No Boundaries Seminar

A workshop about how to claim your working holiday against your tax is being held on Saturday the 12th of July on the Sunshine Coast. The format is very casual. 9:00 am start and finishing about noon. Weather permitting, we will adjourn to a local park for lunch and finish when you are ready. The afternoon is more of a social gathering where we take the opportunity to network, swap yarns and experiences and also to ask any more questions. If you have "business cards" for networking, these are welcome. If you are interested in more information about this seminar, or would like to register your attendance, please email us at No Boundries with the subject heading "Tax Workshop".

A bit about Cooran: Cooran village tucks into the Six Mile Creek valley floor on each side of the creek and the railway line. It has a striking backdrop of highlands and mountains and enjoys views to surrounding farms, grazing lands and the volcanic plugs of Mounts Cooran, Pinbarren and Cooroora. Cooran prides itself on being a small self-contained rural village built on family-oriented values, artistic and cultural pursuits and appreciation of the surrounding natural environment. Residents embrace a wide variety of environmentally friendly initiatives such as recycling, energy efficient buildings and composting toilets.
The traditional built form and character of the village has been retained. New development complements existing streetscapes and create buildings using vernacular forms and materials. The maintenance of a low-key business and community focus meets some of the day-to-day needs of the local residents and provides outlets for local arts and crafts.
The introduction of hotels or other large commercial elements would conflict with the quiet character sought by residents.
