Your assistance and willingness to help has made this a very painless project, and the end result is exceptional. We will not hesitate in recommending Choice Home in the future. John & Rose, NSW If I buy another property in QLD you will be the first I contact. I have dealt with a lot of companies in my time but none as professional and great at keeping your customer up-to-date with every stage of what is going on as you. I was telling our service manager here how well you keep your customers informed of what is happening at every stage of the process. Tell your boss to not change anything about your process as it is perfect. Keep up the great work. Emma & Dean, SA Thanks for all your help, correspondence and.... patience! Emma and I have just started the ball rolling on another Choice Home (you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rid of us that easily)! Terry, QLD I recently entered into a contract with your company to build a duplex in the Big Sky Estate, Coomera QLD. I am writing to advise you of my utmost satisfaction with all aspects of the contract. From the outset, your administrative staff were friendly and obliging. I

found all my dealings with them to be most helpful in determining contract requirements and ensuring I met my obligations as the client. Likewise, the standard of the duplex and its build process were both excellent. I was well informed at all stages of the build regarding its progress. The finishing is to a high standard and the project is truly 'turn key' with tenants able to move directly in with nothing left to be completed. Please convey my congratulations to all your staff and feel free to use this correspondence in any way to promote your business. I thoroughly believe you deserve the accolade. I would recommend Choice Homes as a builder of choice to any prospective investor who is considering undertaking a similar project to mine. Thank you for your professional standards and excellent business model. KK, Malaysia Thank you for the update. I am happy with the service so far and it's very much better than what I have experienced in Malaysia. Thank you for the smooth and straight forward transaction. Steve & Allison, NSW We can honestly say that the Choice Homes experience was a very positive and comfortable one for us! You guys were great and the quality of the finished house is fantastic. We always felt up to date throughout the process and the regular photos were brilliant.

Thank you to all at Choice Homes that were involved in our project and if we look at another one of these investment gigs, we will be sure to check you guys out first of all. Kiran & Mel, VIC Mel and I would like to thank Choice Homes staff for all their help during the construction. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with all and hope to have many more dealings in the future. Jason & Alison, QLD Thank you so much to you all at Choice Homes. We appreciate everything that you did to make our purchase and the build so very easy and hassle free. We will certainly recommend you to any one who wishes to build. Once again, thanks so much for a great experience and we wish you all the best for the future. Russell & Diane, QLD I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff I have dealt with at Choice Homes for their assistance and professionalism. Thanks again for the lovely home Choice have built for us. Paul, NSW Not having purchased an investment property or a new home for that matter I have been impressed with the way you and your company looks after the buyer. Your company has kept us informed and the process of the update emails and photos has been excellent. Now the final inspections by two independent groups does ensure quality assurance.

A lower Australian dollar, rising Chinese middle class and rapidly growing influx of tourists, the upcoming 2018 world class sporting event and thriving university education sector are going to drive investment throughout the region.

GOLD COAST MARKET

The state's property market has picked up significantly more momentum than the southern capitals of Sydney and Melbourne and will deliver above average growth for the next five years at least. Queensland's growth is focused around the south east, a thriving mixed-use region encompassing the Gold Coast, Brisbane and fast-emerging satellite cites such as Ipswich and Beaudesert.

THE GOLD COAST The star of south east Queensland growth remains the Gold Coast. The city is now the fastest-growing region in Australia, with a rapidly-increasing population and a shortage of housing. Its northern growth corridor is proving a boon for residential property investors. Traditionally, the city’s property market surges behind Brisbane and the southern capitals. The Sydney and Melbourne markets are today well and truly overheated and Brisbane’s recent market growth is now showing signs of tapering off, leaving the Gold Coast on trend to boom. SQM Property’s latest research forecasts a 2016 rise in property values of 7-11% (making it one of the best

performing regions in Australia) and awarded the city’s market a phenomenal 4.75 stars out of 5. In September 2015, financial expert and co-host of Channel 7’s Sunrise, David Koch, praised the Gold Coast’s property marketing and quoted the SQM Property research to the Gold Coast Bulletin. Mr Koch told the News Limited masthead that the Gold Coast “is still undervalued according to SQM ... there are still bargains to be had”. Gold Coast apartment sales have also hit their highest level in five years, further hard evidence that the city’s market is moving fast.

ECONOMY AND EMPLOYMENT

•

Queensland’s economy has experienced the second-highest average annual growth rate of any Australian state or territory over the last 20 years.

•

Queensland accounts for 20.3 per cent of Australia’s total employment.

•

Health care and social assistance, professional, scientific and technical services, construction and mining are forecast to provide more than 60 per cent of employment growth in the next five years.

kilometres The Gold Coast is Australia’s sixth-largest city, with a population expected to reach approximately 650,000 by the end of 2018. Geographically, the city is a lifestyle, residential and employment hub of one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions – southeast Queensland. Covering an area of 1,400sqkm, the Gold Coast’s boundaries extend from just south of Beenleigh to Coolangatta, taking in South Stradbroke Island and part of Moreton Bay, and extending west to the hinterland of Mount Tamborine and the Lamington and Darlington Ranges. Welcoming more than 11 million visitors per year, it is Australia's leading tourist destination, with a large concentration of holiday accommodation in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. According to the City of Gold Coast, the Gold Coast enjoys a growth rate of nine per cent and has access to an economic catchment of three million people. Since 2001, the local economy has almost doubled in size from $13.4 billion to an estimated $23.3 billion. In 2018, the Gold Coast will host one of the largest elite multi-sport events in the world, providing unprecedented international exposure and commensurate business, trade and investment opportunities. Some of the city’s brightest residential real estate prospects are located in tightly held areas of the northern Gold Coast, as 18 URBAN APPEAL #02 | 2016

highlighted by noted demographer Bernard Salt in his 2015 Beyond the Horizon report on the Gold Coast’s future growth. A recent article published on 19 November, 2015 by the Australian Financial Review's Smart Investor found that nine of the top ten performing suburbs in Queensland were from the Gold Coast as investors looked to capitalise on gains made elsewhere and diversify. Choice Homes, a leader in the construction of the city’s north growth corridor for more than a decade, has several exciting projects in the region. Our newest residential estate for 2016 is Norman – Dee Springs. Sited for close proximity to the Coomera Town Centre, Marine Precinct, TAFE and the Coomera train station, this will be one to watch. New stages have also been released at Leda Living in Pimpama, a project so popular it’s warranted construction of two display homes due for completion February 2016. More stages will be released throughout 2016 to keep up with market demand. Pimpama Village at Pimpama has been a hit with owneroccupiers and more affordable packages will be rolled out in 2016. Another new estate, Tallagandra Heights at Holmview, has also caught the market’s attention, with its close proximity to the Beenleigh CBD, Bahrs Scrub High School and 18hole golfing proving a winning combination.

BEAUDESERT The Scenic Rim town of Beaudesert is emerging fast on the back of favourable geography and significant infrastructure advancement.

Beaudesert’s population is forecast by the Scenic Rim Council to triple by 2036 as the region emerges as a significant satellite of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, both less than an hour away.

Demographers point to the SDA and other strong infrastructure underpinnings as key stimulants to Beaudesert’s growth, while a tightly held market and low supply will keep property values strong.

Much of the city’s growth is underpinned by the Bromelton State Development Area, a 15,000ha area less than 6km from Beaudesert.

Beaudesert’s Scenic Rise estate will soon have new land releases and a second estate, Brooklands Drive, will build on interest in the area and provide a consistent supply of stock for clients seeking quality Beaudesert investment.

Included in the SDA is the Bromelton State Industrial Park, an 1,800ha parcel that will deliver an estimated 18,000 new jobs to the region.

Major Infrastructure Projects

MACKAY The Mackay property market’s bounce-back is well underway, stimulated by significant infrastructure spend and a surging regional tourism sector.

The Queensland government has approved the $16 billion Adani Group Carmichael Mine project, which includes construction of a $2.2 billion rail line linking pit to port, making it Australia’s largest thermal coal mine. Combined with rail and port operations, the project is forecast to provide more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs for the next 60 years. The city is also scheduled to be connected to the National Broadband Network well ahead of Queensland population centres Brisbane and the Gold Coast, a move predicted to stimulate local business growth.

A $408 million redevelopment of the Mackay Base Hospital, including the opening of A, K abd B blocks and the new Birth Centre.

•

A $17.6 million upgrade to the Mackay Hospital and Health Service, including a refurbishment of the emergency department, improvements to child, youth and family health services, and specialist medical services.

•

The in-progress redevelopment of the Mackay Botanic Gardens, including 30ha of masterplanned parklands that will transform the treasured asset into an ‘eco-attraction’ and centre of science education.

Analysts say the population growth is spurred by people moving to Mackay for reasons other than just work – an improved lifestyle, a milder year-round climate and the benefits of a vibrant community. Mackay’s location as gateway to the Whitsundays underpins its surging tourism sector, which Tourism and Events Queensland ranks as the strongest regional market in the state. In 2015, domestic visitor numbers rose an astounding 25.9 per cent to 817,000, while holiday visitors also saw a jump,
