I have covered several seasons of The Block as a Domain journalist and, on each occasion, the task ahead has never failed to intrigue and frighten me – and that’s watching from the comfort of my couch, with a cup of tea in hand. Spare a thought for the teams, forfeiting every comfort, circular saw in hand, to create luxury real estate that commands top dollar from nothing but squalor. Our cover stars this week, former professional netballers Carla and Bianca, are among the teams who have steeled themselves for the challenge. (Hard) hats off to you, and the very best of luck! ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Nicole Manning ” … and I’m programme manager at the Forum Theatre I moved from Brisbane to Melbourne seven years ago for an admin job, but I didn’t want to be tied to a desk eight hours a day. I left in 2013 and started a teaching degree. To support myself, I took on jobs behind the bar at Marriner Group theatres, including at the Forum, which is where I became the bar manager. I realised just how much I loved hospitality and the entertainment industry, and I stopped the teaching degree. I’ve never looked back.

I was invited to work at head office to help out with programming, which includes everything from ticketing and building events to being there on the night. For the past six months, I’ve been the programming manager. I’ve learned everything on the job, and those years working behind the bar have helped enormously.

Broadly speaking, my job involves liaising with venue hirers, the venue manager and venue coordinator to put on shows, as well as promoting the Forum. On a day-to-day basis, I get in at 9am. If we had a gig the night before, I’ll open up the event report to see how the show went and follow up on any issues; contacting security, bar or cleaners with feedback, good or bad, although there’s not much negative feedback. The aim is to make things smoother in the future. Then, I’ll have a look at the calendar and see if we’re announcing a show or if a show is going on sale that day, and make sure everything is set up in terms of social media and emails, and check in with the ticketing company.

My favourite nook at the Forum is the waiting room before you go into the ladies’ bathroom. It’s a beautiful detail. Where else would you find that in a venue now?

The craziest day at work was definitely “Harry Styles Day”. We knew it was going to be nuts. That morning, there was a massive line of teenage girls waiting for the doors to open, not leaving their spots, not eating, not drinking and not going to the toilet; a rabid look in their eyes. I’m not making fun – you lose that adrenaline and excitement as an adult. Another job highlight was earlier this year when my favourite band ever, Slowdive, played here.

I bought tickets for my friend’s birthday and she came down and saw it with me. I had a moment of, “This is what I do for a living. I get paid to do this.

It’s incredible.’’ ●

COVER STORY

Calling the shots The toughest challenge yet – a famous St Kilda eyesore – confronts new teams on The Block, who will spill sweat and sawdust to create landmark apartments.

Former netballers Carla and Bianca are expected to be formidable on The Block.

“Year on year the brief gets bigger and bolder. It’s been really exciting being involved with the rebirth of a grand old dame.”

JULIAN BRENCHLEY - THE BLOCK’S ARCHITECT

A

s the teams for the new season of The Block walked into the old Gatwick Hotel in St Kilda for the first time, they had no idea they would be taking on the biggest project in the show’s history.

“There’s nothing that can prepare you for that feeling when you’re thrust into a property like the Gatwick,” contestant and former professional netballer Carla says. “You walk in, the carpets are wet underfoot, there’s a smell that you’re confronted with. You’re a bit like a deer in headlights.”

It’s a building with a patchy past. Built as a luxurious hotel in 1937, the Gatwick fell into disrepair, and had up to recently been used as a lowbudget rooming house.

In the 14th season of The Block, five couples from across Australia will transform the notorious Fitzroy Street dive from rundown hotel to high-end apartment building over just 12 weeks.

Architect Julian Brenchley, who has worked on the show since its first season, says transforming the building was a feat like no other.

“We like to give ourselves challenges, so year on year the brief gets bigger and bolder. They’re the biggest apartments we’ve ever done.” Brenchley says.

“It’s been really exciting being involved with the rebirth of a grand old dame.”

The project is set to breathe new life into this somewhat downtrodden area of St Kilda.

Hocking Stuart Albert Park director David Wood, who was the auctioneer of last season’s winning property by Josh Barker and Elyse Knowles, says locals have been positive about the building’s rejuvenation.

“The Block renovating the Gatwick will be the catalyst for real improvement in Fitzroy Street and the surrounding streets,” Wood says. “A lot of people who live locally have said they’d be very interested to have a look at the apartments because they love the location.”

Wo r d s

He says the apartments are likely to fetch record prices for the area.

“There’s precious few that have the size that these properties have and there’s very few that have the nature of the renovation.”

The task of having 10 relative novices designing, managing and completing a renovation of the quality and scale The Block requires is not a small one, but Brenchley says most of the applicants at least had some clue about what goes on on a building site.

“People are getting more savvy with how things are done,” he says. “There are limitations, but then that’s when the creative juices are meant to flow.”

F

or former professional netballers and Bianca and Carla, their lack of experience on the tools is made up for by their ability to stay calm under pressure. Bianca won Commonwealth Games gold and silver for Australia in netball, and hit the court for the Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Vixens, where she played alongside Carla.

They met about 15 years ago, and though they’ve not always lived in the same state, their friendship has lasted the test of time – and so far, the test of The Block.

“Coming from a team sports background, you have that foundation of knowing what you need to make a good team, and I guess, that real hunger to win,” Carla says. “I still want to make sure we come out of this very good friends – that means more to me than anything else.”

It was Bianca’s idea for them to audition for the show. Her dad is a builder and she has renovated a couple of small apartments in Melbourne.

“Both of us have to be labourers, we have to carry as much stuff up stairs as we can,” Bianca says.

“Anything where we can get our hands dirty, we’re doing it.”

JEMIMAH CLEGG ●

Ph o t o

She says friends told her to get a male counterpart to audition with – someone who could do more of the physical work – but Bianca says being a rare allgirl team was not a disadvantage.

“I get budget-wise it might be helpful to have a guy with a trade,” Bianca says. “But like [season seven winners] Alisa and Lysandra [Fraser] showed, it’s possible and I hope it shows other girls that they could do it too.”

Another team, West Australian fiancees Courtney and Hans, are also renovation rookies. The flight attendant and pilot met seven years ago and decided on a whim to try out for the show.

“I think everyone loves a bit of a cliche and the pilot-flight attendant storyline everyone kind of loves,” Courtney says.

She says arriving in Melbourne with no trade contacts – especially once they saw the condition of The Gatwick – was overwhelming.

“I wanted to leave. I was like ‘we are way in over our heads, there’s absolutely no way in the world we are going to be able to do this’.”

Hans says the pair have realised their tendency to be “rule followers” might not always work in their favour.

“The whole thing is not to take ‘no’ for an answer, and it took us a while to cotton on to that,” Hans says. “You have to just throw all caution to the wind and persevere.”

Carla says what she’s learnt about herself has made the stress of renovating a room a week worth it. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done – I loved the experiences I had with netball – but this is a challenge that’s completely out of my comfort zone and to be able to do it gives me a massive sense of achievement.” ● THE BLOCK 2018 \ Premieres Sunday August 5, 7pm, on Channel 9. ● 9now.com.au

hen HWKR approached me to take on one of their pop-up leases at their food hall in the Melbourne CBD, I came up with a Malaysian street food concept, which offers both traditional and fusion dishes. It was then that Chanteen was born, using family recipes passed down through the generations.

Chanteen is cooking from scratch with no shortcuts, and this is my secret satay recipe. It is one our top-selling dishes along with the Char Kuey Teow. Don’t be overwhelmed by the list of ingredients as I guarantee you it is worth the hassle.

Do it over the weekend, allowing 24 hours for the meat to marinate and if you haven’t got a charcoal grill, use the barbecue instead. However, charcoal will give you a deeper and smokier flavour, which you can’t get from an electric grill.

If you think it’s all too much work, pop down to Chanteen before it closes on August 12. ●

iven the current turbo-charged interest in all things Tasmanian, it’s not surprising that the state’s pinot noir output is also attracting extra attention. It should. Tasmanian expressions of this fickle grape variety are among the best in the country and there’s an increasing acknowledgement that the state is home to several distinct subregions that make drinking the stuff even more interesting.

Philip Kennedy, co-owner of recently refurbished Southbank restaurant Pure South, has not only been specialising in all things Tasmanian at his restaurant for 14 years but also makes wine in Tasmania, including pinot noir.

He has watched the wine industry develop and reckons it’s like it has “advanced 40 years in the last 15 years”.

“I think what’s interesting is that people are PU R E S O U T H

finally acknowledging and taking real pride in the length and the breadth of the quality in Tasmania and that there are distinct subregions,” he says.

“In the north, you get more fragrant, bright pomegranate expressions, while in the south the wines are more broody, more savoury with dark cherry characteristics. ‘‘In the east, it’s hard to put into words, but they display a savoury character with an almost lolly-like lick of musk and a quality like dark red blossom.”

For those wanting to compare and contrast Tasmania’s pinot noir (and others), Pure South is hosting VIN Diemen, a former wine trade show that’s evolved into an annual festival highlighting the state’s food and wine output.

The festival will take over the top floor of Pure South and some of the ground level with 26

fter a long day at work, a brutal workout, a stressful meeting or a long commute there’s not much better than arriving home to your favourite comfort food.

Whether it’s dad’s signature spaghetti, nan’s chocolate pudding or pad thai from your local takeaway joint, everyone has their go-to food that’s like a hug from the inside out.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying your favourite hearty foods here and there, but when they’re not necessarily ticking all of the health boxes you need to indulge in moderation.

This does not mean you need to say goodbye to these meals altogether to meet your health goals. In fact, you can actually eat your favourite comfort foods more often than you think. You might just need to be a little bit creative in the kitchen to make them healthier.

Here are some of my favourite comfort foods and easy ways to tweak them so they’re more than just ‘‘sometimes’’ foods.

PIZZA \ There’s no better way to end a big week of

work – and workouts – than curling up on the couch with my girls, watching my beloved Hawks and enjoying a pizza.

We often make the pizza ourselves and love to get creative in the kitchen with our toppings.

Sometimes we’ll use a wholegrain wrap as a lighter base or if we really feel like dusting off our aprons, you can’t go wrong with a good cauliflower base.

banana are two ingredients I use to whip up my pancakes – no half cups of sugar or flour required!

SPAG BOL \ My partner Snez is a sucker for a good bowl of pasta and you won’t hear any complaints from me when it is on the menu at our place.

If I’ve had a particularly carb heavy day but still need my spaghetti fix, zucchini noodles are a good substitute. Sometimes I do half zoodles/half pasta or if I need a little more substance I’ll go for wholemeal pasta instead.

Parent hack: bolognese is a great way to hide vegetables from kids in the sauce. Finely diced veggies can easily be overlooked by little ones so why not try making your sauce from scratch and sneaking them in?

My final tip is easier said than done, but try not to overdo it on the cheese.

Sometimes I even like to make a burger salad but if going roll free gives you nightmares, try using only one side – ‘‘open burger’’ style. Skip the chips and fill your plate with a side salad instead.

curry. Curries are so flavoursome, but not always the healthiest option. The good news is they’re seriously easy to modify to keep them as a staple in your diet.

Me & My Mentor

T YLER B RADLEY & B RANDON DEMURA SPECIAL PROMOTION

T

yler Bradley is a Mentone Grammar alumni who is passionate about sharing his knowledge of mathematics.

Through Mentone Grammar’s tutoring program Tyler has helped year-12 student Brandon Demura, who says he now has a stronger understanding of mathematical principles and what it takes to tackle maths at university.

I’d always struggled with maths up until year 10, I was not a huge fan of asking for help. I was just on the border of passing and failing.

It was a combination of having trouble understanding the topics and basic mathematical principles. I realised I’d have to do maths to keep doors open for university.

Once I got to know Tyler, the rapport we built really helped improve my maths.

I started to enjoy it a lot more. It was lucky it turned into something more like a teacher-student relationship.

I picked up another maths subject at the start of year 12. I was doing physics but I wasn’t as interested in it any more so I thought I’d choose another subject and was weighing up a few options.

I thought a second maths was a good choice, especially since I had a tutor who had done so well in it and I knew it wouldn’t be a burden to take it on.

Now I’m studying maths methods and further maths.

Before I started the program with Tyler I didn’t really hold myself to deadlines. When I did I had questions ready for him, and that discipline has carried over to other subjects as well.

Tyler is introducing me to how university works, and what the work’s like and what you have to put in: building a picture of uni so it’s not such a shock.

After year 12 I’m hoping to study commerce at Monash University. I’d like to work in the world of finance.

My dad studied finance as well and built a life in business. I can have discussions with him about it, about how it affects everything we do and what we have access to – the real world scenarios it deals with really interests me.

GREG BRIGGS

BRANDON SAYS ...

BRANDON DEMURA & TYLER BRADLEY

T YLER SAYS ...

Both my parents are maths teachers, so that’s where my interest came from. I realised I had a real maths brain when I started year 7, so it was really good to have the support of my parents to get me through.

After leaving in 2015, I continued at Mentone Grammar with the tutoring program. I studied all three of the mathematics streams in VCE, so I’ve been able to tutor all of them.

Students can also ask me for advice post year-12, about what careers maths can lead to, and about going into university.

Some don’t feel comfortable asking, but part of my role is going around and talking to students so if they do have problems that they feel comfortable enough to ask me a question.

I do a lot of tutoring outside of the program as well, so I have a lot of experience in helping students

with their problems. The best thing about it is seeing the improvement that the students show and over time I feel like I’m making a meaningful difference.

I did really well in year 12 so I feel I have the skills to be able to help others out, so that’s why I really like to do it.

At the moment I’m studying actuarial science and commerce as my majors. Not a lot of people know what actuarial science is, but it’s the study of statistics and probability.

I’ve been working with Brandon for nearly two years now – starting back when he was in year 10.

In year 11 he really found his niche in the way he was doing maths. I’m incredibly proud of Brandon, the way he’s improved over the last two years.

That’s the goal of the whole program, it makes you feel really good. ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

restige developer Lowe Living aims to set a peak for Brighton apartment design and quality with the release of an ultra-luxe, fourresidence development in sought-after Black Street.

The $21 million Alamer Brighton (from the French à la mer) will comprise three whole-floor apartments and a double storey townhouse when completed in late 2019. The extensive ground-floor residence offers 323 square metres of internal living with an in-ground pool within 239 square metres of outdoor entertainment space plus a four-car garage.

Designed by award-winning architects Wolveridge Architects with interiors by internationally-recognised designer Fiona Lynch, each three-bed, three-bath residence has a private underground garage; the ground floor and townhouse residences have private lift access.

Lowe Living managing director Tim Lowe says Alamer’s exclusivity and prime location places it beyond previous Brighton projects. “Each residence is meticulously crafted and provides the ultimate in high-end living in Melbourne’s most prestigious bayside locality.” ● LIZ MCLACHLAN

THE LONDON \ LARGE-SCALE LIVING AT BEACHFRONT LANDMARK

I

nner city beachfront living is a rare commodity in Melbourne, so when The London project was recently released in Port Melbourne it was no surprise when three of four full-floor residences were immediately snapped up.

The development design for the former London Hotel site by architects Ewert Leaf won an award in the 2018 Melbourne Design Awards. It includes an eight-storey apartment building next to a threestorey restaurant, bar and function centre overlooking the bay.

The eight-level apartment building houses just 13 residences and buyers coveting a beachfront home can still secure one of six expansive three-bedroom homes with views of the port, Westgate and Bolte bridges and the Melbourne Star.

Developer Gary Busuttil, director of TAB Developments, says half of the residences have sold, all to current inner bayside residents. Available three-bedroom residences feature family-friendly amenities including two living zones and separate laundries with prices from $1.95 million. ● LIZ MCLACHLAN

BRIGHTON \ 1/10 MANOR STREET 2

Soon after this townhouse was completed, the architect decided he wasn’t going anywhere. Mightily pleased with his creation, he took his pick of the three single-level residences – the one at the front – and hunkered down for the next decade.

Well, he would, wouldn’t he? The living room with its awesome vaulted ceiling, the walled garden and an address one block from the beach clearly made this place impossible to give up.

Unfortunately the architect’s name has been lost, but his masterpiece stands strong. Fresh from a lustrous renovation, it’s probably even more alluring than when new in the mid-1980s.

Downsizers will love it, especially as it has two double bedrooms plus a study that might double as a guest room.

However, it’s also an attractive entry point for a family hoping for a secure, sunny garden where little kids can play.

Entry is via the shared side driveway. This is unexpectedly pretty, thanks to talented gardeners on the block.

The house has new engineered-oak flooring with underfloor heating, a granite kitchen and plantation shutters.

However, the show stopper is the cedar ceiling, which soars to a cluster of clerestory windows at the highest point.

Crossed by beams and dotted with downlights, it brings a wonderful sense of spaciousness to the living and dining areas and kitchen.

The living area has sliding doors west to the garden and north to the brick patio. In one corner, Japanesestyle screen doors slide to reveal a study with full-length

windows.

The kitchen, part of the open plan, looks good in brown

DOWNSIZERS.” KATE FOWLER, AGENT

Both the carpeted bedrooms have large wardrobes, and the main has a skylit en suite with a shower and a granite cabinet. The main bathroom has a shower, granite cabinet and towel cupboard.

Via the well-organised laundry is a foyer to the double garage and the north courtyard’s service area. ● ALISON BARCLAY editorial@domain.com.au Agent: Marshall White, Kate Fowler 0418 418 385 Price: $1.8 million-$1.98 million Auction: 10.30am, August 4
