Editor's letter — Issue 112.

The Informer's editor on what to read closely in this month's issue, and why the Park Report inside is the most important piece we have run all year.

Issue 112 is the largest single issue we have published. Sixty-eight pages, eight features, the Quarterly Park Report, three operator profiles, and the longest Deal Desk piece we have run.

If you read one thing closely, read the Park Report. The land-use rezoning landscape is shifting in three states simultaneously, and the implications for caravan-park valuations are not small. Nathan Eades and the research desk have done the work. Read it before you assume your last appraisal still applies.

The profile to spend time with is Helen Tucker on selling Noosa Holiday Park after 41 years. It is the most honest interview we have published. It is also a primer on what redevelopment-with-cash-flow looks like in practice.
