Cricket Australia reveals new sponsor after dumping Commonwealth Bank
Westpac has signed on as the major sponsor of Australia's men's and women's cricket teams across the Test, one-day and Twenty20 formats, replacing long-term sponsor of the sport and its key rival, the Commonwealth Bank. The sponsorship deal, which was foreshadowed late last year, commenced on July 12 and was formally announced on Thursday. It comes after a 37-year commercial relationship between CBA and cricket. The Westpac logo will be on the front of the players' shirts, and the banking giant has vowed to help grow the game. 'We're excited to step up to the crease and back Australian cricket,' Westpac chief executive Anthony Miler said in a statement. 'Like Westpac, cricket in Australia has a long and proud history stretching back 200 years. As Australia's oldest bank, we can't wait to join forces with one of Australia's oldest sports and help shape the future of this great game.' The bank, which also has a major sponsorship deal with the NRL, did not say how much it was spending on the sponsorship, but it is reportedly worth around $40 million. Westpac said the deal would include support for local clubs, measures to create new opportunities for women to get involved in cricket, and support for First Nations cricket talent. The bank would also be the presenting partner of the National Cricket Inclusion Championship and any international disability series in Australia. Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg said the cricketing body was thrilled with the new deal.

Gold Coast penthouse sets record with $19.57 million sale
The Gold Coast's luxury apartment market has notched another record with the $19,568,000 sale of a full-floor penthouse in the Royale Gold Coast development-just weeks after the project set a previous benchmark with a $19.18 million penthouse sale. Together, the two penthouse deals have generated over $38 million in off-the-plan sales, marking the highest transactions of their kind in Surfers Paradise history and reinforcing the city's newfound prestige in the national property market. The latest deal, for Penthouse 3601 on level 36, was secured by a local businessman who had originally purchased a half-floor residence in the building, only to upgrade when the full-floor penthouse was released to market. As the tower's form has become more prominent during construction, the buyer was drawn by the opportunity to secure an expansive, uninterrupted coastal view from a residence unlike anything else in the region. " Royale Gold Coast is unlike any other project in the Australian market," said David Devine, founder and managing director of DD Living. "Its sculptural form, premium north-east orientation and floor-to-ceiling glass have been meticulously designed to maximise natural light and capture uninterrupted 360-degree views across the ocean, hinterland and city skyline." Each penthouse offers over 660 square metres of indoor and outdoor space, with features including a gourmet kitchen fitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, an oversized butler's pantry, glass-enclosed wine cellar, full-sized bar, formal dining for 14, and expansive indoor-outdoor entertaining zones. The master suite occupies the entire eastern wing and includes a resort-style ensuite with a freestanding bath, double showers and floor-to-ceiling glass offering uninterrupted ocean vistas. Residents of Royale will also enjoy six-star resort-style amenities such as two lagoon pools, a wellness centre with spa, cold plunge, sauna and yoga terrace, as well as the private Club Royale residents' lounge with an executive kitchen and beachfront views. According to luxury apartment specialist Adrian Parsons, Managing Director of TOTAL Property Group, the Gold Coast's prestige apartment sector is being fuelled by both demand and a significant shift in who's buying. "Many of the purchasers in the luxury apartment market are local Gold Coast owner-occupiers intending to live in the residences full-time," Parsons said. "We're also seeing strong demand from Brisbane and interstate buyers. While some are securing apartments as premium holiday homes, a significant proportion are planning a permanent move to the Gold Coast to enjoy the lifestyle on offer year-round." Parsons attributes the current boom to the city's broader transformation into a diversified economic hub. "The Gold Coast has matured significantly in recent years, evolving into a more resilient economy that is no longer solely reliant on tourism," he said. "This transformation has supported continued interstate migration, with more people choosing to make the Gold Coast their permanent home. The region's lifestyle, climate, and world-class amenities continue to attract high-end apartment buyers seeking both luxury and liveability." With absolute beachfront development sites now scarce, Parsons also noted that developers are turning their attention to emerging lifestyle markets across Southeast Queensland. "These areas offer strong long-term growth potential and are gaining attention from both developers and discerning buyers alike," he said.
