Rivergum Homes - A Guide to South East Queenslandriverguminspired.com.au/Stock/SI-51287.pdf · Stockland, Australand, Urban Pacific and Pask to provide quality, turn-key home and

Astute investors and home buyers alike are quickly returning to the property market as a proven stable investment vehicle, after the dramatic slides in both share markets and superannuation managed funds during the 2009 global financial crisis.

Queensland’s economic growth has exceeded national growth now for 12 years straight. Yet for 7 of the last 8 years, dwelling production has been undersupplied.

The latest issue of the UDIA’s construction industry and performance report says that South East Queensland’s population growth, driven by overseas migration, is creating a demand for housing that is not currently being matched due to constrained dwelling production.

The accumulated undersupply of homes in Queensland is forecast to reach approximately 50,000 - more than a year’s production by 2010, the report added.

As a result of this demand/supply equation, rents continue to rise. Long-term projections are robust for continued strong returns and property value increases in the area.

The Growth CentresQueensland is the fastest-growing state in Australia, and welcomes 100,000 new residents every year on account of its robust economy and quality lifestyle, with 66% relocating to the state’s south-east corner. This continuing population growth places significant demand on residential land and housing supply and housing prices. This demand for housing encompasses the fast-growing south-east corner, from Caboolture in the North and Ipswich in the West down to the northern Gold Coast corridor.

To address demand, the Department of Infrastructure and Planning is leading planning and development reform, which involves streamlining Queensland’s planning and development assessment system to ease housing supply and affordability. The department is encouraging development of transit oriented developments, which integrate housing, retail and transport precincts.

QLD Major Infrastructure SpendQueensland’s economic and population growth is driving the demand for new infrastructure – including roads, water and energy networks, hospitals, schools and community facilities. Furthermore, the world’s growing demand for Queensland’s resources - coal, bauxite, zinc and copper - is also generating a need to upgrade port facilities, rail links, roads and energy networks to capitalise on emerging opportunities.

The Queensland Government has committed more than $100 billion to planning and delivering infrastructure projects to secure Queensland’s prosperity and lifestyle. Projects range from building new rail links to boost Queensland’s resource exports to improving water and energy supplies to secure a sustainable future for all Queenslanders. Projects cover a range of initiatives such as streamlining processes, encouraging housing affordability, and investing in new educational and industrial infrastructure.

SE QLD - Australia’s hot spots

The Government Growth PlanThe South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009 - 2031 is the State Government’s answer to the region’s population growth of about 100,000 new residents a year.

The plan promotes that people will live close to centres, based on key public transport hubs, and that they will catch buses or trains there to work, shop and enjoy recreation and leisure facilities.

Rivergum is meeting buyer needs with home and land packages throughout these locations.

The area encompasses the growth hot spot suburbs of Pimpama, Pacific Pines and Coomera, one of Australia’s top 10 residential growth centres, all of which boast exciting growth and huge future potential.

Located alongside the M1 Motorway, and an electric rail line linking Brisbane and the Gold Coast, this area attracts lifestyle seekers in large numbers.

The area is minutes from premier property locations such as Sanctuary Cove and Hope Island, and has direct river access to the boating and fishing playgrounds of Moreton Bay and Pacific Ocean via the Coomera River and Broadwater.

Affordability in this region won’t last long with strong population growth and fast paced new amenities.

$1 Billion Coomera Town CentreTo be underway shortly is the development of a new billion-dollar town centre with 9 defined precincts so residents can access everything from business, service and retail functions, as well as government services, transport, education and employment facilities to boutique shopping, as well as cultural and recreational facilities of regional significance.

The Coomera Town Centre within the Gold Coast’s Northern Growth Corridor, one of the most dynamic and quickly growing regions within south east Queensland. The town centre’s location and expected growth will make it a key driver of the Gold Coast economy. As such, the Coomera Town Centre was designated as a Major Development Area in accordance with the SEQ Region Plan 2005-2026.

As a Major Activity Centre, the Coomera Town Centre will service a catchment of regional significance, and accommodate key concentrations of employment and a significant residential population.

The Coomera rail station will become the heart of the town centre with surrounding development encouraging people to live, work and play in the area.
