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
QLDPlanning 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 $743/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 Queensland Sotheby's International Realty BrisbaneExceptional sprawling 1,375 sqm double lot with dual-street frontage to two of Hawthorne's most highly sought-after riverside streets, Virginia Ave and Arron Ave. A beautiful character home is positioned on the east-facing Virginia Ave lot, and while it can be refurbished later, it is more than comfortable in the interim.
The second lot fronting Aaron Ave is vacant land and the perfect level building site with stunning terraced stone retaining walls on the centre boundary. Aaron Ave is positioned on the Brisbane River and is a very tightly held enclave with multi-million-dollar properties nearby.
Now on the market for the first time in 35 years, the children have flown the coop, and our sellers are downsizing. The baton is now being passed to the next owner.
Bring your town planner, architect or designer and let the creative juices flow.
The 1930s double brick stucco home with a Spanish revival aesthetic is built on a sloping site and comprises 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Although the rear of the house has been altered, the front section still reflects its revival flavour and charm. There is capacity for greater river and city views.
The interior contains delightful elements including an ornate fireplace with a meticulously finished timber mantel, arched doorways, an entry niche, high decorative plaster ceilings, patterned cornices, and quality polished hardwood flooring.
Externally, the residence has an elaborately decorated arched entry portal over raw brick stairs, coupled with a handsome heavy timber door and wrought iron gate. An outstanding architectural feature is the combination of the stepped façade and curved entry sweeping up to the rounded chimney. Traditional scalloped iron hoods add shade to the leadlight windows and entry.
Three large entertaining areas either poolside, on the rear deck, or in the downstairs patio space with a rumpus room, make for a comfortable lifestyle. Further multi-purpose rooms add extra space. The stunning mosaic terrazzo floor tiling near the pool is a truly unique addition. Car accommodation includes a double side-by-side carport with off-street parking catering for 6-8 vehicles.
