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 $703/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 Simon Wall PropertyIf you and your family have dreamed of living a coastal inspired lifestyle where you can hear the melodic sounds of the ocean, within a location that is widely regarded as one of Merewether's most exclusive enclaves then now is your chance to make the move and Carpe Diem "seize the day". While the current home was built in 2015 this fabulous beachside position is being offered for sale for the first time in 75 years. The new masterpiece was crafted and built to celebrate some of Merewether's most expansive 270-degree ocean and district views that become a kaleidoscope of lights to enjoy each night.
From the moment you step inside this remarkable residence you are greeted by a spectacular staircase that frames the entry foyer and balances the home perfectly. The ground floor level with 9-foot ceilings provides you with a well-balanced, yet flexible floorplan where you can easily accommodate growing families who have teenagers requiring their own space, or perhaps you might be a dual family needing separate living arrangements.
The ground floor level boasts a spacious lounge room with plenty of storage space and custom-built floor to ceiling cabinetry, two enormous bedrooms both of which contain walk in wardrobes, ceiling fans, ducted air conditioning and down lights. Perfectly placed between these bedrooms and demonstrating the forward thinking that has gone into this functional floorplan is the placement of the spacious bathroom which features floor to ceiling tiles, an oversized shower, free standing bathtub and wall hung vanity. You will also enjoy the benefits of a generous sized linen cupboard, toilet and spacious laundry at the rear of the home for easy access into the private backyard.

You could soon be the envy of family and friends as you spend quality time with each other embracing the sweeping views as an enviable back drop.
Resting in the heart of the home and ideally placed to capture the endless panoramic views is the well-appointed, entertainer's kitchen which showcases Caesarstone benchtops, gas top cooking, quality appliances, an oversized plumbed in refrigerator and walk in pantry. Further illustrating the thoughtful design of this home is the fact that the kitchen and all the entertaining areas on this level are positioned to absorb the expansive views highlighting many of Newcastle's most iconic locations and watch the whales from the kitchen window as they migrate in their thousands every year.
Set at the side facing southeast is a large fourth bedroom with walk in robe, while adjacent is an enormous master bedroom/parents retreat that is as large as some apartments. The master bedroom showcases a huge his and her walk-in robe with dual access, babies' quarters or home office plus a spacious ensuite that enjoys an oversized shower, dual wall hung vanity, toilet and yes you guessed it more ocean views.
Just when you thought this opportunity couldn't get any better you will be happy to know that the home comes fitted out with an enviable, triple lock up garage that is fit for a king. The enormous garage boasts plenty of storage and workspace, plus features 10½ foot high ceilings, dual access entry via separate electric roller doors and internal access inside the home. There is also space outside of the garage for 3 more cars, a caravan or a boat.
