It’s been a big year so far for PropertyMash, and there are still so many exciting things to come. While we’re still first and foremost Queensland’s only dedicated new property magazine and portal, we thought it was time to glance further afield too. With upswing property markets in Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Cairns, there’s plenty of exciting news and projects popping up all across this great state of ours. For those looking down south, we’ve also extended our reach into one of Australia’s hottest markets: Canberra. Check out the latest from the ACT on page 14.
This edition, we turn our focus towards the planet and examine exactly what it means for new developments to be “environmentally friendly”. We take a look at the most common rating systems (page 9) and showcase the top five environmentally-friendly projects in Brisbane (page 10). We also take a walk down memory lane to the Gold Coast of the 1970s. Check out the photos on page 28 to see just how much the Gold Coast has evolved in the last 40 years.
