Across Australia, a once-in-a-life-time phenomena is happening – the commodities boom. Developing countries led by China are demanding record amounts of Australia’s commodity resources, such as iron ore, coal, alumina, and liquid natural gas. This in turn has led to the largest capital expenditure on infrastructure projects in Australia’s history. In fact, today there is over $168bn in committed and proposed Australian infrastructure projects.

These new projects have created a unique opportunity for savvy property investors – infrastructure spotting. Time and time again, regional and coastal towns are experiencing property booms as billion dollar infrastructure projects bring in cranes, heavy equipment and cashed-up workers into town. Infrastructure spotting investors who anticipate these property booms have been richly rewarded.

Spotting the next infrastructure boom town is lucrative. Property prices in these towns often double within a couple of years and rental yields can reach 8-11%, as the influx of new workers pour into town. By timing their entry, investors can invest with relatively low risk into towns with confirmed projects that are going to experience surging prices in the near future.

Omega Investments specialises in enabling property investors to invest in these upcoming infrastructure towns with confidence.  Investors have three options to utilise the firm’s services. Firstly, individual properties can be purchased through the joint venture research agreement. Secondly, investors can choose diversified exposure to boom towns by investing in the ‘Infrastructure Town Residential Unit Trust’. Finally, investors can take direct equity positions in infrastructure town subdivision projects
