This is one of those limited exclusive prime deep waterfront locations ~ few houses enjoy such a privileged position facing true North, opposite the old Mooloolaba Yacht Club with sweeping views of the main river.

Imagine feeling like you’re on holiday year round and being captivated by breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and watching the world sail by, all from your doorstep. Nestled against a spectacular coastal backdrop, this comfortable home has a wonderful relaxed ambience.

It’s a yachtsman’s paradise on the water with a large 12 metre heavy-duty pontoon ready for a large cruiser and a deck that provides an extra 50 metres plus of outdoor living space ~ a property where the waterfront is your playground and you are only 1300 metres to the Pacifi c Ocean.

Located so close to La Balsa Park, Point Cartwright headland, the local café and beaches, you’ll want to venture outdoors.

REAL ESTATE AGENT INDEX

Th e latest REIQ fi gures were released at the beginning of the week and the results show signs of a healthy bounce back for both the state and the Sunshine Coast property markets. Th e quarterly fi gures indicate a 3.4 per cent growth in the median house price over the last quarter, lift ing the Coast’s median house price to $460,000. Although the prices aren’t quite up to last year’s fi gures, they are a confi dent nod to the recovery of the market, with noted interest in the Coast’s hinterland areas such as Palmwoods and Maleny, which boasts a 16.9 per cent increase in median house prices over the last quarter. While the tree change appears to be luring buyers, it’s Caloundra that is getting all the attention of late. As our cover story on page six shows, the southern part of the Coast is undergoing a bit of a facelift , and is drawing a lot of interest from buyers with the revamp of the esplanade along Bulcock Beach. Look out Mooloolaba and Noosa, Caloundra is stepping it up.

6 My Property Review | December 11, 2009

cover story

Caloundra’s beachfront CBD has had a makeover that adds a contemporary edge to the precinct without challenging its beloved humble heart.

A new scene

The southern entrance to the Sunshine Coast has shrugged off its reputation of being a bit tired and old-fashioned, and is now ready to

give Noosa and Mooloolaba a run for their money when it comes to pedestrian-friendly, social hubs where lifestyle meets amenity. And much of this is due to the opening of Th e Waterfront boardwalk precinct at Bulcock Beach, the latest addition to its ongoing image makeover.

Bulcock, has been popular since holidaymakers, mainly from Brisbane, fi rst began staying in slung-together beach houses and blocks of fl ats along the esplanade. Th ose old fl ats have gradually been replaced by fi rst-class accommodation apartments as the popularity of central Caloundra grew.

And why wouldn’t it? Bulcock Beach, part of the Sunshine Coast coastal path from Diamond Head to Noosa, not only has some of the best views around, but also a patrolled beach and shady picnic and barbecue facilities. It also happens to be an environmental resource as part of the Moreton

Bay Marine Park, and a designated conservation area for the protection of migratory wader birds.

Th ese days, it is also a premier leisure hub.Th e $8.5 million refurbishment of the Bulcock

Beach waterfront, which offi cially opened on December 6, has been picked up by local traders, who have branded their new play space “Th e Waterfront – Caloundra’s Boardwalk”.

A joint project of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council and the fi ft h largest infrastructure project in the State Government’s Q150 program, the foreshore redevelopment has been billed as a “one in 40-year” facelift .

Work started in April and was completed right on time, earlier this month.

Extending about 250 metres along Bulcock Beach from La Promenade apartments to Minchinton Street intersections, it includes a boardwalk that extends out over the water, paths, seating and landscaping.

Further stages of the redevelopment will ultimately extend the boardwalk from Tay Avenue to Happy Valley.

“Th ere was a boardwalk there, but it desperately needed to be upgraded,” says the council’s major projects and contract manager Steve Pollard.

“Much of the funding has been spent on infrastructure, which was worn out. Th e old revetment walls were collapsing and had to be replaced and there was a lot of work underground as the boardwalk is out over the water.”

Community consultation delivered a clear message that it was important to retain the fi shing village atmosphere, which the area has historically enjoyed and that, says Steve, was achieved through the use of timber.

“As well as widening the original boardwalk we also separated pedestrians and cyclists from those wanting to go fi shing by lowering an area of the boardwalk for them,” he says. “Basically we cleaned out and replaced what was there but kept the vibe.”

Th e boardwalk also protects the Norfolk pines, which are synonymous with the area and have been heritage-listed to keep them that way. A timber-decked area protects the root system and doubles as seating.

“We have also removed the big drain away from the swimming area which has greatly improved the beach,” Steve says. “We have modernised without changing the good feel of the place.”

Th e work also took into account the million-dollar views from the nearby apartments, and every eff ort

was made to ensure the stunning panorama – across the waters of Pumicestone Passage to the northern tip of Bribie Island and west to the Glass House Mountains towering in the distance – remained unobstructed.

Anticipating how popular the precinct will be with both locals and tourists, and determined to take advantage of their new foreshore, traders have got together to form a tightly knit group to pro-actively market the precinct.

Th ey say they want everyone to know that they are open for business and have come up with Th e Waterfront logo that they believe embodies “the vitality of the new Bulcock Beach waterfront and the neighbourhood’s regeneration”.

Spokesman Bill Darby, who is also director of the new Rumba Resort and Spa opposite, says the whole precinct is pedestrian friendly and there will

be 11 food and beverage outlets along the strip.“It will be a food and dining destination,” he says.

“We have all realised that unlike any other esplanade on the Sunshine Coast, we will all have great water views and very little between us and the boardwalk and the beach.

“Visitors will have real access to everything and will be part of the whole waterfront experience.”

Rumba is making a signifi cant contribution to the leisure opportunities. It has plenty of underground parking for customers of its dining precinct, which includes Coff ee Club, La Dolce Vita, Hog’s Breath and Penefathings, an English-style pub, as well as a convenience store.

It’s possible to sit and watch the ships head into the port of Brisbane while sipping a cappuccino or tuning into a Sunday aft ernoon jazz session.

“Th e whole area is more pedestrian friendly and having the boardwalk cantilevered out over Pumicestone Passage gives a much broader pedestrian promenade,” Bill says. “Traders have suff ered while the work was being done but we were patient and the outcome makes it hugely worthwhile.”

Bill adds that Caloundra’s time has now come.“Th e Sunshine Coast region is constantly evolving

and this is the next stage of high-quality leisure activity for both tourists and locals. We are the new kid on the block as far as attractive and a signifi cant dining and leisure destination goes. Bulcock Beach is close to both the water and Caloundra’s CBD beach. It is quite a renaissance for Bulcock [Beach].”

Smart planning during the high-rise boom of the 1980s and 1990s, has ensured that the area has retained its unobtrusive profi le. Th ere is a 16.5-metre or fi ve-

storey limit along the waterfront rising to 10 storeys in Bulcock Street behind, and the through street is narrow enough to discourage large amounts of traffi c.

From the beach, the view is unimpeded by high-rise towers but remains a pleasant mix of unassuming humble buildings along the foreshore.

Development style has also worked in well with the environment, enhancing opportunity rather than detracting from amenity and making it possible for more people to enjoy the area.

Rumba Resort and Spa, which opened in August, comprises 72 strata-titled one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and has on-site management for holiday rentals. It also has all the trappings expected of a fi ve-star resort. Th ere’s a heated lap pool, a large lagoon pool and a spa, as well as a conference centre fi tted with state-of-the-art electronics. It serves equally as a wedding and business function centre, with the bonus of having premium accommodation attached.

Rumba has also found a niche with its poolside bar, where locals are dropping in for aft er-work or pre-dinner drinks before wandering through the resort to the beachfront cafes and restaurants at street level.

Bill says occupancy has far exceeded expectations since opening three months ago. “A lot of nights we are fully booked and the average since opening has been 78 per cent occupancy,” he says. “We expected 50 per cent, so this refl ects the success of this beautiful place on the beach.”

Nearby Monaco, which opens soon, is made up of 89 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and is a product of developers Ford and Rockliff , which has been responsible for most of the prominent residential and investment property apartments in Caloundra since 1985.

Th e company has a portfolio of more than 500 apartments, including the Renaissance and Medici at Golden Beach and the Waterford at Leeding Terrace in central Caloundra, and now Monaco which was offi cially completed this week at Bulcock Beach.

Like Rumba, potential has been quickly identifi ed, with more than 50 per cent sold off the plan. It’s an impressive result, given that many investors are only just coming back to the market aft er the recent economic crisis.

Marketing began in 2007 and more than half were sold when construction started last year. Th e fi rst residents will be settled before Christmas.

Company spokesman John Birse says Monaco is a rare opportunity to live in the centre of town – the entry is from Otranto Avenue – while being beside a beach.

Like Rumba, the $65 million Monaco is a mix of residential apartments, all of them have balconies that take in the spectacular views, and commercial space, including the Shingle Inn and Beach Bakery.

“Th ere is a lot of history in this area,” Bill says. “Th e Caloundra Chamber of Commerce is moving its Christmas twilight markets from Kings Beach to Th e Waterfront Boardwalk and next year, we will look at providing entertainment as part of the Caloundra Music Festival here as well.

“Th e traders, who have formed an association as a committee within the chamber, are also planning a regular calendar of events. We plan to take full advantage of the amenity of this area.”

On average Australia has the largest homes in the world, but it’s Brunei that takes the cake.

world

Recent CommSec research has indicated that, on average, Australians occupy the largest

homes in the world. But if we have the have the largest house on average, where exactly is the world’s largest residential home? Apparently it’s in Brunei. Th e world’s largest residence of any type is the Istana Nurul Iman palace, the offi cial residence of the Sultan of Brunei. It has an area of 2,152,782 square feet (which equates to approximately 200,000m2) and boasts 1788 rooms and 257 bathrooms. As well as being home to the Sultan and his family, the palace is used for all State functions and is opened to the public once a year.

One of the world’s largest private

homes is currently under construction in Mumbai, India. Named Antilia, the residence is expected to be completed soon and will be home to billionaire Indian engineer and businessman Mukesh Ambani and his family. Although little information has been offi cially released, Antilia will reportedly be the world’s most expensive home as well, with a rumoured cost of nearly US$2 billion.

According to Forbes magazine the home, which was designed by Perkins and Will and Hirsch Bedner and Associates, will be 173 metres tall, will have 27 fl oors and will feature six storeys of car parking, a ballroom, movie theatre, wine room, yoga studio, and a cool room

which is a cold chamber with man-made snow fl urries so guests can escape the Mumbai heat.

Th ere will also be a four-storey sky garden, and the home will have the largest living wall in the world, spanning the entire height of the building. Th e shape of the building is reportedly based on Vastu Shastra, a traditional Hindu system of design, and the Ambani family have requested that the interior be distinctly Indian, with most of the materials and labour being sourced from India.

Antilia is so expensive because each fl oor has a unique plan, and according to the designers, the family has requested that diff erent materials and fi xtures be used on each level.

A snapshot of who’s doing what in the industryA Platinum move

Steve Kealey has joined forces with the very experienced and successful team at Platinum Properties Sunshine Coast as a selling principal. Steve, who lives on Kawana Island with his family says, “It’s great to be back on board with this high-profi le local company. I actually started my real estate career at this offi ce.

“Th e decision to base my real estate future in Platinum Properties was very comfortable and made easier by the fact that Steve Turner and Geoff Ohmsen are my business partners."

Steve said he and the team are continuing to focus on residential sales and property management in all areas of the Sunshine Coast.

Before I was a real estate agent I was: A TV news journalist with Seven Local News for 13 years.That involved: For a long time I was a sports reporter, and sometimes presenter, which was great considering I’m a sports junkie and got to meet and interview some really famous sports stars. I spent my last six years there as news producer, which meant I was responsible for everything about the bulletin and getting it to air each night.I started in real estate because: I needed a change and a new challenge that off ered more fl exibility, but importantly still involved working with people, because that’s what I really enjoy.My greatest assets are: Defi nitely my family and my health.I’m afraid of: Failure.

I live by the motto: You only get out of life what you put into it. Live for now!If I won $1 million tomorrow I’d buy: A fantastic round-the-world holiday and an investment property. When I grow up, I want: To see the world and spend lots of time travelling.The biggest challenge I’ve had in life is: Overcoming the loss of my older brother when he was just 27. I was 26 at the time and we were very close.The most inspiring thing to happen to me is: Becoming a dad and watching my two beautiful girls, Alanah and Sasha, grow up. If you looked in the boot of my car right now, you’d fi nd: Un-used golf clubs and signs for this weekend’s open homes.

pent-up demand from buyers who have realised that prices aren’t going to get any lower.

“Investors are looking to pick up houses and units, or renovators, across the Coast and we are seeing a return of buyers in the prestige market now that the share market has picked up.”

Th e data refl ects a growing trend for hinterland property with demand and price growth in suburbs such as Palmwoods, Woombye and Maleny, which had an increase of more than 16 per cent for the quarter.

auction action

This was a great result. There were eight registered bidders and the home sold to local buyers for

$605,000 which was a record price for the street

“ “Geoff Ohmsen

There were four registered bidders and we had a big crowd turn up for

the auction. The home went for well above the reserve price

“ “

Michael Knights

The home sold under the hammer to buyers from the Gold Coast who

are planning to move here“ “

Michael Lindsay

There were about 50 people at the auction, and my employee Brad was

dressed up as Spike the Dog (the Elders mascot) to entertain the kids. There was bidding under auction conditions before the property was passed in, and a great result was achieved when it went under

contract an hour after the auction

There’s now an easy way to live an ultimate, low-maintenance hinterland lifestyle – with a difference.

by Pauline Clayton

Affordable tree changeOver the past decade, the Maleny

Palms caravan park has evolved from a traditional caravan park

to a re-locatable home estate and now an active lifestyle resort.

Th e former caravan site has been cleared and in its place is Sunstone Gardens, an upmarket manufactured home complex, designed for scaled-down couples and singles seeking a maintenance-free, relaxed lifestyle.

Because the site sits within the low-density residential precinct in the Maleny Town Plan, and because its permitted use is a “caravan and re-locatable home park” the use of the premises can include amenity buildings and recreation and entertainment facilities which cater exclusively for the occupants of the premises.

Buying into Sunstone Gardens is a little diff erent than most other gated

residential community estates. While a handful are freehold with a body corporate managing the communal areas, and others are fully leasehold. Th is means that Sunstone Gardens’ residents own their villas outright while renting the site. Th e rent in this instance includes all costs of running the grounds and facilities and also includes council rates and charges. Th ere are no body corporate fees, nor does the purchaser pay land tax or stamp duty.

Because the site is rented, (even though the villa is owned) there is potential for those entitled to rent assistance under the Federal Governments Rent Assistance scheme, to substantially reduce their site rental.

It is impossible to tell from fi rst glance that these are technically, re-locatable houses. Th ey are modern, with the latest in fi xtures and fi ttings,

including ducted air-conditioning, polished timber fl ooring, stone bench tops, and the latest in kitchen technology.

Th e houses front Macadamia Drive, and are walking distance from down-town Maleny. At the moment most of Sunstone Gardens is still under construction but already a handful of the proposed 139 freestanding, two- and three-bedroom villas are complete and occupied. Th e whole site takes up 5.66 ha (14 acres) and overlooks the town of Maleny.

Th e centerpiece of Sunstone Gardens is a large club house with a hall most small town communities would envy.

It boasts a 300-seat ballroom with a wooden dance fl oor, an elevated stage, commercial kitchen, indoor and outdoor eating area, library, movie theatrette, a gymnasium and handicraft room.

Next to the community clubhouse

is a bowling green, a heated swimming pool plus an outdoor barbecue and entertainment area.

It has all of the facilities of an upmarket resort, but is in fact a permanent home site, a small village, within the village of Maleny.

Over the past decade there has been an increase in gated communities, which have been popular in North America for some time. Th ey off er security, and most importantly, a maintenance-free lifestyle as all the communal gardens and facilities are maintained by onsite professionals.

Marketed as on over-50s residential resort, this is a clever and aff ordable way to enjoy a hinterland tree change on the Coast without the big costs and high maintenance. Residents can buy (or sell) their villa through the onsite sales offi ce or through a local real estate agent.

A Henzells commercial auction secures high prices for land.

Council auctionHenzells Commercial Central

Sunshine Coast has been busy with the gavel lately, carrying out

auctions for the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Properties that had defaulted on rates for a period greater than three years went under the hammer recently.

Included was a 2985-square metre parcel of land in Conondale, which sold for 14 per cent above the reserve. A 7815-square metre block of land at Kin Kin also sold under the hammer, going for more than 200 per cent of the reserve price. Th e rates and fees were deducted with the balance going to the properties’ owners.

Auctioneer and Henzells Commercial Central Sunshine Coast principal Greg Young says the small crowd didn’t detract from the outcome.

“Th e auction was very exciting with two bidders on each property competitively bidding the price up. Th e council representatives were astonished and delighted with the result.” Auctioneer Greg Young

The world’s retail marketsA recent global assessment of retail markets listed three Australian cities in the top 20.

Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne are ranked among the 20 most expensive retail markets in the

world according to a new CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) report released on December 7. CBRE’s latest Global Marketview on the retail sector shows that despite a 20 per cent rental decline over the past 12 months, New York continues to be the most expensive retail market in the world. Sydney moved up the global rankings this year to seventh position, with Brisbane in ninth place and Melbourne ranked twelft h. Auckland – the only other Pacifi c market included in the survey was ranked 49th.

CBRE Global Research and Consulting Executive Director Kevin Stanley attributes Australia’s strong presence to a strengthening Australian dollar, given that the global rankings were calculated on a US dollar basis. However, despite currency movements, Kevin said prime CBD retail rents in Australia had remained relatively stable – and even increased in some

markets – over the past 12 months. He said the result was particularly strong given the “signifi cant amount of trauma” that had occurred in Melbourne and Sydney as a result of redevelopment activity, which had resulted in temporary relocations and tenant closures.

“When these new centres in the Melbourne and Sydney CBD’s are completed, there’s expected to be a boost to destination retailing and probably an increase in rents as well,” Kevin said. He also added that the low interest rates and the Federal government’s cash handouts helped keep Australia’s CBD retail markets going over the past 12 months. CBRE’s Regional Director, Joshua Loudoun attributed Brisbane’s position to the same incentives from the government.

Th e Global Marketview highlights that prime retail rents began to stabilize in many markets across the world in the third quarter of 2009, as retail and economic indicators started to show signs of greater stability and as retailer

confi dence gained some positive momentum. Sydney, London, Hong Kong and Paris all showed resilience to the global economic crisis with stable rents over the 12 months to September. Globally however, retail rents fell by an average of 1 per cent from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2009.

Head of Cross-Border Retail in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region said, “Although consumers continue to

take a cautious approach to spending, consumer confi dence has been slowly recovering and is in positive territory in some economies. Th ere are undoubtedly more challenges ahead for many retailers, but retailer confi dence has also picked up over the course of the year and expansion into key mature markets and prime locations remains fi rmly on the agenda across many sectors, including grocery and value clothing retailers.”

cover story

A window does so much more than simply letting in air and light. A good window should help protect

your home against intruders, aid in energy effi ciency and add to your property’s look and design. Choosing the right type of windows for your home is an important step in the building and renovation process. Here are a few of the most popular window styles on the market.

Double-hungDouble-hung, or sash windows, are popular in Australia. Th ey feature two sliding sashes that move independently of each other, in an up-down motion. Th e great thing about double-hung windows is they can be adjusted to let in as much or as little air as you like. Th ey are also key lockable, allow room for a fl yscreen and are available in timber,

aluminium and the new energy-effi cient UPVC.

SlidingTh e most popular choice in Australian homes is sliding windows. Th ey are versatile, suit most homes, are inexpensive, low maintenance, take up little space and are key lockable.

AwningFound in traditional homes, awning windows open outwards with a chain winder. Th e chain winder holds the window fi rmly ajar to prevent slamming and can be locked ajar. Th ey are oft en used in hard-to-reach spots, or when furniture obstructs access.

LouvresCommon in many beach-style homes,

louvre windows come in panels of timber or slatted glass. Th e popularity of older louvres has diminished because of security concerns, but new louvres now seal tightly when closed and allow maximum ventilation when open.It is even possible to have them open while it is raining if they are turned to the correct position.

Bi-foldsLike bi-fold doors, bi-fold windows look great and are designed to allow light and air to fl ood into the room. Opening either inwards or outwards in a concertina fashion, bi-folds are popular in living areas to create a seamless indoor/outdoor connection, making them great in homes where a lot of entertaining is done.

We help you choose the best style of window for your home.

cover story

CasementCasement windows are suited to heritage and colonial-style homes. Th ey off er fantastic ventilation, opening outwards to a 90-degree angle. A metal rod is used to hold the window in place. Flyscreens are not usually included, but can be made to fi t.

Fixed paneFixed-pane windows are fi xed in place and cannot be opened. As movement is not an option, fi xed-pane windows can be installed in any shape or size.

< from previous page

ORIENTATIONEast-facing windows will catch morning light, west-facing will catch afternoon light and north-facing windows will receive light all day. South-facing windows do not get much light.

VENTILATIONEach room needs good ventilation, so look at each space and think about where the windows will go and how much breeze you would like in that area. Then, select the window according to the amount of ventilation it provides.

GLAZINGGlazing protects from heat, sound and accidents. Laminated or toughened glass is best in high-

traffi c areas – it won’t shatter if an accident occurs – while glass with a high solar refl ection index will keep heat out.

ENERGY EFFICIENCYStrategically placed, windows allow you to have an energy-effi cient home. Situated in the right spot, they will help maintain a comfortable home, all year round. However, misplaced windows have the opposite effect and can increase your energy use. Get an expert’s advice on this.

SECURITYKeep burglars out by installing high-quality windows with adequate locks. Key-operated locks do thejob best.

DIY

easy alternative for keeping the kids cool and out of trouble over the break. When it comes to solving the pool problem though, there are some cheaper alternatives to resort-style ingrounds. For example if your backyard slopes away or has a drop-off on it, you can even go for a much-cheaper above-ground pool with overhanging decking built around it. A lot of people are doing this these days and

you can’t even tell it’s an above-ground, yet it’s a bit more aff ordable. Could be worth considering.

Q Australian celebrities and sports people whilst avoiding the question. But not today. My advice is to whirl into a hardware and purchase a 10metre roll of thick builders’ plastic, a cheap little bottle of dishwashing detergent and a few small tent pegs. Congratulations Jen, you’ve just made your own Slip ’n Slide. Peg it out on the lawn near the hose and the kids are good to go. For goodness sake don’t set it up in front of a horizontal wire fence unless garotting your children is on the list of Christmas things to do. However if Andrew G or Nathan Hauritz are dropping in for a slide please ignore that last piece of safety advice.

Todd: Hi Jen, I’m in ya corner champ, when it comes to getting a pool. It’s like Tiger Woods’ recent transgressions, loads of fun and good times, but it will actually cost you plenty of dough. My recco for the kiddies is to encourage the ‘running under the sprinklers in ya Spiderman undies’ trick, thus ensuring the tin-lids get plenty of time outdoors in their derps while

We don’t have the money for an inground pool – any suggestions on how to keep the kids occupied/cool over the holidays?Jenny, Bli Bli

Jade: You could easily go for the blow-up pool but I guess it depends on how old your kids are. Most of the local public pools are a good idea for the kids over the school holidays, and the admission is aff ordable, making it a cheap and

they’re young, because we all know the minute you turn 19 it’s frowned upon (again, my apologies to local police for Saturday night’s shenanigans, in my defence though I’d spilt kebab juice down my front and that’s why I was sans pants outside the taxi rank). Anyway Jen there’s the sprinklers option for ya or there’s the one my brood and I use every summer called ‘pool-hopping’ at Alex or Kings Beach. Now I know there’s people reading this goin’ ‘Th at’s a bit rude ya bogan, stealing swims from resorts’ but as long as you only charge your drinks from the swim-up bar to people who look rich-as, then it’s hunky dory! Nah just jokes, as if we’d do that, I charge the cocktails and hot chip baskets to any room with a ‘7’ in it.

Just because the Government has slashed the rebate from $1600 to $1200 overnight and taken millions of dollars out of the budget, does not mean you have to miss out.

WE ARE PAYING 50% OF ANY EXTRA COSTS OVER $1200E.g. if your job’s worth $2000 the government pays $1200 we pay $400 and you pay $400 — that’s a total rebate of $1600

Why? Because it’s just wrong to change the rules overnight...two wrongs don’t make it right

From the 1st December 2009 home owners are required to get two (2) quotes before they have their homes insulated. We are happy the government has brought this

back in because we know when we are quoting on the same quality products

Our prices and products have not changed so that means you can still get an average 3 bedroom home insulated for $1600 - that’s $1200 from the government,

$200 from us and $200 from you.

Tap in to a new look Put the fi nishing touches on your bathroom by selecting the right tapware.

The trick to creating a lavish bathroom is to create a stylish look with optimum functionality, and

selecting the right tapware is an integral part of the process. Taps come in various fi nishes and styles and there’s quite a bit to consider before making a decision.

Water effi ciency – WELS ratingWhen it comes to the WELS rating of your taps, the more stars the better. Water effi ciency is one of the most important features of a tap. Aerators and fl ow controllers can also be attached to your taps to reduce water usage

Temperature controlAvoid getting scorched by installing taps that will instantly heat water to a set temperature. You can also purchase temperature control pads where you can

pre-set the temperature as part of the water heater. Th is is ideal if you have young children.

AestheticsTo create a stylish room it is incredibly important to match your tapware to the décor of your bathroom. Styles include polished chrome, brushed stainless steel and porcelain and are available in varying shapes and colours. You are limited only by your budget.

FunctionalityWhen you’re shopping for tapware don’t be afraid to test out the goods by turning them on and off to get a feel for how they work. Th ere’s nothing more frustrating than jumping in the shower and spending 10 minutes adjusting the taps to get the right temperature and the right water pressure.

Different types of tapsScrew-down – two taps, one for hot and one for cold that screw down when turned on. Th is is the traditional tapware type.

Single-lever mixer – designed to control both hot and cold water. Th e direction the lever is tilted determines the temperature of the water.

Double lever – works in the same way as single lever, however there are separate levers for hot and cold.

Cross tapware – shaped in a cross, this is the modern version of screw-down tapware.

Wall set – Giving your bathroom a very clean, uncluttered look, these taps are installed in the wall above the basin.

On the benchIf you love the look of stone but don’t want to part with the cash, acrylic may be worth considering.

With a bit of love you can bring a clawfoot tub back to life.

Stone is predominantly the benchtop of choice when creating a gourmet kitchen in the home.

But aft er dominating the scene for the past couple of decade, stone benchtops fi nally have a rival – solid acrylic.

Solid acrylic is a non-porous surface material that suits both vertical and horizontal applications. It off ers a seamless and consistent fi nish from the fl oor to the benchtop.

With acrylic, there’s no need to confuse the look with multiple materials – edge treatments, inlays, sink mountings and splashbacks can all have the same surface. Because the surface is completely seamless, it is hygienic and easy to keep clean.

If you’re a fan of stone, but not the

Antique claw-foot baths are a great way to add that shabby chic look to a contemporary bathroom, and

restoring them is not as diffi cult as you may fi rst think. Quite oft en, claw-foot tubs have been used, abused and abandoned, fi nding their way into a junkyard, paddock or shed where they are left to rust and perish. But with a bit of imagination, breathing life into these tubs can result in a talking-piece feature in the bathroom. Depending on the state of your claw-foot tub, you may need to use the services of a professional during the restoration process, but a lot of preparation work can be done yourself.

Cleaning is the fi rst major step that must be done when restoring an antique claw-foot tub. You’ll need a strong cleanser from the hardware store to cut through the grime and dirt. If the inside of the tub is in OK condition and doesn’t need any porcelain repair, than that’s a huge plus. When it comes to the outside of the tub, depending on the rust and build up of grime, you may need to hire a sandblaster or get a professional to sandblast the outside down to the original iron. However if the tub is in moderate condition, you may be able to tackle the outside and the feet using an industrial sander with an appropriate grinding pad. Remember that quite oft en, the paint used on these old tubs contain lead, so be sure to wear appropriate ventilation masks.

pricetag that comes with it, acrylic could be an alternative. Th e look is similar – one smooth, seamless benchtop that looks as though it is carved out of stone – but it’s a little easier on the back pocket. It can also be cut, shaped, moulded and thermo-formed just like stone.

Advanced polymer resins make them impervious to stains and scratches and chips are easy to fi x. However, they do require some maintenance. Matte fi nishes and lighter colours require an average level of maintenance, while dark colours and gloss fi nish requires more care.

Imitate the look of stone by opting for the faux-stone fi nishes. Acrylic allows you to combine diff erent colours and patterns onto one seamless surface.

If the inside of the tub is badly chipped, stained and rusted, it’s best to get a professional to apply a new coat of porcelain. You can buy porcelain-based products that are simply poured into the tub and allowed to harden, but a professional will be able to best complete the look by using high-build coatings and special fi llers.

Once the inside of the tub is taken care of and the outside of the tub has been prepared, it’s time to paint the outside. Once you’ve chosen the look you want and applied the paint, be sure to add a coat of sealant so splashes don’t ruin the fi nish. If you don’t want a painted look on the outside, a professional can create a glossy, glass-like fi nish on the outside to match the inside. Th e feet are an important part of the whole process and can be quite costly. If they are in bad condition, they can be resurfaced, plated with nickel and resurfaced with a baked epoxy gold or chrome-like fi nish. If your

tub is missing a foot, copies can usually be remade provided the retaining slots

on the tub are still intact.

AFP Excavations and Demolition was established by Ian Michael in Maroochydore back in 1981, just as the

Sunshine Coast started to boom. High-rises along the Esplanade and foreshore began popping up and builders had to wait weeks for earth-moving machinery to excavate, clean their sites and dig footings.

Almost 30 years on, Ian is working on those same buildings as his business digressed into demolition. Ian is now demolishing many of the buildings he worked on in those early days.

The trend is now to buy in a good location and either demolish and build, or strip out the property and renovate. Ian and his experienced team have the knowledge and experience to complete this work with a minimum of fuss.
