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

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c8b3d2d3-c561-4bfc-a5d9-a68c0c10dac1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da1.png?VersionId=AeAEyJU02Gk2k5noUj2StziCvdQ7fW4B" />

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

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

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

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

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

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

Australia Post is one of the country’s most trusted institutions, powering one of the largest delivery networks in Australia. As online shopping continues to scale, Australians spent a record $82.6 billion online in 2025, with nearly one in four retail dollars now spent online.

That scale of eCommerce activity has fundamentally changed expectations around how and when parcels arrive, and what happens when someone isn't home.

<h3>Problem solved with Parcel Lockers</h3>

The traditional alternatives to home delivery are far from ideal. Buildings can rely on reception teams to manage deliveries, which introduces ongoing staffing costs and liability concerns. Parcels can be left in common areas, which creates security and aesthetic issues. Or residents are redirected to nearby Post Offices for collection, which shifts the inconvenience rather than solving it.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dVG5ChLHf7E?si=D9hQRGCBuzlSQBqK" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The data behind that frustration is significant. Nationally, around 9 per cent of deliveries are carded, meaning the recipient was not home and must collect the parcel from a Post Office. That figure reflects the national average reported between November 2025 and January 2026. In Melbourne, that figure rises to 20 per cent. In high-density living, it climbs again to 28 per cent. In other words, more than one in four deliveries in Melbourne apartment buildings results in a failed first attempt.

<h3>How Parcel Lockers work</h3>

The mechanics are simple. When a parcel arrives, the resident receives a notification either through the Australia Post app or via SMS. They scan a QR code, use their one-time PIN and the compartment opens. The parcel is secure, accessible and removed from the lobby floor.

Located in thoughtfully chosen, easily accessible areas, including external building interfaces, mixed-use precincts or shared communal zones, Parcel Lockers enhance convenience without requiring internal building access or additional operational oversight.

<h3>The scale of the network</h3>

This expansion represents Australia Post's largest investment in parcel infrastructure to date, building on momentum that began in 2011 when the first 24 Parcel Locker sites were introduced.

Today the Australia Post Parcel Locker network spans over 1,400 locations and more than 105,000 individual compartments, with major investment already underway to significantly expand the network further.

<h3>What it means for developers and building operators</h3>

A Parcel Locker bank is free to install and free for residents to use. That removes one of the primary barriers to adoption and shifts the conversation from cost to integration.

Australia Post's preference is to engage with developers during the design phase. That allows Parcel Lockers to be located in a considered, publicly accessible space that works for residents and the broader community. Retrofit is possible, and existing buildings can be assessed, but the strongest results occur when Parcel Lockers are treated as part of the core services plan rather than a bolt-on solution.

While the iconic Australia Post red is widely recognised, Parcel Lockers can also be delivered in more muted palettes such as beige or green to align with architectural intent.

For developers, they offer a tech-forward amenity that meets modern expectations, a reduction in courier congestion and building-management load supporting lower emissions and better ESG outcomes, and a meaningful marketability advantage in high-density, eCommerce-active areas, all at no cost for installation and maintenance, with Australia Post funding the program aside from power access.

<h3>Who's using them</h3>

Generational shopping behaviours show strong, sustained growth across all cohorts. Millennials (27–43) led online spend in 2024, contributing nearly $25 billion. Baby Boomers (60–78) increased their online spend by 17.6 per cent, becoming the fastest-growing adopters. Gen Z (13–26) and Gen X (44–59) continue to lean on delivery services as part of their everyday shopping habits.

Internationally, uptake is even more pronounced. Overseas markets are seeing rapid adoption by both developers and consumers, positioning Parcel Lockers as standard infrastructure in many new residential projects. For Melbourne's development community, this signals a shift in baseline expectations. Just as secure bike storage and dedicated parcel rooms have become more common, integrated Parcel Locker networks may soon be viewed as part of the essential service mix.

<h3>The bigger picture</h3>

Parcel Lockers aren't just a logistics fix. Developers invest heavily in lobby design, materials, lighting and landscaping to shape first impressions. Yet a stack of unattended parcels can undo that effort in an instant. Embedding parcel infrastructure early allows projects to respond to how people actually live today, supporting resident satisfaction, reducing operational strain and aligning with broader community and ESG outcomes.

As Belinda Quinn, Senior Transaction Manager – Retail &amp; Out of Home at Australia Post, puts it, residents increasingly expect delivery solutions that align with real life, are flexible, secure and available whenever they need them.

How Australia Post is solving the parcel problem for apartment living

GUEST OBSERVATION
Watching The Block last night, the end story was that "everyone was a winner".
The renovators won, the buyers agents won and the TV station won with the ratings, despite paying out a television record $3,165,000 in prizes.
Huge prices were paid for all of the St Kilda townhouses, with the winners Darren and Deanne selling for $835,000 over the reserve price of $1,455,000, or 57% more than what the property was valued at prior to the auction.
Winning a property at auction is a great feeling for buyers, with emotions of triumph and relief. In the following days the reality of a mortgage usually sets in and sometimes with varying degrees of buyers remorse.
Paying a huge price for a property would be fine if property markets were on an endless trajectory upwards. With growth in Melbourne and Sydney over the past few years at continually stratospheric heights, it is hard to blame buyers for thinking that growth will be endless.
For those of us who have been in the property industry for a long time, we know that markets rise, fall and also at times remain steady. We have seen many winners make large capital profits, however we have also seen many losers who have paid too much for their properties at the high end of a boom cycle.
Paying a premium amount for a property is less of an issue if the buyer will have no mortgage, however most people purchasing property do have mortgages and in the current market many have been borrowing a large percentage of the property purchase price.
Which brings us back to the large prices paid for the units in The Block. Now that the cameras have moved out and the production crew and media circus have moved on to other entertainment, the buyers will be preparing for the reality of settlement and paying the remainder due.
Is there any ongoing cachet or prestige for previous Block television properties? The answer in most cases is no.
The truth is that these places were renovated by amateurs finishing properties quickly on limited budgets to meet episode deadlines. Many will have repair and maintenance issues to be addressed, and when resold in the years ahead being a Block property is unlikely to be the sales agents main selling point. At that stage buyers will be more interested in the fundamentals of the property including the quality of the fittings and materials, the location, aspect and natural light, floor plan, noise, and the other important features.
As a buyers agent it was particularly disappointing to see the Melbourne buyers agent's conduct at The Block auctions. The approach appeared to be more concerned about "winning" for their clients regardless of the auction bidding increments made and eventual price paid. Professional buyers agents should be acting in the interests of their clients and often that involves advising them not to proceed with a property or to set a measured maximum price.
If bidding at auction on behalf of a client, it is best to not be continually on the phone to your client during the auction as it is harder to keep a poker face and to concentrate properly, and your competition will find it easier to see when you are nearly finished. We suggest clients have a pre-written maximum bidding amount, which means that our client's amount is determined by a proper price analysis on the property rather than being influenced by the frenzied bids of other buyers.

The Block - the real winners and losers: Henry Wilkinson

<html><body>
The new season of Channel 7's reality renovation program, House Rules, returns to our screens next month. And host Johanna Griggs tells Property Observer that the contestants might have it harder this time than they ever have before.
The show, like some of the other competitive reality television programs currently on television, has tended to stack the competing teams with plenty of renovation professionals, whether plumbers, carpenters or cabinet-makers. But in the upcoming season, Griggs says, there is only one tradie among the competitors.
"They're absolute novices," she says. "They're the least experienced renovators that we ever had."
The results of the casting move, Griggs says, weren't always pretty.
"The first reveal, I said, 'oh dear'. The finishes weren't up to standard, and I was a little worried."
As in previous seasons, the contestants hail from all over Australia. House Rules sees the teams renovate each other's homes according to a set of "house rules", with the winning team having their mortgage paid off.
Among the novice competitors are father and daughter duo Steve and Tiana, from Western Sydney. The other teams will be renovating Steve's current house, which Tiana was raised in. Steve, the oldest competitor in this series, raised Tiana in the three bedroom 1960s brick.
The only team with professional trades skills are Bronik and Corinne, from Victoria. Bronik, a carpenter, lives with his girlfriend, Corinne, in the living room of the 1960s weatherboard.  The couple can't afford to renovate the home, which has only one habitable room.
There are no "baddies" among the contestants this season, according to Griggs.
"They're so lovely," she says.
"It's so hard getting the six homes done, and the six gardens, so there's no luxury of casting anyone who's nasty."
Last season, Tasmanian couple Brook and Grant were largely portrayed as villains. This season, the Tasmanian representatives are Cassie and Matt. Cassie says "the pressure is on" after Tasmanian couples were the first to be eliminated in previous seasons.
They live in a 1960s brick home in Hobart. Cassie works as a pharmacist while Matt is a swimming instructor training to be a P.E. teacher.
Ryan, of Adelaide, lives with his girlfriend and teammate Marlee. He purchased the house four years ago alone, and works two jobs to pay for what the couple calls "the ugliest house in Australia". Marlee works as a travel agent, and sees the competition as way to relieve Ryan's workload.
From Western Australia are married couple Karina and Brian, who have three children. Their house in Geraldton, north of Perth, sits on five acres, with ocean and mountain views. Although they bought it with the intention to renovate, they can't afford to make changes to the 1970s Spanish-style villa. At 42 and 44, they are the oldest team in the season.
While Brian does have some professional trades experience as a qualified timber framer, not all the contestants have an easy time at the beginning of the season, with Griggs saying some don't realise to do things like account for flooring when taking measurements for a room.
"With the first reveal, I was quite in shock at the standard, and maybe that's heartening," she said.
But the teams "improve dramatically"over the course of the season, she says. One of the hardest homes this season, she tells Property Observer, is in the first week, with contestants competing with mould and only one livable room. But Griggs says the house, presumably Corinne and Bronik's, has more than just shock value.
"You've got to remember that the man who owns it is the first man in his family who's ever owned his own home. So he's the most proud human being to own that place, and that's what makes it special."
Another house, she says, is obviously the product of an owner-builder "who just decided to rewrite the laws of building". With structural problems, Griggs calls the house "a basket case from start to finish".
While other renovation shows pitch themselves to a luxury market, Griggs says House Rules is more emotional, and relatable.
"The biggest point of difference is that its their own home," says Griggs.
"They're going to have to live in it."
The season premiere of the new season of House Rules airs on Channel 7 on Tuesday, 5 May.

The four renovated Block South Yarra apartments that go to auction this week cost $5.69 million when bought in one line in March last year.
There were three bidders, who pushed it to $570,000 over reserve price.
It was bought by The Block production company, Watercress Productions who faced competition from the omnipresent buyer's agent Frank Valentic.
The onsite auction was conducted by Beller Residential's<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5-96mG0oLs" target="_blank"> auctioneer Robert German</a>.
{qtube vid:=p5-96mG0oLs}
The 27 Darling Street property was a three level brick apartment complex which includes 12 apartments (three two bedroom units, three one bedroom units) with 12 undercover parking spaces.

The Block's South Yarra initial purchase auction

<html><body>
For those hoping to spin a profit from their properties, are The Block apartments really worth it?
Buyer's advocate and Block judge Frank Valentic has successfully bid on more Block apartments than anyone else, and is planning to do so again at next week's Triple Threat auction.
His clients are mostly investors, renting out their fully furnished Block purchases. Valentic has bid on 16 Block apartments in total over the years, securing four for his clients.
The first was in 2011. 39 Cameron Street in Richmond was the winning renovation for Polly and Waz, with Valentic's investor client paying $855,000. Valentic says it remains the Block purchase with the best value, calling it "the steal of the century".
"We bought it in a downturn market," Valentic tells Property Observer.
"The market peaked in April 2010, then went in a downward spiral for the next two and a half years."
A year and a half into that downward spiral, Polly and Waz's renovation appeared. A tenant who's been renting the property for three years pays $975 a week.

The house has been recently valued at $1.1 million, following a resales of neighboring Block properties. <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-richmond-107575775" target="_blank">37 Cameron Street</a>, which was renovated by Josh and Jenna, was purchased for $1 million at the televised auction, and resold in 2013.
Rod and Tania's renovation at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-richmond-114996643" target="_blank">43 Cameron Street</a> also resold in 2013, for $1,038,000. The result was $216,000, or 23.4%, above its 2011 price of $922,000.
The next Block property Valentic secured for a client was the Sky High apartment renovated by Western Australian couple Matt and Kim. The apartment at 201/142 Park Street in South Melbourne cost the buyer $1,455,000. The downsizer originally lived in the apartment, before moving out and renting it for $1,600 a week, or a 5.7% yield.

</ul>
Valentic says his clients are attracted to the rental yields on offer at The Block apartments, with all of the Block investment properties he has secured yielding over 5%. According to SQM Research, the Melbourne implied gross rental yield for a unit is sitting under 4.5%.
"I think The Block itself has a pretty successful formula and the locations they're choosing are blue chip suburbs," says Valentic.
"They are bulletproof suburbs."
Melbourne Block series have been filmed in Prahran, Albert Park, South Yarra, South Melbourne and Richmond.
"You're up there in some of the best 10 suburbs in Melbourne in terms of price growth, demand, amenities, cafes and lifestyle," says Valentic. The tight supply of properties each season also boosts their value.
"It is a boutique block, they're only building four or five," Valentic explains.
"So each has land value – you're buying one quarter of a block of land in South Yarra or Prahran."
Perhaps the most "bulletproof" ofthe Melbourne Block properties so far has been the Dux Theatre in Albert Park, where The Block: Fans v Faves series was filmed. There, the renovators made record profits as Block property <a href="/news/substance-over-style-as-chantelle-and-steve-win-the-block-2014-fans-v-faves">prices reached $2.47 million</a>.  That's how much Valentic bid for the winning apartment, renovated by Steve and Chantelle. Unlike some of his other Block purchases, 1/47 O'Grady St, Albert Park was bought by owner-occupiers – a young couple with a baby.

Valentic again secured the most expensive apartment on offer last season, at The Block Sky High in Prahran. Simon and Shannon's apartment at 4/125 High Street sold for $1.9 million to an investor from Kilsyth, who plans to move in when their kids are older and leave home. Tenants were secured within a week of settlement.

<li>Yield 5.2% (plus $69,000 in depreciation)</li>
</ul>
With the apartment renting out for $1,350 per week and depreciation reaching $69,000, Valentic says his clients are more or less positively geared.
The <a href="/expert-insights/finance/the-block-triple-threats-depreciation-tax-treat-for-investors">tax benefit</a> that comes with purchasing newly renovated, fully furnished apartments is a major cash flow boost for investors.
And although the judges may put a big premium on the rugs and fancy furniture that litter the Block properties, Valentic says the $120,000 or so worth of furnishing aren't a priority for his clients. Instead, they're interested in capital growth, rental returns, and their costs.
"That's what my investors are looking for," says Valentic. "Buying in a bulletproof suburb where you find cash flow positive properties."
Note: This article originally incorrectly stated that Simon and Shannon's apartment was being rented for $1350 per week. This error has been corrected.

GUEST OBSERVATION
When The Block’s Buyers Jury looked at contestants’ staircases and studies, there was plenty potential for improvement.
With small timeframes, the contestants struggled to finish. However, the scores were a major reflection on what happens when Blockheads present judges with unfinished rooms.
The silver lining of seeing unfinished rooms was that we were able to quickly identify issues that buyers may have with the structure and potential use of the spaces.
<img src="/images/2015/04/22/Judges%20and%20Shelly%20on%20stairs.jpg" alt="">
For instance, I felt déjà vu when entering Tim &amp; Anastasia’s breakaway space. It was definitely an opportunity lost when they didn’t capitalise on the large area given. If they had instead turned the lounge into another bedroom, they would have created a point of difference that may have attracted an increased price with the buyers come auction day.
Dea &amp; Daz would have also benefit by thinking about the functionality of their study’s space and how people would use it as a home office.
Something else that could have been reconsidered were Charlotte &amp; Josh’s shutters in their study, as they were an expensive choice that may put off investors. Because of the positioning of their desks, the shutters were an impractical aesthetic feature that served little function. On top of that, because the shutters were in a position that made them hard to clean, it could mean that maintaining them can be a potential drain on the hip pocket.
As auction day fast approaches, it would be interesting to see how much of our advice the contestants have taken on.
Contestant scores from the Buyers Jury:
<ul>
<li>Charlotte &amp; Josh – 21.5</li>
<li>Tim &amp; Anastasia – 11.5</li>
<li>Ayden &amp; Jess - 27</li>
<li>Dea &amp; Daz - 15</li>
</ul>

When ‘form over function’ doesn’t pay off: The Block's Greville Pabst

<html><body>
Australia's most expensive residential land market is the Richmond-Tweed region in New South Wales.
The latest HIA-CoreLogic RP Data Residential Land Report provided by the Housing Industry Association and CoreLogic RP Data, signals a growing divide between demand and available supply in vacant residential land.
“The number of residential land sales fell by 11.8% over the year to the December 2014 quarter,” said HIA chief economist, Harley Dale.
“In contrast, the weighted median residential land value increased by 2.8% in the December 2014 quarter to be up by 6.3% over the year.
“The increase in the weighted median value was driven primarily by Sydney, with significant growth also evident for Perth and Melbourne. As with all aspects of this housing cycle, there are wide divergences in land market conditions around the country – this is clearly evident across the six capital cities and 41 regional areas covered in the Residential Land Report.
“There is insufficient shovel-ready land in some markets and this is placing undue upward pressure on residential land values. Construction of detached houses looks to be peaking for the cycle, but there is unrealised demand out there because of that lack of readily available and affordable land."
According to CoreLogic RP Data research director, Tim Lawless, the number of vacant residential land sales has been trending lower since mid-2013 and concurrently, median land prices have been rising to new record highs.
“The opposing trends are a clear sign that demand is outweighing supply which is pushing land prices higher.
"Higher land prices ultimately lead to less affordable homes - it is the high cost of vacant land which significantly contributes to the increasing cost of housing.
"Ideally we should be seeing more land brought to the market and sold during this period of low borrowing costs.” 
<img src="/images/2015/04/21/hia-april-21-one.jpg" alt="">
Australia's least expensive land markets can be found in the South East region of South Australia, and the Mersey-Lyell and Southern regions of Tasmania.

Australia's most expensive (and cheapest) regional land markets

The three buyer's agents who have been providing advice to the contestants on The Block Triple Threat are in a unique position.
Usually tasked with representing potential buyers, Greville Pabst, Nicole Jacobs and Frank Valentic have also been helping out the vendors, the Channel 9 television series production company giving advice to the contestants each week on what buyers value in a home.
When <a href="/expert-insights/building/leading-melbourne-buyers-agents-join-the-block-triple-threat">it was announced</a> at the beginning of this season that the buyer's advocates would be joining the show, many speculated that the move was intended to prevent a repeat of last season's dismal auction results.
However, although at least two of the three buyer's agents will be representing bidders at the auction on 28 April, they insist there is no conflict of interest.
Nicole Jacobs, the founder of Jacobs Buyer Advocates, tells Property Observer that the situation is not too different from a buyer's advocates usual duties.
"Each week we gave advice as buyer advocates as to whether the couples were meeting the expectations of the South Yarra market; finishes, floor plan and fixtures," said Jacobs.
"All the couples engaged selling agents early on in the process. This campaign is no different to any other where we might be asked for advice or for feedback from a selling agent (acting for their vendor) on what we think about the property from a buyer's perspective."
The Real Estate Buyers Agent Association of Australia (REBAA) defines buyer's agents as "licensed professionals who specialize in searching, locating, evaluating and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of buyers".
"They do not sell real estate," reads the REBAA website. "They are engaged independently and paid for by the buyer to act on their behalf. The key difference between a selling agent and buyer's agent is who they represent as, by law, an agent cannot act for and accept a commission from both parties in the same transaction."
Paul Bird of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) says the role of the buyer's agents as judges does not quite reflect a selling agent's role.
"Under the estate agents act, you can't act as both a selling agent and a buyer's agent concurrently," says Bird.
"But this particular example is a little bit different, in that with The Block, there are some people who are giving a bit of advice to those who are looking to put the properties to market. It's really just a bit of interior design and other advice by these people."
"It is slightly different to acting as both a selling agent and a buying agent," Bird explains.
"If you were employed by the vendor to sell a house and you were wanting to bid at auction or have an associate bid on the auction, it would be a breach of the [Estate Agents Act 1980]."
He says the situation is "slightly outside of the standard clarity in the Act around being both a selling agent and a buyer's agent."
Greville Pabst clarifies that the contestants are not the actual vendors, although they stand to profit from participating in The Block. "Our role on the show is very specific – help the contestants maximise the appeal of their properties to prospective buyers," says Pabst.
"More interest in the properties means greater competition, which may result in a better sales result for the properties, and hence what contestants walk away with on auction day. However, it is important to acknowledge that in this case the vendor is in fact Watercress Productions, not the contestants."
Advantage Property Consulting's Frank Valentic, who has successfully bid on multiple Block properties before, will be attempting to do so again later this month. He notes the separation of his role as a Block judge and his role as a buyer's advocate, with his judging role wrapping up before Christmas.
"From Christmas my hat was on as a buyer's advocate," says Valentic. Jacobs also says she is well and truly working only as a buyer's agent in the lead up to the auction," she says.
"We are now focusing on pre-auction meetings with our clients and sharing with them the extensive research that we have done on each of the asset classes within the South Yarra market so they can make a fully informed decision."
Valentic explains how his judging role worked last year.
"All we're really doing is coming on and giving some tips from the buyer's perspective from what the buyers are looking for," he said.
"They've still got their selling agents guiding them and representing them."
His clients will have their budgets come auction day and he will be set on securing the properties for the best prices, while "the agents are going to be trying to sell at the highest price," says Valentic.
According to Pabst, he's received "a lot of interest" from potential buyers, especially investors. "My role as a Buyers' Advocate is to advise my clients on how to select and successfully purchase property that will deliver high capital growth. What I can tell you is we have received a lot of interest from a number of potential buyers, particularly investors due to the tax depreciation and the rental income potential of each of the four South Yarra apartments.
"While the Buyers Jury provided guidance to Block contestants throughout the renovations, on auction day we represent the buyers and their best interests"
At the end of the day, says Jacobs, the buyer's agents are only there for the buyers.
"We hope all the couples get the outcome they are looking for but ultimately, we are there to represent our buyers' interests," she says.

No conflict of interest over judging, say Block South Yarra buyer's agents

If you're interested in buying the townhouse renovated by Deanne and Darren on The Block Triple Threat, you can expect to pay $1,654,000, according to price prediction website realAs.
The website has released its predictions for the upcoming South Yarra auctions, which are based on a tightly-held algorithm.
Deanne and Darren's renovation at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-townhouse-vic-south+yarra-119444079" target="_blank">4/27 Darling Street</a> (pictured above) is likely to be the most expensive of the four properties, with an advertised price of $1.5 million.
RealAs predicts the next most expensive to be Josh and Charlotte's at 1/27 Darling Street. It tips the triple storey townhouse will go for $1.55 million, with an advertised price of $1.4 million.
Jess and Ayden and Tim and Anastasia's apartments seem to be neck and neck, with RealAs predicting a $1,446,000 price tag for Tim and Anastasia's at <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/for-sale/27-darling-street-south-yarra-vic-3141-2011881553" target="_blank">2/27 Darling Street</a>. Jess and Ayden's <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-townhouse-vic-south+yarra-119448343" target="_blank">unit three</a> is only $20,000 behind, at $1,426,000, despite the $100,000 price gap between their quoted prices.
<ul>
<li>1/27 Darling St:</li>
</ul>
Agent quote: $1.4 million RealAs: $1.55 million
<ul>
<li>2/27 Darling St:</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>4/27 Darling St:</li>
</ul>
Agent quote: $1.5 million RealAs: $1.654 million
According to RealAs, their average prediction is within 5% of the final sale price of properties, and close to 90% of their predictions fall within a 10% margin of the final sale price.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.news.com.au/finance/real-estate/the-block-townhouses-tipped-to-sell-for-15m-plus/story-fndba8uq-1227298820902" target="_blank">News Corp earlier this week</a>, Wakelin Property Advisory director Paul Nugent also backed Deanne and Darren's apartment to take out the highest price, pricing it between $1.6 million and $1.8 million.

Darren and Dee's renovation tipped to top The Block and sell for more than $1.6 million

GUEST OBSERVATION
The two rooms that make the biggest impact on potential buyers are the bathroom and kitchen.
The Block last night saw the Buyers’ Jury inspecting contestant’s kitchens, which ranged from modern glamour to stylishly practical.
The kitchen is a place of gathering, where families can congregate and spend a lot of their time together. This is what makes them so integral to the living space.
Ensuring the kitchen fits in well with the rest of the house is integral to how attractive a property is to buyers.
Ayden &amp; Jess’ and Tim &amp; Anastasia’s connecting terrace featured a very on trend indoor-outdoor kitchen area. Ayden &amp; Jess had a particularly good flow between the living room and the kitchen, which worked to increase the property’s warmth. Both kitchens are likely to attract the attention of potential buyers thanks to their innovative approach.
What renovators can also learn from the Blockhead’s kitchens is to be mindful of balancing style and practicality.
Tiling and grout in the kitchen is just that little more difficult and expensive to maintain, which can sometimes be a turn off for potential buyers. In some kitchens, using tiles as a replacement for splashback was a great aesthetic feature, however can potentially put off buyers looking to keep investment portfolio at the lowest possible cost to maintain.
Ayden &amp; Jess’s clever use of a butler pantry added incredible value to the kitchen as it provides space and hides appliances. Their open shelving is also on trend – a great little tip for budding renovators.
Here is what the buyers’ advocates thought of the contestants’ kitchens:
<ul>
<li>Charlotte &amp; Josh – 22.5</li>
<li>Tim &amp; Anastasia – 20.5</li>
<li>Ayden &amp; Jess – 25.5</li>
<li>Dea &amp; Daz (pictured above) – 28</li>

Kitchen and bathrooms make the biggest impact on buyers: The Block's Greville Pabst

<div class="cq-article-content-paras section">
The NSW Land and Environment Court has made a ruling on minimum apartment sizes which developers dread could have implications for project profits.
The decision, Botany City Council v Botany Developments Pty Ltd (No 2), was handed down by Justice Sheehan last week after council was represented by L&amp;E Court veteran Tim Hale SC.
It ruled that the larger sizes set out in State Environmental Planning Policy 65 were the most appropriate for residential flat design for the 72-86 Bay Street project. The property had been bought from UNSW for $7.1 million in 2011.
It shocked the industry as smaller apartment sizes have been typically accepted by the industry and consent authorities.
</div>
<div class="cq-article-content-paras section">
Currently developers operate under the "rule of thumb" that the minimum size for a one-bedroom apartment internal space is 50 square metres.
But the court ruled the minimum was too small.
Bigger apartment rules will affect unit mix and apartment types, project feasibilities, and the general layout and design of apartment projects.
The Botany case was over a proposed development of 158 apartments, where some apartments fell below the official rules by a square metre or two.
</div>
<div class="cq-article-content-paras section">
The proposed apartment sizes, with one-bedroom units at between 50.7 square metres (internal and 8 square metre balcony) and 67.5 square metres plus balcony, did not meet the minimum standards of Botany City's Development Control Plan and Botany City rejected the proposal.
The developer went to the Land and Environment Court and won in January 2014 because the sizes exceeded those set out in the state environmental planning policy's rules of thumb.
But Botany Council then appealed that decision, arguing at the May 2104 hearing that the key metric was the residential flat development code table, not the rules of thumb. 
Their appeal asserted that the Commissioner erred in granting consent for a development in which the unit sizes did not meet the minimums prescribed in The City of Botany Bay Development Control Plan 2013 (“the DCP”) where dwellings within residential flat buildings must be designed to provide the following minimum internal areas:
<ul>
<li>studio: 60m²</li>
<li>1 bedroom: 75m²</li>
<li>2 bedrooms: 100m²</li>
<li>3 bedrooms: 130m²</li>
<li>4 bedrooms: 160m²</li>
</ul>
Dwelling size means the area inside the enclosing walls of a dwelling but excludes wall thickness, vents, ducts, staircases and lift wells.
It was common ground that the apartments do not meet these unit sizes as the development was comprised of 1 bedroom units of areas between 50.7m² and 67.5m², its two bedroom units between 78.1m² and 93.8m², and the bedroom units between 98.1m² to 98.9m².
