INVESTORS TAKE NOTE – THE RULES HAVE CHANGED. LAND MAY BECOME THE SMART PLAY.
20 Longview Drive, River Heads QLD 4655
Offers Over $399,000
With the Federal Government’s changes to negative gearing now drawing a clear line between new builds and established properties, opportunities like this are starting to look increasingly strategic for forward-thinking buyers.
Under the changes:
New Builds Remain Exempt
Investors purchasing newly built properties will still retain full negative gearing benefits, allowing rental losses to offset personal taxable income.
Established Homes Face Restrictions
Established residential properties purchased after Budget night may no longer provide the same tax advantages, with losses restricted to future rental income or capital gains only.
Existing Owners Protected
Current investment property owners prior to 12 May 2026 remain grandfathered under existing arrangements.
What does that mean moving forward?
It means vacant residential land in growth locations – where buyers can construct a brand-new investment property – could become one of the most attractive sectors of the market.
And that’s exactly where 20 Longview Drive, River Heads positions itself.
Your Future Investment Starts Here
Generous 2,526m² Block with Major Infrastructure Already Complete
Positioned within the rapidly growing coastal community of River Heads, this substantial 2,526m² allotment offers the flexibility to create a high-quality new build investment or lifestyle property in an area continuing to gain momentum.
One of the standout advantages here is the significant groundwork already completed for you.
A brand new fully reinforced concrete driveway, completed at an approximate cost of $30,000, provides immediate high-quality access to the block and removes one of the major upfront expenses often associated with vacant land purchases.
Essential services are also readily available:
Town water connected
Power available
NBN available for connection
This creates a seamless pathway from purchase to planning and construction.
Why River Heads?
River Heads continues to emerge as one of the Fraser Coast’s most underrated growth corridors.
Known as the gateway to K’gari (Fraser Island), the area offers:
Exceptional boating and fishing access
Ferry connections to K’gari
A relaxed coastal lifestyle
Increasing buyer demand for larger allotments and lifestyle living
All while remaining only approximately 15 minutes from the Hervey Bay CBD.
As affordability pressures continue pushing buyers toward land and new construction opportunities, blocks of this size with infrastructure already in place are becoming increasingly difficult to secure.
