Horticulturist and Founder of The Greenwall Company, Mark Paul, predicts 2019 will be the year of green facades on the exterior of high-rise buildings across the country. Large area spaces on high-rise buildings present the opportunity for greening more surface area in total in the one job. Over the past two years the team has seen a dramatic increase in demand for greening the exteriors of high-rise buildings, with a number of large projects lined up for 2019 already. Mark Paul says, “We have been working tirelessly on creating new forms of eco-friendly greenwalls for all types of spaces, including new designs for high-rise buildings. Not only do greenwalls look fantastic on the exteriors of the buildings, but they truly transform the aesthetics and atmosphere of the street, and surrounding areas, not to mention the health benefits. “With the current boom in high-rise buildings around the country, we are excited to be working on some large projects and greening tall, large and prominent spaces with the use of larger ecological systems.” adds Mark. Mark Paul created what is believed to be the very first greenwall in Australia over 30 years ago. Today, green design is an influential part of the public domain and design interest, so naturally if there are more high-rise building developments, other trends often follow suit. Mark’s top 3 tips for green façades on high-rise buildings: Trailing or cascading plants with high biodiversity are best for high-rise buildings in order to create habitats for many native species. Plant examples include: Ficus, Metrosideros, Brachychiton Our greenwall & green roof systems are morphing into more passive gravity fed systems that offer opportunities for black water and grey water remediation with back ups of solar pumping of utilities. The more surface area to green on high-rise buildings, the better, and the more supportive the greenwall will be for the larger ecological systems. In this kind of environment many species are known to reside including over 23 species of birds, geckos, skinks and frogs amongst others.These larger scale applications can provide not just energy efficiency and amenity, but cooling and shading and expand biodiversity and eventually create flora and fauna corridors/ecosystems as part of the built environment. About the Greenwall Company: The Greenwall Company is the premier producer of modular and custom designed greenwalls in Australia. An unequalled product, Greenwall can be used like cladding to produce instant ‘greenspace’ both inside and out. The system developed by Mark Paul at The Greenwall Company over approximately 30 years, presents an innovative system based on inorganic media and adjustable substrate depth that retains moisture and simulates conditions resembling natural soil. In addition, by using plants adapted to impoverished environments and seasonal drought, The Greenwall Company achieves water efficient planting that is resilient to inevitable short-term human and mechanical failures. www.greenwall.com.au

7 Reasons To Avoid Short-Term Rental On Your Property By Bradley Jacobs – Boutique Property Agents www.boutiquepropertyagents.com The idea of putting your property on Airbnb sounds great in theory, especially if it’s in a desirable location. But while being a host can make you some quick cash, short-term rental services such as Airbnb might not be worth all the hype – at least not for the property owner. Now, don’t get me wrong, renting out your property is not a bad idea. In fact, property rental is a smart way to get ahead, but perhaps consider the benefits of long-term rental and how by enlisting the help of a real estate agency or an experienced property manager, you could save yourself time and avoid the hassle of dealing directly with renters. Here are some reasons why you should consider long-term rental: Know the people staying in your home. While you may not know them personally, chances are property agents will find tenants with a good rental reputation, so you know your property will be looked after. It’s their job to find tenants for you, so you don’t have to worry about doing the work. Consistent rental income. Most leases are on average 12 months, so you can rest easy knowing you have steady rental income for that period, which provides both security and stability. On the contrary, short-term rentals don’t always guarantee occupancy which, depending on your situation, could put a strain on your financials. Peace of mind. Having an agent manage your property ensures it will be looked after and if any issues were to arise, you wouldn’t be left having to deal with them alone. Consider them a mediator between you and the tenants. Expertise. While it may seem obvious, property agents are skilled and experienced in property management. This means they can offer you advice when needed and can guide you in making the right decisions based on your circumstances and situation. Minimise legal risks. Airbnb might be against the bylaws of your building. Therefore, it could present the property owner with legal implications. Reduce dollars spent on repairs. Short-term rental could cause more wear and tear on items in the property, potentially resulting in more regular maintenance, and possibly costing more in the long run. No insurance worries. Many insurers regard short-stay holiday rentals as commercial use of the property. This means owners may not be protected by home and content insurance if something were to happen. Ultimately, this could potentially leave the homeowner financially vulnerable to financial loss.

2019 Predictions For The Surry Hills Property Market Media Release - December 2018 The last few years have been a challenging time for those wishing to dive into the property market, but with the median house prices in Sydney down 8.1%* since its peak in 2017, experts predict that house prices will continue to fall opening up new opportunities for those who have previously missed out. The Surry Hills market continues to remain relatively steady**, but Mark Foy, Principal at Belle Property Surry Hills, predicts the median house price will continue to fall, but there is light. Mark says, “There’s exciting times ahead for those wishing to buy as they’ll be able to take advantage of the drop in the market – especially for first home buyers. But be warned, it won’t last forever. The first half of 2019 is your best bet for buying, before the federal election.” While it’s said the median house price will continue falling, experts state it could be difficult to determine just how much until after the federal election, which could see changes to negative gearing and capital gains. Mark Foy’s predications for the property market in 2019: First home buyers who have been monitoring the market will immerge to take advantage of the better buying opportunities that will be on offer in 2019. Buyers who have the borrowing capacity to trade up to a higher price bracket will be rewarded by the value the higher end of the market now offers. Investors will seek to purchase prior to the federal election in the likely case that labour is elected and negative gearing is grandfathered. Prices will dip an additional 10% in the next 12 months due to negative sentiment however the fundaments of a strong healthy Surry Hills property market still remain strong. Short-term rental accommodation will continue to be a popular avenue for investors and rents will stabilise. *Corelogic.com.au ** Propertyvalue.com.au belleproperty.com/surryhills For further information or to speak with Mark Foy, please contact: Rachel King @ 360 PR: 02 9571 4448 or rachel@360pr.com.au

Whether you are prone to breakouts, redness or inflammation, dermaviduals’ Cover & Conceal is the perfect go-to full coverage concealer. An original formula that is known and trusted by many over the past 5 years since launching, the green coloured concealer neutralises redness and hides blemishes like a magic wand. Celebrated Makeup Artist to the stars, Michael Brown, swears by this product.

Michael explains, “The dermaviduals Cover & Conceal stick is just enough green with a yellow undertone to match all skin tones and still diffuse redness very easily, but the added ‘conceal’ element means the product is slightly more dense than most, to actually completely tone down and block unwanted pinkish hues from the skin.” Key Benefits of dermaviduals Cover & Conceal: Corrects uneven skin tones. Opposite on the colour wheel when placed on top of the red irritated skin the green colouring neutralises the skin. Perfect for all skin types.

2018-12-16T19:20:54Z summer-shark-safety-with-tom-carroll

Summer is here and most Aussies are looking forward to the beach season and summer holidays! During this time, it is important that all ocean lovers take responsibility for their own water safety and look out for each other. Two-time World Surfing Champion Tom Carroll shares his top 11 tips to protect yourself from an unwanted shark encounter this summer. Tom Carroll says, “Shark Shield Technology is a win for surfers and sharks alike. It takes the wellbeing of sharks as seriously as the protection of humans and provides the ultimate safety for ocean enthusiasts during the upcoming warmer months. Ideally don’t surf alone and it’s best if you can stay out of the water at night, dawn and dusk, it’s known that these are the times when sharks will be searching for food.” Tom Carroll shares his 11 top tips to stay safe in the ocean this summer: Download the Dorsal App for iPhone or Android – Dorsal is a free community-based shark alerting solution that allows beachgoers and authorities to immediately alert others to shark sighting or attacks in their area. Wear a scientifically proven shark deterrent – Ocean Guardian products are powered by Shark Shield Technology, the world’s only scientifically proven electrical shark deterrent, nothing is more effective. Stay out of the water at night, dawn, or dusk – Sharks are most active at these times and are well equipped to locate prey even when visibility is poor. Refrain from excessive splashing – Unpredictable movements can attract sharks. If you are spearfishing and carrying fish when you see a shark, release the catch and carefully leave the area. Don't wear high-contrast clothing or light reflecting jewellery – Sharks see contrast very well and light reflecting objects may appear to be fish scales. Swim, surf or dive with a buddy – Sharks most often attack lone individuals. Avoid murky waters, harbour entrances, channels, and steep drop-offs – Sharks frequently swim around these areas. Swim in patrolled beaches Surf lifesavers look for sharks and will alert beach-goers if there is a sighting. Don't enter the water if bleeding – Sharks have an excellent sense of smell and taste and can trace blood to its source. Avoid areas where animal, human, or fish waste enters the water – Sewage attracts baitfish, which in turn attracts sharks. If fish or turtles start to act frantically, leave the water – They may be behaving this way because there is a shark nearby. Ocean Guardian CEO, Lindsay Lyon says, “The reality is that our Australian beaches are very safe, particularly for the general population swimming between the flags at patrolled beaches. However, if your diving or surfing then definitely consider using an Ocean Guardian, Powered by Shark Shield Technology, don’t take the risk, think of it like driving without a seatbelt.” About Ocean Guardian: In 2018, the Shark Shield company became Ocean Guardian®. The change of name reflects our bigger ambition - to replace shark nets and drum lines globally - to make you safe whatever you enjoy doing in the Ocean, while also protecting marine life. Ocean Guardian, powered by Shark Shield Technology, is the world’s only scientifically proven and independently tested electrical shark deterrent. Government approved and developed over two decades of research, Ocean Guardian’s patented technology creates a powerful three-dimensional electrical field, which causes safe but unbearable spasms in shark’s short-range electrical receptors, turning sharks away - including Great Whites. Nothing is more effective.

2018-12-14T00:48:50Z goodbye-traditional-dining-room

Are we about to say goodbye to the traditional Dining Room? The nature of a traditional dining experience has evolved greatly over the last few decades. With busier lifestyles and smaller properties, the shift from designated dining areas to multifunctional, open plan living spaces is more apparent than ever. Formal spaces in a home are becoming rare as homeowners are now opting towards a more relaxed, open plan style. Sydney Property Styling expert and Director of Vault Interiors, Justine Wilson says, “Nights of sitting down for a meal around your dining table are no longer the norm. More and more we are experiencing clients requesting a casual and relaxed feel to their dining areas which is resulting in a decrease in the amount of separate living and dining rooms.” Justine shares her tips on how to best utilise your dining space in 2019. When opting for an open plan dining experience rather than a separate dining room it is important that you create a seamless open plan environment. Use smaller furniture pieces such as a round glass table with dining chairs to create the illusion of more space. Layer up colours to set the tone of the room. Using a cool colour scheme to match the edgings of your kitchen will suggest cohesion between your kitchen, living and dining areas. Invest in a kitchen island. They are great for a casual place to share a meal or interact with the person preparing food. These are extremely popular in urban townhouses and smaller apartments. If you’re working with a separate dining room try Incorporating a large bookshelf or bench seat/comfortable chair near the window to add a sitting area to the space. About Vault Interiors: Vault Interiors are a dedicated team of property stylists who specialise in unlocking the potential of each and every property they step into.

2018-12-03T00:28:45Z gold-coast-family-law-firm-sets-sights-on-the-future-with-divorce-webinars

Gold Coast, Queensland:  Australia’s oldest family law firm, Jones Mitchell Family Lawyers, is modernising how people learn about what happens during a divorce with a new series of webinars on the topic. Webinars, the modern equivalent of a seminar, allow people to login and view a presentation remotely over the internet. Firm General Manager, Tim Jones, said today “Webinars are a fantastic way for people going through the early stages of separation or divorce because they can see and hear real lawyers demystify divorce from the comfort of their own home without needing to go out in public and risk being seen.” “Warwick (Jones, founder of the firm) previously held public seminars across the Gold Coast which were always well attended, but now the technology allows it, we believe the private nature of a webinar is better suited to what is a personal and sensitive topic.” The first webinar, “What to expect when you’re getting divorced” will take place Wednesday, 12 December at 7:30pm and the firm is accepting questions from the public up until COB on the 11th. People can register on the firm’s website. The series will continue early in 2019, with webinars on parenting arrangements and navigating divorce as a business owner to follow.

Schools of Early Learning – Children breaking new ground… A dedicated group of our Schools of Early Learning (SOEL) educators from across all 5 of our centres have been busy working on a long-term research project with groups of 4 year old kindy children, around community and relationships. Each location explored the unique and reciprocal nature of their relationships with their peers, community and local indigenous culture, and then came together for regular meaningful visits to Yagan Square. The children named themselves ‘The Together Group’ and produced ‘gifts to the city’ in the form of mark-making and clay sculpting, leaving these works behind are returning days later to see how they had been changed by the city. We'll be revealing our children’s gifts to the city via a video presentation on the digital tower in Yagan Square, with the launch screening on Friday 30th of November, at 6:30pm sharp! It will be running for a number of weeks and is complemented by large stickers on the ground in the area featuring children’s work and links to further information.   Find out more at: https://soel.com.au/yagan-square/   More than just child care, SOEL is a candidate IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme with a focus on the Early Years.
