Cover Story Why we’ll be buying ‘green’ properties in the future

my y MANsion

We’ve heard it all before: ‘It’s easy being green’. But is it? I know my ‘green’ conscience is growing at a much faster rate than my pathetic attempt at a homegrown vegie patch, and I’m not the only one. As I researched this week’s cover story, I had the opportunity to speak with a lot of passionate, eco-keen locals who really are taking an environmentally friendly approach to living.

From their inspiring mindset, to the self-sustainable homes they live in, they are leading the green army.

However, I just as quickly discovered that the government is keen on giving us the subtle green push too. Incentives, covenants and rebates are already prominent and set to increase in the near future. It’s clear that when we buy and sell property in the future, a residence’s energy star rating and sustainable design will inevitably become the key motivating factors in the decision-making process. It’s just a matter of time before we’re all living a brighter shade of green, so if you’re not savvy with this eco shift, it’s best you read on.

cover story

EVERYBODY’S KEEN TO BE GREEN

by Jade Harrison

In an effort to minimise our carbon footprint, innovative eco products and government incentives are forcing developers and homeowners to reassess building methods and materials. It’s do or die for the building industry to go green or get left behind. ver heard of commercial paint you can eat? Or ecofriendly render made from clay? If you think products like these are just figments of a tree-hugging hippy’s imagination, it’s time to think again. These products are readily available and are making their way into residential and commercial buildings all over the Coast.

In fact, when buying property in the next five to 10 years, it’s very likely a high energy-star rating will be at the top of the savvy buyers’ wish list, taking priority over a media room or the need for built-in cupboards. Like a subtle yet conscious paradigm shift, there’s a growing trend emerging towards creating sustainable, eco-friendly living environments, and if you don’t know your integrated water management systems from your five-star energy ratings, then you might need to get with the ‘green’ program.

While the word ‘sustainability’ is slowly working its way into mainstream vocabularies, its meaning is often misunderstood. Ultimately, a sustainable home refers to one that is designed and built to minimise its impact on the environment. It also uses as little energy and water as possible and can respond to the homeowners’ changing lifestyles and circumstances, and most importantly, is a home where you can live comfortably and in harmony with the surrounding climate and habitat.

Only a few years ago the phrase ‘carbon footprint’ was pretty much unheard of, yet nowadays the term makes its way into classroom conversation and is the hot topic on everyone’s lips – even when buying property. The State Government has also been quick to recognise this. As part of its Smart State initiative, the Queensland Government released a discussion paper in June this year titled Improving Sustainable Housing in Queensland.

According to this 56-page paper, most people believe that homes with more sustainability features are worth more. In fact, one initiative presented in the paper suggests that the Sustainability Declaration at Point of Sale and Point of Lease

E

(a document that states the sustainable features in the home and is signed during the selling and leasing transaction), should become a mandatory part of all future property transactions in Queensland – not just the optional feature that it currently is. (Visit www.dip.qld.gov.au) The paper states that in national and international cities where similar declarations have been introduced, an increased number of people considered sustainable features when buying or leasing a home and in some cases, these features were the deciding factor, as opposed to other factors – such as location, environment, new bathrooms and kitchen and plenty of storage – which were the strongest selling points prior to the declaration being introduced.

Acreage specialist and local real estate agent Eric Annett from Leading Edge says people are becoming more aware of their impact on the environment and, in turn, are looking to create living spaces where they can become more self-sufficient in an effort to reduce their carbon footprints.

“Sustainable living is something that people and buyers are looking for,” Eric says. “There’s an obvious need and desire for it out there.

“The more educated the public gets, in terms of sustainable living, the more they’re demanding it in homes they are buying or building.”

This, coupled with the government and local authorities’ push towards encouraging sustainable living through rebates and development covenants, is creating an ‘eco-savvy’ group of property buyers.

It’s estimated that on average, a Queensland household generates approximately 13.77 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions (our household carbon footprint) per year.

Queensland creates 30 per cent of Australia’s emissions, despite having just 20 per cent of its population. The State Government has a plethora of initiatives and incentives – such as rebate schemes – in place to try to reduce this inflated percentage, and one key initiative includes phasing out electric hot water systems in existing homes from 2010.

Government research shows that almost a quarter of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions result from the building sector’s energy demands. Following an agreement between industry and the Australian, state and territory governments, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) includes a mandatory minimum energy efficiency requirement of 3.5 stars for all new and refurbished buildings in Queensland.

The ratings are determined by the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (natHERS), which uses software-based criteria to assess the building envelope, predominately walls, roof, windows and flooring along with its location climate, to allocate a rating. Appliances such as hot water systems and refrigerators can be replaced during the lifetime of a residence and are not taken into account when determining a star rating. The scheme focuses on the construction, orientation of windows and shading, and the design and layout of the home.

Local architect Liza Neil from Gomango Architects is passionate about creating sustainable living. She says one of the most important things buyers must consider when looking at a property is its design and aspect. “The

“

n an Development Institute of Australia (UDIA). He lives in di, and eco-friendly environment at his property in Eumundi, fe. His he makes sure this ethos radiates into his working life.

Yandina-based Rockcote office is different, to say thee least.

“At our Rockcote factory building we’ve got ourr own ps are chooks that give us eggs, and all of our smoko scraps composted and we even have onsite worm farms,” Bob nt says. “We’ve got plenty of beans here at the moment – some of the girls downstairs are selling them.

Sometimes we grow really good vegies from here.”

While he’s humble about his eco-workplace, he’s passionate about the topic of sustainability, but hee believes that support of it is lacking. “Why don’t we build good buildings anymore? Where did we get the idea that a building should be a square, ugly box that ds gets hot in summer and cool in winter and needs eating, huge amounts of fossil fuel energy to provide heating, cooling and lighting just so someone can sit in there?

For thousands of years, civilisations have built ast buildings in tune with nature. It’s only in the last nably 200 years we’ve forgotten how. Building sustainably is just a return to common sense.”

It’s this passion for all things eco that led Bob l to create a number of environmentally friendly products such as paints and renders. “The CSIRO reports that 70 per cent of indoor pollutants come from the paint that’s used. So we developed paint that has zero volatile organic compounds and we based those on the formulas from the Renaissance. Then we wanted coatings that were even more environmentally friendly. So we looked at how the ancient Egyptians painted hieroglyphics on the walls thousands of years ago because they’re still there. It turns out the answer has been literally under our feet the whole time. And we’ve developed a bunch of paints, renders and coatings based on clay. You could pretty much eat them!”

A shift towards sustainable living and reducing carbon footprints clearly goes beyond having a vegie patch and recycling milk containers. With environmentally friendly building products readily available and the governments’ ‘green’ schemes and rebates adding further encouragement, there’s a push towards sustainable living, and it’s gaining momentum. In its discussion paper, the State Government says that to build to a five-star energy rating property, initial construction costs will rise by less than one per cent – dispelling many myths about the high cost involved in creating a sustainable residence. Many local commercial developments are building to a green-star rating and many of the emerging residential land releases have strict covenants in place stipulating homes must be built to specific star ratings. As Eric Annett points out, it’s already out there.

All you need is a ‘green’ mindset and d the willingness to understand it.

“With every single new estate thatt we handle that is rural residential or an w acreage estate,” Eric says, “council now requires you to put in an onsite septicc system to recycle the grey and black waters within the ce which home and there are covenants in place require residences to be of a 3.5-plus star rating. ustainable “If someone is looking for self-sustainable living estates, they’re out there now. It’s actually ommodity, proving to be quite a sought-after commodity, and will become even more so in thee future.”

4. Protect yourself On the Coast, the general rule of thumb is to: protect yourself from summer sun and storms that come from the south-west and west; have flexible shade and ventilation to the south-east and east where you will get great summer breezes but also some storms; be open but protect yourself from all light from the south, which will be even and constant light but can be vulnerable to storms. And if storms come from the north, they can be cyclonic and carry lots of rain. Ideally your living area should be on the north-east side of the house, as this is the best aspect, and you garage should be on the south-west, as this is your worst.

5. Refuse, Reuse, Reduce and Recycle

Liza Neil’s eco househunting hunting tips: 1. Assess the risk of climatee change impacts ood to a house and neighbourhood Future changes to the climate could uld affect properties on ex-swamp land or in low-lying g areas. When looking at buying a house or land, don’t forget orget to assess the potential risks of climate change..

2. Buy a community and an ecology – not just a house Consider where you want to live and how close you want to be to all the services you need and where you work.

The closer it all is together, the less travelling you will do in a car, bus or train, thus reducing your carbon footprint.

3. Know your north point The golden rule of living south of the equator is to face your windows to the north, and when you live this close to the tropics you need to protect your openings. Every house should ideally have big eaves and awnings over windows. The north is where you get all-round light and air without sun-penetration and storms.

Don’t just buy a certain type of house for resale value.

Buy or rent or live where you love to be. Reuse materials where possible. Older houses can often contain aged materials such as timbers that are far stronger than any available today. Reusing materials salvaged from other houses is an obvious way to reduce waste and energy.

Don’t be afraid to reduce the size and expectations of your living. A clever house can use space and give the feeling of large living without actually being big. Bring things back to life instead of consuming the precious resources of the future! For a new house, try to assess products based on their recyclability. Ask yourself: are they fixable; are they recyclable or reusable; and will they decompose leaving no toxins? You can recycle most products from an old timber Queensland house but we can’t yet recycle many new products like foam-filled panel boards.

6. Join the Sunshine Coast Regional Council’s Living Smart Home program Visit www.livingsmarthomes.net.au and join with others to learn more about working towards sustainability.

You will also be rewarded with a special sign that you can put at the front of your house.

Property is big business Becoming a property expert just got a whole lot easier. roperty, development and associated activities represent one of the biggest sectors on the Sunshine Coast, employing about one in five people in the workforce. As part of the growth and maturing of that sector, the University of the Sunshine Coast has established an undergraduate degree in Property and Asset Management, for which enrolments are now open.

“At USC, we are committed to being integrated with our community and supportive of its key business sectors,” says Professor Greg Hill, the university’s deputy vice-chancellor. “Given the importance of the property and development sectors, we have developed undergraduate courses in construction management, town planning and property and asset management, which we believe are the best of their type in Australia.”

USC has established a chair in property and development and Professor Mike

P

Hefferan has taken up that position. Mike comes from QUT, where he was head of that university’s Research Institute in Sustainable Development. Before that, he was an executive director within the State Government and was responsible for much of the Government’s property portfolio and many of its major development projects over recent years.

“Our aim is to provide the sector with industry-ready professionals,” Mike says.

“Balancing skill with the ability to apply it.

For that reason, all of our staff have strong academic qualifications but also have a wealth of industry experience.”

Staff are active in a range of industry associations including the Australian Property Council, UDIA and the Australian Property Institute, where Mike is also the state vice-president.

The Property and Asset Management course provides students with a wide tertiary education in property – ranging

from construction and planning to law, asset and property management, finance, valuation and development and will appeal both to school leavers and those already involved in the industry.

“The property sector offers enormous variety in careers and our graduates will be able to pursue any of a range of those opportunities upon graduation – locally, nationally and internationally,” Mike says.

“The Sunshine Coast offers great case studies for students, given the high-quality, sustainable developments now underway here. Our strong links with the industry will ensure that our students have first-hand experience with them.”

The program also aims to provide the necessary academic qualifications for valuer registration and an application for that accreditation is currently with the Australian Property Institute.

As well as the undergraduate program, USC offers periodic short courses in various

components of the property sector, the next to be held in February 2009. USC is also considering postgraduate programs in property to help support the growing number of property professionals in the Sunshine Coast region.

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT Why do so many TOP agents join RE/MAX?

David Hedley-Ward

Bradley Muffet

Phil Morgan

Shelly Evans

This elite group of experienced agents have all chosen to join RE/MAX Property Associates in just the last few months. They are typical of the agents already in the business, in that they average 6 years experience, with a proven track record of selling at least two, three or four times the industry average.

How can one agency attract so many top agents in such a short time?

In part it is; s THE SUCCESS OF THE EXISTING TEAM THE SUPPORT AND administration services

Exceed Expectations - Everybody Wins

Steve G Pery

Mal Coote

Steve Creighton

Janet Stadegaard

s THE ABILITY TO GET A BETTER RESULT FOR THEIR SELLERS s THE EXTENSIVE TRAINING ON OFFER AND THE LEADERSHIP OF the directors s THE FREEDOM AND COMMISSION ARRANGEMENT s THE DIMINISHING OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR CURRENT BUSINESS But Most Important; It’s the positive attitude of the agents and staff and the information sharing culture. Truly a company where we help each other to achieve the best possible result for our clients.

If you are looking to list be assured a RE/MAX agent works in a true team environment and we guarantee

BUDERIM

CALOUNDRA

Wim Bannink

Warren Chapman

you will see more buyers inspect your property. We meet more buyers than any other company and a skilled negotiator will get the premium price every time.

If you are an agent with the right attitude, we can take your business to another level while giving you more freedom, a fantastic working environment and a better lifestyle. We offer a fee free high commission arrangement for agents who join.

‘Australia’ and ‘New Zealand’ – are they better than the originals?

F

A slice of paradise

Isa, Fraser and Uluru. Made from reclaimed land, Oqyana equates to 1.87 million square metres – plenty of room for the family, but not the Mercedes – there are no cars in this ecologically conscious world. Complete with coral lagoon, a marina, 17 kilometres of walkways, and of course, the balmy Gulf weather, any Aussie would feel right at home here – if you come up with the money for it. Those with the cash – and if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it – can choose from beach villas (you’ll get access to a beach and private berth, plus room for the service personnel), canal homes and apartments. The project is due for completion in 2012. If you can’t wait that long, you can always visit the original Alice, Fraser or Uluru – probably a lot cheaper.

The World is Dubai’s latest engineering marvel

orget ‘around the world in 80 days’. If you’ve got a decent outboard on your tinnie, you can zip around the world in a couple of hours. But it’s not the world as we know it, and you probably won’t see any tinnies here – it’s strictly mega yachts and luxury cruisers in these waters.

Located just four kilometres off the coast of Dubai, The World is the emirate’s latest engineering marvel, a luxurious development of man-made islands representing an aerial image of the world. It’s destined to have the planet’s super rich dipping into their pockets yet again to get a slice of Middle Eastern real estate. Oqyana World First, the Australian and New Zealand section of The World, is made up of 22 islands, with such antipodean titles as Alice,

An artist’s impression gives us a sneak peek of luxurious things to come

Are You Sizing It Up To Downsize?

by Jodie McDonell

I’ve found the interesting factor in the “downsizing” process is that often these days buyers are “upsizing”.

Some residential penthouses and apartments are offering 300, 400 and 500 m2 of living space so sometimes people are moving into larger properties than they’ve just sold.

However, there’s a big difference. There is little or no maintenance, no mowing, no painting, no worries … apartment living takes all that away!

There is an ever-increasing trend in the number of people moving from beautiful waterfront homes, suburban properties and acreages into unit living. Those who’ve already done it only look back to see how wonderful the move has been.

They ¿nd they have more time to do the things they enjoy most, they’re less stressed and they enjoy life more. They also love the fact that they can live with spectacular water views every day of the week.

KEN GUY MAROOCHYDORE

I discovered that the thought of downsizing is all too much for some people and so I developed a simple 16 page guide entitled “Make The Move Easy” which guides you through the process, making it far less daunting.

Give me a call or send me an email and I’ll send you the Make The Move Easy guide. Then, if you like, we can meet up for a chat and I can share more on unit living. That’s if you are sizing it up to downsize?

Eco warrior

by Alli Grant

Setting the bar for builders of luxury homes on the Coast, Mark Hall has recruited some clever friends to construct his house in Mooloolaba. It will be a modern, sophisticated building that ticks all the environmetally friendly boxes.

W

Architect Yurg en

SOUL, Yurgen specialises in the design of environmentally friendly homes and is considered an expert in his field.

“It was great to find such an enlightened client like Mark – someone prepared to put in all the goodies with a commitment to sustainable architecture,” Yurgen says.

“The good news is that more mainstream architects are considering green design as people get more environmentally conscious. People are definitely becoming more aware of their carbon footprint, thanks mainly to the media.

“

It was great to find such an enlightened client like Mark – someone prepared to put in all the goodies with a commitment to sustainable architecture

“

hen Mark Hall inherited the old family home on Culbara Street in Mooloolaba some 18 months ago, he knew he had to do something special with the property. Not content with building just any luxury home where the old house once stood, Mark was determined to do his part for the environment, through the design of a truly eco-friendly house on th e waterfront block, unlike anything the Coast has ever seen.

The Hall family is well known on the Sunshine Coast.

Mark’s dad, Les Hall, was involved in earthmoving and development. Mark’s two older brothers now run the family business, Hall Contracting, while Mark decided to pursue a career in aviation.

A Cathay Pacific pilot, Mark had spent many years living and working overseas for international airlines, but is happy to call the Sunshine Coast home – albeit a one in between his international flying commitments – once again.

The idea to build the environmentally friendly house came about when Mark made the decision to buy his Melbourne-based sister’s share of the Mooloolaba property and design something that he, his sister and her family could enjoy that was also eco-friendly.

Mark joined forces with two friends from G&N Builders, Hamish Gray and Aaron Nicholson – who had completed previous renovations for him – and they hatched the plan to design the green home, which is now under construction.

“Our aim is to show how a luxury waterfront home can successfully incorporate full green credentials,” Mark says.

“We noticed there is no sustainable theme in any of the mid- to high-end houses on the Coast, or anywhere else for that matter. We decided there was an opening for a different approach, a green approach to the luxury housing segment.”

The waterfront house was designed by multi-awardwinning architect Yurgen Beschorner. Through his company

“I am confident that this home will definitely set the benchmark for green design moving forward,” he adds. “It’s truly inspiring to be able to do all of this on a brown-fields site too, as we are reusing an old site and injecting new life into an established suburb.”

In acknowledgement of its green credentials, the home will be submitted to the HIA for a Green Star rating.

With this in mind, the entire project has and will continue to be completely documented, from the recycling during the demolition phase to the various eco measures included in the finished design.

The home, which is due for completion in March 2009, maximises passive solar design and flow-through ventilation courtesy of well-placed windows to reduce the need for

er (top their green dr additional heating and cooling systems eam (pictured in such as air-conditioning. It has been designed to be as close to carbon neutral as possible, with energy-saving devices, such as a fully automated C-Bus system from Clipsal, included.

“Installing the Clipsal system will allow me to turn off all the power in the house with one swipe of a card, guaranteeing that we don’t waste any energy unnecessarily,” Mark explains.

The design also incorporates the use of recycled materials, with timber and bricks from the original family home used in the construction of Mark’s new waterfront abode. When it comes to eco landscaping, the bar has also been raised in the design of the garden, with his mother’s favourite tree, a 35-year-old frangipani, taking pride of place on the perimeter of the property.

From a water management perspective, all the bells and whistles have been included in the design, including a 60-litre water tank to be located under the garage. Mark was prepared to also include grey water use in his home, however, council regulations were too restrictive to make this possible.

“At the moment, you’re only allowed to water your garden with grey water – you can’t even flush your toilet with it,” Mark says. “I was prepared to use grey water in my home, even black water, but wasn’t given permission by council to do anything other than water the garden with it, so it really wasn’t a viable option at this time, which is disappointing.”

The indoor/outdoor swimming pool is a major feature of the home and is solar heated. It has been extended indoors to help moderate the climatic environment inside – a truly ingenious move.

The home will be fully solar powered, with Mark set up to sell excess power back to the grid. It will take between 11 and 13 years for Mark to recoup the cost of this solar investment, but this clearly isn’t his motivation for including solar in the

1 Be water wise In Australia water is limited, so it’s important we all do all we can to conserve it. By installing a rainwater tank and recycling grey water to use on the garden, you can drastically cut your water consumption. Inside, take shorter showers, look out for leaks and install a dual-flush toilet.

Fit tap aerators in the kitchen and bathroom and use a trigger nozzle on your garden hose to reduce the chance of water waste. And save yourself a fine by following water restrictions.

3 Conserve energy

2 Turn your scraps into compost Rather than chucking them in the bin, get a compost where you can pop your unwanted food scraps and garden waste. Garden compost bins and worm farms are available from most hardware stores and some councils. Composting is the natural decomposition or breakdown of food and garden waste into a natural fertiliser – you’ll feel good about reducing land fill and you’ll never have to buy commercial fertiliser again.

4 Think insulation

Apart from the solar power, what are the other costs involved? Surely an eco-friendly home is much more expensive to build?

Unfortunately at the moment it does cost a little more to build and maintain, but people with the right budget and social conscience can easily get their hands on these new green features.

“People who can afford to build a luxury home can afford to think green in their design,” Mark says. “It’s really all about the feelgood factor – I feel proud of the contribution I will be Save with the four Rs: Refuse excess packaging at the More and more homeowners making to the environment.

otential first-home buyers all over Australia have been given an early Christmas present from the Rudd Government this week, in the form of a $1.5 billion rescue strategy.

In an effort to stimulate the slowing housing sector, the previous $7000 first-homeowners grant has been increased to $14,000 for the purchase of an established home.

Building your first home will now be a little easier, too, with a $21,000 grant to help with the construction costs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once again in an effort to help the Australian economy.

Coupled with the stamp duty concessions and other changes announced in the 2008/2009 state

P

budget, this now gives first homeowners in Queensland a headstart of up to $30,000 for new homes and more than $20,000 for those buying up established properties.

This measure will provide an immediate stimulus for new housing and help restore business confidence across the sector, particularly in the building manufacturing sector.

In fact, it is estimated that the boosting of the first-homeowners grant will increase housing construction by 15,000 houses.

The great Australian dream of owning your home is still very much a part of our mindset, and those after their own piece of this country will be grateful for all the assistance they can get. Visit www.osr.qld.gov.au/budget08/index.shtml to find out more.

Located in an upmarket estate, this one-acre block represents great buying for position and views. Homesites are up off the road and tucked back into the block. With a little more clearing, the views to the ocean, across the river, and out to the hinterland would open up substantially.

Positioned between Coolum and Yandina, this is an opportunity to secure a home in a high growth area with the space of acreage.

Standing on a 632-square metre block with room for the kids to play is this four-bedroom home with open-plan living, ensuite and single lock-up garage. Opportunities for the fourth bedroom are many â&#x20AC;&#x201C; turn it into a rumpus for the kids or a home office for business convenience or convert back to a double lock-up garage. The expansive undercover paved patio is an absolute dream for the avid entertainer. The rear of the property boasts a large double-bay powered shed. This property has potential for both homeowners and investors and you should waste no time to inspect.

Tucked away near Woombye, Towen Mountain is a largely undiscovered place offering smaller lifestyle acreages, peace and quiet. This modern-design level-entry home features three bedrooms plus a study, two bathrooms, spacious kitchen, a large, open-plan living area with a cathedral ceiling and private deck. The home is set on an elevated parcel of land, and is beautifully landscaped with 58 established fruit trees. The air-conditioned home has a sunny aspect and features a tropically-set inground pool and spa and a thriving veggie patch. At the bottom of the property is a seasonal creek, fully planted out to provide a wonderful tropical rainforest backdrop and a relaxing haven to escape to. The well-maintained property offers privacy, tranquillity and some great views.

Wurtulla beachside home

Bli Bli convenience

This home is perfectly positioned in a readyto-boom little pocket of Wurtulla and ticks all the boxes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a welcoming neat and tidy home consisting of four bedrooms, two bathrooms and double lock-up car accommodation.

Conveniently located across from a reserve, you are able to enjoy a leisurely walk to the beach and lake. Repainted, carpeted, and with new fittings throughout, it has fully ducted reversecycle air-conditioning to cool on those hot summer days. There is plenty of room for the kids to play on this level block with side access for Dad and his toys.

Imagine yourself sitting on the balcony enjoying cool summer breezes that pass through the valley. Bli Bli is ideally situated as it is close to the Maroochydore CBD, five minutes to Mudjimba Beach and only 10 minutes to Nambour. Bli Bli has its own little shopping village. This beautiful, freshly painted block home sits in an ideal location opposite parkland and only a short walk to the local primary school, which has that old country school feel to it. It is one of the rare large residential blocks in the area and the original owner built the property himself. Purchasing this home would be a solid and sturdy investment, and a perfect start for the first-home buyer or investor. Who could argue at this price?

Humble beginnings

by Dorothy Drane

Doug Biggs has seen big changes to the Sunshine Coast landscape – and in the real estate industry – since he started his career with Day and Grimes 60 years ago. However, his affection for Nambour remains undiminished. oug Biggs is 80 years old and has been around the hinterland real estate scene for so long that he can reasonably claim the title of the industry’s ‘elder statesman’.

Having started with Nambour agency Day and Grimes – a business that was established 13 years earlier by his wife’s father and uncle – in 1949, Doug has clocked up an impressive record with the REIQ, as well as his local community, where he is widely recognised as ‘Mr Nambour’.

Roy Henzell’s grandfather, also named Roy, who was based in Caloundra, was one of the only real estate identities who could claim greater longevity in the local industry.

Doug became foundation secretary of the original north coast branch of the REIQ and was part of the push for the region to be named the ‘Sunshine Coast’.

He later served as branch president and as an REIQ board member for two decades from 1966, including being the

D

first country member to be elected REIQ state president in 1978.

“The REIQ Sunshine Coast branch was the first organisation to adopt the region’s new name,” Doug says.

“The launch was performed by thenstate premier Sir Francis Nicklin, in the 1950s. I’ve been in Nambour for 60 years, 50 of them involved in the real estate business. I handed in my licence at the end of 1999.”

He still has a copy of the original REIQ certificate certifying that Day and Grimes Nambour was a “duly accredited member” signed in July 1936 by Ray White, who was president at the time. The registration number puts the organisation as the 279th REIQ member.

A clipping from the Nambour Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser dated July 3, 1936 describes the real estate landscape on the Coast in that era.

It advertises “good lists of seaside or town allotments, homes and all classes of farms > to pick from”.

15/10/2008 1:03:31 PM

hinterland Day and Grimes â&#x20AC;&#x153;auctioneers, valuators, land and commission agentsâ&#x20AC;? also advertised â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good mixed farm, handy Nambour area, 67 acres, 20 acres cane, five acres pineapples, five acres fallowing, 10 head milkers, two heifers, two horses; complete working plant; thoroughly recommended; average returns last five years: â&#x201A;¤600. Price â&#x201A;¤1,850.â&#x20AC;?

Doug says it was very much a small farms area then, as there was no linking coastal road. Coolum was reached via Yandina, Maroochydore along Main Road and Caloundra

by Caloundra Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We served the coast from Nambour, and Noosa was sold out of Cooroy,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were local agents in some areas. Aub Wilkinson was well-known in Maroochydore.

There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the tremendous number of agents that you now see on every corner.â&#x20AC;?

Day and Grimes Pty Ltd was formed by Vic Day and Jim Grimes, the father and uncle of Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Dawn, in 1936. It was located in the same building in Currie Street where it can still be found today. Doug arrived in Nambour on May 27, 1949 and started work with them on May 31, 1949.

Business was mainly dairy, cane and pineapple farms, citrus orchards, particularly in Palmwoods, as well as mixed farms such as bananas.

Some of the bigger properties were advertised in large blocks in Sydney and Melbourne newspapers for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fly in and inspectâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were farms like you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe,â&#x20AC;? Doug says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some new estates to sell. You could buy a suburban allotment in Nambour for â&#x201A;¤50 and in some fringe areas, you could find a block for â&#x201A;¤25. That same area is now selling for $200,000-plus.â&#x20AC;?

Doug paid â&#x201A;¤1037 and 10 shillings for his first home in Nambour in 1951. The weatherboard house with tongue and groove pine walls and a galvanised iron roof still stands on Hospital Road.

Homes in Nambour could be picked up for â&#x201A;¤950, or up to â&#x201A;¤2000 for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;really good oneâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turnover of homes in Nambour was sound,â&#x20AC;? Doug says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buses would come in from the coast north and south and bring workers to the mill and retail establishments in Nambour, which was the central town of the Sunshine Coast.

Centrality, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taken away.â&#x20AC;?

He says the hinterland has enjoyed a great awakening in real estate in recent times, because a lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to live on the coast or at Buderim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fred Murray [former Maroochy Shire chairman] was right when he once said there would be a greater creep of Sunshine Coast population towards the hinterland because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build east of Maroochydore,â&#x20AC;? Doug says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nambour is seeing a revival. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different mode of living and there is more community interest. There are also lots of schooling opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

He adds that there was also a different culture in real estate back then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it was like to chase a quid just to put bread on the table,â&#x20AC;? Doug says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would think nothing of racing off down the goat track to Tewantin to show a property. You had to go out of your own backyard to make a sale. That was the romance of it. It was not about making millions, but about making a living.â&#x20AC;?

commercial property

Developers see green Sunshine Coast developers are leading the way in adopting eco-friendly principals and sustainable materials in the design and construction of commercial real estate.

RGD Property Group’s environmentally sustainable development the Edge

t’s no secret that as a society we are becoming much more environmentally conscious, particularly in our personal lives. Thankfully, this commitment is quickly extending to our professional lives, with an increasing number of businesses thinking eco.

Even some of the biggest developers are seeing green, with a commitment to designing and producing some of the most sustainable commercial buildings in the country right here on the Sunshine Coast. ‘Green buildings’ will soon become the norm rather than the exception.

Seventy per cent of a building’s environmental impacts are locked in during the design stage of a development, so it’s important that developers get it right early on to ensure a successful and sustainable outcome.

So what does it mean to be sustainable in the world of commercial dwellings and large-scale developments?

The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) defines a sustainable commercial building (or green building) as “one that incorporates design, construction and operational practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of development on the environment and occupants”. The building must also be economically viable, and potentially enhance the social amenity of its occupants and the community.

15/10/2008 12:49:58 PM

In Australia, and internationally, sustainable commercial buildings are referred to using a variety of terms – the property industry isn’t short on jargon! They can be described as ‘green’, ‘bio-climatic’, ‘environmental’, ‘low-impact’ or ‘eco-tech’. When it comes to official ratings, buildings can be given a Green Star rating (courtesy of the Green Building Council of Australia), a NABERS rating (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) or an ABGR rating (Australian Building Greenhouse Rating).

Or all three.

Confused? Don’t be. All three ratings mean that the commercial dwelling in question meets stringent national requirements, which is good news for your business and the environment.

For example, the Green Star program (managed

by GBCA) covers a number of categories that assess the environmental impact that is a direct consequence of a project’s site selection, design, construction and maintenance. There are nine categories included in the program, which can result in a four, five or six Green Star Certified rating (level six is considered world leadership).

NABERS ratings are based on building performance data (for example water and energy consumption) over a 12-month period, following a scale of one to five – five being the best.

A number of local developers are leading the way in the provision of sustainable commercial buildings. Reed Property Group, with its Emporio development at Sunshine Cove, and RGD Property Group are two developers who are affecting real change.

The RGD Property Group’s latest commercial development, the Edge, is located on the banks of Lake Kawana and offers tenants more than 7000 square metres of premium waterfront floor space as well as the latest in environmentally sustainable building design.

Testament to RGD’s commitment to sustainable buildings is evidenced by its registration of the Edge with the Green Building Council of Australia and its aim for the Edge to become the first nationally accredited Green Star-rated building on the Sunshine Coast.

Rob Grabbe from RGD recognises the long-term environmental, social and economic benefits of the Green Star rating program.

“Green buildings offer a range of important benefits,” Rob says, “including lower operating costs, growth in rental rates and financial gains through increased productivity and lower absenteeism.

“Environmentally friendly buildings also have strong appeal to government and corporate tenants, who prefer to house their staff in buildings which have reduced running costs and provide a healthier work environment.

“It’s important that we embrace these changes. We don’t want to be left behind as I really see this as the way of the future for the development industry.”

New industrial estate in Caloundra

he much-anticipated Sunshine Coast Industrial Estate, which is located next to Caloundra’s Corbould Park Raceway, is well underway and interest from buyers is already gaining momentum.

Caloundra has struggled in recent times to meet the demand for suitable industrial land/office space due to strong population growth, but the new Caloundra Industrial Estate will open up many possibilities.

The development by the State Governments Property Services Group (PSG) is designed to suit a range of general and low-impact industries, such as manufacturing, processing, reprocessing and ancillary activities for the owner-operated business.

The initial stage of the project encompass 73 lots ranging

T

from 2,473 to 26,160 square metres, and preliminary prices have been released at $247.50 to $374 per square metre.

The estate will provide many employment opportunities and will be a driving force for the local economy.

This exciting new estate features an array of location benefits for the commercially minded, due to its close proximity to the Bruce Highway. It is also only 10 minutes to Caloundra’s central business district, pristine beaches and restaurants.

Address: 253 Pierce Avenue, Caloundra West Price: From $247.50 per square metre Agent: Henzells Contact: Len Greedy 0401 691 807 or Alan Gray 0414 894 084

Mooloolaba Esplanade strata lots up for grabs Graham Watterston and Brendan Robins are the exclusive agents for a 264-square metre strata-titled street-level property in Mooloolaba.

Forming part of the Pacific Beach Resort, there are two tenants occupying five separate strata lots: Lorna Jane has a five-year lease over the front two lots and Italian restaurant Bella Venezia has a 10-year term over the three rear lots.

The property is appreciating a net income of approximately $286,000 per annum between the two tenants.

Mooloolaba Esplanade is one of the best lifestyle retail strips in Australia and is becoming busier each year with locals and the growing tourist trade.

Graham says, “The owner is motivated to achieve a sale and the decision was made to offer the property for sale with

a closing date. Our instructions are clear – submit all offers to the owner, a good offer may even secure the property prior to the closing date.”

The properties can be purchased individually or in one line. “Mooloolaba Esplanade retail property is tightly held,” Graham adds. “The beachfront strip is often compared to Noosa’s famous Hastings Street, however, presently it is up to 30 to 40 per cent cheaper and provides views over the ocean.”

Price: For sale by expression of interest closing Thursday

October 30 at 4pm.

new home & land

New bushland park for Peregian Springs Residents of the Peregian Springs community have another reason to stay close to home with the creation of a new park. new one-hectare bushland park unveiled in the FKP Property Group’s $700 million Peregian Springs masterplanned community will cater for runners to readers and everyone in between.

Three quarters of the park, which cost $500,000 to develop, is pristine native bushland, and will provide another social hub for Peregian Springs residents.

A 70-metre elevated observation

A

boardwalk has been integrated within the tranquil setting, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy the lush canopy of surrounding vegetation.

To provide residents with the greatest opportunity to use the park, FKP has incorporated landscaping, outdoor furniture and fitness equipment, ensuring the open space complements the masterplanned village’s existing communal amenities.

FKP’s executive general manager of land, Bryan Jackson, says well-equipped communal green spaces have become hallmarks of the national developer’s communities.

“One of the outstanding features of Peregian Springs is the open vistas created by the natural parklands and conservation areas, featuring the golf course,” Bryan says.

Success for Sippy Creek rehabilitation Investa Property Group’s conservation effort has been given the green thumps up. ustainability is an important issue for Bellflower and Palmview community creators Investa Property Group, who are nearing the end of a four-year rehabilitation of Sippy Creek.

The extensive $4 million rehabilitation effort has received a number of accolades, including awards in 2007 from the Sunshine Coast Environment Council and the Planning Institute of Australia.

Sippy Creek drains the Ilkley Ridges and an area of the Mooloolah Plains into the Mooloolah River, but has suffered the ill effects of cattle grazing over several decades. As a major local landholder, in 2005 Investa stepped in to facilitate a massive conservation effort to improve the degraded waterway.

Environmental and ecological consultants were commissioned to develop a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for the are. The rehabilitation effort involved the replanting of some 400,000 seedlings across 130 different native species and is being carried out over an area of approximately 21 hectares.

S

“In all our masterplanned communities, we set out to ensure residents have the space to rest and play in the way they enjoy most.”

Through the eight-year history of Peregian Springs, FKP has placed as much focus on building the community’s social fabric as its physical infrastructure.

FKP has created homes for thousands of Australians as part of a portfolio of land and property developments valued at $5 billion.

Revised home-owner grant has a triple surprise On Tuesday, the Federal Government announced significant changes to the first-home owner’s grant, by tripling it to a whopping $21,000 for new homes and $14,000 for existing homes in an effort to stimulate business activity.

HIA’s managing director Dr Ron Silberberg says when the grant was doubled for new house purchases in 2001, the number of new dwellings built increased by 3000 per month over a nine-month period. HIA expects this new initiative will provide a boost in production of 15,000 new dwellings.

“This measure will provide an immediate stimulus for new housing and help restore business confidence across the sector, particularly in the building product manufacturing sector,” he says.

Rob Douglas, director of the Sunshine Coast’s Adenbrook Homes, thinks the revised grant will have a spillover effect on industry and the local economy.

“I think the grant for new homes will make it more affordable for first-home buyers to get into the market. With the $21,000 grant and the changes to stamp duty, there’s massive savings there.

After all, there are still house and land packages on the Coast you can pick up for around $360,000 to $400,000.”
