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 $630/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 Presence Real EstateOne of Newcastle's best kept secrets, the Old Courthouse at Minmi, sits majestically on over 2000 square metres of private land and gardens.
Unique is so many ways, “the Old Courthouse” is the hub of the wheel in the Newcastle, Maitland, Raymond Terrace, and Central Coast regions with quick and easy access to Sydney, Singleton, and the North.
Originally built circa 1886 on land gifted by Baron John Brown, the courthouse remained in government hands until 1955 when it was first sold to private owners. Throughout its rich (circa) 135-year history, there have been minimal changes to the residence, with many original features still in place such as the exercise yard with its iron bar roof, steel gaol cell doors, the courtrooms stunning cedar panelled ceilings, and two magnificent, grand arched leadlight windows.
A generously proportioned, purpose-built restaurant was added in 1992 (the building still holds a Liquor Licence) and this added to the established previous uses of day care, art gallery and museum.
The home has eight open fireplaces, six of them are original marble, each with its own stunning colour and design, another is tuck-pointed brick built in 1901, while the huge open fireplace that dominates the spacious restaurant is faced with original sandstock bricks.
Set over two levels, the Old Courthouse provides opportunity and diversity for those with resourcefulness who dare to dream. However, if your ambitions are focused more on family and relaxation, then there's plenty of space for everyone in the sprawling property of over 500 square metres, where you can choose to relax in front of one of the many fireplaces or on one of the beautiful verandahs which surround the building.
The ground floor level features a two-bedroom apartment as well as an additional self-contained one bedroom living area, each with their own private access. (Apartments subject to council approval.)
As they explore the property, future custodians will discover the tiny crowns stamped into the various timber sections of the building, and inherit unique historical items collected over the years.
