Queensland is the second-largest and third-most populated state/ territory in Australia. According to the latest data provided by the Queensland Government, Queensland’s current population sits at 4,740,927 people. Population Growth
Economic growth
Queensland’s population is projected to double to around 9.4 million people by 2056 and is projected to replace Victoria as Australia’s second most populous state in 2050. Throughout the year, an annual 2% growth rate has been recorded in Queensland, which was higher than the national growth rate (1.8%). The state’s high rate of population growth will be driven by a continued strengthening of both net overseas migration and net interstate migration levels.
The Queensland State Budget forecasts economic growth of 6 percent in 2015 - 16 with Asia continuing to be the main driver of growth. Queensland’s economy experienced the second highest average annual growth rate of any Australian state or territory over the last 20 years.
Queensland’s Gross State Product (GSP) is expected to grow very strongly (at 3%) in 201415 which will see Queensland become the nation’s leading economy. Over the coming years, Queensland’s unemployment rate is forecast to Migration Rate decline, with the years 2013/14 alone seeing Queensland is one of only two states forecast to more than 60,000 new jobs created, taking the experience positive net interstate migration for total number of employed persons to 2.32 million. the next four years, averaging 20,000 people per year.

For the year ended June 2016, the State’s net interstate migration level is forecast to rise from around 10,500 to 19,000. Overseas migration has an immediate impact on the demand for housing as migrants require some form of housing on arrival, whether as renters (in most instances) or as owner-occupiers.

Cairns The Australian Bureau of Statistics noted Cairns is the 14th largest city in Australia, with one of the fastest growing populations. As the 4th most popular tourist destination in Australia after Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Carins is booming with all the upgrades on facilities. Located on the north east coast of Queensland; a two-hour flight from Brisbane, or three-hour flight from Sydney, Cairns is the hub of Tropical North Queensland, which is 400,000sq km, equal to the combined size of California and Oregon or Spain and Portugal. Cairns also has the closest access to the Great Barrier Reef, which is the largest reef in the world, also the world’s largest World Heritage Area.
Population Growth Currently, there are 150,000 people within the Cairns Regional Council area. Cairns’ average population growth over the past ten years was 2.6% well above the Nation’s average of 1.5%. The Cairns Regional Council suggested the population of Cairns will reach 200,000 by 2022.

In the year to June 2008, seven of the nine statistical divisions outside south-east Queensland increased in population, with four growing by more than 2.4%. The fastest-growing was Far North Qld (3.1%). Cairns as a region also had the fastest population growth (3.9%) of the local government areas outside south-east Queensland.

The region’s thriving economy is directly engaged with lucrative Asian markets and, through the tourism industry, is a key contributor to the economic prosperity of Queensland and the nation.

Current Rental Appraisal
CAPITAL GROWTH & RENTAL RETURN PROSPECTS The Cairns residential property market remains well placed with strong fundamental drivers, including healthy economic conditions and continued population growth feeding through to consistent demand for housing to either rent or buy.
Based on the information given, we advise taking into consideration current market conditions, it is our opinion that the property should attract a rental return in the range between: $440.00 - $450.00 per week *Rental apprasials provided by LJ Hooker Cairns Marlin Coast on 11 Feb 2015
The above appraisal is a conservative estimate based on current rental market conditions. It has not taken into consideration the increases in rent between now and when Whitehaven Apartments is due for completion in December 2015, i.e. CPI and more importantly the proposed Aquis Great Barrier Reef Resort right next door, requiring a local workforce of over 6,500 for construction and 20,000 once operational.

Our Recommendations
If ever there was a shining opportunity to capitalise on massive investment in local infrastructure
and development, Whitehaven Apartments is exactly that. Cairns is making an economic come-
back after the long-term effects of the GFC. Our information pack highlights many of the stand-out reasons for our investment recommendation, and it’s easy to find many more reasons through your
own due diligence on the internet. We have been in direct contact with the Management of the
proposed Aquis Resort and Casino, and have confirmed their commitment to building this amazing new development which will generate a significant boost to the State & Federal economy by
creating over 25,000 jobs, increased tourism and a long list of other economic benefits. This is an obvious reason why the Queensland Government has acknowledged their support of Aquis. Once their full official approval becomes public knowledge, the property market in Yorkeys Knob will
go ballistic. That is why we strongly recommend that you get in now and cash in on future capital growth and rent yields.
Apart from the colossal impact of Aquis, Cairns and Yorkeys Knob already present an excellent property investment. Tourism, Hospitality and Retail Trade are definitely still the major economic pillars of the region, but the State and Local Governments are successfully cultivating other industry sectors such as Education, Agriculture and Resources (FIFO). For example, moves are underway
to develop Cairns as a centre for international education with their second University, CQUnivesity, moving ahead with their Cairns CBD campus. With the move towards 100% Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO) for the mining sector, Cairns is perfectly positioned to accommodate the workforce required for the mining and resources sector of North and Central Queensland.
There are simply too many reasons, with independent supporting articles and statements, to list them all here for you. Needless to say, leading independent analysts such as RP Data and Terry
Ryder’s Hotspotting have Cairns listed in their Top 10’s. But we have always maintained that you shouldn’t just take our word for it. A quick search of the internet is all it will take. But don’t take too
long to make your mind up or you might miss the chance to get in before the current stock is sold, and the capital growth has taken off. See you soon !! Jeremy Foster Managing Director & Licensee Probity Investments Pty Ltd © copyright - Probity Investments 2015
