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 $636/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 Gardian Real EstateIf you want a tidy low-set cottage in a great location and want room for a big shed then you won't want to miss this one.
This much-loved, well-maintained cottage is set in a superb location on a corner block and has fantastic side access and heaps of room for that shed.
The house is set towards the front of the block and that leaves a huge space at the back for the shed you've always wanted. The back yard is a blank canvas and you won't believe how good the access is for vehicles.
Located near Parkside shopping centre, the IGA, a pharmacy, the hospital, high schools and primary schools, Paget and the CBD, the property is also an easy walk to Souths Suburban bowls club.
Set on a full fenced 790sq m block, some of the features include:
- Three bedrooms, including a big main bedroom
- Large eat-in kitchen that has original features but was meticulously maintained by the long-term owner of the property
- The kitchen has a servery through to the lounge room, which keeps the two spaces connected
- Bathroom that has also been well maintained so it is very neat and tidy
- Very large, enclosed area at the back of the house that includes the laundry and another space that could serve a multitude of purposes, including a bonus storage space
- Single-car carport
This is a superb opportunity for a buyer to get into the incredibly popular West Mackay market at an affordable price.
While the features are original, the house was looked after by the former owner so it is very well presented.
While buyers will look at renovating the property, it is very clean and tidy and could certainly be lived in before undertaking the renos.
A young person or couple might want to live in the property as it is and renovate as time goes by. Others might want to renovate the bathroom and kitchen, remove the floor coverings, put in some air-conditioners and give it a freshen up before moving in.
You really need to come and see the property to assess the potential, including opening up the lounge/dining areas.
Buyers will make their own decisions on what to do but there are some things that are certain: the location is a winner, the block lends itself to having a great shed, the house is tidy and very liveable until you are ready to renovate and the price is affordable in a strong market.
