Shepparton

The diversified national property development group, Goldfields, has bulked up its regional Victoria residential development pipeline, securing three adjoining sites in Shepparton.

Situated in the Shepparton South East Precinct Structure Plan (PSP), the largest of five proposed major growth corridors in the Shepparton-Mooroopna urban area, the newly acquired sites are set to become a masterplanned residential community comprising of approximately 450 lots (subject to council approval).

Located a stone&rsquo;s throw away from the Shepparton town centre, the estate will offer easy access to local primary and high schools, Coles and Woolworths supermarkets and retail favourites Bunnings and Kmart.

Future residents will also benefit from its proximity to the Shepparton Railway Station, with the Victorian Government&rsquo;s Stage 3 upgrade of the Shepparton Line due to commence this year. The works will deliver additional Shepparton to Melbourne rail services with a shorter travel time.

The acquisition further bolsters Goldfields&rsquo; commitment to investment in regional centres and follows their purchase of a <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/wa/goldfields-expands-into-wa-with-margaret-river-house-and-land-site-acquisition">400-lot, $8 million site in Margaret River, WA announced in February</a>.

Goldfields&rsquo; National Director of Communities, Paul Cicchiello, said the recent purchase of the residential sites in Shepparton reinforced Goldfields&rsquo; commitment to targeting strategic opportunities in Victoria&rsquo;s regional growth areas.

&ldquo;Demand for residential land across regional Victoria continues to grow, and Shepparton is no exception. It&rsquo;s experiencing significant population growth, which is supported by infrastructure investment from the Victorian and Federal governments,&rdquo; Cicchiello said.

&ldquo;Goldfields is excited to meet this demand to ensure Shepparton can continue to thrive. Our approach will deliver a functional, quality community that adds value and celebrate Shepparton&rsquo;s natural surrounds.&rdquo;

Goldfields&rsquo; Chief Executive Officer Lachlan Thompson said that the new project will provide an unrivalled offering, with quality amenities and green open spaces creating an attractive opportunity for first home buyers, families and investors alike.

&ldquo;These sites are perfectly positioned in the Shepparton South East PSP, providing residents access to an excellent array of amenities,&quot; Thompson said.

&quot;This new urban development will create an interconnected community with easy access to existing retail centres, extensive aged care accommodation, local parks and other community facilities.&rdquo;

&ldquo;Shepparton has a history of low rental vacancies and strong yields for investors. It&rsquo;s also more affordable than similar regions in rural Victoria, such as Ballarat and Bendigo, and these factors contributed to our belief in the area.&quot;

Construction is expected to begin in 2025.

Victorian home builder Sherridon Homes is set to create a customer hub in Bendigo having bought a historic building in the heart of the town.

The hub, which will support growing demand for their homes, will service the wider area, including the Greater Bendigo and Shepparton regions.

Sherridon, who also have offices in Ballarat, Gippsland and central Melbourne, are preparing plans to submit to the local council to refurbish the commercial building at 2-4 Pall Mall.

They're seeking to remove to upper level hoarding to reveal and restore the original façade and windows, as well as turn the untenanted element of the 545 sqm space in to a colour selection showroom and office.

The building has a long history of commerce and trade dating back to the 19th century, and is currently partially tenanted, with a vacant portion most recently home to Dymocks book store.

Sherridon Homes, part of AHB Group, is on track to build around 1,500 homes this year across regional Victoria and Melbourne.

Its regional operations are headed up by seasoned industry professional Natalie King, the former managing director of JG King Homes.

“We are committed to being a regional builder creating jobs and opportunities for local businesses to support the growth of the region”, says Ms King. “Underpinning our success will be the strength and support of a large building group embracing the passion and knowledge of a local team.”

Shepparton’s market is being driven by a splash of spending on public infrastructure as well as a flurry of construction activity for private businesses, according to a recent Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report. 
The current COVID-19 epidemic is going to have a negative impact on key drivers, so it will be interesting to see what impact this may have on the property market in the short to medium term, the valuation firm said.
The report notes many local manufacturing businesses are expanding to larger scale premises, which is having a flow through effect on the whole market. 
"As stated in previous Month in Review entries, the hospital expansion is bringing a wealth of jobs for both short term construction and ongoin medical staff, as is private sector allied health work, which is bringing population movements from outside the Goulburn Valley. This has been steady now for the past 12 to 18 months and will continue throughout 2020," the valuation firm said.

"The land situation in the area is tightening, with a number of larger estates being in their last stages.
"This will start to put upward pressure on land values, the likes of which we haven’t seen in over a decade. This will hit first home buyers the hardest as they make up a large chunk of the new home builder pool," the valuation firm added. 
"Investors are still in the area chasing the strong yields that we have to offer, but the intensity the out of town investors brought six to 12 months ago has cooled off. Unit prices have started to bounce back with a couple of good results recently." 
"Overall the market is still performing strongly with sustainable growth rates. Many agents are reporting sub 30 days on market and have been for an extended period."

This edition of Month In Review had its topic defined in late February with submissions from our offices collated through to late March. During this period, shifts in the social and economic landscape due to COVID-19 became increasingly dramatic, as demonstrated by the varied information provided by offices over the course of three weeks. 
</div>
<div>This month’s residential theme on baseline property market drivers remains a common thread, and provides an indication of what influences to monitor as the property sector recovers post-crisis.</div>

Shepparton property market performs strongly with sustainable growth rate: HTW residential

Billionaire investor Gerry Harvey sold his disappointing Victorian dairy farming venture to the Sydney billionaire father and son combination Tony and Michael Perich.
They have bought <a href="https://regionalvic.eldersrealestate.com.au/rural/sale/coomboona-vic-3629-vic-3629-19224581/" target="_blank">his company’s rural holdings</a> for more than $40 million.
The pair, together with NSW-based dairy operation Moxey Farms, have purchased Harvey Norman’s Coomboona dairies.
It spans a 2000 hectare operation north-west of Shepparton in Victoria, with Goulburn River frontage.
Harvey Norman told the ASX the property had been sold.
The sale price didn't cover full outlay of Harvey Norman’s $75 million exposure.
Harvey Norman took an “impairment loss” of $28.78 million on the venture’s debts in June and said it had recognised a total of $54.01 million in losses in the last financial year.
Harvey Norman put the Coomboona dairies operation on the market in July after the company fell into the hands of administrators Ferrier Hodgson and receivers McGrathNicol, who were appointed by National Australia Bank in March.
Elders’ Nick Myer and Anthony Stevens sold the property which milks about 2500 Holstein cows and produces more than 30 million litres of milk. 
The Perich family has a 54% stake in the listed Freedom Foods which has a Shepparton dairy plant near Coomboona.

A Shepparton office space currently leased to the state government has been listed for sale.
The ground floor office at 307-331 Wyndham Street, on the corner of Fraser Street, is to be sold subject to registration of a subdivision.
The lot is approximately 965 square metres and has street frontages of approximately 39.2 metres to Wyndham Street and 19 metres to Fraser Street.
The current tenant is the Department of Justice, which has been occupying the premises since 2009 and has a five-year lease which commenced in September 2014, with an option for an additional five years.
The current rental is $162,612 per annum net, with the lease providing fixed annual rental increases at 3.5%, with a market review applicable to the option.
The property is being marketed by selling agents Gray Johnson, in conjunction with local agents Gagliardi Scott Real Estate.
Gray Johnson’s Scott Ashby says he anticipates that the investment will sell on a yield in the 9% to 10% range.
“At a time when yields on commercial investments in Melbourne are transacting in the sub five percent range, this offering provides investors an opportunity to acquire an asset on a comparatively more attractive yield,” he said.
It is to be sold via private sale with the deadline closing on Wednesday 5 April at noon.
