MINION’S MAYHEM Join in the fun with Flicks on the Park

Happy New Year! We take a look at what’s coming for Coolum in 2022.

BRING ON THE NEW YEAR AS THE FIRST DAYS OF JANUARY ROLL BY COOLUM COMES ONE STEP CLOSER TO SEEING THE COMPLETION, AND THE BEGINNINGS, OF A NUMBER LARGE PROJECTS IN THE REGION.

This year will see further progress on the proposed widening of the Sunshine Coast Motorway. While most likely a lot of work will be behind the scenes, the community input taken late last year will be compiled and built into planning for work that simply must be done - it’s just a matter of when. Work is continuing on the Barns Lane Farm proposal near Coolum State School, the latest information from the owners saying they will have a food hall, a distillery and a brewery as part of the venue which is shaping Coolum News - January 2022

up to be something completely different for our region. It is estimated the build will take 10 to 12 months once all approvals are in place, so its possible this project will be complete for Christmas. Another project to watch for is the Saturday markets at Jack Morgan Park backed by Coolum Business & Tourism. The winning name for these was “Salty Saturdays”. A final court decision on the scale of development to be allowed at Sekisui House at Yaroomba is expected too, with judgement still pending since March 2021. The Supreme Court action by Development Watch requested the development be sent back to the Planning and Environment Court for a review by a different Judge.

FROM THE ED’S DESK HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In this month’s edition of Coolum News we’ve taken a look at the current housing crisis and sought comments from our local representatives on what’s being done out there to try and find a solution. It’s certainly a complex issue which is having a very real impact for families in our region. One quote that still stands out to me from this story is that it is now becoming unaffordable for families earning less than $80,000 a year to rent privately on the Sunshine Coast. The challenges are forcing innovation though and it’s great to see Dan Purdie share the story of local business Aussie Tiny Homes which is doing what it can to provide accommodation options at an affordable price. We’ve also hit the websites and events pages

to put together a solid list of things to do in January in our part of the Coast and beyond, including Flicks on the Park at Tickle Park and a Cocktail Festival at the end of the month at the NightQuarter. If wedding bells are ringing for you in 2022, the story on the wedding expo on January 9 will be worth a read too. With the early Christmas deadlines the magazine will be at the printer before a lot of the Christmas events, Flicks on the Park, and the like are held, which means we sadly haven’t been able to share social photos of the fun. Congratulations to the local businesses and volunteers who have once again pulled together a great schedule of holiday fun for our tourists and locals alike. Fantastic work! Thanks for your support of this local business as we hit edition number 18. I look forward to sharing many more this year. Geoff

RENT HIKES PUSH FAMILIES OUT RISING RENTS AND RECORD HOUSE PRICES ARE DRIVING AN ACCOMMODATION CRISIS ACROSS THE SUNSHINE COAST WITH FAMILIES BEING PRICED OUT OF THE MARKET.

The recently released Rental Affordability Index, part of report compiled by National Shelter, SGS Economics & Planning, the Brotherhood of St Laurence and Beyond Bank Australia, shows rents on the Sunshine Coast are becoming unaffordable for anyone earning less than $80,000 a year. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s latest homelessness statistics released on December 7, 2021 shows the 1600 services that report in to the Institute nationally assisted 278,300 clients from June 2020 to June 2021. Next to COVID-19, the stories of families living in cars or on friend’s couches or moving away from the Coast to find somewhere affordable to live, have become one of the most regular topics of conversations of late and an almost daily feature of local social media groups. For State Member for Ninderry Dan Purdie stories of families in crisis come all to regularly. “Our region, like many other parts of the state and the country, is in the grip of a housing affordability and homelessness crisis,” Mr Purdie said. “There’s rarely a week that goes by that I am not talking to locals at risk of homelessness, forced out of their homes through no fault of their own or unable to get into the property market. The stories are heartbreaking, and it’s clear that all levels of government need to do more.” Mr Purdie said there were 3,000 social houses on the Sunshine Coast, and in July, the REIQ had reported 0.6% of private rentals were vacant. Meanwhile there are close to 1,800 local families waiting for public housing. Coolum News - January 2022

“We know that the Sunshine Coast is one of the most expensive property markets, with a median house price of $825,000,” he said. “Combined with the impact of COVID, which has placed an enormous strain on housing availability and affordability, the threat of homelessness has never been greater. “We also know that social housing expenditure per head in Queensland was $132 in 2019/20, down from $135 in 2018/19. This is the second lowest spend rate across the country. “This lack of investment is compounded by poor planning and foresight on the state government’s behalf when it comes to the approval of new dwellings in Queensland. Residential building approvals have dropped by close to 40% since 2014/15. “Much more investment in social housing is needed if we are serious about finding solutions to this complex issue. “Right here in our own backyard, Coolumbased company Aussie Tiny Homes is filling an urgent gap in the market, and has partnered with Noosa Council to provide affordable housing. “They predict they will build over 200 tiny mobile homes next year, which can be used CONTINUED, PAGE 5 3

FROM PAGE 3 ... for emergency accommodation or granny flats. “And while there’s not one easy solution, all three levels of government have a shared responsibility to work more collaboratively to address it. “At the moment, we are seeing charities doing the heavy lifting, but this isn’t sustainable in the long term.” A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson said while Council’s planning scheme had provided for a wide range of housing and development types to accommodate projected growth to 2031, it was only part of the equation. “Bringing housing to market requires the development industry to obtain approvals and physically develop the land,” the spokesperson said. “Council is working with land developers to improve the plan sealing process and deliver residential land to the market to take advantage of various incentive packages that have been available to homebuyers. “The Queensland Government is the lead agency responsible for reducing homelessness in Queensland and provides public housing and funding to housing and homelessness services. The spokesperson said that the Council had taken a range of steps to ease the challenges of homelessness, including: • Partnered to deliver the COVID-19 Housing Crisis Response in partnership with the State Government and IFYS Ltd, including establishing a Homelessness Hub at the Sunshine Coast Stadium. • Participated in the local Place-Based Response Team and Care Coordination Groups to report on and coordinate support for people rough-sleeping and experiencing homelessness. • Facilitated the Mayoral Roundtable on

Homelessness to identify priority actions to support the Sunshine Coast housing and homelessness sector. • Published the Housing and Homelessness Directory to improve access to information and referrals to community services. • Advocated to other levels of government to prioritise action on homelessness, social and housing affordability initiatives. • Worked collaboratively with the State Government, IFYS Ltd and the University of the Sunshine Coast to undertake a research project which involves an evaluation of the Sunshine Coast COVID-19 Housing Crisis Response and examination of homelessness on the Coast. • Provided grants to support community organisations to deliver projects that support our vulnerable community members. The State Government announced in June this year that it was investing $1.9 billion over four years and creating a $1 billion Housing Investment Fund to boost housing supply across Queensland. Minister for Housing Leeanne Enoch said the Queensland Housing Strategy Action Plan 2021-2025 would “fast-track projects and initiatives that will increase the supply of social housing, seek proposals to develop underutilised state land, and deliver mixeduse developments. “The Government is increasing the supply of social and affordable housing by almost 10,000 over the life of our Housing Strategy, including 7,400 new builds over the next four years under the Queensland Housing Investment Growth Initiative (QHIGI).” Families requiring assistance can call the Homelessness Hotline on 1800 474 753 and the operator will put them in touch with the most relevant service for their situation and location.

Another excellent result from this dedicated agent VENDOR REVIEW: Peter & Lee Harding When we decided to test the market and get an appraisal from an agent we decided to use Wayne Hay. Having previously sold a house nearby with Wayne as our agent, we knew what we would get, an honest, hard working bloke who knows his market area and utilises the modern technologies to achieve excellent results. We weren’t disappointed. Wayne hadn’t lost any of his ability to sell a house quickly and for an excellent prices. Our previous house sale was under contract in four days but Wayne went one better with our recent sale he had it under contract in 2 days and achieved a price which was much more than we expected. His no frills approach, market knowledge and hard work and excellent communication skills make selling a house an enjoyable experience. Well done again Wayne thanks for a wonderful result for us.

WHAT’S ON

NEW YEAR’S ULTRA-TRAIL TEST BY FIONA EWINGTON AS WE SAY GOODBYE TO ANOTHER FESTIVE HOLIDAY, NEW YEAR PROMISES ALL KINDS OF SELF-MADE RESOLUTIONS AND FOR SOME, THIS MEANS TAKING MORE TIME FOR OURSELVES AND BECOMING MORE ACTIVE.

But as the routine starts up again, even with our best intentions, it is easy to fall back into our old ways unless there is a goal. With a new local event showcasing some of Noosa’s undiscovered hinterland, The Noosa Ultra-Trail promises to bring a new experience to ordinary locals and experienced athletes who are keen to discover the terrain of our subtropical parks and forests. The brainchild of Noosa local Nick Stewart, pictured, an enthusiastic ultra-trail athlete, he is now proud to show off our wonderful backyard outside of sandy beaches and fine dining. A distance for everyone, these trails are achievable to those with various fitness levels to enjoy. Noosa’s hinterland is thick with trails taking cyclists and horse riders through its wonderful paths and Nick is delighted to present our beautiful region to both experienced and inexperienced trail runners. Carefully mapping out 6 different courses, utilising sections of the existing trail network, all with different lengths and exposure, Nick has planned his distances to the finest detail. “I’ve enjoyed some amazing experiences while trailing in Europe and Australia, so I wanted to bring everything that I love about the sport to Noosa” Nick explains. We have shorter trails for beginners who may simply chose to walk the distance but with extensive trails of up to 100 km it is 12

advised that only experienced runners take on those challenges. There are organised course marshal attendants, check point stations and a range of crew ensuring that all runners and walkers are looked after. All distances will include steep climbs, narrow pathed valleys, uneven terrain, and guaranteed adventure. The weekend also includes an extensive range of experiences including yoga classes, ferry cruise, and an exclusive lunch with guest speakers creating an inclusive environment for athletes’ families. Adhering to parks and wildlife conservation experts, athlete numbers are restricted so turning away people will not be easy but if the event is a success, we can do it all again another day! For anyone without a horse or a mountain bike and keen to visit these elusive trails, being part of the event could be quite exciting. The shortest distance is 15km and a good training ground would be to walk or run from Sunshine Beach to Coolum. A new year, a new event, a new challenge, what is there not to love about celebrating our beautiful region.
