James Owen: Growth vs Infrastructure: What Investors Don’t See in High-Demand Regions
About this episode
Julian Khursigara interviews James Owen about the balance between growth and infrastructure in high-demand regions.
Julian is joined in the podcast studio by James Owen, a councillor on the Tweed Shire Council in Queensland since 2016 and a residential real estate agent in the region. Originally hailing from the United Kingdom, @councillorjamesowen initially arrived on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, eventually moving up north to the Tweed region of Kingscliff, where he now resides. In addition to serving on the council and working in real estate, James strongly advocates protecting the natural beauty of the Tweed landscape and volunteers as a surf lifesaver in his spare time. With his unique and unparalleled experience, James’s goal has been to deliver more jobs and infrastructure to the region while balancing this with the need to maintain the natural environment that forms the foundation of the community's identity. James speaks to the current housing supply strain in the region and how they are addressing it, sparking great conversation. 🏠 INVEST SMARTER, GROW FASTER — Australia's Property Investment Podcast Hosted by Julian Khursigara | CEO, Search Party Property | Award-Nominated Buyers Agent
