<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Following the successful delivery of premium residential developments throughout Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bronze-on-chevron-8-mawarra-street-chevron-island-qld-4217">Bronze on Chevron</a> represents Gardner Vaughan Group's entry into the Gold Coast market. Bronze will deliver 119 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments above two ground-level retail tenancies.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=367193]

The recent sod turning ceremony was attended by Deputy Mayor Mark Hammel, President of the Surfers Paradise Surf Life Saving Club, Cassandra Sedgman, project consultants, purchasers, project partners and invited guests to celebrate the commencement of construction.&nbsp;

Gardner Vaughan Group Chief Executive Officer Simon Betteridge said Bronze on Chevron represented an exciting new chapter for the business.&nbsp;

"We've spent almost four decades building homes that respond to the way people want to live, and we're excited to bring that experience to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>," Betteridge said.

"Bronze on Chevron is particularly significant because it marks Gardner Vaughan Group's first development on the Gold Coast following many successful projects across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast."

Weeks after unveiling a 63-apartment proposal for Mosman, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/first-quadrant-properties">First Quadrant Properties</a> is back with another North Shore apartment building, this time in Neutral Bay.

The developer has lodge plans for an eight-storey apartment building directly alongside Forsyth Park. The State Significant Development Application proposes 28 apartments on a 1,434 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-forsyth-3-5-yeo-street-neutral-bay-nsw-2089">3-5 Yeo Street</a>, positioning the new building to capture views across the greenery toward Sydney Harbour, the CBD and North Sydney skyline.

The project would replace the existing 12-unit apartment building at 3 Yeo Street and neighbouring house at 5 Yeo Street, known as Highmoor.

Designed by Neutral Bay-based <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/corben-architects">Corben Architects</a>, the new building will offer one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Six apartments will form the affordable housing component.

<img alt="First look: First Quadrant plans park-fronting Neutral Bay apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8007d59-38b5-4d90-9fdc-a627ae36c137" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Yeo%20st%20da%201.png?VersionId=ukdS62_2fs6Dj.P7AEZwxQzFoODJ_4tw" />

Corben Architects has designed the building around the site's steep fall from Yeo Street down toward Forsyth Park, stepping the lowest apartments partly below street level and orienting upper floors to capture views south to the Sydney CBD and west to the North Sydney skyline.&nbsp;

The facade is articulated with cantilevered, curved rendered balconies and glazed balustrades, broken up by vertical elements marking the stair and lift cores, while sliding metal batten screens add privacy and solar control to the east and west elevations.&nbsp;

The top-floor penthouse will be clad in bronze-coloured metal, designed to read as recessive against the lighter balcony forms below.

The site adjoins Forsyth Park, a listed landscape heritage item, though a heritage impact assessment by Weir Phillips Heritage concluded the new building would not affect the park's underlying landform, bushland or recreational function, describing it instead as reading as part of the established urban edge already framing the park.

Located 295 metres from the Neutral Bay Town Centre, the site falls within the inner catchment of the Low and Mid Rise Housing policy, an area the NSW Government has targeted for increased density near shops and transport.

This planning pathway reflects the same strategy First Quadrant has recently pursued elsewhere on the Lower North Shore.

The developer last month unveiled plans for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-another-major-apartment-proposal-signals-mosmans-development-boom">63-apartment development across nine properties at 40-56 Ourimbah Road in Mosman</a>. Designed by Doroch Architects, that proposal comprises a part eight, part nine-storey building with a gym, pool and sauna, landscaped communal areas and basement parking. First Quadrant has also recently completed Willoughby Grounds and has several other projects in planning across Sydney's North Shore.

Longstanding Gold Coast and Canberra developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/morris-property-group">Morris Property Group</a> is continuing to roll on with its Glitter Strip apartment pipeline, seeking to return to Mermaid Beach with a new 68-apartment development.

Morris, founded by Barry Morris in 1978 and one of the Gold Coast’s most prolific apartment developers over the past two decades, has filed plans for a 12-storey mixed-use building at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/36-seabeach-avenue-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">34-36 Seabeach Avenue</a>, on the prized eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway.

The 1,227 sqm site occupies a prominent corner position at Seabeach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway, opposite the Mermaid Plaza retail and office precinct and around 140 metres walking distance from the future Mermaid Beach South light rail station.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fraser-partners-0">Fraser &amp; Partners</a> has designed the project, which will comprise 68 apartments across a mix of 48 two-bedroom and 20 three-bedroom residences.

The building will rise 12 storeys, reaching a maximum height of 36 metres, with the apartments accounting for a total of 156 bedrooms. The development application also seeks approval for short-term accommodation across the 68 apartments, while two office tenancies are proposed at ground level.

The plans show 108 car spaces across the development, with parking accommodated at ground level and within a three-level basement accessed from Seabeach Avenue.

<img alt="Seabeach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c2175c99-12fd-4a3c-9be1-89bbf258a90d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-20%20at%202.59.41%E2%80%AFPM_0.png?VersionId=iNLzWcE6gaAE76rafhEXfHve.4g4Se0p" />

Resident amenity will be concentrated on level two, where Fraser &amp; Partners has designed a recreation deck with a swimming pool, 90 sqm pool terrace, outdoor barbecue area and gym.

The broader communal offering will also incorporate landscaped spaces, with the planning documents noting the amenity has been designed to provide areas for recreation, social interaction and outdoor living.

The proposal would continue the transformation of the Gold Coast Highway corridor through Mermaid Beach ahead of the arrival of the light rail.

The site is zoned Neighbourhood Centre and sits within the Mermaid Beach/Broadbeach Light Rail Corridor neighbourhood plan. While the prescribed building height is 24 metres, the site is identified within an Urban Neighbourhood context providing for a 50 per cent height uplift to 36 metres.

Planning documents describe the stretch of the Gold Coast Highway between Broadbeach and Nobby Beach as increasingly characterised by medium and high-rise development, with the proposed Morris tower joining projects including Ventura, The Alfred, Oceans and Otto.

<img alt="Seabeach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="911f193f-e381-4a55-be08-58be87fcf978" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-20%20at%202.59.48%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=oxVvLJaY.SOXEdXrIcogfyEXDfvCmmpM" />

The development would mark Morris Property Group's latest investment in Mermaid Beach, where it has already delivered two apartment projects.

Otto, at 1 Bondi Avenue on the western side of the Gold Coast Highway, comprises 70 apartments across nine storeys. The project was completed in 2019 and includes a residents' gym, recreation deck and swimming pool.

Morris also developed Oceans at 46 Ocean Street, a nine-storey, 70-apartment build-to-rent development completed in 2019. Oceans was the group's first build-to-rent project and incorporates commercial space at ground level.

The two existing Morris projects sit further north along the same Gold Coast Highway corridor as the proposed Seabeach Avenue development. Fraser &amp; Partners' planning analysis specifically identifies both Otto and Oceans among the established built-form precedents surrounding the site.

<img alt="Seabeach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14925119-7b71-4812-8149-340317512c7c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-20%20at%203.00.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=aEJqYuw_nTCjcin17BSD0piB1EFotTlj" />

Mermaid Beach represents only part of Morris' considerable Gold Coast footprint.

The family-owned developer has been particularly active in neighbouring Broadbeach, delivering projects including Sierra Grand, Eclipse, Synergy, Qube, Koko, Opus and Malo, while its current pipeline includes Maison and the two-tower Crest development.

Further south, Morris has also developed a string of projects in Burleigh Heads, including Element, Boardwalk and Sandbar, while Essentia expanded its footprint north into Surfers Paradise.

The Seabeach Avenue application has been lodged by PMM Broadbeach Pty Ltd and seeks a development permit for a Material Change of Use for multiple dwellings, short-term accommodation and office uses. Zone Planning Group prepared the planning application, with Fraser &amp; Partners commissioned as architect.

The project comes as the developer continues to expand its Gold Coast pipeline while retaining a significant presence in Canberra. Morris now has more than $2.5 billion of development in its national pipeline and has delivered more than 7,000 homes during its near five-decade history

55 William presents&nbsp;just eight north-facing&nbsp;two-bedroom, three-bedroom and full-floor&nbsp;residences to the market, priced from $4.5 million.

The upcoming launch comes just weeks after Fortis secured approval for the $80 million development, its third eastern suburbs approval in two months. Construction is already underway, with completion targeted for 2028.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152579 project_image_fid=376250]

55 William adds to a growing concentration of Fortis projects in and around Double Bay, a market the developer has become increasingly active in over recent years.

Fortis previously completed the nine-residence Marmont on New South Head Road, while it is currently developing a mixed-use residential and retail project at 12 Cross Street. Its wider Double Bay footprint also extends into commercial and retail development.

The developer's broader Sydney residential pipeline is particularly concentrated across the eastern suburbs, with projects spanning Doub​le Bay, Ro​se Bay, Wo​ollahra, Dar​ling Point, Poi​nt Piper and Eli​zabeth Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152579 project_image_fid=376253]

At 55 William, Fortis has again turned to MHN Design Union, the architecture practice behind several of its eastern suburbs projects, while London-based 1508 London has been appointed to handle the interiors and Wyer &amp; Co the landscaping.

The six-level building will comprise a combination of two and three-bedroom apartments, including a garden residence, full-floor apartments, a sub-penthouse and penthouse. Each residence will have secure basement parking and private outdoor space.

A rooftop terrace for all residents, along with select apartments, enjoys views across Double Bay Harbour and toward the Sydney skyline.

Ceiling heights will reach up to three metres&nbsp;in select residences, while the kitchens will feature natural stone and integrated Gaggenau appliances.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The boutique nature of the project reflects the type of stock Fortis has increasingly targeted across Sydney's eastern suburbs, where larger apartments and smaller buildings are being pitched primarily toward local owner-occupiers and downsizers.

Fortis Group General Manager Ed Eve said the developer continues to see demand from buyers wanting to remain in the eastern suburbs but move into newer, lower-maintenance housing.

“We're seeing continued demand from local owner-occupiers and downsizers looking for high-quality homes that allow them to remain in the eastern suburbs, close to the lifestyle and community they know,” Eve said.

55 William is also one of the early projects to respond directly to the NSW Government's Low and Mid-Rise Housing reforms. Fortis had previously secured approval for just two townhouses on the 599 sqm site before revising the scheme to eight apartments following the planning changes.

Situated one street back from Double Bay's water's edge, the project enjoys an enviable harbourside setting within walking distance of Double Bay Village and the ferry wharf.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152579 project_image_fid=376252]

Fortis has increasingly made the eastern suburbs a major focus of its Sydney pipeline. Beyond Double Bay, it recently completed the 14-residence Piper in Point Piper and has projects underway or planned across Rose Bay, Woollahra and Darling Point.

The developer recently secured approval for Verano in Rose Bay, a six-level development comprising 21 two, three and four-bedroom apartments, also designed by MHNDU.

55 William&nbsp;is soon to be release to the market with VIP appointments commencing early September,&nbsp;with residences priced from $4.5 million.

Fortis continues eastern suburbs push with 55 William launch

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.

<h2>New South Wales First Home Owner Grant</h2>

Eligibility criteria and application processes differ across states. Prospective buyers should refer to their respective state revenue offices for full details on grant availability, conditions, and additional concessions.

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>

Melbourne businessman Paul Preat, who heads a helicopter adventure tourism company, has spent $8 million on an Airlie Beach retreat.
He has bought Mandalay Coral Gardens, a record-setting waterfront residence in tropical North Queensland, which comes with its own helipad.
It was sold by Whitsundays developer Bill Sharpe and his wife, Kirsty.
It won the Australian Master Builders Association house of the year award for 2007-08.
It took four years for the Sharpes to complete building on the 4749-square-metre property, to designs by architect Peter Connelly.
The four-bedroom main building has two levels with sliding glass walls, plus huge outdoor terraces and a marina berth.
It comes with a 40-metre infinity-edge pool that wraps around three sides of the house and has a swim-up wet bar. Informal living areas extend to a private beach with a teppanyaki pavilion.
Ken Jacobs and Darren Curtis at Christie's International oversaw the listing in conjunction with Rob Taylor at PRD Nationwide Whitsundays. It was initially listed in 2008, with the Preats being the keenest buyers when it didn’t sell at its June 2010 auction on Hayman Island.
The 1000-hectare Larundel farm, the Preat family residence in Victoria's Western District, remains listed through Jock Langley at Abercromby's Real Estate Armadale.
Most recently priced at $14 million, it was initially listed with $20 million hopes in late 2009.
The Larundel homestead is at Cargerie, near Meredith. Its interiors are by designer John Coote, and it is now set in Paul Bangay gardens. It was built by the Austin family, founders of the Larundel psychiatric and Austin hospitals.
Mr Preat, who has been associated with veterinary products, has indicated previously he and his wife Gabrielle were selling to pursue a new tourism opportunity in Queensland.

Makepeace Island, Virgin tycoon Richard Branson's getaway off the Sunshine Coast, has now been opened to the luxury resort hire market.
It costs $7,900 a night for a party of eight guests and up to $16,890 a night in peak season for up to 22 guests. It’s a bit cheaper than Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, which costs $US53,000 ($A49,380) per night to hire.
Once a muddy patch of land floating on the Noosa River, the 9.2-hectare heart-shaped island has been transformed into an ultra-luxurious Balinese-style retreat with 11 bedrooms.
Sir Richard, along with Virgin Blue executives Brett Godfrey and former colleague Rob Sherrard, bought it for $2.86 million in 2007.
On its purchase Sir Richard said he had purchased it as a present to his employees.
"It's incredible when you think of the achievement that all of the staff have done down here. Airfares have halved and hundreds and thousands of more people are travelling," he said.
"None of that could have been possible had it not been for our magnificent staff.
"As a thank you, we have bought a beautiful island off Noosa for the staff to use with their friends to come and party," Sir Richard said. 
But the initial plans to develop it as a luxury staff resort failed to gain Noosa Council approval. In 2008 work finally began to renovate the old timber cottage on Noosa's only privately owned island.
The subtropical island, six kilometres upstream from the coast, originally featured a classic 1911 Queenslander residence with corrugated iron roof dating back to the days when the island was known as Pig Island.
The property now comes with a main long house with a giant bar, a four-bedroom guesthouse, several two-bedroom villas, a boathouse and a lagoon pool with a lap lane, dive spots and a 15-person spa.
The island has its own riverboat to transfer guests, a full-sized tennis court, outdoor cinema, two-storey open-air Balinese wantilan, a games room and office facilities.
Sir Richard, who says Noosa is his "favourite place in Australia", says Makepeace is available for whole-of-island rental only. It comes with staff, who prepare all meals. 
"When neither Brett nor myself are visiting Makepeace, we will make the island and its facilities available for others to enjoy the tranquility of what is a very special place," Branson said.
The house had been the home of artist Brian Spencer and his wife, Beverley, between 1980 and 1997.
Makepeace Island was first owned by Charles Nicholas, who built the Queenslander in 1924. The island, alongside the Sheep and Goat islands, was renamed after a spinster housekeeper named Hanna Makepeace who inherited the house after starting work there in 1924.

As we look to what's ahead for 2012, Property Observer is republishing some of our most noteworthy stories of 2011.
 
Brisbane’s serviced apartment market is mounting an exceptionally strong recovery, in direct contrast to dwindling numbers on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
Serviced apartment occupancy ratios in Brisbane soared during the March quarter of 2011, rising 65% in January 2011 to 83%, according to ABS data.
Guests spent just over 123,000 nights staying in the city’s 4,800 rooms in March 2011, compared with about 93,000 in January.
While guests are staying for slightly shorter periods (three days in March, down from 3.5 days in January), average takings per room have increased from $147 a night to $172.
The figures suggest the Brisbane market may present opportunities for investors.
Earlier this year, property analyst Michael Matusik suggested investors look at the serviced apartments sector ahead of the lacklustre residential sector.
Matusik calls serviced apartments “residential assets wrapped up in a commercial lease” and says most of the 900-plus serviced apartment projects are taking place in Queensland.
According to the CBRE Hotels Traveller Accommodation Property Database, Queensland makes up nearly half (47.6%) of Australia’s serviced apartment market.
Brisbane is one of the epicentres of growth, with the city accounting for nearly a quarter of all serviced apartment accommodation in the state.
“Serviced apartment products have several advantages over traditional residential investments,” Matusik says.
“Apart from offering pre-tax returns between 1% and 2% higher than standard residential properties, serviced apartments also offer a commercial lease arrangement.”
Furthermore, Matusik says the number of people who stayed in an Australian serviced apartment last year increased to 2.3 million, from just one million a decade ago.
The recovery in Brisbane serviced apartments’ mirrors a strong comeback in the corresponding hotel sector on the back of strong corporate demand.
According to CBRE research, serviced apartments in CBD locations are favoured by corporate travellers while those in regional centres are used predominantly by leisure travellers.
CBRE Hotels senior director for Queensland, Wayne Bunz, said in June the strength of the Brisbane market was spurring strong demand from hotel investors and could push forward a number of major development projects.
Gold Coast languishes
In contrast, the Gold Coast apartment market is starting to wear the basket-case label analysts have placed around its neck.
In the space of three months, occupancy rates have plummeted by 20%, falling from 78% in January to 58% in March, while the revenue generated per night’s accommodation fell equally dramatically – down from $165 to $129.
It’s a similar story on the Sunshine Coast, where serviced apartment blocks are less than half full (48%) compared with 61% in January 2011 and 70% in January 2010.
Serviced apartments currently up for sale on the Sunshine Coast include the 37-apartment Mirage Alexandra Headland at 6 Mari Street, up for sale for $2.9 million by Glenn Millar from Resort Brokers.
Millar is also selling a 49-apartment complex at Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast for $2.85 million. Further up the coast, the North Queensland market is faring better, with occupancy ratios holding steady at 65% in March compared to 66% in January.

Receivers have been appointed to sell two Queensland golf courses bought in 2002 by a Babcock &amp; Brown investment syndicate.
 The Robina Woods golf course, considered by many to be the most picturesque on the Gold Coast, has been listed for receivership sale through CB Richard Ellis and McVay Real Estate, along with the nearby The Colonial course.
 The courses have been listed for sale under instructions from Joseph Hayes and Jamie Harris from McGrathNicol as receivers and managers of Playmore Golf Pty Ltd.
 Former Babcock &amp; Brown chief executive Phil Green has been one of the three directors of Playmore since 2002, along with Sydney entrepreneur Danny Goldberg, and Malta-based Eric Lucas.
 The property was bought in 2002 for $7.28 million from the American Golf Corporation.
A recent meeting of creditors was attended by 16 creditors with claims totalling $3.86 million.
Reporting on its purchase, the Australian Financial Review noted the investment syndicate was managed by Babcock &amp; Brown.
Noting Babcock &amp; Brown was one of Australia’s savviest property investors, the newspaper quoted Babcock director Michael Maxwell as saying golf was a sector with growth potential as a wave of people retired from the main cities.
Maxwell said Robina Woods and The Colonial were examples of golf courses where there was a mature environment that could generate acceptable investment returns.
“It’s not a sector you can just waltz into,” Mr Maxwell told the AFR.
The highly rated championship golf courses are within a few kilometres of each other in the master-planned residential community of Robina.
 Offers are due by August 18, with agents Mark Witheriff and Paul Nyholt of CBRE, with McVay Real Estate’s Will and Sam McVay, expecting international interest.
“Courses of this standard are rarely offered to the market, with Royal Pines being the last Gold Coast course to change hands in 2009,” Mr Witheriff said.
 Prospective purchasers could include time-share and hotel operators.
 Robina Woods is an 18-hole, par 71 course on 61 hectares.
 The Marsh Waston-designed course opened in 1990 and incorporates a landmark clubhouse with food and beverage facilities and banquet rooms. There are tennis courts and access to a wedding chapel.
 The Colonial is an 18-hole, par 72 course on 75 hectares designed by Mitsuaki Kobayashi, which opened in 1992. Built by Nara Australia Pty Ltd, the course opened as Paradise Springs Golf Course. Its facilities include a Queenslander-style clubhouse, pool and spa.

Mining magnate Clive Palmer, Queensland's richest man, has bought the Hyatt Regency resort at Coolum on the Sunshine Coast.
"The Hyatt Regency is one of the state's leading resorts and has a rich history," Mr Palmer said.
The purchase price has not been revealed but it was expected to fetch considerably more than the recently sold $35 million Sheraton Mirage at Port Douglas, which Mr Palmer gave consideration to buying.

The central Queensland coastal town of Gladstone, 550 kilometres north of Brisbane, is emerging as a property investment hotspot, according to the May quarter Midwood report.
Median house prices in Gladstone have increased 8% over the year to March 2011 to $395,000, compared with flat house prices in nearby Bundaberg over this period and a 2% decline on the Fraser Coast.
Vacancy rates have tumbled in Gladstone falling from 4.1% in March 2010 to just 1.4% in 2011, and rents have gone up for all categories of housing.
According to the July Herron Todd White report, “soaring rents [in Gladstone] are still attracting investors into the market, with very good yields currently available”.
“The Gladstone residential market continues to perform strongly with values still climbing, and heightened activity due to the announcement of major LNG projects in October 2010 and January 2011,” the report says.
“Modern properties are still in high demand and are obtaining the best yields, especially when furnished. There are still opportunities to make a profit in the construction of new dwellings, with end values generally exceeding the total of construction and land costs.”

Gladstone is set to benefit from big energy, mining and infrastructure projects scheduled to commence in the region over the next 10 years.
These include a $41 billion coal mining project scheduled from 2011 to 2020, a $75 billion energy project scheduled from 2011 to 2017, a $7 billion rail project (2011 to 2014) and an $8 billion port project (2011 to 2020).
According to the Midwood report, property developer Devine will next year commence building a $1.4 billion master planned community just outside of the Gladstone CBD.
The 496-hectare site, to be developed over the next 12 years, will include 2,900 dwellings for up to 7,500 residents, an education campus, a mixed-use commercial zone and 182 hectares of open space
On June 24, the Gladstone Regional Council announced it had approved a 63-unit development on Glenlyon Street, which it says “will help ease the housing stress being experienced in the city”.
The “G60” development is being undertaken by developer Stokeston.
According to Council Development Portfolio spokesman Craig Butler, the approval will add to the residential options available within the region, “particularly when considering that, at the end of the March 2011 quarter, there were in excess of 4,500 residential lots approved for subdivision and in excess of 550 units approved”.
"With the number of dwellings approved this year already exceeding the total number approved in the whole of the 2009 calendar year, being in excess of 400 houses currently under construction, the amount of residential activity is certainly on the rise.” 
The population Gladstone increased by 3% from 2009 to 2010 to 50,158. In the 2006 census, the population was recorded at 28,808.
