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.

Capital growth

QLD

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Zoning is not available (no_adapter). 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (no_adapter). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

What competition will it face?

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.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

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

What this means for this property

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

What is known for this property

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.

0 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Zoning is not available (no_adapter).

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (no_adapter). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material

Listed by Gardian Real Estate

3 Acres, Sheds, Close to Town

If you want lots of vacant land, heaps of high-clearance parking for caravans, boats, trucks and other vehicles and would love a nicely presented home close to town then this one is a must-see.

There is dual access, from the Bruce Highway at the front and Collman's Road at the back, and a big carport and shed to park vehicles undercover as well as plenty more room on the block.

Set on three acres, more than half the block is vacant land that would be ideal for someone who has horses or other animals, kids with motor bikes or to build another dwelling. There is also a dam and gazebo in that part of the block.

Read the full description

The other half of the property includes the house, a high-clearance four-bay carport, a high-clearance three-bay shed, stables, and a terrific chook shed.

And you get all that space and fantastic parking options for vans, boats, trucks and other vehicles while still having the convenience of being just 17km from the CBD.

The property has easy access to the work sites of Paget, the Ooralea shopping centre, the airport, schools in West and South Mackay and the Hay Point and Dalrymple Bay coal terminals.

The house is renovated but an authentic rustic feel has been maintained. Some of the features of the house include:

- Beautifully presented, renovated kitchen with dishwasher

- Sparkling, renovated bathroom

- Three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes

- Another room that could be a home office or sewing room

- Large loungeroom with fireplace and an area set aside as a study space

- Separate dining area that is near the kitchen and leads out to the rear deck

- The rear deck is particularly large and looks out to the vacant land and the nearby trees. It's a great place for a morning cuppa or a cool afternoon drink. There is also a front deck

- Renovated laundry in the downstairs area that also provides lots more undercover space for storage options

The flooring in the house is a mixture of beautiful timber floorboards and modern tiles that are in keeping with the rustic feel of the house.

The roof and guttering are all fairly new and in good condition while the plumbing and electrical wiring have recently been upgraded.

But let's go back outside: Whether you have a business with vehicles, have simply got lots of toys like a caravan, a boat and other vehicles, there is an abundance of parking options.

There is easy access for bigger vehicles along the driveway that runs the full length of the property and provides access from the front and back. The features include:

- Three-bay powered shed with 2.95m clearance at the entrance

- Four-bay powered carport with even higher clearance that also has a lean-to

- Horse stables with two stalls and another room for food and storage

- Self-watering chook shed with eight pens and a feeder

There are also fruit trees that include dragon fruit, mango, orange, mandarin, lemon, ruby grapefruit, lychees and pineapple as well as macadamia and pecan.

The other half of the block is a blank canvas that has potential for a range of uses from horses or other animals, kids to use as they wish, and to potentially add another dwelling among other things.

There is a dam and gazebo there that provides a unique place to get away from it all and take in a different perspective on the property.

It is rare to get a property of this size with the sheds and other features on offer this close to town so don't delay on this one.
