A MORE CONSIDERED NEXT MOVE

Recent changes to ACT stamp duty concessions now allow eligible owner-occupiers purchasing unit-titled homes to pay no stamp duty, potentially saving tens of thousands of dollars on their purchase.

For example, on a $1,500,000 property, buyers could save up to $68,700 in stamp duty, making home ownership significantly more affordable. The result is a simpler, more affordable transition and with greater capital retained where it belongs, with the homeowner.

If you would like to understand how this could benefit your next move, reach out to Matt today.

Note from the editor

Canberra’s architectural story is typically told through masterplanned boulevards and modernist landmarks. Yet, our most compelling properties often hide within quiet suburban streetscapes. On page 18, we explore the striking Ricotta House. A reimagined 1920s Spanish mission cottage, it proves heritage conservation doesn’t require predictable replication. The ownerand-designer collaboration demonstrates that blending eras doesn’t require a seamless transition – often, allowing distinct architectural styles to exist side by side unapologetically creates the most impactful statement of all.

Wake up and hit the slopes

If you’ve ever wanted to check the snow report from your front verandah, this could be the house for you. This near-new, custom-built home at 357 Old Settlers Road, Jindabyne, has views of the Perisher ski fields and – if things look good – you can be on the slopes in less than an hour.

On more than 40 hectares, this alpine retreat has four bedrooms and multiple living areas. Oversized windows look out over breathtaking countryside and the Snowy Mountains beyond.

There are nods to classic Federation style throughout, from the grand hallway to the warm country kitchen with all the bells and whistles, to the charming claw-foot bath.

The rural infrastructure includes horse stables and yards, spring-fed dams, bore water and fenced paddocks.

“This remarkable property presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a lifestyle of rural elegance,” says agent Matisse Rawson of Belle Property Snowy Mountains, who is handling the private sale.

Stamping out an unfair housing tax

The ACT government’s recent decision to abolish stamp duty for frst-home buyers has been widely praised, but economists say other states and territories are unlikely to follow suit.

The measure, included in last week’s ACT budget and scheduled to go into efect from July 1, will make the territory the frst Australian jurisdiction to abolish stamp duty on frst-home purchases permanently.

Pensioners, some National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recipients, and all home buyers who have not owned property in the past fve years will also be exempt from paying the duty.

ACT chief minister Andrew Barr has described stamp duty as an “inefcient and unfair tax” and signalled his intention to abolish it entirely in the coming years.

Maria Edwards, chief executive of the Real Estate Institute ACT, says her organisation is “very supportive” of the government’s latest move.

“Stamp duty is a real barrier for people entering the housing market. Right now, we have newly built houses in Canberra that are going unsold, and this measure will make it more afordable for people to buy those homes.”

However, Edwards says not everyone in the ACT supports the measure.

“Rates in the ACT have already gone up quite a bit to cover the budget shortfall the stamp duty measures have created,” she says. “Some people who have paid stamp duty over the years, and are now copping higher rates as well, feel like it’s double dipping.”

Disincentive to right-size

Dr Nicola Powell, Domain’s chief residential economist, notes that abolishing stamp duty and replacing it with a form of ongoing taxation is “politically difcult to do” but says the

change in the ACT will create a more functional housing market.

“Stamp duty afects people’s housing decisions. It is a disincentive to rightsize, meaning people might remain in homes that are too big for them, which contributes to issues with supply.”

Powell says stamp duty represents an “easy revenue raiser” for state and territory governments.

“In recent years, we’ve seen stamp duty costs grow far faster than incomes in eastern states, which has placed an increasing burden on buyers who are already struggling to keep pace with rising property prices,” she says.

Although “weaning themselves of the revenue” could prove challenging, governments seeking solutions to the housing crisis should follow the ACT’s lead, Powell says.

Hard for states to copy

Independent economist Saul Eslake agrees with Powell’s assessment: “Almost every economist I know regards stamp duty as one of the worst taxes that governments have ever invented, because it distorts people’s decisions as to how land is used.”

Collecting stamp duty is also a lessthan-ideal tax strategy for governments because it is unpredictable, Eslake says.

“The revenue state governments get from stamp duty depends not just on house prices but also on the volume of transactions, and as we’re seeing at the moment, when people think house prices are going down, vendors hold of selling.”

Eslake says the ACT is uniquely placed to phase out stamp duty, and that such a move would be far more challenging for other states and territories.

“What the ACT government is actually doing is replacing stamp duty with higher rates, because the ACT government is also the Canberra City

Council, so it collects municipal rates. Other state governments don’t collect rates: their councils do.”

Any other jurisdiction attempting similar reform would need to “confront the sacred cow of imposing land tax”, Eslake says. But he argues that doing so would create a fairer system.

“There’s something fundamentally unfair about a property tax system that allows you to contribute a lot less to the provision of hospitals and schools if you

live in the same house for 50 years than someone who, for perfectly good reasons, moves four or fve times in their lifetime.”

Eslake says he will be watching the ACT government’s progress closely.

“If a government ever got to the point where it had abolished stamp duty entirely, we would see more people selling homes that were no longer suitable – downsizing, for example – and an increase in supply. But it would need to be abolished for everyone.”

“In recent years, we’ve seen stamp duty costs grow far faster than incomes in eastern states.”

NEW HOMES

Words by Lucy Jones

If you’re in the market, there’s never been a better time to make the move to Woden Green. Now complete, the Phillip development and its community have come to life, with residents embracing the one-of-a-kind facilities and connecting with their neighbours. There’s also an unmissable fnancial incentive on the horizon.

Earlier this month, the ACT government announced that it would be the frst in the nation to abolish stamp duty for anyone purchasing a brand-new, turnkey apartment. The new measures will come into efect from July 1 and have no price limit.

“Eligible owner-occupiers purchasing a new apartment at Woden Green, directly from the developer, will pay zero stamp duty, saving thousands and making the decision to move even more compelling,” says agent Ben Wilson from The Property Collective. These buyers will also beneft from a 90-day defect liability period.

Though most of the development has been sold and many residents have moved in, there is a small selection of

Community-frst living

More than amenity. A better way to live.

Spaces that make every day better.

At Woden Green, apartment living extends well beyond your front door.

Start the day with a swim in the 25m indoor pool, keep your routine in the quiet cardio gym, or fnd a moment of calm in the established gardens by the refection pond. When it’s time to bring people together, private dining, BBQ spaces, covered cabanas, sunken lounges and landscaped outdoor areas give you more room to host, relax and connect. There’s also space to work, unwind and enjoy time close to home, with a business lounge, cinema and shared areas designed for real everyday use. It’s amenity with purpose, created to make apartment living more spacious, social and enjoyable. Construction is complete, residents are already settling in and a great community is building.

Construction complete. Now ready to occupy.

For owner-occupiers, there are savings of up to $62,000 in stamp duty with this new change.

When Woden Green was frst announced in 2022, with the memory of pandemic lockdowns still fresh, it

promised a new take on traditional apartment living. As well as your home and private sanctuary, the development would ofer a place to build a community.

“We didn’t want to add amenity purely for marketing. We wanted to create highly usable spaces that not only connected neighbours but were an extension of their homes and added value to everyday living,” ACT state development manager, Mia Dragila of Hindmarsh, said at the time.

It’s been a huge success. The private dining room is being used for birthdays, morning teas and other large family gatherings, while the indoor heated pool is popular with both early-morning swimmers and visiting grandchildren. The development was also the frst in Canberra to have its own private dog park. “It’s become a daily meeting point for residents and their pets,” says Wilson. The majority of buyers have been downsizers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle that doesn’t compromise on space or quality. They’re drawn to the outstanding amenities and the opportunity to enhance their lifestyle. And they’re bringing their friends.

“Since the development has completed, we have had a number of purchasers introduced to the development by friends or relatives who have already moved in,” Wilson reveals.

GARDENING

Words by Tammy Huynh

From little things …

They may be easy to establish, but these popular plants can become surprisingly difcult to live with over time.

Low-maintenance plants are often at the top of the wish lists of busy home owners. However, some plants eventually outgrow their space, spread beyond their boundaries or require more upkeep than expected. Before planting, it’s worth considering not just how a plant performs in its frst year, but how much work it may create in the years to come.

Agapanthus Agapanthus spp.

Agapanthus has long been a go-to choice for tough, drought-tolerant colour. Once established, it can survive on little attention, but that’s also part of the problem. Over time, the clumps can become enormous, swallowing garden beds, edging and pathways.

Dividing or removing mature plants is physically demanding, while leaving

seed pods on the plant can result in unwanted seedlings popping up elsewhere in the garden.

Try instead: Native fax lilies (Dianella spp.) or society garlic (Tulbaghia violacea)

English ivy Hedera helix

With its glossy evergreen foliage and ability to quickly cover walls and fences, English ivy is often planted as an easy-care climber or ground cover.

In many ways, it earns that reputation, requiring little watering, feeding or attention to thrive. However, keeping it where you want it is another matter. Its vigorous growth can quickly cause it to creep into garden beds, scramble through shrubs and trees, and smother neighbouring plants.

Regular trimming is often needed to keep it within bounds, turning what seemed like a low-maintenance choice into an ongoing gardening task. Try instead: Star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) or native hardenbergia (Hardenbergia violacea) for a lower-maintenance climber, or creeping boobialla (Myoporum parvifolium) if you’re looking for a spreading ground cover.

Old favourite: Agapanthus are hardy but have a strong tendency to spread.

Giant bird of paradise

Strelitzia nicolai

It’s easy to see the appeal of giant bird of paradise. The dramatic foliage creates an instant tropical feel, and young plants ft comfortably into most gardens. The challenge comes later. Mature specimens can reach several metres high and wide, forming dense clumps that crowd neighbouring plants and overwhelm smaller spaces.

This is a species that’s best given plenty of room from the outset.

Try instead: Elephant ears (Alocasia and Colocasia spp.) and cordylines (Cordyline spp.) can provide a similar tropical feel without the eventual height and spread of giant bird of paradise.

Kikuyu Pennisetum clandestinum Kikuyu is often recommended as a tough, drought-tolerant lawn that can handle heavy foot trafc. However, its vigour doesn’t stop at the edge of the lawn. Runners regularly invade garden beds, paths and neighbouring areas, creating a constant edging and maintenance task. During the warmer months, rapid growth can also mean more frequent mowing than anticipated. Try instead: Soft-leaf bufalo varieties ofer a lower-maintenance alternative, with slower growth and less tendency to invade surrounding garden beds.

Passionfruit Passifora

spp.

Fast-growing and highly productive, passionfruit vines are often seen as an easy way to grow fruit at home. However, many popular varieties are grafted onto vigorous rootstocks that can produce suckers from below the graft.

If left unchecked, these shoots can eventually outgrow and replace the fruiting variety, leaving gardeners with a vigorous vine but little fruit. Passionfruit vines are also relatively short-lived and should be replaced every few years. Try instead: Keep enjoying passionfruit but remove any shoots that emerge below the graft union (the swollen join near the base of the stem) before they take over the vine.

Heritage evolution over replication

Ricotta House reworks a near-century-old Canberra cottage, balancing its Spanish mission origins with a contemporary addition.

While Canberra’s architectural reputation tends to be told through its master-planned boulevards and modernist landmarks, some of the capital’s most compelling homes have long existed more quietly behind its suburban streetscapes. Hidden among established gardens and heritage precincts are traces of the city’s earliest residential building boom from the 1920s to the 1930s, when

Spanish mission cottages – defned by stucco render, arched detailing and terracotta accents – dotted the Inner North and South. Modest in scale and rich in character, they represent a softer, often overlooked chapter of Canberra’s architectural identity.

Many of these homes have remained outside the broader national and international design conversation. Now, one reimagined Canberra cottage is

drawing renewed attention to both the style and the city itself.

Ricotta House has become the frst Canberra home to be featured in Beta Plus Publishing’s internationally recognised interiors publication series. Its inclusion in the fourth edition, World’s Best IV: 80 Interiors from Around the Globe, places the project alongside some of the world’s most acclaimed residences.

The home belongs to furniture designer Sarah Gibson, co-owner of DesignByThem, who worked with Paul Tilse Architects and interior designer Vanessa Hawes to rework the almost 100-year-old Spanish mission cottage into a home balancing clean-lined modernism with the charm of the original structure.

For Gibson, whose design sensibilities were shaped by growing up in one of the city’s original Derek Wrigley modernist homes, the project became an

In

“Architecture gets interesting when it is distinct and separate, so the two styles can be appreciated for what they are.” Sarah Gibson

opportunity to explore the intersection between heritage architecture and modernist thinking. Originally, the intention was to create a more visually contrasting addition.

“There has been a lot of conservatism when it comes to conservation, which at frst sounds good but has resulted in buildings being mimicked rather than contrasted,” Gibson says. “Architecture gets interesting when it is distinct and separate, so the two styles can be appreciated for what they are.”

Conceived as a courtyard home, the extension was pulled back to carve out a generous north-facing sun trap linking old and new. To accommodate modern requirements, a subterranean level was introduced — invisible from above, yet fully realised below.

Rather than treating the original home and contemporary extension as separate identities, the project focuses on cohesion through texture, form and

materiality. Concrete fooring extends throughout both eras of the house. The rendered facade required by heritage controls was embraced rather than resisted, carried into the interiors and refned on the new addition.

Hawes says the interiors were always designed with Gibson’s own furniture and creative practice in mind.

“I think Sarah is a minimalist at heart, and the design was focused on clean lines with a particular colour palette that brought warmth and depth to the home, but also acted as the perfect backdrop for her own design pieces,” she says.

That relationship between architecture, interiors and furniture became collaborative throughout the project, with Gibson heavily involved in both the furniture selections and the fner details.

“I think we all felt like Sarah’s home was going to be special because she cared about every single detail,” Hawes says.

“As a creative thinker, there were always ideas that she would bring to the table.”

The resulting home feels connected to Canberra’s design culture itself, understated from the street, but highly resolved upon closer inspection.

It also refects a broader appetite for evolving the capital’s heritage homes rather than simply preserving or replicating them.

“I believe that they make up some of the most interesting heritage homes that we have in Canberra,” Hawes says. “The charm of the arches, the shape of the chimney and the texture of the render are all things that designers are trying to replicate now, to varying degrees of success.”

THE INVESTOR

Words by Sue Williams

Taking the ‘fun’ out of super fund

There are benefts to a self-managed super fund, but when there are multiple members, the problems can multiply.

Self-managed super funds, or SMSFs, can prove enormously benefcial for families, friends and business partners, but they can also become problematic if members disagree on strategy … and disastrous if they end in expensive legal fghts.

A parent, for example, who’s receiving a pension from the fund and wants to retain investments that provide more income, or cash out, can argue with children who want to stay in and prioritise longer-term capital growth. Then there are often family feuds after a death. In one case, a daughter disagreed with her father’s wish to split his death beneft equally and used her trustee powers to pay it all to herself. In another, surviving family members clashed over the payment of SMSF death benefts compared to amounts received

under the deceased’s will.

Michael Hallinan, SuperCentral special counsel – superannuation, has seen it all over the years, but says there are sensible strategies for avoiding disputes.

“It’s almost like a joint venture and should be approached in the same way,” he says. “Sometimes, a single-member SMSF is the safest fund of choice, as with a three-member fund, two members can outvote one, and a four-member fund can end up in a deadlock.

“But you can allow trustee decisions to be made by a simple majority rather than unanimously, provide a casting vote to one person, or voting rights can also be allocated on the value of a trustee’s account.”

The major problems occur when people are excited about going into a fund together and don’t stop to put

planning rules and parameters in place for decision-making later on, says Shore Financial chief executive Theo Chambers.

“The difculty is when people are of diferent ages, and have diferent appetites for debt,” he says. “Some people want to pay out, and some want to reinvest the proft, and some want to sell, and others want to hold.

“You need to think about what’s going to happen in the case of death or divorce, or incapacity, or when adult children enter the fund. You should have a documented process for decisionmaking, the same as in a shareholders’ agreement.”

Most disputes fare up around blended families, invalid paperwork – especially with binding death beneft nominations – trustees acting in self-interest and

SMSFs sitting outside wills.

Steve Palise of Palise Property Buyer’s Agent says that when people ask him whether they should go into an SMSF with a family member, he reminds them that 50 per cent of marriages end in divorce.

“Apart from falling out, people can get sick, change or lose their jobs, move, have new partners,” he says. “I often recommend against it. But if they want to, you tell them they need to see a good property solicitor to set the rules, and they’ll often say, ‘No, I’ll be fne!’

“Yes, they might be fne now, but in three, fve, seven or 10 years, things can be very diferent. So, it’s important to set up a proper contract and treat it as if you’re dealing with an enemy. Because, in litigation, often the partner of a family member can become the worst enemy.”

“Set up a proper contract and treat it as if you’re dealing with an enemy.” Steve Palise

Prescription for success in a prime spot

Deakin’s commercial oferings are largely characterised by professional service frms and those in the medical and allied health sectors, all of whom want a business address that’s close to the CBD, the parliamentary triangle, and the Canberra and Calvary John James hospitals.

This is why investors and owneroccupiers will likely take a look at this complex with undercroft parking.

No. 12 on the ground foor occupies 749 square metres of the building, and is essentially a self-contained unit with direct access from Napier Close.

It is currently ftted out as specialised medical accommodation, including multiple consulting rooms, a treatment room, a sterilisation room, a reception area, wet areas and accessible facilities.

Other features include grid ceilings, double-glazed windows on three sides, air-conditioning, and medical-grade

fooring. There’s also a rear ramped loading area with a roller door.

Daniel McGrath of Ray White Commercial says the self-contained nature of the property and its direct aspect onto Napier Close give it a signifcant point of diference.

“Although it’s designed and ftted out with specialist medical use in mind, the property is well appointed to support other uses,” he says. “It could also be modifed to suit professional service frms, with the potential to adapt the existing ftout.”
