Tender touch needed for Kangaroo Point walkway attractiveness of the “repeatedly graffittied and dirty walkway.”

“I was inspired by a wonderfully successful graffiti art program in Perth, run by the Western Australian division of the Red Cross,” Ms Vickery said.

A rubbished and run-down walkway could be transformed if a proposal to clean up the much-used path in Kangaroo Point gets the green light.

The community project, to upgrade the walkway by cleaning it and add murals on it through a BCC community arts program, was suggested through the Gabba Ward’s discretionary community budgeting system.

Her idea seems to have substantial community support, with 45 votes in favour of funding the project.

“If you theme the murals right and get the community to choose their most preferred theme, I think it would improve the appearance of this much-used area and enhance the creativity of young people within this community,” Ms Vickery said.

Brisbane’s king-of-the-court handballers are invited to compete at the Bouncing Back Handball Festival this month on October 16.

Entrance is free to the Brisbane Powerhouse event, with competitive one-on-one or social foursquare games available for play.

“This year we’re introducing more casual foursquare games, so that if you don’t want to play competitively you aren’t forced to,” said organiser Charla Strelan.

A bouncing castle, Scouts, facepainting, craft activities and music will also be running for the less handball-inclined.

Attendees are encouraged to dressup, with prizes for best-dressed.

This year the Handball Festival is raising awareness for Mental Health Week, with information on managing mental health available at the event.

“What we like to do with kids is get a good message across about how to promote good health, like exercise, friendship and identifying feelings,” said Charla.

ICB upgrade could raid Victoria Park

Fair-weather friends, jilted lovers or … Greens? village comment MIKE O’CONNOR

BY TIMOTHY SWANSTON

Dr Joan Jacobi is seriously concerned about the proposed widening of the ICB encroaching into important land at Victoria Park, such as York’s Hollow (pictured).

Residents have voiced their outrage at Council’s proposal to widen the Inner City Bypass (ICB) with concerns it will cut into Victoria Park, described as “the lungs of the city”.

The $80 million project was announced earlier in the year, with works expected to start before Christmas after the procurement process for design and construction is completed in coming months.

Dr Joan Jacobi, a resident of Spring Hill, is a vocal opponent of the proposed widening of the ICB as she says it is likely it will cut into the much-treasured Victoria Park.

“Public parkland is not sacrificial, free land to be used as a convenient way of solving an engineering problem,” Dr Jacobi said.

“In the inner-city’s wellbeing, this heritage parkland’s contribution has become more important as the density of surrounding suburbs has trebled in the last couple of years,” she said.

NEWS

A design for the widening of the ICB is yet to be completed but Dr Jacobi understands the tree-scape across the northern side of the ICB in Herston will be demolished.

“We estimate that the area of parkland and canopy loss involved would be at least 5000 square metres.”

Following the construction of the ICB, approximately 18 hectares of green space was heritage listed to protect and preserve the inner-city park.

At present, Victoria Park spans less than 18 hectares, notwithstanding Council’s proposal to replace more parkland with a wider ICB. Dr Jacobi fears the expansion could impact York’s Hollow, a picturesque area of parkland and an important cultural site for the Turrbal people, where many of their ceremonies were held.

“In my view, the heritage listing should be binding and the park must be protected forever,” Dr Jacobi said.  continued on page 13

One of the ironies of the success of the Newstead Gasworks precinct is that those who financed the developers will now turn against them.

The residents who are now moving into the high-rise blocks and whose money ensured that more would be built are now joining the ranks of those who oppose further development.

They have achieved what they regard as the perfect balance between amenity and location and would be happy if any further development halted tomorrow.

It means, inevitably, the further “greening” of the electorate as more development applications are lodged, developments which these new arrivals may perceive as adversely affecting their new found lifestyle.

The issue became evident last month when residents of the luxury Pier apartments at Newstead accused developer Mirvac of a change in

development plans that would block their city views.

They have lodged objections against the proposals, claiming that the scale of the project is greater than was previously revealed.

The proposal is for 283 apartments in 14-storey and 25-storey towers on a four-storey podium.

Residents claim that when they bought into Pier, the masterplan showed one tower and parkland.

Mirvac head of residential development John Carfi has acknowledged the changes.

“We don’t believe it is a significant departure from what was always going to happen on that site,” he has said.

The proposals are with Council.

This poses an interesting conundrum for politicians and developers who are closely watching the controversy surrounding the West Village development at West End. The Council approved seven 15-storey towers but the State Government has revoked that approval and is reassessing it.

It is no coincidence that this follows a sharp increase in the Greens’ vote in the area, which includes the seat of Deputy Premier, Jackie Trad.

We live in interesting times.

Space the final frontier for college boss

BY MIKE O’CONNOR

Pic Tim Swanston

After 18 months in the job, Dr Michael Carroll, principal of St Joseph’s College Gregory Terrace, is familiar with the concept of space.

“The biggest thing for me in terms of challenges is space,” he says when we meet in his office.

“The restrictions of this site are always a challenge.

“All of the schools around here – Brisbane Girls Grammar, Brisbane Boys Grammar, St James, Brisbane Central State School – all of us contend with different issues around inner-city living.

“We’re part of this community so trying to get that balance is the thing.

“We’ve got a business to run and we have 1500 boys here but we also live in suburbia so how do you peacefully co-exist?

“I think it’s really important that we can. There’ll always be neighbours and some conflict and difference of opinions with 1500 boys arriving here or 1500 parents.

Dr Michael Carroll

“The calmness of the place is sometimes affected when there are activities,” he says.

Dr Carroll believes the school has now reached the limit of its expansion.

“In terms of numbers, more doesn’t mean better.

“When Year 7 went into secondary school, there was a spike.

“When Terrace bought the old RACQ building in Water Street, Spring Hill, and converted that to our Year 10 area, and that was 10 years ago, that took some boys off this campus.

“There’s about 230 boys down there so that freed up a bit of space.’’

He concedes that further property acquisitions would not be well received in some quarters.

“There would always be opposition if we bought up more property around here.

“The biggest challenge in terms of our purchasing property around here is the cost.

“The other building on Water Street we purchased earlier this year was an office, a commercial building and we’ve

used it to house our non-educational facilities like the uniform shop.

“In terms of growth of student numbers, the physical restrictions are there.

“Fifteen hundred or so in a school like ours is, I think, not a bad number.

“Even if we had twice as much space, and the community doesn’t want that, I wouldn’t be advocating greater numbers.

“We haven’t had to run split lunch times so far and l know that some schools now have to do that,” he says.

He lists access to sporting fields as another challenge.

“We use a little bit of Victoria Park for some training but essentially we use our facilities at Tennyson. This afternoon, there’ll be eight buses going out there.

“I appreciate residents being worried about the green space in Victoria Park.

NEWS “We’ve got a couple of leases in Victoria Park and have had for a long time.

“There’re four tennis courts there and down the bottom there’re cricket net facilities.

“We’ve actually lost a bit of leased space over the years with road works but I don’t think the Council would be too keen to surrender more land.

“We’re very fortunate and happy to have that space.

“We don’t lock our tennis courts and the cricket practice nets are permanently open and local people do come and use them,” he says.

“Traffic is another challenge. There’s always a safety issue at road crossings and at pick-up and drop-off points.

“It’s a matter of working with our neighbours. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, there’s a lot of cars here and parent traffic is a big safety issue.’’

Dr Carroll does not believe the newly released draft Spring Hill Neighborhood Plan will affect the school.

“Our building committee has been liaising with Council and is fairly well informed.

“Will it impact on us? The draft report says no.

“There are building restrictions and we have to work with those but there wouldn’t be too many schools that

don’t have some sort of guidelines they have to stick to.

“The isolation of the heritage buildings as opposed to the whole site being heritage listed makes life a bit simpler.

“To me it’s less of an issue than the lack of space,” he says.

A mathematics and science teacher at Terrace in the 1980s, it’s no coincidence that Dr Carroll now finds himself sitting in the principal’s office.

“This is the place where I was hoping to have the opportunity to be,” he says.

“There are boys whom I taught who are now parents and have boys at the school. That was a nice surprise.

“It’s a great community. They are good boys and young men.

“They’re also normal boys and they make the odd mistake but they are respectful and proud of their school and they work hard.

“The culture of learning here is extraordinary.

“It’s an academic and moral journey and you can’t say that once they walk out the gate, they’re no longer our responsibility.

“We’ve got a role, the boys have got a role and their families have got a role.

“The pressure on young people now is a challenge and it’s all about managing that,” he says.

Lunch talks up local economy

BY JAMES JESSUP Recently opened “The Johnson” hotel hosted the Valley Chamber of Commerce local engagement lunch for Spring Hill.

Organiser Tony Gleeson said the event allowed community members and local business leaders to work together through the rapid changes in Spring Hill.

“These events are allowing people to have their say on the areas that are changing and growing, so that the community and the local businesses can work together through the rapid change,” Mr Gleeson said. “[They] are more specifically targeted towards the discussion

about a particular zone or activity,” he said.

The Johnson provided the perfect space for the lunch as it is a new keyplayer in the Spring Hill economy.

“The Johnson now provides a focal point of the renewal of Spring Hill with the added element of respect for the heritage of the area,” Mr Gleeson said.

The group is also looking to host events within the suburbs of Bowen Hills, Fortitude Valley, Herston, New Farm, Newstead and Teneriffe.

The events themselves arise organically as a result of consultation with the local community and businesses.

“Each event occurs after consultation with the people who are most interested in and are stakeholders of the area,” Mr Gleeson said.

The next event will be focused on events and local culture and is soon to be announced.  See social photos on page 24

The Valley Chamber of Commerce Inc, held their AGM recently... and the board is confirmed as President Murry Sutherland, Vice President Amanda Cooper, Dai Gwynne-Jones, Gavin McInnes, Katherine Patel, Sean Ryan, Maree Edwards, Robin Maini, Paul Dwyer and Ray Brownhill.

Save the heritage buildings (again) As a local resident of Teneriffe for nearly 10 years I wanted to write to you to highlight the possible imminent approval to demolish rare heritage buildings on the Riverside Marine site at 17 Skyring Terrace.

An urgent application has been made by the Body Corporate of Woolstore apartments W4 to both the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council to protect under heritage listings the last remaining original buildings.

This well-known landmark at Teneriffe’s busiest intersection were constructed in 1914 and later provided a canteen and facilities

for workers at Vacuum Oil, the site’s original industrial occupant.

Vacuum Oil, which later became Caltex, is credited with introducing the first unleaded gasoline to Queensland and supplying products used by Charles Kingsford Smith for his record air flights.

A heritage report commissioned by local residents lays out compelling information as to the building’s historical value, demonstrating that six of the eight cultural heritage criteria set out by both State and Council heritage registers are met.

Despite the strong case made for protection, Brisbane City Council has indicated that it is unlikely to consider the application.

Several years ago, the Council removed a previous heritage listing on request of the owners, and hope now lies that the State Register team will intervene to save the remaining buildings.

Time is running out, with the Council to make a decision soon on a planning application to build a high-rise apartment, hotel and retail premises on the site.

If permitted these significant unique buildings will be demolished.

As a passionate local resident, I

believe Teneriffe is unique and needs to be protected.

If the community agrees with me and does not want to see a further piece of Teneriffe’s heritage forever lost I urge and encourage you to lodge your concerns via Brisbane City Council’s website reference AOO4206778 or email the State Heritage team at: PaLM@ehp.qld.gov.au Amy Frank for W4 Body Corporate committee

Human and other charms Oh the unique character of the “Peninsular Club” as aptly dubbed by Mike O’Connor in the latest Village News!! Two recent heart-warming scenes in New Farm reminded me why we were drawn back here, this time to stay!

A lovely elderly gentleman seems to make his way down Brunswick St using his walker every day, finds a spot around the shopping village and happily has a cigarette and greets passers-by before he heads home back up the hill.

One day he bypassed the regulated crossing by a couple of metres causing quite a build-up of traffic _ no beeping horns, angry gestures or words but patient smiling drivers as they waited and understanding smiles on faces of onlookers just so lovely to see!

Another day a smiling elderly gentleman struggled with a walking stick across the crossing while grappling with a huge bunch of flowers and needlessly hoping his thoughtfulness would render him popular with his lady!

Such warm human snapshots are indicative of the underlying village atmosphere and human warmth of this very unique inner city enclave.

Denise Howard New Farm

Don’t park space problem It is very pleasing to find that Cr Vicki Howard is looking into the problem of finding a parking spot in the area around Heal, Annie and James Streets in New Farm.

NEWS Because of the number of driveways opening on to these streets, parking spaces are severely limited.

Vehicles whose drivers DO manage to find a safe spot are parked like sardines in a tin.

As a weekly visitor to this area, I find it almost impossible to find a safe parking space and usually end up in New Farm Park, which is a very pleasant spot but some distance away from the streets mentioned.

It is an interesting and pleasant walk, but can be taxing when one has several items to carry.

I am, however, impressed with the courtesy and patience of motorists in this area.

Perhaps they are used to people like myself driving very slowly in their attempt to spy a parking spot!

I wish Cr Howard every success in her efforts to address this problem.

This is going to be a challenge, as space is at a premium in this very busy locality, but wonders never cease and hopefully she will find a solution.

Mactaggarts forced to back-track on fence

BY DASH COOK Mactaggarts Place body corporate is being forced to submit retrospective plans to the Queensland Government for a fence it has already built outside the historic building.

Following an approach by the Brisbane City Council, officers from the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP), recently visited the Mactaggarts building, which is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.

The body corporate has now been told it needs to apply for a Heritage Exemption Certificate or development approval for the fence.

But opponents of the fence are concerned the move could be a rubber stamp.

“Retrospective exemption certificates are the thin end of the

wedge, the start of the end,” said Teneriffe Progress Association (TPA) president Ben Pritchard.

“If you let people get away with it then everyone else will assume they can do whatever they want to do, and then apply for a retrospective exemption.

“If an exemption certificate is granted the Teneriffe Progress Association will, if given the opportunity, object in the strongest possible terms,” Mr Pritchard said.

A spokesperson for the EHP told the Village News that “EHP officers visited the site, which is the subject of a complaint alleging unapproved works in the form of the construction of a new fence on the site”.

“Following an assessment of the property and earlier Brisbane City Council-approved plans for the development, EHP formed a belief that the fence constituted an unapproved development of a place on the Queensland Heritage Register, contravening the Sustainable Planning Act 2009,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

“The fence in question is not attached to the heritage-listed building and does not compromise the building’s physical appearance.

“EHP has requested the relevant body corporate seek appropriate approvals for the fence by applying

for an exemption certificate or development approval under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992.”

After a controversial vote in May, the Mactaggarts body corporate erected a steel fence, blocking public access from Vernon Tce to the river and parkland.

A spokesperson for Archers body corporate management firm, which manages administration on behalf of the Mactaggarts body corporate owners, said: “We understand the Mactaggart’s Place Body Corporate Committee is working closely with the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection to address this issue.”

The Lord Mayor, Cr Graham Quirk, said in a letter to the TPA in August that the Council had approached the Department of Environment and Heritage, asking them to investigate if they had any powers to intervene.

Cr Quirk said he had also written to the Mactaggarts Body Corporate asking them to reconsider their decision to erect the fence in this location, and had recently received a response saying they would not do so.

Mr Pritchard said a GoFundMe Facebook page set up by the TPA to fight the fence demonstrated how strongly people felt about it. gofundme.com/2ge9hbpw

Planning So Residents Can Retire As people age I think it’s vital they should be able to stay in the community they are familiar with; close to where their friends are, near to their favourite shopping precincts, and their established medical carers.

That’s why the Lord Mayor and I recently announced a new policy to encourage more Aged Care accommodation in our inner suburbs, so that our ageing population in the inner city can retire in the local area they love - without having to move away to the outer suburbs.

Central Ward’s inner suburbs provide great housing options for younger residents and families, and we are looking to provide more accommodation options for our older residents.

I want to keep Central Ward a diverse place where the young, and the not-so-young, continue to enrich our community, so if you would like more information about how we are encouraging new buildings for aged care living please let me know.

New director, new family, and all in New Farm

BY JAMES JESSUP The new artistic director of Queensland Theatre, Sam Strong, is now a proud resident of New Farm, which he says is perfect as a base for both his young family and his artistic ambitions for Queensland.

After moving from Melbourne for the job, Sam and his wife Katherine lived in West End for six months to see which parts of Brisbane he wanted to live in then ultimately decided that New Farm was an ideal place for a young family.

“As the parent of a toddler, New Farm was the very obvious choice,” he said.

“Our child loves New Farm Park … he can just spend hours there on any given day.

“We managed to rent ourselves a house that is the rental equivalent of a mullet – it looks like it belongs in Melbourne at the front, but very much belongs in Queensland at the back because it has a nice veranda,” he said.

“It’s business at the front but party at the back.”

Although they are new to the suburb, Sam and Katherine have stumbled on some of New Farm’s best local cafes.

“We’re still having fun exploring all that the suburb has to offer but

currently Little Loco and Pablo are the cafes of choice,” he said.

“We’re also enjoying the New Farm Deli.

Professionally, Sam has just announced the re-brand of “Queensland Theatre Company” to “Queensland Theatre” along with launching his inaugural Queensland Theatre season program which promises a line-up of local talent which he hopes to showcase around the nation.

“I think there’s a possibility for Queensland Theatre to take a national view that no one else is taking,” he said.

“The southern states tend to get a little bit too concerned about themselves.”

He said the new season provided a chance to nurture the local industry and to engage a national audience.

Having spent six months meeting independently with Queensland artists and understanding its audiences, Sam said there was a “generosity of approach in Queensland audiences that makes it the best place to work in the country”.

With all that work to do, we asked Sam where he would most likely be when he wasn’t doing Queensland Theatre business.

“You’re most likely to find me with Henry exploring the amazing playground at New Farm Park.

Accessibility the goal for fresh MP

BY TIMOTHY SWANSTON

Newly elected MP for Brisbane Trevor Evans is finding his feet both in Canberra and in his new office in Newstead.

Evans said that he’d tried his best to ensure he was accessible to locals, the first MP in many years to locate himself on the Peninsula.

“I spent a lot of time through the campaign thinking about the style of representation that I wanted to provide – the ideas I had of visibility, accessibility, thoughtfulness and responsiveness are a big part of what I want to do,” Mr Evans said.

“As a consequence of that, even though I’m very new, with a new office, some new faces, and a new team, I’ve already got a lot going on by way of enquiries and concerns from constituents,” he said.

Evans gave his maiden speech in parliament on September 14, highlighting his substantive

Trevor Evans with his office manager Penny Williams knowledge of the small-business sector and the impact of government regulation on economic activity.

“It’s definitely a theme of where I’ve come from – the big challenge with a maiden speech is that you have 20 minutes to define yourself and your relevance,” Mr Evans said.

“I felt like I had something to say about it because I’ve come from both small business and the regulator – I’ve seen it from both sides and I thought I’d give a top-three list of things to do in that space.”

Proving his salt on economic knowledge, he has already been appointed to the standing committee on economics, a group that inquires and writes reports on Bills, motions and other financial matters.

“I’m not shy about getting out there. I know it’s long hours but it’s not cumbersome to me, I really love it,” Mr Evans said.

Trevor Evans MP can be found at 5 Kyabra Street, Newstead when he’s not in Canberra or one of his mobile offices being launched shortly.

Footprints Launch Community service for homelessness and disability, Footprints, has moved from Teneriffe to Fortitude Valley and will host a launch party for its new building on Light Street early next month.

The launch will showcase the new building’s facilities to community members and stakeholders, along with provide a night of entertainment for all those in attendance.

Footprints CEO, Cherylee Treloar, said that the time was right for the move given the expanding neighbourhood and the community recognition of their work.

“It was not a difficult decision to make,” Ms Treloar said.

“We felt a mandate to ensure that as the neighbourhood continues to grow and change, we offer equity of access for all people living inner city to services that improve their lives.”

The Footprints goal is to support their clients and empower them to make their own decisions and live their lives as independently as they choose.

One service that Footprints offers is an Art Therapy group, which will be

hosting their Annual Art Exhibition and Silent Auction at its Proe Street Centre on 6 October, which all members of the community are welcome to attend.

Footprints is also looking for a new volunteer board member to join their team and fill the role of treasurer.

They are looking for somebody with at least four years of experience as a CFO or SFA, corporate governance experience, and a strong desire to make a real community contribution.

Commonwealth Bank evolves branch network with upgrade of Fortitude Valley branch Commonwealth Bank has opened a new branch in the Fortitude Valley, further evolving Australia’s largest proprietary branch network.

This branch relocated from its original site to its new home in the James Street Precinct, 100 McLachlan Street. The branch is one of the Bank’s new-style stores, which offers a range of services and features that make it easier for our customers to bank when and how it is convenient for them.

The relocation and revamp of the Fortitude Valley branch is part of a $10million upgrade of bank branches in Queensland over the past 12 months. It has been designed to provide customers with a better banking experience, through easier, faster and simpler branch services. New features of the branch include technology such as instant deposit ATMs, coin count machines, NetBank terminals, Free WiFi and video conferencing options to connect customers to specialists who are not in branch.

Nicholas Paton, Brisbane City Area Manager, believes the upgraded branch will provide an improved and interactive banking environment for Fortitude Valley local residents and businesses.

“The Bank’s investment in the Fortitude Valley is a great example of how we are continuing to update our branch network and shows we are dedicated to making banking simpler, easier and more accessible for the local community. We knew the importance of investing in this area and we look forward to working closely with our customers to deliver a more personalised customer experience,” Nicholas said.

“We are committed to offering our customers the best

Importantly, a number of these services are available outside of standard business hours, including weekends, something that has been particularly welcomed by small businesses who don’t have to close their business or send a staff member to do banking during business hours.

METROPOLITAN MOTOR INN

If the walls could talk The Metropolitan Motor Inn is no ordinary stay for guests.

It was the first motel built in Brisbane, a five-star inn where the restaurant was filled with high ranking politicians and a grand piano that was played from dusk until dawn.

The Metropolitan Motor Inn has been renovated and upgraded to perfection appearing like a whole new place but manager Pamela Warmington has made sure that they kept a piece of the history to celebrate the buidling’s past.

As you walk through reception and make your way to the restaurant, keep a look out for the old photos of each era up on the walls and the stamped marble that was imported from England and has stayed intact.

“Instead of getting rid of everything, we’ve tried to keep that one link to the past, so every room still has a piece of the old marble in the basins, the reception desk and the restaurant bar are both topped with that same marble” she said.

A new rustic look has taken over the restaurant and bar with also 55 newly renovated rooms, a bridal suite and the conference rooms to keep guests even happier.

“The restaurant looks brand-new and the rooms have had a complete overhaul with new bathrooms except for the marble.

“There’s new carpet, new furniture and new paint so they’re going into a whole new room!”

Restaurant 106 is affordable to most with their $10 lunch menus and a three-course dinner for $24.

The Motor Inn welcomes families giving children a colouring-in menu for their entertainment.

The Metropolitan Motor Inn has been welcoming guests for more than 40 years and staff members are loyal too, with one celebrating their 30th year of service next year.

They have seen family reunions, engagements, weddings, birthday functions and have love stories to share.

“We had a gentlemen come a couple of weeks ago whose wife had passed away and he came back to stay because he met his wife in this restaurant. She worked here and he wanted to have a walk down memory lane. It was such a beautiful thing,” Pam said.

Remarkable people senior voice TONY TOWNSEND In past months I have drawn attention to the remarkable contributions some National Seniors members and their helpers are making to communities here and abroad.

This month I would like to single out Grandparents Day which is celebrated on the last Sunday of this month in Queensland.

Grandparents are a wonderful group of people, supporting their families with love, their experience, and as role models, in some cases solely responsible for bringing up their grandchildren.

There are some who are denied any relationship with the younger generation but grandparents’ unstinting love remains an inspiration to us all and Grandparents Day a time for celebrating with all the family.

Another group promotes positive ageing by rewarding the media for positive coverage of older people and their issues at an annual Awards Ceremony, this year on October 17.

The Branch looks forward to making many new friends at our wine and cheese extravaganza on Wednesday October 5, while plans for the remainder of the month include: • Thursdays from 10am: Learn Mahjong (Eastern style) at Café 63.

• Wednesday October 19: Communify bus excursion.

• Friday October 21 from 9am: “Stitch and Bitch” meeting in New Farm Library.

• Friday October 21 from 6pm: Dinner at Karma Indian and Nepalese restaurant in Brunswick Street when we particularly welcome those interested in National Seniors who cannot attend day-time activities.

• Wednesday November2 from 9.15am: General Meeting at the Uniting Church complex in Merthyr Road when Sophie Douglas from Vision Australia will speak to us.

Lunch at Miss Claude’s Crepery following the meeting.

New Farm’s newest centenarian Reaching your century is a landmark and it’s one that staff and residents at RSL Care Treetops at New Farm have plenty of practice celebrating.

Ruby Perry celebrated her 100th birthday there on September 16, marking the occasion with a courtyard party with family and fellow residents, a chocolate cake and a serenade by staff.

Ruby is the fourth current Treetops resident to join the elite ranks of centenarians – the eldest of the group, Elma Tadman, 103, was among those sharing the fun at last week’s party.

“Enjoy the day,” was Elma’s advice for her friend after she presented her with a card.

A healthy dose of chocolate is also part of her prescription for happiness after 100 and she’s been known to hand them out at breakfast time.

She said she would like to see any widening contained to the transport corridor that already existed, encompassing the land used for the railway to the south of the ICB. A spokesperson for Council confirmed to Village News that extensive work had been undertaken to minimise the impact to parkland but the ICB upgrade was a “vital upgrade” to prevent traffic grinding to a halt.

“Residents had their chance to provide their feedback during the election as this was a key infrastructure commitment made by the Lord Mayor,” they said.

“The ICB is already operating at up to 90 per cent of full capacity with delays of 10-15 minutes in the morning peak at the exit to Herston Road.

“Congestion will only continue to worsen if we don’t take action now.”

New Farm Chiropractic utilises the Gonstead System of Chiropractic, a hands-on approach to preventative and restorative health care. We offer 7-day Remedial Massage, and have HICAPS for your convenience.

Ruby was born in 1916 at Toowoomba and remembers walking about an hour to school with her siblings.

Later, she lived at Spring Hill and worked in her mother’s mixed business store, where she caught the eye of a young customer, Len Perry.

The pair married in 1936 and raised five children.

Dennis Da Rin established the independent practice in 1986.The business, which started with Dennis and one employee, has expanded into 20 employees and four stores.

Dennis was a 23 year old university graduate looking to open his own practice in New Farm. His dream came true when the local barber Fernando Antonelli recommended him to Alf Sorbello who gave him a chance and leased him a small shop in Brunswick Street.

Dennis has always had a love of optics with a strong link to spectacle manufacturing in Italy.

“My parents came from a valley in northern Italy which has many spectacle manufacturers”, Dennis said. “It was a cottage industry where your Nonna and often the kids after school were in the garage making glasses.

Attention to detail, good customer service as well as quality eye care has set Da Rin Optometrist apart with the business being built around the idea to help people.

“We like to build a strong relationship with our clients; we know about their work, their families and

friends and about their everyday lives” Manager, Ron Van Rooy said.

Utilising the latest in ophthalmic testing equipment, their dedicated optometrists are ready to look after you. They can diagnose and often treat, a large number of ocular conditions and have strong links with local ophthalmologists.

The optometrists are able to write optical prescriptions for spectacles and contact lenses, as well as medical prescriptions for a large number of ocular conditions including Glaucoma care.

“Our staff have been with us a long time totaling over 100 years of optical knowledge; they are all highly trained and have the same philosophy,” Dennis said.

He has based his business on customer care and quality eyewear, as he said, “we’re good at providing a full eye care service instead of just selling a pair of glasses.”

“We deal with the best suppliers that provide cutting edge technology.

For our spectacle lenses we use Essilor, a company that constantly releases innovative products like the EyeZen lenses for computer fatigue that was released this year.

Da Rin Optometrist is also known for supplying unique frames for their patients using leading fashion brands like Moscot or timeless classic designs like Chanel.

“I think we have developed a good reputation because we have this knack of being able to change a person’s look and give them glasses they love. Our clients come back year after year and like having that exclusivity.”

CONGRATULATIONS ...to Dennis and the team for 30 years of keeping the New Farm community “Looking and Seeing” fabulous!!

THE DERIGO TEAM would like to wish THE DA RIN TEAM

HAPPY

Voices from the Streets Over the past few months I have been wandering in and out of the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre in the hope of finding a useful role for myself which could tap into my background in education, broadcasting and freelance writing and editing.

I have long admired the support provided by workers and volunteers in assisting the homeless people living right here and now in our affluent community – women and men so easily forgotten or dismissed as bludgers who could change their lives if they really wanted to.

So here is Kate’s story – a classic case of an intelligent undereducated woman in need of a break.

A lively woman in her late 20s/ early 30s (I think: she was coy about giving her age!) Kate was very keen to acknowledge the help the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre has given her.

I expected to do a Q&A interview with her in the centre’s back garden, but from her bulging rucksack she produced this article that she wrote after our last encounter.

- Jill Lennon

After the grind, dream comes true

BY KATE My name is Kate and I’ve been living on the streets since December 6, 2014.

I remember the date clearly as I’d never been on the street before in my life and had little to do with anyone who had.

I also knew as a “Kiwi” I didn’t qualify for any financial assistance from Centrelink as the laws had changed in 2001, disqualifying New Zealanders from a benefit after that date and I’d arrived in Australia in 2005.

I arrived in Sydney and I was completely broke as I hadn’t worked for 18 months.

Sydney looked huge, loud, fast and terrifying so the idea of living skint and homeless in that city scared me as much as being dumped on the top of Mount Everest alone and being told to find my own way down.

However, Sydney “streeties” are a friendly bunch and after a while I was introduced to “coal biting” (begging) as a means of getting money for things like food, clothing, medical expenses etc.

I found myself doing quite well.

I also managed to pick up some

part-time work cleaning toilets in a school but unfortunately it wasn’t a permanent position so I only lasted a few weeks.

During this time, I met a “streetie” who was on his way up to Brisbane for fruit picking.

I decided to give it a go and came up just before Christmas but I wasn’t successful in picking up the work.

I felt disheartened. Then I was given a tip to go to the Community Centre in New Farm as they had a lot of interesting programs which could be helpful.

I arrived at the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre as we were going into winter.

I had already done two winters on the streets in Sydney and was not looking forward to my third so I was losing some of my positivity.

However, I found every time I left the Centre my mood was elevated and I was ready to face the rest of the day with a better attitude.

There is a genuine feeling of community there.

The staff are helpful. I can access a shower and wash my clothes.

There’s a kitchen and people in the area donate food, so often there’s soup or curry for lunch.

I’ve also been given donated clothes for winter. And I’ve been able to do yoga classes which I did regularly before living on the street.

The classes are taught by professional instructors and only cost me $2 a class.

Phil, a community worker there, also introduced me to Welfare Rights, an organisation that defends the rights of beneficiaries and they believe I should qualify for a one off six-month payment for Centrelink so we are processing this now.

Best of all, Meredith, the coffee lady, is teaching me to make coffee so I can get a job as a barista.

The coffee cart is sponsored by the Patrons of New Farm and for $1.50 extra customers can pay for a “forward coffee” which means someone at the Centre can have a good coffee for free.

Once Meredith feels I’m proficient at turning out great coffee consistently she’ll write me a reference to add to my CV, then I’ll start looking for a job.

Once I’m working I’ll be able to get accommodation and after two-and-ahalf years of living on the street it will be a dream come true.

Stronger, sturdier laneway

Dig deep to reveal true feelings of home

A popular pedestrian and bicycle linkage in Fortitude Valley has been strengthened, with Brisbane City Council completing upgrades to the Ivory Lane walkway.

Local Councillor Vicki Howard said the project had boosted the shared pathway’s structural integrity, ensuring it was a more durable structure for years to come.

“The Ivory Lane walkway structure was constructed in the late 1990s and was an elevated timber section of the shared pathway connecting Bowen Terrace and Ivory Lane via the Story Bridge underpass,” Cr Howard said.

“Council has undertaken the $2 million project to upgrade the linkage, which included the removal of the existing timber structure and installing a new durable fibre composite structure with concrete pile foundations and a new retaining wall.”

“The Ivory Lane pathway provides access to and from the Story Bridge, City Reach Boardwalk, Howard Smith Wharves and New Farm Park,” she said.

Hypnosis clinic moves Peninsula icon the Brisbane Hypnosis Clinic has settled into its new location at 884 Brunswick Street, across from the Merthyr Village after 18 years at James Street.

Clinical hypnotherapist Antoine Matarasso said the move was required as they were running out of room.

“We have four therapists working with us now so we really needed the extra space,” Mr Matarasso said.

“We’ve got quite a large clinic now with therapy rooms so it’s been a really good move.”

“We never used to have walk-ins but now we’ve had a couple per week.”

“We do a lot of work with people with anxiety and phobias,” Mr Matarasso said.

village view BETH J LEACH

I sat on a rooftop last night overlooking the neighbourhood formerly known as Kingsholme, within New Farm, sipping champagne and drinking in the sunset.

Looking out across the tin rooves and Edwardian chimneys I felt a real connection to New Farm’s past inhabitants.

To the Turrbal Aboriginal mob who lived on the land known as Binkin-ba, the notion of “land” is that the land owns the people. The people cannot own the land.

In that moment on the rooftop I felt alignment to this spiritual concept.

One of our best features is the character houses that line our streets, protected by the laws of the state from demolition and extreme alteration of their street appearance.

These houses will outlive us, so we are custodians.

Our local history is layered at every square metre by the traditional people, the penal colony, the convicts who filled in the low lands on the peninsula and planted crops, the pioneering families and early industry.

I’m selling a house at the moment that is situated next to what would have once been the lifeblood of the entire area, the Garnett’s Kingsholme Cash Store on James Street.

I love that fact. Just the same as I love the fact that the Macedonian Orthodox Church (formerly known as the Kingsholme Wesleyan Methodist Church) on the corner of James and Annie was hauled in its entirety by locals from its original location on the corner of Hawthorne and Browne, rolling it inch by inch on wooden logs, the church being pulled by horses to its final resting place today.

For me, knowing our history and digging deeper below the surface of our modern, busy lives, helps deepen my relationship with this place I call home.

FOOD

village food ANNABELLE CHAPPLE The Cazzolato children have really always held the reins at Angelo’s Pasta: from being the definitive taste testers of their father’s products in the 1970s, to coordinating everything from machine operations to social media at the company today.

Village News met up with one-time computer science professional and fourth eldest child, Donna Cazzolato, to learn her secret pasta cooking tips and how she balances business decisions with family dynamics.

Q

EXPLAIN HOW ANGELO’S PASTA CAME TO BE?

We say it started in 1968 but mum and dad really started using the first two machines that they brought back from Italy in 1965, so we’ve been making pasta for a long time.

They’re both in their eighties now but they’re still very much involved in the business, dad still does the Parmesan cheese for me.

Q

HE PACKAGES IT?

No, he hand grates it. Angelo’s is extremely traditional in their ways.

A lot of companies have moved to using big machinery, they’ll get the big Parmesan forms in and they’ll feed it through a machine to grate it. We get the Parmesan, scrape the skins and impurities off then cut it all by hand and grate it.

Q

DID YOU EVER SEE YOURSELF WORKING IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS?

No. I’ve been working in the business now for about nine years. I have a computer science degree so I worked for government for just over seven years and then I went to IBM Australia for six-and-a-half years.

Q

WHAT LURED YOU BACK?

Throughout my career I’d helped the family business doing bits and pieces but I really came to

doubly delicious

a crossroads when I had to decide whether to divorce the family and move overseas, or give up my career.

I decided I didn’t want to be 50 and feel like I’d never contributed to the family business. My brother and sister are also in the business and we all have our sections that we manage.

It’s like a puzzle.

Q

HOW DOES THE FAMILY STRUCTURE WORK IN BUSINESS: WHO’S IN CHARGE?

We sort of say we rule by congress and it really depends on what the item is. So for example in the online space I’ll pretty much take charge of that, solicit everyone’s opinion, then the final decision is made and we all go forward.

Q

Pic Tim Swanston

Local Pasta Powerhouse all in la Famiglia

WHAT CHANGES ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF OVER YOUR NINE YEARS?

The product hasn’t changed and the product philosophy, holding tradition very close to the heart, hasn’t changed. So someone can buy the lasagne or the pizza bases today and they will taste exactly the same as they did 20 years ago. If we don’t eat it, we don’t sell it. My focus is feeding your family. It’s really important to us that there’s a lot of care and attention taken with the products and we have a sweet spot

Donna Cazzolato with children because the products were actually developed on us.

Q

REALLY? HOW?

Q

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PASTA TODAY?

When we were kids dad would make something and he’d take it home and if we liked it, he made it. If we didn’t like it, he didn’t make it.

I love our fresh spaghetti.

Q

HOW DO YOU PREPARE IT?

One way stands out from my childhood when mum used to cook the pasta. Put a dollop of butter on the plate, as soon as the pasta comes out of the saucepan you put it on top of the butter, good olive oil, cracked pepper, fresh Parmesan and you quickly mix it and you eat it. It’s divine. I love that. And it’s so simple.

Tagliatelle with smoked salmon ANNABELLE’S NOTES This recipe is absolutely moreish, thank you Donna. I don’t usually cook creambased pastas but after trying this and seeing how light it actually becomes when spread across so many strands of pasta, I’ll definitely cook it again. A few tips: be sure to watch the cream as it’s heating and continue to stir it, otherwise it will boil over. You’ll have a better result if you buy “pure” pouring cream instead of the “thickened” kind, and meaty fillets of smoked salmon instead of slices.

Save time and use scissors to chop the herbs over the sauce. Be wary with your salt addition, as you’ll be adding that salty Parmesan too. I was given a packet of Angelo’s Porcini Mushroom Tagliatelle to use with the recipe, and while it was delicious, I also trialled it with plain tagliatelle which was just as good 1 tbs olive oil ½ red onion, diced 250g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced 600ml pouring cream 150g smoked salmon

method Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. While it’s heating add olive oil to a deep pan on medium heat and stir through diced red onion.

When onion is translucent, add sliced mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are golden (approx 5 mins). Add cream to mix and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and stir for 5-10 mins until thickened.

375g Angelo’s Porcini

Tagliatelle or plain Tagliatelle 1 bunch chives, diced 1 bunch parsley, diced 100g Parmesan cheese, grated

ingredients

Meanwhile add dry tagliatelle to boiling water and cook for 4-5 mins, or to your liking.

Break salmon into bite-sized pieces and stir through cream mixture. Top with chopped herbs, salt and pepper.

Drain tagliatelle and add to sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, stir through and place in bowls.

TRAVEL

Discovering the GC’s secret locations village travel ANNA STEWART The arrival of warm Spring days means coastal adventures beckon again but in addition to the beaches, venturing just a little off from the usual tourist routes can lead to some of the Gold Coast’s “hidden” spaces, places and activities.

The Federation Walk on The Spit is a surprisingly peaceful nature-based experience only a short distance from a bustling theme park and high density Surfers Paradise.

Its 93 hectares of coastal dunes offer established paths and tracks through native bushland, enhanced by sparkling ocean views.

Officially starting in Philip Park opposite Sea World, it runs approximately 3.5km north to the Gold Coast Seaway.

While still on The Spit, another local’s secret awaits. Seafood lovers should make a beeline for the Gold Coast Fishermen’s Co-operative, located a little to the north of the Palazzo Versace Hotel. It’s one of very few places where you can buy the freshest prawns, bugs, crab and other delights direct from the trawlers.

Heading south down the Gold Coast Highway, another hidden treasure is the family-friendly Miami

Marketta street food market which operates every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, just off the highway in Hillcrest Avenue, Miami.

International food stalls in the covered open-air laneway offer Japanese to Hungarian and everything in between. A licensed bar operates and regular entertainment sets a relaxed and funky vibe.

The GC now has a range of boutique breweries which offer tap-house tastings but most are in light industrial areas just off the main drag.

Watch the migration, sample the ice

Among them are Mick Fanning & Partners’ Balter Brewing in Currumbin, as well as the awardwinning Burleigh Brewing and Black Hops Brewery, both in Burleigh Heads. Check their websites for opening hours and locations.

Another hidden gem is 19Karen, a contemporary artspace located in a converted warehouse in Karen Avenue, just off the northbound highway at Mermaid Beach.

It is the largest contemporary gallery on the Coast specialising in emerging Australian and international artists.

Still on a cultural bent, the Gold Coast Arts Centre at Bundall is always worth a visit for its art gallery, cinema and live theatre spaces. The 16.9 hectare riverfront site on which it sits is undergoing change, with an entire new precinct being dedicated to arts, culture and creative enterprise.

Meanwhile, from 6-9 October the Gold Coast Arts Centre is set to host the Glitter Festival, an annual event that celebrates diversity.

The program comprises music, theatre, film and visual arts, with Aria award-winning singer Anthony Callea one of the headline acts.

More positively, I enjoyed my best meal ever at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, his three Michelin-star flagship establishment in Chelsea, London.

Endeavouring to “beat the tour operators” and mass tourism, decided to visit Bangladesh in 2006 and I’m pretty sure I was one of the first people in Australia to be given a tourist visa back then. The 10-day trip was an eye-opener, not least due to the traffic in the capital Dhaka, where road rules appeared to be practically non-existent! Chaos ruled!

Rich and perky Dining grows history The new King Street precinct at the Brisbane Showgrounds continues to grow its popular food and dining precinct, with three new restaurants set to open under The Green apartments.

Sushi & Nori, Hello Chicken and The Lamb Shop will create the next buzz on the street, following the successful opening of The George, GG’s Espresso and Fat Dumpling earlier this month.

Project Director Andrew Hay said the retailers are bringing something new and exciting to King Street and to Brisbane.

“The retail design is an intrinsic part of Brisbane Showgrounds’ story so it’s extremely important that the level of quality and character of the retail offering matches the personality of the precinct,” he said.

Sunny Lim will open her first Brisbane Sushi & Nori modern Kaiser Sushi Train and Australia’s first Hello Chicken restaurant, a fun Kombi Van takeaway and eat-in concept serving Korean style fried chicken.

The New Farm Antique Centre is rich with history dating to 1927 when the Queensland Primary Producers’ Cooperative commissioned the building of a four-level, red brick woolstore.

In 1992, the ground floor became home to the New Farm Antique Centre.

Ian Thompson bought the centre in 2009 and renamed it Commercial Road Antique House.

The business has operated successfully for 24 years on the same site and is now on the verge of another rebirth.

As the population of Teneriffe and Newstead explodes, locals are looking for something different.

Some are aiming to please with the wider variety of any Brisbane centre, quality retro clothing and interesting decorative objects, all at great prices.

Another perk that continues to bring them back is the old-fashioned tea room where the age of elegance is not neglected.

Knowledgeable staff make it a surprising experience seven days a week.

Chamber Secrets in Newstead House In late October, Brisbane’s oldest residence, Newstead House, will host “Chamber Secrets”, the first recital of the Cellar Series featuring virtuosic violinist Dan Russell from the Australian Art Quartet with guitarist composer Anthony Garcia.

Chamber Secrets will set the scene for a musical evocation of the

stories and secrets that shimmer through the walls of Newstead House, built in 1846 and which remains one of Newstead’s most iconic and revered treasures.

Set in the sandstone cellar, the program will feature works by Bach, Paganini, Garcia, improvisations and the world premiere of Offering, which is a collaborative composition dedicated to the lives and loves that have graced Newstead House over the centuries.

Dan Russell is lead violinist of the Australian Art Quartet and is currently in residency at Yellow House, Sydney Potts Point.

He performs on a violin crafted by Sibylle Fehr-Borchardt, in Italy. Dan has worked with numerous ballets, operas, and orchestras.

Anthony Garcia has his roots in the experimental music scene in New York but has made his way to performing early music with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, along with performing in many different countries, including a recently sold-out tour in China.

“Performing in new spaces, that have a beautiful natural acoustic as well as a depth of history, lends itself to magical musical experiences where the performances can be at their best,” Anthony said.

HISTORY

Edward Lodge: What’s in a name?

“

Between “Badu”, “Rosslare” and Edward Lodge, there must be countless stories which this property has yet to tell

historical society GERARD BENJAMIN

Just as artists go through stylistic phases, so house names often reflect the sentimental attachments of successive owners.

Edward Lodge, the boutique hotel on the corner of Bowen Terrace and Sydney Street, is the latest incarnation of a large house dating from 1897-1901 which once spanned three allotments.

From ca 1908, its occupants A.H. & L. Minshull, named it “Badu”, thus asserting strong connections with the Torres Strait isle north of Thursday Island.

Alfred Minshull, a County Court official from Liverpool, and also a Freemason and member of the Royal Society of St George, emigrated with his family to Queensland around 1900.

While the Minshulls eventually settled in Brisbane, they first formed several links with Badu Island and environs.

Their daughter Evelyn married the prominent Thursday Island auctioneer and trader T.C. May in 1904, and in that same year, Mrs Minshull was teaching children in Badu’s church building.

The following year, the Minshulls’ third son Harold, aged just 20, died suddenly at Thursday Island.

When the Minshull family moved into the house on the corner of Bowen Terrace and Sydney Street in April 1908, christening it “Badu”, they also took over a commercial laundry operating from the premises.

The “Mirror Laundry, New Farm” seems to have dated from 1901 though it served a much wider area.

Clothing, epecially woollen goods, could be dropped off in the city with Miss Dewing, a Queen Street draper.

Business must have been brisk since the New Farm premises continually advertised in “Positions Vacant” for “shirt ironers”, “firstclass ironer, highest wages”, “starch ironer”, “young woman for the 22

villageNews I October 2016

washhouse”, “all-round ironer”, “good washerwoman”, etc.

Thomas Welsby of “Amity” could well have been one of their customers.

Ahead of the 1912 Merthyr election, those supporting Welsby’s candidature were requested to forward messages either to his Elizabeth Street office, or to leave them with “Mr A.T. Minshull, Mirror Laundry”.

During World War I, two Minshull sons served overseas in the AIF, while in May 1917, Mrs Minshull gave an “ironing and clear-starching demonstration” to the Women’s Mutual Service Club, an organisation for relatives of men at the Front.

The home’s link with Torres Strait continued.

In August 1917, two positions for nurses at Thursday Island Hospital were advertised, with applications to be sent to Mrs Minshull’s son-in-law, Mr T.C. May, “care of Badu, Sydney Street, New Farm (phone 2627).”

In 1920, Mrs Minshull, by then widowed for four years, put the house on the market.

The contents were auctioned in 120 lots, and included a silky oak sideboard and matching dining table.

Despite the house sale (to T.J. Healy in 1922), the laundry – trading now as Mirror Steam Laundry – continued to operate, and it was still being mentioned in newspaper advertisements until 1939.

Over the years, the current owner of Edward Lodge has received isolated snippets about the home’s more recent past.

“A guest of the Lodge told me that she actually grew up in this house as a young girl,” he said.

“Another person explained that the building had once consisted of 10 flats, each with its own kitchen. Apparently it had a dreadful reputation, and people crossed the road to avoid it.”

During renovations at Edward Lodge last year, the owner was

Brisbane’s unexpected flow of history

intrigued by the faded outline of another name over the entrance.

“It was something like ‘Roslina’,” he said.

Recent detective work confirmed the fact that from 1939 and during the 1940s, the home, by now converted to flats, was called “Rosslare”, a name evoking the Irish port town.

Between “Badu”, “Rosslare” and Edward Lodge, there must be countless stories which this property has yet to tell.

The river not only played a key role in Brisbane being chosen as a convict settlement: our waterway continues to be pivotal to the city’s lifestyle.

The river will be in the spotlight at the New Farm and Districts Historical Society’s October meeting.

Well-known historian Susanna de Vries will speak about “Brisbane: from Convict Colony to River City”.

“The saga begins with the Convict and Officers’ Barracks, and convicts digging tracks along what became Queen Street and North Quay,” said Susanna.

All are welcome on Saturday October 22 at Merthyr Road Uniting Church Centre, 2-4pm.

Bring along a friend to enjoy Susanna’s talk followed by afternoon tea.

Edward Lodge is located at 75 Sydney St, New Farm

Classic locals celebrated

BY MAX EAGLES The recently published Homes with History by Gerard Benjamin is a detailed look at some of New Farm’s most iconic architecture.

“It’s about more than 20 key homes in New Farm, some of which are no longer there but worth including because they have relevance today,” said Gerard.

The architects and residents of New Farm’s great houses are remembered, as well as the architectural details and remodels of the buildings over time.

Gerard recalls New Farm’s origins as a semi-rural retreat for wealthy

families, before progressing into a more populated, workers’ area.

“The homes are kind of a marker of different phases of social history and important Brisbane personalities,” said Gerard.

The book was written following the success of Reflection on New Farm, Gerard and Gloria Grant’s history of the suburb published in 2008.

“When we were writing the book, Gloria and I had a theory that every person in Brisbane had a New Farm connection,” said Gerard.

Homes with History is available for from the local Mary Ryan book shop and New Farm Editions.

NEWS

Shoulderto-shoulder village fetes PAUL FAIRWEATHER It has been a long-held tradition that the New Farm State and Holy Spirit Schools hold their fetes on alternate years.

I am not sure how this arrangement came to be, but it is a good one.

It puts less pressure on the local businesses that support both fetes year-in, year-out and it prevents burnout of the parents and organisers.

They say it takes a village to raise a child but it certainly takes a village to hold a fete.

This year, in a small break from tradition, the Holy Spirit fete was named the Spring Fair. For all accounts it was our most successful fete ever.

The ongoing success of both New Farm fetes goes against the trend of many small schools which have abandoned their fetes.

They consider fetes hard work for little return.

There is a general consensus and they would rather just pass the hat around or run an art union, rather than go to the effort.

This has been the fate of many a school fete, so to speak.

I think that there is more to it than that, and the success of both the New Farm fetes is that though each event bears the moniker of the hosting school, in reality they are bigger community events, in effect a village festival.

Rubens Village Fete circa 1635 In our ever busier lives, we have lost many of our traditions.

The idea of a fete as a festival is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years.

Rubens painted about it in 1635 in a painting titled the Village Fete.

Fete comes from the French word fete meaning holiday or party.

It is much celebrated in France and in 1717 the French academy introduced a genre of painting named Fete Galante to capture the magic of the FĂŞte ChampĂŞtre, the French garden party.

Due to space limitations caused by a major construction project this year, Archbishop Coleridge granted the school permission to set up our international food stands behind his official residence, Wynberg.

The resulting set with the back drop of both the Holy Spirit Church and Wynberg created an atmosphere that evokes fetes of past. Uncanny!

The day before, as we were putting the finishing touches on the set-up, the heavens opened.

As the storms started to roll in, we were thinking that maybe September 11 was not the most auspicious day for a celebration.

Very worrying was the Weather Bureau forecast was for a sunny day!

The next morning, there was a collective sigh of relief as hundreds of Holy Spirit parents woke to a beautiful spring day.

Kelly Wells, Clara Carmichael and Emily Cavanagh With all the rain it was as if the fete set-up had been given a spring clean and a perfect backdrop for our version of the traditional village festival.

I know next year I will be a very relaxed participant at the New Farm

Sarah Cummings and Ava Fitzgerald State School fete, and I will soak up all the fun of the fair (or fete in this case) with not an ounce of effort.

Because in the end, it is their fete, but a fete we all share.

SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS

Photographer thanks his Uncle Flick Float centre in James st Float centre City Cave opened its doors in James street at the end of August with owners Tim Butters and Jeremy Hassle describing the experience of floating in a bath of Epsom salts to help your body and mind relax as being reborn both mentally and physically.

As floaters themselves, Tim and Jeremy wanted to create something special to help and connect with people through a floating experience.

“After bringing people through on the first week, we realised that we can actually make a difference into people’s lives and that is amazing!”

Tim said.

“Our business lifestyle and owning a few retail stores was very demanding and that’s when we

started floating last year to help with stress and we both got absolutely hooked!” they said.

“It really brings you into perspective and it transformed our lives in so many ways!

“We don’t want to push people out the door an d we want to give everyone a nice, comfortable and safe environment,” Jeremy said.

Floating helps with a range of things from reducing stress, relieving physical pain and boost creativity.

Jeremy believes that floating is perfect for pregnant women to provide a unique experience with their unborn baby as well as providing stress and pain relief.

“The best thing for them is that they can hear the heart of their baby and hear the movements in their belly. It’s a different experience for them to feel a kick when floating,” he said.

Intriguing, expensive and confusing … that’s how Joseph Byford described a camera when he was a child.

Now a professional freelance photographer, he thanks his Uncle Flick, a Melbourne photographer, for influencing and nurturing his childhood enthusiasm for taking pictures.

“He used to send me rolls of film in the post with a little note saying ‘Good luck, see what you can do with this’, and within a month I’d send them back and he would develop them in his darkroom,” Joseph said.

Italy, his “second home”, also helped to foster his early creativity.

“When I was young, I used to live in Florence with my parents and I went back for a gap year to work and study art history,” he said.

It was there he began to express his love of art and architecture through photography.

While studying, he was also freelancing, taking photographs for clients, including the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and PR business owner Kath Rose.

“Straight after graduating I was fortunate enough to land a job with the portrait studio ‘Verve’ on James Street, where I learned a great deal.

After six months, I decided it was time to branch out as an independent.”

Events, portraits, seminars and product shoots now keep him pretty busy around Brisbane and the Gold Coast, as well as at his studio on Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley.

“I am happy to bring my portable studio with me in the car with lights, cameras, everything I need.

Golf popularity responds to technology

Highly popular brunch location Double Shot New Farm will be serving up much more than coffee, now functioning as a licensed venue and operating until 9pm on Fridays.

Owners Graeme and Vanessa Stringfellow said that the café was sure to please, with beer and wine for lunch as well as their new opening hours on Friday evenings.

“It’s a perfect, casual location to stop after work and relax with good food, drinks and friends,” Mr Stringfellow said.

“We’ve launched an exciting and unique share plate menu like the slowcooked meat board, fusion board or mouthwatering deserts,” he said.

“Everything is cooked on the premises at our breezy, riverside café.”

The café boasts classic lunch options such as freshly made sandwiches and salads.

Mr Stringfellow chatted about some of their crowd-pleasing dishes,

The Victoria Park Golf Learning Centre has been reopened, introducing the expansion of technology and golfing equipment.

Victoria Park director Adam Flaskas believes that the new improved centre will make a difference after 15 years’ hard work growing the game of golf in Brisbane.

“We are always striving to be market leaders and our new Golf Learning Centre will be one of the best coaching facilities in the country,” he said.

“Following extensive research and design, the Golf Learning Centre has undergone large-scale renovations over the past six months to continue to be at the forefront of golf coaching in Australia.”

The centre features seven coaching bays with the latest technology including high-speed cameras, golf swing analysis software for golf professionals, SAM Putt Lab and more.

Vanessa and Graeme Stringfellow such as the green papaya salad with shredded poached chicken, pulled pork and apple pie with mashed potato and salad, and Double Shot’s smoked ocean trout and potato cake with poached egg, Parmesan and Sicilian olives.

These dishes can be enjoyed with a view of the Brisbane River in a quaint part of New Farm, often frequented by cyclists after a morning ride and some of New Farm’s much loved dogs.

Ph. 3358 6556 125 Oxlade Drive, New Farm

“Every aspect of the golfer’s game is measurable, and with the industryleading technology and equipment our golf coaches use in lessons, it is now possible to provide students with this feedback instantly,” Adam said.

Victoria Park’s experienced golf coaches will work with the new technology to provide an in-depth analysis of each golfer’s swing to improve their performance in every golf lesson.

PROPERTY

Auction back under the stars

Tony Hansen is a smart, experienced and observational guy – not surprising when you consider his 16 successful years in commercial, sales and leasing in New Farm, Fortitude Valley, Teneriffe and Newstead.

A name synonymous with New Farm property, Tony Hansen leased some of his time to Village News so we could share some of his wisdom on the commercial market in New Farm.

“Commercial wasn’t a big thing down here in New Farm when I started, there was only really little pockets of strata (retail shops and office spaces) and single warehouses.

“It’s really since residential blocks have been cropping up with commercial content underneath to underpin their valuations that it really exploded”.

Brunswick St has been an everchanging commercial landscape, with shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and retail spaces often changing tenants over the course of months and years.

“It died in Brunswick St, jumped down to James St which became

trendy and now you have Commercial Rd and the Gasworks Precinct.”

However, in recent times with the reopening of the New Farm Cinema and other “new kids on the block” there has been a noticeably fresh, vibrant and attractive resurrection of New Farm’s High Street.

While there has been a recent flourish of commercial activity along Brunswick Street there still remains numerous leasing opportunities which Mr Hansen thinks may need some upgrades if they are going to compete with the various newer hubs in the peninsula.

Tony Hansen started his real estate career in New Farm 16 years ago at the Professionals, then LJ Hooker when they merged.

It would be safe to say Tony Hansen has leased and/ or sold the majority of properties in the Brunswick Street area at one time or another over the past decade and would probably have most landlords on speed dial.

Tony has just started as a consultant at Cartella, a leading service provider of electrical,

Tony Hansen

Pic Tim Swanston

Look around, he’s probably leased it

plumbing and petroleum services across the commercial, domestic and industrial sectors and is keen to provide his wisdom and experience on all facets of leasing and property maintenance being undertaken from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast.

With Tony’s recent move to consulting in the re-fit and services sector, it’s safe to say “Tony Hansen for Lease” will be around for many years to come.

The popular biannual auction event, “Auction Under the Stars”, showcasing local property and food will be held

by Ray White New Farm & Spring Hill next month.

Ray White New Farm principal Matt Lancashire said the carpark of Ray White New Farm on Brunswick Street will be converted into a large theatre-like space, so that attendees can relax under the stars and bid on a wide range of property.

“It’s a fabulous, exclusive event which has been a massive hit in the past few years, with our auction clearance rates always well above the industry standard,” Mr Lancashire said.

“We’re really looking forward to this one. Stock levels are still very tight on the Peninsular and confidence at an all-time high,” he said.

At the last event, 13 out of 17 properties were sold on the night, with another sold straight after and two more in the days following.

For details about this event call Ray White New Farm on 3254 1022

John & Nolene McCann

Make an investment in quality of life James Street in your front yard and the Gasworks Plaza at the back: this lifestyle could be yours if you purchase at Chester Street, Newstead.

John and Nolene McCann are selling their luxurious 429sq.m, fourbedroom, three-bath apartment, in

the heart Brisbane’s most exciting area.

“There’s lots of individual and personal space, it’s really quite a private apartment,” Mr McCann said.

“You can have a quality of life where you have personal time, a rarity in apartment living,” he said.

“With the size of this apartment, there’s plenty of personal space to indulge in.”

The inner-city lifestyle and convenience was a big draw-card to the space for the McCanns.

“Its central-ness is such a key feature, it’s really in the hub of this area where you can walk to Gasworks, the James Street Precinct and the Emporium – they’re all such a short distance away,” Mr McCann said.

I spend time each month with agents in Sydney & Melbourne. I’m always keen to get a read on how their markets are performing. It’s highly likely that when their markets cool off, we will also see a levelling off of prices.

From the 300 agents I was with last month they unanimously agreed that they are still seeing prices rise, that there is considerably more buyers than sellers in the market and that open homes are still a free for all for shoe thieves!

It was a pretty miserable winter for property owners with the electioncausing the market to snap freeze. As agents, we were unsure as to whether the change of behaviour was a case of election jitters or a sign of things to come.

Fortunately the market is now back on track and as predicted there has been a solid wave of Peninsula homes hit the market, much to the pleasure of the waiting pack of hungry buyers.

Even if our southern neighbours do see their prices take a down turn it is unlikely to have the same effect up here. Queensland has in no way seen the huge price increases that have been enjoyed (only by the sellers) in those other capital cities. With interest rates still incredibly low and our coastal markets on the brink of a boom, our local village couldn’t be in better shape heading into our annual selling season. haesley is the local principal of living here cush partners and a columnist for the sunday mail. portions of this article may be an extract from his column.

THE OTHER SIDE WITH IVO KORNEL

We’ve had some outstanding sales results in the office in the last few weeks including the third and fourth highest New Farm house sales in 2016 (as yet undisclosed).

We put modest marketing recommendations to our vendors or no marketing spend and worked our database in conjunction with our wider strategy. We are finding that in this market the adertising recommendation should be on a case by case analysis and take into account the buyers we have waiting in the wings. We’d never recommend you pay for marketing that we wouldn’t see value in paying for ourselves.

The days of the big spends in The Courier Mail of $25,000 or more to advertise your property are numbered. Agents who constantly hammer Courier Mail into their clients are doing so as a strategy for their own personal profile as much as anything. The reason is often given by agents that the Courier Mail will catch the passive buyer, but if you want to buy in New Farm, you will have decided to look in New Farm for the characteristics and amenity the area offers, not because you stumbled across it. Conversely an ad in the Courier for a property outside our area might catch the interest of a New Farm owner but not the other way around. So that rational actually doesn’t work for a famous, blue chip locality like ours.

In terms of current performance, if your decision surrounding which agent to choose to sell your property is purely a commercial one, then look at the runs on the board and what that agent has actually sold recently. That will give you an idea of how focused and hard working they are now, not three years ago, but now. It will give you an idea of how well they are working their hot buyers now and how well they are adapting to an ever changing market place.

Our momentum is building by the day and we invite you to call us to investigate why as an agency that is one year old, we have 40% market share of houses for sale/sold in New Farm on and off-market.

Looking forward to your call!
