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.

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

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

Real estate agent Jeremy Brink has left Di Jones Woollahra to move to Ray White's Darlinghurst office.
He had been the Di Jones best new talent award winner in February this year.
Brink (above and below) said he met with the Ray White office and agents and gleaned they had a "different service proposition" from other agencies.
“There’s too much one-size-fits-all in the real estate arena and the consumer is certainly becoming aware of that,” he said.
“Service levels will determine individual and business success, and I’m confident I’ve found this with Ray White Taylor and Partners.
“They’re extremely professional and seemed to go against the grain of what you’d define as a typical real estate agent.”
<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/2018/9/10/brink1.jpg" alt="">
The part-time model has quickly become a co-agent on three listings with experienced Ray White agent James Peach.
They're marketing a one bedroom Kings Cross apartment for $690,000, a studio in Potts Point with a $560,000 to $580,000 guide and a three bedroom Annandale house which has $1.75 million hopes.
Brink's biggest sale to date came in 2016 when he sold a Surry Hills terrace for $1,752,000.
The Mort Street home has three bedrooms and one bathrooms.
He also sold <a href="/news/potts-point-carspace-sells-at-222-000">an expensive Potts Point car space</a>.
The majority of his sales have come from the Elizabeth Bay area.
Brink was born in Canada and has called Sydney's eastern suburbs home since 2010.
The former ice hockey player has been in real estate since 2014. 
Peter Taylor, director of Ray White Taylor and Partners Darlinghurst, said that having Brink on board was a good fit.   “Jeremy is very much aligned with our values and what we feel defines a strong level of service and professionalism."

Ray White Rural and Livestock has listed Tenterden Station, a 1500 ha Guyra holding.
The agency has suggested <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/http://raywhiteruralnsw.com.au/properties/rural/nsw/guyra-2365/mixed-farming/1954755" target="_blank">Tenterden Station</a> lends itself favourably for future subdivision as the current LEP for rural land permits 200ha minimum lot sizes.
Ray White Rural and Livestock has a new Sydney-based corporate sales and marketing entity to service large scale agribusiness transactions and divestments.
The team will be led by rural agent Andrew Starr and Bruce Birch, the organisation’s national livestock director.
It will partner with local specialists in the New South Wales network of Ray White Rural to handle large corporate deals and complex aggregation sales.
It will focus on selling major agribusiness transactions as well as livestock.
<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/2018/9/10/TENTERDEN1.jpg" alt="">
The new business was inspired by the long-term success of a corporate-grassroots entity in Brisbane, Ray White Rural Queensland, directed by Bruce Douglas and Jez McNamara. The Brisbane-based business works collaboratively and exclusively with Ray White Rural's local agents in the sunshine state helping to facilitate rural property transactions.
The new business will be based out of Sydney, and will operate statewide, Andrew Starr explained.
"The strength of relationships with family offices, corporates and international contacts based out of a capital city coupled with the local knowledge, ease of local inspections and the reputation of our agents on the ground has proven an attractive option for many vendors with major agricultural assets to sell.
"This approach has worked well for vendors in Queensland for 25 years, and we anticipate it will be as attractive for clients in New South Wales,” he said.
The dual-agent approach exposes properties to a broader buyer pool, co-director Bruce Birch said.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/http://raywhiteruralnsw.com.au/properties/rural/nsw/guyra-2365/mixed-farming/1954755" target="_blank">Tenterden Station at Guyra</a> has paddocks designed to facilitate a rotational grazing model aimed at maximising livestock production while maintaining pasture longevity.

Ray White agents across Australasia achieved $3.4 billion in sales during August, which was the same tally as July.
However it was down on last August.
The last month of winter in 2017 saw the headline sales figure for Australia and New Zealand come at $3.67 billion, which was up nine percent compared to 2016.
At the time it was noted August 2017 "had produced a better result than many might have expected."
This week Brian White noted "while well below the result last year, it supports our view that the market may well have now adjusted."
Brian White, chairman of real estate agency Ray White, said the majority of the market correction had already happened.
“There has been an adjustment and I believe that much of that adjustment has been made,” Mr White said.
“The speed of the growth in Sydney and Melbourne was unsustainable.
"We are experiencing a healthier market.”
Markets outside Sydney and Melbourne had been resilient. 
“Only an explosion in interest rates would pull the market down significantly,” he said.
State based figures were not available for August 2018.
But in August 2017 New South Wales sales had lifted 18 per cent year on year to $1.259 billion. Sales volume in Victoria jumped 30 per cent to $647 million.
In August 2017 Queensland’s sales came in at $696 million, just $2 million shy of the same time in 2016. Tasmania booked $10 million, while Western Australia reported $84 million and South Australian sales came in at $117 million.  Its New Zealand network reported $629 million in August 2017, down 13 per cent on the same period in 2016.

Ray White Mildura has secured almost $19 million in two recent farm sales in the lush region that supplies more than 80 per cent of Victoria's grapes.

The buyers were a local winery expanding their operations. Mr Thornton said the landscape was changing in the Sunraysia horticulture region.
"Interest in the property came from many diverse industries and companies not just locally but also nationally and internationally.
"There are many large international corporations that have Sunraysia under their microscope as a place they want to invest in and that is very exciting for our region,” he said.
The buyer of the property was Sunraysia, Qualia Wines who operate a winery just outside Mildura, in Irymple.

"We have some big international wineries looking to buy in Mildura, plus solar farms and large horticultural operations.” Mr Portaro said. 
“This region is the food bowl for Australia and international buyers firmly believe that the future is in farming.”

<html><body><div class="page" title="Page 1">Deborah Brady and Jody Fewster (pictured above) have opened a new Ray White office in Peppermint Grove in the heart of their local Perth market. 
There is 23 years real estate experience between them.
They both came from the Acton agency.
“I’ve always loved it and now I’m really excited to run my own business for the first time," Ms Brady said.
" It’s one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done,” she said.
When she started in real estate, Ms Fewster said her original intention was that it would be a stepping stone, but that she just fell in love with selling homes.
“It’s never about just one sale … we’re building lifetime relationships,” she said.
"Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove and Mosman Park offer a range of property types, from luxury multi-million dollar waterfront properties to small apartments but we want to sell everything in our and around our neighbourhood."
Ray White WA CEO Mark Whiteman welcomed Ms Brady and Ms Fewster to the group.

Ray White Remuera has again been named the top office in the Ray White Group.
It was for the third year in a row.
Edging out Double Bay, the Auckland business won the award based on the highest settled commission.
Ray White Double Bay - with the dress circle address in Sydney’s eastern suburbs - had more than $930 million in residential sales.
The year saw a return of the lower north shore office in Sydney to the top 10.
Ray White Remuera principal Megan Jaffe said credit goes to the team effort.
The award came after a year in which the Ray White Group sold $45.4 billion in property.
It compared to $44.7 billion in annual sales in 2016-17, which was raised to $45.7 billion once all the sales were tallied.
The group also revealed its top-performing principal and agent for 2017-18 with Andrew Jolliffe (pictured below) announced as the company's number one principal internationally.

Sydney-based Mr Jolliffe, headed up the group's hospitality and leisure arm in the Asia-Pacific.
But Jolliffe has stopped selling under the Ray White brand as he now "works in partnership with the White family and Daniel Dragicevich" at HTL.
Gavin Rubinstein of Ray White Double Bay (pictured below) was named as the top international residential performer for the sixth year in a row.
 <img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/8/14/GAVIN%20.jpeg" alt="">

The Ray White bi-annual Auction Under The Stars event last night in Brisbane saw almost $14 million of property changing hands.
Auctioneer Haesley Cush sold 10 properties of the 27 on offer in front of a crowd of 300.
“The good news story in Brisbane is the inner north continue to shine,“ he said.
<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/2018/5/24/cush2.jpg" alt="">
A two bedroom ground floor courtyard townhouse in New Farm at 7/32 Hazelwood St got away first selling for $780,000 through Ray White New Farm marketing agent Scott Darwon.
Then a luxury five bedroom contemporary Clayfield home at 52 Union Street (top) sold under the hammer for $2.145 million to a Sydney family moving to Brisbane.
“This beautiful home was bought by a lovely family from Sydney whose daughters are going to St Margarets,” said joint marketing agent Christine Rudolph, of Ray White New Farm.
Ray White New Farm | Spring Hill director Matt Lancashire said the market was “not too hot and not too cold”.
“There’s plenty of people looking to buy in all price brackets in Brisbane and we had action on pretty much  everything tonight which shows great confidence in the market and the auction process which creates competition for our vendors,” Mr Lancashire said.
Cush said the resurgence of the inner city apartment market was a theme of the current market.

“No doubt units have been softer up until now but we saw the comeback of the unit market tonight with strong competition on all the unit stock we had.  
“We saw good interest on 27/4  Wandoo Street, Fortitude Valley which sold for $537,000."
Other  sales included 11 Stafford Street, Windsor sold under the hammer for $1.225 million and 21 Blaikie Street, Hendra at $1.530 million.

Big hearted Ray White Toronto owner Paul Wrigley is spending this week driving an his 1966 Holden HR rally car around NSW on his fourth Variety Bush Bash to help raise money for sick children. 
Wrigley has owned Ray White Toronto | Wangi for more than 18 years.
<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/2018/5/22/unnamed-3.jpg" alt="">
Wrigley, pictured above on the right with his mate and co-driver, says this cause was very important to him because all children deserved to have opportunities in life. 
“My kids have a great life full of opportunities and I want to be able to make a difference to as many Aussie kids as I can,” said Wrigley who set off in his 1966 Holden HR sedan on the week long rally from Newcastle to Glen Innes, Narrabri, Forbes, Griffith, Orange then Mudgee and back to Newcastle. 
“The Bush Bash is all about the kids but we do get to drive around parts of NSW that we normally wouldn’t do or see so it is a win win for me. I get a week off work driving around the countryside raising money for disadvantaged or disabled kids! Why not hey?!” 
Last year, the Variety Bush Bash raised more than $850,000 for local children who are sick, have a disability or experiencing financial hardship.
Wrigley said donations go towards providing iPads/laptops to a remote school or towards sensory lighting to severely disabled kids throughout all parts of NSW. 
“There’s sporting grants to disabled kids that have a passion or a talent in their chosen field. A wheelchair helped a disabled kid in Forster who had never been on the sand. They bought an air conditioner for a family who couldn’t afford one for their son has a heart condition where if the temperature of the house isn’t consistent he could die,” he said.
Other donations have bought a 22 seater bus for remote rural community schools so the teacher could drive the school kids to state sporting events where they wouldn’t be able to participate otherwise. 
His rally car is basically ready each year as long as nothing breaks on it. 
“The Bash route is designed to cover as many dirt tracks as we can so there are the odd parts that break along the way,” he said. 
“I try and raise as much money as I can each year for the bash plus I do a few other events throughout the year.” 
Over the last three years Wrigley personally helped raise more than $50,000 for this charity.

Rozelle's Garry Owen Hotel has been sold by the South Coast bound Sloan family after nearly a year on the market.
The Sloan family were described as industry newcomers when they bought the property from the Laundy Group in 2013.
They have extensively renovated the property at <a href="https://raywhitehotels.com.au/properties/garry-owen-hotel/" target="_blank">778 Darling Street</a>.
It spans three levels on its 360 sqm parcel and has 10 gaming entitlements.
Only half of the first floor area is being utilised for trade.
Ray White's Andrew Joliffe and Blake Edwards were marketing the property as an entry level Sydney freehold hotel.
Despite having 1920 etched on the facade the building, the hotel was established in 1881.
One of the Hotel's claim to fame is that an inside toilet was installed in an old laundry in 1937 and "was the only pub in Rozelle with a chimney on the toilet".
