Preparing your property for storm season can protect your assets and save emergency services resources.

Picture: QFES Media

Reluctance by the building industry to take risks on new products could be hurting productivity gains.

GET READY FOR SUMMER STORMS

DON'T BE AFRAID OF FUTURE SHOCK

IS your property storm-ready?

The summer storm season is already well underway, and more than 400mm of rain fell in the Noosa region in October.

While storm damage accounts for almost half of all home insurance claims, new research from NRMA Insurance shows fewer than one in five people realise storms are the biggest threat to their homes (52 per cent rank theft and crime as their biggest concern), and close to one in three have taken steps to prepare their property for storm season.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services SES assistant commissioner Peter Jeffrey urged home owners and residents to prepare their homes now.

“Last storm season SES volunteers responded to storm-related calls for assistance across the state,” he said.

“We could reduce the number of

NEW systems, products and technologies have the capacity to improve living experiences and drive down ongoing costs, as well as construction costs, but a fear of product failure is stifling change.

Master Builders’ latest survey of industry conditions found only 22 per cent of respondents regularly used new products from new suppliers.

Master Builders’ deputy chief executive officer Paul Bidwell said the reluctance to take a chance and try something different was limiting the opportunity for efficiency gains.

“Builders are worried that if they go with something new or different that it’s going to fail later down the track,” he said.

“Under the QBCC’s Rectification of Building Work Policy, builders can be held liable for structural defects for up to six years and three months after the fact; this

requests for assistance if residents were better prepared and had an emergency plan in place.

“Taking safety precautions like preparing our home as well as having an emergency kit and evacuation plan are very simple, but incredibly effective.

“Getting ready for storm season now will help reduce possible damage and will limit the risk of being injured during storms.”

Storm season runs from October to March and preparing your home for extreme weather events is simple.

Trim overhanging trees and branches, clean out gutters and downpipes, secure or put away loose items in yards or on balconies, check the roof is in good repair and make sure your home and contents insurance is up to date.●

is a long time to have something hanging over your head.

“Because of this, they’re often opting to stick with what they know and purchase through suppliers they have long and enduring relationships with.”

Master Builders believed there was an imperative for the building and construction industry to identify new and improved products, processes and systems that would help drive down the cost of building.

“Innovation is essential to business growth, competitiveness and productivity in our industry,” Mr Bidwell said.

“Competition continues to increase and the cost of building continues to rise, so we need to start looking at new ways of doing things, if we’re going to continue to thrive in the future.”●

BEST known for its north-facing bay protected from southerly winds and swell by a series of picturesque points, Noosa Heads’ natural landscape has long been a strong draw for visitors from across the country and around the world.

Since the 1920s tourist have been visiting Noosa Heads but it was in the wake of World War II that the industry began to boom.

Noosa’s green spaces, its world-class national park, absolute beachfront low-rise hotels and the cosmopolitan Hastings Street with its boutique shopping and fine dining, attract tourists again and again, and it’s no surprise that many visitors decide to buy property as an investment or to move to the area.

With skyrocketing property prices in capital cities like Sydney and Melbourne, and the unbeatable lifestyle opportunities Queensland coastal living offers, more city dwellers have been attracted to the suburb.

Elysium Real Estate Noosa principal Sean Cary said Noosa Heads’ location central to Hastings Street, Noosa Junction the Eastern Beaches and the River were part of what made the suburb so popular with residents.

“There is a range of property types that suit most buyers and the undulating terrain gives it interest and great views form some areas,” he said.

“Growth in the area has been very good in the past four years, and values specifically in Elysium have given fantastic returns to owners in that time.

“Two years ago most properties in Elysium were selling in a price range of $650,000 to $850,000, however now it is difficult to find a property priced under $800,000 and we have been achieving prices in excess of $1,500,000 for new homes, which is really exciting to see.”

With the beach on one side, national park on another, and surrounded by canals, there is almost no vacant land remaining in Noosa Heads.

“With very few vacant blocks of land in Noosa Heads, we are seeing more and more older home being renovations renovated, either to sell or simply owners

making improvements with a view to staying for the long term,” Mr Cary said.

“Why would you move from such a great position!

“Rental demand is strong and while we see good demand and low supply in the market we will continue to see growth in prices.” ●

ELECTION WISH-LIST FOR REAL ESTATE AS the Queensland election looms, the Real Estate Institute of Queensland is urging candidates to consider the needs of the industry that employs about 50,000 Queenslanders, and improve the health of the sector.

The peak body is calling for three things: 1. Expand the first-home buyers grant.

Currently only first-home buyers who are building their first home or buying off the plan are eligible for the grant.

The REIQ argues this locks out thousands of equally-deserving young Queenslanders from the property market.

They are calling for the grant to be broadened to include established homes as well as new builds, arguing it is cheaper to buy an established home than to build, and saying it would bring thousands of young Queenslanders to the property market, especially in regional areas.

2. Abolish stamp duty. The peak

body said the tax was inefficient and disproportionate, that it stalled housing mobility and delivered uneven revenue to the government - bringing revenue up when house prices were up, and lowering revenue when prices dropped.

The REIQ said the 2011 Henry Tax Review suggesting stamp duty should be replaced with a more efficient system was well-founded.

3. Introduce mandatory continuing professional development. The REIQ has said protecting consumers was the reason the body was pushing for mandatory continuing professional development for all real estate practitioners.

Their goal was to ensure real estate agents were as qualified, educated and professional as other professions that handle people’s wealth - like accountants and solicitors.

With the Queensland election looming, the state's peak body for the real estate industry has a few requests.
