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.

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 $400/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.
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.

Listing material
Listed by HOME.BYHOLLY#soldbysally #soldbyash $875,000
This beautifully renovated three-bedder is light and bright with big muntin windows framing the gardens. The classic red brick form is perfectly angled on the block to make the most of the northern sunshine, and there is a long front veranda that evokes the best of country living. Within soothing neutrals, continue the relaxed modern country theme, and glass sliders open to the rear, where sheltered alfresco living gazes across the private garden.
McEachern Crescent is a quiet loop street, surrounded by green spaces and handy to several local schools. It is a short stroll to Melba Oval, Ginninderra Creek, and Mt Rogers, famed for its popular walking track that takes in sweeping views of Belconnen Town Centre. The home is also handy to the local shops, a lovely community hub, home to the popular Café Mamé.
A private driveway ushers to a semi-enclosed, three-car tandem carport with a big workshop so you can get creative from home. There is also an off-street parking bay and gated pedestrian access directly into the rear garden. An avenue of conifers lines the driveway, and the front garden is beautifully tended, with a swell of soft lawn and pretty plantings.
Within, a gentle materiality conspires with lots of natural light to create a soothing haven. Think creamy white walls, floating timber shelving, and a combo of easy-care ceramic flooring and warming carpet. The generous front living room is distinguished by its glorious bay window, framing the colours and textures of the natural world, and there is an open flow into the kitchen and combined meals area beyond.
The perfectly arrayed kitchen delivers a long peninsula, waterfall stone worktops, and lots of great storage. There are quality all-electric appliances, including a dishwasher and a big window, so you can watch the kids at play in the backyard. Think easy family meals, a convivial chatty flow across to the dining table, and the perfect spill to a long sheltered patio with ample space for relaxing and celebrating.
A broad hallway ushers to three bedrooms with big windows that welcome a grace of light. The master bedroom features a hero window that captures the landscape and includes a big robe for seamless storage. A beautiful family bathroom sits central, floor-to-ceiling tiling and a generous wall-hung vanity. There is also a lovely laundry with a timber counter that evokes idyllic country scenes - think stepping directly outside, basket in hand, collecting fresh produce from the neatly fenced vegetable garden with its bountiful lemon tree.
The home is within walking distance of schools, parks, transport, and Ginninderra Creek, BMX Club, and Melba Half Acre Wood and surrounded by green spaces and reserves. Close to the fabulous Melba shops, with local favourite Café Mamé, famous for its delicious pastries and vegan options, the home is also close to the Belconnen precinct, connecting you to a plethora of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Handy to the UC, AIS, Lake Ginninderra, Bruce Stadium, it is a mere 13.4 kms to the CBD.

Why is this cheap?

Lot-level flood
