Finance & Investment Issue 1

Your own Fijian holiday home, set to double in value in 5 years* Prices start from only $135,000 with up to 60% finance available

Imagine owning your own freehold unit in one of world’s most beautiful destinations, ready to accommodate you anytime you please. Sound like something for the rich and famous? Not anymore.

We have been selling in the Pacific Islands for 25 years, and never have we come across an opportunity as good as this. In our opinion, there is nothing that comes close to the combined quality, location and value of these wonderful little gems.

Nestled in a tranquil and private resort with absolute waterfront positioning, the units are a generous 65 sq metres and come fully furnished with TV. Each consists of a kitchen, a laundry and a large bedroom with ensuite. The ground floor units open onto a secluded patio area and the 1st floor units have their own decks, some with beautiful ocean views (so get in early).

Only 5 years old themselves, the units form part of a well-established resort with immaculately maintained lawns and mature gardens. The resort has 2 swimming pools, a waterfront restaurant and bar plus a waterslide and children’s play area.

The location is quite exceptional. Set in Momi Bay, next to the $200 Million JW Marriot Resort, the Ritz Carlton and international golf course development currently under construction. You can mingle with the jet-set at a fraction of the cost! Combined with plans to modernise and develop the resort, capital growth is assured.

With 60% finance available at 8.8% over 12 years, how can you let this chance pass by?

Hello and welcome to Inflight Publishing’s latest Property: Finance & Investment insert

A

common belief amongst many is that investing in property is a sure safe bet – much safer than shares for example. I personally believe this to be true. Should things take a turn for the worse in the property market just after you’ve bought and the value of your investment decreases, it’s really only a matter of time until it’s back up again.

Of course, there are exceptions to this.

If you’re looking into purchasing, a hefty amount of research still needs to be done, and many questions asked. The outcome could be catastrophic if the building and pest inspection is skipped and some nasty surprises are uncovered, or heaven forbid there’s a nearby development you were unaware of that is going to send your property value plummeting.

I would like to thank The Home Design Directory (www.homedesigndirectory.com.au) for providing the articles How to Choose a Building Designer, Picking Paint Colours for Your Home and Designing Your Garden.

Also, if you’re reading through and there’s something you feel you’d like us to cover in an upcoming issue with regard to property, please don’t hesitate to contact me at info@inflightmagazine.com.au.

Until then, happy reading and for those of you property hunting, good luck!

Industrial Rents Soar in Boom Town Australia Rents in WA up to 300 percent higher than Perth

A

ccording to a report by Colliers International, industrial rents in booming resource towns, such as those in the Pilbara, are up to 300 per cent higher than rents for prime grade industrial property in their capital city counterpart of Perth.

The white paper, titled ‘The rise of industrial rents in Australia’s booming resource towns’, shows industrial rents in the towns of Port Hedland, Karratha and Newman in Western Australia, where resources such as iron ore are being mined and shipped from nearby ports, are reaching highs of $250 to commonly $450-plus per square metre.

Felice Spark, Colliers International Director of Research and co-author of the report, says these rates are higher than industrial rents anywhere else in Australia, and 200 per cent to 300 per cent higher than average industrial rents for prime grade industrial property in Perth, which range from $90 to $125 per square metre. The report findings extend to other boom towns across Australia.

“Gladstone and Chinchilla and the nearby Bowen Basin in Queensland are seeing a similar pattern emerge,” Ms Spark said. “The Gladstone region has an estimated $80 billion worth of resources projects either under construction or in advanced feasibility stages including significant gas projects such as the Australia Pacific LNG project (valued at $20 billion), the Queensland Curtis LNG project ($18 billion), the Gladstone LNG project ($16 billion) and the LNG Venture ($10 billion).

"A further $5 billion is being invested towards a coal export terminal and the expansion of the port.

“On the back of this, industrial rents in Gladstone have climbed 30 per cent in the past 12 to 14 months, rising from an average range of $100 to $145/sq m at the start of 2011 to a current range of $135 to $180/sq m pa.

“Rents in Chinchilla are now achieving $125 to $150/sq m, which is also a 30 per cent increase in the same time frame. This is in contrast to current rents of $100 to $120/sq m for prime grade industrial space in Brisbane.”

In Whyalla, South Australia, part of the ‘Iron Triangle’ on the Spencer Gulf which includes Port Augusta and Port Pirie, local agents report an underlying rise of 20 per cent in industrial rents in the past 12 to 24 months due to the announcement of several major resources projects in the area.

Colliers International anticipates industrial rents in Darwin will see a 15 per cent increase in the next 12 months on the back of the of the final investment decisions of the multi-billion dollar INPEX LNG project. The INPEX Ichthys gas project is the second largest single investment made in Australia, with initial investment in Darwin reported to be about $34 billion.

“It can’t be ignored that all of the regional towns reviewed in the report are currently facing massive levels of investment in resources projects and supporting infrastructure,” Ms Spark said. “Many of these projects have development timelines of 10 years or more so the investment is not going away anytime soon.

“The commitment to these projects by many large mining and energy companies is a clear signal that demand for Australia’s resources is expected to continue and increase significantly in the years to come.”

Industrial Rental Comparison – Australia’s Capital Cities vs Booming Resource Town Average Rental Range ($/m2) City/Town

Prime Grade Western Australia Perth $90-$125 Karratha $250-$450 Newman $250-$450 Port Hedland $350-$450+

Secondary Grade $75-$95 $200-$300 $200-$300 $200-$300

Queensland Brisbane $100-$120 $60-$110 Chinchilla $125-$150 $75-$100 Gladstone $135-$180 $100-$135 South Australia Adelaide $70-$180 Whyalla $80-$100

to Choose How A Building Designer Do you need an architect?

F

or designing houses, you usually do not need an architect. All that is strictly required is having an engineer sign off on the structure and council approval. You can design and draft up the whole thing yourself, but don't go there because it is unlikely that your design will be approved without at least some professional input.

In Australia, an architect is (legally) someone who is accredited with the Architect’s Registration Board of each state. For residential projects, you do not legally require an architect, so many architecture graduates simply do not bother getting official accreditation and use the generic title "building designer" instead.

There are other building designers who have lesser qualifications, and they may well be just as good at designing houses (e.g. experienced draftsman), but there are also some designers who really do not know what they are doing.

So, how do you find an architect or building designer?

Use the Internet: Using the web, you’ll find

BY RYALL DESIGN

plenty of online directories of building designers.

Word of mouth: If you have friends or family who recently built or extended, ask them how it went and whether they’d recommend that designer.

Houses around you: Go for a bike ride and have a look at what’s being built around you. If there’s anything you particularly fancy, contact the owners and ask them who designed their house.

Old fashioned methods: classifieds ads, notice boards, etc.

Choosing the right architect or building designer: Your building designer needs to be on the same page as you with a lot of things. This includes: Budget: Make sure you let them know how much you can afford to spend. Be specific and give a dollar value. Allow the conversation to move on, describe all the things you want and brainstorm ideas together. Then, ask how much they anticipate you will need to spend. Did they remember that you already told them how much you could afford? If not, that’s a massive red light.

Scope of the project: What do you need? What is the building going to be used for and how do you plan to use it? What kind of activities do you plan to undertake? Do you paint? Sew? Read a lot in bed? These can all influence the design.

Your ideas: What you want. What kind of materials and finishes are you into? This is your vision. The designer should not be trying to "own the idea" or impose a design on you because it will look good in a design magazine.

Your building designer also has to be capable.

There are many instances where an architect or building designer draws up plans for a house that are subsequently rejected by council.

Ask what will be delivered. Will they be fully dimensioned and complete plans, sections and elevations or will you end up with a pretty pencil drawing? Make sure this information is included in any contract you sign. If the designer is vague about it, ask to see an example of a finished project. If you aren’t sure if it’s build-able, find a builder who can verify the usefulness of the end drawings.

Find other buildings that have been designed by the same building designer and find out if they had any problems with the drawings. Other important things to find out are whether the builders had any other issues working with the designer, whether they are happy with the end result (did they get what they want) and does the building have any issues? The biggest problem with funky designs is generally leaking windows and rooves (this can be the builder’s fault as much as the designer’s).

Ask local builders. This is especially important if you live in a small town with only a few building designers. They know which designer is the best and will be able to give you hundreds of examples of designer’s mistakes (that said, your local architect will be able to provide that same information about builders).

“If they don’t know something, they should admit it and at least know where to go in order to find the answer for you.”

8

Property Feature Issue 1

www.inflightmagazine.com.au

Don’t assume anything. Some older designers haven’t learnt from their mistakes and continue to make mistakes right through their careers. Many don’t keep up with professional development and have outdated techniques.

Older building designers who still use pen and paper instead of a computer to draft up their designs are a great example of this. Some young designers have a surprising amount of experience behind them. You can never tell just on looks!

Ask lots of questions - even silly ones. You should get an answer for every question you ask.

If they don’t know something, they should admit it and at least know where to go in order to find the answer for you.

Trust your instincts! If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t!

Picking

PAINT COLOURS

for your Home

W

hy can some people pick the right colours and others can't? The answer is simple; they have not read this article and learned the rules! Luckily the rules for choosing paint colours are not that complicated, so let's get started. First we explain some basic terms and concepts and then we explain and illustrate our colour selection rules.

PAINT COLOUR: BASIC TERMS AND CONCEPTS Primary, secondary and tertiary colours There are only 3 primary colours to choose from: red, blue and yellow. The word "primary" is used to describe these colours because they can not be mixed from other colours.

The colour wheel pictured on the opposite page shows how the three primary colours can be mixed to produce the three secondary colours: orange, green and purple (also called violet). The word "secondary" is used to describe the fact

10

Property Feature Issue 1

that these colours are the result of mixing two primary colours.

Mix a primary and a secondary colour and the results is a tertiary colour. These have "imaginative" names like red-orange, yelloworange, blue-green, etc. Exciting stuff.

Thankfully nobody talks about "quadratic colours"; because once you mix in another colour, you always get brown!

Complementary and split complementary colours Complementary colours look great when used together in the right proportions. Complimentary colours make each other seem brighter.

Complementary colours appear on opposite sides of the colour wheel. Split complementary refers to the use of the colours that border the complementary colour. For example if your primary colour is going to be violet, then the complementary colour is yellow. The splitcomplementary colours are green and orange.

www.inflightmagazine.com.au

The four dimensions of colour: hue, value, intensity & temperature Hue: Hue is another name for colour, or, if you want to get technical, hue is: "The attribute of colours that permits them to be classed as red, yellow, green, blue, or an intermediate between any contiguous pair of these colours" (source: Merriam Webster Dictionary), or: "A hue is an element of the colour wheel" (source: Wikipedia).

Tonality is the dominance in a room (or in a picture, scenic outdoor setting, etc.) of a particular hue or colour. Broken hues (or broken colours) are an unequal combination of primary colours.

Value or tint: Simply the lightness or darkness of a colour (how much black and/or white it has in it). The resulting colour is called a tint. This is different from a shade which is a dull colour resulting from the mix of a pure colour with its complementary colour. Note: Unfortunately these terms are overloaded; many sources refer to a tint as "colour + white", a shade as "colour +

black" and tone as "colour + grey".

Intensity or saturation: Vividness of hue or colour; degree of difference from a grey of the same lightness or brightness (source: The Free Dictionary). Neutral colours have low saturation.

All pure colours or hues are fully saturated.

Painting an object with a high intensity colour will make that object appear larger and it pushes the object forward in the visual field (source: Colour: How to use Colour in Art and Design, 2nd edition, by E. A. Feisner - page 54).

Temperature: Temperature refers to the warmth or coolness of a colour. Research has shown that certain colours stimulate us and increase our temperature slightly, and some colours relax us and decrease our temperature. Warm hues are yellow, yellow-orange, red-orange, red and red-violet. The cool hues are yellow-green,

blue-green, blue and blue-violet; in other words, they are usually related to blue, with the coolest being blue-green. (source: How to use Colour in Art and Design, 2nd edition, by E. A. Feisner - page 56). Using a warm colour, like a warm white in a bathroom, will make the space seem warmer. Note: different types of lighting also effect the apparent temperature of a colour; e.g. dim lighting will make reds, yellows and oranges seem warmer.

Monochromatic: This is the most commonly

COLOUR SCHEMES

the right proportions. Making use of this fact

There are three colour schemes that you can choose from:

Analogous: If you choose two or three paint colours next to each other on the colour wheel, you have an analogous colour scheme.

PLANNING

a Garden Y

ou probably have some idea of what you want in your garden - plants, deck, barbecue area, pergola and greenhouse, even a vegetable garden. So many ideas running around your head.

It is best to start by taking an objective look at your garden. Measure it. Think about how different areas will work. Then do a rough sketch with the measurements added. From this, you can make a master plan.

Once you have your plan you can do the work as quickly or slowly as you want. If you think you don't need to plan, think again. You may end up with serious problems and an environment you don't like.

Measuring your garden Measuring your garden can be quite daunting. If you can, start out with a site map of your property. See your builder or go to your local council office. This site plan should have your entire property drawn to scale.

The main point of the site map is to make sure you know where your services are - water, power, telephone. Check your house is in the correct position. Also, check the north indicator on the map is actually pointing north. Check all other measurements for accuracy. If everything checks out, you have a basic landscape plan already. Keep it as a reference as you start designing. If you cannot get a site map, simply use graph paper.

Start by positioning your house on the graph. To do this measure the front corners of your house to your front boundary line; then measure from the front corners of your house to the side boundary lines.

Measure the angles and exterior walls going from corner to corner.

Write down the measurements then draw them onto your graph. Now you have a map of your front garden.

Now for the back garden. Measure from the back corners to the back and side boundary lines - include any paths, driveways, patio, barbecue areas.

Add in anything that already exists. Work out what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of. Draw everything to scale on your map.

Now you have a starting point, get half a dozen photocopies of your plan. You need them later on.

Designing your garden You probably already have ideas about what you want to do and some favourite plants you want to plant. But, take a look around your neighbourhood. What gardens work? Why? What do you like and what don't you like?

Do an analysis of your property - Do you need gates? Do you need good lighting for security? What about fencing? What trees are staying? Do you want to enjoy your garden at night with appropriate garden lighting? What is the best aspect of the property and how do you take advantage of it? What do you and your family need in your everyday lifestyle?

Think about styles and themes Japanese, English traditional, rose gardens, wildlife attracting gardens.

You should already have a good idea of the environment you want to create but still not thought about the plants.

At this stage you may just look at areas and visualise flowers in one area, shade trees in another, a vegetable garden somewhere else. When you put your paths onto your sketch, remember their borders can be used as the borders for garden beds. Make your paths meander rather than straight for a softer feel.

Also, consider your property's drainage. Do you need to change the way your land slopes for better drainage of any new areas? Will you need stairs, retaining walls or terraces? Consider drainage for any water features.

Now you have all the necessary elements in place, create highlights for your garden - for example, water features, pergolas, outdoor living areas.

You can create entire rooms or themes around these elements.

Go outside and visualise your plan for each area and as a whole. Look at it. Does it work? Can you feel it? Bring it alive by staking out areas or use the hose to mark out pathways and garden beds. Make changes on your plan and take down any ideas as you go.

Now it is time to clean up your plan.

Take another copy of your original site plan and trace your design onto it. Mark all the base elements such as paths,

Make your master plan Take out a copy of your site plan to use as a rough sketch and a soft pencil for drawing in shapes. Put tracing paper over your site plan and start drawing loose shapes to represent your ideas.

Keep in mind your site analysis and the natural movement through your gardens. Take a walk around your property and work out how you will get to different areas easily - gates, fences, sheds, barbecue area, garden walls, pool. Put them on your sketch.

driveways, existing structures and trees, and your boundary lines. Add the areas you want to create. Label them with the construction materials you'll use.

Now choose the plants. Add plants to your design and label them.

Just one more step. Make another copy of your master plan and layout your irrigation system. Your local irrigation supplier can help you with this. And add any lighting requirements for paths and ponds.

Now your design is finished and you have a complete working plan of your vision for your everyday environment.

Little Creek Rides Gladstone Property Wave L

eading Queensland developer, Villa World Group started 2012 on a strong note with the company’s family-friendly Little Creek community at Gladstone notching up 51 sales so far this year.

The sales, which are worth approximately $13 million, take total sales at the Kirkwood estate to more than $40 million. Since the most recent release, which opened in September last year, buyers have been snapping up home sites at an incredible rate and as a direct result, the group has released further stages to satisfy the demand.

Most recently, the group released Stage 15, which features 44 level homesites ranging in size from approximately 600 sqm to 1145 sqm.

Villa World Development Manager, Murray Simpson said the project offered an attractive option for buyers looking to secure land in the sought-after Gladstone community.

“Sales at Little Creek have performed well above expectations,” he said. “With home sites available from $214,000, Little Creek

delivers value for money, an excellent location, convenience and an attractive place to live.

“The Gladstone market is continuing to go from strength to strength and we look forward to further successes in 2012. Construction of homes at Little Creek is underway and we are fielding a number of enquiries from buyers locally and from other states.”

Located on 110ha in Kirkwood, Little Creek is an attractive, family friendly community designed around tranquil Briffney Creek and will feature 13.5 hectares of open, green space.

There will be a park and recreation domain with a kick and throw area, scenic walking paths, a potential picnic or barbecue zone and bike trails.
