Invest Where Growth Is Already Underway  

The best investment opportunities are found in markets where population, employment and infrastructure are already moving in the right direction—not where growth is simply being forecast.


This premium townhouse is positioned within one of Australia's fastest-growing regions, supported by significant infrastructure investment, a resilient local economy and strong housing demand. With a Single Contract structure, it is also SMSF suitable, providing eligible investors with the opportunity to secure residential property through their super before the upcoming lending changes.


No Time to Waste  

The 10 August 2026 deadline is fast approaching.


Have you already set up your SMSF but still haven't found the right investment vehicle?


Time is running out. After 10 August 2026, Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) will no longer be able to borrow to purchase residential property under the current legislation.


This property's Single Contract structure makes it SMSF suitable, giving eligible investors the opportunity to secure a quality residential investment before the current borrowing rules come to an end.


Market Snapshot  

  • Median House Price: ~$835,000

  • 12-Month Capital Growth:8–10%

  • Median Weekly Rent: ~$670

  • Gross Rental Yield: ~4.2%

  • Vacancy Rate: ~0.8%

  • Current Population:510,000+

  • Forecast Population (2046):730,000+


With low vacancy rates, consistent capital growth and a rapidly expanding population, the market continues to offer strong long-term investment potential.


Why This Market Continues to Perform  

Population Growth Supporting Housing Demand  


The region is expected to welcome more than 220,000 additional residents by 2046, driven by interstate migration, expanding employment opportunities and continued housing affordability.


As demand for housing continues to rise, quality investment properties are well positioned to benefit from stronger rental demand and long-term capital growth.


Infrastructure Investment Driving Future Growth  

Growth is supported by billions of dollars committed to major infrastructure projects, including:


  • More than $3 billion invested in major highway upgrades.

  • A multi-billion-dollar passenger rail project improving future connectivity.

  • Expansion of higher education facilities.

  • New schools, healthcare services and community infrastructure.

  • A major development precinct expected to create thousands of new jobs while delivering new commercial and residential opportunities.


These investments strengthen connectivity, improve liveability and provide long-term confidence in the region's continued growth.


Our comprehensive Investment Presentation explores additional infrastructure projects and future developments supporting the area's long-term outlook.


A Strong Economy Supporting Investment Performance  

The regional economy generates more than $20 billion in Gross Regional Product (GRP) annually while supporting over 180,000 local jobs across diverse industries including:


  • Healthcare & Social Assistance

  • Education & Training

  • Construction

  • Manufacturing

  • Professional Services

  • Retail & Logistics


A diversified economy helps provide employment stability while supporting ongoing housing demand and long-term investment performance.

Important SMSF Update: The Clock Is Now Ticking

The new legislation restricting SMSF borrowing for residential property officially received Royal Assent on 26 June 2026, triggering a 45-day transition period before the changes take full effect.


The Critical Deadline: 10 August 2026

To secure a residential property purchase using an SMSF loan under the current rules, the Contract of Sale must be signed and exchanged on or before 10 August 2026 in the Bare Trust name. In order to do this, the address of the investment must be known.


Importantly, settlement does not need to occur before this date. As long as contracts are fully executed before the deadline, the purchase should remain protected under the existing rules.


For investors considering SMSF residential property, timing is now critical.

The proposed SMSF lending changes referred to above are subject to legislative processes and implementation. Rental estimates, yields and market information are indicative only and should not be relied upon as guarantees of future performance. Purchasers should obtain independent financial, taxation, legal and lending advice before making any investment decision.
