  • Strong Sales Achieved for Central Park's Latest Release
    MEDIA RELEASE Frasers Property and Sekisui House achieve impressive sales for Central Park’s latest release, DUO Over A$229 million sold to apartment buyers during the launch Sydney, 2 December 2015 – Buyers have shown a strong appetite for internationally- designed apartments close to the Sydney CBD, with joint venture partners, Frasers Property Australia and Sekisui House Australia, achieving impressive sales from the launch of their newest residential release, DUO, at the A$2 billion Central Park urban village. Frasers Property Sales and Marketing Director Paul Lowe is delighted with the response from launch of DUO with over A$229 million sold at launch. “Apartments were snapped up across the full spectrum of the residential offering. One- bedroom suites, one-bedroom + study apartments and two-bedroom apartments were purchased by a mix of owner occupiers and investors,” said Mr Lowe. “We also experienced strong sales and interest for the three-bedroom dual-key apartments in DUO which were offered for the first time ever at Central Park. Dual-key apartments are a unique product type in the market and have proven to be ideal for investors wanting to stay in one apartment and lease the other one out, as well as growing families who desire space and flexibility in apartment living. “We’ve now successfully sold over 1,800 apartments across the entire Central Park precinct to-date. The average apartment sales price at the DUO launch was just over A$1million.” Frasers Property and Sekisui House launch DUO in Sydney Frasers Property and Sekisui House launched DUO to the Australian market last week, providing buyers with the opportunity to purchase one-bedroom suites from A$625,000, one bedroom apartments from A$700,000, two-bedroom apartments from A$1,180,000 and three-bedroom dual-key apartments from A$1,930,000.

  • Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust Annual Report 2019-20
    Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust Annual Report 2019-20 (Artwork to be inserted) Chairman’s Report The context in which l write this report is unusual to say the least. I look back on the period of our last financial year (1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 – the subject of this report) and remember 11 months of normality and strong outcomes for the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) precinct and then one month of huge upheaval and nervousness with the emergence and impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Looking forward, our thinking is both dominated and blurred by the uncertainties arising from the way the pandemic is unfolding globally, nationally and specifically here in Victoria. Its impacts effect everything we do and all our stakeholders, partners and our people. Every decision is made with multiple scenarios attached and with little capacity to control associated timelines. These are, indeed, unusual times. Our Executive Officer describes in more detail later in this report the facts and figures relating to activities and attendances at our stadium but suffice to say here that we had a bumper 2019 AFL season and an equally strong 2019/20 cricket season capped-off by the staging of the Women’s T20 World Cup played in early March this year between India and Australia in front of over 86,000 fans. The atmosphere at the Women’s final was electric and showcased the world’s two best T20 women’s cricket teams playing world class cricket. The local and international TV audiences were huge, testament to the now indisputable global and local interest in women’s sport.
