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: Queensland schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Whitsundays'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
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 $684/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.
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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 13.7%. 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. 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.

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?

Listing material
Listed by TAYLORS Property SpecialistsThere are properties… and then there are places that quietly reset your pulse.
Tucked into the lush embrace of Long Island at Palm Bay Resort, this fully furnished beachfront bure is less about square metres and more about state of mind. Positioned just metres from the shoreline, where the sand meets the calm, glassy waters of the bay, this 48m² retreat offers a front-row seat to one of the Whitsundays' most tranquil coastal pockets. Mornings begin with soft sea breezes through the palms, coffee in hand, and not a single notification demanding your attention. Here, the soundtrack is simple water lapping, birds calling, and the occasional clink of ice in a well-earned afternoon cocktail.
Inside, the bure is thoughtfully appointed for relaxed, effortless stays. A comfortable sleeping space, private bathroom and light conveniences create a self-contained haven for guests seeking a break from the everyday. Clean lines, cooling tones and island-inspired simplicity allow the real hero of the surrounding environment to take centre stage. It's the kind of space where shoes are optional and time seems to stretch.
Beyond your front door, the resort unfolds like a curated escape. Days can be spent drifting between the resort pool and jacuzzi, indulging in treatments at the day spa, or enjoying long, lazy lunches at Curlews Restaurant followed by sunset drinks at the bar as the sky performs its nightly show. For the more adventurous, there's snorkelling over fringing coral reefs just offshore, paddleboarding, kayaking, or exploring the surrounding national park tracks, all designed to reconnect you with nature in its purest form.
Accessed via a scenic 30-minute transfer from Shute Harbour after arrival into Whitsunday Coast Airport, this is a destination that deliberately places a gentle barrier between you and the rush of the mainland. It's not just a journey, it's a transition. One that signals it's time to slow down.
For the astute buyer, this is more than a personal escape. It's a proven holiday investment with consistent appeal to travellers seeking an authentic island experience. When you're not enjoying it yourself, the resort's established management ensures seamless guest stays, though buyers should note applicable management costs and infrastructure considerations.
A private slice of the Whitsundays, where income meets indulgence and where every visit feels like you've stepped out of real life and into something far better.
Income for 24/25 financial Year
Gross - $61,049.97
Sub Nett - $31,679.84
Aside from the Management fees and expenses, there is a infrastructure charge of $6,561.50 per quarter payable for the running of the island such as water, septic, supplies for all facilities and electricity which is produced by generator using diesel. Septic waste and most of the water supply is commuted by barge.
Nevertheless, this is an amazing lifestyle opportunity to literally own your personal piece of this paradise and enjoy a fabulous escape for yourself while the bills get paid.
