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
SAPlanning 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 $580/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 Harris Real Estate Daw ParkAfter four carefully considered extensions and 36 years in the hands of one family, this C1925 character bungalow emerges in the best shape of its life on a 700sqm (approx) plot with a resort-like rear that feels three worlds away from the CBD.
Instead, this 5-bedroom crowd-pleaser sits on arguably Colonel Light Gardens' leafiest street, setting the perfect scene for this solar-powered haven with a lagoon-like pool and a veil of lush garden.
Enduring double brick bones, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and Baltic pine floors define the original portion of this periodically updated, ducted-comforted home with two modern bathrooms.
A light-filled formal lounge marks the transition to a vast open-plan rear addition that draws the eye to its timeless provincial style kitchen and gardens beyond via expansive glazing.
Timber tops, a gas cooktop, dishwasher, island/breakfast bar and loads of storage make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful.
Step out and onto the travertine pavers of a pavilion with a full kitchen, fireplace, servery/bar and cafe blinds that close to make it a room in its own right, steps front that heated pool.
Those bill-busting panels and battery, dual carport, additional off-street parking and ducted AC top of this sublimely practical, always comforting home within a pause of quality schools, shopping options, reserves, city, hills and coast. You really can have it all.
