can vouch for that.
My husband works at Versacold which was P.O cold logistics, and he said the casuals earn up to $2000 per week before tax, some more, which is more than most in senior fulltime postitions there, and they do have a problem getting loans.I'm still a beginner too,
IP in Laverton, sure would.
The area aound Laverton is home to a very large number of "permanent Causual" labour users,
CATerpillar, Davids holdings (Jewel supermarkets etc), Westgate Transport(coles myer), Sakata, Shell, BP, ASR, Commercial Polymer, The Jail, Comalco, P & O Coldstores
all have labour forces of 300+ in each of 3 shifts 7 days/week, where the staff are suppplied by contract labor hire services. These permanent workers are determined by the banks to be part time employees and they cant get loans. They do have net incomes of 1K+/week (I did I drove a forlklift at Westage) and the desire to live close to the beach close, to work, close to services. They all drive, they dont care that the nearest supermarket is 4km away. The area is well served, closer to town than anything else that isnt sold out months in advance. It has a bad rep, but so did Williamstown in the late 80s-90s, now houses in Willi are 1million+
The houses are like Heidelberg repat area, solid brick ex-RAAF houses, no maintainence requirement, small lots, no lawns to water, and the recreational facilities are spectacular.
I think Laverton will show continued capital growth, at least untill the median price matches adjoining suburbs, and in Melbourne is one of the few areas that is actually CF+
