residency in Australia for overseas
investors.
“Almost half of all investment comes
from institutions, with the remaining
investment comprising high-net-worth
individuals, superannuation funds and
overseas investors, including immigration visa investors.”
Meanwhile, the POST is aware of at
least two Chinese websites selling another Subiaco redevelopment.
Finbar is building 245 apartments and
19 shops in two seven-storey blocks in
Roydhouse and Hood streets, in Subi
Centro.
Finbar bought the 7882sq.m block of
land two years ago for $17million and
expects the apartment blocks to fetch
$174.1 million.
The builders claim to have sold 75%
of these units, with the first ones due to
be occupied mid-next year.
One Chinese site [ausproperty.cn] has
a two-bed, one-bathroom flat listed for
$595,000, while the other site (world.
fang.com) says buyers can buy with a
$10,000 deposit, with nothing to pay
until completion.
The second site lists some of the features as a 20m solar-heated lap pool
and lounge, bar and barbecue area,
private executive dining room, games
room, gym and sauna.
It also claims to be a 100m stroll from
the Subiaco markets – which will close
for good next month.

Oriental interest … New apartments at China Green and Hood
Street in Subiaco are marketed
to Chinese buyers in these two
overseas property websites.
Neighbours ‘swear like FIFO workers’
• From page 9
“The property could be let without any reference to the council
for two years to the neighbours
from hell.
“Or they could let each bedroom to university students,” Mr
Hassell said.
Councillor Leo McManus asked
who would monitor activity at the
house.
“We cannot monitor parking at
Mt Claremont markets,” he said.
Councillor Gordon Hay, who
lives in a rented house two doors
away, said controlling short-stay
accommodation was a problem
facing planning authorities around
the world.
“When it becomes a business
every day of the year it is a different proposition,” he said.
Mr Hay said visitors did not
become part of the community or
get to know the neighbours.
Time of the signs in the suburbs

“They are illegible, out-of-date
and no longer functional.
“Many have symbols or text
that is partially or completely
faded.”
The survey included Mosman Park,
Subiaco, Nedlands,
Claremont, Peppermint
Grove, Cottesloe and
Cambridge.
Mr Duncanson said
signage was a “major
but poorly maintained
asset of councils”.

Council mergers will mean
tens of thousands of councilbranded signs will get a much
needed upgrade, according to
a strategic signage planning
consultancy.
Wayfound – who
conduct council signage audits – say
existing councils will
need to allocate funds
for signage changes in
their 2014-15 budgets
if councils merge.
Wayfound signage
consultant David
Duncanson said many

council signs were in
poor condition and
needed replacing or
modification.
Mr Duncanson said a survey
conducted by Wayfound showed
western suburbs street names,
parking, bus shelters and sporting
centres signs were among those
that needed replacing.
“Our survey also reveals that

He said local governments
would have to address the issue
quickly.
“If you live in the Town of
Cambridge but you pay rates to
the City of Subiaco then the signage has got to keep up with the
change,” he said.
John’s on track
• From page 136
John said he had been inside
almost every house in Dalkeith
and Nedlands south of Stirling
Highway since starting his real
estate career in 1969.
He has sold hundreds of
millions of dollars’ worth of
property, sometimes selling the
same house three times over
the decades.
He said Acton in Dalkeith had
started at the perfect time, when
most real estate was sold via
the St George’s Terrace-based
agencies.
“They were run by ex-servicemen who were coming to
the end of their working lives,”
he said.
“We worked hard, in the office
every day by 7am and building
the business rapidly.
“It now has 300 employees.”
But it was racing and Stirling
Moss that trumped it all.
“I lived my childhood dream,”
he said.
“It was what I wanted all my
life.”
Hit and miss for
Subi shooters

longest serving mayor from 1950
to 1974] was our first patron,
Tony Costa was the second
last one and the current mayor
Heather Henderson is our patron now.”
The club still uses the council’s old coat of arms.
Swanbourne was established
in 1913 as a rifle range and the
Subiaco club was formed in 1919.
Like other clubs, Subiaco has a
club house on the range which
is a place to show off trophies
and plaques and for members to
hang out, catch up and share a
cuppa. Back in the day it was a
bit of a party house as well.
The club will leave the
Swanbourne site – beside the SAS
barracks at Campbell Barracks
– just before Christmas.
They are about to build a new
club and state-of-the-art facilities at Pinjar but this may not
be ready until the end of next
year at the earliest.
In the meantime they have
arrangements in place with
Bindoon, Yarloop, Chidlow and
Pickering Brook rifle clubs to
shoot there as visitors.
“I’ve been shooting for 56 years
and I’ve been at Swanbourne all
that time,” Merve said.
“Betty, my wife, started shooting after I started and she was
the first lady captain of the club.
She’s been here for 40 years.
“We’ve been married for 58
years and we’ll miss the place
when it's gone.”

Cops raid UWA crime lab
• From page 1
university terminating the firm’s
link to the centre in October last
year.
UWA sources said Professor
O’Donnell told the firm to go.
They said the suspended professors had been the subject of
a UWA investigation.
The Firearms Act has penalties
of $2000 (for a first offence) or 12
months’ jail and/or a $4000 fine
for not storing bullets safely.
UWA sources said the bullets
and gunpowder could only be
accessed with a swipe card and
a key.
Centre staff have links with the
FBI, federal police and other
universities.
It helps with cold case reviews,
forensic testing, forensic advice
about legal matters and disaster
victim identification.
The centre offers graduate diplomas, masters and combined
masters/PhD programs in 22
disciplines.
It has four academic staff, eight
research staff and 23 adjunct
positions.
Thirty-eight police officers
are members of the centre’s
100-strong student body.
In August the POST reported
on a PhD student’s work aimed
at identifying the “fingerprints”
of bullet and shotgun pellet fragments left at crime scenes.
UWA hopes her work will
change the way police the world
over gather forensic evidence
(“Anna’s science is No.1 with a
bullet”, POST, August 9).
Oasis blooming with paid parking
• From page 9
Three weeks ago the cost of
all-day parking in the Wilson-run
carpark underneath Woolworths
doubled to $30.
“The problem is that you had
people working in the city, or
tradies, for who a $15-all day
parking charge was still more
attractive than what they’d pay
elsewhere,” Dean said.
“They would take up most of
the car bays, making it difficult
and frustrating for our customers
to get a park.
“People would not come here
to shop and it was hurting our
businesses.
“Customers can still get 90
minutes' free parking, and pay a
little bit more if they need to stay
longer, but the new charge has
stopped the problem and in the
last few weeks there are always
car bays free.”
