Melbourne Star Observation Wheel's future finally revealed
A press release issued on Monday said the revived wheel will be managed by a new partnership between MB Star Properties Pty Ltd, the owner of the 120-metre-tall wheel, and amusement companies The Robu Group, Ray Cammack Shows, and Melbourne-based family business Skyline Attractions.
Skyline Attractions, which owns and operates other wheels across Australia, will be responsible for managing the Melbourne Star.
Details of the plan will be detailed in a press conference with the owners and Lord Mayor Nick Reece this morning.
Skyline Attractions Business Manager Jane Jones said after being dormant for four years it would be a 'tremendous honour and labour of love' to bring it back to life.
'We are committed to creating something truly exceptional, something all Melburnians can feel proud of,' she said.
Reece said the council had been working behind the scenes to secure the attraction's future.
'I'm stoked we can now celebrate openly with the rest of the city, and I can't wait for the maiden voyage.'

Jimmy Recard comes out on top after tough battle in Group 3 Vain Stakes at Caulfield
'J.R., Jimmy Recard. Raise your glass for the king of the bar.' Art again proved prophetic after Jimmy Recard 's latest win in Saturday's Group 3 Vain Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield. Jimmy Recard, named after a 2008 song by Perth hip hop artist Drapht, gave his large band of owners a third opportunity to celebrate a win when he denied Tycoon Star in a physical finish to the Vain Stakes. Tycoon Star looked set to post a first-up win when he got into the clear early in the straight but laid in over the last 200m while Jamie Melham drove Jimmy Recard along the inside section of the track. Tycoon Star bumped Jimmy Recard but the Ciaron Maher -trained colt had a half-head to spare on the line, posting his third win in four starts. 'I just think he's improving every time he runs,' Maher said of the Bennett Racing-syndicated three-year-old. 'We had notions of taking him for a stakes race in Adelaide but we thought we'd reset for the spring. 'He's certainly started the spring the right way.' JIMMY RECARD! What a battle down the straight in the Vain Stakes! The colts were all over the place but its Jimmy who prevailed â� @jamieleemelham @cmaherracing @RacingBennett â€' 7HorseRacing ðŸ�Ž (@7horseracing) August 16, 2025 Maher combined with Bennett Racing to race Southport Tycoon, who won two Group 1 races before heading to stand at Widden Stud. Maher hoped Jimmy Recard could improve sufficiently to follow Southport Tycoon to stud. 'I was at the stallion parades for Southport Tycoon yesterday when Widden were introducing him. Hopefully this can be the next one,' Maher said. 'He's certainly a very well-bred colt and he's a great type. 'He's got a bright future.' Tycoon Star's jockey Mark Zahra said the Lindsay Park-trained colt had his opportunity to win at his first start since the Group 1 Golden Slipper. 'He was going to win but he was first-up and the winner's come along the fence where nothing has come all day,' Zahra said. 'He was strong enough to the line but I think he had his chance, he's still green though.' â– â– â– â– â– 'Angry' mare makes trainers happy with Regal Roller success Pop Award completed her reformation from problem child to black-type performer when she prevailed in Saturday's Listed Regal Roller Stakes at Caulfield. Co-trainer Lyn Tolson described Pop Award as 'an angry horse' when she first arrived at the stable she shares with daughter Leonie Proctor after proving too much of a handful for a couple of horse breakers. 'She could strike at you and go at you better than any stallion,' Tolson said of Pop Award earlier in the week. POP AWARD ðŸ'¥ Five on the trot, from maiden grade to a Group 3! What a story for the Tolson/Proctor/Cartwright clan ðŸ'– â€' 7HorseRacing ðŸ�Ž (@7horseracing) August 16, 2025 However, Pop Award had proven herself to punters with four straight wins before she stepped up Listed level for the first time in the Regal Roller Stakes. Last year's winner Arkansaw Kid ($3.10 fav) looked set to sweep past Pop Award ($5) halfway down the straight but the mare's fitness advantage and 6kg weight pull helped her hold a length on her rival on the line. Tolson said winning the Regal Roller Stakes was a great birthday present for her grandson, Proctor's son Matthew Cartwright. 'We rolled the dice today and we thought, 'oh god, are we going a little bit too high?' as this is only her seventh run,' she said. 'We thought that it was only going to get harder and if we throw her in the deep end now, we could always come back (in class) if we have to. 'She definitely stood up.' The Grahame Begg-trained Royal Insignia ($7.50) also made an encouraging start to his spring campaign with his solid third with jockey Jordan Childs in the saddle.

Undervalued Melbourne suburbs set for major property boom
Melbourne is 'tremendously undervalued' and overdue for a boom, with new research showing which suburbs could be set for some of the biggest jumps. Experts are tipping this year's third Reserve Bank rate cut could finally be the one to turn the city's housing fortunes around, and areas like St Kilda East, Noble Park and Doreen are poised to get the best boost. The analysis from SuburbData tracked demand-to-supply ratios, price gaps with neighbouring suburbs, as well as the difference between house and unit prices to pinpoint postcodes primed for the next growth spurt. St Kilda East leads the pack, with typical house values a staggering $348,000 cheaper than nearby bayside postcodes. Noble Park and Doreen are also trading at steep discounts compared to their neighbours, despite strong transport, shopping and schooling options. SuburbData director Jeremy Sheppard said knowing where value lay in Melbourne's market was critical. 'Melbourne is tremendously undervalued … homes have become such an enormous investment … families need to be cannier about where they buy,' Mr Sheppard said. He added that undervalued suburbs were often those priced below neighbouring areas without clear geographic disadvantages, where growth had been lacklustre while nearby markets surged, and where buyer demand was now starting to outweigh supply. 'When buyers find better value for money in a market, that's when you get a feeding frenzy,' Mr Sheppard said. 'It may take a while till you get any growth on your investment in an overvalued suburb … buying at the peak of a fast moving market could even mean, in extreme cases, that prices soon fall.' Prominent Bayside real estate director Gary Peer said the median price in St Kilda East was 'heavily influenced by apartment sales'. 'St Kilda East is absolutely prolific when it comes to apartments, historically it's been a hotspot for investors,' Mr Peer said. 'But over the past few years, many investors have exited the market for a variety of reasons. 'The rapid rise in interest rates was a big one — though we're now starting to get some relief. Land tax has also bitten hard.' The Gary Peer Real Estate boss said the result of that investor exodus has been a shift in the buyer pool, and coupled with high numbers of sales it had led to softer price growth in the suburb. 'Compared to five years ago, prices in St Kilda East haven't climbed the way we might have expected,' Mr Peer said 'In some cases they've stayed flat or even gone backwards — and that's rare in Melbourne.' He noted that the suburb was still a 'premier address' and 'as affordable as St Kilda East is likely to be for years'. Whitefox chief executive and The Block judge Marty Fox said the relative affordability, especially the six-figure gap between St Kilda East and neighbouring areas, wouldn't last long. 'Historically, these kinds of disparities don't survive long once buyers start connecting the dots on lifestyle, transport, and amenity,' Mr Fox said. 'Once demand tips, you can see 10-15 per cent lifts inside a year, especially if there's a catalyst like infrastructure upgrades, a rate cut, or just the media finally catching on.' Melbourne's fundamentals are also likely to help drive prices up in undervalued areas. 'You've got population growth back at pace, rental supply at record lows, and construction costs pushing replacement values higher,' Mr Fox said. 'The gap between what buyers think property is worth and what it should be worth is the widest I've seen in years, and that's an opportunity for those who aren't scared to act before the crowd catches on.' Tuesday's interest rate cut, while important, was not the only factor in a boost to home values. 'Cheaper money acts like lighter fluid on buyer intent, but the spark will be confidence,' Mr Fox said. Areas where home values are significantly cheaper than neighbouring suburbs St Kilda East $1.2m – $348,000 cheaper Box Hill North $1.4m – $135,000 cheaper Doreen $788,000 – $49,000 cheaper Noble Park $794,000 – $42,000 cheaper Kings Park $682,000 – $39,000 cheaper St Albans $721,000 – $34,000 cheaper Deer Park $653,000 – $35,000 cheaper Officer $756,000 – $32,000 cheaper Westmeadows $765,000 – $6000 cheaper Mickleham $714,000 – $2000 cheaper

Well & Good: Woolies deal makes dad ‘a legend' at 50
A man who launched a new business at 50, which is now stocked in Woolworths stores across the country, is living proof it's never too late to follow your dreams, says his daughter. Sam Barak started allergen-free food company Well & Good in his garage in Melbourne back in 2005 after discovering a family friend's child had been diagnosed with coeliac disease and had very limited food options. Approximately 1 in 70 Australians are estimated to have coeliac disease. Today the condition appears to be more common, though it's likely that is due to a combination of increased awareness and better diagnostic testing. Mr Barak it seems was ahead of the game, forging a food brand that created products for those who unable to eat everyday ingredients because of allergies and special dietary needs. 'He turned our family garage into a test lab kitchen, he put a sink in and some plumbing. He was a food developer and had worked in the industry a long time,' his daughter Shila, who is the brand's business development manager, told 'All the stars aligned.' The then 50-year-old dad started the gluten free business, and was 'made fun of' by his children for the idea. But, in the last 20 years, all three have been employed by the booming business as it catering for those with allergies soared in demand. The business employs 30 staff, has its own manufacturing bakery in Bayside and has been available in supermarkets such as Woolworths since just before Covid. Landing the huge supermarket deal has opened a whole new door for the business and allowed more people to access its product range. Kati Keksi, who runs Your Gluten Free Guide, regularly shares news of new gluten free products in Australian supermarkets. She's recently shared the fact that Woolworths now stocks Well & Good's Rustic Ciabatta, Soft White Roll and Pizza Flour Mix. Social media users were quick to share an outpouring of love for the brand. 'Pizza mix is fantastic. And I've used the bread mix for pizza too,' one said. One added: 'The lemon coconut cake is delicious!!' 'I have got the pizza mix at my local Woolies the last two weeks. I forgot I brought it last week to try it and brought it again this week. Well I guess I am well stocked for a while,' one shared. One said: 'Yeah hotdog buns or just long buns would be great.' 'We regularly order this brand online. They are quick and reasonably priced if you buy in bulk,' one said. One commented: 'What in the world is going on New items coming left and right Love it! and freeze.' 'I just talked to my family about what am I going to do when I have soup and I want bread to dip … I made soup yesterday and I now see this HAHAHA happy for the gf community, not happy this drop wasn't released sooner,' one said. It's hard to make a name for yourself in the food industry — let alone in a space as small as the allergen market. Shila said this is partially because of her father's tenacity and hard working nature. 'He does 18 hour days sometimes. He's an intense, committed, hardworking human being,' Shila said. 'We all work together well in our team.' Another reason is the fact the business has been 'really reliable' and manufacture its own products — something Shila said is a 'big difference' in comparison to other retailers. It also does food service 'quite well'. 'We've been successful because we've been consistent, we've always worked on improving our products and listening to our consumers. We're very emotive. We really put the consumer first,' she said. 'Not everyone's going to love our products, and we don't always get it right, but we always try to make amends if we don't.' Mr Barak is turning 70 this year, and his daughter said the 'legend' is living proof that it is never too late to chase your dreams. Looking ahead, Shila said she'd really love to see Well & Good do more in retail, such as offering more 'finished product'. Currently the brand's Lemon Coconut Cake Mix is one of its most popular items. 'It's not new to us but it's a flavour we kind of got to market first, and there wasn't a lot of that flavour around,' she said. 'And now I'm started to see that absolutely everywhere.' She said its plain, self raising flour is hands down its most purchased product, saying it was formulated in a particular way so it was very close to the original. Shila was tight lipped on any new products that the business was working on, but said the aim was to help everyone access a wide range of food. Shila said the market for gluten free products is growing incrementally, as more people are diagnosed with coeliac disease, but also people who just want to expand their food options. Well & Good will be featured at the Gluten Free Expo in Sydney on August 16 and 17 at Randwick Racecourse. Shila revealed the expo was set to be buzzing with a lot of exhibitors. She revealed Well & Good would be sampling its new pizza bread and essentially its whole cake range.
