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 686 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 $580/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.
3 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownlowZoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 686 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 686 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 OCAuction Sat, 7th Dec - 11.30am (usp)
Deviating ever so slightly from the bungalows and tudors its tightly-held suburb is so renowned for, this C1926 symmetrical cottage is a character home that stands out - from its picture-pretty facade, all the way to its separate rear studio.
Behind its head-turning front gardens is a spacious, light-drenched family home with Baltic pine floorboards, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, leadlight windows and a nimble floorplan of multiple living zones, including a north-facing formal lounge/dining room combo with an arched opening.
With striking granite benchtops, stainless steel appliances and so much roaming room at its tiled feet, the Farquhar eat-in kitchen - and its partnering living room - ensures food is at the core of all the quality family time to come in this ducted-comforted home.
Featuring a pitched-roof pavilion with summer on its mind, a subtly raised paved patio and an expansive studio that could be anything from a rumpus/games room to a home away from home for your teens, you'll find it hard to ever outgrow this consummate entertainer with the scope to extend and prime central position between the CBD and coast.
Sited on one of Colonel Light Gardens' leafiest streets, you'll always be within arms reach of Winston Avenue's cafes and famous bakery, Goodwood Road's salons and pharmacy, Mitcham Square, Cumberland Park's shopping precinct and a range of quality schools and public transport for the swiftest commute to the CBD. Stand out. Step out and enjoy every second.
