My friend’s comp. developed this, I heard it has already been deployed in a major real estate development project in Western Sydney and some mining infrastructure projects in Perth. My friend is highly confident that this technology will help accelerate the progress of real estate and infrastructure projects, contributing to solving Australia's housing supply shortage and infrastructure lagging issues.

What do you all think? Can this tool really play such a significant role in the long run? Or is it just an imagined commercial demand??

I went to the open house inspection last weekend, found this house looks really nice, but concerned about if there is any hidden issues - some people said it's located by the creek ?? - should this be a problem ? thankx if anyone could help about this.

In Australia, many homeowners want to build a backyard extension or a granny flat. The design looks perfect at first, but everything grinds to a halt because of a single tree—the Council won't let you cut it down, nor will they let you get "too close."

But how close is "too close"? It’s not a guessing game. There is a precise formula behind it: measuring the trunk, calculating the protection circle, and checking the encroachment percentage. Master these three steps, and you’ll know exactly how big you can build and where it can go on your land.

Today, we’ll look at a real-life case study (showing how a minor adjustment turned a rejection into an approval) to break down how the AS 4970-2025 standard works:

• 🌳 The tree protection zone
• 🌳 How much the house can "encroach into the circle" before it exceeds the limit
• 🌳 What protection measures are required during construction once the tree is retained

Most people think installing a water tank is just to save some water. While that's not wrong, it only tells half the story.

What are everyone's thoughts on this waterfront-adjacent mansion in Hunters Hill? It has been forced into an mortgagee auction because the owner defaulted on their mortgage and couldn’t repay their debts.

Based on my analysis, the property sits within a Heritage Conservation Area. The streetscape features a relatively uniform mix of modern and contemporary Australian architectural styles, while this specific home is built in the Queen Anne Revival style, which offers timeless appeal. However, the downside is the strict limitation on alterations and additions, as anything would require Strick DA approval, which is notoriously difficult to get here.

Aside from that, everything else looks quite positive. The area is highly scenic and secure, and the land sits on an elevated slope well outside any flood zones. There are also no pipe easements on the block. The land value was recorded at $5.25 million in 2025. I estimate the final auction price could easily top $7 to $8+ million, assuming it doesn't pass in.

What does everyone think about this?

Found this article to be very instructive and highly technical ->

Are we seeing the early signs of reduced stock in Australian's property market?

I thought there were rumblings that investors and so forth would flood the market with the Budget Announcement in May, but the reverse seems to be true.

Methodology...

- Got the number of new listings posted per week with Ray White across Australia in the last 60 days, by looking at the property listings aggregator Quiet Listings.
- Grouped the daily new listings count by day into by week, and plotted as per graph attached.
- Utilised Ray White because they have the largest national presence and known to be the largest agency in Australia, but similar trends were seen with McGrath and The Agency.

Does anyone know of other sources that could support this theory?
