Local agents and community the focus of visit to Tamworth
8 May 2012

Local issues will dominate the agenda of meetings as the President and CEO of REINSW arrive in Tamworth today (Tuesday, 8 May 2012).

“Meeting with local agents is the best way to get the feel for what’s happening at the coalface here in Tamworth,” said REINSW President Christian Payne.

REINSW CEO Tim McKibbin has joined Mr Payne on today’s visit, which is part of a statewide tour.

“Spending time with local agents here in Tamworth, listening to their issues and concerns helps us frame our lobbying with government at all levels.

“Key matter we look forward to discussing with local agents include:

  • The differences between metropolitan and regional property markets and the challenges facing Tamworth.
  • Housing affordability issues.
  • Meeting the needs of those ‘tree change’ buyers seeking to move to Tamworth from other parts of the state and looking at how to best maximise the market.
  • Stamp duty reform including the ‘Pay As You Go’ stamp duty plan proposed to the NSW Government by REINSW.
  • Interest rates and the state of the local market.
“Tamworth is an important regional centre and our visit today will help us better understand the issues affecting the community.

“The CEO and I are looking forward to discussing a wide range of issues with local agents and seeing where REINSW can add its weight and support,” said Mr Payne.
