Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.
- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

The cycle path, close to three metres wide, along Eltham Rd has come at the expense of many car parks, and residents say getting in and out of their driveways just got a lot trickier.
Have you noticed the new cycleway? What do you think? Do your kids bike to Whitney Street School?

This group runs once a month and includes morning tea, a chance to chat, and often a guest speaker or activities on a theme. We try to have an outing at least once a year.

Low Km's, 3 Owners (2 of which have been our family.) Well looked after car. Has safety features such as ABS and Airbags. ISOFIX fittings for child carseats makes taking them in and out a breeze. It's a great around town driver and can also handle longer drives thanks to its alloy mags and "sport" gearing. Seats can be folded in 2 stages to expand boot space. Body work is in good condition, just general wear and tear. Would happily hold on to it but we are upsizing due to our family size increasing.
Has done 135,000kms, Cambelt and waterpump were done at 93,000km.
