Billionaire Graham Tuckwell buys record Hyams Beach home

The residents of idyllic Hyams Beach, the NSW South Coast town, are unhappy with the torrent of summer tourists drawn to their picturesque beach.
"We need to close the village when the village is full," Lois Sparkles, a committee member of the Hyams Beach Villagers Association told Fairfax Media.
<div>
"We need a system to limit the number of cars coming in," she says.
Tourism and infrastructure spending has helped make Hyams Beach one of the hot spots of the NSW tourism industry, if international tourists can't get to Whitehaven in Queensland.
Recently it was declared Hyams didn't have the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/wa/79092-our-whitest-sandy-beach-why-this-beach-in-wa-claims" target="_blank">whitest sand in the country,</a> it was likely a beach in WA.
</div>
<div>
A NSW tourist campaign has promoted the beach on the back of Sydney buses while false claims spread on the internet suggest that Guiness World Records had declared it the whitest beach in the world.
The permanent population of 112 jumps to 4000 people some summer evenings, and the streets become overwhelmed with traffic, according to residents.
This Australia Day weekend could be its busiest ever.
The lobby group got <a href="http://www.southcoastregister.com.au/story/5153312/popularity-of-hyams-beach-hideous-for-residents/" target="_blank">local Fairfax Media coverage</a> in the South Coast Register, with four articles early in the new year including <a href="http://www.southcoastregister.com.au/story/5159181/hyams-beach-traffic-debate/" target="_blank">pictures of the traffic</a> after rangers were forced to turn visitors away, some of whom had travelled three hours for a Hyams Beach experience. 
Then the issues appeared on the Domain website, without reference to Fairfax's South Coast Register, and has since escalated nationally after the CommBank chairperson Catherine Livingstone and her husband, Michael Satterthwaite were smartly spotted amid a nondescript photo of the annoyed activists by the Australian Financial Review's<a href="http://www.afr.com/brand/rear-window/livingstone-maybe-and-choueifate-try-new-roles-20180115-h0inwy" target="_blank"> Rear Window column</a>.

"She's here quite a bit," said Morgan Sant, the president of the villagers association advised. "Like everybody else she wants to enjoy the ambience that Hyams Beach has most the year all year around."
They paid $940,000 in 2002, securing a $200,000 renovation approval in 2005.
It had previously been a rental known as Watermark.
</div>
<div>
Amanda Findley, the local mayor, said the Shoalhaven City Council hopes to find a solution by Easter.
Mayor Findley recommended Callala Beach and Bay, which has the same white sand, and peaceful bay without the congestion, with plenty of parking spaces.
Ms Livingstone suggests a shuttle from a carpark outside the village, which is hemmed in by pristine bushland.

Mayhem at Hyams with CommBank's Catherine Livingstone turning activist

Buyers are slowly getting back in to the holiday home market after it took a dive post GFC when no one wanted their own holiday home.
Discretionary spending was tight following the global financial crisis and people weren't spending money on holidays.
That was difficult for the many who relied on holiday rental income to keep the escape home.  
Last year it was tipped that the 2016 holiday market will be busy due to the extra wealth that homeowners in Sydney and Melbourne have acquired over the past two years through the housing boom.
A popular haunt for Sydney siders who don't head north for the summer is Hyams Beach, one of the south coasts biggest draw cards.

Cyrus Street home fetches Hyams Beach record

<html><body>
The former chief of Luxperience and TravelCorp founder Helen Logas is selling Sea Deck, her redundant Hyam's Beach house, having upgraded early last year.
The four bedroom, 2005 built home on the Cyrus Street dress circle had been acting as an $8,000 a week holiday rental in peak season.
Logas had paid $1,051,000 in 2008.
South Coast Properties agent Craig McIntosh is asking $2.99 million.
Logas paid $2.84 million for an absolute beachfront home on the opposite side of the street last year. 
The travel industry entrepreneur sold TravelCorp to Brisbane-based travel giant Corporate Travel Management in 2010, following a recorded revenue of $65 million.
She founded Luxperience in 2012, a high end travel company which builds business relationships between the world's most inspiring providers of luxury travel.
