SYDNEY, March 3 (Xinhua) -- The Victorian government has announced that the First Home Owner Grant will be doubled for buyers in regional areas.
Under reforms aimed at resolving the state's housing affordability crisis, the grant for first-time buyers in regional Victoria will be doubled to 15,000 U.S. dollars for new homes.
The government said the change would help around 6,000 prospective first home buyers.
Tim Pallas, the treasurer of Victoria, said the reform would increase the appeal of living outside of Melbourne for young families.
"Decentralisation is a vital part of our agenda. You can't decentralise unless you provide people with housing opportunities and you make housing affordable," Pallas told reporters on Friday.
"As a package of initiatives, this is far and away in excess of what any other state has done."
Daniel Andrews, the state's premier, also announced that Victoria would become the first state in Australia to introduce long-term leases up to 10 years.
He said that the government would introduce the laws in 2017 to ensure "greater security" for both tenants and landlords.
Under current laws, leases in Victoria are limited to a maximum of five years, but most leases are for just one year.
The new arrangement, Andrews said, will provide the same protections contained in current standard leases over a longer period.
"The lease can be as long as the tenant and landlord agree to with all the terms and conditions," he said.
The reforms come as house prices and the cost of renting in Victoria hit record highs and the number of vacant properties in the state continues to shrink.
Andrews said families already faced enough stress without having to worry about finding a new rental property.
"This change will give renters the chance to put down roots and landlords a more certain income."
Earlier in the week, Andrews announced that the government would re-zone 100,000 housing blocks in the suburbs of Melbourne to create 17 new suburbs.
The blocks will all be sold before the end of 2018 with communities of up to 40,000 people to be established in the areas within 30 years.
Richard Wynne, Victoria's planning minister, said all of the communities would be fully planned with schools and key infrastructure available.
"I think that's what's so important about a steady land supply going forward, but also quality planned environments for people who are going to live here," Wynne said.
However, experts from the University of Melbourne have warned that a limitless urban sprawl is not sustainable.
Nerida Conisbee, a prominent economist, said, "The solution is to provide the housing that people want while reducing the sprawling nature of our cities."
"That will mean developing regional cities where people can access houses without being isolated from the city center, and encouraging a greater acceptance of apartment dwelling in Melbourne.
"For those wanting to remain close to central Melbourne, people need to get more comfortable with the idea of apartment living."
YANGON Marco Fabian Mexico Jersey , April 2 (Xinhua) -- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has stressed the need for the Myanmar new government to invest more in transportation sector in order to develop the country's economy.
The ADB, in its latest report on Myanmar released in Yangon, said the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country has only risen by just over 1 percent in the last few years and investment should be made within the transportation sector to augment the GDP by 3 or 4 percent.
An ADB resident official said Myanmar needs to invest 60 million U.S. dollars into its transportation sector between now and 2030 in order to follow the standard of transportation system in foreign countries.
The ADB report pointed out that years of weak level of investment into Myanmar's transportation sector has left it unable to easily connect with market and freight service enterprises.
When comparing Myanmar's roads, bridges and transportation routes with neighbors, the country is still lagging behind, the report commented, saying that the country's basic infrastructure needs a lot of work.
Foreign investment within transportation sector is still lagging, thus delaying rural economic development and job opportunities, the report added.
According to official statistics, foreign investment in Myanmar's transport and communication sector amounted to 3.424 billion U.S. dollars as of the end of September 2015 since late 1988, accounting for 5.96 percent of the total.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communication is among one of the 21 ministries set up by the new government which took office days ago.
Ebay can be a great way to earn supplemental income as a stay at home mom. Nowadays, you can do everything from your home; list items, gather postage materials, have packages picked up by the post office. All that remains is acquiring items to sell!
A very common source of eBay items is local garage sales. Often, sellers simply do not know how much their items are worth. Either that, or they do not want to take the time to set up an eBay account and sell themselves.
The opportunities are there for the taking. But there are some methods of shopping garage sales for eBay finds that will make your profits soar.
Don't mention eBay
The cardinal rule in garage sale, yard sale, or estate sale eBay hunting is to never mention the word eBay. If you have small children with you, make sure they understand this as well.
If you go into a garage sale and get chatty with the seller, telling him or her what you intend to do with their items, suddenly the items are more valuable to them. If a seller thinks you are going to resell the stuff to someone else, then they figure they are not charging enough!
