ay what you will about Mark Jamieson, but our mayor is very accessible. He has always been happy to chat to My Weekly Preview, and this week we caught up with him to find out how the first six months (yep, he has been in the Sunshine Coast’s top job almost half a year now) have gone. Turn over to find out more about his vision for business and individuals on the Coast, and how far he has come in achieving his goals. Still on the council, our property cover story this week also concerns the local government. We didn’t plan it that way, but it’s just that as of today (October 19) the new draft planning scheme is finally available for the public to check out. It seems like we’ve been waiting for it for

] a very long time, which is probably because we have. The three former Sunshine Coast councils amalgamated way back in 2008 and since then we’ve still been operating under three schemes. For your first taste of what the new planning scheme involves, check out our story on page 44. I urge you to read our agenda story, which is heart-breaking tale of a Sunshine Coast couple who has been the victim of government bureaucracy. That is on page 22. Over in motoring there is plenty to satisfy the petrol heads in the family – start your engines on page 38. We have also just expanded our weekend section to include not only the best gigs that are playing around the Coast, but also events for the bookworm, the board riders, the bon vivants and more. Weekend starts on page 34.

See us this weekend at the Sunshine Coast HOME SHOW

MAKING

HIS MARK PREVIEW It’s been almost six months since Mayor Mark Jamieson’s decisive victory in the local council elections. So half a year on, is the Sunshine Coast any closer to becoming the region the former newspaper chief has envisioned? WORDS Jemma Pearson IMAGE Ben Vos

hen MWP sat down for a chat with the Sunshine Coast’s new mayor, Mark Jamieson, back in May, we discovered a man who had hit the ground running. He had some noble, but perhaps lofty ambitions, including uniting his councillors, improving the situation for business on the Coast, cutting red tape, overseeing massive construction projects and creating jobs. It’s probably too early for him to decisively tick any of these items off his list, but after almost six months working with each other, Jamieson says his team “is coming together well”. “Each councillor has worked hard to get the best results for the Sunshine Coast,” the mayor tells MWP. “That’s not to say we don’t have our disagreements, but debate is done with respect,

and then we get on with the job of delivering for the people of this region.” He made no secret during and after the campaign that creating a pro-business culture in the region was and is crucial for our future. ‘Cutting red tape’ is a popular throwaway line on the campaign trail, but for Jamieson, the promise is far from empty. He lists a number of initiatives that he believes show “we’ve made it easier to do business, with the budget in particular addressing some of the long-time concerns”. He lists the scrapping of pre-lodgement fees for discussions on prospective development applications along with the reduction on application fees for commercial, business and industrial land uses. Then there are the “reduced application fees for seven selected land use types by 25 per cent by means of a fee rebate when the use commences M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

within two years” and the increase in “funding for economic development initiatives” – further proof of his commitment to reduce the red tape that he and many others believe is hampering business and development. “Now, there’s still more to do, but we have got off to a good start,” he says. The council has finished the draft town planning scheme, which is now with the State Government. “I can say there are no major surprises,” Jamieson says. “We want to make it easier to invest in our region, while at the same time protecting the unique character of our communities.” (My Weekly Preview readers keen to know more about the new town plan can read about it on page 44.) Broadening the Coast’s economic base to include new industries was also big on the new mayor’s list when he spoke to MWP earlier this year, and it’s an issue the mayor has mentioned in speeches and interviews since. “Traditionally the Sunshine Coast has relied on construction, retail and tourism and more recently health services, but to provide a sustainable economy we needed to get away from an over-reliance on just a few industries,” he says. “We are still working extremely hard to get building projects, tourist dollars and retail outlets, but that’s done concurrently with attempts to get other investment.” Such major change won’t come quickly, but the mayor says even in the past two months there have been “some big strides forward in that area. Just last week we secured the Stellar contact centre and the 190 jobs that go with it. That was on top of the recent announcement of a $5.3 million expansion by award-winning food producer Zehnder Gluten Free. With the help of the council, the Maleny manufacturer relocated to a facility at the Big Pineapple, where it’s expected to increase its full-time workforce to 68 positions.

“I’m confident there are more jobs to come.” Continuing job growth is essential, but as an employer there is only so much the council can do. In a region like ours, where the majority of residents are employed by small businesses, making it easy to do business is the priority for our leaders. But Jamieson says he can go a step further. “One thing we can do, which is hard to quantify, but which I think is vital, is to build confidence. “We’re working hard to encourage investment, from within and outside the region. We’re listening to business and acting on that advice. We’re diversifying the economy while supporting those sectors which have always been so valuable. We’ve supported small businesses who opposed extended trading hours, while welcoming the investment and jobs created by the big retailers. All these factors combine to provide a solid foundation for increased confidence which encourages investment, encourages people to spend, and helps small businesses.” But Jamieson also looks outside the region, advocating for the Coast where he can. “I’m in the ear of state and federal politicians at every opportunity,” he tells MWP. “At a state level, we have a unique opportunity where nearly every member for the Sunshine Coast is a minister. We may never have the likes of it again, and must make the most of it.” With both eyes firmly on the future, Jamieson still makes time for his predecessor, former mayor Bob Abbot. “We catch up on a semi-regular basis and I think it’s safe to say that on a whole he’s happy with how we are doing,” Jamieson says. “One of the first things we did as a council was to recommit to becoming the most sustainable region in Australia. We are also busy building on the strategic foundations laid by the previous council. Bob and I are driven by similar goals – we both want the best for the Sunshine Coast.”

GET

MWP and the health hub “MWP is a great read and I love that it presents the Sunshine Coast how I see it – a great place to live,” says Mark Jamieson. “Not perfect, but a place with plenty of opportunities. Your coverage of the health hub is a case in point; this is the biggest economic investment in this region – ever. “Just a week or so ago, I was at the f rst turning of the sod at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Right next door, the private hospital has already risen from the ground as the builders get it ready to open next year. This precinct is going to change the Coast forever; it’s providing thousands of construction jobs and will generate thousands more careers once it’s up and running.”

Q & A WITH THE MAYOR Q. In an average working week, how many hours would you put in? A. I’d hate to put a f gure on it – but a lot. You don’t put your hand up for this job thinking it would be a nine-to-f ve job on weekdays. In many ways it’s 24-7, but I love it. On weekends especially, I get to meet some wonderful people at events across the region. It’s a bit easier to take my wife Lorrell along for those as well, which means she gets to see a bit more of me than she would otherwise. But it’s important to remember there are plenty of people out there doing very long hours, and I’m in the fortunate position of enjoying every minute of what I do. Q. Any aspect of the job that has really surprised you? A. The amount of reading involved due to the legislative framework we are required to work to. Q. The best bit about being mayor? A. It gives me an excuse to go up and say hello to anybody. The Coast is full of wonderful people and I’m trying to meet as

many of them as I can. Some of the folks I meet are just inspirational, helping others day-in and day-out with no thought of reward or thanks. Those people make it all worthwhile. Q. Are you proud of the contribution you’ve made so far? A. I think it’s a bit early for that. I’ll let other people make those calls. I can say I’ve given the job everything I’ve got and I intend to keep up the pace for the next three-and-a-half years. Q. Do you get recognised a lot now you’re a well-known face in the community? A. I do, and thankfully most of the time people just want to say hello, and I enjoy having a chat and f nding out what they think about the council, what we are doing well and what we could be doing better. These are people who are looking for a more positive environment, a region with conf dence, so they can reach their aspirations. These are the people who will lead us to a renewed prosperity – they are making the most of the opportunities out there, and determined to see the Coast reach its potential.

Come f y with him Mark Jamieson joins other prominent Sunshine Coasters in advocating for expansion of the region’s airport as critical to the local economy. So what’s the latest on the airport expansion? “During my recent Council of Mayors (SEQ) trip to Canberra, I pushed our case for federal funding and I continue to do the same with the State Government,” says the mayor. “The reality is we’re not going to be able to get all the funds we need from the public sector so we will have to try to attract private sector support.”

HAPPY HINTERLAND TRAILS WORDS Katie Anderson

W

alkers, mountain bike riders and horse riders could soon enjoy an extended recreational trail spanning the length of the Sunshine Coast. It’s part of a plan that has won the support of Queensland Minister for National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing, Steve Dickson. The Great Rides Project features an extended recreational trail from the Glass House Mountains to the Mary Valley, travelling past townships such as Maleny, Kenilworth, Mapleton and Cooroy. It would include shared-use trails, suitable for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders of all ages and abilities. The trails can be divided into five main sections that can be linked to form a multi-day adventure with townships to stop at along the way, or used for easily accessible day trips. “The Newman Government is committed to opening up Queensland’s National Parks for everyone to enjoy and this proposal is exactly the type of project we’d like to see put into action,” says Steve Cooper Dickson.

“A Sunshine Coast Great Rides Trail could also have a huge range of flow-on eco-tourism and economic benefits for surrounding communities across the region.” The benefits of eco-tourism and cycling were discussed at the Sunshine Coast Tourism Industry Operators Forum in September, hosted by Sunshine Coast Destination and Sunshine Coast Council. It brought together tourism industry partners and government to thrash out ways to build a resilient and sustainable tourism future. Sunshine Coast Destination CEO Steve Cooper says, “The Sunshine Coast hinterland is renowned for its National Parks and walking trails and similarly, the Great Rides concept could have considerable potential for the region”. Bushrangers Mountain Bike Club’s Dave Lalik has been instrumental in developing the Great Rides Project. “The Bushrangers have put in approximately 500 man hours per year over the last three years, developing trails in the area with the support of National Parks and it’s great to hear that cycling is the top of the list in terms of tourism opportunities for the Sunshine Coast,” Lalik says. For further information on the project, or to see how you can get involved, visit bushrangers.org.

Ray’s triumphant return A much loved resident ray has arrived back home to UnderWater World after a 10-month holiday at SeaWorld on the Gold Coast. The brown ray was carefully transported by marine experts and then released into its new home, Bay of Rays, a new area in the ocean tank, which has recently undergone

a $3.5 million refurbishment. The brown ray was relocated to SeaWorld while work was completed on the new ocean tank’s four new zones – Bay of Rays, Shark Shipwreck, Coral Cove and Turtle Temple. Now reopened, the ray and many more animals are returning to the attraction after enjoying ‘holidays’ at various aquariums around Australia. UnderWater World curator Mark Smith says the ray has taken to its new home swimmingly. “It’s great to see all our animals returning home and thriving in their new environment in the ocean tank. It’s exciting to see animals we’ve cared for, for many years, healthy and flourishing,” he says.

Read2Remember project takes off The Sunshine Coast-based Read2Remember project has had a massive response with more than 568 schools nationally and more than 118,400 children registered in the wellbeing initiative so far. It is expected that half a million students will participate by close of registrations in early November. The Quest for Courage children’s book written byy local author Angela Bueti is a key component of thee campaign, and was launched at Immanuel Lutheran n College last Friday. Read2Remember founder Chris Turner says thee response to this year’s campaign is overwhelming. “We have sent Read2Remember information packs acks and a copy of The Quest for Courage to 6400 primary ry schools across the nation and to have thousands of students participating will certainly have a profound d effect on many young lives,” says Turner.

GRANTS FOR KOALA CARERS

T

he Queensland Government has launched a grants program for groups that work with sick, injured and orphaned koalas. Environment Minister Andrew Powell says $800,000 has been allocated over the next four years to support groups involved in koala rescue and rehabilitation. “It is no secret that koalas are

No Downer for South Australian leadership think I would be popular with the South Australian public,” he said. But he re-affirmed his support for Redmond and pointed out he was not a member of parliament. He was referred to the case of Campbell Newman who was not an MP before becoming opposition leader and going on to become Queensland premier. “I don’t think it’s a model that would likely work in most circumstances,” Downer said. AAP

Former foreign affairs minister Alexander Downer says continued speculation about him replacing South Australia’s liberal leader is “neither here nor there” as he’s not a member of parliament. Asked on ABC radio if he was interested in the position, he replied he was interested in supporting current Opposition Leader Isobel Redmond who was doing “a pretty good job”. “I am very flattered that people

under significant pressure in Queensland, and while habitat loss is one contributing factor, we can’t look at these issues in isolation,” he said in a statement. He says the grants will address other issues that affect koala numbers such as attacks by domestic animals and vehicle strikes. The grants are part of a $26.5 million State Government plan to protect the species, which earlier in the year was listed as vulnerable in Queensland, NSW and the ACT. The centrepiece of the state plan is a three-year, $22.5 million program to buy back and rehabilitate degraded koala habitat in Queensland’s south-east. But the Australian Koala Foundation says given current land prices it will be lucky if the money can buy “a postage stamp”. The government has also set aside $3.2 million over four years to support research into disease and other preventable causes of death, injury and illness. AAP

Major drug ring smashed in Brisbane Police have smashed a major drug trafficking ring in Brisbane’s southeast, with 25 people arrested on almost 100 charges. More than 2000 hydroponically grown cannabis plants, 70 kilograms of dried cannabis and $60,000 in cash were seized in co-ordinated police raids last week. Officers also shut down four houses used exclusively to grow hydroponic cannabis crops, and

13 other hydroponic set-ups. The ‘grow houses’ were at Rochedale, Park Ridge and Springwood. Two of the four contained about 600 plants each. More than 100 police were involved in the raids which targeted 40 properties across Brisbane. Officers also seized weapons including a rifle, air rifles and capsicum spray, along with amphetamines and equipment. AAP

FLOOD PLANS The Queensland Government has prepared for a possible repeat of last year’s devastating floods and cyclones by deploying six hightech operational support units across the state. Emergency Services Minister Jack Dempsey says with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting several cyclones for the state during this summer, it’s important to roll out the $700,000 vehicles as soon as possible. “So this gives us that extra preparedness to be on the front foot and be able to have that equipment in the right place at the right time,” he told reporters in Brisbane. “Because if we have a disaster [that] hits a particular area and takes out that heavy infrastructure, this gives us the mobility to still be in there and have that same communication and safety factor.” The vehicles are fitted with removal breathing apparatus compressors and could be used as mobile command centres, he says.

Good prognosis for Peter Harvey Veteran television journalist Peter Harvey has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is receiving treatment in hospital. The 65-year-old Nine Network reporter fell ill during a recent trip to Venice, Italy. “Tests have confirmed that Peter Harvey has pancreatic cancer,” Nine’s director of news and current affairs Darren Wick said in a statement. “He is presently in hospital where doctors will today decide what course of treatment they will follow to control the cancer. “True to his nature, he is upbeat, very positive and pragmatic about what needs to be done. And his sense of humour is as wicked as ever.” In an email to staff, published on the NineMSN website, Wick said doctors believed the cancer was detected early and can be managed. AAP

British biologist who was a key part of the team which created Dolly the sheep, a breakthrough in animal cloning, has died. Professor Keith Campbell, who was 58, passed away earlier this month, said a spokesman from the University of Nottingham. Campbell oversaw the scientific research that helped create Dolly, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, in 1996 at the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute. Ian Wilmut, who led the Dolly team, was reported as saying Campbell deserved two-thirds of the credit for the lamb’s creation. “I am very saddened and upset to have heard of the death of my former colleague Keith

Campbell,� Wilmut said in a statement. “I want to send sympathy and best wishes to his family in this difficult time.� Dolly created a sensation when she was revealed to the public one year after she was born. Animal cloning research has progressed rapidly since, with cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, dogs and cats all cloned, as well as laboratory animals like mice and rats. AFP

Warwick, Seagal among top tax defaulters

Two celebrities are on a notable list in California, but it’s not exactly the A-list. The state’s tax authorities say singer Dionne Warwick and actor Steven Seagal are among the 500 people and businesses who owe the most in unpaid taxes. According to a list released last week, Warwick owes California $US2.6 million ($2.55 million). She’s been delinquent since 2003, but her publicist, Kevin Sasaki, says she has worked out a repayment plan with the state. Seagal owes nearly $US350,000 and has been on the list since April. Technology entrepreneur Halsey Minor, of San Rafael, owes the most to the state – $US10.7 million. AP

Rocking and rolling on Mars The first rock examined by NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover is turning out to be a bit more unusual than scientists thought it would be. Curiosity used its robot arm to touch a football-sized pyramidshaped rock for the first time two weeks ago. It also shot the rock dozens of times with a laser. The results surprised scientists.

Those rocks are formed under high pressure, deep underground and once contained water. Scientists do not know how old the Martian rock is. AP

PREVIEW It’s a match made in heaven: orphaned African children and childless Australian couples. But sadly, they will never meet. WORDS Nathan Paull IMAGES AAP

S

omewhere in Ethiopia in a rundown orphanage, two young brothers sit side-by-side. As bloated flies patrol the humid air of the crowded room, the brothers’ stomachs growl in unison. They’ve never felt the warmth of a mother’s hug or the reassurance of a father’s pat on the back. They are just two of five million orphaned or vulnerable children in the east African nation who share a similar fate. More than 12,000 kilometres away on the Sunshine Coast, Scott and Bronwyn McNamara weep for them. They imagine what it would be like to raise the boys as their own. To teach them how to tie their shoelaces. To

watch the joy in their faces as they open their Christmas presents. To put Band-Aids on their knees and kiss their foreheads when they get into scrapes like all boys do. But the McNamaras know that will never happen. For more than eight years they have been in a queue waiting to adopt two Ethiopian siblings as part of the Federal Government’s inter-country adoption program after being unable to start a family themselves. During that time, they have been subject to constant police checks, psychological assessments and the intolerable wait for the phone to ring to hear their family is finally available. But like more than 100 Australian couples in a similar situation, their lives

was rocked in June this year when the Federal Attorney-General Nicola Roxon announced the program’s closure. “It just feels like my whole future’s just been torn away from me and in my own body it feels like my heart’s just been ripped from my chest,” Bronwyn says, her voice thick with despair. Roxon’s office says the program’s closure has been a “tough decision”, but one forced on the government by “ongoing issues beyond the government’s control”. “Inter-country adoption is about finding families for children, not children for families,” her department reported in a statement. “The best interests and rights of children are the most important considerations in relation to adoption.” Scott McNamara is barely able to contain his frustration as he describes the comment as a “slap in the face”. “We know that’s what the process is about, but the point is there are so many children in need,” he says. After dedicating the better part of a decade to the program, the McNamaras, now 43 and 47, know their chances of raising the family they have dreamed of are now slim. But the fight is far from over for families like the McNamaras and the millions of Ethiopian children in need. Australian African Children’s Aid Support Association (AACASA) president Mark Pearce recently returned from Ethiopia and remains hopeful the program will be reopened. After what he saw over there, Pearce has to hope. “We discovered in the orphanages, most [babies] were having their nappies changed twice a day because they couldn’t afford nappies,” he says. “We bought blankets and stuff for the kids so at least they had a blanket to sleep under at night.” Pearce says the Ethiopian government is looking at ways to help its orphans in the country,

The program has been overcome by barriers to continuing operation in a f nancially stable and ethical way Nicola Roxon

wouldn’t happen, it was just sheer frustration, anger, all of the emotions I think. “It was a conscious decision for us to adopt instead of having our children … but after 10 years in the program, we feel like we’ve been robbed of our opportunity to do that.” Roxon was asked whether there was a chance the program would be reopened, but did not respond to the question through her department’s reply: “… (the program) has been overcome by barriers to continuing operation in a financially stable and ethical way,” the statement reads. “This has been a tough decision, but a necessary one and the government and our state and territory counterparts will do all we can to support those affected.” But families like the McNamaras and Phelpses don’t want support. They want the loving families they jumped through hoops for years to try to create while watching their friends’ and families’ children grow up around them. But, most of all, they want the children crammed into underfunded orphanages in Ethiopia to know what a parents’ love feels like. The couples know they can never help them all. But as dreams of raising the children they will now never meet play like a cruel film over and over in their head, they know they could have at least helped some.

but still sees inter-country adoptions as part of the solution. He now wants to persuade Roxon to reverse her decision. “Now we’re back home we’re going to speak with politicians and lawmakers in regards to adoption and show them the great positives,” he says. “We’ve had 657 children adopted to Australia and their hopes and dreams have been fulfilled and the kids are doing really well.” One of those 657 is seven-year-old Degu Phelps. Kym and Leonie Phelps decided early on in their relationship they wanted to adopt because they hated the thought of children anywhere in the world growing up without parents. After years in the program, they flew to Ethiopia to take their new son, then aged four months, home to Clare in South Australia in 2005. He is now a happy, healthy boy who loves motorbikes and the Collingwood Football Club. He has everything a boy his age could want, apart from a little brother or sister to share his parents’ love with. The Phelps were in the process of adopting a younger sibling for Degu when they received the dreaded call in June. “We wanted him to have siblings that were culturally-related and would grow up with him and have the same joys and same frustrations,” Leonie Phelps recalls. “When we realised that

S

ince 2007 it has been possible for SMSF’s to borrow to buy property, resulting in a new class of investors. It has also meant a new industry has emerged around providing advice to borrow within superannuation. However, the establishment costs, interest rates, and fees to advisers can be substantial, typically a lot higher than non-super borrowing, and it could be that it is better to borrow and invest in one’s own name. Typically, residential property has quite a low rental return – after interest it is generally cash-flow negative, hence the name ‘negative gearing’. This loss is normally tax deductible, meaning the tax office partially compensates you for the loss and you expect to eventually sell the asset for a capital gain. However, the refund through a tax deduction works best on a high tax rate – not the 15 per cent tax rate currently levied on income within a super fund. So if your taxable income is above $37,000 you would be better off from a cash-flow perspective to

gear in your own name rather than though super. To be better off gearing inside super, you must expect to make a large capital profit down the track that more than offsets the cash-flow losses accumulated over time. The benefit of owning property within super is that the tax rate on capital gains is only 10 per cent when in accumulation mode, or nil when in pension mode. So you may be worse off in the short term but better off in the long term. However, there is a lot of uncertainty in these projections. What capital growth rate do you assume when projecting future profits and losses? It would be best to be conservative, particularly given lower global growth forecasts these days. This projected benefit may be so far in the future that it is worthless as a tool to make an accurate assessment of the future returns. Given the risks involved, such as legislative risk surrounding super, higher interest rates, higher costs, high commission to advisers, lower loan-to-value ratios, the lack of ability to develop the property or lease to family members, one has to make a very careful assessment. You may in fact find there isn’t much difference in the after tax returns either way. Mark Davidson is an Authorised Representative (no 427049) of Ord Minnett Ltd, AFS licence 237121.

Could your Hormones be making you CRAZY? Beat Anger, Irritability, Anxiety and Depression Forever! Mood swings so strong, you just want to scream, or crawl into bed and sleep till it’s over. Anxiety over nothing, irritable over everything, crying at the drop of a hat, and sadness to boot! Now, I’m not just talking about menopause and PMS; to all of you men, MANopause can and will happen, so listen up! Are you irritable, nervous, depressed, low libido, foggy thinking, can’t sleep, or gaining weight? Is anything sounding familiar? Hormonal imbalances don’t just happen without cause. Did you ever wonder why some people have great hormones, and you just don’t? Why can some people eat anything and maintain their weight, yet you gain 3kg overnight from just thinking about breaking your diet! It’s not all about weight, but some of it is, these symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg for what hormones can do to your body when out of balance long term. You’re looking at accelerated aging, permanent metabolism malfunction, which leads to diabetes and heart disease, and a decline in your brain function, including losing your short term memory, and loss of important older memories permanently. There are six triggers that affect your hormones, starting with diet, food reactions,

[

nutrient deficiencies, infections, stress, and fitness. The problem we have is that most people only deal with one of these at a time. You’ll see a specialist in only one area, though if you don’t address all of them, you’re caught in a cycle that goes on for life. The frustrating part is once these triggers upset your hormones, your hormones cause these triggers again! How do you stop it? Actually, it’s pretty easy to stop, as long as you deal with them all at the same time and properly! I have seen hormone creams to balance hormones, the pill, HRT, and bio-identical hormones. These might help your current symptoms, though they won’t fix the cause, and they won’t fix the permanent effects, so the cycle continues and you become reliant on them. Fortunately, it can be treated properly, and most symptoms are improved within weeks, and completely relieved within just a few months. Hormones are one part of a 7 step process for permanently treating mood fluctuations. These steps have been proven with testing to improve brain and total body function immeasurably, without the help of medication.

If you’d like to know more, call for a free half hour consultation, where you’ll learn about everything that causes hormonal and mood problems, and what to do about it. Also, you may wish to view the free webinar “7 Steps to Freedom from Anxiety & Depression” at www.advancedwellness.com.au. A webinar is simply a seminar that you can see on the internet.

obile phones and computers may have overtaken television as the root of all evil for teenagers’ poor wellbeing, an Australian study shows. University of Sydney researchers investigated the impact of technology on more than 1100 Australian teenagers’ sleeping habits, finding that those who were unable to switch off from interacting with mobile devices at night were most likely to be sleep deprived. More than half of those surveyed had two or three devices – including mobile phones, computers and TVs – in their bedrooms, but for once, television was not the problem. “Television has been the root of all evil for so long that people are used to seeing it associated with unhelpful behaviour,” says Dr Nathaniel Marshall from the university’s Centre for Integrated Research and Understanding of Sleep.

“We didn’t find that.” Instead, it was interactive devices, including mobile phones, that teenagers found themselves glued to for hours, or in some cases, all night, Marshall says. But he says researchers could not rule out that other factors were causing sleep problems. “Maybe these kids have got sleep problems and what they are doing while they can’t sleep is using these technology devices,” he says. Simply having the devices in teenagers’ rooms was not problematic, as some could refrain from using them and enjoy normal sleep patterns. “The presence of these devices is not the problem, it’s when these kids can’t help themselves but use it all night,” Marshall says. He says the study was carried out to investigate the extent to which teenagers were sleep deprived because of intense technology use as this could potentially impact their school performance. AAP

CAMBODIAN CHICKEN B’BAW (RICE PORRIDGE) SHOPPING LIST • 2 litres water • 3 chicken marylands • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 cups rice, rinsed and drained • 1 small onion, halved and sliced • 1/3 cup preserved cabbage • 2 teaspoons sugar • 3 tablespoons fish sauce

• ¼ cup dried shrimps, rinsed and drained • 4 cloves garlic, chopped finely • 2 tablespoons oil • 200 grams bean sprouts • ½ cup coriander, roughly chopped (optional) • cracked pepper for seasoning

METHOD Bring the water to the boil in a large pot and add the chicken and salt. Return to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Skim off any froth. Take the chicken out to cool. While the chicken is cooling, add the rice to the chicken stock and continue to boil. Add the onion, preserved cabbage, sugar, fish sauce and dried shrimps. Let the porridge simmer until the rice becomes fluffy, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom. If it becomes too thick, add some more water. When the chicken is cool to touch, remove the skin and tear into strips. Add the chicken to the soup. Brown the garlic in a small amount of the oil and transfer into the porridge. Serve hot in individual bowls with bean sprouts, coriander and cracked pepper on top.

MAKING A SPLASH FOR KIDS WITH ARTHRITIS If you were glued to the TV during the Olympic diving and have always wanted to give it a go, buy a ticket to The Big Splash on November 3 and help raise money for kids with arthritis. Redlands Amateur Platform and Springboard Diving (RAPS) coach Di Smith has organised the event at Kawana Aquatic Centre and says it is open to anyone – young or old – who wants to try springboard diving or just watch the professionals in action. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Smith says. “Our club divers, including state and national champions, will show off their skills during the course of the day.” The event is sponsored by Arthritis NSW and Everyday Heroes

and hopes to raise $20,000 to send kids like Smith’s three-year-old granddaughter, Zoe Billiard – who suffers from systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, the least common and most severe form – and their families to Camp Twinkletoes for education and support with the disease. To register for The Big Splash go to arthritisnsw.org.au/ products-page/answ-events/ fun-dive-registration.

MERCEDES SLK200 IS PURE INDULGENCE

MAKE/MODEL MERCEDES-BENZ SLK200

WORDS Peter Atkinson

E

very so often, a car comes along that rewrites the rule book. Sometimes it changes the way we think about cars, sometimes it changes the way we think about the company that make them. Sometimes it redef nes the category to which it belongs. The Mercedes-Benz SLK has been such a car. Not only did the original SLK redef ne the notion of the small sports car, but in the process it largely changed the way people looked at the world’s greatest car maker.

Its folding steel roof, a dazzling piece of design at the time it was released way back in 1996, was a revelation. It meant that a two-seat roadster could be relatively civilised as well as bundles of fun. You could not only keep out the cold and wet when required, but also keep out thieves and vandals if you lived in the inner-city without secure parking (always a niggle with soft-top convertibles). The SLK also proved that Mercedes-Benz wasn’t just about luxury, but that the threepoint star could

also represent a more youthful, free-spirited appeal. That was the f rst SLK. The second-generation SLK, launched about seven years ago, was a favourite of mine. It advanced the breed in terms of luxury and driving experience – and was one of the prettiest cars I’ve driven. So replacing it was going to bring some misgivings. Having seen photos of the thirdgeneration SLK, which arrived late last year, I was braced for disappointment. But in the metal it’s quite the opposite. While the previous SLK evoked the same design queues as the McLarenMercedes supercar, the latest SLK quite clearly mimics the all-new Benz f agship, the SLS Gullwing. Gone are the delicately curved f anks and torpedo-style front grille – replaced with the more upright nose and aggressive breather gills borrowed from the new Gullwing. If its predecessor was one of the prettiest cars on the road, this SLK will be regarded as one of the sexiest. Of course, as is the Benz way, the

DETAILS Two-door, two-seat roadster with turbocharged four-cylinder engine and seven-speed automatic transmission. TECH STUFF 1.8-litre turbo-charged four-cylinder engine produces 135kW, 270Nm; seven-speed automatic transmission with gearshift paddles, rear-wheel drive. FEATURES Six airbags, Stability Control with adaptive braking; folding metal roof, premium audio with 14.7cm colour TFT display, MP3 and iPod compatibility; solar ref ecting leather upholstery. THIRST 6.9L/100km (off cial combined f gure); emissions 161gm/km. PERFORMANCE 0-100km/h in seven seconds. BOTTOM LINE $82,900 plus on-road costs.

absence of twisting or scuttling of the chassis over rough surfaces – it remains sturdy and composed. The ride is at the firm end of the scale. With the roof folded away, there’s also very little wind or noise intrusion into the cabin. Put the roof in place (a push-button operation) and you’re cocooned in a cosy space with ample room for two adults. But even with the roof up, cargo space in that pert little boot is at a premium. Think one set of golf clubs if you’re lucky.

11.9 litres per 100 kilometres (compared with the official combined figure of 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres). The seven-speed auto, as well as giving the SLK a loping, effortless stride on the open road, is intuitive and smooth, particularly when used in Sport mode. Gearshift paddles allow the driver to take control of shifts when the mood strikes. Perhaps because of its short wheelbase, there’s an almost total

]

Changes to the SLK’s cabin have been evolutionary, rather than radical. It still feels snug and beautifully proportioned, and everything is presented in a modern, crisp style. The instrument panel is attractive and easily read, but strangely misses out on the excellent colour display offered in the comparably equipped, and cheaper-priced C-Class models. A central colour screen allows easy access to sat-nav and audio settings, while large, logical dials control the climate control air-conditioning. There’s an electronic parking brake – a welcome development which, it is to be hoped, will soon replace the clumsy foot-operated version which stubbornly remains in many more expensive members of the Benz family. Price-wise, the new SLK is also an attractive proposition, particularly in its most basic form. Of course, this isn’t a car for those with practicality in mind. But if you’re in the mood to indulge yourself, the SLK is a brilliantly enjoyable way to do it.

SLK is launched with a fancy new gimmick. In the original SLK the party trick was the so-called Varioroof; in the second generation it was the debut of the clever AirScarf which pumps warm air through the seat and onto the back of the occupants’ neck. Both remain on the third generation, which also debuts a feature called Magic Sky Control – a glass roof which switches from light to dark at the press of a button. Benz says it gives the sensation of open-air driving, even in cold weather when it’s best to stay cocooned inside, but can provide the shade and heat resistance of a metal roof. We didn’t get to try out the fancy new sunroof in our test drive, which was conducted in the base-model SLK200. With a 1.8-litre turbocharged engine, it costs an approachable $82,900. It delivers plenty of punch (135 kilowatts), getting you to the speed limit in a brisk seven seconds. We didn’t find the car particularly thrifty, though – our week-long test returned an average consumption of

Usain’s insane GT-R

Battery breakthrough

Carsguide reports a gold GT-R has been built for multi-world record holder Usain Bolt. The Nissan ambassador was given a one-off edition of the range-topping performance GT-R. It is finished in real gold both outside and inside and is embossed with Bolt’s signature. The gold GT-R is to be auctioned on eBay with proceeds donated to the Usain Bolt Foundation.

Researchers from the University of California claim to have algorithms that could potentially cut charge times in half and reduce the cost of Lithium-ion batteries by up to 25 per cent. Lithium-ion battery use, while being employed across the consumer electronics industry, is still in its infancy. They are currently used by the Holden Volt, Nissan LEAF and Mitsubishi i-MiEV to name a few. The plan is to make batteries with fewer cells so batteries are lighter and smaller. Researchers will continue over the next three years and will work with Bosch and battery maker Cobasys for testing and algorithm refining.

Making reversing safer In launching the new CR-V next month, Honda has let it slip that reverse cameras will be standard on all models including the base 2.0L Vti 2WD. It is also Honda’s first entry into the 2WD SUV market, a segment that has had steady growth in the past four years. The fourth generation will be a much-needed boost to Honda’s flagging market share, the result of both natural disaster and poor product planning.

In your dreams, Honda Honda’s CEO of research and development, Yoshiharu Yamamoto, has told Autocar magazine that when it comes to Formula One, “We do look up at those races and hope that one day we can take part again.” In order for that day to occur, a few things would need to happen: the rules would need to change and Honda would need to prove itself capable of winning in the World Touring Car Championship.

SPRING CLEAN YOUR CAR Now’s the time for that spring clean and with such beautiful weather, it’s a great time to give the car a spruce-up. Rather than heading to one of the car-wash stations, look no further than this to-do list. 1. Clean up spills quickly, before they have a chance to soak in and set. 2. When vacuuming, use the duster-brush attachment to get in all the nooks and crannies. If you don’t have an attachment, use a paintbrush to dislodge the dust. 3. Use the crevice tool to reach between seats and the console to dislodge food crumbs and other hidden goodies. 4. Vacuum the seams on seats, where dirt accumulates and breaks down the fabric. 5. For upholstery, use a mild solution (a couple of drops per litre) of dishwashing detergent and water. Dip a towel into the solution and rub gently. For leather upholstery, a leather cleaner is recommended. After cleaning leather, rub in a conditioner.

6. If you have tinted windows, it’s better to use an alcohol-based cleaner than an ammonia-based glass cleaner because the ammonia can break down the tint. 7. A good way to get streak-free windows is to use a micro-fibre towel. 8. Don’t forget to clean the rearview mirrors and side windows. 9. Clean the instrument panel with a clean micro-fibre cloth. 10. Keep a towel under your seat to quickly clean up spills on fabric upholstery. Instead of rubbing the spill, try pressing down with the towel to soak it up. 11. If you do use a spray stain remover, be sure you go back with a clean damp towel to remove any residual cleaner, which acts as a magnet for dirt when left on the seat. 12. Combat red stains with the following method: fill a spray bottle to the top with 90 per cent water and 10 per cent ammonia. Spray onto the red stain, wetting well. Place a clean damp towel over the stain and press with a hot iron. AAP

FROM HIGHWAY TO RACEWAY

A Daimler Brand

Opel’s Astra OPC is heading to Australia with the vehicle making its local debut at the 2012 Australian International Motor Show later this month. The most powerful Astra Opel has ever produced will join the Opel Australia line-up from early 2013. Powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged direct-injection engine, the Astra OPC (Opel Performance Centre) achieves a power output of up to 206 kilowatts and maximum torque of 400 newton metres. The latest model to join the Opel Australia family can sprint from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in just six

seconds. Never before has an Astra been so fast. The Astra OPC will be the most powerful hot hatch available in its segment, Opel says. “Australia has a long history of, and passion for, performance vehicles,” says Opel Australia’s managing director Bill Mott. “Since launch we’ve continually been asked if and when OPC is coming and we are very excited to confirm that the Astra OPC will be in Sydney next week and will be available in our showrooms next year. “It is a car that driving enthusiasts can comfortably commute in during the week and on weekends, enjoy on the track.”

The sleek Honda Civic Hatch has been awarded a 2012 Women’s World Car of the Year award. Introduced for the first time in 2009, the Women’s World Car of the Year awards program recognises the power and influence of female car purchasers worldwide. The Women’s World Car of the Year judging panel is comprised of female motoring writers from 12 countries including two from Australia. Finalists are selected from an initial entry list of 300 cars and assessed according to criteria women consider when buying a car, such as safety, value for money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, ease of driving, colour, sex appeal, environmental footprint and child-friendliness.

Toyota Australia has announced a recall which will affect approximately 300,000 vehicles in Australia. The recall relates to the power window switch of models including Camry, Aurion, Corolla, Kluger and RAV 4. Vehicles produced between 2006 and 2010 may be affected. In due course, Toyota Australia will send owners a letter to inform them if their vehicle is affected. Ken Mills Toyota is providing a free service for people who wish to check if their vehicle is affected. Owners can email their VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to recall@kenmillstoyota.com.au and the service staff will confirm whether the vehicle is affected. This service should be of interest to those who have moved addresses since buying their Toyota or purchased an affected model as a used vehicle. The VIN is a 17-digit combination of numbers and letters and is found on the registration label. To simplify the process, the registration label can be photographed and sent in.

WHAT’S THE

PLAN

PREVIEW The long-awaited draft planning scheme is now available for public viewing. So, what do Coast property owners need to know? MPP f nds out.

I

IMAGE Greg Gardner

t has been a long wait, but Sunshine Coast Council’s draft planning scheme 2012 is now on public display. This new scheme, which brings together the schemes from the former three shires of Maroochy, Noosa and Caloundra, has been much anticipated by business, community groups and property owners. So what is a planning scheme? It’s a set of rules that outline how land, buildings and structures are used and developed in a region. Local planning schemes will also show what areas are suitable for future growth and the sort of infrastructure that may be needed to support that area. But it’s not just about what can be developed and where – also recognised in the council scheme are things such as heritage sites and spaces that have environmental significance. Planning schemes are prepared in accordance with the relevant State Government legislation. Before local government amalgamation in 2008, the Sunshine Coast region operated under three planning schemes – the Caloundra City Plan 2004, Maroochy Plan 2000 and The Noosa Plan 2006. And the region is still operating under the three. This new scheme replaces these with a single plan for the entire Sunshine Coast. The council hopes this will ensure a more consistent approach to development regulation and growth management in the region. The council is urging property owners on the Coast to visit a display and learn more about the plan, and have a say, on this important blueprint. There are a few ways Sunshine Coasters can do this. The draft

scheme will be on display from today until December 14 and the council will be holding a number of local information displays across the region. To find out where, contact the council. If you don’t want to leave the home or office, you can also view the scheme at the council’s website, at sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au. Once you’ve had a good look at the scheme, the council is encouraging feedback. Submissions can be made via the website, via email or mail. Call the council to find out more. So what is in it? Managing future growth in our region is a challenge the mayor and councillors recognise, and, according to a council newsletter, the new planning scheme “will help ensure our region can support growth while remaining a great place to live, work and play”. The scheme covers the way land is used and developed, how waterways are managed and how the council will tackle issues such as climate change, environmental protection and creating a diverse economic base. All those who own property on the Sunshine Coast should take a look at the planning scheme as it will cover what they can do with their land, and what their neighbours can do. This is the advice from the council, “If you haven’t been involved with a planning scheme review before and are unsure of how you may be affected, begin by focusing on your property to find out if the new planning scheme will change the way you are able to use or develop your

Playing by the rules What does the planning scheme regulate? According to the council, the scheme covers development activities such as: land. A step-by-step information sheet is available on council’s website to assist you.” The Sunshine Coast’s draft planning scheme adheres to state provisions that detail the format for local government schemes. According to the council, key components of this region’s scheme include: • Strategic framework: This dictates the high-level direction that the rest of the scheme must follow. • Tables of assessment: This covers development proposals and shows whether or not a proposal requires a development application, and how that application will be assessed. • Zones: All properties on the Coast, including private homes, offices, shops and industrial sheds fall into a particular zone. The planning scheme outlines these zones so it is transparent to all Sunshine Coasters what the land use is in a particular suburb, area or street. • Priority infrastructure plan: This outlines local government plans for the provision of ‘trunk infrastructure’ (which includes water, sewer, transport and park infrastructure) for urban developments. • Local plans: These guide the way separate communities develop. The council has identified 36 areas on the Sunshine Coast, and the aim of the local plan is to maintain the unique character of these towns, villages and neighbourhoods. • Overlays: Another important component of this

MY W EEKLYPREVIE W. CO M . AU

45.indd 1

scheme, this identifies areas with characteristics that must be considered if a development is proposed. The characteristics may relate to natural hazards (such as bushfire or flooding or landslide), heritage or biodiversity values and other restrictions (such as proximity to a quarry or major pipeline). • Development codes: Developers will be looking closely at this component, which provides detailed criteria for assessing developments. The scheme has come a long way. Community groups, the State Government, industry focus groups and advisory panels have all had a say in developing the draft document. According to the council newsletter, “Work started in 2009 when Planning for a Sustainable Sunshine Coast – A Statement of Proposals for the new planning scheme was released for public comment, along with a range of important strategies; from affordable living and sustainable transport, to biodiversity, waterways and climate change. In 2010, council visited local areas across the Coast to seek further comment from the community. Feedback received during these activities was used during the development of the draft planning scheme.” So what happens now? After the community consultation period closes in December, every submission will be reviewed, and considered, with recommendations going back to the council. The council will then have an opportunity to make further changes before it goes back to the State Government for a review. Once the government has approved it, the council will adopt the final scheme.

• establishing a new use or increasing the scale of an existing use, • subdividing land or changing boundaries, • carrying out certain building work (such as altering, moving or demolishing a heritage place), • engineering or landscaping works, • excavation and f lling, • vegetation clearing, and • advertising signage. It’s important to remember that the new planning scheme applies only to future development and doesn’t impact on existing development and approvals or developments that have already started.

Stay in the loop Stay up to date with the progress of the draft planning scheme via the council’s website at sunshinecoast .qld.gov.au/draftscplanningscheme. For more information about the scheme and how you can be involved call the council on 5475 7526.

BUYERS FLOCK TO THE PAVILIONS

W

hen Sunland Group launched stage two of its $83 million Peregian Springs residential development The Pavilions last Wednesday, the buyer feedback was immediately positive – one lot was under contract by early afternoon, in addition to the 13 lots already sold in stage one. Sunland’s Robyn Valmadre attributes the success to the quality of homes on offer, but also to the developer’s commitment to delivering the

MOUNT COOLUM UNIT 4 ‘COOLA QUAYS’, 18-20 RAMILLES STREET

kind of property people want to buy. She says feedback from stage one indicated buyers loved the location and style of The Pavilions, but some were seeking single-storey homes. So after careful reflection and planning, Sunland’s designers went back to the drawing board (and back through the council approval process) and have now introduced a range of single and split-level homes starting from $398,000.

Space in Little Mountain

Light-f lled Buderim unit

Well-built in Mooloolaba

On half an acre in a familyfriendly cul-de-sac, this home comprises four bedrooms and large, well-separated living and dining areas offering plenty of space for the family. A good-sized walk-through kitchen overlooks the rear yard, patio area and inground pool with Balinese-inspired hut. A large Colorbond shed provides storage space for the tradesperson or home handyman, and there are side access, off-street parking and a drive-through garage.

A short stroll from Buderim village, this beautiful unit is set back from the road in a small, secure gated complex with remote control and intercom access. A clever design allows for separation between the air-conditioned open-plan living area and two good-sized bedrooms, while raked ceilings give a feeling of space and comfort. The kitchen opens to a paved north-facing courtyard and adjoins a central atrium for plenty of natural light.

Only 600 metres’ walk to Mooloolaba, this easy-care home features two air-conditioned living areas opening to the north east. The master bedroom has an ensuite and a walk-in robe and overlooks the pool area, while two bedrooms are queen-sized and the fourth is suitable for a large home office. The garage has a workshop area with benches and roof storage space, and there are solar panels to reduce electricity costs.

C O M M E R CI A L GOLDEN BEACH FOR LEASE 1/56 LANDSBOROUGH PARADE

EXPERTS ALARMED BY NEW PLANS

C

ommercial agents are alarmed by a proposal to allow transactions to be done without a real estate licence. Promoted by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), the committee behind the plans wants to abolish the license for commercial real estate agents altogether. The COAG taskforce has held information sessions

around Australia to discuss the proposals with those in the industry. Victor Sankey from the Real Estate Institute of WA is concerned the proposal would allow those with little or no knowledge of real estate law or consumer rights to enter the industry. Also concerned is Real Estate Institute of Australia president Pamela Bennett, who says, “Commercial real

estate transactions are often complex and could produce unexpected issues during the settlement period and it makes Pamela Bennett no sense to abolish licensing. Sellers and buyers need to be assured the selling agent is appropriately trained and qualified.”

Prime Golden Beach Location – For Lease An excellent opportunity to lease this 72m² off ce/retail space with great main road frontage in a busy strip shopping centre with many Medical/Allied Health Professionals nearby and with the bus at your door. A modern building with new carpets and freshly painted. The layout suits professional off ces with off street parking, reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning, reception area, kitchenette and toilets. Rent is $500 per week (plus GST and outgoings). INSPECT By Appointment CAROLANS 5441 1344 WEB www.carolans.net PETER WRIGLEY 0407 374 349

ACROSS

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 Skip over minor details at your peril this weekend. With the moon and Pluto pairing up in your research zone, focus on the facts and avoid changing your mind every five minutes.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 Relationships will be intense, as the moon and Pluto join forces in your partnership zone. You’re searching for stability from loved ones but they have their own problems.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 You’re full of optimism but don’t overdo it. Talk is cheap. Make sure you back up your bright ideas with plenty of productive action. It’s time to walk your talk.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 You’re in an obsessive mood this weekend, especially when it comes to children or friends. Try to relax and see things from all points of view – and resist the urge to criticise.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 You can be dazzled by outer beauty. Don’t be deceived by glossy outward appearances this weekend, Libra. Look beneath the surface to evaluate a person.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Pluto hooks up with the moon so you’re inclined to extreme views, black and white thinking, and intense communication. But it is the perfect time to research a subject in a deep way.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Let your adventurous spirit run wild on Saturday, as things will become progressively more routine as the weekend wears on. Put energy into completing projects.

SCATTERWORD

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 You’ll feel right at home on Sunday, as the moon moves through your sign. But you’ll also be very intense. You’ve got a bee in your bonnet and won’t rest until the issue is resolved.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 Are you unsure which path to follow in the future? Pay close attention to your nightly dreams, Aquarius. They are full of significant symbols that will lead you in the right direction.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 Mystery abounds today, as you discover information about a friend. Or perhaps someone tells you something in strict confidence. The question is, can you keep a secret?

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 You can be incredibly fixed in your opinions and attitudes, which can put others offside. As the weekend progresses, you’ll find a flexible approach will bring better results.

SURF REPORT

with Steve Harris from Suburban Surf

Well surfers just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, this weekend’s forecast looks pretty dismal. Thursday will have waves up to about one foot with south-westerlies early tending fresh SE later. Friday is not much better with a small southerly swell to half a foot on the points. Winds will be N/NW swinging NE throughout the day. For Saturday and Sunday on an easing small southerly swell, the wave size on the points will remain around half a foot with NW winds early turning strong northerly. With the high tide mid-morning to lunchtime, the only chance of a rideable wave looks like the open beaches protected from the northerlies. Check the pocket at Kawana or Yaroomba or if you’ve got a four-wheel drive head to Double Island. With the water temp at 22 and air temp at 30, the beach is looking like a good bet. Good surf ng.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Flathead are about in good numbers at the goal posts at Bli Bli on plastics and white bait. Whiting are taking yabbies along the Black Banks on a rising tide. A few mud crabs are starting to show up after the rain. Catch mangrove jack on lures up Eudlo and Petrie creeks. SURF: Sand whiting and small nuisance will be darting along Mudjimba Beach, mostly on prawns or plastic worms by Gulp. There are a few f athead in the shallow gutters along Kawana Beach, while tailor will be around the bar areas during the night on pilchards. OFFSHORE: Wide Caloundra and the bottom of the Barwon Banks are returning quality snapper and pearl perch on a mixture of plastics and baits. A run of Spanish mackeral is just starting off Coolum on trolling lures. FRESHWATER: Lake McDonald is the surprise at present with Mary River cod and bass being caught and released from kayaks slow trolling. Golden perch and bass are being taken at Borumba Dam at dawn and dusk using spinner baits. Fly f shers are getting their share of saratoga.
