THE YARDS WELCOMES ANOTHER BIG BUSINESS

Joint venture developers Frasers Property Industrial and Aware Real Estate have secured SEKO Logistics, a global supply chain solutions specialist, on a 10-year lease at The YARDS, a premium industrial estate at Kemps Creek.

The built-to-suit 30,581 square metre facility will be SEKO Logistics’ new Australian headquarters as the company consolidates its two existing facilities.

Construction has just commenced by builder CIP Constructions. Once complete, the new facility will comprise around 30,000 square metres of modern warehouse space with 18,860 square metres of storage areas and two offices and a dock office totalling 581 square metres. The design features full drive around truck access, 13 flush loading docks and 10 recessed loading docks to support business growth.

“We are pleased to welcome SEKO Logistics to The YARDS and are proud to have secured another high quality customer to the estate,” said Roland Martin, General Manager – NSW at Frasers Property Industrial.

“Our vision for The YARDS is to create a premium industrial estate, showcasing best-in-class design, technology, operations and sustainability to help fulfill the growing demand for quality warehouse and logistics space in

the region. It’s exciting to see our vision come to life as we attract more global blue-chip brands and businesses, and we’re honoured to partner with our customers to help drive innovation, efficiency and business growth.

“This agreement takes our pre-commitment at The YARDS to over 70 per cent and we look forward to welcoming more customers over the coming months.”

Michelle McNally, Chief Executive Officer Aware Real Estate said it was a big win.

“It’s pleasing to see yet another quality global business join the community we’re creating at The YARDS, and exciting to see the momentum we’ve created as the estate progresses,” he said.

On completion, The YARDS will be home to more than 13 state-ofthe-art facilities of approximately 284,000 square metres across 77 hectares. Precinct-wide sustainability initiatives include integrated parks, walking tracks and cycle paths, extensive solar installations, water harvesting and recycling, and full electrification to facilitate a seamless transition to fossil fuel-free energy sources in the future.

Strategically located on the corner of Mamre Road and the future Southern Link Road in the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, its location offers convenient access to key transport infrastructure, including the M4 and M7, and sits within Greater Western Sydney’s sought-after industrial zone.

Penrith City Council has approved the construction of a new warehouse on Lockwood Road at Erskine Park.

Council approved the $36.7 million development by Fitzpatrick Investments last month.

It forms part of the Erskine Business Park.

The development application comprises localised earthworks to establish detail pad levels, construction of a warehouse building, access driveways, car parking, loading dock aprons, retaining walls, landscaping, stormwater drainage infrastructure and provision of utility services.

The warehouse building comprises two tenancies with a GFA of 15,419m2 (Warehouse 1) and 13,350m2 (Warehouse 2) and ancillary two storey offices are 770m2 and 300m2 respectively.

The car parking areas for staff and visitors on site has two entry/exit points and provides for 146 car parking spaces in two separate park-

ing areas. The hardstand area which will be used for loading/unloading goods has two entry/exit points and can accommodate up to 18 large vehicles at any one time. The hardstand area will be covered by a projecting awning which will provide weatherproof conditions for the safe and dry handling/storage of goods, reduce the effects of urban heat and designing for the impact of climate change by removing the

box gutter typical in canter levered awnings. The new warehouse will be located at 93 Lockwood Road, also known as 68 Lockwood Road.

HOUSING MARKET STAYS STRONG, DEFIES CRITICS

Official statistics highlight how the Australian housing market has remained strong despite doomsayer predictions of a price collapse due to the impact of interest rate rises and steep increases in the cost-of-living.

The latest residential property data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showed the total combined value of Australian housing rose to $10 trillion in the June quarter, up $325 billion from March, after taking a hit during 2022 as the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) started lifting official interest rates from the record low of 0.1 per cent to their current level of 4.1 per cent.

According to the ABS, the average price of residential dwellings rose by a further $25,200 in just three months, bringing the value to $912,700 per home. NSW had the highest median dwelling

price at approximately $1.2 million, up $41,600 from three months ago. This is all good news if you own property or are thinking of selling, although in some cases you may be coming off a low fixed interest rate home

loan and struggling to cope with repayments with a much higher variable interest rate.

Amid this setting, the traditional busy spring selling season has come early in some markets with new listings over August up 20 per cent in certain cities.

Nicola Powell, chief of research and economics at Domain, said the increase in stock reflects the fact buyers and sellers are growing more confident that interest rate increases by the RBA have peaked, with inflation looking to be under control.

Powell believes fear of missing out in the market and strong population growth thanks to big boosts in immigration can keep prices rising.

But Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy and chief economist at AMP, said one concern was the impact of the interest rate rises had yet to be fully felt, with borrowing capacity for some reduced by 30 per cent due to higher rates.

“People can’t borrow anywhere near as much as they could. This is still hanging over the market,” he said.

DO YOU REALLY NEED TO BUY AN EBOOK READER?

As a person with a technology bent, I like my eBook reader. I have an older Kindle Paperwhite. Over the weekend, I tried to convince a friend that they should get an eBook reader; I confidently proclaimed they were the best thing ever. They raised several valid points worth considering before investing in one. Please don’t get me wrong; eBook readers have a lot of advantages. They are small, portable, and can hold hundreds of books. Most are now waterproof and, to a degree, drop-proof. You get access to books from alternative, less mainstream authors. So, for the sake of this article, I’m presenting an alternate view.

Their first point hit a bullseye. They asked me how many books I had sitting unread on books are at the top of the gift list. I have years’ worth of reading

Their next point was the

technical, eBook readers also have a shelf life. The battery stops keeping its charge, you drop it, get it wet, or the screen is no

$1000 I have spent. If on a budget, purchasing a $300 device does not make much sense.

While these two, in my eyes, were the main arguments, we did discuss a few more. I do agree with this next one. Who doesn’t like the feeling of holding a brand-new book in their hands? There’s something special about the physical book experience, turning the pages, smelling the ink, that can’t be replicated with an eBook reader. There is also the collectability of books. I have proudly on display my Tom Clancy book collection. My digital copies of The Grey Man series just aren’t the same.

Some people don’t like the technology or may get eye strain from eBook readers. Then there is the fact that books bought on one reader cannot be read on another brand. It’s also harder to share a book with a friend or partner, meaning it might have to be bought twice. And let’s not forget you could go to the library and get a book on loan for free.

The Experts

A personalised approach

Physiotherapy has emerged as a vital component of Parkinson’s disease management. The role of physiotherapists goes beyond simple exercise routines. They develop treatment plans that address specific symptoms and challenges faced by each patient. These plans incorporate various techniques aimed at improving mobility, posture, balance, and overall physical wellbeing.

son’s also affects mood, cognition, and overall well-being. This makes it a multifaceted condition that requires a holistic approach.

One of the primary goals of physiotherapy in Parkinson’s is to enhance mobility. Gait disturbances and freezing of gait are common issues in Parkinson’s patients. Physiotherapists work on gait training, helping patients regain a smoother, more confident stride. They also focus on exercises that target muscle strength and flexibility to combat the rigidity and slowness of movement associated with the disease.

Balance and posture

Maintaining balance and

posture can be particularly challenging for Parkinson’s patients. Physiotherapists employ exercises and techniques that improve core strength and stability, reducing the risk of falls. Simple activities like practicing getting in and out of chairs or working on balance exercises can make a significant difference.

Beyond the physical Physiotherapy in Parkinson’s disease management isn’t limited to physical aspects. It can also address emotional and psychological wellbeing. By engaging in regular physiotherapy sessions, patients often experience improved mood, reduced anxiety, and a greater sense of control over their condition.

HOT WEATHER A REMINDER TO

As the weather heats up this week, the risk of heat stroke in pets rises. Heat stroke is a syndrome that occurs when an animal’s body temperature exceeds 40 degrees – this can cause problems with blood clotting and organ function. Heat stroke can result in shock, internal bleeding, organ failure and eventual death.

Cats and dogs are very different to humans because they cannot sweat from their skin. In humans, air circulating past sweaty skin cools the blood internally, so a person can still function on a 45-degree day. Dogs and cats only sweat through their foot pads, and with their bodies covered in fur, they cannot easily cool down. Animals will pant, to try

OUR PETS COOL

and cool their internal body temperature but this is not very effective in extreme weather conditions. Dog breeds with short noses have a reduced ability to cool themselves with panting. Small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs are also very susceptible to heat stroke, especially if kept in outdoor enclosures.

As with children, DO NOT leave pets in cars, even briefly, especially in the warmer months. The internal temperature of a car can rapidly reach extreme temperatures greater than 50 degrees. Exercise naturally heats a dog and they cannot cool well when the ambient temperature is warm. Never let a dog do strenuous exercise when the temperature is above 25 degrees. It is sensible to only exercise dogs early

in the morning, or in the cool of evening during warmer months. If extreme temperatures are predicted, providing areas of shade or the cool of under the house will help. When temperatures greater than 40 degrees are predicted, leaving pets indoors with air condi-

tioning is the best option. If this is not possible, then you can provide a child’s wading pool or plastic shell (left in a shady area) with only a few centimetres of water for dogs to lie in. Freezing water filled plastic bottles and placing them at the bottom of pet beds can also help cool

down resting pets. Dogs will often enjoy drinking water from a large ice block as it melts over the day. This can be done by freezing water in a four-litre ice cream container. For rabbits and guinea pigs provide multiple watering devices – preferably dripper bottles so they do not get knocked over or dirty.

If you think your dog has heat stress immediate veterinary attention is vital. Treatment includes safely cooling the patient, supporting with IV fluids and antibiotics. Additional treatment like plasma transfusions and support of organ function may be required. Some animals will die despite treatment. If you have any questions about preventing heat stress, call the Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital.

KEEP

IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy Pearce

Each year at Christmas time, it’s not the lights, presents or tree that I’m looking forward to most – it’s the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked palettes.

Recently, Hourglass officially revealed the highly anticipated 2023 collection, including three palettes with everything you need for a full face of makeup.

Whilst they’re not available in Australia yet, they’re notoriously difficult to get your hands on, so it’s important to have a good idea of what you’re after.

Here’s everything you need to know:

What’s included in this year’s collection?

Hourglass has announced that this year’s collection will include three palettes – Jellyfish, Leopard and Snake – with a fourth packaging design available for customisation on

the Hourglass website. The palettes include a mix of new and existing shades, and cater for a wider range of skin tones than ever before.

Ambient Lighting Edit

Unlocked Jellyfish

The lightest of the three palettes, and likely the one I’ll be looking to pick up this Christmas, is the Jellyfish palette.

The palette includes three bestselling shades – two finishing powders and one blush – along with three new shades of blush, bronzer, and highlighter. Skewing a little bit cooler than the other palettes, especially with the mauve blush, the Jellyfish palette would be best suited to those with fair and cool toned skin.

Ambient Lighting Edit

Unlocked Leopard

The Leopard palette is the one I believe will be the most popular when the three make their way to Australia.

The palette has five bestselling shades – one finishing powder, two blushes, one bronzer, and one highlighter – along with one brand-new shade of blush.

Being the middle palette in

terms of depth, the Leopard palette looks to be the most versatile of the three.

Because it has so many repeated shades, I wouldn’t recommend this to someone who has previous palettes or shades at home.

However, it would be the perfect way to get a taste of what the brand can do.

Ambient Lighting Edit

Unlocked Snake

Lastly, we have the Snake palette – the deepest of the three, and the one with the most new shades.

The Snake palette includes Ambient Lighting Powder in Radiant Light, along with five new shades of blush, bronzer, and highlighter.

Pulling a little bit warmer than the others, this one would be best suited to those with darker skin tones, or with a

warm undertone. The new blush Sun Beam is one of my favourites from the entire collection!

How much are they, and are they worth it?

Whilst we won’t know the exact price until they hit the shelves at Mecca, these palettes are going for $90 USD each on the Hourglass website. As someone who still has and regularly uses palettes from three previous years, I would consider these to be an investment. They’re a big part of my daily makeup routine no matter the occasion, and their convenience has made them perfect for travelling.

Will these be filling a hole in your collection? Will you use the palettes enough to make the price worth it?

If you answered yes, then I cannot recommend these enough.

anticipated line-up of palettes for Christmas

Relax & Unwind

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

This week, restless Uranus and the fiery Full Moon boost your bohemian side and your adventurous nature. You’re itching to explore! But avoid being too recklessly impulsive (especially on Friday) otherwise you could find yourself involved in an argument, accident, financial fiasco or domestic drama. Astute Aquarians will choose creative problem solving over unpredictable shenanigans, as you slow down and think things through before proceeding.

TAURUS

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

Expect an emotional rollercoaster ride this week Taurus, as disruptive Uranus stirs up problems in a partnership or unpredictable moods at home. And you may have to deal with a gob-smacking surprise that really rocks your world! So be patient and avoid making any important long-term decisions until things settle down. The weekend looks promising, as the universe provides an opportunity for you to do something creative or learn something new.

LEO

JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23

The sparks are set to fly as Venus (in your sign) plus temperamental Uranus and the fiery Full Moon all amp up your feisty side. Expect some annoying frustrations and delays on Friday, especially involving a personal project or a work matter. You’ll have to dig deep to find a quality that you usually have in short supply … patience. Monday and Saturday are the best days to push an ambitious project ahead with renewed motivation and plenty of Leo passion.

SCORPIO

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

You’re keen to power ahead with a romantic relationship, a business partnership or a joint venture. But expect some disruptions as Uranus upsets the apple cart. Don’t stress Scorpio! Review your approach and reassess your plans. The Full Moon fires up your wellbeing zone, so it’s a good week to exercise, hit the gym, play sport, participate in a Fun Run or enjoy bushwalking. As birthday great Olivia Newton-John reminds us, “Let’s Get Physical!”

PISCES

You could be walking on a financial or communication tightrope this week! With the Sun, Mars and the fiery Full Moon stirring up your money and intimacy zones, you’re primed for a spontaneous spending spree or a relationship glitch. In order to avoid messy problems, make sure you pause before you spend … and think before you speak. The Mercury/Jupiter/Uranus trines encourage being proactive and inventive within your local community.

GEMINI

MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

This week is all about learning, education and communication as your ruler Mercury links up with clever Jupiter and curious Uranus. It’s also time to dream big as Friday’s fiery Full Moon activates your hopes, dreams and wishes zone. Be inspired by real life Superman, birthday great Christopher Reeve, “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable. And then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”

VIRGO

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23

Virgos love things to run smoothly but there’s unpredictable planetary energy about this week and carefully laid plans could veer off in unexpected directions. Which could be wonderful or stressful, depending on the circumstances. Whatever happens, drop the perfectly planned schedule, and go with the flow. When it comes to money matters, joint finances, taxes or trust issues, avoid being uncharacteristically rash. Slow down and take a second look.

SAGITTARIUS

NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

There are two ‘lucky’ aspects this week. Jupiter (your power planet) trines Mercury, which gives you the gift of the gab and is particularly good for work involving writing, teaching, performing, publishing and public relations. And then Uranus trines Mercury, which is fabulous for original ideas and exciting new friendships. Throw in a fiery Full Moon and you’re set for an actionpacked, stimulating week! If you want to last the distance, pace yourself.

It’s a terrific time to travel, teach, publish, study, nurture a close relationship, learn something new or share an adventure with someone special. Plus keep yourself mentally sharp and physically strong. Then you can bounce back from any stressful setbacks that come along. There’s a fiery Full Moon in Aries on Friday, so do your best to get the ratio right between personal requirements and relationship responsibilities. The buzz word for the week is Balance.

CANCER

JUNE 22 TO JULY 22

It’s Full Moon week! Time to connect with colleagues and clients at work, plus family and friends from within your local community as you talk, text, tweet, publish, podcast or post up a storm. Other people are expecting you to come up with some clever ideas and smart solutions so put on your thinking cap Crabs! And don’t persist with outdated old ways of doing things. Be proactive about initiating exciting, adventurous and creative new strategies.

LIBRA

S EPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

Unpredictable Uranus is disrupting relationships or finances, so tread gingerly with a sulky partner, an unreliable lover, a grumpy house mate, a frustrated family member or a cranky client. The more diplomatic you are, the less stressful the week will be. Don’t let other people deter your ambitions or derail your dreams! Be inspired by Libran birthday great, actor and disability rights activist Christopher Reeve, “Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. Don’t sell out.”

CAPRICORN

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

The Sun and Mars are both moving through your career zone, which boosts your capacity for hard work and your ability to lead others. But don’t do so at the expense of your home and family life. The Full Moon highlights the importance of getting the balance right between professional success and domestic harmony. Be inspired by writer

A. A. Milne, “You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.

To complete Sudoku, fill the board by entering numbers 1 to 9 such that each row, column and 3x3 box contains every number uniquely.

Don’t let the guitar hit you on the way out Maren Morris (pictured) has quit country music, though it’s hardly a surprise to anyone who’s followed

display,” she told the Los Angeles Times in an interview.

“It just revealed who people really were and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic.”

Morris has had beef with numerous country artists in recent times and the industry has started to distance itself from her.

It’s a huge shame given the impact Morris had on the genre when hits like ‘My Church’ landed a few years ago.

Country’s rise is unlikely to be all that impacted by the departure of Morris, who also re-named her fan club this week to the ‘lunatics’.
