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
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 $324/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 @realty$420/week. Tenant locked in. 12-month lease signed.
At offers over $279,000, this three-bedroom home in Blackwater delivers a gross rental yield north of 7.8%. The numbers work from day one. Your tenant is already in place, paying $420 per week on a freshly signed 12-month lease. No vacancy gap. No waiting around for returns to kick in. You settle, and the rent keeps landing.
Why Blackwater - Blackwater sits at the centre of Queensland's Bowen Basin coal region. With a population just under 5,000, rental demand stays consistently strong as workers, families, and essential service staff compete for limited housing stock. Properties in mining-adjacent towns like this have historically offered yields that metro investors can only dream about.
The Property - This is a straightforward, low-maintenance home with long term tenants who are very happy living there. Three bedrooms, a combined living and dining area, a functional kitchen with new stove and oven, solid bench and storage space, and a separate laundry. Four air-conditioning units keep the place comfortable through Central Queensland summers, which matters when you want tenants to stay long-term and look after the place.
A covered carport protects vehicles from the elements, and the 708m² block gives the property breathing room without creating a maintenance headache. The location is practical with Woolworths and the local school both a short walk away, which ticks the convenience boxes that tenants prioritise when choosing where to live.
- Purchase price: Offers over $279,000

- Lease status: 12-month lease in place
The Bottom Line - This is a performing asset with a tenant, a lease, and a yield that stacks up on paper and in practice. Properties like this don't sit around forever, especially at this price point.
