Trent Fleskens hosts Ray White's Chelsea Owen for a suburb update on Kalamunda, last covered in October 2019 when the median was about $570,000, now around $970,000 and nearing the million-dollar mark. Chelsea discusses Kalamunda's village feel, housing diversity, schools, quarter-acre blocks, soil and civil cost challenges, and limited large-scale building, with more private builds and some 10–15 site development whispers for 2x2s. Buyer demand is strong, with most listings selling after the first weekend, typically 10–15 groups through and 5–6 offers, often above asking, driven largely by downsizers and families returning to the hills; investors and first home buyers are less present due to price caps. Mobility and low stock constrain both sellers and buyers, with shorter finance timeframes, more cash offers, and longer settlements negotiated. Trent closes with Perth-wide low listings (~2,700), 800+ weekly settlements, and continued price rises while affordability holds.

This week Luke Winter brings the word as we jump into our next sermon series, the Holy Spirit. The spirit is a member of the Trinity and as the church, we should know about it and be in fellowship with the spirit. Our Prayer at Kalamunda is this message equips you with the power and authority that the spirit brings.
Unfortunately, the preacher that was meant to preach this week was unable to preach, so Brad introduced the church's connect groups. Here at Kalamunda, we value connection and community. So if you are interested in joining a connect group that meets throughout the week and meets to join in fellowship. Brad then goes into the importance of community and the need for biblical relationships to be fed into and to feed into other people's lives. We are sorry that the planned message isn't out and that there is a break in the devoted series. The preacher had a personal accident and is okay but couldn't deliver the message. Our prayer is this message empowers and encourages you to surround yourself with people who can support and love you.
In which the Ladywhips prove you don't always need to wear shirtsleeves in this league; there is once again for a tape measure & it is now on Molly's Christmas list; Michelle once again exclaims why it is always her; Renae is in command from the beginning; Olympia doesn't like big cutouts; Ciara is patient; Ella is ferocious; Monica is aggressive with her feet but not the bat; Molly makes adjustments; Michelle does a lot of running; Trav has too fast hands but loves the high ball; Ella doesn't stop; Steph let's it travel; Olympia stays on her back butt cheek; Molly has all the right moves; Richelle gets it done; Rebar doesn't hesitate, Molly remembers she's doing her own washing; Trav rears back and fires; and the Ladywhips book a finals berth again!

In which the shipping container can be unlocked; the diamond still has to be set up & the mound is still wet; Molly is loved by the scorers; Monica keeps being aggressive (even if Sophie won't tell her what to do); Olympia is strong; Currie pulls; Steph never has patience; Megan has presence of mind; Simone is back (in every sense); so is Olympia; Trav has presence on the hill; Anney shows joy in her work; Gemma makes adjustments, Calista needs patience; Monica is grateful for the unnecessary outfield practice; Simone knows when she is done; Trav gets a very long single; Simone breaks her longest drought; Olympia is fearless with the stick as well as the glove; Ciara makes adjustments but is still robbed; Steph is astute; nothing gets passed Olympia; Trav rides her luck; Currie attempts to do the same; & Trav plays 100 much to the joy of both teams!
Tim Phipps finishes the sermon series FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions), with the question, How do I know what God's Will is? How do you decern God's will in our lives whether it is in a small capacity or major life choices? What is the importance of decerning God's will in our lives? Well, Pastor Tim Phipps explores the answer addressing its complexities. But our lord is for us and wants to share his perfect will and plan for our lives, so join us as Pastor Tim delves into the word and what it says about God's will. Our pray at Kalamunda is that this sermon blesses you and brings you closer to God. Cause you are loved more than you know.
Five days after calling 6PR Breakfast in tears after her dog jumped out of her son's car window at a Kalamunda service station and disappeared after being hit by a car, Tonka has come home. A jubilant Anita told Breakfast fill-in host Michael Genovese on Tuesday that Tonka was a little injured and had lost a lot of weight but was back home and "so over the moon". "It's been a week today, so my son rang me at 6am this morning... he was found at St Brigids, and he was living in an al fresco area, and the residents there told [son] Chris that their security lights kept coming on every night, and that doesn't usually happen," she said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In which Kalamunda do to the Ladywhips what they did to them in the grand final; Molly's eyes at least are not unwell; Calista's eyes are really big; Renae still has her strut; Michelle is a little lucky; Simone is definitely not; Annie makes yet another start in a row; gloves need to be awoken; Steph is ferocious with the bat, although less so with the glove; Monica is too aggressive; as are Sophie, Gemma & Amelia; Danielle is very unlucky, Anney continues to be patient; Sophie gets the ball again; Danielle gets a crash course; Renae is pitched around; Annie makes the most of an outfield moment while Amelia goes looking for work.
As we continued our sermon series on FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions), two brilliant questions came up. Is God male or female? How do we love someone and rebuke sin, when in rebuking someone's sin you are attacking a part of their identity? Although the question may be controversial Rod handles the questions well, with good biblical backing. Cause who else can we learn from but Jesus himself and the love and wisdom he displays? We at Kalamunda pray this message blesses you and brings answers to some of life's tough questions.
Earlier this week on Perth Live caller Jacqui raised her parental concerns as the 299 twice-a-day bus route that takes students to schools in Kalamunda was cut due to the new airport train line. Rita Saffioti, WA Transport Minister told Oliver Peterson that the delivery of the a train line is aimed at reducing the amount of bus' that run parallel to it. "There has been some consolidation of the bus route along Great Eastern Highway - work was undertaken to devise new routes to work with the train line," she told Oly on Perth Live. "For many students and people there is more direct access to their schools but there are some where that access has changed and there's been a need to swap between bus and train now. "We have had feedback so we are working with the agency to see if there is other tweaks we can make to the service and will be reviewing the situation over the next couple weeks." Rita Saffioti also responded to a second issue that was raised on Perth Live this week. Caller Jessica alerted Oly that there is a known issue between the Department of Transport database and Police database which has seen some cars appearing unregistered and therefore police will seize plates. "We've tried to interrogate this example - we understand there is a delay with BPAY between 2 and 5 days between payments - however there is a few things out of our control with how BPAY conducts themselves but I will talk to the Minister of Police if there is any sort of ability of proof of payment can be considered." "I've always had a personal passion about the rego stickers but every time I raised it to others, they said don't be silly Rita."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode we have a doctor of environmental science known to some as Dr. Greywater. Ross Mars is an author, a teacher and has 20 years experience in the field of greywater and wastewater. He's the Managing Director of Water Installations, a company based here in Perth, W.A.He is also an accredited permaculture design teacher and teaches people how to teach permaculture.Listen in as Ross shares a bit of his journey and we discuss: the development of permaculture, greywater systems, Australian native herbs and medicinal plants, and how we can use water more effectively in our environment.This episode is a bit of an insight into how we use water here in Western Australia, but I think the principals can be utilised in any climate.Check out Ross' work at:http://www.waterinstallations.com/http://www.redplanetplants.com.au/http://www.mundaringecostay.com/https://www.cfpermaculture.com.au/https://www.youtube.com/user/WaterInstallationsShow NotesFormative Experiences & Background- grew up with orchards & home-grown veggies- learned a lot while weeding the garden- first got into permaculture by tagging along with his wife to a course- studied biology and teaching- specialised in waste water for graduate research project- worked on introducing accredited permaculture training to Western Australia- discussion of permaculture courses- Ross is “Dr Greywater”- did lots of experiments & thesis on greywater- discussion of greywater ecosystemsThe Future of Permaculture- Ross enjoys teaching others, especially those who go on to also teach people themselves- seeing a huge move of people learning to live more sustainably- vegetable seedlings are the most popular selling plant- understanding that you do have options- seeing change among mainstream farmersBacking It Up With Science- Ross is very keen to make sure what is being taught about permaculture is firmly based on science- when wanting to use herbs medicinally, find out what you can about the herb being tested so as to use it safely- much of current herb lore is anecdotal- working to get studies undertaken to test these claims- discussion of current testingsWater Filtration & Soil- discussion about turning greywater into drinking water- passing water through some kind of filter, for ex. soil- if we get the soil right, we get the plants and the people healthy- when we build soil, we can create biological filters for our water- need to build water literacy among local populationsIn 50 Years, Ross Would Like to See…- desalination plants are not the way of the future- stormwater harvesting is beginning to be practised in Western Australia- government enforced grey water home systems- needs to be more moves to reuse all water on gardensWhat's Happening Now?- discussion of water filtration in Kalamunda (area in Western Australia)- discussion of climate change in Australia, specifically the South West- “transition movement”: arose out of permaculture course in England, also spreading in Australia now, utilising urban areas to grow food and live more sustainably- turning chlorine pools into natural pools- discussion of setting up proper safety measures so water is completely safeLiving a Probiotic Life- planting a seed or cutting and watching it sprout- safeguarding family, teaching kids to grow food- great to see this happening in schools now- become involved in teaching others what you know!- books: Getting Started in Permaculture, The Basics of Permaculture Design, How To Permaculture Your Life- 2 dvds: RAPS - Remote Area Power Supplies
