Surging demand prompts Vinnies WA to relocate its Joondalup Support Centre to larger site
Vinnies WA has moved its Joondalup Support Centre to a larger location as demand for emergency relief and financial counselling continues to rise. Staffed by volunteers, the new centre at 5/209 Winton Road opened on Thursday, offering emergency relief for food, clothing, petrol and utility bills to anyone in the Joondalup community in need of assistance. Vinnies WA says the new site offers more parking, improved accessibility, dedicated delivery access and increased storage capacity, enabling it to assist more people in the community. The Support Centre also provides professional financial counselling and broader community support, including referrals and advocacy services. The Catholic charity, officially known as the St Vincent de Paul Society, has been serving the WA community since 1865 and says demand for essential items such as food, clothing, fuel and utility bills has soared amid the ongoing cost-of-living and housing crises. Vinnies WA service executive manager of community engagement services, Andrew York, said the Joondalup-Wanneroo region was among the fastest growing regions in WA and there had been a considerable increase in the number of local people experiencing homelessness. 'West Australians are facing mounting socio-economic pressures driven by rising living costs, housing insecurity and financial stress, and vulnerable groups in our community are disproportionately impacted,' Mr York said. 'Demand for emergency relief services from Vinnies WA is at an all-time high, and that increase is projected to grow further with another 47 per cent increase forecast in household assistance across WA by 2030.' On Census night in 2021, an estimated 9700 people in WA were homeless. Of those, 2315 were sleeping rough. Vinnies WA said in the previous financial year, the Joondalup Support Centre provided more than 2500 food hampers and vouchers to people in need, supporting nearly 700 families. The first northern centre opened in 2021 to meet rising demand for emergency relief and to adapt to changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are other Vinnies Support Centres in Midland, Mandurah, Rockingham, Kwinana and the South-West. The new Joondalup Support Centre is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10am to 1pm. Appointments are preferred and can be made by calling 1300 794 054 or emailing

Insane asking price for world's worst New York penthouse - realestate.com.au
Hold onto your Akubras, folks, because this Manhattan 'penthouse' is a real head-scratcher. Forget the glitz and glamour you'd expect from one of the world's most expensive cities – this place is more 'building site chic' than 'luxe living.' For a cool $1.095 million (AU$1.665 million), you could be the proud owner of… well, a glorified shell. We're talking bare brick walls, exposed electrical wires dangling like Christmas decorations gone wrong, and an unfinished ceiling that's just begging for a hard hat. This 159-square-metre 'apartment' boasts stunning views of the New York City skyline, but inside, it's less 'penthouse paradise' and more 'post-apocalyptic reno project.' The only furniture is a sad-looking double bed crammed into a corner and a few sofas swathed in plastic, giving the whole place the ambience of a haunted construction site. But wait, there's more.

Underdog beach towns the next Byron Bay Vinnies pulls 'rare' $1k item after outrageous discovery Aussie dad's startling 26kg find The New York apartment resembles more of a construction site then a luxe home. Source: StreetEasy Listing images show wiring hanging off the ceiling. Source: StreetEasy At least the home comes with stunning views. Source: StreetEasy According to the listing agent, Michel Madie, this 'meticulously gutted canvas is sold well below market.' Apparently, you're not just buying a fixer-upper; you're buying 'the best architect plans' to unleash your inner design guru. Mr Madie even suggests you can 'let the design evolve with your certainty, on your timing,' which sounds suspiciously like code for 'this project is going to take forever and cost a fortune.' On a positive, pets are allowed in the apartment complex – although no dog or cat would feel at home as is stands. Unsurprisingly, the listing has set social media alight, with Reddit users having a field day dissecting the property's 'unique' features. 'Location location location,' one user conceded, 'And you don't have to rip out everything to start a reno – they've alrea dydone that.' Silver linings, eh? 'I would love that if I had another 500k to renovate,' another lamented, highlighting the eye-watering cost of turning this disaster zone into a dream home. Not sure we'd want to host a dinner party here. Source: StreetEasy At least there's a bed. Source: StreetEasy Others were less charitable. 'I like the idea of just lying down in a bed filled with sawdust at the end of a hard day's work,' one wag commented. 'Glad they put the bed there. Really livens up the room,' another joked, perfectly capturing the absurdity of the situation, while another stated: 'Bringing back the I'm a squatter look again.' So, is this Manhattan 'penthouse' a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a cashed-up renovator, or a million-dollar mistake waiting to happen?
