About 8 yrs ago a mate answered a knock on his front door one Sunday
afternoon, it was a Indian real estate agent asking if he wanted to
sell his house, he had been thinking about it but he hadn't planned to
do anything for another couple of years.
He let the agent in and to cut a long story short he gave them a
valuation approx $150k more than he thought the place was worth, he
was skeptical so he signed a no sell no fee contract.
It sold within 2 weeks for the high price to a developer whose plan
was to demolish the house and build units, he also bought several
other similar properties in the same street, all with large block
sizes just under 3000 sq mtrs.
There's been a very big change in the scenery around here in the last
few months, with the Merrimu Precinct Structure Plan in it's final
stages of development:
https://vpa.vic.gov.au/project/merrimu/
Basically all the farm land around me has been sold to developers
opening up a development area that is roughly twice the size of the Melbourne CBD at 1200 hectares. The plan is for roughly 8 thousand new dwellings, with public and private schools, community centres, shopping districts, public transport, new roads, the lot.
Planning is in the final stages now, and works are expected to commence either late this or early next year with the full roll out expect to
take place over the next ten years.
Needless to say, things are going to get busy around here :)
One of the parts of the proposal is that interesting is that the
existing populated area where I am has been earmarked as a "Density Investigation Area" which, according to my mate at Moorabool town
planning, means that they will likely be re-zoning us from Rural
residential to regular residential which means the caveat of "no futher subdivision" will be removed from our section 32's.
And as a result of that, I've had 8 agents and/or investors banging on
my door looking to buy in the last 2 weeks :)
The proposed population density for the area is 15 to 21 properties per hectare, and as I have a property with dual street access I can
understand the interest. There's only 6 of us in the court, and between
us we have about 8 and a half hectares. At the moment we're trying to
agree on a price we'd all be happy with and sell the lot to them.
The problem is, where do you go?

It was a good idea when the signed the contract, as the subs are the

Their submarine industry is in its infancy and relies heavily on stolen technology, as does their aircraft industry and arms industry in

Which could be both good and bad, lots of extra traffic and construction noise if you stay but potentially a big profit to be made if you sell.

This is a bit of a test case. Most of the costs associated with it are
to be borne by the developers. They're doing things like donating the
land for things like schools and community centres, and the council/
state government are responsible for the cost of the buildings. Roads, services and everything else are at the cost of the developers.

I'm playing it by ear at the moment.
Having the property values go through the roof is fine if you're happy
to sell, but clearly not if you plan to stay. This is already an
expensive place to live and we pay around 4 grand a year for rates. Some locals are complaining that if the values go high they may be forced to
move as they won't be able to afford to live here.

She wants to go to Drysdale as she loves being near the beach. The thing that shits me about that is that when we lived in Altona we were 250
mtrs from the beach and she never went anywhere near the place :)
But yeah. I think Drysdale, as nice as it is, would be a pain in the
arse commute for both of them. For me I couldn't care less as long as I
have my workshop, and it may be an opportunity to build a larger one as
you can never have enough space. But at 63 I'm not sure if I want to be starting all over again....
If you make a big profit you could buy a place further out plus an
apartment in the city for those days when they don't want to travel:-)
Could do :)
The original plan I had with my two mates who I invest with was that we
stay in the game until we hit retirement age and then sell up and split
the profits between the three of us, but that may change in the not too distant future. With the increases in land tax and other ridiculous
rules and regulations imposed on landlords we may be looking at either getting out of residential and moving to commercial, or getting out of
it all together. If we got out of it altogether and sold this place for
a tidy sum the wife would like to move to New Zealand.
I wouldn't mind it as it's a lovely place, particularly in the South
Island, but you'd need a fuckload of money to live comfortably over there.

OTOH #1 son is taking his #2 son to Europe and the UK. The poms have
just made it mandatory for British citizens to enter the country using a British passport. Being the son of someone born there he tried to find
out whether it applied to him, the only way to do so was to apply for a British passport something that he didn't want and see if it was
approved. His passport arrived yesterday, but, at least, it is cheaper
than an Australian one. Now he will have to carry both.

So, you were saying...I'm waiting to hear about your time in the North West gas mines.
There is a reason that they call them oil WELLS and gas WELLS not mines.

A mate in Gisborne is selling his very nice property which would suit
you nicely, his shed is even bigger than yours and comes with a hub
dyno, he's even dropped the price, was $4.3million but now only
$3.8million:-)
We may have to talk :)
he's selling his other property in NSW:-)

That's what you usually come back with whenever you're faced with a

involved. I worked in an iron ore mine, drilling was involved. I
worked in a nickel mine, drilling was involved. Not to mention
exploration drilling. That occurs in mining for solids, liquids or gases.
Oil extraction is broadly considered a form of mining, specifically
falling under the category of *non-renewable resource extraction*. It
is classified under the "mining and petroleum extraction" industry, as
it involves removing valuable naturally occurring materials from the
earth, including petroleum, natural gas, and oil shale, using
industrial methods.
Wikipedia
Mining covers the extraction of any non-renewable material, including
oil and gas, that cannot be grown or produced in a lab.
Government and industrial classifications, such as those on
business.gov.au, group oil and gas extraction within the broader
mining industry.
The extraction process often involves drilling deep into the Earth to
access oil and gas reservoirs, similar to conventional mining for
solid resources.
Oil and gas projects often fall under similar regulations, licenses,
and leasing structures as mining operations, as detailed on the NSW
Resources site.
Oil extraction can include drilling, fracking, and processing from
materials like tar sands.
https://business.gov.au/planning/industry-information/mining-industry
The mining industry includes businesses engaged in:
coal mining
oil and gas extraction
metal ore mining
non-metallic mineral mining and quarrying
exploration and other mining support services.
