Welcome to our Spring Edition of Northshore Property and Lifestyle.

With Spring upon us, we are experiencing warmer temperatures and longer days. This is very welcome after what can only be described as a pretty trying year from a national perspective.

So much has happened throughout 2020 so far and we have been lucky on the Gold Coast to have been spared from some of the more serious medical issues other states have experienced.

From an economic standpoint, I think we can all be proud of the support shown to local business and enterprise. Even with the dramatic restrictions we encountered initially and the continuing changes to these restrictions, many businesses have been able to get through and are now improving week by week.

Our housing market has been nothing short of remarkable, with demand outstripping supply in many instances. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, our actual "value of sales" numbers of the collective offices of the Ray White Runaway Bay Group is higher than this time last year. (see page 59 for year totals). Who could have predicted that in April.

The Real Estate industry is considered an essential service and as a result adapted very quickly to changing circumstances, this has helped sellers and buyers immensely.

The property market in South East Queensland (and Australia) is affected by many factors. These can be fundamental, such as normal cyclical patterns, the broader economy of the country, international lending rates etc. This year we have experienced a more unpredictable situation, as in a global pandemic!

National outlook/information can be misleading. There have been reports of slower activity in the larger cities around our country and a drop in property values in those locations.

The Gold Coast by contrast has experienced a dramatic increase in enquiry, with one of the biggest growth sectors being Victoria and New South Wales residents wanting to purchase in Queensland. This market has always been an important factor for us, but since the Covid-19 shut downs, the enquiry level and resultant purchases from our southern neighbours is much stronger.

The other dilemma is, we have less property on the market than we did this time last year and the overall demand mixed with lower stock levels has put pressure on price.

More competition and less property for sale is a recipe for strong property sales as we head towards summer. The recently reintroduced restrictions on gatherings has not seemingly affected this, and we are short of stock to satisfy active buyers.

What's your property worth? You should know!

I have also been so impressed by our own teams. From sales, property management and administration, it has been amazing to see how they were able to change our traditional operations so quickly in order to keep providing our industry leading service.

Please contact your favorite Ray White Runaway Bay Group agent, or contact me directly and we will organise a no obligation update for you. Being aware is critical to making considered decisions.

I hope you enjoy reading our latest addition and carry on supporting our local businesses listed here in these pages.

Happy Spring.

Sale 3 IMPORTANT PROPERTY CONSIDERATIONS IN THE COVID-19 WORLD We have been closely following the unfolding legal and commercial issues relating to the Covid-19 and proffer the following list of issues for you to consider when buying, selling or leasing property in 2020, to mitigate risk and facilitate smooth transactions.

1. Consider the conditions of your contract carefully Whilst standard contract conditions are designed to cover most normal requirements, Covid-19 has exposed extra issues which should be considered, particularly in relation to delay and termination rights for both buyer and seller.

2. If buying investment property be aware of COVID-19 laws and general landlord and tenant obligations The Queensland government has enacted the COVID-19 Emergency Response Act 2020 and regulations, which impact the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants during the time of the COVID-19 emergency (as declared by the government).

Examples of the provisions include: (a) A moratorium on evictions for non-payment of rent by COVID-19 impacted tenants; (b) Mandatory extensions of tenancy agreements in certain cases; and (c) Variations to the processes relating to non-payment of rent and the consequences.

Prior to COVID-19, Queensland residential tenancy laws were under review, so understanding your rights and obligations remains important.

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

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

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 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

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.

STEVE IRWIN AWARD FOR ECOTOURISM

L

ady Elliot Island Eco Resort has taken out gold in the ‘Steve Irwin Award for Ecotourism’ category at the annual Queensland Tourism Awards held on Friday 8th November at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre.

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort continues to strive and provide a genuine ecotourism experience to all guests who visit the Island whilst at the same time ensuring we protect and preserve the fragile ecosystem for future generations to enjoy. We are extremely honoured to be presented with this remarkable accolade in recognition of our contribution to sustainable tourism.

The ‘Steve Irwin Award for Ecotourism’ recognises ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas that foster environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation.

We wish to thank everyone who has supported Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort through our sustainability journey.

“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

50

to sustainable tourism, even more so that the award represents Steve Irwin and his unmatched dedication to the protection of wildlife and wild places on our planet. A big congratulations to every single nominee and winner from the evening. On Lady Elliot Island we have the courage to push ahead and find ways in which people can exist in our spectacular and fragile environment with a minimum footprint. We are custodians of this very special environment and we are proud to lead the way in environmental and sustainable initiatives here in Queensland, Australia and worldwide. We believe our mission and role here is to make a difference for the future of this amazing planet” Peter Gash, Managing Director/Custodian, Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort

TURTLE NESTING IN FULL SWING

L

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.

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!

MANTA RAYS

L

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

rays from photographs and enter the results in the database. They also collect samples of water and plankton and take oceanographic measurements of water currents, conductivity, temperature, and depth.

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.

Share you photos with Project Manta and if a new manta is identified from your shots, you will get to NAME YOUR OWN MANTA. More info: https://biomedical-sciences. uq.edu.au/project-manta
