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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 615 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 $575/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.

Listing material
Listed by Merrifield Real EstateThis delightful character home with fabulous harbour views offers you the chance to own a piece of historic Albany.
As it approaches a century old, this lovely property shows beautiful maturity rather than age, and its original jarrah floors and doors, high ceilings, picture rails, timber sash windows and open fireplaces give it timeless appeal.
The original cottage, probably built for Railway, or Albany Woollen Mills workers, has been carefully maintained and extended over the years. Improvements have enhanced and complemented the original home, and it now offers the comfort, versatility and space demanded by today's families.
Its proximity to the city centre is another drawcard – the property is a few minutes' walk from restaurants, the farmers' market, the library, shops and parkland, and the children could walk or cycle to school.
Constructed mainly of weatherboard and steel, the spacious home occupies a neat 615sqm block with a single open-face garage at the rear and off-road parking for several vehicles.
At the front door, a long hallway leads to the back of the home, past three of the bedrooms and the impressive bathroom featuring a clawfoot bath, walk-in shower, toilet and long vanity. The bedrooms are all king-sized and two have fireplaces, while one also has a dressing room with built in cupboards.
There's another bedroom downstairs. With a spa bath, shower, toilet and built-in wardrobe, this bedroom is ideal as guest quarters, but it also lends itself to a range of different uses such as a studio, home office or gym.
In addition to the warm, welcoming lounge, there's a sizeable sunroom or family room along the rear of the house, with windows to maximise the fabulous views to the port and over Princess Royal Harbour to Little Grove and Vancouver Peninsula.
Sharing the view through the sunroom are the centrally located dining area and the adjoining kitchen – with abundant cabinetry and a chef's stove.
On the lower floor is a sheltered seating area leading out to a paved patio in the back garden, which is fully fenced and with garden beds and trees.
All this adds up to a wonderful lifestyle awaiting the fortunate new owners of this outstanding real estate.
