t’s still winter and yet it feels like summer, so we think it’s the perfect time to bring you our update on the spring property market. Jarna Baudinette is on the case to uncover the state of real estate, and she has found that while prices aren’t necessarily rising, particularly on the Coast, things are looking up. Increasing optimism from buyers, sellers, agents and real estate commentators is accompanying the falling interest rates. It’s created a good environment to buy. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, if I had the spare cash I would def nitely be putting it into property. But don’t take my word for it. Head over the page to f nd out more in this week’s cover story. This week we are also bringing you our special eight-page feature on the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network Awards.

On the weekend I went down to Caloundra to check out the region’s f rst Tough Mudder event and it was well worth it. While the walk from the car park to the start line was a trek in itself, the atmosphere that met us there was incredible. I didn’t take part, so the younger Pearson (who said it smelled like the Ekka) and I grabbed a spectator’s pass and checked out quite a few of the obstacles. Despite the sea of locals and visitors moving around the venue, it was incredibly well organised and a real treat. If you didn’t make it – either as a competitor or spectator – head to page 10 for a taste. And if you haven’t bought a gift for dad yet, we have you sorted in my style on page 24.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR, INTEREST RATES ARE LOW AND A NEW SENSE OF OPTIMISM IS BLOSSOMING IN THE SUNSHINE COAST HOUSING MARKET. WORDS: JARNA BAUDINETTE

arlier this month, the Reserve Bank of Australia announced it was lowering the official cash rate to 2.5 per cent – the lowest level since it began inflation targeting in the early 1990s. The big four banks were quick to pass on the savings to borrowers, with ANZ and National Australia Bank dropping their standard variable rates to 5.88 per cent, the equal lowest in the nation. According to an analysis by ANZ, the discounted variable home lending rate is now broadly equal to the lows achieved at the peak of the GFC, and the standard variable rate is around 20 basis points above those lows. ANZ says apart from that period, the current rates are the lowest they have been since the late 1960s and early 1970s. Low borrowing costs, combined with rising sales volumes and increasing numbers of buyers in the market, are a good indicator that the property market is ready for a resurgence. Tim Lawless, director of research at RPData, said after the announcement that the change to interest rates came at a time when the housing market was already responding to economic conditions, rising from the low point which occurred last May.

[ 6 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ AUG UST 23, 2013

“Transaction numbers are up by almost 18 per cent compared with the same time last year, which highlights that home buyers, particularly investors and upgraders, are moving off the sidelines and into active buying mode,” Lawless said, adding that the diff culty for the RBA going forward will be to “keep a lid on what may be viewed as excessive housing market growth while also providing a suff cient level of stimulus in place to the broader economy”. “For investors, with the average discounted variable mortgage rate now approaching the f ve per cent mark, they are likely to f nd more and more properties are approaching a cash f ow neutral or cash f ow positive yield,” Lawless said. “Anecdotally, more and more investors seem to be focusing on rental yield and positioning for long-term capital growth.” Locally, real estate agents are reporting a strong increase in buyer interest, as more and more people recognise value in the current market after years of subdued conditions. Coupled with the arrival of spring – which is traditionally a time when people take stock of their lives (and their living situations) – this is leading to an increase in sales. David Hedley-Ward, who is sales manager at

Next Property Group, has sold 43 properties in the same number of weeks with his wife and sales partner Jodie. “As we head towards springtime, we are certainly very optimistic about the continuation of a very healthy market here on the Coast,” Hedley-Ward says. “With borrowing rates at the lowest levels in half a century, we are seeing a [large number] of buyers who have currently been renting deciding to purchase now. We are also f elding a huge amount of enquiry and selling a lot of property to health professionals and those associated with the Kawana health hub – not to mention the return of the investor buyers. “Again, low interest rates and good economic drivers such as the hospital development are key factors there also.” National real estate brand McGrath recently established its f rst off ce on the Sunshine Coast in Buderim, and according to agent Chris Pace it’s been a good time to launch. “There certainly feels to be a lot more energy in the marketplace at present and it’s been building all year,” Pace says. “With a slight tightening of listings and therefore M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

less properties for buyers to choose from, we’ve seen more competition and urgency from buyers and that’s resulted in three of our recent sales being in multiple offer situations. “As a result, our average days on market is way below the regional average.” A higher level of buyer activity is also evident at auctions across the region. JA Group director Jason Andrew says while clearance rates generally remain static during spring, his auctioneers typically record a higher number of buyers per auction across the period. “The clearance rate remains the same, but what we do see is more buyer activity,” Andrew says. “If we look at year-on-year f gures, last year we had an average of 1.2 registered buyers per auction, whereas year-to-date it’s 1.6. Through spring,

stock. That is, homes that are priced to meet the market. “The stock that is good has sold, but buyers still have choice,” Andrew says. “Again, it counterbalances itself: you have more optimistic buyers, but unfortunately they’re met by more optimistic sellers. “The buyers are there if the sellers are willing to listen to the market. And in certain circumstances, that market is still much lower than it has been in the past.” Local agents conf rm buyers are still looking for value, with homes at the lower end of the market still in demand. HedleyWard says he’s experiencing a shortage of properties priced between $300,000 and $500,000. “And sales volumes are up signif cantly over the last two quarters, so the laws of supply

Leading property commentator Michael Matusik shares his thoughts on the Australian housing market in this excerpt from a recent Matusik Missive blog post.

t astonishes me that we still keep on reading about Australia’s pending housing market crash. Moody’s is the latest commentator to join the chorus singing for caution on the Australia residential market. Sadly, most overseas commentators don’t understand the nuances of the Australian property cycle or how mortgages are granted and must be repaid in Australia. Yet despite forecasting absolute doom about f ve years ago, our ‘property correction’ actually went sideways since the late 2000s. And now the residential market is set to recover. I am quite bullish about the outlook for east coast residential property and in particular in Sydney, Melbourne and South-East Queensland.

As we head towards springtime, we are certainly very optimistic about the continuation of a very healthy market here on the Coast David Hedley-Ward that gets closer to two, which is really good for the Queensland market. “But that is counteracted by a higher supply of stock; so the clearance rate remains the same, or has at least remained the same over the past couple of years.” Andrew says while spring brings more enthusiastic buyers, those sellers coming to the market during this time need to remain realistic when pricing their properties. He says any reference to a stock ‘shortage’ is a misnomer, as there is really only a shortage of saleable

and demand would suggest that prices must rise if this trend continues,” he says. Andrew is more cautious about price growth – “There are few additional things that need to happen before we see prices move,” he says – but agrees that sellers who price their homes well in the current market will secure a sale. “The buyers are there, and the stock will walk out the door if it’s priced right,” he says. “Be it private treaty or auction, it makes no difference.”

GET

There are several reasons for this:

• Declining stock listed for sale; less private treaty discounting and shorter time on market plus increasing sales volumes. • Rising conf dence – for example the Westpac/Melbourne Institute’s “good time to buy a dwelling index”, which is close to its pre-GFC high.

Some thoughts:

• Undersupply of new housing stock, especially in NSW and Queensland. • Declining interest rates in concert with low bank loanto-value ratios and our current high saving rate. • Expanding population. • Tight vacancy rates. • Lower Australian dollar.

We currently are saving like there is no tomorrow. Over 10 per cent of what we earn is now squirrelled away; more so when you include the reduction in our level of debt. But is this really the new normal? I have suggested such myself, but I am really starting to wonder.

They have quite a bit of room to play with – a very large interest rate margin (currently 3.45 per cent between the cash rate and the standard variable mortgage rate) plus very low loan-to-value ratios for existing loans (around 50 per cent). I think that they will start to

<from previous page responsible for our current malaise than the f nancial crisis or slower world economic growth. Surely, assuming a change federally, a realisation that money in the bank now earns very little, and once the penny drops, that house prices are increasing (a broad residential recovery nearly always starts in Sydney), surely Australians will revert to their traditional form of tax-free or ATO-assisted saving – property. I cannot see any other major investment path forward. The ability of SMSFs to borrow to buy property plus the last chance (in their minds) for baby boomers to leverage and make an easier buck before they retire (or re-tread) just adds more fuel to the f re. Finally – and these comments are somewhat more speculative than my usual conjectures – as bank deposits (and our savings) start to be withdrawn and placed in more attractive investments, won’t the banks need to continue to build shareowner wealth/returns?

go to two per cent by Easter 2014. Anyone want to place a bet? Property values are set to rise and they will most likely overinf ate (like they usually do) as a result. I think the residential market will enjoy much better times post September 7, and will remain buoyant for about two or three years. Prices then will then need to correct. I don’t really know how much they will increase in the next, say, three years, but by as much as 25 per cent isn’t beyond the realm of possibility. Who also really knows how big a future correction will be. It might be another long f zz like the last f ve years or a sharp plunge. The key is to invest and not speculate. In summary, it is pointless saying that things are different this time around. Property cycles and all of the hallmarks are there to see that a recovery has already begun. We need a residential recovery. We need more new housing starts. The RBA will make sure we get one. It’s game on!

to a better sleep Bec Bartlett from Domayne Bedding at Maroochydore Homemaker Centre says “Most of us are aware that the sleep is essential for your health and wellbeing. So why not give yourself the best sleep possible?”.

Follow Tempur’s 4 steps to designing your best night’s sleep. Your best night’s sleep comes not from just sleeping on a great mattress but includes four key elements. 1. Pillow Choice A good pillow is vital. Tempur ensures that the pillow properly supports your head and neck in a comfortable position. A visit to Domayne will allow you to review the wide selection of pillows and discover how the various shapes, feels and styles suit different 2. Mattress Selection Tempur mattresses are manufactured from technically superior materials and are temperature sensitive, meaning it becomes softer in warmer areas where your body is exerting more pressure and remains f rm in cooler

areas. This ensures that not only does the mattress gently mould to the shape of your body for amazing comfort and support but results in your body weight being perfectly absorbed and redistributed meaning less tossing and turning. The material also absorbs motion so that partners are less disturbed by each other’s movements resulting in a better nights sleep for both partners. 3. Motorised Options A quality bed base can boost the durability and ventilation of your mattress. When selecting a bed base, consider which features are important to you. Adjustable models make it easy to read, or watch TV in bed or even raise your tired legs to rest more comfortably. For the ultimate in relaxation consider adding features like a massage unit to your bed base.

4. Base Designs The bed base is the component which ultimately determines how your bed looks in your room. Tempur bed bases and frames come in a range of styles and colours to complement your bedroom. Each

Does your f nancial adviser access term deposits at 15 different banks with one simple form?

oosting the Coast’s economy was the key purpose of stakeholders who took part in the Sunshine Coast Health Precinct Forum last month. The region’s key business, education, property, health and planning organisations got together to discuss strategies to maximise the benef ts the Kawana Health Precinct will have on the local area. Sunshine Coast Business Council chair Sandy Zubrinich says in the past 12 months organisations have worked collaboratively to fast-track business investment and maximise investment opportunities but there is still a long way to go to understand the ‘ripple effect’ of the Kawana Health Precinct. “One of our key focus areas for the future is developing a targeted recruitment and staff retention strategy for the Kawana Health Precinct,” Zubrinich says. “We’re also looking at ways to increase the skill levels and qualif cations within the local workforce, as well as promote pathways for secondary school students into tertiary studies that will assist them in gaining

The Kawana Health Precinct spearheads a new direction for the Coast’s economy employment within the new health and medical precinct.” Sunshine Coast mayor Mark Jamieson says of all the industries the council is seeking to develop, its immediate focus is on the health and medical services sector. “With the Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital set to open at the end of this year, it’s clear the health service industry is already on our doorstep,” Jamieson says.

Duplication of Kawana Way is causing concern about the safety of local cyclists as work starts on two new intersections near the site of the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Lend Lease project director – SCUH, Mark Buckle says the works have made it necessary to close the road shoulder, meaning cyclists should use an alternative route. “Safety is paramount for the cycling community as well as motorists, so we are asking the cycling community to re-direct their course away from Kawana Way whilst the works are taking place,” he says. The alternative cycling route is available at lendlease.com/scuh.

FUN NIGHT FOR A SAD CAUSE What was going to be a night of fun and inspiration for Coast ladies has turned into a fundraiser for women fighting cancer. The Ladies Inspirational ‘FUN’raising Event will feature inspiring talks, great food, a few glasses of bubbles, plenty of laughs and a chance to recharge mind, body and soul. Event organiser Rachael Bermingham started organising the event as a girls’ night out but quickly turned it into a fundraiser when she found out her friend, Donna Marett, was diagnosed with secondary cancer and has been given two years to live. “It just breaks my heart,” says Bermingham. Marett, a Warana resident, has two sons aged 18 and seven and is f ghting to save her house, as she has stopped work to spend time with her family. The proceeds of the ‘FUN’raising event will be divided between Marett and the Beautiful

Donna Marett with her sons Aiden and Kai You charity, which helps women and their families who are living with cancer. If you can’t make it to the event but would like to support it, monetary donations and items for the auction are welcome. The event will be held at Daisy’s Place at Glenview from 5.30pm on September 12. Tickets are $99. To f nd out more or book email info@rachaelbermingham.com.

Denture troubles? We can help

As a dental prosthestist, if I had a dollar for every time I have heard a patient say, “The upper denture is good but the lower denture moves” I could be retired. If you wear full dentures and you have heard yourself say this then there is an alternative – Implant Retained Overdentures. This is where titanium screws can be inserted into your jaw by a trained dentist and then a denture made to fit over the top. This enables the patient a much greater control of the denture, stopping nearly all the movement of that troublesome denture. This could allow us to make the upper denture without having to cover the palate. It also enables you to chew better than with your conventional denture and eat food you never thought possible. If you wear a partial denture that is held in place by unsightly clasps

– it may also be possible to have a partial denture that is retained by implants. Placement of implants in the appropriate position can make this possible. They can be life changing to someone who struggles with their ordinary dentures. All at a price that is becoming more and more affordable. We work alongside your dentist to provide a cost effective solution. Whether Implants are an option for you will have to be assessed by your dentist, however if you would like to find out more, visit Advance Oral today for your free consultation with our experienced Prosthetist to assess and discuss your denture options. It may be possible to use your existing dentures – modifying them to accommodate the implants. A new full upper denture and a new full lower implant retained over denture could cost as little as - $3000. *Conditions apply

Constant cravings A University of the Sunshine Coast Honours student is attempting to demystify the foods most likely to trigger cravings and attention loss. Danni Ward is researching 24 different types of healthy and unhealthy foods to f nd which ones most affect the cognitive ability of men and women. The 23-year-old from Marcoola has so far shown that chocolate, fruit, vegetables and meat are the foods most participants crave. “There is a big misconception that if an individual is suffering from a food craving that it must be something bad for you,” Ward says. “We have found this simply isn’t the case. “A large percentage of participants, especially women, crave healthy foods. “Men were found to be the ones who crave the unhealthiest foods.” The ongoing research, which requires more volunteer participants, will assess how food cravings affect information processing and how

USC Honours student Danni Ward is researching food cravings other factors affect this relationship. “Some cravings are so intense, they can completely interrupt an individual’s cognitive function until the food craving becomes the singular train of thought. “Previously, many food craving studies have focused on one unhealthy food and its relationship with women. “This study hopes to show that men also experience food cravings and that both men and women can experience a reduction in cognitive function.” Anyone interested in participating in the study can email DRW008@student.usc.edu.au.

KIDS INJURED BY FALLING TVS

stay splash save

N A T I O N A L

US study has found children are now twice as likely to be squashed by a falling TV than 20 years ago. Doctors examined hospital records to f nd 1.66 per 10,000 children were injured by falling TVs in 2011, up from 0.8 in 1990. The increase could be explained by older TVs being relegated to dressers and other dangerous places when f at-screen models arrived. “Children may pull dresser drawers open to use as stairs to help them reach the TV, potentially pulling both the dresser and TV over onto themselves,” the doctors wrote in the journal Pediatrics. The number of such injuries increased nearly 3.5-fold between 1995 and 2011, they found. But newer TVs may also contribute. Being lighter, they are far easier for a child to tip over. Professor Andrew Holland, a paediatric surgeon at Westmead Children’s Hospital in Sydney, says there had been a notable spike in

TV-related injuries when f at-screens f rst came on the market. “Many of these TVs were sold without a stand or base, so were positioned on normal furniture, or may have been inadequately supported on a wall,” he says. Holland, who has published his own research on the hazards of household furniture, says head injuries are the most common and also the most serious. Parents should keep TVs away from furniture children can climb and have wall mounts professionally installed, he says. AAP

BY GEORGE HE’S A RASCAL

EPA

rince William has described his newborn son George as a “bit of a rascal” and admitted that fatherhood has changed him already. In his f rst interview since the birth on July 22, the prince says he and Catherine are enjoying their new roles as parents, but admits the new arrival is keeping them on their toes. Speaking to CNN about George’s character in an interview shown on Monday, William said, “He’s a little bit of a rascal, I’ll put it that way. “He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I’m not sure, but he’s doing very well at the moment.” William described George as a “little f ghter”. “He wriggles around quite a lot,” he said. “And he doesn’t want to go to sleep that much, which is a little bit of a problem.” William, 31, who is second in line to the throne, says he doesn’t get up

in the night to tend to the baby as much as his wife and says she is doing a “fantastic job”. He says fatherhood has already changed his outlook on life. “I think the last few weeks for me have been just a very different emotional experience,” he said. William said last week he and his family will leave their home on the Welsh island of Anglesey when his posting as a search and rescue helicopter pilot with the Royal Air Force f nishes next month. He added an Australian holiday is on the cards next year. AFP

After taking antidepressants for 20 years, she was shocked to find there was a cause for her depression that was never found. Within weeks she was excited, happy, motivated and amazed to get her life back. When she f rst began antidepressants, she felt a lack of interest in life, low mood, irritability, anger, anxiety and insomnia. Exhaustion then caused more anger and irritability. With a young family, the strain was too much, so she went to her GP and began antidepressants, which worked well, but needed to be maintained for a normal life. When I f rst saw her, she had responded to an ad about depression and was curious about coming off her antidepressants. After asking a few questions, and scanning her brain and body for inf ammation, infection, hormone and brain chemical levels, it was clear what the causes were. Nothing traumatic had happened during the time the depression began, she was relaxed and happy as she had returned from an overseas holiday. This always rings alarm bells, as there are bacteria in water overseas that can cause depression, so we organised a bowel test. We also found that when she was moody, it f uctuated, with bouts of sleepiness, and fogginess throughout the day. This usually indicates a relationship with food, as the

symptoms start between meals, f rst irritability and fogginess, then sleepiness, then back to normal. When food does not agree with you, it can cause depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and low thyroid function. The liver detoxif es the offending food, by using enzymes which are also involved in making serotonin in the brain. This results in the brain under-functioning leading to low moods. One of these enzymes is responsible for producing melatonin for sleep, so insomnia follows. The thyroid drops in function during a food reaction. In women this will cause the progesterone to drop, which creates an oestrogen dominance problem leading to PMS, menopausal symptoms, and more hormonal imbalances including severe mood swings. We found with testing she had a few offending foods she was eating regularly, and when we received the results from her gut test found she also had a bacterial overgrowth affecting the brain. After treating these, starting a good diet, and raising serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine naturally, she was feeling amazing within weeks.

Depression and other mood disorders affect one in four Australians. It is not a disease that has unknown cause, like many believe, and can be resolved quickly. If you would like to know more, call the centre and arrange a free half hour consultation, or view the webinar “7 Steps to Freedom from Anxiety & Depression” at www.advancedwellness.com.au.

Darryl Watt is from Ord Minnett in Buderim

ividend imputation was a major economic reform introduced to Australia by the Hawke/Keating government in 1987. This is an area of policy where Australia leads the world. It was introduced to stop investors having to effectively pay tax twice on dividends received from companies. Prior to its introduction, tax was initially paid by the company on its prof ts and then again by the investor upon receipt of the dividend. Under the dividend imputation system the investor receives a credit for the tax already paid by the company. For example, a company makes a prof t of $100 and pays tax of $30. It then

AUSTRALIA LEADING THE WORLD ON DIVIDEND IMPUTATION distributes the remaining $70 cash to the investor along with a credit (for tax already paid) of $30. The shareholder includes the $70 cash received and the $30 imputation credit as income in their tax return. In essence, this provides a gross dividend of $100. The effect of the credit is that if the shareholder’s marginal tax rate is less than 30 per cent, no extra tax will be payable on the dividend and any excess will be refunded. For example, a person on a marginal tax rate of 19 per cent would be liable to pay tax of $19 on the gross dividend of $100 and would therefore receive a refund of the $11. If the investor’s marginal tax rate is nil, the full credit of $30 would be refunded. Imputation credits can be very

valuable for people on low tax rates as they reduce tax payable on other income. It is important to note that these credits can’t be used to offset the Medicare Levy but any unused credits will be refunded in cash when the tax return is lodged. It is not only individuals who can benef t from imputation credits. Superannuation funds can do the same. These funds can reduce their average rate of tax from the usual 15 per cent, in much the same way as described above, if they hold Australian shares in their portfolio.

Russian roulette GAY MARRIAGE IS FAR FROM THE POLITICAL AGENDA IN RUSSIA, WHERE VIOLENT HOMOPHOBIA IS RAMPANT.

hen Anastasia told her parents she was in love with a girl, they placed her in psychiatric care. For weeks the 15-year-old had to take tablets “so that her brain could be pulled straight”, as her mother saw it. Ivan’s mother’s response to hearing that her son was gay was to express the fervent wish that he “get AIDS and die soon”. Gays and lesbians in Russia frequently f nd themselves without a haven from an ugly, and all too often violent, strain of homophobia running through the culture. Now tech-savvy gay youth are f ghting back and raising awareness about their plight with an online campaign and self-help group called the 404 Kids – a reference to the ubiquitous error message ‘404 Page Not Found’. “Our society thinks like that – that there are no young homosexuals,” says Yelena Klimova, a journalist who founded the group. A letter to Klimova from a 15-year-old girl tells of her love for a fellow student. “We’ve been together

for more than a year,” recounts the writer, who then details how life as a lesbian has driven her to consider suicide. Letters like these prompted Klimova to establish 404 Kids and the mail f oods in. In the southern city of Volgograd, a group of men in May tortured a 23-year-old to death after he came out as gay. In June, an airport off cial on the Kamchatka peninsula was stabbed to death in what police described as a homophobic attack. Gay activist Nikolai Alexeyev blames the recent spate of attacks on Kremlin-backed policies. In the view of human rights watchdogs, many Russians have been taught to conf ate homosexuality with paedophilia. Opinion polls reveal the majority of Russians back a “homosexual propaganda” measure recently passed by parliament and signed into law by President Vladimir Putin. Although being gay is not an offence in Russia, the new law criminalises the public expression of support for non-traditional relationships, with the stated aim

of ‘protecting’ children. Opponents see the law as a concession to the inf uence of the Russian Orthodox Church, one of Putin’s main power bases. The legislation has sparked uproar around the world, with calls growing for a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. There are concerns the law may make education on themes like AIDS impossible, and parents could f nd themselves on the wrong side of it merely by discussing homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality with their teenage sons and daughters. Many of the letters Klimova receives are accompanied by photographs showing youthful faces holding up signs in front of their eyes with the words ‘404 Kids’. “We do exist,” is the message in many of the letters that, taken together, are an impassioned call to oppose widespread intolerance. The Moskovsky Komsomolets (MK) tabloid even broke a taboo by referring to “these children that we do

not know”. Russian nationalists have founded their own internet forum called 1488 Kids, using a numerical code popular among neo-Nazis. As the MK writes: “Young people are playing at being the Gestapo on the internet” – but the attacks are not conf ned to the virtual world. Gangs of youths incited to by right-wing extremists have taken to hunting down gays and lesbians. They make use of false names to set up meetings with their unsuspecting victims before humiliating them and f lming the process. These videos are then uploaded onto internet sites for the parents and friends of the victims to view. As one 16 year-old wrote: “Sometimes I want to shout out loud, ‘Accept me for what I am’.” But coming out is a risky undertaking in Russia. “Fear and loneliness are my daily companions,” the teenager concluded.

THE COAST’S BEST AND BRIGHTEST

he local business community is gathering together this weekend to celebrate the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network Awards at the network’s gala event in Maroochydore. The awards program has been running for 15 years, and has since that time celebrated many hundreds of local business women who make outstanding contributions to the local business community and the entire region. Vicki Clark, the chair of the judging panel, tells MWP that 140 nominations for the awards were received this year. Of those, 55 women submitted entries. “The nominees are sent an application kit, which centres on answering 10 questions in the form of a submission,” Clark says of the process. “Two independent judges and myself spend about a day reviewing the submissions to pick our 28 f nalists, and the submissions are then sent to three independent judges.” These judges evaluate the written submissions over a twoweek period, scoring points on the content before the women are

interviewed by two more independent judges and Clark, who do not see the written submissions. It’s a comprehensive process and one that is conf dential. “The category winners are known only to me,” Clark explains, adding that the points the judges score are not known by their fellow judges. “The Outstanding Business Woman is decided with all six judges coming together to discuss the top three entrants in each category.” It’s a process, Clark says, that takes about three hours. So why such a thorough judging process?

your dreams to reality, women who can show others that you can have a successful and rewarding business or career here on the Sunshine Coast, and who can share their journey and inspire others.” Five awards will be handed out

Each year it amazes all the judges of the hidden gems on the Coast. This year the calibre and diversity of the f nalists has been outstanding “The women we choose will represent the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network and be the face of the network in the community,” Clark tells MWP. “They are women who can show others that you can bring

on Saturday night – the four categories of Corporate Business Woman, Micro/Small Business Woman, Professional Business Woman and Young Business Woman. The award for the Outstanding Business Woman is

then announced. And each year the network has no shortage of worthy nominees. “Each year it still amazes all the judges of the hidden gems here on the Sunshine Coast,” Clark says. “This year the calibre and diversity of the f nalists has been outstanding. “The manner in which these women conduct their businesses is to be commended – humility, professionalism, passion and innovation was strong among all of the f nalists.” The network is a not-for-prof t organisation that represents the region’s professional women and the awards are designed to recognise those who have been particularly outstanding, and who may not be recognised otherwise. “Everyone has a time to shine and it is our f nalists’ time to shine now,” Clark says.

How did you get your start in business? I was inspired by, and took a leap of faith with a beautiful friend and fellow educator in 2010. Our shared vision was of a high quality music program focussed on the very earliest years of life that promoted positive development through music and fun. What do you love about your job? My job lets me indulge my passion for music while surrounding myself with the enthusiasm and joy of kids. I love seeing our students and their families each week and being a part of their journey as they grow, explore and develop – the preschool years are a really special time to be involved with these little people and I feel privileged that their parents ‘share’ them with me.

Name three key factors for your success. Customer experience and satisfaction – in every business, the customer is king. Know your niche – as an eco-friendly boutique store we differentiate ourselves by what we do and how we do it, giving us a distinct advantage over larger, less responsive stores. Embrace technology – a successful business must embrace technology and create its own terms for success. What is your personal motto? Be happy and do what you love! If going to work, especially when it’s your own business, has become a grind then it’s time for a change. It’s a little clichéd but oh so true – if you do what you love, then you’ll never work a day in your life!

What do you love about your job? I make a difference to people in their careers. I help get them a promotion, a new career, or boost their conf dence. It’s very rewarding. Name three key factors for your success. Always deliver excellent service. Have a specialty and try different ideas to see what works, then stick to it. Advice for those in business? Give your clients what they want, and make it as easy as possible for them. It’s not essential to be face-to-face – look for opportunities using the internet and technology. You can reach more customers. What is your personal motto? Henry Ford said, “If you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

How did you get your start in business? My f rst foray into business was at the age of seven with a car washing enterprise. This enterprise continued until I was the legal age of 14 and could get a ‘real job’ at the local pizza joint. What people inspire you? I admire people who hold their philanthropic values close at heart and put people over prof t. Advice for those in business? Every business is different but it pays to develop a creative approach and to be more open minded in marketing, advertising and sales strategies. Thinking outside the box will unearth new opportunities. And maintaining a positive and focussed approach to daily business is important.

I am also inspired by those that work hard at what they love and share their passion with others, those that dare to be different. Advice for those in business?

Name three key factors for your success. Connection – it is so vital to have strong connections with clients and local businesses. Passion – I truly love what I do, and I care for each and every one of my clients. Persistence – if I have an idea, I stick to it and go for it. Advice for those in business? Stay connected. There are so many network groups on the Sunshine Coast that offer opportunities to stay connected, feel supported, build friendships and most of all hear inspiring guest speakers with tips to succeed. Also, look after your health: I believe if you are happy and healthy in your mind and body it will benef t every other area of your life.

How did you get your start in business? After having my second child, I decided I wanted to spend more time with my children and do something that contributed to the community. Ditching my corporate career, I chose to merge what I was good at with my life passion. Yin Health started at home and grew organically to where it is today. What do you love about your job? Having the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives, no matter how small. I’m also a sucker for the challenges and growth I get by running my own business – bring it on! Advice for those in business? Think differently, strive to be better, don’t give up and get out there to promote your business.

The not-for-profit Sustainable Parenting Association (SPA) provides community education and support for parents making environmentally friendly parenting choices. In January SPA launched a Modern Cloth Nappy library which gives parents the opportunity to ‘try before you buy’. Ability to hire a cloth nappy kit complete with training, workshops and personal support. During the time using the Modern Cloth Nappy Library, parents are able to decide for themselves if cloth nappies are right for their family.

Since its inception, 90% of parents using the library have made the decision to purchase modern cloth nappies for full time use. Whilst still in its infancy, the library hire service has already prevented 169,000 disposable nappies going to Sunshine Coast landfill.

What do you love about your job? Connecting with local businesspeople and educating them on how to keep themselves, their family and/or their staff safe. Name three key factors for your success. To me, success is a ‘never give up’ attitude and forever learning via personal development books, CDs, podcasts and mentorship. Success is knowing your market and educating them, as well as networking with them. Advice for those in business? Try new things in your business and make sure you test and measure the outcomes – build new strategic alliances and learn and grow via professional development. It’s amazing when you change just one thing, your business can change too.

What do you love about your job? I get to inspire women to be themselves; to know it’s okay to have ‘issues’ in life and business, but in the end we all need to face those issues in order to be better. What people inspire you? I am inspired by women who’ve had the lowest of lows but come out the other side. They make me look at my own situation and say, ‘If they can do it, so can I!’ Advice for those in business? I believe in the power of a positive mindset to give you momentum through the tough times – it’s like riding a bike. If you slow down the bumps may knock you off, but if you keep pedalling you can sail over the bumps towards your destination.

What do you love about your job? Building design is my passion and I consider myself lucky that I get to do what I love every day. Name three key factors for your success. 1. Getting a business mentor has been the most crucial aspect of my success to this point. 2. Taking ultimate responsibility for everything that happens in the business and focussing on solutions, not the problems. 3. Taking action. Having a good idea is not enough, you must take action again and again in order to reach your goals. Advice for those in business? A tough economic climate is an entrepreneur’s dream. Find what problem you can solve better than anyone else and focus on providing massive value to your clients.

What do you love about your job? I love it when we can come up with print solutions for our customers. I love it when we receive positive feedback from customers and exceed their expectations. Last but not least, I love it when we can support local charities and not-for-prof t organisations with their printing. Advice for those in business? Be different from your competitors and regularly review your activities to ensure they are still in line with where your market is heading. What is your personal motto? I am a strong believer that if you put your mind to any goal you want to achieve, and have faith in yourself, you can achieve it. Nothing is impossible!

How did you get your start in business? I took a secondary job to help supplement my full-time wage. After a while, it occurred to me that with the experience I had already accrued, there was no reason why I couldn’t create a viable, sustainable business. This year I was able to resign from my full-time role to focus on my business. Name three key factors for your success. Being genuine, being f exible and being collaborative. Advice for those in business? Don’t over complicate things. Trust your instincts and have faith in yourself. Never give the personal connection that you’ve established with your business to anyone else. Outsourcing is a great time saver, as long as you stay engaged and aware.

How did you get your start in business? After almost 20 years in hospital and forensic medicine, my dad’s death lead me to take a step back and review. I realised I was doing things out of duty, and not what truly lights me up. We decided as a family to pursue my passion for integrative health, moved to New York. I then founded my holistic health and mindset coaching business The Tall Poppy Project and the rest is sweet, sweet history. What do you love about your job? I love that I am part of a groundswell of women f nding the sweet spot between passion and prof t and creating businesses that nourish them f nancially without sacrif cing their hearts.

How did you get your start in business? I have owned businesses for nearly 30 years. At the start, jewellery was a sideline endeavour. When we moved to Australia in 1999, I saw a place for what I have to offer. We started at the Eumundi markets, where we still sell. But with dedication and clear vision, we are now stocked in more than 150 jewellery stores, galleries and gift shops around Australia. What people inspire you? Top on my list is a woman named Marilyn, who was a grade f ve school teacher for 35 years, is loving, encouraging, helpful, fun and adventurous, a ‘you can do it’ kind of role model. I was, and continue to be, inspired by her, and lucky me, she is my mum.

What people inspire you? Change is one of the most diff cult things to manage and I most admire people who can reinvent themselves, create opportunities in different environments, and keep a career or business exciting over long periods of time. Advice for those in business? Have a clear vision of what the result will be. Know what your competitive advantage is and market this to the clients or customers you are targeting. Measure performance, keep accurate and up-to-date records, and manage cash f ow. What is your personal motto? When one commits, providence moves too.

Name three key factors for your success. Strong business ethics – my reputation is of paramount importance. Simple solutions – my client strategies are often complex, and the ‘puzzle’ often contains many pieces. My job is to deliver a simple solution. Trust – without trust, I have no business. Advice for those in business? Don’t forget the basics. Don’t rest on your laurels. Keep working hard, trust your instincts and continue to employ the very principles that got you where you are – every day! What is your personal motto? Do NOW what you least feel like doing right now! This requires discipline, but is something I’ve practiced for many years, and it def nitely pays off!

How did you get your start in business? In 2008 my husband Michael Berry and I took out a business loan to purchase the Hinterland Times magazine, and set out to turn a tired publication into the best independent monthly magazine in the hinterland. What people inspire you? My husband Michael is a double-leg amputee. Every day he punches way above his weight. The many artists who live in this community who put their creativity ahead of f nancial gain and personal recognition. The many small business owners across the hinterland prepared to take a f nancial risk, to do what they love. What is your personal motto? Life’s about what you can do.

What do you love about your job? I love my job because it isn’t about just about ‘freight’, it’s about human relations. One favourite aspect of the role is working with my courier franchisees to grow their business. It’s great to see their business planning and marketing efforts result in a new customer. I also love working with customers and becoming an extension of their businesses, with their freight needs. What people inspire you? Terri Irwin is someone who has grown in adversity and she inspires me, with her humility, pride, work ethic and innovation, and a nevergive-up attitude. What is your personal motto? Nurture relationships and promote open communication.

How did you get your start in business? After eight years working in regional and metro media sales teams, I started my own advertising agency in 2004 when I was 28. Name three key factors for your success. To me, success equals achieving what I set out to do, so I do a lot of strategising and goal setting. My top three factors would be: a great mix of planning, focus and determination; embracing change; and accepting setbacks as part of business but learning and growing from past experience. What people inspire you? Positive and highly motivated people that turn a negative situation into something positive. Self ess people that continually volunteer their time for the good of others.

MAKE/MODEL LEXUS LS600h F-SPORT DETAILS Four-door, four- or five-seat full-sized luxury sedan with V8 hybrid engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. TECH STUFF 5-litre V8 engine (290kW) combined with electric motor to produce 327kW, 520Nm, CVT transmission with eight-speed step-shift function; all-wheel-drive.

THE QUIET ACHIEVER WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP

ilence is golden. Seen but not heard. The quiet achiever. Any of these old adages could have been written for Japanese luxury brand Lexus. For a company so intent on making a big noise in the premium car segment, it certainly goes about its business in a quiet way. And no model illustrates that philosophy more clearly than the flagship LS600h – a whisper-quiet, hybrid-powered luxury limousine that pretty much sums up what Lexus is all about.

Quiet, unobtrusive but ever more formidable. Lexus’ marketing campaign even urges potential LS buyers to “announce yourself without saying a word”. Now it seems the Japanese marque’s stealth attack on the big German brands is taking a new direction. Having spent decades sneaking up from behind, Lexus is getting ready to overtake. A new F-Sport edition of the LS600h has put this ultra-refined machine into the fast lane, answering the perennial question

about whether Lexus could make cars as fun to drive as they are to ride in. This one’s a hoot. Combining a muscular V8 engine with the added thrust of an electric hybrid motor, the LS600h enjoys a thumping output of 327 kilowatts, taking a very quick, comfortable and quiet 5.7 seconds of rather extraordinary acceleration to get you to the speed limit. The F-Sport was unveiled late in 2012. It costs $217,900 – a $25,000 premium over the ‘basic’ LS460 entry-level model, but that’s quite continued page 38>

FEATURES 10 airbags, pre-crash seatbelts, vehicle stability control and dynamic integrated management, driver fatigue alert, ABS with brakeforce distribution, tradition control, adaptive variable suspension, blind spot monitors, frontal collision avoidance system; advanced climate control system with Climate Concierge function; premium audio system, electric seats, windows and mirrors, automatic headlights and wipers with auto high-beam function; 12.5-inch display screen with satellite navigation, hard-drive storage; Bluetooth connectivity. THIRST 8.6L/100km combined figure. PERFORMANCE 0-100km/ h in 5.7 seconds. VERDICT Like an Earth-bound Learjet. Only quieter. BOTTOM LINE $217,900.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the f rst Lexus to use the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new active stabiliser bar technology, which Lexus says further adds to its body control, and steering response characteristics. They also boast that improved body bonding techniques have delivered a 60 per cent increase in body rigidity across the LS range. Ride height has been lowered by 10 millimetres to ensure a more athletic, sporty gait. Big 19-inch alloys, F-Sport badging and mesh grille treatment, aggressive spoiler and body skirts and unique fog lights sharpen its appearance. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a worthy f agship of the LS model range.

Even in standard guise the LS boasts quite a bag of tricks. My favourite is the Climate Concierge function, which Lexus claims is one of three world f rsts on the model. On a particularly cold morning, I got into the Lexus and found, to my delight, that the steering wheel heater and the seat heaters had been automatically activated for my comfort. The seats also have internal cooling, are adjustable in 16 directions and some models even feature a passenger-seat â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ottomanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which, Lexus says improves comfort by reducing heel and thigh pressure. Electronic aids for the driver include a driver alert monitor and pre-collision safety system; blind spot monitor with lane-changing function

and automatic high-beam for the superb LED headlamps. In the cabin, that legendary Lexus attention to detail remains. The air-conditioning system, for instance, releases negatively charged ions wrapped in water molecules, into the cabin to neutralise airborne particles

and odours. Lexus claims it even helps moisturise your skin and hair. Design-wise, the latest LS cabin has lifted this model onto a par with its German competitors. The sweeping lines, the judicious use of

luxury materials and high-end f nishes produce a cabin ambience that more than justif es the LS600â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price tag. The interior wood f nish uses a traditional Japanese method called Shimamoku, which involves painstaking layering of different coloured timbers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a process taking 67 steps over 38 days. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the massive 12.3-inch centre screen, which displays with vivid clarity the Lexus Remote Touch system allowing you to toggle between about 10 different categories of cabin and vehicle functions. I took a turn in the back seat of the Lexus, as well, handing over the steering duties to a family member for a while, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly no hardship. Some models even offer two rear, adjustable bucket seats instead of the traditional three. Which brings me to one last point. Lexus measured the Articulation Index in the rear seats and is delighted to say it scored almost 100 when the car is travelling at 100 kilometres per hour. Articulation Index, you might ask? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Lexus term â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to measure the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quietness.

Mustang coming to Australia Ford Australia has conf rmed the iconic Ford Mustang will be off cially imported – in right-hand drive – with a likely local release date of 2016. As part of the ‘One Ford’ strategy (that ironically was a big reason behind the demise of the Falcon), the Mustang will be one of many models in a major product line-up revamp announced in Sydney, preparing the ground for when Ford Australia becomes an import-only company from late 2016.

Charge your laptop in the new Holden Trax Small SUVs are versatile – they enable drivers to pick up the kids in the city and navigate rugged roads. Now there’s one that also enables motorists to shave. Holden has packed the Trax, its entry into the small SUV market, with a bunch of features in a bid to wrestle sales from market leaders Mitsubishi, Hyundai and Nissan. This includes a 240-volt electrical socket. The stated intention is that the socket can be used to charge laptops. But the company’s director of planning and program management Maria Koutsimpiris says she has already tested it to run her hair straightener, while other members of Holden’s design team have used it to power electric razors. The Holden Trax goes on sale next month.

Welcome home THIS WEEK’S MWP COVER STORY LOOKS AT THE STATE OF THE LOCAL REAL ESTATE MARKET. ALONG WITH STRONG BUYER ACTIVITY AND HIGHER THAN USUAL SALES VOLUMES, LOCAL AGENTS ARE ALSO REPORTING THE RENTAL MARKET IS GOING STRONG.

he latest figures released by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland show demand for rental properties continues to outweigh supply across most of South-East Queensland. The REIQ says a vacancy rate of three per cent is considered the equilibrium point of supply and demand, and on the Sunshine Coast vacancy rates are at two per cent. CEO Anton Kardash said in a statement that tighter vacancy rates signal a healthy property market. “While lower vacancy rates means competition for rental properties is greater, it is also attracting more investors, which is good news for our property market.” While the Coast’s vacancy rate is a reduction from last June’s f gure, which was 3.3 per cent, Russell Smith from RealWay Caloundra says two per cent would be high for his off ce, which manages 580 homes and has a vacancy rate of less than one per cent. “That’s been our average for a while,” Smith says. “We would call the rental demand strong, and we’ve found that all through the GFC our property management department has been strong. We never got to two per cent, ever.” Smith says improving conditions are now bringing new investors into the market. “Because the selling market was so depressed from 2009 through to recently, there’s a lot of property investors who wouldn’t be

[investors] if they didn’t have to be – their properties were not selling for what they owed, and so they rented them instead,” he says. “What’s happened this year is that, because listings have shrunken back and the buyer demand has slightly increased, some of those investors are now f nding that they are able to sell if their property is priced right.” As a result, new investors are seeing

15 properties available to rent right now but only three are from my current portfolio – the others are new properties I have secured.” As a result, her advice for owners is to ensure their property manager focuses on developing and maintaining strong relationships with tenants, as a stable tenancy is key to peace of mind. “Approaching the end of tenancies, landlords often want to put the rent up, but I’ll sometimes say no, if the cost of replacing the tenant outweighs any increase, it’s best to compromise, building a benef cial relationship with the tenant” rather than risking them f nding a better deal elsewhere, she says. “A good tenant is worth gold.” The REIQ reports that investment activity in Queensland is at its highest level since July 2009, and agents agree the prospect of securing ongoing returns is bringing investors back into the market. “I’m seeing superannuation funds being more prominent in the market; there’s been a lot more enquiry from those,” Smith says. “The stock market has been so up and down”, whereas “you can always live in a house”. “As an investment I think [property] shows good form at the moment. It would be hard not to get a 5.2 per cent gross return on the average house on the Sunshine Coast.”

For investors buying, the numbers haven’t looked this good for several years. Landlords do not need to have their hand in their pocket as deeply as in the past value at the current cost of buying. “For the next investors buying, the numbers haven’t looked this good for several years,” Smith says. “With current interest rates on 100 per cent borrowing, rates, insurance and a little bit for maintenance, and taking into account depreciation, landlords do not need to have their hand in their pocket anywhere near as deeply as they had to in the past, which we haven’t seen for a long time.” Geoff Ohmsen from Platinum Properties says he is also seeing new investors enter the market, with new

owners adding to the rent roll and demand remaining strong. “We’ve had 35 applications come in over the past seven days, and we’ve rented seven properties in that time,” he says. “There’s also six new ones on the board. “If you look at our rent list, there are only nine [properties] out of about 300 available. And all the ones for rent have tenants in currently who are vacating – there’s

nothing empty, so everything is generating an income.” Karen Stehr from Next Property Group manages more than 220 properties. She says she noticed a lull in tenant enquiry from March to July, and while August brought some movement back into the market, she hasn’t noticed a tightening in vacancy rates just yet. “I feels there’s certainly still a lot of variance in the market,” Stehr says, adding this is partly due to new investors entering the market, meaning more properties may become available to rent. “I have

upcoming spring selling season is typically a great period for the Queensland real estate market. And with such good price and sales results for the June quarter, as well as historically low interest rates, it’s shaping up to be another strong period as our market should maintain its current momentum. “No doubt the inf uence of low interest rates and increased perceptions of housing affordability have seen more people get off the sidelines and back into the property market of late. “Also, after a slow start to the year, property investors are getting back on track, with the total dollar amount loaned to individual investors for the month of May at its highest level since June 2009.”

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 The moon’s in your hopes, dreams and wishes zone so it’s time to focus emotional energy on your goals for the future. Draw up a wish-list that becomes a practical plan for action.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 With gung-ho Mars in your sign, you’re keen to get things moving but are others ready? Clear communication will get crabs a lot further than sarcasm and sulking.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 Being a right royal bossy-boots will get you nowhere fast, lions, as your subjects are in the mood to retaliate. Vigorous exercise will help you burn off excess energy.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 Mercury moves into your sign plus the sun and Mercury join up in Virgo. So you’re at your fact-ﬁnding best – and nit-picking worst. Aim to view the glass of life as being half-full.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 There may be friction between what you want and what others need, especially at home. It’s time for Librans to come to the party and compromise, otherwise there’ll be power struggles.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Tricky moon/Pluto aspects bring out the control freak in some Scorpios. Examine your motivations. Instead of trying to manipulate others, how about cooperating with them instead?

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Are unconscious desires driving you at the moment? Take a close look at your motivations Sagittarius. Perhaps they are sending you in a direction that you really don’t want to go?

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 Is someone putting pressure on you, Pisces, or pulling your emotional strings? Use the ﬁery energy of the moon to forge an independent path – especially involving money matters.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

More than 41 years old and now leading the world tour. Yep, Kelly Slater made the Billabong Pro f nal. He lost only by the slimmest of margins, while John John Florence got the wave of the competition. You can view online. Well it could be a road trip to northern NSW if you want to catch some waves as things are a little grim here. Or why not get yourself hooked up with the lads at World Surfaris? I have done six or so trips with them and have scored the waves of my life. Treasure Island in Sumatra will be f ve foot offshore on Sunday if you can get there! Now back here. There might be a little push in swell but that could also be a whale going past. Moffat Beach was the place to be last Saturday when a mother and calf stopped in for coffee. Well, they certainly got close enough to order takeaway. Enjoy this sensational weather!

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Full moon this week. Bream and tailor are taking baby blue pilchards around the Maroochy motorway bridge and in the Mooloolah River right down to the bar area of each river. Flathead and whiting are in all areas of the Sunshine Coast. SURF: Low tide gutters along Maroochydore Beach and along to Alexandra Headland will be working for bream and tailor on the night high tides with pillies and mullet f llet best. Whiting, dart and f athead are along North Shore Maroochy and down to the bar area. OFFSHORE: It was fairly quiet earlier this week, but conditions have improved with the full moon. Mixed reef f sh are being taken from the Gneerings and out on the Barwon’s using squid and pillies. FRESHWATER: Catch bass and spangled perch below the Lake Macdonald dam wall with rattling, sinking lures or f ies best. There are still a few winter bass taking lures in the upper reaches of Coolum Creek and Mooloolah River. Don’t forget your freshwater licence when f shing stocked impoundments. Licences are available online or at Maroochy Fishing World.
