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
NSWPlanning 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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $672/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
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 Harcourts NewcastleIt may look perfectly at home among Cooks Hill's classic terraces, but behind the crisp white façade, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is contemporary through and through. Designed by Space Design Architecture and built by Guy Bunder of MADE Architectural Constructions, it takes the familiar terrace form and gives it a fresh architectural edge, with a clever reverse layout, beautiful natural light and a rich palette of high-end finishes.
American walnut joinery brings warmth throughout, set against travertine floors and walls, Venetian plaster finishes and crisp white interiors. 2.9m high ceilings and full-height doors add to the sense of space, while skylights above the stairwell draw natural light deep into the home.
Upstairs, living, dining and the beautifully crafted kitchen come together in one generous open plan space, with oversized black-framed glazing filling the room with light. Bi-fold doors connect to an enclosed balcony with bi-fold windows, allowing you to open everything up to the breeze or create another protected living and dining zone. The kitchen makes a statement in American walnut, with integrated fridge/freezer, 900mm gas cooktop, pyrolytic oven and a substantial island finished in Venetian plaster. A bedroom and full bathroom completes the upper level.
Downstairs, the king-sized main bedroom is a private retreat with dual walk-in robes and a beautifully finished ensuite. A third bedroom, third bathroom, Euro laundry and excellent storage complete this level, while the rear travertine courtyard gives you a quiet pocket of outdoor space.
And this is Cooks Hill, so much of life happens on foot. Harris Farm Market is just moments away, Darby Street takes care of coffee, dinner and drinks, and Bar Beach, Civic Park, Marketown and Newcastle city centre are all within easy reach. Leave the car behind and make the most of one of Newcastle's most walkable and sought-after neighbourhoods.
