Most people I know in the industry (100's of FIFOs) live in Perth. Very few live over east. Those policies of flying people east for free have long gone. And very few people are based in the east.

Rivervale has had a huge chunk of apartments go up. I think prices are set to fall with the massive supply. It's hugely convenient, yes, but a lot has gone up in the last year. I don't have much knowledge in real estate, but who generally buys these small OTP apartments? Investors or owner...
