Well here it is, my third Christmas as MPP’s editor. Who would have thought almost two-and-a-half years ago when we gathered together to create a new property magazine for the Sunshine Coast that it would have such an impact on the local property industry. As Christmas looms closer it’s a time for reflection and after 121 issues, we continue to grow.

We have a big 2011 planned and it’s an incredibly exciting time for the team here – both with the magazine and our new website. This issue we take a look at how developers, planners and landscapers manage development and growth on the Coast and how new estates are designed to lessen the impact on the natural environment (see page 6). You’ll also find the latest REIQ unit and townhouse figures for the Sunshine Coast, not to mention Local Updates on community projects and road upgrades. From myself and the whole team at My Property Preview, have a safe and very happy Christmas.

The ideal

combination

We need new housing but we don’t want to ruin our environment, so how does the W Coast balance bulldozers with biodiversity? MPP talks to professionals on the ground.

As the community puts more value on retaining and rehabilitating the natural environment, environmental engineers, landscape architects and ecologists are becoming as common as surveyors and town planners in the process – before a sod is even turned for housing

Every day, departmental and council officers assess the applications of land owners, private developers and other stakeholders according to myriad criteria. The extent of consultation, negotiation and legislation may surprise those outside the process. As the community puts more value on retaining and rehabilitating the natural environment, environmental engineers, landscape architects and ecologists are becoming as common as surveyors and town planners in the process – before a sod is even turned for housing.

MPP spoke to some of those working at grassroots level and found optimism about the Coast’s efforts to inject more sustainability into development.

New housing can be created in a variety of ways, from redeveloping small parcels of

sk people why they live on the Sunshine Coast and the answer usually relates to the natural environment, from the beaches and rivers to the bush and mountains.

Great climate, distinctive character, outdoors lifestyle. But there’s a catch. In order to allow more people to live and work locally and support economic prosperity, the Coast must provide more housing, plus schools, offices, shops, hospitals and industry. That means more roads, water, sewerage and rubbish facilities.

So where does that leave the pristine flora and fauna? What are the impacts on our natural resources? How do we find a happy medium, especially with climate change looming?

Governments and industry are working through the big issues of sustainability. The State’s South-East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 tackles land-use patterns, sustainability and climate change, natural environment and resources, for example.

The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) recently developed a scientifically based branding system called EnviroDevelopment. The brand makes it easier for buyers to recognise and select more sustainable developments.

Sunshine Coast Regional Council has been incorporating community feedback into a dozen or so new strategy documents on topics such as affordable living, housing needs, biodiversity, open space and canelands.

A summary called the Statement of Proposals, based on sustainability principles, will guide the council’s new regional planning scheme due by early 2012 (see following page).

The statement notes that the Coast is one of the most biodiverse areas in Australia, with significant ecological areas between Pumicestone Passage and Noosa Biosphere.

“There are ecosystem types ranging from coastal wallum to dry and wet eucalypt forests and subtropical rainforest,” it says. It also describes the variety of geographical and cultural places, from small hinterland towns such as Kin Kin to urbanised coastal centres such as Maroochydore, and discusses the pressures of population growth.

infill land to subdividing huge tracts of greenfield land for master-planned communities. On big projects, developers may hire dozens of specialists to work on the plans and construction. (Careers are listed on industry websites such as the Housing Industry Association, hia.com.au, and Construction Skills Queensland, www.beconstructive.com.au.)

While architects design the buildings, landscape architects design the landscapes.

“My profession has one foot in each camp,” says landscape architect Greg Thomas, who’s practised on the Coast for 14 years. “We work between the built and natural environments.

If we’re engaged early enough on a greenfield site, we can help identify existing features

We work between the built and natural environments. If we’re engaged early enough on a greenfield site, we can help identify existing features worth retaining, such as mature trees.

developers have changed and our role is valued a lot more.”

It’s a theme reflected by other industry professionals with an eye on the environment.

Developers are spending more money to ensure ‘greener’ estates because that’s usually what home buyers and approval authorities want.

Kawana Forest, completed in 2008, is a community of detached dwellings set among an open space network that includes green linear parks connecting to melaleuca forest fringes and wetlands. While new residents may enjoy it simply for the street appeal, there’s a lot more behind its design.

Greg says the constructed wetlands were built as part of “water sensitive urban design” (WSUD), an integrated approach to stormwater

management that’s increasingly popular on the Coast. Stormwater runoff from hard surfacing, such as roads, roofs and carparks, flows through swales (vegetated ditches) and wetlands to ‘clean’ the water. This water can be used for on-site storage and re-use, offsetting changes caused by the development.

“At Kawana Forest, that means stormwater is treated on site before any goes into Currimundi Creek,” says Greg. “That cuts the amount of pollutants and sediment going into rivers and eventually the ocean.”

Stormwater is a major focus for environmental engineers, who use scientific principles and computer modelling to prevent or solve problems with natural resources.

They differ to civil engineers, who design roads and bridges, and structural engineers, who help design buildings.

“

The ideal design is to group the housing together to provide a big remnant bush area and, if possible, buffer it with a low-impact land use like parkland

worth retaining, such as mature trees. Then we work with engineers, surveyors and other design and planning professionals to come up with a subdivision layout.”

Greg is from Gamble McKinnon Green, which has consulted on projects from Lake Kawana and Kawana Forest to a 26-hectare new community co-ordinated by the Urban Land Development Authority in Gladstone.

Landscape architects combine artistic flair with their environmental knowledge to create a community’s image. “We’ve always been in the background doing these things,” says Greg, who has been in the industry for more than 20 years including work in the UK and Ireland. “But as society’s perceptions have brought the environment to the fore, the expectations of both government and private

Paula Duke, who has been an environmental engineer on the Coast for 15 years, says concept plans for stormwater management aim to mimic the natural design of a site. “That’s why a wetland is so beneficial to a development,” she says.

“Its end use is twofold – as a bio-retention system to treat runoff from the subdivision and as an ecosystem for existing flora and fauna. Melaleucas on the Coast need their roots in moist soil, for example.”

Paula, whose Minyama-based firm Duke Environmental also does flora and fauna assessments, environmental impact studies and water-quality reporting, has noticed a “definite improvement” over the past five years in local developments maintaining and even enhancing biodiversity. She says the

development process has been aided by legislation to protect trees of certain heights and types, and by the council’s landscaping bond, which is repaid only after performance criteria are met.

Paula says well-designed new communities can have a role in raising public awareness of environmental values. “If we recommend saving a particular stand of vegetation that’s endangered, it can become a focal point of the development,” she says. “That’s what we did for the Atrium at Buderim.”

The Atrium, where construction started last year, is a mix of townhouses and units on more than six hectares close to the university. “There was a stand of endangered swamp stringybark trees and people asked us why we were leaving ‘those straggly things’ there,” she says. “We put up signs and built a mini-boardwalk so future residents could see why they’re a worthwhile species. Then we did the same for some acacia attenuata, a slender shrub that’s listed as vulnerable.”

Paula says retaining habitat also means wildlife doesn’t have to find other homes once people move in. “We found echidnas at Buderim so when they started clearing we were able to protect the nesting areas as ‘open space’ in the site design.”

Many experts strive to protect native animals when new housing is built. Creating wildlife corridors is another method of mitigating habitat loss and reducing animal injuries.

Greg points to the 215-hectare Sunshine Coast Industrial Park off Caloundra Road as a good example of balancing two conflicting land uses and actually improving the landscape. The site now has one of the biggest constructed wetlands on the Coast, covering about two hectares.

“If you drive through the industrial park, you may not realise the measures in place to preserve three species of endangered frogs, for example,” he says. “When we started designing, the site was mostly degraded farmland and remnant exotic pine forest with a wetland in the middle. We planted continued over >

endemic species around the new blocks and road to create better habitats for native birds. Then we constructed a series of culverts [tunnels] underneath the roads for small fauna to travel through.â&#x20AC;? There are wet culverts for the frogs, dry culverts for more terrestrial fauna and even a skylight to make one tunnel more enticing to animals afraid of the dark.

Ecologist Cameron Milne has extensive experience in environmental planning for both the council and major private developers on the Coast over the past 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started doing bush regeneration two decades ago and moved to development assessment,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realised that to be more effective in terms

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent half my working life in government and half in private. While no one likes red tape, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there only because we need to address the problems of the past. There are landscape codes and vegetation protection requirements for good reason

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

of conservation, I needed to be involved in strategic planning. Once a siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been subdivided to house level, a lot of the ecology battles have been won or lost.â&#x20AC;?

Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mooloolah-based company Stringybark Consulting works on policy and planning scheme preparation and ecological mapping for developments and infrastructure projects. These include the Maleny Community Precinct, with residential and golf course components, and the council structure plans for thousands of new dwellings at Caloundra South and Palmview. He says while ecologists have become standard for large developers and governments, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult for smaller developers to warrant the extra costs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My role is to examine ecosystems and assess the impacts relating to any new infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Maleny, for example, we have a genuine opportunity to achieve long-term conservation objectives.â&#x20AC;?

Replanting rainforest on steep topography downstream of the township, for example, will help retain the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biodiversity.

Cameron still has plenty of work across the Coast removing trees to allow for house construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inevitable with our rate of population growth, but it can be managed,â&#x20AC;? he adds.

He says Coast residents may not realise that a street full of homes adjoining small pockets of bushland isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good practice for wildlife preservation. The ideal design is to group the housing together to provide a big remnant bush area and, if possible, buffer it with a low-impact land use like parkland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That minimises a range of impacts on bushland and wildlife such as pets and rubbish dumping, surface runoff and even artificial night lighting,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Motorists on the Caloundra Road overpass may have seen another wildlife strategy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rope ladders strung between vegetation corridors for aboreal mammals (those that live in trees). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The system works well for common species but its success depends on the size of each population and the size of bushland remnants being linked,â&#x20AC;? Cameron says.

He recalls a good result for the rare acid frog and other species at Caloundraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bellvista estate, where low-lying areas grew wallum heath. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When clearing land, the developer used bulldozers with special buckets that cut the heath into big slabs to preserve the vegetation. These salvaged slabs were laid intact into drainage lines through the site.â&#x20AC;?

These boosted aesthetics and improved the quality of water for the acid frogs downstream of the housing development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent half my working life in government and half in private. While no one likes red tape, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there only because we need to address the problems of the past. There are landscape codes and vegetation protection requirements for good reason.â&#x20AC;?

WHAT IF THE SITEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DEGRADED?

W

ith so much Sunshine Coast land formerly used for agriculture, does that mean thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no environment value in degraded sites? Quite the opposite, says surveyor Greg Downes, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked on the Coast for 35 years. Gregâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nambour-based company Downes Survey Group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which also employs town planners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; manages estate projects for clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Development can provide opportunities to restore threatened landscapes and provide good-quality housing at the same time,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restoration can create an attractive, private, natural backdrop for people to live in.â&#x20AC;?

Clustering is particularly useful on rural-residential or low-density sites proposing detached dwellings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First you identify the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantages and constraints, not just in terms of trees but its overall function in the landscape,â&#x20AC;? Greg says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A cleared parcel or one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s covered in weeds may still have great significance as a riparian corridor, for example.â&#x20AC;?

Riparian areas border a water course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you cluster the best-quality home sites, leaving the rest of the land free for rehabilitation.â&#x20AC;? This type of planning can attract financial benefits for developers, such as council incentives or bonuses for restoring degraded areas or repairing habitat fragmentation.

Greg used this method at Buderim Escape, a rural-residential project on the western side of the mountain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clustering lots made better use of cleared areas; provided flatter, elevated home sites with views; and transferred existing approved lots away from an important wildlife corridor,â&#x20AC;? he says.

It was difficult to co-ordinate multiple land owners but the result was worthwhile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Martins Creek gorge system was fully protected while the value of the 74 clustered lots, averaging about 2000 square metres, was also improved.â&#x20AC;?

Greg, who is a member of the UDIA (Qld) EnviroDevelopment Board of Management and the local sustainability committee, believes it is possible to balance the natural and built environments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Industry is getting better at it. Balance also means finding economical solutions because affordability is an important element of sustainability. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sustainable if people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to buy a home.â&#x20AC;?

What is the Statement of Proposals?

T

he Statement is a council document that will guide the new Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme, due to be finalised by 2012. The Statement backs sustainable development, meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;activities, practices and systems that are able to continue indefinitely and strengthen the economy, enhance the natural environment and protect the character and identity of communitiesâ&#x20AC;?.

Glenfields Estate to get emergency road An emergency road linking Mountain Creek with Sunshine Motorway will preserve an important environmental area. new emergency access from Glenfields Estate in Mountain Creek will be located at Berrigan Place.

Last Wednesday, Sunshine Coast Regional Council decided not to build a second road through environmentally sensitive land, opting instead to provide access for residents to Sunshine Motorway in an emergency situation.

Division 6 Councillor Christian Dickson says there are numerous valid reasons for the council not to further consider a road leading north-west to link with Karawatha Drive.

“The first was the environmental cost,” he says. “A road would not only traverse one of the most significant conservation areas adjoining Mountain Creek’s national park, it would divide the land and breach an important wildlife corridor.

“The road, if built, would likely result in property resumptions at the Karawatha Drive end, as well as the requirement for at least two new intersections.

‘The overall cost could be up to $25 million,” Christian adds.

The overall cost could be up to $25

million

Council traffic studies also showed such a road, if built, would not carry much local vehicle movements, but could instead become a ‘rat-run’ for non-local traffic.

The proposed Berrigan Place access will remain locked and inaccessible until required, with access keys held by emergency services and council staff, ensuring local residents are not troubled.

The council is currently arranging a meeting with residents of Berrigan Place living adjacent to the proposed emergency exit point.

“We are also organising a mail-out to all Glenfields residents to advise them of this decision,” he says.

“As mentioned at the last community meeting, it is no kept secret that the council does not support the link to Karawatha Drive.

“As previously offered, residents are very welcome to make comments on the report and I will seek responses to these in due course. I look forward to conducting the mail-out and meeting with local residents to address the emergency access route.”

the decision to invest in Emporio,” Nicholas says.

“Some of the buyers are looking to downsize but don’t want to compromise on the level of amenity, quality of finishes and facilities, and conveniences they are accustomed to. Emporio offers a rare opportunity for people to experience vibrant urban village living at really affordable prices.

“With only six apartments in stage one now remaining, it wouldn’t be long before the final few were sold.

“People in the market for property are more informed than ever before, and they are realising how rare it is to find an opportunity on the Sunshine Coast that offers a mix of ultra-modern residential apartments, a bustling boutique retail precinct including cafes, restaurants and a fresh food marketplace plus professional office space,” he says.

The remaining apartments are selling from $349,000 with a 10 per cent deposit required until completion of construction. Phone Nicholas on 0403 001 992 for more information.

The newly renovated three-bedroom home at 21 Wian Street was so charming that MPP’s auction reporter was almost tempted to bid at Saturday afternoon’s auction. “It is a very cute home,” marketing agent David Hedley-Ward agrees, adding that the fantastic position only a short, flat walk to Buderim has also been attracting local interest.

Auctioneer Simon Thomas told the small crowd that the current owners have relocated overseas and are eager for a quick sale, and David says that although the home was passed in on the day, it has now been priced at $510,000, n w which is very affordable for ssuch a stylish home.

local update

Banking reforms introduced The Federal Goverment moves to create a more competitive banking system.

L

To empower comsumers to get a better deal, the competitive and sustainable banking system will: • Ban exit fees outright on new home loans from July 1, 2011 • Boost consumer flexibility to transfer deposits and mortgages • Introduce a mandatory key fact sheet for new home loan customers • Empower the ACCC to prosecute anti-competitive price signalling • Fast-track legislation to get a better deal for Australians with credit cards • Launch a national community awareness campaign to empower consumers in banking • Set up a taskforce with the Reserve Bank of Australia to enhance ATM competition reforms.

To support smaller lenders so they can put more competitive pressure on the big banks, the strategy will: • Build a new pillar in the banking system based on the combined competitive power of our mutual credit unions and building societies • Confirm the Financial Claims Scheme as a permanent feature of our financial system, to secure critical deposit funding for smaller lenders

• Introduce a further $4 billion investment to support the Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) market, which many of our smaller lenders rely on to make cheaper loans • Accelerate the development of a ‘bullet bond’ structure for RMBS issuance to strengthen and diversify RMBS funding for smaller lenders.

To secure the long-term safety and sustainability of the Australian financial system, the strategy will: • Allow all banks, credit unions and building societies to issue covered bonds to broaden access to cheaper, more stable and longer-term funding, and harness our national superannuation savings to domestically fund more productive investment in our economy • Develop a deep and liquid corporate bond market by launching the trading of Commonwealth Government Securities on a securities exchange, to reduce our reliance on offshore wholesale funding markets.

“The Gillard Government has worked hard to help smaller lenders compete with the big banks by supporting their access to vital funding sources including our deposit and wholesale funding guarantees and our $16 billion investment in AAA-rated RMBS,” says the Treasurer. ”We’ve also introduced tough new laws to crack down on unfair mortgage exit fees – to ensure that customers can walk down the road and get a better deal. Together with our measures making it easier for customers to switch their deposit accounts, this critical reform has been part of our broad agenda to promote choice for consumers.”

“

We’ve introduced tough new laws to crack down on unfair mortgage exit fees

“

ast Sunday, the Gillard Government announced its approach to creating a better banking system with a package of reforms. This includes three broad streams of reform to empower consumers to get a better deal, to help smaller lenders put more competitive pressure on the big banks, and to secure the financial system so it can continue to provide a sustainable flow of credit to households and businesses.

Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer Wayne Swan says this strategy will also apply to the big banks.

“We’ve worked carefully and methodically with our financial regulators to develop a package of reforms that will be effective and enduring, and won’t let the big banks off the hook.

There’s no silver bullet here – the challenges flowing from the global financial crisis can’t be solved overnight – but we’ll keep working hard to give all Australians a fighting chance.”

Coast to get more affordable rentals n its final meeting for 2010, the Sunshine Coast Housing Affordability Taskforce has reaffirmed its commitment to improving affordable housing in the region by supporting the National Rental Affordability Scheme.

The nationwide NRAS program aims to increase the supply of affordable rental housing by 50,000 dwellings in Australia by providing incentives to investors to allow them to offer reduced rent to qualifying tenants. The council’s Social Strategy Portfolio holder and Housing Affordability Taskforce chair, Counsellor Anna Grosskreutz says the NRAS program is an important step to improving affordability on the Coast.

“The taskforce is very excited and encouraged by the amount of interest by developers and investors in the program and has been working with the applicants to make sure their ideas and applications are solid,” Anna says.

“There have been more than 300 applications from the Sunshine Coast, which is a significant number and very encouraging. If successful, the outcome is more affordable rental housing for workers in sectors such as education, emergency services, retail, hospitality, construction, health care, child care and social support.”

Anna says the council recently launched the Affordable Living Strategy as a clear direction to improve affordability on the Sunshine Coast.

“It’s no secret that the Coast is an area of high housing costs relative to income,” she says. “High levels of housing stress and poor affordability can undermine social cohesion and community bonds and also impacts the local economy by reducing the potential labour supply.

“NRAS is one of the many strategies that can mitigate that impact.

“Both council and the taskforce have worked to strengthen partnerships with the State and Federal governments to improve affordability in the region and we encourage the government to consider the need to increase the amount of affordable housing on the Sunshine Coast when assessing applications.”

A buyers’ market

by Pauline Clayton

We take a look at properties for sale for under $400,000. he median price for property in the hinterland is still holding at over $400,000, with a slightly lower figure in Beerwah (where it is $380,000), according to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s September quarter statistics.

Nambour’s property price median, at $330,000, is well below the median price reported for the entire Sunshine Coast of $470,000.

But the market is cool, which

is hardly surprising considering the finance industry remains in lock-down following the global economic downturn.

Agents are working harder than ever before, and the State Government’s introduction of the strict and complex Sustainability Declaration to be completed before a sale has added to the paper load. continued over >

hinterland < from previous page The introduction this month of additional pool safety requirements, with documentation and inspector approval necessary to complete a sale, has further increased costs and paper work.

But it is always either a buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or a sellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market and the Sunshine Coast hinterland remains one of the most sought-after lifestyle destinations in Australia.

Currently, it is most certainly a buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market.

Last issue I went hunting for houses on the market for less than $300,000 and this week I am looking for houses below $400,000.

Nambour is a great value-for-money market and with the revamping of the town centre and the return of Coles, this Sunshine Coast hub is moving forward.

John Pyne at Re/Max Property Sales, Nambour has a ripper listed at $385,000. The dream home of many, the house at 34 Washington Street is aptly titled a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gracious Queenslanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Built around the 1920s, it has been lovingly and carefully restored to retain all the features which draw home owners to this style of building.

The property features high ceilings, tongue and groove timber walls, carved arches over the doorways and a verandah.

It is also, of course, a high-set home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a wise tradition established to keep houses cool in the hot, humid wet summer of this tropical state.

This area has been used as a storage section

This Queenslander in Nambour is listed at $385,000

Whittington Ellis

and lock-up garage. The site is a comfortable 809 square metres, large enough for a vegie garden but not to onerous to mow. In fact, mowing has been reduced with the installation by the current owners of an inground pool.

The sustainability declaration has been completed.

John is not holding open house on this one, but private viewings are available by contacting him.

Nambour, the hub of the Sunshine Coast, is being revitalised with a new-look town centre and the imminent return of Coles and associated shops and services.

A magnet for young working families, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t difficult to find a house in the $300,000 to $400,000 range here.

Craig Heppell of Victor Realty says no matter what type of market prevails, Nambour and surrounding areas offer brilliant value for money for buyers, plus a fantastic array of facilities. The mix of home types range from charming Queenslanders and post-war homes with ornate features and high ceilings, to more contemporary and modern brick or clad homes.

One Craig has listed at 26 Glenys Street, Nambour for $317,500 is surprisingly large and has three bedrooms, a modern bathroom, open-plan living and dining areas and a separate lounge and media room.

Great gardens and a small rainforest area at the back of the block add to the appeal.

cover story

Play it cool

by Jemma Pearson

There’s no reason why you should sacrifice looks for functionality and fun. We show you how to create a contemporary kids room where your child can grow up in style. ven the most enthusiastic amateur interior designer can be stumped by how to create a stylish child’s bedroom. How do you keep the room tidy and well-presented, but still provide your child with a fun, functional space that they’ll want to hang out in? It’s really not that hard. The contemporary bedroom is all about simplicity, and perhaps ironically, borrowing some ideas from the past.

E

Fantastic furniture Choose furniture in durable, natural materials – timber is best. Simple pieces not necessarily designed for children, such as chairs, drawers, wardrobes and chests

Organic

are fine in the kids’ room – cheap moulded plastic pieces in overbright colours will not do in a contemporary space. Keep the furniture simple and let the wall colours, toys and soft furnishings (which can be easily modified and changed) express the child’s likes and personality. Buy quality furniture your child can grow up.

natural fibres are healthier and cleaner

less hanging space you will need, so keep this in mind when planning the cupboard space – most kids clothes can be folded into drawers, but a shoe hanger is a great idea. On a free wall, pop up a few simple shelves to show off photos, precious toys and knick-knacks.

For art’s sake

Nap time Bob the Builder, Spiderman, Dora and Barbie are great, but for a stylish contemporary kid’s room, stick to simpler styles and more muted colours in the soft furnishings. You like your bedroom to be a calming place to relax and sleep and kids are no different. Organic natural fibres are healthier and cleaner too and old-fashioned quilts and embroidered doona covers are great – there is a lot of choice out there for the style-conscious parent. Remember to layer with cushions and throw rugs – kids like a cosy bed as much as you do.

What’s in store?

A large cupboard or built-in where you can establish different levels of storage is probably all you will need in the room to pack things away. Inside the cupboard include drawers of various sizes, shelving and plenty of free space where you can put clear plastic boxes to arrange toys and shoes. The smaller the child, the

Keep the wall colour the one shade and add flourishes with wall decals and stickers. You can buy blackboard stickers shaped like animals and a range of other great decals such as large animals and trees, flowers and fairies which you can pop on the walls or the ceiling to add a bit of fun.

Keep it simple Create some ambience with a large floor lamp in the corner and a smaller lamp on a shelf– a simple design will do. Night lights are also a good idea – you can buy varieties that plug into powerpoints and automatically light up when the sun goes down. Babies and young toddlers love mobiles. There are a range of inexpensive mobiles on the market – some made of paper or the lightest wood. They look beautiful, are inexpensive to buy and the movement can be soothing, especially for little babies. Just remember, for safety’s sake, keep them well out of reach.

Play time

“

The smaller the child, the less hanging space you will need, so keep this in mind when planning the cupboard space

Wooden blocks, old-fashioned toy soldiers, wooden trains and metal cars, teddy bears and simple dolls are perennial favourite toys. When buying new toys for the contemporary child, think about the kinds of playthings that baby boomers grew up with – no plastic in this room, though you can make an exception for quality products like Lego. And keep the electronic toys out of the bedroom for as long as you can.

When packing away, have one box for each type of toy – stuffed toys in one, Lego in the other, cars and trucks in a third.

“

Read all about it Kids accumulate plenty of books and while a bookshelf is great when you’re an adult, keeping books tidy on a shelf in your child’s room might be asking too much – just watch your toddler try to grab one book and the whole lot ends up on the floor.

Keep books in a toy box, too.

Seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s settings Make your outdoor Christmas lunch a memorable one with these tips on decorating the table.

If candles arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your thing, you can wiggle rows of fairy lights down the centre of the table â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this will look beautiful once the sun goes down

When designing the Christmas table decorations there are a few practical considerations to keep in mind. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to restrict cross-table conversation with towering floral arrangements and overpowering decorations, so keep things low so your guests can look each other in the eye.

Candles and pretty table confetti are great inside but beware that on an outdoor table these things can get blown about â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clusters of unscented tea lights in

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

For colour, add silver or gold to the traditional Christmas hues of red and green

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky in Australia that Christmas falls in the middle of summer. Prawns and salads sit alongside the traditional roast turkey and ham on the Christmas table. And with our fondness for outdoor living, many of us Sunshine Coasters will be eating Chrissy lunch outdoors. To make the day really special, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to decorate your outdoor table with as much care as you would with the one inside.

When designing any table setting, remember the basics of good design. Pop the dinner plates about two centimetres from the edge of the table with the knife on the right (blade side in) and the fork on the left. Glassware is placed above the plate on the knife side. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skimp on crockery and cutlery with bread plates and butter knives, spoons for dessert and forks for salads. Place a folded napkin on each plate, then top with the bread plate to give the setting height and interest.

glass holders is the way to go. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy the cheap ones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they tend to smoke and snuff themselves out halfway through the meal. If candles arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your thing, you can wiggle rows of fairy lights down the centre of the table â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this will look beautiful once the sun goes down.

To make your outdoor table Christmasy, think simple, casual and fun.

Start with a crisp white table cloth or placemats. Lay your table with cutlery and crockery. For colour, add silver or gold to the traditional Christmas hues of red and green. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget a Christmas cracker on each plate and a couple of spares in the middle of the table. To the more traditional Christmas centrepiece you can add shells or starfish for a Sunshine Coast flavour. Then you can have some fun adding decorations that reflect your personality. Give yourself plenty of time to lay the table and experiment with different styles.

outdoor living

The heat is on Get ready for summer by creating your own tropical oasis. ummer has arrived and it’s time to spend more time outdoors, but if your backyard isn’t enticing you out of the house, there are things you can do – it’s pretty easy to create an inexpensive tropical garden in a weekend.

The tropical garden is all about layering – lush green plants against natural stone and wooden architectural elements look great. To start, section off parts of your garden and create a variety of plant beds in various sizes and shapes. You can use old wooden sleepers or rows of rocks to separate your various plantings.

S

Between the beds, lay down some simple stone pavers or a smooth pebbled path that meanders around the garden.

The tropical garden is an informal one, so you don’t want the backyard to seem too structured – smooth flowing lines rather than harsh angles are the way to go.

When choosing plants, go for broad-leafed varieties and mix it up so you end up with various layers of height, depth, colour and texture. Start off with a few large pandanus – they are slow to grow so buy the largest plant you can afford. Ginger and heliconias provide great colour, but they do require a bit of love. Agaves make the perfect undergrowth and they multiply, so you’ll never be short of new plants.

Yuccas are fashionable but very expensive. Dracena, cordylines, and foxtail and bamboo palms (which add that lovely rainforesty feel) are also made for the tropical garden.

Finish off with a few personal touches. A stone fish pond filled with lilies and a trickling water feature beside an old timber Buddha statue will make your garden look established. And a comfortable wooden bench scattered with colourful cushions surrounded by tealights or fairy lights will bring a touch of romance. But beware, you might never want to go back inside.
