Emergency services were kept busy last weekend - Around midnight Friday, a Holden Commodore crashed into shops at the Lindsay Beach Shopping Centre. Police have charged a male with reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
Around the same time, in another incident, police apprehended a male youth - A Capricorn Estate resident said: “Young man jumped our fence running from the cops! He came into our house running from them. Frightened the life out of my daughter, son and his
friend who's here for a sleep over.” Around midnight Saturday, a fire was deliberately started in bushland near The Reef Estate at Two Rocks. Nearly 100 hectares of land was burnt and Two Rocks Road was closed for several hours.

New K to Year 12 school for Two Rocks Earlier this week, in a joint announcement, Nick Perrignon from Capricorn Village Joint Venture and Gary Harris, principal for the Atlantis Beach Baptist College, said the new ‘school-ofthe future’ would be open in February 2016. The college will utilise the latest technology in modular building, to enable the school to commence on site construction in July 2015 and be ready to open on first February 2016. The speed of construction and the high technology modular building techniques guarantees that Atlantis Beach Baptist College will be at the forefront of new education facilities. This includes a special emphasis on IT communications both in speed and range, especially to facilitate virtual classrooms which will widen the capacity of the school to provide on-line linkages for remote learning for country students. Atlantis Beach Baptist College will commence with a target of around 200 students from Kindergarten to Year 11, with Year 12 classes to commence in 2017. Atlantis Beach Baptist College will commence with 16 class rooms, administration buildings and a library for the opening of the college in landscaped grounds. The demand will come from the rapidly growing areas of Eglinton,
Alkimos, Yanchep and Two Rocks which are all within 15 minutes travel time of the school. Public bus transport is already available in Two Rocks and arrangements are underway for school buses to be established to service the college. It is expected that students from outer areas of Gingin and Lancelin will also take advantage of this latest generation education facility. The college will also boast a major auditorium and sports facilities. The auditorium will also be used by a new Baptist Church, which is a much needed facility in the local communities of Yanchep and Two Rocks. The track record of educational performance across the Baptist Colleges is demonstrated in their flagship Lake Joondalup Baptist College, which achieves one of the highest outputs of University ready and Vocational Education Trained students in Western Australia. This school is a model of the College to be established at Two Rocks, and represents one of the most modern, leading education facilities in Western Australia. Atlantis Beach is a master planned community that is being developed over 425 hectares of land by the Capricorn Village Joint Venture at Two Rocks.

Marina upgrades The Sun City News was told unofficially, that this part of the marina is a mess with many and various issues and problems including concerns about asbestos, general jetty safety some section of the hard-stand are fenced off.
Towards the end of last month, the Minister for Transport, Dean Nalder, announced that work to upgrade the parking, widen the boat launching area and establish a new 50 metre floating jetty at Two Rocks marina in a two stage process costing in total around $1.7 million, would be completed before summer 2015/16. Work has already started on improving the parking and safety concerns at the recreational boat ramp. Mr Nalder said: “Since assuming short term operational management of the facility last November, the Department of Transport has been working with local stakeholders and
marina users to develop a work plan to improve operations at the increasingly busy site.” The second stage of the upgrade will see the launching ramps widened to two lanes and a central 50 metre floating jetty installed. Work will be carried out to realign the revetment wall, provide an access path, install solar lighting and upgrade the signage. The Sun City News under-stands the Department of Transport is still preparing their report on the issues and problems related to the commercial facilities and moorings in the Two Rocks marina.
The Department of Transport has been establishing an understanding for past leases at the facility plus the ‘housing’ arrangements for a number of families at the Two Rocks marina. Once these issues have been resolved Expressions of Interest are expected to be called for an interim management of the Two Rocks marina, while the State Government develops a long term vision for an expanded and upgraded regional facility at this site. This long term plan has been on the WA State Government’s agenda for some 20 years, back in the 1999-2000, Yanchep Sun City Pty Ltd consultants along with City of Wanneroo senior management spent many hours and thousands of dollars developing a long term plan that appears to have been shelved.
New plan for dust management Last week, City of Wanneroo announced it would review its dust policy to manage sand drift from large scale developments in the northern corridor. Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Simms, said with 16 residential developments currently under construction north of Quinns Rocks, a new approach was needed to manage sand drift and dust. “Council has requested the current policy be reviewed and the City is looking at how other
local governments are responding to this issue,” he said. “In the meantime the City’s planning team will contact land owners to discuss how they can better control the sand drift and dust.” Mr Simms said the City was aware of recent dust issues in Two Rocks and was working with developers of Atlantis Beach Estate to manage the problem.
“We are confident a positive outcome has been achieved in the short term but will continue to prioritise this issue over the winter months so it isn't an issue in summer. The City is eager to work with the community for a better approach to the management of sand and are encouraging land owners of large scale developments to revise their management of earthworks and subsequent occurring dust before the commencement of construction.”

Council provides answers At last week’s City of Wanneroo council meeting, administration provided answers to three question John Quigley asked at the previous month’s meeting. To Mr Quigley’s questions, it took City of Wanneroo four weeks to provide an eight line answer to the three questions. Council declared they had spent $256,077.23 during the 2013/14 financial year for external representation and advice on SAT related matters. They also disclosed that they had spent a further $109,617.13 on external representation and advice on SAT related matters in the 2014/2015 financial year up to the end of December 2014. The City of Wanneroo also declared that $195,000 was spent by the council related to SAT matters involving Greenpark Asset Pty Ltd and Goldrange Pty Ltd. No further details were provided.
What meeting? Over the past month, numerous Yanchep and Two Rocks residents have complained at the lack of notification about the City of Wanneroo council meeting that was held in Two Rocks last month. Just over 12 months ago, a former manager of City of Wanneroo’s Media and Public Relations department engineered the council to reduce their newspaper advertising and use online and social media. Newspaper advertising, the only reliable form of notification in the region, was drastically reduced or ceased in various publications, leaving many locals uninformed.
Residents say State Government must save Seabird houses of residents are at immediate risk.
Minister for Lands, Terry Redman was handed a $1 million plus rescue plan for Seabird.
“There are legal impediments to both the residents and the shire protecting this property ... the only authority that can do it is the State. I don’t know of any other situation where a person’s house can just disappear from under their feet where they have no comeback.”
Seabird residents met Mr Redman, last Friday, to show him the extent of the erosion and demand State Government funding to help fix it. Mr Redman was also given details of a proposal devised by marine engineering group, Subcon, that would involve the installation of artificial ‘reef modules’ offshore and the creation of onshore groynes through sandbagging. The proposal, which is similar to a plan proposed for the same site in 2002 by a Government-commissioned Worley engineering report, is estimated to cost between $1 million and $1.5 million.
Seabird Progress Association president, Garry Thomas, said Mr Redman told residents he would raise it with Cabinet. Mr Thomas said in the near term they wanted to find $150,000 for detailed engineering and feasibility studies.
Nationals WA Member for Moore, Shane Love, who also attended the Friday meeting, said the Subcon proposal was beyond the resources of the Shire of Gingin and residents. Mr Love said: “I think there needs to be a very strong response here because the
Erosion has been threatening Seabird since 2000, when the big swells claimed part of a road. Erosion began accelerating again last year and is within metres of several houses. The erosion is on unallocated crown land, which falls under the State’s jurisdiction. NOTE: This article first appeared in The West online, on 4 May 2015.
New streetscape in Capricorn Capricorn Village Joint Venture has endorsed a program of streetscape upgrades in selected areas of their Capricorn Yanchep project to ensure key areas of the project are well presented. The works are focussed on areas along Two Rocks Road and Lookout Drive close to
the Capricorn Beach precinct. The upgrade work includes the removal of some older streetscape plantings, including four trees that were originally installed as transplants by the developer. Unfortunately, the transplants have not been as successful as anticipated, and as a result
the developers have made the decision to remove the trees and replace them with new stock that will provide a better standard of presentation. The final tree selection is currently being discussed with the City of Wanneroo. The first phase of works are
underway including weeding and mulching along Two Rocks Road and the removal of plants along Lookout Drive. CVJV said in many cases, the plants being removed had been offered free of charge to Capricorn residents for their own gardens. The works should be completed by the end of May.

Get your flu shot before the flu gets you Federal Member for Pearce, Christian Porter, is calling on all residents in his electorate of Pearce to get their annual influenza shot, with a new, improved vaccine now available. Mr Porter said the influenza vaccination available under the National Immunisation Program now protected against the three most prevalent flu strains following a severe flu season in the northern hemisphere winter just gone and a record season in Australia last year. “Vaccination is the best defence against the flu, which contributes to many thousands of deaths annually across Australia,” he said. “The more people who are vaccinated, the less chance the illness spreads throughout the rest of the Pearce community. Those most at risk of the flu are those members of the community who are ill, vulnerable, pregnant or elderly.
Wanneroo key to growth in Perth’s north-west
“The message for Pearce is simple - get your flu shot before the flu gets you this winter.”
“In addition, a second rail option from Clarkson to the central business district is being investigated. These transport initiatives will contribute to reducing the reliance on roads.”
The National Seasonal Influenza Immunisation Program began on Monday 20 April, following a rare double strain change in the vaccine to ensure Australians were protected against the most likely strains this winter.
Minister for Planning, John Day, said the ‘Perth and Peel@3.5million’ report had identified enough land for urban and employment to meet the expected demand for homes and jobs in the sub-region. The draft framework covers land use in the cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup. Mr Day said: “Almost 50,000 of the required homes will be provided through greater infill development at activity centres such as Joondalup, transport corridors and station precincts, coupled with greater residential density and mixed-use development
to revitalise existing suburbs. The emerging centres at Yanchep and Alkimos will provide significant numbers of homes. “Almost twice the amount of employment-generating land required to meet projected demand has been identified in the sub-region with a substantial reserve in Nowergup, North and South Pinjar and Carabooda, as well as undeveloped land at the existing industrial centres of Neerabup and Wangara. The Minister said boosting employment options across the sub-region would require strengthened access to
existing and planned transport infrastructure in other sub-regions. “The north-west’s proximity to the north-east sub-region and the potential intermodal terminal at Bullsbrook could maximise this economic advantage,” he said. “An upgrade to existing roads will facilitate urban development within the Yanchep-Two Rocks and east Wanneroo areas. A potential future extension of the northern suburbs passenger railway from Butler to Yanchep will link activity centres and provide employment opportunities.

Mr Porter said influenza activity across the country is currently variable, but there are already early indications of a severe season ahead this upcoming Australian winter with higher levels of the disease across the eastern seaboard states and South Australia.

More than 3000 want post office Earlier this week, residents from Yanchep presented Local politician, John Quigley, with a petition with over 3,000 signatures petitioning for the establishment of an Australia Post office shop in Yanchep. Mr Quigley, WA State Member for Butler said: “With the population explosion in Yanchep and surrounds, there is definitely a need for a post office in Yanchep. “Three thousand signatures is the biggest petition I have presented to Parliament. “Australia Post says that there must be at least two and a half kilometres between Australia post office shops, but the nearest is nine
kilometres to the north in Two Rocks and it does not open Saturdays.
Encouragement and assistance is offered to Golf WA and all affiliated clubs to improve and expand their development programmes for adults. With the challenges that golf faces in competing with other sports an increasing focus of the Foundation will be to provide funding for programmes that target adults who have not played the game before and those with high handicaps.
“I shall continue to fight vigorously until Australia Post announce that they will establish a post in Yanchep.” Mr Quigley said he would read the petition in State Parliament at the earliest opportunity and he would forward the petition to the Federal Minister for Communications, Malcolm Turnbull, requesting a post office.
Following a recent successful application to the WA Golf Foundation, the Gingin Golf Club has been awarded funding for the coaching of adult ladies and men who are either high handicappers or novices. We have been fortunate to secure the professional services of Danielle Montgomery from the Carramar Golf Course as the primary coach.

Headmaster has concerns about social media Only last week, local state member, John Quigley, raised the urgent need for a new high school in Yanchep.
Over the past month there has been extensive coverage about bullying and other issues that appear to have been around for several months.
He demanded the Barnett Government allocate $70 million to build a new high school and reallocate the $10.5 to bring Yanchep DHS up to standard.
The Acting Principal, Ian Johnston, said in last week’s school newsletter: “I am concerned about the quantity and nature of some of the Facebook material being circulated through the community at present.
In state parliament Mr Quigley said: “The people of Yanchep have been dudded three times over. Firstly, we were told that there would not be an increase in the tax base. Secondly, we were told that millions and millions of dollars, $10.5 million, would be spent on upgrading Yanchep High School.
“I can assure you the school is actively engaging in procedures to address issues, such as bullying and theft and if you are concerned about aspects such as these, I would appreciate hearing from you. “The truth of the matter differs from that being published through some media communications and I would encourage you to speak with the school regarding the facts of issues being raised.” It has been reported to the Sun City News, by many parents, that the school is and has been aware of the bullying at Yanchep DHS, but continually fail to do anything about it. As one parent told the Sun City News: “The teachers are well intended, but not very bright when it comes to dealing with these issues at school.” The Sun City News is aware that Yanchep District High School is trying to get one Facebook page closed down - The administrator of the site says: “I've created this
“I agreed that that was a lost cause. The government actually needs to build a new high school.
page due to my frustration of the school and the constant bullying that occurs there. The staff seems incapable or unwilling to deal with.”
office, but were unable to get the contact details and asked if the Sun City News could provide the contact details - See bottom of the article.
North Metropolitan Education office regional manager, Paul Meacock, told the Sun City News, last month: “We have received very little evidence or correspondence to support suggestions that Yanchep District High School has major issues with drugs, assaults and bullying.”
No doubt there are some wonderful achievements being shown by some students at Yanchep DHS, but these are being over-shadowed by the behaviour of some students and teachers.
Several parents contacted the Sun City News stating, they had tried to contact the district head
When a school enters into legal and verbal issues with ‘media bans’ it is questionable what the school’s or certain teachers motives really are.
“The government has spent Western Australian taxpayers’ money on acquiring the site, which is now sitting idle in Yanchep. “Thirdly, the government has failed to come good on its broken promise about rail to Yanchep. “My electors out there just want the basics, a road to get to work that is not a parking lot at six
o’clock in the morning. They want to see employment created out there and that can only be created once the rail head hits Yanchep. “It was all sunny until the public got conned by the Premier, who said the government would spend $10.5 million upgrading the Yanchep District High School to give the kids half a chance. “A temporary headmaster has gone to Yanchep high school from one of the inner-city high schools to fill in the while the headmaster is on long service leave. “He walked onto the campus and he was shocked that such a school existed in the metropolitan area. “He has already been to see the Department of Education and he has told all this to the school council, which has reported the same to me. He said he did not think people in high school would be taking lessons on what amounts to a verandah in the design and technology department.” The Sun City News has contacted the Minister for Education and will publish his reply, when it is received.

Robomaid vacuum cleaners warning Consumer Protection has issued advice to WA consumers who have ordered a Robomaid automatic vacuum cleaner and are yet to receive it, to claim a chargeback from their credit card provider or PayPal. Robomaid Australia, the company which has been importing the product from China, has ceased to trade but has not yet appointed a receiver or liquidator. Acting Commissioner for Consumer Protection Gary Newcombe said there may be many affected consumers not aware of the company ceasing to trade.
Heifer quality on the rise The annual Gingin Heifer Competition was held in midApril. Competition was intense with 12 local breeders bringing a high standard of quality to the day.
At the conclusion of the day, Brad Kupsch said: “The cattle breeders in the Gingin area are to be congratulated on achieving a high level of quality.
The commercial section was won by local breeder, Steve Neville, with a score of 90 points out of a possible 100 for a pen of four superior Black Angus heifers.
“The standard of cattle breeding in Gingin has improved consistently over the years of the competition and it’s very pleasing to see the results of quality management by local breeders.
Second place, with 89 points was awarded to Alan Greenwell. There was a tie for third place between David Roe , Murray Hyne and David Kelly each with 88 points. There was also a tie for the stud section of the competition. Equal winners were Dale and John Jansen's Black Angus and Errol and Brendon Howard's Speckle Park heifers. Twelve entrants selected up to two pens of four heifers with a total of 80 heifers being judged on the day and included Black and Red Angus, Murray Grey and Speckle Park breeds. Judges, Tony Sudlow from Kapari Angus, and Brad Kupsch from Tara Limousin, with Black Tara Angus had the tough job of assessing the entries and awarding the points.
“The day highlighted the depth of Gingin cattle breeding and showcased the season’s top commercial and stud heifers from the Gingin district.” The heifers were judged on their suitability as future breeders with points awarded for temperament, structural soundness, femininity, carcass quality and evenness of pen for a maximum score of 100.
Winner: Steve Neville.
Winner: Dale Jansen.
Competition organiser, George Gifford, said: “This competition has seen a steady improvement in quality of cattle coming from the Gingin region. “Over the years, the quality of our Gingin beef has improved enormously, and continues to shine a spotlight on the local industry.” Judges: Brad Kupsch and Tony Sudlow.
Winners: Errol and Brendon Howard.

Pirates success rolls on
The game got underway under clear skies after the match ball was dramatically delivered by parachute. Jurien Bay had a number of players out injured which resulted in a handful of reserves being plucked from the ground during the last quarter of the reserves’ game to play league. Luke Innes scored the first goal of the game and from
early on, it was evident that Jurien’s poor tackling and lack of speed was going to cost them dearly. By quarter time the Bulldogs were looking at a 7 goal deficit and had failed to post a goal. One of the few shining lights for Jurien Bay was Harley Litchfield providing some strong rebound from the backline. In the second quarter Jurien Bay had no answer to strongman Aaron Jarvis, and
slick on-baller Warren Benjamin, who were unstoppable for the Pirates. Lancelin Ledge Point kicked the first two goals and looked like they might run away however, Jurien Bay stepped up the pressure and were no doubt relieved to score their first goal when Jackson Lavell-Lee marked in the pocket at the 17 minute mark and kicked truly.
as the Pirates piled on 9 goals to 3 in the third quarter.
Luke Bakker scored their second on the siren and given the first quarter, the Bulldogs would have been happy to only concede a couple of points to the Pirates in the 2nd quarter and headed to the long break down 2.5 to 9.8.
Their fortunes weren’t helped when one of the best performers, Luke Bakker, suffered an injury to his leg and retired from the game at three quarter time with the scoreboard reading 18.12 to 5.8.
The Bulldogs kicked the first goal of the third quarter and some were questioning whether a comeback might be on the cards. But the Bulldogs run came to an end
Daniel Hookway was instrumental for the Pirates in the backline, marking strongly and rarely missing a target via hand or foot. A couple of umpiring decisions in the third quarter left the Pirates supporters bewildered but the superior fitness and skills of the playing group were clearly too much for Jurien Bay.
With the result in no doubt, the last quarter was a mere training run for the Pirates as they kicked 4.8 to Jurien’s single goal resulting in an 18 goal win for Lancelin Ledge Point, 22.20 (152) to 6.10 (46)

Last Wednesday night, Cabaret Cave at Yanchep National Park provided a unique backdrop for the launch of the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Singular Moments Series.
Taking place in one-of-a-kind locations across Australia over the coming months, the series will celebrate the unique character of each barrel with truly special experiences. The setting for the first exclusive event, was inspired by the Jack Daniel’s Cave Spring in Lynchburg where the natural spring water produced at the distillery is used as an essential ingredient in the whiskey making process. Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel takes pride in having the highest standards when crafting and selecting their whiskey and this was brought to life on the night with a whiskey tasting led by Brand Ambassador Linus Schaxmann. Guests learnt how just one in every 100 barrels are handselected by Master Distiller Jeff Arnett to be set aside to mature in the uppermost reaches of the barrelhouses. The dramatic temperature variations trigger the colour and taste to deepen further, in turn developing a robust flavour with notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and caramel. Whiskey connoisseurs were also treated to a three-course dinner paired with top-notch cocktails in the confines of the cave. Linus curated the delicious menu, which featured an entrée of Bruschetta accompanied by a Single Barrel Sazerac. For the main course guests enjoyed a Slow Roasted Sirloin of Beef served with a Smoked & Spiced Single Barrel Old Fashioned, followed by Tiramisu and a Single Barrel Espresso Martini playing on the subtle coffee and chocolate notes of the whiskey. Ambassador Linus Schaxmann said: “Whiskey complements and enhances delicate food flavours and the launch event enabled guests to sample this first hand. Throughout the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Singular Moments Series we’ll be offering guests complimentary whiskey tasting masterclasses and opportunities to learn more about pairing artisanal ingredients with craft whiskey in remarkable surrounds.” Taking place in a spectacular location in Sydney, the next chapter in this series promises an exclusive talk from an individual of true character and the chance to enjoy whiskey as you’ve never experienced it before.

When can food really be called 'natural'? author of bestselling Food Rules. Judges sought the definition of the word so they could adjudicate the cases and found there was none. At least, no defining one when it came to its questionable use on food products. What is natural anyway? It is a question Michael Pollan asks in a new analysis for the New York Times. In the past few years, he says 200 class-action suits have been filed against food manufacturers, for the misuse of the word ‘natural’. There are ‘natural’ Cheetos Puffs, ‘all-natural’ Sun Chips, ‘all-natural’ Naked Juice, ‘100 percent allnatural’ Tyson chicken nuggets. "The plaintiffs argue that many of these products contain ingredients – high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavours and colourings, chemical preservatives and genetically modified organisms – that the typical consumer wouldn't think of as 'natural'," says Pollan, a professor of journalism at Berkeley University as well as the
The judges wrote to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), requesting a definition, which the FDA refused. "The only advice the FDA was willing to offer the jurists is that a food labelled 'natural' should have 'nothing artificial or synthetic' in it 'that would not normally be expected in the food'," Pollan explains. "The FDA states on its website that 'it is difficult to define a food product as "natural" because the food has probably been processed and is no longer the product of the earth', suggesting that the industry might not want to press the point too hard, lest it discover that nothing it sells is natural." In Australia, where labelling rules are regulated by Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ), the situation is similar.
"'Natural' claims are particularly persuasive to Australian consumers but there are no enforceable food standards regulating the use of the term," say the authors of a recent paper exploring the subject. "These kinds of voluntary statements may be subject to Australian Consumer Law which is administered by the ACCC," an FSANZ spokesman said. Looking at ingredients commonly used in foods marketed as 'natural' they found additives as varied as natural colour caramel, the synthetic colour 129 (allura red), gelatine, vegetable gum, hydrolysed vegetable protein, maltodextrin and inulin. One recent survey found that nearly 60 per cent of people said they look for the term ‘natural’ on food labels when they shop. We are as confused about what it means as everyone else though it seems, with a lack of consensus among those surveyed about whether these ingredients were OK to be included in ‘natural’ foods. "Can we really distinguish between healthy and unhealthy foods by looking at the wrappers,"
asks Sandra Jones, professor and director of the Centre for Health Initiatives at University of Wollongong. The best wrappers are the ones made by nature, Jones says, like banana peels and the skin on vegetables. "If you are buying your food wrapped in plastic or paper, it's a little more complex. We need to see past the colours, pictures and cleverly crafted claims and take a careful look at the ingredients and nutrition panel." Obviously the foods that don't need an ingredients label, let alone to claim that they're natural in the first place, are the closest to nature. "The most natural foods in the supermarket seldom bother with the word; any food product that feels compelled to tell you it's natural in all likelihood is not," Pollan says. For most of us, that rule is enough – or if we look for a ‘word’ we look for certified organic in our fruit and veg, dairy and meat. That said, in this day and age, Pollan questions what natural (the
dictionary's definition is "existing in nature and not made or caused by people: coming from nature: not having any extra substances or chemicals added: not containing anything artificial") actually is. On the one hand, everything is natural – made from nature, as in matter. This makes even your chickenless chicken nuggets ‘natural’ in some sense of the word. "And yet at the opposite end of the spectrum of meaning, where humanity in some sense stands outside nature, as most of us still unthinkingly believe, what is left of the natural that we haven't altered in some way? "We're mixed up with all of it now, from the chemical composition of the atmosphere to the genome of every plant or animal in the supermarket to the human body itself, which has long since evolved in response to cultural practices we invented, like agriculture and cooking. Nature, if you believe in human exceptionalism, is over. We probably ought to search elsewhere for our values." Source: Fairfax Media.

Do you need a building inspection before you buy? A pre-purchase building inspection condition should state: n who pays for the report (usually the buyer); n the required completion date; n any criteria, such as an assessment of any structural defects; n actions necessary if the inspection finds that the dwelling does not conform to the declared standards required by the buyer.
Before committing to buying a property, consider including a building inspection as part of your contract for the purchase so you can avoid any nasty surprises once you've moved in. A good building inspection will provide you with information that could ultimately influence your decision to purchase the property. It will assess things like whether the house is structurally sound and whether you can expect major expenditures in the future.
When should a building inspection be carried out? Ideally, a building inspection would be completed before you make an offer to purchase. However, this process isn't always practical as it can cause delays. More commonly, a buyer will include a building inspection as a condition to an offer to purchase a property. This condition should be carefully written in order to avoid confusion or misunderstanding.
In the event of a negative report, the prepurchase inspection condition should offer the seller the option of fixing the problems within a set time frame. If the seller refuses to comply, the buyer should have the option of terminating the contract.
Building inspections should be personalised Your building inspection report should also be tailored to suit the age of the property. When buying a recently built home for example, it makes sense to have a thorough inspection of the property’s fixtures and fittings (including the quality of the cabinet making and tiling) in addition to the structural report itself. Naturally, with an older home you would expect a reasonable amount of wear and tear so your primary concern should be with any structural faults that could lead to expensive repairs, like damage to the foundations and not with minor matters like rusty gutters. A reputable building inspector, ideally a registered builder or architect, will discuss all these issues with you and more to create an inspection that suits your requirements and provides you with peace of mind about your greatest asset.
Who is responsible for damage in a tenancy? When things break or are damaged during a tenancy, it can be tricky to work out who is responsible for rectifying the problem. If you find yourself in a situation where you are renting and damage has occurred, figuring out who is responsible comes down to two factors; what kind of damage it is and how did it occur?
Intentional or negligent Any damage that is a result of an intentional act or negligent behaviour on your part is your responsibility. If you cause damage to the property, you must inform the owner or property manager of this immediately. They will then advise how to proceed with repairs or replacement, both of which you will be expected to pay for.
Third party damage Any damage caused by a third party not directly connected to you or anyone else living in the premises is the responsibility of the owner to repair or replace. This would include damage from someone you did not invite into the premises or by an event outside of your control e.g. a breakin or storm damage.
Your possessions are damaged
Who takes care of urgent repairs? An urgent repair is required when an essential day-to-day necessity of the home requires immediate fixing or to avoid exposing anyone living in the home to risk or hardship. If something within the home requires urgent repair, you must inform the owner or property manager as soon as possible. Once they have been informed, they must arrange for repairs within 24 hours for essential services and 48 hours for urgent repairs.* Essential services include; n gas n electricity n water (including the supply of hot water) n a functioning fridge (if supplied) n working sewerage, septics or other waste water treatments In the event you are unable to reach the owner or property manager, or you contact them and they fail to take action, you are then within your rights to have the minimum repairs carried out by a qualified tradesperson and claim back costs. These costs must be reasonable and you should be reimbursed as soon as is practical after repairs are completed.
In the event your possessions are damaged from a problem within the home, such as the roof collapses or there are water leakages, then you might be able to recoup the cost of these damages from the owner.
For more information about where you stand in the case of damage to a rental, read the Renting a home in Western Australia; a tenants guide brochure by the Department of Commerce.
The owner is also liable for damages if they damage your possessions while they are inside the home.
*Note: This just means that the arrangements must be made within the 24 or 48 hour time frame, not that the actual repairs must be completed during that time.
