Landowners Win Lotto

Land near rail stations is worth more, all over Australia. On ABC 720 Mornings today John McGlue and his property adviser guest made this very clear. The Melbourne Age today had an article on the same point, headlined “Ticket to a Prize Location.”
As our freeway chokes and petrol prices go up, more of us walk a short way to the train station. And we love to do it; the trains are very well used. For people near Canning Bridge and the proposed South Perth Station this is good news. Leave the car until the weekend. Use less energy. And smile while your property appreciates. What a deal!
South Perth City Vision seems to have been right on the money five years ago when the community took the first steps of our Canning Bridge plans. When hundreds of residents put their heads together with the City Planners, good things happened.

On mornings like this one, the views are artistically hazy but our eyes and lungs don’t like the air. One more reason to get moving and get Light Rail going, now. With the news that people are buying into the area near the rail stations there’s even less reason to hesitate.
Next time I hear about a community forum on where we want our City to be fifty years from now, I’ll be there. Will you come too?
