Commercial Property Land Valuation System in Queensland is Arbitrary and Unpredictable
New land valuations for 24 Queensland LGAs have highlighted the flaws and inconsistencies in the state’s system, writes Paul Butler.
A Noosaville industrial unit leased to a bakery has been sold for $600,000 by Ray White Commercial Noosa & Sunshine Coast North.
Unit 20, 11B Venture Drive was purpose-built for use as a commercial kitchen — and these are hard to find in Noosaville, according to agent Tracey Ryan.
“Our savvy interstate investor made several trips to inspect the property before negotiating aggressively to secure the property,” Ms Ryan says.
“The vendors, who live interstate, were looking to invest in a property closer to home and decided it was time to put it on the market.”
The property is in a 25-unit complex with metal decking and block buildings.
Surrounding businesses include other food businesses as well as a mechanical workshop.
“Noosaville continues to be short of commercial kitchens,” Ms Ryan says.
“The 260sqm tenancy, which includes a large grease trap and exhaust system, is leased to the bakery until 2020, with an option to extend.
“The net return is $51,766 per annum and the sale represents a yield of 8.6 per cent.”

Ray White Commercial has its first woman auctioneer. Chantel Dielwart has smashed the glass ceiling in the usually male-dominated auctioneer space, obtaining her accreditation late last year.
