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
SAPlanning 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 $580/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.

UnknownPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
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?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood

This lot's DA history

Statutory land value versus ask

Listing material
Listed by Harris Real Estate Kent TownSome homes preserve the past. Others improve on it.
Set behind the picture-perfect façade of C1926 bungalow, 66 Sturt Avenue is firmly the latter - taking the character and craftsmanship define its era, then stretching confidently into a rear extension that understands exactly how modern life likes to unfold.
The original home wears its history with pride. Soaring moulded ceilings, polished timber floors, fireplaces, pressed-tin detailing and elegant wainscoting celebrate its heritage with quiet confidence, while every enhancement respects what came before.
A wide central hallway sets the tone, threading through two generous bedrooms with built-in robes before arriving at a beautifully proportioned central lounge. A separate sitting room and dedicated study with its own external access add another layer of flexibility, whether that's a home office, consulting space, or kids' retreat.
Then it changes pace.
The rear extension prioritises connection, anchored by a galley kitchen that keeps every occasion moving with ease. Stainless-steel appliances, generous preparation space, and a broad servery bench overlook a dedicated dining area and expansive family zone, creating one seamless social hub where everyone naturally comes together.
A fourth bedroom quietly extends the home's versatility, while a spacious family bathroom, and separate laundry keep routines running without compromise.
Sliding doors peel back to an entertainer's pavilion that feels like another living room entirely, where a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with BeefEater gas barbecue and drinks fridge ensures the host never misses a moment. Beyond, lush lawns leave plenty of room for pets, backyard cricket, and long afternoons in the sunshine, while a substantial workshop stands ready for hobbies, hands-on projects, or serious storage.
Rear lane access, reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, irrigation, a secure carport, and additional off-street parking complete a home where every practical detail has already been considered.
Beyond the front gate, the lifestyle is every bit as compelling. Kent Road Reserve sits almost as an extension of your own front yard, while Colonel Light Gardens Primary and Clapham Primary are within easy reach, alongside zoning for Unley High School and proximity to Scotch and Mercedes Colleges. Torrens Park Railway Station keeps the city commute simple, Brown Hill Creek rewards the weekends, and Hark Coffee, Local Crowd, the Panorama Hotel, Pasadena Foodland, and Mitcham Square ensure every coffee, dinner, grocery run, and movie night is never far from home.
Respectfully preserved where it matters, brilliantly extended where it counts - this is Colonel Light Gardens at its most complete.
