ON THE COVER
LONG-TERM LOCALS MAKE THEIR MARK AS children in the 1980s Alex Rigby and Rob McCready pursued epic adventures around what is now the Noosa Springs resort. Today the childhood mates are local developers and fellow directors of the Altum Property Group, the name behind the hugely popular Parkridge Noosa development. “Both Rob and I have lived around Noosa since we were young children,” Alex said. “We used to play within what is now the Parkridge site as kids so we have developed a real affinity with the area as well as an understanding of what is required to ensure it is in keeping with the local environment.” With sweeping, 180-degree water views, and surrounded by protected bushland, it’s easy to see why the pair are so passionate about ensuring Parkridge Noosa fulfils its obligation as a high-quality sustainable development. Rob is a licensed builder with over 21 years of experience in design, construction management and sustainable building and Alex has a Bachelor of Applied Science in Property Economics and 20 years of history in property development. The pair came together a decade ago to create Altum Property Group. “We first started working out of a three-bedroom house and one of the first projects we did was to build a new office complex,” Rob said. “We chose Peregian to base ourselves because we saw a gap for a quality local builder with the same values as the people who live there, that means a strong focus on community, family and sustainability.” Over the years Altum has won dozens of industry awards for sustainability as well as quality workmanship, and Rob believes these are two key factors that separate Altum from the crowd. “Altum is the Latin word for sustainable, and this is very much a focus of what we do in all aspects of our business,” he said. “We’ve always focused on creating projects which have been designed and built with sustainability in mind. “We use hard-wearing, long-lasting materials where possible and offer our clients value-for-money options to help them choose a more sustainable building. “We have a simple and successful strategy to achieve affordable long-term sustainable building solutions that address climate change issues and reduce future energy costs. “At Parkridge, we continue this theme by offering buyers the opportunity to secure carbon-neutral options within their residence. “Where possible we like to stay on board long-term with our developments. “We might hold onto a couple of units ourselves, and we manage the finished development and the body corporate, so if there are ever any issues, we can handle them straight away.” ●
Alex Rigby, Rob McCready and Jeremy Gilmore are the faces behind Parkridge Noosa.

ACCOLADES FOR HIGH ACHIEVERS BY TESSA MAPSTONE THE past 12 months have been a busy, yet rewarding year for Rachel Sellman, Sales Executive for Century 21 Conolly Hay Group, with her dedication and hard work earning her a state-wide recognition amongst the industry. Mrs Sellman has been named Century 21’s Top Salesperson of the year for Queensland, and she stood alongside a host of her outstanding colleagues as she accepted her award during the Century 21 QLD Annual Awards held in Brisbane last week. Runner up for the Top Salesperson of the year went to her Century 21 Conolly Hay Group colleague Gavin Ryan from the group’s Peregian Beach office. In fact, the Century 21 Conolly Hay Group came home from the awards
ceremony with 21 accolades, including the prize for Number One Office in Australasia for the entire year of 2017, making the Group the most successful office within the entire Century 21 network through Australia and New Zealand.. “I work amongst a very highachieving team of colleagues so this acknowledgement was a great honour,” Mrs Sellman said. “The past year has been both challenging and rewarding, not only to achieve results that strengthen the market in all price ranges but to enter into high-end property sales has been a great accomplishment.” “I rely on repeat and referral business and I’m grateful for all of the loyal and trusting clients I’ve met along the way.” Century 21 Conolly Hay Group principal
Mike Hay said the group’s success at the awards was a testament to the incredible team of hard-working and driven staff. “A huge thank you goes to our entire team - to our property managers who are doing an amazing job every day with our permanent and holiday rentals, to our admin girls who are a fantastic support to everyone - nothing is too much trouble, and everything is done so quickly and efficiently,” he said. “Our entire sales team throughout our four offices is just incredible. “As well as the normal sales our team achieves day to day, we find ourselves thinking more and more ‘how did they get this deal together?’ or ‘how did they get this price?’. “It is truly incredible to watch our team work together to achieve these fantastic
results for our clients, and to create continuous business. “We are so proud of them.” Reaching top salesperson status, Mrs Sellman said, hinged on ensuring the absolute trust of both buyers and sellers, and employing excellent negotiation skills. “I’m looking forward to new challenges this year and I am excited to present more stunning new properties to the market, which I will be launching soon,” she said. The Century 21 Conolly Hay Group is set for another successful year, continuously thriving and aiming to achieve the best results for their clients throughout the Noosa Shire, and principals Mike Hay and David Conolly look forward to guide their team to exciting new heights. ●
AGENTS GET THE TICK OF APPROVAL BY TESSA MAPSTONE COMPETITION between Noosa hinterland real estate agencies is fierce, so the team at Countryside Realty was surprised and thrilled to be named the agency of the year for Lake Macdonald in the RateMyAgent Awards for 2018. The awards compare more than 32,000 agents and agencies across the country according to customer reviews and feedback, highlighting the leading real estate agents and agencies in each suburb, city and state across Australia, and on a national level. Countryside Realty owner and principal Robyn Kildey said to be voted Agency of the Year for Lake Macdonald was a testimony to the hard work of all of the agency’s staff members. “Time after time they receive glowing testimonials from clients who often become long term friends of the office,” she said. “I can only thank each and every one of our clients who took the time to write such lovely things about our agency. “2018 holds many big things for Countryside Realty Noosa and this is only the start.” noosatoday.com.au

REIQ chief executive officer Antonia Mercorella said the Awards for Excellence showcased those real
estate professionals who had achieved outstanding results to rise to a level above their peers. “To achieve at this level requires enormous commitment, tireless work and incredible motivation and the finalists and winners here tonight have successfully demonstrated their ability to do that,” she said. Another hinterland agency revelling com.au
in RateMyAgent awards success was Hargrave Real Estate, which won Agency of the Year Awards for Pomona, Cooran and Kin Kin.

COAST ENJOYS JUMP IN LAND VALUES
AGENT OF THE YEAR -
DOONAN Source - Rate my Agent
THE latest land valuations for properties in Noosa, the Sunshine Coast, and 20 other local government areas in the state, have just been released. It will come as no surprise to locals that land values in Noosa have jumped by 11.3 per cent since the last valuation in 2016, the largest increase among coastal council areas assessed. Sunshine Coast land values have increased by 10.4 per cent, well above the state-wide average of 8.8 per cent. The newly-released 2018 Property Market Movement Report reveals infrastructure construction, strong tourism activity and continued demand for coastal living have driven the local growth in value. The greatest demand centred around mid-priced coastal properties and those in smaller towns along the North Coast rail line, like Yandina, Nambour and Landsborough, which offer a more affordable option for buyers. Prestige property values have also improved, with minor increases in

beachfront land as well as for canal-front properties in Noosa. Queensland’s Valuer-General Neil Bray said increased values were a trend that continued over much of the state. “These increases are owed to a robust tourism industry and increased migration in several coastal centres as well as our strong agricultural industry - particularly in the cattle and sheep grazing regions across Central Queensland,” he said. “Overall, rural land values have increased throughout the state - a great indicator of market confidence in Queensland’s rural and regional areas.” The median value for residential land in Noosa is now $270,000, up 13.7 per cent from 2016, and $202,500 for rural residential land, up by 8 per cent. Queensland’s Valuer-General is tasked with issuing land valuations used to determine council rates, state land tax and rental pricing for leasehold land. New land valuations were made available on 7 March. ●
