I think the reason behind Perth not having small pubs open late is the lack of pokies.
I am not saying I am in favour of pokies but they do subsidise pub opening hours. You only need a few one armed bandits to justify keeping a staff member on. Drinkers you need three or four times as many.
Thsi is a great thread for someone looking at buying in new build suburbs with the possibility of building in stead.
Can I just say that big cross on Sydney in the post above; Developer levies make it expensive to build is actually a positive if you invest in property.
You have to assume...
