IntroductionIf you have dealt with us before (or at least read our Welcome to Investor Property brochure) you will know that one of our core convictions is to ensure the properties we offer are in well researched areas. We were always excited about what is happening in South East Queensland, particularly the Sunshine Coast, and decided to put together this summary to help you understand the strong property investing fundamentals the region offers. Fundamentals that cause us to believe the Sunshine Coast provides outstanding opportunities over the next 10 – 20 years.

There’s an old adage in property that “all property doubles over time” and the statistics support this (if you do some research – the common comment about property doubling every 7 to 10 years works right back to the early 1900’s). We don’t see any reason for this to change in the next 100 years, however we also believe that there are other drivers that help property grow in value. We look for these drivers when we conduct our research in order to maximise the potential returns. Our aim is to do better than just ‘flow with the tide’ (albeit a tide that’s made many people wealthy over time).

Our hope is this summary will not only provide you a good understanding of the fundamentals you should be looking at in your own research as you grow your portfolio, but also give you the confidence to invest on the Sunshine Coast (if not, at least you’ve got some knew ‘stats’ for your next BBQ!)

Population GrowthThe first factor to understand is that from 2001 to 2031 forecasts suggest we are going to see the population of the Sunshine Coast double! In the 2001 Census figures, 247,200 people live on the coast; projections issued by the State Government have the Sunshine Coast breaking through the 500,000 people barrier by 2031 and more than 1,000,000 between 2040 and 2050 if current trends continue unabated. As can be seen by the chart, this growth speeds up from approximately 2007 to 2026, which is now. This population growth comes from two key areas: southern states migration and people moving from overseas (mainly the United Kingdom and South Africa). Interestingly, reports in September 2009 suggest Australia’s growth could have been underestimated by 25%!

Keep in mind that every time a new family moves from Brisbane, Melbourne, London, Johannesburg, etc, the first thing they need is somewhere to live. A large number arrive, rent for the first 6-12 months then buy. There is also a significant percentage who arrive and look for readily established housing straight away. Many investors on the Coast have a second income called ‘building speccy’s’ for those new arrivals that are so happy to be in their new piece of heaven and they don’t want to wait 6 months to build. We often see an up lift in valuation on properties being built for this reason (but be cautioned, the term ‘speccy’ is short for speculation; this strategy and, importantly, the type of house, location and number of other people using the same strategy can have a large bearing on its effectiveness).

Changing Household size

As can be seen in the graph below, over the next 13 years the average number of people living in each home across Australia is forecast to reduce from 2.6 people per home to 2.25 people. This is one of the key drivers being placed on developers for smaller lots. For some of us, we need to reset the mind that smaller homes are back in vogue. There’s always a market for large homes but the population dynamics are changing.

Weekly Growth

Perhaps one of the greatest drivers on the Coast is this one: every week we need 77 new homes (based on current household sizes) yet only 65 new homes are being built - that’s 624 homes this year alone that we’re short! At present this shortfall is being covered by reducing the number of rental vacancies; but that ‘band aid’ can only stretch so far.

Population Housing

Arrivals 333 Requirement 77

Departures 132 Completions 65

Net Weekly Increase 201 Net Weekly Short fall 12

The State Government forecasts we will need approximately 98,500 new dwellings built on the Sunshine Coast by 2031. Based on our current rate of supply, the shortfall could increase to over 1,100 properties per year fueling the already, pent up demand!

Impact of population growth

With fast population growth opportunity arise. The ‘magical’ self sustaining number of 500,000 brings with it better motorways, public transport, an airport that provides variety of flight times and destinations, theme parks, diversified employment opportunities and the list goes on. The downside of building a population on the run is we get use to road works as areas are expanded (next time you are stuck in road works, keep your eye out for why that work is happening, this might just be the next area that’s about to take a capital growth upswing).

As a property investor it is important to note that this growth, the low level of required completions and the decreasing average household size suggests the underlying demand on property will increase for some time. Thereby placing upward pressure on prices and rents and downward pressure on vacancy rates. Very good news indeed.

Infrastructure and DevelopmentThe old catch cry in property has always been ”location, location”. As property investors however, we believe it should be “infrastructure, infrastructure” (which is not really that different to location, just with some further long term analysis attached). People are seeking easy access to parts of the Coast via motorways, public transport (will become so much more important in 10-15 years) and sound road systems. We’re looking to live in communities where the kids have easy access to great schools, where there’s a Supermarket with the 10-15 convenience shops on the outside (the baker, cafes, chemist, pizza shop, etc). People want to know that where they live has a sense of belonging and local councils seek to maintain the cultural integrity of the area (parks, beaches, building height, etc). This encourages developers to strike a balance between urban jungles and open spaces. People want to live in a community where they can take their kids to a park, perhaps overlook a lake and enjoy a BBQ.

Today, the infrastructure has the responsibility of allowing families to live in such a community, seemingly their own little village, whilst being able to step out of that community and within a few minutes be on a motorway to the office or to visit a friend in another community.

The Sunshine Coast, particularly in the southern reaches, is seeing an explosion of growth including:

New University Hospital

New CBD in Kawana, Caloundra and Maroochydore

The development of a multi-modal transport corridor

Several large estates being brought forward by up to nine years

Some of these infrastructure projects are discussed below.

New University Hospital

Nestled in the heart of Kawana is a site that will represent the Sunshine Coast’s new University Hospital. This site is scheduled to open in 2016. This University Hospital will employ 3,500 people and as a training facility, we’ll see a significant number of students and post-graduates completing their studies in this hospital. Part of the plan of development is a road and rail network (discussed in the ‘CAMCOS’ section) joining the hospital with communities around the Coast. This location will also drive a significant need for housing close by. There are some impressive land communities around this location and we’ve watched many of our astute buyers invest in these locations before the anticipated ‘upswing’.

The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) states that a typically large new hospital generates an increase in housing in the vicinity of approximately 20% within the first 2-3 year period.

University Expansion, New Sippy Downs CBD and Technology Park

The Sunshine Coast University at Sippy Downs is centrally placed being just 10 minutes to the Mooloolaba beach and only 2 minutes from the Bruce Highway (making the Brisbane commute less than an hour). This facility is set to expand to over 5,000 students by 2011 with the land estates in the surrounding area seeing good rental yields and low vacancies.

Sippy Downs also has a new CBD planned with a technology park going through its’ final stages of approval at present. This technology park will house some 80,000 square metres of lettable space (to give you some idea, a standard office is around 80 metres!). This area will have fast broadband capacity and will most likely become the hub for many technology savvy businesses across the Coast. Next to this is the Palmview estate which is about to be released.

Palmview at Sippy Downs

This is where the growth really starts to be seen! The community of Palmview will be located below the Sippy Downs / Bell Flower suburbs. The community of Palmview will be home to some 18,000 people. There are approximately 5,500 lots available in this new community and the estate was expected to be released in 2018. Due to the fast growth however, State and Federal governments are placing pressure on local governments and this land release approval has been brought forward from 2018 to 2009! To help you understand the scale of this community, the newly released and very popular Brightwater estate will have approximately 1,200 lots, making Palmview some 4 ½ times larger.

Maroochydore CBD

There has been much controversy over recent years regarding where the heart of the Sunshine coast is, and one of the keys to this discussion has been the Maroochydore precinct. Local Government have recently released the Maroochydore Centre Position Paper outlining the doubling of the current Sunshine Plaza (with David Jones as the anchor tenant of this new stage), the release of new 10 level unit complexes (with 4,000 units being released by 2031), the revised usage of the Horton Park Golf Course, the linking of the rail network into the CBD, the relocation of the town centre to be adjacent to the Sunshine plaza (off Plaza Parade) and the rezoning of most unit complexes to further include retail and office space on the lower levels.

We see Maroochydore as a place to work, live and enjoy life over the coming years.

New Kawana CBD

With the University Hospital about to commence construction and the release of several land estates, we are watching a new business community emerge in Kawana. If you drive down Kawana Way (a road that wasn’t there some 3 years ago) you’ll see tens of thousands of square metres of office space, the largest home maker centre on the Coast and a large vacant area ready for Kawana’s CBD, incorporating a shopping centre and much more. The Kawana area has more than 10 years of land sub divisions surrounding it and we see this area as the ‘Robina’ of the Sunshine Coast. This new town centre will be directly linked to Caloundra and Maroochydore via the new Caloundra-Mooloolaba Road and there will be a major interchange of rail, public transport and road networks. This new CBD is a contender for the ‘heart’ of the Coast with many businesses relocating to this area. With the hospital, a new shopping centre as well as the thousands of families moving to this area, we see this as one of the key hubs of the Coast.

New Caloundra CBD and Transport Oriented Community (TOC)

Caloundra will feature strongly in the future growth of the Coast. Caloundra is the southern tip of the Sunshine Coast, making it the closest access to Brisbane. The CBD of Caloundra has long needed a refresh and there will be effectively two CBD’s of Caloundra into the future. The existing CBD has been re-zoned to include six level combined retail/living and over time will be rebuilt.

The new CBD and TOC will be located at the current Caloundra aerodrome site. The aerodrome will cease operations from 2012 and a new CBD with an emphasis on 10 level unit complexes mixed with living, retail and office space will become the new heart of Caloundra. This will be underpinned by a shopping centre and will be the transport link that will allow light rail and public transport to operate from your doorstep to other key parts of the Coast and Brisbane.

Caloundra South

Caloundra South has been put under the same ‘pull forward scheme’ as Palmview. Caloundra South is a Stockland owned parcel of land which is situated below the current Bellvista estate and planned TOC. This estate will be the Sunshine Coast’s closest community to Brisbane. This land estate is not like any other on the coast as it is estimated to be 23,750 lots creating homes for some 50,000 people!

This estate alone will effectively double the Caloundra community and very much change the demographic of this part of the Coast. We believe the proximity to Brisbane and the size of this estate will greatly shape the southern corridor.

Whilst previously locked up until 2018, we expect to see the first land sales late 2010.

CAMCOS / Multi-Modal Transport Corridor

CAMCOS is the acronym of the Caboolture to Maroochydore Corridor Study. This study has looked at the growth of the Sunshine Coast and identified the connecting roads and light rail networks that will be required to support this growth, effectively gelling the southern half (Maroochydore south) of the Coast into one greater city.

Over the past several years, we have seen connecting roads double and even triple in size in readiness for this amalgamation. A light rail network linking up many of the communities in the southern reaches (Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Kawana, Caloundra) is planned in conjunction with a road network which will link the Caloundra region to the Sunshine Motorway and Bruce Highway. Parts of this road are already completed.

New Theme Park

With the growth of the coast into a greater city, theme parks are the next great attraction. Currently there is one application in council for a water theme park on a large site on the Caloundra Road (almost opposite the Corbould Park Race Course).

These types of attractions will encourage a greater degree of tourists visiting the Sunshine Coast over the Gold Coast expanding the tourism industry here. From a property investment perspective this change in ‘holiday destination’ will have a major impact on the constant migration from southern states who will effectively make their ‘sea change’ to this region.

Summary

While some people reading this document may be discouraged (especially locals or those who frequent on holidays) with the transition of the Sunshine Coast from being several minor communities into a greater city, as property investors the greatest story here is that demand for housing on the Sunshine Coast is most likely to outstrip supply for the next few decades. This of course being one of the key underlying drivers of property price and rental growth. As we reach the population milestone of 500,000 people, there will be a change in demographic, a change in culture and the odd frustration about roadworks, however, the Sunshine Coast has watched and learnt from the explosion of the Gold Coast over the past 15 years and is adopting a more controlled infrastructure program. The Coast will most likely have a better mix of urban living entwined with a park style open space feel. The road and rail network will be critical to the controlled growth and there will be many investors who will reap the rewards of steady long term investment into one of the worlds fastest growing greater cities. To be only one hour from Brisbane in a climate that lures thousands every year is not something that can be replicated. We’re excited for the growth and we look forward to seeing many of you reap the rewards we believe are on offer here.
