Welcome to the Autumn Edition of our Northshore Living Magazine.

2020 has produced so much in such a short time, with the devastating bushfires followed by huge rain events right across Australia. Now, we are dealing with the global epidemic of the coronavirus, it seems difficult to believe that we are only at the end of the first quarter! The distribution of information (read news, via the media) and the fact that this can be delivered in almost real time with social media, means that the fast pace is really becoming our new normal.

Our Gold Coast northern suburbs real estate market appears to not have been affected and is under immense pressure with simply not enough stock to supply an insatiable demand, hence prices have been rising. We have completed many sales since the Christmas/New Year break, in fact we are up just over 30% in total sales numbers when compared to this time last year, (2019).

In the last quarter our office has successfully sold just under 100 million dollars worth of real estate and successfully leased over 50 properties.

A very strong market has meant our auction business has produced some spectacular results so far in 2020. With that in mind we have scheduled another large-scale auction event at the Sheraton Mirage Gold Coast on Wednesday the 29th April 2020. (MidAutumn/Easter event).

Our large sales team across our four offices are focused on achieving exceptional outcomes. If you would like your property to be part of this event, please contact any of our team, or contact me directly.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy.

Interstate migration still the catalyst for growth.

Victoria has demonstrated a higher population growth than any other state in the last few years. But, don’t be fooled by the numbers, this is made up of primarily internationals moving to Australia.

If we take a closer look at the interstate migration patterns as provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics late last year, it shows a very different picture.

For the last two years Queensland has topped the charts with between 23,000 and 24,000 migrating to our part of the world, each year. Victoria by contrast only attracted 12,780 migrators last year, and NSW in fact had a negative migration, (people leaving) of almost - 22,000. (Both South Australia and Western Australia also recorded negative migration).

This is why we have a solid housing market with great prospects and confidence right across South East Queensland, in particular the northern beaches of the Gold Coast.

The lack of stock coming to the market is applying upward pressure to potential values and this is being felt in every one of our offices on the northern Gold Coast.

Our Agents are struggling to find adequate stock for genuine buyers.

Now is a great time to consider selling, upsizing or downsizing, there are options available and buyers around to make it happen.

Do you know what your property is worth right now?

If not, you should. Let us complete a no obligation update for you, being educated on potential values is critical for making correct decisions. Please contact any of our agents, or contact me directly and I will make sure this gets completed for you straight away.

Whilst all our locations are recording amazing results, Paradise Point has really stood out with a large number of recent sales for existing property and some great commercial sales occurring since Christmas. The land we have been marketing at Sovereign Shores has also been in strong demand with many sales being recorded as well, these sites are getting short on supply now and there is no more land left! Check them out, do the maths, I think you will be surprised.

We hope 2020 has been kind to you so far, and on behalf of our team I wish you well for the rest of the year.

Aston Martin DBX A BOLD NEW CHAPTER AND A LANDMARK MOMENT IN ASTON MARTIN’S ILLUSTRIOUS 107-YEAR HISTORY, ASTON MARTIN UNVEILS ITS FIRST ALL TERRAIN SUV. THE DBX WILL PROPEL ASTON MARTIN TO NEW HEIGHTS WORLDWIDE.

B

ringing both the versatility and indulgence expected of a luxury SUV with sports car levels of dynamic performance, DBX sets a bold new standard in this sector.

Aston Martin Lagonda Queensland General Manager Paul Hewitt said: “Aston Martin is 107 years old and in my thirty year career with the brand I can’t emphasise enough how incredibly exciting and significant DBX is for Aston Martin. Through its development alone, this beautiful SUV has already taken the company into new territories and in inspiring directions. This is a real landmark for the greatest British automotive brand and DBX will reward all who experience it in their everyday lives.”

Powered by a new version of the characterful 4-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine found in DB11 and Vantage, DBX features an impressive output of torque, carefully tuned to meet the specific needs of this model. With a sound character that is unquestionably Aston Martin, the active exhaust system ensures this is a luxury SUV that can sound refined one moment and exhilarating the next. The engine’s versatility isn’t restricted to its vocals either; the turbocharged V8 has cylinder deactivation to enhance fuel economy, yet it can also propel DBX from 0 to 100kmh in 4.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 291km/h.

With 632 litres of boot space and folding rear seats DBX possesses all the flexible load capacity expected of an SUV with class-leading interior space. A narrow load sill and broad aperture maximises the practicality for a variety of luggage, such as suitcases, golf bags and ski equipment. There are many optional accessory packages offered.

These packages will tailor the car even further to customers’ needs, sports or pastimes. For example, the Pet package will include, amongst other things, a portable washer to help attend to the needs of a muddy dog after a walk.

The luxuriously handcrafted interior of DBX has been designed to provide equal space and comfort whether sitting in the front or rear of the car. Classleading headroom and legroom combines with a full-length glass panoramic roof and frameless door glass to offer a fantastically light and spacious cabin environment.

Dr Andy Palmer said: “DBX is a car that will give many people their first experience of Aston Martin ownership. As such it needed to be true to the core values established in our sports cars, while also providing the lifestyle versatility expected of a luxury SUV. To have produced such a beautiful, hand built, yet technologically advanced car is a proud moment for Aston Martin.”

FASHION 2020 FOR FASHION IS GOING TO BE THE YEAR OF MINIMALISM AND ESCAPE

A

fter the summer Australia has had, it would be very difficult to spurge when our beautiful land is in re build mode.

But as for the real trends, we fashion lovers cannot contain ourselves when it comes to buying.

We will re use & re style what we have, we could even make use of our better halves favourites! Your wardrobe may become more masculine. Wearing your man’s white polo shirt & dress shirts to create a relaxed & casual feel. Teamed back with a longer length formal short, an untamed eyebrow shape & natural make-up complete the look.

But, when we do this season it will be to take us away.

Floral, leafy prints are also going to be huge! Think that famous cut away J Lo dress from the Versace runway.

Tropical prints take us away to foreign destinations & symbolise escapism.

Something we all crave, especially after the summer we have had.

Matchy Matchy is growing in popularity too. Think double denim, think dressing your family in the same prints, styles or outfits.

So take what you have, what your family has & if making an addition to your wardrobe in 2020, make sure its to have some fun & take you away, even if it is just for the neighbours BBQ!

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE, BE BEAUTIFUL

STEVE IRWIN AWARD FOR ECOTOURISM

L

ady Elliot Island Eco Resort has taken out gold in the ‘Steve Irwin Award for Ecotourism’ category at the annual Queensland Tourism Awards held on Friday 8th November at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre.

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort continues to strive and provide a genuine ecotourism experience to all guests who visit the Island whilst at the same time ensuring we protect and preserve the fragile ecosystem for future generations to enjoy. We are extremely honoured to be presented with this remarkable accolade in recognition of our contribution to sustainable tourism.

The ‘Steve Irwin Award for Ecotourism’ recognises ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas that foster environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation.

We wish to thank everyone who has supported Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort through our sustainability journey.

“The remarkable Lady Elliot Island Team were rewarded with Gold at the Queensland Tourism Awards on Friday night. It is a challenge to win this award. I believe its one of the most hotly contested in the state. We are all very honoured to be recognised for our contribution

to sustainable tourism, even more so that the award represents Steve Irwin and his unmatched dedication to the protection of wildlife and wild places on our planet. A big congratulations to every single nominee and winner from the evening. On Lady Elliot Island we have the courage to push ahead and find ways in which people can exist in our spectacular and fragile environment with a minimum footprint. We are custodians of this very special environment and we are proud to lead the way in environmental and sustainable initiatives here in Queensland, Australia and worldwide. We believe our mission and role here is to make a difference for the future of this amazing planet” Peter Gash, Managing Director/Custodian, Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort

TURTLE NESTING IN FULL SWING

L

ady Elliot Island is a significant nesting location for Green and Loggerhead Turtles. Nesting season normally occurs between November to February, with hatchlings emerging from January to March.

Nesting can occur anywhere around the island but the majority of nests have been recorded in the sand dunes in front of the resort and either end of the airstrip. The nesting process can take between 2 - 8 hours depending on the turtle species and how quickly a suitable nesting site is located.

If the female turtle considers the nesting site unsuitable, it will move to another location.

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort has launched a 2 night turtle package, valid for travel from 28 January to 31 March 2020. Aptly named ‘Turtley Amazing!’, this is a great time to visit Lady Elliot Island if you love turtles as much as we do!

MANTA RAYS

L

ady Elliot Island is known as ‘Home of the Manta Ray’ and these giant kites of the sea can be seen feeding around the island throughout the year but aggregate in larger numbers during the winter months.

The manta ray is the world’s largest ray, with a wing span of up to seven meters.

Manta alfredi, the species found on Lady Elliot island, is known to occur off both the western and eastern Australian coasts. Early data from Project Manta showed that manta rays travel a distance of at least 500km between Lady Elliot Island in Queensland and Byron Bay in New South Wales within few months.

Project Manta visit Lady Elliot Island twice a year as part of their multidisciplinary study of manta rays, established in 2007, that aims to provide much needed biological and ecological information on the species in Australian waters. On these expeditions the team will conduct research which includes photographing, observing and recording manta ray behaviour. In the lab, they identify individual

rays from photographs and enter the results in the database. They also collect samples of water and plankton and take oceanographic measurements of water currents, conductivity, temperature, and depth.

Photographs and videos of manta rays are particularly needed for this project to be successful. Photos are utilised for photo-identification of manta rays and are integrated in a major photographic database which includes all pictures of manta rays recorded around the Australian coastline.

Share you photos with Project Manta and if a new manta is identified from your shots, you will get to NAME YOUR OWN MANTA. More info: https://biomedical-sciences. uq.edu.au/project-manta

HEALTHY AND WEALTHY After the holiday season, it’s easy to be distracted from your financial goals. But this is actually the perfect time to put a few simple plans in place for a positive start to the New Year.

N

ew Year’s resolutions have a bad reputation, and for good reason. So let’s agree up front that we won’t think of financial preparations for the New Year as “resolutions”. Instead this is a great opportunity to set things in order, re-group and look back to ensure things are on track, and of course to re-balance and plan for the year ahead.

Best practice around reviewing your finances for the New Year begins with a calculation of your net worth. Save this somewhere so it’s easily accessible next year, and you’ll have a simple and effective way to measure your progress against a set goal. Include all of your assets (property, cash etc) and liabilities to calculate a final figure.

Next, pick a couple of items from your financial portfolio, whether they be credit

Southport

card or mortgage, superannuation accounts or insurance policies etc, and do some research to find out whether you’re getting the best possible deal. Interest rates, fees and risk profiles should be checked at least every few years for each of your accounts.

Just as compound interest can be enormously effective over time, so too higher fees and costs can result in far less wealth at the end of your investment period.

Spend some time getting to know your investments. How much is in your super? How is it invested? Are you on target to achieve your final goal? What difference could you make by re-balancing certain investments? Ask questions and seek clear and relevant answers as if you’re looking after the world’s most important retirement nest egg…BECAUSE YOU ARE!

Coolangatta

NEW YEAR Then, depending on your stage of life: UP TO 40 YEARS OLD • Consider maximising the effects of compound interest and perhaps even saving a little tax by salary sacrificing a small amount – perhaps $20 to $50 a week – into your super. A little now adds up to a lot later. Be wary not to exceed contributions caps though.

• Check that your investments are allocated correctly to match your risk profile and the fact that you have several decades to ride out any market turbulence.

• Analyse your insurance needs and check you have the correct levels of cover. You possibly have people that rely on you to provide for them. Make sure you, and they, are suitably protected.

FROM 40 TO 60 YEARS OLD • It’s time to start knocking down that bad debt, so make that a priority for the next few years and track your success using your net worth document.

• Insurance is vital at this stage of life as you’ll likely have dependants and major responsibilities, such as a mortgage. Check you are insured to the right level.

• Consider what you can do at work, or outside of work, in order to improve your earning potential.

• Analyse your superannuation and figure out whether you need to begin maximising contributions, but don’t exceed contributions caps as additional tax will then apply.

• Depending on your comfort with risk and your time left in the market, your portfolio’s risk/growth exposure should be periodically fine-tuned.

PRE-RETIREES AND RETIREES • How long will your retirement wealth last?

How are your investments performing? This is perhaps the most important period of life to ensure your portfolio and retirement income stream are suited to your lifestyle.

• Is your estate protected? Organise a will and enduring power of attorney if you haven’t already done so.

• Put some money aside to enjoy yourself whether it be for travel, a hobby, a course or simply a night out to dinner every so often. You have earned it.

FREE WAYS TO STAY ACTIVE ON THE GOLD COAST WITH 300 DAYS OF SUNSHINE A YEAR, AN ENVIABLE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND A LOVE OF THE OUTDOORS, ONE MIGHT ARGUE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE GOES HAND IN HAND WITH LIVING ON THE GOLD COAST.

Embracing a healthier lifestyle doesn’t have to break the bank – we’ve found 5 ways you can stay active on the Gold Coast for free!

1. OUTDOOR GYM Gym memberships can get pricey, so why not use one of the Gold Coast’s open air outdoor gyms?

If you’ve ever strolled along the oceanway paths in our coastal suburbs, you’ve probably noticed clusters of exercise equipment sprinkled throughout our parks. From ellipticals to cardio steppers, to bars and plyometrics, you can tailor your own workout to suit your fitness level.

While there are various parks on the coast, our hot tip is to check out the Varsity Lakes outdoor gym at Varsity Central Park. Home to 17 workout stations, the park caters to all fitness levels and is the perfect spot the next time you want to pump some iron.

Bonus: the park is fully lit and covered, meaning you can work out rain, hail or shine!

2. HIT THE STAIRS Burn baby burn! Ready to set your quads on fire? Grab a friend and make your way to the famed Currumbin stairs on Pacific Parade. The stairs are located in Wallace Nicoll Park

opposite

Currumbin

Alley. Here you’ll find local HIIT enthusiasts pounding their way up roughly 130 steps. You’ll be soaked in sweat in no time – however the view at the top is worth the climb!

3. TRY A FITNESS CLASS Group fitness can be an excellent way to stay motivated with a health regime; the hard work of planning a workout is already done for you – just turn up and go!

The City of Gold Coast’s Active & Healthy program offers a timetable of free and low-cost classes to encourage the wider community to embrace active living. From yummy mummy bootcamps, saluting the sun with yoga, Tai Chi to having a splash at aqua classes, you’re bound to find something suitable.

With new classes constantly being added to the timetable, the Active & Healthy program can be a great way to try a new fitness craze at an affordable price point.

4. TAKE THE BIKE FOR A SPIN With more than 1000 kilometres of bikeways connecting the city, exploring the Gold Coast on wheels is a great way to stay fit and avoid traffic.

Whether you prefer the coastal route or perhaps something a little more challenging, you can find inspiration to plan your next cycle here.

Pro tip: make a pit stop at one of the coast’s many cafes and enjoy your caffeine fix as a little treat.

5. PARKRUN Love hitting the pavement but wish you had some company? Jump on the parkrun wagon and join other avid runners at 7am every Saturday morning on a timed 5km run at parkrun locations across the city. Parkrun is an inclusive event, with everyone from beginners to budding Olympic athletes welcomed to take part. It’s free to join in – just make sure to register before your first run online.
