Queensland building approvals ahead
Posted on Wednesday, December 07 2011 at 3:28 PM
While the nation saw building approval declines of 0.7 per cent for the month of September, Queensland’s building approval rate remained steady at 5.7 per cent, according to Queensland’s Deputy Premier and Treasurer Andrew Fraser.
“…the HIA (Housing Industry Association) released its new home sales report, which actually showed that Queensland again bucked the national trend – achieving a 5.7 per cent increase in the volume of detached house sales while Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia all posted declines,” said Fraser.
Fraser credits the performance to the $10,000 Queensland Building Boost starting to flow through the sector, combined with the Reserve Bank of Australia cutting interest rates in early November.
Councils choose to allow mining exploration
Posted on Wednesday, December 07 2011 at 2:45 PM
Eight regional councils have chosen to allow new applications for exploration permits, despite the Queensland Government’s announcement to put a stop to it, according to Queensland Employment, Skills and Mining Minister Stirling Hinchliffe.
In August the Queensland Government announced that no new applications for exploration permits would be accepted over urban centres with a population of 1000 or more, said Hinchliffe.
“We asked councils to base their decision on what was considered to be in the best interests of the community. They were asked to inform government whether they wished to opt in or out of those interim arrangements,” he said.
Consultation with communities and industry was undertaken about how to balance exploration and urban living on a long-term basis. A discussion paper, Exploration and Urban Living Striking the Balance, was released, and since this process, the following eight councils chose to opt out of the interim arrangements: Blackall-Tambo, Charters Towers, Cloncurry, Isaac (town of Clermont), Mount Isa, North Burnett (towns of Gayndah, Mundubbera, and Monto), Rockhampton (Mount Morgan) and the Tablelands (Herberton).

Water safety for everyone
We know that water safety is
important, particularly when we speak
to those that know of an incident or
have been affected by an incident.
A National Drowning Report is put out
each year by the Royal Life Saving
Society of Australia and although
swimming pool safety is revolved
around under 5 year olds, here are a
few statistics from this year’s report to
show you that everybody needs to be
respectful towards water.
•
315 people drowned in Australia
between 01 July 2010 and 30 June
2011
•
93 people drowned in Queensland
(the second highest state)
•
Drowning deaths occur all year
round with 41% occurring in
summer
•
20% occurred in winter
•
241 (77%) were male and 71
(23%) female
•
114 (36%) drowning deaths
occurred in river /creek / stream
locations
•
Being swept away accounted for
24% in river / creek / stream
locations
•
Driving was the next highest
activity in those locations at 18%
•
The number of people drowning in
Australia has increased for the
third year in a row
•
37 people drowned in swimming
pool locations
•
In total 28 children under 5
drowned
•
Swimming pools were the leading
factor for drowning deaths in
children under 5
•
117 people over 55 drowned
•
62 men aged between 18-34
drowned
•
The age group with the highest
number of drowning deaths was
the 25-34 bracket
This just goes to show that water
safety is an important message for
everyone. Swim between the flags,
don’t drive through floodwaters, avoid
swimming at night or after consuming
alcohol. For the full report http://

TENANT RESPONSIBILITY
It is the tenants responsibility to
ensure that all gates are kept shut and
not propped open.
It is the tenants responsibility to
ensure that all furniture and climbable
objects such as pot plants are kept at
least 900mm away from the outside of
the fence and 300mm away from the
inside of the fence.
Your landlord may not be covered by
insurance if they do not.
Selling a property with a pool
safety certificate obviously is the
best result for the seller, the
buyer and the salesperson.
Many sellers leave getting an
inspection done right to the last
minute, for example, once it is
under contract and/or almost due
to go unconditional or settle.
What sellers don’t seem to
realize is that buyers are
becoming increasingly more
aware of the rules and are
requesting pre-purchase
inspections to identify pool
compliance issues before they
negotiate. If there are issues with
the pool or spa they may try to
negotiate further than necessary.
If a certificate is already in place
Tips for Sellers
the buyer will have no need to
get an inspection or question the
compliance of the pool. This will
save everyone time and money.
Some sellers are concerned that
their property may not sell or are
thinking of taking it off the
market, so why bother? They still
need to be compliant to today’s
standards by 30 November 2015
and if they don’t sell, even
though the certificate is only
valid for two years, they don’t
need to get another one done
unless they sell or lease.
Another thing to consider for
everyone with a pool or spa is
that it is their statutory obligation
to keep their pool in a safe
condition, if it is not they may not
be covered by their insurance.
Having a pool safety certificate in
place will eliminate any doubt.
For homeowners, over 50% of
pools pass on the first inspection
with our company and even if
there are minor things that need
attending to and the client is on
site at the time of the inspection,
wherever possible we let them
know what to do and let them do
it while we are on site so that
they pass.
If they know they definitely won’t
pass a nonconformity report to
hand to the buyer is still a great
idea. That way they have more
of an idea of what it will cost to
rectify, rather than a wild stab in
the dark.
