F O O D & B E V E R A G E O P E R A T I O N SAt the time of acquisition, the Food and Beverage business was trading at an operating loss of ~$400,000 p.a.

The Food and Beverage offering has been through a number of changes since acquisition which include:

• Refurbishment of the facilities to provide a modern offering for customers

• Market analysis to consider the customers being serviced

• Analysis as to the demographic and offerings that would appeal to the greater customer base available

• Revision of the menus to offer a variety and price point that suited the clientele and general demographic

The marketing of the Food and Beverage element has been revitalised with significant use of the following:

• Social Media – Facebook, Instagram

• Paradise Palms website

• Cairns Post – regular front page advertising

• Direct marketing emails

The operation of this business has improved significantly over this period with revenue increasing 17% over the last 12 months and the business now generating an operating profit of $330,000 p.a.

The functions and weddings side of the business has been steadily growing since the acquisition through various advertising undertaken in publications such as:

• MICE Magazine

• My QLD Wedding

• Australian Bride Magazine

The functions and weddings aspect of the business is anticipated to significantly further improve over the coming 12-24 months through market recognition from advertising undertaken.

Prior to the acquisition, Paradise Palms was in receivership and the functions and wedding aspects of the business were impacted heavily as:

• Marketing was not being undertaken to promote these events

• Potential clientele were not booking events due to concerns as to the future of the venue and that their event would occur at the premises

This has been a two year rebuilding process to re-develop market awareness and gain the confidence of the clientele to book these events.

Since the acquisition of the property the golf operations were significantly upgraded to provide a point of difference compared to other courses within the region. In order to increase and sustain revenue streams a marketing plan was implemented to provided a greater awareness of Paradise Palms and establish it as the premier golf course.

With an Australia wide reduction of 6% in membership retention, Paradise Palms has maintained its membership revenue and has grown the golf business. This has been achieved through a combination of pristine golf course conditions, state of the art golf carts, luxurious clubhouse facilities and an extensive variety of food and beverage offerings for it’s members and guests.

Over the past two years, Paradise Palms has invested heavily in reconditioning the golf course to bring it back to its championship status. Paradise Palms has engaged with 1991 British Open Champion Ian Baker-Finch to assist in various re-design elements as noted below.

Improvements were undertaken on the course include:

• Tree and vegetation removal programs allowing for better air flow on course and improve the maintenance costs associated with the greens;

• Significant fairway and green renovation programs undertaken bi-annually to promote root growth and enhance playing surfaces;

• Investment in new drainage and irrigation to improve the maintenance aspects of the course and general operating costs;

• Ian Baker-Finch assisted with the re-design of the bunkers and tees to reduce maintenance costs and improve playability. As part of this he determined a strategy for the removal of a number of bunkers and conversion to grass bunkers (36 in total, 14 have been removed and a further 22 expected over the coming 12 months) to reduce maintenance costs incurred by heavy rains producing bunker damage during the wet season; and

• Development of two nursery greens which enables for any damage or diseases that may affect the greens to be repaired quickly and efficiently by maintenance staff.

The improvements undertaken were done from two aspects being to reduce the maintenance costs associated with the course and improve the experience for the golfer.

The table below represents a summary of the membership numbers by category for the last 2 years:

Platinum 111 155

Gold 96 64

Lifestyle 392 166

Youth 5 8

EBITDA -1,060,283 -970,328

• Platinum - $3,200 p.a. with no green fees

• Gold - $800 p.a. with $50 green fees

The Function and Conference business is seen as a growth market as the smaller conferencing groups of 10 – 40 participants are producing repetitive business. This is promoted via Conferencing Booking Agents, MICE Agents, Government Wholesalers, Government Departments and Websites including the Paradise Palms website.

Prior to the current ownership there had been a downturn in Wedding promotions and advertising. With most weddings being booked 18 months in advance the turn around of this business should begin to show in the first part of 2018.

There is extensive marketing in place in specialised wedding publications, websites and through wedding planners offering Paradise Palms as a wedding venue.

Paradise Palms was acquired in August 2015 and has gone through a number of changes since acquisition, which include:

• Refurbishment of the golf course to return it to championship status and subsequently the ranking to ‘Top 50 Golf Courses in Australia’;

• Re-branding operations and marketing campaigns to re-establish the business within the function and wedding markets and further emphasis of the property within local markets as the regions premier golf course;

• Refurbishment of the clubhouse facilities with $680,000 spent;

• Updating the plant and equipment – addition of new state of the art golf carts and on course maintenance equipment. Over $1million was spent in acquiring new plant and equipment for the golf course as most equipment held at acquisition was aged significantly and the costs to maintain exceeded the benefit in retaining the assets. The Golf Carts are state of the art with built in GPS units allowing for course management i.e. can restrict access to areas of the course as well as providing the golfer course information.

• The investment in golf course improvements was undertaken with the view to managing the maintenance costs associated with the course and in particular the greens and bunkers.

• Improvements to the golf course to manage costs and playability with $546,000 in expenditure.

The following capital improvements have been made since acquisition:

• Repainting and decorating the clubhouse interior ;

• Re-carpeting and renovations to function rooms;

• Replacement of equipment and kitchen appliances including bench fridges, gas cooktops, pizza and sandwich benches, ovens, dishwashers;

• Upgrade to furnishing throughout the clubhouse.

The Moore Road extension was undertaken to:

• Enable the sub-division of the development parcels

• Create an alternate access point to the clubhouse whilst also alleviating traffic issues that can arise at the highway intersection in particular in peak traffic periods

The golf course was also re-configured at the time of construction of the Moore Road extension as 1 hole was removed resulting in a requirement to re-align a number of holes within the course.

Significant works have been undertaken in relation to the development sites such that they are largely shovel ready for construction to commence.

D E V E L O P M E N T O P P O R T U N I T YThe site contains 3 precincts for future residential development in multiple stages offering a wide variety of styles, uses, configurations and densities. Current planning approvals exist for up to 1,487 apartments over the 3 sites and the opportunity is a blank canvas for any combination of resort, holiday apartment, retirement, hotel and or permanent living.

The proposed site density is 400pph and as such the 3 precincts can accommodate the following:

T H E D U N E S - H 13.86 Hectares

The Dunes offers the future possibility for unique concept development located in the central part of the golf course which would ideally suite a holiday resort, hotel or apartments. A reconfiguration of the golf course would be required to make this site available but the resulting position and aspect on 4 sides would be ground breaking for its amenity and offering. The site could accommodate up to a further 600 apartments approx. in multiple stages of a lower rise of 3-4 levels. Designs have not been commissioned for this sector.

O R C H I D N O R T H - H 23.678 Hectares

Orchid North is proposed to be a mixed-use development precinct incorporating a mix of permanent and holiday rental apartments. This site has been master planned to accommodate approx. 600 apartments in 15 stages of 3-5 levels. This precinct is also ideal for a Retirement Village or a Holiday Resort. The area is large enough and has good separation to incorporate different uses as the market requires and as the market changes from year to year. Flexibility and versatility is this property’s greatest asset. Small retail services could also be incorporated into this area if demand requires.

K I N G S C L I F F P E A K - H 31.76 Hectares

This precinct is the highest development site and has been master planned to accommodate luxury apartments of a 1, 2 and 3-bedroom configuration totaling 281 units in 5 stages of 4 -7 levels. Most units will enjoy panoramic views over the golf course and out to the ocean. It is envisaged that this development would be of more prestige targeting owner occupiers or high-end rentals.
