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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 1,287 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 $575/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.

Listing material
Listed by Merrifield Real EstateFrom its outstanding site on the side of Mt Melville and less than 1km from Albany's CBD, this substantial property takes in expansive views over Princess Royal Harbour and the port to Mt Clarence, Frenchman Bay and the coastal hills of Torndirrup National Park.
It consists of a double-storey building of two residential units on a subdividable block of 1287sqm, making this valuable package a serious consideration for rental investors appreciating the benefit of two incomes, or far-sighted developers recognising the potentially lucrative options a property of this size – and in this top location – presents.
While the property would make a solid land bank for the future, the brick and tile structure also offers the prospects of conversion to an amazing home for discerning owner-occupiers looking to take advantage of the spectacular views.
Those choosing to subdivide could build a new home on the elevated front section, where the outlook is even more impressive, or sell one part and capitalise.
Currently, it attracts good rental returns from the two units.
Both have been well maintained and each has a comfortable lounge, kitchen/meals area, bathroom with bath, shower and vanity, and a separate toilet.
Unit 1 on the first floor has three bedrooms and a balcony off the lounge. Unit 2 downstairs has two bedrooms and access to a paved outdoor area.
Occupants share a laundry at ground level and there's a freestanding brick garage with a powered workshop and storage space, as well as ample parking and turning space at the front. Terraced gardens are mostly in native vegetation for character and low maintenance, though there's ample scope for planting gardens and growing vegetables.
In a quiet cul-de-sac end of a prestigious street, the property is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and all the amenities of the city centre, adding to its appeal for those who value the city vibe as much as the water views.
