Moruya River. This week has seen the river clean up drama cally as we haven’t had any significant falls of rain to dirty up the system, this will most probably change with the rainfall due to hits us over the next 4-5 days. Towards the front of the system, there have been good numbers of salmon, tailor and flathead from the airport flats all the way up past the quarry wharf. If you are fishing around Preddy’s wharf and the hole in the wall, don’t forget to take pics of the signs that are posted on the hole and report them to NSW Waterways. These signs should not be there, and Waterways seem to be dragging their heels on removing them. Under the town bridge there have been a few nice flathead on the flats in the middle of the river as well as the odd bream. Live nippers are always a good op on here as are so plas cs cast from the bridge itself. With the inclement weather already star ng to set in today, we can expect that the river will dirty up by the weekend, so the wet weather mantra will kick in yet again! Fish low, fish deep! Bo om parts of the systems, and the deeper holes. Tuross River. There have been good fish taken throughout the Tuross system this week as a result of the minimal rainfall we have experienced. Good numbers of flathead, bream and the odd mulloway have been taken all through the extensive system that is Tuross. But, with the already falling rain, and what is predicted this weekend into early next week, we can expect the gains in water clarity to be lost to the dirty water expected to push down the system. Fish the lower sec ons of the river, targe ng the deeper holes. The water temp offshore is star ng to push up towards the 20 deg mark, making the incoming des a be er op on to fish. Oily baits will be the best solu on to the dirty water, as will lures with noise making poten al. Rock and beach. With the predicted push of dirty water to come as result of this weekends rain, the beaches and breakwalls close to the ou lows should be holding a few predatory fish this weekend. Salmon, tailor, the odd mulloway and the possibility of the odd shark working the dirty water edges can bring the beach and rock fishing up a notch. With the warmer currents pushing down the coast, we can expect to start seeing a few nice bream and whi ng turning up in the gu ers close to shore. Get yourself some live nippers or live or frozen worms, and fish light in close to find a few nice fish. Keep an eye on the swell this weekend, as Saturday looks to be pushing the 4m mark, before dropping on Sunday then increasing Monday. Drummer become a real temp ng op on with a bit of a s r up, just make sure the rock pla orm you intend to fish, is safe to do so. Offshore. Reports from the snapper and flathead guys have been a bit on the light side this week, and I can’t see too many boaters pushing out into 4m swells this weekend and strong winds. If you plan on going out, make sure the bar you intend to cross is are to do so. Water temps are star ng to warm up, so we will start to see species that like a warmer water start to bite more o en. We can expect the flathead off shore to start to increase in numbers, as well as a few kingfish chasing baits on the new reef just offshore. If the weather is a deciding factor on going or not going out this weekend, come and pay us a visit in store, and check out the new product that is slowly building up. As I am typing this the new Real Baitz from Atomic have literally just been delivered. Keep an eye on our socials, or come in and have look at them yourselves this weekend. Stay safe everyone and remember, “everyday’s a good day for fishing…” Team Tackle world Moruya.

South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1119: NSW Shared Equity Scheme

The NSW Government has introduced legisla on for its Shared Equity Scheme for first home buyers who are “key workers”, single parents and the over 50s. In the government’s press release they said that teachers, nurses, police officers, single parents and older singles are one step closer to owning their first home faster with legisla on for the NSW Government’s $780.4 million shared equity scheme now introduced to Parliament. The introduc on of the shared equity legisla on coincides with the First Home Buyer Choice legisla on which will give first home buyers the choice between paying a large upfront stamp duty and a smaller annual property fee, shaving two years off the me needed to save for a deposit. Premier Dominic Perro et said under the shared equity scheme, the NSW Government would contribute an equity share up to 40 per cent for a new home or up to 30 per cent for an exis ng home purchased by eligible buyers. “Key workers, single parents and older singles will be able to have the security of home ownership with a lower upfront deposit, a smaller loan, lower repayments, no lenders mortgage insurance and no interest on the Government’s equity share in a property.” Treasurer Ma Kean said many older Australians struggle to find stable housing, with 37 per cent of individuals over 65 who are not homeowners relying on social or community housing. “We know that housing security is an especially serious issue for older, vulnerable women,” Mr Kean said. The key points under the scheme which is due to commence in early 2023 are:  Up to 3,000 spots will be available each year for two years;  Key worker first home buyers who are nurses, teachers or police officers – as well as singles over 50 years old and single parents with a child or children under 18 years old can apply;  Par cipants must have a maximum gross income of $90,000 for singles and $120,000 for couples;  Par cipants must have a minimum deposit of 2 per cent of the purchase price;  The Government will make a maximum equity contribu on of 40 per cent for a new home and 30 per cent for an established home, and  The maximum value of the property that can be purchased under the scheme is $950,000 in Sydney and regional centres including the Central Coast, Illawarra, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the North Coast of NSW, and $600,000 in other parts of NSW  All purchasing and selling costs (including stamp duty) are the responsibility of the par cipant (though assistance with stamp duty may be available through other programs)  Annual review: Each year following the property purchase, scheme par cipants will be required to complete an annual review and provide suppor ng informa on to ensure their con nued eligibility for the shared equity scheme.  Maintenance and improvement of property: Par cipants are required to maintain their property and keep things in good working order. The Government must approve certain modifica ons or renova ons so that the value of these changes can be factored into the eventual sale price of the property.  Responsibility for property costs: Property costs such as council rates, body corporate fees, water and home loan repayments are the responsibility of the par cipant.
