<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

Sydney’s property market is known for high prices, competitive bidding, and mounting pressure on first home buyers. But change is on the horizon.

From late 2025, eligible first home buyers in New South Wales will have access to a new federal government initiative aimed at addressing affordability: the Help to Buy Scheme.&nbsp;

<h2>What is the Help to Buy Scheme?</h2>

The program introduces a shared equity model intended to reduce the upfront cost of entering the property market, particularly in high-demand urban areas such as Sydney.

The scheme operates under a shared ownership structure in which the federal government takes an equity stake of up to 40 per cent for new homes, or 30 per cent for existing dwellings. This arrangement allows eligible buyers to significantly reduce their loan size and avoid the added cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

Under this model, purchasers can enter the property market with as little as a two per cent deposit, well below the traditional 10 to 20 per cent usually required. The government’s contribution is not a loan but a co-ownership stake in the property. As such, there is no interest or rent charged on its portion.

Because the government’s equity combined with the buyer’s deposit typically meets or exceeds the 20 per cent threshold, LMI does not apply. The remaining balance, generally between 60 and 70 per cent of the property’s value, is financed through a standard home loan with a participating lender.

The government's equity in the property remains in place until the buyer chooses to repay it voluntarily or until the property is sold. Buyers can buy back the government’s share over time, in increments of at least five per cent, depending on their financial situation.

There is no fixed repayment timeline, but the amount to be repaid will be based on the property's market value at the time of repayment, not the original purchase price.

<h2>How do you qualify for the&nbsp;Help to Buy Scheme?</h2>

To qualify for the Help to Buy Scheme, applicants must meet the following conditions:

<ul>
	<li>Be an Australian citizen at least 18 years of age.</li>
	<li>Be a first-home buyer who does not currently own property.</li>
	<li>Intend to live in the property as their primary residence.</li>
	<li>Earn less than $100,000 per year for individuals, or $160,000 for couples.</li>
	<li>Purchase a property within the regional price caps, currently $950,000 in Sydney, though this is expected to rise to approximately $1.3 million ahead of the program’s launch.</li>
</ul>

While the Help to Buy Scheme does not solve affordability challenges across the board, it does offer a more accessible pathway for a defined segment of the market, particularly younger buyers with moderate incomes who have been priced out of traditional lending routes.

The scheme is expected to commence in NSW in late 2025, as part of a national rollout.

Under the new model, purchasers can enter the property market with as little as a two per cent deposit, well below the traditional 10 to 20 per cent usually required

Help to Buy Scheme: What first home buyers in NSW need to know

The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) is a government initiative designed to help eligible first-time home buyers by offering financial assistance towards the purchase or construction of a new home.

While the FHOG is a nationwide program, it is administered separately by each state and territory, meaning the eligibility criteria, grant amounts, and property requirements can vary depending on your location. This means that the amount available and the conditions attached to the grant will differ, so it is important to check the specific guidelines for your state or territory.

It’s important to note that the FHOG is just one of several incentives available to first home buyers. In most states and territories, the grant is not linked to stamp duty exemptions or concessions, with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The FHOG is typically a one-off payment, reducing the overall cost of purchasing or building a new home before any stamp duty concessions are applied.

Below, we provide a breakdown of the First Home Owner Grants available across Australia, outlining the specific details for each state and territory.

Every First Home Owner Grant for new property by state

In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable architecture and environmentally conscious design, systems and ratings in place can help determine the energy efficiency of residential buildings in Australia.

Australia has multiple building rating systems that evaluate energy efficiency and sustainability in existing and new building designs.

Some systems assess individual building components, while others provide an overall rating for the entire structure.

A rating system ensures that homes are comfortable and energy-efficient, whether you are buying, renovating, or building.

NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) is a common way for new homes to meet energy efficiency requirements.

As new developments continue to shape the urban environment, understanding NatHERS ratings becomes essential for developers and homeowners. This article delves into the concept of NatHERS ratings, their significance, and how they contribute to creating energy-efficient homes.

<h2>What is NatHERS?</h2>

NatHERS is a national initiative implemented by the Australian government to promote energy efficiency in residential buildings. The scheme aims to provide a standardised method for assessing the thermal performance of homes, considering factors such as insulation, orientation, ventilation, and building materials.&nbsp;

NatHERS ratings are the most common way new homes meet the National Construction Code's (NCC's) minimum energy efficiency requirements.&nbsp;

NatHERS assessments provide thermal and whole-home ratings for new homes, townhouses, and apartments.

The rating helps evaluate the energy performance of buildings, guides homeowners and developers to make informed decisions about the energy efficiency of their properties, and encourages the construction of more sustainable, comfortable, and cost-effective homes.

<h2>How NatHERS Ratings Work</h2>

NatHERS ratings are determined through four accredited software tools (AccuRate, BERS Pro, FirstRate5, HERO) using a calculation engine CSIRO developed to predict building temperature based on various factors.

The tools can model complex effects of building mass, insulation, window size, and other elements.

The outcome is a star rating that reflects the building's overall thermal efficiency, indicating how well it can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature without excessive reliance on heating or cooling systems.

The star rating scale ranges from 0 to 10, with a 6-star rating being the minimum requirement for compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC).&nbsp;

Achieving a higher star rating demonstrates a commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability, as the building is better equipped to minimise its environmental impact and reduce long-term energy costs.

Anyone can use NatHERS tools, but accredited assessors can provide certified ratings and professional advice.

<h2>Benefits of Higher NatHERS Ratings</h2>

Energy Efficiency: Buildings with higher NatHERS ratings are more energy-efficient, requiring less heating and cooling energy. This reduces the structure's carbon footprint and lowers occupants' energy bills.

Cost Savings: Homes with higher NatHERS ratings are generally more energy-efficient, resulting in reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling. This translates to lower energy bills for homeowners, making sustainable living environmentally friendly and economically viable in the long run.

Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption directly translates to a reduced environmental impact. Buildings with higher NatHERS ratings contribute to the overall goal of mitigating climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling systems.

Improved Comfort: Buildings with high NatHERS ratings offer better thermal comfort to occupants. Proper insulation, well-designed ventilation, and optimal orientation maintain a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature, providing occupants with a more enjoyable and healthier space.

Market Value and Desirability: Higher NatHERS ratings can enhance the market value of a property. As energy efficiency becomes a more significant consideration for homebuyers, a well-rated building may attract a premium price and stand out in the real estate market.

Compliance with Building Codes: NatHERS ratings are a vital component of the National Construction Code (NCC), and compliance with these ratings is often a mandatory requirement for new developments. Local councils and planning authorities may set minimum energy efficiency standards that must be met to obtain development approval.

The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) is a crucial initiative shaping the future of energy-efficient, resilient, and cost-effective homes. With its recent upgrades, NatHERS has evolved into a world-leading tool for the building sector, supporting the global commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

What is a NatHERS rating in new off the plan apartment developments?

Mixed-use developments have gained significant popularity across Australia in recent years due to their unique blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.

Unlike traditional single-purpose developments, mixed-use projects offer a harmonious integration of various functions within a single locale.

Residential units seamlessly coexist with commercial establishments, retail outlets, dining venues, entertainment hubs, and recreational facilities, with the combination not only enhances convenience but also fosters a vibrant lifestyle and a sense of community.

<h3>Convenience and accessibility</h3>

Mixed-use developments are designed with convenience in mind. They often integrate residential units with commercial spaces, retail outlets, restaurants, and recreational facilities, creating a self-contained community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

The proximity allows residents to enjoy the convenience of having essential amenities and services within walking distance. Whether it's grabbing a cup of coffee, going grocery shopping, or accessing healthcare services, everything is conveniently located, saving residents time and effort.

<h3>Vibrant lifestyle and community</h3>

One of the major advantages of mixed-use developments is the vibrant lifestyle they offer. With a diverse range of amenities and communal spaces, residents have ample opportunities to interact, socialise, and build a sense of community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214122]

The presence of parks, community centres, and shared spaces fosters a lively atmosphere, encouraging residents to engage in various activities and events. The vibrant lifestyle within these developments creates a unique sense of belonging and camaraderie among the residents.

<h3>Potential for higher rental yields and property value appreciation</h3>

Mixed-use developments tend to attract a broad range of tenants and buyers due to their versatile nature. This high demand can result in higher rental yields for investors and potentially lead to property value appreciation over time.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212887]

The integration of commercial and retail spaces attracts businesses, which can provide a stable rental income stream. Additionally, the popularity of mixed-use developments often drives up property values, making them a potentially lucrative investment in the long term.

<h3>Enhanced security and maintenance</h3>

Mixed-use developments typically have comprehensive security measures in place. With controlled access points, CCTV surveillance, and professional security staff, residents can enjoy enhanced safety and peace of mind.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212658]

Additionally, these developments often have dedicated maintenance teams responsible for the upkeep of common areas, landscaping, and infrastructure. This ensures that the overall appearance and functionality of the development are well-maintained, creating a pleasant living environment for residents.

<h3>Live-work-play balance</h3>

One of the key attractions of mixed-use developments is the ability to achieve a desirable live-work-play balance. The integration of residential and commercial spaces allows residents to live closer to their workplaces, reducing commuting time and improving work-life balance.

The proximity to various amenities and recreational facilities encourages an active and healthy lifestyle. Residents can easily access fitness centres, parks, restaurants, and entertainment options, all within the same development, leading to a more fulfilling and convenient way of life.

The top five reasons to buy in a mixed-use development

When buying a property, everyone needs to be aware of the additional costs that come as part of the buying process.

Often the largest outlay, after the deposit which goes to the bank, is stamp duty.

<h2 style="line-height: 1.38;">What is Stamp Duty?</h2>

Stamp duty is an extra tax to pay the government when you buy land, a property, and other certain assets.

It happens when the legal ownership is transferred. It can also be known as property transfer duty or transfer duty.

<h2>Who pays Stamp Duty?</h2>

In some circumstances, you may get an exemption. For some states, you won’t have to pay for stamp duty if you are a first home buyer or a pensioner for houses under a particular price. There are also stamp duty concessions, where you may be entitled to a discount.

<h2>How much does Stamp Duty cost?</h2>

Each state has different rules which affect how much you need to pay. These rules can affect the rate you pay, and the timeframe you will need to pay in. Before you buy land or a property, make sure you check the up-to-date information for your state’s stamp duty.

You can use a free stamp duty calculator online to see approximately how much you’ll need to pay. Find out if you’re eligible for an exemption by enquiring on a project via Urban!

Overall, the stamp duty you need to pay will depend on:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1">How much your land/property is worth</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Where your land/property is located</li>
	<li aria-level="1">What type of land/property it is</li>
</ul>

The Palm Beach retreat of the bankrupted Tony Morris, the former GP Noble entrepreneur acquitted recently in a UK trial over fraud allegations, has been relisted for sale.
Morris had been charged with stealing from GP Noble and its pension funds  and was extradited from Sydney to face the charges.
<img src="/images/stories/aman.jpg">
He left behind his former wife, Vanessa, in their $7.45 million <a target="_blank" href="/news">Palm Beach</a> clifftop property they named Aman.
There was a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/new-south-wales/mrs-morris-stops-palm-beach-clifftop-sale-of-ex-gp-noble-boss-tony-morris-former-australian-home/2012051154666">rejected application last May to the Australian Federal Magistrates Court by Morris’s bankruptcy trustee Andrew Wily to sell it</a> – for reputedly about $4.6 million.
But Magistrate Rolf Driver ruled against Wily’s application, which required Vanessa’s refused consent to any sale of the northern beaches clifftop house.
It had been passed in on a $5 million vendor bid at its March Raine &amp; Horne auction and has now been set for sale through LJ Hooker Palm Beach with offers due November 29.
LJ Hooker Palm Beach has advised <a target="_blank" href="https://palmbeach.ljhooker.com.au/2HYF6Z">319 Whale Beach Road</a> is currently being marketed for Vanessa Morris with a price guide of over $5 million. Valuations for the property mentioned in the court in October 2011 ranged from $6.2 million to $6.5 million, hence the hesitation to accept the highest $4.6 million offer, which didn't cover the bank debt.</body></html>

Mirvac sold out its popular terraces home offerings in Eden, in its latest release at Harold Park, Glebe, just hours after launching sales to customers at the weekend.
<img src="/images/stories/2012/11/eden.jpg">
More than $66.5 million worth of real estate was transacted in the weekend launch, in which the majority of the second marketing stage dwellings sold.
Prices ranged from $499,000 for a one-bedroom open-plan apartment to over $1.8 million for a three-bedroom terrace.
Harold Park's Victorian terrace homes were completely sold within hours of their release.
Eden's public launch will be this Saturday (November 17).
"There has been an extraordinary level of interest in Eden, which we anticipated given its premium location on the parkland," said John Carfi, Mirvac's development apartments chief.
"To have sold out of terraces with an average price of over $1.7 million in a single day is remarkable and characterises the exceptional attributes of Harold Park."
Since the November 2011 launch of the first precinct, Locarno, more than 300 apartments and terraces have sold at Harold Park.
It is just with the past year that Harold Park has gained development approval from the City of Sydney for its master-plan of 1,250 dwellings.  
<img src="/images/stories/2012/11/eden3.jpg">
In September site wide infrastructure works commenced with construction of the first stage Locarno underway.
Carfi says the strong pre-sales of Eden could allow both buildings to be constructed simultaneously.
Eden is named after the 1971 Miracle Mile winner Mount Eden, which sprinted to a remarkable finish after two false starts!

The southern hemisphere's tallest hotel/apartment building – with its mooted mammoth 388-metre skyscraper high above Melbourne's Yarra River – is actually a development site that's up for sale. Its a tad premature to suggest the touted 108-storey development will radically alter the city skyline.
The 2,642-square-metre site has been for sale since July through <a target="_blank" href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-vic-southbank-500322779">CBRE agents Mark Wizel and Josh Rutman</a>.
<img src="/images/stories/2012/11/australia108.jpg">
The site is set on the corner of City Road and Southbank Boulevard, and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) gave approval for a 72-storey, 226-metre, 532-unit skyscraper in September 2010 after a battle with Melbourne City Council.
Designs for the huge Australia 108 are being reportedly finalised and, if approved, will feature 600 apartments, the nation's highest hotel and restaurants seemingly floating 84 stories above the city.
The 108-storey tower, which will be the 18th-tallest building in the world, is planned to rise near the 297-metre Eureka Tower, with 91 storeys.
Architects Fender Katsalidis, who also built Eureka, gained planning approval for a 228 metre apartment building on the 70 Southbank Boulevard site in 2010, despite objections from Melbourne City Council that it was "excessive in both height and bulk".
But architect Nonda Katsalidis has super-sized his plans, by adding a 288-room hotel and sky deck on top, saying the economy has strengthened and Melbourne is more confident and ready for an iconic centrepiece.
<img src="/images/stories/2012/11/australia1081.jpg">
"Buildings like this change cities, they make the city more dynamic, more interesting, more exciting," he told the News Ltd papers today.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=97223192">skyscrapercity.com website </a>shows both visions for the development site.
One of Australia 108's most striking features will be a two-storey sky lobby, which is set to house two restaurants and two bars, extending nine metres out of the building, 84-storeys above Melbourne. The hotel check-in and swimming pool will also appear to hang over the city, with sections of glass floor enabling visitors to see all the way to the ground in a much larger version of Eureka's Sky Deck. Although the skyscraper is intended to dominate Melbourne's skyline, Katsalidis says it would form a pair with Eureka. The site was listed with a $25 million price tag via an international public expressions of interest campaign closing in August.
In July Property Observer<a target="_blank" href="/news"> reported the site was listed by Katsalidis and property developer Adrian Valmorbida </a>from the Valmorbida family, who had decided to go in different directions.
The site is the former head office of international explosives and fertilising giant Incitec Pivot and is currently in use as office accommodation.
Although in its preliminary design stage, and will be subjected to a fresh planning application process, Victorian Planning Minister Matthew Guy has already commented that such a project being proposed underlined the confidence in Melbourne. "Australia is coming of age and our cities are growing upwards," Guy says. "Taller buildings ... are a symbol of a growing nation, a strong economy, and they do have the ability to define a city," he told News Ltd.

The former Victorian rural beef cattle retreat of actor Mel Gibson has been listed for sale.
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2012/11/nov12gibson]}
Springbank, a 390-hectare farm in the Kiewa Valley near Albury/Wodonga with views of the Australian Alps, was bought by Mel Gibson in the late 1980s as a retreat to run Angus cattle.
A four-title holding was sold  in 2004 by Gibson for $1.825 million to the current vendor, Albert Park racehorse owner David Trevethan and wife, Christine, who have $5.5 million-plus hopes for the <a target="_blank" href="/news">Gundowring </a>farm.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/1651-gundowring-road-gundowring/Property-Details-buy-residential-4528987">It's been marketed</a> as recreated since it was Mad Max's playground, with the original homestead replaced by a four-bedroom, four-bathroom homestead with designer kitchen, library, formal lounge and dining rooms, and a glass-roofed conservatory. The 620-square-metre stone home was designed by Peter Barton and features ironbark hardwood floors, rosewood doors, and wide, grey box verandas.
The barn has been converted into an entertainment area with open fireplace and a bar, as well as self-contained accommodation with a bedroom with ensuite.
The property, which has been used to run cattle and train horses, also offers cattle yards, machinery sheds, paddocks and 17 dams.
Offers are due with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.prh.com.au/pol/property/search.asp?f_propertyID=1943355&amp;xsl=2146&amp;f_st=1&amp;f_ct=1,3&amp;f_ps=2">Peter Hawkins of Pat Rice &amp; Hawkins </a>by November 23.
Last year a 60-hectare holding sold by Gibson to Trevethan was listed for sale with a $750,000 asking price.
Involved in the racing industry as an<a target="_blank" href="https://springbankthoroughbredagistment.com.au/testimonials"> owner and breeder </a>for almost 40 years, David Trevethan's notable success came from part ownership of Better Loosen Up, who went on to win the Cox Plate and the Japan Cup.
At one staged Gibson owned two ranches Beartooth Ranch near Columbus, Montana, and his home ranch in Victoria. 
The two beef operations, which comprised Beartooth International, shared a common seedstock genetic base as well as marketing strategies.
The 20,000- acre (8,094-hectare) Montana ranch, named after the Beartooth Mountain range bordering it on the west, ran 1,200 cows.
“I preferred the natural existence and open space of a ranch over claustrophobic city life,” Gibson once said, so he went looking for something that would "soothe me between making films".

<hr class="system-pagebreak">
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2012/11/nov12springbankinside]}
After he and his family found the perfect remedy in north-east Victoria, Gibson realised that the land was no good unless he put something on it.
He soon put together a small commercial beef herd.
“Basically, I started from scratch,” Gibson told The Angus Journal in 1991.
“I ended up with everyone else’s culled cows and made lots of mistakes during those first few years.”
Gibson tended the cow herd, dug post holes, built fences and drove a tractor but all the time struggled to make it work.
Then one day a neighbour’s bull got through a downed fence and visited Gibson’s cow herd, and the next spring Gibson discovered a couple of nice calves on the ground that he knew weren’t sired by his “average” bull.
His neighboring cattleman advised that his bull’s genetics traced back to the United States and a property called Beartooth Ranch, which at that time raised Polled Herefords.
Then in 1988, while making a film in the United States, he went to Montana to see Beartooth Ranch firsthand.
Gibson, his then wife, Robyn, and their six children lived in the Kiewa Valley during the late 1980s, and he became a well-liked identity in the Tangambalanga area.
For much of its ownership the property was home to his father, Hutton Gibson, who lived a mud brick home on the holding that Mel Gibson bought for $237,500.
Beartooth in Montana was sold in 2005 to the neighbours.

The Darling Point apartment of Gough Whitlam, Australia's 21st prime minister, and his late wife, Margaret, has been sold.
The three-bedroom apartment in the Marathon Place complex sold for $1.35 million 10 days before its scheduled auction through McGrath agents Ben Collier and Bernadette Berlyn.
The second-floor late 1960s Marathon Road apartment had been the Whitlams' home since December 1975. It had cost $65,000 when bought in July 1975 from the Peken pastoralist family from Nocoleche Station, <a href="/news">Wanaaring</a>, who had first sought to offload it at a November 1974 auction.
The Pekens had paid $65,000 15 months earlier, shortly before Australia entered into recession when growth contracted by 1.2% in the year to the December quarter of 1974 and continued into the March quarter 1975, when it contracted by 1.1% through the year.
The Facer Watts agency had marketed the <a href="/news">Darling Point</a> block's 10 three-bedroom units, with Frank O'Neil-designed swimming pool,with prices starting from $39,500 in late 1968.
With views across Double Bay <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/news/former-prime-minister-gough-whitlam-lists-his-darling-point-sydney-apartment/2012102457398">around $1.2 million </a>had been expected for the 104 square metre apartment. Gough Whitlam secured 8.46% annual price appreciation.
The Whitlams moved there from The Lodge in Canberra after Gough's government was dismissed by the Governor-General Sir John Kerr on November 11, 1975.
The former prime minister now resides at Lulworth, the St Luke's aged care facility in<a href="/news"> Elizabeth Bay</a>.
Margaret Whitlam died in March.
"They dearly loved the apartment and enjoyed their time living there,'' McGrath agent Ben Collier told the local paper.
"Aside from its lovely views, the apartment is private and close to all the cafes and village life of Double Bay – an area they loved.''

The Vaucluse harbourfront reserve home of Prudence MacLeod, the oldest child of Rupert Murdoch, and her husband, Alasdair, has been reportedly sold.
The quaint Carrara Road property sold quietly last week through McGrath Estate Agents for about $13.25 million in an off-market deal.
The three-storey residence, which sits on a 1,060 square metre holding, last traded in 2002 for $7.5 million. Its price growth over the decade reflected a mild 5.6% annual growth rate. Its growth in the immediately prior five-year sales period had reflected 10.6% annual growth.
Prudence MacLeod's mother, Patricia, was Rupert Murdoch's first wife, whose marriage to him ran from 1956 to 1966.
Another <a target="_blank" href="/news">Vaucluse </a>sale was secured for the <a target="_blank" href="/news">more glamorous offering </a>of the globetrotting interior designer Serena Crawford and her husband, Murray, whose Hopetoun Avenue residence sold through Alison Coopes for about $5.5 million.
The architect Bruce Stafford remodelled the three-level house after it cost $4.29 million in 2009.

The 200-hectare Scenic Hills equestrian property Sweeney’s at Scenic Hills, which is also a wedding and function centre, has been listed for sale.
CBRE agents Frank Oliveri and Peter Vines have been appointed to market the property located at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sweeneys.com.au/">Lot 1 Campbelltown Road, Denham Court.</a>
<img src="/images/stories/2012/11/sweeneys.jpg">
It dates back to when Patrick and Cynthia Sweeney purchased the property in 1955 and built their home and raised four children.
It was originally a dairy farm, and the Sweeney family opened the riding ranch in 1959.
The Sweeney’s Wedding and Function Centre was built as a dream of Patrick’s after he died.
Cynthia still lives on the property and is known as the matriarch of Scenic Hills.
 Scenic Hills riding ranch closed its doors to the public in late 2010 after 51 years.
“We have been staunch servants of the local community, but our business has continued to lose money hand over fist,” Cynthia told The Macarthur Chronicle in 2010 when the ranch closed operations.
“Firstly the drought, then equine influenza and more recently the government charging rates and land tax at a rate of $320,000 per annum have killed our business.”
The property comprises of a function centre, an outdoor theatre, shed, stables and outbuildings.
 Scenic Hills Riding Ranch is 47 kilometres from the Sydney CBD.
“This property offers an exceptionally rare opportunity for owner-occupier or speculator groups to secure an enormous land holding with great proximity to the Sydney, Liverpool and Campbelltown CBD,” says CBRE’s Peter Vines who is acting under receivers' instructions.
Offers are due November 22.

A zoo outside of Cairns has been listed for sale with the option of buying all the animals.
The vendor of Shambala Animal Kingdom, former Sydney lawyer Elaine Harrison, bought the 54-hectare zoo in March this year but was unable to turn a profit from the zoo, which has been mired with problems over its eight-year history.
The freehold property was bought for $1.09 million earlier this year.
It was opened in 2004 as the Mareeba Wild Animal Park after numerous problems surrounding its finance and construction.
Less than a month later the zoo was closed with $3 million of debt, and founder David Gill, was charged. A cheetah and a lemur had escaped from their enclosures and others had died.
Over the next two years the zoo remained in administration, over which time nine lions escaped from their cages.
It was then bought by former Glencorp director Udo Jattke, who invested $100,000 upgrading the facility and reopened the business as Cairns Wildlife Safari Reserve. But the business continued to lose money with staff often waiting to be paid.
Harrison says the property would suit someone up for a challenge.
"For someone to come in with a good marketing budget and marketing savvy, this place could be second to none in Australasia," Harrison told News Limited.
"It is an amazing facility, it is a beautiful park with the most phenomenal animals. To get up close and personal with them is like nothing else in my life I will ever experience again.
"It has been the best and worst year of my life.
"My concern has always been for the animals."
Harrison is citing health and family issues for selling the property.
She says buyers will have the option of buying all the animals with the zoo in one line. These include 24 lions (the largest pride in Australia) and a variety of tigers, hippos, cheetahs, rhinos, gibbons, lemurs and monkeys.
If investors chose not to buy the animals Harrison says she has lined up spots in international breeding and conservation organisations.
If it is not sold as a zoo it will go to auction as two vacant parcels. There is a development application before Tablelands Regional Council for a 30-person luxury lodge and for 18 cabins.
The property is on two titles, one of 38.15 hectares and one of 15.01 hectares.
The zoo, in <a target="_blank" href="/news">Koah</a>, goes to auction on December 15. It is being sold by Callum Jones from McGrath Port Douglas. 
"The seller's overriding concern is for the parks resident animals. Should a buyer not be found immediately who shows the skills, desire and care to be able to continue the operations as they are now then the animals will be relocated to overseas reserves and the property will be sold as is where is as land and improvements," Jones says. 
Pictures on the listing show the animals with speech bubbles expressing their apparent desire to not be sent to other zoos.

Home building approvals in Queensland mining towns continue to outperform other areas of the state, according to HIA data.
The coal mining region of <a target="_blank" href="/news">Mackay </a>had the biggest increase in home building improvements in all of Queensland. There were 754 building approvals in the three months to September 2012, compared with 350 in the three months to September 2011, an increase of 115%.
<a target="_blank" href="/news">Toowoomba </a>was close behind with an increase of 53% from 154 approvals to 235. <a target="_blank" href="/news">Townsville </a>was next, with a 42% increase, followed by Gladstone-<a target="_blank" href="/news">Biloela</a> and Hervey Bay at 32%.
The Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast experienced the biggest decreases in home building approvals, dropping 28% and 29% respectively. Greater <a target="_blank" href="/news">Brisbane </a>and <a target="_blank" href="/news">Cairns </a>were next lowest at 19% and 16% respectively.
HIA director Warwick Temby says there is a clear connection between resource development and home building activity.
“Central Queensland and the Toowoomba regions have experienced double digit growth in home building over the last 12 months. This is overwhelmingly positive news for an industry that has struggled to climb out of a GFC-induced recession,” Temby says.
“But to have big impacts on employment in the industry the growth that has been seen in the resource areas needs to take hold elsewhere in the state.
“The budget’s $15,000 for first-home buyers who are building has increased inquiry for new homes and it is expected that this will flow through into orders in the coming months.
“HIA is forecasting that combined with lower interest rates this boost for first-home buyers will underpin a broad-based lift in home building across Queensland in 2013.”

In a strategic simultaneous decision the Saturday metropolitan Domain print supplements from both Sydney and Melbourne will also be included within The Australian Financial Review on Fridays from next year.
<img src="/images/stories/2012/11/domainchange.jpg">
By adding Saturday Domain to the AFR, Fairfax aims to capture the corporate market. It also suggests it will give "buyers a jump start on the weekend's inspections".
Saturday Domain run-ons of the printed edition will be distributed free to metropolitan cafes, transport hubs and real estate agencies.
Estate agents have been told property editorial content will endeavour to increase the "synergy" between its Sydney and Melbourne editions.
