Jetty dispute stand off By JONATHON HOWARD A NOOSA pensioner is preparing to fight Noosa Council over a jetty dispute at the corner of William Street and Gympie Terrace. Built in the 1950s, the jetty was purchased by Kevin Driscoll and his wife Vicki for an undisclosed amount in 1993. For decades, the jetty was used by the Driscolls and members of the general public for fishing, swimming and relaxing. However, Mr Driscoll fears Noosa Council is hatching an elaborate plan to “rip off his family” and reclaim the jetty without compensation. Continued page 10

One-man stand: Kevin Driscoll says he will wait for as long as it takes to resolve a jetty dispute with Noosa Council.

Boundary bid blow By JONATHON HOWARD A PUSH to include Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Lake Weyba in the Noosa Shire boundary is facing early opposition from Sunshine Coast Council and is threatening to derail the move – as the boundary battle warms up. A series of community consultations took place this week to discuss the proposed realignment of Noosa Council’s territory and the Sunshine Coast Council’s boundary to include four additional suburbs. Two meetings have now taken place at Verrierdale on Monday 16 June, and a larger meeting at Eumundi on Tuesday 17 June. The president of the EDV Residents

Group, Johanne Wright, said the meetings heard the results of a survey commissioned to tap into local community sentiment. Ms Wright told Noosa Today that the idea of a shire boundary review was gaining favour with locals. “Our survey results have found that around 80 per cent of respondents support a boundary change,” she said. “The area covered by Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Lake Weyba makes up about two per cent of the total Sunshine Coast Council, however a boundary re-alignment to Noosa would take that figure up to 10 per cent – giving the residents more say.” However, Sunshine Coast council-

lor (division 10) Cr Greg Rogerson, said unless the shires can demonstrate benefits to the Sunshine Coast Council he would not endorse the move. “I am aware that this issue has been around for some time and the statements that both councils will be better off under the proposed boundary change,” he said. “The key point for me is that any proposal from the group needs to demonstrate that there will indeed be benefits to Sunshine Coast Council.” Cr Rogerson said the entire Sunshine Coast had been significantly hampered over the past six years by changes to local government boundaries undertaken by the State Government. “Firstly, the community did not get

a say over the forced amalgamations in 2008,” he said. “Then the subsequent de-amalgamation of Noosa saw only the residents of Noosa have a say – at no time has the full Sunshine Coast community had a say in matters that impact on all of them in some way. “These two processes created significant distraction over those six years. Unless it can be shown both councils will be better off under the proposed change, my preference is for the residents in Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Lake Weyba to continue working with Sunshine Coast Council as we deliver quality services to those communities.” Cr Rogerson said as the elected Lo-

cal Government representative for Eumundi, he valued the rich heritage and culture entrenched in the township. “I also value the exceptional world renowned market experience afforded by the “Eumundi Markets”, and pledge my continued support and assistance for this great regional asset.” Ms Wright said the EDV group would be documenting and presenting data to show the benefits to both councils in the coming weeks.

NOOSA Council has sought to ease concerns over the spraying of herbicides around Lake Weyba, which one resident claims is damaging the fragile ecosystem. The resident, who did not want to be named, lives next to Lake Weyba and recently noticed council employees spraying grass “haphazardly” near the lake. “As this grass is within a few metres of Weyba Creek and Lake Weyba, I became concerned with the poison being easily washed into the lake which is a natural habitat breeding ground for 75 per cent of the fish which end up in the ocean,” she said. “The long grass can easily be mowed and doesn’t need to be poisoned at all - why can’t council staff simply slash the grass and avoid the use of chemicals altogether?” The resident said a Noosa Council representative had visited her to hear her concerns. “He told me that council “had to use Roundup” to kill the grass near the lake,” she said. “He had no knowledge of the toxic nature of Roundup poison.” The concerned resident has since researched the use of Roundup, which she is claiming is the same chemical used by agriculture giant Monsanto and was used in Agent Orange to defoliate Vietnam.

The aftermath of “haphazard” spraying around Lake Weyba, which has raised several questions over the need for Roundup chemicals. “It is also sprayed on food crops, edible oils and animal feed,” she said. But the most shocking find, according to the resident, was Roundup’s links to neurological impairment, autism, cancer, Alzheimer, Parkinson’s disease and many behaviour problems and learning difficulties in children. “The figures for autism in the US where Roundup is used freely and also GMO containing similar chemicals, have seen the cases of autism - 1 in 10,000 in 1981 increased to 1 in 68 in 2014,” she said. Noosa Council Park Leader, Kerrie-Ann Milsted, said council’s Roundup (active constituent glyphosate) is a widely used and regarded as being a “safe herbicide”. “All council parks staff and contractors use this chemical to control weeds and will continue to do so as it is still considered to be a safe and effective chemical when used according to label instructions.

“Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) reviewed glyphosate products in 1996 because of evidence that it may have been toxic to aquatic life. “The research determined that the toxicity was due to the surfactants in the formulations. The use of glyphosate was then prohibited on or near waterways. Since then new formulations have been developed that can now be used in or adjacent to waterways. “The APVMA currently has no evidence before it suggesting that glyphosate products registered in Australia and used according to label instructions present any unacceptable risks to human health, or the environment - until evidence emerges to the contrary council will continue to use it.” Have your say: Do you think council should abandon herbicide spraying?

Old water meters to be replaced UNITYWATER will be out in force throughout June to replace water meters nearing the end of their lifecycle. Unitywater will identify water meters that need replacing throughout Cooroy, Eumundi, Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Pomona, Sunrise Beach and Sunshine Beach as part of their annual infrastructure maintenance program. Residents will receive a notification card in their letterbox

at least 48 hours before any works and, if they are home on the day of the work, Unitywater’s authorised contractor will make contact with them before replacing the meter. All contractors will be in Unitywater-branded vehicles and carry ID cards. Following meter replacement, the contractor will leave a Works Completed card in the resident’s letterbox which records the water consumption

measured by the old meter. Customers are advised to keep this reading for reference and to cross check when they receive their next Unitywater account. For more details you can visit www.unitywater.com/maintenance-programs or phone the Unitywater Customer Contact Centre on 1300 0 UNITY (1300 086 489) for the cost of a local call from a landline.

Budget cap put on rates small operational surplus and it meets the test for financial sustainability.” Mayor Playford said he was proud of the big picture painted by his budget. “It delivers on the promises made, and will continue to do so in the years ahead,” he said. “We’re determined that the Noosa of tomorrow will be one that looks and feels well cared for, not a rundown shire with ageing infrastructure and second-rate services.” The 10-year forecast shows that debt can be reduced and cash reserves increased with rate rises held within CPI. Mr Playford compared the council budget to a household budget, which he said, was clearly going in the right direction. Noosa Council will meet on Thursday 26 June, to formally adopt the budget.

Budget Highlights 2014–15: 1. Capital injection: A dramatic increase in the capital works program to $23 million dollars, more than double the expenditure planned for Noosa under the amalgamated council. 2. Road resealing: $8 million to begin restoring our roads to their condition before amalgamation. 3. Renewal of infrastructure: The asset sustainability ratio is the measure of how well a council provides for the renewal of ageing infrastructure. This rises to 100 per cent, well above the rate of 70 per cent under amalgamation. 4. Noosa Biosphere Reserve: Funding of $250,000 for projects related to the local economy and environment. 5. Hastings Street: $110,000 to undertake a security boost, thanks to the Hastings Street Community Safety Program charge, which will pay

Council refutes ‘guerilla tactics’ claim By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Council says restructuring of Noosa Biosphere Limited (NBL) was not a strategic “guerrilla campaign” as suggested by outgoing NBL chair, Sue Davis, but instead a change of leadership models to meet community expectations. Noosa Council announced recently that it was restructuring the NBL to create greater independence from council and to introduce a management-tiered approach. Noosa Council acting mayor Bob Abbot said the use of guerrilla tactics was “untrue, unsubstantiated and at best, devious speculation”. Cr Abbot said the NBL restructure instead involved a comprehensive public review and consultation. “It was from this review that council was able to determine the best way forward,” he said. “Council listened to the community and found that council should play a part in the Noosa Biosphere, but that council should no longer control the NBL.” Cr Abbot said the previous NBL team had done a good job during the past six years. “The NBL did extremely well with the environment side, however, they fell short in other areas such as cultural factors,” he said. Departing chair of Noosa Biosphere Limited (NBL), Sue Davis, also took a shot at Noosa councillor Tony Wellington, alleging that he refused to work with the NBL. Cr Wellington refuted Ms Davis’ comments. “In one instance, she claimed that I refused to work productively with her – I absolutely refute any such assertion,” he said. “Whilst a councillor on the Sunshine Coast

Council (SCC), I met at various times with Sue Davis for convivial discussions. “When she asked for my advice about presenting NBL’s funding proposals, I happily provided that advice. I also supported NBL’s full funding requests through two SCC budgets. “I did decline an offer to be a director of NBL whilst I was a SCC councillor. My personal position opposing the governance structure – a company wholly owned by council - was publicly known. “I thus decided it would be untenable for me to become a director of the company given my previously stated views.” Cr Wellington said it was reasonable for there to be robust debate on the ideal management structure for the Noosa Biosphere Reserve. “The structure as it currently stands was developed in the dying days of the former Noosa Council knowing that it would be handing the Biosphere Reserve over to the amalgamated council,” he said. “It was thus a product of its times. But times have changed, and it is therefore appropriate for the new Noosa Council to review the company they inherited, regardless of my personal views, or those of anyone else. “The decision to review the management structure was agreed to by all of the new Noosa councillors. The proposed new model, developed over time by the Working Group, was supported unanimously at the last Ordinary Meeting of Council. “To single out individuals is to deny the democratic process under which those decisions were made.”

for extra security patrols and CCTV maintenance. 6. Noosa Main Beach: $556,000 for restoration and maintenance will continue at Noosa Main Beach which will include sand recycling, infrastructure replacement, beach cleaning and major events beach maintenance. 7. $2.516 million to rateable land that benefits from tourism will be charged to help promote the region with increased tourism activity as the expected outcome. 8. Noosa Junction Association: To receive $90,000 to help carry out projects and initiatives to boost business activity. 9. Community Engagement: Significant funding for initiatives to allow the Noosa community to participate in local decision-making processes.

Biosphere Ltd ‘unexpected’ DIRECTOR of the Noosa Biosphere Limited governance board, Peter Homan, has labelled Noosa Council’s Biosphere restructure “complex, radical and unexpected”. Mr Homan, who was nominated as an NBL director in 2008, said council’s decision was also a “betrayal” to those who had contributed so much during the past six years. Mr Homan claimed there had been “no community consultation about the new Trust model” – a claim refuted by Noosa Council. “There was no discussion of the Trust model at any forum organised by Noosa Council over the past four months – it was out of the blue and gave no time for any assessment or evaluation,” he said. Mr Homan said it appeared as though a “privatisation” of the Noosa Biosphere had occurred, “with the Trust having all the power,” he said. He said council’s community engagement exercise could have been handled very differently. “We wanted the Noosa Council review to result in a meaningful stepping stone, not a tombstone, for Noosa Biosphere Limited,” he said. “All the community capacity and goodwill that has been nurtured and valued within the enterprise over the past six years has now been lost.” – Jonathan Howard

NOOSA Council mayor Noel Playford has presented the first budget since deamalgamation, which, he says, is fair and delivers on the “Free Noosa campaign promises”. For the first time in Noosa’s history, there will be no increase in the general rate charged to ratepayers, although some levies and charges will be adjusted to improve cost recovery in particular areas. Mayor Playford said that under amalgamation, the minimum general rate had risen to be among the top tier for comparable councils in Queensland. “It’s time for a pause for our ratepayers, and we’ve made sure we can afford it,” he said. At a glance, the budget reinstates

services lost through amalgamation, makes full provision for replacing infrastructure such as roads and bridges and delivers a dramatically improved capital works program for Noosa Shire. Mayor Playford said the council’s first budget was all about keeping faith with the Noosa community. “It’s about restoring services, reducing bureaucracy, building and replacing infrastructure for the future and being fair to ratepayers,” he said. “The only change for most ratepayers will be an additional $9 on each six monthly rate notice for kerbside pick up of their waste and recycle bins. On the other hand, the cost of a green waste bin will fall by $5 each six months. “Not only does this budget return the services that Noosa residents had come to expect, but it does so with a

‘Leave flying-foxes alone’ By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSAVILLE residents are worried that a flying-fox colony is being rudely disrupted near Wallace Drive - with calls to “leave the protected species alone”. One resident, who did not want to be named, said she noticed a huge disturbance of flying-foxes on Thursday, 5 June. She said hundreds of flyingfoxes took to the sky after they were dispersed during the day. “Once resettled, the flying-fox colony was again disturbed and moved on,” she said. “So who was responsible?” Noosa Today made inquiries with Noosa Council in relation to the matter, which was now under investigation by council staff. Noosa Council’s Environment Officer Peter Milne said council had received unconfirmed reports that some residents might be attempting to disperse the flying fox colony at Wallace Park, Noosaville. Mr Milne advises that the flying-foxes are protected and any interference requires state and federal approvals. “It’s a difficult problem, obviously the large number of bats currently in Wallace Park is making life difficult for some residents,” he said. “Flying foxes are common in the Noosa area, but numbers increased this season, probably in response to flowering melaleuca

A flying-fox colony has come under attack near Wallace Drive and residents want answers. paperbark trees on the coast.” Mr Milne said it was normal behaviour for flying-foxes to follow their food sources, however, once the paperbark trees finished flowering it was likely the majority of bats would move on. Flying-fox colonies were recently shifted from the Sunshine Coast as part of community push to move a colony from Cassia Avenue, Coolum. Mr Milne said he had heard from two reliable reports that some of the flying-foxes had already returned to Cassia Avenue. Noosa Council takes a different approach to flying-foxes colonies, preferring to work with the species - considered a vital pol-

linator within Noosa’s Biosphere. Flying-fox numbers have also spiked this month due to the melaleuca flowering season, which is considered one of the favourite foods of the species. Environment Portfolio Sunshine Coast Councillor, Jenny McKay, said a mass flowering of melaleuca trees along coastal lowland areas had attracted groups of flying-foxes from within and outside the Sunshine Coast. “This increased activity has been occurring in the evening, when the flying-foxes seek nectar from the flowering Melaleuca Trees,” she said. “Council has received several reports of flying-foxes feeding on

trees at night with concerns from some residents of new roosts setting up nearby which is not the case if the activity is occurring at night. Flying-foxes only roost during the day.” Flying-foxes tend to stay for short durations in trees while they’re feeding at night before returning to their roost site in the early hours of the morning. They play an important role in pollinating native trees such as melaleucas and many of the eucalypts that provide habitat and food for many native parrots and marsupials like gliders and koalas. Flying-foxes are a protected species and are managed under two pieces of legislation. The three common species of flyingfoxes found on the Sunshine Coast - black flying-fox, greyheaded flying-fox and the little red flying-fox - are all protected under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. If you have seen or heard anything about cruelty towards flying-foxes you should contact Noosa Council on: (07) 5329 6500 or report the matter to RSPCA on: 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625). Residents who discover injured flying-foxes should immediately contact Noosa Flying-fox Rescue Release Noosa Inc on 07 5485 3393.

Rotary toasts new president GERALD Victor, OAM, is the new president of the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads. Mr Victor, who earned the Queen’s honour on the strength of his many years of community work in the Rockhampton and Central Queensland area, took the reins of office from outgoing president Dr Keith Trace at the changeover dinner at the Waterfront Restaurant, Noosaville. The event celebrated the closure of a successful year for the club under Dr Trace. Addressing the assembly, president Keith said that it had been an eventful, enjoyable and financially good year, raising almost $38,000 for international, national and local organ-

isations, with many of the local beneficiaries having representatives attend the dinner. These included Darren Shields from the Paraplegic Benefit Fund, Sharon O’Kane from Wesley Care and Mary White from Wheelchairs for Kids. One of the biggest beneficiaries was Queensland Drought Relief, which received $13,500.

‘No division’ Noosa shire works out supportive staff, business and community groups to deliver a free, community concert to the hinterland with the Cooroy Originals, now happening monthly. So far, this has been seen as a positive boost to the social, cultural and economic life of the shire. We’re also about to go out to consult with business groups with the new streamlined busking policy, intended to make it easier for young performers to enliven the business precincts. 4. Do you have any concerns that you would like to raise from both a council and/or community perspective? I hope residents are sensing the benefit of a new “no divisions” shire. It requires higher levels of co-operation and broader perspectives and, in my view, better enables us to bridge perceived rifts within the community. My work in recent years has made me more aware of the younger generations coming through. They inhabit a faster, more technologically-driven world. There are opportunities there for new career paths which are a good fit for Noosa. They also want to get out and see the world beyond our small shire but the least we can do is make sure the place is still as beautiful, or even more so, when they return. 5. Please include some short information about your background, interests and personality - this is a chance to engage with residents on a more personal level? Born and raised in Brisbane.

I’ve always been very conscious of the fact that Noosa Shire’s image of a privileged enclave is in many ways a mirage,

with most residents living very simply and many battling to make ends meet from week to week. My grandparents worked hard in manual jobs all their lives so my parents and my siblings could have opportunities they never did. My father always says “never forget where we come from”.

SIX months have passed since the formation of Noosa Council and this week Councillor Frank Wilkie provides Noosa Today readers with his unique insight. The following five questions were supplied to Cr Wilkie and his responses are provided below. Note: Cr Wilkie’s views are his own and may not reflect the views of other councilllors. 1. Could you please update our readers on your role in council since taking office almost six months ago? First up, there were strong demands for more customer parking at the local business precinct which we’re tackling through behaviour change. The business owners pro-actively decided to park further away and leave the 125 all-day car parks outside their shops free for customers. We’re still working at it, but customers can usually always find a park in the village now and it’s better than bitumening more parkland. This system could be trialed in other precincts, if alternative parking capacity exists and business owners are willing. Formal roles include chairman of the town planning committee and the Regional Arts Development Fund panel, Noosa Council’s representative on the Tourism Noosa board, member of the CEO selection panel, and member of the legal case working group. It’s been incredibly satisfying and interesting. Otherwise I’ve been working with residents, business and community groups to assist in achieving their aims and with matters they’ve been saving up for the new council. 2. In your opinion, how has council

been functioning since de-amalgamation? Very well, considering the task has been rebuilding a council from the ground up, restoring services to preamalgamation levels and laying the groundwork for some fundamental changes to transport and waste. The discipline of creating a budget within the limits of a zero rates rise has been rigorous and helped reveal excesses and necessary levels of expenditure. There are always challenges but, there are also high levels of leadership, experience and energy in the team and a willingness to respectfully work together to deliver. 3. What areas have you been working or feel passionately about? Improving gaps in the Noosa Planning Scheme. The plan has protected resident lifestyle by conserving large areas of the shire as National Park or State Forest and limiting building heights but, at street level, residents report problems. New homes are increasingly being built to the absolute maximum height and setback limits and shading out neighbours’ breezes, light and privacy. It’s hoped amendments for boundary setbacks that take into account building height and lot size, will result in more proportionate buildings. Equity for rural landowners is important. Other amendments propose that rural property owners on lots less than two hectares not be required to go through expensive, impact assessable applications for cropping or keeping livestock. The changes for these smaller lots propose that animal husbandry and cultivation not be considered inconsistent uses in rural areas. Over the last few months, I’ve also enjoyed working with

PLANS to reconfigure Noosa Junction parking along Sunshine Beach Road have been quashed due to planning restrictions, while ideas to boost customers have been flowing in. According to previous Sunshine Coast Council documents, the idea of angle parking was raised during the Junction’s redevelopment and revitalisation plan, more than 12 months ago. The documents revealed that business owners and residents rejected the idea of angle parking, citing a “bottleneck risk” for Junction traffic. The angle parking matter was therefore buried, but was raised recently in a bid to rejuvenate ailing customer numbers. Noosa Junction Association acting chair, Sue Pollard, said ideas to boost customers needed to come from elsewhere. “We need to move on from the parking reconfiguration idea and work towards making the Junction a thriving and exciting place to visit,” she said. Ms Pollard said the ideas were already beginning to flow. “We’ve got some amazing ideas such as the Junction Food and Wine

Call to action: Several members of the Noosa Junction Association pictured with acting chair, Sue Pollard (centre). Festival in October, better use of the bus terminal office to become a Junction information space,” she said. “We’re also introducing busking into the Junction with a focus on weekend activities, and we’re eager to get new markets, specialising in local art, started.” Ms Pollard has also put a call out for all Junction businesses to register with Noosa Junction Association - in a bid to move forward together. She said one of the only discouraging things about the Junction was the

lack of engagement from many of the businesses. “The association is essentially starting from scratch, and we need everyone, new members and those past ones to re-register with us. The Junction has seen tougher times, but we as business owners and operators need to band together to make these ideas come to life and help the Junction bounce back,” she said. Ms Pollard said Noosa Council CEO and many councillors had already made contact with her to offer support and assistance where possible.

The Bigger Vision Group in Eumundi, a business aimed at improving marketing outcomes for businesses, has also offered the Junction Association two free tickets to one of their eight-week courses. “After looking at noosajunction. org, and Facebook page, we feel that the Junction traders urgently need to update their marketing to meet the modern day market,” Bigger Vision Group employee Catherine MacAdam said. “In all honesty, the website is difficult to navigate and the Facebook page could be used much more efficiently to promote the local businesses. “We would like to offer two complimentary tickets to our next eightweek “Business Booster workshop (starting on Thursday 26 June, 9am to 11am), to two members of the Noosa Junction Business Association,” Ms MacAdam said. The Junction Association has also launched the “Come Back Again” return business initiative. By listening to Noosa Community Radio Station 101.3FM, customers can hear the secret word between 9am-11am. For details or to register with the eassociation, phone Sue on 0431 007 887.

Kindness Club shares the love

PROUDLY AUSTRALIAN OWNED & INDEPENDENT

Noosa Today is published by Star News Group Pty Ltd and is proudly Australian family owned and Independent.

CHILDREN from the Kindness Club have been on a mission to bring a little happiness to the streets of Cooroy, performing random acts of kindness.

1132526-ACM18-14

The Kindness Club was formed by children of the Cooroy Outside School Hours Care (COSHC) and their educators Wendy Scott and Lisa Hill, earlier this year. The club meets every two weeks to discuss new ideas and talk about acts of kindness the children have either experienced themselves or witnessed others carry out. Ms Hill said the children had many wonderful and original ideas on how to show kindness to others. The children’s most recent excursion was into the Cooroy community, where they spent an hour and a half wishing local businesspeople and shoppers a lovely afternoon with a gift of a handmade crepe flower. Ms Scott said the children loved the reactions

Help stop the carnage: Motorists are the single biggest killers of koalas, but with a concerted community effort, using Koala Tracker, we can all make a difference. 12254

Lifes too short for Laundry!

Tracking a national identity for koalas NOOSA Today has thrown its support behind the nationally recognised koalatracker.com. au website and will feature a monthly column. The column will highlight koala sightings, local koala news and hotspots for koala crossings as well as other points of impact which concern residents. Motor vehicles are the single biggest killer of koalas on the Sunshine Coast followed by diseases and domestic dogs, according to KoalaTracker creator and Noosa local Alex Harris. But another indirect killer of our furry friends is complacency. Ms Harris is calling on Noosa residents to band together and use community power to help koala numbers bounce back. Although it can appear like an up-hill battle to prevent dwindling koala populations, through the use of koalatracker. com.au and community awareness - “we can all make a difference,” Ms Harris said. “I don’t want Noosa residents to give up hope for koalas - it’s not too late to start helping track and monitor koalas in our region as well as being mindful on the road where koalas cross,” she said. “Saving one or two might not seem like much use, but two can lead to generations more to follow.”

A real estate agent with Ray White Noosa River, Ms Harris has received national recognition for her self-funded koalatracker.com.au website, which crowdsources the location of alive, dead, sick and injured koalas, enabling risk mitigation and empowering communities to undertake localised conservation efforts. Koalatracker.com.au is Australia’s national koala map with councils, State and Federal governments recognising the map as a crucial tool. Our own Noosa Council has the data as a layer on its planning department map. Residents can actively join and engage with koalatracker. com.au, to ensure the mapping and monitoring continues. Noosa Today will run a dedicated monthly KoalaTracker Column, which will give our readers the exact locations of sightings and points of impact, and the stories that accompany those. As a safety measure for the koalas there is a delay between reporting a sighting and having it appear on the map, as it is not about having people run out to see one, but to know where they are being seen so they keep their dogs on leads, pay attention and slow down on the road at night, or call a rescue group when they see one that is unwell. The column each month will include information such as where koalas have been seen, where they cross roads and

whether a koala was spotted with a disease or injury and requires rescuing. It is hoped this support will give residents the chance to look out for koalas, but also engage with and support KoalaTracker, and other wildlife organisations, to assist the struggling species. Koala hotspots for road crossings to watch out for: 1. Weyba Road, Leslie Drive and Noosa Drive at the Leslie Drive roundabout. 2. Eenie Creek Road at the base of Monks Bridge through to the Tarina Street roundabout, and near the Walter Hay Drive roundabout. 3. Noosa Drive between Pinaroo Park and Settler’s Cove. 4. McKinnon Drive from Noosa Banks to Cooroibah. 5. Cooroy Noosa Road from the golf course in Tewantin to Sunrise Road Tinbeerwah.

THE Noosa brand is without doubt the best in the country – and a big thanks must be directed at two events, Jack Newton Golf Tournament and Noosa Triathlon. Formerly the Tewantin /Noosa Pro-Am, the golf event with Jack himself as the drawcard was reinvented by John Piercy to support the former Aussie champion after his terrible accident. Name change first, then Jack started bringing up TV, radio, political and sporting celebrities to turn the humble two-day event into a celebration, all raising money for junior golf. In the early 1980s, the first tee was packed, with locals all wanting a glimpse of whoever came up that year. David Fordham and myself introduced the very nervous players to what was usually a packed gallery. It didn’t matter who it was teeing off, they copped the normal bagging that Fordo and I could put them off their game – Bob Hawke, Richie Benaud, Garry Sobers, Jeff Thomson, “Waynee Poo”’ Roberts, Billy J. Smith, Ray Martin, Liz Hayes, Stefan, Mick Veivers, Wally Lewis, Jon Sieben, Herb Elliott, Dawn Fraser, Wilbur Wilde and John Blackman swinging their clubs hoping for a reasonable score. My two most memorable nights was listening to Sir James Killen deliver an after dinner speech in the old Pine Tree’s 1981 and, of course, anytime the late great Ricky May had a mike in his hand. Probably the most inspirational aspect of this event was the way the locals accepted the chaos that usually transpired. On Channel 9 that next week, watching the Today Show or cricket coverage, you could be assured Noosa was always mentioned. The first triathlon in 1983 was the brainchild of marathon champion Dave Power, who dreamed up the event after commentating on the Brisbane Games where Robert de Castella was victorious. Just under 200 lined up for what was simply a hit and miss of something new. I stood on the back of a truck that day, trying to understand what a triathlon was and pondering what do I say to the 40-strong waiting crowd. Along came events guru Garth Prowd and it wasn’t long before big name Olympians, league/ AFL and media personalities came to play. But I suppose all this would not have happened unless local volunteers put their hands up. Joe Gilbert, Lex and Joy Prowd, John Little, Lex Toth were always there. I also have a special praise for Tony and Linda Jedynak, new to Noosa in 1992 but it wasn’t long before they got involved. The tri was just starters for these two - Linda is up to her ears in the Jazz Festival and Tony is kicking goals with the Noosa Tigers.

Jetty dispute stand off

1140341-KC25-14

From page 1 In protest, Mr Driscoll is taking a one-man stand on top of the jetty. Mr Driscoll said the council was at fault over the jetty’s deterioration, because council failed to properly maintain the adjacent footpath. He said the footpath shifted towards the jetty which led to the jetty’s collapse during rising flood water. “The council has threatened me with a huge fine if I don’t repair the jetty or give up our entitlement to the jetty,” he said. “But the problem is stemming from the council’s footpath which has shifted towards the jetty and led to the pylons being damaged,” he said. Mr Driscoll also revealed certified engineering reports to support his claims. “Apart from simple (footpath) repairs to bitumen cracks, there was no observable evidence that there had been any attempt to address the problem and stabilise the area,” the engineer’s report read. Mr Driscoll said he had documented evidence that the Noosa Council had wanted to take over the jetty since the 1990s. “Council’s own report, an independent Civil and Structural Engineers’ report and a GeoTech Engineers’ report, all prove maintenance neglect by council caused damage to the jetty,” he said. Mr Driscoll said he was calling on Noosa Council to take responsibility and fix the jetty, or provide his family with compensation, so that council can take over the jetty. “I have a lot of respect for the Noosa councillors, and I do not believe the councillors are at fault here, but instead it’s the internal administrators within the council that want to take the jetty away from us - by force,” Mr Driscoll said. Noosa Council was asked to provide a statement in relation to the jetty matter, however council was unable to respond by the print deadline. State Member for Noosa, Glen Elmes, was

also contacted for comment, however, Mr Elmes is currently away on leave. Check Noosa Today for council’s response next week. Or visit our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/NoosaToday

It’s a state issue, says council NOOSA Council’s director of planning and infrastructure Martin Drydale said jetty leases and permits to occupy on the Noosa River was the responsibility of the State Government. “Council acts as the assessment manager in all applications; however the State Government remains the referral agency.” Mr Drydale said an investigation of the ownership of the William Street jetty was undertaken as part of footpath repairs. “State agencies advised that Mr and Mrs Driscoll held the permit to occupy on this jetty, however due to the deterioration of the structure they no longer had legal tenure over the jetty including any right to rebuild,” he said. “Mr and Mrs Driscoll did remain the owner of the pylons and the State Government has imposed a liability to maintain them. “As a result, council has advised Mr and Mrs Driscoll that, as part of the application to undertake the works to the footpath that it (council) would offer to remove the pylons which would extinguish their state imposed liability at no cost to them. “If Mr and Mrs Driscoll do not wish to take up this offer then council will continue with the planned footpath works for William Street and Gympie Terrace which will not impact on the jetty site.”

Making kids smile By JONATHON HOWARD THE bar has been set extra high for this year’s Smile for a Child John Piercy Memorial Charity Golf Day - and there are still sponsorship places available. The event will take place at the Tewantin Noosa Golf Club on Friday 19 September, with the goal to reach $30,000. The charity event has been running for eight years with a total of more than $240,000 raised with the biggest single year being 2009 with $53,000 raised. The same committed sponsors have already opted back in for another year and include Sharp Sunshine Coast, Callaway Golf, Lion, ZRG Golf Tewantin

Tewantin Noosa Golf Club bar manager, Glenn “Puck” Puckeridge, is calling on residents to support “Smile for a Child” this September.

of the most enjoyable and most highly regarded in the region. “We’d like to ask residents to support the event by purchasing a raffle ticket for five dollars,” he said. If you see Puck out and about, buy a raffle ticket and support the Smile for a Child charity. Smile for a Child is the initiative of six clubs in the Noosa area; Sunshine Beach SLSC, Noosa Heads Surf Club, Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, Tewantin Noosa RSL, Tewantin Noosa Golf Club and Cooroy RSL in partnership with Clubs Qld and ‘Smile For A Child’ to support local children’s charities. For details call Puck on 0408 258 834.

THE incorporation of Noosa’s first Men’s Shed Association signals a new chapter in supporting men’s physical and mental wellbeing for the region. Designed to offer men a friendly and social environment, the Noosa Men’s Shed was officially incorporated by Rotary Club of Noosa on Tuesday 17 June. The Men’s Shed program offers men a range of metal and wood working opportunities, as well as platform for making new mates.

Support has already started to flow with Noosa Men’s Shed gaining more than 68 members. However, the association remains without a shed or dedicated site. Noosa Men’s Shed president (elect), Les McKenzie, said Noosa Council was working closely with the group to establish the best possible working site. “We had hopes that the TAFE College could be a place that would be suitable, but the State Government has not given an indication on the timeframe to Noosa Council,” Mr McKenzie said. “We do have other investiga-

tions going on that may be suitable on a long-term basis. As these become known on a reportable basis, I will notify the communities of the proceedings via the media.” As with other areas, Mr McKenzie said the Noosa Men’s Shed has had an important role in improving the social and emotional wellbeing of members by providing opportunities for them to socialise, build connections and access peer support. Anyone wanting to get involved or to find out more can contact Mr McKenzie on 0457 634 865.

LOCAL WOMAN SWEARS BY PH PERFECT WATER ‘After many months of trying to conceive, and fast approaching 38, I started to panic. My husband and I had so easily conceived our irst child almost two years earlier, so I was left baled as to what was going on.

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME?

However she did say that she felt that I had a lot of hormonal imbalances from all the fertility treatments. She suggested I go down to Bernie, a guy who sold magic water. I was intrigued to say the very least, and also a little sceptical, but at that stage I had nothing to lose.

MAGIC WATER?

As the months past I underwent three failed fertility treatments including IVF and had received that dreaded “donor egg speech” from my IVF Specialist. I was left physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention heartbroken. It was my dream to give my little son a sibling, and simply could not accept what the diagnosis given from the western world of medicine. On the 25th of July, as faith may have it, I was given a spiritual reading by Lou at Eumundi Market, who conirmed that I would bear another child.

My irst impression of Bernie reminded me of my own father, kind, gentle, happy. And the thing that struck me the most was his genuine attitude. I explained my infertility story, informing him of my struggles to conceive. Bernie began to tell me about his product, Phperfect Water and the overall health beneits of the water, and how it might assist my endeavours to conceive naturally I was a bit sceptical at irst, but heck, after spending thousands of dollars on Fertility Treatments, $3.00 a bottle was never going to break the bank. I had nothing to lose at this point.

Bernie instructed both myself and my husband to drink the water and give it about three months for the full efects to come to fruition. Exactly 8 weeks to the day after that irst time I met Bernie, I was thrilled to announce that I was pregnant, after a very long, costly and heartbreaking road of infertility. If only I had met Bernie at the beginning of my journey, but at the same time I believe that fate lead me to a man that I can only acknowledge as a true angel, who has now given me the second greatest gift of all, a little sibling for my son.’ KARINA PARKER is a total convert to Phperfect Water.

Party crashers damage car By JOLENE OGLE A LOCAL mum is calling for the gatecrashers who damaged a car at her daughter’s 17th birthday party to come forward and foot the repair bill. Leanne Spence’s daughter was celebrating her birthday at their Sunrise Beach home on Saturday when their family boat and trailer was pushed down the street into a neighbour’s car causing severe damage to the radiator and engine of the vehicle. Ms Spence said she believed the culprits could be any of the gatecrashers turned away from the party. “Everything was going really well at the party. A lot of people turned up uninvited and were turned away,” she said. “But, unfortunately, because it rained, we were unable to sit outside and watch the property. Instead, we went out every 10 minutes, checking to make sure people weren’t in the street annoying the neighbours.” Ms Spence said the six-metre boat was facing the home before the incident around 11pm, so at least three people would have had to lift and turn the trailer before pushing it down the hill toward an intersection. “In one way, it’s lucky it hit the car because if it hadn’t stopped there, the boat could have run into the homes at the intersection and it could have killed someone,” she said. Ms Spence said the damage to the car had greatly inconvenienced the owners of the car who will now be without the vehicle for two weeks while it is repaired. Ms Spence has also offered to pay the excess for the repairs, but is calling

Noosa backs school chaplains By JONATHON HOWARD

Local mum Leanne Spence is calling for the culprits to come forward. for anyone with information about the incident to come forward as she believes those responsible for the damage should cop the repair bill. “There is an excess that has to be paid,” she said. “I would love to find out who is responsible and I would like them to cough up.” Ms Spence said parents needed to “take some responsibility for what their children are doing”. “If they know they’re wandering the streets and there’s a party on, they need to find out if they’re invited or not,” she said. It was a frustrating ending to her daughter’s party, as Ms Spence did “everything right” by registering the party with the police and having six adults as supervision.

Noosa Heads Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said it was unfortunate for an incident like this to happen, especially when a parent had done all they could to prepare. “But it is important to always have strategies in place,” he said. “Imagine what could have happened if there was no security at the party.” Sen Sgt McReight said, for extra piece of mind, booking a function room can help remove the risk of property damage to homes and neighbours property. “With the end-of-year party season on the way, parents can get prepared with our Party Safe pack,” he said. Visit www.police.qld.gov.au/party for the Police Party Safe checklist and tips.

NOOSA residents showed their support for the region’s school chaplains during the deputy mayor’s luncheon on Tuesday 17 June. More than 100 people turned out for the event with the focus on “Kids in Crisis”. The focus for the event was to raise awareness and funding for our local youth workers known affectionately as “chappies”. Among those in attendance were guest speaker Minister for Housing

and Public Works, Tim Mander MP, Senior Sargeant Stephen McReight, Noosa councillors and four Noosa shire school chaplains. The Federal Government recently announced a raft of funding to bolster school chaplain programs and improve their capacity to assist struggling youth. The funding comes as welcome relief for many youth workers who are only paid two days per week. To make a donation and assist the local “Chappies” programs phone 0418 727 406.

letters Science, not debate I WISH that Case Smit and his Galileo group would grasp the fact that the greenhouse effect is fundamental science and not open to debate, even by the few real climate scientists who have contrary views on the subject. For them the argument is whether the CO2 increase and its greenhouse effect results in negative feedback which reduces and slows the atmospheric temperature rise and whether climate modelling is reliable enough for the prediction of such potentially world-changing conclusions. Meanwhile experimentalists plough onward detailing both current climatic changes as well as previous climatic aspects of Earth’s history with particular emphasis on the last 100,000 years. David Wilson has presented a common argument that any current climate change is natural and has nothing to do with man. The unwitting assumption here is that natural actually means inexplicable. The whole objective of science is to turn the inexplicable into the explicable and that is what climate science is all about. Climate modelling is tested against the past by choosing a period where the known variables can be fed into a theoretical model which is then run forward in time and checked against what actually happened. The requirement here is to locate where discrepancies arise and investigate why. There is a constant feedback here between new experimental data and an improvement in theoretical understanding. As our understanding of climate improves, the effects of man-made increases in CO2 (itself experimentally irrefutable) may be seen as collateral fallout. The point here is that man-made effects on climate change are not something invented by the IPCC. Several new medium-term cycles of local climate variation have also been discovered, resulting from improved experimental data and theory including the El Nino cycle. This again is one of the pay-offs from an everexpanding effort in climate science. An example of the interplay between theory and experiment is that the relatively few measurements of the third most important greenhouse gas, methane, suggest the atmosphere has twice as much as theory can explain. The solution is not to start a debating society. Instead a new satellite has been launched which will measure the worldwide presence of methane in exquisite detail and settle the experimental question once and for all while also providing a base point for the future. We are in the midst of a new industrial revolution with engineers worldwide working on solving the existing problems associated with renewable energy, clean coal power plants, clean nuclear power plants and all forms of non-hydrocarbon energy generation. I also note that the great increase in extreme weather events over the last 10 years has cost the USA in the vicinity of $1 trillion. Finally I wish to thank the people who make the effort to refute the constant stream of drivel which comes on this subject. In particular, I commend Graham Coghill. The man has the patience of a saint. I notice that the climate denialists never make any attempt to refute his sensible replies. I hope to give a two-hour update to the

best of my ability on climate change to the Tewantin U3A later this year after returning from two overseas science conferences. To debate with the Gallileo group would be like arguing with the Flat Earth Society, and about as productive. Ken Lynn, Noosaville.

A big thanks THIS letter is a big thanks to the dedicated Dr Alan Smith, Dr Simon Hawkins, the friendly and caring staff and nurses who helped me through my long stay at Noosa Hospital. With your kind help and understanding, you got me through a very tough and stressful stay in intensive care. Again, I can’t thank you enough. Patricia Aglio, Carramar Nursing Home, Tewantin.

What problem? I HAVE never found a problem parking at The Junction. However the ubiquitous two-hour limit is a real issue to many people. I believe extending the parking limit to four hours would make a huge difference to current business activities (cheaper than changing the infrastructure). Catherine Panaeff, Sunshine Beach.

Alarmed ALTHOUGH I object to John Turner’s condescending assumption (NT, 12 June) that I “may not have the scientific knowledge” to discuss climate science, and his patronising advice on how to behave like a “good scientist”, I’m quite happy to accept his label of “alarmist”. That’s because the situation is indeed alarming, especially since ideologically-driven deniers continue to misrepresent the science and block any policies that address it. I’m no climate scientist so, to ensure I’m not a “false-alarmist”, I trust the 97 per cent consensus of those who are. In his letter, Mr Turner uses a wellworn denier tactic known as the Gish Gallop (after the American creationist Duane Gish who used it in debates). It consists of spouting a list of bald assertions, all of them erroneous, long enough to fill the time or space available. No supporting evidence is supplied. The idea is that your opponent cannot possibly respond reasonably to all of them in the time he has available. The intention is that the audience will then believe that the galloper has the upper hand. Recognising this limitation, let’s look more closely at just one of his assertions: “The IPCC cannot claim the missing heat has gone into the oceans because the low-energy radiation from greenhouse gases does not penetrate water to any depth”. Leaving aside the obvious clunker - the IPCC doesn’t make claims, it simply reports the findings of climate scientists - and looking at the science, the naivety of the statement surprises me. Why doesn’t the radiation penetrate far? Because it’s totally absorbed by the first few micrometres of water, its electromagnetic energy is transformed completely into - you guessed it - heat energy. The end result - the oceans get warmer. Basic thermodynamics, first law.

That’s a simplified version of the complete process, but after all, I’m running out of space. And tackling the rest of Mr Turner’s equally misleading statements is out of the question. That’s the problem with trying to discuss complex scientific issues in a community newspaper. Graham Coghill, Marcus Beach.

New council charge WE RECENTLY sold up and moved into Noosaville; two months after the move we received an account from council. The statement points out that it is not a rate. But a “change of ownership charge”? For $70? I would love to know when, how or who thought of this and how was it passed on to us home owners? It’s as though we don’t pay enough yet to buy a house. It is not a car, it is a house we paid huge stamp duty on, had title searches done on and various other searches for which we were charged by council. But this latest one really is the last straw. On another matter, Noosa council is being praised for not moving on the flying-foxes in its shire. Yet on 5 June we noticed a huge disturbance of the flying-fox colony in Wallace Street. These poor bats were rudely awakened in the middle of the day, a huge number of them flew over to the Noosa North shore, the remainder flew around above Wallace Street for ages. Once resettled there they were once more moved on. So who was responsible for that? Ingrid McKeke, Noosaville.

Clubbed out MY WIFE Janet and I are making our first trip to Australia in October this year, and on our journey from Sydney to Port Douglas, we are spending five days with my cousin Ed Crook and his wife Ruth in Marcus Beach. In anticipation of our visit, Ed had enrolled us as members of the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club, so we were very disappointed to learn that the club had closed and ceased trading before we managed to get there. I would have been very interested to see the work that your lifesavers do as I too am a member of the emergency services here in Dorset UK. I am a watchkeeper with the National Coastwatch Institution, NCI and if you or your readers would like to see what we do, please have a look at our website at http://www.nci.org.uk/portlandbill. We are totally self-supporting and have to raise every penny ourselves to run and maintain the station. We do hope that the present difficulties that the club is facing can be overcome and perhaps it will have been restructured and re-opened by the time we visit Noosa. Tony and Janet Marshall, Dorset, UK.

Back off the fox RE ’Flying-fox facing up to extinction’ (NT, 5 June) Thankyou, Jonathon Howard, for a sensible, informative article about flying-foxes. Anyone trained to handle these native mammals knows they are intelligent, placid and social, not scary as perpetuated by myths, films and media. People in the past lived near camps

without complaining so why can’t people now cope when flying-foxes are forced to find new small camp sites? It is nonsensical that a native wildlife species is being forcibly removed from ’wildlife’ corridors? With almost all their traditional coastal wetland and creek habitat cleared because we want to live here, where can they go? While a small number carry one disease that can be passed to humans by a bite or scratch, there is no health risk if you do not handle them. Pam Ison, Sunshine Beach.

Hands off Cuba I HAVE read with interest Phil Jarratt’s rather derogatory articles on Cuba in recent publications of Noosa Today and am intrigued by how people can can get such different impressions of the same place. The impression he gives is of a very disorganised country with lousy food, disinterested people and unreliable hotel staff. This is in total contrast to the experience my wife and I had during a recent two-week vacation there. We stayed in a hotel in Old Havana where the rooms were clean and wellappointed and the service was without fault. In Trinidad (Cuba) we stayed in a very inexpensive B&B and it too was very clean and comfortable. In contrast to Phil Jarratt’s experiences, we had no problem with either public or private transport. We found the country to be very safe, where friendly Cubans couldn’t do enough for you. The food was absolutely superb, (we dined most nights on lobster, prawns, fresh fish etc,) the music and architecture breath-taking and its climate and beaches as wonderful as we enjoy on the Sunshine Coast. Cuba is a poor country and much can be said about its political system, but in no way does this take away from its delightful, charming, generous people who make up the Cuban population. Phil Jarratt’s articles give a very negative view of a country we found to be thoroughly charming. Each to his own, I guess. Barton Jones, Noosa Heads.

Statement of Joy I AM very glad that in last week’s Noosa Today (12 June) your letter writer didn’t accuse me of “plucking figures out of the air”, because, although he intimated that he had read every data source, might I suggest that he refer to Fairfax economist Kenneth Davidson, an invaluable source of tracking the performance of the current Federal Government. I did. His more personal comments about my political involvement made the assumption that my motive for writing letters is related to possible future candidacy. Although I have no doubts that I am capable of being a useful parliamentarian, perhaps I need to explain why I stood for the Greens in the last election. I am deeply concerned about where our nation is heading, and how the political landscape is changing the once generous, fair-minded character of the Australian people. We are being encouraged to bury our sense of community and concern for our fellows.

Our ‘We’ society is becoming a ‘Me’ society, with an increasing number of people, particularly the young, being left behind. I stood because I am tired of seeing the demise of our manufacturing industries with thousands of jobs going offshore annually; because in Wide Bay, where a coal seam runs from our northern boundary right down to below Kin Kin, we need to oppose the major parties’ enthusiasm for coal and coal seam gas mining, which in other areas has ruined aquifers and fertile farmland; because both major parties are keen to sign up to the Trans Pacific Partnership, a trade deal that will allow corporations to sue governments if they bow to community pressure to stop projects that will ruin their districts, as this will interfere with corporate profit-making; because two large corporations control over 70 per cent of our food outlets, and are starving farmers out of existence; because I believe that everyone has the right to good health care and education; because there is too little vision for our energy future. Were I personally ambitious I would have stood for a major party. Instead I chose to provide an understorey, to try to help another Greens senator to be elected, someone whose intelligence and integrity would have been a great bonus to our excellent senate team. Sadly, the might of the Palmer dollar prevented this from occurring. I am sorry that your correspondent appears to resent my presence, however, intelligent debate rather than personal attacks are a better way to go. Joy Ringrose, Pomona.

Saving The Junction WE HAVE only recently purchased property at Sunrise Beach after falling in love with Noosa many years ago and enjoying many wonderful holidays here. It is sad to watch The Junction slowly dying. The call has gone out for people to put forth some suggestions. The thought we have is that instead of re-modelling Sunshine Beach Road again, which will likely not achieve much at all, is to perhaps close Lanyana Way which runs between both Sunshine Coast Road and the Noosa Fair shopping centre, permanently. Then grow and merge the whole area together in a style similar to Pacific Fair at Nerang, Gold Coast, incorporating Sunshine Beach road, but leaving it open for traffic. Pacific Fair is a lovely centre to walk around and enjoy for all ages and interests. There seems to be little activity traffic-wise in Lanyana Way, except for a few street parking spots and access to Coles. But the whole area combined could be a wonderful centre, full of cafes, some park area, car parks and shops. Martina Gaynor. Sunshine Beach.

Beautiful Sunrise Beach JOE Hockey tells us that a worker has to work an extra month to pay for someone on welfare payments. He omitted to tell us how many months that worker has to work to keep our treasurer in the style Joe himself has become accustomed to. Heavy lifting for some, hey Joe? E. Wright, Sunrise Beach.

first home buyers

Heated words over housing figures DEBATE has erupted over the latest Australian housing finance statistics, with one industry commentator labelling the data as “baloney”. The statistics, released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) last week, compare lending and home ownership trends throughout Australia with March, 2014. According to the latest data, the number of homes purchased by first home buyers is down three per cent from last month, to make up 12.3 per cent of the total lending market, a significant decrease when compared to May 2009 when first home buyers peaked at 31.4 per cent of the market. The data has resulted in many industry commentators slamming the decline including St George senior economist Hans Kunnen who, in an interview with 2GB Money News, attributed the perceived lack of first home buyers to state governments scrapping the First Home Buyer Grant (FHBG) for existing dwellings, along with a solid increase in house prices. Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) CEO Anton Kardash said changes to the real estate industry would help increase housing affordability and opportunity in Queensland. “We contributed to the REIA’s Senate inquiry submission, which includes a number of recommendations to boost housing affordability,” he said. “One of the things we want to see is the first home owner grant for existing housing reinstated, so that incentives exist for both new and established housing. “We also want to see the abolition of conveyance stamp duties and more private investment harnessed to improve the supply of social housing. “It’s important that government works closely with the states and territories to develop and implement tailored policies to address this important issue.” But industry commentator Michael Matusik has labelled the fall in first home buyers as “real estate baloney”, stating the attempts to explain the decline as a result of high prices, a lack of government funding or a shift towards investments home, as misinformed. “Like many things these days in the real estate world, it’s the figures that are incorrect. The ‘official’ statistics are measuring only part of the whole, yet very few question the results,” he said.

“In short, there is a hell of a lot of first home buying taking place.” According to Mr Matusik, the ABS and real estate industry commentators are not correctly corralling first home buying activity. “I think the statistics are wrong,” he said. “Why wouldn’t first home buyers be buying? Interest rates are extremely low, Mum and Dad are practically paying for the deposit to get rid of their ‘boomerang’ adult children ... yet, according to the same talking heads who claim low first home buyer take-up, housing affordability is the best in over a decade.

Matusik said conversations with real estate agents, including those selling new stock, indicate that first home buyer activity is much higher than the low levels officially reported. “I suspect that first home buying activity is close to the historic average - something around 35 per cent of the total owner-resident market and around 20 per cent of the total housing market, when including investors.” Mr Matusik said everyone should question the real estate data. “The media - for the most part - aren’t interested in checking the statistics before they regurgitate them,” he said.

“And to prove that point, there has been little change in the size of the average first home loan in recent years.”

“Much of what you read these days about property is sadly bunkum.”

ABS statistics show the average home loan is now $323,400, which is a 7.2 per cent increase from last year.

weekend round-up

Buyers keep market buzzing Co-principal David Conolly is gearing up for the auction of 21 Dolphin Bay Drive, Sunshine Beach.

THE sun was shining and the local real estate market was buzzing with a busy weekend in home opens, some great sales and new listings for local agents.

This home was customer designed by Kidd and Co principal Stephen Kidd, who had only a photo to work with when designing the home.

Richardson and Wrench Noosa co-principal Shane McCauley said busy home opens were becoming “the norm”, in what was a positive swing for the local market.

Mr Kidd said the facade was modelled off a stately Queenslander home the owners had found in Hamilton, Brisbane.

Meanwhile, two sales in Hastings Street and one in Sunshine Beach were also a reason to celebrate for the R&W team.

“They loved the home and brought me a photo of it, and then I modelled the family home behind the facade,” he said.

“It is nice to drive around Noosa and see a lot of sold signs currently, it is a sign of things to come,” Shane said. The group also reported a busy Sunday with a large number of beachfront inquiries. “Who could blame them, it was an absolutely stunning day,” he said. Shane reported investment properties were as “low as they have been for years, but of course, they won’t stay that low forever”. It has also been a winning week for the Century 21 (C21) Conolly Hay Group, which has just welcomed its 100th rental property, a new listing as well as some good sales. 14 Realestate Lifestyle | Thursday, 19 June, 2014

The Stephen Kidd designed Dolphin Bay home. C21 Conolly Hay co-principal Mike Hay and sales agent Brad McDonald secured the sale of a prestigious Noosa Waters property, sales agent Jason Wedge sold a unique Lakeshore Place property, and sales agent David Berns sold a beautiful acre block on Coast View Parade, Doonan.

Meanwhile, property manager Leanne Spence has just reached her 100th rental property listing with C21 Conolly Hay Group since starting only 18 months ago, when there were just 27 rental listings. “While many property owners found me when I moved, it is my dedicated service keeping them here,” she said. Leanne said the key to good service is to keep the communication lines open and not always by email, plus always treating tenants with respect and ensuring maintenance is completed when reported.

Sensational penthouse THIS impressive 220 square metre penthouse apartment enjoys a superb position in the much-desired Noosaville river precinct. LOCATED only a short stroll from boutique shopping, cafes and restaurants, the north-facing home offers luxurious living in one of the best locations in Noosa. This stunning complex was constructed only five years ago when the developers, then living in the cute Queenslander called ‘Blur River Lodge’, wanted to trade the old for the indulgent. The apartments were built with quality fittings and fixtures along with all the modern conveniences including zoned ducted air-conditioning, blackbutt flooring, high ceilings and an attractively landscaped property.

This home is surprisingly spacious with two generously sized bedrooms located at the rear of the home, with the main suite featuring a walk-through robe and ensuite.

STELLAR Conveyancing’s Michelle Watt has over 25 years’ experience in conveyancing. Most weekends you will find her on the court coaching netball or on the beach with the Noosa Nippers. As a local, Michelle knows the Noosa and Sunshine Coast real estate market and has expert tips and guidance for Lifestyle readers on how best to secure your dream home. This week, Michelle shares her seller’s checklist. It can be scary putting your home up for sale, but if you take some steps to prepare, you may find the process is much more simple and easier than first imagined. Before entering into a contract, research your local market and find out what your property is worth. Do the figures, taking into account items such as the cost of mortgage repayment fees (if applicable), agent’s commission, legal fees and any tax implications that may apply to your property. It is also important to prepare your property for sale. Get started on those repairs, declutter and clean your home so prospective buyers can see your

home in the best possible light. Either before, or once you have entered into a contract, forward a copy of your contract to your legal representation. Stellar Conveyancing can help you with all your legal requirements throughout this process. Remember to diarise important contract details so you don’t find yourself in a mad rush. It is also helpful to keep on hand

If you have a mortgage, then it’s time to contact your bank and let them know you are selling. Your bank will need you to sign a discharge authority for each mortgage as they will need to prepare release documentation. The bank will also need to know who is acting as your legal representation. At this time, your conveyancer will ensure that you have signed all specific documentation for the transfer of title. The legal side of selling a home can be confusing and complicated, but the help of a conveyancing expert can help make the process much easier to understand.

Braithwaite hits in Noosa FROM Melbourne school boy to popmegastar, Daryl Braithwaite has had one stellar career and now he’s bringing the hits to Noosa for one night only. Appearing at Villa Noosa on 27 June, Braithwaite will deliver chart-topping hits such as The Horses and You’re My World. Braithwaite began his singing career in the school choir at Christ Church Grammar, alongside Olivia Newton-John, before he left school to become a fitter and turner. Realising his passion was in music, Braithwaite began to pursue a musical career when, at the age of 21, he joined Sherbet, a band that went on to become one of Australia’s biggest pop bands. Sherbet had 20 hits on the Australian charts between 1971 and 1979, during which Braithwaite rose to fame as the band’s lead singer. From 1974 through to 1993, Braithwaite placed 15 solo hits in the Australian Top 40, including a cover of the ballad You’re My World which went to number one in Australia. Braithwaite was crowned Australia’s King of Pop by TV Week for three consecutive years from 1975 to 1977, but by 1984 Braithwaite had decided to take a break from the music industry. In 1988, his comeback album Edge revealed a changed Braithwaite with a more contemporary sound and hits such as As The Days Go By, All I Do and One Summer, a Braithwaite original. A number of solo hits followed before another 12-year break between 1993 and 2005, when another album appeared, Snapshot in 2005. Since then, Braithwaite has continued to record with a new album, Forever The Tourist, released in 2013, featuring the lead single Not Too Late. Braithwaite embodies the idyllic late 80s pop-rock sound that can’t help but make you remember tie-died shirts, high-waisted jeans and a much more simple time. Tickets are available now for the 27 June show at Villa Noosa, Noosaville. Tickets are $28 per person and are available at the venue or online at www.villanoosa.com.au. WIN: We have a double pass to giveaway to see Daryl Braithwaite live. Email your name and contact number to competitions@noosatoday.net.au for your chance to win.

Bromance takes 21 Jump Street up a level By JONATHON HOWARD

Sherbet had 20 hits on the Australian charts between 1971 and 1979, during which Braithwaite rose to fame as the band’s lead singer.

OPENING at Noosa 5 Cinemas today is the hilarious action comedy 22 Jump Street. Officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are not 21 anymore and after making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don’t have to just crack the case - they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them. WIN: Noosa Today has a double pass to give away to see 22 Jump Street. Simply email your name and phone number to competitions@noosatoday.net.au for your chance to win.

Daryl Braithwaite will deliver chart-topping hits at Villa Noosa.

ten with Sandy Klein, yoga instructor, Cooroy

I did the flying fox zip line in Hollybank, Tasmania. Not bad considering I was afraid of heights. Talk about a leap of faith.

If you could be someone for a week, who would it be? Elizabeth Taylor acting on the movie set of Cleopatra with Richard Burton.

What was your favourite book as a child?

Who would be your top five dinner party guests and why?

Anne of Green Gables, plus all of the Enid Blyton books. I love reading.

What was the first/best concert you attended?

Elizabeth Taylor so I could play with her diamonds and listen to her gossip, Steve Irwin because I think he did a lot in his short time, Richard Burton to make sure he took Liz home, my dad because he is a colourful person and can talk with anyone, and Bob Hawke because he reminds me of my dad.

What would your last meal on Earth be?

Paul McCartney in his band Wings. They played at Festival Hall in Brisbane. During the show he did a solo set of Beatles songs, just Paul and his guitar singing Yesterday. A beautiful, magic moment.

Lobster mornay, a very cold, crisp white wine and a raspberry chocolate dessert.

Waves kept Wrecks going LIFE OF BRINE PHIL JARRATT

DESPITE the dire forecast, the sun (mostly) shone on the Wrecks and Relics last weekend and while the waves might have been tiny, unlike the vast majority of crusty old competitors, they were perfectly formed and they kept on coming. The 10th annual Wrecks “gettogether” - as this cut-throat, dogeat-dog carnival of cunning is euphemistically known - was an unqualified success, which is to say no one carked it and there were very few punch-ups in the car park. In between surf sessions, we all sucked on XXXX Summers or a rather fine Tim Knappstein pinot gris, remembered how good we used to be and talked about it incessantly, pausing only to compare scars, medications and new knees and hips. This is what happens when a hundred or so once-great athletes (well, in our own minds) now in their golden years gather to fight the good fight, suck in the flab and hold back the gathering dusk. The Wrecks went down at Access 11, Noosa West, a normally friendly little beach break also known as God’s Waiting Room, and for the most part the recreational surfers gave us the run of the break, which was either a random act of kindness or a response to the mad glint in the eyes of gnarly old surf dudes who surf every wave as though it might be their last. (Frankly, if I was young, I’d be scared of me, which was proven when the grandkids used to run and hide every time I appeared with a #2 buzz cut, which is why I now sport a slightly ridiculous white bouffant, but I digress.) Ageing surf mongrels come from all over for the Wrecks because it’s

one of the very few surfing events in the world where you don’t have to put up with bushy-bearded hipsters in silly hats and tight jeans with a couple of inches of bum crack on display. To qualify for the Wrecks you have to be over 50, an age at which it is fairly safe to assume you’ll want to keep your bum crack to yourself. In the fashion stakes, the Wrecks are more likely to be seen in ancient comp tees, baggy, daggy boardies, polyester parkas and Hush Puppies or checkered slippers, although I do have to say that I noticed an increasing number of competitors parading in budgie smugglers this year, which I put down to the Abbott factor, but whether they thought they were supporting the PM or taking the mickey out of him is unclear. We’re all winners at the Wrecks, with trophies for just about everyone, including sore losers like myself, so I won’t dwell too much on which silly old bugger won what, but there are a few special mentions. Derek “Duck” Berry was, at 74, the oldest competitor, and he put on a brave showing in the over 70s division that came down in the end to a clash between Noosa’s own Mick Reale and Rip Curl co-founder Doug “Claw” Warbrick. In the first round Mick, who was soul surfing on a shortboard until quite recently and made his competitive debut at the Noosa Festival just last March, came out blazing with some of the rides of the day. In the second and deciding round, however, Claw, resplendent in the first wetsuit Rip Curl ever made back in 1969, fought back aggressively to take the title. At least he didn’t swat Mick, who comes up to his belly button when he’s on tippy toes. The rounds of the kitchen award went to Wrecks co-director Libby Winter, of Sunshine Beach, who took out the stand up paddle divi-

And the comeback performance of the weekend came from Noosa’s own Trevor “Red Man” Crosby, near-crippled a few short months ago, dancing up and down the board on a new knee to a semi-final finish last weekend. News from the BBC Those of us who are fortunate to live at a world class surf break are sometimes a little sniffy about “westies”, “Brissos” and anyone else who lives more than half an hour inland, but there is an old adage in surfing that the further you have to drive to get to the waves, the more surf-stoked you are likely to be. The shining example of this is

the Brisbane Boardriders Club, which began back in 2004 at the opening night of the Noosa Longboards store in Brisbane. So the club had a Noosa connection from the beginning, and you’ll often see stalwarts like Mick Henderson, Barry Davis and the amazing Stewart twins, Bill and Tony, surfing our point waves or sipping on a latte at the Bean Drop. But you are just as likely to find them at Currumbin Alley or Burleigh or Moffatts or The Bluff. Coming from nowhere, they are at home everywhere. The Stewarts took out placings in the Old Mal last weekend, as they usually do, but the name of the game for all the members of the BBC is having fun wherever they are. And it’s written all over their faces. More power to ’em.

Indigenous art on show By JOLENE OGLE A HORSE float full of art is making the long journey from the Northern Territory to Noosa Junction as part of an Indigenous art exhibition set to open on 27 June. Local teacher Ann-Maree Fewtrell is the force behind the coming exhibition that will showcase the work of Indigenous artists and friends, Arnold Von Senden, Levina Ah Fat and their daughter Sheyenne. Ann-Maree, who grew up in Noosa, met the family of artists during her work in a Northern Territory school where Levina is a teacher’s aide. “She is the most unassuming, humble person you will meet,” Ann-Maree said. “I think I talk more about her artwork than she does.” Ann-Maree is excited to bring the family’s work to

Anne-Maree with some of the artwork that will be at the exhibition.

Samba’s taste of Brazil NOOSA’S only Brazilianstyle restaurant, Samba Grill, is heating things up with their famous slowcooked ribs sure to warm you this winter. Served with chips, Samba Grill’s tender ribs come dripping in a delicious plum barbecue sauce and will fill even the hungriest of Noosans. The unique restaurant is best-known for their ‘Rodizio’ style of service where diners pay a fixed, allyou-can-eat price and waiters bring food to the table in the form of prime cuts of marinated beef, pork, lamb and chicken that has been skewered and grilled over organic charcoal. The tender meats are carved at the table and served alongside a choice of sides including Brazilian black beans, potato salad and rice with zucchini and pumpkin. Owner and head chef Steve Beak first learnt of the

traditional Churrasco style of cuisine when he was a child and his grandfather, then his father, operated cattle ranches in Argentina and Brazil. After running a mobile Brazilian catering company in Broome, Steve and his wife Lenice made the move to Noosa. “Although Brazilian cuisine has been enjoyed for thousands of years, it is really only emerging here in the Southern Hemisphere,” Steve said. Samba Grill is open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday, from 12 noon to 3pm, with the Rodizio Feast available Sunday. Dinner is available from 6pm until late from Tuesday to Saturday, with both the al la carte menu and Rodizio Feast available. Samba Grill is located at 251 Gympie Terrace, Noosavile. Phone 5449 9577 to make a reservation.

Thai chef shares skills By JONATHON HOWARD BIG-HEARTED Cooroy resident, Noora Crighton, is using her skills as a business woman and restaurateur to help give back to the community in a most generous way. Ms Crighton is offering to help raise funds for worthy causes including charities and individuals. “I had operated several successful Thai food businesses across the Sunshine Coast, and after selling the restaurants I wanted to give something back to the community,” she said. “I thought about the skills I have and what I could offer, when I came up with the idea to teach people to cook and give the rewards to those less fortunate.” Ms Crighton has already organised one event to teach Noosa residents how to cook Thai food with all the food being donated to more than 100 Noosa Salvation Army guests. The event will take place on Thursday 26 June at the Noosa Salvation Army office 6-8 Bartlett Road. Ms Crighton said she was passionate about teaching people to cook, but wanted to also reach out to those left hungry, homeless or those in need of a helping hand. The callout has already resulted in some worthy recipients coming forward. “I’m doing a fundraiser for a family’s son coping with multiple sclerosis in Tewantin,” she said. “I’d like to make a call out to those in our community who are in need of

pet mate It just makes cents to them THE annual RSPCA Cent Sale is on again, and organisers are hoping to raise much-needed funds to help rescue and re-home all creatures great and small. The RSPCA first began in 1883, when one inspector and several supporters helped create the nationwide, anti-cruelty organisation we know today. The society has grown to have around 190 staff throughoutQueensland alone, all supported by more than 1200 generous volunteers. Along with re-homing vulnerable, abused or homeless animals, the RSPCA strives to educate the community on its responsibilities and continues to protect and enhance the welfare of animals. And it is clear they are doing a great job with more than 43,000 animals re-homed in Queensland, last year, but the Noosa RSPCA shelter is still at full capacity with an extra hand needed to help care for the animals.

LOCAL photographer Craig Holmes is calling all pet owners to register their beloved furry friend for a chance to feature in the annual Pets and Their Families book. Since launching the project as Dogs and Their Families, more than $16,000 has been raised for the local RSPCA animal care centre. This year, families can pose with their pet of any kind, and be included in the next edition of the glossy coffee table book that captures the special bond between humans and animals. To take part, simply fill in the application form at www.craigholmes.com.au or call 0402 298 156 for more information.

The RSPCA relies on donations and community support to continue their great work. Along with the Million Paws Walk, the annual Cent Sale is a great fund-raiser for the Noosa shelter where they hope to raise muchneeded funds. This year the fundraising committee is aiming to raise that magic figure of $1,000, to help provide food and vet care. The auction, organised by the RSPCA Fund-raising Committee, will be held at the Cooroy CWA Hall, Maple Street, Cooroy, on 21 June, from 12 noon. All the action starts at 1.15pm, entry is free and tickets are $1 per sheet.

Pondering death improves life By ERIN BARRY, Psychologist, Circle Wellness Clinic CONVERSATIONS about death evoke a variety of (mostly uncomfortable) reactions in people. Regardless of what you believe about what happens after our bodies take their last breath, the fact remains that at some point, we face a physical separation from our loved ones. We Westerners tend to avoid this subject, preferring to ignore the reality that our lives will end, but talking about death can be empowering because it can show us how to live. As a psychologist, I believe that facing death can be an opportunity to consider such provocative questions as: If you knew that your life was going to end tomorrow, what actions would you take today? Who would you choose to be with, and what would you feel to express? The answers to these questions have the power to improve your experience of life, and give you insight about what is most important to you. In my counselling work, I hear stories of painful loss every day. I know all too well how suddenly life can be taken away, and how unprepared people generally are to cope with the trauma of this.

If you knew that any one of your loved ones would die tomorrow, how would you be with them today? What would you express? Would you feel to apologise for anything, or forgive them for past hurts? The good news is that we can choose to use our awareness about death to improve the relationships we have right now. To love them to the very best of our ability with whatever resources we have everyday. And perhaps most importantly, with the awareness of your own mortality, what would you choose for yourself? How would you create your life differently, if at all? What could you appreciate more in your life? What adventures would you choose to have before your time is up? We live in a wonderful world, full of amazing people, places and experiences to be had. Let’s choose to make the most of it, because we never know when the gift of life will be taken away. Erin Barry is available for individual and couple sessions at Circle Wellness Clinic Peregian Beach. Call 5471 2201 to make an appointment (Medicare and private health rebates may apply).

It boils down to diet on diabetes The study, by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, found that those who improved their diet quality index scores by 10 percent over four years – by eating more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and less sweetened beverages and saturated fats, for example – reduced their risk for type 2 diabetes by about 20 percent, compared to those who made no changes to their diets. Dietary quality was measured using the 110-point Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010. The study also examined whether improved diet was a marker of other lifestyle chang-

and asthmatic symptoms can actually be the result of food intolerance, not environmental allergies. Nutritional deficiencies caused by stress, malabsorption or a poor diet can also reduce our ability to fight viruses and allergens, and detoxify from environmental pollutants. Fortunately, allergies and intolerances need not cause you any more discomfort or embarrassment. Noosaville Natural Health Centre uses modern diagnostic equipment including the 3-D body scan to determine underlying causes of the problem. With Bicom Bioresonance Therapy, allergies, food intolerances and the effects of bacteria or viruses can be desensitised and compromised organs treated, facilitating a return to good health.

to long-term management. Genetic predisposition plays a role in developing symptoms. However, not all family members develop issues and there are numerous triggers which can precipitate allergic reactions or intolerances in anybody. Viral infections impair the immune system so that allergies are more likely to develop in the future. Intestinal integrity and healthy gut flora are vital to immunity. “Gastro bugs”, alcohol, and preservatives in foods are just a few examples of how we compromise gut health. With a damaged gut wall, we have a reduced ability to produce certain immunoglobulins (or antibodies) which prevent allergic responses. Food molecules pass through the gut wall triggering allergies or intolerances so that sinus, eczema

ALLERGIES and intolerances can not only make life difficult socially but can also wreak havoc with your health. Feeling fatigued? Bloated after eating? Itchy eyes and sneezing? Headaches or just can’t shake that cold? There is a staggering increase in the number of people becoming more allergic or intolerant to foods and the environment recently, with Australia having among the highest prevalence of allergic disorders in the developed world. In fact, allergic diseases have over doubled in western countries in the last 25 years. Nevertheless, having an allergy or intolerance doesn’t have to ruin your life. Understanding and treating the underlying causes and contributing factors concurrently with treating symptoms are important

The study also showed that it didn’t matter how good or poor a person’s diet was when they started out, she said.

Rugby juniors show promise

The under 10 Dolphins in action.

Three draws that say it all By JOE JURISEVIC IT WAS a huge weekend of rugby with all Noosa junior and senior teams playing all their matches at Dolphin Oval on Friday night and Saturday. The mighty tasty egg and bacon roll challenge was in full swing at the canteen and the under 15s worked hard on their fund-raising for their upcoming New Zealand tour with the barbecue fired up and meat tray raffles all day. U6 Reds 40 drew Caloundra 40 CALOUNDRA stood tall in the face of blistering offensive runs by the reds, but even their might wasn’t enough to halt the attacking prowess of Darcy, Stirling, Angus and Conor. Manu’s tactical awareness rewarded him with his first try of the season and Harry continues to impress with his flamboyant brand of rugby. Domino’s Pizza Player Of The Match was Stirling Cole. U6 Fins 40 - St Andrews 45 GUS was in form with hot-footed side stepping scoring three tries. Great runs from Noah, Cody and Julian. Phoenix is showing continued improvement and what about Tana the Tyrannosaurus tagger. Myles continued with his great form after last week, getting stuck in, as did Brendon and Jackson with great runs. George was unstoppable and contributed a whopping five tries for the game. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match goes to Noah Eugarde. U7 Fins 45 drew Caloundra 45 IT WAS a very tight match with Caloundra showing excellent sportsmanship and parents sharing laughs and cheers from the sideline. Kane was a stand out for his step, fast pace in defence and attack scoring three tries. Charlie kept his reputation by scoring three. Daniel contributed two tries playing reserve for the other team and Max scored one. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match was Pierce Townsend for his impressive defence, dedicated attack and consistent support for his team-mates. U8 Blue 45 d Grammar 40 PEARL remained consistent with strength and dedication to score five tries. Hunter performed well scoring one try and consistently stepping up to the opposition. Jude contributed well in defence, scoring one try as did Mack. Joey C consistently played hard, tackling all game. Coaches Award went to Tex for his relentless tackling and support play. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match was Hamish Cole for running the full length of the field to score his first try and almost scoring two more. U8 Reds 20 - Caloundra 45 CALOUNDRA got away for a quick try, then another. Captain Kaleb made a few runs forward. Mack lifted, played hard and ripped and cleared out well. Oscar ran on and within seconds bolted away for the side’s first try. The boys played a much better second half to make the score respectable. Finnbar tackled well, chased hard saving tries and driving over securing the ball. James got into the push and successfully ripped out a

ball to pass to Atticus who finished off the play with a try, one of two for the day. Atticus again tackled hard going forward and back. Joch was fast and tough, staying low and high tailing forward for attack after attack, going all the way to score. The Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match was Byron for a great game that had him in everything with good passing out of the line outs, good tackling and breakaway runs. U9 Fins 25 drew SAAC 25 A SCINTILLATING game finished in a deserved draw. Tremendous tackling from Sam, Kian and Hunter paved the way in defence and strong running from Hunter, Reggie, Flynn, Fynn and Andrew kept the boys in the match.Try scorers Flynn and Andrew two each and Sam with one. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match - Hunter Smith U9 Reds 40 d Brothers 35 ANOTHER massive game against the Brothers decided in the last minute of the match. The side is playing as a team and never giving up with strong tackles made for 40 minutes to stop those big boys. Bailey, Joel, Cam, Fletcher, Jack, Tane, Tom, Max, Kye, Oliver and Jackson fought hard for this win. Bailey, Jack, Tane and Mack with one try each and Kye and Jackson with two each. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match - Tom Harmer . U10 Reds 46 d SAAC 5 THE Reds played with their heads and hearts this week with the forwards winning the ball coupled with fantastic passing along the back line. The result was an exciting game of rugby against St Andrews whose efforts were not truly reflected in their score. Tries were scored by Dominic, Sabyr, Billy, Jess and Flynn and a hat-trick from Max. Conversions from Flynn and Josh. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match went to a very deserving Billy Bougoure. U10 Fins 27 d USC 15 A DOMINANT performance from all players saw the Fins secure a welcome win. Powerful runs from Roko and Joe were difficult for USC to deal with and Lauchie’s work rate and speed quelled several of their attacking moves. Soren, Ethan and Josh linked up well in the back line and Joe came close to scoring in a sublime sequence of phases by the forwards. Try scorers: Joe Siemon, James Gelling, Lochie Dudgeon (3) Conversion: Jarrah Charlesworth. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match: Josh Whitehill. U13 Noosa 48 d Maroochydore 24 THE Noosa boys held together and played an expansive game to secure the win. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match, Koen Clark, was unstoppable with a Hat-trick of tries from his barnstorming runs. Max Simon was rewarded for outstanding defence and exceptional attack in scoring his maiden try for the season. Captain Tom and VC Tavita both added 5 pointers. Dolphin’s utility player, Casey proved he is dangerous close to the line scoring a brilliant try off the base of the scrum. Charlie Patterson was involved in almost every break down.

U7 White: The Whites ventured down the highway for another well-run carnival. This time the side was hosted by the Beerwah Bulldogs. All boys were players of the match today at the Beerwah Carnival. Well done little Pirates and families. U7 Yellow: The Yellows showed an outstanding performance at Beerwah this week when they came up against Bribie Island and Coolum. There was pride in the performance Yellow. Keep it up boys. U7 Blue: Under 7 Blue showed great defence against Caboolture and Stanley Rivers with the entire team contributing and making it near impossible for both teams to penetrate past the line. A really good team performance Blue. Keep up the awesome work. U8: The great little team travelled down to Beerwah for their carnival day and played two tough games against Stanley Rivers and Caboolture. The Players of the Match were Lochlan Johnson and Cody Reid. U10 Yellow: Great games by the U10 Yellow boys against Caboolture and Caloundra. Some great tries went to Sam, Cooper and Harley on the back of solid defence by Kynan, Cade and Chance. Player of the Day went to Cade. U11 Blue: Once again the boys put in a huge defensive effort but went down to a very well drilled Kawana side. Man of the Match went to our hooker Jack Ritchie ’the silent achiever’. Great efforts also from Zac McGuiness, Jack O’Connell, Ethan Lewis, Kaiden Collins and as usual Heath Robinson. Great game boys, well done.

Dylan Alchin from the Under 8s dodges a tackle. U11 Gold: U11 Gold played Beachmere at home this week, with Noosa running away with the win. The whole team clicked in attack; the forwards ran in pairs and the backs had depth. Special mention to Man of the Match Jack Munce who ran beautiful lines all day. U12 Blue: Noosa Blue loved the opportunity to play Friday night under lights, and did the club proud against the higherranked Caboolture. Well done boys, keep your heads up. U13A: The 13As played a rare home game today, but unfortunately that wasn’t enough to get a win up. The next game will be Lachlan Tindall’s last for the club, so prime yourselves for a big one and let’s give him the send-off he deserves. U13C: The U13C boys travelled to Kawana to play Kawana White for a top-of-the-table clash in what was to be a highly anticipated match, considering the start the boys have had so far this season. Well done guys. U14A: Noosa 14 Gold came up

against Gympie this week. A platform of hard running and defence set the standard for the game, with the backs chiming in with great ball movement, seeing the boys come away with the win. Man of the Match went to Benny Butler. U14B: It was a tale of two halves today against Kawana. Sean Combes was named Man of the Match, Kyle Jarvis was outstanding and Lachlan Proctor tackled himself to a standstill. Lachlan Delbridge played his best game since joining the Pirates and Jack Anderson had another excellent game. U16 Girls: The girls played Beachmere at Caloundra this week in the first semi. The girls should be proud as punch with themselves in coming such a long way in a short period of time. Thankyou to Paul Dwyer for putting up with the traits that come with training a girls’ team. They look forward to playing next season and hope they can get a full team of Pirates together.

Falcons Gold out of luck By JODIE BUSHBY NOOSA Pirates under 15 boys Zak Duggan, Lachlan Langton, Jye Daly, Chris Monteleone and Jackson Schefe all represented the Sunshine Coast Gold Falcons in the Under 15 Central Challenge held at Palmwoods over the long weekend. A total of four games were played, where the Falcons Gold

team won one game and lost three, however there was only a two-point margin for all three losses. All of the Pirates boys played extremely well and Noosa coach Mick Langton could tell that there were some sore players when the rugby league carnival wrapped up on Sunday afternoon. It was a great effort from all

of the boys, but special mention goes to Lockie Langton who was selected as the Halfback for the Central Division Merit Team, which is an on paper ’all stars/ best of the tournament’ side which is chosen at the end of the carnival. Well done to Lockie on that great achievement, and to all of the Noosa boys involved.

Noosa Eagles show their prowess By PETA HOLMES

This beautiful yet very dangerous beach has been kept fatality free, thanks to regular patrols by the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

Patrols done to perfection BETWEEN THE FLAGS RON LANE

WHEN you speak with Craig Law president of Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club and his club captain Scott Summers, the smile on their faces and their relaxed attitude tells you that they have indeed had a very successful season. Patrols on their beach, which on its day can be one of the most dangerous in the state, have once again been performed as expected, and returned a report of no lives lost during patrol. To cap it off the patrol log books regarding courtesy patrols and emergency callouts for their IRB and ATV Teams into Alexandria Bay, tell us that they have again helped to keep this beautiful isolated and very dangerous beach fatality free. With the number of tourists visiting our region on the increase, the visitors who take the time to do the tourist bit and walk into this devils playground must also be on the increase; this again emphasises the important role that our IRB teams now play in surf club life. “This season we have had a massive up grade in the number of

awards for patrol members,” Summers said. “With these awards and an increase in membership, we will next season be aiming for zero assistance from other clubs”. Last season, on a few occasions when the workload was on the increase, Brisbane and Noosa sent back up teams to assist Sunshine. This is a part of what surf clubs do, as we are all in the same business. Somewhere along the way, most clubs will be in need of assistance. “We now have three IRBs, and this season we have replaced three motors. Add to this an IRB racing team is being formed and we have a very positive outlook for the season ahead.” The fact that the Noosa IRB team, under control of IRB captain David James, has been reformed and started racing again, serves to emphasise the importance being placed by these two local clubs on the role of the IRB courtesy patrol. As previously stated, the experience gained by attending racing carnivals on different beaches with different conditions is a major factor in the training of these crews. “During this last season, some training sessions for the IRB teams have been conducted at Noosa,” Craig Law said, “and this could lead to Noosa becoming a training cen-

Lifesavers take a respite after performing their duties. ter. This could be good with us all working together. With regard to the 24-hour emergency response in surf lifesaving, our area of the coast is known as the Northern Emergency Response Division; now jokingly referred to as the the Nerds. In our club alone, we have had two call outs in the last six weeks, with one being back packers lost in the bush just on dark.” With Sunshine Beach putting in the hard work and long hours to keep these teams up to scratch, the importance of sponsorship cannot be overemphasised.

the need for proper lighting for craft and crews, upgrade in radio communication, wet suits ropes and rubber booties is of the utmost importance. “With so many of our callouts being nighttime, the need for top quality gear is a must. To ensure this standard is maintained we would be looking at a budget of somewhere in the vicinity of $5000, and this is just to cover the basic equipment needed for our teams.’’ This equipment not only enables the crews to conduct their search patterns but also helps to protect the wellbeing of these volunteers.

NOOSA Gold under 7s played one of their best games against the Unity Cobras. Gold dominated attack the whole match, but went down 2-1 in the end. Bella ‘the boot’ Hilligers scored the goal in spectacular style, and received the encouragement award from the Cobras. Harrison‘the bolt’ Howard played such a strong game and was so close to scoring several times that it got him the player of the match. The under 7 blacks took some inspiration from the World Cup on Saturday, Jake MacDonald, the youngest player scored his first goal ever, while Joe Maskell also came close. The side had a great win, 12 nil with our goal kickers being Alaska Rosenkranz (5) Eamon Shemanksy (3) Sammy Poulton (2) Isaac Benjamin (1) and Jake (1). Jaimen Slavin took home the encouragement award, showing some great defending skills, while Keiran Dow demonstrated a strong defence as well. The boys showed off many of their skills learnt week in week out from their committed coach Andy, and it was a great game. Noosa Gold Under 8s played one of their best games yet against Immanuel Giants at ILC in Buderim on Saturday with only one substitute the team was on fire. Unfortunately they lost 5-1, but it never stopped them from showing some of their style, stamina and great positioning on the field. Piper Taylor who played her best game this season and almost scored a goal was named Player of the Match, with Tom Holmes playing like a fire ball, scoring the only goal for the day, and was given the Coaches Award, with finally Kelsey Loader being named the Team’s little Pocket Rocket and awarded Player of the Match from the opposition team. Well done Noosa Gold Under 8s, awesome work team. Under 12 Noosa Gold had a slow start in their match against Nambour Bengal Tigers on Saturday, but still kept the score to a 2-all draw at half time. In the second half, they powered on to claim a 5-3 win with great teamwork from the midfield and forwards. Flynn Sperlich scored three, goals with Luke Poulton and Karter McEwen scoring 1 apiece. Lucas Evans was named Player of the Match for great play in defence. The under 13s played against the range rebels at montville on Saturday and Noosa won 1-0. Jake Jenkins scored Noosa’s goal and was awarded player of the week for his fantastic efforts.

Noosa River to the rescue By JACK MANGROVE IN the river, fishing over the weekend has been great, with trevally and tailor carving up in Woods Bay, surface lures like the River 2 Sea Bubble Pop in the 65mm have been working a treat. With a fast retrieve, these lures move a lot of water and imitate a fast moving baitfish fleeing across the surface. Flathead and large bream are still dominating captures at the river mouth, with bream up to 38cm being taken. Mangrove jack have also come back on the scene with the water temperature still up these fish are still actively feeding. Try the stretch upriver between the lakes early

in the morning. Casting toward the bank, diving lures have been the go, with the Live Minnow from River 2 Sea a real cracker. Offshore thing last week was a little quiet with the weather; but for those that did get out, spotted and spanish mackerel were again on the menu, with small schools of fish around the closer reefs. With some nicer weather on the way, the bottom fishing should improve good snapper, sweet lip and pearl perch should all be on the bite as the water temperature drops. Why not give Octo Jigs a go; these are a small squid or octopus imitation that comes in a range of colours and weights

that can be hopped around structure and reefs. I have found that if you lace them with a little fresh squid you will generally have a better hook up rate. The beaches have been performing well; there have been some nice whiting taken at the Frying Pan and also on the North Shore, with the area around Teewah producing some real elbow slappers. With whiting, the old adage “bigger bait bigger fish” really seems to work, so really load up those hooks when baiting up. On behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures.

Axemen edge out Windmills By BRUCE BLAKEMORE AXEMEN (Roger Gore, Col Barry, David Brown, Lucas Gore) defeated Windmills ( Sbig Ciercan, Allan Munro, Brad Muller, Mathew Duncan ) 8/7 in the table tennis final. This panned out as a classic final with not only the score line being as close as possible but there were moments where fortunes balanced on single points that ulti-

mately decided the match. Sbig will rue the missing of a sitter put away at 10/9 up in the fifth set in the second doubles that led to a 10/12 loss. This allowed the Axemen a chance to secure victory in the last rubber later in the night and even this was decided in five sets and by a forehand smash by a vastly improving young Lucas. This was a high quality affair

and all players felt satisfaction in producing near their best , win or lose. A new season will start on 25 June. Competition night is Wednesday from 7pm and there is a practice session on Monday nights from 7.15pm. Social groups meet three afternoons a week, and all sessions are held at the Bicentennial Centre Sunshine Beach. Call 5474 5526 for any further information.

Table tennis winners: father and son Roger and Lucas Gore, Col Barry and David Brown.

Senior coach James Gellie booted 14 majors in Noosa’s massive 45 goal romp at the hands of Caboolture at the Tigers’ home ground, last Saturday. The win put the Tigers back into second position but more importantly it was the way the home side played unselﬁsh team footy that stood out in the record victory. The Tigers showed team discipline the entire four quarters constantly giving the ball to teammates in a better position to gain valuable percentage and set up an intriguing battle with long time Sunshine Coast rivals Maroochydore at home this weekend. Senior assistant Brad Cross adding “It was a very pleasing all round performance. We have been drumming the unselﬁsh team thing into the boys over

the past few weeks and today we could see some real understanding of that message. “There was no blazing away and the boys just stuck to the plan beautifully regardless of what the opposition were throwing up.” As mentioned earlier coach James Gellie was the absolute standout; kicking 14 goals in any senior game of footy at any level is a fantastic achievement and Gellie has become a true focal point for the Tigers in the last month. Of course, in such a big win,

there were many prominent Tigers with Shane ‘Dogga’ Davis again brilliant through the middle .His attack on the footy and skill level by both hand and feet a feature of the day’s play. Davis is in outstanding form this season and along with young Seb Rogers and Jack Hendrie, who were both great for the Noosa side again on the weekend, are having really good and consistent years. Brett ‘Angel’Duke booted seven goals in a timely return from work commitments, while

Garry Wallace and Daniel Pertot, in his ﬁrst senior game of the season, were impressive also. I must also mention the top victories from both our reserve grade and under 18s in what was a perfect 3 out of 3 day for the Tigers. Well, what a day coming up this Saturday at the Tigers’ home ground, Weyba Rd, Noosaville. Its 2nd v 3rd in the main game in what will surely be a terriﬁc contest with so much to play for. The club welcomes ex-Essendon champ and three time premiership player Mark Harvey as our guest speaker at our President’s Lunch, which coincides with our 2014 past player’s day from 2pm. It’s simply a day of local footy not to be missed. A big thank you to Bob Ansett for his contribution at last weekend’s President’s Lunch, just so enjoyable to all those who attended and listened to his insight as a pivotal role in North Melbourne’s’ growth throughout the 80s and 90s. See you at Tigerland. Go tigers

A mixed bag for the Junior Tigers RICHARD MURRIHY U8: The Noosa Tigers’ U8s travelled down to Bribie Island on Sunday for a closely contested game. Once again the boys shared the ball around and are very united. The main goal kickers were - Luis Brouwer, Jason Jordon, Jett Kiely, Zane Rinaldi and Sam Topovsek. There were some great marks and when Sam and Jensen were in the backs in the third quarter they worked together to stop Bribie’s goal attempts. This week the Domino’s Pizza Hot shot award went to Sam Topovsek and the Team Spirit award to Luis Brouwer. U10: At Caloundra, Noosa U10 Reds played a well groomed

side. Noosa put on a display of good solid tackling but their overall game wasn’t strong enough for this Caloundra team. Special mention to Alex Maxwell the team’s only goal kicker, Rory McKenzie for his determination around the ground and team captain Fletcher Reynolds, who played a strong game. U11: The U11s had a close one, Noosa was up against the second top side and managed to hold them scoreless in the ﬁrst quarter. At half time the scores were even, but in the third quarter, Kawana kicked away to lead by 16 points. Noosa came back strongly in the last quarter to go down. Best players: Ryan Thornton, Troy McDonald, Eden Collins, and Lachlan Tupper. U14 Blues: The 14 Blues had

a win pulling away in the last quarter after running on 2 and a half cylinders all day. Goal Kickers: F. O’’Toole 2, J. Brain 2, S. Hancock, L. Whitworth, B. Woodburn, L. Haines, J. Mogg. Best Players: L. Haines, E. Buxton, B. Woodburn, N. Evans, J. Boughton, J. Shaw. U14 Golds: The 14 Golds looked great all day in a good team effort. Goal Kickers: B. Woodburn 3, R. Murrihy 2, J.

The Master Women’s team heading to the race start at the National Marathon titles, Mooloolaba. 122260

Outrigging in Noosa By JO SEARLE IN the last couple of months, Noosa Outrigger teams have travelled from South to North of the State competing in long distance events. The Gold Coast Cup, a 42 Km marathon from Coolangatta to the Southport Spit is an exciting event with crews of nine or 10 paddlers taking turns in six-man boats. At intervals during the race, several paddlers jump out of the racing canoe to be picked up by a support boat, whilst fresh paddlers jump into their places, all the while aiming to maintain the pace. This makes for a very exciting race and Noosa’s Master Women’s (40 years plus) crew and a Senior Master Men’s (50 years plus) crew were among 43 crews participating, from as far away as Hervey Bay, Sydney, Port Macquarie and Coffs Coast, plus a crew all the way from Singapore. The Senior Master Men were third in their division, in a time of 3 hours 37 minutes, and the Master Women were delighted to come third in their division in 4 hours 4 minutes, a great result considering that of the ten women, four had

never previously competed in a changeover race. The Gold Coast Cup also included a 32 Km Iron Race, which did not include a change of crew. Noosa had two crews of six men facing up to compete against 30 other teams. The Master Men’s crew clinched second in their category in a time of 2 hours 38 minutes, and the Golden Master’s (60 years plus) were first in their division, in a time of 2 hours 45 minutes. The Marathon National Titles held in Mooloolaba saw several Noosa teams race in a competitive field, with great results. In the men’s long course event over 22kms, the Noosa Golden Masters were first in their category in a time of 1 hour 39 minutes, the Master team second in their category in 1 hour 38 minutes, and two Senior Masters teams third and sixth in their category in 1 hour 40 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes respectively. In the women’s long course 18km event, the Noosa Master Women were fifth in their category in a time of 1 hour 37 minutes. The Great Barrier Reef Outrigger Challenge, a 42km marathon race from Palm Cove to Port Doug-

las, saw two men’s teams from Noosa venture north to compete. The Senior Master’s team aka Noosa Loggerheads, had raced in this event the last two years, and while all the time questioning their sanity, headed back again treating the race as the finale to the six-man outrigger canoe season. The Master’s team, who have been the stars of the club this year improving in every race by leaps and bounds, entered well briefed and prepared, though with some trepidation but also with a lot of excitement and adrenalin. After a slow start the Master team (John Goller, Peter Williams, Michael Blumentals, Martin Courtnay, David Russell and Paul Squire) used good tactics to fairly quickly pull back the one kilometre advantage the Coconuts Outrigger Canoe Club had, to achieve line honours after 3 hours and 11 minutes of paddling. The Noosa Loggerheads (Des Mabbott, Harry Crockford, Graham Woods, Roger Arbuckle, Brad Burgess and Marco Rocco) had a much better start and were battling with Coconuts and Hekili teams at the front of the race early on. The youth

of the two teams and of the Masters saw the Loggerheads arrive at the finish line in fourth position overall, though first in their category, in a time of 3 hours and 17 mins. This race added to results of other events this year, and both teams won the divisional prizes of accommodation at Hamilton Island for the Clash of the Paddles festival held 14 and 15 June 2014. The two teams have now returned from this event, where they competed confidently over the 16km course. Both the Master Men and Noosa Loggerheads teams clinched third in their categories, in times of 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 18 minutes respectively. This marks the end of the competitive 2013-14 calendar, but Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club continues to paddle in a non-competitive manner in the Noosa River and ocean. If you would like to find out what makes outrigger canoeing so much fun and exciting, please call Des Mabbott on 5470 2390 or 0420 935 769 or email mabbott@hku.hk. Des says that if you enjoy competitive sport, love the ocean and enjoy team sports, then this is the sport for you.

Inset: Australian cricket legend turned public speaker, Rodney Hogg, takes an important call.

Legends Border and Hogg return By JONATHON HOWARD AUSTRLAIAN cricket legends, Allan Border and Rodney Hogg, are coming to Noosa next week to present their popular Sportsmen’s Dinner. The pair will visit the Noosa Tewantin Golf Club on Thursday 26 June. The tour has received rave reviews throughout Australia and although Border and Hogg made exception cricketers, as it turns out, they also make darn good public speakers. Rodney spoke to Noosa Today about his initial fear of public speaking and touring with the great Allan Border. “We really enjoy our visits to Noosa,” he said. “It’s also great to do the tour with Allan, who is really the cricketing legend - I just provide some comic relief.” Catch Allan Border and Rodney Hogg at the Noosa Tewantin Golf Club, 46 Cooroy-Noosa Road, Noosa Heads, on Thursday 26 June from 6.30pm (7pm start). Ticket prices for members are $100 and nonmembers $120 which includes dinner, wine and beer. Dress is smart casual for booking phone (07) 5447 1407.
