Following the completion of its debut Palm Beach apartment development EVA on Tenth, local Gold Coast developer Chippendale Group has launched its latest project in the in demand area.

Chippendale Group, led by fifth-generation Palm Beach local Daniel Chippendale, has kicked off sales at&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775884443343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2GyxnGQKU2XXwTzQ8_VHgi" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221" target="_blank">ELISE</a>, 68 coastal-infused apartments just 40 metres from the sand on Twenty Fifth Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366023]

Construction is already well underway, a signal of confidence to buyers, following the demolition of the two-storey walk-up and 1990s built house that sat on two sites that have been amalgamated to create a prime corner block.

There are a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments on offer, starting from $1.4 million.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Elise responds to its coastal setting through a horizontal architectural form with recessed glazing and layered landscaping. The design aims to balance light, shade and sea breezes while creating a defined presence along the streetscape.&nbsp;

Residences have been planned with an emphasis on outdoor living suited to the Gold Coast climate, including large balconies designed as usable outdoor rooms. Interiors will feature a selection of European appliances and natural materials, including New Zealand wool carpets.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366033]

Resident amenities are centred around a wellness-focused ground-level precinct. There will be private access to a heated swimming pool, sauna, cold plunge and gym, alongside a residents’ lounge with dining and entertaining space.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">ELISE</a> is located towards the northern end of Palm Beach, which puts it just a short walk to Tallebudgera and Currumbin Creeks. At the end of the street is the newly extended Oceanway, a 36-kilometre pathway that runs up and down the Gold Coast.

Chippendale is targeting a late 2027 completion date for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">ELISE</a>.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/31-41-o-hara-street-marrickville-nsw-2204">Third.i</a>&nbsp;has announced a new transport-oriented development in one of Sydney Inner West’s most sought-after metropolitan locations, delivering much needed housing within steps of world-class public transport and vibrant village life.

Located at&nbsp;31-41 O’Hara St,&nbsp;Marrickville, the proposed mixed-use development will include around 300 apartments, with up to 17 per cent dedicated to affordable housing, reinforcing Third.i’s commitment to creating inclusive, well-connected communities that support a diverse mix of residents who keep Sydney’s neighbourhoods thriving.

Located just 100 metres from the new Metro station, the development places residents within minutes of the CBD while offering seamless access to the Inner West’s cafés, retail, and local services. Anchored within a thriving local centre, the project supports everyday living without reliance on cars, while also delivering new public open space for the local community, including a new park and landscaped green areas, alongside high-quality private resident amenities.

Florian Caillon, Head of Acquisitions for Third.i Group, said the project builds on the company’s ongoing work alongside the NSW Government to deliver housing and amenity alongside major transport infrastructure. Amenity includes an activated pedestrianise retail strip that connects Illawarra Road down to the pocket park, and health and wellness facilities.&nbsp;

“Delivering housing of this scale within an established village is a rare opportunity, and few companies have achieved residential outcomes of this size at a village centre," Caillon said.

"We are excited to set a new standard for urban living in the heart of Marrickville,” he said.&nbsp;

The inclusion of affordable housing has been welcomed by frontline workers.

“We are supportive of developments which will allow essential workers like nurses, midwives and carers, the opportunity to live in the communities they care for," said&nbsp;Michael Whaites, General Secretary of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association..

“Many healthcare workers tell us they would like to live closer to where they work, but are being priced out of the market, forcing them to move further away.&nbsp;

“Dedicated apartments for essential workers will support recruitment and retention in local hospitals and aged care facilities, helping to strengthen our health system.”

The project has been declared State Significant Development (SSD) by the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

A luxury half floor penthouse intended to be retained by Queensland developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/qm-properties">QM Properties</a> has hit the market as the final residence within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/160-macquarie-160-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">160 Macquarie</a> apartment development, an exclusive enclave of just 33 premium apartments located on St Lucia’s riverfront.&nbsp;

The 14-storey building, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/st-lucia-qld-4067">St Lucia</a>’s first riverfront development to be completed in over a decade, smashed the suburb record in 2024 with a 12th storey, half-floor residence selling for $6.29 million, nearly $1.5 million higher than the previous highest sale of $4.8 million in 2020. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25721 project_image_fid=299769]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> Residential Director, Andrew Roubicek sold three apartments within the recently completed development in 2025 and 2026 realising increases in value averaging 65 per cent compared to the original prices of the apartments sold off-the-plan.

Andrew said these sales underscored the unparalleled desirability of 160 Macquarie, located on the riverfront in one of Brisbane’s most sought after suburbs, to the local downsizer market. &nbsp;

“Most of the residents in 160 Macquarie are like-minded western suburbs people, downsizing from large homes and attracted to the design, size and expansive aspects across the river and northeast views towards the Brisbane city skyline," Roubicek said.

“Residents of 160 Macquarie also enjoy exclusive access to a rooftop sanctuary that features a range &nbsp;of lounge and dining areas with uninterrupted panoramic views. The state-of-the-art private pool, nestled beside the Brisbane River, further enhances the luxurious lifestyle on offer."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25721 project_image_fid=299764]

This demand for high quality, riverside residences has prompted QM Properties to release the final &nbsp;half floor penthouse, previously intended to be retained by the company, which has never been occupied. &nbsp;

The brand-new luxury 246 sqm sub-penthouse, designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>,&nbsp;has three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a master with walk-in robe including make-up bench and ensuite with freestanding bath, open plan living and dining, built in bar and wine display, three side-by-side carparks, and an entertainers balcony with uninterrupted, never to be built out views of both the Brisbane CBD &amp; Mount Cootha.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parkdale-vic-3195">Parkdale</a> may sit just south of Melbourne’s officially designated Bayside suburbs, but this small coastal pocket offers all the hallmarks of its neighbouring areas, at a considerably lower entry point to the property market.

Trains, beaches, dog parks and retail, the pillars of any Bayside lifestyle, are all thriving in Parkdale. It was these four factors, combined with a clear undersupply of new apartment developments, that drew boutique Bayside developer Lowe Living to the suburb around five years ago.

The group secured a site on Como Parade East, where it launched, and has now almost sold out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kallara-house-parkdale-by-lowe-living-129-137-como-parade-east-parkdale-vic-3195">Kallara House</a>.

Now, Lowe Living has returned to Parkdale, this time with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elanora-place-parkdale-152-como-parade-west-parkdale-vic-3195">Elanora Place</a> on Como Parade West, just a few minutes’ walk from the water.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148731 project_image_fid=364174]

Designed by Jackson Clements Burrows, Elanora Place will comprise 40 two- and three-bedroom apartments.

While “large-scale” is a term often overused in project marketing, the residences at Elanora Place genuinely live up to the label. Entry-level two-bedroom apartments, priced from $1.15 million, span nearly 115 sqm. Larger two-bedroom configurations, including ground-floor residences with courtyards, exceed 150 sqm, while three-bedroom homes range from 180 sqm to more than 220 sqm. These are priced between $1.75 million and $1.815 million.

A select number of residences also feature EV charging stations within private two-car garages.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148731 project_image_fid=364176]

The design of Elanora—translated as “a home by the sea”—draws on Parkdale’s architectural legacy and bayside charm, with careful consideration given to scale, materiality and local character, according to Jackson Clements Burrows.

Resident amenity has been curated to foster a sense of community, with a rooftop terrace offering sweeping bay views, built-in barbecue areas, and tranquil garden retreats designed to bring neighbours together in a relaxed coastal setting.

Construction of the low-rise development is already underway, led by Lowe Living’s in-house arm, Lowe Construction, with completion anticipated in early 2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bpg-developments">BPG Developments</a>’ Palm Beach project Liérre has raced to 35 per cent sold within its first two months on the market, as the Queensland builder-developer prepares to start construction in the coming two months.&nbsp;

The momentum adds to a strong early response for the Jefferson Lane address, which recently secured development approval for the $165 million beachfront-adjacent scheme.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149551 project_image_fid=364569]

Planned for a 1,733 sqm amalgamated site on the beach side of Gold Coast Highway,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bpg-developments">Liérre</a> will deliver 58 apartments, three townhouses and eight penthouses, bringing a scaled residential offering to one of the Gold Coast’s most in-demand coastal suburbs. The project is one block back from the beach, a position that has helped shape both its design approach and buyer appeal.

BPG Developments Co-founder Nick Parr said the project reflects the next stage of Palm Beach’s evolution. “<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bpg-developments">Liérre</a> reflects the next phase in Palm Beach’s evolution as one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after residential markets,” Parr said.&nbsp;

“Our vision was to deliver a project of enduring quality, one that responds to its beachfront location through thoughtful design and functionality.” He said BPG’s integrated builder-developer model gives the team greater control over quality, timelines and outcomes.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149551 project_image_fid=364572]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bpg-developments">Liérre</a> draws on Palm Beach’s coastal character through what the architect describes as a calm, finely detailed response to the shoreline setting. The palette leans into raw, earthy tones such as blush and rust, paired with travertine finishes, soft curves and organic forms.&nbsp;

Plus Studio Principal Chrisney Formosa said the building was “sculpted from the rhythm of the coast,” with a shell-inspired form and sand-hued facade intended to support Palm Beach’s emergence as a design-led beachfront neighbourhood.

Residents will also have access to a substantial wellness offering, including a gym, sauna, spa, outdoor shower, and an amenities deck with pool, cabanas, sunbeds and landscaping throughout.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149551 project_image_fid=364581]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> has continued to attract attention from both developers and buyers as the southern Gold Coast tightens in supply.

MOTIV Founder Carly Cottam said the suburb was the fourth most searched on the Gold Coast for property, citing its community feel and proximity to beaches and dining. She said Lierre would appeal to buyers seeking a luxury address at a relatively attainable price point, particularly given the rarity of a site just one block back from the beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149551 project_image_fid=364576]

For BPG, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bpg-developments">Liérre</a> is also part of a broader period of growth. The approval followed another recent green light for the developer’s $250 million Newstead project, taking its pipeline to around $500 million across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Co-founder Glen Williams said Palm Beach embodied the company’s focus on refined design, craftsmanship and long-term value over volume.

Rural Auction

<html><body>
Ray White Rural South Australia has eight rural properties going under the hammer.
The ongoing growth in farming land values in SA over the past few years has led to this flurry of auctions. 
The offering of Pine Drive (pictured above) presents an opportunity to acquire a 712 hectare parcel of land in the Farrell Flat area.
It's now in its fourth generation and 100th consecutive year of ownership in the same family name, Pine Drive is being offered for sale as a whole.
Ray White Rural SA Director Geoff Schell said some of the higher rainfall areas and more reliable cropping areas had seen capital growth of up to 20 to 30 per cent in the last two years.
<img src="https://f.datasrvr.com/f1/319/14297/Pinerow.JPG">
Mr Schell said, “many of the properties coming on to the market are from those exiting agriculture because they don’t have the next generation coming home to the family farm."
“They’re also coming from those who don’t have the scale of operation for business efficiency or don’t want to or are unable to increase debt levels to invest further into farm expansion."
“With the continuing dry across Australia, we’re also seeing very strong enquiry from within SA and NSW and the drier areas of Victoria for the higher rainfall areas of SA. The south-east region of SA has performed very well when many other areas have struggled."
<img src="https://f.datasrvr.com/f1/119/61884/Schaefer's.JPG"> “With the continued strength of the livestock sector, a number of our clients have sought opportunities to purchase grazing properties in south-east SA and higher rainfall areas of the Mid North and there’s also good enquiry for well-developed SA pastoral properties.
“We're also seeing investor interest in agriculture where both smaller private investors and high net worth investors see agriculture as a key investment area with solid returns and a bright future for the sector.
<img src="https://f.datasrvr.com/f1/419/73637/Smithams.JPG"> “Despite ongoing dry conditions for many areas of SA, many sales of agricultural and grazing land throughout SA have exceeded expectations in the last couple of years. In the reliable rainfall districts, we’ve seen demand outstripping supply. “South-east SA has seen a resurgence in enquiry levels in the past 12 months with buyers looking for the higher rainfall and reliability of this region," he concluded.

Pine Drive in Farrel Flat, SA offered after a century: Ray White

<html><body>
A Glanmire, NSW, has sold for $7.1 million – a significant amount over reserve, according to its selling agency.
The sale of <a href="http://ecomms.raywhite.com/collect/click.aspx?u=jRYOrR8N39R+6hBQZ7yXMt0Z3VIjNMZG1sL0iOZoOnpA/trL2FuXNBIVuoLU/yHZ&amp;rh=ff004a4e0f3c0c00611a22e1e64d9dd4a4c41939" target="_blank">4985 Great Western Highway</a>, known as Kenda Park, was Ray White’s biggest under the hammer last week.
Kenda Park includes three houses, excellent equestrian facilities and extensive farming infrastructure.
Ray White Emms Mooney rural sales specialist Peter Crampton said the 404.5 hectare property is a high-profile asset located 8 kilometres from Bathurst.
Mooney said the property is approximately 95 per cent arable, the property is suitable for lucerne or other fodder crop production, livestock fattening, breeding, and as a farm stay or B&amp;B-style accommodation.
“For a block that size being so close to town to be available really is rare and it came down to two parties that really wanted the property,” Crampton said. “There was strong enquiry throughout the campaign. We had in order of 40 email enquiries and about the same number of telephone enquiries resulting in 20 inspections of the property.” Kenda Park was purchased by a husband and wife who had been living in the local area for years. “Bathurst is really popular with local and Sydney buyers, and being just over the mountains, it’s perfectly placed for city and tranquility,” Crampton said. “We’ve also had some good recent summer rain so the property was looking great and presented well with good feed on it.”
Crampton said top Ray White Rural agent Sam D’Arcy represented the buyers.

<div class="column">
The historic New England high country property, Prestwick has been sold prior to auction.
Meares &amp; Associates had been scheduled to auction the property today.
It sold to a Sydney investor with other rural interests.
The farm had been initially listed in autumn by Roger Grant, the Tamworth-based cattleman who had $5 million to $5.5 million hopes.
With a history dating back to the 1840’s when botanist and explorer Cunningham took up the land grant at Prestwick, it was marketed as a well managed and improved cattle breeding property enjoying all the features of the high country, including strong principally trap and basalt soils, normally high rainfall, with over 50% established with well improved pastures, including a mix of phalaris, cocksfoot, rye and clovers.
Located 55km southwest of Walcha and 53km from the regional centre of Tamworth, the 1,171 hectare (2,893 acres) property has traditionally carried 450 Angus breeding cows and heifers, with the progeny regularly topping the Tamworth premium weaner sale in January, at 8 – 10 months of age.
Prestwick has seen an extensive development program over the past three years with now approximately 565 ha (1,250 acres) of well developed pasture country and a further 60 ha (150 acres) recently cleared and being prepared for new pasture sowing next autumn. 
There is also a potential to develop a further 160 ha (400 acres) with minimal timber clearing and pasturing. The property has also enjoyed a good top- dressing history in recent years with super applied again as recently as April this year.
The property includes a series of sheltered valleys, with excellent generic features including the principally rich trap and basalt soils.
At an altitude ranging from 800m – just under 1,000m above sea level, there's an annual average rainfall of approximately 36” per annum, and excellent water from the 2.5km frontage to the permanent Mulla Creek, approximately 31 large spring-fed dams, an equipped bore and a series of seasonal spring-fed creeks.
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
The major development program over the past three years has seen emphasis on fencing, including two efficient laneway systems to the south and west linking to the excellent new 500 head capacity all steel cattle yards complex. 
There is also a new all steel hay/machinery shed close to the existing operating improvements. Further innovation has included the upgrading of the electricity services with power lines now placed underground and also the sinking of a new bore close to the homestead.
The freshly painted and airconditioned Prestwick homestead is a classic well designed spacious two storey weatherboard home comprising 3 bedrooms, office, living and modernised kitchen, with easterly facing verandahs overlooking the established gardens. The adjoining 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom manager’s house is also in very good order.
Prestwick is also recognised for its lifestyle benefits with its attractive homestead and its excellent fishing resources – the Mulla Creek recognised as a major brown trout stream – 70,000 fingerlings fed into the Mulla in recent 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/2018/11/15/prestwick%202.jpg" alt="">
Chris Meares said Prestwick saw strong enquiry from Brisbane, rural Queensland, western New South Wales and Sydney.
"The owners of Prestwick have managed the extended dry conditions of the New England extremely well, always maintaining feed in front of their cattle.
"This has led them to minimise their cattle numbers in recent times and therefore, even with the small amount of rainfall received, the property is ‘grassing up’ and, hopefully given the summer storm pattern, should carry a good body of feed into the New Year.”

New England farm, Prestwick sold pre-auction

<html><body>
The southern New South Wales farm, Pejar Park, located just north of Goulburn, is being offered for sale by Sydney rural property specialists Meares &amp; Associates.
The offering is via Meares Online Auction to be conducted on 17 and 18 December this year.
Located 25 kilometres north of Goulburn adjoining the village of Woodhouselee, Pejar Park comprises 573 hectares (1,416 acres).
Meares says it could be regarded as a classic high country property (710 metres to 900 metres ASL) with its 75% basalt soils; the balance being granite and loams, its easterly aspect running to a 6 kilometre frontage to the large Pejar Dam.
<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/2018/11/12/property-sale-goulburn-pejar-park-3.jpg" alt="">
Meares commented the current owner Nicholas Rowe has not only preserved, but developed the property.

The long-held Kumbada farm at Jindivick has been sold by the Carnegie brothers after 72 years before its scheduled auction on December 8.
The sale price was not disclosed but is believed to be around $4 million.
The property spans 228.5 hectares and is one of the largest farm holdings in the district. It is located just to the north of the Princes Highway-Jindivick Road junction and close to the Drouin-Warragul area.
The selling agent was Rodwells Ruralco Property’s Damien Minogue.
A local beef cattle farmer is the new owner and has plans for a 300 cow-and-calf operation.
Originally purchased by the Carnegie brothers’ parents as a small dairy operation the acquisition of neighbouring holdings over the years created the sequence of long ownership and now presents the property in four titles.
“The Carnegie family dairy-farmed for many years but more recently Peter and John Carnegie converted it to livestock grazing with recent light stocking,” said Minogue.
“Over the years the Carnegie brothers have topped the Korumburra and more recently Leongatha markets many times with bullocks and vealers with their top quality grass-fed animals”.
The property has an eleven paddock subdivision.
“The improvements comprise the original three-bedroom homestead, plus a manager’s cottage plus another old cottage in need of renovation,” he said.
There are a number of support buildings including machinery sheds, an old dairy and the property has sealed road access.
“Good stock water resources are another feature with a creek frontage and a number of spring fed dams while this property is in a 900 mm annual average rainfall area”.
“I always considered it would be something of a signature sale as no comparable scale property has been offered in this area, nor will one probably be seen again and it is great to see it purchased by a local farming interest.

A circa 4,000 hectare rural landholding in Queensland’s premium cattle country has been listed for the sale via auction on July 20, the first time the land has been offered in more than 150 years.  
Located in Mundubbera, in Queensland’s Wide Bay-Burnett region, Lot 1 and 4 of Deepbank Station comprise two freehold titles covering nearly 4,187 hectares. 
The grazing land, comprising a mix of cleared and improved soil types, is being sold by the McCord family, which have a connection with the region spanning six generations. 
The listing is through CBRE Agribusiness’ Thomas Warriner, Geoff Warriner and Chris Holgar. 
“Properties in this area do no change hands often, which is testament to the productive nature of the region,” said Holgar. 
The property was originally timbered to Brigalow, Box and Ironbark trees, while grass types including Buffel, Creeping Bluegrass, Green Panic, Urochloa and Rhode support a productive cattle operation. 
The property’s major selling factors include the secure stock water resources, which include six bores, six dams and three creek systems, said Warriner.
Holgar said the areas timbered with Narrow Leaf Ironbark and Spotted Gum were also ideal for harvest as an additional source of income.

Family held cattle grazing land in Queensland up for auction

The world class winery Sweetwater, located in the rolling hills of the Hunter Valley, was withdrawn when listed to been auctioned today.
It was marketed at half the earlier price expectations.
Inspired by southern European vineyard estates, the<a href="https://jurds.com.au/listings/rural_sale-319321-pokolbin/" target="_blank"> 48 hectare Pokolbin holding now comes with $12 million plus hopes</a>.
Chinese buyers have heard of the repricing which triggered a spate of recent inspections by international visitors. But listing agent Alan Jurd said it was withdrawn because he didn’t have anyone willing to bid under auction conditions.
<div>"The vendor is very realistic however and has just given me instructions to reduce the price to above $12million," he said.</div>
Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz vines cover a third of the estate which dates back to the colonial 1840s.
Not just a winery and olive grove, the main residence is a stunning Mediterrean style construction that features private and guest wing accommodations.
Duncan Hardie's Sweetwater Wines purchased the land in 1997 with most of the vineyards dying or being grazed by cattle.
Hunter Valley wine veteran Brian McGuigan provided early advice on the layout and planting, having worked on the vineyard when he was about 18 years old.
It is being marketed by Alan Jurd of Jurds Real Estate as the "most significant country vineyard estate in Australia."
Alan had initially been asked to list it at over $30 million last year, then $15 million plus in the lead up to the auction.
Sweetwater Wines, part of the Hardie Holdings group, purchased the land in 1997 in Belford from Belford Pastoral Company, which was originally granted to the pioneering Richard Jones, a merchant and pastoralist.
In 1829 Jones had received 10,000 acres at Singleton in the Hunter Valley from where he established one of his finest vineyards in the Patrick Plains Shore at Sweetwater Creek off Old North Road. 
In 1844 from Jones’s first plantings, his vineyard produced a total of 2,000 gallons of wine.
