There’s been a few hearts in mouths but hey, what a great result.

WELCOME to the new-look Glasshouse Country and Maleny News.

In its attempt for a favourable ruling through the courts, Coles has now moved to make ‘minor changes’ to its

Coles lodged three development applications (DAs) in 2019 to pave the way for an 11ha centre at the intersection of Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road.

In an affidavit filed earlier this year Coles argued the appeal should be allowed for various reasons including that it was to be built on an “underutilised parcel of land”; the service station and food and drink outlet would support development; there were no other high volume convenience restaurants with a drive-thru near Beerwah on Steve Irwin Way; and the site was well located to provide proposed uses which are regularly

enhance the “sense of place” of Beerwah, by providing a recognisable and readily identified entry to the town from Steve Irwin“TheWay.proposed development would provide for the ‘essentials of life’ for the community, including daily food, household provisions and fuel.”

The DAs were all rejected by the council and in August last year Coles appealed those decisions.

Coles lawyers said these and other changes did not result in a substantially different development, but resulted in a better outcome.

Inclusion of 20kL rainwater tanks at front of supermarket entry;

A number of affidavits were filed in regard to a change in the development application. Last year the council rejected the application based in part on expert advice that a third full-line supermarket would not be needed until 2025 to 2030.

It added: “The proposed development supports the regional service function of Beerwah.”

Supermarket feature entry roof to be split into three canopies and larger structural elements exposed, to reinforce a modern country town aesthetic;

The council argued against the development on a number of points including that it was in significant conflict with the council’s vision for economic development regarding activity centres and industry and enterprise areas; and the proposal would create a new retail centre outside the existing Beerwah major regional activity centre and would fragment and undermine the CBD.

“The proposed development would result in a substantial net community

The council, Department of State Development and the owner of Beerwah Marketplace, Village Fair Investments, are respondents to the appeal.

Whether people knew Elizabeth II personally, revered her as their Queen, or simply followed the media reports for the last 70 years, she was part of our understanding of the world and a constant in our lives.

This represents so clearly her philosophy of service, and a belief in the role of institutions like the WI (and our QCWA) to help keep communities together. On further research I found that the Queen was a member of the Women’s Institute Sandringham Branch for almost eighty years, attended meetings when in that part of the country, and as the current vice-president has said, “She is

The Queen’s sense of duty was aweinspiring, exemplified last week when she carried out the official swearing in of Britain’s new PM, Liz Truss. We know she had been unwell, and in the photo she appears very frail, but she must have been determined to get up, get dressed, and do her duty. Looking elegant, composed and smiling, she welcomed her new Prime Minister. Then, having carried out this important public duty, two days later she wasQueengone.Elizabeth’s sense of humour is well known, and her delightful tea party with Paddington Bear during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations is a moment to treasure.

PERHAPS other readers will be feeling, as I do, that the world has shifted slightly this week… and will never be quite the same again.

“I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we

As children, my sister and I were avid fans of the Royal family, and more particularly of Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.

We were so thrilled; this was the first time a reigning monarch had visited Australia and everyone wanted to see the Queen. My father and uncle had bought a pineapple farm at Beerwah after the Second World War, and the only vehicle they had was a farm truck. So, our family set off to Brisbane in the truck, my parents, aunt and uncle squashed into the front and all the kids in the back. We saw her from two vantage points, and it was without doubt the most exciting thing we had ever done!

Coast Mayor, Mark Jamieson, said: “Her Majesty embodied and exemplified the principles of public service, compassion and care for everyone she met and her enduring sense of purpose in promoting goodwill, respect and tolerance.”

HELPING kids turn climate anxiety into action is the inspiration behind two former Glasshouse students who are going back to school with the aim of ensuring students stay climate positive.

Ariana and the GenZero team are now holding a trivia night to raise funds to help take their program into schools to educate children concerned about climate change better understand how they can be proactive.

Ariana explained. Guests will also hear from expert speakers including Duku Fore, a former refugee and now international speaker who empowers young people to believe in their ability to change the world.

The Queen visited Australia 16 times including the Sunshine Coast in March 2002 as part of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.

And the team did it in style, running out victors by 59 points, 10.7.67 to 1.2.8.

According to council’s Senior Natural Areas Planning Officer Kate Hofmeister, only 10 per cent of breeding males actually swoop at passer byers.

The Lions were ahead by 19 points at halftime and ran away with the victory, including keeping the Roos scoreless in the second stanza.

Where possible, walk in groups – or avoid the area altogether.

“Swooping only begins once the eggs are hatched and ends once the chicks have left the nest, which is about six to eight weeks,” she said.

Ms Hofmeister also empathises the importance of not acting aggressively towards them if they do try to swoop.

“The QCWA owns around 300 halls throughout Queensland, and many of them play central roles in their communities,” Mr Furner said.

Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities Mark Furner said the funding – dedicated over two years – would support the maintenance and improvement of vital community infrastructure.Thefunding was committed in this year’s State Budget as the organisation marks its centenary in 2022.

Wheels to turn on parking woes

A GROUP of Maleny residents, with the firm financial backing of the new owners of the town’s IGA, are formulating a plan to ease Maleny’s traffic and parking woes.

The scale, design and external finish of the proposed cabins are characterised by small separate structures, which will be constructed and finished to complement the rural landscape, allowing the sites to blend in with the natural and surrounding environment, the application stated.

An application by Beerwah Pines Pty Ltd has been lodged with Sunshine Coast Council seeking approval for a small scale rural based short-term accommodation featuring eight cabins and a shop over 17 hectares of land at 1286 Steve Irwin Way, Beerwah.According to the DA lodged with council, the cabins will be spaced for a

Being an avid history fan, she drew her inspiration for the story from a 120-year-old fence post on her property, which used to be owned by Beerwah pioneer John Simpson. She says this old, lumpy, worn-down piece of wood gave her a vision of a man fixing his last few fence posts before a herd of cattle arrived at his farm.

Prior to moving to Beerwah in 1979 Joanna and her husband travelled the world, touring South America and Europe, as well as living in Papa New Guinea and Tasmania for a few years, where they owned a cattle farm.

The 72-year-old is now retired but still has the spirit of an adventurer, enjoying going camping in a tent for weeks, line dancing, bush walking and sailing.

GLASSHOUSE Country Men’s Shed benefited in a big way when the Sunshine Coast Council delivered numerous large logs weighing up to a ton each to the Glasshouse Country Men’s Shed. This came about when shed member Dave Logsdale spoke to council removing trees along Steve Irwin Way and was advised to contact Joe at the local council depot. Joe and Dave then initiated the procurement of a few smaller logs for the shed. Upon

visiting the following day, Joe received an informal tour of the shed by members Sandy Woodside and Rick Canhan. The shed was soon to take delivery of a lookingtheywhich(viamillingpurchasednewlymachineagrant)iswhywereforlogs

logs would be put to good use within the community. Glasshouse Country Men’s Shed is a not-for-profit organisation, with much of the supplies they receive coming from within the local community via donations or purchased with funds from either donations and/or grants, which enables the shed to operate.

LOCAL Glasshouse veteran Rick Canhan travelled from Alice Springs to Darwin in his WW2 Jeep during the “Back To The Track 2021” event in Aug 2021 has travelled West again in May 2022 this time to drive his WW2 Jeep over the Simpson Desert.

World War II jeeps hit Simpson Desert in the trip of a lifetime

COMMUNITY NEWS

All the Jeeps have been meticulously restored by their owners and performed as expected. “I have previously traversed the Simpson Desert in modern 4x4’s and was confident the little wartime Jeeps could handle the trip over the desert,” Rick said. Although the Jeeps were made during a war, they were specifically built to handle difficult types of terrain such a this. The life expectancy of a Jeep in a war zone was ninety days and here they are now, almost eighty years old and still going strong; a tribute to the design, construction and durability of these versatile vehicles. Rick explained

his Jeep was transported to Birdsville on a trailer prior to heading into the desert.

Chris (mainCanhanandNicolasDewar,GrayRickimage)

“Each Jeep was fully fuelled and carried eight jerrycans of extra fuel plus forty litres of water and sufficient supplies for an estimated twelve-day travel. There were two support vehicles on hand for safety reasons, but the concept was for the Jeeps to be totally self-sufficient and handled the trip with ease.” Any breakdowns, (and there were a couple) were fixed practically on the spot or in one of the night locations, he added. Once the group reached the western side of the Simpson Desert it was time to start the trip back home.

Rick stated that a trip over the Simpson Desert is an experience to remember, and believes everyone should at least do it once in their lives. “The tranquilly of the beautiful and endless starry night skies are just unbelievable” he said. “Add to that, the sunrises and sunsets and you have the recipe for a memorable trip.”

“I think as people talk more about how to make do as costs of things rise, this is the sort of thing that helps address the issue.”Thecouple grow vegetables all year round save for a period during the top of summer when it gets too hot, during which time they allow the soil to regain nutrients.Petersaid he loved cooking as well, with spicy food (he cooks a mean curry), pea and ham soup as well as homemade applie pie (including homemade pastry) among his favourites.

“It’s so rewarding, it’s good psychologically and it helps that I know exactly what goes into the garden,” he said.“We don’t buy vegetables any more.

It’s actually quite surprising how many people in Australia are over the age of 100 years old. Records have shown that during the 1980s there were approximately 500 centenarians in Australia. Forty years later, in 2022, there’s about 6000 people 100+ years old, and this figure is estimated to increase to

“I love the community atmosphere here, the activities and the friendships I have made over the years, but sadly, most of them have passed away,” Gwen said.

Finally, we asked Gwen what wisdom she could impart to today’s youth. Without too much thought and with strong conviction, Gwen replied, “Show respect to yourself and everyone, and always help someone if they need help.”

The developers of Sandstone Point Hotel and Eatons Hill Hotel, said it would be the coast’s largest live music venue and hotel with capacity for 2500 patrons.

Gwen has obviously seen a lot of changes and advancements in the world during the past 110 years. Of all the inventions during the past century, Gwen says that cars, planes, phones, television and man landing on the moon are the most impressive achievements in her lifetime.

This means their numbers in parks and reserves near the coastline may grow, and it’ll get nosier as the young get older and call for their mums. Rest assured, this won’t last forever.

THE vibrant 45-year-old Playhouse in the Maleny Showgrounds is buzzing with the success of the recent production ‘A Date With Dylan Thomas’, which marked up unprecedented presales for three sell-out performances.

The dual package about the celebrated Welsh poet attracted a host of his fans from the community and 12 talented locals, who shared 40 bizarre comedy characters from Under Milkwood and Dylan Thomas’s 180 BBC broadcasts –his major means of living, apart from sponging outrageously off friends and family.Barbara

A big thank you to the under 16’s Beerwah Bulldogs Club. They moved furniture for me when I was getting my house back in order after a burst water pipe.

Such a pity that the Lismore residents rejected the possibility of having their rubbish incinerated. Had they seen the video of “Singapore Trash Disposal”, their fears could have been allayed. Switzerland has been doing the same for more than 50 years. This method helps towards heating, power and eliminates rubbish being dumped, especially in the sea/waterways. With technology, that is always evolving, there is practically no toxic emissions. I suggest this video be used as a positive case for consideration. If two small countries can do it, why not us?

It’s been noted that the average committee takes three months to say “no”. If you are in a committee or team - at work, community group, politics or even your family, you will get more success if you start to build a “yes” culture. Open up your organisation. Take risks. People will come alive and surprise you with their creativity

when the management wants to empower rather than control. Train others to do the exciting jobs rather than just the ones you don’t want to do. Celebrate people, allow flow, think in terms of abundance rather than poverty, love not fear. Be transparent. Imagine a society where its parts run freely with creativity rather than control. If you really want to push your team, I’d suggest Fredric Laloux’s book, ‘Reinventing Organisations’.

Keep riding, Max

I refer to Graeme Tosh’s article “staying informed is the Key” in GC&M News 16

I too am becoming increasingly tired of reading articles sent in to GC&M News and other media outlets each week, by people I call “Arm Chair experts”, (one of whom is Tim Flannery), pushing their views on the general public with all this climate change garbage, and the effects of CO2 on our allegedly dying planet, so I pose the following question;

Many people living with dementia can continue to live well after their diagnosis, but often feel isolated because of the stigma and discrimination associated with dementia. That’s why the theme for Dementia Action Week 2022, 19 – 25 September, is ‘A little support makes a big difference’.

Apart from the money, there is the wellbeing of Maleny residents to consider. An open pool would help us stay fitter and save us the personal cost and time of travelling

I am angry that the pool can not be well utilised for the sake of a small amount of money compared to the contemplated new indoor pool. This problem has existed for three years so why doesn’t the council move on this, instead of expecting a club to find a way of coping? Winston and council must do better!

sustainabilityDemiurges, and poor schools

In his letter of the same issue, John Quinn argued that state funding should be provided to poorer private schools. Yet the state commits funding to an education system that is supposed to be free, secular and compulsory. To assist any non state school is thus a violation of these principles; a misuse of funds in my view. So, John’s argument is one of degree, not principle. Thanks to both gentlemen for their candid comments.

So, the notion of sustainability is untenable. The second law of thermodynamics states that there is always a movement towards decreasing entropy. Things corrode, break down, and we all die. “Sustainable” is one of those soft nouns, which, when examined, collapses into nothingness.

A wonderful lot of lads.

Creativity, not control

Why does the council fail Maleny so badly with the swimming pool? A new pool would cost $8 million minimum, according to our Councillor, Winston. At an interest rate of only 2 per cent, the cost of capital is $180,000 each year. A new pool would come with large running costs too. If we haven’t go the population to justify a new indoor pool, surely we can justify, say, $100,000 per year on a salaried position to provide us with a pool manager? It’s a minimal amount compared to running a new pool. It would be worth it even if this person sat on their thumbs for half the year!

Thankyou Ian Hall for your references to me in your letter of 30 August. Sadly, I see no merit in your argument(s).

It’s not the same for someone who drives down Coonowrin Road regularly. It will never be the same, not to see Max and his horses there.Best wishes to you Max.

DesleyBeerwahHardy

If the public were aware that man-made CO2 is so incredibly small that it’s almost impossible to accurately measure, there would be very little belief in a climate disaster. Furthermore, governments and green groups would not be able to justify a carbon tax that will greatly raise the cost of everything, and major international banks and the stock market would not make massive profits out of carbon trading

I think Darwin’s statement is misunderstood too. There are plenty of “transitional” living species around us. As we live in Australia, I name the monotremes. Two egg-laying mammals on our continent are the echidna and the platypus.

If you were to go out in the street and ask Mr or Mrs Average this question, most would say that to some degree, they think it probably is, and why would they say that? Because they have been grossly misled by the media and self- interest clowns like Tim Flannery, to think there are tens of thousands more particles of CO2 in the atmosphere than what there really are.

Dementia support

The number of Australians living with dementia is close to half a million – a number that is set to double in the next 25 years. There are also an estimated 1.6 million people involved in their care.

One of the tenets of science is that a severe economy of explanation is needed when describing and analysing natural phenomena. Ockham’s razor states, Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem, which means, “Entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity.” In other words, do not describe a thing in more parts than there are constituent parts of the thing. The addition of some kind of master planner or demiurge to the explanations of astronomy and astrophysics does nothing to the efficacy of the physics, and detracts from it.

CO2 is no pollutant

Andrew McLeanMaleny

The correct answer is: CO2 is a harmless, nothing more than a trace element. It is as necessary for life as oxygen and nitrogen are. It is in no way a pollutant.

This year, we encourage communities to come together and learn more about how they can support people living with dementia. By everyone having a better understanding of dementia and seeing that a purposeful life can continue after diagnosis, we will eliminate discrimination and its Thereimpacts.areseven small but practical ways you can make a difference in your community.

AN EXHIBITION reflecting a painter’s life growing up influenced by the gift of the Australian landscape is showing at Mitchell Fine Art in Fortitude Valley from September 6.

With last week’s uncertainty out of the way, this is a much easier week to navigate. Aside from some confusion caused by Mercury’s mischief, you glide through the next few days with barely a glitch, and with generous planets hopefully bringing extra cash. Just don’t spend it all on luxuries - you do need to eat.

Mercury turns retrograde in your sector of house and home. Papers go missing, files are lost, electronics break down. Don’t worry. Delay unnecessary meetings, don’t put your house on the market and try not to travel. You can, however, trash whatever seems outmoded or unproductive. And it wouldn’t hurt to pay extra attention to your health.

Your outlook on life undergoes a major revision right now, particularly as a pensive Mercury has you reassessing relationships. If you no longer share the same values, start finding new friends that truly understand you. Indeed, expect associates to come and go for a while. Life may be unsteady, but you will also feel a sense of relief.

CAPRICORN

MARCH 21 – APRIL 20

In Northern NSW, west of the Divide, it used to be brigalow scrub, growing on what turned out to be the richest soil in the country - not a coincidence as it happens - but the scrub’s almost all gone, and the job of protecting what’s left falls to environmental officers. Late one afternoon in 2014, out near Croppa Creek, things came to a head. An 80 year old farmer, Ian Turnbull, took out a gun and shot Glen Turner, an environmental officer, in the back. He stood over the wounded man until he was dead, despite the pleas of his companion.

Job satisfaction can be elusive, especially when you’re worried about what next week will bring. It’s not a time for drastic changes, Aquarius. There will always be bills to meet and payments to be made. You can, however, plan for the future. Why not consider retraining, perhaps online study? Current hardships eventually will become future triumphs.

Outspoken with Kate Holden

Maleny-based artist Peter Hudson’s exhibition is a homage to whomever your creator may be, an appreciative recognition of what we have and all that we should be grateful for. Peter Hudson is a landscape and portrait painter who lives and works in Maleny. Peter draws largely on contemporary Australian history for inspiration in his art making. Regular painting trips and sketching ‘en-plein air’ form an integral part of his art-making process in capturing the spirit or essence of the “Thelandscape.landscape

Peter said. “Everything is in the right place at the right time. This is a gift for the landscape artist, as all the usual problems and decisions concerning design, tone, colour, what to include, what to leave out etc. have been taken care of.” Peter has been particularly influenced by a keen interest in Aboriginal Australia post colonisation. His paintings and drawings have a deep connection to country and the natural world. Peter Hudson is represented in collections including the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Parliament House in Brisbane, and the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. The exhibition is showing from September 6-24 at Mitchell Fine Art in Arthur Street, Fortitude Valley Brisbane.

Holden says she’s not a journalist, but the book won a Walkley Award. She says she’s not a historian, but the book won the NSW Premiers non-fiction award 2022 and is short-listed for the Regional History award. This is an important book, written by one of our finest writers.

Mercury’s back-pedalling could mean your finances are pushed to the extreme, but don’t fret. In recent times, you’ve doled out much monetary kindness and now is the time to call some of those favours in. If you can’t guilt-trip people into submission, you can at least ensure they’ll think twice before asking for your help again.

Kate Holden is the author of two bestselling memoirs, In My Skin and The Romantic. Our introducing author will be Katie McMahon, speaking about her second novel, The Accident. This time Katie reveals the inner lives of Grace, Zoe and Imogen, whose worlds are linked through shared but not always obvious connections. The Accident explores the ways in which our formative years shape our future, examining the influence of unrequited love and the healing power of friendship.

Mercury continues to take the wire cutters to all lines of communication, so forget any presumptuous ideas you had of a flourishing rapport. Nobody’s talking - at least, not in the way you’d like. Brace yourself for another week of detoured payments, dysfunctional diallers and ambiguous agreements.

With your ruling planet, Mercury, at a standstill, projects may be hampered. Someone’s timing is off; or you feel that others are stifling your freedom or deliberately delaying your progress. Nonetheless, you can still maintain focus. For now, short-term projects are more likely to attract. If anything drags on too long, expect frustration.

PISCES

As one particular phase of your life comes to an end, you trade what’s worn-out for something a little different. Be ready to detach from whatever no longer suits you. Romantically, you’re ready for some friendly banter. Financially, you’re not. While the wolf isn’t, as yet, at the door, the bills soon will beso budget accordingly.

AQUARIUS

Understandably, Taureans feel entitled to grumble when a delayed Mercury stalls your life. This could be a week of miscommunications - mail doesn’t arrive, phone calls aren’t returned, emails get lost or messages are misinterpreted. However, if you approach this time with patience and awareness, it becomes less bothersome. Stay adaptable.

This week’s message is to take a step back to acknowledge your innermost feelings. Preoccupied with many of today’s distractions, we often lose ourselves for long periods at a time. Agitation can follow. To avoid feeling pressured or stressed, you must learn to trust your innate intuition. Calmness and true selfreflection is required.

ARIES

No prizes for discovering that you don’t think or feel the same way others do. Most are used to this, so they should know better than to force your hand. Especially now, when despite a back-sliding Mercury, you’re more inspired than ever. It’s a good thing your energy levels are in for a topup this week. Go on, Aries - live the dream.

‘A remarkable life of service’

I pay my respects to her family and send my sincere condolences to all that grieve her loss. I encourage all Australians to leave an online condolence message – these messages will be collated and sent to Buckingham Palace

It was with immense sadness that we woke to the news of her passing on Friday morning (Australian time).

The Queen demonstrated great determination and strength through difficult times – both personally and in her capacity as Monarch.

I know all Queenslanders will join me in extending our sincerest condolences to the Royal Family at this time.

In June 1953, she was officially crowned Queen of England. During her reign, she was Australia’s head of State during the service of 16 Australian Prime Ministers and 16 Governors-General of Australia.

There are different challenges for young people today than there was in my day and so that means looking at some different solutions.

We’re supporting IFYS to get back out into the Beerwah Community.Aspartofthis they will be holding stalls and events to directly connect with young people at the Beerwah Sportsground.I’mpersonally noticing more inclusive and understanding spaces where kids can begin to form trust and confidence with one another and with adults.

My electorate office will also have a condolence book and a limited number of Official Portraits of Her Majesty forTheconstituents.RoyalFamily have noted that instead of leaving floral tributes, Australians may wish to consider donating to a charity of their choice. A fitting tribute, as she was the patron of more than 20 Australian charities and associations. The Queen will be sadly missed by Australians and millions of people across the world.

Residents might have noticed resurfacing works have started at Gumland Drive, Koala Court and Parkland Court in Witta.

This project forms part of Council’s $22.5 million Road Reseal and Rehabilitation Program for this financial year. As part of representing Division 5 it’s my commitment to providing and maintaining the necessary infrastructure to service the needs of our community.

Her shining light set the example not just for the Commonwealth, but the world.

Her Majesty visited here often and displayed her care and concern for the people of this state, especially during times of natural disasters.

We’ll also be at the upcoming Beerwah Heart Community Day for Mental Health Week on October 15 - a free event supported by IFYS, Beerwah High, QCWA, and the Caloundra Community Centre. I hope to see you there.And lastly, as I write this, I am deeply saddened to hear in the early hours of this morning of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen visited Australia 16 times including opening Parliament House in 1988 and a visit to the Sunshine Coast in March 2002 as part of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.

This week I headed up North to Yarraba, Mount Isa, and Palm Island with my fellow Legal Affairs and Safety Committee Members to consult with regional and remote communities about Blue Cards.

Council is trying to find out what our community knows about flying foxes, as we review our Sunshine Coast Regional Flying Fox Management Plan. Have your say before September 18 at haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Discrimination occurred during pregnancy, while women were on parental leave and when they tried to re-enter the workforce. And it affected women regardless of their length of service, seniority, employment status (casual, part time or full time) or industry.

WAITING to be in the right frame of mind before embarking on a weight loss journey might be a thing of the past.

• A pregnant woman who provided

Developed by CSIRO behavioural scientists, the mindset survey taps the outlook of people contemplating a weight control program, asking about motivation and where people are at with healthy eating, being more active and managing theirCSIROweight.Research Scientist, Dr Emily Brindal said while Australians appreciate the value of a healthy and happy lifestyle, the act of changing eating and activity habits is hard, and long-term weight management is an ongoing challenge.

• A new mum sacked several months into her 12 months unpaid parental leave.

“It is concerning that many case studies featured women who chose to ‘live with’ the detrimental treatment or resigned without making a complaint. “More information is needed both for women, so they know their rights and entitlements, and for employers, who may want to do the right thing but are confused about their obligations under the law,” she said.

Mindset doesn’t help weight loss

The study indicates that the strongest predictor of achieving clinically significant weight loss was engagement with the right digital support tools, rather than being in the right mindset when starting a diet.

Pregnant women face discrimination

“The investment will help QAS prioritise regional and rural services to ensure accessible healthcare no matter the location, as we recruit more frontline staff and open new facilities,” she said.

Minister D’Ath said the budget included $1.1 billion for the Queensland Ambulance Service, and a focus on improving mental health and wellbeing.

The findings come from a recent analysis of 11,000 Australians that responded to a mindset survey before completing the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet 12-week weight loss program.

For the Sunshine Coast Health and Hospital Service, this includes additional emergency department capacity, including a new rapid access clinic to reduce hospital demand pressures, and the Nambour Hospital redevelopment, an $86.2 million project that will deliver 118 extraMinisterbeds.for Health and Ambulance Services Yvette D’Ath said the State Budget would support strong growth

A new study by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has found that initial mindset was not the best predictor for weight loss success.

A pilot study by the Monash Business School analysed data from calls to the JobWatch helpline and found pregnant women faced a wide range of discrimination detrimental to their job.

• A woman with a high-risk pregnancy whose employer tried to force her to do tasks her doctor said were unsafe because the boss dismissed the advice.

PREGNANT women continue to be sacked, demoted and discriminated against in the workplace despite laws designed to protect them, Monash University research shows.

“These results show that mindset changes throughout a weight loss journey. Motivation increases with success, and this can have a positive effect on mindset, so how you feel when you begin a weight loss journey is not necessarily going to determine your overall success,” Dr Brindal said.

THE 2022-23 State Budget delivers record funding for Queensland’s health and hospital system, including $1.944 billion for the Sunshine Coast region, to ensure better, quicker healthcare for all Queenslanders.Acrossthestate, the record $22.6 billion Health Budget includes investment in new infrastructure and more beds; a larger workforce; a focus on mental health; and innovative reforms to Queensland’s health system.

The mindset survey looked at motivation levels around healthy eating and being more active. The analysis found that those with the lowest levels of motivation lost the most weight.

It’s also important to remember that property is a long game. The first property I bought was an inner-city terrace for $96,000. That amount of money seemed like the earth to me at that stage, but over time it always looks cheap. You’ll look back on your purchase today and think the same way.

After that, focus on the bones of the property: Ceiling height, views, the floorplan and any common areas of apartment buildings. Don’t ever buy without getting builder, pest and strata reports.

Letter from John mcGrath

Coast & Hinterland

If you are a current or future landlord wanting to ensure your property is compliant and your Property Manager is offering you trusted advice and service, please contact Rebecca Hill – New Client Consultant who is always at your service to answer any questions you may have.

If you can afford to buy a house in a good location, do that. History shows that houses will always outpace apartments when it comes to capital gains. But if you don’t have the budget for a house – or one in a good location – then buy the best apartment you can afford.

With interest rates now rising, your mortgage repayments will be more expensive than last year. But over the life of a 25 or 30-year home loan, you’ll pay low rates for periods and high rates for periods depending on the health of the broader economy. So, it’s normal. The long-term average loan rate in Australia is above 7% and even after recent increases, we’re still well below that now at 3% to 4%.

The most important thing to do is buy in the best location you can afford. You can always change what’s on the site, but you can never change the size, location, or aspect so always prioritise these Theelements.aspect is critical. No amount of impressive decor matches the feeling you get from a property that is bathed in sunlight. The ideal situation is a north or north-east aspect to the rear of the property if it’s a house, or to the main living areas of an apartment.

With new legislation rolling out on 1st October 2022, it is imperative that our Property Managers remain up to date with legislation. This ensures we maintain and continue to provide a six-star service to all our landlords, tenants, and new clients.

About one in five are getting help from the Bank of Mum and Dad. More than 65% are using various forms of government assistance, such as a First Home Owners Grant or a stamp duty exemption.

I wish all young first home buyers out in the market this Spring the best of luck.

Tips for first home buyers this Spring

Recent data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows almost seven out of 10 first home buyers are purchasing with a partner or spouse.

Recently, our team of Property Managers from the McGrath Beerwah office attended a training seminar hosted by Real Estate ExcellenceStacey Holt.

With the traditionally busy Spring selling season commencing this month, my key piece of advice for all buyers, particularly young first home buyers, is to take advantage of today’s changing market. Don’t delay your purchase because you think the market has further to fall. We won’t know we’re past the bottom until we are, and then you’ll be competing with a surge of returning buyers.

During Spring, we typically see more properties come onto the market, so you’ll have more choice. Plus, softer prices pretty much around the country now will help many people buy this Spring.

For first home buyers, this Spring is a great time to buy. You won’t feel as much pressure in this changing market, you’ll have more properties to choose from and you’ll likely pay less than last year.

With another RBA rise to the cash rate of 0.5% in the past week, there’s no denying the recent interest rate rises will have an impact on buyers’ lending capacity. Colin Mason of Mason Finance Group says that borrowing capacity has been reduced, on average, by approximately $135,000 since interest rates began to climb six months ago. However, Mason Finance group recorded aboveaverage loan applications for August, which is reflective of the fact that comparatively speaking, interest rates are still low.
