omebuyers now have 31 new opportunities to buy in Glenmore Park’s Mulgoa Rise estate, with the release of additional home sites on Pinnacle Ridge.

Blocks ranging from 450 squaremetres to 730 square-metres are now available on the ridge, which is one of the area’s highest points and boasts views of both the Blue Mountains and the Penrith district.

These 31 sites are in addition to the 310 home sites already released in the neighbourhood and come as a result of a high demand from homebuyers looking to settle in the area.

“Pinnacle Ridge offers some of the best land to be released in Mulgoa Rise with a wide range of block sizes, most with great views, and some with a unique outlook onto a bushland reserve,” said Mulpha Norwest General Manager, Tim Spencer.

Upon completion, Mulgoa Rise will be home to 600 families, have its own sporting field and park as well as proposed neighbourhood shops and a school.

In addition, the area is in close proximity to golf courses, lakes, rivers and the Mulgoa Nature Reserve while still being just a short drive from Glenmore Park shopping centre, Westfield

Penrith, an abundance of eating and shopping opportunities, and public transport opportunities.

There are a number of preschools and childcare centres close by, as well as both public and private schools.

Mulgoa Rise is being developed

by Mulpha Norwest, developers of the Norwest Business Park, Bella Vista Waters, Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast, Hayman Island and the Intercontinental Hotel.

Small saving goes a long way for families F

amilies building new homes can save $800 under new arrangements for approvals in bushfireprone areas, the State Government has announced.

Minister for Planning Pru Goward and Minister for Emergency Services Stuart Ayres were joined by Member for Mulgoa Tanya Davies at Mulgoa Rise to make the announcement.

The changes remove the need for local home-builders to do an assessment of bushfire risk when they lodge their development application to build if the Rural Fire Service (RFS) has undertaken an upfront assessment of bushfire risk at the subdivision stage.

Currently, those building homes on bushfire-prone subdivisions have to undertake their own assessment even if the RFS has previously given the subdivision the tick of approval, adding approximately $800 to the cost of building a new home.

The changes will only be allowed if strict conditions are met, including that the land is not at high risk of bushfire; a Post-Subdivision Bushfire Attack Level certificate from the RFS has been issued; and the authority in charge of approving the new home, such as the local council, is satisfied the building complies with any conditions that have been put in place by the RFS. “This is good news for local

families who now have the choice of having detailed bushfire assessments completed up front, meaning local home-builders no longer need to worry about lodging an individual bushfire report if strict conditions are met,” Mrs Davies said.

Currently bushfire-prone land maps of new release areas are updated every five years by local councils meaning they may not always be accurate.

“We all know the costs of building a new home can add up, and that’s why as a Government we are determined to drive those costs down to save families money, by removing duplication without compromising safety,” Mr Ayres added.

The announced changes will mean the RFS can now directly update these maps when required ensuring their accuracy with the most up-to-date information.

“$800 might not sound like a lot, but ask any family building their new home and they will tell you that at the end of the day even saving a small amount can go a long way,” Mrs Davies said when making the announcement.

The changes only apply to land in urban release areas in 40 local government areas and will not affect development in existing subdivisions in bushfire prone areas.

Bits&Pieces The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has welcomed this week’s decision by the Building Minister’s Forum to deliver the National Construction Code, which includes the Building Code of Australia (BCA), free online from 2015. “Today’s decision is a win for common sense and a significant outcome for cutting red tape in housing.

Having access to the building code is a necessity for everyone in the building industry,” said HIA’s Kristin Brookfield, Senior Executive Director, Building Development & Environment.

“The building code should always have been freely available online in the same manner as other state and territory regulation.”

QUT and real estate leader

PRDnationwide have agreed on a very strong new partnership that will give students real-world real estate industry experience while studying for a brand new degree.

The agreement will see PRDnationwide support the delivery and assessment of USB240, a unit for second year students studying a Bachelor of Property Economics, a new degree program which commenced at QUT this year.

With investors currently accounting for more than one in every four loans written, it is fair to say this market segment is booming.

According to data from Mortgage Choice, investors currently account for almost 30 per cent of all home loans written – higher than previous years.

It goes to show this really is an investors’ market at the moment.

Local Mortgage Choice franchise owner Rob Lees said it is unsurprising to see an increasing number of investors entering the property market given that interest rates are currently hovering around record lows and property prices are on the rise.

“Research conducted by RP Data found dwelling values climbed 11.5 per cent across the combined capital cities over the last calendar year, while rental yields grew 2.3 per cent,” he said.

Penrith is well and truly an investment hot spot, with a number of big sales recently.

Cambridge Park

Old is good One of the Penrith area’s oldest established suburbs, Cambridge Park is a hub for families and older residents

16

Western Property Magazine

C

ambridge Park is located in the northern section of the City of Penrith.

Cambridge Park is an older established suburb of residential housing on larger blocks.

It is located north of Kingswood and Werrington.

The smaller satellite suburbs of Cambridge Gardens, Werrington Downs and Werrington County are located to its north.

Cambridge Park continued as a rural area for many years after the original land grant St Stephens was subdivided in the 1880s.

By 1970, the area was populated and settled with urban housing.

Cambridge Park is a dynamic suburb of Penrith with easy access to the many facilities in the City.

It features close access to private and public schooling and an international sports stadium for basketball.

@wwpenrith

2747 Its most famous visitor was Hilary Clinton in September 2000.

Phillip Parker King, son of Governor King, named his 1500 acre grant of 1831 St Stephens.

However he spent little time on the estate which was used to raise cattle and breed stud horses.

The property was subdivided as Cambridge Park into farmlets in December 1884, but despite promotion of the area in the Nepean Times of December 6, as ‘within 5 minutes walk of the Four Cross Roads Platform near Penrith and suitable for vineyards and orchards’, development was very sluggish.

The land was sold privately under Torrens title and needed one pound deposit and ten shillings a month in repayment.

It wasn’t until the mid twentieth century that the rural nature of the area was changed.

It was gazetted as a suburb of Penrith in 1970.

Many of the streets of Cambridge Park are named after famous people or those who had a significant impact on the local area.

Besley Street was named after George Besley who was Mayor of Penrith from 1883 to 1884. He also had a coach building business in Penrith.

Breyley Street was named after the Breyley family who lived on a small farm in the area. One son was a local photographer.

Cambridge Street was named like many streets in Cambridge Park after towns and cities in England.

Neeta Avenue was named after Neeta Homes housing developers.

Without a doubt, the Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre is the highlight venue in the area.

Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre (formerly Penrith Sports Stadium) has stepped into a new era as a multipurpose indoor sports complex.

With an ever growing need for quality sports venues, Penrith now has a truly high class indoor complex that will suit the needs of all indoor sporting and recreational activities.

Cambridge Park is mainly made up of families and older residents, and maintains its traditional suburban feel.

It is an established, lovable and quiet suburb that really is one of Penrith’s hidden gems.

ambridge Park was established in 1831 with the first land grant. At a later stage in 1880 it was divided into smaller blocks for family farming. The area over many years has grown in my opinion to be a safe and happy place to raise a family.

I have lived in the local area for over 20 years now, I have attended

both Cambridge Park High School and Cambridge Park Public School and my experience was delightful. Calling myself a local member is something I can say I am quite proud of as I have personally watched this area transform.

As many locals have seen, the area is now starting to take a new shape as most of the larger blocks are being developed into

townhouses or villa style living.

This is increasing our population and I personally welcome all new residents to the area.

Wiseberry Penrith has some excellent homes coming onto the market over the next few weeks so keep your eye out.

If you are looking at buying or selling contact my office today for our assistance.

Around your place

Get growing!

Ever wanted to grow your own vegetables? It’s not that hard, and you can start almost immediately!

Variable rates are in demand With a growing number of lenders offering significant variable rate discounts, it is unsurprising to see demand for this type of loan product back on the rise.

According to Mortgage Choice’s 26

Western Property Magazine

Tips to get your loan Be honest: Credit checks take place so make sure you are honest when it comes to your credit and financial situation, as you will come unstuck if you are not truthful.

Plus, it’s illegal to lie!

Be prepared: The banks won’t say yes to your loan until they have all the documents they need. So why not prepare in advance to avoid delays? Get your pay slips ready, your credit card statements and anything else you think your bank may ask for.

Don’t be forgetful: Remember that spare credit card you have for emergencies? It’ll be on your credit file so don’t forget to declare it or you could get yourself into some trouble.

T

here are many advantages to growing your own vegetables; it’s convenient, cost effective and a good way to get some healthy, nutritious ingredients into your meals. But for people who are restricted with space, or don’t want the commitment of a large veggie patch, there are plenty of small space options so that you too can enjoy growing your own food.

The team at Zanui have come up with some tips on what to think about before you start to sprout your own greens.

Firstly, rather than focusing on lack of space, take note of the space you do have. There are plenty of hidden areas around the home that you can utilise, like windowsills, kitchen benchtops, stairs and paths. Or why not follow the trend of vertical gardens or hanging planters. When you think outside the square you’ll most likely find a few spots where

@wwpenrith

you can house your little veggie babies.

Once you’ve found a good spot be sure to look at the climate.

Is the area classed as full sun (6 hours of sun), part shade (3-6 hours of sun) or full shade (under 3 hours of sun). When you know the answer to this you can start to source plants that work best in that environment. In general fruits require full sun while your nutritious green leafy veggies are best in full shade.

Now you have the location and the plant all you need is something to house it in. There are plenty of options depending on the size and shape of the space

you are working with. You could try using mason jars, railing planters or hanging planters. Whatever will work best in your home.

And of course remember to maintain moist soil with rainwater to keep your plants thriving.

Be sure not to let the soil become dry as this can cause damage to the plant.

Finally don’t get too discouraged if your plants don’t survive the first time around. It may require a bit of trial and error but you will get there in the end. If you need more help visit your local nursery or gardening supplier. For more style tips for your home visit www.zanui.com.au.

latest home loan approval figures, demand for variable rate products climbed 0.62 per cent over the month of May to reach 74.13 per cent.

“Australia’s lenders are hungry for business and they have been offering some sensational variable rate discounts in a bid to attract borrowers and grow their

market share,” Mortgage Choice spokesperson Jessica Darnbrough said. “We have seen some lenders offering discounts of up to 1.3 per cent and even 1.4 per cent off the standard variable rate. We haven’t seen this level of discounting for some time, so it is no surprise to see the popularity of variable rate products on the rise.”

Shop around: While banks and lenders use the same general rules when it comes to your loan, some are easier than others to deal with. Some have better rates, some have better conditions.

Make sure you shop around.

Get your home loan at the place that suits you and your circumstances.

New South Wales led the charge, with demand for variable rate products jumping 7.25 per cent over the month of May to sit at 73.65 per cent.

Meanwhile, variable rate products remained incredibly popular in both Western Australia and South Australia, with huge demand in both states.
