Within the immediate Primex catchment, the forecast for the Far North Coast Region population in the next 25 years is expected to grow more than 26% to 289,000, while by 2031, the Mid North Coast population is expected to grow by 27% from 333,400 to around 424,000, according to the NSW Department of Planning.

This also equates to the Far North Coast having to cater for 60,400 more people by 2031, with 51,000 additional homes needed. There is a similar forecast for the Mid North Coast where up to 58,400 new homes may be needed by 2031 to cater for a forecast population increase of 91,000.

The NSW Department of Planning also identifies that the Far North Coast will also need to support 32,500 extra jobs, while around 2500 people are settling in this Region each year.

The North Coast is therefore one of the fastest growing Rural Regions in Australia and with such a close proximity to South East Queensland and the continuing development of infrastructure including the Pacific Highway now more efficiently connecting the North Coast to SE Qld, the focus on Real Estate throughout the North Coast has never so pertinent.

Primex attracts around 50,000 visitors and is therefore an ideal venue to host the largest and most comprehensive real estate coverage on the North Coast. Primex has in the past few years established a growing list of Agents, who see the potential within the Exhibition to capture strong inquiry from these visitors who travel from the 3 eastern states, and continue to show genuine interest in property located on the North Coast.

This is why Primex has now developed a stronger focus for the Real Estate industry and working in association with The Northern Star, is expected to host an extensive coverage in 2008. Inquiries produced for Agencies participating at Primex also justifies how the event can offer a unique opportunity, in providing the all important connection between Buyers and Vendors through the appointed Agent and in turn provides the ideal backdrop to generate inquiry and sales.
