The swell from heaven By Phil Jarratt

It was a long time coming, and it managed to avoid the entire autumn contest season, but surfers were finally rewarded last weekend with the best swell of the year on Noosa’s famous point breaks. While the swell, which kicked in last Friday, cleaned up on Saturday, and was close to perfect on Sunday, never generated maximum wave heights, it delivered what surfers describe as clean lines and deep barrels. In fact, the sand build-up from the outer bays through to Main Beach resulted in the kind of heavy, pitching sand barrels normally associated with Kirra on the Gold Coast at its very best. Following a prolonged campaign by the Noosa World Surfing Reserve in association with Noosa Council and involving most local surfing associations, very few behavioral issues were reported despite large crowds in the water, particularly on Sunday. One veteran local surfer noted: “It was a swell from heaven and nobody misbehaved. How good is that?” For more on the swell from heaven, and more of Fenna de King’s amazing photos of it, see Life of Brine, page 46, and check out fennadeking.com or Instagram fenna. deking.

Noosa effect felt By Phil Jarratt

12497020-DL22-21

The ongoing dispute between Noosa Council and lobbyist group, the Eastern Beaches Protection Association, over the adoption of Council’s draft Coastal Hazard Adaption Plan has escalated to the national stage, with a leading climate change scientist dubbing the barney “the Noosa effect”. Dr Karl Mallon, director of science and systems at Climate Risk, whose work is widely used by banks and other organisations that rely on accurate predictions of threats, coined the phrase while commenting on the ABC’s Australia Talks National Survey 2021, which asked a cross-section of Australians: “How much should the federal government do to tackle climate change?” According to the ABC, the answers ranged from “more” to “less” to “about the same”, but when these results were crossreferenced with the estimated climate risk in each electorate, the results were surprising.

People in electorates threatened by the impacts of climate change — such as those in on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast — were less likely to say climate change was a threat, or demand government action. Australia Talks asked Dr Mallon to explain. “Climate risk data is used to estimate the future impact of climate change on property and infrastructure, and is calculated by combining “engineering data about buildings with weather data, climate change data, data about forests, soils, elevation, and height above sea level,” he said. “And that all goes into a washing machine of computer code, and the computer spits out a raw figure: the climate risk.” According to the Climate Risk data, several electorates most threatened by the impacts of climate change but less likely to demand government action are on Queensland’s Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. But why were people here less likely to see climate change as a

threat? Dr Mallon said the answer was complex but one factor may be “the Noosa effect”. He went on to describe the EBPA’s fight against CHAP, saying preparation for rising sea levels was seen by the group as hurting property prices and insurance costs. “You’ve got short-term versus a long-term interest,” Dr Mallon said. “The long-term selfinterest says I should protect my property, but the short-term says these warnings on my sales certificate will devalue my property.” With a high-profile roll call of members, former mining industry lobbyist Minna Knight out front as spokesperson, and mining and development big league lobbying firm Next Level hired to develop the back room strategy, there is no doubt that EBPA means business, and the group has won support from several Noosa-based citizens’ groups since it was formed earlier this year, but at the same time its attack on CHAP has enraged lo-

cal environmental protection groups. “The eastern beaches group is a self-interested clique of investment gamblers, seeking to shift their significant climate change risk from themselves to every ratepayer across Noosa Shire,” Noosa Parks Association vice president Michael Gloster told Noosa Today. “It will be interesting to see which Noosa councillors have the spine to protect the clear majority of ratepayers against this clique’s attempted smash and grab.” Announcing the formation of EBPA in March, Ms Knight told Noosa Today “the current plan does nothing to protect the local environment and adversely impacts a number of communities at significant economic cost. There’s also a growing awareness that these planning changes won’t just affect the eastern beaches but will ultimately have to extend to homeowners in low lying areas in the future. Continued page 3

This Sunday 11 July the United Nations marks World Population Day. COVID-19 has caused the greatest disruption to human life since WWII but what impact will it have on population growth and distribution? In Noosa we are well aware people have been migrating from cities to regional areas, like Noosa, where they can work from home and enjoy the lifestyle it offers. Across the world, the UN says COVID-19 has impacted economies and led to almost four million deaths. It has compromised health care systems, exacerbated gender-based inequities and increased gender-based violence. Economic uncertainty has led people to delay having children in some countries. Difficulties in accessing health care and birth control because of the pandemic have caused both increased birth rates and stillbirths in some countries. According to an article in Frontiers in Public Health journal in December 2020, pandemics affect population in the same way as disasters. There is a steep decline in birth rates followed by gradual increases, then a baby boom. It took hundreds of thousands of years for the world population to grow to 1 billion, another 200 years to reach 7 billion in 2011 and its expected to grow to 10.9 billion by 2100, according to the UN. The growth has been driven by better health, increased life expectancy, increasing urbanisation and migration. Future trends will have far-reaching implications.

Noosa brush with COVID It was mixed blessings for O-Ren Brewhouse owner Jason Cox who didn’t know whether to feel lucky his Sunshine Beach restaurant was so popular or unlucky the only Covid-positive visitors in town paid them a visit on Monday 28 June. Jason praised Queensland Health for their guidance and assistance, praised his staff for their actions, and thanked the community which has rallied to support the restaurant that only recently relocated from Hastings Street to Sunshine Beach into newly-renovated premises. A Brisbane man and his partner who tested positive for the Alpha variant of Covid-19 after returning home visited several sites across Noosa last week including O-Ren Brewhouse and the next door Sunshine Beach Newsagency and general store. Jason said it was pretty confronting to be contacted by Queensland Health but they were told there was a “pretty low risk” of infection. “We decided to close Saturday night,” Jason said. “We didn’t have to. “The staff that worked that night (three front of house and three back of house) are having two weeks off to quarantine.” Jason said staff from their sister restaurant, Copperhead Brewery in Cooroy, had pitched in to lend a hand while their colleagues were isolating, and the community was looking after them. “They’re all back in enjoying the food,” he said. The Brisbane man who travelled to Noosa last week and has since tested positive to Covid-19 has been linked to a cluster of cases of the Alpha variant connected to people who attended the Zeus Street Kitchen at Westfield Chermside, Queensland’s Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young announced on Monday. Dr Young said the man’s partner had also tested positive to the illness. A public health alert was this week issued for Covid contact tracing locations in Eumundi, Sunshine Beach and Noosa Heads visited by the man and his partner.

Noosa effect felt From page 1 “More people are learning that the draft plan does absolutely nothing to protect our beaches, waterways and public land, but can still have a significant economic cost caused by Council proposing planning changes stopping people improving their homes.” The 130-page draft CHAP document, the first stage of a multi-year program to prepare Noosa for climate change, emphasises that potential sea level rise could affect different parts of Noosa Shire by 2040, and significantly by 2100. It considers the $220 million projected cost of replenishing sand from Peregian Beach to Sunshine Beach over the next 80 years to be potentially good value, but it

Not a man’s world By Arthur Gorrie The cattle saleyard has long been a man’s world for most of those who are part of the action, especially the buyers. Years of experience and an insightful, even cagey nature have always been part of the game of buying the next pen a little cheaper than the competition. Then along came Goomeri’s Payton Jennings, 23, who arrived on the scene in mid2020, as a buyer for Gympie meat processor Nolan Meats. Payton, from Pomona originally, has been a regular at saleyards around south east Queensland and as far north as Gracemere, near Rockhampton, her boss Terry Nolan said last week. Always keenly interested in livestock and agriculture, Payton left Noosa District High School to work briefly as part of the Nolan Meats Stock Team “I openly admit it wasn’t the easiest job, but I liked it. “I kept looking for something a bit closer to home, which I eventually found,” she said. “I worked in a few different places, but in January 2018 I went back to Nolan Meats, partly in the stock team, but mostly in the admin team as a livestock clerk. “After about two and a half years Terry Nolan asked me if I would like to do some saleyard buying. I had spoken to plenty of livestock vendors over the phone and so I jumped at the chance to attend actual sales.” Nolan Meats are one of the biggest supporters of the Gympie Saleyards regularly buying 15 to 25 per cent of the yarding, but according to local agent Dan Sullivan, buyers are welcome, “whether it is for one head per year and the global companies that buy one million a year as well as everyone in between.” “It is great to see any new buyers attending and it is great that Nolan Meats have seen Payton’s potential and willing to give her a go. “She holds her own amongst the men jostling for the best value buys on any given day.” “She is certainly not the first lady we have seen buying for the larger companies but even in this day and age you would have to say she is still in a very small minority.” Payton was among a team of young women Nolans took in 2019 to a ‘Meat Business Women’ conference sponsored by the Australian Meat Industry Council as a way of promoting meat industry careers for women.

A man has sadly died after being run over by a car in Sippy Downs on Saturday night. Police said initial investigations suggested a man was lying on Parkville Street when he was struck by a car at 11.30pm on 3 July. A 24-year-old man was seriously injured and died at the scene a short time later. The driver, a 19-year-old Sippy Downs man, was not physically injured during the incident. Police are appealing for anyone that has any information about the incident to contact police. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

Payton Jennings buying for Nolan Meats at Gympie Saleyards. “I thought it was great a great insight for us girls,“ Payton said. “We met inspirational speakers from overseas and had the chance for a one-on-one chat with (Queensland) Senator Susan McDonald.” Payton joins a growing number of women employed as electricians, fitters, skilled knife hands, meat inspectors, MSA graders, envi-

ronmental officers, HR specialists as well as admin officers. Payton is also acting as a mentor for another young Widgee woman Maddy Carter, who is learning the ropes as a livestock clerk. And her belief in the industry shows in the investment she and her partner have made, buying a farm at Goomeri with her partner.

Ex-teacher charged with child offences The man is a former teacher at a Sunshine Coast private school and former coach within a major water sports association. Police will allege the man created an alias Instagram account, “Taylor Brooke” – tay_ brookesa and engaged in multiple conversations with children under this alias. This account has since been deactivated. Investigators are appealing for anyone who may have had interactions with the man, or

this alias account, or know of any potential victims to come forward with further information. The charges also include the alleged forgery of documentation and theft of items from a school where he was previously employed. The man was refused police bail and appeared briefly in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Saturday morning where he was remanded in custody to reappear on 6 August.

Arrest in cop death Police have arrested a 33-year-old Caboolture woman in relation to the alleged homicide of Senior Constable David Masters. It will be alleged the woman was the driver of the stolen car which fatally struck Senior Constable Masters just after 3am on 26 June. She surrendered into custody at the Caboolture Police Station shortly before midnight on June 29 after homicide detectives called for public assistance to find her. The 33-year-old was due to appear in the Caboolture Magistrates Court on 30 June on charges including murder, arson and unlawful use of a motor vehicle. Her bail has been refused. Police thanked the community for their assistance in progressing the investigation.

Will’s a wildlife helper By Margaret Maccoll Noosa’s celebrity bush turkey kicked up a scene when he decided to settle in one of Noosa’s premium resorts and build his mound at Peppers Resort & Villas. Wildlife Noosa’s Will Watson said the white turkey, the youngest in several generations to call Noosa home, often spends its days cruising Hastings Street but was outstaying its welcome when it began making a mess, tossing leaves and leaf litter across the road and annoying the visitors. Will decided to step in to avoid a confrontation or eviction and proposed Peppers offer the rare bird a fenced in space, which they did. “It’s a nice safe spot for the mound,” said Will who has placed a camera on the mound for people to watch the turkey’s progress. Will began rescuing wildlife around Noosa several years ago when he returned home to help his ageing parents after a serious car accident 12 years ago ended his career in land engineering. Having always worked on the land and with a love for animals, Will began rescuing sick and injured wildlife and taking them to the RSPCA Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre at Eumundi, Greencross Vets Noosa Civic and Australia Zoo. Will now rescues about 600 animals a year and in 2020 decided to incorporate Wildlife Noosa as a not-for-profit limited liability company and seek charitable endorsements to gather resources to assist animals in need. Will said a payout from his accident had initially covered the costs of his work but had now run out. He recently bought a smaller vehicle to cut fuel costs and a Sea-Doo watercraft to assist with the rescue of seabirds, but his biggest expenses are fuel and equipment for rescuing and transporting rescued wildlife. Will has been joined by a small group of volunteers who help with rescues and provide online resources to inform and educate the public about caring for wildlife and curbing unwanted behaviours such as discarding fishing lines and hooks that regularly end up entangling wildlife. For more information visit Wildlife Noosa on Facebook. Wildlife Noosa has been recommended by Noosa Council staff for an Environment Project & Alliance Grant which will be considered by councillors this month.

Also recommended for the grants are Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA), Hinterland Bush Links Inc and the Noosa Environmental Education Hub. NICA’s two programs shortlisted for grants are A Line in the Sand and Enter the Flyosphere. For A Line in the Sand, NICA, in collaboration with Ozfish Noos,a plan to replace the 30 existing fishing line recovery bins with new, pur-

pose-built and aesthetically pleasing ones and aim to improve recreational fishing waste behaviour by delivering educational information. NICA’s Enter the Flyosphere project aims to improve the long-term survival of migratory shorebirds in the Noosa River through threat assessment surveys and education. The Hinterland Bush Links Inc project aims to engage the local community to restore and

connect local habitat based on a model called Roving Restorers that was initiated in the Blackall Ranges in 2012. The Noosa Environmental Education Hub provides curriculum-based education to young people about ecosystems that support their existence and inform them of the work of local environmental groups in collaboration with traditional custodians.

Blame game claim on highway upgrade delays The Queensland Government has hit back at comments from Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien that it was holding back construction on a four-lane Tiaro bypass, instead blaming a lack of federal funding for the delay. Last week Mr O’Brien said “the State Government won’t finish the four-lane design that it should have put forward in the first place until the end of 2022. That means we may not see major construction until 2024

and that’s just not good enough. People are losing their lives and suffering serious injuries on this outdated and unsafe stretch of highway, and it needs to be fast-tracked and prioritised by the Queensland Government”. However Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the Federal Government needed to provide funding for the project to progress. “If (Mr O’Brien) could guarantee the fund-

ing was still coming, then the TMR project team would need to re-design the road, consult with local property owners and the wider community, as well as engaging the industry through a tender process to construct it,” Mr Bailey said. “All of these stages require time to do the work, so Mr O’Brien can throw around terms like ‘fast track’ all he likes, but it shows he’s just an opportunist politician who doesn’t live in the real world.

“The other thing Mr O’Brien deliberately fails to mention is only $4 million of $85 million in federal funding originally promised for the Tiaro Bypass will be available in the next 12 months (2021-22 ). “About $18 million in fed funding will be available in 2022-23, with the rest flowing after that, so even if Mr O’Brien’s ‘fast track’ fantasy was an option, the federal funding wouldn’t be made available to Queensland to make it happen.”

It’s time to be normal By Phil Jarratt Australia’s botched rollout of the Covid vaccines has resulted in a steep fall down the ladder in a global index of how countries are faring in the pandemic. The respected New York-based Bloomberg news agency’s Covid Resilience Ranking, which previously had New Zealand at number one and Australia two, dropped New Zealand to second at the end of June, with Australia plummeting to seventh of the 53 countries surveyed. The United States, which still tops the world for Covid deaths, at more than 605,000, now also leads the world on the Bloomberg index thanks to a more than 50 per cent vaccination uptake and a booming economy as cities and towns return to normal. Bloomberg is the first to admit that it only takes a new wave of a more contagious variant to change all of that in a nano-second, but its complex analysis of every aspect of the global impact of the pandemic, from quality of life to the death count, and now the new element of “reopening progress” has made compelling reading since the ranking was introduced last November. Introducing the June figures last week, Bloomberg wrote: “Almost a year and a half into the pandemic, the best and worst places to be in the Covid-19 era are increasingly defined by one thing: normalisation. The biggest vaccination drive in history is enabling parts of the globe to abolish mask mandates, relax restrictions and dismantle border curbs, making the magnitude of reopening key to quality of life. Taming cases and deaths was once paramount, along with ensuring a robust health-care system. Now, the ability to essentially turn back the clock and return to prepandemic times is taking on an even greater significance. That’s why we’ve introduced Reopening Progress. Two new metrics capture the ease of moving in and out of a place and how much air travel has recovered, alongside

Party time for Independence Day, Times Square. 10 other measures tracking mortality rates to infection counts, freedom of movement to economic growth.” Australia’s decline on the index shows that while Australians can feel proud and relieved that fast action and strict policies on an international lock-out have made us one of the safest nations on earth, having won that battle we are now in danger of losing the war. As the focus shifts from bringing down

death rates and caseloads to becoming normal again, we lag behind while other countries whose suffering has been far greater, overtake us in opening up borders and revitalising shattered economies. The reasons for this are complex, but at the very heart of the problem is the vaccine take-up. To 30 June, almost eight million vaccine jabs had been administered around the country, but only about eight per cent of adults had

had both doses. A further 30 per cent had had one dose. After a week of disastrous confusion over who could now have the AstraZeneca jab, Prime Minister Scott Morrison finally came out of a radio silence last Friday to introduce a four-point recovery plan, mostly in the hope of calming the irate Labor premiers, but over the first few days of July it was accompanied by a long-overdue ramping up of the vaccine roll-out.

To see how necessary this is, we need only look at the Bloomberg rankings. Of the top five countries recovering the fastest, only New Zealand, where the Covid model is similar to ours, had fewer than 40 per cent of population fully vaccinated. As of 27 june, when the rankings were tabulated, the US had 50.3 per cent, Switzerland in third had 41 per cent, Israel at fourth 59.1 per cent and France fifth at 40.3 per cent. Further down the list at ninth, largely because of recent Delta variant outbreaks, the United Kingdom had 57.1 per cent fully vaccinated. Conversely, at the bottom five of the list only Argentina, with 20 per cent, had vaccinated more than five per cent. Parts of the Asia-Pacific region that performed well in the Ranking until now—like Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia—dropped down as strict border curbs remain in place and a zero-tolerance approach to small virus flareups limit their ability to reopen. Taiwan plunges into the bottom half of the Ranking for the same reasons, accentuated by a lagging

vaccination drive and a resurgent outbreak. The Bloomberg Ranking notes: “While the failure of powerful, developed economies to curb the spread of the coronavirus remains a lasting legacy of the pandemic and leaves a deep scar—the US, UK and parts of Europe have some of the highest mortality-per-capita rates in the world—these places are proving faster and better at exiting the Covid era, mostly thanks to domination of vaccine supplies. In contrast, the Asia-Pacific economies that have populated the top rungs of the Ranking have seen their fortunes fade. “Covid havens, like No. 2-ranked New Zealand and No. 13-ranked Singapore, use border curbs and lengthy quarantines to keep case levels near zero. While life internally has largely returned to normal, they remain shut to the outside world with even a handful of cases triggering the sorts of restrictions highly vaccinated places are abandoning. Sydney was put into a two-week lockdown following the detection of dozens of locally-transmitted in-

Less talk, more of this. fections, and Australians haven’t been allowed to leave the country since March last year. “As others accept that Covid is endemic and move on, these places are at risk of being stuck in cycles of lockdowns … Still, all but quashing Covid, and the internal freedoms that affords has kept places like New Zealand, Australia and China in the top 10.” The most remarkable turnaround described in the Resilience Ranking is undoubtedly that of the United States. While Trump’s America adopted an increasingly cavalier approach that smacked of policy on the run while anyone who disagreed was shown the door, Biden’s America in just six months has simply gotten on with the job, and the job is vaccinating as much of the population as possible, and doing it fast. Australia, on the other hand, put all its vaccine eggs in the one wrong basket, and then changed the rules of engagement every five minutes. ABC’s Covid correspondent Dr Norman Swan said on 7.30 last week: “I’ve been

covering this pandemic since the get-go, and I’ve never seen as much confusion as there is now.” Astrazeneca is okay for over 50s, over 60s, or everyone. We don’t know. Scottie from Marketing doesn’t know. Ask your GP. Confusion reigns. When you look at the clotting statistics, the vaccine is about as dangerous as most of the pills in your medicine cabinet, if you’ve ever read the fine print. It should have been handled as such. Meanwhile, like the US, we need to get over the mountain of misinformation and get on with it. The final word from Bloomberg: “The AsiaPacific, which has relied on shutting out the world to snuff out Covid-19—delivering vastly lower mortality rates—scores poorly on reopening. Border closures and onerous travel quarantine requirements help keep the virus at bay, but leave them increasingly isolated. No Covid-19 has led to a lack of vaccine urgency in some places, (including) New Zealand and Australia.”

Stabbing in Beerwah Police are investigating after a man was stabbed multiple times with a knife in Beerwah on 30 June . Police and emergency services were called to a Karumba Place residence just after 6.30pm following reports of a disturbance between three people outside a home. A 38-year-old man was left with non-life threatening wounds to his neck, arms and hands and was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. A 28-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, who police believe were known to the victim, then fled the scene in a white Holden utility. Police calling on anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone with dashcam or CCTV, to contact police. The Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee has proposed a suite of anchoring, mooring and live-aboard controls for Maritime Safety Queensland’s consideration.

Alleged child groomer charged with further offences

River use change The Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee has proposed a suite of anchoring, mooring and live-aboard controls for Maritime Safety Queensland’s consideration. NRSAC spokesman Nick Hluszko said anchoring and mooring caps, and time limits were used effectively elsewhere in Queensland to tackle overcrowding. “Pleasingly, much of what we’re proposing is able to be covered under existing Queensland maritime safety and waterways management legislation,” he said. “As we all have witnessed, an increasingly overcrowded and misused river system has seen a growing public outcry to have the river cleaned up and much better managed. “The recent provision of full-time MSQ staff resources here has already seen positive outcomes in this area which the NRSAC recognises, appreciates and supports.”

Maritime Safety Queensland General Manager, Angus Mitchell, welcomed NRSAC’s proposals. “We’ll take some time to work through the proposal with the committee and Noosa Council,” Mr Mitchell said. “As part of our work and reviewing what the proposals mean for the community, broad and extensive community engagement will, of course, need to be undertaken and to ensure the community has an opportunity to have a say.” Mr Hluszko said NRSAC welcomed Maritime Safety Queensland’s active interest in investigating anchoring, mooring and liveaboard controls. “MSQ General Manager, Angus Mitchell, expressed positive support for the principles of these recommendations and committed to take them away for thorough assessment by

MSQ with other state departments.” Mr Mitchell and Noosa Council CEO Brett de Chastel, who co-chaired the NRSAC meeting, thanked the committee members for their ongoing work. “The Stakeholder Advisory Committee has done a terrific job of working through their represented groups and local community concerns about the river and suggesting a set of proposals which the committee can continue to refine through extensive community consultation and with MSQ and Council,” Mr de Chastel said. Council and Maritime Safety Queensland established the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee as a way for key community members to provide objective advice and recommendations towards the management and sustainable use of the Noosa River and its catchment.

A man who allegedly groomed and supplied drugs to a teenage girl he met online has been charged with further offences relating to the indecent treatment of another girl in the Caloundra area. It will be alleged the second victim was identified as part of ongoing investigations by Caloundra Child Protection Investigation Unit following the arrest of the man on 22 June. The 40-year-old man has been charged with a further 10 offences relating to a 14-year-old girl including six counts of supply drugs to a minor under 16 and two counts each of carnal knowledge with children under 16 and indecent treatment of children under 16. He was due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 29 June. It is alleged the man met both girls via social media, engaged with them on several occasions and supplied them with drugs. Police are appealing for anyone with further information in relation to the offences or potential victims of the man to come forward.

Fine fight for rescuer By Abbey Cannan A volunteer wildlife rescuer in Noosa is calling on Council to have some “compassion” as he plans to fight a parking fine he received while rescuing a pelican. Goetz von Schweinfurth, who spends his days rescuing local wildlife and delivering them to wildlife hospitals and carers for rehabilitation, is taking his $100 parking fine to court after Noosa Council officers refused to revoke the infringement. Goetz said it was not about the money, but the principle of the matter. “I’ve been rescuing wildlife for 18 years in the Noosa Council area and never had a problem until I decided to apply for a parking permit to be closer to the wildlife, especially along the Noosa River because we get at least four animals a week there with fish hooks in them,” he said. “I asked the council if they would be able to, under their discretionary powers, enable me to park there to rescue injured animals. “All of a sudden I’ve received a parking infringement notice for $100, while I was urgently picking up fish from The Boathouse to catch an injured animal. I was only there for five minutes, no longer. I emptied the fish and went back to The Boathouse to give the bucket back and within that time they gave me the fine. “I had my emergency blinkers on and my signs on my car which says I’m doing a wildlife rescue.” As a volunteer, Goetz said he was shocked and upset at the infringement from council parking officers. “I don’t get paid for this. I’m a volunteer and I’m doing a community service which council is not involved with. We need people here who care about the wildlife. All they seem to be focused on is giving a fine,” he said. “People ring me up and I get an average of

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a kangaroo that’s been hit on Eumundi Road or a snake in a house, we are there. “Council knows my car and my registration number. Why should they be so vindictive and come after me when they know I’m there nearly every day? “Now I’ve got no choice except to go to court and explain myself to the magistrate because I feel this is a very serious issue.”

Goetz said he was no stranger to fighting for the right cause. For 30 years he worked in Papua New Guinea as a patrol officer with the Australian and British governments, moving to consultancy after independence. His services to the community were recognised by the Queen who awarded him an Order of the British Empire (OBE). “It’s about commonsense and compassion,” he said.

A Noosa Council spokesmen said they had endeavoured to work with Mr Goetz to allow him to carry out his wildlife rescue work. “Council considered Mr Goetz’s application for a parking permit to park for longer than signed. Such a permit does not allow someone to park illegally in loading zones, park land or authorised officer bays,” Local Laws Manager Sunil Kushor said. “These are offered in good faith and we expect them to be used in accordance with the parking regulations. “Our officers have been very accommodating regarding this individual and have had numerous discussions requesting him to comply with the timed parking regulations. “While we appreciate the good work, he does rescuing animals, we have informed the individual that doesn’t give him the right to park illegally or in specially designated disability bays,” Mr Kushor said. Mr Kushor said anyone who wished to appeal a parking fine had the ability to lodge a submission through the Administrative Appeals process.

Show is still in the dark By Margaret Maccoll For the second year the Noosa Show Society looks set to miss out on Noosa Council funding to install floodlights at its main arena. The application for $30,000 was knocked back at council’s Services and Organisation Committee meeting on Monday. State and Federal Governments have already promised almost $164,000 to upgrade the Pomona Showgrounds, but society president Charlie Pattison now fears without the hoped-for $30,000 from council they may be obliged to return $85,675 to the Federal Government. Mr Pattison said the federal funding represented half the cost of the lighting improvements but was conditional on matching funding coming from the show society. He said the society committed $55,675 and sought the remaining $30,000 from a council grant. However, the federal funding was timesensitive with acquittal of the money required by the end of the financial year a condition of the unexpected windfall to the show society from the government’s $20 million Regional Agricultural Show Development Grants Program. Mr Pattison said he’d managed to obtain an extension on the federal funding until the end of September but was gutted at the news on Monday the show society looked like it would again fail to obtain council funding. When councillor Amelia Lorentson asked at council’s meeting why the show society had not been granted funding, she was told by the officer the application had not provided a “demonstrated need” for the lighting or its “benefit to the community”. She was also told had the show society provided adequate evidence of the need for the lighting and benefit to the community it would have qualified for the grant funding. In his application Mr Pattison said the project was “vital for the Noosa Hinterland communities as there were no other facilities with-

Noosa show lucks out on council funding. in the region that could provide for twilight and evening equestrian, cattle and similar rural style sporting and recreational competitions as well as community events. This will also benefit local businesses due to the increase in visitors to our facilities when these events are being held”. The application said current activities at the show ground included pony club, show jumping, dressage, gymkhana, hack days and

other equestrian events with the possibility of future night time events including rodeos, twilight pony club musters, camp drafts, dog trials, twilight markets and shows such as horse show Rooftop Express and bike stunt show The Eljay Freestyle Entertainment show. “These events are the type of entertainment that could be held within the main arena with upgraded lighting,” Mr Pattison said. “The current arena lighting is estimated

at an average of 10 Lux, totally inadequate to host night events. The completed lighting upgrade will achieve a minimum average of 100 Lux.” But council officers said the application lacked documentation from potential users of their willingness to use the showgrounds under lights. In the show society’s application Mr Pattison said lighting would provide a vastly improved facility for showground users, fill a void in current infrastructure, provide a venue for local businesses and enable events to attract more tourists to the hinterland. The showgrounds have already been identified as a disaster centre after being used during the 2019 Noosa bushfires by those fleeing their home with farm animals and pets and endorsed by the Noosa Trails Masterplan as a place where horse riders can stable their horses overnight. An evaluation of the district’s preparedness following the fires revealed inadequate facilities to meet the food distribution needs of evacuees or disaster management crews that might use the showgrounds as a base. Consequently the show society was successful in obtaining a $78,000 grant to improve its Iris Maher Food Hall which could be used as a meals and food preparation centre in an emergency. The money was made available under the joint Federal/State Governments’ Bushfires Recovery Program. The proposed arena lighting, now in doubt, could be used to illuminate an area for emergency landing of helicopters at night in addition to improving safety at the grounds, Mr Pattison said. An overall $250,000 budget to upgrade the showgrounds now hangs in the balance. Mr Pattison said he couldn’t understand the difficulties he’d faced obtaining council funding for a publicly used facility when other levels of government had been forthcoming. A final decision on the grants will be made at council’s Ordinary Meeting on 15 July.

PTSD dogs are four-legged marvels for our veterans Established in 2018 by local veteran Roger Weeks and his wife Angie, PTSD Dogs Australia, is dedicated to rescuing and training unwanted dogs to support military and emergency services personnel affected by Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). Noosa MP Sandy Bolton visited this fabulous organisation and their furry buds recently to see the impact they are having on helping those affected by PTSD to overcome the trauma from their experiences and lead positive and healthy lives. “Recently at the Tewantin Noosa RSL Healthy Minds/Health Bodies Forum, the desperate need to look after those who have looked after us, has never been made clearer. These dogs are one part of the healing journey for our service men and women and frontliners, and demand outstrips the cur-

rent supply,” she said. The free service is run by local volunteers from a rented property in Tewantin, which is limited in how many furry assistants can be trained, hence the call out for a larger facility. Co-founder Angie Weeks explained the organisation was not able to meet the high demand, with each dog costing around $40,000 to train. “While we are on the cusp of receiving funding assistance to meet the training requirement, we desperately need to expand to a larger, all-weather premise to house our support dogs and to provide training facilities for the dog trainers,” said Ms Weeks. Ms Bolton is calling for anyone who sees the incredible value in this service who may have a suitable site or be in a position to pur-

chase a site on behalf of the organisation, to contact Roger or Angie. “Having listened to those who have these PTSD dogs as their companion, the difference it has made to their, and these fourlegged friends’ lives, is incredible. The importance of mental health support for our frontliners and veterans cannot be underestimated. The Noosa community has always been there to support those in their time of need, and I am asking anyone who can assist in any way, to please put their hand up to help this fabulous organisation, or contact my office,” Ms Bolton said. For more information or to get in touch, contact Sandy Bolton MP’s office on 5319 3100 or noosa@parliament.qld.gov.au or ptsddogs.org.au

Noosa welcomes funding Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart has welcomed the Queensland Government’s $4 million investment in a host of Council infrastructure projects, to be rolled out over the next three years. An upgrade of the Peregian Beach skate park, plus footpaths, replacement park furniture, foreshore shelters, barbecues, and further public amenity upgrades are among a range of projects the funding will support. “We’re thrilled to receive a share of the 2021-24 South East Queensland Community Stimulus Package toward brand new infrastructure, plus maintenance and upgrades to existing community assets,” the Mayor said. “There’s $175,000 towards upgrading the skate park at Peregian Beach, which we’ll design this financial year and build in 2022/23. “With $50,000 for the renewal of park furniture along Gympie Terrace, and a further $160,000 to freshen up the park shelters, it’s a welcome boost for one of our most popular recreation spots.

The Noosa Aquatic Centre will receive a new shade sail above the 25 metre pool as part of a $4 million boost for local infrastructure projects. “Topping it off is $140,000 to replace a range of public barbecues around the shire. “More than half a million dollars will be spent building a number of missing links in

our pathway network, as identified in our Walking and Cycling Strategy.” Public toilet amenities at Seaview Terrace and Ed Webb Park at Sunshine Beach are

among those in line for a refresh with the state funding. “Out in the hinterland, there’s also $30,000 set aside for asbestos removal at Cooran Hall, and further funds to freshen up Noosa Museum at Pomona, the Kin Kin community centre plus other council-owned buildings,” Mayor Stewart said. “Meanwhile, at the Noosa Aquatic Centre, we’ll install a new shade sail above the 25-metre pool.” She said the projects would be delivered progressively over the next three years, with new showers and rockwall seating at Main Beach among the first projects ready to start. “We are very grateful to the State Government for the 2021-24 South East Queensland Community Stimulus Package funding. The projects we’re able to deliver with it will help support our community’s wellbeing and create jobs,” Mayor Stewart said.

Unitywater freezes water and sewerage usage charges Unitywater has frozen its usage charges for water and sewerage for the seventh consecutive year as part of its ongoing commitment to keeping customers’ bills as low as possible. Unitywater chairman Michael Arnett said the utility froze all water and sewerage prices last year in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and water and sewerage usage charges were frozen for five consecutive years prior to that. “Our priority is maintaining high-quality, safe and reliable services for our customers, while working to keep bills low for these essential services,” Mr Arnett said. The average Sunshine Coast and Noosa

customer will pay about 1.4 per cent more per annum, or $20, which includes a $15, or 3.5 per cent, increase in the State Government bulk water price. State Government bulk water charges are passed through to Unitywater customers at cost. Unitywater will keep its sewerage access charges frozen for the second consecutive year, with a slight increase in water access charges of $5 per annum. The average 2021-22 bill for a Sunshine Coast and Noosa residential household (using 139kL per year or 380L per day) will be $1440, up from $1420 in 2020-21. Usage charges on an average customer’s

NOOSA: Shop 4, Seahaven Resort, 13 Hastings Street T: 07-5474 5871

bill are about 43 per cent, which gives customers more options to lower their bill by reducing consumption. Unitywater chief executive officer George Theo said the utility continued to support customers during the ongoing uncertainty of Covid-19 and the impacts of the pandemic. “We encourage customers who may have trouble paying their bill to contact us as soon as possible so that we can help them,” Mr Theo said. Unitywater will invest almost $1 billion in water and sewerage infrastructure over the next five years. Mr Theo said the utility continued to in-

vest in the network, focusing on sustainable outcomes for the community, while keeping prices as low as possible for customers. “Unitywater plans to invest about $229 million on its water supply and sewerage infrastructure during 2021-22,” he said. “Some of the water and sewerage network investment will be directed to projects accommodating growth, including emerging communities like Aura and Harmony. “This year, more than one-third (34 per cent) of the capital investment will go towards renewing infrastructure to ensure our current assets perform at the standards required to meet customers’ needs.”

Council budgets surplus A modest operating surplus and a general rate rise of no more than CPI for most ratepayers are the cornerstones of the Noosa Council budget, handed down today. Mayor Clare Stewart said the budget represented Council’s commitment to deliver on community priorities in an affordable, responsible manner. “Through our community consultation on the budget, it was evident that residents wanted more funds directed to infrastructure, community initiatives and the environment,” she said. “We are in a unique, post-crisis environment and this budget certainly takes that into account.” Council is forecasting a surplus of $309,000 – a year earlier than predicted as part of its four-year COVID-19 Recovery Plan. Seventy-five per cent of ratepayers will see a general rate increase of no more than CPI of 1.5 per cent. When including all rates and charges, an average residential property owner can expect a total increase in their rates notice of $44, equivalent to about 85 cents a week. Council is maintaining the current five per cent discount period on general rates. “We have maintained our discount for eligible pensioners and scrapped the three-year wait for new property owners to qualify for the pensioner discount,” Mayor Stewart said. Cr Stewart said the past 12 months had been challenging, but council had continued to respond in an appropriate and financially responsible way. An extensive review of rating categories had been conducted to produce a more equitable system across the shire for all ratepayers. “We have introduced a category for transitionary accommodation or short-stay properties which addresses the impact guests of these

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart properties have on the demand for council services and infrastructure,” she said. “We are making the tough decision to meet

the growing needs of our community,” she said. The Sustainable Transport Levy is back at pre-COVID levels, while the Environment Levy

increases to $8 and the Heritage Levy is up $3.50. Both are still below pre-COVID levels. A new Bushfire Resilience and Response Levy will fund a doubling of hazard reduction burns and increase fire trail maintenance across the shire. One of the initiatives is a $2 million commitment for the Peregian Beach Digital Hub Fire Tech Living Lab. There’s also more funding for backburns and creating new fire access trails across the shire. “During the pandemic, we invested heavily in the community and this budget builds on that investment,” Cr Stewart said. There is a 10 per cent increase in the community grants program, an additional community development officer to be employed and a $276,000 boost in funding for environment levy initiatives. “Considering the challenges we have faced, I am incredibly proud to be delivering a budget of this calibre. “We have put a focus on delivering tangible outcomes for our community, providing grassroots-style projects that will make a difference to the lives of our residents,” Cr Stewart said. BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS: $47 million Capital Works program, which includes stage one of the Tewantin Bypass. $7.5 million to replace seven bridges across the shire. $500,000 for an additional weighbridge at the Noosaville Waste Facility. $1.5 million to upgrade the Pomona section of the Noosa Hinterland Recreation Trail. $2.52 million for ongoing tourism promotion in the shire. $5.3 million for road resurfacing and gravel road re-sheeting. $636,000 to implement initiatives in the new Walking and Cycling Strategy. $260,000 for ongoing management of the Noosa River.

Moves to cut fire risks More planned burns, additional fire trails, extra staff resources and wider trails all feature in Council’s new plan to reduce Noosa’s bushland reserve fire risk. “Our aim is to better protect homes and lives from fire and generally boost the safety of anyone who visits our bushland reserves,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. Community input helped shape the new Bushfire Reserve Strategic Fire Management Plan. Endorsed by Council this week, it replaces the 2015 plan. “The new plan calls for up to seven planned burns a year, widening of almost two kilometres of existing fire trail around our bushland reserves, and the creation of two kilometres of brand new fire trail,” the Mayor said. “Importantly, we’ll appoint a dedicated fire management officer to train up our own staff so we can carry out our own controlled burns without relying on private contractors.

Noosaville fire smouldered for weeks. “As specialised contractors are under huge demand, it can be very hard to get them to come to Noosa when the conditions are right

for planned burns. Our new plan calls for seven burns a year, which will be much more achievable with the addition of a dedicated fire

management officer than with our current system of using only contractors.” Principal Environment Officer Peter Milne said Noosa Shire had diverse landscapes and each bushland reserve required individual assessment to determine what fire mitigation measures were needed, while still conserving biodiversity values. “While bushland reserves occupy a relatively small area of the shire - four per cent the challenge is that many of the reserves are very closely integrated with our urban areas,” he said. The Mayor said Council was committed to being more proactive in protecting the shire from bushfires by acting on lessons learnt from the 2019 fires which burnt more than 2060 hectares. “This Council is committed to working closely with QFES and our rural firies to help alleviate the very real concerns our residents have about fires.”

CIB chief recognised with Australian Police Medal Sunshine Coast CIB officer in charge detective senior Sergeant Daren Edwards was one of seven Queensland police officers to this year be awarded the Australian Police Medal (APM). Detective Senior Sergeant Daren Edwards started his policing career in the Northern Territory in 1986 and served in a range of investigative areas including the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) and the Serious Crime Squad and Tactical Intelligence Unit. He joined the QPS in 1995 and was seconded to the National Crime Authority in 1998 where he was engaged in high level targeting of international criminals involved

in drug distribution and importation. From 2000 to 2011 he performed duties in the State Crime Operations Command. In 2011, he was promoted to the rank of Detective Senior Sergeant and then later that year, Officer in Charge of the Sunshine Coast CIB where he currently serves. Police Minister Mark Ryan said he was proud to recognise the seven officers who display courage, fairness and pride in all that they do for the Queensland community. “The deserving APM recipients each have shown commitment and professionalism to all their duties,” Minister Ryan said. “They have each provided dedicated

Commissioner Katarina Carroll said each of the APM recipients were awarded for their distinguished service and commitment to their roles. “The Australian Police Medal is a fitting acknowledgment for the outstanding contribution given by these officers and recognition of their service to the community,” she said. “Each of these officers were selected for their exceptional skills and leadership in

Free help for builders and homeowners hit by Covid Homeowners and builders caught in the “perfect storm” of rising prices and material shortages now have access to free help to get their homes built. The Accelerated Builder/Consumer Dispute (ABCD) service went live on 1 July with free professional mediators to help frustrated homeowners and embattled builders find a way to get their homes completed. Minister for Public Works Mick de Brenni said the Palaszczuk Government had taken action after industry groups pleaded for help for members caught between the pandemic’s effect on global supply chains and the boom in construction activity across the state. Critical shortages in timber and steel products and roofing workers added to a long list of hard-to-find products means some builders are struggling to keep going on homes or facing huge cost increases. “Covid, HomeBuilder and low interest rates, when added to Queensland’s strong

economic recovery from the pandemic, have drawn more people to move to the state, creating a ‘perfect storm’ for supplies and skills shortages,” Mr de Brenni said. “The ABCD will give homeowners and builders a way to get together with the help of a professional problem solver and achieve what both sides ultimately signed up for – builders want to get the job done and homeowners want to get into their homes.” The independent third-party mediation service is available through the QBCC website and expected to run for the next 12 months. Queensland’s $45 billion construction industry and its 240,000 jobs were a critical part of the Palaszczuk Government’s Covid-19 Economic Recovery Plan, Mr de Brenni said. “We are working hard with key industry stakeholders including Master Builders Association Queensland, the Housing Industry Association and Building Industry Products

Council to support consumers, contractors and manufacturers through the current challenges,” Mr de Brenni said. Housing Industry Association executive director Queensland Mike Roberts said builders were under pressure not of their own making with costs soaring within contracts that were already signed. “This situation is no one’s fault,” Mr Roberts said. “We need people to be patient and understanding and we thought a mediation process would be useful.” Master Builders Deputy CEO Paul Bidwell said after months of lobbying and consultation the new framework woud be welcomed by the residential building sector in Queensland and help to achieve better outcomes for those facing the impact of shortages of materials and trades. “Designed to open the lines of communi-

cation, this new framework will arm builders and their customers with the right information to discuss reasonable and realistic solutions and navigate the impact of these shortages, delays and cost escalations,” Mr Bidwell said. “The reality is the current situation is through no fault of builders or their clients but merely a perfect storm created by the HomeBuilder grant, ultra-low interest rates, record interstate migration and the early access to Super scheme. “While it’s not a silver bullet and won’t solve everyone’s woes, it is a significant step forward and will hopefully ease some of the pressure. “Once this new framework starts to make inroads, we look forward to working with the State Government on a longer-term dispute resolution process to further improve how building disputes in Queensland are handled.”

Reed & Co supports kids Since opening in 2018, a Noosa prestige real estate company has raised over $437,000 for children’s hospital equipment. Reed & Co Estate Agents, in collaboration with the LOYAL Foundation, the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, and the Noosa community, together have now raised almost half a million dollars to donate 41 pieces of essential and often, life-saving paediatric equipment for regional hospitals around Australia. Loyal Foundation Founder Anthony Bell OAM said he supports the Humpty Dumpty Foundation because every time a piece of medical equipment is donated through the foundation, 100 cents of the dollar goes to delivering that specific piece of equipment to the hospital or health service which has an urgent need for it - providing an immediate, real and tangible outcome. Reed & Co owner and founder Adrian Reed said the Reed & Co Charity Gala is about making a positive impact, helping make a difference and be the change that could ultimately save a child’s life. “Now more than ever, hospitals and health services need our help, and it’s our collaboration with the Loyal Foundation and the Humpty Dumpty Foundation that help make this possible.” “A lot of generous people from our community have helped make a difference; I would like to thank our guests for their ongoing support and generosity on the night. A special mention goes out to all of the sponsors; it’s with their support that has helped make the night a success”. The company’s annual charity gala was held on Saturday, 19 June, at the Sofitel Noosa Pacific. An invitation-only event, hosted by Humpty Dumpty Foundation Patron and TV personality Ray Martin AM, was attended by 150

guests, including some of Australia’s greatest sporting stars, Pat Rafter, Tim Horan AM, Layne Beachley AO, and Humpty Dumpty Foundation Founder and Executive Chairman Paul Francis OAM.The 2021 event raised over $257,000 to donate 24 pieces of vital paediatric medical equipment. This year’s Humpty Wish List was focused on supporting regional hospitals in Queensland but saw the last-minute addition of two significant pieces of equipment urgently required by Wagga Wagga Base Hospital in New South Wales and the second, by Gove Hospital in Northern Territory. With a combined value of $78,570, both

items were kindly donated on the night by generous members of the Noosa community. Dr Karl van de Merwe, of Noosa Hospital, said on the night, everything that is available to be donated is critical. It helps frontline hospital staff and makes a real difference to hospitals and healthcare services across Australia. “These donations make the hardest part of our job a little bit easier, and more importantly, they give children the best chance possible,” he said. “Items like the Rad-7 Pulse Oximeter will help put the odds back in favour of a child fighting for their life.” Humpty Dumpty Foundation Founder and

Executive Chairman Paul Francis OAM said, “It is only with the support of generous donors that the Humpty Dumpty Foundation can help frontline staff and make a real difference to hospitals and healthcare services across Australia.” “Against the backdrop of incredibly tight health budgets, it is more important than ever we continue our critical work of providing essential medical equipment to hospitals in need right across the country.”Plans have already started for the 2022 event.

New leader USC Australia has appointed Professor Ross Young as its new Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation). Professor Young was previously the Executive Dean of the Faculty of Health at Queensland University of Technology, where he had also worked as Executive Director of the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation. Prior to that he was the Director of The University of Queensland’s Behaviour Research and Therapy Centre. Professor Young is a clinical psychologist and is internationally renowned for research that integrates psychological and biological risk factors to better understand and treat mental illness. He has held visiting appointments at the University of Glasgow and the University of California, Los Angeles, and was recently Chair of Trauma Rehabilitation at the Jamieson Trauma Institute, which was established by Queensland’s Metro North Health in 2017. Professor Young, who will start at USC in late August, said he was impressed by the University’s interdisciplinary approach to research and the strong potential to build on local relationships with organisations such as the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service. He said COVID-19 had played a part in him accepting the research leadership role at USC because he had seen regional Australia “step up and deliver” during the pandemic. “Another factor that has shaped my decision is USC’s strong sense of community, which includes an eagerness to partner with industry and the community that we serve to create opportunities,” he said. “USC has really embraced this. It resonates with my values and is something that we must continue to advance.” Professor Young said he was keen to amplify the impact of USC’s research nationally and internationally, especially its work in key areas

USC Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Helen Bartlett said Professor Young would bring a strong background of executive academic leadership and impressive track record in clinical practice, health and medical research. “He also has extensive experience in international partnerships, commercialisation and licensing, and research that advances the use of new digital and technological solutions to solve important health and human challenges,” she said. “As we continue to unlock the innovation of our regions, Professor Young will help us further work with government, industry and community to translate our research findings into impactful outcomes. We are excited to welcome him aboard.”

USC Australia is set to play a key role in a Marine Bioproducts Cooperative Research Centre (MB-CRC) that was announced today by the Australian Government. The centre, to be led by Flinders University in Adelaide, will include 68 Australian and international research, industry and government partners working collaboratively to transform Australia’s emerging marine bioproducts sector into a sustainable, clean and globally competitive industry. The consortium will fast-track the growth of Australia’s next generation of marine bioindustries to meet growing global demand for certified, safe and sustainable products including plant-based proteins, nutraceuticals, omega 3 oils, cosmetics, agrochemicals and bioplastics. In announcing the MB-CRC, the Australian Government committed $59 million to kickstart the wide-ranging, decade-long research and development program that is expected to drive new high-value products, commercial technologies and employment opportunities. Its CRC program supports industry-led collaborations between industry, researchers and the community with a focus on research and development that will have commercial uses. MB-CRC research director Professor Wei Zhang of Flinders University said much of Australia’s diverse marine bioproducts were yet to be explored and developed for new and improved health, nutrition, aquaculture, agriculture and biomaterial applications. “The global marine biotech industry is rapidly expanding, with an estimated value of more than $176 billion,” Professor Zhang

said. “We are particularly excited because this program will enable our researchers to build the marine bioproducts industry with a focus on jobs growth and sustainability.” USC’s involvement in the MB-CRC will include work by its GeneCology Research Centre, which offers unique expertise in analytical science and molecular biology. USC Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) Professor Roland De Marco said the MB-CRC was a fabulous opportunity for USC to stamp its authority in the field of biodiscovery, which is one of the University’s key research strengths.

Fewer trucks, not quarry shut down I am not sure that the comments by Ashley Spresser and Chris Fairlless (NT 2/7) are helpful in the issue of quarry trucks from Kin Kin. The quarry underwent a material change of use several years ago that has seen a massive increase in the volume of trucks travelling to and from the quarry. Before that change of use, the quarry and

the community were not at odds, so to assume that the Kin Kin residents want the quarry shut down completely is incorrect. What they want is a greatly reduced volume of truck traffic. The very reasonable request, for safety reasons, that the trucks not operate when the school buses are travelling the narrow, windy Kin Kin Pomona road, has been ignored by the quarry operators, Cordwells, as has the request for a greatly reduced truck volume. In the meantime, these huge trucks are continually damaging roads and it is us, not Cordwells, who are ultimately paying for the endless road repairs. The council has issued several large fines to Cordwells which they have avoided paying by challenging the fines in court. Their lack of consideration, and lack of adherence to council conditions are making them a liability to our hinterland towns, and making the lives of many residents very difficult. This situation cannot continue. Joy Ringrose, Pomona

Not all STA fault Noosa councillors, perhaps you need a reality check when you blame parking problems on STA. I have lived in Noosaville for 23 years, not far from the Lions park. We have tolerated jammed streets with cars parked attending council promoted events. Often it’s difficult to get out of the driveway. We abut a resort and in our street there is an overflow of vehicles either from guests or residents.

We have a home hosted business with off street parking. Noosa, over many years, has been promoted to the extent that the majority of accommodation is short term. So please STOP pointing your finger at STA being the cause of all problems. Judy Davies, Noosaville

Come clean on CHAP Margaret Maccoll’s front page report of the first CHAP Roundtable meeting (NT, 25/6) was interesting as far as it went. If this is to be a truly open, transparent and genuinely consultative process then I think the parties invited to participate need to put all their cards on the table and be prepared to have their proposals and objectives fully scrutinised. The discussions and the final outcomes need to reflect the interests of the broader Noosa community and not the sectional interests of a small group of disaffected residents. In this regard the Eastern Beaches Protection Association needs to come clean and explain to the wider community why they are going behind the backs of Noosa Council (our elected representatives) by employing a high-profile lobby group to argue their case. The lobby group, Next Level Strategic Services, lobbied extensively on behalf of Adani, a number of Bowen Basin mining companies and high-profile developers. The choice of this lobby group in itself should be of concern to Noosa residents. Why have they engaged a lobby group; what are they lobbying for; who are they lobbying; and why are they spending so much energy

lobbying the State Government. The community deserves to know the extent to which the Eastern Beaches Protection Association and their fellow travellers are seeking State Government intervention in Noosa’s affairs and what changes to state planning legislation or regulations, if any, they are lobbying to change. Genuine, grass roots community and residents’ groups do not need to engage high profile, costly lobbyists to get their message across. John Hare, Marcus Beach

Speed signs needed Noosa spending. Typical. Rates are going up but in Podargus Pde, Peregian which has children’s parks, school buses, dog walkers, oldies, kids on bikes etc. and now seems to be used as an alternative to David Low Way, we can’t even get 50km speed signs. Drivers fly off DLWay at the roundabout which is a 40 zone doing any speed above 40 and cut every corner along Podargus, making exit for those residents on the corner a game of Russian Roulette, and do any speed they want. We want 50 signs stencilled on the road in big letters preferably, as that is where drivers look, not little signs positioned halfway to Mars. Three years I’ve tried to get action. How about spending outside the Tourist Zone and on real resident’s needs. Stuart (name supplied), Peregian

On The Soapbox Rex Halverson, NBRF Chair

Biosphere status for all Last month Noosa Council unanimously approved a new four-year partnership agreement with the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF), recognising our successful contribution in supporting the Noosa Biosphere on behalf of both the Noosa community and Council. We have achieved a host of successful outcomes in recent years that will have ongoing benefits for Noosa’s environment, iconic species and our experience of living in a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Our projects have helped deliver seed funding to local conservation groups, schools, business, research institutes and PhD students – all working to maintain our Noosa Biosphere Reserve as a special place for generations to come. As part of the conversation around this decision there were some articles and social media posts that have misrepresented the role and structure of the NBRF. As we look forward to the future, we want to address these now. Biosphere reserve status recognise sites of excellence around the world for their commitment to maintaining a balance between people and place. Under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) programme, biosphere reserve communities are living laboratories that use research to seek innovative approaches to biodiversity conservation and sustainable economic and cultural initiatives. Noosa is one of only four Biosphere Reserves in Australia and part of a global network of more than 700 sites. As the governing authority of the Noosa Biosphere (the Noosa Shire LGA plus 3km offshore), the Noosa Council, as the founding member, established the NBRF in 2015 for the purpose of advancing the MAB programme and to manage the charitable Noosa Biosphere Reserve Trust. The Foundation, however, has no direct executive or operational power over activities under any government control. The role of the NBRF is focused on developing projects and research that advances the conservation of healthy land, water and wildlife, and fostering sustainable economic development. Recent articles have blurred the line between the functions of the NBRF and the Noosa Community Biosphere Association (NCBA). To be clear, the NBRF was setup by Council to manage the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Trust, and the NCBA was setup as a separate organisation at the same time that would use a membership model to engage the community in Noosa Biosphere activities. The NBRF has no authority over the NCBA though we do seek to work collaboratively in promoting biosphere reserve values. The notion that NBRF is a ‘closed-shop’ is not a true representation of the governance structure or current operational model. The NBRF is managed by a volunteer skillsbased board of up to eight directors, including one council representative to manage the Trust. Membership is made up of current and former directors. Directors are selected through a publicly advertised recruitment process, and anyone can apply. Prospective directors are interviewed by a gender-diverse panel and selected based on their experience and expertise to provide a diversely represented skillset to the board. As some director terms expire in late 2021, opportunities will be forthcoming for members of the community to apply and get involved in shaping the future of the Foundation. We acknowledge the current gender imbalance on the NBRF Board and assure the community we are formally committed to achieving gender equity by 2025. As part of our plan to increase the diversity of input from additional sectors of the community, we recently established an expertise-based advisory panel with one female advisor already on board. We will be calling for expressions of interest for more advisors next month. While we acknowledge concerns from the past, a change to our overall governance structure requires more than simply changing our constitution. We are, however, actively review-

NBRF Chair Rex Halverson ing our management model, in consultation with Noosa councillors, and also including looking to other biosphere reserves globally for best practices. We have also been proactively making internal changes for enhanced community engagement for some time as we are committed to learning from the past and building a better and even more inclusive future for the Noosa Biosphere. To increase our participative approach to projects, we developed the stakeholder symposium model. After delivering three events, they are generating excellent outcomes and community feedback. The symposiums bring together representatives from the community, government and science to identify what gaps exist in the work already being done and the projects or new research needed to achieve shared goals. Currently, less than one per cent of the Council Environment Levy is allocated for operational expenses to NBRF to maintain the

Noosa Biosphere Reserve Trust and to source funding and project partners. Since our inception, the NBRF has consistently delivered at least a 3:1 return on the community’s investment and frequently reports on its progress to council. We also report to UNESCO periodically to demonstrate Noosa’s collective shire-wide ongoing progress as a site of excellence, under the MAB programme. We have also been fostering Noosa’s connection to the world network of biosphere reserves by engaging with other Australian and international coastal biosphere reserves and the Australian MAB National Committee. Looking forward, we recently signed a new MoU with University of the Sunshine Coast to develop more research and education opportunities and we are excited about the future opportunities this and similar partnerships will bring to the Noosa community. We have launched a new monthly newslet-

ter, increased our social media outreach, are attending community events, regularly communicate our progress in the local media and have established our annual Noosa Biosphere Gala (set for 2 November). Biosphere reserves are about communities working together and we believe Noosa is leading the way. Noosa Biosphere Reserve status is a celebration of our community and environment. It symbolises the values in which we live by and recognises decades of our community’s collective efforts and commitment to protect our special place. Upholding this status is a privilege that we all have a stake in maintaining. It is up to all of us to ensure Noosa continues to be a special place for future generations and we are pleased to be playing a part. Stay up to date by visiting our website to learn about the work we do (noosabiosphere. org.au) and subscribe for up to date information on how you can get involved.

Live and Original at RSL The Sunshine Coast is home to a talent trove of musicians and the last 12 months have served up some tough times to them. Many of us have missed hearing live music and getting on the dance floor. Thanks to a grant from the Australian Government Live Music Australia program, Tewantin Noosa RSL has got you covered with their new “Live and Original” sessions on Saturday’s in the Diggers Bar from 7pm. They have some great original bands are booked over the next five months.

his phenomenal voice, cheeky wit and gritty, animated tales. 10 July: Andrea Kirwin Australian/Fijian singer-songwriter with a warm stage presence, retro soulful sound and a knack for storytelling.

First up is Sugarbag Blonde with rock and blues; followed by Total Radio Silence, offering post grunge rock reminiscent of Soundgarden and Foo Fighters; and finally youth metal band, Flira.

24 July: Anna & Jordon Offering a unique brand of indie/folk/pop their music encapsulates the duo’s charm and authenticity. Their music is fun, charming and folky.

From big blues to soulful country, it is music that is real and raw and vulnerable. 7 August: Mayah At just 19-years-old, with her acoustic guitar, kick and harmonies, Mayah plays an arrangement of beautifully constructed melodies. She

tells stories of broken hearts, betrayal, challenge, triumph, love and optimism with a depth and poignancy that belies her young years. 21 August: Mark Porter Influenced by the music that came out of America’s Deep South, Mark’s renditions are raw, played on acoustic and dobro guitars backed by a stomp box. Classic blues with earthy originals, delivered with impressive presence, that is never overstated. 28 August: Jesse Taylor Jesse is an Indie Folk artist inspired by coastal travels, adventures, surfing and enjoying life. His music has been used in the Hollywood film industry and various tv shows around the world. His music stirs up raw emotion and makes you want to travel coast to coast.

Noosa Regional Gallery has called for entries in this year’s Lyn McCrea Memorial Drawing Prize. The annual competition started in 2016 and typically attracts entries from emerging and established artists Australia-wide. The Gallery established the Prize with John McCrea, in memory of Sunshine Coast art educator and art collector, Lyn McCrea, to promote excellence in drawing. “John McCrea has been very generous to donate money to ensure this prize continues Lyn’s legacy here in Noosa. Drawing is something that Lyn was very passionate about,” Noosa Regional Gallery director Michael Brennan said. Last year, with the Gallery closed due to

COVID-19, the Prize shifted exclusively online. This year, as in past years, the Prize will include an exhibition of finalists’ works in the Noosa Regional Gallery. “The Lyn McCrea Memorial Drawing Prize continues to attract such an impressive range of artists. We’re confident that by again providing opportunities for Australian artists during these times of uncertainty, it will result in a repeat of last year’s high standard of entry.” Entries are open until Sunday 15 August. Entry is $30 (inc. GST) per work entered. Visit noosaregionalgallery.com.au for more information. The winner receives $5000 prize money. The People’s Choice Award is $1000.

Live art for all at alive! Comedy, the Queensland Ballet, and the acrobats of Cirque Bon Bon will all be taking to the stage at The J in July as part of the annual performing arts festival, NOOSA alive! . The performances are just a few of the incredible events available as part of this year’s program which runs from 15 to 24 July. NOOSA alive! president Andrew Stafford said the J performances would offer something for everyone from the Queensland Ballet performances on the evenings of 15 and 16 July, to comedy with outstanding comedian Akmal on 21 July, to the spectacle of Cirque Bon Bon with two performances on 24 July. “Everyone was very excited about the return of Queensland Ballet to the stage at The J which would showcase a vision of the company’s future through the Jette Parker Young Artists Program, with high energy and vibrant performances suitable for the whole family,” Mr Stafford said. “Whether you already love ballet, or you want to introduce your children or family and friends, you will see featured company dancers delight in two breathtaking pieces including a new work by resident choreographer Natalie Weir.” The Queensland Ballet performances will be on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 July at 7.30pm both nights. Mr Stafford said in a complete contrast to the ballet, Egyptian Australian comedian and actor Akmal Saleh would perform unfiltered and unleashed on Wednesday 21 July at 8pm. With no topic left untouched, this one may not be for the kids, but Akmal will spin comedy gold from his hilarious and unique view of the world. In another contrast, Cirque Bon Bon will perform two shows on Saturday 24 July at 4.15pm and 8.15pm. “This spine-tingling celebration of various artists combines exhilarating energy of strong technical dancers, balancing acts displaying

would go ahead as long as restrictions didn’t prevent it. “There is nothing like a live performance. A screen or a printed page has its place, however, being present for the exchange of physical energy or moving inspiration felt through a live act cannot be replaced,” he said. “We are encouraging everyone to make bookings for the exciting events planned, but if cancellation was caused due to COVID-19 restrictions, then bookings would be eligible for refunds.” To secure tickets or find out more these or other NOOSA alive! events and to secure tickets, visit noosaalive.com.au

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Sunday roast at the Ap Trevor Pepys samples the Apollonian Hotel Sunday roast Way back in the mists of time, when the historic Apollonian Hotel had only recently been moved from its Gympie goldfields home to the shores of Lake Cootharaba at Boreen Point, a winter Sunday afternoon often meant driving out to the Lakes district, top down on the Jimney, Bay City Rollers tartan scarf flapping in the breeze, tonguing for a few cold beers and a Sunday roast like mum used to make. Filling in for mum at the barbecue pit on those glorious sunny afternoons was a young councillor named Bob Abbot, a mere notion of the man he is today, but already trademark smiling behind a bushman’s beard and a mop of black hair. When not burning the pork, Bob might grab a mouth harp from his rucksack, and join the wandering minstrels in the garden to belt out a bush ballad or a 12-bar blues. Ah, those were the days, my friends, and if the detail is not quite how you remember Sunday roast at the Ap, put it down to Trev’s fondness for an icy cold tap beer on a sunny Sunday arvo. But Big Bob definitely had the tongs, no dispute about that. So when one of the brood suggested an impromptu convoy of stretch Hummers to transport several generations of Pepyses upriver to Boreen for a gargle and a graze, Trev could hardly contain his enthusiasm, even if it meant pretending to enjoy kicking the footy around on the lawn with the grandbrats. There was, of course, a fly in the ointment. It being the first weekend of the school holidays, not to mention pre-lockdown, the place was packed. And not only that, but it being the lead-in to the Origin thrashing, the Maroon hordes were already thronging the bar, eager to pour neck oil on the open wound of Queensland’s abysmal performance in the first, knowing in their heart of hearts that it was only going to get worse in the second. Undeterred, however, Trev forcibly removed a few ne’er-do-wells from a terrace table where he could keep an eye on the barbie-queue (see what I did there?) and still warm his butt at the hearth from time to time. Once the security men had calmed the kerfuffle and ushered the riffraff to a table in the Siberian section of the enormous grounds, and the brats were sorted with a group of kids already kicking a ball around, Trev ordered a low-ranking family member to scurry to the bar and fetch him a Japanese Lager ($9) while he surveyed the offering and was soothed by the mellow sounds of one Fiona O’Shea. Everything and nothing had changed about the Apollonian since Trev’s last visit. The gardens have grown up beautifully around the old hoop pine and cedar building, and the trees curl magnificently around the eating and entertainment courtyard. The service is still slop-

py with a smile, and the bush kitchen churns out rough and ready roasts at a rate of knots, which is still not fast enough. In short, it’s still wonderful. Trev and the missus opted to keep it simple and share the groaningly Big BBQ Plate ($25) of two meats, a house salad and baked potato with sour cream. We chose the beef brisket and the pulled pork, foregoing the chicken. Others in our mob went with the chook, and on a snatched taste test, perhaps got the bet-

ter of the deal, the beef and pork having been cooked beyond distinction. And still others chose the beef and pork tacos ($10) which were an absolute winner. In memory of the good old days, Trev stuck with the lager all afternoon while the missus was having her biannual alcohol-free-day, which resulted in a win-win since the considerable savings on wine consumption could be used to offset the Hummer rental. The verdict: As a wise man once told Trev,

if you go with low expectations, you will never be disappointed. The inside kitchen fare might be another matter, but the barbie offering is no culinary masterpiece. Still, it more than makes up for quality with quantity, and let’s face it, you don’t drive that far to bunt, so get into a few frothing ambers, eat your roast, loosen up and love it! Trev did.

Noosa Heads environmental artist and sculptor Angela van Boxtel is asking the Noosa community to help contribute to the making of her next sculpture. Her new sculpture, which can float on the water and will be made entirely from plastic bottle caps, has been selected for Noosa’s Floating Land. The ‘Singled Out’ creator is a prolific DutchAustralian based artist and has made Noosa her home since July 2020. She is hoping to continue her environmental educational work in an exciting new geographical area. Her original and colourful art pieces always made from waste materials have been integral to pushing environmental topics about waste to the forefront in the Australian landscape. The artist is famous for her plastic shopping bag bikinis made entirely from just that - plastic shopping bags - using only a crochet hook and scissors. She is proud to have her first Teeny Greeny Plastic Bag Bikini acquired by the Manly Art Gallery and Museum for its historical museum collection of Fashion within Australia landscape since the start of the century. Art is a great vehicle to talk about environmental issues and for most people it often is a first connection with the issue in a more conversational, non judgemental and threatening way.

The artist says her success was remarkable knowing she has no formal training in the arts. “I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Media and Communications,” Angela said. “Furthermore, my art is made entirely of rubbish. I just made it all up which is actually quite funny.” Her work started when a group that cleaned up beaches regularly in Sydney’s Northern Beaches got her involved in cleaning up (10 years ago) and told her ‘We have to do something’. Over the years she became extremely well educated on the topic of plastic pollution in the ocean, being a long distance ocean swimmer herself. “If you recreate in the ocean, you have to look after it. It’s that simple,” she said. Many people have often asked the artist, ‘Why does one plastic bag matter or one plastic bottle cap?’. “My job as an artist is to have these people think differently to show them it does matter,” Angela said. That’s why her sculptures always concentrate on one single waste material. So people can start looking differently at that one plastic bag, or one bottle lid. Imagine 25 million Australian people thinking that way, that’s 25 million bottle caps. The artist wants people to be part of her art. Her sculpture is about connection in showing

people what happens if all the bottle caps are combined. The bottle caps then become a new ‘fabric’ and you will see their usefulness in a new way and realise that it’s not actually waste at all. Angela’s biggest message is ‘Waste is a resource not yet explored’. Her way of thinking fitted in like a glove with this year’s theme of the Floating Land named ‘At the Edge of Ideas’. The Noosa Art Gallery will be a drop off point for plastic bottle caps. All plastic lids need to be washed and clean. All lids need to be plastic (so no corks, no metal lids of beer bottles and wine). “There is also no clarity around the issue that bottle lids actually can be recycled in the recycle industry... which is an industry almost entirely absent in Australia,” Angela said. “We recycle but where does it go? There is no transparency and trying to find answers is hard. Why are we so secretive about waste? Because mostly it’s a not so nice story at the other end as the simple truth is most of it ends up in landfill. It’s about time to go sit on that ‘edge of ideas’ and just talk, communicate and create new patterns of thinking.” The artist hopes her outcome of the art piece ‘Singled Out’ will be that people will look differently at waste and actively engage in this topic. She is hopeful along the lines of the young

Noosa Heads environmental artist and sculptor Angela van Boxtel is asking the Noosa community to help contribute to the making of her next sculpture. man who once told her, “I never read anything about the issue of plastic pollution until I saw a beautiful girl in a plastic bag crocheted bikini”. Mission accomplished for the self made artist, maybe that Media and Communications degree came in handy after all. For more information visit floatingland. org.au

NAIDOC Week events grow bigger and better During NAIDOC Week 2021 (4-11 July), Queensland communities will come alive with lights, storytelling, community events and more to celebrate the world’s two oldest living cultures. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to acknowledge the lived experiences, centuries of resilience and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Minister for Seniors and Disability Services and Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Craig Crawford said NAIDOC Week celebrations were being held around the country. “Queensland is home to the nation’s second largest population of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples,” Mr Crawford said. 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 July, 2021

“Queenslanders can join celebrations online, using social media or in their community.” This year, the NAIDOC Week theme – Heal Country! – invites all Australians to embrace First Nations’ cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia’s national heritage. “Country that is more than a place—it is inherent to the identity of First Nations’ peoples. “Heal Country is about the need for historical, political and administrative landscapes to adapt, empower and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, nations and heritage. “The Queensland Government is working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres

Islander peoples to support local leadership and community aspirations,” Mr Crawford said. “Self-determination and community-led decision making, as part of the re-framed relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, are at the heart of Queensland’s Path to Treaty, Meriba Omasker Kaziw Kazipa (Torres Strait Islander Traditional Child Rearing Practice) Act and in our state’s role in the new National Agreement on Closing the Gap. “All Queenslanders are invited to join NAIDOC Week celebrations of the continued histories, traditions, diverse cultures and ongoing achievements of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Iconic local landmarks, infrastructure and public spaces including Brisbane’s King

George Square and City Hall, Reddacliff Place sculptures, Tropical Dome, Wickham Terrace car park, Victoria Bridge and Story Bridge, Parliament House, Kurilpa House, QPAC, Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges, Toowoomba Outer Circulating Road, Townsville sign, Wharton Reef Lighthouse, Victoria Bridge and George Roberts Bridge, Old Magistrates Courthouse, Little Fletcher Bridge and Munro Martin Parklands in Cairns, will light up in colours of the Aboriginal flag and Torres Strait Islander flag to celebrate NAIDOC Week 2021. People attending events are reminded to follow current COVID guidelines, maintain good hygiene, keep social distancing and stay home if they are feeling sick, particularly to keep Elders and communities healthy.

NEWS

Helping fix broken hearts By Shoba Sadler Grief can be so intense it can impair a person’s ability to think clearly. Yet society does not accept a person to be withdrawn and “in shock” when their dog or cat dies. People are too embarrassed to ask for time out from work to deal with a pet’s death. Dr Guy Winch, a psychologist and author of the book ‘How To Fix A Broken Heart’ shared his patient’s grief at losing his dog. “I had her for 17 years,” said the patient, wiping away tears. “I knew it would be rough when she died, but I had no idea... I was a total wreck. I cried for days. I couldn’t get any work done. And worst of all, I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. I spent days at work crying in private and muttering ‘allergies’ whenever someone glanced at my puffy eyes.” Dr Winch concluded that society does not recognise how painful pet loss can be and how much it can impair our emotional and physical health. The New England Journal of Medicine reported in October 2017 that after her dog died, a woman experienced “broken heart syndrome”—a condition where severe grief leads to symptoms that mimic a heart attack, including elevated hormone levels that can be 30 times greater than normal. Matthias Lochthofen, the owner of Mary Valley Pet Cremation, Kandanga, has worked with animals all his life. He even moved to Australia due to his love for horses. He is an accomplished equestrian who found that many horse lovers also owned dogs and cats and when the time came to say goodbye to their pets, their grief was not taken seriously. “I started Mary Valley Pet Cremation to take care of all the arrangements that need to be made upon the death of a pet so the owners can grieve properly. “A pet is like your child. In fact the bond goes deeper because, as a child matures, the parent is learning to gradually let go. At each stage of development that child becomes more and more ‘independent’ of the parent. Not so with a pet. You will always be responsible for your pet and that pet will always be your ‘baby’,” said Matthias. “I also found that having a memorial of the late pet helps tremendously in dealing with that grief. When that pet’s ashes are returned in a beautiful timber box or urn, it preserves forever the beautiful memories they shared.”

Matthias Lochthofen, owner of Mary Valley Pet Cremation with Simba. Matthias offers three different packages for dogs and cats, depending on its size. With each package the owners will be guaranteed individual cremation, a certificate with the paw print of the pet, name tag, a lock of fur and the ashes contained in a high quality timber box or brass urn. Owners are also allowed to post a memorial on Mary Valley Pet Cremation website alongside their pets’ photos. Matthias travels to Gympie, Noosa, Cooroy, Pomona, Eumundi and even further afield to Rainbow beach, Kilkivan and Kenilworth. Mary Valley Pet Cremation holds, of utmost importance, the need to treat each demised pet with dignity and respect and ensure that cremation is done individually.

Matthias arrives personally to collect the pet from either the owner’s home or the veterinary clinic. Understandably, the owners are always in distress, but Matthias takes his time to listen to their pain until they calm down for him to take clear instructions. “Matthias was wonderful and very caring at a very emotional time for me, as my family members were away, working. I had to make so many decisions in such a short time by myself,” said Brianna who called Matthias for assistance when her pet passed away five months ago. Leanne Mellick who lost her dog, Izzy, on 28 May 2021, commented, “Words are hard to find to express the respect, compassion and empathy Matthias gave us, coming into our home, sitting and comforting us while we held Izzy

one last time. He genuinely cared and wanted to help to make sure everything was seamless. We can’t thank him enough for all he has done during this difficult time, and delivering a prompt service in returning Izzy’s ashes home in a beautifully finished timber box with photo and memorial plaque.” Mary Valley Pet Cremation’s website has a long list of outstanding reviews for their service as shared by Brianna and Leanne. Their Memorial Page is also heart-warming as we get to see the beautiful lively faces of the pets as we remember them in their prime alongside endearing vignettes written by the humans who loved them here on earth.

Jandamarra to judge Mary Valley Art Festival Mary Valley Artslink has secured inspirational artist Jandamarra Cadd as one of the judges for the Mary Valley Art Festival on 2225 July. The Noosa resident has been a finalist in every major portrait art prize in Australia, and is in high demand as an inspirational speaker and ambassador. He will assess the art entries alongside born and bred Queenslander, Don Milner, a self-described visual communicator who gets his inspiration from Australia as a country. Jandamarra Cadd – a Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Warung descendent – also has many stories to tell. His vibrant and expressive portraitures are widely recognised, and the art is a powerful medium to bridge the story telling divide between Aboriginal and mainstream Australia. Jandamarra says painting has been a way of life enabling him to express his creativity and storytelling and in many of his paintings of the human condition, he seeks to be a peaceful voice for unity. He uses a variety of styles and mediums with his unique blend of traditional Aboriginal art techniques along with his own signature contemporary portraiture. Don also uses images to tell stories in his own way through mediums such as acrylics, oils, pastels and charcoal. Unique characters and scenery inspire, colour and enrich his world as an artist. Entries have closed for the rich prize pool over $8000 which draws quality entries from

Jandamarra Cadd will join the panel of judges for the Mary Valley Art Festival. South-East Queensland. The Bendigo Bank Open Award gives the winning artist $2500, there are nine categories for adults, and a Youth Award for 12-17 year olds. Festival viewing runs from 22-25 July at Imbil Public Hall, Edward Street, Imbil with the opening night and award presentations

on Friday 23 July. The event includes the Mary Valley Alive exhibition which celebrates the festival’s 20th anniversary, telling the story of Mary Valley through its flora, fauna and people. For more details visit maryvalleyartslink. com.au

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Big wet, big opportunity What a change in the weather! From light winds, no swell and clear sunny days to big rainfalls, increased swell and swollen rivers. Although this may sound bad, the reality is it can be some of the best fishing, especially after a few days of calm. With the rains filling up the estuaries this sees the Noosa bar flush out a bit making for more defined channels and safer crossings. The bay area receives a good flush of baitfish, making shallow water fishing a must. Offshore has been on hold this week due to conditions and of course lockdown! With the bad weather comes a break and the reef fish will certainly be feeding hard once the bar becomes navigable once more. Sunshine Reef should be firing and there will be some huge sweetlip and emperor hanging around the ledges. Coral trout and smaller cobia will also be around. With two weeks remaining before the annual snapper and pearl perch closure, now is the time to try and catch a few. Snapper are a popular target and they love a floated pilchard on a 4/0-5/0 gang hook and mono line. Mono lines float and present baits better than braided line. If you run braid then use a lengthy top shot of mono like the Shimano Tiagra in 30lb. Another great option are the Shimano Baku Baku jigs. These look like small octopus and have a silicon skirt and twin hooks attached. In the light current and swells, this skirt swims, creating a lot of interest from bigger fish. Off the beaches we are hearing a few more consistent reports of smaller tailor hanging around first light. These fish move in schools so if you see any birds diving or bait fish showering it is likely to be a big school smashing them. This is the time of year when having some 30-50 gram chrome slugs is a must. Many anglers will want to run heavy leaders to prevent bite offs. A top tip is to use a bite leader which is a short length of 40lb fluorocarbon attached to your lighter main leader. This ensures better presentation and casting. The river will be running hard and a new colour resembling chocolate milk. With all the fresh water coming down from the everglades you would be wise to focus all attentions to the lower part of the river around the mouth, Dog Beach, Woods Bays, Frying Pan and the Sound. Now is a great time to use prawn-style soft plastics as all estuary fish eat prawns. Look at the small Chasebaits flick prawn, MMD soft prawn and Zerek ultimate shrimp. These all work on flathead, trevally, big bream, queenfish and jacks if about. For bait anglers, live baits work very well during murky water conditions as its all about vibration. Fish will be using their lateral lines to sense prey now that the visibility is greatly reduced. A great part of dirty water is you can fish heavier so 12-15lb leaders can be used as there are some big flathead turning up.

Joshua Gameiro won last week’’s $100 Tackle World Noosa/ChaseBaits Fish of the Week prize with this 70cm jewfish which he caught and released in the upper estuary. Pictures: WWW.FISHINGNOOSA.COM.AU Lastly, freshwater has seen the dams and lakes in the areas rise. Lake Macdonald is over 105 per cent and overflowing and Borumba is holding steady at 80 per cent. In both areas try and find the deeper cleaner water as the dirty colder water is often void of fish life. All fish, especially dam fish like stability and they will search for it. Smaller presentations, soft plastics and jigs will work well and if using hard body lures try longer pauses if not getting bites. Cold water often shuts the bite down so leave the lure in the school for longer to trigger a bite. Now for all the latest information log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up to date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Bike girls are ready to shred

Ultimate frisbee is now in Noosa.

Ultimate fun with a frisbee flies in By Margaret Maccoll Throwing a frisbee on the beach has long been a favourite past time for families but who would have thought frisbee throwing could become an Olympic sport. Recent Noosa arrivals Jaemes Collingwood and his son Hunter became competitive frisbee (or Ultimate as it is known) players in South Australia and have brought the sport with them to Noosa. Hunter even represented Queensland in the sport in 2019, despite the family still living in South Australia.

Noosa Ultimate is played on a turf court on a Thursday evening at Noosa District Sports Complex. Jaemes said competition teams play sevena-side and the aim is to catch the Frisbee or disc in the “end zone”. The highly physical sport is totally noncontact but big on good sportsmanship and all ages compete together, he said. “It’s an alternative sport,” he said. “It fits into a group of sports for people who don’t play the normal range of sports. Hunter was never really good at soccer or cricket but once he learnt to throw a disc he picked up the sport

and ran with it.” Ultimate Frisbee has been recognised by the International Olympic Committee but has yet to be played at the Olympics. Queensland Ultimate, a non profit organisation aimed at developing the sport of Ultimate is being considered by Noosa Council this month for a 2021-22 Community Project Grant for Programs to assist Noosa Ultimate. The group hoped to use grant funding for lighting, facilities, more discs and to promote the game. Ultimate Noosa is looking for players. To be involved, visit Noosa Ultimate on Facebook.

Winter days are perfect for shredding the local trails and for the girls it’s no exception. Bike On is encouraging more girls into the fast growing sport of mountain biking this winter with their new all-girls MTB team. The Girls Groms team will meet weekly from mid-July for MTB Skills development sessions under the expert guidance of Bike On lead instructor Lachie Stevens. The new all Girls Groms sessions will run after school with a group of super cool riders from 10-13 years. The focus will be on providing intensive MTB skills coaching to build riding confidence and, most importantly, provide a platform to network with other Girl Groms. Noosa is the perfect riding playground offering the fantastic Wooroi trails in the Tewantin National Park where the sessions will take place. The support for women’s riding is getting stronger with funding and sponsorship to facilitate this innovative program. The sessions are being funded by a grant recently received by Bike On from Transport and Main Roads (TMR) under the Bike Riding Encouragement Program (BREP Grant). On trend MTB brands are also putting female riding in the spotlight, developing women’s specific bikes and riding gear. Sendy Gear will provide team riding jerseys for the girls as well as offering a substantial discount on future purchases to help with the costs of kitting the girls out. Bike On is also supplying its Trek bikes for use during the sessions to give everyone an even playing field. Australia has some awesome MTB role models including Bec McConnell who has represented Australia at two Olympics and came third at the 2019 and 2020 XC MTB World Championships. The commentary below from Mike Blewitt (regular AMB Mag writer) sums up her performance ‘McConnell nailed every line. She hit every corner perfectly, pedalled gracefully up the climbs and unleashed on the descents. She made no mistakes.’ Bike On runs regular Groms programs for school age students and a popular holiday bike camp program here in Noosa. The sessions are a great way for young local riders (girls and boys) to take to the local trails giving them huge smiles, new skills and the perfect place to play in the outdoors. While much work needs to be done to encourage more girl riders to the sport of mountain biking, the new Girls Groms team is an exciting step forward. The 10 team members of the Girl Groms for 2021 are Lila Perrott, Nushi Perrott, Priya Bruin, Akari Yuki, Alina Butcher, Saskia Hale, Zoe Carrick, India Lee, Alba Sayer and Ella White.

Phil improves with age When Phil Harrison won last year’s Sunday Series – and a year’s free golf at Noosa Springs – he promised he’d make good use of the prize. And he’s been as good as his word. Phil regularly clocks in at the Noosa Springs Golf Shop, and reckons it’s a bad week when he can’t fit in at least two rounds. He’s also stayed loyal to the Sunday Series – playing with a group of good mates each Sunday at 7.30am in a competition that is now sponsored by Joe Langley Real Estate. And he’s in a good position to defend his title. On Sunday he played an outstanding round to record 39 points in the stableford competition – easily good enough to make him the day’s winner. And, going on past performances, 39 points may well be good enough to take monthly honours, and again get Phil into this year’s final, along with all the other golfers who return the best score of each month. This year’s prize – one for men and one for women – is a golfing holiday at Noosa Springs, complete with two nights’ accommodation, daily breakfast and two days of unlimited golf. “I had a great round,” Phil said. “I had 23 points on the back nine and shot par for the nine holes – that’s the best I’ve ever done.” Phil, a 53-year-old former Brit from Yorkshire who migrated to Australia eight years ago, reckons he’s playing the best golf of his life. For years an 18-handicapper who struggled with his game, Phil’s now got his handicap down to 12. He’ll have to keep those swing thoughts in his head, though, because Phil will be in Dalby for the next few weeks, working for an energy company as an instrument control engineer. But he’ll be back before the end of the month – hoping his 39 points has remained the best score of the month. The Sunday Series is played each week, with weekly prizes for the best score by a male and female. Visitors are welcome to compete, and Sunshine Coast residents are eligible for a reduced green fee of $79, which includes the cost of an electric cart. Rain disrupts pennants and Masters Tour Heavy weekend rain took its toll on regional golf, with zone pennants cancelled, club competitions disrupted, and the Cooroy leg of the Sunshine Coast Masters Tour postponed until the end of August. The wet weather followed three days of COVID lockdown, when all competition golf was called off, leaving thousands of golfers starved of action. Cooroy was particularly hard hit with the waterlogged course closed until Monday. The Masters Tour event, scheduled to be played at Cooroy on Monday, has been rescheduled for Monday, August 30. Those who had already booked will be automatically included in the new draw. The tour, for male and female golfers aged over 50, is made up of a series of 18-hole stableford events, throughout the Sunshine Coast and the South Burnett. Officials called off the Sunday pennants round, even though most courses had dried out sufficiently by then to allow play for members and visitors. Katelyn in the mix at Gympie Katelyn Must, who has been working as a teaching professional at Noosa Springs for most of this year, showed she’s lost none of her skills when she shot two-under-par 68 to finish fifth in the Gympie Pro-Am on Sunday. Katelyn, 30, was an outstanding junior before playing some tournament golf, then moved to Western Australia where she became an accomplished golf coach. She finished three strokes behind joint winners, NSW’s Lucas Higgins and Queenslander Tim Hart, who has been dominating this year’s pro-am circuit. Noosa veteran Simon Tooman shot oneunder 69, and indicated he was close to top form for the resumption of the Legends Tour 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 July, 2021

Jim honoured for years of service Cooroy stalwart Jim Henderson, vice-captain for 10 years and a willing volunteer for the past two decades, has been made a life member of Cooroy Vets. Vets captain Grant Smallacombe, endorsing the push for life membership, said Irishman Jim worked tirelessly behind the scenes on behalf of the Vets. “He has shown great dedication, never complains and is always happy to give his time to benefit the club,” Grant said. “It would be impossible to calculate the hours Jim devotes to Cooroy Vets and the whole club.” Jim is a long-time Vets committee member and is acknowledged as the ‘chief provider’ on host days, when Cooroy Vets welcome players from other clubs, often choosing to man the sausage sizzle rather than play. Strong showing by Maddie in state title Noosa Springs’ Maddison Kelly shot rounds of 82, 83, 76 and 77 to finish in the top 30 at last week’s Queensland Junior Amateur Championships at Bargara. It was a strong performance from the sixhandicapper, who was competing against girls with far more experience – and with much lower handicaps. Her performance would have been even better without the six double-bogeys which littered her cards over the four days play. The highlight of her week were the two birdies she scored during her third-round three-over 76.

The champion was 14-year-old Surfers Paradise star Haruhi Nakatani (72, 69, 73, 68) who beat highly rated Caboolture golfer Justice Bosio by a single stroke.

TAKE THE TIP By Greg Lynch Having good alignment is crucial to playing good golf. Nobody wants to waste a good swing on poor alignment to the target. One of the biggest mistakes I see on the coaching tee is golfers aligning their feet to the target instead of their club face. This result is the club face aiming well right of the target for right-handed players and well left of the target for lefthanded players. A simple routine which should help with correct alignment is as follows: Stand down the line from your ball and pick your target. Identify an intermediate target which is a spot on the ground 6-12 inches in front of your ball that is on the same line as your target (this spot may be a blade of grass sticking up, the edge of an old divot, a piece of discoloured turf etc). Walk in and align your club face to the intermediate target, then aim your feet, hips and shoulders parallel to this line. One last look at the target and shoot! Stick with this alignment system and pretty soon you will be known as the sharpshooter of your playing group. Good luck and good golfing. GREG LYNCH is Heiniger Golf/Noosa Springs senior PGA teaching professional.

Pickleball courts under construction.

Pickleball numbers boom To get a new sport up and running is not the easiest of jobs. However, for those involved in consolidating and promoting the sport of Pickleball in our local community, their efforts are definitely starting to show results. Keeping us abreast of the latest news, Noosa Pickleball spokesman Woody Dass said, “Several tennis clubs across Southeast Queensland are now hosting pickleball sessions throughout the week. The sport continues to grow exponentially.” There are now 4000 players in 12 registered centres across Queensland. The sport is described as being a cross between tennis badminton and table tennis: it can be played indoors or outdoors, on a badminton-sized court: usually in doubles but can also be played as singles- and a game takes 10 to 25 minutes. At a recent tournament played at the Noosa Leisure Centre, I was surprised at the speed of the game and also the number of younger people now hitting the court. Originally considered as an older persons’ game the young are now getting the bug and this is, of course, a good thing. The club members play at the Noosa Tennis Club every Sunday morning- attracting 16-20 players on a regular basis. The tennis clubs’ hard courts, offer an excellent venue, to temporarily line out six pickleball courts, using specialised masking tape and portable nets. Both clubs are now collaborating to widen and extend their concrete hit up wall area, thus creating a dual- purpose space which will include Noosa’s first pickleball court. The new court will be available for play next month. Funds for the project, were awarded to Noosa Pickleball Club by Queensland Gambling Community Benefit Fund. Now a very progressive and fast- growing sport, they would like to speak to anyone interested in playing the game: remember, this is now an international sport with big clubs spread all around the USA. For more info, you are cordially invited to make contact by visiting the Pickleball Queensland website at pickleballqueensland.org When we look at the local pickleball competition calendar, it gives us some indication as to growth of this sport in south -east Queensland: don’t forget, it is still rated as the fastest growing sport in America. One of the first major tournaments for our locals would be the Queensland Pickleball Titles 23-25 July at the Queensland Tennis Centre Tennyson. Following this will be the Brisbane Doubles Open, 11-12 September at a place TBA; 2021, Australian Titles 1-4 October, Newcastle; 2021, Pan Pacific Masters Games 6-8 November, Currumbin. To fully understand the growth in membership within Queensland of this crazy American sport that only a short time ago no-one had ever heard of, these are but a few of the communities that have started to take this game to heart: Beenleigh, Bribie, Gold Coast (five venues), Redlands, Townsville, Tully, Mission Beach and Yeppoon. There is an even bigger list of places that have started the game but are just waiting

Junior boxer Nathan Campbell (in blue). for their official acceptance into the ranks of the official governing body. But that is not all. The PAQ has now made a film clip, now available on YouTube, to promote the game in our schools. If you want to spread the word, ‘’getum young and teach them.” Good luck to all involved. On 31 JULY, the NOOSA BOX Office, run by Israel Kane, will host an amateur boxing tournament to be held at their gym .We can look forward to a good night of boxing, with a minimum of 30 fights on the program with bouts catering for boxers from 10 years and up. With the night being under the supervision of Israel, himself a former professional super middleweight champion, you can rest assured of a well-run tournament. Situated on Project Avenue Noosaville, the gym, which was started in 2002, is somewhat unique with what can be only described as an internal upstairs running track. In discussions with owner/head coach Israel Kani, he could not be happier. “At present things for us are looking very good, positive and progressive. For example, the structure of the weight divisions is back to being near professional and of course this is much better. Also, our membership is good with a lot of young lads coming through. Our three members who are now fighting as professionals are indeed doing

Picture: THE BOXING BOOK very well and at present we are looking forward to the amateur state and national titles.” There are two sides to a coin: thus, at times it can be very interesting to look on the other side, to see just what some of our successful coaches and trainers are doing outside of their chosen sport. Just a bit inland from Tewantin, there is a small group of people who have formed the Pomona Cooroy Suicide Prevention Group. As the name implies, it is set up to assist those with mental health problems, problems that have taken them beyond the norm. One of their procedures is to hold what they have named the Saturday morning Barbwire Bar-B-Q, a gathering to help those in need. The name which they “borrowed” from a similar organisation in Kenilworth, implies the hard, rugged, sharp side of life. On their first morning of this outing, located in the new Impact Gym, Taylor Court Cooroy, some 22 people were in attendance. The reason for using the gym was to get their people away from the coffee lounge environment into a more relaxed, happy-go-lucky atmosphere. The people responsible were more than happy. One of the organisers was a foundation member, Mark Evans, better known to many of our local community sportsmen, as the owner/boxing coach of one of Australia’s most

successful amateur boxing clubs, the Cooroy Impact Boxing Academy: the home of many champions, both state and national. Add to this he also holds, for the third, two- year term in succession, the office of president Boxing Queensland. However, his concern doesn’t stop there, for he is also involved in other organisations, some of which are in our schools. These have been formed to help that most precious of all, children in need. Many thanks to Mr Evans and his workmates for their contribution to a better way of life for those in need. For the Ray White Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union last weekend was better than average. The Under 19s Colts went down on the last kick of the game to Maroochydore. The ladies, playing in the mud and the rain, defeated Maroochydore, 36-0 and the Noosa Reserve grade came home winners against Gympie, 55-12. For the A grade playing at Maroochydore for the John Curry Cup, the final result of 48-19 Dolphins, put smiles on the faces a lot of Noosa supporters. Noosa led 43-7 at half time, but Maroochy put up a fight second half, to win that half, 12 points to 3. However, dominating the first half, Noosa had done too much damage and the final score stood at 48-19. This weekend, Noosa will be home to Caloundra and all games are now vital as they lead up to the finals. Friday, 9 July, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 45

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Photographer Fenna de King captured the true beauty of last weekend’s swell.

How to grow old well Your grey (actually more like white) and grizzled columnist has a significant birthday today, and while I do not ask for your sympathy, I do ask for your indulgence while I explain the significance. And six of the best if there’s any noise up the back! The significance relates to the likelihood that if you reach the Biblical three score and 10 you are henceforth living on borrowed time, and should therefore put your house in order, literally and metaphorically. Given the way I’ve lived my life so far, this is unlikely to happen, so friends have stepped up with advice, the most poignant of which was a small parcel that arrived by snail mail from America about a week ago, preceded by daily reminders from its over-excited sender that I should check my mailbox. The sender is, and always has been, five years my senior, and one of my dearest friends. His name is David Hill, of which there are many, but in Australian media circles there are only two of note – one used to run the ABC but is more famous for making the trains run on time, the other is famous for inventing Daddles the Duck and reinventing televised cricket for Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket. Although I’ve amicably shared the Mitchell Library reading room with the former, the Daddles bloke is my lifelong mate. Over the many years we’ve shared family celebrations of birthdays, weddings, christenings, whatever, in various parts of the world. We were together in London for the Olympics in 2012 as the sea parted when he entered the International Broacdast Centre and for the first time I realised what an impact he had made on the global landscape of televised sport. We were together in Mexico in 2014 for the wedding of his son Julian, and we were together again in London in 2018 when he confronted a cancer diagnosis. We are joined at the hip, which is why Hilly must share his discovery with me. “Have you checked your mailbox?” Yes I have, you stupid old bastard, and I love you for it! It’s a small, slim volume, that my friend re46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 July, 2021

Cicero says: surf til you drop!

ceived for his own recent significant achievement of three quarters of a century, and had to pass on because it contains the wisdom of the ages. The Ancient Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero didn’t set out to write a self-help book in 44BC when in his early 60s– read late 70s for now – he had a late life crisis that involved a parting with a wife, a brief second marriage with a much younger woman – wow, I thought we invented all of that - the death of a much-loved daughter and career disintegration following a blue with Caesar, but he found the exercise of forming an attitude to the final phase of life hugely therapeutic. Of course Cicero didn’t call it How To Grow Old – that would come from a marketing hack a few millenniums later – but what we need is all right here. Hilly told me he read it in an afternoon, sitting in the breeze on an Adirondack chair at their Cape Cod place last month. I’m trying to achieve the same effect, looking across the river to the North Shore from my dreamy late-life home office.

Just as I was getting into it the swell came up and I had to reorder my priorities, which to me is a statement in itself about how to grow old, but I’m back into it now, and here are the takeaways: A good old age begins in youth. The qualities that make our later lives productive and happy should be cultivated from the beginning. Miserable young people do not become happier as they grow older. [Unless they invented an app or invested in krypto.] Old age can be wonderful. The senior years can be very enjoyable if we have developed the proper internal resources. [And don’t have arthritis in too many places.] There are seasons to life. Nature has fashioned human life so that we enjoy certain things when we are young and others when we are older. Attempting to cling to youth is useless. [Unless the youthful person in question happens to be your fourth wife.] Older people have much to teach the

young. [If only they’d take their headphones off and listen.] Old age need not deny us an active life, but we need to accept limitations. [Except when we surf.] Sex is highly overrated. The reduction of sensual appetites gives us room to enjoy other aspects of life that are much more satisfying and lasting. [Speak for yourself, Cici!] As you would expect from one of the world’s great philosophers, Cicero does make a few cogent points, and in general I like where he’s going with this. It just needs a bit of work. No doubt I’ll go back to this little book again and again as the years progress and the flesh grows weaker, but for me the code right now, and forever more is simply this: surf till you drop. The swell from heaven Short, sharp, clean, beautiful, not that crowded. A multi-sourced swell that doesn’t even have a name, it will be remembered locally as the breaking of the drought. Perhaps not enough motion of the ocean to alter the sand flow, but certainly enough to remind us all that the Southern Goldie doesn’t own the copyright on deep sand barrels. Ace photographer Fenna de King shot these golden images of sweet Sunday on the points. Check out more of Fenna’s great work at fennadeking.com

Tigers women lead field give ‘Oggy’s’ boys heaps of confidence going forward. Great to see club stalwarts Garry Wallace, Nathan Winter,Nick Hill and David Welsh dominating last weekend. The Colts - been terrific and a model of consistency all year .Coached with a real ‘team-first’ ethos and have blooded plenty into the senior ranks while always being in finals’ contention. We were right in the game against top of the table Labrador last week before fading badly in the end. A massive game against Maroochy at home next week to try and cement a finals’ berth which would be great for the club. The Women - our women’s senior team is flying under the astute tutelage of Graham Burgen. They sit top of the table and their best footy will be very hard to beat. Cass Young is the star of the show whilst the Trompf girls are all holding their own. Regan Mills continues to rack up heaps of possessions week in and week out whilst youngsters Hannah McKenzie and Shauna Kelly are dangerous around goals. All in their hands as to how the season pans out but a massive chance to go back to back. A big weekend coming up on Saturday 17 July with Essendon great Terry Daniher our special guest at our president’s lunch coinciding with our 1980/81 and 2010/11 premiership reunions. For more information please google Noosa tigers Facebook and everything will be on there! Best of luck to our women this Saturday and have a great weekend Go Tigers.

By Julian Pitts No footy played last Saturday due to a Covid lockdown and with the senior men having a bye this weekend all eyes are on our top of the table women’s team who play Hinterland at Palmwoods from 4.45pm on Saturday . Before we run our eye over the efforts of all four of our senior teams, we thought it appropriate to show the five teams of the decade as selected and celebrated at our 50 year celebrations a fortnight ago. Ruben ORourke and John Townsend were named as decade coaches of the ‘70s and ‘80s respectively with club legend ‘Bones’ Murray named the captain of both sides. The revered Alan ‘ Grumpy’ Smith was named coach of the ‘90 s team with inspirational and courageous skipper none other than Aaron ’Aj’ Jacques. Brett Maloney got the gig as coach of the early 2000s team with three-time best and fairest and Sunshine Coast great Mark Vagg anointed as that decade’s captain. And the most recent team of the decade which was announced on the night had dual premiership winning coach Wayne Fletcher at the helm with current coach and respected Noosa tiger Adam Bovalino of course the captain! I think it’s a good time to rate all our senior teams so far in 2021. The seniors- yet to win a game in a competition that has dramatically increased in standard. The effort and commitment of most of the squad has remained a constant and I don’t think they are too far away from a win. Injuries haven’t helped with close to 45 players going through the senior ranks.

Tigers’ women in action in an earlier match. Skipper Aaron Laskey, Riley Buntain, Aaron Wilson and Seb Rogers have had stellar years to date.

The Ressies- just keep having a crack whilst also not winning a game thus far. Super effort against a strong Labrador outfit which must

It’s what we have been experiencing for the best part of a year now. The Regional Australia Institute report, prepared in partnership with the Commonwealth Bank, has found that net regional migration is up 66 per cent. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic saw a spike in numbers in March 2020. Since then the trend has been a growing outflow of people from capital cities to regional areas. The Gold Coast was the most popular destination, attracting 11 per cent of people moving out of cities, with the Sunshine Coast, Greater Geelong, Wollongong and Newcastle next in line. In the March 2021 quarter, the Queensland municipalities of Noosa and Southern Downs saw the largest growth in Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

inward migration from capitals among all local government areas. The Southern Downs increased by 44 per cent, just behind the Noosa region on 49 per cent. With more people leaving cities than arriving, we are also seeing more regional people choosing not to move. That puts extra pressure on regional areas that are struggling to keep up with infrastructure demands. It also adds to the need for regional areas to have the proper educational facilities in place to cater for those looking to upgrade their skills for work. The index is built on the relocation data of the Commonwealth Bank’s 10 million customers and only has a one-month reporting gap. “This new index enables the early identification of growth trends and flags emerging hotspots, which may need fresh thinking on housing and infrastructure,“ RAI CEO Liz Ritchie said.

“The index tracks metro movers down to a local government area and will report just one month after each quarter, compared with official data, which is less detailed and has a reporting gap of four months.“ A regional movers index has found regional migration is at its highest level since 2018. PEPPERS ON THE RISE There was unprecedented interest preauction by Tom Offermann Real Estate co-agents Lauren Chen and Chris Miller, of apartment 8409 at 5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, aka Peppers Noosa Resort. They marketed the north-facing property with glimpses of Laguna Bay, as a hot investment opportunity, and five registered bidders from Brisbane, interstate and expats overseas, obviously agreed when auctioneer Gordon Macdonald fielded an action-packed response. The hammer fell at $1.285m, a new record resale result for a two-bedroom

apartment at the resort. The sellers were thrilled, equally the expat buyers on the phone from London, as well as Chris Miller who added to his tally of successful sales at the much soughtafter Peppers Noosa Resort. It now stands at 19 sales in 17 months. CASTAWAYS SALE After 27 years of loving their beachside lifestyle at 47 Wavecrest Dve, Castaways Beach, it was time for the sellers to move on. Not surprisedly, following outstanding interest from families, couples, retirees and first-home hopefuls ready to fulfil their dream, Tom Offermann agent Tiffany Wilson had 11 registered bidders on auction day. It was sold under the hammer for $1.675m. At Sunday’s auction for the Rebekah Offermann-listed 1 Parkedge Rd, Sunshine Beach, there was lively bidding with positive negotiations continuing post auction.

ON THE COVER

UNDENIABLE COOL LUXE SUNSHINE BEACH DISCOVER the epitome of seaside sophistication with whispers of Marrakesh and Manhattan, an oceanic outlook on three levels, and a Chris Clout design centered around savvy indoor-outdoor spaces for all seasons. A striking façade using a raw palette of materials framed by fox tail palms, arouses expectations. Open the bespoke western red cedar statement door and the reasons become obvious. The residence indulges definitive avant-garde flair, and this is hallway heaven. Extensive use of glass, via galleries of panes, banks of louvres, disappearing doors, lofty ceiling heights, also pops of colourful art works on textured walls, maximise natural light. It seemingly dances on endless polished concrete flooring and melds effortlessly with the alfresco nucleus of the residence. Optimising the perfect northerly aspect and taking sunny centre stage is an extraordinary courtyard, open to the sky. The polished concrete from indoors blends with granite coping around the pearlescent-shimmering heated pool, the timber decking of the gazebo as well as the massive cement pots housing mature frangipanis. Continuing the sense of drama in the variation of spaces is a lavish dining plus living area with custom-built aged oakhued cabinetry. Once again, the residence keeps on giving, this time with an almost seamless connection to an east-facing terrace. It is surrounded by high troughs of herbaceous plants, an integrated barbeque, and the piece de resistance – Coral Sea views with the added condiments of salty breezes and the sound of waves breaking onshore. Naturally, edgy design functionality continues in the kitchen with a walkin pantry, the very latest in high-end appliances, plus formed concrete counter tops including the long, wide island bench/ breakfast bar with bespoke Normann Copenhagen ceramic pendants. Also on the entry level is the major master bedroom. It opens out to gardens on the western side, has floor-to-ceiling sheer window treatments, a walk-through fashionista-style robe and an impressive ensuite bathroom with mirrored wall, long vanity unit and a composite stone freestanding bathtub. Upstairs the U-shaped balcony looks over the entire courtyard and pool.

In the east wing with beautiful sea views from the balcony which extends the width of the residence, is another major bedroom which the owners call their “winter room”. It has similar features to the ‘other’ such as the stone bathtub. Sharing the balcony is a retreat-style space currently used for yoga. In the west wing are two bedrooms. Both share a balcony; one also shares a balcony on the eastern side; and both have walk-in robes and ensuite bathrooms. What a wonderful surprise awaits downstairs. A gymnasium which could also be a guest suite/office/study because of an adjoining luxury bathroom, has a garden outlook. Along the hallway is access to the double garage as well as the laundry room which has heaps of storage also a door to the drying area and garden. Off the hallway on the western side is a mega media room, a purpose-built wine wall which could be closed in for a cellar, next to the lift is provision for a sauna, while near the staircase is a door to the single garage and storage area. As you navigate through the residence, volumes expand and compress both horizontally and vertically, creating joyful moments in everyday life.“Sand between the toes is 2-minutes away or equivalent to one house block back from the beachfront,” extols Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter Te Whata. “There’s simply nothing like living the good life in Sunshine Beach, officially recognized recently as the second most popular suburb in Australia. “Enjoy the amenable sub-tropical climate, also anonymity at the beach or nearby vibrant Sunshine Beach village, with its award-winning eateries, and where the local cafe society preserve the ‘barefoot if you like’ attitude.” Facts & Features: Land Area: 512m² House Area: 564m² Pool: 6.4m x 3m; heated; granite coping Garages: 2 (1 single + 1 dble ) on basement level with built-in storage About: Chris Clout Design; 3 levels; completed March 2020; 2.8m ceiling heights; polished concrete flooring throughout incl. courtyard; hand-finished Rockcote walls; lift to all levels; downstairs gym designed as extra bedroom; adjacent bathroom; provision for Infrared sauna; custom cabinetry ‘aged oak’ in living area; yoga/ quiet/study/office room upstairs; Air phone security system; sensor lights;

PENTHOUSE ROOFTOP WITH GREAT VIEWS WHEN the views from the exclusiveuse, over-generous spirit-stirring rooftop terrace, atop a penthouse apartment on Noosa Parade are 360-degrees, dubbing it Noosa Tropicana is appropriate. After all, it is surrounded by and ostensibly floats amongst and above lush sub-tropical greenery and beyond to the Noosa National Park headland. Let the good times roll knowing there is nothing like being spoilt for choice, whether a barbeque lunch under the shade sails, catching a few rays on the sun lounges, or sharing sundowners with friends. And that is just on the rooftop. It is next level quiet luxury reigning within the apartment. It combines a sunny state of mind with function, flair and with three terraces, the clever open-plan design is calibrated to climate and the great outdoors. It totally complements an everyday-is-a-holiday contemporary lifestyle. Extending the dining space is a terrace overlooking the resort’s pool plus a spiral staircase to the rooftop. Off a living/media space is an undercover terrace with both north and westerly aspects. A lounge area opens out on the northerly side to an undercover terrace. It overlooks parkland.

The happening hub is a large kitchen with stone bench tops and breakfast bar, timber-look cabinetry, and every necessary whizz-bang appliance for those with a penchant for entertaining.

Affectionately known as The Farm, this luxurious property surrounded by State is the perfect place to rest and recharge as you create new memories with loved ones. The original cottage has been lovingly transformed from a 90sqm abode into a 245sqm architecturally designed masterpiece where old meets new in a wonderful way. An eclectic blend of antique pieces and rustic features combine to create a treat for the senses. Every inch of this luxurious haven tells a story. The former silky oak benchtops have been made into bookshelves and fretwork has been included as a nod to the home’s history. In the garden room, polished concrete floors are on show, paired with a Glasshouse granite wall installed by a Scottish stonemason. Oversized sliding timber panels open this space to the gardens to welcome the outside in. There is room for an outdoor kitchen and dining suite or you can flow out to the paver patio and dine alfresco throughout spring and summer. Any avid foodie will adore the designer

kitchen that offers a seamless blend of lifeenhancing appliances and warm finishes. You can show off your culinary skills as your friends relax at the large island or take a seat in the living room set under a soaring timber beamed ceiling. The bedrooms are just as impeccably

finished, including the plush owner’s suite with a sky-high ceiling, plantation shutters, a walk-in robe and French doors that open out to a sunny patio. The secondary bedroom is light-filled and spacious, set in its own wing with the study, laundry and central bathroom.

When friends come to share in their piece of paradise, there is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage with an open-plan living space and a wonderful deck with a sensational outlook. Don’t miss your chance to make this hinterland gem your very own. ●
