It is all happening in Newman By Kurt Wallace

Newman is currently experiencing a massive demand for housing, by all industry sectors. This demand is assisting in the dramatic increase in sale and rental values. At present, Newman has demonstrated growth of 14 per cent in the last twelve months to its median house price, and almost 23 per cent in the last three years (REIWA 2011). As demand increases on sale values, rental values also increase. “Newman [property market] is also experiencing increase in rental values of between $100 to $350 per week at their bi-annual market reviews,” says Tracey Gray, Crawford Realty Newman Property Manager.
near future, which forms part of an overall release of up to 382 house sites, parks and other social facilities. At present, there are over 200 properties to be completed in Newman across several sites by mid-next year, including Kurra at Newman, and Megara’s The Fairway development. Although this seems like a large amount of property to be completed at the same time, this will only dampen the growth, not stop it. Projects like the BHP’s Rapid Growth Production 5 (RGP 5), the Jimblebar Mine Expansion and Hancock Prospecting’s Roy Hill all require both construction and operational staff. RGP 5 has provided 2,000 construction jobs and 950 operational jobs once construction is completed.
Recently a one-bedroom unit was secured at a rental value of $900 per week. The neighbouring threebedroom unit was leased by a large company at $1700 per week and it also sold for $625,000, giving it a return on investment of 14.1 per cent.
These projects have increased the demand for commercial and industrial work space in Newman by locally based support companies. The much-awaited Landcorp Stage Three release in the Light Industrial Area where 21 lots between 2,000sqm and 4,527sqm will somewhat assist these companies by supplying suitable work space for them for the time being.
Newman is expected to double its population in the next three years, from 7,500 to 15,000, causing further demand on housing. This increase in demand and the shortfall of short-term accommodation has seen a decrease in tourism traffic to the town, therefore affecting businesses in the process.
Mining camps or villages are being used to accommodate mining staff, either on site or in town, to reduce demand on local housing. These camps include the 2,000-bed Kurra Village, 1,200-bed onsite Yandi Village, and other small villages in and around Newman.
Currently, Pilbara Cities, which is a Royalty for Regions initiative, and Landcorp are working on several projects with the state government, Shire of East Pilbara and local businesses to counteract these negative effects of demand and lack of affordable housing. These projects form part of the Newman Town Revitalisation Plan and they’re identifying the economic, social and town-planning strategies required to drive population growth and businesses and infrastructure to maintain population growth.
Housing is not just an issue for local businesses and ancillary services. It is an issue for BHP too. BHP and the Shire of East Pilbara are currently working on several projects to assist with the expansion.
Landcorp will be expected to release 48 residential lots in Stage 1B in the
Choosing Perth or Pilbara when asked where to invest by people seeking positively geared investments is not hard to answer. But when you have to choose which town you will purchase your next positively-geared property, just remember that Newman is the iron ore centre of Australia, and the powerhouse of the West Australian economy.
Kurt Wallace has worked in the property sector for the past eight years, with the last several in residential sales. As a partner in an awardwinning team in Perth he recognised the potential of real estate in Newman and relocated there from Perth six months ago. Since then he’s already won a “top property management office” award, and he’s hardly even begun.

Western Australia’s resources boom is creating thousands of jobs around Karratha, yet there still remains a massive undersupply of housing. Karratha is on the brink of becoming the state’s next city, with over $170b worth of resource projects under way or about to commence in the Pilbara. This brand new proposed boutique complex features nine one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments, specially designed with company workforce needs in mind. The executive finish is particularly attractive to corporate tenants, with little accommodation of this standard available in the market. The design incorporates a separate bedroom with built-in robes and a modern and stylish kitchen and bathroom. Ceramic
tiles are used on the floors throughout and the split system air-conditioning has individual controls. There are stainless steel fans in lounge and bedroom. A few minutes’ walk to the Centro Shopping Centre, major banks, post office, restaurants, Woolworths and Coles, they are ideally situated to benefit from the
town’s growth.
The complex includes private outdoor living areas, dedicated storage units and common area with below-ground pool and barbecue facilities. These apartments will set a new precedent in upmarket unit accommodation.

Stunning apartments, stunning returns z These apartments offer the opportunity for a great lifestyle
Ideal for your first investment When looking to secure your first positively geared investment property, you’re well advised to stick with a modern property to ensure little or no maintenance and great rental return! This 10-year old-villa ticks all those boxes and offers the potential to achieve an ROI of 10.8 per cent per annum from the income. Located in a popular South Hedland complex, this secure three-bedroom, two-bathroom villa is an ideal low maintenance investment property. The villa is part of a gated complex that has a large swimming pool, communal barbecue area, undercover entertaining areas, a double lockup garage and easy care gardens on auto-reticulation. This highly popular unit complex is always in high demand on the company leasing market and has a very low vacancy rate year round. It offers companies a secure living option for employees and as such they command outstanding rental prices on the corporate market. This property is currently leased at $1400 per week, with the potential to achieve $1500 per week at the next lease review.
Be quick to secure these brand new apartments currently under construction in booming South Hedland; they are backed by a highly reputable developer.
then watch them increase over the coming months. The stylish modern design with rendered finish of these twobedroom apartments gives a great first impression. They have separate living and dining areas and a good-sized U-shaped kitchen. Both the double bedrooms have built-in robes. Outdoors there are spacious courtyards and a dedicated car bay and storeroom. The complex has a drying court and hidden bin storage and full turn key completion is expected in June 2012. The last similar style apartment complex in South Hedland sold in in weeks and was fully leased prior to settlement. Don’t be afraid of the “off the plan” developments, we can help you every step of the way with deposit bonds, depreciation experts and the all-important finance with some major banks lending up to 95 per cent.
These apartments are really the first of their kind in the South Hedland market and offer a unique, reasonably priced point for a new apartment – they will lease at settlement for $1500 per week to the corporate leasing market with an outstanding return of 11.15% plus depreciation benefits. With a very tight leasing market and vacancies rates at near zero, there is a big likelihood that by the completion of these apartments in March 2012 the rental return will be even higher, based on current increases over the past three months. Take advantage of buying off the plan by securing at today’s pricing and projected returns and

“The experience has taught me a lot about how building design and construction methods up here have to be different to anywhere else in Western Australia. “For builders not familiar with this region there are plenty of pitfalls ranging from what I call ‘crab hole’ soil through to building supervisors not taking personal responsibility for the work of tradespeople employed on the project,” he said. Thomas Building uses a quality control system that requires the building supervisor to sign off on every detail of the project. “I want the supervisor to have checked that the right number of bolts have been used to secure the roof and he has to actually sign that it has been done. “It’s how the client can be assured they are getting something that has been well built and can withstand everything that nature can throw at it,” he said. Alan said he has seen new materials and construction methods released and has adopted some of them, but his company uses three standard elements: concrete slabs, steel wall frames, and engineered timber roof trusses. “In my opinion there is no better combination for safe and comfortable houses in this part of the country.”

“Suitable housing is critical to ensure community services such
Hedland, Kununurra, Derby, Roebourne, Halls Creek and
as education; health; drug and alcohol counselling; Aboriginal community health care; and legal services can continue to operate,” Mr Buswell said. “These 58 houses will provide employees of NGOs delivering these critical State Governmentfunded services in the North-West with much-needed affordable rental options.

NGO staff will move into most of the properties this month, with the remainder to be occupied early in 2012.

Sell when you’re ready Local market column with Morgan Crawford
I am often asked by clients, friends and family before selling a residential home, is it the right time? This is something that is 50 per cent personal and 50 per cent about the condition of the market. While January, prior to school starting again, is a great time for selling houses, job requirements, personal circumstantial and financial stance can all be contributing factors to decision making. Andrew Winter, of Selling Houses Australia, recently summed it up perfectly when he said ‘’Don’t let the time of the year push you into sale mode if you are not prepared. By prepared, I mean are you ready financially, personally and with the presentation of the home”.

With 111 properties currently for sale in Karratha and 83 available for sale in Port Hedland there is strong property competition between owners as we near the end of 2011. Being mentally prepared is important – accept your agent’s information regarding the market and work with them to ensure your property sells for the best price the market has to offer. Property presentation is something that should, and will, be drummed into you by all proactive agents; first appearances in this market can often mean the difference between a full price offer and the deterrence of a buyer. Historically December and early January are quiet periods for both Karratha and Port Hedland. Mining giants such as RIO Tinto and BHP generally use this time to conduct general site maintenance whilst larger portions of their work force take extended leave to visit family and loved ones over the coming festive holidays. Local buyers and out of town investors in my experience are doing the same around this time of year, so buyer attention will slow down as the year comes to a close. If you are looking to list your property for sale in the market, make sure it is truly the right time for you, your family and your personal circumstance. For most it’s the largest financial asset you hold, take your time and trust in an appointed professional to get the job done properly.
