‘I have been reading about Australia’s Electric car, the Blade. And when might this be available? I hear you ask, well right here, right now. In fact, its been available since February 2008. Given the cost of a charge at $1.50 for a 100 Km, and the convenience of plug in recharge. I am suprized only 30 or so have been sold. Now the State government and many councils have ordered these cars. The public can buy the second hand models at a reasonable price.
Let me detail the advantages, cheap to run, Zero emissions, Quiet to drive, cheap to service and great reliability.The cars are made locally in Castlemaine, Victoria, as a conversion of the popular lightweight Hyundai Getz. There are plenty of us waiting for the great range of brand new car models like the GM Volt , the ECC, the Smart car, the Nissan Leaf or Chinas Chery. But for those who like to buy cheaper second hand, the Blade is now available, at www.bev.com.au/

Eastlink Freeway, Effect on home renovating values
July 30, 2010 by Tim
Filed under Renovating, property market, tips
Today, I note the valuation effect of the new Eastlink road a $3.6 Billion Freeway. It links Frankston to Ringwood via a 39 Kilometre tollway. The State Valuer General has noted that the outer East and South Eastern suburbs, have jumped by substantially more than the Melbourne average. The quick access to the city has caused values to jump. Even the historically, largely less valuable areas like Pakenham, Berwick, Rye, Toogarook, and Narre Warren have had strong valuation increases. Please note Valuers Generals figures are usually about a year out of date, as they take time to be collated and released.
The opening of a new transport link like a freeway can have a compounding favourable effect for 25 years, as exampled by the Westgate bridge, opened in 1977 which opened up the Western suburbs. Traffic on the Eastlink Tollway has increased strongly over the last six months, with the June figures up 15% to 169,000 a day. The expectation is for future traffic growth, especially when the new Peninsula freeway is completed and linked to the Eastlink. The Eastlink tollway is still in its inital “ramp up ” phase which will last for atleast and extra year.

population pressures on the home renovating market.

The BIS Shrapnel figures on the forecasts for NET immigration are reproduced as follows : As most Australians are not aware of population movements. I am critically keen to publish these figures when one finds them. reference afr 26/07/2010
The figures are 147,000 for 2006
233,000 for 2007
277,000 for 2008
300,000 for 2009
falling to 240,000 for 2010
175,000 for 2011
145,000 for 2012
rising gradually to 250,000 by 2015.
As these are only rough forecastes, the actual figures will be quite divergent. One might like to be acutely aware that several categories of people are not included in these figures, there are New Zealanders, who have easy access, returning Expatriate Australians, returning to our growing economy, short term business overstayers, tourists and other overstayers.
On balance, I suggest the NET immigration figures might even stay relatively stable over this period.

Population factors effect on the homes property market.

Filed under Renovating, property market, tips
Recently, as a byproduct of the election campaign, more details of the growth of Australia’s population have been released. Apparently, some major parts of the Immigration numbers have not been counted the 457 Visa for Employment migrants have been ‘rorted “, as so many low skilled jobs, like Hairdressers and chefs have been included, when these groups of people are not required as Highly Skilled migrants. All of the returning expatriate Australians working overseas have not been counted, given there are close to a million Australians working overseas, some 100,000 could easily be returning to Australia. Plus the NZ people who have easy access, and are not counted as immigrants. Numbers of people on Temporary protection visas are not counted : same with overstayers and tourists overstayers. This is apparently a hot political election issue. The student numbers are the area I like, they would make a cat laugh. As numbers have tripled in the last six years to reach 400,000. The most popular courses are English, cooking and Hospitality.

I have noticed in my area, the Nunawading region, some six furniture stores out of sixteen, in Whitehorse road, at Nunawading have closed. This suggests a glut of furniture, recently, a few new stores have reopened, but they are all at the discount end. There are some excellent furniture sales, as I note the opening of the Super AMart has a $2,000 rebate, see www.SuperAMart.com.au While Fantastic Furniture has a Home lot deal from, for as low as $1,999. Other sharp deals can be pursued via www.clearancecentre.valiant.com.au offering up to 75 % off or www.DirectBuy.com.au, or secondhand furniture at www.UsedVictoria.com some 40% off, or other second hand furniture at www.exhotelfurniture.com.au, www.bevmarks.com.au or Hughes Renovators Paradise at www.hughesonline.com.au or www.discountdirect.com.au
