New chapter for Elders Bangalow The team at Elders Bangalow is super excited about their new office in the iconic George Reading building on Lismore Road. After a whirlwind fit-out of four weeks, the office has been fully relocated and is now operating from the new premises. I asked Janice Maple and Duncan Lorimer, principals at Elders Bangalow, what prompted their move to the new premises. Well, there were a couple of motivating factors. Firstly, the two-level space in Byron Street was proving not very functional with our staff dynamic and we were due to take up another three-year option with an increase in the rent likely. We decided it was a good time to see what was available and that is when we stumbled across the old hardware store in the Readings building. It is just perfect for our team!

relying on walk-in traffic any more. Most of the out-of-town buyers have already found us on the internet before they arrive in town. The good thing about our new premises on Lismore Road is we have heaps of onsite parking for our clients and it offers huge exposure for our brand to all the passing drive-by traffic. We have been amazed at how
popular our decision to move has been with the general public and our clients. As soon as we started telling people where we were going, they were saying‌ that is fantastic, that’s the perfect location for your business. It’s been really encouraging! We were also very fortunate to have great support from Matt and
Leah Rafton, long-term owners of the building, who have both been very encouraging of our business moving into their building. It just feels right. We had a very smooth fit-out process, which allowed us to move in very quickly. We just love it. It has been purpose designed to suit our staff and business. It is so inspiring to come into work each day!
As the weather gets colder and you or your tenants switch on heaters to keep warm, it becomes even more important to make sure you understand what the fire risks are in your home and what to do to minimise them. Being prepared is the key to reducing the risk of fire occurring and surviving a house fire. It is recommended that you have a safety checklist to help keep your home fire safe for you or your tenants. For information about home fire safety and other fire safety tips, visit the Fire & Rescue NSW website, where you can also find information on fire escape plans and printable fire safety fact sheets. You can also find a comprehensive guide on selecting, installing and operating domestic solid fuel heaters on the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s website.
