ental properties can be targeted as sites by people looking to manufacture drugs.

Illegal drug manufacturing can cause considerable damage to rental properties and cost landlords thousands of dollars in repairs and subsequent lost rent.

Terri Scheer Insurance Executive Manager, Carolyn Parrella said tenants involved in cultivating illegal drugs, such as cannabis, methamphetamine and ecstasy, can go to great lengths to hide such activities.

“Temporary drug laboratories in rental properties can be difficult to detect if you do not know what to look out for,” she said.

Ms Parrella offers the following tips to help property managers identify any suspicious or illegal activity.

Conduct regular property inspections: “Carrying out regular property inspections will increase the chances of detecting

any illegal activity, assist landlords to lodge insurance claims as soon as possible and potentially mitigate loss,” Ms Parrella said.

“It takes three months to cultivate a hydroponics crop so carrying out quarterly inspections will increase the chances of detecting any illegal activity as soon as possible.”

Modifications to property: “Some hydroponic systems or temporary drug laboratories require specific modifications to the property,” Ms Parrella said.

“Check for potential tampering of the property. Some hydroponic set ups require pipes or hoses to be filtered through the roof or a designated man hole. Look for holes in the ceiling as they could lead to hydroponic systems.

“It is also a good idea to check whether the meter board has been tampered with or rewired.

Holes in nearby walls or built-in cupboards are common in order to feed wires to a power source.”

Look out for unusual items or activity: “Certain items are commonly used to manufacture illegal drugs, including glass flasks, beakers, rubber tubing, gas cylinders, chemical containers, drums, drain cleaner, acid garden fertiliser and cough, cold or allergy medicine,” Ms Parrella said.

“Portable air conditioners are also often used when cultivating hydroponic crops.

“If such items are present at the property and appear inconsistent with practical use, it may indicate the presence of a drug laboratory.”

Malicious damage to property: “From an insurance perspective, any damage caused by drug cultivation, such as holes in walls and doors, through to damage to carpets and floor coverings is considered a malicious act, and likely to be viewed as an insured event,” Ms Parrella said.

It’s also advised to report any suspicious behaviour to police.

Bits&Pieces Minister for Finance and Services Dominic Perrottet and Minister Assisting the Premier on Western Sydney Stuart Ayres (pictured) have announced the NSW Government is starting to look for new office space that will be home to about 250 public servants in Liverpool and Penrith.

“We promised to deliver more services and employment opportunities to western Sydney and we are getting on with the job of finding new office accommodation to relocate more than 3,000 public service jobs to the region,” Mr Perrottet said. “As part of this plan we are now approaching the market through an expressions of interest campaign to lease around 5,000 square metres of office space in both Liverpool and Penrith centres. The NSW Government will not own the new office accommodation, but will be its anchor tenant.”

NEVER CLEAN

Stuart Ayres MP, Member for Penrith welcomes the news that the work to reduce congestion and improve safety for motorists exiting the M4 motorway via the off ramps at Russell Street at Leonay is progressing well with the project on track to be completed by July. Mr Ayres said the NSW Government has provided $2 million to the work as part of the $246 million pinch point program which improves existing bottlenecks on the road network to reduce delays for road users. “The off ramp at Russell Street has been identified as a critical pinch point for motorists with westbound vehicles using the off ramp to exit the M4 queue backing onto the motorway, blocking through lanes and increasing the risk of high speed crashes,” he said.

Recent reports that New South Wales and Victoria will follow the Queensland Government and introduce price guide bans are baseless, according to REINSW CEO Tim McKibbin.

“I cannot envisage this happening in NSW,” Mr McKibbin said.

“Since the Queensland Government announced its plans, REINSW and other key industry players have said that the ban is not the solution for the issue they are trying to address.

“We just can’t see the NSW Government making the same mistake that the Queensland Government is about to make.”

REISA President Ted Piteo told Real Estate Business earlier this week that South Australia have their own system that he thinks works well. “If an agent believes a property is worth $450,000, but the owner wants $500,000, that’s fine but the advertised price has to be the higher of the two, so $500,000 – and the reserve cannot be set any higher than 10 per cent above that.”

Emu Heights

@wwpenrith

Quiet luxury On the edge of the Blue Mountains, Emu Heights is a unique pocket of the Penrith LGA

E

mu Heights is located on the western side of the Nepean River, at the foot of the Blue Mountains.

It is bounded by the suburb of Emu Plains, the Blue Mountains Local Government Area and the Nepean River. The historic Old Bathurst Road which cuts through the suburb is used as a convenient road by those living in the lower Blue Mountains.

Emu Heights rises above Emu Plains to overlook the Nepean Valley and the surrounding Penrith suburbs across the river.

Emu Heights is on the Blue Mountains Escarpment which

2750 creates a unique blend of housing and natural beauty away from the busy flow of the city.

The name Emu Heights was formally assigned in early 1976.

Prior to this time it was known locally as The Estate and was a neighbourhood of Emu Plains.

Originally the area consisted of orchards and dairy farms but these gradually disappeared as the farms were sold and redeveloped.

Residential development in the area, the topography, and the already growing usage of the name before 1976, all contributed to the name’s official assignation.

Emu Heights is located in North Ward of the Penrith Local Government area.

Emu Heights is located in the State Government Electorate of Penrith. Next elections are scheduled for March 2015.

It is in the Federal electorate of Lindsay.

Emu Heights is located in the Deerubbin Local Aboriginal Land Council Area.

The Emu Heights Neighbourhood Centre on Wedmore Road is a hub of activity in the area, while the suburb’s education needs are serviced by Emu Heights Public School, also on Wedmore Road.

Picnic facilities and a park is available at the reserve in Gosling Street.

Emu Heights is a quiet, family friendly suburb that is home to around 3,500 people.

Its appeal comes in that it is a quiet, suburban area just minutes from both the Penrith CBD and the beautiful lower Blue Mountains, providing a very unique mix for the residents who have chosen to settle there.

I just love this place

I Steve Wood steve@mbrrealty.com.au

the agent says Next week: We look at another great suburb in the Penrith LGA

have lived in Emu Heights for more than 30 years, so I know this beautiful area extremely well. I truly love the area and believe it is the greatest suburb due to the bushland surrounds and its close proximity to Penrith.

Emu Heights offers all the benefits of country living with the comfort and convenience of urban lifestyle thanks to its mountainous terrain and being just seven minutes from Penrith’s CBD. My parents moved to Emu Heights in the early ‘80s and I remember not wanting to move away from my childhood friends and relatives back in Panania in the inner south-west.

In hindsight it was the best decision they ever made because over the last 30 years I’ve seen how much this area has flourished.

I remember my very first week in Emu Heights hearing the moo cow sound effect on the milk truck driving up the street, and I honestly believe some three

decades later that this area is still very much like a country town.

It’s kept that essence and aura of trust but has flourished while keeping its innocence.

A few years ago I remember moving back into the Emu Heights area after living for some time in Jamisontown. I’d always look up at Emu Heights when I was gardening longing to one day return.

Four years ago my wife and I did because we wanted our kids to grow up in a quieter, protective and safe environment.

In my street alone nearly every second house has a young family and I’m the same with two young children of my own.

Our street is so tight knit that often our kids will come out and play with the neighbours’ kids, and before you know it, everyone’s getting in on the act.

Emu Heights is also a great suburb if you’re an investor because in essence the area hasn’t really changed in the 30 years I’ve

been there. I have a passion for all homes in the Penrith area but homes in Emu Heights I have a real passion for.

I am in a position to be flexible with commission.

I am happy to offer you a really competitive rate and am confident that with my knowledge of the area and experience I can get you the very best price possible.

Don’t let it become a tip: Yes, your garage is great for storage but there’s no reason to make it resemble a rubbish dump. Keep your garage organised and clean. It’ll allow you to have more space and better access to things you’ve chosen to store.

t’s that time of year when the weather is getting colder and the days are becoming a little more, well, grey. But don’t despair, if you’re missing the memory of summer and its vibrant colours why not bring a little brightness into your home.

The interior styling gurus at Zanui have found just the thing for you; homeowners meet chevron. Going back as far as ancient Greece – where it was found on rock carvings and pottery – this is surely the ultimate in retro styling. Since then the bold v-shaped pattern has shown up on everything from military uniforms to Art Deco period interior design along with knitwear, through brands like Missoni.

You can also add a bit of interest to stairs by painting the underside.

Or, if you’re looking for something a little larger, with not quite as much commitment as painting, why not try a statement rug for the living room or bed room.

If you love colour, and are feeling quite confident, mixing chevron

This is a look that can suit any interior, from those who want something big and bold to those looking for a small splash of colour. So why not give chevron a chance and bring this ancient pattern into your home.

For more tips and style ideas visit www.blog.zanui.com.au.

Use boxes: Don’t just randomly throw your items in your garage. Get some really good shelving and some storage boxes. We’re not talking old cardboard boxes here, but legitimate storage boxes from a storage store.

Mark the boxes clearly and place items you wish to store in them. This will keep the items in really good condition and also ensure you have easy access to them when they’re needed.

You could be closer than you think to that first home or investment property!
