Tips on Preparing your Property

Following on from last quarter’s tips, here are some more ideas on how to manage your property for profit.

1) Repair or outsource Make a decision on what repairs you can do & what jobs will be outsourced.

2) Research Before starting, get on the web and research the latest products that can save you time & money (profit). For example, there is great tile paint for old tiles - amazing products are now available.

3) Look at DIY Visit Bunnings or Masters and investigate what ‘do it yourself’ products are now available. You will be amazed how the renovation systems have improved on ready to install kits.

4) Do one room at a time Start your list by committing to the discipline of doing one room at a time. This avoids turning the house into an unliveable war zone.

5) Declutter, declutter, declutter As you are working through your rooms, it is imperative you also sort through your stuff. Decluttering a home can also be a life cleansing process. Box up the valuables and hire a skip for the end of the road items. Be ruthless, space is everything – a home shines when it can actually breathe.

6) Complete general maintenance Stay on top of your regular home maintenance tasks to avoid costly repairs in the future. Spending time now saves you hassles later. Ensure that minor repairs don’t turn into major expenses.

Community News

A senior official concedes residents may be underwhelmed by a soon-to-be-revealed million-dollar makeover of Tuggeranong Town Park.

But City Services director Fleur Flanery believes it is still a “pretty significant investment” that “responds to the community’s needs”. Tuggeranong Town Park has been fenced off to the public since at least February to allow the work and, at first glance, not much seems to have changed.

The 2013 masterplan for the 30-year-old Tuggeranong Town Park acknowledged that its original facilities had deteriorated or become obsolete. In some cases “facilities are non-compliant with current standards and community expectations” while other facilities such as a cafe or contemporary play equipment were “absent altogether”.

Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics this week showing families were flocking to Gungahlin while deserting Tuggeranong, the original Nappy Valley, prompted comments that Tuggeranong was losing its soul, that it was lacking in community, safety and quality education.

Mrs Georgiadis just scoffs at those kind of comments and says she’d never live in Gungahlin. “They don’t have backyards!” she said, with an exasperated laugh. “We’ve got parks, we’ve got a lake, we’ve got picnic areas. And it’s the people. They’re wonderful.”

Tuggeranong’s soul and sense of community are more than evident in the fantastic teachers at my daughter’s preschool. They are the definition of quality education. And that is present in schools and teachers across Tuggeranong.

That doesn’t mean Tuggeranong does not need attention in some areas. Improving its amenity is a discussion that needs to be had. Families who are struggling need support. The absolute dearth of big-ticket infrastructure needs to be questioned. The town centre does need to be revitalised.

“Tuggeranong is a beautiful place to live. Wonderful people. A lot of open space and natural beauty. I think people who live here understand what a great place it is,” said Mr Seselja.

Our Tuggeranong

The suburb Calwell was named after the Labor politician, Arthur Augustus Calwell, PC (1896-1973), he was a member of the Australian House of Representatives for 32 years from 1940 to 1972, Immigration Minister in the government of Ben Chifley from 1945 to 1949 and Leader of the Australian Labor Party from 1960 to 1967.

The suburb name ‘Calwell’ was gazetted 5 August 1975. Streets in the suburb are named for Victorian politicians. Outtrim Avenue between Johnson Drive and the Calwell Shopping Centre is named after Alfred Richard Outtrim who represented Maryborough from 1885 to 1920.

The population of Calwell is approximately 5,834 & the average age of residents is 35 years old.

My favourite thing about my job is:Helping people achieve their property dreams. My job is so satisfying when I see how happy my clients are.

I am best known for:Calmness under pressure. My laid back style allows me to be calm and this rubs off on my clients.

What do you love about Tuggeranong:There are local shops in almost every suburb and that provides a great community feel.

Favourite Canberra restaurant/café:Chairman & Yip.

In my spare time:I spend as much of it as I can with my partner and our daughter, taking her for swimming lessons and trips down to the coast.

My ideal holiday:New York, New York!!

My quote to live by:“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston Churchill

Self-managed super fund (SMSF) portfolio

There is obviously plenty to think about when structuring a portfolio for a new SMSF. Some points to consider include:

• Setting a compulsory investment strategy. SMSF trustees are legally required to prepare, implement and regularly review an investment strategy that has regard to the whole circumstances of their fund. These circumstances include: investment risks, likely returns, liquidity, investment diversity, risks of inadequate diversity and ability to pay member benefits.

• Investing within the rules. Trustees must: maintain a super fund for the sole purpose of providing member retirement benefits; not provide loans or financial assistance to members or their relatives; separate SMSF assets from their own personal or business assets; conduct transactions on an arm’s length basis; and adhere to the investment restrictions under the “in-house asset rule”*.

• Choosing an SMSF’s target or strategic asset allocation. A portfolio’s asset allocation - the proportions of its total assets that are invested in different asset classes of mainly local shares, international shares, fixed interest and cash - spreads risks and opportunities. Research has long found that a diversified portfolio’s strategic asset allocation is responsible for the vast majority of its return over time. • Getting the most from a skilled financial planner. Fledgling SMSF trustees can really benefit from quality financial planning advice with the establishment of a fund’s first portfolio and with the running of that portfolio. The setting-up of an SMSF is one of those times when financial planning advice can be critical.

* Under the “in-house asset rule” in superannuation law, SMSFs are generally prohibited from making loans, providing leases or having investments with related parties and entities that exceed 5 per cent of its total asset value. Certain exceptions apply including business property.

To discuss you SMSF investment options in further detail, or if you wish to obtain advice on your SMSF please contact the Needhams on (02) 6124 8700 or email [email protected]
