Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

WM Residences fills gap in Mordialloc townhouse market

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.

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>

Off-the-plan property explained: What is stamp duty?

State governments in Tasmania and Western Australia have introduced new stamp duty discounts aimed at encouraging the construction and purchase of new apartments and units.

These measures are part of broader efforts to increase housing density and provide more affordable housing options in regions where new construction has lagged behind demand.

In Tasmania, a 50 per cent stamp duty concession has been implemented for buyers of new apartments and units that are either off-the-plan or under construction.

The discount applies to properties valued at up to $750,000 and is available until June 30, 2026. This initiative is designed to support medium-density housing and make apartment living more accessible to Tasmanians.&nbsp;

The state government hopes that this will not only boost construction activity but also provide greater certainty for builders and developers by reducing financial risks associated with large-scale projects.

Western Australia has also introduced stamp duty exemptions and discounts to stimulate the new apartment market.&nbsp;

Buyers can benefit from a full stamp duty exemption on off-the-plan apartment purchases valued at up to $650,000 if the property is bought before construction begins.

For properties under construction, a 75 per cent stamp duty discount is available, also on purchases up to $650,000. Additional concessions are offered for homes worth up to $750,000.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263307]

The new policies reflect a growing recognition of the need to address housing affordability and supply issues, particularly in cities like Hobart and Launceston, where housing density remains low.&nbsp;

Although the Tasmanian housing market saw an 8.8 per cent increase in dwelling approvals in June, the state still trails significantly behind others.

The effectiveness of these discounts in driving new apartment construction will depend not only on buyer uptake, but also on the willingness of local governments to approve higher-density developments, a process that has historically faced challenges in Tasmania.

These stamp duty concessions are part of a broader debate on the role of such taxes in the property market.&nbsp;

Some economic analysts argue that removing or significantly reducing stamp duty could be a key factor in making housing more accessible to a wider range of buyers, particularly in regions where the tax represents a substantial portion of the cost of purchasing a home.&nbsp;

The latest measures in Tasmania and Western Australia are seen as steps towards addressing these concerns, although their long-term impact on housing supply and affordability remains to be seen.

Tasmania joins Western Australia in introducing stamp duty discounts to off the plan property buyers

Dairy giant Fonterra Australia has rescued <a target="_blank" href="https://www.smartcompany.com.au/growth/economy/33854-tamar-valley-dairy-goes-under-following-turbulent-times">Tamar Valley Dairy from administration</a>, acquiring the assets of the Launceston-based yoghurt business.
Fonterra will take on the processing equipment, related services, intellectual property and trademark for the Tamar Valley Dairy brand. The amount paid was not disclosed.
The acquisition will be effective from late November, subject to completion of the sale.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.smartcompany.com.au/growth/economy/34398-fonterra-buys-stake-in-bega-cheese-david-jones-enjoys-sales-lift-midday-roundup">Last week Fonterra also bought a 6% stake in Bega Cheese</a>, causing the Australian dairy business’s shares to lift 9.75% in early trade.
Fonterra said in a statement it had purchased 9.3 million shares in Bega at $4.95 a share, equating to a total cost of $46 million. Bega is one of three businesses locked in battle for Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory.
Fonterra managing director Judith Swales said the two companies had worked closely with the administrators to push through a difficult period for the Tamar Valley Dairy and its founders.
“The founding family has created a business with strong capability and innovation, known for producing new yoghurt formats and formulations, and in a relatively short timeframe they have built a national brand in Tamar Valley Dairy,” Swales said.
Details regarding roles for employees and the transition of company operations are still to be refined. However, Fonterra, which currently operates the Nestlé SKI brand, has confirmed the Tamar Valley Dairy site will be fully integrated into Fonterra’s Tasmanian and Australian manufacturing operations.
This will enable the business to create “greater efficiencies and scale, while ensuring that Tamar Valley Dairy’s innovation and its Tasmanian origin continues”, the company reported.
Fonterra has announced it will invest in manufacturing assets, as well as upgrading quality and safety systems. It also reported it will invest in people and further innovation in the yoghurt product range.
Tamar Valley Dairy went into administration in late September, with Deloitte Restructuring Services partners Glen Kanevsky and Tim Norman appointed.
The 17-year-old business was established in 1996 near Launceston, Tasmania and has 170 employees.
At the time Kanevsky said the business operated in an “extremely competitive sector” and that it had been challenged due to a “slowdown in sales and pressure on margins”.
Tamar Valley Dairy produces a variety of yoghurt products including classic, low fat and Greek varieties. It has been stocked in major retailers including Coles supermarkets, with its own brand and private label offerings.
In April this year the business was reported to have financial challenges, with founder Archie Matteo confirming with The Australian that his family company owed creditors and suppliers several million dollars as part of a “short-term liquidity problem”.
Fonterra operates two manufacturing facilities in Tasmania, and reports that it is responsible for processing over half of Tasmania’s milk. It collects almost 500 million litres of milk from almost 260 dairy farms each year, and employs 220 people.
Over the last two years, Fonterra has invested $20 million in these operations.

Tasmania's house sales are recording a 1.6% decrease over the September quarter, after a 10.5% increase over the June quarter, according to the latest Real Estate Institute of Tasmania (REIT) figures.
However, the picture is mixed if you dig a little deeper. Considering Hobart, REIT president, Adrian Kelly, said that house sales were down 11% for the quarter.
In Outer Hobart, sales were actually up 21% for the quarter and 62.8% for the year.
“Launceston house sales were down 7.3% for the quarter, while house sales in the North West Centres saw a slight increase, recording a 1.8% increase for the quarter," Kelly said.
“The median house price for Tasmania also saw a slight decrease for the quarter, down 1.4%, but resulting in a 3.5% increase over the year to date."
Looking at current median prices, he listed the top three most expensive suburbs: Battery Point Sandy Bay Mount Nelson
The top three suburbs with the highest turnover of house sales: Kingston Devonport Blackmans Bay
“First home buyers also remained relatively steady for the June quarter, accounting for 17% of house sales across the State, with a median purchase house price of $236,250," he said.
“Second home buyers still hold over half the property market, with the report revealing they account for 55% of house sales at a median house price of $317,750, while interstate buyers held 14% of the market share for the September quarter."

The Hobart showrooms of motoring icons BMW and Renault have been listed for sale in one line. 
Located at 23 and 25-29 Barrack Street, the properties have a collective land area of about 1,969 square metres set over two titles, with future redevelopment potential subject to planning approvals. The combined building area is about 1,013 square metres.
Tasman Auto Group, trading as BMW and Renault Hobart, lease both properties. The combined net annual income is $280,000, which is set to increase early next year.
The expressions of interest campaign run through Paul Tzamalis and Alex Zent of CBRE, in conjunction with Tim Johnstone and Kevin Jubb of Edwards Windsor closes on 14th November.
Mr Tzamalis said the campaign was already generating significant buyer interest given the exceptional location of the two properties coupled with the strength of the tenancy covenant.
The properties are located on the western fringe of the Hobart CBD. The BMW site is located on the corner of Barrack and Collins Streets, whilst the adjacent Renault site is situated on the northern side of Barrack Street.

REIT President Adrian Kelly says after such a dramatic increase in house sales during the previous quarter,it was positive not to see too large a decline in the figures.
“The September Quarter Report also showed us which suburbs in Tasmania are experiencing the highest turnover, as well as which are the most affordable and expensive,” he said.
“The top three most expensive suburbs were Battery Point, Sandy Bay and Mount Nelson.
“The top three Tasmanian suburbs with the highest turnover of house sales were Kingston, Devonport and Blackmans Bay.
“First home buyers also remained relatively steady for the June quarter, accounting for 17% of house sales across the State, with a median purchase house price of $236,250.”
He said second home buyers still hold more half the property market.

Outer Hobart defies Tasmania market plateau

More than half of Tasmania's local councils now have new planning schemes following the declaration of schemes for the West Tamar and Meander Valley.
Tasmanian Planning Minister Bryan Green made the announcement last week following his declaration of planning schemes for all local councils in the Cradle Coast region the week before.
The minister said that the signing-off on schemes for the West Tamar and Meander Valley councils means the majority of northern Tasmania is now covered by the new planning laws, news source urbananalyst reports.
Green said cooperation between the state government and local councils was the key to the success of the planning reforms. He cited the introduction of a single state-wide planning template, a new code for residential development and new regional land use strategies.
"The government's reforms focus on reducing costs and barriers to job-creating developments and housing through streamlined planning systems," he said.
The Tasmanian Planning Commission says the minister's declaration of the West Tamar and Meander Valley interim planning schemes is the first step in the assessment process under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993.
The schemes will now be publicly exhibited and representations can be made to respective planning authorities during this time.
The West Tamar interim scheme applies to the West Tamar municipal area and replaces the West Tamar Planning Scheme 2006, while the Meander Valley interim scheme applies to the Meander Valley municipal area and replaces the Meander Valley Planning Scheme 1995.

New planning schemes for more than 50% of Tasmania

<html><body>
Nine new planning schemes have been announced for all councils in the picturesque Cradle Coast region in Tasmania.
This is part of the government's planning reform program that aims to deliver contemporary and more consistent planning schemes across the state, Urbanalyst reports.
Tasmanian planning minister Bryan Green said on Wednesday the region was the first in the state to have consistent new planning schemes that would focus on reducing costs and barriers to job-creating developments and housing through streamlined planning systems.
The new process has worked elsewhere. "Launceston, which was the first council in Tasmania to implement a new planning scheme, has already seen millions worth of investment unlocked and we want to see that happening around the state," Mr Green said.
Each of the nine councils in the Cradle Coast Region -- Burnie, Devonport, Central Coast, Latrobe, Waratah-Wynyard, Circular Head, West Coast, Kentish and King Island -- submitted draft interim planning schemes last December and, after amendments, they were adopted.
The Tasmanian Planning Commission says this is the first step in the assessment process under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993. The schemes will be exhibited and representations can be made to the respective planning authority.
"Whether developing on King Island, Devonport, Burnie, Queenstown or Smithton, these reforms will minimise costs for builders and developers by increasing the consistency, clarity and certainty of the planning system," Mr Green said.
In other areas of Tasmania, the minister has declared planning schemes for the Launceston, Northern Midlands, Break O'Day, George Town, West Tamar and Meander Valley local government areas.
"It is important that our planning laws keep pace with the expectations of local communities and potential investors. The government is delivering the most important planning reforms we have ever seen and we will continue working with all councils,’’ Mr Green said.
"We now have a single planning template for the whole state, a new code for residential development which is cutting costs and speeding up approvals, and new regional land use strategies."

The Real Estate Institute of Tasmania (REIT) has slammed Minister Nick McKim for failing to involve them in the organisation of the Residential Property Transactions Bill 2013 prior to its debate in parliament.
REIT president Adrian Kelly said that in April, McKim had promised them the opportunity to discuss their concerns around the bill, which is now set to be up for debate today.
The bill will introduce new measures into property transactions across Tasmania, including a standard set of disclosure documents, cooling off periods for purchasers, stronger purchasers' rights around rescinding a contract due to unapproved building works and severe penalties for those who do not comply. 
“We have been very proactive in forcing Government to introduce mandatory smoke alarms into all rental properties, as well as assisting in setting minimum standards for rental properties,” said Kelly. These <a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/tasmania/landlord-rules-overhauled-in-tasmania-minimum-standards-rental-increase-limits-six-week-eviction-notice/2013101365661?utm_source=po&amp;utm_medium=aida&amp;utm_campaign=latestnews">changes will be coming into force soon</a>.
“This new Bill will not solve any of the problems it is intended to. Instead it will make what is currently a simple transactional process so full of red tape and convolution that even the most experienced conveyancor or solicitor will find it difficult to follow," he said.
He noted that the government had not entered into conversation with the organisation due to their vested interests.
He pointed to a petition that had been signed by the "majority of all legal firms in this State" that opposed the bill.
“Surely the Minister can’t honestly believe he knows more about a real estate transaction than all lawyers and estate agents combined?" he said.
“The losers will be those ordinary Tasmanians who wish to sell their family home, because under this new Bill they can easily be duped by an unscrupulous purchaser," he said, while acknowledging that McKim's reasoning is likely to be about consumer protection.

Landlord obligations will severely tighten in Tasmania following amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act being passed by parliament last month.
Landlords are now barred from increasing rents in six month intervals, are required to maintain tenanted properties to a minimum level and must give tenants six weeks notice of eviction.
According to the Tenant’s Union of Tasmania tenanted homes must now be
<ul>
<li>Weatherproof and structurally sound </li>
<li>Clean and in good repair </li>
<li>Equipped with bathroom and toilet </li>
<li>Serviced with a kitchen sink, hotplates and an oven (which can be a microwave)</li>
<li>Supplied with electricity and one fixed form of heating</li>
<li>Provided with curtains (except properties owned by Housing Tasmania)</li>
<li>Adequately ventilated</li>
</ul>
Landlords are now barred from requiring tenants to pay fees to lodge rent.
They may only increase rent in 12 month intervals, up from 6 months.
Landlords must provide 42 days notice for an eviction at the end of a fixed term lease, up from 14.
And landlords may not take photos of properties that identify the tenant.
But landlords may now evict tenants on a non-fixed lease if a family member of the landlord wants to move in while tenants must now give 21 days notice of leaving at the end of a fixed term lease.
According to Tenants Union Victoria the new amendments to the Act will likely commence on July 1st 2014 with some of the minimum standards coming into force as late as 2017.

Regular observer Cameron McEvoy believes that overall, investment desirability in an area is heavily dependent on infrastructure.
"There is not one checklist of infrastructure vitals you need to investigate when considering an investment property purchase, but two", <a target="_blank" href="/news">Cameron McEvoy wrote</a>.
Yesterday, we covered Cameron McEvoy's checklist of <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/hotspots/cameron-mcevoy-s-checklist-for-an-area-s-vital-infrastructure/2013080863975?utm_source=po&amp;utm_medium=aida&amp;utm_campaign=listoftheday" target="_blank">eight vital infrastructure signs to ensure your area stacks up</a>.
Today are his desirable infrastructure for an area. 
"The second list, ‘Area Desirables’ are just that, the ‘nice-to-have’ factors that can – and do – persuade prospective tenants to choose one suburb over a similar suburb to live in," Cameron McEvoy wrote.
Infrastructure Checklist – Area Desirables:
-          Prestigious education facilities (beyond basic, so esteemed schools/universities with a good reputation)
-          Nearby national parks &amp; hiking trails
-          Hospital facilities that provide sophisticated surgeries &amp; procedures
-          Bustling local entertainment venues (abundance of restaurant choices/cultures, popular nightspots)
-          Proximity to premium entertainment &amp; sports venues (for big concerts, major sporting calendar events)
-          Provision of adequate parking nearby to transport nodes
