Myrtle Rust (uredo rangelii) is an exotic plant pest in Australia that affects plants in the Myrtaceae family. To date, Myrtle Rust has been found within the Central Coast region of NSW on: Agonis flexuosa (Willow Myrtle cv Afterdark and Burgundy), Callistemon viminalis (Bottle Brush), Leptospermum rotundifolium (Tea Tree), Syncarpia glomulifera (Turpentine), Syzygium leuhmanni x Syzygium wilsonii (Lilly Pilly) and Tristania species (Brush Box). Myrtle Rust can infect leaves of susceptible host range plants producing spore-filled lesions on young actively growing leaves and shoots as well as on fruit and sepals. Rust spores can travel long distances on the wind and may infect susceptible plants many kilometres from the original infestation. Rust spores can be gathered and spread by bees. People can spread Myrtle Rust by the movement of infected plant material or by coming into contact via clothing, dirty equipment and contaminated timber products. What can you do to minimise your risk?

NEW HOME WARRANTY INSURANCE PREMIUM RATES EFFECTIVE 1 OCTOBER 2010 The Home Warranty Insurance Fund has announced the new premium rates to be applied to all certificates of insurance, with effect from 1 October. They are based on “Industry” and do not take into account non-structural elements except where the Works are of a non-structural nature:
The premium rates exclude GST, Stamp Duty and any Processing and Broker Fees that may apply. Metropolitan areas include Greater Sydney, Central Coast and Newcastle Impact the New Premium Rates will have on Builders
Average premiums will go down in the first year. Builders who undertake more risky activities, such as multi-unit dwellings, will attract a higher rate than less risky activities such as non-structural renovations. The majority of builders will pay a lower premium rate under the new system and most small builders will experience a rate reduction. There will be a small number of builders who will receive an increase that reflects the level of risk of their project. Builders should contact their insurance broker to discuss their specific circumstances. Transitional arrangements have been put in place to limit the maximum increase for any builder, on a like-for-like basis, in any one year to 30% for the next five years.
