The smiles said it all when Ross and
Maree Patterson were handed their
$2,000 buyer referral cheque from
Halcyon Waters Project Director, Marie
Cone recently. The Pattersons, who
hail from Mermaid Waters were so
impressed with Halcyon Waters that
they recommended Ross’s parents, Jeff
and Kathleen Patterson, who purchased
a magnificent Terrace home overlooking
the Parklands. The Patterson Juniors
coincidently were initially referred to
Halcyon Waters themselves and had not
even moved in when they referred their
parents. As for the $2,000 cheque, they
plan to spend it on some new pieces for
their home and keep spreading the word
about Halcyon. Marie Cone with Maree and Ross Patterson

Dating back as far as 25 years ago when
Sanctuary Cove first opened, Hope Island
on the Gold Coast’s North Shore was
always destined for something special.
Surrounded by water and renowned as
a recreational paradise, Hope Island has
grown to be one of the most desirable
suburbs in South-East Queensland. With
easy access to Brisbane via the M1, Hope
Island promises a lifestyle that’s second
to none. Neighbours include Sovereign
Islands and Ephraim Island, which are some
of Australia’s most valuable residential real
estate locations. The region is a mecca for
discerning retirees and boasts no less than
three golf courses.
In November 2010, the Hope Island Town
Centre site and the adjoining Marina
Quays Tavern was purchased by one of
Australia’s largest development companies,
Walker Corporation and construction is
expected to commerce in 2011. The town
centre will reportedly comprise a full range
supermarket, retail outlets, restaurants and
cafés, a tavern as well as a range of high end
fashion stores.
Walker Corporation Chief Executive and
renowned developer, Lang Walker said he
was ready to start his $80 million project.
“We see the acquisition of the site and our
plans for a major mixed-use precinct as a
strategic foray into a high-growth area with
existing infrastructure and huge potential. It
is one of the most significant sites on the
Gold Coast and it deserves an innovative
development,” he said.
recent research that was compiled by
Prdnationwide in the last quarter of
2010 shows that in terms of $1,000,000
plus sales, Hope island has recorded the
highest volume with 39 transactions.
The North Shore is home to some of the
Gold Coast’s most prestigious homes and
apartments, offering various living options
ranging from a standard suburban home
on a dry block to canal front, golf course
frontage, lake front, Broadwater fronting
properties and island living.
Road to good healthOnly weeks remain until completion
of the road and walkways to the
soon to be developed Hope Island
Town Centre. This linkage will allow
Halcyon Waters home owners to
easily walk, bike or drive to the
Town Centre and future Hope
Island Health Precinct.
Development of the Hope Island
Health Precinct also remains on
track. Chairman of Hope Island
Care and Managing Director of
Halcyon Days Pty Ltd, Dr. Bevan
Geissmann is confident the progress
of infrastructure to the approved
medical centre and residential
care facility will further highlight
the evolution of the Hope Island
Master Plan. “The planning, delivery,
integration and quality of all elements
of the Hope Island Master Plan will
benefit local residents for many years
to come. These developments we
are seeing now will not only provide
financial, but also lifestyle and health
benefits to those who live in the
Hope Island Precinct,” he said.

“When we told our children that we were
moving to Halcyon Waters they told us we
were too young to move here. Now they
joke about moving here themselves and tell
us we’ve never looked so happy.” To say
that Rob Walshe and Chrissy Chapman are
loving their new life here at Halcyon Waters
would be an understatement. The fun loving
couple settled into the North Shore lifestyle
community for over 50’s immediately. “We’d
only been living here a matter of a few
weeks when we were invited to grab a chair,
some drinks and join in an impromptu street
party. We found that everyone says hello
here, and we’ve met lots of new friends with
similar interests,” said Chrissy. “Plus no one
has to be the designated driver, it’s so easy
to stroll back from the Leisure Club or back
home from a friend’s house,” she added.
Rob agreed, “If you live in the suburbs
you may never even meet most of your
neighbours. Here it’s different. Your
neighbours are basically your close friends.”
Both still working, the couple lead a full
social life that includes regular dinners out
with friends from Halcyon Waters at some
of the many restaurants and Bistros that
dot the North Shore region.
Both are involved in various community
groups with Chrissy partial to the gym and
water aerobics to name a few. In fact right
after they were interviewed Chrissy was
off to play Mahjong with friends while Rob
went home (presumably for a breather)
before both had plans to meet up again
for a weekly movie date with friends in the
private cinema.
Along with the social side of things both
Rob and Chrissy enjoy getting out into
nature for early morning walks with the
Chrissy Chapman & Rob Walshe
family dog. The duo also enjoy cycling
around Halcyon Waters smooth wide
streets and natural parklands.
Originally from Sydney before moving
to The Gap in Brisbane, the story of
Rob and Chrissy's decision to choose
Halcyon Waters involved the exhaustive
researching of every retirement and
lifestyle community on the Gold Coast and
the Sunshine Coast. “After visiting all the
others we thought we’d have a second
look at Halcyon Waters and that was it.
We were sold, this is the place for us and
we love it!” said Rob.
Having lived on half an acre in a huge six
bedroom home with a massive pool, Rob
is relishing the fact their new home with
its alfresco terrace takes about 20 minutes
to maintain, which is a good thing when you
Never too young for Halcyon...
think of their busy social schedule. Being
used to a lot of space the couple are
delighted with their brand new Terrace
home on Shearwater Circuit with its
private outdoor space and bushland views.
The close proximity of nature suits Rob
perfectly who has swapped the alarm clock
for the sounds of the local kookaburra
family to wake to.
Asked if they are happy with their decision
to move to Halcyon Waters, both Rob
and Chrissy say they have absolutely no
regrets and that living here has exceeded
their expectations.

Pretty as a picture
Halcyon Waters home owners joined
the thousands of Queenslanders and
interstate volunteers who all pitched in to
lend a hand to victims of the devastating
Queensland floods. Home owner and
retired fireman, Graham Flack organised
a group of willing volunteers to assist
friends whose home at Westlake in
Brisbane was inundated by flood waters
up to 1.7 metres. The Halcyon Waters
community bus was commandeered and
loaded up with all sorts of equipment
including shovels, gumboots, gurneys and
some sandwiches for the workers.
In another act of kindness, home owner
Ian Pedersen joined forces once again
with Graham Flack to organise another
working bee to travel to Brisbane River
Terraces, an over 50’s community in
Goodna, to help with the big mop up the
day after the floods receded.
The streetscapes and gardens at
Halcyon Waters have taken on a life
of their own after recent rains and
subsequent sunshine. Only a few years
down the track, and already you can see
the results of the meticulous planning
by Halcyon’s design team and landscape
architects. Home owners pride in their
gardens is also quite evident when you
take an early morning stroll around the
spacious community. Here feet and
cycles really do rule the street as you
pass by garden after garden of natural
beauty. With the gardens looking so
spectacular the rumour is that there will
be a Halcyon garden competition soon.
We’ll keep you posted on the details.
Meanwhile take a good look at this

Remco Jansen.
Queenslander spirit shines through

Australia Day is always a special day
at Halcyon Waters and 2011 had an
extra special meaning for all 180 home
owners, family and friends who celebrated
together. Along with all the fun, games
and good times, the community raised
$2,600 for the Lions Club flood relief
fund. The monies were raised by home
owners and local businesses who all
pitched in to supply raffle prizes. The
Halcyon Singers provided the goosebumps
with a heartfelt medley of Aussie greats,
followed by popular vocalist Julie Jackson,
who sang a variety of songs. Everyone
tucked into hamburgers, chocolate coated
ice creams, and a few chilled wines and
cold beers were enjoyed throughout
the day, and into the afternoon. Halcyon
Waters annual “Australian of the Year”
was bestowed upon Doug Naumann who
accepted the crown from 2010 winner
Kevin Maggs.
Sue Stevens, Community Manager
Southport choir, (watch out Halcyon
