ILLAWARRA LIFE

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Playgrounds Upgrade for Cordeaux Heights and Dapto Work will begin this month on two playground renewals in Cordeaux Heights and Dapto. The playgrounds at Sheargold Park in Cordeaux Heights and at Kundle Street Reserve in Dapto are being replaced as part of Council’s 2015-2016 Capital Works Program. The refurbished playgrounds will have new swings, slides, a climbing frame and monkey bars. Work on Sheargold Park will start today, Wednesday 13 January 2016, while fences have gone up at Kundle Street Reserve today ahead of work that is scheduled to start next week. The works are linked to Council’s Play Wollongong Strategy which developed a vision for the city’s play spaces, and included a commitment that well maintained, high quality place spaces would be distributed across the local government area. The work on the playgrounds at Sheargold Park and Kundle Street Reserve is expected to take about three weeks, provided there is good weather.

Public Inquiry into the proposed Wollongong and Shellharbour City Councils merger Details have been published on the NSW Council Boundary Review website of the dates and times the public inquiry for the proposed merger of Wollongong and Shellharbour Councils. The date is: Tuesday 2 February 2016 The Shellharbour Club, Cnr Wattle and Shellharbour Roads, Shellharbour, 9am-12noon The Sage Hotel, Wollongong, 60062 Harbour Street, Wollongong, 3-5pm and 7-10pm

“Under a merged council, this significant injection of funding is likely to be used to prop up major projects in Wollongong that have a funding shortfall, such as access to West Dapto,” she said. “The planning of our city has attracted the investment of both large companies and small businesses that boost local employment and offer a range of services. “This merger threatens us as a community and we need to stand up and fight to protect what we have,” Cr Saliba said. The community rally will be held at 2pm, Saturday 30 January at Reddall Reserve, Lake Illawarra near the kiosk on the eastern side of the Windang Bridge.

Wollongong Harbour will be awash with family-friendly events this Australia Day and aglow in the evening with a spectacular fireworks display over Belmore Basin. Wollongong City Lord Mayor Councillor Gordon Bradbery OAM is encouraging all family and community members to visit and enjoy the many activities, bands, and magicians on this day. “We’ll begin with the annual Australia Day Aquathon from 8am,” Cr Bradbery said. “Or be a ‘Bear’ and visit the Scouts Illawarra area, or try out the Mobile Laser Skirmish. There will also be a surfing academy and a sand sculpture event. The day will be full of surprises, such as the Quiet Riot Silent Disco Truck or the roving street entertainment and a special display in the evening as part of the fireworks display.”

Clifton Scarborough

The day’s highlight is the annual fireworks display. Thousands of people are expected to line the foreshore area to watch the impressive show at 9pm.

“Australia Day is a wonderful event and I encourage community members to stroll or ride public transport to Belmore Basin where they can take part in the fun and activities. I’d also remind people that Council is working with the NSW Police on this event and anti-social behaviour or the consumption of alcohol will not be tolerated,” Cr Bradbery said.

Scott is a long time active ambassador for the locally based The Kidzwish Foundation and his Wollongongbased company nurtures some of the wonderful performers based in the Illawarra.

“Our community has a lot to lose in the proposed merging of Councils, which would see Shellharbour City become just suburbs in a larger Local Government Area,” said Mayor Marianne Saliba.

Coalcliff

Bands such as Latin Power, Great Southern Band, The Beat Meisters and 19Twenty will perform. While there will be a number of entertainers, magicians, story tellers on the children’s stage in Osborn Park from 12 noon to 6pm.

Registrations close at 12 noon on Friday 29 January. Registrations can be made online through www. councilboundaryreview.nsw.gov.au or by calling 1300 813 020.

Members of the community are driving a campaign to join with Councillors to stand against the state government’s merger proposal.

Stanwell Park

Activities for the family include busker performances, the air show, as well as a variety of musicians and bands on the main stage in Lang Park.

The 2016 Australia Day Ambassador for the city is Scott Radburn. Born in Wollongong, Scott has been entertaining crowds the world over.

Shellharbour City residents are invited to join a community rally to oppose the proposed merger of their Council with Wollongong.

The public inquiry is part of the Delegate’s process to examine and report on the proposed merger announced by the NSW State Government late last year. The inquiry provides members of the public with an opportunity to attend and share their opinion on the State Government’s proposed merger with the Delegate.

Shark sightings close two Illawarra beaches

Albion Park

Two beaches have reopened in the Illawarra after 15 hammerhead sharks were spotted.

Shellharbour

The Aerial Patrol sighted the sharks off Port Kembla and Stanwell Park beaches around midday on Wednesday.

Shell Cove

Wollongong Council closed the beaches and around 80 people were evacuated from the water. “We would lose our independence, our right to elect those who represent us and our ability to influence decisions that impact on us daily,” Cr Saliba said. “We are a proud community, supported by a local Council with a history of making proactive decisions that see us financially and socially sustainable into the future,” she said.

The council’s coordinator of beach services Jason Foye said swimmers were allowed back into the surf around an hour later. Source: ABC News

PROPERTY FOCUS

MARKET view The market still remains quiet as is the norm in January in the Illawarra. A perfect example of this is only 2 auctions went ahead last week and sales were not registered at either.

the Illawarra. The IBC feels that this would reduce red tape for small business and make the management of local government more efficient for the entire Illawarra.

Median house prices (3 bed) for the month of January sit at $528,500, whilst in the past week the median has been $510,250, a decline since December which is expected at the quietest time of the year. Median unit prices (2 bed) currently sit at $528,500 for the month of January. In the past week the median has sat at $510,250 which is a significant increase on the prices seen in December.

The merger process will be open to public review on February 2 with public meetings being held in Wollongong and Shellharbour.

Rental prices also remain competitive with current prices standing at $465 for a house and $360 for a unit, in contrast the combined average for rental prices in capital cities standing at $486 and $464 for units. Whilst 2015 was a very aggressive market, where buyers and leasers needed to make decisions very quickly, 2016 is shaping up to be a little quieter. Economists are tipping this as we will see a large amount of development properties hitting the market in the early part of this year along with many foreign investors pulling out of the market due to international regulatory restrains. The types of properties that will remain desirable in 2016 will be holiday homes and homes for retirement. There is increasing demand for domestic travel as the Australian dollar weakens internationally. Therefore we will see many families opting to invest in holiday accommodation in coastal communities such as the Illawarra. We will also see people coming to retirement age seeking to purchase the home they will retire to now to take advantage of the quiet market, with a view to leasing the property until such time that they are reading to put their feet up. Again in this situation coastal communities that have easy access to Sydney are a strong focus. Much is changing in the Illawarra with the process continuing to amalgamate Wollongong and Shellharbour City councils. In the past week the Illawarra Business Chamber (IBC) has also announced their pitch to create a ‘super council.’ The current plan of the government is to amalgamate Wollongong with Shellharbour City and Kiama Council to Shoalhaven, but in an interesting move the IBC has flagged the idea of amalgamating Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama councils to create 1 super council to cover all of

This week has also seen a blow to education and development in the region with the announcement that the Dapto campus of TAFE will close with Institute Director, Di Murray, saying that final staff will leave the campus on January 22nd. Local government officials have made claims that the government has worked purposefully to shut the campus down by cutting courses, running the campus down, and forcing students to enrol elsewhere. In the property market close and easy access to major educational facilities such as TAFE does much for property prices and desirability. In 2016, Shellharbour city is tipped by many economists and property observers as a city to watch. Shellharbour and surrounds are tipped to continue to benefit from the Sydney market spill-over. Greater focus in the area to educational and medical facilities tying together with the coastal setting will see the region very desirable in the next 12 months. Having key infrastructure like the Dapto TAFE closed down will not help in this endeavour. The demand in the Illawarra rises continually with new business and employment opportunities arising every day. No greater example of this is the recent figures released by the NSW Valuer General, which show significant increases the commercial and industrial land in the Illawarra over the past 12 months. Shellharbour showed at 10.7% increase in commercial land, with a new median price of $332,000. Shellharbour also enjoyed the year’s biggest residential land value increase. Industrial land rose by 12.5% to a median of $415,000. Wollongong commercial land rose to $424,000, a 13.4% increase over the same time the previous year. Industrial land also enjoyed a significant increase of 13.6% to $466,000. Kiama also enjoyed increases for both commercial and industrial land in the past 12 months. Kiama commercial increased by 17.4% to $526,000. Commercial property increased by 10% to 551,500.

I’m about to buy an apartment, what’s this strata thing?

the resale value and its saleability. Strata levies can also vary significantly from strata to strata so do not assume that they are all alike.

There is a lot of excitement when buying a home. But when people are buying an apartment for the first time many have no idea what ‘Strata’ is, what it does and how it affects them.

An additional expense that you may incur is the ‘Sinking Fund’. This fund is set up by the body corporate or strata manager to cover any major large scale repairs or maintenance costs of common areas.

Strata is an Australian invention that has been used around the world in property law. Essentially Strata title allows individuals to own part of a property and a share ownership in the remainder of the property (i.e. the ‘common areas’, driveways, gardens etc). The types of properties that are strata titled can include: • Units/Apartments • Duplexes • Townhouses, or • Villas

Restrictions: Property owners within a strata system are restricted on works/renovations that they can perform within their own property. Major structural renovations are generally banned as they may affect the overall property of neighbouring properties. The ownership of pets may also be banned and/or permission may have to be requested from the body corporate for a pet to be allowed in the property. Restrictions may also extend to the outward appearance of the property; some strata policies restrict what type of fencing, blinds, screening etc that can be used even in your private property.

The bylaws or rules of a strata title are management, usually, by a Body Corporate or Strata Manager and as such they take care of the common areas of the overall property. The important thing to remember is that strata bylaws are legally enforceable and high penalties can apply if you break the rules and do not heed warnings.

Whilst owners do own a share in the common areas they are not free to use those areas in any way they wish. The strata places restrictions on what can and cannot be done in those areas. For instant it may be restricted on the use of visitors parking, animals in the area, hanging out washing, smoking etc.

Here are some things to know about strata before buying a unit or apartment.

Fair Trading:

Strata costs: When you purchase into a strata you need to pay strata levies. These levies are then used for the up-keep of the common areas. Strata levies are very important you should be fully across what is included in yours before you agree as they can greatly affect

NSW Fair trading oversees the legislative reforms to strata law and management. If you have any questions or concerns you should look to the NSW Fair Trading website.
