A Chinese company has put forward a multi-billion-dollar plan to build a new city on the Papua New Guinean island of Daru, which sits on the nation's sea border with Australia. Daru Island lies in the Torres Strait and is only about 200 kilometres from the Australian mainland.
In November last year Papua New Guinea's Government signed a memorandum of understanding with another Chinese company to investigate building a $200 million fisheries park on Daru.

“ A Chinese company says it wants to build a new $39bn city with a major seaport, industrial area and free-trade zone on Papua New Guinea’s south coast, just kilometres from Australian territory.
The “New Daru City” proposal will escalate concerns within Australian security agencies over China’s interest in PNG’s impoverished Western Province, where another Chinese company plans to build a $200m fisheries industrial park.
Hong Kong-registered WYW Holding, a developer of Myanmar’s New Yangon City, has asked PNG Prime Minister James Marape to approve the development under a “Build Operate Transfer” arrangement, where PNG would receive the assets after an unspecified period of Chinese ownership and management.
…Mr Mo said the proposed city would span 100sq km and include fisheries and agricultural processing facilities, and provision for “intensive manufacturing”.
…Daru, which has a population of just 20,000 people and is the centre of a multidrug-resistant tuberculosis epidemic, is about 200km from the Australian mainland but within kilometres of Australian islands in the Torres Strait.”

House prices going up I hear , mate brought block in Mullumbimby late last year that is still being developed and can’t build for 18 months , cost him $425 ,000 he put 5% deposit , full amount paid when development finishes , 3 days after purchasing he was offered $40,000 more , 2 days ago real estate called and offered him $100,000 more than he paid . He said no. The 80 blocks originally advertised last year sold in less than 2 days. He got $250,000 more than he expected for his original house in ewingsdale .
