She has recently been enjoying success on the small screen working alongside her real-life daughter Margaret Qualley in the hit Netflix series Maid

Yeah, it was all so much fun and I doubt I’ll ever have that much fun again. I know that’s terrible thing to say but I’m actually okay with it. I really am.

Maid has been a massive hit on Netflix. What was it about this particular project that you were drawn to?

IT WAS NEARLY 40 years ago that Andie MacDowell made her big screen debut in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes

I understand that disease really well, because I’ve had some deep first-hand experiences with it.

This world, this job is so hard. It’s so hard to get cast. And I’m 64, I’m not a baby.

But I’m satisfied. I really am. I’m so satisfied from this gift that was given to me.

WORDS JENNY DAVIS / THE INTERVIEW PEOPLE

It’s interesting because my only concern about my character is that people don’t understand the complexity of what it is to be manic depressive/bipolar.IthinkIworried that people would misinterpret it or her sexuality, to just think that she was a very needy woman that always wanted to be seen as sexy – but that’s the illness.

Andie>>

Since then, she has starred in many classic movies including Groundhog Day, Short Cuts and, of course, Four Weddings and a Funeral

When I was really young, I came from a small town and my mother took me to a play.

How did you first start acting?

So I was trying to like figure out, you know, how do you get me there?

But then I got Sex, Lies and Videotape, and that was a paradigm for me because I think it changed everybody’s mind.

Let’s talk about Four Weddings and a Funeral Everything Richard Curtis has done has a very unique feeling, his sense of humour and the way he writes his characters in his dialogue.

I would just sit and run my lines all day long because I didn’t have anything else to do.

And that actually fit into my character because it made me feel kind of crazy. The density of everything, it was just intense.

So before Sex, Lies and Videotape I was questionable for sure, but afterwards, it changed.

But for the rest of the time, for eight months or whatever, seven months, I was alone.

It was such a poor town that I came from so it was a unique situation, but that really touched my Andheart.then when I went to college and started doing theatre, then I ended up modelling in New York and taking classes.

I don’t know how much it made but for the longest time, it was the number one British movie and it pulled in a lot of money.

That was the only time I was around people.

When I was in high school, I had gone to a facility that worked with children with disabilities.

I think it was made for $7 million.

Was there a moment where you thought, ‘oh, this actually could become something’?

My mother was a teacher, all three of my sisters got their degree as teachers and taught, so I thought I was going go into special education.

Then you become a commodity, you know, truly you’re seen as someone who’s valuable.

Because that’s what everybody wants, they want to be well-received critically and they want to make money … and it made a lot of money.

That’s when I realised that adults played make believe and I was thought to myself, ‘That’s me, that’s my favourite game. I can’t believe that adults get to play make believe’. [laughs]

I’m just very fortunate that it worked out because it’s hard to make it.

How did you shake off your character at the end of each day?

I did theatre when I was in school, ended up living in New York and started taking classes andSoauditioning.that’stheshort version of what happened.

There was a moment when I thought it wasn’t going to happen.

I was fortunate that I had time off to take care of myself.Ithink the hardest part was the loneliness because it was during COVID.

So always wanted to be an actress?

And I remember, when I did it, I had turned down something that was going to pay me a lot and my business manager stupidly asked me, ‘Why are you doing this movie for no money when you could have done that?’

I love that sort of British humour and the romance added to it just makes it that much more special.

It was a huge hit, a gigantic hit

I spent Christmas by myself … it’s weird … all by myself. I spent most of the time by myself, except for when I would go to work.

And then I kind of connected it watching TV, I was like, ‘So that’s what they’re doing. All these people playing make believe. That’s what I want to do’.Istarted talking to my parents about it and my dad knew someone from my town who had married someone that was a soap star but that was his only connection.

That’s what I ‘wanted’ to be, I just didn’t know I could be it, I didn’t think it was realistic.

It was right before I did Sex, Lies and Videotape and I felt like I was struggling so hard. I felt like I wasn’t going to make it.

When you are in a movie that is critically wellreceived and makes money, that’s it, that’s the gold mine, it really is.

I guess that’s what I’m most surprised about.

I want to get a horse.

I grew up in a town of like 5,000 people. I was probably the last person anybody expected to be in this position.

And it was that script. I mean, it was just perfect.

I am very conscious of my privilege, that’s why I continue to work and work hard because I want to give back mostly to my kids and hopefully, the world too because I know how fortunate I am to have such a great job.

I hate to use that word but there is a good part of it that I feel lucky.

I think it’s all a surprise, really it is.

You don’t have to take on anything hard or difficult or uncomfortable, it truly is joyful work.

So I’m just going to keep plugging along because I am lucky, you know.

And I’m happy that I was in this moment where romantic comedies were doing really well because I enjoy them and also they’re fun to work on.

I think my character was kind of hard to play because she was aloof and she didn’t choose the most charming man in the world.

And you have to make those choices, you have to be able to tell if something’s good or not.

When you look back at the trajectory of your career, is there anything that surprises you the most?

When you are not acting or in between jobs, how do you spend your time?

And I said, ‘because it’s fantastic’.

I hike a lot. I love to walk in nature, it gets me out of my head, and I love to exercise, so the combination is perfect for me.

I love creating, I love the art form, but I also feel privileged to have this job.

Not many people are in my position to be able to work, you know, there are actors that don’t get the jobs, right, and I can still get good jobs.

I haven’t had a horse in a while and I really want to get that back into my life, because I’ve been missing it.

“I love creating, I love the art form, but I also feel privileged to have this job.”

I do yoga. I love to cook. I love to cook healthy food. I love to eat healthy.

These days you will find the Master Illusionist much closer to home, performing regular Friday

In fact, it was a family member who inspired Matt’s initial interest in the world of magic when he was just a young boy.

“I’ve been very fortunate to play for some very high-profile guests such as Nicole Kidman, Robbie Williams, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Pamela Anderson and Gordon Ramsay, as well as a host of presidents, royals and public figures all around the globe,” he says.

“He would get a table and he would float it in the air.

“Sometimesacts.Iwould do eight flights a day and for three years I was Virgin Australia’s highest frequent flyer which resulted in me being their first ever Platinum member,” Matt recalls.

That fun included playing shows for everyone from princes to prime ministers.

“That’s the main reason I’ve based myself at Sanctuary Cove, to be close to my family.”

“I was doing gala dinners, business conferences, birthday parties, TV appearances, whatever came my way

and Saturday night shows at the Village Theatre Sanctuary Cove and savouring the time he gets to spend with his precious loved ones.

WORDS RHONDA OXNAM

“I might do a morning TV appearance in Melbourne, then a corporate booking in Sydney, back to Melbourne for a business lunch and then up to the Gold Coast for an evening show.

In the early days, Matt was taking up to 400 flights a year, crisscrossing the country and building a reputation as one of Australia’s most popular magic

Master Illusionist Matt thebrandbringsHollywoodhisspecialofmagictoGoldCoast.

MATTMAGIC

Known for his grand illusions, he has been named Australian Entertainer of the Year and International Merlin Illusionist of the Year, however, the road to success has not always been easy.

“Someone told me a long time ago to ‘pack small, play big’, so I learnt to do that very well and that’s what gave me the ability to do the shows in quick succession.

CITY ICON

“From travelling so much around the country, I realised the value of family,” he admits.

“While I still love performing, what matters most for me now is not money, it’s time … time with my kids, time with my partner, time with my friends.

WITH A CAREER than spans many continents and several decades, Master Illusionist Matt Hollywood is one of the Gold Coast’s most recognisable personalities.

“My great grandfather was a well-known magician back in the 1910’s and 1920s,” Matt“Whenexplains.Iwas around 10-years-old he showed me my first magic trick ever and it was amazing, I’ll never forget it.

“And for a long time I did a lot of television, from The Footy Show through to Rove, which set up my profile, so from there I cruised along and had fun.”

While that levitating table is still incorporated into every show, over the years Matt’s illusions have got bigger and bigger, and more and more dangerous.“Asamagician, the sky’s the limit, because you only have to think of something that may seem impossible and then figure out how to make it work.

“We change the illusions around every three to four months, with all the big Las Vegas effects, and because of that people come back again and again and again.

“And he made me promise that if I ever became a magician, I would do this trick.

Issue 92 – covemagazine.com.au 27Issue 92 – covemagazine.com.au 27

“So even though he’s not here anymore, I always include it because I strongly believe that if you say you are going to do something in life, it’s important to always keep your word.”

“But you have to keep lifting your game, it’s got to get bigger, it’s got to get scarier, it’s got to get more dangerous, more on the edge,” Matt explains.

As the only full-time magic show in Australia, Matt welcomes guests to The Village Theatre every Friday and Saturday night.

“I have a trick where I get locked, shackled and chained inside a trap with blades that are set on “I’vefire.got 30 seconds to escape before the rope burns through, and releases one of the blades which would result in absolute disaster.

“We do these big grand illusions and the audience is just ‘WOW’ but they are also laughing throughout the whole show, so they come out and they feel good because they have had such a great“Magictime.isthe ability to achieve the impossible, and a lot of people don’t realise that if you just add a bit of magic into your life and do something a bit different, it can have such a positive effect.”

“That trick is actually death defying because it is dangerous in every single way so at every performance, I have paramedics on standby should anything happen.”

“It’s amazing, every show is different because of what the audience do (or what they forget to do),” Matt says.

“We start at 6.30pm so it’s not too late for the kids and often the younger audience members become the stars of the show too, whether we make one of them disappear or play some crazy tricks with them.

HOW MUCH MUSCLE WILL YOU LOSE ON HOLIDAY?

According to the State of the Nation report by Roy Morgan in 2019 focussing on Tourism; the average Australian overseas holiday is 21.6 days which, is not a long time to abstain from training.

HOW MUCH BODY FAT WILL YOU GAIN ON HOLIDAY?

‘Totally immobilise’ – now I am lazy on holiday, but I am not totally immobile.

This is a particular worry for those of you who are on a weight loss journey.

When I have a client who is relatively new to exercise, any movement helps them to get stronger – not just their gym workouts – and we make sure we focus on maximising other forms of movement.It’sthesame when you are on holiday … plus you just don’t lose that much muscle in 21 days.

Added to that, another study in the Journal of Sport Sciences found that over a 16 week period, beginners who completely ceased training only lost 5% muscle and 22% strength.

The answer is really straightforward.

When you are on holiday, you will have moments of complete rest, but you will also still continue to move – maybe more than when you are pinned to the desk in the office.

However, just because you aren’t in the gym, it doesn’t mean you aren’t preserving or continuing to build muscle.

You can build muscle by doing all sorts of activities like walking, hiking, surfing, jet skiing, horse riding, even the occasional dip in the resort pool – it’s not just about being in the gym.

TAKE A BREAK

So how will you stay fit on holiday and manage to enjoy yourself?

WORDS ADAM BERRY

You do not have to worry about it.

Dr. Michael Sempf is a leading Gold Coast dentist with advanced training and experience in dental implant therapy.

I come bearing good news here as well.

Keeping your muscle mass up is important, and if you can get one workout in a week on holiday you will see no noticeable changes as long as you get back on track when you return.

Maintaining your fitness while on holiday is not as difficult as you think.

The hotel has a fitness centre – but you don’t want to be ‘that’ person.

OUT OF OFFICE is on … suitcase is packed … dog is with the neighbour … passport is by the front door … you’re off on your holiday and you cannot

A study by Manchester Metropolitan University found that if you totally immobilise someone, they lose only 5-10% of muscle mass in 10-21 days.

Also, in terms of diet, keep the protein up to preserve your muscle mass but don’t fret it too much.

The study also suggests that if you keep the protein high, then the impact of fat gain is smaller.Andifyou eat more, you also move more – so that will help keep things in check as well.

It also found that the net gain of 61% of participants who put on weight on a holiday between one to three weeks was 300g and the average weight gain was 400g.

To conclude, your holiday doesn’t impact your fitness as much as you think it does.

According to research, in order to gain one kilogram of body weight you need to eat an extra 1,000 kcals a day over your maintenance level. That 7,000 extra calories a week is the same as 12 Big Macs or 50 cans of soda.

Half of each kilogram is body fat and half is water, therefore to gain one kilogram of body fat you need to eat double that amount … 2,000 extra kcals a day. Which is a lot.

You should enjoy your holiday period – because that is the point of a holiday – then when you get home, just slip back into your routine and the significance on your fitness will be inconsequential.

You can literally have your cake and eat it too and I think that’s pretty epic.

The main cause and effect in place here is that you think a holiday is having a greater impact on your fitness than it really is – and that leads to a lack of motivation to get back on track when your break is over.

Now I’m off to the travel agent …

You don’t need to stay fit while on vacation –because you don’t lose fitness when you're there.

The key part to this study is that is also showed ‘a decrease in physical activity in the weeks following vacation’.

We were heading to Lomani Island Resort on Malolo Lailai Island in the Mamanuca Islands, and we were in no way prepared for the beauty and hospitality that was awaiting us.

The resort is perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation with daybeds, sunlounges and hammocks scattered throughout the beautifully kept grounds, on the beach and by the pool.

This time it was our turn and a short 3-hour flight from Brisbane with Fiji Airways got us on our way.

It was obvious the chef knew exactly how to highlight their best ingredients.

We spent our first afternoon sipping cool drinks and swimming on Cloud 9, Fiji’s floating bar.

Candlelit dining on the beach, your private waiter and the ocean lapping the sand beside you is as close to a perfect evening as I think you can get.

The night we spent on the back deck of our bure was one of our pinch-yourself moments.

The staff were so incredibly welcoming and generous, it was obvious they enjoyed their work, making for an enjoyable guest experience.

There were two yellow pushbikes parked out the front of our bure, ready for our island exploring and it was great to see these being used by so many other couples on the island.

The food was beautifully presented, fresh and locally sourced, and we definitely felt we were able to enjoy the true tastes of Fiji.

After our afternoon of sun and fun, we were in full holiday mode and keen to see our accommodation.

Gardens separate the bures and the back deck is the perfect, private spot to watch the sunset, enjoy a coffee in the morning or sunbake during the day.

The music was pumping and the pizza oven was firing, it was a great spot to relax away a few hours.

When it comes to dining this was the perfect holiday experience.

I hadn’t heard of Fijian-Indian curries but I’m now recommending them to everyone and I could eat Fijian Kokoda, the national dish of Fiji, every day of the week.

Private dining experiences were organised while we were holidaying and they were very special.

If diving has been on your bucket list, courses for all levels and certification can be completed with a PADI instructor while on your holiday.

Bright pinks, red, yellow and orange fill the sky at night and there are so many ways to enjoy this special time of the day at Lomani – a sunset cruise, sitting by the bar, relaxing on the beach or chilling in your own backyard.

This was a great way to see to the many islands and had us to the airport in around 25 minutes.

By the time it came to leave we felt we had a resort full of friends.

Not only was the food amazing, it was wonderful how social the dining experience was.

For hubby and I, these few days at Lomani Island Resort were the perfect break to have some fun, reconnect and rejuvenate and we can’t wait to explore Fiji further.

We relaxed with our new friends on beanbags with drinks and canapes while our Fijian friend played the guitar and continued singing as the sun went down.

For the more adventurous, some of the best surf breaks in the world are just a 20-minute boat ride from the resort and there are 44 scuba diving sites to explore throughout the Mamanuca Islands.

The sunsets in Fiji are spectacular.

The back deck leads onto a huge grassed yard that spills straight down to the beach.

The natural beauty of the island has been captured perfectly in the accommodation and surrounds.

Ensuring we could indulge in as much island time as possible was easy with an airstrip on the island, allowing us a quick transfer back to the mainland with Joyce Aviation.

The beachfront bures are very large, with a king bed and lounge area, huge bathroom and private outdoor shower.

There was live music each night, a wonderful duo with their guitars, taking requests and keeping guests in the open-air restaurant for hours after they’d finished their meals.

BGM Family Lawyers are on hand to sort fact from fiction when it comes to family law matters.

If you need to transfer significant items of property after separation, get advice about whether consent should be sought first.

MYTH BUSTERS

Not only is this myth false – but taking steps like this in an attempt to 'defeat' a property settlement claim by a partner could have negative consequences.

MYTH 1: WHEN A COUPLE SEPARATES, EACH PERSON AUTOMATICALLY GETS HALF THE ASSETS.

An inheritance which you haven’t received is not yet your ‘property’, so it can’t be divided.

If you are listed as a beneficiary in a relative’s will, but that relative still has the capacity to change their will, your inheritance isn’t guaranteed, and it will likely be ignored in any property settlement.

FAMILY LAW is complex, as no two cases are the same, however, that doesn’t stop countless myths from circulating at barbeques everywhere.

MYTH 4: FUTURE INHERITANCES CAN BE DIVIDED IN A PROPERTY SETTLEMENT.

From who gets what after a separation to what constitutes a de facto relationship, these myths can add confusion to what is already an emotional time – so it’s important to set the record straight.

The Family Law Act defines a de facto relationship as one between two people who’ve been living together on a ‘genuine domestic basis’.

But interest rates are only one factor in a much bigger picture when it comes to assessing the health of the property market, now and in the long term.

Households have saved an average of 17.2% of income since the pandemic started, according to the national accounts released in December, which amounts to a whopping $260 billion in savings.

Spring Selling Guide

Key August Results

Rising interest rates and inflation have been grabbing media headlines for months, fuelling some fear among those who have not lived through these cycles in the past.

Cash to Splash

Right now, anyone who wants a job has a job, which means few people are going to stop paying their mortgages.

One of the upsides of the Covid pandemic for many Australians has been two years of enforced savings due to the lack of opportunity to spend money.

The number one indicator of mortgage stress is whether you have a job that enables you to pay your home loan.

Unemployment in Australia is at its lowest in almost 50 years, wages are rising and a skills shortage is driving pay increases across many industries.

As the Treasurer at the time Josh Frydenberg summed it up, that’s “a damn lot of money” – and people are now spending it.

As the Spring selling season kicks off, Kollosche Managing Director and Selling Principal Michael Kollosche offers a big-picture perspective on the key factors impacting the market.

Coming into Spring this year, there is a raft of factors at play that make it an interesting time for those who are considering bringing their property to market.

The other factor set to impact Gold Coast property sales in Spring is the relationship between supply and demand.

The supply of prestige property remains low on the Gold Coast and the demand is there for good quality stock in key locations.

pring has long been regarded as the peak selling season for real estate across the country. The coldest days of the year are behind us meaning sellers and buyers are generally more motivated to take action on moving house.

All that being said, both sellers and buyers need to act with realistic expectations and a willingness to negotiate to reach a deal in this evolving market.

New Zealand buyers visiting Melbourne on business flew to the Gold Coast specifically to inspect 2216 Arnold Palmer Drive, Sanctuary Cove, and liked what they saw. An unconditional offer of $5,760,000 was made within an hour of inspecting the Joe Adsett design with marketing agent William Sarti.

Kollosche is working with high-net-worth individuals at the top end of town who have a lot of capital to deploy and they’re looking for opportunities to acquire new assets.

Attention to Detail

Her expert use of layering and texture introduced through the furnishings bring depth and warmth to the home’s spacious bedrooms and living areas.

rand plans to build a home that is a cut above are realised with this doublestorey waterfront property occupying a prime position in Broadbeach Waters.

Curved concrete walls and plenty of plants soften the main living spaces, while oak timber chevron flooring adds visual interest to the vast floor spaces. All four ensuite bedrooms feature fully tiled showers, again with curved walls.

The Beverley was constructed by Live Build and designed by Michael Smekel of SMEK Design, with Guech, who has a background in fashion, lending a close creative eye.

Guech says her passion for interiors means she is always on the hunt for statement pieces, and there are plenty of them in this property, such as the multi-tiered chandelier from Coco Republic that crowns the soaring 6m entryway.

“It was the first thing I bought for the house,” says Guech. “All the others I had seen looked too mid-century. This was the only modern one I could find.”

It’s not often you find a house that has it all, but The Beverley in Broadbeach Waters boasts position, style, form and function – and an epic central courtyard bar.

“The way the sun glistens on the water, it’s such a spectacular view,” says owner Guech Venville. “You could sit and watch it for Securinghours.”such a well-positioned block in this popular coastal suburb is not easy, with prime lots fiercely contested.

“There are blocks that have position and those that have aspect but finding one that has both is the ultimate prize, but competition for them is fierce,” says Guech.

The newly built residence has come to market through Michael Kollosche and Jay Helprin and will be auctioned on 16 SittingSeptember.onanear-point position canal-front block, which has been elevated and faces north to water in the prestigious ‘Golden Triangle’, the home’s location and aspect offer privacy and views of the city skyline along the canal.

Sleek fittings and fixtures such as the brass door handles and tapware, bespoke lighting, and hand-made chandeliers in the dressing room in the master bedroom, bring a luxury hotel-style feel to the home.

The industrial-style facade and pristinely set-out tropical gardens of 6 Beverley Crescent are a simple prelude to the elevated level of luxury and attention to detail that can be found behind its oversized, fluted-glass-fronted door.

The Beverley, 6 Beverley Crescent, Broadbeach Waters, goes to auction on 16 September at 12pm. Contact Michael Kollosche on 04111 888 15 or Jay Helprin on 0407 894 775.

“It could have been another living space or bedroom, but the courtyard opens the house up and allows a clear line of sight through to the waterfront.”

The outdoor areas of The Beverley are just as inviting as the indoor spaces, where a magnesium pool with a built-in daybed overlooking the water is the perfect place to cool off on a hot summer’s day. Water enthusiasts can moor their boat on the pontoon and there is also a secure boat shed with storage beneath the house.

“Having to spend more time at home since Covid, I really wanted a space that had the feel of a luxury holiday resort; a space where my family would be happy to be if we were plunged back into lockdown,” says Guech.

The showstopper feature of this home, however, has to be the central courtyard flanked by double-height glass and louvred windows that allow light to pour into the property. Easily accommodating up to 150 people, it is an ideal entertaining space, with a concrete bar, which was poured onsite in “a marvel of engineering”, taking centre stage.

“The width of the block allowed the courtyard to be included in the design,” says Guech.

The Strategies

Team Harrison includes Business Manager Stacey Harfield, who was recently named Client Service Manager of the Year at the Kollosche Annual Awards. Stacey keeps the vendor informed at every step and manages all aspects of marketing, administration and compliance.

“As an agent, you can sit back and wait for buyers to come along hoping for a great result, however, we prefer to actively seek out qualified buyers by implementing marketing strategies that align to the target audience of the property.”

Zac are extremely clear on their roles which allows me to focus on our clients, work with prospective buyers, mitigate any risks or roadblocks, and negotiate the best deal.”

Bespoke strategies start with the buyer in mind, are based on real-time data analysis, and provide the vendor with a clear roadmap that outlines the approach each step of the way.

“I’ve got a whole team behind me executing the strategy to the level required to deliver the best possible outcome for the client,” says “StaceyJamie.and

Since joining Team Harrison a year ago, Sales Associate Zac Palmer has proven himself a determined and empathic operator who supports Jamie by following up each and every enquiry, assisting at open homes, and facilitating the sales process.

“The risk for our client in taking a cookiecutter approach was to only attract buyers who were searching in Benowa Waters at a much lower price point,” says Jamie.

Jamie Harrison and his team have carved a reputation for bespoke marketing strategies for prestige properties that sit outside of the regular real estate box.

This year’s record-breaking sale of The Lakehouse in Benowa Waters is an excellent example.

Jamie Harrison and his team design bespoke marketing solutions for those prestige property asset owners seeking a whole lot more than a signboard, an online listing and a sold sticker.

Professional Service

“Rather than rely on hope as a strategy, our team identifies the buyer profile from the outset and designs a strategy to draw those buyers to the property,” says Jamie.

Jamie and his team were engaged to market the one-of-a-kind designer new build in a suburb where the average house price is $1,450,000. A strategic approach secured an offer of $6,335,000 just two weeks into a four-week auction campaign.

“We designed a strategy that made sure this property was highly visible to $5,000,000-plus buyers to achieve a suburb record that exceeded even our client’s expectations.”

The Innovation

Jamie received a slew of accolades at the Kollosche Annual Awards in August for his advertising presence on REA, Domain and the Kollosche Cove Magazine, as well as being named one of the top investors with marketing arm K Media Group.

“I work with a lot of repeat clients, and those relationships are built on trust and credibility,” says Jamie. “I’m honest with my advice on the market and what is achievable.

“People appreciate service and advice, but it’s also those results they keep coming back for.”

Stacey Harfield, Business Manager 0432 308 365 | stacey@kollosche.com.au

“We spend a lot of time understanding who the likely buyer will be and use those demographics as the basis for a digital strategy that puts us in front of the right buyers,” says Jamie.

“We proactively review the data which allows us to pivot during a campaign as needed without losing any time or traction. As the market restabilises, the cost to the seller if marketed incorrectly could be as high as 20-30% of the sale price. We simply don’t take that chance.”

“Our goal isn’t just to sell your house, the things we do differently get a property in front of those extra 20% of buyers to achieve the highest possible price in any market.

Despite 11 new projects launching during the March quarter, data continues to highlight the ongoing shortage of new apartments coming to market or making it out of the ground at all.

off-the-plan projects game has never been for those with a faint heart or shallow pockets, even the most seasoned developers could be forgiven for baulking at the rollercoaster ride that played out during an unprecedented chapter in Australian real estate history.

“It’s been quite a journey to get here, but the original building on the site is ready to come down and Descon is locked and ready to begin construction on Aspire,” says Glenn.

Data compiled by property consultancy Urbis shows new apartment sales hit an all-time high on the Gold Coast in 2021 – a record 2,492 new apartments sold across the year, easily eclipsing the 2015 record of 1,556 sales.

Only 411 new apartments remained for sale at the end of March this year – the lowest number recorded by Urbis since it began monitoring the new apartment market in 2014.

All Go On Aspire

Demolition is scheduled to move ahead this month at 9 Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise, where approval is in place for the 24-level Aspire, comprising 37 half and fullfloor luxury apartments plus one penthouse.

By Janelle Estreich

Glenn Reindel, of Garfield Developments, says a combination of factors put Aspire in a positive position as the project progresses towards construction.

At a time when the development sector is facing a raft of challenges, the developer behind Aspire Gold Coast explains why their project is moving full steam ahead.

Record-high demand was met by record-low supply, creating the most acute shortage of new apartments experienced on the Gold Coast.

From the highs of last year’s sell-out success, the construction industry was hit by soaring costs, supply chain issues and labour shortages with a major flow-on effect to new developments.

Garfield Developments has secured builder Descon Group Australia to complete a 22-month construction program following an eight-week demolition phase.

Confidence Drives Progress

While some developers have withdrawn their projects from the market, others are seizing the opportunity and breaking ground on new developments along the Coastline.

The entire Northcliffe strip is undergoing a major revitalisation including a string of new developments and the newly refurbished Northcliffe Surf Lifesaving Club.

“It’s a significant milestone to have this project now moving into demolition, giving buyers the confidence and certainty they need to buy off the plan.”

“Aspire will be the first tower finished within the Northcliffe beachfront precinct and the fit-out is second to none,” says Glenn.

“Absolute beachfront apartments will not only hold their value but increase over time.”

Those wanting to get a first-hand look and feel of the finishes and facilities planned for Aspire are invited to visit the display suite, now open on the ground floor of Oracle at 4 Charles Avenue, Broadbeach.

“One of the major selling points is that Aspire is a residents-only building. There is no holiday letting or AirBnb, the quality is high, the amenities support lifestyle living, so it ticks all of the big boxes.

According to Kollosche New Projects sales consultant Andrew Ramsey, buyers hunting a weekend retreat or a second home are leading the sales charge on Aspire.

already attracting a diverse range of end-users for its commercial spaces, which are priced from $470,000 and offer a 6% yield for those buying through an investment lens.

“Rather than micro-managing people and their time, workers enjoy the flexibility to take breaks when they need to and spaces are set up to make that downtime more enjoyable.”

“The modern workspace encourages more work-play balance to foster happiness, productivity and creativity among employees,” says Ben, who draws inspiration from companies such as Google, famed for its world-class company culture.

“There will also be a boardroom for hire and facility to purchase hot and cold refreshments to complement a high-end client experience,” says Ben.

The concept is tried and tested at Baja’s current Nerang headquarters, where a co-working office space is shared by industries ranging from investment advisory, to engineering and development, to accountants and psychologists.

The answer is a resounding ‘yes’, according to Gold Coast developer Ben McArthur whose vision for a modern workspace includes zones for workers to play, connect and interact.

Early adopters include family businesses, health and wellness practitioners, creative specialists, and even a podcast and photography studio. All were attracted to the quality and feel of the finishes which offer a more homely experience than your average commercial storage shed.

Construction on Sanctuary commenced this month with an estimated completion date of early 2024.

Sanctuary is exclusively sold and leased by Kollosche Commercial.

It’s a forward-thinking concept and one he’s investing heavily in with plans approved and pre-sales under way for an innovative project earmarked for a 5,542m2 site at 515 Olsen Avenue, BajaSouthport.directors

Graffiti art on the walls, racing car and flight simulators, big screen televisions, green walls, a fully-equipped kitchen and spacious dining area, and chic industrial finishes are among the features to be found in a happy workspace.

“We have a cooking challenge every Friday that gets everyone involved,” says Ben. “For events like the last State of Origin, the game was screened on the large TV and everyone pulled up a beanbag to settle in and watch the game.

Each multi-level space is air-conditioned and includes a kitchenette and bathroom with a shower and sleek black tapware. Full mezzanine levels will have timber flooring while ground floors are to be finished in a showroom-style epoxy resin.

Ben McArthur and Jordan Powell are the brains behind Sanctuary, which is set to become the Gold Coast’s largest ‘Man Cave’ community with 70 high-end industrial spaces, each offering 85m2 to 151m2 over three levels.

Walls and ceilings are painted with LED downlights throughout, and you can enter through a front door or via a discreet threemetre roller door suitable for larger prized toys and possessions.

“The central Southport location with Olsen Avenue frontage will appeal to a wide range of users and there are 48 car parks to support businesses and their clients using those workspaces.”

Each business has its own defined area across a spacious floorplan with shared use of a central fully-equipped kitchen, dining room and interactive zones.

Approximately 766m2 of the Sanctuary precinct is devoted to co-working office space, to be leased on six or 12-month tenures to those who own a commercial space, as well as outside businesses seeking a clean, professional and positive workspace.

A Gold Coast developer is drawing a leaf out of the Google playbook by creating an office environment that boosts productivity and engagement through play and interaction.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, as the saying goes, but should employees be encouraged to have more fun at work?

The Fun Future of Workspaces

Kollosche is proud to support the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation’s Cancer Patient Transport Service, which provides a vital link between patients and their care.

A small fleet of three vehicles driven by volunteers makes approximately 6500 journeys each year, helping 1500 cancer patients who are too ill to drive or unable to afford “Kollosche’stransport.contribution will help 465 cancer patients get to hospital for lifesaving treatment this year,” says Gold Coast Hospital Foundation CEO Ben Cox.

The Cancer Patient Transport Service ferries local cancer patients to and from Gold Coast University Hospital from as far as Coolangatta and Coomera for

chemotherapy, radiation therapy, tests and appointments.

Kollosche is proud to support the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation’s Cancer Patient Transport Service with a $20,000 donation through its Kollosche Community Fund.

A Connection to Care

or those Gold Coast residents who are battling cancer, the ability to get to hospital can mean the difference between receiving life-saving treatment or not.

“Without that support, some patients make the heartbreaking decision to not attend treatment. The Kollosche family is helping these cancer patients in the fight for their lives.”

The Service was piloted and launched by former Gold Coast Mayor, the late Ron Clarke, in memory of his daughter Monique, who passed away from cancer in 2009.

By Janelle Estreich

“Rather than simply hand money over to a faceless corporation, we can see that these funds are going straight to helping these patients receive the treatment they need.”

Kollosche established the Community Fund in 2021 as a means for the business and its sales agents to support charitable causes within our local communities.

SCAN HERE for more information on the service

“Kollosche is privileged to support a range of causes, organisations and sporting groups to have a real impact on the lives of people within our local communities,” says Michael.

A percentage of every property sold by Kollosche goes into the Fund with additional donations from the business contributing to a goal of $500,000 for the 2022-2023 financial year.

“This morning I transported a beautiful gentleman who lives at Willowvale and had been spending $300 to get himself to treatment three times a week,” says Lyn.

SCAN HERE to learn more about Kollosche Community Fund or to nominate a cause

The cause holds special meaning for Kollosche lead agent and Kollosche Community Fund Board Member Kara Christensen who supported her mum through treatment.

Kollosche Managing Director Michael Kollosche says the Community Fund allows the business to channel funds directly to those who really need it.

“My mum was treated in this facility and went through quite a few rounds of radiation,” says Kara. “I know how important it is to have someone there to drive you to and from your treatment to feel supported when you’re on that journey.”

That sentiment is echoed by volunteer driver Lyn Cush who says patients are so grateful for the support and savings offered by the service, which welcomes a small contribution of $20 per trip.

“I find it awe-inspiring to transport these people who are going through so much and are so thankful for our service. Words really can’t explain it.”

It’s these centuries old East meets West techniques of gaining depth of flavour that are so interesting and rarely seen in our restaurants.

Instead, the restaurant’s floor to ceiling glass looks out on passers-by, artisans and local folks going about their daily lives.

The essence of Livi's food is simplicity, the share plate menu inspired by the classic dishes the trio discovered on their travels through Spain.

Each day brings a new menu with dishes informed by supply of the best produce the Northern Rivers has to offer, sourced by shopping at the weekly farmers’ markets on different days, and working directly with local farmers and producers.

The venue became a beloved spot for many, renowned for its stunning events as much as it was for its delicious rustic food.

Hopefully, a raft of magical memories is waiting to be created for a new generation. maviseskitchen.com.au

Take a foodie road trip to the Northern Rivers … you will not only enjoy breathtaking scenery, but there will be a highly memorable dining experience waiting at the end of the journey.

Our breakfasts are good examples of the complexity of flavours that these ferments bring.

BISTRO LIVI

Taking up one corner of the art deco Murwillumbah Arts Precinct, Bistro Livi is the sort of establishment one would expect to find in a capital city or a coastal tourist resort.

Visiting the restaurant, we see his ferments silently ageing in jars on top of the wine cabinet: Smoked Bunya Miso, Bonita Garum, Koji Bomba, and Prawn Garum.

Likewise, Baked Woodland Valley eggs in a cast iron pot with tomato, pigeon beans and spices include Koji bomba and garlic.

MAVIS’ KITCHEN Mavis’ Kitchen was founded in 2007 when Peter Clarke and Charlie Ebell moved their beautiful Queenslander from the Gold Coast to a property at the foot of Mt Warning.

With new events, menus and improvements on the horizon, Mavis’ Kitchen is moving into fresh territory while continuing the legacy established by its previous owners.

Like a breath of spring air in the heat of summer, Bistro Livi breezed into town, telling us that change is in the air.

Returning to their roots in the Northern Rivers to start their first restaurant, in the kitchen are Ewen Crawford and Danni Wilson, from Movida and the Carlton Wine Room respectively.

For an excellent weekend lunch, dine on freshly baked house bread to dip in fruity olive oil beside a smoky dish of Jervis Bay pickled mussels followed by the Venetian specialty, whipped salt cod slathered on crisp toast.

It’s a pleasant length journey to travel and indulge in an unhurried lunch, a wander through the surf shops, and even time to pick up produce from a farm stall as you head home. And who knows what adventures you’ll experience along the way.

Even their nostalgic take on a classic beach food of childhood, the fish finger sandwich, is genteel, defined by the shape of a cookie cutter to a petite delicate stack.

Oh, the joy of fried fish on fresh white bread.

In a climate where spring is warmed by the noonday sun, lunch at No.35 is perfection.

“We decided to open a place we would love to go to, serving food we would want to eat,” says Rachel Duffy, who co-owns the restaurant with chef Daniel Metcalf.

The short menu of ten ‘small’ and ‘larger’ share plates plus a few sides and desserts, is pared right back from the duo’s days in the echelons of fine dining.

NO.35 KITCHEN AND BAR

There are no ‘frozen fingers’ to be seen, of course. Instead, medallions of golden crumbed local snapper are served with fine slaw, pickled cucumber and mayo, far tastier than cucumber sandwiches but equally as dainty.

Instead, at No.35 we are reminded to dwell, share plates of ‘new world Italian’ food, making the most of the Northern Rivers’ bounty, sipping well-chosen Italian wine to accompany it.

Cabarita’s a sleepy town, its inherent laziness reminding us that city life can move too fast, leaving the enjoyment of ‘being’ churned up in its wake.

Yet, while dishes are explained in a deceptively simple manner, they are big on quality and flavour.

This is food to take your time with, to enjoy the texture and the interplay of flavour bite by bite.

It’s food to remember and salivate over.

Both Icebergs, Bondi alumni, it’s ironic that now they are working the restaurant rather than dining there.

“The heat from the embers is unique in cooking, and the fire requires the use of all our senses to ensure our cooking is on point. Simplicity is key.”

Simple? Perhaps, but the effects of fire are not, adding tendrils of smoke, caramelisation and the complex layering of flavour that Santiago adds to away from the fire.

“There is so much more to do because fire is such a fragile and beautiful thing,” he says.

But with the arrival of new Head Chef Santiago Socrate, the elegant simplicity of Barrio’s menu has been raised to another level.

From the simple signature dish of cured kingfish with pink peppercorns to woodfire grilled baby octopus with chorizo and XO made in house from a 6-month fermented garum, it’s often one element that raises a dish to the next level.

Training at Osaka in Buenos Aires, and more recently Head Chef at Harvest Newrybar, Chef Santiago combines the traditional Argentinian fire and earth cooking methods from his homeland with European techniques and Australian flavours he has gathered on his culinary journey, fire and ferment enhancing and creating a layering of flavours.

Yet, humbly understated and grounded, Santiago describes himself and his work in just a few words.

Garnishing flavours from indigenous and traditional food sources, Santiago may just as readily experiment with coffee grounds to make pumpkin molasses glaze, or foods such as lemon aspen, Tasmanian pepper, or Davidson plum to enhance his dominant ingredient.

“I like to keep it local, seasonal and simple. So, I would say I am a simple guy.” barriobyronbay.com.au

The single page menu ranges through small to large share plates and vegetables, each as stunning as the next.

The oven and grill have always been the driving force of Barrio’s rustic cuisine, part of a culinary philosophy that respects and enhances the flavours of the produce, itself kissed by flame.

Despite its casual presentation, this epicurean adventure is a work of culinary artistry.

“I like to play with layers of flavour: acidic, bitter, salty, sweet …” he tells us, describing the vibrant piquancy he achieves through pickles and ferments we can see waiting in jars on the end of the bar.

He utilises every aspect of the wood fire, from the flames to the hot ashes, by using a complex arrangement of hooks, chains and flames that allow for simultaneous fast and slow cooking.

The 2021 Chardonnay sits on the leaner, finer end of the Chardonnay scale.

NARELLE KING AND DON LEWIS met when Don was (and had been for a long time) in charge of winemaking at Mitchelton in Victoria’s Nagambie region.

Pinot Noir is a particularly tricky variety to workAnd,with.while Chardonnay is more forgiving, making top-notch Chardonnay requires understanding and skills that don’t necessarily dip into the same pool as those needed for Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio.

It’s the winery with the rather wonderful, very 1970’s tower; the sort of thing you want in miniature in your backyard if you like bead curtains and seriously funky 1970’s architecture (which I most certainly do).

It’s an absolutely cracking year for Mornington wines, so a lucky beginning for the Tar & RosesWheresiblings.exactly the source-vineyards are isn’t disclaimed … only ‘higher altitude Mornington Peninsula vineyards’.

Regardless,Probably.thewines are exceedingly good.

It has perfume, but also depth; structure, but also lightless and delicacy.

Tar & Roses is a vineyard with a rich history and an even richer selection of wines

The first release has landed, both wines from the 2021 vintage.

Then there’s the Pinot Noir, and it is an absolute belter.

And I think both wines – but the Pinot Noir particularly – have the capacity to shame many others that sell for much, much more.

At a time when many traditionalist Australian wine producers are looking to Mediterranean varieties to supplement our dependence on

(Is the Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio the best bang for buck in Australia? Quite possibly.)

classic French varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, etc) – given our climate it’s an entirely valid movement – Tar & Roses has progressed/regressed in the opposite direction, and released a pair of wines from the Mornington Peninsula; Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

But there is a whole lot of textural goings-on; a touch of mealiness, a lick of vanilla, a very slight oiliness.

He has joined Narelle in the Tar & Roses project, which says a great deal about the desire to get things right, and the lack of ego.

That’s for both wines, which suggests both multiple sources, and the Red Hill and Main Ridge sub-regions.

It reminds me of some of the wines that come off the Willowlake vineyard in the Yarra Valley (Oakridge particularly).

PAIRINGPERFECT

There’s a silkiness (the same sort of umami thing you get in a really good ramen), a layered complexity in both flavour and texture.

But Narelle has thrown a fly in the ointment.

Anthony has his own brand, Rising Wines, based in the Yarra Valley, and he has been practising his skills for the past 16 years with some of the best exponents of the two varieties in the country.

Again, it is a wine that will become better with age, but it is so delicious now I don’t foresee many bottles making 2024 or beyond.

Enter Anthony Fikkers.

Narelle landed a job at Mitchelton in 2001, and it sparked what would become a wonderful vinousTogetherpartnership.theyfounded Tar & Roses – an Australian based brand that specialises in Mediterranean varieties (Nebbiolo, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio) from the home base in Victoria, but also making wines in Spain. As you do Don,…unfortunately, passed away in 2017 leaving a void; he was a wonderful man and an exceedingly insightful winemaker.

I suspect it will open up and become more lavish with a few more years in a decent cellar.

WORDS TONY HARPER

Narelle – also a wonderful spirit and an equally gifted winemaker – has continued the Tar & Roses name, and its tradition of wines of extraordinary value.

Both of the wines sell for close to $40, which is at the high end for the Tar & Roses brand, but hardly creating a ripple when it comes to decent Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Very classic French varieties.

Unusually, the gearbox is mounted not behind the engine but on the front of the rear-axle differential.Asaresult, front-rear distribution of the Vantage’s 1570 kg kerb weight is 50:50, which race drivers will confirm is the perfect balance for accurate, high-speed cornering.

Premium, personalisation and limited editions are the name of the game if you want real exclusivity.Andthat counts for a lot, because surely no-one buys such cars for just their performance or luxury.

Wheels have been increased to 21 inches and wear bespoke Pirelli tyres.

So while you might think a ‘standard’ Aston Martin Vantage is the car of your dreams, I’m sorry to say someone is going to gazump you with the even flasher Vantage F1 Edition.

That’s the way it goes in the top-end car business.Virtually no super-luxury or super-sports car is sold in standard specification.

F1-UPMANSHI P

You will see this car performing official Safety Car duties in the Formula 1 World Championship*, (*The Aston Martin and the Mercedes-AMG appear at alternate F1 rounds), complementing Aston Martin’s participation as a team.

It’s a permanent, premium addition to the range with a $325,876 list price, $26,414 more than an ‘ordinary’ Vantage coupe.

There’s been work on the steering, suspension and wheels too.

Aerodynamics come next. Most obviously, the sleek Vantage now sports a rear wing for the first time.

IT IS HUMAN NATURE that if a product is offered in multiple grades, no-one will want to be seen to have bought the cheapest one.

This uprated performance surely helps when you’re pacing a field of impatient, snarling Formula 1 cars, for which 200 kmh is barely idling.

WORDS CHRIS NIXON

True – after the Australian Grand Prix last April, some F1 drivers complained the Vantage wasn’t fastNextenough.came the gearbox.

The car turns into corners more directly and rides bumps and crests better.

The Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition is turning heads on and off the track.

Prestige doesn’t come much better than driving a replica of the F1 Safety Car, right down to the satin green paintwork, if you choose it.

Happily, the Vantage F1 Edition isn’t some marketing special tricked-up with leftovers from the parts bin.

The 8-speed automatic ZF unit changes gears faster, minimising any loss of momentum and giving the driver a more precise feel through the fingertip paddle shifters.

Considering the enhancements on this model, the extra money appears reasonable value.

‘F1’ means what it says.

Thinkcars.of it as an alternative to the Porsche 911, widely considered the benchmark in thisForcategory.theF1, Aston Martin firstly tweaked the power of the Mercedes AMG-based, twin-turbo 4.0 litre V8 to 393 kiloWatts.

The Vantage is the least expensive and most sporting model in the range of front-engine Aston Martin

Torque output is unchanged at 685 Newtonmetres, but it is now delivered over a broader rev range to make the car more flexible.

FULL ELECTRIC: These cars rely completely on large batteries connected to a charging point, which can take from minutes to hours to complete its job.

THE BUSINESS MODEL that charges monthly rent to stream TV shows and movies into your loungeroom is heading to your garage.

The Vantage is docile at town speeds, although the driver is aware constantly of avoiding kerbs, potholes, sharp road edges and those splitter-scraping wheel stops in parking bays.

Finally, the F1 Edition offers a comely visual makeover. Our test example was painted in the same green as the Formula 1 race car, with a wide grey central stripe from nose to Inside,tail.the grey Alcantara seats featured a lime-green stripe and stitching.

The concept: So many dynamic and comfort features of the modern car are computer-controlled that they can be simply switched on or off.

Driving the F1 Edition means pleasure and pain.

In America, Tesla has previously charged for power upgrades, although it is understood to have wound back the practice.

A conventional engine drives the car and also charges a battery for an electric motor that provides alternative or supplementary power at low speeds and for short Around-towndistances.petrolconsumption and emissions are reduced.

EVs offer high performance and low running and maintenance costs, helping to offset high purchase prices.

BMW builds-in a list of these features with its cars and charges a flat amount or a monthly subscription to enable them by remotely unlocking the software.

It’s exciting, of course, but that’s tempered with a visceral anxiety about steering something almost 2.2 metres wide, extremely powerful and extremely expensive.

EV Update

Like the Hybrid, there are no limits on range when the petrol engine takes over from the electric.

At the front it’s complemented by a full-width splitter, small dive planes on the corners and underbody turning vanes.

The F1 Edition gives the Vantage a fresh stake in the sports car game after three years in production.

Range anxiety is disappearing as some EVs can drive for up to 500 kms and more charging points are installed around the country.

HYBRID: The oldest and most numerous type, popularised over 25 years by Toyota and Lexus.

BMW recently introduced its ConnectedDrive Store to Australia and other makes are certain to follow.

The car’s bulk shrinks around you with familiarity.

Lairy, yes, but if you’re pretending to be an F1 Safety Car driver who’s going to criticise?

The ‘standard’ Vantage remains on sale, but now there is also a version that exploits the car’s innate qualities with a comprehensive range of enhancements that truly make a difference.

Remote start? Click, ker-ching. Adaptive suspensipn? Click, ker-ching. Navigation update? Click, ker-ching. And so on.

PLUG-IN HYBRID: A bigger battery can be charged on the move by the conventional engine or by a wall socket, giving greater electric-only range of around 50 Around-townkms.petrol consumption and emissions are reduced.

Pay to use

Fast and winding roads are the Aston’s home ground.

BMW says the system will allow second-hand or subsequent owners to re-configure cars to their preference.

The controls are conventional enough and will not trouble a driver of any level, although they are tightly packed on the centre console and frankly the layout looks a little dated.

A BRIEF GUIDE to the three types of electric-powered vehicles.

When is your car not your own? (Answered easily by those on leasing deals –Concernnever.)about the maker remotely disabling features when subscriptions are in default is obvious.

All contribute to an extra 200 kg downforce at the F1 Edition’s 314 kmh top speed.

The Mercedes AMG V8, one of the best highperformance engines around, responds superbly and lets rip a mighty noise the faster it runs.

The concept may appeal to people who own their cars for relatively short terms, such as business users, but may concern those who prefer to own their cars outright and for a longer term.

For ordinary pedallers like me, it’s nonetheless a thrill to test my own limits – and survive – in such an exotic car.

In short, property investors are returning to the market after many cashed in their chips during the pandemic – with some getting out early when

RENTAL RETURN

But there’s also another interesting forecast that offers promise for the premium end of the property

RISING INTEREST RATES inevitably bring out the property pessimists, and there are plenty having their say in the current climate.

While June saw a dip in investor loans, a much sharper fall than owner-occupier loans, the solid gain recorded over the year is another indication that the property market is finding its balance following the heady pandemic-induced boom.

WORDS NICK NICOLS

With aggregate lending volumes to investors and owner occupiers holding above $30 billion since April last year, and investor loans tracking at more than half of owner-occupier volumes throughout 2022, investors are seemingly taking up the slack of home-loan borrowers who have been rattled by interest rate increases.

Figures released by SQM Research showed vacancy rates nationally tightened further to 1 per cent in June this year, down from 1.7 per cent 12 months earlier.

That compares with a slide of 9.6 per cent in lending volumes to owner occupiers – a figure likely skewed by the spike in the 2020-21 financial year driven by government incentives.

The near-term trend for net arrivals is tracking higher.

Henley Global Citizens Report, multi-millionaires are on the move around the world and Australia is shaping up as one of the most sought-after destinations in 2022.

Notably, Australia is the second most popular market in the world for the mega-rich who have largely sat tight throughout the pandemic.

measures were introduced to protect tenants from evictions and others taking advantage of big capital gains as the market peaked much later.

“While capital city rents continue to march higher, it’s possible we could be near the peak in the national rental crisis.”

One of the reasons, according to New World Wealth, is that Australia is rated one of the five safest countries in the world for 2021-22, along with Switzerland, Malta, Iceland and New Zealand.

The report expects Australia to experience a net gain of 3,500 high-net-worth individuals this year, just behind the United Arab Emirates at 4,000.These will be among the 88,000 wealthy individuals that Henley says will make the move to destinations including Singapore, Israel and Switzerland this year, increasing to 125,000 next year.

“The rental market remains significantly in favour of landlords,” says Mr Christopher.

Australia’s forecast gain for 2022 is more than twice the 1,500 affluent migrants expected to relocate to the US.

While volumes are still at less than half of those at the end of 2019, the most recent data from the ABS shows a net gain of more than 23,000 people in May.

Property investors are returning to the real estate market.

However, adding pressure to property demand is the number of net overseas arrivals to Australia.

Certainly, rising interest rates are having an impact on consumer sentiment, and that’s their purpose, but the extent of the hit to property prices remains a guessing game.

It’s important to note that the Real Estate Institute of Queensland considers a healthy market as one with a vacancy rate of between 2.6 and 3.5 per cent, so there’s still some way to go before these levels are achieved.

According to the ABS data, despite home loan commitments for investors falling 6.3 per cent in June to $10.5 billion, the figure is still 101 per cent higher than immediately before the pandemic hit in February 2020.

However, that doesn’t mean optimists are thin on the ground, especially when considering the number of property investors who have been getting into the market over the past year.

If the latter forecast is met, it will be the biggest migration of high-net-worth individuals globally in the past ten years.

The recent volatility of global share markets is touted as one reason for investors returning to the property sector, with investors attracted by persistently tight vacancy rates and rising rents offering attractive yields.

That may change in the near term, especially in regional areas, according to Louis Christopher, managing director of SQM Research.

“However, there are now signs of a peak in the rental market in regional Australia with a larger number of regions now recording rising rental vacancy rates and some falls in rents.

According to the most recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, lending to property investors surged 17.3 per cent in the year to June 2022.

2022 MARKET

This increased interest in the Whitsundays from Southeast Queensland has resulted in a 25 per cent property pricing increase over the past 12 months, according to Mr Taylor.

This tightening of supply forced by these and other projects across the Gold Coast have pushed genuine buyers into other projects, facilitating great success for those which have already locked into construction contracts.

With the unemployment rate at 3.5 per cent nationally, one only has to look at the M1 between Brisbane and the Gold Coast to see that most people have jobs, and most people can afford their rent.

That’s almost the consensus among experts in the property industry who have been quietly analysing the latest ‘slowdown’ in the market.

Firstly, I’m going to use the example of one apartment project in the southern suburb of Palm Beach as a perfect example of the yin and yang of the

Themarket.$140 million Alegria project on the central Palm Beach beachfront sold all of its apartments in rapid time during the height of the boom, and yet this project is no longer going ahead.

Why? The prices the developer sold the apartments for was too cheap under the backdrop of rising construction costs, making the project unviable.

It was subsequently shelved, with many disappointed purchasers handed their deposits back.

MOVINGUPDATENORTH

Slowdown is usually a word that implies things are not going well in any particular market or economy.

AccordingQueensland.toRobTaylor of Taylors Property Group, ‘the push from buyers in southern capitals into regional markets during the pandemic has significantly increased the exposure of the area with many looking for a lifestyle change’.

If you’re an investor, you’ll be rubbing your hands together with the rental vacancy rate in the Southeast corner at around one per cent.

I have already heard of prospects from Sydney, Melbourne and Southeast Queensland looking further north to the Sunshine Coast, Townsville and The Whitsundays for new investments.

It’s a constriction of new product supply to the market that is actually creating greater demand for the product currently in the market.

MIGRATION AND THE STATE’S VALUE proposition are set to be the key drivers of the Queensland property market over the next decade.

In the property and real estate sector this doesn’t seem to be the case, in Southeast Queensland at least. The reality is that many of my clients simply cannot keep up with the demand for their projects – demand that is being driven by sustained high migration and a ‘slowdown’ in the release of new projects. This slowdown is not really a slowdown at all.

AQUARIUS 21 Jan – 19 Feb

CANCER 22 Jun – 23 Jul

Early September will be ideal for focusing on health and work and for creating a schedule that balances the two. You may revisit an idea or venture, enabling you to fine-tune your plans. A surprise in your personal life is likely midSeptember, and the best way to boost your love life will be to show someone close extra care and attention, as a refreshing chapter will begin.

ARIES 21 Mar – 20 Apr

SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov – 22 Dec

September is a good time to reconfigure your daily schedule so that it suits you better. Commitments you must make will come to a head mid-month. And, if you prefer to be adaptable, you'll gain the chance to review how you wish to move forward over the ensuing weeks. The solar eclipse on October 25 will help you turn a corner, as you will be increasingly led by your values.

September is ideal for reconsidering your finances. The full moon on the 10th will illuminate where you could rein in spending, especially if you have miscalculated your overheads. It's a good time to re-evaluate your loyalties and for a reunion and a trip to an old haunt. The solar eclipse on October 25 will kickstart a new agreement with someone or at home or with family.

PISCES 20 Feb – 20 Mar

GEMINI 22 May – 21 Jun

Take developments at home one step at a time and, as a result, you will build a strong framework both at work and financially. You'll enjoy improving your home and environment and will appreciate beautiful surroundings. A trip or change of schedule will open doors, so be prepared to embrace new opportunities, especially in your career at the new moon on September 26.

LEO 24 Jul – 23 Aug

September has a nostalgic quality. You may enjoy a reunion or the chance to reconstruct your home or personal life, letting go of a past situation. Developments may be slow, so ensure you pace yourself. Avoid feeling disappointed by others; find ways to be positive despite their circumstances. You'll gain an increasing sense of balance from mid-October onwards.

SCORPIO 24 Oct – 22 Nov

You'll enjoy spending time with someone special early in September. You may be drawn to travel and/or to alter your environment in constructive ways. In your personal life, you're ready to let go of someone who gives you mixed messages and to create more stability in your life. Keep an eye on finances over the next two months and consider reviewing your expenditure.

TAURUS 21 Apr – 21 May

Developments will bring focus to your personal life and your creativity, encouraging you to look for stability and security from your ventures. September will be excellent for paying closer attention to the details of your arrangements and to avoid over-analysing your emotions. The solar eclipse on October 25 will kickstart a fresh work and daily routine; be prepared.

September is a good month to improve your health and wellbeing. But Mercury retrograde means you must be careful with communications and finances until mid-October. The new moon will be in Libra on September 26, so the last week of September is best for implementing change. Your love life will improve from midOctober onwards, so organise treats for then!

3007 No. 848 No. 849No.

STARS

You'll be drawn to reconnect with old friends, travel, re-learn some of your skills and pick up a venture where you left off. Key work or health news early in September will enable you to plan ahead. Mercury retrograde may slow the pace, but the solar eclipse end of October signals transformation both financially and in your love life, so be prepared!

The sun in Virgo until the 23rd will be revitalising. But from the 10th onwards, you're best to pay special attention to finances and must avoid underestimating your budget. Venus could improve your love life, so take the initiative! Take things one step at a time in October as old vulnerabilities may emerge. Luckily, communications will improve from mid-October onwards.

CAPRICORN 23 Dec – 20 Jan

VIRGO 24 Aug – 23 Sept

September is a go-ahead time – if you can avoid feeling frustrated by the relatively slow or erratic pace after the 10th. The effects of Mercury retrograde until mid-October will spotlight the logistics of some of your plans. If you find plans lacking, you'll get to adjust them. Prepare for personal and family transformations after the solar eclipse on October 25.

LIBRA 24 Sept – 23 Oct

You'll enjoy a sociable, fun start to the month; you may reconnect with someone special. Be sure to remain practical and positive mid-September, as the full moon on the 10th may bring out your vulnerabilities. You may be surprised by new work opportunities over the next two months, but must be careful with communications with groups and organisations until mid-October.
