Support the Turf Club

Horse racing is in our family’s blood. We can trace the Henderson family’s links to racing back more than 80 years when three Henderson brothers (including our grandfather) teamed up to win all eight races at the Jandowae Memorial Hall Amateur Grassfed Race Club’s meeting in November 1935. read more

Surf Life Saving Club Fundraising Week

It was great to see the army of volunteers out raising money for the life saving clubs on the weekend despite the atrocious weather. I strongly urge other business leaders to help support surf life saving clubs throughout the Coast.     The Gold Coast has been built on the back of the tourism industry and a big [...]read more

Congratulations to Mermaid Beach resident John Potter and his company the Potter Group, which also calls Mermaid home. They have just received the green light from Gold Coast City Council to build a new high rise tower at Broadbeach.   When completed, the $450 million project at Main Place will soar 52 stories high.

Before you Move out of Home…

Obviously there are a lot of costs involved when people buy a property, but what people often don’t realise is that there are also a lot of costs involved with setting up home in a rental too.   When you rent there are three main things you need to account for financially. First up there are the [...]read more

White Ribbon Day Tomorrow

There is however, a particularly important cause being recognised tomorrow – White Ribbon Day. White Ribbon Day is the primary awareness event to prevent and stop violence against women.   You can [...]read more

Have you got the Need for Tee?

Golfing is one of the world’s most popular spectator sports, and spring is the perfect time to get into it if you don’t play a sport and have been looking for something new to do on the weekends. It’s long been a pastime associated with prestige and wealth so it’s no surprise that the Gold [...]read more

Finding Your Dream Home

I often have home buyers (particularly those looking for their first property) ask me what the best way to conduct their search would be. As someone who’s been involved with real estate for almost longer than I can remember, I’ve seen many different methods and thought we should compare some options so that you can [...]read more

Party Houses Still a Pain for Beach Residents

Some of you may know that I have a longstanding objection to the operation of so-called ‘party houses’ in Mermaid Beach and its surrounding suburbs. It was a great disappointment for me to hear this week that the State Government rejected Council’s proposed measures to end the problem.   The Gold Coast has been blessed with many [...]read more

GC’s 100 Most Influential

I don’t know about you, but I found the ‘Gold Coast’s Most Influential People’ article in Saturday’s Gold Coast Bulletin a very interesting read.   No, not because my brother Andrew and I were listed as Number 50 (though I was very surprised & humbled!), but it is always fascinating to see the new entries in the [...]read more
