The Pilbara is an incredible place,why not invest here? The Pilbara is an extraordinary place. It’s a day-and-a-half’s drive from Perth, nine days by road from Brisbane and a couple of plane flights from Sydney. Yet, real estate in this remote, red lunar landscape is doing something that it’s not doing elsewhere in our wide brown land. We see properties advertised here offering returns of 10 per cent or more, double the expectation of landlords elsewhere in Australia. Here at the Pilbara Property Guide we watch to see what’s happening with great interest as new developments and opportunities unfold. Australia’s first resources boom – the gold rush – began 160 years ago and people moved in droves to places like Bendigo and Ballarat. Now it’s all happening in the Pilbara, which is closer to Bali than Bendigo. It’s the resources boom that is attracting people to WA, this part in particular, and making life easier for families to grow here. The Australian Bureau of Statistics says the median age – at 30.4 for males and 31.5 for females – is five years younger than Perth’s median and the state’s as a whole. Western Australia continues to record the highest population growth

figures. The ABS website: www.abs.gov.au/ausstats says: “The preliminary estimated resident population of WA at 30 June 2010 was 2.30 million, an increase of 49,100 persons, or 2.2%, over the previous year. Nationally, the population grew by 377,100 persons, or 1.7%, to 22.34 million.” State and local government, the resources industry and the building industry are all involved in the planning and development of our Pilbara towns – make that cities – of the near future. The Pilbara Cities program has growth in mind – creating residential environments for employees in the iron ore, oil and gas industries. Houses need builders and the Master Builders Association is calling for more land to be released, and quickly. Michael McLean, the WA executive director, visited the region recently, and he said the

❚ Helen Stewart, editor of the Pilbara Property Guide building industry wants to be involved in the Pilbara Cities program. He also said house design in the Pilbara needs to be innovative to meet our requirements due to climate conditions. A strong building industry in the region will further diversify employment opportunities, build the regions’ skills base and, if Mr McLean is correct, provide training opportunities for our young people. All positive! Government and industry are addressing the challenges of supplying water, health care, roads and electricity for our communities. Tourists continue to arrive in the cooler months of the year; first time visitors satisfying the question in their minds … “is the

Pilbara really like they say it is?” Those returning for another visit come for the rugged landscape, beautiful sunsets, the fishing, or to see friends they’ve made along the way; the list is limited only by imagination. With all of this going on, it’s hard to move past an opportunity to invest here. Even if the “bricks and mortar” of old has been replaced with contemporary cladding and steel roofing, property – residential and commercial – is an investment in your own future as well as that of the Pilbara. Over the coming months we’ll bring you many of these opportunities in the Pilbara Property Guide plus advice from the industry’s experts each week.

Infrastructure investment earmarked for commencement within the next 12 months will see a large influx of new residents to Karratha. With residential land already in short supply this is

The astute buyer, whether they be owner occupiers or investors, will see great value in this quality, well-located property. The prudent will move quickly to secure this great investment before the inevitable price rises of the near future.

“This will confirm that the new details are correct and may alert the owner to any improper activity that is occurring. “The general principles of ‘know your customer’ should apply at all times and the standard 100-point identity check used by banks and other institutions should be used as a minimum when dealing with remote clients. “While identity fraud is always a risk, these are important prevention measures. “Signatures should also be carefully checked against original signatures on file and any major differences should prompt further investigation. Agents should also ask questions about the property that only the true owner would know. “If agents have any doubts about the authenticity of a document, they should seek to have it independently verified by the issuing authority. Landgate’s Registrar of Titles Bruce Roberts said he fully supported the increased measures to refine and improve identity verification by all organisations involved in the selling and transfer of property.

A couple returning from overseas have advised authorities that their property has been sold without their knowledge or consent and a joint investigation has been launched. The previous owners were living and working overseas at the time and didn’t discover the property had been sold until they recently returned to Perth to inspect the property. The real estate agent involved has told investigators that he received a phone call from a man claiming to be the owner, in February this year, inquiring about the property. Shortly afterwards, the agent received an urgent request to sell the property as funds were needed for a business investment, which was later revealed to be a supposed petro-chemical project.

Detective Senior Sergeant Pete Davies of the Major Fraud Squad said it appears the scam originated in Nigeria and there are some similarities to the fraudulent sale of a Karrinyup property in September last year. “We are in the early stages of a full criminal investigation and examining computer, phone records and bank accounts,” Det Sen Sgt Davies said. Commissioner for Consumer Protection Anne Driscoll has urged real estate and settlement agents to apply stringent measures to confirm the identity of absentee owners who wish to sell their properties remotely and ensure the person they are dealing with is the legitimate owner. “It is essential that agents have rigorous procedures and a clear protocol in place to certify that the appropriate person has been identified as the real owner before providing the service,” Ms Driscoll said. “It is critical that when an owner changes their contact details that real estate agents send a confirmation to both the owner’s original and new addresses, using all forms of communication.

$6million Karratha housing estate snapped up for rental A $6 million medium-density housing development in Karratha’s Tambrey estate has been quickly snapped up for rent by businesses in the region. The housing on Desert Pea Boulevard features nine modular homes, including two duplexes and one studio, provided by transportable accommodation business Formas. The site also includes a pool and common BBQ facilities for residents. Formas general manager John Longhurst said the medium-density project was created specifically for the low maintenance tenant and the units rented quickly. “These homes have been leased to a variety of tenants including staff from Rio Tinto and Westpac and were quickly sought out by the local market, with all units leased in less than two weeks,” he said. “The speed with which the homes were rented underscores the demand for modern, versatile housing in the region.

Leasing agent Richard Naulls from Ray White Karratha said there is a trend for more companies to look to leasing rather than buying in the present market. “There are major benefits for businesses to have their staff housed in town rather than flying them in and out or accommodating them at workers camps out of town so this complex has proved very attractive,” he said. “There are not a lot of these sorts of developments on this scale on the ground in Karratha yet but they will likely become more commonplace as they are in high demand.”

New WA building act has arrived Builders, local authorities, developers, engineers, architects and others involved with the building industry should attend a Building Act information session in regional areas.

❚ Building Commissioner Peter Gow during the new Building Act conference

The Building Act, which has just been passed by State Government, is set to modernise the building industry, streamline building approvals, introduce private certification and strengthen protection for consumers who are building new homes. Commerce Minister Simon O’Brien said the new building legislation delivers the most significant reform to building regulation for Western Australia in more than 50 years. “The new laws will see the Department of Commerce’s Building Commission become the principal regulator of building standards and building service providers in Western Australia. Its primary focus will be to promote fair and efficient building and plumbing practice in WA.

“The new legislation will see the abolition of Builders’ Registration Board, the Painters’ Registration Board and the Building Disputes Tribunal. “A building commissioner assisted by a building services board, will register building service providers. “The building commissioner will deal directly with consumer complaints by focusing on resolving them rapidly, before becoming entrenched through the courts. “This will provide better protection for consumers who find themselves in dispute with their builder. Intractable disputes will be referred to the State Administrative Tribunal.” “Western Australia’s building industry is modern and sophisticated and employs more than 10 per cent of the workforce, plus it is an important training ground for young people. Mr O’Brien said the State Government has moved quickly to consolidate building regulation into the Building Commission to provide enhanced services to consumers and building industry

participants, as well as to support reforms to building approval processes. Building Commissioner Peter Gow said sweeping reforms to Western Australia’s building industry are seeing wide changes to the responsibilities of owners, builders and many other people who provide services to the building industry. “When laws are updated so significantly, some dating back 50 years, it is important to provide the community with access to information that is going to help make the transition trouble free,” he said. “The Building Commission acknowledges the vibrancy of the industry in WA’s regional areas and is hosting free information sessions in a range of towns. “I encourage anyone interested to invest three hours of their time and register.” The building act reforms will be in Karratha on Monday, September 12. To register for the event email bcevents@commerce.wa.gov.au, fax 9476 1333 or phone 1300 489 099.
