Gladstone’s population is expected to grow by 31 per cent within five years and more than double in 20 years, leading to significant pressure on rentals and an undersupply of property. By Craig Maytom

Industrial land now available at Gap Ridge Industrial Estate.

GLADSTONE QLD is being billed as one of Australia’s property hotspots. With around $90 billion of projects either under construction or under consideration, it’s easy to understand why. Projects include port expansions, coal, alumina, aluminium, and now, the massive emerging market of Liquefied Natural Gas. Gladstone’s population is expected to grow by 31 per cent within five years and more than double in 20 years, leading to significant pressure on rentals and an undersupply of property.

Gladstone’s rental rates and housing prices have already moved, however, prices remain comparatively very low to other resource rich areas. Significant growth is still expected in both house prices and rental yields over the next 10 years. However, the difference in Gladstone compared to what’s happened in other resource towns, is that Gladstone has had advanced warning of what is to come. The local council, building industry and the community in general has been aware for some time that Gladstone would need to grow substantially. Large land estates have been opened up,

with properties going up quickly. It will take years for supply to catch up, but eventually it may happen. Most likely, we believe property prices will not double in the next two years as some are predicting, but rather grow more steadily over the next 10 years. Australian Property Monitors estimated the median property house price in Gladstone would grow from $320,000 in 2009, to $602,353 within five years, and $1,024,000 within 10 years. With a current median house price of $415,000, we believe these estimates to be more realistic. Gladstone QLD is a fantastic place to invest. It’s a property hotspot which should be on the radar of every property investor. It would be great if property prices did double in two years, but don’t bank on it. *Craig Maytom is a Buyers Agent from Gladstone Property Solutions, helping property investors buy property in the Gladstone region.

Pelago West progress update ❚ First National Real Estate specialists George Jurgowiak, Andrew Maxwell and Jackie McVee reach for the stars at the Sydney Tower Skywalker.

Sky’s the limit for First National First National Team puts Karratha in the spotlight SPEAKING with clients in Melbourne and Sydney it is evident Karratha can provide opportunities to improve investor portfolios that are “treading water” by increasing cash flow substantially. While First National specialists George Jurgowiak, Andrew Maxwell and Jackie McVee were interstate speaking with the general public and clients alike, it was evident Karratha is clearly on the national map of an investment hotspot with expected mining contracts and growth to continue in the next few decades. This has been highlighted with direct flights now implemented to Karratha from Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. One Melbourne client and restaurateur stated the market in Melbourne is extremely flat and he is looking forward to setting up an Asian Banquet in Karratha this year. He expressed gratitude that Karratha First National was able to help him reach his goal of setting up a restaurant later in the year.

George, Jackie and Andrew agree the 10 day trip which covered the Sunshine Coast, Melbourne and Sydney, provided invaluable experience on a professional and personal level and was a vital way to exchange ideas with other agents throughout Australia and New Zealand and to interact with people at the top of the real estate profession. The Karratha First National sales consultants aspire to use their gained experience and join the dots by bringing high level investors from the east coast by providing positively geared properties.

A new level is being constructed weekly on the nine-storey Pelago West project in Karratha. PELAGO WEST is well underway and running to schedule. The builders are now focusing on the main tower of the development. A new floor level for the ninestory tower will be constructed each week, and this will bring construction to be a finished concrete structure by the end of July / mid August this year. Fit out and finishings of the 114 apartments will take three months to complete. In the beginning of August the lifts will be delivered on site and in the past this has marked the significant date for three months to full completion. This time line indicates clearly the builder’s goal of having residents moving in by Christmas as being well in hand.

This will also assist them with their exclusive involvement in the high profile developments LandCorp Gap Ridge Industrial Land release and the exciting landmark Finbar Pelago Apartments. For further information on either of these developments or any other Real Estate needs, please call Karratha First National on 9144 2200.
