Welcome

Phew. Hang on to your hats Gold Coast. There’s a lot happening right now. It’s incredible. The excitement is palpable.

Welcome to Niche - Property and Lifestyle Magazine, which is distributed free to residents of the Gold Coast suburbs of Mermaid Beach, Mermaid Waters and Miami. We are very proud to call the Gold Coast home. I love living here.

I have travelled the world and can honestly say there is nowhere I would rather live.

The Gold Coast is a regional city that is making waves internationally. The Gold Coast is the first regional city to ever host the Commonwealth Games. We play host to international movie stars shooting big budget movies (the Games venue for boxing is to be a new sound stage) and we play host to hundreds of thousands of international visitors every year. We have beautiful beaches, incredible forests in the Hinterland, amazing architecture and a lifestyle that can’t be beaten.

And the infrastructure that was created to support the Games will help the city thrive for years to come. It will also help inspire Gold Coasters to be the best they can be. For example, for those who ADVERTISING ENQUIRIES Ben Ryan m: 0432 545 995 e: ben@advcollab.com.au

are inspired by the performances of the amazing athletes at the Commonwealth Games will be able to test themselves in May at the Gold Coast Running Festival and back up again at the end of June for the Gold Coast Marathon.

There is also the plan for Gold Coasters to be able to travel by tram between Burleigh and Helensvale. If stage three of the Light Rail project goes ahead, it will create a huge range of opportunities for residents and businesses in our patch of the Gold Coast.

Yes, it is a very exciting time to be a Gold Coast resident. Enjoy it.

Henderson appointed REIQ Zone Chairman

Mr Henderson is one of 16 chairs appointed state-wide by the REIQ, which is the state’s peak professional association.

His role will be to represent the organisation at a Gold Coast level and to be the voice of the REIQ in the local community.

Mr Henderson said he was honoured to be appointed to the position and he was looking forward to the challenge.

“I love the real estate industry. I guess you could say property is in my blood because I grew up with both of my parents running our family agency and now my brother Luke and I run the business,’’ he said.

“I am also a firm believer in giving back to the community and serving with the REIQ is one way I can give back to the industry that I am so passionate about.”

Mr Henderson, who is the principal at John Henderson Professionals Mermaid Beach, also serves as Director on the board of the Professionals Real Estate Group.

Why choose ose an

REIQ

Accredited Agency?

More than 4000 real estate agencies and agents across the State are members of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ).

At the heart of REIQ accreditation is the REIQ Standards of Business Practice and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training, which provides the industry with education and support to uphold these standards.

The REIQ s standards are regularly revised to provide a greater level of consumer protection and improved agency to agency behaviour. And they are in addition to the statutory Codes of Conduct contained in the Property Agents Occupations Act. So why choose an REIQ accredited agency to sell or manage your property. REIQ Accredited Agencies are leaders in the real estate profession because: 1. The Agency s Principal/ icensee in charge must maintain their professional knowledge via the REIQ s annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program. Agencies that are not members of the REIQ don t have to update their knowledge of new laws.

2. REIQ Accredited Agencies have access to the latest information, training and tools to ensure they remain at the forefront of the profession.

3. REIQ Accredited Agencies are required to comply with the REIQ Standards of Business Practice.

These Standards establish ethical conduct requirements for member to member conduct and dealings with the public. Other agencies are not required to abide by these standards.

4. Proof of current Professional Indemnity Insurance is compulsory for REIQ Accredited Agencies, so you can have peace of mind that there s a safety net in the event of une pected developments.

Other agencies may not be insured.

5. REIQ Accredited Agencies have access to an added level of security and support via the REIQ s advice lines if anything goes wrong. As their client, you can be assured that your REIQ Accredited Agency is backed up by the REIQ s wealth of knowledge and e perience.

AMBITIOUS IN SPORT IN THE SHADOW OF THE MASSIVE $1.5 BILLION CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM FOR THE 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES, THE GOLD COAST’S LARGEST UNIVERSITIES HAVE BEEN UNDERGOING A DEVELOPMENT BOOM OF THEIR OWN.

president John Bertrand opened the Bond Sports Centre, while earlier this year Griffith University officially launched its new FINA-accredited Aquatic Centre.

These were the latest multimillion-dollar investments by Gold Coast universities in sport, which is widely recognised as enhancing student outcomes.

Clearly, it was also a message that sport in education has just become serious business on the Gold Coast.

As a Commonwealth Games city, it’s no surprise that the Gold Coast’s three universities – Griffith, Bond and Southern Cross – are all members of the Elite Athlete Friendly University program.

The program was established by

the Australian Institute of Sport to support elite athletes who choose to study by accommodating the flexibility they need to perform at their best.

employers want in graduates,” Mr Nucifora says.

However, it’s since become apparent that sport offers opportunities for a broader student cohort than just top athletes.

The momentum has been building at Bond since 2012, under the stewardship of sport-loving Vice Chancellor Professor Tim Brailsford who saw great value in establishing the Bond Institute of Health and Sport off campus at Robina.

As executive director of sport, Garry Nucifora has been leading Bond University’s charge to elevate sport as a strategic pillar for the university.

The facility, which has a heavy focus on research and sports science, also includes the award-winning High-Performance Training Centre.

It’s sometimes referred to as ‘edusport’, where participation in sport at all levels has been proven to improve the employability of students.

This is a teaching and training hub for national and international athletes and sports bodies, including the Wallabies and Adelaide Crows.

“That’s because the values, attitudes and beliefs of sports align very well with the same values attitudes and beliefs that

This was another significant piece in the sporting puzzle that began coming together in earnest after the Gold Coast

“For obvious reasons, new infrastructure is attracting a large number of sporting events, teams and sporting organisations to the Gold Coast – which can only benefit local industries like education, sport and tourism,” says Sports Super Centre director Brendan Flynn. secured the rights to the Commonwealth Games back in 2009.

It could be said that the Games, and the new sporting infrastructure and upgrades accompanying the event, have done more to heighten awareness of the strength of the region’s sporting credentials than at any other time.

The enhancement of training facilities has led to more athletes relocating to the region, with many combining university studies with training.

This, along with the growth of sporting scholarships, saw Griffith University field the largest cohort of students of any Australian university to compete at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

“The Gold Coast is now literally a breeding ground for elite athletes

across a number of different sports, which is great to see,” says Duncan Free, director of Griffith Sports College at Griffith University.

The Sports Super Centre at Runaway Bay is playing its part in that ‘edusport’ narrative following a $5 million upgrade.

Originally established as a training venue for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, it is now an official training venue for GC2018.

“The GC2018 upgrades to the Sports Super Centre have reinvigorated our ability to provide local, national and international athletes and students with worldclass facilities.”

Mr Flynn is forecasting significant legacy benefits to the education sector from this investment well after the Games are done.

wearegoldcoast.com.au

Most potent is the ongoing development of student and athlete pathways into the sporting industry.

“We work with a number of educational institutions on the Gold Coast by educating students through the medium of sport,” he says.

“Post GC2018, our centre will continue to support grassroots to high performance sport for camps, training and events.”

For Mr Nucifora, sport is a natural winning strategy for the education sector. He essentially sees sports at all levels as a ‘good news story’ that will continue to underpin the broader sporting phenomenon in education on the Gold Coast.

“It’s now about telling our story to the world,” he says.

TOP BUSHWALKING TRAILS ON THE GOLD COAST WALKING SHOULD BE JILL CALLCOTT’S MIDDLE NAME BECAUSE SHE LIVES AND BREATHES IT.

She moved to the Gold Coast from the UK when she was 12 and attended Burleigh Heads State School back when it was okay to go school barefoot. Her love of walking grew over the years but deepened as her work took her overseas and she frequently she ate takeaway meals late at night. She was always looking for ways to walk it off and over the years noticed many people taking their morning or afternoon walk through corridors of hotels.

Ms Callcott wanted locals and visitors to the Gold Coast to be able to explore the city on foot so she started a website, Walking The Gold Coast, where she records her walking activity and provides maps, photos and a running commentary of her adventures.

“It is truly only by walking an area that you can get the essence of it, and compared to other parts of the world this is still a very safe area to enjoy nature through walking. The reality is there are some great bushwalks right here on the Gold Coast where you can soak up the tranquility of the bush and hear and see wildlife,” she said.

“You don’t have to travel to the hinterland to enjoy it; most can be accessed by public transport and a short walk. In Burleigh alone you can criss cross from Burleigh Headland to Burleigh Ridge and on to Tallebudgera Conservation Park and back to Burleigh Village for lunch across 26km including back tracking, all while never being too far from a coffee.”

Ms Callcott said Federation Walk was another example of a fabulous track where walkers travelled more than 8kms to the Seaway and back through bushland. The popular walk gave walkers the chance to soak up the local birdlife and stand on sand dunes while looking at a deserted and windswept beach.

“Scanning the surround you’ll see the high rises of Surfers Paradise and behind the tops of high rises in Main Beach. After your bushwalk, take yourself off to Tedder Avenue for a refresh and relax. One thing we should remember is that bush walking quite often involves urban walking to, and this too can be rewarding, just getting out into another area away from your patch is good for you,” she said.

TOP 5 SHORT BUSHWALKING TRAILS ON THE GOLD COAST AS PICKED BY JILL.

TOP 5 LONG BUSHWALKING TRAILS ON THE GOLD COAST AS PICKED BY JILL

1. TALLEBUDGERA CONSERVATION PARK On the Burleigh Heads side you can view the pristine waters of Tallebudgera Creek; it’s also very quiet and full of birdlife particularly in the early morning.

1. COUGAL HIKING TRAIL (10KM) Mount Cougal borders Qld and NSW and the only guide is the barbed wire fence that separates the states. The terrain is diverse, a hiking pole is recommended and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Check with National Parks before embarking on this trail because storms can impact on the area and make sure the forecast is for a clear day.

2. PALM BEACH PARKLANDS There are two walks here, the first is Beree Badalla Boardwalk along Currumbin Creek and it’s best to do this during high tide to get the feeling you are walking on water. The next is Tarrabora Reserve; a small pocket of bushland right in the middle of the Gold Coast, wedged between the Gold Coast Highway and Currumbin Estuary at Palm Beach.

3. COOMBABAH LAKELANDS – SHELTER ROAD Insect repellent is a must and there is a short bushwalk before the boardwalk; which is a bright burnt orange colour and such a contrast to the surrounding mangroves. At the end of the boardwalk is a bird hide and the only sound is water lapping against the timber piers.

4. COUGAL CASCADES – CURRUMBIN VALLEY This is part of the Gold Coast Hinterland just a few kilometres up Currumbin Creek Road. A scenic winding road full of photo opportunities which finishes at the Springbrook National Park. The Mount Cougal Section a short bushwalk with cascading waterfalls and cool mountain air, a hidden gem that few Gold Coasters visit.

5. BURLEIGH HEADLAND – UPPER OR LOWER TRACK A short climb to Tumgun Lookout is worth the effort, views of the southern Gold Coast as far as the eye can see and the lookout on the north side is equally picturesque. The headland is also a refuge and feeding area for a variety of migrating birds, so keep an eye out for unique birdlife along the walking tracks.

2. FEDERATION WALK (7KM) Federation (Bush) Walk features headlands and windswept dunes, winding trails through groves of Macaranga trees and She-Oaks. The trail ends directly opposite south Stradbrook Island, which is only a short distance across the Seaway.

3. SOUTH STRADBROKE ISLAND You can walk right around South Stradbroke Island and while you’re totally isolated you’re only minutes from a refreshing beverage. Downside is the lack of transport access. The Island is 21km in length and 2.5km wide.

4. COOMBABAH LAKELANDS Only a stone’s throw from Harbour Town Shopping Centre, Coombabah Lakelands track is full of wildlife, bush and wetlands. Kangaroos are prolific, swamp wallabies are around and there are plenty of koalas to see. With over 1000 hectares of land you can choose how far to hike. It has an amazing diversity of bird and plant life and is arguably the best place to view koalaa and kangaroos in the region.

5. NERANG STATE FOREST Nerang National Park and Nerang State Forest is 12km from Surfers Paradise, on the north-west outskirts of Nerang. Here you can explore dry rainforest and open eucalypt forests on a scenic bushwalk, horse ride, or you can cycle along one of the designated mountain-bike tracks. There are various tracks and distances to choose from.

Restructuring Property to Retire¬Right Putting property in our personal names to speed up the process with no real consideration of other structures is common.

The impact of this decision is significant and should be discussed with an¬accountant who understands and can explain the impact.

Why don’t we seek additional advice when purchasing a property? Quite simply, cost. We outlay money on stamp duty, bank fees, conveyancing, building inspections and agent fees. Why would you need advice?

Let’s consider our clients, Harry and Betty. They are property lovers and are two of the most emotional investors we have met, approaching every decision with caution after previously receiving bad advice.

The outcome for Harry and Betty focuses on cash flow, structure/strategy and contingency,¬with a goal to retire¬on $120,000 pa so they can spend time with their family.

Considering the cash flow and structure of their properties, we calculated it was worth paying stamp duty to transfer the properties to another structure. They are now protected in one of the most secure environments. Achieving asset protection is a benefit, however the tax savings are greater.

On the current structure of the properties, there was not enough to retire on by their own standards.

Their tax savings now equate to $30,000 per year in the first 10 years and then over the following 10 years, $50,000 per year¬in tax is saved.

Harry and Betty plan to be in retirement for a long while, and over $2¬million in tax savings will remain with the family instead of being paid to the ATO. With such significant savings from one decision, how will you consider your structure?

SMOOTH SAILING F O R G O L D C O A S T S U P E RYA C H T F U T U R E THE DECLARATION OF SOUTHPORT AS A CUSTOMS CLEARANCE PORT AND A $3 MILLION DREDGING PROGRAM HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR A MASSIVE SURGE IN SUPERYACHTS VISITING THE GOLD COAST.

Superyacht Australia predicts that by 2021 South East Queensland will have the largest superyacht industry in Australia, worth $1.128 billion annually.

Better still, the boom will create an estimated 7,947 jobs.

With more than 57 kilometres of coastline, the smooth Broadwater and 260 kilometres of navigable waterways, the Gold Coast has often been referred to, perhaps somewhat optimistically, as the Venice of Australia.

The truth is the Gold Coast has far better boating than the romantic Italian city could ever hope for and while Venice may be built on the water, the Coast is built on boats, with superyachts now joining the mix.

The new Border Force clearance facilities will be at the Southport Yacht Club which can berth boats up to 74 metres in length.

“The new port is revolutionising the marine sector and will mean foreign superyachts and other vessels will now be able to sail directly into the Gold Coast Seaway for Customs clearance,” he says.

“Previously the closest Customs clearance was in Brisbane, which meant we often missed out on a lot of business.”

“We are confident that our new facility will attract larger foreign vessels to the Gold Coast to enter Australia.”

The $3 million dredging program will see 14 kilometres of the Broadwater and Coomera River deepened to allow the large vessels up river to undergo refits and maintenance work at the Gold Coast Marine Precinct, which is home to internationally known boat builders such as Riviera and Maritimo.

It is anticipated that once the dredging is finished, the river will have a depth of 3.5 metres allowing superyachts to navigate up to the marine precinct.

The club already has 10 berths for these floating palaces, just 15 minutes sailing from the Seaway entrance and plans on the drawing board for a further four berths to cope with the expected increase in demand.

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate says the city was investing in the necessary infrastructure to meet the predicted growth.

Club General Manager Brett James says the new Customs clearance point was invaluable and a huge win for the industry.

“The City of Gold Coast is actively supporting the local marine sector to best capture economic growth opportunities and position the city

as the default superyacht location in Australia,” he says.

“With a new Customs clearance port in Southport and a dredging plan that will deepen the Coomera River, we will be able to attract even more international superyachts and other vessels to our beautiful waterways.”

“Investing in our marine industry will provide long-term economic benefits to the city and create future jobs, putting the Gold Coast way ahead.”

There are more than 40,000 registered watercraft in the city, which boasts the highest mixed use of watercraft of any Queensland centre and boating is such a huge part of the Gold Coast that 250 hectares of land alongside the Coomera River to the city’s north was dedicated to the marine industry through a special Act of State Parliament.

The Gold Coast Marine Precinct is the major marine industry area dedicated to manufacturing, servicing, repairs and refits of recreational and commercial vessels.

The precinct area holds the heaviest concentration of boat builders and marine-based industries in Australia – about 80 per cent of all boats built in the country.

REVEALING INTERVIEW WITH

PAU L E V E R E S T A B O U T U N I T A N D H I S N E W C O M PA N I E S PA R A D E R A N D E V R S T

As a child, motorcycles were my OBSESSION & they still are. I remember my Dad taking my younger brother and I to watch our first supercross race in Brisbane. I recall hearing the pyrotechnics going off, the smell of burning petrol in the air and the bright, glowing laser show emanating from within the packed stadium. Chills were going up my spine like electricity. But as my Dad walked back towards us from the ticket booth I noticed his head was down as he trudged along. I'll never forget his words, - 'sorry we can't afford to buy tickets' we were completely shattered and in tears as we drove out of the packed car park.

I think that day affected my Dad too - A year later he bought me a BRAND NEW gleaming Yamaha YZ80. It was the GREATEST day of my life!

Art was my 2nd passion. I was captivated by the pro's bikes and clothing in the magazines, I would draw motocross designs all over my school books.

One day around 2001 whilst deciding which new Fox t-shirt to buy - I thought to myself...

'If I fuse my love of motocross and art I think I can make a better brand than this' I set about creating the star/spark plug logo.

The name Unit came to me one night while lying in bed. With savings of $600 I bought a cheap screen printing carousel. My parents loaned me the use of their garage in Benowa. After a few months I noticed Unit sales grew from 1 tee a week to 8 tees per day. That's when I realised I had created something with HUGE potential.

TIME LINE: 2002 Invested $600 into a website & 5 designs 2003 Told my boss at my day job (designing MX

magazines): "I Quit" 2005 Every Aussie Moto/bmx kid in Australia is wearing Unit and many tattooing the logo on themselves.

2006 Very Large Australian Retailers such as City Beach buy Unit Products by the PALLET. 2007 Phone is ringing off the hook with orders.

Unit overtakes Fox in sales (in Australia) by double.

2008 Unit shipping out hundreds of items per day.

Unit athletes winning world stage events.

2009 Wins Gold Coast Entrepreneur of the Year (Employing 60+ Staff) 2010 I almost die - Revived in Hospital after going too hard at Unit Christmas Party.

2011 Wins the Australian Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award (N) 2012 Opens California office as we notice Unit starts to become 'over-saturated' in Australia.

'Size is the Enemy of Cool' (Industry Proverb) 2013 Australia's worst recession since 1930 hits extremely hard just as we are expanding into USA & Europe. Billabong and Quicksilver nearly collapse.

2014 Fallout is too severe - Unit is sold off to a foreign family living on the Gold Coast. I walk away completely to start a new chapter with not much more than the shirt on my back.

2015 Launch www.EVRST.com.au a custom apparel company that helps young brands become successful. Because I've made every mistake I figured I'm qualified!

2017 Launch www.Parader.co a new brand for a totally new generation! Now growing Five times faster than Unit did What I've learned: 1) Be very careful who you trust.

2) When one door closes in life, KICK-IN another.

3) Remember those who stayed by your side.

4) Life is over very fast, so F@#king Go For It!

Choosing the right investment property “Unless you make a written offer to the sellers you will never know their answer on price.”

I m often asked by property investors hat is the right property to purchase Property investment should be considered as a long term investment and investors have to weigh up their choice between two initial, major considerations: Are you buying for capital growth Or Are you buying for income hen buying for capital growth you will often be purchasing in a more established area and potentially you will be buying a property which is not brand new. There will be also be less potential for future housing in the area. The best capital growth is not normally found in new, growing suburbs that are surrounded by other greenfield sites. Essentially it comes down to supply and demand. The fewer homes that can be built in an area, the higher the potential there is for high capital growth. Properties with higher capital growth potential will often have a lower percentage rental return but they will be popular with renters because they will be close to e isting infrastructure such as schools, shops, transport and businesses.

If you choose to buy properties offering higher rental yields, these will often be located in new suburbs with other new homes being built in the same street or around the corner. These properties are often lower priced and receive a higher percentage of rent in the beginning. owever, over time wear and tear occurs and the construction of newer homes in surrounding areas may cause tenants to relocate. Competition in these areas can be very tough and landlords are sometimes forced to offer incentives such as a week s free rent to find great tenants.

Don t get sucked in by the hunt for the ne t property hot spot . ou only have to pick up the paper or browse the internet to see the latest predictions from a flurry of so called property forecasters. ou can get 100 of these e perts in a room and you will often get 100 different answers.

CRAFT BEER MOVEMENT SWARMS THE COAST THE CRAFT BEER SCENE HAS EXPLODED ON THE GOLD COAST WITH INNOVATIVE BREWERIES CONTINUALLY POPPING UP ACROSS THE CITY.

Local business people and even world surfing champions are recognising the burgeoning craft beer market as a smart investment and they are reaping the rewards.

While this trend towards home-grown breweries is sweeping the world, the Gold Coast is establishing a reputation as a leader in the sector, with local breweries and brewers picking up national and international awards.

Here is your guide to craft breweries in and around the Gold Coast…

BALTER BREWING 14 Traders Lane, Currumbin World champion surfers Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson, along with pro surfers Bede Durbidge and Josh Kerr, are riding a wave of success after opening their own brewery.

Balter Brewing’s first beer launched in March 2016 – Balter’s XPA, an Extra Pale Ale with a fruity palate that aims to punch your taste buds into the pleasure zone, joined by several other styles over the following months.

First the beer, then the venue. The group’s upmarket industrial warehouse and tasting room with its wraparound bar and bespoke Frank and Mimi artwork took the Gold Coast by storm through social media.

The reality was even better: a vast industrial shed full of shining tanks as far as the eye can see surrounded by hand-faced brick walls and the

“It’s a given that a good beer should be enjoyable, but it should also expand a person’s world view on what a beer can be,” he says.

Co-founder Stirling Howland says the aim is to make the best beer possible.

BLACK HOPS BREWING 15 Gardenia Grove, Burleigh Heads It all started with an idea for an egg nog stout between three beer-loving mates and it resulted in the creation of Black Hops Brewing.

The trio who founded the business, Dan Norris, Michael McGovern and Eddie Oldfield, documented their progress from that first home brew to the establishment of their Burleigh Heads brewery exhaustively through blogs, podcasts and social media.

Now they have put it all together into a book, Operation Brewery, which is available online and in print and is an invaluable source of information for anyone with dreams of starting a brewery, and entrepreneurs in general.

Opening the doors of the brewery in April 2016, tours and a tasting bar operate six days per week: Monday to Friday from 10am – 6pm and Saturday

from 12noon – 4pm.

Black Hops beers are available at many venues across the coast including Ze Pickle, Cambus Wallace, Lester & Earl, Bine, Surfers Sandbar, House of Brews and The Glenelg Public House.

Burleigh Brewing

BURLEIGH BREWING CO. 2 Ern Harley Drive, Burleigh Heads Burleigh Brewing began as a love story, when in 2002 Peta Fielding persuaded her American-born master-brewer husband Brennan to leave Hawaii and return to her homeland, with the vision of founding their own brewery in Burleigh Heads.

Brennan has made beer in the US, Hawaii, Japan and Australia, consistently winning business and beer awards year after year, including wins at the World Beer Cup and the World Beer Championships.

Burleigh Brewing is an ‘old but new’ brewery. While they use traditional methods of brewing (one of their beers, the Dunkelbier, is made from a 600-year old German Monastery Yeast, and brewed in strict accordance with the ‘German Purity Law’ of 1516), they’re in new territory using cutting edge science and equipment.

OTHER BREWERIES: BEARD AND BRAU Tamborine Village, Mt Tamborine FORTITUDE BREWING COMPANY 165 Long Road, Eagle Heights PICKLED PIG BREWERY 18 Industry Drive, Tweed Heads SCENIC RIM BREWERY 898 Reckumpilla Street (Cnr Anders Rd), Mount Alford

Passionate about their beer, Burleigh Brewing takes great pride in using local ingredients and packaging products, employing 35 locals and supporting local charities.

Burleigh Brewing is now the largest Australianowned brewery in Queensland, recently moving to an expansive new premise which opened in March 2016.
