Call for review By Phil Jarratt

While no one from Noosa Council’s staff seems willing yet to go on the record about the state of Noosa Council’s organisational structure, Mayor Clare Stewart interrupted a holiday break to publish a statement of praise for the workforce, including the recently sacked director of corporate services, Michael Shave, while calling for an independent performance review. And soon-to-depart chief executive officer Brett de Chastel echoed the Mayor’s sentiments, speaking to Noosa Today. In the Mayor’s statement, published first on her Clare Stewart Noosa Mayor Facebook page, Cr Stewart expressed “disappointment”

at last week’s front page story, Sacking turmoil and continued: “I want to make it abundantly clear that our Council staff are affirmed in their efforts - something I have repeatedly stated over my time as Mayor. Our staff do a terrific job.” (The full statement is published on today’s Letters page.) Of Mr Shave, Cr Stewart wrote: “In regard to the recent departure of Michael Shave, Noosa Council’s former Director of Corporate Services, I want to reaffirm that the former director’s contribution to the organisation and the shire was significant. Much of the reason we are in such a good position financially is due to Michael’s outstanding ability and his fiscal responsibility. I feel a deep sense of regret about

his departure. At the same time, I would register that decisions of this nature demand our respect and confidentiality.” In a subsequent phone conversation with Noosa Today, the mayor reiterated hiring and firing staff was “the sole responsibility of the chief executive officer”. Asked why, if staff morale was as high as she claimed, she was pushing for an independent review, Cr Stewart said: “Because there’s always room for improvement.” Mr de Chastel declined to comment directly on individual staffing issues, but told Noosa Today: “Noosa Council is lucky to have great staff. We’ve always attracted good people and nothing has changed about that, but like every

council in Queensland we’ve been facing very heavy workloads due to government stimulus packages, a record capital works program and huge numbers of building applications to process. “But in relation to staff turnover, I report every three months and the most recent (August) showed 6.6 per cent compared with the average of 8-10 per cent. The next report will be higher, but when you consider that Mount Isa is at 52 per cent, there’s no comparison. Council is, however, facing the same challenges in staffing shortages as those faced by the building and hospitality industries, and we are working through them.” Continued page 6

You don’t stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing, so they say. Today is the United Nation’s International day of older persons and there are plenty of older people living well in Noosa, enjoying their lives and doing amazing things as we know by the many stories we have had the privilege to write about them. Just this week we have a story about an 80-year-old woman about to gain her black belt in karate. Last Census showed almost a quarter of the Noosa population was aged 65 years and over. If you’ve ever volunteered for anything in Noosa, be it events, sporting activities or the arts you’d be aware of the number of older people who have the skills to make things happen. Our community groups, businesses and schools would never exist without our older population.It’s also International Coffee Day today so combine the two and shout an older person a coffee. As the school holidays wrap up the events continue. This weekend is packed with plenty of offer. The Noosa Trail Walk will see plenty of people hiking the hinterland trails. If art is your interest there are more than 100 artists across the shire to visit who have opened their studios and galleries as part of Noosa Open Studios. And on Sunday the Noosa Polo Cup will be hosted at the Noosa Country Polo Club.

Ice Man saves day By Lee McCarthy Last week we published a story in Noosa Today about the new UHF repeater which has been upgraded by The Double Island Point UHF Committee. The repeater offers a communication channel and allows Double Island Point visitors and Rainbow Beach locals to stay in touch with vital services and improve communication on the popular stretch of beach where there is no phone reception. Last week The Ice Man, Rob Gough who with wife Martine Lokan runs the vital service of providing supplies to campers and visitors to all beaches across the Cooloola Coast, put Channel 7 into good use. Rob said: “At 9.30am on 25 September, I received an emergency call on the Double Island repeater, Channel 7 which I then relayed to Martine who notified Parks of the fire and its location”.

“With the help of the students and parents from St Andrew’s Anglican College, Peregian Beach we extinguished the grass fire. The Teewah Rural Fire Brigade arrived and hosed down the burnt ground to make sure there was no chance of the fire reigniting. It could’ve been worse if not for quick action and response from vigilant campers. “Only recently recommissioned, the repeater is already doing its job! Please refrain from using channels 37 and 7 for idle chat on the beach and congratulations to the team involved in getting the repeater working again.” The repeater provides a much-needed communication channel in the Double Island Point area, so people can still access weather updates, beach conditions, tidal alerts, and emergency information even if they are in an area where their mobile telephone does not receive reception.

Fires like this one on Teewah Beach can be prevented with communication enabling a quick response.

Biosphere set to frock up The Noosa Biosphere Wild Koala Gala is set to be a celebration of community action for koala conservation and sustainable living in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve. The highly anticipated event will be held at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas on Tuesday 2 November to raise awareness and much-needed funds to save Noosa’s treasured wild koala population. Hosted by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) with event partner, Queensland Koala Crusaders, this year’s Wild Koala Gala shines a light on what we can all do to secure a future for our precious koalas. Rex Halverson, Chair of the NBRF says the Wild Koala Gala is an opportunity to frock up for a cause and be empowered to take action to

protect the future of Noosa’s koala population. “We’re fortunate in Noosa to have a significant wild koala population, however, their long-term survival in the area is under constant threat. Our aim for the Gala is for the community to hear about the ground-breaking research and on-ground action being undertaken in the Noosa Biosphere, and to be inspired to learn how Noosa could become known as Australia’s leading koala conservation community,” said Mr Halverson. Local koala experts will present their innovative research, including Professor Peter Timms, University of the Sunshine Coast, Dr Romane Cristescu, USC Detection Dogs for Conservation, Meghan Halverson, Queensland Koala Crusaders, Rosie Booth, Australia Zoo

Wildlife Hospital and Rachel Lyons, Noosa & District Landcare. Guests can expect an exciting afternoon of great food and entertainment with celebrity chef Matt Golinski serving a sumptuous twocourse menu with amuse bouche and matching wines, while guests are treated to an ecofashion parade with prizes for best dressed, plus an after-party on the Terrace with pop-up bar by Land & Sea Brewery. A silent auction will help kickstart a new Wild Koala Fund with all proceeds from the event going towards developing a shire-wide koala conservation, research and education initiative. Meghan Halverson, Ambassador for Queensland Koala Crusaders said the organ-

isation embraced collaboration in koala conservation efforts. “Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation’s Wild Koala Initiative is an important step in working towards a better future for our local koala population and we are excited to be involved in the Gala and support the new initiative,” said Mrs Halverson. The inaugural Noosa Biosphere Awards will be launched this year, recognising the people, organisations and businesses championing environmental and sustainability excellence. Category award winners will be announced at the event. Tickets to the Noosa Biosphere Wild Koala Gala are now on sale at noosabiosphere.org. au/gala

Future ownership of Sunrise shops considered By Margaret Maccoll Noosa Councillor Joe Jurisevic’s aim to determine the pros and cons of council’s role in the future ownership of the Sunrise neighbourhood shopping centre was squashed last month by concerns any uncertainty of ownership may deter potential tenant IGA from moving to the centre. Many in the community have argued this is a space Council shouldn’t be in, Cr Jurisevic said. He said Council got into the space because no one wanted to build a shopping centre but questioned whether their role as landlord should continue or whether they would be better placed to sell the property and make use of the money elsewhere. Officers told Council’s Ordinary Meeting

the shopping centre had lost up to $500,000 in rent over the past three years while it was without a major tenant. Councillors agreed at the meeting to enter into a commercial lease of Shop 8 with Tro Management Australia Pty Ltd for a 10 year term with an initial 12 month rent-free period. They also agreed to a capital investment of up to $700,000 in budget review 2 or 3 to fund expansion works required once the lease was finalised as well as investigating options for future centre site enhancements to improve its commercial return. Officers said council could expect a 10 per cent return on the centre after the tenant was secured and 12 month free rent period completed which would be about $300,000 a year. They said it would take about six years to

achieve payback on its $700,000 capital investment and it made good financial sense to retain the asset during this time. Cr Frank Wilkie said it would be unwise to consider divesting the centre while council was still negotiating the lease with potential tenant IGA. I think it sends mixed messages. It’s an instability it may create in the minds of the leasee, he said. Mayor Clare Stewart said it was council’s responsibility to be prudent with ratepayers money and fiscally responsible. “We have to look long term at how we can be financially responsible,“ she said. Chief executive officer Brett de Chastel said other councils around the area owned a variety of commercial enterprises including shopping centre, pubs and airports.

AFL joy for Peter By Phil Jarratt No doubt there were plenty of excited former Melburnians around Noosa on Saturday night as the Demons came from behind to spectacularly win their first AFL premiership since 1964, but few as pumped up as former Demon Peter Richards. Peter, now 88, and with wife Liz a winter resident of Sunshine Beach for more than 20 years, was so excited when Noosa Today called him in the hours leading up to the game that we had to put the interview off until the next day. Then, still jubilant but calmer, the onetime half forward was happy to share both his joy at the result and an analysis of the game. “I was there at the MCG when the Demons won the premiership in 1964,” he said. “But it was a very different game to the one we watched last night, because football has changed so dramatically. In our day you never left your man, today they roam wherever they want.” Peter’s football career began when the country boy from Warburton in the Yarra Val-

ley was sent to Melbourne Grammar in 1947. He recalls: “In those days Grammar was a recruiting ground for Melbourne Football Club, so naturally I became a Demons supporter. In our boarding house of about 100 boys we had 12 in the First 18 and we won the premiership quite a bit. In my last two years, 1951 and ’52, I played in the team that beat Scotch College for the premiership. That was how I started.” After school he took a gap year and went home to the Yarra Valley, where he helped Warburton win a premiership. “After one of our wins, a fellow came into the dressing rooms and asked me if I’d like to come down to Melbourne and train with the Demons the next year. I said I would, and 1955 was my first year there, along with a few other boys from Grammar, including Geoff Case, who went on to play in four of Melbourne’s premiership wins.” But it was another famous Geoff who stood in Peter’s way to the firsts. He recalls: “Norm Smith, the coach said to me, ‘Peter, you’ve got some ability but unfortunately you’re a left-footed half forward and we’ve already got

Car and moped collide in Maroochydore

one.’ He was referring to Geoff Tunbridge, who was an absolute star. I became his understudy, waiting for him to have an injury so I’d get a game in the firsts, but of course he never missed a game. So I played two years in the seconds because the Demons had such a powerful side under Ron Barassi.” In the end Peter’s career as a Demon was cut short because of his pharmacy studies. He says: “[Coach] Norm Smith didn’t like it if you missed training, so I went back to the Old Melburnians who had a good side in the A Grade of the amateur league and did three seasons and won two premierships.” So it was a good knock from a very handy player, but Peter grows serious as he finishes his history as a player. “For God’s sake don’t make out I was a star,” he says. “Just a bloke who loved his footy and a lifelong Demons’ supporter.” Recovering from a recent stroke, Peter is currently in a wheelchair, but he says his legs are coming back. “I can use the right one now, but I need the left one back. It’s the one I kick with!”

Vaccination mandated for interstate truckies All truck divers entering Queensland from another state - along with those entering on a freight pass - must be vaccinated with at least one dose under new regulations announced by the Queensland Government on Tuesday. The move comes after several freight drivers entered the state while infectious and moved around the community recently. Under the changes, all truck drivers and those using the freight pass must have at least one dose of a Covid vaccine by 15 October and have their second dose (or a booking) by 15 November. Freight drivers entering Queensland from anywhere will also be required to produce a negative Covid test result at the border from within a seven-day period and maintain a seven-day rolling test regime while operating in the state. A dedicated pop-up vaccination clinic will be established near the Queensland-New South Wales border to support the new vaccination rules for truck drivers.

NEWS

Horseriding business owner Nicky talks about the impact on her livelihood.

Quarry concerns voiced By Margaret Maccoll With mental health issues on the rise and residents deserting the area, Kin Kin has become a community destroyed by one business, Save Noosa Hinterland president Sarah Keating told a public meeting at Pomona last Thursday to discuss Noosa Council’s court action again the Kin Kin Quarry. “It’s difficult for a small town like Kin Kin that the Minister has probably never visited,“ she said. Sarah praised Mayor Clare Stewart for listening to the community and taking action against the quarry and thanked Noosa MP Sandy Bolton for her continuing pressure on the Transport and Main Roads Minister and department to increase safety on the roads and seek changed legislation to improve the situation. Ms Bolton said it had been a long and difficult journey but the community had become unified like never before. She said there was an increase in police presence and heavy haulage compliance, crews were constantly repairing damage from the trucks (an indication the roads weren’t able to deal with it) and an assessment of the road currently underway. Local resident Nicky told the meeting how her horse riding business had lost one-third of its business because the quarry trucks, in numbers up to 288 per day, made it unsafe for her horses to access Noosa Trails. Residents raised concerns about the safety of school children on their way to and from the school bus, those who walked or rode pushbikes alongside roads with no footpaths and crossed roads to schools, day care or playgrounds, including Hill Street, Pioneer Road and Reserve Street with trucks thundering past. Others spoke about trucks travelling on the roads as early as 4am, were sure they were speeding on roads and knew they were taking alternative routes.

The meeting held at Majestic Theatre Pomona. Police OIC Dan McNamara said police monitored the roads every day. He said there were almost no incidences of trucks detected speeding, though he acknowledged truck drivers radioed one another to warn them when police were sighted on the roads. He urged residents to email him if they witnessed trucks breaking the rules. Cr Stewart said it had been more than a year since she initiated stakeholder roundtable meetings on the issue and heard the angst, frustration and the impact the trucks had made on peoples’ lives. She thanked residents who had gathered information and written affidavits to sup-

port council’s application lodged recently in the Planning and Environment Court calling for the enforcement of reduced quarry truck movements. “In court we can’t guarantee what the outcome will be, but your voices will be heard,“ she said. Council chief executive officer Brett de Chastel told attendees there would be two stages in the court process with an application for interim orders to stop truck movements during school bus times before a permanent application for reduced truck numbers which was expected to play out through a “full blown trial“.

Council is very committed to this project and has put a lot of resources into it, but the reality is, the quarry is there and we have to be realistic about what we ask for, he said. Cr Stewart said the court would order mandatory mediation and they would be taking advice from their solicitors and barristers. She said if council was successful in its application, the court would make orders which, if broken, would be a serious breach of the law. To break it would be in contempt of court, they may face jail time. “They would be mad to do that,“ she said. Mr de Chastel said if a court order was made, it would be up to council to enforce it.

Mayor calls for review From page 1 In relation to Michael Shave’s departure, a former senior local government officer told Noosa Today that it would be “most unusual” for a mayor and councillors not to be made aware of the sacking of a senior executive before it happened, but Noosa councillors have confirmed to Noosa Today they were told only that Mr Shave was “planning to resign”. Meanwhile, the rumbles of discontent at the Pelican Street chambers continue to grow. Sources within, and close to the executive team and its staff of more than 370 told Noosa Today this week the organisation was “on its knees” following an unprecedented run of terminations and resignations. As well as the director of corporate services, recent departures have included the environment manager, senior environment officer, climate change officer, environment planner, executive assistant to the Mayor, manager of civil operations and two civil operations officers, works coordinator, and environment services officer. The depletion of the ranks in the environment and sustainability department is seen as particularly disturbing, and possibly reflective of a new ordering of priorities by the current council, with staff advice repeatedly ignored. “The staff still there are walking around like stunned mullet,” one source told Noosa Today. “Things have reached the stage where the ratepayers have to start asking the hard questions and hold Council accountable. The ratepayers pretty much went into hibernation over Covid. There have been opportunities for them to express their opinions and ask questions, but not many, and as a result the level of transparency in Council is at a historic low.” According to another source, Council’s financials still look good because of the strong planks of financial planning put in place by the executive team – particularly accountant Michael Shave – in the period immediately after de-amalgamation, an opinion supported by

Former corporate services director Michael Shave in 2018. Picture: SUPPLIED the mayor in her statement. But, the source said, organisational instability could now threaten that too. When Mr de Chastel retires next month, director of community services Kerry Contini will be the only member of the executive team left with significant experience at Noosa Council. “When you’ve got a council that’s not only under-performing but is also losing all the talent from its staff, you have a serious problem,” the source said. But a senior staffer discounted the idea that the $50 million capital works program was putting undue pressure on staff. “Our staff levels are sufficient to run the capital works program,” the staffer said. “If there’s a problem with that you’d have to say it was a management problem.”

Rudd’s China warning By Arthur Gorrie The region’s best known China expert, former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, has warned of a growing threat from China and what he says is a seriously flawed Australian response. Mr Rudd, who grew up just over the Sunshine Coast regional border and now lives at Noosa, has recently been interviewed by German publication Spiegel International and written for French newspaper Le Monde, on the AUKUS deal to provide Australia with UK and US nuclear powered submarines. The deal effectively breaks a major contract with France to buy diesel-electric submarines, known to have significant disadvantages compared to the more stealthy, self-contained and long range nuclear option. The deal has outraged France and prompted thinly disguised threats from China. Mr Rudd said the relevant issues could have been handled better, warning of a need for western unity at a time of looming cold war with China. Spiegel International quotes him saying “China presents a significant threat,“ which is why “the West must work together rather than engage in the kind of bickering triggered by the recent submarine deal between Australia and the United States“. In the Le Monde article, he calls the deal a “foreign policy debacle” which “runs counter to the views of most Australians“. “There may be important strategic or technical reasons to change course with the type of submarines that Australia now needs to build. But none of these justify the treatment of France in this way,” he says. “These are major matters of state. And they

will be deliberated on by the Australian people soberly during our upcoming national elections.” He says the French should have been consulted and, at least given the opportunity to save face by having a tender process for nuclear-powered subs. He told the Sydney Morning Herald: “When the Labor government I led prepared the 2009 Defence White Paper, it was the first time since the 1960s that a white paper had named China as an emerging strategic challenge, for which the Liberals attacked me as an old ’Cold War Warrior’. “Based on Defence advice, we agreed to double the conventional submarine fleet to 12 boats, increase the surface fleet by a third, and proceed with the acquisition of up to 100 Joint Strike Fighters. “Over the past eight years, however, this vital defence replacement project has ground to a halt as the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison government – and their six Defence Ministers along the way – flip-flopped between Japanese, French and now unspecified Anglo-American suppliers. “The result: not a single keel laid, up to $4 billion wasted, and the deep alienation of our Japanese and French strategic partners. It has been an essay in financial waste, national security policy incompetence and egregious foreign policy mismanagement,“ he said. Spiegel International says Australia sits on the fault line between East and West. “With its close economic ties to China as a supplier of raw materials and foodstuffs, Australia recognised earlier than other countries the opportunities presented by Beijing’s rise – and the risks,“ it says.

Tokyo Olympians and Paralympians celebrated

Jordan Briggs on the track in number 23.

Go Jordan! By Margaret Maccoll Jordan Briggs is on a path to achieving his goal to race Formula 1 after last weekend winning the inaugural Queensland 4SS State go-karting trophy after only 12 months in the sport. The 14-year-old Sunshine Beach State High School student said being into cars and with an interest in driving fast, go-karting had been his dream since the age of 10 that was realised last September when his parents bought him a 4SS - four-stroke cart. “I was not very good until October. That’s when I found my groove, and have been at the top of my class since,” Jordan said. With Covid-restrictions limiting competitions across borders Jordan has competed over the past 12 months at tracks at Cooloola, Bundaberg, Ipswich and Warwick in the junior

division for 12-16 year olds. Last weekend Jordan was flying around the track at 90km/hr, competing against 21 drivers from across the state in his class in a competition that involved three heats then a final 12lap race to win the Queensland championship. Jordan’s mother Catherine said while there was the occasional collision, go-karting was a good community sport that was teaching her son an array of skills. “Jordan is quite a calm driver. He’s very good at it and he seems to be very aware of other drivers,” she said. “The people have been lovely and Jordan has made some really good friends.” Jordan is already looking ahead for a “slightly faster car” and would “like to do Formula 1 one day”.

Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic athletes from Queensland, including Noosa’s Kareena Lee, will be cheered at the official welcome home celebration in Brisbane on Friday 8 October. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said Olympic and Paralympic athletes from Queensland would reunite at the Covidsafe event at King George Square so a home crowd could applaud their fantastic achievements. “The welcome will be even more exciting, knowing that we have also been chosen to host the Games in 2032,” she said. “For the first time, Olympians and Paralympians will have a joint celebration, and I invite Queenslanders to share the atmosphere on Friday for a day to remember.” Queensland-based athletes won 56 medals at the Olympics and Paralympics, with a 28-medal haul in individual and team events at each of the Games. These included Australian Paralympians from Queensland winning nine gold, eight silver and 11 bronze, contributing 28 medals to Australia’s total of 80. Australian Olympians based in Queensland brought home 28 of Australia’s total of 46 medals at the Olympics, with 13 gold, four silver and 11 bronze. Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said he was honoured to be awarding them with the Keys to the City. “This is a great opportunity for kids to start dreaming of emulating the success of our Olympians and Paralympians on home soil when the Games are held in Brisbane in 2032,” he said. “This Olympic Team was not only one of the most successful to leave Australia but

The official Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games welcome home celebration will take place at King George Square, Brisbane, noon-1pm on Friday 8 October.

The best polo players in Queensland, good food locally prepared and a program of competition and traditional activities promise to make Noosa Polo Cup this Sunday an exciting day for all the community. “The idea is for people in the region to come and enjoy the polo,” Noosa Country Polo president Niall Coburn said. The Noosa Polo Cup is the closing event of the Official Queensland Polo Association season. The preliminary fixtures will take place on Saturday 2 October which will determine the competition schedule for finals day on the Sunday. There will be a charity cup raising funds for Katie Rose Cottage and the Noosa Polo Cup. Niall said the best players in Queensland, all having played in the Australian Open would be competing in the games and the horses, a mix of Australian stock horses, thoroughbreds and Arabians came from across the country. “They’re a special breed of horse,” he said. “They love the game. They know where you’re going and they bring you to the ball. You work as a team with your horse.” The game will be played in four chukkas, each lasting 7.5 minutes with fresh horses playing each chukka. In addition to the games and in the tradition of polo there will be fashions on the field, the men’s and ladies’ dash and the stomping of the divots. The event has been well supported by the community in its provision of food and drinks and even helicopter transfers as well as sponsorship. Niall, a corporate investigator, had a vision to establish a polo club, not as an elitist activity but along the lines of polo in Argentina and Spain where it is accessible to everyone. The Noosa Country Polo Club is a not for

Watch for wildlife With local wildlife on the move during spring, it’s important to be alert when out and about. That’s the message from Council’s environment team as the weather warms up. “Koalas, kangaroos and reptiles such as snakes and lizards are all active at this time of year, so there is a greater chance of coming across them on local roads, particularly from late afternoon onwards,” principal environment officer Peter Milne said. “Many of our native animals face a wide range of threats, but by taking a little extra care when driving we can all help reduce their risk of being struck by vehicles. “If you do come into contact with sick or injured wildlife, please call the RSPCA hotline on 1300 ANIMAL to arrange for assistance.” Mr Milne said birds too were active during spring and some species could become aggressive in defence of their nests. “When we think of swooping birds we often think of magpies, but other birds too can behave in this way when defending their nests, including plovers, butcherbirds, pee-wees and myna birds,” he said. “It’s good practice to wear a broadbrimmed hat and sunglasses when outside and if you’re walking in a known swooping hotspot, take an umbrella or, better still, avoid the area by taking a different route.” Mr Milne said Council may relocate aggressive birds on public land if they have the potential to cause injury, but it’s a last resort.

What’s behind the door? The Sunshine Coast’s annual event to unlock the region’s most historic and architecturally significant buildings, Sunshine Coast Open House, is up and running for 2021. Governor of Queensland Paul de Jersey launched the fourth annual program at Caloundra Regional Gallery, ahead of Sunshine Coast Open House weekend which will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 23-24. It marks a welcome return to people being able to inspect properties of historic and cultural significance to the area after last year’s event was restricted due to Covid-19 lockdowns. Other special guests at the launch included Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson, Australian Institute of Architects Queensland Chapter president Dr Michael Lavery and Sunshine Coast Open House ambassador and architect Malcolm Middleton. Gubbi Gubbi elder Dr Hope O’Chin provided an inspirational Welcome to Country that embraced both the past and the future.

Sunshine Coast Open House is a free community event which provides visitors with the rare opportunity to tour a remarkable range of architecturally diverse, sustainable, and historic buildings across the region. Visitors will enjoy discovering long-kept secrets behind some of the region’s most intriguing buildings such as the hinterland’s Bankfoot House and Fairview (Pattemore House), Caloundra’s lighthouses, mid-century Wilson Beach House, and Gabriel Poole’s Crew House and Quadropod House - both at Doonan thanks to a number of renowned Sunshine Coast architects and informed volunteers holding special guided tours. Pomona’s historic Majestic Theatre, as well as the Railway Gallery, are among the featured buildings. So is the David Teeland property, The Paddock, at Tinbeerwah. Sunshine Coast Open House committee chair and Australian Institute of Architects Qld Chapter councillor Lindy Atkin said 25 build-

ings were opening and offering guided and self-guided tours with the aim of encouraging the general public to explore, re-examine and engage with the region’s built environment. “This is the one weekend each year when locals and visitors can enjoy rare access to our region’s buildings and have the opportunity to meet the people, architects, designers, planners, engineers, and historians whose contributions make the Sunshine Coast such a special and unique place,” Ms Atkin said. “Sunshine Coast Open House prides itself on showcasing the rich architectural diversity of the region and provides a unique opportunity for people passionate about the coast to explore and discover its inspiring architecture and cultural heritage.” Mayor Mark Jamieson said Sunshine Coast Open House provided the opportunity to see some of the most impressive and interesting attributes of the buildings in our region. “Sunshine Coast Council is proud to be one

of the founding partners of Sunshine Coast Open House and a principal partner in this year’s program through our heritage levy,” Mayor Jamieson said. “It’s a fantastic way for the community to see and consider how architecture and design have contributed to the healthy, smart, creative region we know today. “The range of heritage buildings on the program this year are a great demonstration of the vibrant architectural design and consideration of our natural environment that went into the development of some of our buildings in decades gone by.” Sunshine Coast Open House is part of the Open House Worldwide network, founded by Open House London in 1992 and now in 46plus cities around the world. It receives support from the Sunshine Coast Council Cultural Heritage Levy. People wishing to volunteer or learn more about Sunshine Coast Open House can visit sunshinecoastopenhouse.com.au

Youth need tools to act Young people in the Noosa area strongly support efforts to tackle climate change but few feel equipped to take effective action, according to a survey conducted by USC’s Sustainability Research Centre. The survey of 425 students in Years 7-12 from seven secondary schools found 85 per cent believed the climate was changing, and 68 per cent believed the change was completely or mainly human-caused. But only 15 per cent thought they were prepared, informed and capable of taking action to address the issue. While less than one-third thought climate change would affect them personally, 85 per cent of respondents thought it would negatively affect future generations. Sustainability Research Centre Co-Director Professor Claudia Baldwin said this indicated the students did not fully understand the urgent need to act now to mitigate climate change. “Noosa has declared a climate emergency, and the most recent evidence from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicates that we are on track to reach 1.5 degrees of warming before 2040,” she said. “It is safe to conclude that the decisions we make in the next few years will largely determine the quality of life for decades and even centuries to come. “Students of today will be influencing policy and will be the decision-makers of the future, so it is important that they understand the solutions to climate change.” The survey was conducted to assist planning for next month’s Noosa Youth Climate Summit, which will be run by the Noosa Environmental Education Hub with support from Noosa Council and USC, to enable students to develop actions for school, home and beyond. Professor Baldwin said many young people were expressing their concerns about climate change through social movements but felt

overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem. “We know that when people are informed and knowledgeable about an issue, they feel more confident to take action,” she said. “Many students had positive experiences from being involved in environmental projects such as clean-up or planting activities. “Students need to feel their views count and they can make a difference, so it is important to know what they are thinking and provide platforms, such as the Summit, for it to be expressed.” Professor Baldwin said other findings from the survey included: School, television/news and social media were the main sources of climate change information. Scientists were the most trusted sources of information. Secondary school teaching about actions to address climate change could be improved, with only 51 percent indicating that teaching about mitigation was adequate. The Noosa Youth Climate Summit will be held from 9am to 2pm Saturday 9 October and is open to secondary students. For details and registration see noosaeehub.com.au The survey of students was conducted as part of a collaborative international study by Professor Baldwin and Professor Gary Pickering of Brock University in Canada. Professor Brock is also an adjunct researcher with USC.

SunnyKids are grateful Incredible commitment from the Noosa community means the world to vulnerable individuals and families experiencing domestic and family violence. SunnyKids were the grateful recipients of the Noosa Mingle with the Mayor Ball where over $280,000 was raised to support the increased need within the Noosa shire. General manager Kathleen Hope is overwhelmed with the response and believes this will make an enormous difference to vulnerable people in need of safety and support. “This would not be possible without the hard work and tireless efforts of WomenKind Inc organising committee and businesswoman Josanne Falla who moved heaven and earth to bring this event together,” Ms Hope said. “The fabulous Kay McGrath supported the courageous lead sponsor, Noosa4Sale Principal Alex Harris along with no more fake smiles Annie Jones to bravely share their journey with the room on the night. With so many others sharing the love for a great cause. “SunnyKids have been working hard to support women and children experiencing violence and harm in the Noosa shire for many years. With limited resources, we have struggled to meet the need in the area and established a waiting list mid 2020 for the first time ever. “We intend to immediately invest these funds into the SunnyKids Cooroy Family Support Centre by increasing the centre to full time. In addition, with the support of Noosa council, we will establish a second site in Noosa providing a fulltime counselling service to those in need.

Help veterans get moving By Abbey Cannan

SunnyKids were the grateful recipients of the funds raised at the Noosa Mingle with the Mayor Ball. “This is an absolutely fantastic result for increased services, however, and more importantly, this event helped raise awareness of this important issue and the effects on children in particular living with trauma,” Ms Hope said. Patron, Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart highlighted the importance of the community coming together in solidarity against violence of all forms. “We all have a responsibility to protect those affected by violence and the Noosa community really do stand up together to make a difference. I am so proud of the Noosa community for standing up for their own and saying enough is enough,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

A series of free events will be held in Noosa to motivate veterans in the community to get moving during Veterans’ Health Week. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs conducts the free Veteran Health-oriented events each year, with three sessions in the Noosa area on 18, 20 and 22 October. DVA Veterans’ Men’s Health Peer Educator Lew MacLeod encouraged all veterans in the community to get involved and get moving to improve their physical and mental health. “It’s all about keeping you fit and healthy and being a part of a community that understands your needs,” he said. “We want them to have a bit of fun together and socialise while getting active. “These sessions are veteran-specific or injury-specific, so the exercises are aimed at the individual’s issues. “Some guys can probably only just get in the pool, but they’re coming together as a group of friends and supporting each other and they’re getting low impact exercise. “The Noosa Springs Fitness Centre is really one of the best facilities around and they’ve got state-of-the-art machinery. They have a holistic approach.” A hydrotherapy pool exercise session will be held on Monday 18 October from noon to 1pm at Noosa Springs Fitness Centre in the 25m heated pool. On Wednesday 20 October, a mobility and stretching exercise followed by a lunch and health presentation, will be held from noon to 2pm at Noosa Springs Fitness Centre and Relish Restaurant.

Jammin for two causes By Margaret Maccoll When Justeen Gregory contracted motor neurone disease in 2016 her son, instrumentalist and composer Shenzo Gregorio, decided to use music to raise money for research into the disease. The Gypsy Jazz player pitched an idea to charity MND and Me Foundation to run a 40hour Jammin event, borrowing the concept from 40-hour famine, with the aim to raise $40,000 for MND research. The first 40-hour-Jammin was held in Brisbane in 2017 with more than 40 musicians performing for 40 hours. Shenzo said his mother, who was at the end of life stage of her illness, was able to see the first event before passing away just two weeks later. For the next two years the fundraiser was held on Magnetic Island. Last year, because of Covid restrictions, a scaled down version was organised and hosted by Kendall Permaculture Farm in Kin Kin and the event was repeated again last Saturday at Kin Kin with a range of performers playing for eight hours to raise money for both MND and the artists whose careers have been impacted by Covid. “It takes a lot of organising and there’s the possibility of a shutdown,” Shenzo said. “This way we were still able to put on a show in some capacity.” Zaia Kendall was happy for the Kendall Permaculture Farm to host the event last year when Covid restrictions threatened to cause its cancellation. She said the event was lucky this year to gain sponsorship from Tourism Noosa. Zaia said the farm had operated in Kin Kin for 16 years to become self-sufficient in energy and food providing food for farm occupants as well as 10-15 local families. The farm also runs courses and workshops

Dementia care update By Abbey Cannan During Dementia Action Week, NoosaCare relaunched their revised dementia friendly communities memory support pack and revealed the opening date of their new dementia project. The 32 bed, two-storey residential building, welcome centre and cafe, designed specifically to support those living with dementia, will be set within stunning gardens that reflect the natural beauty of Noosa. Once completed, NoosaCare will be one of the largest providers of dementia care on the Sunshine Coast. NoosaCare chief executive officer Megan D’Elton said they had a great turn out for the project update, with the opening day now confirmed for 1 November. “We’re beginning the entry process with a lot of people on our waitlist and have 15 people ready to move in immediately,“ she said. Community members, sponsors, dementia cafe members and volunteers were in attendance at the open day. Those attending had the opportunity to hear Ms D’Elton discussing what happens behind the scenes to deliver the best of dementia care, hotel services manager and new dementia project manager Jamie Oakley talking about the building process and the advanced technology that will be used to support the residents and group care manager Sonya Swann discussing the dementia care model and lifestyle choices for residents. “A huge thank you goes to Tewantin Noosa RSL, LiveLife Pharmacy Group, Noosa Rotary Group, Judy Diggle in honour of John Hay and the Chandler family in honour of Stan Chandler,” NoosaCare Executive Assistant Danah Wood said. “This incredible group is supporting the new dementia project by naming the villas and cafe/welcome centre and funding the out-

and you can see they’re still very shell-shocked because they’re dealing with the stress of a loved one with a diagnosis,” she said. “We’re definitely going to put our arms around them and support them and do what we can to help.” Ms Wood said they created the support pack due to the gap in information available. “It can take up to four years for someone to be diagnosed directly with dementia,” she said. “So, you’re going through a constant battle trying to work out what’s going on and then all of sudden you’re hit with it and you’re not quite sure what the next step is. “The pack is a guide with the next steps and it also gives you all of the contacts within our community. It has a handy little checklist. It will hopefully make the journey a bit smoother for families.”

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton joined NoosaCare CEO Megan D’Elton at the dementia cafe to launch the revised dementia friendly support pack. Ms Wood said when speaking with a person diagnosed with dementia, it was important to constantly support them and never question their emotions. “What they’re feeling is 100 per cent real in their reality,” she said. “At NoosaCare we’re constantly educating our staff with how we communicate with people with dementia, because with our new dementia project we will have more and more residents living here with dementia and it’s something that the whole community needs to get behind.” Any enquiries and to obtain a copy of the dementia friendly communities memory support pack email Danah Wood at dwood@noosacare.com.au

Noosa Hinterland Bed and Breakfast owner Bec Lonergan said her two French Bulldogs, Waldorf and Astoria, who have almost 15,000 followers on Instagram, inspired them to make their accommodation pet-friendly. “A lot of people now consider their dogs to be a huge part of the family and won’t travel without them,” she said. “We are the same, our dogs are like our kids and we want to be able to enjoy holidays with them, so we wanted to give other people the chance to do that too, after always struggling to find pet-friendly accommodation on the Sunshine Coast. “Even our guests that don’t bring their pets with them have just love having dogs around. They say it makes them feel more at home and the dogs make them feel more relaxed.” Bec said there was plenty to do around Noosa with your furry friends, and she recently discovered a pet-friendly adventure business, Eco Noosa. “We recently took our two French bulldogs on the Noosa River with Eco Noosa River Adventures in their Electric Picnic Boat,” she said. “The great thing is that the business isn’t just limited to boats, you can take your dog on their Nauticycle water bikes, or SUPs for the more adventurous. “It really matters to support local businesses where possible, especially in these times, as these owners are your friends and neighbours. “There are also a bunch of dog friendly restaurants along Noosa River, or closer to our home in the Hinterland. We love heading out to Pomona Distilling Company. They love dogs

Terella Brewing is also a great spot for a relaxed day out with the dogs.” Bec said their dogs Waldorf and Astoria started an Instagram movement called Boujee Tribe. “It’s a day once a month where hundreds of Instagram dogs get dressed up in their wildest

boujeeist outfit and spread positive vibes,” she said. “It can be pretty funny having Instafamous pups because you’ll find me around the place doing a crazy photoshoot with the dogs. They might be dressed up in denim jackets or a tuxedo and tutu or even driving their leopard print Porsche somewhere, so they certainly get a bit of attention, and it’s so good to see people cracking up when they see us.”

A welcome to web world By Phil Jarratt How long does it take to build a website? Forever, because it’s never quite finished. I heard that truism a long time ago, which is why, apart from a couple of failed attempts to build a DIY Wordpress, it’s taken me 20 years or so to do it. Also I’m a little bit frightened of people who build websites. I don’t know how to build a house, but somehow that doesn’t bother me. Web builders are different. I once read a definition of a web programmer: a person who fixes a problem you didn’t know you had in a way you don’t understand. That pretty much sums up my anxiety. But of course web people have jokes from the inside looking out, such as this one. If doctors were treated like web designers: “While you’re in there getting the tumour, just fix up my nose and put in some breast implants. I can’t pay you for it, but I promise to tell all my friends and it’ll look great in your portfolio.” So when Jason de King, a bloke I enjoy the odd surf with, and who in his spare time runs a web design company called Bongo Media, offered to build me a website, I was thinking about all the problems I didn’t know I had while he was probably wondering how many breast implants I’d want. But Jason came to web design through advertising, not programming. And all the best advertising creatives I’ve ever worked with know that confusion and complexity never work. They need to get your attention and keep it until they’ve made the sale. I decided it was time I was welcomed to web world. Says Jason: “While programmers were writing code, I was creating ads, and nothing has changed.” Indeed. While Jason is much, much younger than his client, he still started building websites back in those prehistoric times when the technology was newish and you had to dial-up

Noosa Media’s Jason de King (left) at work with the author. your internet connection. He recalls: “That experience is priceless, it makes you a problem solver. Websites were completely different 20 years ago. They were more complex and more animated, which is strange when you consider how raw the technology was.” One of Jason’s earliest clients was the famous face of Demtel, Tim Shaw. You remember, but wait, there’s more! The set of steak knives bloke. “A very smart guy,” says Jason. “But I’m not giving away a set of steak knives with every book purchase,” I retort.

“No mate, we’ve built websites for really fascinating characters and for Joe’s Fish and Chips, and everything in between,” Jason assures me. “Every client has different needs.” So I explained what I thought I wanted and we set to work. I want to sell my books off the site, of course, but I also wanted it to be a repository of video clips, articles and audio files detailing the many projects and adventures I’ve enjoyed over half a century of storytelling. Kind of like a virtual museum. Although he’d warned me that an e-commerce site takes many, many hours to create,

and even when you think you’ve finished, you have to check, double-check and check again, once Jason got started working on the content I provided, things began to move quite quickly. In fact, on a scale of difficulty from one-10, he gave me a two. “Because you’re a writer. The content is always the biggest killer when you’re building a site. Everyone always says they want a site but when you come to build it they don’t know what content they want to put there. We often find that we have to create the content from scratch, but in your case, you knew the stories you wanted to tell, all you had to do was deliver them. That made it very easy to work with.” Having now lived and surfed around Noosa for more than a decade, Jason and wife and surf photographer Fenna de King are now focused on Bongo Media’s new offshoot, Noosa Media. Says Jason: “Noosa Media is about looking after clients where we live. Our primary goal is to grow that side of the business. It’s a competitive market here with a lot of good companies operating in the space, but I think we have plenty to offer, including our depth of experience. “Noosa Media’s focus is not just building new websites but ranking sites on Google and fixing the tricky things on websites that just don’t seem to work sometimes. Everything from e-commerce, simple designs or complex heavy coding. Photography is also a focus with all images by Fenna, a well-known and muchpublished Noosa photographer. “With the right approach, great photos and quality content, Noosa Media can get you the look your business should have and the ranks on Google you need.” I’m thrilled at the reaction my site has been getting, and it’s already showing commercial returns.

Gong for helping others

Elise Jione was able to shape my career path towards something that was really meaningful, which not everyone gets to do.” Ms Jione said the key to providing better mental health outcomes for the region lay in being connected and responsive to the community. “It’s all about taking that step back and seeing your business and organisation from a bird’s eye view so you have that strategic view of where it is heading.” Elise is also a Certified Practicing Accountant and holds a Master of Business Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Health Sector Leadership from USC. “My MBA really helped me take my knowledge to the next level and apply it in a practical manner,” she said. Ms Jione will also help establish Australia’s first integrated centre for traumatic stress disorders in 2022, as well as implementing a range of strategic initiatives to continue the Thompson Institute’s growth and expansion.

Having dedicated her career to helping others, including addressing high suicide rates on the Sunshine Coast, Elise Jione of USC’s Thompson Institute has won a top award for her work. Ms Jione, 32, general manager of the Institute, has been named Young Business Woman of the Year at the 2021 Sunshine Coast Women’s Business Network Awards. Institute Director Professor Jim Lagopoulos said the award was testament to a focused and ambitious leader who not only had great ideas but could also drive powerful change in a quiet and strategic way. “Since the Institute opened in 2017 as a world-class facility for mental health and neurological research, Elise has led us through continual growth across our research, clinical services, education and advocacy,” Professor Lagopoulos said. “The key to her success in managing a community organisation is that people are at the heart of everything she does.” Three years ago, Ms Jione launched the Alliance for Suicide Prevention - Sunshine Coast, which now has 125 member organisations and over 2000 people trained in suicide prevention. Ms Jione said she made an early career decision after volunteering at the Fiji Red Cross Society to dedicate her skills to helping others. Her business background, which includes extensive expertise in finance and research management as well as strategic and operational leadership, has played an important role in this. “Because I’m born and bred on the Sunshine Coast, I feel strongly about being able to give back to the community and applying my professional skills for a purpose,” she said. “This focus wasn’t front of mind when I pursued business management studies out of school but, through my life experience, I

AUSTRALIA UNCOVERED: THE TRUTH ABOUT ANXIETY WITH CELIA PACQUOLA SBS, 8.30pm

CELEBRITY LETTERS AND NUMBERS

Beloved ABC comedy Rosehaven finished for good after five seasons last month, but its star and co-creator, Celia Pacquola (pictured above), isn’t done sharing stories. In a break from her stand-up persona, the Have You Been Paying Attention? regular reveals a different side of herself in this endearing one-off documentary. Equal parts heartwarming and intimate, it’s a deep dive into the mental health condition more than three million Aussies deal with: anxiety. Celia shares her personal experience with the condition, tries out different methods and solutions, and meets others who are grappling with anxiety’s clutches.

SBS, 7.35pm

Nine years after Letters and Numbers last graced our screens with new episodes, the format is back with a comedic twist. Its loyal audience, who demanded the show’s return, can let out the victory squeal: the new and improved edition has arrived. Wordsmith David Astle is back on board, as is maths marvel Lily Serna, with Michael Hing (pictured, The Other Guy) the new host. Well-known comedians, including Hamish Blake, Matt Okine, Jennifer Wong, Aaron Chen and Susie Youssef, are upcoming copmpetitors. Tonight, Suren Jayemanne, Jennifer Wong and Merrick Watts are joined by Bridie Connell to put their word and numerical abilities to the test.

Host Sophie Monk returns with her dry wit, megawatt smile and bombshell wardrobe for the third season of this reality dating bonanza, but the same can’t be said for the exotic island location promised in the show’s title – previous seasons have taken place in Mallorca and Fiji. Nevertheless, we’ve all become adept at compromise and adapting during the pandemic, which has closed the door on international travel. In tonight’s return, the gaggle of singles heads to a villa in northern NSW where they hope to ﬁnd a match and resist the temptation of new potential partners to win the public’s aﬀection, and the $50,000 prize. It’s no small feat.

Sophie Monk hosts season three of Love Island.

In the poo This is a toilet/total waste of our taxpayers dollars. How are the QPWS rangers going to force campers to drive kilmetres up and down Teewah Beach every day to empty their porta potties? The rangers will end up being referred to as loo inspectors and not the gatekeepers of a beaut place. And does the state government expect people to queue up at a waste disposal for God knows how long during the Christmas and Easter holidays...day after day? And let’s throw in the bowl the on-going problem of hoons that totally disrespect the road rules and people who are genuinely there to enjoy the environment. Do the authorities honestly believe these cretins give a crap about adhering to another rule that infringes on their personal rights to do what they want? This problem is, however, easily solved. No camping at all on the North Shore beaches except for the Freshwater Campground. Yes, the camping areas 1-7 are in the Gympie Shire and their local member needs to get on board and think about saving this unique part of the world as much as most of us down here in NSC do... But those of us that live and operate in Noosa Shire, including our own State Member and the QPWS, also have an obligation to stop the environmental damage we’re causing to the North Shore by cancelling camping permits from this end for the foreseeable future. Until our community can find a way to get it into the thick skulls of some people who want to treat Teewah to D.I.P. and Rainbow Beach as their own personal playground, this stretch of coastline needs to be closed to all except respectful day trippers. To the Queensland Government...stop wasting our hard-earned tax dollars on bandaid solutions you know will never work. M Griffin, Tewantin

Party politics I read with contempt and amusement the constant cryptic political drivel from Margaret Wilkie, with no mention of idiotic ALP failings. If blue democracy is so bad, there is the option of migrating to China or North Korea where red is the only colour. Allan Humphries, Noosaville

Ode to our brave Prime Minister I woke up this morning to the news that SCOMO will be a NO SHOW at the GLASGO climate summit. I thought we were winning the climate change race in a CANTER, or was that just BANTER? Apparently he has competing interests here in Australia, I assume he means the Pandemic RACE he told us we are not in? Or is it just an about FACE to save FACE? Maybe he wishes he was not invited like BORIS did to him last time? OR maybe he’s not going to Glasgow to be ready to the jump on fire trucks here on the Sunshine Coast when the fire season hits again? But wait, he told us he doesn’t hold the HOSE? So nobody really KNOWS, I SUPPOSE! Ralph Hahn, Noosa Heads

Mayor responds to Shave move I read with disappointment an article in Noosa Today, with the headline ‘Sacking Turmoil’, relating to the departure of a senior executive from Noosa Shire Council. It was notable that no comment was sought from me or any other named person. Quoting unnamed ‘exclusive sources’ leaves impressions that can only be seen as demeaning the performance of our Council team and the competency of those who govern the Council. I want to make it abundantly clear that our Council staff are affirmed in their effortssomething I have repeatedly stated over my time as Mayor. Our staff do a terrific job. Secondly, I can state unequivocally that our Council team demonstrate continuously a commitment to our community beyond the norm. At the same time every organisation is expected to improve and this will be a priority going forward. In regard to the recent departure of Michael Shave, Noosa Council’s former Director of Corporate Services, I want to re-affirm that the former director’s contribution to the organisation and the shire was significant. Much of the reason we are in such a good position financially is due to Michael’s outstanding ability and his fiscal responsibility. I feel a deep sense of regret about his departure. At the same time, I would register that decisions of this nature demand our respect and confidentiality.

Under Queensland law, the Mayor has no responsibility for appointing or terminating Council staff, including senior staff. This is the sole responsibility of the chief executive officer. You may know that some months ago the chief executive officer, Brett de Chastel, announced his retirement, which will take place on 2 November 2021. A selection panel, comprising me as Mayor, the Deputy Mayor and two independent external members, is currently identifying a replacement for Brett so we can make a recommendation to the full Council. Given the circumstances the Council faces in losing two critical executives in such a short time, this is a crucial appointment. The last 18 months since the 2020 election has been challenging for the Council which, over that period, has seen a new Mayor and three new Councillors, a global pandemic forcing the first deficit budget in 20 years, unusual working arrangements for staff, and the departure of two other directors, one of whom has been very ill. The departures of Michael and Brett add new urgency to the transformation that Noosa Council must continue to be a dynamic, focused and stable organisation that every resident in our Shire will recognise as putting the community first. I want to lead a Council that is positive, has a can do attitude and achieves an interconnected and progressive community.

In our search for a new CEO we are seeking a leader who will inspire and bring to our shire great experience, proven capability and wisdom. We want this person to work with Councillors, me and the staff to energise the Council and establish it firmly as a body that is inclusive and ethical, that places residents first and which is capable and committed to provide the services the community expects. I believe the new CEO will enter an organisation in which there is much great work being done. I am so proud of our staff in this regard. I look forward to the appointment of a new CEO and a new Director of Corporate Services. I am hopeful that, with the support of Councillors, we will also initiate a ‘health check’ of the Council, an idea I flagged some months ago to Councillors and the senior executive team. My intention is that the review, to be undertaken by an independent third party, will assist us to highlight areas of our performance where there are gaps and that it will recommend initiatives we can take to improve what we do. It is a fundamental requirement of any organisation that, from time to time, it critically reviews and resets its outlook and operations. The community and our staff deserve and need this to be done. I will keep you informed of progress as this undertaking moves forward. - Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

On The Soapbox Rod Ritchie, Cara President

Planning for Covid future The common consensus is that Covid will be around for years to come, so let’s all take a reality check. Vinay Prasad, MD, associate professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco, says avoiding Covid for decades is impossible, and adaption to the virus is the next phase of the pandemic. Our personal lives are going to be greatly changed, our workplace culture altered, and our businesses need to plan for the future right now. Dr Prasad makes three salient points: Over the next decade, give or take a few years, every single person on earth has a date with this virus. A few of us might get very sick, while many of us may only get mild illness or not get sick at all from our encounter. Each of us has to decide how much life we are willing to trade to delay our time to meet the virus. Change for residents Since the virus will be a part of our lives for many years, Noosa residents will need to keep their vaccinations up to date, follow Covid safety protocols, and be careful visiting people, events and businesses with a casual attitude towards the virus. Prasad suggests personal responsibility also means keeping yourself informed about the virus from multiple sources rather than just accepting information unquestionably. We need to plan our personal and work life, and that of our loved ones, to suit the new circumstances and the way we might be happy living. Obviously, for travel purposes, get yourself a vaccine passport as soon as they become available. Primarily, though, take Covid precautions seriously, even if those around you are not, and build personal resilience. Change for businesses Noosa Retailers Suffer in Hastings Street was the headline in a recent Courier Mail article. Laura Richardson, the manager of the souvenir shop, I Love Noosa, noted a dramatic drop in customers and sales since lockdown lifted. Obviously, locals and visitors from within the state are not enough to sustain them: “It’s Victoria and New South Wales where we find most of the income ... it really is them that bring the money into the street.”, she added. If a souvenir shop is struggling, it’s fair to assume that the upper-end shops are in dire straits. In the same report, Noosa Chamber of Commerce president Ralph Rogers called on the state government to deliver “immediate and direct” financial compensation for Noosa businesses affected by Covid restrictions. Unfortunately, unlimited government assistance is not coming anytime soon, so Noosa retailers need to adapt their product range to cater for a different retail demographic. Now predominantly a drive destination, with interstate and international big-spenders not arriving in anywhere near the numbers they were in the past, retailers will obviously pivot. Streets renowned for expensive merchandise may have to reinvent themselves. The health sector, services, construction and education have been little affected, and will be less volatile sectors in the new era. The tech sector will boom, not just with visible establishments like the Peregian Hub, but also the huge expansion from home-based businesses, already popular here following the NBN roll out. As more people chose to move here, or even prematurely retire here, the importance of recognising this workforce’s contribution to the economy will need to be properly calculated and reflected in business statistics. Changes in the tourism industry In May 2020 I wrote to our local and state government representatives and the new Tourism Noosa chief executive officer. With the Sails cluster fresh in the news and Covid-19 on the ascent, I suggested a new approach to bringing visitors back to Noosa Shire following lockdown. I wrote, “Rebuilding the industry involves competing for the domestic travel market against many other popular destina-

· · ·

Cooroy Area Residents Association (CARA) president Rod Ritchie tions. Noosa will need to be branded as more than the relaxation capital of Australia, rather it will need to promote its authentic eco credentials, as it always has, but there must be a marketing emphasis on a standard of health safety based on best-practice Covid precautions in every part of the Shire. We need a Noosa Safe brand that works for both and visitors and residents.” Now might be the time for Tourism Noosa to encourage its members to adopt such an ethos, train for the new health emphasis, and produce marketing collateral which will support the push for a health-safe, eco-friendly Noosa. High-volume accommodation providers will likely find demand for their product decreases as short-term-accommodation operators like airbnb further disrupt their business-

es. Their customers, more savvy nowadays, are booking closer to the travel date and looking for refunds if there are further border closures and local lockdowns. Previously, where they may have relied on travel insurance to cover dramas, policy exclusions mean they will be on their own for travel calamities. And unreliable flight schedules will mean planning far ahead is impossible. With the introduction of vaccine passports, all businesses will need to make sure their establishments have vaccinated staff. Changes in the events policy Council eased restrictions to event crowd numbers earlier in the year. Now they should take a precautionary approach with any new guidelines. The push by industry groups for

a return to normal represents an existential threat to shire residents. Noosa’s tourism industry is also vulnerable to long-term reputational risk if an outbreak is spread here via visitors slipping through the travel barriers placed on infectious states. Further lockdowns in Queensland would be disastrous for many businesses in Noosa. And, since most Noosa’s events rely heavily on volunteers from the community for a multitude of tasks, both on and off the event site, these people must be given proper protection. The cliche, we’re all in this together, may not hold. More and more it will be up to individuals to plot their own future. But, if enough people understand the likely scenario of life in the next decade, the common good may still be well served. Friday, 1 October, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 29

2021 Master Builders Sunshine Coast Excellence in Sustainable Living award winner – Overland Design & Construct for the Kin Kin Hempcrete House.

250980

Finding the right balance in life has been essential for Kin Kin couple Ken and Barbara Geitz, as ERLE LEVEY discovers.

A natural aspect This has been a lifetime in the making. After travelling down many interesting roads in life Ken and Barbara Geitz are enjoying the fruits of their labour at a 40-acre Kin Kin property. It’s a picture of serenity, set on the ridge line with beautiful northerly views. Drawing upon their experiences and vision, they are turning the former dairy farm into an oasis of sustainability. Permaculture methods are being used in the vegetable gardens while landcare practices involving eucalyptus and rainforest plantations are rejuvenating the hillsides. At the heart of the property is a highly liveable home constructed with compressed hemp. By using natural and non-toxic materials, ideal orientation, passive ventilation, carefully designed sunshading, and carefully considered specification, the house is an outstanding example of energy-efficiency and sustainability. Little wonder it was recently announced 2021 Master Builders Sunshine Coast award winner for excellence in sustainable living. Over home-made date and ginger cake with a morning cup of tea around the kitchen bench, Ken and Barb tell me about their life journey together. It started when they met at Proserpine in the Whitsundays. Ken was born in Toowoomba, one of six children, and started life as a fitter and turner with Main Roads. Later, while working in Weipa, he would holiday with a mate who lived in Proserpine. Barb was born in Mackay but grew up in the Whitsundays. “It was an idyllic childhood,’’ she said, “but we didn’t realise it at the time. “Dad had a boat, and we would go out every year and camp on the islands. 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 1 October, 2021

Another view of the 2021 Master Builders Sunshine Cost Excellence in Sustainable Living award winner.

We had never been underground before... but 12 bodies were brought out over time.’’ “We’ve had an interesting life … it’s been varied.’’ Little did they know then that in time there would be bike rides from Turkey to Slovenia, then 4000km around France. That they would ride from Vienna in Austria to Budapest in Hungary by following the Danube River. That they would buy a 14m barge for cruising through France. It was all part of the steps that eventually led them to Kin Kin in the picturesque Noosa hinterland. Their adventures started when Ken got a job as a diesel fitter in Sulawesi, an Indonesian

island east of Borneo. He flew to Melbourne then to Bali before catching a seaplane and landing on a lake surrounded by hills. They were mining nickel but eventually Ken cashed his return air fare in and went overland to India. From there, he flew to Baghdad and on to London with Iraqi Airways. Arriving in the UK capital he had lost all his luggage, and just had a cheesecloth top, jeans and thongs to wear. It was a quick learning curve for a young man from tropical Queensland.

Meanwhile Barb had sailed from Perth to Singapore on a Russian ship, then caught an Aeroflot plane from Bangkok to Moscow. It was a different time, and travel behind the Iron Curtain was difficult. Barb had been split up from her travelling companions by authorities - even in the hotel in Moscow they were not allowed to see each other. They were not allowed on the same floor. It was scary stuff for young girls of about 1819 years old. Yet Barb ended up in London, then the US and Canada where she earned enough money to travel to Mexico and Guatemala. Ken said he was coming over to London so she headed back to the UK. There were no mobile phones, no texting of messages. Instead, you could pick up mail from home or leave a message at Australia House.

They both worked in London and continued to travel to exotic destinations such as Morocco until Ken ran out of money. So they flew home and got married at Innisfail. Barb’s parents had moved there and she was nursing, and Ken was working in construction at Mourilyan Harbour. “He had been wanting to get into the mines to earn money, and buy some land,’’ Barb said. “We had always wanted to live in the Sunshine Coast area … be a bit alternate. “We had been to Cooktown in an old Kombi and attended a permaculture weekend.’’ Guest speakers at the festival included Bill Mollison, one of the founders of the permaculture design system. Not long after, Ken got a job as a fitter on draglines in the coal mines at Moura in Central Queensland. That’s where the Kombi stopped, which Barb considered a sign. They ended up staying seven years and raising two children. In 1986 there was an underground explosion in the mine and even though Ken was in the open-cut rescue team they were going to send them in to help. “We had never been underground before,’’ he said, “but 12 bodies were brought out over time.’’ Ken and Barb had already bought a 16-acre property at Kin Kin, at the foot of the range where their present home is situated. “We bought this place in 1981,’’ Ken said. “We used to come down and the plan was to pay it off, try our luck at moving. “It was a five-year plan that went to seven years. “After the mine explosion, we realised it was time to turn our attention to here.’’ Moura had never felt like home, Barb said, so they started doing the Kin Kin house up bit by bit. “It was a typical 1930s house needing restumping. “In the early 1990s we bought 40 acres next door when it came on the market. “It has a nice flat area on top, sloping to the north.’’ In 2017 they had just come back from travelling in France so it seemed an appropriate time to build a small house. “We wanted to downsize,’’ Ken said, “and it lined up with our philosophies developed throughout life and our travels. “We were going to build a straw house but it

was during drought and there was none available.’’ Architect Andrew Webb asked if they would consider hemp as a building material. They did find some straw but it was in Victoria so that was against their idea of sustainability. “Barb had done a rough plan of what we thought was a good design and we developed it from there,’’ Ken said. “We needed two bedroom areas, living in the middle, and for it to encompass the outdoors as well. “We wanted an enviro-friendly house that took advantage of the sun. “Coming from a Queenslander that always needed work, we wanted easy maintenance. No stairs.’’ They contracted Andrew from WD Architects and had a look at a house on Black Mountain. “We talked to the builder and owner. We wanted a smaller place, and it went from there. There is a northerly aspect, so the sun comes in during winter and in summer it is overhead, meaning it is not hot. The external walls are a mix of compressed hemp and Weathertex. The hempcrete works well as an insulator and is not a heat sink. “We were keen on rammed earth,’’ Ken said, “but it’s a heat bank for the interior to radiate heat of an evening. “Otherwise you can use big verandahs maybe on the southern side. “We didn’t want air-conditioning, but have fans and great design. “The louvre windows work well - a breeze always comes through. “It’s a very comfortable temperature to live in.’’ Overland Design & Construct built the house. Hempcrete is a low-energy building technique which uses hemp fibre mixed with a lime binder to create walls that are a good balance of insulation and thermal mass. This helps create a highly energy-efficient building. The walls are lime rendered which promotes excellent air quality because it is a natural moldicide. Lime is considered a carbon-neutral product because over time it reabsorbs the carbon dioxide that was released during the manufacturing process, and it eventually turns back into limestone.

Hemp is a highly sustainable product as it is quick-growing and completely compostable. It is extremely strong and an excellent fibre for reinforcing the walls. Weathertex is a reconstituted timber product made of 97 per cent hardwood from waste sources and three per cent paraffin wax. It contains no artificial glues or binders. “That took us on the journey,’’ Ken said. “We were happy. “Why agonise? We’re not experts in the field. The home is sited to take advantage of panoramic views, is low to the ground to promote strong indoor-outdoor connections for daily living, and is bushfire-rated which allows much of the natural bush setting to be retained. Timber floors and features enhance the natural setting and create a warm, welcoming, and comfortable aesthetic. A 6.5kw solar system was installed which provides all the energy they need. All roof water is collected from the house and shed into three large tanks. Effluent is treated on site and used for vegetation. Yet the house has been only part of the story. The property was an old dairy farm and over the years Ken and Barb have got rid of weeds and planted trees in conjunction with Landcare Noosa. “Basically, we planted out the whole property,’’ Ken said. “The way we see it, we were surrounded by land and with all these trees we can do as much or little with it as we like. “These lovely trees are around us and all we need do is maintain our house block, which is really what we wanted. “Our daughter has dogs which come to visit - they sleep on the verandah - and we share the eggs from her chooks but they are not our responsibility. “We wanted a lifestyle we can enjoy.’’ They started planting the trees in the late 1980s and kept doing more. There are eucalypts and rainforest trees on the south-west slope to act as a wind-break but also prevent erosion. Eucalypts are on the high side where it is dry - Gympie messmate, spotted gums. The rainforest and cabinet timbers are mainly down the bottom of the slope, a mixed variety including Queensland maple, red cedar, kaurie pine, bunya pine, yellow wood. Some trees needed to be taken out to build the house.

“Others have not grown as well as we thought but that may have something to do with the seedlings and where they came from,’’ Ken said. “It has been a learning curve for Landcare as well, as it was early days for them. “They have been a wonderful source of inspiration and help.’’ The trees are a resource but also a habitat for wildlife. A form of putting something back onto the land. “Birds are our friends,’’ Ken said. “The black cockatoos going over, the pardalotes have moved in. “There can be flocks of 50-60 black cockatoos in the branches and sometimes we are eyeballing them. “It’s lovely watching them.’’ Barb is planting native shrubs as well as flowers near the house to bring the bees and the birds. She likes to look out the kitchen window to see them - and keep watch on her raised vegetable gardens. There is plenty of lavender - a tribute to their travels in France but also for the way it attracts bees. As a low-maintenance innovation, Barb has created worm farms in the centre of her gardens where she puts the kitchen scraps. The Master Builders award is recognition of the vision they had and the commitment to stick with it. “It has been a culmination of our lifestyle choices,’’ Barb said. “Ken had an engineering business in Gympie and it was a hard slog for a while, working in the business and establishing the property. “Now it’s time to smell the roses.’’ One of the most critical lessons learned in the build has been aspect. “Getting it right is very important,’’ Ken said. “Pay attention to wind flow, that makes the house so comfortable every day.’’ Making the wrong decisions can cost, Barb reminded. “We had made mistakes on the other house. “It’s a matter of getting someone who knows their game, knows what matters and trusting them. “We love our little house. “This really has been a lifetime in the making. “Lessons learned over time have led us to here.’’ Friday, 1 October, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 31

Eduardo cooks with love Eduardo’s by the River on Gympie Terrace at Noosaville opened in early November 2020. The restaurant’s namesake and head chef is Eduardo Richetta - a Brazilian chef from Rio De Janeiro. Starting his career at Chale II and Bistro MAC nestled inside Brazil’s famous Museum of Contemporary Arts, Eduardo moved to Australia in 2008 where he worked for nearly a decade in Sydney. With Argentinian, Brazilian, and Italian heritage, the chef says food has always played a leading role in his life, centred around love of family. “I learnt to make empanadas from my Argentinian grandmother at a young age and grew up in a household where everyone enjoyed cooking and sharing meals with our large, extended families,” Eduardo said. “I always knew that I would build a career in food, and now after nearly 20 years working in restaurants here and overseas, I am so proud to be able to bring the experiences and flavours of my life to the wonderful people who choose to eat and drink with us.” The menu at Eduardo’s by the River is a combination of flavours from Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Italy and Australia and combines traditional family recipes with a fresh, modern take. Carefully designed to be simple, tasty and flexible, the menu offers tapas share plates, mains, beautiful fresh salads, gourmet burgers and desserts all served with Eduardo’s specially created house-made sauces. “The restaurant has been designed aesthetically to match our food - relaxed, family-friendly and welcoming. We have provided a fresh new space to eat and drink. A place where you can bring the kids for lunch, catch up with friends for a cocktail,

Explore Noosa’s creative culture along five distinct drive trails taking in Noosa’s gorgeous beach and hinterland villages from 1 to 10 October. Noosa Open Studios president Anthony Wynne-Hoelscher said the art trail enabled artists to make studio sales without having to pay commission. “It is really quite substantial, when you think that a region such as Noosa and the hinterland, which is not the biggest population in the country, has more than 100 artists who are able to open their studios to all art lovers for 10 days. It’s pretty extraordinary,” he said. “It says a lot about the nature of this place as a magnet for people who are in the arts. Not only visual arts, but also you look at all the other arts that are really nurtured in our region such as music, playwrights, filmmakers.” Anthony said it was an interesting period planning the event for the second year in a row during the Covid pandemic. “Last year we were worried and postponed the event from August to October, because we were concerned the lockdowns would still be in full swing,” he said. It ended up being one of the only events held in Noosa for the entire year. “We couldn’t pull any visitors from New South Wales or Victoria because of the national lockdowns, so we had to rely on Queenslanders to attend the studios,” Anthony said. “In spite of that, we had record sales. “Low and behold, this year seems to be exactly the same. So we’re feeling pretty confi-

dent since we had such a successful outcome last year.” Anthony said cultural tourism had a much bigger yield than surf and sand tourism. “Our relationship with Tourism Noosa is very much founded in the knowledge that art and cultural tourists tend to spend more time in the region and tend to spend more money while they’re here,” he said. “Even if you’re not necessarily someone who loves art, it’s a really wonderful day out. You get to drive around the region and see things you would not normally see. The studios are spread far and wide. “We want the mid-week to be as dynamic as the weekend. On Monday we have the Noosa trail, Tuesday is the beaches trail, Wednesday is the Tinbeerwah to Eumundi trail and Thursday is the Cooroy to Cooroibah trail.” Learn more about the creative process, take home your favourite pieces and be inspired by Noosa’s talented local artists. Also during Noosa Open Studios are a range of interactive art workshops held by some of the region’s talented local artists, from mixed media and abstract works to landscape painting and pop art, watercolours, pastel techniques and raku pottery firing through to brush making and lantern crafting. Bookings are required and individual workshop costs apply. Be sure to book in early as spaces will fill fast. There are also a range of stunning partner galleries to visit too, including the flagship Noosa Regional Gallery, beside the Noosa River, and hinterland highlights including Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre and Pomona Railway Station Gallery.

Historic classic cars rev up for charity By Jim Fagan World acclaimed makes of classic cars going back 100 years will be on display at Chaplin Park, Noosaville, this Sunday. Noosa’s Roadrunner Car Club, whose members come from Brisbane to Gympie and Hervey Bay, is staging its annual charity car show - an extravaganza of cars ranging from a $1.6 million 1922 Bugatti Type 13, a 1934 Jaguar SS1 and a 1936 Oldsmobile Sloper to this year’s current model GT Mustang. And, just as it did at its last car show, proceeds will be donated to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice at Doonan. Club president Graeme Block anticipates a relaxed, happy event. He told Noosa Today. “We want to create a picnic atmosphere around the cars where peo-

ple can sit and talk to the owners. “The Noosa Lions Club is providing breakfast and then a sausage lunch. There will be ice creams for the kids and there is a very special raffle with race car driver Gerry Murphy selling tickets to win hot laps at Queensland Raceway with one of his racing cars that will be on display. “People will be able to have their photo taken in the race car for a gold coin donation.” “We enjoy our cars and we are inviting people to share our enthusiasm.” Noosa Charity Car Show 8am-1pm, Sunday October 3,.Chaplin Park, Mill St, Noosaville. Entry $5 adults, children U14 free when accompanied by an adult. All proceeds to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice. More information roadrunnercarclub.com.au or 0407 009 464.

The glossy black-cockatoo Calyptorhynchus lathami is an iconic but threatened bird species, admired by many for their beauty and unique behaviour. Climate change and inappropriate fire regimes are major drivers of decline in threatened species, and the glossy black-cockatoo, being a habitat specialist, is likely to be vulnerable to such changes. Alex Western, an ecologist/geologist, grew up with the glossies on Kangaroo Island and saw the destruction of their habitat in the fires of 2019/20. Since moving to Queensland, he has been involved in research and the modelling of glossy black-cockatoo feeding habitat suitability across South East Queensland. At Friday Forum, he will explain how environmental variables, such as fire, geology and climate, influence the feeding habitat of the glossy blackcockatoo, as well as describe the mapping of suitable current habitat locations across the landscape. Alex will describe how future habitat suitability can also be predicted, under different climate change scenarios, providing a tool to effectively manage habitat to ensure the long-term persistence of this unique species. Come along to learn about the effects of environmental variables on the glossy black-cockatoo food habitat and the future of the species, on Friday 8 October at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville, where the forum starts at 10:30am and coffee is available at 10 am. Entry is $5 by ‘tap & go’ at the door. Registration is essential and the link is found on the NPA website at noosaparks. org.au/friday-environment-forum/ Bird observers meet at the carpark of the NPA Environment Centre at 8:30 am.

Award-winning Australian architect Gabriel Poole was known for his innovative, lightweight designs that profoundly influenced the direction of architecture in Queensland. Site and climate responsive, the internationally-renowned architect’s commitment to working with the realities of location, materials and budget epitomised the ways in which an architectural response can strengthen the character and identity of a region. Space In Which The Soul Can Play is a new exhibition surveying Poole’s practice across some five decades. Charting the development of his creative practice that is today synonymous with the best architecture across the Sunshine Coast region, the exhibition provides a rare opportunity to experience a host of spaces not often available to us to explore at our leisure. Says co-curator and Noosa Regional Gallery Director Michael Brennan, “the chance to cast an eye across half a century of practice by a celebrated architect - to see at scale in one public space juxtapositions of iconic buildings that speak of, as well as help define, a particular time and place, is wonderfully rare. “Poole’s buildings possess an honesty, connectedness and functional elegance which encourage an awareness of both the surrounding environment and the individual’s place within it,” continues Brennan. “There is perhaps a heightened sense of living in the moment which comes with such an experience, and that in itself has the power to pull the world into perspective.” Guided intimately by the eye of visual artist and Gabriel’s life partner Elizabeth Poole, and multi award-winning architect Tim Bennetton, Space In Which The Soul Can Play gives us pause to reflect on a life significantly defined by the pursuit of an authentic, mind-

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Upstairs outside for tapas Trevor Pepys reviews Hop and Vine, Hastings Street This was weird from the start, and it only got weirder. A dear friend from the Gold Coast was in town, burdened with baby, young mums and drunken sailors. Having dispatched the latter from Mooloolaba, she suggested a late lunch/ early dinner at Hop and Vine on Hastings Street. Working around baby’s feed times, we met there at the ungodly hour of 5.15pm. To be honest, Trev had not darkened this door since it led to Montezuma’s Mex, which is a few years back, but our mate – let’s call her Di – had, a few nights earlier, popped in with the sailors for a bottle of rum and some Asian tapas and pronounced it good-oh. Trev also didn’t realise it was the brainchild of Flux owner Malcolm Butcher who has developed a sizeable fan club for his Gympie Terrace bolthole for lovers of craft beers and tasty snacks and expanded the idea into Hastings Street a couple of years ago. Not sure about the English pubby name, but at least he didn’t call it Reflux. At 5.15 on a midweek afternoon, the joint wasn’t exactly jumping. In fact it was empty, but so, apparently was the pantry, because as we perused the extensive and somewhat lipsmacking tapas menu, we were informed that just about everything we wanted was off. There appeared to have been an overnight global shortage of bao buns, possibly something to do with Covid, or worsening relations with China. “How can you have run out of everything when we’re the first dinner customers?” Trev politely enquired. Polite shrug. A few flat tyres and harrumphs later, Trev had decided that strong drink was need to get over this. Fortunately a bottle of the Lane Block 2 Pinot Gris ($60) from the Adelaide Hills was available and chilled and good to go, and a splendid drop it was too. I know, I know. At this point Trev is meant to weigh in with his usual complaint about no house wine cheap option, but this is a nowin. If he complains, the restaurateurs or their sommeliers whine (no pun intended) about the tiny mark-ups they put on a decent drop to keep them affordable – presumably because they buy wholesale instead of at Dan Murphy! If he doesn’t complain, the readers accuse him of forgetting the common man and pandering to the rich wankers instead. So let’s move on. We were a mad mix of vegans, veggos and dedicated carnivores, and given that there was very little of what we wanted left, we just ordered the bloody lot. And sometimes such silliness can pay dividends. Trev kicked off with a Chicken Larb San Choy Bau ($7) and it was so good he promply ordered another. The vegetarian spring rolls

Tapas in the trees. with sweet chilli sauce ($10 for two) were also excellent. Pho soup dumplings ($18 for four) consisted of steamed aromatic pho beef, ginger and shallots, with hoisin and sriracha gel (whatever that is). It didn’t matter. It could have been hair gel and it wouldn’t have gotten in the way of this taste sensation. We shared the vegetarian fried rice ($17) and bowls of craft fries with herb salt and spicy mayo ($10). The fried rice was perfectly acceptable if uninspired, but the chips were about as good as chips can be, crunchy fried on the outside, succulent and flavoursome inside. The only real disappointment was the Okonomiyaki ($16), a Japanese savory pancake with vegetables and tofu, topped with Japanese mayo, okonomiyaki sauce and dried bonito flakes. Sounds great, tasted bland. The verdict: Look, obviously something had gone very wrong for choices to be so limited. The staff should have been briefed to explain what had happened to punters. What we had was, by and large, great. What we couldn’t have may have been even better. There’s only one way to find out. Trev will return.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Plan your fishing trip That’s the end of another week and one step closer to summer. For many anglers now has been a great time to go away especially over the school holidays. Fraser Island, Baffle Creek, 1770 and of course the dams have all been popular, making now a great time to get away or plan a trip. Offshore is still very much on the snapper with the inshore reefs from Noosa to Coolum producing decent table-sized fish with the occasional standout 70cm-plus model. For bait anglers, the humble pilchard on ganged hooks has been working well. Although not really needed for snapper, the ganged hooks give you protection from sharp teeth. Mackerel are still about, as are tuna and, although in smaller numbers, they still come through in schools, making now a great time to have a heavy weight slug on a stand alone rod a great idea. Often found in deeper water, a heavy slug can be quickly dropped down and through the school. With a super fast retrieve, this will often result in an instant hookup, so use of quality leaders like FC Rock and even a small length of Mason single strand wire is a must. Cobia have also been on the prowl and are in good numbers along with smaller jewfish around the metre mark. Both of these fish will respond well to live baits as well as jigs and soft plastics. The new range of power bait plastics and the old faithful nemesis always get the job done. Pair these up with 40lb leaders and 3/4oz 6/0 jig heads and you are in with a chance. Surf fishing has seen many new gutters formed over the last week. Early morning winds have given anglers offshore winds which allows for extra distance when casting. The water is super clear so drop lines down to as light as you can. Asari pearl blue mono is designed to blend in with the water and at 300 metres long you should land your catch easily. Bream, dart and whiting prevail in the smaller close gutters. Around the mouth of the river you will soon start to see flathead showing up. Baits of whole whitebait, pilchard and squid work very well for bigger fish. Once you have fished the river mouth you can work your way upriver to the Dog Beach and the Sandbags. These areas provide some of the best structure in Noosa, so it is well worth fishing here. You will start to see mangrove jacks come out to play and these fish are super tough. Ask us for the best jack setup as once you catch one, you’ll be hooked! They are called red dogs for a reason! Trevally are a great catch and with plenty of GT to 50cm in the river, standard estuary gear in the 3-5kg range will provide you with lots of fun. The new range of Shimano Raiders has landed and has something for everyone. Away from the river the freshwaters have been fishing well with some very fat bass taken from the edges. Both dams are dropping and

Sharlisse caught this 65cm flathead in the lower estuary while on a Noosa River Fishing Safari. Borumba is below 80 per cent for the first time in a long time so caution is strongly advised once beyond the ski zone. Stealth and patience is still the name of the game but the edges will be holding a lot of heat in the weed so small frogs like the ChaseBaits Bobbin Frog is a must try especially if we see any rain. The weedy points especially the big one in the main area would do well with a weedless rigged Keitech 2 inch easy shiner and the trees will fish well if you throw smaller jerkbaits like the new Rapala Ripstop in the suspending model. Don’t forget the Mary River from Gympie upriver is closed to all line fishing for the Mary River cod spawn.

Simon mixes his sports Simon Cotton, a promising young batsman, thought he’d played his last game of cricket when he completed university studies in Sydney more than 40 years ago and began a demanding career as a futures broker. It wasn’t until last year, when he and wife Karen had moved to Noosa, that recently retired Simon even gave playing the game a second thought. “We were having dinner with a friend and he mentioned that he was playing veterans cricket with a Sunshine Coast team,” Simon said. “He invited me to come along and give it a go.” During the first match that followed, the friend, Dennis Dunstan, injured a hip and hasn’t played since. But Simon, 62, has become a regular – playing for the Sunshine Coast in the second division of the Queensland Veterans cricket competition, in towns like Toowoomba, Maryborough and the Gold Coast. “It’s been great fun and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it,” he said. “It’s a great competition and I’ve made a whole new set of friends.” His first season has just finished with Simon’s team losing the grand final, the result decided on the very last ball. But he took some comfort in being named the player of the match. Through it all, Simon, a nine-handicapper, has continued to excel at his first sporting love – golf. A member of Noosa Springs masters team, Simon was the man responsible for winning this year’s pennant final – taking the seventh and deciding match on the third playoff hole. But he bristles at being declared the hero of the team’s victory. “It seemed that I was doing everything I could to lose,” he said. “I was one up with one hole to play when somebody told me that mine was the only match left to be decided, and if I held on we’d win the pennant. “That did it. I blocked my drive, duffed my second shot and lost the hole. “Then we went to sudden death,” he said. “Until then it was just me and my opponent pulling our own clubs. All of a sudden there were 100 spectators following us.” The first two holes were halved. Then on the third, a par three, Simon missed the green and pitched to five metres, while his opponent, Mt Coolum’s Barry Bowditch, safely made the green with his tee shot. “I sunk the putt and he three-putted,” said Simon. “He was devastated. He had me all day, and I finished up winning.” Simon and his family have a long connection with Noosa. His parents lived at Noosa and Simon regularly played at Noosa Springs while visiting from Sydney. “We’d always had an idea that we’d move here after work,” he said. “My wife and I love it here and we’re delighted we made the move,” he said. Cooroy’s Aussie team wins its own Ryder Cup The quality of play may not have been up to the standard of a Ryder Cup, but Cooroy Vets’ annual international contest last week generated just as much emotion and patriotic pride as the big event at Whistling Straits. Cooroy’s International All Stars took on two Australian teams – Aussie Attack and True Blue Aussies – on Wednesday for the title with a pewter mug at stake. The event was held in conjunction with a single stableford competition, with eligible players representing one of the three international teams. It came to the last putt of the final group to decide the outcome, with Kerry Davies tapping in for 44 points, giving the True Blue Aussies a one point victory. Final scores were True Blue Aussies (359), Aussie Attack (358) and International All Stars (346) It wasn’t nearly as tense in the Ryder Cup,

Improving ball contact TAKE THE TIP By Greg Lynch There is no doubt that golf is more enjoyable when you are making great contact with the golf ball. And it is no surprise that the best players in the world make great contact with the ball more regularly than us mere mortals. So how can we work on getting more consistent with our contact? One great drill to try the next time you are down at the practice range is the hit and stop drill. Grab your seven iron and hit some shots where you are swinging at full speed and then try to stop your follow through as soon as you can after impact. This should give you the feeling of great impact (not over accelerating the golf club), club face stability and the bigger muscles in your body working correctly. The next step is to take the feel from the drill into your normal swing and you should be on the road to making great contact with the golf ball more often. Good luck and great golfing. Greg Lynch, of Heiniger Golf, is Noosa Springs’ senior PGA teaching professional.

Simon Cotton mixes cricket with golf during a retirement he’s thoroughly enjoying. with the powerful American team handing out a 19-9 drubbing to the hapless Europeans. Kirk’s 63 shows she’s still got it Noosa’s Katherine Kirk faded in the final two rounds but showed she still has the ability to be competitive when she began the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship in the US with a blistering round of eight-under par 63 to share the first round lead. “I got off to a good start and this is the kind of golf course where you just have to keep the pedal down,” said Kirk, after matching her low round of the year. She had an ace in the second round of last week’s Cambia Portland Classic and tried to carry those good vibes into an event where she has such a strong history. “Lots of good stuff happened last week. I needed a little bit of a confidence boost,” said Kirk, 39, whose last LPGA Tour win came four years ago at the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic. “I felt like last week was a little bit of a turning point,” she said. “I love this golf course, so good memories and good vibes and it was just a matter of going out there and having some fun.” Kirk fell back into 42nd place after second and third rounds of 71 and 73, but is on target to finish within the LPGA Tour’s top 100 players and retain her playing privileges. Fellow Aussie Minjee Lee (67, 63, 68) was tied second in the event won by Japan’s Nasa Hataoka. Noosa Springs in the running for honours Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort has been named a finalist in the Golf Club of the Year category in this year’s Queensland Golf Industry Awards.

Top performances at state champs By Craig Jones Gymnast from Cooroy Gymnastics Club excelled at this week’s Queensland Junior State Championships on the Gold Coast. The event was held over four days at the Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre where gymnasts from all over Queensland competed for state titles. This year the club had 11 gymnasts qualify, some for the first time. The Queensland State Championships also includes the Regional Challenge where selected gymnasts qualify to represent their region which provided a great chance to represent the Sunshine Coast. Cooroy Gymnastics Club came away with three State Championship titles including the women’s level 4 all around trophy and 11 top three podium places in all. Cooroy also had four gymnasts representing the Sunshine Coast, Neve, Zayden, Khan and Dermott. The level 3 men’s team finished first while the level

Stadium smooths path with roller skating for the ages Health experts say the best exercise is whatever exercise you’ll actually do. For some people that’s taking their dog for a walk every day, for others it’s running a half marathon. But for a growing group of Noosa locals, it’s roller skating. They’re getting their endorphin hit and burning calories by roller skating at the Noosa Leisure Centre. Noosa hairdresser Tanya was looking for a way to stay fit and have fun when she decided to take up roller skating again, a hobby she’d enjoyed as a teenager. But kids, work and the general busy-ness of life meant she hadn’t skated in years. In 2015 she asked her family to buy her a pair of roller skates for Christmas. She found it was like riding a bike and in no time, she was skating around her neighborhood a couple of days a week. But she soon discovered skating on uneven pavements was risky, and even carparks that were empty on Sundays in her youth were no longer an option as they are full of cars seven days a week these days. After hitting a gum nut and injuring herself, she knew she needed to find a safer option. Enter Cathy and her team at the Noosa Leisure Centre which has an indoor stadium with huge, smooth, timber floors. Tanya and 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 1 October, 2021

Cathy put their heads together and started a fortnightly roller skating group where Noosa locals could skate in a safe, indoor space, have fun and get fit at the same time. “We found that roller skating was becoming really popular again and that the idea of skating inside where it’s warm in winter and cool in summer really appealed to people. We have men and women and a range of ages,” said Tanya. “I think the most senior skater was 84 years old which is amazing!” The group meets every second Sunday from 1-3pm and pays $12 each for two hours of skating. You can even hire roller skates if you don’t have your own pair. “People are surprised to learn what a great core and cardio workout it is,” said Cathy, Noosa Leisure Centre Coordinator. “They come to have fun but they find that it’s great for their overall fitness and mental health. With so many new residents to the Coast, it’s also a fun way to meet new people and make friends,” she said. Keen to try roller skating?

Cricket season explodes By Randall Woodley SEASON’S FIXTURES Cricket is alive and well on the Sunshine Coast with over 50 teams taking the field next Saturday 2 October on the first full day of fixture matches. The association draw will have seven senior grades playing on something like 25 cricket pitches up and down the district. As well, the junior cricket matches will begin on Saturday morning, 9 October. The Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club (TNT) will have four senior teams playing again this season in first, second, fourth and sixth grades. Last season, all four teams reached the finals but only Fifth Grade managed to bring home a trophy. The club is certainly planning to improve on these results by the end of this season. MATCHES LAST SATURDAY The Thunder First Graders made it six from six last Saturday with T20 wins over the Caboolture Snakes in the afternoon and Glasshouse Rangers under lights at Read Park to put them in top spot on the ladder. Caboolture have four of the top 10 batsmen in the comp and elected to bat first, so the home side needed to be on their game. They certainly did that with Tom Stewart and Scott Aufderheide getting TNT off to a great start having Caboolture 2-23 off the first four overs which became 4-28 off six with Jarrod Officer and Dom Taylor each picking up a wicket at the back of the powerplay. Caboolture could only manage 7 for 101 from their 20 overs with all of the Thunder bowlers contributing well. TNT started solidly with Chris Wright (29 off

Lewis Waugh picking the gaps against Caboolture.

Cricket is a team game. If you want fame for yourself, go and play an individual game like golf or tennis. But there is no better feeling than winning as part of a team.” -Guatam Gambhir, Indian Test cricketer 27) but losing three wickets in the first seven overs saw the boys having to consolidate and protect their wickets but at the same time keep scoring runs at five-plus an over. Lewis Waugh (27 from 36) and Andrew Kratzmann (19 off 27) put together a safe, well- constructed partnership that helped the team achieve the target with two overs to go for the loss of five wickets.

With the lights on, the night match against Glasshouse was very similar to the earlier game. This time Thunder batted first with Wright again getting the team off to a great start (29 off 27) before they found themselves in trouble at 3-36. From there it became a Waugh (65 off 56) and Kratzmann (43 off 37) master class in attacking batting. The innings

finished on 6 for 149 with many of the team’s players yet to have a bat after six matches. They will get their turn when the format changes to 50 overs a side next Saturday. The highlights of the day were Wrighty’s aggressive opening batting and veteran Kratzmann (43 and 19) and Lewis Waugh’s (27 and 65) middle order work. The Thunder’s batting line-up looks so much more solid this season with the inclusion of Waugh near the top. With Ben Laughlin back in for the second game, TNT’s attack was significantly strengthened. Tom Stewart came through early, bowling the Ranger’s opener to cap a great day with the ball - again. A tight powerplay turned into a ripper with Dom Taylor picking up two wickets in three balls to finish. Glasshouse fell to 6 for 50 with the game effectively over before they scraped home to be 9 for 104. Dom Taylor was the pick of the bowlers with 4-21 to go with his 2-9 in the afternoon. Captain Jake Dennien finished the night with 2 for 15, just in time for the team to watch the AFL grand final in the clubhouse. NEXT SATURDAY’S MATCHES All teams will be playing one day matches for the next month, either 50 overs for first grade or 40 overs for other grades. Next Saturday, First Grade travel to Gympie, second grade are at home at Read Park against Palmwoods, fourth grade play Palmwoods at their ground and sixth grade take on USC at Dale Officer Oval. The fixture draw has made it possible that a match (either first or second grade) will be played at Read Park every Saturday and also fourth and sixths will alternate each Saturday at Dale Officer Oval.

Flexible octogenarian Stella Edmundson.

Stella Edmundson shows her moves.

When age is no barrier Most people who reach the age of 80 years, are content to just put their feet up and watch TV with the grandkids and the family dog crawling all over them. But for one “ 80-year-old, young lady”, this could not be further from the truth. Born, to use her own words, “just three days after Pearl Harbor, in Monterey California”, she is not only still very active, but also about to physically achieve one of her goals to sit for and pass her Shodan (black belt grading) in Shotokan Karate. Indeed, for Stella Edmundson, 1st Kyu (brown belt), this would have to be one of life’s joys. “For me it is a way of life. Down through the years I have found that if you keep at it, continue your training, you will find that it will improve your fitness, your balance and flexibility.” To watch this lady training in the Sunshine Coast Martial Arts Shotokan Karate and Fitness Institute dojo, which she does five days a week, is an outstanding example of someone achieving exactly what they preach. Stella’s Australian connection started in 1973 when she arrived with her husband Wade and two children. However, it had not been a direct passage, for her husband, an officer in the American army, received a posting to Japan. Down through the years their journey (some of it military postings) saw them spending time in such places as Hawaii, Indonesia and India. It was after arriving in Australia that Stella became involved in the world of the fighting arts by mistake in 1992. “I had no background in martial arts, so I assumed that tae kwon do, was an offshoot of tai chi, because the words sounded alike,” she said with a laugh. 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 1 October, 2021

“I soon discovered the two martial arts systems are very different. I was introduced to kicks, punches, blocks and loved it.” Stella’s introduction to the arts started in Armidale, continued at Coffs Harbour, Nambucca Heads and Caloundra. Through all of this, Stella experienced a steep learning curve, but as a result advanced to secnd dan black belt in one branch, before changing over to train under the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. When moving to the Sunshine Coast, Stella joined a very competitive club in Caloundra named Kicks, run by Adam Morris. However, when her husband became ill, the Edmundson family moved to Twin Waters, where Wade could get better care. But because of the longer travel to and from the Caloundra club, Stella decided it was time to retire. Despite being retired for several years, Stella never lost her love of martial arts. “Then one day by chance, I read a magazine article about a man named Garry Maher, a respected sensei. He had started a Masters Karate Group which held morning classes in the Shotokan Karate Dojo in Noosaville. I signed up immediately and have been training in the same dojo ever since. And that, was in the spring of 2017.” Down through the years Stella became a confident and proficient competitor and her achievements are, to say the least, outstanding. National champion 2004-2008, Commonwealth Games Brisbane 2006 silver and bronze medals: Pan Pacific Masters Games gold 2004, 2010, 2018. And gradings: International Tae Kwon Do Federation second dan and World Tae Kwon Do Federation, 2008, fourth dan. ‘’I am of the opinion that Shotokan karate is a challenging martial art for all students. Although my background in tae kwon do was

helpful, this was a whole new style with a different approach.” But under the teaching and guidance of sensei’s Bryan Dukas sixth dan and Rick Hislop fifth dan, her progress into the art of Shotokan karate became one of learning and knowledge, both of which she acknowledged and quickly accepted with gratification. Regarding her attitude to training and the club, Sensei Rick Hislop said, ‘’This lady, is incredible for her age and is a fantastic example for both young and old. Stella is, without a doubt, a shining example for all club members.” We wish her well in all her endeavours. For Mark Evans, moving the Impact Boxing Academy from the outer regions of Cooroy into the town area has been a success, is now definitely an understatement. The club membership has greatly improved and the club now consists of a professional team of boxers as well as amateurs. Amongst the professionals are Benny Cameron-Hands, Luke Martin and Keiran Whitehead. This Saturday night four members of the Impact club will also take part in a tournament in Zillmere and then on 19 November, team members will again fight on the program at the Bananas Bender formerly known as the Ettamogah Pub. But in all honesty, perhaps their biggest success would have to be their involvement in what has become known as the Barbwire Barbecue .Held on a Saturday morning, it is not only hosted by the Impact Boxing club, but also held at their facility. Its purpose is to assist in aiding the Barbwire team in their efforts to establish a solid support group whose purpose is to consolidate a project known as Suicide Prevention Within Our Community. As this is a very personal problem that has affected families throughout our community, it is something that must be addressed now. All being well the next barbecue get together will

be on 23 November. The newly formed Noosa Paddle Sports Club, kicked off with a junior program to cover the school holidays. ‘’With the 2032 Olympics in mind, we have one of the best water ways in the world, so it is only fitting that we work on turning Noosa into a paddle mecca,” coach Scharlen Kelly said. The success of our swimmers at the Tokyo Olympics has made people realise that the success is in many cases the result of years of planning and training. It is not something that can be achieved overnight. Junior paddles from around ages 12-17yrs are going to be the perfect age by the time the 2032 Olympics comes around if they start learning and training now. Good news this week for Noosa’s Sharleen Kelly. Known and respected for her success as coach of champion iron woman Lana Rogers, she was selected to be on the expert coaching panel for Surf Lifesaving Australia Women in Sport, coaching for the elite program. Sharleen responded by saying: “I am really delighted SLSA chose me to be part of this fantastic program. As a female coach in surf lifesaving, I know only too well the adversity I have experienced, and I am passionate about helping pave the way to make it easier for women in the future to reach their full leadership potential in surf sports.” This program will be a mix of virtual correspondence, and face to face, for each state on 20 November, followed by an ongoing coaching mentor program. Any female member of surf lifesaving is encouraged to apply through their club. Having witnessed first- hand some of the adversity experienced by this outstanding young woman, I publicly add my congratulations. Well done coach, well done!

European surf on my mind It’s now more than 18 months since I travelled anywhere (other than Agnes Water) to surf, my longest homestay in over 30 years. To be honest, it hasn’t bothered me as much I’d imagined it would, mainly because we live in a surfing paradise with other surfing paradises nearby. And having recently become a septuagenarian, it’s not like I’m jonesing to get on a boat, find a slab and surf HARD. No, that bird has flown. Travel, however, is in my bones, and when I can, I will, for as long as I’m able. Now that everyone is talking about a return to normality, the international borders opening to us with vaccine passports and so on, it doesn’t take much to start me dreaming. This week it was a post on the Magic Seaweed website about a dot in the Baltic Sea called Bornholm, where a guy named Dennie Hilding has lived, run a sustainable farm and surfed for about a decade. Bornholm’s first surfer, Dennie has spawned a crew of about 20 who surf year round despite the icicles. And it looks pretty good. I pulled up Google Earth and worked out that I had once looked at that body of water from the opposite coast, and had seen fun waves. It was 2003, and to celebrate their admission to the European Union, the Baltic States were offering ridiculously cheap “weekend escapes”. My wife and I grabbed one and flew from our home in France to Vilnius, Lithuania. We spent a couple of days exploring that magical little city that still bears the scars of two brands of totalitarian cruelty, then lit out for the Baltic coast in a rented Lada, coming to rest at the seaside resort of Palanga, where I saw peeling left and rights to either side of the long pier. Trading the Russian deathtrap for a couple of cycles, we rode along the shore for several hours, finding more surfable waves in little rock bottom coves. Never saw a surfer or a surfboard, but if I’d been kitted with a board and 5mms of neoprene, I’d have surfed in at least four of the breaks we found. Since first going to Europe in 1973, I’ve surfed the Atlantic coasts from County Donegal, Ireland in the north to Safi, Morocco in the south, the North Sea coasts of Yorkshire, Scotland, the Netherlands and Belgium, the islands of the Channel and all over the Med. I’ve never been much of a cold water person, but jeez I’ve had some fun! In the early days, of course, we were nev-

Bornholm in the Baltic. er prepared for it. In the summer of ’73, my mate and I abandoned our bikes in Exeter and caught the train to Newquay, Cornwall, where at a surf shop 100 metres from the station I bought a second-hand Bilbo rounded pin from the legendary Aussie surfer Stuart “Twizzle” Entwhistle. I didn’t have enough dough to also buy a duck-tail wetsuit, so until I’d got a job as a guesthouse (not so) handyman and saved 10 quid, I braved the Cornish elements in just my boardies. In later years when Europe was our base, my work took me everywhere, and always left time to look for surf. And, working for a surf company, there was never a shortage of surfboards or wetsuits wherever we went. Gary “Kong” Elkerton and I once travelled up to Yorkshire for our mate Gabe Davies’ buck’s party, and with ferocious hangovers the next morning, we surfed beautiful lefts on a reef just outside the shipyard where Captain

Picture: MAGIC SEAWEED James Cook did his apprenticeship. Another time I took a bunch of Hawaiian surfers on a promotional trip to the beautiful island of Jersey, where, when the massive tide rushed in, we surfed fun waves until they started smashing into the seawall. That night we held a Meet the Hawaiians party at the pub and the entire Jersey surfing community turned up in suits and ties. But the best of times in my search for European surf were in Sardinia, an unlikely swell magnet in the middle of the Mediterranean. Here the water was relatively warm, and the rugged island offered a variety of surf, ranging from playful longboard waves in the bay of the capital, Cagliari, to challenging reef setups on the windswept north and west coasts, particularly at a place called Capo Manu. After every morning surf session, our Italian hosts would insist on setting up long tables by the beach and serving astonishing multi-

course lunches washed down with good local wines, making the evening glass-off surf sessions somewhat comical. I think of surfing in Europe often, particularly at this time of year, when the evenings on the Bay of Biscay are still gloriously long, the summer crowds have thinned out and the swells are consistent and clean. Will we ever get back there? I live in hope that the borders will reopen before the steam runs out. FOOTNOTE: Another too-close-for-comfort episode last week at the river mouth when super-fit foil surfer and stand-up paddler Martin Krause suffered a heart attack as he left the water. Two off-duty nurses performed CPR until the ambulance arrived. Martin has now joined our large stent club. Heart disease can hit anyone. Never take it lightly. Wishing Martin and Laure all the best for a speedy recovery. Friday, 1 October, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 47

Nestled into the north facing side of Laguna Hill, this is a rare opportunity to secure this landmark residence which showcases expansive sweeping views across Noosa Main Beach to North Shore, Noosa River up to Tewantin and beyond. “It’s a magnificent home,’’ Lisa said, “and first time to market in more than 40 years. “Positioned across a double block zoned high density, there is the potential to redevelop the site. “So many people who have admired Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

An architect-designed four-bedroom house with pool on 1447sq m at 41 Picture Point Cres, Noosa Heads, is set for auction at 11am on Saturday, October 9. 251756 the site have wanted to see it at the first chance. “It has been an incredible response so far. “People love the appeal of the location, being so close to Hastings Street, and the view. “It is an architect-designed home, circa 1970s, on a 1447sq m double block.’’ Inquiry has been from locals, as well as interstate people living here, Lisa said. “The interest from New South Wales and Victoria is huge.’’ UPGRADING OR DOWNSIZING There are so many locals who have always wanted an Elizabeth St, Noosaville, address. On Saturday, October 2, Kate Cox and Tony Cox of Reed & Co are taking the threebedroom, two-bathroom, two-car duplex apartment with pool 2/36 Elizabeth St, to auction at 2.45pm. There has been some interstate interest, Kate said, but predominantly it has been Brisbane and local. “They are either upgrading or downsizing and attracted by the location. “They have always wanted Elizabeth St, one block from Gympie Tce and because of privacy in general. “This apartment has got elevation,

breezes, high ceilings and generous bedrooms ... it’s like a house. “A quality build, with timber floors, stone benchtops and lots of light. “It’s proving very popular ... we thought it would be.’’ Much of the local interest is coming from those who have sold but are not leaving the area. HAPPY OUTCOME It was a great auction, Lian Scott of Wythes Real Estate said about 18 Mallee Cl, Doonan, on Saturday. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on 1.55ha with six-car garaging attracted four registered bidders - from Brisbane and local as well as phone bidder from New South Wales. It was a very sensitive sale, Lian said, as two brothers were selling the property on behalf of their parents. It had been a happy home for them through the years. “One of two brothers was on site and was that pleased with the results he was shaking. “The other brother was on video call from the central coast of New South Wales. “It sold under the hammer for $1.375m to the phone bidder from Terrey Hills in New South Wales.

A five-bedroom, four-bathroom, three-car house at 18 Orealla Cres, Sunrise Beach, is scheduled for auction at 12pm on Saturday, October 2. 251756 “So there were very happy vendors and buyers.’’ A HOME WITH VIEWS It’s a beautiful home ... one that’s hard to find in this tight property market. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom, threecar house at 18 Orealla Cres, Sunrise Beach, is set for auction at 12pm on Saturday, October 2. Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the four-year-old house offered great sea views and hinterland sunsets. There are main bedroom options both upstairs and downstairs, making it appealing to the extended family or dual living. Situated 150m to the beach access, it’s almost a corner site and the vendor has put a rooftop terrace on to take advantage of the views. It provides two levels of multiple living areas and long wide terraces. The response has been mainly from locals and Brisbane, Peter said, as well as interstate. ONE, TWO, THREE Not one, not two but three ... Roark Walsh at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking two Hastings St dual-key apartments to auction today, Friday, at 9am that offers three separate bedrooms with individual bathrooms.

The Ocean Breeze apartments 16 and 17, 52 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, are directly across the road from Noosa’s beautiful Main Beach. The two ground-floor apartments are linked by a balcony. Both are open plan with fully equipped kitchens. Completely renovated, it is the only three-bedroom unit on one level in the complex and can be rented out in any format. There are so many options, Roark said. Stay there and rent, have extended family visit, rent one, two or all three. It’s overlooking the street so it has an external view and the joint courtyard is north facing. Interest has been mainly Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Roark also reported the sale post auction of 15 Woodlark St, Peregian Beach, to local buyers, moving sideways in the market. “They were looking for a more expansive property with bigger views and quality finishes.’’ OUT OF TOWN There is a lot more to the 42.9ha property at 23 Bidners Road, Lake Macdonald, than meets the eye, especially if you are simply looking from the road. That is why Paul Bielby of Hinternoosa has been holding open for inspections nearly every day in the lead-up to today, Friday’s auction at 11am. The opens have created a lot of interest, he said, particularly from some high-end buyers. “You can only see about half the property from the road address,’’ Paul said. “You need a tour to get a good look at it.’’ Inquiry has been coming from business leaders in the Noosa hinterland as well as coastal areas, but also from Brisbane and further afield. From the property you look straight at Cooroy Mountain, and there are some quality properties surrounding. “It’s a really good block of land,’’ Paul said, “that’s been in same family for many years. “Some high-profile people have tried to buy it over time. Now it’s ready to be sold. “Vacant land is very rare in this market. “There is a dairy farm next door so it’s fenced.

An eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom, two-car house and cottage with pool on 1.31ha at 75 Eumundi Range Rd, Eumundi, goes to auction Saturday, October 9, at 3pm. 251756 “People just have to look at the value of properties around the mountain.’’ Being part of the Lake Macdonald water supply catchment, the property cannot be subdivided under the current Noosa Plan. Paul has just picked up a nice listing on Nandroya Rd - a Hamptons-look fivebedroom house on 2ha with views and a likely price of offers over $2.9m A NEW APPROACH All it took was a new approach and a fresh set of eyes and the three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 9 Netherby Rise, Sunrise Beach, sold for $3.180m. The recently completed architectural masterpiece by Kelly Martin offered ocean views and four minutes walk to the beach. It was the fourth highest sale in the street and the second-highest sale on the side of the street. Ferdinand Braeutigam of Oceanside Properties said the property had been on the market but within 10 days of taking over the listing they had it sold. “We took a new look at it and gave the campaign a fresh approach,’’ he said. “It was an exciting time. “There were six potential buyers and four offers submitted. “In the video we explained the concept of the house and provided a detailed floorplan. “Buyers respect that you are being clear and transparent throughout the process ... they feel more confident.’’

Interest came from local and interstate, and in the end it was a buyer from Sydney who particularly liked the modern style of the home. The entire ground level of the house seems endless with floating indoor–outdoor living to the north and south. Two outside decks add a choice for entertaining and there is a 12-metre saltwater pool. EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT An eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom, two-car house and cottage with pool on 1.31ha at Eumundi has everything a family or investor could want. Complete with B&B licence, the property at 75 Eumundi Range Rd goes to auction Saturday, October 9, at 3pm. Adam Kuczynski at Noosa Hinterland Realty said initial interest has been from South East Queensland mainly, some coastal areas of Noosa and Brisbane. Then there are people from Victoria who are up here already. “We have had good numbers at both open homes and generally the interest is to use the property for holiday rental or a family home with income potential.’’ The modern country-style Garth Chapman Queenslander features six bedrooms and six bathrooms, a separate two-bedroom renovated cottage and a twocar shed. In an elevated position within walking distance of the town, there are multiple outdoor entertainment areas with views.

There is even a fully-fenced paddock with horse shelter and bore.

ON THE COVER

BEYOND EXPECTATIONS MINUTES from Little Cove Beach, nestled in an exclusive enclave and hugged by the Noosa National Park, is world-class Coco Privé, the latest incomparable showpiece from the celebrated design and development team of Glen and Deborah Watson. This is indisputable luxury on tap, and the future owner need only bring a toothbrush and a suitcase. Everything else has been taken care of, from custom furniture and curated artworks to towels by the pool, crockery in the kitchen, and linen on the bed. Enough to make you sigh. From the private driveway, first impressions count. The ultra-modern residence has an eye-catching metal laser-cut façade, indoors it’s an elegantly pared back foyer, but stealing the limelight is beyond expectation, as immeasurable living and dining spaces with limestone floors, and a warm soft palette, seem to ‘disappear’ and coalesce naturally to numerous state-of-the-art travertine alfresco terraces. Class, custom design, and provenance, such as sumptuous linen-covered sofas, brushed metal side tables, integrated fireplace, silk rugs, accessories, artwork, dining table hand hewn in South American hardwood, plus designer rough-cut crystal pendants, leather with teak chairs, are paramount throughout. Similarly, the equally high-end kitchen, multiple appliances, and storage. The bespoke cantilevered stone-clad island is a work of art, and luxury cabinetry has a soft timber finish and brushed copper handles. Focusing on the good life alfresco, the priority was to make the most of the aspect by ‘wrapping’ the residence on three sides by numerous terraces and zones. In complete line of sight from the living spaces and a glass-walled study on the main level, are the Watson’s signature upholstered double day beds ‘floating’ on the dazzling viridescent, mosaic-tiled infinity pool. A terrace on the right has a fringe of giant birds of paradise and a sunken seating area with a hint of Japan, has an underwater viewing window and suggests cocktails and sushi around the limestoneclad outdoor gas fire. On the northside overlooking rainforest gardens, an outdoor dining space has a table for ten, and the latest barbeque is integrated into a travertine bench top. Taking avantgarde to the next level, and inspired by the nautilus shell, is a

curvaceous almost spherical staircase, with imported white limestone, crafted onsite, and offset by an exceptional chandelier-like art-piece. Upstairs, is more a penthouse-style master suite as it consumes the top level, overlooking a massive sky terrace with spa and lounges, which in turn looks out over the Noosa National Park rainforest. Peace reigns while birds trilling and the creek trickling over rocks, are a bonus. The king master bedroom exudes everything luxe from plush carpet, silk custom silk velvet bedhead, marble pendants, brushed brass full height mirrors, as does the walk-through robe, and bathroom with limestone floors and walls, double size rainwater showers and oversize round stone bath with a view of the rainforest. On the lower level is another lounge/ relaxing/media area with over-sized sofas, chairs, and television, also every necessary designer accoutrement to complement. There are also two gorgeous queen size bedrooms with opaque-walled ensuites, and round stone baths. Both have a full wall of windows with doors opening to a terrace, and a rainforest backdrop. “The location is second-to-none and this brand-new residence is the ultimate prize,” says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller. “Resplendent Little Cove is a jewel on Australia’s seaboard. It’s where the ocean meets rainforest albeit the Noosa National Park, where minutes away sophisticated Hastings Street meets laidback Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay. “This really is an extraordinary opportunity to own a substantial slice of magic and this ‘turn-key’ residence has it all.” Facts & Features: Land Area: 937m2 House Area: 850m2 About: recently completed; engineered full concrete construction; fully tiled infinity pool w built-in double upholstered ‘floating’ day beds; open plan living, dining and kitchen open to pool; imported limestone flooring throughout internal living spaces and bathrooms; custom, limestone clad outdoor gas fires; oversized 2-car garage with wall of full-height cupboards Location: less than 200m to the beach pathway of Hastings Street; close to Noosa National Park + Main Beach. ●

HOME FOCUS

UNRIVALLED LANDMARK BEACHFRONT HOME THIS iconic architect designed beachfront home commands attention as it cantilevers over Sunshine Beach. Its privileged position allows you to feel like you are floating on the ocean. Significantly, it sits higher than homes to the north which allows an expansive view of not only the ocean but also to the north along the length of the beach to the headland and National Park. The sculpted design by Frank Macchia cleverly provides for the house to be oriented to the north and east. Full length balconies face due north allowing for year round sun while full length windows to the east provide protection from the wind. The home provides multiple living areas and a seamless integration between the outside and inside. Sandstone feature walls, sand-hued floor tiles, an undercover terrace, with a 14-metre-long pool, set the overall beachy scene in the living and dining area. Making a splash, however, is the kitchen propped on a polished timber plinth. Blackstone counter tops, cream mosaictiled splashback, and island bench with a grey tiled inset, are complemented by classy

pendants and classic black and chrome stools, which are fixed to the floor but of course swivel on a whim to catch oceanic moments, such as whales in the season, and hang gliders off the Noosa National Park headland at the northerly end. The master suite is designed to capture

the magnificent views allowing sunrise to be watched from bed. Site-line windows, a walk-in robe and dressing table, a huge ensuite with shower and seating tiled in white tiles and grey mosaics are accompanied by two separate white basins. An office area with a custom-built

desk is situated nearby. Upstairs is more a studio than a mastersized bedroom. It has an ensuite, built-in robes, a kitchenette, separate entrance, plus access to the living areas. On the lower level is a twin bedroom, family-sized bathroom, laundry, and a supersized casual living/media space opening out to a beachside terrace, rear garden, and everyone’s favourite stairs leading down to the beach. “Swap the alarm for the sound of waves breaking on shore, grab surfboards, kids, and dogs, and head down the steps in front to the beach, because this is the heavenly side of Sunshine,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tim McSweeney who is taking the property to auction on Sunday 24 October. “For those seeking a private, safe, secure and unrivalled lifestyle this beautiful beach house has the most amazing views plus it is in one of the most revered streets of beachside Sunshine Beach. This home is situated equidistant between the off lead dog area of Sunshine and the patrolled beach. A short stroll up to the Surf Club and shops.” ●

PROPERTY NEWS

IT’S MARVELLOUS WHAT A YEAR CHANGES IT’S been a year like no other yet a group of Noosa real estate agents saw the challenge and confronted it head-on. In October 2020, Noosa Estate Agents came to life with three former colleagues and long-term local agents Scott Cowley, Nathan Howie and Kelsie Melville combining to create a company and brand that would deliver the best service, marketing platforms and optimum results for each client. Joined soon after by Sam Plummer and Angela Wood, widely recognised as top selling agents for many years, the team has grown and achieved results far beyond even their own expectations. After the initial Covid lock-downs in the early part of 2020, most of us were unsure of how the property market would fair, with the majority of analysts predicting a severe correction in prices of up to 30 per cent. July and August saw a lift in buyer activity and by October/November we could see the trend was going against what earlier predictions were saying. From then on, inquiry levels rose sharply, as did the number of sales across all price ranges and suburbs. We could now see that the Noosa property market was heading into new territory as the frenzy took hold, the number of available properties tightened

Jane Davis of Noosa Tigers Australian Football Club with the team from Noosa Estate Agents: Scott Cowley, Angela Wood, Kelsie Melville, Sam Plummer and Nathan Howie. 251863

dramatically and the sheer volume of buyer interest put upward pressure on prices. There have been some major changes over the past 12 months, not only to the market but in the way we handle property transactions as an industry, and we’ve had to adapt.

With many people not being able to cross the border to do physical inspections, we have used video and Facetime inspections to satisfy buyers and give them an accurate idea of what the properties are. The market is moving so quickly now and more often than not we have multiple

offers on each property. So, the use of programs like Docusign has become crucial in getting forms and contracts delivered, signed and returned as quickly as possible. Zoom has also assisted with client meetings across boarders and internationally, as well as auctions that have been either fully or in-part online to allow those who can’t be here to participate. There have been many challenges to overcome and adaptions to make in our business, but we have enjoyed the change and our journey so far. Being a part of the community is very important to us and this year Noosa Estate Agents have become sponsors of the Noosa Tennis Association and more recently have partnered with the Noosa Tigers, becoming one of the major sponsor of the club. We look forward to continuing and expanding our support across the local community. We are extremely thankful and grateful to everyone who has supported our team and helped us along the way to have the most amazing first year in operation. We’re looking forward to assisting many more buyers and sellers over the next 12 months to achieve their Noosa real estate dreams. ●

For sales, permanent rentals and holiday lets, please call the team at Garwoods – who have built a reputation based on results.

What’s the best method of selling my property in today’s market? Some agents are heavily promoting auction, saying you risk missing out on some money if you don’t. There is a better solution. A few weeks ago, we had an open house at a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit at the same time as another agent had an auction in the complex next door of a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit. We had 4 offers at the open house and sold it that afternoon. The other property had one bidder who bid (he told us himself) and it did not sell. Why the difference? At an auction, anyone who is not totally cash and unconditional is excluded, and cash buyers often are not willing to pay as much as buyers using finance. “Offers Over” is the strategy we use, and it works, setting a base price, and not one of our recent sales has not set a premium above this floor price. We also give all buyers a notice making them well aware of what they need to do. We have also been told by disappointed buyers of other properties, that agents have not got back to them asking them to improve their offer. Do talk to us about how we handle this – it takes skill, attention to detail and reliability. David Garwood Co-Principal

MAGNIFICENT HINTERLAND ESTATE A LEISURELY 20-minutes drive from Noosa Main Beach to the Tinbeerwah range, 213-metres above sea level and flanked by nature’s abundant beauty, is a wonderland of magnificent shade trees, open paddocks and the distinctive lines of a Queenslander-inspired homestead. Situated discreetly on the peak of the property’s gentle rise, the total wrap-around verandah offers sweeping views over the spectacular grounds with Mt Cooroy as the equally impressive backdrop. The setting is an invitation to stroll the grounds, a short walk leads to the spring-fed lily-dotted dam, and a rainforest pocket straddles Six Mile Creek. The morning sun drenches the eastwing ensuited bedroom where the outlook takes in the striking outline of Mt Cooroy. A glorious vista by day and a moonlit pyramid in the star-studded sky by night. What a sight! The glow of a generous combustion fireplace warms the interior during the short winters, and dappled sunlight streams onto the verandahs all year round, offering plentiful spots for a quiet retreat or comfortable entertaining. With flexibility of open living and generous built-in bedrooms, the untapped wealth of potential for many lifestyle pursuits is sure to pique the interest of many.

The property features the infrastructure to support livestock and horses and of course keen gardeners, artists, and artisans, with massive high span sheds, ample rainwater storage and multipurpose outbuildings. Whatever your interest, it’s here. In the shade of the established turpentines you can experience the tranquility and attractions of coastal country living with a song in your heart. For nature lovers and bird watchers, hikers, and mountain bikers, this is your

own private treasure trove. Flocks of brilliantly coloured birds visit the native tree smorgasbord and trills from the treetops make up the soothing soundtrack to an idyllic lifestyle. Situated equidistant from the bustling country township of Cooroy and the seaside excitement of Noosa Heads, there is easy access to the motorway and rail links, and the recently upgraded Maroochydore Airport is a 30-minute hop away. Noosa’s natural wonders are your constant companion, and the region’s

cosmopolitan delights are on the doorstep. “Few properties of this size, beauty and especially location become available for purchase,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 16 October, at 3pm. “A mere 20-minutes to Noosa Heads’ many splendours and 10-minutes to riverside Gympie Terrace Noosaville, this exceptional hinterland holding offers the best of both worlds plus an abundant opportunity for future additions.” ●

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

BREWERY AND RESTAURANT NEAR NOOSA SILKY Oak Tea Gardens (The Crafty Brewery) is a successful commercial venture that has been listed for sale at exactly the right time for a local or interstate owner to take it to the next level. For those in the know, Silky Oak Tea Gardens / The Crafty Brewery is a “hidden gem”, a rustic restaurant and venue with tranquil gardens, a stone’s throw from the southern gateway to Fraser Island. Located on the corner of Tin Can Bay Road just 20 minutes from Tin Can Bay, 35 minutes from Rainbow Beach and 15 minutes from Gympie and the Bruce Highway, Silky Oak Tea Gardens offers locals and tourists a relaxing place to chill and unwind with superb craft beer and homestyle food. The well-known fully licenced brewery, live music venue and restaurant at 31-33 Priddy Road, Kia Ora is a destination in its own right, popular with day travellers from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, interstate visitors, caravanners and backpackers. The gardens and brewery are perfectly positioned to take advantage of the 70,000 annual visitors to Rainbow Beach, a popular destination for 4WD enthusiasts, fishermen, surfers and ecotourists. A favourite with customers One customer described Silky Oak Tea Gardens as “excellent location, great food, great place, oh and great craft beer. Highly recommended, buy yourself a growler of beer to take home”. The venue scores 4.6/5 on Google Reviews and 4.5/5 on Trip Advisor, with customers using phrases like “well worth a stop”, “hidden gem” and “cosy hideaway” to describe their experiences. Local guide Jacki Stander depicts the venue as “Rusticly wondrous!! Great

atmosphere, food and staff. Recommend a visit...blow your conceptions and mind!!” Looking for new owners with a vision The idyllic location has hit the market for the first time, listed for Expressions of Interest with Ray White Commercial Noosa & Sunshine Coast North. Founders Daryl and Helen plan to retire after 25 years, making way for new owners with a vision who can maximise the site’s incredible potential. Chantel Dielwart, commercial property consultant at Ray White Commercial Noosa & Sunshine Coast North, says Silky Oak Tea Gardens / The Craft Brewery is ideal for anyone seeking a unique commercial opportunity and lifestyle change. “The business is successful with a significant turnover and a consistent

documented trade history. It has a strong and loyal customer base, is regularly booked out, and is popular for parties and functions. People love the quirky atmosphere and good old fashioned pub service. The brewery has built a great reputation for their craft beers,” Chantel said. “A Commercial Hotel License and license for manufacturing alcohol are included in the sale along with the right to three detached bottle shops, which adds to the appeal. The owners are keen to pass on their brewing secrets to the new owners if desired.” The property has everything needed to run a successful hospitality business large commercial kitchen, outside kitchen, pizza oven and smoker, cold and storage

rooms. The current capacity is 160 people, with 80 in the large fully furnished timber dining room and bar and 80 in the alfresco dining area. Part of local community folklore, the Silky Oak literally has Darryl and Helen’s stamp on it. When the silky oak tree that gave the property its name died after being hit by lightning in 2012, the couple milled it into pieces for a new bar top. They then invited residents and farmers to brand it with symbols representing generations of life on the land https://www.couriermail. com.au/news/queensland/gympie/secondlife-for-old-silky-oak-tree/news-story/ f667a6ce220fcc19ef141272ab18185c. A rainforest fern garden now fills the space the silky oak once occupied. It’s these personal touches that create interesting talking points and make the place truly unique. Comfortable home and abundant potential But that’s not all. The new owner will also secure a comfortable three-bedroom home set on peaceful private property, with timber floors and a carport. An adjoining allotment forms part of the sale, providing additional space to expand and bringing the total land area to 4.9 acres (19,861m2*). The second allotment is well maintained and features abundant fruit trees, a large shed and an operational bore with quality drinking water. “The property is a blank canvas for future development or expansion subject to council approval,” Chantel said. “It really needs to be seen to appreciate its nature and amazing potential! This opportunity would suit owner/occupiers, looking for a successful lifestyle transition, hospitality industry professionals or investors alike.” ●
