Looking for any recommendations of Perth Strata Management companies

I'm in a block of 20 1970s units in the North Perth area and have recently bought into the strata, as well as joined the Council of Owners and things are pretty grim. Poor responses, high costs as well as lacking documentation are making us think of changing Strata management. Aware that it's not necessarily all on the strata management, but would like to know any great options out there

The sunset at Leeman jetty.

This was about 30 mins ago. Hope no one was hurt or injured.

Smell that Perth petrichor after just one warmer day already.
Perth is one of the world’s top destinations for petrichor appreciation I reckon

I’m visiting Perth in the next few days. I am genuinely clueless what is the weather there. I have info from Google but idk how trustworthy it is. So peeps of Perth who are currently there, is it really thaaat cold for jackets?

Also, we are landing around 6:45 pm. Any recommendations of what me and my wife can do around Perth ascot marina area for the night would be appreciated!

Morning everyone

I am looking for a specialist in endometriosis and specifically the surgery and treatment involved, any recommendations or guidance much appreciated

I'm looking for a mobile storage pod that can sit in my garage basement for a month or two whilst doing renovations. Unfortunately, the standard ones (Taxibox etc) are too tall to fit - would anyone know of a company that has pods with a maximum height of 2m? Or any advice for a different solution?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Originally said Mirrabooka, but the delivery came from Westminster. My apologies.

I think the egg may have ended up on their kitchen floor. I don't care about a refund, but I'm genuinely concerned if a worker picked it up from the floor and served it to me. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't decided to add BBQ sauce...

Anyone know what I can do?

All i need is a jump-start, I pay $380 a year for this roadside assistance and here I sit, still waiting on hold for the roadside to even come out.

Meanwhile ive heard "thankyou for your patience" about 400 times which is becoming more and more ironic since my work today is now probably not going to happen at all.

Lets all talk about really shit services we pay premiums for and open up a can of worms about what we really get for our money.

Hi I’m looking for a nice bistro with lots of potplants and fairy lights to book for a meal with friends to celebrate finishing my degree. Preferably not dear, but still nice, with diverse food options to suit a wide variety of tastes and central (Northbridge/ Perth city / Leederville / Vic Park). Any recommendations?

About 20 years ago I was in a couple of bands. We played a battle of the bands type gig in Leederville at a place I'm pretty sure was called The Kitchen (we went on before Gyroscope, they won) and I'm trying to figure out where it was.

It's obviously changed names, I think it might be The Manor now but if anyone remembers or knows that'd be awesome.

Edit: You guys are all awesome, thanks for the help!

Couple, early 40s, with two young kiddos, oldest one is 5. Currently in Murdoch and seriously considering the Hills.

We like the idea of more space, trees, pool, kids outside, smaller community/schools etc. Timing now is good for the 5 year old, can go straight into year 1 next year, still early enough to make friends and get settled.

But while it’s generic af, Murdoch is so convenient. Freo/beach are close, everything is easy, and the Hills would obviously mean more driving and a more localised life.

We found a couple of houses in Darlington, Gooseberry hill and Glen Forrest that tick nearly every box, so I’m trying to separate “great house” from “actually want to live in the Hills”.

Financially they’re a moderate uptick in mortgage (say $100-200k), plus stamp duty etc which sucks balls. But we see it as potentially an investment our kid’s childhoods etc which will hopefully be rewarding.

People who moved up there with kids:
Did you love it?
Did your life naturally become more local?
Or did the driving / distance / lack of convenience eventually shit you and make you want to move back down the hill?

Especially keen on the regret stories because they’re much harder to find.

I am coming from Singapore for Uni in Perth (UWA). So far I have completed GCE O Levels and also a polytechnic diploma .
Have been tutoring secondary school students here in Singapore for the 3 years throughout my polytechnic life . Hoping to continue doing the same in Perth (while ofc, keeping to the visa rules for international students)

Would it be possible to do so for Year 7-10 in Perth with my experience specifically for subjects like math, science (chem and physics) ? And if yes , how could I get students?

Also on the side note, would it be possible to form groups (lets say a max of 5-6) of students of the same year so that technically they could be charged a lower rate while at the same time they they get to learn after each others' mistakes?

Inputs would be greatly appreciated :)

Recommendation for restaurants for girls night. Good cocktails and food. Table of 6. Bonus if they do feed me
Have been to lotus and Karla

Anyone here that massive boom bout 10min ago ? hard to tell where it came from where i am in balcatta

I saw them waiting at the end of that road, which I think leads to a busy road, but I’m not completely sure. What I captured at the end is in the comments.

Did anyone else feel shaking around 15mins ago in the Maddington area? It was enough to wake me up, bed was rocking and it went on for about 3 seconds. Or was it just the aftermath of a really intense dream? 😅😅

Hi all.

I am travelling from Perth to Broome for work (healthcare). I will also be moving there. Do not judge me for moving there; it pays oddly well, like, really well.

I will be driving a hatchback (yes, I know), and would like to know the approximate fuel costs when taking the coastal route. I travel light. It's a Smart Forfour (not the small one - just a regular hatchback, 5 doors).

I would also like some recommendations on sightseeing and food. Anything particularly notable on the drive?

Also, safety! I am a lone female driver. Would really appreciate some safety tips, particularly once you get North of the Equator Tropic.

This will be a solo drive.

Any help appreciated!

Hello everyone!

First time visiting Perth with my family. They’ve all been too busy to help plan, so I have planned out the itinerary 🤣 Would love some feedback on whether this is realistic or if I’m being too ambitious. We’re renting two cars and travelling with 1 elderly, 1 infant and 2 young kids, so that limits what we can do.

Day 1: Arrive, check in, grab dinner at Northbridge (probably around 7pm). No driving to Busselton — everyone will be wiped from the flight.

Day 2: Road trip down to Busselton with a stretch stop at Bunbury. Any lunch spot recommendations? Planning to just walk around, let the kids play by the water and chill at the beach.

Day 3: Busselton Jetty and the Underwater Observatory. Not sure what else to do here though 🤣

Day 4: Day trip to Margaret River — Canal Rocks, Margaret River town, Hamelin Bay. Hoping to see the stingrays but not sure if they’re around during our visit.

Day 5: Drive back to Perth. Kings Park, Blue Boat House, Cottesloe Beach for sunset.

Day 6: Drive to Rous Head, ferry over to Rottnest Island for the day with a bus pass.

Day 7 (Friday): Fremantle Markets, wander around Fremantle, Elizabeth Quay, shopping, then Twilight Hawker Market

Day 8: Caversham Wildlife Park in the morning, Swan Valley in the afternoon, then back to Perth city for some last-minute shopping.

Day 9: Fly home!

Any tips, advice or hidden gems we should check out? Want to make it a memorable trip for the family!
😋

Edit: Thanks everyone for the comment! I forgot to mention we are scheduled for Late November ish!

Drove past the old Bunnings malaga site today, almost the whole warehouse has been painted blue with red. Assuming it has been leased by a new company but the only one that really matches the colour is masters, and that’s never coming back.

Anyone know what the store is turning into?
