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."

<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.

The heritage-listed former home of Prahran’s renowned Jacques Reymond restaurant has been listed for sale.
Reymond, who owns <a href="https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/property/78-williams-road-prahran-vic-3181-2015612121" target="_blank">the Victorian mansion at 78 Williams Road</a>, closed the doors of his restaurant in 2013 after a number of decades.
He entertained the likes of Elton John, Kylie and Danni Minogue, Michael Schumacher and Cliff Richard.
It became Woodland House, the two-hatted fine dining restaurant ran by Thomas Woods and Hayden McFarland, in 2014.
They bought out Reymond, who was their mentor, but were forced to appoint liquidators earlier this year.
In the 1980s it was home to highly regarded restaurant Allison's.
<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/2019/9/11/Jacques%20Reymond%20PRAHRAN%202.jpg" alt="">
Colliers International’s Guy Wells, Ben Baines and Alex Browne are marketing the 1,010 sqm property with a $4.1 million to $4.51 million guide.
The grand gold-rush era property was originally constructed as one of two identical residences in the 1880s as a wedding gift to the owner's daughter. The Reymond family paid $1 million back in 1993.
The neighbouring property is a four bedroom home with formal dining room, living room and ground floor kitchen area.
“Offering rich history and endless charm, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Melbourne’s most recognizable buildings and influence the next chapter of this iconic property’s outstanding story," Wells said.
“The property, with its heritage façade, expansive rooms, abundant natural light and high quality improvements, offers a wide range of potential future uses.
<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/2019/9/11/Jacques%20Reymond%20PRAHRAN%201.jpg" alt="">
Wells suggested 78 Williams would suit a conversion back to a grand residential property with its high ceilings, large land holding and surrounding proximity to prestigious schools, major arterials, parklands and retail amenity.
Wells also suggested the building could suit medical offices, as well as having the potential to be converted in to heritage apartments within the existing envelope.

The original Woolstore was designed in the early 1910's by acclaimed architect Robin Dods.
Walls &amp; Juster built the heritage-listed Vernon Terrace warehouse for Australian Mercantile Land &amp; Finance (AML&amp;F) who had purchased the land in 1910.
The original Hall &amp; Dods architectural plans included a second store, which was built around a decade later.
The property was sold in 1980 to Pacific Fire Protection, which used level three for customer storage, while leasing level four to TL Tourrier &amp; Co. Pty Ltd Woolstore.
The Brisbane City Council's Teneriffe Development Plan suggested recycling the buildings as a wool exhibition and tourist centre, however, in 2004, the Australian Property Growth Fund purchased the building and refurbished it to create 89 apartments.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Mercantile_Land_%26_Finance_Woolstores#cite_note-2"> </a>
Push Architecture designed the redevelopment.
The Federation era, four storey, brick and timber warehouse is capable of storing 14,000 wool bales.

The former Coachman Restaurant in Redfern, transformed in 1961 by well known restaurateur Wolife Pizem, has been listed for sale.

The property at <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/%20https:/www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-redfern-503233454" target="_blank">763 Bourke Street</a> has undergone a large scale renovation and refurbishment since the Russian Coachman Restaurant closed its doors in 2012.

It was back in the early 1960s when famous local restaurateur's Wolfie Pizem and Joseph Malek converted the 1820s built cottage into a restaurant, adding a kitchen and a bar.

It last traded for $500,000 in 2001 when sold by Diane Malek, the widow of the late Joseph.

The heritage-listed property, which was known as Roseheath Cottage, was built by hand by convicts for Thomas Campbell.

It was built on a consolidated 40 acre estate owned by nurseryman John Baptist. The 40 acres were subdivided in the 1880s, creating Baptist, Telopea, Boronia and Zamia Streets.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/25/736%20Bourke%20Street%202.jpg">

The cottage was one half of a semi-detached pair. In 1915 the house was purchased by Samuel Goldstein, a shirtmaker, who used part of the building as living quarters and the other half as a ballroom.

Pizem and Malek named the restaurant The Coachman and it quickly became a regular haunt for local business people, in particular the rag trade.

It would go on to host a number of national and international celebrities.

The attached warehouse, which had an above ground pool that was used as a lobster tank, was demolished in 1967 to make way for a four storey apartment building.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/25/736%20Bourke%20Street%203.jpg">

In 1995 the restaurant was renamed the Russian Coachman up until its closure seven years ago.

The property with exposed sandstone and a number of large fireplaces has around 500 sqm of indoor and outdoor space. It was listed for rent earlier this year at $195,000 per annum.

It is being marketed by CBRE agents Nicholas Heaton and Matthew Fenn as being suitable as a restaurant, creative office or childcare facility.

A new Italian café and bar, Valentini's is the latest addition to the Melbourne’s Equitable Place.
Fitzroy agent Alex Shum negotiated the five-year lease with a five-year term for the 101 sqm space at 12 Equitable Place at $110,000 per annum on behalf of a private investor.
The deal reflected a building rate of $1,090 per sqm.
The new offering, Valentini’s, will offer old-school Italian foods and wines, and high-quality coffee.
It features a full wall mural painted (pictured) by Italian artist Giorgio Marzo, artist name Smoe.
Valentini’s is the latest venture from an experienced operator in the hospitality industry who has owned, operated and managed venues in South Melbourne, Carlton and the CBD. 
Mr Shum said the enquiry received for this space came from "a range of hospitality operators and fashion retailers looking to secure their own place in Melbourne’s famous laneway culture,”
Equitable Place already offers unique hospitality offering such as Brown Bagels, B’cos Brazil, Blank, Viet St., Kenny’s Bakery, Dodee Paidang and Madam I’m Adam.
It attracts a strong flow of customers from Little Collins Street, Collins Street and Elizabeth Street, and Shum said Valentini’s would bring a strong complementary offering.

No word yet on just when Kylie Kwong will close her Potts Point restaurant Billy Kwong.
It was announced in March that it would close in the next few months with the acclaimed chef and restaurateur set to open a small, casual eatery from as early as July.
<p data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen-8765012_16="6862" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time-8765012_16="4000" data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen-9076555_17="6863" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time-9076555_17="4000" data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen-8882279_17="6864" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time-8882279_17="4000" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-8765012_16="1" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-9076555_17="1" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-8882279_17="1">"I turn 50 this year and in order to mark the milestone I wanted to take a different direction in my life," Kwong told The Good Food Guide.
"I want to spend more time collaborating with partners and mentors locally and around the world.
Details of the new eatery are yet to be confirmed but the venture will focus on native, organic and local ingredients, Kwong said.
Billy Kwong opened in Surry Hills in May 2000 and in late 2014 the restaurant relocated to a larger site on Macleay Street, Potts Point.
<div class="adWrapper ad">Kwong says the decision allowed her to devote more time to social enterprises and other industry projects.</div>
<div class="adWrapper ad">It will let her travel to events such as the Rene Redzepi-founded MAD symposium in Copenhagen "and have meaningful conversations about serious global issues".</div>
"I can then bring those concepts and ideas back to Australia and localise them, whether it's the way we deliver them in our daily food or a topic we discuss at our MAD Mondays Sydney talks I curate."
Kwong was now looking for a new tenant to take over the site on Macleay Street.
