The Sunshine Coast is known as one of the most innovative regions in Australia and it’s no different when it comes to mental health. In what is a world first, local not-forprofit youth support organisation Youturn is rolling out a cutting-edge new virtual reality experience that has been designed to help alleviate depression and anxiety with very promising results. Candice Holznagel discovers the thinking behind the technology and how it aims to alleviate the increasing demands on our mental health industry (page 10). We also catch up with the finalists of this year’s Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network Awards in our special feature. As I read through the responses from each of the finalists, I was inspired and impressed by the challenges they have

each faced and overcome along their individual journeys to success. They also have some great words of advice to share when it comes to backing yourself and what it takes to be the best in your game. It’s a great read. We wish all the finalists the very best of luck. We also bring you our B2B section this week, packed with all the latest business news, advice and what’s on.

AGENDA

Conservation efforts start

Melbourne’s bandicoots, to forested bridges for Brisbane’s bush birds. Some gardeners in Bunbury even built their own backyard ‘possum bridges’ to help the endangered western ringtail possum in their neighbourhoods.

at home

5. PEOPLE POWER

While the state of the environment is grim, you can make a difference, and it starts in your own backyard. WORDS: Kylie Soanes, Postdoctoral Fellow, School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences, The University of Melbourne.

he newly released State of the Environment report paints a predictably grim picture. Species are in decline, ecosystems are at breaking point and threats abound. For many of us, it can feel like a problem that’s too big, too complex and too distant to solve. But this report also shows every Australian can be on the conservation frontline. We can save species in the places we live and work. According to the report, Australia’s cities and towns are home to more than 96 per cent of our population and 46 per cent of threatened species. We have mapped the occurrence of hundreds of threatened species in urban areas. We share our cities with iconic koalas, charming gang-gang cockatoos and floral wonders like Caley’s grevillea. And, as the report notes, some species are found only in urban areas – our cities and towns are the last chance to save them from extinction. What an incredible opportunity to reconnect Australians with our fantastic natural heritage and protect it at the same time.

Our research shows a huge appetite for saving nature in cities. Councils, industry and community groups all over the country are working to make change. Here are five things we can think about to improve the state of our city environments.

But what about the more unconventional spaces? We found city-dwelling species take advantage of roadsides, schoolyards, carpark gardens, railway stations and rooftops. These are all opportunities for us to make a little more space for nature in cities.

1. SMALL BUT MIGHTY

3. GRAND DESIGNS FOR WILDLIFE

Don’t have a lot of space? That’s okay! Whether it’s a small pond, garden strip or solitary gum tree, these often provide a key resource that isn’t found elsewhere in the nearby landscape. This means they pack a punch when it comes to supporting local nature. And resources like these all add up. Researchers found that a collection of small, urban grassland reserves supported more native plants, and rarer species, than just a few large reserves. So while making one small change might feel futile, it can make a big difference.

People aren’t the only ones facing a housing crisis – wildlife struggle too. The tree hollows, rock piles and fallen wood that many species call home are often removed in favour of sleek lines and tidy urban spaces. You can provide valuable real estate for local critters by adding nesting boxes, bee hotels and lizard lounges. And simply leaving a designated ‘messy patch’ in your garden improves the local habitat too.

2. EMBRACING THE ‘IN BETWEEN’ Conservation doesn’t just happen in nature reserves, which is good, because urban areas don’t have many. Backyards are already making huge contributions through ‘gardens for wildlife’ initiatives.

An innovative approach to hip and knee replacement

4. CREATIVE CONNECTIONS Moving safely through cities can be risky for wildlife. They have to navigate cars, fences, roaming pets and swathes of concrete. Many councils and road agencies are looking at creative ways to help wildlife get from A to B. Solutions range from rope bridges for western Sydney’s sugar gliders and tunnels for

Having threatened species live close to people is typically seen as bit of ‘negative’ in the conservation world. But this closeness can be an advantage if the community is aware and engaged. Orchids like the sunshine diuris and Frankston spider orchid would surely be extinct if not for countless hours of volunteer work, crowd-funding and the passion of the local community. Get involved through your local council or ‘Friends of’ groups to see how you can support nature in your neck of the woods. There are so many wonderful ways to support nature in cities. Recent examples include conservation goats saving native skinks, floating habitat rafts in city waterways and using flowerpots on concrete sea walls to support marine life. New ideas are being explored and tested all over the country. Right now, efforts to save nature in cities are driven by champions – individuals in our communities, local councils or industry – who see an opportunity to make a difference, no matter how small, and fight to make it happen. Imagine what we could achieve if more of us pitched in. So, look around. Can you add just one small patch? Contact your local council about turning a neglected roadside strip into a pollinator paradise. Or maybe set up a little B&B for wildlife in your backyard.

FAST FACTS

Do you remember? MP3 players

Did you know?

Fish rain!

The Queen has some hidden hideaways. Since the early 13th century, the City of London has officially paid rent to the Crown for two small pieces of property. The price has stayed the same for more than 800 years: one knife, one axe, six horseshoes and 61 nails. One of these properties is located in the moors in Shropshire and the other is near the Royal Courts of Justice in the city itself.

MP3 players are a technology that had a brief, shining moment in the spotlight. The very first model, MPMan F10, hit stores in 1998, and the entire category was declared essentially dead by 2012, thanks to the rise of the smartphone. There was perhaps no better signal that MP3s were actually obsolete than the fact that by 2014 Apple had discontinued most iPods, the product line that virtually defined the MP3 player. Even Steve Jobs understood this was happening – he once called the iPhone “the best iPod we’ve ever made”.

By the numbers Tornadoes can develop over water just as well as they can over land. When they do, they’re called ‘waterspouts’, and they suck up large amounts of lake or sea water, as well as whatever’s swimming in that water. If the waterspout travels on to the land and the winds decrease, there’s nowhere for those fish to go but down.

Looking For A New Mattress?

Don’t Get Ripped Off Discover what’s actually inside the mattress you’re thinking about buying... and how to get a luxury $6,000 mattress for less than $2,000 or a premium $1,200 mattress for less than $400 Many people feel overwhelmed when they walk into a mattress store. There are so many choices. The truth is, it’s designed to be that way. And it gets even worse when the ‘Mattress Consultant’ further bamboozles you with terms like micro-pocket coils and alternating coil technology. In this article, I’m going to expose the sneaky tricks that mattress manufactures and retail stores use to get you to pay thousands too much. I’m going to show you the most important things to look for in a new mattress (including the one question you must ask). And how to get a $6,000 mattress for less than $2,000 or a $1,200 mattress for less than $400. But ﬁrst...

I Have a Confession to Make My brother and I own 4 mattress stores in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, and a mattress factory at Sumner Park. So naturally, we’d love you to buy your mattress from us. But more than that, we want to make sure you get a mattress you’ll love - a genuinely highquality mattress that will last for years - without getting ripped oﬀ. You see, we meet people every day who are totally confused about mattresses. And people who feel disappointed (even angry) because they paid thousands for their last mattress and it has not lasted. So we’re on a mission to expose the industry scams. And it starts by telling you...

What’s Actually Inside the Mattress You’re Thinking About Buying The core of most mattresses is made from one of two types of springs. The ﬁrst type uses lengths of wire formed into hourglass shapes, connected by rows of spiral (helical) wire and held together by a wire hoop at the top and bottom. These are often called Bonnell Springs. But no matter what name mattress stores use, this traditional style of wire spring is essentially the same. In fact, most are made by one company and shipped in compressed form to mattress companies all around the world. The second type of spring is called a Pocket Spring. This is where each spring is wrapped in a thin layer of fabric and moves independently to minimize partner disturbance. Pocket Spring mattresses often come with heavier springs in the middle of the bed to give extra support for your hips (3 zone). Don’t be fooled by sales people who tell you 5 or 7 zones are better. This is just a gimmick to get you to pay more for a mattress. Likewise, don’t be fooled by people who tell you more springs are better. The more springs a mattress has, the smaller and thinner those springs have to be (and potentially weaker). But I suppose when someone is trying to sell you a $6,000 mattress, 4,000 springs sounds better than 1,000 even if it’s not true. Pocket Spring mattresses tend to cost a little more than Bonnell Spring Mattresses but oﬀer a genuine advantage in terms of less partner disturbance.

What About Edge Support In order to maintain support right to the edges, an extra piece of wire can be connected to the top and bottom hoops of a Bonnell Spring mattress and a strong foam box can be added to a Pocket Spring Mattress. Edge supports add genuine beneﬁt because they allow you to sleep or sit right on the edge of the bed without the side collapsing. Edge supports should add around $100 to the price of a Bonnell Spring mattress and around $200 to the price of a Pocket Spring mattress depending if the support goes all the way around or if it is just added to the sides.

What’s on Top Of The Springs? Most mattresses have a layer of felt directly on top of the springs. But many manufacturers skimp by using very thin felt or only putting felt on one side of the springs. We use

09.indd 1

heavy grade felt that provides a solid base for comfort layers. On top of the felt you’ll ﬁnd a variety of comfort layers - usually a combination of foam or latex and sometimes other natural materials like wool. This is by far the most expensive part of a mattress and the reason luxury mattresses cost more. But don’t be fooled. No matter what type of foam or latex (or what fancy name a manufacturer gives their comfort layers), it should never add thousands to the price of a mattress.

The Truth About Different Foams Listen carefully because this is one of the most important things you need to know when choosing a mattress. The type of foam used in a mattress will not only affect its feel, it will significantly affect the longevity of the mattress. Foams are measured in two ways. Firstly there is the feel- hard or soft. Then there is the density - high or low. The feel is what makes one mattress appear plush and another firm. The density is what makes one foam last longer than another. You can get a soft mattress in low or high density. Density does not affect the feel. But it will make a big difference to how long your mattress will last. Density is what costs the money. So before you buy a mattress, be sure to ask about the density of the foams inside. The first layer (on top of the felt) is usually the lowest density (2025kg/m2 is usually fine for this layer). But many manufacturers continue to use low density (20kg/m2 or lower) for the top comfort layer. While you won’t notice this when you first feel your new mattress, it will become obvious as the foam breaks down and you end up sleeping in a hollow (sometimes as quickly as just a few months).

What About Memory and Gel Foams? Memory foam is a term used to describe foams that have a slow ‘bounce’. In other words, once depressed, they take a few seconds to regain their original shape. Gel foam is a term used to describe foam that is infused with a special gel substance. Both memory and gel foams feel similar to touch. But because some people complain memory foams are hot to sleep on (due to the fact you tend to sink into the foam more), the addition of gel particles encourages air ﬂow and a cooler sleeping surface. Although used as a marketing gimmick by many manufacturers, we do see some beneﬁt in using gel infused memory foam if you tend to feel hot when you sleep.

What About Latex? Unlike memory foam that has a slow ‘bounce’ latex returns to its original shape very quickly. This doesn’t mean latex feels hard to sleep on. Quite the contrary, latex has quite a plush feel. But unlike memory foam which causes you to sink into the bed, latex supports you on the surface.

What’s About Pillow Top? The term pillow top refers to the extra comfort layers usually only on one side of the mattress. This provides an extra soft sleeping surface for those who like a plush feel. Once again, the most important thing is what is inside the pillow top - namely, the density of foam. A low density foam may feel luxurious at ﬁrst, but as it breaks down you may feel like you are sleeping in a hollow.

manufacturing while charging more. A mattress that can be ﬂipped will generally last twice as long as a single side mattress (provided you do actually ﬂip it).

What About The Plush Top? Some people like the look and feel of the ‘cloud-like’ comfort layers incorporated into the quilting of some mattresses. The problem is, this layer usually flattens quickly. Some salespeople say, “Your mattress will settle and mould to your body shape over time.” The truth is, the fluffy quilting is simply getting flat. We advise against plush quilting because if you like the plush feel, you will soon be disappointed as the quilting flattens. If you do like a particularly soft surface layer, we recommend inserting a thin layer of high density memory foam in the quilting.

What About Mattresses That Cost $3000, $5000 and Even $10,000? As you now know, the internal components of most mattresses are pretty much the same. And the most important part is the comfort layers (i.e. the density\quality of the foam). But no matter what fancy names are given to a mattress or it’s components -including terms relating to the type or number or springs - if you’re paying $6,000 for a mattress, we think you are being ripped oﬀ.

Summary and Special Offer Want to get a $6,000 mattress for $2,000? Our Luxury Heaven mattress is equivalent or better than most big brand $6,000 mattresses and includes a dual spring system with pocket coils, full foam box support on all sides, extra-thick felt padding, and 5cm of natural latex and premium quality quilting. If you prefer a cheaper mattress, our sensor comfort mattress is equivalent or better than most big-brand$1,200 mattresses and includes Bonnell Springs, ﬁrm side supports on all sides, extra thick felt padding and a generous amount of high density foam.

What about Non-Flip Mattresses? In some ways, this is another industry gimmick. The fact that most people don’t like to ﬂip their mattress each month has lead manufacturers to say things like ‘non-ﬂip technology’. What this really means is that the mattress only has comfort layers on one side. So in a way, this has enabled manufacturers to save money on

COVER STORY

A NEW WAY TO SEE THE FUTURE Our young people are experiencing worrying levels of mental ill health, but an initiative that uses technology to treat a range of disorders is showing positive signs, and the tech is available here on the Sunshine Coast.

weet birdsong floats softly by as a gentle wave of cool air tickles your face. Escaping reality has never been easy, but this beautiful winter wonderland, enveloping you in a comforting hug, provides the mind and soul with much-needed respite. As you hesitantly close the door on this magical vista, you will find yourself eager to discover what is next on this unique globe-trotting journey. Another turn of the door handle and you’re in the belly of a tropical jungle. Oversized green leaves form a canopy above and you spy the blue sky peeking through the thick vegetation. Psychological studies regularly highlight the powerful effect the natural environment has on the mind. The ‘biophilia hypothesis’ centres on the observation that a connection with the planet’s natural state – the sound of running water, the sensation of earth underfoot – assists in stress reduction, and improves mental wellbeing overall. To free the mind of burden simply by stepping through a door is the ultimate gift for people living with depression, anxiety, sensory overload or autism.

Welcome to the Edge of the Present – a virtual reality (VR) environment for mental heath that is being rolled out in community regions in a world-first initiative. It’s first stop is right here on the Sunshine Coast. Edge of the Present (EOTP), is an innovative and powerful non-therapeutic tool designed as a 10-minute experience, where users are invited to explore multiple spectacular landscapes using mixed-reality software, with the aim of improving mood, wellbeing and positive future thinking. Through these embodied virtual explorations, the user learns that openness and curiosity lead to positively reinforcing experiences which can enrich their internal space. The installation project, funded by the Suicide Prevention Research Fund, was developed for The Big Anxiety Festival in 2019 and created by University of New South Wales Scientia Professor Jill Bennett and supported by Professor Katherine Boydell from the Black Dog Institute. “This research is the first to assess the effectiveness of such an immersive mixed-reality experience as an intervention for depression and hopelessness. It does so by rapidly increasing positive mood and stimulating positive future thinking,” Prof

“The challenges that … young people face are unprecedented and uniquely hard to navigate” Tanya Bell, Youturn

Bennett says. The experience aims to cultivate the capacity for future thinking by encouraging positive actions that are rewarded in an instant feedback loop. “The experience is not just a passive one but involves the user making choices to

open doors and windows… each choice is rewarded by positive sensation. So, for example, you open a door and feel the breeze on your face, or step out into the warmth of a sun-baked meadow. “On the one hand it’s relentlessly positive. There are all these beautiful scenes, it’s impossible not to like. But on the other hand, it’s important that the user has agency and that this very positive sensation, and this amazingly beautiful resplendent scene, is coming as a result of your direct action.” The EOTP VR equipment is available until the end of September free of charge to the community thanks to local not-forprofit mental health organisation Youturn. The Youturn team works with young people cross a range of issues including child safety, suicide prevention and homelessness. Youturn CEO Dr Tanya Bell says the program presents an innovative solution to help support young people. “Young people are less likely than any other age group to seek professional help,” Dr Bell says. “At times young people struggle with traditional talk therapy methods in a typical clinical environment. myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY “Sitting face to face with a stranger in a small room to discuss deeply emotional and personal issues can be confronting and difficult and as a result young people are less likely than any other age group to seek professional help. “Many young men in particular are dissuaded to seek help, but we believe that the EOTP has enormous potential for those who are typically comfortable with technology and gaming.” Funding EOTP for three months was a no brainer, adds Youturn spokeswoman Antoinette Lloyd. “We run five headspace centres across the southeast and there is so much demand. We seek innovative ways to support… and complement what we offer at headspace. “As a mother, I know that people are hesitant when it comes to children using technology too much. The reality is our young people are comfortable with it and this can help them by displaying these beautiful scenes that encourage them to go out and explore. “I witnessed two teen boys living with autism who came through and used the VR. One of the boys had high sensory issues. Within 30 seconds of starting the VR, his whole body relaxed. Until then, I myself hadn’t appreciated how quickly it could work. It provides an innovative solution for young people while they wait for therapy appointments.” The nation’s 2021 census revealed one-third of Australians have a diagnosed long-term health condition, with mental health issues surpassing every other chronic illness. As revealed recently by Sunshine Coast News, during the 12 months between January 2021 and January 2022, almost 8000 people presented to the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service in relation to mental health concerns. Of these, almost 1100 (which equates to 91 people per month) were aged 18 years and under. In addition, 200 young people a month were being referred to the Mental Health Department, according to Wishlist Sunshine Coast Hospital Foundation.

THE DETAILS To help: Youturn’s mental health programs include five busy headspace centres across southeast Queensland, which provide early intervention services to people between 12 and 25 years. To support its work, and to help make VR a permanent reality, visit youturn.org.au/how-you-can-help. To participate: The Edge of the Present experience is free of charge and available for people of any age. To book your session, visit youturn.org. au/i-see-a-brighter -future. Peak mental health body Beyond Blue reports that half of all mental health conditions experienced start by age 14. More than 75 per cent of these conditions occur before the age of 25. Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians between the ages of 15 and 44 and statistics from the Australian Psychological Society (APS) show that one in four young Australians thought about suicide over the past two years. A survey from the APS shows that one in three psychologists have been forced to close their books to new patients due to the overwhelming demand. Three in four have a waiting list, and clients are waiting between three to six months for an appointment. Before the pandemic, only one in 100 psychologists were not taking new clients, according to the APS. “Around Australia, including the Sunshine Coast, people are experiencing substantial difficulties in accessing timely mental health care with demand growing and waiting lists expanding,” Dr Bell says. “The challenges that today’s generation of young people face are unprecedented and uniquely hard to navigate. And the effect these challenges have had on their mental health is devastating. “We have noticed a significant increase in demand for mental health support services with young people reporting feeling anxious, unsupported or disconnected with feelings of isolation.

“The rental crisis on the Sunshine Coast has been another major impact on the mental health of young people, who report heightened anxiety about living arrangements, loss of work/shifts and the uncertainty around travel and seeing family.” “Early intervention and prioritising access to appropriate mental health support and programs is key. The sooner that people take action to get support for their mental health, the more likely it is to be effective.” The Youturn team is fundraising for additional tools and solutions to help alleviate the demand. One of these solutions will be the construction of permanent VR rooms at the organisation’s five headspace centres. “We have earmarked $80,000 to do the rooms,” Youturn’s Antoinette Lloyd says. “Instead of the headsets, participants will use the VR glasses. “The next version should be coming out in February and we are working with them to have that available.”

MENTAL HEALTH: The reality One in six Australians have experienced suicidal thoughts or behaviours in their lifetime and more than two in five have had a mental health disorder. These findings are part of a comprehensive study undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Australians aged 16 to 85 were surveyed and for the first time, the research gathered data from people on their lived experiences with suicide, self harm and binge eating. It found almost two in five had been close to someone who had died by or attempted suicide. In 2020/21, one in five people experienced a mental health disorder, with anxiety most common. Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Mental Health Ruth Vine says the survey will hopefully help show people they are not alone and can seek help. “It reinforces that … many of us will know a person who has struggled and who has recovered and even grown in some ways through that experience,” she says. The study found nearly 40 per cent of 16- to 24-year-olds experienced mental ill-health in 2020/21. The National Mental Health Commission says the findings are deeply worrying and the data highlights areas that require immediate action and improvement -AAP

STUDENT INNOVATORS’ WINNING IDEA

TACKLING RACISM TOGETHER

The 2022 Mayor’s Telstra Innovation Awards have been handed out to local high schoolers. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa and Adison Clarke.

A new campaign asks all Sunshine Coast residents to identify and challenge racism in the region. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

Shine a Light on Racism patron Walters Nkemfack Suncoast Christian College school coordinator Adam King with students Alaya Page, Tayah Allison and Chloe Lever

team of students has come up with a clever solution to prevent injuries from swooping magpies as part of a Sunshine Coast innovation challenge. The all-female Suncoast Christian College team won the 2022 Mayor’s Telstra Innovation Awards for their Bird Bell idea. The annual awards invite high school students from across the region to develop business ideas that use innovation or technology in a new way to solve a community, environmental or business challenge. It has a particular focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as STEM subjects. Tayah Allison, Chloe Lever and Alaya Page from Suncoast Christian College created the winning submission, a discreet bird deterrent that attaches to the handlebars of a bike. It emits a high frequency, undetected by the human ear, to deter swopping birds and is an alternative to the common hack of attaching cable ties to a helmet. The inspiration for the Bird Bell came to life from Chloe’s brother’s experience falling off his bike and injuring himself after being swooped by a magpie. Tayah says originally the team looked at the concept of designing fashionable yet practical helmets. “We soon discovered that birds are deterred with high frequencies, so we considered adding a device to helmets that would emit high-frequency waves. “In the process of ideation, we considered impacts on health of having something buzzing near your ear. “We then planned towards the device

not being attached to helmets but attaching the model to the handlebars of bikes.” Alaya says the team now hopes to undertake further research to fine tune the device and present it to potential investors. “We need to conduct further testing to validate our findings and look forward to conducting research in the season of spring when birds are most active. “We seek investment by companies to see our idea come to market.” As overall winners, the Suncoast Christian College students will receive an exclusive ‘money can’t buy’ mentoring experience – a first for the awards. The winners will work with Gary Swanepoel from the Start-up Precinct to join his new Young Starters Launch Program. Three other teams have also been successful in their innovation designs, with Amy Morrison, Tyler Cuttill and Bethany Slocombe from Matthew Flinders Anglican College taking out second place for their Orbital Caddy concept. This is a rotating shelf system designed for people with reduced movement or reach. Grace Murray, Amitis Rezazadeh and Eleanor Dean from Chancellor State College came in third for their concept, Peas in Pods, which provides safe and compact modular-style houses for those in need of temporary accommodation. The Emerging Entrepreneur Award went to Glasshouse Christian College student Jared Moss for a gamification app that educates and connects newly diagnosed youth with type 1 diabetes.

new initiative is launching on the Sunshine Coast to acknowledge the regions’ multicultural diversity and break down racism barriers. The local community is being urged to stand together and shine a light on racism through the new anti-racism campaign. One in five people living on the Coast is born overseas, and Shine a Light on Racism is a Sunshine Coast Council-led movement that will ignite difficult conversations and generate community accountability. The campaign asks the community to #DoTheWork and upload their pledge to anti-racism, educate others to better understand and address racism and engage with campaign patrons. It focuses on the notion that it is not enough to say, ‘I am not racist’ and that being ‘anti-racist’ is a commitment to opposing racism in all forms and becoming an ally to someone who faces racism. Shine a Light on Racism patron and Sunshine Coast Multicultural Advisory Group member Walters Nkemfack says the campaign is crucial. As a committee member of African Diaspora Sunshine Coast, he says the announcement also has deep personal connections. “I am excited for this campaign to shine a light on the impact that everyday racism has on members of our community,” Mr Nkemfack says. “The consequences of racism run deep and can have devastating impacts on individuals and their communities. “The tolerance of small, everyday microaggressions or when people say ‘that’s not racist’ is damaging and exhausting. I am hopeful this campaign will contribute to eliminating all forms of racism, so everyone can feel safe, equal and valued.”

Mayor Mark Jamieson strongly supports the Shine a Light on Racism campaign. “The Sunshine Coast has diverse and rich First Nations and multicultural populations and it’s really important that each and every one of us is welcoming and respectful to others, irrespective of background,” he says. “It’s an uncomfortable conversation to have, but we all have a responsibility to ensure our region … remains rich and diverse and everyone can feel safe from discrimination.” He says the campaign will feature freely available and unbranded marketing content, posters and videos to generate widespread community awareness on the importance of being proudly anti-racist.

BY THE NUMBERS • Nearly 6000 people identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander on the Sunshine Coast. • One in five people on the Sunshine Coast was born overseas. • More than 45 different faiths are practised on the Sunshine Coast. • More than 150 different languages are spoken on the Sunshine Coast and nearly 20 per cent of Australians speak a language other than English at home. • 20 per cent of Australians have experienced racial or religious discrimination in the past 12 months. • 86 per cent of Australians support action to tackle racism. • One in three (35 per cent) of recent migrants say they face hurdles in finding their first job. myweeklypreview.com.au

Maroochy RSL on June 20, 1972

MARKING 90 YEARS OF MATESHIP AND SUPPORT A Sunshine Coast community club is celebrating 90 years of supporting veterans, volunteers and organisations across the Maroochydore region. Established in 1932, the Maroochy RSL Sub Branch is built on the ANZAC traditions of mateship, courage, loyalty and sacrifice of past and present service men and women. Branch meetings were initially held in private homes or public meeting places before a Soldiers Memorial Hall was built on Memorial Avenue. In 1972, the Maroochy RSL – originally known as the Maroochydore and District Ex-Services Club – was established on the same land as the memorial hall. This was a social venue with the sub

branch operating as a separate entity. In 2012 the services club and sub branch amalgamated. To mark its 90-year anniversary, Maroochy RSL will hold a black-tie gala event on July 30. “It will be a night of remembrance featuring the 50-piece Australian Naval Band, and a display of historical photographs telling the incredible journey of the last 90 years of Maroochy RSL,” Maroochy RSL CEO Clare Paton says. “We will reminisce about what it has meant to all involved and future plans for veteran support and advocacy into the years beyond.” Tickets to the gala are available at maroochyrsl.com.au.

CALOUNDRA STREET FAIR CELEBRATES 20 YEARS

A Local

news Adrian Martin’s Year 12 form class with Oak the labrador

SCHOOL’S IN FOR OAK Service-dog-in-training Oak is winning hearts at Sunshine Coast Grammar School. WORDS: Adison Clarke.

unshine Coast Grammar School students’ days are made a little brighter when a lovable labrador comes to visit. Oak is a two-and-a-half-year-old labrador that is in training to service Career Dogs Australia. He is currently in the foster care of SCGS teacher Adrian Martin and as part of his training, Oak is introduced to different environments and people – and the school is a great place for that. Mr Martin began fostering dogs for various service organisations on the Sunshine Coast 10 years ago and hasn’t looked back since. The popular senior maths teacher is now fostering with Career Dogs Australia, which acts as a breeding organisation for service dog companies from as far as Japan and Canada. Oak has been with Mr Martin for two years and will go on to become a breeding dog that Career Dogs Australia will use to breed more dogs for its organisation. Mr Martin’s goal is to ensure the dog maintains a gentle demeanour, good behaviour and can be comfortable in different environments. He says a school is the perfect place to allow Oak to mingle safety with humans and navigate a crowded environment full of different smells and sounds. Fortunately, this four-legged fury friend loves the students, and the students absolutely adore him. “Oak loves it; he loves the attention he gets,” Mr Martin says.

“I have students that I don’t actually teach, and they come in, say hi in the mornings and give Oak lots of love. “When I teach lessons, he’s free to roam around, lie down next to someone or by their feet.” Students also enjoy taking Oak on walks during morning tea and lunchtime. Oak also participates in the school cross country and while he may not take the win, he does win the hearts of the school community. Mr Martin says Oak makes a positive contribution to the classroom and improves the mood of students. “Having Oak in the classroom is very positive,” he says. “The students tend to perform better, work better and respond better.” School captain Fynn Van den Brenk, who is in Mr Martin’s year 12 maths class, says Oak is the perfect study buddy and makes everyone smile. “I have been extremely fortunate to have Oak in maths and he never fails to put a smile on anyone’s face,” Fynn says. “He loves sitting under our desks and is great company while working.” Oak often attends his official training in Brisbane and Mr Martins says the students miss him when he is not in the classroom. “When Oak goes away students always ask where he is; they definitely notice when he’s not there,” he says. It’s safe to say Oak is going to be largely missed when he goes on to fulfil his purpose of being a breeding dog.

popular Sunshine Coast market is celebrating two decades of supporting the region’s small business community. Attracting thousands of eager marketgoers each Sunday since 2002, Caloundra Street Fair is one of the community’s longest running markets. Visitors enjoy roaming acts, live entertainment, unique products, artisan stalls and street food. As a stallholder for nine years, Ocean Art Photography owner Karl Angell credits much of his business growth to his involvement with the markets. “The markets were the stepping stones to growth,” he says. “I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be selling the amount that I am at the markets.” From his market success Mr Angell has gone on to open his own gallery and develop an interstate customer base. Caloundra Chamber of Commerce president Michael Shadforth says the chamber is proud to be involved in the thriving small business community in Caloundra. “The markets have been an amazing incubator for many successful businesses on the Sunshine Coast over the past 20 years,” he says. “People get an opportunity to start and grow their business into something far greater at the markets.” Caloundra Markets manager Alori Gapes says the ‘shop local’ culture at the

I want to help people with a disability have access to participate equitably in community

Caloundra Chamber of Commerce CEO Brady Sullivan and Caloundra Street Fair manager Alori Gapes markets provides a platform for stallholders to reach and engage with a range of customers. “It’s getting harder and harder for small business to get out there, especially when competing with big retail stores, so shopping small is more important than ever,” she says. “COVID revealed how important local and small businesses are to our economy and the markets really help showcase young entrepreneurs. “It’s also more sustainable and better for your local area to shop at the markets.” Find Caloundra Street Fair on Facebook.

NAMBOUR POLICE STATION REOPENS The hinterland town’s original police station is now back in operation after a much-needed upgrade.

historical hinterland police station is set to service the Nambour community again after a long-awaited upgrade. The new $8.3 million purpose-built Nambour Police Station is now officially open at 170 Currie Street. Policing needs outgrew the original 1960s building back in 2006 and police have been operating out of a temporary building since then. In 2020 the station began its eagerly anticipated makeover. The new station will include 30 police officers, plus six marked police vehicles, two unmarked crime services vehicles and two forensic crash vehicles with drone capability. The facility will also house multiple police units including the region’s highway patrol group, forensic crash unit, district criminal investigation branch, district child investigation unit and the district intelligence unit. Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers says it is crucial to have modern facilities and equipment for police to perform at their best.

FLIGHT SIMULATOR ARRIVES AT LOCAL AERO CLUB A local aviation hub is allowing pilots, trainees and the public to ‘fly’ around the world without leaving the ground.

Students can practise their regular flights or members

“The Sunshine Coast is one of our busiest regions and the new up-to-date facilities at Nambour will play a key role in ensuring the safety if residents, businesses and visitors,” he says. Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll says the opening of the new station

demonstrates the Queensland Police Service’s commitment to the region. “This new station has been built fit for purpose and will deliver professional policing services to meet the complex demands of a dynamic, diverse and thriving community.”

of the public can simply load up an airport, including JFK Airport at New York for fun. Club chief flying Instructor John Johnson says the simulator is providing club members with plenty of benefits. “It is an amazing way to learn in a safe and controlled environment for a fraction of the cost of the real thing,” he says. “The best thing about having a simulator is that we can simulate conditions that would be impractical or even dangerous to perform in

an actual aircraft. This improves the student’s aeronautical decision-making skills, making safer and more competent pilots.” The aero club specialises in training new pilots in light sports aircraft alongside medium passenger jets, in controlled airspace. The clubhouse is open from 4.30pm every Friday for bar snacks, drinks, a game of pool and plane spotting. Visit sunshinecoastaeroclub.com.au

The long-awaited shortcut between Caloundra and the Bruce Highway that could slice up to 15 minutes off the drive to Brisbane has reached a major milestone. Work on the $70 million Bells Creek Arterial Road has taken a step forward with the completion of two new bridges. The 11-kilometre link is now connected over the creek and the focus will turn to the southern connection for residents in Bells Creek. It’s anticipated the new road, which will provide direct access to Aura, will be completed by June 2023, subject to weather conditions. Currently, all southbound drivers are forced to battle Caloundra Road, which has become increasingly congested. The road is funded 50-50 between the state government and Aura developers Stockland. Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt says work is also starting on an overpass of Bells Creek Arterial Road to make crossing safer for people walking and riding to Baringa and Nirimba.

MY OPINION

MASKING THE DIRE PROBLEM

OUT OF SERVICE

Jane Stephens wonders why our leaders refuse to reconsider mandating one simple protection against the growing pandemic fall-out.

After dealing with the government and big business, Ashley Robinson is left wondering what happened to customer service.

ur resistance to mask wearing has me stumped. Our legislators’ and leaders’ resistance to telling us we must wear them has me even more perplexed. Masks don’t hurt or cost much. They are a simple way to help slow the spread of a horrible, insidious disease that is causing new kinds of trouble. Simply, they protect those around us from catching the virus from us. And even if we don’t love them, why so much resistance? COVID-19 is on the march. A new variant has wormed its way in and the 50,000 people on the Sunshine Coast who have already had it are at risk again. People are getting sick – in greater numbers than even at the so-called height of the pandemic. People are still dying. So why are we not trying to protect ourselves and those we love? Why are our chief health officer (CHO) and political leaders stopping short of mandating masks again and instead talking loads about personal responsibility? Our CHO said last week: “The future is not about public health measures and

public health mandates.” But surely it is. We have been told that we are all going to be infected with or directly affected by COVID in the coming days and weeks. But no one seems to be listening. I am one of few faces masked up on my bus to work, at the supermarket and my favourite cafe. One group that does mask up is the health sector: those workers know how nasty this virus can be and how stretched the hospitals and systems are. They know we need to try to slow the rate of infection. Things are dire out there. When public transport services are limited because so many drivers are sick, when surgeries are put off because there are insufficient staff to care for a patient, when sports events are cancelled and when airports grind to a halt because so many staff are ill, we have to do something different. In The Dark Knight Rises, Batman advises a police officer who works alone to wear a mask. The policeman says he is not afraid to show his face. Batman replies: “The mask is not for you. It’s to protect the people you care about.” Surely, this is one of the most underused lines of the pandemic.

hat have that pompous head of that once-famous airline, our major banks, the government of the time and a major communications company got in common? Maybe I should change that question to what should they all be charged with by the Australian people? Negligence springs to mind, maybe subterfuge, deceit used in order to achieve one’s goal? I am talking about service, or lack of it. It has happened to me, old mate and a couple of work colleagues over the last few weeks when you ring any of the above for assistance, get put on hold, tell your story to someone who is clearly struggling, who puts you through to next poor soul who is also struggling. Eventually you get put through to someone who disconnects, accidentally of course. I rang the government trying to sort myGov, which should be changed to My Pain in the Arse, and in the same week tried to challenge a fraudulent transaction on my credit card and got the same result on both – a big fat donut. A few hours of my life that I am never getting back.

The bank issue is ongoing – two people couldn’t help me, so I went online like they told me and emailed the little box that popped up and told my tale of woe, only to be chatted back to by the robo helper to tell me to take it down as it’s my personal details. What the…? The final straw was when old mate tried to replace our home phone via the carrier who again after two days told her to go to a retailer, so I got sent, of course. I was greeted at the door with the news of how long I needed to wait to see a human. He also told me if I didn’t want to wait, and basically home phones were nearly extinct, I could try an electronics retailer. I tried that, thought I had found the right thing but was told I had to buy two phones not one to make it all work with the modem. I suggested that to headquarters and got yelled at. I won’t go into any further detail apart about this. It is not the staff’s fault – its owners and shareholders and razor gangs, they are the problem. Take me back to the days when you could actually talk to someone and get help. But apparently we are better off, which to me is deception in plain sight.

MY OPINION

THE JOY OF BEING A HOMEBODY Sami Muirhead fears she may never step outside the house again on a Friday night and that’s just fine.

eople suffer FOMO (the fear of missing out), but I am at the queen of JOMO (joy of missing out). I am happiest at home on a Friday night in my pyjamas with dogs, kids and wine all around me. But I pushed my own limits and went to an Asian restaurant to say farewell to a gorgeous workmate who is moving on to a new job. The night was going well until I decided to eat some edamame beans that were on a plate in front of my friend, Mia. It was one of those situations where one person ordered heaps of food and we all shared. The boss was paying so there really were heaps of delicacies! Edamame beans are those Japanese stringy beans covered in oil and chilli that you pop in your mouth and squeeze or bite the beans from the pod. The bit that is left is the stringy carcass that is so tough; you do not eat it. I popped one in my mouth and was thinking how tough it was when I realised I was eating from the scraps plate. The edamame had been in Mia’s mouth. I was pashing Mia via the green bean. Dry retching, I grabbed the beer

from the bloke sitting next to me and had a swig. Then I realised I then had consumed his backwash. Of course, the bloke next to me is the loudest person at work and announced to the entire restaurant that I had put the sucked-out edamame bean in my mouth. Everyone thought it was a real crack-up. I just wanted the ground to swallow me up. The last time I was so embarrassed was not that long ago. This time, I was out celebrating a friend’s special birthday. I was dressed to the nines with all my best bling on, clutching my evening bag and wearing my dressiest high heels. The girls went to a pond to cool our feet in the water. I kicked off my heels and stepped down into the pond. But there was no step. I just completely disappeared under the water that had been sitting there stagnate for years. I hauled my wet, sorry self out of that pond and just wanted the ground to swallow me up. So, the moral of the story is perhaps just to stay home on a Friday night. You can get yourself in far less trouble.

BOUNDING AHEAD IN PREP AT KWSC

APPLY NOW FOR SPORT AND MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS AT FLINDERS

o you know a student with a passion for sport or music, who is keen to develop his or her skills? Leading independent school Matthew Flinders Anglican College is inviting talented students who want to reach their potential and make their schooling years count to apply for Sport and Music Scholarships. Applications are due by Monday, August 22. The scholarships are open to students entering Years seven to 12 in 2023. The program requires applicants to demonstrate outstanding talent, along with sound academic ability and a willingness to contribute positively to the college community. Students who apply and are not currently enrolled at the college can also be considered for the Principal’s Scholarship. Students’ sporting development is nurtured at the college through a range of curriculum, co-curricular and enrichment programs, including the Flinders Elite Athlete

Program that provides tailored sports and academic mentoring to eligible student athletes. An elite sports training program is also offered on campus as a new partnership between Flinders and the Sunshine Coast Sports Institute. Students are expertly guided by the Flinders directors of coaching across the sports of basketball, cricket, hockey, netball, rugby, soccer, touch football, volleyball and water polo. Passionate musicians in the Secondary School have the Middle School Music Edge Extension Program in Years eight and nine and the Senior School Extension Music curriculum to explore, plus the highly regarded Music Band program with a range of bands and ensembles. Flinders provides a quality education for its 1380 students from Prep to Year 12 and offers extensive co-curricular opportunities in a caring environment.

To learn more and apply for Sport and Music Scholarships, visit mfac.edu.au.

A new and exciting opportunity exists for Kindy children considering enrolment in Prep at Kawana Waters State College (KWSC) in 2023. This vibrant college has launched its Pre-Prep Enrichment Program called the Wolbai Mari (‘Joey’) Program. Children participating in the program will ‘bound ahead’ in exploring science, arts, wellbeing, Indigenous perspectives, Japanese culture and robotics. “This program strengthens the wonderful and focused work that occurs in our Prep classrooms,” Early Years coordinator Nicky Dodd says. “The college is very proud of its Prep Program, which combines quality focused learning with the value of learning through play. The Primary Campus has a wonderful purpose-built nature playground exclusively for Prep children, which is often filled with an unofficial playgroup of children and parents of an afternoon.” KWSC is a diverse school community, big enough to provide wonderful opportunities but small enough that every child is really ‘known’. Deputy principal Lyn Duffy says: “It is this individualised approach that really makes us stand out. Every teacher really understands the children in their care and works so professionally to not only meet their needs but extend them.” Children entering Prep in 2023 can visit the college this year with a range of school tour and Prep interview offerings, the annual Book Week Parade on August 26.

For Prep enrolment inquiries or to book a spot in the Wolbai Mari Enrichment Program, contact Nat Cronon on 5436 9320 in the Primary Campus Administration.

NAMBOUR’S YOUNG PINNACLE PROGRAM ENRICHES LEARNING Nambour State College’s (NSC) prestigious Young Pinnacle Program is igniting passion and interest among primary school students from all over the Sunshine Coast. The program, which provides enrichment and early high school transition opportunities for highly motivated students, ran another two Young Pinnacle immersion days with Year five and Year six students last term. A group of enthusiastic Year five students from a variety of schools met at the college to explore four of their

Pinnacle strands: athletes, creatives, scholars and change makers. It was an action-packed day filled with rich learning experiences and some serious fun. By the end of the day, the Year fives were incredibly excited about the prospect of exploring their Pinnacle options further, knowing that they will spend hours at the farm as young cultivators and time navigating the digital world as young innovators in term three. Two weeks later, NSC hosted Year six Pinnacles who spent half of their day as young cultivators and the other half as young creators. Getting up close and personal with the farm animals was a huge hit among the students. On the whole, this in-depth exploration of the Pinnacle strands enabled future NSC students to have a better understanding of what passion area they would like to apply for prior to arriving in Year seven. Applications for 2023’s Young Pinnacle Program are now open for students who will be in Year five and six. Students from all schools are invited to apply for the pathway program. NSC is excited for its next immersion days, with preparations well underway.

SIENA FOCUSES ON THE WHOLE STUDENT TO INSPIRE GREAT FUTURES If schools are essentially all the same, why is it so difficult to make the right choice for our children? The decision is a hard one because each of our children is unique. So, choosing a school – where your child will spend one-third of their life between Monday and Friday – is no small thing. The move into Year 11 is commonly considered the ‘serious’ part of secondary school. Young people are starting to envision their post-school lives. They start to develop their career identities and begin a process of selfclarification as they discern what they like and are good at when it comes to school. Young people need the right kind of

environment that lets them dream with their eyes open and receive encouragement and support to propel them into their future, while being offered diverse opportunities to explore the multiple pathways available to them. Siena Catholic College not only offers our Year 11 students a wide range of subjects suitable for university, a traineeship or apprenticeship, it also provides an environment where students can form in their minds the concept of conscientious and responsible adulthood. The college focuses on the whole person: the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical. It does not narrowly define the idea of a successful student merely by where they are placed on a league table or flashy infographic. The college wants students to understand and experience success in ways which are broadly conceived, and discover things about themselves that other schools leave unilluminated. That is part and parcel of a Catholic educational philosophy: when God is the creator of all life, then there are no limits on what ‘great’ can look like. WORDS: Dr Michael McCarthy Principal, Siena Catholic College.

FOUNDATIONS LAID FOR NEW PREP PRECINCT AT GRAMMAR Sunshine Coast Grammar School has laid the foundations for a new Primary precinct, with stage one, the Early Years, due to open later this year. “We are creating a place where curiosity and collaboration come together,” says Paul Clegg, the school’s head of primary. “We believe that behind teachers and families, physical spaces hold the potential to influence what and how children learn.” Discussions between the architects and Grammar staff enabled the teachers to have a voice. By liaising with a sensory landscape team, the Grammar staff could share their deep understanding of how children think, question and explore. The idea to create an outdoor inquiry journey with fluid, interconnected spaces, providing a place conducive to learning, was unanimous. The new Early Years precinct explores relationships of space, light and shape within its modern architecture. Its curved structure can be likened to an eye wide open and taking in the world around it. The classrooms reflect new ideas and trends, boasting teaching walls, high ceilings, reading nooks and purpose-built storage. Located on the second floor, the classrooms extend and merge into an enclosed gallery that offers a hybrid of

Artist’s impression outside/inside learning. The area also includes naturally styled carpet alcoves for small group learning and a purpose-built low island bench perched in front of a teaching kitchen for inquiry into cooking, experimenting and science, all cleverly hidden behind a teacher-access door. The ground-floor space will support a broad range of activities including learning, perceptual motor programs and play. The large undercroft allows students to escape the elements if required and adds to the sensory landscaped playground. “I believe the children will be very excited to see the new classrooms, however, I know they will be thrilled to explore the new outdoor spaces and playground,” prep teacher Rebecca Wells says.

BIOSPHERE BRINGS BENEFITS FOR BUSINESS What does it mean to be recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve? WORDS: Andrew Eves-Brown, head of economic development, Sunshine Coast Council.

n June 2022, our Sunshine Coast Council local government area was officially recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which will help us protect and enhance our region, communities, economy and our natural environment for future generations. Years in the making, this prestigious designation is truly a historic moment for our region. A biosphere is a special place. It’s a place where responsible development and people living sustainably sit alongside active conservation. It’s about creating a

myweeklypreview.com.au

27.indd 1

legacy for our children’s future; caring for our beautiful landscapes and stunning beaches; and leveraging economic opportunities to grow local businesses. The past few years have seen so many people move to the Sunshine Coast for its natural beauty and lifestyle with no end to that migration in sight. Becoming a biosphere supports council and the community’s clear plan and vision for the future and how each of us can contribute to a sustainable region as we live, work and play on the Sunshine Coast.

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR DOING BUSINESS ON THE SUNSHINE COAST? This is our natural advantage. This designation brings opportunity to those already doing business or thinking of investing in our economy. It provides a competitive advantage to facilitate sustainable growth along with a range of benefits to our natural environment, our lifestyle and economy. From a business perspective, it can attract more investment to our region and help local business grow through the creation of niche markets for our region’s products and services, facilities and practices. Being a biosphere has a range of benefits, particularly for our tourism and agriculture industries, whereby our biosphere designation could support a sustainable ‘Biosphere Accreditation’ brand that increases the value of products and services. Imagine the potential we now have more than ever to attract tourists from around the world who wish to visit and buy from a region that focuses on sustainability at the forefront of everything they do. A Biosphere Community Reference Group has played a critical role in both informing and shaping what a biosphere designation would mean for the community, as well as contributing to the planning undertaken to support our transition into implementation, which includes the development of a governance structure, branding and performance measurement and management frameworks. I would like to personally thank the diverse range of industry sectors, interest groups, government and community groups who contributed to becoming a biosphere. I encourage business owners and

managers to take a look at UNESCO’s 17 Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) and think about how to align their own strategies with these goals. We are fortunate to live, work and play in a truly unique part of our world. And you will be integral in shaping what the future looks like as our region grows through significant change over the coming years. WHAT IS A BIOSPHERE? A biosphere is an international site of excellence, recognised by UNESCO as an area of natural beauty where people live and work. DOES AUSTRALIA HAVE ANY OTHER BIOSPHERE DESIGNATIONS? Australia has only five Biospheres, and across the world there are more than 720 UNESCO Biospheres in over 130 countries. WHAT GEOGRAPHICAL AREA DOES THE BIOSPHERE INCLUDE? Visit the Sunshine Coast Council website to view a map of the Biosphere area. WILL OUR BIOSPHERE DESIGNATION LIMIT DEVELOPMENT OR GROWTH ON THE COAST? A biosphere designation is nonstatutory and does not override existing planning, policy and legislation at any level of government. Therefore, a Biosphere does not override the Sunshine Coast Council Planning Scheme 2014. WHAT ARE SUSTAINABILITY DEVELOPMENT GOALS? SDGs were adopted by UNESCO during the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015. These 17 objectives form a program of interlinked global goals that are designed to be a blueprint to more sustainable future. Visit the UNESCO website to learn more.

LOCAL BUSINESSES TO BENEFIT WHEN BUSINESS EXPO COMES TO TOWN The Thriving Through Change business expo is back this year with a strong program that will focus on the resilience and growth of small businesses in the region. Taking place on Tuesday, August 23 from 3pm to 7.30pm at Venue 114, the free event is an opportunity for businesses to meet and connect with the growth and support network on the Sunshine Coast.

Sunshine Coast Council, with support from the Queensland government’s Department of Employment, Small Business and Training, sees this event as a great opportunity for local businesses to come away with practical strategies that can be implemented in their operation. The event will host more than 35 exhibitors, a keynote speaker, two masterclasses and a networking session in what will be a stimulating program. Jetts Australia CEO Elaine Jobson (pictured) will present a practical keynote address, sharing her five lessons on what small businesses can learn from big businesses to help them survive, thrive and grow. Local, state and federal government agencies, plus the region’s Chambers of Commerce and industry groups, will exhibit. Attendees can take advantage of the direct access to these stall holders and discover their projects and programs that have been tailored to businesses in the region. Social media and business growth masterclasses have been developed and will be delivered by industry professionals. Each masterclass has been strategically designed to elevate businesses on the Sunshine Coast. The expo will conclude with a networking event where attendees can connect with the best and brightest business minds in the region. This expo comes following last year’s event, which focused on business recovery and resilience in the face of COVID-19. The event was a huge success, seeing more than 400 people attend from across the Sunshine Coast region. Sunshine Coast Council currently has registrations open. To register, visit events.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and search ‘Thriving Through Change’.

WORKERS HOPING FOR A PAY RISE New research has revealed many Australians are hoping for a pay bump to ease cost of living pressures. The survey of 632 Australian workers by Finder found one in five (22 per cent) are hoping for a pay rise in the next three months. This includes 13 per cent who say they are in the process of trying to negotiate their pay, and nine per cent who want a raise but are afraid to ask. The research shows one in six workers (17 per cent) negotiated a higher salary over the past three months – nine per cent talked their employer into raising their pay, while eight per cent earned a pay bump by switching jobs. Graham Cooke, head of consumer research at Finder, says the aftershocks of the pandemic continue to affect Australia’s labour market. “The lack of migrants and backpackers has severely dampened the number of workers, including in sectors like agriculture which traditionally rely on labour supply from overseas. We’re also in the midst of a COVID surge as well as the worst flu season in years, which means at any one time a large portion of a company’s employees are off sick.” ABS data shows the industries most likely to increase staff wages over the next three months are administrative and support services (59 per cent), accommodation and food services (42 per cent), and information media and telecommunications services (40 per cent). Finder’s research reveals male employees (19 per cent) are more likely than their female counterparts (14 per cent) to have negotiated a higher salary within the past three months. Mr Cooke says the demand for higher wages is another reason companies are struggling to fill roles.

MARKET TO REPAIR LOSSES The Australian stock market has recorded a loss for the 2022 financial year. The All Ordinaries Accumulation Index has fallen around 7.4 per cent since June 30, 2021. We can source financial-year performance data for the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index back to 1981. The index over this 42-year period includes the current financial year to date. The average annual return over this period has been a healthy 10.4 per cent. During that time there have been 33 years with positive returns, leaving nine years recording a loss. One year after a financial year loss, the average return was 12.8 per cent with a wide range of outcomes. Six of those years saw positive gains, the other two negative. The best return was up 35 per cent, the worst was down a further 22 per cent. Extending the investment period after a financial year loss pushes the odds in your

MOFFAT BEACH BREWING CO Moffat Beach Brewing Co has been a part of the Sunny Coast craft beer community since the infant years of the industry. Founders Matt and Sharynne Wilson have been busy making exciting new products with other local businesses, providing mentoring for budding brewers and much more. The brewery has found great opportunities to collaborate with local businesses in fun and creative ways. Stand out collaborations include the coffee stout, which is made in partnership with local coffee roaster, Tim Adams. Boocock Quality Meats found another use for MBBC’s Dark Ale in a new sausage recipe, quickly becoming one of the butcher’s fastest selling snags. myweeklypreview.com.au

favour. In the two years after a financial year loss, the annualised return is 12.1 per cent, but there was only one instance of a loss, which amounted to an annualised fall of six per cent. The best two-year return was 24 per cent per annum. With a holding period of three years post a financial year, the worst outcome was an annualised loss of -0.2 per cent while the average annualised return was 13.0 per cent. The best three-year return was 27.8 per cent per annum. Once you reach five years after a financial year loss, there were no losses. The worst result was return of 2.2 per cent per annum; the best result a stunning 35.6 per cent per annum. At 10 years, the volatility is reduced significantly. This emphasises the importance of maintaining a focus on the ability of the market to repair losses and generate a healthy return for those able to look through near-term volatility and take advantage of the market weakness.

MBBC has been named one of the Local Business Champions in this year’s Sunshine Coast Council series, which highlights Sunshine Coast businesses andtheir contribution to local industry a nd community.

SRJ WALKER WAYLAND ‘Paying it forward’ - the Sunshine Coast business community has operated with this ideology for decades. It’s a concept practised by SRJ Walker Wayland that has helped them develop meaningful relationships with clients and create a local network that thrives on each other’s success. SRJWW has been helping to provide a platform through a range of events for local businesses that builds their network and updates them on what is happening in their industries. Principal Katrina Brennan and the team use these events to connect their clients with other businesses on the Coast, leading to exciting new collaborations and partnerships.

groups such as Awesome Women in Construction, Caloundra Chamber of Commerce, Manufacturing Excellence Forum and Sunshine Coast Business Awards. Katrina believes the business network on the Sunny Coast genuinely wants to see you thrive because if you succeed then the region prospers. They have embodied that in how they build relationships with clients by connecting them to the right network that will help them grow.

IN D U S T RY E X PERTS

Is online cheaper, faster and actually better?

What do employers say about your new potential worker?

There has been an explosion of online services spruiking the ability for you to do your own Will by clicking a few buttons. I have trouble grasping how effective a “tick a box” approach is. I can pick up a hammer, but I know I’m not a carpenter. I might end up with a new Will that is “legal” but does it do what I want? How is my super going to be dealt with? Can my defacto challenge the gift to my children? Also, once the document is “generated”, it must be correctly executed. This aspect was recently considered by the Supreme Court. In tragic circumstances, the Court had to decide whether answers to an online questionnaire, made by a person who had taken their own life, constituted their Will. After a number of costly hearings, which involved the Attorney-General, the Court declared the online Will to be the deceased’s Will. The Judge specifically acknowledged digital communication is an essential part of society, but cautioned the case was very “fact specific” and if it wasn’t for other written statements made by the deceased about the online Will, the Court may not have declared it to be valid.

Hiring the right person for the job may be the most critical management decision you will make. In this tough market we may tend to cut some corners in the recruitment process – one of these could be reference checking. You have seen a resume – it looks good. You have interviewed the candidate – they said all the right things. Let’s get them started – wrong! The cost of a wrong choice of employee is estimated to be three times their annual salary. This relates to costs of training and recruitment, consequences on productivity, client satisfaction, employee morale and turnover. A wage of $80,000 could quickly turn into a $240,000 liability. You should get the candidate’s approval first before checking references provided, as this gives the candidate an opportunity to notify their referees that they will be contacted. If you wish to pursue additional referees you need the candidate’s approval to do so. Reference checks must be undertaken before an offer is made. Referees must have worked closely with the candidate and be in a position to comment about the candidate’s recent work performance.

Succession planning tips

What happens during mediation?

Succession planning is vital for all business owners, but particularly family business owners. Here are a few tips to consider when starting your succession planning: • Commence succession planning early in the life of the business. • Always keep your financial data up to date so that information is easily accessed and ready for any new plan. • Understand the overall strategic plan of the business. • Determine the key roles needed for the future and who will ‘fit’ with your business going forward. • Select a successor as early as possible in the succession planning process and then appropriately train, develop and introduce them to other key business people. • Determine the importance of family involvement in the leadership and ownership of the business. • In addition to the successor, organise a backup of talented people who can evolve through training and involvement in the business. • Set retirement dates for owners/founders. • Communicate your succession plan. • Consider all of the financial and tax implications of your succession plan. Businesses planning for the unexpected. Start the conversation today.

Mediation is a process where parties involved in a dispute come together to resolve their issues with the help of a mediator who is a neutral third party. A benefit of engaging in mediation is that parties can explore options for resolution rather than engaging in a Court process, which can be costly, time consuming and emotionally draining. Parties involved in family law matters can attend mediation for both financial and parenting matters. It is recommended parties attend mediation with their legal representative but it is not a requirement. The mediation process generally takes a full day and the parties can be in the same room together, or in different rooms. All discussions are confidential, and information is not relayed to the other party without the consent of the party interacting with the Mediator. Conversations exchanged between the parties and the Mediator cannot be used in Court proceedings. The Mediator does not provide legal advice but will help identify the key issues in the dispute and provide solutions to assist the parties in resolving their issues. If there is agreement following the Mediation, the parties’ legal representatives will draft the legal documents to ensure finalisation of the matter.

Hang out with successful people that build you up and are not afraid to challenge you on your thinking. What’s the biggest challenge you’ve had to overcome?

What advice would you give other women starting out in business? I would start by advising self-care practices. This means looking after your body, mind and your heart health.

CANADIAN ROCKIES & ALASKA CRUISE EXPERIENCE

27 DAYS – 16TH JUNE - 12TH JULY – FROM $17,950*

My recent journey to Antarctica onboard Aurora Expeditions’ beautiful new ship MV Greg Mortimer was nothing less than an adventure of a lifetime. My adventure started in Punta Arenas, Chile where we boarded a flight to King George Island. We were greeted by our expedition leaders and swiftly changed into boots and life jackets, climbed into Zodiacs, and travelled to our ship. The next day was full of incredible wildlife experiences. We spotted a lone emperor penguin on the steep shoreline close to the hull of a shipwreck of a Norwegian whaling ship. We then encountered a young male leopard seal who was fascinated by our Zodiacs, as he swam up to us and lay alongside the rubber hulls. That afternoon was our first landing at Portal Point, and it was such a thrill to finally step foot on this most remote continent. The spectacular iceberg formations and the colours of the translucent blue glacial ice must be seen to be believed. A real highlight was magnificent setting of Neko Harbour where we got to observe a large colony of gentoo penguins, while standing there in awe of the towering glaciers all around us. The ship could not have been more comfortable – large balcony cabins, gourmet food, amazing service, friendly staff and incredibly knowledgeable expedition guides.

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22) It’s a fabulous week for your public profile, professional projects and work opportunities, as the sun and Jupiter send good fortune in your direction. Many shrewd Scorpios have a smart business brain, so make sure you’re utilising it to the max!

The stage is set for a potentially lucky week, so make the most of it. Many restless Sagittarians are wanderers at heart and love to travel. The sun/Jupiter trine activates your adventure zone, so start planning your next trip, saving, booking and packing ASAP.

Coupled Capricorn – love is in the air, so plan something romantic. If a problem is creating distance between you and a loved one, take the time to talk through issues in a compassionate way. Are you single and looking for your soulmate? Fortune favours the brave!

Opportunities to travel or study look promising this week as the stars stimulate your innate curiosity. The sun/Jupiter trine is especially positive for interpersonal relations. You’ll find the more you connect within your local community, the more satisfied you’ll feel.

The planets suggest a boost to finances and an increase in cashflow, but be careful you don’t cancel that out by indulging in a spontaneous spending spree. Under the influence of the sun/ Jupiter trine, it’s a terrific time to apply for a job.

PROPERTY

THE FACTS ABOUT DOOM AND GLOOM REPORTS Two property experts check the figures and dispel myths surrounding what interest rates rises will do to property prices. WORDS Gail Forrer.

s interest rates rise, property price forecasts tend to carry a theme of negativity. The question is, should buyers and homeowners worry about these forecasts? Direct Collective CEO and Sunshine Coast property expert Mal Cayley says an emphatic “no”. “Banks have a 100 per cent record of being 100 per cent wrong on property market predictions longer than 12 months,” he says. “It’s interesting that the largest fall we have seen in the last 40 years at a macro level is 8.6 per cent, yet banks are predicting that the circumstances are so dire, that we should expect greater falls now.” Mr Cayley says from a macro perspective, there is a significant national undersupply. “It is so bad that the federal and state ministers recently convened to discuss the crisis, with the result that Australia is about to open the doors to over one million new residents over the next few years. “This will place greater pressure on housing, making it unlikely prices will fall dramatically.” Ray White Property Group chief

PA L M WO O D S

rising rapidly, and longer term they will have a major influence on house prices.” Ms Conisbee also notes that rising rents are likely to make buying a home to live in more attractive. “Similarly, rising rents are good news for investors – while most investors buy for capital growth, having decent rental returns is a major positive.”

THE LOCAL OUTLOOK economist Nerida Conisbee says, “Although I am 100 per cent sure that all property forecasts published right now won’t be exactly correct, one thing we can be certain about is that the property market is entering a new cycle.” While Ms Conisbee notes house prices are sensitive to interest rates, she says it’s not the only factor to influence price growth. “These include the underlying health of the economy, prospects for population growth, urban regeneration and infrastructure improvements, access to finance [ease of lending], increasing wealth, government policy towards property, and the level of household debt.”

AUCTION WRAP

WATERFRONT IS LIQUID GOLD A Birtinya home set a new record over the weekend, as more properties were snapped up by eager buyers. WORDS: Gail Forrer. “The opening bid was $1 million,” Mr Van den Dungen says. “By 12 minutes past 10, we were signing contracts.” About 30 people turned out to see the auction of the home, which started off with a land sale by Stockland in 2015. “People are always drawn to waterfront,” the agent adds.

HOUSING ALTERNATIVE

6 Reflection Place, Birtinya on auction day

he auction of a waterfront home in Birtinya set a street price record on the weekend. The four-bedroom home at 6 Reflection Crescent sold under the hammer for $1.49 million, beating the sale of a home in February, which fetched $1.45 million. Ray White sales agent Will Van den Dungen says it was a quick and exciting auction with six registered bidders. The auction, commencing at 10am, immediately set the scene for a fast finish.

One couple’s preference to downsize to a three-bedroom home rather than a unit had them offering $790,000 for a Sippy Downs home prior to auction. Ray White chief auctioneer and sales agent Jake Loiero says the buyers, a Buderim couple, were delighted with the well-kept home on a large block of land. “It provided a great alternative for them,” Mr Loiero says of 32 Oak Grove Way. Ray White agent Greg Ward was also pleased to report that a Bli Bli home was sold under the hammer for $842,000. The home attracted three registered bidders, two of whom were interstate buyers. The couple who bought the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 53A Kathleen Drive moved to Sunshine Coast some six months ago.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

I hope your body and your boards made it through the weekend? If not, I know a few guys that collect the pieces and turn them into some pretty sick garden ornaments. It was, for the brave and capable, an insane weekend. Largest wave on record at the Caloundra bouy and second largest at Mooloolaba. I missed them both, got some spray in my eyes and had to pull back. The forecast looks just about normal. Get out there, have fun and play nice everyone.
