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. Listed land size is 749 m² — that is not 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 $621/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.

Honest achievable rent

Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?

Lot-level flood
UnknownOfficial flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history

Listing material
Listed by Verse Property GroupFinding opportunity doesn't necessarily mean you have to start from a low base.
Sometimes, everything essential presents itself and everything you always wanted, is just a step or two away.
55 Alvah street, is that solid base, that sturdy Easel, offering a comfortable beginning with much more than just a blank canvas to work from.
A generational home that providing safe harbour to all of life's wonderful journey, trials and joys alike, '55 Alvah' can assure all interested of comfort and security, as soon as you move in. Already generous in size, space and comfort, once settled, other than adding your own colour, there's not alot required here to make you feel 'at home'.
Not your average 'War service home' floor design, the rear room is more than double the usual size with an apparant purpose built extension to accomodate a growing family,
a nice sized garden and a carport adjacent, workshop/shed with asbestos roof and walls replaced with colorbond. Inside the bathroom has been renovated for ease of access and contemporary looks. A big country sized kitchen / dining space opens onto the rear laundry/toilet which in turn has ample room for a prestige 2nd bathroom renovation?
With a large undercroft/patio for outdoor entertainment and year round outdoor dining/leisure options, there is nothing amiss here other than the possibility of missing the the chance to secure a generous, 'inner urban 746 Sqm lot with home and haven only 8km from the CBD', only a stroll either way around the corner/s to large reserves/ manicured parks and great public schools, not to mention, premium public transport access and great shopping options in all directions.
Be quick to inspect, as property this well positioned, this well presented, this well priced, in such a market short of quality prospects, will not last long...
Call Julian (0419936202) and Jackson (0420719978) for information and inspection/s and/or come to one of our scheduled home opens.
