14 July 2022 - Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT (ASX:CQE) today announces the acquisition of a 50% interest in two newly constructed properties, being a TAFE campus and a specialist emergency medical facility (Properties) located in Robina, Queensland for $40 million which reflects a passing yield of 4.4%. The Properties have been acquired in conjunction with the Charter Hall Direct Long WALE Fund which acquired the other 50% interest.

The Properties are situated in the heart of Robina’s growing corporate, medical and educational precinct, being 80 metres from Robina’s train and bus interchange and 300 metres from the Robina public and private hospitals.

The Properties are underpinned by long term leases to TAFE Queensland (a State-Government owned not for profit vocational education provider) and Wise Medical. Both properties have 10-year lease terms with average fixed annual rental increases of 3.2%.  Settlement is expected to occur in September 2022.

This transaction was completed with the developer, Alceon Qld. Alceon and Charter Hall will continue to work together on the delivery of additional social infrastructure properties.  The transaction was undertaken off-market.

Students will be able to practice their skills in the live training facilities on campus, with an operational conference and banquet centre, specialised early childhood educator training facility, fully equipped health and fitness centre and lecture theatre. The building was recently awarded Silver in the Construction Category at the World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics World Congress in San Sebastian, Spain.

Robina will be Wise Medical’s second clinic (the first in Macquarie Park, NSW). These clinics were established to provide a greater choice for patients on how they access emergency medical treatment, without the patient having to visit a hospital. The medical asset will comprise of specialised emergency medical and dental facilities, incorporating consulting and treatment rooms, 9-bed ward, CT Scanning, X-ray and ultrasound facilities, ambulance bay and ancillary office, reception, and staff breakout areas.

Noel Whittaker’s take on the budget

Marketed as a fix for inequality and housing affordability, the latest budget instead delivers a tangle of tax changes that leave everyday Australians worse off.

Australia has no death duties. Technically.

Australia may not levy formal death duties, but a growing web of tax measures is quietly shaping what wealth passes between generations. Now, the 2026 budget adds another layer.

How to minimise tax with a will

Inheritance tax implications in Australia may surprise some, as poor estate planning without proper wills or trusts can lead to costly tax bills and delays for beneficiaries.

Testamentary trusts post-budget: Estate planning, tax reform and the ‘death tax’ debate

Proposed Budget changes to taxation are casting new uncertainty over testamentary trusts, prompting closer scrutiny of estate planning structures and the real implications of reforms still taking shape.

Back to the future - Why indexing CGT is a good idea

A return to indexation of capital gains would be a fairer way to compensate households for the effects of inflation than the current discount. Importantly, it opens the door to future, broader reforms to stop the taxation of inflation.

Meg on SMSFs: The CGT changes don’t impact super but what about Div 296 tax decisions?

New CGT rules could tip the scales in the super vs non-super debate. For those facing the Division 296 tax, the case for withdrawing has gotten more complex. A "comparison rate" tool may help assess decisions.

Investment strategies

Yields take centre stage again

The Australian credit landscape is shifting. Yields are rising, issuance is strong and spreads continue to tighten. Income is re‑emerging as the dominant driver of returns, though pockets of risk may be building beneath the surface.

The grass is always greener: Rethinking Australian vs global equities

Investment strategies

Stop asking if there's a stock market bubble. Ask this instead.

Markets continue to push onwards despite valuations looking stretched by historical standards. Bubble talk is rampant, however investors may be focusing on the wrong thing. The real story sits deeper than the headlines.

Taxation

The GST cannot stop inflation

Raising the GST when inflation jumps sounds clever on paper, until we examine how it may play out in practice. What is pitched as a simple inflation fix can lead to a sharp turn in the wrong direction for prices.

Why SpaceX is coming to your super fund

SpaceX’s blockbuster debut is grabbing headlines, but the real story for Australian investors is much quieter. Giant listings eventually filter into super funds and ETFs, subtly reshaping portfolios long before most realise.

Taxation

Is the government being honest with us about its business CGT changes?

The government’s assurances on small‑business concessions don’t withstand the scrutiny. Token carve‑outs and a lack of credible rationale for CGT changes may reshape how Australia rewards long‑term value creation.
