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 $711/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. 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 First National Real Estate Andrew McGrathA subtropical oasis awaits, nestled beautifully between the long white sands of Blacksmiths Beach, and the aqua marine paradise that is Swansea Channel and Lake Macquarie.
Located on the coveted east-side of this tightly held beachside community the large, level block is in a safe and quiet cul-de-sac an easy stroll to both the surf-club and the local shops.
Offering a coastal lifestyle without equal, just an hour from Hornsby and 30 minutes from the CBD of Newcastle, this is beachside living at its very best with a tonne of scope to create whatever you want.
The 695 square metre block itself offers a sunny north to rear aspect with a single garage, large lawn area, a mini orchard and chookyard on the rear boundary.
Managed without the use of poisons and chemicals for the last six years, the mini orchard includes semi mature trees of lime, lemonade, ruby grapefruit, lemon, orange and mandarin, along with tamarillo, nectarine, fig, jaboticaba, apricot, guava, dwarf mulberry, custard apple, pomegranate, chocolate sapote and passionfruit. Neighbouring mango and frangipani overhang the fence.
The yard has been sensibly planted to allow for a large extension to the existing fully renovated three bedroom plus study house. Plans and engineering drawings are available for the previously approved (DA lapsed November 2015) extension.
With no plans to ever leave, the house itself was renovated for the current owner by a master builder with superb attention to both quality and detail. The scope of works included new cladding, insulation, eaves and fascia boards, new windows and doors, new wiring, new front deck, new gyprock, lighting, blinds, ceiling fans, built-in wardrobes, new kitchen cabinetry, 900mm Ilve electric stove, new gas fire, new fencing and side gate.
Sitting beautifully within a private, landscaped tropical front garden screened from the street by a mature tiger grass hedge, it has been renovated and reinvented to include louvred windows, double glazing balanced with insulated walls to create a comfortable eco-friendly home which captures those cooling north-eastern breezes, negating the need for expensive air conditioning.
Other low energy credentials include ceiling fans with retractable blades in all bedrooms and office, Solar hot water and a mains gas supplied Heat N Glow fireplace. The house and garage were completely rewired in 2011 (smart meter included) with an extension in mind and a tonne of existing power capacity for every appliance you could want.
Take the tour to fully appreciate what this home and the area has to offer.
