COUNCIL HAS RESOLVED TO PROGRESS PLANNING A NEW BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM LINKING THE EASTERN LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM TO THE HEAVY RAIL IN THE WEST AHEAD OF A POTENTIAL WESTERN LIGHT RAIL SPUR.

hile routes have not yet been settled, one contemplated option connecting the Nobby Beach light rail station to Robina City Parklands would service Pizzey Park, Bond University, Varsity College, Varsity Foreshore Parklands, Robina Town Centre, and Robina Hospital.

The project represents our community’s first-ever district park and ensures our area boasts the same incredible facilities enjoyed elsewhere on the Gold Coast. Meanwhile, a further $700,000 has been allocated for the master planning of the 220-hectare, Green Heart, just north of the Mudgeeraba Creek. Open space is at an incredible premium in our fast-growing city.

It is hoped the initiative will take more cars off the road and give locals easy access to services, community facilities and parks right across the Gold Coast.

Investing in these projects will ensure there is always room to relax, pass time with the family, and enjoy our amazing outdoor lifestyle.

City officers have been directed by Council to brief local State MPs and have already begun working with the Department of Transport and Main Roads, which is ultimately responsible for delivering public transport infrastructure of this scale.

For project updates, visit cityofgoldcoast. com.au/robinacityparklands It’s early but very exciting days for our area — watch this space!

ROBINA CITY PARKLANDS The City Budget 2020-21 allocates a further $8 million towards the construction of the Robina City Parklands, an expansive 17-hectare site opposite Robina’s stadium.

STRATEGY & ADVISORY - WEALTH MANAGEMENT -

GOOD DEBT VERSUS BAD DEBT

Not all debt is bad for building wealth. Understanding the difference between good and bad debt could help you make better financial decisions.

GOOD DEBT Debt is generally considered to be 'good' or positive if it helps you purchase wealth-building assets - meaning assets that are likely to give you an income and/or grow in value over time. Good debt may also be tax deductible. An example is borrowing money to purchase a home or an investment property, which may appreciate in value over the longer term. In the case of an investment property, the owner may be able to use the rental income from the property to help pay off the investment home loan. Investors may also be entitled to a tax deduction known as negative gearing if the loan repayments exceed the rental income earned on the property.

TAX & ACCOUNTING - SMSF - MANAGEMENT RIGHTS BAD DEBT Debt may be viewed as 'bad' or detrimental for your wealth if it is used to buy assets that will fall in value, won't earn you any money and are not tax deductible. Using a credit card or a personal loan to fund things like luxury goods and holidays is also considered an example of taking on bad debt.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SAVING MONEY? Do you want to transition your bad debt into good debt?

CAN BAD DEBT EVER BE GOOD? Arguably bad debt can help you manage your finances and achieve a positive outcome. If you are disciplined and pay off your credit card debts at the end of the month you have used the credit card as positive way to manage your cash flow. This might enable you to keep your money sitting longer in a savings account, for example, where it may earn you interest. Credit card debt becomes bad when you purchase luxury goods that you cannot afford and begin to live beyond your means. This can result in high monthly interest payments accruing over time, which may become increasingly difficult to pay off.

Your first step should be finding the right balance that suits your circumstances. Partnering with a financial advisor can make this process much less daunting. Reach out to us so you can begin the journey to financial freedom!

CAN GOOD DEBT EVER BE BAD? Using good debt to pay off bad debt could cost you years in extra interest payments. An example could be consolidating bad debt into a personal loan or borrowing more on a mortgage. If, for example, you take out a mortgage for $310,000 with the intention of using $10,000 to pay off existing debt, the end result is that you spread the repayment of the debt out over a longer period of time. This means it will probably cost you more in interest payments.

TURTLE NESTING IN FULL SWING

ady Elliot Island is a significant nesting location for Green and Loggerhead Turtles. Nesting season normally occurs between November to February, with hatchlings emerging from January to March. Nesting can occur anywhere around the island but the majority of nests have been recorded in the sand dunes in front of the resort and either end of the airstrip. The nesting process can take between 2 - 8 hours depending on the turtle species and how quickly a suitable nesting site is located. If the female turtle considers the nesting site unsuitable, it will move to another location.

“The remarkable Lady Elliot Island Team were rewarded with Gold at the Queensland Tourism Awards on Friday night. It is a challenge to win this award. I believe its one of the most hotly contested in the state. We are all very honoured to be recognised for our contribution

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort has launched a 2 night turtle package, valid for travel from 28 January to 31 March 2020. Aptly named ‘Turtley Amazing!’, this is a great time to visit Lady Elliot Island if you love turtles as much as we do!

Photographs and videos of manta rays are particularly needed for this project to be successful. Photos are utilised for photo-identification of manta rays and are integrated in a major photographic database which includes all pictures of manta rays recorded around the Australian coastline.

MANTA RAYS

ady Elliot Island is known as ‘Home of the Manta Ray’ and these giant kites of the sea can be seen feeding around the island throughout the year but aggregate in larger numbers during the winter months. The manta ray is the world’s largest ray, with a wing span of up to seven meters.

Manta alfredi, the species found on Lady Elliot island, is known to occur off both the western and eastern Australian coasts. Early data from Project Manta showed that manta rays travel a distance of at least 500km between Lady Elliot Island in Queensland and Byron Bay in New South Wales within few months. Project Manta visit Lady Elliot Island twice a year as part of their multidisciplinary study of manta rays, established in 2007, that aims to provide much needed biological and ecological information on the species in Australian waters. On these expeditions the team will conduct research which includes photographing, observing and recording manta ray behaviour. In the lab, they identify individual
