e’ve been hearing a lot about this new Kawana hospital precinct.

Indeed, MWP has brought you a few stories over the past year or so detailing the money to be spent and the impact it will have on the region. But if you’re anything like me, it’s not until you see buildings coming out of the ground and concept images of what it will be that you can really get a sense of what’s going on over there in Kawana.

We thought it timely, then, to bring you an update on the precinct, with more details of the plans, images and interviews with some residents who are making the area their home.

It’s an incredible project, and the sheer scale of the construction that will take place in the years to come is mind-blowing. Developer Stockland has kindly let us in on the latest plans, facts and figures, and I urge all Sunshine

] Coasters to turn over to page 6 and read up on this amazing new addition to the Coast.

If you have a few minutes it’s also worth heading to YouTube and typing in ‘Sunshine Coast University Hospital – Project Overview’ for a virtual tour of the public hospital.

In agenda we take a look at the Australian economy and ask how, when all around us great economies are struggling, we’ve managed to clock up yet another year of economic growth.

The answer is on page 18.

In property, Jarna Baudinette looks into the role of the real estate agent on page 38. It’s a much-maligned occupation that few outside the industry really understand. And don’t forget our new TV guide on page 70. You can plan your week’s viewing (I’ll be giving Big Brother a miss), check out the best fishing spots (I now know what a pilly is) and see where the waves are breaking (paddle practice it is then).

tockland this week unveiled a new name for the central Kawana region it is helping to transform into a new $5 billion first-class destination for the Sunshine Coast.

Oceanside Kawana will encompass around 140 hectares of land, taking in Birtinya, the new public and private health precinct, the future town centre and a dedicated transit and commercial precinct.

Its creation will involve one of the largest infrastructure projects ever undertaken on the Coast with new roads, bridges, parks and services on a massive scale.

Stockland this week began another round of consultations with key community, government and business stakeholders, together with residents of Birtinya and surrounding areas. The first signage displaying the Oceanside Kawana name is going into place this week, while more details about the individual precincts will be announced in the coming months.

Research conducted by the Urbis group has found the total economic benefit of Oceanside would top $5.3 billion over the next 15 years and generate more than 45,000 direct and indirect jobs during the development phase.

On completion, the new heart of Kawana will provide approximately 21,000 ongoing jobs and contribute $828 million annually to the economy.

Stockland regional manager David Laner says Oceanside Kawana has been one of Australia’s most carefully planned and conceived new communities.

Laner says it is a great honour for Stockland to be the master developer of such an important Sunshine Coast site and the new name is the result of an exhaustive process of research and deliberation.

“We wanted to find a name that reflects this great coastal location and will bring together the past, present and future of Kawana,” Laner says. “Our vision for M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

Our vision for Oceanside Kawana is to create a whole new way of living for the Coast, where homes, shopping, entertainment, business, health services, tourism and jobs all co-exist in a single location Mal Cayley

Muhammad Abdus Salam

Stephen and Lesley Giumelli

Why we’ve chosen to live here Oceanside Kawana is to create a whole new way of living for the Coast, where homes, shopping, entertainment, business, health services, tourism and jobs all co-exist in a single location.”

The first residential component of Oceanside – Stockland’s Birtinya community – is already well established. Work is underway on the Ramsay Health Care private hospital, and the Queensland Government recently named the Exemplar Health consortium as the successful tenderer for the $1.8 billion Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH).

Other elements also planned for Oceanside at Kawana include a new sub-regional shopping centre for the Sunshine Coast, likely to feature a department store, supermarkets, quality specialty stores, cafes and entertainment, and community and cultural facilities, including a major library and learning centre, a performance space, parks and other open spaces. A business and employment centre for more than 5000 people is also planned, as is a town centre apartment-style living zone for thousands of new residents, a public transport hub providing links to Brisbane and other areas of the Coast, and networks of walking paths, bikeways and footbridges connecting each precinct Laner says Stockland will continue to work closely with the wider Coast community to achieve great outcomes for Oceanside and provide regular progress updates. A website has been established to provide more information at oceansidekawana.com.au. continued over >

The Kawana town centre, including the public hospital, is set to create thousands of temporary and ongoing employment opportunities for the region, and bring in many millions of dollars. Here are some stats:

7.indd 1

Around 150 families living at Stockland’s Birtinya community can already count themselves as residents of Oceanside Kawana.

Sunshine Coast doctor Muhammad Abdus Salam and his family recently moved into their brand-new two-storey waterfront home on Birtinya Island. He lists many reasons for making the move to Birtinya, but says the biggest factors were the location and the fact that it was a new community.

Salam, who works in public hospitals on the Coast, says the emerging health and medical precinct also appeals to him. “I could just walk there across the bridge,’’ he says. “We also knew other things like the town centre and new parks were coming here.”

Stephen and Lesley Giumelli are also living in Birtinya and rate the lifestyle, followed closely by the central location, as their top reasons for building in the community. “The lifestyle here is absolutely fabulous,’’ Stephen says. “The people are also terrific and we have got to know our neighbours really well.”

The Giumellis are also looking forward to the creation of the town centre. “For us, the town centre will mean somewhere we can walk to for breakfast or a coffee.

At our age, we want to sit back, relax and enjoy the lifestyle Birtinya has to

Development phase Operation phase

offer – we won’t be moving from here – this is forever.’’

Director of Investor Property, Mal Cayley, selected Birtinya as the site for his new family home and believes Oceanside Kawana also presents a good opportunity for investors. “When discussing the merits of investing in the Kawana corridor with our clients, they can have confidence in the fact that I’m willing to back myself,’’ Cayley says. “I’ve chosen Birtinya as the place to make the biggest investment of all – the future prospects of my family.

“This part of the Sunshine Coast is witnessing a massive level of infrastructure development. This is creating a CBD environment which offers outstanding business and lifestyle opportunities.

The multibillion-dollar investment in the Sunshine Coast University Hospital is the largest health project in Australia. This will act as a catalyst for further development locally with the flow-on benefits of new job creation, thriving small businesses and strong housing prices.

“From a personal and a professional perspective, this area will have it all. There are excellent job opportunities, a top university, first-class sporting facilities, an outstanding medical complex and a brand-new town centre. And all this with the Sunshine Coast’s stunning beaches and waterways on your doorstep.”

Facts about the area

• In recent years, Stockland has taken on the role of master developer for Kawana, creating several new communities including Birtinya, Kawana Island, Lake Kawana, Kawana Forest and the Island Point Villas.

• The creation of Kawana dates back to 1960 when the first developer, Alfred Grant, released blocks of land at Buddina Beach and Point Cartwright priced from £975.

• The original development area encompassed some 1600 hectares of land featuring around 8.2 kilometres of ocean frontage from Point Cartwright to Wurtulla.

• Alfred Grant named the area Kawana after an Aboriginal name for wildflowers, which were a predominant feature of the region.

• Work is well underway on the Ramsay Health Care private hospital and the Queensland

Artist’s impression

Government recently named the Exemplar Health consortium as the successful tenderer for the $1.8 billion Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH).

• The Kawana population was still less than 100 people by the mid-1960s but had passed 20,000 by 2006 and is forecast to reach about 40,000 by 2015.

• Nicklin Way opened in 1967 and was later followed by the creation of canals, lakes and commercial sites.

• Stockland is now planning the remaining elements of the central Kawana masterplan, and has introduced the new name of Oceanside Kawana to reflect all the components of this exciting project.

• Consultations are being held with key community, government and business stakeholders, and residents of Birtinya and surrounding areas, while the first Oceanside Kawana signage is being erected.

• While known locally as Kawana Waters, the Kawana urban area consists of seven individual suburbs with no specific postcode for Kawana.

• A dedicated website has been established at oceansidekawana.com.au.

MAYOR WINS COOK-OFF AT REAL FOOD FESTIVAL

M

“It’s great when the dream comes to fruition along the lines of how you hoped it would,” says Shelton.

An estimated 9000 people turned out over two days to taste everything from Hello Honey’s cinnamon creamed honey and Tim Adams’ Specialty Coffee, to Tania Hubbard’s Grain Free, Gluten Free products.

Hubbard was a highlight of the speaker’s program, as was Cindi O’Meara from Changing Habits.

Local musicians and buskers entertained the munching crowds, while kids got into the cooking spirit making their own pizzas in cob ovens in the kid’s arena.

Winner of delicious. magazine’s 2012 artisan award for dairy, Trevor Hart from Cedar Street Cheeserie, opened people’s minds while treating their tastebuds to his famous handmade buffalo milk haloumi and mozzarella cheeses.

ayor Mark Jamieson emerged as the winner of a cook-off against State Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell, at the Real Food Festival in Maleny last weekend.

The event was a highlight of the weekend, with the pair cooking macadamia nut-stuffed mushrooms, breadcrumbed and fried and served with hollandaise sauce. They were mentored by Cedar Creek Farm Bush Foods chef Peter Wolfe.

The judges were MP Peter Slipper, Eumundi Markets manager Peter Homan and Natural Food Store manager Ryan McLintock.

The mayor “has been raving about the festival and can really see the links with tourism and food”, according to festival organiser Julie Shelton.

It was a fun start to the festival, where the food, glorious food, was matched only by the glorious weather.

WORDS Leigh Robshaw

Peter Wolfe, Mark Jamieson & Andrew Powell “In Australia, we have a history of industrialised cheese, but true cheesemaking is an art,” says Hart.

“There’s a balance between the taste, texture and saltiness that has a great impact on the palate.

“Festivals like this are successful because people recognise what’s fresh and local and what is made with care.”

Bob Tooby and Barbara Dancey from Beerwah were visiting the festival for the first time and certainly weren’t going to leave hungry.

“We’ve tried the spinach and feta rolls, bushfoods, steak rolls, African,

Indian, spring rolls, ginger beer and natural fairy floss,” said Tooby, as they headed into the pavilion for more taste testing.

The inaugural festival in 2011 ran for one day and attracted around 4000 visitors, while this year it doubled to cover the whole weekend.

“We hope to expand to a third day next year for an industry development day,” says Shelton.

“This is also about building the industry and building our food tourism sector, as well as giving the public a great day out.”

Have a breather for Cystic Fibrosis Qld Cystic Fibrosis Queensland needs $1.5 million a year to provide support, equipment and services for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) sufferers, but the organisation receives only $160,000 in government funding each year.

Enter the Great Aussie Breather, a new fundraising initiative the organisation hopes will catch on around Australia.

Organisations with around 20 or more employees simply register their business on the website, then staff buy $10 tickets in a raffle to win a day off work – or a breather. The company donates the day off, while funds raised from ticket sales go to Cystic Fibrosis Queensland.

The concept was created pro bono by Brisbane creative agency Decoder, who teamed up with BBS Communications and video production company The Post Lounge to market the campaign.

CEO of Cystic Fibrosis Queensland, Jane Andersen, says government funding is inadequate.

“We’re hoping to make around $20,000 from the Great Aussie Breather this year, and we’re hoping to take it national next year.”

CF is the most life-threatening genetic condition in Australia, and there is no cure.

LANDMARK FILM EMPOWERS WOMEN

Activist Gloria Steinem, director Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and actresses Daphne Zuniga and Geena Davis at the Sundance premiere.

T

he documentary Miss Representation premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, and explores how the media’s portrayal of women has led to the under-representation of females in positions of power and influence.

“This documentary has been screened in Sydney and the feedback and response has been incredible,” says Marina Passalaris, who is the director of Beautiful Minds, a life

skills course for teenage girls.

Every day, Passalaris works with young women to improve their leadership skills and confidence, and she now has the licence to show the documentary to Sunshine Coast audiences at this one-off event.

Passalaris will present the film at the Maroochydore cinemas before leading a panel to discuss it. The panel will consist of Bermingham Books director Rachael Bermingham, Campaign Group director Rebecca Grisman, MWP fashion editor Dianna Mullins and director of Sea English Academy International, Kim Edwards.

There will be a raffle of Larissa Bright Pure Indulgence skin care sets and a photography package from Cheryl Nonmus – with all money raised going to support a local charity that provides crisis accommodation for women and children made homeless by domestic violence.

Sydney couture boutique Jatine, a major sponsor of the event, is giving away a $100 gift voucher for online shopping for each lady attending.

Passalaris says, “The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself.

“It is a fascinating look at the way the media objectifies females. Mums can bring their daughters to help teens understand how the media manipulates images of women. It’s not just for adults.”

Passalaris says that while women have made strides in leadership over the past few decades, in the US women hold only three per cent of clout positions in mainstream media, and 65 per cent of women and girls have disordered eating. The film has instigated a campaign to empower girls and women.

The screening will take place on October 4, from 6.30pm to 9.30pm at Birch Carroll & Coyle cinemas, Maroochydore. Early bird tickets are $37 and include a gift bag. Visit beautifulmindsevent.eventbrite.com.

CALLING ALL CREATIVES The documentary Design and Thinking will screen at Birch Carroll & Coyle cinemas at 5.45pm on September 20. The screening is aimed at Sunshine Coasters who work in the creative industries and will be a great networking opportunity.

Hundreds of children, especially unaccompanied ones, from countries including Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Burma face detention, mistreatment in custody, no access to education, and little or no basic assistance in Indonesia, the New York-based rights watchdog said, citing its recent study.

The Indonesian Government fails to provide them or their families opportunities to obtain legal asylum status, it added.

“Far too many children take incredibly risky journeys because they face no good choices,” the group’s children’s rights director Zama Coursen-Neff said in a statement.

Those 21 years of growth … are a stunning achievement that leaves every other advanced economy in our wake

AUSTRALIA KEEPS GROWING

AS OTHERS PREVIEW While other economies have languished, Australia’s economic growth continues to ride the crest of one very long wave. But how long can it last? Watch this space.

WORDS Colin Brinsden, AAP IMAGES AAP

T

wenty-one years of unbroken economic expansion is pretty remarkable when you look around the rest of the globe.

Last week’s June quarter national accounts marked the auspicious milestone, and while there were no party hats or streamers at Wayne Swan’s traditional post-data press conference, you could tell the treasurer was pretty chuffed.

“Today’s national accounts are very special because they say much more about our economy and our country than just three months of numbers on a page,” he told reporters in Canberra. “Those 21 years of growth – during that time we’ve been up against a lot – they are a stunning achievement that leaves every other advanced economy in our wake.”

The expansions spanned the Keating, Howard, Rudd and Gillard government eras, following the infamous recession “we had to have”, and have

wound its way through multiple global shocks.

There was the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, the bursting of the dot-com bubble in the early noughties and the global financial crisis in late 2008, which morphed into the worst global downturn since the Great Depression.

“These events would normally tip the [Australian] economy into recession,” Commonwealth Bank of Australia chief economist Michael Blythe said in a note to clients.

“But we have bounced through each pothole and come out the other side in respectable shape.”

The reasons why Australia has this apparent Teflon exterior are always up for debate, but reforms such as floating the currency, the independence of the central bank and banking regulation have all put the nation on solid ground. It’s also the case Australia was wrongly diagnosed as an “old economy” during the tech boom – just because it’s still perceived as “riding the sheep’s back” and digging holes

The international outlook has been more subdued than was the case a few months ago

FA LT E R in the ground for wealth – when everyone else was riding this new fangled business internet thing.

But we cannot live on computer chips alone.

And in the past decade, Australia has been a key beneficiary of the urbanisation of China because it has stuff to dig out of the ground that helps build cities.

The economy completed its 21-year expansion with a bit of a flourish, posting an annual growth rate for 2011/12 of 3.7 per cent that was comfortably above long term trend growth of 3.25 per cent. It was bang in line with the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) most recent forecast made in August.

The central bank is predicting a 3.5 per cent growth pace by the end of the year. In contrast, the Organisation for Economic

Co-operation and Development (OECD) interim economic outlook released last week painted a somewhat different outlook for other major economies.

It’s forecasting growth of just 1.4 per cent in 2012 for the Group of Seven (G7) economies – the US, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, UK and Canada. For the eurozone’s three largest economies – Germany, France and Italy – it predicts a contraction of 0.2 per cent.

In prepared notes marking the report’s release in Paris, OECD chief economist Pier Carlo Padoan said the global economy had weakened since the institution’s full assessment in May, and that countries both inside and outside the OECD had been adversely affected by the euro debt crisis.

“A further intensification of euro area instability could have significant spillovers for global demand,” Padoan said.

Padoan also cited the so-called “fiscal cliff” facing the US, a reference to the end of the year period when a series of tax increases and spending cuts takes effect. “Failure in the United States to avoid the ‘fiscal cliff’ could derail an already weak recovery,” he said.

RBA governor Glenn Stevens last week acknowledged the international outlook had been more subdued than was the case a few months ago, when the bank left the cash rate unchanged at 3.5 per cent for a third month in a row at its monthly board meeting.

Monetary policy settings “remained appropriate”, with inflation expected to be consistent with the two to three per cent target and economic growth close to trend. However, financial markets are almost fully priced for 50 basis points of cuts by the end of the year.

More up-to-date data in the past week suggests the second half of 2012 will be a shadow of its first six months.

Growth in retail spending dropped by 0.8 per cent in July, the biggest monthly fall in two years, as a boost provided by earlier interest rate cuts and government handouts faded.

And while the latest jobs figures for August showed a surprise fall in the unemployment rate to a three-month low of 5.1 per cent, it was largely the result of fewer people actively looking

Pier Carlo Padoan

for work and coming off the official unemployment register.

Even the national accounts showed the economy grew by a more modest pace of 0.6 per cent in the June quarter – less than half the stunning 1.4 per cent pace recorded in the previous three months.

A steep drop in bulk commodity prices in the past year and the decline in the nation’s terms of trade from a record high has also raised concerns about the outlook.

But while acknowledging the commodity price peak has passed, Prime Minister Julia Gillard believes “the mining boom’s death has been exaggerated”.

She says the boom has three distinct phases – a prices boom which is now passing, an investment boom that is still to reach its peak, and a production boom built on construction efforts, that will come to fruition in the decades ahead.

In which case, we could be celebrating 22 years of growth in 12 months’ time.

hares versus property is a common topic of conversation among investors. With both markets being weak in the past few years, the conversation has now turned to shares versus bonds, and which is the best asset class in which to invest.

Reasonable records of Australian stock and bond returns are available for more than 100 years and it shows that over that timeframe shares have outperformed bonds by an average of 5.8 per cent per annum. To arrive at an extended period of time where bonds outperform stocks, one has to

disregard the first 80 years of data and focus on the 30 years commencing 1980. This marked the commencement of a rally in bonds that has endured to the current day, a result of the fight against inflation.

We all know interest rates have come down since the 1980s when mortgage rates were around 20 per cent. The infl ation problem was solved by the recession we had to have, and rates have continued to fall over the years. In recent times the GFC has caused rates to fall to extraordinarily low levels. Locally, interest rates are at 3.5 per cent and globally, many countries have zero interest rates.

With rates so low, it is unlikely that there will be sizeable capital gains on bonds in the future. In fact it is almost impossible for rates to fall any further in the developed world. Thus the ‘golden era’ for bonds appears to be over, and as

From just

the world slowly muddles out of the debt crisis, one would expect rates to rise in the future. Rates may even rise significantly if we experience inflation as a result of central bank money printing. Such a scenario would see bond investors experience capital losses well in excess of any interest payments.

This brings us back to shares as an investment. With household names such as Commonwealth Bank, Woolworths and Telstra bringing in yields in excess of nine per cent including franking, one would reasonably expect dividend returns to underwrite super fund returns over the next decade, irrespective of capital growth.

MIRACLE MAN BRINGS LAST MAN STANDING TO COAST

Sunshine Coasters will remember Gerry Morris as the ‘miracle man’ who survived a nasty accident in 2010 when he was knocked off his bike at Alexandra Headland.

Since then, Morris has “been on a mission to give back to the community that helped me get back on my feet and my bike”.

For the past 18 months Morris and his wife Donna have been holding business breakfasts that aim to bring exceptional presenters to the Coast.

The latest event features Steven Bradbury, who will long be remembered as the man that became an unlikely gold medal winner at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. It’s not every day an athlete’s feats create a new phrase – ‘doing a Bradbury’ is often used in this nation to mean an accidental win or unexpected success, and Bradbury hopes it will still be used long after he is gone.

“The 2002 Olympics was my fourth winter Olympic campaign,” Bradbury tells MWP, adding that it’s fantastic people remember his

unusual win, however, “I very much understand I was lucky to win the gold, but it wasn’t luck that put me in the position to win.”

Luck, says Bradbury, is also about being prepared to take advantage of any fortunate breaks that come your way.

The former Olympian has now swapped his skates for a microphone.

“After winning the gold I started to get requests to tell my story; I never imagined it would turn into a career.”

That career is bringing him to the Sunshine Coast. He will be speaking at the Mooloolaba Surf Club on Friday, September 28 for a breakfast event that starts at 7am. Bradbury says he will be “sharing stories as an Olympian and providing a bit of inspiration”.

To complement the breakfast events, Morris is also holding an e vent called Your Business Panel.

“The aim here is to open up communication and have people ask the questions that are on their mind,” Morris says. “We have so many wonderfully talented people right here and they are donating their time, energy and most of all knowledge to become panel members.

“We plan to hold seven events a year – four breakfasts and three evening events – for $410 plus GST and for that we will introduce you to four brilliant speakers, let you ask questions of local professionals, and we’ll even feed you.”

You can find out about all these business events and more at www.hotbusinessevents.com.au. For more on Steven Bradbury head to stevenbradbury.com.

DECORATING CAKE BOOKS TO INSPIRE CAKE STARS WORDS Genevieve Gannon, AAP

I

can hardly pour milk on cereal without setting off my kitchen smoke alarm, so baking a cake that is edible and beautiful seems as achievable as beating Usain Bolt in the 100-metre dash. But help is at hand for kitchen-phobes like me.

Two new books promise to transform the most cautious home cooks from butter-fingered fire hazards into master bakers. With a copy of Jade Lipton’s Cakestar, or the Australian Women’s Weekly’s Decorating Cakes, creating beautiful, edible art is easy-peasy.

Decorating Cakes includes recipes for beginners, experts and everyone in between. While cooking a basic cake in Cakestar requires a slightly higher level of technical skill, it’s not that difficult. Both books include step-by-step instructions that make the most complicated sugar sculptures achievable.

The two tips I would give to first-timers would be to leave plenty of time to make your cake and don’t be afraid to experiment with fondant. Fondant (or ready-toroll icing) is surprisingly easy to use and gives a professional-looking finish to your creation.

MY W EEKLYPREVIE W. CO M . AU

25.indd 1

CAKESTAR Whether it is delicate, tiered cupcakes or a red and blue Batman skyline that will delight little boys, the bold and professional Cakestar cakes all involve the manipulation of fondant into shapes and patterns.

But don’t be put off.

Fondant, available at supermarkets, is soft and pliable and incredibly versatile. If you have the time, it is worth setting aside a couple of hours to experiment with fondant, food colouring and shaping tools so that you feel confident with it before attempting a cake.

And don’t let the mention of specialist tools worry you. Cakestar provides templates that will help you create some of the trickier shapes. A piping bag, a good knife and a few biscuit-cutting tools should see you on your way to being able to achieve many of the designs in the book.

For beginners, Cakestar includes basic round cakes that are brought to life with fondant embellishments.

And for seasoned cake creators, Cakestar will challenge your skills with Eiffel Tower piping projects and a Vanilla Bean Birdhouse that will wow your guests.

Designs are included for all sorts

of occasions. So whether you’re catering a baby shower or a graduation party, there is something in Cakestar to inspire.

DECORATING CAKES This book is great if you are nervous about executing fondant decorations.

Decorating Cakes uses meringues, spun sugar, lace and flowers to achieve breathtaking cakes.

Beginners will learn how to use dyed sponge, curled chocolate and tiered cakes to stunning visual effect. Experts will receive tutorials on assembling flawless wedding cakes with flocked, embossed,

frilled and stencilled sugar.

One of the strengths of Decorating Cakes as an instructional book is that it contains lessons on the mechanics of cake decorating. Many of the cakes rely on piped patterns to achieve their elegant finishes. Even if you aren’t confident with a piping bag, there is a section that shows how to execute shell-edging, stars and rope.

Decorating Cakes has a wider range of cakes than Cakestar. While many of the beginner cakes could be mastered by someone with a very basic level of skills, some of the expert cakes would have Adriano Zumbo crying into his piping bag.

lectronic hip-hop group TZU hail from Melbourne and will play the Solbar on September 21 – the same day their fourth studio album, Millions of Moments, is released.

The daring conceptual album follows the story of Persephone, a mysterious figure who travels through time and experiences the vast range of human emotion, from despair to euphoria and love.

Known as one of Australia’s most innovative and creative bands, TZU’s shows differ from typical hip-hop gigs because they feature live instrumentation (with guitars,

drums and keys) and plenty of crowd participation. Join the party next Friday night.

WHAT CAUSES INFERTILITY?

Spring with our huge range of herbal and nutritional supplements Friendly, qualified, experienced staff to advise you on your individual requirements

&

F

emale age is the most common reason why the patients we see are having trouble conceiving.

The average age of women seeking fertility assistance is around 36 or 37 years, but unlike the myth that women are waiting because they want to enjoy a career or financial freedom before children, the real reason is more likely to be they simply didn’t find the right partner earlier.

If you’re under 35 and haven’t conceived after 12 months, or are over 35 and haven’t conceived after six months, it’s a good idea to seek advice from your GP, and it could be worthwhile to arrange a free consultation with your local fertility clinic.

It is important that women

understand they are born with all the eggs they’ll need for their lifetime, but once they hit age 27, these eggs slowly decrease in number and quality. By the mid to late 30s many eggs will not be in an optimum condition, which can lead to a pregnancy resulting in abnormalities such as Down’s syndrome.

Overall, women have a one in 800 chance of giving birth to a child with Down’s syndrome, but with advancing female age, this greatly increases. By age 40 there is a very real risk, with a one in 80 chance of the pregnancy resulting in a chromosomal abnormality.

To assist women facing the biological clock, some fertility clinics offer options such as egg freezing, however, this does not take the place of educating women about the impact that age has on female fertility.

Next time, we’ll look at other health and lifestyle factors that impact fertility, including the primary causes of male infertility.

MAKE/MODEL MAZDA BT50 XTR DETAILS Four-door, five-seat crew-cab utility with 3.2-litre turbo-diesel engine, choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions, and all-wheel-drive.

MAZDA UTE PLAYS UP POINTS OF DIFFERENCE WORDS Peter Atkinson AAP

T

elstra or Optus? Heinz baked beans, or the home-brand?

Qantas or Virgin?

How do you make people choose your brand when your product is, to all intents and purposes, exactly the same as that of your competitors?

It’s a question that can’t be escaped when car companies jointly develop a vehicle, with a bit of ‘badge engineering’ virtually the only difference between competing models.

Mazda’s handsome new BT50 ute is a case in point. It is, to all intents and purposes, the same vehicle as its ‘twin under the skin’ the Ford Ranger.

The two vehicles were developed in a joint venture between the two companies (Ford previously owned about a third of Mazda at one point); they have the same engines and transmissions, and they are built

in the same factory in Thailand.

So how does Japanese company Mazda, best-known for its sporty-styled small and medium cars, manage to steal so many buyers away from Aussie icon Ford, with a car that is essentially a Ford with some Mazda badges?

Well, I guess for a start you have to make it look different – and Mazda has certainly managed that. The BT50 Continued over >

TECH STUFF 3.2-litre, five-cylinder turbo-diesel produces 147kW@3000rpm, 470Nm@1500-2850rpm; six-speed manual or automatic transmission, five-speed in petrol models.

FEATURES Front, side and curtain airbags; Electronic Stability Program with hill descent control, hill launch assist and trailer sway control; adaptive load control, emergency brake assist and roll-over mitigation; Bluetooth connectivity with iPod and MP3 compatibility; voice control, electric windows and mirrors, dual-zone climate-control airconditioning; reverse parking sensors, colour display screen.

A Daimler Brand

< from previous page mirrors the Japanese maker’s corporate look, with swoopy styling and that smiley-face front-end treatment – quite a contrast to the Ford’s squarejawed styling.

More important, perhaps, is the price – and Mazda has produced a trump card here.

The Mazda BT50 XTR we tested is almost $5000 cheaper than the similarly equipped, rangetopping Ford Ranger XL-T it goes up against.

Still, the similarities between the two are far greater than their differences.

Like the Ranger, the BT50 offers remarkable levels of driving dynamics and refinement for a commercially-focused machine.

The BT50 is a gargantuan thing yet sits stoutly on the road, rides beautifully and offers agile, responsive handling.

Its five-cylinder diesel engine (there’s also a 2.2-litre, four-cylinder diesel variant) is impressively powerful yet sips only 8.4 litres per 100 kilometres and is right at home in city traffic.

We drove a six-speed manual model (you can have an auto for an extra couple of grand) which, despite the car’s size and ruggedness, offers effortless gear-changes and a light, progressive clutch.

At a quick glance, not much separates the Mazda and its Ford cousin inside. The curve of the dash varies a bit, but apart from a Mazda badge on the steering wheel, there is little to distinguish it from the Ranger.

Flex. Ability.

Our crew cab was adequately roomy both in front and back, with all seats offering decent levels of comfort.

The cockpit fitout is more car-like than we’re used to in workmanlike machines such as this.

Standard kit included satellite navigation, something of a standard across the Mazda range but a conspicuous omission on the top-level Ford.

Countering that is the fact that a reversing camera on the Mazda, viewed via a clever little screen built into the rear-vision mirror, is an option, rather than standard kit. Surely a reversing camera should be standard on all high-riding vehicles.

Functions including audio controls and cruise control settings are accessed via buttons on the steering wheel, although toggling through the trip computer settings meant locating a fiddly little button on the instrument binnacle.

Like the Ranger, the BT50 enjoys a five-star

safety rating – something that’s still a rarity in utes, although it’s becoming more common with the raft of new models hitting the market. Safety kit includes an advanced occupant safety cell, Electronic Stability Program and side curtain airbags.

While two-wheel-drive is the normal driving configuration, switching to all-wheel-drive can be achieved on the fly, with the simple push of a button on the dash, adding some further security when the weather turns slippery.

Although much of our 400 kilometres in the big Mazda was clocked up in heavy traffic, the trip meter read a remarkable 9.1 litres per 100 kilometres at the end of the week.

Ultimately, it’s a tough choice between the Mazda and its Ford ‘twin’. We thought the Ford probably looked the better of the two, but the Mazda’s sharp pricing would probably win the day.

MY MOTORING INSIDER The latest news from MWPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man on the ground.

Five stars for VOLT

Lexus tops Japanese quality survey

There are four new entrants in ANCAPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-Star Safety rating. The Holden Volt, Audi Q3, Renault Megane and New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nissan Juke, all achieved the coveted 5-Star ANCAP rating. Most interesting was the performance of Holdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batterypowered VOLT. With its eight airbags and impact absorbing crash structures, ANCAP reported the VOLT is on par with â&#x20AC;&#x153;traditionally poweredâ&#x20AC;? models.

Fixed-price servicing A Bulletproof Bentley?

The Guardian reports that Bentley is contemplating an â&#x20AC;&#x153;amour platedâ&#x20AC;? version of its cars. Aussies are unlikely to ever see it, however, as it will be tailored to clients in the Middle East, Russia and Latin America. If all goes to plan, Bentley will compete with BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s armoured 7 series and Rolls Royceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s armoured Phantom.

Volkswagen has hinted it will introduce a new fixed-price servicing schedule in the coming months.

Other manufacturers to have already brought in similar programs include Toyota, Mitsubishi, Renault and Honda. VWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent sales growth now has it in a top 10 position. Many of these sales are in diesel variants and unsuspecting customers pay more for servicing of diesel vehicles, mainly due to higher oil costs.

JD Powerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest New Vehicle Initial Quality Survey ranks Lexus the highest in the study, followed by Toyota and Honda. The 2012 Survey is based on responses from 12,758 purchasers of new vehicles in the first two to nine months of ownership in Japan. Overall the quality has an improvement of seven per cent on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey.

EYE-OPENING TECHNOLOGY WORDS Peter Atkinson AAP How long will it be before cars actually start driving themselves?

Not long, I suspect, at the current rate of progress.

Radar-guided cruise control, lane-departure warnings, blind-spot indicators, crash-mitigation systems and driver fatigue alerts are among the innovations that have made cars not only safer, but smarter.

Subaru is the latest to join the high-tech club with its new EyeSight system, to be offered on high-end versions of its flagship Liberty and Outback models.

Subaru’s EyeSight uses small stereo cameras, mounted in a unit near the car’s rear-view mirror atop the windscreen, to scan the road ahead for potential hazards.

Drift across a centre line and a shrill beep lets you know that you’d better get back on track.

If you’re sitting in heavy traffic and the car in front moves off without you noticing, EyeSight will let out

a little beep to alert drivers distracted by their iPhones.

It’s particularly clever stuff.

Subaru claims that some insurers (including its partner Allianz) have recognised the safety benefits of EyeSight by reducing premiums by up to 20 per cent on cars fitted with the device.

Subaru’s system also includes an adaptive cruise control which allows the driver to choose a set distance between your car and the vehicle in front. Should the vehicle ahead perform a sudden stop, though, EyeSight quickly engages the brakes to avoid a tail-end collision.

We tested EyeSight in the recently refreshed Subaru Outback wagon. At least once, it helped alert us to a potentially tricky situation before an object – in this case a darkly dressed pedestrian on

an unlit road – was visible to the naked eye.

While the regular beeps from the system can be a little irritating, it most certainly does what it is designed to do: keep the driver alert and aware of any hazards.

When an obstacle is detected, it uses brake assist to optimise braking efficiency, and will even apply the brakes if the driver does not.

A pre-collision throttle management function will, if the driver accidentally applies full throttle with a barrier or large obstruction in the way, limit the car’s acceleration.

EyeSight is part of a mid-model update for the Outback and is available only on the Outback 3.6R Premium model (with a drive-away price of $57,490). It’s also available on the Outback’s sibling Liberty 3.6R Premium sedan, costing $4000 less.

While they don’t get EyeSight, base-model Outbacks haven’t been forgotten in the mid-life update either. The 2.5i model gets a $1000 price cut to $37,490 despite the inclusion of $2500 worth of extra gear, including reversing camera and satellite navigation.

The satellite navigation system is a

$8990 Drive-away

good one. On our test machine it was displayed on an attractive and vivid colour screen and could easily be programmed in touch-screen mode.

Another innovation on the Outback is an electronic park brake with a hill-hold function, a nice feature on a car in this price range.

Given that the Outback is starting to show its age in some respects, the equipment boost is welcome.

The 3.6R (that’s Subaru talk for a six-cylinder) Premium model we tested boasted an impressively smooth and punchy engine.

This latest version of the Outback is not the prettiest car Subaru has ever designed, but what it lacks in style it more than makes up for in comfort and practicality.

With added space has come more refinement, more luxury and a sturdy, big-car feel. Subaru’s clever Si-Drive system, which allows the driver to select various driving modes, adds another dimension to the driving experience. Not to mention the fact that it’s got one eye on the road ahead – and another on the future.

Kia Motors Corporation and SBS, a national TV and radio network in South Korea, funded the construction of the school, which will serve as the project’s official base camp.

The ceremony drew 700 local residents and was attended by Kia Motors Corporation’s director of management strategy, Gui-Hyun Choi, and Jin-Ok Yang, the secretary general of Good Neighbours, an international humanitarian non-government organisation in General Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

Kia plans to give $US13 million ($12.6 million) of funding for the project in the 2012 fiscal year.

All the facilities at the Maendeleo Secondary School will be in full operation starting from next year.

Kia plans to expand the Green Light Project to other countries.

Out of a little garage in northeastern Slovenia comes a new supercar – and it is already joining the ranks of the world’s elite, alongside Lamborghini and Ferrari.

Only six months after presenting his first prototype at Monaco’s Top Marques event, Aljosa Tusek, 46, has been invited to London’s exclusive Salon Privé car show, which ran earlier this month, and customers from all over the world keep calling.

Far from a sleek assembly line, however, his Renovatio T500 saw the light of day in a friend’s garage.

A former racer, Tusek designed it in his spare time, building it with the help of about 10 fellow car enthusiasts over several years, while balancing a full-time job with an international tyre company.

“A moment comes when you decide to stop racing, but you do not want to quit it,” he says. “Since I could not find a car that would satisfy me the way racing did, I decided to make it myself.”

Using the Slovak K1-Attack racer as a basis, he created a supercar

equipped with an Audi V8 FSI engine with 450 horse power, that weighs approximately one tonne and can accelerate from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in 3.7 seconds.

And the 300,000 euro ($373,000) car – listed as one of the highlights at the Monaco show – has already earned a shining review from the renowned BBC auto show Top Gear, which described it as “massively fast”, “agile” and “quite civilised”.

A supercar – a fast, powerful or luxurious car – usually costs between 500,000 and 600,000 euros but Tusek consciously kept the price down to sell his first models more easily, to enter the market and to get his name known.

KNOW YOUR

AGENT PREVIEW Unless you’re married to a real estate agent, chances are you have no idea what the job involves day-to-day. But whether you’re buying, selling or renting, it’s likely you will work closely with an agent at some point – and this will usually involve your most valuable asset. So what do you need to know about real estate agents?

WORDS Jarna Baudinette

[ 38 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ SE P TE M B E R 14, 2 0 1 2

38.indd 1

WHAT DO THEY DO? An agent’s job is to take a property to the marketplace, field any interest on it, and try to convert that interest into offers and an eventual contract to buy it. As well as a solid understanding of the local market, a good agent needs impressive communication and negotiation skills and a solid work ethic.

Peter Ford is the director of Complete Property Training and conducts intensive threeday courses for people looking to obtain their salespersons and property management certificate.

This is the entry qualification for the industry and what the majority of sales agents have (agency principals and most sales managers later go on to obtain their full real estate agents licence).

“I tell [new agents] that starting in real estate is a little like opening a pizza shop – the sheer fact that you’re there doesn’t mean you’re going to do business,” Ford says.

“You need to prospect for clients, get some listings, market those listings, find buyers, educate your sellers, and negotiate with buyers and sellers. And that’s just for one listing – then it all starts again.”

Some tasks aren’t directly related to earning an income, such as putting out signs, conducting multiple inspections and carefully maintaining a database of contacts and buyers. Agents must also explore marketing opportunities, which involves booking and creating ads, doing letterbox drops and uploading properties to relevant websites.

“Plus there’s a whole ream of compliancy with paperwork – making sure it’s appropriately signed by all parties, and so on,” Ford says. “It’s not an easy job, and quite often you’re dealing with someone’s largest asset and you’ve got to be cruel to be kind with regards to the advice you give – on property presentation, price expectation and buyer feedback.”

For this reason, Ford says agents need to have an assertive, but strongly empathic character.

Bevan Horsnell, who is principal of Belle Property Buderim, agrees that communication is key to being a successful agent.

“You need to be able to identify and relate to people quickly – our job is to make a connection with sellers first, but also with buyers, to be able to communicate the sellers’ needs and make buyers understand why we’re asking for the money we are,” Horsnell says.

HOW MUCH DO THEY EARN? If a real estate agent sells your home, you’ll need to pay commission, which is calculated on the sale price. While agents can negotiate their commission, in Queensland it is capped at a maximum of five per cent of the first $18,000 of the sale price, plus 2.5 per cent of the balance –for example, a home that sells for $485,000 will attract a maximum commission of $12,575.

(In comparison, the average commission in the United States is around six per cent, which would come to $29,100.)

Most agents are also paid a base salary by their employing agency, but this is often on a debit/credit arrangement, where the wages paid are later deducted from the agent’s commission.

An agent on a traditional agreement will keep from 30 to 60 per cent of their commission, with the remainder going to their employer or agency; some work as ‘conjunctional’ agents, where they are employed as contractors and keep a much higher percentage of commissions but pay their own superannuation and don’t accrue leave benefits.

As most real estate activity takes place on the weekend, agents often work six- or seven-day weeks, and keep in mind they don’t get paid until a property settles – which is an average of 30 to 60 days after the contract is finalised. Despite this, Ford says the entry costs are minimal and real estate can be a lucrative career for agents willing to work hard.

“The beauty of the industry is that the rewards are immense,” Ford says. “Being a commission-driven industry there’s no ceiling to what you can earn.”

Peter Ford

WHY DO YOU NEED ONE? While you may hear talk or see websites suggesting agents are unnecessary and commission is a rip-off, think again. Aside from doing all the legwork and filling out endless legal documents, at the end of the day you are paying your agent to be objective about the pricing and sale of your property – which is something you, as an emotionally invested owner, may find difficult.

“The buyer’s motivation for buying a property is always different and very individual, but a home is worth only what the person who loves it the most is willing to pay,” Horsnell says. “In turbulent markets, like what we’ve seen over the past few years, the difference between the current market value and what the owner thinks the value is can be streets apart.

“The actual reality of a property’s value is determined by the market, not by what the owner paid for it or what they thought it was worth when they finished the renovations, and so on.”

Horsnell also says the quality of feedback is generally much higher when dealing with an agent.

“From an agent’s perspective, the reality of selling real estate is that most buyers don’t want to deal with an owner themselves, they always prefer to deal with an intermediary,” he says, adding this is often because buyers putting in an initial offer may feel they are emotionally blackmailing the owner, or that the level of the offer may personally offend them. “For this reason, agents always elicit more buyers and better feedback than private sellers.”

VIC MURPHY

To get the most out of your relationship with your agent, make sure you are clear about your expectations regarding communication and feedback.

“One of the first things any agent worth their salt should be finding out is exactly what their owners require from a feedback perspective,” Horsnell says. “Some only want an email once a week, while some prefer to be contacted every day by phone. Some don’t want to hear any bad news at all, so you have to learn how to deliver feedback according to their needs.”

WHAT ABOUT ETHICS? In 2011 Reader’s Digest compiled a list of Australia’s most trusted professions, and sadly it wasn’t surprising to see real estate agents come in 42nd out of 45 – just ahead of car salesmen, politicians and telemarketers (but behind journalists, celebrities and even sex workers).

While many falsely believe agents are inherently dodgy, residential real estate is actually a heavily regulated industry, and all the annoying paperwork your agent makes you sign doubles as your legal protection.

In Queensland, agents come under the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000, which sets out licencing and contract requirements and establishes an industry-wide code of conduct. In addition to this, agents who are members of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) must adhere to its Standards of Business Practice agreement, which REIQ’s training services

manager, Anna McMaster, says provides an additional level of protection for consumers.

As most Queenslanders will deal with an agent on a day-to-day basis at some point, McMaster says it is essential for the public to understand there are significant protections available to them as well as serious consequences for the few agents who break the rules.

“It’s really important for individuals and consumers to realise that this is a profession, rather than a trade, and it’s also important for us at the REIQ to continuously improve the way agents do business,” she says.

“It’s quite a complex job, not just a ‘people person’s’ job – that is a big part of it, but agents absolutely have to be aware of their legal obligations. Real estate agents are often working with people’s biggest investment – whether that’s their home or their superannuation, for investment purposes – and it isn’t something to be taken lightly.”

McMaster says the vast majority of agents are honest, hard-working professionals committed to doing the right thing by consumers, because they know “their ongoing success is absolutely reliant on their reputation”.

Horsnell agrees that “impeccable integrity and ethics” are central to the profession, which is a long-term one. “The agents who are the best build long-term relationships with their clients – in their particular area there’ll be buyers and sellers they’ve worked with six or seven times,” he says.

“To be able to do that, you’ve got to provide the trust and value.”

A snapshot of who’s doing what in the industry IT’S BUSINESS BUYING TIME

R

od Russell from Savvy Business Sales is gearing up for a busy spring selling season, as business owners get set to sell, and buyers emerge on the Coast.

So what is it about spring? “We find people get financials done at the end of June and by August, September they are ready to sell,” he says.

And the buyers are out, Russell adds. “A lot of our buyers are second business owners and of course people relocating and redundancies.”

Russell expects a lot of ex-public servants will be looking for employment, and with limited opportunities for many, they will be looking to buy themselves a job with a small business. “We feel we will get a lot of people relocating,” he says.

The Newman Government redundancies will

A lot of our buyers are second business owners, people relocating and redundancies

push many to consider a sea change, he believes.

“Those people that do relocate, if they can’t find employment, buying a business is a great option for them.”

Russell is encouraging any business owner who is considering selling, to seriously look into it.

“The problem we find is because residential values have been hit hard, people think business is the same, but it’s not. A lot of business owners don’t realise there is a market.”

Russell says there are plenty of willing buyers out there, and advises anyone who is not completely motivated in their small business to consider selling. “We do a lot of sales of people who have come out of small business had a break and come back into small business,” he adds.

Savvy is calling out for more listings. “We need more stock,” Russell says, adding that a business which is marketed well will attract buyers.

SALE A GOOD SIGN Platinum Properties’ Steve Kealey had some happy vendors on the weekend.

The property he was marketing on Buddina’s Pacific Boulevard sold at auction for $1,055,000, well above expectations.

So what was the secret of his success?

“The vendors were committed to a strong marketing campaign with a total of 62 inspections,” Kealey says. Those in attendance estimate there were more than 100 people at the auction, with 12 bidders and four buyers that couldn’t commit under auction conditions. The home eventually sold to a young local family, says Kealey.

So is this a good sign for the market? “I would like to think it is a good sign,” Kealey say says, “with 12 bidders plus four po post-auction buyers. All those pe people had $800,000 to a m million to spend so the money is out there, it’s just people are looking for bargains.”

pring is a great time to own property in the hinterland.

Spending time in larger backyards is such a treat in the summer months, a treat that many shore-hugging Sunshine Coasters miss out on. One of my favourite things to do in the spring is to get my outdoor area spruced up for a summer of entertaining and relaxation.

This season, why not make your outdoor room your favourite spot to hang out? The secret to creating outdoor spaces you will really use is to make them so beautiful that they fill your senses, and so easy to maintain that they don’t add stress to your life.

Here are some ideas.

My historic home is outfitted with a few patios, a necessity back in the days before air-conditioning. These open areas are lovely, but they are woefully exposed to everything Mother Nature dishes out, from high

furniture, and even though they get damp during a storm, they dry nicely.

We live on our screened porch during the summer, so our cushions get a lot of wear and tear. Every few years, when I need to recover the cushions, I usually try a whole new look. But I am so over the moon about the blue and cream ticking on my cushions right now that I’m repeating it. The ticking acts like a neutral, allowing me to use a host of different colours and patterns in pillows, area rugs and other accents.

If your outdoor room is only partially protected, use items that can handle a bit of stress. Then sit back and enjoy the serenity that comes from living in the hinterland.

CANCER [Jun 22-Jul 23] Get ready for a weekend when you really walk your talk. Pluto helps you get up-close-and-personal with a loved one, while Mars encourages you to find fun ways to get fit.

LEO [Jul 24-Aug 23] With the new moon in your money sector, take stock of your financial situation.

And don’t forget to do an inventory on your inner wealth – which includes your self-esteem and core values.

VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23] It’s the best time of the year to start a project or initiate important changes in your life. You can get where you want to go by having a plan, and then following through with confidence.

LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23] The new moon encourages you to tune into your imaginative, intuitive and instinctive self. Be inspired by birthday great Lauren Bacall: “Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.”

SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22] The new moon shines a spotlight on your goals and dreams for the future. The sun is asking you to aim for gold, while Pluto will help you follow through with passion and purpose.

SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21] There’s a lot going on at work so step back and look at the current situation from a fresh perspective. Could improved communication and a creative approach turn things around?

CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20] Have fun formulating your goals for the rest of the year. For many curious Capricorns, a business trip or heavenly holiday looms large in your plans for the coming months.

AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19] The new moon indicates a shift of gear in an important area of life. This weekend, the heavens signal a fresh start for Aquarians involving intimacy issues or money matters.

PISCES [Feb 20-Mar 20] With the new moon and Mercury visiting your partnership zone, love is in the air. Clear communication is the secret to finding – and maintaining – a satisfying relationship.

SURF REPORT with Steve Harris from Suburban Surf

Well surfers if you think the last few weeks have been poor for surf the news gets no better this week.

On Friday there is a predicted building of a S/SE windswell but nothing over two foot at most beaches.

Winds will be S/SW early with a S/SE change later.

Saturday will produce only tiny waves up to a foot on the points with the S/SE swell easing. Winds will again be SW early, turning SE throughout the day and unfortunately on Sunday the waves will be even smaller. So all in all the best days are Friday and Saturday early morning while the winds are offshore, but still only a tiny windswell. Best bet is get up early for the high tide around 6am and try to find a bank on the open beaches. Here’s hoping we get some rideable waves sooner rather than later. Good surfing.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Flathead will be on the drift from the Cod Hole to Chambers Island in the Maroochy River.

Flicking plastic lures always produces fish this time of year as the larger flathead move in to breed. There will be bream and trevally at the bars of all rivers with frogmouth pillies and prawns best.

SURF: Tailor are present along most beaches after good gutters are found. Dart and whiting will be working low tide gutters with pippies returning better sizes.

OFFSHORE: When conditions allow, snapper and spotted mackerel will be working bait schools from Currimundi to Noosa with better quality taking pillies dawn and dusk, after heavy berleying. Check Barwon Banks for squire, pearlies and mixed reef fish with squid the preferred bait.

FRESHWATER: Bjelke-Petersen and Boondooma are returning bass and golden perch on jigged plastics and sinking flies with early morn best. Somerset firing for golden perch and bass using live shrimps. Smaller dams like Borumba are also worth a visit for Mary River cod and saratoga on a mix of lures and live baits.
