No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
No verification items generated for this record.
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.
The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 581 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. 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.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $711/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
Districts view
This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.
Detail
Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 581 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.
Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.
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.
3 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 581 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies.

Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
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?
KnownmediumNo 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
UnknownNSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Listing material
Listed by SOLD Real EstateThe much loved family home of Blacksmiths born and bred locals, this home has seen plenty of laughs and good times over the years.
Never just a fibro shack, this home was master built to stand the test of time, with a solid old hardwood frame, high ceilings and spacious living, graced with decorative cornices, this old girl, still has plenty of grace, charm and extreme potential.
Looking out to a vision of green, the beautiful reserve outlook it a sight to behold, instead of looking into neighbours, or some one else's backyard, here you can appreciate the perfect North aspect with nothing spoiling your view.
All day winter sun and cool summer seabreezes stream through the front sunroom to the open plan living, flowing off a very good quality timber kitchen.
Most of inside has been freshly painted with the neutral colour palette making it easy to move in or rent out immediately.
The living flows to a hallway containing 3 good size bedrooms and the main bathroom, with connection back to the generous open style lounge room and sunroom, or back direct to the quality timber kitchen and dining area.
Step out of the kitchen to a sweet little back living area, where you can still see Nan watching the kids and grandkids splash around in the always warm, good size inground pool.
A good size block, there's lawn front and back, with genuine 2 car garaging and good side access, with a pad for a caravan or boat out front too.
Amazing neighbours sweeten this deal, and with homes nearby being knocked down and extensively renovated, the day is coming when no one can affordably buy here.
So get in now, while there's still opportunity to buy this close to the beach, before prices skip away like they have in Caves Beach.
On the flat, walking distance to the beach, for fabulous fishing, 4 wheel driving, sensational surfing, super swimming and lovely morning and evening walks with the family and puppies, you're just a stone's throw away from beautiful Belmont Golf Course, Blacksmiths brilliant primary school, with Blacksmiths own cafe and shopping strip just an easy a walk or ride away, with everything Belmont and Swansea has to offer, not even 5 minute's drive from home.
The Fernleigh track extension means you can ride to town and enjoy an as active or inactive lifestyle as you like.
Love the beach?
Love Beach life in your new home at Blacksmiths!
