85,000 on the way,forum hears

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE GREATER Geelong region can expect an influx of 36,000 families looking for affordable housing, an expert panel has predicted.

The panel, at an Urban Development Institute of Australia lunch forum in Geelong last Friday, told guests the region could conservatively expect another 85,000 people during the next 25 years.

A land supply shortage in the region was creating “enormous pent-up demand”, which was in turn putting pressure on the planning system.

The lunch heard from a panel of four speakers comprising Rob Burgess, of residential developer Amex Corporation, Bendigo Bank regional manager Pat Murnane, City of Greater Geelong councillor Andrew Katos, who holds council’s planning portfolio, and Herron Todd White national research director Richard Jenkins.

The panel addressed issues of land supply in the region given a shortage of sites and finance, which was threatening affordability.

Mr Jenkins said families seeking affordable housing would target Geelong because rising interest rates were making homes in Melbourne too expensive.

“Geelong offers affordability and will benefit as a result,” he said.

“People are more willing to commute and the region’s workforce is more diversified. Regional centres offer an alternative to crowded metropolitan areas.”

Mr Murnane told the lunch that regional centres had received less attention in the past but State Government was now demonstrating

Speaking out: Richards Jenkins, Pat Murnane, Rob Burgess and councillor Andrew Katos on the UDIA lunch forum panel.

Picture: John Conway 49310 a commitment to Geelong. employers and build infrastructure and we need “Regional centres will grow in importance to attract lower-density housing projects.” nationally to absorb population growth,” he Mr Murnane said the planning and said. development issues needed urgent attention.

“I have some apprehension regarding the “I’d hate to think that developments could be targets for employment, housing and embroiled in red tape.” infrastructure, however. We’ll need to attract Cr Katos said the region was already “behind

the eight ball” on infrastructure and services such as health, police and transport.

“We’ll need to catch up before we go much further, otherwise we’ll lose our attractiveness as an affordable housing region.”

Mr Burgess said State Government should intervene in the planning process for Torquay developments.

“Whether that is an agency of the state government or another agency, Torquay needs the next level of assistance,” he said.

“All development areas from Armstrong Creek to Pakenham now have some level of State Government involvement.

“The Torquay community is more attuned and sensitive to every decision that is made. Surf Coast needs an intervening agency.”

Mr Burgess said families moving to Geelong from Melbourne expected cheaper housing.

The global financial crisis had a significant impact, he said, with some developments going under because they were too highly geared.

“Developments were based on pre-GFC prices but did not have sufficient capitalisation and when prices fell they were unsustainable.”

Mr Murnane said fewer local banks were financing residential development, while international lending options has also decreased.

“Banks have had losses in every sector and thus they are more averse to risk,” he said.

“Applications face internal competition for funding but ultimately return and risk will decide if applications are successful or not.”

Mr Jenkins predicted the next regional development fronts were Torquay, Clifton Springs and west of the ring road.

Hocking Stuart Geelong is delighted to introduce the newest member of our Property Management Department, Erin Carvill.

Erin Carvill has one simple ethos in life: “To be the best at everything I do.” As Property Manager at Hocking Stuart Geelong, her positive attitude, passion and happy-go-lucky nature has earned her the respect and friendship of both clients and colleagues.

Born and raised in the vicinity and with five years experience working in the local real estate market, Erin has a wealth of expertise and knowledge to impart to potential new residents. “Geelong has so much to offer,” she says. “There are great places to eat such as Mexican Graffiti and Cafe Panache, there are beautiful beaches along the way to the Great Ocean Road, great parks like Rippleside and Melbourne is not far away either.”

For Erin, the real highlight of her work is “achieving great results for her clients”.

Though proud of her own personal successes, she feels greatly assisted by the resources made available at Hocking Stuart. “Our innovative online house hunting system and the incredible network all around Victoria certainly make life easier,” she says. “The team is very dedicated and professional and everyone works so hard to help our clients find what they are looking for.”

t’s just like those cute French farm cottages on TV as the Tour de France whisks by – except it’s in the heart of Newtown.

The French provincial tone of this Victorian era property flows tastefully through the home, giving the living spaces in particular a relaxed, up-market yet rural feel.

The open-plan rear of the home incorporates the kitchen, meals area and living room complete with open fireplace.

The spectacular conservatory overlooking the manicured gardens enhances the feel.

And when it comes to location, there’s not much better spot to be than Skene Street and an easy walk to shopping, schooling or dining.

Both bedrooms boast ensuites and built-in robes, while a study with built-in bookcases could easily become a third bedroom.

Despite the cottage design, there’s an abundance of storage in the laundry. Ducted heating, split-system heating and cooling and an alarm are prestige standards.

There’s a side-drive to a remote lock-up garage.
