Guide to ‘green’ rentals released NORTH Geelong Real Estate has teamed up with sustainable living experts Transition Consulting to promote environmentally friendly living in their area. Renters in Hamlyn Heights, Bell Park and Bell Post Hill will receive the Renters Guide to Sustainable Living with tips and hints to reduce energy and water use in the home. North Geelong Real Estate’s Joe Grgic said the guide focused on simple living changes that reduced environmental damage. “The booklet also provides information on how tenants can take advantage of a number of government rebates and tax concessions that are available to assist with sustainable improvements to their home, even though they may not own it,” Mr Grgic said. “By tenants positively pursuing the opportunities the booklet presents to make their home more environmentally sustainable and cost effective, landlords too will realise that they won’t need to undertake major renovations to make their investment property more energy efficient.” Mr Grgic said more than 100 tenants in the area will receive the sustainability guide, which presented a win-win situation for tenants and landlords. “Just as importantly landlords will be adding value to their house and making it appealing to the more environmentally-conscious renter,” he said. “The number of this type of tenant is growing by the month.” Transition Consulting director Andrew Lucas said the guide cleared up confusion for renters. “Tenants are often a little unsure about what improvements they’re allowed to make to their rental house to make it more efficient and environmentally friendly,” Mr Lucas said.

A Class Act on Large Family Sized Allotment Brilliantly presented three bedroom family home highlighted by a spectacular rear garden and garaging for four vehicles. Accommodation on offer entrance hallway, spacious formal lounge and dining rooms, modern up dated kitchen, adjoining a casual meals/family area, three generous size bedrooms, two bathrooms and a covered outdoor entertaining area. This is a home that you will be proud to show your family and friends. Act now and call for an inspection.

Off the press: North Geelong Real Estate’s Joe Grgic and Transition Consultancy’s Andrew Lucas inspect the first copy of the new book. “This guide helps fill a market gap and encourages renters to take a broad look at improving every aspect of their lifestyle and home, from lighting to heating and cooling for the living room, kitchen, bathroom and even outdoor areas.” The guide was produced by Alternative Technology Association, Mr Lucas said. “Alternative Technology Association is a highly respected not-for-profit organisation that has promoted the use of renewable energy, water conservation and sustainable living since 1980.”

Priced For a Perfect Start Real estate’s war on everything: The Buxton team, Jarrod Leonard, Ben Riddle and Justin Brown, had an impromptu meeting with Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

You´ll love the convenience and location of this master built three bedroom family home, handy to local amenities. Tiled entry foyer leads to a spacious lounge and formal dining area, well appointed galley style kitchen with time saving appliances, breakfast bar and walk-in pantry, tiled north facing family room with a sliding door to a large covered outdoor entertaining area. Indoor entry to double garage. Landscaped gardens, rain water tanks and lots of paving. The perfect start for investors or family home buyers.

Buxton agents grill visiting PM PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd received a lesson on Geelong’s real estate market last week during an impromptu meeting with the Buxton team. The team wasn’t shy about asking the tough questions when they approached the Prime Minister outside Two Sugars café in Belmont. Buxton Highton director Ben Riddle said stamp-duty concerns were highlighted by the team during the five-minute chat. “We heard Mr Rudd was just up the road from our office having coffee, so we went up there to see if we could grab a photo,” Mr Riddle said. “After that we had a quick chat and he was very interested in the state of Geelong’s real estate market. “We hinted that something needed to be done about stamp duty in Victoria, which is the highest in Australia.” Mr Riddle said the Prime Minister had asked about the ring road’s impact and if the First Real Estate page 3

Home Owners Grant was helping Geelong home buyers. “We certainly feel that the ring road has delivered a huge boost to the area and is starting to equate to dollars in our vendors pockets.” He said Mr Rudd had “quite a good idea” of Geelong’s real estate market but was keen to learn more. “He also asked us about housing affordability in the area and how interest rate rises had impacted us,” Mr Riddle said. “Interest rates have started to have a cooling affect on vendor’s prices but it’s still such a competitive market out there.” He hoped the concerns raised during the chat would be addressed in the lead up to the next election. “We told him that stamp duty was a major concern but that otherwise the market was doing well.”

Peaceful lifestyle near the city iverfalls is a lifestyle opportunity with allotments from 856 square metres to 1743 square metres, offering country living with city convenience. The estate is only a short stroll to the tranquil surrounds of Buckley Falls with its many walking and bike riding trails, golf at Queens Park and easy access to some of Geelong’s leading schools. Central Geelong is just five minutes away while the region’s surf beaches are 15 minutes drive and Melbourne is only 50 minutes via the new ring road. Riverfalls is an environmental haven where rural views and the birdlife abound along the Barwon River due to the cooperation between the estate’s developers and volunteers from the

Friends of Buckley Falls where thousands of new trees have been planted along the river edge. The gently undulating hills around the estate and views across the valley provide the perfect, relaxing landscape, to build that special home. Stage two of the development is now selling with titles available from November 2010. Another bonus with the Riverfalls stage two will be the minimal traffic flow created by the court location which adds to the attractiveness of the estate. To take advantage of raising your family or enjoying retirement in this special residential development, contact Janis Pearson on 0428 625 113 or Phillipa Gartland on 0409 499 765.
