Autumn 2010

Marissa Clark and Rebekah Bujtor give true meaning to the description “hands-on”. Not only do the bubbly 28-year-old physiotherapists use their hands for a living, they are hands-on building a business that provides quality health-care services.

The two friends, who attended school and university together, are co-directors of The Wentworth Point Family Medical Practice, which opened in The Piazza last month. This new venture follows on from the pair’s Newington Family Medical Practice, which has been providing medical and health care to this area since 2007.

Marissa and Rebekah have fitted out their new practice with the latest medical equipment and technology, offering the best possible services for their patients.

The practice is staffed by two highly-qualified and professional family GPs, Dr Kathy Roncevic and Dr Anthony Yap, who provide family medical services, including childhood immunisations and travel vaccines. The doctors are Workcover and DVA approved.

Dr Roncevic has a special interest in women’s health, while Dr. Yap is highly regarded by his patients in the Newington area.

Since the new practice opened residents have warmed to the friendly staff and their personal approach. “The doctors and staff are happy to be providing professional and family-oriented medical care in a comfortable and relaxed environment that’s in a convenient location for the community,” said Rebekah. “We have received good support from residents. Marissa lives at The Waterfront, and we have developed many friendships here.”

Over the coming weeks The Wentworth Point Family Medical Practice will introduce a skin cancer and cosmetic clinic, which will perform skin checks and minor cosmetic procedures, such as Botox.

new medical centre has the female touch

The local practice is linked with the Newington facility, which offers additional health-care services such as psychology, physiotherapy, remedial massage therapy, dietary and gynaecology.

Appointments at both Newington and Wentworth Point Family Medical Practice can be made on by calling: 9739 8828. However, the staff will always do their best to accommodate walk-in appointments.

A new government bus service, no. 526 starts on 21 March, replacing the Community Bus which makes its last trip on Saturday 20 March.

The government service to Strathfield Station will travel down Hill Road, through Newington, Olympic Park and on to Strathfield and Burwood Stations.

Using this service will help secure its future and improve residents’ access

to the wider area, reducing reliance on private cars.

The Waterfront’s residents at the start of the bus route are crucial in preserving the service from this location. With a growing community comprising Mariners Cove, The Waterfront and Harbour Side, this new public transport is a great advantage to commuters and other travellers, including visiting family and friends.

New bus serviceFairer faresThe new ‘My Multi’ tickets save you between $500 and $1100 per year. It’s a win for the Wentworth Point Community as it puts a cap on our transport costs. Find out how the savings work, at the information meeting (see below).

travis, vow of silence

He’s the colourful guy who arrives at The Waterfront on a motor bike and enlivens The Piazza with his larger-than-life personality. Travis George certainly doesn’t look, dress or act like a priest, yet he has played a sort of “Father confessor” during the five years since establishing Travis George Hair. Travis is a willing and valuable sounding-board, and he says offering considered advice just comes with the job he loves.

“Clients build a special trust with their hairdresser that, over time, can develop into friendship,” says Travis.

“For me, knowing something about a client’s lifestyle plays a big part in creating a personalised hairstyle for them. I love that aspect of the job, and though I have heard some amazing confessions from the chair over the years I firmly believe these should be kept behind the salon doors!”

While Travis maintains a priestly ‘vow of silence’ over salon conversations, he was prepared to divulge to Village Talk that males are becoming as concerned as women about their appearance.

“It’s the New Age,” he said.

“Around 35 per cent of our clients are men, and a good proportion of them have highlights or a colour put in their hair, and they also spend a considerable amount on hair product.”

“Not that there was anything wrong with that”, Travis added in Seinfeld-esque style.

NEW DAY SPA

Life just keeps getting better at The Waterfront. The newest attraction at The Piazza is Viva le Spa. Village Talk got the low-down on how they plan to reinvigorate your body, mind and soul.

“Relax-Refresh-Reconnect” is the slogan and the formula Viva le Spa is offering locals who love being pampered. If you yearn for well-being and indulgence, this new salon is for you.

Richard Anthony and his wife Sandra bring their five-star spa

services to The Waterfront, after taking a well-deserved two-year break from the industry.

The couple started ‘Urban Fringe’ at Newington five years ago, which proved incredibly popular. Within just three years they had opened eight ‘Urban Fringe’ beauty and hair salons throughout Sydney.

“The stress of running so many salons took its toll on us, so we sold the business and chilled out,” said Richard. “We are now fully refreshed and ready to start again. However,

this time, we’re not looking for expansion – we’re

sticking with just one salon.”

Viva Le Spa is an oasis of calm. Tranquil

b a c k g r o u n d music and wonderful

Travis has 23 years of international experience in London, North America and Europe. Two other full-time international stylists are on his team – Katherine from Columbia and Ruth from London. He describes his salon as “boutique”, comparing the quality of his services with that of a fine dining restaurant. “If you want pub food, then we’re not for you.”

From the moment you enter the salon, be prepared for five-

star service. It starts with the offer of a drink – wine, beer or non-alcohol ic – and some cheese and crackers, then the pampering starts, with a soothing hot towel and scalp massage treat-ment. Leaving clients feeling relaxed and

pampered is all part of the personal service.

Travis says hairdressing is an artistic outlet that lets stylists express their flair.

“Being able to make clients feel special about themselves is what’s most rewarding. If we look good, we feel good, so going to the hairdresser should

be an experience people look forward to.”

“We create an individual style with the emphasis on maintenance,” said Travis. “It is pointless walking out of a salon with a funky, cutting-edge style if you can’t recreate the look when you get home, so part of our job is educating clients on how to maintain it.”

This education will extend to monthly workshops called ‘Girls Night In’ where the team will teach women – and men, too – the art of blow-drying, styling and how to care for their hair at home. “We are also going to introduce an exciting new mineral make-up retail range which we’ll incorporate into our workshops, as an add-on to our hair services. We’re also looking forward to working closely with Viva Le Spa, next door and joining forces to offer some amazing hair and beauty packages.”

Travis has generated such a widespread clientele that he opened a second salon in Broadway a couple of years ago.

Travis George Hair Shop 3F, The Piazza, The WaterfrontOpening hours: Tues 10.00am - 5.00pmWed - Fri 10.00am - lateSat 9.00am - 5.00pmSun by appointment only.Mon closed.

aromas fill its five treatment rooms. Clients can enjoy beauty and body therapies, facials, massages, manicures, pedicures and spray-on tanning.

For the more adventurous, there’s microdermabrasion – a thorough body scrub using oxide crystals to remove dead skin cells and cleanse pores. Laser hair reduction is available too, which is where unwanted hair is removed by intense pulse light.

The service list also includes waxing, anti-ageing treatments such as Botox injections and body piercing.

“We chose The Piazza for our new salon because it is so relaxed and we always have an enjoyable time when we come here,” said Richard, whose brother Gavin and his wife Karin live at The Waterfront, along with three other good friends.

“We often eat at the restaurants here, and have formed an affinity with the area.”

Viva Le Spa is offering a range of special packages, some including lunch. A loyalty card for residents saves 15% on each treatment, so be sure to visit soon.Make an appointment online via [email protected] or phone 9475 6888

You know what makes Wentworth Point special, but the majority of Sydneysiders have no idea about Sydney’s newest suburb.

It’s not often there’s a call to ‘brand’ a place, but that’s just what happened recently. After the name change took place, The Waterfront decided to play a part by helping to ‘re-brand’ the area.

The resulting campaign from local research, ‘I am The New Sydney’ is now appearing on ads, web pages and marketing material.

The message residents wanted to send was, “I love my neighbourhood. I’m part of the community. I encourage others to live or invest at

take a look at us now!

The Waterfront at Wentworth Point.”

The aim of the promotion is to make Wentworth Point a proud new ‘brand’ and to share and promote this ‘secret destination’ with others. By renewing the suburb’s brand in line with the new suburb name, Wentworth Point will be positioned as an aspirational community lifestyle.

Branding is a reference point that builds reputation. More than a logo or a catchy tag line, a brand sums up all the important elements with clarity and style. The consistent theme “I am the New Sydney” will emphasise what’s unique about Wentworth Point and set it apart from other locations.

Food, fashion, fun, frivolities and Ferraris will be key ingredients at this year’s Italian Festa on Sunday, March 14.

The free day-long Festa celebrates La Dolce Vita – Italian for “The sweet life” – and showcases the finest aspects of Italian lifestyle, including produce, wine, music, song and dance.

There is something for every member of the family.

For the adults: pizza-making challenges, chocolate-making demonstrations from the on-site Chocolate Café, a competition to find Sydney’s best barista, and wine, cheese, olive and beer tastings.

For the kids: games, rides, face painting, art and pottery workshops, a jumping castle and an animal farm.

The Italian Festa will be held from 10am to 5pm in The Piazza. Restaurants ‘Concerto’ and ‘Cucina Visconti’ will offer mouth-watering specials during The Festa, while the Bocce Club will provide authentic Italian sausages in-a-roll from their BBQ trailer.

Keeping the entertainment coming will be singers, dancers and fashion shows.

“This event celebrates Italian culture and brings out the passion in all of us,” said Luciano Casmiri, who is President of The Bocce Club.

Further information is available by contacting Luciano Casmiri on [email protected] phone 0438 856 568, or through the web site: www.thewaterfrontbocce.net

library upgradeYou can’t always tell book by its cover, but the new-look library at The Waterfront is one you’ll want to use regularly. One stage of renovations have finished, with additional new shelves and magazine racks plus better signage making the library easier to use.

“We have freed up space and are displaying the books and magazine more professionally

now, so finding what you want should be simple,” said head librarian Phil Mulhearn, who stressed that the upgrade is on-going.

“We have at least 80 regular users, and our numbers are growing. So is our collection of reading matter.”

There are 10 volunteer librarians on a roster, at your service. Make a visit soon to

check out the renovations – and a few books too.

The library is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm, and on Wednesday from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

If you have this ‘affliction’ you are not alone - 75% of the world’s population shares this fear. The good news is that it can be overcome.

Speak For Yourself meets every second and fourth Monday at The Function Centre, from

7.30 to 9.30pm, with refreshments provided.

What differentiates Speak For Yourself from most other public speaking clubs is its informality. “We aim to

make each evening fun and, by doing that, people start to relax and enjoy themselves. When this happens, their anxiety about

public speaking lessens,” said Ingrid Hoppe, whose experience comes

from Toastmasters. Ingrid runs the meeting group with the assistance of three colleagues and the support of regular attendees.

“As people’s confidence grows so too do their skills, and before too long most people actually start to enjoy speaking and socializing in public.”

“Becoming a competent public or social speaker can help in so many ways on a professional and personal level. It helps in job interviews, increases your value to your employer or your clients, strengthens your leadership qualities, enhances your ability to communicate, be understood and be heard, and it improves your social skills.”

This is the catchy, totally apt name for The Waterfront’s newest club. It has been established to help people overcome glossophobia, which is the technical term for the fear of public speaking.Speak

WALKInG FOR PLEASuRE CLuB


Residents at The Waterfront are a happy bunch, but it would be hard for anyone to match the enthusiasm of Paul Marchant. Paul had even more reasons to smile recently when 80 friends at his 50th birthday party included team mates from The Waterfront’s Bocce Club, who gave him a personalised fluro red Bocce Club jacket and a double set of coloured Bocce balls.

Paul is a keen player who wins most of his matches, according to fellow players.

“I’d never played it until I moved to The Waterfront about a year ago, but I had seen lawn bowls on TV and there are some similarities,” said Paul. “I like everything about the game, but the best part is the company of my team.”

Paul’s social bug comes

from his parents, Win and Ken, with the three forming a tight-knit family Win calls “the three Musketeers” to describe the bond enjoyed from including Paul in every family activity.

Paul is the second-youngest of five sons. While the other four have settled in far flung parts of Australia, Paul remains at home, “looking after mum and dad,” as he puts it.

The Marchants do everything together; water aquaerobics on Tuesday, pilates on Wednesday, the community barbecue on Friday, ballroom dancing on Sunday, plus taking long walks almost daily.

“Paul’s also quite a good dancer,” said Win. “We dance to a live band at the North Ryde RSL, and Paul is a real hit with the ladies. He loves them and they love him.”

“Paul gives us so much love, and has made us, and our other four sons, better human beings,” said Ken. “We are a lot more tolerant of others, more patient and, I suppose, more caring.

“Everything we’ve done for Paul has been reciprocated many times over. He is so loving, so funny, and has such a lovely disposition.”

Paul is a sporting aficionado, watching it constantly, and has played cricket, rugby, soccer and tennis. But undoubtedly his special love is bocce, where club president Lou Casmiri reports good news. Funds are being steadily accumulated to replace the existing court with a tournament-sized, professional-standard court.

“This will allow us to invite other bocce clubs over for

competitions,” said Lou.

And when the visitors arrive, they won’t be able to miss Paul, who’ll be waiting in his new red jacket, sporting that disarming smile.

WILLIAMS

A trio of contemporary build-ings called Corsica, containing 215 apartments ranging from one-bedroom to three-bed-rooms, will be constructed on the corner of Baywater Drive and Hill Road.

Work is scheduled to begin in April and is expected to be completed in mid 2011.

CorsicaStepping down from eight-

storeys to six, the three buildings are grouped around a central courtyard of native trees, plants and vegetation.

Architects Robertson + Marks have given the buildings a co-ordinated look of visual interest and character. Pergolas, sunhoods, balustrades and

external shutters will be set off against facades combining face bricks with rendered and painted masonry. Setbacks and voids will create contrasts of light and shade.

The interior designs at Corsica will focus on natural light and cross-flow ventilation. Living areas and bedrooms make the most of privacy and solar access, flowing on to terraces and blurring outdoor ‘rooms’ with the indoors.

Layouts at Corsica will be functional with clean lines. Quality fixtures and fittings and special touches like tiled entries,

recessed lighting, high-grade carpets, built-in and walk-in robes, video security intercom and 24-hour security will be standard.

Kitchens will have stone benchtops, semi-gloss poly-urethane cupboards, stainless steel appliances and polished chrome tapware. Bathrooms and ensuites have ‘floating’ vit-reous china basins, frameless mirrors, polished chrome taps and mosaic tiles.

Most apartments at Corsica will overlook parkland or the leafy courtyard. The placement of clear and opaque windows

has been carefully considered to maximise privacy. External screens and blinds will allow residents to control their environment and make the most of the elements.

Communication facilities including broadband, pay television and surround sound will be standard available services.

With no newly-built apart-ments available at The Waterfront, demand for Corsica will be strong. A marketing centre has been established at The Piazza, which is open daily from 9.00am to 4.00pm.

Our next new building

A vision beyond the next generation is the driving force of The Waterfront’s new partner, Sekisui House. A continued affinity between people, places and the environment will build on the successful lifestyles in this unique village.

‘For people to live comfortably in one place and thrive over the long term they must have communities that enrich their lives’. This is the urban development charter of Sekisui House, and the basis for creating communities that age well, along with their residents. Perhaps this concept is best summed up by one of the company’s principles: “building towns whose beauty blooms with time”.

Sekisui House believes consideration must always be given

to the next generation and the balance between the environment and society. In partnership with Sekisui House, this is the principle The Waterfront will follow.

“Societies everywhere face issues forcing us to redefine our relationship with the earth. We urgently need to turn our social and economic systems away from the habits of consumption and towards more sustainable alternatives,” said Mr Abe, Director.

“We feel that by designing high-quality dwellings that last for generations, residents are happier and their environment is better cared for. Towards this end we are strengthening our systems to better integrate residential construction with lifestyle enhancement. We are also working to establish new design and construction processes that provide greater value to society.

“We will continue to promote change in all our corporate activities with the goal of establishing greater harmony between individuals, communities and the environment.”

The resort-living atmosphere here at The Waterfront is what makes this project so special. With such diversity in property type from one bedrooms right up to penthouses, we find people from all age groups and all income levels happily enjoying the range of community activities, recreational spaces and fabulous social connectivity that is possible in this suburb.

Now is a great time to purchase property, whether you are an owner-occupier or investor. Taking advantage of competitive pricing.

I invite you to look around and compare The Waterfront with other properties in the area – consider the value, the quality and spaciousness of the apartments, the lifestyle, the surrounding parklands and the spirit of community.
