The recent cooler weather across the Sunshine Coast had many people digging through their closets for long forgotten winter woollies and jumpers. While we didn’t experience a big freeze

of snow and ice like our counterparts in other parts of Queensland, some businesses felt the sting with the drop in temperature, as clients and customers showed preferences for the cosier confi nes of home. Savvy business owners in hospitality, and food and beverage, rolled out the outdoor heaters with many providing cosy rugs for diners to keep warm.

Although cool, the warmth and enthusiasm of the local and business communities was evident in their support of a number of exciting events across the Caloundra region.

Delegates from Scandinavia and across the globe descended on Caloundra and received a warm welcome from locals and the hospitality industry as part of the International Social Media Tourism Symposium, further engraining our region on the world’s map as a hot spot destination.

Families and the business community alike delighted in revisiting history as part of the Queensland Air Museum Open Cockpit weekend, with chapters of time unfolding through the many displays of fi ghter jets and airplanes, providing memories of the service men and women who bravely fought for our country.

Helping to immortalise these courageous service men and women, Caloundra Chamber member and long term resident of Caloundra, Robyn Hills, volunteered to take part in the Australian Institute of Professional Photography’s national project, taking portraits of the Second World War veterans, many who are living across the Caloundra region.

With displays of warmth from the Caloundra community with these acts, winter feels like it has quickly thawed and is preparing for an early Spring.

creative outlet, I started visualising a swimwear range,” she said.

“It all started with fi nding the right name. It’s inspired by the ocean and beach, Sets of Seven representing the movement of waves rolling in sets of seven - the seventh wave being the biggest,” she said.

As a sunrise designer, Tara deliberated over each decision along the way not knowing how many decisions she would in fact have to make. “I have enjoyed all of the challenges and milestones along the way including setting up a website myself,” Tara said.

Tara grew up on the Coast with the beach and pool lifestyle, and owned many sets of swimsuits. Her mum used to make them for her until she got her fi rst pair of ‘store bought’ swimmers at the age of thirteen.

“I love the feeling of buying a new bikini and was inspired to produce pieces that are well fi tting, wearable and aff ordable for all the other bikini lovers out there like me. Th e inspiration and infl uence of the prints in the fi rst collection are based on original

It’s on! We go behind the runway to preview the international and local style makers responsible for the fashion, the razzle and

the dazzle that makes up this year’s Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival.

For the fi rst time in the event’s eight year history, the style spectacular is being held at Th e Events Centre in Caloundra. With the 2015 line-up shaping up to be the most impressive to date, the festival will see a multitude of designers from couture, ready to wear, ethical design, swim and resort. Here’s a preview of what’s to come.

Sets of Seven SwimwearTara McNeelaSets of Seven Swimwear is a hot new label making its debut by Coolum Beach based designer, Tara McNeela. Th e accomplishment is all the more remarkable because she has had no formal design training.

TaralalaRobert Kennedy Fiji Colours have always been an important factor in Kennedy’s collections and this year is no exception as he draws inspiration from both desert and tropical climates. Th e striking palette brings a riot of colour to the catwalk with colours such as desert orange, zesty lemon, fuchsia and olive blended with his perennial favourites of turquoise and lime green.

“My vision for this range was inspired by a trip to Hawaii and a visit to the famous Doris Duke mansion ‘Shangri La,’ Robert said. Doris Duke was an American heiress, art collector and philanthropist who commissioned the Shangri La mansion near Diamond Head. She fi lled it with furnishings from Morocco, Turkey, Spain, Egypt and India.”

Henriette was based in Toronto, Canada working in interior design before marrying an Aussie and moving to the Coast. She studied building design and technology at TAFE and worked in the draft ing and design department for Vantage Homes. Before long she had created eighty percent of their house designs.

“I decided to branch out on my own four years ago. As a mum with two children I needed the fl exibility around work and raising my children. I won’t deny it was a struggle at fi rst, the work was irregular and unpredictable for the fi rst couple of years.”

“In 2014 the business really took off . I’m established now and have a solid portfolio of designs. My homes are a good value proposition that clients can’t ignore.”

In the last ten years Henriette has seen house lots get smaller and smaller. Land prices have quadrupled in a decade. Out of necessity and in response to market trends, she was forced to learn to design smaller houses.

“Th e lots are half the size of ten years ago - 350 square metre lots have become common. I started with the traditional 800

Henriette Werner likes to slip into something a little more comfortable for a standard work day. Her pyjamas! As

the owner of Principal Plans, a building design company based in her Caloundra home offi ce. It’s a luxury she appreciates.

“You’ll very oft en fi nd me in my pyjamas, working at home. I typically wake up, have a coff ee and start drawing. Working from home I fi nd the offi ce is always there – I walk past it all the time and it draws me in. I like to be comfortable when I’m creating,” she says.

Her business specialises in small-lot design and one of her designs recently won the BDAQ State Awards for Small Lot Design, a joint design eff ort with builder Monooka Homes.

“I’ve always had a long term view of my career from the moment I started out. It centred on providing safe sanctuaries for women and their children. My work is aligned with my deepest values,” Henriette says.

“Growing up I didn’t feel safe at home and once I married and became a mother it became an even more compelling need for me to design homes where the occupants felt safe. Th e idea of designing great homes for families

square metre lots but over time these lots have disappeared and been replaced with smaller and narrower lots. Th e developers dictated to the industry what had to be designed and built. It was a natural progression that I started to specialise in small-lot design.”

“Most of my work is done through builders. Th e typical client is usually on their second or third home. I reassure them, they don’t need to be scared off by the small block. Th e trend for suburban master planned developments now is pockets of small lots with a large common area. People have lost their backyard, but gained a playground at the end of the street.

Henriette says small houses can be wonderful homes and when she is designing, the functionality of the house is of the utmost importance.

“I liken it to a bunch of puzzle pieces. Th e restrictions of the site impact on what I can and can’t do. Form follows function and I create usable spaces wherever I go. I’m solving puzzles all day, which is fun.”

“Th ere is an element of apprehension with clients. Th ey haven’t seen the new thing yet. How is it going to work? How will my family fi t in? Most are not used to reading fl oor plans and fi nd it confusing to visualise the space. I provide them with 3D perspective images to assist this process.”

Trends wise, Henriette says the kitchen is still the heart of the home for most people and individuality comes and goes with colours and fi nishes.

“I recharge creatively and draw inspiration

from around the world. I look for a broader infl uence (online) and see what other designers are doing. Everything we create has been inspired from seeing something somewhere.”

To aspiring designers she has this advice. “Go out and grab it and make it for yourself. Home will always be a beautiful place, it’s people’s anchor.”

“Everything is aligning at the moment,” she says. “Principal Plans is my creation and I love it to bits.”

Jay was working as a chef full-time and Kirsty was working full-time too, but they decided to dedicate their nights and weekends to building up their boutique business.

star and award-winning author of Th e Happiest Refugee, Anh Do has made the fi nals with his oil on mirror entry titled Saltwater Man.

“An Aboriginal mate recently told me that the land where he grew up is not just a place to him. He said it’s like family to me; it’s more like my mother. I will forever feel a connection to it. Wherever I am, the land is in me and I am in the land.”

Forty artists from around Australia are vying for the title of Sunshine Coast Art Prize winner – in the two-dimensional

category. Th e prestigious Sunshine Coast Art Prize, now in its tenth year is a signifi cant cultural initiative for the region off ering combined prizes valued at $125,000.

Division 2 Councillor Tim Dwyer says the two dimensional award provides a distinguished contribution to both the local and national art calendar.

“Th e Sunshine Coast Art Prize has achieved national acclaim for its representation of contemporary Australian art and off ers opportunities within painting, new media, sculpture and more,” he said. “Th ere is no doubt our region is earning a reputation for its love of the arts.”

Th e Caloundra Chamber of Commerce has sponsored the 2D People’s Choice award in this year’s celebrations with a $2,500 cash prize going to the winner. Earlier this month more than 380 art entries were whittled down by industry professionals to 40 outstanding fi nalists. Here is a preview of three of the fi nalists from around Australia bringing their individual style and fl avour to the regional landscape.

Anh painted Saltwater Man using several shades of red ochre to represent the spirit of Saltwater Man.

“I painted his face on a mirror so that the painting can ‘contain’ in it all of the surroundings. Th e viewer becomes a part of it also. Th e painting is in the space and the space is in the painting.”

For many thousands of years the Bungarnuba (Saltwater People) roamed the land around Caloundra and some of the tribes used red ochre to decorate their weapons and their bodies for ceremonies.

Robyn Hills (Caloundra) Robyn Hills, one of Australia’s highest awarded photographers is a fi nalist with her photography on watercolour piece Waiting in a Kombi at Moff at Beach. Passionate about photography and about life, Robyn believes she has a dream job – getting paid to be creative.

“Th e Kerridge family of Dicky Beach inherited the Kombi from Peter’s father. It was to be the basis of their family photograph. With cyclonic weather, there was the consideration to re-schedule. But the worst weather presents the best photographic opportunities. I believe this image encompasses the history of the vehicle, the family and their beloved local area.”

Following on from the last edition of Buzz, we examine Caloundra’s unique position as part of the Sunshine Coast

and the opportunities that lay ahead.

Business centres thrive when they’re able to successfully promote a unique selling proposition, better known as a USP. When a place does something or off ers something better than anywhere else, people will fl ock to see it and explore all a town has to off er.

Caloundra already provides something that very few places do. We have an amazing network of coastal pathways and bike trails that link our town’s six beautiful beaches with the CBD. Coupled with existing wide streets like Bowman Road and a master planning process that’s looking at new access options into town, why wouldn’t Caloundra aim to be Australia’s most walkable beachside town?

Many destinations around the world have embraced the concept of walkability and this has transformed their visitor experience. Global icons such as Cinque Terre in Italy personify the success of coastal communities that thrive without cars and where walkways connect the whole community.

What Caloundra does off er however is a prominent main street design linked with parks, laneways, council owned land and incredible view corridors, all essential ingredients for further developing a network of pedestrian friendly areas. Th e Coastal Pathway linking Golden Beach right through to Currimundi Lake and beyond already provides a clear and safe non-vehicular access to the CBD from both directions.

Relying less on cars and making Caloundra a more pedestrian friendly place makes a lot of sense when considering both tourism operators and retailers alike. While other areas will struggle with the issue of car parking, Caloundra has the opportunity to go against the tide by retaining the relaxed beach town feel that has such great affi nity with the generations of visitors from decades past. Th e Australian population is ageing and it’s also becoming more active and health conscious. Th e idea that a destination off ers users a perfect balance of eclectic shopping,

day and night leisure spaces and meeting spots wrapped up in low traffi c environment will be of great appeal to a big chunk of the market into the future.

Th ere is one main hurdle we need to overcome to achieve this vision for Caloundra. It might seem contradictory, but we need a signifi cant increase in the regional population. Even with pedestrian friendly shared zones and leafy streets, the key to overcoming our addiction with cars is frequent and reliable public transport linking the CBD to its suburban neighbours. Ultimately, the installation of a light rail line is the answer but the numbers need to stack up fi rst. Coupled together with new higher density residential projects in the CBD, it’s the connection to Kawana, Mooloolaba and Maroochydore that will allow Caloundra to build on its USP as a walkable and highly desirable CBD.

Tourism aside, it’s the people that call the Sunshine Coast home who will be the big winners when we fi nally have a quality mass transit system in place. Riding a taxi between Mooloolaba to Caloundra can be a $100 adventure, take my word for it. Th at’s entry for two to Australia Zoo but it is the world we live in and the reason we need a better way for our customers to reach us.

The little battler from Bankstown has come a long way. Peter Stevens, better known as Yoda, has just celebrated

twenty years in radio with Hot FM. Th e radio sales master kicked off his music career in Sydney as tour manager for the classic eighties band, Th e Radiators.

“I come from a big family of six,” Peter says. I left school aft er Year 10. I was always the class clown; I liked socialising and making the other kids laugh, but the study, not so much.”

“Luckily the social skills I had were the right fi t for the music industry. I scored myself a gig as tour manager with Th e Radiators when they started making an impact on the Australian music scene. I toured with them and a stack of other Aussie bands in their heyday,” he says.

Aft er a decade of touring Peter decided he needed a change. “I wasn’t making enough money from music management so I took off to Cairns and got a sales gig with Hot FM. In my fi rst week on the job the sales manager pulled me aside and said ‘you need to learn to iron a shirt.’ It wasn’t long aft er that I got the nickname Yoda.

“Get this,” he says, “I’ve still never seen any of the Star Wars movies but from what I’m told I should accept the wise guy part.”

Peter settled eff ortlessly into radio sales. “Th e thing is, it’s about the people. I’m a people person and my clients inevitably become my friends as well. I get my job done because of that. I’m honest and reliable and I try my

He may no longer be a tour manager, but it’s still all about the music.

hardest to get the best results for my clients.”

“Radio is as close as I can be to the music industry and still earn a good living. It crosses over and it’s a good lifestyle, he says. “Radio has given me the opportunity to travel and I’ve worked on radio promotions with artists like Aerosmith, Def Leppard and Chris Isaak. I recently played golf with Alice Cooper and his super producer Shep Gordon.”

Peter made the move to Hot 91.1 on the Sunshine Coast in 2003. He is the only original sales member left in the team.

Th ere are thousands of sales reps on the Coast and I’ve got to be better than them.”

Media commentators and academics have labelled radio a dinosaur for years and every other form of media advertising has tried to kill it off , but it has survived.

“Th e fact that radio now has embraced integration of digital has actually enhanced our off ering. It’s crazy what you can do now,” Peter says.

“Our industry is one of ideas – theatre of the mind. We create a story through the speakers. Radio is alive and well on the Sunshine Coast. We’re giving more power to the listeners than ever before – they are choosing the music they want to listen to, the topics they want discussed.””

“My mates think I’ve got the best job in the world but it’s actually pretty hard work. Th ere are long hours involved, the social scene is relentless in our industry – functions and promotions. You’ve got to be there.”

“Away from radio land I listen to and appreciate all styles of music. I have a real passion for Australian music. I grew up with Midnight Oil and Crowded House. I’m also a big fan of Cold Play. I play guitar, I meditate a lot and just switch off .

“I still love what I do but who knows? I’ve never entertained the idea of moving from sales to behind the microphone because I think I’d swear too much on air. Th ey wouldn’t have a long enough bleeper!”

Radio is as close as I can be to the music industry and still earn a good living... I’ve worked with Aerosmith and Def Leppard

“I’ve seen so many people come and go. When people get into radio sales they oft en have the wrong idea about it. It can be so rewarding if you can fi nd your way with it. Persistence is necessary. I’ve always been a positive guy and try to balance my fun character with the professionalism needed to thrive.”

“Radio is radio,” he says “it’s the other things you do around the campaign that enable it to get a result for the clients. It’s a competitive game; you’ve got to have a point of diff erence.

Rainware Outdoor Showers, designers and manufacturers of Australia’s largest range of contemporary, luxury showers for backyards, pool sides,

beaches and jetties can now add the Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa to their impressive list of international clientele.

Th e commissioning of fourteen outdoor showers by the resort on Denarau Island, Fiji caps off an interesting period of growth for the Caloundra business which is owned and operated by Stephen and Sharon Gowlett.

“We’ve been in business for ten years now and over the past couple of years have built up good relationships with architects that are fans of our designs and are specifying Rainware on projects they are working on,” Stephen says.

“Th is includes producing customised outdoor showers for El Questro Wilderness Park in the Kimberley’s, Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef, Leighton Beach in Fremantle and substantial commercial orders for the Defence Force and the Alice Springs Aquatic and Leisure Centre.”

In Australia most of their demand comes from the domestic sector with an estimated 5% supplied for commercial and local government projects. All components in the Rainware range are made in South East Queensland to the highest technical standard.

Stephen says builders, architects and outdoor landscapers are impressed by the durability and longevity of the showers. He was responsible for designing and manufacturing the fi rst 316 marine grade stainless steel tapware fi ve years ago. A marine propeller company casts the raw material for Rainware, which is what inspired him to design them in the shape of propellers.

“Th e material life span of these premium products means they will last forever. Stainless steel doesn’t corrode like brass, its ideal for the conditions. Pools are built to last tens of years so it makes sense that architects would chose a companion product that lasts the distance also,” he says.

Like many businesses in the manufacturing sector, the Gowletts have had to adjust to fl uctuating market conditions.

“In summer this year Aldi fl ooded the market with an imported China outdoor shower. It was cheap and it wiped out our traditional market share,” Stephen says. “Previously as manufacturers we weren’t responsible for marketing, the retailers we sold to were the

Great showers are just the start of the story for this business success story.

EXPORTING TO EXOTIC DENARU ISLAND

We’ve been in business ten years now and have built up good relationships with architects that are fans of our designs

primary drivers of this, but with the soft ening retail market we found we needed to also be proactive in raising awareness of our products.”

“Demand was fl at and it was the fi rst time in ten years that had happened. Th e high end niche market that we had dominated for a decade was falling off a little. We identifi ed that we needed to re-look at the product range and target areas where we could get new sales activity moving.”

Ian Macfarlane, Minister for Industry & Science visited the Rainware factory recently and met owners Stephen & Sharon Gowlett

WHAT WE’VE LEARNED• Building the business is easier if you

start with something you really believe in.

• Don’t spend money on design until you’ve done customer research. If people have got a problem and you can solve it with your product in a novel way = opportunity

• Look at the competition, reference against what you’re proposing to do, and then make your product a little different, a little better to get the edge.

Stephen got to work and developed and produced a new product for the mid-range price category.

“Th e high quality inherent in the product is still there, but it’s more aff ordable than the full stainless steel models that are synonymous with the Rainware brand. Th e design incorporates a 250mm round rose with black UV stabilized plastic.”


It never ceases to amaze me how much talent exists on the Sunshine Coast, and how ingenious entrepreneurs will turn

something that seems so obvious into a thriving business.

Recently I came across a remarkable group of wedding suppliers who call themselves the Caloundra Wedding Collective, a not for profi t group of some 60 suppliers that aim to raise the profi le of Caloundra as a premier destination on the Sunshine Coast for weddings.

Caloundra has traditionally been seen as the gateway to the Sunshine Coast, and with the help of concepts such as that of the Wedding Collective, this gateway is rapidly becoming a popular destination in its own right.

Locals know that our little piece of paradise is brimming with choice – the choice of spectacular beaches and parks, each with unique vistas and all with easy access, making Caloundra an obvious choice for a wedding destination. Until recently Noosa and the

Hinterland have been the traditional choices for couples wanting to exchange their wedding vows.

Th e Caloundra Wedding Collective realised that a one-stop website would go a long way to making it easy for couples planning a Caloundra wedding, raising the profi le of members as well as Caloundra.

Th e Collective off ers a comprehensive online information portal, a gateway if you will, to a wedding smorgasbord and once a year they take the on-line portal to the streets of Caloundra. An innovation in its own right, the Caloundra Wedding Open Day is like a wedding expo but on a wedding trail. Couples are invited to hop aboard the funky Deluxe Beach Kombi to tour the Caloundra beaches and see fi rst-hand, styled beach weddings already set-up. From there they take a self-guided tour of wedding and reception

The Bruce Highway is the lifeline of the Sunshine Coast. It connects us to our State’s economic hub, feeds our strong

tourism industry and is extremely important to our entire business community.

Th e Sunshine Coast is on the cusp of great things. We are attracting vibrant and diverse industries and great innovators to our region and key infrastructure like the Bruce Highway is integral to our success and development.

To date, upgrading this important infrastructure has come in patches, quick fi xes that serve a purpose of 5 or so years. Th is has to change for us to capitalise on the opportunities that are before us. To neglect our most important transport link would come at the detriment to our businesses and residents.

In June I met with my other Federal colleagues representing Longman, Petrie and Dickson who all have the desire to upgrade the Bruce

Highway properly and as soon as possible. So we have joined forces and launched the Boost the Bruce campaign.

Our aim is to work together to secure the appropriate state and federal funding to bring a signifi cant upgrade to fruition.

As our fi rst step we have secured $8 million in funding to plan the 6 lane upgrade from the Caloundra Road interchange to Pine River and address the fl ooding issues which is top of mind aft er recent rain events. Once the study is completed we will know the options and costs for this upgrade.

Th e next step will be to secure federal and state government funding. And for this we need your help.

As elected members we work hard to advocate for infrastructure upgrades that benefi t our region. It is also extremely important that our community, from residents to business owners, stand up and be heard.

Once released I will work with the Caloundra Chamber to promote the petition amongst the business community. I ask that you support the Boost the Bruce campaign by displaying the petition in your business, sharing my social media posts and encouraging others to do the same.

Together, we can make this the number one infrastructure priority for South East Queensland.
