The City is investing millions of dollars to purchase wildlife habitat across the Gold Coast.

If you live or travel in koala habitat areas, you can help keep koalas safe by following these simple steps: drive slowly and stay alert on the road; make your backyard is safe and contain your dog at night; and create a koala corridor with koala food trees and koala-friendly fencing to ensure safe passage through the landscape.

I

n the current financial year alone, we have allocated $4.5 million for land acquisitions including wildlife corridors as we head towards our target of 51 percent of native vegetation cover within our overall city footprint.

Investing in green and open space is about protecting our flora and fauna as well as protecting our lifestyle. After all, the Gold Coast is home to over 3,000 native animal species, 2,500 native plants, 2,300 parks, 758km of bush trails and 171km of navigable waterways. We have 52km of open beaches and we manage more than 13,000 hectares of green and open space.

Right now, it’s koala breeding season (until January 2024). This means adult koalas are on the move seeking a mate. It also means juvenile koalas are dispersing in search of their own home range. The increase in movement causes a rise in koala injuries and fatalities due to vehicle collisions or encounters with dogs.

Of course, if you spot a koala in danger, call for help on 5527 2444 (Wildcare Australia’s 24/7 hotline).

For information and to report a koala sighting, visit cityofgoldcoast.com.au/ helpsavekoala

Tom Tate Mayor Gold Coast

Koalas mainly move between trees by travelling on the ground and as Gold Coasters know, they are most active between dusk and dawn.

Palm Meadows for over 20 years

After a holiday to the Gold Coast 40 years ago, John fell in love with the area and made the decision to live here. Specialising in the Palm Meadows property market for the past 20 years, John prides himself on his ability to bring together both the buyer and seller in such a way that both parties not only achieve their desired goals but positively enjoyed the process.

John attributes his ability to connect with people and quickly build rapport, largely down to his previous past experience within the retail sector. As an interior designer and decorator, John founded and opened 8 home wares and interior design stores all located in prime retail positions throughout Melbourne. Working closely with his clients to successfully create and design their dream home, not only involved a superior eye for detail but required John to engage elevated communication skills and to quickly develop close personal connections.

Utilising his past experiences and refined skills, along with his natural personable approach, is not only John’s defining difference as an agent but is the cornerstone to John’s continued positive outcomes and consistent client referrals.

John is without a doubt the leading agent in the area and holds the record for the highest sale price for each of the estates in Palm Meadows with single allotment homes.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU REALLY SAVE BY REFINANCING? Not sure what refinancing is all about? You’re not alone.

Our quick explainer lets you master the basics and helps you work out how much you could save.

HOME LOAN REFINANCING IS A HOT TOPIC RIGHT NOW.

E

ver since interest rates hit an upward trajectory in May 2022, skyrocketing numbers of homeowners – as many as 28,000 each month – have turned their attention to refinancing.

However, plenty of Australians could be missing out on the savings of refinancing simply because they’re unsure of what’s involved.

Research by Finder shows one-in-five people are in the dark about refinancing, while 63% admit to being only “slightly confident” in their knowledge of refinancing.

So, let’s take a quick look at what refinancing is, and how it can reduce stress by potentially putting cash back in your pocket.

What does refinancing mean?

Refinancing simply means replacing your old mortgage with a new loan and lender.

The process is similar to the one you followed to apply for your current loan.

You decide the loan you’d like to switch to, make a formal application, and provide evidence of income, expenses, and your personal ID. If the loan is approved, you can sit back and relax as the new lender arranges to pay out your old loan. When that’s taken care of, you just start making repayments to the new bank.

Refinancing can be a surprisingly simple process. Better still, it can all happen very quickly, usually taking about four weeks from start to finish.

Refinancing can be a stress buster Refinancing can be an opportunity to access home equity, enjoy better loan features, or consolidate several personal debts.

But the number one reason for refinancing is to save money by paying a lower loan interest rate. Those savings can help take the financial pressure off homeowners.

According to Finder, 60% of refinancers admitted to being stressed about their home loan before deciding to switch.

If that sounds like you, making the move to a new loan could be a valuable stress buster.

How much could you save by refinancing?

Potentially, a lot!

That’s because lenders are still saving their best deals for new customers.

The average rate on established loans is currently 6.20%. But if you’re a new customer, you’re more likely to pay an average rate of 5.99%.

That’s an instant saving of 0.21% interest. Think of it as reversing almost one official rate hike.

So what does that rate difference mean for your hip pocket?

Right now, the average loan being refinanced is worth $526,093. On that balance, a 0.21% rate saving could slash more than $70 off each monthly repayment, which equates to $840 in the first year alone, assuming a 30-year loan term.

Is refinancing right for you?

If you’re starting to feel the interest rate squeeze, give us a call today to discuss your refinancing options.

We’ll help you work out if refinancing is the right step for you and how much you could save by switching to a new loan and lender.
