<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

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.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

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

Whitsundays

<html><body>
Iluka, a luxury holiday rental on Hamilton Island, has been listed for sale at $4.25 million. 
The residence was designed by leading Whitsundays architect Chris Beckingham, with the key concept to accomodate two families.
It has two separate lounges, even two outdoor showers.
<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/2017/11/28/Iluka2.jpg" alt="">
Its infinity edge black pool looks like a billabong.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-hamilton+island-126638766%20" target="_blank">five bedroom house</a>, which fetches to $1,900 a night in peak season, is booked out for the next three months.
During Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, a minimum eight night stay reaps around $16,000.
<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/2017/11/28/Iluka3.jpg" alt="">
Wayne Singleton at Hamilton Island Real Estate is marketing the property as the ultimate in luxury and privacy.
Beckingham, a Buddhist architect, also designed the largest mansion in the Whitsundays.
That home spans two amalgamated blocks, next door to the late Beatle George Harrison's former holiday home.
Whitsundays Waters, a newly renovated home long considered one of Hamilton Island's premier properties, has also hit the market. It is for the first time in 20 years.
The north-west facing home was originally built in 1997, then rebuilt eight years ago, with a renovation undertaken just two years ago.
Set on Whitsunday Boulevard, the five bedroom, four bathroom spans over 800 sqm across two levels, with an oversize wrap around verandah making the most of the panoramic vista.
Outside there's a lagoon-style freshwater pool and poolside cabana on the 2000 sqm parcel along with a one bedroom, one bathroom caretakers cottage.
The listing through Wayne Singleton and Boyd Jackson at Hamilton Island Real Estate comes with two golf buggies - a necessity to travel around the carless Hamilton Island.
It comes with an asking price of $6.7 million, which includes all of the contemporary furniture.
The home has been obtaining income of $1,650 a night in the holiday rental market, according to Singleton.
Whitsundays Waters joins a long list of Hamilton Island trophy homes on the market.
Currently there's No City Limits, Southwinds, Jasmine House, Point Blue and Papillon, all on the market for over $3 million.

Luxury Hamilton Island holiday rental Iluka for sale

<html><body>
Victor Island in the Whitsundays is on the market for $3.5 million.
Vendors Paul Sullivan and wife Megan <a href="https://search.savills.com/en-com/property-detail/aus0000025074#/r/detail/AUS0000025074" target="_blank">purchased the island two years ago</a> and have since renovated.
It features a four-bedroom beach cottage on three hectares facing the Coral Sea
Wayne Holmes, Savills Residential lead agent said the island, situated about 50km south of Hamilton Island, said the asking price includes all furniture, equipment, the boat, tractor and more.
"The new owners could easily get DA approval for another house on the island, which would be ideal for family and friends, or to rent out as a holiday home, meaning it could also generate more income alongside the B&amp;B,” he said.
Vendors Paul Sullivan said when he purchased the property it looked like it was stuck in the ‘80s even though it was built in 1996,” he said.
“It was so dated. We completely renovated the whole island and had a fantastic cremation of the old furniture.
“We gutted the place inside and out – adding a new kitchen, new flooring, repainted, new furniture and we also replaced the deck.
“Everything had to be shipped over by barge.” 
“There are many beautiful islands in the Whitsunday and Coral Coast areas of Queensland but what sets Victor Island apart is that you can come ashore and literally drop your bags and start enjoying the lifestyle from that moment onwards.
“There are no renovations or repairs to be done. There is no infrastructure to create and there is no equipment or furnishings to buy. All that work has been done and virtually all of the equipment on the island is still under warranty.
“One of the key features that sets our island apart from others in the area is that it is all ours … we don’t share it with anybody,” Mr Sullivan said.
“Another is its location. It’s not in the middle of nowhere. A lot of others in the Whitsundays are isolated and you can only get there by a very long boat trip or flights. But Victor Island is less than two kilometres from the mainland and you can get there from a number of boat ramps including Grasstree Beach, Campwin Beach and Hay Point.
“It’s so peaceful here. If you’ve had one of those months, or years even, you can come here and it just melts away. And yet you still have all the comforts of home – you won’t miss the next episode of Game of Thrones.”
“Sitting on the private white sandy beach you can see whales and dolphins and turtles, which sometimes nest on the beach. And I actually saw a seal once.
“Some of the best fishing in Queensland can be had here including red emperor and barramundi, and oysters grow wild on the rocks so you can go down there and chisel them off and throw them on the camp fire for dinner.”
Renovations included the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with king and queen ensembles, with unique retractable blade ceiling fans in the bedrooms and airconditioning to the master. 
It includes a fully self-contained and completely renovated caretaker’s cottage, with a new kitchen and bathroom.

Whitsundays' One Airlie building blocks now available from $695,000

The Cape Gloucester Beach Resort near the Gloucester Passage has been listed for $5.99 million.
It's been listed by four Brisbane friends who pooled their money together to buy the resort as they all share a passion for the water.
There are four shareholders, Arthur Perrins, Michael Hodges, Richard Eaton-Wells and Mark Wilson. The investors bought the island for $2 million in 2012.
Located 45 minutes from Airlie Beach and opposite Shag Island, Gloucester Passage is a popular destination for boaties to anchor in the area.
The property comprises 13 hectares of bush and sand and is lined by several hundred metres of clean sandy beach.
On the premises is a licensed bar, restaurants and self-contained cabins with 45 beds.
The popular resort just hosted the Whitsunday Tourism Awards.
Kim Griffiths at Mackay and Marina Real Estate has the listing.
Griffiths confirmed that no development work has been done. 
“One of the group decided he needed to tidy up his affairs so the rest of the boys just decided they’ll have to sell it,” Griffiths told the Courier Mail.
They’ve used the resort for family holidays over the years but not as much as they’d like to, according to Griffiths.
“The boys haven’t done any development work there,” he said.
“They were going to get a DA pending to do some more beachfront cabins but the boys, they lost their urge to develop.” 
<div>
“It’s a profitable business, a successful business as a well-regarded restaurant and weekend venue,” Griffiths said.
</div>
“On any Sunday a couple of hundred people will go to Cape Gloucester for lunch.”
The majority of interest so far has been from potential Queensland buyers with a sentimental attachment to the region.
“The boys are going to sell it,” Griffiths said.
“They’re not just putting feelers out there. 
“They want to sell it so they want to be approached.”

Whitsundays beach resort listed for $5.99 million

<html><body>
The Whitsundays has two price points that are appearing active right now, according to Herron Todd White’s latest monthly market report.
The property advisory firm says that the first one is the budget market which is high $300,000 to low $400,000. At this price, you can expect to purchase:
• An older style 1980 to 1990 life style property or a modern liveable shed between Cannonvale and Proserpine.
• A new 3- to 4- bedroom home in Cannonvale or Jubilee Pocket.
• An older, larger 1980s to 1990s home on a larger lot with pool or shed.
Buyers in this market are mainly investors and first home buyers.
An example would be a three bedroom home at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-jubilee+pocket-123641526" target="_blank">15 Armada Crescent</a> (above) that is for sale for $399,000.
The other market that is moving is the upgrade market with values from $600,000 to $800,000, which purchases:
• A larger dwelling with ocean views;
• A larger modern dwelling with pool or shed on small acreage.
The main buyers in this market are home owners upgrading with some investors and holiday home purchasers.
The unit market is the slowest in the Whitsundays at the present time.
Within this market, the entry level unit market with values from high $100,000 to high $200,000 is the slowest and includes small 1- or 2-bedroom units in Cannonvale and Jubilee Pocket.
Buyers in this market are traditionally investors or first home buyers.

Budget market dominates Whitsundays property market: HTW

The Port Douglas trophy home, The Edge has been sold according to whispers from the Whitsundays.
Its the long-listed Charles Wright designed home floating off the side of Flagstaff Hill.
It was marketed as a <a href="https://www.raineandhorne.com.au/portdouglas/properties/island-point-road-port-douglas-4877-queensland" target="_blank">masterpiece in design and engineering achievement</a>.
The recent interest came after asking price was amended to $5 million through Barbara Wolveridge at Raine &amp; Horne Port Douglas Mossman.
Designed like an outdoor shell with cantilevered roof, the 555 sqm single level home comes with two bedrooms and a wet edge pool.
It was built for the late Sydney industrialist Peter Graham and his wife Claire who were captivated by the views over the Coral Sea and tropical rainforest mountains.
The Edge won the far North Queensland Eddie Oribin Award for building of the year at the 2015 AIA Architecture Awards.
Fresh whispers also suggest Craig and Connie Kimberley, whose family founded the Just Jeans Group, are close to a sale of their Port Douglas mansion Kalimna which had been listed through veteran agent Tony McGrath.

Choices abound for investors or owner occupiers looking to use their ‘lazy $500,000’ in property in Queensland’s Whitsundays.
Property valuation firm Herron Todd White analyse the choices in their July 2016 residential market report: 
“You can purchase land and build your new home or you can purchase a modern dwelling that has four-bedrooms and two-bathrooms with a double garage.”
“You can even throw in a shed or a pool in the suburbs of Jubilee Pocket or Cannonvale.
“You can buy a renovator’s delight in Airlie with no views within walking distance of the heart of Airlie. 
“If views are more your thing, you can purchase a 1990s high set with ocean and distant island views in Cannonvale and also Jubilee Pocket. 
“You can move out to the country with the little rural residential areas just on the outskirts and get yourself a 1990 to 2000 dwelling on one to two hectares. 
“How about purchasing yourself a modern unit with ocean and island views and use as a permanent or holiday rental?”
The middle level for the Whitsundays is $550,000, with entry level upgraders along with out of town investors. There is an 8% to 10% gross return on investments. 
Investors again are spoilt for choice depending on their investment requirements: 
• Dwellings with a view or land for capital growth 
• A new dwelling which will benefit from full depreciation and tax benefits. 
The Whitsundays has remained stable over the past year. 
Propery Observer found a recent sale at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-jubilee+pocket-122360038">13 Wahoo Court, Jubilee Pocket, Qld 4802</a>. This four-bedroom house sold for $420,000.

Queensland's Whitsundays property market was at the start of recovery cycle for houses while it was approaching the bottom of the market for units, according to valuation firm Herron Todd White's latest property clock.
It occupied the same position in April too, which also covered the fringe areas of Whitsundays.
Whitsundays has a few fringe suburbs and rural townships scattered mostly to the south and west of Whitsundays. The properties in these areas are small residential lifestyle and these continue to show a stable market.
However to the south, the areas of Midge Point and Bloomsbury are showing a downturn in the market and seem to be more affected by the Mackay market as when times were good, people where looking for their beach hut or fishing weekender and most buyers were from Mackay.
Now that the market in Mackay has had a large downturn and with the continuation of job losses there, fewer buyers are heading into this area. Laguna Quays was once a thriving golf course resort with unit and townhouse style accommodation.
"Since the golf course and all the amenities were closed, parts of the complex are now extremely run down with the exception of the units which the body corporate ensures are presented in a good condition," it noted.
These are currently selling at a fraction of the price they once were, however, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel for this area as there is a new owner so we will wait with interest to see any resulting changes. 
Property Observer went looking for recent sales in the fringe areas of Whitsundays and found two recent ones in Midge Point. There was no recent data for median sales for Midge Point on CoreLogic RP Data.
A three-bedroom holiday home at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-midge+point-120079325">8 Peters Avenue Midge Point Qld 4799</a> traded for $245,500.
