With a market economy such as Australia’s there are many opportunities for individuals to make healthy financial gains provided they understand the market. One area of investment that has always been popular is investing in real estate.

It has been shown over time that buying property as an investment offers good returns and capital growth. However, it needs to be remembered that with any investment the investor’s personal plans and goals need to be part of the equation. Investing in residential real estate is for the long-term and this needs to be appreciated.

We hear property investment stories from time to time that seem too good to be true. The rule here is that what seems too good to be true probably is. As in any free market, the level of supply and demand is the main driver of prices and this is no different when it comes to real estate. It can be seen over time that boom and bust cycles are ever present. There are periods when, like today in the Pilbara, changes in the dynamics of the area and its population will result in swings of supply and demand not been seen before. With the development plans for the area now in place those with rental properties have to understand the number of properties available will influence rental income. It is important to have plans in place and be prepared to

adjust to the market conditions.

should allow for all eventualities.

The number of properties available for rent and the price will help determine if a tenant is signed up. A vacant property will not deliver rent for the investor: no tenant equals no income.

Making a decision to invest in property based on market conditions at the time and not looking at the longer term will result in hardship if the rental income falls short of what was expected.

It is important to remember that just as things have changed from what they were as little as a year ago, they will not always be as they are today.

Landlords should always be prepared to adjust the rent being asked to meet market expectations because it will be the difference between income and no income.

The movement of people in any society is relevant to the needs for housing and this is more apparent in Western Australia and Queensland.

By appreciating market forces plans can be made and adjusted so the investment remains viable.

As work is available populations become more dynamic and as the availability of work declines so will the number of people in an area.

When the situation changes, then rents can be increased. As all markets are driven by supply and demand it needs to be realised nothing stays the same.

Investing in these areas requires careful consideration of all the factors and investors

It also needs to be understood that quite often change brings opportunities.

Karratha’s newest residential estate has commenced construction, with earthworks well underway. This vibrant new community will comprise 195 traditional lots, 6 grouped housing sites and a further site that can accommodate up to 50 houses.

Stage 1 coming Soon RegiSteR youR inteReSt today Toll Group is the latest tenant to buy a lot at the Gap Ridge Industrial Estate.

Toll Group’s move a vote of confidence

www.jingarri.com.au

A 15-hectare lot at Gap Ridge Industrial Estate has been bought by the Toll Group. The State Government’s delivery of strategic industrial land in the Pilbara continues with the sale at LandCorp’s Gap Ridge Industrial Estate to leading integrated logistics provider Toll Group. Toll Group will develop a fully operational transport centre for the majority of its Karratha business services, comprising warehouses, workshops, offices and driver exchanges. Initially, the company will employ about 40 local staff with a view to further expansion as other business services start operating out of the site. Regional Development and Lands Minister Brendon Grylls said the decision by Toll Group to move

An artist’s impression of Gap Ridge Industrial Estate. into the estate provided further evidence the government was delivering high quality industrial land, tailored to the needs of major businesses. “The location of the industrial land at Gap Ridge, close to the town centre and Karratha Airport, is proving to be an attractive and logical choice for businesses looking to locate in the Pilbara,” Mr Grylls said. “For Toll Group, the site

provides a strategic development opportunity, due to its proximity to key markets in the resources sector.” The company will become the latest high-profile business to take up residence at Gap Ridge, after leading Australian engineering company Monadelphous bought a 6.9ha lot at the LandCorp estate earlier this year. The 260ha estate near Karratha will yield 108 lots in eight stages.

Expressions of Interest Karratha City Centre Traders Reference Group LandCorp and the Shire of Roebourne recognise that an important part of Karratha City Centre Infrastructure Works Project is to keep residents as well as owners and occupiers of businesses within the city centre well informed on the project stages.

Estate on tap for growth Well-situated among a concentration of Port Hedland’s smaller industries and contractors, Wedgefield Industrial Estate offers excellent potential for a variety of businesses servicing the mining, construction and transport industries. More light industrial land was recently made available to help meet the growing demands of industry in the Pilbara with 39 lots available by offers to purchase. Hedland Junction, within the

Wedgefield Industrial Estate, will attract new businesses to the area and help with the expansion of existing Hedland industry. Wedgefield is about 12km south of Port Hedland and 5km from South Hedland. A range of lots remains available from 2000sqm to 3ha for both light industrial and transport use. The transport-use lots have been planned to meet heavy haulage companies’ needs with wider roads and dual-road access to enable easy flow-through for traffic. The area also provides wide road reserves and intersections

that can accommodate B doubles, B triples and quads. For more information call David Lamb from MLV Real Estate on 0411 597 952, or Rob Fry, from Ray White Port Hedland on (08) 9140 2300. A 7096sqm ($2,095,000) lot remains available from the September 2010 Stage 2 light industrial release. For more information contact Morag Lowe, from Hedland First National, on 9173 9200. If you’re a landowner and looking for an industrial builder, visit the Master Builders Western Australia website for more information.

Key to this will be the formation of a City Centre Traders Reference Group (CCTRG), intended to be an important forum within the project’s overall communications framework. The primary objectives of this group will be to: • Consider issues and impacts of the project on the community • Circulate relevant information from CCTRG meetings to the wider community. Individuals selected for the CCTRG will become vital contributors in realising the Karratha City Centre vision. For more information, or to obtain an Expressions of Interest form and Terms of Reference, please contact Jacinta Harvey on 0429 770 119 or email jacinta.harvey@landcorp.com.au Nominations close at 5pm WST on 1 August 2012.

Rates pause right, but too much red tape Real Estate Institute of Australia president Pamela Bennett says the Reserve Bank’s decision on July 3 to leave official interest rates unchanged was not unexpected and an appropriate one. It

followed

successive

reductions at its two previous meetings. Ms Bennett said while there were some indications property markets might have improved slightly, the full effect of the May and June cuts would not be clear for several months. “We believe the RBA was overly cautious in not moving

earlier this year, but now on the back of two successive rate cuts, it is understandable they will take time to assess their effect before taking further action,” Ms Bennett said. Ms Bennett said recent media reports about a June recovery in the property market needed to be considered in the context of

where it had been in the past couple of years with caution required in using one month’s figures. “That’s not to say we wouldn’t expect an improvement in the aftermath of interest rate cuts, but there are a number of other measures we need to take into account before we can call it a change in direction,”

Ms Bennett said. The REIA boss said the difficulties faced by those wanting to enter the market had not been resolved. Issues such as inefficient state taxes, excessive red tape and land-release delays urgently needed to be addressed by COAG. “Interest rates are an

important consideration when deciding whether to rent or to buy,” she said. “But there are still a host of other barriers for first home buyers that need to be overcome, too. We can’t expect all the work to be done by the RBA,” Ms Bennett said..

Have your say on industrial land development in Onslow. Crawford Realty’s Ellie Campbell, PA to Hayden Crawford, and general manager Louise D’Addario.

The Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area (ANSIA) is being master planned to accommodate a hydrocarbon processing and associated industries precinct. The ANSIA, located 12km south west of Onslow, comprises approximately 8,000ha and will include a State Port, Common-User Coastal Area, Multi-User Infrastructure Corridors and Heavy Industrial Area for LNG and Hydrocarbon processing. We are proposing to initially develop a 100ha Support/General Industrial Area to accommodate supporting services for the Ashburton North proponents during the construction and operation of the Strategic Industrial Area. To help us cater to the demand for industrial land in Ashburton North, and ensure the optimum planning of the estate, we are inviting interested parties to complete our online survey. We have engaged a sales agent to contact businesses that complete our online survey to discuss their specific needs, provided that permission to contact is given. The results of the survey will help determine the size and layout of the first stage of the General Industrial Area and ensure the estate is planned in a way that meets the requirements of all potential users. The survey closes midday (WST) Wednesday 8 August. For more information visit landcorp.com.au/ashburtonnorthindustrial

Client shares his good fortune They started with a high tea and raised $1200 but then a generous client decided to chip in to share the wealth he has made in the Pilbara. Crawford Realty received a surprise donation of $10,000 from a client in the eastern states for their cancer research fundraiser. Louise D’Addario, general manager of Crawford Realty, South Hedland, said everyone in the office was delighted to receive the surprise cheque from Jakab Golding in NSW. “Jakab learnt about Crawford’s recent high tea fundraiser for the Cancer Council on our facebook page and decided that he wanted to make a significant contribution to the worthy cause,” Louise said. “Our high tea raised $1200 for the Cancer Council and we were stunned and delighted to receive this additional

$10,000 from Jakab in the post last week. “Jakab has been a long-term client of Crawford Realty and purchased a number of investment properties through our company. “His prime motivation to send us this cheque was to share the wealth he has made through our company with less fortunate people in our community. “All the funds raised by Crawford Realty will be used by the Cancer Council to assist people afflicted by this disease as well as fund vital research into preventing, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. “It is estimated that one in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85.” Anyone who would like to make a donation to the Cancer Council can do so at www.cancercouncil.com.au/ donate/

Homework for home grant What is the First Home Owners Scheme? As part of the inter governmental agreement on the reform of commonwealth-state financial relations, the states and territories have agreed to provide financial assistance to Australians who are buying their first home through the establishment of the First Home Owners Scheme. Under the current scheme eligible applicants are entitled to a one-off $7000 grant providing they meet the eligibility criteria. Legislation to support this scheme was approved on June 9, 2000. A copy of the act can be bought from the State Law Publisher, 10 William Street, Perth. Who is eligible? To be eligible at least one of the applicants must be an Australian citizen or have permanent residency in Australia. None of the applicants must have previously owned a home anywhere in Australia. Applicants must occupy the home bought as their principal place of residence. If an applicant’s spouse or de-facto partner has previously owned a home, no grant will be available. Except in the case of legal disability, applicants must be natural persons (that is, not a company). Everyone with an interest in the home is considered an applicant. What type of dwelling qualifies for the grant? It can be a single dwelling, duplex, flat, townhouse etc or any any dwelling that is suitable as a residence, though it must be connected, through the land, to water and sewerage services. A houseboat or caravan is not eligible. The grant will not be available for renovations to an existing building or to buy vacant land, Are there any conditions attached to how the grant may be used? No. If you are eligible, there are no conditions on how the funds may be used. When can I lodge an application? An application for the grant may be lodged any time after a contract to buy or build is made; or the foundations are laid for an owner-built home, provided the application is lodged within 12 months of the completion of the transaction. Does my income affect the grant? No. The grant is not means-tested. The income of applicants is not taken into account when establishing eligibility for the grant. Does the value of my home affect the grant? No. Provided your home is valued at $7000 or more. There is no valuation ceiling on the home you buy or contract to build.

FAQs on $7000 First Homeowners Scheme Where can I obtain the application forms? From Approved FHOG Participants, the State Revenue Department or the FHOG website – www.firsthome.gov.au Where can I lodge the application form? Thought an Approved FHOG Participant or through the State Revenue Department. What evidence do I need to provide with my application? Documents will need to be provided to establish your eligibility. If you were born in Australia, you will need a certified copy of your birth certificate or Australian passport. If you are a naturalised Australian, you will need a copy of your certificate of Australian citizenship or Australian passport. If you are a permanent resident, you need a copy of your permanent resident visa. If you are buying an established home, you need a signed copy of the offer and acceptance or transfer of land document. If you are contracting to have a home built, you need a signed copy of the building contract. If you are an owner-builder, you will need evidence of the acutal costs to you and evidence confirming the home is ready for occupation. When will the grant be paid? When lodging through the State Revenue Department the grant will be paid for an established home after the applicant’s interest is registered on the title; and for a contract to build or an owner-builder, the grant will be paid after the date the home is available for occupation. When lodging through an Approved FHOG Participant the grant will be paid for an established home on or after the settlement date; for a comprehensive building contract, on or after the final progress payment; and for an owner -built home, on or after the date the property is ready for occupation. An Approved FHOG Participant is a body (usually a financial institution) that has an arrangement with the commissioner to received and process applications. What can I do if the commissioner rejects my application? If you are not satisfied with the commissioner’s decision, you may lodge an objection which must be in writing, stating fully the grounds

for your objection and be lodged within 60 days of the decision. If you are not satisfied with the commissioner’s ruling on your objection, you can have the matter referred to the local court on appeal. Offences? Making a false or misleading statement with an application for a grant carries a penalty of up to $20,000 and you may be required to repay the grant, interest and other costs.

Caretaker approval, location are big ticks Excellent vehicle access is a strong feature of this corner site of 1674m2 with double-gate access to two roads. Plus, it has the benefit of approved caretaker accommodation and a workshop. The steel frame workshop is about 100m2, featuring three-phase power and near-new steel cladding. Dual access is a strong advantage, through one of two doors opening out to the yard. Adjoining the workshop is a structural steel carport of about 30m2, which could easily be enclosed. The accommodation on-site consists of three bedrooms, lounge and dining area. Accommodation is within an original workshop and would benefit substantially from renovations. The most valuable asset is the caretaker accommodation approval because it is no longer permitted on Wedgefield sites that don’t already have it. Along the front of the caretaker dwelling is a full-length awning providing about 42m2 of undercover entertaining and to the side is a private and well maintained grass yard. The property is being offered with vacant possession and is highly attractive for investors

and owner-occupiers alike. For investors, minimum rate of return with existing improvements is 10 per cent at $11,670 a month with strong ability to increase returns with renovations to the accommodation. For owner-occupiers, the corner location, workshop, three-phase power and accommodation approval are all huge ticks.

include Insul Break 65 which is well above minimum standards. External walls will present extremely well in two-tone Colourbond. Wet areas will have full-height tiling and the office and kitchen will feature high-grade commercial tiles. No expense has been spared. With expansion projects, set to last for 20 years, only just ramping up the demand for industrial property is growing significantly.

Offered with vacant possession for owner-occupiers, or for investors with a lease assured to net $10,500 a month, this property is new and high quality. Located in Port Hedland’s primary industrial area Wedgefield, this 1475m2 site offers a big, new, high-ceiling, clear span workshop of 200m2, along with a generously proportioned 64m2 office, complete with kitchen, bathroom facilities, air-conditioning and a full-length front awning.

Shed dimensions are about 16m x 12m with a 6m high roof. Shed roller door is about 5m high x 4m wide. Office dimensions are about 20m x 3.2m with a 20 m x 1.2m awning.

Gareth’s little team fills the building gap Gareth Kennedy and unassuming full-time carpenter Kent and apprentice Harrison make up the friendly building company of G R Kennedy Builders, which Gareth established in April 2011. Gareth says it is a busy slot in the market, doing renovations and maintenance for commercial and residential properties. Gareth can organise all the trades and has worked from Karratha to Wickham, Roebourne and Dampier. The company concentrates on projects people are having trouble getting done, because all the other builders are concentrating on new construction projects. Due to the age of the houses and offices in the Pilbara, people want their bathrooms, kitchens and

laundries renovated and Gareth has found he can fill that need. They will also work on pergolas and decks or whatever job property owners are finding needs doing around their house or commercial building. Work can be done on an hourly rate or quoted for work that may take a lot longer. Gareth said they recently put a flat-pack kitchen into a house, which makes the kitchen so much more affordable. “The lady chose her own tapware and rangehood, so they can have input into the job,” he said. “We can source materials or get them out of Perth to make the job more affordable.” Gareth enjoys the challenge of making people happy with a job. “I actually find that it becomes your hobby and it helps to be passionate about what you do.”

Opening doors to growth

A new large-scale commercial laundry service to meet the needs of the region is being established at Gap Ridge Industrial Estate.

Super laundry a clean winner

An artist’s impression of Western Edge in South Hedland.

Responding to WA’s economic growth, the government has launched seven new residential opportunities worth more than $1.5 billion. Among these was the Western Edge project with the potential to house more than 5000 people in South Hedland. With recent census data

calculations reflecting an influx of more than 1300 people to WA each week, Regional Development and Lands Minister Brendon Grylls reinforced the need to prepare for WA’s projected population growth. “We recognise the need for further land and housing development to support the growing population, particularly in the Pilbara, and these seven projects will go some way towards addressing

this need,” Mr Grylls said. LandCorp chief executive Ross Holt also announced the release of five infill opportunities in the metropolitan area including Mosman Park, Coogee, North Coogee, Girrawheen and Craigie, as well as a grouped housing site at Baynton West in Karratha. For more information on any of these opportunities, visit www.landcorp.com.au/eoi.

In a first for the Pilbara, a new large-scale commercial laundry service to meet the needs of the region is being established at Gap Ridge Industrial Estate. The decision by Pilbara company MCM Linen to expand in Karratha is a big boost for the town as well as other communities, including Port Hedland, Onslow, Newman and Tom Price. About 50 local staff will be

employed by MCM Linen. Gap Ridge is taking shape as one of the region’s largest general industrial estates and this latest milestone demonstrates its capacity to meet the needs of businesses in Karratha and for companies choosing to locate in the Pilbara. Gap Ridge’s centralised location – near key transport routes – and the availability of mains power, water and sewerage infrastructure were central to the company’s decision to choose the estate for its expanded operations.

Port Douglas

Port Douglas: holiday and investor heaven The Port Douglas property market has become extremely popular with southern and western investors taking advantage of the lowest prices seen in years. The high Australian dollar has played a key part in the tourist market. There has been a drop in overseas holiday makers (although again improving) but there has importantly been a huge increase in domestic holiday makers and travellers. Cairns Airport, under an hour’s drive south, is one of the busiest terminals in Australia boasting direct flights from major cities including Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide,

Darwin and, of course, Brisbane. The international airport has direct flights to Auckland, Hong Kong, Osaka, Tokyo, Singapore, Guam and PNG. The accessibility has never been so good and the truly tropical climate is the perfect winter escape with temperatures ranging from a fresh 15 to a sensational 28 in winter. Why Port Douglas? Well, the answers are many but essentially the overwhelming one is the lifestyle and location.There are no traffic lights, no parking meters and no traffic jams. It is the closest port to the Great Barrier Reef, is flanked by the Daintree rainforest, has some of the best restaurants in Australia, great fishing, amazing golf courses, easy accessibility

and friendly relaxed locals. Not to mention the opportunities. Being flanked by the Coral Sea to the east and Dickson’s inlet to the west, the availability of land is disappearing. Although a small place, it is diverse for investment options. There is something for every investor from $100,000 units to multi-million dollar villas and homes. When it comes to finding the right property it is essential you speak to long-time local and leading property agent Callum Jones, of Tony McGrath Real Estate, for the right advice. With a permanent population of about 3000 and catering for up to 20,000 tourists in the peak season Port Douglas has always been

a premium and sought-after location. Port is an escape for celebrities and dignitaries and regarded as a place where they can retreat and simply enjoy without being harassed. For the locals, Port is a place that is extremely safe with very little crime and troubles found in larger centres. Port is rapidly becoming home for many fly-in fly-out workers in Western Australia and PNG simply for the location, the climate, the safety and the lifestyle. Port Douglas has never been so affordable to visit or to buy and there is a real flurry of activity – although many opportunities still exist it will be those in first who will reap the biggest rewards.
