All riders using the venue for the first time must sign a waiver. Individuals under 18 must have their parent or guardian sign the waiver. Helmets & grips with bar ends are compulsory.

Whilst we enjoy a lot of sunshine and good weather, it is nice to know that when the weather does not permit or when we want a safe place for our kids to enjoy physical activities minus the punishing heat of the sun, we have a venue like RampAttak.

The REIQ recently reported the latest housing market statistics which showed Wavell Heights median house price swelling to $705,000. This marks an increase of 8.5% from the last 12 months and 34.3% over the last 5 years. In the 2nd quarter of 2018, there were 30 homes sold in the suburb.

“2018 has seen a tighter market in property sales. However, the sales figures are only slightly down from last year’s, surprisingly,” said Tony McLoughlin of Ashton Properties.

“There is definitely a need to ensure you have done your research when it comes to selling because if you have and your price wrong, it could sit there for a while. Some agents are tending to buy listings in a slower market and then putting owners through a painful 6 months plus on the market, when the average time on the market is still under the 90 day period for selling.

“Anything with a view, large block or renovator still draw great interest. But as I keep saying, if the price is overcooked, buyers are well armed now with information on the internet and will eliminate inspecting your property purely on price and you may get no one through the open. Everything done correctly, you should be continuing to get at least 5 plus through your opens for the first 6 weeks.

“In a nutshell, I think that there is still very high demand as there is less to choose from which is still creating a supply and demand with buyers and sellers.”

The number of sales in Wavell Heights in 2017 from 1st Jan to 27th Sept was 185. In 2018, the number of sales during the same period is 141, for a difference of 44 total sales.

“Wavell Heights is still a high demand suburb, with 913 visits per property, compared to the average in South East Queensland of 373 per property,” Mr McLoughlin said.

Got a furry friend with lots of energy to burn?

There is a gem of a place that’s definitely one of the best off-leash dog parks in Brisbane that offers plenty of space where dogs of any size can enjoy exploring. A park that is just a few minutes away from Chermside Westfield and Virginia Train Station, the Downfall Creek Dog Park.

The Downfall Creek Dog Park is one of Brisbane’s largest off-leash parks covering about 4 hectares of land teeming with trees and beautiful flowers. The park features a wide grassy area that provides plenty of space to run, sniff, and play. As you stroll along the park, you will be greeted by a relaxing view of the creek and pathways adorned with lush trees.

The Downfall Creek Dog Park off-leash area is complete with agility equipment for your fur baby to romp around and burn up his excess energy. The off-leash area is partially fenced-off with markings to indicate boundaries of the area.

On the left side and about a three-minute walk from the off-leash area, if you are facing the adjacent Brickyard Road, is the Turquoise Place playground area. The playground offers a spacious area for kids to run and play, not to mention slides and swings, and gazebo for parents to sit out and relax.

At the Downfall Creek Dog Park, you’ll also find the Downfall Creek Bikeway and fitness circuits for people looking for a place to engage in outdoor physical activities. Most of all, there’s plenty of spots where families can picnic and enjoy some bonding moments.
