No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
SAZoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 3,845 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $612/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
Districts view
Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.
Detail
The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”
Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.
The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

Development optionality of this lot
KnownlowZoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 3,845 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.
Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumOfficial parcel about 3,845 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.
Lot-level flood
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history
UnknownNo DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.
Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by SY Luxury Real EstateThis commanding 965m² oceanfront corner site, positioned directly opposite the beach on one of Adelaide's most prestigious coastal boulevards, presents a rare opportunity to restore or reimagine a celebrated piece of local history. At the junction of Lady Gowrie Drive and Harold Street, the property delivers breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the Gulf St Vincent and a stately early 1900s façade that exudes character, scale and the promise of architectural revival. The residence is listed as Local Heritage, reflecting its historic significance and ensuring its architectural elements are retained.
Formerly St Joseph's Children's Home and later a music and community centre, the residence's historic exterior, steep gables, heritage detailing and verandah provide a magnificent starting point for a thoughtful restoration or contemporary reinvention.
Reimagine the possibilities
Inspired by one of the most beautiful architectural design trends, bringing together an original classic village style with modern comfort and functionality. This oceanfront property presents a unique opportunity to elevate those foundations into a residence defined by refined finishes, timeless detailing and elegant living spaces.
The original early 1900s house forms the foundation, featuring generous ground-floor rooms, a living area that opens to the verandah and upper-level rooms, toilets and a store, all offering flexible spaces ready to be restored, adapted or expanded.
The concept imagines the heritage frontage complemented by coastal gardens and hedges, period-appropriate fencing and a balcony balustrade that echo the charm of the era. Facing Lady Gowrie Drive, the verandah and balcony wrap around the corner, establishing a commanding street presence.
On the Harold Street side, the concept introduces a modern interpretation with a secure four-car garage, driveway parking for additional vehicles and a first-floor primary suite featuring a terrace and northern views. A mudroom at the entry provides practical functionality, while design seamlessly links the heritage and contemporary zones. All proposed works are subject to council consent (STCC).
At the rear, the concept embraces the ultimate esplanade lifestyle with an undercover timber-decked portico extending from the garage toward the original house, with inbuilt BBQ, space for TV or fireplace and a feature glass door that connects the heritage and modern areas. All extensions and additions are intended to be sympathetic to the existing Local Heritage house, retaining the original decorative elements and elevations, and remain as unobtrusive as possible when viewed from the street.
This vision of extended modern living and entertaining merges classic village-style charm with striking contemporary architecture, resulting in a magnificent mansion for those who appreciate grandeur, opulence and the best of both worlds. Stonework at the garage's rear reflects the coastal setting, while a pool, water feature, lawn and outdoor shower complete the envisioned seaside retreat. A mature pine tree at the end of the property forms a natural canopy above the water feature, providing summer shade.
