Thanks for the update Carlo Grasso on Cattai Ridge Road flooding this morning – safe travels today everyone.

For emergency SES help in floods and storms CALL 132 500.

Response times to calls for assistance vary according to the volume of calls received, the number of volunteers available and the length of time requests for assistance ahead of you take to complete. While the NSW SES endeavours to assist community members in the shortest possible time, extended delays in responding may occur. Thank you for your patience.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency call 000 immediately.

Did you know up to a third of storm and heavy rain related requests we receive are preventable? Help reduce unnecessary calls by cleaning gutters and downpipes, securing or putting away loose items from yards and balconies, trimming back overhanging branches and ensuring your roof is in good repair.

Rachael sells Windsor Precinct $48.5 Million

1 April, 2015 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Ed Sheeran...Thinking Out Loud in the Hawkesbury — Ed Sheeran was Thinking Out Loud in the Hawkesbury

Rachael Goldsworthy successfully sold the north end of George Street Commercial Precinct back in 2013.

Some believe Ed Sheeran may have been the purchaser. He recently landed in Australia and he was Thinking Out Loud when spotted near Hawkesbury Hotel talking about the Blues & Roots Festival and potential locations for music artists.

However the real buyer is Frank Lowy, Chairman of Westfields who has now purchased Stage 2 the south end of George Street Commercial Precinct for $45.9 to add to the growing Westfield portfolio.

“We always liked the Rouse Hill development and are looking to complete something similar in Windsor and increase the size of George Street Mall approach as part of the overall project. The benefits for residents of Windsor and surrounding suburbs will be exceptional.” said Frank Lowry via phone this morning.

I’m sure all the locals will be excited by the new project.

Enjoy your first day of April!

Do I need to register my pool or spa?

8 April, 2014 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

With new legislation most people would now be aware that everyone owning a swimming pool or spa needs to register these with their Local Council.

“From the 29 April 2013, all property owners of residential, multi occupancy and tourist and visitor accommodation, on which a swimming pool is located, are required to register their swimming pool on a new online, statewide register. Failure to do so may attract a fine of $220.

The Swimming Pool Register is designed to be a record of pools at an address, whether compliant with the relevant Standard, or not. The Register is not intended to operate as a compliance management system.”

Since that date we have received further correspondence from NSW Government advising there has been an extension on the due date as follows:-

“If you are thinking of selling or leasing your property, an additional twelve months has been provided before you need to have a pool compliance certificate before you can sell or lease your property.

From 29 April 2015, all properties with a backyard swimming pool or spa that are sold or leased will need to have a valid swimming pool compliance certificate. This additional twelve months provides property owners with more time to ensure that their swimming pool is compliant before their property is sold or leased.”

REINSW is urging members to encourage their vendors and landlords to apply for pool certificates where required, as concerns have been raised that there are not enough qualified insporters to meet the expected demand. See full article- REINSW

Episode #22 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Rachael talks about McGraths Hill

3 April, 2014 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Hi. My name’s Rachael Goldsworthy and I’ve just left a listing bright and early on Sunday morning, in at the lovely McGraths Hill. It was a two-story home, which is typically what they have in McGraths Hill. A lot of the homes are two set because of the flood levels. A lot of the homes had to be built that little bit higher for that reason. Typically they’ll put the rumpus room downstairs or teenager’s retreat. It’s a really good utilisation of space rather than having a wasted void there. Sometimes they’ll have the garage downstairs as well, but they’re really nice homes. There’s lots of parks. There’s Colbee Park. They play baseball, soccer, BMX, those sorts of things. There’s also some really good preschools in the area together with good facilities.

There’s the local shops that have lots of different things available to the locals. You’re within walking distance to the train if you wanted to catch the train at Mulgrave, and you’re also within walking distance to transport and those sorts of things. Anyway McGraths Hill’s at the top of my list for one of the best suburbs to buy in the Hawkesbury. If you’ve got any questions in regards to that, don’t hesitate to call me. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.
