Transformed the very concept of inner city living. Taking it from busy and bustling thoroughfares to tranquil, parkland community. Imagine a park, but in the middle of a CBD. There are now several hundred families calling Sunshine Cove home. They too are now enjoying the parks and lake, bike and pathways and of course the ease of a true inner city, coastal lifestyle. From waterfront homesites ready to build on, to homes ready to move into, we will have something special to show you.

Sound like the sort of place you’ve been looking for? Why not drop by and take a look around for yourself. And when you are ready to know more, you’ll find us by the lake too, at 17 Hidden Place, Maroochydore.

FROM THE EDITOR

f you went along to the Kenilworth Cheese, Wine and Food Fest on Easter Saturday you may have sampled local cheeses, olives, sausages, wine and maybe even camel milk, along with thousands of festivalgoers.

The huge crowds that turned out this year are proof the Sunshine Coast has entered a new era of food fascination that extends far beyond the pineapples and sugarcane of old.

Agribusiness has been identified as one of the Sunshine Coast’s seven high-value industries and we are fast gaining a reputation for the quality of our produce, particularly in niche areas.

This week, Jemma Pearson takes you on a mouthwatering food tour of our region – you may be surprised at the sophistication of the products coming out of the Sunshine Coast today.

Also this week, Leigh Robshaw interviews Red Balloon founder Naomi Simson, who will visit the Coast in early June for the inaugural SHINE Business Women Conference. If you’ve seen her on Channel Ten’s Shark Tank, you’ll know she’s a no-nonsense motivator and she’s keen to inspire local business women to think big and multiply their wealth.

Also this week, we have a quick chat with diet guru Annette Sym, go to the idyllic Greek island of Kefalonia for a yoga retreat and we bring you some beautiful Australian-made fashion available on the Coast. Enjoy!

QUICK CHAT

HEALTH & HOME Where do you live? In Buderim – my piece of paradise.

First job? At Coles in 1970 in Hobart in the Christmas school holidays. Back then Coles was more like a department store than a supermarket.

Your greatest regret? I don’t like to regret as I feel that we experience both good and bad in life and it shapes us into who we are.

What are you currently working on? I have three projects on the go – an online mentoring program, taking steps to export my shakes into China and another secret project.

What achievement are you most proud of? I am very proud of the success of my cookbooks and how they have helped so many people to live healthier lives.

A very proud moment was receiving my honorary senior fellow award from the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Your family includes? My husband of 43 years, Bill, daughters Kellie, Rachel and Jenna, their gorgeous husbands and six grandchildren.

First car? Bill and I bought a blue and white VW Kombi when we were living in Sweden and travelled all over Europe for three years. I loved that it was our home as well as our car.

Favourite book? Anything by Danielle Steel.

What are you reading now? Abducted

by TR Ragan.

“We experience both good and bad in life and it shapes us into who we are”

Favourite song and why? Anything by Ed Sheeran.

BIO

Annette Sym is one of Australia’s favourite weight-loss mentors and the bestselling author of the Symply Too Good To Be True cookbook series. She has helped thousands of people lose weight and keep it off through her low-fat cookbooks, breakfast shakes, online mentoring program, speaking events, workshops and her Symply Too Good To Be True website and Facebook page.

You are happiest when? I’m with my family.

What frustrates you the most? Not being able to reach enough people with my deliciously healthy recipes – 65 per cent of Australians are overweight or obese and it’s my life passion to do more to address this issue.

How do you deal with your frustrations? I try not to take things personally and look for the good in whatever it is.

Best advice you’ve been given? To listen to my gut instinct and get out of my head. When in doubt I always listen to what my gut tells me.

photo, but it motivated me to make some serious changes, which led me to lose 35 kilos in 20 months.

I’ve now been in my healthy weight range for 25 years.

It also led to writing my seven best-selling cookbooks.

What is your favourite place on the Sunshine Coast and why? I love going to Bulcock Beach on a Sunday with my friend Angi. The beach really grounds me.

If you could change one thing on the Sunshine Coast, what would it be? I would love to see more flight destinations out of the airport to avoid the drive to Brisbane.

Best day in your life and why? My wedding day. Bill is my hero, he is my world and I love him so much.

Can you nominate a day in your life that turned out to be a turning point and why? This is easy – the day I saw the photo of me in a swimsuit at Mooloolaba Beach weighing 100 kilos. I cried a bucket of tears over that

If you could tell your 18-year-old self anything, what would it be? To stop eating the junk food and love myself in a different way, by being healthy and fit.

If you could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive, who would they be? My Nanna Parker and my dad, who have both passed away. The other person would be Oprah – she is amazing.

If you won $1 million, how would you spend it? I would buy a motorhome with a jet ski. And of course, I would share the winnings with my family.

Tea or coffee and how do you have it? Neither, I am a herbal tea girl all the way.

FEATURE STORY

BREAKING NEW GROUND

The Sunshine Coast agribusiness industry is producing a huge array of beautiful produce and uniquely delicious products.

So take the time to discover what’s on offer from our local farmers and producers. WORDS: Jemma Pearson.

“Get out there and chat with the producers at the farmers markets and look out for opportunities to visit farms”

heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables.

“Heirloom vegies have had a revival. People are rediscovering flavours.” She says local chefs and the public are calling for more.

“The growers are experimenting.

Sometimes the chefs will work closely with growers and ask them to grow a certain crop – there has been an overall push for people to

Petra Hughes have organic produce and they are steering away from GM stuff. They are moving back to the heirloom varieties because they are more nutritious.” She says while a lot of the broad-acre crops are disease resistant and easy to grow, heirloom varieties, which are trickier to produce, offer wonderful flavours.

It’s an exciting time for those involved in agribusiness and those watching on. “There is always something new,” Ms Hughes says.

“Producers, chefs and growers are all looking to minimise waste and there has been a lot of collaboration.” To reduce waste a producer might look at how they can use their excess fruit and veg, and value add to their business.

She cites the examples of mushroom grower Noosa Earth using spent coffee grounds, a commercial kitchen that is growing rosella and turning it into preserves, and a grower who is making bamboo preserves. “A lot of people are doing innovative things to get the most out of their crop.”

She adds, “People are always looking for ideas. A lot of producers are experimenting with their own produce.”

So, where can you discover for yourself what is going on? Farmers markets, such as Noosa and Kawana, are good places to start, says Ms Hughes. “Go to the Hinterland Harvest Market at Woombye. Road trip to Conondale for the Crystal Waters markets.

“Just ask questions too. There is a lot grown in the region. We buy things in supermarkets because it’s accessible but approach things from a seasonal perspective – fresh fruit and veg is nutrient dense.”

Get out there and chat with the producers at the farmers markets and look out for opportunities to visit farms – many producers have open days and offer tours where you can visit and ask questions.

“Make an effort to support local,” Ms Hughes says. “They are our hard workers in our community and they are passionate and they deserve to be supported.”

eaches, beautiful landscapes, friendly locals – it’s what the Sunshine Coast is all about. But take a step back in time and you’ll find it wasn’t the waves and sand that first drew European settlers here in the mid 19th century. Timber getters and cattlemen turned their attention to the region’s hinterland and exploited the fertile earth, before farmers moved in to grow crops such as pineapples and sugar cane.

Fast forward 150 years and we boast a vibrant agricultural industry, though many locals and tourists are unaware of it.

When Petra Hughes started her website Local Harvest – The Sunshine Coast Food Directory about 12 years ago, she knew a thing or two about the region’s growers and producers, but she was frustrated that others didn’t – “there was lots going on in the region but no one knew about it”.

While the thriving timber getting and sugar cane industries have been consigned to history, the region still produces a huge array of fruit and vegetables. Small-scale farms and niche growers dot the landscape, while our producers are creating innovative products many locals are just discovering.

“The Sunshine Coast has really evolved,” Ms Hughes says, adding that while we don’t have the broad-acre crops of other regions, our growers are experimenting with niche produce and new products. She is excited to see garlic is now being grown in the region while other growers are experimenting with

When its wine time head to Montville’s Flame Hill Vineyard. At the cellar door you can sample the various drops – including sauvignon blanc, fiano, verdelho, pinot gris, tempranillo, shiraz and merlot – before you buy. For a paddock-to-plate experience book in to the restaurant, or stay even longer – there is accommodation on the property.

At Conondale’s Baranbali Farm you can meet Murray grey cattle, Wessex saddleback pigs, sheep and poultry that graze happily on the 80 acres of organically certified land. This means the farm’s ethically produced meat comes from happy, well-cared-for animals. The farm is open on Friday afternoons or by appointment. myweeklypreview.com.au

$1 MILLION

The Sunshine Coast Solar Farm is on track to reach the milestone of $1 million in savings. The farm has surpassed targets in its first year, offsetting more than 100 per cent of Sunshine Coast Council’s total electricity consumption. The electricity output from the 15-megawatt farm – the first to be built by a local government in Australia – has been steadily increasing since it was commissioned in July last year with recent monthly figures significantly exceeding forecasts. Mayor Mark Jamieson says the electricity generation from the farm during January allowed council to offset 129 per cent of its total power consumption.

REVIEW

BRIDGING THE GAP IN MOOLOOLABA’S BIKEWAY Mooloolaba is a step closer to a new $5.15 million pedestrian and bicycle bridge after Sunshine Coast Council unveiled the design. This cycleway bridge is jointly funded by the council and the Queensland Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grants program, with the State Government contributing $2.57 million towards the project. The five-metre-wide bridge will be an entry statement into Mooloolaba, spanning Mayes Canal and connecting the two complete stages of the region’s flagship separated bikeway and adjacent coastal pathways. Construction is scheduled to start in the coming weeks and is due to be completed before December 2018.

STORY DOGS MAKE AN IMPACT Some year two students at Mountain Creek State School have started to practise their reading with a special visitor – Bear the Story Dog – thanks to Friends of Maroochydore Library. Community Programs Portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay says Bear and his handler Lori (pictured) have been sponsored by the Friends of Maroochydore Library for the 2018 school year through the Story Dogs organisation. The program allows selected children to read to an accredited dog and its handler to engage and inspire an enjoyment for reading and gaining knowledge. The Story Dogs program relies on volunteers who donate their time to visit schools and other organisations who cover the costs through dog sponsorships, fundraising and donations.

$10,000 LOCAL GYMNASTS SHINE Gymnasts from Sunshine Coast clubs are celebrating wins at the 2018 South-east Queensland Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) Senior Regional Championships held in Brisbane last week. Maroochy Beach Gymnastics’ Harrison Williams won the Level 8, Under 14 category and Sunshine Coast Gymnastics Academy’s Brayden Martin took first place in the Level 9, Under 17. At the 2018 Aerobic Gymnastics Queensland Cup, which took place in on the same weekend, Showtime Aerobic Gymnastics athletes Roxie O’Brien came third in the National Development division, Darcy Lawton won the Level 10 senior division and Daisy Miles won the Level 9 division.

Two dog owners have been ordered to pay almost $10,000 in fines following prosecutions by Sunshine Coast Council. The first case involved two dogs attacking a small dog. The magistrate observed the injured animal suffered considerable trauma and imposed a fine of $1200 and ordered the owner to also pay $192.30 in court costs and $500 in professional costs. The second case involved a dog attack on another dog, a person and another animal. A conviction was recorded and the dog owner was found guilty of five charges, resulting in a $6000 fine and an order to pay $288.45 in court costs and $1750 in professional costs.

100,000 HOURS PROJECT COMES ALIVE Sunshine Coast businesses will be able to spend more time hiring staff and helping customers and less time dealing with back-office paperwork thanks to a Queensland Governmentbacked initiative. Known as the 100,000 Hours project, the initiative has been spearheaded by Noosa Heads-based financial technology company Promis and already has six businesses participating. Promis co-founder Cameron Lawrence says the aim of the project is to save 1000 Sunshine Coast businesses an average of 2.5 weeks each over the next 12 months, through using Promis’ automated invoicing and payments management tool. myweeklypreview.com.au

akiwatanga.

It is a Maori word only recently introduced to the New Zealand natives’ dictionary this year and translates to ‘in his/her own time’.

It is a beautiful way to describe autism, and a fitting team name for a Mountain Creek couple who are lacing up their shoes to join more than 200 people to walk 25 kilometres from Coolum to Mooloolaba for the inaugural STEPS Autism Treehouse’s Trek for Autism.

Cory and Jess Slatter have four sons, two of whom are on the autism spectrum.

Lincoln, 10, has Asperger syndrome and is highly intelligent but struggles in social situations while his younger brother Sebb, six, has autism and ADHD and is “angry and aggressive” says Ms Slatter.

“They are very different, and their struggles are very different, but they still get up every day and face their challenges. They go to school even though they struggle and there are often tears, but they still go. If they can get up and do that every day, we can put on some sneakers and fundraise,” she says.

Ms Slatter says Lincoln was diagnosed two years ago and at the time, she felt like “a deer in the headlights. I was an emotional mum and I was wondering where the hell I would go and what I would do when I met [STEPS Autism Treehouse co-ordinator] Claire Gilmour through Facebook. I have since done multiple workshops through STEPS and connected with their online forums so I feel part of a community of other parents who are going through similar things,” she says.

“My eldest Jack (12) and youngest Quin (three) are neurotypical, but I saw Lincoln and Sebb were very different in the way they managed their emotions and the way they expressed themselves.”

Ms Slatter says their family is constantly learning to help her sons navigate their

challenges, which is made easier with the support and services offered through STEPS Autism Treehouse.

“This is why I’m walking. They have been there for me every step of the way,” she says.

The Slatters have gathered a team of eight walkers, named the Takiwatanga YaYa’s in honour of her friendship circle’s tradition of having get-togethers called ‘yayas’. They have eclipsed their initial fundraising pledge of $500 and are now hoping to more than triple that amount.

Ms Gilmour says Autism Treehouse merged with STEPS Group Australia in October last year, enabling them to coordinate their efforts to help local families.

“This merge enables STEPS Autism Treehouse to provide more life skills programs, educational workshops and social events for children and young people living with autism, as well as working with families to support and guide them through the NDIS planning for their family members,” she says.

“I experienced first-hand how hard it is to navigate the world of therapies and deciphering information, all the while going through the grief of realising the challenges your child will face as they go through life.

“If STEPS Autism Treehouse can relieve some of the pressure by giving families an information hub that might make the process a little less daunting, then that’s what matters to us.”

The Trek for Autism is on April 8 starting at 9am from Coolum and finishing at 4pm in Mooloolaba.

Your money questions answered

with Michael Rowland

Do you have any ideas about ways to prepare for the end of financial to maybe help improve our financial position and get us set for the year to come? (A&N 4573)

SAFE AND SOUND If you have been lax with the security on your mobile phone, it might be time to look at installing something like Keeply. This is a must-have app for storing your private moments and other sensitive data that you don’t want others to see. It secures your personal photos, passwords, credit cards, notes and videos via four-digit code. All the information within the app is encrypted with the latest iOS 7 encryption when your phone is locked with a passcode and your information is never being stored in a cloud or a server, so it stays on your phone and is never exposed to the internet. The phone will take a photo of anyone who tries unsuccessfully to access your data and in an emergency, placing your phone face down prompts the app to automatically close.

If the idea of strapping on a GoPro seems cumbersome to you, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The FITT360 is a 360-degree camcorder that you can wear around your neck and is due for release in October this year. The product is one of the first from a Samsung spin-off called LinkFlow and was made as part of Samsung’s C-Lab, the company’s creative labs program. The FITT360 boasts ‘true first person view’ with three individual cameras located on the band you wear around your neck. Vision captured from these cameras can then be seamlessly joined for full-screen vision that will pair perfectly with VR devices, or you can live stream your recordings in real time. The product boasts 90 minutes of battery life, and is heat and shock proof as well as water resistant to the elements.

Keeply is free to download through the Apple Store or Google Play with optional in-app purchases.

FITT360 is available on kickstarter.com with pledges starting from $US396 (about $490) getting buyers a FITT360 device, pouch and charging cable with estimated delivery in October.

LATEST PODCASTS Following the release of their first book Homer’s Odyssey this year, Brendan Dando and Mitch Grinter’s Four Finger Discount podcast has received a surge in listeners. The Australian duo started the podcast, which is the home for all things Simpsons, in early 2015 and now have thousands of regular listeners. Episodes revolve around the guys dissecting some of the best-known (and also the lesser-known) Simpsons episodes and with more than two decades’ worth of seasons, there is no shortage of fodder.

You can listen to the Four Finger Discount podcast at fourfingerdiscount.com.au.

Usually as we approach the end of financial year (EOFY) we begin thinking seriously about tax effective spending and investing, extra concessional contributions to superannuation and financial spring cleaning.

It’s often the only time of year that we know how much we’re able to afford in terms of extra super contributions. EOFY is also a great reminder to take a step back and check how you’re going in terms of savings, debt, investments and more.

But how do we best take advantage of this valuable urge to get our financial affairs in order? The best way to start is to be fully across your financial position in the lead-up to EOFY. This helps you avoid financial shocks and helps you make informed decisions.

Don’t be afraid to ask yourself questions.

How much super have you contributed this financial year? How much are you allowed to contribute? How much cash do you have?

What expenses are coming up and what can you pre-pay? What are your debt levels?

It’s wise to avoid getting too close to the end of financial year and realising you could put some extra super away before June 30, only to discover it’s too late as you wanted it done through salary sacrifice and you may only have one pay period left to do it, or you’ve missed your super fund’s end of year cut-off time for contributions to be made.

What’s even worse is when you get to the end of June and realise you should have stopped salary sacrifice a month or two earlier because you’ve exceeded your contributions

cap and now have to pay extra tax.

This is the time of year to begin a regular financial health check regimen.

If you’ve got a savings, investment, superannuation or repayment plan for instance, then it’s a good idea to write down at least once a year a summary of your overall financial position. Even better, do it monthly.

How much do you have in the bank? How much do you owe on your credit card? How much has your mortgage been paid down?

What are your investments worth? How are you tracking compared to last month or last year etc.?

Writing down and keeping the results means you can constantly track your performance, identify when your strategy is not working and ensure you are always on the way to your desired goal. EOFY is the perfect time to kick-start such a discipline as each year, at the same time, you will be reminded to re-visit your financial health check.

It’s also important to seek financial advice in the lead up to EOFY. Your financial adviser will be aware of the latest regulations and policies, especially around the topics of super contributions caps and tax rules, and can discuss any upcoming changes, which often apply from 1 July.

There is a lot that can be done leading up to the end of the financial year that can improve your position, especially if you have first developed an understanding of what your position is and how you want that to change.

Don’t be afraid to seek advice from your financial adviser and to ask the right questions from the right person.

Rebecca’s makeup bag essentials

5 MAKEUP TIPS FOR THE OVER 60S 1. Apply blush to the upper part of your cheekbones rather than on the apples of your cheeks – it helps give your face more of a lift.

Bourjois Le Duo Blush (pictured) is a blush duo with two complementary shades, $20 from Priceline.

2. Use nude shades of eyeshadow on the lids and under the arch of the brow and a darker tone in the crease.

3. Use creamy lipsticks in bright or saturated colours rather than nude shades. Choose a hydrating lipstick and steer clear of matte lipsticks, which can be very drying.

4. Bypass black eyeliner – go for browns in a soft pencil.

5. Avoid cakey foundations and powders, which accentuate lines. Opt for a dewy, tinted moisturiser or a foundation.

Rebecca Gibney has joined a list of celebrities going makeup free on magazine covers with her Who Most Beautiful People 2018 cover. The 53-year-old is ageing gracefully and says she’s proud of her lines and wrinkles.

She takes care of her skin with Olay products and keeps a few must-haves in her makeup bag:

1. Tweezerman ProCurl Eyelash Curler, $43.95 from pharmacies and department stores. 2. Chantecaille Lip Chic Lipstick in Patience, a nude rose shade, $55 from Mecca Maxima. 3. Burt’s Bees Lip Balm, $6.95 from pharmacies.

4. Chantecaille Loose Powder in Light, $95 from Mecca Maxima. 5. L’Occitane hand cream, $14 from L’Occitane at Sunshine Plaza.

Perms, shags and long straight stands are set to be big this year, but we’re loving this beautiful short style. The long layered pixie, as worn here by Ruby Rose, allows plenty of length on the top so you can still pull it into a tiny ponytail, but it’s cut very short at the back. While it needs daily styling, it’s a versatile cut that suits most face shapes and looks great in a gorgeous chocolate shade like Ruby’s.

GOLDEN BROWN: AUTUMN’S NEW NAIL SHADE We love the new beautiful shimmery brown and nail polish shades coming out for autumn. It’s not as girly as pink or as classic as red, but the right shade of brown is a bit different and it suits any age group.

Here are two to try:

Mavala Nail Colour in Zanzibar, $8.50 from pharmacies. Sienna Byron Bay Nail Lacquer in Chocolate Brown with Frost Shimmer, $25 from Flannerys and Kunara.

The rise in mental health issues has been linked to heart disease, infertility and allergies, associated with an emerging Gene disorder affecting 40% of Australians. Is your family at risk?

We all know someone on antidepressants of some kind, it’s almost accepted as normal to suffer mood disorders, depression, panic attacks and anxiety, or sleep disorders. For some is may be as extreme as behaviour such as paranoia, OCD, perfectionism, lack of motivation, controlling tendencies, addictions, or alcoholism. For others, the same gene issue may cause sudden heart attack, infertility or food and chemical sensitivities for you or your family.

We must ask the question, why is this happening? These symptoms are becoming more prevalent with each generation, seeing a rise in children with behavioural and learning difficulties, and devastatingly, the increase in youth suicide, and self-harm ritualistic behaviour. One possible cause may be that these are symptoms of a gene disorder, on the rise in Australia, affecting up to 40% of people, which may lead to a serious risk of developing severe depression, or psychiatric disorders.

Suicide is the leading cause of death between ages 15-29 in Australia. We need to start asking the question, why is this happening?

Those with a gene mutation will have trouble producing brain chemicals and hormones sufficiently, also various other body system functions will be malfunctioning. Food intolerances are one symptom that this condition can cause, with many more, so often behaviour can be worse after certain foods. The gene mutation can be managed well, with a rapid response time, drastically improving quality of life and happiness, reducing risk of genetic heart conditions, and fertility issues, though most people go undiagnosed. Two types of mutations can cause opposing sets of symptoms, so a diagnosis is crucial.

Treating the condition allows us to repair the body, balance hormones, improve detoxification, reduce environmental reactions, and improve sensitivities, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Visit www.advancedwellness.com.au and take a simple quiz online to identify if you may be at risk. The right diagnosis and investigation into your health is the key to finding happiness and balance in your life for you and your family.

WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? Red Balloon founder and Shark Tank entrepreneur Naomi Simson is heading to the Coast to share her wisdom with local business people at the inaugural SHINE conference. My Weekly Preview caught up with her ahead of the event. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

IMAGES: CHANNEL TEN

N

aomi Simson wants women in business to start thinking bigger. The entrepreneur launched Red Balloon in 2001 with $25,000 and a second-hand computer and has turned it into an award-winning business that turns over more than $25 million a year.

Many Australians will have seen her share her business smarts on Channel Ten’s Shark Tank, and she’s keen to inspire Sunshine Coast women to reach higher when she visits in June as a keynote speaker at the inaugural SHINE conference. She is part of a stellar line-up of speakers who will share their stories, tips and tools for extraordinary business success.

“I’m curious to understand why women don’t grow businesses that are bigger,” Ms Simson says. “Why is this so?

That is a challenge I have. It appears to me at the point they get to some success, they feel they can’t control everything.”

She encourages women (and men) who lack confidence to read her book Ready to Soar, which is written for those who have an idea they want to turn into a business.

“The journey of entrepreneurship is not for everybody,” she says. “I always argue if you’re not prepared to read a book or do some investment or enquiry to start the business, then really it’s irresponsible. I’m coming up to two decades since I started Red Balloon. That’s a very long time. Your business may be your life’s work, so you may as well invest in it.”

As regular Shark Tank viewers will know, not every business idea is a good one and Ms Simson says one of the biggest mistakes people make in embarking on a new business is being unrealistic.

“This notion of entrepreneur as celebrity, which evolved over the last 10 or so years with Silicon Valley rags to riches stories, is unrealistic,” she says. “Most businesses are on struggle street, most are hand to mouth, going from one customer to the next. I’m not perpetuating doom and gloom, I’m just being a realist. When someone pitches me an idea and says this is going to be the next Facebook, I say the first thing you need to do is take a deep breath and give yourself a reality check. I’m not trying to rain on people’s parades, but you need a level of humility.

“The challenge with many business owners or

Naomi Simson (right) and with the rest of the Shark Tank entrepreneurs (above)

entrepreneurs is they get so in love with their own business or so in love with the problem they’re solving, it’s out of context with the rest of the world. Their family and friends are often saying ‘wow, that’s an amazing idea, you should go for it’. But you need to have a tough conversation. How many customers have this problem, where do these customers hang out?

“People make the mistake of thinking everybody’s going to want what they’re selling. They think if they build it, they will come. Sometimes people spend a fortune on their website or products and they have no customers. There is so much more to user experience and customer testing, it’s a sophisticated science. There’s so much information online and so much information that’s free. You have to do the research and be curious and interested.”

Ms Simson prefers not to equate business success with gender and instead points to personality traits that can be a help or a hindrance in business. She says being overly

emotional can interfere with business success.

“The challenge with emotion is you have no control over it,” she says. “If there’s one thing I encourage audiences to do, it’s breathe. When you feel your heart beginning to race, when you feel your voice rising and getting a bit squeaky, just breathe and look away.

“I do think that happens more for women than men. From the time little boys are raised, they’re taught not to show their emotions, whereas for girls it’s ‘there, there dear, never mind, I’ll kiss it better’.

“The way we raise our children is disgraceful – the pink aisle and the blue aisle – that gender stereotyping becomes ingrained and that can meld into the workplace.

“It’s about having strategies. I’ve been upset in the workplace over things and I hate it. We’re all people and we feel things passionately, but don’t lose your arguments through emotion. People won’t hear what you’re saying, they’ll only see the emotion.”

The inaugural SHINE Business Women Conference will be held on Friday June 1 and Saturday June 2 at the Novotel Twin Waters Resort. For more details visit shinebusinesswomen.com or email info@shinebusiness women.com. Proudly supported by My Weekly Preview.

MY OPINION

I KNOW WHAT I LIKE

CRISIS IN THE KITCHEN

What is art? Sunshine Coast lawyer Kyle Kimball has been pondering that very question.

While Sami Muirhead has many talents, cooking isn’t one of them. She needs help!

A

s a child we would all be so excited when Mum would make her ‘Chocolate Tutta’ for our birthday cake or for a special event in our family.

It was a dessert considered pretty fancy in the ’70s because you used Greek Savoiardi biscuits, which were hard to source in an era of meat and three veg.

Mum’s masterpiece had three layers of chocolate mousse and cream between the lady finger sponge biscuits, all covered in a bucket load of whipped cream with a crumbled Flake chocolate on top. Pretty much a diabetic attack waiting to happen.

I Googled my Mum’s recipe and could find no trace of this groundbreaking dessert we were raised on. There were similar recipes on the web but their cooks have wisely added coffee and alcohol to make more of a tiramisu dessert.

I have been given some homework by my lovely life coach (yes, it is a thing and yes, she is worth every single cent) to find two dishes to cook for my children. This task came after I confessed I had never made a birthday cake for my kids. I outsource. Or Mum makes them.

The shame.

There seems to be a disconnect between me and food. Let me point out there is no disconnect with eating. Just with the cooking side of things.

Some of my friends spend weeks rolling mountains of marzipan to make perfect

dinosaur heads or mermaids swanning on seabeds encrusted with edible pearls and seaweed. I look at these fellow school mums as if they are on the cusp of finding the cure to a horrible disease, such is the mystique to me of cooking.

I can speak in front of 500 people and can navigate my way around just about any city, but I cannot cook. I can make pasta necklaces with my kids for hours on end and I am a bandit when it comes to watching PAW Patrol marathons. I can talk fluent Power Rangers and I know the difference between the Marvel Universe and the DC Empire.

But I want my kids to beg me to cook them their favourite dish. So my humble quest to find my masterpiece is underway.

One of my best friends reckons her homemade chicken coconut schnitzel has her kids applauding. Another friend swears by her beef stroganoff. I am not sure. I am not Martha or Nigella.

I flicked through the Sunday lift-out cooking section of the paper hoping for some inspiration to find a meal I could make. Instead I was slapped with celebrity chef Matt Moran’s idea of a “relaxed and no-fuss meal to share with the family” that is arrogantly titled ‘couscous paella with clams and mussels’.

So my quest continues. At this rate I may be serving up fish fingers and jelly. If you have a sure-fire recipe that will become a family heirloom please send it my way.

Sami Muirhead is a radio announcer, blogger and commentator.

For more from Sami you can hear her on Mix FM.

L

eo Tolstoy once said, “Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.”

People have long sought to identify what it is that separates us from being ‘mere’ animals. As though there is something better in living the illusion that we are different from the world in which we are an inseparable part.

Leaving aside the question of whether such separation is in any way a good thing, the need to express ourselves in a form or medium outside the usual does seem a particularly human trait. That modern technology provides myriad ways for humanity to communicate does not seem to have lessened the proliferation of art in all its forms.

Of course, that worn cliche about ‘not knowing art but knowing what I like’ often comes up in discussions about art. The term is often used in a self-effacing manner to hide ignorance. Sometimes it is used equally to ridicule intellectual snobbery.

The very question of what is, or is not, art is a question as old as time itself.

Are cave paintings in Arnhem Land art?

Were they intended to communicate some tale? Or are they merely idle doodles?

Are they any less art than Michelangelo’s David (or Duchamp’s Fountain, if you really want to consider an extreme example)? What of a child’s finger-painting in kindergarten?

This all begs the question as to whether a creation requires intent (does it require anything) to be ‘art’, or is the word just a very poor appellation for another one of those peculiar things we do as humans that are unique to our species?

We all have, in varying degrees, an innate need to share ourselves with others.

We are as much defined by those others, and their experiences of us, as we are by our own thoughts. The need to communicate is essential to life itself.

“There are things which simply cannot be expressed in words” But one only has to observe a young child’s tantrum to realise that there are things – emotions, experiences – which simply cannot be expressed in words.

Despite its variety and complexity, humanity has a limited vocabulary. And while we use language as a powerful tool, as our ubiquitous method of communication it plainly falls very short for our expression.

In a universe with infinite inimitable experiences, is it not to be expected that those emotions and experiences find some altogether more effective means of being shared?

SELL YOUR HOME FOR SUPER?

M

any people, as they get a bit older, find their current home is no longer ideal for their changing circumstances. This often means downsizing to a less expensive home in order to free up some capital to improve their cash flow in retirement, or it could just mean relocating to be closer to family, the beach, or even the golf course.

It can also be just as simple as looking to the future and seeking a lower-maintenance home.

Whatever the reason for moving, the Federal Government has created an opportunity for homeowners over the age of 65 to make a one-off non-concessional (after-tax) contribution to superannuation after July 1. Eligibility for this so-called downsizer contribution opportunity is

determined by a number of factors. This includes, but is not limited to, the following requirements: • You are 65 years old or over at the time you make a downsizer contribution (there is no maximum age limit).

• The amount you are contributing is from the proceeds of selling your home where the contract of sale was exchanged on or after July 1, 2018.

• Your home was owned by you or your spouse for 10 years or more prior to sale.

If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can contribute up to $300,000 for each member of a couple to your

“You should discuss the opportunity with an appropriately licensed financial adviser ” superannuation fund. The amount is limited to the proceeds of the property sale.

This contribution will not count towards your contribution caps, so even investors with very large superannuation balances will be in a position to take advantage of this opportunity. The downsizer contribution, however, will count towards the zero-tax

$1.6 million transfer balance cap, with anything over that amount incurring a 15 per cent tax on any earnings.

Before deciding to sell your house and putting the proceeds into the superannuation fund, however, there are a number of serious considerations which you will have to take into account. These include the impact it will have on any Centrelink entitlements you receive, whether superannuation is the best investment vehicle for your circumstances, and how this is going to affect your estate planning. There are also the obvious consequences of the stress and cost associated with listing the family home for sale, packing up and moving out.

My recommendation is that you should discuss the opportunity with an appropriately licensed financial adviser before talking to a real estate agent. Your adviser will be able to run through the pros and cons of taking this major step and ensure you are in a more informed position before making the decision to list your home for sale.

LOCAL FISHING FLEET WELCOMES NEW PLAN Owners of the Sunshine Coast’s commercial fishing fleet are celebrating after the passing of the Federal Government’s marine parks management plan. The plan will increase the size of protected marine parks by 200,000 square kilometres and expand the area open to commercial and recreational fishers.

Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says, “Commercial fishing on the Sunshine Coast generates $42.5 million in direct sales every year, with more than $30 million in exports. We have the largest commercial fishing fleet on the east coast here in Mooloolaba. This industry is central to our community’s economic success and the passing into law of this plan is great news for all Sunshine Coasters. The environmental outcomes will be world class, with more than 36 per cent of Australian waters being protected as marine parks.”

The new plan protects more natural conservation features and decreases the area available to mining exploration, while opening 17 per cent more of the total area of marine parks to sustainable commercial fishing. The plan also dramatically increases the area available to recreational fishers, opening up 97 per cent of Commonwealth waters that are within 100 kilometres of the shoreline.

l e v a r t The Sassia Monastery ruins

The unspoilt island of Kefalonia

THE GOOD LIFE IN GREECE Forget beaches crowded by sunburnt Europeans – this Greek Island is the perfect place to find tranquillity and calm.

WORDS: Jemma Crew, AAP.

A

s I set up my mat between ancient trees that poke through the circular wooden yoga deck my lungs are grateful for the fresh mountain, forest and sea air.

I perform sun salutations while birds chirp in the treetops above, and waves end their journey with a soft crash on the shore below. I’m watched solemnly by one of around a dozen adopted cats that roam F Zeen resort on Kefalonia, an island in the Ionian Sea. Hidden on an hillside, in the shadow of Mount Ainos, nestled into sloping forest that rolls down onto Lourdas seafront, this

adult-only wellness retreat enjoys the best of Kefalonia’s bewitching landscapes.

Kefalonia is the largest of the cluster of Ionian Islands dotted along the west coast of the Greek mainland, and one of the least densely populated. It is incredibly lush, with Mount Ainos – the dramatic backdrop that towers above F Zeen – classified as the only national park on a Greek island.

An earthquake in 1953 caused widespread damage to the island, leaving 90 per cent of its buildings in pieces and causing many islanders to flee. The Kefalonia that was rebuilt from the rubble is equal parts charm and tradition, and relatively unspoilt

compared to more developed Greek islands popular with Europe’s younger crowd.

F Zeen was a term in ancient Greek used to sum up “the good life”, and the resort does everything it can to promote an ethos where, as Hippocrates said, “everything in excess is opposed to nature”.

Open for its first full season in 2016, it’s truly a family affair, with mother, father, sons and daughter all involved in the day-to-day running.

Matriarch Suzanne Koumoudos, who with her Greek husband Dennis owns a sprawling collection of luxury Kefalonian villas, tells me that food has always been a huge family passion, and that when they went on holiday, they were always looking for a hotel with a gym, so they could indulge.

And so the idea for F Zeen was born, set in eight hectares of cypress, eucalyptus and pine trees, which has been in the family for hundreds of years.

With pared-back yet luxurious natureinspired rooms, three freshwater pools, a spa, daily group gym and yoga classes, it’s an inspiring place to slow down and reconnect.

Yoga teacher Anastasia Koumoudos gently guides groups through a series of rejuvenating and relaxing poses, but guests can use the equipment whenever they like.

For the more adventurous, aerial yoga sessions can be arranged. A split-level outdoor gym – with cardio machines, free weights, personal training sessions and a sublime sea view – is also available.

Steps away from the retreat at F Zeen’s onthe-beach activity hub, guests can take out paddleboards and kayaks, and borrow bikes

and maps of local hikes for no extra cost.

The spa uses organic seaweed from the Irish Sea, sourced by the family-run company Voya. A small team of therapists use handharvested leaves in treatments, including baths, massages, masks and wraps for their antioxidant and anti-ageing properties.

My city-polluted skin is treated to a detoxifying anti-ageing restorative facial, which I enjoy, notwithstanding the pungent marine aroma which assails my nostrils as strips of slimy seaweed are slathered on to my neck and chest. For sun-scorched skin, I opt for a heady mix of lavender, aloe vera and avocado oil, which calms and nourishes.

F Zeen now boasts two restaurants that offer healthy Greek dishes with a modern twist, using recipes passed down by the Koumoudos family’s grandmother. Many of the herbs used in dishes and the impressive range of teas are grown on site, and vegetarian and vegan menus are guided by the seasons. Breakfast can be enjoyed at Gaia restaurant, where dining tables overlooking the Ionian Sea are decorated with stray petals from a shocking pink ceiling of bougainvillea, through which shards of sunlight stream, while the new Selini restaurant is open all day.

Kefalonia is famed for its honey, and a trip to the nearby Dias Apiary – a 20-minute drive from the retreat – proves to be delightful.

If bees aren’t your thing, a plethora of other activities are on offer. The ruins of the Sissia Monastery are just over a 30-minute walk away. The monastery, which was destroyed in the earthquake, is believed to have been founded by St Francis of Assisi in the 13th century.

TRAVEL

DRIVING IN TESLA’S HANDS IN THE HUNTER Letting go of the wheel as this self-driven beauty curves around vineyards takes some getting used to. WORDS: Simone Ziaziaris, AAP.

I

’ve been driving down the curvy roads of the NSW Hunter Valley for more than an hour but still haven’t found the courage to let go of the wheel. I am, after all, driving the quickest four-door sedan ever built. In 2.7 seconds this car goes from zero to 100 kilometres an hour, so my fear is justified.

With just a flick of a lever I could be using Tesla’s enhanced autopilot, the closest thing to automatic driving that’s legally possible.

I hesitantly gravitate towards the lever and before I know it, the power has drifted

from my hands. I let my palms hover as if at any moment I might need to take control again. The hands-free motion doesn’t last long. After just a moment I spot a car driving at a distance. I immediately put my hands on the wheel and brake gently to snap the car out of its trance. Ten seconds – that’ll do me.

The car is capable of matching speed to traffic conditions, keeping in a lane, changing lanes without driver input, exiting a freeway when the destination is near, self parking and being summoned to and from a garage. Some

of these features have been rolled out, but the company’s target of complete self-driving is still subject to a series of regulatory approvals.

I swap driving with my partner and pull the navigation system up on the screen. Little flags are scattered along the map from South Australia up the east coast. They show the various Tesla destination chargers where drivers can stop and recharge. More and more chargers are popping up around Australia and among the increasing number of destinations are 13 Crowne Plaza hotels.

The Crowne Plaza is the first hotel network to install Tesla destination chargers at all of their properties across Australasia.

The hotel chain’s spa treatments, pools and saunas and abundance of food and wine make it difficult to drive by. It doesn’t take much to convince me. By the time my driving partner parks, I already have my shoes off ready to hit the spa.

The writer travelled to the Hunter Valley as a guest of Crowne Plaza.

TODD’S TALES

ROSÉ AT THE RACES

Todd Widdicombe has discovered a new brew, and it makes him proud to be Australian.

T

he year was 1954. Bill Haley and the Comets ruled the airwaves, Ian Fleming released his paperback Bond adventure Live and Let Die, actor John Travolta was born in New Jersey (46 years before he made the world’s worst movie Battlefield Earth) and on January 9, in a daring feat recognised by the Guinness World Records, a young bloke named Robert J Hawke sculled two-and-a-half pints of beer in 11 seconds. Thirty years later the world’s fastest beer drinker would become Australia’s 23rd Prime Minister.

32 My Weekly Preview | April 6, 2018

32.indd 1

Now traditionally we don’t have a lot of time for pollies. Liking a politician in Straya is rarer than an untampered ball in Dave Warner’s kit, but for whatever reason most Aussies have a real fondness for Hawkey.

Hawke went on to become our longestserving Labour PM and is today the oldest living former Prime Minister – later this year he will celebrate his 89th birthday. Legend.

It’d be interesting to get Bob Hawke’s take on today’s political shenanigans and the recent blow-up with sandpapergate – of course the only difference between Aussie cricketer Cameron Bancroft and Barnaby Joyce is that Cameron Bancroft keeps it in his pants.

Even today, whether he’s sculling a beer at the cricket with a bunch of punters or dining with the world’s biggest names, he’s a larrikin, a legend, a true Aussie icon who the people can’t get enough of. So it’s fitting that he’s now got a cracking beer named in his honour.

Hawke’s Lager.

Hawke’s Brewing Co is the yarn of three mates who had a dream to build a Strayan beer company, based on the values of the great Robert J Hawke. Last year that dream became a reality and Hawke’s Lager was born.

There are three key principles behind Hawke’s – brewing great quality beer,

supporting the land that grows its all-Aussie ingredients (with every drop of Hawke’s they pour they donate cash to Landcare) and a promise that the generous and communitycentric values of Bob Hawke are upheld.

I don’t know if it’s simply because with every sip you’re basking in the glory of the great Bob, but this is easily one of the greatest lagers I’ve ever quaffed. It has a subtle citrus aroma, with a mild bitterness and a crisp, dry finish. I highly recommend if you’re a fan of Bob and beer and Straya, invest ya hard-earned in a sixer – you’ll be stoked with the return. At any rate, Hawke’s Lager sounds better than Turnbull’s Lager, right? Maybe Turnbull’s Bitter? Can’t blame him. Or better still, Malcolm’s Pinot Gris.

Either way it’s cheers to an Aussie legend and a ripping beer to boot.

Any boss who sacks anyone for drinking Hawke’s Lager at lunch is a bum.

HAWKE’S LAGER 4.5% ABV 375ML CAN. Available at Cellarbrations Wises Road, Brightwater, Parklands and Bellvista.

Champagne, fascinators and great company.

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

With Mercury still retrograde until Sunday April 15, steer clear of negative thinkers! Make sure the people around you are a powerful influence in positive ways. (Plus double-check all paperwork and financial matters.)

Love is in the air as Venus, Mars and Neptune rev up your romantic nature.

You commence a fresh chapter involving home, family or finances.

Which could include renovating, relocating or welcoming a new member to the family.

The sun and Pluto clash on Wednesday. So resist the urge to be a frustrated control freak with others.

Then (courtesy of Saturday’s super Jupiter/Pluto connection) you’ll be given the opportunity to lead and/or impress those around you.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

On Wednesday be careful you don’t upset a child, teenager or friend by making an insensitive comment.

Saturday’s auspicious Jupiter/Pluto aspect encourages you to transform your life by broadening your horizons … physically, mentally and spiritually.

Mars, Saturn and Pluto are all amplifying your drive and ambition.

But these powerful planets also rev up your ruthless side, which can alienate you from others. So try to balance steely determination at work with a deft diplomatic touch at home.

With Mercury still reversing through your internet zone (until April 15) be careful what you post on social media. On the weekend, Jupiter and Pluto help you to prioritise your current commitments and plan your long-term goals for the future.

Wednesday and Thursday nights are wonderful for a candlelit dinner when Venus, Mars and Neptune ratchet up the romance. Many Pisceans will burn the midnight oil, as inspiration strikes.

Your involvement with a group has others looking to you for a plan.

TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21)

RHYTHM PROMOTION

THE COAST IS MARCHING TO A NEW RHYTHM The Sunshine Coast housing market is changing and evolving rapidly, and a landmark residential development project in the heart of the revitalised Maroochydore CBD is leading the charge.

W

ith the recent completion of the $1.8 billion Sunshine Coast University Hospital, commencement of construction of the $430 million Maroochydore CBD and the awarding of the contract to construct the new $225 million international runway at the Sunshine Coast Airport, it’s no surprise that land values in the region have risen by approximately 10 per cent since 2016.

The opportunities this positive property market provides have not gone unnoticed by three local entrepreneurs who have joined forces to capitalise on the expected ongoing growth by delivering a landmark project in the heart of Maroochydore.

Chris Wright of the recently launched Sunshine Coast Capital, Gavin Wuiske of RCQ Construction and Matthew Stanley of Maroochydore Urban Renewal will use their

combined finance, construction and development knowledge to bring The Rhythm on Beach residential development to life.

Mr Wright says with research from independent property valuation and advisory group Herron Todd White confirming the Sunshine Coast is in the midst of a rising unit market, investment opportunities abounded in the region.

“Unit prices in Maroochydore have grown by more than 17 per cent in the past three years alone, and there are no signs to suggest this will slow down anytime soon,” he says.

“We are confident unit values will continue to grow as the 53-hectare Maroochydore CBD is constructed, bringing with it more than 30,000 jobs by 2040 and injecting an estimated $4.4 billion into the local economy over the life of the project.

“Having so many jobs based locally will

“We’ve made an effort to design a building that departs from resortstyle apartments and instead combines urban chic with earthy facade treatments and picturesque landscaping”

undoubtedly stimulate demand for housing close by, and properties within easy walking distance of Maroochydore’s stunning beaches, the CBD and Maroochy River are sure to be in residents’ sights over the both the short and long-term. It’s for this reason that Sunshine Coast Capital has elected to support The Rhythm on Beach, as we recognised the demand for this type of product within the market as well as the site’s potential as a lucrative investment.”

While Mr Stanley has developed the 72-unit project, which will be built by local builder RCQ Construction, Sunshine Coast Capital – a specialised property investment group – intends to raise $7.5 million through its investors to fund a portion of the project.

It’s a model that is relatively new to the Sunshine Coast, but one that has proved successful in the Gold Coast and other metropolitan areas. myweeklypreview.com.au

“More than 200 jobs will be created throughout the construction period, with a focus on employing locals”

RCQ Construction general manager Gavin Wuiske, developer of The Rhythm on Beach Matthew Stanley, and Sharon Renardson, Lawrie Robson, Chris Bennett and Chris Wright from Sunshine Coast Capital “Essentially, this model presents a win-win for all parties involved, as the developer is provided with additional capital and sophisticated investors benefit from impressive returns of up to 27 per cent as a result of the combined buying power,” Mr Wright says.

Sharon Renardson, Sunshine Coast Capital’s investment manager and its myweeklypreview.com.au

45.indd 1

authorised representative on behalf of Guardian Securities Ltd, says, “Investing as part of a group can often prove significantly more profitable than doing so independently, and we invite sophisticated investors with assets of at least $2.5 million and an income of over $250,000 per annum to join us and reap the financial benefits

posed by this exciting project. With interest in Sunshine Coast Capital not just limited to Sunshine Coast investors, our level of confidence in The Rhythm on Beach is so strong that each of our directors has personally invested funds into the project.”

Mr Stanley says the development has already secured 41 presales to-date, with individual units priced around $500,000.

“This price point is currently very appealing for buyers, as many other projects in the area are selling for over $1 million, which tends to exclude entry-level buyers,” he says.

“With Maroochydore set to become the thriving heart of the Sunshine Coast, we’ve made a concerted effort to design a building that departs from more traditional, resortstyle apartments and instead combines urban chic with earthy facade treatments and picturesque landscaping.”

“While it’s always been my intention to

offer an affordable product, we certainly haven’t compromised in terms of quality, with high-end fixtures and finishes set to be incorporated throughout. Residents and visitors will also have access to a bar and cafe on the ground floor.”

Mr Wuiske says he is thrilled to be involved with the urban renewal project, which will revitalise two existing properties on Beach Road. “Traditionally, residential developments of this size on the Sunshine Coast tend to be erected on greenfield sites, so it’s great to be constructing something brand new in a well-established street.”

The project has the full support of former residents Marcia and Debbie Gill, who sold the blocks of land in 2015 option signed settled in 2018 and will move into The Rhythm on Beach on completion.

Mr Wuiske says RCQ Construction is no stranger to constructing residential projects in the area, having shaped much of the Maroochydore skyline during its 30-plus years of operation.

“We deliver around $100 million in construction projects annually,” he says.

“We anticipate construction of this project will inject approximately $28 million (total development costs) into the local economy, with works expected to commence soon and run for 12 to 14 months.

“More than 200 jobs will be created throughout the construction period, with a focus on employing local workers.”

PROPERTY

WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID CREATING A PROPERTY PRICE CEILING In today’s market, more and more agents are advocating no-price marketing. My Property Preview explains why. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

H

ow much is my property worth? It’s the first question every seller asks when they decide to part with their

putting a price on a property can prevent you in achieving above current market value. We are in such a buyer-saturated market currently with ‘emotional’ buyers regularly out there looking. As we all know when we purchase with emotion we tend to go above and beyond out limits of purchase.”

Mr Thomson says a good agent will work hard to attract as many emotional buyers as possible, as those who are in the investor market will simply look at the bottom line and will move on if the numbers don’t work for them.

“I believe it’s important to understand every property is different. Each property might suit a different campaign or price strategy,” he says.

“But no-price marketing is ideal in a market like the one we are currently in when there is no certainty about the proposed sale price at the time of appraisal because of the high demand.”

Harcourts Caloundra agent Luke Carter says, “If you’ve sold your property in a week, you’ve probably undersold it.

property.

While your real estate agent will be able to give you a ball-park figure, a number of industry professionals recommend you keep it under wraps so you do not create a ‘price ceiling’, an invisible barrier which will cloud the judgement of potential buyers.

Instead, they advocate for ‘no-price marketing’ and an auction campaign that will truly test your property in the market.

North Shore Realty agent Ben Thomson says ‘no-price marketing’ is ideal for the current Sunshine Coast market, and there is no shortage of buyers and high demand for Coast property.

“Sellers want the best price, and listing a price can limit the room for negotiation.

It can also mean a price is perceived as too high, so the buyer won’t view the property,” Mr Thomson says.

“In such a buoyant market like this,

“If an agent comes out now and tells you they know what your house is worth, I’d be concerned.

“You’ve got to have a strategy that’s not going to put a price into a buyer’s head, as you don’t know what someone is willing to pay.

“It can be dangerous in a rising market for an agent to have an idea of what they think the house is worth, because it can sometimes put a ceiling price on what they can achieve.”

“You’ve got to have a strategy that’s not going to put a price into a buyer’s head, as you don’t know what someone is willing to pay” Mr Carter says auction has become a cheaper option now than it was 10 years ago, thanks to a drop in advertising prices in My Property Preview.

“A good agent using the auction strategy should be able to make more

than the cost of the auction back through creating competitive bidding,” he says.

McGrath Estate Agents’ Geoff Ohmsen says he uses auction as the best way to maximise the sale price of a property while also reducing the days properties spend on the market.

“If you list a private sale, often you will end up with an okay price and longer days on market,” he says. “Until you have tested the market, you can’t know confidently that you’ve gotten the most that you can for your property.”

Mr Ohmsen says agents need to “stop being the gatekeepers” when it came to a property’s value and focus more on attracting people to the open homes to boost the number of emotional buyers.

“If large numbers of groups of people are coming through an open home, people who love the property will automatically see them as competition,” he says.

“If they hear a buyer comment on how nice it is, they might decide they should have a crack at this property before someone else does. It’s about creating that competition and allowing buyers to fight it out in an open forum.

“If you don’t mention a dollar figure, it comes down to the buyers on the day, who may place much more value on the property.”

FAMILY HOME IN AROONA This much-loved family home is in a quiet family-friendly cul-de-sac. Boasting a rainforest backdrop, it is just minutes from Talara primary and Pacific Lutheran College, parks, two shopping centres, tavern, beaches and amenities. Designed for casual everyday living, the open-plan kitchen and casual living/dining area is connected to a light-filled outdoor entertainment pavilion overlooking the resort-style pool and rear tropical gardens. Tiled throughout in neutral tones, this well-designed home set on a generous allotment features three vast open-plan living spaces, five well-appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms.

DEMAND FOR HOMES SURGES AT HARMONY

D

evelopers of Palmview’s largest masterplanned community – Harmony, have been overrun with local demand, fielding direct enquiries every hour for the past three months – more than 8,000 since its launch in 2016.

The consistent enquiry rates come as Harmony releases an additional 90 blocks of land to the market, ranging in size from 250 metres squared to 540 metres squared.

AVID Property Group Queensland general manager Bruce Harper says the strong response to the development over the past few months resulted in the land lots being fast-tracked to meet demand.

“Demand for property is surging in the

The Harmony display village

region and as prices continue to rise, buyers are increasingly looking for affordable land options that they can customise to suit their lifestyle,” Mr Harper says.

“This land release is our fifth release in just over 12 months and brings the number of blocks released since Christmas to 208.

“Not only does Harmony provide buyers with a diverse range of options to choose from with more than seven different combinations of land sizes, but it also offers residents a community that they can truly feel part of.

“We are committed to building a community rather than just another development, that’s why we’ve just kicked off a range of community activities for our residents including, yoga, fitness classes, and a children’s playgroup.”

Positioned in the centre of the community and next to Queensland’s first grand linear park – which is set to open its first stage by mid-2018 – Prosperity is one of just eight neighbourhoods planned for the development.

For more information on land now available at Harmony, visit harmonyliving. com.au or phone 1800 550 240.

AGENT PROFILE

What is the most difficult thing about your job? Being pre-judged, based on industry stigma.

How have you seen the property market change in the past 12 months? My marketplace has been very busy for around three years, but the last 12 months has seen the price growth really kick up a gear.

JASON STOCK RE/MAX Property Sales

What was your very first job? Cleaning a butcher shop after school.

What is your favourite place on the Sunshine Coast? Alex Beach or anywhere I find a quiet creek and some shade.

Tell us about your time in the industry.

I have been an agent for seven years, starting in May 2011. I found my way into real estate after financially losing everything. I had been a buyer or seller 22 times and it just made sense.

What was the first property you sold?

8 Kindal Court, Palmwoods. It sold in under three weeks after it had previously been on the market over 600 days.

How do you see it changing in the next 12 months? 2018 will continue as we have been, however, I imagine 2019 will be our mid-cycle plateau year.

Your tip for buyers? Be educated, be willing to make fast decisions, and don’t make silly, uneducated offers in this market because you miss great opportunities.

FINAL WORD >>

Stop listening to the agents giving you ‘warm fuzzies’ on price.

Choose the agent that understands marketing, then trust the process.
