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.

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.
