Tourism despair By Abbey Cannan Over the eight day lockdown, Tourism Noosa has estimated the region copped almost $16 million in business losses. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said it has been a challenging and nervous time for many operators. “While lockdown has been lifted, it is the uncertainty of our key interstate markets and when they will return that is a big concern for many operators,” she said. “We have been in this position before and the drive market has played an important part in our road to recovery and will do so again over the oncoming weeks.” Ms Anderson said she was aware of some local businesses having to stand down employees during last week’s lockdown, with the aim of returning workers as soon as they were able to open up business again. “With continued lockdowns in other states and lower visitation to our region some operators are unfortunately needing to reducing staffing and or hours and there is some concern that it will be a slower return to normal business,” she said. “Supporting our members and the tourism community is always a key priority for Tourism Noosa and in challenging times like this, communication to our members is critical.” Their team has been providing regular communication to members via their Covid page on the members toolkit as well as EDMs with news and information about latest developments, and support for the tourism industry from Tourism Noosa and other bodies. This could be anything from grants, financial support opportunities, the latest roadmaps and just in general information sharing. “Like most businesses we are continually assessing where we are at, what we are doing with our marketing and pivoting to get through these challenging times,” Ms Anderson said. “One of our key priorities at the moment is looking at forward data, insights into consumer sentiment and reviewing where and when we can do targeted marketing to keep Noosa top of mind in markets that can travel to ultimately generate business for our region.” Tourism Noosa is also working closely with Noosa Council and the newly organised Business Roundtable sub-group to consult, listen and develop appropriate support for the local business community.

So this week we all filled out the Census, the most comprehensive survey conducted in Australia by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. I know it’s difficult to compile a survey. You don’t want to ask too many questions in case people don’t do it. You want to gain information that is useful and can be compared to previous studies. But, I thought they could have included a few more questions than they did. Considering we are in the midst of a pandemic I thought they may have added a few questions on Covid. When I was filling out the sections asking about the amount of work you’d done last week I thought, considering we were in lockdown and so many businesses were forced to close, the results would surely not represent the real Noosa. Future generations will surely look back on this time and marvel at a time of idleness in 2021 when so few people in Noosa worked. Also out this week was the 2021 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with new estimates of global warming warning that within a decade could push temperatures 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels unless governments take urgent action on climate change. Warming has accelerated faster than anticipated and the result will be worse fires, longer droughts, more floods, greater sea rises, it said. The world needs to cut emission by 45 per cent by 2030, the IPCC says, and rich countries need to move faster. Councillors this week said they needed to be bold in their actions.

Rate rise rocks quarry By Nick Thompson
Quarry haulage truck on Pomona Kin Kin Road. in another category.” It also advises: “Your objection must be lodged with council within 30 days of the issue of your rate notice. If an objection is lodged the rates and charges levied continue to be due and payable. If the differential category is altered as a result of the objection an adjustment of the rates will be made.” But as Mr Shepperson’s property is thought to have been in the “Extractive Industries” category without objection for a number of years and with the latest rates increase for the category having been approved by vote at several public council meetings during the budget approval process, the grounds for an appeal appear limited. To be sure, the new rate for the “Extractive Industries” category is without parallel. To put it in context, the level of 19.5150 cents in the dollar is more than 10 times higher than the next nearest category in the Noosa Council ratings table - shopping centres greater than 20,000 square metres in size. A number of questions about the issue were put to a council spokesman and the following replies were received: Why was such a large increase introduced for this one category? The change in the minimum and rate in the dollar ($) reflects the additional impacts of the property use on council road infrastructure.
Picture: ROB MACCOLL How many properties and or property/ owners will be affected by this increase? One property. Were they notified in advance of the change? The property owner was not directly contacted. Council did publish the proposed rating changes with the draft budget as part of its community consultation in May-June 2021. This was available on the Your Say Noosa website. What will the effect be on their annual rates bill in dollar terms? It is up to the individual property owner to provide if they wish. Is the rates increase levied on the property owner or the ’tenant’ carrying out the extractive industry work? Rates are applicable to the property and its owner. It is, however, common practice for a property owner to pass on rates and charges as outgoings to a tenant under a commercial lease arrangement. This latest development in the relationship between the council and the quarry operators comes at a critical time. It is coming up to one year since the Kin Kin Community Group organised the first public meeting to discuss the dramatic increase in daily truck movements between the quarry and Pomona.
That meeting, on August 19, 2020, led to the formation of the multi-party roundtable meetings at Noosa Council which have included community representatives, councillors and staff, the mayor, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, the police, state government agencies and even, in the early days, a representative from Cordwell Resources. The roundtable group was set to meet this week amid expectation that a long-awaited report from a barrister into the viability of opening a legal case against the quarry operator would be tabled. But the meeting has been rescheduled until later this month with “information still being assessed”. Noosa Council embarked on a scientific data-gathering survey earlier this year with monitors, cameras and sensors being used to detect noise, dust and the number, weight and speed of vehicles along the haulage routes from the quarry. The data was passed to the Brisbane-based legal team which has been assessing how it might be used in potential legal action. Noosa Council has also issued fines totalling $160,000 against Cordwell Resources for alleged breaches of the Quarry Management Plan. None of the fines had been paid. Council confirmed they were appealed by the operator and are going through the court process.

Noosa Council has imposed a whopping 17fold increase in rates on the property which houses the controversial Kin Kin Quarry. Retired dairy farmer John Shepperson, who owns the property and leases the quarry site to Cordwell Resources, knew nothing about the massive rise until his annual notice and sixmonthly rates bill arrived last week. The 1688 per cent increase, thought to be unprecedented in council’s history, was slipped in with the annual rating changes approved by Noosa’s mayor and councillors at the end of June as part of the annual budget process. A spokesman for Noosa Council said the change was introduced to reflect “the additional impacts of the property use on council road infrastructure”. And while the rates bill will have been served on the property owner, it is common practice for the owner to pass on rates and charges as outgoings to a tenant under a commercial lease arrangement. While most of Noosa’s residential ratepayers were probably grateful to see this year’s rates increase limited to an average of 2.9 per cent, Mr Shepperson discovered his percentage increase was almost 600 times greater. Noosa Council has not made any announcement about the change but it can be found in the ’Rating Category Statement’ attached to each of the individual rates invoices sent to all ratepayers twice a year. Mr Shepperson’s property, at the end of Shepperson’s Lane several kilometres east of Kin Kin, is the only property in Noosa Shire to be categorised as ’Extractive Industries - Quarries Greater Than 50,000 tonnes’. In the last financial year (’20/’21) it was rated at 1.0910 cents in the dollar with a minimum figure of $1577. This was slightly more than double the equivalent rate for a Rural and Agricultural property. But the latest rating category statement sees the charge skyrocketing to 19.5150 cents in the dollar with a minimum figure set at $57,950. That is more than 41 times the equivalent rate for Rural & Agricultural Property. In short, his rates bill has gone up by an eyewatering 1688 per cent. Noosa Council has confirmed that it only has one ratepayer in the ’Extractive Industries - Quarries Greater Than 50,000 tonnes’ category and that the ratepayer is Mr Shepperson. The Shepperson family were among the first European settlers to select blocks of land in the Kin Kin district when they were offered for sale more than 100 years ago and they have remained on the property ever since. Noosa Today has been told Mr Shepperson has discussed the matter with his solicitors and council confirmed he has met with the Mayor and council CEO but no appeal has been made against the rates increase. Making an appeal may be difficult. The council’s rate schedule states: “the only ground you can object on is that given Council’s descriptions of the differential general rating categories your property should be

How Kareena won bronze By Margaret Maccoll “I’m so happy,” Noosa’s newest Olympian Kareena Lee told Noosa Today this week from isolation in Brisbane as she discussed the day when the planets aligned and she won a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “Normally we don’t talk about a strategy until the day of the race,” Kareena said but before leaving her coach John ’JR’ Rodgers behind in Darwin following a pre-Olympic training camp, he suggested her winning tactic. “Get in the top six so you can see any breaks and with a kilometre to go “pick up the pace and don’t look back,” he said. In a 10km race you have to be flexible because “different things happen in races” and you don’t know the game plans of the other competitors, Kareena said, even though she had “raced every one one of those girls before”, but in this instance, the plan worked perfectly. “I was able to stick to the plan through the race,” she said. Kareena placed herself in the middle of the field in sixth position in a washing machine of splash. From the vantage point she was able to keep an eye on her competitors. “It’s a rough place to be but it’s where you use the least amount of energy. You get dragged along by the pack,” she said. “I just tried to keep relaxed and calm.” The leaders went out fast. “It picked up the pace for everyone,” she said. Kareena said the water was murky with little visibility but she noticed fish jumping from the water before she started the race and could hardly believe it when one crashed into her. “One was getting ready to jump out of the water,” she said. “It jumped at my chest. I was shocked. That’s never happened before. I looked up at the officials .. like ... did you see that?” When Kareena dived into the water in Tokyo, it was the first time she’d competed internationally in almost two years because of Covid. Kareena finished seventh in the World Championships in 2019 to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. “I was less than one second off a medal,” she said. “I believed I could medal on the day.” Being Kareena’s first Olympics, she had nothing to compare the experience with and Covid had made it an Olympics like no other. “There were a lot of people walking around,” she said. “Everyone had masks in place. There were sanitisers everywhere and booths and screens. “We stayed within the Team Australia building as much as possible.” She was surprised at the amount of walking needed to go to the dining hall or transit buses. “I was walking 7-8km a day. One day I walked 15km. I don’t do that much walking,” she said. But the walking worked in her favour, tiring her out so she had a good night sleep before her 3am wake up call on race day. “I woke up feeling happy and happy to race and grateful to be there. I was just in a really good place. Before, I had a training camp in

I was doing the best training sessions I’d ever done, and sauna sessions to be able to deal with the heat.” Throughout the two hour race, swimmers grab their specially prepared fluids handed to them on poles and down them as quickly as possible while hardly missing a stroke. For Kareena it was a mix of carbohydrates and electrolytes prepared with the advice of a dietician. “It’s about staying hydrated. The water was almost 30 degrees (Celsius),” she said. “It’s hard to keep liquid down in the heat.” While her coach was back in Australia, she was assigned a coach Chris Nesbit and water performance manager Greg Shaw from the Australian Olympic Team who assisted her during the race, provided her “feeds” and cheered her on. Kareena’s Olympic dream began at the 2000 Sydney Olympics when she watched Susie O’Neill win a gold and three silver medals. Her first open water race was in 2012 when she was 18 years of age. In 2014 she made the Australian national team. “That was the first time I thought I could go to the Olympics,” she said. Since qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics,
Kareena’s training has involved more pool racing than open water which she credits for increasing her speed in the water. Each week her training schedule involves swimming 70-80km in two- to two-and-a-half hour sessions as well as three gym sessions, three cycling sessions and three yoga sessions. All the preparation culminated in success last week in a nail-biting finish. The race was won in the final hundred metres when the three medal winners broke from the pack and sprinted to the finish. “It was so close at the end,” Kareena said. Brazilian Marcela Cunha touched first, winning gold, followed by Sharon van Rouwendaal from The Netherlands, then Kareena. “I felt so privileged to stand on the podium with those girls,” Kareena said. “The girl who won gold is the greatest open swimmer of all time. The girl who was second was the reigning Olympic champion.” Kareena hopes to take a break once she gets out of quarantine before having a chat with her coach about where to next, and the 2024 Paris Olympics are definitely in her sights. “I’ve never been to Paris,” she said. “And I’d love to go.”

Cleaning rebate Noosa’s Business Roundtable is calling it a win for local business after successfully lobbying the State Government for a Covid-19 cleaning rebate. The Treasurer has announced $20 million in funding to help the business sector as part of a total $70 million business rescue package. Council’s Acting Director of Sustainable Development Anthony Dow initiated a subcommittee of the Noosa Business roundtable to gauge ways in how council could provide immediate support to the business community during the lockdown. Sub-committee member and Interim President of the Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ralph Rogers flagged the idea of urgent funding for COVID deep cleans at a discussion last week. “This was something our committee on behalf of members felt strongly about, it’s unfair a business that is adversely affected at a time they need help gets stuck with the cost and management of appropriate deep cleaning,” he said. It was one of several initiatives raised by Mayor Clare Stewart during a Zoom meeting with South-East Queensland Mayors and State Treasurer Cameron Dick. “It’s fantastic that the idea was well received by the Treasurer and other mayors,” she said. “Our Business Roundtable members work extremely hard to identify workable solutions during this pandemic and it’s a credit to them that we have managed to get a result from the Queensland Government,” Cr Stewart said. Mr Rogers applauded the collaborative approach. “It’s easy to come up with the ideas, but equally important is having the civic leader who can successfully lobby the local cause,” he said. Mr Rogers said the new measures would deliver immediate help to many local operators. “This funding will certainly help ease the financial burden on them and assist them at a time they most need it,” Mr Rogers said.

Police officer injured in stolen car chase A police officer was injured after three cars were stolen from a Pelican Waters residence on Sunday night. Around 3.30am on Monday morning, police were called to an Attunga Street residence after the owner reported three cars had been stolen. Officers spotted one of the vehicles, a Mini Cooper, driving on Nicklen Way around 4am and a short pursuit began. The Mini was followed into Finch Court at Bokarina, where it rammed a police car. The driver fled the car while a male senior constable suffered minor injuries as a result of the collision. Around the same time, the two other stolen vehicles - a white Range Rover and white Toyota Supra - were observed travelling along Caloundra Road. A tyre deflation device was successfully deployed on both stolen cars and a civilian car following them. Officers lost sight of the vehicles, however, they were later seen travelling at speed towards Caboolture along the Pumicestone Road overpass. A silver Mazda hatchback and a group of children were observed around Columbia Place, believed to be linked to this incident. Anyone with information related to the incident, or the whereabouts of the cars, are encouraged to contact police.

“The deep clean rebate was much needed, and thanks go to our Business Roundtable and Mayor Clare for targeting, as well the ongoing broader list of needs that are being fought for on behalf of our community in response to Covid-19 and its impacts.“ Cr Stewart said working together was the only way forward. “We need to listen to our business community and work with them to get through this challenging period,” Cr Stewart said.
Frying Pan foreshore needs a clean up By Margaret Maccoll Mooring structures and vessels on the public foreshore at the Frying Pan, Noosa North Shore have been targeted for removal by the recently formed Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee (NRSAC). Investigations found the vessels and structures were located on council-owned road reserve, and aerial photographs showed an increase in their number between 2008 and 2019 as well as clearing of foreshore vegetation including mangroves. Under Local Law No 4 the storage of vessels and construction of private structures on public land is prohibited and research indicated they lacked development approval
IN BRIEF
under the Noosa Plan and were not consistent with planning expectations. At Noosa Council’s Planning and Environment Committee Meeting on Tuesday, Cr Brian Stockwell said it was not the only site on the river where structures had been built to enhance people’s access to natural areas. He said council could work out the ownership of vessels and seek voluntary compliance and restoration. We could say, we reckon you did it and how about you fix it up, not you did it and we’ll fix it up. “I think that’s a fair way to start,” he said. However, a council officer said it was sometimes difficult to find the owners of
vessels that were not registered, structures may have predated planning acts and there may have been a change of land ownership from the people who built them. In addition, the removal of the structures by land owners could cause damage to the natural environment. In a report, council’s principal environment officer recommended writing to adjacent residents advising them of them of council’s clean-up program of the foreshore and prepare a plan to seek funding in future budgets. He said the Frying Pan situation could provide a test case for dealing with illegal structures in other locations.
Police have charged a 14-year-old Sippy Downs boy with stealing and fraud after multiple reports of credit cards being stolen from vehicles. The stolen credit cards were used to purchase goods between 14 July and 15 July in the Buddina area. It will be alleged the boy used the stolen credit cards at several convenience stores including a Kawana Waters grocery store where he purchased gift cards to the value of $115. On August 5, police found the boy allegedly riding a stolen push bike. He has been taken into custody and charged with three counts of receiving tainted property, three counts of fraud and one count of unlawful possession of suspected stolen property. He is scheduled to appear at Maroochydore Children’s Court at a later date.
Road closure as work progresses on Bruce Highway Flood Road at East Deep Creek will be temporarily closed to traffic as construction of the $1 billion Bruce Highway Cooroy to Curra Section D upgrade continues. Traffic management and electronic signs will be in place to assist road users during the closure, which is expected to run from Monday 9 August to Sunday 10 October, weather permitting. Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien said contractors had met with property owners affected by the closure to advise them of the works and to make arrangements for them to safely access their properties.

Mateship of vets By Abbey Cannan He may not have been old enough to legally drink beer in Australia at the time, but Vietnam Vets president Neil Webb was old enough to serve in a war. Vietnam Veterans’ Day on Wednesday 18 August is a time to reflect on the qualities of courage and perseverance that characterised the Australians’ service in Vietnam. Noosa local Neil was a soldier in the Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) group Charlie Company. “I came out from England when I was 16 and when I was 18 I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, so I joined the Army,” Neil said. “I joined the infantry and went to Vietnam in February and we came back to Australia in October.” Charlie Company set the record for the longest single operation in the history of the Vietnam War (52 days) and possibly for the entire Australian Army. In World War Two, soldiers averaged 40 days in four years in combat in the jungle, an average of 10 days per year, Charlie Company did more than five years’ worth in the first operation alone. “I was an infantry bloke, so most of the time we lived in the bush, or the jungle whatever you want to call it,” Neil said. “Most of the time we were in the jungle searching for the enemy and having a few sharp contacts with them, but majority of the time they basically ran away. They didn’t want to fight the Australian troops because they knew that the Australian troops would stay because we didn’t give up. “As an infantry soldier, we went across as a battalion, which meant you made friendships. We had some good times. You laugh over stupid things and all that type of stuff.” Neil is still friends with many of his fellow soldiers to this day, including John Ginnivan. Their families go on holiday together.

Still mates to this day, Neil Webb and John Ginnivan on Vietnam Veterans’ Day at Standown Park in 2020.
“I was 19 when we went over there and when we came back to Queensland with some of our mates on leave, we got in trouble at a pub because I wasn’t old enough to be able to buy a beer,” Neil said. “So you can go over there fighting but I wasn’t capable enough of drinking a beer here, as the drinking age was 21.” In June this year Australia held a national service, which Neil attended, to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Operation Overlord, including the Battle of Long Khanh. Operation Overlord began on 5 June 1971, when Australian troops were deployed to prevent the enemy from gaining a foothold in Phuoc Tuy Province.
“I went down to Canberra for the reunion,” Neil said. “We had to get special permission from the government to go into a different province to chase the North Vietnamese. “So the friendship stays there because if you’re relying on them to look after you, and they’re relying on you to look after them, you get to know each other pretty well,” he said. The Battle of Long Khanh saw three Australians killed and numerous others wounded, with a further seven Australians killed five days later. Vietnam Veterans’ Day is a day to commemorate their service and sacrifice, and reflect on the cost of operations like Overlord to
those involved and their families back home. “It’s good to get back with your mates again to have a few beers,” Neil said. A small group in the Noosa community will come together to pay respect on Vietnam Veterans’ Day on Wednesday 18 August at Tewantin-Noosa RSL. Due to the current Covid 19 restrictions, the parade has cancelled with only a small gathering at RSL Memorial Park followed by a wreath laying. The Diggers’ Bar will be open from 5pm to 6pm with the Sub Branch shouting drinks for Vietnam Veterans wearing medals, and their partners. This will be followed by a private ticketed function in the RSL Club.

Plan to cap moorings A shake up of Noosa River’s boat moorings is the aim of the newly-formed Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee (NRSAC) which submitted a list of recommendations to Noosa Council this week. A limit on anchoring to a maximum of 28 days a year, moorings capped at 105 vessels, a move to eco-friendly moorings and the phasing out of permanent live-aboards were their key recommendations. A survey of boats on Noosa River and Noosa Waters showed there had been a 20 per cent increase from 2006 to 2021, that 10 per cent were in poor or derelict condition and almost 40 per cent were moored on unregulated anchors or in intertidal areas. The survey recorded a total of 1085 vessels, including 904 powerboats and tinnies, 110 sailboats and 71 houseboats. NRSAC recommendations apply only to privately-owned recreational vessels but not to registered commercial vessels including chartered houseboats and commercial fishing vessels. The problem has arisen due to the lack of historical regulations, allowing vessels to be permanently at anchor on the Noosa River, it said. The advisory committee is made up of a diverse group of river stakeholders and includes representatives from Noosa Council and Maritime Safety Queensland. MSQ has expressed in-principal support to take the proposals forward, noting that any introduction of new provisions would require amendment to the Schedules of the Transport Infrastructure (Waterways Management Regu-

A broad-reaching public consultation program would be fundamental to this pathway. During committee meetings, MSQ also raised the possibility of working with Council to pursue a proposal for a Marine Zone under the Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Regulation 2016 (TOMSR) which focuses on the management of water activity behaviours from a safety perspective. The introduction of a Marine Zone might be the most useful vehicle to prevent anchoring near the shore in areas that are desirably retained for bathers in the Noosa River. MSQ have advised they will provide a detailed outline of a program for consultation, review and refinement of proposed regulations at the NRSAC meeting scheduled this month.

Noosa police thank you Noosa police have thanked the community for their support during lockdown as Queensland Police continue to support Queensland Health during the Covid pandemic. Officers from Noosa, Coolum, Eumundi, Cooroy and Pomona are continuing secondments to quarantine hotels, state border crossings and airports, while officers maintain and continue to perform regular policing duties. Noosa Police officer in charge, Senior Sergeant Ben Carroll said the vast majority of residents have been doing the right thing. “Our compliance strategy is one of compassion, education and compliance, and we are grateful for the wider Noosa community’s ongoing support as we all work together to get through this very difficult period in our history,” Snr Sgt Carroll said. Since the commencement of the pandemic police have issued over 80,000 quarantine notices and more than 55,000 international passengers have been processed into Queensland. About 20,000 domestic flights have been met with police processing over 1.54 million passengers of which 40,000 passengers were issued quarantine notices and 2500 people were refused entry into Queensland at domestic airports. Police have intercepted and processed over 1.3 million vehicles at road borders where 20,000 quarantine notices have been issued with 24,000 people turned around from entering Queensland. Police have been kept busy as 40,000 quarantine checks have been conducted at homes or businesses. In addition, there have been over 16,000 investigations conducted in response to reports from the public of people or businesses not abiding by the Chief Health Officer’s directions. For a state of over five million people, police have only issued 2800 penalty notices during that entire period and prosecuted only 395 offenders for Covid breaches.
Noosa police have thanked the community for their support during lockdown. This includes a 34-year-old Sunshine Beach man, who has been issued a notice to appear for the offence of stealing after he allegedly removed Noosa Shire Council Covid signage from a Sunrise Beach playground. Police will allege the man recorded himself on his mobile phone removing council signage from the park, which indicated it was closed due to Covid, and throwing it into a bin. He will appear in the Noosa Magistrates Court on 24 August 2021. On another occasion, police have taken ac-
tion against a Coolum Beach business for failing to comply with Covid-19 directions after refusing to wear a mask and failing to provide details to police. A 38-year-old Ninderry woman was arrested and taken into custody after she allegedly failed to provide information requested by officers. It is also alleged the woman and her employees were requested to wear a facemask multiple times by police. Officers allege they attended the Birtwill Street cafe and requested
the woman to wear a mask and returned three times the next day with the same request. It will further be alleged she refused on each occasion and became verbally abusive towards officers. The business owner has been issued with two infringements for fail to comply with Covid-19 direction. She was fined $1378 for a contravene requirement charge while a 34-year-old employee was also issued with an infringement of $206 for failing to wear a mask.

WE’RE VACCINATED, ARE YOU? NOOSATODAY.COM.AU
Roll up and get vaccinated Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Noosa Today are urging Noosa residents to get vaccinated. The call comes as council and Noosa Today join forces to launch a community campaign, “We’re vaccinated, are you” to encourage as many locals as possible to book a COVID vaccination. Across the community from sporting legends to emergency services officers, business leaders and politicians are stepping up to get the jab and are encouraging others to do the same and sharing their experience in our newspaper and on social media. Local heroes including Noosa Today associate editor Phil Jarratt and Mayor Clare Stewart have stepped up to be vaccinated. Mayor Stewart said our best defence against the virus was for people to get vaccinated. “Getting vaccinated is our way out of Covid and protects our loved ones, community and businesses,” she said. “If we want to return to ’normal’, a large percentage of our population is required to be vaccinated, so I call on everyone to join me in the fight to get our community back on its feet.” Businessman Ralph Rogers said while for some it’s a challenge to accept our only way out is vaccination, history has proven this point. “Smallpox, polio, diphtheria, to name a few, were killers until vaccination was discovered,” he said. “A lot has been said about the two choices of vaccine we have. Both, on very rare occasions, have had a side effect. A medical professional recently showed me statistics that prove women have a greater chance from blood clots from taking the contraceptive pill than from AstraZeneca. “Pfizer, in very rare cases, has been linked to heart inflammation. Both these side effects are extremely rare. Catching Covid is not a maybe, it’s guaranteed and it’s never going away. Just

24 hours, second jab, absolutely nothing. “We have been lucky in Noosa but our luck will run out. We are a tourist town and sooner or later the borders will open internationally. We need to be ready. For the sake of our busi-
nesses (many of whom are independent operators with everything mortgaged to fund their business), for the sake of your neighbours, your family, your friends - let’s just get this done. “I know within our community there are those who think vaccination is not the answer - and I respect their personal choices - but with the evidence worldwide and historically, I don’t think there is any choice. Personally I am relieved that my family has the best protection possible.” This year 175 people infected with the Covid-19 virus have been admitted to ICU. Of those, 168 had not been vaccinated and the remaining seven had received only one dose of the vaccine. No one fully vaccinated has been in ICU. Cr Stewart hoped putting community faces to our vaccination campaign would be a catalyst to increasing local vaccination rates. “With more cases of the Delta variant emerging, we need to guard against complacency and we’re relying on everyone doing their bit,” The We’re vaccinated - Are you? Campaign features Olympic legend Dawn Fraser, Noosa businessman Ralph Rogers, Noosa Police Senior Sergeant Ben Carroll, QFES Station Officer Rob Frey, Barb Sheriff from Tewantin Traders Association and many more. Mayor Stewart received her first vaccination at Sunny Street vaccination hub this week. “The staff at Sunny Street are doing a wonderful job and are really helpful in providing as much information about the vaccine,” she said. Noosa Council Community Services director Kerri Contini thanked the local legends for putting their faces to such an important message. “This wouldn’t be possible without the support of those who agreed to be part of it,” she said. “We simply want to create a movement towards vaccination,” Ms Contini said.

WE’RE VACCINATED, ARE YOU? NOOSATODAY.COM.AU
Whose life is at risk? By Phil Jarratt Like just about every aspect of living, even sleeping, vaccination comes with risk. In the case of Covid-19 vaccines, the estimated risk of serious side-effects, including death, ranges from seven in a million (the Mayo Clinic in the US) to one in 100,000 (Australian Academy of Science). In statistical terms, a one-in-a-million chance of negative consequences of an action, including death, is expressed as a “micromort”. So the Mayo estimates that Covid vaccines expose you to seven micromorts and the Australian Academy estimates 10. On the other hand, figures from Cambridge University researchers place the risk of Covid death, while negligible amongst the young, at 10,000 micromorts (or 1 per cent) in our 50s, increasing to 150,000 (15 per cent) over 80. For anyone over 50 who can add up, vaccination is a no-brainer. How do the vaccination risks compare with everything else we don’t think twice about doing? Well, sitting in a chair exposes us to 1.3 micromorts, while falling off the chair increases it to 13. Should we stop sitting in chairs in case we fall off them? And, if you’re a water person, the risk of being killed by a shark carries 0.125 of a micromort, while the risk of drowning while swimming is 12 micromorts. I don’t know a single surfer who would allow the knowledge of these risks get in the way of a good wave. But strangely, even perversely, some of the biggest risk-takers I know have chosen to focus on this infinitesimal risk to ramp up the most inane and downright dangerous campaigns against getting the jab, invoking everything from human rights to recycled conspiracy theories about global domination. One, a highprofile surfer who lives on a safe haven hill in a country where Covid deaths have just gone past 100,000, messaged me this week: “We are currently in an extremely dangerous situation right now with what is going on. We have been conned on a massive scale. I’ve been looking very closely what’s going on, and have come across an incredible amount of information since this virus agenda has started. What’s being revealed is that science has been corrupted for a very long time and that many things that we have taken to be scientifically proven facts are actually complete deceptions.” My friend - and he is a friend, and I hope somehow remains so - sent me a link to the authoritative source he’s been looking closely at, which turns out to be BitChute, an alt-media website whose recent authoritative posts include “Passing out at vax center - how many red flags at jab sites until people wake up?”, “Massive victory in Canadian court proves Covid-19 a hoax”, and “Covid-positive illegal immigrants released into US”. This absurd repository of hate-speak and lies dispenses “inside information” to the gullible and the willing at a frightening rate, most of which is available only until YouTube catches up with it and deletes which, of course, is then seen by the believers to be further proof of the conspiracy. For me the saddest aspect of this is that the people who spread this drivel claim the right to free speech, and yet what they are doing is in

fact putting our faith in that basic tenet of democracy at risk. If my friend on the hill claiming his right to freedom of speech to spread this garbage causes one person to say no to vaccination, then I’m calling him an abuser of that wonderful and hard-fought right. It also alarms me that the anti-vax debate is cutting deep into families. Another friend, a local, wrote to me: “My three children are all part of the anti-vaxer movement. It’s created a schism in our family I don’t think will ever be resolved. It hurts.” He continued: “They believe they’re right and our 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 ongoing health issues with chronic disease.” That’s from the heart, and I feel his pain, but no doubt somewhere on BitofShit (or whatever it’s called) there’ll be an “expert opinion” refuting all of the above, but be quick, before YouTube pulls it down for misleading and dangerous information. And then there’s this, from legendary former mayor Bob Abbot, posted on social media last week: “I’m in total support of everyone’s right to choose to vaccinate or not. There are times though, when one is making that decision, where there is more involved than just weighing up the risks and benefits for oneself.” Bob, the erudite bushie, goes on to describe 120 years of Australia’s culture of mateship and sacrifice, best exemplified at Anzac Cove, and concludes: “In this current crisis we certainly see people who are willing to put themselves at
Finding humour in a sad situation. risk to assist in protecting the society or community they live in. So yes, I do support freedom of choice regarding the CV jab, a choice which all those people fought to give us the right to have. My only plea is to think about what gave us that privilege, and let’s not forget our society when we make that decision. Let’s also consider what others have done over all those years past to protect us, some making
the ultimate commitment, and indeed what thousands of everyday Australians are doing right now to make us as safe as we can be.” I can’t state the case any better than Bob has in those beautiful words, other than to say that whatever your personal views on vaccination are, this is not the time to exercise them. Leave them at the door. Walk in and get the frickin’ jab. Now!

Top gong for Biosphere The Noosa Biosphere Reserve has been awarded the coveted UNESCO Michel Batisse Award for excellence in biosphere reserve management thanks to the Keep it in Kin Kin project. Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) executive coordinator Sharon Wright prepared the application in January, putting forward the Keeping it Kin Kin project as an exemplary case study of people living in harmony with nature. The application was endorsed and submitted to UNESCO by the Australian Man and the Biosphere National Committee. “We are incredibly proud to have won this international accolade. It is a first for Australia
and highlights the Noosa community’s dedication to improving and protecting our natural environment,” Ms Wright said. “This award is the highest UNESCO accolade for biosphere reserve management and truly represents what makes Noosa special - our people. The award recognises the importance of community groups, governments and individuals working together to find local solutions to the global challenges of sustainable development.” Keeping it in Kin Kin is an erosion remediation project improving agricultural productivity, waterway health and water quality within
the Noosa Catchment. “I would like to thank Phil Moran and the wonderful team at Noosa & District Landcare who implemented the Keeping it Kin Kin project, and project partners Noosa Shire Council, Healthy Land & Water, Noosa Parks Association, The Thomas Foundation, Kin Kin Community Group, Noosa Integrated Catchment Association and Country Noosa,” Ms Wright said. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the international award recognised the efforts of everyone involved. “It’s a great achievement,“ she said. Noosa and District Landcare Group gen-
eral manager Phil Moran said they were very pleased to have played a leading role in this outstanding project. “The number of partners involved reflects the community and organisational buy-in the project has attracted,“ he said. The Foundation will launch its inaugural Noosa Biosphere Awards program this month to celebrate excellence in sustainability as part of the 50th anniversary of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme. Winners will be recognsied at the Noosa Biosphere Gala on 2 November. For more information, visit noosabiosphere.org.au
Call for new directors The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation is calling for expressions of interest to join its volunteer board of directors. Chairman Rex Halverson said the Foundation was seeking suitably qualified individuals to fill several upcoming vacancies on its board. “It is anticipated that toward the end of 2021 several positions on the board will become vacant as some present directors are nearing the end of their term,” he said. “We are interested to hear from highly-motivated individuals with an interest in helping to shape the future of the Foundation and support our innovative projects that promote a sustainable and healthy natural environment and economy for the Noosa community.” The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) is a not-for-profit organisation established by the Noosa Shire Council in 2015. Its role is to manage a charitable trust and support projects and initiatives that align with the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme,
in the Noosa Shire. “The NBRF works with stakeholders, experts and community groups to identify, test and action big ideas that provide local solutions to the challenges of managing the sustainable use of Noosa’s land, water and wildlife assets as well as initiatives that support a sustainable local economy,” Mr Halverson said. “Some of the exciting initiatives currently under development include expanding wild koala conservation and research activities, instigating a marine species protection pilot and implementing new bioacoustics research to learn more about our Glossy Black-Cockatoo populations.” The NBRF recently signed a new four-year partnership agreement with Noosa Shire Council and a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of the Sunshine Coast and is developing multiple PhD projects. “Looking forward into 2022, the Foundation aims to focus on increasing its social,

The NBRF is committed to diversity and gender equity on the board. Candidates with experience in corporate finance, legal, governance or fundraising with links to philanthropic organisations or individuals are being sought.

Street jewel shines Hastings Street has long been a jewel of the region but the current demand for commercial space is like nothing local real estates have ever seen before. Border closures, interstate migration and unprecedented interest from businesses keen to set up shop in regional areas have set the scene for an altered commercial mix across Noosa’s prime Hastings Street strip. Most current enquiries fielded by Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North are for hospitality premises including restaurants, bars and hole-in-the-wall type cafe operations. “One of the reasons food has bounced back before retail is simply the ability to get stock,” Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North co-principal Paul Butler said. “Food has experienced a better consistency of supply throughout the pandemic which retail has struggled to achieve due to dependence on stock from overseas. “As a food bowl and food destination, Noosa attracts some of the best chefs and restaurateurs which builds our reputation and fuels demand.” Between 2015 and 2021, food retailing along the strip increased from 26.38 per cent to 34.26 per cent, according to a study conducted by Ray White Commercial. The street now boasts 18 cafes and restaurants, 12 specialised food retailing outlets such as delis, and two supermarkets. Current opportunities include the well-positioned 5/30 Hastings Street, which was previously home to O-Ren Brewhouse, with two strong contenders vying for the space.

Clothing and soft goods have always dominated Hastings Street and, despite the impact of online retailing and hospitality sector growth, continues to occupy 37 per cent of floor space -- a drop of just four per cent compared with 2015. Over the past two months, Mr Butler said there had been significant interest from luxury brands seeking to enter the market. “National and international retail operators are pinpointing positions they may be interested in and proactively searching for opportunities,” he said. “These operators are pursuing a regional presence to capitalise on the tourism boom. “Combined with the increase in permanent population, they’re now seeing Noosa as an economically viable location.” “International brands are looking for highend properties with the potential for quality fit-outs.
“They know that to offer a great retail experience, they have to create that luxury feeling, so substantial volumes, high ceilings and a central location are essential. “Good quality tenants are out there looking for good quality properties.” Mr Butler said while many seek a tenancy opportunity, others are willing to purchase to secure a more permanent presence. He said Hastings Street had always been tightly held. “Assets on average only come to market every 12.74 years, with some held for more than 30 years,” he said. “While there has been little transactional evidence this year, good premises continue to sell in the sub-4.75 per cent yield range for vendors. “This year we have seen several new leases in the 35-200sqm range, with food retailing achieving premium rates. “Recent deals represent net face rents around $2500 to $3750 per square metre with an average term of five years.”
Rates help Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart says help is at hand for residents and businesses facing difficulty paying their rates due to the impact of the Covid-19 lockdown. “We’re here to help where we can and that includes offering flexible rates payment options,” Cr Stewart said. “Council offers pensioner discounts and instalment options to help make paying rates more manageable for Noosa ratepayers,” the Mayor said. “I urge our ratepayers to make the most of these options. Our staff are also on hand over the phone during the lockdown to answer enquiries. “For those who do plan to pay the full amount upfront, make sure to take advantage of the August 20 earlybird discount to save yourself part of the cost.” Payments can be paid by credit card, direct debit and BPay. Council’s customer service call centre can assist both business and residential ratepayers with information about hardship arrangements and payment options. Call (07) 5329 6500 or visit noosa. qld.gov.au/about-council/rates-levies Mayor Stewart said Council was also working with a special business roundtable subgroup to investigate potential support arrangements for Noosa businesses should the lockdown continue beyond Sunday. “We’ll consider a range of options to help businesses through this tough time. Deferral of rates is one of the options we may look at,” the Mayor said. “Lockdowns and financial assistance are chiefly state and federal government responsibilities, but we will again do what we can to support our community, just as we did last year with business subsidies, waived fees, fasttracked payments, advocacy and other assistance.”

Mayor’s Ball rescheduled The snap lockdown in SE Queensland threw ‘Mingle with the Mayor’ Ball organisers scrambling to minimise fallout from the Government’s decision. Organising committee spokesperson Josanne Falla said a hard-working team was already at the Sofitel when the shock news came through. “The working party had been at the venue setting up the day before and arrived early on the Saturday morning to put the finishing touches to the 150-seat ballroom,” Ms Falla said. “We had spectacular bunches of fresh flowers on each table - sound checks were underway, the sun was shining and everything was shaping up beautifully until the lockdown announcement came. “It threw us into a spin because we had to consider that there were also 150 meals partially prepared. We knew if we didn’t act immediately the food would be wasted.” Quick thinking and a conversation with Sofitel management saw a donation to local charity Urban Angels Community Kitchen so they could cook meals to feed vulnerable people across the Sunshine Coast. “Then the team banded together selling bunches of flowers to Hastings Street workers and passers-by. All in all, it wasn’t a disastrous result. We fed the needy and recouped some of our outlays. We just need to sell more raffle tickets now to make up for it,” Ms Falla said. SunnyKids Cooroy Family Support Centre, the major beneficiary of funds raised at the Ball, has seen an alarming increase in people seeking help since Covid started. General manager Kathleen Hope said 1598 individuals reached out for help in the last year - and that’s just in one region of the Noosa Shire. “We can’t lose sight of the fact that domestic violence offenders don’t take a holiday during

They’ve done their bit - now it’s up to the rest of us to dig deep and show our gratitude to help make the event a success,” Ms Falla said.
Here’s a sample of the items available to bid on or buy a raffle ticket in: holidays; restaurants and in-home chef packages; hampers; diamond earrings; helicopter flights; health, wellness and sport packages; artwork and family photography; handmade jewellery; a radio advertising package; a Peugeot Django 150 Scooter or a 1.21 carat, round brilliant cut diamond. “But probably the most unique donation of all - we’ll even sell your house,” Ms Falla said. “As lead sponsor, Noosa4Sale Principal Alex Harris is donating a full real estate sale campaign at absolutely no cost, no cap, no strings attached.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone to sell a property for a fraction of the real cost. If you’re thinking about selling a Noosa property any time over the next 12 months, or simply want to help those most in need, make sure you place a bid or pledge an amount. And remember, the higher the amount bid, the more money raised for SunnyKids,” she said. Bidding online is open to anyone, anywhere.

Taking history to the shire Two old surfing mates have joined forces to take conversations about Noosa’s past, present and future to the far-flung communities of the shire. Councillor Tom Wegener first met Phil Jarratt when as a young Californian longboarder he rocked into town to show a surf movie during the Noosa Festival of Surfing. The only problem was he hadn’t consulted the director of the festival. “I was ropeable,” says Phil, now Noosa Today associate editor and author of Place of Shadows, The History of Noosa. “But we sorted it out, he turned out to be a good bloke, a great surfer and surfboard artisan, and he married the gorgeous and talented morning DJ on our local radio station. The rest is history.” And history is what has drawn the friends of more than 20 years together to present a “Communities Tour” that Cr Wegener hopes will get people from all over the shire to engage in a conversation about our history, our present, and what we want for our future. He says: “Phil’s Noosa history, Place of Shadows, certainly enlightens us about Noosa’s amazing journey, but it ends by asking almost as many questions as it answers, and that’s what I wanted to explore by taking those ideas out into the Shire and sharing stories with the locals.” Tom and Phil’s Noosa Communities Tour will be a pop-up event at venues around Noosa Shire, featuring a prominent guest speaker and a discourse between audience and presenters. The first event will be at Annie’s Books, Peregian Beach, from 6pm on Wednesday, 18 August, one of Annie’s much-loved footpath wine and cheese evenings. Guest speaker Council chief executive officer Brett de Chastel will give a colourful behind-the-scenes account of the battle for de-amalgamation, and how Noosa Council has emerged from those shadows, followed by a screening of the Place of Shadows video.

Exploring Tinder use Psychology researchers at USC Australia are aiming to find out why so many Australians on the popular dating app Tinder are not using it to find dates. Senior Lecturer in Psychology Dr Rachael Sharman said the research was prompted by international studies revealing that up to 80 per cent of Tinder users had never met a match offline. “While Tinder is a dating app that claims to have made millions of matches, global research shows that a surprising proportion of people are not using it for its intended purpose,” Dr Sharman said. She said the USC study could shed light on whether Tinder was a ‘‘hook-up” app in this country, given another international finding that as few as four per cent of Tinder users reported having had more than two one-night stands as a result of using the app. “Previous international studies found that people are more likely to use Tinder for entertainment or socialising rather than seek a relationship or casual sex,” Dr Sharman said. Despite additional challenges to meeting in person due to Covid-19 lockdowns and social distancing, 2020 was the busiest year in Tinder’s history. “Australia is a major contributor to Tinder revenues, holding sixth place by country, so we want to better understand the motives of Australian users.” Dr Sharman said the research aimed to support the safety and wellbeing of users on Tinder, a Match.com-owned app now operating in 190 countries. “Concern has been raised about negative

Dr Sharman, tutor and Psychology Honours graduate Jessica Blower and Honours student Sherry Barkase are now seeking participants for the anonymous, confidential, online survey.

Students learn keys to driver awareness By Abbey Cannan Rotary Clubs of Noosa and Cooroy have once again spent the day out at The House With No Steps delivering the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) program to students. Year 11 students from the Good Shepherd Lutheran College took part in the potentially lifesaving program, which is offered to schools and students for free. Head of senior school Karen Lunn said the program was fantastic. “I was really impressed with the quality of the presentations, with the presenters all clearly very passionate about delivering ever-so-important messages to our students about road safety,” Ms Lunn said. “The students commented on how impactful it was to actually see the stopping distances at the demonstration, as we don’t really get a true sense of this when we are driving or passengers. “They found the ’I in Drive’ helpful, as it turned their attention on the things that they can take charge of in order to reduce

risks, such as being aware of the importance to speak up when needed. “Overall, the day provided plenty of opportunity to students to grow and learn about safe driving practises at a time when they are starting to become road users. “I do believe that Year 11 is the perfect time for this program for this reason as they are receptive and ready to take on these very important messages.” Rotary has been delivering this program to students for more than 10 years, covering the catchment area from Cooroy all along the coast and down to and including Coolum. This year 120 students and six teachers have attended the program. The out of school event is a full day excursion running over five hours and is divided into six segments covering speed and stopping, ‘drive so others survive’, mind matters, road choices, crash investigators, and ‘I in drive’ - covering your personality.

The ZEN team interviews THORSTEN KELS, Cooroibah local and solar/battery owner.
Batteries lead charge What made you decide to get batteries for your solar system? Over the years we had a few lengthy power outages at our property in Cooroibah, so when we started to plan the extension of our solar system we decided to try and become more independent from the grid and to use as much of the electricity generated by the system in our house. Normally we would both spend the day away from home at work while our solar system was happily generating electricity and exporting it to the grid. In the evening when we got back we would have to buy the same amount of electricity back from the grid at a much higher rate. How long have you had the system and how has it been running so far? We were quite early adopters and installed the system in mid-2015. Our batteries are made up of individual Lithium Ion cell blocks, so it’s not one of the modern integrated systems that can just be attached to a wall. It has been running for six years so far and we only had a few minor hiccups that were quickly fixed by the manufacturer. The system is powering most of our property, but we’re still connected to the grid as a backup if we have several cloudy days in a row. It would be great to completely disconnect, but our system is not quite large enough, at least not yet.
Did you have to adapt your lifestyle to life with a battery? Because we are still connected to the grid we probably didn’t have to change our lifestyle as much as we did, but we have taken it as a bit of a challenge to maximise our self-consumption and to get the most out of the system. In our daily life that meant that we had to shift things around a bit so that we use most of our electricity during daylight hours. In the beginning it was a bit tricky, but after a while it just becomes automatic behaviour. The washing machine and the dishwasher are set on delayed start so that they run during the day and finish when we get home. The irrigation pumps and the hot water booster are on timers that switch off automatically when the sun sets and we have converted our cooking to gas. The last, really big challenge is the oven because we can’t always run it during the day and it can use up half of our battery capacity in two hours. Was it worth the investment and would you buy it again? That’s not an easy question to answer. If you just look at the economic side of things, we probably bought it a few years too early. We are on track to break even after about 12 years and so far the battery has only lost a few per cent of its capacity. We hope that it will last for at least 15 years. After that we’ll have to replace
Green Caffeen helps kick single-use coffee cups By Abbey Cannan What started as a tiny movement amongst mates has grown into a country-wide crusade, and a Noosa marine scientist is encouraging the community to jump on board. Founded by Damien Clarke and Martin Brooks in 2018, Green Caffeen is Australia’s largest swap and go reusable cup network, with the mission to help Aussies kick the single-use coffee cup habit by making it easy (and free) to be green. Green Caffeen south east Queensland ambassador Chad Buxton said the initiative was another great opportunity for simple behaviour change that anyone could do. “Noosa is known for its commitment to the environment,” he said. “It has declared a climate emergency, has zero-emissions targets, does a lot to protect the biosphere and surfing reserves, and was the trial community for single-use plastics reductions in Queensland which I ran. “It is a supportive community and Noosa once again has the chance to lead these efforts for a reuse revolution, which addresses multiple Noosa efforts for our environment.” Chad said single use plastics was an issue that affected us all. “As a marine scientist and father of two young children, I want to protect our oceans and environment for them and for future generations,” he said. “I hear many great stories daily from community members trying to take simple and impactful actions and I strive to empower them and provide those opportunities through my work. Despite multiple Covid lockdowns, the last month has been the most active ever for Green Caffeen participation.”

the battery cells which will hopefully be much cheaper by then. Newer battery systems have already come down in price and they are much easier to integrate with solar systems now. On the other hand, the battery came in really handy after the 2019 bushfire in Cooroibah. When we returned to our property after the fire
the freezers were still running and for several days we were the only house with electricity and water. Yes, we would definitely buy the battery again and with the newer, cheaper technology we would probably get a bigger one to improve our self consumption even more.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP
Noosa MP Sandy Bolton
Stay kind during Covid The July lockdown, and, as of writing, the recent extended lockdown to our region, brought more traumatised businesses, residents who can ill-afford to lose a day’s pay, and confusion over directives and how to deal with the Check-in QLD app. To all, including our incredible businesses, who have battled on through this with a smile, even when hurting themselves, you have our sincere gratitude, and we ask all residents to be understanding of what others may be going through. The lockdown also fostered a barrage of questions surrounding the for/against the vaccine, concerns over mandates as well as supply, and is what governments are doing across the world legal? In the hundreds of emails, links, and clips sent, there has been a variety of claims that the wearing of masks, lockdowns and other constraints are against the constitution and human rights. These ‘shares’ were heavy on criticism, peppered with misinformation and ‘misconstructions’ from credible reports, and light on solutions except to ‘open up’. In amongst, there was excellent fodder for further thought and action, especially around the power of the human body and mind, and the responsibility to keep them in the best shape as part of developing strong immune systems. What I love more than anything is an enquiring mind. Questioning what is happening is healthy, as that is part of making informed decisions for oneself and your family. It engenders self-responsibility, furthers knowledgegathering and creates good discussions surrounding our world. 22 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 August, 2021
What is not healthy is the volume of information that is misconstrued to suit arguments. When personal choice is challenged inappropriately, labels applied such as vaxxer/ anti-vaxxer, and viewpoints are put forward disrespectfully, including online bullying to contest directives or perceptions, it diminishes credibility and trust in each other. Understandably, there are frustrations and serious ramifications that are unbelievably stressful for so many due to inconsistencies and ‘gaps’ in decision making, poor communications and clarity around valid questions. Be assured, I write to the Premier and Chief Health Officer (CHO) regarding this and offer suggestions to alleviate some of the load of those wearing the brunt of these shortfalls. As we knew from the start, there was no roadmap and the journey would be fraught with changing information and strategies. However, that does not provide license to direct that anger to those around you. This contributes to increased angst, isolation, and declining mental health for many in our community. It divides, instead of cementing, the unity required to support each other as we have now for some 18 months, which the very vast majority of Noosans have committed to, regardless of viewpoint, and is deeply appreciated. You will often hear the term ‘social contract’. The official Wiki definition is ‘an implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits, for example by sacrificing some individual freedom for state protection’. And yes, that requires us to follow rules and regulations as part of sharing space,
which we may not like or support. Road speed limits, when you can mow your lawn, putting our pooches on leashes, or yes, wearing a mask unless you are unable to do so, are just some examples! Arguments about the effectiveness and advice from the medical and scientific panels who have the responsibility of getting us to the other side of this ‘bug’, and whether governments should be allowed to do lockdowns, takes the focus away from where it should be. The how, and when we can see an end to these lockdowns is key. The quicker we can get to that ‘magic’ place, the quicker we can get back to normal where this, and other viruses into our future, can be managed without disruption. For our inquiring minds, this requires an element of trust. Both in ourselves, to selfmanage our physical and mental health and the decisions surrounding that, and in those with expertise in the realm of viruses who guide decisions made by governments across the world. Globally, as countries open up when they have hit those vaccination percentages, no doubt so shall we. And it will then be up to us, as individuals, to be responsible for keeping ourselves safe, and to make decisions, accordingly, including when to hunker down if we are vulnerable. Whilst scientists/commentators/experts debate the difference between vaccine and gene therapy, the who and how it happened, and the failings of decision makers across the world, we now have this bug as part of our world, and that we have capacity to argue and question protein spikes, mRNA and
PCR testing, is an indication of how well we are actually doing. We live in an amazing country, with some incredibly smart people, so let’s keep the questions and conversations vibrant, not vicious. And let’s use this time to practice getting mentally ‘fit’, as part of the journey forward, which we hope won’t incorporate more lockdowns, but could. Knowledge shared at the Tewantin Country Women’s Association (CWA) AGM on how to do this, included acknowledging our cup as half full versus empty, increasing physical exercise, having gratitude, meditating and doing some of those wonderful breathing exercises that we have available at sandybolton.com/ noosa360 As well, give time to volunteering when we come out of lockdown! The benefits for recipient and giver are enormous, including a good dose of feel-good chemicals to pep us up. Many organisations currently need you, including the Red Cross who provide visitors to those in our aged care facilities who have nobody to sit, listen, peruse their photo albums and maybe take a stroll. When you do good, it feels good! And let’s plan for that day in the future when we can host ‘hug’ (yes, hug, not bug!) parties across our electorate. Really big ones, Noosa country and beach style, where we can all dance like no one is watching! And I will bring my furry pooch Bear who is now three months old, but by then will be quite the man.

There are few shows that can settle in comfortably anywhere. When it comes to the singing juggernaut The Voice, fans will follow wherever it wanders, and so will the stars. At its new home on Seven, the mega reality TV show has hardly needed to find its groove. New coach Jessica Mauboy brings enthusiasm and candour, while familiar mentors Rita Ora (The Voice UK) and Keith Urban (The Voice Australia season one) join returning coach Guy Sebastian (above) with their own particular self-assured presence. As always, veteran host Sonia Kruger scores all the points for pizzazz and style. Tonight, the most unpredictable, affecting slice of the show, the blind auditions, continue.
The antics, pranks, tomfoolery and occasional crime fighting of the 99th precinct at the NYPD are coming to a close. Tonight, the cop comedy premieres its eighth and final season; it’s an impressive feat considering the show got the chop but came back from the dead after season five, thanks in part to its steadfast fanbase who petitioned for the Andy Samberg-led comedy to be revived. There are even more gags and hijinks as the cast, including Andre Braugher as Raymond Holt, and writers make the most of their final 10 episodes but, in an admirable and gutsy move, the issues of the Black Lives Matter movement and the worldwide pandemic are traversed.

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU
Statistics Muddle In her article ‘STAs are not the enemy’ (NT 30/7), Councillor Lorentson mistakenly repeats an erroneous misunderstanding of the Regional Movers Index (RMI) referred to by council’s development assessment manager, a misunderstanding also repeated by Councillor Wilkie at the July Ordinary Meeting and on Facebook.The statistic is purported to evidence that “Noosa has had the largest growth of inward migration from capitals among all the LGAs in Australia (49 per cent)”. Actually, the Index does not say anything about how many people have migrated. It just measures Noosa’s portion of all CBA customers who change their addresses from capital cities to regional areas. And how much that portion has increased or decreased year on year.The latest RMI report indicated that Noosa’s share of all CBA customer movements from capitals to regions was about 0.7 per cent in the March 2020 quarter compared with 1 per- cent in the March 2021 quarter. That was a 49 per cent difference in the small percentage. Percentages of percentages always sound like a lot, easily leading to exaggerated misperceptions. Meanwhile the RMI report also states that in the March quarter the Gold Coast had the greatest share of CBA region-bound customers: 11 per cent (a 17 per cent increase compared with their March 2020 share of movers). And the Sunshine Coast council area attracted a 6 per cent share (a 24 per cent increase). The percentage change in a small percentage is not evidence that Noosa is experiencing a “pandemic driven stampede” or a “housing crisis”.The Regional Australia Institute isn’t doing anyone any favours in not providing its own hard numbers and in reporting percentages of percentages. All it’s doing is perpetuating errors in logic - where real meanings easily get lost and become open to misinterpretation. Noosa Council needs to do some proper research to provide a sound basis for decisionmaking. Ingrid Jackson, Former councillor, Noosaville
Short-Term Lets, Long-Term Problems “We’re a tourist town, anyway”. I hear this from our local politicians all the time and I wonder, does anyone really think that’s all we are? Cr Lorentson used this term last week in an article extolling the virtues of short-term letting in our residential suburbs (Noosa Today 29 July). This got me thinking about how those representing us at the local level have the power to form our hard-won Noosa values on town planning regulations into a commodity that can be bought and sold on a housing market. How about we’re a shire that welcomes visitors which has a dynamic as a desirable place to live, work, and relax based on a long history of resident action to protect our environment? And how about ensuring that running a high-impact small business in residential zones is not okay and never has been! It’s not good enough for our councillors to throw their hands up in the air and let digital disruption creep into the very fabric of our society, our residential suburbs. According to Cr Lorentson, we need to “stop blaming and punishing mum and dad investors with mortgages, families and life plans who are providing short term visitor accommodation.” The mention of mums and

Judy Greaves sent us this image of a burn off on Noosa North Shore this week. If you have a Lenscape please send to newsdesk@noosatoday. com.au dads evokes the renting out of a room or two and this has long been the case. In fact, who doesn’t prefer staying in a B&B compared to a more impersonal hotel, where you get the lie of the land and the resident’s knowledge of the best things to see and do around town. But mum and dad investors aren’t behind the growth of whole-house, short-term lets. These are purchased by investors, taking advantage of planning code gaps and they are proliferating in coastal precincts, blurring the division between tourist accommodation zones and residential ones. If there were proper planning guidelines to protect our residential areas, these investors could do their thing in properly zoned tourist areas, not smack in the middle of suburbs where working families and retirees are trying to live a quiet life, especially on evenings and weekends. Why should this be stolen from them because someone sees lax council planning as an opportunity? Why should they drive home past overflowing garbage bins, through roads blocked with vehicles each side of narrow streets, outside noisy party-houses. It’s clear our infrastructure was not planned with mini-hotel zones in mind, and the remedies are another burden on ratepayers already funding mega Noosa-style tourism infrastructure projects that are sucking money from resident amenity improvements.This is not just a management and control issue, this is a planning issue and planning staff recently decided that turning over nearly half a suburb to STAs is a step too far. Instead of following staff recommendations at the last council meeting, the mayor called for a suspension of standing orders to create a new policy, and then returned to council business to apply this policy to recent STA applications, recommended for refusal by council planning staff, and subsequently voting approvals. Policy on the run, without community consultation, is not optimal. Where residents nearby to these potential STA properties were hoping, if not expecting, their suburb would be protected, they found the retrospective policy applied to their detriment. Cr Wegener wrote recently (NT 22/7), “ ... as we continue to approve STAs in medium density, the amenity will be lost, precedents set, and the expectation of a predominantly residential neighbourhood will be turned into a tourist precinct”. He notes that the town plan hasn’t changed, the residential environment changed, and hence council planners were reacting to the changes in the interests of local residents. As far as shire employment goes, let’s get the statistics straight. There’s been a lot of misinformed discussion recently about the tourism industry being the top employer. It turns out that the employment statistics referred to includes part-time employment. The correct way to compare employment by industry is to compare Full-time Equivalent (FTE) employment. The Council website has the latest data
and it shows construction employs 15.1 per cent of the those working, followed (equally) by Healthcare and Tourism with 12.7 per cent. It’s clear that tourism is getting a disproportional amount of attention from Council at a time when we need more diversification of the economy. Right now, we have our roads clogged with day trippers, the most unsustainable form of visitation imaginable, and the least value to the local economy of all industries. Noosa residents are largely unaware of this issue until their quiet street becomes a tourist zone. Then they find themselves up against the ever larger and more powerful tourism industry lobby, and a council with few laws to protect them, and insufficient resources to control the industry. While Council is now looking to create bylaws to solve some issues like noise level compliance, it can only, at best, ameliorate the situation. Towns and cities in other states have had more support from state governments on short-term lets, but Queensland has stepped back from its responsibility here. The announcement by Council of further studies into affordable house and STA encroachment on residential zones is a good step forward, but kicking the can down the road on this issue with a study is not enough. Planning staff provided a way forward and Council rejected it. It’s time they took a tougher stance. Rod Ritchie, President, Cooroy Area Residents Association
VAD Must Be Legislated In response to Bill Bodkin’s letter, (NT 6/8): I agree with you Bill, appropriate end of life care is every bit as vital as aged care, that’s why Voluntary Assisted Dying Legislation must be passed in our Parliament in September. Unfortunately I would disagree with most things you go on to say. I wonder what experience you have Bill, in caring for those at the end of life? Judging from your comments and understanding of the matter, very little. Firstly, VAD is NOT suicide, as is clearly stated in the proposed Queensland legislation and also legislation in three other Australian States. To speak of suicide rates and VAD in the same context clearly shows your lack of understanding of both suicide and Voluntary Assisted Dying. Secondly, I think everyone by now acknowledges that palliative care is often poorly done in Queensland, particularly in rural and remote areas. Since debating and legislating for VAD in other Australian states, funding for palliative care has increased by millions of dollars in each and every one of those states. Professionals who provide care using evidence-based information, know that palliative care and VAD are not mutually exclusive and can work together to provide excellent end-of-life care.
Thirdly, safeguards, if you study current Victorian data, VAD deaths are being closely monitored by an independent board of professionals. Evidence to date shows no breach of safeguards, in fact, just the opposite is true. People who are eligible for VAD are prevented from accessing the legislation because safeguards are too onerous, research shows people often die before the many safeguards and paperwork can be completed. As with any legislation, should there ever be any abuse of the law, then appropriate penalties apply. In this regard it is no different to any other legislation. As far as better funding and palliative care being the panacea to prevent all suffering, let me tell you, as a registered nurse with over 30 years’ nursing experience, it is not. To provide the best palliative care to every Australian is just pie in the sky rhetoric. Even if it were possible, it could not prevent suffering for all people who accessed it. Many people may not wish to choose end stage palliative care at the terminal phase of their lives. So Bill, if you choose not to use the legislation I respect your choice, please show others the same respect and realise this safe and compassionate legislation allows autonomy and choice for each individual at the end of their lives. Fiona Jacobs, Noosa
End of Life Choices Re Bill Bodkin’s letter (NT 6/8): I could enter into a lengthy dialogue with Mr Bodkin about end of life ’choices’, but I have learned over the years that people who think like that are not to be persuaded, no matter what they are told of the unimaginable suffering some people go through, despite the very best of care......If I were to cite just one or two such examples, this letter would not be printed. Suffice it to say that my end of life choices and decisions are nothing to do with anyone else, just as their choices are nothing to do with me. It’s between each patient and their doctors, no one else. To compare a person, who does not choose to die, does not choose to leave his or her partner, infant, young or adult children, family or friends, - with someone driven to suicide is insulting and hurtful to all concerned, to say the least. I will suggest to him that: “Suicide is what happens when you think there is no other way out. Voluntary Assisted Dying is what happens when you know there is no other way out.” I take heart from the fact that over 85 per cent of Australians have, over the years, become enlightened and compassionate and they agree the law needs changing. They agree that merely breathing is not living. Several states already have legislation in place. Queensland must follow their example and stop the needless suffering. Martina Gaynor, Noosaville

Act On Housing I would have to agree with David Garwood (NT 6/8) that one of the solutions to the affordable housing crisis in Noosa would be to develop the abandoned TAFE site in Tewantin. This has been lying idle for years, and it appears that no one has come up with a suitable plan to use the land. There are lots of examples elsewhere of private enterprise and various levels of government working together to deliver excellent outcomes. With a bit of sensitive planning, there is no reason it can’t work here. Of course, affordable housing is a problem in many areas in Australia, but Noosa has to do more than just talk about it. Bruce Hallett, Tewantin
STA Rental Option Tom Sendro has outlined the agonies and outrage felt by STA house owners at the council’s increase to their rates. He says that Covid has made booking uncertain, and the rates increase is making owners’ lives difficult.I have a solution that is a win/win/win/win for him, those having housing difficulties, neighbours, and restaurant owners. Why not rent out your STA house at an affordable rate? This would give you a steady income, the pleasure of helping someone in need, make the house’s neighbours happy and (bonus) reduce you rates bill. All good. Joy Ringrose, Pomona
Rules For All Up to now I thought that our State Government was doing the right things against coronavirus - fast lockdowns. Only essential workers should work. But I am appalled this time around. All non-essential retail - K-Mart, Rip Curl - to name a few here in Noosa are open and getting customers. All the small retailers are closed. It is a well known fact that the only way this virus will be stopped is by people
staying at home and all non-essential businesses close. The fact that the State Government has allowed these stores to remain open and at the same time to tell us in lockdown that we should not be going there as they are non-essential is unbelievable. Apparently, it’s up to us - the general public - to abide by the rules and we can be fined for going into those stores and purchasing a non-essential item. The Government has closed down hairdressers, gyms etc., but are obviously scared to close down large retail outlets. I am sure the government would not like it if all small retail outlets reopened. I would beg the government to re-think these rules and I would also ask our large stores to do the right thing - which I feel they are certainly not doing at present - and perhaps we should all think carefully whether we should give these stores our custom in the future. Jenny West, Noosa
Homeless Count How many of Australia’s homeless people, “living” on the streets/ park benches/doorways will the 2021 Census find and record? In the 2016 Census,116 427 homeless Australians were recorded. How good’s counting Australia’s homeless people? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach
Ask The People PM Scott Morrison says the Australian public would not be enticed into taking up Labor Leader Anthony Albanese’s offer of $300 as an incentive to get vaccinated. I don’t profess to be an expert on human behavior but to a nation that has been battling to hold their heads above water for two or perhaps more years because of the loss of wages due to lockdowns, which I might respectively point out is not all due to their misgivings, ask them PM and let them speak for themselves.
That’s the main reason for the current disunity. A proud nation that’s having words put into their mouths without the opportunity to put forward their point of view without being labeled troublemakers. Just try asking them for once. My wife and I, like many more, insist we don’t expect any late payment for our vaccines as we had them for age and medical necessity. Ernest Wright, Tewantin
What Lockdown? Lockdown? What lockdown? It would seem that rules of lockdown only apply to some people. The current restrictions which limit travel to 10km from home mean that I am restricted from travelling to Tewantin, Noosa Junction or Noosa Heads from my home in Cooroy. It is now day two of the latest lockdown and yet thousands of vehicles continue to stream up the hill into Cooroy doing 80 in a 60 zone. Can there be so many vehicles with faulty odometers or has the population within the 10km zone tripled in the past few days? Denise Edwards, Cooroy
Intolerable STAs The STA situation is intolerable now. I have friends who are seriously thinking about moving out of the shire. Cr Lorentson’s article (NT 29/7) makes it clear there’s a bleak future for Noosa residents in coastal precincts. This Council will go down as the one that forced ordinary residents out, and I foresee a future where coastal STA enclaves make living in a traditional community impossible. Julia Walkden, Cooroy
Problem Is Material As humans continue their inexorable march of the moron into extinction, if you’re a hor-
ror fan there is real only one show in town, ( A great example wolf hunting by the American sub humans). Quite how we became a species hellbent on self-annihilation is really a serious brain teaser. Analysts sometimes point to the invention of religion. If all your thinking is devoted to the unseen, then perhaps what is seen by your very eyes in irrelevant? A real game changer this one in terms of actions and equal and opposite reactions! Others point to our evolutionary heritage. The chimpanzee is wonderfully robust and clever. A phenotype that was primed for change, for pushing boundaries. Of course, with this stunning heritage came a level of xenophobia that is truly ferocious in its intensity. Also, a seriously gendered world and all the associated fun and games. Perhaps most alarming, the chimpanzee will conduct war with other troops over a grove of luscious nut trees! Rings a bell that one!For me I think that the first two points have been overcome, as evidenced by the serenity and equanimity and intelligence of a lot of Stone Age tribes. No, for me the real problem arrived when we divided up our social groups into the materially privileged and less materially privileged. From this ungodly abomination arose a cellular level of spiritual canker. A feel-it-in-your bone’s hatred and mistrust of those who would claim their superiority over you. And from here springs forth an understandable disregard for cooperative endeavours. A desire to just get through for your kin. A myopic tunnel vision to just somehow survive the depredations of your “rulers“. As I said a totally understandable reaction to the Faustian pact presented to you as “that’s the way it is“.Of course, nature doesn’t work this way. One must live according to her rules. As our rulers have invented rules so idiotic in essence that they do not even acknowledge the existence of nature’s laws .. most humans now ride the car downhill to oblivion, without a second’s thought.Divide and conquer is winning.

Gold rush at Noosa Civic The Unique Jewellery Co, Best Price Gold Buyers director Richard Macdonald will be bringing exquisite antique and estate jewellery, and collectables worth over $1m to Noosa Civic Shopping Centre. The acclaimed writer of Selling Collectables Made Easy will be at Noosa Civic Shopping Centre, opposite Flight Centre, during the week of 16 to 23 August 2021. He and his team will be there to tempt buyers with some of their lovely and unusual items, and Richard has kindly offered to extend his broad knowledge to the people of Noosa by giving free market appraisals of jewellery, all things gold and silver, watches, all coins and banknotes, stamps, medals and military items. Richard hopes to replenish his stock while he is in Noosa. The very items he is happy to appraise for you are the very same that he is happy and hoping to buy from you. As the largest buyer and seller of estate gold and silver jewellery in Australia, he needs to constantly buy items to replace gold jewellery at the same rate it is sold. He is especially after gold chains, both heavy and light, both in good resaleable condition and/or broken. Recycling is close to Richard’s heart and all items sold to him, broken or not, are lovingly restored and then reappear ‘born anew’, looking for a new loving owner. To this end, his shop has a seemingly insatiable appetite for broken gold including yellow and white gold. Richard said, “There is not a single piece of gold we refuse to buy, including old gold nuggets, old wedding and dress rings, single earrings, broken chains and even old gold teeth and fillings, and we are paying top dollar to get it.” Don’t forget to bring your coins, banknotes and stamp collections into Richard and his team. They buy all of these in any condition and have buyers waiting for your collections and even your small tins of coins. “A very old lady brought in a medium size tin of coins, found after her husband died, “ Richard said. “Among the mix of pennies, pre-decimal silver and common coins, I found a gold half sovereign. She literally cried when we told her the tin’s value. She had no idea the coin was even there. It was a wonderful moment to be able to help this lovely lady find some undiscovered wealth.”
Richard Macdonald looks forward to meeting both old and new customers next week at Noosa Civic Shopping Centre. If you are interesting in selling items, then you cannot go past this recently published book, Selling Collectables Made Easy. Richard Macdonald has documented some of his wealth of extraordinary knowledge and provided a series of tips and tricks that will help you not only sell your goods, but know what to look for when buying goods. We all hear the stories of “lucky” people
who buy a piece of costume jewellery for a few dollars, only to find out much later that the piece was worth an extraordinary amount of money. This book will show you what to look for, will pique your curiosity and will provide you with an insight into the world of buying and selling collectables. Be the one of the first people to purchase
this book and Richard will happily sign it for you. This would make a great Christmas gift and is on sale for $15. Richard Macdonald looks forward to meeting all customers both old and new at Noosa Civic Shopping Centre, opposite Flight Centre, next week. For more information call Richard on 0411 413 393.

Fury over Working Holiday Maker visa decision By Jess Baker Advocates of Queensland’s horticulture industry and rural producers have slammed recent changes to the Working Holiday Maker visa conditions that will see support shifted from farmers to hospitality and tourism operators. Immigration Minister Alex Hawke announced on Tuesday 22 June 2021 that Working Holiday Maker visa holders would be able to extend their visas to second and third years by spending 88 days working in the tourism and hospitality sectors in northern, remote and very remote areas of Australia. Previously, Working Holiday Maker visa holders had to undertake farm, mining, construction, bushfire recovery or critical Covid-19 work to be eligible to apply for a second or third visa. Peak industry body for Queensland horticulture Growcom and peak industry representing Queensland’s rural producers AgForce released a joint statement on Wednesday 30 June, saying the move suggested the federal government was “totally divorced from farming reality”. Growcom Chief Executive Stephen Barnard said the change defied logic and countered all available evidence – including analysis from the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries which found the Queensland horticulture sector was short up to 9000 workers. “The requirement to work on farm was 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 August, 2021
there for a reason,” Mr Barnard said. “We won’t dispute the average backpacker would prefer to pour beers in Port Douglas than pick mangos in Mareeba.” Mr Barnard said the decision meant the industry would see an “exodus of workers” from agriculture into pubs, clubs and restaurants when it needs them most. “Which is obviously back to front and suggests the federal government doesn’t take our food security seriously at all, or the welfare of farmers and the viability of their businesses,” he said. “Next time Minister Hawke orders a counter meal at the pub, he should consider where his fresh salad, steamed vegetables, hot chips and steak come from. There’s no point having great service if there’s nothing to eat.” AgForce Chief Executive Michael Guerin said the consequences of the decision could be far reaching if a loss of labour starts limiting the opportunities for growth and expansion in Queensland agriculture. “There are ongoing challenges in finding and retaining Ag labour in rural and remote areas, and this shortage has been made much worse by the Covid pandemic and travel restrictions,” Mr Guerin said. “Grains, for example, rely heavily on skilled workers come harvest time. Skilled workers are safe workers, but this decision by Minister Hawke puts that at risk. “We are calling on the Minister to review his decision immediately and for greater
transparency moving forward on the basis for making changes to what is a long running visa program, upon which entire workforces have been predicated.” The National Farmers’ Federation also expressed anger at the “misguided and rash decision”, claiming Minister Hawke had failed to consult with any agriculture industry bodies. “It’s inconceivable that the Minister would make this decision seemingly with the flick of a pen, with not so much as (a) phone call to farm groups, let alone meaningful consultation with farmers, at a time when agriculture is dealing with an unprecedented workers shortage,” National Farmers’ Federation CEO Tony Mahar said. “Even before Covid-19, farmers faced a significant workforce shortage. The shutting of borders meant a tough situation soon became a critical one. Farmers have been forced to leave produce to rot and some are now making decisions to scale down their operations. “This is exactly what rural and regional communities don’t need.” The federal government recently announced a new Agricultural Visa would be made available to the Association of SouthEast Asian Nations, which would see workers given a three-year visa. Countries included in the visa are Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Singapore, the Phillipines, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Brunei, and Cambodia. Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said
that while most parts of regional Australia were experiencing a labour shortage, remote communities were “particularly desperate”. “The government is trying to not only support these parts of Australia but has also taken pre-emptive steps to support agriculture by establishing a designated Ag visa before the end of the year,” Minister Littleproud said. Granite Belt Growers Association president Angus Ferrier said it was disappointing that the change to Working Holiday Maker visa conditions was made before the designated agricultural visa had been established. “If this change had happened after the Ag visa was established, that would be understandable because we could see a way to maintain a designated workforce for our industry,” Mr Ferrier said. “But that visa is far from established. In the meantime, our industry will look for as many incentives for workers to work in our industry as possible.” Mr Ferrier said another concern the industry had related to the “lack of consultation” with farmers prior to the announcement. “That is perhaps our main concern, that the immigration department didn’t see it fit to have a chat with our industry first,” he said. He said it was important to note that there was no competition between Australia’s agriculture and hospitality industries, as growers “acknowledge their need for a workforce as well”, but the lack of discussion and warning was a concern.

Meeting needs of aged By Erle Levey It’s about creating an inclusive culture. The challenge for Australian society is the way we see our aged as needing to be cared for. Instead they should be regarded as independent, contributing members of society. There is a perception that once we are aged, we are a burden when really seniors are more capable than ever before — they can contribute to the community in a meaningful way and if we treated them accordingly, it would change the way we age. Medical science, health care and improved lifestyle will see more and more people expecting a more active life and one in which reaching 100 will not be so exceptional. The fact is that many of us will be ’aged’ for a very long time – 25-35 years for many once they retire from their working life. Use it or lose it does not only refer to the physical, it needs to be about the thought processes. Let’s think about how we run aged care centres better and how the ripples flow though the community. More needs to be done to train and educate future aged care workers along these lines. As a society, if we keep referring to the aged as a burden then that carries through to future generations. There is a need for the elderly to interact with younger generations, mentoring when needed but gaining expertise as well as enjoying social interaction. It’s important to bring the outside world into aged care, and more engagement with the aged about what they want. 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. “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 ensur-

of nursing could overcome the feeling of social isolation by the aged. “We need to keep older people at the centre of everything we do. “Australia can do better with this. “Life expectancy is going up … those 65 and over will be one in four by the end of the century. “The majority live in households. Five per cent are in care and 68 per cent in a low-income household. “They need assistance with daily living yet two-thirds do not have that. “They need help with care of their property and home maintenance. “As you age you realise how much more dif-
ficult that becomes.’’ Prof Bartlett said the further you get from cities, the more challenges there are. Aged care is more community, state or local government based rather than private as they are not seen as commercially beneficial. Staff recruitment and retention is one of the biggest issues. Up to 80 per cent of Australians want to live in their own home as they age. This is so they can have proximity to family, friends, and services. Most would like detached housing in small regional towns - separate dwellings offering the chance of home ownership. Affordable, quality, and the ability to meet individual needs.

Olympic feeling to flow through to improve liveability By Erle Levey Queensland is on the move. With the 2032 Olympic Games set for Brisbane and South East Queensland, that leaves 11 years in which to make transformational improvements to not just the infrastructure but the way we look at lifestyle.
If we are to develop facilities to stage the Games - stadiums, indoor centres, roads, railways, bus lanes, footpaths and bike paths to ensure the elderly and disabled can enjoy the event, just think how much more comfortable life will be for the rest of the community. At the Ageing In Place seminar at Univer-
sity of Sunshine Coast, Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien said that to become an Olympic city was enormous. “It’s transformative,’’ he said. “It’s not about an Olympic Games but Olympic and Paralympic Games. “Disabilities are not dissimilar to those being experienced by some of our seniors.
“We will have 11 years to make life easier and more comfortable for people not as steady on their feet. “We need an urban setting built to suit all demographics. “The Olympics are not just about school children looking to be out there as athletes but to make the region more liveable.’’ Friday, 13 August, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 31

Conbrio to perform
Liz Stringer will be performing at Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Friday 27 August.
Stringer announces Eumundi show One of Australia’s most admired and versatile songwriters and instrumentalists will be taking to the stage in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi. A venerated guitarist and vocalist, Liz Stringer’s notoriously powerful live performances and melodically rich, story-based songs have earned her a unique place among the most important Australian songwriters of the modern era. 2019 saw the release of collaborative project Dyson Stringer Cloher’s self-titled debut album through Melbourne’s Milk records to wide media acclaim and a sold-out headline tour, and Stringer was honoured at Woodford Folk Festival as an “emerging legend of Australian song“ with a performance of selections from her back catalogue by her musical peers. Liz Stringer’s sixth studio album First Time
Really Feeling, through Milk Records / Remote Control Records is a 10-song collection documenting a recent reckoning and metamorphosis for the acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter. Recorded at Toronto’s Union Sound Company and produced and engineered by Chris Stringer (no relation to Liz and known for his work with Timber Timbre and the Rheostatics), this will no doubt be regarded as Stringer’s seminal work and her most searingly personal: a musical time-capsule of love, loss and legacy, profound change, and her recent path to selfacceptance. Any fan of Stringer’s will testify to the strength of her live performances, and this album is arranged much like one of her iconic gigs. Beloved equally for her rock stylings, knee-
buckling ballads and a world-class lyrical and story-telling prowess that sees her write affectingly from a staggering range of perspectives, First Time Really Feeling showcases Stringer at the top of her game. Emotional, unflinching, expansive, and revealing, this album is unmistakably Australian music at its finest, and is, without question, Liz Stringer at her best. Doors open to this 18-plus event at 7.30pm on Friday 27 August. Pre-sale tickets are $35 (+booking fee) through Oztix. No door sales. To comply with Covid-safe practices, tickets are strictly limited. Ticket holders’ information will be collected for the purposes of Track and Tracing to comply with current restrictions.

Chorale returns to Mozart By Jim Fagan It isn’t easy singing with a mask covering half your face because of Covid restrictions but, while the sound isn’t vintage Noosa Chorale, there’s no mistaking the eagerness and enthusiasm of the singers. Still on a high from their gold medal Olympic performances in their May concerts, the choir and music director Adrian King are midway through rehearsals for their next blockbuster. On 17 and 18 September at The J, they will present Majestic Mozart featuring his Requiem in D Minor. Timeless Mozart songs will also be performed by a quartet of professional opera soloists, soprano Judit Molnar, mezzo soprano Anne Fulton, tenor Gregory Massingham and bass Mark Jowett. Much has been written about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the man and his music. Without doubt one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time, Mozart in his brief 36 years left us with a magnificent legacy of musical compositions. Certainly, the Chorale is in tune with Mozart. In the last 27 years of its spectacular history, it has devoted five of its concerts to the 18th century composer’s works. In 1995 the choir was only one year old when it first performed the Requiem at the Good Shepherd Lutheran College with thenmusic director, the late Leonard Spira, conducting. After the success of his premiere concert Handel’s Messiah the previous year-- Leonard felt it would not only challenge the singers but attract audiences. It was such a success the choir sang it later at Nambour and Caloundra. A fan letter in the local press from Joan Armitage from Caloundra wrote, “Bravo, you wonderful people and may you continue to please your audiences for many years to come”.
Foundation conductor Leonard Spira OAM with Chorale singers. His first Mozart concert was in 1995.
Adrian King (third from left) at the Mozart, Haydn and Schubert concert in May 2017.
And a visitor, D Franklin, from Mosman NSW also wrote, “I was impressed that a town the size of Noosa could produce a performance of this scale and quality”. Two years later in March Mozart featured in a triumvirate of music masters, Handel, Vivaldi and Mozart, in a concert at the Good Shepherd. Leonard selected the Coronation Mass in C and, because he had a love of visual effects and always the showman, he had two actors dressed as a king and a queen sitting at each side of the stage-- indeed, a royal performance. In 2000 the world was celebrating the coming of the third millennium and for the April concert at the Bicentennial Hall Leonard chose The Requiem “as a fitting tribute and farewell to the past”. International bass soloist Mark Penman was so impressed he wrote to the press, “I am
there and later said, “I could have sat for another few hours listening to the transcendent music”. Since it was founded in 1994 by barrister Joe McMahon, the Chorale has been fortunate in having two inspirational choir masters in Leonard and Adrian who between them have helped the choir engender a tradition of excellence. In spite of the masks, majestic Mozart harmonies and magnificent melodies are now floating through the rehearsal hall on Tuesday nights as Adrian, our talented accompanist Janet Brewer, and the choir prepare for the September concerts. The tradition continues ... “Majestic Mozart,” The J Noosa Junction, Friday 17 September at 7pm, Saturday 18 September at 2pm. Tickets $45. Book online thej. com.au or phone 5329 6560.
writing to express my joy and professional satisfaction at participating and to acknowledge the grass roots organisation which allowed this work of stature to be performed”. It was another 10 years before Mozart was on the Chorale’s program list. Leonard had retired and Adrian King was the new maestro. Calling it The Magic of Mozart, he selected five works for his October concert at the Bicentennial Hall. Included with The Requiem were time-honoured gems like Ave Verum and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. The repertoire then took a break from Mozart for seven years and it wasn’t until May 2017 at the J Theatre that the singers renewed acquaintance with the Coronation Mass in a programme called Viennese Masters of the Classical Era. It included music by Haydn and Schubert. Noosa Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie was
Sunshine Coast’s Horizon Festival cancelled for 2021 In the interest of community safety and in light of the recent lockdown, and the restrictions in place, Sunshine Coast Council’s Horizon Festival 2021 has been cancelled. The festival was scheduled to be held across the region from 27 August to 5 September 2021. Anyone who purchased tickets to cancelled Horizon Festival events will be contacted in the coming days to arrange a full refund. Sunshine Coast Council thanks Horizon Festival audiences, artists, supporters and suppliers for their patience and support as it works through the next steps, including identifying any opportunities to present some aspects of the 2021 program. Horizon Festival acting director Zoe Graham said the decision to cancel the Festival came after close consultation with health authorities, discussions with artists and with the safety of the community top of mind.
“The impact of the recent lockdown, the current restrictions and the uncertainty of what may unfold over the coming weeks has made festival delivery extremely challenging,” Ms Graham said. “Featuring hundreds of artists, Horizon Festival 2021 was shaping up to be an incredible 10 days and we are devastated not to be able to present these events, artworks and experiences for our community to enjoy.” “Council understand this is a trying time for those in the arts sector. Festival organisers have been, and will continue to, liaise with artists and presenters to determine future presentation opportunities for programs that, three weeks out of the Festival start date, were very close to ‘show ready’. “We will be providing up to date information via our website horizonfestival.com.au or sign up to our Facebook, Instagram or enews.”

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Lamb shoulder at home.
You can take it with you Trevor Pepys reviews Little Humid takeaways Well, the snap lockdown put the kybosh on everything, didn’t it? Including a good mate of Trev’s significant birthday celebration. But we are nothing if not resilient, we who have come from far-flung fields and hideous hell-holes – I’m thinking mainly of Melbourne and Sydney – to create new and worthwhile lives where God (if she exists) kissed the planet. We endure, and, as dudes, we abideth. We can get through eight days without a restaurant meal, can’t we? Any longer, Trev is not so sure. Which is why his spirits soared when he saw on social media – Trevor doesn’t do social media, but people tell him what they saw, and he claims it as his own – that the gals from Little Humid, the mighty M and Ms, were once again quick off the mark with what saved us last winter, the $25 takeaway. Hearing the news, Trev donned his industrial-strength Covid mask and skipped merrily the seven blocks to Dan’s, where he purchased a six-pack of almost-decent Pinot to celebrate. By Trev’s reckoning, to become a culinary legend in this tough town, you have to have produced the goods for at least 20 years. Well, Michelle and Mary have been serving up the tucker and the service brilliantly in two Noosaville locations for 17 years now, which, in technical terms, puts them within a bee’s dick of legendary status. The original Humid, recently demolished in the name of progress, was a cavernous temple of industrial near-chic which was fun to be a customer in, not so much for the serving staff. The girls really hit their straps when they moved to the river, conveniently adjacent to Laguna Realty, where the estimable Olivier Miller turned it into the staff canteen.

Where you’d rather be - Little Humid. found it a good place to seal deals. And it still is! Why, even Trev has convinced hard cases to hand over a cash advance for this
project and that over a three-course Humid special. A Little Humid lunch or dinner is a treasured delight, not just for the food, which
is consistently brilliant, but for the whole friendly, buzzy experience, and the river view. So when the boom gates come down and we have to lock down for the common good, how wonderful is it that not only can you get a Humid takeaway, but it’s the bargain of the century. Look, not much to make you smile comes out of a Covid lockdown, other than that feeling of community accomplishment when we all work together to overcome it, but if every cloud has a silver lining, then the lockdown one is the $25 dinner special, three minutes in the microwave, from Humid. Michelle’s takeout menu is a clever combination of comfort food and the dishes that have made the place famous, all pre-cooked same day and idiot-proofed for immediate consumption. From five mains offered, we phone-ordered the crispy roast confit duck leg, broccolini, sweet potato puree, soy, ginger and turmeric glaze, and the lamb shoulder, roast pumpkin, spinach and beans with carrot puree. Trev picked it up just before six and the missus served it at seven, just as he pulled the Pinot from the rack and switched on the ABC news. All things considered, you’d rather be sitting in the restaurant, but for a lockdown home dinner in front of the box with plenty of Aussie medal shots to watch from Tokyo later, it was damn near perfect. The verdict: Little Humid is not the only place in town offering quality takeaways during lockdowns, but they do it very, very well. It’s hard to match a crispy duck carried straight from their kitchen, but Michelle goes very close. We shared our meaty delights and couldn’t fault them. An excellent lockdown dinner.

Lions Music in the Schools project
Lions make a difference By Ron Lane Have you ever stopped to think just what it is that those volunteer members of the Noosa Lions Club do and just where, on those many occasions they raise substantial amounts of money, does it go? Well, a short time ago, I was invited to attend the presentation of a new defibrillator to the swim club at the Tewantin State School by the Noosa Lions. I met with two representatives of Lions Club, Michael Roach and Bill Battilana, and during this time they explained some of their major projects helping those in need. When they mentioned, amongst other things, helping those hit by droughts, being the son of a farmer, who on more than one occasion suffered badly, I pricked my ears. Michael offered to meet or better still, write a list of their endeavours and forward it for my attention. On receiving the said document, it left me amazed and I thought, what could be better than to let this proud Aussie, tell you, the people of our community, in his own words, what they have achieved: not only locally, but for country people in general. Here then, under their title, is their story. You have made a difference Buying a Lions sausage is where it all starts. Over the past three years the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club focussed on supporting families impacted by the prolonged drought. Lions is an enabler. We have directed around $400,000 through Q4 Lions District, to areas that stretch from Sunshine Coast northwards and out to the NT border, covering many regional towns, small communities, families, bigger stations and their drovers. We responded immediately and brought relief. No rain no feed! It all began around August 2018 when Lions conducted a risk assessment needs’ analysis to identify communities in trouble and determine a way forward with Lions support. Drawing upon many other Lions Clubs and Australian Lions Foundation for additional funding, our disaster team divided the western Queensland area into four hub towns from which resources could be sent and then advertised that support was available. Many emotional calls for help were received. Working through Lions Clubs in these hub towns of Winton, Longreach, Emerald and Springsure, we further identified and delivered to those in perilous need for cash, water, food, 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 August, 2021
Feed for the stock
Helping out towns in trouble. cooking gas and food hampers. Amazing assistance was received from the country police and the mayors, in supporting our distribution project in each location. Sometimes even the posties were placing Lions Christmas cakes and food hampers in RMB letterboxes on the roadside. The emails and phone calls of thanks and a friendly chat were very emotional. That’s what our club is all about. “I am alright, it’s the farmer next door.” One then knew they were in trouble, typical Aussie attitude. At the end of the day, our efforts
focused on the mental health of our farmers, families and children during those critical years of drought. Many people out west had no funds, only sandy paddocks producing absolutely nothing. End result - no income. On one occasion, a big bushie with tears in his eyes said, “No one has ever given me anything.” Your purchase of the humble Lions sausage, has enabled us to provide $200 cash vouchers for spending in the towns, food hampers, hay deliveries from Victoria, vouchers for cooking gas, distributions of hundreds of Lions Christ-
mas Cakes, wooden toys at Christmas, collection of musical instruments for school bands, funding of field days, plus allocation of funds for the holding of Christmas functions in the major communities. Funding men’s health days and art shows help to strengthen smaller communities. Then there were the Lions back-to-school grants. As money was in short supply for many of the farmers and townspeople over the last two years, Lions established a back-to-school grant program, for the country youth. This enabled us to provided around 100 grants to different families, from the Burnett region out to Winton and north to Aramac. Our club also funded an extra school teacher for the small town of Jericho and provided uniforms for some of the children. Another project was the music in the schools and towns. Lions fully funded the recent 1RAR Townsville Army Band tour of 24 musicians. This was one of our main mental [health] endeavours to 14 different western Queensland country towns and small schools along the way. The community at the Longreach Hall of Fame still remembers the fun times of children and parents dancing into the night. The tour is still spoken about. In January 2019, our club had another challenge. It was the floods in Far North Queensland. Once again our disaster team refocused resources on the area, moving stock feed from Winton to Cloncurry, and north to the cattle stations. Also, 100 care packs were hastily arranged for people trapped in cars. Then came the bushfires. Once again, Lions deployed in Noosa and Yeppoon areas where bushfires raced through the communities. Our Lions Club was activated by Noosa Council and, for four days, provided food at the two evacuation centres. Now our club is preparing for this coming summer and weather events so, don’t forget to buy a Lions sausage, Christmas cake, or make a donation. Our club would like to thank the Noosa community for its ongoing support and for helping our fellow Queenslanders. This year we will put around $50,000 back into the community in various projects from defibrillators to supporting Indigenous youth. Lions Serve and also We Deliver. Come and join us and have fun while helping others. Any questions, contact Paul on 0409 622 440.Thanks again.

NEWS
From debris to surf art Around the time Covid hit last year, beachwalker Arturo Hernandez and his then oneyear old son Naolin started collecting small bits of rubbish on their daily walk on Peregian Beach. “Every day. In rain, wind, it didn’t matter” Arturo says “we collected plastic, Styrofoam, cigarette butts, ghost net, all sorts of stuff between Beach access 64 and 65, south of the village.” Gradually, Arturo could see how much he and Naolin were picking up in just that 200 metres of sand, and he wanted to somehow turn it into a message. Since arriving from the Mexican coast a few years ago, Arturo was keen to connect with his
Artist Vicki Bradbury, Arturo Hernandez with son Naolin, 2. new local community in Peregian Beach and he became a regular in the PBCA bushcare group. PBCA environment coordinator Rochelle
Gooch put Arturo in touch with another keen bushcare volunteer and artist, Vicki Bradbury, and the surfboard idea was floated.

Vicki named the piece Beach Artifacts from an Anthropocene Age, and said people haf difficulty believing this object of beauty was comprised of beach rubbish. She tried to enter it in the national art competition run by Gympie Regional Gallery, but was told the surfboard was 30-centimetres too long according to the rules. Vicki said the new Community House currently being built in Peregian Beach might be an appropriate home for it. Arturo says the recycled surfboard isn’t the end of this story. He will continue picking up rubbish, volunteering at PBCA bushcare and teaching his young children to care for their beautiful beach.

Head to offshore reefs With a hot start to the week we had daytime temps of 27C and evenings that felt the same. Of course this time of year that didn’t last for long and the weather soon changed to cold and fresh WSW winds. So, if you are heading offshore you are best advised to stick to the local reefs including Halls, Jew shoal and Sunshine Reef. If you are heading out then please don’t forget we are still in the middle of the seasonal snapper and pearl perch closure. This means these fish are a no-take species and must be returned. All other fish are fair game and, with the water looking crystal clear, you are best advised to go with lighter gear around the 20-30lb mark. The new moon gave us higher afternoon tides and less run during the day, making sitting on anchor possible. This is a great time to run a light burley trail of tuna oil, pilchards, burley pellets and sand mixed together. These can be made into balls and frozen for a slower release. If looking for a burley pot we have a great range from sea dog which you can hang from your anchor rope to get the fish really fired up. Reports of longtail tuna and big ones are still about along with some XL Spanish mackerel. Other fish include some very fat sweetlip and mid-water cobia around the 6-8kg mark. The Noosa bar has been easy to cross and be sure you check dates on flare kits and lifejacket visual inspection information as Fisheries will be in the area. Should you need anything safety related, we stock a full range of jackets including kids’ sizes, EPIRBS, flare kits and V-sheets. Surf fishing has had a few reports of tailor but mainly after dark and around the mouth or beach gutters. These fish are picking up ganghooked pilchards and, if about in the daytime, then smaller slugs or micro jigs retrieved at speed are also great. Check out the range of wired assist hooks for use when toothy critters are about. Off the rocks there have been a few smaller sweetlip out wide with bream and trevally in the wash. Use light 1/8th jigheads and cast soft plastics into the foam and let it drop down to the fish for the bite. The estuary has been pretty quiet this week but it continues to fish much like previous weeks. Flathead, bream and trevally feature mostly throughout the system. These fish love bait and lures and as previously mentioned the clear water means dropping leader thickness down to no more than 10lb. If you can use 6lb then the various YGK leaders will work perfectly and have proven themselves under test. Soft plastics like the Atomic Prong are great options as they are scented and mimic a prawn for which Noosa is well known for. The clear waters will also make fishing for whiting a great idea as they are an easy target and taste pretty great. Come in and grab some live beach worm and a few pea sinkers and we can tell you where to find them.
Vicki Picket caught this 58cm flathead near the Tewantin Ferry on Saturday morning’s Noosa River Fishing Safari. Freshwater access in the LGAs is currently on lockdown so Lake MacDonald is shut. For those reading this outside of this area, it should be noted that parts of the Mary River are closed to ALL forms of line fishing. This is for the annual Mary River cod closure and features a wide range so please check before heading out that way. Elsewhere other dams and lakes will be quiet given SEQ is in lockdown. Ensure you have a SIPS permit and go and enjoy. Be sure you have a wide range of smaller hardbodies, jigs, spoons and soft plastics. The smaller previously mentioned Atomic prong will work well too as it is similar to a freshwater yabby/ crayfish. Now for all the latest information, log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up to date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Mangroves cause odour A recent odour in Noosa Heads has been linked to a natural phenomenon of mangrove seed decomposition. The rotten egg-like smell, which some might describe as a sewage odour, is related to grey mangrove forests, scientifically known as Avicennia marina. Unitywater executive manager customer delivery Rhett Duncan said environment officers investigated an odour near Habitat Place in Noosa Heads and found that a recent odour was consistent with mangrove seed decomposition. “The team took samples at the site and confirmed the odour is being generated by mangrove forests underneath and around Eenie Creek Road Bridge,” Mr Duncan said. “The odour is similar to sewage but there is a key difference in the organic components that are not present within sewage.”
The findings led to further investigations in the Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast and Noosa regions which have identified the areas of Bells Creek at Pelican Waters and Hays Inlet at Mango Hill were also affected by mangrove seed decomposition. The odour can happen in both wet and dry conditions and is released as part of a complex chemical reaction that takes place during decomposition. As mangroves drop their seeds, bacteria help to breakdown the organic matter, producing a sulphur reaction. This reaction creates sulphide gas which is known as the ‘rotten egg smell’. Some mangrove plants can drop up to one kilogram of organic matter, like seeds and leaves, per square metre, per year meaning the potential for a lot of sulphide gas being produced and released.

Tales of a long hitter The 15th hole at Royal Lytham and St Annes, the famous links course on the coast of northwestern England, is a fiendishly difficult 464 yard par four. But for the 1994 British Senior Open, as a concession to the age of the contestants, it was made a par five. In that iconic event, the third in a row to be played at the celebrated golf course, Noosa’s George Bell, making a rare international tournament appearance, did something quite outrageous on this challenging hole. He pummelled his drive long and straight, then reached for an eight iron with which he dispatched his ball directly at the flag. The ball landed on the green and, like a rat navigating its certain way to the drainpipe, rolled truly into the centre of the hole. George Bell, a knockabout golfer who spent a decade as the professional at Tewantin-Noosa Golf Club, had just scored an albatross – that rarest of golfing birdlife – in one of the world’s most famous senior tournaments. And for a man who never in his life won a four-round tournament and who freely admits his competitive golfing record did not rate alongside that of many of his peers, that albatross must surely have been the highlight of his round. Right? Of course it is something he remembers fondly, but George reckons the best thing about that week of golf was not his play, but enjoying the company of his playing partner in the club’s renowned bar after they’d completed the 18th hole. He was paired with Christy O’Connor Snr, the Irish trail-blazer whose charisma and golfing performances were so legendary he was known throughout Ireland simply as ‘Himself’. O’Connor was 69 and nearing the end of a career that had seen him appear in 10 successive Ryder Cups – from 1955 until 1973 - finish in the top 10 of nearly a dozen British Opens, and win at least 20 tournaments in Ireland and the UK. “We enjoyed each other’s company on the course and when we’d finished he invited me to have a ‘jar’ with him at the bar,” George recalls. “When we walked in, the staff treated him like royalty,” he said. The two golfers were quickly joined by others, ordered successive rounds of Guinness and swapped stories until George, unable to drink any more, called it a night. “But Christy stayed on,” George says. “Next morning they told me he was the last man to leave the bar.” George Bell was a poster boy in an era of swashbuckling professional golfers who wore bell-bottomed trousers and tight shirts, and measured their success in terms of their enjoyment of life as much as winning tournaments. He also had the knack of hitting the ball prodigious distances. Whenever a group of old-time Sunshine Coast golfers get together over a beer and discuss long-driving exploits, George’s name invariably comes up. Rightly so. In 1971, taking part in the King of the River driving contest at Penrith, outside Sydney, George was recorded hitting a tee-shot 319 yards on the fly. And, though the longest official drive in a tournament is Mike Austin’s 515 yard monster in the US National Seniors Open in 1974, George once smacked a drive so far on the 577yard 6th hole at St Michael’s in Sydney that it came to a halt on the front fringe of the green. He then proceeded to three-putt for a birdie. George grew up in regional NSW – originally at Bateman’s Bay, then at Young, where he learnt the game and became an outstanding junior golfer. He would drive to Sydney at weekends to represent Concord, then later, St Michael’s, in pennant competition. He turned professional in 1976 on the strength of his golfing ability, an associate of players like Bill Britten and Terry Gale, and won his first professional event – a 36-hole tournament at Liverpool, NSW. He enjoyed success on the national pro-am tour and fin-
Play from hard sand TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER After wet weather you may find the bunkers at your home course have been washed out and the sand become very hard and compacted to play from. They will play very differently from the soft, fluffy sand we encounter during our dry hot weather. With our great game, you always should be observing and adjusting to any apparent changes in play. So what do we adjust here to combat the firm base? First of all, the best club to use is your 60 degree lob wedge as it normally has less bounce than your 56 degree sand wedge. From there you must reduce the speed of swing as the club head will now skip across the sand quickly rather than being slowed down by the weight of the soft sand. Finally, address the ball with a square club face as less bounce of the club will be introduced and allow the club head to stay lower than normal through impact position. The more bounce you introduce by opening the club face in this situation will be detrimental as it will make the club bounce off the hard surface and result in a shot thinned across the green or under the lip of the bunker. There are so many different bunker shots that we must play and one should never approach all bunkers shots with the same theory. Trial and error with your practice is often the best way to learn. Good golfing.
Anthony Zapf and his successful Ambrose team. ished in the top five at a New Zealand Open. George moved to Noosa in 1981 and was appointed professional at Tewantin-Noosa Golf Club, mentoring trainees like Brett and Mark Officer and, in 1991, won the Caloundra Pro-Am. After leaving Tewantin-Noosa in that same year, he took over the old driving range in Beckmans Road, continuing to teach aspiring golfers until he scaled it down in 2010 at the age of 68. Though he’s now 79, George remains fit and healthy. He regularly swims, takes long walks, goes fishing, and still likes to be noticed – he drives a canary yellow Ford Mustang with personalised plates. These days, though, his golf is restricted to a competitive round each Tuesday with a group of mates. He plays off a Golf Australia handicap of 4.8 and, though he regularly figures in the rundown, he says golf for him is now just for fun – a perfect way to spend a great day with good friends. He still gets it out there, though, and says there’s not a par five on the Noosa course that he can’t reach in two – as long as he’s ‘feeling good’ about his game at the time. Sponsor’s generosity pays off Peter and Anthony Zapf, well-known proprietors of the Cooroy and Pomona IGA supermarkets, have been sponsoring The Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Golf Tour since it began 18 years ago. It’s an investment in something they love – the game of golf and the development of junior players. Peter said the work The Invincibles had done for junior golf on the Sunshine Coast and south-east Queensland was quite unique and remarkable. “To witness the results that come from their juniors and the program is truly inspirational,” he said. The Zapfs are regular supporters of, and participants in The Invincibles’ major fundraising event, their corporate golf day, which was held at Twin Waters a fortnight ago. And this year their generosity was rewarded.
George Bell prepares to play at Noosa golf course. Anthony Zapf’s team – Tony Giles, Rowen Shepherd, Nathan Howie and Anthony himself – won the day’s competition, a four-person Ambrose, with an outstanding score of 53.25 after shooting 15-under 57 off the stick. A Cooroy IGA team, made up of John Curtis, Peter Buhk, Shane Taylor and Lance Masterson, was third with a score of 53.875. Wine’s the prize in Skins event It’s difficult in these Covid-19 times to make plans for anything more than a few hours into the future. But, all going well, the Noosa Springs Skins Series will take place on Wednesday, 8 September with a field of golfers seeking to win 72 bottles of excellent wine. Registrations are being taken for the popular event which features teams of four golfers in a skins-type team stableford event. The best combined score of three members of a team becomes the team score for each hole, and puts them in the running for four bottles of wine. If there’s a tie – as is often the case – the prize jackpots until it’s won. There’s also a prize – a Noosa Springs cor-
PETER HEINIGER, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs’ resident PGA teaching professional porate membership valued at $2250 – for the first person to ace the par-three fourth hole. It’s a shotgun start at noon, and the entry fee is $85 for each person ($39 for Noosa Springs’ members). The cost includes lunch and post-game nibbles. Cooroy cancels club comps Golf resumed on the Sunshine Coast on Monday after the Covid-19 lockdown was lifted, albeit with stricter conditions than in the past. The usual pandemic conditions are in place – no rakes in bunkers, scoring one’s own card, physical distancing and heightened hygiene practices. But this time only one golfer can ride in a cart, unless the second is a member of the same household. And all major competitions – open days, club championships and the like – are not allowed. Though the State Government specifically permits standard stableford club competitions during this period, Cooroy took no chances and informed members through its website that only social golf would be permitted until 22 August.

Ron’s party postponed Ron McKenzie celebrated his 80th birthday on 1 August without the planned party at Noosa Springs resort when, on the eve of the event, lockdown sabotaged the family arrangements, deferring it until the Covid-coast is clear. Back in the 1960s the local sporting identity from Melbourne was competing on the international tennis circuit, playing in Wimbledon in 1963, 1964 and 1967, and boasts victories over Davis Cup stars John Newcombe and Ray Ruffels, in a very different sporting arena. “I was a mediocre battler around the circuit. I played all the grand slams - Australian, French and US. Things were different then. I played the last amateur Wimbledon, a lot of professionals weren’t allowed to play,“ he said. “You just wrote to tournaments and told them how good you were and got invited to the competition. There was no money in it, only trophies. You got 50 pound expenses to get into the draw for Wimbledon. Now you get $120,000 if you’re in the first round.“ Ron travelled to England to compete at Wimbledon aboard the SS Arcadia. It took six weeks to reach London and he ran around the deck to keep fit. “It was fantastic just seeing the world,“ he said. “I drove around Europe in a VW Kombi van,“ he said. His return trip was on a Swedish freighter from Los Angeles. It took 17 days and he paid his fare by chipping rust off the deck. Ron also played squash in Melbourne, like a lot of tennis players in the off-season, and was ranked number six in Victoria.
For most of his working life Ron worked for IBM in the computer industry in Melbourne before a holiday in 1994 convinced he and wife Marie-Claude to move the family to Noosa. The family moved to Noosa Waters and are now the longest residents of the estate. “I had a couple of friends move up here, guys who’d played tennis in Melbourne. I shared a block of land on Noosa Sound. I came up for a visit in the middle of winter on a beautiful sunny day. I had a look at a display home (at Noosa Waters) and thought I should bloody well live here,“ he said. He recalls that when they purchased their land, the canal outside their home had not yet been filled with water, the Saltwater Ave bridge had not been built and the sight of kangaroos bounding along Shorehaven Drive was common, he even encountered a dingo about 1km from home. A friend of Ron’s had an electrical company in Victoria so Ron became the Queensland agent for the company for the next 20 years. Ron played a lot of golf in Melbourne, though describing himself as never being much good at the game, he persevered and took up the sport in Noosa, playing at Noosa Tewantin for 25 years before becoming an inaugural member at Noosa Springs when the course opened. Unfortunately a stroke in 2019 left him with a weakened left hand that has prevented him playing, but he’s working on recovery and a return to the course.The belated 80th birthday party promises to be a great day.

Grants success for local sporting champions Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien has congratulated 43 local sports stars who will receive grants to help them participate in state and national competitions. “Our junior sportspeople participate in a diverse range of sports, they come from every community, and despite the current challenges of COVID-19, they are all dedicated to their training so they can achieve their sporting goals,“ Mr O’Brien said. “Participating in these events can be quite expensive, especially where long-distance travel or inter-state quarantine is required, so this funding will help to ease that pressure on local families, ensure our sporting champions can represent Wide Bay with pride, and progress in their chosen sport.” The grants of between $550 and $750 will be provided through the Liberal and Nationals Government’s Local Sporting Champions grants program which supports young sportsmen and women between the ages of 12 and 18, to help meet the costs of participating in sporting events, including travel, equipment, uniforms and accommodation. The following 15 Noosa athletes have been successful: Ella Reynolds, Sunrise Beach, swimming, 2021 Australian Age Swimming Championships. Kilian Carrel, Noosa Heads, swimming, 2021 Australian Age Swimming Championships. Alana Castle, Sunrise Beach, weightlifting, Australian Weightlifting Federation Youth and U15 National Championships.

Lockdown hits Enduro The much-anticipated Noosa Enduro returned last weekend with hundreds of riders descending into the Noosa Hinterland before the snap lockdown announcement changed plans for the remainder of the event. From 7am on Saturday, riders departed for the ride of their life taking in some of Noosa’s most spectacular real estate while tackling some of the Coast’s most difficult terrain. With the Chief Health Officer declaring an emergency lockdown from 4pm that day, organisers worked with their health team and Queensland Police to allow every rider in the event to finish safely. The first across the line in the Noosa Enduro 100 and AusCycling MTB XCM National Cup event was Brendan ‘Trekky’ Johnston for the men and Holly Lubcke (ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast) for the women. Despite the challenges event director Matt Wilson said the event had received plenty of positive feedback and hopes the event can be run in it’s entirety next year. “While we are absolutely devastated that the event couldn’t go ahead as planned, the feedback we’ve received from the riders has just been amazing. After 12 months of hard work, it was very special to see the riders lining up Saturday morning before they descended into the Noosa Hinterland. The event clearly has all the hallmarks of a must-do bucket list cycling event.” Originally the brainchild of USM’s Geoff Myer and local resident Scott Woodward, the original Noosa Enduro event was championed by none other than Garth Prowd, godfather

Hopes high for postponed Noosa Classic The third edition of the Noosa Classic has been postponed from 15 August to 10 October. The decision to postpone was made due to the evolving Covid outbreak and lockdown restrictions affecting south east Queensland. This announcement comes after the 2020 Noosa Classic was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. Classics founder James Yaffa said, “While another devastating blow for community events, we are determined to be back stronger, bigger and better than ever in October this year.” “We understand this date change can prove challenging for our riders and partners, however, we are doing our very best to make the 2021 Noosa Classic a reality and their ongoing support throughout these volatile times means a lot.” The Gran Fondo cycling event is part of The Classics series by Bicycling Australia. Riders who had registered for the 2021 event in August will automatically be transferred to the new event date of 10 October. If they are unable to make the new date, an option for deferral to Noosa Classic 2022 or refund will be offered.

Great writers and the sea The old man always thought of her [the sea] as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them. The moon affects her as it does a woman, he thought. - Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man And The Sea In my home office, just over my left shoulder, hangs a big black and white print of Alberto Korda’s 1960 photograph of Ernest Hemingway shaking hands with Fidel Castro, the new dictator of Cuba. I glance over at it often while writing, because it reminds me that despite his celebrity lifestyle, mixing with the great and the good, not to mention the dangerous and dodgy, when it came to his writing, “Papa” always kept it simple. I’ve read Hemingway since I was a teenager, but I was only recently reminded of the beautiful simplicity of his words while watching Ken Burns’ excellent Hemingway documentary series on SBS. Burns, the acknowledged master of the documentary, and Hemingway, whose 10-word sentences conveyed so much more meaning than they should, was always going to be a formidable duo, but the masterstroke was to have actor Jeff Daniels read Papa’s words. At one point, Daniels reads from a letter Hemingway wrote to his father: “You see I’m trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across—not just to depict life—or criticise it—but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing.” It seemed to me that in reading that dumbed-down explanation of Papa’s style, the penny dropped for Daniels, and in listening to him read Hemingway over the six hours of the series, the penny dropped for me too. It’s the rhythms, the cadence of the words that count. To really appreciate Hemingway, you have to read him aloud. I once wrote a narration script for a documentary that was to be narrated by the Hollywood actor Ed Norton. Norton returned my script with just a few minor changes, which made me happy, but when I heard his read on a rough cut of the film, I was ecstatic. He gave my words meaning they didn’t deserve, and he lifted the film many notches by doing so. Daniels’ read of Hemingway is quite different, because the power of the sentence construction is already there, but only with the right delivery can it be shared. Hemingway wrote convincingly about the 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 August, 2021

Illustration of Mark Twain’s wipeout. ocean and its moods, although he gets a bit hairy-chested when it comes to rationalising his passion for game fishing. As far as we know, he never surfed nor tried to write about it, which is probably just as well when we look at the great writers who did. In the second half of the 19th century, Mark Twain (aka Sam Clemens) was the most popular writer in North America, both for his travel journalism and his novels. In 1866, at the height of the missionary purge of the Hawaiian islands of ungodly traditions such as nudity, surfing and sex on the beach, Twain fetched up in Honolulu and later wrote in his book, Roughing It: “In one place we came upon a large company of naked natives, of both sexes and all ages, amusing themselves with the national pastime of surf- bathing. Each heathen would paddle three or four hundred yards out to sea (taking a short board with him), then face the shore and wait for a particularly prodigious billow to come along; at the right moment he would fling his board upon its foamy crest and himself upon the board, and here he would come whizzing by like a bombshell! It did not seem that a lightning express-train could shoot along at a more hair-lifting speed. I tried surf-bathing once, subsequently, but made a failure of it. I got the board placed
Picture: A KORDA
Picture: SUPPLIED right, and at the right moment, too; but missed the connection myself. The board struck the shore in three-quarters of a second, without any cargo, and I struck the bottom about the same time, with a couple of barrels of water in me. None but natives ever master the art of surf-bathing thoroughly.” Nearly half a century later, the adventure writer Jack London sailed into Honolulu and also had a dig, as recounted in A Royal Sport: Surfing at Waikiki: “I shall never forget the first big wave I caught out there in the deep water. I saw it coming, turned my back on it and paddled for dear life … I heard the crest of the wave hissing and churning, and then my board was lifted and flung forward. I scarcely knew what happened the first half-minute. Though I kept my eyes open, I could not see anything, for I was buried in the rushing white of the crest. But I did not mind. I was chiefly conscious of ecstatic bliss at having caught the wave.” Better, but no cigar. A century or so on, the esteemed travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux, who has lived on the North Shore of Oahu for more than 20 years and ought to know better, has tried to invent his own world of surfing in which real-life surfers and countercultural figures, like Hunter S. Thompson, cohabit, in a strange novel called
Hemingway at work. Picture: GENTLEMEN’S QUARTERLY ARCHIVE Under The Wave At Waimea, which I’ve just finished. I don’t want to pick nits in the work of an 80-year-old who has written some absolute gems, but Theroux just doesn’t get it. He thinks when we surf, we “swim” out to the break! As surf historian Matt Warshaw wrote: “The fault here is not that Theroux is an outsider. That’s fine. Some of the best takes on the sport have been made by outsiders. But the writer has to care enough, be interested enough, to make something previously unknown to him or her come to life.” Hear, hear.

Coaches drive success By Ron Lane It was the last leg of the Olympic decathlon, the 10-event marathon. The 1500m, and a big performance, would earn Australia’s Ash Moloney, the bronze medal, the first time that an Australian would medal in this event. Running slightly behind and to his right, Cedric Dubler, his team mate, friend and training partner of seven years, realised Moloney was starting to drop back. Even his mother, sitting on the bed at home in Logan was screaming, “What are you doing?” Knowing that he himself was out of medal contention, Dubler put on a surge and, defying a hamstring injury, got right up to his mate’s right shoulder, bent his head forward and began to scream: brutal harsh words of encouragement. Harsh words, that resulted in a sudden surge, earning Moloney that first medal in an Olympic decathlon. However, when asked what his mate said, Moloney replied with a laugh ‘’I don’t think that I could repeat it on television. I could feel his voice bouncing in my cranium like a bat out of hell.” And Dubler said, “I started screaming and got him there.” How many Olympic medal winners can say that their win was due to a “coach,” running next to them in the final, screaming advice to snap out of it and move. We have all heard stories of coaches, but this must surely rank as the “unexpected.” But it’s the Olympics, after all. Already an Aussie commentator has coined a new phrase, one that could easily slip into that list of great Aussie terminologies. “He was doing a Dubler.” A terminology that could easily come to mean, what all fair dinkum Aussies are guilty of. “Helping a mate in trouble.” Good on yuh mate! This is an incident that will surely live forever in the folklore of Australian sport and mateship. When we talk about coaches whose work with the very young starts at ground level, another of our quiet achievers, is a young man named Clint Irwin, and his youthful athletes are the boys and girls of surf lifesaving’s Nipper movement. One could say Clint, then a member of the Noosa club, first became serious about sport competition, when competing in the U/15 board race at the Australian Championships at North Wollongong, when he not only won the gold medal, but in doing so became the first member of the Noosa Club, to win an individual gold. It was also the year in which he obtained his bronze medallion. This was just the start. On moving into the senior ranks, he went on to win Australian gold in the blue ribbon event the Taplin and, following this, the board relay. Then at age 25, while working as a lifeguard at Peregian Beach, he was approached by Peregian senior member Mick Donahue to help train the local nippers in the surf. This, however, was to be the beginning, for following this, he started to work with the nippers at Noosa’s Main Beach. Because of his outstanding success at national level in board competition, he decided to made this his specialty. As a result, many who started as nippers and came up through the ranks, went on to win medals at both state and national titles. Members such as Chantelle Ellis, Rohan Simpson, the McKenzie sisters, Katheryn and Emma, and Caren Black, just to mention a few. Also, in the early days at Noosa, Clint worked in conjunction with Sharlene Kelly as board coach to Lana Rogers. Because the Iron Woman event consists of four legs, swim, ski, board and run, his board coaching was important. “As the years went on, I found that I really enjoyed the coaching. It is not only the teaching when you get involved (in the nippers) you are also learning from them as well. In the nippers from age 14 on, no two are the same so you have to be flexible, as the journey takes you and them from the very basic, teaching them to stroke, to the elite level where such things as strategy and the finer skills, become of major importance. And most important, you must always remember they are human beings.” The important role of a good coach in the early years cannot be emphasised enough. It teaches not only how to perform to ones best, but also in a good club, the virtues of mateship, respect for others and good manners. In many clubs we are finding that senior nippers who enjoyed their time, but left because of work, study or family life, are on becoming parents themselves, returning with their little nippers in tow. This is something that coach Irwin stresses. “When this happens to us, it is
First in the U15 board race in the 1990 Australian Surf Lifesaving championships a good feeling for it makes us understand the importance of what we have done: coaching is not just about winning it is also about life in general.” To take on the job of coaching, there is in this era, that all-important factor of writing a full and comprehensive program. It is this that will guide the athlete through to the big event. For Sharlene Kelly, coach of the Nutri Grain Iron Woman and Coolangatta Gold champion, Lana Rogers, this is of the utmost importance as it addresses all aspects of the athlete’s fitness. This, said Sharlene, is a must. “It covers all aspects and gives the athlete full confidence, knowing exactly what is required to reach peak condition” This involves making up a season with all races planned, breaking the season down into phases and cycles. “Every weekend we make up the training plan for the following, depending on the cycle. Lana has a swim coach and a strength and conditioning coach and they plan her sessions around the same training plan we make.” Also, nutrition and recovery, is of the utmost importance. She also has a plan of the calories and macros she must consume each day and this must be done by eating good clean nourishing foods. She also sees a massage and recovery therapist weekly and has ice baths after large training sessions. When not involved in coaching sessions with Lana, Sharlene teaches people how to paddle at Noosa Paddle Sports. “I get a lot of pleasure, helping people of all ages discover the joy of paddling”. This is just one example of what is required for a coach to take their athlete to the top. Another is to be conscious at all times of their mental health and positive attitude and above all, teach them to believe in themselves. Coaching and supervision can, and often is, a long journey. To be there for the ups and downs is also a major part. Maybe, when people stop and think, it will make them understand why coach Dean Boxall reacted as he did when Ariarne Titmus won the Olympic gold, beating the best in the world. This is not something that the athlete and coach achieve overnight. To all our local coaches, we say many thanks and good luck. To Kareena Lee, who is home from the Olympics with a bronze medal, your performance in the 10km Open Water Swim has made us all proud .Your effort over the last 100m was truly outstanding. And to that evergreen coach, the legendary John “JR” Rogers, you are sir, in a class of your own. Keeping abreast of regulations, despite the lockdown being lifted, community sport has a two-week delay, so clubs must await further instructions regarding training and competition. This applies to all codes.

SUNSHINE COAST HOME TO SELL WITH ALL THE PROCEEDS TO GO TO CHARITY A HOME with a heart-warming story is set to sell at auction for the first time in 27 years to raise money for The QLD Lung Transplant Support Group. The previous owner, Catherine Davies, was a 14-year heart-lung transplant survivor. After her passing, she left her home and all the proceeds of its sale to The Queensland Lung Transplant Support Group to provide accommodation for careers and families of the transplant patients close to the Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane. The home has stood unloved for a couple of years until recently when The QLD Lung Transplant Support Group could take the property over from the Public Trustee. One of the members from the group, Del, regularly drove down from Toowoomba and coordinated the clean-up effort required to take the home to market. “It is a fantastic cause, and we are incredibly humbled to be a part of it,” said Kate Cox, Licensed Real Estate Agent Reed & Co. Estate Agents, and the agent leading the marketing campaign for the property. “It is such an incredibly generous thing for Catherine to do, and considering the circumstances, we decided to help sell the noosatoday.com.au
house at no charge and not take any of the normal commission on the sale of this property.” Upon deciding to help sell the property, Kate Cox of Reed & Co.

WIDE APPEAL Interest is coming from across Australia and overseas for the auction on Saturday, August 14, of a vacant 764sq m block at 17 Dolphin Bay Dve, Sunshine Beach. The auction will be held at the offices of Sunshine Beach Real Estate in Duke St at 11am. Marketing agent Rob Spencer said interest was opening up even under these trying times of Covid lockdowns. Inquiry has been local as well as from Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth. Overseas interest has come from Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong. “It’s a great size block in a tranquil location,’’ Rob said. “With a gentle slope, you have a boardwalk to the beach as well as the proximity to Noosa National Park. “It is shaping up as a very competitive auction.’’ In the unit category, Kathy Wise at Sunshine Beach Real Estate has strong interest in an expansive two-bedroom, twobathroom, one-car apartment with views at 30 NOOSA TODAY

NORTH-FACING NOOSA SOUND LUXURY IF love is a privileged location on one of the most salubrious stretches of the pristine Noosa River, with swoon-worthy front row seats on your penthouse sky terrace, and a feast of seagull’s eye views, this is perfect. Similarly spectacular are sights from each level of eagles soaring skyward, leisure craft bobbing on the azure waters, and kids building sandcastles on the white-sand beach below follow by gorgeous sunsets. Enter the penthouse, and the plentiful, effectively defined spaces are obvious. Light, bright and whitewashed with sophistication yet a beachy vibe, there’s a definite nod to the Hamptons style and dressed to the nines with rugs, sumptuous sofas, rattan chairs, delectable artworks, and accessories, plus two buffets and a large table for lingering dinner parties. Indoors flows seamlessly to life alfresco on the 12m long wide terrace. With its northerly aspect and auto awning, it’s a joyful space for lunch and drinking in those 180-degree views south along the parkfringed Noosaville foreshore, the waterways around Noosa Heads, out to the Coloured Sands and naturally sublime sunsets over Mount Cooroy. The overall design aesthetic is complemented by the massive kitchen with adjacent breezeway and those with a penchant for entertaining will appreciate the stone-topped double island benches, marble splashbacks, walk-in pantry, highend appliances, as well as the custom-built beverage centre. It includes a temperaturecontrolled wine fridge and coffee machine. Note the blackwood-treads and the classy chandelier on the way upstairs where the major master suite, with freestanding volcanic stone tub and double vanity in the ensuite bathroom, has plantation shutters and bi-folds which open to the north-facing balcony. Similarly, the second and third king-size bedrooms which share a bathroom. The ‘stairway to heaven’ leads of course to the sky terrace where dining under the stars is amongst a multitude of romantic, as well as sun-lover options. “If you aspire to basking in the pleasure of a ravishingly-appointed penthouse with sky terrace, this is a sure-fire investment opportunity,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eric Seetoo, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday, 28 August, 2021. “Buyers will not compromise on having an exclusive Noosa Heads’ address especially on the waterfront in the premier location of Quamby Place on Noosa Sound. Sundrenched especially in winter, it affords the convenience of living in the hub, safe in the knowledge the investment
is underpinned by a never-ending pool of future buyers also wanting the same.” Facts & Features: Floor Area: 366m2; incl 11.2m x 5.5m sky terrace About: 3 levels; kitchen, living/dining & powder room downstairs; master bedroom & ensuite, 2nd & 3rd bedrooms + 2 bathrooms & laundry on 2nd level; rooftop deck with 180-degree unimpeded views; 12.3m x 3.7m terrace off indoor living; aircon/fans; terrace with awning; Weber BBQ; VJ-profile doors; chandelier in stairwell Kitchen: oversized; stone-topped benches/breakfast bar; central 3m island; glass pendants; Carrera marble splashbacks; walk-in pantry; Miele double oven; Wolf induction cooktop; integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge; high-end appliances, door out to breezeway; custom-built beverage centre includes Vintec wine fridge & Nespresso machine; .

SETTLER’S COVE APARTMENTS RAISE THE BAR SETTLER’S Cove is a beautiful and tranquil enclave that’s quickly becoming a by-word for Noosa luxury. And for good reason. Firstly, it’s a remarkably rare location. Set high on the banks above Noosa Sound, yet it’s only minutes from Noosa junction and Hastings Street. But beyond that, it is rare to find a site within inner-Noosa with no through traffic and surrounded by natural, protected bushland. For these reasons alone, it’s no wonder that apartments in L2, the most recent development in the Settler’s Cove precinct, are proving hugely popular among high-end luxury buyers from across the world. Just like its namesake, Lumina Residences at Settler’s Cove, it’s more than just a fantastic location that sets these stunning luxury apartments above others. It comes down to the combination of location, thoughtful and inspired design, build quality and craftsmanship that make the L2 apartments something special. Given the development’s popularity, the developer is offering the final two apartments in L2 on an expression of interest basis that concludes at the end of August. So what makes these particular apartments so special? Well, to start with, 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 front, and over the resort-style pool and tropical gardens
at the rear. Unusually high 2.65m ceilings in the living areas and bedrooms provide a cool, light airiness to the apartments. The main bedrooms also feature a walkin 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. An advanced automated lighting and security intercom system provides great convenience and security. Common facilities include a heated pool, jacuzzi, parkland barbeque and servery, air-conditioned gymnasium and an on-site manager.
