GREAT SAVINGS

f I had a dollar for every time I’d said in the past year, “I wish I had a bit more cash to buy an investment property”, well, I’d have enough for a deposit. The old adage that you don’t know you have skimmed the bottom of the property market until you are on your way up – and therefore you have missed the window to buy at the lowest prices – is holding true. The Sunshine Coast property market has been at the bottom so long, it’s hard to believe it will ever pick up again. But that’s not what the experts are saying. This week Jarna Baudinette has been analysing the data (over the page) and I (in MPP on page 38) have been speaking to those in the property know, and the news looks good. While they are not saying ‘recovery’, it seems we may not be far from it, and while prices are still affordable, if you have spare

] cash and don’t invest it in the local real estate market, well I reckon in a few years you’ll be wishing you had. I can’t believe it is again school holidays, which means lots of visitors, a break from school lunches and (sorry, younger Pearson) vacation care. It also means our school holiday fun guide, which starts on page 30. We have our newest special feature, our food guide appearing this week (on pages 28 and 29), because we know you’ll want to head to some of our great restaurants to balance out all that chocolate you’re about to consume. We’re also celebrating a bit of a milestone in the MWP office this week. A year ago My Property Preview was reinvented, we inherited some fantastic new staff and gained lots of new readers. It’s been a great 12 months, so thanks for sharing it with us. Have a safe and happy Easter.

PROPERTY PICK-UP PREVIEW The Sunshine Coast is one of a number of Queensland regions that is moving into a major recovery period in the real estate market. Breathe a sigh of relief, because things are definitely looking up. WORDS Jarna Baudinette

istorical data from the Real Estate Institute of Queensland shows the Sunshine Coast region has just emerged from its most challenging period in more than 20 years. As the graph shows, real estate sales volumes – the numbers of properties sold in a particular year – peaked on the Sunshine Coast in 2002, with a total of 22,336 transactions. In that year 10,624 houses changed hands on the Coast, along with 6821 units and 4891 blocks of land. The numbers dropped off over the next couple of years, before peaking again in 2007 at 17,756. However, in late 2008 the GFC happened, and the local property market took a turn for the worse. While sales volumes were low for a number of years, in 2011 they reached a historical low: that year, only 3883 houses were sold, 2253 units and 882 vacant lots, for a total of 7018. For some context, consider that in 1990 – when the Sunshine Coast’s population was only 160,000, compared to almost 317,000 today – there were 4028 houses, 2019 units and a whopping 3899 blocks of land sold, for a total of 9946. In the early 1990s people were moving to the Coast and building new houses, but in 2011 – despite the fact the local population had doubled – sales volumes were sitting well below that. Bevan Horsnell is principal of Belle Property Buderim, and says his home

REIQ Sunshine Coast zone chair, Lloyd Edwards, says sentiment has been improving in the marketplace, with conditions faring well and a more upbeat and positive view

suburb particularly suffered. “In 2011 Buderim as an individual area was one of the hardest hit sales rates on the Coast,” Horsnell says. “If you look at the popularity of Buderim – it’s one of the most popular website searches in Australia – and we had a turnover drop from 848 in 2007 to a low of 371 in 2011. “You’re looking at almost a 45 per cent drop, and median prices were down by around 12 per cent in the same year.” Local agents acknowledge the past few years have been tough for local home owners, with a drop in prices and low sales volumes making the market a difficult place for sellers. “You’re trying to spread sales about amongst the buyers who are around in that period. There was a lot of stock on the market, and it was very hard for sellers to understand that the market had fallen away so drastically,” Horsnell says. “If you ask people, real estate was the last thing on their mind during that period. Nobody was talking about it at barbecues, and in fact it was almost a taboo topic, because anybody who came onto the market was suffering.” Sales volumes are an important indicator of the health of a market, and now, after a tough few years, it seems the Sunshine Coast is taking its first steps toward a recovery. The most recent quarterly data released by the REIQ, for the December 2012 quarter, shows sales volumes increased by 27 per cent on same period in 2011. REIQ Sunshine Coast zone chair, Lloyd Edwards, says sentiment has been improving in the marketplace, with conditions faring well and a more “upbeat and positive” view pervading. “We are seeing more completed sales, most likely due to buyers being frustrated by the tight rental market conditions in the region,” Edwards says. “The month of December saw uncharacteristically high activity despite the dramatic decrease in properties coming onto the market as interest

rates reduced their holding costs.” Preliminary figures released in February showed sales volumes had increased by eight per cent across Queensland, and REIQ CEO Anton Kardash said it was the second consecutive quarter where the market “had exceeded expectations”. “Historically the December quarter is quieter than the September quarter – and we did have a very strong September quarter last year – but what these figures are showing us is that buyers are continuing to be more active than the year before,” Kardash said. In a recent Matusik Missive blog post, leading Brisbane property commentator Michael Matusik gave ten reasons why he believes it’s a good time to buy in Queensland. Matusik says a recovery market is categorised by five key features: “rising sales; a return to price growth, albeit usually quite mild; improving yields; more building activity; and a more equal market” (not a buyer’s or seller’s market, but a happy medium in the middle somewhere). He says the Sunshine Coast is one of several Queensland regions which, after a tough period, are now “knocking on the door to recovery”. That first indicator – rising sales volumes – is what the Coast has been experiencing for the past few months. “For the 4556 postcode and surrounding area, in 2012 as compared to 2011, in the third quarter sales were up by 10 per cent, and in the fourth quarter we were up by 20 per cent,” Horsnell says. Karen Jones from Next Property Group focuses on the top-end and waterfront markets, and says an increase in demand and sales is playing out there as well. “It seems to be building some momentum,” Jones says. “I think the demand is increasing now and people are more confident to come back in and buy prime positions and top-end properties. The buyers are still quite picky and

Coast, and in properties on the market in 2011 sat for six months with nothing. Confidence has improved, sentiment has improved, and buyers are now committing. “If buyers keep coming back in the numbers they are, hopefully the supply and demand factors will start to change, and will be on a more positive note for sellers.” While no one disputes it’s been a challenging few years, it’s good to remember there’s at least one upside to a sluggish market – increased affordability. Nambour has traditionally been the Coast’s affordability hotspot, and Day & Grimes principal Ian Black says he has seen lower prices allow new buyers to enter the market for the first time. “Certainly Nambour has had its share of the change continued over >

discerning, but if what’s on offer is really well presented and put to market with a good strategy, the buyers are coming back in droves. “When you look at comparable properties I was marketing in 2011 – beautiful waterfront properties – people would come to the open homes, but there was very little interest in making offers or committing to purchasing. That’s definitely changed.” Jones cites the example of a plantation-style home in Kawana Quays which recently sold after only two weeks on the market. She says when buyers inspect properties with other genuine interest, it helps their confidence to make the decision to purchase. “We had six to 10 people through the open homes and two offers in two weeks,” she says. “Comparable

in the market, and especially the change in the sentiment about buying,” Black says. “It’s been brought about largely because there’s been a sector of the community that was excluded from buying [previously] because prices were beyond affordability. “Now that prices are down and interest rates are down, those two factors have linked together to produce a new sales demographic, and that’s where sales have been occurring. There’s been winners and losers [in the recent market], and these people have been winners.” Black says many of these buyers have taken the opportunity to move out of a crowded rental market. “As far as Nambour is concerned, it’s a nexus between how much you’re paying to rent and how much it would cost to pay off a mortgage. We’re finding with interest rates at historical lows, rents have held firm as a result of people not buying. This has left an imbalance – if you’re paying $20,000 a year in rent and the alternative is to buy, you could buy the same house you’re renting

] for very little extra, if any.” However, current market conditions are also attracting more seasoned buyers. “Astute investors are also realising the market has now given indications that it’s hit the bottom, and have been showing strong interest as well,” Black adds. “The period that we will see between now and the end of another six months – if you’re going to buy I’d move out and do it now. Anytime after that we could start to see supply exhausted, and after that we’ll see prices firm and potentially increase.” Horsnell is also optimistic about the immediate future, but says a return to 2007 or 2008 figures is still a little way off. “Volume is now actually up, but prices will take a little time to return,” Horsnell says. “There is a little bit of time to be had before we get back to reasonable prices. Volume is returning, and as soon as volume returns confidence returns. And then, further in the future, prices.”

Recovery cometh? Another industry expert feeling positive about the market is Michael Matusik. In a recent Matusik Missive blog post titled ‘Recovery Cometh’, Matusik gave 10 reasons why it is a good time to buy in Queensland, including renewed population growth, tight rental vacancy rates, predicted growth in dwelling values and a 10 per cent increase in the number of settled sales across south-east Queensland over the past 12 months: “Overall properties are now selling faster than new ones are being listed,” he wrote. These factors operate alongside other fundamental strengths. “On a broad scale – interest rates are low and still falling; gross rental yields are now often in positive territory; the sharemarket is improving and we have plenty of money saved – in term deposits; in our super funds or in advanced payments on the mortgage,” Matusik said. “The past shows us that it

usually goes – cash f rst; shares second and property third. The experienced keep telling me you make your cash-f ow by trading shares and real money in buying and holding property.” Matusik says poor sentiment has been partly to blame for the lagging market. “It is a somewhat closed circuit,” he wrote. “[It] starts with improved liquidity; improving prof ts (and a better share market); competitive returns; higher household formation and scarcity –perceived or otherwise. Human nature slows and stops the cycle – being overly cautious now and in due course greedy. Conf dence is the key. It is missing now.”

EXERCISE CAUTION ON BEACHES

Coffee rock exposed near Teewah Beach

t’s no secret that rough weather and big swells have played havoc with Sunshine Coast beaches from Caloundra all the way to Double Island Point. With the Easter holidays about to get underway, residents and visitors are being reminded that their favourite beach and camping spots need to be treated with caution. Surf Life Saving Queensland Sunshine Coast regional manager Aaron Purchase says recent

weather events have left beaches in “pretty ordinary” condition. “There are a large number of rips and holes that are making it dangerous,” he says. Some areas are experiencing severely eroded beaches, unstable dunes and exposed coffee rock. Purchase is urging people to always swim between the flags and to avoid playing in and around fragile dunes, which could collapse. At Noosa North Shore, exposed rocks and changing conditions are also a risk for motorists driving along the beach and some areas can be passed only at low tide and in 4WD vehicles. Some camp sites have also been closed. Purchase says a roving surf patrol will operate along the north shore throughout the school holiday period but flags will not be set up. He advises people on the north shore to swim in waist deep water and always swim with a friend. “There is normally smaller surf through winter and if it stays that way the beaches will naturally recover,” Purchase says. In the meantime, big tides are expected over Easter and conditions are changing daily. People visiting Coast beaches should check with surf patrols before entering the water and anyone visiting the north shore is advised to check the Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing website for updates.

Help for hinterland youth Youth disengagement in the hinterland is being addressed through a new initiative, the Maleny Collaboration Partnership announced last week. Queensland Youth Industry Links brokered the partnership between Hinterland Community Development, Maleny State High School, Maleny Neighbourhood Centre and United Synergies, to help create and enrich student learning opportunities beyond the classroom and make classroom learning more meaningful for young people. Partnership broker Deborah Moseley says, “Working together, the partnership will build closer links and collaborations between education, industry and community.”

APPEAL TO RAISE NEWSTART

An ACOSS rally at Parliament House, Canberra earlier in the year

ustralia’s peak welfare organisation has used its national conference to launch a campaign for an increase in the unemployment benefit. “You can’t survive on $35 a day,” Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) chief executive Cassandra Goldie told ABC radio on Monday. “It is not good at a human level and it is not good for us to be trying to support people into jobs.” ACOSS, along with the Australian Greens and some federal Labor MPs,

is pushing for a $50 a week increase to the Newstart Allowance. Goldie told the ACOSS annual conference in Adelaide on Monday that one in eight Australians is living in poverty, including one in six children. That was an indictment on the nation, she said. Recent changes to the parenting payment had been especially savage with some single parents losing up to $100 a week after being transferred to Newstart. As well, more people were being refused access to the disability support pension. Previously two out of three applicants were granted the pension but that was now one in two, Goldie said. “This is not a question of throwing money away,” she said. “It is actually about ensuring that we have a reasonable social safety net which is sufficient for people to survive on whilst you are trying to support people into paid work.” AAP

CHINA’S FIRST LADY A MEDIA SENSATION

hina’s glamorous first lady has become a media and internet sensation as she accompanies husband President Xi Jinping on a state visit to Russia. Already famous and immensely popular in her homeland due to her long career as a singer, Peng Liyuan set Chinese media and social network sites abuzz with her elegant style from the moment she stepped off the plane in Moscow. Photographs of Peng and Xi were plastered across the front pages of state media, which usually do not focus on the country’s first ladies. Major newspapers in Beijing on Saturday featured a shot of the Chinese leader and his wife smiling as they left their plane, rather than a photo of Xi’s handshake with President Vladimir Putin on his first overseas trip as head of state. Wearing a navy blue coat standing

[

beside her husband, Peng was even shown briefly arm-in-arm with Xi in a public display of affection rare among the communist leadership. Peng did not stop smiling before and during the official welcome from their Russian hosts. She effortlessly projected an image of youth and spontaneity in stark contrast to what the Chinese public have grown accustomed to over the past 30 years. Her immediate predecessor Liu Yonqing, the austere and reserved wife of former president Hu Jintao, was rarely exposed to the limelight and usually seen standing behind her husband. AAP

DINOSAUR

DISCOVERY

PREVIEW From South America to England, amazing discoveries are being made that are helping piece together the puzzle of our planet’s prehistory.

t’s been a busy month for the planet’s palaeontologists. What has been described as the most complete fossil ever found was unveiled in Rio de Janeiro last week. The fossil of the huge prehistoric flying reptile is particularly special because “virtually the entire skeleton and even the skull is preserved”, says Alexander Kellner, a palaeontologists of the Rio Federal University. Last week he presented a life-size mock-up of the pterosaur or winged lizard with a wingspan of 8.2 metres. The fossil (represented in the picture above), attributed to the Tropeognathus mesembrinus species, was found in the Chapada do Araripe plateau of north-eastern Brazil. Kellner describes it as “the biggest ever found in the southern hemisphere and the third worldwide”. “We can prove that these giant reptiles flew in

the skies of north-east Brazil much earlier than initially thought because fossils were found in rock formations dating 110 million years,” says Kellner. He adds it was previously thought that pterosaurs lived at the end of the Cretaceous period, some 72 to 86 million years ago. Pterosaur species have been found in places like Morocco, Britain, Mongolia, the US, China and north-eastern Brazil. In nearby Peru, the fossilised remains of a giant pelican-like bird dating back some 35 million years have been uncovered in Ica desert, a site popular among palaeontologists for its abundance of whale, shark and penguin fossils. Klaus Honninger, who heads the team that made the find, says the bird resembles a giant pelican that stood more than two metres tall dating from the Oligocene epoch. The Oligocene, part of

Universal truths the Paleogene Period, spanned from 40 million years to 23 million years before the present day, and was marked by the extinction of numerous species, a general cooling and increased aridity. “The fossil clearly retains remnants of skin,” Honninger says. “It is an extraordinary discovery because no similar specimen has been discovered anywhere else in the world before.” Meanwhile in England a species of prehistoric flying reptile dating from 115 million years ago was discovered by a girl who was only five years old at the time. Daisy Morris is to have the species named after her as Vectidraco daisymorrisae. The youngster, who is now nine, stumbled across the fossil on a beach on the Isle of Wight in 2009 and took it to local dinosaur expert Martin Simpson. Along with his colleagues from the University of Southampton, Simpson confirmed the fossil came from a new species. Vertidraco means “dragon from the Isle of Wight” while the rest of the title is named after the young fossil hunter. “When Daisy and her family brought the fossilised remains to me in April 2009, I knew I was looking at something very special. And I was right,” Simpson says. “The fossil turned out to be a completely new genus and species of small pterosaur, a flying reptile from 115 million years ago in the Lower Cretaceous period, which because of the island’s eroding coastline, would without doubt have been washed away and destroyed if it had not been found by Daisy. “It just shows that, continuing a long tradition in palaeontology, major discoveries can be made by amateurs, often by being in the right place at the right time.” The pterosaur has since been donated to the Natural History Museum, which recently named the Isle of Wight as the “dinosaur capital of Great Britain”.

In other science news, new results from a look into the split second after the Big Bang indicate the universe is 80 million years older than previously thought, but the core concepts of the cosmos – how it began, what it’s made of and where it’s going – seem to be on the right track. The findings released last week bolster a key theory called inflation, which says the universe burst from subatomic size to its nowobservable expanse in a fraction of a second. The Big Bang is the most comprehensive theory of the universe’s beginning. According to the theory, the visible portion of the universe was smaller than an atom and in a split second it exploded, cooled and expanded rapidly, much faster than the speed of light. The European Space Agency’s Planck space probe looked back at the afterglow of the Big Bang, and those results have now added about 80 million years to the universe’s age, putting it 13.81 billion years old. The probe also found the cosmos is expanding a bit slower than originally thought, has a little less of that mysterious dark energy than astronomers figured, and a tad more normal matter. But scientists say those are

r e t r e v n I Dual Track

small changes in calculations about the cosmos, nothing dramatic when dealing with numbers so massive. “We’ve uncovered a fundamental truth of the universe,” says George Esfthathiou, director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmology at the University of Cambridge, who announced the Planck satellite mapping. The $US900 million (about $800 million) Planck space telescope was launched in 2009 and has spent more than 15 months mapping the sky, examining light fossils and sound echoes from the Big Bang by looking at the background radiation in the cosmos. The device is expected to keep transmitting data until late 2013, when it runs out of cooling fluid. Outside scientists say this result confirms on a universal scale what the announcement earlier this month by a different European group confirmed on a subatomic scale – that they had found the Higgs boson particle which explains mass in the universe. “What a wonderful triumph of the mathematical approach to describing nature,” says Brian Greene, a physicist who was not part of the new research. “It’s an amazing AAP story of discovery.”

THE RISE OF DRY SHAMPOO

f your hair is in need of a wash but you’re short on time, try the quick hair fix many people are now turning to: dry shampoo. Dry shampoo is a hair product designed to work without water, absorbing oil in the hair when it’s not practical to use water and traditional shampoos. People use dry shampoo in between washes so as to avoid having to spend time restyling hair, and it also exposes the hair to less heat, because it cuts down on the number of times you blow dry your hair. There are a variety of dry shampoos on the market in both spray and powder form. They are typically based on powders such as starch, silica or talc and are designed to absorb excess oil from the hair before being brushed out. They are often coloured with cocoa or carob powder for darker hair, and for those who use white dry shampoos,

Coveting Kate’s nose

p don’t use too much or you may end up looking like Marie Antoinette. Some dry shampoos contain questionable ingredients that could be a danger to health if inhaled. Aluminium starch octenylsuccinate is an aluminium salt and anti-caking agent used in dry shampoos and other beauty products that could pose health risks with regular exposure. Another problematic ingredient in dry shampoo is talcum powder. Studies have shown inhaling Try talc can lead to breathing Alterna difficulties and lung damage. dry If you’re at all concerned, o shampo look for talc-free dry shampoos, or organic varieties.

Heard about the ‘no-poo’ movement? Yes, this has actually become a ‘movement’. A growing number of people are rejecting the societal norm of regular hair washing with shampoo, saying it’s cheaper, greener and better for the hair. They might use baking soda, vinegar or raw eggs occasionally, or just rinse hair in warm water. Strange, but true.

A Manhattan plastic surgeon says 20 of his patients have signed up to get ‘royal rhinoplasty’ next month. Stephen Greenberg says he has received a number of requests for the Duchess of Cambridge’s nose. Each cost about $US7000 ($6764). “We have made a file of a dozen Kate Middleton pictures to show patients when they come in for their consultation,” Greenberg told the New York Daily News. Patient Johanna Ricardi said, “It’s just this cute, little perky nose. It’s not too big. It’s not too small. It will pretty much suit any type of face.” Dr Thomas Romo at Manhattan’s Lenox Hill hospital estimates he has performed more than 100 of the surgeries already. “Women, especially over the age of 28, want the nose of a woman who is regal, refined and strong,” Romo says. The trend comes amid speculation over whether the Duchess, who is five months pregnant, is expecting a girl. AAP

trustees (in other words mums and dads) and these are discussed below. For the 2012/2013 financial year and beyond, SMSF trustees are obliged to regularly review the fund’s investment strategy. This includes ensuring the strategy is updated in accordance with current legislation and needs of the members. As part of this review, the trustees are also required to consider whether insurance cover should be obtained for each fund member. While there is no obligation to actually take out cover, the decision must be made carefully in relation to each member and documentation kept in relation to why a certain decision was reached. Another important addition to the trustee’s responsibilities is the need to value the fund’s assets as at June 30 each year and include these new amounts in the fund’s annual accounts and financial statements. If you are in receipt of Social Security benefits including the age pension there are also new provisions in relation to obtaining actuarial certificates for certain types of pensions drawn from your SMSF. Specifically, those new provisions require that the actuarial certificates be certified less than 26 weeks after the start of the relevant financial year. In order to help meet the ever-increasing costs associated with policing these new regulations, the Commonwealth Government has also increased the SMSF Supervisory Levy to $259 per annum. It is important that your SMSF meet all regulatory requirements to avoid possible penalties and to protect your savings. If you have any questions in relation to the management of the fund, it is important you obtain advice from a qualified professional as your decisions will have an impact on the retirement income of fund members.

SEAFOOD

2 cups dried lentils cooked ½ cup fine diced Spanish onion ½ cup chopped coriander stalks 1 /3 cup fine diced red capsicum 1 /3 cup chopped parsley ½ tsp salt for seasoning ¼ tsp ground black pepper ½ tsp ground cumin

6oog fresh snapper fillet (deboned, skin off) 12 fresh peeled Mooloolaba green prawns 2 cooked Moreton Bay bugs

Cook for five minutes. As the bugs are already cooked just heat through in the pan or on the barbecue for about two minutes.

CHEF PROFILE Geoff Haddad, head chef, Maroochy Surf Life Saving Club

Geoff Haddad’s love of providing quality food has seen his career as a chef span more than three decades. The new head chef at Maroochy Surf Life Saving Club admits to trying a few different occupations over the years but says he’s always been more comfortable working in a kitchen. “I always get more enjoyment [as a chef] and that little bit of self-fulfilment from the job,” he says. Before moving to the Coast Haddad spent years working as head

chef or owner of establishments throughout NSW. The 48-year-old started in his role at the surf club in January and has already set about making changes to the menu with the introduction of more seafood. In fact the new menu features 15 seafood dishes. “It’s the biggest request we have – people looking for good seafood and better value seafood meals.” He says the club needs to build a stronger identity as a dining

destination, making the most of its oceanfront location. “They get good, consistent catches here and we want to take advantage of that.” Twelve of the menu items will feature fresh seafood and nine of them are gluten-free dishes. “When people think of seafood dining near the ocean we want them to think of us.” Haddad says most of the old favourites will remain on the menu.

Product from the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s factory is exported all over the world as well as supplying the local Australian market. Nutworks diversified into chocolate and confectionery in 2002 and then in August 2010 Nutworks purchased the successful wholesale packing business of Queensland Nut & Fruit, incorporating the Foodimex brand.

MAKE/MODEL MAZDA 6 DETAILS Four-door sedan and five-door wagon; five seats; choice of fourcylinder petrol or fourcylinder turbo-diesel engines; six-speed manual or double-clutch automatic transmissions. TECH STUFF 2.5-litre SkyACTIVE four-cylinder petrol engine produces 138kW, 250Nm; 2.2-litre turbo-diesel produces 129kW, 420Nm.

A JAPANESE JAGUAR OR AN ORIENTAL AUDI? WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP IMAGES AAP

azda certainly seems to have the Europeans in its sights with its all-new Mazda6 sedan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a model that seems to raise the bar for Asian imports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in looks, presentation and equipment levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet remains keenly priced by comparison to the European marques in its cross-hairs. Despite the fact the previous two 6s were hugely successful models for Mazda, the Hiroshima-based company has not been afraid to make some major changes to a winning formula.

Most notable of those is the decision to do away with the hatchback variant. Almost as dramatic is the change in body shape. The all-new look is part of Mazdaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kodo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; soul of motionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; design philosophy. It also brings with it new engines and technology. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SkyActive, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buzzword for its latest engines and transmissions which, Mazda says, produce more power and performance while using less fuel. Additional technology advances

include iStop and iELoop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a series of safety aids called iACTIVESENSE. iStop is pretty simple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an engine stop-start system, which automatically shuts the engine down when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paused at the lights or in heavy traffic. The system has been rolled out on other Mazda models and mimics similar technology in other brands. iELoop is all-new in this car, a sophisticated means of capturing energy created when the car brakes, storing it in a capacitor and then continued page 36>

FEATURES Five airbags, ABS, collision avoidance system with city-safety feature; blind-spot warning system, lane departure warning; radar guided cruise control; electric seats, mirrors and windows; auto-dimming headlights. THIRST 5.4L/100km (diesel); 6.6L/100km (petrol). VERDICT Sets a new standard for Japanese mid-sizers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and European ones, for that matter. BOTTOM LINE From $33,460; as tested $47,010 (petrol sedan); $51,160 (diesel wagon).

<from page 34 re-using it to power various electrical functions. i-ACTIVESENSE is the umbrella for a welter of electronic driver aids including radar guided cruise control with collision avoidance system; Lane Departure Warning system; and Rear Vehicle Monitoring (blind spot alert); High Beam Control as well as smart brake support and city-brake support, which enable the car to avoid lowspeed collisions. It’s an impressive array of technology on a car with an entry price of $33,460. If that’s not enough to attract new buyers, then its looks certainly will be. The new 6 bears an uncanny resemblance to a Jaguar – XF or XJ – and it looks an overall bigger and more imposing piece of metal than the previous model. There’s more room inside, where the cockpit feels quite generous, particularly in terms of rear-seat legroom. And the boot is massive. As well as looking bigger, it feels bigger and more solid to drive, with impeccable ride and handling

characteristics – once again reminiscent of a European machine. The six-speed double-clutch auto is a beauty – smooth, quick shifts and none of the herky-jerky low-speed issues occasionally delivered by these super-efficient, but sometimes slightly temperamental transmissions. We drove two versions of the new 6 – a high-grade sedan with the 2.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine and six-speed double-clutch auto transmission; and a wagon, fitted with the 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine and the same self-shifting gearbox. Both impressed greatly – but the wagon perhaps more so. It’s a ripper of a powerplant – sharp, responsive and impressively powerful, giving the slinky wagon as much punch as you could possibly want in a car of this style. The 6 is truly a lovely thing to drive. The petrol engine, while lacking the massive 420 Newton metres of the oil-burner, is still satisfying. It boasts an average thirst of 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres which, once again, is hard to fault.

RAIN CHECK FOR YOUR CAR In the wake of recent floods, RACQ is urging Queenslanders whose cars were inundated to have them checked by a qualified professional or risk costly repairs. RACQ Technical Researcher Russell Manning says motorists should take affected vehicles to a mechanic as soon as possible, particularly if floodwater reached the lower levels of car doors or entered the interior. “Driving a car that’s been affected by water can be very risky, especially if mechanical components have been engulfed,” Manning says. “Water in the transmission can affect oils and lead to expensive failures. If water reaches the car’s interior, it could affect complex electrical systems commonly found in late model vehicles, such as engine management, transmission operation and other major systems.” Bill Olah, owner manager of Ron Hill Automatics, says many people who have driven their vehicle through floodwaters make

the mistake of not getting it checked because it appears to be working normally. However, he says the problem rarely shows up straight away. “It may be weeks or months down the road that we see the results of that water contamination,” Olah says. And by the time you start to notice problems, it is usually too late. “In a transmission any water contamination that isn’t dealt with within six to 12 months is terminal,” he says. “If you get it checked straight away it can be saved.”

THE COAST’S NEW

BUILDING BUZZ PREVIEW There’s a tangible feeling of optimism on the Coast, driven by our major construction projects and new home owners and investors recognising that this is a time for new opportunities. WORDS Jemma Pearson

beautiful region. “There are a lot more happy people out there,” says Service Wilson believes low interest rates are helping entice buyers back, but he also points to the positives of the Brightwater development he is selling. “At Aspect North we are close to the [health hub] and also the university [which] is only three kilometres away. Also the road systems have really improved. Leave Aspect North and be in Brisbane city in an hour.” That’s appealing, says Wilson, for city commuters. But the new hospital isn’t just driving activity in Kawana. “The activity at Kawana is a blessing for all of us,” says Service. “Everyone is going ‘wow’ this [the Sunshine Coast] is the place to be.” She points to the development activity in Maroochydore and says the Homemaker Centre is becoming more popular. The area is attracting a mix of buyers. “Quite a few locals, people coming down from up north, a lot of tourists over Christmas,” says Service. “They drive around and there is a lot going on.” Aspect North’s first two stages of 28 units each have sold and settled, and Wilson says they have just launched stage three. He says buyers comprise 15 per cent locals and the rest from away markets, with half the local buyers owneroccupiers and half investors. Those who live away are buying for “investment in the short term but

plan to live on the Coast in coming years”. He says about 18,000 people a day commute to work in Brisbane and given the location of his development, living here and working there is “certainly a viable option”. While Service and Wilson are heartened by the increase in activity, they are cautious about calling it a recovery. “It is too early to say that,” says Wilson. “Certainly in the southern sector of the Coast, within five kilometres of health hub, they are having an extraordinary time. I would say we are at about 7am on the property clock. The next few years will see some positive things.” The confidence is infectious. “Property is a long-term investment and people are realising that again,” says Service. “I am really excited about what is going on all over the Coast. Everyone should be.” Gail Hunter from RGD Developments is certainly excited. She reports an incredible

difference between Christmas 2011 and Christmas 2012 in terms of activity. “I was run off my feet with inquiry this Christmas,” she says. Hunter is seeing a lot of investors return to the market, along with “owner-occupiers wanting to downsize. With everything that is happening at Birtinya, people are finally starting to look into the area.” She says now that the cranes and earth-moving equipment are here, so are the buyers. “I would say a good 20 per cent are locals and other Queenslanders who know the area, the rest are spread among the difference states looking for investment opportunity.” And there are plenty of opportunities with the hospital precinct springing up. “They [buyers] can see that things will only improve. It is all about jobs – if you’ve got jobs and income, that drives other things. [News of the precinct] is obviously getting out there. Confidence is returning.”

n 2013, Maroochydore development Sunshine Cove just keeps growing with the recent announcement of its Savannah Precinct release. The fourth residential precinct in the Sunshine Cove community, Savannah will add some new and exciting lifestyle options. Featuring 82 freehold residential allotments, Savannah offers terrace and laneway allotments plus a new range of park and waterfront home sites. But it also has an exclusive enclave of direct waterfront allotments offering two styles of waterfront living – with highly sought-after direct waterfront sites and a range of waterside terrace allotments. Prices starting at $248,000 for these waterfront blocks. Last year was a busy 12 months for Sunshine Cove. Some 62 new homes were completed, which caused the community to almost double in size as more and more families and couples moved into their new homes. Sarina, Sunshine Cove’s first waterfront precinct, was exceptionally well received. Just two blocks remain for sale in Sarina with many of those already sold supporting new homes or construction crews. Construction will commence soon on a new range of contemporary home designs in the Sarina precinct. Featuring distinctive ‘city-living’ styling, many of the designs offer three and four bedrooms, dual living areas and balconies, plus all the finishes and fixtures you’d expect in a contemporary home.

Construction commenced and is nearing completion in the exclusive north-facing Brighton Precinct, which features 16 large waterfront blocks. Enjoying an enviable position, Brighton residents will have broad sweeping lake views across to the Emporio Village. The opening of Emporio earlier in 2012 further complemented the Sunshine Cove vision for an urban lifestyle. The Sunshine Cove community also helped celebrate the opening of the Maroochy Homemaker Centre during November, a landmark development for the whole Sunshine Coast, let alone the commercial precinct. Within Sunshine Cove, rustic timber boardwalks provide a great way to exercise or just take in the lake views. Residents after a little more exercise will be able to hit more than eight kilometres of bikeways and pathways once the development is complete. In the near future an array of community facilities will also include an adventure playground, barbecue facilities, toilets and car parking.

BRIGHTWATER TOWNHOMES A HIT

he surge in development and infrastructure investment around Kawana has delivered a marked boost to interest and sales at boutique estate Aspect North II. Created by AR Developments, Aspect North is a 123-townhome community on the most elevated site in the Stockland Brightwater Estate.

The project has settled 17 sales since Christmas and contracted 20 others. And these heightened levels of activity show no sign of abating. It helps that Aspect North is close to the emerging Kawana health precinct, and is just 10 minutes from the University of the Sunshine Coast, the future University Hospital and the Maroochydore CBD.

Aspect North homes are large and feature ducted air-conditioning, high ceilings, remote-control garages and ample visitor parking. The homes also offer spectacular views to the Mooloolaba skyline in the north, and uninhibited ocean views to the east. Each townhome has a private courtyard, and the complex has a pool and barbecue area.

E/MAX Realty Excellence is going from strength to strength, with recent growth in its Buderim office more than doubling the team. Principal Amber Fox has been selling real estate in Buderim for more than 12 years and has now had experienced agents Dave Hawkins and Darren Rix join the sales and management team, which she says has revitalised the office and created a new energy based around their three core strengths. “We all have such different strengths, so it’s a really great, powerful blend,” Fox says. Hawkins began his real estate career in 2000 and has recently returned to the industry after working as MPP’s real estate sales manager since 2008, meaning he has a long history in sales and a comprehensive understanding of the local property market. Rix has been selling real estate for more than seven years. “The industry experience in the office has now tripled, and that allows us to really focus on all aspects of real estate – not only offering our clients an unsurpassed level of service for sales and property management, but for our staff to have a strong support network behind them,” Fox says. The RE/MAX Realty Excellence sales team also includes Bob Denman, who focuses on the Noosa and North Shore region, and Cathy Campbell, whose previous experience includes working as an agent in Canada and New Zealand and in new home sales for a local prestige property builder. Experienced property manager Jessica Siegle has also joined the team alongside administration staff Jenny Rix, Linda Feather and Cheryl Cummings. The RE/MAX Realty Excellence team

PROPERTY INSPECTIONS

Loretta’s

RENTAL

WRAP Property Inspections – Does your agent know what they are doing? Thorough and accurate property inspections are key to managing property properly and professionally, whether it is Residential or Commercial Property. Who does your property inspections? What do they look for? How are the reports presented? How frequently are the inspections being done? In my experience it is essential to ensure that your agent knows what to look for during a property inspection. Do they know about the fittings, fixtures and structure? What to report on and when to report it? Does your Property Manager thoroughly assess inside and outside the property? Do they check areas for leakage or dampness on walls adjoining wet areas? Particularly, inside cupboards, under kitchen sinks or cupboards adjoining showers or bathrooms. Are they looking at all outside areas, for example, cracks to driveways/hardstand areas, guttering, downpipes and walls? What about checking for any areas of concern with regards to the Lessee’s safety? Are handrails, balconies, stairs, fire safety (smoke alarms etc), electrical safety switches, pool fencing, blinds and curtain cords compliant with current legislation?

Does your agent point out the importance of having annual pest inspections carried out? And recommending building inspections for suspect issues? The list goes on.

HOROSCOPES 4

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 Calling all rushing rams! Don’t accept things at face value – look a little deeper. If you tune into what people are doing behind the scenes, you’ll uncover fascinating information.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 Others will pay close attention to what you say, as you walk the ﬁne line between being practical and creative. But avoid being possessive on Sunday.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 It’s a wonderful weekend to tackle projects that require stamina and focus – especially at work. But don’t promise more than you can deliver. Conﬁdence and concentration are the keys.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 Relationships will be very intense this weekend, so pace yourself. Friendships are favoured – especially ones involving a shared interest in sport or creative pursuits.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 Restless lions – you’re in a hurry to travel or achieve a major ambition. But circumstances are changing quickly so don’t make any plans until you have more information.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 You’ve got the power! With Mercury – your ruling planet – lighting up your charm zone, use your powers of persuasion to help others and improve your major relationships.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 You’ve got big plans but don’t bite off more than you can chew – especially ﬁnancially. With Saturn sauntering through your money zone, make sure you live within your means.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Your detective skills are sharp this weekend as you put a lover, child, friend or work colleague under the forensic microscope. But resist the urge to exploit someone on Sunday.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Expect an intense weekend – especially involving ﬁnances – as you get to the bottom of something that others have missed. You’re full of ideas but don’t overlook important details.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 Discover ways to make your home happier. This may involve resolving issues with relatives; or re-organising your domestic space so it better suits your current needs.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 Others are paying attention to what you’re doing but don’t put all your cards on the table just yet. Keep a few aces up your sleeve, so you can really wow them when the time is right.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 It’s the perfect weekend for Pisceans to focus intently on goals and aspirations for the future. Plus the Scorpio moon heightens your creative, compassionate, intuitive and spiritual urges.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Well, Easter is looking great for conditions – light winds early on. But the swell will be evident only in your stomach from too much chocolate. My suggestion is just enjoy the weekend and you may score some sliders. Great for kids. Even the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach forecast is not too promising but they do have a good back-up option at Johanna Beach. And once again Kelly Slater has thrown a spanner in the works by winning the Quiksilver Pro – the guy is a machine and should inspire anyone over 40 to keep dusting off the board and getting out there.

FISHING REPORT

with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Pilot bream are moving into the Maroochy River on the high tides with prawns and frogmouth pillies best. Whiting are taking yabbies around Goat Island. The Cod Hole area is f ring for jew, grunter and estuary cod. The full moon should prove fruitful for Easter f shermen. SURF: Beach conditions have improved at long last, with new gutters formed due to recent beach erosion. Sea bream are taking prawns and gar f llet along most beaches. Chopper tailor are being caught dawn and dusk using pillies. Catch dart and whiting on pippies at Maroochy and North Shore beaches. OFFSHORE: Head to the Blinker area and Coolum for parrot, sweetlip on squid and cut baits. Yellow f n tuna at The Blinker were caught with trolled lures last weekend. The southern end of the Barwon Banks proved fruitful for large snapper during the week. FRESHWATER: Borumba Dam is returning togas right up to The Sticks with golden perch, bass and jew below the dam wall. Most local impoundments are working well down at their weirs with rattling lures and spinner baits. Don’t forget your freshwater licence.
