REAL ESTATE AGENT INDEX

As a child, my parents built a number of gorgeous new homes on the Coast. Some were family homes for us to live in and others were spec homes in new estates, just like the one they built in a newly developed estate in the late eighties called Mountain Creek. When it came to designing the houses, my parents were quite ahead of their time, opting for large open-plan living zones (which were in stark contrast to the boxed-in living zones at the time), raked timber ceilings, exposed beams, indoor gardens, split levels and angular roofl ines. Th ese homes were jaw-droppingly beautiful and avant-garde which made them well loved by anyone who ventured indoors, yet when it came time to sell the homes, they would spend longer on the market than their three-bedroom, brick-and-tile counterparts. It would appear that most people opt for ‘safe’ designs when buying property. Our cover story on page four looks at how to create and build homes that incorporate timeless and classic architecture. As for me, I prefer something a little left of centre. Must have something to do with my upbringing.

more than 25 years, says there are key factors he tries to ensure are featured in the designs he creates for his clients.

“Th e best thing you can do for a timeless and classic home is to ignore trends,” he says. “Th e key components which are central to good design are human interest, culture, space, lighting, how to pay respect to the land and make the land work for you.”

Director of Sprout Architects, Anthony Robinson, agrees that certain key features can ensure the design of a house will remain contemporary and complementary to its surroundings as trends and fashions change

Timeless architectureHow do you design a home that not only refl ects your personality, but is also timeless and appealing to future buyers? MPP asks the experts to create the perfect Coast home.

over the years. “For me, the three keys to good design are aspect and orientation, materials [using materials that are low in cost to maintain] and to go back to the age-old and simple rule of using natural products [glass, steel, stone and timber] throughout,” Anthony says.

It’s true that some things never go out of fashion, while other features and materials have their moment and then return to popularity many years later as trends hark back to previous times.

In Queensland, and of course, on the Coast, a good example of this is the rise in popularity of louvre windows. Originally used in Queenslander houses as the most effi cient method of maximising airfl ow into the building, the visual appeal and fl exibility of louvres is right back on trend with new designs, but they never really went out of fashion – even when air-conditioning became available to domestic customers.

Sustainability is the buzzword of the moment and architects such as Roger and Anthony are fi nding ways to ensure the houses they design are as energy-effi cient as possible and have a minimal impact on the environment in terms of the materials used.

Louvre windows play a key role in achieving this in many designs, while also looking stylish and surprisingly modern for something that has been a feature of Queensland houses for more than 100 years.

“Th e design of the Coast all stems back to the post-war architecture of our beach houses – fi bro, simplistic, no set boundaries or fences and all centred on outdoor living and having fun when at home,” Roger says. “Th ey were basic structures that were just there to put a roof over our heads when not out and about. Th ey were low maintenance and used the materials they could fi nd or that were around.

“Th e current design of Coast homes can be linked back to this. We’re getting back to basics and we’re really taking environmental aspects on board. Our homes take the best of both the classic beach homes and old Queenslanders.”

Even new houses built from stone, brick or even metal are still taking design cues

The best thing

you can do for

a timeless and classic

home is to

ignore trends

There’s something distinctly personal about contracting an architect or interior designer to create the home

of your dreams. It’s your opportunity to put a piece of yourself into one of the biggest investments you will ever make to create the ultimate refl ection of your personality.

But what happens if you decide to sell the house further down the line? Will that quirky piece of your personality refl ected in the brash entry statement wall appeal to the average home buyer? Or will potential buyers be put off before they even consider visiting the open house?

Designing the house that you want while creating a design that prospective buyers will also want when it comes to selling is a careful balancing act, and it’s a problem more and more local architects are fi nding solutions to for their clients.

As architect-designed houses become more prominent on the Coast, the importance of creating individual designs that will not only appeal to a wide range of future buyers, but also stand the test of time, is also growing.

from those classic wooden houses that are synonymous with many of our long-established suburbs and, of course, childhoods.

But as times change and those suburbs grow, more and more new houses can be found dotted between those original Queenslanders and fi bro houses, and the ability to design a house that complements others around it is also something to bear in mind, Roger says.

Take a walk through the back streets of Moff at Beach, for example, and you will fi nd some beautiful old beach houses that have

“Architecture is all about creating an illusion. If you can make people think that it is a wooden deck, or a proper stone wall – all without paying for it – so much the better.”

When it comes to selling that house you have put so much of yourself into, while ensuring it remains contemporary and with broad appeal, furniture and decor are also key to creating that overall look.

Th ere is no point ensuring the structure looks good and is functional if the furniture and decor inside don’t complement it and continue the theme.

Interior designer Mark Gacesa spends a lot of time helping clients ensure their house looks as good as possible for marketing purposes. His general approach refl ects the ideals and designs the architects put into the buildings that contain them.

“Th e word ‘trends’ is really a marketing word that makes a consumer go, ‘ooh listen to that, we must do that’, ” Mark says. “But design, good design, is about [meeting] a client’s needs and what they want out of a space.”

company Ultraspace, Mark sticks to similar key principles to those used by Anthony and Roger. While his work is done on a less permanent level to the buildings that contain it, Mark is still quick to point out the importance of creating the right look that not only appeals to the client and refl ects their personality, but also accentuates the spaces of the house and entices potential buyers when the house is placed on the market.

“Th e staples to good design are neutrals, defi nitely,” Mark says. “I also love using texture to add to a space and not just because you have to fi ll a wall. Wallpaper [that is classic-looking] is a great way to enhance a space or room.

“Lighting can make or break a project. Light can create drama through the use of LED, colour in the right way and where it’s positioned to enhance, or draw attention to key design features of a home. Natural light is also a big component of a well-designed home – if tastefully and skilfully done it will create drama that then creates focal points.”

maintained their street appeal while sitting between contemporary, rendered-brick or stone buildings that still look like an important part of the overall aesthetic.

“I like to have a basic palette, so furniture, which can be moved or placed easily, is the personality and the building is a timeless classic,” Anthony says. “Patterns over time fade and cladding styles do come and go.

“While the purists won’t agree with me, there is also a great use for artifi cial materials – they oft en look the same but they are easier to maintain and actually add value to a home because they cost less and are easy to maintain. Th ey are carbon neutral, cost-eff ective and oft en at times easier to work with and install. Th ey are more fl exible.

Out of all of this there is still vast scope for individuals to put their own spin on things to create a space they can feel a part of, but that also feels like a part of them. Making that appeal more wide-ranging for the purpose of selling the house can be tricky, but Mark says it’s certainly achievable.

“Each individual has their own personality and tastes, which is great, otherwise it would be so boring,” he says. “When you try to appeal to the masses [when selling your property], it’s hard to pinpoint a design that will appeal to everyone. However, you can use neutral design palettes and have a couple of smaller bold statements – or let the furniture speak for your personality.

“But remember, not everyone else will like what you like. You need to be clever and bring out key points of the home – the key features – that don’t repel but get a general, ‘ooh that’s nice’. ”

So what are the things to avoid when it comes to designing your own home with an

architect and what things that add value to a property while remaining timeless and functional at the same time?

“Th e key to trends is don’t follow them if you want a timeless piece,” Anthony says. “Keep it simple and work on a basic palette that refl ects the site. We really set about building a design that suits the client and the functionality of the build dictates the form of the building.

“Th e worst trend I’ve seen is the use of parapets – where the windows don’t have a proper covering. It’s usually where people have tried to build as much of the fl oor space they can. It makes for a hard house to live in as they have to close the windows every time it rains. Th ey lose cross-ventilation and can’t

take advantage of breezes, sunlight and such.”Roger agrees that simple is eff ective, but it

needs to be done right, while at the same time building a house that will save the owners money long-term by reducing heating and cooling costs, and water usage.

“Good designers are here for the long haul,” he says. “We need to look at the life cycle of a property and saving money as well as energy. Th e best designer makes the most of what they have got.

“It’s like cooking. If you are given good-quality ingredients and make a beautiful meal there isn’t much of a challenge there. If you are giving second-rate ingredients and you cook a brilliant meal that tastes brilliant, then you have succeeded and done a great job.

“It’s the same principles with designing a classic and timeless home.”

There is no point ensuring the structure looks good and is functional if the furniture and decor inside don’t complement it and

Mortgage checklistA commitment the size of a mortgage calls for some thorough preparation, writes Jessica Ainscough.

Get educated

Complete the correct paperwork

Be honest

Buying a home is one of the biggest fi nancial decisions you will ever have to make. While it’s

an exciting step to take, it can also be daunting – especially if you are not well prepared for the process. We’re here to give you a little advice to take some of the fear away from jumping into a mortgage. Use this checklist to empower yourself to make the right decision before signing on the dotted line.

Gather information and familiarise yourself with the basic types of loan packages available. Read through them to assess whether they meet your requirements.

Fill out all of the forms and get all the necessary documents in order as soon as possible to ensure your loan application can be approved quickly. Your lender needs time to assess your documents and conduct credit checksto ensure your suitability.

Honesty is the best policy. If you aren’t upfront about your existing fi nancial commitments it will only make it harder to get the loan and increase the likelihood of the contract falling over.

Now that you have pre-approval for your loan you can place a contract on your dream property. Just ensure you have a fi nance clause worked into the contract. Pre-approval speeds up the process when it comes time to get fi nance, ensuring that your 14-day fi nance clause isn’t breached.

Find the perfect matchYou need to fi nd a loan that will meet your personal requirements. A reputable lender can explain the benefi ts and features of diff erent loan types, which will allow you to compare products and fi nd one that suits your needs.

Fees and chargesMake sure you understand all the fees that apply for the life of the loan. Consider the lender’s comparison rate – an independent calculation that recognises all applicable fees and charges, enabling the comparison of similar products.

Pre-approval done

Word on the street

Sunshine Coast Regional Council is working to fi nalise a revised concept plan for the Suncoast

Boulevard streetscape project in Marcoola to open the way for construction next year. Th e completed master plan is expected to be approved by the council in early 2011.

Division 8 and Major Projects portfolio Councillor Debbie Blumel says the streetscape concept design is in the fi nal stages of planning following extensive community consultation.

“Council approval will allow the fi ve-year program to move to the next stage with the fi rst construction works expected to start in mid 2011,” Debbie says.

“Th e streetscape project will create an attractive, safe and connected coastal village centre, which will be a focus for community and tourist activities and which encourages and

The council moves to implement a streetscape plan for the Marcoola community.

promotes social gatherings, public events and activities.

“Th e project will create a terrifi c shady, beachside atmosphere with gardens and meeting areas with unique, creative seating for residents

and visitors. Th e changes to the area will also give priority to pedestrians and cyclists through traffi c-calming devices and improved pedestrian crossings.

“Stage one involves construction of a roundabout at Rex Terrace with

pedestrian refuges to provide safer crossing of David Low Way andthe introduction of native trees, shrubs and ground covers overthe streetscape area.

“Stage two involves closure of the Lexie Street intersection to create a village square complete with grassed areas, pedestrian seating, shade trees, artworks and new parking areas.

“Th e fi nal stage is the creation of a roundabout at Wayne Avenue and Warana Way with improved pedestrian access and new planted and landscaped areas.”

Th e council’s fi ve-year provisional budget was increased last June from $360,000 to $2.2 million to implement the works, while $900,000 has been provisionally allocated in the 2011/12 capital works budget with a further $600,000 in 2012/13, $500,000 in 2013/14 and $100,000 in 2014/15.

Council approval will allow the fi ve-year program to move to the next stage with the fi rst construction works expected to start

in mid-2011

laid the foundations for an aff ordable future by launching the Sunshine Coast Aff ordable Living Strategy. Council’s Social Strategy Portfolio holder and Housing Aff ordability Taskforce chair Councillor Anna Grosskreutz says the launch of the strategy demonstrates the council’s commitment to creating a liveable and sustainable region.

“We want to create a region where everyone is welcome and can aff ord to live here – no matter the income level,” says Anna. “Th e strategy tackles aff ordability and sustainability through the concept of aff ordable living by ensuring there are diverse and aff ordable housing choices, that dwellings are resource-effi cient and supported by services, employment opportunities and by great social places.

“Self-suffi cient and diverse communities with strong business centres and good access to jobs, where people can walk or catch public transport, complete the mix we need to have truly aff ordable communities.”

Safety fi rstEvery pool owner must now comply with tougher new pool safety laws.

Pool owners have until November 30, 2015 to comply with the new pool safety standards, or earlier if their property is sold or leased before then. If you are selling a property with a non-shared pool before the fi ve-year phase-in, such as pools for houses or townhouses or units with their own pool or spa: • A pool safety certifi cate must be

obtained before settlement of a contract, or

• A notice of no pool safety certifi cate– form 36 issued before contract and before settlement advising the buyer that a certifi cate must be obtained within 90 days of settlement.

The pool safety standards apply

to all pools associated

with houses, units,

hotels, motels,

backpacker hostels,

caravan parks, mobile

van parks and other

forms of short-term

accommodation

In October, My Property Preview brought you news of new pool safety laws that were coming

into eff ect. Now they are here. As of December 1 this year, all existing and new pools must now comply with the laws that aim to reduce the incidence of drowning and serious injury to young children – sadly, drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged one to four in this state.

Laws that apply to existing pools:• A pool safety certifi cate, issued by

a licensed pool safety inspector, is required when selling, buying or leasing a property with a pool (pool safety certifi cates are valid for one year for a shared pool and two yearsfor a non-shared pool).

• Th e pool safety standards apply to all pools associated with houses, units, hotels, motels, backpacker hostels, caravan parks, mobile van parks and other forms of short-term accommodation.

• Both new and existing pools must be upgraded to comply with the new safety standards within fi ve years or earlier if sold or leased before then.

• All swimming pools need to beincluded on the state-based pool safety register by May 4, 2011.

• Safety barriers are mandatory for allportable pools and spas deeper than 300 millimetres.

If you are leasing your property, a poolsafety certifi cate must be obtained before entering into the lease. If you are selling or entering into an accommodation agreement (for example a lease or hotel stay) for a property with a shared pool associated with short-term accommodation, such as hotels, motels, backpackers or hostels, you have a six-month phase-in period to obtain a pool safety certifi cate.

If you are selling or entering into an accommodation agreement for units and townhouses with a shared pool or spa, there is a two-year phase-in period to obtain a pool safety certifi cate.

We have it too good

We are defi nitely the ‘lucky country’, yet we shouldn’t let it allow complacency to creep in.

I was recently in South Africa and in discussions around the Australian property market a common question was, “Why don’t more Australian’s invest in property?” (According to the Australian Tax Offi ce, only about 7.7 per cent of the population are property investors with only 25 per cent of those holding two or more properties.) My response was, “We have it too good.”

False sense of security Its been my experience that many people in Australia believe that the Government pension and their superannuation won’t be suffi cient to support their lifestyle in retirement, yet few ever take real action to do something about it. We’re not taught wealth creation strategies in school and the government ‘safety nets’ have created a false sense of security, reducing our motivation to focus on creating wealth from a young age. We don’t live behind razor wire and electric fences or have to ensure our movements in our daily lives are based around minimising our exposure to high levels of crime and violence, so there is little to cause us to take real stock of our lives.

As the lucky country we have had 16 years of strong economic growth leading to the GFC and were the only advanced economy not to have a recession, so there is an entire generation under 40 who don’t

really know what tough economic times look like. It’s no wonder complacency has crept in.

The time is now During my trip, the vast majority of South Africans I spoke with all understand their position in life and their strategies for creating wealth. Th ey are also keenly aware of their political environment, and understand the context of their currency in the global market. Th eir environment has caused them to be a forward looking and entrepreneurial people.

Interestingly, they look at the stability of Australia and its long-term growth prospects as a low-risk place to invest, particularly now given the challenges in Europe and the US. Yet, despite our prosperity, few Australians are retiring today with the capacity to maintain their standard of living. Generally, we don’t give more than a cursory thought about security in our retirement until far too late in life. Th ankfully, we’re not forced to by the environment in which we live, but maybe we should take a leaf out of the book of those who are.

With Australia entering another phase of growth and sound fundamentals underpinning our property market, today is as good a day as any to start working towards real wealth and security in retirement.

Around 30 people attended the auction of 101 Nicklin Way on Saturday aft ernoon, and according to marketing agent Beverley Kelly of Professionals Kawana, most of them were savvy local investors who can see potential in the three-bedroom home’s highly visible location. “It’s the perfect spot for a home-based business, either now or a few years down the track,” she says. “I also don’t think the buyer will have any trouble renting it out.” Beverley and fellow agent Trish Kelly were kept busy registering fi ve bidders on the day, and auctioneer Rob Horne quickly took an opening bid of $250,000 from one punter. Beverley says the home was passed in on a vendor bid of $310,000, and she and Trish are currently working with three

very interested parties.

Saturday morning’s auction of 353 Blackall Range Road took place in a more picturesque setting than usual, with auctioneer Steve Turner of Platinum Properties addressing the small crowd, which included one registered bidder, from in front of the 11-acre property’s private fi shing lake. As well as a stunning, modern Queenslander-style home with a French Provincial-inspired kitchen, 17-metre lap pool and expansive timber decks, the property also features two fenced acres for livestock and plenty of fruit trees, making it the ideal retreat for a family looking for some privacy. “It really is a beautiful hinterland home,” marketing agent Jared Young says, adding that although the property was passed in on the day, he already has one off er on the table and is expecting another one soon. “Th e vendor is extremely

motivated, so we’re seeking all further off ers as well,” he says.

HINTERLAND

Kenilworth is one of those tiny hinterland towns you hope will remain a secret.

With its country charm, its quiet sophistication, and the fact it lies in the heart of the lush Mary Valley, Kenilworth has the potential to suff er the fate of being loved to death by tourists. But right now it is delightful, with a main street that doesn’t look all that much diff erent from photographs from the 1930s.

Being ‘undiscovered’ has meant the town hasn’t been ‘trendied up’ and the original single-storey buildings (newer ones dating back to the 1950s) have, and continue to be, restored rather than ripped down and rebuilt to cater for the tourist market. Th is is a sit-down and have a chat over cakes with fresh cream kind of town.

At the Kenilworth Bakery and Coff ee Shop, baker Francesca

Monteleone makes melt-in-your-mouth cakes and daughter Francine reveals her mother oft en makes special recipes for regular customers.

Francesca and her husband Joe jealously guard the traditional bread recipes, passed on to them by previous owner Ellis Minter who had customers as far afi eld as Melbourne. Th eir pasties and sausage rolls are made by hand, on site.

Established nearly 100 years ago as Tanner’s General Store, and later converted into a bakery, the small, original wood-fi red oven remains tucked into the back wall of the cafe.

At the southern end of the main street is Kenilworth Country Foods, which is modestly listed as a cheese, yoghurt and ice-cream factory.

Anyone in the industry will tell you that this little factory produces some of the fi nest cheeses in the

The secret’s outMPP has discovered the delights of quiet Kenilworth.

Publican Steven Conway, from Sydney’s western suburbs, bought the Kenilworth Hotel three years ago, and with his wife and three children settled into what he calls “a much better lifestyle”.

“It’s still a busy life, as there’s always work

to be done on a 70-year-old pub, but it is better for the kids, better for us, and very diff erent from Sydney,” he says. “Th e people here are friendly. Th ey are better people.”

commercial property

Two prime commercial spaces in Minyama sell at auction.

Double result for Savills

Two strata-tiled commercial offi ces in Noel Burns House at Minyama sold under the hammer at auction on

November 11. Marketing agent Jason O’Meara from Savills says lot 17, a 75-square metre offi ce, sold for $265,000 on the day, while lot 7, a 65-square metre offi ce, sold for $225,000 under the hammer.

Both buyers were locals who are owner-occupiers – one offi ce will host

a fi nancial planning business, while the other, an insurance agency.

Jason says the auctions resulted in a great outcome. “Th e attraction was the exposure and good signage to Nicklin Way and the other factor was they were completely fi tted out. Th ey just needed a splash of paint and they were ready to go. Plus the marina views – it’s a pretty good view out the back.”

Feeling cluckyThe basics of keeping chooks

.indd 1 11/30/2010 4:25:18 PM


cover story

by Jemma Pearson

Winging itIt’s a great time to make some new additions to your family, by adopting a few chooks for your backyard.

There’s been a recent resurgence of home owners interested in keeping chooks in the backyard, and why not?

Chooks are great pets, provide eggs and eat your scraps. But if you’re daunted by the idea of keeping a few birds at your place, you shouldn’t be. While it takes a little more work than simply buying a couple of birds, popping them in the backyard and waiting for the fresh eggs to come fl ooding in, keeping chooks as pets is not that diffi cult.

Play by the rulesSunshine Coast Regional Council regulations on keeping animals other than dogs and cats (and that includes poultry) vary depending on where you live. If you live in the Caloundra area, you can keep up to 20 birds, provided you stick to some rules concerning where and how they are

While your

housed. In the Maroochy area there are similar rules to keeping poultry, though you need a licence to keep more than 10 birds. In the Noosa area you can’t have any more than six chooks. Check with the council about the rules that apply to your area.

Doing goodChooks have personalities and make great pets. If you have kids, teaching them to carefor any sort of pet is a wonderful education.

Chooks not only provide fresh eggs, they eat food scraps and provide manure for the garden. Th ey can also keep pests under control. If you have an interest in living more sustainably, keeping chooks is a wonderful contribution to the planet.

Home, sweet home Before buying a few birds, you have to set up a place for them to live. Chooks need a home that is safe from predators and protected from the harsh sun and rains, has a perch to keep them off the ground and nesting boxes where they can lay. Ventilation is vital and an automatic watering system is a good idea. A large cubbyhouse can be converted into a chook shed or you can build a chook house yourself from scratch (check out the internet or grab a book for tips on how to do this) or you can buy a ready-made product. Moveable chook pens (oft en called chook tractors) are great for smaller backyards, while permanent fi xtures in large yards work well. Cover the fl oor of the chook house with a layer of straw and change this regularly. If you have a well-fenced yard, it’s worth letting your pets roam around during the day – they love to peck around. When buying chooks, do a bit of research – some breeds are great egg layers while others are bred for meat – and buy from a reputable supplier. You’ll fi nd them online or in the Yellow Pages.

nutritional diet to keep them healthy and laying eggs. Feed them chook pellets and grains, crushed roasted egg shells or shell grits, insects and worms and green vegies like spinach, parsley and cabbage.

Happy and healthyBuy your birds from a reliable source and make sure they are vaccinated before you take the home. Always keep an eye on your birds to ensure they don’t get sick or distressed. A healthy bird should be alert and active, pecking around with his mates. He will have clean eyes and nostrils, smooth feathers and should struggle if you try to handle him. Keep their shelters clean and off er them the right nutrition, and they should stay in great shape. But you can also used herbs and plants to keep your chooks healthy. Planting things like nasturtium, comfrey, wormwood and tansy where your chooks can peck at them is a great idea. Some plants increase egg production and repel pests. Others provide good nutrition.

In and outA pet door offers peace of mind for home owners and freedom for their four-legged mates.

Are you a security-conscious pet owner who’s getting tired of constantly letting your pet in

and outside the house? It might be time to think about installing a cat fl ap or pet door for your mate to move freely around the home and yard.

Th ere are many commercially made products on the market that come in all shapes and sizes suitable for diff erent types of (human-sized) doors. Glass or wooden doors, brick or weatherboard walls and even sliding glass doors, fl y screens and security doors can all accommodate a commercially available pet door. And you’ll fi nd the doors come in a variety of shapes and sizes with many diff erent features such as locks and weatherproof fl aps with magnetic strips to keep them from blowing about in a strong wind.

When choosing a door for your pet and home, consider the most convenient place to pop it for you and your pet. Place

it in an area where your pet is comfortable jumping in and out and think about your fl oor covering on the inside of the frame – it’s a good idea to have the door coming into a room with hard fl oor coverings that are easier to clean as pets drag a lot of dirt inside with them.

Obviously, if you want a pet door in a glass door or walls, you’ll need a professional for the job, but if you’re handy with a hammer, you can DIY a pet door into your wooden door. Measure your pet from the knee joint to the top of the shoulder – pets will lower their heads and lift their leg through the opening. If you have more than one pet, measure the biggest one and take into

When choosing a door for your pet and home,

account if your pet is likely to grow any more so you don’t make a door that in the future will be too small.

Add a few centimetres on either side for wiggle room then get a strong piece of cardboard and, using your measurements, cut a hole in the centre. You can then get your pet to step through the hole in this template to test that the size is right. Once you have the right size, you can select your pet door frame from a reputable supplier. If your local pet shop can’t help, there are plenty of suppliers online.

You can use your cardboard template and the pet door measurements to mark out the frame onto your wooden door. Just draw it on with a pencil, using a level to make sure it’s nice and straight. Drill a hole in each corner to get you started and then, using a jigsaw, cut out the hole. If you can take your door off the hinges, it’ll make the job easier. Install the pet door according to the manufacturer’s instructions and you’re done.
