Can a capital city be a Boom Town? It can if it's Darwin. With prospects of becoming a natural resource hub of global significance, the Northern Territory capital is one of 10 Boom Towns identified for 2013.
Boom Towns are locations impacted by resources activity or undergoing an economic surge from major projects such as power stations, desalination plants, wind farms or transport infrastructure.
Often such developments involve capital investment of $500 million or $1 billion or more - and their construction and ongoing operation place pressure on housing supply. This drives rents and property values higher, presenting opportunities for investors who understand the dynamics and risks of such markets.
Because of the inherent risks in buying in one-industry locations, the locations featured in our Boom Towns report tend to be large towns or small cities which have well-rounded economies.
