Get involved! Do your bit during National Recycling Week

With the 14th annual Planet Ark National Recycling Week kicking off next week Peet is encouraging residents at all its estates to get involved!

The Planet Ark event, which runs from Monday 9 November to Sunday 15 November, brings a national focus to recycling and waste management.  So take up the challenge, look at your daily habits and make the changes to reduce, reuse and recycle at home, at work and in the community.

To find out more about National Recycling Week visit http://recyclingweek.planetark.org/.

Did you know?  Plastic bags can be recycled, just not in your home recycling bin. Instead, you can drop them off at specially-marked recycling bins at the front of most supermarkets. For information on what can and can't be recycled in your area visit www.recyclingnearyou.com.au.

Peet streamlines house and land search

Homebuyers in Western Australia can save days, hours and even weeks searching for their new home thanks to Peet’s new website – www.peethouseandland.com.au – which was launched today.

Peet teamed up with more than 30 builders to create the website, featuring Western Australia’s largest range of house and land packages.

Homebuyers can literally sort through hundreds of homesites and home designs in minutes – wherever and whenever they like.

After setting a budget, preferred home features and selecting a Peet community, tailor-made packages are delivered to the customer online.

Homebuyers can then compare options, adjust their preferences using a sliding scale and view detailed plans to find a dream home that suits their lifestyle.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the website would save time, streamline the home selection process and make it easier for homebuyers to find the option that specifically suited them.

“Peet House and Land uses dynamic search technology to create packages customised to meet preferences set by homebuyers,” Mr Gore said.

“Peet recognises time is precious and we are pleased to make the home selection process easier by helping homebuyers search for their new home whenever and wherever they like.

“By matching budgets and preferences to Peet homesites and home designs from more than 30 builders, we can deliver customised solutions, which saves time and effort but that enables homebuyers to stay in control of the results.”

Mr Gore said Peet had worked with more than 30 of WA’s home builders to produce the website.

He said new packages would be added each week to the Peet House and Land website to ensure homebuyers had access to the latest land and home designs released.

The website also features a raft of information about selecting a homesite and building a new home – from budgeting to land settlement and home construction – which will also be updated regularly.

Homebuyers wanting to start their home search can visit www.peethouseandland.com.au

Second chance at grants of $21,000 for WA first homebuyers

First homebuyers have a second chance to build a new home at a Peet Limited estate with the help of $21,000 in grants, thanks to the extension of the First Home Owners Boost (FHOB).

The Federal Government announced yesterday that first homebuyers would have another six months to access the grant – but the amount available would be cut by half from 1 October 2009.

Homebuyers who sign a contract to build a new home on or before 30 September 2009 could be eligible for a FHOB of $14,000, plus another $7,000 First Home Owners Grant.

Between 1 October 2009 and 31 December 2009, the FHOB will be cut by half but first homebuyers could still be eligible for $14,000 toward their new homes.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore welcomed the extension of the FHOB.

He said the steps involved in selecting a homesite and house design before signing a building contract meant time had been quickly running out for many eligible buyers before the extension was announced.

"Peet is pleased to offer a range of quality, affordable homesites at estates in both northern and southern suburbs to meet the needs of first homebuyers," he said.

"The next few months give first homebuyers the ideal opportunity to secure a new home at a time when there is a good choice of homesites available at very competitive prices and interest rates are low."

Before making a grant application, first homebuyers will need to allow time to:
• find a homesite
• choose their preferred builder
• select a home design
• sign the building contract

So, act now to make the most of the grants on offer:
