In the offi ce the other day I was discussing the topic of this week’s cover story – male depression – when

a colleague said an intriguing thing. He mentioned a mutual friend who had

suffered depression before exclaiming, “I don’t know how she could be – anyone who earns that much money shouldn’t be depressed!” I don’t think my colleague was joking and the unfortunate thing is a few other people in the offi ce nodded their heads in agreement.

The myth of depression is that the condition is just a form of sadness and if you earn a good wage or have a nice house, why would you be sad? But this is just one of the many misconceptions around it, which is why I felt it important to run a story on depression, and particularly, male depression. I want to highlight to those who have never

suffered just how prevalent it is in our country, and for those who are suffering, to help them understand that they are not alone, and that help is at hand. Men are just as vulnerable – sometimes more so – to mental health issues as women and I would urge all readers, male and female, to turn to page 6. Our blokes do a pretty good job of looking after us – mine certainly does – so let’s not forget to look after them.

On a lighter note there was plenty of social activity this week – our coverage of that starts on page 10. There is foodie and entertainment news, starting on page 24, and our great new style section on page 28.

Over to property and among the best new listings on the Coast is a guide to buying land, the latest real estate-related news, auctions and more. That kicks off on page 39.

CRYINGSHAME

PREVIEWMillions of Australians suffer depression at some point in their lives, but men are more likely than women to grin and bear it. Support organisations are now urging men to get help before it’s too late.

WORDSJemma Pearson

Jeff Kennett suffered from it, as did John Bon Jovi. Winston Churchill famously fought a losing battle with it, while literature, music and

the arts are littered with those who succumbed. The average Australian is no less immune – in fact, it’s estimated that more than two million Australian men will experience depression at some stage in their lives.

For those who’ve never lived a life circled by the black dog, it can be diffi cult to empathise. If you have a good job, a nice house, a happy marriage, why would you be depressed? Experts agree there’s no easy explanation for what causes depression. And for many people, there are multiple reasons, a perfect storm of life events, biology and genes. Personality can be a factor – some people are just more susceptible to it – and there is plenty of evidence to show a genetic cause, so if your dad battled it, you’re more likely to. There are biochemical causes for some people, where the brain

chemistry calls the black dog forward, and illness can also lead to depression. Stress and ageing can also set it off – life events such as divorce, retirement and job loss are sometimes blamed.

Regardless of the cause, it’s usually those closest to the sufferer who will notice the signs. Moodiness, restlessness or lethargy, sleeping more or less, changes in appetite, and unexplained headaches or backaches can all be signs of depression. And every generation has their unique set of risks that can lead to developing the disorder.

Younger men and generation Y According to the Black Dog Institute, youth suicide is the third most common cause of death in that age group. Men aged 18 to 24 are at great risk of developing mental health issues. Biological and developmental factors are often to blame, and signs of depression can include becoming withdrawn and falling behind at

school or uni. Many young men take up drugs, abuse alcohol or engage in risk-taking behaviours to cope or to cover up. Unfortunately, because most adolescents go through some period of turmoil – it’s developmentally normal for this age group to display uncharacteristic behaviour – those close to the young man may not realise he is at risk. Any talk of suicide, however, should be addressed straight away.

Generation X Many men in their mid to late 30s and 40s are in the middle-management phase of life, often juggling families and work, perhaps caring for ageing parents. A relationship break-up or job loss is a common trigger for depression for men in this age group. Loss of stability in the workplace is linked to loss of self-worth and, in a post-GFC world, plenty of men know what that feels like. Black Dog Institute reports, “The events that are most likely to ‘trigger’ depression are ones where the individual’s self-esteem is put at risk, compromised or devalued.”

Baby boomers and beyond Retirement and job loss are big factors in this age group – many men defi ne themselves by their jobs and even a voluntary retirement can trigger a sense of lost identity. Older men, particularly, under-report symptoms perhaps due to a misguided sense of pride, and in this age group depression symptoms can be incorrectly attributed to dementia or simply old age. Poor concentration, memory loss, chronic pain and poor sleep are all warning signs. Social isolation is also a big problem in this age group, as is forced dependency due to physical illness or injury.

Ignorance is not blissMany men, whatever their age, hide their symptoms, and given the misconceptions and myths surrounding the condition, it’s unsurprising.

Beyondblue is a national depression advocacy and education initiative. In a press release from April, the organisation’s CEO Kate Carnell reported that despite the progress made by the organisation in raising awareness of depression and anxiety in Queensland, there is still a way to go.

Beyondblue’s 2011-2012 Depression Monitor asked Queenslanders some important questions, and the answers highlight the need to further educate the community and sufferers about depression. They found 30 per cent of respondents wrongly thought it would be helpful to tell someone with depression to put on a brave face, 28 per cent wrongly thought it would help to take a friend with depression to the pub for a few drinks to help them forget their worries, and 20 per cent wrongly thought those with severe depression should simply pull themselves together.

Carnell said in the statement, “It seems that many people still don’t know depression is an illness which needs and responds to treatment, and still don’t know how to help themselves or someone else who may be struggling.”

Miners sink to new depthsA new study has found thousands of Australian miners suffer from mental health problems, and a ‘macho mining culture’ stops them from getting help, AAP reports.

Up to 10,000 mining company employees each year have mental health problems such as anxiety or depression, the study commissioned by the NSW Minerals Council found. The study, prepared by the University of Newcastle and the Hunter Institute of Mental Health, found some resource-sector employees were reluctant to seek help until their issue got really bad. NSW Minerals Council CEO Stephen Galilee says, “Cultural impediments like the old macho mining culture – the ‘we’re tough, this doesn’t happen to us’ mentality – needs to be swept away if employees are to confi dently seek advice.”

Many mining camps squeeze hundreds of workers into large communities of dongas. Plenty of workers arrive unprepared for an isolated life working long hours in a very male-dominated culture, away from the emotional support of family and friends. It’s an environment ripe for developing mental health issues.

OzHelp, a Federal Government-funded suicide prevention group, estimates that the suicide rate among mining and construction workers is as much as 70 per cent higher than the national average.

Where to go for helpTreatment is many and varied, and the list of therapies – natural, medical and emotional – is long. If you believe you or a loved one might be suffering from depression, the best person to see fi rst is your GP. Here are a few other organisations that are here to help.

Department of Health and Ageing (health.gov.au) can help with aged-care issues and provides counselling, therapy and information.

Major suicide risk According to Beyondblue, about one in fi ve Australians will experience depression at some stage in their life. Men with depression are at greater risk of the illness going unrecognised and untreated compared with women, and men tend to manage symptoms by using drugs or alcohol. Unfortunately, this often makes the depression worse, and if left untreated is a major risk for suicide. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that male suicide rates are higher in men than in women. As at 2008:• In young men aged 15 to 19 the suicide rate was around nine per 100,000 males.• In men aged 20 to 24 the suicide rate was 19 per 100,000.• In men aged 40 to 44 years it was more than 26 per 100,000.

Diabetes and depressionSpeaking at a Sydney conference to launch a new study of more than 3000 Australians with diabetes, Lewis Kaplan, the CEO of Diabetes Australia, reported the link between diabetes and depression. The Diabetes Miles Study, which was launched earlier this month, found 35 per cent of adults who use insulin to treat type 2 diabetes experience depression or anxiety. Type 1 diabetes is not preventable, but type 2 diabetes, which affects up to 90 per cent of all diabetes sufferers, is linked to high blood pressure, obesity and poor diet.

Did you know…...where the expression ‘touch wood’ comes from? There are a few theories around to explain the habit of wrapping your knuckles on a piece of timber – or even saying that you are – to avoid tempting fate. One is that back when the human race was more in tune with nature, it was considered good luck to tap trees in a forest, to let the tree-dwelling spirits know you were about.

Rising electricity costs prompted me to investigate Solar.

Several months ago I wrote about how satisfi ed I was with the installation of my rooftop solar system by the Uni-Industries team. It was all good news - a painless, smooth operation with no mess and no fuss.I was, at the time, anticipating a reduction in my next electricity bill but I was not expecting a huge decrease in the cost, as we had experienced almost three months of depressingly wet and grey weather.Imagine my surprise then, when I received my fi rst electricity account and read the magic words: ‘no payment required’. This was defi nitely the sweetest bill I had ever opened! Not only was I not required to make any payment but I also had a substantial credit.My solar system is well on the way to paying for itself, and fortunately I had ensured that the installation occurred while the Queensland State Government is still offering a great solar bonus feed-in tariff. It is a very generous scheme and is still running, but for how long?Are you still mulling over the idea of going solar? If so, pick up the phone now and call Uni-Industries - the experts in solar PV panel installation.- Gill MacDonald, a very happy customer

So I started to shop around. I had a number of solar companies come around; they were just salesman and didn’t seem to know what they were talking about.Uni-Industries came recommended, so I gave them a call. When their representative came around, he explained how the job would be carried out and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable straight away; I had found someone who knew exactly what he was talking about, a tradesman not a salesman. So I had Uni-Industries install a 2KW System. We went away for a few months in winter 2011, our electricity bill is usually about $1200 a year. This year we are in credit and received a cheque for $909, was I pleased, yes, I certainly was. My calculations made that investment about 25% return on my money.I have now booked Uni-Industries to upgrade my Solar, to a 5KW System.- G & C from the Sunshine Coast, Qld

Police have released the image of a man they say may be able to assist with their inquiries.

It follows the alleged assault of a 10 year-old girl at Sunshine Beach on May 17.

Police say around 8am, the girl was walking on Edward Street near Wildfl ower Street when she was allegedly grabbed on the arm by a man.

The girl pulled her arm away but was allegedly pushed to the ground by the man, sustaining a minor injury to her knee. The girl then ran from the area.

The man is described as Caucasian in appearance, in his 20s, about 175 centimetres tall, tanned complexion and with a thin build. He was wearing a grey T-shirt and black jeans.

The man is urged to make contact with police about the incident. Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A Sunshine Coast TAFE student has won the junior category of the Urban Country Music Talent Search.

Noosa resident Taylor Moss says she is incredibly proud of what she has achieved in her music career, having produced her fi rst EP at Alberts Studios in Sydney. “Winning the Urban Country Talent Search was amazing,” Moss says. “I sang two original songs from the EP I recorded last year and I now get to compete in the Queensland Champion of Champions music festival in November, which is one of the most prestigious awards an amateur country music artist can win.”

Sunshine Coast TAFE music teacher Eloise Gallagher says she’s not surprised about Moss’s success. “Taylor is one of those highly motivated individuals who comes to TAFE and makes every effort to be the best that she can be, and she lives and breathes the music industry outside of TAFE.”

She is booked solid until September with gigs throughout the Coast.

HE’S A HAPPY CAMPER

For most kids, going on school camp is part and parcel of growing up. For Mackinley

Brisbane, it’s a luxury.The Glass House Mountains

student is one of the oldest boys in Australia living with muscular dystrophy disorder and still walking without the aid of a wheelchair.

In the past, he wasn’t able to attend camp, but thanks to Glasshouse Christian College, he can now join in on the fun.

The school paid for a disability support worker (DSW) from Montrose Access to accompany Brisbane to the three-day camp.

Brisbane was able to participate in most of the camp activities, with extra support from his classmates.

Montrose Access CEO Darrel Bourke congratulated the school. “This is the fi rst case that we have heard of where a school has taken this level of initiative and funded a DSW to attend a camp with a child living with physical disability.

Coolum-based bus advertising company Go Transit has secured the contract of a further 275 buses from major transit operator Busways.

It has made the company the largest operator of transit advertising in regional Australia, covering major growth centres with a potential reach of nearly fi ve million people.

With bus advertising contracts for more than 4000 buses from Cairns in Far North Queensland to Campbelltown in NSW, and covering regional areas including the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Ipswich and Gosford, Go Transit continues its meteoric rise, following its purchase by a syndicate led by former Prime Radio senior executives Rick Chapman and Rob Gamble a year ago.

Chapman says the new contract covers a vast tract of regional NSW.

“These new markets are an

exciting addition to our business and it continues the strong growth we have experienced over the past year, which has seen our fl eet of bus contracts growing by 20 per cent while our staff levels have grown from 26 to 45 people,” he says.

“Most of these staff members are based on the Sunshine Coast at our Coolum Beach offi ce and we anticipate that we will add another 15 staff members to our team over the next twelve months.”

Go Transit now largest operator in its fi eld

“This is fantastic and goes a long way to help break down the barriers between disability and ability.”

Brisbane thought he’d be sitting on the sidelines taking photos, but he was able to play in the water and mud (carried by classmates) and participate in most activities.

Finally able to attend camp, he bonded with his classmates and grew greatly in confi dence and independence.

records.The project marked Lego’s 80th

anniversary, and involved 4000 local children who had won a contest to help build the tower, which used 500,000 Lego bricks, The Huffi ngton Post reports.

The feat broke the previous record made in 2011 in Paris with a tower measuring 103 feet (31.3 metres)

The original record, set in London in 1988 with a tower measuring just under 50 feet (15 metres) in height, has now been broken more than 30 times, the media outlet reports. AAP

It has a reputation as one of the most glamorous global celebrity events, and it seems organisers of the Cannes Film Festival have no intention of letting standards slip.

At Saturday’s red carpet screening of Australian fi lm The Sapphires, tickets stipulated ‘tuxedo’ and ‘evening dress’. Gentlemen who arrived without the appropriate neck wear had to cough up 15 euros (about $19) for a standard-issue black bow tie before being allowed entry.

Actor Guy Pearce, there for the screening of his latest fi lm Lawless, says in past years he had appeared on the rouge runway without a tie of any kind. AAP

12,500 offi cers to police London OlympicsSome 12,500 British offi cers will be deployed daily during the Olympic Games in the country’s largest ever pre-planned policing operation.

With just over 60 days to go until the event begins, police have revealed that 52 forces from around Britain will provide offi cers for the operation, which will run from June 4 until September 16, after the close of the Paralympic Games.

There will be around 12,500 offi cers on duty during peak days with 9500 operating in London, the Metropolitan force says.

A security force of more than 40,000 people, backed by a huge intelligence operation, is to guard the Games – which start on July 27 – at a cost of £553 million ($893 million). AFP

A Welsh town where English King Henry V was born is about to make history again by becoming the world’s fi rst ‘Wikipedia town’.

Visitors will be able to use smartphones to scan barcodes at points of interest in Monmouth in Wales’ south-east from Saturday, instantly bringing up a Wikipedia page about the landmark on their phones, in whatever language they are set to.

Wikimedia UK – which works to support, develop and promote Wikimedia Foundation projects such as Wikipedia – says hundreds of articles about the life and history of the town will be available online in more than 26 languages, from Hindi to Hungarian.

About 1000 different bar code plaques and stickers now decorate its schools, historical sites and even pubs. Stevie Benton from Wikimedia UK says Monmouth was chosen for its rich cultural history. AP

Koalas may be extinct in 50 years: WWF

Australia could be a capital ‘safe haven’

MANY DOING IT TOUGHER THAN EVER: SALVOS

Australia’s most marginalised are doing it tougher than ever, with

new research showing about 45 per cent of Salvation Army clients are selling and pawning possessions to make ends meet.

Almost 30 per cent can’t afford one decent meal a day, while a quarter of them are falling deeper into debt, according to a survey of 1700 of the charity’s clients.

Major Andrew Craib says the results, released in the lead-up to the Salvos’ Red Shield Appeal, show parents in particular are becoming increasingly desperate.

About half the people represented in the survey were struggling to support dependent children.

“The great concern for me is the social exclusion that starts to take place,” Craib says.

“Children will come home with an invitation to a birthday party and [parents] will think, ‘Well, they’re not going’ because they don’t want the children to be embarrassed because they don’t have a present to take or nice clothes to wear.”

More than one third or 36 per cent of respondents could not afford to pay for their children’s school outings or activities. AAP

Europe’s economic turmoil could turn Australia into a safe haven for global capital, former treasury secretary Ken Henry says.

Henry says the unfolding economic crisis in Europe will create large capital movements.

“It’s quite possible that some of that capital will come into Australia,” he says. “Australia will be seen as offering something of a safe haven.”

He says Europe’s collapse would be both good and bad for Australia. It would mean a higher valued Australian dollar, an issue already causing concern for some sectors of Australia.

“The good news side of it is, that it is possible maybe even likely, that any capital fl ight associated with problems in Europe would make it easier for Australia to fi nance its current account defi cit,” he says. AAP

The koala has become a symbol of Australia’s sad record of species decline and could be extinct within 50 years, conservationists say.

A study of dwindling species in the Indo-Pacifi c region paints a bleak future for the koala.

The 2012 Living Planet Report, by the conservation group WWF, says species in the region have declined by 64 per cent since 1970 – the worst of all the world’s regions.

WWF Australia ecologist Dr

Martin Taylor says if the rate at which koalas are vanishing is not curbed, they could be extinct within 50 years. AAP

BLACK SATURDAY VICTIMS WIN $32 MILLIONThe victims of a Black Saturday bushfi re in Victoria’s north-east have won a compensation settlement worth almost $33 million.

The 2009 Beechworth-Mudgegonga fi re destroyed 38 homes, burned 32,000 hectares and claimed two lives.

A group of residents and landholders was awarded $32.85 million in the Victorian Supreme Court on Wednesday, which amounts to 45 per cent of the total damage bill.

They claimed the fi re sparked when a tree fell across a powerline just outside Beechworth on February 7, 2009.

Small fi rms to suffer under budget: Hockey

[ N A T I O N A L N E W S ]

Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey says the federal budget has nothing to compensate small businesses for any rising business costs fl owing from the Labor Government’s carbon tax.

“There is no compensation for … over two million similar small businesses,” he told the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday.

“They may qualify for some form of compensation, but nothing will compensate their small business for the day-to-day dislocation and rising costs. Nothing will compensate their business for the carbon tax.”

Hockey says the Coalition will seek to give the Australian Taxation Offi ce a “greater understanding of the practical implications of its decisions” by expanding the number of “second commissioners” from three to seven. AAP

Australians would rather get their health information from the internet than a doctor, according to new research.

A survey commissioned by non-profi t association Epilepsy Action Australia found just 47 per cent of respondents rated a visit to the doctor as their preferred way of getting information about health conditions.

This compared to 62 per cent who said they preferred going online, 40 per cent who favoured community groups as an information source and 31 per cent who visited libraries.

Nine out of 10 respondents said they would consider taking an online course about a health condition if a loved one were diagnosed. AAP

section of tree, the group says.An eight-week trial was due

to begin in March, but the parties agreed to a settlement on the opening day.

Justice Karin Emerton ruled on Wednesday the settlement was fair.

“The aspects of settlement ... are within the range of reasonable outcomes for very diffi cult, complex litigation in which the plaintiffs are exposed to a risk of failure,” she says.

The class action group of around 80 people included all those who suffered property damage in the fi re, but more than 100 others could still be eligible to make a claim and share in the compensation.

Outside court, claimant Doleres Crisci said the fi re destroyed her Mudgegonga home and the subsequent stress took a toll on her marriage.

LIVIN’ IN THE

SEVEN TIE S

[ A G E N D A ]

FAMILYWhile the Sunshine Coast has always been popular with young families, in the 1970s they were literally younger – in 1971 the average age of fi rst marriage was 23 for males and 21 for females, in contrast to today’s median ages of 31 and 28.

In 1975 the make-up of the Australian household underwent a major shift, with the Family Law Act introducing a ‘no fault’ option for divorce. Consequently the divorce rate spiked to the highest level in recorded history – around 65,000 divorces in a year – and this national trend was also refl ected here on the Coast.

While in the ’70s people tended to get married and have kids at a younger age, on the whole the make-up of the family unit hasn’t changed that much since then. Couples with dependent children still comprise more than 30 per cent of Australian families (couples with non-dependent children account for just under 10 per cent). The percentages of couple-only families and one-parent families have increased, and today there are also plenty more de facto couples or families with step or half siblings than there were 40 years ago.

PREVIEWYou often hear people talk of the good old days, when life was calmer, groceries were cheaper and the streets were safe for kids to play on. Four decades ago, the Sunshine Coast was just beginning its transition from a small, rural township centred at Nambour, to a thriving tourist destination drawing visitors from across the country. So what did the average Coast family’s life look like in the 1970s?

WORDSJarna Baudinette

In 1971 the average age of fi rst marriage was

23for males and

21 for females. In contrast, today’s median ages are 31 and 28.

SCHOOLINGMost kids went to primary school at Caloundra, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba or Nambour state schools, and this choice depended on where their family lived, rather than the reputation of the school. Today, a huge number of the region’s public students do their senior schooling at the popular Mountain Creek State High School campus; however, it was only established in 1995. Nambour High opened its doors in 1953, with Caloundra SHS established in 1963 and Maroochydore SHS one year later. If you had teenagers in the ’70s, it is likely they would have attended one of the three.

None of our renowned private schools existed yet, so the only other options for Coast families were a handful of small Catholic schools, including the St John’s convent at Nambour, or for wealthier folks, a private education in Brisbane.

HOUSESPrior to the 1970s, most families on the Coast lived in Nambour, which until then had been the region’s civic and economic hub. In 1960 Caloundra’s Bulcock Street was still a dirt road, and the Kawana area didn’t grow until later that decade, starting with Buddina in 1967.

People paid

21¢ for a loaf of bread and

19¢ for a quart (just over a litre) of milk. Today it’s

MONEYAccording to data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in February 1975, in the previous December the average weekly wage for an Australian male was $146.90. This was a 4.9 per cent increase on the previous quarter and in that year, average wages rose a whopping 27.7 per cent.

In 1961, the Arbitration Commission had handed down a decision granting women equal pay with men doing comparable work, and while most women with young children were occupied with home-based duties, a decade later many older women, whose children were now adults, were re-entering the workforce.

The Sunshine Coast was still a fairly sleepy, coastal region, and lacked the industry of its city counterparts. Long-term locals report much of the local economy was driven by farming – sugarcane, strawberries, passionfruits and pineapples – and many young people earned money working on the farms. There was also a healthy real estate industry, given the size of the area.

Like most industrialised countries, Australia experienced a recession in the 1970s, meaning many families had to tighten the weekly budget. According to the State Library of Victoria, a loaf of bread would have set you back 21 cents, with a quart of milk (which is just over a litre) slightly cheaper at 19 cents. On the Coast,

A standard family home cost around

$40,000and had three bedrooms, one bathroom and a single lock-up garage.The most recent median price on the Sunshine Coast was $430,000.

In February 1975 the average weekly earnings for an Australian male was

$146.90.In contrast, today’s minimum weekly wage is $589.30.

Those families who had already moved closer to the Coast were mostly clustered in what is now considered central Maroochydore – the area around Aerodrome Road, Horton Park Golf Course and Sunshine Plaza.

Glennis Schindler has worked in local real estate since the late ’70s and says back then her offi ce used to have a map of “the whole town” – Maroochydore – on one wall, similar to the maps of land estates used today.

“It had little pins showing what was a house and what was a unit,” Schindler says. “If someone came in and liked Dalby Street, for example, you could just look and see what was for sale in that street.”

A standard family home cost between $35,000 and $40,000 and had three bedrooms, one bathroom and a single lock-up garage. If there were more than two children in the family the kids shared a room (remember when that was the norm?). Nobody had an entertaining area, inside or out, and backyards didn’t have fences between them. Houses certainly weren’t wired for broadband access like they are today.

Schindler says, “Telephones were fairly rare in town in those days, along with guttering.”

North of the river was mainly sugarcane, with a few shacks on the beach scattered along the way up to Mudjimba.

families did their weekly shopping at Butts supermarket, located where the Big Top is now, or in the main street of Nambour.

FUNOn the weekend, young families enjoyed a parfait at the Big Pineapple, which opened in 1971. There was a drive-in cinema in the heart of Maroochydore, where Peppertree Estate is today, and another cinema in Cotton Tree, which was later damaged by fi re.

At night, young people went to Chifl ey’s, which is now the Blue Bar at Seaforth in Alexandra Headland. Surf clubs didn’t yet have supporters’ clubs attached, but opposite the Alex Surf Club was a restaurant and resort named the Boolarong, famous as the location for Bert and Patti Newton’s honeymoon in late 1974.

Today the coastal strip between Mooloolaba and Maroochydore is littered with tourist eateries, but in those days the only other option was Peter Sun’s Chinese restaurant in the Maroochy Sands building. As well as being in the area’s fi rst high-rise, the restaurant was famous for its three-piece band and the Minties diners received as they left.

Of course, one of the most popular activities was going to the beach, either along the coastal stretch or to the family-friendly swimming hole at Cotton Tree. Some things never change.

PUTTING MORE INTO SUPER

The recent federal budget demonstrated that the government really doesn’t understand the struggle that the average person has in accumulating suffi cient funds for retirement.

The reality is that for most workers, the 12 per cent compulsory superannuation level will come too late to make a big difference on their retirement assets.

For those aspiring to self-funded retirement, they will need to make additional super contributions. The typical cycle most people encounter is mortgage repayments until some

time in their 40s, followed by an extended period of high expenses with children at school or university. This means that additional contributions are typically made nearer the end of one’s working life.

However, the limit of $25,000 on tax deductible super contributions means that the ability to make contributions closer to retirement is severely limited. Superannuation remains the most tax-effective vehicle to accumulate funds for retirement, and those seeking to build their retirement funds now must concentrate on making larger contributions earlier in their working life. For a couple, it is imperative for both parties to make the maximum contributions possible, rather than relying solely on the higher income earner.

There also needs to be a focus on building assets outside of super. This means attention needs to be paid to the basics of spending less than

you earn and investing the difference, rather than squandering it. It may also mean a modest level of investment debt to enhance further growth.

An instalment investing plan is ideal for those who can manage to save on regularly. Such a strategy ensures the funds are not available for impulse purchases, and it takes the timing risk out of investing. The risk of investing a large sum only to see it fall immediately is reduced if a monthly instalment plan is followed.

We manage many direct share portfolios that employ this dollar cost averaging strategy. New platforms have meant lower ongoing fees and complete transparency of what assets are held in your portfolio.

KIWI EXODUS

The number of New Zealanders packing their bags and heading to Australia

accelerated in April, with a new record number of annual departures at 53,462.

Some 4500 people left New Zealand for Australia in April for a net loss of 3500 in the month, according to Statistics New Zealand. That took the annual net loss to 39,800, almost 13,000 more than the same annual exodus a year earlier.

“Annual outfl ows to Australia have been at record levels since the November 2011 year,” Statistics NZ says.

People have been quitting New Zealand for Australia for years, as they seek higher wages and a better standard of living across the Tasman.

The news comes on the back of a report that has ranked New Zealand ahead of Asian powerhouses China and Japan as one of the safest Asia-Pacifi c countries in which to invest.

Dun & Bradstreet’s Global Risk Indicator (GRI) ranks New Zealand at number four in the Asia-Pacifi c region and among the top 20 safest countries globally. The GRI assesses the political, commercial, economic and external risk of doing business in 131 countries.

D&B New Zealand general manager John Scott says the country’s GRI ranking supports recent data demonstrating that conditions are improving, but the economic recovery is fragile.

“The latest GRI rankings show that New Zealand is a low-risk environment for business investment,” Scott says.

“These rankings refl ect overall optimistic conditions for Kiwi businesses. However, increasing economic woes in Greece, Spain and other Western European nations mean that a deterioration in New Zealand should not be completely ruled out.”

New Zealand’s risk exposure to the volatile Euro-zone is relatively small, with only 14 per cent of the country’s goods exported to the European Union. Recent D&B trade payment data also supports the improving trend, with payment days falling over the past year to 44.7 days in the March quarter.

D&B has given Australia the lowest risk rating in the Asia-Pacifi c region and globally, but its overall risk profi le is classifi ed as deteriorating. Hong Kong and Singapore are ranked second and third respectively in the Asia-Pacifi c, although they are both also on a deteriorating trend.

Japan is ranked fi fth in the Asia-Pacifi c, with the credit reporting agency citing its widened trade defi cit and high public debt. China is ninth, due to its “sluggish economic growth and defl ating property market”. AAP

The terms of reference for environmental impact statements (EIS) for the Sunshine Coast Airport expansion have been fi nalised. The news was last week welcomed by mayor Mark Jamieson as “an important step for the airport expansion”.

“Work will soon start on studies needed for the much-anticipated Airport Expansion Project – including the new east-west runway,” Jamieson said. “The EIS will review social, economic and environmental impacts of the expansion project so they can be assessed by the State and Commonwealth governments.

“We anticipate construction of the new runway could start by around 2015 with the new runway operational by around 2020. Of course that’s subject to approval of the EIS, and funding.”

He added that the project, an important job creator, will stimulate the economy and improve services. He has committed his council to “continue to work hard to get fi nancial backing for the project”.

FOODIES FLOCK TO NOOSA

[ M Y P A L A T E ]

Noosa Food and Wine Festival organisers were this week toasting a successful event, with more than

26,000 through the gates across the seven-day cultural extravaganza.

A spokeswoman says the event has continued to grow annually, this year attracting patrons from across Australia and overseas.

She says the ‘Cook the Chef and the Orchestra’ event featuring food icon Maggie Beer, Simon Bryant and the Queensland Arts Orchestra was a highlight, as was a performance by Sneaky Sound System.

The festival, says the spokeswoman, has become the largest of its kind in Australia attracting some of the most celebrated names in the industry, including cooks Julie Goodwin, Adam Liaw and Kate Bracks, as well as chefs Stephanie Alexander and Nicky Riemer as well as Masterchef’s Matt Preston.

Lifestyle lunches, food trails, degustation dinners and celebrity cooking demonstrations were among the attractions across the eight days, featuring the creations of chefs such as Hong Kong’s Alvin Leung, Ben Shewry from Melbourne’s Attica restaurant and Italy’s Davide Scabin.

The Festival’s fi nal night ended on a high with electro pop giants of dance music, Sneaky Sound System featuring Miss Connie and Black Angus, entertaining the crowds, with X Factor favourites Audio Vixen adding support.

JOIN THE GRAVEYARD TRAIN

They’ve appeared on Spicks and Specks and their unique style has made them a hit

across the globe. Graveyard Train describe themselves as storytellers who revel in the dark or macabre.

The initial idea, they say, was for a group of six men to sing in baritone about werewolves, vampires and ghosts over “foot stomping country music”.

Banjos, dobros as well as hammer

and chain performances all feature in the mix that is Graveyard Train.

Their appeal is incredibly wide – from the neck tattooed rockabilly in Sydney, to the farmer in Tamworth, to the derelict punk in Belgium, or the hippie in Toronto, the group’s fans are varied.

This a group that is unmistakeably different and captivating.

Graveyard Train will take the stage at Woombye Pub this Saturday.

BLACK SORROWS RETURNFor Joe Camilleri the jukebox was his “salvation” as a kid.

He says he grew up knowing every song on the radio and in his mother’s record collection, which featured artists such as Ray Charles.

It’s perhaps no surprise then the little boy – one of 10 kids – from Malta with a love of music, went on to become an icon of the music scene in his adopted home, Australia.

The Sorrows were formed in the mid ’80s following the success of Camilleri’s fi rst band, Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons.

When radio picked up the classic track Mystifi ed, The Black Sorrows really took fl ight.

During the past two decades, The Black Sorrows have played sell-out

Nambour RSL Club general manager Suzanne Long says she’s excited to welcome The Black Sorrows back to the region.

Many local girls know of my mission for comfortable shoes after starting in retail

fashion a couple of years ago. I was so desperate to ‘look my role’ and not be at the podiatrist after every styling session that I searched the internet in a search of stylish shoes that could cradle my feet instead of crush them. It was a long story with a very expensive ending. I went on to tell anyone who would listen what a fantastic business opportunity this

could be. Surely someone should being suppling us. Oops, it has already been done. Pop into Buderim’s Pure Footwear and you’ll fi nd the comfortable fashion shoe does exist. I was a bit sceptical when given this assignment but after slipping my foot into several enticing designs, I am converted.

It has happened quite insidiously – like most habits that lead to signifi cant long-term changes, a culture of caffeine has sneakily

descended upon us. Coffee is everywhere. Cafes line our streets,

McDonald’s now has a specialised section dedicated to the bean, and young children can be seen sipping on mock babyccinos.

I myself know that a good coffee is an essential aspect of my day, and going without it makes me a very sad little duck. And therein lies the potential problem.

You see, coffee is not such an innocent, benign

liquid. In fact it is a chemical cocktail that has quite an impact on our central nervous system.

Caffeine is the principal stimulant in coffee, and is largely considered harmless because it is so widely consumed. However, there are a number of ways caffeine can adversely impact our health and vitality. There is the impact on our liver, which has to constantly break down and remove the ‘toxin’. There is also an effect on our brain – we feel alert after a cup of the good stuff because caffeine binds to our adenosine receptors and essentially causes our brain to keep fi ring and fi ring, sending an ‘emergency’ message to our adrenal glands and activating a cascade of stress-response hormones.

With the primitive limbic region of our brain activated, out the window goes reason, imagination, creativity, all functions of our cerebrum or ‘higher’ brain. In this state, the body is focused on fi ghting or fl eeing, not digestion – hello digestive issues!

Daily use of caffeine can lead to the activation of a more long-term stress response and in this state our sleep is affected, our immune system is compromised, the ageing process is stimulated and a gradual but signifi cant change in our mood, mind and behaviour begins.

However, I believe the most concerning aspect is the impact caffeine can have on our overall feeling of happiness, contentment and peace. Because caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, it leads to the release of dopamine, a neuro-chemical that makes us feel good – hello addiction! Without our daily fi x, we are quite depressed. Flat, reactive, cranky and irritated.

As I sit sipping my delicious cup of coffee, I know that consuming in moderation is the key to enjoying it without suffering because of it.

The new Peugeot 508 is well worth a look for any family seeking a highly

competent, handsome-looking and well-equipped family sedan.

The 508 arrives in Australia with a big job on its hands. It effectively replaces Peugeot’s previous mid-sizer, the 407 (although they insist the 508 is a class larger than its predecessor) – which looked good on paper and also at fi rst glance, but turned out to be something of a disappointment, both in driving and sales performance.

Happily, the 508 has made a good fi rst impression.

It looks good, for a start. Less ‘out there’, perhaps, but nicely proportioned and crisply presented.

It will be offered in three basic trim levels – Active (with a tasty starting price of $36,990), Allure and GT – with a choice of sedan or wagon and a choice of 1.6-litre turbo petrol, 2-litre turbo-diesel or 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engines. Six-speed auto is standard across the range.

We tested the top-spec GT version – which as well as getting a more powerful 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine (producing 150 kilowatts and a torquey 450Nm) also gets an upgraded suspension system to match the extra grunt.

It feels solid and assured on the

Ford’s equally impressive Mondeo – although the Peugeot folk insist it’s a full-sized sedan and thus goes head to head with Aussie models like the Commodore and Falcon.

Interior space is certainly on a par with the former group, rather than the latter – while most buyers will fi nd the level of appointments and fi nishes superior to the Aussie offerings.

The 508’s diesel engine was perhaps a little on the clattery side at idle, but in general operation it was smooth and refi ned, delivering sturdy performance in town and highway driving, and importantly allowing the big Peugeot to sip a frugal 8.5L/100 kilometres over the course of almost 500 kilometres on our test. The company claims an offi cial combined fi gure of 5.7L/100 kilometres and emissions of just 150gm per kilometre, both of which are excellent.

The six-speed auto, too, blends well with this generally refi ned drivetrain – offering smooth progress

and effortless highway cruising – with the engine barely ticking over at about 1500rpm at the speed limit.

The interior, generally speaking, is thoughtfully designed. Finishes are fi rst class, seating is comfortable and can be adjusted in just about every direction and is attractively presented.

The instrument panel is classy – dials are distinct and easy to read (despite the quirky French habit of articulating speed in odd 50/70/90 kilometre per hour increments).

Our main gripe was with cabin storage – or the almost complete lack of it. Don’t French people wear sunglasses? Don’t they have mobile phones, or remote opening devices for their garage doors?

I have no idea where they keep them when they drive.

The Peugeot has any a number of considerate little touches.

In our top-line GT model, there is even a massage function for the driver’s seat, relieving back strain during those long commutes.

AUDI FLEET ON SHOW AT FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL

Audi was among the stars on show at last week’s Noosa Food and Wine Festival.

A sponsor of the culinary festival, the prestige car maker took the opportunity to showcase some of its fi nest offerings.

A fl eet of Audi vehicles driven by media, local dealer principal Scott Carse of Audi Centre Sunshine Coast and Audi chiefs took a tour of Noosa, attending the Asian Food Trail at Garnisha Spice Farm.

The hinterland roads were ideal to show off the impressive fl eet.

The Audi convoy included a new Q7 sports utility vehicle, an A6

sedan and several models of Audi’s celebrated sports coupe the TT, which has a brand-new dual-clutch sports gearbox.

The TT range also now features a completely new entry level 1.8 TFSI engine with S tronic gearbox, and for the fi rst time, the popular 2.0 turbocharged diesel variant also features this dual-clutch sports gearbox.

First introduced in 1998, the TT fi rst generation shape ran through until 2006, when the second generation was released.

Audi has been a sponsor of the Noosa International Food and Wine Festival for the past fi ve years.

FERRARI GOES GREEN

[ M O T O R I N G ]


MAKE/MODELFERRARI CALIFORNIA HELE

BOTTOM LINE $459,650 statutory and onroad costs.

HIGH emotions, low emissions.That’s the way Ferrari describes

its newest model to arrive in Australia.The just-released Ferrari California

HELE is the fi rst ‘green’ Ferrari – quite a step for the company which has patented its own shade of red.

The California HELE (pronounced Heli – as in helicopter) is the culmination of a massive

environmental focus for the world’s most famous supercar maker. It’s the fi rst showroom example of an environmental program which has seen Ferrari reduce its total corporate carbon emissions by 40 per cent over the past fi ve years.

When your standard engine confi guration is a high-performance V8 which typically revs beyond the

8000rpm mark, there is always signifi cant room for improvement.

But the arrival in Australia of Ferrari’s fi rst truly low-emission model is something of a landmark, nonetheless.

Your typical Toyota Hiace van pumps out 294 grams of CO2 per kilometre, compared to the HELE 4.3-litre, 338 kilowatt V8’s 270.

It’s hard to know what Julia Gillard might make of Ferrari’s effort to save the planet one millionaire at a time, but you have to give the Italians credit for keeping up with the times.

The HELE receives different engine cooling fans and fuel pumps, than the standard California. More noticeable is a re-mapping of the California’s seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, reducing engine revs.

Finally, and most signifi cantly, Ferrari has introduced an engine stop-start function which turns off that beautiful V8 when you stop at the lights, reducing urban fuel usage by up to 15 per cent in heavy traffi c.

The lightning-quick shifts of the seven-speed F1-style dual-clutch transmission have been altered slightly – meaning the California

selects a higher gear sooner.By a complicated series of

calculations, Ferrari estimates that all of these fuel-saving functions actually reduce the ancillary load on that fabulous V8 – meaning that buyers opting for the HELE function on their California will have an additional 25 Newton metres of torque at their disposal.

And it means that the California’s combined fuel consumption fi gure drops from 13.1L/100 kilometres to a frugal 11.5L/100 kilometres – and emissions from 299gm per kilometre to 270.

Thus justifying the high emotions, low emissions tag.

Ferrari, by the way, intends to roll outs its fi rst hybrid model by 2013.

So there it is. The fi rst Green Ferrari (even though it’s still painted a dazzling shade of red). I wonder what Bob Brown would make of that?

COMMODORE HITS THE US

[ M O T O R I N G ]

Australian-made Holdens are to make a return to the streets and racetracks of North America with the production of a new Chevrolet SS performance sedan.

A limited-production version of the yet-to-be-released VF Commodore, the car will be built at the company’s South Australian plant and exports will start next year.

Holden’s engineering executive director Greg Tyus says the new car would be specifi cally built for Nascar racing and would debut in the renowned Daytona 500.

It will also meet US private buyer demand for ‘muscle cars’.

“Holden has a great track record of

producing performance cars for General Motors and the world,” Tyus says.

“We were responsible for the design and engineering of the Chevrolet Camaro, the VE Commodore was sold as the Pontiac G8 and we are currently exporting the Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle – so we understand the needs of the North American market.”

It’s the fi rst time in 17 years an Australia-made Holden rear-wheel drive sedan will ship to the US.

Holden had a 54 per cent increase in vehicle exports from 2010 to 2011. AAP

About 30 years ago, Lamborghini showcased the LM002 off-road vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show. In 1977, Lamborghini sought to build a rough terrain vehicle for the US military – the Cheetah prototype – which was passed over for the HMMWV, later renamed the Hummer.

Rare Aston Martin sells for $1.97 millionA rare sports car has fetched more than £1.23 million ($1.97 million) at auction.

The Aston Martin was sold on Saturday at the manufacturer’s historic works in Buckinghamshire.

More than 2000 people saw the sale of the DB4GT Zagato Sanction II coupe, once owned by Tony Smith, manager of entertainer Phil Collins.

The car was one of 46 cars sold, for a collective total of £6.5 million. James Knight, the international managing director of collectors cars at Bonhams, says, “With only four Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato Sanction IIs made, ‘0198/R’ represented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire one of these fabulous cars, which will become increasingly collectible.” PA

Mike Devereux has never fi lled the fuel tank of a car powered by liquefi ed petroleum gas (LPG).

But the chairman and managing director of Holden is confi dent his company has produced an LPG-powered car capable of turning around an entrenched bias within Australia’s motoring public. Holden recently began production of its fi rst dedicated LPG Commodores. The release of the LPG Commodore range is something of a gamble for Holden. It is also one of the best offers yet made to Australian motorists to embrace LPG.

In 2010 Australians bought 7954 new, LPG-fuelled cars. A year later only 3082 were sold. AAP

That makes us the largest single dealership on the coast. How did we sell so many cars?

It helps that our brands, Volkswagen, Subaru and Mitsubishi make exceptional vehicles. It also helps that our used cars are second to none for quality and peace of mind. But the true test of success lies with our people and the way we choose to do business.

If we didn’t do good deals would we be the biggest? No way.

If our customers didn’t drive away happy would we continue to grow? No chance.

We are proud of what we do and we would love to help you with your next vehicle purchase.

So please drop in, say g’day and have the same experience as 2,723 of our other friends.

IMAGE UPGRADE FOR KIA

“A KIA? Sorry, I’m not driving a Kia. Forget it.”

You could say my wife was less than impressed when I told her what was to be our week’s test vehicle – and that it would be available for her use while I was away for a couple of days.

She’s no car snob, but her memories of the Korean budget brand clearly aren’t all that fond.

But times have changed. And so has Kia. It has gone from being the very cheap, mostly cheerful, upstart to a very ambitious, very energetic force on the Aussie car market.

And leading the way is the fl agship model, the Optima. The futuristic styling is confronting and attractive at the same time.

Inside, the story is much the same. Equipment levels are dazzling for a car with such a modest price tag. Our test car came with full leather trim, dual sunroof, fl ashy alloys with low-profi le tyres and sports body kit; dual-zone air-conditioning, auto headlights (with washer function); USB and iPod connectivity; remote entry smart-key, a multi-function steering wheel (with gearshift paddles) and heated, electrically-adjusted front seats. The driver’s seat even has three memory positions and an internal cooling function – a

[ M O T O R I N G ]

$150,000. The Kia? Try $36,990. And that’s for the fl agship Platinum model.

OK, so there must be a catch. Actually, it ticks most of the boxes. Cabin space was an area in which the Kia delivered beyond expectations.

The Kia’s suspension is a bit of a mixed bag. In handling terms, it’s quite impressive – turning in nicely and generally remaining fl at and composed in most situations.

The ride, however, can be sharp on occasion, with a tendency to crash over any major road imperfections.

Another bonus was the Optima’s drivetrain. The 2.4-litre, four-cylinder

BOTTOM LINE $36,990.

engine might seem, on paper, to be a little underdone for a car of this size – but at no stage did it feel underpowered on our test. It pumps out 148 kilowatts and 250 Newton metres of torque – hardly dazzling fi gures but, in combination with a smooth and intuitive six-speed auto, it certainly manages to get the job done.

And despite our test being conducted in mostly city conditions, it returned a more-than-acceptable 11.6L/100 kilometres. The offi cial fi gure is 7.9 – which puts it ahead of Aussie rivals like the Commodore.

There were a couple of small clues to the Optima’s cost-conscious heritage. Dash plastics are generally hard and things like carpets are a little cheap-looking.

And what of my wife? Well, she did change her tune somewhat once she’d spent some time behind the wheel of the Kia.

“Actually it’s really quite nice,” she conceded. “But I wouldn’t want to buy one. I’m not driving a Kia.”

Perhaps she might take a little more convincing.

feature we’ve only previously seen in cars like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series.

The Optima also has a reversing camera and even the trip computer is among the best we’ve seen.

Our test car also boasted leather seats with eight-way electric adjustment for the driver, and all smartly trimmed and sculpted with the rear external passenger pews having the same bucket-style fi nish as many high-end Euro machines.

So, how much would you expect to pay for a car with so many goodies? Well, if it had a German badge you’d be forking out well in excess of

REFINED TO THE MAX Lexus has launched what it says is its most effi cient GS yet – the all-new second generation GS 450h.

Featuring an advanced petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain, Lexus is confi dent the all-new GS 450h will become the highest rated vehicle in its class in the Australian Government’s Green Vehicle

[ M O T O R I N G ]

Guide when it launches in June.Lexus says the GS 450h’s

hybrid powerplant sips just 6.3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres, depending on conditions – 20 per cent less than the outgoing model – while CO2 emissions can be as low as 147grams per kilometre.

The frugal Lexus develops a combined power output of 254kW,

capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in just 5.9 seconds.

GS 450h also features greater space and onboard technology than the model it replaces.

An innovative stacked hybrid battery helps liberate 45 per cent more space for the boot, increasing from 320 to 465 litres, while the redesigned chassis delivers greater interior space for occupants.

The GS 450h will also be available with all-wheel steering, reportedly the fi rst hybrid of its kind.

It’s available with an advanced Pre-Collision safety System (PCS), a Driver Fatigue Monitor camera, and a complementary Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC), which now functions at all speeds.

A Blind Spot Monitor comes standard to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes, and an expanded Head Up Display (HUD) unit can now display road speed, cruise control, gear position, turn-by turn navigation and tachometer.

In keeping with the recently

launched GS 250 and 350 range, the GS 450h will also feature an expanded line-up featuring Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury models – replacing the previous single Sports Luxury.

Lexus Australia chief executive Tony Cramb says the all-new GS 450h is a technological showcase.

“This second generation GS 450h builds on a highly awarded fi rst generation, improving it in almost every area, including space, effi ciency, onboard technology and value,” Cramb says.

COVER STORY

LAND OF

PREVIEWFrom pretty waterfront parcels to big bushland blocks, there are some good value land options opening up across the Coast for buyers ready to snap them up.

WORDSJulie Schomberg

Eric Werne, RE/MAX Property Services

House and land packages available now start under $400,000 for a three-bedroom home

DREAMSFor many people, the idea of home

ownership works from the ground up. They want to choose a location, buy a

block of dirt and build a house to live in or rent out. After a few years of subdued land sales on the Sunshine Coast during the economic downturn, there is a crop of affordable and prestige blocks on the market and the certainty of more to come as major developments take off, from Maroochydore to Kawana to Caloundra. So what are the important factors for budding land owners to consider?

Personal circumstances come fi rst, industry experts tell MWP. Buyers should examine their motivation and fi nancial situation. Owning a block of land may be a lifestyle decision, such as a young couple intending to build their perfect home for raising a family, or it may be an investment decision, such as a retiree seeking cash fl ow as the landlord of a newly-built home for tenants.

Once buyers have worked out their goals and how much they can spend, it’s time for the legwork of doing research and consulting market experts. Information to take into account includes locations; price points; lot sizes and types; changes in land values past, present and predicted; and supply and demand trends.

A new analysis by Mooloolaba-based property advisory service Herron Todd White reveals trends in residential land on the Coast over 20 years. It fi nds the ranges of market prices and lot sizes have

widened considerably since the early 1990s. It also shows that

land sales numbers dropped signifi cantly last year and

now seem to be running well below the rate

of underlying demand.

Practising valuer Jason Cleary, a director of HTW, has done valuations on the majority of large master-planned communities on the Coast as well as smaller development sites, from Pelican Waters, to Kawana Waters, to Noosa Springs. Cleary says the value of land is determined by demand and supply, with variations between lots defi ned by views, privacy, slope, shape, expected building costs and proximity to services and amenities.

The Coast now has a greater diversity of lifestyle and investment opportunities, according to Birtinya-based property investment consultant Mal Cayley. “There’s been a real change in the nature of

the product being delivered here,” he says. “There are different land sizes and prices, different types of dwellings and covenants which control the look and feel of estates.”

Blocks are available across the coastal strip and the hinterland. They range from a smaller waterfront block at Maroochydore’s Sunshine Cove to a bigger bushland block at Pathways at Landsborough.

Eric Werne is from RE/MAX Property Services, Caloundra and has been selling real estate in Caloundra since 1999. He says government charges and holding costs seemed to make land too expensive on the Coast. “We’re going through an adjustment now, where developers


40.indd 1 5/22/2012 3:45:41 PM

You can build specifi c to need, whether that’s the needs of the tenant market to maximise rent or your needs as an owner-occupier

have dropped their prices to meet the market.”Viewpoint, a 41-lot estate on the ridge at

Aroona with sea views or bush outlooks, is an example. “It had strong interest but slow sales until late last year, when family buyers started moving in as prices adjusted,” Werne says. “House and land packages available now start under $400,000 for a three-bedroom home. The smallest lot is 540 square metres and the biggest is 1662 square metres.”

Parklakes is a master-planned community over 82 hectares adjoining forest and caneland at Bli Bli. About 350 dwellings already house mostly owner-occupiers and 23 land sites are now available with prices from $195,000 to $238,000 and sizes from 600 to 1200 square metres. “People who come here are looking for lifestyle,” says spokesperson Rob Midgley. “It’s mostly young families and a few grey nomads wanting bigger blocks for their caravans.” Rob noticed a dip in the market this year but says buyers are attracted to the recreational infrastructure such as sports fi elds, fi sh-stocked lakes and parks.

Cayley, director of Investor Property Sunshine Coast, sees budding land owners and landlords focusing on new house and land packages in central areas that are convenient to jobs, transport and other facilities, or close to emerging CBDs. “There are many advantages of land developments like Brightwater (Mountain Creek), Birtinya Island (Wurtulla) or Bells Reach (Caloundra West),” he says.

New neighbourhoods have new infrastructure and standards of living. “You can build specifi c to need, whether that’s the needs of the tenant market to maximise rent or your needs as an owner-

occupier,” Cayley says. “When you build you only pay stamp duty on the land so if you have an effi cient builder, the net cost can be less than the stamp duty on an established dwelling. You have true value in new kitchens, bathrooms, fi xtures and fi ttings compared to the maintenance required on an older home. From a tax point of view, the depreciation benefi ts max out at 10 years so the newer a home, the better the depreciation. You also get a premium rent for new properties, so that improves your cash fl ow position.”

What about the disadvantages? Cayley says it can be challenging for people without experience to buy land and build off a plan. “You can’t see it or touch it and you’re not moving into a home straight away.”

He says buying a block of land on its own and simply waiting for capital growth isn’t common among ‘mum and dad’ investors in recent years. “You may get good capital growth but land has holding costs along the way. Creating income on the land by building and putting in a tenant may at least improve your cash fl ow position and make it easier to unlock equity to build your portfolio and wealth. Wealth comes from executing your plan, not one property.”

LAND TRENDSA new analysis by Mooloolaba-based property advisory service Herron Todd White has taken a look at trends in residential land on the Sunshine Coast over the past 20 years. Its fi ndings include:• Residential construction activity has

correlated with our population growth. Annual building approvals between 1991 and 2011 peaked in the population growth years of the early 1990s and early 2000s. “There has been an average of 3700 new dwellings approved per year, consisting of 2500 new houses and 1200 new units.”

• The number of new land sales seems to be running well below this rate of underlying demand. Looking at sales of vacant residential lots up to 2400 square metres, the latest high was in 2007 when almost 3000 lots sold and a 20-year low was recorded last year with just 663 lots sold.

• There has been a signifi cant shift in the location pattern of new land sales away from the former Noosa Shire towards the former Caloundra City, although the former Maroochy Shire had 62 per cent of land sales last year.

• Market prices for land have widened since 1991. In 2011, the purchase price range for mainstream residential lots on the Coast was between $170,000 and $575,000. The median land price almost tripled between 2001 and 2004 to $220,000, then levelled off to $247,750 by last year. On a monthly basis, the median was $239,000 in March 2012 and appears steady.

• In 2011, there was clustering of sales of land priced below $300,000, but “the strength of other categories indicates the Sunshine Coast land market maintains a wide spectrum of price points”. • The number of land sales has dropped from the fi rst-home buyer-induced levels of 2009 to a trend of about 60 a month from the start of 2011 to March this year.

ADALUMA SELLS

Mark Unkel from Elite Lifestyle Properties has had some big sales under the hammer recently,

and last Thursday’s auction at 5 Adaluma Avenue, Buddina was no exception. “We had fi ve registered bidders and the home sold to a local couple for $3,112,500,” Unkel says.

The auction drew a crowd of around 60 people, but this number had dwindled to two parties – the buyers and sellers – almost two hours later. “Gordon Macdonald from Jason Andrew Auctioneers kicked off the bidding at 5.30pm and the gavel went down at 7.20pm,” Unkel says. “It was a long one, but the result was there and that’s what matters.”

Unkel says he has been making a habit of booking twilight auctions for his top-end listings, in order to showcase the property in a different way, and although the majority of Thursday night’s crowd headed home to have some dinner before a result was achieved, Unkel says the strategy has been fairly well received.

“The house presented beautifully and we’ve had more than 160 people go through over the past fi ve weeks.”

Unkel says the buyers chose the property because they loved the idea of living on the riverfront but still being able to walk to the beach.

NEWS & VIEWS

Latest REIQ report points to a turnaround for Queensland.

The Queensland property market has turned around and posted positive results

for the fi rst time in 18 months, according to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ).

The REIQ March quarter median house price report found property prices across the majority of Queensland increasing with sales numbers also up – in some cases signifi cantly.

REIQ CEO Anton Kardash says optimism is fi nally returning to the market. ‘‘Three months ago when we analysed the December quarter data it seemed to indicate we had reached the bottom of the market because prices were stabilising,’’ he says. ‘‘We predicted at the time that the March quarter data would be even more positive and it certainly is that. Property prices have grown in most areas and some regions have

A local builder made its mark at the 2012 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards late last week.

Maroochydore’s unique mixed-used development Emporio has recorded six sales in as many days.

Sales executive Nicholas Criss says the sales blitz may be due to a combination of factors, including the fi nal days of the Queensland Government’s Building Boost Grant, which ended on April 30.

“Potentially this spurred a fl urry of interest in the property market to take advantage of the grant in the past month,” Criss says. “Regardless, we didn’t anticipate such a high volume of interest these past few weeks and recording six sales in six

The Sunshine Coast experienced an increase in sales activity – up 24 per cent compared with the December quarter. REIQ Sunshine Coast zone chair Lloyd Edwards says there has been an increase of buyers through open homes as well as growing numbers prepared to make offers. ‘‘We are starting to see a slight tightening of stock, especially for properties priced between $400,000 and $500,000 where demand is greatest,’’ he says.

‘‘An interesting trend is a possible paradigm shift for buyers in the $1 million-plus price bracket. Whereas before many weren’t prepared to pay over the $1 million mark, many are now open to paying $1.2 million or $1.3 million if it secures the sale.’’

days is further testament to the quality product on offer at Emporio.”

Investors and owner-occupiers have bought apartments at Emporio and Criss adds buyers from all sectors of the market have been attracted to the development.

Emporio features a unique blend of apartment living, offi ce space, restaurants and cafes. The development incorporates seven individual buildings based around a street called ‘Emporio Place’ and is located right in the heart of Maroochydore’s new CBD. Stage two apartments are now selling from $314,000.

HOROSCOPESARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 When it comes to hobbies and recreational activities, try something new and exciting this weekend. But communicate your ideas clearly – otherwise there’ll be chaos and confusion.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 All sorts of domestic activities are favoured, as the moon moves through your home zone. But avoid communicating about money, as things could get complicated and confusing.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 Communication will be somewhat scrambled this weekend. What you say – and what others hear – may be two completely different things. Take the time to explain yourself carefully.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 This weekend, use your intuition to come up with new solutions to stubborn old problems. Plus pay close attention to your dreams – are they trying to tell you something?

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 The moon’s in your sign, so it’s your weekend to shine. Group activities are favoured, and it’s also a fabulous time to extend your peer group to include a creative new crowd.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 Check and double-check all information that comes your way. Tricky Neptune aspects could scramble your antennae and lead to mix-ups and misinformation spoiling your weekend.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Attached Librans – an element of surprise will add sparkle to your relationship this weekend. Singles – jump out of your comfort zone and look for someone who is not your usual type.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Don’t believe everything you hear – especially from a child, teenager or friend. Check the facts. Perhaps they’ve been rather elastic with the truth, or have you misunderstood them?

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 If a family member tells you something, check the facts first before you pass it on. If you misconstrue their meaning, you could end up with a misunderstanding on your hands.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 You’ve got so much to do, and so little time. Stop complaining Capricorn! Your motto for the weekend comes from birthday great John Wayne: “Quit your bellyaching and saddle up.”

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 Positive moon/Uranus aspects increase your energy levels – and your devil-may-care attitude. Just remember there is a fine line between being spontaneous and being reckless.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 Are you being an inspired dreamer – or a delusional schemer? Your imagination is firing this weekend Pisces, but don’t get carried away with ideas that have no basis in reality.
