Australians open to using genetic technology to manage feral cats

New research by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, shows almost 90 per cent of Australians support the development of genetic technologies to protect our native biodiversity against the growing threat of invasive feral cats.

New genetic technologies could help address the rise of invasives through a number of ways, one of which is called gene drive. Gene drive can determine the sex of offspring, reducing the number of animals able to reproduce, and therefore over time driving down populations.

Researchers from CSIRO surveyed more than 3,800 people across Australia to understand public perceptions of using gene drive on feral cats. The research found 86 per cent of people were at least moderately supportive for the local implementation of gene drive technology to manage invasive feral cat species in their local area.

Feral cats kill about 3.2 million mammals, 1.2 million birds, 1.9 million reptiles and 250,000 frogs per day in Australia, most of which are native species. They have been a main driver of 27 animal extinctions in Australia, including the Macquarie parakeet, and are one of the most economically costly invasive species to manage. Invasive plant and animal species are estimated to cost Australia around $25 billion a year, compounding the environmental impacts of extinction and biodiversity loss.

CSIRO scientist and co-author of the report Public perspectives towards using gene drive for invasive species management in Australia, Dr Aditi Mankad, said synthetic biology was a relatively new area of science that like other new areas of science, needed to involve consideration of social risks, benefts and values.

“The results showed respondents were signifcantly more likely to support the use of gene drive technology if there was a perceived problem of invasive species in their local neighbourhood,” Dr Mankad said.

“Eighty-six per cent of participants were moderately to strongly supportive of gene technology to control feral cats in their local area, as opposed to 11 per cent who indicated little or no support.

“Although we are still a long way off this science being implemented, it is important to start the conversations with the public early.”

CSIRO researcher in Environmental and Synthetic Genomics, Dr Owain Edwards, said that Australia was playing a leading role in the global effort to develop gene drive technologies.

“Current methods for managing the control of invasives including baiting, trapping and shooting, which pose many challenges,” Dr Edwards said.

“Feral cats are an ideal candidate for gene drive research given that their reproductive rates are up to three litters a year, which greatly outpaces conventional measures.

“Given the possible use of gene drive technology for other pests, including feral pigs, rabbits and mice, the study is an important step forward in informing policymakers, the public, and the research community about societal views on the development of possible new synthetic biology applications in Australia.”

What is a gene drive? A gene drive is the mechanism by which a specifc genetic trait can be spread through a pest population’s DNA, so that all future generations are more likely to inherit that particular trait.

An example is increasing the likelihood of offspring being a single sex (e.g. males), which would infuence a decline in the population of the target species over time.

Importantly, each gene drive is species specifc and cannot spread to other non target species. No gene drives have been released into the environment yet, with experts estimating the technology is at least a decade away from development in most cases.

Farmers for Climate Action welcome review

Farmers for Climate Action has welcomed the Federal Government’s Independent Review of Australian Carbon Credit Units.

“Farmers for Climate Action had called for this review, and we’re pleased the Government has taken action,” Farmers for Climate Action CEO Dr Fiona Davis said.

“If the carbon market were to crash because the integrity of the credits was crushed and buyers stopped buying, it would be farmers who would be on the chopping block, not bureaucrats. Farmers carry the risk and they deserve integrity and transparency.“ Dr Davis said.

“We’re particularly pleased the Terms of Reference gives the review scope to investigate ‘Any other matters the panel considers relevant to the integrity of ACCUs’. A genuine review will look at the entire system, including the role of the Clean Energy Regulator in overseeing the integrity of Australia’s carbon credits.

“The Terms of Reference appear wellwritten, covering other relevant issues including how the reporting and publication of data could be improved; whether the scheme’s settings ensure good governance, whether certain methods are authentic and meet integrity standards and the extent to which current projects support environmental and biodiversity outcomes as well as the participation of First Nations people.

“Carbon projects can have a very positive impact on agricultural productivity, because planting shelterbelts increases pasture and cattle growth: animals with access to shade and shelter spend less energy warming and cooling themselves, and a shelterbelt carbon crop can provide steady income even during drought.

“We welcome the appointment of former Chief Scientist Professor Ian Chubb as Chair.

“Carbon offsets are a huge opportunity for farmers to diversify into drought-resistant income whilst increasing farm productivity. It’s also important to remember the main game is to reduce carbon emissions at the source to drive deep emissions reductions this decade and protect our farming families.”

Farmers for Climate Action represents 7000 farmers asking for economy wide emissions reduction.

Special permit granted for food-affected beekeepers

Beekeepers in foodaffected areas have been granted special permission for the movement of honeybees and hives as a result of potential fooding as an East Coast low impacts the NSW Government’s response to Varroa mite detections.

NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI), Acting Chief Plant Protection Offcer, Chris Anderson, said a group permit has been issued today allowing the movement of honeybees and hives to a higher location on the same premises but only if that premises is in a food watch area.

The new group permit comes as Varroa mite has been detected at a further four premises today.

“While we are not concerned about Varroa mite spreading through food waters, the concern is that the adverse weather will impact our ability to access some locations where hives are if they are in food-affected areas,” Mr Anderson said.

“Field crews will continue surveillance work in safer locations until the threat passes and we will continue to euthanise the hives and secure them so the risk is taken care off. The actual disposal can happen later.

“The situation is incredibly diffcult as the NSW Government aims to eradicate varroa mite in NSW, while again potentially dealing with devastating foodwaters. ”Flood waters will not create any signifcant increased risk, however we are permitting beekeepers to move honeybees away from food waters so as not to put additional stress on emergency resources at this time.”

If the honeybees and hives cannot be relocated to a safe location within the same premises because the entire premises is at risk of fooding, beekeepers who are in affected areas may move their hives to a higher location but only within the emergency zone that they are currently in.

A beekeeper in a food watch area must not transport honeybees or hives out of or through another emergency zone at any time. After the hives have been moved under this Permit, they cannot be moved back to the original location.

Four additional infested premises have been detected at Somersby, Tamago and Mayfeld East. All infested premises identifed so far are epidemiologically linked to earlier cases, which has resulted in a slightly enlarged emergency zone.

“As the NSW Government is continuing to be assisted by the apiary industry, Local Land Services, NSW Police, Rural Fire Service and the wider community as part of the mammoth effort to arrest the spread of the threat, all people who have acquired honeybees (including queen bees, nucleus hives and hives with honeybees) from within an emergency zone, especially the Newcastle area, are being urged to report them using the form on our website to help ensure business continuity for the bee industry,” Mr Anderson said.

“Community reporting will hopefully help us facilitate and free up the movement of honeybees in the rest of NSW, especially around almond pollination.

In addition, eradication and destruction plans continue to be assessed and evolve, to determine the best way to eradicate the mite.

Unfortunately, it is necessary to euthanise honeybee colonies in the eradication zones and destroy internal hive equipment such as brood and honey frames.

The State Control Centre has completed a risk assessment on options to decontaminate external equipment such as hive boxes, pallets and straps as well as metal ware, so they can be retained by beekeepers.

The response plan has been updated so equipment will only be destroyed when a risk assessment deems it necessary.

On demand services go permanent

All seven of the NSW Government’s remaining On Demand pilot services in rural and regional NSW will be made permanent from 1 July 2022 providing communities with more transport options.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said the announcement was a major win for regional NSW commuters who will have improved connections to transport hubs, shopping centres and other townships.

“We have been trialling the On Demand pilots over the past three years with more than 1.1 million trips taken by customers to date,” Mr Farraway said.

“On Demand means people can access public transport close to home to get them to appointments in a more fexible and convenient way, which is important living in regional areas.

“The NSW Government is securing a brighter future for NSW families by strengthening public transport services ensuring they’re better and closer to home.”

Member for Albury Justin Clancy said he welcomed the news that the Burrumbuttock and Holbrook On Demand services were here to stay.

“The Pilot has been immensely popular in these areas. Since the trial began in 2019, 27,600 trips have been taken by customers,” said Mr Clancy.

“Regional Buses do a wonderful job in running the services, connecting Burrumbuttock, Walla Walla and Jindera to Albury, and Holbrook to Albury and Wagga Wagga.

“It’s great that the NSW Government is continually exploring new and innovative ways to provide public transport options that meet the community’s needs in the region.”

Regional Buses will be upgrading its feet later this year and two new buses will replace the existing On Demand vehicles.

Seven On Demand services will continue in the following locations: • LiveBetter On Demand, in the Far West (run by LiveBetter Services) - Ivanhoe to Hay and Collarenbri to Narrabri • B-ConX On Demand, in the Northern Rivers (run by Northern Rivers Buslines) - Alstonville/ Wollongbar and Chilcotts Grass/Goonellabah to Ballina and Lismore • Woopi Connect On Demand, in the northern beaches of Coffs Harbour (run by Forest CDC) - Zone 1: Woolgoolga, Safety Beach, Mullaway, and, Zone 2: Arrawarra Headland, Arrawarra, Corindi Beach, Red Rock • Flexibus On Demand, in the Sapphire Coast (run by Sapphire Coast Buslines) - Three services: Bega, Merimbula, Pambula, Tura Beach and Eden • Rixons On Demand, in the South Coast to Canberra (run by Rixons Buses) - Between Milton and Tuross Head to Canberra via Batemans Bay • Regional Buses On Demand, in the Riverina region (run by Regional Buses) - Burrumbuttock, Walla Walla, Jindera to Albury • Regional Buses On Demand, in the Riverina region (run by Regional Buses) - Holbrook to Albury, Holbrook to Wagga Wagga, Henty to Albury

Global markets update

ANDREW COX ALMA

In March, MLA’s international market leaders were able to come together face-to-face in Australia for the frst time in over three years.

Key on the agenda was improving consistency and collaboration across our 16 offshore locations, and ultimately for this fnancial year and beyond we will have only four large, global and scalable projects across the whole team.

These include: market access, including the technical and economic access activities MLA conducts; target, which brings together key account and supply chain targeted activities; Aussie Meat Academy, which brings together MLA’s work completed offshore; and country of origin brand building. Lambassador program Lambassador is an excellent example of the benefts of taking a global and scalable approach to the way the MLA international team works.

Starting in Japan in 2015 and spreading to Korea and South-East Asia, Lambassador was recently launched globally in Melbourne. It was launched with 27 food industry professionals from 10 countries who came together to learn more about the Australian red meat and livestock industry, share ideas and build their own food knowledge.

This scale and MLA’s ability to execute across numerous markets is what attracts investment support from the likes of Global Victoria. The launch in Melbourne is just the beginning, MLA now has a global network of passionate advocates for Australian lamb.

Report into social value of saleyards released

The Australian Livestock Markets Association (ALMA) recently released the results of a research project conducted into the social value of saleyards for rural communities.

As the national body for saleyard owners and operators in Australia, ALMA commissioned the report to investigate what the saleyards means to local communities, service providers and stakeholders.

While signifcant research has been conducted into the economic value of saleyards, the social side of sale days and saleyard communities has not been previously explored.

Information for the report was collected on six saleyards, with a total of 152 online surveys and 105 interviews conducted across fve states to inform the research.

Producers, livestock agents, saleyard staff members, transport operators and local or state government representatives were just some of the participants interviewed as part of the project.

According to the report, attending the saleyards is a great way to connect socially, as well as keeping up to date with market trends.

Many survey participants noted they felt socially isolated when they couldn’t attend the saleyards due to COVID-19 restrictions, with this potentially having fow-on effects on personal wellbeing.

The report said saleyards also provide a local ‘hub’ to deliver a range of services, such as mental health and drought support. Additionally, saleyards are also noticeably dedicated to giving back to the local community, with many examples of fundraisers and donations observed.

This research project will be a valuable tool in future government policy and funding direction.

HELP SHAPE HOW FARMERS ACCESS CRUCIAL CLIMATE INFORMATION AND FORECASTS

Producers, the farming community, industry and all areas of Government are invited to participate in an online survey to inform future research to continue to provide timely, easily accessible and reliable climate data by the NSW Government.

NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Leader Climate Applications and Digital Agriculture Dr Anthony Clark said the $4.3 million Enhanced Drought Information System (EDIS) upgrade led by DPI will continue to provide farms with world-leading weather and climate data to inform business and farm management decisions during extreme weather and climatic events.

“Our climate can be very unpredictable, having gone from drought to foods in the space of just 12-months alone,” Dr Clark said.

“We are asking those across primary industries in NSW to provide input via an online survey on what improvements they’d like to see to our state-wide seasonal conditions monitoring and forecasting services.”

Dr Clark said during the last drought, DPI’s EDIS played a key role in providing detailed assessment of seasonal conditions for the State’s $20.9 billion strong primary industries, including an additional 40,000 users sourcing information during the peak of the drought.

“We want input from producers, advisors, policy and decision makers and our crossagency colleagues to continue improving this service,” Dr Clark said.

The EDIS upgrade aims to improve drought science and data quality at a farm and regional level, including providing early detection and forecasting of climate extremes.

Provide your input to the EDIS development survey now via www. dpi.nsw.gov.au/edissurvey, which closes at the end of July, 2022.

Minister for Lands and Water Kevin Anderson said the NSW Government had listened to the concerns of businesses and communities and would now focus on redesigning ineffcient processes.

“We understand how important water is, particularly to regional communities, and we want to make life easier for people as they conduct business in NSW,” Mr Anderson said.

“Farmers want to be out farming, not flling in paperwork.

“That is why I’m so excited to have secured funding in the NSW Budget to improve the water licensing framework and implement better online integration between assessment agencies.

“This will help people know which agency is dealing with their application and who best to contact if there is a problem or for information.

“In the long run this funding will reduce administrative costs and help strengthen the effciency and sustainability of water use across NSW.”

Keys to farming without a farm

As frst-generation producers Tim and Hannah Eyes can attest, running a successful, vertically integrated beef business can been done without owning a single hectare – but it takes a bit of creativity and communication to make it work.

Based on NSW’s Central Coast, Tim and Hannah lease seven properties in the region for their beef business ‘The Food Farm’, producing grass fed and fnished Angus beef that is processed nearby and then sold direct to consumers online as well as through farmer’s markets in Sydney and Gosford.

According to Tim, the idea for the couple’s ‘farm without a farm’ business model all started when Tim was operating a contracting company in the region.

“I used to have a contracting business, managing and consulting for 36 farms, and that’s where I saw there was underutilised land – in our area, we have mass migration out of the city of people who want to live on the land but don’t need or want to farm it,” Tim said.

“With its proximity to Sydney, the highly productive land and the high rainfall of 1.2m/year, the potential was endless to be able to produce for the local market without having to own land.

“It’s all about being able to reach scale by leasing land.”

Rising to the challenge

While invaluable when it comes to scaling the business, relying solely on agistment for the businesses’ livestock does come with its challenges.

“With the high turnover of real estate in the area, it can be daunting not having that certainty,” Tim said.

“The personal relationship with agistees can be very rewarding but managing that relationship can also be one of the challenging parts of leasing for many producers.”

Having agisted land for The Food Farm since 2016, Tim and Hannah have found that being deliberate in their communication with landowners has been the key to their success with agisting land for their herd.

“I think it’s all about having an incredibly open dialogue between the agistee and the agister,” Tom said.

“To facilitate that, it’s really important for communication to be scheduled, so that conversations don’t come and shock you.”

Clear conditions

Setting out clear conditions as part of an agistment agreement – and sticking to those conditions – is also essential to streamlining the management of livestock on agistment.

“It’s all about setting really clear boundaries and expectations,” Tim said.

“You also need to constantly revisit the terms to make sure everyone’s happy.”

“That way, when there’s a problem, everyone at the table’s prepared for it, rather than it being out of the blue.”

Being aware of the temporary nature of agistment and planning accordingly is another crucial step Tim and Hannah take to ensure their business can operate seamlessly.

“Negotiating an exit strategy for both parties is really important – all agreements have come to an end at some point,” Tim said.

“It’s really important for you both to have clear expectations around what the end of the agreement looks like, so it all runs smoothly.”

“With the high turnover of real estate in the area, it can be daunting not having that certainty.”

Farming for the future While the business continues to grow and succeed in its current state, Tim and Hannah do plan to eventually purchase land of their own as they expand the Food Farm and its operations into the future.

“Telling the red meat industry story is so important to us – and that’s really where farm ownership will become necessary for us,” Tim said.

“We do hope to own a farm to bring people on to truly understand how important cattle and sheep are for the environment, the future of Australia and the future of managing land.”

NEW WATER ALLOCATIONS REFLECT RECORD RAINFALL IN RECENT MONTHS

The opening water allocations for NSW licenced water users refect the signifcant turnaround from drought conditions to an abundance of water across the state.

Director of Water Planning Implementation, Allan Raine, said the start of the new water year saw greatly improved storage levels, with storages almost at maximum capacity across the NSW operated rural dams.

“The frst allocations for the new water year are exceptional across inland NSW, resulting in greater water security for regional towns and critical needs, as well as improved levels of water availability for general security water users,” Mr Raine said.

“Our coastal catchments are mostly fully allocated from the start of the 2022/23 water year.

“With continued rainfall and water fowing into catchments, combined with good soil moisture for winter cropping, water availability across the entire Murray-Darling Basin is fantastic for the start of the 2022/23 water year.

“Storage levels for WaterNSW operated dams, excluding the Snowy Hydro, total about 17,300 gigalitres, which is 97 per cent of active storage capacity. This is 35 per cent higher than this time last year.

“Many parts of the NSW coast experienced heavy rainfall during the early part of 2022, with some coastal catchments experiencing record fooding in March.”

Mr Raine said that west of the range, substantial fows into the Basin and down the Barwon-Darling river system have resulted in large volumes of water arriving at the Menindee Lakes, transforming Far Western NSW.

“The Menindee system is currently surcharged to 110 per cent full, holding around 1,900 gigalitres. This is enough to provide over 18 months security of water supply for all high priority needs in the Lower Darling including a full (100 per cent) general security allocation for the 2022/23 water year.”

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a good chance of exceeding median rainfall conditions in coming months from July through to September.

Days are likely to be cooler than average for most of the state during July to September, while nights are likely to be warmer than average across the state during this period.

“We will continue to monitor conditions closely so that we can make announcements regarding changes to water availability and outlooks to keep the water users and the community informed,” Mr Raine said.

Extreme fre weather days in Australia have doubled

Extreme fre weather days have increased in Australia by 56 per cent over the last four decades, according to new research from an international team of scientists, including CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency.

The results show that the fre season length across Australia has increased by 27 additional days over the last 41 years (19792019).

CSIRO researcher, Dr Pep Canadell, said an increase in fre weather trends translated to an increase in the number of Australian bushfres.

“Australia has always experienced extreme bushfres, but the Black Summer of 2019/2020 highlighted an increasing trend in fre activity,” Dr Canadell said.

“These new fndings show that the whole of Australia has seen an increase in extreme fre weather events and extreme fre days over the last four decades.”

While the Australian fre season has increased by 20 per cent over the last 40 years, globally, the average increase was found to be 27 per cent. The frequency of days with extreme fre weather globally averaged a 54 per cent increase over the same 40-year period, compared to Australia’s increase of 56 per cent.

The length of the fre season increases has been particularly pronounced in western North America, Amazonia and the Mediterranean.

“Fire weather has risen signifcantly in most regions around the world since the 1980s, primarily due to the impacts of climate change,” Dr Canadell said.

“Australia’s highly variable fre weather conditions contribute to annual variability in fre activity, however, we are seeing over time a clear increase in the fre season and fre weather trend. Long-term climate change is driving the increasing trends.

Under future climate change scenarios, an increase in global mean temperatures from 1.5C to 4C by 2100 could result in the fre season length extending from 11 to 36 additional days (11% to 37%) compared to current conditions.

Forestry Corp fned $530,000 in June

Forestry Corporation has been prosecuted and fned four times in June for alleged illegal logging operations in koala habitat, fre-affected forests and within exclusion zones.

Last week, it was revealed the Land and Environment Court had ordered Forestry Corp to pay $230,000 for failing to comply with conditions restricting logging in important habitat for the eastern horseshoe bat in Dampier State Forest, northwest of Narooma on the South Coast. This brings the total spent by FCNSW on fnes and legal costs in the past month alone to $530,600.

This fgure rises to $684,700 when other fnes and costs accrued by Forestry Corp since April 2020 are added.

“Forestry Corp is running at a multi-million-dollar loss, subsidised by the tax-payer,” Nature Conservation Council Chief Executive Chris Gambian said.

“The public are now also bearing the brunt of paying fnes for the illegal logging they have committed. We cannot continue subsidising the trashing of our public forests.

“Forestry Corp is behaving like an outlaw organisation, not a government agency entrusted with managing 2 million hectares of public forests. The government must establish a comprehensive independent review of Forestry Corporation to ensure it acts lawfully.”

BUDGET DELIVERS HEALTH BUILDING BOOM FOR RURAL NSW

Regional and rural New South Wales will beneft from more than $3.0 billion in health infrastructure spend over the next four years.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the signifcant investment in health capital works in the 2022-23 NSW Budget would deliver better health facilities for patients and their families, more jobs, and improved working environments for doctors, nurses and support staff.

“This investment will ensure more of our regional communities in New South Wales can be cared for closer to home in new and upgraded health facilities, a win-win for patients and our highly valued health staff,” Mr Toole said.

“Importantly, at least 90 of the more than 130 health capital works projects under way in New South Wales are in rural and regional area. This record funding will mean we can turn the shovel on even more new works in coming months.”

The 2022-23 NSW Budget includes funding for two new major redevelopments at Grafton Base Hospital and Bathurst Hospital. This funding is in addition to other major works announced previously as part of the $500 million investment into regional health services including redevelopments or upgrades in Cessnock, Temora, Albury, Finley, Maitland, Batemans Bay, Forster-Tuncurry and Broken Hill.

Regional Health Minister Bronnie Taylor said the NSW Government was committed to ensuring the millions of patients cared for in hospitals and communities each year would have the best experience possible.

PROFILE: WAKEFIELD

Wakefeld sires are helping clients top weaner sales, meet the feedlot/ Jap ox market, and breed hardy, functional, fertile females.

The Wollomombi stud is currently running about 150 registered Angus cows and 300 registered Charolais cows.

Greg and Jenny Frizell have built the herd with large-scale artifcial insemination and Embryo Transfer programs. This year’s sale includes 50 Charolais and 30 Angus bulls, which is an increase on previous sale numbers offered. The vendors are proud of the quality of this year’s line-up and expect the extra numbers on offer will allow good competition without breaking the bank. This year’s sale will feature 10 high quality registered Charolais females with show potential heifers included.

Among the Charolais genetics in Wakefeld’s August 12 sale are homebred sires Wakefeld Lorax L982E, Wakefeld Masquerade M152E, and calving ease Charolais bull Wakefeld Noble N511E. AI sires include Venturon Maximum Impact and Canadian sire Elder’s Blackjack, who won the Charolais bull Champion of the World competition for 2020.

Angus AI sires include Chiltern Park Moe, Baldridge Command, Baldridge 38 Special and EF Primequarter and homebred sires Wakefeld Emperor N650 and Wakefeld Niagara P10.

“With the Angus we’re aiming for a balance between calving ease, good carcase characteristics and growth, while focusing on docility,” Mr Frizell said.

“With the Charolais we are breeding softer, easier fnishing cattle, but at the same time keeping good growth and carcase in them with moderate birthweights.”

The Frizell’s have clients along the east coast of northern NSW, as well as along the Tablelands and inland. The Angus bulls have proved popular in a wide range of environments and as with the Charolais are proving their durability and longevity. The Charolais sires are being used in crossbreeding operations in coastal areas over predominantly Bos Indicus infused cows to target the weaner, vealer and feedlot weight markets while on the Tablelands they are being used over mostly British based cow herds targeting the weaner, feedlot weight and Jap ox markets.

“The Wakefeld herd has been recording calf birth weights for a long time and a lot of herds on the coast are using higher calving ease Wakefeld Charolais bulls on Brahman infused heifers very successfully producing a better quality frst calf, simplifying their breeding programs and producing larger runs of “same type” weaners.” Mr Frizell said.

The Wakefeld herd prides itself on their cow lines in both the Charolais and Angus so clients can select the next generation of females with confdence if it suits their breeding program.

The bulls are vaccinated with 8 in 1, Leptoshield, Vibrio, Pestigard, BEF and are tested negative for Pesti virus. They are semen tested and we guarantee them to be in working order.

We’d like to invite people to inspect our sale bulls by appointment prior to the sale and help them with their choice. The sale will be on farm at Wakefeld at 1pm and online with Elite Livestock Auctions. There is a complimentary lunch and don’t forget to ask us about our freight arrangement.

Temporary visa rebound points to chronic summer of pressure on accommodation

Temporary entrants return

A rapid rebound in Australia’s temporary visa holders points to chronic pressure on accommodation by the end of the coming summer, according to Pete Wargent, cofounder of Australia’s first national network of buyer’s agents, BuyersBuyers.

Mr Wargent said, “there was an unprecedented collapse in the number of temporary entrants visa holders in Australia through the pandemic, falling by more than ¾ million from 2.41 million in 2019 to 1.64 million.”

“Yet paradoxically, we’ve ended up with a shortage of rental properties as renters have eschewed living in share houses, and as a potent combination of stimulus payments and lockdowns encouraged a surge in household formation, particularly for first-time renters.”

“Many residents of high-rise buildings found the COVID restrictions to be highly impractical since there were restrictions on how many residents could use the lift facilities at any one time. And this encouraged a rapid shift away from high-rise living, particularly away from the CBDs and their immediate environs.”

“It’s true that some of these trends will reverse as COVID restrictions are lifted in full, but the reversal will be more than offset by the huge pent-up demand for both permanent and temporary visas in order to come to Australia” Mr Wargent said.

Summer surge expected

BuyersBuyers CEO Doron Peleg said that the rebound in temporary entrants visa holders will be very robust in the second half of 2022.

Mr Peleg said, “by the end of May, the number of temporary entrants visa holders had already bounced hard by more than ¼ million to around 1.9 million, and this is likely to ramp up significantly when the summer months come around.”

“To date there has been a strong recovery in the number of visas for international students, but visitor visas remain well down on their normal levels.”

“Typically, the student visa numbers drop away at the end of term times towards the end of the calendar year, but we also expect to see a stronger ramp up in the number of visitors to Australia in the warmer summer months of the year.”

“The summer season tends to be a strong drawcard for permanent migrants to Australia too, with student numbers also resurgent after the turn of the new year. It wouldn’t be uncommon for the resident population to increase by more than 100,000 in the first quarter of the calendar year”.

“We believe there may be some short-term respite for property market pressures, given that many Australians are currently heading overseas for the European summer, with most residents having been denied that opportunity for two years. However, we believe that chronic rental market pressures will become increasingly evident, especially through the traditionally busy January to March period in the new year” Mr Peleg said.

Short-stay rentals distorting markets

BuyersBuyers co-founder Pete Wargent said that the dynamics of the rental market have changed through the pandemic, and the pressures on accommodation may manifest themselves differently over the coming nine months.

Mr Wargent said, “we’re likely to see a recovery in the use of share houses again, and CBD apartments are gradually refilling after the very high rates of vacancy we saw through the pandemic. Short-term visitors will put pressure on the capacity of hotels, some of which have been struggling with staff and skills shortages.”

“A different factor in the residential rental markets of today is the new proliferation of Airbnb and other shortstay rentals, which have played a significant role in depleting the available rental stock.”

“While numbers are fluid, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 short-stay rental properties in Australia, overwhelmingly comprising entire homes rather than individual rooms. The impacts vary around the country due to differing caps and restrictions. But the net effect is that more landlords offering shortstay options equates to less rental stock being made available for the wider residential market.”

“Overall, the coming summer months are likely to see a surge in travel itineraries bound for Australia from both temporary visitors and permanent migrants, following a period when rental vacancies have already slumped to 16-year lows. There’s likely to be chronic pressure to absorb the surge in demand by early 2023, especially given that most new arrivals into Australia tend to be renters” Mr Wargent said.

KATRINA CREER

It is an intensely competitive business, but the real estate industry can also be one of the most nurturing.

Sharing knowledge and experience - through mentoring - helps to foster professional development and leadership skills.

Its importance has been recognised by the REINSW which is currently in the process of developing a mentoring and coaching program. It will be aimed at those new to the industry, as well as existing agents with industry experience.

Taking time out to spend with the next generation of agents and property managers, not only benefts individual offces but the overall industry. While it can be diffcult to ft into already hectic schedules, most mentors discover that working with rising talent can be hugely rewarding. And for those just starting out, fnding the right person willing to coach them through those early years can put them on the path to success.

Why mentoring matters

Do you need a mentor?

As a young agent, Ewan Morton immersed himself in articles in his quest to improve his property career. It wasn’t until he attended his frst real estate conference a few years later that he realised he had been missing out on vital mentoring from his peers.

“I just didn’t know that there were people out there willing to help me,” Mr Morton said.

“I found mentors in people who could inspire me and whom I could ask questions - so I went from doing nothing for fve years – to really being quite invested in it.’

Now a successful agent, Mr Morton often speaks at events and never hesitates to help those who approach him afterwards for a chat. He also encourages other industry leaders to be involved in mentoring, saying it is both rewarding and energising.

His advice for young agents is to attend conferences and seek out speakers who resonate with them.

“Successful people know how very diffcult it is to make it and in many cases are grateful to someone who helped them, so often they are willing to pay it back with some mentoring,” said Mr Morton.
