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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Nimbin's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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 $532/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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 1.5%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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 Nimbin Hills Real EstatePositioned in the centre of one of Australia’s most culturally distinctive and highly visited destinations, 80 Cullen Street, Nimbin presents a rare opportunity to secure a true landmark property in the Northern Rivers region.
Set on a substantial 1,432m² block, the renowned “Oasis” building is a freestanding, two-storey commercial/residential asset with a commanding main street presence directly adjoining the town’s primary carpark. This strategic location ensures constant foot traffic from both locals and the steady stream of national and international visitors drawn to Nimbin’s unique heritage and alternative lifestyle culture.
Nimbin rose to prominence following the 1973 Aquarius Festival, evolving into a globally recognised hub of creativity, sustainability, and community living. Today, it remains one of New South Wales’ most visited inland destinations, attracting tourists travelling between Byron Bay and the spectacular hinterland. The property itself has a long-standing reputation as a central meeting place within thevillage. With over 20 years of near 100% occupancy across both retail and residential tenancies, it offers a proven and reliable income stream. The building comprises 10 rentable spaces, including residential accommodation on the upper level. Recently refurbished and with secure leases in place, this is a turnkey investment with immediate returns. At street level, the asset is anchored by three highly active and well-supported retail tenancies:
Shokudo Japanese Restaurant & Takeaway – a standout feature of the property and rapidly building a reputation as one of the Northern Rivers’ premier dining destinations. Its popularity draws consistent local patronage and tourist traffic, significantly enhancing the overall value and appeal of the asset.
Nimbin Café / Starbuds Coffee – a well-established café serving as a daily hub for locals and visitors alike.
The Hemp Club – a growing retail presence focused on hemp-based wellness, clothing, and lifestyle products, aligned with Nimbin’s ethos. The building, originally constructed circa 1920s, retains its charm while benefiting from thoughtful upgrades over time. Key features include a rare side driveway providing rear access, generous street setback allowing for covered outdoor seating, and flexible commercial spaces designed to accommodate hospitality and retail uses. A major value-add component lies at the rear of the property. The site includes a large converted lock-up shed with dual commercial spaces, along with expansive garden areas featuring established rainforest trees. Importantly, the property comes with an existing Development Approval (DA) for additional accommodation—a highly valuable asset given current council restrictions, with no further approvals of this nature expected. While the DA would require an amendment, it will not expire, presenting a unique opportunity to expand into motel-style or boutique accommodation in a market where supply is extremely limited.
With Nimbin’s strong tourism draw and accommodation shortage, this offers significant upside potential for investors looking to capitalise on both commercial and hospitality sectors.
Whether maintained as a high-performing multi-tenancy investment or developed further under the existing DA, this property delivers on all fronts: location, income, and future growth potential. Offered at $1,800,000 For further information, including financials and documentation, contact:
