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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 4,047 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 $790/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.

Completely screened from the road and accessed by a charming curving driveway through the majestic native eucalypts, you'll find the cottage nestling amongst a host of mature shrubs, rose beds and fruit trees on a 1 acre block only a few minutes level walk from Glen Forrest's village centre. What a luxury to have the option of an easy walk or quick cycle ride to the shops, cafe, restaurants and sport facilities this popular Hills community offers!

Built in 1948, this property retains many Art Deco influences, coupled with the functional features typical of Hills properties of the era. These include a classic Metters wood fired oven in the original kitchen, which now forms the formal dining room, which also features striking jarrah wainscoting and floorboards. Meanwhile a stroll through the formal lounge room, with its open fire place, beautiful jarrah floors and Art Deco inspired ceiling rose and architraves will have you expecting Poirot to come bustling through from the wonderful wrap around sun room!
The sun room has been created by enclosing the original deep verandah which wraps around the western and southern sides of the property. Being glazed all the way round from waist height up to the ceiling, this is a splendidly flexible space that offers multiple choices for the next owner. Everything from a games room, to a kids play area, or a relaxing warming space when Spring and Autumn sun beams break through. At one end of the sun room is a cosy single bedroom.
The master bedroom is a spacious king-size room with an enormous floor to ceiling built-in wardrobe that occupies one whole wall. Adjacent to this is the small but functional bathroom. In addition to the Art Deco lounge room and dining room, there's also a wonderful family room that benefits from a slow combustion wood burning stove which offers the flexibility to work as an office or study, or a TV room.
The current owners have added a substantial extension to the original cottage which contains the country kitchen, laundry and a bedroom, floored in slate and with a high pitched ceiling. The kitchen has oodles of low level cupboards and drawers for storage, electric hob and double oven, and with a view out to the east of the property where a patio is also located.
The grounds of this wonderful property are a magical mixture of formal planting, native gum trees and meadow, and also contain an original sawyers lumber shed, where timber was prepared for shipment down the hill on the original railway line which now serves as a very popular Heritage walking and cycle Trail. This is a quite remarkable slice of history that has remained safe on this private property while the vast majority of such structures that peppered this township's centre over a 100 years ago have long been lost to posterity.
When the warm swimming days of summer come around, you'll appreciate the good sized below ground pool, discretely located behind a solid wooden fence, which has plenty of room for outdoor furniture if lounging beside the pool is more your thing.
Words cannot do full justice to this one-of-a-kind property. There's just such an amazing choice of sitting and family areas in this property – you are really spoilt for choice! And outside its picturesque and peaceful private backyard is perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation with all your friends and family, with the wonderful pool sure to be an absolute magnet during the summer months.
The property's unique combination of features and its easy access to the centre of one of the communities of choice in the heart of the Hills presents a rare opportunity, and is sure to generate a lot of interest.
This property is being sold under the End Date process. All offers to be received by 12th September 2023. The owner retains the right to sell at any time.
