Location, Location, Location, backed by our research. That’s what we discovered in The Northern Rivers Region late in 2018 and pinpointed Ballina as a new market for our clients to invest in. Now one of Australia’s most celebrated demographers and futurists Bernard Salt is talking about this region and the benefits it offers.
THE Northern Rivers' newest beachfront development will be officially launched at a special event in August. Intrapac Property, the developers of Aureus at Skennars Head, will bring one of Australia's most celebrated demographers and futurists, Bernard Salt, to the region for the celebrations. Mr Salt was in the region in June for The Northern Star's sold-out Future Northern Rivers luncheon at Southern Cross University.
On this next visit, he has the greater Ballina region in his sights. "The more I study the demography of the Northern Rivers, the more I visit the region, the more I compare it to other lifestyle places across Australia, the more convinced I am that it represents the leading edge of Australia's lifestyle movement," Mr Salt said. "And nowhere is this better evidenced than in Greater Ballina where everything seems to come together including its seachange location, its proximity to cute treechange towns. "It offers urban amenity including an airport and it both attracts and exudes an entrepreneurial energy. "Here is a place that's on the move and that will surely evolve further as one of this nation's favourite places in which to live, to work, to retire, to create."
Intrapac's chief operating officer, Max Shifman, said the name "Aureus", which means "golden", was chosen to represent the "magnificence of the location and the uniqueness of the opportunity". "It's an unbelievably stunning position," he said. "As the locals already know. It's one of the last, if not the last and only, remaining beachfront land releases on the eastern seaboard.

Sydneysiders and Melburnians, put aside your equally outstanding flat whites for a moment. Stop bickering about whether great beaches beat cool laneways (they do) and desist from debating whether all baristas require waxed moustaches (ideally).
Because Brisbane is closing in on the title of Australia’s best city, and we must join forces to keep this subtropical upstart in its place.
Time magazine recently named Brisvegas on its “World’s Greatest Places” list, and omitted our cities. It’s a huge shock (and who knew they still published Time magazine?). But they might be onto something.
Time points to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be hosted in the maroon metropolis. Brisbane will do a fine job, even though it’ll baffle the world when rugby league is added to the schedule and Queensland is allowed to field its own team.
Time’s most radical claim is that Brisbane is worth visiting now, but tourism is surging. Not only did Lin-Manuel Miranda recently drop in to catch Hamilton , but hundreds of Hamilfans flew up to watch his interview with Leigh Sales (presumably unaware that it would subsequently arrive on iView for free).
A leading local agent has appraised each side of these duplex's to be worth $665k on completion and rent for $495 per week. So that is massive potentail instant equity of up to $390K on completion, which is incredibly hard to find.
