Surf Life Saving Draw 181

It takes a lot of commitment to become a qualified surf life saver.

All the training and practice to qualify, just so that each individual surf life saver is able to volunteer their time for the benefit of their communities.

For example, to become a bronze beach patroller, a member must obtain a specific level of skills in surf awareness, rescue techniques, radio communication, CPR and first aid.

And to accomplish that knowledge, there are a whole bunch of learning modules they have to work through, to achieve their level of accomplishment.

It’s a whole lot more involved than you might think.

Being a nipper, or a surf life saver is a lifestyle, and in many instances, a family lifestyle, it’s a lifelong love affair, with the water, the people, the fitness and the responsibility. Not to mention the thrill of playing an instrumental part in saving someone’s life.

Many say that these instances form their proudest moments in life.

Indeed people who have been saved also say that, although they may not remember everything that was involved in saving their lives (especially if they weren’t breathing), they will never forget the profound event, that gave them a second chance at life.

They say they value their lives more and they will never forget the generosity and expertise of the life savers involved and that they will always be indebted to them and will never forget them.

That certainly is a legacy to be proud of. We should never take them, or their safety for granted. We should also remember, they are not patrolling our favourite beaches as a job that pays penalty rates on weekends.

Each and every life saver is there out of the goodness of their hearts and as a service to their communities.

The perfect setting for the perfect lifestyle Prize Home.

“Coast Broadwater” is a master planned, architecturally designed residential sky home complex in Labrador, a northern suburb of the Iconic Gold Coast in South East Queensland.

Located across the road from Labrador Beach and Harley Park, a picture perfect green space on the beach foreshore, Coast Broadwater is a new complex only completed in 2016.

Views of the Broadwater are uninterrupted and will never be built out. Each apartment has quality appointments, with many sky homes cleverly and uniquely sprawled over two levels in penthouse style configuration.

Each sky home is a quintessential example of luxury beachside living, without breaking the bank. With spacious decks and internal living areas, merge seamlessly to invite the breathtaking outside in, for a truly enviable day to day lifestyle experience.

Coast Broadwater is conveniently positioned within short walking distance to everything that is anything. From a selection of charismatic cafes, restaurants, ice-creameries, clubs, bars and boutiques, to public transport, world-class amenities and infrastructure, this complex offers residents the opportunity to largely do away with the necessity to drive.

Living the Coast Brightwater lifestyle.

Fall asleep, listening to the mesmerizing sound of waves breaking on white sandy beaches, and wake up to the sun peeking out and glistening across the water, as it reaches into the sky, while you enjoy a ham and cheese croissant, a latte and newspaper, before you contemplate, how you can best spend your day.

Work out in the resident’s gym, before getting some laps in, in the podium salt water pool, before making an espresso to give you a “pick me up”.

You can then head across the road to Harley park and sit in the calm water of the unique natural lagoon.

There are two children’s playgrounds for when the kids are around, the southern playground is a nautical ship theme, whereas, the northern playground is more about climbing and balancing on ropes.

The Gold Coast is famous for many reasons, most of which, money just cannot buy.

The Gold Coast is celebrated for its schoolies week, for hosting Grand Prix, for having one of only 4 Casinos in Queensland, for having Cavill Avenue. The Gold Coast is revered for having Resorts- lots of resorts, for having fabulous Theme Parks, and not just one or two, or three, but four, for having Ripley’s Believe it or not and for having a vast array of nightclubs, bars and pubs, clubs, sports venues, World class shopping precincts and the list goes on…..

Yet the Gold Coast also has some spectacular forestry from state forest to World heritage forests, like Narang National Park and Nerang State Forest, Mount Barney National Park, Glen Rock State Forest and Main Range National Park t name just a portion.

The Gold Coast has many other styles of natural sites at the heart of what visitors value as a holiday must-see destinations.

If you enjoy recreational activities or adventure, you will understand why the following adventures draw so many travellers and new residents to the region; activities such as exploring Glow Worm Caves, the natural bridge circuit in Springbrook National Park, the Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk, the treetop challenge at Currumbin, whale watching on one of the catamarans. There’s Thunderbird Park, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Jet Ski surfaris, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Sky Diving, water diving, fishing, boating, or golfing.

These are certainly draw cards for the Gold Coast and natural assets are arguably far more valuable to a Region than man-made sites.

But everyone who’s anyone will agree, that by far, the most popular and famous natural drawcard for the Gold Coast is it’s magnificent white soft sandy beaches, with predictable wave breaks and breathtaking sunrises to signify the start to another day in the life of a tourist magnet.

Local market wrap

Labrador is a beachside suburb, it is considerably more affordable than its southern Gold Coast counterparts. My theory is simply that investors prefer surf beaches to naturally protected beaches.

However, The Broadwater is still exceptionally popular as Labrador has one of Australia’s only beachside lagoons.

Across the road from your front door is Hervey Park which is night lit, making it ideal for twilight BBQ’s. There are also 2 substantial children’s playgrounds, highly sought after and frequented by young families.

Labrador and the greater Gold Coast region have ample infrastructure and amenities such as public transport, with stage 2 of the $420 million light rail due for completion in early 2018, hospitals and ancillary medical precincts, education facilities and distinguished Universities, world class shopping precincts.

There is also consistently high performing tourism, a seemingly endless variety of tourism magnets and the impending 2018 Commonwealth Games, together with the significant expenditure in excess of $2 Billion to cater for the Games and beyond. All of these factors will conspire to ensure strong capital growth in the real-estate investment marketplace.

If you hold on to your fabulous Sky home into the longer term, you are sure to reap the benefit of capital gains on the value of your waterfront abode.
