Noosa Alive and kicking The other-worldly realm of BOOFF created from the beautiful mind of Clint Bolster is just one of the many wonderful acts to be enjoyed during the 10-day Noosa Alive festival which kicked off last night.

There are more than 25 events spread throughout the Noosa region and each event has a story, a visual attraction and, while the stage is set in Noosa’s fabulous facilities from The J Theatre to local school facilities or our famous Main Beach, the festival has something for every genre.

Initiated by playwright David Williamson and his actor wife Kristin with a group of friends in 2002 as the Noosa Long Weekend Festival and rebranded as Noosa Alive, the event is an incorporated association and a not for profit organisation governed by a voluntary management committee.

David and Kristin are in integral part of the fabric of the Noosa Alive festival. A cornerstone of many festivals has been a David Williamson play, this year no exception with ‘Up for Grabs’.

Like every other year since its inception the festival will this year host a dazzling array of performances including Queensland Ballet, Opera, Jazz, comedians, cabaret, circus performers, a film festival and restaurant events. To find out more visit noosaalive.com.au

Housing crisis

By Margaret Maccoll

12497020-DL22-21

At an emotive meeting on Monday, Noosa Councillors voted to call on the State Government to gain approval to call a halt to providing property owners in medium and high density residential zones future approvals to use their properties for short-term accommodation (STA).

With a General Meeting agenda that included four applications for STAs in medium or high density residential zones, Cr Amelia Lorentson proposed council write to the Minister for permission to make a Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) to make STA an inconsistent use in those zones.

Cr Lorentson said the reason behind the request was that STAs were depleting the housing supply for permanent residents and posing

a “significant risk of serious adverse economic and social conditions in Noosa Shire”.

Council officers are currently updating the Noosa Council Housing Needs’ Assessment prepared in 2017 by Briggs & Mortar Pty Ltd. The housing needs’ assessment is expected to provide information on the supply of housing for permanent residents, the impacts STA has on this supply and inform the assessment of future development applications for STA. While the housing needs’ assessment is still a few months from completion, housing shortages were described at the meeting as having reached a crisis situation after an unexpected influx of residents caused by a Covid-migration trend.

There has been a 23 per cent increase in residents to the coastal areas of Noosa Shire,

officers said. “We have a housing availability crisis.” Cr Tom Wegener said council needed to act and questioned whether they already had the ability to do so.

“We have the planning scheme. We have information. Do we have the tools to get this job done?” he asked.

Officers said there was sufficient information in the planning scheme to refuse applications.

“Noosa is one of the most desirable places to live. We have good amenity, good planning principles. We respect the community and have done a good job planning. We’ve had a huge influx of residents.,” Cr Wegener said “The circumstances have changed. There’s a tipping point. STA doesn’t meet our strategic outcomes. We have the tools to change it. It’s our job to step up and say this has changed.”

Cr Brian Stockwell said the housing shortage right now was the worst in Noosa’s history.

He said there had been 340 STA applications since the 2020 Noosa Plan was introduced.

“None of these applications are for key workers, low income workers or the elderly,” he said.

Noosa chief executive officer Brett de Chastel said council’s draft law for STA under its Noosa Plan 2020 was under a two-year trial period required by the State Government.

He said the housing needs’ assessment review could be used as a precursor to move it forward.

Council heard there were 10-15 STA applications in various stages of progress in addition to the four applications before them.

What better way to spend a sunny morning than strolling through Noosa’s own Botanic Gardens.

You can join an enthusiastic group of gardena aficionados at this Sunday’s Winter Guided Walk (18 July ) starting at 9am.

Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens will greet you at the main shelter shed adjacent to the lower and middle car parks and guide you on a free, one hour tour.

This is their winter walk, one of four seasonal walks, and among the highlights are the beautiful Hong Kong Rose and the Golden Bouquet Tree.

Enjoy the lushness of the Shade Garden and hear some interesting facts about microbats.

You can bring your dog along too - but only on a leash.

Wear sensible shoes and bring water, a hat and insect repellent.

Noosa real estate agents have been reporting property increases year on year in Noosa with last year’s increases described as a year like no other.

It’s no surprise Noosa property has become increasingly unaffordable (affordability is usually calculated as a ratio between household income and housing costs) for service workers, low income workers and the most vulnerable.

Who is responsible? Is it the governments for not providing sufficient affordable housing? Is it the market for attaining higher property prices? Is it the tourist operators for charging increasing holiday fees? Is it up to individual property owners to forego their income in order to provide homes at affordable prices?

Housing affordability is a complex issue affecting populations across the globe and, as more people have moved to the shire since Covid began, is increasingly on the radar of Noosa Council.

On everyone’s radar this week is Noosa Alive. The annual arts festival, that we missed last year due to Covid, is this year packed with 10 days of entertainment, dance, song, art and discussion.

There are wide ranging events from picnics in the park and jazz in the woods to Queensland Ballet.

We’ve all been starved of the arts during the Covid restrictions and artists have been doing it tough, so now is the chance to make the most of it while we can.

Bond between champions

By Margaret Maccoll Before Noosa-based tennis legend Evonne Goolagong Cawley won Wimbledon in 1971, she was inspired by a story in a Princess magazine about a girl who was taken to Wimbledon to play tennis and won.

“I used to pretend I was her,“ she said. “I used to dream about playing on that magical place.”

One of the last messages Evonne sent to Ash Barty before her Wimbledon win on Sunday was “dreams do come true”.

Both proud Aboriginal women Ash and Evonne share parallels in their tennis careers, each winning their first Grand Slam in the French Open, reaching the rank of world number one and winning Wimbledon 50 years apart.

Barty paid tribute to her tennis hero by donning a Fila dress inspired by Evonne’s on-court look that commemorated the anniversary of Evonne’s triumph in London in 1971.

“I hope I made Evonne proud,” Ash said in an emotional victory speech.

“I felt so incredibly proud of her and for the way she’s handled herself on and off the court,” Evonne said. “A great role model and a great friend. That can only help players of the future.

They can watch her on and off the court.

“I was so chuffed when she wore that dress.

I thought, ’wasn’t that lovely’. If it brought her luck - great.

“It’s just magical when you achieve that dream. I’m sure it’s magical for her too.”

Evonne said watching Ash win made her realise how excited her family was when she had won Wimbledon.

“It made me realise how happy I made my family. I understand what they went through it was so emotional.

“Ash is like a little sister, a part of my family. I had a good feeling before she went on the court she was going to win.

“I’m just so proud of her. I even enjoyed watching her being celebrated after. It put me back to that time and brought back some wonderful memories.”

Evonne said Ash made her proud from the first time she and husband Roger saw her play at the Australian Open and knew she would be a champion.

“I knew from the first moment I saw her when she was about 13. She had everything.”

According to Fila, who sponsors Ash, she said: “It’s hard to put into words how much of an impact Evonne has had on the culture of tennis in Australia and on me personally, I don’t think there is anyone more iconic in our sport.

“I am very proud to wear this commemorative collection from Fila in celebration not only of her momentous victories on the court, but also her incredible legacy off of it.”

A member of the Wiradjuri people, Evonne grew up in the small country town of Barellan in NSW where her long hours spent hitting a tennis ball against a wall with a home-made racket were noticed and she was helped to play tennis where her skill was soon realised.

“I was very shy when I started school,“ she said. “I started playing tennis and it gave me the confidence to put my hand up and ask questions at school.“ The help she was given she passes on to others through the Evonne Goolagong Foun-

in 1970, she managed to win Roland Garros and Wimbledon, back-to-back, when still only 19.”

Kelly said 50 years on the family loved watching Ash Barty win Wimbledon and enjoy the special bond between them.

Kelly praised her mother’s qualities of inner strength, her being in control that holds the family together while at the same time being gentle, kind, generous and modest.

“She treats folks the same, no matter who they are. If people are staring in public, she doesn’t look away – she goes up to them and makes a meaningful connection.

“It’s the same in more formal settings. She never prepares for her public speaking engagements – anywhere, ever. She has this gift of talking from her heart so effortlessly. It’s not contrived in any way, and people recognise that. That’s another reason people adore her.

She’s a natural athlete – and a completely natural speaker.

“When I think about how much mum is loved by Australians from all walks of life and tennis fans around the world, “proud” doesn’t even begin to cut it.

“She’s an icon to so many, but she’s also the mother who played goalie for my girls’ soccer team in Noosa – body pads and all.

“She’s the wife who signed up for a procelebrity golf event with her husband, an avid golfer – and stole the show by hitting a hole in one.

“Mum taught my brother and me that whatever you are doing, you try to have a good time.

She taught us that winning is a bonus – which I think is a pretty good lesson in life.”

dation which she and her husband Roger Cawley established about 20 years ago.

Each year the program sponsors about 1000 Indigenous children to play tennis along with maintaining their health and education.

With the program Evonne visits schools around the country, telling the kids about the dream she realised.

The dream also came true for Barty in her 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 victory over Czech Karolina Pliskova.

Her win came 10 years after she won the Wimbledon girls’ singles title at age 15.

Evonne said Ash would probably have a few sleepless nights as she celebrated her win but would soon have to prepare herself for the upcoming Olympic Games and US Open.

This week Evonne’s daughter, Kelly Cawley Loats, who was three years old when Evonne won her second Wimbledon in 1980, spoke about her inspirational mother.

“Being an Indigenous Australian in the spotlight, mum faced pressure to be political.

Ultimately, this sport was her platform – and it gave her a special power. She has always had the capacity to bring people together, just by being who she is,” Kelly said.

“She’s such a positive person; she focuses on the impact she can make.

“As a player, mum was celebrated for her grace and elegance on court. But you don’t win as much as she did without steel inside. As a child, she was sent to live with her coach in Sydney. She cried every night – but not once did she call up her family to say, ’I want to come home’.

Gun with a tale to tell Noosa police have been handed a pistol secreted within an old book following the introduction of weapons amnesty on 1 July.

From 1 July 2021, new legislation provides the public with an opportunity to register or surrender previously unregistered firearms without fear of prosecution while delivering the firearm to an approved licensed dealer or police station.

All states and territories firearms registries’ have agreed to be involved in an ongoing national firearms amnesty and the Queensland Government has passed legislation to allow this.

A man dropped into the Noosa Heads Police station this week and handed police a MAB Martian Commercial 6.35mm semi-automatic pistol hidden within an old book.

He advised the weapon belonged to his deceased brother who returned to Australia with the pistol after the Second World War. Police strongly encouraged anyone wishing to simply surrender firearms to do so by at-

tending their local police station.

Those that may wish to register a firearm that has not previously been registered against a weapons’ licence can do so by taking the firearm to a licensed dealer approved to participate in the national firearms’ amnesty by the Queensland Police Commissioner.

A list of approved licensed dealers can be found on the QPS webpage.

Owners are required to contact the approved licensed dealer or police station before attending to arrange for the surrender of the firearm.

If you wish to register a firearm to a current Queensland Firearms Licence, you may be able to register the firearm (subject to licence conditions) by making an application for a Permit to Acquire (PTA) once it is registered with an approved licensed dealer.

Local teen dies in motorbike crash A teenage motorcyclist has sadly died after a crash with a car in Noosa on Saturday night, 10 July.

Initial police inquiries suggest around 9pm a Suzuki motorbike travelling north collided with a Subaru Forrester station wagon heading in the opposite direction along Greenridge Pinbarren Road at Cooran.

Despite CPR being performed, the 17-yearold local boy died at the scene.

The 29-year-old man driver of the Forrester was not injured.

After the tragic deaths of four Queenslanders in just one day, Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey has urged Queenslanders to drive safely this weekend.

“In 2019, we had the lowest number of road fatalities since records began, but last year and this year we’ve sadly seen that number rise,” Mr Bailey said.

“Tragically we’ve now lost 142 lives on Queensland roads in 2021, but these aren’t just numbers - these are all people whose lives have been cut short, and who have left families and friends behind.”

Mr Bailey said road safety was the State Government’s top priority.

“As part of our road safety program, later this month we’re rolling out mobile and fixed cameras to catch drivers illegally using their mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts, anywhere and any time,” he said.

“From September this year, Queensland will also have tougher penalties for drink drivers, with first-time offenders who are convicted of drink driving and have their licence disqualified required to complete a new education program before they can get their licence back.

“We’re doing our bit, but we need road users to do theirs, with the ‘Fatal Five’ - speeding, drink/drug driving, failure to wear a seatbelt, fatigue, and driver distraction – con-

tinuing to be contributing factors in more than half of lives lost.

“We’re committed to bringing down the number of road fatalities to zero, and now I’m pleading with road users to take it easy this weekend because I want everyone to get home safely.”

The Forensic Crash Unit is appealing for

anyone with dashcam vision of the crash in Noosa on Saturday 10 July, or further information to contact police.

Inquiries are continuing to be made.

If you have information for police, contact Policelink by providing information using the online suspicious activity form 24hrs per day at police.qld.gov.au/reporting or call 131 444.

There was a sad end to the search for a 67-year-old man who went missing from Noosaville last week despite police and SES efforts to find him.

Police sought assistance to help locate Mark Cannon who was last seen on Weyba Road in Noosaville on Wednesday 30 June.

His distinctive green Honda 125cc motorcycle was found in the car park opposite Lake Weyba Reseve on Lake Weyba Drive, Noosaville on Friday 2 July.

Sadly the man was found dead, however, his death is not being treated as suspicious.

Police thank the SES for their assistance in the search.

Tradies parked at Little Cove.

People-power prevails

By Phil Jarratt Little Cove residents gathered at Noosa National Park at sunset last Sunday for a quiet celebration of people power, having overturned a Noosa Council planned trial of parking restrictions that would have made their lives a nightmare.

Council reconsidered the six-month trial last Friday afternoon after having received a petition signed by more than 200 residents and considered feedback on all the issues from many of them. The council plan, claimed to

be aimed at stopping overnight campervan parking, was to introduce four-hour parking restrictions 24/7 on most of the residential streets bordering the National Park, forcing family, friends, carers and tradies to park as much as a kilometre away.

Noosa Today understands council’s rethink was brokered by new infrastructure director Larry Sengstock, with the support of Cr Amelia Lorentson, who is a Little Cove resident.

According to the official statement: “In response to community feedback, Council has

shelved plans for a timed parking trial in the Little Cove area. Director of Infrastructure Services Larry Sengstock said Council received a range of feedback from the community and has decided to not go ahead with the trial.

“The community wanted us to look at ways to better manage illegal camping and parking demand in the area and we considered this as one of the options,” he said. “But based on the feedback, the potential impacts to some in the community and further discussions with staff and councillors, we’ve decided not to proceed with the trial.”

Cr Lorentson told Noosa Today: “Traffic is only an issue during peak times. As a councillor, I believe that we should be rethinking how we manage tourism. For tourism to have a future, we need to start putting the interests of our residents first. As a resident of Little Cove, I thought (the plan) just seemed unnecessary.

This is a quiet residential precinct where tourist and residents get along very well. Residents here have chosen to live in a tourist precinct, and that decision means accepting that at times, we will have traffic and parking issues.

Small price to pay for living in paradise.”

Noosa Council wants to call time on future STAs From page 1 Mayor Clare Stewart proposed the current applications be excluded from the proposed TLPI. Cr Karen Finkel said housing issues had been raised by councillors in February and she disagreed with making policy on the run.

She said applicants had followed the process, taken advice from officers and submitted their applications in good faith and they needed to be considered.

“We are debating policy at the table,” she said. “We should have the housing needs’ study. We are not adhering to the processes.

Good governance is to engender trust.”

Cr Lorentson agreed council needed to consider the current applications in line with the planning scheme.

If council refuses an STA, then it needs to do it through a TLPI not through an “on the

run policy,” she said.

At the meeting, councillors recommended approving three of the four applications on their agenda.

They voted to refuse one STA application on the corner of David Low Way and Lowry Street, Peregian Beach, despite it being in a medium-high density zone and located across the road from three tourist resorts and a block of units.

Officers put forward a list of reasons for refusal. Among them were that it was “not appropriately located in Peregian Beach,” visitor accommodation was not sought or needed in the area and it would “further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent resident amenity”.

Final decisions on council’s STA plans and the approval of the STA applications were due to be made at council’s Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

Peregian Beach STA application deemed an inappropriate location for visitor accommodation.

Aspire aims to reduce A new website is set to play a pivotal role in helping Noosa businesses to divert waste product from landfill.

The digital platform ASPIRE has been described as a marketplace for business.

Originally created by the CSIRO, the website works on circular economy principles, connecting producers of waste with those who can reuse, repair, remake and recycle the products.

Noosa Council waste education and sustainability officer Emma Menzies said Council had invested in a license to help local business to improve its recycling efforts.

“Businesses can trade, exchange or sell unwanted waste with the ASPIRE program, reducing waste disposal costs and the amount of waste sent to landfill,” she said.

Any business with fewer than 100 staff can register for free.

Business waste can be collected for free or traded via the ASPIRE platform. This can include organic waste, construction and demolition waste, electronic waste, paper and cardboard, furniture and glass. Metals, plastics, textiles, wood and timber are also accepted.

“Our world is moving away from a take it, make it, break it and throw it out mentally to a reuse, repurpose, repair, recycle,” Ms Menzies said.

One business operator taking advantage of the initiative is Keith Hamlyn who owns Loop Oils.

“I sell my oils in recyclable steel containers which, after use, go to recycling. I then purchase secondhand lockable tins from a local Cooroy Fish and Chip shop which I use to col-

Keith Hamlyn lect the used oil in,” he said.

Mr Hamlyn said the collected used oil was stored in 1000lt plastic containers which he sourced from a local brewery.

“The oil is then sold for stock feed and bio diesel manufacture and then I give the plastic containers to the Mary River Catchment Committee which they use as cane toad traps,” he said.

Ms Menzies hoped lots of local businesses would jump on board.

“We expect existing businesses will benefit through reducing costs associated with landfill, but some may also add new revenue streams by selling materials and goods through ASPIRE.” More information is available on council’s website, noosa.qld.gov.au/aspire Noosa businesses can sign up to ASPIRE by visiting aspiresme.com

Trails remain closed Trails seven and eight of the Noosa Trail Network remain temporarily closed to allow for plantation harvesting.

Noosa Council’s principal environment officer Peter Milne said the reminder comes after a number of bushwalkers wandered into the harvesting operation areas.

“Signs are in place to remind bushwalkers and other Yurol-Ringtail Forest users to avoid entering the harvesting areas.

“Entering areas where machinery is operating and plantation timbers are being felled is putting their safety and that of the forestry workers at risk,” Mr Milne said.

“It’s very important that people observe

the warning signs and avoid the areas that are closed for harvesting. For detailed information about the Noosa Trail Network and the closures, check the Parks and Facilities section of Council’s website.”

Mr Milne said plantation timber had to be removed so native vegetation could naturally regenerate under the broader, long-term, Yurol-Ringtail State Forests Conservation Project. In some areas, additional native trees are being planted to assist the restoration of natural vegetation.

Great Walk irks Greens

By Abbey Cannan Noosa Greens spokeswoman has called out the Cooloola Great Walk Ecotourism Project as “another attack on our wilderness areas”.

The Noosa and Hinterland/Wide Bay Branch of Queensland Greens spokeswoman Rhonda Prescott said it was somewhat disturbing the Queensland Government awarded the tender for this project - the first in the state for an ecotourism venture in a National Park – to a firm which specialises in eco-cabins on vehicle-accessible rural properties, not in National Parks and fragile high-value ecosystems.

“Initial publicity about the Cooloola Great Walk Ecotourism Project suggested tiny glamping-style tents complementing the Great Walk. Impacts on the environment, we were assured, would be minimal,” Ms Prescott said.

“Now that the community consultation and information phase of the project has ended, it’s clear that the reality will be quite different. Out of five campsites selected, three will have six smallish so-called eco-tents and a communal tent. “The other two, located near Lake Poona and below the lighthouse on Double Island Point, will have 10 much larger cabins and a communal structure. Each site is on average half a hectare in size. New roads and walking tracks will be required.”

Ms Prescott said all this meant environmental impacts would be considerably greater than implied in the early publicity.

“The consultation exercise has been inadequate, with many unanswered questions,” she said.

“Basic information is lacking on crucial issues - the number of vehicle movements in areas which now see very few, the amount of revenue which flows back to the State Government, the impact of the proposal on current low-impact visitors, and the possibility of a massive expansion of the project in the future.”

The tender for the project was awarded to

Sandy Bolton MP, Brian Warner Kabi Kabi, CABN chief executive Michael Lamprell and QPWS staff celebrate the announcement of the tender for the Cooloola Great Walk.

CABN, Australian experts in eco-friendly, offgrid, nature-based experiences.

CABN chief executive officer Michael Lamprell said there was a period of community consultation in the Noosa, Cooloola and Gympie regions including forums, industry roundtables, pop-up stalls and interviews with key stakeholders, interest groups and community members throwughout June 2021.

“It is our priority to ensure infrastructure has as minimal impact as possible, designing accommodation specifically on site with Traditional Owners, Queensland Government

and our architects,” he said.

“Detailed assessments have been done to identify and mitigate any potential impacts on the historic and Aboriginal cultural heritage ecology, hydrology and wildlife in this culturally and ecologically important region.”

Mr Lamprell said the project would provide small-scale low-impact nature-based eco-accommodation within the National Park, complementing ongoing public use and preservation of the natural and cultural values of these areas.

“In acknowledgement of the First Nations

Kabi Kabi People’s deep connection with Country, all aspects of the project are being progressed in close engagement and aims to maximise benefits to Kabi Kabi People, including employment, training, business opportunities and presentation and promotion of their unique cultural heritage,” he said.

65 years of married bliss

By Abbey Cannan A Noosaville couple who met as teenagers in the same class at night school are celebrating 65 years of marriage.

Peter and Sylvia Evans, who have lived in the Noosa area since 2003, said the key to their long lasting marriage was patience, love, and their family.

“When we met we were just teenagers having fun after night school, then meeting up at cinemas with friends and it just grew from there,” Sylvia said.

“Courting at 16, we were engaged a week before my 18th birthday and married at 20 on the 14th of July.”

The couple both worked in the steel industry in offices in Yorkshire, United Kingdom and migrated to Australia in June 1969.

“Peter got a job in Campbelltown, and I worked in a garment factory for a while so we could buy a car,” Sylvia said.

“Then I got job with the Army as a typist and Peter transferred to Brisbane [in] 1977.”

Together the couple grew their family with

four wonderful children, Paul, Jill, Dave and Steve, but endured unimaginable loss as parents.

“We lost Jill at 17 after a car accident in 1979, and lost Stephen at 35 in a motor bike accident in 1999.”

At 85 and 86 years old, the couple said they expected to stay married forever.

Peter and Sylvia will be celebrating their milestone on Saturday 17 July at Pier 11 with children, grandchildren and possibly great grandchildren.

Peter and Sylvia will celebrate the milestone with their family in Noosa.

Tourism Noosa funding agreement review launched

By Margaret Maccoll Noosa Council chief executive officer Brett de Chastel this week submitted a report to council to begin a review of a funding agreement with Tourism Noosa and governance model that has existed for the past 20 years.

In his report Mr de Chastel said the new agreement would focus on the key issues of funding and the terms of the agreement and raise opportunities to improve performance measures, reporting and enhance transparency.

“In short, these reviews are designed to ensure that Council and Tourism Noosa have comfort that the right governance and financial controls are in place so that public funds are well managed,” he said.

“This funding agreement represents one of the most significant financial commitments that the Council makes, given the total value over the life of the funding agreement.

“Both Tourism Noosa and Council share a desire for good governance and strong fi-

nancial management associated with the expenditure of these funds. To support this, it is proposed that council, in conjunction with Tourism Noosa, re-look at the current governance model that has been in place for 20 years to see whether it needs to be updated.”

The process would include a review of internal financial management processes to ensure appropriate controls were in place, he said.

Once prepared, a draft agreement will be reviewed by the lawyers of Tourism Noosa and council before it is presented to the Tourism Noosa Board and council.

At council’s General Meeting on Monday Councillor Amelia Lorentson, council’s observer on Tourism Noosa, said she was supportive of the report.

“In a world of Covid uncertainty I’m aware of (Tourism Noosa’s) position. It needs to provide certainty to its industry and this funding is a form of certainty,” she said.

On 1 July 2017 council entered into a three-year funding agreement with Tour-

ism Noosa which was extended another two years to 30 June 2022.

The agreement included set funding of $2.52 million linked to the Noosa Tourism Strategy 2017-22 and required Tourism Noosa maintain a marketing cash contingency of $350,000 in case of unforeseen events. The contingency reserve was accessed in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Through its current agreement, Tourism Noosa has been required to provide an annual report, annual business plan and, twice a year, present to councillors on the progress of its activities, KPIs, financial progress and general information.

Historically, Tourism Noosa was established in 2000 jointly by the tourism sector and council to take the lead on marketing and promotion of the region and ongoing development of the Noosa brand. Council assisted in the establishment of the Constitution for Tourism Noosa which was based on a representation model.

During the 2000s Council and Tourism

Noosa had a series of funding agreements setting out how the funds were to be used.

Tourism Noosa acted as the Local Tourism Organisation (LTO) and has become recognised as one of Australia’s premier LTOs. During the amalgamation years, Tourism Noosa continued to operate under the Sunshine Coast Regional Council with funding provided via a formal agreement.

At de-amalgamation in 2014, Noosa Council inherited agreements from the Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC) with Tourism Noosa, Regional Tourist Office (Visit Sunshine Coast) to support regional tourism marketing and Ironman Australia to sponsor the Noosa Triathlon The agreements with RTO and Ironman Australia were terminated in 2015 and the funding added to Tourism Noosa to allocate to regional tourism opportunities and liaise with Ironman Australia.

The new funding agreement is set to be finalised by December 2021 and start when the current agreement expires on 30 June 2022.

Gregg does it for kids

By Margaret Maccoll Sharing the positive elements of his culture through storytelling, music and song was the aim of Noosa musician and artist Gregg Dreise when he performed last Friday at Noosa Civic.

NAIDOC Week provided him the opportunity to point out how wonderful his culture is, he said.

A proud Kamilaroi and Euahlayi man, Gregg grew up in St George in south-west Queensland before moving with his family to Noosa at the age of 14.

The youngest of eight, Gregg’s memories are filled with times spent sitting around campfires, singing and storytelling.

“There was always a guitar around. I come from a long line of storytellers,” he said.

Gregg’s musical ability led him to play in a number of bands about Noosa.

Now the talented storyteller, who has appeared a couple of times on ABC’s Playschool, uses didgeridoos, guitars, laughter and highenergy performances to pass on culture, unity and wisdom through his educational talks.

He has also put his stories into words and pictures. Gregg has created both the words and illustrations for nine children’s books and worked collaboratively on a further nine.

The father of four said the challenge in illustration was to ensure the characters in his books could tell the story to children just by them looking at the pictures.

“It helps those kids who can’t read yet,” he said. “Illustrations are a language spoken around the whole world.”

Gregg is very proud of his Kamilaroi and

NAIDOC Week holds great significance each year for Aunty Judi Wickes.

He said, like all Indigenous people, his connection to country was huge and while his ancestral lands extend from south-west Queensland into north-west New South Wales, he now feels the connection whenever he comes home to Noosa from his many touring commitments.

NAIDOC Week holds great significance each year for Aunty Judi Wickes, a long-term Indigenous Services staff member at USC. The Wakka Wakka-Kalkadoon woman, who provides counselling support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at the University, was the driving force behind the first NAIDOC Week celebrations held on the Sunshine Coast in 2003.

“I think NAIDOC Week is important to all Australians – not just Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people,” Aunty Judi said.

“We need to come together on this. We’re all sisters and brothers. It’s a celebration for all citizens of this country.”

Aunty Judi, who is a social worker and holds both a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and a Master of Arts from USC, said NAIDOC Week provided an important opportunity to recognise the trans-generational trauma suffered by Aboriginal people.

This is a topic she has researched extensively after learning that her grandfather received a “certificate of exemption” under

a government policy that continued until 1967 with the guise of allowing Aboriginal people to live in a “white man’s world”.

Aunty Judi said while the exemptions offered legal freedoms denied to other Indigenous people – such as the ability to travel freely and live and work where they wanted – they had a serious downside.

By requiring certificate holders to renounce their culture and heritage, they led to significant breakdowns in family and cultural connections, the ramifications of which are still being felt today.

One of Aunty Judi’s articles about exemptions is featured in Black, White and Exempt, a new book co-edited by La Trobe University academics Dr Jennifer Jones and Dr Lucinda Aberdeen (previously from USC).

Aunty Judi will speak on this topic at a ‘Second Rethinking and Researching 20th Century Aboriginal Exemption Symposium’ to be hosted by USC and La Trobe University in late October.

Daddy Cool in 1971.

Chris gets the shot.

Pictures: SUPPLIED

Eagle Rock hits the top

By Phil Jarratt Can it really be half a century since Daddy Cool topped the charts around the country with ‘Eagle Rock’?

Evergreen Noosa musician Chris Löfven, chiefly famous these days as bass player and jokester with The SandFlys, certainly doesn’t think so. “Seems like only yesterday when a young film-maker climbed up onto a bus with a bunch of long-haired musos for the trip from Melbourne to Myponga in South Australia for one of the first rock festivals in Australia,” Chris recalled.

This is where the Daddy Cool story begins, but first we need to reel in a few more years and head back to the mid-1960s when Chris was a struggling arts student and photographer whose genius as an experimental filmmaker was yet to be appreciated. To help pay the rent, he started taking publicity photos for new recording artists, such as a plumber named Johnny Farnham.

By 1967 the Bee Gees had introduced the rock clip to the world and Chris upgraded to a movie camera and shot what was probably Australia’s first for MPD Limited’s hit song “Little Boy Sad”. Clips for bands like The Groop and The Vibrants followed, but Australian TV offered very few platforms for them to be exposed to the public until 1971, when Chris’s clip for Spectrum’s “I’ll Be Gone” achieved a new level of cut-through, and more importantly, brought him to the attention of Ross and Pat Wilson, the couple behind new band Daddy Cool.

Back to Chris: “So all the bands, Daddy Cool, Spectrum, Sons of the Vegetal Mother and various others were on board this bus.

Vegetal Mother was the prog rock band that spawned Daddy Cool, a homage to Frank Zappa which specialised in ridiculous anthems.

Daddy Cool was just meant to be a bit of fun, but it soon became clear that they were more popular than Vegetal Mother.

Chris Löfvén at Noosa Community Radio.

“So Myponga was where I shot the first footage of Daddy Cool on stage, and Pat Wilson suggested doing a clip out of what I’d shot.

But I only had enough for about a minute or so because film stock was so expensive. We started scratching our heads about what to do to get more footage, and I thought if we were going back to the ‘50s, we needed to shoot in the equivalent of a malt shop, which turned out to be a fish and chip shop in South Melbourne, but they had a juke box. The Daddy Cool bass player, Wayne Duncan, had an FJ Holden so we used that too, and I shot them playing at a few

Picture: ROB MACCOLL clubs around Melbourne.

“But still we didn’t have enough footage.

We had neighbours who were zookeepers, and they said they could line up the eagle keeper and we could shoot this eagle dance that they did when he got in there to feed them. It was just fantastic, and then we pretty much had the clip in the can.”

Despite the still-limited outlets for rock clips, Chris’s crazy clip, inspired by The Beatles’ ‘Hard Day’s Night’ madcap director Richard Lester, made it onto Happening ’71 and

the ABC’s GTK program and the rest is history.

‘Eagle Rock’ went straight to number one and stayed there for 10 weeks. The debut album that followed, ‘Daddy Who? Daddy Cool’, became Australia’s biggest-selling LP to date.

Chris Löfven went off to London for three years, and when he returned a show called Countdown had emerged, ushering in a new era of music on film, which Chris was soon to exploit with his take on the Wizard of Oz, “Oz: A Rock and Roll Road Movie”.

But that’s another story.

NEWS

With sharks back in the news following the recent attack on Sunshine Coast surfer Joe Hoffman at Crescent Head, PHIL JARRATT recalls our sharky past in this excerpt from PLACE OF SHADOWS, The History of Noosa.

Noosa’s dark sharky past For surfers in the 1960s, Noosa would fast become the most famous “secret spot” on the Australian coast, and eventually become renowned around the world. Many surfers would come to Noosa to surf and eventually make it their home (this writer included), but the first mainstream publicity that surfing in Noosa received was not the kind anyone wanted, least of all the small band of tourism boosters.

By 1960, there was a small crew of Noosa surf club members who surfed the points regularly during holiday periods and summer weekends. John Fancourt from Brisbane was one of them, and he was with other regulars, Merv Cummings, Roy Cronk and Ken Window, surfing First Point on Sunday 17 December 1961 with a young Brisbane dental student named John Graydon Andrews.

The following morning dawned cool and overcast, and while Fancourt and the other lifesavers luxuriated with a sleep-in at the club’s bunkhouse following a Sunday afternoon keg party, Andrews paddled his Malibu board out at First Point and enjoyed good quality waves alone. He was pushing his board through the shallows on his way back in for breakfast at about 6.30 am when a 12-foot bronze whaler shark struck, tearing his left leg off at the knee, then ripping into his left arm as the young surfer tried to fight it off.

Fishermen Rawdon Payne and Keith Bain heard Andrews’ screams and ran from the rocks to pull him from the surf and onto the sand, where the lifesavers, now fully awake, applied tourniquets to try to stop the bleeding as the surfer slipped in and out of consciousness. When an ambulance finally arrived from Cooroy, Andrews was rushed to Nambour Hos-

pital, and later transferred to Royal Brisbane, where his condition fluctuated for almost a week before he died on Christmas Eve.

‘A GRIPPING READ WITH A DEEPLY FELT MORAL HEART.’ – Australia’s greatest playwright and Noosa resident David Williamson A comprehensive history of Noosa straight from the heart.

Award-winning writer Phil Jarratt has lived here for more than 30 years, and in many ways it is a love letter to his adopted home. Jarratt does not flinch from the cruelties inflicted on the Kabi Kabi First Nation, nor from the unscrupulous development deals of the Joh era, but this is a history filled with admiration for the fighters of the past, and hope for the future.

The Noosa lifesavers, several of whom had already had close encounters with sharks, caught what they believed to be the killer shark

and exacted revenge on it. The fatality, along with another in south-east Queensland later in the season, eventually resulted in the introduction of shark nets across the state’s surfing beaches.

Noosa’s reputation for safe surfing had taken a major hit, but the truth was that sharks had been a fact of life there since the earliest lifesaving patrols, and the menace had been getting worse. In 1950, for example, the year began with a three-metre shark cruising Laguna Bay on a daily basis until lifesavers set a bait for it shackled to a buoy 150 metres off Main Beach. The next day they took a surfboat out and found the buoy six kilometres out to sea, the shark still hooked and towing it. It took them two hours to tow the shark back to shore where they killed it with an axe.

Despite this sharky history, the fatality at First Point in 1961 remains the only recorded shark death at Noosa more than 60 years later.

FOOTNOTE: Reader Matt Patrick of Tewantin sent in this photo of his father, Denis who is the “mascot” (far left) to this team of Noosa lifesavers, proudly showing off their shark catch in the early 1950s. Denis, now 79, spent many glorious summers camped with his family in The Woods from the 1940s to the ‘60s.

Of this day he recalls: “A drum with the hook baited with a bullock heart was set 100 metres off shore at the mouth of the Noosa River.

The lifesaver with the cap towed the shark and drum to a sand island inside the bar on his surf ski.” If not the incident referred to above, then another similar episode in Noosa’s sharky history. Denis also remembers a bloke called Bert Round (or similar) in this picture. Can readers identify anyone else? Contact newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au

IN BRIEF

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Cycling growth More people walking and cycling, plus the delivery of critical infrastructure, form part of a new blueprint to create an active community in Noosa.

The Noosa Cycling and Walking Strategy to be adopted at Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting marks a significant milestone in council’s commitment to address future congestion issues, reduce emissions and increase the uptake of active travel in the shire.

Council’s 2021/22 capital works plan includes funding of $12.8 million for a range of specific priority projects over the next two financial years.

These include the installation of pathways of major projects such as the Noosa Parade Corridor Upgrade, Garth Prowd Bridge replacement and Beckmans Road Bypass Stage 1.

“A feature of the strategy is the work of a community-based Project Reference Group, which identified 22 low-cost projects to help achieve immediate benefits,” Project Reference Group member Cr Brian Stockwell said.

He said the strategy was largely driven by community input.

“We received a great deal of feedback through a series of consultations that guided the priorities set in this bold new strategy,” he said.

The community identified three actions to encourage more bike riding and walking across the shire, including more separated bike riding paths, better connections between paths and shops plus more off-road paths and bikeways.

An avid trail bike rider, Cr Stockwell said the pandemic had clearly demonstrated the importance of creating an active, healthy environment.

“The health and wellbeing plus environmental benefits of cycling and walking are well documented, “This strategy endeavours to create an environment that makes riding a bike and walking so convenient and safe that it is the preferred mode of transport for our residents and visitors,” Cr Stockwell said.

He said currently only three to four per cent of people walked to work and one per cent rode a bike but if only 22 per cent of people rode a bike to work it would reduce emissions world wide by 40 per cent.

Noosa business owner and keen cyclist Tracey Watt from Bike On said the strategy is an important moment for Noosa.

“It’s been a pleasure to be a small part of a dedicated group to drive change and produce a blueprint which should shape the future of cycling and walking activities in the shire,” she said.

Two crashes in Coolum Beach A man in his 20s was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition with pain in his neck and ankle after his car rolled over on David Low way at 8.23pm on Saturday 10 July.

Three other occupants were uninjured and did not require transport to hospital.

In a separate crash, a patient was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition following a single-car crash on Yandina Coolum Road at 5.51am on Sunday 11 July.

Woman suffers serious injuries in crash A woman in her 30s suffered serious injuries after her car reportedly rolled down a hill in Buderim.

She was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a serious condition with a critical care paramedic on board following a car and pedestrian incident at a private address at 5.45pm on Monday 12 July.

The woman suffered pelvic, back and lower limb injuries.

“Noosa offers so many options for an active lifestyle and we now have a tangible document that clearly outlines what can and should be done to enhance our cycling and walking culture.”

The strategy defines and prioritises a list of projects for Council to deliver, with many of them potentially eligible for Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) grant funding.

Mayor Clare Stewart said every $1 invested in cycling infrastructure returned almost $5 to Queensland in health benefits and reduced traffic congestion.

“This strategy will play a major role in addressing future congestion issues and help Noosa to reach its carbon emissions targets,” she said.

Cr Stockwell said the strategy would deliver more than just hard infrastructure.

“Actions are quite diverse ranging from improving pathway connections, providing convenient bike parking, safe road crossings and even planting canopy trees along paths to entice people to walk and cycle,” he said.

Also proposed was the investigation of endof-trip facilities such as toilets and showers, electric bike charging stations and, at beachside locations, secure surfboard racks and lockers.

The proposed implementation plan is based on Council’s current 10-year forecast spending on walking and cycling projects.

The delivery of additional projects will rely on securing external government grant funding where possible.

A 53-year-old man has been arrested and charged following alleged drug offences in Maryborough last month.

On 19 June, just after midnight, officers intercepted a car allegedly being driven by the man when he avoided police by running through bushland near the Bruce Highway.

Officers were unable to find him after an immediate search of the area.

As Police Dog (PD) Rambo and his handler were tracking the man along the highway, Rambo was struck by a car. He was immediately transported to a nearby vet but sadly could not be revived.

The man was arrested on the Gold Coast yesterday and charged with trafficking dangerous drugs, possessing dangerous drugs, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, obstruct police, possessing anything used in the commission of a crime and fail to properly dispose of needle.

He appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court and was remanded in custody to reappear in Southport on 3 August.

Man charged over stabbing Police have charged a man following their investigations into an unlawful wounding incident in Beerwah on Wednesday 30 June.

Police will allege that a 38-year-old man sustained non-life threatening wounds to his neck, arms and hands following a disturbance just after 6:30pm at a residence on Karumba Place.

He was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital for treatment.

A 28-year-old Glass House Mountains man was charged with one count of unlawful wounding and is due to appear in the Caloundra Magistrates Court on 4 August.

Keeping schools Covid-safe in Term 3 School communities are urged to stay Covidsafe after students returned for Term 3 on Monday 12 July.

Education Minister Grace Grace and Health Minister Yvette D’Ath reminded Queensland teachers, students and parents to adhere to the Covid practices in place.

Ms Grace said Queensland state school communities were no strangers to listening to the health advice.

“Our schools have done a stellar job in keeping Covid-safe throughout the pandemic,” she said.

“It is imperative that until 6pm on July 16, state schools in South East Queensland*, Townsville, Magnetic Island and Palm Island follow the below health advice: adults, including volunteers and family members, are required to wear a face mask if they cannot socially distance from each other at school (eg a gathering of adults in a staff room if they can’t socially distance in the room).

“No Queensland students are required to wear a face mask at school or when travelling on school transport.

“School staff are not required to wear masks when working with children.”

The Minister said parents and care givers everywhere needed to follow the health advice to continue keeping their communities safe.

“Parents/carers across the state are dis14 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 July, 2021

Ms D’Ath thanked school communities for following the rules.

“We’re not out of the woods yet and I en-

courage Queenslanders to continue to do the right so we can all stay safe,” she said.

“Everyone needs to remember to social distance, stay home if sick, and get tested if you have any Covid-19 symptoms, no matter how mild.

“Parents and teachers should continue to practice good hygiene and wash their hands often and encourage children to do so.

“We congratulate our Queensland school communities for listening to the health advice and keeping Covid out of our schools.”

Measure up systems on as many council roofs as they can take.”

Deputy Mayor and local resident Frank Wilkie was equally enthusiastic and full of praise for residents and businesses of Peregian and Marcus Beach, and the shire generally, impressed that around 45 per cent of houses across the shire now have solar panels.

“For Marcus and Peregian Beach, half of residential properties have solar installed for a total of 4.8MW, which is saving an annual 6083 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Not only is this making a great contribution towards cleaner technologies and a cleaner atmosphere, but it also means better household savings, more disposable income, and more money in the pockets of households to spend locally, rather than sending their money out of the shire, exporting their dollars to energy providers.”

Frank summed it up: “More solar installation is actually enriching the Noosa Shire by moving us forward economically as well as taking action on climate change.”

Peregian Beach’s Brian Hoepper and Kathleen Gordon moved from Brisbane in 2009, searching for a house that had a north-facing aspect. The usual commonsense reason weighed equally with wanting the most favourable orientation for their planned solar panels and solar hot water system.

Brian told us: “Luckily, we found just the right house on a ridge in north Peregian Beach.

In the past 12 years, we’ve exported most of our solar output to the grid, and that’s a good feeling. We’re pleased and proud to be in the green-leaning Peregian Beach community, where so many houses feature solar power, and where our e-bikes are a perfect fit!”

The Mary River Festival 2021 will be held at the Community Reserve (opposite the school) in Kandanga, Mary Valley on Saturday 17 July from 9am-4pm.

Bringing the Mary River communities together to celebrate our region through music, art, fun, dance, education, community stalls, environmental displays and talks, this year’s theme is the 3Rs – Responsible River Recreation. Whether it be canoeing, swimming, fishing, walking, weeding, sitting or camping by the river, we need to be safe and respectful of others and the special environment we share... leave no trace.

This friendly, family festival has something for everyone, on the main stage, an exciting lineup of music including The Hillbilly Goats, Nizami – High Energy World Fusion Dance Band, Kelly Cork – local musician and composer, Done & Dusted – musician/band and Matt & The Mayor – musician/band.

By popular demand, the Gecko Man is back with all his animals to show and tell what’s so special about them. Terry the Great will be giving his interpretation of the 3 Rs and the Mary Valley Circus will be showing us what great talent we have here in our backyard.

Don’t miss the Yabba Yarning speakers area to listen to talks on river recreation and other topical river issues.

Stroll amongst the local community stalls and be entertained by the roving Ruba Tuba band and The Bluegrass Guys. Come along and get involved with the local festivities.

Workshops will include creative weav-

ing weeds with Kilagy, a creek walk with Eva, circus skills with the Mary Valley Circus, children’s dance with the beautiful Ruby Rainbow Dancer, musical instrument making with Anya, make a beautiful catchment mural with Belinda or help with making your own River Guardian costume or mask and join in the River Guardian Parade.

The first weaving workshop will run from 10am to noon and focus on collecting and preparing weaving materials, and examples of useful items that can be made, creating and weaving your own masterpiece. For those who enjoy a challenge, there is a prize for the best woven hat. The second workshop will run from 12.30 to 2.30pm with options to continue on with your creation or join in a group effort to finish a beautiful woven platypus Revision of Mary Basin Water Resource Plan 2006 On a more serious note, there is an opportunity to have your say about the issues that concern you about the Mary River system and how it is managed. The Mary Basin Water Resource Plan 2006 is being revised (yes, the one that justified the Traveston Crossing Dam). The preliminary public consultation notice for the proposed replacement of the Mary Basin water plan is now available. The notice explains the reasons for replacing the plan and consultation arrangements. The Minister’s report provides further information about the reasons for replacing the plan.

Submissions on the notice close on 30 July 2021. There will be people at the festival to help with submission writing.

Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) has been tracking how different postcodes are moving towards the goal of zero community emissions for Noosa by 2026, and we’ve now come to the last one, Peregian Beach and Marcus Beach, which are part of postcode 4573.

We met up with folks from Noosa Council at the Peregian Digital Hub. Special Projects Coordinator Adam Britton told us: “The Peregian Digital Hub is an incubator space for hightech industries, and it’s doing that very well.

To complement activities of the hub, we’ve got 33.6 kilowatts of solar PV and a 10 kilowatt hour battery system.”

The Hub gets 61 per cent of its electricity from their solar system and they produce more energy than they consume. Adam said he’s hopeful the council budget process will allow some electric vehicle chargers to be installed there.

“There’s also an expansion of the Digital Hub and we’ll look to put a lot more solar PV on that as well. The new community building adjacent to the Hub is progressing well and we hope to finish around September. It’s got a large roof space for solar opportunity.”

We asked Carbon Reduction Project Officer, Annie Nolan, about the solar at the Hub and to bring us up to date with the other council solar projects she’s initiated. She told us they’re up to 600kW on all council roofs now having done all the major large buildings.

“The 77kW system on the Noosa Aquatic Centre will be coming online probably in September. So now we’re going ahead with our smaller solar systems. We just put on one at the North Shore Holiday Park, and at the Tewantin aquatic splash park. We’re putting solar

Inside story on pipework Despite being below ground and out of sight, Noosa’s estimated 250-kilometre stormwater pipe network is by no means out of mind for Council’s Asset Management team.

“In fact, it’s one of the biggest public assets Council is responsible for, which is why we’re currently undertaking a major inspection of the network,” Asset Planning Technical Officer Oscar Rogers said.

“The stormwater pipe network plays a very important role, particularly in times of extreme weather so it’s important we keep it functioning at its best.”

Contractor Pipe Management Australia (PMA) is currently inspecting Noosa’s stormwater pipe network using the latest technology in remote-controlled CCTV Robotic Inspection Cameras with laser guided measurement.

The equipment is being used as an essential tool to validate the network condition, assess, and identify blockages, cracks and other damage in need of repair.

“The contractor is also equipped with highpowered water jets and a vacuum to clean the pipes and remove debris,” Mr Rogers said.

He said residents may see Pipe Management Australia contractors working around stormwater manholes and culverts along some of the shire’s main roads.

“Typically the crews move from pit to pit along the stormwater network, collecting the asset information as required. The time spent on site will vary from location to location,” Mr Rogers said.

“There may be some traffic delays as a result and we appreciate the community’s patience while work is underway.

“The data collected from the camera inspections helps us determine cleaning and maintenance/renewal priorities. It also helps us plan and design future road and pathway upgrades.”

Luke Moore, Queensland State Manager

Pipe Management Australia staff explore the insides of Noosa’s stormwater pipe network using high-tech camera equipment. for Pipe Management Australia, explained his team’s work in Noosa.

“As part of our inspection process, we use state-of-the-art camera technology with ultrahigh zoom capabilities. The camera is lowered into a manhole to capture video, zooming along the pipe to rapidly assess the stormwater drain to determine the condition,” he said.

“In specific situations, our team will also utilise a specialised robotic tractor-mounted

camera. The tractor travels the length of the line inspecting in further detail for any defects using full 360-degree pan, rotate and zoom function.

“Once the collection of field information has been quality assured and completed, it is then uploaded into Council’s system. Oscar’s team can review and validate the data and footage to prioritise any urgent or future works. This project showcases great collaboration between the PMA and Noosa Council

teams, from the field crews to the asset managers. This program is achieving the desired results and is on track for successful completion,” Mr Moore said.

“Full inspection of the network will take around 18 months, and we’re prioritising the stormwater pipes below roads that are set to be resealed or upgraded so that any repairs can be done either before, or in conjunction with, the roadworks,” Mr Rogers added.

Local radio raises half a million for Sunshine kids The 92.7MIXFM team has raised another outstanding amount of $531,033 for sick kids on the Sunshine Coast.

Give Me 5 has now raised more than $6 million in two decades.

92.7MIXFM’s breakfast personalities Mark and Caroline, Todd and Sami and Lyndon worked tirelessly for the entire month of June coordinating and publicising more than 35 individual fundraising events.

Breakfast announcer Mark Darin said, “The focus on teen mental health seemed to really resonate with people.”

“The money we have raised will hopefully make a difference to families facing that challenge.

“As a community, we cannot solve their issues, but we can help.”

Fellow announcer Caroline Hutchinson said, “Half a million dollars is extraordinary in one month.

“To every person who donated a prize, bought a ticket or came to an event, thank you so much for trusting us with your money.”

A large focus of Give Me 5 over the years has been supporting adolescents relying on hospital services, and now, with mental health issues escalating since the pandemic, the focus we’re taking that support to a whole new level.

Funds raised in 2021 will establish Resilient Parent Support Groups and Youth Advisory Groups which will eventually form part of the activities of Wishlist Centre, an accommodation and patient support centre being built by Wishlist to open next year opposite the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

The groups will help pave the way forward for better hospital and community support of young patients, their parents, and their siblings.

Max Galleria grand opening unites arts community Noosa Councillor Karen Finzel will unveil the official opening of Max Galleria with an inaugural exhibition featuring works from 18 south east Queensland artists.

The much-anticipated launch will take place in Tewantin this Saturday 17 July from 6pm to 9pm.

Entitled Catalyst, the opening is inspired by community-focused gallery curator and professional multi-platform artist Maxine Stibbe who will share her space in supporting both local Indigenous and non-Indigenous art.

“I wanted to highlight some of the enormous talent here and create a gallery that showcases affordable local art for people to start their own collections,” Ms Stibbe said.

“During Covid, small businesses, especially creative industries, have been suffering with limited opportunities.

“I want to give everybody the opportuni-

ty to be a catalyst for a new art collective as there’s enough people in our beautiful town who love art, and who would like to support it.”

Proudly sponsored by local businesses, Scotty’s Pizza and The Imperial Hotel, Catalyst will bring together a diverse range of artists with varying skill sets, including renowned photographers, graphic designers, mural artists, jewellers, painters and multimedia artists, such as Maxine Stibbe, Jane Parker, Lizzie Connor, Charmaine Lyons, Angela Davies, Herbrobert, Leroy Sams, Matt Bushell, Sue Hoskin, Richard Hopkins, Mo Riggs, Mia Hacker, Russell Solomon, Emma Sheldrake, Kennedy Webb, Djinda, Tracey Susanna and Marina Mx Noar.

Meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and appreciating the world’s diverse art collection are beloved pursuits of Ms Stibbe, who moved to the Sunshine Coast in 1992.

Ms Stibbe previously established a creative industries space in a Noosaville warehouse in 2014-16 before working at her home studio on the edge of Tewantin National Park until she discovered the space at Tewantin Plaza.

“I wandered into a beautiful little retro shop that had opened in an arcade and noticed the opposite shop was available when I had the epiphany to open the gallery,” she said.

“I already worked then in Hastings St selling high-class jewellery when I realised there was a niche market for hand-made and Indigenous jewellery.

“To be truthful, there aren’t many galleries selling affordable Indigenous jewellery or Indigenous art, or local art.”

Max Galleria and Studio offers a diverse range of original pieces from gift cards and inexpensive jewellery to highly collectable investment art.

Maxine Stibbe’ joined the Queensland Art scene in the late 1980s, and her passion for Community Arts, Visual Arts and Indigenous Arts, has led her on a global journey. Picture: AMANDA WOODS DESIGN

Plastics found in nests A world-first study by USC researchers of almost 900 Australian bird nest specimens dating back more than 180 years has found an increasing amount of potentially harmful plastics and parasites in nests built over recent decades.

The findings, recently published in scientific journal Oecologia, highlight concerns for Australia’s bird populations, with around one-third of modern nests now incorporating human-made materials – primarily plastics.

USC lecturers in Animal Ecology Dr Dominique Potvin and Dr Kathy Townsend said while there had been many studies into the impacts of plastics on marine species, this study was one of the first to use museum specimens to determine the effects on wildlife in rural and urban backyards.

“These results are concerning as plastic use in bird nests can potentially cause entanglement, gastrointestinal injuries and the release of toxic chemicals to nest inhabitants and predators, while parasites can impact on reproductive success and nestling health,” Dr Potvin said.

“These historical nests have given up century-old secrets and provided rare, long-term insights into how native Australian birds interact with human-made materials,” Dr Potvin said.

“Each nest is a snapshot of animal behaviours dating back to the 1800s, allowing us to determine how long birds have been using debris for nest building and the potential dangers this presents.”

The researchers analysed 892 nest specimens for plastics and parasites and identified trends in debris use across bird species and trends across urban, farmland and natural habitats.

The nests, from more than 60 different Australian bird families, ranged in date from 1832-2018 and were all sourced from Australian museum collections.

The first synthetic item was a piece of polyester string found in a nest in Melbourne from 1956, coinciding with the timing of a major surge in global plastic production.

Dr Townsend said the prevalence of manufactured material grew from approximately four per cent in 1832 to almost 30 per cent in 2018 and was driven by birds incorporating increasing amounts of synthetic rather than biodegradable materials into their nests.

“By 2018, around 25 per cent of all nests contained synthetics,” she said. “The most shocking one was an Australian magpie nest. It was found beside a construction site in 2018 and included items such as headphones, saw blades, coat hangers and plastic 3D glasses.”

Another key finding was that certain bird families, in particular the Australasian Cracticidae family that incorporates magpies and butcherbirds, were more likely to incorporate artificial materials in their nests.

“Understanding the range of birds that potentially interact with debris, and how they do so, can give us insights into species that may be most at risk,” she said.

The research team, which also included Dr Sarah Knutie from the University of Connecticut and research student Fabiola Opitz from Germany’s Justus-Leibig University, said there was evidence urbanisation had contributed to the increased levels of debris found in bird nests.

Dr Townsend said the findings justified concerns about the pervasive nature of human impacts on land-based wildlife.

“We found increased levels of human materials in nests from urban-adapted bird species.” Dr Townsend said. “These increased levels coincided with the timeline of urbanisation in Australia and showed a direct link between urbanised areas and the increased likelihood of finding plastics in nests.”

Chad finds new pathway When Chad Bridgman was 11 years old, he was struck down by a mystery bug which caused him to suffer a stroke and paralysed him on one side of his body.

It took three emergency room visits and one painful month to discover Chad had a rare African bug.

The after effects were just as damaging to Chad and his sense of belonging, with his new disability forcing him to change schools to find the facilities and specialised teachers he required for his paralysis and autism.

After many years of recovery, and now 19 years old, Chad has come a long way.

Chad attends STEPS Pathways College in the Sunshine Coast, a specialist and one-of-akind college for young adults with a disability and autism.

Chad described the College as his chance to “try to move forward” and find his place in the world. He joined the college about a year ago after it was recommended by an adviser at his school.

Struggling through some of his schooling, Chad says he had now found his “peace” at STEPS Pathways College.

“I never liked going to school but, being here, I do now,” Chad said. “It’s fun and enjoyable, I feel supported by the teachers.”

Chad’s success has also been noted by his teachers, with STEPS Pathways College trainer Craig Bardsley noting the immense change that Chad has had in recent years.

“Chad has transformed from someone who was uncertain about his future and felt like he had little control over any of the decisions made about him, into an assertive man who is now set on a path with direction,” Craig said.

“He now speaks with confidence and advocates for himself and is helping other students to do the same.

“He is a leader in class and is setting a great example of what it means to be a STEPS Pathways College Student.”

One of the many programs Chad has chosen to undertake is the College’s cafe work experience.

The college has recently built the fully functional Cafe on George at their Caloundra campus, where students learn from a specialised trainer and cafe manager.

If a student chooses to undertake the program, they have the opportunity to learn how to make coffees, create sandwiches, serve customers, take orders, and maintain kitchen hygiene.

Beyond workplace skills, the program also helps students practice essential social skills in a realistic but supportive environment.

Chad works one day a week in the program

Chad serving in the cafe. but has already seen immense change in himself.

“I have gotten better at a lot of things and I’m far more confident in doing them,” Chad said.

“Before I started at the cafe, there were a lot of things that I didn’t think I could do.

“Now, having done them and been good at them, I feel confident in pursuing a job in a cafe after I leave STEPS Pathways College.

“I know I can be a valuable employee.”

Chad specifically points out the register as his favourite part of the work as he loves the chance to interact with a range of people.

“It has made me more confident in making friends and talking to people,” Chad said.

While Chad is now comfortable in his ability to secure a hospitality role in post-college life, his dream is to work in IT. “I love technology, I love to pull apart computers,” Chad said.

“I would love to work in IT. I would love to find flaws in people’s computer systems and help them fix them.

“I like helping people like that.”

Among its range of courses, STEPS Pathways College offers a technology class, which Chad is particularly excited to take part in soon.

In the meantime, Chad has been working on furthering his social skills and earning his driver’s licence, which he lists as his shortterm goals.

While Chad admits that sometimes independence seems “scary”, he is “confident” he will become ready through the support of the college’s trainers.

Chad hopes when he leaves the college, people will see him as who he is, rather than any misconceptions they may have.

When asked about what he wished more people knew about him, Chad keeps it simple – “that I’m smart and capable”.

New technology for early detection of prostate cancer Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer and a leading cause of death by cancer in Australian men.

Early detection is key to successful treatment but men often dodge the doctor, avoiding diagnosis tests until it’s too late.

Now an artificial intelligence (AI) program developed at RMIT University could catch the disease earlier, allowing for incidental detection through routine computed tomography (CT) scans.

The tech, developed in collaboration with clinicians at St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne, works by analysing CT scans for telltale signs of prostate cancer, something even a well-trained human eye struggles to do.

CT imaging is not suitable for regular cancer screening because of the high radiation doses involved, but the AI solution could be used to run a cancer check whenever men have their abdomen or pelvis scanned for other issues.

RMIT’s Dr Ruwan Tennakoon said CT scans were great for detecting bone and joint problems but even radiologists struggled to spot prostate cancers on the images.

“We’ve trained our software to see what the human eye can’t, with the aim of spotting prostate cancer through incidental detection,” he said.

“It’s like training a sniffer dog – we can 22 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 July, 2021

Prostate cancer is slow growing and is usually detected incidentally meaning it can go undiagnosed for years. In Australia, it was responsible for an estimated 12 per cent of male cancer deaths in 2020.

For the study, published in Nature’s Scientific Reports, researchers from RMIT and St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne studied CT scans of asymptomatic patients, with and without prostate cancer.

The team trained the AI software to look for features of disease in a variety of scans and where exactly to look for them, avoiding the need to manually crop the images.

The AI performed better than radiologists who viewed the same images, detecting cancerous growths in just seconds.

What’s more, the AI improved with each scan, learning and adapting to read images from different machines to spot even the smallest irregularities.

RMIT’s Head of Artificial Intelligence, Professor John Thangarajah, said the study demonstrated how AI could and should be used RMIT’s Head of Artificial Intelligence, Profes- to create public good. sor John Thangarajah, said the study dem“Our health sector needs smarter soluonstrated how AI can and should be used to tions and AI can help, but we’re only scratching the surface,” he said. create public good.

Dr Mark Page, Head of CT in Diagnostic Imaging at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, said early intervention for prostate cancer was key to a better health outcome.

“Australia doesn’t have a screening program for prostate cancer but armed with this technology, we hope to catch cases early in patients who are scanned for other reasons,” he said.

“For example, emergency patients who have CT scans could be simultaneously screened for prostate cancer.

“If we can detect it earlier and refer them to specialist care faster, this could make a significant difference to their prognosis.”

The technology can be applied at scale, potentially integrating with a variety of diagnostic imaging equipment like MRI and DEXA machines – pending further research.

“It was excellent to tap into the AI expertise at RMIT and we look forward to future possibilities for analysing more radiology scans,” Dr Page said.

The multi-disciplinary team, including researchers from RMIT’s School of Engineering and School of Computing Technologies, is looking for interested commercial partners to develop software to further integrate the AI technology with hospital equipment for possible clinical trials.

MIDSOMER MURDERS ABC TV, 8.30pm

Wacky murders in a beautiful, small country town – what’s not to love about Midsomer Murders? Returning tonight with its 22nd season – and lead actor Neil Dudgeon (above) in his 10th year as DCI John Barnaby – this wellwritten, atmospheric and often humorous murder mystery series has spawned many copycats, but none compare to the original.

Back with four movie-length episodes, the veteran series kicks off with “The Wolf Hunter of Little Worthy”, a fresh and engaging thriller which will delight new and old fans alike. Barnaby and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) investigate a murder which appears linked to local myth involving a creature that is half-man and half-wolf.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? SBS, 7.30pm

There’s nothing like a bit of family history to pique interest and, more often than not, it’s a much more relaxing affair if it’s not your own lineage being dug into. Everyone who has taken part in this Australian series throughout its impressive 12 season history has had curiosity and bravery in equal spades because, as history has taught us, you never really know what you’ll find. Tonight, journalist and TV personality Chris Bath takes a tour through her family’s past. She sets out to discover if an enigmatic Spanish governess was part of her mother’s family.

She also heads to country NSW, where she is shocked to uncover German ancestry.

It’s the age-old question: Do brains or brawn get you further? Tonight, Australian Survivor returns with its eighth season, pitting the intelligent against the strong.

It’s an entertaining theme, but audiences will be hungry to read between the lines and find the colour in the supposedly black-and-white situation. Someone will prove to have the brains and brawn to conquer the competition, but it will undoubtedly involve copious amounts of sweat and tears. Filmed in Queensland, the contestants include AFL legend Gavin Wanganeen, along with glamorous big wave surfer Flick Palmateer, prison officer Dani and children’s author Wai. Hosted by Jonathan LaPaglia.

The line-up for ‘Three Legends in Concert’ at The J Noosa on Monday 18 October includes Australia’s first king of pop Normie Rowe, the queen of the mods Dinah Lee, and Australia’s king of country rock Jade Hurley.

The audience is guaranteed a sensational show of great music and wonderful memories, proudly presented by Bob McKinnon and Brian Fogarty.

Normie Rowe was Australia’s first king of pop with hits including ‘Shakin’ All Over’, ‘Ohh La La’ and ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’ and starred in a myriad of stage shows including ‘Annie’, ‘Chess’, ‘Evita’ and as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.

Dinah Lee is a New Zealand-born superstar with her international number one hits, ‘Don’t You Know Yockomo’, ‘Reet Petite’ and ‘Do the Blue Beat’ and is acknowledged as New Zealand’s greatest musical import to Australia.

Jade Hurley, dubbed by Johnny O’Keefe as “Australia’s king of country rock”, is the country’s very own “Piano Man” with the unique record that every record he has released has achieved gold, platinum or double status in Australia and New Zealand.

Ticket prices are $69.50 for adults, $64.50 for concession (pensioner, senior ID required), $63.50 group of six plus and $40 for students.

The line-up for “Three Legends in Concert’’ includes Australia’s first king of pop Normie Rowe, the queen of the mods Dinah Lee, and Australia’s king of country rock Jade Hurley.

Katie Noonan Quartet to perform in Eumundi Five-time ARIA award-winning local artist Katie Noonan will soon take to the stage with her quartet in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel.

Premiering all new music and featuring son Dexter Hurren on drums, this will be a special night of music on Friday 6 August, supported by songstress Sarah King.

Fifteen years ago Katie Noonan recorded her debut solo album ‘Skin’ in Sydney and Los Angeles while four to eight months pregnant and holding the hand of an awesome oneyear-old boy called Dexter.

Fast forward to now and Katie’s new band features her 16-year-old son Dexter on drums.

Joining the mum and son team is extraordinary bassist/producer Steele Chabau and guitar supremo Brodie Graham.

Since releasing her all-originals, crowdfunded and critically acclaimed album, ‘Transmutant’, Katie has been building up a new body of work for her next album, and alongside Steele, Brodie and Dexter, will be presenting the first live iterations of these new tunes at the Eumundi show.

You can check out Steele’s work at steelechabau.com and you can follow Dexter’s drumming at dexter_hurren on Instagram.

Over the past 20 years, Katie Noonan has proven herself one of Australia’s most hardworking, versatile and prolific artists.

Named one of the greatest Australian singers of all time by the Herald Sun, Katie has produced 20 studio albums throughout her career, with seven times platinum record sales under her belt and 27 ARIA award nominations that span diverse genres.

She first came into the nation’s view in 2002 while fronting indie rock band george – their debut album, the two-times platinum ‘Polyserena’, rolled in at number one in the ARIA charts. They ultimately won the ARIA award for Breakthrough Artist that same year.

Since then, Katie has performed by invitation for members of the Danish and British Royal families, and His Holiness the 13th Dalai Lama.

She was an inaugural recipient of the prestigious Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship in 2011, an honour awarded to candidates that display outstanding talent and exceptional courage.

In 2018, Katie took on the Commonwealth Games opening and closing ceremonies as music director, performing to more than a 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 July, 2021

Katie is a rare songwriter; equally at home leading a symphony orchestra as she is performing in a small jazz club, with the ability to flourish in any genre – whether that’s in gentle folk storytelling or in

the grandiosity of an operatic performance.

Katie has also collaborated with Australian electronic producers Flight Facilities on their acclaimed 2014 record ‘Down To Earth’, and in 2016 she joined Perth hip-hop artist

NEWS

TurtleCare at Forum Are you intrigued by the turtles who continuously return to the Sunshine Coast?

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn more from Kate Hofmeister who is the co-ordinator of TurtleCare Sunshine Coast, a large citizen science program that delivers important conservation and research on a breeding population of critically endangered loggerhead turtles, known as the ancient mariners of the Sunshine Coast.

This program runs in partnership with the State Government’s Queensland Turtle Conservation Project where Kate was previously a senior scientist.

She was also Queensland Marine Stranding Coordinator during the 2011 extreme weather mass stranding event.

At Friday Environment Forum at Noosa Parks Association on 23 July, Kate will share her expertise in TurtleCare’s conservation and research of loggerhead turtles and their nesting behaviours on the Sunshine Coast.

This turtle nesting season, Sunshine Coast TurtleCare volunteers have been gifted with three separate visits from a special tagged (K90712) loggerhead turtle known as Mystify, who has laid her eggs at Buddina beach.

Volunteers suspect that she lives close to the Sunshine Coast as she returns frequently to lay eggs – the normal or expected interval is four years, but Mystify returns every one or two years.

Mystify was first tagged on 11 December 2010, 10 breeding seasons ago and on each of her 17 visits over the last decade, volunteers have diligently recorded her carapace (shell) length, nesting frequency, location and nesting success rate.

Come along to the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive Noosaville where the forum starts at 10.30am and coffee is available at 10am. The event runs until noon.

Cost is $5. Visit noosaparks.org.au/fridayenvironment-forum/ for more information and the registration link.

CHAP Debate Continues EBPA members and its supporters are predominantly long-term residents from the Noosa region who are committed to protecting both our family-friendly local lifestyle and the environment. We strongly believe in the need for practical and considered measures to tackle climate change.

Recently, we have been working with other community groups and the Noosa Shire Council at a series of roundtable meetings to identify practical solutions to resident and ratepayer concerns with the draft Noosa Coastal Hazard Adaption Plan (CHAP).

So, we were quite disappointed when we read Dr Michael Gloster’s personal attacks on the organisation and its members, along with his attempts to goad Councillors into submission on his view on coastal hazards adaption (CHAP) by calling them spineless in an article in Noosa Today on 9 July 2021.

The EBPA’s approach is based on science, risks and lessons learned from other coastal councils in Queensland, which have developed reasonable and practical CHAPs, without harming homeowners. Most importantly, our position is based on information and data drawn from Council’s own documents.

Council’s current draft CHAP is flawed because it fails to identify adequate measures to protect our precious environment, and unjustifiably proposes adverse planning changes, which will harm local homeowners. The plan, as it currently stands, doesn’t just affect coastal homeowners, it will also impact on properties further inland and along waterways. Nobody is safe from this sort of expensive overreach, hurting homeowners while ignoring the real problems.The best way to protect our beaches and our communities is practical erosion control - not by more red tape, surprise land grabs and property restrictions that do nothing to prevent erosion. Noosa Council’s own worstcase model makes it perfectly clear there is no current coastal erosion risk to local homes and even states there is a less than a one per cent risk in 50-80 years from now. Importantly, there are very few homes across the shire that don’t face that level of risk from natural hazards right now. If Council accepts the extreme position, it places almost everybody’s homes at risk of being potentially exposed to adverse planning changes of one sort or another.

In our roundtable discussions, our position has been that there is no need to rush through planning changes that would hurt thousands of homeowners, right now – especially when Council presently has no plan to actually stop the beach and creek erosion happening now due to Council stormwater and treated sewage runoff. Any attempt to minimise and limit community concerns about the CHAP by saying it only affects the Eastern Beaches would be a serious mistake.

The Eastern Beaches Protection Association and its supporters argue for a sciencebased approach. That is why we want Council to protect our beaches and waterways from erosion, put in place scientific monitoring and protection of the dunes – which Council admits are dynamically stable – and better inform the theoretical model to gradually respond in time, based on observed data.

A significant groundswell of concern about the CHAP has emerged across the region, with seven different community and resident groups publicly stating their lack of confidence in the draft CHAP, urging Council to fix

the problems and move away from proposed adverse planning changes. Collectively, these grassroot community organisations represent thousands of local residents.

Our issue is not about proper planning for climate change, but rather the flaws in Council’s proposed response. EBPA submissions and subsequent work have identified significant weaknesses in the models and overlays that underpin the CHAP – many of which are acknowledged in the fine print, which cannot justify the harm being proposed to family homes while ignoring the need to protect our beaches and waterways. More recently, we have heard from business groups within the community with members are also concerned about the CHAP and the potential impact on the local economy.

What the draft coastal hazard overlays really show is a less than one per cent risk - even in the future. In 50 - 80 years’ time, we need to see a theoretical, cumulative impact of several things before a “design storm erosion event” could cause even a potential erosion issue in our eastern beaches. Proposing adverse planning changes that could result in significant financial harm to the community is reckless. From the start, the ‘consultation’ process has been hugely problematic. The plan was publicly released by Council over the Christmas period and didn’t give enough time for people to read it and understand its full implications. Although we are still establishing exactly who was involved, we know Council secretly told the State Government it planned to amend the planning scheme, even before the draft CHAP was released for consultation, because they wrote to the Queensland Government on 29 July last year about it – but never told Noosa residents.

At this stage, the EBPA has yet to confirm who authorised the correspondence and is still waiting for Council to respond to a series of detailed questions about who, within Council, was aware of the contents. Those behindclosed-door discussions between Council and State Government departments were premature, based on inaccuracies and unsupported by the community – and it was a full seven months before residents got to see a draft CHAP. Many of the arguments in support of adverse planning changes are based on flawed, misleading data. We are also concerned that information is being used by extreme interest groups with other agendas to scare local homeowners. People have been told that without these changes, there is a 1-in-100 chance of properties being lost to theoretical coastal hazards - and that is wrong.Our beaches and waterways are our greatest local assets. It is in all our interests for the Noosa community to thrive.

Encouragingly, the Noosa Council CEO and Councillors have recently committed to a sensible discussion to get the balance right on climate adaption and convened a roundtable for that purpose. It is not right or fair for Dr Gloster to try to browbeat the Council into submission when they have given a commitment to working cooperatively with con-

cerned members of the community.

Obey Road Rules Bicycle riders dressed in black have made the letters pages of NT at least three times in the last two weeks. All were disparaging. I commuted by bicycle from Cooroy to Gympie and to Nambour and to Coolum during my working life, but now, having retired, I just ride for pleasure, like someone taking a drive on the weekend. It keeps my heart beating and my muscles moving. Over that time, I have had very few bad incidents. 99.9 per cent of drivers are courteous, give at least a metre and a half and recognise the right of cyclists to use the road. The other tenth of a percent of drivers shouldn’t have licences. I have always worn a high viz shirt and have a flashing rear light.

This has not always been enough. About twoand-a-half years ago, a delivery van knocked me over at a roundabout on Eenie Creek Road. According to video evidence, the driver had over 100m of uninterrupted vision of me before turning left over me while I was going straight through the intersection. The driver did not give way to me, already on the roundabout, did not keep one and a half metres from a cyclist and left the scene of the accident. He got a fine for none of these infringements but did get a fine for careless driving, only a fraction of what a full charge would have been. A second video caught a vehicle actually crossing the white line outside of which I was riding.

The still photo of this car, within an easy arm reach, did not get the driver fined. Laws are only as good as the enforcement. If police are reluctant to defend cyclists, then our lives will always be in greater danger than necessary.

Cyclists who unnecessarily hold up traffic by riding in pelotons, or who disobey traffic rules, or who cannot be seen on the road are just as bad as drivers who do the same thing. But lawabiding cyclists should be encouraged and protected from the ignorance, aggression and disregard of arrogant or unengaged motorists.

Australia is way behind many other countries in recognising this.

Steve Hall, Cooroy

Too Much Governance Why does Australia, with a relatively small population, need to have three tiers of government? For many years it has been suggested that we only need a federal parliament and local council government. The existing state governments departments duplicate, in many instances, the responsibility and activity of federal government departments, often not very effectively.

The confusion of different policies and duplication of activities and confusing messages, has never been more evident than during the dreadful pandemic we are experiencing now.

How many Chief Medical Officers do we need?

Indeed why do we need all these politicians

and public servants and highly paid bureaucrats ,seven times over?

Think of all the billions we would save with only a federal and local government..... not to mention only two lots of elections.

Why does the Premier of Queensland, with 18 media advisers, ask all residents over 70 who are not fully vaccinated to stay home, and get family or friends to do their shopping.

Don’t those media advisers know that like me, many over 70s have no family in Queensland and most of my friends are over 70. Could have worked that one out herself, particularly as apparently there was no problem with over 70s going to the Suncorp Stadium.

Why does not the Deputy Premier look at YouTube to find out how to tie a tie properly?

He would be much more credible if his tie looked a little smarter. At least the Leader of Queensland State Opposition ties a good tie.

When my 17-year-old grandson had to wear a tie to school, he knew to go to YouTube to find out how to do it. His father didn’t know and his grandfather had forgotten.

Best wishes to all and keep your masks neat.

John Robinson, Doonan

Compassion Needed I can’t think of a better place to live on this earth that could compete with Australia.

Also even to then see out your final days in a loving family environment.

Times have changed due to this pandemic which we are now told daily we have to learn to live with by government and health authorities.

But they can’t find the compassion and humanity to allow you to die and make it easier to bear, by having that last and final dignity of being with your kith and kin when you finally pass away.

Speed Limits Optional Re Letters “Speed signs needed” from Stuart of Peregian, I know your frustration, it seems in your situation that a 40 zone would be more appropriate. In Sunshine Beach there are a lot of 40 speed signs in many residential streets.

Reduced speed signs won’t just solve the problem, I think speed limits in Noosa are optional for some motorists. For example Noosa Council reduced the speed from 60 to 40 on Noosa Drive from Noosa Parade roundabout to Sunshine Beach Road for the safety of bicycle riders, motor scooters and native fauna, but sadly most motorists think this stretch is still a 60 plus zone. Noosa Heads Police is under resourced for constant speed enforcement. Maybe Queensland Police could send some Traffic Branch officers for speed enforcement on the uphill section of Noosa Drive from the Noosa Parade roundabout especially during the week would be most fruitful.

On The Soapbox Ingrid Jackson

Inclusion and balance Fifteen months after her shock election as Noosa mayor, Clare Stewart is emerging as the capable community leader residents voted for when they rejected one-term mayor Tony Wellington at the 2020 polls and elected the first woman leader since Noosa was created as a separate shire in 1910.

Arriving in the mayoralty without prior local government experience was a significant challenge. Just to nominate and chance the rigours of elected office required courage and self-belief. The first year is the toughest. It takes much time and huge effort to command the mountain of detail. And, with decisionmaking often immersed in politicking and conflicting views, there must have been many occasions since that heady win of March last year when Cr Stewart wondered quite what she had got herself into.

Local government is close to the people; the community values this and never lets its elected representatives forget it. For a new mayor, the learning curve is steep and the pressure to maintain stability and gain the people’s confidence is paramount. Leadership has to be asserted, the diverse concerns of the community swiftly understood, the disparate views of incumbent and new councillors straddled, and a council culture shaped by previous mayors grasped and a way forward negotiated. It is no walk in the park.

Cr Stewart’s two immediate predecessors tended to have a ‘my way or the highway’ attitude to the job, transmitting this approach not only to Council staff but to other councillors.

People – be they councillors or residents - who pressed a contrary position were looked upon as troublemakers and treated as such. In my own case, as an independent councillor exerting this independence, I soon found out how intimidating that treatment could be.

It has become clear over the last year that Cr Stewart understood these difficulties and decided to bring her equable style and tolerant mindset to the task. Everyone has been welcomed regardless of position or politics.

Respect has been given where due, as evidenced from the beginning when the older, longer standing councillors were not seen as yesterday’s men but given appointments that recognised their experience.

There were some people who had voted for Cr Stewart who felt affronted by this, perhaps hoping for a dash of retribution. But such is not her way. She has been reluctant to clash even over affront, knowing this leads to conflict, while dispassion takes a different pathway, sublimating discord in favour of getting things done.

When the combustible issues of the Noosa River Plan and the Oyster Reef Project came on to the agenda, Cr Stewart understood their impact and funding were highly contentious.

She proposed an advisory committee to bring dissonant views to the table, rather than retreating to the safety of appointing agreeable cronies. Good decisions are more often forged through fire than head nodding. And when a consultative group was chosen with only one woman amongst its 12 members, Cr Stewart quickly remedied this before the community rumblings had travelled too far. A willingness to vary decisions to achieve better outcomes is a strength not a weakness.

Inclusion is the way forward There’s a word that sums up all this – inclusive. Facing the need to navigate a range of deep-rooted legacy problems as well as newly emergent issues, many of which are capable of drawing impassioned public response, Cr Stewart has recognised that contrasting views and styles need to be heard and understood.

Her approach has been to bring people together to find common ground and to work towards solutions that, as best she can, will satisfy the community that its requirements are being attended to.

One of the essential skills of a successful politician is to understand and manage the proper balancing of community interests in decision-making. After Noosa was de-amal-

Former Noosa Councillor Ingrid Jackson. gamated from the Sunshine Coast Council this principle was largely ignored, mayors opting for promoting interests aligned with their own views. The Wellington Council declared a ‘climate emergency’ in 2019 and followed it up with a mooted Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan (CHAP), forecasting which coastal and riverine areas might be eroded or inundated by 2100 because of sea level rises or brutal weather events. The Council announced these events were expected to affect some 2200 coastal and riverside properties but provided no indication of what support it might offer to the property owners affected.

There was an outcry from the community at the time which had not diminished when Cr Stewart became mayor. The CHAP reappeared in the Council again in January 2021, this time implying that harsh planning strictures would need to be imposed on what property owners could do with their own land. Grasping that the Council could not just abandon people to the forces of climate change and that it appeared heartless in the matter, Cr Stewart got the State Government to allow more time to work through the dilemma with the community. Instead of saying ‘not our problem’, the council accepted it had to work towards finding an acceptable policy and planning position.

Accordingly Cr Stewart instigated a roundtable of groups representing impacted residents and businesses to search for a solution that would achieve environmental objectives

without abandoning property owners. Brought together were the Eastern Beaches Bushcare Collaborative, Eastern Beaches Protection Association, Hastings Street Association, Noosaville Business Association, Peregian Family and Friends Association and the Peregian Beach Community Association.

In the hinterland township of Kin Kin there has been long-standing angst about the local quarry and the more than 200 heavy trucks that each day bustle along Pomona-Kin Kin Road. Cr Stewart has brought together the State Government, local residents, council staff and the quarry owners, and has explored legal avenues in her desire to achieve an acceptable outcome.

Standing for the community interest Cr Stewart has also shown a readiness to stand alone against other councillors if she believes they are heading towards a poor decision.

Such was the case when an application was made to establish a modern medical centre at Cooroy last year. An initial Council vote to accept the proposal was later overturned after Crs Stockwell and Wilkie took to social media arguing that the decision would tarnish a character precinct. This created such a storm of disapproval that the three councillors who had previously voted for the proposal changed sides to reject it.

Cr Stewart stood her ground, arguing the health and medical needs of the community

should take precedence. Her vote against six was an isolated position, but she had shown an understanding of where the community interest lay and signalled she would not betray it.

During her successful election campaign of early 2020, Cr Stewart demonstrated how she would approach the task of occupying the most important office in the shire. She weathered many personal attacks without returning fire, instead holding small gatherings in 30 cafes throughout the shire and making it her business to travel by bus to some of the more remote townships. Such openness was not a mere election stunt. Fifteen months later we see she meant it. Clare Stewart is determined to be everyone’s mayor.

When she won office, Cr Stewart not only took over a $150 million budget and 350 staff but inherited a Council culture that many people, especially in business, perceived as hostile.

There was also a legacy to be confronted of a fractured and often fractious community. With her commitment to inclusion and balance, Cr Stewart is beginning to make her mark on this shire. She won’t win all the battles, but it seems a fair prediction she will continue to strive to move Noosa Shire to what it can and needs to become – a more inclusive, more balanced and more accommodating place in which to live.

Over the last 15 months, Clare Stewart’s mission has become evident – to empower the whole community, not just those who govern it.

Beloved Australian singer songwriter, Bob Evans will play Noosaville at The V Room (Villa Noosa Hotel) on Saturday 17 July.

Bobs Evans set to entertain Noosa Beloved Australian singer songwriter, Bob Evans has released his much-anticipated sixth studio album Tomorrowland, a glorious record written about the passage of time, and the mystery of the past and the future.

The album is being followed by a national Tomorrowland tour set with 14 shows around Australia, making its way to play Noosaville at The V Room (Villa Noosa Hotel) on Saturday 17 July.

The tour will be supported by Siobhan Cotchin (excluding Frost and Fire and Castlemaine).

For those that are out of the loop, Bob Evans is the ARIA-winning alter ego of Jebediah frontman Kevin Mitchell who has graced the Australian music scene for more than two decades and has written some of the country’s most adored songs.

With an extensive back catalogue of wellcrafted songs full of meaningful, considered lyrics buoyed by that familiar voice, it’s safe to say the latest Bob Evans offering is in sync.

Mitchell poignantly explains, “I found that many of the songs and the lyrics I was writing were tied up in and wrapped around time.”

“The album starts with a song called ‘Born Yesterday’, which is about feeling nostalgic for my early adulthood and ends with a song called ‘End of the Day’, which is about the troubling uncertainty I feel about the future and how I reconcile that with being a parent 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 July, 2021

of young children.

“So I found that most of the songs are dealing with the mystery of the past and the future in some kind of way. In many ways the past is as much a mystery as the unknown future.

Memories are funny things and our perspective on the past is constantly changing with time and as we age.”

Over five albums, Bob Evans has cemented his place in Australia as being the acoustic melody king, the folk/rock alternative whose songs became favourites, then beloved and, finally, classics.

Tomorrowland was born during the Covid-19 global pandemic, a turbulent time full of great uncertainty for every human the world over, but the result is euphoric, sparkling – a luminescent rock record from an unstoppable songsmith.

“Every time an album is released it feels special, a small but significant accomplishment,” Mitchell said.

“This one feels a little extra than normal though, having been born out of such tumultuous times.

“I’ve never waited so long between the studio and release day before which was hard because I knew I was sitting on something good and I’m just so glad people are finally hearing it.

“I went into recording this album feeling refreshed, as if I was beginning a whole new chapter for Bob Evans, one with more electric

guitars, a live band actually playing live in a room together and not fussing over perfection but striving for feel.

“There are influences and production aesthetics that I have never brought in to my world before and the end result is one that I’m immensely proud of as being a record unlike any I’ve made before.”

And Kevin Mitchell is thrilled at the idea of getting back on stages to play for fans around the country, performing a bunch of tracks from the new record and of course all the longstanding fan faves too.

“I didn’t want this record to be released without any shows to back it up, so we waited and waited and now finally the coast looks at least clear enough to be able to announce a ‘Tomorrowland’ tour that is Covid-safe and gets to visit a bunch of cities in different states of Australia,” Mitchell said.

“I feel like this tour is going to be celebrating not just ‘Tomorrowland’ but also the joy of being able to go to shows again and experience that strange undying love we all have for a sticky carpet, perhaps a drink or two and someone on stage singing songs and telling tall stories.”

Tomorrowland is out now via Dew Process.

From the private collection of pioneering British pop artist Peter Phillips comes Noosa Regional Gallery’s latest exhibition, set to open Friday 16 July.

Gallery Director Michael Brennan said they were very fortunate to be sharing works from Peter Phillips’s private collection.

“Phillips created these artworks at varying points throughout his exceptional career, spanning more than 50 years,” he said.

“They have travelled with him around the globe and continue to adorn the walls of both his studio and private residences.”

As a ‘pop art’ movement originator, Peter Phillips trained at the Royal College of Art in London with his contemporaries, David Hockney, Allen Jones and Ronald Kitaj, among others.

Internationally-acclaimed, his work has been exhibited in countless solo shows, projects and retrospectives.

Having many times exhibited alongside his American counterparts Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and James Rosenquist, the artist’s friends and contemporaries read like a Who’s Who of 20th Century art.

Phillips said, “I was painting stuff that was familiar to other people, however, it wasn’t imagery that they expected to come from an artist. They thought that an artist painted landscapes and portraits… and I was painting cars and pin-up girls and then it ended up being called ‘pop art’. It was a new way of thinking about the world that we live in, exposing particular things that people didn’t even consider as art.”

Like Phillips and his contemporaries - whose revolt against the “dour traditionalism” of art school paved the way for a new art movement - local artist Petalia Humphreys employs a sense of playfulness to engage with her audience.

“With hard-edge, geometric forms, my work encourages an interactive approach, inviting the audience to engage in playful ways, considering ways of looking, perceiving and viewing the work within the gallery space,” Humphreys said.

A form of abstract art, the artist’s reductive cube paintings challenge tradition by occupying corners and by being hung in positions outside the traditional audience eye-line.

Gallery Director Michael Brennan said Inhabit explored a range of approaches to geometric painting.

“Humphreys focuses on the relationship between objects and the spaces they occupy – how geometric compositions relate to one another within an art work, and the relationship the artwork itself has with the exhibition space,” he said.

“The artist’s geometric works are bold, vibrant and inspired by the Noosa Regional Gallery space.”

The works of British pop artist Peter Phillips will be featured in Noosa Regional Gallery’s latest exhibition.

Keep an eye out at Noosa Alive’s Sunset Vibes festival for the March Smak Fairy.

Festival thanks carers The Noosa Alive festival started this week with a packed program of arts and cultural experiences.

President Andrew Stafford said it had certainly been an interesting lead up to the festival.

“Our dedicated volunteer committee have gone above and beyond to ensure everyone will have a safe and memorable experience at this year’s 10-day festival held in and around Noosa,” he said.

“While we continue to remain positive and in contact with Queensland Health to ensure the safety of our guests, it has been our ability

to pivot quickly to accommodate the logistical changes while delivering the best experience.

“During last week’s committee meeting, a discussion took place with our volunteers reflecting on the changes required to deliver the festival and we landed on a discussion about what our front-line workers are facing.”

Mr Stafford said they were compelled to offer local hospital workers a chance to let off some steam.

“Empathy is a fuel and more than ever we need to stay connected as a community,” he said.

Noosa Hospital staff are continuing to play a critical role in keeping our community safe and well.

This year, in recognition of the amazing work that our local front line health workers have been doing, Noosa Alive has extended an invitation to Noosa Hospital to reward some of their staff.

Ramsay Health Care Sunshine Coast chief executive officer Justin Greenwell said, “In June over 1600 people from the local Noosa community have received treatment at our Emergency Department which is almost a 20

per cent increase from last year.”

“It’s been a busy year so far and the opportunity for staff to take some time out and enjoy the Noosa Alive Festival is just what the doctor ordered.”

Noosa Alive has donated tickets to the Akmal performance at The J and some tickets for workers and their families to attend the Picnic In The Park on Sunday 18 July in The Woods, Noosa.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Sweet and sour pork.

A spicy welcome.

Steamed wontons.

Spice it up on the cheap Trevor Pepys reviews A Taste of Spice Okay, the first thing to say is it’s not flash.

It looks like the takeaway it is, and a bit of a down-at-heel one at that. But all of this in a good way.

Trev has done enough road miles in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and India in the past decade or so to know that the law of inverse proportion is seldom wrong, which is to say the grungier the joint, the better the food. Trev was pondering this as he wandered through the kitchen to get to the dunny the other night at A Taste of Spice, the Indo-Malaysian restaurant that’s been wowing locals, first in Noosaville, now in Noosa Junction, for almost two decades.

As he and the missus joined a couple of old friends at a rickety table behind a plastic

drape, Trev’s mind wandered from a two-table treehouse in the high tea plantation country in Sri Lanka to a shack on the beach on Tioman Island, Malaysia, where the South China Sea splashed our legs as the tide came in. In places such as these, just when you think this place could not possibly be a restaurant, some one emerges from a space that could not possibly be a kitchen with a meal to die for.

A Taste of Spice is a bit like that. Owner/ chef Anil Dutt and his crew know their stuff, and they know the customers don’t come here for the frills.

Our friends being regulars at Spice and well-known foodies, we placed ourselves in their capable hands with the order while we enjoyed the rare treat of sipping on our cork-

age-free BYO Torresella Pinot Grigio and Lulu French rose (both about $10 at Dan’s). This eminently sensible wine policy is a major factor in keeping the local trade, and is accompanied by a smile, an ice bucket and good wine glasses, whereas the few places around town that still offer BYO generally accompany their ridiculously high corkage fee with lashings of resentment, hoping to dissuade you from ever bringing a bottle from home again.

We started with a round of steamed wontons ($9.50 for six pieces), then moved into chilli king prawns ($21.50), sweet and sour pork ($17.50), Massaman beef and potato curry ($18.50) and a special fried rice ($13.50).

The wontons were about as good as they get, served with a delicious light soy, and this set

the tone for a free-flowing meal that was difficult to fault. If Trev is going to be picky – and you know that’s his nature – then the Massaman curry lacked a bit of kick. But this was made up for by the chilli prawns, and the special fried rice actually was quite special, showing yet again that this humble kitchen can give a lift to even the most humble of Asian dishes.

The verdict: An old mate of Trev’s, celebrating his earthiness in a beaten-up trucker cap, brushed past the table on his way out and whispered: “Best and cheapest feed in town, mate. About time you caught up with it.” He was right. Trev will be back, again and again.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Dylan Castle won last week’s $100.00 Tackle World Noosa/ChaseBaits Fish of the Week prize with this quality catch and release mangrove jack.

Gold band snapper and snapper from a recent Trekka 2 charter to North Reef.

Lead up to the moon Many anglers will have favoured moon phases and tide times to go fishing. Without doubt the lead up to the new moon is a great time to go fishing as a dark moon is thought to produce a morning bite window. It is also thought that predatory fish can hunt under the cover of darkness vs a full moon where they stand out.

As the week started with a chunky swell and wind chop, it allowed experienced skippers and charter boats only across the bar.

This saw Sunshine Reef become the popular choice for those wanting a quick trip home.

On the chew were snapper around the mid 60cm mark, sweetlip around mid 40cm, a few 5-7kg cobia and other reefies. Twin hook paternoster rigs and pilchard floater rigs continue to work best while sitting on anchor.

For those drifting, then the pilchard floater becomes more natural in presentation, especially when no weight is used. Soft plastics excel in these conditions and with most mornings overcast, bigger fish tend to be on the chew. Smaller 4-5 inch jerk shads allow for great casting and a quick descent so you cover more ground while drifting. Look at the new Molix RT fork flex for a great baitfish profile plastic.

Beach fishing has been a bit hit and miss.

Local anglers Brian and Bill landed a few luderick at the river mouth car park rocks.

Many anglers will find a gutter and stay there, however, moving around can yield more fish and more bites so pack light. The new MJF AlNOOSA WEATHER FORECAST

vey rods are proving popular with whiting and bream anglers as they are built on Schneider blanks which many anglers instantly recognise. The consistent swell and good rainfall means new gutters should be forming so get out there and stay on the move if things are quiet.

The Noosa River has been showing signs of a good week ahead. Many anglers are finding smaller school-sized jewfish with the occasional sizable fish. These fish will hit a huge variety of soft plastics and soft vibes so have a crack with well scented options including Atomic prong, Keitech easy shiner and Gulp minnows. Find the holes and structure and run sounders in side scan if you have a boat.

The turn in tide can be a trigger for these fish to feed, so try this time if struggling.

Bream will continue to be found in the lower estuary along with GT, tailor, queenfish and flathead. Although popular lure targets, queenfish are also a great live bait option, taking down big baits. Be sure to run a quality leader like Shimano Ocea fluorocarbon in 20lb minimum when using live bait. Owning a cast net is crucial for this method and if you need help we can show you how to throw one.

We stick many sizes from 4 -12 foot and many styles so come in and check them out.

If after smaller species like bream and whit-

Pictures: FISHINGNOOSA.COM.AU ing with a few flathead (and luderick now that the season is under way) then the river mouth rocks and the Dog Beach are the easier land based options. There are many drop offs and deep water holes around there so have a flick and move on if quiet as you will find something around these spots.

Freshwater is getting to the coldest time of the year. Many anglers are heading south in search of huge impoundment cod which are popular targets on swimbaits. We stock a multitude of baits from Jackall and Megabass and the Shimano tranx 300 is a popular reel for this style of fishing. Come in, check out our range of gear which will also work well for the huge 80-100cm flathead due to turn up later this year. The cold snap that is coming is going to drive bass deep so break out your jigs and blades and deep diving lures like the Rapala Jack deep. This lure has a super small body for its 3 metre dive depth which will appeal to fish this winter.

Sandi’s long love of golf Sandra Probert was a young schoolteacher in the remote southeast of South Australia when she fell in love with golf – the affair forged on the picturesque fairways of little Kingston SE golf course, where visitors still leave their green fees in an honesty box fixed to the clubhouse.

She’d turned her back on hockey when she left Adelaide for the seclusion of coastal Kingston SE, bought a set of golf clubs, read all the golf magazines she could find, and set about learning a completely new game.

“I’d go out on Saturday afternoons, after the men had finished playing, and have a hit,” she said. “It’s where I started.”

A half-century later, Sandi is still playing the game – no longer in South Australia, where she once played pennants for fashionable Flagstaff Hill, but at Noosa Springs, where she has been a member for five years.

And, now 77, she’s still a formidable competitor.

Indeed, last week she outplayed a field of more than 100 women in the Ladies Series event at Noosa Springs on a course made soft by days of heavy rain.

Sandi, playing off a handicap of 16, scored 37 stableford points to beat three runners-up by a single point in the second leg of the popular annual three-round series that will conclude with the final leg in December.

“I was lucky,” Sandi said, crediting her win to the encouragement of her playing partners and a tip she’d picked up watching professional tournaments on television.

“I’d gone out with this idea that had to do with my hand position and my take away,” she said. “It seemed to work and I also sank a few putts.”

After Sandi’s stint teaching in the South Australian ‘bush’, she returned to Adelaide where work and family commitments kept her away from golf for a time. Later, though, she joined Flagstaff Hill, where she remains a member, and Blackwood, in the Adelaide hills.

While at Blackwood she became ladies’ captain, joined the committee, and managed to trim her handicap to a very respectable nine.

Sandi and husband Rod moved to the Sunshine Coast a decade ago in search of warmer weather, and settled at Peregian Springs, where they both became members.

When that club’s future looked uncertain five years ago, the Proberts transferred to Noosa Springs – and they’ve never regretted the decision.

“We were made very welcome,” Sandra said. “The staff are lovely, the course is magnificent and everything here is efficient and well managed. We’re very happy.”

Draw keeps Noosa’s title hopes alive Noosa remained in contention to defend its A grade pennant title after a remarkable tie with the club’s second team on Sunday.

Five of the seven matches between Noosa and Noosa 1 ended in draws, with George Giblett securing Noosa’s only win, and Shane Dunning beating Russell Milner for Noosa 1’s sole victory.

The 3.5-3.5 result left Noosa in second place – two points behind unbeaten Maroochy River – with only one round to be decided. Significantly, that final match is against Maroochy River.

In B grade, Noosa teams fared well, with young guns Dino Degotardi and Blake Heinger leading Noosa Springs to a 5-2 win over Caloundra, and Noosa scoring a solid 5-2 win over Headland. Cooroy narrowly beat Tin Can Bay 4-3 to keep its finals hopes alive.

Noosa Springs remained in contention in Masters competition, edging Caloundra 4-3, but Noosa lost to Headland 5.5-1.5, and Cooroy went down narrowly to Tin Can Bay, 4-3.

All three teams will need to win next week to have any chance of finals action.

Brave win for young Amy Little Amy Coates, who only a fortnight ago won the Encouragement Award for her gal-

First win for Amy Coates. lant performance in this year’s junior pennant competition, was stunned on Sunday when she won the net trophy for girls in the annual Noosa Springs Junior Classic.

Amy, the least experienced girl in the field, gained her handicap only a few days before the pennant season began.

The Noosa junior, playing off a beginner’s handicap of 45, shot net 73 to win by two strokes from Ruby Kavanagh, a three-handicapper from Pelican Waters.

Ruby shared the gross prize for girls with her former Maroochy River clubmate Ionna Muir, both returning scores of 78, before Ionna was declared the winner on countback.

In the boys’ section, Shae Coghlan of Maroochy River shared gross honours with Virginia’s Jedd Brady, both boys scoring 79, before Shae was promoted to victory on countback.

Open set for September The Noosa Springs Open – an annual event to showcase the course to visiting golfers – will be played on Sunday 12 September.

The 18-hole stableford event is open to all golfers with an official handicap.

It will be an 8am shotgun start, and excellent prizes are on offer.

The cost is $79 ($29 for members). Download an entry form from the Noosa Springs website, or phone the golf shop on 5440 3325.

Wet conditions hamper Noosa golfers Jason Norris did best of a strong contingent of Noosa amateurs in last week’s Maroochy River Pro-Am, the 11-handicapper from Noosa Golf Club braving atrocious conditions in the morning wave of players to tally 34 stableford points and earn seventh place in the morning competition.

The constant rain, wind and poor visibility tested even gifted players like Noosa’s George Giblett (33 points) and Tamatoa Stansfield (27 points), while Noosa Springs stars Ryley Martin (31 points), Dino Degotardi (31) and Blake Heiniger (29) also found it tough.

Former star amateur Lawry Flynn, playing his first professional event, and Redland Bay pro Gavin Fairfax shared the pro-am spoils, each shooting five-under 67 in the afternoon, when conditions were much more pleasant.

How to support youngsters

TAKE THE TIP

By Hamish Robertson What are the traits to keep an eye out for as a parent or supporter of a young golfer? Introducing our kids to different sports is such a good way to get them outdoors.

Once we do this we may get questions like, “can you take me to golf please, Dad? Or, “can I stay longer and hit some more balls, Mum? Self-motivation means they are interested and it will help them get better on their own.

When you are out playing golf and you see your child hit a good shot and you notice how excited they are, this is also a great trait. Join in the celebration to help emphasise the improvement cycle.

Equally if they have a bad shot, sit back and watch their response. What you are looking for is for them to grit their teeth and want to try again to get better.

Wanting to go to golf and compete has to come from the kid and can’t be trained, but the other traits are attitude, and with good parenting can be learned through proper coaching.

Good golfing.

HAMISH ROBERTSON is the Heiniger Golf/Noosa Springs senior PGA teaching professional.

Landscape architect Arno King.

Speaker Jerry Coleby-Williams entertained and informed the crowd.

Soon to be Pomona resident Adrian McVerry who with husband Paul sold out of their Tuchekoi garden tubs.

Garden show inspires “We’re going to have to look at trees that come from warmer climates,” landscape architect Arno King told guests at the Queensland Garden Expo last Saturday.

One of a range of guest speakers at the event, Arno said the changing climate was forcing birds and butterflies southward and, as they were bringing the plants with them, it was time gardeners and councils began accepting the natural response to rising temperatures and stopped treating the migrating native plants as weeds.

Arno said the general warming was having an impact on gardening and cities with less time to grow winter vegetables and city suburbs turning into “urban heat islands” where a lack of trees and baking sun heating up road and roof surfaces, made them uncomfortable places to live.

“Arborists are looking at planting trees for the future,” he said. “Trees are air-conditioning units. They pump up water from the soil and cool us down. If you want to cool down, you need foliage.”

In a talk that nicely dove-tailed with that of Arno King, ABC’s gardening guru Jerry Coleby-Williams spoke on the benefits of gardening with resilient plants and the way different methods of display can transform them from a common, disregarded plant into something spectacular. The canna lily is a common, hardy, easy-to-grow, disease resistant plant. In the Sydney Botanic Gardens and the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia it has been given a prominent space to become a stunning display plant, he said .He talked about the way Bougainvillea has been displayed along sweeping wires throughout South Bank in Brisbane and how cloud pruning had been used in Singapore to transform plants such as the common azalea into art works.

Event organisers of this year’s Expo could not have been happier with the attendance, as thousands converged on the Nambour Showgrounds to enjoy the 36th annual event. Event manager Marion Beazley said while it was too early to tally the ticket sales, crowd numbers were encouraging and those exhibiting at the Expo and presenting as part of Australia’s largest gardening speaker program were very happy with the response.

“The Queensland Garden Expo is somewhat of a gardening reunion for our speakers and exhibitors as they all share a passion for gardening and love getting face-to-face with the public and the end-users of their products,” Ms Beazley said.

“The queues at the gates on Friday morning indicated the appetite for this event and with more people turning to gardening than ever before over the past 18 months, the demand for plants, information and all things gardening is at a peak.

“Our major partner, Scotts Australia shared that their recently conducted research showed 18 per cent of those interviewed were new to gardening during Covid, with the remaining 82 per cent saying they had increased their gardening efforts.

“This research helped inform our decision to introduce our new ‘Back to Basics’ speaker sessions which were really well received. We hope that the new budding gardeners who attended over the weekend walked away with some gems of wisdom!”

did not dampen the enthusiasm of our gardeners. Friday is the most popular day for our avid gardeners who like to come early – with many queuing at the gates well before opening — looking to secure that new variety of plant or rare product before it sells out.

“From Friday afternoon the rain stayed away and we enjoyed blue sky and sunshine on Saturday and Sunday. Tens of thousands of plants were sold over the course of the week-

end and our 40-plus speakers who participated in our speaker program were thrilled at the turnout across the 10 live stages.

The Expo welcomed back crowd favourites like ABC Gardening Australia’s Jerry ColebyWilliams, Claire Bickle and Phil Dudman, as well as new speakers including Dr Rohan David from Griffith University.

Organisers had difficult decisions to make about the likelihood of hosting the event given

the region was in a three-day Covid lockdown when set-up commenced the week prior.

“The economic impact of this event is estimated to be between $8m and $11m so we were thrilled that the event was able to go ahead, particularly after last year’s cancellation for the first time in its 37-year history,” Ms Beazley said.

They’re off in the 2019 Bendigo Bank King of the Mountain Challenge.

Runners return to the mountain race The town of Pomona comes alive for the King of the Mountain festival every July, however, this year is going to look different.

Both the Zinc 96.1 Prince and Princess Race and the Bendigo Bank International Mountain Challenge will be run on the same day.

There will be no market stalls, no additional entertainment and no school relays, but the mountain will captivate attendees like never before.

The essence of running up and down a mountain is pure and raw. There is nowhere to hide from the inevitable burn in the legs, the gasping for air and the struggle of finding some sort of running form to carry yourself back to the finish line immediately after the frantic descent.

With just the two races taking place, those who visit Pomona on the 25 July will experience the rawness of what started out as a pub bet long before there was even a designated track to the summit of Mt Cooroora.

This year is all about the runners tackling the mountain, witnessed by those who understand the purity of that challenge.

Running the Prince and Princess Race prior to the main race will give the nine- to 13-yearolds the opportunity to return to the finish line and cheer on the main race runners.

Long-time Pomona school teacher, Leslie Saunders, has been training the local runners in preparation for the race. The children scale the first section of the main race before turning right and heading along the tourist pathway, looping back to the base of the mountain, and then on to the finish line near the Lions Den. The 3.4km race has been run in as fast as 16 minutes and 15 seconds, so if you plan on being there at the start, don’t wander off or you may miss the finish. There is truly something moving about watching youngsters giving it their all. Registration is online for the Prince and Princess event.

Those who run mountains will remember each and every mountain race they participate in.

Even many years later, the emotion-filled moments of victory, despair, struggle and sacrifice will rise above the usual challenges of day-to-day life.

With origins dating back over four decades, this mountain challenge has a deep history filled with stories of those who have been part of the journey.

In 2019, local film producer, Jacob Schiotz, spotted the beauty in all that the King of the

2019 Bendigo Bank King of the Mountain Challenge female winner, Reesha Lewis crosses the line.

Coe Vines has run in every King Of the Mountain since 1996.

Mountain festival offers. A few emails, phone calls and cinnamon donuts later, the decision was made that creating a documentary on the festival was a no-brainer.

The year 2020 was going to be the year the festival was captured in all of its flourishing glory; but Covid forced a rethink. With no festival last year, the stripped-back 2021 festival is now centre stage.

Runners on the day will stand on the shoulders of all those who have run before them and both races will be recorded, as not only a form of art, but as a time capsule of the rich history of this gruelling endeavour.

In the morning on race day there will be a Pomona True Value Hardware Bike Ride in the surrounding Pomona bushland.

Registration starts at 8am at the corner of Hospital and School streets in Pomona. This non-competitive ride caters to all skills and is a perfect opportunity to enjoy the trails on a Sunday morning.

The Prince and Princess Race is not accepting registrations on the day. All runners must have registered online by 23 July. The race begins at 1pm at the Lions Den opposite the top

corner of Stan Topper Park.

The warm-up and introduction of the Bendigo Bank International Mountain Challenge runners begins at 2pm at the roundabout near the lower corner of Stan Topper Park.

The starting gun fires at 2:30pm and spectators can watch the runners surge towards the mountain. Come down, support the brave runners, and experience the race like never before. Even without the rides, stalls, and additional entertainments, you’ll still be guaranteed to feel the event’s buzz.

Off and racing.

Planning for our youth With this being the year of the Olympics, many a lesser publicised sport, such as athletics, weight lifting and amateur boxing, just to name a few, will start to be mentioned and discussed at home, at work, on the golf course, or in our favourite club.

“With the Olympics now on,” said Noosa’s Little Athletics head coach Mick Hooper, “hopefully, more parents will become aware that their kids, who are winning track events at their little school yard carnivals, should be encouraged to join such clubs as our Little Athletics. There are many opportunities available in our club. It is just a matter of paying us a visit, have a look and a discussion. All families welcome.”

At present, the Noosa club has a group of some 30 athletes in full training. This will prepare them for what looks like being a big year in competition.

“September will be the busy time with both state and national titles to be contested. The next busy period will be November. Noosa club will once again play host to the annual event of the year, The Noosa Gift. This year, because of Covid regulations, we could see a modified program, however, because the event is held in November, it will give all adults involved, (or just visiting with family), time make sure all their health requirements are fully adhered too.”

For our rugby boys at the Ray White Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club, Saturday was certainly a Super Saturday with a try fest staged against the visiting Caloundra club.

Noosa’s club president Donald McKill summed it up beautifully when he said, “The large scoreboard shone brightly in Noosa’s favour at the end of each game. Caloundra had definitely come to play with plenty of solid defence and good line speed. However, it was Noosa’s strong attacking and open rugby that proceeded to be the difference in all four grades.”

The Colts Division saw Noosa home with convincing win 46-7 and the women’s followed with a 36-19 final score, reserve grade followed on with a 66-7 win, thus giving the three lower grades what was possibly their biggest winning margins ever. ”However, in the main game, the A grade, it 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 July, 2021

Athletes in training. was indeed a much closer contest with Noosa on top at the final whistle, 29-20.

“All of our Noosa coaching staff should be pleased with the results and total commitment of all teams,” said a very happy president.

The A grade was indeed a very close game, with no points scored until the 23rd minute.

This was the result of tight defence out wide from both sides, as well as some very tight rucking. A penalty in front of the Dolphins’ posts, saw Caloundra open the score 3-0, but three minutes later, with Noosa running wide from a scrum, resulted in a try, which was converted 7-3. Caloundra then scored in the corner, unconverted, to give them an 8-7 lead.

However, in the second half Dolphins started to take control and after 10 minutes had achieved a 14-8 lead. Another converted try saw Noosa move away to a 21-8. This was a result of some good rucking from 15 metres out from the visitors’ line. Then a penalty kick for Noosa, followed by a converted try to Caloundra had the game at 24-13 Noosa. Noosa hit back with a good wide move which saw them score in the corner, making it 29-13. Another converted try with minutes to go saw Caloundra close the gap to 29-20.

The club flyer tells us the Noosa Dolphins have managed to secure a home final on 7 August. This will see one and two on the ladder play off with the winner to go straight into the grand final on 21 August.

The club historians tell us this is the 13th year the Dolphins club has sent a team (usually u/15) on a rugby tour. For many of the boys and girls, this has become a rite of passage as they are growing into young adults. Traditionally, the tour travels to New Zealand to play against similar aged players and also take the opportunity to learn about the local culture.

However, because of the Covid-19 restrictions, last year’s group and this year’s, will travel to Cairns, so the trip will go ahead. The group will consist of 24 boys, one super girl and four coaches. This will happen during the September school holiday break and they will play two games, the first on Sunday 19 the second on Tuesday 21, both against a FNQ Barbarian side. First game will be in Cairns and the second in Innisfail. They will also take the time to investigate the wonders that tropical North Queensland has to offer. Queensland Rugby, Far North Queensland Rugby, and Noosa Dolphins, are all involved in the tour. They are also

working on a reciprocal match to be played at Noosa, in 2022, thus keeping the spirit of rugby alive.

To assist in the raising of funds, they have volunteered to be actively involved in many sporting, musical and festive events within the community. One such project will see them involved in the planting of 800 plants. They have also secured jersey sponsorship; the major being GTs on the River, HP Australia, Noosa Surf Club, Tewantin Noosa Lions Club, Tewantin Noosa RSL, Joyce Mayne and Seasons IGA. Add to these, there are another 13 minor sponsors. These sponsorship transactions are an outstanding contribution to one of our most successful sporting clubs - a gesture in which we should take pride.

This weekend, the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club will be at home to the Beerwah Rugby League in all four grades. The first game will kick off at 1pm and the main game, at 5.30pm. Apart from an afternoon of good football, it will also be a big occasion, as the Pirates will host an afternoon for the life members, old boys and major sponsors reunion, one that the people and players of the past should not miss.

Without them, we would not be here now.

Strade Bianche is back

By Abbey Cannan The Noosa Strade Bianche is back for a celebration of the ‘heroic’ age of cycling and steelframed bicycles, and has grown from humble beginnings in 2011, to perhaps the premier vintage cycling event in Australia.

The event is a homage to the ‘golden age’ of cycling and began with a desire to celebrate this, while sharing Noosa and its beautiful hinterland with others.

Experiencing the region from the perspective of the saddle of a classic steel-framed bicycle, riding over roads less travelled is a unique concept.

The refreshment or brevet stops, are famous for providing great food and liquid refreshments.

The 10th edition welcomes vintage cycle enthusiasts to Noosa, from all over south-east Queensland as well as interstate and overseas, on the weekend of 7 and 8 August, with a growing number of women joining.

Event organisers said it was not a race and

although riders don’t need to be super fit, it was not for first-timers. Join the welcome dinner on Saturday night at Pier 11 restaurant at Noosa Marina, and listen to a special guest speaker, or simply enjoy a beer after the event and meet the committee and crew who work tirelessly all year to put the Noosa Strade Bianche event together.

The Noosa Marina, at Tewantin, is again the home for the show and shine event on Saturday 7 August, and as the start and finishing point for the Saturday morning 33 km Piccolo Fondo.

Sunday’s rides are the ‘115km’, Gran Fondo and 86 km Medio Fondo, and the Saturday morning 33km Piccolo Fondo.

The criteria for the bikes are steel frame, with down tube gear shifters or bar end shifters and a keen interest in all things bike.

The Noosa Strade Bianche Association is a not for profit organisation and proceeds from past events have been channelled back into the community and various charities.

Dowling Cup polo a day to remember in Noosa Noosa Country Polo recently hosted the Dowling Cup which has been continuously in competition for more than 70 years on the Sunshine Coast.

Noosa Country Polo president Niall Coburn said it was a wonderful community event.

“We were extremely fortunate to avoid the rain and spectators enjoyed the day with picnics from their car boots watching the polo, sharing the moment with friends, family and work colleagues,” Mr Coburn said.

“There were eight polo teams, including two teams from Victoria, Venture Polo, Brisbane, and the Sunshine Coast.

“The event was sponsored by Countryside Realty Noosa, GMG Steel, Colliers and Eighty20 Partners, for which we are very grateful.”

Niall and Illy Coburn, who are the owners and hosts of the event, were assisted by

Noosa Country Polo recently hosted the Dowling Cup which has been continuously in competition for over 70 years on the Sunshine Coast.

Lauchie Leishman, the organiser, who also played in the final for Countryside Realty Noosa. The standard of polo was high with professional players in each team and the final coming down to a game between Colliers

and Countryside Realty Noosa teams, who battled it out for an hour with Colliers eventually winning by only one and a half goals, taking the Dowling Cup to Brisbane.

There was also an award for the most improved polo player that went to Billy Taylor, who played with Jeremy Brown and Inge Burke in the Noosa Country Polo team.

Playing on the day was Robbie Ballard, who was in the team which won the Australian Open last year and Simon Hill, a professional who played for Kerry Packer and now coaches and teaches at Noosa Country Polo.

The Noosa Country Polo was founded three years ago by Niall and Eileen, and is located at Tunba Court, off Cooroy Mountain Road in Noosa Shire.

The club is a member of the Queensland Polo Association and the Australian Polo Federation.

The property forms part of the original

Dath Henderson dairy farm that has some historic significance in the region having one of the original dairy milking sheds dating back to the 1930s.

The club offers polo lessons, polo clinics and chukkas on most Saturdays at 2pm during the season - March to October - subject to weather conditions or matches away in tournaments.

The next polo event coming up is on Sunday 3 October, which is known as the Noosa Cup and is expected to be a fantastic event where people can look their finest and bring their friends and family to a spectacular Polo Open.

Tickets will be on sale soon, with premium corporate hospitality marquees, peggy square exclusive lawn enclosure and live entertainment.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Eduardo Arena, Stan Cooper and Rod Brooks discuss surfing at the Olympics, San Diego 1972.

A backyard birthday for the Wegeners.

Leanne Airey, first Shadows customer at Annie’s Books.

Surfing goes Olympic Next Sunday, all things being equal, 20 men and 20 women, representing the best 17 surfing nations in the world, will participate in surfing’s Olympic debut at Chiba’s Tsurigasaki Beach, about 100 kilometres from Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium.

In a year when the entire Olympics are going to be anything but normal, and a season when there is unlikely to be quality surf at the chosen venue, surfing will finally take this historic step which has been almost 50 years in the making. Some take the romantic view that the history goes back even further, when surfing’s godfather Duke Kahanamoku won the 100 metres gold medal in Stockholm Harbour in 1912 and told officials that he wanted to see his other sport of choice in the Olympics. This may be so, but in many years of researching the great Hawaiian, I have never found evidence of it.

But once the International Surfing Federation was established in 1965, the powerful men behind the scenes took over “Duke’s Dream” and made it their own. My friend Rod Brooks, a champion surfer and one of Australia’s greatest administrators of the sport, recently posted an old newspaper cutting, showing himself, Australian Surfriders Association president Stan Couper and ISF president Eduardo Arena, in conference at the San Diego World Surfing Championships in 1972 about surfing’s Olympic aspirations.

Arena, a suave and debonair Peruvian who died only recently, did many good things for surfing but taking it to the Olympics was not one of them. The real progress on that would not begin until the world governing body had undergone a name change (to Association) and Fernando Aguerre, a member of Argentina’s national surfing team, was elected president of the ISA in 1994.

Aguerre, working alongside his brother, had already begun to accumulate a sizeable fortune through the surf and footwear company Reef International, and the gregarious Fernando, a born leader, was not averse to throwing his own money at efforts to further surfing’s cause. In 1995 Aguerre met with the then IOC President, Juan Antonio Samaranch, in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he made it clear that the inclusion of surfing in the Olympic Games would be a strategic priority for the ISA. The ISA website notes: “Since that meeting in Lausanne, the ISA made great steps forward both in the global development of the sport and pursuing the dream of Olympic inclusion, with the ultimate goal of spreading the joy of surfing to all corners of the world. With 32 Member Nations in 1995, the ISA has now grown to 109 members … reaching non-traditional surfing markets such as Iran, Sierra Leone, and Russia, to name a few.”

While Aguerre’s attempts to bolster surfing’s numbers by going even further than the examples above and recruiting land-locked developing countries where the only people who had ever surfed were ruling class mem46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 July, 2021

Brazil’s Gabriel Medina shows the Olympic spirit as he trains for Tokyo. bers who had done it on some foreign beach sometimes met with derision, he stuck to his guns and in 2014, the ISA was given renewed optimism under the innovative leadership of the new IOC President Thomas Bach.

Says the ISA: “Bach brought a fresh vision to the Olympics, realising the need to add youthful, vibrant sports. The door was opened for 26 sports, which included surfing and SUP, to apply for inclusion in the Tokyo 2020 Games, an opportunity that was happily welcomed by the ISA.” Two years later, at the 129th IOC Session in Rio de Janeiro, the IOC voted to include surfing as one of five new sports for the Tokyo 2020 Games. While this was a huge personal triumph for Fernando Aguerre, and many in surfing saw it as the huge leap forward for the sport, many others were sceptical about what it would really mean for such an individualistic sport and art form.

But it has to be said that as the Games get closer, there is considerable excitement about it within the surfing world. Next week we’ll take a look at some of the leading surfers competing and evaluate their chances of success.

Women down favourites

By Julian Pitts Noosa Tigers women’s football with Graham Burgen Last weekend, the Noosa Tigers women’s team travelled to Landsborough to take on fourthplaced Hinterland. Hinterland were coming off three straight wins and had just taken the big scalp of early season premiership favourite, Alexandra Hills. In cold, blustery conditions, the Tigers jumped out of the blocks with two first quarter goals and never looked back.

Madi Trompf controlled the backline which had Hinterland squashed in the Tigers’ front half for most of the game. Ruby Hamilton and Cass Young were great around the contest. Sacha Smail, with her poise off half back, set up countless opportunities for our forwards and Jade Cousins, with electric speed, finished off the good work from up the ground with three goals. It was another solid team performance with an even spread of contributors.

Final score: Noosa 8.6 – 54 Hinterland 1.2 - 8 Noosa Tigers Inclusion Football with Rob Purves Noosa Tigers’ Inclusion team made the trip down the highway to play Surfers Paradise on Saturday. Arriving at Surfers the boys were keen to get going and in the first quarter, kicking against a stiff breeze, had the scoreboard ticking over with great defensive rebound from Graydon and Fabulous Phil, with Lachie, in a new role, providing great support and direction.

Moving into the second quarter the Noosa

· ·

The Tigers’ Inclusion Team enjoyed a good win. 243540 boys thought the wind would do it for them, with Surfers boys closing the margin to a couple of points. After half time and a few positional moves and words of wisdom from Cam and Lachie on what we did not do in second quarter, the boys went to work scoring the first five goals of the quarter, through Hunter and Calen dominating the ruck and Wade, Dylan and Daniel H, dominating the midfield, allowing the likes of Jordie, Adrian and Andrew to

ply their trade in front of goal.

This allowed the Noosa boys to go in at the last break full of confidence to finish the game off. With Daniel moving into the ruck and providing first option to the classy Noosa midfield allowed the Noosa boys time to share it around for all to score.

These games are played in great spirit from players from all teams and the big winner on the day is the smiles and stories after from all.

Noosa plays Yeronga next on 24 July at Yeronga, then their final match of season against Surfers Paradise 7 August prior to the men’s senior match against Surfers, culminating in the announcement of the Queensland team to travel to Adelaide for State Inclusion Carnival.

Anyone interested in joining – training is on Wednesday evenings from 5-6.30pm or contact coach Rob Purves on 0433 240 005.

Huge weekend!

A big congratulations to former Noosa junior Maggie Harmer who was named in the all Australian Under 19s team last week. Of course, both Maggie and Bella Smith await the AFLW draft within the next fortnight with both firmly tipped to be drafted, which would be just amazing.

A massive day at Rococo oval this Saturday as the Noosa Tigers take on arch rivals Maroochydore in what should be a mouthwatering clash. Whilst respective ladder positions suggest the Roos are firm favourites, I don’t think this matters when it comes to these two clubs. With 1980/81 and 2010/11 Premiership reunions being celebrated on the day and Essendon legend Terry Daniher entertaining our President’s Luncheon, I’m sure a large pro Noosa crowd will attempt to get the home town over the line. With four games of footy, this Saturday is not to be missed. It will be a ripping day!

STRONG RESPONSE TO STRIKING PROPERTY PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY UNBELIEVABLE, that’s how Trevor Mangels of Century 21 Conolly Hay Group describes the response to a striking property in the hinterland.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom house on 1.99ha at 155 Seib Rd, Eumundi, comes with a free-standing guest cottage.

Set for auction at 12.15pm on Saturday, July 24, it is one of the nicest properties Trevor has had for sale.

The first open house saw the most groups attending in Trevor’s career, one that stretches back to July 1, 1985.

“I was blown away by the comments from people,’’ Trevor said.

“The owners are downsizing.

“The interest came from from everywhere … interstate, and local, Noosa Heads, the wider Sunshine Coast, and out to the Mary Valley.’’

Some were looking to be close to town.

Others were looking for a lifestyle property.

The secondary bedroom is light-filled and spacious, set in its own wing with the study, laundry and central bathroom.

There is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage with an open-plan living space and a deck with a sensational outlook.

MELBURNIANS ON THE MOVE It is a well-known fact Victorians love Noosa, all its natural assets and of course real estate.

With nine registered bidders and 29 keen onlookers at the Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tiffany Wilson’s listing

of townhouse 2, at 12 Duke St, Sunshine Beach, strong bidding preceded the fall of the hammer. The thrilled Melburnian paid $1.36m.

Here for a flying visit, another Melburnian was so determined to purchase property before leaving that he rang Offermann’s Tracy Russell about the Tim Ditchfield-designed, free-standing luxury beach house 2 at 26 Peregian Esp, Peregian Beach.

Tracy had it slated for auction on Friday, July 16, but after his initial inquiry from the airport, followed by subsequent negotiations on the aircraft and back home in Melbourne, his mission was accomplished paying $3m. Naturally he was ecstatic.

Set among manicured gardens and grounds with a dam, it is a tranquil haven.

Affectionately known as The Farm, this luxurious property is surrounded by state forest and a large 400 acre property.

The original cottage has been lovingly transformed from a 90sq m dwelling into a 245sq m architect-designed masterpiece where old meets new in a wonderful way.

From spotted gum timber floors to a garden room with polished concrete floors are paired with a Glasshouse granite wall.

Oversized sliding timber panels open this space to the gardens to welcome the outside in.

INTERESTING PROPOSITION Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate has a really interesting property in Sunseeker Cl, Noosaville, set for auction on Saturday, July 24.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, onecar, free-standing home on one level is at 2/12 Sunseeker Cl. “It’s rare for that position to have a single-level and free-standing home.

“There are parks and the water at the end of the street.

“This area is so sought-after and singlelevel living has remarkably broad appeal … downsizers, young professionals,.

“Going to the market for the first time in 21 years, it also offers renovation potential.

“There has been a permanent tenant for two decades.’’

Interest has been from locals downsizing, people planning on downsizing in the future and looking for investment return in the short term, so it can be short term as well as permanent rental.

There has been interstate interest as well as expats looking to use it as an investment in the short to medium term.

Features include the outdoor entertaining area that has great northerly aspect, along with the proximity to Noosa Village shopping centre and the river.

There is 3.3m-high pitched ceiling, wide windows on three walls and glass sliders accessing the courtyard.

Tucked between the dining and living spaces is a C-shaped kitchen with a window out to the terrace.

The townhome goes to auction at 1pm next Saturday.

The main bedroom looks to the entertaining area and pool. All bedrooms are carpeted with built-in wardrobes and fans.

“There is one road in and one road out of this exclusive precinct of residential homes for owner-occupiers.

“An underpass takes you through to the beach.

“Sunrise Beach is really increasing in value.

“The price growth this year has been unbelievable.’’

With street-level entry, the house offers multiple living areas and upstairs as well as downstairs rear outdoor entertaining decks.

Sunrise Beach offers a wonderful yearround lifestyle, Leanne said.

The house is a renovator from the mid 1990s.

With limited properties available in the enclave, the initial response has been from interstate buyers.

“When Covid first kicked off Sunshine Beach was the first to benefit. It was really reflected in sales prices.

“There were a lot of farmers along with high-profile buyers.

“Anyone who ever thought of owning in Noosa, one day, acted. They decided they were going to do it.

The direction of this extensive renovation project was to create a “MidCentury Modern Home with a Scandinavian Twist”, working with the bones of the original 1970’s well-built structure, and enhancing the thermal benefits and cross flow ventilation of this coastal location. No expense or time was spared to achieve a practical, well-appointed and maintained, timeless and much loved home. The sensational and irreplaceable views are the “icing on Sunrise hill”!

Covid-19 saw a rethinking of relationships, not just with each other, work and recreation but the way we interact with the environment.

Working at home has underlined the importance of good design, and the need to alter our thinking.

Here, our design and buildings are so intrinsically linked to the natural environment.

That has been evident in the Master Builders awards judging this year.

Real estate principal Tom Offermann said matching the Noosa aesthetic with design really stands out, the way we embrace the environment. noosatoday.com.au

Second living areas are more functional as more and more people decide to work from home. 243699

The Sunshine Coast Design book is designed to show how good design is vital to protecting what the community values most.

“It only makes sense given the amenable environment in which we live,’’ he said.

“Work with it, open the houses up.

“We do not have to close them up for the weather.’’

If there has been a trend this year with the Master Builders judging process it is the ’70s beach houses have been revisited - perhaps a hint of early Hollywood and Palm Springs - with a Hamptons theme in greys and whites. There is not much blue except for cushions, towels and trim.

Maybe as a reaction to the Covid lockdowns of last year there is a bit more fun - funky family homes or terrace homes and apartments for couples/single parents or downsizers.

There has been a mix of textures including wallpapers, interesting bench tops and the return of the white double kitchen sinks.

A lot is being done with a little ... bigger living areas in homes with more functional floorplans, thoughtful use of exterior areas with decks and garden spaces to entertain in.

There has been some interesting interior - from beach casual to suburban chic.

Convenience is matched with location and aspect.

SMALL ACREAGE, SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TIGHTLY held for the last 30 years, this beautiful 2.59 acre property on a country style lane has a stunning panoramic vista to the North and East. This outlook includes lush countryside that is the Noosa hinterland and long distance views to both Mt Cooroy and Mt Tinbeerwah.

A long sweeping driveway winds it’s way up to the home past lush green paddocks of grass. The land here has just a gentle slope and consists of approximately two thirds cleared, some natural bush, and a dam. Originally built in the late 1980’s, the three bedroom home features raked ceilings with exposed timbers in the open plan living area. Inside also has loads of natural light and glass sliders that connect to the timber verandahs where you can relax and enjoy the pretty views.

The bedrooms are a good size with the main one having direct access to the two

way bathroom. This bedroom also enters directly out to the verandah.

The brick and timber home is in very good condition for it’s age however is ripe for a renovation that will truly embrace the beauty of this spot. Or perhaps build in underneath if so desired, where the space is currently used for car parking.

So much scope and possibilities for this property. There’s room for a couple of horses, maybe have your own hobby farm, or simply to let the kids run and play. Such a fantastic location being situated close to the thriving township of Cooroy, yet with that out of town feeling.

The current owners have really enjoyed their time here, however, they are now ready to downsize and retire. Inspections are at the bi weekly open homes and the auction will be held on site where this property will be sold. ●

QUIET 5-STAR TOWNHOUSE BY THE WATER JUST steps to the water's edge in seemingly its own secluded paradise shrouded by palms, this luxury townhouse offers an exceptional lifestyle, plus a back gate and pathway to the Noosa River foreshore and Gympie Terrace.

Fusing coastal style with touches of Bahamas-inspired flair, is obvious from the moment the timber and glass door opens into the light-filled hallway.

Natural-hued tiled flooring flows into the generous open-plan living area, adorned with banks of plantation shutters which slide back, amplifying the indoors-out effect, with a seamless transition to the terrace on the north-westerly side. You certainly get the feeling someone is about to pour a drink before a long lunch.

Bordering the tiled terrace is lawn and low maintenance sub-tropical gardens, which stretch along the back fence either side of the secure gate. This opens to a waterside cycle and walkway which goes under the Gympie Terrace bridge to the Noosa River foreshore and parallels Gympie Terrace.

On the northern boundary, a totally private, glass-fenced dazzling pool has a heliconia-fringed terrace, the perfect oasis for sun worshippers, shade seekers and afternoon tea. This is true indoor/outdoor

living for the entertainer, thanks to an in-vogue kitchen, yet it works intuitively around everyday life. It has stone-bench tops and breakfast bar, plus pantry and

high-end appliances. Extra storage is under the stairs, a deluxe powder room is nearby as is a laundry with door to outside.

Upstairs reveals two bright white dreamy

bedrooms with pops of blue and coastal elements such as plantation shutters.

Looking from the balcony, the palette indoors totally complements the Noosaville waterway, Noosa River, and the coastal skyline with sublime sunsets. All three bedrooms have built-ins, the master has an ensuite which like the shared family-size bathroom, is new and has been fitted out with the latest contemporary fixtures and features.

"This is a must-see, move-in-now townhouse, one of four in a small enclave in a prized location at the end of a cul-desac," explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Mal Cox who is taking the property to auction on Friday, 6 August, 2021.

"Entry to the private secluded estate is via an electronic security gate with widearboured Poincianas either side. It really is a blue-ribbon waterside location which engages visually with the surrounding prestige residences and is perfect for walking, cycling, fishing and boating enthusiasts.

"The cycle and walkway go under the Gympie Terrace bridge to the Noosa River foreshore. The Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club is almost a neighbour and Gympie Terrace is nationally known as cafe and restaurant central." ●

THE NEXT ‘GREAT TECH STORY’ WANTED FOR THE PEREGIAN DIGITAL HUB AS part of an ongoing campaign to attract local and national technology companies to the Noosa Shire, Colliers is searching for “the next great tech story” to join other emerging tech and digital businesses in the Peregian Digital Hub. One of the Hub’s fast-growing startups has recently graduated into their own larger space and this has opened up a unique opportunity for an up-and-coming tech company to benefit from the Hub’s entrepreneurial environment and supportive culture. Jesse Howitt from Colliers said “Not only are we seeking tech startups to join the tenancy mix, we also see this as an opportunity for larger metro-based tech companies whose employees work remotely. With the onset of Covid last year, some of Australia’s leading tech companies are seeing a large percentage of their workforce working remotely on a permanent
