Peta’s goals reignited with comeback

AFTER a short break, Peta Waterman, wife offormer West Coast Eagle Chris Waterman, isreturning to real estate.

Now based at Acton North in City Beach, Petajoined Acton Mandurah in a businessdevelopment role last year when Chris took on

the role of coach of Peel Thunder.She stepped back from real estate briefly when

the family moved back to Perth and Chrisbecame coach of Subiaco.

“I love selling and have missed it over the lastyear,” she said.

“Now that the kids are older and Chris iscoaching locally I can focus on my career. I'mreally looking forward to working with the Actongroup, they have a fantastic name and are verywell-respected.”

Acton North director Scott Stanley said Peta’s

sporting background gave her an excellentgrounding for sales.

“She is a people person and a team player, yetvery competitive. Her drive and energy guaranteeshe will be successful,” he said.

A talented sportswoman, Peta played netballfor the Orioles in 1999 and 2000, before retiringto focus on motherhood.

She continued to play at State league level withthe Coastal Sharks, stopping in 2007 after aninjury. ■

Wife of former West CoastEagle Chris Waterman is lookingforward to the challenge.

MANY owners of higher density properties such as townhouses and apartments in Perth do not realise that newgovernment rules relating to Residual Current Devices(RCDs) and smoke alarms apply to them as well as ownersof stand-alone properties.

According to Home Owners Utility Services (HOUS)managing director Todd Allender, a large number ofemergency callouts conducted by his company found a largenumber of rental properties, in particular, still did not haveRCD devices.

“The Western Australian Government implementednew RCD regulations in August 2009,’’ he said.

“This new legislation applies to people selling theirhomes, and landlords.

“Every home sold or leased now needs to be fitted witha minimum of two RCDs, which should protect all powerpoint and lighting circuits.

“HOUS is finding that many owners of high densityrental properties do not realise that when a new tenanttakes up residency, landlords need to install the devicesbefore the lease agreement is signed, and for homes with acontinuing tenancy, landlords have until August 8, 2011, tofit the RCDs.”

Mr Allender said the latest Census revealed that 24.7 percent, or around one in four properties in Perth, are rentalproperties and many of these rental homes are higher

density properties such as apartments.“The landlords of these properties either assume that

the legislation does not apply to them or that it is a matterto be dealt with the strata company managing thecomplex,’’ he said.

“From October 1, 2009, mains powered smoke alarmsmust be fitted in all existing residential buildings prior tosale and when a new tenancy agreement is signed for rentalproperties.

“If there are no tenancy changes in rental properties,then mains powered smoke alarms must be fitted byOctober 1, 2011.

“Further to this, HOUS recommends that onlyphotoelectric smoke alarms are used and not the cheaperionisation type.”

Failure to comply with this legislation can result insignificant financial penalties for landlords.

More detailed information in relation to the newrequirements for smoke alarms can be found atwww.fesa.wa.gov.au.

More detailed information in relation to the newrequirements for RCDs can be found at www.commerce.wa.gov.au ■

Every home or apartment, sold orleased, now needs to be fittedwith a minimum of two RCDs,reports CARMELLE WILKINSON.

Skills shortage hasindustry worried

A SHORTAGE of skilled labour in the housingsector is getting worse, the Housing IndustryAssociation says.

The HIA said a recovery in private demand fornew homes and renovation work, coupled with therecovering resources sector, were driving demandfor the skilled residential labour force.

“The simultaneity of the demand for this labour in2010 from competing sources highlights the risk ofthe residential sector facing an acute shortage ofskilled labour from late in 2010,” HIA chiefeconomist Harley Dale said.

He said the shortage of skilled labour couldsignificantly constrain new-home construction.

The HIA’s trade availability index in the March2010 quarter fell to its lowest level since September2008. The index dropped to -0.11 from-0.08 in the December quarter in 2009, meaningthere was a moderate undersupply of tradespeople.

“There were shortages in 10 out of 13 skilledtrades in the March 2010 quarter,” Dr Dale said.

Shortages were in bricklaying, carpentry, ceramictiling, electrical, general building, landscaping, othertrades, plumbing, roofing and site preparation. ■

Anticipated demand for labour inlate 2010 from competing sourceshighlights the risk of the residentialsector facing acute problems,STEPHEN MILES was told.

Landlords need tobe hard-wired

“Mandurah is a fabulous location for a second home, investment property or lifestyle change.Since joining the company in March I have sold three homes, all of which generated a great deal of interest. As a result I now have a growing database of clients still looking to purchase. If you

would like some advice on the position of your property in the current market, or are considering investing in the area, please contact me at any time.”

REVIEWSInspired by visionof alfresco paradise

THESE days, indoor-outdoor entertainingareas are common in houses in Perth, but theowner of this West Leederville home goesabove and beyond with his.

The rear alfresco area to the GregoryStreet property would have to be one of themost impressive I have seen.

It has even played host to a couple ofweddings.

There is a resort-like ambience evident assoon as you step outside.

Shea Timber flooring flows right up to theglass-framed, solar-heated pool.

Stone-cladded panels adorn one wall of thearea while a fully-integrated stainless steeloutdoor kitchen and a cosy gas log fire adornthe other.

An elevated spa bath with a flat screen

television completes the setting.Surrounded by lush, tropical foliage and

Balinese garden ornaments, it really does feellike paradise.

However, the magnificence of this home isnot just limited to its alfresco area.

The front of the property is grand, with alimestone-paved walk-through intersectingthe meticulously lit garden that leads to thedouble-storey, rendered facade.

The home features six spacious bedroomsand two bathrooms plus an outdoor shower.

The central living area, which includes a

granite kitchen, lounge, and dining can beopened up to fully integrate the indoor-outdoor living area, lending itself to bothlarge gatherings and intimate get-togethers.

On the second level is a spacious secondliving area or multi-purpose room with floorto ceiling windows looking on to the frontgarden and across Lake Monger reserve.

What was once a dated 1960s home isnow one of West Leederville’s finest,testament to the owner's vision andinnovative design.

Magical makeoverFAR from traditional, this renovated NorthFremantle home is so much more.

Once a circa 1950s knockdown on thehighest block in the area, the ownerdescribes the makeover as “taking an olddump and transforming it into a gorgeousmodern home”.

Clean lines and a clever ergonomicdesign, overseen by award-winning designerTom Brooking, create a truly stunningproperty, with materialssuch as timber, steel,Caeser stone, terrazzoand travertine providinga rich, warm ambiencethat flows throughout.

A corrugated ironwave-shaped roofattached to the secondstorey addition – themaster suite – perfectly frames a sweepingvista across North Fremantle, the ocean andout to Rottnest.

The view is simply breathtaking.The extravagant master bedroom is

enormous and features full height marbletiling in the open ensuite as well as a separatedressing room and a large private deck totake in the panoramic ocean views.

There are three additional bedrooms on

the first floor.The unique facade of the home features

louvres on the windows to make use of theelements and allow the crisp ocean breeze tosweep through.

Generous open-plan living areas flow on toa stunning alfresco area which gives to a lappool and landscaped lawn area.

The sleek state-of-the-art kitchen is fittedwith quality stainless steel appliances and

custom high glosscabinetry.

While bold, artisticelements have been

incorporated into thedesign of the home,

efforts have also beenmade to ensure it is

environmentally friendly.Solar panels and

recycled materials have been used (thetimber floorboards in the living area are fromthe original Bassendean gymnasium), andthree rainwater tanks are positioned alongthe western border of the home.

In its transformation from ugly duckling tobeautiful swan, this remarkable home hasexceeded the owner’s expectations and issure to leave a lasting impression on thosewho view it. ■

Timeless classic

THERE is such a beautiful, old-fashionedambience to this prominent Claremont home.

Built in the early 1900s, the property wasoriginally the Bennett Brothers’ grocery store.

Today, the commanding residence on thecorner of Chester and Agett roads pays fittinghomage to the stunning Victorian Italianatearchitecture of the period.

The home was renovated during the 1980sbut retains a timeless, European inspired feel.

It reminds me of a Parisian apartment, onlylarger.

As I walk through the wrought iron gate andsolid timber doors of the entrance, it strikesme that that the interior of the home is just as

intriguing as the outside. A blend of quality,original and recycled materials combine withsuperior modern fittings to create a rich andvibrant home.

These include textured rendered walls,warm terracotta and timber floors, wroughtiron detailing and plantation shutters.

Exposed brick and granite adds rustic charmto the country-style kitchen and spaciousdining area, which features bifold timber frenchdoors out to a beautiful north-facing courtyardwith a spa and stone water feature.

An elegant lounge room with a stunning gasfireplace leads to the home’s original entrancehall and a third bedroom, which could be used

very practically as a home office with its ownentrance.

On the second level, a sitting area is flankedby a choice of two master bedrooms, one,very spacious with a balcony overlooking thecourtyard and ensuite and the other, also withan ensuite but featuring a Juliet balconyoverlooking the street.

Both would do me just fine. This magnificent property is homely and

inviting, yet so utterly stylish.What it may lack in space (by today’s

standards), it more then makes up for inloveliness.

DUNSBOROUGH From$365,000

WITH established careers in landscape andinterior design, Fremantle residents Guy andJodi Mouritz are hoping that their first child,due in six weeks, will inherit some of thecreative gene.

“Hopefully he or she will grow up to makea good site manager or adopt some of theirmum’s creative touch,” said Guy.

The parents-to-be are the duo behindluxury outdoor living specialists Ritz ExteriorDesign.

Guy started the company 10 years agoafter turning his hand from building andconstruction in rural WA to landscape andgardens in the city.

“I have always enjoyed creative arts, logicand practicality but I tend to get frustratedwith repetitive tasks,” he said.

“Landscape design and constructionincorporates such a wide range of productsand services, there really is an endless supplyof inspiration and potential in every project.”

After a career in fashion and retail in

London, Jodie returnedto Perth in 2004 and metGuy.

The two weremarried in 2007 and notlong after Jodie startedan advanced diploma ininterior design.

“It was always theplan to bring the twodisciplines together,” saidGuy.

“Jodi’s creative drive and passion forinterior design couples with my experienceand design knowledge in landscape.”

While Guy designs and builds the projects,Jodi oversees lighting and feature designs,sources and specifies the furniture andproducts within the project.

“With Jodi’s flair and detail in finishingprojects with beautiful furniture, RitzExterior Design offers the complete luxuryoutdoor living package,” Guy said.

Jodi also has a diploma in sustainability andincorporates green practices into all thecompany’s designs.

“Being married and working together canbe a recipe for disaster,” said Guy.

“But I think we are lucky to have acommon interest in design and enjoy ourwork, so the company is just another greatopportunity to build on our partnership inlife.”

Guy said one of the most enjoyable aspectsof the job was developing relationships with

clients. “We have completed several projectson different homes for the same clients overthe years and through that time watchedtheir families grow,” he said.

“I always love seeing the way our workhelps our clients enjoy their time at homewith friends and family, it is also great to seehow much of a selling point the outdoor livingspace becomes when the homes are put onthe market – outdoor living really seems tohave a universal appeal.”
