AN IMPROVING job market and business confidence is being reflected in the local rental market which has been steadily improving for the past five quarters and the trend is expected to continue. |
Rockhampton Region's rental vacancy rate in June was 3 per cent and tightening, down from 8.6per cent at the same time last year. |
In Livingstone Shire, rental vacancies have dropped from 6.6 to 2.4per cent. |
REIQ Rockhampton zone chair, Noel Livingston said the market was getting tight for rentals, especially for better properties, and prices would start to increase as things tightened further. |
"It's all about jobs," Mr Livingston said. |
"The vacancy rate got so high with the loss of jobs from the mining downturn and the flow on effect to businesses, but with an increase in mining there's been more jobs come into the marketplace. |
"The increase in mining has flowed on. |
"Hastings Deering is a good example of that - last year they employed two apprentices and this year they put on 43." |
This rise in mining and business confidence across the region has come without the influence of Adani's Carmichael mine, but Mr Livingston says when it does happen it will have an enormous effect on all business in Rocky. |
"The public aren't buying into Adani, it's taken so long," he said. |
"Not a lot of people are counting on it, but when it happens it will hit us like a freight train. |
"Real estate in particular with a lot more interest from southern investors." |
The real estate sales market has also been steadily improving with investment sales just beginning to pick up based on low rental vacancy rates. |
"We're in the mid-year flat spot at the moment for sales," Mr Livingston said. |
"But that will pick up before Christmas when people have a better idea of what they are doing next year." |

The Lords has finally approved a motion censuring the former Liberal Democrat peer Anthony Lester after a report found he had sexually harassed a woman, after one of his former colleagues prompted shouts of protest by doubting the motives of his accuser. |
Lester has always denied the allegations. The human rights barrister resigned from the Lords last week and so will not be subject to the formal sanction from the privileges and conduct committee that would have suspended him until mid-2022. |
The committee imposed the punishment after a report concluded Lester had harassed Jasvinder Sanghera, a long-time campaigner against forced marriage, at one point offering to make her a baroness if she slept with him. |
Such punishments have to be approved by the Lords and usually pass by unchallenged assent, but during the first attempt to do so, David Pannick, a long-time friend of Lester, forced a vote, which blocked the sanction. |
Pannick and other peers reiterated their complaints on Monday that the procedures under which Lester, 82, was found culpable were unfair, but he did not seek a vote and the motion was passed. |
The debate again prompted anger, particularly among some female peers, as supporters of Lester sought to cast doubt on Sanghera’s testimony and motives. The main protests came when Tom McNally, a former Lib Dem leader in the Lords, asked why Sanghera did not make a formal complaint when the necessary Lords procedures w... |
This prompted shouts from other peers of “stop this now” and “you’re embarrassing all of us”. |
The crossbench peer Lola Young said: “I can’t tell you how sad it is for me to have to follow on from Lord McNally, because in the past I’ve been a great admirer of his work.” His comments were “completely out of order, totally inappropriate, and [it] actually demeans the value of the debate we’ve had this afternoon”, ... |
The former Labour MP John McFall, who chairs the privileges and conduct committee, opened the debate by urging peers to agree the report, “both to deliver justice to the complainant, Jasvinder Sanghera, and to give confidence to other possible complainants and respondents that we have a robust but fair process in place... |
In his speech Pannick reiterated his worries about the process. “An individual’s reputation has been destroyed by reference to allegations of what is said to have occurred over 11 years ago,” he said. |
Helena Kennedy was among a series of female peers to express concern about the tone of the debate. “All the tropes that imply that women are somehow not be to be relied on were presented to this house,” she said. |
• This article was amended on 18 December 2018. An earlier version erroneously referred to Lola Young as a Labour peer. This has been corrected. |
Linda Asante-Agyei, Vice-President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), has asked female media practitioners to upgrade and equip themselves with skills that would push them into higher positions of challenging tasks, in their respective organizations. |
The Journalists were taken through topics such as Accepting Differences and Dealing with Discrimination, Journalists Rights and Gender Agreement at the Work Places, Combating Sexual Harassment at the workplace and Dealing with Safety on the Field of Work. |
Mrs. Asante-Agyei said the GJA acknowledges the important role female journalists played in executing the core functions of the journalism profession, which was mainly dominated by men. |
She noted that GJA has put together a legal team to defend journalists when their rights are abused. |
The GJA vice Chair, advised female journalists to take up precautionary measures in their line of duty and make sure that they were always alive to tell their story. |
Also the Central Regional Manager of the Ghana News Agency, Mrs Tettey insisted that victims of sexual harassment must report to the higher authorities, males who harassed them sexually and not to succumb to their advances while ensuring that their rights and privacy were respected. |
Madam Georgina Ama Ankumah, the Ashanti Regional GJA Secretary, also an IFJ trainer, who took the participants through “Dealing with Discrimination”, said Journalists must not be subjected to unnecessary arrest, detention and torture. |

Eira Thomas isn't a household name but has been a powerhouse in the diamond industry and worked to change a terrible thing about an industry that deals with beauty. |
When people meet Eira Thomas, they don’t usually recognize her as the diamond maven she is. She grew up following her father around the Canadian mining fields, getting dirty and digging with her hands to connect with the bounty of the earth. From humble beginnings, her father also equipped her with the knowledge that t... |
That was the year she led a team into the remoter regions of Canada’s Northwest Territories and discovered a multibillion-dollar diamond deposit, which was named Diavik. It’s been nearly 20 years since Thomas spearheaded that discovery, and she’s transformed herself into an extremely savvy business woman. While she no ... |
Canada is a leader when it comes to blood-free diamonds, and Thomas has been at the forefront of that effort. As more people become aware of the reality of blood diamonds and steer away from stones mined in violent places like Sierra Leone, they’re willing to pay more for cruelty-free diamonds that were discovered up n... |
While pure or nearly pure diamonds are transparent and colorless, and traditionally enjoyed the greatest value, buyers have been paying more and more for colored diamonds in recent years. Impurities, such as nitrogen for yellow or brown, or boron for blue, or structural defects can color diamonds. In the past five year... |
Eira Thomas is a trained geologist who has had an illustrious career as a pioneer in the Canadian diamond industry. Until Thomas’s discovery, North America wasn’t regarded as a serious player when it came to mining diamonds. However, her triumph wasn’t just about quantity: these were also some of the highest quality di... |
They were so phenomenal that Tiffany & Co. committed to purchase $50 million in diamonds annually. This might look like a lucky hand for Thomas, but luck has always been on her side. She has set the bar high when it comes to the quality of diamonds for sale, and her “boutique” image has helped her company rise to the t... |
Now Thomas is out to prove that it was business savvy, more than sheer good fortune, that put her on the map. Currently, she is a director at Lucara Diamond Corp. and Strongbow Exploration Inc. She also serves on the board of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada. |
Whether it’s for girl power or not, Thomas’s chairman and partner is another powerful woman, Catherine McLeod-Seltzer, who made a name for herself discovering Peruvian gold in the mid-90s. In an industry traditionally headed and funded by men, Thomas’s grit and ambition (thanks to her father) has helped her blaze the t... |
Some of Thomas’s critics have charged that she hoards the credit to herself, but she brushes those complaints aside. She knows she’s the leader, and claims that she’s always shared her success with those who deserve it because they were by her side during discoveries or negotiations. |
Thomas is also a staunch advocate for worker’s rights. Despite having to dig through ice, working conditions are good, laborers paid well, Workers at the mine went on strike in 2006, but over the failure of BHP to appease the union in terms of collective bargaining. This is a far cry from the issues seen in parts of Af... |
It’s clear that Thomas and her company are lending an example to an industry needing to eradicate a terrible aspect of their trade. Inhumane business practices are most definitely a blemish on an industry prized for its beauty. |
However, it is something that consumers, and moguls like Thomas, are able to fight. Sound business decisions and consumer research can go a long way - choosing to work with reputable diamond distributors (no matter how large or small) will help put the bad ones out of business. |
