The Victorian Government has secured the passage of the Building Legislation and Treasury Legislation (Tax Relief) Amendment Bill 2026, introducing a suite of reforms aimed at improving consumer protection and confidence in the apartment market.

Resilience Insurance, Australia’s leading Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) provider, has welcomed the move.

The LDI elements of the Bill passed with bipartisan support and now moves to the Legislative Council where debate and passage are expected later this month. It represents a significant milestone in the national shift toward stronger, longer-term protection for apartment buyers.&nbsp;

The reform would deliver practical benefits across the housing system. Apartment owners will have stronger protection if major defects emerge, developers and builders will have a clearer quality framework to work within, and the State will reduce the risk of serious building failures becoming a long-term financial and social burden for households, communities and government.&nbsp;

LDI helps support apartment delivery while providing stronger protection for buyers and encouraging better construction outcomes.&nbsp;

Resilience LDI provides apartment owners with 10 years of insurance-backed cover for major structural defects from completion, with direct claim access to the insurer. This means owners are not required to first pursue developers or builders through costly legal action before accessing protection.&nbsp;

Resilience Insurance has been operating in Australia since 2022 and has already insured hundreds of development projects covering many thousands of apartments across Australia.&nbsp;

At approximately 1.8 per cent of build cost, it is a cost-competitive alternative to the traditional two per cent Strata Bond, bond while delivering significantly broader and longer protection.&nbsp;

“The Victorian Lower House vote shows that reforms like this succeed when they are practical, evidence-based and supported by industry," says Corey Nugent, CEO of Resilience Insurance.

"Victoria is moving quickly on a reform that will make a real difference for apartment buyers, while supporting better building outcomes and greater confidence in apartment delivery.

“This is step one. We look forward to the Bill completing its passage through the Legislative Council and to working with government and industry to implement the framework effectively.”&nbsp;

Fast Facts: What is Resilience LDI?&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Resilience Latent Defects Insurance (LDI): Covers major structural defects for 10 years from completion.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Consumer-first: Direct claim access, no need for lengthy legal action.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Cost advantage: At approximately 1.8% of build cost, LDI is typically priced below the traditional 2% Strata Bond while offering broader protection.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Market leader: Resilience Insurance is the first approved LDI provider in NSW.</li>
</ul>

The Building Legislation and Treasury Legislation (Tax Relief) Amendment Bill 2026 has passed the Victorian Lower House, putting Victoria on track to become the first state to legislate an industry workable LDI framework as a formal alternative to the Strata Building bond.

10-year Latent Defects Insurance for new apartment buyers set to land in Victoria

Just a few months after acquiring a prime Broadbeach site on the corner of First Avenue and Surf Parade, family-run developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/raptis">Raptis</a> has filed fresh plans for a new apartment development.

Raptis is seeking to deliver a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/17-19-first-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4217">29-storey tower with 73 apartments</a> on the 818 sqm site. It will be the developer's seventh project in the suburb, as they are approaching completion of The Sterling on George Avenue.

There will be a pool, barbecue and outdoor dining area, residents lounge and dining, sauna and steam room, gym, and a Yoga and Pilates studio.

<img alt="Raptis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b554da3f-7344-49aa-b1c9-44cf459af0d7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-05%20at%2010.41.45%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zzjWu1iO1wnuYv4EV4fyOyf5nSXjGYut" />

Raptis Joint Managing Director, Evan Raptis, says they remain&nbsp;committed to developing quality infill sites across the Gold Coast in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

"This project continues our long track record of delivery in Broadbeach, and we look forward to bringing another premium development to this thriving precinct."

The announcement follows strong delivery momentum for Raptis, with The Sterling Broadbeach nearing completion and construction well underway on the final stage of the Waterpoint community adjacent to Harbour Town. The developer's continued investment in the Gold Coast reflects confidence in the region's apartment market fundamentals, underpinned by sustained Southeast Queensland population growth.&nbsp;

The outlook for the region is further bolstered by infrastructure investment tied to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, which is expected to drive continued economic and population growth across the SEQ corridor.&nbsp;

Subject to a favourable response from Gold Coast City Council, construction on the new First Avenue tower is targeted to commence before the end of 2026.&nbsp;

Brisbane development veteran Kevin Seymour's Seymour Group is set to deepen its presence on one of Brisbane's most tightly held riverfront addresses, lodging revised plans for a luxury apartment development on Oxlade, just a few doors down from The Oxlade, which it completed in 2024.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/70-72-oxlade-drive-new-farm-qld-4005">new project at 70-72 Oxlade Drive</a>, directly north of The Oxlade, will have 27 apartments across a seven-storey building&nbsp;overlooking the Brisbane River and Merthyr Park. It's a revision from a 2021-approved design.

Designed by bureau^proberts, the project has evolved from the previously approved 26-apartment scheme, introducing an additional penthouse level while maintaining a low-density, boutique character. The development will comprise 26 three-bedroom apartments and a single four-bedroom penthouse, supported by two basement levels with 86 car spaces and 34 bicycle spaces.

The architectural response is centred around two distinct building forms separated by a landscaped open-air atrium.&nbsp;"This dual composition captures and embraces Brisbane’s subtropical environment whilst breaking down built form and scale," the submission to the Brisbane City Council noted.

<img alt="First look: Seymour Group returns to Oxlade Drive with revised riverfront apartment plans in New Farm" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c12d84d0-bc11-4067-b46f-5bd2d786a34d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/new%20farm%20landscape.png?VersionId=YEPc2k5CAdh6aAPlu4uVpgZadh4MEfRd" />

A defining feature of the design is a deep landscaped void running through the centre of the building, creating what bureau^proberts describes as a "natural ravine" that enhances airflow, daylight penetration and resident amenity. The design report notes that the separation of the two building volumes is intended to maximise natural light, cross-ventilation and outlook while strengthening connections to the surrounding riverfront setting.

Curved balcony edges, integrated planting and extensive landscaping throughout the façade reinforce the subtropical design approach. The building's façade is softened by elevated gardens and planter beds, creating a green edge that complements the established landscape character of Oxlade Drive and neighbouring Merthyr Park.

New Farm has become one of Brisbane's most sought-after suburbs for developers delivering premium downsizer-focused apartments.

GRAYA has been particularly active in the precinct, completing both Chalk and York in recent years, while construction of Moray House, being delivered for Spyre, is now nearing completion. Architect-turned-developer Joe Adsett recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/arcilla-new-farm-by-joe-adsett-28-maxwell-street-new-farm-qld-4005">Arcilla on Maxwell Street</a>, an exclusive collection of just nine apartments.

A new residential tower will be the first piece of a broader mixed-use precinct set to reshape a prominent Newcastle West site, with local developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> bringing its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/cambridge-quarter-newcastle-west-12-denison-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Cambridge Quarter</a> vision to market.

The first release, Tempo, will introduce 87 apartments across a 24-storey tower, marking Stage 1 of the residential component of a larger urban regeneration project planned for the western end of Newcastle's city centre, encompassing the former Cambridge Hotel site.

Positioned on Denison Street, Tempo has been designed as the inaugural building within Cambridge Quarter, a precinct that will ultimately combine apartments, retail activation and revitalised public spaces including the revamping of the Cambridge Hotel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368853]

The tower will comprise a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including layouts with multipurpose rooms, catering to a broad cross-section of owner-occupiers. Apartment sizes range from around 60 sqm to 192 sqm, with a number of residences oriented to capture views across Newcastle Harbour, the city skyline and coastline.

GWH has emphasised liveability in the design, with open-plan layouts extending to generous balconies and terraces. Residents will have a choice of two interior palettes, while specifications include engineered stone benchtops, SMEG appliances, full-height bathroom tiling and secure building access. Premium upgrade packages will also be available.

Multiple rooftop resident retreats will provide communal outdoor space overlooking the harbour and city, offering an elevated amenity layer above the activity of the precinct below.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368851]

The broader Cambridge Quarter vision extends beyond the residential tower itself. Ground-level retail activation and landscaped public areas are planned throughout the precinct, creating a walkable neighbourhood environment connected to the surrounding renewal of Newcastle West. The Cambridge Hotel is also earmarked for future redevelopment into a family-friendly hospitality venue integrated with the new precinct.

The project is strategically positioned within walking distance of Newcastle Interchange, providing access to light rail, regional rail services and direct connections to Sydney. Residents will also be close to Honeysuckle, Newcastle Harbour and the city's beaches and coastal walkways.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368852]

For GWH, Cambridge Quarter represents one of its most significant Newcastle developments to date. The locally based developer, which has operated in the Hunter region since 1995, describes the project as a new chapter in the ongoing transformation of Newcastle West.

GWH Executive Director Jonathan Craig said the project had been shaped by a focus on creating lasting community connections.

"We take pride in creating places that last. Spaces where people feel connected, comfortable and a genuine sense of belonging," Craig said.

"Cambridge Quarter is something we are truly proud of, a place shaped by local knowledge, built with care and designed to be part of Newcastle's next chapter."

GWH unveils first release at landmark Cambridge Quarter precinct in Newcastle West

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ss-projects">S&amp;S Projects</a>,&nbsp;Rainbow Bay's busiest developer,&nbsp;has officially lodged plans for the largest development in its booming local portfolio, seeking approval for a further 88 apartments on Boundary Street.

The proposal&nbsp;at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/209-213-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">209–213 Boundary Street, Coolangatta</a>,&nbsp;marks the next chapter in the developer's transformation of the southern Gold Coast beachside precinct. It will be its fifth in the area, having already delivered Flow, Awaken and Esprit, while construction continues on the 38-apartment Radia. The new project would rise 57 metres above a consolidated 1,518 sqm site, on the same street as Radia and Esprit.

&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker</a>, the proposed development comprises 88 two and three-bedroom apartments across a contemporary podium-and-tower form that integrates extensive landscaping from street level through to the rooftop.

The tower would be delivered above a basement and multi-level podium accommodating resident and visitor parking, with the residential component commencing from level three. The design incorporates cascading planting throughout the façade, landscaped podium edges, and deep planting zones along the Boundary Street frontage.

<img alt="First look: S&amp;S Projects lodges plans for 88-apartment wellness tower at Coolangatta's Boundary Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="677e6615-b5c0-4b6c-b4f9-efb14fcde1a6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ss%20da%20pers.png?VersionId=YOnPKQm7IFXv0M5H326djEpxk80500Hi" />

A key feature of the development is its expansive rooftop wellness and recreation precinct. Plans reveal a resort-style pool deck, gymnasium, sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, rooftop terraces, barbecue areas and landscaped relaxation spaces positioned to capture views across the southern Gold Coast coastline.

The rooftop wellness focus builds on the vision S&amp;S Projects first outlined when it acquired the site for $20.25 million last year.

"We are taking every advantage to create a truly unique rooftop wellness experience with a natural feel for residents, offering stone features throughout and an underlying theme that emulates a botanical garden," S&amp;S Projects founder and director Paul Gedoun said at the time.

The proposal seeks a 57-metre building height, representing a 50 per cent uplift on the site's mapped 38-metre height limit. Planning documents argue the additional height is consistent with recently approved and emerging towers in the immediate Boundary Street and Rainbow Bay precinct.

Urbis, acting as planning consultant, said the development would provide "88 dwellings, comprising a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, contributing to housing choice and supply within an established medium to high-rise coastal urban neighbourhood."

The scheme has undergone extensive pre-lodgement consultation with the City of Gold Coast, with the design refined following feedback relating to architectural expression, landscaping, traffic access and podium treatment.

<img alt="S&amp;S" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a2d70fd-62ac-4b83-97c6-b798fc1243dd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-05%20at%209.16.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=yHmghUwKM3IVGpBktQU1mE.0Lpf3WimG" />

The architectural team is led by Brisbane-based Cottee Parker, one of Australia's most active residential design studios, with landscape architecture by Dunn + Moran. The consultant team also includes ADG Engineers, Windtech and Acoustic Works.

S&amp;S Projects has become one of the most influential private developers operating on the southern Gold Coast. Since entering Rainbow Bay in 2022, the company has assembled a portfolio exceeding $1 billion in end value, establishing itself as a key player in the area's evolution into a premium apartment destination. Pezet Matheson will again handle the sales for S&amp;S.

Coolangatta is entering another wave of apartment development, following the delivery of several prominent residential projects in recent years.

John Kearney's Immerse Projects will launch&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kaiya-kirra-beach-5-haig-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Kaiya on Haig Street</a>&nbsp;soon, meanwhile, Palm Beach-based Sherpa Property Group is preparing to bring its debut Coolangatta development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-viver-87-griffith-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Flourish Viveré</a>, to market later this year, subject to approvals.

Bachelorette and 2DayFM evening radio personality Sam Frost has secured herself first Sydney home, however its not the coastal apartment she'd initially been after.
Sam has recently settled on a $1.2 townhouse in Sydney's inner ring near Sydney Park, one of Sydney's best park playgrounds.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/03/14/Screen%20Shot%202017-03-14%20at%2010.14.48%20AM.png" alt="">
It secured her three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a car space. 
She'd previously spent six months searching fruitlessly up and down Sydney's eastern suburbs coastline.
She was first spotted at an open for inspection back last August in Bondi, looking for a two bedroom apartment.
Local agents had gleaned Sam was seeking an apartment priced up to $1.3 million.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/03/14/Screen%20Shot%202017-03-14%20at%2010.14.39%20AM.png" alt="">
Sam didn't want to bid past the eventual winning bid of $1,282,000 on a Clovelly apartment in November that offered views over Clovelly Beach.
She's decided to settle in Sydney's inner ring instead.
The 2002 built townhouse has sliding glass doors that open to an entertainment terrace.
The contemporary home initially traded when bought from the developer for $570,000 in 2008.
All of the three bedrooms access balconies and two have ensuites.
There's the car space necessary for Sam's shiny new Mini Cooper.
Sam confirmed her split with Sasha Mielczarek in December after being together since 2015 when Sasha won her heart and the final rose on The Bachelorette.
In an interview with news.com.au, Sasha cited the distance of their relationship as the key driving force behind their split.
“Basically, Sam would get up early for 2DayFM breakfast show Rove and Sam and I couldn’t really talk to her till about midday and by that stage I was at work ... so not being able to talk to Sam during the day was tough for me," Sasha said.
“Then by the time I finished work, sometimes at 9pm, she was already asleep, so that was challenging.”
The couple had signalled plans to build on a block of land in an upmarket Southern Highlands housing subdivision, Retford Park, which is likely to become Sasha's endeavour given he's been doing construction work in Nowra.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/03/14/Screen%20Shot%202017-03-14%20at%2010.14.43%20AM.png" alt="" style="font-size: 12.16px;"> 
The recently available sold out lots had been priced between $365,000 and $810,000 through Savills Residential Projects.
"I love building and all things construction," Sasha told me on its purchase.
"Having grown up in the Southern Highlands and even going to high school there I'm pretty attached to the area," the former Oxleyan school captain said.

De Leede listed the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-apartment-nsw-bondi+beach-122716830">apartment in The Bondi</a> just before settlement began on the Bondi Pacific, where he was a $3.85 million off the plan buyer just along the Campbell Parade strip.
His three bedroom, three bathroom apartment has been on and off the market since early 2015. Its recent marketing campaign spanned 450 days.
The apartment fetched $3.8 million after initially wanting $4 million.
De Leede's nearby Bondi Pacific beach pad is a fourth floor, 220 sqm apartment with two bedrooms, three bathrooms and a curved balcony.

A three bedroom apartment styled by Newstead Interiors fronting the Brisbane River sold within a week.
The apartment, located on the podium level of Brisbane's Waters Edge, in the West End is sized 220sqm with a 62sqm wrap-around terrace and 13 metres of river frontage.
The residential development features a 25 metre heated infinity pool, barbecue terrace, gymnasium and private residents' lounge. 
Virginia De Luca, director of Newstead Interiors, says the apartment has been 'themed' to suit its surroundings.
"The Brisbane lifestyle is centred around the river, so we wanted to extend the apartment's connection to the river through the use of different colours, textures and materials," she said.
"The end result is an abode that is classic yet contemporary, with earthy tones throughout to match new Limed Oak American floors, enhanced by splashes of blue hues as a visual reminder that this apartment is framed by the water.
"The styling of the apartment was guided by how we imagined the new owner would want to experience their home, which led us to include soft touches like additional seating and throws to encourage 'rest and retreat' areas throughout the property.
"We have opted to keep the overall palette of the apartment neutral, light and fresh to allow the buyer to put their own stamp on the apartment."
Kim Pradella, director of developer Pradella said they wanted to redefine the concept of a riverfront home. 
"The apartment is elevated to ensure privacy and to provide spectacular 180 degree panoramic views across the river, while allowing residents direct private access to surrounding parklands, riverfront pathways and exclusive resort-style amenities.
"This apartment is truly one of a kind and it has been finished by Newstead Interiors to a standard befitting the final podium riverfront residence at Waters Edge."

The former Sydney Swans AFL coach Paul Roos and wife Tami have listed their luxury Coogee apartment, given they divide their time these days between Melbourne and Hawaii.
They bought the 247 sqm apartment in 2015, spending $2,165,000 on the Allen Jack+Cottier designed space.
Comprising three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the whole floor penthouse style Arcadia Street apartment features a large outdoor terrace.
Now its for sale through McGrath Coogee agents Mark McPherson and Emilee Tayyara, who have a price guide of $2.7 million for its March 18 auction.
It will be the first resale in the tightly held block of four.
The couple became Melbourne based due to Roos coaching commitments with the Melbourne Demons. Their sons used the apartment while completing their studies.
In Melbourne the couple sold their contemporary Tim Spicer designed Elwood home mid-last year for $3.27 million, then upgrading to nearby Brighton they spent $3.85 million on an ultra-contemporary four bedroom home bought from Allan Sinclair, the former Fitzroy player whose son, Callum plays for Sydney Swans.
Their Elwood home had cost $2.25 million in 2010, a month after they let go of their luxury Con Hairis designed South Coogee mansion for $5.4 million, just after Roos left the top job at the Swans.
Roos, who recently insisted he is more unlikely than ever to get back into the senior coaching role, coached the Sydney Swans to Premiership success in 2005, their first in 72 years.
The new Fox Footy recruit will co-host League Teams with Dermot Brereton for the upcoming season.
In a recent interview with The Daily Telegraph, Roos said the family wish to spend more time in Hawaii, where they bought a home in 2010.
“Tami wants to spend more time with her family (in California)," he said.
"We think we can find a good balance between being in Australia — and my continuing to earn a good living and being involved in football — and starting a business which will give us opportunities in America as well as Australia."
"I think the next 12 months will be about finding where the balance lies and how we will spend time in each country.”
The couple run a health and wellness company, The Roos Synergy, which they are ready to reignite after putting it aside ahead of Paul's role at the Melbourne Demons. 
“Wellness is becoming a huge issue worldwide and American companies are probably more proactive in providing for their staff," Paul said.
“Eventually I wouldn’t mind doing things in America, either Hawaii or where Tami’s family is from."
