WHY BUILD NOW

From 1 July 2027, the 2026 Federal Budget restricts negative gearing for established properties bought from 7:30pm AEST on 12 May 2026 and replaces their 50% CGT discount for gains accruing from July 2027. Eligible new builds retain negative gearing and access to the full 50% CGT discount. Building a duplex can deliver two dwellings, two income streams and two titles from one block—an accessible way for everyday investors to build new, add value and benefit under the new rules. Zeto guides you through site selection, deal structuring, approvals, construction management and final subdivision, mentoring you at every step so you understand what’s happening and why.

WHY COASTAL

Coastal NSW & QLD

Coastal focused. On purpose.

Zeto develops in coastal NSW and QLD — and only coastal. It’s a deliberate focus, not a limitation.

Australians are moving to the coast in growing numbers, the supply of coastal land is naturally limited, and these are the markets we know deeply. We’d rather be specialists in places people genuinely want to live than chase deals anywhere. When you build with Zeto, you’re building where the long-term fundamentals are strongest.

(“Coastal” includes major coastal cities — Sydney and Newcastle count. What we don’t do is inland.)

General information about our focus — not investment advice. Property values can rise and fall.
