Barry busily builds on great record of success

FUTURE

Mr Morris said he has been visiting the Gold Coast every week for the past 10 years (he splits his time between Mermaid Beach and Canberra).

He remains confident the GC has a bright future.

“We came here in 2002 and we’ve set up a business unit here, and we continue to run the business.

“GFCs come and go, prices go up and down. We are looking at the organic growth of the market.

“Population growth, vacancy rate, the impact of Brisbane on the Gold Coast.

“We haven’t flown into the place to do a development and run away when it’s over.”
