The star of South East Queensland growth remains the Gold Coast. The city is now the fastest-growing region in Australia, with a rapidly increasing population and a shortage of housing.

Its northern growth corridor is proving a boon for residential property investors.

Brisbane was ranked as the most attractive place to buy by 50 per cent of respondents, due to affordability and the potential for attractive yields.

The Gold Coast’s low tenancy rates, tourism revival, infrastructure and development, and low interest rates make the city an attractive place to buy.

The $1.6 billion Stage 1 of Gold Coast Light Rail, linking Griffith University and the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct to Broadbeach via Southport, commenced service in 2014.

The $420 million Stage 2 of the system will connect Southport to the heavy rail at the Helensvale Station, and will provide an immediate boost to the construction industry, supporting up to 1,000 new construction jobs.

On a cultural front, the $365 million Gold Coast Cultural Precinct will be launched in 2018, bringing the community together to engage with arts and culture, and supporting the city’s broader cultural economy and creative industries. It will also provide new employment and business opportunities.

Other projects include the $6.8 million Gold Coast Chinatown, an integral part of the development of the Southport CBD as a thriving, multicultural city scene.

The city’s north is set for a $1 billion boom with the Coomera Town Centre project. After a decade in the pipeline, works have begun, which is sparking sales of land surrounding the precinct.

Stage 1 of the development will include a major shopping precinct, activity centres and transit hub. The project is expected to create 1,200 jobs during construction and 1,600 jobs once the centre is open.

Developer Westfield recently filed an application to expand stage one to include cinemas, office space and a nightclub, boosting the first stage from 55,000sq to 61,000sq.

The expansion of stage one could potentially create an additional 100 jobs.

The $390 million Gold Coast International Marine Precinct will also be a boon for the Gold Coast and a key pillar in the city’s economy.

The Northern Gold Coast will also see the introduction of a brand new hotel - the Coomera Garden Hotel Gold Coast.

The new hotel features residential apartments and commercial spaces, and the sales office is now open for enquiry.

In 2018, the Gold Coast will host one of the largest elite multi-sport events in the world, providing unprecedented international exposure and commensurate business, trade and investment opportunities.

More than $13.5 billion in major infrastructure projects are currently planned or underway, with more than $6 billion of actual building in progress, including mega projects like Jewel, the Pacific Fair upgrade, the Coomera Town Centre and the four-tower Ruby project.

Approximately $200 million in new world-class sporting infrastructure is being constructed in readiness for the 2018 event, including the Athletes Village, Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, Coomera Sports and Leisure Centre and the development of the Carrara Sports Precinct.

LOGAN is projected to inject $1 billion in the economy over the next 10 years.

It is one of Queensland’s premier industrial addresses and is set to be a market leader in terms of innovative industrial development and will facilitate long-term employment. The YEA has enough capacity to sustain development until 2046.

By 2031, Logan’s population is expected to top 473,000 and the Logan City Council has a Priority Infrastructure Plan in place to help manage the city’s growth in terms of housing and employment.

Council has pledged to create at least 53,000 jobs to support the population growth.

Logan is ideally positioned in the centre of one of South East Queensland’s highest growth employment hubs. With booming industrial development at its core, Queensland’s capital to the north and the bustling Gold Coast to the south, Logan’s job market is expected to grow significantly over the next few years.

Logan, a thriving city situated between Brisbane to the north and Gold Coast to the south.

The $9 million Beenleigh Town Centre project is one of the city’s major redevelopments and will deliver on Logan City Council’s vision for the area’s central business district.

The project will provide business and employment opportunities, and catalyse development and small business investment.

Logan’s property market is expected to be a hotbed of activity during the next decade due to its proximity to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, offering multi-sector employment opportunities and a beach lifestyle on weekends.

Its bushland setting, established retail infrastructure, proximity to the Logan River and easy access to Brisbane and the Gold Coast make it an attractive prospect for buyers.

The Logan area is about to embark on a major growth phase due to land availability. Median rental yields are showing market momentum, with 6.3 per cent returns for houses.

High-level growth is a result of affordable properties with above-average rental yields, widespread transport links, a diverse mix of industries providing employment and a growing economy.

A combination of affordable property prices, a solid pipeline of development and infrastructure, and proximity to job hubs is making Logan an ideal choice.

The city is a major economic destination with key industries including manufacturing, retail, business and community services, the property sector, construction and agricultural industries.

Over the next 20 years Logan will continue to be one of the fastest-growing cities in Queensland. Given its central geographic location and available young workforce, Logan is ideally place for continued growth in the southeast Queensland region.

Love it.

I live here

Love it. I live here

Mackay is home to a diverse and vibrant community with rural and coastal living opportunities. The area is known for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear ocean waters – a premier tourist destination for Australians and international visitors alike.

June 18, 2014 - 47 Reviews

OW In a recent article in the Property Observer heN said, “There is S and rents now genuine hope of vacancy rates coming down and prices rising again.”

With a third Queensland coal mine announcing its intention to restart production due to demand out of China, the price of coal has been pushed above $US220 a tonne.

The boom in coal prices across the board could add 2 per cent to the national income this year, boosting Federal Budget revenues by close to $7 billion and will start wages growing again.

Just over an hour’s flight from Brisbane, the Mackay region boasts an enviable lifestyle and a buoyant economy, with the benefits of a fast-growing coastal city, complemented by its spectacular natural environment

The Queensland Government’s State Infrastructure Plan will also help deliver jobs far beyond the mining boom, giving the private sector the confidence to invest in the people, plant and equipment in Mackay.

The Mackay Regional Local Government Area is one of the fastest growing in Queensland, with a population of over 120,000.

REIQ zone chairman for Mackay, Peter McFarlane, said the local property market was well on the way to recovery.

Growth is fuelled by a resurgence in agribusiness and growth in construction, logistics, tourism and the resources sector.

Demand for Mackay is partly driven by the region’s growing population, which has grown 2.3 per cent per annum over the past five years and is forecast to continue growing by 2.2 per cent, making it one of the fastest-growing areas of Australia.

Several new developments have recently been approved under the Facilitating Development in Mackay Regional Policy, including a proposed new high-rise development in the city centre, a major transit centre along the Bruce Highway and a new RIMEX Wheel warehouse.

The Australian Government and Queensland Government have committed $8.5 billion to a ten-year Bruce Highway Upgrade Program, which will dramatically impact the greater Mackay region, stimulating jobs and investment.
