Ampol Halfway Creek and BP & The Yiros Shop Molendinar are the latest fuel and convenience assets to spark investor interest, offering rare access to blue-chip covenants underpinned by essential infrastructure in high-growth regional markets.
Ampol Halfway Creek (Coffs Harbour)
The first offering is a brand-new, purpose-built truck stop positioned as the only northbound refuelling point across a 200km stretch of Pacific Highway between Coffs Harbour and Ballina. Completed in 2023, this substantial 20,110 sqm landholding includes 15,000 sqm of heavy-duty hardstand, three state-of-the-art 90kL underground fuel tanks, and full truck stop amenities with B-Double capability.
The asset is secured by a 15-year head company net lease to ASX-listed Ampol Limited (ASX:ALD), Australia’s leading integrated energy company with a market capitalisation of $7.22 billion. The lease features attractive fixed 3% annual rent increases with options extending to 2053, and the tenant is responsible for all usual outgoings including land tax, rates, insurance and maintenance.
“Purpose-built truck stops are exceptionally rare in Australia,” commented Stonebridge Executive, Aike Sakeson. “They require separate planning pathways, stricter design standards, and both NSW and Federal approvals when located on national highways. This makes them difficult to deliver and nearly impossible to replicate which translates directly into enduring demand and stronger tenant performance.”
The investment’s value proposition is further enhanced by the $2.2 billion Coffs Harbour Bypass, which will reroute the Pacific Highway away from four existing northbound service stations in Coffs Harbour, effectively eliminating the asset’s nearest competition.
Stonebridge Partner, Michael Collins, added: “This asset represents a rare opportunity to acquire proven fuel infrastructure with exceptional barriers to entry. The combination of Ampol’s institutional covenant, the site’s strategic monopoly position, and the long 15-year lease term with fixed increases provides investors with a defensive income stream backed by Australia’s most critical transport corridor.”

BP & The Yiros Shop Molendinar (Gold Coast)
The second offering is a high-profile fuel and fast-food investment on Nerang Road, a major Gold Coast arterial carrying 36,351+ vehicles daily. The substantial 3,565 sqm corner site boasts 120m dual street frontage with exceptional access and drive-through facilities, seamlessly integrated with a brand-new self-storage development.
The investment features a rare 10-year head company lease to BP Australia Pty Ltd, the Australian subsidiary of global energy giant BP (market capitalisation $135 billion), complemented by a new 10-year lease to The Yiros Shop, a high-performing Greek fast food operator with 15+ locations nationally. Both tenants operate under net lease structures with responsibility for all outgoings.
Located just 3km from the Pacific Motorway (130,610+ vehicles daily) and surrounded by major retailers including ALDI, Drakes, Spotlight, Anaconda and Supercheap Auto, the asset is positioned within one of the Gold Coast’s premier retail precincts, 400m from Ashmore City Shopping Centre.
“BP head company leases are exceptionally uncommon in the Australian market,” noted Stonebridge Senior Executive, James Freemantle. “These rarely offered covenants provide institutional-grade security backed by one of the world’s largest energy companies. Combined with The Yiros Shop’s strong operational track record and the Gold Coast’s explosive growth trajectory, this represents a compelling defensive investment.”
The Gold Coast’s fundamentals are transformative: population is projected to surge 51% to 1.2 million by 2050, supported by a $13.5 billion infrastructure pipeline and preparation for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As Australia’s fastest-growing non-capital city and one of Queensland’s key economic engines, the region offers substantial long-term capital growth potential.
Stonebridge Executive, Harry Curtain, added: “The combination of blue-chip fuel retail covenants, net lease structures, and exposure to one of Australia’s strongest regional growth markets creates a rare opportunity for sophisticated investors. Both assets offer secure, long-term income streams backed by essential infrastructure in defensive sectors.”

Both properties benefit from substantial depreciation advantages due to recent development and refurbishment, with first-year tax deductions potentially offsetting significant portions of rental income subject to purchaser taxation status.
