Traralgon market overview
Traralgon supports a population of around 27,000 and is the largest centre in the Latrobe Valley. Energy generation (transitioning from coal-fired to renewables), Australian Paper, Latrobe Regional Hospital and a growing professional-services sector underpin a steady residential and commercial property market across Gippsland.
Tax Depreciation for Traralgon property investors
An engineering-based TDA depreciation schedule identifies every deductible asset on your Traralgon property under Division 43 Capital Works (the building shell, claimable at 2.5% p.a. for 40 years where construction commenced after 15 September 1987) and Division 40 Plant & Equipment (carpets, blinds, hot water systems, air conditioning, common-property assets, and more).
For residential property acquired after 9 May 2017, the s40-27 second-hand restriction limits Division 40 deductions to first-use assets - we model this explicitly. Capital works (Division 43) remain fully deductible regardless. Commercial property and qualifying short-stay accommodation businesses retain the full Division 40 deduction.
