One last opportunity. Two different points of view.
102 702 “It will be absolutely perfect for entertaining. Just imagine,
140 square metres of terrace! And our guests will be able
to practically reach out and touch the water. He’ll just love
the built in barbecue (and it’ll keep him away from my
marble bench tops and Meile appliances). With 3
bedrooms and more than 230 square metres of internal
living space, we’ll hardly know when friends and family
stay over. I just can’t wait to see his reaction.”
“When she sees the views from the 7th floor, I just know
she’ll feel the same way I do. Ocean and river from
three balconies? Well, why shouldn’t we spoil ourselves
a little? She’ll love the individual interior design too
(by one of Melbourne’s top interior designers, no less).
And with 3 bedrooms and 240 square metres of indoor
space, it’ll be perfect for guests. Yes, I think she’s in for
a very pleasant surprise.”
SOME FINER POINTS EVERYONE CAN AGREE ONRiva apartments 102 and 702 both offer absolute waterfront living, right in the heart of the CBD. Both come with over $35,000 of bonus interior design features. Both will attract discerning buyers who understand the rare opportunity that Riva offers.

REAL ESTATE AGENT INDEX
You only have to drive around our beautiful seaside communities here on the Coast to fi nd an eclectic mix of residences. A combination of traditional and quirky beach houses strung out along streets that are now considered prime beachside real estate. Representing the original beach shack, these homes usually feature timber fl oors, retro kitchens, panel walls and date back to the early ’60s and ’70s – all just a stroll from the beach. Th ere’s recently been a surge in the popularity of these properties as savvy buyers snap up these old houses with the vision of creating their dream home by the sea. Some have already undergone major and minor renovations, and thankfully, there seems to be a real eff ort to retain the charismatic and authentic beachside look when it comes to the design and aesthetics. Th e result is a collection of chic and contemporary seaside residences, off ering the ultimate beachside lifestyle. We investigate the trend in our cover story, which shows that there is plenty of work to be done, but many willing buyers ready to do it.

cover story
When it comes to the value of a home, ‘location, location, location’ has long been the catchcry of the property industry. On the Sunshine
Coast, with demand for beachside addresses rising, renovation jobs are increasing, as established owners and new buyers cling on to properties that are within walking distance of the ocean.
Beachside suburban streets in Maroochydore, the Mooloolaba canals, Buddina, Currimundi and the Caloundra beaches, where housing mushroomed 30 and more years ago, are getting a makeover as fi bro and brick and tile houses are modernised and enlarged.
Th ese houses, many of them dating back to the 1970s, might be small and have none of the trappings of the designer homes that have gone
up in the region in the past decade, but they have one
seriously big attraction – location.
Th e appeal is the same as it was for
those who fi rst began fi lling the streets,
one by one moving back from the ocean. Th eir old and oft en tired homes are now being renovated for reasons of lifestyle more than as investments.
Glennis Schindler of Vic Murphy Real Estate, who grew up in the area, remembers when the pocket of Maroochydore from Alexandra Parade west to Maud Street and Sugar Road began to fi ll up in the ’70s.
“Streets running off Wrigley and Parker streets were among the fi rst to be developed near the Maroochydore beaches, so that area is now up for renewal,” she says. “People want the position, so they turn the houses into something they want to live in. Renovate an old house in a position near the beach and you can have it all.”
Homes from this vintage, regardless of address, shared common design features – three bedrooms,
one bathroom and a single lock-up garage or a carport.Today, renovators can add an ensuite, make space for
an offi ce or even a fourth bedroom, build in a lock-up garage if there is space, and have a home for the new century in a long-prized location.
Shane Purssell of First National Real Estate in Maroochydore remembers the last block of vacant land in the area selling for $12,000 in 1983. “Land values now make [renovating] worthwhile,” he says. “A lot of people are thinking of knocking over the house and rebuilding on land that is a kilometre back from the beach.
“You still have to pay up to the half-million-dollar mark to get close to the beach, but in these areas, the land value makes it worth building and there is little chance of a renovator overcapitalising.
In older Sunshine Coast suburbs, once the ‘for sale’ signs go down, the scaffolding pops up. And the renovation trend is likely to continue, as humble beachside homes are snapped up in a market hungry for lifestyle coupled with capital growth.

“It is hard to overcapitalise when you buy for $400,000, spend $200,000 on a renovation and sales in the area are around $900,000. It leaves a margin for error and is much less risky,” he adds.
Shane Strong of Go Gecko Caloundra says it is not all about capital gain, although there is little doubt there will be capital growth while enjoying a lifestyle decision.
“Buyers who can do their own work or renovate will certainly be better off down the track with capital growth, but basically people are going for the location close to the beach and the shops,” he says.
“You will fi nd this sort of thing all up and down the coast – the typical ’70s properties that are not huge but in fantastic locations.”
Many agents are fi nding that it is long-term Sunshine Coast residents who are keen to fi nd a place by the sea, even if it means undertaking a renovation.
Paul and Kate Boyce are typical renovators. Th ey lived in Bli Bli and later at Dulong for a number of years before fi nding just what they were looking for at Point Cartwright – an aff ordable home, even if it had seen better days, that put them right beside the beach.
“We had only ever built new homes but we really wanted to be able to just walk to the beach rather than pack up the car to go,” Kate says. “ Th e only way to get into this great location was to buy a 30-year-old house and give it a facelift .
“Standing on the small landing at the back of the two-storey property, we could hear the waves crashing on the beach and that really sold it to us.”
Th e renovation was a complete success and eight weeks later, what once fronted the street as a the archetypal ’70s brick box with a tiled roof and a few straggling natives out front, had become a contemporary white rendered home with a tasteful Colorbond roof behind a new fence.
Th e Boyces replaced the small landing with a large deck off the kitchen and added a tastefully landscaped inground pool. “Th e money spent on rendering the outside immediately took 25 years off the age of the house,” Kate says. “Th e problem with renovating an old house is that there weren’t
ensuites built back then. Th ere was an existing two-car garage, which we still use.”
Th e bottom level has been tiled and painted and now has a small bathroom, large family room and a separate study. Th e upper level was also given a complete facelift to turn the distinctly dated three bedrooms, bathroom, lounge, dining and kitchen into a stylish living space.
“We still hope to build in the garage downstairs to accommodate a master bedroom, walk-in robe and ensuite and then add a carport for the two cars,” Kate says. “ It is a couple of minutes’ walk to the beach and it wasn’t until the renovation was over and we actually moved in that we also discovered it was within a couple of minutes’ walk to the river.
“We were so focused on getting close to the beach that we were completely blinded to this fact. It was an added bonus.”
A property in nearby Buddina for sale through Vic Murphy Real Estate off ers a similar opportunity for someone to do what the Boyces have done with
their home. Th e 25-year-old solid three-bedroom house has an offi ce and just one bathroom, but huge potential for a complete renovation.
“Create an entertaining area, paint, tile and landscape and the renovation can be done without overcapitalising as the home is opposite are canal front,” Glennis says. “Th e property is within walking distance of the river, the beach and Point Cartwright’s walking tracks as well as Kawana Shoppingtown.”
Although undoubtedly scarce, the opportunities to relocate to the beaches and renovate do exist, as a drive through, say, Maroubra or Gardak streets in Maroochydore or one of the Cotton Tree avenues prove.
Mark and Shirley Horne moved to Dalby Street in Maroochydore, aft er living on a Palmwoods acreage for more than a decade while their children were small. “When they became teenagers I was spending most of my time driving them to the beach,” Shirley says. “We rented
for a year while we looked around and waited for something to come up.”
Th ey bought a rundown three-bedroom, single-bathroom house with a single lock-up garage that had been built in the early ’70s.
“We used the garage to extend the bedrooms so our two teenagers could have a more space as well as an area where they could have their friends come over,” Shirley says. “We then renovated the bathroom and basically converted one end of the house to a teenager’s retreat.
“At the opposite end, we added a new room to the other side of a big deck so that we had a large bedroom with walk-in robes and ensuite for us.”
Th e Hornes have been taking their time with the renovation, which has also included painting the exterior, fencing and landscaping. “Th e best part is that we are close to everything,” Shirley says. “We can walk to the beach and walk to Sunshine Plaza. It is really central and where people want to be.”
A similar three-bedroom home with one bathroom and a carport in nearby Allambie Street recently sold for $460,000.
Around the corner in Wrigley Street, Greg Collis of Platinum Properties has listed a renovator where the work has already been done. Th e home is over three levels and now has fi ve bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms, an ensuite with spa and a double lock-up garage as well as a carport.
It has also had an interior facelift to take it out of the ’80s and into the noughties.
Greg says that there are some homes that could be gutted or demolished but would still be feasible to renovate or rebuild to then sell.
“Some of the renovators are very savvy about what the market is wanting,” he says. “Th ey seem to be doing a lot of homework before proceeding, fi rst picking the location that will give a return. Some will add a new kitchen and bathroom but most gut the inside and start with a blank canvas.”
He says there are also four-bedroom and two-bathroom houses that were built on bigger blocks around Alexandra Headland and Buddina that would get a good return aft er spending only $50,000 to $70,000.
In the older parts of the Mooloolaba canals, Ann Jelf of Raine & Horne has a 1970s property that includes two blocks of land with 37 metres of waterfront, as well as a four-bedroom house.
“Th e property has been tightly held within the family vault for over 20 years and the owner is now in his 80s,” she says. “It is a real renovation prospect or it could be knocked down for a rebuild. Th ere are quite a few old

places around the canals of Mooloolaba and also at Minyama. Some are ready to be knocked over, but they do give an opportunity to live in the heart of things.”
Michael Knights, of Re/Max, says that buying a rundown house in a prime position oft en means getting the house for free once the land price is paid, so buyers not looking to renovate can readily aff ord to knock the house down and build again. “You pay in the mid-$400,000 range and you get the house for free. You can renovate it or knock it over and build, but they don’t come up a lot,” he says.
He has a property for sale on top of the hill at Alexandra Headland which has ocean view potential if the current old house was demolished. “I have sold a few properties in that pocket where people have bought little old shacks and done rebuilds, or where they have lift ed the house and built under.
One little old chamferboard place was lift ed up, put on stilts and turned into a fi ve-bedroom palace,” he says. “Th ey paid $430,000 and it’s now worth about $900,000. It’s hard to overcapitalise in these areas. People are buying for the land just to get in there.”
He has also found that the “surfer’s beach shack” he is showing in Alexandra Headland is attracting huge local interest. “About 80 per cent of the people are nearby neighbours and the keenest already live within 500 metres of the house,” he says. “All want to stay in the area and either want a renovator to sell or to land bank.”
Ken Guy Maroochydore’s Chris Pace says there are still heaps of old houses around the beachside suburban
pockets. “Most of them have three bedrooms and one bathroom, some have only two bedrooms, but they are all smaller homes that, because they are in a prime location, are worth renovating,” he says.
He has a Centenary Crescent, Maroochydore, home for sale that started out as the traditional three-bedroom, one-bathroom home, but aft er two years of renovation, now has four bedrooms, a study nook, two bathrooms
and an inground pool. Best of all, it is only a 10-minute walk from the beach.
Interested buyers, he has noticed, are mainly locals looking for a way to live closer to the beach.
“Th ere are few vacant lots, so the best way to get there is to fi nd an older beach shack and fi x it up to make it modern,” he says. “A lot of people living on the Sunshine Coast want to live near the beach and to do that, this is generally the way you have to go.
“Ten years down track, a lot of these streets in areas
such as Maroochydore and Buddina, will have been renovated and the whole area will look fresh and new.”
Not surprisingly many of the old properties are tightly held, oft en by the original purchasers, so that on the rare occasions a renovator in a beachside street comes on to the market, it is quickly snapped up.
“Th ere are a lot of original home owners still in these areas,” Chris says. “Some homes have been investment properties for Brisbane families who have used them as weekenders and have passed them down through the family, so they are not coming up for sale.”
In the south, Julie Shirvington of Henzells Agency has found that while there are plenty of older houses within walking distance of the beach in Currimundi and Dicky, Moff at and Shelley beaches, they only come on to the market “from time to time”. “Th ey are scarce,” she says. “Th ese are long-established homes occupied by long-term residents who plan to stay there forever.”
If you can secure a beachside home there are plenty of practical reasons to consider a renovator. HIA chief economist Harley Dale says the time is right to fi nd skilled tradesman prepared to work on renovations.
“Th e weakening of industry conditions in recent years has freed up skilled labour a bit, so if anyone is contemplating doing a renovation, they are going to be better off now than they were this time last year or even in 2006 and 2007,” he says. “Th ey are going to fi nd a bit easier to get a tradesperson. We are probably not going to see trade rates growing at the fast rate they were, so it’s a good time to be getting the job done.”

What to get a billionaire that has everything? A fl oating home.
Aroundthe World
Gazeworld
We don’t usually feature mobile homes in MPR, but this week’s unusual property can take you
around the world. ‘A’ is a member of the Giga Yacht club, which is the term used to describe yachts that measure more than 100 metres in length and are usually owned by people with more money than they know what to do with.
Th is fl oating mansion is 118 metres long, weighs around 5000 tonnes, and has a fuel-tank capacity of 757,000 litres. Although there are larger Giga Yachts around, ‘A’ is unique for its unusual design – it was designed by Phillipe Starck to have no protuberances or harsh lines and, as you can see from these photos, the result is pretty spectacular.
‘A’ was built in 2008 by Blohm & Voss and is thought to be owned by Russian billionaire and businessman Andrey Melnichenko, although this has never been publicly confi rmed. Th e value of ‘A’ is also a closely guarded secret, although based on current prices it would cost about $946,000 just to fi ll the fuel tank, so it’s safe to assume the boat didn’t come cheap.
Th e interior features a palatial owner’s suite, six luxury guest suites and accommodation for 42 staff , so one can live quite comfortably while sailing the world. Th ere are three swimming pools on board, as well as two custom-designed tender boats for ferrying guests to and from the shore.

be working with early in the week

If you were looking to buy a new house, wouldn’t you be turned off by a home that is overfl owing with clutter? Take some time to give those hard to reach places a thorough clean, and sell, throw or pack away clutter. A clean house is much more appealing than a grotty one, and the fewer things you have in your home, the more spacious it will appear.
Th e little things do make a diff erence. Ensure there’s a fresh bunch of beautiful fl owers on the kitchen table and pop on a littlebackground music to create some ambience, but don’t choose anything too heavy or too loud.
Th e kitchen and the bathrooms are the most important rooms in the house and because they get a lot of use, they are oft en the messiest and dirtiest. Pay special attention to these rooms when completing your pre-inspection clean. Ensure the benches are free of clutter and that all personal items have been safely stored away.
Not everyone likes pets, so you need to be sure that your best friend isn’t around to scare away a potential buyer. Take the dog for a walk or drop the cat at a friend’s house if you think they will be in the way.
Th ere’s nothing as appealing as a breezy, open home. No one wants to buy a stale-smelling house that doesn’t make the most of natural breezes. Ensure all exterior doors and windows are open to invite the fresh air in, along with your potential buyers.
Potential buyers tend to become overwhelmed by a poorly kept garden. Take the time to weed your garden beds, trim your bushes and mow the lawn. If you don’t have time, employ the services of a professional who can have your garden looking neat in no time.
Make sure your gutters are free of debris and that all gutters and downspouts are working properly.
Consider brewing a pot of coff ee, baking some bickies or spraying a little air freshener around your home. A pleasant-smelling home may just bring on the sweet scent of a sale.
Buyers are attracted to properties that are light and airy – the brighter the better – so open up the curtains and blinds and let the sun shine in. Dark and dingy homes generally don’t sell as well as brighter ones.
Buyers will notice the fl aws that you’ve grown used to. Replace light bulbs, clean scuff marks off walls, replace missing tiles in the bathroom and fi x the broken screen door. Th ese may seem like minor problems to you, but to a potential buyer they could be deal-breakers. Take a walk around your home and try to look at it through the eyes of a potential buyer. A little DIY now may just be the thing that secures a sale.
Potential buyers are inclined to look exactly where you don’t want them to look, so keep this in mind when you’re cleaning. Th ey may take a peek in the cupboards, the laundry, the pantry – you name it, they will want to have a look at it, so be prepared for this.
Selling your property can be an emotional process. With this in mind, it’s a good idea to fi nd something else to do during your open home. It’s also a good idea to make yourself scarce so that buyers can relax and look around the house without feeling like they are being watched.
Clean the clutter
Set the mood
Groom the wet rooms

An unbelievable response to the impact marketing through MPR for the property at 346 Diddillibah Road, Diddillibah. The result - sold prior to auction to a very happy Brisbane family who have found their ideal home.

textured fabrics are also excellent in terms of durability and looks. However, if you’ve chosen a light colour, it may be worthwhile getting removable covers so you can clean them.
FrameWhile it’s tempting to select a sofa purely on aesthetics, you will be kicking yourself later if you don’t consider the comfort and quality of the frame. A lounge should last you at least 10 years, so the inner structure is extremely important. Timber, kiln-dried hardwood frames are best and they should be held together with screws rather than pins. You can usually test the quality of a couch by its weight. Th e heavier the couch, the higher the quality.
CostAlways buy the most expensive couch you can aff ord. It’s that simple. Sofas vary in price from as little as $500 all the way up to $20,000. However, a lounge should be seen as an investment piece. You don’t want to be replacing it every few years. Make sure the lounge ticks all the required boxes and select the best one within your budget.
cover story
A lounge is a major furniture investment. Back when they were allocating names to the rooms in your house, the lounge was important enough to have
one named aft er it. Because it is the centrepiece of your living room, it’s not something that should be purchased on impulse. Before you head to the furniture store, you should consider your needs and your lounge room. Take a look at the size, shape and style of the room and consider practical factors like who will be using it (kids and pets included), trends, taste and budget.
StyleTh e style of your couch should depend on a couple of things, namely practicality and fashion. Ask yourself what your couch will be used for. Will it be used every day by the whole family or will it be a more decorative piece in a room that isn’t used every day? Traditional two- or three-seater sofas can be used either on their own or paired with one or two separate armchairs. L-shaped and modular lounges are also good to set around a coff ee table or in front of the TV. Showpiece styles look great, but aren’t very practical if you have children or are looking for something to lounge around on to watch TV. Th is style of couch works well as decoration and can make a great focal point of your room. Traditional as opposed to contemporary styles are good if you want a couch that won’t date.
SizeBefore you hit the shops, do some measurements and work out the best sofa size for the area you need to fi ll. Measure the fl oor area carefully and sketch a basic plan of the room, including the position and dimensions of existing furniture. You need to make sure your new couch will fi t up your stairs or in your lift , through your doors and into your lounge room. Take your plans and measuring tape with you when shopping to avoid getting it wrong.
ColourWhen it comes to choosing the colour of your new lounge, it really comes down to personal preference. However, there are a few guidelines to follow if you want to make a practical decision. Light colours look great in any room, will work with many colour schemes and give you the opportunity to add bright pops of colour with accessories like cushions and throw rugs. Th e downside is they will stain easily. Dark colours hide dirt and stains better, but once you choose a certain colour, you have to live with that as part of your colour scheme for the lifespan of the couch. Multi-coloured fabrics and patterned couches are best at hiding stains, but patterns will date faster than block colours and restrict your colour scheme. Ask for a fabric sample and take it home to see how the colour works with your existing decor.
FabricIf there’s a chance your couch is going to encounter rough treatment dished out by children and pets, leather is a tough option that also looks great. Leather is wearable, highly durable and easy to wipe clean. It also looks great. Another smart choice is faux suede. Th is upholstery is washable, wearable, versatile and is unmatched when it comes to comfort. Tightly woven,
Get the lounge right and everything else in the room will fall into place. Here’s our guide to buying the best seat in the house.

Failing that you could line your fence with a heavy river rock which may deter him. If you wandered into your local pet store I’m sure you’d pick up a number of products that could help.
Dave: Th is comes as no real surprise to me Trish. I swear that nine out 10 phone calls we get on the Sami, Todd and Dave show about lost dogs are for staff ys. To
understand why Trish we need to go back in time. In the 1800s English
royalty used the Staff ordshire Bull Terrier as entertainment in the form of blood sport, pitting the dogs against bulls. Not pleasant I
know, but clearly more pleasant than watching the English Cricket team collapse. To help the dogs get out of deadly situations they secretly bred in
a little bit of Harry Houdini’s DNA, the world’s greatest
escapologist. So containment’s not the answer Trish. Touring is.

He refused to drink from a cup – he’d only slurp from a bowl on the fl oor – he would sit up and beg for a choccie-dipped Tiny Teddy, he sniff ed other toddlers’ butts and he dug holes all over the yard and kept getting out and chasing the neighbours’ cats! Good old Nedd. I can laugh now but at the time I thought he was nuttier than a Snickers. I put a stop to it when he started dragging his bum across the kitchen fl oor, and drinking from the dunny – enough’s enough, yeah? Soooo, my advice is, unless you’re prepared to wait for the staff meister to grow out of it, you’ve got to let him go. If you love him, set him free. He’s really greening you out, Pat, and you don’t need this stress! Some do-gooders will tell you you’re a bad person but in the words of our very own PM, they can get f&*%!!!!

A great paintYou’ve chosen a colour and bought the brushes, but which paint fi nish do you go for?
tips & tricks
Matte or fl atMatte or fl at-fi nish paints dry with no sheen – that is, they have a matte fi nish that does not refl ect light. Th ey work wonderfully at hiding imperfections on the wall and are forgiving on novice painters. Some paint specialists advertise washable matte paint. However, a matte fi nish is generally hard to clean, so it’s advisable to keep left over paint on hand for touch-ups. Matte paint is a good choice for ceilings or walls in rooms that receive little traffi c, such as a study.
EggshellAn eggshell fi nish is similar to a matte fi nish but it has a tiny glimmer of sheen when dry. Picture the low sheen of an egg and that is the eff ect your paint will produce. It suits walls as it washes slightly better than fl at-fi nish paints.
SatinAlso referred to as velvet fi nish, a satin fi nish is oft en the glossiest fi nish a decorator will recommend for walls in rooms other than the bathroom and kitchen. It’s ideal for children’s bedrooms and other high-traffi c areas such as hallways and living areas, as it’s suited to washing and light scrubbing. Satin-fi nish paint is regularly used for windows, doors, trims and ceilings, too.
Semi-glossSemi-gloss paint dries with a signifi cant shine without being too showy. It is most oft en used on doors, windows, trims and bathroom and kitchen walls. It withstands water and frequent cleaning. Ensure, however, the surface is properly prepared before painting as its refl ective nature highlights imperfections.
High-glossHigh-gloss paints have a refl ective quality. Th ey bring out even the slightest of imperfections, so meticulous surface preparation is essential. Some people fi nd it too shiny and opt for semi-gloss instead. It is used mostly on windows, doors and trims. High-gloss is a good choice for painting furniture as it creates a contemporary, durable fi nish.

Gourmet garden
A splash of style
Growing your own vegetables is rewarding, cheap and a great way to get nutritious food.
Glass is replacing tiles and leading the way as the material of choice for kitchen splashbacks.
tips & tricks
It’s spring, so many of us are now relishing the opportunity to put our green thumbs to work in the
garden. A great way to get outside and make the most of your space is to grow a veggie patch. Nothing beats homegrown vegetables – they taste superior to the store-bought ones, and they are packed with vitamins and minerals that many of there poor cousins sitting on store shelves have lost. Vegetables provide endless nutritional value when they’re grown organically and eaten straight from the garden. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started on your very own veggie garden.
Step 1 – Location, locationTh e ideal spot for your garden will have a sunny disposition, be protected by strong winds, be located away from large trees and be close to your house.
Whether you’re building a new home or redecorating your existing kitchen, you’ll need
to decide on the material to choose for your kitchen splashback.
It may seem like a small element of the overall design, but visually and functionally, a splashback is an important feature of any home’s kitchen. Not only will it add to the visible appeal of the room, but it will also determine
how much maintenance is needed to keep your kitchen looking great.
Sharon Taylor from Th e One Stop Kitchen Shop says that although glass costs a bit more than other materials, it is proving to be the most popular splashback at the moment.
“Th e advantages of glass are that any colour can be used, it refl ects light and there are no grout lines as you would get with tiling,” she says.
Glass splashbacks start from about $385 per square metre, so if you are on a tight budget, this is probably not the best choice for you.
However, there are many other options available when it comes to splashback fi nishes. Th ese include tiles, acrylic, stainless steel, laminate, stone, paint and even mirrors are making an appearance.
Unless you’re prepared to update
your splashback regularly, it is important to choose the colour wisely. Natural tones are the most popular for home owners looking to the future and considering resale value.
Bright colours make a great statement, but they run the risk of dating. If you want to go bright, it’s best to start with a neutral splashback and add brightly coloured kitchen accessories.
By planting the right combination of vegetables, herbs and fl owers together, you can naturally ward off certain pests and diseases. This method of gardening is called companion planting.
Did you know?
Step 2 – PreparationYour soil should be prepared at least four or fi ve weeks before planting. Remove any debris or weeds from the area, then dig over the soil to a depth of about 30 centimetres. Test the soil with a pH soil test kit. Th e pH level should be between 6.0 and 7.0.
Step 3 – What to growIn the cool season (below 20 degrees): broad beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts, caulifl ower, onions, peas, spinach and turnips.
In the intermediate season (15 to 25 degrees): beetroot, carrot, parsnip, celery, leek, lettuce, radish, silver beet.
In the warm season (above 20 degrees): beans, capsicum, eggplant, potato, sweet corn, sweet potato, tomato and cucurbits (which includes cucumbers, zucchini and pumpkins).
Step 4 – Plant your veggiesVeggies can be grown from seeds or seedlings. Seeds are cheaper and you get a large amount, while seedlings will establish quicker and guarantee better success. Th e choice is yours.
Step 5 – After careYou will need to regularly water your vegetables, while being careful they don’t become water-logged. Your veggies will also require regular doses of either organic or artifi cial fertilisers to generate growth.
Step 6 – Rotate cropsIt’s important to rotate your crops each year to ensure healthier plants and eliminate pest and disease problems. Th is just means that you shouldn’t grow the same group of crops in the same bed year aft er year.

Colour therapyIt’s time to inject bright pops of colour into your decor.
trend
Thinking of doing a little redecorating? Spring is the perfect time of year to rid your
home of drab, dated colours and inject new life into every room.
Th e trend over the cooler monthswas for interiors with neutral and subtle hues, but Brett Williams from Decorate by Design says now is the chance to incorporate colour into your home.
“Traditionally, spring is a time for
PurpleMake-up neutrals, pinkish greysAqua blueBlush tone, pinksRed and fuchsiaOrange tonesDark citronSuper lemon
Popular colours for spring:
blossoms and a chance for decorators to break away from the earthy tones of winter and add a touch of freshness and light,” he says.
“Spring 2009 is no exception. Purple, sea blue-greens, greys and metallic colours are storming rooms and creating an optimistic feel. Th ese bright sizzling tones are calmed down with neutrals to give them more mass appeal, as well as
a sophisticated feel.”In light of the
current state of the global economy, Brett says we’re
now also seeing the introduction of calming hues and restful blue
undertones.“Such shades
provide some welcome psychological stability in these uncertain times,”
Brett says.

Part of the grand plan
Apartments set standard
New executive-style fl oor plans breathe life into Emporio, Maroochydore’s exciting residential/commercial development.
Marcoola’s prestigious White Shells apartments are selling now. It’s an opportunity for home owners and investors.
The upcoming Emporio, located in the heart of Maroochydore, will herald a new era in urban lifestyle
on the Coast. And with architect’s plans fresh off the drawing board, purchasing in this fl agship development has now become even more attractive.
“While our two-bedroom apartments have proved popular, our one-bedroom fl oor plans haven’t suited the lifestyle needs of professional singles and
couples,” says Mark Hall, Emporio sales co-ordinator. “Th at’s why we’re very excited about the recent design changes.”
Developer Reed Property Group has redesigned 18 of its piazza-view apartments to include an option of a one-bedroom plus study or a functional second bedroom.
Prices of these new executive-style apartments start at $329,000.
All apartments have air-conditioning,
stone benchtops in the kitchen and bathrooms, stainless steel Smeg appliances, glass splashbacks, fl oor-to-ceiling tiling in bathrooms and window furnishings.
All apartments have at least one car space (some have two) and lock-up storage in the secure parking area. Complex amenities include a heated pool and spa, residents-only gym, resident theatre/lounge, fresh food marketplace,
cafes and restaurants. Emporio will be a very vibrant and fun place to live.
“Purchasers in the fi rst stage are taking advantage of the discounted pre-construction prices on off er and for a limited time, we are even paying the buyer’s stamp duty,” Mark says.
Construction of Emporio is expected to start soon with settlement of stage one expected 18 months later. Phone Mark Hall on 5451 8500 for more information.
White Shells is a prestigious address of only 48 luxury apartments, 140 metres from
the beach at Marcoola. Off ering a sea change, the location, timeless design and obvious quality all come together to form White Shells.
Th ese apartments boast high ceilings, open-plan living areas and large balconies. Eleven feature private
rooft op terraces with heated spas, and the 12 podium-level apartments have private heated plunge pools and large outdoor courtyards.
Beachside properties of this calibre are becoming increasingly sought aft er by home owners and investors alike.
Phone 5448 7844 or visit www.whiteshells.com.au for more information.

Caloundra luxury for sale
Opportunity knocks at Riva
Rumba releases its last remaining apartments to market. It’s a chance to buy a fi ve-star lifestyle in Caloundra.
Two luxurious waterside apartments in an exclusive Maroochydore enclave are now for sale in the Riva building.
The last remaining apartments in the luxurious fi ve-star Rumba Resort and Spa at Caloundra have now
been released to the market, with 70 per cent of the development sold before construction commenced.
Rumba Resort and Spa has already achieved sales fi gures of $46.7 million.
Th e development has been fl ooded with enquiries for its last release of 22 apartments, with both fully-furnished resort apartments and beachfront apartments available.
Rumba is being marketed by Henzells Caloundra. Henzells sales
manager Susan Musgrove says interest in Rumba has been very strong, with many people buying holiday apartments there.
“It’s prime location, not only with the beach and shops on your doorstep, but the added advantage of only one hour from Brisbane’s CBD and airport, forgoes the need to travel further north to fi nd a fi ve-star resort.
“Guests can enjoy a relaxed breakfast, lunch or dinner at Rumba’s dining piazza, which will include restaurants such as Th e Coff ee Club, Penny Farthing Inn, Hog’s Breath Cafe
and Italian restaurant La Dolce Vita.”Rumba Resort and Spa features
31 beachfront apartments in one- and two-bedroom confi gurations, and 43 resort apartments in one- and two-bedroom confi gurations.
Rumba’s apartments are beautifully appointed with integrated smart wiring throughout, Miele appliances, granite benchtops, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and king-size bedrooms.
Apartments off er a range of stunning views from uninterrupted beach, ocean and island outlooks to the resort pool.
Rumba’s resort facilities include
exclusive use of three pools including a stunning glass-bottomed heated lap pool, main resort pool and wading pool, heated spa, fully licensed poolside bar and relaxing day spa facilities.
Th e state-of-the-art business facilities will include a 140-person conference and function venue incorporating the latest digital technology.

Riva, a striking 12-storey building in Maroochydore, has raised the bar in quality in this exclusive
residential precinct of Duporth Avenue. Riva is a joint venture development
between Reed Property Group and the Curry Kenny Group and was built with only two apartments sharing each level. Th e penthouse, covering two levels, settled last week for a record $5 million.
“Th is building was unique where we gave each owner the opportunity to design and choose the decor of their individual apartment,” says Ken Reed, managing director of Reed Property Group. Th e outcome is a high-quality building with 22 apartments.
Th e Riva project sold out 12 months before completion, but two purchasers were unable to meet their settlement obligations, so there is now an opportunity for others to buy into the complex. Released for sale this weekend is an absolute-waterfront ground-fl oor apartment of 237 square metres and an additional 144 square metres of exclusive-use courtyard for $1,795,000, and a seventh-fl oor apartment of 240 square metre with incredible ocean views for $2.15 million.
Each apartment has vast indoor and outdoor living areas, three bedrooms, study, double car accommodation, C-Bus smart wiring, audio-visual intercom and ducted air-conditioning.

Kartaway Mini Skips have been involved in the waste removal industry for
more than 100 years. As a family-owned Australian
company, we pride ourselves on being fully aware of the impact waste has on our society. That’s why our main objective is to recycle as much as we
can and take away rubbish from landfill. Our transfer station based in Kuluin
is recycling more than 75 per cent of the rubbish we pick up on the Sunshine Coast, before sending it to a Brisbane transfer station capable of taking another 80 per cent out of our loads.
So we are not only helping builders, renovators or house owners to have their sites clean, but also creating an environmentally-friendly region.
Business profile – KartawayD & A Cleaning Services is a recently established company that started on the Sunshine
Coast about four months ago. Owner Dale Waterson loves what
he does and wants to make a difference on the Coast.
His aim is to make life easier for his clients, so he specialises in a range
of cleaning services such as high-pressure cleaning, bond cleans, house washing and much more.
Dale offers a good and fair price for his services, so if you need a good reliable person to fulfil your cleaning needs, call Dale today for a free quote on 0411 206 541.
