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 $602/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 First National Real Estate Andrew McGrathOver the last 40+ years locals have walked past this original gem on their morning stroll and thought "if ever that house comes on to the market I will buy it!" We've all been waiting a long time for an opportunity like this.
Firstly, an unbeatable location, literally across the road from one of the rarest stretches of crystal clear aqua water you will ever see, at the entrance to picturesque Lake Macquarie - a water lovers dream. Walk into Swansea CBD and enjoy all the amenities you'll need in around 15min, or jump in the car and drive around 3km to pristine Blacksmiths Beach and 9 Mile Beach ... you can even take the 4WD on the sand! The lifestyle this home offers is just amazing! Close to schools, transport, great fishing, great surfing, swimming, scuba diving, jetski....sorry, got carried away...
Set on a near level block of 1069m2 with a 20m frontage and dual access! This home keeps all your options open.
For period renovators or someone with the skills, this is a dream come true! The original hardwood, two bedroom cottage is over 114 years old according to the family that are selling and has all the old world features including 11 foot timber lined ceilings, the original timber lined walls are still present (think of the stately "Queenslander" look), there's a double sided fireplace, the front and rear coloured transoms above the doors are still intact, and the floor boards are the big wide boards not found today - there is plenty to love about this home. Either way though, the house is absolutely solid and would be an ideal weekender until you're ready to bring your forever home to life.
This is likely the only original cottage left along the blue ribbon stretch, they've all made way for modern homes over the years and some are now asking over $4million, you can create your own for a lot less.
The block is Zoned R2 Low Density Residential - there is the potential to build the dream home or an attached dual occupancy Subject to Council approval.
The rear lane could see the astute purchaser build a large garage and possibly Granny Flat above to take advantage of the views - subject to Council approval.
The original home has views over the Channel from the living area, main bedroom and kitchen and the single garage!
Located in the water lovers paradise that is Swansea, you can walk across the road to catch your next meal or wander along the pathway into Swansea CBD for a bite to eat.
The 6 metre x 3 metre garage accessed from Channel Street was built in 2005 - perfect to house the boat or jet ski.
Dont let this slip away - pool all the family money and buy yourselves a sensational parcel of land in a dream location.
Auction on Site Saturday April 29th, 12pm.
