It is worth considering how the release of the Sydney Metro train line (Australia's biggest public transport project) have impacted property prices over recent years. The faster Metro train transport links generate numerous benefits including creation of facilities such as cafes, restaurants, and shopping centres near these areas, making them very attractive to a range of buyers, This is discussed further in the article here by RealEstate - https://lnkd.in/emXX-7Gz.. Lets pick 6 train stops on the Metro train line and look at median house prices in these suburbs over the last 10 years to visualise the impacts - Castle Hill, Norwest, Rouse Hill, North Ryde, Chatswood, Crows Nest. As seen below, in all cases (except Norwest), prices have grown at least 5-6% annually over the period. #propertydirector #propertyinvestors #sydney #sydneymetro #propertyprices #medianprices #capitalgrowth #publictransport #castlehill #norwest #rousehill #northryde #chatswood #crowsnest

What do you do when a majority of businesses in most towns are critical of how parking impacts on their trade? At The People & Places Partnership Ltd. , we felt we had to investigate. To achieve this, we created the simple People, Places & Parking Process which takes a business and customer focused-look at how parking serves town and city centres. Like a city centre multi storey, we developed the process as three levels. The first level offers an accessible overview of town centre parking issues. It’s helpful to groups such as BIDs that want to address businesses’ concerns and engage with parking managers in a meaningful way. The third level creates bespoke solutions to identified town centre parking issues. That was 7 years ago and the process quickly became featured as a case study of good practice by the Local Government Association and the focus of a series of British Parking Association seminars across the U.K. Over this summer we have worked with our partner Richard Ofield of Park Consult to review and update the process, including adding a greater emphasis on wider sustainable travel. Take a look at the new overview brochure and follow the dedicated LinkedIn page for useful tips and updates. It turns out that there is a lot of mis-information and mis-understanding about the role of parking in town centres. The good news is that fixing it is not rocket science and there is always at least one quick win everywhere we look 🚀 ⛔️ 🅿️ 👀 #parking #towncentres #citycentres #parkingmanagement #sustainabletravel

How can we avoid high wastage levels in the property industry? 🤔 It’s become common practice for vacant offices to be presented in a furnished state, however upon deal completion they are stripped out and replaced by the incoming tenant’s fit out. This then leads to waste and costs which will be incurred by the landlord. How can we tackle this? One solution is by offering virtual tours 🌐 Omega RE | Certified B Corp have partnered with ReKreate to produce 360° virtual tours of this unfurnished first floor office at 100 Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth ☀️ 100 Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth, BH8 8AQ - https://lnkd.in/eJ3V9aai The entire virtual suite is fully customisable meaning we can cater its design to any interested parties.

Unbundling car parking from new housing developments just makes sense - at a time of chronic housing unaffordability, why push costs up an extra $100,000 for something people can do without? https://lnkd.in/g64K2tWZ If we're building housing close to train, metro, light rail or good bus corridors, with good options for walking to shops or rideshare, then new homeowners and renters will have plenty of affordable and easy options for getting around. In that case, people should have the choice to purchase or rent an apartment with or without parking, so they don’t have to pay for a parking space if they don’t need it. This chart is taken from the Committee's Better Parking for Better Places report, which goes deep into the future of car parking in Sydney - read the full report here >> https://lnkd.in/g9nkqhuX Harri Bancroft, Shannon Molloy, NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, CBRE, Ash Nicholson, Matthew Kandelaars, Property Council of Australia, Katie Stevenson, Estelle Grech, Chris De Gruyter, Lindy Deitz
