Great Ocean Road Real Estate Marathon Course Record Smashed.

Posted on May 20, 2011 by

Kenyan James Kipkelwon smashed the course record in winning the seventh Great Ocean Road Real Estate International Marathon from Lorne to Apollo Bay last Sunday.

Kipkelwon, 32, clocked 2hours 27mins 42secs on the 45.2km twisting, hilly trek to break Mark Tucker’s 2010 milestone by more than two minutes.

Kenyans snared the first three placings after setting a cracking early pace in overcast, near-perfect marathon-running conditions.

Best-placed Australian in the Great Ocean Road Real Estate-sponsored event was Melbourne’s Magnus Michelsson who battled into fourth place in 2:40:06 after suffering a hamstring strain at the half-way mark.

Geelong’s Natalie Mensch, wife of former Geelong footballer David Mensch, won the women’s section in 3:20:17.

The event attracted more than 3,500 contestants from 15 countries.

Comprehensive coastal mapping over the next four years will help local councils better plan for the impacts of climate change and sea surges, according to Planning Minister Matthew Guy.

This week’s state budget contains $5.4million next financial year and earmarks a further $4.3million over the following three years to undertake the research.

“The government acknowledges that councils, planners and developers want an end to the political haggling surrounding planning decisions.” Guy said

A buyers market?

Posted on May 3, 2011 by

The strong Australian dollar, slowing tourism and sluggish buyer interest is causing discounting of many coastal properties across the country, though a few areas are bucking the trend.

RP Data senior analyst Cameron Kusher says ‘people aren’t moving to the coastal areas like they were before the global financial crisis when people were buying holiday homes…Its seen more as a luxury item and people are more conservative now’. In some areas pessimism persists and buyers are sitting on the fence. There are a few exceptions however. Areas with a diverse economic base are likely to attract more capital growth compared with their tourism-reliant counterparts.

In Victoria, Kusher highlighted Fairhaven as an example of an area with stronger growth potential. It is a ‘diversified market and a close commute to a capital city’ he said.
