Picnic in the Park 2024
At Noble Avenue Real Estate, our commitment extends far beyond selling homes—we’re dedicated to creating a stronger, more connected community. One of the ways we give back is through proudly sponsoring the annual Picnic in the Park at Harbour View Park, Hillarys, a cherished event that highlights the vibrant spirit of Harbour Rise and the northern suburbs of Perth. For the past four years, our Founder, Linda Noble, has championed this event, reflecting her unwavering belief in the power of community. Linda’s passion for Hillarys and her dedication to giving back drive our mission to make Harbour Rise more than just a beautiful neighbourhood—it’s a thriving, connected hub where neighbours become friends and memories are made. This year’s Picnic in the Park was one of the most memorable yet. Harbour View Park was alive with families, friends, and their furry companions enjoying an afternoon of music, delicious food, and neighbourly connection. The turnout was larger than ever, with both returning attendees and new faces joining in to celebrate what makes Harbour Rise such a special place to call home. Celebrating the Heart of the Community There’s something uniquely special about Harbour Rise. It’s not just the beautiful surroundings or the coastal northern suburbs location—it’s the people who make this neighbourhood shine. Hillary's Picnic in the Park is a testament to the vibrant community spirit here, a moment where laughter, music, and conversation bring neighbours together in meaningful ways. Linda Noble herself shares this sentiment, often remarking that it’s the warmth of the people that transforms Harbour Rise from a neighbourhood into a true community. This year, festivities were brought to life through the collaboration of the Harbour Rise Homeowners Association, led by the incredible David Hudson, whose efforts have ensured the success of this Hillarys tradition. Throughout the Joondalup Symphony Orchestra delivered captivating performances that filled the air with beautiful melodies, creating a magical and uplifting atmosphere. No picnic is complete without delicious food, and the team at San Remo Whitfords ensured everyone was well-fed with freshly baked pizzas and refreshing drinks. Their generosity added another layer of enjoyment to the day. We were also honoured to welcome Cr Phillip Vinciullo from the City of Joondalup and Caitlin Collins MLA, who mingled with attendees and celebrated the unique sense of community that events like this foster. Their support reinforces the value of bringing people together to strengthen neighbourhood connections. Why Community Involvement Matters At Noble Avenue Real Estate, we know that a great neighbourhood is about more than just homes—it’s about the people who live there and the connections they share. Events like the Picnic in the Park are an essential part of our mission to foster these connections, creating a sense of belonging that transforms suburbs like Hillarys and Harbour Rise into true communities. Our involvement isn’t just a sponsorship—it’s an investment in the people and places we care deeply about. Linda Noble’s vision for supporting local events reflects our belief that by giving back, we strengthen the fabric of our neighbourhoods, ensuring they remain vibrant and welcoming for years to come. Looking Ahead to Next Year As this year’s event came to a close, we were left inspired by the joy, connection, and sense of community we witnessed. We’re already looking forward to next year’s Picnic in the Park, where new friendships will be formed, and cherished memories will once again fill Harbour View Park.

Noble Avenue Real Estate: #2 Food Drive Fundraiser for Foodbank WA!
At Noble Avenue Real Estate, we’re passionate about more than just selling homes—we’re committed to supporting the community we call home. This year, we’re incredibly proud to announce that we’ve been named the #2 Food Drive Fundraiser for Foodbank WA in 2024! Through the overwhelming generosity of our Perth northern suburbs local community, we’ve achieved an incredible milestone in our Reverse Advent Calendar initiative. In just a few months, we filled 250 boxes and collected over 2,372 kilograms of food, smashing last year’s record of 170 boxes. This achievement is a testament to the power of community and the incredible impact we can make when we work together. We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our real estate team at Noble Avenue Real Estate, who went above and beyond to coordinate donations, promote the initiative, and ensure that every box was packed onto the Foodbank truck and delivered to those in need. The dedication of our team, combined with the generosity of our neighbours and clients, has been the driving force behind this remarkable accomplishment. Supporting Foodbank WA: Why It Matters Foodbank WA provides essential food relief to thousands of Western Australians who face food insecurity daily. As one of the largest hunger-relief charities in the state, their work is critical to ensuring that no family goes without a meal. The food donations we’ve collected will provide meals to hundreds of families, offering them hope and stability during a time of year that can be especially challenging. Learn more here. Our Record-Breaking Reverse Advent Calendar The Noble Avenue Reverse Advent Calendar is all about giving back during the holiday season. Instead of opening a calendar door, participants add a non-perishable food item to a box each day, creating a generous collection of supplies to be donated. This year, the response from our community was overwhelming. The thoughtful contributions from our neighbours, clients, and supporters helped us surpass all prior year totals and make a real difference for families in need. A Huge Thank You to Our Community This success would not have been possible without the generous support of our local community in the Perth northern suburbs, who showed their compassion and willingness to give back. Whether you donated a single item, filled an entire box, or helped spread the word about the initiative, your contribution has made a tangible difference. We’d also like to acknowledge Foodbank WA for their ongoing commitment to fighting hunger and ensuring that every donation finds its way to those who need it most. Looking Forward: Let’s Make 2025 Even Bigger! While we celebrate this milestone, we know the work doesn’t stop here. The need for food relief continues, and we’re already planning for an even bigger and better Reverse Advent Calendar next year. Want to get involved in 2025?

Tips to Keep Your Home Safe and Sound While You’re Away
It’s no secret that us northern suburbs locals love a summer getaway. Whether you’re packing the car for a family trip to Margaret River or heading up the coast for a relaxed stay in Lancelin, there’s nothing like escaping the day-to-day for a well-earned break. But before you head off, there’s one thing every homeowner needs to think about – keeping your home safe and sound while you’re away. Here are our practical tips by the Noble Avenue Real Estate Team to give you peace of mind while you enjoy your well-deserved downtime. Make Your Home Look Lived In The easiest way to deter unwanted visitors is to make your home look like someone’s still there. Lights and timers: Set up timers for a few lamps to switch on and off in the evenings. Smart home devices make this a breeze. Mail and deliveries: A full letterbox or parcels left at the door are big giveaways. Ask a neighbour or friend to collect mail or pause deliveries. Garden maintenance: If you’re away for more than a week, organise someone to mow the lawn and water the plants to keep everything looking tidy. Install CCTV Systems and Take Advantage of Local Rebates Installing a CCTV system is one of the most effective ways to enhance your home’s security. Better yet, several councils in Perth’s northern suburbs are offering rebates to encourage residents to install these systems: City of Joondalup The City of Joondalup has introduced a 12-month trial offering rebates of up to $500 for residents installing CCTV systems on their properties. This initiative aims to boost community surveillance and reduce crime. (Source: Perth Now) City of Stirling The City of Stirling’s "Safer Suburbs Rebate" offers residents 30% off the cost of CCTV installations, up to a maximum of $500. To qualify, at least one camera must have a clear view of public areas like footpaths or roads. (Source: Stirling Council) City of Wanneroo Residents and businesses in the City of Wanneroo can claim a rebate of up to 30% off CCTV installation costs. This program encourages locals to enhance security on their properties. (Source: Facebook) Installing a CCTV system provides extra peace of mind while you’re away and can increase the overall appeal of your home if you’re planning to sell with Noble Avenue Real Estate. Lock Up Properly It sounds simple, but double-checking the house is secure can save you from a major headache. Doors and windows: Ensure all doors, windows, and side gates are locked and secured. Don’t forget garage doors and sheds – they’re common targets. Spare keys: Don’t leave a key under the doormat or in a pot plant. If someone needs access, give it to them directly. Security systems: If you’ve got a security system or CCTV cameras, make sure they’re set and in working order before you leave. For added security, consider upgrading to smart locks and window screens – a small investment with long-term benefits. Keep Valuables Out of Sight It’s always a good idea to move high-value items, like laptops, jewellery, and car keys, out of view. For added security: Use a safe: Store valuables in a locked safe or secure drawer. Curtains and blinds: Leave them slightly open so the house doesn’t look empty, but not so much that passersby can see inside. Enlist the Help of Friends and Neighbours One of the benefits of living in close-knit northern suburbs communities is the friendly neighbour network. Let a trusted neighbour or friend know you’ll be away and ask them to keep an eye on things. If they’re comfortable, they can park their car in your driveway every now and then, making it look like someone’s home. Return the favour when they head off on their own holiday – it’s what neighbours are for! Be Mindful on Social Media We all love sharing holiday snaps, but posting in real-time can alert people that your home is empty. Avoid sharing your travel plans publicly. Post photos after you return. Review your privacy settings to ensure only trusted friends see your updates. Protecting your home starts with what you share online. It’s a simple step to keep your property safe while you’re away. Check Insurance and Security Features A quick check of your home and contents insurance can go a long way in giving you extra confidence while you’re away. Ensure your policy covers theft or damage while you’re not home. If it’s been a while since you upgraded your locks, alarms, or cameras, now might be the time to give them a refresh. Unplug and Protect Before heading out, take a moment to unplug non-essential appliances to avoid electrical hazards and reduce your energy bill. Surge protectors can also come in handy if summer storms roll through while you’re away. Keeping Your Home Safe with Noble Avenue Real Estate There’s nothing quite like a summer getaway to recharge, reconnect, and make lasting memories. By taking a little extra time to secure your home, you can head off with confidence knowing everything is safe and sound for your return. So, enjoy those lazy afternoons in Margaret River, the salty air of Lancelin, or wherever your road trip takes you – because your northern suburbs sanctuary will be waiting, just as you left it. In addition to this, whether you’re preparing for a getaway or planning to sell, installing security systems, like CCTV, can provide peace of mind and add long-term value to your home.

Selling or Buying a Home with a Pool
If you’ve been dreaming of lounging by your pool this summer, you’re not alone—especially in Perth’s northern suburbs! According to recent data from Domain, ‘pools’ topped the list of most-searched keywords in the area last quarter. Whether you’re buying or selling a home with a pool, it’s vital to understand the responsibilities, compliance requirements, and opportunities that come with pool ownership. To help, the Noble Avenue Real Estate team has crafted this guide to help homeowners and buyers alike make informed decisions about properties with pools or spas. Pool Safety Compliance: A Non-Negotiable for Perth Homeowners In Western Australia, strict regulations ensure pools are safe for families and communities. All pools deeper than 30cm must meet compliance standards, including safety barriers with: Self-closing, self-latching gates. Non-climbable fences that are at least 1.2 metres high. These standards are outlined in Australian Standard (AS 1926.1-2012), and non-compliance can result in legal consequences for homeowners. For Sellers: Be Prepared Selling a home with a pool? Compliance is key. You’ll need to obtain a compliance certificate before listing your property. This not only ensures a smooth sales process but also reassures potential buyers that the pool is safe and ready to use. Unsure about compliance? Arrange an inspection with your local council or a certified pool safety expert. Non-compliance consequences: Delays in the sale process, reduced buyer interest, or costly last-minute upgrades. For Buyers: Be Informed When purchasing a home with a pool in Perth, always request the compliance certificate during negotiations. Beyond legal safety requirements, verify that all features, such as gates and fences, are in good working order. Noble Avenue Real Estate Team insider tip: Hire a professional pool inspector to assess the pool for: Structural issues like cracks or leaks. Equipment functionality, including filtration systems. Any updates required for compliance. Maintenance and Costs: What Sellers and Buyers Need to Know For Sellers: Showcase a Well-Maintained Pool A well-maintained pool not only creates a great first impression but also enhances your home’s value. To achieve this consider: Cleanliness: Remove debris, balance chemicals, and clean tiles. Filtration System: Ensure all equipment is in optimal working condition. Upgrades: Address wear and tear, such as resurfacing the deck or replacing damaged tiles. Transparency is also key. Provide buyers with a record of recent pool servicing, equipment updates, and any warranties. For Buyers: Plan for Ongoing Maintenance Pools bring joy but also come with ongoing expenses. Consider costs for: Regular cleaning and chemical treatments. Energy for pumps and heaters. Maintenance or replacement of equipment like filters or chlorinators. Noble Avenue Real Estate Team insider tip: Ask the seller for details about the pool’s servicing history and typical costs to budget accordingly. You can also hire a professional to assess the pool for cracks, leaks, or outdated systems to avoid post-purchase surprises. Is a Pool Right for Your Lifestyle? Pools are more than just a property feature—they represent a lifestyle of leisure, entertaining, and family fun. But it’s essential to assess whether the pool fits your needs: Design: Is the pool the right size for your family? Does it complement the property’s layout? Child Safety: Families with young children should prioritise safety features, including compliant barriers and gates. Maintenance Commitment: Are you prepared for the upkeep? In Perth’s northern suburbs—where outdoor entertaining is a way of life—a pool can significantly enhance your home’s value or daily living. However, it’s essential to evaluate its practicality alongside its appeal. Pool Presentation: Making the Most of Your Pool’s Potential A well-presented pool can significantly increase your property’s value. At Noble Avenue Real Estate, we offer styling and renovation services through Noble Elevate to enhance your pool area and any other areas of the home to make it stand out and maximise your properties price at sale. Our team can transform your pool area into a show-stopping feature: Professional Styling: We stage the area with outdoor furniture, potted plants, and lighting to create an inviting lifestyle image. Minor Renovations: Address wear and tear with upgrades like resurfacing the deck, replacing tiles, or refreshing landscaping. These changes not only make your property more attractive to buyers but also help you secure the best possible price. Why Choose Noble Avenue Real Estate?
