Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Australian Capital Territory schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Downer's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
Planning
Planning data is being calculated
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
ACTPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $420/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 for this property. 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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 1.4%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Listing material
Listed by HOME.BYHOLLYHighlights - new state of the art kitchen, double glazing, extensive living and big bedrooms not to mention the great outdoors!
Resting on a tranquil tree-lined street in a private setting this beautiful family home has been extended and renovated to create a versatile spatial arrangement with a wonderful connection to the outdoors. The huge open plan living design is enhanced by an easy to and fro to the expansive entertainer's deck, informed by leafy gardens. The generous renovated kitchen champions the textures and tones of nature. The intimate wing delivers the potential of a second living area and a sequestered master bedroom graced by northern light.
Easy care timber look flooring flows underfoot and big windows allow the light to pour in. There is a welcoming foyer with a coat cupboard for stashing bags, hanging coats and woolies. A wonderful generosity of space informs the living, dining and cooking. A big dining table can be set beneath the bay window and there is lots of room for a comfy arrangement of couches. The original brick chimney nods to the past, delivering an earthy feel that coalesces with a materiality that combines stone, timber and soothing natural tones.
A big island gifts a relaxed spot for everyone to gather and stone worktops waterfall to the floor. The kitchen captivating with its banks of seamless cabinetry in eucalypt green. Open timber shelves allow you to reach for items and kit kat tiling adds a lovely textural note. There are quality appliances from Westinghouse, including a dishwasher and off to one side, the convenience of a European laundry. A glass door welcomes light and allows the space to naturally spill out to deck and garden in the warmer months.
A lovely hallway curves to the north, culminating in the master bedroom with its roomy walk-in-robe. Nearby there is easy access to the garden via double glass doors and the room is handy to the second bathroom with its twin basins, luminescent wall of glass bricks and separate powder room. There are three additional bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate toilet. The huge fifth bedroom opens directly onto the deck and can be easily utilised as a second living area or media room for the kids.
Underpinning it all is the city lifestyle…stroll to the local for coffee and house made buttermilk waffles from Gang Gang Cafe. Gang Gang is one of the few intimate venues remaining, showcasing celebrated and innovative musicians and hosting sociable trivia nights and fab flea markets.
The Dickson precinct is moments away for essential services, shopping and international cuisine. And the area is rich in parklands with Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park, Downer Micro-Forest and walking trails all close to hand. The home is walking distance to schools and transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD, which is an easy drive or bike ride away.

Why is this cheap?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood
UnknownOfficial flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
