The tourism boom which we predicted two years ago has arrived, meaning things will only get better for the Coast.

A decision on a proposed $7 billion mega resort is due in early-2015. An economic impact statement released by the proponent in September 2014 suggests that, if completed, tourism revenue could increase from $1.15 billion per annum to $8.9 billion; 15,000 jobs could be created.

By the end of 2015, I believe the data will show Gold Coast to have been one of the strongest markets in Australia.

But don’t be fooled, leopards don’t change their spots!

Gold Coast Mayor, Tom Tait, is a developer by trade and he is very pro-construction. There have been a number of large building applications lodged during the last 12 months. Significant oversupply is expected again in a few years time. Areas with a high concentration of new supply will include Southport, Coomera and Labrador.
