CIVIC PRIDE STARTS AT YOUR DOORSTEP

Last year, the Gold Coast was awarded the title of World Kindness City.

Judges spent two years looking across the globe for a city that displayed the values and compassion worthy of such an award. To win this award underscores to me what is great about our city.

Ultimately, it is the people and the way we rally around each other and share such passion and pride in our piece of paradise.

Our civic pride was reinforced last year when the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games organisers put out a public call for volunteers.

Organisers wanted 15,000 volunteers – and 47,000 registered. It is that type of community spirit which makes being Mayor such a privilege.

On 4 March this year, we have another opportunity to show off our community pride, when the annual Clean Up Australia Day activities are held.

Let’s all pull up our sleeves, put our gloves on, clean up and get our city shining before the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

The clean-up day has evolved to become the largest

event of its kind in the country.

Last year, we collectively picked up 280 tonnes of litter from across the coast. Let’s do it again and showcase our amazing city to the rest of the world.

Registering is simple – host a site of your own or join an existing site by visiting cleanupaustraliaday.org.au

People of all ages can participate by registering as a solo, group or team of five in one of three categories - ‘Family Fun’, ‘Agile & Abled’ and ‘Deadly Serious’ - depending on your level and ability.

TOP BUSHWALKING TRAILS ON THE GOLD COAST WALKING SHOULD BE JILL CALLCOTT’S MIDDLE NAME BECAUSE SHE LIVES AND BREATHES IT.

She moved to the Gold Coast from the UK when she was 12 and attended Burleigh Heads State School back when it was okay to go school barefoot. Her love of walking grew over the years but deepened as her work took her overseas and she frequently she ate takeaway meals late at night. She was always looking for ways to walk it off and over the years noticed many people taking their morning or afternoon walk through corridors of hotels.

Ms Callcott wanted locals and visitors to the Gold Coast to be able to explore the city on foot so she started a website, Walking The Gold Coast, where she records her walking activity and provides maps, photos and a running commentary of her adventures.

“It is truly only by walking an area that you can get the essence of it, and compared to other parts of the world this is still a very safe area to enjoy nature through walking. The reality is there are some great bushwalks right here on the Gold Coast where you can soak up the tranquility of the bush and hear and see wildlife,” she said.

“You don’t have to travel to the hinterland to enjoy it; most can be accessed by public transport and a short walk. In Burleigh alone you can criss cross from Burleigh Headland to Burleigh Ridge and on to Tallebudgera Conservation Park and back to Burleigh Village for lunch across 26km including back tracking, all while never being too far from a coffee.”

Ms Callcott said Federation Walk was another example of a fabulous track where walkers travelled more than 8kms to the Seaway and back through bushland. The popular walk gave walkers the chance to soak up the local birdlife and stand on sand dunes while looking at a deserted and windswept beach.

“Scanning the surround you’ll see the high rises of Surfers Paradise and behind the tops of high rises in Main Beach. After your bushwalk, take yourself off to Tedder Avenue for a refresh and relax. One thing we should remember is that bush walking quite often involves urban walking to, and this too can be rewarding, just getting out into another area away from your patch is good for you,” she said.

TOP 5 SHORT BUSHWALKING TRAILS ON THE GOLD COAST AS PICKED BY JILL.

TOP 5 LONG BUSHWALKING TRAILS ON THE GOLD COAST AS PICKED BY JILL

1. TALLEBUDGERA CONSERVATION PARK On the Burleigh Heads side you can view the pristine waters of Tallebudgera Creek; it’s also very quiet and full of birdlife particularly in the early morning.

1. COUGAL HIKING TRAIL (10KM) Mount Cougal borders Qld and NSW and the only guide is the barbed wire fence that separates the states. The terrain is diverse, a hiking pole is recommended and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Check with National Parks before embarking on this trail because storms can impact on the area and make sure the forecast is for a clear day.

2. PALM BEACH PARKLANDS There are two walks here, the first is Beree Badalla Boardwalk along Currumbin Creek and it’s best to do this during high tide to get the feeling you are walking on water. The next is Tarrabora Reserve; a small pocket of bushland right in the middle of the Gold Coast, wedged between the Gold Coast Highway and Currumbin Estuary at Palm Beach.

3. COOMBABAH LAKELANDS – SHELTER ROAD Insect repellent is a must and there is a short bushwalk before the boardwalk; which is a bright burnt orange colour and such a contrast to the surrounding mangroves. At the end of the boardwalk is a bird hide and the only sound is water lapping against the timber piers.

4. COUGAL CASCADES – CURRUMBIN VALLEY This is part of the Gold Coast Hinterland just a few kilometres up Currumbin Creek Road. A scenic winding road full of photo opportunities which finishes at the Springbrook National Park. The Mount Cougal Section a short bushwalk with cascading waterfalls and cool mountain air, a hidden gem that few Gold Coasters visit.

5. BURLEIGH HEADLAND – UPPER OR LOWER TRACK A short climb to Tumgun Lookout is worth the effort, views of the southern Gold Coast as far as the eye can see and the lookout on the north side is equally picturesque.

2. FEDERATION WALK (7KM) Federation (Bush) Walk features headlands and windswept dunes, winding trails through groves of Macaranga trees and She-Oaks. The trail ends directly opposite south Stradbrook Island, which is only a short distance across the Seaway.

3. SOUTH STRADBROKE ISLAND You can walk right around South Stradbroke Island and while you’re totally isolated you’re only minutes from a refreshing beverage. Downside is the lack of transport access. The Island is 21km in length and 2.5km wide.

4. COOMBABAH LAKELANDS Only a stone’s throw from Harbour Town Shopping Centre, Coombabah Lakelands track is full of wildlife, bush and wetlands. Kangaroos are prolific, swamp wallabies are around and there are plenty of koalas to see. With over 1000 hectares of land you can choose how far to hike. It has an amazing diversity of bird and plant life and is arguably the best place to view koalaa and kangaroos in the region.

5. NERANG STATE FOREST Nerang National Park and Nerang State Forest is 12km from Surfers Paradise, on the north-west outskirts of Nerang. Here you can explore dry rainforest and open eucalypt forests on a scenic bushwalk, horse ride, or you can cycle along one of the designated mountain-bike tracks. There are various tracks and distances to choose from.

AMBITIOUS IN SPORT IN THE SHADOW OF THE MASSIVE $1.5 BILLION CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM FOR THE 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES, THE GOLD COAST’S LARGEST UNIVERSITIES HAVE BEEN UNDERGOING A DEVELOPMENT BOOM OF THEIR OWN.

Last year, Swimming Australia president John Bertrand opened the Bond Sports Centre, while earlier this year Griffith University officially launched its new FINA-accredited Aquatic Centre.

These were the latest multimillion-dollar investments by Gold Coast universities in sport, which is widely recognised as enhancing student outcomes.

Clearly, it was also a message that sport in education has just become serious business on the Gold Coast.

As a Commonwealth Games city, it’s no surprise that the Gold Coast’s three universities – Griffith, Bond and Southern Cross – are all members of the Elite Athlete Friendly University program.

The program was established by

the Australian Institute of Sport to support elite athletes who choose to study by accommodating the flexibility they need to perform at their best.

employers want in graduates,” Mr Nucifora says.

However, it’s since become apparent that sport offers opportunities for a broader student cohort than just top athletes.

The momentum has been building at Bond since 2012, under the stewardship of sport-loving Vice Chancellor Professor Tim Brailsford who saw great value in establishing the Bond Institute of Health and Sport off campus at Robina.

As executive director of sport, Garry Nucifora has been leading Bond University’s charge to elevate sport as a strategic pillar for the university.

The facility, which has a heavy focus on research and sports science, also includes the award-winning High-Performance Training Centre.

It’s sometimes referred to as ‘edusport’, where participation in sport at all levels has been proven to improve the employability of students.

This is a teaching and training hub for national and international athletes and sports bodies, including the Wallabies and Adelaide Crows.

“That’s because the values, attitudes and beliefs of sports align very well with the same values attitudes and beliefs that

This was another significant piece in the sporting puzzle that began coming together in earnest after the Gold Coast

“For obvious reasons, new infrastructure is attracting a large number of sporting events, teams and sporting organisations to the Gold Coast – which can only benefit local industries like education, sport and tourism,” says Sports Super Centre director Brendan Flynn. secured the rights to the Commonwealth Games back in 2009.

It could be said that the Games, and the new sporting infrastructure and upgrades accompanying the event, have done more to heighten awareness of the strength of the region’s sporting credentials than at any other time.

The enhancement of training facilities has led to more athletes relocating to the region, with many combining university studies with training.

This, along with the growth of sporting scholarships, saw Griffith University field the largest cohort of students of any Australian university to compete at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

“The Gold Coast is now literally a breeding ground for elite athletes

across a number of different sports, which is great to see,” says Duncan Free, director of Griffith Sports College at Griffith University.

The Sports Super Centre at Runaway Bay is playing its part in that ‘edusport’ narrative following a $5 million upgrade.

Originally established as a training venue for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, it is now an official training venue for GC2018.

“The GC2018 upgrades to the Sports Super Centre have reinvigorated our ability to provide local, national and international athletes and students with worldclass facilities.”

Mr Flynn is forecasting significant legacy benefits to the education sector from this investment well after the Games are done.

wearegoldcoast.com.au

Most potent is the ongoing development of student and athlete pathways into the sporting industry.

“We work with a number of educational institutions on the Gold Coast by educating students through the medium of sport,” he says.

“Post GC2018, our centre will continue to support grassroots to high performance sport for camps, training and events.”

For Mr Nucifora, sport is a natural winning strategy for the education sector. He essentially sees sports at all levels as a ‘good news story’ that will continue to underpin the broader sporting phenomenon in education on the Gold Coast.

“It’s now about telling our story to the world,” he says.

Please note that accounting and tax services are not endorsed nor the responsibility of Count.

Restructuring Property to Retire Right Putting property in our personal names to speed up the process with no real consideration of other structures is common.

The impact of this decision is significant and should be discussed with an accountant who understands and can explain the impact.

Why don’t we seek additional advice when purchasing a property? Quite simply, cost. We outlay money on stamp duty, bank fees, conveyancing, building inspections and agent fees. Why would you need advice?

Let’s consider our clients, Harry and Betty. They are property lovers and are two of the most emotional investors we have met, approaching every decision with caution after previously receiving bad advice.

The outcome for Harry and Betty focuses on cash flow, structure/strategy and contingency, with a goal to retire on $120,000 pa so they can spend time with their family.

Considering the cash flow and structure of their properties, we calculated it was worth paying stamp duty to transfer the properties to another structure. They are now protected in one of the most secure environments. Achieving asset protection is a benefit, however the tax savings are greater.

On the current structure of the properties, there was not enough to retire on by their own standards.

Their tax savings now equate to $30,000 per year in the first 10 years and then over the following 10 years, $50,000 per year in tax is saved.

Harry and Betty plan to be in retirement for a long while, and over $2 million in tax savings will remain with the family instead of being paid to the ATO. With such significant savings from one decision, how will you consider your structure?

Set yourself up in one of the camping areas or nearby accommodation and spend days exploring this magical part of the world. Take short walks or long treks deep into the park’s forest, exploring boulder-strewn mountain streams, dramatic lookouts, rugged cliffs, plunging gorges and secluded, mountain-top camp sites.

As you explore the park, pay homage to the earliest inhabitants—the Yugambeh Aboriginal kinship group.

They know this area as Woonoongoora and the mountains are sacred and spiritual—places to be nurtured and respected.

There is a rich volcanic history under the spreading greenery of the park.

Tamborine, Springbrook, Beechmont and Lamington

are remnants of the Tweed shield volcano’s northern flank. Mount Warning is all that remains of the volcano’s core and the Tweed Valley is a large erosion caldera carved from the eastern flank.

This park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, famed for its ongoing geological processes, evolutionary history, and diversity (especially of rare, threatened and endemic species). It is an important refuge for many animals and home to impressive examples of ancient songbirds. Many plants and animals here are threatened species—relying on the protection of the park for survival.

VETLOVE NOBBY BEACH

COME AND MEET

Dr Geoff Wilson and Dr Ali Harris for a CHANCE To WIN PRIZES and FREE VETCARE and Support the McGrath Foundation

COME IN AND SPIN THE VETLOVE WHEEL!

GEOFF THE VET RETURNS!

Just months after completing the first Australian Crossing of Greenland’s enormous Ice Plateau South to North and breaking multiple world records in the process Geoff the Vet has a Veterinary home on the GC once more.

In 2008 Geoff the Vet sold his Veterinary Practice in Robina to a Corporate group and has for the best part of a decade been working away from the coast as a Veterinarian and building a name for himself as a professional Explorer/Adventurer. During this time Geoff has focused his professional veterinary skills on improvements in Soft Tissue and Orthopaedic surgery and also birthed a return to family style veterinary practice with the brand “VETLOVE”.

“The idea with Vetlove is simple… a love for animals, a love for their owners and a love for staff. A simple triad that makes sure that we do the very best for every animal, every time in a modern well equipped environment with staff who love what they do. In short Vetlove is a place where animals genuinely feel the “VetLove”, no rush, no hard sell, just plain old care and attention with the best outcome for the patients as our main focus.” Geoff says.

Geoff has always been passionate about

Philanthropy and in all his recent journey’s has supported the McGrath Foundation, having raised 100’s of thousands of dollars to place Breast Care Nurses in remote regions of Australia. Geoff is probably best know for the Boobsled that he dragged across Antarctica 2013/14 raising over $250,000 AUD for the charity. All of the journey’s since have also been in Pink and this explains the overt PINK branding of VetLove as well !

NIGHTQUARTER:

NOR THERN GOLD COAST’S CREATIVE P L AY G R O U N D OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, NIGHTQUARTER HAS PLAYED A WHOPPING GREAT PART IN THE CULTURAL EVOLUTION OF THE NORTHERN END OF THE GOLD COAST.

Night markets packed with local designers and products, micro-restaurants, pop live music spaces, and 120 speciality food and drink purveyors have come together each Friday and Saturday night to form an epic creative playground, all within a shipping container city. The Paddock live music venue has played hosts to legions of Gold Coast musicians, as well as some spectacular touring acts. Below are just a tiny handful of the incredible achievements of the entertainment precinct created by entrepreneurial duo Michelle Christoe and Ian Van der Woude.

Commonwealth Games this year, what better spot to host a delectable food and cultural program than the NightQuarter?

While full program details are being kept under wraps until early February, we can reveal this tasty tidbit: The doors of NightQuarter will be open to the public from 12.00pm to 9.00pm, everyday from 5 – 14 April 2018. Gone will be the days of waiting until the weekend for your langos, American BBQ or gluten-free doughnut fix. The only real question is: How on earth will we survive going back to weekend trading once the Games are over?

SO, WHAT’S COMING UP IN 2018?

Interchange Festival is being thrown by NightQuarter and G:Link on Saturday 13 January to celebrate the connection of the light rail to the Northern Gold Coast. It’s going to be a massive celebration with New Orleans style brass bands, parades, a trackless train running throughout the market, buskers, family fun, shopping and street food. The festival is being thrown to encourage people to catch the G:Link and experience the culture and attractions of the Northern Gold Coast.

With Festival 2018 getting set to thrill the ears, eyes and tastebuds of the world during the 2018

“We’re extremely proud of the local food industry and being able to share this with residents and visitors to the Gold Coast during the Commonwealth Games in April,” says NightQuarter owner and Food Festival Director, Michelle Christoe.

Of course, it’s not just delicious eats that will be on offer, with a cultural program of local and international musicians from around the Commonwealth set to perform in the many unique live spaces on offer at NightQuarter.

The full program of events will be announced in early February 2018.

GOLD COASTERS 9 PEOPLE DRIVING CREATIVIT Y AND INNOVATION

The Gold Coast is a city with big personality and big ambition, powered by an energy that makes it one of Australia’s most vibrant communities.

People are attracted to it, and bring their own energy to produce a potent mix of creativity, innovation and enthusiasm. It is this vision and ambition that has built this great Australian city into what it is today. Here are some of the key contributors to the city’s ambitious determination.

TOM TATE Mayor

LOUISE BEZZINA Artistic Director

GREG YOUNG Business Director

If the Gold Coast is a true reflection of Australia’s youthful drive and energy, then its Mayor Tom Tate is a great example of the can-do spirit that is transforming the city into an economic and cultural powerhouse.

A successful businessman, he is unashamedly pro-business and pro-Gold Coast. A civil engineer by trade, he is a father of four and can speak fluent Thai and Laotion.

His philosophy is simple: “Business growth, job creation and strong families are all linked together. I try to give this message every chance I get,” he says.

Louise Bezzina is credited with being the inaugural director and creator of the Gold Coast’s highly successful Bleach* Festival. “The Gold Coast is the most exciting place to be working and making art right now,” she says. “The sector is growing rapidly and the excitement and appetite from the locals for more interesting experiences grows every day.” In her role as Artistic Director for Bleach* Festival, Louise is part of the creative lead team for the GC2018 Arts and Cultural Program. “I feel privileged to be part of this movement.”

Greg Young started Body Science International 18 years ago in the garage of his home on the Gold Coast. Today it is Australia’s leading brand for sports and nutritional supplements, with an expanding range of hi-tech compression sportswear and about 50 staff.

Young says there is no better place in the world to run a business. “It’s a region of boundless opportunity, with like-minded people striving for innovation and attaining best-inindustry excellence,” he says. “It’s ingrained – the heart and soul of the Gold Coast is entrepreneurial thinking.”

KIANA LARKINS Artist

NEV HYMAN Philanthrocapitalist

Emerging painter Kiana Larkins draws inspiration from her Aboriginal heritage and her affinity with nature. “From the rivers of Katherine to the ocean of the Gold Coast, I have always been immersed in Mother Nature in all her glory and I find all my inspiration from these amazing places of Australia,” she says. Kiana says her paintings are helping her understand her culture. “My art has stemmed from a deep place within me that is wanting to learn more about my culture and myself.”very chance I get,” he says.

Surfers know him as the guy who founded the FireWire surfboard brand. Prime Ministers know him as the guy who has created a system to build low-cost, rapidly deployable, pre-fabricated homes, school class rooms, medical clinics and other community structures from recycled materials. Nev Hyman is a surf industry icon who set up Nev House in 2009 to save the planet. He might just do it. This year he’s won the Australian leg of the prestigious Pitch@Palace, and has established an investment arm in Europe to fund projects worldwide.

AMY SHARK Musician

HARRISON NORRIS Cinematic Virtual Reality

MARGOT ROBBIE Actor

Until her hit single Adore made the music industry put an asterisk next to her name, Amy Shark was known only to a handful of fans on the Gold Coast. Her story is a rock ‘n’ roll dream come true. The indie pop singer-songwriter uploaded her demo of Adore onto Triple J’s Unearthed platform in 2016. The song soon made the rare jump to commercial radio, and a star was born. Adore came in at Number two in last year’s Hottest 100 and she signed a worldwide recording deal.

Virtual Reality expert Harrison Norris has worked on some of the film industry’s biggest productions including Ghost in the Shell, Suicide Squad and Mad Max: Fury Road.

Co-founder of PROXi Cinematic VR, Harrison’s passion for the new world of VR has lead to the creation of groundbreaking new VR camera system, foregoing all proximity limitations to capture live action performances in close-up. At 19 Harrison used this new camera system to co-direct the official Suicide Squad VR experience.

Confident, talented and taking on the world, Margot Robbie is one of the brightest stars in a new generation of leading ladies conquering Hollywood.

Like so many before her she cut her teeth on the long-running Aussie soap Neighbours. After three years hanging out at Ramsay Street she moved to Los Angeles, and hasn’t looked back since. Her breakthrough role came opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, and she has gone on to star in bigbudget hits such as The Legend of Tarzan and Suicide Squad.

BARRY LEE Architect DBI Chairman and Director of Design Barry Lee has been responsible for the design of some of the Gold Coast’s most spectacular high rises including Soul, Q1 and Jewel. “Our goal is to make a meaningful contribution to the city which is our home and to the many and varied other cities around the world in which we work,” he says. Barry’s philosophy is to combine a focus on human quality of life and environmental sustainability with dynamic and expressive architectural forms, in an attempt to comfort and inspire.

“Specialist Knowledge, Superior Service.”

WHY COMPROMISE THE BEAUTY OF NATURAL & MAN MADE STONE.

Whether you are installing a new floor, wanting to clean and restore any natural or man-made surface, looking to coat a concrete surface, needing to reduce public liability claims from people slipping on your premises or looking to remove or prevent unsightly graffiti then call us today.

Slipstop Antislip treatments are single application treatments that make slippery floors anti-slip within hours. They can be used on Ceramic, Porcelain & Quarry Tiles, Concrete, Granite, Marble, Terrazzo, etc.

CLEARSTONE™ is a protective coating, not a sealer. Once coated, the stone itself no longer comes into contact with potentially damaging substances which can cause etching
