Modern concrete-and-glass new-build architecture at dusk
Budget Briefing · 12 May 2026

The 12 May
Transition.

The Federal Budget rewrote the Australian property thesis. Under the Government's announced 2026 Budget measures, from 1 July 2027 tax efficiency would be reserved for new builds. We map sophisticated capital to the assets positioned for it.

Client Voices

"Dax walked us through the numbers before we spent a dollar. We settled two growth-corridor builds in twelve months — both leased above the rental appraisal."
JW
James Whitford
House-and-land investor, Sydney
"I'd talked to three buyer's agents before Hera. None of them showed me a build cost breakdown like this. The land and the builder are picked separately, on the data."
PR
Priya Raman
Second investment property, Melbourne
"Dax flagged the announced 2027 changes early and helped us settle a new-build before the cut-off window narrows. The strategy is written down, not pitched."
AK
Andrew Kemp
Growth-corridor buyer, Brisbane
"He showed me a Perth corridor I would not have looked at on my own — twenty pages of supply, vacancy and rent data. The build settled and re-leased $90/wk above the appraisal."

Sophie Lambert
House-and-land investor, Perth
"I'd watched Dax on Sky News for years before I picked up the phone. He's exactly the same off camera — calm, methodical, no hype, no upsell."
MD
Mark Donnelly
First investment property, Adelaide
"Hera ran a full strategy session before recommending anything. The discipline of waiting for the right block and the right builder is the part most agents skip."
