The Opportunity

Elite Wealth Creators presents a completed industrial holding in Hume, the precinct Canberra put its warehousing, logistics and waste infrastructure in, and zoned to keep it there.

These are strata-titled warehouse units of 101m² to 149m², finished in February 2026, with ground floor and mezzanine, a 7-star energy efficiency rating and outgoings paid by the tenant under the lease. Body corporate runs from $14.86 to $21.69 a week.

Hume is not a residential market. Its resident population is about 395 and there is no housing stock to speak of. That is the point: the suburb exists for light industry, and the Territory Plan prevents it converting to housing. If you want residential capital growth and tenant diversity, this is the wrong asset. If you want industrial exposure in a precinct with structural scarcity, it is worth a look.

The Investment Case

Bought for the precinct, not the building.

The building is a well-finished shed. What you are actually buying is a position in a small, zoning-protected industrial precinct that the ACT Government keeps committing capital to.

Zoning that holds

Hume is one of Canberra's few dedicated light-industrial precincts, and the Territory Plan restricts residential conversion. Industrial land here is not competing with suburban sprawl, which is what usually erodes an industrial precinct over time.

Government capital, committed

The ACT Government has contracted Veolia to rebuild its Materials Recovery Facility on Recycling Road, reported at $850 million, with construction from 2026 and operation from 2028. That is a decade-long signal about the precinct rather than a benefit to any one unit.

Costs that sit with the tenant

Outgoings are payable by the tenant under the lease, and the 7-star energy rating lowers what those outgoings actually are. Cheaper premises to run is what keeps an industrial tenant in place rather than shopping the market at renewal.

Read this before the yield

As at 25 August 2026 every unit in the complex is vacant. The developer is actively pursuing tenants and has advised that sold units are prioritised for leasing. The 12-month guarantee is what covers the income position while that happens, and it is an offer from the vendor on this development, not a guarantee given by Elite Wealth Creators. After 12 months the income is whatever lease is signed at the time. The guarantee is a percentage of the purchase price, so a larger unit at a higher price returns proportionally more in dollars at the same rate. Ask for the schedule rather than applying the entry price to a bigger footprint.

Buying

Three things to settle before you sign.

Commercial in the ACT differs from residential interstate in ways that matter. None of these are obstacles, but each one needs your own adviser rather than ours.

1

Register for GST

Buyers must be registered for GST by settlement. If the unit sells as a qualifying going concern, meaning it is tenanted by settlement, no GST is payable. If it is not, GST is payable and may generally be claimed back by eligible buyers through their BAS.

2

Understand the tenure

All ACT land is held under Crown lease rather than freehold, typically on a 99-year term. That is true of every property in the Territory, not just this one, but it reads differently to a freehold contract and deserves a conveyancer who works in the ACT.

3

Confirm the structure

Commercial property of this type is generally business real property under the SIS Act, which is why it suits an SMSF. Your accountant and licensed adviser confirm the structure and any borrowing arrangement for your fund before you commit.

Questions

Hume, answered.

Where are the units?

Paspaley, Hume ACT 2620, in Canberra's dedicated light-industrial precinct on the southern edge of the Territory. Canberra CBD is about 14km away, Queanbeyan about 9.5km and Chisholm Village Shopping Centre about 2.7km. Hume is an industrial suburb rather than a residential one, with a resident population of about 395.

How much do they cost?

Pricing starts at $433,900. Units run from 101m² to 149m² of net lettable area, so the price moves with the footprint. Individual unit pricing and current availability are released on enquiry, register your interest for the current schedule.

Are the units tenanted?

No. As at 25 August 2026 all units are vacant. The developer is actively pursuing tenants and has advised that sold units are prioritised for leasing. The 12-month rental guarantee is what covers the income position while that leasing happens.

How does the 12-month rental guarantee work?

The developer offers a gross rental guarantee of 6.39% to 6.41% plus GST for 12 months from settlement, and the full 12 months is paid upfront as an adjustment at settlement rather than monthly. It is an offer from the vendor on this specific development, not a guarantee given by Elite Wealth Creators, and it covers the first 12 months only. What the unit earns after that depends on the lease negotiated and market conditions at the time.

Can I buy through my SMSF?

Commercial property of this type is generally "business real property" under the SIS Act and is a common self-managed super fund asset. Your accountant and licensed adviser confirm the structure and any borrowing eligibility for your fund. For background on how EWC works alongside them, see SMSF property investment and SMSF finance.

Does GST apply?

Buyers must be registered for GST by settlement. If the unit sells as a qualifying going concern, meaning it is tenanted by settlement, no GST is payable. If it does not, GST is payable and may generally be claimed back by eligible buyers through their BAS. Confirm the treatment for your own circumstances with your accountant.

What about stamp duty?

The development has been marketed on the basis that no stamp duty is payable. ACT conveyance duty on commercial property depends on the purchase price and the structure buying it, and the position has changed several times in recent years, so treat this as a question for your accountant or conveyancer rather than a settled figure. We will put the current position in writing with the pricing schedule.

Is the land freehold?

No. All land in the ACT is held under Crown lease rather than freehold, typically on a 99-year term. This is normal for every property in the Territory and is not specific to this development, but the tenure differs from a freehold purchase interstate and warrants experienced legal advice.

What is the Materials Recovery Facility, and does it affect my unit?

The ACT Government has committed to rebuilding its Materials Recovery Facility on Recycling Road in Hume under a contract with Veolia reported at $850 million, with construction from 2026 and operation from 2028. It does not affect your unit directly. It matters because it signals long-term government commitment to the precinct, which supports occupier demand across the estate.
