EPISODE 306 - Doing a “Top 30 Australia SDA Hotspots" Report
Join Debbie and Denise from NDIS Property Australia’s feasibility team as they explain their groundbreaking nationwide research reports process in identifying the most promising suburbs for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) development.
This project was a custom engagement from a NSW developer seeking a top 30 SDA locations report around Australia. This work took 2 months to finalise, and the 5 internal staff members were quite proud of their collaborative achievement in delivering the work for the clients.
Through a rigorous, multi-stage analysis, the team pinpointed locations where property prices sit below $1.5 million (knock down rebuilds) - excluding premium markets like Sydney’s northern and eastern suburbs—while balancing critical factors like:
- Demand drivers: NDIS participant numbers, funding allocations, and provider presence
- Market viability: Property prices, supply/demand gaps, and pipeline developments
- Liveability: Flood risks, amenity access, healthcare, transport, and land availability
- Investment potential: Dwelling mix (1:3 vs. group homes) and occupancy rates
Why Victoria and NSW dominated—and how select suburbs in QLD, TAS, and WA made the cut
The regions that missed out (and why SA and the NT didn’t meet the threshold)
If anyone is seeking a customised report for their own SDA development or investment strategy, please call our team on 1300254397.
Tune in for an insider’s look at the months of data crunching, collaborative debate, and real-world insights behind this landmark study—and what it means for SDA’s future growth.
