REAL ESTATE UPDATE

OCTOBER 2023

: Ask the

As part of the additional reforms, there is the introduction of “No Cause Evictions”. Essentially, this means that landlords (or their acting Property Manager) will be required to provide tenants with a prescribed reason to not renew a fixed term agreement. This requirement is currently in place when a landlord intends on ending a periodic (non-fixed) tenancy agreement.

The prescribed reasons will include the reasons currently listed to end a periodic lease, which include the landlord requiring possession of the premises for their own occupation or to sell, demolishing or renovate the premises.

Do I now have to give a reason to terminate my tenant's lease?

Additional prescribed reasons to be added include a tenant engaging in illegal activity at the property, or a tenant harassing, threatening, or abusing a property manager, landlord or neighbour.

Further to this, the reforms will also include an increase in the minimum notice period served to the tenants. Currently, the landlord is required to provide 28 days minimum notice; this will be increased to 60 days.

COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS

Glimmer

GLIMMER is a new concept described as fleeting “micro moments of joy”. They can occur in the home, the office, the garden, walking the dog… My glimmer this morning was sitting in the sun watching a mother duck with her six chicks waddling across the street on their way to the lake.

Tax -return scam

My email came up with the message “you need to update your banking details to allow your tax return to be processed.” Now ,we all like a tax return, but this sounded fishy so I rang the ATO. It’s a scam. Beware.

Pets in rentals

A report by Harcourt’s Real Estate in NL/Sept says that tenants may have the right to own a pet under new rental reforms proposed by the government. What a bad idea. Unbeknown to me, my tenant brought a big aggressive dog into my rental. When he left this is what I found - bashedin screen doors, dog’s hair throughout the carpet and furniture, dog slobber on the glass doors and deep scratches on the wooden doors, dog food and water stains on the kitchen floor, dog turds in the courtyard and a doggie smell in the house. Another tenant had a bird (unbeknown to me) which flew around inside. When the tenant left there were feathers and corrosive white bird poo everywhere.

A love of flying

For 40 years I have been flying a plane but when I reached 65 years old and 25,000 hours, it was time to hang up my pilot’s cap and turn to teaching younger people to fly. I am an instructor in Aviation at UNISA and I love helping students develop the skills that will take them all over the world.

Needed: affordable and accessible health care

Waiting to be seen at a hospital emergency department is no fun. One problem seems to be that people with minor injuries (eg blisters, splinters, sunburn) go to the emergency department instead of a GP. This is because it’s hard to get into a GP. My GP is closed evenings and on weekends, no longer bulk bills and I have to arrange 2 weeks in advance to see him. By contrast public hospitals offer free care and are open all hours. See the problem?

Barry Canova

Hot Travel

We have just spent 6 weeks in Europe and it was overwhelmingly hot. Daytime temperatures were in the mid 40s and 30s at night. Intermittent blackouts cut off the air-con and the treat of bushfires forced us to cancel some of our trips. The month of July was the hottest in recorded history. I fear that

global warming is going to have a big impact on leisure travel.

Jaohn, Modbury

Council rates

My neighbours and I have been comparing our recent council rates notice. Council rates are based on the value of a property, so we all have different bills, but we question why is that so, when each of use receives exactly the same council services?

Learning language skills

Grammar and punctuation are the building blocks of the English language. I cringe when I see ‘Tomatoe’s On Sale” and other incorrect use of an apostrophe. Spellchecks are limited help when English has two forms of There and Their, and three forms of To, Too and Two which have completely different meanings. Please teachers, teach basic language skills before you strike for more pay.

Buckle up and embark on a journey through automotive history at the LJ Hooker

Mawson Lakes Rare and Classic Car Show, Sunday 5 November 2023.

This unique event is not just for hardcore car enthusiasts, it’s a family friendly day for everyone who can appreciate the beauty, history, and the stories behind some of the most remarkable cars ever built.

Over 100 stunning rare and classic cars will line the streets, creating a jawdropping visual spectacle. From elegant vintage models to iconic classics, every car on display has a unique story to tell.

Local car enthusiast Peter is the proud new owner of the stunning car on the cover of this month’s issue which will be on display at the show next month.

A BMW i8, the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is considered by some to be the first hybrid supercar. An earlier version of the model was driven by Tom Cruise in the 2011 movie, Mission Impossible IV. The concept car was considered ‘out there’ futuristic at the time but soon went into production in 2013 and the 2015 model is now Peter’s pride and joy. Even if it’s not the easiest to get in and out of!

The day isn't just about automobiles though. Shaun Roberts from event sponsor, LJ Hooker Property Specialists says, “The LJ Hooker Mawson Lakes Rare and Classic Car Show is set to be a celebration of community and wholesome family fun. It’s something new for the north and we are proud to be involved, have a good time and support a worthwhile cause.”

SPARE A NANO-THOUGHT

At the University of South Australia in Mawson Lakes, a dedicated team is hard at work tackling the challenges of brain cancer. This condition can begin with headaches and can ultimately lead to strokes. In rare cases, these symptoms point to brain cancer.

Fortunately, the chances of being diagnosed with brain cancer are quite low. However, once an aggressive brain tumour is present, the odds of survival drop significantly. Brain tumours pose a formidable challenge for treatment, often necessitating precise surgical removal.

Cancer is a stubborn adversary, much like persistent weeds in a garden. To eliminate it completely, a surgeon must eradicate not only the visible portion but also its roots. Just as a small piece of weed root can sprout into a thriving plant, aggressive brain tumours often have tiny roots that extend into the brain. These hidden roots pose a significant challenge for surgeons during the operation. If not removed, they can lead to a recurrence of the cancer, now even more life-threatening.

Our research team at the UniSA Future Industries Institute is dedicated to helping surgeons solve this problem. We’re developing minuscule particles – nanoparticles – that are designed to accumulate within the tumour.

What’s remarkable about these particles is their fluorescence. During surgery, surgeons will observe portions of the brain “lighting-up” due to the fluorescent nanoparticles, which “lights-up” the cancerous areas. This fluorescence makes it easier for surgeons to identify and remove all traces of cancer, which we hope will ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Jaco van Rooyen is a doctoral candidate at the University of South Australia Future Industries Institute.

The goal is to fill a 9x9 grid with numbers so that each row, column and 3x3 section contains all of the digits between 1 and 9.

NEW LEARNING CENTRE in MAWSON LAKES

Serena Rose started off as a teacher where she saw a lot of children in need of extra help with learning and socialising, so she branched out and set up a service for people with developmental delay. Her newest centre at Mawson Lakes is called Empowered Community Health and Wellbeing (ECHW).

A drab 2-story building has been transformed into an inviting learning centre. The themed walls are painted in bright colours with vinyl motifs, the new floors are soft grey with rugs and low chairs and the rooms are full of toys, books and craft materials. It's a wonderland of sensory delights with full sunshine coming through the windows.

"We want a space that is warm and inviting, not cold and clinical, where we can comfortably get to know each family and provide a tailored program," said Director Serena.

ECHW is not just for children with special needs, the service extends to teens and adults and offers a menu of activity aimed at learning, well-being, socialisation and community participation. Group and speech therapy, mentoring, holiday activities and support coordination works to build confidence and independence. The centre also offers respite services for families and carers to allow them time to rest and rejuvenate.

"Having a nurturing environment for people with special needs is so important to help them get the benefits from their NDIS plans and to build skills and confidence that will enable them to take their place at school and in the community," said Serena.

ECHW is at Park Way in Mawson Lakes www.echw.com.au Phone 0466 692 791

A hole in my tooth…

Did you know? Just one millilitre of our saliva contains over one million bacteria - Fact!

Given enough time, these bacteria begin to make a little home on the surfaces of our teeth. Bacteria take just 1-3 days to be ‘organised’ into dental plaque (the furry stuff) and then they begin to cause decay.

Bacteria settle in particularly well in the places that the toothbrush can’t get to, namely deep grooves and in-betweens. Not surprisingly, this is where decay usually starts.

Tooth decay is said to need just 3 things to thrive. A host (that’s you), sugar, and time.

The factors we can easily influence are the last two.

Sugar: For sugar we need to think about the frequency of exposure. These need to be kept to a minimum (meals and an occasional treat).

Time: To influence time we need to regularly remove the plaque from our teeth. Preferably daily, before the bacteria ‘organise’ well enough to start to cause a hole.

When cleaning consider the 2 places bacteria love – the grooves and the in-betweens (use floss!).

Of course, get decay treated when it’s still small.

The best cavity you can have is the one you didn’t know was there, as this means it is still small enough to not be causing pain. And the best way to catch cavities when they are small, is with regular professional checkups.

MOVIE review

By Linda Vining

For a gutsy movie with real heart based on contemporary social issues, this feel-good comedy set in a rural Aussie town is a gem.

Caring Your Feet

with Mardi Edwards

SUMMER FEET

Summer is on its way and it is almost time for our feet to be liberated from enclosed shoes and into some sandals for the warmer weather!

In Summer our feet are more at risk. They are exposed to the elements, we tend to increase our activity levels putting our feet under more pressure, and footwear is less supportive and offers less foot protection.

The township of Bodgy Creek has seen better days: the population is dwindling, jobs are scarce and litter has built up around the fading Tidy Town sign. The next victim of the town’s decline is it’s cash-strapped football club. Barely able to field a team, the club is reeling from news that its clubrooms have been condemned due to asbestos contamination. And along comes an off-beat solution to recruit young and willing refugees who live in the town.

There is the inevitable group of right-wing objectors who think the "refos" as they are called, are taking all their jobs. This protest is led by the hard-nosed bullish actor John Howard. But it’s the cultural differences that bring humour and some sadness to the story. Despite their unlikely diversity, the team melds together and the action is exciting.

This is a film that can speak to everyone with its touching themes of Aussie idiosyncrasies, kindness and bigotry, compassion and friendship.

The movie is now showing on Netflix and deserves to go straight to the pool room alongside The Castle and, more recently, Ali's Wedding.

If you want a thriller or a space odyssey, this one is not for you, but if you want a relaxed and funny Aussie film with some great humour and good acting, mixed in with some heartfelt and important messages, this movie is suitable for the whole family.

Here are some tips to help you keep your feet healthy and looking good for the summer.

• MOISTURIZE feet regularly to prevent dry hardened skin especially around heels.

• APPLY SUNSCREEN to tops of feet. They haven’t seen the sun in a while and will tend to burn easily.

• WEAR SUPPORTIVE FOOTWEAR, especially for exercise. Sandals and thongs are less supportive and can increase foot or leg pain. More supportive styles are available which will improve comfort.

• BE CAREFUL not to burn soles of feet on hot surfaces.

At Mawson Lakes Podiatry clinic we can treat dry, cracked heels, improve nail comfort and appearance, and provide advice on moisturizer use and footwear options. WE ALSO STOCK ARCHIE THONGS AND THE NEW ARCHIE SLIDES.

summer

I was exploring Alaska by ship, yacht, train and motor cycle in July. It’s a rugged wilderness formed long ago by volcanos that left behind epic snow-clad mountains and ice fields.
