DANCE STARS: London and New York beckon as talented local ballet dancers Alfie Shacklock, Yamina Yehoshua and Evie Wilson continue to shine.
Dancers hit the world stage PASSION, hard work, repetition, world class tuition and tireless attention to detail are just a few of the elements that have come together to bring success to a trio of Peregian Springs based dancers and have them jetting off to the other side of the world these school holidays to continue to grow their dance careers. Alfie Shacklock, Evie Wilson and Yamina Yehoshua, who all study at The Dance Centre Peregian Springs (TDCPS), have taken their dancing to the next level this year. Alfie, 14, won the Alana Haines Supreme Award in New Zealand at Easter, the biggest classical ballet competition in the Southern Hemisphere, and is in London this month at the Royal Ballet School having taken up the offer of a Summer School scholarship. It’s the latest in series of overseas
visits this year, adding to visits to the Dutch National Ballet School, Zurich Academy, The Australian Ballet, Queensland Ballet Academy and The European Ballet School. Evie and Yamina were spotted last year at a Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) workshop in Brisbane and chosen to receive Bolshoi Scholarships to this month’s New York Summer School. TDCPS co-director Deborah PreeceBroksom said the three dancers were “terrifically hard workers and have a motivation to keep going whatever the circumstances”. “These three successful dancers are among 16 local elite Vocational students on our programme all doing incredibly well. “It is all about being talented, motivated, passionate and having the right dance school.”

Another busy month has rolled past with plenty happening around the area. One highlight for me was a reminder that sometimes it’s ok to just say “yes” and figure out what that looks like as you go. I was lucky enough to be invited by some colleagues to join them at the Caloundra Foreshore Fun Run event in June, tackling a 10km track. While I regularly jog a few kilometres around Peregian Springs, I’d never run 10kms. There was no time to train, it was two weeks away. Weighing it up though, I thought I might

be able to make it, it was a chance to spend some time with friends, to enjoy the great outdoors, and worst case, I could always walk over the line. I did run the whole way, my time won’t see me at the next Olympics, but it was great to cross the line knowing that by saying “yes” I had added another great experience to this journey we call life. Congrats to Allie, Shauna, Amei and Di (our page 3 story) for also saying yes, and doing it for a good cause too! I hope you enjoy this edition of Peregian Springs News. Until next month!

Mobile tower considered AN Optus Mobile proposal to build a 43 metre mobile tower at the northern end of Peregian Springs Drive, adjacent to Kingsmill Cct will be considered in the coming months by Sunshine Coast Council. Public comment on the development application closed on July 1 as Peregian Springs News went to print this month. Comments on the Peregian Springs News facebook page suggest mixed feelings among the respondents, with at least one person raising concerns over the potential for 5G transmission and fears around potential health issues from mobile communications. Others seemed excited about the possibility of consistent reception for
4
their mobile devices inside their homes and back yards. It its Planning report on Council's website, Optus says there is a need for a base station in that location because in areas "where a large number or calls are made and greater reliance on internet usage is required" an increased number of base stations are needed to "accommodate the high traffic demand. “This is the current and ongoing issue in Peregian Springs and the surrounding rural locality". Optus says the "proposed facility will relieve congestion from the surrounding base stations which will have a positive knock on effect on the surrounding areas.
www.peregianspringsnews.com.au
Local News "Additionally, the new Optus facility will provide significantly improved network coverage and data capacity, including improved in-building coverage." We are still wading through the company's voluminous development application to Council, but in relation to safety and health the Optus planning report says at the closest group of houses, 400m away, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency EME report showed the "maximum predicted" electromagnetic radiation exposure will be .84% of the ACMA mandated exposure limit. Optus says in its planning report (at page 38) that "this is still considered to be safe". The tower will be set back from the road and will run at reduced emissions when demand for its services are low.

Flight path hotly contested AROUND 300 people turned out on a recent crisp Noosa Saturday to hear the latest on a local fight for a reassessment of flight path design north of Peregian Beach. With reportedly more than 3500 submissions sent by concerned residents to Air Services Australia by the 30 April deadline, ASA is now considering the feedback as part of its final flight path design plans, which it will submit to CASA at the end of July for ‘approval’. The 22 June Public Meeting at The J Noosa, organised by Flight Path Forum (FPF) featured stage panellists Maria Suarez and Charlotte Wensley of FPF and Federal Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien and Noosa Mayor
6
Tony Wellington, The meeting began with the crowd asked to participate in an on-the spot mobile phone survey on various aspects of the public consultation on the proposed flight paths and what their main concerns were with the respondents identifying Noise as their number one concern. President of FPF Maria Suarez outlined the group’s concerns with the Sunshine Coast Council ’s (SCC) 2014 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and the public consultation and public awareness campaigns at the time and since, in relation to the impacts of the new runway. The group’s main concerns centre around Sunshine Coast Council's

Local News apparent lack of direct contact with suburbs directly under the flightpath. Ms Suarez also noted the group’s concern with the flight noise tool on Council’s website which uses noise from a 737 Code C aircraft when the proposed flight path is expected to carry A330 Code E aircraft which Ms Suarez said “is louder than the 737..they’re presenting the best case scenario (in the flight noise tool).” Ms Suarez said the A330 aircraft decibel level is rated as ‘more than 60 and less than 70’. Charlotte Wensley, also of FPF, told the crowd a 60-page legal brief had been given to legal advisors and the Group had several priorities in the
coming weeks especially with Air Services Australia due to release a document called a “Targeted Environmental Impact Assessment”, and the ASA response to the community feedback submissions on the flightpath design with final flight path designs due to be submitted to.. Continued page 8

Local News—Flight Path Forum FROM PAGE 7 … CASA (with the Community Consultation summary) at the end of July. Ted Obrien, Federal Member for Fairfax taking in the affected hinterland communities of Verrierdale and Doonan, told the meeting that he had made a request to ASA for them to be involved in a stakeholder round table which would be ‘not a huge forum’ with ASA, FPF, Council’s Airport and Members of Parliament with the aim of holding detailed discussions with Air Services Australia so they can explain their assessment of the ultimate flight path designs and why they’ve drawn those conclusions with the right technical people in the room to assist the explanation. Mr O’Brien since confirmed the ASA have agreed to that roundtable with the aim of being held in early July. Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington told the meeting the Noosa Biosphere status is “not totally useful as it’s a voluntary covenant” and there are a number of airports in other Biosphere reserves for example the Great Sandy Straits Biosphere has Gympie and Maryborough airports. The meeting also heard from the President of the Mudjimba Residents Association experience with flight path and airport operations who acknowledged their situation was different to the current Noosa/ hinterland issues. As the meeting closed an FPF’s spokesperson confirmed the group was challenging local Federal members to go to Canberra with a clear case of action for increased federal intervention at the highest level and was also lobbying for the establishment of a formal full stakeholder engagement panel with 8
an “independent Chairman” to come up with a solution to serve the greater community and oversee that what has been agreed upon will be implemented. He told the meeting legal advice had been sought and so far $20,000 had been raised for a potentially long legal fight. The group has a target amount of $50,000 The meeting was told representatives from Sunshine Coast Council, Air Services Australia, Sunshine Coast Airport, along with SCC Mayor Mark Jamieson were invited but didn’t attend to which the crowd responded with “boos” and calls of “shame, shame”. All parties invited but who could not attend prepared responses to a list of pre-posed questions which were read out to the audience. It has been a busy three months since The FPF held its first community meeting in April at Peregian Beach Community house with over 200 residents attending. Since then a number of events have happened including more than 3500 submissions being sent to Air Services Australia asking for extended consultation beyond the 30 April deadline on the flight path design (which was denied), proper process regarding environmental, noise and social impact assessment be followed and that flight path alternatives be considered and the Aircraft Noise Ombudsman agreeing to examine the process of consultation regarding the flight paths. Meanwhile, the community engagement period for the Airport masterplan remains open until August 9. To look at the plan see www.sunshinecoastairport.com.au/ masterplan2040.

Build a bear to help sick children IF you are looking for a relatively inexpensive, feel good, activity in the last week of the school holidays Noosa Civic’s Build a Bear workshops could be something to consider. Until July 12 the shopping centre is playing host to Build a Bear workshops every day, with the aim of providing a fun activity for local children and also raising more than $3500 for Ronald McDonald House Charities along the way. Noosa Civic centre manager Monica Lord said: “While there will be thousands of Sunshine Coast kids enjoying their school holidays there will also be many Australian kids in hospital with a serious illness or injury.” “We hope our fundraising efforts with the Build A Bear workshops will contribute to easing the burden for these children’s families and provide a special little present for the kids. “All funds raised from the $5 donation to build a bear will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Australia and once the kids have made their snuggly bear, they can choose to either take it home or give it to comfort a sick child in one of the charity houses.” Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia CEO Barbara Ryan said that support from the community is vital to providing a home away from home for 14
the 10,000 families each year travelling long distances for the treatment of their child’s serious illness. “Our eighteen Ronald McDonald Houses around Australia provide critical accommodation and ease of access to hospitals for families in metro and regional locations needing daily treatment,” Ms Ryan said. “We also have 18 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms located within almost every children’s hospital that provide a much - needed escape as well as vital services such as laundry, meals and a bed to rest while our National Learning Program covers the gap in education for over 1,300 children every week.” The Build A Bear workshops will take place at 9am, 11am and 1pm daily between 1 July and 12 July.

Celebrating Antoni Gaudi
By Lenette Paul Local resident and avid traveller FOR more than 4000 years, Barcelona has always stood out for its splendour and dynamism, however, as host of the 1992 Olympic Games, Barcelona reinvented itself as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Previously known as ‘the city with its back to the sea’ the Games (considered one of the finest in modern games history) provided the opportunity to regain contact with the sea, it is now a must-visit when Mediterranean cruising, with five miles of stunning beaches and coastline. As for the city itself, Antoni Gaudi and Barcelona are intrinsically linked. Gaudi’s buildings are everywhere in Barcelona and provide added incentive for visiting this splendid city. Born in 1852, nicknamed ‘God’s architect’, the originality and novelty of Gaudi’s works made him and his creations controversial in those times. Gaudi produced Catalan modernist architecture and his imagination and creativity were such he was considered either a visionary or a 22
madman. His diverse works, many with UNESCO World Heritage status, include parks, apartments, homes, town plans, theatres, a palace, public art, churches and even lampposts. He integrated crafts such as ceramics, stained glass, and wrought ironwork details into his buildings. Highly decorative, he used mosaics to dramatic effect. His work was inspired by natural freeforms and organic styles such that some of his buildings look like magical sandcastles. rarely drawing detailed plans, he created 3D models and molded details as he conceived them. His most famous building is unfinished. Sagrada Familia (pictured right above), or Holy Family Cathedral, a Gothic Moorish masterpiece, described as ‘divinely inspired’, is nearing completion in time for the 100th anniversary of his death in 2026. While absentmindedly looking up at this creation, he was severely injured when hit by a trolley car. He died three days later on June 10th 1926, a single man having devoted his whole life to his profession.

NINDERRY UPDATE: State Member Dan Purdie LOCAL EDUCATION AND POLICE THE BIG WINNERS IN STATE BUDGET It was fantastic to see our local schools receive significant funding in last month’s State Budget. Congratulations to Peregian Springs State School, which will receive $6.5m for new classrooms, and nearly $8.7m for Coolum State High. Across the electorate, schools will share more than $22 million for much needed investment in infrastructure to support our growing population. The other highlight was the long overdue funding for the new Coolum Police Station. For 13 years our local officers have been working out of a donga, so I pleased our efforts to hold the Government to account, to finally deliver this project, have paid off. I was also pleased to see the State Government finally commit to its share of funding for the $300million upgrades to the Mons and Maroochydore Road interchanges. This project is set to become the biggest infrastructure project on the Coast once the Caloundra Road to Sunshine Motorway Bruce Highway upgrade is completed in 2020.
LOCAL SPEEDING CONCERNS Thank you to those residents who’ve
26
contacted me in relation to reports of speeding in and around school zones and quiet residential areas in Peregian Springs. In most of these cases, the speed limit is 40-50km and there are simply no excuses for speeding in these suburban areas. I referred the issue on to QPS, and since the beginning of June, local officers have conducted four separate speed patrols in the area. Unfortunately, no vehicles were caught speeding, however QPS has committed to working with Council to install traffic counters and speed readers to assist with the timing of further operations. Fifty per cent of speeding crashes happen at just 1-10km/hr over the speed limit. Remember, drive smarter, not faster. Residents can also report hooning to the Hoon Hotline, on 13HOON (13 4666). MOBILE OFFICE I am holding a Mobile Office at the corner of Peregian Springs Drive and Ridgeview Drive from 7.30am-9.30am on Thursday, 25 July.

FLIGHT PATH
The proposed flight path remains an ongoing issue for the northern end of the Coast and I recently attended a public meeting in Noosa, hosted by Flight Path Forum, which attracted a few hundred people. I am happy to confirm that I have secured Air services Australia for a stakeholder round table early in July. Air services Australia has committed to explaining how it considered the options available based on the EIS put through by the State Government, how it considered community feedback and how it amended the design. There will also be ample time for questions. Flight Path Forum has confirmed that it has a preferred flight path and this will also be an important opportunity for the group to put that plan forward for discussion.

The cash conundrum FOR most investors, it is prudent to keep a proportion of one’s investment funds in cash for liquidity purposes. However, investors also need to keep in mind that cash returns have been extremely low for most of the past decade and are likely to fall further with the Reserve Bank of Australia tipped to cut rates further before the end of the year, as it seeks to stimulate the Australian economy. In order to generate a sufficient return on cash, investors should first review their asset allocation, relevant to their risk profile.
