One of the strengths of our neighbourhood is its sense of community but moves presently being considered by the Queensland Electoral Commission will serve to fracture this bond. If adopted these moves, which will shift electoral boundaries, would see Newstead excised from the Brisbane City Council ward of Central and incorporated into Hamilton ward. A virtual wall would exist between Teneriffe-New Farm and Newstead with Wyandra Street dividing the precinct. This division is being considered because the population of Central ward has increased, hardly surprising given the number of high rise developments approved by the council. This population is now about 10 per cent above that which the commission regards as acceptable. Central ward councillor Vicki

Howard says that Newstead has little in common with suburbs such as Kalinga and Pinkenba with which it would be linked if the boundaries were changed and she is right. “There is no denying that Newstead and Teneriffe should have the one councillor. Placing Newstead into Hamilton Ward does not enhance the community but divides it. “Many Newstead residents work in Central, their children go to school in Central and they shop and use the services of Central so let’s keep Newstead in Central,” she says. Prior to 2016 Newstead and half of Teneriffe were part of Hamilton Ward with the boundary being Chermside Street. The commission in seeking to turn back the clock is adopting an accounting mentality and ignoring the glaring if inconvenient truth that Newstead is tied geographically, socially and commercially to New Farm and Teneriffe. Those concerned at this threat to the interwoven nature of our community and the imposition of artificial divisions should visit www.ecq.qld.gov.au/ electoral-boundaries/lg-reviews/ DBRs/2019-DBRs/brisbane and make their feelings known to Cr Howard at central.ward@bcc.qld.gov.au

McKinney’s at MBFF After 135 years in business, McKinney’s Jewellers will be a highlight of the Lunch with the Girls event at this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival.

LAURA CHURCHILL @laurachurchill_stylist

With a sustainable fashion focus that plays out in handmade, small-run collections, Alice celebrated ten years in business last month and attributed her longevity in the fickle game of fashion to dedication, patience, and keeping it fun. “The ability to have fun with my label every day and make small batch and one-off pieces using vintage and second hand fabrics keeps me totally in love with my job and I think this shows in my work,” she says. This happiness shines through Alice’s designs, which incorporate playful prints and popping colours. In her California Lane (Fortitude Valley) store you’ll find prints featuring kookaburras, echidnas and other locals, pom pom-adorned clutch bags styled after icons like Iced Vovos and lamingtons, made-to-order swimwear, cute knits and more.

To celebrate their anniversary, the esteemed jewelers will give every Lunch with the Girls ticket holder the chance to win a $25,000 Australian South Sea Pearls necklace. “Now that my label is established, I’m really excited to play with some of the concepts I was afraid to do as an emerging designer,” says Alice. “I’m getting set to bring in my 10th year with an emphasis on more of my original illustrations, one-off paintings and a push toward more art in store.” You can even take a sewing class at the store, which is part of a focus on sustainable fashion. Alice says her customers appreciate the work that goes in to her garments, but still, the automatic assumption can often be that all clothing is made in a factory. “I’m also finding though a lot of customers are getting on board with

the Fashion Revolution movement and asking who made their clothing,” she says. “It’s really great to hear more people realising that ‘locally designed’ doesn’t automatically mean locally made, or fairly made. “I’m all about ethical production, so it’s so exciting to see this movement spread.” Flying the flag for Brisbane, quite often interstate on the Finders Keepers market circuit, Alice says she is proud to hail from Queensland and its nurturing creative community. “We’re such a bright and vibrant community who value locally made art and design,” she says.

The event will be hosted by some of Australia’s most recognisable women: Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Georgina Lewis, and Bianca Dye. These celebrity guests will discuss all things fashion. Guests will also enjoy a spring menu from Epicure, while taking in the top 40 spring/summer ‘19 fashion trends as selected by fashion festival styling director Kimberly Gardner along with exquisite jewellery from McKinney’s.

Resident rallies against community garden By Steph Maker

Kangaroo Point Resident Les Cox has expressed his serious concerns about the prospect of Brisbane City Council building a community garden in James Warner Park. Mr Cox’s reaction is largely in response to Councillor Johnathan Sri’s movements to develop a community garden at the riverside location, based on strong support from residents in the area. Mr Cox, however, in correspondence with local politicians, asserts that his community feels differently about the proposal. “There is certainly no evidence that the residents living adjacent to or near the James Warner Park have a need or desire for a common garden,” Mr Cox said. “There is likewise no evidence that the many hundreds of tourists, walkers, cyclists and commuters that use the park and bike path daily want

or need a community garden.” “To turn an already existing open, green space, an attractive public park already enjoyed by many, into a series of small, dirt plots only able to be used by a few is ridiculous.” In response to Mr Cox, Councillor, and former Chairman for Environment, Parks and Sustainability David McLachlan said “an initial site investigation has identified that James Warner Park contains important historic plantings established by Harry Oakman, one of Brisbane’s more prominent parks curators of the 1950s, and Australian horticulturalist of note.” In his letter to Mr Cox, Cr McLachlan noted “the site also has significant flood issues.” “The main risk of flooding is from overland flow which would significantly impact the garden.” Councillor Sri, however, said the proposed location is a good option. “We basically considered all the Council-owned green spaces in the Northern part of Kangaroo Point.” The consultation process for Cr Sri

began with multiple meetings through the Kangaroo Point Neighbourhood Watch and continued from there. “In addition to this, we sent out emails, we did social media, we had an online poll, and we also put up signs in the park, in the location, to seek feedback.” Cr Sri shared the results of the online poll with My Village News. Approximately 77% of all respondents voted ‘yes’ vote to the question ‘do you support a community garden being established in a public park somewhere on the Kangaroo Point Peninsula?’

I think there’ll be a vocal minority who’ll be a bit unhappy about it.

Councillor Sri In response to the question ‘do you support locating the community garden in the northern end of James Warner Park?’ 75% of all voters said ‘yes’. 115 respondents identified themselves as Kangaroo Point residents. Of these voters, approximately 72% voted ‘yes’ on the question of a

community garden in James Warner park. Cr Sri said he’s confident the majority of Kangaroo Point residents would support the project as it progresses, with a small contingent likely to dissent. “I think there’ll be a vocal minority who’ll be a bit unhappy about it. “I guess that’s the nature of living near an inner-city park space. “If you want to live right in the inner-city next to a park, you have to expect the park’s going to get a bit of activity and a bit of use.” Cr Sri said the discord is possibly due to a generation gap, but feels a community garden could help to bridge the divide. “I think the value of these sorts of projects is that they bring people together, and in a place like Kangaroo Point where you have a lot of renters, and a lot of newer residents, we often get feedback that people feel like they don’t know their neighbours as well as they’d like to. “We’ve found that community gardens are really great for changing that, because they’re accessible to a really broad range of ages.” “Have your Say” to editor@myvillagenews.com.au

and function centres, the driving range and the putt putt course. Then the plan is to open up the rest of the area for free, public access and activities, to provide enjoyable space for the public. Anyone who has walked over the golf course will be stunned by its beauty - groves of old Bunya Pines and gum trees, high areas providing wonderful views, bushland area and loads of space for adults and kids to enjoy. It is also very accessible by public transport. This plan is a unique and rare opportunity where parkland is increased not decreased. It is, I think, as do many others, great news. - DR JOAN JACOBI, SPRING HILL (Pictured)

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF

By Steph Maker Woolstore resident Mel Page is excited to step outside her building’s door and straight into the merriment of the 2019 Teneriffe Festival. For Mel and her family and friends, it’s a chance to explore what’s going on in the neighbourhood. “We look forward to the Teneriffe Festival every year,” Ms Page said. “It means that we get to see what the community is doing and what local businesses are doing.

“Often these businesses are led by our neighbours, and that means that we get to see how they’re going and people from outside of Teneriffe get to see how wonderful it is here.” Ms Page said she felt the Teneriffe Festival was a fabulous opportunity to showcase the village feel of the area. “It’s unlike anywhere else in Brisbane.” For this year’s event, Ms Page said she’s looking forward to the live music and catching up with fellow locals. “It’s a good way to get out to see the neighbours.”

Firstly, I wish to congratulate Cr Schrinner on his appointment as Lord Mayor of Brisbane. But my great astonishment and joy are his wishes to expand Victoria Park. His intentions to transform the inner-city golf course into a “Central Park” for Brisbane are unique and inspirational. Cr Schrinner is obviously aware of the lack of public open green space in Bowen Hills, Herston, Kelvin Grove and the Brisbane showgrounds. All of these, including Spring Hill and Newstead are being heavily swallowed up with high rise residential buildings with little or no green space left. In addition, the Lord Mayor is very aware of the original size of Victoria Park (130 Hectares) and its now very much diminished area (~18 Hectares). The golf course is Council owned and after its closure the Lord Mayor hopes firstly to retain the reception

Timeless classic to take Brisbane by storm By Julian Lehnert

Since its publication in 1964, Colin Thiele's Storm Boy has become one of Australia's quintessential pieces of fiction, spawning several movies and even a video game. Following the coming-of-age of the young Storm Boy in rural Australia, the original novella and its many adaptations throughout the years are known to children and adults alike. After an acclaimed Sydney debut in 2013 and an encore season in 2015, the story around the titular boy's life in South Australia's Coorong has also captivated audiences on stage, with playwright Tom Holloway's production once more launching to great applause in Melbourne late last month. A Brisbane run of the show is pencilled in to start on July 29, and former Brisbane local and actor of Storm Boy's father Hideaway Tom, John Batchelor, is excited to bring his craft and Colin Thiele's timeless classic to friends and family.

"The audible gasps and the sobs that you hear in the audience are as real as you would hear in any cinema - I would say it lives up to everything that Colin Thiele originally wrote," John said. The stage version of Storm Boy has been praised by critics and audiences alike for its use of puppets as stand-ins for the story's pelicans, who become friends and family to the young protagonist. "It's quite an amazing feat to act with people attached to creatures that are meant to bring a story to life," John said. "There are audience members who have a sense of disbelief that those puppeteers are even there." For John, taking part in the production means a return to his youth — something he embraces and channels in his performance. "I'm 49, so [Storm Boy] was very much part of my childhood - the film and the book," he said.

"When the opportunity came across to be involved in a stage production of it, I jumped on it. "The end result has been as good as I thought it would be in telling that story." John reserves particular praise for the show's director, Queensland Theatre Artistic Director and New Farm local Sam Strong, with whom he got to work throughout the production. "It was the first time I'd ever worked

with him, but I've seen and heard a lot about him as a director," he said. Despite a rocky start — Sam caught the flu early during rehearsals and had to stay in a hospital attached to a drip — Storm Boy's direction left a positive impression on John. "[Sam and I] had a really great dynamic in the rehearsal room and I've been through every single idea I've had with him about my character and how to tell the story," John said.

Bank gives to Red Frogs Employees from New Farm Commonwealth Bank have contributed $500 to the Red Frogs, as part of the bank’s nationwide community donation program. Branch Manager Scott MacCallum (pictured left with Red Frogs’ Chris George) said the team was very excited to help an organisation that supports young people. “The Red Frogs have told us that they will use this donation to help with the costs of purchasing red frogs and pancake mix so they can support young people at the 2019 Schoolies.” Over the coming months, Commonwealth Bank has pledged to donate $500,000 nationally to organisations that make a difference to local communities.

TPA stalwart reflects on changing suburb By Steph Maker After almost a decade with the Teneriffe Progress Association (TPA) , Roger Armfield (pictured) has vacated the Vice Presidency role as he moves away from the neighbourhood and begins a sea-change. Mr Armfield said Teneriffe has changed a lot during his time with the TPA, and he saw it all from his Australian Estates Woolstore apartment. “It’s a totally unique suburb,” Mr Armfield said. “When Skyring Terrace opened there was much more traffic coming through – that’s when it all really started to change.” The TPA began as a response to a number of mounting community concerns – including the drive for Teneriffe to regain its suburb-status

towards 2010, Mr Armfield said. However, it was the Council CityCycles initiative that spurred Mr Armfield into action. “I was advocating against the CityCycles to be quite honest.” He fondly remembers his time with the TPA and a twilight dinner, featuring a camel, was a highlight for the loyal member. “It was way back, right in the beginning,” Mr Armfield said. “We had a dinner down at River Sands in their sandpits. “There must have been 300 people there. “We made some money out of it and it was catered by one of our members; it was pretty neat.” As he steps aside from his role with the TPA, he hopes the character of Teneriffe will hold strong. “The heritage buildings really need to be preserved,” Mr Armfield said. Mr Armfield said he has been troubled by the impact of e-scooters in the area, as well as the need for increased parking infrastructure.

“Eventually there’s going to be a serious injury on the boardwalk.” Mr Armfield said, adding that e-scooter riders and supporters aren’t “taking a great deal of notice of the elderly.” Despite these concerns, Mr Armfield maintains Teneriffe has a wonderful village atmosphere. “You can’t go down to Merthyr Village or Gasworks without seeing someone you know and having a yarn with them.” TPA President Ben Pritchard said Roger’s successor will have big shoes to fill. “He made a useful contribution to the TPA intellectually,” Mr Pritchard said. “We’ll deeply miss his input; we hope he’s not a stranger to Teneriffe.”

Marvellous Mosconi By Steph Maker

TAP Bathrooms & Construction Torrisi & Poulsen

SPECIALISTS IN BATHROOM FITOUTS & CONSTRUCTION

PHOTOS: WWW.PAULHARRISPHOTOGRAPHER.COM

Mosconi restaurant in New Farm presents a perfectly balanced look and feel – the old-world charm of a classic Italian café, mixed with a clean, yet industrial aesthetic. As the architect behind Mosconi, Paul Fairweather said creating the style was a collaborative effort, with input on final finishes and colour by ByBurke. A key feature of the space is its curious curved ceiling, which Paul

said is likely to have historical significance “The building itself, the curved ceiling, from what I can work out was a Quonset hut from World War Two, so they were either barracks or they were small workshop buildings.” “It’s a very unusual space,” Paul said. Paul likened designing the cozy space to Mark Twain’s aphorism: I didn’t have time to write a short

letter, so I wrote a long one instead. “I’ve done a series of bars, and restaurants over the years but this one is the smallest, and probably in some ways the most complex.” The restaurant’s mezzanine level creates a second dining area, while still allowing patrons a sense of the building’s volume. Considerations like this are at play alongside the need to make allowances for a functional kitchen, bar, and services. In collaboration with the client, Paul said they worked through a number of

designs in order to find the best fit. “We went through probably 20 different iterations of floor plan, not driven by client changes, just to really explore what was going to be the best fit to fit everything in there that needed to be in there, and to maintain that sense of space.” Although, there may be an obvious bias at play, Paul said he’s a fan of Mosconi. “It’s going really well; they’re really nailing it. “I’ve eaten there a few times myself and it just feels right.”

Landscape architecture award winners celebrated Two notable Fortitude Valley locations have been celebrated in this year’s Queensland Landscape Architecture Awards. All Hallows Schools, 900 Ann Street and Holy Trinity Church have been recognized by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects as some of the best designs in the state. Wilson Architects and Lat27, the firms behind the two projects, both took home Landscape Architecture Awards in the Cultural Heritage category, and will go on to compete for national awards in Melbourne later this year. AILA Queensland president David Uhlmann said this year’s awards demonstrated the forward thinking, innovative and diverse approaches of the landscape architects of our state. “The winning projects highlight the positive impact that carefully planned and well-executed landscape architecture can have on our community, wellbeing and the environment,” Mr Uhlmann said.

They say what happens on the family road trip, stays on the road trip, but that would make it a bit hard to write this column, wouldn’t it? Before I start, this is a shout out to the sedan-driving Uber driver who turned up at our place when we had pre-booked an over-sized vehicle to get us to the airport for a sub zero camping holiday, requiring large amounts of luggage. You did not help my husband’s frustration levels getting on the plane, on the most stressful, mother of all days of any family ‘vacay’, the first day. Jump to Alice Springs. I knew David and I had chosen the perfect, grounding, bonding holiday for our private school teenagers even before we’d left the airport. A sticker in the toilet showed me how to use it by not standing on the

seat, and our cabbie, when asked what brought him to Alice, responded, “misadventure”, then with a smile and a wink, tells me he now calls her, “Mrs-adventure”. I love it. We pick up our pimped-up Prado and hit the road. The country song playing on the radio laments, “if French fries were fat free, and if, you, still loved me” and I register a resounding “yes”, to at least half of that tragic tale. There are enough days between us, Uluru, Katherine Gorge, Kakadu and Darwin to sleep under starry skies, chase waterfalls and ancient rivers and land my first barra. Days filled with the most beautiful colours that we don’t even have names for in English. There’s a lilac mixed with a chalky red that I stare at constantly on the horizon. Next to a dusty wattle, and ochre. You can’t help but tip your hat to mother nature. It’s not hard to see the bushrangers from the 1850s hiding out on the ridges if you try. Nor perhaps, my toes being nibbled by a dingo as I sleep in our tent. Yes, welcome to my world, our most amazing Australia.

Same support, new temporary home

n e ws V

By Steph Maker As the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre moves up the road to make way for renovations, Centre Coordinator Jenny Ryan said it will be business as usual at the new location. “There’s not going to be anything particularly different,” Ms Ryan said. “There’ll still be access to the support we offer. “The Open House program will still be available.” Ms Ryan said most of the Centre’s activities will still be available at the new location. The Centre is moving from 967 Brunswick Street to 860 Brunswick Street, about 500 metres away, in the direction of the City. The New Farm Neighbourhood Centre’s new home will be accessible from an entrance on Brunswick Street, or through the back door on Adeline Lane (with one-way access from Villiers Street). Ms Ryan said phone numbers and contact details for the Centre

will remain the same throughout the move, and she encouraged interested community members to check the website for updates. Ms Ryan issued an open invitation for the community to experience what’s on offer at the Centre. “We’re looking forward to seeing our old friends, and even some new ones at the new site.”

Keep Cup, Red Cycle, Enviro Bag. Like Lime, Apple and Google these are words that have taken on new meaning in our modern world. However, unlike the scooter and tech brands that seemingly strive to make our lives easier the other phrases are linked with every mother’s worst fear, more organisation. So how does anyone, let alone a parent, consistently do it? The conscientious member of society thing, I mean. I look with envy at those capable humans who queue for their morning coffee, tasteful reusable coffee cup in hand. It’s a symbol you know. They are proudly saying they managed to feed and dress not only themselves that morning but also other small beings in their household and then had the mind space to say, “Oh, Keep Cup!” as they walked out

the door. I find the rare mornings I do remember to grab my reusable coffee cup are the same days I’ll end up paying for shopping bags. Which leads me to RedCycle - you may have seen the big red bins at Coles or Woolies? It’s a great idea - a recycling program that collects soft plastics so they can be manufactured into something else. What could be easier than just popping bits of plastic wrap that accumulate during the week into one big bag you return to the shops? I tried to do it - twice - but kept forgetting to take the bags with me. They gathered like tumbleweeds and we ended up with rubbish compartmentalised around the place like a hoarder home. When you have a child, all these environmental actions take on more importance, but are ironically tougher to do while juggling sleep regressions, meal time tantrums and remembering to pack all the snacks. I do recycle our food, dropping our scraps at the Neighbourhood Centre compost bins each week. So if you ever spy me with a disposable cup cut me some slack knowing at least my baby’s uneaten food is nourishing a garden.

Fitness festival fans fired up The competition is heating up as participants in the Function Well Fitness Festival continue their training regimes. Karla Lynch and her team mates at Ray White New Farm have been working out hard in the gym in preparation for the festival. The events at the festival feature a mixture of CrossFit and agility tests, where teams battle it out to win their share of prizes and to raise money for Queensland Brain Institute. “It’s a very hard work out,” Ms Lynch said. One event asks competitors to test their skills on a range of gym machines, while another features

rounds of weightlifting mixed with high intensity rowing. While fundraising is a major focus of the event, Karla said there’s a big competitive element. “There’ll definitely be some standouts that are in it to win it,” she said. The entry fee for participants is $20, but spectators are welcome to come along and cheer on the competitors while enjoying some fun attractions. “There’ll be coffee and food trucks, and a bouncy castle for the kids. “It’ll be a good, fun, community morning.” The festival starts at 7am, July 6.

Hanky Panky walks for hope Teneriffe resident Julian Jefferis (pictured) was in surgery for pancreatic cancer while his supporters rose early to pound the pavement to raise funds for the Pancare Foundation. Julian was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 32 years of age in November 2017 and has been working through chemotherapy and surgeries with his wife Alison by his side. Julian said the foundation’s Walk for Hope event was time to put the spotlight on the deadly disease. “We need to start seeing improvements for patients and the survival rate to improve,” he said. “It’s encouraging to see the significant achievements that breast and prostate cancers have been able to achieve over the decades. “It’s my hope that this will happen for pancreatic cancer too.” Hanky Panky, Julian’s fundraising team, made $11,000 at Pancare Foundation’s Walk For Hope event at Damien Leeding Memorial Park on the Gold Coast on Sunday June 23. Julian said the Pancare Foundation have provided incredible support to

Suburban success: Vicki’s role in Teneriffe By Steph Maker If it weren’t for the tenacity of a committed individual, Teneriffe could be an entirely different place. In fact, the suburb of Teneriffe may not have existed, technically, were it not for the work of an intern at the Queensland Parliament. From the time Teneriffe was named, likely in reference to the Canary Islands off North-West Africa, it was considered a Brisbane suburb, until 1975 when it was redefined as a locality within Newstead. That remained the case for over 30 years. It wasn’t until the situation was drawn into question and changed in 2010, thanks in part to the work of Vicki Bridgstock. She recalls a conversation with David Hinchliffe and his drive to take on the monumental project of reinstating the area’s suburb status. “I had to gather evidence, I had to have meetings with the people of Teneriffe, to find out not only

how they felt about Teneriffe becoming a suburb again, but we had to redefine the boundaries of Teneriffe,” Ms Bridgstock said. “A lot of people who were in Newstead kept saying ‘we want to be in Teneriffe too’. “A lot of people I think were disappointed, because everybody wanted to be in Teneriffe.” When Vicki submitted her application, she wasn’t sure what to expect. “I was just absolutely knocked out, I was so happy that our application was taken seriously and that it actually worked,” Ms Bridgstock said. Teneriffe’s returned suburb status was obviously cause for celebration and the idea of the Teneriffe Festival began to percolate in the minds of locals. Vicki Bridgstock was an inaugural member of the board back in 2010. “We didn’t realise it would be as successful and as good as it was. “I remember after the first one, we

n e ws V decided we might have one every year. “I know for the first one we ended up getting some sheep to represent the woolstores.” Ms Bridgstock has since left Brisbane for the town of Bellingen on the mid north coast of New South Wales, but on hearing that our woolly friends were still an important part of the festival ten years on, she’s delighted. “I think they’re the star of the show!” Although no-longer a Brisbane local, Vicki has a close connection to Teneriffe, even beyond the

suburb-reinstatement work, and her role in Festival. She’s so connected to Teneriffe, it could be said she wrote the book on it - she’s the author of the local history work Tides of Teneriffe: Ebb and flow in a riverside suburb, available from the New Farm and Districts Historical Society.

“People say to me, ‘well, do you live in Teneriffe? You’ve written a book; you got the suburb status back’ and I say ‘no – I can’t afford to live in Teneriffe!’. “But I am an honorary citizen of Teneriffe, I consider myself to be one anyway.” As an avid campaigner for the maintenance of the city’s heritage, Vicki campaigned to save the Regent Theatre and the Shingle Inn. She’s currently in the process of writing another book – Paradise Loss: the life and loss of Brisbane heritage. For the future of the city, she has a simple message: “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”. She said Teneriffe presented a fine example of heritage conservation. “The fact they preserved those woolstores was an absolutely wonderful thing - that was such a great outcome at the time. “They were almost going to be demolished – rats were living in them - it was so good that that renewal project happened, it absolutely saved the suburb.” There’s still plenty of passion in Vicki’s heart, it’s just moved a little way away. “If they tried to change Bellingen down here, they’re going to have a fight on her hands.”

After twelve months of planning, the team at Green Beacon have prepared a special beverage specifically for the Teneriffe Festival. Green Beacon co-owner Adrian Slaughter said the beer they’d prepared would be a treat for fans of their classic brews, and even for non-beer drinkers. Green Beacon’s tipple for the Teneriffe Festival is named Blush; it’s a rosé sour, a crossfermented concoction that plays with chardonnay grapes. “It captures that brilliant sunshine of a glorious Queensland day,” Mr Slaughter said. “It’s the sort of drink you can sit on, sip away at and enjoy. “It’s a bit of fun.” Mr Slaughter said 2019 had been a year of celebration for Green Beacon. “Obviously there’s the 10th anniversary of the Teneriffe Festival,” Mr Slaughter said, and noted Green Beacon Brewing Co’s win of the Champion Medium Australian Brewery award at the Australian International Beer Awards. “We’re looking forward to being the best brewer in Australia at the best festival in Brisbane.” j u ly ’19 | M Y V I L L A G E N E W S

The anticipation of the announcement, Central Ward councillor, David Hinchliffe has set about planning a Teneriffe Festival, with the author of the new Tides of Teneriffe book, Vicki Bridgestock, as one of the celebrity guests. Cr Hinchliff said it would be “a winter-time festival” and be held on the boardwalk. He said the festival would focus on the area’s unique history in wool, wharves and war - a reference to Teneriffe’s role in World War ll as the base headquarters for all allied submarines.

change of parts of Newstead to Teneriffe which has been a“locality” since the Department of Natural Resources established suburbs more than three decades ago. Councillor David Hinchliffe said that because the application was backed at state, local government and community level, it would streamline the process for Teneriffe to become a suburb. Ms Grace said a lot of the work for the campaign had been done by her parliamentary intern, Vicki Bridgestock who put together the application,community consultation and historical evidence. She also paid tribute to the members of the Teneriffe Working Group for their interest,enthusiasm and the generous giving of their time. Residents who want any further information may contact Ms Grace’s office on 3832 1322.

HISTORICTeneriffe is about to be returned to its rightful status as a suburb after a campaign launched in the first edition of the Village News. The member for Brisbane Central, Grace Grace, believes it is now a formality for the name to be gazetted after the formal application was lodged on February 3 by theTeneriffe Working Group supported by more than 100 submissions from locals. "I am very pleased to fully support this application and I am looking forward to be able to officially callTeneriffe a suburb," Ms Grace said. Village News joined the celebrations, saying the outcome showed the importance of having a local voice which had been the exclusive driver of the campaign. Residents who voted in a plebiscite on the name overwhelmingly chose a change of name to Teneriffe as their first choice. Their opinions were considered and endorsed at a meeting in January. Two-thirds of submissions favoured the

Sally Sa set to sizzle

Inaugural chair remembers ten years of festivities As dawn broke on the morning of the first Teneriffe Festival, inaugural chairman Richard Bodley wasn’t sure how the unique riverside event would pan out. “I had no idea what to expect,” Mr Bodley said. “The greatest surprise was waking up on that first morning and thinking ‘will anyone turn up?’, but then we were absolutely smashed, thousands of people turned up. “I remember coming out and seeing the crowds at the first event, it was amazing. “It really captured the imagination of the people.” Over ten years, the Teneriffe Festival has grown in scale and sophistication and it’s this growth that Mr Bodley sees as a highlight of his involvement. “We started off thinking it would be some sort of a long lunch and it evolved from there,” he says. Mr Bodley notes the introduction of the River Stage area as one of the biggest developments to the Festival, and this year he’s excited for what it has to offer. “It’s the diversity in the music that I’m looking forward to, it’s awesome being able to attract great bands and acts.” The success of the festival, Mr Bodley said, is a credit to the committee and to the team of volunteers that make it happen year on year. Mr Bodley wishes the committee the best for the tenth year of the festival and seeing the event continuing to grow. “It’ll be important to work out ways to keep improving, and to keep it fresh. “People look forward to it and I think it will continue in its popularity.”

As well as the committee members, Mr Bodley thanked Brisbane City Council and Councillor Vicki Howard. “I think the festival support from Vicki Howard’s point of view is fantastic – her enthusiasm needs to be recognised.” After a decade of merriment in the streets of Teneriffe, Mr Bodley said the event was a true celebration of a unique part of the river city. “It’s a great opportunity to express how proud and lucky we are to live in this area. “And, I always like to think it’s not just about the people of Teneriffe, it’s for all the people of Brisbane.”

Smokey but smooth, Sally Sa’s music reminds you of mouthfuls of spiced rum - warming, strangely familiar and intoxicating. Sally Sa is set to take the stage as the headline act at the Teneriffe Festival, offering up music that’s hard to put into a box - a heady mix of roots, jazz, and hip-hop. “It’s just something that I love doing - it’s the music that I warm to,” Sally says of her eclectic style. Her performing career began with hip-hop in the main, and Sally says she didn’t start performing her electrifying vocals until about ten years ago. However, Sally has a voice that echoes through the ages. She’s influenced by the likes of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, and her songs have an almost timeless quality. She’s been gigging since the early 2000s and throughout her time has opened shows for Wendy Matthews and Maxi Priest. “I’ve had some beautiful experiences around some beautiful musicians,” she says. For the festival, this self-confessed surfer-girl from Cabarita Beach, just south of the Queensland border, is bringing something to Teneriffe that’ll have punters dancing. “I’m really looking forward to

Ethel Street becomes memory lane For the first time in the history of the festival, a whole laneway will be blocked off and dedicated to showcasing the history of area, says New Farm and District Historical Society President Ross Garnett. Flanked by iconic woolstores, Ethel Street will host the Historical Society Laneway and will feature an array of fascinating displays. “We’ll have local volunteers there to talk to people about the area,” Mr Garnett says. “We have lots of people moving in to Teneriffe that want to know more about the history. “We’re having a range of our very

successful history books available for sale.” The Laneway will also feature an array of vintage army vehicles, displays of footage of old Brisbane trams, and a wool classing display. “There’ll also be a vintage fire engine for kids to climb on and look around. “It’s going to be quite good fun.”

seeing Brisbane on stage, and I do have a little following up there and connecting to them in their home town is going to be great.” In terms of what to expect from the performance, Sally says her shows are always “fun and spontaneous” but that from gig to gig “it really depends on the crowd and what they’re wanting in the moment”. In the lead up to the big day, Sally’s been hard at work in the recording studio in the lead up to the launch of an album. “We’re hot to go, really looking forward to this festival.”

Meet Benny and the jets To coincide with the tenth anniversary of the Teneriffe Festival, the Brisbane Airport Corporation is excited to bring along something new. Festival goers will get to the meet ‘Benny’, the Brisbane Airport Corporation’s mobile information centre. Benny will tell the story of the new airport runway, and help to explain what that means for local residents. Benny houses interactive screens featuring the flight path tool, a digital platform showing the jet arrival and departure flight paths from Brisbane Airport, both current and when the new runway opens in mid-2020. The flight path tool will deliver information in relation to any Brisbane address about where it sits in relation to aircraft volume forecasts and the expected noise footprint for the current and future flight paths. The tool also shows noise mapping, highlighting areas that will experience aircraft noise of 70 decibels or more. Benny is also packed with information about Brisbane Airport’s history BAC staff and other technical experts from the industry will be on hand at the Teneriffe Festival from 10am-3pm to answer any of your questions and teach you how to use the flight path tool. j u ly ’19 | M Y V I L L A G E N E W S

GERARD BENJAMIN

Not long before World War I, a young man in his early 20s named Harold Augustus Gates (later ‘Lofty’ to his friends because of his 6’4’’ height) must have decided that outback Queensland offered more opportunities than being a draper’s warehouseman in London. The year 1916 saw him working as a wellsinker/driller near Emerald, and it was from there that he enlisted in the AIF. For a cabinet manufacturer’s son with an eye to business, there could be nothing like the army to highlight the lucrative potential of the laundry trade. After the war, Gates’ first efforts with the clean towel service started from a fruit shop near South Brisbane station not far from the old Trocadero dance hall. By 1923, the enterprising gentleman was operating the Gates

Hygienic Laundry and Clean Towel Supply from a house at 81 Hill Street, off Gregory Terrace. Unfortunately in March 1926, a fire put paid to these plans. Undaunted, Mr Gates set up again, this time in Lutwyche. By the early 1930s, the business had moved to 281 Harcourt Street, Teneriffe. Gates was adept at marketing. His regular newspaper advertising appealed to the lady of the house: “The Hygienic Laundry now offers Brisbane housewives the same service her sisters in Melbourne, Sydney, New York, London, etc. enjoy.” His catchcry became, “Let our phone line (B6966) be your clothes line.” In 1937, Gates was inviting the public to view the modern works. It would be ‘an education for one and all’. This was the same year that a modest architect-designed family home was completed next door to the factory. The house merited a feature in The Home section of the Sunday Mail. Mr and Mrs Gates’ son, John, just a youngster in the WWII years, has vivid memories of the tremendous wartime throughput. “The laundry’s customers

included shipping companies as well as the US Navy submarine base at New Farm,” he said. A photo from the period shows a Flynn Brothers’ semi-trailer outside the factory loaded with cleaned and ironed linen destined for a very large troopship. “The photo’s caption says, ‘27,500 pieces of linen in all, completed in five days’,” said John. Another photo could be titled ‘emergency drying’. The street scene shows every available surface—including the roof of the family home, as well as hedges, the front fence and a nearby vehicle— being draped with drying blankets. “I have many memories of customers from the military bases coming and going. “Most were US forces and I liked the USN Seabees (Construction Battalion) as they always brought chewing gum and candy,” John said. “This attracted neighbourhood kids

as if a hooter had sounded. “One US submariner loaned us Benny Goodman records to be returned on his next visit. “Sadly he and his crewmates were lost at sea.” Mr Gates kept up with developments by attending conferences in England and investing in new equipment. A landmark purchase in 1951 included an ironing machine which could handle 40 shirts an hour. The factory suffered a fire in the mid-1960s after which it was rebuilt. As industry began moving out of Teneriffe, the laundry eventually closed and by the 1980s, the site was redeveloped for housing units.

Alana came to my rescue By AnneMarie White After a virulent virus hacked its way through my computer, I stood at the tech desk at Harvey Norman Fortitude Valley in tears as I saw my life history in photos and documents eaten away, until computer technician Alana Pellowe comes to my rescue, simply saying “I can help”. “I just want to be able to make a positive difference. “It is that simple,” explains Alana when asked what drives her each day. “When I go home and reflect on my day, I feel good that I have been able to solve my customers’ technical problems. “And without tooting my horn I know I am good at my job; I feel proud of what I can do for people and I appreciate that others recognize that I am a smart technician.” That recognition is obvious with a raft of Commendation Awards lining her office walls. Whilst life for Alana (pictured) is now shining brightly, she concedes it been a dark challenging journey. At four Alana was diagnosed with cancer in her kidney which became metastatic into her lungs. She endured gruelling regimes of chemotherapy and various cancer treatments which she says have left their mark emotionally and physically. Then just as she was recovering her health, her aunt died and the following year Alana’s family were involved in a catastrophic car accident that injured Alana and left her mother a semi-invalid. “Life was pretty tough growing up,” she says. “At school I had no idea of a career so I just did fun subjects like art. “I struggled to learn through books, but then and now I enjoy learning by doing.” It is this active and practical attitude towards education that has seen Alana rise to her current position as one of only a handful of Harvey Norman computer technicians in Australia. “After leaving school I worked at Big W at the courtesy desk feeling useful but knowing this was not my destiny,” she says. “It was my cousin Rebecca, who was working at Harvey Norman in the city, who recommended me for a job as a cashier at the store.”

COUNCIL CONNECTIONS FREE SENIORS TRAVEL

She got that job, then worked in the photo department, “but I knew I wanted more”. “Every day I saw the boys in the tech area doing interesting things and I decided that was where I wanted to be. “Each time one of the guys left I asked to be the replacement, but it wasn’t until Jenny Mills became the boss that I was given my big chance and I was determined to make the most of it. “I listened, learned and Googled my education, increasingly feeling I understood the technology that could help our customers. “In fact when after only three weeks I got my first official customer compliment, I think management saw I had some talent.” Previously the store’s technical model was to take the customer’s faulty computer, get it repaired externally and return it, but Alana saw a value in helping customers fix small problems in store and gradually that protocol grew with now most repairs being dealt with in store. “This was where I found my niche – my sweet place,” says Alana. “I could turn sad into happy. “I could personally help customers, reassuring them and give them a gift of great personal service.” Alana is also blazing a trail for other technical women in her company. “In 2017 I went to the company’s technical conference where I was one of only three female technicians. “I like to dream our next conference will feature many more women technicians because this is not good enough. “I work hard now to encourage other women to follow a technical path.” So, as I write Alana’s story on my now virus free computer, I am grateful that a shy introverted young girl has found her niche as a tech magician.

We want to give back to those generations who have worked hard and contributed much to help build our city and our community. That’s why we have decided that seniors will be able to travel GETTING ON BOARD WITH DIANE GAGE, LOLA MOYLE (NATIONAL for free during off-peak times on SENIORS ACTIVITIES OFFICER) AND PATRICIA FERGUSON Brisbane buses, CityCats and ferries from 1 October this year. Free off-peak travel for seniors on Council’s public transport will go a long way to encouraging greater use of public transport and we encourage the State Government to adopt the same approach for rail commuters.

SPRING HILL VICTORIA PARK VISION We hope you’ve heard about our plans for Victoria Park - Together we are going to create the biggest new park in 50 years for Central Ward for Spring Hill, Herston, and Bowen Hills residents. When you think of some of great parklands across the globe, Central Park in New York City, Lumphini Park in Bangkok and Hyde Park in London come to mind for their hundreds of trees, free attractions and for offering people a green sanctuary within a busy capital city. We’re kickstarting the community consultation and design for the Victoria Park Vision that will protect greenspace for future generations and help make Brisbane an even better place to live and relax.

KEEP NEWSTEAD IN CENTRAL WARD Our #KeepNewsteadInCentral campaign continues and we thank the community for your hundreds of letters of support. There is a suggestion put forward by others that Newstead be removed from Central Ward and placed within the boundary of Hamilton Ward. We’re not sure you would agree that there is a community of interest between Newstead and Pinkenba and Kalinga, so we would encourage anyone who is concerned about this change to contact central.ward@bcc.qld.gov.au and we will get your thoughts to the Queensland Electoral Commission. There is no denying that Newstead and Teneriffe should have the one councillor. Placing Newstead into Hamilton Ward does not enhance the community but divides it. You work in Central – your children go to school in Central – you shop in and use the services of Central – so let’s #KeepNewsteadInCentral – more info at www.vickihoward.com/KeepNewsteadInCentral

What are your top three destinations & why? Alaska, USA – the magnificent glaciers, especially viewed from aboard a cruise ship. The captain slowly rotates the ship to ensure the best views and photo ops are available for everyone (and a balcony cabin is a must!) Victoria, Canada – the gardens and local residences we saw when out walking were absolutely breathtaking – make sure you get out on foot in this beautiful place Machu Picchu, Peru – for the ancient Incan ruins – it’s just incredible to consider the amount of work that went into building these amazing structures What’s your favourite travel tale? On our way to visit the Egyptian Pyramids and The Great Sphinx at Giza, we travelled in a coach not only accompanied by a guide but also guntoting security guards, with a spare tour bus following, just in case ours broke down. All totally justified due to security issues over there but we honestly felt the biggest risk for us were the death-defying coach drivers – they drive like absolute maniacs! Do you have an ‘off the beaten’ track story? When visiting Doini Island in Papua New Guinea, we headed out on what the locals had assured us was just a “short walk” to the island’s local attraction, a skull cave. Due to the heat and what we believed would be a casual stroll, we wore thongs as our footwear. However, we soon discovered what a mistake that was – the “short walk” turned out to be 1½ hours long, on a rocky and at times, steep path before we finally reached the cave. And then we had to turn around and head back again! Future travelers to the skull cave, be duly warned.

A really memorable dining experience whilst travelling? We’re great fans of cruise travel, so dining in an onboard restaurant with my lovely wife is always a fantastic option, especially on board a ship like the Golden Princess which offers such wonderful cuisine. By example, its Italian restaurant “Sabatini’s” was voted one of the “Best Cruise Ship Specialty Restaurants” by global newspaper publisher, USA Today. Any favourite travel Apps? Smart Roamfree is a great App to use when you’re in the Philippines. It cuts the cost of roaming charges and provides Smart’s international travellers with sponsored data access to popular travel services such as Agoda, Airbnb, Grab, Uber, Klook, TripAdvisor, ATM Finder, Google Maps and Groupon. What’s your number #1 most practical travel tip to share with fellow travellers? When in doubt and needing advice, talk to people, especially the locals. It’s almost an old-fashioned concept in a world of smart phones which can tell us nearly everything but it’s still a great way to find out what you need to know, often with some great tips thrown in. Aside from the basics (ie passport, credit card etc), what are three ‘must take’ items for you when travelling? • Sunscreen – the spray version • iPhone (primarily as a photo and video camera & for posting to Facebook) • A media player What’s been your biggest travel grumble? We renewed our passports just prior to heading off overseas in 2017, to ensure we had all the latest scannable features available via an ePassport, which can facilitate quick and easy arrivals and departures. However, when in China, we discovered their passport processing hadn’t advanced to scanning technology. We subsequently had to line up in a queue for hours for manual processing, just to get through customs. Not quite the speedy high-tech process we had anticipated and a real time waster. j u ly ’19 | M Y V I L L A G E N E W S

AGE does not weary them By AnneMarie White Ken and Jenny Milner prove age is no reason to lose enthusiasm for life as they both happily share stories of the local New Farm branch of National Seniors. President Ken and Jenny (pictured), PR and assistant treasurer of the club, say they are grateful for finding their reward and life niche within the organization. “Our organization plays such an important role here within the New Farm community,” says Ken. “Not only through the national organization do we advocate for the rights of those of an increasing age, but local branches, like New Farm, are the heart and soul of the aged community. “We are the social arm keeping seniors alive, active and connected providing education, activities and of course entertainment for seniors in our area.”

“Just one example of this is that we currently run a Be Connected computer literacy program on Tuesday afternoons with around 40 locals at the Merthyr Uniting Church covering both the basics and extension classes on digital technology,” adds Jenny. “There is so much more too; what with swapping yarns and enjoying the company of our friends socially, I honestly don’t know what I would do without this group,” admits Ken. With the advent of new and trendy retirement enclaves

springing up in the area I ask about the relevance of their organization compared with the advertised lifestyle living of over 50 villages. Jenny is quick to point out a new positive attitude to aging where “70 is the new 50”. Ken agrees saying, “our organization remains essential for the large aging population living independently in either apartments or their family homes. “The New Farm Seniors Branch is a vibrant hub for these people and a lifeline for those who want to get out and involved within their extended community.” Ken and Jenny were friends in Victoria and each independently moved up to Brisbane with work but reconnected and married in 1971. Originally in the stationery business, Ken took a weekend caretaker role at Gleneagles Apartments in Moray St that turned into a fulltime job. When Gleneagles was sold, he moved to work in aged care as onsite night manager with Blue Care at West End. Jenny meanwhile had her own career change beginning work at Palm Lodge then with Churches of Christ Care in aged care. “So together we certainly lived

much of our life in the care of the aged and so got a deep innate sense of what was helpful in that area,” says Ken. “Funnily enough in 2014 we saw a New Farm Seniors article in the Village News advertising a concert featuring an acquaintance of ours, Elizabeth Garrett,” says Jenny. “We decided to go and we loved it and the club environment so much we signed up and have never left.” “Then about four years ago the local President resigned, and Muggins here put up his hand for the job,” admits Ken “and I am still here”, he says with a wry grin. Having been a community conscious man all his life, Ken says “I feel at this time of my life the need to put back into my community. “I am really enjoying my tenure here in New Farm and am very fortunate to have a fabulous committee with me, enabling us to contribute towards the social welfare of aged people and giving them a voice.” Whilst over the past half-century Ken and Jenny have lived in a variety of homes in Moray, Brunswick and Moreton Streets, they now live a 30-minute drive down the freeway in Bethania. “But our hearts still beat here,” they both quickly stress as we sit and share a coffee in their ‘home away from home cafe’ in New Farm Village.

VALERIE FERDINANDS @mummavalerie.mkr

Waste not, love food I’m always eager to speak to some of my favourite chefs in the area who are so giving with their knowledge. Interestingly, many draw from culinary knowledge handed down generations. The notion of not wasting food, not over-buying and getting back to basics - buying fresh produce, preferably knowing where it came from or growing it yourself, is invariably part of the conversation. The convenience of buying prepacked, pre-bottled, pre-everything means we are lacking in confidence to cook from scratch or being able to improvise with what’s in the fridge or in the pantry or knowing what to do with leftovers. Progress may have come back to bite us! Mickey, owner/chef of 2BThai in its 10th year of operation on Merthyr Road, New Farm, says buying fresh local produce daily or every second day means the food tastes better and is key to reducing waste. Jenny Conlon from Pantry 360 in Newstead loves pickling and making her own jams, which she learnt from her mother. Jenny says brussels sprouts pickle really well and are a hit on her charcuterie boards – the pickling solution is flavoured with black peppercorns, cloves, mustard seeds, chilli and of course brussels sprouts cut in half. My friend Cecilia Diaz-Petersen, “CC” from Petersen’s Farm says

farming is rewarding and challenging especially dealing with waste. She stretches the life and use of “ugly produce” which are blemished, an irregular shape or an odd colour, through the valueadding arm of her business CC’s Kitchen. CC makes delicious pickles, jams and sauces putting good use to what is considered ugly, imperfect or slightly wilted produce and the extra income sustains a viable livelihood. My mate Chef Paula who runs her Happy Home Chef business from Newstead pickles just about anything from wilted veges perfect for Asian dishes, onions great for cheese boards, apples with star anise which goes so well with pork or tangerines with skin on delicious with ham. She says don’t throw away the pickling solution, just keep adding to it as the flavour intensifies. Chef Nick Stapleton from The Balfour Kitchen loves to pickle a variety of chilis and uses his Tsuki mix based on Japanese pickles using baby corn, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes and carrots. Our illustrious editor at My Village News is obsessed with pickling too as a food waste prevention strategy – talks about it a heck of a lot but has never pickled anything in his life! To be fair, he just doesn’t know where to start like so many folk, so I urge you to give the recipe below a go, it will be so worthwhile and rewarding believe me and my editor, I expect to show the readers a bottle of your pickle in the next edition! www.pantry360.com.au www.happyhomechef.com.au www.2bthai.com.au www.spickersretreats.com Nick Stapleton

Brisbane celebrated all things hot ’n’ spicy at the second Briz-Chilli Festival at Newstead Waterfront Park last month. Festival goers enjoyed salsa dancing, cooking and gardening workshops with a few brave people entering the hot wing competition. The main attraction was Hellfire Ally featuring 21 stalls where you could find all things burning-hot from sauces, sweets, and chilli bushes. The festival raised $10,500 for Cystic Fibrosis with 1800 chilli fanatics pouring through the door to celebrate the growing global chilli culture. Event organiser Sandra Beynon explained why it has become such a popular event on the Brisbane calendar. “Celebrating all things chilli, getting to be brave and silly all at once and supporting a great cause.” My Village News Columnist and MKR 2017 finalist Valerie Ferdinands heated up her taste buds, judging

countless hot sauces for nearly seven hours, crowning Goblin’s Breath by The Sabarac Sauce Co. the winner of the Best Product Award for 2019. Valerie explained that she was looking for a unique product with a balance of natural tastes as well as spice. “I tried all the hot sauce vendors and I was going for something with lots of flavour, I didn’t want to taste vinegar or lots of sugar, I wanted to have that well-rounded flavour.” The brains behind Goblin’s Breath, Geoff Barker, was humbled to win the coveted award of the festival as a novice in the industry. “To get the best product at my first chilli fest, with a sauce that I have only just finished developing is mind blowing!”

Biggest and best fete to date Despite a foggy start to the day and a wild storm in the afternoon, New Farm State School’s biannual fete turned out to be the biggest and best in its 118-year history. A record 3,500 happy fete-goers passed through the gates. Thanks to the generosity of the local community, the fete raised $95,000. The money will be put towards the school’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths) program. The fete had something for everyone, with bars featuring locallycrafted gin, beer and wines, live music, dancing and comedy on stage, markets, and delicious foods as well

as rides, activities and a silent disco. The Dinosaur Dig proved popular and new event Dr Bakenstein’s Cupcake Lab was declared the most scrumptiously fun activity at the fete. The day would not have been possible were it not for community support.

The fete had something for everyone, with bars featuring locallycrafted gin, beer and wines, live music, dancing and comedy on stage, markets, and delicious foods as well as rides, activities and a silent disco.

The school wishes to thank its sponsors, especially platinum sponsors Ray White New Farm, Living Here and major sponsors Brisbane Airport Corporation, Bowen Hills Early Learning, Unison Projects, and My Village News. The school would also like to thank volunteer parents and grandparents who grew plants, baked cakes, donated books and toys, and manned stalls on the day, all which helped make the fete a fabulous success. j u ly ’19 | M Y V I L L A G E N E W S

New Farm CEO tops sleepout list ERM Power CEO, and New Farm local Jon Stretch was recognised as Queensland’s top fundraiser in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout Mr Stretch raised a total of $106,297, more than doubling the money he raised for his first sleepout in 2016. Since 2016, Mr Stretch has raised $286,886 for the cause. At the Brisbane Powerhouse event more than 150 participants raised $911,351 for Vinnies homelessness programs and services, helping Vinnies to provide affordable housing options for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Vinnies Queensland CEO Kevin Mercer said funds raised by the Vinnies CEO Sleepout events, run for the past 10 years in Queensland, make a tangible difference by providing direct support to those struggling

with homelessness in Queensland with vital resources, facilities and programs. “This year’s event raised muchneeded funds to help us provide a hand up to people in crisis, and help break the cycle of poverty and homelessness,” he said.

The Fred Hollows Foundation has thanked the people of New Farm, whose generosity helped deliver 929,106 eye operations and treatments in 2018. Communities like New Farm – who donated more than $53,000 over the 2018 financial year – helped The Fred Hollows Foundation train 59,207 eye surgeons, nurses, community health workers and teachers to continue Fred’s legacy of restoring sight for the world’s poorest people. One of the patients New Farm people helped was eight-year-old Samuel (pictured) from rural Kenya, who had relied on his twin brother

John his entire life. Samuel was among those who received sight-saving surgery thanks to The Foundation. Gabi Hollows, Founding Director of The Fred Hollows Foundation, thanked the community for its support and encouraged people to give whatever they can to help keep Fred’s vision alive. “I would like to thank each and every person who has helped us change the lives of many millions of the world’s poorest people who are living with avoidable blindness,” Gabi Hollows said.

From the inner-city Brisbane residential real estate side, we saw an immediate sugar hit in the week after the election. In the first week after the Liberal government retained power we saw realestate.com.au enquires roar with 674 in the week after the election compared with 471 the week before.

It will take a few months for sales to settle and prices to be recorded. We will still have some soft patches this year and the jury is still out as whether we will see house price growth, but these are certainly the signs we are looking for. haesley is the local principal of living here cush partners and a columnist for the sunday mail. portions of this article may be an extract from his column.

The first is in the inner-city apartment market. This section of the property market has been kicked around the last couple of years, due especially to the abundance of units available either ‘off the plan’ or through re-sale. Prior to the election we started to see an increase in buyer activity, and this has continued to build in momentum. We have seen price growth but it’s from the low base of the market, not necessarily from what people paid in previous years. However, with price growth comes the opportunity to eventually claw back to the level’s investors paid over the last couple of years. The second area of significant improvement has been in the number of open house attendees since the election. In those early weeks we only saw a shift in buyer enquires. We can now analysis the 4 weeks after the election against the 4 weeks prior and here are the numbers. Open for inspection attendees 4 weeks preelection were 749 vs 996 4 weeks post-election. That’s approximately a 30% uplift in inspections!

IN SPRING? WHY BLNF? 1.

I cap the number of listings I have at any one time. Within the real estate industry, this is unheard of, but I just won’t dilute my focus. My priority is my Seller, and processing their sale with record-breaking results. Every Time. Without Exception.

2. You matter to us! Property is never just a transaction at BLNF. We genuinely care, provide exceptional service and always act with integrity. Our attitude has attracted many industry accolades, with several customer service awards and a 5-star rating. Take a moment to read real reviews from our clients at www.ratemyagent.com.au; search ‘New Farm’. 3. My average is 12 days on the market before a sale. Compare this against the suburb average of 65.7 days. My absolute priority is my Seller – I cap the number of listings I have to allow myself the ability to hyperfocus on your sale. I’m also tenacious about getting the best results possible. Once listed at BLNF, I give you, your property and buyers 24/7 service. Neither do I necessarily take the first offer. I’m always working - for you and your best result. 4. A 98.9% success rate achieving or surpassing the owner’s goal price. I give conservative appraisals of your property’s value. I want to under-promise and over-achieve, not hook you in. 5.

6. One point of contact; the less hands on the ball the less likely it is that it will fall. It’s me selling your property. I give regular updates and excellent communication. 7. There is no cookie cutter template to marketing property. Each BLNF marketing recommendation and sales strategy is tailor-made for the individual property, the market, and the Seller’s budget. Your property will be the star, not me. 8. I come from a creative, digital marketing background. Armed with a Media Studies degree, I utilised digital marketing years before social media even existed. My aesthetics and branding knowledge ensure BLNF presents to market striking, memorable campaigns designed to capture a targeted and maximized audience. 9. I’m a professional Visual Merchandiser. In each BLNF campaign I use this skillset to insert aesthetic triggers to prompt a psychological response from a buyer and create a sale. I know how a campaign should present in order to achieve top dollar, and I understand timing. 10. Selling your property is a huge financial decision, and I’m here to ensure there’s no stress. I’ve been in your shoes - as a Seller six times, and a Buyer, five times. I also endured the GFC as a business owner. Rest assured, my collective life experiences have left me well-grounded, with broad shoulders.

A career in real estate is a marathon, against other agents. So I’m happy to receive a Buyer not a sprint. No churn and burn here. My motto is, A G E N T O F T H Ereferral Ythrough E Aanother R agent. I’ll roll out the red ‘tread gently in life’, and I’m relationship orientated. carpet. No ego, no issues.

0414 770 956

I started selling on the shop floor when I was 12. It was fun, and I learnt a lot. By 17 years I realised I was good at selling. By 19, I was a top seller. At 37 years I decided retail sales would be my career. Now at almost 50, I’ve had 25 years of sales, marketing, and small business experience. I still get a rush everytime I achieve a great result for my Sellers. I take my appointment very seriously, and am extremely grateful to my Sellers. My high sales prices are a result of this loyalty and gratitude.

If this is your year to make a move with your property, the team at BLNF would love to speak with you.
