New build approvals are dropping fast, so while there is strong demand at the moment it is looking bad for the future.

It does seem like WA is going through some changes with its economy and the mining industry.

Thank you for your reply.

The construction industry has always been changing - it was the same in the UK and is the same in Tasmania - we'll just hope that the construction industry and economy stays positive in WA.

Thank you for the reply.

Hope your move goes well.

Where are you thinking of heading?

Hi

If you look at a property that is more rural than you might have more of a chance. Landlords who rent out their houses in rural locations often expect renters to have animals - dogs, cats and even sheep.

Where in Tassie are you looking at moving too? Might be worth contacting some estate agents in that area and asking them if they have any properties on their books that would allow 3 dogs.

Hi

Happy Australia Day.

Recently there has been lots in the news about the WA economy and also the building industry - we're probably noticing because we're thinking of moving interstate but I was hoping to get some feedback from those in WA?

I know news articles can favour one view or another so I'm not taking any article as right or wrong. When we were in Perth last year there was building work going on so I'd take that as a good sign. Does anyone have any knowledge of the building industry - specifically carpenters and the local economy? Hopefully someone can help?

Thank you

Emma

Glad the move went well.

Now all we have to do is sell our house.

Can't wait for warmer weather!!

Hi

Tassie is too cold.

Economy here isn't great - my daughter has been looking for part time work for 2 years now.

Daughter is looking at uni in Perth.

Thank you for the reply.

Good news about the building and rentals.

Hi

I am hoping for a bit of advice if possible.

We have been in Tassie now for 6 years but are looking at moving to WA - Rockingham area at the end of 2015.

OH is a carpenter and just wondered what the building trade is like over there?

Also I have heard that it is difficult to get a rental - is this right?

Thank you

Emma
