Districts View
View not ready — official layers are still retrieving for this property. Official planning layers still retrieving. Flood / bushfire / heritage not yet retrieved. No recorded sale price for this property. Districts does not score a property it cannot yet see.
Nothing about this record stands out yet — coverage may still be filling in.
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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. 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 for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $1,275/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 for this property. 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.

OCEANFRONT SOUTH CITY BEACH
WITH PARKLAND ON TWO BOUNDARIES
This is a timeless oceanfront South City Beach home nestled in the dunes.
Built as his own home by renowned builder and developer Pat Begley in the late 1970s, he subsequently moved to the Peppermint Grove waterfront and missed this location so much he and his wife bought back their family home and moved into it for a second time in their retirement years.
A timeless classic, this earthy home is an iconic mainstay on the South City Beach waterfront. Built in the middle of the "back to nature" architectural period of the late 1970's, the home embraces recycled materials and irreplaceable items of historic architectural salvage throughout. Solid clay bricks which are about 150 years old were salvaged from the brick kilns at the old Clackline Refractory. Period doors and stained-glass windows are throughout, as are built in sheoak furniture, doors and floors of the most extraordinarily irreplaceable timbers and craftsman-built quality. Limestone fence work and retaining walls high above the streetscape provide a rich, beauty and high-end coastal allure.
During their second most recent residency here, the owners modernised the home with contemporary high-end kitchen and ensuite, elevator, glass perimeter to alfresco area, full security system, electric perimeter gate etc. They also filled the first-floor pool - which sits above 5m above street level with ocean views on the northern side - with lawn and gardens. The pool still exists and could be reinstated should you wish.
Adults' living is up including family entertaining and front north facing gardens on the first floor providing all-weather, sun-drenched, year-long alfresco living bathed in northern winter sunshine and sheltered from winter SW storms and summer Freo Doctor sou'westerlies. Just like having your own private beachfront cove - such a blissfully protected way to experience the Perth coastline. This is the rarest and best orientation possible along our beachfront - an orientation available almost nowhere else.
Kids' living is down, including three minor bedrooms, games room, undercover alfresco, lawned rear gardens with mature fig tree and backyard studio, giving the property endless depth and intrigue and providing your kids the scope to get lost and explore! There is an elevator between both levels. Additionally, the home contains a big garage, big workshop, and plenty of storage.
For those who wish to start again and redevelop - this site is the best of the best. The only property EVER CREATED on the South City Beach waterfront with two boundaries directly abutting the reserve AND its long boundary facing the ocean! Extraordinarily irreplaceable land and one of the three most central properties to the heart of Perth City on the entire Perth beachfront.
The first-floor gardens and pools are currently non-conforming - you would never be able to build them at this crazy high elevation again! They are an extraordinary asset to enjoy as is or maintain and incorporate into your new home design moving forward.
Life is good here...Welcome to South City Beach.
