ANALYSIS: Regional Australia recovering faster than the capitals
Regional Australia is in turn-around mode, according to analysis by investment bank Morgan Stanley. Housing prices are rising faster in the regions than the major cities and the pressure has transferred to the rental market. Morgan Stanley sees a number of reasons for investors to be exposed to regional Australia. “Specifically, we highlight the end to a multi-year drought, uplift in regional tourism and potential structural de-urbanisation as a result of COVID-19,” the analysts write in a note to clients.

Classification is crucial when it comes to funding roads. Clarence Way is classified as a regional road and not a rural road. This affects state funding.

Minimise the menu for mice
Grain growers in western Victoria are being urged to reduce available feed in the lead-up to sowing this season in a bid to help protect the 2021 seasons’ crops from mice.
