Those looking to sell property in Rockhampton are likely exploring ways they can add value to their investment and attract interest from potential buyers.

According to Cameron Frazer, general manager of Archicentre, investing in sustainable design features such as solar panels and rainwater tanks could take the value of your property to the next level.
