AVJENNINGS’ premier residential project at Noosa Heads, Elysium Noosa, is on the countdown to sellout with the final eight homesites now on the market.
taking up established stock in other areas."
The remaining homesites, located in the Pinnacle precinct, represent the final opportunity for lifestyle buyers to become part of Noosa Heads’ benchmark residential community and AVJennings Queensland state general manager Rodney Chadwick urged buyers to move quickly.
Mr Chadwick said the majority of recent sales had been made up of local buyers looking to upgrade their home and lifestyle while retaining the exclusivity of a Noosa Heads address at an achievable price point.
The final homesites range from 644 to 804 square metres and are selling from just $330,000.
“Buyers are able to build a quality new home with a house and land value in the $700,000s making the Elysium lifestyle well within the range of many families," he said.
“Sales have been consistently strong over the past 12 months with buyers competing to snap up the increasingly scarce supply of land across Noosa, and with land availability at Elysium now down to single digits, we have no doubt these lots will be absorbed quickly," he said.
“Buyers can also choose from a range of house and land packages on various sized homesites to suit their own lifestyle needs and budget." Elysium Noosa features hectares of parklands and the award-winning Rec Club which is located at the heart of the community. The Rec Club is a central space for residents and their guests to relax and unwind, while enjoying the state-of-the-art amenities including a lap pool, tennis court, gymnasium, barbecues, an observation deck to take in lagoon views, resident lounge and mixed-use fitness and leisure zones.
“The tight supply of land in the region, combined with competitive pricing and a range of homesites available have all helped to boost sales at Elysium over the past year, however the key drawcard continues to be the lifestyle on offer. “Elysium is one of the most idyllic addresses at Noosa Heads, just minutes from the restaurants and cafes of Hastings Street, and home buyers are seeing the value in building a new home in a contemporary, masterplanned community, rather than

Budget ticks all the right boxes THE REIQ has congratulated the State Treasurer Curtis Pitt on delivering a budget that includes benefits for small business, for the regions and measures that will benefit the real estate sector in myriad ways. REIQ said infrastructure projects in north Queensland, including a $25 million special school in Cairns and a new $50 million primary school and a $40 million high school for Townsville, will add jobs to those towns. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said jobs were vital to the recovery of the real estate market and Townsville, in particular, would get significant benefit from these new schools being built over the next few years.
The schools projects would benefit Townsville’s real estate market recovery. Employment for workers would lift its real estate sector, which has been patchy over the past six months with sales down nine per cent over the past quarter and the median house price sitting at $350,000. Townsville’s rental market has also been struggling, with vacancy rates up 1.2 percentage points over the first quarter of 2015 to 5.9 per cent at the end of March. Ms Mercorella also welcomed the State Government’s $300 million schools refurbishment plan that would bring additional work to tradespeople throughout the state.
“Increased employment opportunities bring economic stability and that will help people make a decision about whether to rent or to buy; whether to stay or to move,” she said.
In addition, the Treasurer announced a Budget for small business, which is the backbone of the real estate sector throughout Queensland.
“The $4 billion that the government intends to spend on arterial roads, including the upgrade of the Gateway Motorway North to six lanes, the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing and the roads being improved on the Gold Coast in preparation for the Commonwealth Games, will provide stable employment prospects for workers.
“This will help tradespeople of all descriptions as schools in every corner of the state are refurbished to meet the needs of today’s school children and educators,” Ms Mercorella said.
“It also benefits property values when transport is upgraded, improving accessibility and reducing commute times.”
“As the Treasurer knows, the real estate industry is largely made up of small business and we welcome the $186 million earmarked for supporting business growth and providing a positive economic plan to generate employment and investment in Queensland.”
This commercial property at Noosa Junction just sold at auction for $1.35 million after being placed on the market for the first time is 35 years.
Strong interest in commercial sale A COMMERCIAL building at Noosa Junction has sold at auction for $1.35 million after being put on the market for the first time in 35 years. The partially tenanted property on a 526 square metre site at 10 Lanyana Way, Noosa Heads, was sold to GCMT Properties by Ray White Commercial Noosa’s Paul Butler, Paul Forrest and Tracey Ryan on behalf of a local investor for a passing yield of 6.3 per cent. Mr Butler said the property was on the market for the first time since 1979 and it attracted considerable interest during the marketing campaign. “The owner was committed to selling the property after holding it all these years, simply stating that it was time to hand it over to an owner who will invest the time on bringing
the property back to its best,” he said. The older-style building is said to have had more than 40 inspectors and nine registered bidders at the auction despite poor weather at the on-site auction. Mr Forrest said the property is divided into four tenancies, three of which are occupied including long-term tenants Lifeline and Noosa Body and Skin Care, and has a nett income of about $120,000 per annum The property is well-positioned opposite Noosa Fair and enjoys a good level of pedestrian traffic slow. “The property will also benefit from the future redevelopment of the nearby former Noosa Heads Bowls Club site by Coles,” Ms Ryan said.
