Soils from a service station would have some fuel that have spilled ind washed into the soil, you will find that the the soil is to be removed from the ground and tested and treated to neutralise if possible.a geotechnicial assessment is needed for the site and a action plan.
Also alot of investors are buying in Beaudesert( 30 min from gold coast house and land for $295000. and redbank plains area for $265.
west of brisbane is also a good growth area as well.
go look at the urban management plan to get a better look at the big picture
The trick is to have a property with a point of difference, so you can attract a higher rent and therefore higher return

With Larger Unit Complexes in Queensland, where there is a Resident Manager on site. They usually have the management rights for buying and selling units in that complex. But the complex is registered as a body corporate, that is made up of the unit owners, to form the management committee. These complexes are then managed by a Body Corporate Manager. What you need to do is to check a couple of things, as the developers pull a few tricks to keep the levies down, and attract buyers saying that these are cheap, but then in a couple of years there needs to be a large increse in fees. So the first thing i would do is check what type of plan the complex is registered as. There are two types of plans in queensland, 1. building unit plan (BUP), this includes painting of the building and the common area or shared facilities, 2. Group Title Plan (GTP) this means only the common property is maintained and the painting is the owners responsibility. Anither thing to check is what they call the Sinking Fund, this is a fund that is for the maintainence of the areas according to the plan type.
In victora the strata plan outlines the boundaries of the body corporate, some complexes have a reserve fund but it is not required by law as it is in brisbane and sydney.i hope this is of help to you
