KAWANA LIFESTYLE From Ben’s Desk
WINTER 2016 A COMMUNITY UPDATE BY RAY WHITE KAWANA
Welcome
to our latest Community Newsletter we hope you enjoy it. As a whole, the suburbs within Kawana continue to produce exceptional performances with recent activity indicating strong confidence from both buyers and sellers. The combination of the major infrastructure projects across the Coast which are now underway and in particular the new Private and Public Hospitals here in our backyard, along with record low interest rates and sales across all sectors of the market are driving this confidence. We also expect to see renewed interest in the market come Spring which is just around the corner!
The property management side of our business also has some heat to it with vacancy rates hovering at around 1 per cent thanks to the influx of people working in and around the new Kawana medical precinct and the Maroochydore CBD project. In our last newsletter we included an article on the new Good Bean café which was set to open in the Pulse Building at Oceanside. Thanks to the many readers who took advantage of the free coffee we offered during March, I am sure many of you are now regulars at the Good Bean – just like myself and many of our staff. The good news is that this precinct has become a real destination for food and coffee lovers – particularly the local cycling community who have become regulars and can now choose from a number of cafes including Good Bean, Coffee Club and Raw Energy which are all now open for business. Other businessess have also recently opened in the Pulse Building including Choice Kebabs, Sushi Omoide and Feel Good Flowers.
Winter also means State of Origin and we are proud to announce that we have thrown our support behind the Sunshine Coast Falcons by sponsoring the player of the match for each away game for the rest of this season. Speaking of State of Origin how good was it to lock up the series after the first two games? Queenslander! Regards,
Ben Wilson | Principal
A little bit of kindness goes a long way at Kawana Waters State College Kawana Waters State College have started a new campaign called Kindness@Kawana’ – an idea which commenced thanks to the initiative and energy of teachers who wanted to do a little extra to help struggling families educate their children. The initiative has seen staff raise money for the benefit of a number of children at the school who may not be able to afford items required for their education. Kawana Waters State College Principal Colin Allen-Waters said he was thrilled that the school community would be prepared to do that little bit extra to support students.
“Teachers are asked to do so many extra curricular activities including sport and other community based activities. I think it says a lot about the culture within our school that this type of support takes place. It’s a great example that our teachers are setting for everyone,” he said. “We like to tell the students that even when life gets difficult, there is always sunshine around the corner! It’s great to see them with a smile on their face, that’s the most rewarding thing for us.”
