Property Highlight - Wollongong NSW

2 Bed | 2 Bath | 1 Car
$805,000

10-minute walk to the train station and a 15-minute walk to the beach

Construction is well underway, with completion scheduled for 2027

Tenant demand is outpacing supply: vacancy sits under 1%, so quality rentals are snapped up fast and renters are vying for the few homes on offer.
Returns that lead the state: gross rental yields of 5.8% to 6.8% are the strongest in NSW outside Western Sydney.
A growth outlook that beats the broader market: independent forecasters expect 7.1% annual growth between 2026 and 2030, backed by major infrastructure spending and an expanding jobs base.
Why I love this property for investors:

Few markets within reach of Sydney still offer real affordability alongside a lifestyle tenants want to live in. Wollongong does. Its coastline and geography keep supply naturally limited, while the local economy continues to broaden well beyond its steelworks heritage. Combine that with a strong infrastructure pipeline, a major university and some of the state's best yields, and it's a market I return to whenever I want an investment that works on paper and in practice.

The Location

Set in the heart of Wollongong's best-connected precinct, with the train station, university, beaches and hospital all a short trip away
Reach Sydney by direct train in just over an hour, while local buses link the C*D, coast and hospital precinct without the traffic stress
Wollongong Central's 120+ stores anchor the C*D, with Crown Street's boutique shopping and the growing Eat Street dining scene close by
Surrounded by green space and leisure options, from botanic gardens and coastal parks to Southern Highlands wineries and beaches stretching toward the Shoalhaven
The Property

A smartly planned two-bedroom home with an open layout that maximises natural light and easy flow, plus generous bedrooms and built-in storage
High-end finishes throughout, including sintered stone benchtops, quality appliances and designer tapware
Three shared outdoor areas on common property: a landscaped ground-floor walkway, podium lawns and a rooftop terrace made for entertaining, all delivered by an experienced development team and covered by 10-year Latent Defects Insurance

I’m often asked, “Where should I invest?” 😊🏡 So I thought I’d share the five growth corridors I keep an eye on at Love Property.
It’s all about doing your homework & remember, the rate rise is a speed bump, not a stop sign! 😉

The Five Growth Corridors We're Watching Right Now

Not all growth happens where the headlines point.

Here's our current watchlist — a mix of capital city and regional corridors we're tracking for new-build investors, based on where the fundamentals are strongest right now.

✅ South East Queensland & Sunshine Coast: More than 500,000 additional residents projected by 2046, backed by major infrastructure investment and the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.
✅ Melbourne’s Outer Growth Corridors: Clyde North, Cranbourne East, Tarneit and Werribee continue to benefit from population growth, new infrastructure and relative affordability.
✅ Geelong: Strong population growth, affordability and major infrastructure investment continue to position Geelong as a key Melbourne alternative and regional growth market.
✅ Illawarra: The Illawarra offers a compelling combination of coastal lifestyle, Sydney accessibility, population growth, major infrastructure spending and an increasingly diversified economy. This is creating the fundamentals for sustained housing demand through to 2046 and beyond.
✅ Western & South Western Sydney: Western Sydney International Airport is leading the transformation of the region, with 100,000+ jobs and thousands of new homes planned.

The common thread? Population growth, infrastructure, employment and housing demand are the fundamentals we look for when identifying markets with long-term investment potential.

This is the kind of research we do before we ever bring a client a property. If you want the full picture on any of these corridors, we're a message, call or email away.

What about the rate rise?
⚠️ Last week's rate rise is a consideration, but it doesn't have to put your property plans on hold.
⚠️ We factor interest rates into our research, so you have the information you need.
⚠️ We encourage you to talk through your own situation with your financial professionals.
⚠️ It's a speed bump, not a stop sign!

Property Highlight - Burpengary, SE Queensland

3 Bed | 2 Bath | 2 Parking | End Townhouse | $789,000

Due for completion in December 2026

✅ A growth hotspot in the making: South East Queensland's next rising suburb, where affordable entry prices meet a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure pipeline.
✅ Brand new and ready to go: move-in ready and priced to sell, the kind of opportunity that rarely lingers on the market.

Why I love this part of South East Queensland
Burpengary offers something increasingly hard to find in South East Queensland: real affordability with genuine growth ahead. It sits within easy reach of both Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, yet keeps the relaxed, family-friendly feel that's fading from many other parts of the region. With the Priority Development Area and North Harbour Marina on the way, it's a suburb that I keep a close eye on for its appeal today and its upside tomorrow.

The Location
✅ Roughly 40km north of the Brisbane C*D, with easy access to both Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast and a laid-back, family-oriented community feel
✅ Everyday needs close at hand, including Burpengary Plaza, North Lakes, local schools, parks, sporting facilities and the Bruce Highway
✅ Major infrastructure underway, including the North Harbour Marina in Burpengary East, expected to generate jobs and attract further investment to the area

The Property
✅ A brand-new end-position townhouse featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lock-up garage and an additional driveway space
✅ Spacious open-plan living with quality modern finishes throughout, ideal for first-home buyers, families, downsizers and investors alike
✅ The end position adds extra privacy, more natural light and fewer shared walls

Property Highlight - Burpengary, SE Queensland

3 Bed | 2 Bath | LUG | end townhouse | $789,000

South East Queensland's next growth hotspot — where affordability meets a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure pipeline

Brand-new, move-in ready, and priced to sell— the kind of opportunity that won't stay on the market long

🌟 From an investor’s perspective: I love Burpengary because it's that rare sweet spot — genuine affordability paired with real growth on the horizon. It's close enough to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast to offer the best of both, while keeping a relaxed, family-friendly feel that's getting harder to find in South East Queensland. With major infrastructure like the Priority Development Area and North Harbour Marina on the way, it's a suburb I keep watching for lifestyle appeal today and real upside tomorrow.

The Location
✅ Around 40km north of Brisbane C*D, giving easy access to both Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast while keeping a relaxed, family-friendly feel
✅ Close to everyday essentials — Burpengary Plaza, North Lakes, local schools, parks, sporting facilities and the Bruce Highway
✅ Backed by major infrastructure on the way, including the North Harbour Marina in Burpengary East, expected to bring jobs and further investment to the region

The Property
✅ Brand-new end-position townhouse with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lock-up garage and an extra driveway parking space
✅ Generous open-plan living and quality modern finishes throughout, suited to first-home buyers, families, downsizers and investors alike
✅ End position brings added benefits — greater privacy, more natural light and fewer adjoining neighbours

Thanks to the latest Budget, the property investing rules have changed — and new-build property came out the clear winner.

We flagged this shift a few months back. Now that the details have settled, it's worth spelling out exactly why we've been steering our clients towards new properties.

* New builds keep both concessions in full — the land tax threshold exemption and stamp duty relief — with no expiry date attached.
* Established properties purchased after 12 May 2026 lose full negative gearing from 1 July 2027 — losses can only offset other property income, not your salary.
* The 50% Capital Gains Tax discount on those properties is also replaced with cost-base indexation and a 30% minimum tax.

In South East Queensland alone, this policy shift is already redirecting investor demand into new-build stock in a market with a 10,000-dwelling undersupply. The same pattern is playing out in South Western Sydney, where Liverpool LGA is forecast to grow by tens of thousands of residents by the mid-2030s — demand the region's current housing stock simply isn't built for yet.

The bottom line: the tax advantages of new builds aren't just stronger today — they're likely to remain more favourable over the long term. Investors who act early can secure the best available properties before increased demand puts further pressure on stock and pricing.

At Love Property Australia, new-build sourcing isn't a side offering — it's where we saw this heading before the Budget confirmed it.

2 Bed | 2 Bath | 1 Car | 88 sqm | $785,000

Est. Rental: $750 - $800 per week
Incentives available

The Location
Houses up 8.2% over the past year, driven by tight supply — just 0.26% of stock on market and around two months of inventory
Median property price sits around $690,000 across all dwelling types — still genuinely accessible for Western Sydney

The Property
Apartment layout designed for flexibility — generous joinery and storage suit a wide range of tenants over time, home office one year, growing family the next, which helps reduce vacancy risk
Considered architectural detailing and a quality material palette set the building above standard investor-grade stock, supporting stronger long-term tenant appeal and resale value
Resort-style pool, private gym and rooftop gardens give tenants a genuine lifestyle offering — a real point of difference that helps drive consistent rental demand
