🏭 Can you live in a warehouse? It's not as simple as you might think...

✨ Key takeaways:

🔹 Brookvale's industrial precinct is being revitalised with modern commercial buildings.

🔹 Upgrading older warehouses helps support local businesses, tradies and essential services.

🔹 Some older commercial properties once allowed owners to live and work on the same site.

🔹 Existing use rights may still apply to some long-established properties, but new approvals are very different.

🔹 Planning rules continue to evolve, making it essential to understand what you can (and can't) do before buying or leasing.

🔹 Always check approvals and zoning before making decisions on commercial property.

💬 Would you consider a live-work space if the rules allowed it?

🏘️ Is government policy pushing investors away from residential property?

Policy changes, rent controls and tax reforms are reshaping the investment landscape. While some investors are looking towards commercial property, one thing remains true: when supply slows, affordability becomes even harder to achieve.

A healthy property market depends on confidence, new housing and balanced policy. The conversation is changing—and investors are adapting with it.

💬 Do you think residential property is becoming less attractive, or will it always be the strongest long-term investment?

🏗️ Could your property be worth more as a development site?

It starts with knowing three things:

📍 Your property's zoning
📏 Your land size & FSR (Floor Space Ratio)
🏙️ What can actually be built on the site

Once you have those, you can estimate a developer's feasibility and understand what your land could be worth.

One important thing to remember: your property may have two different values—one to a family buying a home, and another to a developer looking at the land. Sometimes they're the same, and sometimes they're worlds apart.
