That's cool:)

O sorry. I was bagging the comments section of the paper. Last time I read any comments in the paper was a couple of years ago. There were a string of comments basically telling non-local people (like me) to go away and stop destroying their town. I don't know what I have ever done to destroy...

Does anyone up there know if there is new housing about to go on the market? I've heard something but no details.

Do they state why it wont go ahead? Whenever I read any comments by locals, they are generally like nasty brats poo pooing anything and everything for the sake of being negative.

O sorry Dec, I didn't notice that on the advert. I thought you meant that was the estimated rate of dropping values since the date she had purchased:o

Now Dec, please try to play nice. I'm sure the poor lady requires some pampering. My house is a five minute walk from schools and shops and rented last week before the current lease had expired. Thank you Lord! The good news is that my tenant has come off the island and still has a years'...

I'm happy with any applicant who has a job. I was more interested in your opinions about there still being plenty of jobs overall. It's not like the entire place closed down just because one refinery has become operational. Cheers

Hi, we have received an application for 12 months for a brand new tenant who works as a cryogenic lagger. Can the locals tell me please what job prospects he would have for the next twelve months. I understand that just because one refinery has gone to operational stage, the others are still...

How valid is the idea that the thousands of workers who live in camp on the island are there in a temporary camp because they cannot all access the ferry when their shifts change over. Once the construction phase is completed would there be more housing demand on the mainland?

Maybe I misunderstood and he meant the hotels are leasing unsold CBD apartments? That would make more sense.

Thanks for the info Norwoodman. We met someone today in Brisbane who manages one of the hotels and other prestige accommodation in the CBD and has links with the two main developers in Gladdy. Like us, he bought property at the wrong time and has decided to keep it as his business associates...

Your block has got to have more appeal than anything in Calliope. Best wishes

So not too much more stuffed-ness to go. That is a relief.

Hi Beanie Girl, good question. US Dollars is my uneducated guess

I agree with your validation of NRAS meaning a virtually guaranteed supply of middle-income tenants and the positive cash flow aspect. However if there are no residents in Gladstone to take up your home, then there are no residents to take up your home. There are hundreds of empty houses at...

Thank you for reminding us all how dumb I am. Was your brilliant piece of journalism written two years ago when our Asian neighbours couldn't get enough Gas fast enough?

I used the Rolfe report (2011) as confirmation that Gladstone had a few more good years before being time to ditch. We were happy to purchase mid 2012 at $50K less than asking price and naively thought that would be the bottom. I guess we have better things to do with our money and can carry...

Why would you want to buy a new house in the outskirts of Gladstone? If you say you have been reading this, then you would have read all through 2013 there are already massive vacancies and it is only going to get worse? If you want to buy an NRAS, then please stay in a capital city. You...

And the good news just keeps rolling in! We've got new tenants from early December on a lease until March 2015. Should we just sell now and cut our losses? A 3/1/2 in Telina on 700 m2 corner block.

Pm has been instructed to call tenants with a polite "no".
