Hervey Bay Gossip

New Horizons in Beauty and Wellness Expo and Educational seminar comes to Hervey Bay on Sunday the 21st at Peppers Pier Resort. The expo is aimed at regional salon owners and their staff who don’t have time to visit the large expos held in Brisbane and other capital cities.

Natural Compatibles will be one of 18 stands at the event showcasing their full range of make-up and salon support including the Concept Stand, Wet & Dry Foundation Stand and product stands for Elite Lipstick, Natural Lips, Applishades, Lipseal, Eyeliner, Lipgloss and the Perfect Touch Concealer.

All packages will be on display for salon owners to view as well as all Christmas specials for the up-coming festive season.

Glenda Lee, Business Development Manager for Natural Compatibles will be present at the event and will be doing make-up demonstrations throughout the day showcasing the range of Natural Compatibles products and how to use them to achieve desired results.

Denise Richardson, owner of Natural Compatibles said, “We value the support of these salons and it is important that we have the opportunity to showcase new products, specials and our product range to them in person.”

At some stage back when the Global Financial Crisis was firmly at the forefront of everyone’s mind the Fraser Coast Regional Council issued a glossy brochure full of bright images and wonderful words. A pdf copy of that brochure landed on my desk yesterday.

The brochure was titled “Five Point Response to Financial Crisis” and on the Council website the Fraser Coast Regional Council said this about the brochure:

“The Fraser Coast Regional Council has adopted a five point plan to help minimise the impact of the current global financial crisis on our region.

The plan outlines the Council’s initiatives under the headings:

* Employment security;
* Development activity;
* Injection of funds into the local economy;
* Utilisation of local suppliers in the provision of goods and services; and
* Strong fiscal management.”

Amongst all those fine words in the brochure are a few that I think the Council needs to be reminded of:

“Council must show leadership and instill confidence in the community about the local economy by continuing to invest in tourism, facilitating job creating development, supporting local industry, investigating the provision of incentives for targeted development and encouraging business opportunities that close the service gap to the community.”

So Fraser Coast Regional Council when are we going to see you do more than just utter fine words? When are we going to see you take some action to actually do what you said you would do? When are you going to get with the plan guys?
