PRIME SITE 83
Sights set on future
BRISBANE City Council has extended the timeline for phasing out of its infrastructure charges subsidy, following the introduction of new Queensland Government legislation. BCC development assessment chairwoman Amanda Cooper said council had reviewed its infrastructure charging policies after receiving details of the Government’s proposed maximum standard infrastructure charges regime. Instead of June 24, those eligible would now have until Thursday, May 31 next year or the end of the financial year following the year in which the development approval takes effect, whichever was sooner, to pay their infrastructure charges and receive the subsidy. ‘‘Council has been offering a subsidy of up to 35 per cent, however with maximum infrastructure charges being imposed by the Government, this subsidy is no longer viable,’’ Cr Cooper said. ‘‘Once council received the details of the Government’s legislation, we decided to extend the payment period for eligible development approvals.’’ An updated fact sheet is available at www.brisbane.qld.gov.au

Mr Bird said the new buyer was on the lookout for sites for future medium or high-density redevelopment. ‘‘He’s after prime locations with long-term redevelopment potential,’’ he said. ‘‘So, we had a buyer who we knew would be interested in that property and we approached the owner directly and negotiated the deal. ‘‘It’s quite a unique site and they are very tightly held way out there.
A CHINESE investor with an eye for long-term development potential has picked up a prominent retail property near the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre for $3.6 million. In an off-market deal, negotiated by Ray White Transact’s Rick Bird and Brad Hanson, Sunshine Investments purchased the 1362sq m property at Stamford Rd, which is currently leased by KFC. The lease expires in 2013 with options. Mr Hanson said KFC currently paid $183,000 a year for the site, making the yield about 5 per cent. ‘‘The yield reflects the underlying land value in that area,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s on a prominent corner site, with a left-hand outbound perfect retail site. ‘‘And with that new draft Indooroopilly neighbourhood plan and the council’s proposed resumption of the
