We can go to the middle east & drop ordinance at a significant cost but cant evacuate volunteer medical services? With the exception of the Reston strain, Ebola virus is associated with very high morbidity and mortality among patients who present with clinical illness, though these vary...

On doing a search I was surprised at the limited posts that mention the ebola pandemic. Its going to be the human tragedy of our lifetime and I appreciate this is a property and wealth building forum but with a doubling of mortality numbers and 70% mortality rate, this virus has the...

Hi all After a draughtsman or architect on the Gold Coast please - just a small job. Anyone have any references or recommendations please?

Did you ever find one? We're in the same boat.

Hi all Considering moving from Gold Coast to Hervey Bay - so for PPOR, which suburbs would people recommend please? :confused: Probably rent first (try before we buy) - considering acreage, beachfront or preferably both. :rolleyes:

The solar pool heating is cheap & DIY these days so is probably more cost effective.

Another hot water alternative I've not seen here much is a wet back in an open fire place, sometimes called a donkey. Highly efficient but does require an open fire so great in winter.

Keep it simple, no GST exemptions, apply to everything. Increases revenue and creates a true consumption tax. no increase in % terms Lower company tax & reassess PAYG Absolutely abolish stamp duties & all other hidden taxes from here to eternity!!

Houses & units are poles apart on the GC and different markets altogether. Is it moving? Possibly - but how much & how sustained Ive no idea (I only refer to houses for GC). Employment is a key driver and tourism is flat, but the falling Australian $ helps. There is the Commonwealth Games...

But how do you lay solid timber onto concrete floors MRCCON?

Economy, % rates, and all of the above. But I see plain old cash flow as the underlying driver - up or down. If a household has dual income supporting a mortgage, and 1 looses their job - its only a matter of time before the financial burden leads to default (obviously based on LVR, etc)...

And confusion reigns, look at the posts here. And with confusion, lack of confidence. I don't think we appreciate the breadth of small business. Each GP is a small business, the gvt provides bulk billing that feeds into the economy and keeps the wheels of cash flowing. Now a lot of Drs are...

I'd suggest its probably a way around some of the council restrictions on duplex development of small blocks. Some blocks are zoned Res B but realistically the boundary width is to small to accommodate normal plans. One alternative is to have a narrow footprint with a basement car park...

Two lists, two genre's David Bowie - multiple Stevie Nicks - Gold Coast Rolling Stones - Brisy Brian Ferry - NZ Queen - NZ Dire Straight's - NZ x 2 Art Garfunkel - Gold Coast And JC Superstar - the concert (Australian version - this was timeless and breathtaking) Les Mis - Gold...

Ya, but keep it cheap as possible. I normally back fill with gravel in direct contact with the back side of the retainer, (simple easy drainage). And then my main fill behind that.
