NEW developments along our coast will bepushed back a further 50m to accommodateseal level changes, erosion and severe storms.

A predicted increase in vertical sea levelsfrom 0.38m to 0.9m will result in an increaseto the horizontal setback for the general guidefrom 100m to 150m.

While the State Government in WA is con-fident the revised policy will accommodatecoastal processes across a 100-year planningtime frame, the Urban Development Instituteof Australia (UDIA) is concerned the StateGovernment’s revision to the coastal planningpolicy was too rigid.

UDIA CEO Debra Goostrey said while shedidn’t disagree that sea level rises needed to beaddressed, she did think that there are best-practice solutions that could be consideredother than just a blanket set back.

“UDIA believes that more flexibility fordevelopers is required to ensure that land isnot unnecessarily sterilised for any form ofdevelopment,” she said.

“Alternatives such as sea walls could beimplemented in some cases to protect devel-opment from a potential (sea level) rise.

“Worldwide new technologies and engi-neering solutions are popping up all the timeand it is important to acknowledge that therecould be other ways of protecting new devel-opment.”

Planning Minister John Day said the WA

Planning Commission found it necessary toamend the policy in recognition of nationallyaccepted and adopted increases in sea levelrise projections.

“The practice ofrequiring developmentsetbacks and foreshorereserves has been inplace in WA since the1930s, which meansWA is somewhat bet-ter placed than otherstates to deal with theimpacts of rising sealevel and stormevents,’’ he said.

“The decision hasfollowed careful consideration and reflects thelatest information from the International Panelon Climate Change (IPCC) (2007) and the

Australian Commonwealth Scientific andIndustrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)(2008), and is consistent with other state juris-dictions’ policy positions,” the minister said.

“The position statement places the State ina sound position to avoid negative and costlyimpacts of sea level rise on coastal develop-ment.

“It will ensure our state’s coastal planningguidelines are based on the most up-to-dateinformation, common sense and a precaution-ary approach.”

Ms Goostrey said there should be greaterflexibility and freedom for developers andbuilders.

“If a developer choos-es to use the land forrecreation facilities orrestaurants, and they areaware there is a risk thatin 50 or 100 years thatarea may be affected bysea level rise, it should beup to them to take thatrisk,’’ she said.

A full review of the State Coastal Plan-ning Policy has begun, with proposed

changes expected to be released for public consultation by the end of theyear. ■

ABEL McGrath Property Group has reasonto celebrate after a successful auction day onthe September 18 weekend.

Offered for the first time in 50 years, 86 and88 Blencowe Street in West Leederville weresnapped up – number 88 sold under the ham-mer for $1.855 million.

Set on a rare 905sqm block, 88 Blencowe isan iconic home to many locals for the statelyelevated presence and award winning gardens.

A recent deceased estate with the proper-ties left to the children, the properties hadthree months of cosmetic improvements with

painting, ripping up carpets and polishing of thejarrah floors. Then with the expertise of ahome stylist, the final presentation was of dis-play home standards.

Bidding was slow to commence and number86 was passed in. However shortly followingthe auction, two offers were received and itlater sold.

There was a carnival atmosphere at the auc-tion with volunteers from the Whitfords LionsClub holding a sausage sizzle to help feed thestrong crowd of more than 160, which includ-ed past owners and residents.

A lady in her 70s was in attendance, andapproached the team at Abel McGrath tellingthem her family, the Wardells, had owned num-ber 88 for many years and she was even bornin the house.

The current R30 zoning created the unusualopportunity for developers, as the two blockscombined would allow for five new homes.

Abel McGrath said nearby neighbourswould be pleased to know the new ownersplan to renovate and update the homes tomodern standards. ■

Sweeping verandahs enclose one-half of thedouble-storey home, with french doors fromevery room opening outon to them.

The gorgeous Mos-man Park property backsdirectly on to expansiveparkland, which stretchesas far as the eye can see.

The owners pur-chased the 1098sqmblock 20 years ago.

Having previously livedin Tasmania, the ownerwanted to recreate the home she had lived inthere.The elegant Georgian-style residence is atthe end of a long, tree-lined driveway.

Intricate wrought-iron gates at the archedentry to the home add a French touch. Inside,the foyer features a grand, curved staircase. Ital-ian stone lines the floor of the ground level, eachpiece meticulously laid by a local artist who tookmonths to complete the task.

A formal lounge and dining room flow onfrom the foyer, both light-filled and with stunning

park vistas.A more casual lounge area adjoins the meals

and kitchen area, whichoverlooks exquisitelymaintained, northerly

gardens.“We just wanted a

very peaceful home,one in which the doors

could be open all thetime,” said the owner.

“The park is just fullof birdlife.

“They fly in throughthe house all the time.”

There are four bedrooms, all located upstairs,most facing the park and with access to the

verandah.“We sit up here and eat our breakfast, it’s just

beautiful,” said the owner.There is nothing chaotic about this graceful

home. Sweeping views, combined with privacyand seclusion, make this opportunity a rarity. ■

Commissioned by the then owner a Mrs Paterson thissignifi cant home was designed by leading Architects of the day, Hine and Selby.

With a fresh paint fi nish throughout the interior and all external paintwork refreshed, there certainly isn’t much to do to this greatly admired West Leederville icon of over a hundred years.

The high ceilings create a sense of generous space and elegance; exquisitely detailed stain glass in key areas of “Tate Gallery” allow a fl ow ofnatural light without compromising privacy. Well proportioned living areas interconnect and also lead out to the garden area to the rear. Mellow hardwood fl oors fl ow throughout including the staircase. Air conditioning, an alarm system, ceiling fans, under stairs storage and a large linenpress are some additional benefi ts.

Three of the four bedrooms feature fi replaces enhancing the overall architectural Edwardian design integrity and are well serviced by sparkling bathroom facilities. A courtyard to the rear of the property serves as a usable entertaining/outdoor living area whilst creating a natural separationbetween the dwelling and the double garage with electronic doors. If you are looking for a classically beautiful feature property with original character and charm that’s coupled with the luxury of modern convenience, this unique piece of history is a “must” to inspect.

Investors lose out onmillions in benefitsWITH building approvals for higher densityhomes such as apartments and units skyrocket-ing, a growing number of WA investors aremissing out on hundreds of dollars in tax bene-fits.

According to tax depreciation experts DEP-PRO, first-time investors fail to understand thattax benefits are just as important as rentalincome.

New ABS figures show residential buildingapprovals in WA for higher density homestotalled $1.17 billion last financial year, indicat-ing a rise of more than $320 million.

The central Perth area, which includes thewestern suburbs, accounted for about 23 percent of all building approvals in the metro areaduring this period.

DEPPRO said higher density living hadbecome increasing popular in Perth, particular-ly along the northern coastal strip with theStirling coastal area accounting for over $50million in building approvals in the past year.

“It is unfortunate that many first-time prop-erty investors who purchase apartments and

units for investment purposes are still the mostcommon group of investors who fail to obtainthe full tax depreciation entitlements,’’ she said.

“While there are many issues concerningthe depreciation entitlements on properties, inmost cases, strata style homes such as apart-ments provide a higher rate of depreciationthan houses.”

Ms Tucker said when you consider that thepurchase price of these new apartments/town-houses can start from over $450,000, aninvestor could achieve significant tax benefitsthrough depreciation.

“Most investors do not realize that tax ben-efits obtained through depreciation can beequivalent to 60 per cent of the total purchaseprice of the property,’’ she said.

“For a new apartment in Perth this canequate to over $250,000 in possible tax bene-fits through depreciation.A large proportion ofthese tax benefits are never claimed whichmeans that each year hundreds of millions ofdollars in tax benefits are lost every year byinvestors not claiming their entitlements.” ■

LUXURY LIVING 23

LUIS La Pegna is proof that when itcomes to design flair, either you haveit or you don’t.

Nine years ago, the then 30-year-old decided to move away from acareer in hospitality and into interiordesign.

Without any formal qualifications,he established boutique design con-sultancy Dlux Inte-riors, which helater expanded intoa retail showroom.

Earlier thismonth, Mr La Pegnaopened his secondstore, a larger, moreupmarket show-room, in Nedlands.

“I’ve always hada passion for furni-ture and interiors,and my flair wasnurtured by familyand friends,” hesaid.

“It has remaineda constant part ofmy life.”

When he estab-lished Dlux Interi-ors in 2001, theWest Perth resi-dent said that Perthpeople were stillshy in their interi-ors, afraid to tryanything too boldor new.

“I’m drawn to French deco andHollywood Glamour,” he said.

“And I love black and white, thecombination is so timeless.

“I also have a penchant for arm-chairs. I just think they add so muchto a room.

“They can change a whole space

and so much can be expressedthrough them.”

Mr La Pegna said he wanted to cre-ate a store that was both unique and

overwhelming. And the Nedlandsshowroom is just that.

Hollywood-esque black and whitestriped awnings hover above the

glamorous window displays – a com-bination of strik-ing pieces, both

imported andfrom interstate,

but all as opulentas one another.Having a pres-

ence on StirlingHighway has longbeen a dream of

Mr La Pegna’swho says that

approximately 50per cent of his

clientele arefrom the west-

ern suburbs.“Customers

have been over-whelming with

support; it’s beena long time com-

ing,” he said.With two sis-ters and two

other designerson board, Dlux

Interiors hasgone from

strength tostrength.

What next? The anticipated open-ing of Beluga, a new restaurant in

Claremont Quarter, for which Mr LaPegna styled the interior.

Due to open in February next year,the wait almost seems unbearable for

Dlux enthusiasts. ■
