real estate agent index

Road works. Th ey’re everywhere at the moment. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Bad because it means endless traffi c delays. Good because it’s an attempt at speeding up the infrastructure lag we’re experiencing here on the Coast. And you couldn’t quite call yourself a true-blue local if you hadn’t whinged at least once about the road network, or lack of. Roads aside, there are some very ‘local’ development issues that have been the nucleus of many around-town myths and rumours. Th e Mooloolaba car park for instance. For many years this one has been a topic for debate, yet all we really want to know is: when is it going to be developed, when can we expect it and why isn’t it being done now? With this in mind, MPR has embarked on answering the big 10. Ten local development issues we want answers to. From the rumoured light rail into the Plaza to the Big Top development and Caloundra-Kawana link, we’ve gone straight to the source to bring you the most up-to-date answers within a three-part series over the coming weeks.

cover story

They’re the topics that preoccupy us as we go shopping, sit at roadworks, pick up friends from the airport, entertain the kids during school holidays

or take a parent to hospital. Where is all this development heading on the Sunshine Coast? And these infrastructure and related projects are of even greater interest to the thousands of residents and visitors who intend investing in the local property market.

Th e Coast needs sustainable development to support jobs growth and diversify our economy. We need to protect our environmental assets and foster existing industries. All these factors will help maintain our lifestyle and underpin real estate. But the rumours on what is happening where and when are endless and our questions relentless.

Gerrie Carr-MacFie, who has been CEO of Sunshine

Coast Enterprises for the past year, believes in fi nding the balance. Th is regional enterprise development agency, owned by the council, provides services to businesses ranging from a single lawnmower operator to large developers. It’s a conduit for information to all arms of government on issues that aff ect businesses. Th at includes investment attraction, and training and educational support.

“Our goal is to come up with a green, vibrant, diverse region,” Gerrie says. “We want to encourage enterprises that are in sync with that vision, keeping community aspirations and development aligned.

“We must encourage creative and knowledge-based industries, adopt best practice in manufacturing, use emerging technologies, take advantage of educational assets and grow the aviation industry. Our economy is exposed

in tourism and retail, so we need to encourage diversity.”David Oliver, the Sunshine Coast branch president of

the Urban Development Institute of Australia (Qld), says developers agree with government planners that appropriate infrastructure is needed to create self-contained yet linked communities that cater for our population growth. “All property owners will benefi t if it is done well,’ he says.

Michael Davoren, a past president of the Real Estate Institute of Australia, who now runs online auction site 2bid2.com, says buyers look for quality roads, schools, hospitals and airports along with job opportunities and well-serviced commercial precincts.

So what are the big questions in Coast development at the start of 2009? MPR reveals the fi rst three in our ongoing series on the top 10.

Will international fl ights land at Marcoola? How high will Maroochydore’s new Big Top go? Will we get a huge water theme park? Julie Gatehouse busts the Coast’s top 10 development myths in part one of this three-part MPR series.

WATER PARKS:TWO CONTENDERS WADE INWill the Sunshine Coast get a new, state-of-the-art water park to rival those on the Goldie? Local families and holidaymakers are eager to know if either – or both – of the two big businesses pitching their multimillion-dollar proposals will get government approval. Adventura and Village Roadshow say they are determined to provide such an asset to boost tourism, employment, our construction industry and economy.

1. Adventura’s project has been in the public eye for a year. Its international-standard, large-scale water park and accommodation resort is planned for 74 hectares on Caloundra Road, opposite Sunshine Coast Turf Club and two minutes’ drive to the Bruce Highway. Stage one, at a capital cost of $50 million, will cater for almost half a million visitors in the fi rst year of operation and include 20 family holiday cabins. Its theme is the Australian beach. Adventura is a partnership of Sunshine Coast-based directors including Damian Brown, an urban planner by trade and long-time property industry consultant with national and international experience in leisure facilities. Damian says Adventura will be a major new regional employer, giving jobs to 200 people in construction and 130 when trading.

2. Village Roadshow submitted its development application to the Sunshine Coast Regional Council last August. It intends to build a world-class Wet’n’Wild Aussie World on the 23-hectare Ettamogah Pub property on the Bruce Highway just south of the Sunshine Motorway turnoff . Investa’s growing Bellfl ower estate is across the highway. Village Roadshow wants to enhance the rustic character of the pub and Aussie World with the water park, initially costing $70 million and attracting 550,000 visitors a year plus potential for expansion. Th e company owns and operates four Gold Coast theme parks including Sea World and Wet’n’Wild Water World. CEO John Menzies says the Sunshine Coast attraction will employ 400 people aft er expansion and generate direct expenditure of $300 million within a decade. It will be self-suffi cient with water and protect three hectares of bushland.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?Division one councillor Anna Grosskreutz welcomes the concept of water parks. “Th ey bring a lot of people to our area, employ a lot of people, and are exciting,” she says.

Anna says Adventura’s application has been “a tough one” for council planners because the proposed site is rural and not zoned for a theme park. She understands it’s pending the State Government’s review of its South East Queensland Regional Plan. (Public consultation closes on April 3.)

Damian says he’s positive and committed to going forward. “We welcome the new State Government regional plan because it addresses that concern,” he says. “Large-scale tourism facilities can now happen outside the urban footprint.” His company intends to work with both levels of government to fi nd a solution, using this “window of opportunity”.

Michelle Connelly from the CPR Group, which is doing community consultation on the Wet’n’Wild Aussie World project, says its application is still being assessed by council.

Anna says the Village Roadshow proposal is on a logical site adjoining other tourist attractions but the process is currently between the applicant and planners, not councillors.

NEW TOWN CENTRE:A BIGGER HEART FOR THE BIG TOPLocals and visitors have shopped in the supermarket and specialty shops under the iconic peaked roof of the Big Top Shopping Centre since its grand opening in 1986 incorporating Butt’s Fashion and Fabrics Store. But with the passage of time and the development of the more sophisticated Sunshine Plaza across Horton Parade, many locals are left wondering what’s next for the 3.1-hectare site on the corner of Ocean Street and Duporth Avenue.

Just before Christmas we discovered the grand plan of Reed Property Group, which bought the site about fi ve years ago. Project director Ross Webb says Reed’s application for major redevelopment, lodged with the council on December 17, is the result of extensive planning, research and community consultation. It intends to revitalise Maroochydore’s traditional town centre. If approved later this year, construction could start in 2010 and fi nish in 2013.

So what will it look like? Higher, greener, more vibrant and modern, for starters. It will focus on sustainability and be mixed-use, along the lines of Reed’s burgeoning Emporio development along Maroochy Boulevard. People will live in fi ve new residential buildings containing almost 400 apartments and work in two commercial buildings with

THE AIRPORTS:ONE’S EXPANDING, THE OTHER’S MOVINGMarcoolaA master plan to boost Sunshine Coast Airport includes the long-term potential (aft er 2020) for smaller international aircraft to use a newly built runway at the Marcoola site. In the meantime its owner, Sunshine Coast Regional Council, plans signifi cant upgrades to other facilities on site. In fact, motorists on the David Low Way have already noticed one – the $6 million entry road Runway Drive has just opened.

With almost one million passengers a year now using the airport and expected growth to more than 1.5 million annually by 2020, the council wants to increase its capacity.

Division eight councillor Debbie Blumel says the airport realignment project will allow more passenger numbers as new destinations become possible from the Coast. At the moment major airlines fl y to and from Sydney and Melbourne from Marcoola’s main north-south runway. However, the proposed new runway will be realigned east-west with an increased width from 30 to 45 metres and lengthened to almost 2.5 kilometres.

Debbie says there’s strong support from Maroochy north shore residents because it will alleviate noise and improve

safety as fl ight paths move higher and further out to sea.Th e airport master plan expands the passenger terminal,

commercial and light industrial precinct, parking, taxiways and aprons. Debbie says the council hopes to fast-track the commercial plans. “We want to provide for a range of aviation-related industries,” she says. “We expect this project to stimulate companion investment of $500 million and support 6000 jobs during development and 2300 permanent jobs on completion.” Th e airport now employs 600 staff .

Debbie adds, “In terms of property values, that whole area is benefi ting from hundreds of millions of dollars of state funding for duplicating the bridge and Sunshine Motorway and the Pacifi c Paradise bypass, all leading to the airport. Marcoola is an older but beautiful beachside suburb that may well fi nd a renewal.”

Th e master plan has been submitted to Infrastructure Australia for federal funding.

Th e proposed changes to the Sunshine Coast Airport

130,000 square metres of offi ce space. All buildings will comply with the 40-metre height limit for the Big Top site.

Shoppers will have a range of outlets, including a supermarket, and enjoy a mix of dining facilities. A new leafy, pedestrian-friendly retail street will connect Ocean Street to Cornmeal Creek. Landscape and recreation space will be in excess of the 10 per cent required and include a novel ‘green roof ’. Transport options will include public transport services, walkways and more than 1660 undercover car and bicycle parks.

Managing director Ken Reed says, “Th e project has the potential to inject in excess of $400 million into the local economy, creating an additional 900 jobs during construction and a further 1000 jobs upon completion.”

opinion

Do you have what it takes to subdivide?Subdivision for beginners

As a town planning consultant, a common question I am asked is, “Can I subdivide my land?”

Generally, subdivision of land is one of the easier forms of ‘development’, but it’s still not for the faint of heart. Here are my top six tips on subdivision:

1. Allow at least a year (sometimes longer) from the time the application is lodged with council to the time you put the land on the market.

2. Timing is everything. Try to plan to have the land ready for sale in time for a recovering market.

3. While you dream of a tidy profi t from your venture, be aware that you’ll have a lot money going out and little (or none) coming in until the day of settlement.

4. Once you have approval to subdivide, you will need further approvals for such things as engineering, stormwater management and electrical reticulation and possibly even approvals for footpaths and street trees.

5. Even though there’s no buildings, you still need to ‘construct’ things like extensions to infrastructure, fences, landscape buff ers and footpaths. You might have to wait for contractors to fi t you into their busy schedules.

6. Use experienced consultants. Th eir advice can save money, time and lessen frustrations. Kari Stephens is a director of Dillon Folker Stephens town planners

TARGET: 38 Gleneagle Court, BuderimPROFILE: Four-bedroom-plus-off ce house on over 3.5 acres including a pool, games room and wet bar, media room plus a 23m x 10m shed.MISSION: Sale by Negotiation. RE/MAX Property Associates. Bevan Horsnell 0412 512 257.

We’re on a quest to expose some of the best homes on the Coast, from a man’s perspective. Rumpus rooms are great, walk-in robes and twin vanities go alright too, but where does the man go to be himself and reveal his true man-ness? From the shed to the backyard and pool room, we’ll exploreit in a way that only two Aussie dads with six kiddies between us can.

What a hidden pearla. Set on over three acres it has a massive shed with plenty of ‘man stuff’ to keep the lads entertained. There’s a pool, pool table, bar, a tractor, and plenty of room for a test series of backyard cricket, plus a dam for Roy to wet a line if he couldn’t be bothered turning up for a game

Patriotism peaked this week, with the green and gold and Aussie fl ags fl ying high as the Australia Day celebration

reaches ever greater heights of popularity.It wasn’t all that long ago that the

average Aussie couldn’t be quite sure of the exact date in January that the country celebrated its place in the world, and it was much better identifi ed as the holiday that announced it was time for the kids to get back to school.

But here we are now, full of Vegemite and Waltzing Matildas and proud of being Australian.

Th e season is right, therefore, to raise another old beef of mine, as it probably dates from the days when we really didn’t give a hoot about Australia Day, as long as it meant a day off work.

My gripe is this. Like the proverbial prophet who is not recognised in his own land, we have been rather slow to

acknowledge our own treasures, preferring to name our buildings, particularly the high-rise, aft er destinations much further afi eld. At the risk of sounding very parochial, some of them aren’t even anywhere near as nice as what we have to off er on the Sunshine Coast.

We started off on the right track, with our fi rst ever high-rise tower being called Maroochy Sands, and some others with equal local relevance followed. Surfair had plenty of fresh sea breezes on the beachfront at Marcoola and Windward and Northwind are also fair enough.

Northcliff e is a West Australian beach and it’s hard to spot any north-facing cliff near the Maroochy River building.

Pandanus, Waves, Oceans and Silver Seas all have an Australian beach fl avour, while Bluewater Point, Harbour View, Sea View, Th e Beach, Riverpoint, Dockside, Beachfront Towers and Beach on Sixth

As she refl ects on Australia Day 2009, MPR’s columnist wonders why those responsible for naming the Sunshine Coast’s buildings look abroad for inspiration.

by Dorothy Drane

The name gamecolumn

have some historical connection. Presumably it was named for the Rhode Island harbour which surrendered the America’s Cup to Australia in 1983, and not the town in Wales or the beach in NSW.

Th at sailing connection is easier to comprehend than Trafalgar, the tower off Duporth Avenue. Why anyone would choose a name that conjures up images of Lord Nelson leading the British fl eet into battle against the French and Spanish at the beginning of the19th century, or even the subsequent London square and Monopoly game place, defeats me.

Th en we have the African selection. Th ere’s Zanzibar, in the Indian Ocean off Tanzania, which is famous for its nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper. It’s on the water, which is a tenuous link with Mooloolaba, I guess.

Marrakesh on Maroochy has an architectural style reminiscent of the Moroccan city famous for its markets and inspiring a Crosby Stills and Nash song, but

why Marrakech here? Its sand is more desert than beach and it is miles from the water.

Sirocco is a nasty wind that blows off the Sahara Desert and across the Mediterranean Sea, but is probably a more romantic choice

for an upmarket apartment building in Mooloolaba than ‘Cyclone Larry’.

And there are the more generic Caribbean and Aegean, both seas where there are beautiful holiday beaches and holiday resorts, so why Juneau? It’s the capital of Alaska for goodness sake, and is the furthest possible picture from downtown Maroochydore at this time of year.

And there are plenty more if you care to start spotting.

Th e point is, if we are so proud to be Australian that we will paint our faces green and gold, loudly call out “oi oi oi” in public places and pin fl ags to our cars and houses, why don’t we look closer to home when naming our buildings.

C’mon Aussies, c’mon, we can do better than this. Full marks for originality go to the truly Australian choices of Elouera, an Aboriginal word meaning ‘pleasant place’ and Banyandah Towers, meaning ‘home on the water’.

now under construction, all give a reasonable description of their address.

And the Latin Aqua Vista does say something about what it off ers.

Peninsular in Mooloolaba gets by, although I never did get why the ‘r’ was added to the end so that the geographical feature was spelt incorrectly. I have oft en wondered if this was intentional or someone had just had a few too many beers over a marketing lunch.

But then we have some really extraordinary choices, the fi rst made in the early 1980s with others following more than a decade later when you really would think we could have been a bit more daring and inspired.

For example, one of the earlier high-rise buildings was called Majorca Isle. Majorca, an island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain, is well known as the favourite party hangout of boozed-up young Brits who see it more as a base for binge-drinking and debauchery than a beach holiday. It’s the sort of place that makes the Gold Coast schoolies look like a teddy bear’s picnic and yet the name towers over downtown Cotton Tree.

Down the road is Myconos, presumably named aft er Mykonos, one of the better known of the Greek islands. It is one of the world’s most popular holiday spots, where gleaming white houses refl ecting bright blue water have inspired many an artist whose works can be seen in Greek restaurants everywhere.

It is indeed a beautiful place, but it’s in Greece, and Santorini is in Italy, not Mudjimba.

Th en we have Catalina, and if one wasn’t enough, an adjacent tower was then called Catalina II. Where is your imagination, people?

Catalina to most Australians conjures up an image of the fl ying boat that played a signifi cant role in defending our country during World War II, although I suspect in this context, it refers to the island off the coast of California.

I’ll wager that the Californian city of Malibu doesn’t have an apartment block called ‘Mooloolaba’ and yet we are happy to name ours aft er a slice of the other side of the Pacifi c.

Another one for the US is Newport, the tower in Mooloolaba, which may

Our Sunshine Coast hinterland is full of surprises, with one home-based businessman leading the world in a profession that has him seeing stars.

The only way is up

Colin Blumson, a craft sman woodcarver, made a life change decision just over a decade ago, when he stopped creating detailed Gothic carvings in wood and bronze and started designing observatory domes.

It seems a major leap, although Colin has stayed in his sanctuary in the bush as he switched from carving heraldry and saints to carving a niche in the exploration of deep space.

From the shadows of Gothic cathedrals he has stepped into the stars and developed a business that, through the internet, has taken his work around the globe and back.

Colin’s observatory domes can now be found in places as far fl ung as Iceland and Texas as well as, of course, Australia, where wide expanses of land devoid of

light pollution provide some of the world’s best star-gazing opportunities.

Th e domes house and protect telescopes, which must be kept at pinpoint accuracy if they are to faithfully refl ect a star billions of miles away. Th is means there is no room for outside infl uences, not a breath or wind or a stray ray of light. Once aligned with a star, they must be kept there.

“I only ever had a basic childhood interest in astronomy,” Colin says. “Like so many kids I would look at the sky and wonder where the other end was, but that was about it.”

It took more than 3000 hours to design and develop the ‘Astro Dome’, a term he coined and one which is now being picked up internationally as an easier way to describe an observatory dome.

Blumson’s fi rst dome went to the Blue Mountains outside Sydney, followed by orders from two universities who where

< from page 54establishing observatories at Mt Kent, in south-east Queensland.

Almost 2000 enquiries over the past six years have resulted in sales of about 70 domes – which are not quite your average item – and that was without even trying.

Colin is working on an order from Oxford University for four Astro Domes that will be located in South Africa, India, Sydney and Chile as part of a specialised project to encourage girls into the sciences. Students from girls’ schools in each location will monitor the stars and then email their results back to Oxford.

Even so, Colin has now decided that it’s time to move on and he’s looking for someone to take on the Astro Dome.

It’s not your average business, but it can be based anywhere in the world working with a promising global market and it can, quite literally, be described as a ‘rare opportunity’. Aft er all, it’s not every day that an observatory dome manufacturing business comes on the market.

Colin is looking for an entrepreneur who is ready to head for the stars in a venture that off ers lifestyle and reward. A knowledge of astronomy is not a prerequisite for the business. He describes the person who will be interested in his business as a capable internet user with business acumen who is energetic, gregarious, likes talking on the phone and dealing with all sorts of people.

Up for sale is the name, the intellectual property and research, designs, ongoing clientele, the automatic laser cutting and design process and, of course, Colin’s expertise.

“I have markets around the world, but there is still so much more to be done,” he says. “I have never fully exploited the potential of the business. Astro Domes has a good base to develop as a business and it is now up to others to follow these possibilities and opportunity.”

While he is happy to make himself available to the new business owner, at 65 years old Colin has decided there is too much to be done and too little time. He’s now aiming for retirement and a quieter life making grandfather clocks.

Views to the ranges, summer breezes, outdoor entertaining and well-established gardens are just some of the features of this low-maintenance home. Th e house has three bedrooms, all with built-ins and a study, a media room, plus outdoor undercover entertaining area. Also featured is a double lock-up garage and security screen doors. Only a short stroll to the local shops and school, this home is perfect for the young family.

It has three bedrooms with built-ins, bathroom and walk-in robe and ensuite off the master, a generous open-plan living area, covered outdoor area and a single carport.
