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 Ray White Burnside1930s charm meets 21st Century comfort at 42 The Strand; a gorgeous Tudor-style 3-bedroom residence with a classic red-brick façade and gabled roof, stylishly refurbished kitchen and bathroom, and a sublime position overlooking parkland at the end of a tree-lined cul-de-sac.
The house sits behind picket fencing and clipped hedges on a generous 690sqm (approx.) block with cushioned lawn front and back. Inside, a well-considered renovation has elevated comfort levels without losing any of the property's historic allure - solid timber floorboards, sash windows, decoratively panelled ceilings and ornate fretwork in the entry hall, all lovingly retained.
Adjacent to the meals area and opening onto the rear verandah through glass-paned French Doors, the kitchen is a modern culinary hub with reams of crisp white cabinetry and a full suite of gleaming stainless-steel appliances. The bathroom has also undergone a full makeover and boasts toasty underfloor heating, a frameless glass-enclosed rain shower with herringbone-patterned wall tiling, and twin sinks in the chic vanity unit.
Of the 3 bedrooms, the largest is also the loveliest; positioned behind double sliders off the entry foyer, with expansive front garden views, BIRs, a fireplace with decorative domed brickwork, and exquisite ceiling detailing. The floor plan also incorporates a concealed laundry beside the powder room, attic storage with ladder access, and a secure single garage.
This is a very neighbourly pocket of Colonel Light Gardens, home to the magnificent Mortlock Park, where families flock to on weekends, and the Local Crowd café, a popular meeting spot that's literally up the street. This location also puts you within easy reach of hip eateries (like the all-new Panorama Hotel), shopping hubs (Pasadena Foodland and Mitcham Square), and coveted state and private schooling.
