My friends bought investment properties in Toowoomba.
The use of recycled sewerage was NOT voted by the people, thus it will not go ahead. Lack of water — yes, but it is more of the trend in the whole of SEQ.
The price of properties in Toowoomba is still relatively affordable. But rental vacancy is relatively high at present. Finding a house that is currently tenanted (and tenant willing to continue renting) may be a good strategy.
The growth is declining or stagnant in some suburbs (and some people sees opportunities here).
There are new shopping centres near Hume St and Stenner St, near the area where the existing K-mart and Harvey Norman complex. I'm looking at properties at Darling Heights (near the Uni), which is about 2km from these developments.
I was told that if something is hurt (e.g. if the pergola fell, blown by the wind and hurt the neighbour, etc.), I may be in trouble.
Thanks "Opportunity In Everything" for your helpful info.
I also searched this discussion area, and I also found some of your related replies on the topic. I learned a lot!
I called the Council, and I found the lady very helpful. She gave me the information I need — good service. This made me wonder why my Solicitor advised me that getting this kind of information will take time, and will cost me money, etc., etc. I found that it is just a phone call away, and it's free!
It seems that the patio / pergola has no council approval, and if the shed is more than 10 sq.m. (rough calculation from the aerial photo seems it is more than this), then, it is also without approval. The car port though has an approval.
Thanks,
