sure has come a long way in just six decades.

It was in 1959 that we were officially named City of Gold Coast so this is our Diamond Jubilee year. And I reckon we have a lot to celebrate.

Our magnificent beaches, World Surfing Reserves and fabulous hinterland rainforest attract visitors from all around the world. But we offer so much more these days to both residents and visitors.

Our public open spaces like the magnificent Broadwater Parklands are a real pleasure to enjoy

Today, Gold Coast has three university campuses, 200 accredited education providers and a thriving Health & Knowledge Precinct attracting the best and brightest minds to live here, expanding our new jobs growth potential.

The new Gold Coast University Hospital and a rapidly growing array of specialist medical services and health providers all offer us a safer and better way of life.

We have a lot to be proud of and a lot to be grateful for. We are a city on the move. We are a city that’s Way Ahead – and we’re going to stay that way. A

and they allow us to live an active and healthy lifestyle that is second to none.

Our cultural life has also come alive with festivals like Blues on Broadbeach, Bleach*, Cooly Rocks On and many others. The Home Of The Arts offers a new outdoor stage catering for audiences of up to 5,000 with construction now well underway on our new City Gallery that will be the largest regional gallery in the nation.

Getting around is getting easier as our light rail network attracts ever more passengers and continues to be expanded. Gold Coast Airport now welcomes more than 1 million international visitors and allows us to travel to all parts of the world from our own doorstep.

LADY ELLIOT ISLAND Home of the Manta Ray

LADY ELLIOT IS A CORAL CAY LOCATED ON THE SOUTHERN TIP OF AUSTRALIA’S ICONIC GREAT BARRIER REEF, 80KMS NORTH-EAST OF BUNDABERG, NESTLED BETWEEN FRASER ISLAND AND LADY MUSGRAVE ISLAND.

T

he Island is situated within a highly protected ’Green Zone’ of the Marine National Park and is a sanctuary for over 1,200 species of marine life. Lady Elliot Island is regarded as one of the best snorkelling and diving locations on the Great Barrier Reef and is renowned for its healthy coral reef and abundance of turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and the entire cast of Finding Nemo. Guests can snorkel straight off the beach and they don’t have to worry about stingers.

There is so much to discover on Lady Elliot Island and there are plenty of complimentary activities on offer to help guests learn more about the Island and it’s unique history, flora, fauna and incredible marine life. Lady Elliot Island is one of the most significant seabird breeding sites on the Great Barrier Reef and large numbers of seabirds frequent the island between October and April each year.

Green and Loggerhead turtles nest on Lady Elliot Island from November to March and hatchlings emerge between February and April. The peak Manta Ray season is May to August and Humpback whales migrate past the island from June to October.

The unpretentious 43 room Eco Resort on Lady Elliot Island strives to provide guests with a genuine eco-tourism experience.

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort offers a range of comfortable accommodation options, with each unit, tent and cabin designed to minimise impact on the Island while enriching guest’s experience of the seasonal wildlife. The main goal is to provide guests with life changing moments and world class experiences through natural encounters both above and below the water.

The PADI Dive Shop offers courses to cater to all levels of experience and a full range of scuba equipment is available for hire.

Operating an island resort 80km out to sea presents a multitude of challenges on a daily basis. Managing Director Peter Gash and his passionate team have introduced a range of innovative and sustainable environmental practices to ensure that the Island and its surrounding reef area remain in pristine condition.

The island generates its own power, desalinates seawater for drinking purposes, maintains a wastewater treatment plant and recycles the majority of its rubbish. The Resort also has a very impressive solar array and the goal is to run the resort on 100% renewable energy by 2020.

You can enjoy a day-trip or stay for a few days to explore this incredible marine eco-system.

Scenic flights to Lady Elliot Island depart daily from the Gold Coast, Brisbane (Redcliffe), Hervey Bay/Fraser Coast or Bundaberg.

million reasonswhy you should go local

A prominent Gold Coast property family has now donated $1 million to help surf life savers in the city.

“Keeping the community and its children safe is an integral part of what the clubs do,’’ said Mr Henderson.

The Henderson family, which has owned John Henderson Professionals Mermaid Beach, since 1973, has donated the money to Mermaid Beach AEME Surf Life Saving Club, Nobby Beach Surf Life Saving Club and Miami Beach Surf Life Saving Club over the past 20 years.

“Unfortunately, my brother Luke and I cannot spare the time to physically help the clubs because we are running the business seven days a week, so instead we make regular financial contributions, just like Dad did.”

Company principal Andrew Henderson, who is also the Gold Coast Zone Chairman for the REIQ, says the family contributes money to the surf clubs every year in a tradition going back to when his father John ran the company.

“Dad really saw the value of the clubs to the community when myself and my brother Luke joined the Nobby Beach Surf Club as nippers in 1982,” said Mr Henderson.

“Our beaches are the number one reason people live here and visit the region.

“The clubs help keep the community, its children and our visitors safe. They also provide a hub for the community to come together.

“When Dad discovered in the late 80’s that a club was struggling to survive, he started putting his hand into his own pockets to help them out.”

John Henderson Professionals Mermaid Beach has largely been a major sponsor for Nobby Beach, Mermaid Beach and Miami Beach surf clubs ever since.

Mr Henderson said the $1 million had come directly from the Henderson family’s pockets.

“On top of that, many of our 28 employees volunteer to help organise fundraising events for the clubs including Mermaid Beach Surf Club’s annual race day,” he said.

Mr Henderson said his family’s efforts meant the three clubs were financially stronger and the beaches were safer.

“Our donations have covered the cost of beach vehicles, patrol towers, equipment trailers, first aid room supplies, tents, surf skis, rescue boards, nipper boards and clothing.

Mr Henderson said he believed more business owners should contribute money to community groups such as the life saving clubs.

“We believe in giving back to the community that has helped our business to prosper over the past 46 years and I honestly believe that more Gold Coast businesses should give back to the community that supports them.”

Andrew Henderson, who took over as agency principal in 2007 when his father John retired, continued the tradition.

In 2019, John Henderson Real Estate celebrates $1 million total donations!

Lifesavers enjoy success at the races The crew from the Mermaid Beach Surf Life Saving Club are celebrating after a big day at the races delivered the club a windfall of almost $20,000.

Luke Henderson, who is a director of the Gold Coast Turf Club and a major sponsor of the surf club through his family business John Henderson Professionals Mermaid Beach, said more than 300 people turned up in their finery for the annual fund-raising race day.

He said the annual race day had become a must-attend event for many members of the Mermaid Beach community and the event had now contributed more than $140,000 to the surf club in its short history.

“The surf club’s annual race day has been building in popularity over the past three years and we had to move the event to the turf club’s new event centre because it had outgrown the Dome,’’ he said.

“To have more than 300 people turn up to support the club shows how important it is the community and it is fantastic that they were able to raise so much.

“The money raise will help provide better equipment to help protect residents and local alike and to provide more activities for the community to enjoy.”
