At Womens Expo in Redcliffe

Council-managed business space, Redcliffe Hive, hosted a Women’s Business Expo on July 17.

On the day, there were about 15 exhibitors from all kinds of businesses: the law, air conditioning, celebrations and funerals convenor, personal travel agent, success coaching, spiritual health, self-publishing, and more.

Many of the business women spoken to had a great day, making vital connections, attending the presentations when possible, and giving out some information to attendees.

Sue Lester, of Growing Content, did a presentation on “Stop Tripping over Head Trash on Your Path to Success”. I didn’t see this one, but Sue talks about how our inside images of ourselves can affect our lives.

Paula Burgess gave us her insights into “running your business around children”, with her experience in caring for a special needs child and juggling a growing coaching business simultaneously certainly inspiring to attendees. One of the participants was about to have a baby, so advice about managing priorities and giving yourself time will help her when bubs comes along and disrupts the business schedule!

The council plans to host a series of workshops to cover other areas of local business. Any business in the region can become a member at Redcliffe Hive for free and partake in monthly networking nights, get the newsletter, and attend free Tuesday lunchtime events.

New Multi-storey Development planned for Redcliffe Parade

There are long-term plans for the old Crazy Clarks building in Redcliffe Parade to be demolished to make way for a multi-storey, upmarket development.

Plans include for 270 carparks, plus commercial and residential spaces. But the DA has to be approved before any work can proceed — a long procedure. The 1200 sqm space is currently used for the Indoor Markets, a mix of clothing, handmade jewellery, accessories, and teddies which is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The general consensus is that locals hope that any new development will be an improvement in this Redcliffe frontage. Dennis Austen of Mister Real Estate says “it could be more than five years away before anything major happens”. This is because 50% of the project has to be sold before the finance is approved to build it.

The outside wall adjoining this large space and the Jetty Arcade is to have street art painted on it, and tendering for this is now taking place.
