Key workers priced out of capital cities
as posted here
Emergency workers and teachers are unable to afford homes in seven out of eight Australian capital cities according to a new report.
Bankwest's second annual Key Workers Housing Affordability survey reveals that despite slight improvements in housing affordability in the past year, both segments of the population face an uphill battle in pursuing their property dreams.
"Our research shows that key workers are still doing it tough across Australia with most being locked out of the property market in the city they serve," said Bankwest Retail Chief Executive Ian Corfield.
"These are the essential workers Australians rely on everyday to provide important services and most continue to be priced out of the housing in the communities in which they serve."
Key workers include nurses, teachers, police officers, fire-fighters and ambulance officers. Of Australia's 480,000 key workers, 244,000 are teachers, 172,000 are nurses, 44,000 are police officers, 11,000 are fire and emergency employees and 9,000 are ambulance officers.
Bankwest released its first Key Workers Housing Affordability report in June last year, highlighting how house prices were rising faster than key worker earnings. Despite house prices in 2009 falling 2% nationally, median house prices remain more than five times a key workers annual earnings.
All capital cities, apart from Darwin, experienced modest improvements in affordability for key workers during the past year - affordability improved the most in Perth with the median house price to earnings ratio for key workers dropping 1.2 years to 6.3 years.
Seven capital city local government areas (LGAs) moved from being unaffordable for all key workers in 2008 to being affordable for some - Clarence City and Kingborough in Hobart, Blacktown and the Blue Mountains in Sydney and surrounds, Logan in Brisbane, Yarra Ranges in Melbourne and Gosnells in Perth.
Average salaries used in the Report were $51,553 for nurses, $55,029 for teachers, $73,237 for police officers, $50,471 for fire-fighters and $63,414 for ambulance officers.

Cockatoo planning decision made
as posted here
The City of Gosnells has continued its long-running work to assist the Black Cockatoo Preservation Society by giving retrospective planning approval for six outbuildings at a private residence in Martin.
At the same time it has imposed conditions to ensure noise levels from the private property meet legal requirements.
Acting Chief Executive Officer Adelle Cochran said Council had worked with the Society for months to assist it in getting a new operations centre up and running and it had been disappointing to see so much misinformation distributed by the Society about the City's position, especially on the internet.
"Inaccurate and misleading information has been distributed and accepted as fact and published online and in the media with no effort to check the real situation," she said.
"I want to state categorically that there has at no stage been any threat from Council to close the centre. To the contrary we have worked long and hard to assist the Society to carry out its work within the relevant legal framework.
"We have provided the Society a bigger, better, facility at a peppercorn rent at the former Cohunu Wildlife Park."
"On 14 July Council passed a resolution that grants conditional retrospective planning permission to six unlawful outbuildings at the private residence in Martin, while at the same time addressing the noise issues identified in a report by a Society appointed noise expert. This study found noise levels of between 46 and 53 decibels at the property boundary, which exceeded the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 legal level of 35."
"The City would now urge the Society to relocate its main operations as soon as possible to avoid further issues and to make sure planning conditions applying to the private residence in Martin are adhered to."
