38 There’s so much talk about being more eco-conscience, but it’s a little hard to know exactly where to begin. I separate my recycling, compulsively switch off lights and only use my heater when I absolutely have to. So does that make me a pathetic patriot for sustainability? Probably. There’s a lot more I could be doing and I have a growing awareness about this. But my motivation and vision is not as clear as some. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone as passionate about sustainability as our Mayor Bob Abbot. He has plans for us to be the most sustainable region in the country. But what does this mean for us on a day-to-day basis? In our cover story on page 4, we spoke directly to Bob to find out exactly what his vision is, what it means, and, more importantly, how it will affect property, infrastructure and our everyday life. This eco issue of MPR is packed with information and tips on how to live more sustainably. So if you’re keen to be more green, you should read on.

Green with envy by Julie Gatehouse

Today is World Environment Day, but every day Mayor Bob Abbot is considering the future of this piece of land that 330,000 people (and counting) call home. Julie Gatehouse spoke to the mayor about his Sunshine Coast sustainability action plan.

S

climate of opportunities for work and income. No community is sustainable if its lifestyle causes inequity and suffering in the population, such as poor access to housing, health or other services.” Bob admits he wants to raise the bar high. “Unless we aspire to something utopian we won’t get anywhere near what we want,” he says. “Sustainability is the culture of a community. Our first goal as a council is to inspire

“

People understand the possible future impacts of climate change and they genuinely want to do something about it. They want leadership from their council

“

ome people think sustainability relates to population caps, biospheres and housing densities. Others reckon it’s about throwing scraps in a compost, cycling to work and installing solar power on the roof. According to the man who wants to make the Sunshine Coast the most sustainable region in the country, it means all this and more. Bob Abbot was elected mayor in a landslide vote 14 months ago partly thanks to his ‘green’ credentials on Noosa Council since 1982. But he doesn’t want residents to be overwhelmed. He says sustainability is simply about finding balance in all aspects of our individual and community lives. “There’s already a strong desire in our community to be sustainable,” he says. “People understand the possible future impacts of climate change and they genuinely want to do something about it. They want leadership from their council.” The Sunshine Coast Regional Council released its Corporate Plan 2009-2014 on June 1. The plan outlines the council’s strategies for becoming “vibrant, green and diverse”. The big challenge, it describes, is to ensure the region can support growth “without eroding our environmental, economic and social values”. Bob is quick to point out what sustainability isn’t. “No community is sustainable if it takes more from its natural environment than it puts back,” he says. “No community is sustainable if it doesn’t create an economic

and create a real understanding of where we live and what individuals can do to realise our goals.” Take waste, for example. The council wants the Coast to be “waste to landfill neutral” by 2020. “It’s a very big ask but waste is a major contributor across the world to global warming through carbon emissions,” says the mayor. A taskforce has been set up to look at how the Coast uses, stores and recycles its waste. The idea is

for virtually all rubbish to be recycled in some form – organics into the soil, building materials back into the industry or energy, chemicals into special processes. Every home owner needs to use wheelie bins wisely and recycle as much as possible at home to reduce the amount dumped at tips. Businesses must do the same. Protecting natural waterways from contamination and drought to ensure quality supplies into the future is another environmental example where work done at a government level can be supported locally. While the council and State Government deal with the multimillion-dollar SEQ Water Grid, residents and businesses can install rain tanks, limit household water consumption and fit water-saving devices. An affordable and efficient public transport network is high on Bob’s agenda. “We’re determined to have this system operational within 15 years,” he says. “It includes a Multi-Modal Transport Corridor along the spine of the Coast and a local Coast Connect network of buses or light rail that allows people to travel across the system.” Councillors and staff are working with the State Government on providing this infrastructure. But reducing people’s reliance on cars to cut emissions and improve lifestyle is about more than building railway stations and bike lanes. Travellers have to build a culture of public transport use. That’s one of the values being incorporated into a new regional plan, which will

There will be parts of our community where people will pay a premium for property and that’s good for the industry. But housing affordability is also key and sustainability is our highest priority

“

Bob Abbott

We’re now in ‘Green June’. It’s a month of activities organised by Sunshine Coast Regional Council to celebrate World Environment Day on June 5. On the Coast, it’s about making local communities and businesses sustainable. Councillor Keryn Jones says activities include seminars and workshops about native plants, eco-renovating, composting and butterflies, an art show, recycling tour and water festival. It will culminate in the Sunshine Coast World Environment Day festival on June 28.

The concept of sustainability reaches from top political levels to our leaders of the future. Queensland has a Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change (Kate Jones) and the University of the Sunshine Coast this year established a Graduate Certificate in Sustainability and a Sustainability Research Centre that focuses on communities and environments.

Back to basics To sustain means to bear the weight of something without giving way. The Macquarie dictionary defines sustainable development as ‘economic development designed to meet present needs while taking into account future costs including those to the environment and depletion of natural resources’.

Healthy Waterways win Many Coast dwellers live on some of the state’s healthiest waterways. Last month, the Sunshine Coast Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) program won the Minister’s Grand Prize and the Government category at the 2009 Healthy Waterways Awards. The Healthy Waterways Awards recognises and rewards the outstanding achievements of groups and individuals who devote their time to the waterways of South-East Queensland. Environmental portfolio councillor Keryn Jones, accepting the awards on council’s behalf, said work and partnerships are needed to deliver council’s vision to make the Coast Australia’s most sustainable region.

“

The awards recognise that good management practices, such as those required by council’s ESC program, can lessen the impact of rapid population growth and urban development on the environment. To Mooloolah River Waterwatch and Landcare for their wildlife corridor works on Caloundra Road duplication and the Department of Environment and Research and Noosa Landcare for their research on the Noosa River estuary

Targeting business What is the council’s role in economic development?

“

Council aims to create a dynamic business environment that secures prosperity through sustainable growth and adds to the Sunshine Coast’s high quality of life

“

Objectives include: 1. Creating the right climate for business growth using regional competitive advantages 2. Ensuring the development of necessary infrastructure to facilitate employment in a digital economy 3. Diversifying the economy by identifying future employment types 4. Ensuring development enhances quality of life and contributes to sustainable communities 5. Encouraging enterprise innovation 6. Raising the skills of local people.

“

replace the three existing town plans. Again, there’s a time frame – October 2012. Bob says people will notice the changes in their daily lives. “As we revitalise or create new town centres such as Maroochydore, Kawana and Sippy Downs, people will find parking more difficult to find. That’s because public transport will become the quickest, easiest and cheapest way of getting in and out of these centres.” At the core of the new town plan will be sustainable development. For the mayor, this means balancing economic and population growth with lifestyle and environmental protection. And yes, it starts with a population cap. “The jargon has been misinterpreted but it’s simply the number of people planned for in any given community,” he says. “It’s about setting the population we think is appropriate for our community and defending it.” Try Bob’s farming analogy. “What we did successfully in Noosa and what we want to do on the whole Coast is look at the carrying capacity of our property. See how many cows we can carry on our cattle station and plan from there, rather than drive a mob of cattle onto it and hope it holds.” Recent forecasts put the Coast’s growth at around two per cent, but Bob points out it’s been as high as five per cent while the rest of Australia is about 1.5 per cent. He believes the national rate is far more desirable, especially in terms of planning for development. “When new people come here looking for housing, we can’t keep spreading into urban sprawl and taking up valuable farming and environmentally sensitive land,” he says. “We have to consider more densification in city areas.” High-rise is not such a dirty word, as long as it’s strategically located. “The concept of transport-oriented developments will allow increased density and facilities in town centres so people can live, work and play relatively close to beaches,” he says. The newly approved Maroochydore Centre Position Paper, for example, continues to permit residential zoning of up to 10 storeys. “It won’t affect people who already live here,” Bob says. “I’m not saying they should live in that environment. But newcomers won’t necessarily want to come on to quarter-acre blocks.” What about new land sales? “The planning scheme will be written in such a way that the release of land will be reliant on future strategic issues. We won’t release land or approve applications that are not necessary or beyond the bounds of the scheme.” The State Government has fast-tracked Palmview and Caloundra South. The Mayor envisages Palmview as an area of more affordable single dwellings (under $400,000) and units joined by a ‘green link’ to Kawana town centre and surrounds. It’ll be the perfect suburb to house workers for the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital, due to create 5000 jobs in five years’ time. “It could be a place where a worker with a young family doesn’t have to pay through the neck for a home,” Bob says. “And if their 14-year-old son can jump on a bus to Kawana beach with a surfboard on one shoulder,

The buzz word

The ESC program was developed to minimise the impact that erosion, sediment run-off and turbid water pollution from urban development activities has on the region’s waterways.

Council’s clear vision The Sunshine Coast Regional Council declared its vision to be Australia’s most sustainable – vibrant, green and diverse – region with the ofďŹ cial launch of its corporate plan on June 1, during Local Government Week 2009. Deputy Mayor and corporate planning and performance portfolio holder Tim Dwyer says the corporate plan “identiďŹ es the priorities for council to 2014 and beyond. It also guides council’s decision-making, budget, operations and resource allocations to achieve our vision.â€? In this new plan, there were seven emerging ecological sustainability themes, which will become a priority over the next ďŹ ve years. The ecological sustainability themes were: s )MPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE Understanding climate change and adapting and responding to it. In partnership with the government and community, the council aims to develop and implement energy-transition and greenhouse gas-reduction strategies. Also to provide quality transport networks, linked walkways and cycle ways and promote alternatives to private car usage, such as buses and a light rail. s .ATURAL ENVIRONMENT PRESERVED FOR OUR FUTURE s (EALTHY WATERWAYS AND FORESHORES Develop

and implement a coastal management strategy looking at the dunes, foreshores and biodiversity in those areas. Maintaining beaches, lakes, rivers and wetlands and canals, and improve and maintain the quality and consider the impact of development moving forward. s 6IABLE ECOSYSTEMS THAT MAINTAIN BIODIVERSITY VALUES s )NNOVATIVE PROGRAMS TO PROTECT OUR ECOLOGY s %NVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY INFRASTRUCTURE AND URBAN DESIGN Includes ensuring developments meet high standards of ecological sustainability and urban design; developing guidelines to promote excellence in ecological sustainable design with architects, designers, environmental groups and the development industry; reviewing council’s infrastructure design and procedures and policies to maximise sustainable outcomes. s )NTEGRATED WATER CYCLE MANAGEMENT To ensure efďŹ cient supply of quality drinking water and encourage sustainable use of water and ensure safe treatment of sewerage and waste. Manage stormwater ows and ooding on communities and future land developments. To ďŹ nd out more visit www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

then that’s fabulous.� That’s sustainable lifestyle. Bob says the greenfield site of Caloundra South is expected to be a mix of housing, but he insists that public transport infrastructure must be in place before this development begins. Overall, he says the new planning scheme will offer consistency of approach and decision-making to developers. “It will be predictable and give the property industry some guarantees,� he says. “There will be parts of our community where people will pay a premium for property and that’s good for the industry. But housing affordability is also key and sustainability is our highest priority.� And what of that other pesky piece of jargon, the ‘biosphere’? The Noosa Biosphere Reserve was established 12 years ago under UNESCO. It’s one of hundreds listed around the world for their innovative approaches to biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. A draft management plan for the Noosa biosphere is now on the council’s website and open for public comment until June 26. Its goal is to create “a learning community that cultivates harmony between people and nature�. Bob says it’s a great inspiration that could be expanded. “I’ve always had the view that it would be fabulous to have a biosphere for the hinterland, if not the whole Coast,� he says. “It could extend from Brisbane Forest Park through the D’Aguilar Range, Maleny, Montville, Nambour, Yandina, through Cooloola and into the Fraser Island world heritage zone. Having a declared international biosphere reserve – wouldn’t that be a fabulous marketing tool for the Sunshine Coast?�

their fresh produce, making them almost fully selfsufficient, something few people can lay claim to. “We grow mangoes, bananas, paw paws, oranges, mandarins, lemons, lychees, dragon fruit, chocolate pudding fruit, herbs, lettuce, spinach, pumpkins, nuts, eggplants and rocket,” Bob says. ‘We even have coffee growing in the under forest.” “We call it our own food forest,” Chris adds. “It’s a pretty wild garden and nothing’s in a pot, so you need to know where to find things.” Bob says they even have edible fish in the dam, including bass, yellow belly and spangle perch, and their

We need to change our lifestyles in order to create more balance. Nature puts on everything we need, so why not use it?

“

ob and Chris Cameron are owners of Sunshine Coast business Rockcote, a company that specialises in the production of environmentally friendly renders, textures and paints. Bob and Chris’s commitment to green living has earned the company international awards, but the couple also has an ongoing pledge to live and breathe the environment in their personal lives. Visit Chris and Bob’s Eumundi property and you’ll witness first-hand how this couple, along with their daughter Jess, continue to walk the green walk. They don’t just claim to be green, they live it and have been doing so since long before saving the environment became a fashionable cause. The Cameron family has owned the 14-acre property for 18 years, moving from their home in Yandina (the original Rockcote site) to Eumundi to build their dream home and explore a more organic way of life. When they purchased the property, it wasn’t much more than a bare paddock, void of trees. In 1995, Bob and Chris reafforested it, creating a unique ecosystem, something Bob is incredibly proud of. Today their lush, green property is home to guinea fowl, king snakes, pigeons and possums, to name just a few of the critters who share the land with the Camerons. “We don’t allow chemicals and pesticides on our land and we compost all of our own waste on site,” Bob explains. “We live in accordance with permaculture principles.” As members of Permaculture Noosa, it’s no surprise that Chris and Bob have worked hard to create a wildlife corridor on their land, which includes a dam and a lake, scattered with water lilies, at the entrance of the property. The property is also home to a substantial organic farm that provides the Camerons with the majority of

chickens also do their bit to add to the organic produce, courtesy of farm fresh eggs. The family also makes is own organic bread, yoghurt and cheese. Clearly proud of his masterpiece, Bob is completely committed to the property’s upkeep and spends hours tending to his fruit and vegetables. “Bob spends at least an hour every morning in the garden before he goes to work,” Chris explains. “It’s his passion and I guess it’s also how he gets his exercise. He loves it.” The Camerons live in a stunning Mediterraneaninspired home designed with energy-efficient principles. Even 17 years ago, when the slab for the home was laid, the Camerons were clearly thinking green. “Bob describes our house as a cross between a Santa

ron are pioneering eco

-friendly organic livi

ng

Fe villa and a wool shed, with a little Asian influence thrown in,” Chris jokes. The home is indeed a unique mishmash of styles that works brilliantly and suits the family’s organic lifestyle and personality. The colour palette features terracotta, azure blue and rustic yellow, all perfectly matched to the style of the home. The couple’s commitment to living green was clearly just as strong when they built the house as their design focuses heavily on the use of natural light and airflow, negating the need for air-conditioning. It is open plan and faces the north-east. Features include four bedrooms, a craft room, tennis court and pool. The most appealing feature of the property is the outdoor entertainment area, overlooking the pool. This area boasts an outdoor kitchen and bar complete with rustic pizza oven, built by Bob, of course. The Camerons often entertain and this alfresco area provides the perfect venue for their guests to sample one of their famous wood-fired pizzas. “I have actually invented a new type of pizza oven,” Bob explains. “I call it a piadoori oven as it’s a cross between a pizza oven and a Tandoori oven. My design ensures a more energy-efficient process.” So why are Bob and Chris so committed to living an organic existence? “I guess it’s all about the simple things and understanding more about the staples in life,” Bob says. “We need to change our lifestyles in order to create more balance. Nature puts on everything we need, so why not use it? I suspect more people are starting to live this way because it makes good economic sense too.”

Sprouting from rooftops Once a novelty, the concept of including a green roof in buildings is ‘growing’ all over the world. Toronto City Council passed a green roof by-law that requires up to 50 per cent green roof coverage on new multi-unit residential dwellings over six storeys, schools, non-profit housing, commercial and industrial buildings.

other councils to follow suit in the near future and now they’re sprouting atop many public buildings in Australia. Green Roofs involve the use of specialised plants, engineered growing media and high-quality waterproofing that allows you to grow plants on the rooftops of buildings. Extensive green roofs are lightweight, low-cost and lowmaintenance systems. Intensive green roofs (also known as rooftop gardens) are heavier, requiring more investment and maintenance and are often accessible to occupants and the public. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, benefits of a green roof include reduced air pollution and fossil energy use, reduced peak run-off of roof water, reduced organic matter going into landfill, longer roof life and a reduction in the ‘heat island effects’ of cities. As the many social, economic and environmental benefits of a green roof are increasingly understood, the green roof industry is growing.

Garage daze by Dorothy Drane

The double garage door dominates many a suburban street on the Sunshine Coast. MPR’s columnists looks at why, and wonders if it really is the best way to design our new homes. decade or so back, I attended the presentation of a master plan for a new Sunshine Coast estate. One of the most interesting points raised, which has stayed with me since, was that we are such a motor-vehicle oriented society that even our houses are introduced by our cars. Take a drive through any new suburb and you’ll see what I mean. From a street perspective, the dominant view is lines of neutral-coloured double garage doors. You pull up a driveway in front of these blank double garage doors and then wander off to find the front door. Quite often, an elegant door is concealed behind a garden or portico, reached through a gate and is generally less than inviting to a visitor who by now is feeling more like a trespasser than a guest. Streetscapes are full of them. New home after new home with a blank double garage door as its major visual contribution to the street. Of course we are motor-vehicle driven around these

A

parts – the appalling public transport services leave us no choice – but wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to wear our cars on our sleeve, as it were. The proposal being put up for the new estate in the mid-’90s, was to have rear-lane entrances for vehicles, which would also be inconspicuous spots to put the bins out for the garbage trucks, leaving the street front clear for more welcoming entrances and pedestrian space. Narrow rear lanes are not new. The concept has been working to good effect among some of the old terraces in Sydney for more than a century. It again brings to mind the old Queenslander, which encouraged human interaction in the streets by providing recreation space at the front door. What is it with our 21st century wish to remain anonymous at all costs, even if it means closing down the front of our homes to the street with blank double garage doors? The answer could be as simple as the

fact that because we drive everywhere, it makes sense to give the car and its accommodation pride of place in our lives. Visitors arrive by car, not by foot, and if we are heading out, we jump in the car. We have our friends to visit, quickly and conveniently reached by car, so we don’t want to have our neighbours peeking into our lives any more. We drive to shopping centres more than we wander to the corner store. Our streets are for cars, not for kids, although it was nice to see a little boy running his remote-controlled car around a backstreet in Cotton Tree the other day. Now before I start sounding like some old fogy hankering after a bygone era – I’m not that old, for goodness sake, even though it may sometimes sound that way – I hasten to add that yes, times have changed, a lot. We do things differently because that is just the way society has evolved and there are some very good reasons for this,

practicality and safety being large among them. But is it really so evil to have homes that contribute to a friendly street as much as provide for harmony and convenience inside? Would it really be so bad to have cars parked around the back or underneath the house, which can then present a welcoming face to the street? The only answer I can come up with is money, the usual offender in these things. As land has increasingly become a premium and allotments have become smaller, the luxury of a long driveway down the side and around the back of the house would be just wasteful, I guess. Architects and designers, who obviously know so much more about these things than the end users who cop what they get under slick marketing banners, will no doubt continue to move forward, wherever that may be, and who knows, a new generation might take a fresh perspective on some very old ideas. That would be nice.

Green ways to stay warm The weather’s cooling down and the days are getting shorter, so how do you stay toasty without harming the planet this winter? Follow these tips, that’s how.

Rug up

Floor it

On the draught hunt

Updating your soft furnishings is an inexpensive way to add warmth to a room. Extra cushions and blankets on the beds, throw rugs and on couches, even seat cushions on dining chairs can cosy up your home. Choose natural fibres that are both breathable and warm and snuggle up to these rather than turning on the heater. Choose cushions and throws in neutral colours to complement your furniture, or, if you’re feeling bold, add a splash of colour with warm reds, burnt oranges and earthy hy tones, which are in season this year..

We love our tiles and timber floors on the Sunshine Coast – they are easy to clean and cool our living areas in the long summer months, but in winter tiles and timber floors can make a room seem chilly. Throw down some rugs and mats to warm up tiled rooms. In high-traffic areas, be sure to choose colours that will hide the dirt in materials that can handle punishment. You can spend as little or as much as you want on rugs, but remember good rugs in natural fibres such as wool and silk are an investment that will last a lifetime.

Draughts can let in the cool air from outside as well as providing a means of escape for the air in the house that you have spent money and time trying to heat. To find draughts, listen for any whistling around doors, vents, stairways and skirting boards. Those bean-filled snakes at the bottom of doors are a great way to prevent heat loss. Block vents and fireplaces to prevent the cold air coming in there and keep the doors closed to well-ventilated rooms such as bathrooms, toilets and laundries to stop cold air invading living areas and bedrooms.

Mind the gap

Let the sun shine

Insulate it

Windows on older homes especially can be surprisingly leaky, but even new homes let in breezes, and windows are the big offenders. There are lots of products on the market that are designed to seal gaps around leaky windows, including draught strips and seals, and weather strips. Talk to your local hardware expert to find a product that best suits you and your home.

We are blessed on the Coast that while the temperature may drop, the sun often still shines in winter, so save a few dollars on your heating bill and let nature do its bit. As the day warms up, open up the curtains in the rooms that ce catch the sun and let it shine. Once he the sun leaves that room, close the curtains to retain the heat – it’s a very simple technique but it makes a huge difference to the temperature of the room.

All of these heat-saving measures will be a waste if your home is poorlyy insulated to begin with. Insulation controls heat transfer and its lue performance is measured by its R-value – the higher this value, the greater resistance the insulation has to heat flow into the home in summer and out of it during winter. There are other things to consider when buying insulation, such its safety rating and whether you need bulk or reflective. Ask an expert on what type is best suited to your home and needs.

It’s a turn-off

Get in the mood

In a spin

Before you reach for the fossil fuel- and cash-burning heater, pop on a few extra layers of clothes. A pair of socks and fluffy jumper can make you feel just as toasty as an expensive-to-run heater. In bed, turn off the electric blanket and snuggle up to the hot water bottle instead. he planet. Much cheaper and better for the

Because we have fewer hours of sunlight during the colder months, it’s tempting to turn on the lights at 5pm. So now is a good time to rethink your lights – switch over to greener bulbs if you haven’t already done so – and be sure to turn off lights when you leave the room. If you are snuggling up on the couch, turn off the lights altogether and light a few candles – romantic and energy-saving!

Okay, so it’s the Sunshine Coast not northern Europe – do you really need to turn to the dryer when the weather turns grey on washing day? If you haven’t already, invest in a couple of indoor clothes horses to hang your smalls on during rainy days. To aid drying, pop the clothes in the warmest room in the house by an open window. Even on cold days they will dry fairly quickly.

New in town by Dorothy Drane

One of the region’s largest real estate groups has moved into Nambour. RE/MAX Acclaimed is now open in the town, to better service buyers and sellers in the Sunshine Coast hinterland and beyond. E/MAX has become the biggest single ownership real estate group on the Sunshine Coast following its move into Nambour. RE/MAX Acclaimed is operating from the corner of Currie and Howard streets, and has some well-known industry faces inside – including Graeme Hennell, Nev Mayfield and John Pyne. On the front counter is Lurline Tripcony, who is also known among many families in Nambour, having worked at St Joseph’s Primary School for 17 years. “There are three consultants in the office right now and we also have a substantial network of agents supporting them,� says director of RE/MAX Property, Tim Burrough. “The Nambour office is an important part of the puzzle, as we have already established offices in Buderim, Mooloolaba, Caloundra and Coolum. “Having Nambour now means all our agents can work together as a team

R

across the central Sunshine Coast and can refer business throughout the area.� Tim says Nambour is a key centre and a good market, particularly in the current economic climate. “The vision from the outset of the company was to dominate market share in the central Sunshine Coast, which we define as Coolum to Caloundra and the hinterland,� he says. “The hinterland is best served out of Nambour, as it is central to Eumundi in the north, back into the range and then south to Palmwoods and Woombye, where we are already very strong.� He says property prices in Nambour attract first-home buyers, families and retirees. Because the group’s average sale price is $525,000, buyers who can’t come into the market at that level will now be better serviced by the Nambour office. “The average price range of property in Buderim and Mooloolaba can’t satisfy all

buyers, but because of its price point, Nambour can provide them with opportunities,� Tim says. “It’s a great town and we feel that there is a great opportunity to have an improved level of real estate practice there.� But Tim adds that there are a lot of higher priced property nestled in the hinterland, such as in Dulong and Palmwoods, not all of it necessarily being bought by “people walking down the street in Nambour�. This means the RE/MAX group can effectively use its extensive central Sunshine Coast network to reach top-end buyers and sellers. “The business already sells a lot of top-end property, so we have got an entree into the higher priced buyers because we do have a lot of higher priced listings,� Tim says. “We think there is an advantage for clients to have their listings with 66 agents across the group. “We meet a lot more buyers and bring

more buyers to their door through the bigger group, which also takes in the national and international RE/MAX group. We also have the website and because we list and sell so many properties in the area, the website is very well supported.� Tim says Nambour is considered an important centre and RE/MAX already has a lot of contacts there. “We’ve had a lot of people asking us to go to Nambour and the group of agents already does quite a bit of business in the town,� he says. “There are lot of people in Nambour, including major employers such as the council and hospital, and we want to be able to offer these clients the benefits that come from being part of the bigger brand. “We will be looking to grow our market share rapidly through recruiting the right people,� he says. “The culture of the company has been built on having good client relationships.�

Some quick tips to keeping your rental property in top shape. certain amount of wear and tear is unavoidable when letting your property to tenants. And as a landlord, there are some things you need to consider long term, when letting your property. Tamara Wrigley from Carolan’s First National real estate has given us her top tips to keeping an investment property maintained and rentable. • Budget to paint internally every five to seven years – depending on the tenancy turnover. • Paint throughout in a light neutral colour (preferably not white) and use washable paint. • Clean gutters regularly as a build up of leaves can lead to internal leaks. • Re-grout tiles in the bathrooms and kitchens to freshen appearance. • Replace floor coverings every seven to

eight years and replace curtains and blinds every five to six years. Don’t lay soft vinyl flooring as this is more inclined to show wear and tear. Select good-quality, hard-wearing carpet in a neutral colour with quality underlay when replacing carpet. Continually assess upgrading the security on your property. Security screens on all windows and doors or alternatively alarm systems are very appealing to tenants. Budget to freshen up the gardens and yard between tenancies. Cut back trees that are near gutters or fences and re-bark the gardens. Arrange to have annual termite inspections on your property.

• Annual pest control for cockies is also a requirement and should be done regularly.

From DIY blunders to hints and advice, let Jade, Todd and Dave solve your home project queries before things go horribly wrong. home@mypropertyreview.com.au

Q

My husband and I have just bought ourselves a little fixer-upper and I am desperate to start renovating. Almost all the rooms from the kitchen and bathroom to the bedrooms and living room need sprucing up. Where should I start? Jess, Wurtulla Todd

Jade

photo: greg gardner

Dave

Jade: It sounds like you want it to be a work in progress, so I’d suggest starting with the rooms that are bothering you most. The wet areas (bathrooms, kitchen and laundry) should all be done at the same time – and generally these areas are the most ann annoying ones to live with so I’d start there. if they’re a bit rundown, run If you just want tto temporarily freshen it up, you could go straight for the th magic three: floors, p paint and window furnishings. Changing fu these th three things is relatively rela cost-effective, qui and easy and can quick mak a huge improvement. make W Jess you should Todd: Well a sort of reno, shouldn’t know any rush into as the results can be rushed be cata catastrophic (think Mickey Rourke face). I recommend an Rourke’s easy-as easy-as-she-goes tiger approach start with a planning starting se session at your hubby’s best

mate’s joint tonight (Indian takeaway and Friday night footy). Follow this with a debriefing over a fisherman’s basket and a couple of UDLs and then maybe take a stroll through Bunnings to get the ‘reno’ vibe. Pick up some brochures and put them all in a folder labelled ‘Our Project’ along with your carpet samples and piccies of the rug you want from Rugs A Million, who coincidently are having an overstocked crisis sale, again. You can do all this, or simply write to Scotty Cam at Channel Nine and sit back and watch the Domestic Blitz team take over! Dave: Jess, the best place to start any renovation is in a marriage counsellor’s waiting room because that’s where most renovation projects end up. Approach with caution. Your eagerness to get stuck in is commendable and renos are exciting for the first five, maybe 10 minutes but you need to curb your enthusiasm, sister. You being ‘desperate’ to renovate is akin to me being ‘desperate’ to slam my genitals in a car door. It’s widely known that the CIA, when testing the stress levels of potential agents, drop them in a bathroom with a box full of blunt tools and make them renovate their way out. Many are carried out with blunt force trauma to their heads after trying to dull the pain. It’s the quintessential litmus test. But if you’re still keen Jess, knock yourself out.

DIY BLUNDER I was renovating my bathroom and got a friend of a friend in to plumb the shower. When I met this man at the door I was surprised to see that he was about five-foot tall. Thinking nothing of it I led him into the bathroom and let him plumb away while I went to work. It wasn’t until weeks later, after the tilers had finished up, that I finally had my first shower in my new bathroom. I peeled off my clothes and jumped in only to be shot in the neck by my new high-powered shower head. The plumber had installed it for someone no taller than him and now whenever I wash my hair I have to lean right over. My advice: never employ a plumber shorter than you.

Green is good by Jessica Ainscough

Reducing your carbon footprint – and saving some dollars on energy and water bills – starts at home. Here are a few simple tips to help you green up your life.

A

Wet, wet, wet Solving our water crisis can be done without new dams and unnecessary expensive infrastructure. It’s as simple as minimising the amount of water we use. Saving water also means saving money – and if it’s hot water, you’re saving on your energy bill as well. The best way to save water at home is to install a rainwater tank to collect this under-used resource. Not only can you use the water for your garden, but you can also connect the tank to the toilet, laundry, hot water systems or even the whole house. It’s also a good idea to switch to water-efficient appliances. Older appliances like washing machines, dishwashers and toilets will use more water than newer models. When upgrading, look for the star rating. The

more stars, the more water efficient the product is. Choose a four-star dual flush toilet. The half flush uses three litres and a full flush just 4.5 litres – much less than an old standard cistern, which uses 11 litres. When watering your garden, avoid getting the hose out in the heat of the day or when it’s overly windy. The water will only evaporate or blow away before it reaches the plant roots.

Flick the switch Like water, saving energy in your home will also save you money. Reduce your energy consumption or switch

wise frog once said, “It’s not easy being green.” This may have been the case way back when Kermit waxed lyrical about the challenges of being this particular pigment, but these days going green is simple – if you’re in the know. As Sunshine Coasters, we’re fortunate to live in such a beautiful environment. By international standards, we are in pretty good condition. Not only do we have access to clean air, water and food, but the majority of us live close enough to beautiful beaches and national parks to take them for granted. Despite the fact that we are a small nation in terms of population, Australia has the sixth largest ecological footprint in the world. Being so unenvironmentally friendly damages not just our planet, but our hip pockets as well. Going green starts at home, so here are a few things we can all do to for the planet. Try it – it’s easy.

to energy sources that don’t produce carbon dioxide, that damaging greenhouse gas. The best way to cut the amount of greenhouse gas emissions coming from your home is to switch to GreenPower, which is electricity derived from renewable energy sources like wind and solar instead of coal. Switching to GreenPower will add around $5 a week to your electricity bill, but you can save this money by becoming more energy efficient around the home. Install a solar hot water system, choose appliances

with a high energy rating, install roof insulation, turn electrical equipment off instead of leaving on stand by and switch to compact fluorescent light (CFL) globes. Do all this and you should significantly minimise the impact your home has on climate change.

Build it up If you’re really serious about reducing your carbon footprint, using sustainable materials and eco-friendly products when building your dream home is the only way to go. Paul Kirkland from Eco Dream, an environmentally friendly home building company, says products to source include environmentally friendly carpet underlay, eco-friendly non-toxic paints, and timber from certified sustainably managed forests. Paul says timbers such as pine, bamboo and stringybark are popular products used in many eco homes.

Can you dig it? Aside from being water wise, there are a few ways you can make your garden greener than it already is. First, plant less lawn and more plants, as lawns use up the most water. Secondly, plant a garden that is well suited to Australia’s natural cycles. Growing a healthy, nontoxic garden is also important. Keep your garden chemical free by feeding the soil with organic matter like manure and compost instead of fertilisers. As well as providing a habitat and food for birds and insects, growing native Australian plants in your garden will create a natural balance between flora and fauna and improve the biodiversity of our environment.

A grand design God is in the detail in Grandview Homes’ latest display house, the Harvard.

he Harvard, from Grandview Homes, is designed with versatility and functionality in mind. The ideas here are fresh, but the home’s design exudes a timeless elegant statement. The entry is inviting through the hardwood pivot door and the house flows elegantly around the huge retreat/lounge area. The zoning of the house is the key to its success – it offers a possible five bedrooms and five living areas (the activity games room could become a fifth bedroom). The home’s main bathroom and powder room double as the second ensuite. The other living area includes the meals and family rooms surrounding the kitchen. This area opens up to the undercover patio through stacking doors and a seamless butt-joint window. The kitchen is a focus point and features an island bench, CaesarStone benches, large pantry and Kleenmaid appliances. With climatic design in mind the house has solar block glass and security screened windows to allow for secure breezeways. The ensuite is the masterpiece of the house. A walk-around robe at the head of the bed offers his and her exclusive dressing rooms. The ensuite flows from the bed area with a massive podium bath, twin wash basins, separate toilet and oversized shower. The details of the house include coffered ceilings, square-set details, columns, dwarf walls and more. Texture is very much the key to the finish, with patterned tiled areas a standard feature.

Eco-friendly home by Brad Thompson

It’s all in the stars when it comes to green houses. he typical Queensland home generates 11 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year. That’s the equivalent of operating two cars. In recent years, an escalating reliance on air-conditioners and other household appliances has increased energy consumption by an average of 10 per cent per year. A key initiative for the federal and state governments is the energy rating of a house, and since 2003 houses built in Queensland must have achieved a minimum energy equivalent rating of 3.5 to four stars. However, from 2009, government regulations require all new houses and renovations be built to a five-star (out of 10) energy equivalent rating. Sustainable homes are designed to take advantage of environmental and site constraints to minimise outside energy-input requirements. Elements taken into consideration include:

T

Orientation Northern orientation for living rooms, with low-use rooms (garages, bathrooms and laundry) facing west. Building shell Roof ventilation and insulation for ceilings, walls and flooring. Use light colours for roof and walls. Glaze windows and seal floors. Attach outdoor rooms to an internal living area. Use eaves and awnings for shade. Ventilation Natural ventilation via windows and doorways; ceiling fans and whirlybirds are excellent alternatives to air conditioning. Along with the use of solar and water collection devices and renewable materials these all form the fundamental components to reduce negative environmental impact. Brad Thompson is a qualified builder with a diploma in environmental management.

Quick DIY tips: very renovator wants to do the job in the most cost-effective way, and the one area many try to scrimp on is the painting. After all, how hard can it be to grab a brush, crack a paint can and start covering the walls with lashings of glorious colour? But just as you start feeling great about the dollars you’re saving, things start to go wrong. Before you begin, here are few quick DIY tips to keep you out of trouble. • Paint for purpose: Use mouldresistant paints for bathrooms, wash-and-wears for living areas and durable acrylics for exteriors.

E

• Buy the best tools: Getting the best brushes and rollers you can afford will make the job easier. • Keep it clean: Lay canvas drop sheets or old bed sheets over furniture and floors to prevent accidents. • Prepare: All surfaces should be sanded, cleaned and thoroughly dried before you start. • Follow the painting sequence: 1) clean and sand surfaces, 2) paint all interior woodwork, 3) paint the ceiling by first cutting in the edges and rollering the rest, 4) paint one wall at a time by cutting in then rollering.

Pelican is flying ahead

Popular estate is selling fast

The final stage release of the new Beaches precinct at Pelican Waters is selling now.

Maroochydore lots run hot.

ast weekend, Pelican Waters released the final stage of its new precinct called The Beaches, with the last 22 home sites offered for sale. Prices for the home sites start at an affordable $260,000. Six home sites were sold over the weekend. The average size of residential home sites in this final stage of The Beaches is 742 square metres with an average price of $285,000, which represents great value in the suburb. The ongoing master-planned community development at Pelican Waters continues to be a sought-after location for buyers. “Contracts of sale for waterfront, water-view and residential home sites for the month of May have exceeded last year’s numbers and are on track to be the highest on record,” says CEO, Geoff Coleman. Contact 5492 3055 or visit the Pelican Waters land sales display village at Columba Place.

eppertree at Maroochydore has almost sold out in just five months since its launch, with only two of its 22 lots left for sale. The estate’s central position is a popular selling point, with much interest generated for stage two. “It is a one-off estate and I think everybody realises that if they don’t buy it now they may never get another chance,” says marketing agent Debbie Johnston from RealWay Maroochydore. “The driving factor is position. It is a little hidden gem in the heart of Maroochydore.” The secure, gated estate is an exclusive enclave of just 35 lots in an area where most of the land has already been given over to commercial zonings. The last eight allotments sit on the eastern edge of the community, opposite the central park and oriented to the north-east. Prices start at $259,000. Phone 5479 1400 for more information.
