Try these projects for starters. There is a long way to go and the demand on rentals is growing.
Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) – owned by the Queensland Gas Company QGC (a BG group company)
Gladstone LNG (GLNG) – a joint venture between Santos Ltd, Petronas, Kogas and Total
Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) – a joint venture project between Origin, ConocoPhillips and Sinopec
Arrow LNG – a joint venture between Shell and PetroChina
Some good returns can be found especially in the smaller towns
To answer your question, yes the owner needs to pay these charges on a short term lease.
Unless you have a 6 or 12 month rental contract in place, you will need pay these expenses. From my experience having several properties in the same region, the owner usually pays for the yard maintenance, water and sometimes power for short term leases.
Once you have a long term lease with a contract these charges can then be passed onto the tenant.
The company that rents the property for two weeks cannot be expected to pay for mowing, and when the property is empty for a month someone has to pay the expense. The high rent for short term weekly or monthly rentals is there to cover these extras.
I would not be worried at all.
The agent has many short term rentals and I have had good dealings with them for over 3 years.
Hi Ballerina,
the Surat Basin area is going well. Further out, there are few rentals available in Miles and Wandoan and good returns are being made in these areas.There is a lot of development going ahead now in the entire area with the approval of the Xstrata mine, gas pipeline, and continuing gas projects. Not too sure about Dalby, but I heard some workers are having to drive from Chinchilla to Wandoan and Miles as there are no rentals. The area is only going to expand and from my experience things have really taken off in the last 4 months.
