This week...

Language is such a powerful thing. For example, consider the difference between the three terms – feral horses, wild horses, and brumbies – to describe the same introduced species in the Australian High Country. Different words elicit very different responses in us.

So, last week when Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk dubbed the ACT a COVID “hotspot” as she closed the Sunshine State’s borders to mainland Southerners, it was vexing. Applying the term to a jurisdiction that has had no new cases of COVID-19 in several weeks causes confusion and dilutes the meaning of the word. Until then, I had understood a hotspot to be a (somewhat scary) place where active cases were present. The danger is that careless or imprecise use of specific terms in a pandemic can lead to anger, bewilderment or complacency, muddling important health messages that require clarity.

Plus, a long-awaited tropical holiday had to be cancelled, so I’m especially miffed because, at the time of writing, Queensland (which had had 1 new case and 11 active cases on 11 August) was more of a hotspot than the ACT. Still, I’m happy and healthy here in the Canberra bubble.

Reasons to be grateful this past week include sunshine after soaking winter rains, emergency service personnel and volunteers for protecting the community, cauliflower and lentil curry, and cosy throw rugs. Take care, dear readers.

Dr Jodi Matic and Dr Keisuke Horikawa from the John Curtin School of Medical Research at ANU are investigating the role of a specific feature of Burkitt lymphoma cells, in the hopes that their findings could contribute to a less aggressive or more targeted treatment of the disease. Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

Daffodil Day raises hope for a cancer-free future Students at Alfred Deakin High School (including our cover stars), are gearing up for Daffodil Day (Friday 28 August) where they will be working hard to raise money for Cancer Council ACT. After a successful fundraiser in 2019, selling over 200 cupcakes, the ADVANCE (Alfred Deakin Values, Advertising, News and Current Events) student leadership group will be aiming higher this year with

another cupcake sale, the entire school dressed in yellow (or florals), and a ‘mini festival’.

“Looking at last year and the amount of money that we raised … we were all over the moon at how much we ended up getting,” says Alex Scott, classroom teacher and ADVANCE coordinator at Alfred Deakin.

“We haven’t got a target in mind this year, but I know the student body is behind it.

“It’s pretty mind blowing that these young people are so super involved and is really impressive to me that they’re getting behind such an important fundraiser that probably affects a huge number of the population.”

Cancer Council ACT CEO Sandra Turner says it’s “really pleasing to see young people so dedicated to helping organisations like Cancer Council ACT to raise funds to help support research for cancer.”

“It’s wonderful to see such a sense of responsibility and care that they have to want to help people to be able to live better lives.”

The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for people affected by cancer, and money raised through the Daffodil Day Appeal goes towards funding vital research.

Ms Turner says the funding provided by Cancer Council ACT allows local researchers to look at specific areas of cancer, with the hope of improving treatments or finding a cure.

One such local researcher is Dr Keisuke Horikawa from the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the ANU, who received the Cancer Council ACT 2019-20 research grant to support his work in investigating Burkitt lymphoma – a form of non-

Hodgkin lymphoma.

Dr Horikawa is looking at the role of MYB, a specific feature of the cancer cells thought to be involved in their growth and survival, with hopes the research could lead to more targeted and less aggressive treatments.

Ms Turner says Daffodil Day will look slightly different this year due to COVID-19; you won’t be seeing volunteers selling daffodils in shopping centres around the region. Instead, the community is encouraged to send a ‘virtual daffodil’ or ‘go yellow for hope’ and host a yellow-themed fundraiser, either in person or online, anytime during August. Cancer Council ACT has also partnered with All Bids for a silent online auction with items donated by local organisations.

“Daffodil Day is very different this year to what it normally is,” Ms Turner says. “We know that cancer doesn’t stop, so we’ve got to look at doing things in different ways.”

Face masks a challenge for deaf community The deaf and hard of hearing community is reminding Canberrans to be patient when communicating, as the recommendation to wear face masks in public adds an extra challenge to their everyday life.

DeafACT board member, Jacob Clarke, communicates in Auslan but said social cues such as body language and lip reading are a large part of his interactions.

“Facial expressions are vital to communicate and understand each other because they contribute to how we all feel and express ourselves depending on the context,” he said.

“With face masks, these are covered and it’s proven difficult to 8

canberraweekly.com.au

understand what they are trying to say without these expressions.

“This can increase their anxiety on how they approach and communicate with (the community).”

While wearing face masks is not yet mandatory in the ACT, businesses including Woolworths and Bunnings have recommended customers wear them whilst in their stores.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr has also previously stated that Territory residents may be required to wear face masks if cases of COVID-19 return to the Territory or the surrounding regions.

Mr Clarke has advised the wider community to keep the following

tips in mind when communicating with the deaf and hard of hearing community during this time: be patient; listen when deaf people advise you how they would like to communicate; wear a clear face shield; if they use their device to communicate, use yours to respond; use paper and pen while maintaining social distance; you can remove mask to communicate where necessary as long 1.5m is maintained; use speech apps such as Google live transcribe (android), Otter (iOS); and use visual cues such as gesturing and pointing (body language).

According to Mr Clarke, there have been some additional challenges for the deaf and hard of

hearing community lately, including receiving medical advice and treatment.

“Some deaf people have had bad experiences when trying to communicate with nurses and doctors in full PPE kits at the COVID-19 testing clinics,” he said.

“This sort of situation can cause panic or anxiety attacks … I was tested for COVID-19 at EPIC a few months ago and I was fortunate enough to be accommodated. They were able to take the mask off and maintain social distancing, and they even used hand gestures which were easy to understand.”

news Canberra Airport to close on Saturdays The Canberra Airport is urging National Cabinet to implement a contingency plan within the domestic aviation industry to address its current “state of disaster”.

The call comes after Canberra Airport’s announcement on Monday 10 August that it would no longer operate on Saturdays from 22 August to avoid further job losses and redundancies within the business.

Canberra Airport managing director, Stephen Byron, said the domestic aviation industry had been the hardest hit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Without dismissing the mental health challenge Victoria is facing at the moment, at least there is a plan of six weeks’ hard lockdown to then come back,” he said.

“There is no plan for aviation. What’s the plan for three months or six months? That’s why we are in a state of disaster.”

Canberra Airport’s decision is a result of only two to three flights operating on a Saturday. They will continue to monitor the situation for possible further closures.

Mr Byron said the decision had been made to

avoid any further jobs cuts within the industry, as Qantas previously announced up to 6,000 job losses nationally at the end of June.

“In reality, this closure is to save and preserve jobs before we can have that restart that other businesses have had,” he said. “This won’t cause any instant job losses because it should preserve and protect against redundancy.

“Virgin and Qantas have parked up to 90% of their planes and this is our equivalent to parking the airport.”

Mr Byron said without a contingency plan from National Cabinet, Australians were unable to make any travel plans as far as Christmas.

“The problem is there is no outlook to see domestic aviation even open by Christmas,” he said.

“As an industry, we are in more of a lockdown than Victoria. We need a national incremental plan that is going to follow the health advice and we need it so we can fly by Christmas.”

The airport is still operating daily flights to Sydney and Brisbane, and three flights per week to Ballina-Byron Bay. It was announced on 10 August that the

Ballina-Byron service would be extended for a further eight weeks based on demand.

Canberra Airport head of aviation, Michael Thomson, welcomed the good news during the dire time.

“Many Canberrans have escaped the Canberra chill and enjoyed a break in the BallinaByron region and, vice versa, it’s been a great opportunity for visitors to fly to Canberra and enjoy all the great experiences Canberra and our region has on offer,” he said.

“A further eight weeks gives Canberrans the opportunity to escape to the sunny far north NSW coast now or for the next school holidays, with the service being extended until 23 October.”

There are currently no active COVID-19 cases in the Ballina region, with two active cases confirmed in Byron Bay on 25 July, both of whom had travelled from Sydney and are self-isolating.

The ACT remains COVID-free.

news Hospital expansion contractor confirmed, construction to start in 2021 The ACT Government has today (Tuesday 11 August) announced the next step in the expansion of Canberra Hospital, naming global construction company Multiplex as the early contractor involvement partner.

The company was named as a shortlisted applicant alongside Lendlease earlier this year, to undertake the new emergency, surgical and critical healthcare building as part of the Canberra Hospital Expansion (CHE).

ACT Health Minister Rachel StephenSmith said this crucial step meant the project remained on its timeline for a 2024 completion of the SPIRE project.

“We have been busy preparing the hospital campus over the past 12 months to pave the way for works on a new emergency and critical care facility to start next year,” she said.

“We have already opened a new building for administration of the hospital and works are well underway on a new building eight to house the sexual health centre.”

The CHE will include 60 ICU beds, four of which will be paediatric ICU beds, 22 operating theatres, 55 day surgery beds and an additional 39 emergency department treatment spaces.

The ACT Government has committed $500 million to the project, which was originally set to start construction this year.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the major infrastructure project, which would create about 500 jobs during the construction phase, had been through a detailed consultation period with the public.

“This is one of those exercises where we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t.

If we hadn’t engaged with the community, if we hadn’t sought to alter designs to reflect the issues that were raised, we would be accused of ramming something through and not listening,” he said.

“Instead we listen, we consult, we adjust, and we adapt and instead the question is that we aren’t delivering the project fast enough.”

Multiplex has been named as the early contractor involvement partner for the new emergency, surgical and critical healthcare building as part of the Canberra Hospital expansion.

One concern raised for the construction process is availability of parking at Canberra Hospital for staff and visitors, which Ms StephenSmith said they had planned for carefully.

“Parking is always an issue at Canberra Hospital as it is for many hospitals around the country. We have, of course, just released the request for tender for the development of the new temporary carpark at the former CIT site in Woden,” she said.

“That will deliver 1,100 staff parking spaces and also enables some work for parking during the construction phase for the CHE so where people need to stage those construction vehicles, that will also be able to occur on that site.”

news Acton waterfront makeover detailed in new Place Plan A ferry service, fine dining, a major playground, swimming beach, an over 40,000 square metre lakeside public park and a boardwalk extending from Henry Rolland Park to the National Museum of Australia, are outlined in the City Renewal Authority’s (CRA) Acton Waterfront Place Plan.

Released on 11 August, the plan outlines how the West Basin waterfront’s public spaces will be developed and will influence designs for future stages of work undertaken in the next three to four years.

Four ‘key’ destinations along the Acton Waterfront are outlined: the existing Henry Rolland Park; The Heart (to be built where Acton Park is currently), which will be the “intergenerational” focal point of the waterfront featuring green space, the major playground, foreshore dining, event space, and more; Cultural Landscape (the western foreshore

between the National Museum and Edinburgh Avenue), which will feature a swimming beach, kayak launching ramp, a small-scale natural play area and more; and Streets and Lanes, which comprises the street network connecting and running through the “sociable, activated and green” precinct.

CRA chief executive Malcolm Snow said the Place Plan puts forward an “unmatched opportunity to give Canberra safe and attractive connections between its city centre and the lake”.

With Parkes Way dividing the Acton Waterfront from the City, the Place Plan outlines a number of ways in which the lake will be made more accessible.

Light rail stage 2A, which will extend the service from Civic to Commonwealth Park and is due to be operational by

2024, will drive foot traffic there.

Further works include a “legible network of streets, cycle paths and pedestrian paths [that] enhances connectivity and accessibility to the lake from the city”. This will include a direct cycle connection to Marcus Clarke Street, a pedestrian and cycle connection to New Acton via a shared path bridge over Parkes Way, and a ferry connection to the National Museum.

“The creation of an attractive and accessible new public space at the Acton Waterfront is critical to addressing the missing connections between the city centre, the lake and the national institutions on the Acton Peninsula,” said director of the National Museum of Australia, Dr Mathew Trinca AM. The Place Plan was informed by almost two decades of planning and consultations as well as a new

community engagement process.

The next stage of the Acton Waterfront boardwalk, due to commence this year and take two years to complete, will add an additional 500 metres and two new public jetties.

Beyond the work outlined in the Place Plan, further stages will include low-rise, mixed use precinct of small-scale commercial, cultural and residential buildings, built in accordance with National Capital Plan requirements.

In a statement issued on 11 August, the Lake Burley Griffin Guardians were critical of the fact the Place Plan “does not show how much of our existing park is to be taken by apartments”.

“It can be assumed the apartments are still to fill up Acton Park and block vistas across the lake,” they said.

Dennis and Carol McGrath accept supplies from Caroline Odgers (left) from GIVIT to help run BlazeAid Braidwood.

BlazeAid Braidwood getting the job done Under the leadership of Dennis and Carol McGrath, Braidwood BlazeAid has rebuilt 167km of fencing for bushfire affected farmers in Braidwood.

They’ve done so with the help of 405 volunteers who have lived together at the Braidwood

Showgrounds where they’ve prepared and eaten 20,000 meals since the camp was established on 3 January.

The past 12 months have decimated Braidwood’s farming and tourism industries – the extended drought led to devastating bushfires, followed by floods and now coronavirus.

As the nation’s focus drifts away from the devastation of last summer’s bushfires, Braidwood continues to rebuild – with the help of BlazeAid. The charity began in Victoria in 2009 when a group of local farmers helped each other rebuild farming infrastructure after the Black Saturday fires.

It has now grown to embrace thousands of volunteers living in camps around the country, rebuilding communities affected by bushfires, floods and cyclones.

Despite the trauma of the constant threats faced by the Braidwood community, they found the time to welcome Dennis and Carol and support BlazeAid. “The community has been wonderful,” Carol said. “We haven’t had to buy water until the last two weeks.”

As much as the town supports BlazeAid, BlazeAid also supports the town; the charity has spent nearly $400,000 locally.

Fencing materials are sourced

locally where possible and the camp spends around $1,000 a week at both the IGA and the butcher.

“And the grog shop gets a big donation,” Carol smiled.

The latest statistics from the camp are broadcast on community radio during Dennis’ regular appearance.

“People hang out to hear the BlazeAid stats,” Carol said.

Not even COVID has stopped the Braidwood crew, who have formed a close bond since the restrictions forced them to spend even more time together.

In a fortunate marrying of needs, there are 14 displaced international travellers volunteering at the camp.

As they rebuild part of Australia’s infrastructure, their food and accommodation are taken care of and, after 88 days, they will qualify for a visa extension.

The Canberra Raiders went down to the Penrith Panthers, 28-12, in their Round 13 match over the weekend. The match looked won at half time when the Panthers led 24-0. The Green Machine showed their spirit in the second half as Nicoll-Klokstad scored a double for the team, both converted by Croker. The loss means the Canberra side missed their chance to move into the top four, still sitting in fifth place on the ladder.

The Raiders will compete for a home win in Round 14 at GIO Stadium Canberra against the Brisbane Broncos this Saturday 15 August 7.35pm.

Brumbies’ winning streak ends Previously unbeaten Super Rugby AU team, the Plus500 Brumbies lost to the Melbourne Rebels, 30-7, on Friday night at Leichhardt Oval, NSW. The Brumbies have a bye in Round 7 and will be back at GIO Stadium Canberra on 22 August to face the NSW Waratahs.

Plan early for your retirement Many people leave retirement decisions, such as where to live when downsizing or seeking a new beginning, until too late, when their opportunity to fully enjoy retirement and the spirit of community living is diminished.

It’s far better to plan early while the best financial and personal decisions can still be made.

When it comes to planning for a retirement home, the newly released Invest+Retire™ package at Summerfield seems to tick all the boxes. Summerfield is a thriving over-55s, affordable, luxury estate at the vibrant community-spirited Braidwood, between Canberra and Batemans Bay. The new package has hit on a formula that enables clients to be strategic and proactive in making financial and personal plans

about where to live in retirement.

So what is Invest+Retire™ all about? It really is very simple.

Identify where you want to live and a property in an over-55s freehold estate and purchase as an investment property. Check value and amenity. Look at rentability and if there are any rental underwrites or guarantees. Take advantage of tax depreciation benefits in your own personal circumstances or in your Self Managed Super Fund.

With interest rates at an alltime low, there’s no better time to set up your financial future while you’re still working, for your future work slow-down or retirement.

Fantastic lock-in rates over five years can now be achieved which could set you up well for the future.

Importantly, you need to consider

the impediments imposed by the banking sector for those who are over 65, or who only have a relatively low income, to borrow. It is important to set this up while you are still working with a reasonable income.

Flexibility to sell your home when you want to optimise value is important. For many, their home is their major asset so when selling it to downsize or move to an over-55s estate, it’s vital this can be done at the most opportune time and not in a rush. Invest+Retire™ allows that as you have identified and purchased your retirement home and it is earning an income.

A real advantage of freehold such as at Summerfield is that you can sell your property at any time and keep all the capital growth.

There is no exit fees or lock in.

A key facet of Summerfield is that a rental underwrite, which establishes a base rent plus you keep whatever excess is received, or a rental guarantee is available.

This provides you with peace of mind that your investment property is earning at all times. Summerfield is constantly looking for approved people to rent and establishing a database of all prospects. There are many over-55s who would love to rent at Summerfield for a short or long period and enjoy the clean, crisp, country air and wonderful community spirit. All in all, the Summerfield Invest+Retire™ package looks like a real winner.

Coconut choc mousse 400ml can coconut cream 2–3 Tbsp inulin powder 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder, sifted 2 Tbsp grated vegan chocolate (optional) Leave the can of coconut cream undisturbed in the fridge overnight.

The next day, without shaking the can, carefully open it. Using a tablespoon, extract the solid cream at the top of the can without disturbing the watery liquid at the bottom. Remove as much as you can, putting the collected cream into a mixing bowl.

Sprinkle over the inulin powder and, using an electric whisk, whisk for 2 minutes or until thick and creamy.

Sprinkle over half the cacao powder and whisk into the mixture. Taste for flavour, adding more cacao or a bit more inulin powder if you desire a richer, more chocolatey taste.

To serve, spoon into glasses and sprinkle with sugar-free grated chocolate (if using).

Book talk Jeff Popple reviews the latest excellent novel by John Connolly. More of Jeff’s reviews can be found on his blog: murdermayhemandlongdogs.com After several delays due to COVID-19, John Connolly’s The Dirty South is finally being released. Set back in 1997, it is a prequel to Connolly’s highly successful series about private eye Charlie Parker and, unlike the other books in the series, it does not feature any supernatural overtones.

The Dirty South opens with the traumatised former New York police detective in a small, rundown town in Arkansas hunting down a lead

on the killer who recently brutally murdered his wife and child. Someone has been slaughtering young black women in Burdon County, although no one wants to admit that it is happening, and Parker thinks that there might be a link to the slaying of his family. He quickly realises that there is no connection and, after a night in jail, he is happy to leave the town, until he is persuaded by the desperate local sheriff to stay and help with the investigation there. A decision

CSO continues online Australian Miniseries this month

Unhinged (MA15+) Tom Cooper (Russell Crowe) parks his silver 4WD and enters a home at night, setting it on fire. After a montage showing the stresses of everyday American life, struggling Rachel (Caren Pistorius) runs late getting her 15-yearold son to school. After being fired for missing her appointment due to a traffic jam, Rachel angrily honks at an idle, silver 4WD. Unhinged is a morality play, tapping into the modern zeitgeist of high tension and selfishness. Like William Foster in Falling Down, Cooper is a man beyond the edge.

Whereas Foster’s frustration is born out of his disillusion with American life, Cooper’s is pure rage. Having seemingly lost everything, Cooper is content to burn the world around him to go down in its flames. Rachel must elude Cooper’s murderous 4WD on highways, urban roads and side alleys; the car carnage spliced brilliantly by Ford vs Ferrari’s editor.

Screenwriter Carl Ellsworth extends his concept by using his Red Eye script, with Cooper using Rachel’s mobile to endanger her and her family’s lives. Cooper has little backstory, allowing the audience to subjectively fill in the gaps that have led him to become a powder keg representative of modern-day frustrations. It is a pity then that Unhinged is happy to stick with its B-movie murder24

which will have violent repercussions for a lot of people.

This is a big, beautifully written novel that keenly held my attention from the beginning to the surprising conclusion. Connolly’s mastery of language is only matched by a handful of other crime writers and he can vividly capture a scene and describe a setting with a few telling phases.

As always, the breadth and intricacy of his plotting is superb, and the book moves through several good twists and turns before arriving at the suspenseful climax.

The characterisations are rich and fulsome and there is a rich tapestry of ideas and detail in The Dirty South. None of these elements, however, slow the book’s pace or stop it from being a very exciting read.

Along with Michael Robotham’s When She Was Good, this is one of my favourite reads of 2020. Its release may have been very delayed, but the wait has been worth it. Highly recommended.

Russell Crowe stars in Unhinged (MA15+).

mayhem trappings instead of poking a little deeper into the themes that set it up in the first place, especially with Oscar-winning Crowe at the wheel.

Verdict: An excellent cinematic ride let down by its lack of thematic ambition. 3 stars.

Can you boost your immune system?

Given we’re currently living under a cloud of a global pandemic, it’s not surprising that we’re seeing a debate about ways to boost your immune system, or whether you even can.

Some even completely reject the notion that boosting the immune system is possible or even desirable given that in reality a ‘hyped up’ immune system is not sustainable.

Consider that how you feel when you have a cold is a taste of what it’s like to have your immune response in full flight – sinuses streaming, sneezing, aches, and so on. Obviously, it’s not

how we want to feel from day to day.

But really, it’s just semantics.

What you’re actually aiming to do is to optimise your immune function or, to put it differently, rather than trying to boost it, the aim is to remove any obstacles to your immune system responding effectively. We are constantly exposed to pathogens and an immune system at the top of its game can and does handle them with aplomb. So, what’s important to focus on is removing the things that can act like handbrakes on your immune system.

top of it. In my experience, herbal medicine is excellent in helping to restore quality sleep.

Nutrition If your shopping trolley is packed with fruits and vegies rather than processed foods, chances are you’re doing okay with accessing quality nutrition. Do you need vitamins?

Maybe. You may have one of a few common deficiencies such as zinc or vitamin D, in which case your immune system is compromised. If you want to find out more, ask your GP for a blood test. Also, given the current explosion of understanding around gut health, we’re likely to see more emphasis placed in the future on how we can balance our microbiome in order to optimise immune function.

Sleep Do you sleep soundly and wake up feeling rested? If not, you’re depriving your body of its optimal time for repairing itself. For some it’s as easy as deciding to get to bed earlier. However, if you’re battling with insomnia then it’s worth getting some professional help to get on

Stress If you’re exercising regularly and sleeping well, then you’re likely to be

managing your stress pretty well. If, however, you’re reliant on stimulants like cigarettes and coffee to function through the day and alcohol to wind down at night, then it’s likely you’re steadily running your immune function into the ground.

Keep in mind whatever you do to help your immune system will also have other benefits such as better energy, less aches and pains and clearer thinking.

Editor’s note: Our rotating wellbeing and fitness columns provide advice that is general in nature. Please always refer to your preferred health professional for advice suited to your personal healthcare requirements.

Whether it is due to changing tastes or the changing ages of those inhabiting them, bedrooms will inevitably require updates over time.

Transforming a child’s bedroom is a chance to let your creativity run wild, while working together to create a space your child will love to spend time in. Whether you are starting from scratch or building on an existing space, you want to design a room that will grow with your child.

British Paints product manager, Nick Walsh, shares some tips to personalise a child’s bedroom and ensure it stands the test of time.

Keep your main paint colour simple Creating a base that will stand the test of time is the easiest way to give your child’s newly decorated space longevity. Lighter colours like whites and greys are perfect building blocks for a great bedroom and won’t date over the years.

If your child wants to customise their space, then consider creating a feature wall to inject some fun and personality through colour.

When possible, position your feature wall behind the bed to ensure it catches your eye the minute you walk into the room.

If you have opted for a warm tone colour for the room’s base, use a complementing warm tone for a feature wall to make the room feel balanced.

Ideally, select a colour that you can add touches of throughout the room with accessories.

Photographer Lisa Cohen

Room to grow: children’s bedrooms

home

Choose multipurpose furniture pieces When selecting pieces of furniture to add to your freshly painted room, pick pieces that have multiple purposes and will be well used. For example, a bed with pull-out drawers will not only allow for greater storage space but will also provide a clutter-free space where kids can play.

Bring the space to life with some art Wall stickers and murals may look stylish but they can be difficult to remove after a few years, often pulling off paint or causing cracks.

Instead, bring the space to life with art and posters that you can easily switch in and out to match your child’s interests.

Large poster frames are an ideal and costeffective way to add a personal touch and will allow you to effortlessly change the feel of the room by swapping out old artwork for new, more age-appropriate pieces.

From nurseries to kids’ rooms through to sophisticated teen abodes, bedrooms see a lot of use, so keeping them fresh is crucial. Photo: Dulux Australia. Stylist: Bree Leech.

Be playful with accessories Rugs, cushions and throws are a great way to add pops of colour to a room, while making it feel cosy. Aside from soft furnishings, inexpensive touches like battery-operated fairy lights or glow-in-the-dark stars are an easy way to bring a sense of magic to the room and are guaranteed to have children spending hours in their new space.

Elegant and grand Nicholls 10 Wendy Ey Place This grand residence, backing the fourth hole of the Gold Creek Golf Course, embodies a luxurious yet family-friendly design.

“For the owners, this home was an inspired creation for their younger family and they are now considering downsizing for a new chapter, offering the chance for a fortunate family to create the next one in their family’s story,” says Blackshaw Gungahlin sales executive Luke McAuliffe.

He says “astute buyers” will appreciate this “turn-key dream home with absolutely everything done for them”.

With five bedrooms, two ensuites and two rumpus rooms, the 30

canberraweekly.com.au

573sqm home has been extensively renovated, with an architectdesigned extension, and sits on a 1,132sqm block. The chic, modern kitchen includes a butler’s pantry, stone island bench and four ovens, while the entire lower level boasts under-floor heating, fireplace in the rumpus, and a covered alfresco area that overlooks the stunning in-ground pool and golf course.

Upstairs, five bedrooms and a rumpus provide a palatial space to unwind; both the main bedroom and the second bedroom include ensuites and walk-in robes, with a private balcony off the master.

With too many features to list, this home offers its new owners the

pinnacle of space, light and luxury living, with premium inclusions both inside and out. Most windows in the extension are double-glazed, and the home has an intercom system, Bose in-ceiling speakers and an electrically operated Vergola with rain sensor.

“This is a home of grace, fine design, luxurious proportions, contemporary finishes and innovative inclusions, in the best location,” says McAuliffe.

“From this friendly neighbourhood, it is just a few steps up to nature reserve on the crest of the hill and the garden has access onto the Gold Creek Golf Course,” he says.

“It is within easy reach of Gold Creek primary and high schools, an IGA, Gungahlin Marketplace and nature trails around Gungahlin Pond.”

Weekly market wrap Canberra in a fortunate position Last week I wrote about how our local property market had decoupled itself from the challenges faced by other capital cities nationally. As some jurisdictions tighten restrictions to combat community transmission of COVID-19, the ACT has been moving toward relaxing restrictions after not recording any news cases for over a month. Relaxing of restrictions demonstrates how successful ACT residents have been in managing the pandemic.

Market sentiment can be a key indicator of where values are potentially heading. High auction clearance rates, increasing stock levels and strong sales results indicate both buyers and sellers are comfortable with the short-term outlook and engaging in property transactions.

CoreLogic recently shared research and analysis on each capital city property market nationally, and explained our market conditions: “ACT has seen property value increases of 1.3% since March. While the performance of the ACT market may seem like an anomaly, the ACT dwelling market is one of the few markets performing as may be expected amid the record low cash rate setting.

RBA research has noted that reductions in the cash rate typically increase property values over time, because debt becomes cheaper and purchasing capacity increases.”

Turbo charging cash rate decreases are changes to how borrowers’ serviceability is calculated, exponentially increasing borrowing capacity in this low rate environment. ACT has the highest median household income nationally further increasing potential benefit these changes have on our property market.

Corelogic also shared some interesting insights into the labour market in the ACT: “ABS payroll data shows the number of jobs across the financial and insurance industry in the ACT has actually increased 0.7% since the start of the pandemic”.

“A ‘two tiered’ state of the labour market is highlighted by the fact the ACT accommodation and food services sector has seen the largest rate of decline of the states and territories. This industry is more likely to be comprised of renters, and rental values have fallen half a percent across the ACT since March, with larger falls across the unit sector (-1.0%).

“It is also worth noting that while cumulative price changes show four of the eight capital city markets have not declined in value since March, almost all markets are showing a slowdown in growth rates. This suggests that, as with past downturns, most housing markets will be subject to a downswing phase.”

WITH SAM DODIMEAD, LOCAL PROPERTY PROFESSIONAL AND HOST OF CANBERRA PROPERTY PODCAST

Increasing jobs for workers in finance and insurance provides a larger pool of people on higher incomes with the capacity to own property.

Reported decreases in employment for food services and accommodation sectors means in the short term there may be fewer tenants seeking lower priced properties. However, as trade restrictions relax further over the medium to long term, there will likely be increasing employment of these workers, potentially creating upward pressure on rents at the lower end of the market.

This data further demonstrates our property market has decoupled itself from the challenges faced in other capital cities. A very fortunate position for property owners to be in.

Googong releases large, single-dwelling blocks The NSW township of Googong has released two large residential blocks, each over 15,000sqm in size.

The blocks, lots 902 and 903, come in at 1.597ha and 1.729ha respectively and cannot be subdivided to allow for the development of more than one residence.

“Each lot has a defined and generous building envelope for the main home, and restrictions around structures that can be built outside that,” said Googong’s project director, Malcolm Leslie, “that can accommodate garages, tennis courts, pool, outdoor entertaining areas, etc., that otherwise don’t

rare find

canberraweeklyrealestate.com.au

Steeped in history Bowning NSW 6 Leake Street This address in the NSW village of Bowning boasts the historical Albury House, a four-bedroom home that’s steeped in history, and Mayfield Mews with its two commercial shopfronts with separate café, gift shop and nursery.

“Packed full of history, Albury House circa 1870 is a solid brick home which faces north, and was once owned by Henry Lawson’s aunt and is famously where Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson discussed politics,” says Ray White Rural Canberra/Yass licensed real estate and stock and station agent, George Southwell.

The home includes a family-

friendly floor plan, hardwood timber floors, two fireplaces and four large bedrooms – the master overlooking the well-established garden. Multiple living areas both inside and out provide endless opportunities for family life, while the modern kitchen is the heart of the home.

Mayfield Mews – the original part was built in 1837, with a brick façade added in around 1870 – boasts two commercial spaces, with the nursery and café to the rear. The café and gift shop are offered on a fully equipped basis.

Southwell says there a number of ideal buyers for this unique

find, such as: “a property investor looking for up to four incomes; city dweller looking for an escape to the country; families looking for options; someone looking to run the business and live next door; or an astute investor looking for a property which will have substantial capital growth”.

“Albury House and Mayfield Mews sit in the heart of the thriving village of Bowning, a stone’s throw off the freeway, only two minutes to the Hume Highway, 12 minutes to Yass and 50 minutes to the Nation’s Capital,” he said.

“This is a multi-income affordable opportunity not to be missed. The

owners desire a timely sale over achieving the maximum price due to a change in family and health circumstances.”

Imagine waking up to the sun rising out of the ocean. Morning coffee in hand, wander out onto the back lawn that becomes beach sand in a few paces. Wander to the shore line and let the water lap over your feet and look over out to the toll gates standing proud from the ocean floor.

This property is a perfectly posi�oned beachfront, protected from the southerlies and kissed with northern light.

Summer BBQ’s on the back deck, moonlight swimming through the waves and a myriad of colour from the lights of the Bay. This 4 bedroom home is humble yet filled with heart. A home full of laughter and love. Wet towels and sandy feet.

This is the beach house that everyone wants to own.

This is the beach house buyers have knocked on the door asking if they will sell.

This is the beach house I have always wanted to take to market.

I waited 20 years. Its �me. This is your moment. Full fact sheet available on request.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

If you have any big goals or tasks to do, you will tend to be motivated to work on them by yourself. The New Moon on the 18th sees you keeping up with trends which will help you carve out an ambitious career or personal path.

You are the most emotional sign in the zodiac and with Saturn in Capricorn, you will be feeling a greater sense of self-discipline and more responsible for how you deal with your emotions. The New Moon on the 18th sees a financial or professional undertaking powering ahead.

It’s time to expect the unexpected with friends and loved ones. Your relationships with lovers, family or close friends encourage deeper connection that comes from greater sensitivity and vulnerability. The New Moon on the 18th indicates that changes have to be made and now is the ideal time to launch them.

The New Moon on the 18th is a

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY You finally have clarity about what you really love, value, appreciate and brings you pleasure. It’s been a long haul and has taken every bit of patience, persistence and determination to stay afloat. The 18 August New Moon is the ideal time to buy a new domestic appliance or explore family history.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE As an air sign, digging deep into your partner’s or other people psyche and feeling the intensity of them wanting more from you is not really comfortable for you. The New Moon on the 18th indicates an exciting personal project will surge ahead with the help of a supportive associate.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

Happy Birthday Leo! When it comes to love, generosity of spirit and an open heart, you’re a natural. It’s time to celebrate life especially around 18 August at the Leo New Moon.

A family get together or a visit from someone special may be long overdue.

A bold personal or professional project will inspire you, but it will take diligent efforts to work through the complex practicalities and learn all you can! The New Moon on the 18th is a great time to ask for a raise or to apply for that promotion.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

Relationships may have given you quite a run for your money this year, but your natural optimism and philosophical nature help you see the meaning and purpose in every encounter. The New Moon is the ideal time to explore a new social venue or to have a zoom party.

The New Moon on the 18th falls into the secretive area of your chart. As a result, you may be feeling quietly confident and wanting to take centre stage but now is not the right time to do so. It is permissible though to push ahead with anything creative.

in the stars

positive time for delving into a long-standing mess and sorting it out once and for all. You may also see a ghost or discover that you are able to connect with others on a spiritual level.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB Some timely discussions on the job front will guide you with a complex undertaking or matter. However, be prepared for some awkward requests. The New Moon on the 18th is the perfect time to let your loved ones know just how much they mean to you.

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR The planetary spotlight is on your personal relationships and receiving the rewards for all the hard work that you have invested into them over the past 12 years. The New Moon on the 18th indicates that an unexpected breakthrough with a tricky matter at work is on the cards.
