MOTORWAY ON AGENDA THE COMMUNUTY IS SET TO HAVE ITS SAY ON A MUCH-ANTICIPATED SUNSHINE MOTORWAY UPGRADE PLAN THAT TAKES IN COOLUM, PEREGIAN SPRINGS AND PEREGIAN BREEZE.

Increasing the number of lanes on the Motorway has been mooted since initial Motorway upgrade concept planning began in 2008 with a public consultion. A further Department of Transport and Main Roads planning review (in 2017) confirmed duplication remained in the planning mix with a DTMR spokesperson telling local media in January 2018 that a key feature of future planning would include “Duplication of the existing roads from two to four lanes, with provision for six Peregian Springs News - April 2021

lanes in the future, if required.” Now in 2021, the Motorway upgrade appears a step closer with funding allocated to further planning starting in August, set to include a “community feedback” process. In a statement to Peregian Springs News on March 31 the DTMR spokesperson said “Duplicating Sunshine Motorway to meet projected traffic demands north of Pacific Paradise remains a priority... “Key concept design features include widening the motorway from two to four lanes, new interchanges at Yandina– Coolum Road and Peregian Springs Drive/Murdering Creek Road roundabouts, and active transport facilities for pedestrians and bike riders.

FROM THE ED’S DESK APRIL HAS MADE A HOPEFUL START WITH LOCKDOWN LIFTS MAKING LIFE A BIT EASIER.

That means we’re relatively free to meet and greet and enjoy the many special events (COVID safely of course) over this cooler month and school holidays which is good news for locals and businesses. Getting from A to B by car, walking or cycling is an issue and there’s a new Motorway upgrade planning study on the way with big changes possible. You’ll have the chance to have your say on what you’d like to see (pages 1 and 3). Peregian Family and Friends has been working on local issues and the cycle/ pedestrian path from Breeze to Beach is a

step closer (see p22). The slight change in the weather brings the chance to do something different and Coolum High School Chaplain Mark Horsfall faced his own rock wall in the last month and shares some tips for trying something new (p32) So much still coming up. Bookfest Noosa is back giving locals the chance to re-stock your bookshelves at bargain prices, all to help suicide prevention research (see p34), Anzac Day services are on (as at going to print) see page 10 for details along with a sobering guide to Gallipoli by local avid traveller Lenette Paul (see p36 ). How fees and levies in Ridges are spent comes up for review this month at the Ridges Principal Body Corporate AGM (email cloridges@hotmail.com for more information) See you next month, Rebecca

COVID BRINGS DANCERS HOME WITH COVID CLOSING THEATRES AND BORDERS ACROSS THE WORLD, THREE ELITE DANCERS HAVE RETURNED TO PEREGIAN SPRINGS AND THE PLACE WHERE THEIR BALLET DREAMS TOOK FLIGHT.

Scarlett O’Reilley, Tilly Cleyne and Alfie Shacklock (pictured right) returned to train and teach at The Dance Centre Peregian Springs, where they’ve spent many years in the past perfecting the steps that have launched their international careers. Alfie, a 14-year veteran of The Dance Centre Peregian Springs, has been back on the Sunshine Coast and studying remotely with the Royal Ballet School in London in a bid to ride out the worst of England’s COVID lockdown. He kept his toes dance-ready with extra Master Classes at Peregian Springs. He also helped teach some of the Junior Ballet classes and rehearsed the Junior Performance

Group for a performance at the St Mary’s Aged Care Centre at Coolum in February. Tilly, a TDCPS student for six years, has won a scholarship to study at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy Scholarship in September. For now, she has been teaching a Senior Contemporary Class as well as rehearsing the Intermediate and Senior Contemporary groups ready for performing and competing in April/May. She is also preparing to audition for a place in a European Ballet Company (COVID permitting) which would see her perform in Europe before her scholarship begins later this year. Scarlett has returned to the Peregian Springs Dance Centre after a stint at the Australian Ballet School in Melbourne. She’s now back as a Full Time Vocational Classical Ballet student at The Dance Centre Peregian Springs where she has been honing her Pas de deux skills with Alfie in readiness

peregianspringsnews.com.au

for an exam while also preparing with the other vocational students to dance in community events and elite classical ballet competitions. On the competition front, it’s not just the talented trio of international stars who have been shining of late at TDCPS. A recent trip to Brisbane to compete in the Jacqueline Morland Award saw the centre place 11 finalists, someone in every level of

the event, and two senior finalists in the Gold Centenary competition. Big winners at that event included Yamina, runner up in the Level 3 JMA finals, Yve - who won the new Artistry Award, Evie Wilson who won Level 4 JMA and a scholarship to the Australian Ballet School, Scarlett who won Level 5 and Sophie who won an encouragement award in Level 6.

The latest plans for the site are for 38 residential units, 4 Soho units and two food and drink outlets.

PLASTIC BANS ON THE CARDS THE WAR ON PLASTIC HAS BEGUN WITH A NUMBER OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC ITEMS, COMMONLY GIVEN OUT WITH TAKE-AWAY FOOD, SET TO BE BANNED UNDER A PROPOSED QUEENSLAND LAW.

Starting with plastic straws, stirrers, plates and cutlery, the aim of the Waste Reduction and Recycling (Plastic Items) Amendment Bill 2020 (the Bill) is to ban the supply of singleuse plastic items to reduce plastic pollution from this source, by 20 per cent by 2023. It also aims to encourage consumers and retailers to use alternatives to single-use plastic items and provides an opportunity for manufacturers to design and innovate for sustainable alternatives. Items currently exempt from the proposed ban are compostible single-use plastic items and items that are part of a pre-packaged product (eg a straw attached to a juice box; a fork included in a pre-packed salad; a spoon attached to a yoghurt container or a plate included in a frozen meal). The proposed ban doesn’t apply to everyone though. Hospitals, Aged Care, pharmacies, medical and dental clinics and schools are still able to use single-use plastic items however, the Committee supported reviewing the exemption provided for schools at a later date. The Bill also allows for further single use plastic items to be added to the list at a later date through Regulations. So, potentially further single-use plastic items, beyond the currently suggested straws, cutlery, plates, bowls and stirrers, could be banned. Heavyweight (boutique) plastic shopping bags were not included in the ban as development of a national code of practice for sustainable shopping bags is currently underway to address these bags. Since it was introduced to State Parliament by Labor last December, a Parliamentary 12

committee was tasked with consulting with a number of stakeholders about the Bill’s coverage and impact. The Sunshine Coast Environment Council and the National Retail Association were among those whose views were sought. The Committee, comprising members from Labor, LNP and One Nation Party, tabled it’s report on 12 February, with the report indicating stakeholders, including SCEC, supporting the legislation’s introduction. Overall, the Committee’s report recommends the Bill be passed and is due for a vote by MPs in State Parliament in the coming months. However, if the law is passed, the ban won’t take effect straight away with the State’s Minister for the Environment & the Great Barrier Reef, Science & Youth Affairs, Megan Scanlon telling Parliament in December that there will be a flexibility to the start date “to ensure there is not undue impost on businesses that may still be recovering from COVID-19 restrictions.” The National Retail Association also supported a delayed start to the ban with statements in the Committee Report, attributed to the Association, indicating there’s a concern that any snap ban may lead to retailers having to throw away large amounts of pre-purchased single-use plastic stock into landfill, with the Association also identifying the need for “extensive consumer education as soon as possible to ensure consumers are prepared for the change and backlash on businesses is avoided..” To read the Parliament Committee report see https://www.parliament. qld.gov.au/documents/tableOffice/ TabledPapers/2021/5721T53.pdf For more information on the laws or to suggest other items that should be on the banned list, get in touch with our State Member for Ninderry Dan Purdie. peregianspringsnews.com.au

DYING LAWS ONE STEP CLOSER THE QUEENSLAND LAW REFORM COMMISSION HAS COMPLETED ITS REVIEW UPDATE ON A PROPOSED LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR VOLUNTARY ASSISTED DYING.

Queensland Attorney General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman said the update was the first step in delivering an important reform for Queensland and ensuring the community has a choice when it comes to voluntary-assisted dying and end-of-life decisions. The QLRC review examined 124 submissions on the proposed laws. The QLRC was not charged with considering whether or not Queensland should have voluntary assisted dying legislation. It was asked to recommend the “best legal framework” for Queensland and to identify principles to underpin the

proposed legislation. “I understand that this is a deeply personal issue for so many Queenslanders and it is something I am determined to see happen,” Mrs Fentiman said when tabling the QLRC report to Parliament on February 24. “I believe everyone should have choices about how they end their life and have dignity in death. “While the inquiry time was extended, there will be a shorter implementation period of 15 months to ensure there is no delay in Queenslanders being able to have a choice on voluntary assisted dying and end-of-life decisions.” As part of the recent State Election the Palaszczuk Government promised to make voluntary assisted dying legislation a priority of this term of Government.

SCHOOLS - ST ANDREW’S SCHOOL CAPTAINS

ST ANDREW’S COLLEGE CAPTAINS

St Andrew’s Anglican College captains Robbie Buxton and Alice Ayton.

THIS MONTH WE CAUGHT UP WITH THE COLLEGE CAPTAINS AT ST ANDREW’S AND ASKED FOR THEIR THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP AND THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEIR SCHOOL. ALICE AYTON

What inspired you to nominate for school Captain? I nominated for College Captain because I wanted to give back to the school by inspiring other students to grasp every opportunity around them. The school has been a big part of shaping who I am today and has given me many experiences which I am so incredibly grateful for. What do you think being a leader means? I think leadership involves canvasing a broad range of ideas to achieve an optimal outcome. I hope people feel that they can look to me for guidance and support, contribute equally and be themselves, so we all feel we are leading together. What do you love about your school? St Andrew’s always has an overwhelming Peregian Springs News - April 2021

sense of community right throughout the school. Students have so many friends outside their own year level through co-curricular activities and teachers are always going above and beyond to create a relationship with their students. Feeling so welcomed and comfortable is something I love about St Andrew’s. How do you hope the school will benefit from your time as Captain? Our leadership team hopes to implement programs that deliver benefits this year and beyond. For example, we have initiatives underway for linking the year 12 cohort with the primary school that will not only help this year but can become an ongoing part of the school’s community endeavours. I hope that I am able to grow as a leader and inspire others around me to make the most of the amazing opportunities at St Andrew’s. If you were Prime Minister what would you change and why? That is not an easy question to answer. Continued page 18 17

From page 17... Perhaps, given my sense of community I would invest more resources for our older generations, especially care and support mechanisms to provide our grandparents with the best quality of life throughout their later years.

can. The staff are fantastic - so encouraging, they really go above and beyond. Whether it’s the principal or a new teacher, or the administrative staff, the cleaners and groundsman - everyone does their absolute best, and you can see they are proud be a part of St Andrew’s.

ROBBIE BUXTON

What inspired you to nominate for school Captain? Ever since I became a part of the St. Andrew’s Community in Prep, I was impressed by both students and staff. They were consistently upholding the values of the college - Vision and Spirit – not only to each other, but also to the wider Peregian Springs community. The school captains before me have consistently demonstrated passionate leadership which inspired the students of the college, particularly me, to uphold similar values. As my cohort approached Year 12, I knew I wanted to do the same. It was an honour to be selected as Captain with Alice and I endeavour to maintain the legacies left by the previous Captains before me. What do you think being a leader means? Being a leader is about putting others before yourself and doing everything in your power to see them become the best they can be. It is sacrificing your opinions and speaking of behalf of those who can’t. Being a leader is to treat people equally; to support, encourage and motivate everyone through both successes and hardships. Being a leader is also about accepting that all humans, especially leaders are flawed, and to ensure that these flaws can be utilized into strengths and growth opportunities for the individual and the community to which they are leading. What do you love about your school? The entire college community is amazing. There is a unique bond amongst the students. We all feel “Diamond Strong” and we all look out for each other, encourage and support each other to be the very best we 18

How do you hope the school will benefit from your time as Captain? Being selected as school Captain shortly after we resumed school in our new COVID normal, I noticed some unease in the college community. I believe this was due to the challenges of students learning online and the sense of disconnect that accompanied this. Because we are the second year 12 cohort to experience the trials and tribulations of COVID19, I believe that on a leadership level we can set the example and work towards creating an environment that embraces our new COVID normal. As a result, I hope to help guide the school towards being comfortable with being uncomfortable in an uncertain future environment and continue to build a legacy of positive connections between both staff and students. It is important that Alice and I influence the college in a positive, encouraging way and I hope to be remembered as a captain that wanted the best for everyone. If you were Prime Minister what would you change and why? If I were Prime Minister, I would seek to move Australian culture further towards reconciliation. Traditional land ownership rights should be something we acknowledge and recognize more willingly and if I were in a position of governmental power, I would elect to initiate new laws that support and protect the rights of the Indigenous custodians of our land. I would hope to further inspire other Australian’s to be allies, strive to listen more and to propose that indigenous education be a primary component of studies at all levels in Australia. peregianspringsnews.com.au

Another excellent result for us, from this dedicated Agent VENDOR REVIEW:

Peter & Lee Harding

181 Old Emu Mountain Rd, Peregian Beach

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 certainly weren’t disappointed. Wayne hasn’t lost any of his ability to sell a house quickly, and for 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 two days and achieved a price which was much more than we expected. His no frills approach, market knowledge, hard work and excellent communication skills, make selling a house an enjoyable experience. Well done again Wayne, thanks for a wonderful result for us.

SAFE BIKE PATH ROLLS ON WORK CONTINUES BEHIND THE SCENES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL SAFE PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE PATH LINKS BETWEEN PEREGIAN SPRINGS, PEREGIAN BREEZE AND PEREGIAN BEACH.

The Peregian Family and Friends Safe Bike Path working group sent submissions on two proposed routes to Noosa Regional Council and Sunshine Coast Regional Council in March seeking to progress thinking on plan options and gain support in time to be part of the Queensland State Government’s South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan five-year review. A PFAF spokesman said the purpose of the submission was to provide both Councils with enough information and logic to enable them to support our proposal, via the SCRC Sunshine Coast Active Transport Plan and

the Noosa Cycling and Walking Strategy. He said the Department of Transport and Main Roads is supportive of an interconnecting cycle path, as road safety is their top priority, and they had advised Peregian Family and Friends to make the submissions as the next step in the process. With Council support for either option, Peregian Family and Friends will be able to formally approach The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to include the necessary roadworks (which could include an over/underpass across Emu Mountain Road) in the current 5 year SEQ Principal Cycle Network Plan. “The wheels are moving slowly, but Peregian Family and Friends is continuing to work with the necessary bodies toward a positive outcome for our members and residents,” a PFAF spokesman said.

GRANTS OFFER SUPPORT HAPPY EASTER

I hope everyone had a safe Easter, and that you were able to spend some time relaxing in the company of friends and family.

Just a reminder, masks remain mandatory until 15 April: • Mandatory masks in public indoor spaces, including shopping centres, indoor workplaces and public transport • Masks must be carried whenever you leave home • Patrons must remain seated at food and beverage establishments and the twosquare-metre rule will apply • Household gatherings will be limited to 30 people • No dancing in public venues • Outdoor events can proceed with a COVIDsafe plan but if attendees are unable to socially distance, masks must be worn • No personal visitors allowed at aged care homes, disability care, hospitals and correctional facilities, with some exceptions for end-of-life care If you have any questions regarding the latest advice, don’t hesitate to give me a call.

CHAPPY’S CORNER WITH MARK HORSFALL - COOLUM HIGH SCHOOL CHAPLAIN

NEVER SAY NEVER... MY FRIENDS HAVE ASKED ME TO GO ROCK CLIMBING NUMEROUS TIMES BUT I HAVE NEVER GONE.

I was fixed in my thinking that I wouldn’t be strong enough. Last week though I went on an excursion with our school’s Success Program Students rock climbing. I had every intention just to watch but was coerced into participating. I was blown away with how much I enjoyed it and how many walls I climbed. My fixed mindset had been holding me back!!! A Fixed Mindset believes that your basic qualities, like intelligence, talents and abilities are simply fixed traits. You are good or bad at something and natural talent is largely responsible for success. A Growth Mindset believes that talents, abilities and intelligence can be developed and that you can get smarter and more talented through effort, attitude and work. Often, we have a fixed mindset towards areas that are not our strength. We tell ourselves that, “It’s too hard for me to …”, “I’m not good at …”, “My personality doesn’t …”. Most of the time, if we’re honest, what we are really saying when we think this way is that we don’t want to put in the work and effort required. The best musicians practice every day, competitive athletes train hard every week to perform well and those who have financial success work hard to get it. Many of them have learnt or developed the

skills necessary over time. What sets these people apart though is their dedication to daily practice. It is the practice and repetition that helps create competency. They also possess the attitude and willingness to put in the effort and hard work to see success. All too often I see students write themselves off as being no good at something simply because they are not willing to put in the practice, hard work and effort. One of my all-time favorite quotes is “practice makes perfect”. If you have the right attitude, are willing to put in the hard work and effort, then you will be surprised at what you can achieve. I wonder, have you wanted to do something but thought it impossible? Why not give it a go? See you on the rock wall.

WHAT’S ON

CELEBRATING LIFE AT CLOUDLAND Cloudland Ballroom, the iconic Brisbane concert hall, played hitmaker and matchmaker to many in its heydays from the 1940’s - before Rock’n’Roll was born, through to the 80’s., post punk ‘New Wave’ movement. But the venue’s controversial overnight demolition in 1982 took many people by surprise. Such was the popularity of the venue, here and overseas. The era’s not lost. Thanks to nine years of research into the real events, Cloudland the Musical Producers have brought the music, drama and controversy back in full colour with an extraordinary cast of 30 world-class dancers, musicians and actors choreographed by Kylie Wall. Producers say “Cloudland the Musical, is in part, a chronological journey of factual information collected from acts, musicians, dancers and staff of Cloudland and their first hand accounts of experiences there. These

factual elements have then been interwoven into the story of a fictitious, yet typically Australian suburban family and the way in which Cloudland impacts each of their lives, from the post war 1940s to early 1980s.” The show’s music is mainly Aussie works, many of which have been arranged for the production’s 9-piece band.

Cloudland the Musical plays at the Caloundra Events Centre on 22 May is recommended for ages 12 + . For more information and tickets see www.cloudlandthemusical.com. Supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
