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
SAPlanning 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $545/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.

Listing material
Listed by Harris South CoastWith Spring & Summer just around the corner, what better time to discover this cute Circa 1973 double brick getaway, located only 250 metres from the esplanade along Franklin Parade. The home sits on an easy to maintain 532m2 allotment with a wide 26m street frontage. Renovations in 2019 included sanding back the pine floorboards which are found in the lovely front living room and passageways, together with upgrading the bathrooms, laundry and kitchen.
The home is deceptively large, disposed to four bedrooms - two at either end of the home, separated by the living room on one side and the bathrooms and kitchen on the other. The kitchen/dining room is light and bright, painted white with black & white chessboard lino, with lovely big windows adding to the sense of space. Plantation shutters add to the appeal, as does the white cabinetry affording plenty of bench and cupboard space. The kitchen comes with a Beko dishwasher, gas cooktop and electric oven.
The main bathroom is again light and bright, with a bath, shower alcove, vanity and wc. The laundry incorporates the second bathroom, with a separate wc and shower. The living room is a gorgeous room with lovely big windows found either side of the brick fireplace with built-in slow combustion fire. A very welcoming leadlight entrance door ushers you inside into the living space. There is very little garden to look after, found mostly at the front of the home with a paved driveway with off-street parking for two cars, with a small paved area found at the back of the home.
The location is the absolute winner here - you can go for a magnificent coastal walk along the foreshore at Franklin Parade, as well as being so close to the iconic Yilki General Store and Beach House Café. Whalers restaurant and the boat ramp at "The Bluff" are also close at hand.
This is a home which will appeal to most - a wonderful holiday escape, an easy to maintain coastal residence and a very appealing investment opportunity, ideally suited for either permanent or holiday rental accommodation.
A great location and a lot to like!
