SOLIS WILL SET A NEW STANDARD IN PENRITH

Construction has officially commenced on the region’s newest residential development, Solis by Astina.

The milestone was commemorated with a ground breaking ceremony last week, attended by Member for Penrith, Stuart Ayres, and Mayor of Penrith, Tricia Hitchen.

as well as a series of exclusive penthouses and terraces on John Tipping Grove in Penrith.

Not only is the build set to be aesthetically pleasing, mimicking the natural environment with tonal colours, curved bricks, and abundant landscaping, but it will also boast a host of high-end amenities throughout.

Having seen the success of their previous development, Astina Suites, Director of Astina William Schrumpf said demand was what inspired him to turn a luxurious weekend into a lifetime.

ing the idea of ‘living on the rooftops’.

“This is one of the most architecturally impressive buildings in Penrith, or western Sydney,” he said.

“I think the fact that you’ve got two rooftop pools, on each building, plus a rooftop exercise area, plus a rooftop sauna, the amenity that’s in Solis is really something that hasn’t yet been achieved, and it’s really hotel-style living in a residential building overlooking the beautiful Blue Mountains.”

Schrumpf hopes to be setting a new standard for Penrith.

Developed in partnership with CBG Group, Solis will include lavish one-, two- and three-bedroom residences,

“We put the rooftop pool and the bar upstairs [at Astina Suites], and then we had so many people come and go, ‘How do we buy one of these apartments?’, and we had to tell them they weren’t for sale, because it’s a hotel,” he said. But, he assures that Solis is taking it to the next level when it comes to recreation, project-

“I think this is the start of a new wave of development coming through Penrith that’s ultimately driven by quality and amenity,” he said.

Solis is being built both for and by people the people of Penrith, with up to 80 per cent of suppliers and tradesmen on the project coming from the local area.

SHOWER CHOICES USE IT OR LOSE IT

Here’s a breakdown of shower types to make your selection process easier:

Ceiling Showers - a great modern look, often installed with a secondary shower outlet to offer some flexibility.

Rail Showers - need to be fixed into tiles for stability. The rail slider is adjustable, so you can adjust the height of the shower outlet.

Twin Showers - combining a ceiling shower with a rail shower – featuring an integrated diverter valve in the rail, so you can choose between both.

Handheld Showers - a shower handpiece, flexible hose and wall bracket. Provides flexibility and assists with cleaning and washing down those tricky shower areas.

Wall Showers - a wall arm and a shower rose, fixed straight to the pipework coming out of the wall.

Many Solar owners see the exported electricity on their bills as being the benefit that the system has provided and are quite often disappointed when this rate is reduced by the retailers.

In fact this is the amount of power generated but not used by the household. Therefore you are selling your Solar electricity at, for example 10 cents and buying it at night at 30 cents or more.

There are solutions, however.

Install a monitoring device that allows you to see what you are using and when. Make sure you use as much of your electricity when it’s being generated reducing your need to buy it at night or by installing a battery system to allow you to store your excess electricity for the night when you are home.

Storms are hard on a pool. The rain brings down nitrates and phosphates which are great chlorine killers and fantastic algae food.

If your pool is suffering the day after a big summer thunderstorm you need to do something very quickly as the pool can go from clear to murky green in a very short period of time.

An immediate action step is to apply a blended of chlorine and non-chlorine shock. With that apply a phosphate remover to eliminate the food that is supercharging the algae growing in your pool.

For an outdoor pool, a monthly test for phosphates is a very good idea. This will make sure the pool water doesn’t contain the important fertilisers the algae needs to grow and get out of control.

PAIN CONTINUES AS PRESSURES KEEP BITING

Just when people were starting to believe the inflation dragon was running out of puff, it is breathing fire again with consumer prices blowing out at their fastest pace for 32 years.

Some economists speculated the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) could keep official interest rates on hold at its first meeting of the year on Tuesday, February 7, but that forecast went up in flames as the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported inflation lifted to 7.8 per cent in the year to December, 2021, up from 7.3 per cent in September.

Financial markets dramatically increased the probability of a cash rate increase by the RBA to 90 per cent, from 60 per cent leading into the latest official consumer price report. The stronger-than-anticipated acceleration in annual inflation was driven by a near nine per cent jump in household power bills and a rise in domestic travel and accommodation.

Asia-Pacific economist Callam Pickering said: “The December figures were nothing short of nasty, with cost-ofliving pressures set to provide considerable hardship to households across the nation this year. Consumer prices are rising at their fastest pace since 1990. That, of course, marked our nation’s last non-pandemic recession. It’s a useful reminder

of what is at stake if we cannot control inflation soon.”

Commonwealth Bank economist Gareth Aird said the latest inflation data was the “smoking gun” for a ninth straight rate hike from 3.1 per cent to 3.35 per cent on Tuesday, while Citi chief economist Josh Williamson said “stubbornly high inflation” would likely require rates to reach 3.85 per cent by April.

With mortgage holders facing the likelihood of higher interest rates, Treasurer Jim Chalmers cannot rule out the possibility that the increase in household power bills would also accelerate further in early 2023.

But Dr Chalmers said “unacceptably high” inflation was in line with October budget forecasts, and he remains optimistic consumer price growth will moderate through this year.
