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
VICPlanning 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $586/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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 Vicprop Manningham240 Burwood Highway & 2A Peacock Street, Burwood are being offered together across two separate titles, delivering an exceptionally rare investment opportunity in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held and consistently high-performing education precincts.
Positioned directly opposite Deakin University on a combined 654sqm approx. corner landholding within Residential Growth Zone 2, this income-producing asset combines strong immediate cash flow, near-zero vacancy risk and substantial long-term development potential.
Currently operating as approved and accredited rooming houses, the properties benefit from consistently high occupancy throughout the year, underpinned by relentless student and accommodation demand from Deakin University and surrounding educational institutions. The existing medium-term rental agreements average approximately $800 per room per month (approximately $134,000 per annum in total), creating a highly attractive income stream with further upside available through rental optimisation, refurbishment or reconfiguration.
Together, the two freestanding brick residences provide an impressive total of 14 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across two separate dwellings, making this a rare scale offering in a proven rental catchment.
240 Burwood Highway occupies the larger corner allotment of approximately 456sqm and features a substantial nine-bedroom residence with a wide 29.8m approx. frontage to Peacock Street, providing outstanding future design and redevelopment flexibility (STCA).
2A Peacock Street sits privately beside it on approximately 198sqm and comprises a five-bedroom residence with two bathrooms and comes complete with a garage, carport and wide driveway access.
For investors, the appeal is multi-layered:
• Strong existing holding income with proven occupancy history
• Significant rental demand driven by Deakin University directly opposite
• Potential to increase returns through renovation or extension (STCA)
• Future redevelopment scope within Residential Growth Zone 2 (STCA)
• Exceptional long-term land banking opportunity in a high-growth corridor
• Potential future purpose-built student accommodation or boutique multi-residential project (STCA)
The location credentials are extraordinary. Directly opposite Deakin University and only moments from the under-construction Burwood Train Station, the property is exceptionally connected by tram, bus and major arterial networks. Surrounded by elite private schools including PLC and Mount Scopus Memorial College, and within close reach of Burwood One, Burwood Brickworks, Box Hill Central, Aqualink and the Gardiner Creek Trail, this is a location with enduring tenant demand and powerful future growth fundamentals.
An exceptionally rare opportunity to secure a high-yield, blue-chip corner investment with immediate income, future scalability and significant development potential in one of Melbourne’s premier education and transport precincts.
