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: Victoria schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Based on the low end of the asking range, not a contract price.

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
VICPlanning 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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.

A unique piece of the district's history is on offer in Macarthur, only 1/2 hour drive from Port Fairy, providing the purchaser endless opportunities.
138 years after its construction, the St Malachy's Catholic Church is now ready to take on a new lease of life, a conversion limited only by the buyers imagination.
The main portion of the church building was constructed in 1887 from local volcanic stone, quarried from a nearby property, while a later addition at the main entrance is of bluestone construction.
The building showcases stunning Gothic style elements including stained glass windows, vaulted ceiling and pointed arch windows.
Rich in history.
Sitting on 1.09 Acres or 4421 square metres.
RENOVATIONS: The church has now been renovated, it only needs external plumbing, wiring, plastering and tiling, then fit off. Our circumstances have changed and not finishing it off is heart breaking.
HISTORY OF RENOVATIONS: The church now has 5 bedrooms, behind the kitchen is a fully disabled bedroom and bathroom, all bedrooms are roughly 6.1 metre by 4.5 metre’s, including the bathrooms. Water has been connected to the church and mains power has been updated from the street and a new metre box and breakers have been installed. The church has two kitchens, the main kitchen is in the Vestry, It will be a fully compliant commercial kitchen with stainless benches sinks and fridge.
THE DESIGN: Part owner of the church is Alex Devantier, he is a qualified interior architect and the design is breath taking, with 10.5 metre ceiling at the ridge, the design begged for a mezzanine. Alex took this to a new level with the 8 metre long gang way, joining three of the upstairs bedrooms, with voids either side, looking up to the 10.5 metre ridge.
COMPLIANCE: Surveyors are in place, council have agreed to the driveway, the septic system and are happy working with the surveyors, all reports and documentation are available upon request to genuinely interested parties.
HANDOVER: Patricia and Alex want to see the building complete, with the sale an agreement can be made, that ensures Alex helps with the completion of the build, the amount of input depends on the new owners requests.
