Then you subdivde the land and build a new place. at the same time, you renovate the current PPOR.

When everything is finsihed, you sell the PPOR and move into the place you’ve just built.

No CGT on either, no GST.

Go to a local agent and ask him the names of a developer or even a building in the area. talk to them and get the local figures.

10mins worth of calls, and you’re done.

The super fund invests in the unit trust. The unit trust uses its funds for desposits/percentage of the property. You borrow the rest.

Super fund hasn’t invested in assets other than the unit trust. So, its all cool.
