The month of August of each year, in relation to weather is commonly called the 'August Winds'. This is sue to being the windiest month of the calendar year, based on specific locations in Australia, although sometime it might also be towards the end of month July of each year.
Still being part of the winter season, officially the last month of winter - it is the change that comes before commencing the season of Spring before the 1st September.
I have just noticed recently, the dividing fence between a private property of flats and Shennan Walkway, Mount Druitt has collapsed due to these 'August Winds' over the last weekend. I though stake holders would have been on it already.
It doesn't pose a high risk to the community as where the fence has fallen, is not where the community walks. That being that I'm sure that the residents on the block of flats would like it to be more secured. Closer inspection of the fence, posed a question to myself. Did this fence have proper posts cemented into the ground? To me it appeared not.
We hope that Blacktown City Council with the Strata Managers of this block of flats, remove this fence and provide a better secured fence to prevent the fall of the fence in other times of potential high winds.

The other day, I was walking along Earl Street, North Mount Druitt and there was fresh grass cuttings along the walkway. I first thought that Blacktown City Council just cut the grass and then I noticed this young hard working man blowing the grass away on the left hand side of the street.
I interrupted him and asked him if he was from Blacktown City Council? His reply was, he was from Strata Management and he hopped over to my side the street started to blow off/away the grass cuttings. So I thought wrong!
Strata Managers, if managed very well, will ensure all properties within their strata are well maintained regularly, looking their best!
Let us know if you own a house under 'Strata Management' if public properties are well maintained or not!
