Districts View
View not ready — official layers are still retrieving for this property. Official planning layers still retrieving. Flood / bushfire / heritage not yet retrieved. No recorded sale price for this property. Districts does not score a property it cannot yet see.
Nothing about this record stands out yet — coverage may still be filling in.
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.
1 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
UnknownPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.
Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood
UnknownOfficial flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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
UnknownDevelopment applications have not been queried 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 HOME.BYHOLLY#soldbysally #soldbyash
This is an elevated mid-century home that has been lovingly updated and maintained. Rising from the high side of the street, the house gifts private views of nature and greenery from expansive windows throughout. With three peaceful bedrooms and an EER of 5, this is a place for couples and young families to experience comfort and tranquillity minutes from some of the city's best amenities.
Mature native gardens screen and hold, and a sequence of green walled pathways serve up a delightful choice of entry. Once inside, past the large ornamental pear tree, the interior is a warm haven with layered textures and tones. Soft green carpets merge to cork floors, the central hallway opening to a family room imbued with warmth and comfort. The brick hearth is set with a gas heater and light falls from multiple large glass windows. We love the circular flow, the long living space, curving to the dining and kitchen. The dining table is set beneath a huge window that welcomes eastern light, floating treetops and blue sky, straight into the room.
The sunny kitchen is perfect for entertaining or relaxed family meals, with generous bench-tops meeting banks of country style cabinets with ample storage. A central hallway runs the breadth of the home, nicely privatising the three bespoke bedrooms. Lighting is unique, vintage and functional. Outdoor security shutters help keep the bedrooms temperate in all seasons. Graced with afternoon sun and leafy garden views, the bedrooms are generous and the master offers up a wall of built-in robes.
The bathroom is finished in soft creams and a large vanity. There is an adjacent laundry, recently retiled in Italian terracotta, that opens directly to the generous back yard offering a timber deck, spacious lawn, curving sandstone retaining wall and clever re-use of the garage slab, creating an open-air, sunny dining stage. An ample free-standing shed sits discreetly next to established trees. Lemon and cumquat trees are developing on the upper level, and fruits, vegetables and herbs sit neatly in the Corten steel planter boxes that flank the al fresco dining space.
This house is perfectly positioned on Blackman. It is surrounded by parkland and ovals, as well as a cornucopia of Canberra's best shops, eating and drinking experiences, schools and hospital. It is a mere 11 minutes' drive into the centre of Canberra and the ANU, which can both also be accessed via a bike trail that is a stone's throw from the front door. The house is close to the walking trails of Mt Painter reserve and The Pinnacle reserve. It is also walking distance to Jamison Plaza and the Belconnen precinct, including the new Capital Food Market, Bunnings, and Westfield Belconnen. Take your pick of local shops in either Macquarie or Cook, home to popular cafés like Little Oink, craft beer and pizza at the community pub To All My Friends, Kinh Do Vietnamese, The Cook Grocer and an excellent pharmacy. Aranda shops are also close by, with the famous Two Before Ten a popular breakfast spot on the weekend. It is a nice walk to Lake Ginninderra and the Lighthouse Pub. Transport and schools are close to hand, including Radford College and Macquarie Primary, and the North Canberra Hospital, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the University of Canberra are mere minutes away.
