Dolphins swim to victory THE Noosa Tigers may have been downed

by Brisbane Mayne in the QFA North Grand Final at Caboolture on Saturday, but during that same day the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union side bashed their way to victory over University.

The narrow onepoint Dolphins’ win 10-9 was testament to how hard both sides strived to glory, but Noosa held on for the win.

People power

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA residents continue to express outrage at what they are calling “exorbitant” power and water prices as the masses begin to gather.

Semi-retired Noosa man Ken

Gamble appeared on page 3 of last week’s Noosa Today (11 September) demanding an explanation from the Minister for Energy and Water Mark McArdle.

Mr Gamble said he was fed up with the “political spin” and he had

demanded straight and honest answers - which, he said, residents could handle.

Since the article, several Noosa residents have applauded Mr Gamble’s comments and have highlighted their own power bill hikes.

Noosa resident Jim Green said he was slugged with what he said were excessive termination charges when he moved to Noosa recently.

Mr Green said the processing fees, line charges, termination charges, supply charges and finally actual

power usage charges, were ridiculous.

Mr Green said he had written to both Noosa MP Glen Elmes and Minister McArdle to flag his concerns.

Concerns over the long wait

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA residents have expressed concern for hospital surgery waiting times as they continue to apply pressure on the State Government to increase healthcare services at Noosa Hospital.

While many residents have called for the addition of a birthing suite at Noosa Hospital, demands for increased hip and knee replacement surgeries have also been hotly debated.

Noosa Today put several questions to Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service chief executive Kevin Hegarty, to determine the current surgery wait times and future use of Noosa Hospital.

“As at 1 August 2014, there are no long wait category 1 (urgent recommended admission within 30 days) orthopaedic patients, there are two long wait category patients 2 (recommended admission within 90 days) and three long wait category 3 patients (non-urgent - recommended admission within 365 days),” Mr Hegarty said.

When asked why Noosa Hospital does not offer knee and hip replacement surgeries, Mr Hegarty said the matter was in the hands of Ramsay Health Care, the current owner of Noosa Hospital.

“Under the service agreement that the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service (SCHHS) has with Ramsay Health Care, the owners and operators of Noosa Hospital, the SCHHS as the client, has the ability to purchase the volume and range of services that helps us best meet the health care need of the community it serves,” he said.

“The annual decision as to what range and volume of services that are purchased from Noosa Hospital is made with consideration of the health needs of the Sunshine Coast and Gympie communities and the changing availability of services.

“The provision of orthopaedic services at Noosa Hospital to private patients is of course a matter for Ramsay Health Care.”

Following Noosa Hospital’s ex-

Mum has the final word

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA mother of two Shannon Ichikawa said she recently noticed Noosa Today running stories from local mums calling for a birthing centre to be built at Noosa Hospital.

Mrs Ichikawa said she had both her children at Buderim Hospital, which she believes was too far for expectant mums to travel.

“I had both my babies in Buderim, and the staff there were great, but I believe it would be fantastic to have a birthing centre in Noosa,” she said.

“It’s so far to go and the 45 minute drive is quite stressful for a labouring woman. At this special time of a woman’s life she needs to choose and feel comfortable about where to have her baby.”

Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service chief executive Kevin Hegarty. piry of the current 20-year contract on 30 June 2020, Mr Hegarty said several public health assurances had already been made.

“Discussions are already underway with RHC about the arrangements post this date,” he said.

“As per public assurances already given, there will be continuation of funded services for public patients within the private hospital post 30 June, 2020.”

Mr Hegarty also attempted to ease concerns around the closure of certain birthing services at Nambour Hospital once Kawana Hospital comes online.

Shannon Ichikawa with six-month-old Miller.

“The Sunshine Coast Public University Hospital is being developed as a tertiary level facility,” he said.

“That is, it will provide services that are currently not available at public hospitals on the Sunshine Coast e.g. neurosurgery, a comprehensive cancer care service, trauma service.

“This will mean about 10,000 residents of the Sunshine Coast who are currently admitted to public hospitals in Brisbane each year will be able to receive their care on the Sunshine Coast.

“For some of these high level services it will mean that residents of Noosa, who are public patients, will

travel to Kawana rather than Brisbane.

“The impact of this is even more significant when each inpatient admission to a Brisbane Hospital would usually entail a number of pre-admission and post-admission outpatient appointments.”

“The total dollar value of funding provided to the private hospital by the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service remains relatively consistent in excess of $20 million per annum.

“The development of additional services for private patients is of course the right and discretion of the owners and operators of the facility, Ramsay Health Care.”

Separating the issues MEMBER for Noosa and Multicultural Affairs Minister Glen Elmes has defended a move from the Sunshine Coast Muslim community to develop a mosque in Maroochydore.

The site is located on Church Street and was formerly owned by the Uniting Church and was purchased at auction on September 4.

The Muslim Organisation of the Sunshine Coast has since posted a request on its website for assistance with the additional $480,000 to develop the coast’s first mosque.

While the neighbours of the Church Street property and other church groups from different faiths, have welcomed the move, a tirade of racial discrimination is taking place through

social media. Many of the comments are unsuitable for printing and would only give oxygen to those spreading the hate; they range from “we don’t want that here” and outlandish comparisons with terrorist organisations such as IS or ISIL. Mr Elmes said the comparisons circulating through media comment pages and social media “needed to stop.”

“The whole thing is being driven by, on the one hand, peace loving Muslim people who want a mosque and the joining of the people to ISIL - the two should not be joined,” he said.

Mr Elmes acknowledged there could be Australianborn nationals wanting or currently fighting on the side of terrorism in Iraq or Syria.

“They are to be condemned, however there are an overwhelming number of Muslim people who are hardworking peaceful people who want to go to work and have a place to practice their religion,” he said.

The Muslim Organisation of the Sunshine Coast was contacted by Noosa Today for comment, but was unable to respond before the print deadline.

Protest hits the heights

By JONATHON HOWARD MORE than 1500 residents from Coolum and Yaroomba have sent a clear message to Sunshine Coast Council and Japanese developer Sekisui House, that they reject the idea of a major development along the fragile coastline.

The residents have staged a number of protests against the early proposed Sekisui House development, which could include a 12-storey hotel and major retail space.

Signs have also been posted around the streets of Yaroomba calling residents to action.

Online petitions have attracted hundreds of signatures and allegations have arisen that a private firm was now investigating ways around the Sunshine Coast Council’s town plan, which was finalised recently and includes height restrictions.

Noosa Today put several questions to Sekisui House senior development manager Evan Aldridge, to determine how close Sekisui House was to submitting a development application.

“Sekisui House is still in the early planning stages, and does not expect to be ready to lodge a Development Application with the council until the end of 2015,” he said.

Mr Aldridge was also asked whether Sekisui House was aware of height restrictions within the Sunshine Coast Council’s town plan for Yaroomba?

And how does Sekisui House proposed to get around these restrictions?

“It is important to note that all future plans for the site are still in the investigation stage,” he said.

“Any development on the site will be in line with Sekisui House’s founding principles of community, sustainability, and harmony with the natural environment.

“Once we have developed a firmer idea of what we would like to do on the site, we will need to go through the council’s planning and development assessment process, which will include an opportunity for the public to comment on the development.”

The need for speed

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSAVILLE resident Graeme Osborne may have a few years under his belt, but when he’s gripping his bike at almost 300km/h he’s in his element.

Mr Osborne started riding at the age of 12, and while he did have a brief time off the bike growing up, he can still set a cracking pace to rival even the youngest competitor on the track.

He’s raced such notable tracks as the Tasmanian Lightweight TT, but most of his racing has been in his home state of Victoria.

Now a Noosa resident, he will be testing his nerves of steel in the Shannon’s 2014 Australian Historic Road Race Championships from 25-28 September.

As you would suspect, Mr Osborne comes from a long line of family members who have raced into the history books.

His father won several Australian championships in the 1930s, his brother Alan won a couple of Australian championships in the 1960s and in the 1980s Alan’s son Donnie won three Aussie championships.

Mr Osborne won three Victorian State titles early in his career, stopped racing

in 1974 and returned 35 years later at the age of 70.

Ironically, 2013 proved to be the best year in his racing career, netting him four wins.

“I got a bit a bit of a run on,” he smiles.

“For me, it’s never been a matter of fear or worry, I just look forward to the next ride and the next experience tomorrow.”

You won’t find showcases full of trophies and medallions in Mr Osborne’s home, despite a long and noteworthy racing career; it’s the experience that counts for him.

As well as an impressive racing history, Mr Osborne has a musical background.

He played guitar and saxophone and sang in Geelong’s first rock band in the 1950s.

One of his fellow members was Georgie Bracken, former Australian Middleweight champion boxer.

He last played with the group in a revival in 2002, but now gives most of his leisure time to his classic motorcycles, saying that he wants to give what he can to racing before he gets too old.

“When people ask me why I still race I tell them, I do it because I can,” he says.

Her diamond dream

By JONATHON HOWARD ONE woman’s goal to give all women the chance to own fine quality, beautifully designed jewellery was the success story behind Secrets Shhh.

It was with this goal in mind that Secrets managing director and co-founder Jane Meredith opened her first store at Bay Village in the year 2000.

Fourteen years on, Secrets Shhh has grown into a nationally recognised brand with rave reviews from happy customers all over the country and the world.

The Secrets Shhh brand is now entering a new phase by closing its Bay Village outlet and re-opening on Hastings Street.

The new Secrets store is located beside Aromas within the Sebel Hotel shopping precinct and was due to open on Wednesday, 17 September, with a grand opening event in November.

Strangely, Ms Meredith’s first taste of the high-end diamond industry was when she had lost everything.

“After selling my Donut King business and ending a 20-year relationship, a friend asked me to help out in his high-end jewellery store,” she said.

“While I was there he advised me that only nine per cent of women could afford the high-end diamonds we were selling.”

Ms Meredith said it was while carefully placing rings in the front window that she noticed a woman pushing a pram towards the window.

Secrets Shhh staff are excited about the new Hastings Street store opening.

“She looked up at me, then down at the diamond rings and back up at me with a sense of sadness and walked away,” she said.

“It was in that moment I had an epiphany - we were both one of the 91 per cent of women who couldn’t afford high end diamonds.”

Ms Meredith held this experience close to her heart, as she embarked on her greatest challenge

to bring finely crafted jewellery to every woman, something she now achieves every day.

From humble beginnings Secrets is now throughout Australia and online with new stores opening in 2014.

With stunning designs set in solid white, yellow or rose gold, Secrets jewellery still has the symbolic meaning for love and commitment - and today many couples

are choosing their engagement and wedding rings from Secrets.

Sharing her secrets of success, Ms Meredith said to surround yourself with a team who believed in your product and “never give up”.

The new store will be giving away a beautiful gift with every purchase valued at $50 or over until Sunday, 21 September.

People power From Page 1 “I ran my own $12 million company and if I had the audacity to charge a processing fee, I would collect an extra supposedly $96,000, but my customers would have told me to go and jump,” he wrote.

“How can a company which has a monopoly be allowed to charge what they want?

“Years ago when I had a gas account, we could never get over the minimum charge of around $10 - tell me how the supply charge is more than the usage?

“I believe if your government doesn’t, or prospective governments do not address this problem, it will be their undoing as there is so much disquiet in the community about the energy companies. Our average combined bill in Brisbane was around $460 a month, not long ago this was the cost of a monthly mortgage.”

Meanwhile, fellow Noosa resident Peter Barrett has also entered the debate, urging people power at the ballot box.

“On electricity prices, the “service charge” is massively impacted by renewable energy subsidies - especially rooftop solar - plus electrical union featherbedding, and the “profit” the government decides the power utilities will hand over each year,” Mr Barrett said.

“On water bills, the ‘service charge’ includes the long-running repayment of the $8 billion plus interest the Beattie Government wasted on now disused and rusting desalination plants and water grid pipelines, the expensive new water utilities’ bureaucracies, public sector union featherbedding, and the inevitable customer-gouging government mandated ‘profit’.

“Voters really should be asking why Government-owned monopoly utilities are allowed to generate profits from customers when there are no alternative providers. Surely, cost plus necessary capital investment is more equitable.

“And considering the rip-offs listed above, maybe voters should really be more careful who they vote for.”

Neighbours cry foul

By JONATHON HOWARD AN APPLICATION to construct an intensive poultry farm at Ridgewood west of Cooroy could be knocked back by Noosa councillors this week, as a petition against the application gained momentum and debate rages among residents.

It has been one of the most hotly debated topics in Cooroy for the past 12 months and one that has divided many residents.

The material change of use application was made for 136 Top Forestry Road, Ridgewood, to construct eight 100m x 16m sheds, which would each house around 35,000 broiler chickens or a total of 240,000.

The farm is currently producing avocados and wants to diversify current farm operations into the poultry industry to provide chickens to retailer Inghams Enterprises.

The application was submitted

by Ridgewood farmer Dave Milligan to the Sunshine Coast Council in November 2013. However, the Sunshine Coast Council decided to defer consideration of the matter pending additional information such as traffic studies and impact to neighbouring residents.

The matter has since been raised again under the now Noosa Council, but early indications by council’s planning staff was to recommend refusal of the applicant due to five specific reasons including: impacts to neighbours, traffic issues, scenic impact, lack of sufficient separation from neighbours and the proposed poultry farm

Late rates top $30 million as review looms

By JONATHON HOWARD

The proposed stocking density for the Ridgewood farm would be 16.75 chickens per square metre. “does not comply with the overall outcomes of the Noosa Plan’s Mary River Catchment locality”.

A change.org petition has also attracted more than 430 signatures against the poultry farm, citing issues with the proposed site and impact to neighbouring properties.

The petition and website (cooroybroilerfarm.com) was started

by Ridgewood resident Jessica Arnold, who wrote to the Noosa Council expressing her concerns.

Ms Arnold had been fighting the application since its inception.

“Please consider the interests of the vast majority of Cooroy

idea is heartbreaking,” she said.

Mr Milligan had previously told media sources the poultry farm would not subject the chickens to inhumane conditions nor would it use steroids or intensive use of antibiotics.

Mr Milligan has almost 40 years farming experience in cattle, mangoes and avocadoes.

Noosa councillors were expected to make a decision during their general committee meeting on Monday 22 September, followed by a final decision on Thursday 25 September.

residents who will have their lives serverely disrupted by this inappropriate development and reject the broiler farm application,” she wrote to Noosa Council.

Ms Arnold lives near the proposed site and said she had concerns for the run-off, smell and noise, but her biggest concern was the idea of packing chickens into a confined space.

“But above all else I love all animals and hate the idea of so many chickens being treated so harshly so close to where I live, and I work hard to save such animals who have been cruelly treated and the

RATES reminders will be mailed out to about 3200 property owners across the Noosa Shire this week, totalling about $5.8 million in outstanding rates, according to Noosa Council’s financial statements.

Rate notices were issued on 15 July this year, with a due date of 15 August.

The gross amount of the levy was $33.73 million, which included $31.02 million of council rates and charges, and $2.71 million for the State Emergency Management Levy.

Between January and July 2014 the net increase in rateable properties was 72, which equates to growth of 0.25 per cent, according to council documents.

In further news, Noosa Council will also be revaluing properties across the shire during the 2015/16 financial year after it did not receive new valuations for the 2014/15 financial year.

Annual land values will be assessed by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines as at 1 October 2014, with notices issued to property owners before 31 March 2015.

Owners then have 60 days to lodge an objection if they wish to do so, and the new valuations take effect for rating purposes from 1 July 2015.

Noosa Council should receive details of the 2015 valuations prior to their release to the public (usually early March) to aid in budget preparation.

Councillors were expected to vote on the rates announcements during this week’s general committee meeting followed by the ordinary meeting on 25 September.

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Council has slammed claims made

by Sunshine Coast Alliance president Steve Bennett that the council “appears like a basket case� and was “on track towards financial ruin�.

Mr Bennett’s claims were made on the front page of last week’s Noosa Today (11 September), with several residents expressing outrage at Mr Bennett’s comments.

Mayor Noel Playford has also written a letter to Noosa Today expressing his disappointment in the article, which you can read on page 25 of this week’s edition.

Mr Bennett told Noosa Today that he feared the suburbs of Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs should not join with Noosa Council.

The current re-boundary application is with the Minister for Local Government David Crisafulli and is pending a decision next year.

The Sunshine Coast Council has already made a submission against the re-boundary bid, while Noosa Council remains on the fence.

Several Noosa residents have also questioned Mr Bennett’s motives and whether he aligns himself with the Sunshine Coast Council’s pro-development philosophies.

Meanwhile, memberships for the Sunshine Coast Alliance have since increased with more than 100 members now signed up.

Mr Bennett said if there was no support against the EDV re-boundary bid before, there is now. “We have had an absolute outpouring of support from the community, with dozens of

new members signing up every day since the article,� he said. “In particular there have been a number of residents from Doonan who are against the EDV re-boundary bid and were, until now, silent.�

Mr Bennett said the EDV group had been given a free rein in the media to push their agenda and messages across many platforms, but those opposed had been ignored. “There was a need to bring some balance to this debate and we’re here to provide that balance,� he said.

Several residents and Noosa Council said Mr Bennett’s claims about the Noosa Council’s financial situations were false and they have reiterated that the council is on a path towards both sustainability and prosperity. EDV Residents Group vice-president Paul Prentice also wrote to Noosa Today and said the battle-lines were now drawn. “It’s time for EDV residents to take a stand,� he wrote. “The EDV proposal to become part of the Noosa Shire has become an absolute imperative.�

The EDV Residents Group said it would also be sending out a flyer to residents informing them of ways to get involved.

Read more from Mr Prentice, Mayor Playford and other residents on page 25. Noosa Today contacted EDV president Johanne Wright for comment but she was overseas and will return in one month.

By JONATHON HOWARD THE Noosa Coast Guard has found another possible site for a proposed memorial wall, after Noosa Council rejected the first proposed site at Noosa spit last month.

Although nothing is set in stone, Coast Guard QF5 deputy flotilla commander Alan Hall said the Noosa lookout at the end of Viewland Drive, was a possibility. “We’re considering sites at this stage and the Noosa lookout is just one of the possibilities,� he said.

The memorial wall was proposed by the Noosa Coast Guard as a way for residents and visitors to remember lost loved ones.

But the wall has a serious fund-raising need as Noosa Coast Guard looks for ways to raise funds for a new sea rescue vessel, which will be desperately needed in the next five years.

In other Coast Guard news, Mr Hall has urged boaties to check their equipment and vessels for holes after a leaky catamaran went under on the Noosa River on Saturday 13 September.

Mr Hall said the catamaran owners had put the vessel into Noosa River only to realise the vessel had a number of holes in it.

For details or for assistance on the water, phone (07) 5474 3695.

Scene set for battle over the ball THE Noosa International Sevens competition is just two weeks away and the battle lines have been drawn.

The Federation of Oceania Rugby Unions (FORU) has announced the draw for the 12 men’s and seven women’s national teams coming to the Sunshine Coast as part of the three-day festival.

And the Australian men’s team won’t be happy - they’ve been put up against sevens specialists Samoa in the qualifying rounds.

As current world champion, New Zealand has been allocated top seed status and heads Pool A which includes American Samoa, Papua New Guinea and Niue. Second seed Fiji, which finished

third in this year’s World Sevens Series, tops Pool B with the Cook Islands, Solomon Islands and Tahiti in the firing line for first day action.

But it’s in Pool C where local interest will lie as tournament third seeds and current Oceania Sevens champions Samoa have been placed above Australia, with Tonga and New Caledonia also thrown into the mix.

Every team will play its three pool matches on the first day of the festival. The top two teams in each group, as well as the next two best-performed teams across the three pools, will progress to the quarter-finals on day two.

Cruising the challenges

By JONATHON HOWARD FOR THE past 20 years, Catalina Cruises Noosa has been assisting locals and residents celebrate their special events while cruising the Noosa River, and this week they mark the anniversary.

Owners Beven and Judy Inwood took over what is today Catalina Cruises Noosa and expanded the business to offer Noosa’s largest passenger vessel along with floating party cruises.

While business remains a daily challenge on the river, Mr Inwood said he had built up a lot of

Catalina Cruises Noosa owner Beven Inwood has been working the Noosa River for 20 years this week... and loving it.

great memories and hoped to be serving the community for years to come.

During that time, the couple has survived floods, the global financial crisis and a range of changes to the Noosa River business landscape.

“We were one of the first operators to offer an eco tour on the Noosa River back in the 1990s, and that was well before ‘eco’ was considered popular,” Mr Inwood said.

The couple has also invested large sums of money to ensure their boats are of the highest standards.

“We have two boats… the larger of the two, Catalina… is the largest passenger vessel on the Noosa River,” he said.

Catalina is regularly booked out by loving couples wanting to tie the knot or by other party groups wanting to enjoy the river with entertainment and full bar.

“We’ve had some extremely happy couples take up our services over the years and the letters we receive are a testament to our hard work,” he said.

But running a business on the Noosa River is always challenging and Mr Inwood said the business landscape was suffering

from a lack of innovation.

“There’s been a big shift away from innovative ideas and operators, who create new and exciting ideas for visitors and residents, instead a lot of copycat businesses are now squeezing the market,” he said.

“The results mean it’s very hard to make a lot of money on the Noosa River these days and it’s only going to get worse as more operators arrive and they copy what they perceive as successful business models.”

To find out more about Catalina Cruises phone (07) 5474 1005.

The new force in tourism ed to the host venue that best meets their needs.

The primary venue will act as the single point of contact and prepare one proposal offering flexible and creative solutions by working with each venue operator to meet the brief.

PCOs will enjoy all that Noosa has to offer without being restricted to just one venue or accommodation provider and will save time by having one contact without the need for multiple phone calls and time consuming venue research.

Combined, the five resorts feature 708 rooms, 1500 beds, and meeting capacity for up to 830 delegates, and all are within walking distance of each other anlong with Noosa’s range of natural, lifestyle and entertainment attractions.

Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said the five-venue collaboration was a great initiative for Noosa and he expected the entire region to benefit as a result of businesses working together to secure larger conferences to the Sunshine Coast, with the proof evident in drawing DestinationQ to Noosa.

“When the Queensland Government approached the major event venues on the Sunshine Coast to tender for DestinationQ, no individual property in Noosa had the capacity to host a forum of this size,” he said.

“The business development teams at Outrigger Little Hastings Street and Sheraton Noosa saw the significant benefits of putting Noosa in the spotlight and worked collaboratively to present one single

DestinationQ: Mayor Noel Playford with Queensland Premier Campbell Newman, wife Lisa Newman and Sunshine Coast Destination Limited CEO Simon Ambrose at the forum launch, Noosa Main Beach. tender proposal that not only met the government’s criteria, but also exceeded its expectations.

“This a major coup for the area which outbid some of Queensland’s most iconic tourism destinations and is a prime example of venue operators working together, for the

benefit of the entire region rather than competing for the business.”

He went on to congratulate Mantra French Quarter Resort, The Sebel and RACV Noosa Resort for joining the MICE Noosa collaboration also commending the business model.

1153928-ACM37-14

DESTINATIONQ may have rolled out of town yesterday, but it has left a newly formed tourism collaboration in its wake.

Five major Noosa venues have joined forces to create MICE Noosa, a one-stop venue and point of contact for professional conference organisers (PCOs).

The collaboration includes Noosa’s five nationally branded four and five-star resorts: Sheraton Noosa Resort and Spa; Outrigger Little Hastings Street Resort and Spa; RACV Noosa Resort; The Sebel Noosa and Mantra French Quarter Resort.

PCOs can simply visit a dedicated web page developed by Tourism Noosa, complete their primary requirements and will then be direct-

Welcoming

By JONATHON HOWARD A JETTY dispute between Kevin Driscoll and the Noosa Council is no closer to being resolved and the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) has washed its hands of the matter.

The dispute is over a publicly owned jetty at the corner of Williams Street and Gympie Terrace, which was purchased by Mr Driscoll and his wife in 1993.

Mr Driscoll says he has an independent engineer’s report which confirms the jetty was impacted by the shifting of a council owned footpath and was subsequently washed away during the cyclone Oswald floods in January 2013.

Mr Driscoll handed the independent engineer’s report in to council last week.

The matter was handed to the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection when Mr Driscoll made a one-man protest on top of the site.

But after removing the temporary structure, the department has now washed its hands of the matter referring all inquiries back to Noosa

Kevin Driscoll may not be protesting on his jetty site, but the battle continues behind the scenes.

Council. In a statement to Noosa Today a spokesperson for EHP said the matter has been finalised from EHP’s perspective.

“Matters regarding the footpath should be addressed to Noosa Shire Council,” the statement

read. Meanwhile, Noosa Council is preparing an application to repair the footpath adjacent to the jetty site, but will so far avoid repairs to the pylons.

“This is blatant injustice of my rights to prop-

erty,” Mr Driscoll said.

“Noosa Council needs to stand up and admit the footpath impacted the jetty and pay for the damage caused.”

The matter was ongoing.

NOOSA MP Glen Elmes is urging Noosa’s digital entrepreneurs to win fame and a $60,000 fortune from software giant Microsoft, if they enter this year’s Premier’s Awards for Open Data.

The awards champion Queenslanders who find creative ways to use the masses of online information released by the State Government under its open data initiative.

Mr Elmes said more than 1400 previously unreleased sets of raw data had been published for the public and businesses to utilise.

“Open data makes government more accountable and presents a fantastic opportunity for digital innovators,” Mr Elmes said.

Information released by the Queensland Government under its open data policy covers a vast range and includes real-time wave height records, details of the State’s capital works projects and a breakdown of compulsory third-party insurance claims.

Open data, which is available to download free of charge at www. data.qld.gov.au, has already been used to create several new apps and

help businesses develop new services.

Examples include an app to alert drivers when they enter a school zone, a one-stop online shop for farmers looking for land data and an improved way to plan bus and train travel.

“Queensland is already creating half of all new jobs in Australia and open data will help more Queensland businesses start up and succeed,” Mr Elmes said.

Categories in the Premier’s Awards include best use of open data, best commercial app and best community app. There will also be awards for the best submissions from Queensland students and public servants.

The Queensland Government prize pool of $17,000 in cash will be awarded to entrants who demonstrate the most innovative and productive use of public data.

In addition, Microsoft will award $60,000 to the entry which demonstrates the most start-up potential.

Nominations close on 26 September. The winners will be announced in December.

For more information on entering the awards, please visit www. data.qld.gov.au

Changes will assist: Truss In part two of Noosa Today’s Q&A with Federal Wide Bay MP and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss, we discuss homeless concerns and whether the federal Coalition government is turning its back on those people living on benefits. Mr Truss’ responses are provided in full below.

According to our local Salvation Army, there is a growing number of homeless and hungry families struggling to access limited services as they struggle to pay mounting debts and increasing bills. What is the government’s plan to address the rising cost of living? And how is the government supporting community groups and networks who are struggling to provide basic services to those in need?

I understand that there are people who are struggling with the cost of living and the government has a number of programs in place to assist people in times of need.

It is important to ensure that our social safety net is viable and the Coalition’s Budget has made some decisions to put government expenditure on a sustainable footing.

The abolition of the carbon tax and the retention of carbon tax compensation arrangements are designed to assist households that are experiencing financial difficulties.

The government is continuing to work with and support community service groups including State agencies, such as the Queensland Department of Housing, to deliver essential

services to people in need.

New initiatives are being introduced, including the Families and Communities Program, Housing and Homelessness Program, and the Disability, Mental Health and Carers Program. The new programs are being delivered to streamline existing services and ensure that the best approaches are being used to address needs. The government is reducing duplication and regulation, implementing simpler financial and performance reporting, and providing a greater opportunity for innovation in the delivery of services to assist the sector.

The government is also re-establishing a Community Business Partnership to promote a culture of philanthropic giving and volunteering in Australia.

Is the government turning its back on those living on benefits?

And how do you feel coastal towns and your electorate will benefit in the long term under proposed changes to Centrelink payments?

The government is making Australia’s welfare system sustainable and help people who are able to work to find jobs.

The hard questions with Federal Wide Bay MP and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss.

We are implementing a number of new programs to boost employment, which include: A Job Commitment Bonus, to reward young, long-term unemployed job seekers aged 18-30 if they get and keep a job. Eligible job seekers receiving payments for at least 12 months will receive $2500 if they get a job and remain off welfare for 12 months. The same job seekers will be eligible for an additional $4000 if they remain in continuous work and off income support for a total of 24 months.

Relocation Assistance to Take Up

¡

¡

¡

a Job, aimed at providing relocation assistance for people who have been on certain welfare payments for at least 12 months. Up to $6000 will be available to support eligible job seekers relocating to regional areas to take up a job.

Eligible job seekers relocating to a metropolitan area from a regional area to take up a job may receive up to $3000. Families with dependent children will be provided with up to an extra $3000 to assist with the costs of moving.

Restart, an incentive that will provide a subsidy of up to $10,000 if employers hire a worker aged 50

and above. The subsidy applies to job seekers who have been on income support for six months or more and who are employed continuously for two years.

A Work for the Dole program that will help job seekers to transition from welfare to work by giving them the experience and skills they need to make them job ready.

The Coalition Government is acting to strengthen the economy by removing taxes and reducing regulation, to ease cost of living pressures, create confidence and support jobs growth, so that everyone who wants to work is able to.

Show back to its best

By JONATHON HOWARD THE Noosa Country Show has been hailed the biggest and best on record following a return to the traditional show formula at the weekend.

The show committee has been praised for bringing back some of the quality and charm to one of Queensland’s oldest country shows.

But it was not a smooth road by any means and Noosa Show Society vicepresident Perene Barker has revealed a secret struggle behind the scenes with the former show committee.

“Our past two shows, in 2012 and 2013, did not meet the community expectations after too many unnecessary cutbacks and negative changes,” Ms Barker said.

“But we threw out most of the old committee and brought back a lot of the old traditions and show elements that were loved by residents.

“The result was one of the biggest and best shows we’ve ever had, including beating our previous records during the centenary show.”

Ms Barker said the previous commit-

tee had started with the best intensions of saving money and creating a healthy bank account.

“The problem was the cutbacks were so extensive the show suffered and the funds were not being re-invested,” Ms Barker said.

“We were able to correct that this year and we re-invested everything we could to make it the best show ever.”

She said thousands of residents and visitors converged on the iconic Pomona Show Grounds to watch the wide range of animal shows, rides and treats for the whole family.

The current committee are also receiving praise from their sponsors with several already signed up for next year and ensuring the show’s coffers are maintained.

Ms Barker said she wanted to thank the show’s sponsors, committee, committee members and show goers for their dedication and commitment to making the show a success.

“We’re already planning for next year to be bigger and better again, which is a big ask but we’re ready for the challenge,” she said.

Behind the scenes HOW does a community jury work?

Council identifies an appropriate topic and the level of authority it wishes to give to the jury.

An independent body (e.g., a university) would co-ordinate the project and issue 3000 invitations at random within the community, inviting participation.

From positive responses, a random electronic draw is conducted with stratification applied to ensure demographic match to census profile by age bracket, gender, suburb and ratepayer status. Surrogate indicators are used to ensure spread of income and educational background.

A panel of 24 citizens is then selected at random to form the community jury (some reserves are also selected).

Participants are asked to commit to meet once per month for a period of no more than one year (most likely about six months).

· Launching the citizens’ jury idea was Noosa Councillors (back row) Joe Jurisevic, Sandy Bolton, Bob Abbot, Frank Wilkie and Frank Pardon, (front row) Mayor Noel Playford and newDemocracy Foundation executive director Iain Walker.

Mixed reaction to ‘citizens’ jury’

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA residents and business owners have expressed early support for Noosa Council’s proposed “citizens’ jury” announcement last week, while sceptics are putting their opinions on hold until the finer details are revealed.

The idea would put the power of community decision making in the hands of a jury-style panel, which would include residents of mixed ages and genders.

The panel or jury would then make the big decisions on issues such as the future use of house boats on the Noosa River and electric bus services.

The idea has received praise from both Noosa residents and visitors, with several visitors eager to raise the idea with their own local councils.

However, early sceptics have emerged and have questioned the move as a waste of ratepayers' time and money and concerns about the overall transparency of the panel.

A final vote to enlist the services of newDemocracy Foundation to develop the panel was expected to be made by Noosa

councillors this week.

Meanwhile, Cooroy resident Noel Bird said the jury proposal was floated at the Cooroy Residents Association meeting by mayor Noel Playford and “has much to commend in principle”.

“However, it all depends on the yet-tobe-announced details,” Mr Bird wrote to Noosa Today.

“In the early discussions which led to the formation of Noosa Independence Alliance, the issue of how to implement ongoing and effective community input to council policy and decision making was a key area of debate.

“One suggestion was that a non-compulsory election should be held to select panel members, another was that they be nominated by major community groups and associations.”

Mr Bird said before any such proposal came before the full council, he believed there needed to be wider consultation on the options available, which were not necessarily restricted to those methods mentioned.

“I feel in any event that the word ‘jury’ is inappropriate - the panel’s degree of au-

thority needs to be adequately defined in the constitution of the council,” he said.

“There is a lot of middle ground between a toothless public forum, authorised simply to discuss ideas and make suggestions, and a ‘jury’ empowered to make decisions at the same level as elected councillors.

“My own preferred model would be a single panel, democratically selected without council influence, which would have the same level of authority to make proposals to council as the council staff do now.

“Such a panel would operate at quite a different level to that of the former Biosphere Sector Boards, though interaction and joint consultation would seem to be essential.

“I’m sure there are others who have different and possibly better ideas. Now is the time for them to be brought forward and evaluated.”

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you support the idea of a people’s panel or citizen’s jury to determine the big issues facing Noosa?

prehensive schedule, including confidentiality items and an explanatory kit. The pre-reading is required prior to final acceptance so that participants understand what the commitment entails before the panel is finalised.

The jury will obtain information and expert advice on the issue they have been assigned from two sources, the council and the community.

The process is effectively complemented by traditional engagement techniques (such as surveys, on line platforms, forums, interviews and existing advisory committees). There is opportunity for other community groups, organisations or individuals to submit their view and provide input.

Upon considering all the information the jury determines its position on the issue they have been assigned to resolve.

People's jury lauded

By JONATHON HOWARD NOOSA Today hit the streets this week to ask residents and visitors whether they agree with the Noosa Council’s idea to form a people’s jury to make the tough decisions.

“I’ve read a lot about this and I think it’s good. It’s a forum for the people to solve problems, which I agree with.

I also think if (Cr) Bob Abbot has anything to do with it, then it will be a good thing,”Allan Smith, Beaudesert.

“I’d put my hand up for the jury. I think the more input into council decisions the better, as long as people are selected from a wide variety of people and not residents with vested interests,” Steve McLean, Marcus Beach.

“If they are genuine and Mayor (Noel) Playford says the council is transparent, then decisions made by the jury also need to be transparent. I think it’s also important for the public and media to have full access to the process,” Beven Inwood, Noosa.

Well set as home of sport Benny’s

beat BENNY PIKE

LAST weekend’s Triathlon in Mooloolaba made me start to think of why the Sunshine Coast has become such a favorite with international and national tri-athletes.

It didn’t take long to work out the answer and in particular why Noosa is the home away from home for the best in the business.

Two-time Noosa tri winner and leading coach Nick Croft summed it up very quickly “Noosa has the full package, and becomes their home base”.

Nick’s career has seen him win 35 events around the world, the 1986 Australian long distance title and teamed with Brad Beven, Greg Welch to claim the first ever world teams title in 1989. His company, Multi-Sports Consultants, had a bag full of competitors do the distance last Sunday.

The package Nick is referring to includes training venues whether it be running the national park or Tewantin Forrest, cycling in the hinterland, swimming in Laguna Bay or Noosa aquatics. He added the Coast uni’s sports science department and the Coast airport both adding to the experience.

Nick's not the only one who likes what the area has to offer, how’s this for a list of people who won’t argue - Olympic champions Germany’s Jan Frodeno, his partner Emma Snowsill, Canada’s Simon Whitfield, world champions England's Simon Lessing, Spain's Javier Gomez and Aussies

Melissa Hauschidt, Mirinda Carfrae and Leanda Cave. Olympians Greg and Laura Bennett have been seen training here for years and you can throw in Canadian Carol Montgomery.

Six-time Noosa winner Craig Walton liked the place so much he nows lives here and has recently started his own Mexican restaurant at Kawana shopping centre.

Fellow Walk of Fame inductee Emma Carney is another who has been smitten by what's on offer and is happy to call Noosa home.

This love of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast isn’t going to fade especially for this mode of lifestyle. Everyone needs to brace for the influx of health conscious, sport and wellbeing enthusiasts, especially with the 2018 Commonwealth games on the horizon.

Take it from me, turning 60, having lost 14 kilos and now back punching a bag, I am only one of millions who want to enjoy the rest of my time in a much healthier space.

I remember running in 1980 alongside triathlon instigator Dave Power, who was in his 50s at the time.

I was straining to keep up and unaware that the little bloke with the mo was the first Aussie gold medalist to win a Games marathon, the 1958 Cardiff feat not equalled until DeCastella’s fantastic victory in Brisbane 24 years later.

With the coast’s great packages, as Nick Croft suggests on offer, the tradition will continue with a bang.

Congratulations to the Noosa Dolphins for their hard-fought win over Uni, and more so to the entire club with its domination in the Junior Grand Finals. Noosa Surf Club deserves a pat on the back as well, holding up its hand to help the Peregian Club.

New Irish bar on tap

By JONATHON HOWARD THE popular Noosa Reef Hotel is undergoing major renovations downstairs, but upstairs remains open for business.

The seven-week renovation will see the downstairs bar, dance floor and seating areas converted into a Flanagan's Irish Bar which will serve up Guinness and Kilkenny on tap.

Reef Hotel assistant manager Katie Stokell said it had nearly been a decade since the previous renovation.

“We’re creating a new and fresh atmosphere for patrons,” she said.

“The areas will be split into three main sections - the Victoria Dublin Bar, Irish Country Cottage and Kerry Irish Brew House,” she said.

Ms Stokell stressed the Reef Hotel would remain open upstairs during the renovations.

Stories of harmony for tales festival THE Kin Kin Yarn is a storytelling festival that mixes entertainment with stories about living and working in the Noosa biosphere.

The Kin Kin Yarn will be held on 5 October at the Kin Kin Oval and is the first of what the community hopes will become an annual celebration of the importance of the environment.

President of the Kin Kin Community Group and previous Noosa Council candidate Allan Bonsall said the festival is an opportunity to discuss what it means to live and work in a biosphere.

“I’ve lost count of the number of times people have asked me what the biosphere means,” he said.

“The Kin Kin Yarn is not a biosphere show, but we believe it is a great way to show people how easy and how important it is to live in harmony with their environment.”

Kin Kin Yarn is on 5 October at the Kin Kin Oval. It's a chance for the community to chat about living and working in a biosphere.

Noosa Landcare, Noosa Integrated Catchment Association and SEQ Catchments will share their yarns at the festival alongside people who live and work in the region, local poets and artists.

The festival will also feature Metta’s Laughter Clinic, brunch with A Pack of Bards, four local poets, from 9am on

the day, and lots of entertainment for the kids.

There will also be wood chopping displays from champion axemen and a country market with local produce, plant sand crafts, plus visitors can enter the Soapbox Challenge with prizes for children and adults.

cia Bradford will teach students porcelain art in a six-week course starting on 13 October.

LETTERS Responsibility lecture AS A resident of Noosa I feel a local paper such as yours has a definite responsibility to be forever mindful of the life blood of this community, which is tourism, so I was a little surprised and disappointed to see your heading on the front page of the 11 September issue ‘Say no to Noosa’. The old trick of every big newspaper to display a shock headline to spark interest and controversy has no place in a paper such as yours, which should just report what’s happening in the community in a sensible, nonsensational way. I stress I have no issue with the content of the article - it is just the opinions of a certain group - it’s the emotive headline on the front page that irritates me.

Visitors just scanning over the front page of the paper and seeing that headline will almost certainly see it as a negative comment about Noosa. I’m sure the local EDV boundary issue means nothing to them. And locals don’t need that sort of headline across the front page to be enticed to read what’s happening in their community, quite the contrary, it’s just an attention getting device that is an insult to sensible readers. We can read the locally based articles in the subsequent pages of the paper.

Please be more mindful, especially coming into the busy tourist season, that as one of our local papers and the new kid on the block as well, surely you have a responsibility with tourism in mind to maintain a positive uplifting mood especially on your front pages to ensure that Noosa maintains the upbeat and unique reputation that it is famous for. I’m not saying you need to sugar-coat everything you report on, far from it. Perhaps just think a bit more about how visitors will view the headlines.

sible, and to have majority community support.

It would also remove the oddity of having the conjoined Peregian Beach and Peregian Springs areas administered by different councils.

The loss to Sunshine Coast would be relatively minor, while Noosa Council gains would be sustainable.

Worth consideration?

Peter Barrett, Peregian Springs.

What a party CONGRATULATIONS to the Noosa Jazz Club for a wonderful jazz party.

Richard and Patsy Stevens and the rest of the committee and their wonderful army of volunteers at the Noosa Jazz Club organised the fantastic four nights of jazz at Bicentennial Hall.

It was well supported by locals and visitors.

There was standing room only on Saturday night. No wonder at just $35 a ticket each night we got six hours of top line artists performing non-stop jazz.

As they are no longer part of the Noosa Jazz Festival, the Noosa Jazz Club has organised and funded this event for the past four years. Hopefully next year they will receive some funding from government and tourism organisations to make it an even bigger and better event.

J. Cooke, Noosaville.

Be free RESPONDING to your newspaper’s recent letters and articles regarding A Bay - I absolutely agree that the State Government legislation to legalise A Bay as an official “free beach for QLD” is long overdue.

All other states and territories now have legal, free beaches/areas where families have the choice to “bathe and/or sunbathe clad or unclad in designated areas”.

This ensures families are safeguarded against persecution and prosecution. Time is long overdue for QLD to join the rest of Australia and overseas.

Statements like “let sleeping dogs lie” are unhelpful and silly and show little or no respect for law-abiding families who are being left vulnerable.

We live in a pluralistic and democratic society and QLD is failing many. Using the word “offend” is incorrect - the human body is not offensive.

However, because the State Government of QLD cannot bring itself to legislate, set the boundaries and clearly designate/signpost A Bay as a legal “free beach”, our sunny state will remain a bit of a joke.

Finally, the legitimate nudist family (ANF) would disassociate itself from remarks made recently by a Doonan businessman.

M. Weston, Noosa.

and the state of its finances.

Steve Bennett used your paper to push his personal agenda for Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs to remain part of the Sunshine Coast Council.

This is an issue I’ve said many times is a matter for the residents and ultimately the Minister, but I will not remain quiet when your newspaper publishes nonsense such as “The Sunshine Coast Council is sustainable and stable, but Noosa Council appears like a basket case” and “we believe it is on track towards financial ruin.”

Your paper is, or should be, aware that Noosa Council has - without a general rate rise - dramatically increased services, massively increased infrastructure spending, reined in costs and set us on a healthy, long-term financial course that meets all of the sustainability criteria set by the Queensland Government.

So, when your paper runs such obvious nonsense without any attempt to question it, you let down your readers and our community.

Noel Playford, Mayor of Noosa.

Super support

REPORTS in the local press suggest that the newly-formed ‘Sunshine Coast Alliance’ aligns itself (presumably to protect the development aspirations of its members) with the “pro-development at any cost” philosophy consistently espoused by the Sunshine Coast Council.

The writing for more intense development on the Sunshine Coast is clearly on the wall.

Thus, residents in the EDV area now have a clear choice: Do you want to be part of a pro-development, Gold Coast Mk 2 Council with increased density and obtrusive development changing the character of your region forever; or Do you want to be part of a council with a low-density, sustainable development commitment who will protect your amenity?

The battle-lines are now drawn. It’s time for EDV residents to take a stand. The EDV proposal to become part of the Noosa Shire has become an absolute imperative.

Paul Prentice, Vice-President, EDV Residents Group Inc.

Say yes to Noosa

Total nonsense

YOUR front page story last week “Say no to Noosa” provided a soapbox for a series of plainly ridiculous lies about Noosa Council

STEVE Bennett commented on pages one and four (Noosa Today, 11 September) on behalf of the newly formed Sunshine Coast Alliance.

To power and water price hikes.

How can residents plan their family budgets when their bills continue to spike and there’s little incentive to purchase solar panels.

THIS week’s Lenscape contribution comes from Fishing Noosa editor Bill Watson. Bill took this snap from Munna Beach boat ramp at 3.45pm on Wednesday 10 September.

Queensland Park and Wildlife were carrying out a controlled burn at Noosa North Shore in preparation for the summer months and extreme fire danger. “I was on my way to a meeting when I saw the sun penetrating the smoke haze, so I stopped off at Munna Beach and took a few snaps,” he said. “I’ve been photographing around Noosa for my website www.fishingnoosa.com.au for the last 10 years.” Bill uses a Nikon D90 with an 18-200mm Nikon DX VR lens.

IN REPLY to the article Truss Defends Maiden Budget (Noosa Today, 11 September).

In point number one, Mr Truss says the increase had the potential to harm many small businesses.

Well we could have said the same thing when Keating introduced the compulsory super in the first place. What has happened? Has Australia gone down the gurgler since then?

No! We are all reaping the benefits of this now, that is what compulsory savings do. As for salary increases that employees would get instead, well from some of the comments from business owners, they will be waiting a long time.

In point number two, Labor left some debt, that is true, but the world economy at the time dictated that the government had to take drastic action. We will never know what the Libs would have done and what the outcome would have been, but looking at what the Libs did with their huge windfall surplus, and giving the public tax breaks that wouldn’t even buy an individual a hamburger instead of putting the money into badly needed upgrades of our main highways, schools and hospitals. Now that would have been a good legacy!

In point number three, I would like to see an independent audit on how the carbon tax actually penalised the Australian industries and how much it led to loss of jobs. The carbon tax was actually working in decreasing carbon emissions and raising revenue for the government - please explain that to poor penny-pinching Hockey.

Les Lloyd, Noosaville.

He included extreme, and totally untrue, words about the Noosa Shire Council such as “a failing council, unstable, like a basket case” and “can’t continue to offer the same level of service”, etc.

His words are total nonsense and some of the worst “spin” which has been seen in recent times. The exact reverse is the case.

Anyone may examine the council’s 2014'15 Budget on its website. Look at the substantial four-page capital works program as well as the comprehensive financial detail. This shows, among other positive things, a magnificent very low gearing ratio (borrowings compared with net community assets) and look at the projected net debt continuing to drop very substantially during the next five years and beyond. If the data is not fully understood by the reader, please talk to someone who does understand it.

Residents will, both initially and long-term, be better off with Noosa than with their current Council.

John Horn, Tewantin.

Noosa should be worried too OUR neighbours in the Noosa hinterland, the residents of Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale and Weyba Downs, weren’t lucky enough to be a part of the de-amalgamation from the Sunshine Coast Council, as we were.

Among other things, they’re very worried about the SCC’s insatiable desire for development.

So worried in fact, that they’re campaigning for a boundary change to bring themselves into Noosa Shire.

But the latest shenanigans by SCC should have us residents of Noosa Shire extremely worried, too.

‘Consultants’ have been hired to see if SCC can weasel its way around its new planning laws that have only just been signed off in the new Town Plan.

The reason?

A really nice Japanese developer has come along who wants to build a mini Gold Coast just south of Point Arkwright, overlooking the beach in front of Clive Palmer’s dinosaurs. A massive resort complex - with some buildings 12 storeys high.

Currently, the hinterland is the natural, unspoilt gateway to our beloved Noosa; the perfect buffer between us and a world that most of us came here to escape. It’s a long way from us, but don’t forget about the SCC’s massive new town of Caloundra South that’s going to be home to almost as many people as there are in the whole of Noosa Shire.

How would you like it if Noosa was surrounded not by beautiful forested hills, but by a Caloundra North? Far-fetched? Let’s see what happens down on the coast.

And in the meantime, if we seriously value our environment, we should support the EDV residents’ push for boundary change.

Shirley Minns, Noosaville.

Q& A

Property Management

by Karen Seskis

Hi Karen, I want to sell my investment property but my tenant refuses to let us hold open for inspections....can they stop us? Trevor VIC

Yes Trevor, the Residential Tenancy Act states that open inspections and on-site Auctions can only be held with the tenant’s permission.

This scenario can be an issue for sellers but it can usually be overcome with qualified buyers being shown the property by private inspection. This can be carried out but only if the tenant has been issued with the following notices: FORM 10... Notice of Lessor’s Intention to Sell Premises.

FORM 9 Entry Notice... giving the tenant a minimum notice of 24 hours.

Karen can you help?...we have just moved into a property and now the agent has told us the owner is in financial difficulty and wants to sell the property... we have only been here a month!! Sue, Sunrise Beach.

Sorry to hear this Sue it is sad that the owner has to sell, but you do have an option here... the fact you have been at the property for less than two months and you were not advised when you signed the fixed term lease means that you have the option of terminating the lease giving the owner two weeks’ notice (Form 13). Perhaps speaking with the managing agent or owner and negotiating a rent reduction may be an option, as it is expensive to move and the owner may find it hard to rent the property while it is on the market so it could be a win win for you both?

If you have any property management questions that you would like to clarify please feel free to contact me on karen@ripeproperty.com.au

Priceless lifestyle: Noosa missed out on the top hot-spot but a bumper tourism season is predicted for the coming months. Picture: DARRYN SMITH

It’s heating back up TERRY Ryder, founder of Hotspotting.com.au has released the annual Top 10 Brisbane and Queensland Hotspots report for 2014-’15.

MR Ryder, who has over 30 years’ experience in the industry, compiles the annual report to help identify future growth areas around Australia, as well as name the locations he believes will be future hotspots, outperforming the property market.

According to the report, the Sunshine Coast market, which includes the Noosa region, has been hampered by a struggling tourism economy, over-supply of housing and poor housing affordability in recent years.

But now, the report predicts the region will return to a much healthier state with data showing growth for the first time in six years thanks to a stronger tourism industry, a more balanced market, a price decline and a rise in popularity for apartment living.

The report also said “serious infrastructure” was key to improving the local market.

“Nothing supports property price growth like major new infrastructure, which generates jobs, economic activity and improved amenities for residents,” the report reads.

The $2 billion Sunshine Coast University Hospital and $37 million engineering learning hub at the University of the Sunshine Coast are listed as major contributors.

According to the report, the rental market continues to tighten, which is proving advantageous for investors but concerning for tenants.

42 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 18 September, 2014

Hotspotting.com.au founder and report author, Terry Ryder.

The latest report from RP Data reveals rental costs for Sunshine Coast homes have risen 2.3 per cent in the year to June 2014, to average $450 a week.

Unit rental prices have risen 2.9 per cent to an average $360 per week throughout the region.

The report found Noosa and Noosaville are performing well with strong growth in house sales and prices. In the year to June 2014, the report found 166 homes had sold in Noosa and 227 in Noosaville, with the median house price for Noosa at $685,000 and $590,000 for Noosaville, up to 56 per

cent more than the median house price in Maroochydore.

Meanwhile, the price of units has risen for most suburbs; Maroochydore reported an increase of seven per cent over the year to reach a median price of $368,000, while Noosa recorded an increase of six per cent to reach a median price of $465,000.

Despite the apparent growth of the Noosa region, the report labels the southern precinct of the Sunshine Coast, Kawana south to Caloundra, as the ideal region for investors, suggesting the region offers the best affordability.

OPEN SAT & SUN 2PM

THE Noose real estate market was a whole different world in the late 1980s when Base Realtors sales agent Petrea Pradella first entered the industry.

“I didn’t have a computer.

We did not have mobiles, instead we used a radio to talk to the office,” she said.

“And I remember one day I was walking across Hastings Street with other agents and we realised we were the largest group in the street.”

VOGUE STYLE ATRIUM TOWNHOUSE SUPERB LOCATION NOOSA HEADS 11/2 Banksia Avenue This immaculately presented, architecturally built townhouse with breathtaking cathedral ceilings offers a wonderful opportunity to own a brilliant piece of real estate right in the heart of Noosa Heads. The property is in outstanding condition, fastidiously maintained with a North Westerly aspect that allows you to take full advantage of Noosa’s glorious sunny days.

“It was then Brendan Foley said ‘one day people will come to Noosa to watch the rich people play,’ and he was right.”

Petrea said she knew when she was 15 years old she would one day be a real estate agent.

“I was always into house values,” she said. “But, I grew up in a home where real estate agents were tarred with the same brush as used car sales men and so on. So, for a time I was embarrassed about being an agent. But I got over that

quickly as I gained more experience and confidence.

Now, I absolutely love my job and am proud of it.”As one of the first women in the Noosa real estate industry, Petrea said she sometimes experienced the invisible barrier of sexism in the late 1980s and 1990s.

“I didn’t notice it so much when I was a young woman. It was easier to slot in. But as time went by I would leave the industry to care for my family and, when I came back, I was very conspicuous,” she said.

“It is so important to have women in the industry as well as young women in the office. It’s important to know who you are and stay true to that. It was a big thing for me to overcome, but it’s important to remain humble and keep moving forward and upwards,” she said.

“I was a woman and I was older. It felt harder to

But, not one to be held back, Petrea said her age also afforded her the confidence and ability to charge back into the industry.

special feature

Seachange home on cliff MELBOURNE-BASED design company, Modscape, has created a five-storey concept home that clings to the side of a cliff like a barnacle.

Named the Cliff House, the concept was designed as a theoretical response to clients who have approached the company to design home options for extreme parcels of coastal land in Australia.

Modscape said the design was inspired by the way barnacles clung to the hull of a ship and was visualised as a natural extension of the cliff, creating a connection with the ocean.

Modscape, well-known for their modular designs and prefabrication technologies, said to make the design plausible a series of stacked modules were anchored into the cliff face using engineered steel pins.

The home seems upside down, with the carport and entry to the home on the top floor. A lift connects the occupants to the lower living area, where furnishings are kept to a minimum to make the most of the ocean views.

In a seaside town where an ocean view is a must in any luxury home, this design certainly wins out.

Century 21 spreads its reach Century 21 Australasia owner and chairman Charles Tarbey said the new offices would expand the reach and presence of Century 21.

“The continued growth of our network is testament to the strength of the brand, the team behind it and our market-leading technologies,” he said.

“Growth in itself is not the

overarching objective for Century 21; having the right franchisors join our network is.”

Locally, Century 21 Conolly Hay Group principals Mike Hay and David Conolly said they were staunch supporters of the Century 21 brand and received referrals regularly due to the outstanding reputation.

They said the national and international growth was reflected on the Sunshine Coast, with a new office scheduled to open in Palmwoods, which would help service the Noosa and Sunshine Coast hinterland clients.

Mr Tarbey said the company

alluah Property Management

selected candidates who would embrace the ethos and values of the Century 21 brand, as there was nothing more valuable to its network than collective reputation.

“I’m excited to see the results our new franchise owners will achieve with the backing of Century 21’s proven training, technology and global reach of our network,” he said.

The agency’s announcement follows the launch of Century21global.com, a new website which allows people to view every property listed with Century 21 across 74 countries around the world.

Organisers live blown away today NOOSA’S LIFESTYLE GUIDE

By JOLENE OGLE

Get those dancing shoes ready for another instalment of Step Up: All In screening now at bcc Noosa Cinemas.

Step up to a world of drama and excitement

By JONATHON HOWARD ALL your favourite dancers from the previous Step Up films are back on the big screen for Step Up: All In and this is your chance to win a double pass to BCC Noosa Cinemas.

Sean and his crew, the MOB from the previous film, are in Los Angeles trying to make a living off of dancing but every audition they go to they are turned down.

The MOB decides to leave Los Angeles and return to Miami thinking there is nothing left for them.

Sean together with the help of Moose form a crew consisting of all the previous Step Up characters to win a dance battle in Las Vegas, called the Vortex, for a chance of a three-year dancing contract.

Later in the film it is also revealed that Andie's past relationship with Chase has broken up and also Sean and Emily's. It will also focus how Andie and Sean fall in to each other’s arms, even though the pressure of winning the competition and the rivalry of Sean’s former Dance Crew the MOB arise through Sean’s mind.

The Step Up films started in 2006 and has grown from strength to strength with Step Up: All In the fifth instalment to the movie series.

MORE than 40,000 people packed the Weyba Road AFL grounds on Saturday for Noosa’s first major music festival.

The inaugural Originals Music Festival was a sold-out event that saw local and national talent share the stage for the one-day festival, all in the name of fund-raising for the East Coast Originals.

The family-friendly vibe of the Peregian Originals was amplified at the festival with children of all ages dancing alongside teens, adults and grandparents, with no major incidents reported by the police.

The family-friendly festival catered for every age group, with a children’s stage showcasing young performers and ample space to bring along a rug and relax in the sunshine while enjoying the live music.

Event organiser Marcus Plukhahn said he couldn’t be happier with the outcome of the festival.

“It was hard work to put it on and it took two days to clean up, but it’s been worth it,” he said.

“I have received nothing but great feedback from locals and people who came from as far as Cairns to enjoy the good tunes and awesome atmosphere.”

Highlights of the festival included Kingswood’s rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way, which got the crowd singing, and Sticky Fingers’ Australia Street created a wave of people jumping with their arms in the air.

Ash Grunwald’s closing set blew everyone away, while no-one was safe from OKA’s signature beats, which saw a surge in energetic dancing.

OKA lead singer Stu Boga Fergie also took the opportunity to rally the crowd against the controversial Yaroomba high-rise development, calling locals to “stand-up” against the development.

Marcus said he would love to plan another festival for 2015 but said he needed the support of the community.

“We would love to do this all again. We can now better fund the free monthly Originals concerts because of everyone’s support for this festival,” he said.

“But we need to let the council know how great this was for us as a community.”

Marcus is urging locals to provide feedback, good or bad, to the council in the form of an email.

The princess called JERO Asri Kerthyasa, the Princess of Ubud, invited me to come and give a talk about my new book, Bali Heaven and Hell last Saturday morning over “high breakfast”.

Held at the book club that convenes at her Biku Tea House in Petitenget, I was delighted to accept.

But my friend Richard Flax, Bali’s Mr Fixit for the past 30 years, warned: “They throw cupcakes at you there if they don’t like you.

Better pop around here for a few drinks the night before and I’ll wise you up.”

So began a wonderful weekend in Bali. Not a wave was ridden, but much was achieved, including, for the first time since we arrived, a spot of relaxation, starting with sunset drinks at

the Flax compound in Legian.

In 1980 Terry Fitzgerald won the first professional surfing contest ever held in Bali, the Om Bali Pro, and sold me the board on which he won it, a swallow-tail flyer of true pedigree, with a yellow deck and black bottom. I loved the board immediately, but I felt it belonged in Bali, where I was spending a lot of time, so I arranged to leave it at the home of a new friend, a young Englishman who had started his career

as a buyer and valuer at Sotheby’s and was now making a name for himself in Bali organising medivacs for serious surf and motorbike accident victims, of which there were many.

From that time on, when we arrived in Bali, we would rent a place nearby and I would run or cycle down jungle paths and across cow paddocks to Rich and Judy’s humble compound, just behind the Blue Ocean cafe and bar, where clothes were optional, grab my precious Fitzy and go surfing.

That went on for nearly a decade, until the board died of dings and we drifted into different circles in the ‘90s and beyond.

These days the area straddling Legian and Seminyak known as Double Six is one of Bali’s more hideous cases of gross over-development, but the Flaxes, alongside their immediate neighbour, Dr Lawrence Blair (whose Ring of Fire books and BBC television series have turned millions onto the mysteries of the Spice Islands), live in a beautiful oasis of tranquility, where we enjoyed some fine Sicilian reds before scarpering down the road to Hotel Bali Pearl for a very special dinner.

Since discovering Jeremy Blanchet’s sensational garden French restaurant within his parents’ funky boutique guest house, I’ve written about the ambience and quality of food and service in many publications, perhaps even here, I haven’t got my files with me.

It doesn’t matter. Pearl gets even better with every visit. We were seven for a dinner in honour of the birthday of old mate John Sheerin, an esteemed Aussie actor whose voice (Qantas, State Bank, you name it) is even better known than his craggy old head. Sheerin had not only agreed to put a voice-over on our Bali minidocumentary, but to “mule” another box of books up for me, so the least I owed him was a Pearl dinner. Two days later, Sheerin can’t stop raving about the beef carpaccio, the magret du canard and the smell of that fragrant garden.

Saturday morning we jumped in friend Bliss’s Suzuki Splash and motored into town for the Biku bash. I’d been forewarned that there was a lot of interest in the function, but I wasn’t quite prepared for a crowd that spilled over from the allotted tables and took over the whole restaurant.

Biku is another of my favourite eating holes in Bali, and Asri and book club convenor Gill Gunn had done a fantastic job of spreading the word.

Since this was the first time I’d presented

Addressing the Biku crowd. my book about Westerners in Bali, and it was in front of a packed house that included many of the most eminent expat women on the island, I may have started a little nervously, but I could soon tell that these were stories that people wanted to hear.

It helped that old Noosa mates Jennine and Steve Montell were there to keep me grounded.

I signed books for an hour after the event and the book shop in the front of Biku sold out, as have most other book and gift stores around town, which is a promising start.

One of the first to come and chat at the signing table was Majell Hind, the new Australian Consul-General for Bali, fresh from Kabul and enjoying the change of pace, who will be hosting a reception for Australian writers at the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, where my book will be officially launched in a couple of weeks.

And now, as this weekend draws to a close, I’ve come from another wonderful dinner, this time with Mark Keatinge and wife Ketut, at their traditional warung in Sanur.

Mark, who builds Balinese homes for the rich and famous (including Richard Branson) around the world, arrived in Bali 41 years ago skippering a leaky boat with a dubious provenance, alongside deckhand Michael White, who changed his name to Made Wijaya and became a landscape designer and social diarist of note.

Neither of the above like the name of my book, but at least no-one has thrown a cupcake, yet.

Coast gets cooking SINCE his early days as a naked chef creating delicious meals in a rustic country kitchen, Jamie Oliver has worked his way into the hearts and kitchens of many Australians.

Now, Jamie’s Ministry of Food is making its way to the Sunshine Coast, stopping at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) to offer cooking classes for students and community members.

Jamie’s Ministry of Food is an innovative, community-based cooking program built on Jamie’s beliefs about cooking with fresh ingredients and the associated impact on healthy living.

The classes will be delivered by a team of food trainers and will focus on hands-on, basic cooking.

The first round of classes will begin on 25 September and run through until November, with two five-week cooking courses available.

The mobile kitchen will be set up at USC where participants will attend one 90-minute cooking class per week. The first course has already sold out, but the second round opens on 25 September.

USC’s vice-chancellor Professor Greg Hill said the university was delighted to be housing

the Jamie’s Ministry of Food Mobile Kitchen for the next three months.

“This high-profile project will bring many benefits to Sunshine Coast residents and provide invaluable learning experiences for our nutrition students who will work as volunteers to assist with the facilitation of the cooking classes,” he said.

The mobile kitchen is part of a 12-month program across Queensland and has already visited the Queensland University of Technology.

Jamie's Ministry of Food is bringing their mobile kitchen to the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Centre celebrates 20 years of care and contributions THE Noosa RSPCA Care Centre is celebrating its 20th year of rescuing, rehoming and helping animals in the local community.

The lunch will be held at the RACV Noosa Resort and diners will enjoy a two-course meal and birthday cake for just $45, while a video presentation will highlight the progress and development of the centre over the past 20 years.

Time for pork on the fork WITH spring in full swing, Belmondos Organic Market head chef Dmitri Simons shares his recipe for slow roasted cider and pomegranate pork belly with kale slaw and spiced apples.

This dish is perfect as a modern twist on the Sunday roast. Allow about four hours to make this dish and adjust the ingredients to serve the number of guests.

Poached Pork Ingredients: 500g pork belly 1 cup apple cider 1 cup pomegranate juice

· · ·

Note: you may not use all the apple cider and pomegranate juice as you need just enough to cover only the meat and not the skin of the pork.

Method: Put organic free range pork belly into a deep pan, mix together with equal parts apple cider and pomegranate juice and the Hoisin sauce (or to taste). Cover the pork with the liquid so it covers the pork, but not the skin.

Cover the dish and slow roast on 120 degrees for three hours or until you push down on the pork and you can feel it push apart on the bottom.

Remove from the oven, take pork from

Note: It is best to cut the kale very thin and let it sit in the dressing for a couple of hours as it replicates the kale massaging and changes the flavour and colour of the kale.

Time to move on thyroids FOR those who are feeling tired and sluggish or who are having trouble shifting weight, local naturopath Deb Roberson, who specialises in hormonal and thyroid imbalances, shares her tip on how to feel better and get rid of that brain fog.

“A large number of people suffer from thyroid problems,” she said.

“However, a lot go undiagnosed.

Hypothyroidism, also known as an underactive thyroid, can occur in men and women at any age.

“It is through this that menopausal women are most commonly affected.

“The condition has a wide variety of symptoms that reveal themselves slowly and subtly.

“These symptoms can be ambiguous and often mistaken for ‘just getting older’ or part of menopause.

“The most common symp-

tom that will prompt people to think their thyroid is sluggish is when they are gaining weight, yet not doing anything differently.

“No matter what they do, they are unable to get their weight under control.

“Feeling tired all the time, being sensitive to the cold, constipation, brain fog and feeling emotionally flat could all be signs that your thyroid is not functioning as well as it could be.

“It can be frustrating when people are tested but told their thyroid function is ‘normal’ however, they continue to have numerous symptoms to suggest otherwise.

“There are specific high potency nutritional and herbal medicines that could be of benefit to boost your metabolism and assist with these symptoms.”

BEAUTICIAN

Feeling sluggish? It might be time to have your thyroid checked.

WEIGHT loss is not just about willpower, healthy eating and exercise, according to local naturopath Yolanda Falivene.

Yolanda said she often sees people who are inadvertently eating a combination of foods, often healthy foods, which slow down their metabolism by upsetting the delicate hormone balance of their body.

“Symptoms of an unbalanced diet can include midriff fat, low energy, bloating, cravings, mood swings, hot flushes, difficulty sleeping and poor concentration,” she said.

Yolanda, who has a special interest in helping people

with hormone imbalances and weight issues, said hormonal balance can be restored when the correct food is consumed.

“Your metabolism improves, cravings disappear, energy lifts and fat is burned,” she said.

“Another benefit is that only fat, not muscle, is lost so that your weight won’t rebound when you finish.

What’s more, your digestion improves, memory sharpens and your skin looks younger.”

Other conditions such as an underactive thyroid, menopause, Syndrome X or insulin resistance and diabetes, which

can all be attributed to hormonal imbalances, can also contribute to the building up of fat stores in the body and are influenced by the type of foods people eat, Yolanda said.

“Liver dysfunction impairs fat and carbohydrate metabolism and food intolerances can cause bloating or fluid retention,” she said.

“With regular monitoring, I will give you the support and motivation you may need to stay on track - you can succeed in your goals to lose weight and keep it off.”

Get moving to longer life HOW many years are most people adding to their lives each week?

According to You First person trainer Tyrone Saul, research shows a direct link between physical activity and an increased life expectancy.

Tyrone said data collected by the American Journal of Preventative Medicine suggests an individual’s life expectancy can be impacted by staying moderately active through adult years, with an expected increase of five and a half years.

The study also found that reductions of up to 35 per cent in many major mortality risk factors including arterial hypertension, type two diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and cancer.

“In addition to that, the Australia Heart Foundation provides strong support that regular physical activity has a protective effect against life expectancy risk factors such as hypertension and heart disease,” he said.

Tyrone said it is interesting to note that physical activity has also been linked to helping to improve mental health, community life, social wellbeing and community safety.

“These are interesting findings.

“If the correlation between physical activity and life expectancy research mentioned above is accurate,

then we as individuals can add more productive, healthy years to our life simply by partaking in more movement per week, giving us more time doing the things we enjoy in life,” he said.

“How many years are you adding to your life each week?”

WITH a revamped streetscape and a plethora of community events, The Junction is fast becoming the entertainment hub of Noosa Shire.

Located on the main esplanade, Sunshine Beach Road, The Junction is more than just a street when it comes to life with pantomimes for the children, food and wine festivals for the adults and great family fun all year round, all in a beautiful streetscape setting.

Completed in November 2012, the Sunshine Coast Council’s streetscape program turned the street into a cultural and artistic environment with public art works throughout.

The new clock, located outside the cinemas, is fast becoming the talk of the town with its “steam punk” theme and growling monster who pops out on the hour.

Designed by artist Russell Anderson, in conjunction with primary school students, the clock is a shiny new addition to the leafy street.

New light-up banksia pods, designed by Lucas Salton, are also artistic additions that feature on four pedestrian crossings down the street.

Pirates jolly Rogers THE Under-13C Noosa Blue played Kawana White in the grand final at Stanley Rivers in what was a hard fought match, with the Pirates never giving up.

It was a strong first half with Chase McChesney scoring two tries, and at half time Kawana were in front 18-10.

In the second half, Kawana proved to be too good, bringing the final score to 36-20.

Toby Burton and Noah Clist crossed the line with two brilliant tries.

Noosa never gave up, going toe-to-toe throughout the game. Player of the match went to Mitchell Madin whose tackling was relentless - the best he’s ever played.

Manager Sandy Rogers said she was proud of the boys.

“You boys can hold your heads high, making it to the grand final in an undefeated season, only losing two games in the finals,” she said “It’s been a fantastic season and you all have improved your game since the start of the season… looking forward to seeing you play next season.

“Looking forward to seeing you all next year!”

Fishing treat sensational

Pirates building strong relationship THE sun may have just set on the 2014 season but the Noosa Pirates is already looking forward to the 2015 season.

The announcement of a renewed $3000 sponsorship from the Tewantin Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank certainly helps with motivation.

The announcement was made at the Pirates’ presentation night last Saturday and club president Nick Webster said the sponsorship will help with planning for the coming season.

“It makes our planning so much easier and we continue to see this sponsorship as a great fit for the Pirates and for Bendigo Bank,” he said.

Nick said the club has enjoyed a great relationship with Bendigo Bank over the years, which has helped the club improve facilities such as the clubhouse patio.

Women… and hear them roar Zoe Farrington with a 60cm jewie caught and released on the troll. ing well, with both snapper and sweetlip getting caught in good numbers. Soft plastics really come into their own in this shallow water, and almost nothing beats a 5” Zman JerkshadZ in the Nuked Chicken colour! Out further, the outer edge of Sunshine and out towards Chardons reef, the bigger reef fish have started to come out to play. Snapper, pearlies, big sweetlip, coral trout and maori cod are just some of the tasty critters that have been inhabiting these areas. When fishing this deeper water, octo-jigs 1154255-EG38-14

Serving up at 91

are well worth a shot, with their seductive action often tempting the bigger fish from the school to come over and have a look.

Pelagics wise, just outside the Noosa Bar has been holding some great tuna which even smaller vessels have been having fun chasing. Mixed in with these tuna are nice-sized school mackerel (or schoolies) which also make for great chewing.

On behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures.

WOMEN’S SOCCER AFTER a very successful season, the Noosa Lions women’s team have added to their Minor Premiers title by winning the grand final on Friday night against a very competitive Cooroora team.

Scores were locked at 1-1 at half time after Noosa striker Ursula Hughson netted a good strike late in the half. Cooroora replied quickly with an excellent shot from outside the area.

Hughson found the back of the net again for Noosa early in the second half then was brought down in the box and slotted the penalty away easily. Both sides brought a great defense to the game with both goal keepers making scoring difficult. The final score 3-1.

Noosa have been the team to beat all year after going undefeated for the entire season bar the first game. Along with the league champion trophy Hughson was awarded the league’s highest goal scorer trophy with a massive 51 goals for the season.

THE fishing over the past week has been nothing short of sensational, with both the Noosa River and offshore scene doing well. Starting at the mouth of the river, school jewfish have been a good option for those wanting to get up early and have a fish. Soft plastics are by far the best way to chase these elusive fish, and small offerings like Zman StreakZ in the 3.75” size work an absolute treat. Further upriver, the Woods Bays are both holding some nice tailor and trevally action, with surface poppers proving extremely effective. Further still, flathead are in good numbers around the Tewantin Ski Runs, and trolling deep diving lures like the 90mm Maria Jerkbaits will give you a great chance of tangling with a lizard or two.

The offshore scene is set to fire in the coming weeks, with both reefies and pelagics starting to come on the chew. Close in, jew shoal, halls and the inner edge of Sunshine reef are really fish-

Spring Four-Person Challenge Round 4: Piranhas (A. Munro, M. Clarke, S. Campbell, J. Mikkelson) 10 d Mantis (B. Brown, O. Estraviz, L. Gore, W. Byrne) 5.

The score line defies the close battle here with eight rubbers going to five sets.

The Mantis unfortunately is languishing on the bottom and will watch the finals from the sidelines.

Gators (R. Gore, J. Murphy, B. Muller, R. Yao) 9 d Barracudas (R. Wheller, J. Brown, J. Campbell, S. Lidden) 6.

Finally the top team were beaten via a comprehensive white wash in the doubles.

The individual front-runners Jordan and John eyed each other off in a vital showdown with Jordan victorious and now narrowly sits alone on top with one week to go in the qualifying rounds.

Marlins (S. Ciercan, S. Gardner, P. Clive, R. Byrne) 8 d Raptors (K. McDonald, C. Barry, C. Galea, M. Duncan) 7.

Another surprise win by virtue of supremacy in the doubles, completing a week highlighted by upsets leaving us questioning who will win this season?

COOLUM TENNIS ONCE again, Patron’s Day was a perfect day of excellent tennis at Coolum.

Patron’s Day is an early celebration of Laurie Bruhl’s birthday and this year Laurie turns 91 but he still plays one or two sets most Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The club had 24 players trying to accumulate enough points to win the Laurie Bruhl trophy. Games were played for five periods of 25 minutes with short breaks in between and scores recorded. The winners this year were Henry Plint and Cherie Lau. Unfortunately, this year, there were no juniors entered.

Laurie also donates two fruit trays to raffle and they were won by Annette Adsett and Leon Nguyen. Not only players, but other visitors wished Laurie well. Both Adam Spence and Andrew Ash came, as well as Brad Mulrooney, Lloyd and Jim Cole.

Join us for a truly wonderful lunch celebrating 20 years of the Noosa RSPCA Animal Care Centre.

Tigers go down fighting THE premiership just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant to be for the Noosa Tigers going down to the undefeated Mayne on the weekend.

It was an impressive fight from the Tigers who roared into action only to lose their momentum in the third quarter.

Despite the narrow loss, the team put in their full effort throughout the season and certainly have a lot to be proud of.

Noosa Today/Airlie Beach Hotel Player Of The Year

JULIAN PITTS

Congratulations to David Welch on winning the Noosa Today/Airlie Beach Hotel player of the year award!

David has won 5 nights for 2 people at the Airlie Beach Hotel in the fabulous Whitsundays

In an enthralling AFL north grand final at the very impressive Moreton Bay sports ground last Saturday, the Fiona Winter/PJ Burns Noosa Tigers were over ran in the final quarter to go down by 33 points.

The Noosa side led by five points at the final change having their supporters excited about the possibility of creating the biggest upset of the year on the biggest stage.

However, it wasn’t to be as the fresher looking Premiers and champions simply just over ran the Tigers who had given everything.

In fact missed opportunities in front of goal probably cost the Tigers a more substantial lead at both the main break and at three

quarter time.

Their hardness at the footy and tackling was just outstanding over the first three quarters. As was some of the defensive efforts of Riley Buntain, whose spoiling, marking and attacking and rebounding were a treat to watch throughout the first three quarters.

He was ably supported by vicecaptain and newly crowned 2014 best and fairest and Noosa Today/ Airlie Beach Hotel award winner David ‘Woosha’ Welch, who’s high-marking under pressure stopped many a Mayne onslaught.

Once again Garry Wallace proved why he loves the big games, gathering plenty of the footy on the last line of defence while Jack Hendrie was also solid across half back. Captain Peter Trompf had an eye catching duel with a much taller opponent however, Trompfs attack on the footy and relentless pressure is exactly what the Tiger faithful have come to expect.

Shane ‘Dogga’ Davis was superb in the opening quarter and kept flashing in with gun like cameo the entire afternoon.

Tommy McKittrick did a wonderful job on Mayne’s coach and key ball winner for three quarters.

Champion rover, Cubby Isles shook off a rusty start to gather plenty of the pill and keep running till the finish. Up forward it was Coach James Gellie who was simply outstanding using his footy smarts and strength to take some brilliant contested marks and put the Tigers in with a massive chance to cause an upset.

Brett Duke and Nath Winter were busy and created havoc at certain times of the afternoon also, especially in the first three quarters.

Unfortunately for Noosa, the final quarter was all Maynes.

Their on-ballers started to run more and get their hands on the

footy, (number 48 -who was he?) was dominating everything across centre half forward and their gun full forward Faulkner and medal winner really started to showcase his class booting four for the quarter.

Hats off to Mayne as premiers and champions is an amazing feat in any competition and something our young Tigers can strive toward in the future.

Speaking of youngsters, well done to teenagers Jai Fitzpatrick and Jesse Malthouse who acquitted themselves beautifully in their first senior grand final last weekend.

I’m sure there is more to come boys. My best for the day were in order Welch, Gellie, Wallace, Trompf, Davis, McKittrick and Buntain and a massive congrats to Senior coach James Gellie and his support staff for the terrific job they have done in season 2014.

Well done boys, you have been a pleasure to watch and support.

Cheers, Pittsy

Tight tussle in French, Clarke overall winners junior touch ditch encounters

By ANITA ANDERSON KEEPING IN TOUCH BRIGHT sunshine and mosquitoes were in plentiful supply as Noosa Junior Touch took to the fields again this week. Average Joe’s and GSLC (boys) had a tight tussle with Average Joe’s ahead by a couple of touchdowns on the bell.

Tristan, Rueben and Scott played strongly. Sunshine Rebels proved too strong for GSLC (girls). Putting in huge efforts during the game were India, Tyla and Tahli. Inferno accounted for NDSHS 8s with Mikaela, Denyta and Eden playing well. In the matchup between STCC Pansies and NDSHS 8s (mixed), the Pansies came away with the win. Jack, John and Kate produced first-rate games.

The final U14/16 game of the day saw NDSHS 9s take on SBSHS. With the score line deadlocked at the siren, the points will be shared this week. Sharlene, JerryLee and Bronte led the way for their respective teams.

In the U12 division Devils came out on top in a close encounter with the Banana Split girls. Ariel, Hannah, Lily and Abbi had outstanding games. Purple Storm never stopped trying against the Saints with Tenay, Leo, Levi and Jaycey putting in mighty efforts. In another drawn result That Cool Team and GSLC put on a great display of touch footy. C-Jai, Samantha and Emma gave stellar performances.

A change of name to one of our U10 teams to the Mexican Amigos saw them back on the winners list this week over the Purple Panthers. Although the Purple Panther girls made a mid game comeback, the boys ran in a couple of late tries to seal the win. Maddie, Dan and Summer played well. Screaming Iguanas had a hard fought win over GSLC (boys) with just one touchdown being the difference in the final score.

Ethan, Josh, Riley and Cohen had strong games. In a high scoring match, Blazers finished on top over the Pink Storm with Nico, Bailey, Parker and Evie showing great skill.

Recently Noosa Touch had 11 players represent Sunshine Coast at the Junior State Championships held at the Gold Coast.

Congratulations to Caitlin Wark, Luke Robinson, Ali Bakhach, Amelia Jayaraj, Danielle Sealey, Giverny Robinson, Taj Bakhach, Lucy White, Lily Canavan, Jaidyn Jayaraj and Jack Herriman for your outstanding performances at such a high level of our game.

Jaidyn and Jack playing for the U12 boys made it all the way through to the grand final, well done boys. Lucy White playing in the U12 girls had a marvellous carnival and has been selected in the Queensland U12 Merit team, a magnificent achievement.

Until the next touchdown...

Lucy White has been selected in the U12 Girls Queensland Merit Team.

Dolphins pip University

By JONATHON HOWARD IT MAY have taken three years and a lot of pain and heartache, but the Noosa Dolphins have smashed through to claim a narrow win over University at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Saturday 13 September.

The Dolphins held on throughout the close match and managed a 10-9 triumph to secure the SGQ Cup Premiership for only the second time in seven years.

The Dolphins A-grade side has been considered a coastal powerhouse having won the competition 15 times in the club’s history.

It was University up 6-0 early on after University winger Daniel Nethery converted a crucial field goal.

Despite an early fumble by Noosa centre Dave Harrold, who missed a

penalty attempt, he regained composure and had reduced the margin to three before half time.

The intensity built after University’s Daniel Gibson dropped a high ball from Noosa and winger Nathaniel Forrest who was open for the try line but was pulled up for a knock on.

Nethery returned with a successful penalty kick to put University in a 9-3 half-time lead.

The pressure was mounting for Noosa, who crossed after half-time but was pulled back by the ref for a forward pass.

Minutes later Dolphins’ Keith Strajner crossed the line and a successful conversion gave Noosa a 10-9 lead.

The remainder of the game was a battle for the Dolphins to hold on, before the final siren sounded and Noosa emerged victors.

In reserve grade, Noosa Maroon defeated Noosa White 15-13.

Noosa Maroon finished the regular season as minor premier, with 10 wins and two losses.

The two sides had met in a major semi-final a fortnight earlier with Maroon winning that one 14-8.

Noosa Councillor Joe Jurisevic watched all the action from the sideline and said the Dolphins performed well across the board.

“All up, the Dolphins contested seven of the eight grand finals being played and won five,” Cr Jurisevic said.

“Quite a feat for any club. The senior club was also awarded the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union Club Championship with senior teams finishing first in 1st grade and 1st and 2nd in reserve grade.”

Dolphins' Stu Nolan breaks from the pack.

No deaths between flags Between the

flags RON LANE

THIS Saturday 20 September at 7am patrol season for our surf lifesaving clubs will once again get underway. Our three local clubs Peregian, Sunshine Beach and Noosa Heads will strive to uphold their proud record of no lives lost between the flags while lifesavers on patrol.

For our club mates at Peregian, last season definitely had its ups and downs. Peregian has, at the moment, only seven patrols on roster so because of their shortage of members Noosa will this season work in conjunction by bringing Peregian in as part of their patrolling system. During winter, meetings have been held between the two clubs. Also Redcliffe and Brisbane clubs have offered their services as backups.

Apart from their normal patrols, Noosa will also have on call their long-service members.

This ensures that all requirements for the patrols during different seasons will be covered.

Also Noosa will do any upgrading of patrol equipment that is deemed necessary. On the administration side, Peregian will have three directors working with

Noosa; one each for the senior club the Nippers and lifesaving.

Regarding this, Noosa Club captain Joe Cirillo said, “This is good for lifesaving. It makes people aware that as lifesavers we all wear the Red and Yellow uniform and therefore we will always work together. From a more personal perspective by patrolling Peregian, our young members will be on a learning curve. They will be patrolling and learning on an open beach and this is the best experience they can possibly get.

Also, we want to ensure that the Nipper Club keeps going. This is a great example of how our two clubs can work together.” These concepts will be subject to formal approval by Noosa members at a meeting to be held this Sunday.

With regard to the Peregian Supporter Club which is the business arm of the club, it will be subject to a detailed investigation by the two clubs.

Last Saturday was the second session of the Noosa Seahorse Nippers. Once again, it was a great success with 43 children in attendance and 60 carers to ensure all went well. One of the major contributions towards the success was the outstanding support given by the Noosa Shire Council. Being able to use the car park next to the surf club was great. Allied to this was the fact

that the general public, on driving into the car park were very co-operative when the attendants explained the reason for the part closure. Several parents thanked the Seahorse officials and the parking attendants for the help they received. Kelly Enever a lady who arrived with two small children, Briley and Emerson, plus a Smart Pup named Sally, said, “It makes it so much easier with this arrangement in particular for families like us. Also for families with children in wheelchairs, it is just fantastic.”

The thankless job of parking attendants which was carried out by Noosa Life Savers Peter Williams, John Little and Robbie Carrett was well performed.

This job starts at 5am and goes through to11am. Many of the parents went out of their way to acknowledge these three men.

“I hope the people appreciate what the council does by donating the car park. If it was not for this, some families would have to walk a long way. Also some have driven from out of town to get their children here,” Little said.

The involvement of the Enever family and the presence of Sally has made a lot of people more aware of the life these children lead and the problems in everyday life. So to our council and support groups many thanks.
