I

t’s funny when you interview public f gures – they are usually nothing at all as you would expect, or exactly as you imagined they would be.

I’ve had a few chats to Sunshine Coast mayor Mark Jamieson over the past couple of years, and he is a curious mix of both. The man with the serious expression betrays his corporate background when he speaks – he is measured and knowledgeable, and driven to help transform the Coast into a successful, prosperous region.

But he’s not all business. The mayor is friendly, approachable and, as far as any public servant can be, he seems open and honest in his responses.

For his week’s cover story I was keen to chat to him, post de-amalgamation, to ask about his vision for the region, now that our northern borders have been pulled back to just past Coolum. Find out if his vision matches yours, over the page.

And for a look at the region’s big projects underway and in the pipeline, head to agenda on page 36.

As for the rest of the mag, we are jam-packed this week with special and recurring features, including retirement (page 37), education (page 34) and my body (page 31).

We have some gorgeous celebrities in gorgeous outf ts from the BAFTAs on page 12, plus our alwaysstylish my style pages on page 26.

And over in My Property Preview, we have advice for investors and landlords on achieving the right relationship with their tenants.

Until next time!

Brand new day JEMMA PEARSON SITS DOWN WITH MAYOR MARK JAMIESON TO REFLECT ON THE PROGRESS MADE IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, AND WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THE REGION. IMAGES: SAM WALKER

I

t’s been almost two years since the Sunshine Coast voted in a new mayor in the form of businessman Mark Jamieson.

Coming up to the halfway point of his time in office, the mayor, reflecting on his achievements, tells MWP, “I am very proud.”

It’s perhaps not surprising to hear a politician and public servant talk up his triumphs, but the former newspaper chief is unpretentious and personable. He also knows he has much more to do.

Jamieson and his councillors stepped into the Nambour council chambers at a time of reduced business conf dence on one hand and a deep concern from many in the community about maintaining the Coast’s enviable lifestyle and environment on the other. Jamieson has seen his council split by a de-amalgamation and he’s been kept busy introducing a new economic development plan and town plan, as well as green-lighting projects, overhauling the council and connecting with the community.

Getting on with the job

Elected on a platform of job creation and economic development, after less than two years in the job, Jamieson tells MWP, he is well and truly on track to achieving his aims. “I am very happy with the progress we are making but in the end others will judge the council on delivering on those platforms.

I am very pleased with what has been achieved.”

He adds, “We have f nalised a new town plan which is now just waiting on approval by State Government. We have f nalised the economic development strategy which gives business, industry and government a blueprint [for the future].”

He says the economic development strategy and town plan contain “aspirational but realistic goals”. But now that the work of completing the documents is done “the real challenge is activation”.

Jamieson and his team have also been kept busy with the organisational review which has reshaped the council, a vital thing to do. “I now believe we have a f ts-the-purpose organisational structure [staffed by hardworking and talented workers].”

He tells MWP his goal of creating an environment of conf dence with the business and private investment sector has been realised. “I am constantly getting feedback from private sector

needed to maintain the balance.” The previous council had a reputation among many for stif ing economic growth. “What we don’t want is for the pendulum to spring widely the other way.”

It is often the case that it is not until the earthmovers come in and the cranes spring up that locals have conf dence in that much-talked about growth. Jamieson turns his attention to those cranes, particularly those in Kawana. “It gives people cause for optimism and encourages small business to expand. [New development] creates a range of new market opportunities for small business.

“The hospital precinct has been a tremendous stimulus for our local economy and I think it is important people understand these things take time to bring to fruition and we are very much on that path with the CBD and airport.”

He adds, “People come up and chat to me very regularly and I am really heartened by it because without exception people are only ever being positive and complimentary and that is reassuring.

Councils are about people and in this case the people of the Sunshine Coast and how we can play a pivotal role in making the Sunshine Coast more sustainable in terms of the economy, community and environment.”

both inside and out of the region, but it’s certainly not an open-door policy. Jamieson accepts some businesses will walk away disappointed if their proposal is not in the best interests of the region, but “our reputation as a place to invest in has been enhanced”.

People and projects

Still there is that tricky balance between environmental considerations and growing industries and creating jobs. “I feel happy with the balance. There is a healthy tension there and that is

Onwards and upwards

“The Sunshine Coast will grow by another 150,000 people in the next 20 years. That will push us up to a region of half a million (when you include Noosa),” the mayor tells MWP, adding that a population of that size puts us in the top 10 of Australia’s largest regional centres. “And we have to manage that – we can’t allow it to drop into our laps.

“Big portions will occur in Caloundra South and Palmview, plus the new CBD,” he says, adding that existing suburbs and hinterland communities

will also experience a growth in population. “So if we have to cater for that many people how do generate enough economic activity to support that?”

He answers his own question by adding, “Giving conf dence to the private sector to create jobs [for everyone in the region].”

So where will those jobs be? “No doubt in the health, medical and wellbeing sector and all the related industries. High-value jobs in the education and research sector, the clean-tech sector.”

He says the Valdora Solar Farm is “a catalytic investment – it helps build our brand as the clean-tech capital of the country and encourages other ‘green’ business.”

He says government needs to be careful that it doesn’t try to become the job creator – it is all about creating an “environment of conf dence and trust” for the private sector to generate those jobs.

“We have a talented and reliable workforce. Many employers are starting to recognise that as well because in some ways capital investment will follow where the labour resource resides.

“I guess one of the driving key motivators for council is that we have so many people on the Sunshine Coast complete their schooling here [secondary and tertiary] but we don’t have suff cient opportunity.”

He says the old economy driven by tourism, construction and retail is too shallow. “We need to create an economy that is less at the mercy of the world economy.” And diversity is the key.

Making the move

For a man who has spent a career in the corporate world, the move to public life has been a satisfying one. “There is a level of rigour in terms of process and documentation that makes the continued over>

processes in government slower but that is in response to the community’s demand for transparency and scrutiny. You can’t compromise that.

“Having said that we still should constantly look at ways where things can be improved.”

He is kept busy engaging with the community at cultural, business and sporting events, gatherings and meetings. It leaves him little time for himself but he says, “You try to make time to do things you enjoy and I have other interests but I am totally dedicated [to the job of mayor].”

He sees the stability within the council as a major win. “We do have vigorous debates but generally councillors are united in our objectives.”

His other great achievement is the planned airport expansion.

While much work is still to be done, the council has fought hard for the project.

“We lobbied the state and federal governments hard for the land they

owned at the airport and they gifted that land, which will prove absolutely crucial as we seek further growth. Now that it is all in council’s hands it is a big step forward. Still, it is an expensive piece of infrastructure.”

There must be a few disappointments, too? “I don’t get disappointed – things happen and as long as you have given your best there is no point beating yourself up.”

In the future he says there is “an agenda full of new challenges”.

“I think 2014 should be a year we really start to see signif cant benef ts of our work coming through.”

Rebuilding the culture within the council, working with the private sector investment on Caloundra South and Palmview, getting on with council responsibilities and balancing the environment, economy and community needs are all on his to-do list.

It’s an optimistic mayor that faces 2014, much like many of those he serves.

Noosa will have their hands full … and we will provide assistance but equally we will have our hands full

When asked about the de-amalgamation of Noosa Council from the previous Sunshine Coast Council, mayor Mark Jamieson is pragmatic. “In the end the people of Noosa and district voted to de-amalgamate. My preference was for the region to remain as one but I couldn’t argue,” he says.

“It has been for all concerned a major distraction; it has meant people involved in all sort of issues that have taken them away from real tasks and now it has been decided [it is time to move forward].”

Jamieson is conf dent he and Noosa mayor Noel Playford can work together and at the ceremonial handover on the December 12 council meeting in the Tewantin chambers, councillors and mayors had a cuppa and a chat – Jamieson says it is a good sign that the relationship will be amicable.

Still, both the Sunshine Coast and Noosa councils have plenty to do at home. “Noosa will have their hands full re-establishing their new council and we will provide assistance but equally we will have our hands full.”

HELPING KIDS ADJUST TO SCHOOL

Tips for helping children through the school year:

S

The most important thing you can do is let your child know that you trust them and keep communication open a new class or school can make children highly apprehensive, parental support will equip kids to deal with resulting stress.

“Parents are the key. They know their children better than anyone and will soon see if their kids need extra support as they settle into the new school year,” Fitzgerald says.

[ 16 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ FE B RUARY 21, 2 0 1 4

chool might have been back for a month but for some children it doesn’t get any easier as the weeks go by.

Some struggle to adjust to the changes brought about by moving to a new school, having new teachers or transitioning to high school. Others don’t cope with the academic workload.

Kids Helpline is encouraging parents to help kids who are still struggling to settle into the school year by paying close attention to their behaviour.

BoysTown counselling centre manager and Kids Helpline spokesperson Tony Fitzgerald says while “By helping their children prepare for change and keeping an eye out for behavioural changes, parents can make all the difference to how their school year begins and ends.

“Some kids may fear they won’t make new friends, others might not understand what a new school routine might mean.

“It can be particularly daunting for students who have moved to high school where they adapt to routine changes like a new room for each class and different teachers. They may also fear letting their parents down academically.

“The most important thing you can do is let your child know that you trust them and keep communication open,” Fitzgerald says.

• Be available to discuss problems and help them think of ways to overcome these challenges.

• Attend parent-teacher interviews for information on how the young person is going.

• Encourage them to do homework and revise their in-class material so they don’t fall behind in their academic progress.

• Provide opportunities to develop their social networks by encouraging them to invite other students to your home outside of school hours.

Kids Helpline, Australia’s only national children’s counselling service, provides 24/7 counselling to young people aged f ve to 25 years.

Young people can call 1800 55 1800 to talk with a qualif ed counsellor about any issues from school problems to online safety, family relationships to body image and everything in between.

Parents and young people can visit kidshelp.com.au to access a range of online resources including hot topics and information sheets.

The Collaborative Approach to Liquor Management’s new chair, Luke Bartlett, has shared his vision for Caloundra’s bars and clubs to work hand-in-hand with the Chamber of Commerce.

CALM, initiated six years ago, is a voluntary partnership of liquor licensees, which aims to f nd practical solutions to alcohol-related issues.

“CALM Caloundra has made great progress in its goal to improve liquor management strategies for Caloundra venues since its establishment in 2008,” Bartlett says.

Caloundra Chamber of Commerce spokesperson Bill Darby says the chamber is keen to work with CALM and commit to strategies to improve the vibrancy of the hospitality in Caloundra.

Caloundra liquor licensees are invited to attend a CALM Caloundra meeting at Kings Beach Tavern on March 20. Contact Luke Bartlett on 5431 8374 for details.

Koala scientists join USC Two internationally renowned microbiology researchers have joined the University of the Sunshine Coast to further their scientific fight against diseases such as chlamydia in humans and animals.

Professor of microbiology Peter Timms and senior research fellow Dr Adam Polkinghorne are renowned for their excellence in microbiology, especially regarding the chlamydia bacterium and iconic species such as koalas.

“Peter and Adam are bringing over $1 million in national research funding to our university, along with a team of up to six researchers initially and extensive links with local, national and international partners,” says USC pro vicechancellor professor Roland De Marco.

Timms and Polkinghorne were previously at Queensland University of Technology, where they were key members of a world-f rst genome mapping project that uncovered vital information about koala genes.

UPGRADE & DOWNSIZE Upgrade and downsize, to the heart of the Sunshine Coast’s f net lifestyle precinct. The perfect balance exists between a relaxed beachside lifestyle and a vibrant village feel, situated in one of the Coast’s most sought after property locations.

Their multimillion-dollar projects will operate from USC, with one of the major goals to develop chlamydia vaccines for humans and koalas.

Timms says USC offered opportunities to expand his team’s projects across research areas from biomedicine to veterinary health.

“This f ts with our belief in the global ‘One Health’ initiative, which promotes collaborative, multi-disciplinary health research involving humans, animals and the environment,” he says.

They have established partnerships with local hospitals, health clinics, wildlife hospitals and other organisations.

Consisting of just 45 apartments across 8 levels, this quality residential building has been architecturally designed to the highest standards with every modern amenity.

Featuring fully integrated security systems for peace of mind.

SUPPORT FOR NEW MUMS

H

aving a baby can be daunting and fraught with challenges – especially for first time parents.

And for those who lack the support provided by a network of close friends and family it can be downright overwhelming.

But Child, Youth and Family Health Services child health nurse Jessica Kumar says there is an extensive range of free services available on the Coast to help new parents adjust to life with a baby.

Kumar says many new parents on the Coast have moved from interstate for the lifestyle and lack family and friends to help them, while some mums have husbands working in f y-in-f y-out jobs.

“It isn’t that easy to connect with other mums and services,” she says.

Kumar, who works out of the Maroochydore Community Health Centre, says a drop-in clinic and parenting groups are among the services available to parents with young babies.

Fiona Edington has taken part in two of the programs and found valuable resources to help her adjust to having a new baby.

She attended the First Visit group – a one-off two-hour session – with her husband.

“We didn’t even know we had questions until we sat down with someone,” Edington says.

Then she joined the Parenting Young Babies group, a six-week course facilitated by a child health nurse.

She says it helps to have people to talk to and to meet parents who are going through the same things.

It also provides valuable information and a social network. “I really do think it is important that every new mum is aware of the services that they offer,” she says.

Kumar says while the parenting group offers ongoing support they also talk about a range of issues such as sleep patterns and parent/child relationships.

And guest speakers are brought

New mums celebrate their last session in the Parenting Young Babies group in to raise awareness about other services in the community, including occupational therapy, f rst aid, oral health, speech pathology and swimming programs.

Kylie Kavanagh used the drop-in service when she f rst left hospital with her newborn and had an appointment for a lactation consultation, which she says was “absolutely brilliant”.

Like Edington she has just f nished the six-week Parenting

Young Babies group. “It helps you understand how your bub develops and things that you can do for bub and that you’re not the only that is going through the sleepless nights,” Kavanagh says.

“I cannot praise it any higher.

They don’t judge you. Everything’s in conf dence. They’re just beautiful.”

She says the social benef ts of the group are also great and they have already been to a Mums with Bubs

Kumar says mums in the public system are given information on the services but not all new mums in the private system hear about it.

App of the week Google Earth

Free Yes, I know Google Earth is not new and most of you have probably used it before. However, using Google Earth on a mobile device is a great example of how some apps get better with the functions and features of mobile devices. You can see the difference from the time you f rst open the app. Navigation is smooth, creating an experience that encourages the viewer to explore new places as well as revisiting past journeys.

Google Earth also has a wealth of interesting information. Simply touch the Google Earth Gallery on the side menu and visually learn about business, economy, culture, history, science and the environment from a geographical point of view. This feature makes Google Earth one of the must-have tools that schools and businesses should use.

Weekly read > Whether you love to be in the know about the latest science research or just have a penchant for strange and interesting facts, the Smithsonian Mag is for you. It is teeming with interesting morsels of information sure to ignite dinner party conversations or classroom discussions. Did you know, for example, that crocodiles can climb trees? If you’re planning a visit to northern Australia you might have preferred not to know about that one.

But there’s plenty more on the Smithsonian website to spark some interest.

You might instead be interested to learn about vacations under the sea or whether quicksand is real. And did you know our brains now process a smiley face as a real smile? Be warned, it is a site you can quickly get engrossed in. Read all that and so much more at smithsonianmag.com.

Bits and Bytes >> If you’re fond of exploring the world below the ocean then you might be excited about a set of artif cial gills. Designed by Like-A-Fish Technologies, the device essentially gives humans the breathing abilities of a f sh. It apparently works by converting sea water into dissolved oxygen. The gills are reportedly still in the testing stage with suggestions they are being considered for us use se in military vessels.

Online news research Exploring the way older people engage with online news is the focus of a new research project at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

The aim of the research, being conducted by USC senior lecturer Dr Renee Barnes, is to ensure older people stay connected with the news in a digital era.

Barnes, who leads the university’s journalism program, is seeking survey participants for her pilot study.

“I’ve received $10,000 in funding from the auDA Foundation to investigate how older Australians are engaging with online news,” says Barnes. The foundation is a charitable trust established by auDA (.au Domain Administration) to encourage educational and research activities to enhance the use of the internet for the benef t of the Australian community.

Barnes says understanding how older adults engage with online news is vital in the changing media landscape. “On one hand we have news increasingly moving towards

“She has a great business message about overcoming the fears and changing the mindset,” Morris tells MWP. “She treats sport like a business.”

Morris says Pottharst is a lot of fun with a great story and promises to be an inspiring speaker to motivate locals. She spent 22 years competing in volleyball and won her way into the hearts of Australians after her gallant efforts winning a bronze medal at the Atlanta Olympics and a gold medal at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

She has written a book titled The Business of Being an Athlete.

Pottharst will speak at the next Hot Business Events Conversations to Inspire Change on Friday February 28 at Maroochy RSL from 7am.

T

hree factors should influence the performance of the utilities sector in 2014.

The f rst factor is our expectation that electricity demand will remain under pressure in 2014. We expect a decline of around two per cent in 2014, with further penetration of solar panels and household and industry demand responding to higher prices. The second factor is that customer churn rates between electricity providers will moderate.

The past 12 months is likely to mark the peak year of competitive intensity in the market. Reduced churn should help to stabilise valuations for AGL Energy and Origin.

The third factor is that the national energy regulator will adopt a transitional period of 10 years in its calculation of regulated returns for network utilities. Certain allowances for debt costs could allow utilities to earn excess returns by adopting short-term f nancing.

Origin Energy is one of our preferred utility stocks. Its LNG project in Queensland continues to track in line with expectations for project delivery and cost. With reduced risks around delivery, we have brought forward our forecasts for f rst gas from the project. The transformation of Origin’s retail

business and cost reduction program should also contribute to improved operating performance.

As for AGL Energy, a little less than two years after it acquired the Loy Yang A power station, the company stands on the threshold of a similar-sized deal in NSW. At the right price, an acquisition of part, or all, of Macquarie Generation (which the NSW Government is considering selling) should enable AGL to strike a balance between near-term earnings drag and longer-term value creation.

Beyond Macquarie Generation, our focus turns to the impact of carbon tax-related compensation for Loy Yang A receding in the 2015 f nancial year and the extent to which incremental gas sales can bridge the earnings gap. We envisage a positive effect from the latter, but it will be insuff cient to offset the loss of operating prof t from compensation.

Overall, our price target of $16.40 exceeds the current share price.

The resilience of SP AusNet’s electricity transmission business due to its ‘revenue cap’ tariff structure is set to support strong operating performance in 2014. Furthermore, it is the only network utility able to take advantage of rising rates; a rare occasion where a regulatory reset presents an opportunity for outperformance. It is worth noting the ATO has informed SP AusNet that it will review its intra-group f nancing arrangements. Further clarif cation might provide an opportunity to consider the stock.

Q. What’s your favourite go-to meal at home? Anything Asian. It changes all the time but at the moment I’ve been playing around with a lot of Vietnamese cuisine. I f nd the f avours are very bold and fresh and very healthy as well. They are very quick and easy to prepare and taste great.

Q. What’s your favourite local produce and how do you use it?

I’m looking forward to Brussels sprouts coming back into season next month as I want to play around with them on our winter menu.

Q. What’s the best advice someone ever gave you? Never stop learning.

The restaurant industry is always changing and evolving, new techniques and creative ideas are always being

thought of. As long as you keep pushing to try and better yourself as a chef you will always love what you do.

Q. Who’s the most interesting person you’ve cooked for? Probably wouldn’t be who I’ve cooked for but who I cooked with – I worked on a private chef’s table at Huka Lodge with Guillaume Brahimi of Bennelong restaurant at the Sydney Opera House.

We had two full-on days of preparation and after the service we all sat on milk crates or buckets in the back kitchen having a quiet beer. Guillaume came out and thanked us all and then began speaking about the restaurant life and food. He had our entire kitchen team in silence as he spoke of his passion for food and the hospitality industry.

Q. What’s the best part of being a chef? Creativity and always learning something new. As we work such long hours together you also form strong bonds with your workmates and they become a second family to you and chances are you’ll be spending your birthday/ Christmas/Easter/anniversaries and any other special days you might have outside of the kitchen life, so you might as well enjoy their company.

Q. Who’s the most inf uential person in your life and why? There are too many to put down on paper but my wife Sarah for her unwavering support, my family and almost every chef that I have worked with.

NOW THAT IS PEACHY!

Perfect style The staff at Maroochydore’s Strut Hair offer these tips on getting your mane into shape every day.

Perhaps the biggest issue most of us face when considering our hairstyles on a daily ba basis is the weather. When W styling your y own hair, take tak a look at what tthe weather is doing. doin If you are straightening str curly hair on a rainy day, you may want w to reconsider. recon The moisture mois in the air will w turn your sleek look into a frizzy night nightmare.

A better option b would be t curl by embracing the using a st styling pro product such

as Kevin Murphy Curl Enhancing Lotion. If your hair is f ne and falls limp due to the moisture in the air grab a product that gives weightless volume, such as Kevin Murphy Anti-Gravity. Remember though, no one product can solve a lifetime of hair dramas, and often variations in seasons require a complete overhaul of your hair care regime. You might not be using the correct hair care product to prepare your hair for styling, so consult with a professional and have a package tailored to your needs covering three essential areas: cleansing and care; styling; and f nishing. A thorough consultation with a hair-care professional can save you hours of drama trying to manage your hair on a daily basis by ensuring you are starting off with quality, effective products and armed with the knowledge of how to use them.

7 Biggest Mistakes you could be making that could cause Permanent Depression, Anxiety or ADHD Are you not as happy as you used to be? Is stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, or ADHD overwhelming you? Are anti-depressants not working for you?

Do you f nd yourself irritated, not able to feel excited, or constantly thinking negatively? Do you have trouble sleeping, your mind won’t stop racing, or you wake too often through the night? Do you get anxiety at bed time where you can hear your heart beating while your head is on the pillow?

We had an incredible response from all who were logged on for the webinar we ran about one of my favourite topics – Solving the puzzle that creates Anxiety Depression & ADHD. When you put it all together, it all makes sense.

There are 7 key underlying triggers which can cause all of these symptoms including anxiety, nervousness, depression, or lack of excitement and motivation for life. Stress feels overwhelming, and little upsets cause feelings of anger. Palpitations, excessive heat in the body, tingling in the hands or feet, irritable bowel syndrome, foggy brain and lack of concentration including ADHD in children, can also be present. Often these symptoms have been going on for months, years or even decades.

You may suffer just a few of the above symptoms or perhaps all of them.

The 7 key common triggers that affect your brain, cause a compounding effect that your brain cannot deal with, which leads to long term, and then permanent brainwave pattern changes, affecting your personality, mood, and ability to think and cope, permanently!

Fortunately it can be quite easy to address.

Patients who have suffered depression for four decades, have reported to have improved out of sight after one month and other patients have shown improvement after just one week of treatment, including sufferers of Major Depressive Disorder, and children with ADHD, who have then been able to reduce their medication in less than 7 weeks, and these results are permanent and medication free!

Proven with testing, these steps improve brain function immeasurably, without the help of medication, in adults and children. To f nd out more, call the centre and arrange a free half hour consultation, or view the webinar on our website.

A webinar is simply a seminar that you can see on the internet. You just register through the website and it will play for you on your computer. It’s easy and it’s free. Register now for 7 Steps to Freedom from Anxiety, Depression & ADHD at www. advancedwellness.com.au.

CHEEKY Pop of colour

Getting f t in 2014 2013 was the year of CrossFit, so what are the top f tness trends in Australia for 2014? According to beautydirectory.com.au, there are three exercise crazes you might want to get into.

1. HIIT

Look out for Cliniqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Cheek Pop, $40, a blusher that applies as a smooth liquid and transforms into a lightweight powder, providing a silky texture on the cheeks. Fragrance free and allergy tested, it comes in four shades - Ginger Pop, Peach Pop, Berry Pop and Plum Pop.

2. Bodyweight training

Predicted as the top f tness trend for 2014 by the renowned American College of Sports Medicine survey, HIIT (high-intensity interval training) involves short bursts of activity followed by a short period of rest or recovery, with the exercise programs usually lasting for less than 30 minutes.

Popular HIIT training sessions include the sevenminute workout challenge and Tabata training.

Using the idea of getting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;back to basicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with f tness, bodyweight training is all about using your own body weight as resistance rather than free weights (think push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and planks). Look out for popular 30-day f tness challenges, where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be encouraged to do squats, abs, planks, and burpees that build up over 30 days.

3. Voga

Combining the expressive moves of a dance class with the breath-synchronised movement of yoga, classes are held to music including Madonna (no surprises there), Prince and Paula Abdul.

Protect your skin Red Teaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natural Skin Therapy facial mask is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent damage to the skin, with essential oils and red tea extract. Available from Moffat Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clasique Warehouse.

Getting Hearing Aids STEP BY STEP If you have mild to severe hearing loss, and think you need a hearing aid, you are not alone.

Thousands of people suffer from hearing loss each year and are able to increase their quality of life just with a simple hearing aid. The process in getting a hearing aid is a memorable experience and straightforward. Here is the procedure, step-by-step and what you can do to get started.

EVALUATION/DIAGNOSIS & CONSULTATION The f rst step in the process is to get an effective diagnosis from a certif ed hearing specialist. During this step, you take a hearing test and the audiologist or tester reviews the results after the test. They can tell you how severe your hearing loss is and make recommendations for the hearing aid to be f tted and the prescription specif cations.

During the consultation step, the tester/ audiologist will tell you the results and make recommendations on your hearing aid, if you need one. Every brand of hearing aid on the market has several types available. Together you will choose the most suitable hearing device for your needs.

FITTING AND TESTING After the hearing evaluation and consultation, the audiologist or hearing specialist will f t you for a hearing aid and test out the eff ciency of the hearing aids in your ears to make sure they are working properly and that they work well for you

25% OFF On ANY ONE FULL PRICED ITEM with presentation of the advert

TRIAL PERIOD The standard trial period to test out the device is usually around 30 days. This provides ample time to make sure it is working with your particular hearing loss situation so that adjustments can be made as needed to f t you.

LONG-TERM USE Once the above steps have been successful, you are ready for long-term use. Keep in mind there is a slight adjustment period as your ears and brain get used to hearing sounds somewhat different than before. The hearing aid amplif es natural sound so it has a different tone than before you got the hearing aid. Give yourself some time to adjust and it will be f ne.

You can contact us to learn more. We offer a complete 5-year hearing maintenance plan in making sure your hearing instruments are continuously serviced so that you are able to receive the maximum benef t from wearing your selected devices. We trust this maintenance plan will be of benef t to you by easing the burden of the costs involved in maintaining and servicing your hearing aid/s.

GRAND PLANS

MWP ASKED THE SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL TO SET OUT THE REGION’S BEST NEW PROJECTS AND ITS LIST OF ACHIEVEMENTS. HERE THEY ARE. SUNSHINE COAST PUBLIC UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: Australia’s f rst major new hospital in more than 20 years on a greenf eld site is emerging. The $1.8 billion facility is due to open in late 2016 with about 450 beds, growing to a 738-bed facility by 2021. About 6000 administrative, medical and operational staff will be required by 2021.

OCEANSIDE KAWANA HEALTH PRECINCT: A whole new town

is being built around the hospital, with homes, commercial and retail space, plus ancillary and related health services.

MAROOCHYDORE CITY CENTRE: The much-anticipated city

centre might be a few years away but there is much to look forward to. The centre will become an important commercial hub and the plan for it sets out 150,000 square metres of

new commercial f oor space, plus 65,000 square metres of new retail f oor space by 2031. There are to be a proposed 4000 new dwellings as well as signif cant community facilities.

Importantly, under the plan, 40 per cent of the golf course site is to become public open space.

AIRPORT EXPANSION PROJECT: The government is in the

process of handing over three parcels of land needed by the council for the airport expansion. The proposed $400 million project includes a new east-west runway and a new terminal with retail facilities. The project could create up to 5000 direct jobs, and increase our region’s passenger capacity. It will also help add to the diversif cation of the Coast’s jobs and economic base and inject about $1.6 billion in regional economic benef t between 2015 and 2050.

VALDORA SOLAR FARM: The

Breakfa ast with h Kerrri Pottharrst Oam m

proposed solar farm near Coolum will cost an estimated $24 millionplus and will meet half the council’s electricity needs for at least the next 30 years, saving ratepayers $9 million and reducing the region’s carbon footprint. The farm will also inject $10 million into the local economy over the next 10 years and create up to 40 jobs during construction.

CALOUNDRA SOUTH: The new

The $350 million Plaza expansion will add 37,000 square metres to the shopping centre, creating jobs and giving the Coast its f rst David Jones.

Stockland development covers 2360 hectares and is set to provide homes for an estimated 50,000 people.

MAJOR ROADWORKS: An $80 million f yover and road project south of the Caloundra turn-off on the Bruce Highway will help commuters and boost hinterland businesses. It will link Beerwah and the highway via an upgraded Roys Road, taking pressure off Steve Irwin Way, which connects the towns of Mooloolah, Landsborough, Beerwah, Glass House Mountains and Beerburrum.

The new scheme replaces the Caloundra City Plan 2004 and the Maroochy Plan 2000. The council expects to adopt the new planning scheme, which has been reviewed to support the new Regional Economic Development Strategy,

by March 2014.

In the 2013/14 f scal year to date, $5.79 million from has been spent on such land purchases, including the Ilkley and Cambroon land last week, and land parcels at Verrierdale and Mt Ninderry late last year.

MAKE THE MOVE TO MALENY

Active over 50s looking for an idyllic lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast can meet local property expert Victoria Dent and take a tour of Living Gems Sunstone Gardens Resort at Maleny.

Dent says Maleny is the jewel in the crown of the Glass House Mountain region.

“Homes in this desirable location are at a premium but Living Gems Sunstone Gardens Resort makes owning a home at Maleny affordable,” she says.

“Architect designed two- and three-bedroom homes are priced from $268,000, but the resort is almost sold out. It’s hardly surprising as home owners have all the advantages of award-winning resort facilities on site and a captivating village lifestyle on the doorstep.

“Sunstone Garden is set on 5.6 hectares of landscaped grounds.

The private screened entry and wide landscaped streets form the backdrop to a fabulous lifestyle.

Residents can start the day with a stroll in the grounds, a swim in the heated pool or a workout in the gym,” says Dent.

“Join friends and neighbours for morning tea in the country club, play bowls on the green or billiards in the snooker room. Learn a new craft, take up woodwork or explore the well-stocked library.

“Take lunch in the country club, see a movie in the cinema and enjoy cocktails on the terrace. The secure, pet-friendly estate has onsite management to take care of the upkeep. Professional landscapers look after the grounds and home owners’ front gardens,” she says.

Dent says Living Gems is a lifestyle resort industry leader.

“These resorts are the best of the best with a number of industry awards to their credit. There are no entry fees, exit fees or council rates. Home owners retain all of their capital gain if they choose to sell and the site fees are the lowest of any comparable Australian lifestyle resorts.

“Living Gems Sunstone Gardens Resort occupies a prime position on Macadamia Drive in the heart of the Maleny. There are a range of shops, galleries, coffee shops, restaurants, medical facilities and a hospital within easy walking distance.

“Maleny is within 30 minutes’ drive of golden beaches, upmarket Noosa is less than an hour from the resort and Brisbane can be reached in 60 minutes.”

For more information about Living Gems Sunstone Gardens Resort and tour bookings email sunstonesales@livinggems.com.au or call 1800 193 177.

AWARD-WINNING LIVING Fresh from picking up multiple Urban Development of Australia (UDIA) Awards for Excellence, including the coveted President’s Award and Queensland’s best Seniors’ Living, Halcyon Landing has launched its latest release of homes, called The Awards Collection.

The penultimate release of 17 exclusive homes showcases a wide choice of new home designs on some of the largest sites ever offered in the gated over-50s community located in Bli Bli. Homes in The Awards Collection benef t from a host of new upgrades and inclusions including LED lighting, two-kilowatt solar panels, new colour schemes and feature stone textures, Miele products, spacious sites and more advanced landscaping amongst other highlights.

Purpose designed to take advantage of each site’s aspect, the homes take in natural views across Coral Pond or out to a canopy of mature trees. Proximity to the Maroochy River and easy access to the new River Markets Shopping Centre are all part of

the allure of the release.

Also awarded for green initiatives, each Awards Collection home comes standard with an eight-star energy rating. This means the home is warmer in winter and cooler in summer while using less energy and saving money in the long term. Purchasers also have the option to upgrade to a higher 10-star energy rating for additional energy eff ciency and performance.

Ultimately Halcyon Landing will consist of 170 homes bordered by a signature walking trail and extensive parklands. The community features a fully completed recreational precinct with resort-style facilities including the lavish Rec Club, championship size bowling green, f ood-lit tennis court, swimming pool, spa, putting green and more.

Plans for The Awards Collection will be unveiled at a special open day on Saturday March 1 from 10am, and interested parties are invited to come along, enjoy the hospitality and see why Halcyon Landing has been judged Queensland’s best community.

For more information phone 1800 050 050.

ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE Private aged-care facilities now offer a much more personalised experience, according to Seasons Private Aged Care. Amid growing demand for a more flexible and personalised lifestyle, the communities are combining the freedom of living in one’s own home with the care and services required to make life as comfortable as possible.

Private aged care offers the community lifestyle and day-to-day care of traditional nursing homes, and can provide the benef t of technologies and services typically found only in a hospital setting.

In private aged-care facilities the focus is on the individual’s needs. This may mean ensuring a couple can remain together in their own home, with the provision of personal or nursing care, or specialist dementia and palliative care services.

Residents buy and have leasehold title to their own home, which is ideal for those seniors who wish to retain their independence for as long as possible without having to worry about needing to move in the future.

THE COMFORTS OF HOME Depending on the location, private aged-care communities offer a variety of home choices with the same privacy and comfort residents have

[ 40 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ FE B RUARY 21, 2 0 1 4

40.indd 1

enjoyed throughout their lives: their own front door, small pets, a private space where friends and family can visit or stay.

Interiors are bright and attractive, and typically comprise a lounge and dining room, full kitchen, one or two bedrooms, bathroom and laundry facilities, and a private balcony or courtyard.

All homes also have in-built emergency response systems and monitoring technology. There are no stairs, ensuring homes are wheelchair friendly, and most have wide access doorways and safety grab rails in the bathroom. Other features can include air-conditioning, security screens and private parking for those who require it.

A VIBRANT, SOCIAL COMMUNITY Each private community is staffed by professional carers and all communities have a consulting room for visiting GPs and health professionals.

The community dining room offers homecooked meals and the lifestyle centres provide comfortable facilities including lounge areas, libraries, cinemas and activities rooms. Friends and family are always welcome for visits and family celebrations, and there is an active events calendar for residents who still love getting out and about.

PRIVATE IN-HOME CARE One of the great benef ts of private aged-care communities is that residents and their families know care is always on hand. Fully qualif ed and experienced carers are available around the clock, in the privacy of the resident’s own home.

As needs increase the services increase. A care assessment will determine the level of services an individual needs, and importantly, each resident pays only based on the services he or she uses, and not on the basis of their assets or income.

NO MEANS TESTING OR ACAT ASSESSMENTS Accessing private aged care is surprisingly easy – there is no need for means testing or ACAT assessment (as required by nursing homes).

Suff cient funds for the initial lease purchase and a modest weekly income (approximately equal to the maximum base pension) is often all that may be required; additionally if a prospective resident is already receiving government-funded care benef ts they can potentially retain that funding. Affordable and f exible payment options can be tailored to suit the individual’s personalised care plan.

emember the Toyota RAV4?

Not the big, slightly f abby machine that wears the badge these days. I mean the original RAV. It was quite a revelation back in the day.

In many ways, it started the SUV revolution that has swept the motoring world.

That original RAV has been reborn.

Well, kind of. It wears a Nissan badge these days – they call it the Nissan Juke.

But it’s almost as small, every bit as funky and nearly as much fun as that

f rst RAV was a couple of decades ago.

It boasts that same sort of shrunkendown cuteness that def ned the RAV, and it has a wheelbase almost as short.

It’s unique to drive – heaps of power for such a small, light vehicle, with all-wheel-drive capability (in some models, anyway), surprisingly sharp and sporty handling and a funky interior.

The Juke is the latest member of the large and ever-growing range of Nissan SUVs. At last count the Japanese manufacturer offered 10 off-road or soft-road machines, from the iconic

Patrol, the Murano, X-Trail, the recently reborn Pathf nder all the way down to the Dualis, which is joined by the Juke in the small SUV segment.

The Dualis already owns 20 per cent of that market but Nissan hopes the Juke will entice an entirely new type of buyer. And Nissan will soon unveil the Qashquai, which sits somewhere between those two models and is proving a big hit in overseas markets.

Phew. Talk about being spoiled for choice. And that’s not to mention the 4x4 versions of Nissan’s Navara ute,

[ and of course the SUV variants in Nissan’s luxury Inf niti range.

The Juke, though, is carving out its own niche.

It’s part SUV and part city car. In fact its styling is remarkably similar to the baby Micra.

That styling is edgy but won’t win everybody’s approval. Pronounced wheel arches, swept-back bubblestyle headlights and big, bug-eyed fog lights dominate at the front of what Nissan describes as a “sporty and distinctive” machine.

Nissan says the Juke’s design is “inspired by active lifestyle inf uences including motorcycles and rally cars”.

The Juke will be offered with a choice of two engines, one a normally aspirated 1.6-litre four-cylinder (86kW, 158Nm) and a turbo-charged, direct-injected 1.6-litre (140kW, 240Nm) it shares with the Pulsar SSS. It will drive two or four wheels through a f ve-speed manual or smooth-shifting CVT auto, with a sports-shift function.

The Juke will feature three trim levels – ST, ST-s and the top-of-theline Ti-S and pricing ranges from

$21,990 right up to $32,190.

We drove the top-spec TI-S, featuring the punchy turbo engine and all-wheel-drive grip. It’s clearly the pick of the bunch. Although costing more than $35K once you get it on the road, it would want to be.

That’s certainly pricey for a machine of this size and puts it into competition with BMW’s X1 and Audi’s Q3 and soon-to-arrive Q1.

Countering that is the high level of equipment in the top-spec Nissan, including a full array of electronic handling aids. Luxury gear includes nicely sculpted leather seats (heated) and Bluetooth audio streaming.

A modern-looking and functional dash arrangement includes a comprehensive trip computer between the turbine-style speedo and tacho dials. Although toggling between displays requires a push of a button on the dash, rather than on the wheel which would be better.

There’s also a secondary display, further down the centre console stack, that shows things like turbo boost and torque, but you have to take your eyes off the road to read

them, which seems a bit pointless.

The Juke is also quite a sophisticated thing mechanically.

We drove the 1.6-litre DiG turbo-charged model, boasting the same 1.6-litre, four-cylinder turbo powerplant, and similar acceleration and performance, as the spunky SSS performance version of Nissan’s latest Pulsar.

The engine’s punchy 140 kilowatts is piped through a smoothshifting CVT (constantly variable) transmission and powers all four wheels.

Off cial fuel consumption f gures are 7.4L/100km for the turbo and as low as 6L/100km for the entrylevel model. Our test found no reason to dispute those numbers.

Nissan claims the Juke can accommodate f ve adults,

M O T O R I N G

]

although I suspect not all would f nd it comfortable. The Juke’s ride is f rm and tends to get a little jiggly over uneven surfaces (a product of that short wheelbase) but it remains generally composed and turns in with bite and precision.

The Juke is a refreshing entry to the ever-more diverse SUV market, and ours was a fun and engaging machine to drive.

Is it as good as the original RAV4?

We always remember things more fondly as the years pass. But the Juke is a worthy modern-day incarnation.

DANGERS OF TAILGATING

T

ailgating, according to the Queensland Road Rules, is the act of following another vehicle too closely.

The reality is we have probably all done it at least once, whether we are aware of it or not. We’re running late, stuck behind someone driving slower than the speed limit or we may have accidentally started sitting too close to them.

On the other side of the coin, many of us have experienced the person in the car behind getting a little bit too close to our rear wheels.

What we might not be aware of is that tailgating

Vehicles to communicate

comes with a $256 f ne and one demerit point.

Apart from the impact on our driving record and our hip pocket, tailgating can be dangerous. Driving too close to the vehicle in front does not allow for space to stop in an emergency. This could mean a collision with the car in front, or the need to swerve to avoid impact, possibly jeopardising the safety of yourself and others in the vicinity.

Another issue with tailgating is the person whose tail you are sitting on may get anxious (especially if your headlights are shining in their eyes), and they may feel compelled to speed up, to maintain distance between the two cars. This could cause them to drive unnecessarily fast to try and shake you off.

These are not the hallmarks of defensive driving.

The best way to ensure you are not tailgating is to use the three-second rule; when driving, ensure there is a three-second stopping distance between your car and the car in front.

If you are driving in front of a tailgater, gradually slow down enough to add an extra second to your own three-second rule with the car in front.

This will allow you to increase your braking time and allow the driver behind you more time to react.

Alternatively, pull over and let them pass.

It’s best to avoid giving them the standard ‘cheery wave’ as they pass you, as this could cause problems for you, especially if they are already antagonised.

It is the stuff of sci-fi movies, but vehicles travelling on American roads will soon be able to ‘talk’ to one another to avoid accidents.

American regulators have given the green light to the use of vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology that can exchange basic safety data such as speed and position to help avoid collisions.

“Vehicle-to-vehicle technology represents the next generation of autosafety improvements, building on the life-saving achievements we’ve already seen with safety belts and air bags,” says US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.

“By helping drivers avoid crashes, this technology will play a key role in improving the way people get where they need to go while ensuring that the US remains the leader in the global automotive industry.”

Off cials say the technology can help avert rear-end, lane change, and intersection crashes, but the systems do not include technology such as automatic braking or steering.

MORE BUYERS THAN SELLERS First advertisement in MWP = SOLD! For the property at 15 Antigua Court, Kawana Island the f rst advertisement in MWP attracted 11 groups and a cash contract straight after the open home.

Thanks MWP – you’ve done it again.

Bill Howcroft, Howcroft and Associates

Well worth it The owners at 21-23 Settlers Ridge, Buderim initially didn’t want to advertise when they put their property up for auction just before Christmas. But after two weeks of poor enquiry we convinced them to advertise in print. We had four inspections in the two weeks prior to the ads running and 31 in the three weeks that we advertised in MWP. The result went from a potential disaster to four registered bidders and $34,000 over reserve.

Dave Hawkins and Darren Rix, Team Excellence

Works every time My Weekly Preview is the most effective vehicle to expose our clients’ properties to the widest audience possible. Every week we’re generating fantastic results and when measuring in-house data, it is our number one source of enquiry, which leads to signed contracts. When our clients ask us to take every possible step to sell their home, a My Weekly Preview campaign is crucial to obtaining the best result.

Jarrad McCarthy, RealWay Buderim

MWP delivers four offers and 80 groups I was extremely happy with the turn-out and response I received from the f ve half-page ads in MWP for 2 Muringo Court, Minyama. There were around 80 groups of people who inspected the property during the open homes which coincided with each advertisement. The vendors were also pleased with the outcome as they had four offers presented to them, which resulted in a sale and is due to settle in the next few days.

Karen Jones, Next Property Group

Better than the net We experienced a massive increase in inspections from our MWP campaign. At 7 Parkview Terrace, Buderim we ran a fourweek campaign in MWP. The f rst weekend was internet only and we had just four inspections, the second weekend we had a half-page ad in MWP and had 21 inspections over two days.

With advertisements for three consecutive weeks, we then saw a total of 52 inspections. The seller has been extremely pleased with the results of the marketing campaign.

Tim Burrough, Belle Property Buderim

Realty Excellence

Thank you MWP We did a three-week campaign advertising 8 Bretz Street, Buderim in MWP and had around 60 groups through during the campaign. On auction day there were more than 40 people in attendance, with three registered bidders and we sold under the hammer. Thanks MWP, you’ve done it again.

Jodie Hedley-Ward, Next Property Group

Phenomenal result RGD Property Group recently ran two half-page ads for a duplex development at Birtinya. The enquiry generated by those two ads was phenomenal. Buyers were literally walking in with the ad in their hands. Thank you MWP for such a successful campaign.

Gail Hunter RGD Property Group

If you’re thinking about selling, now is the time – see below for recent success stories

Amazing success Thanks to MWP our December in-room auctions were an amazing success. I say amazing because the result was so much better than we expected. By the end of the night six out of 10 properties were SOLD UNCONDITIONALLY, another two have been sold since and we have had multiple offers on the remaining two. I am conf dent we will have successfully sold 10 out of 10. At least 60 per cent of the buyers I spoke to at the open homes prior to auction day f rst spotted the ad in My Weekly Preview.

Steve Perry, RE/MAX Property Sales

Sold under the hammer Just recently, the owners of 32 Tallow Wood Drive, Kuluin chose a three-week marketing program using MWP. The program went to plan with nearly 40 buyer inspections, seven offers prior to auction, four registered bidders and a warm and friendly crowd of around 35 at the auction. This resulted in a successful sale under the hammer. Thank you very much MWP for your important part in the sale.

Jason Burns, Next Property Group

It’s all about numbers To achieve a premium result when selling, you need to attract all the prospective buyers to create competition. A recent four-week campaign in both print and the internet produced 29 group inspections. MWP produced 21 of those buyers, three written offers and the successful purchaser. The result was a record sale in the street and the sellers were very happy. MWP outperforms time and again.

Dave Hawkins and Darren Rix, Team Excellence

MWP offers great exposure A recent four-week auction campaign for a Buderim property with half-page and full-page marketing in MWP resulted in 45 inspections, two registered bidders, three offers and a subsequent sale post auction. It was a great result due in no small part to the quality exposure generated in MWP. Bevan Horsnell, Belle Property Buderim

Let’s be friends THE LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP CAN BE A TRICKY ONE TO GET RIGHT. MPP CHATS TO SOME EXPERIENCED PROPERTY MANAGERS TO GET THEIR ADVICE FOR LOCAL LANDLORDS.

O

ver the years, the relationship between landlord and tenant has developed a reputation for being a bit frosty. Reports on current affairs programs about the ‘tenants from hell’ – and stories of over-enthusiastic owners turning up on the doorstep uninvited – have sparked distrust on both sides.

But if you are a landlord, or are about to become one, local property managers say good communication is key to maintaining a positive relationship with your tenant.

Karen Stehr from Next Property Group has worked as a property manager for more than 23 years, and says while many landlords have had a negative view of tenants in the past, that perception is changing for the better.

the person renting their property by sending copies of their application forms and inviting the owner to inspections.

“I invite owners to come along to my routine inspections, and the ones that do come along have a better relationship to it, because they are happy to see the tenant in the property and are more comfortable,” Stehr says.

While some tenants are uneasy at the thought of an owner inspecting their property or having photos taken, Tamara Wrigley from First National Carolans says it should be seen as an opportunity to show their landlord how well they are maintaining the home. She says with more and more owners now living interstate or overseas, a landlord should never

It’s becoming more apparent that landlords now understand most tenants look after the property as if it is their own wn Tamara Wrigley “The landlord of 10 years ago would have said, “‘I’m never tenanting, I’ve seen the stories on TV’,” Stehr says. “But if you actually get out there and learn about the dynamics of tenants these days you’ll see that’s not the case.”

Many couples and families are now choosing to rent for professional or lifestyle reasons, which means there is a greater pool of high-quality tenants for property managers to choose from.

“Today, a lot of people move here for a change of lifestyle and own property elsewhere, so as a landlord you’re actually dealing with a fellow property owner” rather than a stereotypical renter, Stehr says.

She encourages her landlords to take interest in [ 50 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ FE B RUARY 21, 2 0 1 4

50.indd 1

be surprised at the state of their investment.

“If [property managers] are honest and up front with a landlord, and send pictures every three months, there should never be a problem,” Wrigley says. “Tenants have a lot of pride in their homes, and it’s a chance to say to your landlord, ‘Here’s how well I am looking after your property, and here’s the photos to prove that’.

“It’s becoming more apparent that landlords now understand most tenants look after the property as if it is their own.”

Good communication also means the property can be maintained in optimum condition. Stehr says from her experience, only around 10 per cent of tenants feel comfortable telling an owner

straight away if there’s an issue, whereas the remaining 90 per cent leave it “because they don’t want to bother the owner”.

“But as an owner, it’s far better to know that something’s gone wrong,” she says.

Landlords whose property managers have developed a good relationship with their tenant are more likely to hear about small problems, which can be dealt with before they become big ones – for example, a leaky tap can be f xed before it causes a huge water bill.

Wrigley agrees that even though rental vacancy rates are extremely tight, owners need to be diligent in maintaining their properties.

“Tenants are, at the moment, paying top dollar,” she says. “The property should be of a standard that matches that rent. I also recommend that owners have a maintenance plan in their budget, say over a three-year period.”

This can involve major updates or simple things like keeping driveways and paths clean. “Making sure your property doesn’t look like a rental, but a good-quality home,” Wrigley says. “That way, when M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

18/02/2014 12:34:58 PM

it does come up for rent you can get top rent for it, because it doesn’t look tired.”

Speaking of top rent, Stehr says some landlords can be quick to request rent increases without considering the quality of their tenants. If an increase seems unjustif ed a tenant may consider moving, and though there is no shortage of good tenants to replace them, landlords should see value in maintaining long-term tenancies.

“If they’re receptive to the value of their property then they’ll keep a good tenant,” she says.

On the other hand, Wrigley says that landlords’ cost of living is constantly increasing and tenants need to acknowledge that.

that,” she tells MPP. “Most tenants know that and have the expectation that at some point the rent will go up.”

She says a 12-month lease (rather than the six-month option) gives the landlord the security of a long-term tenancy and also offers the tenant some f nancial stability. At the end of that period, a landlord can reassess their f nancial position.

“Also, if you’re moving people in and out e very six months that’s where the wear on your property comes from,” she says. “Whereas if you have a tenant who moves in and stays for years – less wear.”

LIFE’S A BEACH Beachfront property owners looking to follow Lindsay Fox’s example to snag themselves some extra land should take note: the trucking magnate’s December attempt to extend one of his Victorian beachfront properties may be short-lived.

On Christmas Eve the state’s land titles off ce extended Fox’s Portsea property boundary to include an extra 45 metres of prime beach land, reportedly worth an estimated $5 million. The decision involved a new legal interpretation of the high water mark on an old land title, but Victorian Premier Denis Napthine says the government is now looking at passing new laws to clarify such land title boundaries, to prevent a f ood of similar beach land grabs.

“Beaches fundamentally should be for the public,” Napthine told AAP. “We will be examining the total issue of how titles operate, and some of these old titles being perhaps put into a more modern format that provides greater certainty and security.”

Planning minister Matthew Guy says the new laws will likely look at def ning the high-water mark at the time of purchase, or by a certain date.

NEW DEVELOPMENT

MORE TO LOVE ABOUT BELLS REACH

S

tockland has unveiled a new village at its Bells Reach residential community in Caloundra with home sites close to natural parkland and prices starting from $202,000.

The boutique village, Arbour at Bells Reach, is the latest land release at the popular community. It is located off Bellvista Boulevard and is surrounded by natural bushland and conservation areas, adjacent to Lamerough Creek.

Home sites in the initial release range from 350 to 595 square metres. A selection of house and land packages is also available. A new 8500-square metre community park in the Arbour village – the third major park at Bells Reach – is also expected to be completed before the end of 2014.

Stockland Sunshine Coast regional manager Ben Simpson says the new village is at the gateway to the future Caloundra South project.

“Arbour is a secluded enclave set

Sneaky Sound System will headline the off cial launch event for Stockland’s Arbour at Bells Reach precinct on March 1.

among native trees,” Simpson says.

It is close to beautiful waterways and natural bushland, with views to the Glass House Mountains.

“However, residents will be just minutes away from the Caloundra CBD, Stockland Caloundra, the future Oceanside Kawana Town Centre and a choice of beaches.

Residents of Arbour will also benef t from Bells Reach amenities, the Blue Park and the Pod Café and Unity College, all of which are a short stroll away.”

Arbour at Bells Reach has walkways and bikeways and a large

park featuring arbour structures, stylish seating and a landscaped playground.

Simpson believes Arbour will appeal to upgraders and families.

He says the village, which will have its own entry statement, adds to the already impressive offerings available at Bells Reach. “We are expecting the f rst home residents of Arbour will be building their homes and moving in during the second half of the year.”

Bells Reach was launched in January 2012 and has set a benchmark for affordable living with its terrace-style homes and range of new home sites. The community is popular with f rst-home buyers, as well as upgraders, families and people looking to downsize.

Last year, the community won awards for its terrace-style homes, The Bower Series, and its spectacular Blue Park. The Bower Series at Bells Reach was named winner of the Affordable Housing category in the 2013 UDIA Queensland Awards for Excellence. Meanwhile, the company behind the hugely popular Bells Reach Blue Park, Eureka Landscapes, won Best Landscape Feature in the Landscape Queensland Construction Excellence Awards.

An innovative new home-off ce series of residences has also been released at Bells Reach, offering homes with approval for business use on the ground f oor and designed to make working from home possible for more business owners.

• Elevated position means no flooding, with block sizes from 540m2 to over 900m2

SCATTERWORD

TAURUS [Apr 21-May 21] Personable planets at the peak of your chart encourage self-promotion. Bosses love your work but colleagues may resent your rise to the top.

As fellow Taurean Liberace said when asked if criticism hurt, “Oh yes, the other day I cried all the way to the bank”.

GEMINI [May 22-Jun 21] You teach what you need to learn. Lecturing others on a variety of issues is both cathartic and enlightening.

Mercury warns that fact-checking is critical to success. Ignore the thought bubbles and focus on evidence-based details.

CANCER [Jun 22-Jul 23] Sweet words of praise slip from the tongue. You find flattery goes a long way towards getting what you want, but you stop short of outright manipulation.

Mercury the communicator suggests your message is less important than the delivery.

LEO [Jul 24-Aug 23] Closing your eyes won’t stop the train wreck. Vigilant Mercury puts you on red alert and pushes prevention over cure. Burying your head in the sand is no longer an option but thankfully hostile situations are short lived.

VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23] Mastering the basics is simple for pragmatic Virgo. You are aided and abetted by Venus early in the week. Meantime, a blast from the past stirs up long-suppressed sentiment.

You acknowledge these feelings then file them away for future reflection.

LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23] The perfect position or partner eludes you. Your options are to settle for second best or change your criteria. Allow the universe to unlock doors and be prepared to step through. Dig a little deeper and you will find true beauty beneath the layers.

SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22] A sombre nod from Saturn pulls you back into line. Idealistic visions need to be balanced by a level-headed approach.

An objective approach is critical to eventual success. To quote Scorpio writer Anais Nin: “We don’t see things as they are. We see them as we are”.

SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21] You read more into a situation than actually exists. Elusive solar energy sets you up for failure if you guess rather than dissect possible outcomes.

An adversary is one step ahead and catching up requires clever detective work on your part.

CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20] Your best qualities are initiative and imagination. Sun in the mercurial zone fans the flames of an idea and tutors you in the art of multi-tasking. There is a buzz around your home or office that stirs the collective conscience and speeds up successful outcomes.

AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19] Power is at a premium, so you pace yourself. Projects are handpicked and your exclusive circle of friends narrows even further. Supremacy over others is not your goal this week, although a spark of dominance emerges when someone questions your opinions.

PISCES [Feb 20-Mar 20] This week’s panorama widens to include unfamiliar territory.

Your greatest wish is to solve the problems of others but forces work against practical outcomes. Your soft spot for the underdog is admirable but good intentions alone are not enough.

ARIES [Mar 21-Apr 20] Madcap energy from Mercury prevents people from filtering their words. You can tune out cutting remarks or take offence.

Ruling Mars suggests a sense of humour is your saviour, provided you laugh at yourself as well as others. A thick skin takes the sting out of criticism.

SURF REPORT with MWPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man in the water

As I sit in the massive hot pool in Canada I am left to wonder who is left back home as half the Sunshine Coast seems to be here! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to the surf report in a sec but f rst the snow report.

Nothing but powder everywhere. It is like scoring f ve-foot perfection with offshore conditions all day. You get the picture. Now for the surf report: Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bad news. More of the same. Yes, really! Go hire some stand-ups from Beachbeat or Ocean Addicts. Just do something to stop going insane! Me? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m riding powder at every turn. Now, whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my red wine! See you ladies later! Yeeewwwwww.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

What a fantastic week we have had for all types of f shing! A long-awaited boost with weather and f sh co-operating together!

ESTUARY: Find quality whiting throughout river systems on cured worms or small, clear poppers, which are working a treat. Mangrove jack are lurking, ready to attack from any overhang or snag area. Flathead are still around and are a decent size caught mostly on plastics with a curly or split tail creating most interest.

SURF: Sizable tailor are being caught along the beaches for the hardy few f shing into the evening.

OFFSHORE: The mackerel are on!!! There are great sizes mixed in with yellow f n tuna and wahoo. The Blinker and out around the Twelve Mile are proving popular, but most reports have good catches throughout the area. Any type of deep-diving lure is the go.

FRESHWATER: The upper reaches of the Coast rivers are all producing quality bass.

Boondooma Dam is a great place for both seasoned anglers and beginners with bass, golden perch and red claw on offer using both baits and deep diving lures.
