Among the changes to the NSW Certificate of Title from 1 June 2009 is a new watermark (you see this when an authentic Certificate of Title is held up to the light). The watermark depicts a series of the NSW floral emblem, the waratah, diagonally placed within an outline of the state of NSW. The complete watermark appears multiple times throughout the Certificate of Title.
Also note the paper specifications, the security paper is 120gsm slightly less (weight and thickness) than previously.
For a look at the new look certificate see the PDF file:

NSW Legal Aid has a handbook to guide those having problems with their mortgage. It is particularly useful if you can see problems arising in the future. It will help you by explaining the range of options available and also provides sample documents. It also lets you know where you can get further assistance.
Note that the handbook is not designed to help you choose a mortgage and it offers general information, not legal advice.

Our firm uses a computer system that provides:
* Automated precedents and calculations for our areas of law
* Document and matter management
* Email and calendar integration
* Secure firewalls and access to our central server from the Internet
* Three different types of backup systems: RAID, DVD and USB copies, and
* Scanning and storage of incoming mail and faxes
Also we use our web space to deliver completed work to clients.
This means that your email is not jammed with a large attachment and you can choose when to take delivery of it.
Here is how it works:
· We email you telling you the file (usually a contract) is ready,
· We give you a link in that email to the file's web address,
· Because the link in the email is not to a webpage, no page will open, you get a message that allows you to Save the file to disk.
Note that the file is not linked to any web pages and cannot be accessed without the exact web address.

If you own or are buying property in Sydney, keep your eye on this story:
Inner-west suburbs such as Glebe, Leichhardt, Rozelle and Camperdown are to be among the first to face radical changes should both the $8.1 billion West Metro underneath Parramatta Road and the $4.8 billion CBD Metro go ahead.
"It would also provide significant support for transit-oriented development, urban revitalisation and services to new rail markets," the report says.
Is it urban renewal or will the same logic be applied to places like the lower north shore?
