AUSTRALIAN PGA CHAMPIONSHIPS
Chalmed life A
s the home of the Australian PGA Championship, resort golf in Australia doesn’t get better than at Hyatt Regency Coolum. This 72 par, 6137 metre course offering contrasting landscapes, manicured fairways that weave their way through native bushland has most recently played host to golf’s hottest world talent in the most spectacular of surroundings. The 2011 Australian PGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola on November 24-27 2011, was bound to turn up the heat even before play as big names signed on to take the challenge earlier this year. 2010 defending champion, Peter Senior and Australian 4 Resort Life - The Coolum Residences
quintet: Adam Scott, Robert Allenby, last year’s runner-up Geoff Ogilvy, Aaron Baddeley and John Senden joined golfing legends and greats, Greg Norman, Jason Day, Darren Clarke and Bubba Wilson amongst others including South Korean champion and Asia’s first major winner Y E Yang and newly-crowned British Open champion Darren Clarke, in what was the best ever field for the championship since it arrived on the Sunshine Coast back in 2002. Premier Anna Bligh, excited about this year’s line-up reveled in the big name opportunity for the tourism industry. “The Queensland Government is continuing to invest in events just like this through Events Queensland because they act as a major drawcard for visitors. This year’s lineup

was great news for the Sunshine Coast and the local tourism industry,” she said. Following a one-hole playoff with Marcus Fraser and fourtime champion Robert Allenby, it was West Australian Greg Chalmers who is the toast of the PGA Tour of Australasia after winning his second consecutive tournament. Chalmers added the Joe Kirkwood Cup to his growing collection to take home his second cheque for $270,000 in as many weeks after winning the Australian Open under pressure with Tiger Woods for company. Chalmers took home the title with a final score of 12-under par, a much lower winning score than he had anticipated before teeing off. “I was a little surprised that 12 under ended up getting into the playoff. I thought at the time that would be a nice top three or five tournament.” “It was a little tricky, but I thought there was still quite a few birdies out there. I just tried to play solid golf, I made some very nice putts when I needed to, my putt on 14 that I made probably saved my day.” Not watching Robert and Marcus putt he was surprised when he didn’t hear a roar from the crowd from where he was. It was a tricky putt for Allenby and when he heard that he had holed it followed by Marcus repeating his form from five yards on the green – the pressure was on. “At that point of the game. I find playoffs quite tranquil and relaxing. I feel like there is more pressure to get to that point and it was surprising that I won that hole. Robert is one of the best drivers in the game but he has been doing it tough lately with his golf game so I was surprised that a par got it done.” Obviously disappointed not to take home his fifth Australian PGA Championship title, Allenby said he was happy to see his game coming back together and the trophy in the hands of a good mate. “Of course I wanted to win. I wanted to win my fifth PGA there is no question about it,” said Allenby.

Robert Allenby
“I am happy for a second, obviously first is what I really, really wanted, but I am happy for Greg. He is a good friend of mine and we have been mates for a long time.” Fellow playoff entrant Marcus Fraser was likewise optimistic about the result. Chalmers will now take time off and, more importantly, decide whether he will contend the upcoming JBWere Masters and attempt to capture the ‘triple crown’ of Australian golf. Chalmers said that while he would love to be at Victoria Golf Club, the decision would ultimately come down to family commitments. “To be brutally honest I have played 31 or 32 events this year and I’m tired. We don’t dig gold for a living, it’s certainly not a decision I am prepared to make right now.” “I am thrilled to have two Australian Opens and now an Australian PGA, the Australian PGA with I think our longest history and the names on here, to have a piece of that history is what it is all about, and I have got that now and my family are so proud of me.” His family including two young sons showed mixed emotion as Chalmers win sank in. “The boys were beaming and my wife was speechless for tears. She was so emotional as this is the first time she has seen me win, and being here live is just a personal moment for me,” he smiled. Max (his oldest son) who has Asperger’s is a true inspiration for Chalmers and said that no one had worked harder this year than this eight-year-old who has achieved everything possible to improve to where he is now. “It doesn’t really mean anything to anybody else and I get that, but for me and my family those moments together at tournaments are rare and when you get the opportunity to have people around you and something like this happens – it’s huge.” n

PROPERTY & INVESTMENT
The buyer’s market T
with Matthew Gross
he property market in 2011 has been affected by a range of economic factors beyond the control of every market participant. Periods of economic change, whether they are due to global debt issues or the two speed economy in Queensland, lead to uncertainty which generally means people adopt a wait and see attitude and become cautious in their buying behaviour. “This cautious approach results in a lower number of sales as people delay major purchases however it also provides opportunities that do not exist in a hot market,” said property analyst Matthew Gross. “It is the ability for buyers to capitalise on these market conditions, as vendors are usually open to offers or as developers, often willing to provide some form of incentive. These incentives are often value added to the subject property which provides a real and genuine benefit to the purchaser.” The other characteristic that these market conditions provide is the platform to buy with the medium to longerterm outlook in mind. Too often property gets lumped into the investment profile, like shares, however the more recent economic conditions have demonstrated that residential property has been inherently more stable than many other asset classes. “To highlight this we did a simple analysis of resales over the last 10 years for the 4573 postcode (Coolum Beach, Mount Coolum, Marcus Beach, Peregian Beach, Point Arkwright and Yaroomba) area,” explained Mr Gross. This analysis included house sales between 2001 and 2011 that had an increase, decrease or no change in price. The analysis did not include houses sold during this period. 8 Resort Life - The Coolum Residences
The analysis proved that 89% of sales resulted in an increase in price while 2.3% experienced no change and 8.7% had a drop in price. Of those that experienced a decrease, 68% of that 8.7% experienced a decline of less than 10%. Further investigation into the circumstances of the price decreases indicates that these tended to be properties that were sold several times over the period and had often experienced a strong price increase but had then dropped back slightly. In addition, a period of less than three years between sales also increased the chances of a negative result. This was particularly prevalent for purchasers that were highly geared when the GFC impacted Australia in 2008. “In terms of price increases, 89% of people experienced an increase in their property price despite the tough economic circumstances of the GFC and the current slowdown in activity,” he said. “There were also 57.8% of sales that resulted in a price increase of 25% or more. This highlighted the benefits of the longer term hold strategy.” The key points to take away from this are that for most people, property is a long-term investment, not something you buy one year and sell the next. So a property purchase at ‘The Coolum Residences’, would make perfect investment sense according to specialist Mr Gross. “In conclusion, and more importantly, I think not only does it make perfect sense to invest at ‘The Coolum Residences’ but also proves that for those that take a long term view - now could be a very good time to take advantage of the ‘buyers market’ conditions.” n

fter a herculean effort by the Lend lease and Sekisui House Marketing and Sales departments the next natural stage in the sale of the Hyatt Regency Coolum Resort has taken place with a new name launched in November 2011 for the residential community - ‘The Coolum Residences.’ When Lend Lease and Sekisui House sold the Hyatt Regency Coolum resort to local businessman Clive Palmer it marked the start of a natural transition and a new chapter for the residents who live in and around the resort. Lend Lease Project Director Peter Bolton-Hall said the sale of the resort meant the change of name was a natural progression and an opportunity to forge a new identity for the development while retaining strong links to the Hyatt Regency Coolum. “The sale doesn’t change Lend Lease’s role as Development Manager for Sekisui House Australia or the Hyatt Regency Coolum’s long relationship with the residential community through resort membership and the use of the five star resort facilities. The existing residential precinct names, already developed by Lend Lease, of Beachside, Vantage and Visage remain unchanged.” To facilitate those decisions a team lead by the Lend Lease Project Marketing Manager, the Sekisui House marketing team and joint agency, Principals created a premium brand identity together that will not only endure the life of the development but will be able to embrace new product as it comes online. “Sekisui House Australia and Lend Lease are already moving forward with the new name and identity with a marketing campaign commencing in January 2012 on the
remaining blocks in Belle Mare Beachside community. In addition to this campaign, the new Cala Luna, Beachside precinct opposite Belle Mare will feature three of the SHAWOOD Sekisui House premium homes, the first in the country”, said Mr Bolton-Hall. “We are very excited about the next phase in the development of The Coolum Residences. Our partnership with Sekisui House Australia will deliver beachside and five star resort living at its best, in home designs not yet seen in this country.” Mr Bolton-Hall said the new name, with its new look and feel, is fitting for a community that has an established reputation around Australia. “We know that ‘The Coolum Residences’ will continue to be the destination for those who choose a prestige lifestyle with the unique combination of premium beachside and five star resort living.” As part of the project re-launch the Property Centre on David Low Way has undergone an internal refurbishment. The sales floor features a new sales and information track providing prospective purchasers with details on the project offering as well information on the resort and beachside precincts at ‘The Coolum Residences’. In addition, for the first time, you can learn about the story of Sekisui House and the SHAWOOD home design, along with images and plans for the three SHAWOOD display homes due to be open for display in April 2012. The Property Sales Centre is open 7 days, 8.30am – 5.00pm and is located on David Low Way, Yaroomba.

haracterising all the key design elements they wanted in their new home, Stephen and Maree said having the sand dune to the rear of their block was a major factor they incorporated in their design to achieve optimal privacy. “We were inspired by the location and designed the house to allow as much light, outdoor vista and the sound of the ocean inside as practically possible, whilst keeping in mind our privacy and that of our neighbours,” said Stephen. With three grown up children who regularly visit, this lifestyle home easily caters to guests with separate living spaces, a dune facing outdoor entertainment area with pool and a spacious fully-kitted upstairs media room with kitchenette. “We set about to design a house that would allow flexibility of use and also make the most of the lovely outlook to the natural sand dune at the rear and a full

PROFILE
Infinite visionary C
hairman and founder, Professor Clive Palmer, of Mineralogy Pty Ltd, a privately-owned mining company he founded in 1985 that holds one of the world’s largest magnetite iron ore deposits at Cape Preston in Western Australia, has bought one of Queensland’s premier tourist attractions, Hyatt Regency Coolum Resort on the Sunshine Coast, from Lend Lease Development Pty Ltd and Sekisui House Australia.
airport making it a convenient destination for interstate and overseas visitors alike. One of the many positives about Hyatt Regency Coolum is that within 30-minutes of landing, visitors can be checked and relaxing at a world-class resort. There aren’t many places in the world that can offer that,” he smiled.
Professor Palmer said that the purchase of Hyatt Regency Coolum provided him with an opportunity to make a contribution to Queensland’s tourism sector, which has been struggling as a result of the economic downturn.
Hyatt will remain manager of the resort under its existing long term contract while Lend Lease and Sekisui House, Japan’s largest builder of premium homes, will focus on creating a world class master planned residential community at The Coolum Residences adjacent to Hyatt Regency Coolum.
“Hyatt Regency is one of the state’s leading resorts and has a rich history,’ he said.
Professor Palmer said he saw the Sunshine Coast as a worthwhile place for investment.
“Major celebrities such as Mick Jagger and U2 have been guests there, while this year the Queensland State of Origin rugby league team have held their pre-match camps at Hyatt Regency.”
“The Sunshine Coast is one of the most important tourism regions in Australia. The Japanese have been coming to this region for many years and we believe that the Sunshine Coast will become more attractive to Chinese tourists. China is the major growth economy in the world and Chinese people are travelling more often. Pristine worldclass beaches and attractions such as Australia Zoo, where Steve Irwin left a lasting legacy will always remain iconic,” he explained.
“The renowned resort championship golf course each year plays host to one of the nation’s most successful sporting events, The Australian PGA golf tournament,” he added. With plans to increase occupancy of Hyatt Regency and make it one of the best resorts in the world, Professor Palmer’s purchase has provided enormous potential in his first tourism venture. “Given its premium beachside resort amenities and close proximity to the Sunshine Coast Airport, I see ample scope to build on Hyatt Regency Coolum’s already very strong appeal.”
The Queensland Government has been moving in the right direction to boost tourist numbers but there’s more that can be done. Professor Palmer will be conducting his own private study to ways in which to increase tourism in the Sunshine Coast and remains firmly committed to the success of Hyatt Regency Coolum Resort and Hyatt Coolum residential community.

Gold Coast United
Rich List as Queensland’s wealthiest person with over $6 billion in assets, you would not be mistaken for thinking that it is all work and no play for Professor Clive Palmer. Wrong - away from the mining sector, Professor Palmer, a devoted family man, has a major investment in sport with extensive harness-racing interests and ownership of the Gold Coast United Football Club that competes in the Hyundai A-League. While training in fancy footwork, displaying great reflexes and enviable speed, Gold Coast United have taken a little time out for an equally important facet of the game – fashions on the field. The club’s suave, new-look kit now features the logo of sponsor Hyatt Regency Coolum, front-and-centre and in full colour against the gold home shirt and the white of the away strip. Aside from the rippling muscles, underlying the striking uniforms is a strategic alliance between the resort and football club. By virtue of being owned by Queensland’s richest man, and now sponsor of Gold Coast’s football team, the resort is set to enjoy the strength of association between two of the state’s most popular tourism regions. At the unveiling of the new strips, there were smiles all round at a press conference held during a Gold Coast United training camp at Hyatt Regency Coolum in August, just

prior to winning a friendly that evening against Sunshine Coast Fire. Between the mining magnate, head coach Miron Bleiberg and Hyatt Regency Coolum general manager Maurice Holland, even the bright new jerseys took a backseat to the colourful characters enjoying a laugh together. Mr Holland, whose passion for hotels, food and wine is surpassed only by a keen interest in elite sports, is a lover of golf, cricket, tennis and football in each of its glorious forms – an avid spectator and engaged supporter of all. As Gold Coast United sponsor, does the resort’s general manager now have a soft spot for the world game? With a trademark hearty laugh, Mr Holland said, “I love watching football, but it is particularly nice to see a team of finely tuned athletes running up and down the pitch in Hyatt Regency Coolum’s logo.” “This is an exciting time for the resort, with coming months and years sure to be a season for change and development as Professor Palmer’s plans for the property and its future unfold,” he said. Watch this space. It seems that the vision for Hyatt Regency Coolum has a long journey to travel and Professor Clive Palmer will see it all the way in his quest for the growth and success of Queensland tourism. n Resort Life - The Coolum Residences 13

The beauty of golf T
he Spa at Hyatt Regency Coolum has a clear philosophy and vision – to surpass guests’ expectations, and to leave them with an unforgettable five-star spa experience. “We do this by providing a unique and tranquil environment that allows guests to feel part of our relaxed, natural landscape, accompanied by memorable treatments, and the utmost professionalism in service from our staff,” explained The Spa director, Kyle LaMonica. With that said, the fact that the main attraction at Hyatt Regency Coolum is a world-famous award-winning championship golf course, is no coincidence with the addition of The Spa’s newest treatment, the Quirogolf Massage. Quirogolf Massage by Natura Bisse` is an exclusive and ground-breaking deep body massage (Whole in One) performed with golf balls using manoeuvres based on four pillars that act in synergy: relaxing, warming the muscles, treating individual sections or areas and improving all-round flexibility. Relaxing the muscles through body alignment using pressure technique whilst taking deep breaths and inhaling the aroma created exclusively for this treatment achieves complete wellbeing. “The exclusive Natura Bisse` golf balls are manipulated by gliding them using rolling kneading manoeuvres throughout the body’s muscle structure, applying either a simultaneous or an alternate rhythm in the same direction as the muscle being treated in order to stimulate, tone, nourish and strengthen and all tailored to individual client needs,” he said. The final steps to this unique and innovative massage are 14 Resort Life - The Coolum Residences
the stretching manoeuvres, which are essential to maintaining good physical condition when practicing any sport. The therapist and the client work in unison to eliminate muscle tension and improve muscle tone in the best way possible. “When Natura Bisse` said that they had a brand new treatment, developed by their team in Spain, which incorporates the use of golf balls and stretching techniques, we were sold,” Kyle said. “What a great concept to completely tie in with the resort.” “The moment I first tried this treatment, my whole body was in a state of relaxation and my mind was focused – even my limbs felt more limber,” he laughed. On top of the new Quirogolf massage, The Spa has a weekly golf stretch class. There are also personal training sessions to strengthen your core, Yoga sessions to improve flexibility and Pilates classes to help increase stamina. “Keeping your body and mind fit will improve your golf game and let’s face it – we all want to play like a Pro.” n

ESCAPE & INDULGE
The calm before the stork B
ritish author and childbirth educator Sheila Kitzinger coined the term ‘babymoon’.
Originally, it was defined as the period of time after a child’s birth that the family spends alone together to facilitate bonding between parents and baby. In recent years, the meaning of the word ‘babymoon’ has grown to include the pre-baby jaunts taken by expecting parents. Celebrity babymoons like Rachel Zoe and Roger’s highly publicised soiree` at a regal Hawaiian resort have fueled the popularity of a pre-baby relaxation getaway and created an experience not unlike a second honeymoon. With the imminent arrival of your bundle-of-joy, the idea of an indulgent escape to a luxurious resort would be high on the wish list of each and every expectant couple - celebrity or not. Well, the good news is you can! Allow yourselves to reconnect in luxury surroundings before the arrival of a new baby by taking advantage of Hyatt Regency Coolum’s Babymoon package.

fun in the sun S
ummer is the busiest holiday period at Hyatt Regency Coolum with up to 350 children out-and-about making the most of the weather and facilities.
soccer, cricket, AFL, canoeing and a competition grade croquet field with scheduled sessions and equipment available for casual use.
“Many of our guests at this time of the year are regulars with lots of familiar faces including interstate and overseas visitors returning and eager to participate in our extensive holiday activities program,” activities manager Grant Atkins said.
Not to be missed on the holiday program is the thrill of a bike ride around the lush tropical gardens on one of the brand new fleet of over 400 bikes including adult cruiser styles, BMX and children’s bikes with trainer wheels - baby seats are available as required and bicycle hire available daily.
“Our activities schedule aims to keep guests of all ages busy from 7.30am-10.00pm at night and we have a wide variety on offer including creative craft workshops for adults and children, sports, after-dark events, Camp Hyatt children’s parties and informative tours with a Sunshine Coast flavour,” he added.
“There is so much to do and see at Camp Hyatt during the holiday period that there isn’t much time for relaxation during the day,” laughed Grant.
The Sunshine Coast’s climate lends itself to water, so as the main theme, based around the resort’s 9 pools and pristine fully patrolled beach, there is so many activities to keep everyone cool this summer. Ever prepared for a Queensland summer also means plenty of indoor activities should the ‘heavens’ open. Remotecontrolled dune buggy rallies, movie matinee’s, video games lounge happy hour, inflatable twister tournaments, family pictionary, bingo and trivia sessions, indoor sports including soccer, cricket, volleyball, table tennis, soft hockey and more make for a seriously ‘good time’ - whatever the weather. Family time can be spent in many different ways including a selection of craft workshops that takes in wooden feature item decoration, scrapbooking, plaster figurine painting, kite making and shell art. Family sport sessions are supervised and modified to cater for all ages and include archery (8yr+), 18 Resort Life - The Coolum Residences
“Relaxation comes in the form of ‘Family Pizza and Movie Night’ - all of the pizza that you can eat plus the latest release family movie or ‘Dive-in Movies’, where the kids can float in the pool on rings whilst parents can pull up a poolside lounge and dine the night away.” There are also plenty of informative tours and activities for nature lovers including the breathtaking guided Mount Coolum walk, botanical tours, worm farm tours, back-ofhouse tours, bird watching and wildlife walkabouts. With so much activity and goings-on around Camp Hyatt, ‘fun in the sun’ is a must at Hyatt Regency Coolum this holiday season.n

EVENT
Feel the heat W
ith its world-class facilities and inspirational setting, Hyatt Regency Coolum is the Sunshine Coast’s premier destination for meetings and events. It offers dozens of indoor and outdoor venue options catering for up to 1200 people - anything from a small team-building event to a major international conference.
“They come alive instantly,” he added.
Located just 10 minutes from the airport, the resort now has its own fleet of vehicles and provides complimentary transfers for groups.
“Our job is to find a stand-out winner, which might be easy or quite difficult depending on the group,” said Gareth.
Always evolving, the exciting new activity ‘Hyatt Chef’, is a chance to put your group to a pressure test and take them from the frying pan and into the fire, all in the name of fun! Hyatt Regency Coolum has served up this challenge for corporate groups and conferences, testing delegates to see who can take the heat in the kitchen. The aim of this innovative new challenge adds flavour and adrenaline to a conference program like no other, uncovering participants’ kitchen skills whilst rewarding their taste buds. Starting the event with a formal dinner, served in one of the resort’s venues where a secret kitchen has been hidden from guests’ view - the challenge begins. After an initial two courses prepared by the resort’s talented chefs including executive chef Jan Van Dyk, the ‘Hyatt Chef’ kitchen is revealed to guests and the pressure test begins. “I love watching their faces as the kitchen is revealed,” smiled Jan Van Dyk. “Refined dinner guests turn into boisterous, flamboyant cook-off contestants within seconds, particularly the ones who really enjoy cooking.”
Participants are divided into teams and charged with preparing the evenings’ dessert. Backed by technology and communications with props, the groups strive to prepare the best dish before being judged by a panel including Jan and Eliza’s chef de cuisine, Gareth Collins.
“Ultimately the room is full of colleagues turned amateur cooks having a great time which usually means a few flops, occasionally a surprising beauty of a dish, but always a lot of fun.” Perfect for groups from 50-100 people, the ‘Hyatt Chef’ is priced from just $140 per person. Alternative conference packages available at Hyatt Regency Coolum include King Room accommodation, daily continental breakfasts and access to The Spa and gym for every delegate for $220 per room per night. Plus, conference organisers can receive additional credit to spend at the resort - $25 per room, per night, to a maximum of $5,000. n
The resort’s conference offer is valid for bookings of 40 or more rooms, for stays Sunday to Wednesday inclusive until June 30, 2012, subject to availability and conditions.

Ardleigh with works from local artist Leigh Karen Joyce
A
rdleigh Cleveland Gallery boasts an eclectic mix of arts and crafts including one-off pieces by leading local, national and international artists. Sitting in the lush surroundings, this stunning gallery space at the Creative Arts Centre is a visit not to be missed on your stay at the resort this summer.
both artists are inspired by their love of nature, Lin’s work has an environmental focus.
Local artist Leigh Karen Joyce will be exhibiting her work paintings that remind us of childhood joy, romance and love. Leigh’s work has a naivety, as seen through the eyes of a child where animals are paramount - exotic birds in lush trees, ants, lady beetles and a world of dogs and cats are etched into the canvas.
Ardleigh has painstakingly selected two of Lin’s photographic images from the FLOW series for digital printing onto silk. The FLOW series of photography was derived from her fascination by the ever-changing nature of water flowing in coastal streams around her hometown.
“Leigh uses bold colours and detailed etching to create paintings that are certain to make you smile, drawing inspiration for her love of children and animals - they are very unique and collected by families from Europe and the U.S to treasure in their homes,” Ardleigh said. With many exciting new happenings in and around the gallery space, Ardleigh is most excited by her recent collaboration with local photographer and writer Lin Martin whose qualifications include a degree in Biology, Photography and a Masters of Philosophy in Environmental Science. When Lin Martin was invited to exhibit at the gallery in 2008 and again in 2009 - an unrecognised link began. Now some years later, Ardleigh and Lin are collaborating to present a range of casually elegant resort wear. Ardleigh’s strong background in textile and design skills and ability to reflect a strong art form juxtaposed with Lin’s creative photographic images are sure to make for interesting textile design pieces.

“I spend a lot of time poking around our still remaining wild places, my practice is heavily influenced by my scientific background and by my Buddhist studies,” Lin said.
“Season by season, moment by moment, the play of light on the water as it moves ever onward to the sea creates abstracts of shifting patterns and kaleidoscope colours.” Ardleigh summed up the duos first creative textile collaboration by saying, “Lin expresses a creative sensitivity that is incomparable.” “Her photographic images are of exceptional quality, which combined with her insight and skill make compelling works of art when printed on these silks.” The first garments will be in the gallery just in time to celebrate the incoming New Year. n

Coolum dreaming ‘C
alifornia Dreamin’ - If all the leaves are brown and the sky is mostly grey in your neck of the woods as the Mama’s & the Papa’s observed whilst penning that famous song in a dreary flat in New York circa 1965 - clearly wishing they were on sunny shores - then ‘The Coolum Residences’ will wake you up to a brighter future on the Sunshine Coast. Cala Luna is the latest precinct to be launched at Beachside. Like all precincts in Beachside, Cala Luna has been named after a famous Argentinean beach and means ‘Moon Bay’. First impression - it may seem like an image you will find on a postcard - but at ‘The Coolum Residences’, it’s most definitely ‘home’. Only 20 kilometres from both Noosa and Maroochydore, you’ll find yourself in prime position to enjoy the best of what the region has to offer - without losing any of the serenity that makes ‘The Coolum Residences’ so alluring. Fully secured with a gated precinct, Cala Luna gives its residents exclusive access to a wide range of recreational

facilities - including a pool and tennis court, a playground for the kids and plenty of park and BBQ facilities - all just minutes away from the beach. In testament to its surrounding natural beauty including breath-taking views of Mount Coolum, all of Cala Luna’s homes are environmentally sustainable SHAWOOD homes, constructed by the innovative Sekisui House. When you purchase one of the SHAWOOD home designs in Cala Luna, you’ll also be contributing to preserving your beautiful surroundings for generations to come. These are homes that synthesise modern design with forwardthinking environmental sensibility, both in construction of the house and land itself – whilst leaving you with a clear environmental conscience. Key benefits include, environmental sustainability, economical efficiency, engineering excellence and innovative design. Setting a new benchmark in home building, the SHAWOOD homes signal an exciting new chapter in homebuilding in Australia. Every home is built using a unique, prefabricated steel joint system - which

means that each and every level maintains a certain unmatched quality and stands a cut-above the rest of the new builds in the current Australian market. The SHAWOOD homes are a product of collaboration between Australian architects and Japanese designers. Under the principles of Smart Universal Design, everything in the home has its place and its purpose - crafted to adapt to the needs of you and your family over time. Even the landscape around the home has been integrated to enhance the design of the houses themselves - as well as the wider community. This is known as ‘N x Yutaka’, and is just an example of how the positive influence of a SHAWOOD home goes beyond its four walls. With a light and bright interior and seamless indoor flow, as well as a double-skin wall vent system perfectly suited to the Sunshine Coast’s sub-tropical climate, these homes benefit and highlight all of the benefits of life in this beachside paradise. Home sizes range between 300m2 and 450m2; with each design perfectly complementing your surroundings and the Cala Luna precinct now has three of these magnificent homes currently being built by ‘The Coolum Residences’ owner, Sekisui House Australia for display to be ready for opening April 2012. The first design, Lot 424 ‘Urban’, centres on a conceptual experience of visual connections and direct link to the courtyards and gardens, particularly the outdoor room and swimming pool featuring a detached multi-purpose pavilion. Various sizes of landscaped garden intertwine with the building to form outdoor circulation zones and recreational space.
If chilling-out is more your style, enter Lot 425 ‘Relaxed’, with its landscaped gardens and outdoor living spaces intricately interwoven with the interior rooms to create a constantly evolving spatial experience. The landscaping ‘keys in’ to the living and sleeping zones of the house, enabling privacy through separation. Natural light and ventilation can be maximized throughout the thin layers of space while the entry is characterised by a journey along a breezeway and traverses alongside the pool into the very heart of the house - the outdoor room. Lot 426 ‘Natural’ is an elegantly simple ‘L’ shape plan, characterised by two generous gardens. The first garden is an entry courtyard filled with useable recreation space that is completed by a featured double height outdoor room. The second, an expanse of garden that spills out from the main living room is a perfect place for play or gardening, with a vista to Mount Coolum. A separation is created zonally between levels, with quiet sleeping and study areas upstairs and living areas downstairs. Cala Luna brings to you the beauty of the environment while giving you a lifestyle that only dreams are made of Coolum Dreaming! n
