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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Queensland schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Scarness's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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 $526/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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.4%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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 The McGill GroupThere is far more to this home than first meets the eye.
Behind the secure frontage of 307 Boat Harbour Drive is a surprisingly spacious and incredibly practical family home, complete with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge all-weather entertaining deck and a separate games room with enough space for the pool table, home gym, hobbies and whatever else the family refuses to keep inside.
Best of all, it is positioned right in the heart of Hervey Bay. Scarness Beach and the Esplanade are approximately one kilometre away, Stockland is only five minutes down the road, and schools, hospitals, sporting facilities, cafes and restaurants are all wonderfully close. No complicated logistics. No treasure map required.
Inside, polished timber floors bring warmth and character to the open-plan living and dining area, creating a relaxed central space for everyday family life. The kitchen is generously proportioned and well equipped, offering excellent storage, plenty of preparation space, quality appliances and a practical layout that makes feeding the family considerably less painful.
The four bedrooms provide genuine room for families, guests or working from home, while the main bedroom includes its own private ensuite and walk-in robe.
Then there is the outdoor living.
The enormous covered deck significantly extends the home's usable living space and provides the perfect setting for weekend barbecues, long lunches, birthday celebrations or simply putting your feet up while the children disappear into the games room.
Measuring approximately 6.1m x 5.9m, the separate games room is a brilliant bonus. Add a pool table, create the ultimate sports room, set up a home gym or give the teenagers somewhere to make noise without taking over the house. An adjoining storage room measuring approximately 6.1m x 2.8m adds even more practicality.
Complete with solar power, air conditioning, secure gated parking and an easy-care 617m² allotment, this is a home designed to give you more space to enjoy and less maintenance to worry about.
Central, coastal and much bigger than it first appears, 307 Boat Harbour Drive deserves to be seen in person.
