WA Cyclone: Time to Prep Your Property Portfolio?

by

Tropical Cyclone Threatens Northern WA: Prepare Now

Property professionals operating in northern Western Australia, particularly the Kimberley region, are urged to prepare for a potential tropical cyclone. A tropical low, currently north of Kalumburu and northwest of Darwin, is likely to intensify into a cyclone, potentially reaching Category 2 by Sunday/Monday and possibly Category 3 by Tuesday/Wednesday. Cyclone watches are in place from the Berkeley River mouth to Cockatoo Island. Residents and businesses should secure properties, update emergency kits with essential supplies, and stay informed via the Bureau of Meteorology and Emergency WA. Gale-force winds and heavy rainfall are anticipated, potentially impacting coastal areas significantly. Professionals are also advised to monitor a second system near northeastern Australia which could impact later in the week. Act now to mitigate risks and ensure safety.

Kimberley Property Alert: Cyclone Errol Brews, Insurers on Notice

by

Cyclone Errol's potential formation serves as a critical reminder for Australian property professionals operating in the Kimberley region. Beyond immediate preparation, proactively integrating long-term risk mitigation strategies is crucial.

Assess insurance coverage across your portfolio, emphasizing adequate protection against wind, rain, and flood damage, scrutinizing PDS for exclusion clauses and clarifying ambiguities with insurers. Landlords, ensure policies cover property damage and potential rental income loss. Inform tenants of the need for their own contents insurance.

Implement preventative measures: secure loose items, trim trees, clear gutters, and consider reinforcing windows and doors. Promote these actions to tenants and owner-occupiers. Leverage local council resources for property risk assessments.

Post-cyclone, navigate repairs cautiously. Obtain multiple quotes, verify tradespeople's licenses and insurance, avoid large upfront payments, and insist on written contracts.

Understand consumer rights under the ACL and advise your clients accordingly. Be aware of dispute resolution avenues: direct business negotiation, consumer protection agencies, tribunals, courts, and the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) for insurance disputes. Stay informed via the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and DFES updates. Integrate climate change risk assessments to future-proof development. Investing in resilience measures now reduces potential financial and structural losses later.

Govt Jobs Grants: What They Mean for Aussie Property

by

The Federal Government's Remote Jobs and Economic Development (RJED) programme, a $707 million initiative replacing the CDP, aims to boost employment in remote Indigenous communities. The initial grant round is projected to create over 650 jobs across remote Australia, with future projections estimating around 3,000 total jobs created. While the RJED program doesn't directly fund property endeavours, it indirectly impacts the property market by potentially increasing demand for housing and incentivising infrastructure improvements.

For Australian property professionals, this presents both opportunities and challenges. Increased employment may lead to higher rental demand and property values. The need for more affordable housing and the constraints of limited housing stock remain significant hurdles, however. The ANAO has criticised aspects of the RJED program, raising questions on the effectiveness of the grant allocation procedures.
This requires stakeholders to monitor developments carefully, focusing on sustainable job outcomes, infrastructure improvements, and economic diversification, alongside the program’s reception at a community level to fully leverage any potential investment opportunities in these unique markets. The next round of grant outcomes is expected in June 2025.

Easter 2025 Holiday Hotspot Trends: Property Market Insights

by

Maximise the Easter break with a well-planned getaway. Accommodation books up quickly, so Australian property professionals should advise clients early. Prioritise easy-to-reach destinations or travel during off-peak times to avoid holiday traffic. Balance activities with relaxation, whether exploring a national park or unwinding by the beach. Pre-planning is key: pack snacks, download maps, and research activities to avoid wasting precious holiday time. Top Australian destinations include Bellingen (NSW), Lennox Head (NSW), Second Valley (SA), Rainbow Beach (QLD), Cable Beach (WA), the Kimberley (WA), and the Outback (NT/WA). For shorter international trips, consider Thailand, Vietnam, or Sri Lanka.

Sydney Cyclone Risk: Climate Science & What It Means for Property

by

Sydney Cyclone Risk: Implications for Australian Property Professionals

Recent cyclone activity, shifting further south than usual, highlights the growing need for Australian property professionals to address the impacts of climate change on cyclone behaviour. While a direct hit on Sydney remains unlikely, increased cyclone intensity and potential shifts in frequency and geographical reach demand proactive adaptation from architects, developers, and investors.

Climate scientists predict more intense cyclones due to warming oceans, necessitating revised building codes and stronger structures capable of withstanding higher wind loads and rainfall. Coastal developments face increased risks from storm surges and erosion, requiring robust protection measures. Uncertainty around cyclone frequency and season length poses challenges for development timelines and insurance premiums.

Although a full-blown cyclone hitting Sydney is improbable, ex-tropical cyclones can still cause significant damage, requiring awareness and preparedness among NSW property owners. Experts urge the sector to incorporate climate change projections into risk assessments, invest in resilient building materials, and collaborate with government to update regulations. The future resilience of Australia's built environment relies on proactive adaptation and a commitment to building a safer, more sustainable future.

Broome Rentals Hit Crisis Point: Affordability Locks Out Locals

by

Soaring rents in Broome, WA, are forcing residents to make drastic decisions. REIWA reports median weekly rents have hit $1,000, an 11% jump in just three months. This "affordability ceiling" is pushing some, like Kelly McCalman, to relocate interstate, while others like Jenni Lowe have been forced to purchase property despite already owning an investment elsewhere. Even high earners are struggling, with one accountant facing a $250 weekly rent increase. REIWA President Joe White emphasizes the need for increased housing supply to alleviate the crisis impacting renters and property professionals alike. This situation underscores the urgent need for diverse and affordable housing solutions in regional WA, a key issue in the upcoming state election.

Invasive Garden Weed Threatens Aussie Property Values

by

Alert for Australian Property Professionals: Invasive Weed Detected

WA's Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) is urging property professionals in Western Australia, particularly in the Kimberley region (Kununurra, Wyndham, Broome, Halls Creek), to be vigilant for the invasive fringed spider flower. First detected in WA in 2024, this weed, originally from northern Africa, poses a significant threat to horticulture and agriculture due to its highly invasive nature and ability to grow anywhere.

Recognisable by its light purple/pink flowers and hairy stems (which can irritate skin), the plant spreads via seeds carried by various means. If you suspect its presence on a property, crucial for property managers and developers to note, do not attempt to remove it yourself. Contact DPIRD immediately via the MyPestGuide Reporter app or on 9368 3080 for safe removal and disposal. Early detection and reporting are key to preventing its spread.

WA Election: Youth Justice Reforms and Their Property Market Impact

by

WA's youth justice system is a key election issue, with all parties acknowledging reform is needed. After recent crises at Banksia Hill, including two deaths in custody and unlawful lockdowns, the focus has shifted from punitive measures to early intervention and culturally appropriate solutions. Labor's "On Track To Thrive" program targets at-risk children, while the Liberals propose juvenile rehabilitation centres in the Kimberley and Goldfields. The Nationals champion community-led programs, empowering local solutions. Advocates argue for greater investment in addressing root causes of youth crime, particularly for Aboriginal youth, emphasizing on-country diversionary programs like the Bedford Down Walk. While "tough on crime" rhetoric persists, experts believe focusing on social issues like poverty and disengagement offers a more effective long-term strategy. This election presents an opportunity for WA property professionals to consider the social impact of development and advocate for community initiatives supporting vulnerable youth, contributing to safer communities.

Cyclone Alfred: What Sets This One Apart, Mate?

by

Cyclone Alfred presents unique challenges for Queensland and northern NSW property professionals due to its rare formation as one of three cyclones, its unusually slow and erratic movement, and its uncommon southerly track. This results in prolonged coastal impacts: extended rainfall, coastal erosion and increased storm surge threat. Property owners should immediately inspect properties for vulnerabilities, secure loose items, and review insurance coverage.

Key advice for property professionals includes acting swiftly to advise clients about preventative measures, and to be across relevant Queensland Government initiatives like the Queensland Reconstruction Authority and Get Ready Queensland. Furthermore, be familiar with community support offered by organisations such as GIVIT and Red Cross. Moreton Bay residents affected by the cyclone are now eligible for disaster relief funding including grants for essential household contents and structural repairs. APN urges property professionals to stay informed and support their communities during this challenging time.

Autumn Heatwave: Property Sector Braces for the Flow-On Effects

by

Australia is experiencing an early autumn heatwave, with record-breaking temperatures impacting property owners and professionals across WA, SA, QLD, and the NT. Yulara recorded its hottest autumn day ever (45.3°C), and Oodnadatta had its hottest March day in 75 years (46.1°C).

Heatwave warnings are in place, with temperatures forecast to exceed 40°C in many regions. This extreme weather has implications for property valuation, building material durability, energy efficiency (cooling costs), and tenant well-being. Property professionals should advise clients on heat mitigation strategies, including insulation upgrades, energy-efficient cooling systems, and water conservation measures. Consider the potential impact on property values and insurance premiums in heatwave-prone areas. The Bureau of Meteorology provides updated heatwave warnings and temperature forecasts.

Kimberley Shire Council Shake-up: Property Market Implications

by

Mass resignations cripple WA's Shire of Derby-West Kimberley. Five councillors resigned, leaving the shire without quorum and impacting its ability to function. Deteriorating finances were cited as the primary reason, with former deputy president Geoff Haerewa stating the shire is "technically broke." While details remain unclear, this highlights the increasing financial pressures facing local governments. Australian property professionals operating in regional WA should be aware of this development as it may impact future development approvals, infrastructure projects, and overall economic stability in the region. The Department of Local Government is working with the Shire CEO to manage the crisis.
