As Queensland’s most welcoming, dynamic and connected business community, the Caloundra Chamber was responsible for $389,440 in community investment in the 22/23 financial year. The chamber was also the driving force behind Caloundra’s recent Top Tourism Town win and

The chamber provides connection, information, inspiration and advocacy to unlock the abundance of opportunity in Caloundra. Exciting opportunities include a circa of $900 million in development earmarked for the region, including the Sunshine Coast Regional Art Gallery and the luxury coastal apartments of BIANCO, which formally commenced construction in July.

The development opportunities come with the release of the draft SEQ Regional Plan 2023. Currently open for feedback, the draft plan is essential to the Sunshine Coast’s future and sets the framework for how to support and

enhance our growing communities. The plan identifies a demand for almost 5000 hectares of additional industrial land across southeast Queensland and a need for almost 80,600 new dwellings for the Sunshine Coast’s 2046 population prediction (545,523).

Around 70 per cent of the Sunshine Coast’s predicted growth over the next 18 years will live south of the Mooloolah River, with Caloundra’s population expected to grow to 187,065 in 2046. During this exciting period of growth, the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce will strive to be the greatest creator of networks in our region and continue to advocate for the community and its businesses. Together we can harness population growth, attract investment and increase our region’s liveability.

With Brady Sullivan, CEO

Painting

a future

WORDS: Shirley Sinclair

The bug-eyed and shaggy emus looking out from the colourful acrylic paintings are as bemused about the world around them as their creator.

But the artist – former Caloundra City councillor Andrew Champion – and his comical flightless characters, have learnt to play the role of silent observer, taking in the big picture with perhaps just a shake of the head before moving on.

With his first paintings for sale in a local art gallery and others gracing walls from Noosa to Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh, Andrew and his signature emus have found their happy place.

And the stress of trying to fix things and deal with egos is now someone else’s job.

The curly-haired Bohemian type who saunters around the easel and partly completed works in the garage art studio in Caloundra bears little resemblance to the suit-and-tie former Kawana representative with a haircut more akin to his Royal Military College Duntroon days.

Back then, he was a boy in a hurry to change the world for the better.

As a 24-year-old, Andrew was the youngest person in Queensland to serve in local government when he was elected to the then Landsborough Shire Council in 1985.

Having established a building consultancy business in 1982, living in the Champion Homes display house on the Nicklin Way at Wurtulla, he had a long list of ideas to bolster business – among them, a police station, high school and hospital, more commercial enterprise to bring jobs to the area … even a golf course (his one unfulfilled project, so far). Maybe it was because he was seen as a mere whippersnapper who needed to know his place and pay his dues before he could garner full support.

Perhaps he was too vocal against the softly-softly approach of “this is how it’s always been done” in favour of asking those at the coalface: “Why not?”. Or he could have been just a little too ahead of his time.

Whatever the reasons, during two stretches of nine and 11 years in the council chambers, Andrew admits he was in a constant “fight or flight” mode.

The former elite athlete and surf lifesaver didn’t realise that to cope with the stress of the

job, his body was producing seriously high levels of adrenalin on a daily basis, eating away at his insides, over those 20 years of service.

While he tried to hide increasing symptoms, his health eventually paid the price – starting with ulcerative colitis and moving on to the more life-threatening perforated bowel and the onset of septicaemia.

Surgeons were forced to remove parts of his large intestine and bowel.

He has now developed Crohn’s disease – a chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.

“Being on the council on the Sunshine Coast, I was a bit like a duck out of water. It wasn’t really me,” the married father of two and grandfather of three confesses.

“I would have been probably better being a councillor down in Albury. But I guess when my brother (David) drowned, we moved up here so everyone wouldn’t feel sorry for us.

“I was 14 and he was 16 [when he drowned]. Our family had a big auto electrical business in Albury.

“Everybody knew the Champions and we had big contracts with the army. We had 10 or 12 auto electricians in the workshop.

“I used to go down there and help stack batteries on trucks when I was a kid after school and weekends and sweep the floor. I had that work ethic from a very young age.”

Art has been Andrew’s lifelong joy, starting with childhood drawings of the family’s pet cat, continuing during breaks from his council work and picking up momentum in more recent times in sketching homes and landscaping in project management.

Now it’s also therapeutic. Andrew has already sold pieces worth hundreds of dollars to friends and associates, and tapped into the Redbubble website that puts artworks on products such as T-shirts and coffee cups.

He even pictures himself as a cartoonist, combining creativity with his political mind.

“There’s so many things I can do as a satirist or cartoonist about [former prime minister Scott] Morrison and [current PM Anthony] Albanese, and I could comment on all the political stuff in Queensland with ‘Paddle Duck’ (Annastacia Palaszczuk).”

Andrew has been able to dedicate himself to his art full-time over the past 12 months.

And those endearing emus keep sticking their necks out to help him – whether holding umbrellas in a wet desert, walking down an endless road after a big weekend at the Birdsville Races or wondering why anyone would want to “own” the rights to the world’s largest monolith instead of simply enjoying its majesty.

Andrew’s art also gives a nod to artist Ken Maynard, whose outback Ettamogah Pub cartoons appeared regularly in Australasian Post from 1958.

Other works reflect his fascination for Ned Kelly, boyhood adventures around his family home, camping holidays and the scouting life in the great outdoors from age seven to the status of Queen’s Scout.

“As an artist we express what we see and what we feel from our heart and our emotions and our history.

“I’m so happy now. It’s stress-free but I’m productive. I can do what I want, whereas before I had to put a round peg in a round hole. I had to comply with all the legal requirements of process.

“With art, I’m not painting with my hands tied together.”

SEE HIS WORK

Andrew is the featured artist for the month of September at Talented Friends Gallery located at Shop 4, 8 Ormuz Avenue, Village Walkway, Caloundra. You can view and purchase his work there.

A window into creativity

We’re the best!

Our playground by the sea has beaten some heavy hitters to be crowned Queensland’s top tourism destination.

After an extensive judging process and public voting campaign, Caloundra was named the 2023 Queensland Top Tourism Town at an awards ceremony in June.

Caloundra’s key attractions including the natural wonders of the Pumicestone Passage and nearby Glass House Mountains, local eateries such as White Picket Fence and action-packed activities including Oceanview Helicopters grabbed the judges’ attention.

Caloundra Chamber CEO Brady Sullivan says the town has been a loved holiday destination for countless generations and he thanks the Sunshine Coast community for getting behind the “playground by the sea”.

“Being named Queensland’s Top Tourism Town is a huge drawcard for Caloundra.

“It gives a boost to the Sunshine Coast tourism industry and helps attract investment to our region.

A total of 20,000 votes were received for the seven shortlisted finalists including Bowen, Bundaberg, Redcliffe, Rockhampton, Tamborine Mountain and Townsville.

But with a plethora of attractions, Caloundra took out gold.

Presented by the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, the annual awards recognise outstanding regional destinations, honouring communities that demonstrate a commitment to visitor excellence.

Caloundra will now go on to represent Queensland at the national awards, where the town has the chance to be crowned the best in Australia.

Queensland Tourism Industry Council CEO Brett Fraser says he applauds Caloundra and the other award recipients for their success.

“Congratulations to Caloundra, Airlie Beach and Winton, and to all the finalists in this year’s awards,” he says.

“The Top Tourism Town Awards shine a light on Queensland’s regional gems and reward communities united in delivering

memorable holiday experiences.

“While attractions may drive guests to a destination, it is the warm welcome and meaningful customer service that has visitors leaving with a sense of wonderment.

“Congratulations to the winning communities for their remarkable efforts.”

The Queensland Top Tourism Town and Top Tour Guide Awards are made possible through the sponsorship of Racing Queensland and oOh!media.
