It is 5 minutes by road to the M1 at Pimpama, allowing for an easy commute north to Brisbane or south to the Gold Coast attractions. Of the original 58 Lots, only 8 remain unsold and Alex Adler has been involved with the marketing virtually from its inception, initially with another agency but independently as Adler Realty since We are currently in negotiations with prospective buyers for several of the remaining Lots and expect that these will be cleared over the next few months.
It is a measure of customer satisfaction with Adler Realty that we have also been entrusted with many re-sales in The Grange, both vacant blocks and completed houses. Yallanbee is a high-quality acreage estate, accessed along Welches Road, off the Oxenford-Tamborine Road at Wongawallan. Glossy brochures, babes and studs standing around in the Queensland sun pitching the project, almost three years before the wavepool reveal that shocked the surfing world.
From time to time the state is disfigured by paroxysms of development. The Gold Coast, canal estates, high-rises, etc etc. Bulldozers are like crack cocaine to a certain type of human animal. The state even has its own mythological developers who exerted an outsize influence on the political process, the so-called white-shoe brigade.
He donated the land and a half-a-million dollars for the Hurley HPC and was subsequently made a life member of Surfing Australia. The organisation that Andrew Stark led for close enough to a decade and left to join the WSL, with close to a singular mission: get the first Kelly Slater tub launched in Australia. The last developer to make a donation to the Australian Labor Party which holds power in Queensland on the day the Premier banned them in Oct, ? Perspectives on property developers giving money to politicians are very much in the eye of the beholder.
Others see undue influence. They saw bush and tried to preserve it. The process was not quite as squeaky clean and praiseworthy as Carroll paints it. In May , the Tweed Shire Council, which hosts Casuarina, was sacked after an independent report found it had been the puppet of developers.
All perfectly legal and there is no suggestion otherwise. I foot-slogged it through Nambour, the old faded cane town half-an-hour inland from Coolum, looking for the Sunshine Coast Environment Centre.
A low-set building nestled in a back alley, around the corner from a community building where an outdoor soup kitchen was set-up, a dozen hard scrabble crew leaning against a wall smoking cigarettes. We already know what they will say: increased impacts expected from sea-level rise, storm surge and flooding on the short, coastal Maroochy catchment. Bigger floods, greater inundation, higher insurance costs, evacuation plans for residents.
Gimme my man-made floodplain toobs and eco-lodge. It aims to build blue carbon, the sexiest form of carbon, by sequestering it in coastal wetlands. I kid, Blue Heart is a Sunshine coast directive aimed at blue carbon in the Maroochy wetlands. Crickets at time of publication. This risky and energy intensive process could severely impact on the hydrology of the river and its protected wetlands.
Rejected by Tokyo and Paris, the universe where the wavepool is the accepted venue is becoming an increasingly parallel one. I do feel a little sorry for them that they are not pitching this in the age of the old print mags, where sympathetic coverage by the old-boy network, if not outright advocacy, could be assured.
The timeline of being tapped on the shoulder by the WSL to deliver on the pool while his pal needed some sizzle to sell a piece of very soggy steak where both partners could turn floodplain into billions of dollars was not discussed. In May , six months before Nine's Maddison Estate launch, the Brisbane Times reported an angry meeting of investors in one of Peter Drake's funds, whose money had been frozen since Two days later, the Australian Financial Review reported that Drake's investors had enlisted lawyers Piper Alderman to recover their money.
Piper Alderman is involved in numerous class actions, including one against another Gold Coast-based mortgage fund, Equititrust, and is preparing to launch a class action on behalf of LM investors. Because in five months since the collapse this is the only time they've referred to it. And you have to listen very carefully to catch it. Libby Stone: Far from your average beach house, Ocean View is tucked away on millionaire's row.
Libby Stone: Some of the biggest properties along this prized Mermaid Beach strip have previously sold for up to 19 million. So here's a story about a major financial collapse involving a Queensland company, a Queensland businessman and hundreds of Queensland investors.
And what do we get. Two gushing real estate stories and a promotional video with the Nine network's name attached to it. Frankly, it is pathetic.
So what's Nine's excuse? Well, we don't know because it's their policy not to answer questions from Media Watch. Perhaps their viewers will have more luck. And if you want more on these stories you can go to our website. But for now that's all from me.
