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
QLDPlanning 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 $535/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 LJ Hooker TownsvilleTucked into one of North Ward's most tightly held pockets, 30 Howitt Street feels like the kind of place that has quietly watched the world change around it while staying wonderfully solid and true to itself.
It's a single storey home built the way homes used to be built with solid block construction from the outside right through to the internal walls. Nothing lightweight. Nothing flimsy. Just genuine strength that's built to last for generations.
Sitting proudly on a rare 1,012sqm block, the property immediately gives you that sense of space that's becoming almost impossible to find this close to the ocean.
Whether you see a future home with a massive backyard for kids, dogs and weekend projects� or you're already picturing what you could develop here (subject to council approval of course), this land gives you options that don't come around often in North Ward.
The home itself is original, the kind that carries the charm of a bygone era and just needs a little love to bring it back to life.
Three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a layout that's simple, honest and ready for someone with vision.
Out the back sits a separate two-car shed that's perfect for extra storage or somewhere to secure the toys.
Would realise the price of $540 - 560 per week in the current rental market.
*The weekly rental amount may be subject to change depending on time the property
is marketed for rent.
But it's the location that does all the talking. Walk a few steps and you'll find yourself at Jezzine Barracks park with its oceanfront paths and rolling green spaces.
Keep wandering and The Strand opens up in front of you. Townsville's best beachfront with swimming, cycling, sunrise coffees, lazy lunches and summer evenings by the water.
The Rockpool, bars, restaurants, caf�s, clubs and the Casino are all within easy reach. It's coastal living without compromise.
This is one of those opportunities that invites imagination. Renovate. Rebuild. Develop. Or simply enjoy a huge block in one of Townsville's most premium suburbs.
Whatever future you see, 30 Howitt Street is the kind of address that will reward you for years to come.
Rare land. Solid construction. An unbeatable lifestyle location. Welcome to North Ward living at its finest.
