Rising sea levels a factor now New developments along coast to be pushed back a further 50 metres to avoid future problems NEW developments along our coast will be pushed back a further 50m to accommodate seal level changes, erosion and severe storms. A predicted increase in vertical sea levels from 0.38m to 0.9m will result in an increase to the horizontal setback for the general guide from 100m to 150m. While the State Government in WA is confident the revised policy will accommodate coastal processes across a 100-year planning time frame, the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) is concerned the State Government’s revision to the coastal planning policy was too rigid. UDIA CEO Debra Goostrey said while she didn’t disagree that sea level rises needed to be addressed, she did think that there are bestpractice solutions that could be considered other than just a blanket set back. “UDIA believes that more flexibility for developers is required to ensure that land is not unnecessarily sterilised for any form of development,” she said. “Alternatives such as sea walls could be implemented in some cases to protect development from a potential (sea level) rise. “Worldwide new technologies and engineering solutions are popping up all the time and it is important to acknowledge that there could be other ways of protecting new development.” Planning Minister John Day said the WA
CARMELLE WILKINSON Editor
Planning Commission found it necessary to amend the policy in recognition of nationally accepted and adopted increases in sea level rise projections. “The practice of requiring development setbacks and foreshore reserves has been in place in WA since the 1930s, which means WA is somewhat better placed than other states to deal with the impacts of rising sea level and storm events,’’ he said. “The decision has followed careful consideration and reflects the latest information from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2007) and the
Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) (2008), and is consistent with other state jurisdictions’ policy positions,” the minister said. “The position statement places the State in a sound position to avoid negative and costly impacts of sea level rise on coastal development. “It will ensure our state’s coastal planning guidelines are based on the most up-to-date information, common sense and a precautionary approach.” Ms Goostrey said there should be greater flexibility and freedom for developers and builders. “If a developer chooses to use the land for recreation facilities or restaurants, and they are aware there is a risk that in 50 or 100 years that area may be affected by sea level rise, it should be up to them to take that risk,’’ she said. A full review of the State Coastal Planning Policy has begun, with proposed changes expected to be released for public consultation by the end of the year. ■
Auction of two old Blencowe Street homes a success One sells under the hammer for $1.855m, the other by offer soon after auction ABEL McGrath Property Group has reason to celebrate after a successful auction day on the September 18 weekend. Offered for the first time in 50 years, 86 and 88 Blencowe Street in West Leederville were snapped up – number 88 sold under the hammer for $1.855 million. Set on a rare 905sqm block, 88 Blencowe is an iconic home to many locals for the stately elevated presence and award winning gardens. A recent deceased estate with the properties left to the children, the properties had three months of cosmetic improvements with
painting, ripping up carpets and polishing of the jarrah floors. Then with the expertise of a home stylist, the final presentation was of display home standards. Bidding was slow to commence and number 86 was passed in. However shortly following the auction, two offers were received and it later sold. There was a carnival atmosphere at the auction with volunteers from the Whitfords Lions Club holding a sausage sizzle to help feed the strong crowd of more than 160, which included past owners and residents.
A lady in her 70s was in attendance, and approached the team at Abel McGrath telling them her family, the Wardells, had owned number 88 for many years and she was even born in the house. The current R30 zoning created the unusual opportunity for developers, as the two blocks combined would allow for five new homes. Abel McGrath said nearby neighbours would be pleased to know the new owners plan to renovate and update the homes to modern standards. ■
Network backs worthy cause LJ HOOKER are taking it in their stride, assisting Cystic Fibrosis WA with a walkathon and carnival fun day to raise much-needed funds for people living with the condition. To be held at Lake Monger Reserve in Wembley this Sunday, registration is at 10am with the walk starting at 11am. Participants can either walk or run the 3.8km course and all money raised goes to Cystic Fibrosis WA. “We have been involved in this event for a number of years, but want this year to be the biggest and best ever,” LJ Hooker Network Performance Co-ordinator Craig Abbott said. “Several of our metropolitan offices are participating and are encouraging their local communities to take part. “We urge everyone to come along and help support this very worthy cause.” Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most common life-threatening recessive genetic disease conditions for which there is no known cure. It mainly affects the lungs and digestive system, and there is a 1 in 25 chance of carrying the gene. People interested in taking part in the Great Strides Walkathon can register online http://www.cysticfibrosis.org.au /wa-events or by calling Cystic Fibrosis W.A on 9346 7333. Registrations can also be made on the day. ■ Entry costs $20 per person or $40 per family.

Wow factor thrives through test of time This former display home in Subi has all the attributes to impress, writes JANE EVANS ‘DESIGNED to inspire’ is the Buildwise motto and one that the company certainly lives up to. This ex display home in Subi Centro was built about five years ago as the Buildwise flagship property, and it still is a home you walk through and think ‘wow!’ The home’s timeless appeal is due to remarkable craftsmanship, an effortless flow and striking architectural lines. An oversized timber and glass front door opens into an impressive entrance featuring a signature Buildwise aquarium. A dedicated home office with french doors runs off the entrance, as does a sophisticated home theatre room which can be sectioned off for added privacy from the rest of the house. The centre of the home comprises an open floor plan.

A void to the second storey provides an added sense of space and light to the ground

The master bedroom is ultra luxurious, with a hotel suite feel about it. Double doors open into the large room with an ensuite and walk-in robe off the sleeping area.

Slice of period paradise On a large, lush block bordering parklands, this gorgeous Mosman Park home brings an English manor to mind, writes JANE EVANS A formal lounge and dining room flow on from the foyer, both light-filled and with stunning park vistas. A more casual lounge area adjoins the meals and kitchen area, which overlooks exquisitely maintained, northerly gardens. “We just wanted a very peaceful home, one in which the doors could be open all the time,” said the owner. “The park is just full of birdlife. “They fly in through the house all the time.” There are four bedrooms, all located upstairs, most facing the park and with access to the verandah. “We sit up here and eat our breakfast, it’s just beautiful,” said the owner. There is nothing chaotic about this graceful home. Sweeping views, combined with privacy and seclusion, make this opportunity a rarity. ■

THIS colonial-inspired property is the sort you would expect to find in the English countryside. Sweeping verandahs enclose one-half of the double-storey home, with french doors from every room opening out on to them. The gorgeous Mosman Park property backs directly on to expansive parkland, which stretches as far as the eye can see. The owners purchased the 1098sqm block 20 years ago. Having previously lived in Tasmania, the owner wanted to recreate the home she had lived in there.The elegant Georgian-style residence is at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway. Intricate wrought-iron gates at the arched entry to the home add a French touch. Inside, the foyer features a grand, curved staircase. Italian stone lines the floor of the ground level, each piece meticulously laid by a local artist who took months to complete the task.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF ICONIC HISTORY “Tate Gallery”, as it has affectionately been known for longer than most can remember is now available for new owners to call “home”. Commissioned by the then owner a Mrs Paterson this significant home was designed by leading Architects of the day, Hine and Selby. Constructed in 1909, the property reflects classic Edwardian influence and the artisan’s craft; deep profiled skirting boards, high ceilings and detailed cornices to the interior and finely crafted exterior fretwork. With a fresh paint finish throughout the interior and all external paintwork refreshed, there certainly isn’t much to do to this greatly admired West Leederville icon of over a hundred years. The high ceilings create a sense of generous space and elegance; exquisitely detailed stain glass in key areas of “Tate Gallery” allow a flow of natural light without compromising privacy. Well proportioned living areas interconnect and also lead out to the garden area to the rear. Mellow hardwood floors flow throughout including the staircase. Air conditioning, an alarm system, ceiling fans, under stairs storage and a large linen press are some additional benefits. Tony Cowan Three of the four bedrooms feature fireplaces enhancing the overall architectural Edwardian design integrity and are well serviced by sparkling bathroom facilities. A courtyard to the rear of the property serves as a usable entertaining/outdoor living area whilst creating a natural separation 0434 905 430 tony@harcourtscentral.com.au between the dwelling and the double garage with electronic doors. If you are looking for a classically beautiful feature property with original character and charm that’s coupled with the luxury of modern convenience, this unique piece of history is a “must” to inspect.

Investors lose out on millions in benefits Many fail to use depreciation to their advantage. By CARMELLE WILKINSON

WITH building approvals for higher density homes such as apartments and units skyrocketing, a growing number of WA investors are missing out on hundreds of dollars in tax benefits. According to tax depreciation experts DEPPRO, first-time investors fail to understand that tax benefits are just as important as rental income. New ABS figures show residential building approvals in WA for higher density homes totalled $1.17 billion last financial year, indicating a rise of more than $320 million. The central Perth area, which includes the western suburbs, accounted for about 23 per cent of all building approvals in the metro area during this period. DEPPRO said higher density living had become increasing popular in Perth, particularly along the northern coastal strip with the Stirling coastal area accounting for over $50 million in building approvals in the past year. “It is unfortunate that many first-time property investors who purchase apartments and
units for investment purposes are still the most common group of investors who fail to obtain the full tax depreciation entitlements,’’ she said. “While there are many issues concerning the depreciation entitlements on properties, in most cases, strata style homes such as apartments provide a higher rate of depreciation than houses.” Ms Tucker said when you consider that the purchase price of these new apartments/townhouses can start from over $450,000, an investor could achieve significant tax benefits through depreciation. “Most investors do not realize that tax benefits obtained through depreciation can be equivalent to 60 per cent of the total purchase price of the property,’’ she said. “For a new apartment in Perth this can equate to over $250,000 in possible tax benefits through depreciation.A large proportion of these tax benefits are never claimed which means that each year hundreds of millions of dollars in tax benefits are lost every year by investors not claiming their entitlements.” ■

Luis determned to share the flair even more Luis La Pegna’s design showroom Dlux Interiors has achieved all it set out to do, writes JANE EVANS LUIS La Pegna is proof that when it comes to design flair, either you have it or you don’t. Nine years ago, the then 30-yearold decided to move away from a career in hospitality and into interior design. Without any formal qualifications, he established boutique design consultancy Dlux Interiors, which he later expanded into a retail showroom. Earlier this month, Mr La Pegna opened his second store, a larger, more upmarket showroom, in Nedlands. “I’ve always had a passion for furniture and interiors, and my flair was nurtured by family and friends,” he said. “It has remained a constant part of my life.” When he established Dlux Interiors in 2001, the West Perth resident said that Perth people were still Luis La Pegna shy in their interiors, afraid to try anything too bold or new. “I’m drawn to French deco and Hollywood Glamour,” he said. “And I love black and white, the combination is so timeless. “I also have a penchant for armchairs. I just think they add so much to a room. “They can change a whole space
and so much can be expressed through them.” Mr La Pegna said he wanted to create a store that was both unique and overwhelming. And the Nedlands showroom is just that. Hollywood-esque black and white striped awnings hover above the glamorous window displays – a combination of striking pieces, both imported and from interstate, but all as opulent as one another. Having a presence on Stirling Highway has long been a dream of Mr La Pegna’s who says that approximately 50 per cent of his clientele are from the western suburbs. “Customers have been overwhelming with support; it’s been a long time coming,” he said. With two sisters and two other designers on board, Dlux Interiors has gone from strength to strength. What next? The anticipated opening of Beluga, a new restaurant in Claremont Quarter, for which Mr La Pegna styled the interior. Due to open in February next year, the wait almost seems unbearable for Dlux enthusiasts. ■
