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 $499/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.

At the point where Nicholas Street rises steeply towards Denmark Hill is Mona Lodge, a structure that today would be called a duplex, constructed as an investment by Thomas Brew Lyons, an Ipswich watch and clock maker. An immigrant from the Isle of Man, Lyons purchased the land on which he constructed Mona Lodge for £75 in 1858.
Board and residence for ‘one or two gentlemen’ at Mona Lodge first was advertised in April 1863. One of the early occupants was Thomas Given, a fellow Ipswich watch and clock maker. Given had arrived in the colony of Queensland in 1855, establishing a business in Brisbane Street in the following year. During the 1860s, while living at Mona Lodge, he served as an Ipswich alderman.
The notion of gentlemen only occupants appears to have been relaxed when in 1865 Miss Mary Ann Sargent advertised collegiate classes for day pupils at Mona Lodge. The following year she advertised that she would take in six young ladies as boarders, offering ‘all the comforts of home, combined with the advantages of a sound English Education, French, Music, German, Drawing and Dancing’. Classes commenced at the beginning of 1867 but appear to have concluded after April 1867 when she married Thomas Given. The following year Thomas and Mary Ann Given moved to Toowoomba, leaving Given’s mother Martha to reside at Mona Lodge until her death late in 1872.
Mona Lodge again became a school for young girls when Mrs Mary Darnley Morrison leased the building from Thomas Lyons in 1873. Darnley-Morrison was a widow from Glasgow in Scotland who, with her daughter, arrived in Ipswich in the mid-1860s. At various locations, over the next decade, she had conducted classes in dancing and physical culture for young Ipswich ladies.
In 1885, Thomas Lyons subdivided the allotment, constructing at the corner of Court and Nicholas Streets the two-storey residence known today as The Chestnuts. The astute Mary Darnley Morrison purchased both buildings that same year, moving into The Chestnuts and renting out Mona Lodge until 1901. In that year, Mona Lodge was sold to Charolotte Grace, whose late husband William had been licensee of the Caledonian Hotel in the 1880s. Mona Lodge has had a number of owners since that time.
Unusually, Mona Lodge is situated hard on the alignment of Nicolas Street. An extension on the lower elevation has allowed for the introduction of a carport. An addition to the south-eastern corner also has been introduced. Over the past two years, considerable work has been done by its latest owners to present Mona Lodge in its current form. This includes landscaping and the addition of 13 windows rescued from the demolition of a nearby building to enhance the rear extension which had been added in the 1930s.
