Anyone who’s lived on the Coast for a decent amount of time will reminisce about the days when traffic lights and roundabouts were practically nonexistent, the days when the Coast was nothing more than a string of sleepy, beachside towns. More than 20 years on and we are gearing up for one of the most exciting CBD developments to ever hit the Coast. Grand plans for the mixed-use development, Emporio, were revealed to the team at My Property Review this week and we all agree that this exciting new vision will bring a much-needed sprinkling of sophistication and cosmopolitan flair to Maroochydore’s thriving town centre. Our cover story (which is part one of a four-part series on infrastructure) reveals what Emporio will mean to the somewhat shifting CBD of Maroochydore, and will give you an exclusive sneak peek at the grand plans earmarked for our beautiful region.

A four-step guide to bidding at auction The property you like is going to auction and you’re not sure how to go about buying it. This easy-step guide will have you bidding like a pro in no time.
or a lot of buyers (yours truly included), auctions can be nerve-racking experiences. I will never forget bidding at my first auction. Even after calling 2000 auctions personally, I was nervous to be on the other side for once. But I guess it was all that research on the area and property that I had done that gave me the confidence to bid and buy. I also knew my strategy, and was ready to buy. There are so many different strategies come auction day. Some people like to come in low and dictate the flow of the auction, whereas others like to come in with one bold bid to try to knock everyone else out. Most people, however, like to wait and see what happens. One thing is for sure, though, regardless of what strategy you like to adopt, if you don’t bid you will not buy the property. In most cases with auctions, there will be conditional interest waiting, hoping and praying for a property to pass in so that they can come in after the auction with terms on their contract. If you have gone to the trouble of getting yourself in
F
a position to be able to bid unconditionally, then bid. Don’t hold back! Remember, if you miss your chance on auction day then you are straight back in line with all of the other conditional interest. It is a misconception with auctions that the highest bidder on auction day get the so-called ‘first right’ at the seller’s reserve (this used to be the case but it ended in the late 1990s). Therefore if a property is passed in, everyone will get a shot at the property, and you lose your advantage. Don’t be shy, and don’t hold back. Have a strategy and know your limits. Always remember that auction day gives you the best opportunity to clearly and transparently assess where market value is. It’s all done in the open forum where you can know and see everything that goes on, rather than behind closed doors. Hold up your paddle, sing out your bid, and enjoy the experience.
Ken Guy Noosa and Maroochydore auctioneer Anthony Gorman offers this bidding advice:
“
Set your limit over a round number. Most buyers will seek finance approval for around something like $500,000. The difference in being successful on the day might be only $15,000 above that mark, so set your limit just above the most appropriate round number. And be sure to bid strongly and confidently. This can give the impression that you have deeper pockets than you do and bluff the other buyers into giving up
“

Happy buying, Jason Andrew

1. Get ready
3. Going up
Remember, there are no terms and conditions for contracts sold under the hammer at auction (unless specifically approved pre-auction). This means you need to have all of your finances in order because once yours becomes the winning bid, it is pretty much the same as a cash contract. This also means you need to have building and pest inspections conducted before the auction, should you want these in place before you purchase. Under the hammer, a contract will be a standard 30-day settlement and the five-day cooling-off period does not apply.
6 0 5 3
At the very start of the auction, the auctioneer will introduce the property and will invite an opening bid from the crowd. Should an opening bid not come forth, the auctioneer can place a vendor bid – this is a bid on behalf of the vendor to get the auction started. The auctioneer will usually determine the increments at which the bidding price will jump up by. As a bidder you can nominate a different increment by vocally announcing it while undertaking a bid. However, the auctioneer does have the right to refuse the bid.

4. Time to buy
To bid at an auction, you must register with the auctioneer before the auction starts. You will then be issued with a number or paddle, which will become your bidding tool. All parties bidding will need to be registered and the auctioneer will not take bids from a non-registered bidder. Make sure you stand where the auctioneer can easily see you and identify your bid, and bid confidently.
Once the bids reach the reserve price set by the seller, the auctioneer will usually declare the property ‘on the market’. This lets all bidders know that whoever has the highest bid from then on will be the buyer. Should the bidding not reach the reserve, the property will be passed in and all bidders will be able to negotiate with the seller.
Body language at auctions Body language expert and Coast local Allan Pease shares his insights into how to read other bidders and keep your cool during an auction.
Keep it casual Most of the time, people will have their arms crossed at an auction, and most will try to keep a wooden face so they don’t look conspicuous. The key to being a discreet bidder is to not follow what the crowd is doing. Be very casual, like you bid at auction every day.
Practise makes perfect Don’t be afraid to practise ‘being casual’ in front of a mirror. Breath deeply so you can relax and make sure you don’t cross your legs or your arms or touch your face. Lean up against something and act like you’re bored.
Have a strategy A good strategy at an auction is to keep switching positions. If you’re standing middle-left, casually move to the right, or go and stand to the back. Keep changing position – auctioneers don’t like it, and the other bidders won’t know what’s going on. If you’re in a couple, be sure to split up.
Read your competition If you’re in a bidding war with someone else, look for signals that they may be approaching their limit. When they are nearing their breaking point, they’ll generally show tension in their face and will even put their hand over their mouth.

retreat. And what a retreat it is, with views over the foliage of North Shore and out to the ocean and Old Woman Island. This floor is spacious with two balconies and even a small kitchenette – it’s a long way down for a coffee in the morning! But the highlight of the home begins at a spiral staircase on the oceanfront balcony. Sitting high atop this house is a rooftop observation deck with stunning 360-degree views. To the east is the azure ocean, to the north Mount Coolum and Noosa, to the south Mooloolaba and to the west is the Novotel resort and up to the hinterland. It’s simply stunning. Not just the ideal place for a sneaky sunset drink, the rooftop also plays host to a weather-proofed camera, perfectly poised to

film the ocean, all day, every day. Tech-savvy Bret has fed the live link through their televisions, so at any time you can turn the TV to channel one and check out the surf. Bret confesses that a few friends have ‘borrowed’ his ingenious idea. “We can’t see the ocean through the trees from the lower levels, but we have the perfect view from the rooftop, so it made sense to pop a camera up there,” Bret explains. “We can check out the tide and the surf really easily now and it really wasn’t that expensive to install.” Curiously though, the family has put their stunning home on the market. So why would a couple, so in love with life on the North Shore, want to sell up? Bret explains that they intend to stay in the area, they just want to build a house of their own. “Having lived here for three years now,” Lesleigh says, “as builders we have a habit of picking the things that we’d change to suit our family and lifestyle. We’re excited about what we could do here and would love to build something really different.” Bret adds, “We have some great ideas as to what we’d like to build ourselves and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to buy land here and stay, as there are a few blocks still vacant, but if we do have to move, it won’t be very far. It’s more beachy here and much less commercial than the south. For us, there’s greater long-term appeal in the north.” The Davis family won’t be migrating south any time soon.

To fix, or not to fix? W the recent drop in interest rates, now is the perfect time for With homeowners to reassess their loans to see if they can get a better deal.
Gaze
Around the World
by Rick Gardner ithin five minutes of the recent Reserve Bank decision to cut the official rate, the four big banks responded by cutting their rates by the full quarter of a per cent. St George cut its rates by 0.3 per cent, but don’t take too much notice of that headline. Its rate is still higher than most of the big banks. Here’s how the big five banks now stack up – CBA: 9.33 per cent, NAB: 9.36 per cent, Westpac: 9.36 per cent, ANZ: 9.37 per cent, St George: 9.37 per cent. There are some three-year, fixed-rate mortgages now on offer at 7.99 per cent. Both HSBC and Arab Bank are offering these, and you can be certain that good customers will be able to use these numbers to extract similar deals from their banks. The logic is that to average eight per cent for the next three years, variable rates have to fall quickly below eight per cent, even below 7.5 per cent. Otherwise, you would be best to settle

for the fixed rate loan. Do you think variable rates will fall so far? Maybe, but I suspect it’s a long shot. Let’s say the average variable mortgage over the next three years is 9.11 per cent (I have assumed that on average, rates will fall another quarter of a per cent). On a $400,000, 25-year mortgage, the repayments are $3387 a month. On a 25-year mortgage with the rate fixed at 7.99 per cent for three years, the repayments will be $3085 per month for three years. That’s a difference of $300 a month, which is $3600 a year, or $10,800 over three years. Pretty simply maths really. The banks are still copping higher refinancing costs on their US loan books and higher interest rates on their local deposit accounts. So I don’t imagine they will keep on passing on every future rate cut. The real question for people now is whether they should fix every part of their loan straightaway. After all, if the downward trend in rates continues, there may be cheaper rates in the future. The wise move would be to hedge your bets now with a fixed, variable split loan. This allows you to fix a portion at today’s rates as well as having a variable portion, which would enable you to make extra payments when you can. But remember, most banks have restrictions on extra payments on their fixed-rate loans. Whichever way you go, it’s time to start thinking about your mortgage with accurate information and a clear mind.

Twin Waters
Market Tracker
ocation: Positioned on the northern banks of the Maroochy River, right next to the sleepy beachside village of Mudjimba, is the master-planned community of Twin Waters. Just a short drive to the tourist hubs of Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Coolum and Noosa, Twin Waters is only five minutes from the Sunshine Coast Airport. Twin Waters residents have easy access to patrolled beaches at Mudjimba, Marcoola, Coolum and Yaroomba.
P A
units, predominately residential houses, but it also includes two separate apartment complexes, a retirement village, a shopping centre and the Twin Waters Golf Club and Novotel Twin Waters Resort, both of which are located nearby.
opulation: According to the 2006 Census data, the population of Twin Waters was approximately 2541.
master plan: Lend Lease commenced development of the Twin Waters residential community in 1996. This world-class, fully integrated residential and resort community is now almost complete, with only a few vacant home building lots available. Twin Waters has approximately 1000 accommodation
SNAPSHOT
L
ife on the water: An active lifestyle is encouraged in Twin Waters thanks to its proximity to the river and ocean, and the waterways, parkland, walking tracks, cycle paths, alfresco cafes and quality restaurants on offer.
The community is also just minutes from the Coast’s largest shopping and entertainment centre, Sunshine Plaza, which has 220 retail outlets, cinema, restaurants and cafes. Retail, child-care, medical and professional services are easily accessible in nearby Mudjimba.
B
ridging the Coast: For many years, the Maroochy River has formed an unofficial barrier between the northern and southern ends of the Sunshine Coast. The recent widening of the
bridge that crosses it has officially bridged the divide between the north and south, making the north more accessible and therefore more appealing to investors. This increase in accessibility can only mean one thing – increased property values, which is fantastic news for Twin Waters residents.

Private Maroochydore unit
Fantastic value in Buderim Where in Buderim can you find a brand-new home with two living areas, bush backdrop on 1077 square metres at this price? This lovely new and well-priced home is nearing completion. All the land in this development has been sold, so this is a great opportunity to buy a new home in this area while you still can. It has four bedrooms, main with double basin ensuite and walk-in robe, a separate family room and media room, openplan living flowing onto undercover entertaining area. Fully fenced, it is 10 minutes to Buderim.
Private and situated in a quiet court location, this two-bedroom villa-style unit is situated in a small complex of five. Positioned at the rear of the complex, this unit has a leafy outlook with just the one neighbour. The home is well-presented with huge potential, open-plan, spacious living areas and an outlook to the extra-large landscaped courtyard. Low body corporate fees, other residents are mainly owners and a single lock-up garage with easy access.

The main dwelling has three bedrooms with high raked ceilings and balcony overlooking the river. The second dwelling has a single bedroom which could be used as a granny flat.

Enviable Wurtulla home
Currimundi house must go The owners are moving, forcing the sale of this immaculate home. This house offers three spacious bedrooms – master with walk-through robe and large ensuite, second bathroom with separate toilet and two living areas with airconditioning. The open-plan kitchen offers loads of room to move. Complete with security screens, a covered outdoor entertaining area overlooking the sparkling pool with water features, side access, shed and ample storage, the home is within walking distance of Talara School, Meridan College and the Currimundi Marketplace. It is also a short drive to beaches, restaurants and cafes.
This home’s position is second to none. With only one neighbour and adjacent to parks, privacy is assured. For the active family, the canal system is teeming with fish and crabs while keen swimmers and surfers can enjoy the nearby beaches. This solid but dated home is ready for transformation. Offering three bedrooms plus study, this ensuited home opens onto 17 metres of canal frontage and features two ample living areas and three-car secure garaging. With huge outdoor entertaining and large secluded timber deck overlooking the resort-style pool and spa, it is just perfect for a lazy Sunday barbecue. Looking towards the future, the homes position of being situated close to the proposed Kawana town centre and Sunshine Coast hospital ensures its value for years to come.

PART 1
by Julie Gatehouse
Maroochydoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CBD is set to expand and thrive with the groundbreaking mixed-use development, Emporio. Julie Gatehouse examines the grand plans in place for this future commercial and residential mecca, in part one of our four-part series on Coast infrastructure.
f you take to the skies and fly over the northern side of Maroochydoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cornmeal Creek, in the area that adjoins the junction of Maroochy Boulevard and Plaza Parade, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice a thick T-shaped parcel of land. Launched today as Emporio, this is developer Reed Property Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carefully planned 2.3-hectare site. Take in a wider view of the area and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see where Emporio fits in the bigger picture. South-west towards the Sunshine Motorway is the rest of the 106-hectare Sunshine Cove residential and commercial site. Earthworks are underway on much of the land, formerly known as Wises Farm, as major landholder/developer Chardan Development Group continues with its major 10-year project that features pedestrian access with lake footbridges, parklands, boardwalks and bikeways. Reedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emporio is the Coveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first precinct. A Harvey Norman superstore has been earmarked and Garry Crick Auto Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mercedes-Benz dealership is under construction, set to open in October. East towards the beach is Sunshine Plaza, where another multimillion-dollar expansion, which will include national

retailer David Jones, is in the planning. The Big Top shopping centre, on the other side of Horton Parade, is also facing a major revamp. South-east there is more activity still, with the Horton Park Golf Course site earmarked for redevelopment. Local residents, business people, potential investors and state and local decision-makers are all expecting great things of the new Maroochydore town centre. Its planning now involves short-, medium- and long-term thinking by the amalgamated Sunshine Coast Regional Council, the Queensland Government and property owners. The aim is to shape a thriving town centre while avoiding problems or fixing problems of the past. Infrastructure

Reed general manager of development Carl Nancarrow says it is no coincidence that Emporio, at a value of more than $250 million, represents many of the key principles for Maroochydore that feature in the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position paper, such as creating high-quality residential amenities and office space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This precinct is delivering smart and sustainable outcomes through its innovative design and proximity to existing infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spent a lot of time benchmarking dozens of similar developments in southern cities and overseas to see what worked and what didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? New development manager Rob Fleming, who recently moved to the company from England, has been sharing his European experiences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we had to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sunshine Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; them.â&#x20AC;? Carl says with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We acknowledge that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simply copy what people in London or Melbourne want.â&#x20AC;? All up, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken more than 18 months to establish the final scheme. The result, unveiled to the public today (Friday) at Reedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display suite in Duporth Avenue, is a leap into the Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Almost 230 apartments will be released over three stages. There will be 12,200 square metres of prime office space. A major attraction will be a fresh food marketplace and dining precinct at ground level. There will be water views and green space, including a public plaza for recreation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something the Sunshine Coast has not seen before,â&#x20AC;? says Carl, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concept we think people will gravitate to very quickly.â&#x20AC;? He says its three elements of apartments, commerce and marketplace/entertainment will combine into a live-workplay theme, linked by a contemporary coastal design with an urban vibe. Bill explains that a street called Emporio Place will be created, with buildings numbered one to nine, some right on the water. They will house the offices and apartments, a public gymnasium, the marketplace, restaurants and cafes, plus residents-only gym, theatre, rooftop pool and entertainment area. Attention to detail is comprehensive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even the numbering system follows the principals of feng shui. Eight means prosperity and Bill says number eight Emporio Place will be the signature commercial building. Its prime offices will be housed in six storeys (reaching 25 metres high) using top-quality architecture and environmental standards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to achieve a 4.5-star AGBR [Australian Green Building Rating] and a five-star Green Star rating, which is national best practice,â&#x20AC;? he says. Green Star Environmental certification relates to everything from choice of materials and recycling of construction waste to power usage, proximity to public transport and provision of bicycle facilities for workers. Carl says Reed is striving to help reduce the burden on infrastructure and boost peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyles in this mixed-use precinct. It hopes new residents will walk or cycle to work and leisure facilities both within Emporio Place and across My Property Review | September 19, 2008 7

hinterland
The hills are alive by Dorothy Drane
The latest REIQ figures show some big performances on the Coast, but not necessarily in areas you might think. Hinterland hotspots have outshone the region’s beachside properties, as more buyers fall in love with an acreage life. creage house sales were the big performers last financial year, with median price rises up 20 per cent, according to newly released REIQ figures. In Palmwoods, the median price for acreage house sales on blocks larger than 2400 square metres was $595,000 for the 12 months to June 2008, compared with $492,500 for the previous financial year, an annual change of 20.8 per cent. Landsborough acreage prices jumped 21.1 per cent, from $404,500 to $489, 750 for the same period, while Cooroy acreage prices rose 13.2 per cent from $480,000 to $543,500, Beerwah 12.3 per cent from $405,000 to $455,000, and Maleny by 11.8 per cent from $510,000 to $570,000. “More and more people are making lifestyle choices and investing in acreage, especially in the south-east,” REIQ chairman Peter McGrath says. “Acreage properties appeal to families because of the abundance of space, particularly in the face of urban redevelopment. And, of course, there is an opportunity to profit from the development potential of acreage over time.” CB Richard Ellis senior director John O’Hagan, who undertakes project work in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, says a lot of younger- to middle-market buyers recognise that they can get a lot more real estate for their money in the hinterland. “Anyone who is prepared to sacrifice proximity to the beach

will get a big block of land of up to 2000 square metres for around the same they might pay for a 550- to 600-square metre block on the coastal strip,” he says. He points out that it is all about trade-offs. “You can have a big block of land with a quieter lifestyle but you will be further from the beach and amenities,” John says. “The coastal market generally trades more strongly for the general investor, who probably sees the coast as having better long-term capital growth prospects. The flipside of that is that the person who is in for the long term and who wants to live a village lifestyle will find that places like Palmwoods, Woombye and Beerwah have a great deal to offer.” The gap between coast and hinterland has closed and neither is better than the other, but it has become a lifestyle choice between the ocean and the bush. John says towns such as Palmwoods have a central Sunshine Coast locality and have grown in popularity, gaining an individual feel, identity and atmosphere. “These places were offering these qualities to the old locals years ago, but now even the new arrivals can recognise it and feel part of it,” he says. “As the coastal markets have grown, it’s easy to see, from a family perspective, how little you get for your money in the prime beachside pockets, but if you are prepared to accept the greater distance to the beach and

O P E N H O M E S S A T U R D A Y
LOWEST FEES
major amenities, you can get a lot more property for your dollar in the hinterland.” John says he’s not surprised to see the hinterland performing well. “It an amazing performance to achieve 20 per cent growth in a tough year,” he says, “although I wouldn’t think it would be capable of being repeated year after year.” The median house price for the new Sunshine Coast Regional Council area has dipped 1.2 per cent to $464,500 over the June quarter. However, following the trend to acreage living, the median acreage house price increased 9.2 per cent to $600,000 over the same period. In recent years, some of the most spectacular price rises have been at the top end of the coast with the Noosa hinterland capitalising on the popularity of the Noosa brand. Increases have been more moderate in the central and southern coast and Nambour has remained a solid performer. John says that while hinterland performances have been solid, statistics always have to be tempered with realistic sales. He adds that these figures are not being distorted by a few multimillion-dollar sales. The hinterland has also been playing catch-up as the coastal area did in the 1990s, so that the percentage is readily influenced by coming off a lower base. “Overall it is very good news, but it is not that surprising,” John says.

Looking forward By Kevin Ball, Carolans First National Real Estate, Nambour ustainability, affordability and eco-friendly are all words that are thrown around with reckless abandon these days. People love to use these buzz words but seldom stop to consider how it involves them, how they can be affected by them and how the future is unfolding at a great rate. We are residents of a delightful country town known as Nambour, which is special for many reasons, not least of which is its inherent friendliness and neighbourly way of life. The Nambour district has long been associated with rural activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sugar cane, pineapples, macadamias and avocados have all been grown in the region. These are crops grown by farmers who have done so for generations, following practices that have sustained them for years. Importantly, Nambour is a town that has survived and flourished for many years and remains economically viable, even without the mainstream business of sugar cane that it has enjoyed in the past. So what is the point of these seemingly meaningless ramblings? The point is that Nambour is perfectly placed to become a showcase for the nation in terms of creating a sustainable future for any town. It has the infrastructure to support growth and there are plans to improve this infrastructure, such as the rail corridor expansion. We have a strong population base on which to build, affordable property for new entrants to the market and enormous potential to build upon these solid foundations. Plenty of opportunities for growth in the area have been recently identified, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting time for current residents as well as newcomers. Market conditions are perfect in the town to build a sustainable, affordable and eco-friendly future.
S Glenview property must sell
Landsborough opportunity
The owner has to sell this magnificent property before Christmas. Set on approximately 12 acres of lush grazing, it would be ideal for a horse stud, equestrian centre, trail-riding centre or bed and breakfast. This large residence offers four large bedrooms each with ensuite, two comfortable lounges and bar area, huge kitchen with dining, office, two stylish outdoor entertainment areas, enhanced garden setting with pool and spa plus a self-contained cabin, 12 stables with automatic feeding, tack, feed and washrooms, plus barn, Olympic-size all-weather floodlit arena, post and rail fenced paddocks with electric fences. This wonderful lifestyle property is just 15 to 20 minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drive from Caloundra and Mooloolaba beaches and is less than an hour on the motorway to Brisbane CBD.
Situated in the local business centre, this 1153-square metre lot has been council-approved for four three-bedroom units. Making an excellent investment, plans are also available. Many other choices are available here, either to improve the existing Queensland-style cottage, which has two bedrooms, plus a sunroom with timber floors. Or start again and build a new home, or add a large shed for a home business. This town location is very rarely seen available to buy with walking distance to all conveniences.

commercial property
Shopping around for the best investment choice by Brendan Robins
Ever wanted to invest in commercial property but have been reluctant to give it a try because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to start? Here is a crash course in buying this kind of real estate. s investors, we look for growth, with a level of security, in a price range we can afford. Many people choose residential property, shares or managed funds because they understand them and consider them a safe investment. The problem is that equity markets have dropped 25 per cent from their peak in November 2007 and the cost of funding residential property when the real return is only two to four per cent does not always make financial sense. If investment alternatives in 2008 have left many investors scratching their heads, why not consider commercial property?
A
TALK THE TALK: At CBRE we are often told that buyers do not understand the terminology and fundamentals of commercial property. Simply put, commercial property typically has three distinct classes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; retail, office and
industrial. It is generally the place a business operates from and rent is paid to a landlord to occupy this space. Strata is referred as a commercial space that is part of a cluster of commercial units, which is governed by a body corporate, opposed to a general freestanding building, where one singular commercial building sits on a parcel of freehold land.
NUMBER CRUNCH: When buying commercial property, the price is often expressed as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;capitalised valueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the rent being paid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this term is used a lot and is basically your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;return on investmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. For example, a property with a rental income of $80,000 per year on an eight per cent yield would sell for $1 million. However, if a buyer desperately wanted the property and was happy with a lower return of seven per cent, then this would equate to a price of $1.14 million. If in year six (the first year of the option period) the rent had grown $110,000 per annum and you could sell the property at a yield of seven per cent, this would equate to a sale price of $1.57 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a capital gain of $570,000 in five years. You can now see the power of rental growth and the yield curve and the effect this has on the sale price.
THE LEASE: The tenant typically signs a three- to five-year lease with fixed annual rent increases. For example, a business leases 200 square metres of retail space in a main street for five years with a five-year option. If the starting rent is $400 per square metre per annum then the overall rent is $80,000 per annum. If this lease had four per cent annual increases, then the second year rent would be $83,200 and so on (compounding rental growth). The other important aspect of commercial property is that (unlike residential tenants) the tenant typically pays all operating costs of that property, including council rates, insurance and garden maintenance. Also, there are significant tax depreciation benefits with commercial property relating to fit-out, carpet, airconditioning systems, shop fronts, doors, etc.
DO THE RESEARCH: Over the past five years, we have seen yields generally track with the interest rate curve. In 2005, many were borrowing at 6.5 per cent and this put downward pressure on commercial yields, with many properties selling in the range of six to 7.5 per cent. Unfortunately, in 2008 we have seen the top of the interest rate cycle and the average yield is now 7.5 to 8.5 per cent on most commercial properties.

â&#x20AC;˘ Development cost estimate available
WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S THE SECRET? In an ideal world, the way to make significant capital gains is to buy when the yield curve is high (at eight to nine per cent) and then adding value to the property either by refurbishing it or increasing the rental income, then selling when the yield curve drops (six to seven per cent). Many owners who bought in the year
2000 and sold recently would have doubled their money as well as receiving a solid rental income over this time at above 10 per cent on the original purchase price. Commercial property is traditionally a lot more expensive to get into, with most strata properties now selling between $500,000 to $1 million and freehold generally from $1 million up. Consider setting up a syndicate either with family or friends or start small and work your way up. It is very important to start educating yourself on the fundamentals of commercial property by reading the appropriate newspapers, requesting investment reports on particular properties and subscribing to agency reports.
FINAL TIP: The same rules apply to all investments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; time in the market is safer than timing the market, and buy well-located property, preferably multi-tenanted so that you have diversity in your income, minimising risk. Also, pick a market where there are fundamentals for capital gains over a five- to 10-year period, for instance population growth or property that you can buy for less than what it would take to reproduce it.

his property in Caloundra is a 730-square metre redevelopment opportunity in the very heart of the tightly held CBD
being offered for sale by the new LJ Hooker Caloundra office. LJ Hooker Caloundra licensee Scott Hull says, “This property is a superb, high-quality parcel of land in the very heart of the Caloundra CBD. We are really excited about the property because it has the advantage of having three access
points. Ten Ormuz Avenue has a great frontage overlooking the busy Village Shopping Centre that includes retailers like IGA and Australia Post, while it also has a unique advantage of having the Village Walkway on its eastern frontage. Plus the property has great rear lane access.” Scott adds, “Ormuz Avenue and Bulcock Street have presented investors and developers with very solid growth over the past 10 years, and we believe these streets should continue to show solid returns with relatively low vacancy rates due to the population growth, supply and continued demand. Rents appear to be rising with recently built retail being offered to the market at up to $600 per metre per annum. “This property in Ormuz Avenue has a current DA that permits a medical centre and retail shop. With such a high volume
of pedestrians using the Village Walkway, between the Council carpark, Post Office and Ormuz Avenue to access bustling Bulcock Street, this site should ensure a new or relocating business has an excellent opportunity to capture a large and growing clientele. “Ten Ormuz Avenue has a zoning of Caloundra Regional Business Centre Core – Sub Precinct 1B, so there are a variety of possible uses with council approval and there is the bonus of an existing residential tenancy providing a purchaser with income to assist offset holding costs.” Address: 10 Ormuz Avenue, Caloundra Price: Listed at $1.35 million with offers invited.

Maroochydore, with the help of expected upgrades to bus and rail networks. It’s food for thought for Coast motorists, who sit in Bruce Highway traffic to Brisbane and back each day. But the development also meets all infrastructure obligations. Bill says, “A basement under the whole site with over 900 undercover car parks is designed to make sure that Emporio is easily accessed by locals and visitors.” Another innovation will be the fibre-optic network to allow high-speed broadband internet access throughout the offices and apartments. “We’re a project partner with the regional council through the Clever Networks program,” says Carl. “They’re starting the rollout now. It was launched by federal treasurer Wayne Swan and mayor Bob Abbot in July. This will be the first time on the Sunshine Coast that high-speed broadband is provided in a medium-density, mixed-use development. From

“
a corporate perspective we’ve taken the view that we want to be leaders in smart and sustainable development.” With such a focus on quality, locals may wonder if they’ll be priced out of the development. But that’s another surprise about Emporio. Prices for a one-bedroom apartment start at $329,900. A two-bedroom designer-styled apartment with ensuite and car park will sell from $399,000 and a three-bedroom penthouse will reach $669,000. “We’re able to provide that spread in the different buildings,” says Carl. “Potential first-home owners can still get into the Maroochydore town centre at an affordable price. They’ll get access to a premium site at the ground level, but don’t expect that to last for long.”
Sunshine Cove’s new Emporio will become the Coast’s first mixed-use precinct, incorporating residential, commercial and recreational spaces, and transforming Maroochydore.
The housing affordability issue was a prime factor in the state government selecting greenfield sites such as Maroochydore to be fast-tracked for development. Bill adds that his company is responding to the growing number of young professional singles or couples seeking low-maintenance but fun places to live where they don’t have to rely on cars but can rely on advanced network communications and access to entertainment and shopping areas.
A Wise move
Construction is expected to start early next year on the three-year project. For more go to www.seeyoutomorrow.com. au. On top of Reed’s land holdings, Chardan estimates an additional end value of Sunshine Cove at $800 million, with about 6000 people living and working there within a decade.

In the ’80s
by Dorothy Drane
One of the Coast’s most famous farming families is making way for the expansion of Maroochydore’s CBD. ot so many years ago, melons and corn grew in a paddock where Maroochy Boulevard now provides a major link between the growing business centre of Wises Road and Sunshine Plaza. The land from the slopes of Buderim north to Plaza Parade has been owned and farmed by just one family – the Wises – for generations. The property was a farm of almost 600 acres until it found itself the very centre of Maroochydore. “Wises Farm has had to make way for the major development of central Maroochydore,” says Peter Wise, whose great-grandfather bought the first 80 acres in 1901. He and his brother, David, expanded the farm with another 500 acres made up of several land purchases during the 1960s. “Our plan was always only to have a farm, but now we know that Maroochydore can only reach its heights by the acquisition of our land for its future development,” Peter says. “We are still holding the only major green open space site, which is the balance of the farm on the southern side of the motorway and technically, it’s getting to the point of being non-viable for making a living out of farming.” In 1980, Peter set about changing what he was growing with a plan to create the Natural Energy World tourist development. The first component of this was establishing a large pick-your-own orchard to replace the market beans and pumpkins. And the people came, making their way down what was then a dead-end road, to Wises Farm. The concept, approved by the council of the day, included a monorail, which

would have run around the farm, including the area that is now the Sunshine Cove development off Maroochy Boulevard. But it was not to be. After a protracted argument, power and roads authorities had their way and the land was dissected by a utility power line, the major visual impairment putting an end to any natural energy ideas for the property. The Sunshine Motorway split the property in two, Plaza Parade was trimmed from the northern end, North Buderim Boulevard was pushed through from the west of Wises Road
and now the southern access road Maroochy Boulevard takes another slice of former farmland. Despite having gone into battle for his land over the years, Peter is philosophical these days and recognises there is a need for further residential land. He has to. He also issues the reminder that the bushland near the Sunshine Motorway and Maroochy Boulevard is not virgin rainforest. “I used to grow my beans there. I planted all that bushland myself,” he says.

New hinterland community selling fast
oodgrove is a 304-lot Stockland residential community located in the booming hinterland hub town of Beerwah. The community is experiencing much activity with almost 40 new homes under construction and many more expected to start in the next few weeks. Stockland’s regional manager for the Sunshine Coast, Nick Wellwood, says Woodgrove continues to exceed all expectations with 95 sales since the community was launched in March. He says Woodgrove’s ideal location, generously sized home sites and affordable pricing have all combined to make the community very attractive to buyers. “Many of the people who have purchased home sites or home and land packages in Woodgrove are existing residents of the Glasshouse Mountains region,’’ he says. “These buyers are already aware of the great lifestyle advantages of living in this area and are now investing in the region’s newest community. “We have also seen strong interest from first-home buyers and young families who see the opportunity to move into a brand-new home on a good-sized block at an affordable price.’’ Woodgrove is surrounded by natural bushland and boasts many enviable features, including its own central lake, parks with play equipment and barbecue facilities and other open spaces. The community is within easy walking distance of the Beerwah train station and local shopping amenities, including a Woolworths supermarket and other
