Local players in top leagueLocal residents, Wayne Cleggand Dave Platt, are ranked inthe top ten of Australian darts.

Both players are members ofthe DOSH team (Darts of theSouthern Hemisphere) andcompete in the Darts PlayersAustralia (DPA) HarrowsGrand Prix series.

Late last month, Dave Plattdefeated Loz Ryder, 6-2 to winthe DPA Australian MatchplayGrand Prix 8 in Sydney. Ryderis Australia’s current topranked darts player.

Wayne Clegg lost 6-3 toRyder in the semi-final.

When Wayne and Dave arenot interstate competing in thegrand prix circuit, they can beseen playing darts at theWanneroo Tavern.

A new league has just startedat Wanneroo Tavern cateringfor beginners through to thetop level. If anyone would liketo get involved, call Dave on0435 390 097 or email:[email protected].

A nine-dart finish is a perfectleg in the game of darts, usingonly nine darts, the fewestpossible, to checkout from 501.

It is notoriously difficult toachieve, even for the game'stop professionals.

In last year’s Sydney Masters,Dave Platt achieved a ‘nine-darter’. Wayne Clegg has hadthree, nine-darters during hisdarts’ career.

Each year, the overall winnerof the DPA Harrows Grand

Prix season wins a ticket intothe Professional DartsCorporation world champion-ship, held in the UK.

Simon Whitlock, PaulNicholson and Kylie Andersonare ‘Aussie’ dart players whohave come up through theDPA to world status.

Last year, Kyle was the firstAustralian to hit a televised ‘9Darter’ at the 2014 LadbrokesWorld Darts Championship.

New waste dump areaDevelopers and builders havedecided to install a new wastedisposal centre betweenButler and Yanchep.

Can’t guess where it is?

A little hint then - Just drivealong Marmion Ave betweenButler and Yanchep and thereit is.

It is all along the roadside.

I remember when the road-side was once clean andpristine and we had only thesand storms to put up with.

So much for self regulation bythe council for the developersand builders alike.

Council does not seem tocare as long as they push forthe extra cash it wants in itspockets.

So my question is, when isthe council going to clean upthis mess and make thedevelopers and buildersresponsible? Let’s see?

Mmmm, could be waiting awhile. Yes, it is in the future,but wait, it is planned.

But wait, it is in the schedule -sounds familiar, 20 years orso; I’d say, the way thecouncil is currently working.

Franz Tuller, Yanchep.

Trespassers to beprosecutedMoore River Company ownsthe land immediately to thesouth of the mouth of MooreRiver through to WilbingaConservation Park.

The number and frequency of4WD trespassers on our

property has escalated overrecent years to the point thattrespassers will no longer betolerated.

We have experienced wontondestruction of our fences,gates and farm infrastructure.

As a result our cattle find theirway into Wilbinga ConservationPark, along beaches and theriver reserves.

We expend considerableresources constantly repairingfences and retrieving cattle.

4WD activities in environ-mentally sensitive sand dunesand river reserves undo manyyears of land conservation bythe owners and by theGuilderton community.

The purpose of this letter is toinform your readers that in

addition to our passive(camera surveillance) we havenow introduced activesurveillance patrols who willchallenge trespassers andescort them from our property.

Trespasser's details will beprovided to police for cautionand prosecution as appropriate.

Moore River Company, West Perth.

ThanksThanks Atlantis Beach,where’s the dustsuppression?

Peoples’ health and homesare worse off. When are yougoing to clean our houses?

Before the October localcouncil elections, everyelected councillor, shirepresident and mayor who isseeking re-election must becompelled to make a publicdeclaration about theirelection funding, compliancewith the State Records Act,and any political alignments.

Local governments, moreoften known as localcouncils, primarily handlelocal community needssuch as: waste collection,public recreation facilities,and town planning.

Local government revenuecomes from three mainsources: taxes in the formof rates; charges for sale of

goods and services andgrants from Federal andState governments.

Often some ambitiouscouncils will expand theirscope of involvement intheir municipality promisingdelivery of various servicesand/or facilities withouttruly complying with theLocal Government Act.

Sometimes, unachievablepromises are made to thedetriment of proper deliveryof basic services.

Most councils think theyhave a ‘given right’ toincrease rates without fullyjustifying the need to thecommunity - They shapethe budget to fit the

projects, rather than thereverse.

This year, most councilswill bring down theirbudgets in June/July, thenjump straight intoelectioneering - It will beintriguing to see how someof our ambitious electedmembers handle the biggerpicture.

I’m guessing, there will betighter scrutineering, thisyear, especially around theway some electedmembers fund raise fortheir election campaign.

If they can’t be 100 per centaccountable, should theyexpect our support?

Theft at school - Who is responsible?A week before the end ofTerm One at Yanchep DistrictHigh School, several skate-boards and scooters werestolen from caged, butunsecured area at YanchepDistrict High School.

As one irate mum told theSun City News: “I got a phonecall from my son in tears at3.05pm trying to tell me his$700 scooter had been stolenfrom school.

“His scooter was his prideand joy, his mode of transportjust as important to him as mycar is to me.

“After trying to calm him down,I instructed him to go and reportit to the office, his reply waswhy? They won't do anything.

“I said you need to let themknow, so he did and I spoketo him after and he was upsetagain and when I asked whatdid they say; he was asked:‘when do you think it wastaken before school, during orbefore school finished.

“How on earth would he knowthat?

“So I picked him up and wentto the police station to makea report and advise themwhat had happened.

In the meantime we hadlearned that not just my son’s

scooter was stolen, but anumber of others and someskate boards.

“As it happened on schoolgrounds, the police advisedme after taking our details togo back and speak to theschool to find out what theywere going to do about it.

“After speaking to a memberof staff, the same person myson spoke to, he informed methat up to eight items hadbeen stolen and they wouldneed to speak to the studentstoday to try and work out whattime of day they may havebeen stolen.

“My son did not want to go toschool as he was still upset,but I said he must as they willneed to speak to you all.”

When I got home, I askedwhat happened; my son said"nothing".

I asked did they come andspeak to the kids and hisreply was ‘No’.

The school provides a semisecured area for students toleave their scooters andskateboards, which is out ofsite from any of the otherbuildings, office, etc.

It is fenced, but with a gatethat is left unlocked becauseapparently when they used to

lock it kids would just climbover the top.

A decision was made to leaveit unlocked and instruct thestudents to lock their itemswith bike locks, well on thisday my son did not lock hisscooter the same as the otherstudents and this is what hasresulted.

My disappointment is with theschool’s lack of considerationand investigation/action towhat has happened to thesechildren's pride and joy,namely expensive Christmas/birthday presents.

I'm sure there are protocols into such things but am yet tosee any such thing or even aphone call to let me knowwhat is happening.

If this happened at the localshops and his scooter gotstolen I would believe it to begone forever but thishappened at school, whichshould have some respon-sibility in ensuring there is asecure area that is highlyvisible to staff and studentsalike so in the eventstrangers/students arepresent to that area whenthey should not be this sort ofthing maybe avoided.

Does the school have videocameras, etc, that should

help in investigating thematter?

Even if this is used as a timelyreminder that Yanchep is nolonger the safe small town itonce used to be and throughthe ever growing populationmore and more issues/problems are going to emergethrough our community.

Yanchep DHS principal, AlanCurtis, said in the schoolnewsletter before heading offon long service leave: “It isunfortunate that in recentweeks we have had a numberof scooters and skateboardsstolen from school.

“If you have any informationon who may be doing this orsee any of the stolenequipment please eithernotify the police or the schoolso that it may be followed up.

“The cage provided for thescooters and skateboards isthere primarily for weatherprotection and it is veryimportant that all equipmentis individually locked.

“Unfortunately the equipmentstolen recently was notsecured.”

This issue went viral on theSun City News Facebookpage with over 1500 viewsand many comments.

Rejoinder - Seabird Progress AssociationThe Seabird ProgressAssociation (SPA) thanks MrJeremy Edwards, Shire of GinginCEO, for responding to concernsraised by Dr Johnson in the SunCity News on 26 February, andfor his commendation of ourforward thinking and planning.

While agreeing no individual orentity is responsible for naturallyoccurring coastline changes, theinference that electedrepresentatives of the communityor public servants cannot bechallenged about their slowresponse to an impendingdisaster is unacceptable.

Citizens, and ratepayers have theright to ask questions, and whilewe prefer a co-operativeapproach, we feel frustrated bythe lack of communication andcommitment from authorities inaddressing the threat to ourneighbours’ homes.

We are disappointed at thecursory attention the RogersReport gave to combining a boatlaunching facility with a solution tothe erosion at Seabird andquestion this outcome: “followingdiscussions with SoG it wasrecommended that both theLancelin and Ledge Point optionsbe progressed to PreliminaryDesign stage” (p.45).

The criteria for choosing toprogress the Ledge Point andLancelin options while discardingthe Seabird option remainunclear, as do other aspects ofthe report. For example:

Length of access roadSPA proposed a one kilometreroad accessing a boat ramp southof the town. The report states thisroad would need to be 2kilometres (p.33).

Infrastructure/parkingThe report identifies that a ruralboat launching facility requires60-80 car-trailer bays withpotential for 120-160 bays (p.5).

It identifies existing infrastructureas a factor favouring the Lancelinsite yet describes parking thereas currently inadequate withrestricted room for expansion(p.40). Seabird has unlimitedroom.

Accumulation of seawrackAll sites were found to havepotential problems with sea wrackif a protective groyne was built(p.25). However, the reportignores that the angle of thegroyne we proposed at Seabird isdesigned to minimise any build upand to enhance the likelihood ofsea wrack being flushed out bytidal action.

Position Seabird is perfectly positioned,central to the largest populationnode in the lower coastal region,and is easily accessible fromPerth where there is overpatronage at boat ramps.

This State Government initiativeshould serve as manyrecreational boat users aspossible, as funding will beprovided through theRecreational Boating Facilities

Fund (which receives 50 per centof recreational boat registrationfees). A more northerly site willnot achieve this outcome.

NavigationThe report states that the leadline passing south of Seabirdprovides safe access through thereefs, whereas navigation atLedge Point is hazardous (p.36)and at Lancelin safety iscompromised by submergedreefs and conflict with commercialoperators and other users e.g.windsurfers (p.41).

Cost estimates The northerly site at Seabird,suggested in the report, meansSeabird infrastructure costs arehigh, but the southerly sitesuggested by SPA has morefavourable topography, hencelower costs.

The estimated cost of locating theramp at Seabird is less than atLedge Point, and although theestimated Lancelin cost ischeaper, it is not necessarily thebest option given the identifiedsafety concerns whenrecreational and commercialfishing activities are combined atthe same site.

Integrity of process‘Learning Horizons’ planning studyrecommended that council applyappropriate weighting to bothquantitative and qualitative factorsand that this be communicated toall participants (p.4).

We remain unaware of howweighting was applied and untilthis is explained, concerns willremain about the integrity of thedecision making process, and ourworking relationship with thecouncil is compromised.

In addition, as Lancelin, was notafforded its own communitymeeting, how does the shire knowresidents want a boat ramp?

The report mentions that ‘locatingthe ramp adjacent to existing

residences may cause issues’(p.44).

State GovernmentresponseOn 30 January, SPA met withMLA Shane Love, Shire PresidentMichael Aspinall and Shire CEOJeremy Edwards.

Subsequently, Mr Edwards wroteto the Minister for Transport,advising him of the urgency of thesituation at Seabird.

Two months later the situationremains unchanged.

Pensioners betteroff since election

Federal Member for Pearce,Christian Porter, said the latestindexing of the age pension, whichcame into effect on Friday 20 March,gave single age pensioners a $5.90boost to their fortnightly payments($153.40 pa) while couples willreceive an extra $8.80 a fortnight($228.80 pa).

According to Mr Christian,Pensioners in Pearce are $51.80 perfortnight better off for singles and $78per fortnight for couples since theCoalition Government was elected,following this pension increase.

“These increases will see themaximum age pension rise to$860.20 a fortnight for singlepensioners and $1,296.80 forcouples,” Mr Porter said.

“The latest boost further exposes thefalse and misleading scarecampaign from Labor and BillShorten who claim the age pensionhas been cut.

“The increases are in addition to theincrease pensioners received fromthe abolition of the Carbon Tax andthe Coalition Government’s decisionto retain the Carbon Taxcompensation of $14.10 per fortnightfor single pensioners and $21.20 forcouples.

“When these measures are takeninto account pensioners areeffectively $66 better off per fortnightfor singles and almost $100 better offfor couples since the election.”

Mr Porter said there was also goodnews for part pensioners.

Income tested part-pensioners wouldreceive a double boost to theirpayments as lower deeming ratescome into effect amounting to $200million in additional payments overthe forward estimates.

“On average Pearce part pensionerswill get an extra $3.20 a fortnight or$83.20 a year as a result of thisCoalition Government decision,” MrPorter said.

“Combined with this March increase,age pensioners across Australia willreceive $22 million in increasedpayments every fortnight, or morethan half a billion a year.

“I am pleased to be part of aGovernment that is delivering theseincreases to help pensioners inPearce deal with the cost of living.We are committed to ensuring ourwelfare system looks after those whoneed it most and that this assistanceis sustainable in to the future.

Mayor Tracey Roberts and Directorfor Planning and Sustainability, PhilipSt John, took the questions taken onnotice.

In the minutes of the meeting itstates the questions are beinginvestigated and a further responsewill be provided in the agenda for theordinary council meeting to be heldon 28 April.

This is probably the first time in tenyears or more that the council hasnot been able to provide a responseto questions from a council meeting.

One of the difficulties many residentsand ratepayers often have with‘council response’ to questions orenquiries is the lack of detail and‘vagueness’ in the answers.

Regularly, council response createsa lot more questions than theyanswer, causing additional concernsfor some residents.

Gingin Science FestivalThe Gingin Science Festivalbeing organised by the Gingincommunity and the GravityDiscovery Centre, is excitedthat Healthway has been ableto support the festival with agenerous grant.

Since the recent Public SectorCommission report into therorting of taxpayer-fundedsponsorships within Healthwayconcerns about funding for thefestival was a worry.

Last week, the good newsfinally came through -Healthway’s support meansthat the Gingin Science Festivalcommittee can continue theirefforts to stage this magnificentinaugural event.

Convenor of the GinginScience Festival committee,Peter Jones, and proprietor ofWestern Bamboo said thewhole community wouldwelcome the Healthwaycontribution.

He quipped: “That’s a reallyhealthy donation, it’s going tobreath life into our festival!”

While Gingin Science Festivalhad already secured fundingfrom National Science Week,this was only a part of thefunds needed and the planswere in jeopardy withoutother sponsorships.

The festival is due to start on15 August, with an officialpreview opening on Friday 14August at the old GinginRailway Station.

One of the special exhibitionsis going to be about theheroic West Australian WallalExpedition that provedEinstein’s Theory of Gravity.

It was so famous at the time.in 1922, that universitystudents put on a special floatwith a mock telescope like theones that the expedition tookto Wallal Downs on EightyMile Beach.

There they measured thewarping of space near thesun during a total eclipse,

convincingly proving Einsteinto be right. Without Einstein’stheory of gravity GPSnavigators would not work.

At the festival you will be ableto discover the sciencebehind rural life in GinginShire - Whether it be honey,olives or wine or a myriadother science basedactivities.

On top of this there will bespecial exhibitions on thescience of gravity and thescience of light at the GravityDiscovery Centre.

Schools throughout theregion are going to beinvolved with all sorts ofscience competitions. Therewill be food, music and artexhibitions, everything youneed for a great day out.

Student’s masterpiece

The Shire of Ginginadministration office was madethat extra bit special with arecent addition of a bespokemetal sculpture whichincorporates the handprint ofeach 2014 Year 7 studentattending Gingin District HighSchool.

The ‘Ball of Hands’ artwork wasthe idea of teacher, Kym Mortonand her colleague, AshlynSiviour, who wanted to producesomething special for the P&Cgala auction night last year.

Ms Morton said: “We came upwith the idea of making

something which had a little partof all the year sevens in it – likea hand or footprint.

“I had visited a place inGuildford where the artist madeobjects, in particular balls, out ofscrap metal. So we put the twoideas together.”

The rusted scrap metal used forthe sculpture has interestingorigins.

“Most of it is from my family farmin Katanning,” said Ms Morton.“We used an old ‘sheepcrossing’ sign and oldmachinery parts such as a grain

chute. We were also lucky tohave some scrap metal donatedfrom Gingin Fabrications.”

The sculpture was constructedwith tracings of the students’hands which were used astemplates and then each handwas cut out using a plasmacutter and welded togetherusing a mig welder.

A rubber mallet created theslight curve of the handsneeded for the ball shape.

Ms Morton’s husband, Jameswas seconded to do the trickymetal work.

“Unfortunately the equipmentneeded to cut out and weld themetal was a bit too dangerousfor the students to use,” MsMorton said.

The ‘Ball of Hands’ wassuccessfully bid by the Shire ofGingin at the auction night andthe artwork has been installed inthe entrance garden of theadministration office.

Proceeds from the auction nightare going towards theconstruction of a new adventureplayground at the school.

A dark night is good for your healthToday most people do not getenough sleep. The Centre forDisease Control and Prevention(CDC) has called insufficientsleep an epidemic - While we arefinally paying attention to theimportance of sleep, the need fordark is still mostly ignored.

That’s right. Dark. Your bodyneeds it too.

Being exposed to regular patternsof light and dark regulates ourcircadian rhythm. Disruption ofthis rhythm may increase the riskof developing some healthconditions including obesity,diabetes and breast cancer.

Light regulates our sleepand wake patterns

The physiological processes thatcontrol the daily cycle of sleepand wake, hunger, activity levels,body temperature, melatoninlevel in the blood, and many otherphysiological traits are called theendogenous circadian rhythm.

On its own, the endogenouscircadian rhythm is nearly, but notexactly, 24 hours. Our bodies relyon the Sun to reset this cycle andkeep it at precisely 24 hours, thelength of our days. The light – andthe dark – are important signals

for the cycle. This circadianrhythm has developed over threebillion years as life evolved onEarth in the context of the Sun’sday/night cycle. It is built deeplyinto our genetic makeup.

During the night, in the dark, bodytemperature drops, metabolismslows, and the hormonemelatonin rises dramatically.When the Sun comes up in themorning, melatonin has alreadystarted falling, and you wake up.This natural physiologicaltransition into and out of night isof ancient origin, and melatonin iscrucial for the process to proceedas it should.

If you were to put someone in adark cave with no time cues at all,the cycle will last about 24 hours,but not exactly. Without time cueslike those from the Sun, eventuallythat person would become out ofsync with people outside. In factmany profoundly blind people,who cannot perceive light, mustcope with this de-synchronizationin their daily lives.

What does your body doin the dark?

Many things happen to our bodiesduring the dark. Levels of the

hormone leptin, which helps controlhunger, go up. High levels of leptinmean we do not feel hungry whilelow levels make us hungry.

Why does leptin go up in thedark? Since we evolved withoutartificial light at night, one theoryholds that leptin goes up at nightbecause it would be good to notbe hungry during the night, ratherthan needing to forage in the darkand possibly get into trouble.

This fasting that should happenevery night, and why we call thefirst meal in the morning‘breakfast’. Experiments inhuman beings have shown thatsleep disruption and turning onlights lowers leptin levels whichmakes people hungry in themiddle of the night.

In the last decade or two it hasbecome clear that the geneswhich control the endogenouscircadian rhythm (the ‘clockgenes’) also control a large part ofour entire genome including genesfor metabolism (how we processthe food we eat), DNA damageresponse (how we are protectedfrom toxic chemicals andradiation), and cell cycle regulationand hormone production (how ourcells and tissues grow).

Light at night disrupts theseprocesses. The changes that resultfrom exposure to electric light atnight have biological connectionsto disease and conditions that arecommon in the modern worldtoday including obesity, diabetes,cancer and depression.

Blue light, red light, no light

Not all light is the same – somekinds of light make you more alertand more awake, and othershave less of an effect.

Light from the Sun is strong inblue, short wavelength light,although it includes all othercolors as well. That’s important inthe morning when we need to bealert and awake. But when itcomes in the evening or duringthe night, it fools the body intothinking it’s daytime. We nowknow that this bright blue light hasthe strongest effect on loweringmelatonin during the night.

Your tablet, phone, computer orcompact fluorescent lamp (CFL)all emit this kind of blue light. Sousing these devices in theevening can prevent thatprimordial physiological transitionto night from occurring. Thismakes it harder to sleep andmight also increase the longerterm risk of ill-health.

Other kinds of light, like dimmerlong wavelength yellow and redlight, have very little effect on thistransition. This is the kind of lightfrom a campfire or a candle; eventhe old fashioned incandescentlight bulb is dimmer and redderthan the new CFL.

Only in the last 20 years have weacquired a basic biologicalunderstanding of how the eye’sretina tells the circadian system itis daytime. Now we know thatblue, short wave-length light is

captured by the newly discoveredphotopigment melanopsin in theretina, and that when blue lightstops, we start our physiologicaltransition to nighttime mode.

Electricity changed theway we sleep

Before electricity, peopleexperienced bright, full-spectrumdays of sunlight and dark nights.We slept in a different way thanwe do now. The dark lasted abouttwelve hours and during this timepeople slept for eight or ninehours in two separate bouts, andwere awake, but in the dark, foranother three or four hours.

Everything changed when electriclighting was invented in the latterpart of the 19th century. Sincethen there has been an everincreasing assault on dark.Outdoor environments arerelentlessly lit, and more andmore people use computertablets and smart phones at allhours, bathing their faces in brightblue light at times of day whenthey should be transitioning tonighttime physiology.

When people get away from thecity and its artificial light to gocamping, they often notice amarked improvement in theirsleep. A recent study has verifiedthis effect.

Today, most of us get too littlelight during the day and too muchat night for our circadian rhythmto function at its best. It is the rareperson who sleeps in acompletely dark bedroom, andmany people get very littlesunlight because they work insideall day long.

What can you do for your circadianhealth? Get bright, blue light in themorning (preferably from the Sun),and use dim, longer wavelengthlight (more yellow and red likeincandescent) in the evening. Andsleep in the dark.

This will certainly improve sleep,and may reduce risk of laterdisease.

For the first time in five years, the number offirst home buyers choosing house and landpackages has surpassed those buyingexisting homes.

According to data out last week from theOffice of State Revenue (OSR), the numberof First Home Owner Grants (FHOG) paidout for new construction was greater thangrants for existing homes during February.

This is the first time this has happenedsince the Rudd Government’s temporaryFHOG Boost period after the GlobalFinancial Crisis, when new-builds brieflyovertook existing stock in February 2010.

In February of this year, there were 696grants paid to established stock and 747 fornew-builds.

President of the Real Estate Institute ofWestern Australia, David Airey, said while itwas good to see lots of first home buyeractivity, the skew towards new constructionwas impacting the whole market.

“Two years ago the Barnett Governmentdropped the FHOG grant for establishedhomes from $7,000 to $3,000 andincreased it for new-builds to $10,000.

“This has proven very attractive to manyentry-level buyers, but it now means that alot of people trying to sell existing homeshave a smaller pool of buyers and this is

contributing to the sharp increase inproperties on the market,” Mr Airey said.

Mr Airey said that many trade-up buyersneeded a first home buyer to relinquish theirexisting home to so they could sell andmove on, but a smaller pool of buyers wasnow contributing to a slow-down in thehousing market.

“Normally, around 70 per cent of first homebuyers choose an older, established homeover a brand new one, but the StateGovernment’s tinkering with the grant hasshifted the equation,” Mr Airey said.

However, the OSR data is indicating thatthe pendulum might be swinging back toestablished homes with 820 applications forthose grants versus 606 for newconstruction reported in February.

Mr Airey said the REIWA pre-budgetsubmission to the State Government calledon the Treasurer to restore balance to themarket by applying the FHOG equally to oldand new homes.

The OSR's latest data also shows that inFebruary the median purchase price for firsthome buyers in the metropolitan area was$450,000, up $5,000 on January, while inthe regions it was up $10,000 to $360,000.

The three most popular locations wereBaldivis, Wellard and Byford in Perth’ssouthern outskirts.

First home buyers now inclined to build

New REIWA data shows that the number ofproperties on the Perth market has reached14,000, while the number of homes for renthas surpassed 6,500.

President of the Real Estate Institute ofWestern Australia, David Airey, said listingshad jumped for both sales and rentals as aresult of WA's slowing population growthrate and the effect of new buildingconstruction impacting on established homesales.

“The number of properties listed for sale hasjumped by over 2,000 since the start of theyear and sales have slowed by 15 per centwhen compared to the same period lastyear.

“With 6,500 rental properties availableacross the metropolitan area, that’s a 210per cent increase since 2012 and haspushed the vacancy rate over four percent,” Mr Airey said.

Mr Airey said the very high level of houseand unit construction across the state,accompanied with the fall in populationgrowth, had tipped the scales to oversupply.

“Added to this is the big fall in the number offirst home buyers choosing establishedhomes and building new ones instead.

“However, this is great news for buyers andtenants because it means there is a huge

amount of choice and very competitivepricing.

“Along with record low interest rates, therehas rarely been such a good time to buyand first home buyers continue to be activein the market place,” Mr Airey said.

According to reiwa.com data, Perth’smedian house price dipped by $5,000 lastmonth to around $547,000, whilemetropolitan rents were holding steady at$440 per week.

“With this large supply of homes for saleand rent, it’s likely we will see negligibleprice growth across 2015 and a fairly slowmarket for those selling property or lookingfor tenants.

“It is essential that sellers and owners listenclosely to the advice of their selling agentsand property managers to ensure the rightmarketing and pricing in what will prove tobe a very competitive environment,” MrAirey said.

Mr Airey said that recent figures indicatedthat the average number of days on themarket for home sales had stretched to 67,compared to the more usual 45, while thenumber of sellers prepared to discount theirasking price was now 57 per cent.

Rental leasing times across Perth isaveraging 36 days.

Plenty of property’s sale and rent

Last week, the State Government hascalled on the Western Australian public tosubmit their constructive ideas about‘busting’ red tape using their new onlinesurvey.

Finance Minister Bill Marmion said theGovernment was committed to bustingunnecessary bureaucracy by flagging redtape areas across government.

“Our recent red tape reforms are already ontrack to save West Australians tens ofmillions of dollars, but it’s time to furtherreduce barriers to business development,employment and investment,” Mr Marmionsaid.

The Reinvigorating Regulatory Reformprogram will introduce key performanceindicators for department director-generalsand annual red tape reduction report cards

for ministers.

“To improve efficiency and service delivery,it’s vital we have as much public feedbackas possible.

“That’s why I’m also calling on people to useour new online access to get involved.Whether you’ve had a good or badregulatory or approvals experience, I wantto hear from you,” Mr Marmion said.

Since the introduction of Revenue Onlinelast July, more than 1,000 home buyershave benefited from the simplification ofproperty transfers, with more than 10,000business days saved so far across theboard.
