REAL ESTATE AGENT INDEX

As a child growing up in Maroochydore, the north shore – areas such as Marcoola, Mudjimba and Pacifi c Paradise – seemed so far away. Once the bridge was built over the Maroochy River in the late 80s, it became a lot more accessible, yet the beach shacks in those towns were humble and the streets were generally sans kerb and channelling, making it a quiet and very laid-back area. Over the years, development infi lled the stretch from Maroochydore to Coolum, and the property boom in the early naughties meant the sleepy little towns of Marcoola and Mudjimba were awakened as property investors snapped up beachside homes – with no regard for the aircraft noise that once deterred investors. Th e Sunshine Coast Airport is now earmarked for some big changes, with a masterplan that will result in a new, much larger north-west to south-east runway. So, how will changes to the fl ight paths impact nearby property owners and what kind of aircraft noise can be expected by surrounding residents? Turn to page 6 to fi nd out.

Coolangatta or Cairns, the runway will be a major springboard, enabling links with Asian markets such as India, China and Japan and catering for new generation aircraft such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Th e masterplan also includes aprons, taxiways, another terminal, more car parking facilities and commercial infrastructure to support the projected growth in tourism and the population of the Coast.

What will this mean for local people and property, across the Maroochy North Shore and beyond? According to those behind the plans, the benefi ts are likely to range from surging employment to improved residential

amenity due to redirected aircraft noise. Th e main challenge for Sunshine Coast Regional Council, which owns and manages the airport, is obtaining a big chunk of the $500 million cost from the Federal Government.

Debbie Blumel has personal and professional knowledge of the airport and the council division surrounding it. She lived at Marcoola 10 years ago before moving to Yaroomba, was elected in 2008 to represent that division, and also heads the council’s major projects portfolio, which includes the airport plan.

“I’ve seen the Maroochy North Shore transform from the poor cousin of the Coast

by Julie Gatehouse

to the jewel in the crown, especially in the past two years,” Debbie says. “People in Marcoola, Mudjimba, Pacifi c Paradise, from Twin Waters to Mt Coolum know they’re sitting on fabulous residential property. Th ese are vibrant communities that have faced extraordinary growth pressures and have had to catch up on issues such as traffi c, infi ll and drainage.”

Debbie says three levels of government have been contributing to the rejuvenation of this low-lying coastal strip north of the Maroochy River and east of Sunshine Motorway. One example was the State’s construction of a second bridge over the river and subsequent new and upgraded road, which removed traffi c gridlock around Pacifi c Paradise.

Another was the council winning $3.5 million in federal funding to build a community centre adjacent to the airport. “We’re now selecting the successful tenderer so construction can start before Christmas,” Debbie says. “When the centre opens mid-2011 it will have social and business benefi ts, with meeting rooms for up to 150 people. It will be perfect for ‘fl y in, fl y out’ business meetings.”

Streetscaping is underway as part of a revitalisation project along Suncoast Boulevard to the north, near the SurfAir resort and other accommodation high-rises. Th e aim is to create an attractive, safe, pedestrian- and cycle-friendly village centre. “And that hub will expand as the airport business grows,” Debbie says.

She believes the greater Marcoola area “stands to gain signifi cantly” from the airport’s masterplan, which refl ects the council’s desire to boost investment in aviation and related industries to diversify the Coast’s economy. “Th e council is now studying the sorts of businesses that want to locate near our regional airport,” Debbie says. It expects an infl ux of support services from accommodation to catering and car

When the Sunshine Coast Airport opened in 1961 as a grass landing strip amid cane land at Marcoola,

no one could have anticipated that it would serve a region of 330,000 people, with almost a million passengers a year across the tarmac, and suburbs full of housing to its north, east and south. As the airport approaches its 50th anniversary next year, it has reached a critical stage of implementing a 2007 masterplan to cater for growth.

“With passenger rates among the fastest growing in the country and expected to rise more than four per cent a year to 2027, there will be need for expansion as the airport will quickly approach its operating capacity,” says general manager Peter Pallot. Th ere are more than 70 fl ights a week from the Coast to Sydney and Melbourne on Jetstar, Virgin Blue and Tiger Airways.

Over the past couple of years, passengers, motorists and residents have seen multimillion-dollar government works in and around the airport, which is about fi ve kilometres north of the Coast’s designated CBD, Maroochydore. Th e most recent was a major upgrade of the terminal and departure lounge, doubling the number of retail outlets. Th at followed construction of the North Shore Connection Road linking the airport to the Sunshine Motorway via a new interchange, and the opening of the airport’s new four-lane entrance road called Runway Drive.

A new project is set to elevate the airport into a bigger league. “We’re planning a new, wider runway along an east-west alignment,” Peter says. “With approvals and funding, it’s hoped construction will start in 2016 so the runway can be operational by 2020. Th is will open the door to new domestic, trans-Tasman and international destinations, as well as enhancing our capacity to access freight markets, particularly fresh local produce.”

While it won’t bring the Sunshine Coast in line with supersized regional airports like

rentals. “We want to provide long-term commercial and residential opportunities.”

Th e decision to build a new east-west runway, rather than extend the existing runway parallel to the coastline, was not taken lightly. Th ere was extensive consultation with stakeholders amid public controversy earlier this decade. Some home owners had been worried about the potential for increased aircraft noise and safety issues relating to fl ight paths for the existing runway, previously upgraded to 1800 metres long and 30 metres wide. On the technical side, the north-south runway still couldn’t

handle aircraft larger than the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737.

Debbie says the new runway is the more expensive option but is considered the best long-term solution for both planes and people. It will be 45 metres wide and have a longer take-off distance of 2450 metres from both easterly and westerly directions.

Th is means bigger planes with more passengers fl ying longer routes will be able to touch down on the Sunshine Coast.

However, it also reduces the “aircraft noise footprint”, which means improved liveability and amenity for thousands

of current and future residents. “Th e number of dwellings signifi cantly

aff ected by noise comes down from 2400 to about 600,” says Debbie, adding that more fl ight paths are expected to cross the ocean and cane land instead of housing. “No dwellings will be located in the designated public safety area of the new runway, whereas there are 115 dwellings in the safety area at the northern end of the existing runway.”

She also points to environmental benefi ts. “Th is will give us an opportunity to address land issues surrounding the airport, with the potential to link the coastal dune land from the airport to the Maroochy River and to extend council programs protecting and revegetating parts of the river precinct.”

Potential property investors or residents with questions about future fl ight paths can check with the airport as the masterplan progresses. Peter Pallot says, “Th e project enjoys substantial community support and the same level of engagement and open communication will continue in upcoming phases.”

He says preliminary runway designs should be with the council by Christmas. If a design is approved early next year as expected, the next step will be an environmental impact assessment, which may take up to three years. Buff er zones have already been acquired to achieve biodiversity and open space goals.

“Th is upgrade will help people travel, trade and communicate,” Peter says. “It will improve our overall quality of life and cater for population growth in a major sea-change region.”

Jay Pashley, an owner of North Shore Realty at Marcoola, expects a positive eff ect on the property market as demand increases for housing in an area that is generally still aff ordable but in limited supply.

“Th is airport upgrade will bring a lot of employment to the North Shore, making the collection of low-density, beachside continued over >

villages highly sought-aft er,” he says.“I’d expect to see activity in any of the

suburbs from the Maroochy River to Mt Coolum. Th ere’s a wide variety of housing, from the original beach homes to modern residential estates at Twin Waters around the Novotel resort, the Town of Seaside, Mudjimba.”

Jay says the range of prices suits owner-occupiers and investors.

“You’ve got the rare commodity of absolute beachfront unit developments or a small house in the $400,000s just a block from the sand,” he says.

What about aircraft noise? “It isn’t as big an issue as some think, and the people who look here are aware of it anyway. Living on the North Shore is such an attractive option. People who work interstate can fl y in and be at the beach within 20 minutes of landing.”

Debbie says suburbs like Mudjimba mix a traditional village atmosphere with trendier beachside living. “Th e pressure is on as more people discover these areas,” she says. “Th ey’re buying older, single-storey homes to renovate in that coastal architectural style rather than McMansions. Everyone’s keen to protect the look and feel of the area.”

She expects the airport upgrade to launch a property boom as people seek the convenience of a major transport hub with the lifestyle of the North Shore.

Th e council will send a new submission to Infrastructure Australia (IA) in December, seeking federal funding. IA knocked back last year’s submission for $122 million, despite south-east Queensland’s Council of Mayors including it in a pre-election ‘Magnifi cent 7’ priority list of transport projects considered of national signifi cance. Debbie says the latest submission is stronger and answers IA’s queries about user charges, international passenger forecasts and benefi ts to the nation.

“ It also reduces the “aircraft noise footprint” which means improved liveability and amenity for thousands of current and future residents…

< from overleaf “An analysis by PricewaterhouseCoopers

found a benefi t cost ratio for the project of 3.52, meaning every dollar invested in the project results in $3.52 generated in the regional economy,” she says.

“Th e Sunshine Coast Airport is a strategic asset that contributed almost $470 million in direct expenditure to the regional economy in 2008-2009.”

She says the masterplan will provide social, economic and environmental benefi ts far beyond the Coast, injecting more than

$1.6 billion into the national economy.A spokesman for federal Minister for

Infrastructure and Transport Anthony Albanese tells MPP says the Sunshine Coast Airport plan is not currently on the national priority list, but the council is welcome to put new submissions to IA. “When it comes to investment decisions, the government is guided by advice from that independent body,” he says. “However, the airport is essentially a commercial enterprise and there

is no Commonwealth pool of funding available for that. Th ere are a couple dozen airports around the country owned by councils and they all have diff erent needs.”

Debbie Blumel says the masterplan has been endorsed by the council and will go ahead regardless of the federal submission. “Th e method of funding is what we’re negotiating,” she says. “We say there’s a

Flying facts

The airport directly employs more than 600 people, stimulating the equivalent of 4400 full-time jobs. The new runway and associated upgrade of facilities will create 5300 more jobs, including 2900 post-construction.

The airport upgrade will inject $475 million into the Coast economy annually, dramatically boosting the tourismindustry, which contributes 16 per cent of the region’s annualgross regional product. Currently, about nine per cent of allCoast visitors get here via the airport.

About 1.9 million passengers a year are expectedthrough the airport by 2020.

worthy argument for seeking federal support because of the broader benefi ts to the community which extend beyond the fi nancial benefi ts to equity investors. Sources of capital will be subject to great consideration.” Options could include corporatisation, although Debbie says this is premature while options that betterbenefi t the community are considered.

Have your say on transport The Council drafts transport strategy for the region

Sunshine Coast Regional Council has taken a step towards creating a sustainable, highly effi cient and

safe transport system for the region, by releasing its draft Sustainable Transport Strategy for public comment.

Th e strategy is now available for comment online, as part of the next phase of the Our Place Our Future community engagement program.

Th e strategy highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with increasing public transport use and providing suitable options to service the region well into the future.

Integrated Transport Portfolio holder Councillor Vivien Griffi n says moving towards more sustainable modes of transport is vital to protecting our unique lifestyle.

“At the moment, about 85 per cent of our trips are by private motor vehicle and unless we develop real alternatives for many of our trips, the impacts on our lifestyle, landscape and environment will be signifi cant,” she says.

“As well as this, the economic future of the Sunshine Coast relies on protecting our unique regional economic competitive advantage, which is all about our great lifestyle. We do not want to turn into a congested, second-rate imitation of Brisbane.”

Th e community is invited to have its say on the Draft Sustainable Transport Strategy by sending a detailed submission before 4.30pm, Friday 8 November 2010.

$213 Billion dollars of sales

RP Data’s latest press release states that Australia’s yearly property sales to July equated to $213 billion.

Th is is a 30 per cent increase on the fi ve-year annual sales fi gure of just $165.5 billion in 2005.

Interestingly, Buderim was the top performing suburb across Queensland, with the greatest total value of sales.

Boasting 512 sales over the 12 months to July, and equating to $319,414,049 worth of house sales, Buderim experienced 4.8 per cent growth in house prices over the 12 month period. Buderim was followed by Broadbeach Waters on the Gold Coast, Forest Lake in Brisbane, North Lakes in Moreton Bay and Robina on the Gold Coast.

Across the country, the suburb to record the greatest total value of sales during the year was Sydney’s Mosman, which now holds a median price of $2.1 million. Mosman had 329 house sales during the year which accounted to almost $851 million worth of property transactions.

Buderim is ranked fi rst in the State according to RP Data’s latest fi ndings.

development

First home is up

Anyone taking a drive along Maroochy Boulevard will notice that the very fi rst home in Sunshine

Cove has literally popped up – almost overnight. Th is is the fi rst home to be completed on the multi-hectare development, which is earmarked to form part of the new CBD for Maroochydore.

Sunshine Cove Realty director, Penny Service, says seeing the fi rst home go in to the development is a very exciting time for all of those involved with Sunshine Cove.

“It’s so exciting for everyone andit’s a good step forward for the whole community. Th e fi rst house out here shows a good commitment from our builders and illustrates good foresight into the opportunities that Sunshine Cove presents.”

Th e modular home by Evolve Modular (pictured) was erected in just two days and will be open for viewing, and for sale, in the next couple of weeks, once the fi nal

touches such as electrical and landscaping have been completed. Th e modular home – which to date, is the only one earmarked for Sunshine Cove – occupies one of the 265m2 laneway blocks. Penny says people will love the home as it demonstrates excellent usage of the land size and it has a great lock-up-and-go granny fl at built above the garage.

Penny says Sunshine Cove will be a hive of activity in the coming months, with a number of builders getting ready to pour slabs in the estate, and with activity taking place along Maroochy Boulevard.

“In the coming months, we’ll have people living here, homes under construction, homes open for viewing and the next land release coming through also. Lexus will open for business, Harvey Norman is opening soon – it’s all taking shape and it’s a real step forward for Maroochydore as a community.”

Contact Penny on 0434 006 144 for more information.

Sunshine Cove celebrates the completion of its fi rst home – and it only took two days.

Land and boat offer

Following on from the recent opening of the $4 million multi-sports complex, the developer

of Bli Bli’s Parklakes estate has found a novel way to reinforce the active, outdoor lifestyle that is fast becoming synonymous with living at Parklakes.

To encourage new residents to make the most of the estate’s location in the Maroochy River valley, the developer is off ering a free Stacer 359 Proline tinny and trailer package with all land purchases at Parklakes.

Th e boat package, worth more than $5000, includes a 6hp Yamaha outboard, trailer, tie-downs, registration for both the boat and trailer, and a complete safety package with fl oatation vests, anchor and paddles.

Parklakes spokesman Rob Midgley said the bonus would allow new residents to immerse themselves in the natural environment surrounding their new homes.

Buy a block in Parklakes and score a free tinny and trailer

“We couldn’t think of a better way to say welcome to the neighbourhood than by giving our new residents the opportunity to get outside and enjoy what makes Parklakes so special,” he says.

“At Parklakes, the Maroochy River is on the back doorstep with a choice of four diff erent boat ramps from Dunethin Rock to the Bli Bli Bridge.”

Th e master-planned residential community encompasses more than 80 hectares, with 22 hectares of the estate to remain dedicated green space and parkland. Central to the development is the string of fresh-water lakes, stocked with Australian bass.

Blocks range in size from 450m2 to 1200m2, so there’s plenty of room to park the new boat. Land in the new stage ranges from $219,500 (for an 848sqm2 lot), with house and land options starting at $391,500.

Th is off er is for a limited time only, phone 5450 0300 for more information.

Active at Brightwater

The parks at Brightwater are getting around-the-clock usage, as locals use the facilities to lead a healthy

lifestyle. From early morning joggers and fi tness fans, to young families on picnics and aft er-school play, the community’s parks are popular from sun up to sun down. Th e largest of Brightwater’s current facilities is the community park that has now been open for more than two years, while work is now well under way on the 12-hectare lake with its own foreshore parklands and boardwalk.

Th e Brightwater community has been growing strongly since its launch in late 2008 and is now home to about 175 families. Plans for a new school at the community are also proving to be a hit with young families moving to the popular project. Th e State Government unveiled the plans for the new primary school to help to service the growing number of families now calling the

A new school and more parks are on the agenda

community home. Work on the new Brightwater State School will begin early next year with the fi rst students due to commence in 2012.

Other future facilities planned for the community include a childcare centre, neighbourhood parks, a regional sports fi eld, bus route and a retail precinct.

Stockland’s Regional Manager for the Sunshine Coast, Troy Wainwright, says master-planned communities like Brightwater were designed to cater for today’s lifestyle needs.

“Brightwater has been carefully designed with the needs of families in mind and is certainly suitable for the active outdoor lifestyles of all ages.”

Brightwater has four parks already and will have around 8.8 hectares of parkland once completed.

Th e latest stage features a range of home sites from 349m2 to 712m2 and priced from $238,000. Phone 5444 1333 for more information.

A snapshot of who’s doing what in the industryKick off your shoes for charityMy Property Preview is getting behind a great cause to help ease poverty in Africa. African Equity, is a Brisbane-based charity that sends container loads of goods to Africa. Whilst old TVs, blankets, clothing, linen and working household gadgets are appreciated, it’s the humble shoe that is in hot demand.

Kid’s, ladies’, men’s, sports shoes and boots can actually break the cycle of poverty for African families who resell them, creating sustainable micro businesses. Two containers of shoes will feed, educate and house every one of the 530 children in the charity's Heroes of the Nation orphanage for two years.

Th e sale of just one pair of shoes will buy one family 15kg of maize, enough to feed that family for a week. Th at'd be better than getting $2 for them at your local fl ea market.

Businessman Chris Anderson, who started African Equity several years ago, says the success of the container shipping initiative has been satisfying.

“To have developed this model of aid to the point of self-sustainability is a credit to all involved,'' he says.

“Th e orphanage is making enough money

from the sale of shoes alone to pay for subsequent containers.It has allowed us to expand beyond the HTN orphanage and support thousands of people in new projects around Kenya."

Chris says the shoes are shipped to Africa and, aft er meeting the footwear needs of the orphanage, are sold into the community.

By using this model, we generate hundreds of jobs and give people the chance to develop

their own business

“ “

African Equity is running its Shoes for Food drive now, to donate, place your shoes in a bag and drop them at the PCYC in Youth Avenue, Nambour or for more information, visit www.african-equity.com.

“We get an average of $7 per pair and all the funds go into the projects. Ninety percent of clothing and footwear in East Africa is second-hand and the industry potential is huge,'' he says.

“Simply giving away tens of thousands of shoes would destabilise the economies of hundreds of families. By using this model, we generate hundreds of jobs and give people the chance to develop their own business.

Next pleaseNext Property Group is further expanding, with the recent addition of two new salespeople. Licensed real estate agent, Phill Downey, has joined the Buderim offi ce and brings with him extensive experience in real estate, selling property from Doonan to Maleny and Mooloolaba.

Phill will join the boutique offi ce up on Buderim, while Chris Jones will join fl agship store in Duporth Avenue, Maroochydore. Chris has a successful marketing background, namely with the Oaks group, and has been buying and selling property for the past

two decades.

Black-tie auction by the beachA property in Golden Beach will go under the hammer in style next month, as Henzells Agency host a black-tie auction to correspond with its 75th anniversary celebrations. Th e auction of 45 Th e Esplanade, Golden Beach on November 6 takes place just hours before Henzells Agency celebrate 75 years, with an elaborate charity gala ball.

Marketing agent, Jason Arnott, says that the Henzells staff and auctioneer will be dressed in their best formal attire when they attend the on-site auction, creating a fun atmosphere to pick up a seriously good deal. Jason says the lucky buyer will also score tickets to the highly anticipated and ever stylish ball at the Caloundra RSL later that evening.

“We’re looking at a couple of fi rsts for the Sunshine Coast real estate industry here – fi rst we have the black-tie, beachside auction,

which nobody has done before, and secondly we might get a record price for dinner dance tickets,’’ Jason laughs.

Forty-fi ve Th e Esplanade, Golden Beach is an original beachside cottage with views to the ocean passage, Caloundra and Bribie Island. It was purchased by Sid and Ann Smith for £4,433 in 1959, and was lived in by the couple until 1987. It has since passed into the hands of their extended family, who have enjoyed it as a holiday home for more than 20 years.

“It now off ers the astute purchaser the opportunity to build a dream beach home, renovate or re-develop in a prime position,’’ Jason says.

Th e ‘black tie’ auction will take place on site at 45 Th e Esplanade, Golden Beach on Saturday November 6 at 5.30pm, with prior off ers accepted. Th en it’s off to the ball! Phone Jason 0411 644 864 for more information.

Why rates won’t hit 18%Mal explains why rates won’t rise too high.

by Mal Cayle

If I was a betting man, I’d put money on at least one interest rate rise before the end of the year and three or four in 2011 – and

that doesn’t include what the banks might do. Now that doesn’t sound too exciting

especially if, like me and 90% of Australians, you have a variable interest loan. But it’s not all bad news. Interest rates are adjusted by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to control infl ation and high infl ation means the economy is strong. In turn, a strong economy with low unemployment means we see wages and skilled migration increase, both of which are very good news for property price growth.

For some, this is little concession when each rate hike means paying more to hold a property, and there’s always the unknown of when the rate rises might stop. Th is fear is played on by elements of the media and even some family around the BBQ, who are quick to remind us of the horrors of the high interest rates of the late 1980s.

Th e truth is that the policy mandate, or role of the RBA, as set out by the

Commonwealth Government, has changed over time ensuring that this won’t happen again.

Aft er the extreme infl ationary conditions in the late 1980s, the RBA informally set out to control infl ation by changing interest rates to keep CPI within a 2-3% band (generous by developed nation standards and indicative of our economic strength). Th is policy of ‘infl ation targeting’ was formally agreed to and accepted as a mandate by the RBA in 1996. Since then, the RBA has been able to keep infl ation in check and assist with the stimulus of the economy through the GFC by adjusting rates accordingly.

Th e recent six rate hikes only brought the interest rate back to a ‘normal’ setting, but were enough to stem the rapid rise in national housing prices brought on by low rates and the First Home Buyers Boost.

So while the fundamentals of the property market are strong, it has helped avoid an over-correction of property prices exceeding wage price growth.

Th e average variable interest rate post deregulation of the Australian dollar in 1983, and prior to infl ation targeting, was 12.3%. Th e eff ect of infl ation targeting has meant since the change it has only averaged 7.3%. Of note, minutes of the RBA’s meetings have only been made public since December 2007 so the detailed discussion and understanding around interest rates, the RBA’s role and how they decide to change them or not, is only a new phenomenon. It’s no wonder most people still don’t understand the extent of the change and the steadying infl uence it has on our nation’s interest rates.

So while it’s important to understand the impacts on our budgets and cash fl ow by interest rate changes, we have no need to fear the sensationalist’s stories about a return to the 1980sand can instead think about the many benefi ts that come with living in the lucky country – like the opportunity to own and invest in property.

Th e opportunity to invest in two central waterfront properties was on off er in Lake Court on Saturday aft ernoon, with numbers 4 and 6 going under the hammer with Ken Guy Mooloolaba. According to marketing agent Nigel Forbes, potential buyers had the chance to either snap up both three-bedroom properties in one sale, or buy them individually. About 30 people inspected both homes before assembling near the pool in the backyard of number 4. Before opening bidding, auctioneer Rob Keam of Ken Guy Mooloolaba noted the quiet cul-de-sac position and wide water views as drawcards for owner-occupiers and savvy investors alike. He also told the crowd to look across the river to the new Sunshine Cove development and to consider the potential future growth of the area. Th ere were four registered bidders in the crowd and Nigel says that although there was no sale under the hammer, he’s currently dealing with some good post-auction interest. “We’re talking to several potential buyers right now,” he says, adding that he’s confi dent both properties will be sold soon. “Most of our enquiry has been coming from local people

who want to get onto the water.”

Although 78 Maroochy Waters Drive didn’t sell at auction on Saturday morning, marketing agent Jessica Henry of Go Gecko Maroochydore says there was some very early post-auction interest. “We actually had two more groups inspect the property privately just a couple of hours aft er the auction,” she says. Th is was in addition to the 15 groups who assembled in the undercover outdoor area overlooking the pool to watch auctioneer Colin Street in action and admire the water views. Jessica says the four-bedroom property, which off ers 880 square metres of waterfront living, is now on the market and ready for any buyers who want a beautifully-presented home in a central Maroochydore location. “We’re under strict instructions from the vendors for buyers to submit all off ers, and we’ll go from there,” she says.

UNDERCONTRACT

Marketing agent Brendon Symons says that the three-bedroom home at 14 Braemar Road was under contract three days after last weekend’s auction. “The buyers are renting in the area – they’ve just moved up from Victoria,” he says. This meant they weren’t put off by last Sunday’s wild weather and attended the auction before signing a contract last Wednesday.

Hi Trevor & Glenys,

After having my home for sale for many months and trying several

Agents, it was you who persisted and got me results.

Many Agents told me all sorts of wonderful things and made

many promises but never delivered. I spent thousands of dolla rs with

another Agent with very little result, not an offer, no inspections.

I always felt you were very truth

ful with me, communicated with

me constantly and on the day of my Auction, made me feel

comfortable and at ease.

As a single woman I felt extremely trusting that you w

ere doing

the right thing by me, unlike some other Agents.

I thank you for the result in these ve

ry diff icult economical time.

K indest regards,

TANAWHA 4 2 4

MPP’s hinterland reporter heads overseas to check out how the property market is fairing in the Texan hill country.

by Pauline Clayton

Housing in the hill country

Actor Robert Duvall was here just a few weeks ago, along with Lucas Black, fi lming the movie Seven

Days in Utopia.Over lunch at Joe’s café (one of three,

in this Texas, US, hill country town), I spoke with long-time local realtor Nancy Th ompson Westerfi eld.

You may wince when I report that she just sold a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 13 acres, that was fenced, with a sealed and county-maintained road, city water plus a private well, for $US167,500 down from the asking price of $US175,000.

Admittedly it is a ‘double-wide’ relocatable home, and therefore cheaper than a custom-built house, but step inside one with a built-in stone fi replace and a Jacuzzi and it is impossible to tell the diff erence.

Th e economic downturn has hit the Texas

property market hard, resonating through to the hill country, which resembles the Sunshine Coast hinterland in so many ways.

Many of the ranches are still owned by the sons and daughters of the ‘old’ or original settler families.

If there is any cutting up of the acreage, it is most oft en to pass on a section to a son or daughter. But since the mid 1960s, some ranches have been sold and developed.

Others have been converted into guest accommodation, many off ering the John Wayne experience with riding trails, chuck-wagon cookouts and campfi res.

Others are geared for the nature experience, with hiking through the heavily forested hills and valleys, rich in wildlife, which includes rattle snakes and mountain lions along with the gentle deer and smaller

One of the largest developments I drove through, the 3000-acre B&R Ranch, ranges from

100-acre lots down to fi ve acres

cuddly critters, squirrels and rabbits. Here the county and state allows for acreage to be cut up into lots as small as fi ve acres. But this has not led to a clutch of tightly packed housing estates. To the contrary, such is the freedom of choice of lot size, developers design their plans to suit a variety of buyers. One of the largest developments I drove through, the 3000-acre B&R Ranch, ranges from 100-acre lots down to fi ve acres with every conceivable size in between.

In the early days of rural-residential development in the Texas hinterland, all a developer had to do was hand draw a plan and hand it over to a licenced surveyor to tidy up for the county commissioner for approval.

Each lot owner had to give the county a 15-foot easement to create a 30-foot roadway.

Nancy has several of these original plans on the wall in her offi ce, and they remain an accurate representation to this day.

Not much has changed, except now the county demands a minimum 40-foot road easement to include drainage.

Current property listings range from $US14,000 an acre for river frontage down to $US6000 in the valley and

the ranges of Edwards Plateau and the Balcones Escarpment.

With 40 years’ experience selling real estate in the region, Nancy defi ned the three types of people who buy property in the hill country of Bandera and Uvalde County, Texas.

“Th ere are the newcomers who move here for the lifestyle,” she says. “Th ey want just a few acres so they can get back to the simple life. Th ey want a milk cow, a vegie garden and fresh spring water from the well.

“Th en there are those who have a busy city life, and buy a tract here to spend some leisure time going bush to watch the wildlife or hunt.

Time to party

It’s a good idea

to start with a focal point – such

as a pool table,

a bar or fi replace

- and work

other areas

of the room

from that

Turn your tired formal living room or underused media space into a party room and spend summer entertaining.

Why should the kids in the household be the only ones with a rumpus room? If you feel

like injecting some summer fun into the home, it’s easy to construct a party room and, if you need to, convert it back to a more formal living area once you’ve had your fi ll. Here are MPP’s top tips for creating a party room with style at your place.

Get readyBefore choosing which room to convert into your party spot, remember that the best party rooms have easy access to the bathroom. It’s best to choose a room with a higher than standard ceiling height so your guests won’t feel hemmed in, and if the room has easy fl ow to an outside deck or patio, all the better so the party can spill outside. Once you’ve chosen the spot, have a look around the room and pick out pieces that you already have that can be used in your new party room. Th at antique sideboard, expensive couch and those breakables should be moved aside, but keep the sturdy items.

Section it outMake a map of the room and think about the kind of space you want to create. It’s a good idea to start with a focal point – such as a pool table, a bar or fi replace – and work other areas of the room from that. Party rooms should have diff erent areas for people to mingle, so think about

the furniture arrangement to encourage people to come together for a chat.

Vertical limitEvery party room needs a feature wall in a bright, fun colour. More lively colours are emerging for spring/summer 2010 and popular hues include sunfl ower yellow, sky blue, rich plum and clay red. Th ese look great in any room, so even if you turn your party room back into something more formal six months down the track, the feature wall can stay. You’ll need to think about a theme for your room and refl ect this in things like memorabilia on the wall. Channel your inner 15-year-old with posters, road signs, oversized photos or anything else meaningful to you that you want to display with pride.

Stand by meAdult rumpus rooms demand practical fl ooring. Carpets and plush rugs can be easily damaged by overzealous partying (or even trip up you and your guests), while tiles may become slippery, especially aft er a spill. A great party room fl ooring is inexpensive vinyl – it’s a bit more forgiving than hard tiles but still easy to clean. Th e classic chequerboard design is a great fun choice. If you’re thinking that your party room will be a temporary aff air, choose a fl ooring that will last the distance – timber fl ooring is great for this – cover with inexpensive rugs to protect it if you’re worried about damage.

On the tableWhen choosing furniture for your space, think about comfort and maintenance. Avoid tables with sharp corners, and couches and chairs in light colours that will show up spills. Comfortable and durable outdoor furniture is ideal, even for indoors,

as it is easy to clean aft er the party has wrapped up. Or if the furniture is to be used only when parties are in progress, choose chairs and tables that fold away to store when you don’t need them. Th ink back to your room’s theme and choose furniture appropriate to this style – whether it’s retro ’80s fun, cool Happy Days-inspired, tropical, colourful or blokey. Match the colour of furniture and soft furnishings back to your walls.

Electric dreamsWhen lighting your space, too much is not enough. Mix up your lights, while you want a well-lit area, a washout from a strong overhead fl uorescent bulb, for example, won’t set a party mood. A mix of soft party lights with a couple of table lamps and fl oor lamps is much more fl attering. Also use lights to highlight various areas but keep away from the dance fl oor – this is a spot that should be kept a little in the dark. Colourful party lights and inexpensive fairy lights are not just for Christmas. A string of fairy lights can help defi ne the space as well as adding illumination and character.

Let me entertain youA ping pong or pool table is usually enough for an adult rumpus room, but if you’re into your retro toys, consider a jukebox, a pinball machine, karaoke machine and some old arcade games, dotted around the room, to encourage your guests to have fun.

While music makes a party, you still want your guests to be able to chat when they’re not having a boogie. Ensure you keep your speakers by the dance fl oor, away from the couches. And while a TV isn’t a bad idea in a party room, it can actually be a distraction, pulling your guests’ attention away from the conversation. So keep the TV off unless you’re hosting a sporting party.

summer 2010 and popular hues include sunfl ower

yellow, sky blue, rich plum and clay red

“

“Fed and wateredWhile every party needs refreshments, it’s not necessary to have a full-blown bar in your rumpus room, though if you can squeeze on in, go for it. A few tables dotted around the place where you can set out food and a few buckets to keep the beer cold is enough. It’s also a good idea to place a few bins around the room so your guests have somewhere to dispose of their old napkins and bottles. Remember, the best party rooms are a refl ection of you – they should be bright, fun, set up to encourage mingling, and easy to change around when you change your mood.

retirement

This year, the fi rst of the baby boomers will be turning 65. Th is means that in the coming years, more and more

people will be leaving the workforce and heading into retirement.

In the past, those who were facing retirement oft en marked this change in lifestyle with a change in abode, selling up the family home and making the sea or tree change to smaller digs and retirement villages. So what will happen when a wave of baby boomers move into this phase of their lives?

Compared with the generations that went before them, baby boomers are more educated, more opinionated and more demanding consumers who will require much more from their retirement experience than their predecessors did. While previous generations of retirees lived frugally into their pension years, many in this generation will not – they

have money, and they are happy to spend it, even if it means their generation X and Y children miss out on the inheritance. Th ey have worked hard and they want to enjoy the fruits of their labours, by travelling, eating out, keeping active and staying connected to those they love.

Not every retiree wants the sea or tree change (or can aff ord it – while many baby boomers will enjoy a fi nancially rewarding retirement, not all are cashed up), and in the future we’ll be seeing more retirees stay in the family home, rather than moving into retirement villages. Earlier this year, demographer Bernard Salt wrote in Th e Australian newspaper that baby boomers who choose to stay in the family home will need help from the property industry and their local councils. “Th e real opportunity for the property industry in the coming decade is not building retirement or nursing homes

(that’s a trend for 2020s),” he wrote. “Th e real opportunity in the short to medium term in mass-market residential property will be alterations and additions that enable baby boomers to age in place.”

For those involved in providing retirement accommodation, there are many challenges for the future. Less predictable than their predecessors, it will be baby boomers themselves who dictate what their retirement accommodation will include. Th ey will want to remain active and engaged with the people and places they are connected to. A round of tennis and a dip in the pool will perhaps not be enough for many in this generation in their retirement. While they have left the workplace, many baby boomers will still want to engage with others,

using their skills to help other people and organisations in volunteer work. Back at home, baby boomers will not be shy about complaining if a facility or service is not up to scratch in aged-care accommodation. If they do choose retirement accommodation over the family home, this generation of retirees want to live in villages that are sophisticated, that off er cafes, shops, gyms and amenities in a location that suits their existing lifestyle. Villages and retirement accommodation providers will have to respond to the demand.

But this real opportunity for developers and those involved in the property industry – builders, renovators and designers – is perhaps in modifying and updating the family home to suit the baby boomers well into their elderly years.

While much focus is on the baby boomer generation and what choices they will make in retirement, the Sunshine

Coast’s retirement villages are brimming with active retirees from the generation before.

Laguna Estate is a retirement village based in Noosa and off ers self-contained villas and serviced apartments. Activities and facilities that draw retirees to the location include the friendly, close-knit community, medical services and security, pools and activities, and the proximity to services and the natural beauty that makes Noosa a drawcard for visitors from around the country and the world.

Ken Burley is 84 and has been a Laguna resident for 17 years. Ken is originally from Brisbane and worked as a bank manager before he retired in 1982. He enjoyed playing golf and tennis aft er retirement before he and his wife realised they wanted to move into a retirement village. “We looked around at various villages before we selected this one,” Ken says. “It’s convenient to shopping and the

because “my knee has gone”, he is involved in Laguna’s offi ce, taking an active part in the fi nancial sub-committee. “I enjoy playing around with numbers and spreadsheets. It’s important to keep the brain active.”

Ken’s very happy with the move. And for him Noosa is still close enough to Brisbane that his two daughters, who still live in the capital, can regularly visit.
