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.

Listed by First National Real Estate Newcastle CityLot 1: $2,000,000 - $2,200,000
Lot 2: $2,000,000 - $2,200,000
Lot 3: SOLD
A beachside property like no other, 76 Curry Street comprises three lots totalling a whopping 2,331sqm. An elevated corner block and prized north-easterly aspect capturing panoramic views to the beach, ocean and Port Stephens beyond provides an epic backdrop and a gentle reminder that Newcastle is indeed a city by the sea.
Taking pride of place on lot three's 1,250sqm landholding, is a home rich in history and big on space. 'Amaroo', meaning beautiful place, was built in the early 1920s by Edward Merewether, a descendant of E.C Merewether who was the superintendent of the Australian Agricultural Company from 1861, and for whom the suburb is named after. On offer for the first time since 1950, the double brick home's floorplan currently offers an array of living zones and four-bedroom, four-bathroom accommodation. Its character filled interiors are fresh and bright, allowing you to move in while you formulate your ideas for a contemporary renovation.
Lots two and three fronting Rowan Crescent offer a myriad of exciting opportunities. You could choose to add a pool, tennis court, alfresco entertaining haven, or guest house to Amaroo, while property developers will see value in the under-capitalised landholdings to build two new dwellings, (STCA).
This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live the dream in this remarkable location. One of Merewether's prized streets, kids can stroll around the corner to Gibbs Brothers Oval for a run around or weekend sport. It's little more than 850m to Merewether Beach for a morning surf or a few laps in the ocean baths before enjoying breakfast at Blue Door or wander down to the Surfhouse or Beach Hotel for dinner and cocktails with friends. The lifestyle here is hard to beat.
Lot 1 – vacant 523sqm block fronting Rowan Crescent with 22.89m frontage
Lot 2 – vacant 558sqm corner block fronting both Curry Street and Rowan Crescent with 22.91m frontage
Lot 3 – c.1920s home known as Amaroo on 1250sqm block
