FROM THE EDITOR

I

don’t know anyone who looks forward to receiving their electricity bills. For many families, the increasing costs associated with electricity place an unwanted burden on finances. Unfortunately, it’s one of those things that, for now at least, we can’t live without – there aren’t too many alternative options for everyday Aussies.

With the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission recently handing down its recommendations for reducing household electricity costs, we thought it was timely to take a look at the issue at hand. The Retail Electricity Pricing Inquiry final report offers 56 recommendations that could see residential electricity bills drop by up to 25 per cent. You can read the story on page 10.

From electrical bills to electrical work, we chat with Sunshine Coast couple Jess Eva and Norm Hogan who are set to make their television and renovation debut in this year’s season of The Block, which kicks off on Sunday night. Jess, who is known for her work on Sea FM’s breakfast show, says while she isn’t used to handling power tools, she thought she’d give it a crack. We will be cheering the pair on as they tackle the challenges ahead.

Also this week, we profile one of Australia’s leading psychic mediums Amanda De Warren and in travel, we journey to the amazing city of Dubai. Plus, we launch our new monthly business section on page 35. Happy reading!

FEATURE STORY

A NEW DAWN FOR POWER PRICES

Moves are underway to improve Australia’s broken electricity market following the release of a damning ACCC report.

WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane and AAP.

“We are now at a pivot point where we can actually start to get this market working for consumers and bringing bills down…”

H

ouseholds could save more than $400 a year on power bills under a proposed major reset of Australia’s “broken” electricity market following the release of a highly anticipated inquiry into energy pricing.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission report was commissioned in March 2017 by Treasurer Scott Morrison and explored the reasons behind skyrocketing electricity costs and how consumers could get a better deal into the future.

The Retail Electricity Pricing Inquiry final report was released on July 11 and offered 56 recommendations that could see residential electricity bills drop by up to 25 per cent and the ACCC estimates businesses could also save up to $750 a year, and even as much as $2250 if they shop around for the best discounts.

After considering wholesale price increases in 2016–17, the ACCC estimates average bills in dollars per customer increased in real terms by 44 per cent since 2007–08, while prices in cents per kilowatt hour have increased in real terms by 63 per cent.

So why are electricity prices increasing so much?

The ACCC has identified the root causes of high electricity prices across the entire electricity supply chain.

ACCC chair Rod Sims says the main reason customers’ electricity bills have gone up is due to higher network costs.

10 My Weekly Preview | August 3, 2018

“They account for up to 48 per cent of a household electricity bill, a fact which is not widely recognised. To a lesser extent, increasing green costs and retailer costs also contributed,” Mr Sims says.

The report shows network owners used the Limited Merits Review scheme to appeal price decisions and while policy uncertainty meant companies didn’t want to invest in new power generation, they took advantage of higher prices.

Over the past decade, the Queensland,

making it hard for consumers to get the best deal.

Mr Sims says serious affordability problems for consumers and businesses had been caused by poor policy decisions over the past decade.

“The National Electricity Market is largely broken and needs to be reset,” Mr Sims says.

“There are many reasons Australia has the electricity affordability issues we are now facing. Wholesale and retail markets are too concentrated. Regulation and poorly

“Our recommendations require some difficult decisions, as sound economic reform usually does…”

Rod Sims, ACCC chair

New South Wales and Tasmanian governments allowed over-investment in network upgrades, passing on billions in unnecessary costs to customers and Queensland was called out as one of the worst for network charges.

The ACCC also found private retailers deliberately confused customers and price comparison websites took commissions without providing a full range of offers,

designed policy have added significant costs to electricity bills. Retailers’ marketing of discounts is inconsistent and confusing to consumers and have left many consumers on excessively high ‘standing’ offers.”

While the decision now rests on the federal and state governments to implement the ACCC recommendations, Mr Sims says if they are all followed, there will be a “powerful and tangible impact” on

electricity affordability in Australia.

“Our recommendations require some difficult decisions, as sound economic reform usually does,” he says.

“Despite poor decisions over at least the past decade creating the current electricity affordability problem, it now falls to current Commonwealth and state governments to make the difficult decisions to fix it… we must move away from narrowly focused debates. Addressing affordability requires change across a broad front.”

A key measure is forcing retailers to offer a benchmark price near the middle of the market, to end confusing and deceptive discounts, a role the ACCC would like to see the Australian Energy Regulator take on.

It also recommends a cap be put on future mergers or acquisitions for companies with more than 20 per cent market share and the Queensland Government stop overinvesting in the energy sector, a move it says will save average households $100 a year.

It is also suggested governments effectively bankroll the construction of new dispatchable power sources by guaranteeing long-term contracts for large industrial and commercial users.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says there is strong support for the vast majority of the ACCC’s 56 recommendations, but the government will carefully consider the report.

“Australians are crying out for an energy policy that is focused on them,” he tells AAP. “Too much ideology and even idiocy has taken the place of engineering and myweeklypreview.com.au

FEATURE STORY economics, and energy consumers have suffered accordingly.

“My focus is, unrelentingly, on getting energy prices down.”

Mr Turnbull wants the states to adopt his national energy guarantee, which is aimed at bringing down prices while guaranteeing reliability and cutting emissions and Mr Sims agrees this is “a necessary step” to bring affordability to the market.

By world standards, Australia’s position in terms of electricity prices has deteriorated substantially. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Australia has dropped from the fourth cheapest in price per megawatt hour ($US) in 2004 to the tenth cheapest in 2016.

Australians are more reliant on electricity than they have ever been before, with households and businesses using more and larger appliances as a result of the increased role of technology in our everyday lives.

However, energy efficient appliances and solar PV (photo voltaic) technology have offset some of this increased demand and in 2016, solar PV output met around three per cent of electricity consumption.

The ACCC report found that power bills would have been even higher if so many people had not installed solar panels on their homes and businesses.

This was backed up by an Australia Institute report, which found rooftop solar had delayed and reduced peak demand in the past summer.

Just when Australians were turning on air conditioners, rooftop solar in east coast states reduced peak demand by more than 2000 megawatts – the equivalent of a large coal-fired power plant.

The ACCC report suggests incentives for solar panels and batteries will show the government is serious about energy security and Gswitch inventor Mark Coates says he can see future bills being driven down with a greater use of solar coupled with new standards to control energy supply in peak demand times.

ratifying the 4755.2 standard to allow electricity networks to be able to communicate with household appliances through the internet during peak power demand to reduce network overloads.

Mr Coates says this standard will be another tool for reducing power prices as it will allow distributors to have great control over supply and demand.

“Distribution is so expensive because 50 per cent of the costs are used one per cent of the time. They have to allow for a maximum power load even when it is an ordinary day, so if we suddenly get a hot day and everyone throws on the air conditioner, the network can cope,” he says.

Mr Coates’ innovative invention, the Gswitch, is a home energy management system that works to reduce power consumption and will be among the devices capable of reducing power demand in peak times.

Mr Coates says the Gswitch can have any appliance responding within a second if there is any shortfall in the network.

“We can slow systems down to avoid a potential network overload or blackout,” he says.

“People will have a contract with their energy retailer that will allow this to happen and if there is ever a need for their power to be reduced, they will be compensated through a Demand Response Aggregator.

Ninety per cent of the time, residents won’t even know a demand response has been called by the distribution company and they will carry on as normal. It will be unintrusive.”

The Gswitch is installed on a home’s switchboard and connects to your smartphone or tablet and provides real time usage data for all utilities in an easy to use app, so you can monitor your power output through a personalised dashboard as well as ‘turn’ your home off when you leave and back on again when you return.

The Gswitch also increases solar PV efficiency by allowing you to direct, distribute and schedule your captured solar power directly to the appliances that will be best served to reduce your power bill, rather than sending it out into the grid for minimal return if you are not receiving the maximum 44 cent feed-in tariff from Energex.

The technology has already caught the attention of Energex and its governing body Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).

“Essentially, it’s a brain that goes in a house and talks to the networks while also providing an easy-to-use interface for the consumer. The Gswitch transforms the household from one that consumes power without constraint to one that only uses the power that it needs. And it does it without you having to think about it,” Mr Coates says.

“This unit offers up to 50 per cent power reduction on multiple fronts – providing energy efficiency, reducing wasted power and educating home owners about how the power is used in their home.”

With the ACCC report shake-up already seeing some electricity retailers offering discounts of up to 28 per cent, Energy Consumers Australia acting boss Lynne Gallagher says things are looking up.

“We are now at a pivot point where we can actually start to get this market working for consumers and bringing bills down,” she says.

THE FUTURE OF COAL

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has called for governments to underwrite new power plants for businesses who can’t get finance, igniting a debate about the future of coal in Australia.

Resources Minister Matt Canavan and Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack are among those advocating for investment in new coal power plants as a hedge against the possibility renewable energy doesn’t get cheaper and to ensure jobs aren’t lost overseas.

“Coal has to be part of the mix. We’ve got plenty of it, we’re exporting plenty of it, why don’t we use more of it for our domestic power needs?” Mr McCormack says.

The Nationals leader’s support for coal is at odds with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and other senior cabinet ministers, who have been careful not to single out any form of power generation.

“We are not in the business of subsidising one technology or another,” Mr Turnbull says.

“We’ve done enough of that. Frankly, there’s been too much of that.”

“We should simply allow the technologies to compete, and what we want to have is the outcome of lower prices,” Mr Turnbull says.

Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese says no one in the business community was interested in new coal-fired power plants.

Acting Greens leader Adam Bandt says Australia should exit coal-fired power in favour of renewable energy to cut pollution and the Australian Energy Council, which represents 21 major energy companies, says the government should consult on changes to avoid “unintended consequences”. – AAP

LAKE KAWANA COMMUNITY CENTRE’S NEW LOOK It has been a staple beside the Kawana Lake for the past 13 years and now the venue we have come to know and love as the Lake Kawana Community Centre will be undergoing a transformation, with a new-look exterior and a brand-new name. The name will be revealed on the morning of August 8 and will signify the beginning of a new era for the venue, which has housed countless local, national and international events, performances and exhibitions. A team of artists are already working on bringing the centre to life, creating murals which reflect local scenes to add movement and energy throughout the facility.

NRL GREAT MEETS LOCAL ATHLETES Princes SUPA IGA Caloundra recently hosted a training session at the club with former Broncos NRL player Corey Parker to mark the launch of the Independent Grocers of Australia (IGA) Play Your Part campaign. The fundraising drive aims to raise money to support local sporting clubs, schools and charities. Princes SUPA IGA Caloundra has already donated $1115 to Caloundra Little Athletics through the IGA’s Community Chest program which has helped the club to keep costs down. IGA retailers nationally have injected more than $80 million back into the community to date through their Community Chest Program and their recent Play Your Part Campaign.

YOUNGSTER TO MAKE A SPLASH ON WORLD STAGE Sunshine Coast Grammar School student Kasey Dalziel has been selected in the Under 18s Australian Water Polo team and is preparing to make her mark at the upcoming world championships in Serbia. This is the third time that Miss Dalziel has been selected in the national team and it probably won’t been the last, as the talented 16-year-old has her sights set firmly on making the Open Women’s Australian Water Polo team in the near future.

The upcoming world championship event is a major benchmark for the next generation of players aiming to reach the Olympic Games.

USC DRAMA GRADUATE TAKES CENTRE STAGE One of University of the Sunshine Coast’s first Creative Industries graduates is making his mark as a playwright and actor in theatres around the country. Tremayne Gordon, 22, of Pomona performed at the Darwin Fringe Festival in a play, Train Lines, that he wrote in his final year of study at USC. He hopes to bring the play, which is the story of two strangers stranded at a railway station, to the Coast in coming months. Since graduating, Mr Gordon produced his first short play, Leaving the Nest, for the Festival of the Australian Student Theatre in 2014, and received a theatre award nomination from Perth’s Fringe World Festival last year for his short play Player 2.

The much-loved boardwalk at Mooloolaba is undergoing a major upgrade to help cater for the increasing number of people in our community who use it for walking and running at all times of the day.

Located east of Mooloolaba Beach Holiday Park, the upgraded boardwalk will provide improved access along the route to Mooloolaba Spit. The upgrade project will include a completely new 3.4-metre wide boardwalk structure and new lighting, upgraded beach access points including seating and viewing platforms along the route, and revegetation with up to 10,000 new native plants. The northern concrete section of the pathway adjoining this boardwalk will be upgraded in 2019 and will complete the upgrade of this popular route.

LOCAL FOOTBALLERS COMPETE IN XIAMEN A team of young Sunshine Coast footballers competed in the Xiamen Invitational Youth Football Tournament in China, where they will defend the title won at the inaugural competition two years ago. A port city on China’s south-east coast, Xiamen has a friendship city agreement with the Sunshine Coast and this year’s tournament, from July 28 to August 1, featured teams from the hosts’ sister cities in China, Germany, Mongolia and Korea. The Sunshine Coast team consisted of 14 players, aged between 15 and 17 from local clubs on the Sunshine Coast.

NAILING IT

Jess Eva and Norm Hogan, the underdogs in the latest series of The Block, talk to My Weekly Preview about their unlikely inclusion in the show, and the pressure of renovating for a TV audience. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

B

uderim residents Norm Hogan and Jess Eva were half-joking when they first spoke about applying to appear on Channel Nine’s renovation show The Block in 2017.

At the time, Ms Eva was looking for “something to keep [her] mind busy” while on maternity leave from her job as a Sea FM breakfast show host with her second child Matilda, so she decided they should jump in and “give it a crack”.

While they didn’t make the cut in 2017, the couple will be on your television screens when The Block 2018 season launches later this week.

Mr Hogan, who is a builder by trade, admits that being on TV was “never my dream”. “I was sh***** myself; we arrived down in Melbourne and it was extremely daunting,” he tells My Weekly Preview.

“I wasn’t sure how I was going to go with cameras in my face and for the first two days, I was trying to be so careful with what I shared and what I said all the time, but by the third or fourth day, I forgot about them and didn’t worry anymore. I didn’t care; I was back to myself and I was happy.”

With sleepless nights and tight deadlines a constant pressure on the couple, Mr Hogan says what he would normally do on site in six or seven days had to be done in just three days on The Block to allow time for painting, decorating and styling.

“I didn’t realise how important the styling and decoration aspect is,” he says. “You could have the best structural design or layout in a room, but at the end of the day, if it doesn’t look great, you won’t be scored well.

“I did find out what you can do in 11 or 12 hours is chaos, but it kills you.”

A builder of 25 years, Mr Hogan asked Ms Eva to help him build a deck at their home as a means of practising before they began filming The Block. But it wasn’t long before he had to fire his assistant.

“She started off okay, but then she lost concentration and couldn’t listen, so she got fired,” he says.

“I have helped out on jobs with Norm before,” Ms Eva says. “When it comes to power tools, every time I touch one, my partner pounces on me… and not in a sexual way. So I’m good enough to lob the wood, but not good enough to use a drill.

“I gave it a crack [on the show], but whether it was received in a positive way, you’ll have to watch and see.”

Mr Hogan and Ms Eva have been together for six years and have two children, and because renovating their own home has

been relegated to the bucket list, The Block was a great opportunity to have a go.

“Other people might think we had an advantage with Norm being a builder, but styling and design was so important. The vision is so important… and we didn’t have any,” Ms Eva says.

“Norm is a builder but I’ve never styled anything before, so you could have picked me up and plonked me on my ass and I would have been more comfortable than what I was in that environment.

“You are 100 per cent doing everything on your own with one small feedback session and then you get judged. So there was a bit of ‘I don’t think I can do this’.”

Ms Eva says they “looked like bogans” taking photos with the chauffeur who came to greet them at the airport and generally had a lot of fun with the other contestants despite the high-pressure environment.

Ms Eva also made friends with a local homeless woman called Rosetta.

“I would buy her a pie every day and we’d have a chat and she never really said much, but one day she put her hand on her left breast and told me my mother had cancer there and told me, ‘don’t worry, she will be fine’. Mum was [later] given the all-clear while we were filming The Block,” she says.

“Management gave me permission to give out microwave meals to the people living on the street nearby. I wanted to make sure we were respecting the people there, even if they weren’t former residents of the building. It also helped us to keep everything in perspective. Someone might have lost everything in their life, and suddenly it doesn’t matter if your bath is not the biggest.

It’s not the biggest thing in the world to be worried about.”

PROFILE

HEART AND SOUL ‘Animal Whisperer’ Amanda De Warren helps people around the world find peace after a loved one passes away. Now she’s finding her own comfortable place in her beautiful Sunshine Coast home. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

A

manda de Warren is a familiar face to readers of Woman’s Day magazine. For five years, her popular column the Animal Whisperer has given readers comfort that their beloved pets who have passed into another world are happy and haven’t forgotten them.

It may sound a little kooky, but she has a huge following around the world and about 11,000 Facebook fans. She does readings for celebrity clients, appears on radio, is in demand as a speaker around the country where she addresses crowds of up to 500 people, and is planning a world tour next year.

There are a lot of people out there missing their fur babies.

As a psychic medium, Ms De Warren says she can communicate with the spirit world and has a special affinity with animals, which she discovered as a child.

“I was born in England and I was on my uncle’s farm in Mayfield,” she says. “One of the dogs went missing. I kept saying, ‘it’s fallen down the back of a hay shed and it’s injured’.

I was so insistent they ended up going there and finding the dog. It had fallen between the hay bale and the wall. My uncle was incredibly shocked.

“That was when I was about five. The ability has always been there but I didn’t develop it … until about 15 years ago and I’ve been focussed on it ever since.”

Ms De Warren moved to Australia with her family as a child and grew up in Dalby and Brisbane, holidaying regularly on the Sunshine Coast. “I just loved the place and was just so drawn to it,” she says. “People come up here for a reason – the people, the atmosphere, the energy. It’s just a beautiful place to be.

Ms De Warren left Brisbane for Bli Bli three years ago, seeking a new life after she lost her long-time love.

“We’d been together many years and I had a premonition three days before he died,” she says. “I knew he was going to pass and I told him to be really careful. We had a road train and he was five minutes out of where he was going to stop and have a sleep. He fell asleep at the wheel and plummeted 120 metres off an embankment. It took me a long time to get past it.”

Having a fresh start on the Sunshine Coast was part of her healing process and she says the perfect house in Bli Bli fell into her lap, and her partner visited her from the spirit world

soon after. “I felt he wanted me to have this lovely home,” she says. “About three days after I moved in, I heard his diesel HiLux ute pull up, as I always used to. I heard him come up the stairs. I could see him. He walked in and had his green bag he used to take away. He put the bag down and he looked at me and smiled. I could feel him saying, ‘you’re home now – this is your home’.

While she’s become know for communicating with pets in the spirit world, Ms De Warren says she’s also able to connect with people who have passed over, and is often booked for parties of 10 people, where she gives psychic readings.

“I did one in Burpengary with nine ladies,” she says. “I said to one lady, ‘you’ve got a young male who took his own

life’. I said to a second lady, ‘you’ve also got a young man who passed through suicide’. It turned out they were all part of a group of women who had lost their sons through suicide. I didn’t know anything, I just picked up on it.”

While communicating with fluffy spirits and reuniting parents with lost children is a heart-warming part of her job, Ms De Warren says there’s also a dark side to her work – interaction with evil spirits.

“They unfortunately do come through,” she says. “I work with a lot of children and it’s a free service. If children are having problems, parents will say, ‘there’s something in the room’. I usually get in and clear it. It takes about 15 minutes to talk to the parent and clear whatever it is. I pick up on what it is and why it’s there. It could be anything from an earth walker – someone who hasn’t crossed over yet – or a negative energy.

“I just get my guides to come in and I pinpoint negative energies, remove them and do a clean sweep. I put some rock salt in the corners, possibly send them a crystal, depending on what the circumstances are.”

She often sees a lot more than she lets on and has to be careful what information she shares. “I don’t cross any boundaries as far as medical issue are concerned,” she says. “I do not diagnose, prescribe or refer because I’m not qualified to do any of those things. I will do what’s known as a 3D on a person or animal – it’s called a hot spot. The animal will say ‘this is what’s happened’ or ‘this is how I’m feeling’. How I connect with them is through a language and through my guides. I feel their personalities. They’ll show me a picture or scenario of what’s going on. I’ll shut my thoughts down so I can relate to what they say in their language.”

Ms De Warren says she’s booked solid, doing around eight readings a day and booking speaking engagements months in advance. She has a staff of three to manage the business.

“People come a long way to see me,” she says. “I recently did a stint on the Gold Coast and one lady flew up from Tasmania. I do phone readings, face-to-face readings, workshops and seminars. I’m very well respected in this industry. I do a lot of work with animals that have behaviour problems and sick animals. I have an enormous amount of positive feedback from people. I’ve helped them so much.”

MY OPINION

MIXING RELIGION WITH MEATBALLS

IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME

Sunshine Coast lawyer Kyle Kimball says truth is not absolute, especially when it comes to religion.

Sami Muirhead says her children are growing up too fast and she’ll soon be faced with three kids at school and no idea what to do with herself.

M

y youngest baby turns four this week and I am sad. I just want to freeze time so I can keep Augie safe in my arms as he stares up at me with his big brown and very cheeky eyes. I cannot imagine not tucking him in to bed every night. I actually like picking up LEGO from the stairs and I love living in a world that revolves around Paw Patrol, superheroes and dinosaurs on most of our dinner plates. Everything else seems boring and part of a world that at times, I feel too fragile to join.

The world of a child is innocent and full of wonder. A wise granny told me many years ago I should embrace each stage of each child as they grow up, because each phase is wonderful. I don’t know about that. The teenage years sound like warfare and isn’t it true sons leave their mums when they find the loves of their lives?

Does it really get cuter than fat little legs and cute naked butts at the beach as a toddler looks up at you with chubby hands outstretched? Does it really get better than you being their total everything and them being your total world? I think not.

But mums are one of two camps: you want them to stay little forever or you cannot wait for them to be self-sufficient so you can have more of your own time back.

I am in the first camp. Big time. I hate those Facebook memories that pop up when you are only half awake in the morning and rudely slap you across the

face as they show you how much your children have grown in just a few years and remind you of your own mortality.

I am in a panic about having only one and a smidge years left with my little boy before he starts school. He is my shopping partner/my school drop-off buddy/my constant companion when I do the banking/dog walking/gardening/cooking.

What will I do without a shadow and a purpose each day? I guess I will find a bit more of a life that revolves around me.

I guess I would finally have time to do all three kids’ babies books that I have never got around to printing or send out my wedding thank you cards, which would be eight years late.

None of it sounds as interesting as fussing over my kids and watching Playschool with an apple and cup of Milo.

My bub is the third born, so the kids officially outnumber the adults. Staying at a hotel is a nightmare because of the numbers and we can no longer buy ‘family passes’. And we would not change a thing.

There is a meme doing the rounds on social media that states: The third child is always the most naughty of the family. I think it may be true, as Augie is certainly spirited. I actually thought a third child may have broken our family, but it made it.

So happy birthday little Augie Bear: thanks for being the absolute sunshine in our family who brings us together with your craziness and laughter.

Truth (noun) – a particular belief or teaching regarded by the speaker as the true one. Webster’s New World College Dictionary

T

he truth is a funny thing. Many folk search for it. Just as many folk have found it. Numerous more folk fight over it. And we all know it, in one, way, shape or form.

Take, for example, the Pastafarians.

They are the members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. While conceding their depiction of their deity is ‘merely a guess’, Pastafarians imagine and describe the FSM as a mass of spaghetti and having a good number of noodly appendages that are flanked by two delicious meatballs; the visage is topped by a pair of googly eyes on stalks.

It is believed by the Church of the FSM, that the universe was created by the Monster while it was very drunk (thus explaining the general imperfections and contradictions in our universe).

The Church is for ‘all that is good’ and against ‘all that is not good’. Apparently, to assist in a moral framework for life, it propounds a handy guide: The Eight I’d Really Rather You Didn’ts – a sort of modern and shortened version of the Ten Commandments.

Of course, very few members of society take this modern church seriously. It is accused of being no more than a satirical

(and no doubt in some instances, blasphemous) light-hearted exercise.

However, nothing could be further from the ‘truth’.

Court cases have established the members’ right to wear official headdress, the colander (yes, the cooking utensil), in public and official office positions, official ID photographs and the like. The veracity of its members’ faith has been tested by the legal system and, despite it being a young religion, it has been held to be as

“Pastafarians imagine the FSM as a mass of spaghetti”

legitimate a faith as any of the more ‘well-known’ religions.

Of course, courts do not rule on what is or is not a true religion, but merely on a person’s right to practice their religion. Our courts are subject to a multitude of versions of the truth, daily. So even to those serious institutions, the idea that folk could genuinely believe in some universal ball of spaghetti as the ‘all-creator’, does not raise an eyebrow. Indeed, that belief is protected as the individual’s truth.

So it seems that while there are many religions, there can be as many truths.

Fun and games for a healthy brain.

Winter is well and truly here and for many of us, that means it’s harder to find the motivation for early morning walks or regular exercise.

Yet studies show that exercising our minds can be just as important as exercising our bodies, so not all is lost!

For example, playing board games is a great way to keep our brains fit and has been linked to a lowered risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

The studies say that allocating up to an hour each day to mental exercises like sudoku, cards and crosswords can improve overall health and reduce stress.

Social gaming Why not get together with neighbours or friends and play a board or card game, for your brain’s sake?

Stay active with social billiards

It’s not only a great way to connect with others, but can also decrease the chance of depression.

At Nature’s Edge Buderim, residents have formed more than 20 social groups including mahjong, 500 Club and Monthly Trivia Nights.

There are dozens of events each month that contribute to the active and healthy lifestyle on offer in the community.

Train your brain with mahjong and 500

She has shared the stage with international stars, and now Brooke Schubert is heading to the Sunshine Coast. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

W

hen Brooke Schubert was just 10 years old, she won a talent quest at the Gympie Music Muster and was given the opportunity to sing in front of 25,000 people on the main stage. She says that was when she knew what she was put on Earth to do.

Growing up in Moranbah, she juggled school with performing around the country and she competed in Australian Idol in 2008.

She has since shared the stage with Tina Arena, Jessica Mauboy, Joel Madden, Sheppard and Keith Urban. “It was crazy to go from singing at the Black Nugget Hotel in Moranbah to playing at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and Rod Laver Arena.

It really helped me to set some high goals for myself,” she tells My Weekly Preview.

“I still don’t remember that first gig [with Keith Urban]. We met at soundcheck and sang through the song with the band and then Keith told me, ‘this is definitely your moment, you need to do an a capella or whatever you feel before we get into the song’.

“It was like the hundreds of thousands of gigs I’d done beforehand had been to equip me to take on this type of thing.”

Mr Urban was a huge supporter of Ms Schubert when she was a contestant on The Voice 2017, which she says has allowed her to

progress “from pub gigs to career gigs” and she has relocated with her husband Christian and children Jonah, five, and Jeremiah, three, to Brisbane.

Ms Schubert lived on the Sunshine Coast for a couple of years from 2007, and now she will have the chance to revisit local venues as an accomplished performer to wow crowds at A Night of Conversation and Music at Sol Bar on August 15 at 6.30pm, where she will join MC Wheels and Mason Hope on stage.

For tickets, visit tickets.oztix.com.au and search for ‘A Night of Conversation and Music’.

Fresh from celebrating seven years headlining on the Las Vegas strip, the Australian Bee Gees Show will be heading to Caloundra during the Australian leg of their Direct from Vegas world tour.

Mon - Fri from 10am | Sat - Sun from

INGREDIENTS • 1 chicken supreme (skinless, boneless chicken breast) • 50g cream cheese • ¼ bunch chives • 20ml cream • Salt and pepper • 2 tbsp tandoori paste • 2 tbsp sour cream • 1 sweet potato • Salted butter • Cream • 1 bunch broccolini

METHOD Stuffed chicken Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cut into the wide end of the chicken breast to create a hole for stuffing. Mix the cream cheese, chives, cream, salt and pepper in a pot and cook on a low heat until combined. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, add the mix into a piping bag. Mix the tandoori paste and sour cream and roll the chicken breast in the paste mix. Once coated, pipe the filling into the chicken breast. Put the breasts onto a lined baking tray and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Sweet potato mash and broccolini Peel and cut the sweet potato into cubes. Add to a pot of water and boil until tender. Drain the water and add the butter, cream, salt and pepper and mash together. Steam the broccolini.

Arrange on the plate and pipe any leftover stuffing onto the top of the cooked chicken breast.

COOKING TIP If you have a steamer attachment that sits on top of a pot, you will be able to cook the potatoes and steam the broccolini simultaneously, which will cut down on your preparation time.

A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN A new mentoring program will give business owners a boost.

S

unshine Coast business owners who feel they may benefit from a mentor are being encouraged to nominate for a new program.

Sunshine Coast Chambers of Alliance has launched a mentoring program aimed at small to medium businesses.

Supported by Sunshine Coast Council, the program will utilise the region’s retired or semi-retired experienced people as volunteer mentors.

Alliance vice president Linda Delamotte says the initiative is based on proven best practice of the Business Mentors Noosa model which has been operating successfully for six years.

The program will utilise the region’s retired or semi-retired people “The Noosa program follows the procedures, processes and guidelines of a long-term New Zealand mentoring program.

“The New Zealand program reports that voluntary mentoring increases the chances of a business successfully expanding, creating more employment, wealth and taxes paid to support government services.

They consider they have achieved a decrease in business failure.”

Applications from potential mentees and mentors are now open.

“After being paired, mentors and mentees will meet to identify needs and brainstorm solutions through meaningful

T conversations about operating and growing their business,’’ Ms Delamotte says.

“Mentors will also receive support and assistance at monthly meetings structured to share knowledge, discuss issues encountered and fine tune mentoring methodology.”

The initiative will be implemented across the various Sunshine Coast chambers of commerce and will be coordinated centrally by the Sunshine Coast Chambers of Commerce Alliance education committee.

he Sunshine Coast Solar Farm celebrated its first year milestone last week, demonstrating that the game-changer project is on track to save $22 million over 30 years.

Already, the project has saved the council $1.7 million in its first year – double what was expected.

Sunshine Coast acting mayor Tim Dwyer says the project is exceeding all expectations and is set to offset 100 per cent of council’s energy use and reduce the region’s carbon footprint.

“We have met our offset goal as well – offsetting more than 100 per cent of council’s energy use across all our facilities and operations,’’ Cr Dwyer says.

“We’ve generated more than 26,300 megawatt hours of energy in 12 months.

To put that into perspective, the average Australian home uses around six megawatt hours per year.

“We’ve saved more than 20,500 tonnes in carbon emissions – the equivalent of taking about 4300 cars off the road for one year.

“Council’s solar farm project has also

received three prestigious awards for boosting productivity through infrastructure, sustainability excellence and planning excellence.”

Sunshine Coast Council is the first Australian-based local government to deliver a solar farm.

Division nine councillor Steve Robinson says council will spend the next six months compiling independent information from experts to share with businesses and residents.

“We want to help our community learn how to reap maximum savings from their existing solar PV system, what renewable options are available, how to choose an energy provider and how to reduce their home’s energy usage,’’ he says.

“During September, council will host a range of sessions in libraries across the region as well as sharing information on our website and social media.”

FACEBOOK SHARES PLUMMET WHILE INDUSTRIAL STOCKS RISE

A

plunge in Facebook Inc’s shares has pushed the Nasdaq down more than one per cent, the index’s biggest one-day drop in a month, but industrial stocks rose after the United States and the European Union said they would negotiate on trade.

Facebook shares on Thursday dived 19 per cent, their biggest ever one-day percentage drop, after the social media giant forecast years of lower profit margins.

The decline in Facebook shares weighed on the S&P 500 technology index, which dropped 1.6 per cent.

Shares of Amazon.com Inc, another member of the so-called FANG group of momentum stocks, fell three per cent and were the second-biggest drag on the Nasdaq and S&P after Facebook. In after-hours trading, they were modestly positive in volatile trading following the company’s quarterly results.

Shares of Twitter Inc, scheduled to report its quarterly results on Friday, slid 2.9 per cent.

But while the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 slumped, the Dow rose, in part on the strength of industrial stocks. Industrials, which have been a bellwether of trade

tensions, were lifted after US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker agreed to work to resolve US tariffs on steel and aluminium and Europe’s retaliatory duties.

S&P 500 energy stocks also advanced, ending the session up one per cent, as oil prices rose on the disruption of some of Saudi Arabia’s oil shipments.

“What we’re seeing is the market broadening out, which is healthy,” says Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial in Newark, New Jersey. “We need to see a rotation take place when the leadership is under pressure, and the high-flying tech names have been in the leadership position.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 112.97 points, or 0.44 per cent, to 25,527.07, the S&P 500 lost 8.63 points, or 0.30 per cent, to 2837.44 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 80.05 points, or 1.01 per cent, to 7852.19.

Another drag on the S&P and Nasdaq was Biogen Inc, whose shares tumbled 10.2 per cent as trial data from its Alzheimer’s drug failed to impress investors.

McDonald’s Corp shares dipped 1.7 per cent after the fast-food chain missed US

same-store sales estimates for the first time in at least two years.

Chipmakers, however, were a bright spot amid declines. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index rose 1.9 per cent.

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc jumped 14.3 per cent and Xilinx Inc shares climbed 9.6 per cent after both companies reported robust quarterly results.

Shares of Qualcomm Inc gained seven per cent after the chipmaker pulled its $US44 billion ($A59 billion) bid for NXP Semiconductors NV upon failing to win Chinese regulatory approval.

NXP shares dropped 5.7 per cent.

Supervalu Inc shares surged 65.4 per cent after United Natural Foods Inc agreed to buy the supermarket operator in a $US2.9 billion ($A3.9 billion) deal. United Natural Foods shares sank 16.3 per cent, however.

Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.33-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.21-to-1 ratio favoured advancers.

The S&P 500 posted 52 new 52-week highs and five new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 112 new highs and 73 new lows.

MAROOCHY CBD SHAPING UP WELL Work on the first stage of the new Maroochydore City Centre is progressing well, with landscaping and the installation of street furniture, light poles and striking new shelter structures now well underway.

Local landscape architects, Vee Design, have overseen the creation of these unique shelter structures, which were designed with inspiration from the Pandanus tree and stand up to five metres tall.

Provision of shade in the new city centre was always a critical consideration, and First Avenue is starting to take shape as a tree-line boulevard, with planter structures housing a variety of trees and shrubs.

All this greenery feeds into the new public square, featuring a large central lawn and event space with a mix of shaded seating areas plus an open shelter for events with signature lighting at night.

The Maroochydore CBD is set to become be a thriving, welcoming city heart for everyone to enjoy and the Coast can look forward to seeing the opening of the new city streets later this year.

Troy Davey, Ord Minnett Buderim.

THE TRUMP TRADE CONFLICT

T

weet! There you have it – another policy announced by the Commander and Chief of the free world – AKA Mr Trump. As an adviser, you generally wake up in the morning and one of the first questions you ask yourself is – what policy did Mr Trump implement via Twitter while I was asleep?

The policy that is most talked about in the markets are the tariffs that Mr Trump has implemented for goods being imported to the US. The tariffs are aimed at China in the most part. And of course, the Chinese president Xi Jinping is responding in kind with his own tariffs.

This ultimately means we have a trade conflict between the two largest economies.

A tariff is a tax on goods imported to a country. The tariff that is applied to goods that a company imports will most likely be passed on to the end consumer – which adds to inflationary pressures. This means that the end consumer has to fork out more money for the goods they are purchasing.

Alternatively, a company may absorb those costs, which means their costs increase, which affect their profitability.

In our view, there are no winners in trade conflicts.

While economic and profit growth remain supportive of investment markets, the prospect of deepening trade conflicts is starting to overshadow the optimism that many investors held at the start of 2018. To date, the actual number of tariffs that have been implemented or scheduled does not meaningfully alter our outlook for global growth.

However, we believe it is important to have a clearer understanding of a factor that has been absent from markets for a considerable period of time, but which could have far-reaching consequences if conditions deteriorated.

Free trade matters for growth in both the short and long term, as actions that restrict trade could disrupt production, increase costs for business and prices for consumers, limit the positive transmission mechanism between economies, and ultimately decrease productivity.

Financial conditions and business sentiment could be altered powerfully and quickly as firms consider a potential fundamental shift in the rules that determine global trade. Indeed, the positive

“This ultimately means we have a trade conflict between the two largest economies” feedback loop linking growth, business confidence and financial conditions has played a central role in lifting the global economy over the past two years.

Fortunately, the magnitude of tariffs imposed so far by the US and its trading partners is relatively small, but their relevance would increase if tit-for-tat responses continued.

We have not yet seen the effect of current tariffs and we likely won’t for another couple of months. But certainly, we are watching for indications that the trade conflict is taking away from global growth and we will position portfolios accordingly at this time.

Business Insights brought to you by Workplace Wisdom

EMPLOYEES

Necessary or valuable stakeholders?

The humble receptionist is often regarded as a low-cost role and generally filled by a junior or low skilled worker. Consider then, that your receptionist is in fact an INTEGRAL part of your business and perhaps its where the relationship commences on a positive OR negative note or repeat business is obtained OR lost. Your receptionist may well then be given the title - ‘Director of First Impressions’.

First impressions still count and clearly that first impression maybe the difference between a longer relationship with your customer or one that turns that customer to another business.

Clearly how our employees interact with customers will determine either positive or negative commercial outcomes. How we as employers interact with our employees then will have a direct impact on how they interact with customers which in turn has significant impacts on our bottom line.

Simple “Pearls of Wisdom” that will assist in positive interaction with employees include: 1. Discuss and establish agreed specific goals with ALL employees with appropriate incentives for success.

2. Have frequent individual and group face to face discussions with employees to review the business performance and encourage suggestions on business improvement.

3. Discuss with individuals their shortfall in performance as soon as practical and definitely before that employee finishes their shift when the event occurs.

4. Future proof your business by developing positive relationships with your employees.

As a business owner (or Manager) we find ourselves so entrenched IN THE DETAIL OF THE BUSINESS that we do not have TIME, ENERGY or RESOURCES to dedicate towards building effective relationships with our employees. CONSIDER A COACH.

Like successful sporting teams and athletes, Business Owners (Managers) are engaging business coaches to optimise the performance of the business by providing specific personalised programs for owners, managers and line employees.

If you not have the knowledge, time or energy to develop and implement effective business programs that will IMPROVE YOUR PROFIT then we will HELP YOU. Our personal concierges WILL FIND SOLUTIONS for you that FIT YOUR BUDGET on matters concerning any part of your business.

Here are a few areas that you may consider our assistance with: • Client / customer acquisition • Employment performance • Health and safety training • Workplace policy development • Recruitment • Payroll systems • Compensation and return to work management • Harassment, discrimination and unfair dismissal training • Enterprise agreement negotiation and training

The underwater-themed Atlantis The Palm

Lost Chambers Aquarium

SLEEP, EAT AND PLAY UNDER THE SEA Of all the unique hotel offerings in Dubai, Atlantis The Palm is perhaps its most unique. WORDS: Hannah Higgins, AAP.

A

fierce woman named Svetlana is telling us to stick out our tongues and pant as we lean forward.

Without a single exchange of questioning glances, we’re all doing it.

Svetlana is small, but the force of her will is enormous and she has us enthusiastically panting, our bodies bent at 90-degree angles, tongues hanging out like labradors in the middle of a heatwave. The bizarre scene, which is bathed in an eerie blue light, is made even more strange as sharks, stingrays and schools of fish glide by behind Svetlana.

Welcome to underwater yoga.

On mats rolled out on the stone floor of the Lost Chambers Aquarium at Dubai’s underwater-themed hotel Atlantis The Palm, our group of 20 or so holidaymakers are put through our paces.

On three sides, soaring glass windows offer unspoiled views into one of the largest aquariums in the world, home to more than 65,000 marine animals.

To get here we walked through a labyrinth of stone tunnels filled with tanks showing tiny clownfish, bobbing jellyfish and an albino alligator who is warming himself on a large rock. Above our heads, in a menacingly lit clear glass tank, a pod of pregnant lobsters are protecting their eggs.

For anyone with a level of fitness above rationalising that running for the bus counts as exercise, the session probably isn’t that hard. For me, it’s a challenge, but an oddly relaxing experience; the graceful sea animals and haunting music make it hard to pay attention to my screaming muscles.

In fact, the aquarium, which stretches

along one side of the Dubai luxury resort, makes it hard to pay attention to much at all.

In the hotel’s ritzy restaurant Ossiano, my eyes are torn between the bartender in front of me and the floor-to-ceiling windows into an aquarium that I’ve spent the better part of a day looking into.

I’ve ordered a Pearl Diver cocktail, which I immediately regret when I see how much work the bartenders have to do to create it.

Two of them are working in tandem, straining the mixture, shaping shaved ice into semi-circles, and placing a hard ball – that is filled with liquid – into oyster-shaped glass dishes placed next to your glass. When one of our party gets a shock from the liquid ball shooting down her throat, the bartender profusely apologises and gives her another.

Ossiano is the kind of place that thrives on the creation of extravagance, and the ridiculously attentive staff won’t stand for any kind of sub-par experience. You’re here for your taste buds to be pampered, after all.

Unsurprisingly, the underwater restaurant specialises in seafood. Every week its French chef serves up 40 kilograms of seafood to guests who dine while gazing into a tank of marine life – which is superb, as long as you don’t think about it too much.

It’s a uniquely romantic experience and the restaurant has seen more marriage proposals than any other spot at the hotel – one suitor splashing out more than $20,000 on dinner before getting down on one knee.

Across the tank from the underwater diners sit the resort’s two famed underwater suites, whose bedrooms and master

bathrooms also look into the 11 million litre aquarium.

Atlantis teems with people from every walk of life outside, but inside it’s remote and you feel like you’re the only person on earth.

Sitting in the deep bath and gazing into the tank is mesmerising, until a 350-kilogram stingray glides past just centimetres from your face and your shriek spoils the serenity.

In the classic animated Disney film The Little Mermaid, a red Jamaican crab named Sebastian sings that life is better under the sea, and emerging from under Atlantis into Dubai’s searing heat, you begin to see his point.

The writer travelled as a guest of Atlantis The Palm, Dubai.

IF YOU GO: GETTING THERE Dubai is a 14-hour flight from Brisbane.

Emirates flies from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to Dubai. Go to emirates.com.

STAYING THERE Atlantis The Palm is a five-star hotel with great access to the beach, luxurious pool facilities and an action-packed water park.

The resort is also home to world-class restaurants and bars. Prices start at about $320 per night. Visit atlantisthepalm.com.

PLAYING THERE The hotel offers underwater yoga, an underwater restaurant and for the very brave an aqua trek where you can walk among sharks and stingrays as you breathe through a bubble on your head.

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

The solar eclipse (in your sign) highlights your inclination to jealous or possessive behaviour. It’s time to loosen your grip on a loved one, Leo! Otherwise, you’ll drive them away with your drama queen antics and demanding demeanour.

With Mercury retrograde and the solar eclipse activating your karma zone, be careful how you treat other people (in person and online). Selfish behaviour, unrealistic expectations or unfair criticism will just boomerang back on you!

Venus vamps into your sign on Monday (where it stays until September 9), so you’ll be at your charismatic and cooperative best.

But, you could still experience problems with a family member or friend who is envious of your talents.

With the solar eclipse and retrograde Mercury activating your career zone, proceed carefully with a professional project. If you are too hasty (or too stubborn), you’ll experience communication problems with a work colleague, client or customer.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Be careful your spontaneous Sagittarian spirit doesn’t land you in unexpected trouble! You’re keen to communicate but, if you rush in and say the first thing on your mind, you could find yourself regretting your haste.

Has your strict inner parent taken over? Don’t be too hard on yourself – or others. And don’t overdo the criticism (no matter how ‘constructive’). Striving for perfection will be fraught with frustrations, so relax and take things as they come.

With Mars reversing through Aquarius, everything feels as if it’s one step forwards and two steps back! You can also expect some communication mayhem this week, as Mercury continues reversing through your relationship zone.

Retrograde Mercury and the solar eclipse stimulate your job and routine zone, so expect communication chaos, relationship rumbles or work frustrations this week. It’s also a time when unresolved issues from the past could be dredged up.

TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21)

unshine Coast residents will soon be able to enjoy Queensland’s first grand linear park – located within Palmview’s largest masterplanned community, Harmony – with the first $3.1 million phase opening on Saturday, August 11.

Conventional urban design has been thrown out the window for the design of Harmony’s first community park, which will span more than five hectares and run the length of 10 football fields once fully complete.

The park will form a central green corridor throughout the community and will ultimately be made up of a series of local parks, each with individual facilities and identities. Phase one will provide two hectares of community space for people of all ages and recreational interests to enjoy, from kicking a ball around with the family and enjoying a picnic with friends, to breaking a sweat on the first stage of a large network of interconnected cycle and walk ways.

AVID Property Group Queensland general manager Bruce Harper says he is excited to be opening the first phase of the park

42 My Weekly Preview | August 3, 2018

next week.

“As part of AVID’s commitment to providing exceptional community infrastructure, the first phase of the Grand Linear Park has been fast-tracked more than three months ahead of schedule,” Mr Harper says.

“The Grand Linear Park will be a popular new hub for the whole community to come together and enjoy spending time outdoors – an exciting new addition not just for Harmony residents, but for the entire Coast.”

Phase one of the park will feature three separate play areas for locals to explore, including a set of six swings, two table tennis tables and a giant 30 metre multi-play structure with a slide, spider’s web, swinging ropes and stepping stones.

Fitness fanatics will also be catered for, with pull-up bars, parallel bars and rope bells all available in the specially-designed outdoor fitness centre from leading outdoor equipment designers, Kompan Australia.

With more than 90 per cent of all Harmony residents within 250 metres from a local park, getting the family outdoors and active will be a breeze.

PROPERTY

LUXURY CBD DEVELOPMENT IS UNDERWAY Works have started on The Rhythm on Beach – a stylish new development by a long-established local company – in the Maroochydore city centre.

R

GD Group is known for development in Kawana Island, Birtinya and Oceanside, but it will soon be associated with one of the most luxurious apartment complexes in the Maroochydore CBD – The Rhythm on Beach.

RGD founder and director Ron Grabbe says the group had been looking for an opportunity in the existing CBD footprint and “by good fortune” it was able to secure the $40 million project on Beach Road as both developer and builder.

“Although we’ve been operating for over 35 years, this is our first major multi-level residential project in the Maroochydore CBD,” Mr Grabbe says.

“We know other developers were floating around looking also. Being a local we’ve got the runs on the board in the Kawana area and it’s very important to us that it’s all Sunshine Coast work for our workers, and we just see that as another avenue for our company on the development and construction arm to expand into.”

Mr Grabbe says the company is still very active in the Kawana area and is renowned for its developments including The Edge corporate office headquarters, Kawana Private Hospital and 240 recently

completed apartments at the new Oceanside precinct. Its latest Kawana project, The Hedge, is just starting to come out of the ground.

RGD has begun early works for The Rhythm on Beach, which will offer 72 large, contemporary and stylishly appointed twoand three-bedroom apartments with either ocean, Maroochy River, city or hinterland views over nine floors.

There will be a ground floor cafe and

bar, underground parking, two lifts plus a revitalisation zone with two pools. Major construction is due to begin this month, with the project scheduled for a late 2019 completion.

Rhythm project manager Clint Grabbe says the colour scheme will make Rhythm a stand-out.

“We are adopting in-vogue, timber, dark textures and vinyl planks through the living areas. We are trying to make it different to what we see around Kawana, with a strong focus on seaside living as well as maintaining that coastal lifestyle,” he says.

With the completion of the Aquarius apartments in June, the team has already moved onto the Rhythm project.

Investor Property, part of the Reign Group of companies, is managing the project’s sales campaign with 70 per cent of units already purchased off the plan, many

by Brisbane and interstate investors.

Mr Grabbe says RGD Group is highly optimistic about the economic future of the Sunshine Coast, the fastest growing regional centre in the nation.

“The Sunshine Coast has a $16 billion economy, which is forecast to double to $33 billion by 2033,” he says. “Underpinning

this growth is more than $10 billion worth of infrastructure projects, with Maroochydore pivotal to many of these projects.

“There are so many opportunities for investors and owner occupiers to get a slice of this unique locality. It’s something you couldn’t even script.”

“The Sunshine Coast Council has done a great job with design works for the CBD and all areas are linking very closely with it.

There are pretty exciting times ahead for everyone.”

When asked about the secret behind the longevity of the RGD Group, Mr Grabbe says he and his team were able to soldier on through the GFC while others fell, largely due to forward planning.

“What really helped us was we concentrated on waterfront opportunities and worked closely with Stockland in securing waterfront land, and luckily we had enough in place to present to the market,” he says, Mr Grabbe says since the GFC, the number of RGD employees has tripled.

“We still run a pretty tight ship, but we have been on the Coast a long time and we are very proud of the legacy we will leave behind,” he says.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Imagine paying $1800 for a small fish hook? Yep, that’s what I did on the weekend, courtesy of a fisherman who left a baited hook on the beach for my dog to eat.

Watching the line go down her throat when there was nothing I could do was tough. So if you are fishing take some care with your gear.

That said, I am happy to let this hook go for $1000 if anyone is interested. Send me a message.

Not much around this weekend in the way of waves, so enjoy the weather.
