<strong>11</strong> September <strong>2012</strong><br />
Local artist paints a new canvas for Margate<br />
According to a local Margate<br />
business the beautification of the<br />
area did come at the expense<br />
and inconvenience of many local<br />
businesses.<br />
Trees were planted at regular<br />
intervals along Oxley Avenue<br />
to make for a visually pleasant<br />
streetscape. Unfortunately a lot of<br />
the offices and shops in this area<br />
were built back in the day when large<br />
awnings were popular to provide<br />
shelter along the footpath. Now with<br />
the location of trees along those<br />
same footpaths, a lot of businesses<br />
are no longer visually recognisable<br />
as signs promoting and advertising<br />
the location of individual shops or<br />
offices have now become blocked<br />
by these trees.<br />
According to Christina Bakker of<br />
RB Lawyers, “In our situation we<br />
also had the additional problem of<br />
a large 16 metre wall on the corner<br />
of Oxley Avenue, running down<br />
Wighton Street that had been for<br />
many years a wonderful billboard<br />
advertisement<br />
for our business.<br />
“Now with the trees planted our<br />
expensive signage was no longer<br />
visible.<br />
“Graffiti vandalism has long been<br />
a problem, however with this large<br />
expanse of wall now vacant we<br />
were being attacked weekly by<br />
graffiti vandals.<br />
“This grew both tiresome and<br />
expensive to fix,” she said.<br />
The idea of a mural came to the<br />
owner of the building, Christina<br />
Bakker, in a dream. With much<br />
excitement the artist in her dream<br />
looked, from behind, suspiciously<br />
like renowned local artist Tricia<br />
Reust.<br />
After encouragement from one<br />
of Tricia’s art students to approach<br />
Tricia with this dream vision,<br />
Christina’s excitement when<br />
Tricia accepted the challenge was<br />
matched only by Tricia’s excitement<br />
to realise Christina’s dream.<br />
The mural is over three metres<br />
high and more than 13 metres long<br />
and depicts a wonderful scene from<br />
the Margate/Woody Point foreshore.<br />
A special coating will be applied<br />
to ensure that bored youth do<br />
not destroy this wonderful and<br />
remarkable wall of art. Security<br />
cameras have also been placed<br />
around the building to assist in<br />
catching vandals.<br />
The mural is well underway and<br />
it has already drawn much talk<br />
amongst the community and many<br />
visitors.<br />

Funding for local multicultural projects<br />
The Member for Murrumba, Reg<br />
Gulley MP, has urged community<br />
organisations to apply for<br />
Queensland Government grants<br />
of up to $10,000 for community<br />
projects or to stage multicultural<br />
events next year.<br />
The 2013 Multicultural<br />
Queensland Partnerships Program<br />
grants round was announced<br />
today by the Minister for Aboriginal<br />
and Torres Strait Islander and<br />
Multicultural Affairs Glen Elmes.<br />
Mr Gulley said funding is available<br />
for activities in four categories:<br />
multicultural festivals, cultural<br />
heritage events, strengthening<br />
capacity projects and week-long<br />
festivals.<br />
“This funding gives local<br />
organisations the chance to stage<br />
events that truly reflect their own<br />
community,” Mr Gulley said.<br />
“Locals can come together,<br />
acknowledge and celebrate their<br />
differences in their own backyard -<br />

New grant to help first home owners and construction industry in Murrumba<br />
Murrumba first home buyers<br />
and the construction industry are<br />
set to benefit from the most<br />
generous ongoing first home owner<br />
grant in Australia in the Newman<br />
Government's first budget.<br />
Reg Gulley MP said first home<br />
buyers would receive $15,000 - up<br />
from $7,000 - when purchasing a<br />
newly constructed home or property<br />
off the plan, under the re-shaped<br />
First Home Owner Construction<br />
Grant (formerly First Home<br />
Owner Grant).<br />
"This new grant will benefit first<br />
home buyers and give the local<br />
construction industry a much<br />
needed boost," Mr Gulley said.<br />
"First home owners buying a newly<br />
constructed or off-the-plan property<br />
who sign a contract on or after<br />
September 12 will receive $15,000,<br />
a great head start on paying off their<br />
mortgage.<br />
Mr Gulley said this generous<br />
grant was aimed at making home<br />
ownership more affordable.<br />
"We've already wiped $7,000 off<br />
the cost of buying the family home<br />
by reinstating the principal place of<br />
residence transfer duty concession,"<br />
he said.<br />
Walking on Water<br />

Release date to be<br />
announced soon.<br />
www.innerjewels.info<br />
The local construction industry is<br />
also set to benefit from the targeted<br />
and ongoing initiative.<br />
"The construction industry is one<br />
of the four pillars of the Queensland<br />
economy, along with tourism,<br />
agriculture and resources," he said.<br />
"It is a major job generator and<br />
important to our local economy<br />
and the First Home Owners<br />
Construction Grant will help get the<br />
sector powering along again.<br />

BANG ON 1st 1350m. Timed her<br />
run home to perfection, settled right<br />
at the end of the field, pulled out<br />
rounding the turn and hauled them<br />
in. It was her first start after a spell,<br />
and this effort was very impressive,<br />
she'll be hard to hold out next run,<br />
and must be considered.<br />
LISELLE 1st 1200m. Had to work<br />
hard to get her apple this time under<br />
the massive weight she lugged<br />
around, raced close to the lead with<br />
BEGGIN the second placegetter,<br />
and a runner who has never been<br />
unplaced over this distance, these<br />
two had a ding dong battle down<br />
the straight with LISELLE doing the<br />
better, however, keep your eye on<br />
SEA MARVISTA, she is in top form<br />
and was consistent all the way, to<br />
finish less than a half a length from<br />
LISELLE.<br />
DANAGAZE 1st 1600m. Would've<br />
won by a greater margin if he<br />
hadn't had to wait for a hole to go<br />
through until around the 100 metre<br />

out. Put in a tenacious effort to win<br />
with heaps still in the tank, he will<br />
be worth following he has a really<br />
good track record here, and can't be<br />
overlooked, stick with him.<br />
SOLZHENITSYN 1st 1350m.<br />
Had a bit of a rough start this time,<br />
knocked in to a barrier partition<br />
almost flattening his jockey, this was<br />
his fourth start over this distance<br />
and has made it four out of four and<br />
was his first start after a spell. He<br />
has a top record on dry tracks, gave<br />
this a really good shake under a big<br />
weight. Four wins in a row now for<br />
this fellow, don't dismiss.<br />
ATTICA 1st 2200m. Had his mind<br />
right on the job and settled nicely<br />
in the running. Had moved forward<br />
to be running second rounding the<br />
turn, took the lead about 250 metre<br />
out and fought off the eye opener<br />

flying home like a jet and is also one<br />
to watch. ATTICA is now on a hat<br />
trick, watch his weight, it may be the<br />
major factor.<br />
SOMEDAY 1st 1350m. Still<br />
maintains his 100 percent place<br />
rate with three firsts and three<br />
seconds from six starts. Has been<br />
trained exceedingly well, gives the<br />
impression that theres still more to<br />
come, sat in the right spot just off<br />
the pace till straightening for home,<br />
where showed he's just that good,<br />
however one to note who came<br />
home like a whirlwind is ALVITAS.<br />
He had the afterburners going full<br />
pelt, and will be hard to hold out<br />
next time.<br />
I'M COOL 1st <strong>11</strong>10m. Went out<br />
the one the punters wanted proved<br />
he's got the bottle and has been<br />
placed at every start. Sat second<br />
to DOUBLE IMAGE until the turn,<br />
then he headed for the post. Held<br />
off MERRYANNA who was trying<br />
hard to win and must go down in<br />
your book, she'll be better for this<br />
and just might rock their boats next<br />
time, one to watch.<br />

30 DAY DEADLINE!<br />
12 Armstrong Street, Clontarf<br />
Owners want this home sold in 30 days or it goes<br />
onto the rental market!<br />
This well maintained air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2<br />
bathroom brick and tile home home in a pleasant<br />
street is a bit different from the norm and so suited<br />
to modern family life. Each bedroom has built-ins<br />
and ceiling fans. The front terrace leads to a good<br />
sized lounge area. Kitchen is modern and has a<br />
dishwasher, ceramic cooktop, filtered water, secret<br />
pantry and is adjacent to the dining area.<br />
Now this is where it is unusual - there is a second<br />
kitchen area which has been well utilised as a<br />
multi-purpose area.<br />
Approved spa is sheltered in an outside<br />
entertainment area. Two "Men's Sheds" in the level<br />
back yard, a double lock-up garage and double<br />
carport means there's plenty of room for the<br />
family's cars, boats, tools and toys! There's a<br />
5000ltr water tank but you won't see it - it's<br />
underground so doesn't take up valuable playing<br />
area on the large 696m2 block. Small window of<br />
opportunity so you need to be quick! $460,000<br />
negotiable.<br />
