Sold 13 months prior, has now been rezoned. Nothing suss at all

Surely the journalist isn't that stupid

Glen Waverley...check

Only a few million dollars above mean suburb price...check

5 million sell price on par with ~5 million dollar asset portfolio required to purchase permanent residency...check

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the latest buyer's last name was Johnson, and that he/she isn't at all related to or known prior to the people who previously purchased the house a year ago

Here we go

It will usually be possible to obtain permission for the purchase of commercial real estate if the value is over $5,000,000 or if you are intending to rebuild; this includes shops, offices, warehouses and factories. It is usually possible to obtain approval for the purchase of hotels and motels.

What you need to do is to be in charge of zoning. You could make a quick hunnit mil then skip

Yeah, I have no doubt some people received early warning about changes to zoning.

There's that possibility and likelihood I guess, that the original occupant of the house was made an irresistible offer of 2 million for their home by an "astute" buyer who knew the rezoning was going to happen 13 months later...

melbourne needs a monorail.

future brother in law is town planner. rebuilding Christchurch, maybe some money to make over there?

aus post postman didnt attempt to deliver my parcel yesterday, just left notice for collection in the mailbox even though I was home. i was pretty annoyed so made a complaint, and then saw a public place for people to vent about them online. farkin hell. i know a lot of people can get abusive and frustrated, but old people and people who are no longer allowed to beat their kids/husbands/wives and therefore take it out on retail staff feel f**king privileged.

and it’s been 8 business days and she still hasn’t received it. WTF? Not happy and I’ll be giving them an ear full tomorrow!

days and weeks late we pay enough bloody tax to get our mail everyday so sick of this rubbish service we pay a fortune for this government is going down hill more and more by the day

they are assholes who just take your money and do not deliver a service for what you work hard to pay for !!!

I was shocked today to walk into my local post office at Brooklyn to be yelled at and told to get out of the shop because he was busy on the phone. I have never been spoken to so rudely.

^ lol yeah right. told to get out of the shop for being calm and civilised.

it is like living in a ‘3rd world country’ no customer service whatsoever !!! I got more customer service in Egypt and in the middle east, than in my own country!!!! These people here need training, more staff, and less time discussing their weekends, and holding up queue with stupid chatter!!!!

what is wrong with people? if they privatised aus post or even changed the name, these people would still be grabbing their pitchforks calling out for blood.

this is postage we're talking about, not organ transportation or hospital bed waiting lists. most likely the same people who abuse supermarket deli staff for not slicing the pastrami fine enough

(note: most of the people complaining had listed female names)

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
