Council is ready to negotiate a 10-year lease with Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club as it takes another big step towards true independence.
SURF CLUB LEASE DEAL THE JOURNEY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE PEREGIAN BEACH SURF LIFESAVING CLUB RECEIVED ANOTHER BOOST ON APRIL 21 WHEN NOOSA COUNCILLORS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO AUTHORISE COUNCIL’S CEO TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS FOR A 10-YEAR LEASE OF THE CLUBHOUSE AND SURROUNDS AT PEREGIAN BEACH.
Speaking to the motion at the meeting Councillor Amelia Lorenston took time to thank the community groups who had been instrumental in gathering support Eastern Beaches News - May 2022
for the club’s revival. The Councillors voted to approve the lease subject to a number of conditions, including having the lessee: • Publish annual reporting of progress toward establishment of the new Peregian Beach SLSC for the first three years of operations; • Set aside a suitable area for Surf Lifesaving Queensland to oversee Noosa Shire contract lifeguard operations as per the Surf Lifesaving Queensland Sunshine Coast Branch proposal; Continued, page 2

CLUB LEASE A POSITIVE STEP FROM PAGE 1 • Agreeing that opportunities for ratepayer financial support will be by application through Council’s community grants program and no commitment is provided by Council for direct ratepayer financial support • Agreeing that building maintenance will be at Council’s discretion subject to its independent assessment and asset maintenance planning; The motion also noted Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Inc’s. request to operate the Peregian Beach Markets from May 2022 and authorised the CEO to issue the appropriate permit once Council has received a properly made application and undertaken its normal assessment process. Councillors agreed to consider as part of the 2022-2023 budget deliberations the allocation of $71,000 per annum plus CPI (for a total of
three years) to fund SLSQ contract lifeguard services on Saturdays and public holidays in the surf lifesaving patrol season (September to May) for the purposes of providing lifesaving service continuity at Peregian Beach and also agreed to consider as part of the 2022-2023 budget deliberations the allocation of $90,000 to re-paint the clubhouse building. A final element of the motion was to allow the application of the exception to the requirement for tendering of the lease under Section 236 (1) (b) (ii) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 as the lease is to a community organisation. The previous incarnation of the PBSLSC closed in 2014 with Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club stepping in to assist financially and physically by taking on beach patrols and management of training and support. The intent was to try and assist in the rebuilding process with a view to bringing

back an independent club if, and when, the community support was there to make it possible. As of May 2, Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club formally handed responsibility for patrolling Peregian Beach over to the newly incorporated PBSLSC, although it is clear from the PBSLSC’s first AGM that support will still be there from NHSLSC to help the new club meet its patrol requirements and help it to grow over the next three years. From September 2022, PBSLSC members will provide patrol coverage on Sundays during the season, with the Council funded lifeguards to supporting Saturdays and public holidays. At the PBSLSC AGM, Sunshine Coast Surf Lifesaving president Gerard O’Brien said the ultimate aim was to have 12 full patrols with 8-10 members covering all the required qualifications.
The lease news has been welcomed by Leigh McCready, pictured above with Peregian Nippers Jake, Luke and Ben, who has been a driving force behind the revival of the surf club. With life saving in her veins, having been a former Director of Noosa Heads Surf Club and a Peregian Nippers coordinator, Leigh has spent the past four years rallying supporters and the life saving community to bring back PBSLSC.

SHARK DRAMA LEADS TO RESCUE BY FIONA EWINGTON THE EASTER HOLIDAY BREAK SAW THE EASTERN BEACHES’ SURF UNSTABLE AND MESSY.
High tides tore away more sand dunes and lifeguards advised waste deep bathing only, so it was no surprise that when conditions calmed down, those still on holiday ventured into the sea on Easter Tuesday. What was a surprise was seeing a large shark swimming in the shallows at Sunrise Beach with a large hook through its mouth and attached to a buoy. Local lifeguards were alerted and raced down from Sunshine Beach advising everyone to leave the water, because despite the shark not moving freely, it was still mobile potentially still hunting for food. Beach goers were fascinated by the creature swimming so close. But it was at dusk that the drama unfolded for a local couple, Lloyd Landelle 31 and girlfriend Brittany James-Rayner 26 (pictured) who were enjoying an evening stroll, initially unaware of the shark, but who became involved when they assisted beachgoers to alert swimmers to leave the water. It appeared that not everyone was able to swim to the shore due to the rough conditions. Lloyd spotted a young girl in trouble and despite the hooked shark being close by, swam out to assist her. “With a buoy attached, I figured I would see it coming” Lloyd said. Caught in a fierce rip and battling the strong currents, it was through sheer determination that Lloyd was able to bring the exhausted girl to shore. Quick thinking Brittany raised the alarm and, whilst waiting for emergency services, attempted to swim out, but said the wall of water was too strong. Defeated, she encouraged a young boy with a surfboard to paddle out who nervously but 6

bravely, took to the water and assisted with the rescue using his surfboard. Lloyd said if it wasn’t for the shark sighting, perhaps he and Brittany would not have been there at the crucial time. Little is known about what happened to the wounded shark as it had disappeared when the local fisheries department came to investigate. What is known is that it was strong enough to break away from a 25kg anchor. Our eastern beaches are protected from predators by large drum lines which are seen from the shore and carry baited hooks, designed to prevent wildlife coming too close, and keeping surfers and bathers safe. Without a fatal attack here in 50 years they are deemed effective. However, many would like to see modern technology which send out signals deterring sharks from coming too close replacing the baited drum lines. This initiative has been successfully rolled out in areas of NSW. Whilst underwater predators are in the forethoughts of bathers, the biggest danger our oceans poses are drownings. It could be said that it is not sharks that pose a significant danger in our oceans it is ourselves. easternbeachesnews.com.au

The nature-based, all abilities playground has a variety of play zones to suit all energy levels and is already being well used and loved by so many in our community. ECONOMIC STRATEGY UPDATE
Input from business groups, local operators and industry leaders has been key to developing Council’s new Economic Development Strategy 2021-2030. It aims to deliver a dynamic, resilient economy for future generations. The strategy builds on Council’s ongoing commitment to diversity and grow employment and economic opportunities. It has a real focus on achieving growth in the smart industry sectors. The new strategy reflects the very different world to when the last strategy was adopted in 2016. This new strategy includes the rapidly changing technology industry, a highly mobile workforce, unpredictable nature of Covid-19 and the emerging challenges of talent, workforce and accommodation availability. The 10-year plan connects the strong environmental values of our community to future- focused, technology and data-driven actions to find creative and resourceful solutions to economic and environmental challenges. LIVEABILITY SURVEY FEEDBACK
We continue to garner feedback from our community. The results of our first ever Liveability Survey are in. Thanks to the 1600 plus people who shared what they care about most in their neighbourhoods and gave a rating of their experience.

economy and environment sustainability. A sense of community and the natural environment rank highly as strengths of Noosa Shire. The general condition of public open spaces and walking/cycling paths are also highly valued by the community. The data we have derived will help Council prioritise future investment and works, as well as current budget deliberations. FREE BUSES STILL ON WEEKENDS

STRUM TO YOUR HAPPY PLACE By FIONA EWINGTON For those keen to put a bit of Hawaiian jazz in their Noosa step look no further than the Noosa Marina on Wednesday mornings when it is transformed into a musical hub when the Parkbench Ukulele Players get together for a coffee, a sing song and a ukulele strum. Led by Terry Nolan, affectionally known as the Grand Poobah, The Parkbench Ukulele Players are a group of 80 regulars (over 350 members) who come from all over our region to gather at 10.30am on Wednesdays to play their ukulele and enjoy a singalong. Each person brings their own instrument and ipad, containing their digital songbook of lyrics and chords. They perform together bringing a tropical and musical energy to the Marina. With an accordion for extra pizzazz and ukulele bass keeping the rhythm, while competing for airtime with the Noosa Ferry’s familiar horn - witnessing the ukulele players is a wonderful uplifting experience. The group was created eight years ago, when Terry Nolan and wife Lin started learning Indonesian and were advised to take up the ukulele as it is easier to learn a language through song. Initially rehearsing in the Tewantin RSL Park, using the park bench, (hence their name) the group attracted a strong following. They moved to the Noosa Marina as it offered a better, all-weather, venue, and now the Harbour Wine Bar welcomes the weekly musical group. The ukulele is (generally) a four stringed instrument, resembling a small guitar and is of Portuguese origin, yet popularised in Hawaii. It is a relatively easy instrument to learn and is a great option as a first instrument. Anyone can join the Parkbench Ukulele 16
players and by signing up members are provided with a digital songbook with over 300 songs. It is an enormously fun way to spend a Wednesday morning. Either watching or playing it’s a great atmosphere, taken seriously by some, while others enjoy the challenge of keeping up. To bring a bit of entertainment and “Ooh La la” to the Runaway Noosa event on May 28, the Parkbench Ukulele players will be situated at Cloudsley Street, entertaining and encouraging the competitors to run, while the musicians strum! Welcome to everyone, the Parkbench Ukulele players encourage anyone to come and meet new friends, learn a new skill and enjoy their common aim of laughter, fun and friendship. For more information the Parkbench Ukulele players, drop by on Wednesday at the Noosa Marina between 10.30am and 12pm. easternbeachesnews.com.au

FINANCE TIP with Roger Walsh of Diamond Bay Chartered Accountants To fix or not to fix? It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing question. With interest rates having just risen for the first time in a long time, you might be wondering whether or not to lock in the current low mortgage interest rates. One strategy you can use is to lock in a portion of your mortgage (say 80%) and leave the remaining component (20%) as variable. With the variable component, you can set up an offset account so that you can park any excess funds you may have from time to time and get a 100% saving on that portion of your mortgage interest costs. Make sure the variable component has a no cost redraw facility in case you have an urgent need for those excess funds. So by mixing it up a bit you can achieve some solid savings and retain flexibility to meet unforeseen changes to your circumstances.
