Manfred “Manny” Makauskas
Manfred started surfing in the 1960’s, on Sydney’s “south side” mainly Cronulla and Maroubra. Weekend surfaris down the South Coast would include Sandon Point, Belambi Shallows, The Farm, etc all the way down to Eden etc. Whale Beach, Palm Beach and Avalon became favorite surf spots. He started off on longboards and lived through the shortboard revolution when boards dropped from 9 foot plus down to under 6 foot. Very exciting times to grow up in. He has had a varied career, including Real Estate, Building and Advertising. He built homes in extreme places on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and he always appreciated the rugged beauty of these locations. Surfing was a life time’s passion so he relished the job of being offered the job of National Advertising Manager for Tracks Magazine (1978-81) . He was also National Advertising Manager for Simply Living (1981-1982)...
Manfred with his family moved to the Gold Coast in 1980. He first came to Burleigh Heads in 1965 on his first big east coast surfari which led up to Noosa Heads. Burleigh was to become one of his favorite point breaks as well as Currumbin, Kirra and Snapper. After working as a builder for a number of years he went back into Real Estate in the late 80’s.MaM
In 1991 He saw an advertisement in the Gold Coast Bulletin place by Ian Marshall and Graeme Nichols about a meeting to start a new Long Board Club at Burleigh. He went along with his nephews and a few mates. He was elected the first President and so began a life long association. The club broke new ground both as a friendly social club, but also a strong competitive one. Ian Marshall and Manfred created the Anzac Day “Dawn Surface” which has become an iconic event. Manfred acquired and created the Anzac Day Trophy which is a fantastic prize to win. To think its coming up to its 25th year is very impressive. The story of The Ode which is read every year is a true one. Manfred saw Max Turner the veteran who wrote the poem looking at the trophy and walked over and invited him to present the trophies. Max did so proudly and continued for a few years till old age and ill health prevented him. There are a lot more tales to be told about BLC , charity events, successes and parties over the years so maybe little by little they will be told. Manfred has been a leading Real Estate Agent in Burleigh Heads for over 25 years and has sponsored and supported the club since the beginning. He is happy to help anyone in real estate matters so ask for him personally at Burleigh Property Sales at Burleigh Heads if you are ever in the market. (0418 756084}

Cr Donna Gates says the "huge intensification" of proposed development risks the Gold Coast's lifestyle — your thoughts?

Council's proposed 'Local Growth Management Strategy' calls for 185,000 new dwellings over 20 years, to house 388,000 more people.

Based on state projections, meeting the target would mean 30,000 new homes between Broadbeach and Burleigh — which Cr Gates says is "way over the odds."

"Light rail 4 is off the table — that changes everything in terms of the spine and the density proposed."

She's also raised concerns that building high-rises in suburbs like Coomera, clashes with the low-rise character of the city's inland areas.

The strategy is still a proposal, with councillors set to debate and vote on it in coming weeks.
