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

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

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

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

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

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

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

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

<div class="tg-tlc-storybody_intro">
Having pocketed a stellar $24.5 million from the sale of their Newport waterfront home, Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall could have bought anything they fancied on the ­Central Coast.
</div>
But rather than head closer to family, as initially touted, the glamorous couple appear set to remain for the time being on Sydney’s northern beaches, where they have always done so well — both on the ocean and Pittwater.
The unconfirmed whisper is they found an amazing opportunity at Whale Beach. Maybe the restoration of Rocca Bella, a 1950s time warp?
The three storey house is set on 3300sqm, the peninsula’s largest oceanfront estate.
The estate was sold last month for $6.95 million, two weeks after Hawkins’ and Wall’s own sale of Casa Paloma to Mike and Annie Cannon-Brookes through Christie’s International agent Ken Jacobs.
Rocca Bella, best known when owned by the late ­soprano Dame Joan Sutherland, was listed in 2018 by the Tarabay family with $8 million hopes, then ­returned to the market with reduced expectations earlier this year through LJ Hooker agent David Edwards.
This article was first published in the Sunday Telegraph.

Hart House, at Great Mackerel Beach, has sold for a record equalling $3.3 million.
<div class="story-content">
Located just 10 metres from the ocean, the home was built by Nick and Louisa Hart after they paid $900,000 to buy entrepreneur Sam Ballas’s 630 square metre building block in 2014.
The Casey Brown design ­delivers the illusion from inside that the house is floating on the water, while the rear has views of the bush landscape.
Adjoining Ku-ring-gai Chase ­National Park, the building block had been bought by Ballas for $760,000 in 2001 from architect Lawrence Neild, who had paid $143,000 in 1986.
It was the same year when the ­retired corporate raider Sir Ron Brierley bought his longtime holiday home for $430,000.
The latest sale through LJ Hooker agent Peter Robinson matched the strip’s highest price 15 doors away in 2006 paid by Warwick White, the former managing director of Coca-Cola Amatil.
The highest in the interim was $2.7 million in 2009.
The futurist Anders Sorman-Nilsson, with his fiance, Nicole Banning, the designer-founder of Ephemera, bought the last weekender property that fetched more than $1 million last year.
Of the 100 homes, there are just 32 located on the “dress circle”. With access only by boat, listings are typically low and sales are slow.
Local agent Kathryn Hall has the latest shoreline listing.

Hart House at Great Mackerel Beach fetches $3.3 million

<html><body>
The Sydney glamour couple Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall are the rumoured buyers of the prized oceanfront Rocca Bella estate at Whale Beach.
The oceanfront estate involves a huge renovation project ahead if it is the couple who recently secured the bullish $24.5 million sale of their home on Pittwater.
Rocca Bella was listed after its Point Piper-based owner Lorraine Tarabay decided not to proceed with ambitious new weekender plans.
It was offloaded for $6.95 million last month.
It previously sold in 2015 for $6.9 million, five years after the death of the soprano Dame Joan Sutherland.
On the peninsula’s largest oceanfront estate of 3300 square metres, the three-storey house remains in a 1950s time warp.
It had traded in 1977 for $167,000, but was seldom used by Sutherland and her widower conductor Richard Bonynge, who called Montreux, Switzerland, home along with a bolt hole in Potts Point.
It was 1990 when the opera world’s La Stupenda took her last standing ovation after an operatic career spanning almost five decades.
There are approved Campbell Architecture plans available for the next buyer.
The works cost for the four-pavilion home were estimated by architect Hugh Campbell to total $3.6 million, and would include gardens designed by Hugh Main at Spirit Level Landscapes. Also reinstated would be the overgrown tennis court.
Rocca Bella was listed back in late 2018 with $8 million hopes then returned to the market with revised $7.5 million hopes last February through LJ Hooker Palm Beach’s David Edwards.
The billionaire Atlasssian co-founder Michael Cannon-Brookes and wife, Annie were the mystery buyers of Casa Paloma, the Newport waterfront home of Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall.
It sold in late June the last days of what was the quietest of financial years for prestige sales having been listed with $20 million hopes.
It sold for $24.5 million, a new record for the northern beaches after a spike of buyer interest through Christie's International selling agent Ken Jacobs.
The prior highest sale was when the late Sam Chisholm’s Palm Beach home was sold to Caledonia fund manager Mike Messara for $24 million in February. 
It took the glamorous couple eight months to secure their buyer of Casa Paloma, which many inspectees suggested was the best built home on the pricey peninsula.
The four-level residence, designed by Koichi Takada on its 3360 square metre holding, sold just two days before June 30, and just short of three years after they moved in.

The 26 year old gamer Elliott Watkins, one of Australia's biggest gaming personalities, has spent $9,125,000 in Tamarama.
It was the first time in nearly four decades the home traded having been long owned by the cinematographer Peter James.
The three bed home was designed by Peter Stronach of architecture firm Allen Jack+Cottier on its 580 sqm Thompson Street block.
It has a pool, library, lower level lounge, study and cellar.

Burradoo House, the recently upgraded 1920s residence in the Southern Highlands, has been sold by tourism entrepreneur Rose Deo for $5.4 million.
It was bought by Gavin Cooke and Hyun Choi, who founded the data and analytics business, Altis.
Deo's $5.38 million purchase in 2017 ranked as the highest price paid in Burradoo.
The listing has been a $2000 a night holiday letting on Matt Fleming’s Contemporary Hotels Group website.
The buyers of the English-style country house, from Sydney’s north shore, recently visited as a family for the day. Nestled on one hectare of parkland gardens originally designed by Claude and Isobel Crowe, Burradoo House has six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a library and a two-­storey glass conservatory.
Its onsite caretaker had organised fresh flowers throughout the house, lit candles, ensured the underfloor heating was on and that the fire­places were laid so they were ready to be lit on the family’s 7.30am ­arrival.
They were “absolutely bewitched” by the experience and it sealed the deal, Knight Frank agent Deborah Cullen said. She added that the coronavirus lockdown had led many of her clients to re-evaluate how they spend their family holidays as they now realise that international travel will not be possible for the foreseeable future.
No word on whether Deo secured her desired fresh record price, but the nearby heritage-listed Anglewood House has hit the market with $8.25 million hopes.
Owned by the businessman Val­dis Berzins since 1998, the 13-bedroom, nine-bathroom Queen Anne arts and craft residence was constructed in 1890 for Arthur Smith, secretary of public works in the Sir Henry Parkes government.

Internationally recognised abstract painter Michael Johnson and his wife ­Margot have sold their grand Paddington terrace, Cawdor.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom terrace with 3m-high ceilings was listed with a $4.3 million asking price. There has been no price reveal, but prospective buyers were being advised late this week the 1880s terrace was set to fetch a little over $4 million.
The home is lined with large paintings on almost every wall. There is a bohemian feel throughout the home that harks back to the loft-living aesthetics of New York, where Johnson lived during the early 1970s.
The 162 sqm property ­includes a studio where he painted the work Oceania high low that won him the 2014 Wynne Prize for the best landscape painting of Australian scenery.
The Bent St property was sold to the ­couple for $2,235,000 in 2012, and has since been extensively renovated. It features include a French marble fireplace, and French doors opening into a modern kitchen and an entertainer’s deck.
Johnson and his wife have ­decided to spend more time at their country property and a Woollahra bolthole.
Paddington’s latest listing is a Stewart St home, redesigned by the late architect Ken Woolley, which has hit the market with a $4.5 million buyer’s guide.
The three-bedroom was purchased by Woolley and his widow, Virginia, in 1995 for $730,000.
BresicWhitney agent Emily ­Davidson has it listed for September 19 auction.
Woolley, who died in 2015, was a leading figure in a romantic architectural movement referred to as Sydney School.
Paddington currently has 33 properties for sale, with a median terrace price over the past year of $2,440,500. Based on five years of sales, Paddington has seen a compound growth rate of 7.9 per cent for houses.

Financier Michael Wayne and his fashionista fiancee Nadia Fairfax could soon be living in the $4 million Paddington terrace Cawdor. No confirmation to her 188,000 followers, however.

But the Paddington grapevine suggests Wayne, the managing director at financial services firm Medallion Financial Group, and Fairfax secured the 1880s terrace before its scheduled auction.

Cawdor was sold by the abstract painter Michael Johnson and his wife ­Margot, who had paid $2,235,000 in 2012.

Fairfax keeps most of their private life off her social media, with little known about Wayne, who offers private wealth advisory services, with a focus on the equity and fixed income markets, both locally and ­internationally.

He stepped down from his directorship at the Sydney Jewish Museum last year.

Former Manly Sea Eagle Anthony Watmough and his wife, former model Elle Mc­Leod, have bought back into the northern beaches market.

They have secured a four-bedroom Fairlight home for $2,050,000.

Watmough, who played 278 games for the Sea Eagles, made the purchase after selling their transformed North Curl Curl home.

Their latest purchase won’t require too much renovation work this time as it was marketed by LJ Hooker selling agents as an inspired contemporary take on a classic 1900s beach house.

The reinvented single-level cottage, which delivers a ­relaxed retreat for year-round entertaining on its 250 sqm block, had been listed with $2.2m hopes.

It comes with an al fresco space with built-in barbecue. It last sold at $1,776,000 in 2015.

The NRL legend was in the news when his Sydney CBD restaurant Cubby’s Kitchen briefly closed earlier this month after an unknowing COVID-19 infected diner had visited the Lebanese ­restaurant.

Fairlight has 15 properties currently listed for sale, ­according to realestate.com.au.

The median house price over the past year sits at $2,323,000, and based on five years of sales, Fairlight has seen a compound growth rate of 6 per cent for houses.

Hospitality industry recruiters Rick Harasty and Alice Liew had $7 million price hopes for the auction of their Bondi Beach apartment on Saturday.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom sub-penthouse has 209 sqm space in The Empire complex on Campbell Pde, Bondi Beach.
The only bid was $6.1m, with Simon Exleton of McGrath then placing a $7m vendor bid. 
It comes with 18m of window overlooking the beach, and a double garage. The now-consolidated apartments cost $305,000 in 1995.
A two-bedroom apartment on the lower floor in the block, which cost $65,000 in 1995, recently sold for $2.45m.
It is the same block where former Neighbours star Jason Donovan sold an apartment for $2.2m last November to the Rothwell family.

Retired NRL legend Greg Inglis continues to shuffle his property portfolio, with the sale of an investment property at Botany.
The former South Sydney Rabbitoh secured $911,000 for the two-bedroom townhouse.
His superannuation fund had bought it for $850,000 in 2015 when it had been a $640-a-week rental.
Inglis offloaded his former Coogee home for $2,475,000 in August last year. He had bought the Coogee semi after his move from Melbourne at the end of the 2010 season.
He paid $1.1 million for what was then a two-bedroom federation home and then transformed the property into a three-level, four-bedroom home, behind its period facade.
The Kempsey-born star, who ­intends to come out of retirement for Warrington in next year’s UK Super League, appears on the ABC’s Australian Story on Monday addressing his challenges with mental health issues.
