Coast walk soothes the mind About 2000 trekkers, mostly women, walked along our spectacular coastline last Friday as participants in the Sunshine Coast’s Coastrek and raised more than $1m for Beyond Blue along the way.

They made a spectaculor sight snaking along the beach towards the finish line at Noosa Woods.

Rates rise shock

By Abbey Cannan Noosa’s short stay accommodation owners have been left in shock after being handed a hike in Council rates during an already tough period in the tourism industry.

Noosa Council introduced new rating categories for properties offered for transitory or short stay accommodation in the 2021/22 budget.

Acting chief executive officer Michael Shave said the purpose was to address the demand these type of uses have on council services and infrastructure through the general rating structure.

“The initiative is part of council’s way of addressing the impact the increase of short stay letting is having on the shire,” he said.

“Council is certainly proactively supporting local business across the shire, but equally we need to ensure that properties utilised by short term visitors are contributing equitably towards the cost of services council provides.”

These can range from economic activity, tourism promotion, new infrastructure, parking to transport.

“For those short stay properties subject to the new rating categories, the median weekly increase in general rates was about $14.”

Niche Noosa managing director Sue Willis said that would be one way to look at it, but $728 (average) per year would be another.

“Short stays have much less impact on council services and infrastructure than residents,” Ms Willis said.

“Most properties only have limited occu-

pancy, hence general infrastructure such as water, sewer, rubbish and roads are much less than residents. Guests generally do not rely on many services such as library, sporting facilities, or council departments such as planning, building, rates. Many guests do not have vehicles so are less inclined to use parking and roads.”

Ms Willis questioned why the council would want to promote tourism on one hand and discourage availability with the other.

“This will only encourage day trippers,” she said.

Mr Shave said council raised the introduction of the new rating categories through the recent budget consultation process, with feedback from the community considered by councillors prior to budget adoption.

Similar rating categories have been adopted by Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast regions.

Ms Willis hit back as she said feedback was not broadly sought and only available on the council website.

“Consultation period was open for less than 14 days and our feedback has not yet received a response from Noosa Council - and with more than 200 luxury houses and apartments on our books I would have thought we would be an obvious point of contact for council if they were intent on industry and community feedback,” she said.

“It appears this increase was pushed through with the hope of going unnoticed.

“I have checked with clients of ours in Buderim and their rates have been increased in line with CPI.”

The round-the-houses sprints on Queensland s southern Darling Downs will be staged on 21-22 August and four lucky readers have the chance to win tickets.

Win a pass to Leyburn The best way to experience the excitement and beauty of the Historic Leyburn Sprints is being there.

The round-the-houses sprints on Queensland’s southern Darling Downs will be staged on 21-22 August, celebrating the 25th running since its founding in 1996 and 72 years since the little bush town hosted the 1949 Australian Grand Prix.

With more than 200 cars of all types and vintages competing one at a time against the clock on a one kilometre, closed street course around the township, the noise and smell encapsulates the excitement.

Noosa Today has four double weekend passes to give away to lucky readers so they can get up close to the action.

Entries close at noon on Tuesday 10 August.

To enter simply go to noosatoday.com.au/ competitions and click on Historic Leyburn Sprints.

The Olympic Games have begun and Brisbane has been named as the host for the 2032 Olympic Games.

What will this mean for Noosa?

Noosa punches well above its weight when it comes to sporting stars. And we have a collection of former Olympians and world champions from an array of sports living in the shire.

And as I’m often reminded by a colleague, Noosa has the depth and strength of athletes to become a centre for sport in the country.

Eleven years is a long time in politics. At present Noosa is not a member of the South East Queensland councils involved in discussions on future plans for the Olympics but Mayor Clare has already raised the possibility our shire be included.

What would it mean for our infrastructure?

It was the Olympics that led Japan to introduce their bullet train in the 1960s.

What a difference a bullet train would make to transport and traffic on the Sunshine Coast and the Bruce Highway.

What will it mean for tourism? Property prices? What about rates?

Could Noosa be the venue for Olympic surfing as well as ocean paddling?

Anyway, while we look toward the future Olympics we can enjoy the present, along with the families of Olympian competitors who have decided to stay in Noosa while they watch their loved ones perform.

And look out for our own Olympic hopeful Kareena Lee who will be competing in the 10km ocean swim event in Tokyo on 4 August.

‘Blunt instrument’ hurts

By Phil Jarratt Whatever outcomes Noosa Council intended with its new rates structure for short term rental accommodations, huge numbers of ordinary residents who worked to fund their retirements by investing in holiday apartments are apparently just collateral damage.

I know because I am one of them. Last week’s half-yearly rate notice for our holidaylet apartment revealed a 47 per cent ($433) increase over the same period last year. The Tourism and Economic Levy of $51 last year has gone, but in moving our property from Category 23 to Category 26 (whatever that means), the general rate increased by almost 70 per cent, from $686 to $1159.

As I understand it, council was trying to target people who were short-term letting houses and apartments in residential areas without contributing to the tourism-driven economy.

So how does that include the many thousands of property owners, like me, who bought into purpose-built tourist accommodation complexes years ago with the intention of selffunding their retirements?

Of the more than 100 units in the beautiful resort where we are owners, I understand that some are owner-occupied and some are short-term let on Airbnb and other platforms, but more than half, including ours, are in the holiday letting pool, contributing to the tourism economy through the payment of management fees. Why are we being gouged?

As one councillor told Noosa Today last week: “It looks like the rate structure was made using a very blunt instrument.” Indeed, and when the rate notices went out on 20 July, there was an immediate reaction of outrage from the managers of complexes feeling the sting. Mayor Stewart’s inbox was overflowing before the day was done.

Finola Thompson, who is deputy chair of the Noosaville Short Term Accommodation Association, as well as co-manager at Coral Beach Resort, wrote: “We urgently need your assistance regarding the rates notices sent out today. We have been contacted by several of our owners who are, frankly, in shock over the increase in rates compared with previous years … Whilst we understand that council decided to make some changes to the rating categories to remove the tourism levy, as that is now considered part of general rates, we were never advised that the increase would be anything other than in-line with the low inflation and Covid environments we are operating in … To expect our owners to take a 35-50 per cent rate hike at a time when their returns continue to be negatively impacted by Covid is unreasonable. Many of our owners have been invested in Noosa for over 20 years and have willingly paid a higher general rate plus the tourism levy without any complaints.

We can only assume that these rate notices contain some calculation error, as we cannot imagine that councillors would have voted for this size of increase.”

Managers at The Islander Rod McLennan and Cathy Parry-Moule wrote: “Our owners have saved to buy an investment unit and trust us to act as their letting agent … The extortion-

Accommodation complex managers Cathy Parry-Moule and Finola Thompson. ate increase in rates for tourist accommodation is particularly insensitive for property owners who are not tycoons or millionaires.

They are mum and dad investors or grandparents or young professionals. We suggest that the increase is unfair and can only assume that our councillors were not aware of the farreaching consequences of the implementation of the new rate categories.”

Adam Smith, manager at South Pacific Resort, wrote: “This massive increase could not come at a worse time, with income to apartment owners well down and our business also struggling with half the Australian population currently in Covid lockdown and our borders shut. Many of our investors have been looking at their options recently in regards to their apartments and my concern is that this rate increase (or money grab) by council will be the final straw for many of them and they will either sell their apartments or put in a permanent tenant to avoid the increase … a devastating blow to our already struggling business and to the tourism economy in Noosa as a whole.”

The managers raised some interesting questions, such as was there adequate community consultation, did councillors fully understand the ramifications of their vote, or was

it a huge clerical error? “No, the staff is not going to take the fall for this,” one councillor told Noosa Today. “We knew exactly what we were doing and we’ll stand by it.”

And how is a strata-title managed “resort” different from a hotel or a motel, when both provide the same services for tourists but the hotels are exempt from this impost? “It’s designed to level the playing field,” said another councillor. In fact, it does the exact opposite.

And if a desired result was to force owners into long-term letting for resident workers, what does that do for the bulk of Noosa’s tourist accommodations, which are managed complexes?

But even more poignant than the fears of the managers was the despair of the owners themselves. Alison and Alex, owners at South Pacific Resort, wrote to the mayor: “We are retirees who rely on the income from our investment property, having made a conscious effort to invest carefully and specifically in Noosa’s tourism industry because we saw this as a reliable growth industry. Now at a time of a worldwide pandemic that has had a crippling effect on travel and holiday accommodation, Noosa Council has chosen to target our diminished earnings even further. This is both opportunistic and cruel in its total disregard for the toll

this will take on the savings and investment of people who can’t afford further losses.”

Owners at Coral Beach, who wished to remain anonymous, wrote: “I would appreciate your advice on what justification there has been for this level of increase. A cursory examination would tend to indicate fiscal incompetence if a rate increase of this magnitude was necessary. As a courtesy, and as ratepayers in Noosa Council area, could you please advise why this increase has occurred? Unless this is a severe mathematical error then councillors would have been fully aware of this level of increase, as it no doubt would have passed through council for ratification.”

At the time of writing, councillors willing to talk off the record and sources within council staff were all toeing the line that the rate gouge was transparent and in the community interest. No one is willing to admit that there may have been an error of judgement, a miscalculation, or even poor messaging. We told you what was coming and here it is, and if you get mowed down by a stray bullet, too bad.

A lot of ordinary Noosa citizens, people who pay their way and work for their community, don’t see it that way. There is a budget review in the spring. Let’s see if that brings a change of heart.

Spaniard claims throne

By Margaret Maccoll It was a different King of the Mountain last Sunday, according to organising committee chair Heather Manders, but “a really good day“.

After missing last year’s event because of Covid and ongoing restrictions, the CooroyPomona Lions Club event, the 2021 Pomona King of the Mountain, was scaled back to focus on the races and reduce the financial outlay in case Covid led to its cancellation.

“This year was a chance to have a smaller scale event and see how it works,“ Heather said.

There were 50 competitors in the mountain bike race, 64 competitors in the Prince and Princess race and 93 entered into the main race.

“Everyone got behind the racers,“ Heather said.

As they lined up for the race, each competitor was acknowledged and cheered on.

The winner was 32-year-old Spaniard Jorge Hernaez Navarro in a time of 27mins 11secs.

Jorge came to Noosa from Spain to learn Eng-

lish, expecting to remain only six months but has now been in Australia for almost two years.

The first woman over the line was Leslie Saunders. It was the third time the 50-year-old Pomona State School teacher who also organises the Prince and Princess race had taken the title of Queen of the Mountain.

Heather said a couple of people pulled out of the race because of injury, a few were stuck in lockdown and the usual New Zealand competitors weren’t there, but most people who entered came along.

The youngest entrant was 13-year-old Buderim student Max Penny who was following in his dad’s footsteps. Max aimed to run it faster than his dad, Sam, and score bragging rights at home.

The King of the Mountain would have been a walk in the park for the oldest competitor.

Frank Falappi, 81, was running his third King of the Mountain. Frank competes in ultra marathons of 50-100km in both Australia and New Zealand.

Sophie’s Olympic dream The inclusion of surfing as an Olympic sport in Tokyo has inspired USC graduate Sophie McCulloch to set her sights on competing at the 2024 Games in Paris.

Sophie, 22, of Alexandra Headland, competes in the International World Surf League Challenger Series and has enjoyed seeing her heroes Sally Fitzgibbons, Stephanie Gilmore and Julian Wilson progress through the opening rounds at Japan’s Shidashita Beach.

Sophie has just completed a combined degree in Marketing and Biomedical Science at USC, where she was a member of the University’s High Performance Student Athlete program.

A video of Sophie being interviewed about her surfing ambitions by Sunshine Coast Lightning goal shooter Peace Proscovia is online at USC’s ‘Aiming for Games Glory’ page.

In the interview, she describes the introduction of surfing to the Olympics as a huge step for the sport.

“We haven’t always been noticed as professional athletes and I believe that being a part of the Olympics will help everyone else gain an understanding of the sport,” she said.

“The next Olympics is definitely one of my main goals. I would love to be able to have the opportunity to try and win gold for my country.”

Six athletes associated with USC are competing in the Tokyo Games.

Sophie, 22, of Alexandra Headland, competes in the International World Surf League Challenger Series.

Results for USC athletes to date are: Kaylee McKeown set a new Olympic Record and finished as the fastest qualifier in 100m backstroke heats on Sunday night in a time of 57.88 seconds. She finished second in her semi-final today in 58.11 seconds and is the third fastest qualifier for tomorrow’s final.

Kaia Parnaby in the Australian softball team has had one win from four games in the opening round. The team defeated Italy 1-0 in its second match, but lost to Japan 8-1, Canada 7-1, and the USA 2-1.

Volunteers fight no-win battle with sport field vandals

By Margaret Maccoll Sporting club volunteers are fighting a nowin battle against increasing cases of vandalism and people openly flouting the rules that is costing them money they can’t afford and impacting their activities.

Over the past few months sporting clubs across the shire from pony and football clubs to netball groups have reported a marked increase in bad behaviour ranging from serious acts of fence destruction to irresponsible walking of dogs on football fields and leaving the poo behind for players to discover during the game.

New ’anti-vandal’ fencing has been ripped apart, people have ridden bikes and skateboards across newly-painted netball courts before they were dry, requiring them to be repainted, fires have been lit on fields and rubbish, including furniture, household waste and large amounts of green waste, has been dumped on the premises.

Volunteers say it’s not young people doing the damage but middle-aged and older folk.

In one instance, a middle-aged woman, later discovered to be a Noosa Waters resident, was observed chopping into a fence post, until she realised she was being watched and took flight. There were trainees on site still installing the fencing when the vandalism occurred.

Broken fence palings.

Volunteers are bewildered by the attitude of entitlement or arrogance they have been confronted with. When some have asked dog walkers to pick up or not walk their dogs off leash, they are met with shrugs or complete disregard, despite signs banning dogs on site.

Tewantin Noosa Pony Club secretary Jasmine Soar said since Noosa Council put up a fence to contain the horses, a group of walkers had continually damaged it in order to access an unofficial walking track.

Jasmine said the fence bordered state and local government land beside the old TAFE site and the track had long been used by the walkers.

A fence paling chopped into.

“Four or five time since the start of the year we’ve had bolts cut, palings broken, fences pulled apart,“ she said.

“We have to keep getting it repaired and that costs money.“ Jasmine fears a horse may get loose and end up on the busy Noosa Cooroy Road. “I have to go and double-check that nothing is broken,“ she said.

Jasmine said a neighbour and most of the dog walkers were supportive and let them know if they spotted any damage, but a few “angry“ walkers came, obviously with tools, to cause damage.

Noosa Pirates Rugby League Football Club

general manager Brett Winkler said most people did the right thing and it was just a few that were letting their dogs run free over the football fields and at Cooroy had smashed windows and sprayed graffiti on the walls.

“It’s this few who don’t care, don’t follow the rules,“ he said. “It’s really disappointing.

We have to look after the grounds,“ he said.

“The kids come to play and complain about having dog poo on their feet and shoes.“ Local club volunteers maintain these sites that are leased from Noosa Council and are becoming increasingly frustrated with having to deal with disrespectful residents.

Coast walk soothes souls

By Margaret Maccoll About 2000 trekkers, mostly women, walked along our spectacular coastline last Friday as participants in the Sunshine Coast’s Coastrek and raised more than $1m for Beyond Blue along the way.

Walkers were doing it to raise money for a good cause and to enjoy the walk with friends, they said.

One team told Noosa Today it was important to them because each member of their group had family or friends that had been affected by mental health issues.

Local Coastrek founder and organiser Di Westway said teams of four walked 60km from Caloundra or 30km from Mudjimba finishing the event at Noosa Woods.

Ms Westway said the participants, who included Olympic swimmer and Coastrek ambassador Libby Trickett, were aged mostly between 35-55 years and had a time limit of completing the 60km event within 18 hours and the 30km event within nine hours.

She said teams had been training for the past 12 weeks for the walk and raising money toward the cause with proceeds to Beyond Blue to be used predominantly for the helpline service which has experienced a 60 per cent increase in calls during Covid.

Ms Westway said organisers of the Sydneybased group travelled in previous years to the Sunshine Coast but this year Covid restrictions prevented them attending.

However, local people had stepped up to assist and cheered participants along the way and over the finish line.

Coastrek has been operating on the Sunshine Coast as well as other locations for several years, inspiring more than 40,000 people to get moving out in nature, and raising more than $30 million for charity.

Friends and family gather at a Sunset Cruise raising funds to assist Noosa resident Josh Brown in fighting for his life.

NEWS

Noosa resident Josh Brown alongside his partner Jess Scurrah.

Locals unite for Josh Only a few hours after going to hospital with stomach pain, local resident Josh Brown was given just months to live.

In February he was scheduled for emergency surgery to remove a large malignant tumor, and diagnosed with Stage 4 aggressive bowel cancer.

At age 40 Josh, with a young family to support, was left shocked by the news.

For those in the Noosa area, Josh is a beloved local character. Alongside his partner Jess Scurrah he has worked in the hospitality industry for the past 15 years.

If you were ever dining at Halse Lodge or Imperial Hotel, all you had to do is listen for the laughter and there you’d find Josh. They say ‘to know him, is to love him’ and this has never been truer than of Josh.

After emergency surgery, Josh was devastatingly referred to palliative care and, while awaiting immunotherapy treatment trials in Brisbane, his health took a further turn for the worst.

Considering there were delays accessing the trial and his health was rapidly deteriorating, the family made the decision to seek medical help overseas.

In an effort to increase his life expectancy he received a medical exemption to leave Australia, flew to the US and then on to a state-ofthe-art facility specialising in immunotherapy in Mexico.

Josh is currently receiving immunotherapy/ chemotherapy alongside alternative therapies and cancer education by world experts.

To help with costs associated with this intensive treatment, financial assistance has been provided via a Go Fund Me campaign launched by family.

Partner Jessica Scurrah said, “We are so incredibly grateful for the support from the Noosa community. There have been many hard times over the last few months and we wouldn’t have progressed this far without the love and support of our community, families and friends.“

Lucy Mills, a friend of Josh who was at the recent fundraiser initiative, said Josh and Jess had done so much to support the community over the last 15 years.

“It was so great to see everyone get together and help at this time and wish Josh so much strength in battling cancer and fighting for his life,“ Lucy said.

Thanks to the generous local businesses who chipped in for a great event, including a sunset cruise donated by Noosa Canal Cruises and other local businesses who also made the day possible, Eumundi Imperial, Jojos Noosa, Kanu Capers, L’Auberge Noosa, Amadio Wines, Jess Scurrah Art and Noosa Springs.

Organiser of the Sunset Cruise Fundraiser, family member Sarah Scurrah said she was grateful to belong to such a caring community.

“We want to send Josh a clear message that he is not fighting this battle alone,“ Sarah said.

“We are with him every step of the way and

will continue to do whatever it takes to ensure he keeps receiving this life saving treatment.“ The Sunset Cruise took place on the weekend, which was Josh’s 41st birthday, July 25.

Friends and family came together and celebrated to show their love and support for him.

Those in attendance ranged from friends, family, colleagues from Halse Lodge and Eumundi Imperial and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

Josh is currently making good progress in his cancer treatment program and is in contact with people who, after receiving the treatment, have not only extended their life expectancy but have fought the cancer into remission.

Statistics may not be on his side, however, with hope in his heart, Josh is determined to do the same.

The ongoing costs for the family living overseas are considerable. To assist Josh in fighting for his life you can donate to the Go Fund Me campaign at gofund.me/3164462b

Looking for love

By Margaret Maccoll Noosa criminal lawyer Belinda Robinson admits to being married to her job so to meet a man she decided to follow in the footsteps of fellow criminal lawyer Anna Heinrich who set a record for having the longest, most successful relationship of The Bachelor after winning the first ever series in 2013.

“My life revolves around work so the only men I come into contact with are my criminal clients and my work colleagues so this opportunity was perfect for me,” she said when asked why she wanted to be one of 23 contestants on Network Ten’s The Batchelor.

“It was honestly such an incredible once in a lifetime incredible experience.”

Unfortunately the magic wasn’t there for Belinda and the bachelor, 31-year-old pilot Jimmy Nicholson, and she was evicted from the show last week after only two episodes.

“Jimmy is an incredible guy - so sincere,”

she said. “It’s unfortunate we didn’t have that connection.”

However, Belinda still rates the show as a realistic way to meet your match.

And as a bonus she walked away after making “lifelong connections” with the other 22 women vying for Jimmy’s affections.

Having had only one relationship in her life, an 11-year relationship that began in her teenage years, Belinda said she really had nothing to compare it to when her first date as an adult occurred on the show, with two other women.

“It’s such a different experience but incredible,” she said. “I’m so lucky I got to be part of it.

“What you see on the TV is exactly what it’s like. We do live together. We go on dates together. We go to cocktail parties. That’s exactly what you see.”

She said her family was right behind her de-

cision to go on the reality show.

“My family has been incredibly supportive,” she said. “They loved watching me on TV and being part of the magic.”

Belinda was 15 years old when she moved to Noosa with her family from Sydney. After attending four different high schools, she went to university where she studied law.

“It was important to do something that would help people and make sure my work had an impact on people’s lives,” she said.

Belinda threw herself into her work and study, completing several law-related degrees including a Masters and a graduate certificate in domestic violence.

While she didn’t find love on The Bachelor, Belinda is still a believer in the show.

“I would recommend it for anyone,” she said. “It’s an incredible experience. It’s so much fun. It’s definitely a way you could find true love.”

Woman dies in Wide Bay crash

Police have charged a 51-year-old Sunshine Coast woman in relation to a fatal crash at Balmoral Ridge on 27 May. It will be alleged a four-wheel-drive was travelling on Landsborough Maleny Road when it collided with a ute that was waiting at a stop sign on Maleny Montville Road around noon.

The driver of the ute, a 71-year-old Kenilworth man, was airlifted to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a critical condition. He died as a result of his injuries on 31 May. Following Forensic Crash investigations, the woman was issued with a Notice to Appear on charges of dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and driving under the influence of liquor (UIL) with an alleged blood alcohol reading of 0.276 per cent.

She is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 30 August.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating after a woman died in a single car crash at Kilkivan on Saturday morning.

Police attended the scene on the Wide Bay Highway at 2.19am after receiving reports of a silver coloured SUV on fire.

Early investigations indicate the driver of the car failed to navigate a bend in the road and collided with a tree.

A 31-year-old Sexton woman was the only occupant of the car when it crashed.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Forensic Crash Unit is appealing for witnesses, or anyone with more information on the incident, to contact them.

Police dogs honoured A monument honouring all police dogs that have served the state since 1972 has been launched to recognise their loyalty and commitment to keeping Queensland safe.

Minister for Police and Corrective Services and Minister for Fire and Emergency Services Mark Ryan joined Acting Assistant Commissioner Stephen Dabinett to launch the Queensland Police Service (QPS) Police Dog Service Monument which consists of more than 300 engraved stones.

Health’s game changer Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson officially opened Vitality Village which boasts to being a game-changing health and wellbeing facility in the health precinct in Birtinya.

Noosa Council bans Satanists from using public venue for Black Mass.

Satan outed

By Abbey Cannan Noosa Council has rejected Noosa Temple of Satan’s application to use a council-owned venue for its upcoming Black Mass.

Council informed the Satanists their Halloween booking for the civic centre known as The J was denied because the 2020 event “... triggered a high level of concern and complaint amongst the community”.

Council’s decision left Satan temple leader and spiritual head Brother Samael Demo-Gorgon in despair.

“Our Black Mass is a celebration of religious freedom. Unfortunately, it is clear that many Christians want to cancel our religious freedom and are happy to use intimidation tactics to do so,” he said.

“Despite this intolerance, last year’s Black Mass was a great success, providing a sense of community for Satanists across Australia. We were hoping to make it even bigger and better at The J, which is a venue that continues to host Hillsong every week.”

Brother Samael said he would be calling on the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) and groups such as Freedom for Faith to publicly

urge the Noosa council to overturn its decision.

Council has recommended that the applicant consider hiring one of council’s community halls to run a self-managed event.

Community Services Director Kerri Contini said several considerations are taken into account when deciding to accept a booking at The J. “In determining whether or not to accept bookings at The J, council considers whether the benefits of hosting a booking outweigh the impacts on business activities including such matters as finances, operations and staff health and safety,” she said.

Ms Contini said last year’s Black Mass event required a considerable amount of staff time beyond what was considered reasonable for a small event.

“This additional workload had a significant negative impact on staff’s ability to undertake other business operations and the event also triggered a high level of concern and complaint amongst the community,“ she said.

“Staff were verbally abused and there was an unacceptable impact on staff safety and wellbeing.“

The joint venture project between Be (formerly ComLink) and Double R projects, created with start-up funding, takes a collaborative approach to some of the nation’s major health challenges including social isolation, continuity of care, and proactive health, which are issues that span across industries, age groups, and communities locally and globally.

The five-storey 4700-square metre building features office space, open space for presentations and events, as well as a cafe with seating and tables for tenants and visitors.

Be chairman Tim Robson said a major aspect of the village was to bring like-minded companies together to collaborate and share their skills and knowledge to come up with innovative ways of working and transforming health and wellbeing, which he believes will reduce pressure on the national health budget.

“What you will see with the village is some of the most nimble and innovative businesses on the Sunshine Coast beginning a partnership together to identify and deliver significant improvements to health care and long-term economic benefits for the region.“ Cr Jamieson said Vitality Village was a great example of what could be achieved through innovation, collaboration and determination.

“The Vitality Village will provide a great impetus for the array of community health and wellbeing services on our Sunshine Coast,“ he said.

Be is the foundation tenant of Vitality Village with all staff and volunteers relocating from their current office in Innovation Parkway at Birtinya to the new building.

Joining Be at the Village are ENTAG, Look Now Training, 121 Care, The Allied Health Team, Character Care, Sunshine Coast Respiratory and Sleep, Health Care Australia and Compass Institute, with 70 per cent of the building currently tenanted.

An estimated 500 people will work in the Village, including The Allied Health Team, that consists of specialists in exercise physiology, occupational therapy and physiotherapy.

The Allied Health Team chief executive officer Ryan Dreves said the concept would ensure great ideas flowed between local businesses.

“Being a part of the Village is so exciting as we are going to be able to work in a space with other businesses with a similar ethos, working for the greater good of the community,“ he said.

Local technology company ENTAG has taken up 470 m2 of office space on the fourth floor of the building for its team of 65 staff.

ENTAG chief executive officer Kris Carver said ENTAG’s goal was to be a leading technology services business with national scale. Our collaboration with Vitality Village will enhance our ability to a be a leader in digital health,“ he said.

Vitality Village aims to address some of our communities’ biggest challenges and work collaboratively on creating practical solutions.For more information visit vitalityvillage.com.au

Meeting up for Monty

By Margaret Maccoll Attracting high-tech talent, building valuable connections and benefiting the ecosystem were three aims of the Peregian Digital Hub that aligned perfectly when it brought together young entrepreneur Ashley Baxter and agritech (agricultural technology) venture capitalist Al Fullerton.

The hook up resulted in Ashley’s invention of the world’s first smart composting device called a Monty landing a $500,000 investment thanks to Al’s investment group, Mandalay Funds Management, enabling her company Monty Compost Co to enter full-scale production.

Hub director Chris Boden said Ashley arrived at the Hub after graduating UQ and progressed through their iLab entrepreneurs program. She had an idea for a smart composting device and was mentored by people at the Hub. “We were really impressed by Ash and asked her to be a mentor in our Athena program - a STEM program that we run with Noosa District and Sunshine Beach State High Schools,” he said.

“As part of her involvement Ash ran a series of workshops with Year 10-11 students, shared her story and told them about product development.”

Ashley developed a beta version of her Monty and the Hub introduced her to the Peregian community garden which became her trial site.

The device consists of a thick probe which sits in the compost and monitors its health using sensors to track and analyse it and send real-time data to a custom-built smartphone app.

Users are sent instructions, via the app, on when to turn the compost, add water and carbon such as leaves and straw and take any other steps they should take including advice to overcome pests and odours.

“Composting is incredibly simple and its impact is significant,” Ashley said.

“It literally sequesters carbon emissions from the atmosphere and absorbs it into the ground.

“This, combined with the food waste we put into the bin, restores the health of soil.

“It’s our best natural carbon sink.”

After testing of the prototype the Monty Compost Co team spent the past nine months making improvements to the device, with the probe now ready for mass production.

“What we’re doing is something completely different to how compost is currently thought about,” Ashley said.

“There’s three billion tonnes of organic waste rotting in landfills, spewing out emissions.

“We have almost eight billion people that we need to feed and a planet that is warming by the day.

“We have a solution in front of us and that is compost.”

About a year ago Al Fullerton arrived in Noosa from Melbourne after being based in Hong Kong for five to six years and working in the renewable and sustainability space across Asia. In Noosa he based himself at the digital hub, where he met Ashley.

Al said finding investors involved aligning the goals of a business with the values of individual investors.

Ashley Baxter and Al Fullerton He said Covid shone a light on food security.

People have become more interested in knowing where they food comes from and in growing their own food so using waste to produce compost was a natural progression, but composting was a bit dirty and no-one understood it.

Al said the sleek design of the Monty, the simplicity of the device made it appealing with far reaching possibilities.“It means you know the ingredients of your compost. You can sequester carbon and you can calculate the carbon sequestered in whole neighbourhoods,” he said.

“It’s incredible and no one was doing it in the space.”

Finding investors in Australia, a country traditionally accustomed to putting their money in property, is not as easy as places like the US but food and agriculture was an area that resonated with Australians, Al said.

“People get it. They love agriculture, love produce, love the underdog. Food and agriculture is going to be here tomorrow.”

Al said Mandalay Funds Management was thrilled to welcome another incredible Aussie

Monty smart compost device agrifood tech startup to their portfolio, and to support Ashley and the team along their exciting journey.

Their aim is to see a Monty being used in every household and business compost bin in the world.

Mystery lorikeet illness

By Margaret Maccoll The University of Sydney has called on wildlife rescue group, WILVOS to help them find out what is causing an illness that is paralysing rainbow lorikeets across south east Queensland including Noosa and north east New South Wales.

Wilvos president Sylvia Whiting said the group had cared for lorikeets with the Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome (LPS) for a few years but last year was the worst with birds being brought to them “in their dozens“.She said they hadn’t received any affected lorikeets so far this year but in previous years they had been affected toward the end of the year.

Sylvia said their wildlife carers have had to look after the birds in an intensive care-like situation with the affected birds unable to help themselves.

“Their legs just sit behind them. They can’t move them at all. They can’t lift their heads.

They can swallow“ she said.

Sylvia said the birds have to be hand fed, positioned safely and cleaned, and given pain relief.

After a few days they begin to regain movement and within 10 days to two weeks they return to normal, she said.

“They usually come good,“ she said.

Some birds, sadly, that were not brought into care soon enough, had become weakened, the illness had affected their organs and they had to be euthanised.

The university has created a citizen science project on iNaturalist and is asking people to help in identifying the cause of LPS that is bringing thousands of rainbow lorikeets into care

each year. As the result of their recent studies, they are exploring the possibility that LPS may be caused by the ingestion of a toxic plant that occurs in southern QLD and northern NSW. Using iNaturalist participants within the study area are being asked to report on what plant species/food sources the rainbow lorikeets are observed feeding on to help them to identify what plants or other food sources researchers should sample and test in further studies.

More information on the research can be found at sydney.edu.au/science/our-research/research-areas/veterinary-science/ lorikeet-paralysis-syndrome-project.html The link to the LPS project on iNaturalist is at inaturalist.org/projects/lorikeet-paralysissyndrome-project

Environmental projects boosted by Council grants With a sleek new design and public education, Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) in collaboration with Ozfish, plan to influence recreational fishers to dispose of their waste in environmentally-friendly ways and install new fishing line bins in which to do it.

“The new purpose-built bins will be more aesthetically pleasing and have a narrow top for fishing waste and not the things like cans and nappies that people have put in them,“ NICA president Bruce Hallett said.

Bruce said the new bins would replace the 30 existing fishing line bins that were installed from 2004-10.

Noosa Council will provide funding of $11,670 toward the project, titled A Line in the Sand, which also comprises a public

chures to be made available at fishing gear hire outlets.

The project is one of a host of local initiatives to share in $73,000 council funding in the latest round of Environmental Projects and Alliance Grants.

NICA also received $15,000 funding toward its ongoing efforts to report on the threatened migratory shorebirds that visit Noosa River and improve their long term survival.

Bruce said NICA had been researching the shorebirds for the past 14 years and had recently completed a report, available on their website. He said the funding for the latest project, titled Into the Flyosphere, would be stage three of the conservation roadmap intended to improve long term survival of the shorebirds.

In addition to ongoing surveys, the project plans to replace a vandalised telescope at the mouth of the river and made freely available to the public, create signage to inform people of the importance of the birds to the Noosa river, encourage people to protect the birds, and not allow their dogs to chase them.

Councillor Brian Stockwell said all of the funded projects supported council’s Environment Strategy and offered significant environmental benefits.

A Hinterland Bush Links program in which volunteers engage the wider community to help restore local habitat on public and private land has secured a $23,000 boost, while Wildlife Noosa has also secured funding.

Sharing our local history

By Phil Jarratt As a journalist and a historian, I just love it when a little piece of history given some air on these pages resonates with the community and uncovers people who can expand the story.

Two weeks ago on this page we published a photo supplied by reader Matt Patrick on behalf of his father Denis, who was a junior member of a team of life savers who caught a killer shark off the Noosa bar in the early 1950s, and wondered whether anyone could help identify the shark catchers. The picture gets another run here, with Denis extreme left, because reader, Col Mills, knew quite a bit about the crew.

Col wrote: “I was a member of the Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club from 1955 until 1962 and am still a member of the Noosa Old Boys Society, the Noosa ‘NOBS’. Those I can recognise in the photo are, second from left Les ‘Ranga-Tang’ McGuiness; fourth from left, Bert Hayter, holding the shark fin; and on his right Bevan Fleming. Ken Clarey is on the extreme right and next to Ken is Max Krough. Les, Bert, Bevan and Max were all Gympie boys and Ken Clarey is the son of a Tewantin fishing family and the one in charge of the shark catching crew. Les, Bevan and Max are deceased, Bert lives in Brisbane and Ken lives at Tin Can Bay.” Meanwhile, rather than give $10 to Australia Post to deliver a book around the corner, I’ve been having a great time personally delivering signed copies of Place of Shadows around the shire. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet people with a similar passion for our

Shark capture, early 1950s. history, and can frequently add to my knowledge of it.

So far I’ve uncovered several family stories I was only vaguely aware of, or perhaps not aware of at all, and I thank all of those who have invited me into their homes for a chat.

The fun part of history is in the sharing of stories, and Councillor Tom Wegener and I have been cooking up a plan to do more of that in a semi-organised way, visiting the outposts of the shire starting towards the end of next month. More details about that in weeks to come.

And today, 30 July, we officially launch Place of Shadows at Harbour Wine Bar, Noosa Marina. It’s a sell-out, but there’s plenty of space available on the footpath at Annie’s Books in Peregian Beach on 18 August. Watch this space.

‘A GRIPPING READ WITH A DEEPLY FELT MORAL HEART.’

Local business has nod of Royal endorsement If you had told local couple Nikki and Rupert Rowe they would one day own a rug shop selling products endorsed by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, they would have been pretty surprised.

The couple met working on superyachts in the Med and Caribbean, but when it was time to settle down and start a family, they knew exactly where they wanted to be back home in beautiful Noosa.

They also knew that whatever they did next, it would have to have a positive impact on the planet, as well as being ethical. Their passion for rustic antiques lead them to start a business importing vintage furniture from Europe to Noosa. What happened next was pure serendipity. On a business trip to the UK to source antiques, they decided to branch out into eco-friendly, ethical homewares to complement their furniture range. That’s when they spotted Weaver Green; a UK company revolutionising the textile industry by crafting soft rugs, blankets and soft furnishings out of recycled plastic bottles.

It was immediately apparent this was the business they had been searching for.

Not only was the product environmentallyfriendly, ethically-made, and drop-dead gorgeous to boot, it was incredibly wellsuited to Australian conditions and lifestyle as Weaver Green products can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Weaver Green was going from strength to strength in the UK with heavy media coverage, a commendation at the Chelsea Flower Show, and most recently, the UK showroom was opened by the Duchess of Cornwall, who has numerous Weaver Green products in her and Prince Charles’ home!

Noosa couple Nikki and Rupert Rowe own a rug shop selling products endorsed by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Nikki and Rupert instantly knew: this product had to come to Australia. They met with Weaver Green’s owners in the UK, struck up an immediate rapport, and pivoted their business completely to become Australia’s sole distributor of Weaver Green products.

So not only is this Noosaville business the only place in Australia you can buy Weaver Green products, but it’s also an ethical, environmentally-friendly business run by a local family.

Drop by and say hi to Nikki and Rupert, and find out what’s got the Duchess so excited.

Change grows at school Future generations are set to benefit from Cooran State School’s growing kitchen garden, thanks to a Seeds for Change grant.

The school has welcomed The Living Classroom Project into the school which teaches students the practices of permaculture, paddock to plate food production, zero emissions, sustainability, waste management and cooking/hospitality skills.

Each week students from Years 2 and 4 work within the garden, building, growing, and developing what is to become a magnificent school garden for generations to come.

The students were highly involved with the design of the garden and where it should be situated within the school grounds to ensure successful production of crops and sustainability of the gardens.

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton recognises the importance of this learning for the current gen-

Ms Bolton awarded Cooran State School with a Seeds for Change grant which has al-

lowed them to purchase implements needed, including wheels, for their new kitchen garden.

“I am thrilled that we could assist with this wonderful project as they expand their permaculture produce with upcoming food tree groves and a new kitchen/tuck shop to prepare fabulous lunches from what they nurture,“ Ms Bolton said.

“Seeing the joy in the kids’ faces as they explained to me how they have designed the garden to capture the morning sun was pure magic.

“This really is what these grants are all about. Planting little seeds of change which yield positive, healthy futures for our children and grandchildren.

“Their knowledge on swales and medicinal benefits of plants was incredible.

“I can’t wait to come back to enjoy a ‘garden

to plate’ session, and even try some of those healing plants.”

Through the grant program the school received $500 which was spent on garden tools from local family business, Pomona True Value Hardware, who are fantastic supporters of the school and local community.

Cooran State School thanked Ms Bolton and the Seed for Change grants program for their contribution towards their garden project.

Leading on from the garden, the school is set to get a new purpose-built kitchen/tuckshop late-2021 into 2022. This new kitchen/ tuckshop will be where the students can learn the culinary side of producing their own produce.

Students learn lessons on racism and bullying the only “student of colour” in a large allboys’ Brisbane private school.

Mr Charlton spoke to the students about his struggles with his identity and bullying at school.

“I told the kids at my school that I was Indian, because there were so many negative connotations associated with being Aboriginal,” Mr Charlton said.

Endemic racism in Australia was discussed, and Mr Charlton encouraged the students to consider ways to mitigate racist stereotypes and prejudice.

“I wish I could have been a proud Aboriginal as a kid, instead of carrying around a lot of shame and hiding who I am,” Mr Charlton said.

Year 12 student Luca Thomas enjoyed learning from Mr Charlton.

“Kajal is such an interesting guy who has a real knack for engaging and empowering those who are Indigenous as well as those who are not,” Luca said.

The students look forward to showcasing their new understandings of Aboriginal culture and identity through their cultural event this term.

The all new S-Class.

Noosa District State High School Year 12 Social and Community Studies students have been delving into very important, topical Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues this term, whilst considering a cultural event that showcases art as activism.

Alive’s funding promise

By Margaret Maccoll Mayor Clare Stewart concluded the NOOSA alive! festival on Saturday by promising to advocate for extra funding to support the wonderful arts festival established by David and Kristin Williamson and friends 20 years ago.

“I will be advocating strongly for increased funding support from Noosa Council for next year’s event. Further support of our cultural and arts sector is key and I stand firmly with NOOSA alive! in my commitment to advocate for more funding from council,” she said.

“With the challenges of Covid, border closures and the region struggling with the loss of tourists, it was fantastic to see world class performers playing to sold out shows over the 10 day festival and I intend to give NOOSA alive! extra support to ensure 2022 and beyond is even more successful than this year’s event.

“There were more than 20 live performances with over 6000 people attending the sold out events. I was lucky enough to attend the Trent Dalton literary event in March as well as three of the shows in July and had friends and council colleagues attend other events. The events are world class. NOOSA alive! brought laughter, tears, happiness and much needed joy to the community and I believe Noosa Council can do more to help them with their wonderful festival.”

NOOSA alive! president Andrew Stafford said he couldn’t have been happier with the outcome of this year’s festival and to have Mayor Stewart’s support and hope that this fi-

nally results in increased funding from Noosa Council.

“Extra funding allows us to expand the festival and take pressure off our not for profit entity and the volunteers that sit on our committee,” he said.

“We have always had a strong arts following and the support of patrons and corporate sponsors has enabled us to scrape by year on year. Support from Noosa Council will be invaluable for us in ensuring the 20th anniversary next year is a massive success.”

The world of arts and culture is alive and buzzing in Noosa after a 20-year strong NOOSA alive! performed their way through the 10day arts and cultural festival with more than 20 live performances and more than 6000 tickets, showcasing artists who were grateful to perform their craft after a difficult 18 months for the industry. Noosa Alive was started in 2002

by David Williamson AO, his beautiful wife Kristin Williamson and a group of friends and has been wonderfully supported by the community ever since.

“The festival captured the best of Noosa with events on the beach, jazz in Noosa Woods, comedy, Queensland Ballet, Cirque Bon Bon at the J and Up for Grabs at Noosa Arts amongst many others, it was just a wonderful event.

2022 promises so much. More than ever we need to stay connected and the NOOSA alive! program gives all ages the ability to meet, interact and feel,” Mr Stafford said. Visit noosaalive.com.au for further information.

The Hotseat Phil Jarratt

More than “just a jock” In the second part of PHIL JARRATT’s interview, Noosa Council’s new Director for Infrastructure Services, former Olympian Larry Sengstock, describes how he applied lessons learnt in sport to the boardroom during a highly successful business and administrative career.

You played your last top-level basketball in 1996. Did you get the tap on the shoulder or did you just know when to go?

You just know. I had a bulging disc in my back that made it difficult to keep in top form, and also you had to think about your career because there just wasn’t enough money in the game to retire on.

Did you already have your degrees in business administration and education at that point?

Well, you had to have a career other than basketball, so when I first went to Melbourne to play I also studied, and did my Education Degree there. Then when I was playing for the Brisbane Bullets I did my Diploma of Education, and later when I was working on the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, I did my MBA as a 40-year-old, I guess to prove that I wasn’t just a jock holding down a job for the boys. I tried to build my skills as I went, and while I was still playing for the North Melbourne Giants I became their marketing manager.

By the time I left the game I’d worked in education, coaching, marketing and media, and was looking at how to use all of them, but I took a step backwards and went into government, then put my hand up for the role of deputy CEO of the Melbourne Commonwealth Games bid, running the operational side of it where would we play the sports, what would we need. That was a huge learning curve for me, as it is for a lot of athletes when they come out of our protective world. Fortunately, I have the mindset to address those issues. My two brothers are engineers, and I’m wired the same way, just went down a different path.

By then you were in middle age, so was it difficult at that stage for an adored elite athlete to walk into a series of bloody boardroom battles?

It is hard, and you’re battling against people who have had similar education but are a lot younger, but I was able to utilise my sporting career through the networks I’d developed in Melbourne.

Were you able to apply the life lessons you got from sport to the business world?

When I played I was big on people playing their roles, so I certainly applied that. Early on I was a scorer and the star of the team. By the time I finished I was playing the roles of defender and rebounder, getting the ball to the right people so they could score. That’s what the game teaches you, and business is no different.

Is it about parking your ego?

Absolutely, and it applies equally in sport and business, where sometimes it’s harder.

[Laughs] But you can soon pick those people.

You know when they can back it up.

In 2009 you became CEO of Basketball Australia and the NBL. Was that the dream job?

Not as it turned out.

That was my next question. On the rebound from having been smashed at the 2011 election, former NSW premier Kristina Keneally is appointed chair of BA and NBL. A few months later you quit suddenly after only three years in the job. What happened?

It was a tough gig. [Laughs] It was a total change in how the game was managed. The NBL had been privately owned and run, and it was struggling. In every other form of the game we were strong, but people looked at the NBL and saw problems, so the Australian Sports Commission brought BA and the NBL together and put an independent board across the top and a new CEO to run it. That was my job, to implement that structure, and politically it was difficult. I was worn out so I stepped away.

Into the quiet pastures of local government?

After the Commonwealth Games in 2006 I 18 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 July, 2021

Larry (right) with then Basketball Australia chair Kristina Keneally (left). went into consulting and did a lot of work around the world in sports management and facilities, so after the BA job I returned to that and was doing a lot of work in the Latrobe Valley. With the closure of the Hazelwood power station (in 2016), the state government needed to inject a new stimulus into the Valley, and part of that was the building of new facilities, so that was my job - $85 million of aquatic centre, basketball stadium, synthetic soccer pitches, football stadiums, a whole range of things.

The Latrobe City Council was given the money, so my group went in to work with them. While I was doing that, the role of general manager was vacated, so I took that on too.

Is director for Infrastructure Services at Noosa Council a similar role?

Very much so, although as GM at Latrobe [City] I had waste and environment as well.

Here, the capital works program we’re going to deliver is huge, but it’s mainly roads and bridges, some of them $10 million ones, but a lot of it is tied up with stimulus packages and is just good, sensible long-term stuff. Working in local government has its challenges, but it’s also fun because you’re at the coalface, you see things getting done. I like that.

What are the biggest challenges facing Noosa?

I’m just five weeks into the role, but the more I get into it, the more I realise that the challenge is how to deliver change without destroying paradise. We’ve done a great job of it to date, but the pressures have been increased through Covid with more and more people coming here. We’re not on a growth spiral like our neighbours, so here the issue is containment.

We have the same number of ratepayers but a huge number of people coming through and more demand placed on our services. “Different by nature” is the position we’ve taken, and we have to look after that.

The CEO retires in February. Are you going to put your hat in the ring?

Haven’t even thought about it, and I accepted the job before that was announced. I’m really comfortable with what I’m doing right now.

For me to be able to bring all the skills I’ve learned back home to Noosa is very satisfying.

E-scooters arrive Zero Emissions Noosa representative Vivien Griffin was on hand last week at Noosa Lakes to welcome Oggy E-Scooters to Noosa.

“These electric scooters are another fun way to get around in Noosa,” she said. “They have taken off in many cities around the world, so it is great that we now have these green machines here. They are electric, so no carbon emissions from trips, parking is not a problem and Noosa’s great pathway network provides a natural fit to give the scooters a go. We think the scooters can become a terrific addition to the sustainable tourism mix for Noosa.”

Director Kate Ogg said Oggy E-Scooters was a Sunshine Coast-based, family-run business aiming to change the way we travel over short to medium distances.

“We want people to ride Oggy rather than get all hot and bothered in their cars, and be able to visit all the fabulous sites the Coast has to offer,” she said. “Right now we have hubs at Noosa Lakes and Noosa Blue, but we plan to expand our hubs in Noosa, just as we have done in Mooloolaba.”

Kate emphasised the company had taken on board the lessons from other cities and had

developed a system to ensure that scooters were left at official hubs and not abandoned just anywhere.

“We want to make sure that our scooter riders are courteous and considerate of other pathway users,” she said. “Oggys can travel up to 25 kilometres per hour but will have restricted speed limits in high traffic areas. When you ride Oggy into one of these areas, the scooter will automatically throttle down. If you ride out of our service area, the Oggy will throttle off, and you may be required to walk a short distance back into the service area.”

Vivien Griffin and Kate Ogg at the Noosa Lakes E-scooter station. Picture: SUPPLIED Vivien Griffin said Oggy E-Scooters had come along to the 2021 Noosa EV Expo, and it was great that they were now expanding their business to Noosa.

“ZEN’s goal is net zero greenhouse gas emissions in Noosa by 2026 so we have to tackle transport emissions as well as electricity. EScooters are a great example where doing the right thing is also great fun!”

Government grants to keep waterways litter-free The State Government rolled out $1 million in grants to help community groups across the state including a few in Noosa to keep local waters litter-free.

Environment and Great Barrier Reef Minister Meaghan Scanlon said while most people did the right thing, it only took a small amount of rubbish to have a huge ripple effect on local ecosystems.

“The grants will give community groups, universities and organisations the funding power they need to clean up litter hotspots, roll out the latest waste-catching technology and educate the community,“ she said.

There were several successful applicants for this round of the CSA - Litter and Marine De-

bris Clean Up and Prevention Projects grants.

Positive Change For Marine Life Limited $50,000 to reduce cigarette butt litter in seven key hotspots on the Sunshine Coast by creating signage and bin infrastructure, creating education programs, and performing community surveys, data collection, analysis and reporting.

University Of The Sunshine Coast - $50,000 to coordinate volunteers to map debris along 50km of coastline from Caloundra to Sunshine Beach through large-scale debris collection campaigns. Workshops will be held with the local community at the project’s conclusion.

“Count and Sort” days will occur, and data will be entered into the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) database.

Ozfish Unlimited Limited - $49,820 to educate recreational fishers and the broader community of solutions to reverse the litter trend of fishers in south-east Queensland local waterways. Activities will include installing 29 Rig Recycle stations and 30 tangle bins. This project will also conduct six “Wasted-Waterways” clean up events and a “Know your knots” fisher engagement campaign.

Reef Check Foundation Limited - $48,000 to coordinate 24 clean up events at 10 key locations from the Gold Coast to the Whitsundays, above and below the water, engaging schools, community volunteers and trained divers. All data will be entered into the AMDI database.

Noosa Integrated Catchment Association Inc - $47,450 to coordinate 12 clean up events

on the riparian zone of Tewantin and Noosaville, and conduct four information sessions and workshop with local residents, community groups and schools with the aim enlisting more than 400 volunteers. Each clean up will involve a “Count and Sort” and data will be uploaded to the AMDI database.

Tourism Noosa Ltd - $39,500 to employ a Sustainable Events Officer for 12 months to work in Noosa events to monitor and encourage a reduction in plastic use.

Sea Shepherd Australia Limited - $30,650 to hold a 13-week long marine debris roadshow conducting 16 community educational outreach and clean ups across key beach and river locations in south-east Queensland. Data will be uploaded to the AMDI database.

Remembering the Centaur A new book by Wide Bay author Tony Matthews reveals what it was like for the survivors of the Australian hospital ship Centaur after it had been torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1943 and sunk about 80km north-east of Brisbane.

Sea Monsters, Savage Submarine Commanders of World War Two, includes a detailed chapter not only on the life of Hajime Nakagawa, the submarine commander who sank the vessel, killing 268 people including doctors, nurses and orderlies, but also reveals what it was like for those few who survived; told intimately through the eyes of the survivors themselves.

The release of a new book by Tony Matthews is always an event keenly anticipated by those who love history, and Tony’s new publication lives up to the promise of an intriguing and beautifully-crafted read.

Every event described in the book occurred exactly as portrayed and the author has gone to considerable lengths to ensure accuracy.

For example, in the chapter dealing with the illegal sinking of the Australian hospital ship Centaur in 1943, the author was able to interview almost every survivor who was alive in 1993 at the time of the 50th anniversary of the event. These priceless interviews now give the reader an intense and realistic, almost minuteby-minute, description of what actually happened aboard the Centaur after it had been torpedoed. Indeed, the sinking of the Centaur was a personal tragedy for the author’s wife, Lensie Matthews, whose uncle, Private Percy Clegg, was killed when the ship went down.

Undersea warfare is one of the most sinister forms of military activity ever devised; secretive, silent and all but invisible. It allows for the implementation of the most devious and insidious methods of human destruction ever utilised in war. Its very ability to wreak such massive damage from the shadows sometimes attracted men who enjoyed the anonymity allowed them by the cloak of the sea; the veil of deep concealment. Yet that very anonymity also gave submarine commanders the ability to hide from the repercussions of their horrendous activities. They were sea-demons, bringing death and destruction to everything they touched, and once the horror of their actions had been implemented they could simply slide under the waves to continue hunting their prey.

Sea Monsters is a book about some of the most ruthless submarine commanders of World War Two and the activities they undertook which resulted in the destruction of an uncountable number of lives. Some of the commanders were lauded after the war, awarded high military honours, while others finally came to understand that the perceived anonymity in which they had invested so heavily had now somehow evaporated and they were to pay heavily for their crimes; sometimes with their own lives.

Meticulously researched, this powerful publication drills down into the heart of the stories to reveal the true nature and previously hidden background to these events.

From the heart-rending account of the sinking of the German liner Wilhelm Gustloff in 1945, the worst maritime disaster in world history; through to a variety of other brutal actions carried out by numerous submarine commanders, this book reveals the awful truth of a secretive war that was responsible for the deaths

Dick Medcalf: “It was a worry all right. The sharks were there as far down as you could see and they never left us”.

Allan Pettiford later said: “We were looking forward to a very leisurely trip; we weren’t dreaming that we’d be hit by a torpedo”.

Tom Malcolm: “I went down under water and took some time ... coming to the surface, but having done that Sister Savage just popped up right between my arms”.

Radioman Bill Records who was onboard the USS Mugford rescue ship: “(The Centaur crew and medical staff were) just everyday people, wonderful people; ...innocent people who didn’t deserve to die — not that way... I was shocked.

I felt sorry for them. I still do”.

Historian Tony Matthews, author of Sea Monsters, Savage Submarine Commanders of WWII of unimaginable numbers of innocent people.

As usual, the author leaves no historical stones unturned in a deep and persistent search for the truth.

Sea Monsters; Savage Submarine Commanders of World War II is a carefully crafted and stunningly emotive history written with considerable passion by one of Australia’s leading war historians. Published by Big Sky Publishing, bigskypublishing.com.au, the book is available through all good book stores or online through Booktopia.

Robert ‘Bob’ Westwood Bob was the youngest person aboard the Centaur: “I decided to hold onto the rail for as long as possible and I actually didn’t let go until the water washed me off and by that time the ship was really vertical and I went down for a considerable time with the ship”.

Maurie Cairnie, (Fourth engineer): “The sudden blast of the torpedo came as a massive shock which literally blew Maurie off his bunk. (That night) I never saw another living person at all and through the darkness I could hear cries, but they were mainly female cries from the nurses...by the early hours of the morning it was dead quiet”.

Workshops to help students rise to new opportunities More students will have the opportunity to become budding film directors, with Noosa Film Academy set to receive $298,445 for a series of school workshops.

Academy award-winning film-maker Greg Huglin is visiting high schools to guide students through the scriptwriting, directing, acting and production process to create their own short films, with funding under the third batch of grants from the Morrison Government’s $200 million Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund.

“Greg Huglin has many artistic, creative and technical talents. He is highly regarded and recognised and this grant will enable more students to learn directly and benefit

from his expertise,” Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Llew O’Brien said.

“Noosa Film Academy is giving students an unparalleled opportunity to obtain firsthand experience using state-of-the-art cameras and movie equipment and present their own short films that can be used in their digital portfolios.

“This funding will provide critical support to the arts and entertainment sector to create new opportunities for growth, as well as enabling students to explore the possibilities in film-making and learn skills that are in demand in the modern workforce, from content

creation to digital storytelling and more.”

Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, Paul Fletcher said the latest RISE grants would begin to flow immediately to 66 organisations across Australia, supporting the arts and entertainment sector to restart, re-imagine or create new cultural and creative activities.

“The arts and entertainment sector is intrinsic to local communities in Wide Bay, supporting cultural expression and social wellbeing, and providing significant employment and economic benefits,” Minister Fletcher said.

“Our investment of $25 million towards

66 projects is our latest commitment to the rejuvenation and long-term sustainability of cultural and creative organisations throughout Wide Bay.” The investment towards these leading organisations is part of the $100 million the government has committed through the RISE Fund to date, which has created over 89,000 job opportunities and expanded cultural and creative experiences for audiences across Australia.

The Guide SUNDAY

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

BEAUTY AND THE GEEK NINE, 7pm

SUNDAY

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK 10 BOLD, 11.20pm

Pat (Bradley Cooper, left) is down on his luck to say the least. After spending time in a mental health facility, he’s living back with his parents (Jacki Weaver and Robert De Niro) and trying to get his life back on track. When he meets the equally messed up Tiffany (Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence), his clear plan to win back his wife gets complicated. To say this film is a mere romantic comedy is to do it a great disservice. It is sweet, yes, but also heartbreaking and with bitingly funny scenes.

TUESDAY

THE CHEAP SEATS TEN, 9pm

Comedians Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald, two of the cheekiest and cleverest panellists on Have You Been Paying Attention?, are breaking out on their own in this new comic current affairs offering. Produced by Working Dog, the team behind HYBPA? as well as The Panel, Frontline, Utopia and Thank God You’re Here, The Cheap Seats boasts a very promising pedigree. Taking a look back on the week in news – from major stories, entertainment and sport to viral videos, notso-major but amusing stories and anything to do with cats – Bracewell and McDonald promise to leave you in stitches with their unique view of the world.

FRIDAY

THE WRESTLER ABC TV PLUS, 8.30pm

Requiem for a Dream helmer Darren Aronofsky teams up with Mickey Rourke (above) for this highly acclaimed story of a washed-up wrestling star unable let go of the only thing he was ever any good at. Rourke is near flawless in his Golden Globe-winning turn as Randy “The Ram” Robinson. With his glory days long behind him, The Ram is barely scraping out a living working small shows and performing in dangerous matches for the bloodthirsty extreme-wrestling crowd.

Aronofsky presents an honest portrayal of an industry in which people will go to extreme lengths for a shot at fame and fortune, often with complete disregard for the damage they are doing to their bodies, lives and loved ones. A must-watch for any wrestling fan, past or present.

They say that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and the surprisingly strong connections between the geeky guys and gorgeous gals on this Lego Mastersmeets-Love Island reality series really have proven that. But let’s be honest, all viewers really want to see is what potential lurks behind the geeks’ Star Wars T-shirts and overgrown beards. As such, Nine have cleverly stretched the series’ makeovers over three Sunday night specials.

Tonight, the pairs take on a public challenge, providing the half-time entertainment at the footy, before host Sophie Monk reintroduces the remaining fellas to reveal their jaw-dropping physical transformations.

LETTERS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Hope For The River The most difficult and seemingly intractable issue concerning the Noosa River could soon be overcome. That being the inability of the community to fully enjoy use of the river caused largely by the uncontrolled number of boats lying permanently at anchor or on unofficial moorings. Hardly a week passes without more arriving. That coupled with the exponential growth of recreational fishing and other boating means that navigation on the river can be difficult, if not dangerous, especially at night. Other uses of the river are also degraded.

The formation of the Noosa River Stakeholders Committee with involvement of Maritime Safety Queensland and Noosa Council at senior levels means that, after decades of inaction, we may see positive progress.

That group will need to make some hard and, for some, possibly unpopular decisions.

As I see it, the only effective option appears to be the introduction of regulation, done elsewhere, prohibiting boats staying anchored on the river for more than a short number of days each year before having to move on unless at official registered moorings.

So, in case such rules were introduced, if you own one of these boats not on an official mooring, perhaps you should think about how you would go about removing it and if you are thinking about bringing in a new one, maybe you should think again.

No doubt there would be loud opposition from a minority of river users. The wider community need to support the Stakeholders Committee [or] else our ability to properly and safely enjoy use of the Noosa River will be lost.

Peter Newman, Noosaville

tions - capital strategy council. Capital. Good governance and leadership? Yes Mayor.

Julia Craddock, Sunshine Beach

Apply Good Governance

War on Virus

Mayor Stewart’s inexperience is noted (NT 23/7). Does she also struggle with basic comprehension and simple arithmetic? Allow me to assist. “Some” (STA in Medium Density Zones) does not mean “all”. And “predominantly residential” means mainly, i.e. more than 50 per cent. Mayor Stewart’s impassioned insistence on approving STAs in Medium Density Zones with more than 50 per cent STA, against staff recommendations; and in the face of residents’ objections, demonstrates a trenchant refusal to apply the Noosa Plan. Implementing provisions of the Plan, introduced in July 2020, is apparently in July 2021 - ‘making policy on the run’.

Mayor Stewart argues for ‘fairness and justice’ for absentee investors. And for residents Mayor, Councillors are concerned STA applicants will sue if refused. And what of residents who purchased residential properties in residential neighbourhoods and now find themselves living in commercial accommodation precincts with residential amenity and values trashed. Faced with a council actively advocating and voting against their interests; refusing to implement protections afforded in the Noosa Plan. Will they not sue? Are you confident council? Noosa is ripe for a class action by residents.

Sir Humphrey Appleby would be impressed by council’s “courageous” support of investors and utilisation of delaying tactics in the midst of a crisis. Stalling with an unnecessary review to confirm existing powers; and in the meantime approving yet more STA applica-

I don’t think anyone would disagree that we are experiencing World War III. I am referring to the virus which is attacking every nation and islands around the world.

Maybe this war will bring us all together and not one nation against another and we can then all live in peace.

Zero Emissions Olympics At a time when life as we know it is under threat throughout the world due to Covid and climate change, it’s encouraging to get the good news that Brisbane with the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast will be hosting the Olympics in 2032. Wouldn’t it be great if our state and federal governments also made it a Zero Emissions Olympics? Now that would really put Australia on the map.

Ingrid Jackson, Noosaville

Where’s the Compassion?

At the risk of ‘pushing the envelope’ in the hope of being heard two weeks in a row, I’d like to say a few words on the subject of compassion. There is a growing group of young people around the world, including Australia, that have NONE when it comes to the welfare of our more mature citizens.

Two cases in point are the anti-vaxxers marching both in Brisbane and Sydney yesterday re: lockdown grievances.

They are protesting against restrictions that prevent them from travelling interstate. Why? Simply because they believe they’re right and our state governments are wrong, and that Covid-19 and its variants are a conspiracy by world governments to manipulate and monitor their freedom to travel where and when they so choose.

These people do not think about the horrific consequences of their actions, including causing serious illness and possible death to loved ones, the elderly, and those that have on-going health issues with chronic disease. In fact, they’ve now proven they don’t give a rat’s ass about the collateral damage they are causing, and WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE, because they have little or no concept of compassion for older generations. They are driven by purely

selfish motives, angry that they should adhere to current protocols such as wearing masks and social distancing. These two protocols, in particular, cause massive anxiety in their world of social media. No one wears masks when interacting on the net....it would be the huge ‘BUZZKILL’ that would rip apart their world apart, real or perceived. How could I possibly know whether I’d like to meet someone without seeing their face with a mask on? They, perhaps unwittingly, are wanting to create a world now based totally on image. It is a world that almost virtually excludes older generations from their lives. Social media, computers, iPhones, etc are destroying our ability to interact in real time.

The art of conversation ‘face to face’ with peers and older family members is virtually extinct.

Compassion comes from a life lived that is inclusive of ALL ages, from a life that listens to both sides of the equation.

I don’t think this is happening.

To the young adults out there in our community fighting against vaccinations and lockdowns, learn that compassion and understanding for those that have gone before you are the keys that will get you results you seek... if you’re willing to listen.

Save Glossy Blacks

By Andrew Picone Despite being a conservation advocate and ecologist for over 20 years, I had only ever had a fleeting glimpse of the glossy black-cockatoo.

That is until my family and I joined Spencer and Maxine Hitchen at one of their streetside information sessions at Grasstree Court recently.

We were there to talk about the proposed aged care facility slated for an undeveloped block of land adjacent to Noosa National Park.

If it went ahead, they explained, it would result in the loss of a well known and long-documented feeding site for the glossy black-cockatoo.

It was here, standing on the roadside under a large black sheoak that we heard the distinctive calls of the ‘glossies’ as a group flew in from the west to settle and feed somewhere in the contested area.

As one of Australia’s rarest cockatoos, I was excited to see these delightful birds. Walking along the track within the adjacent national parks, we could hear the glossies talking to each other as they dispersed to feed amongst the sheoaks.

Why the glossies feed at this particular block of land is unclear. It’s likely a combination of factors that could include the age of the trees, soil moisture and nutrients, time since the last fire and many other things.

Up to 30 birds have been observed feeding on the land slated for development, indicating it must be important for the regional population.

Let that sink in. That’s a lot of threatened species to have at any site.

The subspecies that feeds regularly at Grasstree court, Calyptorhynchus lathami lathami is listed under Queensland’s Nature Conservation Act as vulnerable and has also been nominated for listing under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, Australia’s national environment law.

The 2019-20 fires were devastating for the glossy-black cockatoo. From Kangaroo Island to Peregian Springs, fires destroyed both feeding and nesting habitat and set back conservation efforts for the species nationally.

Although the development at Grasstree Court has been approved, and the Uniting Church has diligently sought to offset and mitigate impacts, the plight of the Glossy Blackcockatoo has only increased in urgency.

A key flaw in the approvals process under current planning and environment laws is the unwillingness to consider the cumulative impact of a number of individual projects on a population of threatened species across an area and over time. If we continue to assess each development proposal in a piecemeal way, we will be blind to the long-term impacts of incremental habitat loss from multiple proj-

ects. This will only contribute to an ongoing decline in Glossy Black-cockatoo numbers.

Between 2013 and 2018, approximately 1,024ha of remnant and natural regrowth forests were cleared in urban landscapes across Australia. Since 2000, approximately 881 hectares of threatened species habitat has been destroyed on the Sunshine Coast.

Deforestation for a variety of land uses is one of the most significant threats to Australia’s flora and fauna and is directly linked to the decline in many species.

The Glossy Black-cockatoo’s unenviable status as a threatened species means it is already on a trajectory towards extinction. Development of Grasstree Court is contrary to the Glossy Black-cockatoo Conservation Guidelines that established the protection of feeding habitat as a high priority.

Surely, in a UNESCO biosphere reserve, we can find an equitable solution that does not involve chopping down threatened species habitat.

As with all threatened species, unless threats like urban deforestation are addressed, extinction awaits.

On The Soapbox Councillor Amelia Lorentson

STAs are not the enemy We need to stop blaming and punishing mum and dad investors with mortgages, families and life plans who are providing short term visitor accommodation. They are not the enemy nor the reason we have a housing crisis.

The issues to do with STA are about management and control of STAs and these issues have always been there and are present in every tourist town.

Party houses are the issue, not STAs. There is no question that some holiday homes have a significant impact on the residential amenity, particularly the party houses, homes that accommodate large number of guests, those homes remotely managed and those poorly managed, without a local person for the action of guests or managing the property.

These types of STAs are destroying the culture and character of our neighbourhoods and community. And they must be stopped. Responsible management, limiting numbers of people in each home, enforcing noise restrictions, three strikes and you’re out. A Mandatory Code of Conduct with teeth.

Blaming STAs for depletion in housing supply as the only reason must stop and limiting the number of STAs will not solve the housing crisis. All it will do is risk severely damaging the tourist accommodation/tourism sector that is our primary employer and risk taking away employment from the very people we are trying to help.

We need to be honest with ourselves as a community and work together to achieve long term solutions that don’t pit one sector of our community against another. And that means accepting the truth that properties in a tourist town are never going to be affordable.

Limiting the number of STAs will not solve the housing crisis because the crisis is about different kinds of accommodation. It’s about affordable housing and social housing, and this is not a Noosa problem. It is an Australiawide problem and it is not within council’s remit to come up with a solution.

We must work together and demand that the government responsible for the issue steps up and works with housing providers committed to providing affordable safe and appropriate homes to community.

Council must look at planning options to facilitate ancillary dwelling units in appropriate locations, approving boarding houses/micro apartments, granny flats for unrelated parties and open up more land for pilot lower cost housing projects and duplexes.

Since Covid, Noosa has had the largest growth of inward migration from capitals among all the LGAs in Australia (49 per cent).

Record low interest rates, government stimulus and ‘the pandemic-driven stampede’ has resulted in rising prices and an unprecedented demand on housing availability.

Last week council resolved to work on data and empirical research to inform policy changes. An independent housing affordability study that requires council to provide short, medium and long-term options that are available to council to address the shortage of housing for our permanent residents. A report that meets with the Minister’s conditions which requires council to ‘monitor the planning scheme provisions for a two-year period relating to short term accommodation, tourism, housing supply, considering the outcomes sought across the residential zones.’ Policy options based on data and empirical research, and not on emotion and ideology.

The work has not been done (IMO) to substantiate any changes in policy relating to short term accommodation, including the economic impact that changes in relation to short term housing will have on the tourism industry, tourism economy and local employment.

As stakeholders the community are entitled to ask for proper analysis that includes an economic impact study. It would be negligent (IMO) to allow changes to occur to visitor accommodation (STAs) without proper consideration of the proposed changes. The eco-

Noosa councillor Amelia Lorentson nomic consequences to the tourism economy of Noosa needs to be considered and made public as tourist accommodation is vital to the Noosa economy.

The reality is that visitors spend more than locals, and a bed night keeps a whole range of people within the community employedchefs, waiters, cleaners, photographers, wedding celebrants, plumbers, electricians, handymen, to name a few.

This is a complex problem, there is no silver bullet and limiting STAs is NOT the answer.

Balance is required, both economic and social balance. This is a tourist town and it is a resident town. And the two are intrinsically linked and we cannot underestimate how important tourism is to the sustainability of our town’s economy.

Limiting STAs would (IMO) change the character and appeal of Noosa as a tourist destination and impact Noosa’s economy, jobs, visitor numbers, visitor spend and investor interest.

Major organisations likely to be impacted, including large employers like the Noosa Surf Club, industry participants such as all of the major real estate agents, restaurant owners

and retailers. All of who have made significant investments on the basis of a previously held confidence that this council supports an ongoing and viable tourism industry.

The Noosa Shire Corporate Plan states (theme 3) that council ‘will provide support for a sustainable tourism sector’ as one of its leading priorities and the Noosa Tourism Strategy aims to focus ‘value over volume by targeting high-yielding visitors, particularly from interstate and international markets’. It also aims to ‘identify, attract and nurture new worldclass experiences, events and accommodation options’.

So how can we support tourism strategy on one hand and then on the other hand destroy tourism opportunities by removing or reducing the number of holiday-let properties?

Let’s do the work, get the data and proper analysis. And let’s better understand what alternative approaches have been researched, presented and deliberated to deal with the real issue of housing affordability.

Let’s get that process right by correct terms of reference and by appointing the right independent consultant.

And let’s STOP blaming STAs for our hous-

ing crisis, otherwise we will end up throwing the baby out with the bath water.

My position on STAs: I do NOT support unregulated STAs and I do NOT support party houses. I support a strict Mandatory Code of Conduct for STAs. I support the Noosa Plan that states the STAs are a land use and not an impact. I support council’s STA guide that states: “where short term accommodation is identified as consistent in the zone, it is generally considered an appropriate use in the zone, providing it can operate in a manner that does not adversely impact on its surroundings and the residential amenity enjoyed by permanent residents’.

I support Noosa Shire’s Corporate Plan that states that council ‘will provide support for a sustainable tourism sector’ as one of its leading priorities.

And I support working together with councillors and community to achieve long term solutions that don’t pit one sector of our community against another.

Old age in a new age

By Erle Levey Australia’s population is ageing.. fast. And it affects us all.

This century we will see the possibility of six generations living together at the same time.

Medical science and healthy, active lifestyles will play a big part in people living longer.

Reaching 100 years of age will no longer be extraordinary.

By 2030 there will be more of us aged 65 and over than 14 years and under.

That will impact how we live, where we live and the way we fit in the community.

As baby boomers and Generation X enter older adulthood, our expectations of how we are going to live in a community will change.

The Sunshine Coast Business Council’s Ageing in Place conference explored ageing trends and solutions that are providing people with greater choice about how they can approach and enjoy their older life.

The conference was held at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), which plays a major role in training nurses and allied health care professionals for the future.

Guest speakers included Urbis director Kate Meyrick, University of Queensland Professor Laurie Buys, and USC vice chancellor and president, Professor Helen Bartlett.

Fittingly, Kate Meyrick was joined on stage by her mother Jan Meyrick who had a career teaching human development to young students going to work in the care field.

Jan was recognised for her work in aged care during her retirement with an award to enable a personal world study tour to see what facilities were available.

Business council chair Sandy Zubrinich said people were not only living longer, their expectations of how they enjoyed their retirement years were changing.

“Whether they choose to stay in their own homes longer or are attracted to retirement living or similar environments, what is important is having a choice.

“And while there are pressures on service providers, medical services and the government, now is the time to rise above the current debate, question the fundamentals and find new ways to meet the challenges of ageing and keep people longer in place, in community, in health, in prosperity and importantly - in life.’’

Old Age In The New Age was the focus of Kate and Jan Meyrick’s presentation.

This was a first for mother and daughter to be presenting on the same stage although they have been a part of each other’s lives for 55 years.

“She felt invisible yet she has such insight,’’ Kate said of her mother. “She is talking from experience.

“When talking about care in our own homes, and in retirement in our community, it’s a matter of challenging our perceptions ... not just society’s perceptions but our perceptions of ourselves, as older Australians.

“The important thing is age does really matter. It’s such a binary thing - you’re either young or you’re old - but some are born old and others die young at heart.

“Ultimately we are all people.

“The most important thing about designing a home, an experience, a neighbourhood or a city is we are designing for people.

“By 2060 there will be more than eight million aged people in Australia, so you really do need to get to know us.

“We need to consider how we move around, given we will not be car-driven.

“We will need lots more public transport and walkable solutions to make sure older people are able to remain active in their own community.

“They will be staying in their own homes longer, so it is very important to understand what types of homes they want to live in and recognise there won’t be a one size fits all solution.

“Some will need a bit more care. Some will like to remain independent, but perhaps need a smaller home.

“How we accommodate these needs, ultimately where we live and the kind of communities we live in are human-centred ... and if we don’t understand that we cannot design for them.

30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 July, 2021

Kate Meyrick and Jan Meyrick. 245069 “If we are designing things older people don’t like there’s a really easy answer, they will vote with their feet and won’t use it.

“As baby boomers and Gen X are moving into retirement, we are not great at planning for it as we have put it off as long as possible.

“What we bring into retirement is a different way of life.

“Our aspirations for the next 35 years will be different from those of the previous generation.

“We are never too old to learn.’’

With this century likely to see six generations living at the same time instead of the four of the last century, the whole 100-year city needs to be friendly, Kate Meyrick said.

“When planning and designing cities and neighbourhoods for six generations to live in, we need to think differently.

“Think about how to activate the needs of those who will be living in it.

“This is not an option, not a passing phase.

“It is coming like the train down the line. It’s something we need to think about as they will be our cities we will grow old in.’’

Jan Meyrick was horrified by many of the aged care situations she encountered in her career and knew it was not the lifestyle she wanted when reaching that age.

So she set out to see what plans could be made.

One of the best models was in Deventer, Netherlands, which encouraged residents to use the skills you have or lose them.

It showed that happiness comes before care - that it was important to move away from medical and to an enabling model.

It was a different way of looking at aged care ... ordinary, not glamorous,’’ Jan Meyrick said.

“I thought a couple of hours and I would be out of there.

“But I was there 7.5 hours. It was the most fantastic place.

“It had autonomy, joyful living, and the township was involved.’’

University students who were hard up for accommodation, were invited to live with the aged community and become neighbours.

They were given free accommodation as long as they gave 30 hours a month to caring not hands-on care, apart from making a meal a week.

“They were brave and started with one student, now they have six living permanently.

“They could watch football together, cook with them, have parties.

“The footballers went in to use their gym, every person was respected.

“No-one was called darling, ducky or love ... they all use their names.

“They have dignity, they have respect... they have joy.

“There are coffee mornings and wine evenings when the community come in - a home-

work club for the young.

“Refugees can come in. Respite care is offered.

“It’s a centre for the community.

“Less physical support and more social engagement ... it was the most fantastic experience, all because they dared to be different.’’

Other case studies Jan Meyrick saw included Switzerland, where a group of women looked at what they want in older life.

They bought an old embroidery factory and converted it into 17 rooms for independent living. You buy a space but there are outdoor and communal areas.

So they are living alone, but together.

In the USA there was a small community with easily-built, moveable houses to give independence to the aged or disabled.

The idea was to have clusters of small modules with a service centre at the heart.

In California they are using university grounds for successful retirement communities... you buy into life and learning.

Students find it stabilising while the elderly can help them adapt to living away from home.

In South Australia they have built residential care within school grounds where residents can participate in classes and some great relationships can be formed.

Mudgereeba in Queensland has a facility with a farm on site. It operates alongside Southport School where young and old work together on the land which proves to be very therapeutic.

In Singapore, Kate Meyrick said, they are pioneering mixed generational living - whole family care communities with a market on the ground floor, then retail, professional, residential and care.

Homes for older homeless adults in Victoria grew out of homeless shelters.

“They provide affordable independent housing with support to get back on track,’’ she said. “Full or medium care, assisted living for food and medication.

“An outreach service to get them out of homelessness.

“How many have thought of that?’’

In line with Brisbane being announced the host city for the 2032 Olympic Games, Kate Meyrick said it would be fantastic to also say it was an age-friendly community.

It would be possible through eight goals: Lives in a safe and pleasant environment.

Has access to a range of affordable, userfriendly transport services.

Has housing options that are affordable, accessible and close to transport and community services.

Is supported to be active in their community.

Is being inclusive and promote diversity.

Participates in employment, training, lifelong learning, volunteering and informing government policies.

Meeting the needs An expert in ageing, USC Vice Chancellor and President Professor Helen Bartlett said many years of research across the UK, Australia and Asia produced a number of reoccurring themes.

“These include the importance of changing the models of aged care to focus more on enabling people to stay at home or in their community of choice for as long as possible and planning to facilitate timely support packages to prevent premature entry to residential care.

“Baby boomers are seeking different options for their later life living and care choices, so there is a need for more innovative solutions to meet the needs and expectations of the next older generation.

“And lastly, active/healthy ageing education, interventions and opportunities can help prevent or slow many age-related diseases and should be pursued through partnership approaches by local government, health services and community organisations.

“Given the Sunshine Coast’s ageing population will continue increasing from the current level of 20.9 per cent being over 65, with the largest population growth being in those aged 75 years and over, we need to prepare for the potential impact this will have on our region.

“The challenges we face include a greater pressure on our health and medical services.

“This is due to a higher prevalence of chronic health and medical conditions such as dementia, coronary heart disease, diabetes, depression, anxiety and dementia; difficulty accessing health and medical services given the lack of public transport; skills shortages in aged care creating issues for quality and standards and more limited retirement living options.

“The Coast will remain popular as a retirement destination, while also continuing to attract business and innovation, as well as tourism.

“The challenge will be to meet the needs of this growing older population and ensuring that communities on the Coast are as agefriendly as possible, as well as providing older people with opportunities to contribute to the prosperity of the Coast community.

“Having worked in community care and seeing some of the challenges in health services planning for older people first hand, meant undertaking research into ageing and aged care was an appealing way for me to make a difference.

“We have an opportunity to prepare for this growth in ageing population by having the relevant plans in place to address the challenges, but this will require a collaborative approach across government, education and private enterprise to achieve the best outcomes.”

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

Olympics voice needed Well, what a week it’s been for South East Qld with the announcement that we will be hosting the 2032 Olympic Games. I was fortunate enough to be in Brisbane last Thursday at an Olympic lunch headlined by ‘our’ Dawn Fraser. When the televisions moved to a live cross to the Premier, the Brisbane Lord Mayor and International Committee Member John Coates AC the excitement in the room was palpable. The 2032 Games not only represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for South East Qld, they will enable the delivery of a huge amount of infrastructure to our region. The vision of the Olympics in Qld was first flagged at the 2015 Council of Mayors when 11 regional mayors and the Brisbane Lord Mayor came together with a united vision. Noosa wasn’t and hasn’t been a part of the SE Qld Council of Mayors since that time but with the Olympics ahead of us and with much to advocate for on behalf of our shire it may be time to revisit our position. To be involved, to advocate and speak up for our shire, we must have a voice at the table. This is an opportunity that should and cannot be missed.

Our ‘21/’22 budget had a big focus on supporting our community groups and I am proud to say that we have approved more than $160,000.00 for community groups, events and projects in the first Community Grants round of ‘21/’22 with sporting clubs among the biggest recipients this round. We have committed over $1million to our community groups this coming financial year so there will be a number of opportunities for clubs and community groups going forward to obtain funding from council. These groups do so much of the ‘heavy lifting’ in our community and it is an absolute thrill to be able to support them in some capacity- however great or small.

Our walking and cycling strategy was adopted two weeks ago and with this strategy in place we endeavour to create an environment that makes riding and walking convenient, safe and the preferred method of travelling around our beautiful ahire. Council’s ‘21/’22 capital works plan includes $12.8 million for a range of priority projects over the next two financial years. These include the installation of pathways as part of major projects such as the Noosa Parade Corridor Upgrade, Garth Prowd Bridge replacement and Beckmans Road Bypass Stage 1. The adoption of this strategy is a significant milestone in our commitment to address future congestion issues, reduce emissions and increase the uptake of active travel.

Speaking of infrastructure, Noosa Council is undertaking an inspection program to check the condition of our 250km stormwater pipe network. The contractor is using high-tech cameras to scan the network with the cameras looking for blockages and damage to the network. The cameras have ultra-high zoom lenses that can scan the length of the pipes and, in some cases, robotic tractor-mounted cameras are dropped into the pipes and they travel the length of the pipes to capture video.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart The full inspection will take about 18 months, but the data collected from the camera inspections helps us determine cleaning and maintenance/renewal priorities.

For any businesses out there, council is providing Noosa businesses with access to ASPIRE. ASPIRE is an online market-place where you can trade, exchange or sell unwanted waste items, such as paper and cardboard, construction and demolition waste, electronic waste and many other waste items. CSIRO and Data61 developed ASPIRE for businesses and

their councils who were seeking a solution to the ever-growing waste disposal costs. With council now part of the program, Noosa businesses with less than 100 staff can register for free. To find out more please head to our website noosa.qld.gov.au/aspire Finally, to end on a high note, council is delighted to receive $4 million from the 2021-24 South East Qld Community Stimulus Package toward brand-new infrastructure, maintenance and upgrades to existing community assets. Highlights include funding to freshen

up our museum, some of our community centres, upgrading our skate park, the renewal of furniture along Gympie Terrace and funds to freshen up park shelters and replace a range of barbecues around the shire. More than half a million dollars of this money will be used to build a number of ‘missing links’ in our pathway network as identified in our Walking and Cycling Strategy. As I always say, grassroots spending at its best.

Until next week, stay safe, Clare

Planning ahead for more Sunshine Motorway lanes Planning to duplicate a key section of the Sunshine Motorway has started.

A 10-kilometre link, from the David Low Way interchange to north of Yandina-Coolum Road, has been identified as a priority section for a future upgrade to accommodate population growth.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the preliminary evaluation was underway to double the motorway from two to four lanes.

“The Sunshine Motorway carries more than 30,000 vehicles each day between Maroochydore and communities like Noosa and Eumundi,” Mr Bailey said.

“With 88 per cent of net migration coming to Queensland in the next couple of years, we need to get the planning done now so we’re in a position to deliver this project when it’s needed.”

The State Government has allocated $1.75 million for duplication planning for the Sunshine Motorway, with consultancy firm SMEC recently awarded a contract to help deliver the preliminary evaluation.

Mr Bailey said improvements to the Yandina-Coolum Road roundabout and the School Road intersection would also be considered as part of the project.

“Planning will investigate any necessary

upgrades on the approaches to the intersection, including the existing roundabout at School Road east of the motorway,” he said.

Member for Nicklin Rob Skelton said it was an important step in supporting growing parts of the Sunshine Coast like Cooroy, Eumundi, and Yandina, and linking them with the business hub of Maroochydore.

“Additional lanes will improve safety and congestion, and mean locals and businesses who rely on the motorway will spend less time stuck in traffic, particularly during those peak commuting times,” Mr Skelton said.

“This is part of the Palaszczuk Government’s infrastructure pipeline on the Sun-

shine Coast, which includes more than $3.9 billion worth of jointly funded road and rail upgrades supporting thousands of jobs.

“We also know an active lifestyle is important to many people who live in the area or visit on holiday, so any future motorway upgrade will be designed to cater for people riding and walking.

“This initial planning phase needs to be completed first to identify a preferred option so a business case can be progressed.”

The preliminary evaluation is expected to be completed in late 2022, with key stakeholders and the local community to be consulted later this year.

Artists set to inspire

Acclaimed British singer-songwriter and poet Emily Maguire is performing a series of concerts with her band in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Music for the soul in the Hinterland Acclaimed British singer-songwriter and poet Emily Maguire is performing a series of concerts with her band in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in September.

A classically-trained multi-instrumentalist and composer with six albums and three books to her name, Emily is a contemporary folk artist who has toured Europe extensively with American legends Don McLean, Dr Hook and Eric Bibb. Described as ’music for the soul’ (Maverick Magazine), her songs have been used by Greenpeace and Hollywood, played on national ABC and BBC Radio, and performed in prisons and psychiatric hospitals as well as concert halls and theatres across the UK. Open about her struggles with bipolar disorder since publishing her first book Start Over

Again, Emily’s experience of mental health recovery and her practice of Buddhist meditation over the past 20 years have strongly influenced her songwriting.

With a remarkable, inspiring story to tell, she has been interviewed many times on national radio in the UK, most recently for her latest book of poetry Meditation Mind.

She is a patron of the UK mental health charity Restore and recently won an international award for public service and advocacy.

With a hauntingly beautiful voice and songs ’bathed in raw, emotional power’ (Guitarist Magazine), Emily’s live show is a moving and thought-provoking experience not to be missed. Featuring renowned local string players, sisters Sarah and Louise King, and Emily’s husband Christian Dunham on bass, Emily’s

Hinterland gigs will take place at Eudlo Hall (Saturday 11 September), Maleny Community Centre (Saturday 18 September) and The Majestic Theatre, Pomona (Saturday 25 September).

Recently relocated from the UK after 12 years away, Emily and Christian are delighted to be back on the family farm in the Obi Obi valley, the place where they released her debut album back in 2004 and used to finance their record label Shaktu Records by making goat’s cheese.

They are in the process of recording Emily’s seventh album which will be released later this year, together with her fourth book of poetry.

Tickets for Emily’s Hinterland shows are available from TryBooking through Emily’s website at emilymaguire.com

Three new exhibitions are set to inspire audiences at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery.

In the Carriage Room, April Greer, presents her exhibition Nature’s Beauties, A Whimsical Refuge.

Her style joyously blends realism from the natural world with vibrant abstract-ism, alluring textures and gentle, subtle symbolism.

April said, “Each painting begins with a thought, an inspiration born out of the beauty of everyday life.“ “From here I embark on a journey, paint brush in hand, music flowing, layers building. I hope that every painting tells a story, destined to enrich and nourish the observer’s mind.

“I believe art has the power to provide relief, capable of transforming the mind into positive ways of being.

“I aspire to offer the viewer a refuge, a moment of happiness in this ever changing and somewhat challenging world. I hope my art brightens up your day, your mind, your life.”

Nature’s Beauties, A Whimsical Refuge exhibition is in the Carriage Room 7 August to 2 September.

In the Banana Shed, Tia Carrigan will present her exhibition Colour Your World.

Tia’s work is contemporary, with an emphasis on abstract patterns, painted with an embodiment of movement and freedom.

Her exhibition is a celebration of diverse creative paths that have led the artist here today.

From fashion and textiles, to graphic design, to floristry and to painting.

A merging and expression of the bird life and flowers that feature in Tia’s florist and art studio gallery in Pomona.

Colour Your World exhibition is in the Banana Shed 31 July to 25 August.

There is always something new at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery, which is located at 10 Station Street, Pomona.

It is open everyday and has been supporting local artists for more than 20 years.

Artist April Greer will present her exhibition in the Carriage Room.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Bistro C.

Pictures: SUPPLIED

Sticky date pudding.

Perfect boardwalk lunch Trevor Pepys reviews Bistro C So someone said Sunday lunch, and Trev said, “How quickly!”

OK, OK, it was Trev talking to himself while he tore apart the archive boxes in his storage shed looking for some bizarre remnant of his dodgy past, but what he dragged up out of the gloom was a box of old local magazines (possibly the first of their kind) in which two beachfront restaurants stood out like beacons.

The first was Eduardo’s in the old Tingirana Arcade, just along from where Betty grilled her famous dollar burgers, and named after the famed Eddie the Fisherman, but owned and operated by Frenchman Jean-Luc and a powerhouse Lancashire lass named Lori Banks.

The second was just up the boardwalk at the newish On The Beach complex where, surprise, surprise, our Loz also reigned supreme, this time in partnership with the effervescent chef Di Heaney in a late-century styled bistro they modestly named Dilozo’s – get it?

Move forward a quarter century or so, the complex has changed, not to mention Hastings Street, but On The Beach still hosts the liveliest beachfront eatery in town, now and for many years known as Bistro C, and still owned and managed by the indefatigable Lori Banks, helped by a cast of thousands, including a dish pig or two distantly related to Trev.

We were meant to be a table of four, but Covid intervened – and don’t get Trev started on the selfish wanker super-spreaders who can’t don a mask or take a jab for the common good – so it was just Trev and the missus along for a late lunch on a perfect Sunday. But that was good because Trev had a lot to apologise for

12457459-LB33-20

Prawn tostada.

Pacific oysters.

following another appalling Friday night boys’ club at the Villa.

Possibly Bistro C has installed a floating wood floor to soften the acoustics since Trev’s last visit, but it is still bloody noisy. But it is noisy because everyone is having fun, including the staff, so if that’s a real complaint, park it. Big tables, big fun, birthdays, anniversaries,

early paroles, it’s all being celebrated. Trev ordered a couple of Ruggeri proseccos ($16 a glass) while he perused the sensibly small lunch menu. And one of Trev’s golden rules is that lunch with a view should be light, liquid and long, but easy to navigate.

We ordered half a dozen Pacific oysters ($23) to get things started, with a Mooloola-

ba Tiger Prawn Tostada ($32) right behind it.

With the help of a side of Tabasco, the freshlyshucked oysters came to life on the tongue, exciting even Trev’s jaded palate, and reducing the missus to a trembling mess. The prawn tostada was a fascinating combination of flavours, fresh, light and tangy, the only sour note being a $6.50 surcharge for an extra kingy on a share plate. Come on guys!

Next we opted to share a coconut chicken salad ($29) which of course required a fresh bottle to accompany. And here comes Trev’s usual wine whine. Although advertised on the Bistro C website, the $39 Bistro C house wines do not appear to exist. This is indeed a shame since the climb to the high 50’s is quite steep, but on a glorious sunny winter afternoon, staring at a lake-like Laguna Bay, was Trev going to complain? You bet he was, but he was hosed down quickly and agreed to accept that in the time of Covid there were more important issues, and also the Paringa Estate Mornington Peninsula pinot gris ($60) was spectacularly good, as was the chicken salad, dressed with Asian herbs, shredded wombok and tofu. Such a simple, elegant dish. It was a splendid lunch to share, light, tasty and interesting, so we capped it with a totally indulgent sticky date pudding ($16) with two share spoons, and it too was delicious.

The verdict: Bistro C gets its share of bad raps for slow or rude service etc, but over the years it has consistently delivered the goods in terms of quality food and a great dining experience. It continues to enchant, in a kind of fun, noisy way.

We certainly felt the cold snap this week with inland temps getting below 1C! For those of us on the coast, we got down to around 6C and, with westerly winds, made for cool daytime temps. A plus side of this is that there has been increased activity for the tailor anglers. The bigger currents and higher tides saw baitfish getting pushed in and the predators soon followed.

Offshore has been quieter, but those who know how to not target snapper and pearl perch have been finding deep water jewfish to well over a metre and smaller 5-6kg cobia on the prowl. These fish love big flesh baits like mullet and the cleaner waters around North Reef, Chardons Reef and Sunshine-wide have been the popular spots.

For those in shallower waters then Sunshine Reef always holds great sweetlip and tuskies.

This area holds large amounts of squire-size snapper so be sure you carry a release weight or use another way to get these smaller fish back down to the depths. Come in and check out our release weights and how they work to make your life easier and help look after the snapper fishery this season.

Keep an eye out if fishing the inshore shallower reefs like Halls or Jew Shoal as reports of baitfish getting smashed show that there could still be smaller tuna around. If you have lighter 15lb setups then light, 10 gram chrome slugs on similar poundage leader makes for a lot of fun on these smaller fish, most likely mac tuna.

Surf fishing has been producing a few tailor.

This week the cold snap and build up to the full moon saw beach fishing become more popular. The period after the sunset is often the best time of day to chase these fish. Fishing into the night is also popular as the full moon provides more than enough light for tailor to feed. Running two or three hook true turn gangs and a slab or fresh dead bait works wonders.

Freshwater saw an inundation of anglers to Borumba on the weekend for the annual Fish Headz Noosa comp. With more than 90 anglers on the water, it was certainly an interesting time. Most bass are reported to be deep so blades, spoons and spinnerbaits are going to be the go. The Hot Bite Spectre assists have been flying off the shelf so be sure to give these

Dave Morrison caught and released this 70cm flathead while on a Noosa River Fishing Safari. a try as they have a habit of catching deep and mid-water fish.

The Noosa River has produced some great fish this week with the cooler, cleaner waters.

Around the lower estuary especially Munna point and Munna bridge quality golden trevally and GT have been caught on prawn profile plastics and smaller grub style plastics in the 2-3.5” size range. Jigheads in 1/6th-1/8th #2/0 hook give the best presentation in conjunction with a lighter 6-8lb leader. Baits to use include whole whitebait and small pilchards rigged on 1/0 and 2/0 gang hooks.

In the ski run, a few school-sized jewfish have shown up and have been caught on a range of soft vibes and 3-4” sized plastics on 1/8th size jigheads. With soft vibes try using big lifts and short pauses to get the best action.

Samaki Vibelicious come rigged with quality decoy hooks and a great action which is sure to call in the fish.

Flathead have been on the bite around the river mouth and dog beach and up around the entrance of Lake Weyba. These bigger fish love a well presented soft plastic on 1/4oz jig head and a 3-4 inch paddle tail. Soft plastics to use include Keitech Easy Shiner and Zman Streakz curly tail in opening night colour both in 4 inch size.

Pin High Peter Owen

John’s body stays strong John Glennon, laughingly declaring that he’s got his doctor’s receptionist’s number on speed dial, reckons he’s had so much remedial work done on his body that his surgeon has a secure job for life.

He ticks off his list of prior ailments – a twolevel spinal fusion to relieve disabling back pain, emergency hospital treatment to combat life-threatening sepsis and, only last October, hip replacement surgery.

“Three months after the hip replacement I was feeling so good my wife and I went for a hiking holiday in Tasmania – the Cradle Mountain track,” he said. “You wouldn’t read about it – I stumbled and did my knee.”

You’d think with a body seemingly as suspect as his, the last place you’d expect to see John’s name is atop the winner’s list of a golf competition.

But John Glennon is nothing if not a fighter, and he’s making a habit of bouncing back.

Three weeks after going into septic shock two years ago, and being rushed to Nambour Hospital with a blood pressure reading of 78/36, John led the Noosa Springs masters team to pennants glory, winning his final match 7 and 6.

And on Wednesday he played an outstanding round of golf to score 40 stableford points and win the Noosa Springs’ club competition by two points.

“With all the trouble I’ve had, my golf game really went to pieces,” John explained.

“I knew I had to do something different, so I slowed everything down – my walk, my swing and my follow through,” he said. “I tried to keep it all under control, and I stopped trying to rotate as much as I used to do.”

It mightn’t work for somebody like Bryson deChambeau or Matthew Wolff, but it did the trick for John Glennon.

On Wednesday, every drive found the fairway, most of his approaches were on the green, and he even made a putt or two.

“I’ve got to admit it was a surprise – but a very happy one,” he said.

John, who’s lived at Noosa for the past seven years, is a relative newcomer to golf, having taken up the game in Brisbane only a decade ago.

Now, the 13-handicapper is looking forward to really hitting his straps on the golf course – particularly after he’s replaced his dodgy knee, a surgical process he’s already discussing with his doctor.

Noosa on the brink of 3 straight pennant titles With its top two players Toby Harding and George Giblett in fine form, Noosa soundly defeated long-time rival Mt Coolum 5.5 to 1.5 in Sunday’s A grade pennant semi-final, giving the club the chance for a rare three-peat in this weekend’s final at Gympie.

Just as it was in the semi-finals last year, Noosa was much too strong for Mt Coolum in the match played at Noosa Springs on Sunday.

Toby Harding (5 and 4), George Giblett (5 and 4), Sam Boulden (4 and 2), Alex Officer (2 and 1) and Ryan Mulder (5 and 4) all scored impressive wins for Noosa, with Cooper Clarke drawing with his young opponent Adam Van Dorsselaer, and Alex O’Brien going down to Zac Quirk 4 and 3.

The win gives Noosa the chance to win its third straight A grade final.

Like last year, Noosa’s opponent will be Headland, which pipped the favoured Maroochy River team 4-3.

In the Masters semi-final, played at Maroochy River, Noosa Springs beat Headland 4-3 to reach the final, where it will come up against Mt Coolum, which despatched Noosa 5.5-1.5.

Noosa Springs winners were Michael Mason (5 and 3), Simon Cotton (6 and 5), Andrew Tregaskis (4 and 3) and Marcus Dolby (5 and 4).

The B grade final will be contested by Mt Coolum and Peregian.

Sunday’s finals will be played at Gympie, with Masters competition beginning at 7.30am, followed by B grade (8.15am) and A grade (9am).

Take the wedge fit TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER Golf equipment has advanced dramatically over the past 10 years – from the ball, all the way to the driver and even down to your wedges.

The wedge family has doubled over the past 15-20 years with the introduction of the gap and lob wedges.

When I started playing golf, we had only two wedges - the pitching and the sand. It made life so much easier. Hit it high and out of the bunker with your sand wedge and hit it lower with your pitching wedge.

Not only do we now need to contend with two extra wedges with different lofts, we now also have to get our heads around different bounces and grinds.

What are they, you ask. Well, the bounce of the club is the angle of its base or sole and the grind is the shape of the head, which allows you to manipulate the club head into different positions to execute different shots, and to suit your swing action.

More bounce is ideal for fluffy sand and for golfers who take a larger divot than most. Less bounce is ideal for hard sand and a golfer who takes trim bacon strips for divots.

Wedges are more used by weekend golfers than professionals as they hit fewer greens in regulation and I strongly advise you visit your local PGA professional for a specialist wedge fitting.

You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes. Good golfing.

John Glennon back in top golfing form.

Cooroy Vets remember their history It’s 16 years since Cooroy opened its second nine holes, but many of the club’s old-timers distinctly remember how the course used to be played.

And even if those memories may fade, the Cooroy Veterans make sure the old nine-hole track is never entirely forgotten – at least for a couple of rounds a year.

Last Wednesday the Vets hosted the first round of the Foundation Members Old Course Challenge – a highly sought after competition that is decided by scores recorded on the course’s original nine holes.

They are holes one, two, three, four, five, six, 16, 17 and 18.

All golfers play an 18-hole stableford competition on the day, but separately record their scores for the nine old course holes on a second scorecard.

After the first round, Don Clelland led with 21 points, for which he won two bottles of wine. Mike Kent, Tony Kershaw and Rob Nash are only one point behind. The winner, after second round scores are added, receives an embroidered shirt, a dozen golf balls and a perpetual trophy.

As well as preserving a bit of club nostalgia, the Old Course Challenge, which was inaugurated in 2017, commemorates the efforts of foundation members Ed Otto and Lionel Willett.

And, fittingly, 94-year-old Lionel was front and centre on Wednesday, taking the nearestthe-pin trophy on the third hole – yes, one of the originals.

Sunshine Coast is game Sunshine Coast Council has welcomed the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) announcement that Brisbane has secured the rights to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Sunshine Coast will play an integral role in Brisbane 2032 and be home to four key venues and several sporting events during the Olympic Games, including football, basketball, marathon, mountain biking, cycling and kiteboarding.

The Sunshine Coast will also host multiple days of road-based events (marathon and road cycling) during the 2032 Paralympic Games.

Community members from across the Sunshine Coast have been celebrating the livestream announcement from Tokyo at Kings Beach Amphitheatre, at Olympics Live presented by Westpac and hosted by council.

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the IOC’s announcement and awarding the 2032 Games to Brisbane was the result of over six years of hard work from all levels of government.

Mayor Jamieson was the first person to meet face-to-face with the IOC President Thomas Bach in Sydney on 30 April 2015 to discuss the potential for a SEQ Games proposal under the IOC’s New Norm model.

“Today is an historic day not only for our Sunshine Coast, but also for Brisbane and Queensland,” Mayor Jamieson said.

“Not since Sydney 2000 has our country hosted the world’s greatest sporting event.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Brisbane and for our Sunshine Coast.

“I am extremely proud and humbled that the proposals first developed by the Mayors of south east Queensland back in 2015 have come to fruition.

“But now the real work begins.

“The world is coming to our community.

“Today’s decision sets in motion extensive

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson and councillors, athletes and others celebrate the Brisbane 2032 Games announcement at Kings Beach Amphitheatre. detailed planning for staging of the Games and support the liveability and connectivity of south east Queensland, which is one of the fastest-growing regions in Australia.

“Our key approach from day 1 in 2015 - and one that has never changed - has been to secure the investment needed to support the communities of south east Queensland including our Sunshine Coast, as they continue to grow.

“All partners have recognised that hosting the Games should provide a legacy 10 years before and 10 years after the Games’ events.

“The positive impact these Games will have on our community will be second-to-none and I encourage everyone to throw their support behind Brisbane 2032.”

The four proposed Sunshine Coast venues include: - Kawana Precinct including Sunshine Coast Stadium (football preliminaries) and the proposed Sunshine Coast Indoor Sports Centre (basketball preliminaries) - noting that further investigations into a possible Maroochydore city centre location for the indoor sports centre are yet to be undertaken - Alexandra Headland which will be the staging area for road-based events (Olympic cycling, marathon and race walks, plus Paralympic cycling and marathon) and host the kiteboarding competition (sailing) - Sunshine Coast Mountain Bike Centre at Parklands (Olympic mountain bike competition)

- Sunshine Coast Olympic Village which will be located in the heart of the new Maroochydore city centre.

In addition to the built venues, the Sunshine Coast is proposed as the host location for cycling (road, time trials and Paralympic disciplines); marathon (walk, run and Paralympic disciplines); and kiteboarding - which will provide an outstanding opportunity to showcase the natural beauty and attractions of our coastline and our hinterland to a global audience.

An independent economic assessment by KPMG, commissioned by the Queensland Government, has indicated the Games will deliver a total benefit of $8.1 billion for Queensland, and $17.61 billion for Australia.

Law student Casey is our water-skiing sensation Australia’s new overall women’s open water ski champion Casey Wooderson is powering ahead towards two key goals - representing Australia in future world titles and using her laws studies with USC as a pathway to a career as a Native Title lawyer.

The Indigenous athlete from Coolum credits USC’s High Performance Student Athlete program - which supports her as she balances a double degree in Business and Law with an intense training schedule - in helping her stay in peak form as she competes at an elite level.

Casey, who put in strong performances in three events - slalom, trick and jump - to secure the overall title at the Australian Water Ski Championships held earlier this year at Mulwala, New South Wales, said the win was an unexpected thrill.

“I only decided to nominate in the trick event the day before the competition started which allowed me to qualify for the overall award,” said Casey, who took up water skiing as a six-year-old and competed in her first race aged eight.

Riding high on her recent success, Casey said her next goal was to be selected to represent Australia in future World Open Water Ski Championships. She has already worn the green and gold for Australia while in high school, representing the nation at the World Junior Water Ski Championships in Peru in 2014 and Chile in 2016.

Casey, who is a member of the Dunghutti People from the Kempsey area, said she was chasing both academic and sporting success when she moved from Coffs Harbour to study at USC after completing high school.

“I wanted to take my sport to the next level by working under coaching director Emma Sheers at OZ Ski Resort at Coolum. Emma is a multiple winner of every major water ski title, including two world slalom championships and two world jump championships,” Casey said.

“I chose USC due to its reputation, location and facilities. However, it was not until I had enrolled that I discovered I was eligible 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 July, 2021

Australia’s new overall women’s open water ski champion Casey Wooderson. to join the High Performance Student Athlete (HPSA) Program.”

The program is designed to help elite and emerging athletes achieve at the highest level in study, research, training and competition, with purpose-built facilities and support from world-leading coaches, performance development specialists and sport and exercise scientists.

“I don’t believe I would have been able to get to where I am without this program,” Casey said.

“Having the flexibility to fit in assessments around training and competition schedules, and the support I receive from those involved in the HPSA program, makes such a difference.”

Part of her training schedule involves working with USC physical performance coach Aaron Turner who has developed an individualised conditioning program to target the specific muscles Casey uses in water skiing to ensure peak athletic performance.

“Water skiing is a sport of both skill and strength, so the program is focused on building my lower and upper body strength and endurance, as well as improving agility and balance,” Casey said.

Now in her third year of studies, Casey’s career goal is to work as a lawyer in the Indigenous sector, specialising in Native Title and human rights.

Noosa Enduro to return The famous Noosa Enduro is back this weekend and riders are preparing for an epic weekend of riding in the Noosa Hinterland.

Taking in some of Noosa’s most spectacular off-road real estate, participants will be guided through stunning trails, tracks, mountains and tablelands while tackling some of the Coast’s most difficult terrain.

Turning the Noosa Hinterland into one giant playground, the epic trails have been tried, tested and ready for those up for the challenge.

One of the biggest highlights for the weekend (and you don’t even need to race for this one) is the Enduro Village. Free to the local community, the Enduro Village is complete with kids’ races and events, mountain bike demos, a cycling expo, craft beer and wine, plus so much more.

The Enduro Village is the central point for all events. Riders will disembark from the village for the ride of their life before returning to the finish line so spectators can also get a taste of the action while kicking back and relaxing in the Village atmosphere.

Kaylee McKeown wins Olympic backstroke gold medal formance swim coach Chris Mooney, who is part of the Australian coaching squad in Tokyo.

Six athletes associated with USC are competing in the Tokyo Games.

Results for USC athletes to date are: Kaylee McKeown has won a gold medal in the 100m backstroke, setting a new Olympic record of 57.47 seconds.

Kaia Parnaby was a member of the Australian softball team that had one win from five games in the tournament and missed out on the medal play-offs.

USC Spartans swimmer Kaylee McKeown has become an Olympic champion after winning the final of the 100m backstroke at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Kaylee, 20, set a new Olympic record with a time of 57.47 seconds, ahead of a classy field that included two competitors who had also broken the Olympic record during heats and semi-finals over recent days.

Placegetters were Kylie Masse of Canada and Regan Smith of the United States, with four-time Australian Olympian Emily Seebohm finishing fifth.

Kaylee’s impressive victory makes her the first Australian woman to win gold in backstroke at the Olympics.

She is now set to compete in the 200m backstroke heats on Thursday night, with semi-finals on Friday and the final on Saturday.

Kaylee was also selected to represent Australia for the 200m individual medley but withdrew from that event to concentrate on her backstroke events.

Campbell joins Fraser in record

Olivia Hamood and Knockout III.

High showjumpers

By Joy Ringrose Seventeen of the nation’s best riders took on one of the biggest showjumping courses Australia has ever seen on the weekend, with jumps at a whopping 1.65m in the Grand Prix event at Nambour Showgrounds on Sunday.

Some riders competed more than one horse, so there were 23 of the nation’s best purpose-bred, warmblood horses in this class.

Only seven horses went clear in the first round, but several others with only one knockdown, that is four faults, were also allowed to compete in the second round jump off, against the clock. Because the course was held outdoors on the showgrounds, course designer Paul Raymont was able to construct a European-style 600+m course.

Only one horse, Jane Fonda with Kilcoy’s Olivia Hamood on board, was able to go clear in both rounds, to win the event. Olivia’s other mount Knockout III had the fastest time of the first round clears, so they were the last to jump in the second round, but unfortunately they pulled a rail.

Billy Raymont’s feakishly fast mount Anton clocked in the first round at 68.57 seconds.

This was nearly 10 seconds inside the next fastest time, Unfortunately he pulled a rail, so after a speedy second round he finished in second place. Billy had three horses in the competition, and one of his other mounts, the beautiful stallion Black Jack, did good times in both rounds, but pulled a rail in the second round to finish third. Black Jack is just starting to jump in top competitions, but is already getting impressive results.

Olympian Peter McMahon, on KS Sovereign’s Cadel finished fourth.

Both Olivia and Billy have competed in Europe and their experience showed in taking the top places in this keenly contested class.

Olivia Hamood and Billy Raymont, first, second and third respectively.

The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) has congratulated the Australian women’s 4x100 freestyle relay for its continued domination of the event following their world record breaking swim at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

The victory, in a time of 3:29:78, beats the previous record set at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

“Winning a third consecutive Olympic gold medal further cements Australia’s status as the dominant country in this event and we congratulate Bronte and Cate Campbell, Emma McKeon and debutant Meg Harris on making Australian sporting history,” Australian Institute of Sport chief executive officer Peter Conde said.

“That was an inspiring swim and one that I’m sure will become part of Australian sporting folklore.

Mr Conde also commended Swimming Australia on its preparation for these Games under extremely challenging circumstances, and also congratulated Jack McLoughlin (silver) and Brendon Smith (bronze) on their medals.

“The AIS has a strong partnership with Swimming Australia across a wide range of areas, and as with other national sporting organisations, has worked closely with swimming to manage the difficulties presented by the Covid pandemic and the postponed Games”.

AIS support is provided across a broad spectrum, from high performance funding to applied technology and innovation, people development and wellbeing and direct athlete grants.

Mr Conde added: “The lead-up to these Games has been anything but easy for our athletes. It has taken extraordinary resilience, adaptability and courage just to make it to Japan and we couldn’t be happier to see the Olympic dream come true for our four 4x100 relay swimmers. We are so very proud of you all.”

The relay gold is the third overall for Cate Campbell. All three have come from the 4x100 freestyle relay meaning the Australian Olympic flag bearer has now joined Dawn Fraser in the history books as the only Australian swimmers to win a gold medal in the same event at three consecutive Olympic Games.

The 4x100 freestyle relay gold brings Australia’s medal tally to three after McLoughlin and Smith collected silver and bronze in the men’s 400m freestyle and men’s 400m individual medley respectively.

High praise for junior players’ conduct at tournament Eighty-six young players took to the tennis courts at Tewantin over the weekend of 24 and 25 July for the annual Junior Development Series (JDS). Entries came from the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.

Tennis Queensland referee Gary Bigg said he was very pleased with the overall behaviour of the juniors which was “excellent“.

“There were no score disputes and the tournament was played in good spirit. As well the competition was played in a respectful manner. It was a tribute to the players’ coaches for the quality of the behaviour. I’d like to thank the coaches for the good job they have done to bring the players to this level.”

The JDS is a tournament for beginner to intermediate players. It is designed to give players their first experience in playing a series of tournaments conducted around Australia throughout the year.A large number of volunteers at the club assisted in court preparation and provision of food to ensure the tournament success.

Big weekend for Dolphins For Ray White Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club, it was certainly a great weekend. It started Friday noon, when the famous annual Noosa Dolphins Long Lunch got underway.

With a capacity house of 230 patrons, life members, sponsors guest speakers and supporters, it created an atmosphere that ensured a happy successful setting for what lay ahead: the consumption of good food, wine and good fellowship. Add to this, the Master of Ceremony was our renowned Australian poet, and master of humour, Rupert McCall.

However, apart from promoting the game, the main theme was to also raise funds for three separate charities. These were Scence Rugby, Hearts in Union and Sunnykids Charities.

Scence Rugby is a program which helps kids with various needs and Dolphins showed their support donating $2500. These funds will help with a rugby program, new kits and, above all, raise awareness for a fantastic cause. Hearts in Union supports players who have had their careers cut short by life changing injuries such as spinal or other crippling injuries. They received a donation of $5000 from the Droopy Dolphins and the Noosa Supporters.

On Saturday, a team from Sunnykids Charity, along with Mayor Clare Stewart and local MP Sandy Bolton, were on hand to raise awareness for the third local charity, a charity which works to raise awareness against domestic violence. Following an afternoon game of rugby, players worked to support this by jersey auctions resulting in a donation of $2500.

“A total effort of $10,000 to three separate charities has been a hugh effort,’’ said Mayor Clare Stewart.

“The Noosa community, is extremely proud and grateful for what this club has been able to achieve over the weekend.”

The president supported this when he said, “Everyone involved, should be extremely proud of the funds the club raised over the weekend and donated back to rugby and local community charities.”

This weekend has really highlighted just what some sporting clubs can achieve by becoming involved in community needs away from the playing fields, and the “me factor” When they do, it should definately not go unmentioned.

During his Friday welcome to guests, club president Donald McKill had given a very big vote of thanks to the club sponsors and, in doing so, noted a lot of those present were also assisting other sports and organisations throughout the community.

“This is something outstanding and so on behalf of not only the Dolphins, but all other clubs and organisations, I thank you most sincerely.”

He then introduced and give a “big welcome” to the legends of rugby, former Wallabies who were in attendance and about to entertain us with their experiences in this great game. Rod McCall, Michael O’Connor, Peter Slattery, Chris Roach, Andy McIntyre and Rod Davis are all well known to the supporters of the game. Then the MC Rupert McCall stepped forward and after reciting one of his humorous poems, for which he is now renowned, bought the legends on stage for what can only be described as a good hour of humorous tales of Wallabies on tour, some of which came from within the walls of that citadel of British Royalty, Buckingham Palace.

This was followed by a series of six auctions of prizes donated by various sponsors and conducted by Justin Sykes of the Ray White Group.

On Saturday afternoon Noosa played host to an A grade game against Wynnum club, resulting in a big win for Noosa. At Nambour the ladies scored an impressive win 44-7, however, in their away game, the Colts lost 29-27 on the bell.

All in all, it was a very busy and successful weekend for the Noosa Dolphins.

For the boat crews of the Noosa Surf Club, the training programs for the forthcoming season are underway. Now rated in the top

Iron woman champion Lana Rogers and coach Sharlene Kelly.

Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union players

Mayor Clare Stewart 10 group of Australian crews, holding their rating, virtually requires a training program covering 11 months of the year. As part of this, since 2017, the Noosa boaties, have been taking part in an annually Yeppoon to Great Keppel Island row with their sister surf boat club, Yeppoon. This year a good attendance of some 25-30 people, consisting of athletes, coaches/ sweeps, families and support crew, plus the Yeppoon Coast Guard who were there to ensure a safe journey, made the trip well worthwhile.

An 18km row on the Friday from Yeppoon to Great Keppel Island, in a time of 2hrs30 min was a good start to the weekend.

The hospitality shown by the North Keppel Island Education Centre, (who supplied a good feed) was first class. Following this, some played the tourist bit, snorkelling and sunbaking. Next morning saw another 5km row to an adjacent beach where the crews under-

Dolphins in action went coaching on the finer points of rowing.

This was followed by another 5km row back to their base. On arrival, they relaxed in preparation for the Sunday morning 18km row back to the mainland.

Speaking of the training camp, coach/ sweep Dave Tomba said, “It was a great weekend with a mixture of hard work, technical training, collaboration, building relationships and assisting Yeppoon SLSC, to build their boat section.”

It is training camps such as this, that make one realise what great ambassadors for our Noosa community, a team of well- behaved athletes, can be.

Another athlete, now well into her training program is our local girl, Lana Rogers. Lana, our present- day Australian Nutrigrain Iron Woman Champion and winner of the Coolangatta Gold, is now into week eight of her 20week program. Regarding her training, Lana

said, “I am very happy with my progress. My coach, Sharlene Kelly, who I have been with now for four years, has me on a great six day a week program. This will have me ready for my first big event for the season, the Coolangatta Gold on October 16, Covid permitting.” We wish them well.

Well, it has happened once again. Another of our quiet, unknown achievers, has been appointed coach in his chosen sport, for the state of Queensland. Our new head coach, for Queensland karate is Sensei Bryan Dukas 6th Dan, Shotokan Karate. This appointment will see him involved in preparation for the upcoming national titles in September. Following this, he will be required to draft a twoyear development program for the state. With karate in these Olympics, the timing could not be better, as it can only serve to help development, regardless of the different style of this fast- growing sport.

Olympic surf bronze win As I write, the tumult and the shouting is only starting to die down at the completion of surfing’s debut as an Olympic sport at Shidashita Beach, about 100 kilometres from Tokyo.

After two days of small and difficult conditions, finals day brought big and difficult surf for Sally Fitzgibbons and Owen Wright, our two Aussies into the quarters. Earlier, Steph Gilmore and Julian Wilson had fallen victim to surf which can only be described as, well, a little bit shidashita. But, everyone had to surf the same shita and some did it better than others.

Sally was the first to fall, going down to Japan’s Shida local Amuro Tsuzuki in the quarters from a combination of local knowledge and deeper, cleaner turns. In his quarter Big Owie Wright took out Peru’s Lucca Mesinas by a healthy margin, then went down to Italo Ferreira in a nail-biting semi. Matched against Gabriel Medina in the bronze medal playoff, Wright was definitely the underdog, but he surfed hard and smart and took Australia’s only medal in an emotional finish.

It was great to see the surfers who represented doing so with a real passion. None more so than Italy’s Leo Fioravanti, who unfortunately didn’t make it past the prelims but was certainly loving the moment with stepdad and coach, my great mate Stephen “Belly” Bell.

Vale Strop and Big Wave For those of us who started out in the media and broadcasting world in the halcyon years of the ‘70s and ‘80s, these past couple of weeks have been very sad.

First, the legendary potty-mouthed but amusing boss of the Nine and Seven networks (at different times), part-time Noosa resident Big Wave Dave Leckie toppled off the perch at the family estate on the NSW Southern Highlands after a long struggle. I knew Leckie at the height of his powers but we were not close, not like his other Noosa friends, Tony and Helen Flanagan.

But when he started spending more time at his Quamby Place riverfront, he would phone me and bellow: “Jarratt, we have to save the frickin’ river! I’ll buy you lunch.” And he would.

The last time we met for a drink, I picked him up and drove him to the Boathouse so he could see a different aspect of the river from the Sunset Bar. It took two beer stops to get to the top floor bar, and he didn’t last long. “Take me home, Jarratt.” I did and we shook hands and that was that. I wish I’d been a better friend in those final months.

Next, John Cornell, or Strop, or Corny, funny, generous, clever little bugger, took his leave after an incredibly long and sad battle with Parkinson’s. Hearing of his death, my friend David Hill, who worked with him closely to launch World Series Cricket, summed it up: “Cornell was a bloody wonder. No Cornell, no WSC, no C’mon Aussie C’mon, no Paul Hogan, no Winfield ads (I loved those Winfield ads), no Paul Hogan Show, no Crocodile Dundee, no Throw A Shrimp on the barbie, and for that 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 30 July, 2021

I first met Corny at a boozy lunch in Sydney’s Paddington with the two Als of Mojo Advertising fame, somewhere between World Series Cricket and the shrimp on the barbie Hogan ads. And in 1985 I spent a week on the set of Crocodile Dundee in Kakadu interviewing Hoges for Playboy. So in Los Angeles the following year, it wasn’t too difficult to get an exclusive interview with Corny as he inked a deal with Paramount Pictures that would make everyone associated with the Dundee franchise very rich indeed.

I phoned Corny on arrival in LA at the start of a two-month tour of duty for The Bulletin magazine in which I’d cart my family across the US in a Winnebago while reporting on the state of the nation. It was a pretty good deal, I had to admit, and it cracked Cornell up when I told him. We met at his hotel, the luxurious but funky Bel Air in the Hollywood Hills. My wife, Jackie, had made a career change and completed a photography course just before we left Australia. She had talent, but this was her first serious gig.

I’ll never forget Corny’s generosity in helping set up the shot for Jackie. Nothing was too

cashmere sweater over Bermuda shorts and socks… ‘Who are these people and what are they doing in my office?’ jokes John Cornell.”

Corny was a larrikin, and a bit of a genius, and unforgettable. Good life, well played, mate.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Bovalino steps down

By Julian Pitts Revered Noosa tiger Senior men’s coach Adam Bovalino has informed his playing group of his decision to step down at the end of the 2021 season. In an emotional revelation after the Tigers’ narrow loss to Wilston Grange in Brisbane last Saturday, the dual premiership captain and coach quoted family reasons as his main reason to take a break from coaching.The dual team of the decade recipient stating: “I have loved my time at the Noosa Tigers and I am truly grateful and thankful to the club to have been able to coach them. I have to put my family first and look forward to working in a new role with the club to help make the club great again.”

The Tigers were jumped in the opening stanza and, while they got to within eight points half way through the final quarter, they were unable to come away with the victory. With a month to go, the Noosa team remain winless in what has been a really trying year. Senior assistant coach Dhane Hutchison saying: “you know we have used 47 players through the seniors this year which is just astounding. Having blokes of the calibre of Meredith and Stack out for long lengths certainly doesn’t help either but the effort from the boys has never waned”.

Skipper Aaron Laskey was great for the Tigers whilst Jai Fitzpatrick also put his stamp on the game with a dazzling display through the middle. Riley Rickard battled manfully in the ruck all day whilst youngster Cooper Ogden did a terrific job in curbing the very talented

Noosa in croquet success

By Colin Hindson The Shield competition, for players with a medium handicap, is continuing and the Noosa team the team travelled to Headland/ Buderim on 14 July and did not do so well, going down 8-2. Sally Stopps and Mike Studley each had one win. On 28 June the team had a good 6-4 win against Caloundra, with James Martin winning all three games - well done James. On 26 July the team played Bribie Island at Noosa and won 6-4. James Martin had a good day, winning both his singles and the doubles. The Shield team will now be second on the ladder.

On Monday 24 May, the Plate team (high handicaps) played Coolum Club at Noosa.

The result was a very close. Games were level at the end of play, and a countback showed both teams had the same number of hoops, so a tie was declared and the points shared.

Teresa Martin, Susie Locke and Lorry Ryan all had two wins each for Noosa. On 19 July, the Plate team visited Bribie Island, and had a solid 7-3 win, with Susie Locke winning all

three of her games and dropping her handicap - well done Susie. The Plate team is now level first on the ladder, behind by just a few hoops on percentage.

The Pennant team of low handicappers played Headland at Headland and lost 6-4.

Niven Gugich, John Dark and Rob Moncrieff each won one singles game, and Niven Gugich and Rob Moncrieff also won their doubles game. On 19 July, the low handicap team had a good win against Bribie Island at home, winning 7-3. Niven Gugich and John Dark both had good wins. They are now second on the ladder, and it looks like the final game against Headland coming up will be the decider for the pennant championship.

The Jan van der Linden Division 2 Handicap Golf Singles is a club competition for members in the 9-12 Handicap range. Three preliminary rounds were played in February, April and June. The winner and runner-up from each round, Cher Boyd, Charlie Younger, Sally Walker, Mike Studley, Sheila Moncrieff andTeresa Martin, competed in the finals played on 17 and 24 July, with Sheila

Rob and Sheila Moncrief score the JvdL shields.

Moncrieff emerging as the winner - a great effort. This means the JvdL Shields for Divisions 1 and 2 have been won by Rob and Sheila Moncrieff - a family affair.

The Noosa Association croquet team (combined with Coolum as “Cooloosa”) played at the Maleny courts on 14 July and had a narrow loss to the Range 2-1. However,

this team sits on top of the ladder with a good hoop advantage.

An honorary mention to Richard Bawden who managed to score the elusive two hoops in one shot achievement in golf croquet.

Noosa has its own medal for such an achievement and Richard was allowed to wear the medal for a fleeting moment.

“You can see them right from the front door.

“People are surprised when they get there … a place like that, the scale and the beauty, the ambience and the views.’’

Interstate lockdowns have hampered the on-site inspections but a lot of confidence has been placed on buyer agents who have been looking for interstate clients.

When dealing with sight-unseen properties, it’s a matter of being able to describe it well, Lian said. Take them through the property on whatever application they prefer.

“People have all been happy when they see it.

“There has been a real mix from people in country Australia, also Brisbane outskirts and Sunshine Coast hinterland locals.

“Former cattle and dairy farmers looking to downsize.’’

The as-new Hamptons-inspired home

features ducted air-conditioning, 2.7m high ceilings, ironbark timber floors, and stylish louvre windows for cross ventilation.

The modern farmhouse provincial kitchen boasts premium-quality inclusions and flows out to an elevated entertaining deck.

A creek forms the western boundary of the property that has paddocks with electric fences.

There is a 20m by 12m five-bay shed with 3.6-metre clearance, three-phase power, and a workshop with a car hoist.

HIGH, WIDE AND HANDSOME It’s a big house with jaw-dropping views.

“It will appeal to a large family or extended family, and has dual living possibilities.

“They fall in love with that view.

“The beautiful thing is while it’s a steep property to get those views, it has about an acre of flat land around the house - so you have the best of both worlds.

“Usually flat, useable and views are not used in same sentence. But here you have them all.’’

“The neighbours run cattle and have maintained the fences.

SUNSEEKERS CLOSE IN From the beginning of the marketing campaign for the Chris Miller-listed freestanding townhouse at 12 Sunseeker Cl, Noosaville, the response was buoyant.

Not surprising given the single-level, three-bedder is part of the Noosa Waters’ estate, and this was the first time in 21 years it had been offered for sale.

There was a larger-then-usual crowd of enthusiastic property watchers and 12 registered bidders with their fingers crossed.

With multiple parties participating including via telephone, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald called “sold” at $965,000.

The Melbourne-based buyers were ecstatic, knowing they had secured an enormous opportunity in a first-class location.

The NZ-based sellers were impressed with the remarkable reaction and result, also grateful for the Tom Offermann Real Estate team effort.

The Tiffany Wilson-listed 29 Moonbeam Cres, Castaways Beach, has all the attributes you’d expect of a three-bedroom house near the beach and adjoining the Noosa National Park. However, it was passed in on auction day and she is negotiating with two interested parties from interstate and Brisbane.

SALE REFLECTS INCREASING VALUES Scheduled for auction tomorrow, Saturday, but sold prior is the Eliza Coppin-listed penthouse 22 with a rooftop, at the Tropicana complex, 140 Noosa Pde, Noosaville.

Eliza who was very happy with the result as were the owners said “we are still receiving strong enquiry from investors in the southern states.

“The result is certainly a reflection of how Noosa’s values have increased.

“Recent sales of Noosaville apartments on the waterfront have been in the high $2 millions, such as apartment 6 Noosa Haven selling at auction for $2.64m.

“Some sales are tipping into the $3 millions, while dry-side values have also reached new levels.”

ON WATER’S EDGE Steps to the water’s edge and seemingly in its own secluded paradise, a threebedroom, two-bathroom, one-car townhouse at 1/19 Laburnum Cres, Noosaville, is set for auction at 11am on Friday, August 6.

· The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 4.01ha at 308 Eumundi Range Rd, Eumundi, that goes to auction Friday, August 6, at 1pm. 244258 Mal Cox at Tom Offermann Real Estate said the two-level townhouse was heavily renovated two years ago - inside and out.

Facing the water and with a private pool, there is a security gate to take you to the walkway through to the yacht club and Noosa River.

“There has been good interest,’’ Mal said. “A mix of interstate and locals looking to downsize and as an investment.’’

Banks of white plantation shutters in the open-plan living spaces slide back, amplifying the indoors-out effect.

This gives a seamless transition to the terrace on the north-westerly side.

A FAMILY AFFAIR Get the sunscreen out, a hard-working family from Victoria are looking to escape the southern winter and move to Noosa after purchasing a Tewantin home prior to auction.

Jannell Chataway at Laguna Real Estate said the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, twocar house with pool at 51 Werin St has gone under contract prior to the July 31 scheduled date.

“Everyone is happy,’’ Jannell said. “The buyers have business interests and will holiday here initially.

“They are so excited.

“Other offers were being presented so their son had a look through.’’

On a 505sq m allotment, the house features spacious, open plan living/dining,

high ceilings, and ducted air-conditioning.

The kitchen, dining and lounge overlook the back yard and pool.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE It’s a rare find - a four-bedroom, threebathroom, two-car house on 1002sq m at 11 Goodchap St, Tewantin.

Tucked away in this short, private street, the house will go to auction at 10am on Saturday, August 7.

Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate said the house had been built in 1980 and enjoyed an elevated, northerly aspect with a very attractive, leafy outlook.

“Poincianas line the street,’’ Warren said. “No-one knows it’s there poincianas, no-one knows its there but you can walk to the river, or the yacht and rowing club.’’

Warren has had the fortune of having acted for the vendor previously.

“It’s a lovely family. I’ve had the privilege of selling land for them in Noosaville in recent years.’’

The house has spacious, open-plan living with cathedral ceilings, a renovated galley-style kitchen, and a covered entertaining patio.

There has been interstate interest but generally locals, and people from Brisbane wanting to retire here.

Warren has had offers prior but the vendors are determined to go to auction.

“It is a much more transparent method,’’ he said. “This way they all have the time to

RARE SETTLER’S COVE LUXURY APARTMENTS THE developers of Lumina, Settler’s Cove, have announced the final luxury apartment release of the popular L2 development.

Consisting of only two apartments, it’s a rare release in what is fast becoming one of Noosa’s most sought-after and tightlyheld enclaves.

Set high on the banks of the Noosa River and surrounded by protected bushland, the L2 Lumina Residences is ideal for those looking for a tranquil Noosa lifestyle, yet with the convenience of being only minutes away from the dining, shopping and attractions of Noosa Junction, Hastings’ Street and Main Beach.

Each of these bright and spacious apartments consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a floor area of 262m2. Two large balconies offer views over natural bushland at the rear, and over the resort-style pool and tropical gardens at the front.

High 2.65m ceilings in the living areas and bedrooms provide a cool, light airiness to the apartments. The main bedrooms also feature a walk-in robe.

The beautifully designed and appointed interiors include high-end features, such as Italian stone tiling, bespoke timberwork and New Zealand wool carpets. Villeroy & Boch fixtures and fittings are used throughout.

The large kitchens feature a soft, curved free-form design island bench as their

centrepiece. A continuous 7m Caesarstone workbench leads into a concealed walk-in pantry. American Oak panelling gives the kitchens a luxurious warmth.

For outdoor entertaining, each apartment includes an outdoor servery, equipped with an under-bench fridge, sink and cooktop.

The apartments share a private lobby, with a large 17-person lift providing access to the foyer and secure underground parking. Each apartment includes two parking bays with integrated storage.

RIVERSIDE SANCTUARY IN 5-STAR POSITION PICTURE a brilliant corner locale on the much coveted 5-star Hilton Esplanade, with a Tim Ditchfield-design triumph, nestled amongst the serenity and pristine nature of the Noosa River foreshore, yet close to the buzz and sophistication of Hastings Street.

Open the front gate on the side street, note the low maintenance lush gardens, while indoors a sense of arrival hints at a tranquil atmosphere to follow.

Yes, it is easy to be impressed with this stunningly beautiful oasis with a Bahamas-inspired aesthetic to capture the imagination and feed the spirit.

Each magnificent level has ever-ending French oak flooring, super high ceilings which conjure light and saturate the very generous north-facing living areas, entertaining terraces, also the gallerylike wall spaces designed to showcase colourful art works and striking artifacts.

Upstairs the vast fresh and exhilarating living spaces are calibrated and have a seamless connection to the luminous quality of the Noosa River, just beyond the cedar terrace with its shaded zone.

The westerly wall features louvres, on the eastern side are high automated windows, also custom-built cabinetry on the wall.

The luxe kitchen with its natural hued stone-topped cabinetry including island bench and walk-through pantry is the full complement, as is the dedicated and totally integrated office in the mezzanine.

In the south wing is the mega king master with a fashionista-style walk-through wardrobe and large ensuite bathroom with travertine-tiled walls and floors, a double vanity and frameless shower.

The un-paralleled attention to detail continues on the ground level, with a large living area with built-in bar, and a wall of louvres on the westerly side which enhances the expansive water views. It also looks over the iridescent pool and sun terrace which seemingly perches over the river.

When it comes to dreamy bedrooms there are three, two queen and one kingsize with built-in robes, on the ground level.

One opens out to the northerly terrace and all three share a travertine-tiled bathroom.

There is also a laundry, storage under the timber-treaded stairs, plus access to the 3-car garage where storage space is also plentiful. A glass lift scheduled for installation September 2021, is included.

When it comes to lifestyle and design this residence hits the high notes between spectacular and practical, so there is an argument for stashing the kids downstairs to splash in the pool, while you commandeer the brilliant upstairs space with its new millennium interior.

“This distinctively year-round cool,

contemporary river house is unlike anything else,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Robyn Reid, who has slated the property for auction on Saturday 14 August 2021.

“The much sought-after location is a fishing rod-length from the Noosa River where you can swim, fish from a jetty, kayak, paddle board or go boating. Walk to Gympie Terrace with its bevy of cafes, bars and boutiques, Noosa Marina, Noosa Library, and the Noosa Leisure Centre. Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park are a short drive away.”

Complementing the clever design and grandeur is the commercial-grade custom kitchen and butler’s pantry with leatherhoned black granite bench tops, dark and light oak cabinetry with inlaid mesh, a wealth of absolutely high-end appliances, a cool room, also a wide electric powered picture window, which opens to a servery for the Mediterranean-style terrace with its pizza oven and fire pit.

The east wing is all about next level luxe, privacy and breathtaking. Occupied solely by the sumptuous master suite, sliding doors access a walkway, the sitting room spells relaxation, chandeliers ’dress’

the bedside tables, ensuite walls and floors are white honed leather marble, and drink in ravishing views from the over-size freestanding oval tub. There’s no denying the 70m2 dressing room with tactile surfaces and brown suede robe doors is every fashionista’s dream.

To one side of the master is a guest suite with marble floors and walls in the Ensuite and floor – to – ceiling built-in black suede-covered robes. Joined by covered walkway to the east of the dressing room is another marble Ensuited bedroom currently configured as a gym.

Downstairs in the east wing is a living area with kitchenette, a master-style bedroom with a bath in the ensuite, walk-in robe, and access to the covered walkway.

In the west wing you find a similar stylish bedroom with matching features although with a more studio layout and views to Lake McDonald.

The highlight of downstairs, joining the east and west wings, is the state-of-the-art media room with feature screen, reclaimed Russian elm panelled wall and two portholes looking into the pool. In addition, there’s a second study and access to the humidity-controlled wine room and cellar with provision for 2,000 bottles.

Adding 6-star pizzaz to the understated glamour of this natural paradise is its helicopter landing pad designed by McDermott Aviation, a 5-person lift, a Tylo steam room, gymnasium and out-buildings which complement the residence and house machinery to uphold the botanical gardens-style landscaping.

“The sensitively crafted estate blends perfectly into the natural terrain and has sublime 180-degree views,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart and principal Tom Offermann.

“It’s a place in which, somewhere between the sea spray of Noosa Main Beach 20-minutes away, and the almost lost-world tradition of a safe, secure unrivalled lifestyle, it’s possible to lose yourself completely.

Michael Polkinghorne 0408062602

A BOUTIQUE retailer with stores in Freshwater (Sydney) and Byron Bay has begun fit-out on their third shop in what is arguably the most prominent location on Hastings Street. Fashion brand Kivari have committed to approximately 100 square metres at 59 Hastings Street, which is directly adjacent to the Surf Club car park.

Leasing agent Jesse Howitt, of Colliers, said “the brand had been considering Hastings Street for a while before COVID put the brakes on their plans. We were a long way down the path with another national retailer on the property, however we were having difficulties with Body Corporate due to their use and hours of operation. When Kivari came back to us we felt it was a better fit for both this space and Hastings Street in general and moved quickly to secure them”.

Mr Howitt added that despite retailers experiencing up and down times at present, Hastings Street seems to have held its ground in terms of vacancy rates and rental rates. “When you compare Hastings Street with other high profile retail strips on the Sunshine Coast, such as Mooloolaba

Esplanade, it has performed incredibly well.”

Mr Howitt added “It is great to see well regarded boutique brands having a go on Hastings Street. The strip was historically renowned for labels that weren’t available everywhere but in recent times, national brands have started to take up prime positions which threatened the authenticity of the street.” Kivari will aim to open their doors end of August. ●
