COLUMNIST Crispin Hull takes a look at the impact of our current tax system on property pricing, home ownership, and tenancy with the rise of the “I rent and I vote” movement.

We asked local property expert Callum Jones from The Pink Real Estate, for an update on the local market. “With the increase in new owners to the region there will be a demand for other services and businesses in Port Douglas. We have seen a lot of businesses shut during the last six months- some will re-open but others will remain vacant. There will be new opportunities arise and I believe we will see commercial rents become more affordable in the near future before growing again as the economy recovers in the wake of the pandemic.”

We asked three local experts in the field for an update. Dave Cotton from Raine and Horne Port Douglas, Charlie Madgwick from Raine and Horne Mossman, and Tim Smith, from Port Douglas Realty, provide a brief on the local property market.
