A duplex would allow two titles on the land? I’m in WA and have a large block but it is zoned R20 (single title only) and just falls short of what is required for a subdivision.

The thing to remember is that savings accounts have variable rates so they are subject to change. So although Arab Bank is currently offering around 7% and you open an account and transfer money into it, they can reduce the rate at any time thus…[Read more]

Whatever you earn in interest is calculated as part of your taxable income. And if that interest pushes you over into a higher tax bracket then you end up paying even more so we do need tax concessions on savings accounts.

As far as our economy is concerned it is now mostly based on consumer…[Read more]

It’s in the Perth suburb of Dianella. It’s not near the train service but it does have bus services and is close to schools and has three shoppings centres close by – Dianella, Mirrabooka and the Galleria (Morley).

The area around the Mirrabooka shopping centre is going to be revitalised.
