REAL ESTATE AGENT INDEX

Sustainability is not a sexy word. In fact, few of us fully understand what it means. Yet the vision for the Coast is to become the most sustainable region in the country, so it’s about time we all get savvy with it. Th e council defi nes it as, “activities, practices and systems that are able to continue indefi nitely and which strengthen the economy, enhance the natural environment and protect the character and identity of communities”. Our cover story this week looks at how it aff ects the way we live now and in the future. Th is in-depth and easy to read story is the fi rst installment of a series that will run over the coming weeks and into the new year, to keep you informed. Our economy is alive and doing well (see page 8), with positive movement in the sharemarket and the property market, not to mention a recent decline in unemployment. It looks like we’ve managed to dodge a major recession and the RBA’s interest rate rise earlier this month was a confi dent nod to a strengthening economy. Let’s just wait and see what the RBA decides to do with interest rates this Tuesday.

cover story

A bit bamboozled by the term ‘sustainability’? In this new MPR series, we offer a refresher course and explore the plans to make the Sunshine Coast greener.

Sustain to maintain

It’s a six-syllable word that can seem overwhelming when it’s used so oft en by politicians, professionals, academics and industry experts. But ‘sustainability’

simply means fi nding a balance between three vital elements in our lives – the environment, the economy and the social wellbeing of people and communities.

Th e Sunshine Coast Regional Council and the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) agree on the importance of this ‘triple bottom line’ for the long-term

prosperity of our region. Public offi cials and developers fear the consequences if one element is out of whack

– whether that’s losing jobs or natural biodiversity or aff ordable, comfortable lifestyles and housing.

Th e trick now is to work with home owners, tenants and their families to make the Coast the most sustainable region in Australia, a vision outlined by Bob Abbot when he was elected mayor.

Th e council’s current public consultation process and historic creation of a regional planning scheme was explained at a UDIA meeting at Maroochydore this week. Executive director of regional strategy and planning at the council, Warren Bunker, wants everyone interested in the future of the Coast to have a say on the new statement of proposals and related draft strategies, discussion papers and background studies. Th ey set the council’s direction on issues that will aff ect people who live or invest here. Issues include aff ordable living, cane lands, climate change, fl ooding and stormwater management, housing needs, rural planning, transport, waterways and coastal foreshores management.

But what does the council’s ‘vibrant, green, clean’ philosophy mean on an individual level? How should each household be contributing? Th ere is more we can do than just upgrading light bulbs and taking shorter showers. Strategic project offi cer Peter Milne, who works in environment planning, points to a variety of council programs that are already helping householders “reduce their ecological footprint on the planet”.

On the next page is Peter’s description of a typical day in the working week of a Sunshine Coast family that has learned to ‘live smart’ in a sustainable future. Th e Smith family lives in a modest, three-bedroom, two-bathroom, brick and tile house on a small urban block. Th e house has been well-positioned facing north. Th e Smiths have:• joined the council’s Living Smart program (see box opposite) and completed the activities relating to water, waste, energy and transport;• installed insulation, solar hot water, solar panels and rainwater tanks, assisted by Australian Government rebates;• joined the council’s Travel Smart program. Business owner Mr Smith has also joined the council’s ecoBiz program to reduce his cafe’s waste and water and

energy use.Warren says the renewed push towards sustainability,

from three levels of government, the industry and residents, has been sparked by the need to manage the potential eff ects of rapid population growth and climate change.

“Th e Sunshine Coast’s relaxed lifestyle and enviable natural assets make it a desirable place to live, work and play,” he says. “However, there are challenges. Global issues such as climate change and peak oil will change the

A sustainable day in the Smith family:

Living Smart

Population overload?

A typical morning Since installing insulation, the Smith house is a pleasant 23 degrees after a cool spring night. Mrs Smith makes breakfast – fruit from the backyard trees and lemongrass tea from the herb garden. Mr Smith recently retrofi tted the kitchen, installing a three-bin waste system to separate into green waste for compost, recycled waste for the council’s recycling bin and the remainder for general waste. The Smiths’ goal is to have no waste going to landfi ll.

After eating breakfast in the sun on their north-facing patio, the children catch the bus to school and Mr Smith drives to work. Mr Smith has recently downgraded his 4WD vehicle to a small diesel sedan, to save costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mrs Smith works from home as a consultant, and puts on a load of washing before work. The water tanks have been connected to the laundry and toilet to reduce mains water consumption, and a grey water pipe from the laundry waters the garden. All taps and shower heads have been fi tted with water-saving devices.

At workMr Smith arrives at his cafe and quickly reviews his ecoBiz audit to ensure the business is on track to cut waste, energy and water. His actions so far have reduced costs substantially, so he decides to install solar panels from the savings. He has just changed the way he buys food for the cafe and now 70 per cent is supplied by local wholesalers. Surprisingly this is more expensive, but Mr Smith believes it is worth paying a little extra for local produce rather than using goods that have had to arrive via long-distance transport.

His employees review their waste separation processes and an award is presented to Ms Green for her ideas on reducing water and energy use. Recently the electric hot water system failed and she investigated a solar hot water replacement, which was installed. Given that the cafe uses a lot of hot water, Mr Smith expects the solar system to pay back upfront costs in two years, as well as reduce energy and carbon emissions.

At home, Mrs Smith is making her workspace comfortable. The family has chosen not to install air-conditioning, instead using passive design methods to keep their house cool. This includes

breezes through glass louvres, shading devices over windows, landscaping with native trees and shrubs on the western side of the house for shading, and light colours for the roof and walls to refl ect heat. Very conscious of stand-by loads on appliances, Mrs Smith switches her computer and printer on and off at the wall. As a consultant she often took the train to Brisbane, but she now has an internet teleconference system to save time, travel costs and carbon emissions. Mrs Smith prints out her consultant’s report on recycled paper, and any waste paper goes into the compost bin for eventual use on the garden.

At schoolThe children’s primary school has introduced a number of sustainability initiatives and in one year reduced its general waste to landfi ll by 50 per cent. Fruit and vegetable waste goes to their worm farm, which enriches the school’s permaculture gardens. As part of the sustainability curriculum, the Smith children tend the gardens and are allowed to take home some vegetables for dinner that night. Recently, through an Australian Government grant, the school installed solar panels and retrofi tted all the lights to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.

That evening Mrs Smith and the children ride their bikes home from the sports ground after soccer training. On his way home from the cafe, Mr Smith drops in at the local shop to buy food for dinner. He buys only items that are not over-packaged, or that have recyclable packaging. Conscious of his carbon footprint, he chooses locally produced goods with minimal processing. He carries them in ‘green bags’. Mrs Smith, a member of a local community garden, also adds ingredients from the garden to cook dinner.

This program started in 2004 in response to consumer demand for information on Sunshine Coast building products and services.

Thousands of people have so far completed the four online ‘learning modules’ that calculate a household’s environmental impacts and show how to cut greenhouse gases in the four areas of energy, water, waste and transport.

Feedback has shown a family of four can save more than $550 a year, a retired couple almost $500 a year, and each household more than 3000 kilograms of gases a year.

The Sunshine Coast’s population of about 300,000 continues to increase, with the State Government’s SEQ Regional Plan 2009 predicting it will grow to 497,000 by 2031.

About eight million people visit the region a year, including 800,000 plane passengers.

way we plan for development. Increasing population and visitor numbers could impact on lifestyle and character of the region. Infrastructure must match development.”

And more than 18 months aft er Noosa, Maroochy and Caloundra councils amalgamated, the new council knows it’s in a prime position to guide the Coast’s growth. Th e statement of proposals is part of a comprehensive planning project called Our Place Our Future.

“Th is is a fantastic opportunity for the general public and industry groups to off er detailed input about what works and what doesn’t in our

planning schemes before we

draft a new one to manage growth,” Warren says. Submissions opened on October 12 and close on December 7. (Go to www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and click on the ‘Our Place our Future’ link for more.)

Th e UDIA (Qld) Sunshine Coast branch is also keen to show leadership by encouraging more sustainable developments. It’s heavily involved in programs such as the State Government’s Sustainable Homes (go to www.sustainable-homes.org.au). Environmental planner Brad McDonald, who is chairman of the UDIA’s environment and sustainability committee, says developers are striving to achieve that balance between environmental quality, economic prosperity and social equity. “Sustainable

development is split into three parts,” he says. “Th e fi rst is improving amenity for the residents while reducing eff ects on environmental assets, and minimising waste and pollution. Second is promoting economic prosperity such as jobs, business and market growth. Th e third is the social aspect, ensuring greater fi nancial and cultural

access for everyone in a community.”Brad, of Parsons Brinckerhoff consultancy

group, says developers want to protect the Coast’s natural assets and lifestyle while building and

upgrading residential, commercial and industrial areas. “We want to guard the values that people come here for, and buy houses here for,” he says.

Sustainability:Activities, practices and systems that are able to continue indefi nitely and which strengthen the economy, enhance the natural environment and protect the character and identity of communities.

Climate change:The change in climate, attributed directly or indirectly to human activity, that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and is additional to natural climate variability over comparable time periods.

Peak oil:This refers to the point when the extraction of conventional crude oil reaches its maximum rate, resulting in decreasing supplies and increasing prices. The Coast is vulnerable because of its high car dependency.

market update

Economy in recovery modeThe economy is in recovery and demand for property is increasing, making it a great time to buy.

At the start of the month, the Reserve Bank of Australia was the fi rst major central bank in the world to

raise interest rates since the onset of the fi nancial crisis. Th is movement signalled a strong recovery in the economy, with experts saying the Australian economy had performed better than its developed counterparts. Th e share market bottomed out on March 9 this year, and since then has regained 60 per cent of its value. Craig Jones from CommSec told Channel Seven’s Sunrise program that both shares and property prices are going up.

“Our economy has performed a whole lot better than other economies around the world and as a result the sharemarket has held up. We’ve got to remember what the sharemarket accounts for. It counts the value of Australian businesses and if businesses are making money – they’re making profi t – it should be refl ected in the value of the shares.

“And it’s not just shares going up. We’re seeing property going up, we’re

seeing unemployment steady – we’re seeing strength right across the economy.”

RP Data’s Tim Lawless agrees, saying that we’ve already seen prices recover from the trough in 2008. “We’ve seen prices up about eight per cent in the year up until August, and in August prices went up another two per cent.”

He says interest rates will perhaps dampen fi rst-home owner demand, but demand from investors, who are not as aff ected by rising interest rates and housing aff ordability, will increase.

In Tim Lawless’ RP Data Property Pulse last week, he suggests coastal regions are the buying hotspot. “Because housing values across some of Australia’s most popular coastal regions have shown recent falls and competition in the market remains relatively subdued, buyers should take a good look around coastal regions. Now may be the best time to position in the market while prices remain low.”

He says it’s also time to buy in affl uent markets. “Th e top end of the market was

the worst hit in 2008, but in the second half of 2009, premium properties have been the absolute standout performer. So they were the worst in price falls but now the best performers in price increases.”

Craig Jones agrees that the worst is behind us. “Th ere are two main factors that are going to drive our economy forward in the next couple of years. One, is China – 1.3 billion people want the same standard of living we enjoy and they’re buying our resources.

“Th e other factor is population. We’ve got the fastest population growth of any advanced nation. We’ve got more people, more demand for housing more demand for retail items and the like. Provided the Reserve Bank doesn’t lift interest rates too far too quickly, it does look really good.

“We’ve got such a tight labour market and that’s good news for wages.”

He adds that the sharemarket is not overvalued making it good value. “Th e outlook for the Australian economy is very good.”

Tim lists his reasons why coastal markets now offer great buying advantage:

• The number of home sales hasincreased by 37 per cent sincebottoming 12 months ago.

• The time it takes to sell a home is becoming shorter across the key coastal markets and fewer vendors are discountingtheir properties.

• The total amount of stock availablefor sale is gradually

reducing, indicating that supply is being absorbed by the heightened level of buyer activity.

Make an appointment with your agent to have an honest discussion about the sales process so far. How many people have been through the home? What has their feedback been regarding the property and the price? What are the least appealing features in the eyes of a buyer? Is the marketing working? Answer these questions and work on a plan together to solve any problems.

If your home has been on the market for a while and you haven’t received any off ers (or the right off ers) consider taking it off the market for four to six weeks to give it a breather. If you can, taking a break can be an eff ective strategy, as a whole new set of potential buyers will be around when you put it back on the market. Use this down time to spring clean your home and get some new pictures taken for your next marketing campaign.

If you haven’t been able to sell your home, can you hold onto it and rent it out? Renting your home may generate enough income to pay your mortgage and expenses. Th is could be a useful short-term solution if you simply have to move, particularly if your home appeals to investors who are looking for a rental property to add to their portfolios.

Even the best house can benefi t from a little makeover to help attract the right buyer. Take a good look at your home through the eyes of a potential buyer – is there anything that can be fi xed or improved to make it more

attractive? Even inexpensive cosmetic changes can make a big

diff erence – a new coat of paint, weeding the garden and a thorough clean could be all you

need to make that sale.

Th e buyers, not the sellers, determine the market value of a home. You can set your listing price above comparable properties in your area, but at some point it will be up to the seller to accept what the buyer thinks your home is worth. Overpricing is the most common reason homes don’t sell. Review the sales of comparable homes in your area. Perhaps your expectations are set a little too high and you may need to drop your priceto meet the market.

Review your relationship with your agent. Are you happy with the attention he or she has been giving to you and your sale? If you’re unhappy, wait until your listing agreement expires and fi nd an agent with a proven track record in your area. If you are happy but would like to re-motivate your agent, consider off ering an increased commission or a bonus as an incentive.

Th e more people who know that your home is for sale, the better chance you have of selling it quickly and for the best price. Have you invested adequately in the promotion of your home?

If you’re installing a pool and looking for something extravagant, take your cue from this beauty, thought to be the most expensive private pool in the world. It

is located in the London home of an Israeli businessman.

For some luxury that’s a little more aff ordable, you could try putting a fl oating massage table in the centre of your pool, like this one in Sarojin Resort in Th ailand. Th en you just need to fi nd a masseur to put on it.

Th e Nemo 33 diving pool in Belgium is the world’s deepest pool. It’s 33 metres straight down and, if you’re a nervous swimmer who likes to be able to touch the bottom, just plain scary.

For something a little diff erent, you could try a custom shape for your pool. Th is heart-shaped pool is at the Heartbreak Hotel, opposite Elvis Presley’s Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee.

With Sunshine Coast home blocks getting smaller, many of us have limited backyard space. If you have a small yard, follow the example of this New York apartment building and just pop in a pool wherever it will fi t.

A pool on stilts was never going to work. So, whatever type of pool you choose, make sure you use a reputable pool builder to install it and avoid the fi nished product looking anything like this.

Michael’s wild rideReal estate agent Michael Knights didn’t let inexperience stop him from riding 480 kilometres across East Timor in the fi ve-day Tour de Timor.

“I only got on a bike six weeks before the trip,” the RE/MAX Property Associates agent says. “A couple of guys from the gym were doing it and I was looking for a challenge.”

And a challenge it was. Although new to the bike tour calendar, the event is considered one of the hardest rides in the world, attracting 350 professional and amateur riders from around the globe.

Michael says his teammates John Kenafake, Andrew Earle and Karl Dunbar also found the ride, most of it over dirt tracks, to be a formidable challenge. “On the fi rst day we covered 132 kilometres in 35- to 40-degree heat.

“I got three punctures on that fi rst day but I was determined not to be picked up by the ‘sag truck’, which picks up the stragglers. I was in the bottom pack of 100 but my goal was not to get picked up by the sag truck. Th at truck was on my tail but I didn’t give up.”

Waterfront specialist Anthony Gorman has moved from Ken Guy Maroochydore to join the team at Place in Caloundra. Anthony will be working from this new location before he opens his very own Place offi ce in the Mooloolaba/Kawana area. His personal assistant Sue Christensen and his wife Vivienne have also made the move across to Place with Anthony and will occupy support and sales roles within this new offi ce. Anthony is excited about opening his own offi ce for the award-winning real estate brand and is currently looking for the right offi ce space to occupy. While he says

he’s currently considering a number of commercial sites, he said he expects to have the new Place offi ce open and operational within the next three to six months. In the meantime you’ll fi nd Anthony at Place in Caloundra where he is still specializing in the waterfront property market in and around Mooloolaba and Kawana.

Next Property Group has offi cially launched its fl agship offi ce in Maroochydore in place of the old Ken Guy offi ce, and last Friday, Loren and David Wimhurst launched the sister offi ce in Buderim. Experienced Buderim property specialists Chris Pace, Craig Porter, Damien Michael, Michelle Smith, Matt O’Grady and Richard Scrivener have moved from the Maroochydore location to work the new offi ce at 3/72 Burnett Street. Mix FM was on hand when the doors offi cially opened last Friday, with the

crew cooking up a free sausage sizzle for Buderim locals while handing out magazines, vouchers, chocolates, balloons and drinks.

property reviews

Th is house is perfect for the fi rst-home buyer or astute investor. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lock-up garage plus carport and a self-contained granny fl at. Set on a 625-square metre block with a large private backyard, the home is in the sought-aft er Mountain Creek school zone, within easy walking distance of local shops, river and parks.

Boasting sensational golf course views and a lovely formal opulence, you can watch the golf action from your covered entertaining area or swim in the lagoon-style pool. Comprising four big bedrooms including a spacious master with lovely ensuite and large walk-in robe, the home has living zones for every occasion with three separate areas including formal lounge, casual family room and media room. Th e galley-style kitchen is fi tted with top-quality appliances and great walk-in pantry will impress the chef of the family.

A tranquil setting of 1283 square metres, an outlook to an adjoining 1.2 hectares of parkland and close to Buderim village, this well-maintained home has it all. It has a spacious air-conditioned open-plan living area and a large and practical kitchen with relatively new appliances. Th e large undercover eastern patio is the idyllic spot to contemplate the veggie patch while the children play in safety. Th e master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe and the other bedrooms will all take queen-sized beds. Th e air-conditioned fourth bedroom with external access would also make an appealing media room or offi ce.

French-inspired architecture combines with exceptional craft smanship to create a property colloquially known as ‘Th e Castle’ but aptly named ‘Chateau La Tourelle’. Resting on 2.5 acres, this magnifi cent residence boasts views of the ocean and rainforest. Th e home took a stonemason more than four years to build using hand-cut solid slabs of sandstone. Th ere’s an emphasis on grandeur and fi rst-class throughout, with a mix of pitched timber ceiling features, travertine fl oors, white solid marble staircases and intricate sandstone inlays. Large balconies overlook the fabulous terraced grounds, which include two dams, and a fully self-contained studio/guesthouse, which has its own separate street access and would act as a fabulous dual-income portal or home-business headquarters. Th e open living zones spill out to lush lawns and a huge sandstone alfresco area set beside an inground pool and barbecue terrace. Th ere are four bedrooms (two with ensuites), an offi ce, library and wine cellar. Downstairs features an elaborate indoor entertainment room with bar.

It wasn’t the beaches that drew tourists here in the fi rst half of the 20th century – they came, instead, for a break on the range.

by Dorothy Drane

All the rangehinterland

Forming a spectacular backdrop to the Sunshine Coast’s beaches, the Blackall Range is home to some

of the hinterland’s premier real estate, with homes on the escarpment off ering million-dollar views – and not always with prices to match.

Th e hinterland’s answer to the coastal suburb’s prized canal addresses, range living has the attraction of views rather than waterfront, and rainforest, acreage allotments and rural serenity for anyone wanting to live, literally, the high life.

It had the region’s fi rst tourist industry. Hotels and boarding houses were developed for the summer trade in the early 20th century and its guesthouses were an important part of the local economy long before anyone recognised the beauty of the beach.

“Th ere was a belief that mountain air promoted health and refreshed tired

Europeans in hot climates, notably Poona in India where the English consigned to the Indian Empire would escape the heat,” one early tourism brochure touted. “Although the Blackall Range did not have the same contrast of the Himalayas, it was 1500 feet above sea level and much cooler than the coast and had the panoramic views to the ocean.”

Guesthouses sprang up along the range. One at Montville received vice-regal approval when the governor Sir William McGregor visited in 1912. He was given “a tour of orchards and range beauty spots before aft ernoon tea”.

In the 1920s, there were three guesthouses in Montville – Elston and Mayfi eld along the main road, and one in the centre of town that later became known as the De’Lisle Gallery, before burning down in 1995. Mrs Monte Dart’s

Mayfi eld House at Montville boasted extensive facilities including hot and cold baths, electric light, a tennis court and a pool, while Elston House became an important part of holiday social life, with concerts that included “games and singing”.

Mapleton’s hotel, guesthouses and shops boomed in the 1920s and ’30s and, because most holiday-makers arrived from Nambour by tram, it was described as “the gateway to the Blue Mountains of Queensland”.

Guesthouses Strongarra and Elanora in Mapleton added to holiday facilities, which became an important part of the range economy, particularly when times were diffi cult for the fruit industry.

A 1926 newspaper ad reads: “Strongarra, new, up-to-date boarding house. Extensive ocean and mountain views. All fruits in season ever at hand. Free trips for boarders any aft ernoon on motor bus service through Flaxton and along Blackall Range. Cars for hire day or night when views of Montville can be seen. Tennis court. 8/- a day.”

Elanora advertised a “boarding house, fruit, milk, cream, butter, eggs, own orchard, farm, health, Blackall Range, tennis, car for hire, motor bus meets train”.

Other facilities were developed during the 1930s and by 1938, there was golf and lawn bowls, as well as tennis.

In 1958 the guesthouses were still popular enough for the State Government to approve a town improvement scheme for Montville. Th e main road was widened, and some kerb and channelling undertaken. Th e town improvements were completed in time for the 1959 Queensland Centenary celebrations.

Although arts and craft s today weave a common thread through the range towns, Maleny, Montville and Mapleton have retained their individuality as they have developed. Maleny is the commercial centre, Montville the tourist centre and Mapleton the family centre.

All three have strong associations with townships at the bottom of the range to the east, rather than north-south connections with each other. Th is could

be attributed to the transport diffi culties in reaching the range and the eastern connection put them in touch with main transport routes. Landsborough is the feeder for Maleny, Palmwoods for Montville and Nambour for Mapleton.

RP Data fi gures for March last year show that Maleny’s median sale price was $510,000, compared with $670,000 in Montville and $430,000 in Mapleton.

In Maleny, 55.7 per cent of houses are fully owned, 26.4 per cent mortgaged and 17.8 per cent rented, while 98.3 per cent of properties are separate houses. Th e median asking rent is $330 a week for a house.

Montville has 44.7 per cent of houses fully owned, 32.8 per cent mortgaged and 22.5 per cent rented, with 97.7 per cent of properties separate houses. Th e median asking rent is also $330 a week.

In Mapleton, 45.4 per cent of houses are fully owned, 31.5 per cent mortgaged and 23.1 per cent rented while 89.4 per cent of properties are separate houses. Th e median asking rent is $383 a week for a house.

According to the last census, the population becomes younger as you move north, from a median age of 54 in Maleny, to 49 in Montville and 46 in Mapleton.

Award-winning style for the CoastThere were multiple winners at the HIA building awards

industry update

A custom-built house at Sunshine Beach was named Sunshine Coast/Wide Bay Home of the

Year at the annual HIA-Melco Lanhams Sunshine Coast/Wide Bay housing awards last week.

For the winning builder, Jason Warren of JW Constructions (Qld), it was the perfect end to a successful evening, having already picked up the awards for Custom Built Home of the Year sponsored by G James Glass & Aluminium, Custom Built Home Over $2 million sponsored by Queensland Homes Magazine and Trade Contractor of the Year for Carpentry.

Ryan Designer Homes was a double winner with Display Home over $400,000 and Display Home of the Year. Other double winners were: Craig Cleary Constructions for Outdoor Project of the Year and Spec

Home of the Year; AD Williams Construction for Bathroom Project over $20,000 and Bathroom Project of the Year, and G&N Building Contractors & Update Cabinets for Kitchen Project over $30,000 and Kitchen Project of the Year.

It was also a successful night for kitchen designer Eileen Middleton. Eileen was named Bathroom Designer and Kitchen Designer of the Year.

Congratulating the winners, HIA’s Sunshine Coast Area Manager, Adrian Langford, praised the support given by the local industry.

“What we have seen tonight clearly demonstrates that builders on the Sunshine Coast and in the Wide Bay area are the equal of their big city colleagues,” he said.

Major winners from the event go forward to the Queensland State Awards and, if successful there, can compete in the 2009 national titles.

Urban plan

display home

Inspired by inner city living, the Cebel by Adenbrook is a contemporary, urban home that makes a bold statement. And there’s little maintenance required

to keep it looking good, leaving you time to relax.Water features cascade into a pool that fl anks the

courtyard. From the street, the look is bold. Th is is a home that will be noticed with a caterpillar green feature wall contrasting the white render and charcoal, lava stone-like feature blocks around the portico.

Step inside through the glass entry door. To the right are two bedrooms, separated by a bathroom. Th e double garage is on the other side of the entry, with access to the home through the laundry. At its core, under a soaring raked ceiling, are the living areas – the kitchen, meals and family room, which open through bi-fold doors to the paved alfresco terrace.

For more serious home entertainment, step up to the media lounge, which borders one end of the courtyard.

Tucked away at the back of the home is a fourth bedroom or study and the sunken master bedroom. Its ensuite has double basins and a frameless glass shower, and adding a touch of glamour to the space is the shutter-enclosed courtyard with spa bath, beyond the bedroom’s sliding stacker doors.

Jade: Greg, let’s fi rst look at costs. Obviously an outdoor spa is cheaper than a pool, so that’s more money in your pocket. A portable spa is also smaller and easier to place, so it can go with you if you decide to move house. Both

pools and spas require ongoing maintenance, and the spa will

need to be drained from time to time, which can be a nuisance. However,

it can be used in winter when the pool usually gets rejected. In saying that, an

inground pool does add value to a home when it comes to both rental return and resale, so for the long term,

I’d be going for a pool. Maybe you should both just agree to disagree and get a pool with a spa.

Q with. To paraphrase Yoda, “Do, or do not, there is no toy.” Bubbles are way overrated anyway, unless they’re in a champagne glass. Having said that, Michael Jackson’s monkey was pretty cool, too. To help sell it to your wife, G-Man, point out that with every pool comes a ‘pool man’. Clearly that’d be you in your tight white shorts and crazy ’70s moustache – there’s nothing like a bit of role play. If she really, really wants a spa, appease her with a gift voucher to one of the local day spas. She can get it out of her system in one gloriously relaxing aft ernoon.

Todd: Hey Greg. Straight up, you’ve got to get a pool champ – you can’t be fi ddle-faddling about the place with a spa. Why, suggesting you get a spa instead of a pool is like buying a tropicana pack at Red Rooster and peeling the batter off the pineapple fritter and throwing it away. It’s like watching Top Gun right up until fi ve minutes before Goose dies and then switching it off . You know what, Greg, it’s like buying a fun-size Snickers bar and not the real deal 72-gram two-pack. By

Hi Jade and Todd and Dave. I’m toying with the idea of getting a pool for summer, but my wife wants an outdoor spa instead. We can’t afford both and cannot agree. Can you weigh up some pros and cons for us please. I’m sick of arguing about it. Thanks.Greg, Maroochydore

getting a spa you’re robbing yourself of the full experience, dude. In the words of the legendary Mr T, “Stop your jibba jabber, Greg, and Get Some Nuts!” Stand up for your right to pool party brother. I pity the fool who messes with you at the next family meeting, sucka. I mean, you can’t play Marco Polo in a spa. Th at’s like trying to play Murder in the Dark in a pantry when you know you need a full bedroom for the proper eff ect. Chop chop! We’re not here for a haircut. Sign up for a pool now, Greg, and make sure it’s got a bonus spa, like a barbecue has a wok option. I know coins are tight, champ, but failing to get a spa as well could result in divorce, and I’m not sure you wanna spend that much!

tips & tricks

Australians love the outdoors, and in South-East Queensland, we’re lucky enough to have a climate

that pretty much allows us to entertain outside all year round. From the tiniest courtyards to large sprawling resort-style backyards, one key element can make a real aesthetic diff erence to an outdoor living space once the sun goes down. Good external lighting can create the perfect ambience, but where exactly do you start? Here are a few quick and easy ways to light up your outdoor areas.

Welcome: A well-designed lighting format can welcome guests to your home and path lights are a great way to do this. Remember to keep path lights low to the ground, evenly spaced, symmetrical and keep the wattage dim. One side is enough otherwise you could create an

ugly airstrip look. Popular choices at the moment are cylindrical-shaped stainless steel light poles that range in size from around 30 centimetres to a metre.

Feature: Spotlights are a fabulous way to illuminate foliage or well-textured plants. Th ey work best when directed from the ground upwards, but make sure the beam of light is well positioned and that it doesn’t radiate beyond your focal point and into darkness.

Recessed down lights: Add some creative fl air by recessing aluminum down lights into your timber deck. Place them around the edge of a deck and space them evenly to create an extra feature. Marine-grade ones are also available and they come in a range of colours including green, blue and red.

• Remember with outdoorlighting – don’t overdo it.Shadows can work reallywell to defi ne areas and thecontrast between light anddark can add a moredramatic effect at night,

rather than a light-drenchedand stark area.

• As we live in a coastal area,marine-grade stainless steelis the best material due toits durability and resistance to the elements.

cover story

Summer is almost here, the weather is warm and your pool is clean and ready for many months of poolside entertaining. But you can get even

more use from your outdoor area by transforming it into a resort-style oasis. And it’s not that hard.

Incorporate your landscape design and entertainment area with your pool to create a picturesque backdrop and make the most of summer. Th e ultimate Sunshine Coast backyard wouldn’t be complete without decking, gazebos, a swim-up bar and of course, lots of mates to share it with.

Jamie Loft from 4 Blue in Yandina says incorporating your landscape design with your swimming pool is the most important element of planning a pool.

“Th e pool and the landscape must be an extension of each other,” Jamie says. “If they work aesthetically and functionally, they will then be valuable to the user and add value the home.”

GazebosProviding you with shade, space and an attractive backyard feature, a gazebo is one of the most popular elements of any contemporary pool area. Dina Burt from Indo Products in Sippy Downs says there are many advantages of installing gazebos and Bali-style huts.

“Th ey are becoming more popular, not only for the added entertaining area they provide but for also the visual appeal and the added value to the home,” she says. “Th ey off er that added resort-style feel to parties and entertaining with friends.”

Th ere are many types of gazebos on the market, available in a variety of diff erent materials, including timber shingles, slate, iron and concrete tile. Th e most common gazebos are the square or rectangular designs and the Alang Alang (thatch) roof styles.

If you want to add a gazebo to your pool area you can have one installed in two or three days. Prices start at $3500 for a DIY kit, $4500 installed for a Bali-style hut, or up to $15,000 depending on size and inclusions.

DecksSimon Brady from Ironbark Timber Products says timber decking is a great way to create a seamless look from your pool to your outdoor entertainment area.

“A timber deck around your pool brings a warmth and naturalness to the whole area, tying your pool in with the garden, landscaping and fencing,” he says. “From a functional perspective, timber decks can be treated with non-slip fi nishes to enhance safety.”

When designing your deck you can choose from many types of timbers such as pine, jarrah, kwila, spotted gum, yellow balau, stringybark, red ironbark or grey ironbark or a Supa-Deck mixed hardwood. Th ere is also a range of composite timber decking products such as ModWood, TimberTech or Clever Deck.

Harsh UV rays and salty onshore winds can take their toll on your beautiful timber deck, so it’s important to protect it. Simon says a good stain or varnish will act as a barrier to the elements.

“Th ese days there are a huge range of varnishes, stains and oils available,” he says. “Th ere’s a colour and protection level to suit any project.

Simon recommends talking to an expert to help decide on the best product for your deck.

Swim-up barsA great way to create that resort-style feel in your pool area is to install a swim-up bar. Jamie from 4 Blue says these bars are becoming increasingly popular in residential properties.

“With the pool steadily being more and more integrated with entertaining areas, a swim-up bar is now very achievable,” he says.

Th e type of bar you choose depends on whether you are adding to an existing pool or including it in the design of a new one. Retro-fi t plastic swim-up bars fi x to the coping of your existing pool, but Jamie says that his company is increasingly seeing clients

designing a swim-up bar in from the outset of the pool design process.

“Th ese bars need to be carefully considered at the design stage to ensure they meet pool fencing regulations and to ensure the levels of the particular site will make them easily included in the swimming pool and landscape design,” he says.

Cost is the main factor that may deter people from including a swim-up bar in their pool, but Jamie says that if you include them from scratch they can be aff ordable for most home owners.

“Like anything, it depends how elaborate you want it to be,” he says. “Key questions that need to be factored in when considering costs are, is it roofed? Does it have a fridge and typical bar equipment in it? Is it in a location that you can swim up to and casually chat and be social with others that are outside the water/pool.”



Take the plungeNew pool laws hope to make summer fun much safer.

tips & tricks

Keep cool around the pool this summer, but don’t forget to keep your eye on the little ones. Large

planter pots, statues and other objects can prove to be a danger when it comes to poolside safety, where young children climb over them to gain access to the pool. As of December 1 this year, the Queensland Government is imposing strict new laws regarding pool safety.

Th e improvement strategy will be implemented in two stages.

Stage one on December 1 includes: • Simplifi cation of pool fencing laws to

the latest pool fencing standards.• Provisions to allow temporary fencing

for pools under construction.• Ensuring all new swimming pools

undergo mandatory fi nal inspections.• Mandatory CPR signage that meets

current best practice.• Development of a model swimming

pool register.• Better reporting of immersion incidents

from Queensland police.

• More than tripling the spend on thegovernment’s pool safety campaign.

Stage two, to be implemented later in 2010 will mostly target existing swimming pools including: • Rationalisation of 11 current pool

fencing standards to just one standardfor all pools, both new and existing

• A mandatory point of sale and leaseinspection system.

• Phase out of child-resistant doors used as pool barriers for existing pools.

• Wider application of state laws toinclude indoor pools and poolsassociated with hotels, motels,caretaker residences and caravan parks.

• A swimming pool register.• Fencing for all portable pools deeper

than 300 millimetres.• Narrowing the ability for councils to

to create local pool laws where statelaws apply.

• Councils to gain greater powers ofentry for safety inspections.

• Model local law for councils who wishto cover pools outside state laws.

In line with this, swim coach and Kids Alive – Do Th e Five founder Laurie Lawrence has partnered with national fencing company Protector Aluminium to increase pool safety awareness this summer. Protector Aluminium’s new six-point weld is a pool fence that is two times stronger than the current Australian fencing standards require.

Laurie describes the fencing as the “gold medal design of aluminium pool fencing”. “Pools with defective fencing are a hazard for young children. By installing a safer fence you are taking precautions to avoid a tragedy,” he says.

People with pools who do not sell or lease their home within two years of the new rules are expected to comply within fi ve years. Penalties for non-compliant pool fencing range from a $500 on the spot fi ne, to a $16,500 penalty.
