LABEL Tuesday night television is all about Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The show captivates audiences and this season’s series promises an even close look at the drama, the glamour, and the relationships. In the past year, the Kardashian’s marriages, break-ups, and babies have kept audiences enthralled.

Watch E! (Channel 121 on Foxtel, Optus and Austar) every Tuesday at 9.30pm and be prepared for more. This season challenges fans to keep up with this crazy family. The Kardashian-Jenner clan is all abut the scene, good, bad but never indifferent.

Outspoken matriarch Kris Jenner and her affable Olympic gold medallist husband Bruce continue to create chaos. Offspring Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Robert continue to live hectic over-the-top lifestyles while Kendall and Kylie enter the spotlight with a new set of troubles.

See newly single Kim move into a gorgeous new home. Watch disaster unfold as Kris decides to celebrate with a house warming party at Kim’s house. The behaviour of the guests is as one would expect. They wreck the joint and cause high drama between mother and daughter.

The Kardashians

Kourtney moves in with Khloe and Lamar but continues to work on her relationship with Scott. Scott shows up at Khloe’s house to take Kourtney and Mason to lunch but Khloe’ bars the door and Kourtney decides to move on.

Kendall and Kylie are no longer quiet children. Bruce and Kris have their hands full with their youngest daughter’s career opportunities, first dates and not so ladylike behaviour.

Meanwhile back in Australia, the Kardashian sisters have announced a global partnership with leading international designer Bruno Schiavi and his Jupi Corporation label.

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney are working with Schiavi on a new brand of apparel, homewares and accessories. The range is expected to launch in Australia, Canada, Germany and Britain next year.

Schiavi says the initial range includes a women’s fashion collection, handbags, belts, wallets and lingerie. “The Kardashian sisters are an inspiration to women of all ages and loved for their sense of fashion and style,” he says. “I am extremely excited to be working with Kim, Khloe and Kourtney across so many fashion categories and taking their brand to women in key markets around the world,” Schiavi says.

LABEL The saga of the Kardashians combines all the glamour and drama of long running television favourites from the Bold and the Beautiful to Dynasty, Dallas and beyond.

– television’s favourite family Schiavi is an expert on body image and self esteem building. His popular international brands include the BL Body range (inspired by NBC’s The Biggest Loser) and Dr Rey’s Shapewear range.

Schiavi is a natural partner for the high profile Kardashian sisters. The concept of healthy, curvaceous bodies, high self esteem, and family values combined with a fun, theatrical and sexy image fits with Schiavi’s success.

A statement from Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian shows they are excited about working with Schiavi.

‘His expert design sensibilities, amazing creativity, and genuine understanding of female consumers make Schiavi the ideal partner,’ the statement read.

Schiavi is an inspiring Australian fashion entrepreneur. He has made the BRW Young Rich List for the past six years.

Schiavi set up Jupi Corp nine years ago with assets of only $2000. His creative and intuitive fashion savvy has positioned the company as a global powerhouse.

In August 2002 Schiavi launched the anabella line of lingerie. This was quickly followed by the sell out release of Delta by anabella in conjunction with Australian star Delta Goodrem. Schiavi’s partnerships with celebrities include Priscilla Presley, renowned plastic surgeon Dr Robert Rey, cricket fast bowler Brett Lee and singing and video star Janet Jackson.

Schiavi recently teamed with Australian designer Peter Morrissey to add a new fashion outer wear brand to his impressive stable. Jupi International retail collections are available in Australia, Britain, America, Canada, South America, and throughout Europe.

Jasmine Kuhn captured Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Bruno Schiavi discussing plans for the new range.

Lisa says there’s a romantic sophistication to the spring collection.

“It’s harder edged, more modern, but always glamorous and relaxed. These are pieces for the woman who is always moving forward,” she says.

The Lisa Ho spring collection focus is on draping that clings to the body to highlight the curves of a feminine silhouette. Hemlines are noticeably longer, either knee-length in dresses and pencil skirts, or skimming the ankles in long A-line skirts for a relaxed new style. Cropped trousers highlight ankles and shoes.

The colour palette is muted and soft.

Mossy greens and khaki, nude, sun kissed tan, mushroom pinks and knocked-back lilac. These colours play out in the prints that take their cue from nature with lichen and mountain scenes, a cosmic panorama, and blown-out bird feathers. These natural elements are digitally reworked and abstracted into urban territory, toughened up and modernised.

There is an effortless quality, it’s polished yet nonchalant. The fabrics are luxurious stretch silk and silk jersey, lightly crushed linen brings beautiful weight and texture. Paper-thin leathers are turned into easy-wear jackets perfect for a summer’s night. www.labelmagazine.com.au -

When it comes to hitting the financial jackpot Oprah Winfrey is a star with a current year income of A$315 million. Angelina Jolie was a hot contender for top spot last year but dropped back to number 18 this year.

We imagine Ms Jolie found no reason to pout with an income of A$20 million especially as partner Brad Pitt contributed to the household budget with a tidy A$20 million.

Single lady Beyoncé Knowles made it big in the money stakes with a massive A$87 million and Material girl Madonna can shop ‘til she drops with an income of A$58 million.

Avatar director James Cameron is not a poor boy with A$210 million to his credit.

Lady Gaga looks pretty smart with A$62 million to spend or save while Tiger Woods scored $A105 million despite a rocky course.

Pretty Britney Spears made a hot A$64 million and U2 shared a A$130 million pool.

Sandra Bullock dried her tears on A$56 million as her marriage split generated enough publicity to increase her income next year.

Johnny Depp is in wonderland with A$75 million and the luscious Simon Cowell proves he has talent with A$80 million.

Taylor Swift dropped in with A$45 million. Miley Cyrus and Kobe Bryant had a good year with $48 million each.

Jay-Z wrapped up A$63 million and the Black Eyed Peas A$48 million. Bruce Springsteen won’t need to worry about his pension with an annual income of A$70 million.

While talent may help it seems hard work and business savvy are the main ingredients in forging a healthy bank balance. Parental investment in fostering wannabe dancers, singers and actors could pay more dividends than a super fund.

Losing weight could be as easy as putting it on Gastric banding is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is statistically the most effective solution for sustainable weight loss.

Being overweight is hard work but losing weight doesn’t have to be. About 80 per cent of patients are able to lose up to 60 per cent of their excess body weight; this gives gastric banding a proven record of success.

Gastric banding helps people lose weight quickly, safely, and permanently by reducing the food holding capacity of the stomach.

The band is placed around the upper part of the stomach and can be adjusted to suit individual needs. This helps control hunger and reduces meal sizes. The result is sure and steady weight loss.

Reduced hunger helps to promote healthier eating habits and a complimentary lifestyle change can ensure the excess weight will not return. Every WeightLoss Solutions Australia client is offered support and guidance from a number of clinical specialists.

“I highly recommend this procedure to anybody who is struggling with obesity. My life is getting so much better and I only wish I had done it earlier. Having so far lost 50kgs in seven months, I wake up every day feeling better and better; it’s the best thing that I’ve done in my life and I hope to be around for a lot longer as a result. If you think that it’s a hard road, please think again. While it can be challenging at times, I have found the journey so far to be quite easy. You just need to think smart and follow the rules.

“I had surgery a month before my 21st birthday in August 2008. I weighed 104kgs, was a size 18, severely depressed, pre-diabetic, antisocial, and lacked self confidence. I’d been overweight for as long as I can remember and over the years, with many failed attempts at fad diets, my weight just kept creeping up. I don’t like to admit it, but I was an emotional over eater who used to cry in change rooms because all the nice clothes my friends were wearing just wouldn’t fit me. Now 16 months after my surgery, I weigh 76kgs. I am a self-confident, happy size 12, who loves shopping for clothes. I thank Dr Layani and his team for changing my life.

Fellini’s business lunch set to impress Fellini at Marina Mirage offers superb ambience, Broadwater views and sensational food at lunch and dinner. The degustation style lunch menu is particularly popular with business people who want to impress clients and colleagues.

Fellini partner Carlo Percuoco says the business lunch menu is fresh and exciting.

“It is an invigorating mix of rich and exotic flavours in four finely crafted yet surprisingly light courses,” he says.

“The degustation lunch is designed for people who are time conscious and want to experience a decadent lunch without spending all afternoon dining out. The four course lunch gives diners a stress free and time efficient experience. The set menu means there are no decisions to make and every culinary desire is catered for.

“The menu has been specifically designed so guests can savour and experience a continuation of flavours without feeling too full. Perfectly sized potions allow guests to taste and enjoy a series of dishes. Degustation means to savour, this menu creates the perfect balance between flavour and satisfaction,” Carlo says.

The lunch menu varies but the current selection includes freshly made ravioli filled with slow roasted duck and vegetables in butter and sage sauce. Another delectable dish is fire roasted capsicum and goats cheese with eggplant, pesto and fresh basil.

Dessert is Fellini’s signature semifreddo, a handmade ice cream terrine of marinated prunes and pistachio nuts with a light caramel sauce and Strega liqueur is divine.

The $50 per person degustation lunch menu is available from Monday to Friday.

Nudie Coconut Water is the celebrity thirst quencher. Hollywood A-listers Madonna and Demi Moore were among the first to discover coconut water can rehydrate the body three times as fast as a sports drink.

Nutritionist Zoe Bingley-Pullin says coconut water is the new wonder drink. “People who rely on tea, coffee or soft drinks for fluid intake are not sufficiently hydrated,” she says. “Research shows 350ml of coconut water is equal to drinking more than one litre of water and contains as much potassium as a banana, making it ideal for people on the go. It’s important for people to drink water but coconut water is a natural, refreshing and hydrating beverage,” she says. Visit www.nudie.com.au/coconutwater.

Hydrodol is a supplement containing vitamins B1 and B2 along with a range of amino acids, minerals, and an antioxidant. These ingredients help alleviate a hangover.

Today, Tyrrell’s is an international wine company with premium vineyards in the Hunter Valley and other distinguished Australian grape growing regions including South Australia’s McLaren Vale and the Heathcote region of Victoria.

Managing director Bruce Tyrrell is the fourth generation of winemakers.

Tyrrell’s fifth generation is involved in the Australian business that exports to more than 30 countries.

Among the top quality range of wines is Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Hunter Semillon 2007. This classic Hunter Valley semillon shows a tightly structured palate with considerable length and breadth of citrus fruit flavour. It is now beginning to display toasty bottle aged complexity and will continue to develop delicious bottle age characters until at least 2012.

Tyrrell’s Vat 8 Shiraz 2007 is a modern version of traditional Hunter Valley Shiraz. The wine has a vibrant purple colour, bright red fruits, spice and a touch of chocolate on the nose. This medium weight wine has strong juicy dark berry fruit flavours, and fresh spicy vanillin oak.

Balanced acid adds to the clean finish. Smooth and silky when young, it will reward with careful medium term cellaring. www.labelmagazine.com.au -

LABEL Steven and Autumn Adams attribute the success of the Moo Moo brand to dedication and passion for the hospitality industry. Steven says many people thought they were crazy to open two restaurants in the same year, particularly as one of the properties is overseas.

“Opening two restaurants in the one year has been extremely hard work but very exciting,” Steven says. “We didn’t plan to open two restaurants within a few months of each other but Stamford Hotels and Starwood Hotels approached us at the same time and after completion of fit out that’s how it turned out.”

Steven and Autumn chose Damien Draper as executive chef for the Brisbane restaurant.

Steven says Damien has extensive experience

A lot to moo about

with some of Brisbane’s most popular restaurants including Bistrot Bistro, 1889 Enotecca, Urbane, Bespoke and Watt Modern Dining.

“The complexities of the operation at the Brisbane Restaurant created a need for an executive chef who has the ability to work under extreme pressure,” he says.

“Damien’s previous experience at Mariners Restaurant and Denison Star on Hamilton Island and O’Connor’s Abattoirs in Victoria coupled with his enthusiasm and passion for cooking beef gives him the skills required to head up the kitchen at Moo Moo Brisbane.

“The Moo Moo team of managers and staff ensure restaurants deliver the perfect Moo Moo experience. This allows Autumn and I to travel between the restaurants,” Steven says.

Toyota Rukus is hot Oh what a feeling turned up the heat with a winter radio promotion Grand Motors Toyota recently joined forces with Hot Tomato radio station to give listeners the opportunity to win a brand new Toyota Rukus.

A huge number of the radio station’s 130,000 plus listeners entered the competition.

A group of 95 finalists were invited to breakfast at Conrad Jupiter’s. The number of competitors was then reduced to 25 grand finalists. Each chose an envelope containing a secret code.

Evan Jones of Merrimac unlocked the box containing the Grand Motors Toyota Rukus key.

Evan joined radio presenters Holmesy and Flan on air to announce the thrilling win. Evan called his wife Lauren while on air; listeners were left in no doubt about their delight.

Evan and Lauren couldn’t stop smiling when they collected their new Rukus from Grand Motors Toyota. Evan says it’s an urban trendsetter with all the bells and whistles.

“It’s packed with features including alloy wheels, cruise control, keyless entry and a nine speaker sound system,” he says. “The Toyota has a brazenly boxy shape that is sure to turn heads,” Evan says.

For more information about the Toyota Rukus and the entire Toyota range of vehicles visit www.grandmotors.com.au or call in and see the Grand Motors Toyota team at 265 Ferry Road Southport.

Diet and depravation seem to be natural partners but this diet defies the odds with delicious, nutritious and luxurious dishes.

By Catherine Taylor and Weightloss Solutions Australia dietitian Taryn Swift Luxury foods are not necessarily the most expensive. Gram-for-gram fat laden fast food is often more expensive than top quality treats such as lobster or lean beef. We sourced the best foods from around the world and our favourite restaurants to create a seven day menu for the slender gourmet. The essential elements are taste, nutritional value and pleasure.

The only element we ignored was the budget. Start the day with a beautiful breakfast. Fresh foods are a favourite, preparation is usually no more than assembly although a couple of our favourites require a few minutes cooking. Enjoy a delicious cup of freshly made coffee or tea, mineral water or 200mls of freshly squeezed fruit or vegetable juice.

The Decadent Diet daily energy intake ranges from 4000 to 7500kj with an approximate average of 5200kj. This is below the energy required for an average person to maintain their weight so more food can be added. If weight loss is the goal there is still room to increase the total daily energy intake a little and still lose weight gradually.

Add fruit, non-starchy vegetables, dairy foods and whole grains. Satisfy hunger pangs with nutritious snacks. Enjoy a piece of fruit, a platter of raw sliced vegetables, a handful of cherry tomatoes, a tub of low fat yoghurt with a handful of oats sprinkled on top, or two to four wholegrain crackers with low fat cottage cheese and tomato. Add half a cup cooked cous cous to salads, 200ml of yoghurt to fruit salads. Relax with a low-fat milk based coffee on two days of the week or enjoy a glass of wine with one lunch or dinner. It’s all about taste, become a gourmet, enjoy natural flavours and avoid adding salt to meals.

Average daily intake of energy and food groups Based on the requirements of a 31-50 year old female height 170cm, weight 63kg with minimal physical activity. Energy requirement for weight maintenance is approximately 8800Kj, for weight loss approximately 6800Kj. NUTRIENTS Energy Fruit Veg Dairy Meat and meat alternatives Grains or starchy veg Nuts Added fats Indulgent extras

DECADENT DIET AVERAGE DAY 5200Kj 1.5 serves 3.7 serves 0.9 serves 1.9 serves 2.2 serves 0.7 serves 3 serves 0.7

RECOMMENDED 6800-8800Kj 2-3 serves 4-7 serves 2-3 serves 1-1.5 serves 4-6 serves 1 serves 20 to 35 % energy intake 0-2 serves

Dine out at breakfast, lunch or dinner but balance the kilojoules with light and delicious meals at home.

Choose the coffee The world’s finest and most expensive coffee is Kopi Luwak or civet coffee at around $800 per kilo.

It is produced mainly on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi. The coffee is made from beans that have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet and other related civets. The beans are pooped out, collected, cleaned, sun dried and lightly roasted to create an aromatic coffee.

A cup of tea can be a gourmet treat The current record for the most expensive tea is held by a rare Chinese green tea called Tieguanyin at $3000 per kilo or $15 a cup.

The world’s most expensive tea bag is the PG company’s 75th anniversary collectable. The tea bags are decorated with 280 diamonds and worth about $15,000.

Sweet fresh water at a price Kona Nigari is the world’s most expensive water. The desalinated mineral rich water comes from the deep seas off Hawaii and costs $16.75 for 30ml.

Strawberries on a buttermilk pancake

Take two generous slices of fresh pineapple and half a punnet of fresh blueberries, drizzle with crème fraîche and top with crushed pistachios.

Make pancake with two dessertspoons of wholemeal flour blended with enough buttermilk to make a paste. Cook pancake in a non-stick pan for a minute each side or until cooked through, top with 10 sliced strawberries and serve.

LUNCH A slice of organic wholemeal bread with mixed salad leaves and three thin slices of turkey breast drizzled with balsamic.

LUNCH Glass at Marina Mirage is the perfect location at any time but sumptuous surroundings and superb food make a Monday lunch marvellous.

Move on to a luxurious main course, we discovered several but the corn-fed chicken breast fillet filled with king crab, chive mousse, braised leeks, scorched tomatoes and foie gras cream won the day.

DINNER Chill on Tedder in the heart of Main Beach offers a totally indulgent five course truffle tasting menu for $95 per person. We dined on creamed jerusalem artichoke and baby leek soup with shaved truffle and parmesan tuile followed by white asparagus and oyster mushroom risotto with truffle butter, shaved winter truffle, and white truffle oil. The next course was seared Queensland scallops with parsnip purée, crisp pancetta, truffle and white port jus with micro herbs. We then enjoyed a ballotine of pheasant pocketed with porcini and truffle farce accompanied by pomme fondant, braised red cabbage, oven-roasted baby carrots and shaved truffle pan juices. The final course was fillet of beef rossini wrapped in pancetta with potato rösti, griddled foie gras, buttered baby spinach, shaved truffle and pan juices.

White truffles are ascomycetes (tubers) that grow underground and cost the earth. The record price to December 2009 is $330,000 for 1.5kg. Truffles are usually served as fine slivers on top of other food or infused in sparingly used oil.

Wednesday BREAKFAST Poached eggs with caviar and wholemeal toast Gently poach two eggs while lightly toasting a slice of fresh wholemeal bread. Drain water from eggs, place eggs on toast and top with caviar.

Beluga Caviar is the most expensive food in the world costing up to $5000 per kilogram. Caviar is fish roe (eggs) and less costly varieties are available.

A gift of matsutake is considered very special. The annual harvest is now less than 1000 tons. This is partly made up by imports from China, Korea, and Canada. The Japanese Matsutake can cost as much as $2000 per kilogram.

LUNCH At fabulous Fellini we dined on the new degustation-style lunch menu. There are several options but we chose the seafood selection. The first course was homemade bread with extra virgin olive oil, roasted garlic and aged balsamic vinegar. This was followed by Tasmanian black mussels with roast capsicum, spanish onion, cucumber, chardonnay vinegar, parsley and a tomato infused chilli oil. We then enjoyed the baby zucchini flowers filled with spanner crabmeat, fried in a light yeast batter and served with San Marzano tomato salad, aged balsamic and extra virgin olive oil. The next course was squid ink infused pasta with sautéed prawns, calamari, zucchini, julienne tomato, chopped parsley and extra virgin olive oil. The final savoury course was grilled Tasmanian ocean trout served on potato, leek, tomato, zucchini, saffron and chives. We finished with panna cotta. This may sound like a huge amount of food but the dishes are small. Diners can enjoy the flavours and satisfy the appetite without over indulging.

LUNCH Moo Moo holds a host of awards for fine food, fabulous service and seriously good wine. Celebrate the day with lunch or dinner at one of Queensland’s leading restaurants. We chose an entrée of grilled quail marinated in master stock with pickled radish salad, salt and chilli jam followed by pan seared kangaroo fillet on a horseradish potato cake with wilted calvo nero cabbage and red wine jus

BREAKFAST Smoked salmon, fresh asparagus and matsutake mushrooms Take two thin slices of smoked salmon and lightly blanch six stalks of asparagus in boiling water. Wipe the mushrooms, trim the stalks, slice and toss with a twist of black pepper in a non-stick pan. Wrap three stalks of asparagus in each piece of salmon and top with mushrooms.

Matsutake mushrooms have been an important part of Japanese cuisine for the past 1000 years. The tradition of giving mushrooms continues in Japan’s corporate world.

300g mixed basmati and wild rice Generous pinch of saffron 600ml hot vegetable stock

Nutty fruit cocktail with champagne

East is a superb nightclub with sensational dining facilities.

Dress up, go out and enjoy a sensual trip through the cuisines of Asia. The menu is designed around fresh, hand picked produce of the highest quality. From an exquisite menu of temptations we chose the chestnut pâté. Chef’s creation of shoyu scented roast chestnut and red wine pâté with almond flakes, a crisp sun dried tomato tortilla and balsamic glaze is the perfect start to a decadent dinner. We couldn’t resist the crab lasagne. Imagine crab, prawn and seafood baked lasagne with abalone-spiked laksa-carbonara sauce dusted with coriander. It is sensational.

Separate the segments of half a grapefruit and a mandarin. Remove seeds from six red cherries, peel and cut an apple into small pieces.

Chop half a banana into slices. Place the fruit the centre of half a rock melon and top with two teaspoons of crushed macadamia nuts. Enjoy the taste and texture with a glass of champagne.

Dessert was naughty but Saturday night comes once a week so we opted for the dessert sushi. This exceptional chef interpreted nigiri sushi with a mock wasabi made of green tea infused mascarpone cheese and a coconut-chocolate dip to substitute soy sauce. It was a playful ending to a gastronomic delight.

Sunday BREAKFAST Breakfast omelette Celebrate Sunday with friends and an extravagant omelette.

The most expensive omelette in the world is served at New York’s Le Parker Meridien Restaurant. The $1000 dish consists of 300 grams of Sevruga caviar, a whole lobster, and six eggs.

Try it at home with 10 eggs beaten with a splash of water, a little salt and freshly ground pepper. Take the meat of a whole lobster and two jars of black lump fish roe. Gently cook the lobster meat in a non-stick fry pan with 30ml of virgin olive oil. When lobster meat is cooked, add the eggs. Cook over moderate heat until the eggs form a firm base. Place pan under a hot grill until the omelette rises, drizzle the finished dish with fish roe and serve with crusty bread. It should serve six people and those who aren’t watching their weight can drizzle top quality virgin olive oil on the bread.

The Fortunes of Ruby White by Lia Weston Meet Ruby White. She’s jobless, broke, and about to get pulled into the bizarre new age world where The Devil Wears Prada becomes The Devil Wears Gauzy Meditation Robes.

Ruby White has been pushed too far and quit her job as a secretary to the worst of the Knobbes at Knobbe & Sons.

With nothing else to fill her time, Ruby soon finds herself at a seminar for those who are Hyper-Audio-Aware; a condition she never knew existed.

The seminar is run by the Jaasmyn Empire, a company she’s never heard of. To Ruby’s surprise, she is offered a job.

Providing everything from meditation CDs, candles and specialised sleeping aides (otherwise known as pillows), to private classes with a psychic therapist (a parrot), the Empire offers solutions for every physical and metaphysical problem ever conceived, and many that haven’t.

Ruby swiftly gains a reputation for possessing extraordinary abilities even though her talents are in fact no more than guesswork and sarcasm.

The attention of the charismatic head of the Empire, Jaasmyn sees Ruby ignore her misgivings about ethics. She enjoys fitting in somewhere for the first time in her life.

As Ruby disappears into the mire of mind, body and spirit, her friends and family try numerous ways to lure her back. Their efforts push her further towards Jaasmyn.

Ruby’s friend at the Empire, DeDe, is onto Jaasmyn and orchestrates an unforgettable media expose. Finally Ruby begins to resemble her old self.

This riveting story is filled with biting humour, sharp wit and a fresh voice in women’s fiction.

The Fortunes of Ruby White takes the reader on a hilarious adventure that comes back to the old question of figuring out who we are, and keeping the people we love in the process.

Author Lia Weston was born in Sydney in 1974 and grew up in Adelaide. She survived an adolescence spent at an all-girls religious school and developed a curiosity about the parallels between cults and organised religion, as well as a life-long hatred of berets.

A career move into publishing saw Lia marketing non-fiction books by day and practising pagan rites by night.

One magic ritual too many saw her flee the new age scene. The result is her first novel The Fortunes of Ruby White.

Lia now lives in Adelaide with her husband Pete and their German Shepherd Kif.

I work with people to plan a menu that suits the occasion, caters for their guests and fits the budget,” he says.

Melbas on the Park – the story continues Iconic Surfers Paradise entertainment venue Melbas on the Park is reborn as the fabulously refurbished Melbas Nightclub.

Melbas recently celebrated 29 years of success by spending $3.3 million on décor, state of the art sound and lighting. It now rivals the best venues in Australia and overseas Melbas Nightclub is a sophisticated venue designed to give Gold Coast residents and visitors a cutting edge entertainment and dining destination. Director of Installation for Special Guest DJ’s Gold Coast Philip Morgan designed the sound and lighting systems by integrating the latest in technology and equipment.

Philip says it is a total sound experience delivered with crystal clear quality and absolute no distortion. “The lighting incorporates full colour lasers, LED lights, wash and spot lights.

Melbas is the first venue in Australia to utilise a large quantity of high powered LED UV (black light) panels.

“A CO2 cannon delivers shots of gas onto the dance floor at minus 17 degrees, this provides an exhilarating rush. The iconic mirror ball lights were reconditioned and retained as a tribute to Melba’s past,” Philip says. Special Guest DJ’s will work with Melbas to arrange regular guest appearances by nationally and internationally known DJs and artists.

It looks great by day and by night. A dramatic geometric design on the cocktail bar mirror, intimate furniture grouping and lighting creates a sensational ambience. The entrance features a hand-painted graphic

by Artnow Studios and a preview of the spectacular lighting show.

The refurbishment includes an additional 40 gaming machines in the gaming lounge adjacent to the restaurant and bar.

The restaurant and bar was developed in 2007 at a cost of $10 million. The popular dining and drinking venue is open for lunch and dinner until late every day including Sunday. The well-priced menu is designed to satisfy the appetite and a desire for variety.

LABEL Many Gold Coast residents recently received Notices of Intention to Resume showing the Queensland Government needs their land to build the light rail system. OMB Solicitors senior partner Simon Bennett says land owners can lodge an objection to the light rail project but unless an objection is successful the resumption of land will proceed.

Assuming the resumptions go ahead, the next step is to establish the amount of compensation to be paid to landowners. The process of determining the level of compensation is complex. Compensation can be decided by agreement or by the Land Court.

Property on the line Leading Gold Coast solicitor Simon Bennett looks at the impact of the rapid transit light rail project on landowners and bodies corporate.

“The Department of Main Roads is responsible for the light rail project. This department will pay individual land owners market value for resumed land as well as any reasonable valuation and legal costs. The matter is more complicated when property is owned by a body corporate,” Simon says.

A body corporate involves numerous parties; these include lot owners, tenants, the resident unit manager and the body corporate as a separate legal entity. Simon says the 1967 Acquisition of Land Act regulates the resumption of land but prevents a body corporate from agreeing on compensation unless a motion is passed at a general meeting of the body corporate without any objections.

“This means one lot owner can delay the process. If one party votes against accepting the compensation agreed between the body corporate committee and the government, the body corporate is unable to accept the offer.

“The body corporate must then start Land Court proceedings to determine the amount of compensation to be paid. This is risky, the amount of compensation may be reduced and the body corporate may have to pay their own legal costs as well as those costs incurred by the government.

“OMB Solicitors is experienced in protecting the rights of people involved in the resumption of land. We have a dedicated team specialising in body corporate rights,” he says. Southport based OMB Solicitors is in a prime position to help land owners and bodies corporate in the path of the light rail project.
