"In the next 30 years Melbourne will grow by up to 1 million people and will consolidate its reputation as one of the worlds most livable, attractive and prosperous areas in the world, for residents, business and visitors".
The Melbourne 2030 is a planning policy initiative of the Victorian State Government that was released in 2006. It is a plan to manage Melbourne's substantial growth over the next two decades by following nine (9) key Directions at state and local government level.
The Melbourne 2030's impact on the property market was immediate and will continue to be of substantial benefit to astute property investors who understand its implications.
Continual expansion of Melbourne's outer area's places considerable strain of local and state government through the continual need of infrastructure and local amenity funding.
Initial research indicated if the rate of expansion continued many fringe areas would lack the needed infrastructure to adequate allow each area to perform as a thriving social and economical community.
The solution was to identify existing areas for higher density and fringe areas suitable for growth in order to meet the needs of an additional 620,000 households, which is about the size of Canberra over the next 30 years.
The Melbourne 2030 now acts as a guide to "hot spot" areas that will receive considerable growth in the short and long terms and are considered by many experts to offer the best property investment opportunities.
Property Planet has conducted significant primary and secondary research on these planning policies and more importantly what impact these new initates will have for residential property investors. Our conclusion is that selective defined growth areas offer sound capital growth prospects as a result of future infrastructure development. Importantly we consider these locations are at present undervalued and particularly affordable.
In review of these policies and being kept at the forefront of new policy changes we are in the hot seat to recommend locations we consider are in the best position to take advantage future infrastructure development.
Our continued research of these drivers of urban expansion have allowed us to focus on particular hotspots and identify specific locations that give our investors the best possible chance of investment success.
In additon to committment of understanding State Goverment Planning policies we have taken time to consider which land developers off the best investment vehicle and why. This has allowed us to narrow the field and provide recomendations that do not encaptulate a signifacnt geograhical area that may leave things to chance.
We have the expertise and knowledge to recommend an area and then a particular estate and development in that area. We have done all the homework to know why a particular estate will offer greater investment opportunity than the develpment accorss the road.
