CHAP roundtable By Margaret Maccoll
12497020-DL22-21
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart instigated a stakeholder roundtable discussion this week “to find a set of suitable solutions for Noosa’s Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan (CHAP)”. “It’s important that we listen to the views of all stakeholders as well as provide detailed information on the overarching reasons for such a plan,” Cr Stewart said. The meeting comes almost three months after the Eastern Beaches Protection Association (EBPA) say they have waited for answers to questions about a “secret pre-emptive letter to the State asking for unjustified adverse planning restrictions before consultation had even occurred”. Peregian Family and Friends said they were disappointed by the information discovered by EBPA through a Right to Information (RTI) request. “On 29th July last year, Noosa Council staff covertly told the State Government it planned to amend the town planning scheme via reference to the draft Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan (CHAP) - nearly six months prior to the community consultation process began,” Peregian Family and Friends vice-president Leigh McCready said. “The community expects and deserves transparency from its council,” she said. Council has invited to the roundtable delegates from seven groups: Hastings St Association, Eastern Beaches Protection Association, Eastern Beaches Bushcare Collaborative, Noosa North Shore Residents Association, Noosaville Business Association, Peregian Family and Friends Association, Peregian Beach Community Association. EBPA spokeswoman Minna Knight said their group had accepted council’s invitation to the meetings and would put forward “workable fixes based on science, actual risk probability and the lessons of CHAP in other Queensland coastal council areas”. Those include ensuring the CHAP focuses more on practical beach and waterway erosion control and inundation management, invests in scientifically robust monitoring of areas like dunes to better quantify dune movement, puts more resources into community and volunteer dune and waterway vegetation and management and removes unjustified and costly prescriptions harming homes based on rare risks admitted by the model of “less than 1 per cent” in 50 to 80 years’ time. “We have been working constructively with local decision makers in our effort to promote practical solutions to the serious problems of the current draft CHAP, including the Mayor, Councillors, State MP Sandy Bolton and Federal Member Llew O’Brien,” Ms Knight said.

Commonwealth Bank has again pledged to donate $500,000 nationally, to recognise those organisations that make a difference to the communities in which they operate. Each Commonwealth Bank branch and customer-facing team has been allocated $500 to donate to causes important to their local community. Commonwealth Bank’s Noosa and Tewantin branch teams voted to support the great work of these local organisations. “Many communities across Australia face
ongoing challenges as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, so it’s important for us to give back to local organisations who continue to do good work within our community. We are pleased to support these amazing local groups,” Wayne Carroll, Commonwealth Bank Noosa Branch Manager said. “Both of these local organisation are doing amazing things. Meals on Wheels are delivering meals to locals in need and the Hoofbeats Sanctuary runs programs with horses and ponies to support people of all ages who have been impacted by trauma, neglect or abuse. It’s great to be able to support them in this great work.”

The editor’s desk This week the Queensland Government brought in new laws making it easier for renters to have pets, ending evictions without grounds and introducing minimum standards for rentals for safety, security and functionality. If a tenant wants to keep a pet a lessor must have reasonable grounds to refuse, such as safety or breaching bylaws. The new laws also provide for someone under threat of domestic violence to end their lease with seven days notice if they feel it unsafe to live there. The government says the new laws are balanced in protecting the rights of renters and lessors. Some community groups say they don’t go far enough in protecting battling renters from unfair evictions. They say renters are often reluctant to complain for fear of eviction or the ending of their lease. In Noosa where the rising costs of rentals is forcing people to move away will these laws make much difference? Does it mean holiday rentals will have to be more accepting of pets? Is this something to add to the short-term accommodation debate? This week there has been a focus on council with plenty happening including the budget. As the Olympics nears we wish our Olympic entrant Kareena Lee well as she moves closer to her event in Tokyo.

Riding a wave of change By Phil Jarratt The Noosa Council-led roundtable on safe surfing is getting closer to reaching consensus between all surfing stakeholders on a twotiered code of conduct to be marketed through the entire community. The ambitious program, established by council and the Noosa World Surfing Reserve four months ago, looked a bit like mission impossible when it set out to unite competing factions within the surfing community in an effort to promote safer surfing and better etiquette in the waves. But, somewhat surprisingly after a summer of increasing tensions over crowd control issues, in the course of four meetings so far, friction has given way to common ground and a shared belief that the surfing community can self-manage the problems of Noosa’s world class surf breaks being “loved to death”. “The key message so far,” said roundtable chair and Noosa Council CEO Brett de Chastel at the conclusion of last week’s meeting, “is that all the surfing interest groups have come together on this, recognising that they need a united front to achieve the right outcomes and make Noosa a safer and more inclusive surfing environment.” The wide-ranging group includes representatives from council as well as the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, Noosa Heads Surf Club, Noosa Malibu Club, Noosa Boardriders, the kitesurfing, foil-surfing and stand up paddle surfing communities, Maritime Safety Queensland and the local surf industry. Together they have formulated a two-tiered structure of surf codes designed to foster safe practices in the water and mutual respect between all of the surfing disciplines. “That has been the key,” Brett de Chastel said. “Everyone shares the same focus on the importance of respect.” The over-arching code, built along the lines of Surf Code, the educational program created by Noosa World Surfing Reserve, will focus on creating a culture based on the spirit of surfing, recognising that we are all visitors on traditional land and water, using ambassadors to promote good etiquette and behav-

Under the system, a family of ambassadors will be appointed representing all of the groups, and marketed as influencers to the broad surfing population. In the water, their message will be simple and subtle: “Welcome, this is the way we do things around here”. In advertising and promotion, the message from champions and identities in every discipline, from ocean swim-

While different user groups, notably kitesurfing, have successfully used a code of conduct to create changes of behaviour for a decade or more, the Noosa initiative is thought to be the first time in Australia that all surfers in a community have come together to push for cultural change. The reason for that is simple: very few surfing communities have experienced the rising and relentless tide of overcrowding like we have. What used to happen at
Christmas, Easter and major swell events, now happens year-round, bringing with it frayed tempers as surfers face tension in the water as they compete for every wave. The end result is that surfing in some of the world’s finest waves becomes less safe and less fun. The Safe Surfing Roundtable still has a long way to go, but under council’s guidance, the foundations have been built, and the group plans to launch its conduct campaign by spring.
Emergency services quick save for Bakers A-light By Margaret Maccoll So quick was the action of staff and emergency services Bakers Delight at Noosa Junction plan to reopen this Friday after a fire in their oven last Sunday morning shut down the shop, but could have been so much worse. Store owner Aaron Jacques said bakers Cody and Stewart were working in the store about 1.30am when an electrical fault in the oven started the fire. “It went up quite quick. The boys tried to put it out with fire extinguishes but it was past that,” he said. “It was quite horrible. The smoke was billowing outside in the street.
“I got here within about five minutes. I live quite close,” Aaron said. “I ran into the bakery and had to run out and have a vomit. “The firies and police were here straight away. They went in with CO2 extinguishes and put it out in 10 seconds.” Aaron said he had to thank the firefighters and police. He said they were lucky the damage was contained to the oven and there was just cleaning up to do, which staff had completed by Monday lunch time. The store is waiting for a replacement oven to arrive from Melbourne and expect to be back in business Friday morning. Aaron said their loyal customers had been amazing.
“All our regulars and locals turned up (Sunday morning) not knowing we had a fire. Locals came back with gloves trying to help out,” he said. The bakery has been operated at Noosa Junction for the past 19 years in a partnership between two families, the Jacques and Stephen and Michelle Tindal. Aaron said the families had all lived in Noosa since 1979. On Monday morning Bakers Delight Sunshine Coast support officer Gavin Lucas was at the store helping the store owners file their insurance claims and return to business. “We’re just trying to get it open as quickly as possible,” he said.

Wendy Machin with husband Greg Barber on their travels.
Peregian Beach College has paid tribute to much-loved teacher and librarian Wendy Machin after her recent passing.
Wendy Machin, who died suddenly and unexpectedly after a short illness, is being remembered by the community for her kind heart.
Wendy’s sad goodbye By Abbey Cannan
Wendy Machin’s husband Greg Barber said being married to her made him a better man. “A lot of those kids we taught are now adults. The investment she made in them has sealed dividends.“Four of the nurses that cared for her in her last days were former students of hers. “Greg said Wendy’s unexpected death on January 25 crashed into plans for their eldest daughter, Simone’s wedding, and the birth of a daughter for their son Ross. “Doctors feared for the well being of the
baby, but the happy ending is that the bub was born the day after Wendy’s funeral healthy and whole. The wedding went to plan and was beautiful,“ Greg said. A Peregian Beach College senior student said Wendy was the wisest teacher they knew. “I think that in her own way she was able to show us how important we all were to her,“ she said. “She was an extraordinary teacher with a
strong passion to see her students succeed. “It is once in a lifetime that you get to meet such an amazing teacher like her. I will forever cherish every piece of advice that she’s given me.” Greg said he would like Wendy to be remembered for her kind heart. “She would spend every day being kind to people. Kindness was key to her.” 12500771-AV26-21
The Noosa community has paid tribute to a much loved teacher who died suddenly and unexpectedly after a short illness. There was an outpouring of emotion from Wendy Machin’s former students, colleagues, and family at Peregian Beach College on Friday, displaying the magical mark she left in everyone that knew her. Wendy’s husband Greg Barber said being married to her made him a better man. “She was a woman who sought to bring out the best in herself and everybody else,” he said. “She was an intrepid traveller, making lasting friendships around the world.“We used to call her general manager of the universe because she was just super organised. She wasn’t straight though, she was mischievous and adventurous. “She would hike anywhere and jump off cliffs into the sea. She was brave and courageous.” An original mosaic artwork was unveiled in her honour at a memorial ceremony in the school’s library. “The mural ticks three boxes,” Greg said. “Wendy loved mosaics, she loved the artist who created it, and she loved the library where it’s going to be.“ Mosaic artist and colleague Heather May said Wendy always approached life with meticulous precision. “Her attention to detail was stratospheric. She was an amazing role model,“ Heather said. “What has come apparent to me over the months since Wendy’s death is how her influence in my life continues to make me strive to be a better artist, and a better person. “Wendy was well respected in the Noosa community having been a foundation teacher at Sunshine Beach High School in 1993. “We must have taught thousands of kids at Sunshine Beach in the decade that she was there and I’ve been a teacher there for 26 years now,“ Greg said.

Partnership extended The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) has had a new four-year partnership agreement with Noosa Council unanimously approved. The partnership agreement, though different in name, is not in meaning and replaces the previous Funding Deed which was due to expire on 30 June. However there are a number of differences in the new partnership. The term is for four years instead of three which council says better fits the local government political cycle, giving the next elected government time to evaluate the organisation before making a decision on the next agreement. For the past three years council has funded NBRF for ’operational expenses’ at a cost of $140,000, $120,000 and $100,000 per annum respectively. At Council’s Ordinary Meeting last week Mayor Clare Stewart said the new agreement was not a funding agreement. Funding could only be allocated through the budget process, not as part of the partnership. Though operational expenses will continue to be allocated following the submission by NBRF of an annual ’operational plan’ outlining operational expenses, and the definition of ’operational expenses’ has been broadened to include funding for scoping studies or research support as long as it is included in the operational plan. Under an additional clause Council may elect on a commercial fee for service basis to arrange for NBRF to undertake studies or projects relevant to council’s role in the management of the Biosphere. NBRF will be required to provide sixmonthly reports and an annual report outlining funded projects. It’s a partnership not a legally binding document. Council is in no way liable for NBRF, Cr Stewart said. “It’s a good way forward. It shows the maturity between Council and NBRF,“ she said. Cr Stewart strongly requested NBRF seek more female representation on its board which currently has eight directors, all male, and asked NBRF place its internal governance policies on its website. NBRF chair Rex Halverson said the partnership provided certainty and continuity for the future. It renews the long-standing relationship and recognised the value of the NBRF in progressing the aims of Noosa’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status, he said.“I thank the Noosa Councillors and staff, as well as the Noosa community for their ongoing encouragement and support. This partnership agreement provides us confidence to continue to move forward with our medium to long-term projects and goals with assurance we can deliver high value outcomes for the Noosa Shire,” said Mr Halverson. “I’m really excited about the continuing evolution of the NBRF,” Council’s representative on the NBRF board Cr Tom Wegener said. Mr Halverson explained biosphere reserves
Noosa were regions of excellence where communities work together to find innovative solutions to sustainable human development. “We believe Noosa is becoming a leading example of a community doing just so,” he said. “Just last month we signed an MoU with University of the Sunshine Coast and we’re already working on developing two multi-year PhD projects with more to come. “We’re also working on innovative research to provide new data on Glossy Black-Cockatoo nesting sites that will inform future local conservation efforts. “We have been increasing our community engagement through our collaborative stakeholder symposiums, newsletters, fundraising gala and community event participation. We
recently established an Advisory Panel to the Board with our first female advisor in place and are actively seeking additional diversity and voices. And excitingly, we are about to launch a new Noosa Biosphere Awards program recognising sustainability excellence within our community.“ Executive coordinator Sharon Wright said the signing of the partnership agreement highlighted a pivotal shift in a positive new direction for NBRF. “We are committed to ensuring the Noosa Biosphere remains a ‘celebration of community and environment’ and will continue to work closely with the Noosa community, our partners and supporters to build on these relationships,” she said.
The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) is a not-for-profit organisation established by the Noosa Shire Council in 2015 to support projects and ideas that align with the aims of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere (MAB) Program. NBRF is managed by an independent board of volunteers with council entitled to one representative on the board, and it is a registered charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. In 2007, the Noosa Shire was designated as the Noosa Biosphere Reserve under the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Program. It encompasses the Noosa Shire local government area and three kilometres offshore.For more visit www.noosabiosphere.org.au.

Best of luck to Kareena By Margaret Maccoll Olympians Dawn Fraser and Benny Pike were centre stage at Noosa Surf Club last Sunday to farewell Olympic hopeful Kareena Lee who will compete in the 10km ocean swim at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Benny told guests at the event he was very proud to have been the first Noosa boy to enter the Olympics where he competed in the light heavyweight event at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. At the time his mum and dad owned Noosa’s beach house guest house which later became Annabelle’s Restaurant. I went to Toowoomba Grammar. In my school days I was in a fight every day, never won one, he said. Benny came back to Noosa and joined the Black Swan boxing group, which has had four entrants in the Olympics including Benny. “The Olympic Games isn’t rugby league. It’s not AFL. It’s about the battler,” he said. Benny told the crowd the Sunshine Coast was well represented at the Olympics with Kareena Lee bringing the tally to 10. Legendary swim coach John ’JR’ Rodgers joined Benny on stage to talk about his local swimmers Kareena and Nick Sloman who narrowly missed selection for the men’s 10km ocean swim at a qualifying race in Portugal on Monday. “It’s been a long journey. We’ve run many laps up and down the beach,” John said. John praised Kareena’s dedication, saying in training she was always the first one in the water and the last one to leave. “I feel she’s earnt everything she’s going to do,” he said. John will not be going to the Olympics with Kareena but will accompany her to Darwin for a week-long training camp prior to the games. Dawn Fraser, the first female swimmer to

Having just returned from the Olympic swimming trials in Adelaide Dawn said it was wonderful to see the swimmers, both able bodied and paras, getting through the pandemic to go to the games a year later than expected. “It has been a hard time,” she said. Dawn told Kareena one of the best things in life was getting the blazer and representing your country. “It never leaves you that feeling.
It’s fantastic,” she said. Kareena said it meant everything to her to make the team and when she got the blazer it would feel real. “It’ll be a dream come true to come home with a medal,” Kareena said. “To come home with gold would be everything.” Kareena will be in Noosa for a month training at the University of the Sunshine Coast heated pool which at 31 degree Celsius will be similar to conditions in Tokyo. She will spend a week training in Darwin to acclimatise to Tokyo conditions then because
of COVID restrictions it will be a quick trip to Tokyo to compete in her 10km ocean swim event and leave. “I have to leave within 48 hours,” she said. Dawn said all competitors had to be COVID tested before boarding the plane, in Tokyo, in the village and wear a mask 24 hours a day apart from being in the water and eating. “They’re all prepared to do that,” she said. “I know we can adapt to that,” Kareena said. “We’ve been waiting for this for an extra year.” “We wish you all the best. Have a good 10km swim. Best of luck girl,” Dawn said.

St Lukes farewelled.

St Lukes opened in 1926.
NEWS
Picture: NOOSA SHIRE MUSEUM
Kin Kin’s last service By Nick Thompson Father Kevin Lewis described it as “a melancholy day for all of us.” After 95 years of service, St Luke’s Anglican Church in Kin Kin has been officially de-consecrated and is now an historic country building rather than a formal place of worship. One of the oldest churches in Noosa Shire, St Luke’s opened on November 19, 1926 with a dedication ceremony conducted by the Archbishop of Brisbane, Dr Gerald Sharp. That service was attended by what the Brisbane Courier reported as “a remarkable gathering of over 300 persons, representatives of all creeds being in attendance.” Last Saturday’s formal service of thanksgiving and closure was attended by barely two dozen parishioners and officials - a reflection of the changes in society. Bishop Jeremy Greaves, who conducted the 2021 service said it shared elements of a
funeral with people saying goodbye and recalling their memories of the place and its past. As Bishop of the Northern Region of the Brisbane Diocese, he has had to conduct five similar closures in the past five years, each time with a heavy heart. The decision to close St Luke’s, which suffered extensive storm damage requiring major repairs as recently as 1985, had been especially painful. It became apparent during discussions that today’s parishioners were scared they might be letting down all those who had worked to fundraise, build, maintain and care for the church during its life. But times, he admitted, have changed. While St Luke’s was a church that met the needs of the community when it was built, more than 70 per cent of Australians now say that religion is not personally important to them.
Bishop Jeremy urged the congregation to look to the future and face the challenges. “We need to be a church that listens to this new world in which we find ourselves,” he said. After the formal ceremony, the congregation and church officials gathered for a re-creation of the photo taken on the church steps when it was dedicated in November 1926. Two contrasts became immediately apparent. Surprisingly, while everyone looked rather glum at the opening, they were all smiling at the farewell. And in 1926 nearly everyone sported a hat while in 2021 the only headgear in sight was the bishop’s mitre. The de-consecration of St Luke’s as a place of worship marks the end of a significant chapter in Kin Kin’s history. The hinterland town once had three churches (Anglican, Roman Catholic and Methodist/Uniting) but now, like many other small country towns, it
finds itself with none. This, Archbishop Gerald Sharp warned in the church’s first sermon back in 1926, is a situation that could lead to people “drifting back to paganism”. But in 2021 the people of Kin Kin seem to be more concerned about what will happen to the simple but elegant timber building and its gardens in the days ahead. Anglican authorities say there are no immediate plans to put the property up for sale. A number of prospective tenants have inquired about leasing the main hall and annex and the hope is that someone will take them over with community services in mind. Father Kevin, currently locum priest in the Cooroora parish, would like to see the building become a hub for arts and crafts workshops or for training in areas like cookery and hospitality. This would still allow religious services to be held from time to time.

Go Noosa going very well By Margaret Maccoll Go Noosa transport initiative is reducing the number of peak holiday cars in Hastings Street, more people are using scooters, but local patronage of free buses dropped off in the past year. These were among findings of the 2020-21 Peak Period Traffic Management Evaluation, released by Noosa Council this month, which found more than 250,000 passengers used the free service over the Christmas and Easter holiday periods. Council staff suggested it may have been COVID that influenced people’s willingness to catch a crowded bus but according to the report 43 per cent of users were Noosa residents compared to 60 per cent in previous years. A survey on Go Noosa, conducted each year on 3 January, found that in 2020-21 there was a 4% decrease in private vehicle use and 12% decrease in the number of pedestrians entering Hastings Street. It also found a 42% increase in motorbikes/ scooters and 4% increase in bicycles coming into the tourist spot. Data from Tourism Research Australia found Noosa accommodation occupancy in January (70%) and April (68%) 2021 was on par with pre-COVID 2019 occupancy. The impact of COVID was obvious in April 2020 with accommodation occupancy dropping to 24%. The number of people visiting (overnight and day trip visitors) in December 2020 was down about 20% in comparison to 2019 with January 2020 data not available. And if you thought it was busy in Noosa this Easter this year you were right with visitation in April 2021 up 200% up on 2020 figures. Good news for the service was that 98% of survey respondents said they were satisfied with the service and 56% said they would have come by car if the buses had not been free. In addition with traffic controllers favour-
Traffic controllers in Hastings Street last Christmas. ing buses and pedestrians the travel time for buses from Noosa Junction to Hastings Street dropped from 7-14 minutes a year ago to 6-8 minutes in 2020-21. Not proving so popular was the park and ride with only 27% of survey respondents saying they used a dedicated Park and Ride. And drivers preferred to find their own drop and go locations than dedicated drop and go car parking spaces. In Council meetings Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie described the number of bus users as “enormous” but questioned the ongoing use of the Noosa Heads Lions Park for car parking instead of recreational green space.
Over the 2020-21 Christmas holiday period the park was used for car parking for 22 days with an average of 212 cars per day bringing in revenue of $93,400. “Go Noosa holiday buses are proving to be a great success, giving locals and visitors a convenient and free alternative to driving into the Hastings Street Precinct during our busy holiday periods and searching for that elusive car parking spot,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “We know that awareness of the service has increased with ‘catching a bus last year’ being the number one means by which people were aware of Go Noosa. Noosa Ferry joined Go Noosa in Christmas
2020-21 but passenger data was not made available “due to commercial in confidence“. Go Noosa holiday buses are part of a broader program of transport initiatives which includes encouraging sustainable travel to local primary and high schools, community transport services for the elderly and people with a disability as well as advocating for improvements to public transport and walking and cycling infrastructure, Cr Stewart said. It is supported by Transport Strategy Steering Group made up of key stakeholders including Zero Emissions Noosa, the Hastings Street Association, Noosa Junction Traders Association, Tourism Noosa, and other stakeholders.

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart
Noosa budget round up The coming few weeks are big ones for Council. On Wednesday 30 June 2021 Council will meet to adopt the 2021-22 budget. The $153 million draft budget includes a $47 million capital program- Council’s biggest ever. Big ticket projects which feature in the capital program include the Tewantin Bypass and the Hinterland Adventure Playground, which we are delivering with financial support from other levels of government. There’s a proposed $1.09 million investment in Noosa Spit to restore the dog beach, plus a host of missing pathway links and an upgrade of the intersection at Doonella Street and Memorial Avenue Tewantin. There’s greater investment in community grants- close to $1 million and a $100% increase in fire preparedness measures such as hazard burns and fire trail creation and maintenance. I am especially proud of these increases to fire preparedness and management as this was a key platform I campaigned on so it is terrific to see Council adopt such proactive and increased measures to help prepare and protect our community for the upcoming fire season. The good news is, despite all of the above expenditure and investment in capital infrastructure and grass roots spending for our community, 75% of ratepayers can expect a general rate increase of 1.4% which is below CPI. Overall, the owner of an average residential property on the minimum general rate will pay about $44 or 2.9% more, including levies and charges under the proposed budget. This week we saw a new roundtable discussion instigated with key stakeholders to find
a set of suitable solutions for Noosa’s Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan (CHAP). This it to ensure we can work through the community’s concerns around the plan. The aim is to collaborate with the community to achieve a workable and agreeable solution for all. A further 4 roundtable meetings are planned with delegates from seven different stakeholder groups invited including- Hastings Street Association, Eastern Beaches Protective Alliance, Eastern Beaches Bushcare Collaborative, Noosa North Shore Residents Association, Noosaville Business Association, Peregian Family and Friends Association and Peregian Beach Community Association. Council has lobbied hard and received from the State Government an extension of time to finalise the Chap and I am hopeful we can achieve a workable solution for all concerned. Increased spending on fire management is a big part of our budget, but we’re also taking aim at our bushfire risk facing our bushland reserves with a new fire management plan, endorsed by Council on 17 June 2021. It paves the way for up to 7 planned burns a year, 2 kilometres of brand-new fire trails and the widening of almost 2km of existing trails. We’ll also appoint a dedicated fire management officer to train up our own staff so we can carry out our own controlled burns without having to rely on private contractors who often aren’t available. It’s about being as proactive as possible when it comes to protecting the Shire from bushfires and acting on what was learned from the 2019 fires which burnt more than 2060 hectares of land.

Budget feedback focus By Margaret Maccoll Increased rate charges for short-term-accommodation (STA) properties and Council’s proposed discontinuation of the Tourism and Economic levy dominated feedback to the draft budget. A special council meeting held last week discussed the issues raised as well as budget funding of climate action which Cr Brian Stockwell said was in response to concerns raised about inadequate funding. The draft budget was published for community feedback on Council’s Your Say Noosa webpage for a two weeks ending 7 June. During that time the site was visited 453
times by 364 visitors with most views occurring in the last three days of the consultation period. There were 22 Your Say submissions with the majority relating to STA rates charges and the discontinuation of the Tourism and Economic levy, staff said. Council also received 93 email submissions from residents, ratepayers, ratepayer groups, businesses and business groups with the majority focused on the same two issues. At the meeting Council CEO Brett de Chastel said the proposed discontinuation of the tourism and economic levy would not affect council’s funding agreement with Tourism Noosa.
Council received 64 emails raising concerns that the changes would jeopardise tourism funding and the transparency of funding for tourism promotion. Mr de Chastel said Tourism Noosa was funded $2.5m annually by council through a five-year funding agreement begun in 2017 that would come to an end on 1 July 2022. “That hasn’t changed,” he said. Mayor Clare Stewart said council had apologised to Tourism Noosa for their concerns born out of miscommunication. She said council and Tourism Noosa had a strong relationship that wouldn’t change and a funding agreement that wouldn’t change, and council was expediting the process to a new

CHAP roundtable From page 1 “We’ve also seen a real groundswell of support emerge, with six other community groups joining our fight to have the CHAP fixed so it protects our beaches and waterways but doesn’t harm homes. “It’s also clear now that other Queensland Councils have finalised their own versions of a CHAP - based on the same risk models - and have not needed to go to the extreme lengths that Noosa Council’s draft plan proposes to. It proves we have the ability to adjust and amend the draft CHAP to ensure it doesn’t hurt homeowners - and actually protects the beaches - before it is too late.“ The Peregian Beach Community Association The Peregian Beach Community Association says the coastal property risk of the climate crisis is a Queensland, Australian and international issue that must not be borne unfairly by residents and ratepayers of local Councils like Noosa. PBCA spokesperson, Barry Cotterell, said an analysis of the legal framework for development applications in risky or sensitive areas shows that the State Planning policy is paramount, and Councils have a clear responsibility to refer these applications to the State Government. “When we build larger and larger houses, squeezed onto blocks on steep frontal dunes, there must be some point where we literally draw a line in the sand for the sake of our entire community, our beaches and our tourism industry that relies on this fragile coastline being kept intact,” he said. Council CEO Brett de Chastel who will facilitate the stakeholder discussions said it was important to “ get a CHAP that works for our community while at the same time, adequately provides future protection for the coastal areas“. Council has been given an extension until the end of November to provide a finalised CHAP to the State Government.

agreement with Tourism Noosa. In response to concerns over transparency Council said the adopted budget would include specific details of the annual budget investment on tourism in addition to monthly reporting of actual expenditure through Council’s financial performance report. Council also recommended the CEO report to the next round of Council meetings outlining a process to develop a new partnership funding agreement with Tourism Noosa, to allay concerns raised in the feedback regarding Tourism Noosa’s future funding allocation from Council. Budget feedback included 17 emails relating to the proposed introduction of transitory accommodation rating for about 4,300 properties offered for short term accommodation. Council officers said responses were received from both impacted property owners objecting to the proposed increase for their property, and residents / ratepayers supporting the proposed rate charges as well as STA organisation Stayz, outlining concerns with the proposed rating changes. Council’s officer said an “expert consultant” had been engaged to review the proposed STA rate structure that was similar to ones used by other councils including the Gold Coast. He said the medium charge would be about $14 a week with higher value properties paying a higher rate. At the higher end it would take them less than one day in rental fees to recoup the cost, he said. We think that’s reasonable and achievable, he said.

An appetite for history

Noosa’s appetite for discovering more about its colourful history seems very healthy, with the official launch of new book Place Of Shadows, The History of Noosa, selling out in four days. The book, by Noosa Today’s Phil Jarratt, will be launched by legendary playwright David Williamson at the Harbour Wine Bar, Noosa Marina on Friday, July 30, with the equally legendary singer/songwriter Barry Charles providing the music – a set of Noosa songs from the ‘70s. Tickets to the launch, offered by Annie’s Books of Peregian, were snapped up at an unprecedented rate, according to proprietor Annie Grossman. “I think readers in Noosa have been waiting for a very readable history for quite a while,” she said. “There’s a lot of excitement surrounding this launch, and rightly so. It’s colourful, fun to read, and perhaps for the
first time it puts the whole story between its covers, from First Nations through European settlement to the many battles to keep Noosa beautiful.” Annie said planning for follow-up book functions was already underway, with a “footpath” launch at her Peregian Beach shop on August 19, and a Shire Tour of the hinterland villages planned for September. Author Phil Jarratt commented: “I hope the book sells as well as the launch tickets! Apologies to those who missed out on the Marina event, but I’m looking forward to talking about our rich local history, and listening to the stories of others, as we introduce the book around the shire over the coming months.” For further information about Place of Shadows on the Footpath, phone 5448 2053 or email info@anniesbooksonperegian.com.au
Local state road upgrades on the drawing board Planning is underway to include a dedicated, right-turn lane into Sivyers Road at the Cooroy-Noosa Road intersection. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the Palaszczuk Government had allocated $965,000 for in the intersection upgrade at Tinbeerwah. “Sandy Bolton put this one on my radar and said some work was needed to improve visibility at that intersection,” Mr Bailey said. “The speed limit on Cooroy-Noosa Road
was reduced from 90 km/h to 80 km/h in 2019 in recognition of the increase in the number of vehicles using it, so this upgrade will further improve safety. “Providing a right turn lane will allow motorists to safely wait for a gap in traffic to turn into Sivyers Road without blocking westbound vehicles on Cooroy-Noosa Road. “TMR has started designing the upgrade and we expect construction to start next year.”
Mr Bailey said the upgrade would reduce the likelihood and severity of crashes at the intersection which is used by about 11,000 motorists each day. He said the works would also include installing new safety barriers at the nearby Six Mile Creek Bridge, new signs and linemarking. “We’ll keep the community updated on the progress of this upgrade and of course we’ve also locked in $18 million to replace the Six Mile Creek Bridge next year on Kin Kin Road,
north of Pomona. “Council has also started early works on the Tewantin Bypass which will use the $9.5 million contributed by the Palaszczuk Government to build a new roundabout at the Cooroy-Noosa Road and Beckmans Road intersection. “Noosa locals are going to see works happening at all of these locations over the next 12-18 months, so we appreciate their patience when driving around these work sites.”

Walking with pets for life By Margaret Maccoll After having a few falls Grace Taylor became fearful of walking her 8-year mastiff, Cleo, but a chance mention to friends of her concerns led her to Pets for Life and her problem solved. Grace from Verrierdale contacted Pets for Life who conducted an assessment and put her in touch with couple Mandy and Mark Lovell from nearby Weyba Downs. The couple regularly walk Cleo, a much loved rescue dog from Noosa RSPCA, and the neighbours have become firm friends. Grace said Cleo looked forward to the weekly arrival of the Lovells and her walk. “She gets all excited when they come,” Grace said. Mandy said she and Mark just loved the idea of it. “At the moment we don’t have a dog. This is perfect for us. We get our doggie fix and help Grace out,” she said. “Pets for Life asked us if we wanted to walk small or bigger dogs. We prefer medium to large dogs. That’s what we’ve always had.” Pets for Life is a service to older people to assist them in looking after their companion animals. One or more volunteers visit the older person on a regular basis to provide practical assistance such as dog walking, changing a cat litter tray or accompanying the person to a vet visit. Animals are used as a conduit to reach socially isolated people, prevent the trauma of older people having to relinquish or euthanise their beloved pets, and provide a line of communication between a socially isolated person and the range of services and referrals the Caloundra Community Centre can provide. The organisation was initiated in 2005 by Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge (SCARS) volunteer Robin Stenhouse who had witnessed the trauma experienced by older people who had to surrender their pets because they could no longer care for them.

There’ll be new apprenticeships, traineeships and more places in higher education. And there’ll be more opportunities for families to access work with more affordable childcare.
SMALL BUSINESSES ARE ON TRACK We’re supporting hard hit industries such as aviation, tourism and international education. And continuing tax incentives, such as the Instant Asset Write-off, to encourage businesses to invest, to grow and to create more jobs.
We’re improving employment services so that employers and job seekers are more easily matched. And our $1.2 billion investment in digital infrastructure, skills, and incentives means that more businesses in communities right across Australia can be part of the thriving digital economy.
Queenslanders lost more than $32 million to scammers in 2020, according to the latest Targeting Scams Report from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman wants Queenslanders to protect themselves from scammers who do not discriminate in who they target, or how they operate. “Scamming is big business and our best defence against these con artists is to understand their modus operandi and be alert to spotting new scam trends,” the Attorney-General said. “In 2020, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) noted an increase in reports of scams during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly fake online stores, phone calls by scammers pretending to be from trusted organisations or government agencies, scams via email and text, and itinerant trader scams.” Scammers are always finding new ways to take people’s money, with losses by Queenslanders up from $27.3 million in 2019 to $32.1 million in 2020.
LOWER TAXES & GREATER SUPPORT FOR MORE AUSTRALIANS Tax cuts for 10 million low and middle income earners will put more money in their pockets to spend at local businesses, creating more economic activity and more jobs. It’s a plan that will not only help Australia come back, but come back better than ever.

Founder and CEO Leanne Walsh said, “By purchasing the 10-acre property next door it’s going to help us expand all our services, all our support including our recreational and educational programs and activities.” “One of the key things we will be providing is small-scale, residential supported homes for those living with disability on the Sunshine Coast. “There is actually no true affordable housing available for people with disability, so for Sunshine Butterflies to be able to provide this to our families is really quite life-changing.” Sunshine Butterflies have just released a heart-warming fundraising video campaign featuring Founder and CEO Leanne Walsh, Ambassadors Jimmy and Tam (winners of The Block 2020) and their team of builders, town planners and architects who have been by their side since very humble beginnings. This campaign calls to the community to help them raise $500,000 to make this dream a reality. The charity said it will be especially beneficial for the most vulnerable members of the community who are also suffering from the current housing crisis. “As a mum of a child with disability, it is really important for us to know moving forward that our child is going to safe, secure and supported,” Leanne said. Taylor’d Distinction Building Designer, Peter Taylor said the development of the next 10-acres of Sunshine Butterflies “will be on a small scale and very much in touch with nature and the beautiful surroundings of the Noosa countryside”. Town Planner RG Strategic Rusell Green said, “They’ll be nothing else like it on the Sunshine Coast, if in Queensland, and so as always Sunshine Butterflies are going to be at the forefront of delivering to the community.” Ambassadors Jimmy and Tam are blown away by the ‘amazing space’. “You can just feel the love straight away when you walk through the gates of ‘Our Backyard’. This expansion is going to change lives,” they said. Donate via https://www.sunshinebutterflies.com.au/blog/help-us-grow/ to help Sunshine Butterflies expand to the 10-acre property next door.

Saving lives across Noosa By Abbey Cannan Noosa’s four State Emergency Service (SES) sites now have lifesaving defibrillators thanks to donations from the Rotary Club of Noosa. Noosa Rotary treasurer Tess Alexandroff said they were privileged to be able to donate defibrillators for the benefit of the Noosa community. “These are lifesaving devices for the SES to have when out attending their matters,” Tess said. Despite having these lifesaving devices located around Noosa including along the Noosa River, most people would be unaware of where to find them in an emergency due to the lack of signage. Noosa Council Director of Community Services, Kerri Contini, said it was a great initiative to help save lives but the installation of permanent wayfinding signage could cause a few issues. “QAS, as a key emergency health service, has developed a new centralised Queensland AED register and this is the best place to register the devices,” she said. “This service makes it much easier and quicker for emergency personnel to pinpoint locations of the lifesaving equipment.” Ms Contini said the council had informed the Rotary Club of the reasons for not installing permanent signage and encouraged it to make use of the newly-developed Queensland register. “The installation of permanent wayfinding signage means any change of location for the devices would affect the accuracy of the sig-

Noosa SES local controller Warren Kuskopf said the donation of the defibrillators was invaluable. “We have four groups across the unit in Tewantin, Cooroy, Pomona, and Boreen Point, and we now have four defibrillators that will help to cover the Noosa Shire,” Warren said.
Noosa SES deputy local controller Sue Below said they wouldn’t be able to afford the devices without the help from the Rotary Club. “I’m the first aid instructor here and we have defibs that we practise with, but to have these to actually take out with us is a fantastic thing,” Sue said.
Tewantin Noosa RSL hosts Wellness Forum The Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch will host a Wellness Forum to provide veterans and emergency services personnel with support. Each day, thousands of veterans and emergency service personnel deal with the ongoing effects of the psychological and physical toll of their service to their country. Recent research has shown veterans with mental health issues have a higher incidence of physical disease than the general population. Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch president Adel Amin said this forum was organised to help combat these issues. “Our role as a sub branch is to look after our veterans but we would like to extend further to the first responders in our community, because they are equally exposed to the horrors of the daily occurrences,” Mr Amin said. “We want to help them navigate the system so they are aware of the help that is available for them. “When it comes to mental or physical health, it doesn’t discriminate. It’s important
that if you recognise that you’re not yourself, seek help.” Sub Branch Wellbeing Officer Lew MacLeod said Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien would be in attendance to officially open the forum as well as Major General John Cantwell who will be a guest speaker. “Major General John Cantwell is someone that comes with a wealth of experience but has also experienced the issues of the outcomes of service,” Mr Macleod said. “I’m an ex-nurse, ex-paramedic, ex-military nurse, and so I’ve had two deployments overseas and I’ve had the experiences of the outcomes of what I saw, which is ongoing with me. “And so that’s where I have the strength in education in implementing the structures that support our individual members as a wellbeing officer.” The forum will take place on Saturday 26 June at the Tewantin Noosa RSL from 8:30am to 2:30pm.

Startup gains $1 million By Abbey Cannan Noosa founded startup ScreenCoach has received $671,500 in a latest round of government funding, bringing the total program backing to $1million. The startup that helps families manage their childrens’ mobile device screen time was co-founded by Noosa father Gary Borham. Gary said they were ecstatic to have received the funding for the device which they’ve been developing since 2019. “The whole idea started at a barbecue at my place. We had a bunch of parents complaining about their kids on screens and how hard it is to get them to help around the home and get more active,“ he said. “We want families to work together to face the issue with this device. The success of ScreenCoach is the fact that kids drive it.“ The new funding, dollar-matched by local and international investment, will be used to drive ScreenCoach towards rapid commercialisation and scale, with a private Beta launch kicking off in July and an anticipated nationwide app store launch in December. Childrens’ time spent on devices has become a pressing health concern of national and global importance, with related health concerns ranging from increasing obesity from sedentary lifestyles, increased mental illness directly linked with technology overuse and a startling emergence of ‘digital dementia’ in children. ScreenCoach’s simple, gamified reward system sees children and teens earn their screen time on devices once they complete pre-set activities such as homework, housework and hobbies. By letting children self-manage their own tasks, the app alleviates a common challenge in modern parenting: getting kids’ eyes unglued from screens and focussed on other activities without having to constantly ask.

Gary said a key for other Noosa tech entrepreneurs to succeed was to connect with local groups. “We worked closely with Gary Swanepoel and all of the team at the Startup Precinct in Noosa Junction. We had some great relationships with Chris Bowden and the guys at the Peregian Digital Hub.
“The Noosa Council was also a great help. There are grants out there but they do take a lot of time. “We’re all building our parachutes as they fall.“ Gary takes the role as ScreenCoach’s Business Development Manager, joining fellow parents and co-founders, Chief Executive Offi-
cer Stephanie Kakris, and Head of Technology Peter Kakris. “We’re thrilled with this second round of funding support, which will help us finalise the design of the app and upgrade hardware for cross-device support, so we can get it into the hands of families that need it in Australia and around the world,“ Stephanie, who holds a Masters in Psychology and is a published parenting author, said. The Accelerating Commercialisation grant provides SMBs, entrepreneurs and researchers with funding with the aim to strengthen, grow, innovate and commercialise Australian business both nationally and globally. The highly competitive grant process puts each project through an independent, merit based assessment for the chance to be awarded up to $1 million in matched funding, meaning the business must contribute an equal amount to the project. Just 530 of the grants have been awarded between the program’s inception in 2014 and 2021, providing $260 million to support companies to commercialise their innovative products.

Mural celebration Students pitch their business plans.
Classroom money makers Entrepreneurial skills are some of the greatest assets our young people can develop to ensure a vibrant future. At St Teresa’s Catholic College, the Year 9 Business program has been building over the past few years and has become one of the most popular subject choices. Students design, produce and sell their own products and services under the guiding hand of teacher Daniel Neven. This semester has seen sales figures for the two classes reach over $10,000, breaking all previous records, and best of all students keep their profits. Products range from handmade cutting boards, infusion soaks, cleaning products, dog treats and toys, and jewellery to surf wax and lip balm. Environmental impact is a huge factor in the creation of products and services, along with all the typical business considerations. As a part of the course students participated in shark tank sessions, where local business owners gave feedback and ap-
proved the seed funding for each project. All aspects from product, packaging, target market, advertising, price points and cost of goods were presented and dissected. Guest presenters such as Jan Osmond and Rod Solomons from Business Mentors Noosa, Tomas Piccinini from Venture Labs UQ and exstudent Breeze Lidden, founder of Zoopeez, gave students real world advice on how to succeed. Two of the products were even offered the opportunity to feature on Amazon. Along with developing an online presence and sales funnel, Eumundi Markets hosted a stall for each class, where personal selling techniques were learned, and further sales made. “The 100K ECP project has brought business alive in the most real way, with student earning cash they can keep,” says teacher Dan Neven. As some students continue to grow and develop their businesses, you can be sure these St Teresa’s Catholic College students have the potential to become successful young entrepreneurs.
Peregian Springs State School celebrated the opening of their very first cultural inclusive mural, ‘Emu Walking’ on Wednesday. MP Dan Purdie and MP Sandy Bolton joined the opening, as well as Principal of Coolum High School Troy Ascot and Kabi Kabi Elder Uncle Tais, who performed the Welcome to Country. The project started on Monday 24 May and ran over a period of two weeks. The mural itself stretches over two stories high and includes a collaboration of real-life artistry and First Nations artwork. During the creation of this mural, the school celebrated Reconciliation Week, a time for all to learn about shared histories, cultures, and achievements. In doing so the school contributed to the ongoing conversation of reconciliation by bringing together our communities to create this wonderful artwork. Nikita Newly from New Dreaming Art and Ben and Dave from Rythmicolour Collective, collaborated together with input from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, on how we could best represent our school. Nikita explained the project as she said,”This is a collaboration story of two cultures coming together to share a vision.”
“The story is based around the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students coming together and expressing what they wanted to be represented on the school wall.” “Altogether, combined, these pieces show the children’s connections and bloodlines, the fact that we hold some sort of heritage from somewhere. “None of us are the same, but when coming together as a unit, as a community we can all move forward to create a better education and understanding for the future generations to come. “As the students move through schooling, they will grow and so will their dreams, that’s what the stars represent and the wildlife around them that they get to enjoy as well as the native flowers and bush life. “The bunya trees that grow all over the GubbiGubbi/KabiKabi nation show us where we are and what country we are on. These trees hold very important purpose to the traditional owners of this land and can be used for many things. “They were traded on a yearly basis throughout the country and not just in Queensland.” Each First Nations student also put their hand prints in the shape of what we called a humpy, a hut of sorts, to sleep under when out walking on country.

The Hotseat Richard Stephens, Tourism Noosa chair
Tourism spat continues The seemingly minor issue of how Noosa Council’s funding mechanism for Tourism Noosa might work in the future has become a hot topic around Pelican Street, the Noosa Marina and most of Hastings Street, with both parties seeming to be intractable. In search of some answers, PHIL JARRATT put Tourism Noosa chair RICHARD STEPHENS in the Hot Seat. My opening question was going to be, is there a resolution or even a truce in Tourism Noosa’s war with Noosa Council, but your body language is telling me there is neither. I don’t want to suggest we’re at war because one of the greatest measures of success is our relationship with our council. What I put to council today (Monday) was why mess with that success. What I mean by that is that our tourism funding levy model is highly regarded around the country and its success has been acknowledged. Why mess with that? I haven’t been able to get an answer to that. But you get the yearly funding under a separate agreement regardless, so does the method of delivery actually matter that much? Yes, because we are about to enter the last year of a five-year agreement and the $2.52 million per year funding agreement is only good until it expires in another 12 months. Thereafter, we have no agreement, so where do we go from there? The levy is protected under legislation, it’s not to be used for general council purposes other than what it’s been defined to do. Right now, that means it’s for tourism and economic development, nothing else. But from July 1, 2022, we have no assurance that this will be the case. I’m confident we’ll have a solid funding base for a further five years, but am I hanging the industry out to dry after that? What am I missing here? Wouldn’t you always have to negotiate each five-year deal? Within those five-year deals we have to justify our existence each year. We’re always under review, but fundamentally what the levy does is it gives everyone a clear line of sight. Every rate payer can follow the money trail and see how it’s managed and how it’s directed back into tourism. That transparency will be gone for the rate-payer and for the industry. Basically, the council is saying trust me, we’ll run the rates and you’ll still get your money, but they don’t seem to understand that we lose the protection of the specific and transparent use of those funds for tourism promotion and economic development. In the minutes of last week’s special meeting of council, there seemed to be a clear mea culpa, an admission that they’d communicated badly on the issue, which I took to mean that a rethink was on the cards. Not so? I acknowledged and appreciated their apology for the poor communication, and then I waited for new communication. I haven’t had that, still waiting, and in my dealings with council I’m not seeing any change in approach. I read in the minutes that the council CEO had been tasked with expediting an agreement with Tourism Noosa going forward. Has that happened yet? Yes, I met with Brett de Chastel this morning to discuss the new funding deed and I have an undertaking with him that this will commence within two weeks. But I never thought that was going to be the issue. It’s the olive branch, and it’s designed to reassure us and the tourism industry that they will continue to support us, but that doesn’t change the fact that we are making a fundamental and monumental change to the transparency and use of those funds. I could sit back and go, don’t worry, we’re completely okay for the next five years, but whoever is representing Tourism Noosa and council then doesn’t have that basic mechanism in place. That’s why I’m concerned. If I had an answer as to why, maybe I’d think differently, but no one has yet shown an adequate justification for changing a mechanism that has been in place for two decades and is a clear success story, a magnificent instrument for funding tourism promotion. 24 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 June, 2021
Tourism Noosa chair Richard Stephens. Which is basically the if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it argument, expressed most eloquently by former Councillor and Tourism Noosa board member Vivien Griffin in the public submissions. Is anyone at council listening to a wise elder? I know she hasn’t been approached about it, whether they’re heeding her warnings I don’t know, but I don’t have a sense of that happening. It’s worth noting that there are going to be significantly more funds being received by council through the levy on short term accommodations, which I understood was coming the way of the tourism levy. Has anyone suggested that the proposed general rates delivery might have something to do with hiding the new revenue? It’s a strong conversation within the industry. As I understand it, there’s already an excess of half a million bucks from the levy paid by about 600 businesses involved in tourism, after the Tourism Noosa funding is paid, but nobody is quite sure where that goes. When the Airbnb tax revenue starts rolling that might add another million to the coffers. Will anyone know where that goes? Well, the additional revenue currently all goes to economic development, which is why it’s
Pictures: ROB MACCOLL called the tourism and economic development levy. How much economic development can you buy for half a million bucks? It’s not as transparent as the tourism funding, where you can follow the trail and see exactly how the money is managed in our annual reports, but it’s legit. I know it goes towards economic development. But what does that mean? It’s pretty broad. A playground in the hinterland might be classed as economic development. So why would 600 people whose business is tourism want to see their rates levy spent on something that has nothing to do with tourism? Why are they funding economic development for the general good when the rest of us ratepayers are not? I don’t have the answer to that, but I’m sure the council would say that the economic development we’re talking about is more tourism related. But you say that there’s no evidence of that? The evidence we’re concerned with is about where the tourism money goes, and that’s transparent. And the $2.52 million that Tourism Noosa has received in funding for the last
four years represents only 3.5 percent of the total rates revenue, and this in a place that is totally reliant on the tourism industry. Is there any kind of national benchmark for local government support of tourism bodies? Not really, but there are two examples in the neighbourhood. Sunshine Coast had their tourism levy abolished in 2017 and Gold Coast likewise. But the reason for that was because their industry diversification is so much greater than ours. In both cases tourism revenue represented less than 20 percent, whereas here we are totally reliant on tourism. The model is different. The public submissions sent to council on this matter were largely positive but there were a few negatives suggesting that you should get less or no funding because we don’t want any more tourists. How do you answer that? In 2019 we completed a report called The Value of Tourism, interviewing 1000 residents across the community, and 83 percent said they understood the value of tourism to their lives and to their businesses. Five or six percent had the other view, that it was corrosive to their lifestyle. But the real number was this – 45 percent said that their businesses would fold without tourism.
NOOSATODAY.COM.AU
Another argument going around is that if tourism benefits so many people indirectly, why aren’t they paying the levy? One example is real estate. It’s a difficult science and you can always pick faults with how rates are levied. In this particular case there is no doubt that real estate derives a major benefit from tourism. On another issue, lack of hospitality staff is a huge issue in many parts of the country. How bad is it here? Every business is handling it differently. Some are compromising their service levels to compensate, which I think is sad. They might not service the room every day or they leave rooms vacant for a couple of days. Bars and restaurants are just closing when they don’t have staff. It’s very difficult. What else is a problem, Richard? I think value is a problem we have to be aware of. Everywhere is full all the time right now, and some businesses are taking advantage of that to ramp their rates up when it’s not reflected in the value they offer. That has an impact on reputation. This is a long-term venture, and they need to consider that. Last question, and it’s back to the levy. I know both of the protagonists and you seem like sensible, down to earth guys. Can’t you and Brett just sit down behind closed doors and sort this out? Brett de Chastel and I have a very good relationship, so there’s no doubt that I’m disappointed that we haven’t been able to do that yet. He understands that I have a duty to represent the industry and that I need to go back to my members with something, and so far I haven’t got that. So I urge people to go out and talk to their councillors this week about the importance of tourism and its funding and help resolve this.

Business is pawesome By Melissa Grant Mother-daughter time has never been so sweet for Ildiko Sztojka and 10-year-old Laura Barnacz. Most days, the pair spend hours together making doggy ice-cream for their little but growing business, Noosa Paws Dicecream. It’s a venture that came about following a hot day late last year when Laura, a keen cook, was whipping up some healthy ice-cream. “I was trying to make healthy ice-cream for humans and I came across this recipe, it was coconut cream, honey and strawberry,” she explained. “The second batch, I didn’t put honey in it and my dog, Benjy, he tried it. “My dog is very picky ... he ate that one and he really loved it.” Ildiko and Laura then joked about feeding the ice-cream to other dogs. That was until they realised they had potentially stumbled upon a great business idea. So they decided to road test their dogfriendly coconut-based ice-cream. “We thought we should give free samples on the local beaches to see if other dogs liked it too,” Ildiko said. The ice-cream was a hit, with dog after dog licking it up. They then set about turning Laura’s invention into a small business. In less than four months, they have managed to get their Dicecream product into many dog-friendly places including Wunderdogs Doggie Daycare at Noosaville, Stellarossa Coffee at Coolum Beach, Sunshine Beach General Store, The Velo Project Coffee at Maroochydore and Cock and Hen Coffee at Twin Waters. With orders coming in thick and fast, Laura and Ildiko spend hours most days making doggy ice-cream.

“A busy day would be four hours. You make it, freeze it, come back and do other things,” Ildiko explained. “While I’m at school, mum does some and then I come home and we do it together,” Laura added. Each ‘Dicecream’ uses dog-safe ingredients, natural fruits and a coconut cream base. The popsicle that holds the product together is actually a dental stick, which gives a dog’s teeth a clean after they’ve licked up all the Dicecream. Humans can also eat the ice-cream, apart

information and come up with a plan to prevent diabetes in the future. “Even though my gestational diabetes resolved after my pregnancies, I am highly at risk to develop Type 2 Diabetes later in my life and that may likely include my children. “At my clinic, I have a focus on chronic disease and gut health, weight management, as well as diabetes management.” Dr Chang, who began her dietetics study when her second child was five months old, received a University Medal for an academic score of 6.8 out of a possible 7 when she graduated in April. “I loved my placement year the most,” she said. “The lecturer and coordinator were really supportive to find me placements that helped me transfer my PhD skills in Medical Sciences.” Dr Chang said scientific evidence showed the diversity of a person’s gut microbiome
played an enormous role in physical and mental health. “Eating a diverse range of plant-based sources can help to diversify beneficial gut microbiome, and this can help to preserve your kidney function if you have a kidney disease,” said Dr Chang, who has a special interest in chronic kidney disease. “This could also be the case with other chronic diseases as well as degenerative diseases,” she said. Dr Chang works with clients who have been referred to her by GPs but she is also available on demand. “At the moment I am focused on consultation and nutrition assessment. Once we know the problem, we can look at what solutions there are for each person,” she said. “I also like food and I like interacting with people and actually helping them, so that is also a good combination to make a dietitian.”
Dr Evelyn (Pheh Ping) Chang wasted no time after completing a USC Bachelor of Dietetics to launch her clinic, Rainbow Nutrition and Dietetics.
The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK
MONDAY

ABC TV, 8pm
COURTNEY ACT’S ONE PLUS ONE
WONDER WOMAN SEVEN, 8.30pm
Directed by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman is a stunningly shot exploration of the origins of the female superhero. Gal Gadot (Fast & Furious) commands the screen as the titular character, with a welcome emphasis on her strength and conviction, rather than her beauty. Set during World War I, Gadot is in her element as the fierce warrior trying to stop a global threat, while also discovering her true destiny. It’s a fun, thoughtful, passionate and often disarmingly humorous blockbuster.
SATURDAY
FRIDAY
MISS CONGENIALITY GEM, 8.40pm
SANDITON
Sandra Bullock (also co-producer) is in top comic form as tomboyish FBI agent Gracie Hart, who goes undercover as a contestant in the Miss United States pageant to thwart the diabolical plans of a terrorist. Most of the laughs spawn from Gracie’s transformation from “Dirty Harriet” to sophisticate through the guidance of beauty consultant Victor Melling (Michael Caine), while the love-hate games between Gracie and her FBI colleague Eric (Benjamin Bratt) also hit some memorable highs.
ABC TV, 8.20pm
Jane Austen’s unfinished final manuscript has been brought to life with lovely detail and intriguing characters, making it a perfectly diverting period drama. What better way to wile away a winter’s Saturday evening than to dip into a world where top hats, leather gloves, waistcoats and flowing gowns are the backdrop to everyday life, and romance is always promising to bloom? When you’re lounging in your tracksuit after ordering take-away pizza, it’s the epitome of escapism. Tonight, in the penultimate episode, Lady Denham (Anne Reid) is close to death, and the tensions between Edward (Jack Fox), Clara (Lily Sacofsky, right) and Esther (Charlotte Spencer) reach boiling point.
Scripted dramas and reality TV may be all the rage, so where do you go to soothe the soul with life-affirming stories and comic warmth? If you haven’t already made the discovery, it’s this unique interview series. With different interviewers each season – journalist and professor of global affairs Stan Grant and Paralympian Kurt Fearnley have asked the questions – this round boasts singer and drag queen Courtney Act (below). Through five episodes, kicking off tonight, she chats with some notable young people who are keen to make a difference. Tonight Lisa Origliasso, one half of pop duo The Veronicas, delves into sexism in the music industry and the pivotal role of family.
Courtney Act hosts Courtney Act’s One Plus One.

Peaceful woodland walks in Noosa National Park. 241348
Costa Georgiadis talks mulch and manure with the landscape team members at Parkridge Noosa. 241348
Gardening guru Costa Georgiadis reminds us there’s a world of nature outside just waiting to be explored, as ERLE LEVEY reports.
Costa’s big wide world No sooner than he had pulled up in his hybridpowered car than gardening guru Costa Georgiadis was doing what he loved best ... getting his hands into some mulch. With his trademark beard and T-shirt sporting a stylised bee logo, Costa was in Noosa at the weekend to host the Australian Institute of Horticulture annual awards. And he wasted no time in getting among the soil, the mulch and manure. The first thing I learnt from the popular host of ABC-TV’s Gardening Australia was he loves to get his hands dirty. He went straight across the parking area and started talking to the landscape gardening team at Parkridge Noosa. While discussing the make-up of the uteload of mulch with the team, they started talking about his morning walk through Noosa National Park. This included sharing images taken on his iPhone of sunrises as well as the diversity of vegetation found in such a remarkable treasure right on the doorstep of Hastings Street. The awards were held at Fish - the restaurant at the Parkridge Noosa apartment development at Noosa Heads. And Queensland projects were among those recognised for their contributions to gardening throughout Australia. Parkridge, along with the Queensland Garden Expo at Nambour on the Sunshine Coast, the Gayndah Burnett Riverwalk Project in the North Burnett and the Munro Martin Parklands in Cairns, were among those to be commended. Costa believes the Covid-19 outbreak has validated what we all know to be important. Food, sleep, families, our homes, fresh air and exercise. With constraints brings wisdom and it’s individuals such as Costa that mentor us to revisit our gardens, our communities, our bushlands. After all, if you have a garden and a book, you have everything you need. “Get into the garden,’’ he said. “If there’s one thing the past 15 months has shown us is that when we have time, there’s a world around us to explore … we do not need things to entertain us, just the step to go outside. “Street gardens, natural bush reserves are all part of our diet … we need to dine on them daily. “It has reminded us about the benefits of 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 June, 2021

If there’s one thing the past 15 months has shown us is that when we have time, there’s a world around us to explore … we do not need things to entertain us, just the step to go outside.” good health and good food. “There’s no denying the connection of nature and health … the more science comes in, it validates elements of age-old practices combined with what’s new in knowledge and science. “Covid has meant people have spent more time at home. “It means they have looked for those open spaces to get out of their house and be a part of nature that’s around them. “Put their goggles on and realise that even a natural corridor space can be soothing. “It can be a corridor for biodiversity .. for insects, for birds, to re-wild where we live.’’ With an infectious grin, Costa is a ball of energy - an enthusiastic and big-hearted person, very giving of his time and knowledge.
He talks as we walk among the gardens at Parkridge, his attention darting to this plant and that, from ground cover to green walls of flowering vines, from a rooftop garden to the way the top soil and mulch binds the roots of plants. With AIH president Michael Casey, he is busy discussing the choice of plants in Noosa’s sub-tropical climate … along with ideas for future episodes of Gardening Australia or industry magazines. Then, sitting down inside Fish over a coffee and glass of water, we start talking … dirt. “So what can I do to stop orchids dying?’’ I ask. He is thoughtful. “Restraint.’’ So, don’t over-water them as it can lead to

Costa loves the Royal National Park outside of Sydney for all of its specific landscapes, from coast to forests. All three of the botanic gardens in Sydney really. Royal National Park, the Australian Botanic Garden at Mount Annan, and Blue Mountains Botanical Garden in Mount Tomah. Then there’s the Olive Pink Botanic Garden in Alice Springs that specialises in plants native to the arid central Australian region. “My most recent addition after yesterday’s walk is the Noosa National Park,’’ he said. “That’s spectacular. “What I loved was it is such an amazing walk along the coast but then you can traverse a cross-section of dunes into the woodlands. “Stunning … such diversity. “The biodiversity of the landscape types is something you can only appreciate by slowly walking.’’ Costa is a second generation Australian of Greek descent. He was born in Sydney and grew up in North Bondi on the same street as his grandparents and uncle.

Costa Georgiadis has been a regular guest at the Queensland Garden Expo. 241348
Costa Georgiadis talks mulch and manure with the landscape team at Parkridge Noosa. 241348 It was his grandparents who fostered his early interest in gardening, and family remains a key part of his life. He worked as a landscaper whilst studying landscape architecture at University of New South Wales, where he developed an interest in sustainability. The Australian Institute of Horticulture awards are about embracing nature, providing greenery amongst the built environment. “They are all about recognising projects that are taking advantage of every bit of open space we have,’’ Costa said. “And not just getting it out of the way but actually putting thoughtful design and the inclusion of plants - native plants that can reenergise the local ecosystem. “I mean when you think about Queensland, it’s the sunshine state. “Things grow here. “So we need to take any opportunity to recognise people that are connecting with nature and bringing nature back into our living spaces. “It is something that of course I’m going to support.’’ The Queensland Garden Expo took out a Green Space Events and Engagement Award. It commends the Expo’s commitment to building awareness for horticulture, through an extensive program of activities covering a huge variety of topics — including the health and wellness benefits of gardening, a big focus on organic gardening and what gardeners can do to promote wildlife and beneficial bugs in gardens. “It’s such a wonderful local event,’’ Costa said, “but in the bigger picture it’s a national event of real significance ... it’s an education hub. “They have so many speakers across the weekend, 300-400 different stall holders. “It is not just showcasing plants but the nursery industry - horticulture across the board. “It’s not just a workshop and a talk, but people can speak with a real grower ... learn and take away.’’ Costa said the Queensland Garden Expo has stood the test of time and continues to attract gardening enthusiasts from all over Australia and even New Zealand. It attracts more than 40,000 people over the three-day event with about 65 percent of visitors coming from outside the region. “This is an event that leaves you feeling in-

spired and excited about what you can achieve in your garden,’’ Costa said. Parkridge Noosa saw a Green Space Urban Award going to Altum Property Group and Hutchinson Builders for the development on 5.44ha between Noosa National Park and Lake Weyba. This residential development site had been a sand quarry and the developer recycled 25,000cubic metres of waste while completing the remediation of the quarry. It allocated 2ha towards green space consisting of 16,360sq m of native gardens and 3110sq m of grassed parkland including rooftop gardens and bio basins. Costa commended Parkridge for showcasing vegetation and enhancing the architecture, to lift the green side of their developments. “For me, a project like this was an industrial site and it was a matter of thinking how can we turn it around and make it a beautiful living space? “After only two years nature is starting to get its claws back onto what was once hers.’’ The Gayndah Riverwalk Project, a shared pathway along the Burnett River, has been deeply embedded in, and helped in its imple-
mentation, by the local community for over two decades. A key component has been maintaining this region’s special biodiversity. This includes a focus on raising the awareness and protection of the habitat of iconic indigenous species such as the Queensland lungfish (Neoceratodus) and the platypus along with the local and transitory bird life. The local indigenous claim group, the Wakka Wakka, checked for cultural sites and assisted in the development of Bush Tucker and Bush Medicine Trails. In July, Costa will be going to Gympie and Tin Can Bay, to speak at schools. Then on to Rainbow Beach. He’s been going to the area for a few years, thanks to an uncle. It was Costa’s childhood spent in family gardens that inspired his love of nature. The more questions he gets asked in his work today, the more he remembers those gardens. Especially watching his grandfather give people cuttings, showing them what to do with the manure and potting mix. Costa is the third host of Gardening Austra-
lia, after Peter Cundall and Stephen Ryan. And for five years the role was co-hosted by the other presenters of the program. His favourite garden tool is his fingers and hands, followed by a trusty short-handled spade. And his best garden hack everyone should use? “Consistency. Short regular injections of time are more valuable and appreciated by the garden than entire days or weekend visits. “When you make short visits they will get longer and that is where the therapy is … the trees and magpies, the local kookaburras. “They know when to kick off of a morning and then when I come home. “That only happens by being around. As you notice, it encourages you to look closer. “We generally look but don’t see.’’ When Costa is not in the garden you might catch him refereeing a rugby game, not just to keep fit but to keep in touch with the people in his area. He’s been reffing them since they were kids and, in typical Costa fashion, says it’s simply a nice thing to do. It’s also a way of relaxing from a busy world. He turns up and for that 70 or 80 minutes and is just focused on is what’s happening on the field. In a career that takes in landscape architecture and winning the 2019 Australian Logies award for the Most Popular Presenter, he likes to live in the present rather than name one era ahead of another. “The best is right now.’’ And who would he like to sit with in his garden? “David Attenborough, so I can sit next to him everyday and tap into him every day for his knowledge. And to listen to his voice.’’ Costa’s passion about the health of the environment is so infectious - the health of ecosystems, support of nature’s systems, use of nature’s systems to regenerate her. After all, the whole world’s a garden and we need to look after that garden. AIH Award Winners - Queensland: Green Space Events & Engagement Award – Queensland Garden Expo, Nambour.

More Land For Houses Perhaps councillors past and present should stop firing shots at each other and look to the supply and approval process for land and development as one avenue to help solve the affordable housing crisis. Rigid regulation and restrictive land use zoning creates low supply and is directly related to house prices. Simple economics. Stephen Gage, Noosa
Black Is Not Cool On A Bike Re: NT letters 18/5 Jen Oakley/John Robinson Perfect Jen and John I could not agree more with both letters. Been cycling for 72 years now and always make sure - just like many of the Tour de France teams, most of whom wear really bright attractive colours - that I and my bike are as visible as possible against the black of the road surface. This idea that black looks cool is a no brainer, black does not look COOL be it cyclists, cars, houses, fences, walls etc.. etc.., we live in a beautiful place and black just does not score any points as it represents a city mind
set. Apparently even Bogan Bay in Northern New South Wales, to add to it’s already poor image, has been swamped by the cool black epidemic. If one wants to wear black and cycle/run/ walk or push the stroller - especially with things stuck in your ears on the black roads - please, please do not walk with your back to the traffic always walk facing it. That was one of the first survival instructions I was taught at school and that was before drivers on mobile phones, drugs etc.. Stay safe not cool. Stuart, Peregian Beach

Warm Up Without Fire How wonderful winter is here in Noosa and Tewantin. Isn’t it just divine to sit in front of a blazing log fire enjoying the eye-watering heat and flickering flames?There you are warm as toast indoors, or enjoying an outdoor fire which has been waiting all summer to be ignited. I suppose the coal burning power stations are making enough carbon dioxide to make your contribution to the greenhouse gas effect negligible and I suppose it is, but think on. As you watch all the products of combustion rise up the chimney or up into the air, have you ever thought where it may end up? Well, I can tell you. It pollutes the whole neighbourhood. As the hot toxic gases rise up to meet the
cold air they cool. Most chimneys have ’T’ pieces on the top so the smoke travels horizontally and as it cools it starts to descend and unfortunately for your close neighbours they have to retire indoors to get away from the foul smells and potentially dangerous fumes. Even then the stench can penetrate the house. This is becoming a real issue such that Asthma Australia, who are particularly concerned on the plight of asthmatics, are promoting efforts to reduce open hearth fires for heating. What a travesty when we live in one of the most unpolluted places on the coast and in a biosphere no less, and we still have to contend with acrid smoke.Winter is a wonderful time when, if our neighbours allow, we can sit out in our gardens and on our verandas and enjoy the winter sunshine and not be bothered by summer insects and the oppressive heat and humidity. So don’t light that fire, put on an extra jumper and warm trousers. Do your bit to keep the harmony amongst your neighbours and keep the atmosphere in Noosa and Tewantin smoke free.Thank you. ‘Kipper’, Tewantin

36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 June, 2021
While Tourism Noosa debates its funding model with Noosa Council – a model which sees a Tourism and Environment Levy share a paltry $2.52m to TN to generate $1b in economic value - I’ve received an electronic promotion from one of the biggest tourist accommodation businesses in Noosa. And another from TN itself promoting Noosa Biosphere Reserve. Still other promotional messaging touts Noosa’s win as the Best Tourist Town in Queensland. All good stuff which adds up to a strong Brand Noosa. If anything, underpinning the value of the brand should see much more contributed to TN and synergistic partnership Biosphere Foundation programs. How might we better fund these organisations to secure their continuity of excellence and grow Brand Noosa sustainably?
Michael Donovan It seems to me that one particular economic sector is ‘piggy-backing’ on the brand. Sure, they pay a membership fee to
TN and even participate in co-op marketing of Noosa but this is small in comparison to the gross turnover they generate. I refer to real estate sales. Could it be the ‘attractiveness’ of living in Noosa is because of the strong brand equity (reputation) generated by tourism and our UNESCO status driving demand and desire to live here and consequently sustain property values? What could be achieved by TN and Biosphere Foundation if a levy of just one per cent was applied to property sales in Noosa and dedicated to adequately funding both organisations? Time for real estate sales to ‘pay-thepiper’! Michael Donovan, Former chair Tourism Noosa and Noosa Biosphere Reserve

UNESCO wants voices Currently the Constitution of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) dictates that membership is open only to the NBRF’s own directors and ex-directors - a ‘closed shop’ model that neither aligns with UNESCO’s concept of involving local communities in management nor with its emphasis on promoting innovative approaches to economic development. The citizens of Noosa can still be hopeful that NBRF chair Rex Halvorsen’s new approach to Biosphere leadership will address these two important but neglected matters. This can be done easily by changing its Constitution, especially to enable the inclusion of members from the community at large. In 2014, soon after de-amalgamation, then mayor Noel Playford and councillor Tony Wellington set about dismantling the original Noosa Biosphere Ltd (NBL). Wellington had persistently claimed in his Gumshoe newsletter that NBL had “failed miserably” to garner sponsorship, that it had “shown little interest in pursuing UNESCO’s objectives” and that it had not delivered on “the promise made to UNESCO and the Noosa community that the Biosphere would be run by a democratic, community-based Incorporated association”. So, in 2014, when then councillors Playford and Wellington had the opportunity to implement their own ideas for the Biosphere, they dismantled the former NBL and established the new NBRF with its own Constitution. The problem was - and remains - that it has the same deficiencies they accused its predecessor of having. It was not the model UNESCO thought it would get. The Paris-based UNESCO was always clear on its intent for the Man and Biosphere Program under which the Noosa Biosphere operates: “Man and the Biosphere combines the natural and social sciences, economics and education to improve human livelihoods and the equitable sharing of benefits, and to safeguard natural and managed ecosystems, thus promoting innovative approaches to economic development that are socially and culturally appropriate, and environmentally sustainable.” The emphasis was clearly on people and economic development in compatibility with the environment. UNESCO went further to prescribe that Biosphere reserves should have “highly innovative and participative governance systems [ ... ] focusing on a multi-stakeholder approach with particular emphasis on the involvement of local communities in management”. However, when the NBRF Constitution was approved by Noosa Council in November 2014 it stated the NBRF’s principal purpose as “pro-
Ingrid Jackson tecting and enhancing the natural environment” and its membership consisting only of its directors and ex-directors. The community
at large had been effectively cut out from participation. Noosa Council’s initial $250,000 annually to
NBRF for grants came from the Environment Levy, so was constrained to use for environmental purposes. Much later an $80,000 economic grant was utilised. Once NBRF was incorporated as a company under its own Constitution, the CEO regularly reminded councillors that the Council has no authority to influence it or its decisions. The only roles for the Council were providing it with funds and appointing a Councillor as a director. In those early days, the Council also gave seed funding to the establishment of a separate organisation, the Noosa Community Biosphere Association (NCBA), which was purported to represent the public. But this organisation gave the community no voice in the NBRF, where all the authority and funding resided. The NBCA was, in effect, a sop. When I was elected to Noosa Council in early 2016, there was much community concern and controversy focused on NBRF. Finally, in June 2017, then mayor Wellington distanced himself by stepping aside from being a NBRF director, handing the role to his deputy Frank Wilkie. In August 2018 the Council approved the 10-Year Periodic Review of NBRF as required by UNESCO. It was later disclosed that the contractor who prepared the draft report was bullied and undermined, and the final report was rewritten by a senior councillor to reflect a better image of Noosa Council and the NBRF. Around the same time there was significant community anger about NBRF distributing a disproportionate number of grants to community organisations associated with its own directors and former directors. As a result, the Council decided to withdraw the grant funding power from NBRF and distribute environmental grants itself. But the Council continues to fund NBRF’s operations by $100-$140,000 a year. Despite being strongly urged to democratise its membership and open itself to community participation, NBRF continues to be a closed shop which receives operational funding drawn from council’s general rates. The Noosa community still cannot become members or have a say in its operations or priorities. And the Constitution is still biased to favour environmental initiatives rather than UNESCO’s vision of people living sustainably and prosperously within the environment. The current NBRF Directors were not party to this history, however should be expected to understand UNESCO’s mandate and the need to operate according to “participative governance systems”. It may take some courage, but the Board owes it to the Noosa community that funds its operations and activities to render these necessary changes. And it is entirely within NBRF’s power to do this.

Architect paints artistry The meandering Mary River and the old valley railway were the inspiration for Geoffrey Webber when he decided to participate in an innovative exhibition at the Mary Valley Art Festival on July 22-25. Mary Valley Alive celebrates the Mary Valley Art Festival’s 20th anniversary, telling the story of the valley through its flora, fauna and people. Twenty guest artists will interpret the theme by painting plinths to be displayed with artworks from the original Mary Valley Alive exhibit, which is comprised of art from the Traveston Crossing Dam era. The architect turned artist said his theme for the plinth was a personal one. “I retired with my artist girlfriend and wife, Narelle some 15 years ago, to Mary Valley country, simply because we both loved the peace and quiet of country regions,” Geoffrey said. “I was keen to chase more trains and Narelle wanted to continue painting.” They soon became actively involved in the Traveston Crossing Dam campaign, and learned to appreciate the wonderful attributes that the river and the valley townships offered. “And just like the railway threaded its way through the valley and connected with townships, so did the river too,” Geoffrey said. “I treated the four sides of the plinth and the top, quite a large surface - about a metre square - as a three-dimensional work of art, highlighting some of our activities and interests.” Using acrylic paints, he painted the images so they wrapped around the four sides of the plinth over a period of three weeks. “It’s been an exciting project, on top of my recent return to life drawing with Pat Cale in Imbil. “My life revolves around my volunteering with the Valley Rattler, reconnecting with my art interests, our artist friends, kayaking on the

The rich prize pool over $8000 includes the Bendigo Bank Open Award of $2500, nine categories for adults, and a Youth Award for 12-17-year-olds.

WHAT’S ON
Stage is set to explode Sunshine Beach local and family patriarch David Williamson is widely recognised as Australia’s most successful playwright. His play Up for Grabs, written in 2001, will explode upon the Noosa Arts Theatre stage on July 22 but be warned, it’s not for the fainthearted. Over the last fifty years his plays have been performed throughout Australia and produced in Britain, United States, Canada and many European and Asian countries. Altogether he has written twelve screenplays and five miniseries, including The Four Minute Mile for the BBC and The Last Bastion about General McArthur’s arrival in Australia in World War 2, which was sold all over the world. Up for Grabs is a visceral, blunt and confronting roller-coaster ride. It may even shock you. Just to make it even more watchable, David’s son Rory Williamson, now running his own successful real estate agency Williamson & Co in Noosa Junction, after moving to Noosa in 2016, will direct his father’s play. Rory last appeared on stage at Noosa Arts Theatre in another of David’s plays, Jack of Hearts in 2017. He grew up in Balmain in Sydney and graduated from NIDA in 1999 as an actor, his first role out was starring in New Zealand’s favourite serial Shortland Street as Dr Paul Exley. Following that you may have seen him on Paper Giants, Underbelly Badness, All Saints and Home & Away. He then produced the AFI award winning documentary That Sugar Film in 2015, about the evils of sugar, a passion project that also got him noticed. Sydney based actor Felix Williamson, Rory’s stepbrother and one of David’s other sons, also a NIDA graduate, will play Manny, a successful entrepreneur with a dark secret, in Up for Grabs. Felix has had a long and successful career
Felix, David and Rory Williamson at Noosa Arts Theatre. in film and TV, memorably playing Paul Keating in Hawke. Roles in The Great Gatsby, Palm Beach, Rake, Mabo, Backyard Ashes, Underbelly: Razor, Dirty Deeds and many others followed, including writing, directing and acting in Avalon Now, a hilarious, observational take on pretentiousness on the Northern Beaches in Sydney.

Art Prize finalists named Hundreds of entries poured in from every state for the prestigious 2021 Sunshine Coast Art Prize, and finalists include Cooroy local Trevor Purvis and Jennifer Herd from Eumundi. The 40 finalists were selected from 425 submissions across a range of genres including painting, drawing, photography, printing, textiles and assemblage. Arts Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said the Sunshine Coast Art Prize was an increasingly important regional showcase event and motivational art award. “The calibre of entries continues to be
impressive, full of embedded meaning and drama and each year the artworks bring a new perspective on what’s happening,” Cr Baberowski said. “We continue to attract an ever expanding and extensive range of entries from both wellknown and emerging artists&mdash;it’s genuinely exciting that 2D practice across Australia is thriving.” The Sunshine Coast Art Prize exhibition of all 40 finalists will be on display at the Caloundra Regional Gallery from 27 August to 10 October. The lucrative prizes will be awarded to the
winning artists at The Winners’ Announcement gala event on 23 September. Gallery Director Jo Duke said the judged category winners would be selected by Renai Grace, Director/CEO of the Museum of Brisbane, who has more than 25 years’ experience in the arts and cultural sector. “The standard of finalist works in this year’s exhibition is remarkable. We are delighted to have Renai joining as guest judge, bringing her expertise to the challenging task of choosing this year’s Sunshine Coast Art Prize winners,” Ms Duke said. “There are six Sunshine Coast locals in the
finalist selection, which demonstrates the creative talent we have right here in our region.” The major prize winner will receive $25,000 cash, sponsored by Argon Law Sunshine Coast and Sunshine Coast Council, with the winning artwork acquired into the Sunshine Coast Art Collection. Exhibition visitors are invited to vote for their favourite work to select the People’s Choice Prize winner, which is awarded to the artwork which receives the most votes. Finalist works are available to view online now at gallery.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review
Well, the bar is a bit Irish.
Picture: SUPPLIED
Linguini bolognese.
Ireland does job on Italy Trevor Pepys reviews Cornerstone Pub and Kitchen No, it’s not the result of a European soccer match, it’s the result of Trev taking an unexpected pan-European culinary tour while seeking out comfort food in Noosa Junction. It began when Trev confided in an old mate over a morning coffee that he was jonesing for some fair dinkum stodgy comfort food after a couple too many bottles of cheap but colourfully packaged Tempranillo the night before. “The parmi at the Cornerstone is just the ticket,” the mate said. What, said Trev, Italian at an Irish pub? “That’s the beauty of it,” said the mate, leaving Trev somewhat perplexed and remembering past experiences of Irish pubs, in, of all places, Ireland, where you were as likely to find a parmi on the menu as you were to find the exit after lock-in. Yes, soon after the Paris period, Trev in his youth became enamoured of the Irish literary greats, and eager to emulate the drunken feats of Joyce and Behan while scribbling works of exquisite genius on the backs of soggy beer coasters in the corners of smoky bar rooms, off he toddled to Dublin’s Temple Bar. For months he would start the day with a pint at The Brazen Head (Ireland’s oldest pub, established
1198, beloved of Joyce) and finish it at the relatively modern Temple Bar itself (established 1840, and a haunt of Behan). This was good fun, but hard on the liver, so in need of fresh air between sessions, and the beer coaster novel temporarily bogged down, he hitched a ride to County Donegal on the west coast with a couple of Noosa surfers, where he took a room at the Bridge Hotel in Bundoran and watched the waves wash through The Peak each morning before taking a pint at Brennan’s. The back bar at The Bridge was where Trev became acquainted with the lock-in, a quaint Irish custom where at closing time the publican locks the door but keeps the taps flowing, and no one is allowed to leave until everyone has finished drinking. All of which is to say that Trev more or less knows his Irish pub grub, and the Cornerstone Pub doesn’t serve it, or at least not Trev’s favourites such as stew and soda bread, nor do they offer boxty, a potato cake so good that a bunch of fat blokes in Bundoran named their band after it. That said, they do offer a relatively cheap and cheerful list of burgers, pizza, pasta and, of course, Frank McCourt’s favourite, chicken parmigiana. In fact, they’ve gone quite silly over this modest dish, with no fewer than six options. Trev deliberated over which to choose,
while wetting the whistle with a cheeky bottle of Lavau rose ($32) from the Cote du Rhone, another Irish fave, and eventually passed on the Afterburner, the Mexi and the Ploughman’s, and settled on the Traditional ($23). The missus opted for a linguini Bolognese ($20), we settled into a booth with a clear view of ESPN sports on the big screen and the door through which youngish thugs streamed to knock back a pint or two before a performance of someone called Argie Bargie, or similar, at The J across the street. The linguini was pretty much as advertised, the Bolognese sauce not quite in generous enough proportions to overcome the stodginess of the pasta, but stodge was what we’d come for, and it wasn’t half bad. Trev’s traditional parmi, on the other hand, was huge and hugely tasty, just what the doctor ordered, with a mountain of thin cut chips and a bit of green for garnish. Trev smothered the side of gravy, meant for the chips, over everything and cleaned the plate. Yum. The verdict: Hardly authentic, but Cornerstone is a busy, breezy, fun place to devour a guilty pleasure like comfort food. Cornerstone Pub and Kitchen, cnr Sunshine Beach Road and Noosa Drive, Noosa Junction. Phone 5448 0746.

Horizon Festival line-up
A moving ceremony and performance, directed by Gubbi Gubbi Songman Lyndon Davis. Dr Bradley said the team came together in March and, over the next few months, are rehearsing ’80s-inspired dance routines that pay homage to the rock eisteddfods of decades past. “Common People Dance Eisteddfod is an amazing project hailing from Brisbane that brings people of all ages and abilities together through dance and performance. Common People will be a highlight of the program and really speaks to our commitment to creating opportunities for the community to get involved and to connect with each other through art,” Dr Bradley said. “The Spiegeltent program also includes hands-on workshops led by local artists, a poetry slam-night with The Bunker Spoken Word Series and a Disco Rainbow Sparkle Dance Party for kids.” Each afternoon audiences can enjoy the sunset in the Wonderland Spiegeltent Garden with a free nightly program of Live + Local music accompanied by tasty local brews and eats. Community Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said the festival also had an interesting and consciously thought-provoking youth program. “One show I’m particularly looking forward to is a unique performance where nine to 13 year olds ask challenging questions of grownups,” Cr Baberowski said. “I’ve Been Meaning To Ask You is a fantastic way to give our youth a voice and to introduce
Common People Dance. them to the performing arts all at the same time. “It’s also a much-needed opportunity to showcase some of our emerging local talent who may go on to decide their calling is a career on the screen and stage.”
Horizon Festival will operate in line with full COVID-safe protocols and with patron and artist safety a priority. More information about COVID protocols can be found on horizonfestival.com.au where you can also view the full program and book tickets.

Horizon Festival, the Sunshine Coast’s premier arts and cultural celebration, is back in 2021, with 10 inspirational days and nights of music, visual art, theatre, dance, film, spoken word, and comedy. The iconic festival runs from Friday 27 August to Sunday 5 September bringing together local and national artists to offer vibrant, immersive and entertaining experiences for all ages. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the festival was an exciting celebration of the arts. “Horizon is a great example of Sunshine Coast Council and our community working together to create a festival that pushes boundaries and surprises and delights all in attendance,” Mayor Jamieson said. “Our region’s arts and cultural sector is thriving and, in its sixth year, Horizon Festival is well on its way to becoming a cultural highlight on the national arts calendar.” Horizon Festival Artistic Director Dr Lynne Bradley said this year’s festival shone a spotlight on the extraordinary talents of local Sunshine Coast and Queensland-based artists. “The all-Queensland line-up offers local audiences and visitors to the Coast the chance to experience a high quality and accessible artistic program, set against the spectacular backdrop of the region,” Dr Bradley said. “The natural environment and issues such as climate change feature throughout the program, with many projects inspired by, and set within, this region’s very special landscape including Lake Baroon, Glass House Mountains, Chambers Island and Happy Valley. “Deeply connected to Country and community, local Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) and Jinibara artists are central to this year’s festival. “The First Nations’ program includes the much-celebrated ceremonial performance, Dawn Awakening, at Stumers Creek on Sunday 5 September, large-scale outdoor visual arts projections, Kabi Kabi Connections, and an array of rich cultural offerings throughout the region.” This year, Horizon Festival cranks the lever on excitement with a festival hub like no other. The Wonderland Spiegeltent will take centre stage overlooking the water at Cotton Tree Park, bringing with it a program of world-class cabaret, comedy, circus, dance and theatre. Never before seen on the Coast, the Wonderland Spiegeltent, built in the 1920s, is an opulent travelling pavilion boasting ballooning velvet canopies, ornate stained glass windows and an intimate interior that will charm and delight audiences. The Spiegeltent program will host a hugely diverse range of shows from the adults-only Club Briefs by Briefs Factory International and stand-up comedy Black Out featuring Yidinji comedian Steph Tisdell and friends, to Circus Wonderland - A Mermaid’s Tale, a heart-warming circus show for the whole family. Sunshine Coast dance gladiators will battle it out on the Wonderland Spiegeltent stage in an over-the-top explosion of sequins, sweat and spandex, in the Common People Dance Eisteddfod.

Jenna Sanders, owner of Kenilworth Country Bakery.
Jenna Sanders has transformed a small country bakery into a weekend destination.
NEWS
The popular donut selection at Kenilworth Country Bakery.
Selling 5000 donuts daily From four donuts a day to 5000 on a Saturday morning, Jenna Sanders has transformed a small country bakery into a weekend destination for visitors from far and wide. Her recipe for success is simple: hard work, social media and great customer service. Jenna said her vision when she bought the bakery in the small hinterland town of Kenilworth four years ago, was to create a place for families to visit on the weekend. “My family has been in the bakery business for three generations. I was looking to relocate to the Sunshine Coast, and we’d come across the 97-year-old Kenilworth Country Bakery,” Jenna said. “I drove out to have a look and I could see right away that Kenilworth was a destination, and the bakery had so much character and even more potential.
“Kenilworth is a scenic 45-minute drive from anywhere on the Sunshine Coast. There are beautiful playgrounds, the Cheese Factory, amazing water holes and hiking trails but there was a lack of good quality wholesome food on offer. It was a great opportunity and I knew if I could just get it out into the world people would want to come and visit.” “When we started, we were making just a few donuts a day and it’s not actually my forte. My family are pie makers and that has been my background for the past 15 years, so we’ve had to learn how to make donuts really quickly,” Jenna said. The road to success for the Kenilworth Country Bakery hasn’t been smooth but Jenna’s resilience and quick-thinking during the COVID-19 pandemic is the reason why Jenna is a Sunshine Coast Local Business Champion. “During COVID-19 we were forced to think
NOOSA: Shop 4, Seahaven Resort, 13 Hastings Street T: 07-5474 5871
on our feet and change our business model fast to offer home deliveries,” Jenna said. “Kenilworth is just over 50km from most places so during the lockdown, no one could drive out here. It absolutely ruined the town and ruined the bakery. We were getting 10 customers each day as opposed to 300. “We delivered from Kenilworth to the south side of Brisbane. It was really tiring, and money was tight. We had to work hard to keep our staff, including two Nepalese bakers who we sponsor. “It was a very big panic to keep things going and a lot of 18-hour days making orders then delivering them into the night. Surviving that, not knowing how long it was going to last, was really challenging.” A few months later, Queensland’s lockdown was lifted, and the small-town bakery got flooded with day-trippers from across south-
east Queensland and beyond. Jenna soon doubled her staff and leased the shop next door to keep up with the demand for her food. She borrowed a stop-go sign from the local SES and hired someone to manage the lines of people that ran from her bakery to the end of the main street in Kenilworth. Sunshine Coast Council Economic Development Portfolio Councillor Terry Landsberg said the Kenilworth Bakery was a great example of small businesses doing big things for our region. “Council recognises how important small businesses are to our local economy which is why we developed the Local Business Champions series,” Cr Landsberg said. “I commend the Kenilworth Bakery for its success and for showcasing the very best of our Sunshine Coast hinterland and attracting visitors to the region.“

Spotlight on bullies A Sunshine Coast mum and primary school teacher has written a book highlighting the effects of school-yard bullying which will soon be launched in Noosa. Lisa Edgar said bullying in our society has become quite systemic and suggests we need to have conversations about it with children from a young age. To stimulate these conversations she has recently written and published her first children’s book titled ‘The Playground Hero’. “As a primary school teacher and a mum, I’ve spent a lot of time around children. And in doing so I’ve seen a lot of bullying, and I’ve also seen many acts of kindness,“ Lisa said. “I wrote this book to put a spotlight on both of these topics and to hopefully give parents a tool to influence their children in a positive way.“ The Playground Hero is a heartfelt and beautifully illustrated story about a school boy named Jack who doesn’t have any friends, and explores the hurtful feelings of being lonely, isolated and bullied. It also shows how sport can be a great way to bring a group of very different kids together and find common ground. According to the Australian Government’s Institute of Health and Welfare, 60 per cent of children aged 8-12yrs have experienced two or more bullying behaviours which can include verbal, physical, social and cyber bullying.
Children victims of bullying are also more likely to have poor academic performance, at risk of struggling with transition points throughout life, more likely to have mental health concerns and are at higher risk of suicide. “I’m hoping the book will become a call to action for children to make a positive difference in somebody else’s life through inclusion. It is a perfect example of modelling to children the actions underpinning the words which are quite simply, ‘be kind, always’“, Lisa said. The book will be launched at Noosa Yacht and Rowing club on Saturday 24 July from 2:30pm to 4:30pm. Tickets are $30 including a copy of the book, drink on arrival and canapes. The event is child friendly. Grab your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-playground-hero-booklaunch- tickets-158664422559 The book is available for just $25 (including postage and handling) online from lisaedgarauthor.com.
Lisa Edgar who lives on the Sunshine Coast with her two children (aged 6 and 8 years) has written her first children’s book titled ‘The Playground Hero’.

A change of the season These last few week’s we have really seen and felt a change in the season. We now have cold evening temps below 10 degrees and mid 20 degree daytime temps. This has seen the sea temps drop to low 20 degrees and with that the tuna have pretty much gone from the local waters. Big Spanish mackerel continue to patrol the shallow reef areas in search of baitfish. This makes trolling a viable option with a whole bonito and a Citer chin guard which ensures the bait tracks straight and looks natural. With the weather gods smiling down many anglers went out wide to find the deeper reefs and the snapper that are holding there. The Banks are proving one of the better options with snapper over 80cm and pearlies around 60cm showing up. There are also some unstoppable amberjack which provide a heap of fun if you enjoy pain! Take a look at the new range of Shimano Ocea jigger reels if looking to jig for bigger fish. Be sure you match this with Ocea braid and a PE4-6 or 6-8 rod and hold on. North Reef has been popular as has Double Island Point with the bigger boats. Drifting the rubble grounds and following contour lines is a great way to find big patches of condensed bait. Once found you could be catching anything from an amberjack to a trevally with a host of others in between. Jewfish are tending to show up and will take anything from jigs, plastics and baits. If you want to target one on a plastic then try Gulp Nemesis. The swimming action coupled with the scent is a great trigger any big fish can’t refuse. They will also take big strips of mullet making the Mustad Octo/circle in size 7/0 a great hook for a corner of the mouth hook up. Closer in the fishing was a little harder, but a few Spanish have been caught along with smaller snapper to 60cm around Sunshine Reef. There are a few sharks about and depending on their mood they like the occasional snapper. Be sure you are fishing with 25-30lb mono or braid so you can apply a little more pressure. For a hard wearing mono take a look at Schneider which has been the standard of many charter boats for many years because it is very tough and great on the reefs. Coral trout are still about and there are reports of yakkas in big numbers. Nothing appeals to a trout more than a live bait so make sure you check the shallower reefs of halls and load up with some livies. The evening next week features high tides after dark which works well for land based jewie anglers. Come in and grab some premium mullet fillets and have a shot at a silver ghost this winter. Daytime fishing continues to produce dart, bream, GT and a few tailor are starting to filter through. Inside the Noosa River we are seeing some chunky tailor and GT that must have followed the bait during the evening high tides following last week’s new moon. Both of these fish
Quality coral trout from a recent Cougar One charter to Sunshine Reef. lend themselves to lure fishing and make a great target for surface fishing and soft plastic fishing. The larger 90mm Bassday Sugapen will work well for both species especially during the morning high tides. Flatties along the drop offs, Frying Pan, river mouth and current line are still around the smaller mid 50cm size. There is the occasional larger fish getting caught and at 75cm and over they must be released with many anglers releasing fish at 65cm to help protect the fishery. Upriver the cleaner saltier water will see small schools of jewies and GT hitting up the baitfish. With the clarity of the river improving weekly the salinity of the river will start to increase as you head up toward the between the lakes stretch. This can be an excellent area to slow troll and drift while flicking lures. Watch line and leader thickness and keep to that 8-12lb mark. This will ensure that presentation stays optimal while working your lure. Pair this with a Keitech plastic for the best action. The smaller 3 inch Easy Shiner has accounted for many great fish over the years as it resembles a baitfish typical of the river. Freshwater fishing remains constant with smaller fish schooling up. Over the next month

Deb Atkinson boated this thumper 16kg cobia at Hall’s Reef. It went for a whole pilchard floater. you can expect to find big concentrations of fish hanging around the main basin’s and dam walls. As mentioned in previous weeks these fish still go through their natural response to breed but can’t because of the walls in their way. Winter time is a great time to fish jigs on bass and the Hot Bite spoons work very well. Once you find out which retrieve works best enjoy.

Hazards are half the fun The Cooroy veterans sure know how to have fun. How else do you explain last week’s astonishing Ambrose competition – an event that has become one of the highlights of the vets’ golfing calendar? It was the brainchild of greens superintendent Todd McNamee, who three years ago answered the vets’ challenge to set up something really special for their midweek encounter. The golfers who teed off on that fateful Wednesday found all sorts of unusual obstacles in their way – and it became a special challenge for the vets to get through relatively unscathed. The annual event became known as the Vets v Greens Staff Challenge – even though the greenkeepers never actually swung a club. Last week Todd excelled himself. Players found a toilet seat protecting the cup on the first hole, a ramp on the second green, sprinklers on the third, a tractor in the bunker on the fourth, three new trees in front of the fifth green, aliens dressed in Parramatta jerseys guarding the 15th green and empty drums on the 18th green. And those were the easy holes! The obstacles did not seem to cause much difficulty for the winning team – Andrew Dick, Mike Smith, Rick Lenske and Jim Lenske, who returned a commendable score of 56 and three-eighths. But the real winners, according to Vets secretary Rod Booth, were the greens staff, whose efforts were much appreciated by the players. “Our Vets are as much about the social side as playing the game,” he said. “But it’s surprising how all these obstacles actually make you think your way around the course.” This year’s Vets v Greens Staff event marked Todd McNamee’s last day at Cooroy. He’s accepted the role of superintendent at Mt Coolum. Slow start by Noosa in pennants Defending champion Noosa, buoyed this year by fielding two teams in A grade pennants competition, started the season slowly on Sunday with both teams tasting defeat. Noosa’s big guns George Giblett, Toby Harding and Sam Boulden all went down in their clash with Caloundra. Cooper Clarke and Alex Officer scored good wins, and Tama Stana and Ryan Mulder tied their matches. But Caloundra still scored a narrow 4-3 win in first round competition. The Noosa 1 team – whose only winners were Grant Baker and Shane Dunning – found the powerful Maroochy River too strong, going down 5-2. In B grade, Noosa again tasted defeat – losing 5-2 to newcomers Tin Can Bay – and Noosa Springs lost a cliffhanger, going down 4-3 to Nambour. Cooroy, however, beat Twin Waters 5-2, thanks to wins by Marc Bright, Lee Grainger, Kaleb Hamilton, Pat Carroll and Mitch Davies. In the Masters division, Cooroy were again successful, beating Twin Waters 5.5-1.5, while Noosa drew 3.5-3.5 with Tin Can Bay, and Noosa Springs narrowly lost 4-3 to Nambour. Sunday leads her team into final SUNDAY Moore, with a comfortable 4&3 win over Maroochy River’s Ellandi Findlay, led her in-form all-girl team into the final of the zone junior pennant competition on Sunday. Sunday and team-mate Jasmine Lena were winners in the semi-final clash with Maroochy River 2 at Peregian. Their Noosa Springs 1 team scored a 2-1 win to earn a place in the final against the powerful Maroochy River 3 team, led by 13-year-old scratch marker Iona Muir. The Noosa Springs girls have been beaten only once this season – a first-round 3-0 defeat by the same team they will meet in the final, which will be played at Gympie from 7.30am on Sunday. Two Classics on the drawing board The Sunshine Coast Winter Golf Classic has been so well received organisers are now con50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 June, 2021
Better players can help you TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER When looking at improving your own game, never be frightened of stepping out of your comfort zone and playing with better players or in stronger tournaments at tougher courses. Initially, it can be a very daunting thing to do, however your game inevitably will appreciate it and will be lifted to their levels rather than possibly being dragged down. Learn from them as much as you can – things like course management, self-management, club selection and rhythm. Pro-ams are also a great way to learn by playing alongside some of Australia’s best professional golfers. Golf is the only sport which provides this opportunity and it’s an opportunity that one shouldn’t miss out on when it comes along. Better players are normally the more experienced players. Learn as much as you can from them and don’t be frightened to ask lots of questions. Good golfing.
Cooroy vet Mike Kent ponders how much break to allow for the toilet seat guarding the first hole. sidering presenting the annual tournament twice a year. Aimed at showcasing the Sunshine Coast’s outstanding golf courses, the Classic was first played last October – held over from June because of COVID-19 restrictions. The second was staged this month with a capacity field of 120 players, the vast majority from outside the region. Organisers were thrilled with the feedback from competitors, and are looking at the possibility of holding two events next year – a Sunshine Coast Winter Classic in mid-winter, and a Spring Classic later in the year. The 72-hole tournament, played under stableford conditions, is targeted at club golfers and is contested in two divisions for men, and one for women, with daily prizes. Golfers play at Maroochy River, Peregian, Noosa Springs and Twin Waters over four days. A midweek rest day was scheduled this year to allow players and their partners to take in the sights of the Sunshine Coast. Mark Brady, the executive general manager of Noosa Springs and one of the event organisers, said if COVID-19 restrictions continued to ease, it was hoped to attract more players from interstate and New Zealand next year. “We’ve learned a lot from the first two Classics and we’re hopeful this will become a major event, and have a positive impact on our region’s economy,” he said. Ladies Series soon at Noosa Springs Time is running out to register for the second round of Noosa Springs’ Ladies Golf Series, where golf is only part of the attraction. An 18-hole stableford event is played in the morning, but what follows is just as much fun. Noosa Springs serves up a gourmet lunch, complete with a glass of sparkling wine, and offers the chance of being pampered at its renowned day spa. Those who play in two of the three scheduled Ladies Golf Series will go into a draw to win a half day Spa Escape, plus four rounds of golf at Noosa Springs in an electric cart. The prize will be drawn after the final round on December 7. The cost is $104 ($39 for Noosa Springs members). Call the Golf Shop on 5440 3325 for

Katja Dedekind training at the USC pool last year.
Spartan swimmers shine Outstanding performances by five USC Spartans swimmers at last week’s national trials in Adelaide have earned them places in the Australian teams headed for the Tokyo Games. Kaylee McKeown, who broke a world record in the women’s 100m backstroke, will compete in that event at the Olympics to be held from 23 July to 8 August. McKeown, 19, of Redcliffe, will also compete in the 200m backstroke, after she beat her own Commonwealth record in that race this week, and in the 200m individual medley.
Her Spartans coach Chris Mooney is in the Australian Olympics coaching team. Katja Dedekind, Ben Hance, Keira Stephens and Ruby Storm were last night named on the team for the Paralympics, to be held from 24 August to 5 September. All but 19-year-old Katja, a current USC Arts student, are Olympic debutants. Katja, who took bronze in 100m backstroke at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, broke her own Australian record this week in the S13 (visually impaired) 50m freestyle multi-class final.
Ben, 20, Keira, 18, and Ruby, 17, are eager to show the world the results of their training by Spartans coach Nathan Doyle, named in the Australian Paralympics coaching team with head coach, USC Professor Brendan Burkett. Keira, who moved from Hervey Bay to the Sunshine Coast this year, is studying Social and Human Services at USC. Professor Burkett, Director of High Performance Sport at USC, said the whole University community was proud of the Spartans’ performances.
Noosa croquet club hosts regional event The Regional Golf Croquet Division 2 Championship was held on May 22nd at the Noosa Croquet Club courts in Noosa Waters. This had to be delayed as they were originally set for that period of terrible weather during March. Clubs all round the Sunshine Coast were represented. This was a very successful tournament won by Sue Green from the Bribie Island Club. Good weather, great competition, a full Ruling of referees (the group decided this was the best collective noun for this group), and court conditions praised by all competitors made this a most successful event. The organiser are to be congratulated. The Shield competition, for players with a medium handicap, also continues and the Noosa team travelled to Bribie Island on Monday 17th May. They had a good win, beating Bribie Island 8 wins to 2. All players had two wins each, the standout being Mike Studley who won all his three games for the day. Well done Mike. On 14th June the team travelled to Headland/Buderim and did not do so well, going down 8 - 2. Sally Stopps and Mike Studley each had one win. The Shield team will be near the top of the ladder. On Monday 24th May, the Plate team (high handicaps) played Coolum Club at Noosa. The result was a very close. Games were level at the end of play, and a countback showed that both teams had the same number of hoops, so a tie was declared and the points shared. Teresa Martin, Susie Locke and Lorry Ryan all had two wins each for Noosa. On 21st June, the Plate team had a very good win against Caloundra at the Noosa courts. Sally Walker and Teresa Martin both went well with wins in both their 2 singles and the doubles! The Pennant team of low handicappers played Headland at Headland on 7th June and lost 6 - 4. Niven Gugich, John Dark and Rob Moncrieff each won one singes game, and Niven Gugich and Rob Moncrieff also won their doubles game. On June 21st they played Nambour at Nambour and had a good 6 - 4 win. Rob Moncrieff and Galina Makarova did well. This will also put this team near the top of the ladder. All teams are doing well in this competition period, congratulations to all players.
Action on the courts during regionals.
“From the world record set this week by Kaylee to the world record set by Ben in his 100m backstroke event earlier this year, the results are a real credit to the work these athletes have done over this campaign,” he said. “Chris Mooney, Nathan Doyle and the support staff led by Dr Mark McKean have done a great job. “We now move into staging and preparation camps here at USC then north to Townsville and Cairns before heading to Tokyo.“

Thousands attend event Not even Covid could curb the enthusiasm of over 1500 people who attended the vintage motorcycle event, the TeamMoto Classic Weekend, presented by Motul. Terrific weather, a great turn out, amazing bikes, skilled riders, positive vibes and tons of punters loved the vintage action at Green Park, Conondale over the weekend. The event hosted 400 riders, over 1000 spectators with the help of over 150 volunteers, sponsors and staff. Saturday was a huge day of activity with riding kicking off at 9am, riders in all pre-1995 dirt bikes hit over five tracks non-stop, the energy was pulsating through the valley with colours bright and smiles abundant. The Show and Shine during the lunch break saw over 70 fully restored dirt bikes on display in the Village, it was shoulder to shoulder as spectators and bike fanatics got up close and personal with the bikes and their creators. Judges Stephen Gall, Lex Taylor and Geoff Ballard had a tough job to decide the winner which was an immaculately restored Honda CR250 1989 model. Legend Jeff Leisk bought his incredible collection of Honda bikes to display and rode like a demon across the tracks. The Maico at Chippy’s grasstrack was busy all day everyday with fanatics looping around one of the best tracks in the country, with pre78 Shannons notably just as popular. As it’s the biggest fundraising event for the upkeep and operation of the community run Sunshine Coast Motor Cycle Club - SCMCC, the team thanks everyone for the support and involvement in the 2021 TeamMoto Motorcycles Classic Weekend presented by Motul.

Talking Sport Ron Lane
A new career in boxing By Ron Lane When Ben Cameron-Hands of the Cooroy Impact Amateur Boxing Academy, stepped in through the ropes at the Nissan Arena on the night of June 19, it was for this young fighter a celebration of two occasions. First was the ending of what can only described as a very successful amateur career: a career of some 90 fights, fights that resulted in him winning no less than six National Golden Gloves three Australian and six Queensland Titles. But second and perhaps the most important of all, it was the start of what could possibly be a very successful career: a career in the toughest sport of all, the world of professional boxing. For this 20yr old country boy, he believed that the timing to start his return back into the ring, was just right. However, this time it was to be into the paid ranks: and what could be better than to do so, then under the training and guidance of his 10-year coach and adviser, Mark Evans. “On Saturday night when we climbed in through the ropes” said Mark, “it was for me, a very emotional experience, because it was the 91st time we have done that together. We have been together ever since that first night, when as a 10-year-old, he walked through the doors at our Cooroy Impact Boxing Academy, and told me he wanted to learn to box.” It was three years ago, that Ben decided that it was time for him to step away from the amateur ranks, to relax, socialise and enjoy life as only a young man can. In making his decision to enter the paid ranks, what could be better than to do so under the continued guidance of his existing coach Mark Evans. For Ben his debut could not have been better: boxing in the lightweight division, he won by a knockout in round1 of a 4-round fight. “This has resulted in a big interest in the boy,” said his very proud trainer. “I am already getting phone calls from various promoters.” The road to success in professional boxing is long and hard, so to our local lad we wish him and his team, a safe journey and all the very best. For the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club, the weekend got off to a good start. On Friday morning the club played host to the visiting NRL Sydney Tigers club when they visited the grounds to conduct their pre-match Captains run. Apart from giving locals a chance to meet and greet the players plus support group, it gave the young members a chance to catch up with the former Pirate club member, Moses Mbye. After the completion of a light run, Moses was swamped by a group of juniors and he informed them he was happy to meet them and joined in with his fellow team mates, in signing autographs and club jerseys. The importance of such an occasion for country clubs cannot be stressed enough for it gives the country boys a feeling of being a member of the bigger rugby league family. However, the most important factor of all, was that it gave a Sydney club a look at the Noosa community as a possible pre -season training camp. Saturday, which for Pirates was a home game, saw them clash with Caboolture in four grades: the ladies, which resulted in a win for the visitors 46-4,and in the U/18s Noosa came out on top 24-20. The Reserves saw Caboolture play some heavy barging runs centre field which resulted in two converted tries in 10 minutes. Then keeping the emphases on back line play Caboolture had a half time lead of 206. The second half again resulted in some good mid field running and continued support from the centres saw Caboolture continue their dominance. This resulted in a win for Caboolture 40-12. In the senior game, Noosa Pirates set the trend by scoring the first try, which was converted, to give Noosa a 6-0 lead in just three minutes: this was the result of a quick kick and chase by Isaac Leham. However, Caboolture hit back quickly to score making it 6-4, and then continued to pressure Noosa by keeping possession in Noosa’s half. Good defence from the Noosa forward pack, kept them from scoring, but just as they were pushing the Noosa
Ben Cameron-Hands
line, a careless floating pass by Caboolture, saw Curtis Schaller take an intercept and run some 80 mts to score. Score 12-4 Noosa. Caboolture hit back to make the score 12-8. With both teams playing open football, we saw some heavy tackling, one of which resulted in a spear tackle and a send- off for a Caboolture player: the resulting penalty gave Noosa a 14-8 lead. With Noosa’s centre field play dominating, support runner Dan Robinson cut through to score between the post: conversion by Seaton Reid was successful, 208. Minutes later saw Seaton Reid, again prominent, run on to a short ball from Jacob Spark, scoring near the post. With the conversion being successful Noosa went into the half-time 26-8. Immediately after half time Jake O’Brian scored out wide for Caboolture and the conversion followed making it 26-14. This was followed by Pirates Curtis Schaller who moved up fast to beat two defenders and scored, however the kick went wide: 30-14 for Noosa. Another converted try by Noosa took the score to 36-14. At this stage Noosa backs were running strong and with good clearance from the dummy half Hayden Trask, they repeatedly made good yards scoring twice more, as did Caboolture: thus, making the final score 48-26 Noosa. For the second game in a row both Seaton Reid, playing at number 6, ran well in both attack
and defence, while Hayden Trask at number 9,gave his backs plenty of good fast ball from the rucks, thus creating room to move. For Caboolture Jake O’Brien never stopped working and on- the- wing, Rotherby scored twice in what was a good performance. Add to these Hayden Evans, also made his presence felt. Next Saturday June26 Pirates will once again be the host club: this time they do battle against Maroochydore: good luck to both clubs. In the world of Rugby Union, the Ray White Noosa Dolphins had only two senior games to report. “Our reserve grade was very disappointed,” said club President Donald McKill, “their Friday night fixture was cancelled, thus leaving them with no game. This left our club with a bus trip to Wynnum Bugs for the A grade and a trip to Nambour for our senior women. The ladies got off to a bad start when Nambour scored in the opening minutes. However, despite strong defence from Nambour it was Noosa who rallied and took total control; the end result being a 60-5 win. This impressive win keeps them at the top of the competition ladder. For the A Grade they also got off to a very slow start and on a cold and windy day, the locals scored first with a penalty in front of the sticks: however, Noosa hit back with a try and a conversion from Jordy Mayhew. The Bugs
quickly rallied, took control of the first half giving them a 25-7 lead at half time. Second half saw a complete reversal, with Noosa scoring an unbelievable, 19 unanswered points. The Bugs had their chance with two penalties shots late in the game, but both went wide of the posts, allowing the Dolphins to scrape home with a one point,26-25 win. “With Noosa having a Bye this weekend It will give them more time to work on several aspects of their game.” Their next game, an away game, will see them up against the much improved, Maroochydore Swans for the John Currie Cup. On Sunday, at the Noosa Heads SLSC Life Members Annual Luncheon, Noosa’s Open Water Olympic Swimmer Kareena Lee was, along with Dawn Fraser, AO MBE and Bennie Pike ex- Olympian in attendance as honoured guests. After her welcome and introduction by club President Ross Fisher, Kareena spoke not only the hardships of Olympic selection, but also of the added pressure of training in the present atmosphere of Covid restrictions. All present were very impressed by the personality of this young lady and joined in wishing her every success. Following the luncheon, guests retired to the club bar where a massive fundraiser was held to assist Kareena in her quest for Olympic gold. Under the control of compere Bennie Pike, a successful afternoon was enjoyed and again, all joined together in wishing this young lady every success. Friday, 25 June, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 53

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt
Surfing the hot tub (yawn) While the world’s best surfers were battling 40plus temperatures in the mechanical grinders of the wave pool at Lemoore, California, last weekend, the world’s oldest surfers were doing something vaguely similar in rubbish surf at Castaways in the annual Wrecks and Relics comp. I’m not sure which event was more interesting – I’d probably say the Wrecks – but let’s start with the increasingly controversial WSL Surf Ranch Pro. The controversy lies in the fact that in an experimental Covid-shortened season, every event has serious world title ramifications, so why, a lot of the pros are asking, is one of the qualifying events for the finals series being held in a tub in the desert? Well, because the WSL owns the Kelly Slater Surf Ranch and its revolutionary technology, and it is having trouble getting contracts to build the perfectly formed but financially imperfect wave machine around the world, while other wave pool models are proliferating. Yes, kiddies, the Lemoore event is a three-day global television “info-mercial”, and not a very subtle one. While we wait endless minutes for the ponderous blue freight train to build up a head of steam – I think I can, I know I can – and deliver its barrelling right or its hard-pushing left, the commentary boys in the air-conditioned shipping container deliver non-stop babble about how damned great it is out here in the heat and dust and general dreariness of one of Central California’s least memorable towns. Wave pools have come and gone over the decades on the world tour, since Big Surf in Arizona in the ‘60s and Wildwater Kingdom in Pennsylvania’s Amish country in the ‘80s, and as negativity about this one grows, it is hard to see Lemoore lasting much longer, except for the fact that the WSL owns it. That’s a shame for Kelly Slater, who poured heart and soul into the development of the wave, and was surrounded by true believers around the world when he watched in awe, and we watched in awe the video of him watching, the first perfect wave roll down the pool in December, 2016. But the truth of the matter is that over the five international events held at Lemoore, the formats and the surfing have become increasingly predictable and boring. I’m a WSL tragic, so I tuned in each day, hoping that it would somehow be more exciting than the day before. And therein lies the problem. It can’t be, because every day, every wave, is exactly the same. Some surfers have learnt to ride the pool better than others, but as some technical critics have pointed out, contrary to what we had hoped, the wave pool encourages a conservative rather than radical approach, as seen so clearly in Sunday’s men’s final, when Gabriel Medina went hugely for the air, and failed, while Filipe Toledo threaded the barrel and played it safe until the last section, and succeeded. Even France’s Johanne Defay, who has blossomed into a very fine all-round surfer, played the careful pool game to defeat the virtually unbeatable Carissa Moore, counting the numbers on the leaderboard and saving her power for when she needed it on the long and muscle-eating 45-second rides. Johanne will win a world title one day soon, although maybe not this year, given Carissa Moore’s blazing form. But the new finals series format means that everyone in the top five has an almost equal shot at it. With two events still to come before the Trestles finals, Carissa and Gabriel Medina have already qualified. Creaking bones at the Wrecks Meanwhile, down in the first day dribble and the second day straight-handers at Castaways, the Wrecks and Relics did their best to put on a show for the passing dog-walkers. Ignoring creaking bones and aching muscles, we legends in our own lunch-boxes pulled out all stops to a) get to our feet and b) find a wave with a wall. It wasn’t pretty, but it was kinda fun. I think this was the 16th Wrecks and I’ve been in a lot of them, surfing with the same bunch of 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 June, 2021

Let’s celebrate 50 years The day is for all Noosa Tigers people; Seniors and Juniors, ex-players, current players, administrators, coaches, and supporters. This little resort town at the tip of the Sunshine Coast is the only Sunshine Coast AFL club with a 50-year history! Something to be proud of! Go Tigers Inclusion Team Update The Noosa AFC Inclusion team played its first game last Saturday at home taking on a combined Yeronga AFC / Surfers Paradise AFC. This is the first time clubs and the AFLQ have come together to create a competition for Inclusion Athletes over the age of 16 years with an Intellectual Disability to participate. The clubs competing are Noosa AFC , Yeronga AFC and Surfers Paradise AFC. Players have been training for over 6 weeks to prepare for this match. The game was played in great spirit with a lot of spectators commenting on the skill level and will to compete, with all players committed to the match. There will be further games scheduled throughout the year, with this coming Saturday (19th June) sees Noosa travel to Yeronga, then down to the Gold Coast on July 3rd to play Surfers Paradise. Upon completion of these matches a Queensland State Team will be selected to travel to Adelaide to compete against other states over a week-long AFL Inclusion Carnival. Anyone wishing to join the Noosa Tigers Inclusion team, come down to training on Wednesday evenings at 5.00pm and join in or contact Coach Rob Purves on 0433 240 005.
By Julian Pitts This Saturday 26 June from midday, the Noosa Tigers AFC will be celebrating 50 years of existence, which in a non-AFL state has to be considered a wonderful achievement. Club co-founder Len Daddow will welcome guests in the clubhouse just after midday, followed by some words of wisdom and humour from Geelong great Billy Brownless. Of course, we do have plenty of footy to be played as the Rococo Noosa Tigers play Gold Coast heavyweights Labrador who are coached by Sydney Swans premiership hero Nick Malceski. Bova’s boys went down by 6 goals last Saturday to Sherwood in a much-improved effort. Seb Rogers continued his stellar form of the past 5 or 6 weeks to be again adjudged Noosa’s best player. Vice-captain Isaac McCrimmon was terrific, whilst key forward Aaron Wilson and skipper Aaron Laskey were among the best also. Our Tiger Women have gone to the top of the AFL Division 2 north ladder with a terrific 10 goal victory over Sandgate at Rococo Oval last Saturday. Cass Young was the instigator of the win and was clearly the best player on the ground. Maddy Trompf controlled the defensive half superbly for 4 quarters whilst Shauna Kelly always looked dangerous up forward. The women play North Shore at 10 am at Mudjimba this Saturday so plenty of time to get back for our 50th year celebrations. Here’s a rundown of the day at Tigerland this Saturday: Midday - Official welcome and some words from club co-founder Len Daddow 12.30pm - Special guest Billy Brownless

NOOSA CLAIMS $34M TOP PROPERTY PRIZE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THERE’S simply nothing like living at Sunshine Beach and the reported $34m sale of a private beachfront house has confirmed it. In what is believed to be the highest residential sale in Queensland, the Webb Rd property was held by long-time Noosa residents Murray and Margie Charlton. It follows the recent sale of The Beach House at 2 Belmore Tce, Sunshine Beach, for $22m. The sales put Noosa at the pinnacle of coastal Australian real estate and reinforces Sunshine Beach as one of the top luxury coastal destinations in Australia. The Webb Rd sale follows the $18m achieved three years ago for a neighbouring property that, at 3595sq m, was almost twice the size and came with tennis court.

property in Seaview Tce, Sunshine Beach. Webb House was an off-market sale and, like The Beach House, is widely believed to have been conducted by Tom Offermann Real Estate that has declined to comment. Sitting on a 2015sq m battle-axe block, the fan-shaped house with direct ocean views was built by Damien Davidson Builders and designed by Peter Conley from PCA Architects. ALL EYES ON WESLEY It will be a much-anticipated event when the three-bedroom, one-bathroom waterfront house on 625sq m at 22 Wesley Ct, Noosa Heads, goes to auction today, Friday, at noon. Nic Hunter and Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate have been marketing the original 1980s waterfront house. Understandably, it has has been attracting a lot of interest. “It’s been owned by the same family since 1984,’’ Nic said. “The three-bedroom, one-bathroom house was the first in Wesley Ct.
all different reasons. “We had multiple offers on the Saturday afternoon of the open house. “It has gone to a family moving up from regional Victoria. “They will be going from cold to warm, to experience the beach life.’’ The sellers had lived there for 20 years and their four children are all surfers. Scott said the surfboards in the living room was a brilliant idea. “It said ‘This is who we are … that’s the life we’ve lived.’ “They led a genuine beach lifestyle.’’ An original beach house for more than 30 years, the house had good framework. Scott said they were now working on some new listings, especially a number of units in Noosaville. “We have so much inquiry ... lots of calls from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. “For a large amount of people looking, it’s going to take a long while before demand is taken up. “For every sale we make there’s multiple offers or bidders at auctions.’’
“It provides a level 625sq m block on the water five minutes walk to Hastings St. “It’s hard to get such a property in the current market “The auction will draw so much attention for someone wanting to build their architect-designed dream home.’’ Interest has been from a broad Queensland base, interstate and more than normal interest from expats. BEACH LIFESTYLE APPEALS It was one of the best marketing photos I have seen in quite a while. And it nearly didn’t happen. The photographer was there and was going to take them out of the living room. Yet the surfboards said so much about the house that it was decided to leave them in there. Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville at Noosa Estate Agents sold the five-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 8 Oak St, Sunshine Beach, prior to auction scheduled for last Saturday. “It was an interesting one,’’ Scott said. “It attracted a lot of people from all over for

There were more than 60 interested, mainly locals gathered and seven registered bidders, all obviously mesmerised by the stupendous grandstand views and anxious to hear famed auctioneer Gordon Macdonald call the action loud and clear. But where was The Voice? Thanks to the Tom Offermann Real Estate in-house media team, he was wired for sound and able to be heard by everyone. The auction concluded, and a short time later the property was sold for a significant amount more than the $5m, the point where the auction stalled. Interestingly, many of the bidders were clients of the agency’s team proving teamwork makes the dream work. An hour later, another expansive view, this time of Hastings St, Laguna Bay, Mt Cooroy, and the Noosa National Park from the terrace of the Julie Bengtsson and Mal Cox-listed apartment 5/1 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads was the backdrop for Gordon’s next auction. Following intense interstate inquiry, three registered bidders and 30 very interested observers, it was sold under the hammer for $3.4m to a Brisbane buyer. The sellers, who had owned the apartment for seven years, were thrilled with the result. FAMILY HOME SOLD PRIOR With strong interest virtually from the start of the campaign it was just a matter of time before the four-bedroom family home at 9 Wylah St, Noosaville, would attract offers prior to auction. Due to go under the hammer on Saturday, June 25, at 11am, the twobathroom, three-car house with pool saw 20 groups through the first open for inspection. Melanie Butcher at Laguna Real Estate said an offer was presented strong enough to take it away from auction. A local family purchased it, and were very excited about living in a lovely, quiet residential area, that is close to parks, shops and the river. Location and the way it was immaculately kept was the big appeal, Melanie said.
A three-bedroom, one-bathroom waterfront house on 625sq m at 22 Wesley Ct, Noosa Heads, is attracting interest ahead of the June 25 auction. 240057 “Every person who came through said how well it was presented. “There are so many buyers out there. They are under pressure and do not want to compete at auction. “It brings the best out of them. They have to make their best offer.’’ Melanie will be taking a vacant 9912sq m property with 130m river frontage on Noosa’s North Shore to auction on July 3. To be held in rooms at Laguna’s Noosaville office at 10am, the auction of 2 Noosa River Dve will be an interesting one. “It’s a beautiful piece of land,’’ Melanie said. “It’s been in one family for a very long period. “It’s peaceful, quiet. “The current owners enjoyed it as children. “There is a potential house site overlooking grassland to the water’s edge. “A jetty may be approved on application.’’ DOUBLE AUCTION ACTION It’s been quite the week for Jeanette Catalano at Hinternoosa with an auction last Wednesday and two on the Friday. “I must say I am enjoying the auctions happening during the week, rather than being so hectic on a Saturday,’’ Jeanette said. “All auctions were well attended, attracted plenty of registered bidders and bidding, and all sold under the hammer.’’ Last Saturday the three-bedroom, two-bathroom family house at 6 Fittell Ct, Tewantin, sold at auction for $830,000.
It saw huge inquiry throughout the campaign with bi-weekly opens that saw 55 groups of buyers through the doors in a two-and-a-half week campaign. The eventual buyers were investors from the Gold Coast so it will go into the Hinternoosa rental pool, which is in desperate need of stock. Last Friday the adjoining 6 and 8 Springfield Ccle, Cooroy, were separately put to the market. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on 0.176ha with pool at No.6 was presented first. “With beautiful peaceful views to the north, the sun was shining and the birds were singing,’’ Jeanette said. “It couldn’t have been a more perfect setting.’’ Again, a quick two-and-a-half week campaign saw 53 groups through the doors. “Interested buyers were mainly owneroccupiers, but the steepness of the land meant that it wasn’t going to suit everyone - despite the fact that the Polaris vehicle was included.’’ On the day there were four registered bidders with three participating. After 20 bids the property sold under the hammer for $1,045,000. The eventual buyer is from larger acreage in regional Victoria who will move up here to be closer to family and their grandchild. The adjoining 0.41ha at 8 Springfield Ccl was offered immediately after. Three new bidders came into the mix
NEW INDIAN COLLECTIONS
and, again, the bidders didn’t make it easy for the auctioneer with a total of 24 bids starting at $250,000 but finishing at $381,000. The eventual buyer was from Noosa who knows that vacant land, especially small acreage, in the Noosa Shire is in short supply. HASTINGS ST OPPORTUNITY It’s an ideal opportunity to get a foot into Hastings St. A fully-furnished, two-bedroom, twobathroom apartment 30 The Emerald, 42 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, is for sale by tender closing Thursday, July 1. Correen Mackay of Richardson & Wrench Noosa said it was a good family-size apartment with spacious interior, and that has filtered views over the park. “It’s a great renter. Set up one level, it looks down rather than out. “There’s one car park on title and you don’t always get that. “There’s a new renovated pool area in the complex and you are across the street from the beach.’’ Inquiry has been mainly internet and phone as the holiday bookings mean it has been hard to commit to open homes. “People are realising they have to look as soon as they can,’’ Correen said. “There is not much available in Hastings St. “Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne … even locals are looking at it as an investment. “They are purely taking it as an investment with their Noosa home.’’ LITTLE TREASURE The Lake Macdonald area is running hot with sales. In the past few months Hinternoosa have dealt with some real high-end properties. Kess Prior said she was not talking lakefront, as they are always in the frame. “It’s small acreages with high-end homes. Little treasures. “We have sold four in recent months $1.2m-$2m.’’ The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 3.01acres at 80 Racehorse La, Lake Macdonald, is one of them. It goes to auction today, Friday, at 3pm. At the end of a country lane, the home is characterised by exquisite attention to detail. Continued page 12

Time to say goodbye. Built in 1984, it was Wesley Court’s first home. Whilst the neat-as-a-pin bungalow with great bones remains intact in its original condition, the innumerable precious family memories go with the vendor. Whether an arch-defender of contemporaneity, or a traditionalist, there is much for the opportunity-seeker to contemplate about this Noosa Sound property, a 5-minute walk to Noosa Main Beach.

What is not to love about sun-splashed days in a striking Trevor Reitsma-designed showstopper, which commands an enviable vantage point, and views, on Noosa Hill. Stepping into the oversize living spaces, is akin to a seat in a theatre watching light and sun move across the Noosa River, Lake Weyba and Mt Cooroy, also seeing sunset from the poolside deck, which has an unequivocal connection to indoors.

ON THE COVER
LUSH HAVEN WHERE NOOSA NATIONAL PARK MEETS THE BEACH WHEN the address is 500m to toes-in-thesand, and it is nestled amid lush greenery in a privileged cul-de-sac position next to the Noosa National Park, with ocean views plus potential for the most amazing sweeping coastal and hinterland views, you know this is an absolute winner. Perched on the highest point and one of the largest blocks in Parkedge Road, with an idyllic north-easterly aspect, the private breezy sun-drenched beach-style house with numerous alfresco spaces, has a versatile layout. It embraces a year-round indoor-outdoor sub-tropical lifestyle and has a totally relaxed vibe. The beauty of the native landscape seemingly wraps around the home, which was an early design by renowned architect John Mainwaring, and continues in the front garden with golden cane palms and agaves. Sub-tropical plants also fringe the walkway. The curvature of the high-ceilinged house means the north and west sides are almost entirely wrapped by expansive undercover decks and terraces, which have views of the Coral Sea, overlook the gardens frequented by chirpy butcher birds and kookaburras, as well as the lagoon pool with its Balinese-style gazebo. Focal points of the large living room are the wood-burning fireplace with marble surround, glass sliders which open wide to reveal a large terrace for family entertaining and on the north-side, a Juliette balcony with verdant outlook. Undercover decks on the east side, accessed from the dining and living areas provide more options for living and loving the great outdoors. In ostensibly the north wing are three bedrooms. The king-size master has a walk-in robe plus ensuite with a spa bath. A queen-size bedroom has built-in robes, accesses a pool deck also a balcony. It shares a bathroom with the third bedroom. The location is also superb. It is just
500m to the white sand of Sunshine Beach, an easy walk to North Sunshine’s dog beach via Enterprise Street, and at the Noosa National Park entrance there are signs denoting five walking trails including to the beach and around the headland to Hastings Street. Also nearby is Sunshine Beach village, the Sunshine Beach Surf Club, and the patrolled beach. “Let’s not forget the super land size and zoning,” extols Tom Offerman Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann, who is taking the property to auction on Sunday 4 July 2021. “It is medium density so think duplex with potential for overly broad ocean and hinterland views, or maybe it’s the ultimate beach house. Afterall Sunshine Beach is a highly regarded hot spot and properties are in extremely high demand.” Facts & Features: Land Area: 841m² Internal Area: 221m² External Area: 107m² Garage: 3-car; storage + work bench Architect: John Mainwaring 1990 Zoning: medium density/duplex About: wood-burning fireplace w marble surround; kitchen w Miele dishwasher, Westinghouse dble oven, Chef cooktop & Panasonic fridge; laundry w Fisher & Paykel washer and dryer; ducted aircon/ fans Inventory: full inclusive ready for lucrative rentals incl 3 smart TVs Exterior: lagoon pool w Balinese-style gazebo, gardens & sun decks; back garden w native plantings Location: 500m to Sunshine Beach; easy walk to North Sunshine’s dog beach via easement & Noosa National Park entrance w signs for five walking trails incl beach & around the headland to Hastings Street; nearby is Sunshine Beach village, Sunshine Beach Surf Club + patrolled beach. ●

PROPERTY NEWS
EOFY 2021: RESULTS LIKE NO OTHER BY TOM OFFERMANN OF TOM OFFERMANN REAL ESTATE AS the 2021 financial year closes, it will be remembered as one of the most active ever for the Noosa real estate market, and possibly one like no other, with sales across the Noosa shire of $2,770,000,000. This represents a remarkable 40 percent increase on the preceding year. July 2020 began with locals fresh out of a short Covid-19 lockdown and a market fuelled by highly motivated buyers making snap lifestyle and work-related decisions. The record low cost of debt combined with an unprecedented amount of government support extended the financial capacity of buyers. An abundance of buyers competing for a historically low number of available properties created windfall value rises for Noosa property owners. Buyers simply had more credit available to them, and those who had just sold a property were re-entering the market with deeper pockets. Auctions emerged as the best strategy for realising the best prices with buyers lining up five, sometimes 10 deep on most properties, and clearance rates exceeding 90 percent. We could sense desperation as so many missed out on multiple properties

they tried to buy, also record numbers of sales were transacted without a buyer inspection. Pleasingly, we have not had a single client dissatisfied with their remote purchase. Despite record prices on offer, the reluctance of property owners to sell has never been more evident. Commonly clients say to us “If I sell where will I go, and what if I can’t get into the market again?” While the property market is showing no signs of slowing, it is easy to delay selling decisions while continuing to ride a wave of success.
In the background we know some owners are simply postponing the sale, but once they see evidence of a slowdown or an increase in available properties, they will put their properties on the market. Common reasons to sell are to up or down-size, work changes, ageing, estate planning, relocation, and freeing up money. In the past we have experienced the market going from undersupply to an oversupply almost overnight, and it is this backlog of sellers who have kicked the can down the road on decisions to sell, that can shift the supply demand balance quickly. Frustrated buyers who are yet to purchase
are certainly hoping for that to happen. And what about the 2022 financial year? The next foreseeable major influence on Australian markets will be the reopening of international borders, and even though it will be some time off, it is worth giving it some thought, as well as expecting the unexpected. In these unique and unpredictable circumstances, we are reluctant to forecast the market too far ahead, but right now there are no dark clouds on the horizon, the cost of money will remain low, interest in Noosa will remain high, plus they’re not making any more of it. ●
NOOSA CLAIMS $34M TOP PROPERTY PRIZE From page 3 The steel-framed home has been recently renovated to offer an elegant, resort-style way of life.

We have had overwhelming feedback. “They are loving the location and that it’s a 990sq m block. “It’s all one level so that’s great for downsizers or a family. “The property has been in the same family for 26 years.

ESCAPE TO THE CENTRE OF PARADISE IF you’re thinking oceanfront, sweeping views and beachside living, strolling to the nearby village with its strong community feel, vibrant coffee culture, dog-friendly cafes and chic boutiques, plus being a 15-minute drive to Hastings Street, Peregian Beach has all the attributes. Add enviable lifestyle on the oceanfront and it doesn’t get much better than Residence Two at Shoreline. This freestanding beach house, architecturally designed by Tim Ditchfield is only a 100m walk to the sand and is in a boutique complex of three. It’s nestled serenely and perched perfectly in an upmarket pocket on Peregian Esplanade. Look ahead and just stare. It’s difficult to ignore the generosity of space in the light-filled, high ceiling, open-plan living and dining areas with stunning marble tiles, two big balconies, wide deck and courtyard with a lush garden. Wherever you stand, all indoor and outdoor lines are blurred, thanks to ‘disappearing’ sliders, so the 180-degree Coral Sea views are maximised. They’re absolutely stunning and from the generous balcony on the oceanside you can see Sunshine Beach headland to the north on the left and
Mooloolaba’s Point Arkwright on the right. Contributing to the essence of contemporary beach-style living is a custom built feature wall which has an integrated gas fireplace for cool nights, gorgeous high ceilings, ducted air-conditioning throughout and on-trend open plan kitchen with breakfast bar, Miele appliances, marble bench tops plus every accoutrement for the consummate entertainer, who has to decide where amongst all the options is the best space to host guests. Downstairs is where dreams are made. All three bedrooms have access to terraces and north-easterly ocean views. The master suite has gorgeous stack back windows and a spacious ensuite; the other two generous bedrooms, both queen-size, offer walk in robes and large luxurious bathroom with stunning turned marble tiles and double vanity and easy walk in shower.

There is 24m lap pool and designated gym area in the complex. “This is one of Peregian’s best located
luxury residences,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tracy Russell. “It’s directly opposite the beach, only a short walk to heart of Peregian Village and it offers a much sought after sophisticated
beachside lifestyle for families or as a beachside holiday home. And let’s not forget when catching waves and building sandcastles becomes tiresome, head to the lap pool in the complex and cool off.” ●

SUNSHINE BEACHFRONT - GRAND LIVING IN the thick of Sunshine Beach’s illustrious beauty, what appears to be an understated modernist residence from the street, makes a quantum leap into an imposing sophisticated beachfront residence, with nature’s canvas of the Coral Sea from Lions Head to Point Cartwright, taking centre stage. Classic detailing and a neutral palette coalesce with an abundance of light emanating from the stupendous rooftop terrace via skylights into the clerestoryceilinged central atrium, drenching the lime-washed floors. With time-honoured proportions, lofty ceilings, artistic aesthetic and an elegant appearance, the extensive dining and lounge areas are impressive, to say the least. A gas fireplace with a chimney sculptured into custom cabinetry is a nod to Morocco, exotic Mediterranean tiles feature on the stair rises, and banks of white plantation shutters abound. The almost invisible line between indoors and out, stretches on the northeasterly side, to a massive undercover deck augmented by white timber roof slats. Framed by pandanus, it spills over the garden to uninterrupted grandstand-style
180-degrees of dazzling white sand, and a sparkling symphony of ocean blue. Perched confidently within the dune, viewing seaward, the scene is truly pictureperfect, even at sunrise when seated at the kitchen’s breakfast bar watching dawn send out her shimmering rays. Counter tops are marble, complementary white cabinetry has a Hampton’s-inspired profile, Smeg is the high-end brand of choice, and the exceptional island bench is designed as a stunning focal point that helps elevate the space to a new level. Living and loving the good life also revolves around the north-western paved terrace. Admire the pearlescent pool, the water feature and day bed; lolling on sun
lounges is year-round thanks to the idyllic sub-tropical climate; and dining under the stars is always a romantic option. Also on the ground level is another oversized luxurious bedroom, suitable as a master bedroom with a wall of robes and an ensuite with terrazzo flooring, marble vanity and a soaring ceiling with skylights. Downstairs is also lavishly appointed and keeps on giving. One enormous bedroom has sliders opening to the undercover terrace which runs the width of the house, also abutting the sub-tropical terraced garden and beach reserve; another has shutters on the garden side; and a third has a window looking out to the sea and the side garden. The family/media room denotes fun. Swap the alarm for the sound of waves breaking on shore, grab surfboards, kids, and dogs, because at the bottom of the garden it is toes in the sand. “For those seeking a private, safe, secure and unrivalled lifestyle,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eric Seetoo, “this stunningly beautiful oasis, which is awash with the most amazing views and is in arguably the most revered street beachside Sunshine Beach, simply
has it all. “There are two dedicated beach accesses nearby, you can walk to Noosa Heads and Hastings Street via Alexandria Bay, alternatively vibrant Sunshine Beach village with its popular restaurants, cafes, bars and boutiques plus the Sunshine Beach Surf Club and patrolled beach.” Facts & Features: 2

NOOSA Heads and Noosaville are listed in the Top 10 most searched suburbs within Queensland. Buyers from all over Australia and overseas, mainly from the United Kingdom and New Zealand are vying for a piece of Noosa paradise with Noosa Heads being the most searched suburb. Many baby boomers, families and investors are attracted to these areas due to its healthy growth rate of 20 per cent over the last 12 months and a combination of beautiful weather, beaches, national park, low rise density, affordability, excellent capital gains, restaurants, schools, hospitals, airport and its location to cosmopolitan Brisbane being only one and
a half hours drive from Noosa. One of the most viewed properties by our overseas buyers in the last 3 months was a luxurious waterfront mansion in Noosa Waters Estate within Noosaville. At Laguna Real Estate we have seen a high level of auction activity with nearly a 100 per cent clearance rate this year. It is no wonder why sellers are opting for this method of sale with an average of five bidders at each auction. Auctions are giving sellers an assured sale with buyers willing and able to pay at least 10 per cent over sellers’
expectations. Overseas buyers are playing an active part in our auctions, registering to bid well before auction day. Many of these buyers are expats and are bidding on properties sight unseen. Last weekend Laguna Real Estate auctioned two showcase properties in these sought-after locations and they received plenty of interest from our on-line viewers. The first, a standout apartment with breathtaking views to Laguna Main Beach, Laguna Bay, Noosa North Shore and the Noosa River was 4/35 Picture Point
MOVING UP: PRIME PENTHOUSE LIVING PLACED in a prime position between Noosa’s entertainment hubs, Macquarie Lodge is a five-minute walk either way to prestigious Hastings Street or Noosa Junction. This location truly delivers! This delightful, north-facing penthouse apartment with ocean views and hinterland sunsets provides picturesque vistas throughout the day and night. Placed forward in the complex, it provides a larger treed aspect with one of the best vantage points overlooking the pristine resort gardens and lagoon-style pool area. The entire apartment has been freshly painted with cleverly placed feature walls to soften the space. The open plan living has new flooring, and the kitchen has been beautifully renovated with fresh whites and pops of colour creating a bright and cheery atmosphere. The generous, covered outdoor entertainment area is the ideal place to watch the sunrise over the ocean while sipping on your morning coffee or relaxing and unwinding with a cheeky glass of wine as pink and oranges hues saturate the landscape as the sun sets over the hinterland. There are two very generously sized bedrooms with the main bedroom delivering ocean vistas, walk-in robe, and a newly renovated, elegantly styled ensuite plus your own private access onto the covered terrace.
This property delivers multi-purpose living with the option to reside permanently, utilise as a holiday investment and capitalise on the generous returns or lock-up and leave as your fabulous Noosa getaway. Noosa’s unique organic lifestyle offers an abundance of various desires with many fine dining restaurants, cafes, boutique shopping, pristine beaches, tranquil National Park walks - everything your heart desires right on your doorstep. Now is the time to obtain a great buy and profit at this fabulous location. Enjoy absolutely no parking hassles, just pure holiday bliss! ●
