A new seafood-forward restaurant by the Don's team opens on Rathdowne Street
$$$$
Cordelia, the sophomore venue by the Don's team, is a little less rowdy and a little more refined than it's Prahran sibling. It's on the same Rathdowne Street block as hatted Bar Bellamy, and is more restaurant than bar, homing in on sustainably sourced seafood.
Seafood comes via Sydney-based supplier Andrew Joseph, also known as The Afishonado. Driven by what's available, the menu shapeshifts day to day – and isn't posted online. There are some constants, though. Always expect pasta, like a bouillabaisse-inspired Moreton Bay bug casarecce; a 'hectic, KFC-looking' fish burger (only served at lunch Wednesday and Thursday) akin to the fried-chicken sandwich at Don's; and a hibachi-grilled whole fish.
Beyond that, Norris keeps it 'playful'. You might find octopus and merguez sausage skewers or coral trout with apricot beurre blanc. Cordelia's 'Happy Meal' is either an oyster, scallop or frites with a mini cocktail for $20; another Wednesday and Thursday special, it's on from 3pm to 5pm.

Fashion retailer to close flagship stores, citing sales pressure
Iconic fashion retailer Country Road will close down stores across Sydney as slowing sales force its South African owners to scale back its retail front. The business's landmark store in central Sydney's Queen Victoria Building will be shut down as the company looks to lower costs. It will also close its sister brand Trenery in Sydney's affluent Mosman, while its Pitt Street Mall store will close in 2028 when the lease expires. Country Road's South African owners Woolworths previously announced weak sales coming from the Australian brand. Sales plummeted by 6.2 per cent in the first half of the 2024-25 financial year and a further 8 per cent in the 26 weeks to December 29 as operating profits dropped 71.7 per cent to just $14.2m. Country Road was founded in 1974, starting out as a smart-casual men's, women's and children's clothing store while also dabbling in homewares and accessories. It grew out into an Australian lifestyle brand known for high-quality apparel, accessories and homewares and became the first major Australian brand to move into the US. In 2014, Country Road and Trenery were bought by South African brand Woolworths. Country Road's recent falls are in line with the collapse of dozens of retailers. Retail giant Mosaic Brands – owner of Millers, Rivers, Crossroads, Katies, Noni B and Autograph – collapsed into voluntary administration in October 2024. In a notice to creditors delivered in February, Mosaic's total debt was tallied at more than $318m. Iconic retailer Jeanswest also said it was hit by a 'perfect storm' of factors as it closed its stores in March, with 600 workers out of a job. CreditorWatch's latest insolvency data shows tax cuts and interest-rate relief is slowly passing through to businesses' bottom line. CreditorWatch's May data shows an easing in two key measures of business stress, insolvencies and B2B payment defaults, suggesting the July 2024 tax cuts, recent interest-rate reductions, slower inflation and fiscal support measures are beginning to alleviate some pressures on Australian businesses. CreditorWatch chief executive Patrick Coghlan said the May data on defaults and insolvencies was encouraging but some sectors remained under pressure. 'This levelling off of insolvencies has been long awaited and is very welcome but we need to remember that several industries still face significant challenges, particularly those exposed to discretionary spending,' he said. 'Post-Covid, we've seen inflation hit 30-year highs. 'Those rapid price increases across the economy don't reverse when the inflation rate comes down again – the higher prices are locked in and remain as permanent pressures for businesses.'

$108k drop: Where home values declined across Australia
Nearly 200 Aussie suburbs recorded a drop in home values over the past three months, including two where home values plunged by over $100,000. The latest PropTrack June Quarterly Home Values Index shows that 192 of Australia's 3762 house suburbs dropped in value, while 168 of the nation's 1888 unit markets also declined. Units in Lalor Park in the Sydney-Blacktown region was the worst performing market in the last quarter, declining by 17 per cent in the three months to June, or $104,066. The median unit price there is now $514,808. It was followed by Fairfield East (Sydney-Parramatta), where unit values plunged 9 per cent to $596,272 and Lisarow on the NSW central Coast, where unit values fell 8 per cent. Rounding out the top 10 worst performing units markets were Pelican Waters (Qld), Melrose Park (SA), Broadwater (WA), Wyoming (NSW), Huntingdale (Vic), Tregear (NSW) and Ocean Grove (Vic). Each suburb recorded declines of 5 per cent to 6 per cent in the past three months. Over the year, the worst performing market was Banksmeadow in NSW, where unit values plunged by 28 per cent. Lalor Park came in second, followed by Terrigal (NSW), Claremont (WA), Cottesloe (WA), Fairfield East (NSW), Telopea (NSW) South Granville (NSW), Yennora (NSW), Jordan Springs (NSW), Crace (ACT) Jindabyne (NSW) Red Hill (ACT) Huntingdale (Vic) and Rippinlea (Vic). Those suburbs recorded annual falls north of 10 per cent. But while NSW dominated the top worst performing suburbs for units over the quarter, other suburbs made up for the losses elsewhere. Units in Ashcroft, Wahroonga, Belrose, Cartwright and Sadlier all jumped by 10 per cent or more in just three months, as affordable pockets under Sydney's lofty median price of $1.182m captured buyers. REA Group Senior Economist Anne Flaherty said the double digit increases were an 'enormous' jump for such a short period of time. 'That is absolutely out of the ordinary,' she said. 'Particularly we are seeing that those suburbs that are relatively more affordable are attracting a high level of competition. 'The reality is because the median price of a home in greater Sydney is so high, for a lot of people that are looking for a middle ring suburban Sydney home, it's just not even a possibility.' Meanwhile, the worst performing house market was Point Lookout in Queensland, where home values fell 6 per cent, or $108,173, to $1,768,325. It was followed by Quindalup (WA) and Lorne (Vic) where house values declined by 5 per cent. That represents a drop in values of $93,124 and $97,061 respectively. Seven suburbs recorded a decline of 4 per cent - Hyde Park (SA), Jamberoo (NSW), Apollo Bay (Vic), Berrimah (NT), Nar Nar Goon North (Vic), Byron Bay (NSW) and Cardigan (Vic). But over the year, the biggest drop in house values was recorded in Nar Nar Goon North (Vic), Blairgowrie (Vic), Jilliby (NSW) and Rye (Victoria). House values in those suburbs declined by 10 per cent, the data shows. They were followed by celeb haven Byron Bay in NSW and Bangholme in Victoria, where values fell by 9 per cent in the 12 months to June. Falls of 8 per cent were recorded in Lorne (Vic) and Shoalhaven Heads (NSW). Eleven suburbs recorded annual declines of 7 per cent including seven in Victoria (Venus Bay, Sorrento, Fingal, Tootgarook, Ballarat Central, Soldies Hill, Lake Wendouree and Eden Park). Also making that list were Suffolk Park (NSW), Margate (Tas) and Craiglie (Qld). On the flip side, Australia is now home to 1418 house suburbs with a median value over $1 million. That means that 107 Aussie suburbs have joined the $1 million-plus club in the past three months alone. Top of the list is Bellevue Hill in Sydney, where the median house price is now $9,844,492, followed by Vaucluse with $8,983,846. With a median house price of $4,500,128, Toorak in Victoria's most expensive suburb, while Cotteslow is Western Australia's richest suburb with a median house value of $3,442,198. Queensland's most expensive suburb is Chandler ($3,149,155) and St Peters in Adelaide is South Australia's richest suburb with a median house value of $2,226,612. Brisbane median home price recently surpassed the $1 million mark for the first time, finishing the month of June at $1.015 million – an increase of $74,800. It is now Australia's second most expensive capital city after Sydney. Ms Flaherty said that it was inevitable that more Queensland suburbs would enter the $1 million-plus club. There are currently 54 Queensland suburbs with median house values north of $950,000.
