<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/collingwood-vic-3066">Collingwood</a>’s northern edge continues to sharpen its reputation as one of Melbourne’s most compelling cultural precincts, where established creative institutions, leading hospitality, and independent fashion converge within a tightly held inner-city neighbourhood.

Set within this evolving pocket, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/derby-street-by-milieu-collingwood-4-derby-street-collingwood-vic-3066">Derby Street by Milieu</a> draws on a location that balances proximity to some of the inner north’s most influential destinations with the quieter, tree-lined character that defines the streets edging East Melbourne. Positioned just moments from both Smith and Gertrude Streets, the address sits on the periphery of Collingwood’s cultural core, offering immediate access without the intensity of its busiest frontages.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355945]

Gertrude Street, in particular, anchors the area’s identity as a destination for Melbourne’s leading food, art and fashion. Within a short walk, venues such as Marion, Cutler &amp; Co, IDES and the Builders Arms Hotel define a tightly curated dining scene with enduring citywide appeal, complemented by a strong fashion and retail presence including Havn, Le Labo and a selection of independent boutiques.

Nearby, institutions such as the Australian Print Workshop and Collingwood Yards sustain a constant rhythm of exhibitions, performances and creative output, embedding art and culture into the everyday fabric of the neighbourhood.

Smith Street, running parallel, extends this offering with a broader mix of hospitality and nightlife, maintaining its status as one of Melbourne’s most active inner-urban strips.

Beyond these high-energy streets, the immediate surrounds shift in tone. Derby Street and its neighbouring blocks are defined by low-rise heritage terraces, mature trees and a settled residential character. Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens are both within walking distance, alongside the Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum, bringing together green space and cultural landmarks within minutes of home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355985]

Connectivity remains a key advantage. The CBD sits within easy reach, accessible by tram along Smith Street in around 20 minutes, while also remaining close enough to walk or cycle, supported by the inner north’s established bike network.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s long-standing connection to Collingwood underpins the project’s approach. With a portfolio that includes multiple nearby developments across Bedford, Peel and Napier Streets, the developer brings a sustained understanding of the area’s character and evolution. Derby Street continues this trajectory as a collaboration with award-winning Melbourne-based <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studio-bright">Studio Bright</a>, marking the practice’s first multi-residential project in the inner north and reflecting a shared focus on design integrity and contextual response.&nbsp;

Balancing connection to the neighbourhood with a sense of seclusion and refuge, Derby Street by Milieu embodies a level of care and craft typically reserved for single residential projects. Comprising 22 residences across six storeys, with two to four-bedroom configurations priced from $1.15 million, the project is currently under construction with completion expected in late 2027.&nbsp;

A rare new apartment development in the Blue Mountains is the latest in a string of State Significant Development Applications submitted through the New South Wales Government's Housing Delivery Authority.

A total of 270 apartments are being proposed for the 1.16-hectare site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/blue-mountains-alpine-retreat-142-150-narrow-neck-road-katoomba-nsw-2780">142–150 Narrow Neck Road in Katoomba</a>, a parcel of land adjoining the former Katoomba Golf Course. The site was acquired for $3.85 million in 2021 by private developer VDM Prime.

The apartments, comprising a mix of serviced apartments, affordable housing, and traditional build-to-sell product, will be spread across eight low-rise buildings, along with a separate building for a new restaurant, arranged around a green spine that leads to a central park.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee9a2072-f465-44f1-9076-80c9c8ecca02" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.20.21%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4bT0vQ7j_syl65wcrJmHGm3m5pTvwrY_" />

The Urban Design Report by Atlas Urban says the vision is to create a "contemporary mountain precinct that is responsive to its escarpment landscape, heritage character, and community context."

"The development responds to the current housing supply and affordability challenges identified under the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA), providing a balanced mix of standard, affordable, and short-stay accommodation," the report noted.

"By introducing a variety of dwelling types and tenures, the proposal supports intergenerational living, local workforce retention, and greater housing choice within an area constrained by topography, heritage, and environmental protections."

Of the 270 units proposed, 52 will be serviced apartments. The remainder will comprise 54 studios, 121 one-bedroom units, 39 two-bedroom apartments, and four three- to four-bedroom residences.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f704508d-1bdf-4170-955d-0256652402a7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.56.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=TzarHMO4gTOsblCqsbJQkvMqWj9nu2Au" />

The Design Report, by VDM Prime and appointed architect Antoniades Architects, noted that the design seeks to "provide a built form outcome that is highly considered, respectful and contextually fitting, whilst contributing positively to an evolving precinct."

"The site offers three frontages and the opportunity to provide a meaningful interface with the public domain environment. the design has a sympathetic response to streetscape and the green open space that surrounds the site."

The report states that the buildings are broken up to establish an appropriate bulk and scale, emphasised through height and setback strategies and defined through articulation that supports the transition of precinct granularity. It also notes that a central communal open space is established through the site to enhance the social dynamic and access to amenity, including natural ventilation and light to the apartments. The east and west frontages receive solar access during the morning and afternoon, whilst maximising views to the green open space.

The site adjoins the recently completed Yarrabee Katoomba development, comprising 24 duplexes that were completed last year and sold through McGrath Projects.

The relatively new Housing Delivery Authority pathway established by the NSW Government allows developers to submit State Significant Development Applications through a fast-tracked state process, effectively reducing reliance on local council approval pathways and aiming to accelerate housing delivery across New South Wales.

First look: Nearly 300 apartments pitched on former Katoomba golf course site

In Melbourne’s established inner east, the qualities that define a traditional house, width, height, and access to open ground, are increasingly difficult to replicate in new residential developments. Larger landholdings are scarce, and with them, the ability to create apartments that extend beyond compact, internalised layouts.&nbsp;

In <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a>, where the residential fabric is shaped by generous setbacks and mature tree canopies, that tension is especially visible.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ricdanic-investments-pty-ltd">Ricdanic</a>&nbsp;is bringing forward a boutique collection of just 13 residences across two buildings at 9–11 Wimba Avenue, Kew. Comprising six homes at No.9 and seven at No.11, the project sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just off Cotham Road.&nbsp;

Each apartment has been planned with a level of independence more commonly associated with standalone dwellings, balancing privacy with the efficiencies of apartment living.

Architect Chris Idle, who has been practising for over two decades, says projects like this don’t come along often.

“There are very few opportunities to do these kinds of developments in leafy, established suburbs,” he explains. “To get this level of amenity, natural light, and architectural freedom in such a setting is extremely rare.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366267]

The internal planning begins with width. Living areas extend beyond five metres, allowing furniture, circulation, and glazing to sit comfortably within the same zone without compression. Ceiling heights shift from three metres through to five metres in select areas, changing the sense of scale as you move through the apartment. These proportions are paired with double-glazed windows and fully electric systems, balancing volume with performance, supported by a 7.2 NatHERS energy rating.&nbsp;

From the main living space, the apartments open directly outward. Large sliding doors connect to private gardens averaging 125 square metres, with some residences also incorporating balconies of around 60 square metres. Rather than acting as secondary outdoor zones, these areas sit flush with the internal floor level, extending the usable footprint of the home and allowing for multiple modes of use, whether for quiet daily routines or larger gatherings.&nbsp;

The landscape, led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/john-patrick-landscape-architects">John Patrick</a>, reinforces this relationship. Across the site, 23 different plant species have been introduced, including a mix of native and established varieties, arranged to maintain privacy while preserving sightlines and light access. Gardens are not treated as decorative buffers but as functional extensions of the apartments, shaped to accommodate movement, seating, and informal use over time.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366265]

Architecturally, the project draws from Kew’s historic residential language. Handmade bricks by Krause define the exterior, grounding the buildings within the material palette of the suburb, while interior finishes, stone, timber flooring, and restrained detailing, continue this approach internally. Architect Chris Idle describes the intent as long-term rather than stylistic: “We wanted it to feel timeless.”&nbsp;

This emphasis on durability extends to how the buildings are accessed and secured. Entry is managed through keyless systems, with a double-gated basement incorporating number plate recognition for vehicle access. Each residence is paired with a private lock-up garage accommodating two to three cars, alongside storage, while all entry points are monitored continuously. These measures sit alongside EV readiness and fully electric infrastructure, aligning the project’s operational systems with its long-term design outlook.&nbsp;

The setting remains central to how the development is experienced. Located within walking distance of Kew Junction and close to established schools including Carey Grammar and Xavier College, the address benefits from existing infrastructure while maintaining a residential quietness that is increasingly difficult to find at this scale.&nbsp;

Construction is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/sinjen">Sinjen</a>, with a 10-year structural guarantee, with completion targeted for mid-2027.

High-end Sydney developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has secured approval for one of its latest Mosman projects, one of the first developments approved by Mosman Council under the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy.

The approval represents an important step in delivering well-considered housing next to established village locations on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, in line with the intent of the Low and Mid-Rise zoning framework. 
&nbsp; 
There are currently 13 other sites lodged within Mosman Council under the policy, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/27-29-heydon-street-mosman-nsw-2088">Heydon Street</a> among the first to receive development consent. 
&nbsp; 
Abadeen Founder and Executive Chairman Justin Brown said the project reflects a considered and appropriate response to its planning context. 
&nbsp; 
“This approval demonstrates how carefully considered, design-led development can align with the objectives of the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy," Brown said.

"The scheme has been designed to respond sensitively to its village setting, with a built form, scale and level of amenity appropriate to its local context. The determination reflects a balanced and considered planning outcome, with Council recognising the capacity for this site to accommodate additional housing within a well-located and established precinct.”

<img alt="Abadeen secures first approval under low and mid-rise housing policy for Heydon Street, Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="92811ce3-02e8-44fc-996e-c61ae039bd3e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Heydon%20Street%20Aerial.jpg?VersionId=ZHJVuWQT64QcdrFJx963pFWFzTX7lI2I" />

The Heydon Street approval followed extensive consultation with Mosman Council, with Abadeen working closely with Council throughout the assessment process.

The approved scheme comprises 27 residences, with only four per floor, creating a low-density living environment. The building will include four half-floor penthouses designed to capture views across Middle Harbour, Sydney Harbour and the surrounding district.&nbsp;

The project is expected to appeal to downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking house-like proportions, privacy and local convenience. There will be north-facing Middle Harbour views from the second level upward. It is also just a flat 100-metre walk to Bridgepoint Shopping Centre, which will appeal to owner-occupiers and in particular downsizers.

Two-bedroom residences are expected to be priced from $1.99 million when sales launch later this year. 
&nbsp; 
Joe Tack, CEO at Abadeen, said the outcome reflects both the quality of the site and the broader need for well-located housing. 
&nbsp; 
“This is a highly considered site within a highly established local setting, offering elevated views and strong connectivity. The project has been designed to respond to that context, delivering a scale and quality of housing aligned with both the planning framework and evolving market demand.” 
&nbsp; 
“This approval is particularly significant in the context of Mosman, where new housing supply has historically been limited. While it represents the first approval of this scale in Mosman to be achieved in over 50 years, it is importantly located within a well-established residential location, in close proximity to the established commercial amenity of Spit Road and Mosman Village. It reflects strong confidence in Abadeen’s approach to design, delivery and community integration, while contributing to the delivery of much-needed housing in a highly constrained market.”

Abadeen has an established track record across Sydney’s Lower North Shore, with recent completions including KOYO in Crows Nest and ENSO in Neutral Bay.

In Mosman, Abadeen recently completed The Hampden, with Mosman Residences on the corner of Spit Road and Clifford Street scheduled for completion later this year. Construction has also commenced at Burran Residences, comprising three full-floor ultra-premium homes positioned just 50 metres from Balmoral Beach, with residences expected to achieve prices in excess of $20 million. Two further projects are also progressing through planning within the local government area.

Apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> is one of the latest entrants to the Gold Coast development market, with its debut project set to be one of the most boutique offerings on Chevron Island in recent years.

Martello has unveiled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aere-chevron-island-18-20-mawarra-street-chevron-island-qld-4217">Aere Chevron Island</a>, a collection of 33 large-scale two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments across an 18-storey building on Mawarra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367517]

The developer has placed a strong emphasis on wellness, briefing architecture firm Raunik Design to embed this philosophy into the project. It is a direction <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> plans to carry through its future developments along the coast.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> has positioned Aere as a continuation of its human-centric development approach, with a focus extending beyond amenity to the fundamentals of layout, natural light, and spatial planning. Promax Construction has already been appointed to deliver the project, with construction expected to commence in the coming months as part of the group’s broader expansion into South East Queensland.

Rising above the low-rise fabric of Chevron Island, Aere’s design emphasises generous internal proportions and uninterrupted outlooks, with residences oriented to capture coastal, skyline, and waterway views. Interiors prioritise open-plan living, with large-format glazing and carefully considered transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367508]

The upper levels are dedicated to larger-format homes, including four-bedroom residences designed as half-floor offerings. These layouts prioritise separation between living and sleeping zones, along with increased privacy and storage, features more commonly associated with detached housing than traditional apartment product.

Aere’s private resident amenity spaces centre on wellness. A rooftop level will incorporate a heated swimming pool, sauna and spa, alongside a residents’ lounge, dining areas and barbecue spaces, while additional shared facilities throughout the building include a gym and yoga area.

The inclusion of both social and quieter retreat spaces reflects a broader shift in higher-end apartment design on the Gold Coast, where developers are increasingly responding to owner-occupier demand for buildings that support long-term living rather than short-stay use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367814]

Aere is positioned within walking distance of Chevron Island’s village centre along Thomas Drive, as well as the HOTA cultural precinct via the Green Bridge, connecting residents to parklands, galleries, and event spaces.

For <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>, Aere represents the first in a series of planned Gold Coast developments, with the group also exploring opportunities in other coastal precincts, including Kirra and Palm Beach.

The move north comes as sustained population growth and infrastructure investment continue to reshape South East Queensland, with developers increasingly targeting boutique, design-led projects in established lifestyle pockets. Aere’s relatively small scale and emphasis on spatial quality position it within this emerging segment of the market.

The former Brisbane Broncos coach Anthony Seibold has flipped his Paddington home, a stones throw from Suncorp Stadium.
Seibold found a buyer in just seven days for the luxury architect designed home that he bought for $1.9 million just 18 months ago when he returned to Queensland following his departure from the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
McGrath Paddington agents Alex Jordan and Reuben Packer-Hill asked for offers over $2.15 million, and secured $2.3 million.
The contemporary home near Rosalie village has five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rumpus and a glass wine cellar.
The luxury kitchen with butlers' pantry features a wide servery window which runs to the alfresco area with built in barbecue.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/10/8/sibold%203.png" alt="">
That meets the rear lawn and swimming pool.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/10/8/seibold%202.png" alt="">
There's a rooftop entertaining terrace with views across Brisbane.
Last year Seibold and wife Hollie offloaded their investment property near the Gold Coast for $485,000, having bought it for $261,000 in 2009, the same year it was built.
They were based in Wales at the time where Anthony was the assistant coach at the new Welsh rugby league club the Celtic Crusaders.

The Melbourne Storm are set to launch their own branded home loan service.
It is set to pioneer sporting clubs offering its members access to financial products.
The Storm is launching Storm Money in partnership with the private My Local Broker.
My Local Broker will be the funder of the loans. My Local Broker is owned by Gerry Ryan, a part-owner and director of the Storm.
The Storm will share commissions. The members will be offered deals from about 40 or so different loan providers.
Storm chief executive Dave Donaghy said the concept arose from a survey of the club’s 25,000 members this year about their financial priorities.
“We looked at our sponsorship portfolio and found we had a gap in the banking sector,” Mr Donaghy told The Australian.
Almost 40 per cent of Storm members have home loans and close to 60 per cent told the club they were looking to refinance within a year, with 40 per cent saying they’d be likely or highly likely to change if offered an exclusive deal from a Storm sponsor.

Having upgraded nearby last year, Manly Sea Eagles skipper Daly Cherry-Evans and his partner Vessa Rockliff have quietly offloaded their former Curl Curl home.
The couple had $1395-a-week tenants there after moving 500 metres closer to the sand.
They sold the single-level, four-bedroom home with salt water swimming pool for $1.9 million earlier this month.
Curl Curl prices have ranged from $1,675,000 to $3 million this year, with the median price for a four-bedroom house in Curl Curl sitting at $2.28 million, according to realestate.com.au. That’s up from $1.6 million in 2014.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/9/30/curl%20curl2.jpg" alt="">
The couple had bought the property for $1,335,000 in 2014, not long before the birth of their second child. Now they have three children.
It’s the second home Cherry-Evans has sold this year.
At the start of the year, DCE sold his <a href="/news/sea-eagles-star-daly-cherry-evans-sells-at-mermaid-beach">redundant Gold Coast investment home</a> he bought when he agreed to join the Titans back in 2015, only to opt out of the arrangement and sign a bumper deal with Manly.
The 1970s beach house in Mermaid Beach quickly became a $1300-a-week rental, having cost $1.45 million. He recently sold for $1.65 million.
Cherry-Evans and Rockliff are <a href="/news/manly-sea-eagles-skipper-dale-cherry-evans-buys-curl-curl-designer-home">now based opposite Curl Curl Beach</a> in a home they bought this time last year for $3.4 million.
It had belonged to Paul and Emma Lo Russo, the older sister of former Channel 7 House Rules presenter Joh Griggs.
The architect-designed­ home was constructed in the early 2000s, with the Russos having paid $330,000 in 1993.
Cherry-Evans retains a two-bedroom investment apartment in Freshwater that he bought for $500,000 in 2012.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs legend Greg Inglis has sold his former Coogee home having pulled it from auction and reduced its price hopes.
Buyers were being told they’d need to offer $2.5 million to <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-coogee-131104790" target="_blank">secure the Federation semi</a> after it was initially listed for auction on June 1 with a guide of $2.8 million.
The home sold within 29 days of its listing, well ahead of the current 50 day Sydney average on market time.
McGrath Coogee agent Marnie Seinor secured the sale but said she couldn’t disclose its sale price.
“It holds a prized corner parcel in a coveted Coogee street, just metres from buzzing cafes, shops and the beach,” she said.
“The immaculately kept Federation semi celebrates relaxed coastal living,” she added.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/3/INGLIS2.jpg" alt="">
Inglis bought the home in early 2012 having made the moving the prior season from Melbourne where he played for the Storm.
Inglis paid $1.1 million for the Bream St property, when the median price was around $1.4 million.
Coogee, with a current $2.6 million median house price, has seen a compound growth rate of 8.5 percent for houses over the past five years.
It was just a two bedroom, 1910 built Federation, but now still behind a traditional facade, extended to now have four bedrooms and two bathrooms across its three levels.
Since its listing Inglis has struggled with personal issues after retiring earlier this year from rugby league following a stellar 14 year on field career.
The former South Sydney captain has been admitted to a mental health facility to deal with the issues he has been facing.
His close friends Justin Hodges recently encouraged Inglis to get his life back on track for the sake of his young family after seeing “the hurt in his eyes”.
“He’s doing it very tough. Everything hit him at once; his marriage break-up and then his retirement came quickly, quicker than what he expected.”
The 32-year-old, was living at Little Bay, having leased the 1910 Coogee home in recent times.
The Kempsey-born NRL star and his estranged wife Sally, who recently moved back to Queensland, own investment properties including a renovated 1920s workers cottage in Sandgate, northwest of Brisbane, which cost $440,000 in 2014.

Former rugby league star Ben Barba is selling his Brisbane investment property.
Barba, whose fall from grace has seen him swap a $500,000-a-year league career to being a labourer, paid $769,000 in 2013 for <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-everton+park-130905414" target="_blank">the Everton Park home</a>.
It was bought after his move to the Broncos.
Barba only spent one season at Red Hill before moving to the Cronulla Sharks when the four-bedroom home became a $750 a week rental.
Innov8 Property Sales ­Albany Creek agent Michael Spillane is seeking offers above $849,000.
The vast 1985-built home sits on 1100 square metres.
Barba retains his $1.18 million Caringbah South home that became a rental after the winger headed to France to play rugby union in 2017.
The former Dally M Medallist currently faces two charges of public nuisance following an alleged domestic violence incident on Australia Day at the Townsville Casino with his partner Ainslie Currie, which led to his sacking by the North Queensland Cowboys.
With his league career in tatters, Barba has been a lab­ourer at a Mackay garage door manufacturing business owned by his cousin Adam Doull.
Meanwhile, Barba plays soccer for the Mackay Rangers in the Mackay Premier League.

The South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett and his fiance Dale Cage have sold their Brisbane near riverside home.
It sold within 18 days of its listing through Ray White for $2.12 million to a local family who were downsizing.
The property at<a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/LbJNCyojoDhyQ0lQTMsiKB?domain=raywhite.com" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/LbJNCyojoDhyQ0lQTMsiKB?domain%3Draywhite.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1556327906575000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEISMJeEqDAjieWhQPBHJHjxrbGdw"> Yeronga</a> attracted some interest from Sydney buyers.
They paid $1,975,000 in late 2016 when Bennett just wrapped up his second season in his second stint at the Brisbane Broncos.
Set on the high side of the dress circle Brisbane Corso, the home spans three levels.
It has four bedrooms, a home office, media room and a heated pool. 
The home built by local builders Grayhaus shortly before Bennett and Cage bought it.
The couple could now move to buy in Sydney as they have been renting in Sydney's coastal eastern suburbs.
He's never been that into Sydney property, preferring to keep his expansive portfolio up north.
Bennett still hangs on to a $1.96 million Brisbane city apartment and investments in Moffat Beach and Gladfield.
Bennett's Brisbane home sits just one street back from the Brisbane River.
Bennett met Cage during his two year stint as head coach at Newcastle Knights when Cage was working as a secretary at a performance physiotherapy clinic.
He coached the Broncos for 21 consecutive seasons from their first season in 1988, during which he resided much of the time at a home at Mount Ommaney.
His NSW coaching stints have been in the Illawarra and Newcastle districts, neither of which appeared to have ignited any passion for property.
Cage said the couple looked all over Brisbane when we were looking to buy "from Ascot and Hamilton and we both fell in love with this house together".
“It’s a warm, inviting and modern home and it’s made for entertaining,” Cage said.
“It’s a wonderful street we live in, there’s good company all around. It’s a great house too that is very low maintenance.
“As soon as we walked in we knew it was right for us, and it would suit a big family as it’s got a heated pool and four big bedrooms, two of which are ensuited.”

Wayne Bennett sells Brisbane home for $2.12 million

The new South Sydney Rabbitohs boss Wayne Bennett is officially cutting ties with Brisbane, listing the Yeronga home he owns with his partner Dale Cage.
They paid $1,975,000 in late 2016 when Bennett just wrapped up his second season in his second stint at the Brisbane Broncos.
He was head coach for two decades up until 2008.
The couple seemed set to lease the property upon their move to Sydney, but CoreLogic records show it was advertised at $1,850 a week at the end of January, and then again at the end of February, suggesting a tenant at that price wasn't forthcoming.

Ray White Sherwood agent Tim Davis, who sold the couple their home, is looking for a buyer around $2 million.
