Mountains on the rise Western Property Issue Number 142 PRODUCED BY The Western Weekender and Western Sydney Publishing Group EDITORIAL CONTACT Troy Dodds 4722 2998 troy.dodds@westernweekender.com.au SALES MANAGER Chris Pennisi 0421 121 985 chris.pennisi@westernweekender.com.au

estern Sydney’s emergence as one of the state’s leading business hubs is helping position the Blue Mountains as an increasingly attractive destination to live.

CBRE’s Thomas Mosca said the rise of major business centres such as Penrith, Liverpool and Parramatta was making the Blue Mountains a more viable location to live and commute from.

“With a big push toward public transport, people are no longer seeing the Blue Mountains as being ‘too far’ anymore. And with several major business precincts located in Sydney’s greater west,

the prospect of a ‘tree change’ is now more attractive than ever,” Mr Mosca said.

Highlighting the area’s growing profile is the recent sale of a residential development site in Leura, which was recently purchased by developer Velkin Holdings for $2.050 million.

Located at 8 Great Western Highway, the circa 2,277sqm site has development and Council approval for a 19-unit apartment project. Mr Mosca, who negotiated the sale on behalf of Rocks Developments, said the property’s development potential in a growing residential catchment area underpinned the sale.

“The Sydney-based purchaser was extremely interested in the opportunity to acquire a development site in the Blue Mountains given some recent presale success that has occurred in other local projects,” Mr Mosca said.

“With this being the last site to be approved for apartments in the Leura CBD vicinity due to a zoning change, this represented a unique development opportunity that is unlikely to be repeated.”

The property benefits from a central location in the Leura village, positioned within walking distance to the Leura Train Station, mall and local school, making it an ideal location.

How much is the gap in your budget?

I

Rebecca Jarrett-Dalton Two Red Shoes www.tworedshoes.com.au

The Broker’s View “Acknowledge it and make conscious, informed choices”

spoke recently to a group of business women and we touched on budgeting, which is not my jurisdiction but all the same it evoked responses.

I talk about budgeting as understanding so you can make conscious choices about your spending, so I talk about going through your bank statements methodically to understand what it is you spend your money on.

Invariably there’s a column that stands out as an issue, it might be the entertainment column, or clothing or too much spent too often on treats – or it just might be the unknown, as in you literally don’t know where it goes… a gap if you will.

In the conversation after we discussed a workshop where participants were asked to do just this exercise and disclose how much their “unknown” column, the gap in their budget, amounted

to. The answers were in the tens of thousands of dollars a year. It doesn’t take much to realise that taking control of this can make a huge difference in your life.

The gap is life, I get it. And you have to live, life is short. The point is to acknowledge it and make conscious informed choices.

What worries me most is in some cases I know the gap is more than you can afford. If the balance on your credit card is growing every year – you’re spending more than you earn. And what is worse still is that to manage this takes more and more income to cover the increasing interest bill, which effectively makes the gap larger and larger.

So what can you do about it if the gap is out of control?

Realistically there are only two answers – reduce your costs or increase your income. Reducing your costs may mean reassessing

your loans, but more likely it’s looking at your expenses and tightening the belt for at least a time.

But what if the gap is affordable but now you know it you want to put it to better effect? Redirect this lost money consciously into saving or even making you money – pay extra into your loan to save interest or start investing, if your gap is a few hundred dollars a month what can this do in a managed fund? Food for thought.

Perfect kitchen Giving your kitchen a new look is serious business, especially given it’s one of the busiest rooms of the home

W

To help you step outside your comfort zone Shaynna suggests experimenting with colour in smaller elements, such as the splashback, or introducing bespoke handles to cabinetry.

Though playing around with design can be fun, it’s also important to keep functionality in mind when designing.

located in a place that corresponds with each appliance.

When it does come time to create a new kitchen don’t overlook the importance of updated appliances.

“Old appliances in a modern kitchen will turn heads for the wrong reasons,” Ms Blaze said.

“Coloured appliances can add

Keep your house secure Padlocks: When it comes to garage and shed doors, make sure you use a heavy duty padlock. They can be broken but the noise and time it takes may be enough to deter a potential thief.

Turn the alarm on: Get into the habit of turning the alarm on when you leave the home. An alarm is great for scaring away thieves and alerting the neighbours to a potential break in.

hen it comes to home living the kitchen tends to be one of the most

used rooms.

Interior designer and ASKO advocate Shaynna Blaze has some tips to help create the perfect space for you and your family.

The first aspect to consider is how you want to use the kitchen.

“The configuration and space required depends on the different types of functions in the kitchen other than just cooking,” Ms Blaze said.

“Will it be used as a seating area at the bench, a place for kids to do homework and is it part of a full open plan living space?”

When it comes to the design side many homeowners opt for neutral colours and safer options.

@wwpenrith

“The kitchen layout must be practical,” Ms Blaze said.

“Allow for the most commonly used appliances – fridge, sink and oven – to be placed in the ‘work triangle’ so that moving between them all is only a couple of steps away.”

Another thing to consider is power points and gas and water outlets, which will need to be

a splash of colour and contrast, while simple design and neutral colours can add to a timeless look that will last.”

Lastly, follow Shaynna’s lead and always keep storage front of mind, while introducing as much natural light as possible to help the kitchen feel more spacious.

Now, have a look at your kitchen and get your thinking cap on!

Are you at home? Take steps to make any potential thief think you’re in the home.

Don’t close your curtains during the day, as this could suggest your home is empty.

You could even consider using automatic time switches.

Be consistent! Use your garage as much as possible if you have one. If you leave your car in the driveway all the time, it’ll be obvious to a potential thief when you’re not at home.
