Th e start of this year has brought with it a hype of auction activity. Rumba Resort in Caloundra had its default auction last week where 11 of its luxury apartments went under the hammer. Marketing agency Henzells were quite delighted when a whopping 150 people turned up to the auction to snag a bargain, and by Tuesday there were only three units left . Th ree were sold prior to auction, two under the hammer on the day and three had sold post auction (at time of print). Th is also comes as First National Real Estate gears up for its fi rst and biggest in-room auction event. Today, the First National group will take 25 local properties to auction at the Maroochy RSL club (from 11am), making it the biggest in-room auction event the Coast has ever seen. All up, there are more than 35 advertised properties going to auction this weekend, so keep an eye on next weeks auction action page to monitor the results. Happy bidding.

cover story

Getting on with the job

As thousands of Coast residents celebrate Australia Day around barbecues, in backyards and at beaches, the last thing on their minds is work. But without jobs, few would be enjoying this lifestyle, not to mention the dream of home ownership. Many workers, from tradies to executives, took a hit in the recent fi nancial turmoil, and with 200,000 new residents moving here over the next 20 years, employment is critical to our regions success.

If jobs dry up, our community cannot be sustainable, says the Sunshine Coast Regional Councils new investment and marketing manager Alex Lever-Shaw. Th at, in a nutshell, is why the council, business and industry are determined to do something about jobs at a local level. Its also why anyone whos invested in Coast property is keen to know specifi cs, considering strong employment and economic growth underpin a buoyant property market.

Th e Coasts economy is dominated by three industries construction, tourism and retail. We have more than 116,000 households and 31,700 businesses. Most businesses are small, with 85 per cent employing fewer than fi ve people. Th e Queensland unemployment rate fell marginally to 5.9 per cent in December.

Mayor Bob Abbot, who is leading a council and community agenda to make the Coast the most sustainable region in Australia, advocates an economic climate of opportunities for work and income. He says sustainability involves balancing environmental, economic and social values while managing growth.

So what is being done to boost jobs on the Sunshine Coast? For employers like Hugo Schreuder, chief executive offi cer of Youi Insurance, setting up a on the Coast has proven lucrative. Youi is part of FirstRand, a global fi nancial services group worth $16 billion and employing 42,000 staff . When the South

There is a vision for our Coast to become a vibrant, green and diverse region, but what does this mean for jobs and property?

by Julie Gatehouse

We sat down and agreed that while the Coast is well-known as a tourism destination, its time to drive it forward as a

business destination

African-based company wanted to establish a new headquarters a few years ago, it looked around Australia, and settled on Maroochydore.

Were going unbelievably well, Hugo says. We now employ more than 250 staff at Maroochydore, from young singles to senior executives and their families, in departments ranging from the call centre to information technology to claims and fi nance. Weve helped the Coast retain skilled professionals who would have sought work in capital cities, and weve attracted staff from other areas who are now investing in the region.

Hugo says the quality of staff and the level of council support have helped Youi exceed its business plan projections for both car and home insurance.

Fostering national and international investment is one of the councils most recent job-creation strategies. Two months ago it launched the Natural Advantages initiative, in which 12 of the regions leading industry, government and educational representatives, such as the University of the Sunshine Coast, Innovation Centre, TAFE and the State Government, are working to encourage innovative, export-focused businesses.

We sat down and agreed that while the Coast is well-known as a tourism destination, its time to drive it forward as a business destination, says Alex. He adds the public may not realise how heavily the council and stakeholders are involved in what could be called the silent business. Our economic development department talks to companies every day about the benefi ts of moving here, but everything must be confi dential until it happens. Were focusing on particular types of high-value businesses because, unlike some other regional locations, we dont have vast tracts of cheap industrial land. We do have an enviable lifestyle and this helps businesses attract and retain the best staff .

Alex says the council is also working with its partners to encourage successful homegrown fi rms to follow the example of Ingenero (solar), BizFurn (furniture) and Gourmet Garden (food) in expanding locally rather than moving to the capitals.

Broadening the Coasts economic base is the fi rst element of the councils fi ve-point Action Plan 2009-2014, part of a Draft Economic Development Strategy now out for public comment (submissions

Nambour and Bulcock Street, Caloundra. Meanwhile Sunshine Coast Enterprises, a council-owned company, is running development and training programs for small- to medium-sized businesses across the Coast.

Lew says supporting local is the fastest way to boost jobs and the Coast economy. We need to keep working through issues, such as reducing our own red tape and streamlining planning regulations and forming partnerships that help residents turn their ideas and skills into start-up businesses, he says.

Lew says the current overhauls of council strategies relating to planning and economic development recognise the need to make the rules less onerous and expensive for business people, particularly in smaller suburbs and hinterland towns. Employers and sole operators also need better access to state and federal government provisions and fi nancial support from banks.

Th e plans third point is ensuring the infrastructure is in place, such as through targeted development of land aimed at ensuring business growth. Th e recent provision of fi bre-optic network through the Connecting the Coast

close next Sunday January 31 see box overleaf). Its purpose is to enable the creation of wealth, prosperity and jobs in line with sustainability.

Initial sectors targeted are aviation, creative industries, food and beverage, tourism and events, digital industries, education services and environmental technologies. Later this year four more sectors will be examined. Th ese are health services, sport and leisure, light industries and professional services.

Th e council is determined to respond to the challenges of population growth, climate change and fi nancial cycles. An example given by councillor Lew Brennan, whose portfolio is economic development and entrepreneurship, is investing in green energy production. We have started the tender process for a proposal to generate electricity from the regions waste, Lew says. It will create jobs, reduce landfi ll and costs to rate payers, and

create electricity we can sell on the grid.Council wants to see controlled

growth and a solid footing for property owners and investors, says Alex. We want to manage growth to maintain our region over the long term and make sure all the elements are balanced for a sustainable future, he says. If we dont, the returns on housing investments certainly wont be consistent. If theres a boom you might get bigger returns short term, but who will aff ord your property if the region isnt creating high-value jobs?

He says the idea is to increase the value of employment across the Coast to generate more household income so people can enjoy a higher standard of living, including buying their own home.

Supporting local businesses is the second part in the plan. Alex points to revitalisation plans for town centres from the beaches to the hinterland, including fresh images and new business practices. Work is underway at Noosa Junction, in continued over >

We need to reduce our own red tape, streamline planning

regulations and form partnerships that help

residents turn their ideas and skills into businesses

Five ways to boost employment and the economy

1 A broad economic base: Diversifying the economy to enable the creation of more jobs in a wider base of economic sectors while encouraging the growth in employment and output of individual businesses

2 Support for local businesses: Training and development to enhance the capacity of small to medium businesses. Providing the right framework and legislative environment that allows businesses to operate without the burden of over regulation.

3 Infrastructure for economic growth: Ensuring that the right infrastructure is in place through targeted development of land aimed at ensuring business growth.

4 A sustainable tourism industry: As the main industry, it is important that we continue to grow the volume and value of tourism, which also generates business for all the other sectors of the economy.

5 A strong rural sector: The retention of productive capacity is vital to the future sustainability of the region as well as contributing to the lifestyle and appearance of the region.

collaboration is expected to attract private companies and government organisations that require high-speed broadband connectivity. Alex says the council is now amending policy to ensure all new developments on the Coast becomes fi bre-optic compatible.

Transport needs such as the Sunshine Coast Airport terminals recent upgrade, plus road and rail partner projects, are a focus. Intensive master-planning is underway for the huge new communities at Palmview and Caloundra South.

But the availability of developable land is contentious. Lew acknowledges that industrial land is constrained by policy and cost and wants more of it freed up. Mark Van Wyk, who last month became president of the Coast branch of the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA), says fast-tracking land approvals and creating more industrial land would be incentives for new businesses to set up here.

In his list of priorities for job creation in the region (see breakout this page), Mark calls for the approval of land to allow construction around designated activity centres. Th is will support enterprise growth, he says. Th e construction and development industries have vast networks to help entice investment to our region. We are not advocating open slather or Gold Coast-style development.

Point four on the councils action plan is a sustainable tourism industry. With this sector a key economic driver of the Coasts prosperity, a new tourism partnership aims to represent these interests from Noosa to Caloundra. An upcoming example, says Alex, is the Mooloolaba Triathlon on March 26 to 28, which generates thousands of bed nights for the industry and expenditure that supports other businesses at a slow time.

A strong rural industry is the plans fi ft h point. An innovation for 2010 is the inaugural Sunshine Coast Food Show, to be held at Twin Waters on February 21. Council, in agreement with the recently formed Sunshine Coast Food and Beverage Marketing Group, is a founding sponsor, says Alex. Th e event aims to

showcase local produce and businesses to a wider distribution network. Lew, who is also on the rural futures strategy working group, says primary production and manufacturing remain vital to the regions sustainability.

Mark from the UDIA believes economic sustainability is already intrinsic to the Sunshine Coast. Over the past decade the vast majority of businesses here have re-engineered the way they operate and have a far greater social and environmental awareness, he says.

He off ers cautious support for diversifi cation. Th e Coasts construction and development industry workforce was reduced by 42 per cent, or more than 9200 full-time jobs, in the year to last August. Th e good news is that the December 2009 quarter showed a jump of more than 6100 full-time jobs, he says. Th e transition to sustainable job creation should occur over a realistic period to allow for proper planning, consultation, re-skilling or the creation of alternative industries. It should not

occur at the expense of the construction industry, which

is vital to our economy sustainability in the short to medium term.

Lew has been a councillor since he was elected in Noosa 12 years

ago and has worked in

construction, farming, small business and property investment. He agrees that the mandate to be green must put a healthy economy and community on the same rung as the environment. We cant aff ord to get the balance wrong at this point in the future of the Sunshine Coast, he says.

Mayor Bob Abbot says the region, which will have some of the nations most sophisticated and sustainable master-planned communities over the next 20 years, is already home to a growing and skilled workforce with signifi cant lifestyle advantages over the cities. We are stepping up our eff orts to [tell] the world that the Coast is fast becoming the business location of choice.

Five priorities for employment and the economy development industry

1 Promote our region as open for business and bring confi dence to the market.

2 Act now. Create more industrial land and attract new business and investment.

3 Approve land for construction around various activity centres (for example Maroochydore town centre, Palmview, Beerwah, Kawana, Nambour, Caloundra South) to support enterprise growth.

4 Align the regions economic development strategy to support these outcomes. The proposed new planning scheme should support the regions economic development as opposed to controlling it.

5 Establish a meaningful platform where the captains of industry and other stakeholders can work collaboratively to fi nd solutions.

Rumba default auction a huge success

Rumba Resorts default unit auction last Friday was a great success, drawing a crowd of around 150 people to the resorts function room.

Th e luxury waterfront development in Bulcock Beach, Caloundra had 11 units that were put up for resale when the original contracts failed to settle.

Henzells project and sales manager Jason Jaeger says these luxury units were originally purchased off the plan in 2008, but hadnt settled because the buyers failed to get fi nance approval.

It was an unfortunate situation for those buyers who missed out, but it created a lucrative opportunity for those wanting to pick up a bargain, he says.

Th ree units sold prior to auction, with eight presented on the day.

Award-winning auctioneer Jason Andrew worked the crowded room, producing an exciting outcome with the fi rst unit selling under the hammer to a buyer from Tannum Sands. He paid $1.1 million for a palatial three-bedroom unit on the ocean front. A second unit was also sold under the hammer for $625,000.

A further three units were sold post-auction, and by Tuesday, Jason says, eight of the 11 units were sold.

He adds, To see that many people turn up was fantastic. Th ey smelt a bargain and I really think people are just generally interested in the Caloundra market.

We are very happy with the result

Henzells agent Matt Glynn and manager Jason Jaeger negotiate with the bidder who eventually spent $1.1 million on an ocean-front Rumba apartment

An eco-community in our hinterland is a sanctuary for people and animals, and a global inspiration for sustainable living.

by Pauline Clayton

From hippie to hotThe unique and isolated housing development of Crystal Waters is considered the fi rst and is certainly the most famous eco-village in Australia.

Tucked out of sight down a narrow country lane in the far south-west corner of the Conondale Valley, the village takes up 640 acres. It has 83 residential sites that range from 3300 to 5500 square

metres and two community/commercial sites. Th e residential titles take up just 14 per cent of the area, while six per cent is community/commercial and the remainder community open space.

Barry Goodman is one of the original planners, and he says some of the original hippie, squatter settlers were disturbed when Crystal Waters became

formal and the development was approved in the record time of 12 weeks by the then Landsborough Shire.

We had to bring in the dozers to make the roads and take out a couple of hills to put in 14 dams, Barry says.

Today the water lily-edged dams are full and it is almost impossible to see the houses through the trees. It is a wildlife sanctuary where the pervading sound is the call of resident bellbirds.

Crystal Waters was established in the mid-1980s by four dedicated environmentalists, Barry, Geoff Young, Max Lindegger and Rob Tap.

Th ey adhered to the principles laid down by the father of permaculture in Australia, Bill Mollison, to establish a sustainable development.

Th e entire development comes under body corporate by-laws, which includes the prohibition of cats, dogs and pesticides in the community.

Th e downside of this is that weed

control is a labor-intensive job and written into the body corporate is the agreement that every lot must give 10 hours of weed management labor per annum (or the equivalent at $16 an hour).

Th e body corporate pumps up to 1000 litres a day to each site from Kilcoy and Scrub creeks. Residents collect and store rain water and as the Conondale Valley has a more consistent rainfall than the eastern side of the Blackall Range, lack of water has never been an issue.

Sewerage systems are many and varied but all are approved and eff ectively maintained. Th e most famous is Barry Goodmans indoor composting loo.

Th e houses vary in design, and are constructed of an array of eco-friendly materials including mud brick, pole frame, rammed earth and straw bales.

Crystal Waters is on the curriculum for environmental science studies at several universities around the world.
