NEWS FEATURE

COTTAGE’S OVERHAUL NEW CAFE AND RESTAURANT COMING Penrith City Council is seeking innovative food and beverage operators for a new café and restaurant at the soon to be refurbished historic Police Cottage on the Nepean River.

Thanks to an innovative idea by Penrith City Council, the former Emu Plains Police Cottage is being brought back to life through an adaptive reuse of the property into a unique dining experience that blends heritage, nature and modern conveniences across 240sqm of retail space, with outdoor seating and magnificent views of the Nepean River.

Penrith Mayor Karen McKeown said the transformation of the Police Cottage is part of Council’s vision to revitalise Penrith and improve our connection to the Nepean River with increased amenity and vibrant spaces for people to eat, meet and relax.

“The revitalised Police Cottage will be the crucial link in the growing dining circuit along the Nepean River, playing an important role in enhancing our greatest natural asset and improving the gateway to the new Regatta Park precinct,” Cr McKeown said.

movements on weekdays and 1,700 on weekends,” Mr Ayres added.

Constructed in 1908, the Police Cottage was the purpose- built police station and residence for Emu Plains. The building will be sensitively refurbished with the restoration of the façade, replacement works to the verandas and roof, services upgrades, internal enhancements and the upgrade of the outdoor privy.

An extension of the deck is also proposed to create a 106sqm outdoor dining area, shaded by a row of mature Jacaranda trees with views of the iconic Yandhai Nepean Crossing and the Nepean River.

Interested food and beverage operators can submit a Request for Tender until July 5 via this link: https://bit.ly/3c8YWG3.

The Development Application for the refurbishment of the Police Cottage has been submitted, and construction is set to commence in late 2021.

To find out more about the Police Cottage and its redevelopment visit the website penrith.city/ policecottage.

“The refurbishment of the 113- year- old Police Cottage will not only attract more visitors to the area, but also celebrate and conserve our history for generations to come.

“We are looking for an experienced food and beverage operator that shares our vision for showcasing local and sustainable produce and materials, to provide a premium casual dining experience and quick service takeaway, helping visitors make the most of

their time at the river.”

State Member for Penrith Stuart Ayres said the refurbishment of the Police Cottage on Crown land is supported by a $1.5 million injection by the NSW Government and a further $1 million contribution by Penrith City Council.

“The Police Cottage will be a highly sought- after venue due to its prime riverfront location on the Great River Walk adjacent to the Yandhai Nepean Crossing which attracts up to 1,300 pedestrian

BROKING BREAKDOWN

LENDER WARNING WHAT SOME BANKS DON’T LIKE

MARK STEVENSON BELLPARTNERS.COM

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on the financial world, with one of the by-products being the growth of short-term or payday lenders, particularly over the past 12 months.

The need for alternative sources of finance in these troubling times, especially for those who have lost work, has resulted in the emergence of many new players in the short- term lending space, much the same way buy now, pay later operators have moved into the credit sector.

But what Bell Partners has seen is using a payday lender can have an adverse impact on your credit score and make it more difficult for you to secure a loan with a bank for a mortgage.

There is a mix of responses from lenders on how they treat the payday mob, and some banks will not accept an application where a client has had a short- term loan any time within the previous 90 days.

This is a complex issue for regulators as different lenders are adopting different policies. Unsecured lenders are essentially saying ‘no’ while some asset finance lenders are okay with the likes of Afterpay but not with other buy now, pay later operators. Other lenders are treating the likes of Cash Converters as a personal loan as opposed to a payday lender.

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), has been seeking data greater

collection powers across nonbank lenders, which could allow it to bulk up its regulation of the sector.

Mark’s shout...

ASIC collects data across insurance and superannuation but does not have data collection rights across managed investment schemes, funds management and non-bank lenders.

According to ASIC Commissioner Karen Chester, having a greater data capability would allow the regulator to proactively and precisely pursue matters adversely impacting on consumers. ASIC has alerted Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg about the areas where it lacks data collection powers.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES When it comes to renting out your investment property you want to ensure that you rent your property out as quickly as possible and also for the most rent possible. The best way to achieve this is to make sure your property is presented to the highest standard. You must ensure that the property has had a thorough deep clean which includes things like cleaning from top to bottom your windows, ovens, ensuring that your carpets are steam cleaned and don’t just have a standard clean performed, it needs to be thorough. This will help present the property well but also ensures that on your ingoing inspection report there should be no concerns when the tenants are handing you back the

property. This also helps with creating a happier transition in for your new tenants.

Another key factor for renting out your investment property that you need to think about is ensuring your property is advertised to it’s full potential including being featured in your agent’s local print ads, as well as across their website, on flyers or handouts as well as looking at an upgraded online listing with the major online portals.

You always want to attract the best potential tenants on the market and to do it as fast as possible. It’s important to also remember that advertising to secure your tenant can be a tax deduction so don’t limit your options on your choice of tenant trying to save a few advertising dollars. Speak with your agent on the best way to achieve the best results.
