GREAT BARRIER REEF

Words from the Principal, Ali Mian

We are quickly approaching the end of the year and what a year it’s been! The Ray White Mian Group have seen unprecedented success this year, particularly with our Auctions. Our Group’s auction clearance rate has been over 80%, and our recent auctions at the Sheraton Mirage saw many properties sell under the hammer. However, Spring is always a popular time to sell! Hence why we have two upcoming Spring Auctions at the Sheraton Mirage on Monday, 26th September and Monday, 31st October both starting from 5pm.

Update on the property market

Recently, we have seen house prices plateauing, however demand remains very strong across the Gold Coast. Indeed, properties are selling quickly, with the influx of both interstate and international enquiries.

The Gold Coast also continues to experience a strong population growth, with the upcoming 2032 Olympic Games drawing increasing traction. People can’t help but flock to the Gold Coast, for its warm, sunny weather and beachy coastline, with summer closely looming. I only anticipate that this growth will increase exponentially, as preparation efforts continue for 2032 Olympics and the new light rail system is built.

There is no better time to sell or to buy and I urge you to reach out to one of our many, Elite and experienced sales experts. I can assure you that all your property needs will be managed with confidence, as we know the market thoroughly. Our dedication to our clients is why we are ranked within the Top 3 Ray White Group offices in all of Queensland.

With office locations in Runaway Bay, Arundel, Pacific Pines, Paradise Point and Sovereign Islands, our Group is the largest Group in the Northern Gold Coast. We look forward to assisting you with all your property needs, whether it be buying, selling, or renting.

Update on Raywhite Mian Group

You might have noticed that our Runaway Bay office has been closed for some time. It is the final office to transform with our Groups expansion, and completion is estimated for the first week of October!

This renovation will bring a stylish, brand-new fit out, increased office space and a better working environment. It will equip our sales team to deliver better results for our clients; we will also have a dedicated in-house auction room, training room and our own in-house tailored marketing department.

I also want to take a moment to thank all our valued clients and our community business partners who have aided in the production of this magazine.

Right now, there’s a lot of public commentary surrounding the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.

To put the record straight – our Council supports the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics for the South East Queensland region, but our support is built around ensuring we maximise any legacy outcomes from the 21-day event. Global events like this come and go – we want legacy outcomes for generations ahead.

To me, legacy outcomes must be improved roads, improved public transport, improved airport links, improved community pride including volunteering, improved public safety programs and improved sporting infrastructure.

Ratepayers rightly are focusing on today, not a decade ahead so our Council must work on the immediate issues facing every Gold Coaster.

That is – traffic, improved public transport, better cycleways for our residents, new community venues and protecting our green space.

These are the issues that matter to everyday Gold Coasters and this is where we are focusing our $1.7 billion annual budget.

The recent City Budget puts a huge focus on safety, transport and new community venues. These include more CCTV cameras, a rebuilt Palm Beach Aquatic Centre, new Albert Waterways Centre at Broadbeach and a trial of 100 new daily bus services all over the northern Gold Coast.

I don’t want residents to think we have taken our ‘eyes off the ball’ when it comes to the issues that matter. The Olympics is a huge coup, but I know locals want us to stick to what really matters right now – and that’s what we are doing.

Spring Selling Guide

The season of new beginnings has officially sprung!

We have had a bumper start to the Spring Season with record-breaking sales and a high number of qualified buyers. Ray White Mian Group’s award winning sales and property management team have been servicing your local community for over 2 decades and Spring has always proven to achieve the best results.

With a proven track record of exceptional and consistent sales, Ray White Mian Group make this possible with five centrally located offices, and over 65 Real Estate Enthusiasts working together to provide the best possible service. We also have competitive, tailored marketing and advertising options along with in-house finance solutions and an award winning auctioneer.

The Gold Coast still has very strong migration numbers to our city and the Gold Coast is set to be one of the best performing markets this Spring. The sixth-largest city in Australia – and the largest non-capital city – the Gold Coast is home to more than 700,000 people and is on track to hit the million mark by the next decade. It is a fast-growing economy with over $20 billion in infrastructure and investment, planned ahead of the 2032 Olympics – with some of these events being held on the Gold Coast – there is strong optimism for the local housing market.

Historically over 3 decades spring has always been one of the busiest times to sell on the Gold Coast. Homeowners and purchasers are enthused with Spring spirit to buy and sell well and truly before Christmas. The incentive is to make a move just in time to celebrate Christmas and the New Year in their new homes.

When selling your home you want top dollar so it’s important to take the time to make sure your house is well presented. If your home is immaculate, it may be as simple as a tidy up and clean, but for many you may need to make a few changes to get the house ready and have it well presented but still have character to showcase its liveabilty and lifestyle. It is said that the first few seconds are vital when someone is looking at your home.

HERE ARE SOME TOP TIPS TO GET YOUR HOME READY FOR SALE

Photos should be enticing

Ensure the photos in the agents window and on the internet are showcasing your home well. Most buyers start their journey of looking for a new home online so ensure that your home is presentable before the photos are taken.

Curb appeal

Ensure the gardens look neat and tidy, remove weeds, and make sure the grass is mowed. It’s a great idea to spend a few dollars into some bright flower or pot plants to help improve the look of a bland garden bed.

Fix any damage to your home

Fix holes in walls, broken appliances. Find a local handy man in your area to help with this. Ask the advice of your real estate agent before making major changes, such as painting the house or replacing carpets as the expense may not affect the sale price.

Minimise furniture

Having too much furniture in a room will make it feel smaller than it is. If you are unable to remove the furniture to help make the room look more spacious then place the furniture in the garage or better still hire a storage shed.

Declutter

This enables the prospective buyer to step back and imagine themselves in the home and not be distracted from your items. Put the clutter in the garage, it’s better to have a tidy living room than a tidy garage, the living room will sell

the home more than the garage. Clean everything off the benchtops to help make the kitchen look spacious. Remove all ornaments off surfaces and keep just one item on each. Whilst it does give a very minimal look it makes the room look more appealing. Too many pictures on the wall can clutter a space making the room feel smaller

Cleanliness

You want to show your house at its best, clean the floors, pick up any mess, wipe benches etc. But also ensure the bathrooms are tidy, no toothpaste in the sink, hair over the vanity, lotions in cabinets etc. Wash windows & dust blinds, dust skirting boards & clean light switches, walls and the oven. Have carpets steam cleaned and clean tiled areas.

The house needs to be fresh and inviting, it’s very important to do your best to eliminate any odours from pets or cigarettes.

Decor

Place some nice cushions and throws in living areas and bedrooms. Flowers and greenery are a nice touch to brighten up any room within the home.

Spring is the best time to take advantage of the market and if you are considering selling or would like an obligation free market appraisal, please feel free to get in contact anytime and you will be rewarded with professionalism and commitment to achieve the best result for your home.

TIME FLIES WHEN YOU’RE HAVING FUN! DATES ANNOUNCED FOR FIRST PACIFIC AIRSHOW GOLD COAST

MAJOR TOURISM BOOST SET TO TAKE OFF! TOURISM BOOKINGS ARE SET TO SOAR WITH DATES FOR THE INAUGURAL PACIFIC AIRSHOW GOLD COAST REVEALED.

The spectacular three-day event will take off over Surfers Paradise in exactly 12 months’ time – from 18 to 20 August 2023.

Event organiser Kevin Elliott, CEO of Code Four, and owner of the famous Pacific Airshow Huntington Beach in California, said, “Since launching our expansion to Australia in April, we have been inundated with calls and emails from people across the globe desperate for us to let them in on the secret.

“Now the suspense is over – it’s time to book your holidays and register your interest to attend Pacific Airshow Gold Coast. There will be hospitality options for everyone – ranging from show-centre General Admission on the beach to ‘money can’t buy’ VIP experiences, corporate chalets, private cabanas and more! The hospitality build-out on the beach is going to be truly extraordinary and when combined with our highly curated cuisine offerings – we’re taking hospitality on the beach to a whole new level!”

Elliott said Pacific Airshow Gold Coast would be the greatest Airshow ever seen in Australia.

“Get ready for Pacific Airshow Gold Coast to change the face of winter tourism forever at Australia’s favourite holiday destination,” he said.

“I want the months to fly by so we can enjoy the excitement together in Surfers Paradise.”

Pacific Airshow Gold Coast spectators are set to be thrilled by world-class aerobatics and jets with adrenaline-pumping speed and thunderous power as well as the latest in Urban Air Mobility technology.

“Pacific Airshow Gold Coast is so much more than what happens in the air with something for everyone throughout the event precinct stretching for several kilometres along the esplanade. From street vendors, STEM exhibitions, art, entertainment and more, you can expect the whole of Surfers Paradise, land, sea and sky to be transformed into the world’s biggest stage,” said Elliott.

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said: “It’s official – lock in August 2023 for the greatest airshow Australia has ever seen. Diversifying our major events calendar is about attracting new visitors to our city and boosting bed nights. This global event will put our city on the world stage.’’

Major Events Gold Coast CEO Jan McCormick said: “The Pacific Airshow Gold Coast will be a gamechanger for our city and I’ve no doubt that now the 2023 dates are announced, the media and marketing exposure across Australia is sure to result in strong accommodation bookings giving our tourism sector a welcome boost though the traditionally quieter August period. Importantly, hosting this spectacular airshow well and truly cements our city’s reputation as a worldclass events destination.”

Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the Pacific Airshow would land a significant place on the It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar.

“We know the high-altitude spectacle of air shows of this calibre attract huge numbers of domestic visitors in the United States,” Mr Hinchliffe said.

“That’s why the Queensland Government is backing the Pacific Airshow’s Gold Coast debut. “When interstate and Queensland visitors land on the Gold Coast for big events, they support local jobs and the region’s tourism economy. Significant events like Pacific Airshow Gold Coast are also a perfect opportunity to book an extended stay to explore more of Australia’s favourite holiday destination.”

Elliott said Pacific Airshow Huntington Beach, which attracts 3 million visitors each year, has become a national sensation in the United States.

“We wanted to replicate our flagship event at another iconic destination and that journey has led us to one of the most idyllic beaches in the world – the Gold Coast. We are bringing allies together and cementing old and new partnerships through soft diplomacy,” he said.

“We are excited to be working closely with the Australian Defence Force, especially as the inaugural Pacific Airshow Gold Coast will be honouring and recognising Australian Vietnam Veterans’ Day on 18 August 2023, and marking the important date with a tribute to those who have served.”

Corporate hospitality will be released to the public on a first-come first-served basis beginning 1 November with individual and VIP ticket options to follow. To register your interest to attend Pacific Airshow please visit pacificairshow.com.

ABOUT PACIFIC AIRSHOW

In 2021, Pacific Airshow Huntington Beach was seen by more than 3 million people on the ground and has become California’s cornerstone autumn event.

Last year the event became the first Airshow to be streamed live on Hulu, the United States most popular streaming service owned by Disney and reached millions of viewers.

The 2019 Airshow contributed more than US$3.4 million in tax revenue to the City of Huntington Beach alone, with US$68 million in direct spending and an overall economic impact of more than US$105 million to the host city, according to an independent report prepared by Destination Analysts.

Pacific Airshow Gold Coast is expected to generate comparable results in direct spending and economic benefit for the Gold Coast, making it one of the nation’s biggest entertainment and lifestyle events.

The Airshow is the result of more than three year’s planning by Code Four who have worked closely with the Australian Government, City of Gold Coast, Major Events Gold Coast, Tourism and Events Queensland and Australian Defence Force stakeholders to bring this spectacular event to Australia.

Cosmetic Injectables

Cosmetic injections, also known as dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments are used to smooth lines and wrinkles as well as add volume to lips and cheeks.

Anti-wrinkle is a muscle relaxant. It is injected into select facial muscles to relax and put them to sleep allowing the skin on top to also relax and smooth. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and prevents more from forming.

Dermal filler plumps the skin. It is a naturally occurring hydrating sugar gel that is injected into the skin to lift, plump, contour, soften lines and add volume.

Anti-wrinkle and dermal filler work differently and are often used together as they target different aging concerns. This helps obtain fresh, natural and long-lasting results for the whole face.

ARE YOU READY GOLD COAST? AUSTRALIA’S ANSWER TO MICHAEL BALL & ALFIE BOE! AS PART OF SENIORS MONTH TENORLICIOUS “TENORUS” ARE BACK AT HELENSVALE CULTURAL CENTRE ON FRIDAY 28TH OCTOBER FOR 2 SHOWS

Two of Australia’s most talented tenors are taking to the stage to perform a stunning repertoire of rock hits, light opera, swing and much loved Broadway classics.

Roger Davy , former member of the acclaimed Ten Tenors, has teamed up with musical theatre leading man Adam Bartlett to create TenorUS, playing at Helensvale Cultural Centre two shows 2:00 & 7:00pm

Roger said the idea for TenorUS was born out of a chance meeting with Adam after seeing him star in a community production of Les Miserables.

“I was looking at creating a two tenors show where we perform popular rock tunes but put a classical spin on it,” Roger said.

“Adam was performing the lead role of Jean Valjean. I was so impressed. I gave him my business card and we arranged to meet for a coffee to discuss an idea. The rest, as they say, is history.”

Roger is the manager of Vavachi Entertainment, a company that produces musical experiences for corporate and private functions. He has performed with Opera Australia, and is well-known for his tributes to Phantom of the Opera and Pavarotti.

Adam has starred in South Pacific, The Merry Widow and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. His musical theatre background and Roger’s experience in opera and classical music makes for a winning combination, with TenorUS performing for over two years to sell-out audiences.

This years concerts will feature some of their most requested songs from their EP along with some new songs, including crowd favourites by Andrea Boccelli, Josh Groban, and Queen; this show will also pay tribute to 60s icon Tom Jones and Grammy award-winning Bond themes with songs by Diva's Shirley Bassey and the one and only Adele plus many more...

“We love performing Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli songs where they have popularised songs and arranged it for classical vocal style,” Roger said.

“We also perform Broadway classics from Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables.”

TenorUS is set to dazzle the audience at the Gold Coast

“I have performed on many occasions now,” Roger said. “I thought it would suit our demographic and also because we appeal to a small intimate audience, the size of the venue was perfect.

“The show is all about engagement and fun. There’s lots of costume changes as well, so we get our audience singing along.”
