SW Premier Mike Baird has helped launch the Property Council’s 2015 Election Policy Platform, which outlines policy proposals to create a more vibrant, prosperous and liveable state. The document was unveiled in front of 650 guests at the Property Council’s Division Lunch. “The property industry is a crucial pillar of the State’s economy – generating one in 10 jobs in NSW,” NSW Executive Director Glenn Byres said. Features of the platform include: * Developing a new Metropolitan Strategy with bold growth targets – and empowering the proposed Greater Sydney Commission to deliver on it * Progressing an integrated

* *

30-year strategy for employment lands in western Sydney to capture the upside from a new airport at Badgerys Creek A complete re-write of the State’s planning laws Modernising local government – with forced amalgamations on the table if councils fail to take up incentives to merge Undertaking a long-term lease of residual energy assets to fund major infrastructure Recycling capital into the next generation of infrastructure projects, particularly the second harbour rail crossing Engaging in the national tax reform debate with elimination of stamp duty a primary goal.

Report is welcomed T

he report handed down by MP Kelly O’Dwyer for the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics inquiry into foreign investment in residential real estate has been welcomed by the First National Real Estate network, according to First National Real Estate Lake Macquarie principal, Troy Duncan (pictured). “First National Real Estate’s representations at Parliament House pointed to the need for Government to adopt systems and processes that properly identify the citizenship and residency of people buying Australian residential property,” he said. “Once that has been done, the Government and public will

understand the actual extent of foreign investment in residential real estate and, with enhanced monitoring of compliance by the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB), a fully informed assessment of policy will become possible.” The report essentially finds that the Government’s foreign investment policy settings are adequate, but that the FIRB has been inadequately resourced to properly check that properties are bought and sold in compliance with the regulatory framework. It further recommends the application of a $1,500 administrative fee for foreign investors to help the FIRB fund enhanced auditing and monitoring processes. For foreign investors who breach the rules, fines based on a percentage of the property value are recommended and any capital gain that is made on an illegally held property should be forfeited to the Government, expressly for the purposes of auditing, compliance and enforcement. Another important recommendation is that the Department of Immigration inform the FIRB when temporary residents leave the country on expiry of their visa.

New property trend emerges A

new trend sees the new generation of youngsters using the equity stashed in the family home to purchase a home in inner-city areas, close to employment, amenities and entertainment. Wealth coach and real estate expert, Zaki Ameer, said he and his team at Dream Design Property had recently observed this new trend among young adults in their 20s, who are leaving the nest and embarking on their life away from the family home. “Upon finishing their studies, young adults find that their place of employment is located in the CBD, as well as all the amenities they want to access, such as nightlife, entertainment, and retail offerings,” he said. “In Sydney, these locations are typically the Eastern suburbs and the inner city, and in Brisbane it’s Newstead and Fortitude

Valley. Property is priced way outside of capabilities of the salary of a career starter, so purchasing a property in the desired location of these Gen Ys is impossible.” One of the most popular options today for young adults keen to enter the property market is to draw down on the equity in the family home. “In many cases, the family home is already paid for, which creates substantial security when applying for the loan. Provided the youngster is gainfully employed, purchasing in the area where ‘it’s all happening’ is right within his/her means,” he said. According to Mr Ameer, while this option may not have been possible in earlier generations, the parents of today’s youth are likely to work longer and are not keen on downsizing or moving to a retirement complex in the foreseeable future. “Their parents do not see themselves

as old, and therefore are in no hurry to sell the family home. They don’t want to live among retired people or senior citizens, and more than likely are perfectly happy in the family home surrounded by families and young people.” Mr Ameer said they are likely to also see their son or daughter’s move to the CBD and inner city areas as an opportunity to invest in property, with a tenant who they trust and is related to them. However, if they do not have parents in the position to draw down on their equity, the young person can decide to rent in the locations they want to live, which is also costly but manageable.

Around your place

Festive fun Christmas is just around the corner, and it’s time to make sure your house is getting into the festive season spirit

We want your feedback You may have noticed in recent weeks that Property Hunter continues to grow and is emerging as the Hunter’s number one real estate product, with the best agents and best listings. 20 Property | Hunter

Buying a real Xmas Tree Measure the space: It can get pretty exciting out there when you see all the fantastic real Christmas trees. But what if you get home and it doesn’t fit? Make sure you measure the space before you leave home and adhere to the restrictions you have.

Water: Real trees require water to keep them fresh and stop the leaves dropping off, similar to the way you care for flowers in a vase. Perhaps look for a tree stand that can hold about four litres of water. This will keep things pretty safe.

t’s the end of November which means it’s well and truly time to start thinking about your home Christmas display if you haven’t already. Whether you want to cover your home in festive lighting or just add a few decorative elements Bunnings National Lighting Buyer Natasha Ryan has some tips to ensure the process is as easy as possible. Before starting any lighting project safety needs to be taken into consideration. Be sure to use weatherproof lights and outdoor extension cords and never overload the circuits. As a general rule, the best way to do this is by not exceeding 1,400 watts on a single circuit. To ensure your festive light display doesn’t break the bank consider using LED or solar lights. These options use less wattage which means a smaller energy bill.

@newcastlepost

Another way to cut costs and care for the environment is to always remember to turn off lights before going to bed. If you’d like to leave the lights twinkling a little longer invest in a timer to ensure they don’t end up running all night. There’s plenty of fun to be had when decorating your home and with so many products on the market the only real limit is your imagination. Lights can be placed not just on the house but also around garden features like benches and railings.

Battery operated mini-lights are a good option when electricity is not available and inflatables work a treat when placed in your front yard. Don’t forget to bring the Christmas cheer indoors as well with ornaments and tree lights. Get the whole family involved and make your Christmas display the best on the street. Enjoy the festive season and make your house a highlight! And don’t forget to use social media and traditional media to spread the word!

Our next step is featuring more content inspired by you. We want to know what you want out of your local real estate magazine. Is it bigger listings? More listings? More household tips? A better rental guide? Whatever it might be, we want your thoughts.

As Property Hunter continues to grow, we’ll be able to include more fantastic related content. We’ll also be working with local real estate agents to ensure their advertising is delivering what our readers desire. So, now is your opportunity to have your say and improve our magazine.

Get a stand: Your tree won’t stand up by itself. Make sure you get it a proper stand, and not just a cheap one you’ve randomly found. The tree has to remain stable and it could be a disaster if it falls over, so get yourself a sturdy stand. Fresh: You will know if a tree is fresh if it looks shiny, green and fresh, not dry or brown. Needles should not fall off when you pull on a branch. If they do, it’s a sign the tree might not be as fresh as you think.

Email your thoughts to us at editorial@newcastlepost.com.au or drop in and see us at our office in Pearson Street, Charlestown (look for the big blue building!) If you’d prefer, you can also contact us via social media. Just search for the Post on either Facebook or Twitter and connect with us today. Wednesday 3 December 2014
