24 From the editor My family emigrated from Ireland to this wonderful country when I was a teenager. Looking back, it was a brave move for my parents to up roots and move halfway around the world with three young children in tow. But we are forever grateful to have been afforded such a wonderful lifestyle in a country that is a veritable melting pot of cultures and backgrounds. Of course, that’s not to say we aren’t fiercely proud of our Irish heritage, but we are also forever grateful for the opportunities Australia has offered us as a family. Australia Day is a chance for all Australians to celebrate how lucky we are to call this wide brown land home – no matter where we come from or how long we have been here. For me, one popular Australian song, written in 1987, sums up perfectly what it means to be Australian. As the lyrics say: “We are one, but we are many and from all the lands on Earth we come ... I am, you are, we are Australian.” Happy Australia Day, everyone.

AGENDA improving staff skill sets and teamwork mean feral deer can be detected and euthanised quickly. “New and improved thermal scopes mean our team can work during the night without stressing the animal or dispersing the herd – all while improving safety to livestock,” Cr Cox says. “We’ve also seen an increase in private properties registered for deer-control activities in the past year, as more landholders recognise the safety and effectiveness of this control program.”

THE PESTS DOING UNTOLD DAMAGE TO OUR REGION They may look harmless enough but invasive animals and birds can harm agriculture and habitats, and pose threats to native species.

nvasive species are being trapped and removed in record numbers across the Sunshine Coast. The united effort between Sunshine Coast Council and the community aims to protect our region’s biodiversity.

In 2023, the council’s team removed 335 feral deer from registered properties in the region – almost triple the previous record set in 2021. Environment Portfolio Councillor Peter Cox says better technology and

During the year, council staff removed 91 foxes through trapping across the region. This was alongside other fox-control strategies, including spring-activated baiting and den detection using conservation dogs. Meanwhile, community trapping contributed to 1315 Indian myna birds being removed from our environment. Environment Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez says Indian myna birds are highly territorial and will outcompete our native species for food and nesting sites. “These birds have invaded and become prolific throughout eastern Australia, and controlling populations in our region is only possible with strong community involvement,” Cr Suarez says. “Thank you to everyone who has

Invasive animals on the Sunshine Coast • Feral deer impact agriculture, damage fragile habitats, spread disease and are a danger to road users. • Indian myna birds spread disease, are highly territorial and out-compete native birds for nesting hollows. • Foxes hunt native species and eat eggs of endangered Mary River, green and loggerhead turtles. • Wild dogs pose a danger to pets and prey on livestock and native animals. • Feral cats are opportunistic predators that hunt native species, small livestock and pets and can spread disease. • Feral pigs damage fragile habitats, prey on native species and livestock and threaten agriculture. • Rabbit sightings remain low in our region, but they have the potential to multiply rapidly to threaten native habitats and agriculture.

FAST FACTS

The first iPhone

Do you remember?

Did you know? If you listen very closely, hot water and cold water sound slightly different when being poured. The heat changes the thickness, or viscosity, of the water and that changes the pitch of the sound it makes when it’s poured. What we feel as heat comes from the molecules of the water moving faster. Cold water is thicker and, therefore, makes a slightly higher-pitched sound.

By the numbers The first mobile device to be called an ‘iPhone’ was made by Cisco, not Apple. It allowed the user to use the voice functions of Skype without a computer. Apple announced its own product just 22 days later, and Cisco sued for trademark infringement. The lawsuit was ultimately settled out of court and both companies were allowed to keep using the name. However, you’ve probably never heard of the Cisco iPhone.

The Australian government banned the word ‘mate’ for a day. There are probably slang or informal words that get on your nerves from time to time, particularly when you think something should be taken seriously. In 2005, the Australian parliament took a few citizen complaints a little too seriously and banned anyone on their staff from using the word ‘mate’ while at work. Fortunately, then prime minister John Howard objected, claiming that ‘mate’ was an important part of Australian culture, and the ban was overturned within 24 hours.

Today in history – January 25 1919 – The League of Nations is founded. It is the predecessor of the United Nations and the first international organisation devoted to maintaining world peace.

Looking For A New Mattress? Read This Shocking Admission From A Retired Bedding Franchise General Manager and Avoid Being Ripped Off Retired General Manager of one of Australia’s largest specialty bedding stores recently admitted even if you buy a bed on sale, the margins are still huge. In addition to marking up a mattress by around 300%, the retailer gets another 12% ‘rebate’ from the manufacturer. Mattresses that sell for $10,000 in specialty bedding and department stores are being made for as little as $1,500. Mattresses that sell for $4,000 can be made in China for less than $400. The truth is..

Uninformed Consumes Are Being Ripped Off Most local manufacturers are not helping either. They work with retailers to drive prices up and make it impossible for consumers to compare mattresses. One way they do this is by supplying each retail store with essentially the same mattress, but with different labels (brand names) and prices. On top of that, they refuse to tell you exactly what’s inside the mattress so you don’t actually know what you’re getting. And to further confuse you, they make up fancy terminology to make their components seem better. Local manufacturer, Simply Beds are sick and tired of the deceit in their industry. They’ve been making mattresses in Brisbane for 15 years and sell direct-to-the-public from their 4 companyowned stores. That means you can buy a genuine wholesale prices and save the 300% mark-ups you are forced to pay at other stores. On top of that, they are totally transparent about what’s in their mattresses. And offer the following information to prevent you from being disappointed and ripped off when you buy your next mattress.

What’s In A Mattress?

comfort, longevity and cost. Not all foams are the same quality. Fam is graded by density (or weight) and softness. He higher the density (heavier) the longer the foam will last. Density has nothing to do with softness. You can get high density foam (heavy foam) in soft, medium, and firm. The problem is most retailers won’t tell you the density of the foam in each mattress (most probably don’t even know). Memory or Gel Foam is also sometimes used as a comfort layer. Both foams have slow re-lease qualities which enable them to hug your body and relieve pressure points. But this can make them warmer to sleep on. Gel Foam is injected with a special substance to increase air circulation and keep your mattress cooler. Latex can also be used as a comfort layer. Like foam, not all latex is he same. Genuine latex is highly elastic and will last for many years. Synthetic and hybrid latex becomes brittle over time. The top comfort layer is in the quilting. Beds with a cloud-like feel usually have a lot of polyester in the quilting. While this may be lovely at first, it will quickly flatten (within weeks). To prevent this, we include foam in our quilting.

Pillow Top This is usually an extra layer/s of foam attached to one side of the mattress. While this may add to the comfort of a mattress, depending on the density of the foam, it will contour to your body over time. We use high quality (i.e. high density) foam to minimise this. Pillowtop mattresses are usually single-sided (non flip) which effectively halves their life (although many of our mattresses are still guaranteed for 10 years). Unbeatable Wholesale Prices: Overall, our standard prices are around 70% cheaper than other stores because we manufacturer ourselves – right here in Brisbane. Every Mattress I Different: Our cheaper mattresses cost less because they are more basic with Bonnel Springs, no side supports and limited foam. Our more expensive mattresses cost more because they have pocket springs, foam box side supports and include more higher quality foam or latex. But all cost around 70% less than other retailers. Easy to Compare: We’re happy to show you what’s inside each mattress so you know exactly what you’re getting and you can compare mattresses across our range. Genuine Guarantee: While most retailers simply refer you to the manufacturer who may give you the run around and force you to pay for freight to examine the mattress, we stand behind our products. If there is a problem, we will come to your home, inspect your mattress, and make things right straight away.

Why Choose Simply Beds

Springs Unless a mattress is made entirely of foam or latex, it will contain a core of springs. These springs are made by a handful of companies (usually in China) and imported into Australia flattened. Bonnel Springs are made from a cylindrical coil of wire attached between guide wires and hoops on the top and bottom. These springs are tried and tested. And they are affordable. But because they are made of continuous wire, they can easily transfer movement across the bed. Pocket Springs are also imported into Australia flattened. They are wrapped individually in cylinders of fabric and work independently of each other which minimises partner disturbance. Pocket Springs are slightly more expensive than Bonnel Springs but well worth it. Side Supports Cheap Bonnel Spring mattress don’t have any side supports. More expensive ones have a single butterfly side support (looks like a full butterfly) so the edge of the bed remains firm when you sit on it. Cheaper Pocket Spring mattresses either have no side supports or use a simple metal hoop at the top and bottom. The best way to give side support is to encase the springs in a high quality density foam box. That’s what we do here at Simply Beds. This refers to the foam/latex layers that sit the springs. This is a major part of the mattress and makes a big difference to the

COVER STORY

THE GREAT AUSTRALIA DAY DEBATE January 26 has become a controversial date on the calendar that threatens to divide our nation. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa with AAP.

ustralia is a country rich in history, diverse in culture and abundant in natural beauty – from the pristine coastlines to the lush bushland and rugged outback. We are known for our unbreakable Aussie spirit and are often referred to as the ‘lucky country’, attracting people from all over the world to seek out a better life. It’s undeniable this island nation, which has been home to First Nations people for more than 60,000 years, is steeped in history – both dark and light – which has shaped us into the Australia we are today. However, the country’s national holiday has become a taboo topic over the years. While the day is a chance to celebrate all the wonderful things that make us Australia – and Australian – it also raises conversations about what the day symbolises for Indigenous Australians. Australia Day has become a controversial celebration dividing the nation over the historic and cultural significance of the date. January 26 marks the 1788 landing of the First Fleet and raising of the Union Flag by Arthur Phillip at Sydney Cove in New South Wales. The National Library of Australia says that prior to 1935, the day was referred to as First Landing Day or Foundation Day, but from 1935 onwards it became known as Australia Day.

10 My Weekly Preview | January 25, 2024

The day only became a national public holiday 30 years ago in 1994. However, many Australians recognise the country’s rich First Nations history that existed for thousands of years before this date, with terms such as ‘Invasion Day’ or ‘Survival Day’ now being coined for the public holiday. This has led to lobbying from organisations, institutions and communities across the country to change the date or boycott the day altogether. Australian Catholic University sociology lecturer Rachel Busbridge says there has been a general shift towards support for changing the date, with only half of Australians celebrating the day. “We can see a slow but steady drift towards recognising that the day is a bit problematic for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and if we want to all celebrate together, then that may mean we have to find another day,” Dr Busbridge tells AAP. A spokesperson from Victorian-based Warriors of Aboriginal Resistance is welcoming the changing public opinion. “This date isn’t a day of celebration. It marks the beginning of Aboriginal people losing our land, families and lives and it’s a stain on Australia that we celebrate this,” the spokesperson says. “It’s great to see the shift and we hope that more places can

listen to the calls for justice.” This is leading major supermarket chains Woolworths and Aldi to announce they will not sell Australia Day merchandise following a decline in demand. In a statement to AAP, a Woolworths spokesperson says: “There has been a gradual decline in demand for Australia Day merchandise from our stores over recent years”. Dr Busbridge says while Australians are becoming less attached to January 26, politicians aren’t, leading some pollies to dominate the culture war in a way that doesn’t reflect public sentiment. It comes as Opposition Leader Peter Dutton recently condemned the Australia Day supermarket move as an “outrage” born from Woolworths’ “woke agenda” and inferred that most Australians likely thought the same. “We see a lot of polarisation from that top level of politics (and) it tends to come from the right (conservative) side,” Dr Busbridge says. “But when we look at people’s attitudes on the ground, it’s a lot less polarised. If there’s really no demand for these types of items, then I don’t know the extent to which the politicisation and outrage that comes along is really reflective of public sentiment.” On the Coast, federal MPs are fighting back against moves to silence or cancel

Australia Day. “Australia Day belongs to the people and should never be the plaything of big governments and big corporates,” Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien says. “It’s disappointing to see retail giants Woolworths and Aldi strip away Australia Day merchandise. “I stand against any attempt to cancel or silence Australian patriotism. “Australia Day is meant to be a day of unity, to celebrate our liberal democracy, our values of freedom and equality, and to give thanks to our ‘way of life’ which is the envy of the world.” Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace encourages Australians to take pride in their country on January 26 without fear or vilification. “We celebrate our Indigenous heritage, we celebrate settlement in this country, and we celebrate our diversity,” Mr Wallace says. “It is what, together, has made us the greatest country in the world. We aren’t perfect, but it is a positive thing to celebrate all the things that make us uniquely Australian, including the opportunities and freedom we enjoy, and to learn from our past to ensure our future is brighter than ever. We have a right to be proud of our history, to learn from our mistakes and reignite Australia Day as a day for all of us, where we stand proud and united.” myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY

Cutting-edge science to help save marsupial

In gratitude, Tomas seeks to ‘pay it forward’ First coming to Australia as a 16-year-old in 1996 on an exchange program, Tomas Passeggi quickly fell in love with the country. As a migrant with an immense love and respect for the nation, Mr Passeggi acknowledges the opportunities this country has given him while recognising the history that came with colonisation. Born in Uruguay, Mr Passeggi, his parents and three siblings moved to Australia in 1997. Now with a prominent role in the Caloundra community, he speaks with My Weekly Preview about what it means to him to live here. “I do represent a large percentage of Australians: those who have, by choice or by force, migrated here,” he says. “And it means to be eternally grateful for the opportunities that it has afforded me and my family; thankful, for the safety and certain predictability of what the ‘day to day’ will bring. “It means being engaged and intentional on pursuing opportunities that will benefit others and playing my role in ‘paying it forward’ and making this a better place for all, as I am a product of many people who did that for us when we faced disadvantage.” Referring to himself as a ‘guest’ in Australia, Mr Passeggi says that while he enjoys “the privileges and the benefits of relatively wealthy and safe society”, he is aware that is not the case for many First Nations people. “Living in Australia, for me is holding that tension of gratitude and guilt, and doing what I can to ameliorate the negative effects of colonisation,” he says.

A new project will help shine a light on the local population of a much-loved Australian species: the koala. Saving Sunshine Coast Koalas, Sunshine Coast Council, First Nations people, the University of Sunshine Coast (UniSC), the Detection Dogs for Conservation research group, Brush Turkey Enterprises and Mooloolah River LandCare work together to fill the knowledge gap. The work is being helped along, thanks to almost $200,000 from the federal government’s Saving Koalas Fund. Cutting-edge science, such as artificial intelligence, koala bellow recognition programs, drone-mounted thermal imagery, detection dogs and next-generation scat genetic analyses will be used. They will provide a valuable insight into the local koala population, including where they live, numbers, state of their health and what they eat. Dr Romane Cristescu, from UniSC Detection Dogs for Conservation, says the research will provide a big-picture view of where koalas live across the region. “This project will build new knowledge for targeted, on-ground conservation efforts, habitat restoration and treatment of chlamydial disease,” Dr Cristescu says. “In addition … it will contribute valuable koala density data, which is critical to validating and refining current koala-habitat modelling and contributing to the National Koala Monitoring Program.” Brush Turkey Enterprises will extend the existing Howells Knob Koala Restoration Project by an extra two

hectares and host a local landholder koala habitat workshop day with neighbouring properties in Reesville. Spencer Shaw, from Mooloolah Landcare, says the group will grow and supply 3500 koala food trees and hold a koala community planting day for landowners in the Mooloolah catchment area.

First Nations art on display Explore a collection of artworks by local First Nations group Blak Creatives at the Maleny Library Artspace from now until January 31. Blak Creatives is a group of Sunshine Coast artists and cultural practitioners. Supported by the Munimba-ja team, the group focuses on arts business development, informal mentorship and networking, contemporary urban Indigenous practice development, plus cultural protocol, industry development and pathways for emerging and mid-career artists. The exhibition is free at the Maleny Library Artspace, located at 5 Coral Street. For more information, visit library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club member Dominique Stitt is ready to race in the final two rounds of the Nutri-Grain Iron Series at Kurrawa on February 3 and 4. The 21-year-old, who started her surf lifesaving journey at age seven at Kawana Waters SLSC, got the call-up to join the world’s top ironwomen ahead of Rounds 3 and 4 at Maroubra recently. She also works as a casual lifeguard and studies for a Bachelor of Paramedicine.

UNIVERSE AT HER FEET A Coast actor is sharing the limelight of a hit Netflix series that has taken the world by storm and transports viewers back to 1980s Brisbane. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

s an Australian Netflix series continues to swallow in fans across the world, a Sunshine Coast actor shares her immense pride at being part of the project. Jane Larkin plays Penny in the Netflix television series Boy Swallows Universe, the screen adaptation of Brisbane author Trent Dalton’s book of the same title. The series has taken off across Australia and the world since hitting the streaming service on January 11. Based in 1980s Brisbane, the series follows the story of Eli and his brother August as they embark on a suburban odyssey of love, redemption and retribution after their family is torn apart by a drug lord. Speaking with My Weekly Preview, Larkin says she is “so proud” to be part of this successful Australian television story. “It’s so amazing when you see a project come to life,” she says. “I filmed it about 18 months ago and you get on a real high when you audition, get the part and get on set. The world’s your oyster – and then you wait.” Larkin acts alongside Australia’s Phoebe Tonkin, who is known for her roles in the Aussie teen series H2O: Just Add Water and hit US show The Vampire Diaries.

“I had just finished filming my own film when I heard Boy Swallows Universe was being adapted into a Netflix TV series,” Larkin says. “At the time, I thought it was just incredible. I’m a massive fan of Trent Dalton and he is a beautiful writer and I called my agent and said I wanted to get on the series. “I play a troubled young woman who is in a similar position to Phoebe Tomkin’s character. “Something I love is that (Dalton) really humanises every character. They are not just good and bad, terrible/good people: they are really three-dimensional.” Larkin appears in Episode 2: Boy Gets Chop. She and Dalton (pictured) met on set and again at the series premiere in Brisbane earlier this month, finding a commonality between a mutual friend and lecturer at the University of Queensland and both having a love for writing. The former Immanuel Lutheran College student has also featured in Spiderhead, starring Chris Hemsworth, as well as Ron Howard’s Thirteen Lives, plus the Australian-filmed series Young Rock and Darby and Joan. The writer, producer and actor is doing crew work on the upcoming Howard film Eden, starring Jude Law, and is soon due to release of her own film, The Edge, which was made on the Coast.

A ‘FATHER TO MANY’ AS A ROLE MODEL A daughter has shared her loving memories after the passing of a community champion who supported countless local charities.

former Father of the Year and much-loved champion of the community is being remembered fondly, following his death just two days prior to his 97th birthday.

Buderim’s John Dillon – or JD as he was affectionately known – was named the 2017 Queensland Father of the Year at age 90. He was integral in supporting countless local charities over his lifetime. JD died on January 15.

His daughter Sandy Forster wanted to share details of his upbringing and her favourite memories of her father with My Weekly Preview. Born in Victoria on January 17, 1927, JD was about four when his father committed suicide, before a chain of events led the young boy to be placed in an orphanage. His mother re-married an alcoholic gambler who lost all the family’s money, which meant she could no longer support her two oldest children. “After that experience, of all the dreams he could choose for his life, his most treasured was to be a father and have a family,” Ms Forster says. “He became a committed family man who was a shining example of what it means to be not just a great father, but a gentleman who went out of his way to help those he cared for and people in general – evidenced by his last gesture of donating his body for research.” JD and his wife Lillian and their three children – Steve, Sandy and Pam – moved to the Sunshine Coast in 1979, settling in Buderim where he began working for the Maroochy Shire Council. He supported the local community in many ways: volunteering at Riding for the Disabled, at the Nambour Show and Australia Day celebrations, and was a member of the local Rotary club.

“When he was nominated for Sunshine Coast Father of the Year in 2017, he rang me to say he thought it was a hoax,” Ms Forster says. “He was so humble. He couldn’t believe it. And then when he won, he was so incredibly proud, but couldn’t even attend the award ceremony as he was off helping others in the Solomon Islands with Rotary: building a community centre – at the age of 90. “Through the many organisations, charities and events supported over the years, he was an inspiration to so many. “Not just as a father, but as a man. “He is a walking example of how to be a good man, a loving man, a gentleman. “He’s very humble and would never ‘toot his own horn’, but he’s someone other men look up to and emulate. “He’s been inspiring men (family and those who connect with him through his volunteering) for decades.” Ms Forster says that even without a role model of his own, her father leaves a legacy of becoming one for so many boys and men within his family and the members of organisations he was part of. “And that legacy will live on through the fathers and sons of those families,” she says.

Heritage tramway progress Buderim-Palmwoods Heritage Tramway Inc (BPHTI) supporters have reason to celebrate after gaining approval to display a historic train in the heart of Buderim. After many years and several setbacks, Sunshine Coast Council has given approval for the restored Krauss locomotive to be displayed adjacent to the heritage-listed Old Post Office in Buderim. The old loco ran on the Buderim to Palmwoods Tramway between 1914 and 1935 (when the

tramway was closed due to lack of custom). It was then sold off to Bingera Sugar Mill near Bundaberg in the Wide Bay-Burnett region and became a cane train for the next 20 years. BPHTI members discovered it in a rundown condition in a collector’s yard in 2004 and purchased it with funds provided by several councillors and the then mayor. It was then brought back to Buderim and lovingly restored by BPHTI members (pictured), with the hope of finding a permanent home for the Krauss. The Buderim War Memorial Community Association offered the land for the display and has assisted with gaining the necessary council approval. “We would like to sincerely thank all our many loyal supporters who have stood by us through all the years of frustrations and disappointments,” BPHTI president Helene Cronin says. “Their perseverance will now be rewarded. We now need to raise the necessary funds for the display building and we will shortly be holding a gala event to launch the fundraising campaign.” Visit buderim.com/tramway for more information.

Cribb Street streetscape I’m so pleased to announce that Sunshine Coast Council is starting construction on Stage 2 of the Cribb Street streetscape improvements at Landsborough. A huge ‘thank you’ to all those who helped shape the excellent overarching, 15-year Landsborough Placemaking Master Plan and the Cribb Street designs. These placemaking projects are about improving the functionality and attractiveness of the main street, while further strengthening

Our region’s proposed new Sunshine Coast planning scheme has now been formally submitted to the state government for the first State Interest Review. This is the next stage of determining the all-important scope and scale of land uses, and follows the extensive preliminary (non-statutory) community consultation in early 2022. For the Glasshouse Country towns, this will protect the rural mix and character and I thank everyone who got involved in the preliminary consultation in 2022. Our community will again be consulted once the state’s planning minister and new council have approved the draft planning scheme.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

FROM THE MAYOR Hello everyone, Sunshine Coast residents have a great passion for preserving our environment and enviable way of life. An inspirational example of this is a simple idea that has created a legacy, with the annual Clean up for the Hatchlings event. The event celebrates a decade of helping turtle hatchlings make it to the ocean. Thanks to the partnership between Sunshine Coast Council, Reef Check Australia, Unitywater, SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium and Noosa Council, this annual event has seen more than 250,000 pieces of litter removed from our beaches during turtle-nesting season. Our community is once again invited to come together to tidy up the local beaches on Saturday, February 3, from 6am to 7.30am at various locations between Caloundra and Noosa. Participants are also invited to enjoy a free barbecue, enter in a prize draw, take part in other fun activities and, most importantly, to weigh and sort the collected debris following the clean-up. The event will be single-use plastic-free, so make sure you bring a reusable water bottle, coffee cup, gloves, enclosed footwear and sun protection. Volunteers are encouraged to register ahead of the event by going to events.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and searching for ‘Clean up for the Hatchlings 2024’. I would also like to thank all of our volunteers for their contributions to protecting and preserving our Sunshine Coast environment.

t’s time to take a trip back in time to when families embarked on long road trips in the summer heat to see oversized attractions and stay at lodgings where pools, packs of biscuits and breakfast hatches were absolute luxury. The new exhibition, called Reception this way, arrives at Caloundra Regional Gallery from January 27 and will take you back to the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. Developed by the National Archives of Australia, in collaboration with comedian Tim Ross, the exhibition will revive memories of holiday experiences and give

younger folks a fascinating peek into the past. National Archives Director-General Simon Froude says Reception this way reminds us of Australian invention and entrepreneurship, and our place in the international tourism market. “We are very pleased to have Tim Ross taking this nostalgic journey with us. His passion for Australian mid-century architecture and exploration of the national archival collection is the inspiration behind the exhibition,” Mr Froude says. Division 2 Councillor Terry Landsberg

says Council is proud to support the exhibition in partnership with National Archives of Australia. “Reception this way is a story that is very close to home, thanks to the ’50s tourism boom which pinpointed the Sunshine Coast as an ideal driving destination with an array of motels on offer,” Cr Landsberg says. Reception this way: motels – a sentimental journey with Tim Ross is coming to Caloundra Regional Gallery from January 27 to March 17. For more information, visit gallery.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

MY OPINION

AFLUSH WITH WELLNESS PILLS

BIRDS, BEES AND THE FACTS OF LIFE

Jane Stephens is now not so sure the vitamins and supplements she has known all her healthy life have actually been doing her any good.

Sami Muirhead has learnt a lot about the world over the past week – especially from an unlikely source in hunky action film star Jason Statham.

eception is always hard to swallow, especially when told your wellness pills may not be the tonic or salve you believe. I have always been physically active – running, biking and swimming mostly at the moment. In these communities, there is often talk of this or that supplement to help with strength and endurance or to address one imbalance or another. But it seems the reliance on supplements might just be giving us expensive urine. I grew up with a basket of vitamins and supplements on our dining table. Aussies for generations have taken vitamins and supplements by the fistful, believing they will right our health ships as they list sideways. It is cultural, habitual – and perhaps entirely unnecessary. Complementary medicine and supplements are big business in Australia. Complementary Medicines Australia said in its pre-budget submission for 2021-22 that the industry was worth about $5 billion a year to the economy and that seven-in-10 Australians use complementary medicines, with the most popular multivitamins. But the belief that they are doing good is based on fantasy, not fact: there is next to

no evidence to support it. My general practitioner friend blew my mind recently when he mentioned that while magnesium deficiency is accepted as a cause of leg cramps, there is no evidence that taking supplements provide a clinical benefit. How could this be? I had never questioned it: there are stands at running and multisport events that sell it beautifully packaged, and sundry online businesses promise it will change your muscles’ world. The federal government says that there is no evidence most of us get any benefit from taking dietary supplements and that the best way to get the right nutrients is by eating foods that naturally contain them, not by gobbling pills and powders. Most of us know nothing about vitamins, except what we are peppered with on social media, via health bloggers or through clever packaging. Shop assistants at pharmacies will always recommend a miracle tonic to give you pep in your step. What the evidence does show is that most of the supplements we ingest simply pass on through. Supplements may not be proven to do much, but doing research and finding out the facts may prevent you flushing money down the toilet.

Dr Jane Stephens is a UniSC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.

ees have four wings, six legs and five eyes. A bee can flap its wings up to 200 times per second. Who said action star Jason Statham cannot teach us incredible facts? I went to see his new movie The Beekeeper and loved every corny minute of it. It is fast-and-furious action and the storyline is a little lame. But I did walk away with some new bee trivia ensconced in my brain – such as the fact that a honey bee will produce half a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Bees need better union representation. And the fun facts I am sharing this week don’t stop with bees. You know that little hole at the end of the saucepan handle? Many of us ignorant folk presume this is to hang the saucepan from fancy hooks. I admit I have daydreamed of having a rustic farm kitchen in Tuscany with rows of those woke saucepans hanging from the ceiling on hooks in my little cooking space. Well, those handle holes are there for you to slot in your spatula or wooden cooking spoon.

I know. It is a game changer. My niece gifted me this fun fact No.2 in my life this week. Another crazy fact to impress your family and wow your work colleagues is that margins were not designed for note taking. Remember back in high school when using paper with properly-sized margins was a huge deal? Well, margins were not created for us to be creative with words or feedback but in fact they had a dark ulterior motive: to attract rats to chew on the side of the paper rather than the author’s brilliant words. Did you know that one-in-18 people have a third nipple. Most ginger cats are male. Animals can be allergic to humans. A rainbow on Venus is called a glory. Wombats are the only animal to have cube-shaped poop. And it is impossible to hum while holding your nose. I may not be leaving you with a higher IQ this week but I bet some of these fun facts make people in your family laugh.

MY OPINION

CHILD CAR SAFETY LAW COLLIDES WITH RESEARCH

TIPS BEFORE POSTING BACK-TO-SCHOOL PHOTOS

WORDS: Candice Heisler, Senior Associate, Travis Schultz & Partners.

oad trauma is the leading cause of death and disabling injury for children in Australia. But studies show that many deaths may be prevented, and the injuries less severe, if a child is fitted in the right type of car seat that is right for their age and size. As parents, we all want to keep our little ones safe. When we know better, we do better. But doing the right thing as a parent to protect your child in the car has become confusing. Research into car seat safety has come a long way and in its more advanced state, what the law now prescribes appears the bare minimum when it comes to child car seat safety. Rearward facing – Frontal crash tests reveal that rear-facing car seats are five-times safer than a child sitting forward facing. But, despite the law allowing front facing from six months old, and recommendations that it is safer to be rear facing to four years old, a poll conducted by Dr Anthea Rhodes shows an alarming 63 per cent of children are in a forwardfacing car seat by as young as 18 months. Forward facing – It is reported that children in adult seatbelts are on average 2.7-times more-likely to suffer an injury in a car accident than adults wearing a similar type of seatbelt. So, even though the law says a child can use an adult seat belt from seven years, a child should pass The Five Step Test and meet the minimum height of 145cm for which an adult lap sash seatbelt is designed. That is typically at 10-12 years of age. Front seat – According to Child Road Safety, the injury risk to children in the

Privacy has to come before pride in our kids’ milestones.

P front seat is double compared to the back seat, regardless of the type of child car seat. So, while it is legal for a child over seven years of age to sit in the front seat, it is not safer for those under 12 to sit in the front seat, due to the risk of injury from air bag deployment or poorly adjusted seatbelts which are too big for a small child. As a personal injury lawyer, I regularly see parents seeking advice due to injuries their children have sustained in a road transport accident – some of which are catastrophic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries which result in lifelong impairment and disability. As a mother as well, my hope is that by driving awareness to the issue, parents can implement some of the best practices being shared by the law and ongoing research studies, so our precious cargo can be better protected from the possible risk of death or serious injury on our roads.

arents need to ensure their privacy settings are bolstered before posting their child’s back-to-school photos online. That’s the advice from the Australian Federal Police as students return to the classroom for the 2024 school year. While many parents share pictures of their children in uniform or at school, AFP Commander Helen Schneider says the photos can end up in the wrong hands. “We have seen instances of otherwise innocent images being used in childexploitation material or offenders using information from photos, such as school uniforms, to identify and groom children,” Ms Schneider says. “While these incidents are rare, they do happen, which is why we are urging families to be proactive with online safety and keep their information safe.” Before posting any photos online, parents should go through a privacy checklist. That includes checking that all social media accounts are set to private or ‘friends-only’ mode and picking photo backgrounds that don’t give away any addresses or locations. A child’s school logo should also remain hidden in any images and their age or full name should not be posted online. “Prevention is key to minimising inappropriate contact or the sharing of images online,” Ms Schneider says. More advice for parents, including a security checklist, can be found on the AFP-led online program ThinkUKnow. “(It’s) a great resource to help you

develop good online habits that protect your children and deter offenders,” Ms Schneider says. It comes after the AFP issued a warning around sextortion or where offenders coerce children into sending sexual images before threatening to share the images unless their demands are met. About 300 cases of children falling victim to sextortion are reported nationally each month, the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation says. If someone does fall victim to sextortion, AFP experts advise not to send any more content or pay as that could lead to further demands. Victims are advised to take screenshots of chats for a police report, block any profiles soliciting content and notify platform administrators. – AAP.

WHAT ARE PARASITES?

arasites are organisms that derive nutrients from other living organisms known as their hosts. We all have parasites. It’s a natural part of our life. Here are some suggestions to help minimise their adverse effects through regular natural treatment. Parasites if not treated can play havoc with our body systems and can cause gut malabsorption, nutrient deficiencies and infections. What are some signs of intestinal parasites? • fatigue, brain fog, anxiety and sleep disturbances • iron deficiency • diarrhoea, constipation or persistent Irritable Bowel Syndrome, bloating or gas • sudden onset of food allergies • insatiable hunger, especially for processed sugar and carb foods • skin irritations or rashes • joint and muscle pain • itchy bottom or genitals especially at night

• grinding teeth (called bruxism) • a history of food poisoning or parasite infection. Natural supportive herbs and foods for parasites: There are several natural herbal products to help support your body when choosing to eradicate parasites. Pop in and speak to one of our qualified naturopaths for support and advice. The most common herbs used in these products are those that are anthelminthics and antiparasitic (such as wormwood, clove and black walnut) and herbs to support the digestives and liver (such as gentian, ginger, fennel, St Mary’s thistle). Supportive foods to eat to help eradicate parasites: Why not add some into your daily smoothie or juice: • cucumber seeds, papaya, pumpkin seeds: kill worms in the digestive tract • garlic (fresh): antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-viral • turmeric: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and helps liver detoxification • ginger: digestive aid and helps with nausea • coconut oil: stops the parasitic from growing • oregano: anti-fungal, antibacterial, helps with Candida infection. Parasitic die-off: It is common to have flu-like symptoms, headaches, gut aches, brain fog, fatigue or nausea during parasite die-off. Parasites release neurotoxins, heavy metals, viruses and other toxins when they die. You could also have increased cravings for sugar or processed foods. This is the parasites’ dying food wish! It will soon pass and you will feel healthier. WORDS: Assunta Hamilton. Kunara Organic Marketplace qualified naturopath Kunara, 330 Mons Road, Forest Glen, kunara.com.au.

tips to boost your metabolism

1. Exercise: HIIT (high-intensity interval training) involves quick and very intense bursts of activity. It can help you burn more fat by increasing your metabolic rate. 2. Building muscle: Lifting to increase muscle mass can help increase your metabolism, as muscle will help you burn more calories each day, especially at rest. 3. Water: Water is important for hydration and flushing toxins. A 2013 study showed drinking 500ml of water increases resting metabolism by 30 per cent for an hour. 4. Spicy foods: Foods containing capsaicin can boost your metabolism. Eat more cayenne pepper, oregano, chilli and cinnamon. 5. Green tea: This powerful antioxidant can increase metabolism and fat burning by converting some of the fat stored in your body into free fatty acids.

WHY YOU SHOULD TRY REFORMER PILATES CLASSES Practising Reformer Pilates: Improves body awareness and balance – Reformer Pilates aids in building greater stability and co-ordination through unilateral exercises (one side at a time) and working across all planes of movement. Improves core strength and develops the powerhouse – posture improves due to greater core control and alignment with

the pelvis and shoulders. The powerhouse muscles start at the base of the ribs and extend all the way to the pelvic floor. Pilates affects the posture of the pelvis, which results in postural changes to the lumbar spine. Improves concentration and focus – concentration is one of the six main principles of Pilates and requires mindmuscle connection and sometimes

synchronised breathing. Both allow greater focus in other areas of life. Improves flexibility and mobility – it settles deeper into stretches and increases range of motion, especially in hips and hip flexors, the shoulders and back. It’s a full-body, low-impact workout – the subtlety of the springs and support of the moving carriage ensure that the workout can be supportive and challenging. Builds self-esteem and connection to self – the practitioner is guided to observe movements, their body and evolution and that consequently builds confidence and awareness. Mental wellbeing – Joseph Pilates studied and was inspired by yoga and breathwork to align breath with movement. Multiple studies show how mindfulness improves mood and mental wellbeing, and how deep breathing enhances blood flow around the body and aids autonomy. Motor co-ordination and flow – it doesn’t put any stress on the joints and so doesn’t wear on ligaments or cartilage like other sports may do. Reformer Pilates can be challenging and restorative. This creates change, harmony and balance in the body.

OPTIMISE GUT HEALTH Naturopath Danielle Elliott says clients’ top-three complaints are bloating, pain and gas. Here are her tips for optimal gut health. 1. Mindful meals: Some ways to eat mindfully are: taking some deep breaths beforehand; eating at a table and in a calm environment; chewing well; and tasting all the flavours. 2. Digestive support: Digesting your food fully reduces symptoms throughout the digestive tract. Over time, our body can produce fewer digestive enzymes. Some of the reasons include stress, dehydration and medications such as acid suppressants. 3. Probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics: Specific strains of probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics have been studied and proven to reduce bloating, gas production, inflammation and functional abdominal pain, and can support the normal function of the gut. 4. Consider constipation: Constipation is one of the major causes of gas and bloating. Make sure you use supportive and restorative measures and don’t rely on over-the-counter laxatives. 5. Calm your nerves: Gentle movement, yoga, deep breathing, gardening and meditation are all great ways to support your nervous system to be in a ‘rest and digest’ state more often.

SEIZE THE BOUNTIFUL OPPORTUNITIES ON OFFER With a host of major events and ways to connect, 2024 could be a golden year for our manufacturers and small businesses. WORDS: Chris Le Serve.

The 2024 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships are coming in April

s we surge into a new year, Sunshine Coast businesses are poised to seize exciting opportunities and navigate pathways to success. One such avenue is the recently announced $10 million ReMade in Queensland (ReMiQ) grant program by the state government, set to empower local manufacturing and recycling businesses. These businesses have a golden opportunity to leverage this initiative which encourages the adoption of

remanufacturing processes to reduce waste, lower energy costs, and transform recycled materials into new goods. Funding ranging from $50,000 to $2.5 million is available to facilitate projects that enhance the reuse of recycled materials in manufacturing or enable diversification into remanufacturing new waste streams. The ReMIQ program guidelines are now accessible atrdmw.qld. gov.au. Expressions of interest are open until February 19. These businesses should also consider

ASPIRE, especially when discarding valuable materials or using materials destined for landfill. ASPIRE is a free marketplace and online matchmaking tool designed to connect businesses for material exchange, which is growing from strength to strength. For example, the number of tonnes diverted from landfill has increased nearly seven times in the past year for the Coast ecosystem, helping reinforce our vision to be Australia’s most sustainable region. Coast ABN-holders with under 100 staff can register for free at sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au by searching for ‘ASPIRE’. Meanwhile, cruise ships will continue to dock off Mooloolaba’s shores this summer. Four more ships are expected, bringing day visitors and a major economic boost to business owners and operators. Some of Australia’s most-exciting beach volleyball talent, including Olympians and world tour players, descended on Bulcock Beach from January 19-21 for the Queensland Open titles. The event attracted around 550 beach volleyballers. The region will host the 2024 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships in April. ‘The Aussies’ is the pinnacle event on the

Australian surf lifesaving calendar and is expected to draw 7000 competitors, club and team managers, family and friends, volunteers and event staff. Additionally, our region will play host to The Curated Plate: a 10-day food and drink festival celebrating local produce, producers and chefs from July 26 to August 4. This is a fantastic opportunity for chefs, venue managers and tourism operators to showcase their offerings and connect with the community. With the exciting news that Groovin the Moo is returning to the Sunshine Coast Stadium Precinct on May 5, this is a great time to remind local event suppliers to register on EventsConnect. Selling out last year in just a few days, this one-day festival attracted 24,500 music lovers to the Kawana Sports Precinct and employed more than 1000 people to deliver the event. EventsConnect is a free listing platform for all our Coast venues, facilities and event services. It connects event suppliers to organisers, and offers easy access to experienced local businesses to plan and deliver successful events and activities. Visit eventsconnect.sunshinecoast. qld.gov.au.

BEATING THE ODDS OF SURVIVING IN BUSINESS Starting and maintaining a successful business isn’t for the faint-hearted. The Australian business landscape can be challenging, but with the right strategies, determination and expert guidance, you can beat the odds and thrive. Recent statistics indicate that the journey of owning a business in Australia is no easy feat. About 60 per cent of small businesses cease operating within their first three years. This statistic serves as a stark reminder of entrepreneurs’ challenges, but it also highlights the importance of

effective planning and management. One of the key factors that can significantly improve your chances of survival is having a solid business plan. A well-crafted business plan outlines your goals, target market, financial projections and strategies for growth. It acts as your road map, helping you make informed decisions and stay on course – even in turbulent times. Every business venture involves risks, but the successful ones know how to manage and mitigate them. Identifying potential risks and having contingency plans in place is essential. This proactive approach can help you navigate unexpected challenges and maintain stability in your business operations. Successful businesses share certain characteristics that set them apart. They prioritise customer satisfaction, constantly innovate, adapt to changing market conditions, and have a clear focus on their long-term goals. They also understand the importance of accurate financial insights and use them to make informed decisions. Surviving and thriving in business may be challenging, but it’s not impossible – with the right support and expertise.

Why should I choose to work for your business? Recently in the media, an employer thought he would garner support by boasting that he cancelled an interview mid-way because the candidate dared to ask: “Why?”. In today’s labour market, it really is all about ‘why?’. When potential new employees have many offers on the table, why should they choose to join you? Differentiating yourself will attract the best candidates and if you struggle to sell yourself, then maybe you need to really hone your employee-value proposition. Selling yourself means highlighting culture, values, benefits and opportunities for growth. Potential employees want to work for a company that aligns with their personal values and provides a positive, healthy and safe work environment. Additionally, they look for companies that offer competitive salaries, benefits, flexibility options and career advancement. By selling yourself, you can also create a strong employer brand. This will attract talent, as well as improve employee engagement. A referral is the highest compliment, which can further attract top talent. Maybe you should ask your current employees if they would refer a family member, friend or colleague to work for you. And if not, why not?

Wherefore art thou? If you accept the role of executor of an estate, you take on certain legal responsibilities. After the payment of estate debts, the primary obligation of an executor is the transfer of the assets of the deceased to the beneficiaries named in the Will. But what happens if a beneficiary can’t be found? The executor has an obligation to locate the missing beneficiary. The types of enquiries an executor may carry out will depend on the size of the gift and the costs involved. If, after reasonable enquiries have been made, the beneficiary still cannot be found, an executor might consider seeking the protection of an order of the Court. The Court is able to make an order allowing an executor to distribute the estate to the known beneficiaries. The Court order protects the executor for the distribution if the missing beneficiary ever turns up to “reclaim” their gift. Applying to the Court can be an expensive exercise. If your executor has no family connection with any of the beneficiaries, keeping an up to date record of their contact details can be of great assistance to your executor – as well as saving your estate unnecessary costs.

How well do you know your numbers?

Can I travel without the other parent’s consent?

Are you struggling to prioritise your business issues and opportunities? Understanding your numbers is a critical attribute for any business to embrace to make better decisions and improve performance. Do you need clarification on which strategies will accelerate growth and profit? How would you answer the following? • We have a culture in which knowing our numbers is important. • We set an annual budget and cash flow forecast against which to compare our actual numbers. • We know our break-even point and how to calculate it. • We know the average lifetime value of a customer. • We (or accountants) produce a monthly balance sheet to confirm the accuracy of our numbers. • We get monthly (or quarterly) management accounts. • We know how to calculate it and measure our gross margin every month. • Our books are always up-to-date. • We know when our tax payments are due and have funds allocated to pay them. • We monitor our outstanding debtors and we know our debtor days. • We know the difference between fixed and variable costs.

Taking your child/ren overseas on a much anticipated holiday post separation or divorce should be exciting, but what happens if the other parent does not consent? To obtain an Australian passport, each person who has parental responsibility for the child is required to provide written consent before a child’s passport can be renewed or issued. If there is no consent for the child to travel, or be issued with an Australian passport, you will need to apply to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for approval. Where there is a current order that permits the child to be issued with a passport and/or travel internationally, and the other parent is in breach of their obligation, such as co-signing a passport renewal or application, you can seek assistance from the court to enforce their obligation. Seeking an order from the court is a protracted, expensive exercise, and a last resort if matters cannot be resolved through dispute resolution processes. If you have separated, and intend on travelling internationally with your children, providing the other parent as much notice is key as it will allow you to address any concerns and consider your options should they say no.

A RANGE OF SCHOLARSHIPS FOR DIVERSE TALENTS

ibrant young learners and leaders wanting a quality education on the Sunshine Coast are invited to apply for scholarships open now to leading independent school Matthew Flinders Anglican College. The Flinders Scholarship Program is offering academic, general excellence and principal’s scholarships to students entering years 7 to 12 from Term 1, 2025. The program nurtures students with outstanding academic ability, leadership potential and special talents. Many graduate scholars have flourished through their scholarship journey and carved rewarding tertiary and career paths across diverse fields – from science and medicine to music, sport and the creative

arts. Zennjo Searle was awarded a Flinders Academic Scholarship in Year 8 and went on to graduate with the Class of 2019 as the college dux. His hard work, positive outlook and passion for learning saw him awarded the Queensland Certificate of Education Achievement Awards as one of the 34 brightest minds in the state. In 2023, Zennjo began a Bachelor of Medicine at the University of Queensland (UQ) after completing a science degree, majoring in biomedicine. Alongside his studies, Zennjo continues to pursue his love of music, developed through the highly regarded Flinders Music Program – playing in bands at St John’s College, UQ. Flinders general excellence scholar

Alice Tilleard has also reached great heights, having been recently endorsed as a Federal Court Associate, based in Perth. Alice graduated in 2017 and went on to complete a Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics, followed by an Honours in Law, all at the Australian National University (ANU). She has embraced unique tertiary experiences – from working as a court guide at the High Court to tutoring a summer course on Government Decision Making at ANU and assisting Emerita Professor Robin Creyke with research. Another top Flinders scholar, Justin Holland, embraced his general excellence scholarship in Years 11 and 12 in Senior school to achieve college dux in 2021. Justin achieved the state’s highest ATAR

of 99.95 and is studying a Bachelor of Medical Science at the University of the Sunshine Coast to fulfil his dream of becoming a surgeon. A passionate environmentalist, Justin and his twin brother Karl won the 2020 Generation Innovation Challenge for their business Communibee, which provides practical solutions to save the honey bee.

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

Mercury, Venus and Mars are activating your career/reputation/ life direction zone. So it’s time to focus on where you are going, whether that’s your job, volunteer work or your long-term goals. Plus you’re in the mood to take a risk and do something daring.

The planets activate your hopes and wishes and aspirations zones. So it’s a terrific time to dream big dreams, set inspirational goals and make fabulous long-term plans. You’re keen to explore professional ideas via talking, reading and/or writing.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20) When it comes to a close relationship, if you are proactive, look for the best in the person and work hard on your communication skills, then the partnership will improve in leaps and bounds. Mercury and Uranus are activating your humanitarian zone.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22) You’ll experience the greatest satisfaction if you share your goals with other people. Collaboration is the key. But are you bored to bits with a partnership or your usual routine? With five planets activating your travel-and-adventure zone, faraway places beckon.

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

This week’s stars are perfect for problem-solving and creative brainstorming. You’ll find close partnerships work best if you accept your responsibilities with a smile. The more you are of service to others, the more your connections will deepen.

Romance is in the air, so make the most of the magical vibes. Community and educational pursuits are also favoured. When communicating with others, by all means be creative but don’t get carried away and end up distorting the facts.

This week is fabulous for job offers and promotions, professional projects and socialising with work mates. But Leo leaders need to consider: Am I leading others or just bossing them around? Do your best to listen closely.

This week Mercury, Venus and Mars are all transiting through Capricorn. So you’ll be at your clever, charismatic, proactive best most of the time and your cautious worst the rest of the time. Try to maximise the positives and minimise the negatives.

The sun and Pluto are visiting your sign, so you’ll be twice as much fun. You’re searching for creative answers to persistent problems. You’re also feeling adventurous and are keen to revamp an area of your life, but you may meet some resistance.

It’s time to banish boredom and extend yourself in challenging new directions. Monday is your luckiest day and Friday is your most creative day (when your ruler Neptune boosts intuition and imagination).

DOORS OPEN TO HOUSING FUND AS RENTERS FALL BEHIND IN STRUGGLE TO FIND AFFORDABLE HOMES But first-home buyers lead the way with new loan commitments, as experts predict Reserve Bank will keep interest rates on hold for now.

Minister for Housing Julie Collins promised to reinvigorate the sluggish home-building sector, pledging to deliver 1.2 million new dwellings over five years. A major piece in the housing puzzle was set in place this month, when applications opened for the government’s Housing Australia Future Fund. Housing Minister Julie Collins says the fund, along with the National Housing

AAP

enters already struggling to find affordable homes are falling further behind, new data reveals, as funding for a landmark government housing policy comes online. For a second year in a row, rental prices grew faster than home values, property data group CoreLogic has reported. Rent values increased at 8.3 per cent in 2023, outstripping the 8.1 per cent rise in house prices and eclipsing the four per cent rise in wages for the 12 months to September. It follows a 9.5 per cent increase in rents in 2022 and a 9.6 per cent jump in 2021. With rental vacancies at historic lows, additional supply is desperately needed in the market to drive prices down. While dwelling approvals trended slightly higher in 2023, they remained relatively low. Monthly dwelling approvals averaged 13,760 a month for the past six months, below the decade average of 17,254, CoreLogic revealed. The Albanese government has

Accord, will deliver 40,000 social and affordable rentals in its first five years. “We are working at every opportunity to get as many homes on the ground as quickly as we can, understanding that this is a difficult task and we can’t turn this around immediately,” she says. Ms Collins acknowledges a shortage of skilled workers is constraining the construction industry’s ability to deliver new homes, but says the government’s investments in fee-free TAFE and migration changes will help alleviate the issue. “We’re also looking at innovative construction methods,” she says. “I know that in Queensland and in Western Australia and Victoria, they’re looking at modular housing and alternative construction methods so that we can get homes up as quickly as we can.” Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows first-home buyers have increased their share of the market, despite rising interest rates. “It’s first-home buyers who are leading

the way with new lending commitments up by 2.8 per cent for the month and 25.8 per cent for the year,” Canstar finance expert Steve Mickenbecker says. That’s compared to an 18 per cent increase in investor loans for the year. “First-home buyers have in recent years had to weather the impact of rate rises on borrowing power,” Mr Mickenbecker adds. There is good news for prospective home buyers, with most experts predicting the Reserve Bank to keep rates on hold in February, before it begins its cutting cycle by the end of 2024. In a Finder survey of 19 experts and economists, 17 believe the RBA will hold the cash rate at 4.35 per cent at its next meeting. More than half predict at least one rate cut by September. Graham Cooke, head of consumer research at Finder, says Australians are in desperate need of a reprieve, with four-in-10 mortgage holders struggling to pay their mortgage in December. – AAP.

STAGE 1 TITLES REGISTERED, THE ENCLAVE MALENY OFFERS COUNTRY LIFESTYLE WITH CITY CONVENIENCE

nly seven lots remain to be sold in the first stage of The Enclave Maleny: an exclusive residential community offering an expansive hinterland lifestyle within walking distance of the vibrant town centre. The lots, which are ready to build on, are priced from $530,000 to $659,000, and range in size from 800sqm to 1728sqm. They provide stunning views to Obi Obi Creek and the Maleny township. More than 12,000 shrubs and trees will have been planted once the development has been completed, adding to the scenic setting of this quality residential estate. Upon completion, The Enclave Maleny’s five stages will consist of 74 lots. A small adjacent parcel of land off Tallowwood Street in a separate cul-desac will also be developed to provide another 15 large homesites. Sales agent Cathie Price says premium residential land is scarce on the Sunshine Coast. “This is a community for those who want to live the good life in an ideally

positioned country setting,” she says. “It provides buyers with a canvas to design and build their ‘forever’ home.” Full development approval has been granted across all stages of the $54 million project, which is the closest new-land release to Maleny’s town centre and local schools. Its large lots are proving popular with families, young professionals, downsizers coming off acreage, and retirees seeking to settle in a convenient, hinterland environment with room to store a

caravan. Close to all services and amenities, lots are linked to the township by a wide, landscaped path which provides a flat, easy walk into the heart of Maleny. The project is being developed by Mooloolaba-based company RM Developments: a property investment and development firm owned by former Army colleagues Remi Rafter and Josh Myers. RM Developments is a fast-growing company with a strong development pipeline. It is delivering 26 projects

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Okay, we are approaching cyclone season but we need one to form a bit south, if possible. I was surfing with 70 of my closest friends on the weekend, with half of them not knowing what to do. The carnage was real – as was the frustration. My advice? Remove the surf cameras. Maybe a big solid swell might thin the crowd a bit. Hopefully people understand their limits. Surf safe and be careful when letting go of your board.
