New Kings Forest land release
STOCKLAND IS launching a new land release at Kings Forest this Saturday, October 25, with registrations of interest already being taken.
The 869-hectare masterplanned community is located two kilometres west of Casuarina Beach, and will ultimately be home to around 11,000 residents across more than 4,000 homes.
The first homeowners are expected to settle and commence construction of their homes later this year.
The community is expected to comprise more than 300 hectares of conservation and rehabilitation areas, and 22 hectares of open space for recreation.
The new land release launches this weekend, with lot sizes ranging from 375 to 600 square metres.
The price of lots for sale from Saturday range from $740,900 for a 375m2 block to $949,900 for a 600 m2 block, with other blocks priced according to size and situation.
Stockland Project Director
Alex Koerber said Kings Forest will play a critical role in boosting the supply of housing in a key lifestyle destination in northern NSW.
“Kings Forest will provide a range of housing options in a location that connects residents with beaches, schools, health facilities and transport, while surrounded by more than 300 hectares of conservation land,” Mr Koerber said.
“Early demand has been strong, with 104 lots already sold to buyers from both New South Wales and Queensland. Local builders, upgraders and young families are among those choosing to call Kings Forest home.
“We look forward to bringing Stockland’s extensive experience in creating awardwinning masterplanned communities to this highly desirable location.”
With works already underway, the project intends to deliver a town centre, schools, childcare, neighbourhood parks and a dedicated sports field, all connected by an extensive network of walking and cycling paths.
Customers can now register their interest at: www. stockland.com.au/residential/ nsw/kings-forest

Investors flooding in
THE LATEST data from PropTrack shows that investors are flooding back into the NSW housing market following this year’s interest rate cuts, with investors accounting for nearly half of all loans, as high rents in the Tweed Shire draw in investors.
The RBA cut rates by 0.25 per cent in February, May and August, bringing the cash rate down from 4.35 per cent to 3.60 per cent. That has given buyers more purchasing power but it is also stimulating the market, pushing up demand and prices.
For instance, Tweed Heads has seen an annual compound growth rate from October last year to September this year, of 28.9 per cent for houses and 6.7 per cent for units.
DJ Stringer owner David Stringer says locally, agents are seeing “a lift of investor enquiry on the back of lower interest rates and ever-increasing rental prices, ignited by lower supply levels.”
Analysts are thinking there will be a Melbourne Cup rate cut, and, with rising unemployment and inflation pretty well under control, that is looking likely.

REA Group economist Angus Moore said rental shortages and rising prices were driving the investor activity.
“Rental market conditions remain very tight, and rents have grown rapidly in recent years. That’s likely encouraging investors to buy in,” he said, adding that rents “were still growing solidly.”
“With markets expecting at least one further rate cut by the Reserve Bank and challenging rental market conditions persisting, strong investor activity is likely to continue over the rest of this year.”
Mr Moore said investing in housing has become much more common with 14.1 per cent of tax filers reporting rental income.
“This is high by global standards. In other countries, corporate and government ownership of housing is more
