Construction is set to begin at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/orchard-mews-glen-iris-18-scott-grove-glen-iris-vic-3146">Orchard Mews</a> in Glen Iris, with&nbsp;PC Whitehall &amp; Sons&nbsp;now appointed as the townhome development moves into its next phase.

The development by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/montcoeur">MontCoeur</a>,&nbsp;located at 18 Scott Grove, is now around 30 per cent sold, with completion targeted for late-2027.

Orchard Mews comprises a curated collection of three- and four-bedroom customisable townhomes, positioned within one of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/glen-iris-vic-3146">Glen Iris</a>’ more tightly held residential streets. The low-density project has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, with landscape architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/jack-merlo">Jack Merlo</a>, bringing together a team known for high-end residential projects across Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150128 project_image_fid=366285]

The development is defined by its focus on flexible living and long-term usability. Each residence includes multiple living zones and a customisable multipurpose room, allowing buyers to tailor spaces to suit changing needs, whether as a home office, additional bedroom, wellness area or entertainment space.

Architecturally, the townhomes emphasise natural light and spatial volume, with dual-aspect layouts and double-height living areas incorporated into the design. Interiors feature natural stone benchtops, premium appliances, and a neutral material palette intended to support everyday functionality rather than statement-driven finishes.

All residences are all-electric and include private lifts and secure double garages, reflecting a broader shift toward sustainability and future-focused housing in Melbourne’s established suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150128 project_image_fid=366277]

Outdoor connections are also central to the offering, with a mix of private courtyards and terraces extending internal living spaces and integrating with the landscaped surrounds.

The Scott Grove address places Orchard Mews within close proximity to some of Melbourne’s key lifestyle and education amenities, including Scotch College, Sacré Cœur, Cabrini Hospital and the retail hub of Chadstone. Public transport access is also nearby, with trams and Gardiner Station providing connectivity to the CBD and surrounding suburbs.

Construction to commence at luxury Glen Iris townhome project, Orchard Mews

A rare new apartment development has been proposed on the fringe of St Ives Village.

Developer Newquest Property has lodged plans for a low-rise apartment project designed by well-regarded architecture firm Warren &amp; Mahoney, which is best known for its work in the multi-residential sector in Melbourne.

The building, proposed for a 1,916 sqm site on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/st-ives-residences-3-5-memorial-avenue-nsw-2075">Memorial Avenue</a> opposite St Ives Village Green, has been designed to blend into the surrounding natural environment.

<img alt="St Ives" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5c1c7437-2fba-4345-a6d7-05321714ad3e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-04%20at%201.28.46%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=KrYyMaJvNqR7vbx0xbB3Ef8sJ6FuHpmn" />

“Drawing inspiration from the pale trunks and flowering canopies of the scribbly gums and blue gums prevalent in the area, a considered material palette was developed,” the architectural design report states.

“This palette references the established materiality of the suburb while elevating it through refined finishes to achieve a more luxurious architectural expression.”

Of the 33 apartments proposed, 21 will be three-bedroom residences. The remaining mix includes nine two-bedroom apartments, one one-bedroom apartment and two four-bedroom residences. The development will be supported by 62 car parking spaces and 33 secure bicycle spaces.

The proposal would replace two single-storey brick buildings currently on the site.

<img alt="St Ives" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="21422eaf-09a9-4439-9278-b9bd9daf22a1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-04%20at%201.38.10%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=v.fXSgcUcEscvOZzqcjG5nk3gVqk_Amt" />

St Ives remains a relatively untapped market for new apartment development. North Shore developer WINIM has a number of projects in the area, while INCA is nearing completion of Ellis Residences.

More recently, Traders In Purple has lodged plans for one of the denser projects proposed in the suburb, a 75-apartment development on a 5,900 sqm site on Cowan Road.

NewQuest, a construction, design and development firm, has delivered over 24 projects across commercial, residential, industrial, and lad markets.&nbsp;

First look: NewQuest Property proposes new St Ives apartment development

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/centa-property-group">Centa Property Group</a> has achieved two major milestones at its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bilinga-house-107-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Bilinga House</a> apartment development in the sought-after southern Gold Coast.

They've almost sold 50 per cent of the Golden Four Drive building, while at the same time announcing the commencement of construction through reputable builder Greyburn Construction.

The boutique 10-storey building, with 47 two- and three-bedroom apartments, now has a mid-to-late 2028 completion date.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150037 project_image_fid=5333]

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>-designed project is positioned just 200 metres from Bilinga Beach and brings a relatively rare apartment offering to a market that has seen limited new supply in recent years.

Residences have been designed to maximise natural light and ventilation, with open-plan interiors, generous glazing, and material palettes that reflect the surrounding coastal landscape.

Interiors incorporate engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, and custom joinery, with layouts designed to adapt to both permanent living and lock-and-leave use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150037 project_image_fid=5336]

Rothelowman Senior Project Leader Matthew Tencate said the design approach centres on liveability and community.

“Providing curated on-site amenities and communal spaces for residents that facilitate a sense of community, liveability, and wellness,” Tencate said.

Residents will have access to a suite of private amenities including a pool, gym, sauna, and communal alfresco areas, alongside practical features such as surfboard storage and bicycle facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150037 project_image_fid=5336]

Centa Property Group Director Jason Yuen said the project has been designed to appeal to a range of buyers seeking flexibility in how they use their property.

“Bilinga House is designed for those who want the best of both worlds – a modern beachside escape with the flexibility to generate income when you're not there,” Yuen said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150037 project_image_fid=5338]

Bilinga remains one of the quieter pockets of the Gold Coast, sitting between the more established hubs of Coolangatta and Palm Beach. Its appeal has strengthened in recent years, supported by proximity to the Gold Coast Airport and the Oceanway coastal path.

Bilinga House apartments snapped up as Greyburn commences construction

Breaking into the Sydney property market has long felt out of reach for many first home buyers, particularly as median house prices sit above $1.6 million and unit prices push beyond $900,000.

But entry points still exist in pockets of Greater Western Sydney, where pricing, government incentives, and product mix are aligning to make ownership more attainable.

Understanding where those opportunities sit, and how the numbers actually stack up, is becoming increasingly important for buyers weighing up their next move.

<h2>Work out what you can actually afford</h2>

Sydney is expensive, but it isn’t uniformly expensive. The Greater Parramatta region continues to offer comparatively accessible entry points, particularly for buyers open to alternative configurations like studios.

There's an assumption that a first home needs to be a certain size, that anything smaller than a one-bedder is a concession rather than a choice. That assumption doesn't hold up against what well-designed studios in the right location actually offer: immediate liveability, strong urban amenity, and a price point that makes the deposit target realistic rather than theoretical.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/mason-main-merrylands-249-259-merrylands-road-merrylands-nsw-2160">Mason &amp; Main</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a>'s multi-award winning precinct in Merrylands, studio apartments are unlike the typical studio configuration.

Starting from $498,000, the bedroom is fully enclosed, separated from the living area by a cavity sliding door, creating a genuinely private sleeping space that functions more like a one-bedroom apartment than a traditional open-plan studio.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=359814]

At 42 sqm internally, with an open-plan kitchen, built-in robes, modern bathroom, and separate laundry, the apartments are designed for everyday liveability rather than short-term use.

With a five per cent deposit under the Federal Government's First Home Guarantee, that equates to a deposit of around $24,200, achievable for many first home buyers without the added cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

<h2>Understand the real cost of renting versus buying</h2>

For buyers weighing up the shift from renting to owning, the numbers are closer than many expect.

Here’s how the numbers stack up for a studio at Mason &amp; Main (based on a $498,000 purchase):

<ul>
	<li>Purchase price: $498,000</li>
	<li>Five per cent deposit (First Home Guarantee): ~$24,900</li>
	<li>Loan amount: ~$473,100</li>
	<li>Estimated mortgage repayment (6.29% variable, 30-year term): ~$675–$695/week*</li>
	<li>Estimated rental return: $590–$620/week*</li>
	<li>Rental yield: 6.16% - 6.47%</li>
</ul>

At this level, the gap between renting and owning is relatively narrow, particularly when factoring in long-term equity, with rental returns also making the apartments a viable option for investors.

The rental range reflects current asking rents for remaining studio stock in the development and, based on prevailing asking prices, equates to an indicative gross rental yield of up to 6.47 per cent.

For buyers seeking more internal space, Mason &amp; Main also offers a range of one-bedroom apartments from $629,000, alongside larger one-bedroom plus multipurpose room configurations priced from $680,000 - all priced under $800,000 and eligible for first home buyer incentives.

<ul>
	<li>Purchase price: $629,000</li>
	<li>20 per cent deposit: ~$125,800 (5% deposit on exchange: $31,450)</li>
	<li>Loan amount 80%: ~$503,200</li>
	<li>Estimated mortgage repayment: ~$720–$740/week*</li>
	<li>Estimated rental return: $650–$680/week*</li>
	<li>Rental yield:&nbsp;5.37% - 5.62%</li>
</ul>

One-bedroom apartments continue to present a balanced option for both owner-occupiers and investors, supported by steady rental demand across Western Sydney.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=359812]

<h2>Make sure you're across the government incentives</h2>

Government incentives continue to play a key role in reducing the upfront cost barrier.

At Mason &amp; Main, studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments are priced under $800,000, allowing eligible buyers to access a full stamp duty exemption under the NSW First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme.

On a $498,000 purchase, that represents a saving of roughly $17,900 that would otherwise need to be paid at settlement.

Combined with the First Home Guarantee, which enables purchases with as little as a five per cent deposit, the total capital required to secure a home is significantly reduced compared to traditional lending pathways.

<h2>No waiting, no uncertainty</h2>

For first home buyers who want to move sooner rather than later, Mason &amp; Main removes one of the more common pain points from the purchase process entirely. The development is already complete and move-in ready, meaning buyers can walk through the apartments, inspect the finishes, and have full certainty about what they're purchasing before signing anything.

Coronation brought in renowned architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> to design the development.&nbsp;

"The project's design drew inspiration from the area's rich heritage, in particular the nearby brickworks and aqueduct, infusing a contemporary perspective to seamlessly integrate historical influences into the design," Woods Bagot Principal Dom Alvaro says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=736]

<h2>Factor in location and lifestyle</h2>

Beyond the apartment itself, the surrounding infrastructure matters, particularly for a first purchase. Merrylands Station sits 350 metres from the development, putting the Parramatta CBD a five-minute drive away and the Sydney CBD roughly 25 minutes via the Western Line. Directly across the road is Stockland <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/merrylands-nsw-2160">Merrylands</a>, one of Greater Western Sydney's major retail centres.

At street level, Mason &amp; Main's own retail and dining precinct has more than 30 tenants trading, including Iftar, Macelleria, Hayat, San Churro, Yuzu, and Fat Jaks. Residents also have access to a resort-style pool, a Technogym-equipped gym, private dining rooms, and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views across Parramatta, the Sydney CBD, and the Blue Mountains, all exclusive to the building.

Due to the mix of configurations, including studios which are rarely offered in today's new apartment market, first home buyers and investors have driven Mason &amp; Main to over 90 per cent sold.

Coronation Property Managing Director Joe Nahas says the development is driving a revitalisation of Merrylands, setting a high standard for future developments in the area.

Mason &amp; Main is move-in ready and is the latest in a series of award-winning mixed-use developments by Coronation Property.

How first home buyers can enter the Sydney property market for under $500k

Australia’s housing debate has rarely been more urgent. The National Housing Supply and Affordability Council forecasts the country could fall around 262,000 homes short of housing needs by 2029, underscoring the scale of the challenge facing planners, governments and developers.

In response, much of the conversation has centred on high-density towers around transport corridors and strategic centres.

Diversified developer Coronation Property, while also focused on well-located, strategic sites, is incorporating an arguably underutilised typology, the terrace.

Difficult to integrate into true high-rise developments, terraces have become a defining feature of Coronation’s lower-rise portfolio, including projects in Ashbury and Erskineville. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/ashbury-terraces-165-171-milton-street-ashbury-nsw-2193">Ashbury Terraces</a> places a stronger emphasis on this housing type, forming part of a broader community mix.

At its Erskineville development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lillian-erskineville-9-metters-street-erskineville-nsw-2043">Lillian</a>, terraces are more limited, with just a handful&nbsp;included within the wider, predominantly apartment-led precinct, one of the first developments to launch in Erskineville in several years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135149 project_image_fid=368392]

Terrace residents at Lillian benefit from many of the same advantages as apartment owners, the lock-up-and-leave lifestyle and access to shared amenities like the rooftop wellness space, but with significantly more space.

Spanning multiple levels, the terraces also feature front and rear courtyards, providing direct access to the central landscaped gardens within the precinct.

<h3 data-end="212" data-section-id="1n97jye" data-start="191">The terrace model</h3>

Terrace housing has long been part of Australia’s urban fabric. From Paddington and Surry Hills to Glebe and Annandale, rows of terrace homes have shaped neighbourhood streets, offering a housing form that sits between detached houses and apartments.

The contemporary terrace, however, addresses many of the limitations of older designs, where narrow staircases and constrained layouts often compromised liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135149 project_image_fid=368157]

“Terraces represent one of the city’s most intelligent housing models,” says Joe Nahas, Managing Director of Coronation Property.

“They deliver density without losing the human scale that makes neighbourhoods liveable. In many ways, they provide a bridge between the Sydney we know and the Sydney we need to build. If Sydney is going to grow well, it can’t rely on towers alone.”

<hr data-end="1090" data-start="1087" />
<h3 data-end="1124" data-section-id="1a7l0gw" data-start="1092">The evolution of the terrace</h3>

That thinking has shaped Coronation’s approach at Ashbury Terraces, where the terrace typology has been reinterpreted for modern living.

Designed by SJB, the project recently received recognition at the 2026 Better Future World Design Awards, acknowledging its architectural clarity and response to the surrounding suburban context.

SJB Director Adam Haddow says the intent was to evolve a familiar housing form rather than reinvent it.

“The terrace is one of Sydney’s most familiar housing forms, so our approach at Ashbury was to reinterpret that typology in a contemporary way,” Haddow says.

“The homes are designed to sit comfortably within the existing neighbourhood while introducing more light, landscape and shared spaces that support modern living.”

Ashbury Terraces combines terraces, apartments and penthouses across a series of low-rise buildings, integrating contemporary architecture with landscaped communal spaces and resident amenity.

That same typology is now being carried into Coronation’s Lillian development in Erskineville, where a smaller number of terraces sit within a predominantly apartment-led precinct.

<hr data-end="2269" data-start="2266" />
<h3 data-end="2289" data-section-id="cazuws" data-start="2271">Buyer response</h3>

Coronation’s decision to include terraces at Lillian was informed by strong buyer feedback from Ashbury Terraces, where purchasers were drawn to the flexibility and scale the housing type offers.

One resident, Sweta Pursem, purchased a terrace as a single buyer, citing its long-term versatility.

“As a single buyer, it might seem surprising that I chose a terrace over an apartment, but I was thinking long term,” Pursem says.

“The terraces are incredibly versatile, catering to a range of lifestyles while still offering the space and privacy of a house.”

For Pursem, the multi-level layout provides a level of functionality not typically found in apartment living.

“Having a separate living area from the bedroom and home office makes everyday living feel both functional and comfortable. When friends and family come to visit, the layout gives a sense of privacy while still feeling open and spacious.”

Her terrace also supports a more connected, lifestyle-driven way of living.

“I love entertaining, and the courtyard is ideal for relaxed weekend drinks with friends. I tend to use each level differently throughout the day, it creates a natural rhythm between work, downtime and entertaining, which I didn’t have in apartment living.”

Ashbury Terraces is now complete and ready to move in, while Lillian in Erskineville is under construction and expected to welcome residents in mid-2027.

Coronation champions terraces as a key piece of Sydney’s housing mix

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>

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.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="415" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C32BWkB5--c" title="YouTube video player" width="660"></iframe>

<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?

<html><body>
Residential dwelling values in Melbourne returned to trend in January with a 2.7% rise recorded by CoreLogic RP Data in the latest home value indices results.
This sets the Melbourne property market up for another stable year with moderate value increases likely, particularly in the detached house market. Melbourne home owners have seen stable growth in values for two years now and are more likely to record a profit when selling now.
House values in the city grew the strongest with a 2.8% rise compared to 1.7% for units. This takes the growth in values over 12 months to 7.5% for houses and 2.7% for units.
The rise in property values will be welcomed by vendors seeking to sell over the summer and in autumn as it suggests the poorer performance recorded in November and December last year was a consequence of high supply levels in spring and summer.
Demand is not limitless and there is still some caution from buyers.
Based on settled sales the median price of a house in the past three months was $613,000 and $480,000 for a unit.
The performance of the auction market provides little indication of the markets health due to the very low auction numbers in January and their geographic diversity. Volumes are likely to rise strongly over the next few weeks.
Melbourne continues to have the lowest rental yields in Australia with 3.2% for houses and 4.2% for units. This does not appear to have a negative impact on investors who are happy to wait for capital gains.
Melbourne’s ‘Mega suburbs’!
<ul>
<li>Reservoir is the largest suburb in Melbourne</li>
<li>Gilderoy is the smallest suburb in Melbourne</li>
<li>The are 12 suburbs in Melbourne with over 10,000 houses</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://blog.corelogic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/glen-waverley-railway-station-300x199.jpg"></a>Most weeks when the highest volume of auctions are listed, the suburbs of Reservoir, Glen Waverly and Mount Waverly come out near the top.
Auctions may well be a popular method of sale in these suburbs but their appearance in the list is more likely due to the fact that they are three of Melbourne’s largest areas.
Melbourne’s progressive growth over the past 180 years has seen suburbs planned and developed in many different ways. Sometimes geography provides natural borders and sometimes the common ownership by one developer provided the impetus for the naming or borders. Sometimes names and borders have even moved.
As a result Melbourne suburbs vary from 13,741 houses in Reservoir to 18 in Gilderoy. At more than 67km from the CBD the small ‘suburb’ of Gilderoy is more representative of it being a town than a considered decision to create a small suburb.
There are 12 suburbs in total that have more than 10,000 houses. Each is bigger than medium-sized regional centres such as, Mildura, Shepparton and Warrnambool and without outlying suburbs.
Those 12 suburbs are Reservoir, Frankston, Glen Waverly, Berwick, St Albans, Pakenham, Point Cook, Werribee, Mount Waverly, Hoppers Crossing, Craigieburn and Sunbury. Interestingly many of those were once separate towns which have now expanded considerably as they have become more proximate to the cities outer edge. As many of those are still being developed they are likely to grow further.
The vagaries of place naming and suburb size become even more obvious when the case of Croydon is considered.  On its own, Croydon is a large but not massive suburb with 7,293 houses. But once neighbouring Croydon North, South and Hills are considered, its size grows to 12,446 houses.
When buying in larger suburbs it is therefore sensible to consider where specifically a home is as factors such as distance from a train station, park or school may vary considerably. The form of housing may vary as well.
Auction buyers to benefit from interest rate cuts
This week’s interest rate cut will provide a boost to the auction market over the coming month and deliver a welcome reprieve for buyers looking to reduce costs. Not only will buyers enjoy the increased purchasing power, sellers will welcome the unexpected boost to the market in the middle of their marketing campaigns.
This week, there are 1,218 auctions expected across Australia, with 824 of these scheduled for in capital cities. This is compared to 502 last week and 927 for the same week last year. The primary reason for lower auction volumes in capital cities is due to 36 per cent fewer auctions in Melbourne.
In Sydney 317 auctions are expected compared to 154 last week and 362 this week last year.
In Melbourne 214 auctions are expected compared to 102 last week and 335 this week last year. The main activity this week in Melbourne will be found in the eastern suburbs with 9 auctions in Mount Waverley and 8 in Glen Waverly. In Portarlington, near Geelong, there are also 9 auctions expected.
There are 99 auctions expected in Brisbane compared to 85 last week and 98 this week last year. This highest level of activity will be found outside Brisbane with 180 auctions scheduled across the rest of Queensland. For example, the most auctions in any one suburb in Queensland will be in Surfers Paradise where 9 are expected.
In Adelaide there are 86 auctions expected. This is slightly lower than the 102 last week but higher than the 70 on the same week last year.
In Canberra the volume of auctions is higher than last week and this time last year when there was 50. There are 69 expected this week.
In Perth 30 auctions are expected compared to 24 last week and 43 this week last year.
The highest volume of auctions will be in Port Macquarie (NSW) where 10 are expected.

GUEST OBSERVATION
Melbourne has defied the critics with better than expected post-GFC property price growth. The city boasts a wonderful cultural lifestyle, Australia's best town transport network, and year-round tourism.
But, is that enough to justify plonking money in to a market where the cost of accommodation is already significantly higher than two thirds of Australia?
A significant portion of Victorian government revenues over the last five to six years has been in the form of property-related taxes from an <a href="https://www.propertyology.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/2013.02.16_Propertyology_FieldOfDreams.pdf">over stimulated construction industry</a>.
<img src="/images/2015/01/30/pressley%20jan%2030%20one.jpg" alt="">
We have been increasingly concerned about an oversupply implication on Melbourne property markets. The data in our building approvals graphic shows that property supply has been significantly higher over the last five years than previous trends.
To date, the higher supply has been counter-punched by higher demand in the form of a swing in population growth. Population growth rates have come from two main sources: <a href="https://www.propertyology.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/InterstateMigration_2014-06.jpg" target="_blank">net interstate migration</a> and the international student market.
We believe that Melbourne’s property market is very delicately poised. We question the sustainability of Victoria’s ‘we’ll keep building and they’ll keep coming’ strategy. The market has been over supplied for some time. Rental yields are already the lowest in the country and vacancy rates will rise above where they are now.
In our opinion, Victoria has some significant economic challenges on the horizon. The state has a high exposure to manufacturing and the closure of Ford, Holden and Toyota during 2016-17 will inflict a lot of pain. According to a study conducted by University of Adelaide, 98,000 Victorian jobs will be lost. The city councils with the biggest exposure are Melbourne City (15,000), Hume (9,000), Dandenong (7,000), Hobsons Bay (6,000) and Geelong (5,000).
A new state government was elected in to office in November 2014 which resulted in the scrapping of one of the state’s very few major infrastructure projects – the $18 billion East West Link transport project.
With a waning manufacturing industry, fewer state-owned assets than the likes of New South Wales and Queensland, and a small infrastructure pipeline it remains to be seen how the jobs will be created to support a growing population.
Will the new government play the ‘just expand the public sector’ card?
<img src="/images/2015/01/30/pressley%20jan%2030%20three.jpg" alt="">
Even with the higher population growth rates, the rates of property supply are enough to be concerned about. Things could become quite ‘ugly’ if intervention doesn’t create the extra jobs needed to support population growth. We might see interstate migration trends do an about face over the next couple of years.

The latest CoreLogic RP Data Pain and Gain Report  compares the sale price with purchase price for all homes sold in the most recent quarter and for which there is comprehensive data available.
Note: The report does not cover developer sales.
The central message of the <a href="https://www.corelogic.com.au/news/pain-gain-report-released-for-the-september-2014-quarter" target="_blank" title="Read the Pain and Gain report">Pain &amp; Gain Report</a> is  that owners are more likely to make a profit if they hold the property for a reasonable length of time, especially when the upfront impost of stamp duty and other transaction costs are taken into account.
For example, nationally, 3.3% of sellers made a 100% profit selling within one year of buying and almost passed this mark by half after 10 years of ownership.
In the September quarter last year, 6.5% of sellers in Melbourne made a loss in nominal terms. This was a slight improvement on the 6.6% in the June quarter and a substantial improvement on the 7.4% a year ago.
On a more local basis there are two ways of looking at the data; the proportion of sellers that made a profit and the gross profit made. Obviously the total profit made was higher in the more expensive municipalities. For example the highest profit was recorded in Boroondara at $232 million. By comparison the total profit in Brimbank was $66 million.
The other way of assessing the data looks at the proportion of owners who made a profit. Of municipalities wholly within the metropolitan area Knox topped the list with 98.6%. It was followed by Monash on 97.4%, Casey with 96.6% and both Glen Eira and Whitehorse with 96.4%.
Interestingly this demonstrates that through medium to long-term ownership a profit can be found in more than just the most expensive parts of Melbourne.
Key facts
<ul>
<li>35.7% of sellers made a 100% or higher profit 
</li>
<li>Sellers in Boroondara made the highest total profit of $232 million 
</li>
<li>98.6% of sellers in Knox made a profit</li>
</ul>

Boatshed 88 in Rye, dubbed the Entertainer at 88, is on the market.
The <a href="https://www.hockingstuart.com.au/BOATSHED_88_RYE_VIC_3941" target="_blank">generator powered boatshed</a> has a full kitchen sink, a gas stove, cupboards, tables and chairs and a gas BBQ. It also comes with a sun shade and umbrellas.
The boatshed is situated near the Tyrone Boat Ramp.
Mal McIness and Michael Christodoulou of Hocking Stuart are expecting $320,000 for the timber clad boatshed with a timber deck.
That's $9,500 more than the sale price of <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-rye-118149279" target="_blank">29 Highbury Road</a> (pictured below), a two bedroom house in Rye, which sold for $310,500 in November last year.

A boatshed on Safety Beach in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula has been listed for sale.
<a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/boatshed-73-safety-beach-foreshore-safety-beach/Property-Details-buy-residential-8165328" target="_blank">The blue and green boatshed</a> (pictured on the right in the main photograph) comes with a price guide of $185,000 to $210,000.
According to agent Linda Wooley of MJ Ross Co, who is marketing the property, the price range is typical for a boatshed with no power, with those connected to electricity commanding a premium.
Wooley told Property Observer that utility companies rarely reconnect power to bathing boxes or boatsheds once they are disconnected. Those who like to run electricity in their boatsheds, to accommodate lights or small fridges, often use small solar panels.
She noted the steady escalation of boatshed prices in recent years, with the properties generally held for a long time or passed between family members. In 2010, Boatshed 29 on Safety Beach was sold with a $120,000 to $150,000 price guide. Boatshed 43 was sold in the same year, with vendors seeking $110,000 to $130,000.
Boatshed 73 on the Safety Beach Foreshore is available only to rate payers.

Historically speaking, the performance of last year’s rental market in Melbourne was relatively moderate.
In the last three months of 2014 the median advertised rent for a house in Melbourne increased by a minor 0.3% to $448 per week, the opposite to the -0.3% drop in the unit market.
September’s result is reflective of the broader performance of the rental market over 2014 where low rental growth and low yields persisted.
Over the course of 2014 house rents increased by 2.5% and units increased by 1.9%.
For houses, 2014 was not dissimilar to the past five years. On a annualised basis, rents rose by 2.5% in 2013, 1.3% in 2012, 2.7% in 2011. The only year that recorded a substantially different result was 2010 when rents grew 5.5%.
The unit market recorded similar results.
In many respects the rental market is following the changes in value seen in the ownership market. With the exception of the unit market, the last two years were similar and 2010 saw boom-like conditions.
Similar to the ownership market, the biggest question for 2015 is whether the growth in supply in the unit segment will further moderate advertised rents.
Yields remained low. For both units (4.2%) and houses (3.3%) the yield in Melbourne is the lowest of all capital cities. This does not seem to concern investors who are clearly focused on the longer term prospects for capital gains.
Key facts
<ul>
<li>Median advertised rent for a house in Melbourne $448</li>
<li>Median rent for house rise 2.5% in 2014, units 1.9%</li>
<li>Melbourne yields lowest of all capital cities</li>

An inner-city development site, at 70-88 Greville Street and 42 Charles Street in Prahran, has been sold.
The buyer, reportedly a local private developer, paid more than $20 million.
It is a <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-vic-prahran-501340459" target="_blank">2,662 square metre site</a> suitable for a mixed-use residential and retail project. It was the first time offered in 25 years.
For a time The Voluntary Euthanasia Society of Victoria had its office at 70 Greville Street.
The site was listed by Mark Wizel and Jamus Campbell of CBRE City Sales.
More than $23 million has been paid for a full city block in Collingwood too.
The 2010 square metre island site, bounded by Wellington, Langridge, Cambridge and Derby streets, sits within Collingwood’s so-called golden pocket.
“Rewind several years and few people would have expected that land in Collingwood and Prahran would be achieving in excess of $10,000 per square metre,” Wizel said.

The top 10 Melbourne suburbs ranked by growth in house values in 2014 were dominated by some of the cities most expensive suburbs and they were located south of the Yarra.
Overall, the Melbourne housing market produced a near repeat of 2013 with house values rising by 8.4% and units recorded a rise of 1.1% as a result of high levels of supply; particularly in the inner city highrise market.
<a href="/news">Armadale</a>, <a href="/news">Caulfield North</a> and <a href="/news">Kew </a>experienced the highest growth in house values and this is reflective of a number of factors including that the strongest rate of value growth being recorded in the middle and upper segments of the market.
The appearance of <a href="/news">Box Hill</a> in the Top 10 highlights the continual popularity of the group of suburbs around <a href="/news">Balwyn</a> and <a href="/news">Mont Albert</a>. Over the last decade these suburbs have provided the best capital gains for owners. These suburbs have broad appeal for myriad reasons such as close proximity to local amenities such as parks, a range of transport choices, local shopping nodes and accessibility to the central business district.
At a broader level, the fundamentals of the Melbourne property market remain sound. A major contributor to these fundamentals is the positive impact on housing market from supportive monetary policy in the form of a record low interest rate. Furthermore, ongoing strong overseas migration to Victoria and a record high influx of residents moving to the state from the rest of Australia also helps to support housing demand.
House value growth slowed from 3.8% in the September 2014 quarter to just 0.8% over the final quarter of 2014. My big question for the summer and autumn markets is whether this was simply due to higher levels of supply or the start of a softer trend.
