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 $546/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
KnownlowThis is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.
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
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
UnknownDevelopment applications have not been queried for this parcel.
Statutory land value versus ask

Listing material
Listed by Ray White UnleyWhat starts with an immaculate bluestone facade and meticulously landscaped gardens ends with an epic modern-industrial extension - and the realisation that this turn of the century Worker's Cottage is everything you've been searching for, and more.
A home that draws you in and tugs at the heartstrings from the moment you step inside. The impressive hallway commands attention, with soaring ceilings, Velux skylight and a decorative arch that pays homage to the home's heritage.
Crisp white walls provide a striking contrast to the warmth of Blackbutt floorboards, while wool carpet offers extra comfort underfoot throughout the three bedrooms. Ornate plasterwork and decorative ceiling roses are another nod to the home's character-filled past.
Every detail in the renovated bathroom exudes sophistication; floor-to-ceiling tiles, Caesarstone surfaces, underfloor heating, large free-standing bath, and a striking mosaic feature tile, with a separate powder room adding convenience and style.
Where timber meets polished concrete, you have arrived at the show-stopping open plan extension - your entering mecca - a breath taking fusion of form and function that will stop you in your tracks and make your heart skip a beat.
Soaring ceilings reach up to 4.2 metres, drawing your eye upward - or outward to the garden. High, north-facing windows frame the sky and treetops, enhancing the sense of space, while tropical Bird of Paradise plants along the side of the house provide a lush backdrop for family moments.
The kitchen is a statement in itself - a premium Caesarstone workspace with 900mm Fisher & Paykel oven and gas cooktop, window splashback, ASKO dishwasher, a luxurious walk-in pantry, and sleek joinery designed for both beauty and practicality.
As night falls, the living zone transforms into a haven. A crackling combustion fireplace and the glow of garden lighting outside sets the perfect mood to unwind after a busy day.
Outdoors, the spotted gum deck invites long lunches and twilight dinners. With a built-in barbecue, firepit area, and lush irrigated gardens, this is an entertainer's paradise - where music drifts through hidden garden speakers and laughter lingers late into the evening.
All just a short stroll from Forestville Reserve, Wayville Farmers Market, Unley Swimming Centre and the Goodwood Road precinct - a location loved for its leafy streets, vibrant community, and effortless access to the city and coast.
A flawless blend of past and present, warmth and innovation - this is where character meets contemporary, and proof that love at first sight really does exist.
