I don't know about the rest of Australia but in WA our regional areas are finally getting a deserved infrastructure boost. I'm not suggesting they are going to double, triple or whatever. It's definitely going to be a more attractive proposition for some. Esp those who are sick of suburbia, can work from home(share trading) and like a semi isolated life. I'm all in ;)
"Regional areas. Over the next few years the government will be investing a lot of money into region centres. Major infrastructure projects and the NBN will boost the growth of these areas. Most investors will not even consider the idea of buying in regional centres but as most figures will show they have some of the best potential for growth. If you are an investor with a limited budget then look at buying in a regional centre. These properties can be cheap to buy, have large capital growth and high rental returns. It is win, win for all involved. Some of the regional centres that you should be paying specific attention to are Wagga Wagga, Orange and Townsville."
