July 2015 villagenews 3

CONCERNED families, residents, business owners and politicians took to the streets at New Farm on 20 May to protest against the proposed mobile phone tower at 92-96 Merthyr Road.

The protest was aimed at stepping up pressure on Vodafone and Optus to reconsider putting the tower within 200 metres of the Holy Spirit Primary School because of concerns about what opponents say are dangerous electromagnetic radiation levels.

The proposed new tower would replace an existing nearby tower due to be taken out of service in September. Vodafone has said there were no government regulations relating to a buffer zone and that there would be no safety issues.

More than 1000 concerned people have signed a petition against the tower location.

Nicole Cronk, who organized the protest and has three children attending Holy Spirit School, said that in the absence of long-term studies of radiation she was unwilling to allow children to be “guinea pigs”.

“Until there is definitive evidence that long-term exposure to this radiation will not have an adverse health impact on our children, we say ‘No tower near our school’,” Mrs Cronk said.Gambaro demands see page 13 >>

PROGRESS, modern, cutting edge, revitalise, redefine, public benefit, green space.

Such are the hymns that fill the property developer’s song book, intoned whenever a new project is unveiled.

To oppose progress, modernism and the cutting edge is to be antediluvian. A failure to burst into applause at the mention of revitalise and redefine is akin to civic treason.

Public benefit and green space? The largesse of the developers knows no bounds. Cue the images of little kiddies frolicking on the manicured lawns they so generously provide. Saints have been canonised for less.

Development then, is a good thing. Ask anyone who has made a lot of money from it and they will tell you how wonderful it is.

The managing director of developer Sunland, Sahlea Abedian, thinks it’s a good thing.

Sunland is building Grace on Coronation, a three tower apartment complex on the former ABC riverfront

site at Toowong. It is more than an apartment complex. It will be, said Mr Obedian, “an iconographic and sculptural precinct.”

The mere viewing Grace on Coronation may well be a life changing experience as the eye takes in what have been described as three champagne flutes on the river bank.

The development may well become one of the wonders of the modern word, Brisbane’s answer to Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

It is, however, to reach between 24 and 27 storeys high on a site where the city plan imposes a height limit of 15 storeys.

The city plan is increasingly being treated by the Brisbane City Council as an annoying irrelevance, to be ignored where convenient.

The Campbell’s Riverside Marine site in Skyring Terrace is another riverfront site where the council appears determined to trash the neighbourhood plan and allow apartment towers far higher than permitted by the plan. Why? Because it feels that it can.

Development might be good, but as I realized when I first discovered beer, you can have too much of a good thing.

“It’s just ridiculous to see the proper procedures weren’t really followed” Jill Lodder

“We’ve already combatted a phone tower just up the road by using special shielding, so to have another tower go up it’s just devastating. We have a young baby so we want to protect our children” Lee-Anne Stevens

CityCats ‘purrfect’ for cruise ship tourists visiting BrisbaneI WELCOME Mike O’Connor’s comments (Village News, May) regarding affordable river access and marinas. Our river seems so under-utilised and I know from anecdotal experience that tourists love viewing our lovely city from a ferry.

As I understand it Brisbane is losing out because the newer super-cruise ships do not fit under the Gateway bridges, having to berth at unsightly industrial docks and their tourist visitors enduring a long coach journey into town.

Why can’t the Brisbane City Council utilise CityCats for this tourism? I would much prefer to skim into town aboard a swift, sleek CityCat.

Has this been looked into? The revenue from hiring out the CityCats to cruise ship operators, the extra tourist spending in the CBD, a win-win for Brisbane.Andy Jacobs New Farm

Long route to keeping school bus service was worth the effortCR Vicki Howard’s office has confirmed that Council has agreed to keep the 393 service running to and from Teneriffe and Kelvin Grove State College, which is fantastic!!

Many of us would still like to see the bus come down into New Farm and

not just start at Teneriffe, but we are extremely happy that the kids can keep the new 393 service from Teneriffe.

What a difference it’s made to the kids’ school days!

Thanks again to the Village News for the support you’ve given our campaign. It has been 12 months of effort from me and many others, and at least 18 months of effort from Annalisa O’Toole, but finally we can say that there is a bus running for our kids.

We’d also like to thank the wider community for their support of our request for a direct service for our high school kids. Their support and encouragement was amazing.

In the future we’d love to see the bus start in New Farm so that the 50 kids there can also have a direct, one-bus solution to high school.

On Monday, 15 June, when I saw Cr Howard and State MP Grace Grace in person, (at a photo shoot to announce this permanent service) I asked Cr Howard when I could come and have a chat about getting the 393 down to New Farm, and she told me to talk to Ms Grace.

I assume that Cr Howard is inferring that without more money from the State Government, our local Council will never agree to what we want.

It seems like a case of politics being played but it’s better to know now than waste another 18 months of effort.Tracy MusgraveTeneriffe

RAY White New Farm’s success is set to expand with the opening of a new office in Spring Hill.

The new office is co-owned by 29-year-old selling principal Sam Mayes and New Farm principal Matt Lancashire.

Mr Mayes, who has been selling real estate in Spring Hill for five years while based from Ray White New Farm, says the transition from an agent to a principal has been “the biggest change in my life”.

“Spring Hill is coming alive, there is a lot happening in the suburb over the next few years, so I think we’re coming in at the right time,” Mr Mayes says.

The business has been made possible by 30 per cent market share that Mr Mayes has established in Spring Hill in recent years.

Mr Mayes says the bright and spacious Spring Hill office at 126 Leichhardt Street wouldn’t have been possible without Mr Lancashire’s vision.

The Spring Hill market is attached to many of the biggest real estate markets in Brisbane, such as the CBD, Petrie Terrace, Fortitude Valley, Bowen Hills and Kelvin Grove. This provides

ample room for the new office to expand and grow.

“My main goal is to continue to build my market share in Spring Hill, but more importantly I’d love to build a big team, great culture and create a platform for agents to excel in their careers.” Mr Mayes says.

Mr Mayes says it is an exciting time for real estate in the area, with an influx of development and the release of the draft Spring Hill Neighbourhood Plan.

“It’s a challenge but a very exciting journey ahead.”

Fitting farewell for a friend to manyBy Lindsay Nutley

AS winter sets in and the trees of New Farm Park lose their flowers, another piece of colour has left our world. Del Margaret Pugh, or simply Del, recently passed away at her home in Moray St.

Del (one l, as she would have said in her matter-of-fact way) not only loved the colour and movement of New Farm, but had become a wonderful part of it.

Although having lived her earlier adult life in Kelvin Grove with her husband and family, Del moved to New Farm after her husband’s sudden death in 1992 and discovered a place to call home.

She wasn’t really eccentric, a term that has become somewhat passé to describe anyone who is a little left of centre, but Del was a woman brimming with passion.

She had no place for intolerance and although a fervent supporter of conservative politics was a bastion of progressive thinking for those who could be discriminated against , for those who needed a voice or for anyone who just needed a helping hand.

She was also a great supporter of local business and would frequent coffee shops, hardware stores and the post office – believing local was

family – and without it we lose a sense of ourselves.

She and husband David established a business known as QLM Label Makers in 1975 from the basement of their family home.

The business has since grown to employ more than 380 people in four countries and Del remained actively involved on the board of the company. Since retiring in 2002 Del had swapped her label boots to pursue her passion for alternative health therapies.

If you had met Del then chances are you had probably been given a business card for either or both businesses. For she was no wilting flower. From a young age Del had pursued a life of adventure – leaving her home town of 200 at 18 to experience the wonders of Europe with another female friend.

She continued to travel extensively – revisiting Europe more than 50 years later to climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa. She could be found having a chat to locals in the Boboli Gardens of Florence or a beer with a farmer in Vietnam. Yet for all her travels she loved to come home to New Farm.

It was here in New Farm that she felt truly at home and it is fitting that her final days were spent peacefully at home. As she was wheeled along the River Boardwalk she lamented

that she hadn’t done enough for people and wondered if she would be missed.

Her funeral was held at the Holy Trinity Church in Fortitude Valley and more than 250 people attended to share their stories and remember this woman who had bought some colour to their world. Vale Del Pugh.

THE cultural landscape of New Farm will usher in a new chapter of Queensland cinema with the launch of the Queensland Film Festival (QFF) in July at New Farm Six Cinemas.

Co-founder of the QFF and local resident, Dr Huw Walmsley-Evans says the festival will showcase films with “artistic and cultural value”.

“At the moment people in Brisbane and Queensland are missing out on seeing many of the most artistically interesting and important films from around the world,” Dr Walmsley-Evans says.

“QFF will be a place where you can not only see them on the big screen, but also think and talk about them with passionate film lovers.”

Brisbane has a long and significant history of international film festivals with 2016 marking the 50th anniversary of the first Brisbane Film Festival.

That festival was later renamed the Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF) but ended in 2013, with the Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival (BAPFF) launched in its wake.

The founders of the Queensland Film Festival say that although

Brisbane is lucky to have the BAPFF, the QFF will have more scope.

“There is still a sense that the end of BIFF left a big gap that BAPFF alone could not fill. Like BIFF before it, QFF is a truly international film festival whose only remit is to show the world’s best films,” Dr Walmsley-Evans says.

The founders of the festival chose New Farm Six Cinemas because of the cinema’s proud history.

A cinema has stood at the corner of Brunswick and Barker Streets since the silent film era and hosted the first four Brisbane Film Festivals from 1966-1969.

“With the venue being fully refurbished and reopened as New Farm Cinemas last year, this was the dream place to hold Queensland Film Festival. Being at New Farm Cinemas allows us to acknowledge the history of local film culture, while bringing it in to the 21st century,” he says.

The Creative Industries Faculty of QUT, Foxtel Movies, the School of Communication and Arts at the University of Queensland and Screen Queensland will sponsor the Festival.

Dr Walmsley-Evans says the Queensland Film Festival is for anyone wanting to “go deeper into cinema”.

“If you’re a film lover, and want to see different, challenging, stimulating films, QFF is for you. If you love fine arts and want to see cinema’s latest contribution to the arts, then QFF is for you too,” he said.

QFF’s debut line-up includes Philippe Garrel’s Jealousy, Peter Strickland’s The Duke of Burgundy, and Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson’s The Forbidden Room.

QFF is also supporting local filmmakers by showcasing outstanding local productions.

“One of the films we have announced is a Brisbane-made feature called Eight by local filmmaker, Peter Blackburn. There

will be more room in the program for emerging local talent in future years,” Dr Walmsley-Evans said.

David Stratton, one of Australia’s best-known film critics, will be festival patron, with other well-known critics having already been announced as guests.

In future years QFF plans to live up to its name and will tour a selection of films to major regional centres.

Further details, ticket sales and the full program line-up of the 2015 Queensland Film Festival, being held from 24-26 July, will be announced closer to the event at http://qldff.com

LOCAL boxer Miles Zalewski made the headlines this year when he won the lightweight Australian boxing title in a second round knockout.

Zalewiski’s Manager, Craig McKim, says the recent win has helped make a big name for the young boxer.

“Unfortunately, now my job becomes a hell of a lot harder trying to get [Miles] fights because no one wants to fight him,” he said.

Zalewski, 25, began his amateur boxing career a decade ago after being a very active young person.

“It’s almost been about 10 years, I had my first amateur fight at 16. But I’ve had a whole sporting background that eventually led to boxing,” Zalewski says.

The young athlete trains out of the BoxR gym in Tenerife where he works as a personal trainer and trains young and disadvantaged Brisbane kids.

Zalewski became a professional boxer 12 months ago.

“The attitude was, I don’t care if I win, lose or draw, and I want to fight the best.”

In that time Zalewski has had five fights, taken out the Australian

Championship and won three fights by knockout.

This followed a very successful amateur career, with Zalewski taking out a few State lightweight championships with a total record of 80 fights with only 10 losses.

When Zalewski wins six fights as a professional boxer, he can have a jab at a regional title that earns him a world ranking and challenge different opponents.

“So all those guys who have been hiding can no longer hide,” McKim says.

Zalewski and McKim are looking to take a fight to Asia next year to provide international exposure.

‘We’re thinking way past Australia next year [to] Japan where there are some very good light-weight fighters,” McKim said.

MICHAEL ‘Mick’ Hedgell has just celebrated a decade selling The Big Issue magazine in Merthyr Village.

Mick has been a vendor for The Big Issue for 14 years, with a few years spent in Sydney and the past 10 in New Farm.

“I was homeless in Sydney, and I saw an ad for The Big Issue at the Centrelink office. I moved up to Brisbane about 11 years ago,” Michael says.

Since then, he’s become known to locals as a permanent fixture at the Merthyr Road entrance to Merthyr Village.

“A lot of people know my name but I don’t know theirs,” Mick says.

Mick starts his day with a coffee from Vue Café and picks up The Big Issue magazines from Mary Ryan’s next door to distribute.

“I like the people and the community down here. Everyone knows everyone, it’s a very friendly area,” he says.

Although he is Geelong born and raised, Mick identifies himself as an ‘Honorary Queenslander’, proudly following the Maroons come State of Origin time.

His choice of AFL team remains close to his heart, though.

“I’m a (Geelong) Cat’s fan,” he

says. Mick can’t work full time due to his severe anxiety, so he relies on the money he makes from selling the magazine to support himself.

“I wouldn’t be able to live the way that I do without The Big Issue, it’s help me live a bit better, rather than being on the unemployment benefits and trying to scrape through”.

Three dollars from every magazine bought from Mick helps support him and his mother to live in Brisbane.

The Big Issue magazine is sold by homeless, long term unemployed and marginalized people all across the world.

A PILOT and mechanic had narrow escapes one Sunday afternoon in January 1926, when a seaplane in which they were flying crashed into the backyard of a house near the riverbank at New Farm.

A thick wire helped stop the aircraft and prevented the McClelland residence at 154 Oxlade Drive (then River Road) from being demolished. The aircraft came to rest on the fence of the property.

William McClelland, who had been shaving, had been alarmed to see the plane swoop out of the sky and drop onto his lawn. When he hurried out of the house, he found the two aviators, pilot H.M. Bason and mechanic Harry Brittain, practically unhurt, looking at the wreckage.

It transpired that when the ‘hydro-aeroplane’ was almost opposite the Mowbray Park Baths, it rose to about 80 feet (24.4 metres) then turned towards the New Farm bank. The

aircraft apparently encountered an air pocket which caused it to stall. As a newspaper report at the time explained, “There was no way in which the pilot could extricate himself from danger, and a violent landing was inevitable.”

The aircraft, likely to have been a US-built Curtiss MF Seagull, was owned by Eric Videan, a pioneer of commercial aviation in Queensland and an owner of the Ascot Garage on Racecourse Road.

Present-day Kirribilli Apartments mark the site where the McClelland

home once stood. Also living at the house at the time of the crash were William’s wife Gertrude and the couple’s baby daughter Joan. Mother

and baby, along with the family dog, were later photographed in front of the aircraft and the wrecked fence.

Joan Patch, now aged 90, says of the photo which shows her as an infant, “Perhaps it was a sign of my future?” She was alluding to the fact that she went on to marry Stan Patch, a World War II pilot who later flew for Australian National Airlines and Swissair.

The incident was reported in newspapers all over Australia, and would have been of particular interest to the McClellands’ next door neighbour, noted photographer F.W. Thiel. His 1919 views of Brisbane were the first photographs ever taken of the city from an aeroplane.

Only weeks before, on 30

November 1925, a seaplane, of unspecified name or make, had made a forced landing in the waters off Southport because of engine trouble. The uninjured pilot (Captain Snell) and the mechanic (again Harry Brittain) were buffeted by high winds and rough water for two hours before being rescued.

The newspaper reported that the aeroplane had to be towed to Brisbane for repairs. Considering how few aircraft there were in Brisbane in the 1920s, it is highly likely that it was the same aircraft in both incidents. It may be conjectured that New Farm crash came about when the aeroplane was being tested after the earlier incident.

THE countdown is on to this month’s New Farm State School Fete on Sunday 26 July when the school will be bursting at the seams with more stalls and entertainment than ever.

P&C President Fiona Murcott said this year’s fete would be as well-organised as ever and be a highlight of the New Farm-Fortitude Valley-Newstead-Teneriffe social calendar.

“We will cater to all ages and tastes with lots of great stalls, a revamped entertainment program, and fabulous live and silent auctions,” she said.

“Lot items will include holidays, a David Hinchliffe painting and other stunning artworks, cutting-edge homewares, signed sporting memorabilia, restaurant and health and beauty vouchers, gift hampers and gym memberships, just to name a few.”

Fiona said fete raffle tickets would go on sale across the peninsula on the weekends of 11-12 and 18-19 July at Merthyr Village, Standard Market Company’s James Street and Gasworks stores, as well as the New Farm Soccer Club.

“If the community gets behind our raffle, not only could they win a week-long family trip to Queenstown (valued at more than $5000), ‘Javier’s Table’ dinner and matching wines for six at Moda Restaurant (valued at more than $1000) or an iPad Air 2, they would also be helping to futureproof our 114-year-old school,” she said.

>>From Page 3 MEMBER for Brisbane Teresa Gambaro has labelled Vodafone’s community consultation process about the controversial phone tower proposal above 92-96 Merthyr Road as “fundamentally flawed and an absolute failure.”

Ms Gambaro has backed community concerns about the level of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the proposed tower, particularly given its proximity to the Holy Spirit School.

She has written to Vodafone asking the company to reopen the consultation process.

“I am extremely disappointed in the lack of respect Vodafone has shown for the views of my constituents,” Ms Gambaro said.

She said she was concerned about a statement reportedly made by a Vodafone employee at a public meeting on 15 June that “we (Vodafone) are not concerned with the morality of the issue, only the legality of the process.”

“This provides me with absolutely no assurance whatsoever that Vodafone’s community consultation process has been undertaken in good faith or that my community’s concerns have been taken seriously

at all,” Ms Gambaro said.

She said the Queensland Government Department of Education and Training policy required separation distances of at least 200 metres between a tower and a school or TAFE campus boundary.

Ms Gambaro said the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) had advised her the Queensland Government policy was not “science based”.

She said community concerns about electromagnetic radiation emissions were the reason why the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) required that towers complied with an industry code of practice.

“This requires telecommunications carriers to inform and consult with the local community when planning, installing or upgrading base stations,” Ms Gambaro said.

Ms Gambaro said Vodafone should “not only re-commence the ACMA prescribed community consultation process, but reconsider the issue of identifying alternative sites to the 92-96 Merthyr Road site.”

I WAS 10 years old before I saw television. It was at Kerry Dangerfield’s house in the summer of 1964. I remember being ushered into the Dangerfield’s sitting room, a sepulchral and disheartening space filled with side tables, china cabinets, an oversized sofa and two armchairs upholstered in depressing brown velveteen.

Antimacassars were placed strategically on the backs of chairs to protect the fabric from the brylcreemed head of Mr Dangerfield and crochet doilies proliferated on every surface, all the work of the industrious Mrs Dangerfield.

The gathered party was a small one. Mr and Mrs Dangerfield, Kerry and myself. Kerry, an only child, wasn’t encouraged to enjoy a large acquaintance due to her delicate health. Just what her health issues

were was never made clear, but it was implied that large groups exacerbated the condition, whatever it may have been.

Kerry told me the only reason her parents encouraged our friendship was because I possessed pretty manners. A rather fallacious observation I thought then, and still do decades later.

I took up position next to Kerry on the floor in front of the television, a plate of her mother’s jam drops between us. Mrs Dangerfield’s jam drops were famous, not for their deliciousness I hasten to add, but rather for their gluelike viscousness.

I usually avoided them at all cost, but when pressed to partake I would dutifully pop one in my pocket and say with bold mendacity, “I’ll save it for later.” My first encounter with Mrs Dangerfield’s jam drops had been less than auspicious and left me feeling rather resentful. A wobbly front tooth had become imbedded in the biscuit’s amazingly adhesive dough, pulling it clinically and painlessly from my jaw.

It wasn’t so much the loss of the tooth that I grieved for, but rather, the loss of opportunity for the tooth

Reading sticks like a Dangerfield jam drop

fairy to leave me two shillings. I had inadvertently swallowed the tooth along with the piece of glutinous hardtack.

Kerry smiled, “We going to watch Tom and Jerry cartoons if Daddy can get a good reception.” I nod uncertainly, not sure what a reception had to do with viewing a cartoon. The only reception I was familiar with was my cousin Leoni’s wedding reception. And the only vaguely amusing thing that happen there was Pop rudely interjecting during the Mayor’s long and very boring speech.

“For God’s sake let’s get this bloody show on the road!” Pop had said with awful and annihilating emphasis. The mayor had turned beet red, but not as red as my Aunt Lydia. “With her red hair it’s difficult to tell where skin ends and hair begins,” I heard my Aunt Julia whisper to my mother.

Mr Dangerfield turns on the television and the room is filled with the sound of a thousand snakes hissing. “That’s static,” I’m informed by the more sophisticated Kerry. We all peer into a small screen filled with what looks like snow. Mr Dangerfield fusses with knobs and anxiously fiddles with the aerial, pulling it this way and that.

After what seems an age, it was probably only a few minutes, Mrs Dangerfield says worriedly, “It doesn’t look promising Dear.” Mr Dangerfield continues manoeuvring the aerial, placing it on the floor then on a china cabinet, still no picture appears. I can tell he’s getting more and more frustrated.

“Bloody useless thing! I don’t know why I let you talk me into buying a television. There won’t be a decent reception in Roma for years to come!” “Dear, the children,” admonishes Mrs Dangerfield gently.

I glance sideways at Kerry, she is smiling. I do believe she is enjoying her parent’s discomfiture. Suddenly there is sound, Daffy Duck’s excruciating voice cuts through the static and a picture materializes out of the raging blizzard. And for a few moments the four of us watch transfixed as Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck inexplicably fight it out in a boxing ring.

Unfortunately it wasn’t to last, Elmer and Daffy are again lost to violent and noisy static. Mrs Dangerfield says in resigned accents, “Okay children off you go, downstairs. Take the jam drops with you and I’ll bring down some cordial in a minute.”

Outside, Kerry and I sit in the pepperina tree. “So, what you think of TV?” asks Kerry as she throws a jam drop over the fence to old man Bakers dog. The dog catches the biscuit with greedy precision. I hesitate in answering. I don’t want to appear rude or ungrateful by speaking the truth. “It was okay,”

I demure. And then add truthfully, “I’d much rather read a book.”

“What you reading?” asks Kerry with genuine interest. But before I can answer she points to old man Bakers dog. “What’s wrong with him do you suppose?” The dog is running around in obvious distress, pawing at its mouth and shaking its head violently as if trying to dislodge something.

“I reckon it might be your Mum’s jam drop. Its’ glued his jaws together!” We both shimmy down the tree faster than you can say knife and take refuge behind the big old bougainvillea vine at the side of Kerry’s house. Old man Baker set great store by his dog and woe betide anyone found doing it a disservice.

“I’m reading The Famous Five go Caravanning by Enid Blyton.” I say, continuing our conversation from where it had been interrupted. “I love Enid Blyton!” says Kerry enthusiastically. “And you right. Books are much better than boring old TV.”

The afternoon passes in pleasant discussion of books read and plans of what to read next, until it’s time for me to head home. Mrs Dangerfield gives me a brown paper bag filled with her jam drops. “Make sure you share these with your sisters.” I smile and thank her.

The last time I had given my sisters Mrs Dangerfield’s jam drops they had fed them all to Mary Murphy. Mary, always susceptible to gluttony, arrived home in tears, unable to open her jaw, so fast was it held with jam drops her panicked mother thought she had lockjaw and rushed her up to the hospital.

My mother made my sisters apologise to Mary and her mother but privately made the observation that Mary Murphy didn’t possess a lick of sense and neither did her mother. “Everyone knows to steer clear of Portia Dangerfield’s jam drops.”

“I hope you weren’t too disappointed about the television not working dear,” says Mrs Dangerfield as she and Kerry see me off. “Not at all Mrs Dangerfield. It was great. Thank you. See you later Kerry.”

And as I made my way down Browns Lane I ponder the wonder of television. It’s not so special I think. Rather underwhelming actually. I cheer myself with thoughts of Enid Blyton waiting for me at home. Yes I reckon books are better than boring old TV.

A belief I have not changed in 50 years. I still don’t own a television but I do own books, a veritable library of books. My Grandfather Jones always said, “Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.” How right he [email protected]

A BLEND of old polyesters, cottons and wools will be in fashion on Friday, 24 July, for Brisbane Youth Service’s annual ‘daggy jumper day’.

Annemaree Callander, CEO of Brisbane Youth Service, says donations from the day help support the group end experiences of youth homelessness.

“One of the things that young people desperately need is assistance to set up a house for the first time. They don’t come with a glory box full of nice sheets and towels and pots and pans,” she says.

“Costs that we incur to help set young people up into housing are quite significant and we rely on donations and fundraising to support that work.”

Individuals, schools, companies and families are all encouraged to get registered or be sponsored to

wear their ‘daggiest’ jumper for the day to raise awareness of youth homelessness.

The event is the Fortitude Valley based Service’s biggest fundraiser for the year and allows the group to raise funds so it can assist homeless young people access crisis housing.

Young people at present have great difficulty securing long-term housing, with a third of the homeless population under the age of 25.

“We think it’s our responsibility to raise awareness that homelessness isn’t just a problem that affects older people and that in fact, there’s a lot of young people and young families that are experiencing that,” Ms Callander said.

Registration, information and updates are available on the website for daggy jumper day at www.daggy.com.au.

Jazmyn, Shannon, Lance, Kaytlin, Kirstin, Gabrielle, Rosie and Ben are wearing their best ‘daggy’ jumpers for the launch of ‘daggy jumper day’.

FORTITUDE Valley is sizzling along, by day and by night! The Valley just needs more occupiers of the ever-growing space for its mushrooming economy. Since Robin Maini became President of the Valley Chamber of Commerce (VCC) in January 2013,

he has overseen a remarkable rise in membership of business owners, and of attendees to their monthly meetings. The Valley has resuscitated and is being recognised as a commercial and residential hub that beautifully complements the CBD area.

Robin is a dynamic business community leader who fits the bill perfectly for further developing confidence in the once-dying precinct, although ask anyone since the near-death pronouncement in the late 1960s … “Oh, it will be just a matter of time before The Valley makes its comeback.”

But now the horse has bolted, so hang on for the ride of your life, Brisbane.

As a Canadian-Australian, Robin details the cultural differences between the two countries, but first I asked him how he helps build confidence in Valley business people and residents.

When asked: How do you encourage Brisbane people to come back to The Valley? Robin went into pleasant and convincing overdrive, reminding of an earlier era under Premier Joh: “Come to The Valley, day and night! Look at the cranes! Residential buildings all over, from Newstead to the Valley, from the Valley to Spring Hill. But it’s more than that – business here is rising, and staff are increasingly well-trained and caring to customers.

“Old laneways are being converted to retail precincts – look at Bakery Lane: cafes, florists, a bar, retail shops … we have laneways, skyscrapers, commercial and retail space that’s been built, is being built, just waiting for occupiers. Get in early. A number of large corporations are moving here. The Bank of Queensland head offices have moved from Queen Street to the Gasworks precinct.

“We are aiming for a more robust operator. We need daytime retailers, offices, businesses; the daytime’s economy needs more drive and boost, and we are getting it.”

I look at Robin. He is no ordinary businessman. He presents well, is obviously well educated, and speaks with confidence and authority, and his office space with the boardroom table doubles as the VCC meeting place and his own business, Elite Point 3.

What is Elite Point 3? “Every business is about the people,” Robin said. “We specialise in Customer Service and Leadership Training and Development. We deal with many types of companies, media, hospitality, health care, professional services such as law and accounting firms; then there’s manufacturing and retail, and we have a specific program for each. In hospitality, we help them to improve their customer service delivery. As you are aware, some places in Australia have an inconsistent level of service. We can revamp and redevelop the people of these companies. We create high-performance teams so they can deliver high-impact results.

“I apply similar plans to the VCC. I am in the customer service business, so because of my experience I concentrate on services and benefits to members – which is why we have grown so much in that two and a half years.

“From that time, the number of active members has risen from 130 to now 450 and the average of members at monthly functions from 60 to over 200, which means massive opportunities for networking.

“We are increasing new members by a minimum of 10 new companies per month. And where for 12 preceding years we were in the red or borderline red, now we are well in the black, so that instead of having

our hand out, asking for assistance from the business community we are now assisting other such not-for-profit community causes in helping them fund-raise.

“We have a fulltime admin manager, Terri Smallbon, who works Monday to Friday full time delivering exceptional customer service to our members. We oversee the Valley Liquor accord and are currently battling the Labor government’s bid to implement a curfew to the licensees. We also oversee the Safety Committee.”

Robin has a partner, Lisa Moricz, who is his personal and business partner. They live “just 600 metres towards the city” on the Petrie Bight-Valley border. Born and educated in Toronto, Canada, with a degree in Economics and Marketing, Robin has made Brisbane his home for a decade now, and a Canadian accent is not over-evident. So Robin has not only made his home and work in this part of town, he sees it all as a challenge, one he relishes with confidence.

The VCC encompasses almost the same area as the Village News does – though excluding Kangaroo Point, but including the Valley, Teneriffe, Newstead, New Farm, Spring Hill, Bowen Hills and Petrie Bight. The Teneriffe and Spring Hill CCs come under the umbrella of Robin’s Valley domain – but part of the whole CBD.

How long do you hope to remain President? “We have 10 business people on the Board here, and I will be guided by them. However all indications show they would like me around for a while longer to maintain the fantastic momentum we have in constantly adding value to the VCC members. Plus I really like what I am doing and accomplishing.”

How did you find the cultural differences in Australia? “I often get teased, although I have been in Australia coming on 11 years. I still

In fact my friends stopped inviting me to games because apparently I talk too much and loudly during the play. I am not quite sure why you need to ‘hear’ someone running down a field while dragging men around your ankles trying to cross a line with an odd shaped ball in your hand.

springtime there and it was minus 17 degrees Celsius! Yes, minus 17. My partner is Australian; she couldn’t comprehend that your skin can freeze in less than two minutes if you don’t cover up in that kind of cold air. Autumn and spring in Brisbane has to be the best place on earth. You can still do everything you want to do outdoors or in, and not miss a thing. Good weather keeps people in good moods, which in my eyes translates to good commerce. People enjoy life and spend more when they are in a good mood, which helps keep the economy flowing.”

Why come to Australia? “Prior to being relocated to Australia by a large national Australian company, I sold my Canadian company in 1998 and spent the next six years consulting for companies in both Canada and the US. This gained me a reputation for going in and strengthening companies and turning them around. That’s what our company does today, however more on a level of people development and growth strategy versus structural.

“I love living in the city and working in the Valley and knowing so many people, although I am admittedly the worst person to remember names.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t run into someone on the Riverwalk, I love the Riverwalk between New Farm and Eagle Street Pier, or Gasworks on a weekend or strolling through Teneriffe and the James Street area.”

“THERE is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact”, said Sherlock Holmes to Watson, delivering in one sentence, a simple, yet timelessly pertinent observation of the philosophical concept of ‘fact’.

A friend told me recently she had bumped into an old neighbour, Karen, who had lived two doors down. She was elated and said she had apologised to Karen for past negative and mean behaviour towards her years ago. I asked what she had done that was mean.

She said when she had first moved into the street, she had allowed the couple living in the house next door, between her and Karen, to recruit her into their own thoughts and opinions that Karen was a bad person. My friend said she was disappointed that she let the couple drown out her own inner voice and change the way she behaved towards Karen.

In our personal lives and in the wider,

public sphere, we have an obligation I believe, to seek to distinguish objective, measurable fact from subjective, personal opinion, assumptions or interpretations and find the balance between someone’s freedom of speech and a person’s right to protect their good name.

There are obvious similarities to schoolyard bullying in that there’s an intention to hurt someone’s reputation, often repeatedly in an unprovoked situation by the social group using an imbalance of power. The origins of which link back to the animal kingdom and the social hierarchy of leaders and followers amongst group living primates.

I asked my friend what triggered the moment when she realised she needed to clean things up with Karen. She said she was honest with herself about her own need to be validated and part of the couple’s group. She then imagined experiencing the world from Karen’s perspective, with compassion rather than judgement, trying to understand her emotions.

There will always be people in the world who are motivated to persuade us to succumb to their opinion, especially if it benefits them in some way.

Plato is attributed to saying, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle” and often, what annoys us most about those we dislike, is what we like least in ourselves.

Five ‘must-do’s’ at Teneriffe’s most exciting day for people of all ages

1 Festival rocks the river on Mirvac River Stage

MUSIC and entertainment will quite literally take to the water with the return of the Mirvac River Stage at this year’s Teneriffe Festival from 10am to 9pm on 4 July.

“It’s the ideal platform for our great line-up of bands,” enthused festival chairman Richard Bodley. “We successfully launched the concept last year, but this year we were able to keep it afloat with the massive assistance of Mirvac.”

Once again the Mirvac River Stage will be provide visitors the perfect way to listen to seven different bands from the ideal vantage point of Sir Manuel Hornibrook Park.

“The floating River Stage was an absolute draw card at last year’s festival and we’re grateful that Mirvac wanted to support the installation for a second year,” said Mr Bodley.

The highlight act on the River Stage is Cheap Fakes, a much-loved six-piece band which has been successful in South East Queensland’s live music scene. The band will be unleashing its pop-infused, brass fuelled funk and ska sounds to festival-goers.

Brisbane Cheese MarketTHE Brisbane Cheese Market is debuting this year. Established a decade ago, festival organisers are excited to welcome the markets to a new home. Foodies will delight with the treats from artisanal cheesemakers such as Witches Chase Cheese Company, Heidi Farm, Kingaroy Cheese and Meredith Dairy. Halloumi and raclette style of cheeses will also feature, with demonstrations and tastings sure to tempt the senses.

There will also be cheese boxes for sale, condiments, olives, grilled halloumi, croquettes and master classes to attend throughout the day.

EACH year the London Laneway proves to be the hidden gem of the festival and this year will be no different with the fourth edition of the annual Pork, Fork & Cork Festival.

This year’s version will be bigger, brighter and better than ever as festival mainstays Alfred & Constance, Alfredo’s Pizzeria, Chester Street Bakery, Kwan Brothers and Limes Hotel are joined by the Doughnut Time caravan and Little Wick Winery.

Little Wick Winery is Queensland’s first urban winery, nestled in the heart of Fortitude Valley and encased by the towering brick walls of iconic Brisbane history. The debut of Little Wick’s finest drops at the festival will mark the company’s entrance into the big smoke.

London Laneway will transform into a festive playground with a stellar line-up of food and tasty beverages served from 10am. Alfred & Constance, Alfredo’s Pizzeria & Kwan Brothers will cater to the savoury desires, while those with a penchant for the sweet stuff can indulge at the Doughnut Time Caravan. To help wash it all down, Chester Street will take the reins at a fun-for-all-ages milkshake stand.

With Limes Rooftop and the White Lightening Tiki Bar providing their specialty cocktails and beverages, guests can also get their feet dirty in the Little Wick pop-up wine stomp.

4THE popular steeple-chasing piggies are a huge hit with fans, who watch up to four cute ‘Babe’ look-a-likes slog it out in each round. Racing piglets streak around a 45 metre track at approximately 30 km/h, jumping fences and lighting up the faces of hundreds of children.

With their curly-tailed stars leaping over two-foot-tall hurdles in the races, organisers say the pigs are enticed by the thrill of the competition - and the tasty snack they’re rewarded with at the end.

The five races are part of the Kids World activities, but several local corporates keen to bring home the bacon sponsor and bet on a chosen piglet and raise an enormous amount of money for the local not-for-profit charity Footprints.

The streakiest bacon you’ll ever see

Magical Mystery History TourHISTORY never repeats itself but each year the Magical Mystery History tour delights the crowd with an amusing and informative bus tour through the historical landmarks of Teneriffe.

Learn from the experts at the New Farm and Districts Historical Society about the architecture, early industry and businesses and fascinating facts about some of the local residences and wool stores. Each year the tour is an absolute crowd pleaser so visitors are advised to buy their tickets early in the day.

Several historical displays will be scattered throughout Dath Street this year and the roving military band will also provide character and a reminder of the suburb’s rich historical prominence

TENERIFFE Festival will be very fruitful this year with All About Fruit, a New Farm based business, serving delicious strawberries and freshly-squeezed orange juice at a stall near the main stage.

The Queensland-grown strawberries will be sold by themselves or with yoghurt for the health conscious.

If patrons of the festival are feeling particularly naughty they can be purchased and eaten with cream or on a stick and dipped in chocolate.

It will be the first year that All About Fruit, a 13-year-old family owned and operated business, will have a stall at the festival.

Fruitful experience for festival goers

Anise Wine Room turns 15 THIS New Farm favourite was originally home to a bike shop, and in 2000 was transformed into Anise by Brisbane foodie Tony Harper. Owner/operator Thames Delaforce took over three years ago and whilst having maintained the original theme, some elements have changed. An exposed brick wall now features a bit of local history which not only heralds a piece of New Farm in its yesteryear, but also adds to ambience that is Anise today. Located on Brunswick Street, Anise offers over 80 hand selected wines, and a menu dedicated to fresh produce. To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Anise will host an exclusive degustation event on Wednesday, 22 July, featuring a winter truffle inspired seven course menu alongside vintage Krug champagne and wines for $200pp. anise.com.au

New direction for e’cco TAKING over the reins from head chef Samuel Brading, Simon Palmer is the promising new up-and-coming star of the e’cco bistro kitchen. Owners Philip Johnson and Mary Randles are delighted to have Simon at the helm with an extraordinary background working with the likes of Tim Montgomery of Newcastle’s Bacchus restaurant, Alejandro Cancino at Urbane and most recently Ben Williamson of Gerard’s Bistro. Simon will be leading the kitchen into a new era, providing what Philip describes as a fresh and thrilling experience for diners. “Simon’s menu is clever, modern and honest. You read it and want to eat it - it’s contemporary and very now food.” eccobistro.com.au

What the Fork THE newest addition to Teneriffe’s food strip, What the Fork - commonly known as WTF, is on a mission to become the new favourite for locals to dine and meet for a drink any night of the week. Located in the wool store precinct and close to everything Teneriffe, WTF makes it easy offering residents with a 4005 or 4006 postcode a discount of 15% on all meals or drinks. And it won’t take long for this notion to take off with the WTF team offering seriously great service and the chef serving up beautifully presented warm, hearty, and generous comfort food. With all the right beers, a nice wine list and feel-good food to eat and share, you might be inclined to book a table at this perfect vantage point for the Teneriffe Festival. whattheforkbrisbane.com.au

Woolly Mammoth AlehouseYOU get a duo of menus at Fortitude Valley’s Woolly Mammoth Alehouse - one for the recently launched winter menu with an abundance of tasty dishes and the other dedicated just to craft beers. The food is so scrumptious you’ll want to try everything, which is what we did when we had lunch there on a lazy Saturday.

Your choice of gourmet burgers including includes a pulled pork hoagie with pineapple salsa and coleslaw. The pizza menu is a little different so we tried the Pig & Fig which was topped with a generous smattering of pancetta, figs and mozzarella. Their signatuire is bound to become the ribs – especially the 16 hour Braised Beef Short Ribs. These are melt in your mouth meats and will leave you gasping for more room in your jeans. Try the Bacon Fries with blue cheese aioli - incredible! woollymammoth.com.au

IT was a treasured grandmother who first inspired Teneriffe’s Anna Phillips and her love of baking, but what she didn’t know was that her granddaughter would make a success out of infusing her cupcakes with liqueur.

“Granny taught me to cook when I was really young and since then I’ve always loved cooking,” Anna said. “It wasn’t until Mum suggested I try mixing my own flavours and making cakes from my own recipes that I knew I had something people would really like.”

Anna is the clever brains behind Fiori Bakehouse and the cupcakes cleverly laced with alcohol that you might have noticed popping up across the city at local markets or functions.

The idea came to her once she had mastered the art of cake-making in high school and decided that pretty cupcakes were best reserved for eight-year-old girls and birthday parties.

“I began selling my cakes to friends at school and pretty soon the orders were flowing in,” she said. “I realised that if I could work

on the idea of making cupcakes attractive to adults, then I would have a whole new market.”

What Anna did next was to turn the notion of the popular childlike treat into something that also appealed to grown-ups. Enter the alcohol-infused cupcake by Fiori Bakehouse!

Anna combined her love of baking and all things flavoursome into a unique concoction of cake and liqueur flavours that she liked and found mixed perfectly together.

“I am inspired by the people I have met in the food industry so far and the support and ideas that I’ve received from people that have been overwhelming,” Anna said. “I’ve been very fortunate that my parents taught me to believe in myself and to always try something out.”

Anna’s entrepreneurialism began as an early teen, designing clothes under the label Anna Tutu and selling her label to several local boutiques.

Owning her own clothing label gave Anna the impetus to run her new business. She now supplies private orders for functions and events and has been showcasing

Treats with extra punch really take the cake at Bakehouse By Alisa Cork • [email protected]

her woozy treats at local foodie gatherings such as the quarterly Small Batch at the Wandering Cooks facility at Southbank.

Now invited to join the hall of famous food stalls at Eat Street Markets at Hamilton, Anna believes her business is right on track and she is already strategising her next move.

“The next step for me would be to open a small cupcake shop, something simple to start off with. I would love to eventually take the alcohol cupcakes to a bigger market place such as a restaurant and dessert bar,” she said.

At only 19, Anna has already made it as a talented clothing designer-cum-businesswoman, entrepreneur and now respected pastry cook. So what’s next is simply to wonder which direction she will take this incredible success on the next phase of her food journey.

“One day I would love to have my own restaurant or cafe in Teneriffe – I can’t see myself opening anywhere else.”

Anna will take Fiori Bakehouse to Eat Street Markets every weekend from July and is also looking forward

to the Finders Keepers Markets at the old Museum on 4 and 5 July.Anna’s clever and tempting work can be found on her Facebook page – Fiori Bakehouse or to enquire about her special adults only cupcakes, email her at [email protected]

Historical bar redfinedTHE newest place to bunker down on any night of the week until 2am is the Farrier Bar and Supper Club which has just been launched by Chris and Mary-Lou Condon in New Farm. This almost secretive space has taken up residence beneath the Queens Arms Hotel and the location is only identifiable by its signature blacksmith emblem. In an intimate space which was once used as a drinking hole by farriers and stablehands, these 19th Century horse stables make the perfect spot to enjoy some live music and comfort food. The best part is the sophisticated wine and beverage list. Farriers is just the place for a glass of shiraz or a top shelf spirit after a hard week at work - or anytime from noon for that matter. One thing for certs is that when everything else is closed, Farrier Bar will be open. farrier.bar

Chur burger AT the base of Tryp Hotel on Constance Street is a burger joint that knows just the right formula opting for a range of burgers that are deliciously hearty and originally hailing from Surrey Hills in Sydney. Warren Turnbull’s original Chur Burger Bar was charred by fire but they rebuilt a bigger better version and moved a copy to Brisbane. Lucky for us, this hip place has the best of simple ingredients piled into made to order burgers and served alongside a well-thought out drink menu. Packed to the rafters on Fridays for lunch and dinner, there’s every reason to try one if you haven’t already. The best thing about these burgers is you can double the meat if you’re that way inclined. Try a Hillbilly cider if you’re seeking something freshly hand crafted without any added sugar or artificial flavours. churburger.com.au

THE Sydney-based chamber ensemble Australia Piano Quartet’s only Brisbane performance of the year will be at the FireWorks Gallery in Newstead on 1 August as part of the 2015 Queensland Music Festival.

The concert A Fauré Foray will officially start the 2015 season of DeClassified Music, an organization directed by pianist and former New Farm resident Brieley Cutting with the aim of providing leading Australian artists with the opportunity to perform in Brisbane.

“I think hearing music like this is great for a large concert hall, but being close to it in FireWorks Gallery makes it much more exciting. In that sort of venue you can talk to the artists and socialize with them and

they become real. It makes the event extra special,” Ms Cutting says.

Founded in 2011 and fresh from a triumphant debut at London’s Barbican Centre, Australia Piano Quartet is now considered one of Australia’s premier international chamber music ambassadors, thanks to the excellent performances of Daniel de Borah (piano), Rebecca Chan (violin), James Wannan (viola) and Thomas Rann (cello).

“They are absolutely fantastic and the quality of their playing is extremely satisfying”, Ms Cutting says. “We had them before and they were brilliant so I made sure they could come back and that a group like that has a future in Australia”.

Commercial Road and Skyring Terrace intersection upgradeThe 2015-16 Council Budget provides the funding for the installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Commercial Road and Skyring Terrace at Teneriffe, to improve safety and efficiency for all road users. The upgrade will also improve access for high-frequency buses travelling to and from the Teneriffe ferry terminal. The project will involve installing on-road bicycle lanes, new traffic signals at the intersection and installing right hand turn pockets on Skyring Terrace and Vernon Terrace. Signalised pedestrian crossings will also be installed on Commercial Road, Skyring Terrace and Vernon Terrace to improve safety.

Alfred and Constance Street upgradesWe are very pleased to let you know that we have sourced funding so that Council can boost safety for pedestrians at the bustling Alfred and Constance Streets in intersection.This new project will go a long way in bolstering safety for people travelling through the area, as well as improving the overall look and feel of this popular entertainment hub.We have also secured funding in this budget for footpaths, kerb and channel and road resurfacing across the area at:• Edward, Elizabeth, Margaret, Wharf, Ayr,

and Saul Streets in the City• Astor Terrace, Royal Avenue, and Raff &

Rosa Streets in Spring Hill• Langshaw, James, Byram, and Sydney

Streets in New Farm• Victoria Park Road & Ballymore, Blamey,

Employment training for young peopleTogether with Lord Mayor Graham Quirk we want to deliver new skills development opportunities for our young people through apprenticeships and traineeships.

That’s why we are allocating $5.6 million this year, with a further $15.7 million over the following three years, so young people will be able to take up training opportunities in town planning, business administration, horticulture, information technology and civil construction - we’ll also be continuing the successful CoderDojo and Budding Entrepreneurs programs.

This investment is about giving Brisbane’s young people the chance to get ahead and providing them with the tools to do so.

Life in Teneriffe A Saturday morning in the Cush household consists of many similar routines; its fair to say we are creatures of habit. The sound of tiny voices stirring serve as our alarm clock (ironically earlier in winter than summer). We move slowly, most of our neighbours are either still snoring or already participating in some local bootcamp.

We start preparing to leave the house. The pram gets loaded with colouring books, ipads and kids as we move to get out the door. Walking through Teneriffe we pass those exercising neighbours sweating out their crimes, and others of them who are now wrapped around a hot coffee with breaky on the way.

When we hit our destination, my little girl Vivi bursts out of the pram and prances about like she owns the place. The owner sneaks her some treats, the other casual diners smile at her innocence and at some point during the meal Aleesha & I comment about how lucky we were to move here when we did...this is life in Teneriffe.

Teneriffe has seen many face lifts in the modern era. We saw the transformation of the Woolstores, then the re-formalising of the suburb with its boundaries; the Gasworks development and now the introduction of many new apartment complexes.

From these transitions Teneriffe has emerged as a parochial village, proud of its annual festival, its heritage, culture and location.

At times over the last few years it has seen the highest growth in capital property values and has also seen an affordable rental proposition for tenants.

Any area that offers a blend of the city’s most prestigious properties with affordable rental accommodation creates a cultural melting pot. Life in Teneriffe is relaxed, fun and safe. We offer many of the city’s finest dining experiences, a new selection of micro breweries, art galleries, hidden parks and many other unique facets.

I am proud to not only be a local resident, but be able to help so many people also move into the area and enjoy its ever evolving benefits.

TRUE luxury in an apartment development in Newstead will be launched this month with Haven, a 25-level retail and residential development featuring four levels of premium sub-penthouse and penthouse apartments.

Opposite Gasworks Plaza with its historic gasometer, the development will offer north-east facing penthouse apartments with panoramic views of the Brisbane River, Waterfront Park and the city.

The 15 three and four-bedroom penthouse and sub-penthouse apartments and eight premium two bedroom plus study apartments on floors 22-25 feature fully integrated Miele appliances, premium kitchen and bathroom finishes, powder rooms, walk-in robes and open plan designs to capture the views from every angle.

A rooftop sky deck including infinity pool, entertainment zones featuring barbecues, pizza ovens and dining areas that can be separately reserved for residents.

Development manager Marquee Projects CEO Mark Spedding said the penthouses and sub-penthouses offered buyers a unique opportunity to secure a luxury apartment for less

than $3 million. “This was the best remaining site in Newstead. Together with developer HCAP Developments, we spent more than 12 months creating a new design to enhance both the retail and residential,” Mr Spedding said.

The ground floor retail has been designed by award-winning retail architects Richard and Spence with more than 1150sqm of food and beverage, fashion and homewares retail space.

Haven is being marketed exclusively by Judy Goodger and Simon Caulfield of Place Estate Agents.

Mr Caulfield said he had already received almost 250 enquiries from interested buyers ahead of the public launch of the project on 18 July and before a sales office had been established.

“We were not expecting anywhere that number at this stage,” he said.

“We are getting a lot of interest from buyers from suburbs like Bulimba and Hawthorn in the inner-east and Hamilton and Ascot in the inner-north, and from the western suburbs.

“So the enquiries are coming from people already living in high quality

areas, and a lot of the clients are looking to downsize from big homes.”

Haven was designed by Brisbane based architects Cottee Parker and is being built by ICON Constructions. The top-of-the-range apartment interiors were designed by Patricia Szonert of MMO Interiors.

Construction is expected to be completed by March 2017.

For sales enquiries call Simon Caulfield on 0437935912.

2 1 1A LANDMARK 126-year-old building on the corner of Brunswick and Balfour Streets in New Farm will change hands next month.

The 1889 building, now home to the L.J Hooker New Farm real estate agency, will go under the auctioneer’s hammer on 16 July, after which the agency will begin moving into its new premises at 599 Brunswick St.

George Clough established L.J Hooker New Farm at the building in 1982 and bought it in 1988, when it became The Professionals. In July 2014 the business returned to the L.J Hooker organisation.

George’s son Andrew joined the business in 1985 and bought the building in 1995 when his father retired.

Andrew and his partner at L.J Hooker New Farm Brett Greensill are reluctant to leave the old building and even went as far as getting development approval for an extension at the back of the property.

“We thought about doing it, but we eventually realised that even if we did the extension it would be full straight

away because of the number of staff we have, in the end we just accepted that the business has outgrown the space,” Mr Clough said.

Mr Clough researched the history of the building at the Queensland State Library and found its first business occupant in 1889 was a butcher’s shop owned by T and J. Cock. It has since been leased by other butchers, grocers, fruiterers and general store operators.

inner city, pet friendly home. A well equipped kitchen complete with stylish splashback and

timber cabinetry adjoins the functional dining and invitingly designed living and outdoor

“Anthony sold my New Farm investment apartment recently - it’s the second property I’ve sold

with him and I didn’t hesitate to go with him again (despite having a different rental manager).

In manner, he’s supportive, friendly, relaxed and attentive - managing a balance between not

bothering me with details but keeping me well-informed. He’s been around the industry for

years now: he knows the market and he knows the intricacies of selling such as ending rental

contracts and conveyance processes. He doesn’t pester, he doesn’t give hollow promises

and he listens - this allows him to build trust quickly with sellers, rental tenants and buyers.

Well organised, available and achieves sales results - he does a great job.”
