towards 50 years of business LJ Hooker Albany Creek | Warner Principal Jason Chandler has acquired LJ Hooker’s Kallangur | Murrumba Downs office where he started in real estate 28 years ago opened the LJ Hooker Kallangur | Murrumba Downs business in the Moreton Bay region 47 years ago and have now handed the reins to Jason and his wife Melinda Chandler “It’s an honour to purchase the business from my mentor and the person who gave me my start in the real estate business,” said Mr Chandler Mr Chandler said the region was on the cusp of a strong period of growth: the University of the Sunshine Coast had opened a campus in the area; the Redcliffe Peninsula train line had brought the affordable area closer to employment hubs; and the region was welcoming an NRL side in 2023 Across a near three-decade career with LJ Hooker Mr Chandler has had two principals – the Bookers and Steve Baudinette the former principal of LJ Hooker Albany Creek “I’ve only ever had two principals spanning my 28-year career and have had the opportunity to purchase both businesses and continue to grow their legacies into the future,” said Mr Chandler “Greg and Steve were both great mentors and there’s a lot of what they’ve taught me in terms of process and empowering staff that I’ve adopted in my own management style it was really a privilege to sit alongside Greg at principals’ meetings – he was such an important contributor to LJ Hooker but also real estate in Brisbane’s north and the Moreton Bay “While the Albany Creek | Warner and Kallangur | Murrumba Downs agencies will continue to operate as separate businesses there’ll be opportunities for sellers to enjoy greater exposure over the two teams.” Kallangur recorded 31.3 per cent in median house price growth over the last 12 months to $600,000 while houses in Murrumba Downs houses notched 31 per cent for a median of $745,450 Mr Chandler said the Moreton Bay region was on the cusp of significant growth “It’s a really important market to service because it offers comparative affordability and rail infrastructure that will deliver a train every five minutes at peak hour when the Cross River Rail is completed “The university campus provides a jobs hub and demand for rentals And the lifestyle of Moreton Bay is growing in profile especially with flexible working opportunities.” Source: LJ Hooker News Sitemap Our radio

involvement is extremely important during the artwork design process While creation of the artwork takes only a couple of weeks the design process can take up to eight months During this design process Unitywater worked with the community to communicate their values into the artwork Symbiosis, represents the heart and spirit of Kallangur and features a large cockatoo flying high in the sky above a landscape of grass trees you can see the black cockatoo is bringing rain Check out Unitywater’s time lapse video below of the creation process https://www.facebook.com/Unitywater/videos/873063339499548/ Kate Cash, Unitywater’s Community Relations Specialist caught up with 96five’s Arthur Muhl to discuss the project and the extent of the community’s involvement “There’s eight months of work where we sit down and meet with community members in shopping centers at schools and we ask them to tell their stories and share their ideas,” Ms Cash said “Through that process people become truly engaged They start to tell us what they would like to see we learn about the history of their region what’s important to them and through a very diplomatic process the artwork is chosen.” This is the fifth asset Unitywater has decorated with art and they are currently assessing future sites Why not head out this weekend for a drive where you

respect to all First Nations peoples The Olympics should work as a positive influence on Brisbane housing market conditions with the Games still some eleven years away the flow on effects are likely to be gradual and centred around significant infrastructure upgrades and the associated medium-term uplift in jobs and longer-term improvements in transport efficiency The most significant positive influence on the housing market is likely to be seen in the years leading up to the Olympics rather than during the four weeks of the Olympic and Paralympic games themselves Large infrastructure projects tend to have a positive influence on housing prices with the extra requirement for workers creating additional demand for housing during the construction process Large projects also tend to leave a legacy of a permanent housing demand uplift either through additional employment or via other benefits such as improved transport options and travel efficiencies related to transport infrastructure projects as well as additional amenity introduced to the area including social and retail outlets.  As more detail comes to light about where these projects will be located we should get a better understanding of the housing market opportunities however the obvious candidate for an uplift in demand is Woolloongabba and the surrounding suburbs The proposed billion-dollar overhaul of the Gabba stadium is set to be the epicentre of Olympic activity  Along with the Cross River Rail terminal and plaza this precinct is likely to see a lift in desirability The area is already popular with investors with around two thirds of the housing stock in and around Woolloongabba being rented  The proximity of the Princess Alexandra Hospital and Mater Hospital provide a permanent level of localised housing demand along with easy access to the Brisbane CBD local universities and Southbank precincts Woolloongabba unit prices are at the lower end of the inner south unit markets with a median unit value of $458,000; about $94,000 lower than Kangaroo Point’s median unit value $85,500 lower than West End and $38,000 lower relative to South Brisbane The lower price point combined with upcoming capital investment on infrastructure are likely to be a popular combination with investors and developers alike Other areas set to benefit would be the proposed sites for athlete villages along with areas set to benefit from transport infrastructure upgrades including the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast via upgrades to the M1 Pacific Motorway and Bruce Highway which could be accelerated Via:    https://www.corelogic.com.au/news/what-2032-olympic-games-means-brisbanes-property-market?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=20210809_propertypulse A
