BUILDING STIMULUS TURNS THE TABLES BY TANIA PHILLIPS THE building market in Noosa/Sunshine Coast was set to drop by at least two thirds in August and September before last week’s HomeBuilder stimulus package was announced. Master Builders Queensland Sunshine Coast Regional Manager, Will Wilson said the package was like ‘JobKeeper’ for tradies and came at a time when new inquiries for residential construction were starting to dry up. He said while there had been criticism that the $25,000 Homebuilder package was being given to people who didn’t need it that wasn’t the point of the grant.. “It’s not for the people receiving the $25,000 it is an important grant to keep tradespeople working,” Mr Wilson explained. He said in the Sunshine Coast-Noosa Council areas between $18-$20k work on job sites. “That’s 11.9 percent of the employment in the area - making it the largest employer in the region.” The work currently being undertaken in the area was organized and signed off on before the Corona Virus lockdown but that work was due to run out in August or September and there had been very few people going to talk to their master builder about renovations or new builds. However he said there had been a “massive surge” in enquiries since the announcement late last week. According to Mr Wilson the stimulus package was likely to provide work for builders and tradies for the next 12 months and have a flow-on affect to the whole local economy especially to the badly hit tourism and hospitality industry. “If the tradies are working they will keep going to restaurants,” he said simply. Brisbane-based Master Builders CEO Grant Galvin concurred with Mr Wilson saying that the package would “ensure residential construction in Queensland doesn’t fall off a cliff” in the next few months. “The $25,000 HomeBuilder package will

The new Government stimulus package will keep Tradies in business and have a flow-on to all local businesses according to the master Builders Association of Queensalnd. certainly head off the looming crisis facing the industry, by ensuring demand for new homes is boosted, protecting thousands of building industry jobs,” Mr Galvin said. “This latest round of stimulus, which will commence immediately, is so important as it’s another piece of the stimulus puzzle and will support other measures announced recently by the Queensland Government.” He said the Association hoped that the State Government would go even further by expanding the $15,000 First Home Owners’ Grant to all new home builds. “That would put Queensland firmly at the front of the game and mean anyone building a new home in Queensland would be eligible for $40,000 towards their new

home, not just first home buyers,” Mr Galvin said. “We’re also asking the Queensland Government to urgently bring forward and consider new opportunities for social housing - whether this be a new social housing construction program or maintenance of existing stock. “Programs like this have a clear community benefit, as well as ensuring the industry has a clear pipeline of work and certainty, and support smaller contractors, who won’t necessarily see the benefit of the new home stimulus or the renovation package on offer. “The renovation component of the package is also welcome - let’s face it, any stimulus is good stimulus.

“We have fielded some enquiries as to why the minimum spend is $150,000 and while it would have been nice for smaller renovations to be included, the data we’ve seen so far suggests the renovation market has been busy in recent months, particularly for smaller projects like bathrooms and kitchens. “We’re confident the stimulus will ensure the money is spent where it’s needed. “At the end of the day, though, we need the Queensland Government to consider their options and make decisions swiftly, so that home owners have the confidence to proceed and sign a contract immediately and a clear pipeline of projected work is put in place.” ●

ON THE COVER

THIS GLITTERING MASTERPIECE A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART IMAGINE requisite uninterrupted gunbarrel views along Noosa Main Beach, Noosa River mouth and beyond to the Coloured Sands and Mt Cooroy, a masterpiece in contemporary design, inspired by everything ultra-luxurious with no expense spared. It is undoubtedly Little Cove’s most talked-about residence and an absolute tribute to its location. Step into a blissful dream, across a tapestry of terrazzo platforms which are ‘interwoven’ by water, lead to the front door, emanate from a frameless glass window of the study and flow into a mosaic-tiled dazzling pool, spa and onwards. Interiors exemplify a sense of calm, almost a Zen simplicity with the most critical spaces and corridors responding with patterns of northerly light. The palette of finishes, colours and materials celebrate coastal living sans beachy cliches. Head-turning bling throughout from sassy chandeliers hanging from the almost celestial-height ceiling, glitzy accoutrements throughout, sparkly ‘jade’ trees, lustrous finely-beaded crystal light fittings and more, all adding elements of wonderful surprise, as do treasured collections of memorabilia in the state-of-the-art professional sound studio, custom designed and engineered by international studio designer John Sayers Productions. Living the good life is evocative of 6-star and entertaining from grand scale upstairs to casual. Doors everywhere seemingly disappear and stretch from massive indoor spaces into oversize areas with green backdrops. On the ‘gallery’ level it’s all about the terrace with numerous seating options from around the pool or dining alfresco with its outdoor kitchen and alternate options indoors such as mixology moments at the cocktail bar or napping in a comfy sofa. Four master-sized bedrooms on this level, all have ensuites and shoji-panelled doors. One has a walk-in robe and two on

the northern side abut a beautiful water feature and share a deck, suited to sun worshippers and early morning coffee aficionados. All wet areas indoors have heated flooring. Upstairs is next level living and dining with wide treads of glowing brushbox timber, gas fireplace, grand piano and the most stunning metallic-look cabinetry and integrated appliances with black onyx and marble kitchen and wet bar, reminiscent of a very smart boutique hotel. Once again, living areas connect seamlessly to outdoors. On-song is the opulent and beguiling master suite with an oversize ensuite and a travertine oval bath inviting long interludes while soaking away in the oval Travertine bath. The shiny black walk-in robe is a fashionista's dream. Now wait there’s more. Pop upstairs to the sky terrace for a spa and sundowners as the sun sets across Noosa Heads and way, way beyond. It does not get much better. Tempted by the sound of the custom design and engineered recording and mixing studio for music recording, production, mixing, podcasts, YouTube, movie production, voice overs and more? There is also a media room with projector with a 149-inch projector screen, surround sound with built-in side and rear in wall speakers. Say no more. “It’s obvious there was absolutely no expense spared building this trophy home,” Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann said. “The location too is second-to-none. “Prestigious Little Cove is where the ocean meets rainforest albeit the worldfamous Noosa National Park, where minutes away sophisticated Hastings Street meets laidback Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay. Let’s face it there’s no place like Noosa.” ●

HOW TO BRING THE HAMPTONS HOME THERE are a number of key ways to create stunning Hamptons style interiors for your home, even if you don’t live on the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. It is up to your budget and your existing home design as to what extent you bring in Hamptons style interiors into your home, but here are some core principles to follow once you start the design process. Hamptons style interiors Embracing the natural world Hamptons homes are all about the beach and being close to the beach. If your home doesn’t happen to be situated right on the shoreline, and fair enough, you can still work on the principle of blurring the lines between nature and the home. There is a strong interplay between natural light, decking that blurs with the interior flooring of a home, indoor plants, open-plan living spaces and floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows that invite the outside world into the home. You won’t find many Hamptons style interiors that don’t make the most of most if not all of these design principles. Uncomplicated design: views are paramount Views are everything when it comes to Hamptons style interiors, as the simplicity of a Hamptons home is built around an appreciation for these views. Even if you don’t have the sort of views that only hedge fund managers can afford, think about how you can either make the most of the views you have or invest in ways to create views. A view doesn’t have to necessarily be of rolling hills or breaking waves, but can be of a jungle garden that you have spent years cultivating. This is a longterm project that can be beneficial to the worth of your home as well as your experience of it. Homes without views don’t have to stay that way, you just have to be creative about what your windows look out to. If you live close to your neighbours and it happens to be a fence that your kitchen looks out to, that’s just an easy opportunity to hang plants and create a new experience within your home. A love for wood Wood panelling is synonymous with Hamptons home design, whether it be untreated, aged wood creating grey exteriors or wood exteriors and interiors painted overwhelmingly in white. Bring in this love for wood with an interplay of textures (sanded vs rough woods and wood varieties) as well as colours and varnishes without going over the top to make it feel like there might just possibly be an ocean lapping outside. The Hamptons colour palette The colour palette of the classic Hamptons home is as famous as the celebrities who own the houses and is key to creating 16 NOOSA TODAY

Embracing wooden paneling and furniture helps create depth in overwhelmingly ‘white’ spaces. Hamptons style interiors. This can be done without making it too obvious that you are leaning heavily on any one design ethos, especially if you live 16,000km away from the Hamptons. White is the key player here, but to create that Hamptons look, there is a strong use of stone/slate-blue on exterior wood panelling or decking, as well as other subdued natural tones. com.au

10 TIPS TO PROTECT BAYSIDE PROPERTIES LIVING by the sea, whether it be by an ocean beach or owning a bayside house, comes with a range of benefits that can improve your mental and physical health. But how is your dream bayside home fairing in that coastal weather? Corrosion and damage from the elements when living by the sea can eventually impact your hip pocket more than a metropolitan home. Here are 10 tips for protecting your bayside house from sea spray and damaging elements. 1. Choose your materials wisely Your choice of paints, both exterior and interior, as well as your choice of building and fixture materials will impact your beside homeâ€™s ability to withstand the elements. Houses in Australia last, on average, 88 years for a brick home and 58 years for a timber home. However, bayside houses often incur the most severe weather that forms over the ocean and then hits the coastline at certain times of the year. The CSIRO, Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Academy of Sciences have pointed to the fact that by 2030, Australia will see increases in storm surges and severe weather events as well as up to 20 per cent more months of drought. This means your bayside house stands to face both an increase in wind, rain and salt spray but also days where severe heat will affect the materials within and outside of your home. Choose high-strength exterior paints in high-gloss or satin finishes, as low-sheen paints attract salt more. Consider using polyurethane finishes for your timber, such as your decking, while make sure you use high quality painting materials and employ a professional painter to ensure the quality of your exterior paint work. 2. Metals are your most prized possession Use weather-resistant metals on the exterior of your bayside home. These can include stainless steel with a chromium oxide layer, red metals such as copper, galvanised steel or aluminium. Galvanised steel is the least aesthetic of the metals but is the most resistant to the elements. Consider ways to use its aesthetic qualities (or lack thereof) to your advantage. Alternatively, choose metals that rust naturally and work these into your architectural designs alongside other rustic materials, such as timber. Apply specialised sprays, which you can source for differing metal types, to regularly protect your metal from coastal spray and salt corrosion. 3. Consider appliances that may be impacted by the elements It can be easy to focus on your walls and roof when protecting your bayside house but donâ€™t forget the various fixtures and appliances that may surround or be attached to your home. These include 18 NOOSA TODAY

movable limbs of your home that see the most activity and so have to withstand both the elements and your use of them. 5. Secure everything on the outside For bayside houses, loose fixtures such as on your solar panels, wiring, guttering, roof tiles and more are at the biggest risk from serious storm surges. Monitor these regularly and secure them effectively so that there is no chance that they can come loose in a storm and do major damage to either your home or a neighbourâ€™s home.

4. Invest in high-quality windows and window seals Your window cladding, choice of window glass and, finally, your choice of window seals will do a lot in protecting your home from the elements during major storms. A lot that can go wrong in a house can start from your windows, as these the com.au

6. Consider your feet Living by the beach will see you often walking around in bare feet, so choose materials within and outside of your home that work in a coastal climate. Bayside houses often feature timber flooring both inside and outside, due to them being warmer underfoot in the colder months and for how easy they are to clean. However, wood flooring can absorb moisture, of which there is plenty in bayside homes. Consider high-density timbers in your internal flooring that is more moisture-resistant. noosatoday.com.au

FROM THE IMPACT OF THE ELEMENTS

Your window cladding, choice of window glass and, finally, your choice of window seals will do a lot in protecting your home from the elements during major storms.

Wood flooring can absorb moisture, of which there is plenty in bayside homes. Consider highdensity timbers in your internal flooring that is more moisture-resistant. 7. Monitor your home As you would have guessed already, protecting your home from the elements when living by the sea is all about prevention. Stay vigilant of potential causes for damage, such as overhanging trees, which would be impacted by storm surges and strong winds. Also keep an eye out on fixtures, the state of your gutters, window seals, and roof tiles for signs of damage. Set up reminders in your phone once a month to walk around the house and inspect the exterior of your home for damage, rust, corrosion or signs of wear. noosatoday.com.au

8. Install an outdoor shower or invest in a separate laundry Bayside houses are inevitably their own gigantic sand pits due to how much you and the pooch drag in after each afternoon walk. Sand can fill gaps in your timber flooring or cause abrasion on internal fixtures and furniture. To help prevent this slow longterm damage, install an outdoor shower or find other solutions like creating a walkthrough laundry in which you can wash down the dog and remove sand from your feet and clothes.

9. Wash exterior surfaces every few months Again, set up reminders on your phone that will have you regularly washing exterior surfaces on your home. For those bayside houses that are right by the water, you will want to do this every couple of months if not monthly. Simply hosing down your house’s exterior will wash off corrosive salt that builds up from the wind. 10. Use local expertise Another form of prevention comes to the conversations you have on the street. Beyond spending your money on the materials you use and the protective sprays com.au

and finishes rather than eventually spending a lot more money on major repairs, utilise the expertise of those around you. Ask around in the neighbourhood to see what others, especially those who have lived in the area for a long time, use for protecting their bayside houses. Don’t necessarily take on the newest technology if it is not fully tested or has not had time to demonstrate its utility. Seek tried and tested technologies and materials in your fenestration.

We can help your business...

Come Back Stronger! Dear local business partners, The Coronavirus has triggered a major economic shock, and local businesses are doing it tough. However, throughout history when transformational shocks to the economy occur, they always create opportunity too. In times of crisis, we need to push panic aside and make calm, clear-headed decisions – and look for OPPORTUNITY! • The JobKeeper and JobSeeker payments will assist in supporting the local economy. • Initial surveys show much of this stimulus money will be spent locally. • Restrictions are slowly easing, so expect consumers to be more active. • The restrictions have created pent up consumer demand across our region. • Demand for local consumer goods and services is likely to be higher than normal, given continued severe restrictions in other sectors. • For some, this could provide a greater opportunity to spend. There is plenty of opportunity! And the businesses that are most proactive will seize it. It may seem counter-intuitive, but there has never been a better or more important time to work on your next marketing move. Our team can help you engage with thousands of locals through our digital newspapers, news websites, social channels and provide tools to enhance your online presence! Now is the time to plan and act! We’re ready to help businesses design and implement marketing campaigns that tap into local opportunities. No obligation, just trusted advice. Call us NOW on 0439 377 525 - we’d like to help you COME BACK STRONGER! Regards, Phill Le Petit Advertising Sales Manager Noosa Today phill.lepetit@noosatoday.com.au 12451372-CG24-20
