Two fast-moving British Columbia wildfires that forced residents of more than 3,000 properties in the Shuswap area to evacuate on Friday have burned down homes and structures in multiple communities, the B.C. Wildfire Service confirmed Saturday.
The NSW government is considering changes to the state-owned corporation to focus on developing homes itself, instead of selling off land to developers.
The $3.5m site at Cawdor was bought by the club’s owners from the Boardman family of Camden, who in turn were gifted it in the early 1800s by John Macarthur– the eponymous prominent landowner after whom Macarthur FC is named.
Club chairman Gino Marra revealed plans to build a $35m complex in two stages, with the aim of housing every team associated with the club bar the A-League squad. The first team will be based at the Centre of Excellence currently underway at Macarthur Heights in conjunction with Campbelltown Council.
The first stage of the Cawdor project, compromising five pitches, administration buildings and a sports science unit, is scheduled to commence construction in November and will take 12 months to complete. The second stage will add another six pitches, allowing the club’s academy sides to be based there in total.

Lifestyle tastes have changed. Now no house in Australia can be considered too large no matter how many bedrooms on whatever size block it is.

When âMcMansionâ became a familiar term a few decades ago, it usually invited a faintly derogatory undertone. McMansions represented over-sized, over-the-top, standardised homes in the US squeezed on to relatively small suburban blocks and quickly translated into the suburban outskirts of Australiaâs major cities.
These days, thereâs no suggestion of a new Australian house anywhere being too big or having too many bedrooms, no matter the disappearance of the traditional quarter-acre block or the declining size of families.
