What we see in Urangan
Hervey Bay's premium eastern pocket with the marina and pier. Retiree downsizer market with a secondary holiday-let pool around the marina apartments.
Lender shortlist for Urangan
Urangan splits cleanly into two lending stories on our 60+ panel: established detached homes value easily across the majors for downsizer and upgrader buyers, while marina-precinct apartments demand careful lender selection on floorplate size and short-stay management. A second-tier bank or specialist non-bank is usually the better starting point for the apartment files. All commentary is indicative and subject to policy at the time of submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Urangan borrower profiles.
Marina-precinct downsizer
Retirees buying a low-maintenance home or villa near the pier and marina, often releasing equity from a larger inland or southern property. These sit well under 80% LVR with a major bank, where the work is pension and investment-income servicing and keeping a generous offset for travel. Conversation is structure, not approval.
Holiday-let apartment investor
Investors targeting the marina-area apartments with short-stay potential. Lender selection is the whole game — some lenders restrict exposure on managed short-stay schemes or smaller apartment floorplates, so a second-tier bank or specialist non-bank that accepts the appraisal and the building usually produces the workable number. Indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only.
Hervey Bay upgrader
Local families moving from a starter home in Pialba or Kawungan into a larger Urangan home closer to the water. With a solid deposit these clear at 80% LVR with a major bank and the conversation is offset and fixed/variable split; we often park a redraw buffer for future works.

Common questions about developer finance in Urangan
Do you fund developments in Urangan?
Yes. We map the Urangan project size, presales, security, and exit path against lenders that fund comparable projects, then build the funding sequence before terms are requested. Senior debt for residential and small-mixed-use builds, with tranche releases against quantity surveyor reports.
Minimum project size?
Typically $1.5M+ TDC for senior debt; we have private lender relationships for smaller projects.
What pre-sales do we need?
Bank lenders generally require 50–80% pre-sales coverage on residual debt. Private and specialist non-banks are more flexible for the right sponsor.
