All three areas have various areas of growth including tightly held owner- occupied residential and commercial property, development sites, and areas in which are ready for capital growth expansion due to immigration increase, gentrification, and expansion growth projection.

Western Sydney’s newest expansion has seen the opening of a new airport with its first commercial cargo flight taking off in June 2026 and with passenger services scheduled to commence in October 2026. The cost of this build was approximately $5.6 billion. The upside is with this expansion it has created new urban development and growth with more to follow in the coming years.

Western Sydney’s population is predicted to grow by 653,000 people in 2041. This new airport has created commercial, industrial and warehouse facility. It will create a boom in infrastructure and tourism sector as the airport can accommodate comfortably ten million passengers per annum. This will create job creation including small to medium enterprise job creation, property growth as more people will move out to this area due to career potential and infrastructure development.

IM Capital uses market metrics to understand risk exposure before committing investor capital. Our property analysts examine comparable sales, price trends, transaction volumes, time on market and local supply to assess the security’s marketability and a realistic sale value. We consider this alongside the LVR, borrower capacity and proposed exit strategy. Traditionally IM Capital lending criteria on second mortgage facilities often excludes single-asset backed loans in Victoria and certain states and half-complete development sites, where repayment may depend too heavily on one security or on further construction funding. We continue to monitor these risks throughout the life cycle of each loan.
