The sought-after Latent Defects Insurance policy, offering off the plan apartment buyers peace of mind for 10 years post-completion, has made its way to Sydney’s harbourside. Boutique developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/toohey-miller">Toohey Miller</a> has secured this insurance for its newly launched Elizabeth Bay development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/barncleuth-square-elizabeth-bay-4-4a-barncleuth-square-elizabeth-bay-nsw-2011">Barncleuth</a>. This marks the developer’s second project in the area, following the success of No. 1 Onslow Place.

Latent Defects Insurance, offered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">Resilience Insurance</a>, provides cover for structural or waterproofing defects in new apartment buildings. It is a policy that only the developer or builder can take out, not the apartment purchaser.

Located just&nbsp;off Macleay Street, one of Sydney’s most desirable high streets, Barncleuth offers a rare collection of only 10 residences. With just two per floor, each oversized floorplan has been designed by SJB specifically for the owner-occupier.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356342]

The five-storey building captures views over Rushcutters Bay and Paddington, blending contemporary brickwork with the expressive silhouettes of its Art Deco neighbours.

Inside, the residences, designed by David Hicks, prioritise generous scale and enduring quality, with a mix of two- and three-bedroom layouts. Expansive terraces and cross-ventilated interiors maximise light and airflow, while sustainable features such as a green roof and locally sourced materials reflect SJB’s commitment to long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356341]

Developer Toohey Miller, led by Nick Couloumbis, says the design aims to bring lasting quality to an area long celebrated for its apartment heritage.

"It's a stone's throw from the best restaurants in Sydney. Some people call it the Soho of Sydney," Couloumbis told Apartments.com.au when the project was approved.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356337]

By securing <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">Resilience Latent Defects Insurance</a>, Barncleuth joins a growing group of premium Sydney projects adopting the gold standard in building protection.&nbsp;

The cover, provided before construction begins, ensures any hidden structural or waterproofing defects are repaired immediately, without lengthy litigation or fault disputes.

Resilience Insurance CEO Corey Nugent said the product has been a catalyst for renewed confidence in the off the plan market.&nbsp;

“Ultimately what we’re trying to do is build better buildings consumers can trust. When buyers take possession, they have full insurance protection from day one, for 10 years,” Nugent explained.

Unlike traditional policies such as strata or construction insurance, Resilience LDI is a first-resort, strict liability policy, meaning repairs are covered immediately without needing to prove negligence. Coverage extends to foundations, load-bearing walls, and waterproofing, the elements most critical to long-term structural integrity.

Regarded construction firm Jasara has been appointed to deliver Barncleuth. They are forecasting an early 2027 completion.

Toohey Miller brings 10-year Latent Defects Insurance to Elizabeth Bay as Barncleuth apartments launch

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/golden-sedayu">Golden Sedayu</a> has unveiled plans for the next phase of its landmark $4 billion <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/burswood-point-saintly-entrance-burswood-wa-6100">Burswood Point</a> project, just 3.5km from the Perth CBD at the Belmont Racecourse site.

The Local Development Plan Application has been lodged for a world-class mixed-use hub (Precinct B) on the previously untouched 2.5km stretch of Swan River foreshore.

Designed by Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill (SOM), recognised for their work on the world’s tallest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the One World Trade Centre in New York, Precinct B will feature 15 buildings, offering a mix of residential and commercial spaces including a shopping centre up to 30,000 sqm in size.

Complementing this, an internationally acclaimed five-star hotel, and a high-end pedestrian-friendly retail boulevard with vibrant day-and-night retail, dining, and entertainment venues, will provide exciting new ways for Perth residents to connect with the riverfront.

This latest milestone signals continued construction and expansion momentum across Perth’s premier riverfront community, which is set to attract local, national and international visitors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263304]

The masterplan features 110,000 sqm of public open space, which is comparable to other Perth landmarks including inner-city Langley Park and South Perth foreshore. The riverside precinct will be brought to life through a visionary landscape concept by globally renowned architectural practice Grant Associates.

With an impressive international portfolio, including Gardens by the Bay and Funan Mall in Singapore and Barangaroo South in Sydney, the firm brings expertise in creating environments that harmonise with surrounding amenity.

At 38 hectares, Burswood Point is one of the largest urban development projects ever undertaken in Australia, and one of Perth’s most transformative mixed-use developments.

Golden Sedayu Managing Director Andrew Sugiaputra said the company was working closely with SOM, Grant Associates and the Government of Western Australia to ensure Burswood Point’s design responds sensitively to its surroundings, reflecting and enhancing the character, history, and natural features of the local environment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=1817]

“West Australians enjoy a privileged outdoor lifestyle and the Swan River is central to their enjoyment,"&nbsp;Sugiaputra said.

"We’re proud to be creating something truly spectacular and unique for the city, a place that feels alive from sunrise to sunset, a place where people can stay, shop, dine, and celebrate life on the river."

Precinct B builds on the outstanding success of Burswood Point’s first residential stage, which has been met with exceptional market demand. Somerset Residences, a two- tower luxury apartment development, and the exclusive riverfront homes collection are under construction and selling fast. As the number of Perth houses listed for sale remain at or near record lows, Burswood Point will deliver 4,500 new homes over the next 10 years.

“Golden Sedayu is dedicated to delivering on our promises,"&nbsp;Sugiaputra added.

"Our clients can buy with confidence, knowing that the price is fixed throughout construction. In an industry that has faced challenging market conditions, we’re proud to provide our clients complete peace of mind and confidence in the value of their investment."

Rising at the base of The Remarkables,&nbsp;diversified New Zealand developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/safari-group">Safari Group</a>'s Mountain Oak Apartments presents a foothold in Frankton, one of Queenstown’s most dynamic and fast-growing locales.&nbsp;

Surrounded by soaring alpine scenery and year-round tourism drawcards, Mountain Oak Apartments is a masterplanned precinct that perfectly balances accessibility with lifestyle amenity.

<img alt="Safari Group offers low-touch investment proposition in Queenstown’s popular ski fields district" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Ext_Cam15_Sunny.jpg?VersionId=SJAROUM_1s.Tr5ciMk4EEj5oAt_Vewmv" />

Frankton has emerged as a strategic growth zone just seven kilometres from Queenstown’s CBD, popular among both residents and investors for its proximity to the airport, the region’s two premier ski fields, Coronet Peak and Cardrona Alpine Resort, and an expanding network of shops, services, and recreation options. The apartments enjoy immediate access to the popular Market Street dining hub, as well as Five Mile Shopping Centre and the seasonal Remarkables Market, where locals gather for fresh produce and artisan goods.

The location also places residents near the gateway to South Island adventures. Scenic trails, golf courses, and Lake Wakatipu’s edge are within easy reach, while the historic village of Arrowtown, renowned for its preserved gold rush-era charm and walking routes, is a short drive away. Local transport connectivity is supported by the nearby airport and arterial roads, ideal for frequent travellers and short-term guests alike.

<img alt="Safari Group’s Mountain Oak Apartments brings new investment potential to Queenstown" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/313_Living_WEB.jpg?VersionId=3LglY20Jp_MAzQYdvwODRWvtjL.cZcqI" />

Tourism-driven demand underpins strong investment fundamentals in Queenstown, with a noted shortage of short- and long-term accommodation stock. Mountain Oak’s 365-day visitor accommodation consent directly addresses this need, offering a rare opportunity to serve Queenstown’s dual population of holidaymakers and hospitality workers.

Construction of the 141 residences began in June 2025, with completion anticipated by mid-2027. Apartments range from one-bedroom to penthouses, with pricing from NZ$639,000. Dual-key options and low-maintenance finishes support a flexible rental model with strong gross return potential.

From slopes to markets: Mountain Oak connects residents to the best of Queenstown

Deicorp is doubling down in the Hills Showground Station Precinct, the rapidly growing area surrounding the Castle Hill Metro and one of the state’s largest transit-oriented urban renewal sites.

Having launched Hills Showground Village several years ago, and now about 70 per cent through its build, Deicorp has brought another mini-masterplan to market just a few streets away.

The developer has now released the first of 873 residences in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/showground-pavilions-castle-hill-3-andalusian-way-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Showground Pavilions</a>, five new buildings located just 500 metres from the Metro, which connects Castle Hill residents to Martin Place in around 37 minutes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150067 project_image_fid=351416]

The mix includes one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a limited release of garden terrace homes with studies.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">Turner Studio</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/group-gsa">GroupGSA</a>, the residences are configured around a network of landscaped courtyards and podium-level gardens, with additional rooftop terraces offering views across the district.&nbsp;Communal amenities include a 3,500 sqm public park, playgrounds, shaded seating areas and walking and cycling paths.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150067 project_image_fid=351416]

Interiors feature flexible layouts with oversized living areas, deep balconies, SMEG kitchen appliances and floor-to-ceiling glass to maximise light and airflow.&nbsp;

Many apartments include a study space, while select residences offer private outdoor areas. A total of 44 apartments have been designated as affordable housing for key workers, such as nurses, teachers and police officers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150067 project_image_fid=351413]

On top of its strong connectivity to the city, Deicorp has delivered significant new amenity to the area. The developer recently opened the 9,500sqm, four-level retail precinct at Hills Showground Village, which includes 26 specialty retailers and a 1,400sqm public plaza, creating a new community hub for shopping, dining, fitness, and everyday convenience. Castle Towers, one of Australia’s largest shopping centres, is also just one Metro stop away.

Between Hills Showground Village and Showground Pavilions, Deicorp is delivering more than 1,300 new homes to the rapidly growing Castle Hill precinct, representing a $2 billion investment in the suburb.

Showground Pavilions is one of several Metro-linked projects in Deicorp’s pipeline, joining developments at Tallawong Village, Zetland, Five Dock, Macquarie Park and Crows Nest.

The completion of Melrose Park Village marks a significant achievement in the evolution of one of Sydney’s largest urban renewal projects, developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a>.&nbsp;

Located in the city’s north-west, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/melrose-park-village-2a-2f-appleroth-street-nsw-2114">Melrose Park Village</a> represents the fourth completed stage in the broader $5 billion Melrose Park masterplan, which will ultimately bring over 6,000 new homes, a town centre, new schools and 52,000 sqm of green open space.

The completion of Melrose Park Village delivers 421 apartments across six buildings ranging from six to thirteen storeys, all centred around a 4,000 sqm landscaped courtyard designed as a communal “urban backyard” for residents.&nbsp;

The project is now 96 per cent sold, with 14 premium three-bedroom apartments remaining in the final building. Each offers two car spaces with prices starting from $1.259 million.

Alex Grujovski, Project Director, Apartment &amp; Mixed-Use Developments, said “Sekisui House Australia is proud to celebrate the completion of Melrose Park Village, which stands as a sustainable and connected community in the heart of Sydney’s north-west.&nbsp;

“This project represents a pivotal step in our long-term vision for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/melrose-park-nsw-2114">Melrose Park</a>, reflecting our commitment to creating communities that blend nature, technology and human connection. Since 2020, we have delivered over 1,075 apartments across four stages, each designed to enhance wellbeing, connectivity and convenience through exceptional architecture and resident-focused amenities.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150065 project_image_fid=356089]

Residents benefit from an array of lifestyle facilities including a 4,000 sqm internal park, rooftop gardens and BBQ areas, wellness amenities such as an infrared sauna, yoga studio and gymnasium, plus co-working spaces, pet wash facilities, EV charging stations and a resident shuttle bus.&nbsp;

Sustainability remains at the core of the precinct with rooftop solar, smart energy meters, air and water filtration systems and groundwater reuse technology supporting efficient resource use.

Melrose Park Village was designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ajc-architects">AJC Architects</a>, who have led the design of the broader Melrose Park masterplan since inception, developing architectural principles that continue to guide the precinct’s evolution.

Michael Heenan, Design Lead at AJC Architects said the design is completely generated by AJC’s Urban Backyard concept.

"At the heart of Melrose Park Village is a generous green courtyard, a shared backyard for all residents. We designed it at the scale of a local park, a place for families to live, play and grow, capturing the spirit of the Australian backyard.”

The courtyard features nature play areas, a climbing wall and open lawns for social and recreational use. Heenan added that the team’s approach to smart city design, carbon capture and sustainability guided every aspect of the project.&nbsp;

“Stage 4 reflects our belief that density can improve liveability. By integrating architecture, landscape and open space, we have created a model for sustainable urban living that feels contemporary and distinctly Australian.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150065 project_image_fid=356088]

&nbsp;

Melrose Park Village was delivered in partnership with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/parkview">Parkview Constructions</a>, a trusted builder with whom Sekisui House Australia has delivered thousands of apartments across Sydney over the past 15 years.&nbsp;

Upon completion, Melrose Park will deliver more than 6,000 dwellings, 52,000 sqm of open green space featuring over 1,400 mature trees, new transport connections, a town centre set to open in 2026 and Melrose Park High School which is currently under construction and due to open in Term 1 2027.&nbsp;

This milestone marks another major step towards realising Sekisui House Australia’s vision to transform a former industrial site into a future-ready neighbourhood for over 12,000 residents.

Completion of Melrose Park Village marks a major step forward in $5 billion masterplan

The Precinct, a new project delivered by Norup+Wilson, offers a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments in a great family suburb.

Mount Pleasant is a southern suburb of Perth, delivering river views and close to many attractions and neighbourhood amenities.

Forming part of the $235 million Canning Bridge redevelopment project, the Precinct is the catalyst for a vibrant new riverside lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183647]

Each resident will enjoy spectacular, ever-changing panoramic vistas of the Swan and Canning Rivers or the surrounding leafy suburbs, regardless of which floor their apartment sits.

The 22-storey apartment has been designed by acclaimed architectural firm Woods Bagot, featuring design innovations, indulgent luxuries and unmatched living spaces.

Residents are also offered the opportunity to customise their apartment, with the choice to add vanities, make personalised touches and even redesign layouts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183652]

The building incorporates an elegant design and high-quality features, including premium appliances, artisan finishes and large floorplans.

High-tech features are complemented by advanced security options for all residents, including secured access points, a remote video intercom, an internal mailroom with courier lockers, and CCTV cameras throughout.

Inspired by the finest international hotel suites, residents can pamper themselves in chic and spacious bathrooms, with some residences featuring bathtubs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183666]

Sky Home living is not the expansive 360-degree views or the exclusive facilities or unmatched security. It’s the extraordinary peace and quiet which comes from being so far above the rest of the world, enjoying the kind of safe, isolation that The Precinct offers.

Floors 17 through to 20 are dedicated to the ultra-premium Sky Homes, with the top floor hosting the extravagant Sky Lounge for the exclusive use of the four floors of Sky Home residents.

“Here they can access any of the wines they have stored in the temperature and humidity-controlled wine cellar or entertain their guests in the impressive private dining room and adjoining lounge”, the project marketing reads.

Other amenities integrated into the development’s design include indoor and outdoor gym, running track, Teppanyaki barbeques, swimming pool, residents’ lounge and library.

Design details: The interior design features by Woods Bagot at The Precinct, Mount Pleasant apartments

The Precinct is the newest residential offering in Perth&rsquo;s riverside southern suburb of Mount Pleasant, boasting a collection of 192 residences.

Developed by Norup+Wilson, the one, two and three-bedroom apartments lie within a 22-storey community on the high point of the prestigious Canning Bridge redevelopment project.

Forming part of the $235 million redevelopment, The Precinct is the catalyst for a vibrant new riverside lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183648]

Designed by Woods Bagot, the development features a destination entertainment hub, residences and ultra-premium Sky Homes.

Location is everything at the Precinct, which stands as the most prominent landmark in the Canning Bridge Precinct, according to the project marketing.

&ldquo;It commands views of every facet of the city from Kings Park and the CBD, to the converging Swan and Canning Rivers and the distant escarpment to the east&rdquo;, the developer said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183667]

The proximity to the CBD and the river, and the easy access to roads and public transport links, make Mount Pleasant a location of choice for professionals and families.

While the high-owner occupier ratio within the development has been shown to preserve capital values and generate higher rental income for investors.

Set to become one of the first five-star Green Star residential buildings delivered within Western Australia, the project incorporates sustainable features and environmentally friendly materials.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183649]

Some of the Green Star features include solar cells on the rooftop, sensor lights, WELS-approved rating on all taps and showers, energy-efficient appliances and rain sensors for reticulation system.

Thanks to these technologies and the overall quality of the development, the Precinct delivers low strata fees to residents.

As a multi-level community, the Precinct features a range of first-class amenities, including an indoor and outdoor gym, running track, cabana, day beds, thatched gazebo, Teppanyaki barbeques and swimming pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=183655]

A choice of multiple different restaurants is at your doorstep with an assortment of dining experiences found at the unique ground-floor entry.

Among its other features include a residents&rsquo; lounge, residents&rsquo; library, children&rsquo;s playroom and the luxurious Sky Lounge on the top floor.

The development reached completion in 2020.

River views and investor-ready apartments: Introducing the new Mount Pleasant apartments at The Precinct

<html><body>
GUEST OBSERVER
After you separate from your spouse, you will likely need to make arrangements to divide your property and separate your finances.
You can begin working out a property settlement any time after you separate from your spouse. You do not need to wait until your divorce comes through.
Even if all the property is in the other person’s name, or you did not make direct financial contributions to property (such as paying the mortgage), you will usually still be entitled to a property settlement according to the four-step process used by the Family Court. 
How do we go about dividing property?
You should first try to reach an agreement with your former partner about financial issues. You could attempt property settlement through Family dispute resolution or other non-court based dispute resolution methods. Often this will resolve the matter without the need to go to court. For more information, see Other ways to resolve a family law dispute. Sometimes it will not be safe for you to negotiate directly with the other person (for example, where there has been family violence). For more information, see Family violence and family law.
If you are unable to come to an agreement with your former partner, you may need to ask the Family Court to make a decision for you. There are certain steps you must take before you commence proceedings for property settlement in the Family Court.
How do we know what our property is worth?
If you want to find out about how much your property is worth, you can try the following:
<ul>
<li>For houses – ask three or more real estate agents to give you a valuation of your house. They will provide these free of charge. Ask that they put down what they think the house would actually sell for, as some agents will give the best possible price rather than the more likely price to try to secure your business. You can then take an average of the estimates to use in working out your property settlement. If this method does not produce a result you can agree on, you can consider having a certified valuer visit the property. They will give a sworn valuation of your house for a fee. You can find the name of a certified valuer by asking a real estate agent or looking in the Yellow Pages.</li>
<li>For cars/boats/bikes you can use a website such as RedBook as a starting point and look at local advertisements for similar items (as RedBook is based in Victoria values may differ slightly in Western Australia). If these values cannot be agreed, you can obtain a sworn valuation from an expert.</li>
<li>Get printouts from your bank and superannuation fund of your current balances.</li>
<li>For other items such as tools, trailers and so on you can try looking at local advertisements for similar items, and if the values cannot be agreed you can seek a sworn valuation from an expert with the knowledge, skills and experience to value the particular item.</li>
<li>If there is a business involved, you may know and be able to agree upon its value. If not, you can seek a sworn valuation from an expert licensed to value businesses. </li>
</ul>
Expert valuers for different types of property can be found in the Yellow Pages.
There are no set rules about how things must be valued. When working out a property settlement with your former partner you can agree to value property as you both see fit. For example, while your household contents may only be “worth” a certain amount if you were to sell it, you might choose to think of its value as the cost it would take one person to set up a new residence with furniture and whitegoods. 
You may decide not to have your property valued at all during the process and choose to take a more practical approach. For example, you may decide that regardless of the exact value of your home, you would prefer your children be able to stay in the family home and that it not have to be sold to give you what you think you might be entitled to in a property settlement. Another example might be if you purchased most of your furniture together, you might each take turns picking an item of furniture to keep – that way you can take into account sentimental value as well as monetary value.
How can we formalise an agreement about property?
Consent orders
While it is not compulsory to formalise your agreement about property, it is recommended that you formalise your agreement about property by obtaining consent orders from the Family Court. Having court orders can assist you in dealing with organisations such as banks and can help prevent the people involved from making claims against each other’s property in the future. For more information on consent orders and how to obtain consent orders through the Family Court, see the Family Court of WA Consent Orders Kit, available from the Family Court of WA website or by calling the court registry on (08) 9224 8222 or 1800 199 228 (country areas free call) and requesting that a copy of the Kit be sent to you.
You should get legal advice about your particular circumstances prior to signing any final agreement. 
Binding financial agreements
A binding financial agreement is like a contract between the parties that can deal with how property will be divided if a relationship breaks down. Binding financial agreements may also allow for spousal maintenance to be paid if a relationship ends. The agreement can be made before, during or after a marriage or de facto relationship. Binding financial agreements can only be set aside in very limited circumstances. If you are thinking about making a binding financial agreement you should get legal advice.
How does the Family Court decide who should get what?
For information about how the Family Court decides, see How does the Family Court deal with a property case. You do not necessarily need to follow the approach taken by the Family Court to determine your own private property settlement, but as the process was designed to try to come up with a fair outcome, you may wish to use it as a guide.
Are there any time limits?
Yes. If you were married you have 12 months from the date your divorce becomes final to commence property settlement proceedings in the Family Court. You can get a property settlement before you are divorced.
Although you can work out a property settlement almost any time after separation (as the time limitation period does not start until your divorce is finalised), it is recommended to sort out arrangements as soon as possible. This is because asset values can change over time and valuations are best done close to when the parties separate.
Is superannuation included in property?
Superannuation may be included in a property settlement for people who were married. It is possible for superannuation to be:
<ul>
<li>split and transferred from one person to the other (called a "splitting order") </li>
<li>given to the one person when the other person retires and receives their superannuation payment (called a "flagging order") </li>
<li>used as an "offset" meaning if one person keeps their superannuation the other person will receive more out of the other available property </li>
<li>included in a financial agreement </li>
<li>valued as property</li>
</ul>
I am worried my former partner will get rid of assets, what can I do?
If you are worried your former partner may get rid of assets before you can finalise a property settlement you can ask the court for an injunction to stop the other person from selling or dealing with the property.
An injunction is an order from the court preventing anyone from selling or transferring assets that may be property of a marriage. 
Seek legal advice if you have concerns about the other person disposing of property. 
Can I get spousal maintenance?
Spousal maintenance is only given if one person can financially maintain the other person and the other person cannot maintain themselves because of age, mental or physical incapacity, because they have a child under 18 in their care or any other adequate reason. The court will consider a range of things when deciding on whether to grant spousal maintenance. You should get legal advice if you want to apply for spousal maintenance.

Property 101: WA's property dividing laws for married couples

<html><body>
Kmart Australia has agreed terms on the single biggest industrial pre-lease in the Western Australian industrial market in nearly a decade. 
It has committed to a 41,700 square metre, circa $35 million, office and warehouse complex within the Jandakot City precinct at Jandakot Airport which will serve as the retailer’s major distribution centre for WA.
Kmart had taken a long term lease over the facility which includes one hectare of containerised hardstand, with a specially designed wind safety barrier, on the ten hectare site. 
The rental was not disclosed for the facility which will be developed by Jandakot City Holdings.
Construction has an expected completion date of mid next year.
The Kmart deal is the second major pre-lease deal at Jandakot City in recent times following Reece Plumbing’s 15 year pre-commitment to a 25,000 square metre office and warehouse complex in December. 
The Kmart and Reece deals, the largest in WA’s industrial property market in nearly ten years, reflected a welcome declaration of confidence in the WA economy, Savills Australia divisional directors, James Condon and Darren Curry said.
Kmart will relocate from its current facility at Canning Vale. 
The new facility further marks Kmart’s significant growth as it is now one of the most profitable retailers in Australia. 
Since engaging Savills in 2009, it has opened a 76,000 square metre distribution centre at Truganina in Melbourne, a 50,000 square metre facility at Eastern Creek in Sydney, and a 51,000 square metre facility in Brisbane.
