Is regional property really a better alternative for Australian property investors?

While regional markets offer more affordable entry prices and higher gross rental yields of around 4.3%, recent data from Cotality shows that regional property values fell 0.4% in August and 1.2% over the quarter.

The figures highlight an important consideration: higher rental yields and lower purchase prices don't automatically mean a better investment.

Discover what these market trends mean for Australian property investors in our latest blog.

Bright and enthusiastic, two words that perfectly describe the students from Stella’s Child who recently visited Geonet headquarters for a day filled with learning, meaningful conversations, and new experiences. The visit offered a glimpse into a real professional environment, giving the students an opportunity to develop their communication skills, build confidence, ask questions, and hear firsthand experiences and career advice from our team.

We loved seeing their curiosity, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn. It was just as rewarding for our team to share their journeys, exchange ideas, and hopefully inspire these young minds as they explore their own futures.

We're proud to continue supporting Stella’s Child and its mission to empower the next generation with the confidence, skills, and inspiration to pursue their dreams.

A recent report from the Cotality Home Value Index shows that Australian rents rose 5.7% over the year to August, while home values have now fallen for five consecutive months.

At first glance, higher rental yields may look like a positive sign. But yield can rise for two very different reasons: stronger rental income, or falling property values.

With rents increasing and property values declining at the same time, the latest figures reveal a more complex picture of Australia’s property market.

Australian rental yields have hit a seven-year high, but rising rents tell only part of the story. Explore what the latest data means for property investors.

A hotel can be more than a place to stay. It can become the destination itself.

According to JLL research, lifestyle luxury hotels can command average daily rates around 10–11% higher than the broader market, while food and beverage revenue per occupied room can be approximately 30% higher than in traditional hotels.

The reason is simple: guests are not only booking a room. They are dining in the restaurants, spending time at the bars, using wellness facilities, attending events, and engaging with the wider hotel experience.

For hospitality developments, that creates opportunities for multiple revenue streams across the property, supported by a guest experience designed to keep people staying, exploring and spending within the destination.

Luxury hospitality continues to show strong growth potential as travellers become more selective about where they spend.

According to CBRE's latest 2026 outlook, luxury hotel Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) is forecast to grow by 5.2%, while economy hotels are expected to see a 0.6% decline.

This highlights a growing shift in traveller preferences towards premium accommodation, personalised services and experience-led hospitality.

As demand evolves, luxury and lifestyle hotels are increasingly focused on delivering more than just a place to stay.

Luxury is no longer just about what you own. It's about what you experience.

As luxury brands expand into hospitality, they're creating opportunities for guests to immerse themselves in the brands they already know and love. Beyond accommodation, branded hospitality brings together design, lifestyle, dining and personalised experiences, transforming decades of brand recognition and loyalty into something guests can truly experience.

And there's a commercial advantage. Established brand loyalty can translate into stronger guest engagement, repeat visits and increased spending.
