What makes Port Douglas so different?

The Dynamics of Supply and Demand

• Port Douglas is on a peninsula, surrounded by water and National Parks on
three sides and by cane fields, which can never be subdivided, on the other.

• The Douglas Shire has restricted medium density development to just seven
   blocks between Port Street and Mowbray Streets.

• Medium density zoning is limited to three storeys.

• Almost all available, appropriately zoned land is currently being developed.

• The price of residual land has escalated by about $10,000 per unit site in the
past 8 months with consequential increases in unit prices.

• Shortages of labour in the local building industry together with the increased
   costs of materials has added a further 8 - 10% to the price of new units.

• Unit prices will further increase after 1 July due to the GST.

   On the demand side   ........................

• Tourist numbers in Port Douglas are increasing by around 22% per annum.

• Eco-tourism to the Daintree and the Barrier Reef is increasing exponentially.

• The "prime" season is being expanded by overseas visitors in the "off' season.

• The depressed value of the A$ makes Australia an economic holiday option.

• Direct flights from Melbourne and Sydney significantly reduce travel times.

• The Virgin Airlines operation based in Brisbane will reduce airfares to FNQ.

• High profile international visitors continue to give Port Douglas great publicity.

CONCLUSION

There is every indication that tourist numbers will continue to increase.

Land shortages combined with unavoidable increases in materials and labour will limit

further development.

Consequently, demand for tourist and residential rental accommodation will match and, in

the near future, will outstrip supply.

Increased Demand + Limited Supply = Increased Prices.

NOTE: We are not aware of any other location in Australia which has similar
unique attributes, and therefore the prospect of huge capital gains, as Port Douglas.
