YLM GOES INSIDE THE LODGE

INSIDE “YOUTH CAMP TURNED MY LIFE AROUND” AUSSIE MUSIC LEGEND RICHARD CLAPTON COMES CLEAN

ylm-13-2

Can't wait to meet you all! Our Local COMMUNITY Sponsors The YLM team is frantically running around putting the finishing touches to our exciting Boost Your Business event, being held at South Pacific tonight (Thursday).

Not only will this be a wonderful opportunity to meet you, but also a chance to hear some words of wisdom from one of the country’s leading experts in small business marketing, Amanda Stevens. One of Amanda’s first businesses did so well, she could have retired in her 20s. But lazing around on a sun lounger doesn’t best describe Amanda! As an author and one of the most in-demand speakers in Australia, Amanda loves nothing more than to help small businesses grow and flourish. One local business that’s been around for nearly two decades is Classy Lady fashion boutique on Gympie Terrace. Its owner, Lorraine Kenway, features in our Noosa People section this week. Like many locals Lorraine is very involved in helping others. And giving that help can make a huge difference in other people’s lives. Ali Coleman told YLM that her life could have turned out very differently if she hadn’t

met school chaplain Michelle Prenzler and got involved in Insearch Camp. Some groups are well known for the help they give – others quietly do it behind the scenes, like the members of the Tewantin Freemasons Lodge. YLM was honoured to be invited inside the Temple and learn about the group’s fascinating history and their fundraising. In a packed issue this week we also chat to legendary Aussie rocker Richard Clapton, and spend a day in the emergency department at Noosa Hospital, as well as sharing some stunning renovating ideas and ge ing busy in the kitchen. Enjoy!

UPDATE

A matter of life and death

ISOBEL COLEMAN

If you thought Noosa Hospital’s Emergency Department was like the popular TV show, Grey’s Anatomy, think again. There’s not much time for idle gossip and personal dramas when Noosa’s small but specialist emergency team attend to around 18,000 patients a year. On the day YLM visited the team had dealt with everything from breathing difficulties caused by chest infections to several fractures and a head injury. There’s no set pattern to what the doctors and nurses will see on any given day but one thing’s for sure – with a sizeable population of its own, plus the many thousands of tourists, it’s never quiet and it’s never boring. Recently appointed Director of Emergency Medicine, Dr Mary Basire – who has worked at Noosa Hospital for nine years – said looks could be deceiving. “The waiting room may be quite empty but that doesn’t reflect what’s going on behind closed doors – that’s quite a different story,” Dr Basire told YLM. “The fact that the waiting room is quiet just shows how efficiently the team is working.” Noosa Hospital is a private hospital that uniquely offers some public services and the emergency department welcomes anybody who needs help. “We see every kind of emergency, apart from major road traffic accidents, which go to Nambour,” Dr Basire said. “So on any given day we have heart attacks, strokes, broken bones, head injuries and more. We get a lot of surfing injuries all year round. Everybody goes through triage first, where urgency and priority are assessed because clearly we have to treat the sickest people first.” So for example, using two real emergencies, one woman with a nail through her foot went through triage but then had to wait a while to see the doctor, whereas a female patient who had had an allergic reaction to a plant and was having trouble breathing

Director of Emergency Medicine, Dr Mary Basire and Nurse Unit Manager Sudhiira Perkoulidis went straight through to a bed. Nurse Unit Manager Sudhiira Perkoulidis said no two days were ever the same and everything could change in a split second. “We know we are always going to be busy during the holidays, especially over Christmas, with the huge influx of visitors into town, but otherwise it’s very unpredictable. For example, an ambulance could suddenly arrive and everything changes,” he said. “We’ve seen more children coming through in recent

years and an increasing number of falls from pushbikes, skateboards, ripboards etc. “We are open 24 hours a day with four doctors and nine nurses changing shifts over that time, and just seven beds, so we have to work fast whilst maintaining the care and attention a patient needs.” “It’s all about logistics, moving people through and working together as a team,” Dr Basire said. “The Emergency Department attracts a certain type of team member – it’s a very high pressure role but the variety keeps it interesting. And nowadays the nurses are specially trained in emergency care. “And because we are a small department, all staff must be able to deal with the seriously unwell.” “We are quite unique in Australia in how we operate, not only in the number of cases we treat, but in that we are not a public department but we don’t discriminate,” Sudhiira said. Both Dr Basire and Sudhiira agree there are exciting times ahead for medicine on the Coast. “It can be very frustrating and upsetting for patients to have to travel to Brisbane for some procedures so we are looking forward to the new hospital opening at Kawana. It’s a good time for the Coast,” Dr Basire said. Ramsay Health Care’s Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital opened in November and is treating an increased number of public patients until the new Sunshine Coast Public University Hospital opens in 2016. This will offer a range of new and expanded public hospital services, supported by highly trained and specialised staff, to safely care for patients with complex or life-threatening conditions. This means about 10,000 patients each year will not have to travel to Brisbane for complex treatment. Noosa Hospital will continue to offer a wide range of quality services to the local community.

Students off to Everest to help Sherpas JIM FAGAN MOUNT EVEREST, SHERPAS, SNOW LEOPARDS AND HELPING NEPALESE ORPHANS ARE VERY MUCH IN THE MINDS RIGHT NOW OF SEVEN YEAR 11 AND 12 STUDENTS AT ST ANDREW’S ANGLICAN COLLEGE. In September the students Isaak Jackson, (College Captain), Ben Hassmann, Thomas Pratt, Genevieve Kane, all Year 12 and Harry Mohr, Danielle Van Os, Lily Hulse, Year 11, will head off to what the school’s head of secondary, Brad Bowen, calls an “epic,

breathtaking Himalayan challenge and the trip of a lifetime.” The students will be accompanied by teachers Jane Cooksley, Sue Bambling and Hayley Rogerson and Brad who told YLM how in recent years students had visited Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. “This year’s group decided they wanted to do something a little bit more strenuous and go to Everest base camp and, while there, would also do some work with orphanages like Katya House and the Snow Leopard Conservation Trust that we have links to.

“They are also raising money now to help those families of the Sherpa families of the 16 mountain guides killed on the Mount Everest avalanche in April. “The trip also involves two days white water rafting plus an overnight camp on the Trisuli River then back to Kathmandu from where we fly out to Everest base camp and then return to Kathmandu and Katya House. We’ve already had four students who raised money themselves and went to work in the orphanage.” The students are training hard. Last month they took part in the

Kokoda Challenge 48km run on the Gold Coast. “They are also doing some long hill walking at weekends but mostly we’re leaving it to the students themselves to make sure they are fit and ready to go. They are also fundraising by doorknocking and selling snow leopard dolls.” Tomorrow (Friday) the students and 200 primary school children will attend a Teddy Bear Picnic at the school to raise funds for their expedition and the College’s Help Save an Asian Bear fundraiser, starting at 12.30pm.

Say good-bye to dental phobia at Tewantin Dental

ISOBEL COLEMAN I have a confession to make – I am terrified of going to the dentist. Or at least I was. This is strange, given that I have parachuted out of planes and swum with sharks – activities that could have a far more frightening outcome than simply going to the dentist! But I was, and I always had been. And I’m not alone. Dental phobia - also called odontophobia - refers to the fear of dentistry and of receiving dental care and it has been reported that many Australians do not seek regular dental care due to anxiety and fear surrounding the dental experience. This can have serious ramifications for your dental health and overall well-being. Besides chronically infected gums and teeth, your

ability to chew and digest can be seriously compromised. Your self confidence can also be compromised if you are insecure about your breath and smile. I have to admit that I hated going to the dentist, even if it was just for a check-up and clean – because I knew the second the ultrasonic scaler hit that sensitive area next to the gums, I would just want to run away! However, all that has changed. I had a good dentist but when Tewantin Dental came on board with YLM, and I saw their professional manner firsthand, I decided to give them a go. So I headed in there last week with my knees knocking – and emerged smiling, with beautifully clean teeth. First I went in to see Dental Hygienist Sara. Friendly, efficient and professional she explained everything she was doing, was very gentle and took my fears very seriously. Before even starting the cleaning she applied a

Adapted from Disney’s 2008 Broadway production, The Little Mermaid featured hit songs, such as Part of Your World, She’s in Love, and the Oscar-winning Under the Sea. Rehearsals began last October for the show, and the wealth of young talent shone through in the live performances. Teachers said they were extremely proud of the students’ “unflagging enthusiasm and energy”. A huge thank you was extended to the senior students who helped with filming, mentoring and backstage work, and to all the GSLC families, staff, helpers and students who participated.

special numbing gel and, I can truthfully say, I didn’t feel any pain. Best of all she didn’t tell me off for not having visited a dentist for so long! Sara is one of two Dental Hygienists at Tewantin Dental, the other being Giulia. Next stop was Principal Dentist Dr Alex Banic. He was so friendly and welcoming that I almost forgot why I was there! He, too, was very aware of my nerves, and was keen to put me at ease. The examination went smoothly and again, I received only helpful, constructive feedback and no doom and gloom! Before I knew it I was out the door and heading for home, clutching my goody bag. The numbness had worn off, there was no pain and my teeth looked and felt great. Will I be going back for my next appointment? I certainly will, because I have finally rid myself of dental phobia.

Vital work for Coast Guard tower JIM FAGAN

Work has started on repairs to Coast Guard Noosa’s observation tower at the end of the rock wall at the mouth of Noosa River. The area has been fenced off and will be closed to the public until the middle of August. This tower was built in the early 90s by the developers of Noosa Waters and given to the Coast Guard. Over the years it has endured considerable saltwater damage and needs rotting timbers replaced as well as a new roof and a new staircase. “Cost of the work is $46,000 and will be met by Noosa Council which has taken on the tower as an asset,” Council facility officer Ian Pearce told YLM on site as R and L Jones Constructions started the rebuilding last week. “The value of the work is pretty miniscule compared to the lives the Coast Guard saves. It’s a great investment. We will be responsible for routine maintenance and, if there is storm damage, we will be able to repair it straight away.” According to Coast Guard Noosa Commander John Milland, the flotilla will be responsible for refurbishing the inside of the tower which holds the radio equipment and camera controls. “Another bonus is we’ve also received money from a State gambling fund which allows us to

Commander John Milland and Noosa Council facility officer, Ian Pearce put in an infra red system so we will be able to monitor boats crossing the bar day and night.” He said the main function of the tower is on busy traffic weekends and holidays like Christmas and Easter. “We don’t have direct line of sight from headquarters at Munna Point so the tower is very important. We man it and have someone eyeballing vessels as they go across the bar. We get a massive number of boats at holiday times and the fact that we have someone on duty there means we can respond quickly and ensure lives are saved.” He said Mayor Noel Playford “has a very high regard for the flotilla. Since the Council has been re-established our voice is being heard as a vital local community organisation. When I told him we needed a new tower, he said he would look into it and within days his inspectors came back with their report. “I am absolutely thrilled the Council has taken over ownership. It means we can continue to provide essential services at the river mouth.”

Ali's story

“Youth camp turned my life around” ISOBEL COLEMAN At the age of 12 Ali Coleman’s life changed drastically. And at that point, her story could have had a very different ending.

Just 12, when life should have been ﬁlled with fun and friends and happy families. Instead it was ﬁlled with grief, with the passing away of her father. And then pain and turmoil as her family fell apart. “I was in a really bad place for about three years. I was depressed, struggling with anxiety, really unhappy,” Ali told YLM. “I got really sick with glandular fever and had to undergo surgery, so I missed a lot of school, which didn’t help ma ers. “I just couldn’t see any future.” Already struggling Ali then faced another heartbreaking situation, when her Mum was admi ed to a psychiatric hospital. “I was 15 and I was a sad li le kid. I was being bullied and I was in a really dark place. “But that’s when I met Michelle.” Michelle is Michelle Prenzler, a mum of four and a school chaplain. She was working as a Chappie at Ali’s school. “Through my work as a Chappie I see a lot of very

troubled youngsters. When I met Ali she was a very tired, scared li le girl,” said Michelle. “And I thought she was a perfect candidate for the Insearch Michelle Camp.” Prenzler Youth Insearch is a community organisation that coordinates weekend programs focused on resolving adolescent issues at a peer level for young people aged between 12-17 years. It is a grass roots, earlyintervention program, which works alongside welfare agencies, schools and local police to identify ‘at-risk’ youth that will benefit from the program. “Meeting Michelle and a ending my first camp turned my life around. Suddenly, life actually meant something,” said Ali. “With the help of Michelle and the camp I have come a long way. I now have structure to my life and I know where I’m going and what I want. “I didn’t want to go at first, I was terrified but I pushed myself and when I got there, I was ecstatic. “It was one of the most important things that ever happened in my life.” Michelle explained that the camps can be very emotional. “For most of these kids, it’s the first time they have ever opened up and talked about their feelings. For some, it’s the first time they have let themselves cry. But that’s a really positive thing, because then we can start to help them with self esteem and trust, and work out who they are and who they want to be.” Founded in 1985 in Sydney, Insearch receives some government funding but is mostly financed by community groups – such as the Lions Club of Tewantin – and individuals. Michelle would like to see many more youngsters have access to the camps. “I fell in love with the camp the very first time I a ended, as a support worker. I wish every kid could go,” she said. “Seeing a young person totally transform from sad and scared to happy and focussed is truly amazing. “At camp, we deal with issues like grief, drugs and alcohol, sexual abuse and we can make a real difference to their lives.” For Ali, the camps were also an escape. “After Dad died I was the one who picked up the pieces so I didn’t get the chance to grieve or be upset until I went to camp. Then I realised I could move on from those things. “The camps help kids like me get their lives on track. They realise what’s happened to them and understand that it won’t be bad forever. “Insearch Camp is like an ever growing family – the amount of love expressed during the weekend is unbelievable.

At camp, we deal with issues like grief, drugs and alcohol, sexual abuse and we can make a real difference to their lives. Michelle Prenzler “I learnt how to love.” Already, Ali was writing her own happy ending – but it just got be er. After two years of going to camp Ali has applied to become a Camp Leader herself and has started her training. “Being a trainee leader is one of my greatest achievements to date. It’s such a great feeling to know I’m the person they [kids] are looking up to now. I am so grateful for the opportunity and I feel so blessed,” Ali said. “It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done but knowing I could make a diﬀerence to even one person’s life is amazing.”

STORY

Freemasonry Unveiled TEWANTIN LODGE OPENS ITS DOORS

They have been around for hundreds of years and have included some of the greatest names in history yet little is known about them. But Freemasons are now lifting their veil of secrecy and YLM was invited to step inside the Tewantin Lodge and talk to Master Mason Des Sorley and Secretary Brian Lee. ISOBEL COLEMAN Books like The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown haven’t helped but it has to be said that over the years, Freemasons haven’t gone out of their way to lift the veil of secrecy that hangs over their organisation. Shrouded in ancient history and incorporating rituals that probably began in the 15th century, a lack of information about the Masonic Lodges has instigated a raft of rumours and misconceptions. But this week the Tewantin Lodge opened its doors to YLM in the true spirit of transparency. First, let’s dispel some of the Masonic myths. Freemasons are not controlled by the Illuminati or linked to the Ku Klux Klan. They did not fake the Apollo moon landings nor do they worship the devil!

If you’re having a giggle right about now, that’s ﬁne, because according to Tewantin Lodge secretary Brian Lee, accusations like this are laughable - especially given the huge amount of good Freemasons do in their communities. “You hear about other organisations giving to community groups but never the Freemasons, and that’s been our fault to some degree,” he said. “It’s not that we have something to hide, we just haven’t publicised what we do.” What goes on behind closed doors at their meetings is a ma er for the members, and not something this journalist was privy to. But it is based on time-honoured rituals and symbolism, with the most widely recognised

symbols being the square and compass. These are used to point out the need for order and direction in life; to teach members to conduct themselves properly and control their passions and prejudices. The symbols are easily recognised as “tools of the trade” – the plumb line, the level and so on. And much of the language relates to the ancient trade of masonry. The Worshipful Master of the Tewantin Lodge, Des Sorley, explained how freemasonry sets out a code for living. “It encourages virtuous and ethical behaviour. Freemasons strive to live by the fundamental principles of integrity, goodwill and benevolence. “Freemasonry gladly accepts men from all

Present at that meeting were locals such as John Parkyn – boat tour operator; Henry Walter – proprietor of Laguna Guest House; Arthur Carter – a local police ofﬁcer; Gooloi Street butcher William J Ross, and local school master, William Hooper. The consecration and installation of the Tewantin Lodge ﬁnally took place on July 28, 1928 – at 3.30pm to be exact. As well as the Grand Lodge Installation Team and 15 Brethren of Tewantin Lodge, there were an impressive 174 visiting Brethren. Nowadays the numbers are not as high. “We have 36 members as people have moved for work or passed away. We

would like to welcome new members,” Brian said. The current Lodge sits on the corner of Moorindil and Toolar Streets in Tewantin. The foundation stone was laid on September 5, 1953 by MW Bro The Hon Mr Justice BH Ma hews, grand master of UGLA. The hall that adjoins the Lodge started life as St Mary’s on a site adjacent to Tewantin RSL. It was moved to its current location and is now fully equipped to be hired out to local groups. Many thanks to Des Sorley, Brian Lee and the Tewantin Lodge for allowing YLM access to write this story.

occupations, regardless of their race, creed, colour or social status.” Freemasonry is not a religion and it is non-political. In fact, the discussion of politics and religion at Masonic meetings is forbidden. Among the Three Great Principles of Freemasonry is Relief - to “practice benevolence, and to care, not only for their own, but also for the community as a whole, but by charitable giving, and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals”. And that is something the Tewantin Lodge is very good at. Over the last few years members have given thousands of dollars to a wide range of local groups, from Sunshine Bu erflies to the Life Education Van, and from naval cadets to local school students, by way of bursaries. Tewantin Lodge has a fascinating history, with many recognisable local names involved. The first official meeting to form a Lodge in Tewantin was held on March 19, 1927, in the then School of Arts, Tewantin.

In the book, he describes how he “cha ed to Keith for hours about my aspirations to become a graphic artist or a rock musician in London. “Later that day I bumped into drummer Charlie Wa s and Bill Wyman, their bassist, also an absolute gentleman.” Richard and his friend Ross were invited to accompany the band, in a fleet of limos, to a gig – until Mick Jagger found out and told them to “F*** off!” Back in Melbourne Richard fell in with some of Australia’s original rockers, including The Falcons and The Dingoes. They would all hang out in a huge house and drink and play music. “It was such an incubator of talent, it was incredible. None of us were earning a cent, just playing for beer really, and that was fine. Money-earning pop stars weren’t very welcome! No-one gave a damn about money.”

Richard went on to write and perform some of Australia’s most iconic songs, like Deep Water, Goodbye Tiger, Lucky Country, Capricorn Dancer, Girls on the Avenue and more. More than just songs, they told the Richard Clapton story of life in Australia during the 60s and 70s. And that same wry observation of human behaviour is what makes his book so good. “I started it 13 or 14 years ago but really just as a personal memoir, a legacy for my daugh-

I started it 13 or 14 years ago but really just as a personal memoir, a legacy for my daughters. It was never going to be a book.

ters. It was never going to be a book,” he told YLM. “But people kept prodding me so I got to work again. And I ran it past my twin daughters, who are 24 now, before we published. They weren’t fazed at all by the shenanigans. They have never been interested in the dark side, as it were, but are really envious of us. They are always saying they were born too late!” If you’d like to hear Richard talk about his book, the place to be is Annie’s Books on Peregian on Tuesday, August 5, at 6.30pm. Richard will be “on the footpath”, in conversation with ABC Coast FM’s Mary-Lou Stephens. The event is free but please RSVP to Annie on 5448 2053 – or email anniesbooks@bigpond. com – for catering purposes.

PEOPLE

Santa’s Classy Helper has no thoughts of retirement This is my second Classy Lady fashion boutique. Before I came to Noosa from Kiama in New South Wales nearly 20 years ago I had a shop exactly the same which was called Classy Lady Fashion and Shoes. I’ve had this shop for 18 years. I start work at 6.30-7am and go home 12 hours later. I’m sure my work ethic comes from my father. He was an accountant and he worked with the same company for 72 years. He went to Maris Brothers in Newcastle and one lunchtime, a Brother came to him and said there was an engineering company down the road looking for someone. Dad went for the interview, got the job and started right away. He was 15. At 65 he was given a big retirement party and two weeks later the company rang and asked if he would come back. He did and he stayed ‘til they carried him home from his desk to die. That was four years ago. He loved it. His family and his work were his life. I have no thought of retiring. Clients come from all over Australia. Some even get oﬀ the plane and come straight here before checking in to where they are stay-

ing. I think it’s because it’s a li le different from what they have at home. They can all shop at the big shopping centres but individual boutiques have something that’s different to the shopping centres. What I stock seems to suit age groups from about 40 on. I had a 92-year-old lady in the shop this morning. She was very happy with what she bought. Business has been tough going, especially this week, because we haven’t had a winter. It came too late for fashion. Summer stock is arriving now. I buy the stock myself. I go to Brisbane one day a week to buy from different agents. People often ask if I have any tips for fashion. My best advice is to wear what you’re comfortable in. You also have to like it. If you put something on you don’t like, you won’t wear it and it will hang in the cupboard. It doesn’t ma er what style it is as long as you’re happy in it. This Christmas will be the third birthday for Santa’s Classy Helpers. I have a nephew who is an invalid. I spent one Christmas with him and on the way home I decided I would like to do something for people with children at Christmas who need help. I asked some customers if they would come to a morning tea and bring a Christmas gift and it’s just grown from there. We have a func-

Each month I theme what the products of the month will be - we’ve just had Christmas in July so it was toys. Just before Christmas we take over The J for two days. One day to set it up and the next day for families to come and shop.

Buy in season and local! Buying your fruit and veggies when they are in season means better value-for-money, better quality and more taste. And buying local means you are helping to keep local growers in business! In season now, juicy and sweet, are delicious Queensland oranges. And they are just perfect for both sweet and savoury dishes.

Carrot and Orange Soup Quick and easy, this winter warmer is tasty and great value.

INGREDIENTS ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

Olive oil 1 brown onion, finely chopped 1kg carrots, peeled, coarsely chopped 1L (4 cups) chicken or vegetable stock 1 orange 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves

METHOD Heat a splash of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until soft. Add carrot and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until just soft. Add the stock and bring to the boil. Peel 2 strips of rind from the orange and add to the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes or until carrot is tender. Remove and discard orange rind. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool. Use a stick blender to puree until smooth. Juice the orange and add to the soup, along with salt and pepper to taste. Place back over a medium heat and cook for 2 minutes or until heated through. Top with parsley and serve with fresh crusty bread. For a touch of indulgence, add a dollop of cream just before serving.

Orange and Almond Cake

Not only is this cake incredibly moist but it is also gluten and dairy-free making it perfect for everyone.

INGREDIENTS ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

2 oranges, washed 250g caster sugar, plus extra for dusting 6 eggs 250g almond meal 1 tsp baking powder Icing sugar, to serve

METHOD Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Wash the oranges and cook in the boiling water for 2 hours. Drain, allow to cool to room temperature, then puree. This step can be done ahead of time. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line a 22cm spring form cake tin with baking paper. Beat the eggs and caster until well combined. Stir in the orange puree followed by the almond meal and baking powder. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and dust the top with extra caster sugar. Bake for 1-1¼ hours, until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin. Dust with icing sugar, cut into slices and serve.

TALK

SPLASH OUT WITH A NEW BATHROOM AT HIGHGROVE Last week we found out how to give your kitchen a new lease of life without breaking the bank. This week we’ll check out the latest trends in bathrooms. Kitchens and bathrooms are probably the most expensive rooms in the house to renovate but there are ways around that problem. The secret is find local outlets that offer everything you need at the right price. And when it comes to bathrooms, you can’t beat Highgrove. Highgrove Bathrooms is a genuine, Australian-owned company that sells designer products at wholesale prices. And what’s more, all products come with a best price guarantee so if you happen to find a be er price advertised, Highgrove will beat it. Highgrove Bathrooms offer an extensive range of fixtures and fi ings, from traditional clawfoot baths, all the way up to ultra-modern frameless shower screens and designer tapwear. But unlike most wholesale outlets, Highgrove Bathroom stores incorporate great showrooms and plenty of help and advice

in planning your new bathroom and choosing the right ﬁ ings. What’s more, with Highgrove Bathrooms keeping watch on what’s trending, you can be sure of having the most up-to-date designs.

My aim is to offer greater service to a greater area and save locals having to drive elsewhere for a bargain. Jed Beveridge Highgrove Bathrooms opened in Noosa last year, as part of the company’s expansion across Australia. Owner Jed Beveridge, who has a chain of stores including Noosa, believes you can’t beat Highgrove for value and quality.

“My aim is to offer greater service to a greater area and save locals having to drive elsewhere for a bargain,” he said. “Our mo o is that we offer designer products at wholesale prices and that’s perfect for somebody wanting a designer look without the expensive price tag. “We have three main points of difference from some other stores in that we offer great value-for-money, we carry stock on hand and we have an extremely wide range. “And because we focus on bathrooms we can offer expert advice. “Our website is great for ge ing ideas but then you come into the store and can see and touch the products - far be er than buying online.” So if you’re thinking bathrooms – from a new showerhead to a completely new look – head into Highgrove Bathrooms at Gibson Road, Noosaville, chat to the team and tell them YLM sent you in for a great deal!

Picking the perfect ﬂoor W When it comes to choosing the right flooring for your home, it pays to carefully consider your lifestyle. y For example, do you live near the bea beach? Have you got children? Pets? T These days the home renovator has plenty of choice when it comes to flooring, with everyt everything from polished concrete, tiles and wood to t carpet and vinyl, and you can find it unde one roof at the aptly-named Choices all under Flooring in Noosaville.. A traditional Queenslander- style home best suits wooden floors. If you’re lucky, you can renovate the ones you have but more often than not, time has taken its toll and replacement is necessary. This is easier than you may think, with fixed and floating floors in a great variety of woods, from the palest oak to the richness of brushbox or gum. Remember, some woods are more durable than others so ask your stockist for advice. Nowadays you can also create that beautiful wood finish look using luxury vinyl or laminate. Laminate flooring offers a surface that resists scratches, wear, indentation and stains making it ideal for homes with lots of foot traffic. Luxury vinyl can be used throughout the home, comes in an amazing range of colours and can be laid in sheets, planks or tiles. It can be used to not only replicate wood, but also, whitewashed timber, stones, tiles and marble. Vinyl has the added advantage of being quieter and warmer underfoot. Relatively new in flooring is bamboo. Environmentally friendly and affordable, bamboo is also durable and extremely fashionable right now. Can’t go past carpet? That’s fine as these, too, are much improved. You can still get that luxurious feel, even when choosing some of the great new hard-wearing, stain-resistant choices. Carpet basically comes in four styles – twist, loop, plush and textured. Talk to the experts to decide which is better for your home. When it comes to choosing your new flooring it’s hard to go past Choices. This Australian company has been in business for more than 50 years and stands by its products.

Builder conﬁdence stays strong Building and construction industry confidence held steady in the post Budget period according to Master Builders Australia’s National Survey of Building and Construction for the June quarter 2014. Building activity is set to continue gaining strength on the back of improved confidence in residential building which is the highest it has been for six years in the June quarter of 2008. The Survey’s key indicators show that a good pipeline of work underpins current confidence levels and supports Master Builders forecast that total dwelling commencements will exceed 200,000 by 2017. The strong upturn in residential building continued its gradual translation into improved prospects for commercial construction.

Encouragingly, the green shoots of returning confidence in the commercial construction sector have consolidated with the June quarter survey showing confidence has risen for the second consecutive quarter. Builders’ confidence in the prospects for their own business rose for the fourth consecutive quarter. This is particularly reflective of the residential building sector’s response to low rates and is an encouraging trend indicating industry’s expectation that business activity will continue to rise over the next six months. “The slight easing of business confidence post the Federal Budget highlights the underlying vulnerability of the recovery in building and construction and the need for the Federal Government to implement its Budget repair strategy with the responsible support of the new Senate,” the survey said.

Coast homes worth $74 billion THE VALUE OF SUNSHINE COAST HOMES HAS HIT $74 BILLION, ACCORDING TO THE LATEST PROPERTY DATA RELEASED BY THE REAL ESTATE INSTITUTE OF QUEENSLAND. And the total value of residential real estate in Queensland is set to break through the $800 billion barrier. REIQ head Anton Kardash said Queensland now accounted for more than 15 per cent of the nation’s residential housing, estimated at $5.2 trillion. “Queensland residential housing is more popular than ever with investors, who see an enormous upside as confidence rebounds in the local real estate market,” he said. “The State’s real estate renaissance is reflected by a wide range of indicators, from strong price growth and higher sales volumes to more new housing construction and finance approvals. “Nationally, the value of residential housing has grown to be worth more than superannuation, listed stocks and commercial real estate combined.” Mr Kardash said stronger buyer sentiment and sales activity were helping the Gold Coast and Far North Queensland rebound from the GFC. “Confidence is also returning in North and Central Queensland along with the Southeast, particularly the Sunshine Coast,” he said.
