Let’s Tri again in Noosa It’s full steam ahead for the Noosa Triathlon with 6000 athletes and 4000 festival event attendees booked in to the world’s best triathlon which kicks off next Wednesday 27 October with the Noosa Run Swim Run on Main Beach and ends with the main event on Sunday.

Regional director of organising group, The Ironman Group Oceania, Rob Stalling said construction began Monday for the Expo and check in area in Noosa Woods with this year’s event layout to be similar to previous years, and with extra spacing allowed to meet Covid-safe requirements.

Rob said with the loss of NSW and Victorian athletes, who were unable

to attend due to Covid, numbers were down about 3000 on the last Tri in 2019 but there had been a lot of interest from Queensland athletes who may not have made it in the past or been training during Covid.

“We have a good list of Queensland athletes coming,” he said. “There are former Olympians, former triathletes.

Noosa attracts them all.”

Rob said in line with Covid practices check in times and bike drops off had been staggered this year, mask wearing was encouraged and the latest health advice was being monitored.The Noosa Triathlon Festival Events offer a mix of events with wide appeal.

Short-stay control

By Margie Maccoll

12497020-DL22-21

The path is set for Noosa Council, the first council in Queensland, to enact a Short-stay Letting Local Law to take effect next February after an almost unanimous vote in its favour at Council’s General Meeting on Monday.

Only councillor Amelia Lorentson voted against the local law that councillors look destined to ratify at their Ordinary Meeting Thursday night.

Cr Lorentson said while she supported the regulation of the short term accommodation (STA) industry she believed council had “gone too far”. She identified three key issues of noise, bad behaviour and irresponsible management as those needing to be managed.

“How did we get to this - site plans, floor

plans, $10 million public liability insurance, approvals, renewal fees, fines for not keeping records, fines for clapping, cheering or singing,” she asked. “What’s in front of us is another layer of restrictions and controls. It’s simply too much.” She called on councillors to pull back on the law to ensure Noosa didn’t look like the grand “nanny council in the nanny state of Queensland”.

Cr Lorentson described the local law as unfair, discriminatory and an additional financial burden for property owners that may lead to a reduced accommodation stock in a shire with an economy dependent on tourism. And she said the local law may be subject to legal challenge on the basis it goes beyond council’s powers and its anti-competition provisions.

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said it would not

be surprising that some STA owners would fight against the local law but the community had been crying out for something to be done. This local law requires nothing more than is required by existing accommodation owners to make their property safe for guests and not disturb neighbours and other guests, he said. Cr Wilkie said the local law would be beneficial to about 10,600 residential properties and an estimated 26,500 residents within them and the benefits on health and amenity have been estimated at $9.56 million. This is about a balance of competing interests. We have to have confidence in the staff doing their work correctly and that our legal advice is sound, he said.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the Short-Stay Letting Local Law aimed at managing the impact of short-stay properties on residential amenity

and would also protect guests by introducing minimum safety standards property owners will need to meet.

“This Local Law gives us a practical tool over and above the planning scheme - to ensure short-stay property owners are being good neighbours and dealing with issues as they arise,” she said.

Council estimates 86 per cent of Noosa’s short-stay accommodation operators are based outside of Noosa Shire with 51 per cent of those outside of Queensland.

“With the state shelving its plans for a statewide framework and our community calling out for controls on the use of residential properties for short-stay accommodation, we must act,” Cr Stewart said.

With October being breeding season, Noosa has been moving with snakes, including the world’s second most venomous snake.

Noosa snake catcher Luke Huntley has been kept on his toes catching plenty of pythons, red-bellied black snakes, and even an eastern brown snake along Noosa River.

“It was another beautiful day along the river when the staff at O Boat Hire got a bit of a shock as they spotted a large eastern brown snake,” he said.

“The world’s second most venomous snake was seen going under some kayaks.

“With this being right in the middle of Gympie Terrace, and O Boat not being able to hire any boats out until this snake was relocated, they called me and I arrived five minutes later.

“I played cat and mouse with it under the boats until I found the kayak it was under.”

She wasn’t too keen on being caught! Its understandable she was fully exposed and in the middle of everyone.

Once in the bag, O Boat could continue the day and the snake was taken out to some suitable bushland.

Beware of snake bites

The editor’s desk

Last year 105 people were bitten by snakes on the Sunshine Coast and more than 870 across Queensland.

As the weather warms up snakes are becoming more active as do people and the number of snake bites rise accordingly.

Already this year 67 people on the Sunshine Coast and 627 statewide have been bitten by snakes, most bites occurring in the warmer months of the year and most common venomous snake bites from an Eastern Brown.Sunshine Coast Queensland Ambulance Service acting district director Tony Hucker is regularly called to attend to snake bite victims and says good first aid is important to a persons recovery and survival, with only about two people a year across Australia dying from snake bite.

“We say to people you don’t need to catch the snake and you don’t need to kill it,” he said. “You don’t need to identify the

snake to be treated with antivenom (also known as antivenin). We’ll assume it’s a venomous snake.”

Tony said if you’re bitten by a snake you should dial 000, stay calm, rest and have someone apply a firm pressure bandage to the affected limb and immobilise the limb with a splint, if possible. If, for example, you’re bitten on the finger, the bandage should be applied from the finger tips to the shoulder. The first aid provides an effective way of slowing the flow of venom.

Snakes inject their venom into the soft tissue which then travels into the blood stream via the lymphatic system, which is slow-moving, he said.Tony said once at the hospital doctors will try to detect the type of snake bite from blood tests and geographical cues and have a variety of antivenom they can administer to treat snake bites including polyvalent antivenom which neutralises the effect of the venom of most venomous Australian snakes.

For the past 33 years a public-private partnership has worked to eradicate polio across the world.

Sunday is World Polio Day held to celebrate the progress of the eradication program which according to Centres for Disease Control and Prevention has saved about 18 million people from polio-causing paralysis. The disease is now endemic in only two remaining countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

So while the world celebrates the success of one vaccine we have a way to go to reach optimal vaccination numbers against Covid19. Now if you have questions on the Covid vaccine Noosa MP Sandy Bolton has teamed up with our own expert, emergency specialist physician Dr Ian Norton to provide the answers.

With talk the Queensland borders will be open by Christmas, what will it mean for Noosa residents in terms of our tourist trade and the pandemic.

Next week the Noosa Triathlon will return after a year’s absence. NSW and Victorian triathletes won’t be able to attend this year but Noosa will still be abuzz with thousands of Queensland triathletes and the many people who come to the festival to take part in the array of events available.

If you’re looking for non-sporting activities the Floating land exhibition will still be on for the next couple of days. An exhibition of work by architect Gabriel can be seen at the Noosa Regional Gallery, Pygmalion is showing at the Noosa Arts Theatre and for more entertainment see visitnoosa.com.au.

And while the Noosa Tri will dominate Noosa’s Main Beach next weekend more than 130 artists will take over the hinterland town of Cooran for theTall Trees Art Exhibition. The community art project provides a boost to businesses and local artists alike and is well worth a visit.

MP and expert talk Covid To avoid possible long Covid vaccination queues and supply shortages resulting from recent border opening announcements Noosa MP Sandy Bolton has a very clear message for residents.

“If you are vaccinating, now is the time.

With the current options available, I have concerns that between the closure of some clinics such as Nambour Hospital and a rush in the lead up to Christmas, those in our community that have been delaying may be confronted with excessive queues, supply shortages or not being able to get an appointment in time to meet any travel requirements that may be confirmed” she said.

Those who have been hesitant to vaccinate can have all their questions answered by viewing conversations between Ms Bolton and Dr Ian Norton, a specialist emergency physician and founder and managing director of health crisis management company Respond Global or check out Noosa Frequently Asked Questions (NFAQs) on her Noosa 360 website. Dr Norton was previously the head of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Emergency Medical Team initiative and has been on the frontline of previous outbreaks including Ebola in Africa. Dr Ian has a wealth of experience coordinating responses to global disease outbreaks and is very much an expert on ‘bugs’.

“Dr Ian has been with us on this journey since the start. Not only in deciphering the requirements for Noosa businesses into practical ways of being COVID safe, but also demystifying confusing directives, and providing the simple facts about this virus,” Ms Bolton said.

Noosa may be in the top five in vaccination

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton speaks with Dr Ian Norton about Covid. rates across Queensland but some residents still have questions remaining, so Ms Bolton and Dr Ian have covered a variety of topics, including the misinformation being shared online, how mRNA vaccines work, why certain restrictions are still being used in countries with high vaccination rates and how herd immunity is achieved.

“These conversations with Dr Ian will be shared online so that residents can access whenever they like to make informed decisions around how to stay safe in the coming weeks as we transition into opening up,” she said.

“Announcements often come without warning. To avoid issues in the coming weeks, including the thousands of holiday visitors

that may add to vaccination queues, book your appointment without further delay.”

Queensland’s Covid Vaccine Plan to unite families Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has released Queensland’s Covid Vaccination Plan to unite families, protect Queenslanders and chart a course through the next stages of the pandemic.

Key features include greater freedoms for those who are fully vaccinated including being able to cross the border from interstate hotspots in time for Christmas.

This will be achieved in cautious and measured stages once 70 and 80 per cent of eligible Queenslanders are double-dosed.

The Premier said how quickly these milestones are achieved depends on how quickly Queenslanders come forward to be vaccinated.

“It’s simple,” the Premier said.

“The more of us who are vaccinated, the sooner we are safely reunited with friends and family interstate and overseas.”

As of Monday, 72.26 per cent of Queenslanders have had one dose of the vaccination and 56.58 per cent are fully vaccinated.

People who are fully vaccinated are 86 per cent less likely to catch Covid and pass it on.

If you are fully vaccinated your chance of dying from Covid-19 falls by 90 per cent.

As has been the case during the pandemic the steps are measured and cautious.

Key milestones are: At 70 per cent of Queensland’s eligible population fully vaccinated (Expected on 19 November): Anyone who has been in a declared domestic hotspot in the previous 14 days can travel into Queensland provided: -They are fully vaccinated -Arrive by air -Have a negative Covid test in the previous 72 hours -Undertake home quarantine for 14 days -Direct international arrivals into Queensland will have to complete 14 days quarantine in Government-nominated facility.

International arrivals who arrive via another state or territory will have to quarantine in a Government-nominated facility until 14 days have passed since they arrived into Australia.

-Those who don’t meet the criteria to arrive via another state or territory will need to apply for a border pass and undertake up to 14 days (subject to review

by AHPPC) quarantine in a governmentnominated facility.

-It is important for businesses to know, at 80 per cent vaccination coverage, there will not be government financial assistance available in the event of increased restrictions or lockdowns.

At 90 per cent of Queenslanders fully vaccinated: -No entry restrictions or quarantine for vaccinated arrivals from interstate or overseas -Unvaccinated travellers will need to apply for a border pass, or enter within the international arrivals cap, and undertake up to 14 days (subject to review by AHPPC) quarantine.

Peter and the black kitchen

By Phil Jarratt Peter Kuruvita’s CV reads like a who’s who of the great and the good of the kitchen across several continents.

The names of the restaurants in which he has worked and the chefs and restaurateurs who have nurtured and inspired him are synonymous with the restaurant histories of London and Sydney and many points in between.

In Europe think the Roux brothers, Thomas Keller, Charlie Trotter, Raymond Blanc and Marco Pierre White. In Australia add Neil Perry, Greg and Peter Doyle and Michael McMahon.

Now stir.

And yet the man who has made the cuisine of Sri Lanka his own humbly gives the greatest credit to his grandmother Achie, and her soot-blackened kitchen in Colombo, where his passion for cooking took root as a small child.

A Noosa resident since 2013, along with wife Karen and two teenaged boys, Kuravita, now 58, recently ended an eight-year partnership with the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort, where his signature restaurant, Noosa Beach House

by Peter Kuruvita, became world famous for its fusion of Australian and Sri Lankan cuisine.

After a storied career of 40 years you might expect him to be enjoying a bit of downtime, but that’s not Kuruvita’s style.

Instead he is spending long days directing construction of Alba by Kuruvita at Noosa Springs, a space that will host a cafe and pizzeria, cocktail bar, restaurant, providore, cooking school and event area. It may well be Kuruvita’s most ambitious project yet.

Amidst the jackhammers and the nail guns, we sat down to discuss a life that begins not in Sri Lanka but in London, to which destination Kuruvita’s father, Wickramapala Kuruvita, had ridden his motorcycle from Colombo in 1953 to see the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, missing the historic event by a matter of days.

But if this was an inauspicious start, Kuruvita Sr, a man who could turn his hand to anything, soon made up for it by starting his own engineering business and falling in love with Liselotte Katharina (known as Lilly), a recent arrival from Austria who was studying to be a Montessori teacher.

By the end of the 1950s the Kuruvitas owned a house in Fulham and had started a family. In 1963 second son Peter was born at St George’s Hospital, but he was only just starting to enjoy London life when Wickramapala made a momentous decision. He had managed to buy a blue Austin minibus which had been used in the making of the cult TV series Thunderbirds.

In this, he said, the whole family – four-months pregnant mum, dad, eight-year-old Phillip and four-year-old Peter, plus a ring-in cousin and the unborn David – would travel overland to Colombo.

The prodigal son would return! The great adventure of being a Kuruvita was clicking into gear for little Peter.

In February 1968 the Thunderbirds bus full of Kuruvitas and virtually everything they owned began an arduous journey that would take them first to Austria to see Lilly’s family, and then across (then) Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India, to finally de-

Peter Kuruvita and the place that will become Alba. posit them on the southern tip of the subcontinent where, Peter would later write, “Dad was about to try and jump our minibus off a rickety wharf onto two linked dugout canoes, which would paddle it out to a ferry where it would be hoisted aboard to complete our journey”.

At Alba Peter pauses for the jackhammer man to take a break, and says wistfully: “I still have wonderful memories of that trip. It was six or seven weeks of high adventure, but what I didn’t know was that it was only just beginning. My mum and dad were both great adventurers so as a kid the adventures just kept coming, but I think those formative years living in Sri Lanka made me the man I am. My values were formed during that time.”

The Kuruvitas moved into the big family compound in Colombo and Wickramapala set about replicating his London success in his homeland. Says Peter: “In London Dad had bought a whole shipment of lathes and shipped them to Colombo where he built a massive workshop on land the family owned.

In those days you couldn’t get anything much mechanical in Sri Lanka, so he was going to make it. My father made everything for everyone, from car parts to sewer pipes, and Colombo Sewerage is still using them! He also found time to go to Germany and buy a brand new 220SE Mercedes. The speedometer would change colour as you drove faster, from green to red. We loved it!”

Despite dad’s business successes, life beyond the compound was sometimes hard for

Peter. He recalls: “I was a bit of a loner. I went to an international school and I only had two friends, the American ambassador’s son and the Swedish ambassador’s son. It was a bit hard, being a half-Sri Lankan in that situation.

My father wasn’t allowed into the swimming club, for example, even though he paid for the membership. Fortunately, things like that began to change while we lived there.”

Peter found solace, and himself in his grandmother Achie’s kitchen. He says: “I think I was the only one of the children who took an interest in it, but for me it was an endlessly fascinating place. It was called the black kitchen because it was all wood-fired and soot covered the walls, but it was the hub of the home. It seemed like a huge place when I was five, but when I go back there now I see it’s so small. But so much went on in there. There were always a couple of house girls scraping coconuts, and my father’s two sisters and my grandmother running the whole show. Mum was never there because she had to look after my younger brother – the only one born in Sri Lanka – and she also became prone to tropical diseases, like dengue fever.

“We lived in a village where there was a market every Sunday out the front on our street, so I grew up surrounded by all this wonderful produce. There was no refrigeration anywhere in the house, so the day would start very early for the ladies, and I was always up then too. They had a little stool made for me and they would give me jobs to do. I was in awe of the way my

grandmother would use the chilli grinding stone. She would make these colourful balls of curry paste – one colour for fish, one for meat and so on – and line them up above the stove.

The daily ritual would begin with making the breakfast food, string hoppers, milk rice with left-over gravy from the day before, and always a beautiful sweet banana and something green for balance.”

Peter pauses again while the jackhammer does its thing, and Alba gets closer to reality.

Without missing a beat, he continues his heartfelt story: “There were 22 people living in the compound, so my grandmother would assess the requirements of each of them, who would be staying at home, who had to go to work or school, and the general health of each of them.

One of my first jobs of the day would be to sift through the rice for bits of rock, because the unscrupulous sellers would put a handful of granite in to get the weight up. Then, a bit later, my grandmother or the aunties would go to the market. Not the big one they had on Sundays but another smaller one behind the bus station which opened early every morning. After the markets had been done, we would start to prepare the hot lunches which a houseboy would later deliver to school. In the afternoon, the women would start preparing the dinner, which was at least five or six different curries, surrounded by leafy greens.

“I was good at making string hoppers. And I loved the festive occasions, when we’d make milk toffee and other sweets. I loved the ritual of everyone stirring it, so that we had all been a part of its creation. When I first started in the kitchen I had no taste for spice, so my grandmother taught me how to make snapper curry, which would get me to the next level of appreciation of spices, and that’s the recipe for a mild but fragrant curry that I’ve been using for the past 20 years.”

By the mid-1970s Sri Lanka was beginning to feel the strains that would ultimately lead to 25 years of civil war. Wickramapala started to talk about moving. Says Peter: “There was increasing political violence in Colombo and the government made it harder to run a business. It was time to go, so Dad sold everything for black market cash, which he converted into gold and gemstones and we just left the country. Coming to Australia was Mum’s call.

Dad wanted to go back to London, but she said, no, let’s try something different. She’d read about Gough Whitlam getting elected and how he’d made visas easier to get for people with skills.”

Peter was 12, going on 13 when the Kuruvitas arrived in Sydney. He recalls: “Relatives and friends in Sri Lanka who’d never been there were telling us we wouldn’t be able to get anything once we arrived, so we landed with all kinds of stuff, including pockets full of gold and gemstones. I had gold bars taped down both arms. We got to customs and they started going through everything, even the jars of spices. It was only a matter of time before they found the gold and the gems, so Dad pulls out this jar of Maldive fish, petrified tuna, and it stinks. He shows the guy the jar and asks is this okay? The guy opens the lid and nearly passes out. We were hurriedly sent on our way out of the customs hall.”

After an uncertain start in Blacktown in Sydney’s west, the family settled in Mortdale, in Sutherland Shire. Says Peter: “I learned to surf at Cronulla and started barracking for St George. We ended up buying a house in Mortdale after Dad had a relative kick the squatters out and sold the house in Fulham. Now we were Aussies!”

But Peter and school did not make a good combination. He says: “I was quite good at it, but I wanted to leave as soon as I could, which was 15 and nine months. I used to get the cane a lot. One time I was sent home with a note in a sealed envelope for my parents. I handed it over to my father, and after a while, he gave me another sealed note and told me to take it back to the headmaster. I stood there while the headmaster read it and he started laughing. He asked me, ‘Do you know what this says? It says, give him six for me!’

“I’d spent a lot of my time in Australia fighting bullies and getting knocked down, so I’d started training in martial arts. I’d toughened up, but I’d lost a lot of that warmth I’d known from my kitchen life in Colombo. One day I was driving around Mortdale with Dad and he said out of the blue, ‘You used to love cooking with your grandmother. There’s a restaurant, why don’t you go in and ask for a job?’

“I thought he was mad, but I knocked on the door and a young guy opened it. I told him my father had forced me to come and ask for a job.

He said, ‘Good, we were thinking of looking for an apprentice’. It was a family restaurant called Crab Apple. They did French food which was basic but really good. This was just before dinner service began, so they handed me a knife and told me to make the garlic bread, so I did it very quickly – I’ve always been a fast worker in the kitchen – and they seemed impressed, so they hired me, starting that night!

“I ran out to the car where Dad was still waiting. I said, ‘I got a job dad, I’m an apprentice chef!’”

Next week, the making of a celebrity chef.

Treasures in trash Quick thinking Noosa Council waste staff and two Cleanaway workers have retrieved a wallet and car keys accidentally thrown away by a Logan man during a trip to Peregian Beach.

Michael Shannon and Carl Pay spent about 20 minutes digging through the contents of a garbage truck to find an orange cooler bag, containing a wallet and car keys.

“These guys are certainly employees of the month,” said a relieved Kylie Lowery She noticed the missing cooler bag after returning home to Logan following a night out at a Pizzani Pizza restaurant in Peregian Beach last Monday night.

Ms Lowery, who owns a cafe in Loganlea, hired a 12-seater bus to bring her staff to her friend’s popular pizza eatery for a celebration.

The wallet and keys in the cooler bag belonged to one of her staff attending the function.

“Prior to the trip home, my husband cleaned out the bus and because it was dark, mistakenly threw out the cooler bag with other rubbish such as bottles, wrappers and cans into the public kerbside bin near the restaurant.”

“We didn’t realise it had been thrown out until we had driven 110 kilometres and arrived back in Logan that night and one of my workers asked where her cooler bag was.

“I was horrified, so I got my friend to check the bin in Peregian Beach first thing the next morning, but it had already been emptied,” said Ms Lowery.

A frantic Kylie contacted Noosa Council Customer Service and spoke to operator Dawn Oliver quickly passed the information on to Waste Administration officer Juli Hoven.

Cleanaway were notified and jumped into action to see if the truck’s contents could be checked.

Cleanaway Operations Supervisor Michael Shannon said luckily driver Trevor Walsh was on his break and hadn’t emptied his truck.

Recovery heroes Trevor Walsh and Michael Shannon.

“It was one of the last bins emptied on Trevor’s run, so we tipped out about a third of the truck’s contents at the Resource Recovery Centre and Carl and I sifted through the rubbish and miraculously found the orange cooler bag,” he said.

“The bag was open, a bit smelly and slimy, but fortunately the wallet and keys weren’t too far away in the garbage so we managed to retrieve everything,” he said.

All the planets had certainly aligned for Kylie and her distraught husband, who were able to return the keys and wallet to their owner.

“Those two guys are awesome, and it is not

something you would see a lot do to go out of their way for a complete stranger,” said a thankful Kylie.

“The whole experience was so pleasant, the council staff were so nice and accommodating, “We’re so appreciative of them going above and beyond for us,” Kylie said.

Cleanaway Manager Garry Williamson praised the efforts of his staff.

“This is more the exception rather than the rule when something is accidentally dropped into a public bin, but I am tremendously proud of the quick response and efforts of Michael and Carl,” he said.

Three men stabbed in ugly brawl Sunshine Coast detectives have arrested and charged two people in relation to a serious assault on Sunday morning in Maroochydore which resulted in three people being stabbed multiple times.

Just after 4am, officers were called to Ocean Street following reports of a fight between pedestrians and the occupants of a vehicle.

During the fight, it will be alleged the driver of the car armed himself with a knife and stabbed three men, aged in their 20s, before fleeing the scene on foot.

A 20-year-old woman passenger was taken into custody at the scene after allegedly verbally abusing police before physically assaulting a female police officer.

The Nambour woman was charged with serious assault police causing bodily harm. She received police bail and will appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Friday 5 November.

The driver of the vehicle was found just before 5.30am on Sunday and was taken to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital for treatment to facial injuries sustained during the brawl.

The 23-year-old Buderim man has been with charged with three counts of acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, going armed so as to cause fear and enter premises with intent to commit an indictable offence.

He was remanded in custody and appeared in Maroochydore Magistrates Court.

New sales records It was an action-packed weekend in Noosa as records continued to tumble at property auctions.

A world-class apartment in Hastings Street with megawatt-lustrous views over Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay, has smashed the Queensland sales record.

The uber-luxe Coco Prive residence which was marketed as ‘beyond expectations’ in Bayview Rd, Little Cove, has followed that by achieving a new sales record for Little Cove.

Tom Offermann Real Estate recorded a fiveout-of-five tumultuous auction tally for the weekend of $40,905,000 in sales.

This follows the sale earlier this month of a residential house at Little Cove for $16.4m.

Saturday was a perfect day for the private auction of four-bedroom apartment 5/81 Hastings St, in the Hastings Park complex.

Marketed by Tom Offermann and daughter Rebekah Offermann, it sold for a new record apartment price of $16,100,000.

This eclipsed the company’s previous apartment record of $14million in nearby Noosa Court, also in Hastings Street.

“But it’s not all about records,” Tom Offermann said. “It is about the deep desire people have to own premium property in prime locations such as Noosa Heads.

“Close behind the winning bidders were four others, so for us the search is on for a beautiful property to suit.”

The apartment last changed hands in 2014 for $4.50m, and since then it has undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation and large extension.

On Sunday the multi-level home Coco Prive at 1 /1-7 Bayview Rd was put to the market by Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Chris Miller.

Described as “indisputable luxury on tap,” it was the latest incomparable showpiece from the celebrated design and development team of Glen and Deborah Watson.

In control

Ecstatic: Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Chris Miller with the sellers Deborah and Glen Watson at 1 /1-7 Bayview Rd, Little Cove. 254248 Nestled in an exclusive enclave, hugged by the Noosa National Park and a few minutes from Little Cove Beach, it attracted an excited crowd of 140 and nine registered bidders.

Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald accepted the opening bid of $8m, and it was “conservative bidding” until $10m when the heat was turned up.

There were several big increases of $500,000 and above, until declared “sold” at $13.5m to Melbourne buyers.

It was a new record for Little Cove, surpassing the previous $11.2m.

NEWS

The remarkable marketing campaign included the property being the most viewed in Queensland for each week, online video views were at record levels, and national and local media complemented with consistent prominent mentions.

The sellers were overwhelmed with the attentiveness of Tom Offermann Real Estate, the endless stream of potential buyers, also the dedicated support from the team on auction day adding their expertise to accommodate multiple phone bidders and facilitate such a well-attended event.

Chris Miller is ecstatic, albeit shell-shocked.

From page 1 The new local law will require owners to appoint a manager or contact person, with the complaints hotline number and approval number to be displayed on the front of the property.

“The contact person must be available 24/7, be located within 20 kilometres of the short-stay property and respond to all complaints within 30 minutes,” the Mayor said.

The local law introduces an approval for short-stay and home-hosted properties to take effect from February 2022, which is renewed annually, plus rules around vehicle and trailer parking.

Council will establish a 24-hour complaints hotline and trial the use of a security firm to monitor problem properties.

Guests would have to comply with a code of conduct, with the property manager or contact person responsible for enforcing it.

Council will develop “a suite of educational resources to support the short-stay industry” including a Good Management Guide for both short-stay letting and home-hosted accommodation providers, as well as factsheets and information on the complaints process and hotline number, available on a dedicated webpage.

The Mayor said Council would recoup some of the administration costs, with initial costs to council in 2022 estimated at $680,000, through fees and property rates by way of a special rating category introduced this year.

Council will establish a multi interest stakeholder group and will review the local laws after 12 months and report back to council with recommendations.

Finalists are announced The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) has announced the finalists for the inaugural Noosa Biosphere Awards 2021.

The Foundation launched the new awards program in August this year as part of the 50th Anniversary of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Program, as a way to recognise environmental and sustainability excellence in the Noosa Shire.

NBRF Chair, Rex Halverson said entries were of a high calibre.

“The feedback we received from the judges was the number of high-quality entries received clearly demonstrated why the Noosa Shire is leading the way in biosphere reserve management and sustainability,” Mr Halverson said.

An independent panel of eight judges included inaugural Noosa Biosphere Ltd Chair, Michael Donovan; former Zero Emissions Noosa President, Vivien Griffin; Noosa and District Landcare’s Phil Moran, former NBRF Director, Judy Castledine; and Noosa Shire Councillors Brian Stockwell, Amelia Lorentson, Karen Finzel, and Tom Wegener.

Entrants are competing for the title of one of four category awards - Land, Water, Wildlife, and People and Economy.

The 2021 Noosa Biosphere Awards finalists are as follows: Land category finalists, sponsored by University of the Sunshine Coast: PermEco Noosa, Dangerbridge Nature Reserve, Noosa Landcare - Keeping it in Kin Kin project.

“Congratulations to all of our finalists and each of the entrants. Our community is very fortunate to have so many environmental champions among us, each of whom contribute greatly to the health, prosperity and sustainability of Noosa,” Mr Halverson said.

“The Judging Panel also made special reference to two emerging young Noosa Biosphere warriors acknowledging the entries from Spencer Hitchen and Jarrah Small.”

Winners of the 2021 Noosa Biosphere Awards will be announced at the Wild Koala Gala on Tuesday 2 November. Tickets are on sale at noosabiosphere.org.au/gala.

Setting out welcome mat Tourism Noosa’s latest co-operative marketing campaign is set to entice regional Queenslanders to visit Noosa over the oncoming months.

Following on from previous successful digital campaigns, the co-operative marketing campaign provides Tourism Noosa members the opportunity to purchase advertising spaces for a short, tactical burst of activity at heavily subsidised rates.

Tourism Noosa Head of Marketing Adam Townson said, “With border restrictions still posing issues, specific audiences will be targeted with high-value travellers continuing to be a focus for our marketing activity.”

“The campaign is designed to include members of all levels and ensure they can leverage from marketing activity running on Visit Noosa channels.

“There are digital marketing packages to suit every size business and this is the perfect opportunity to amplify offers to entice Queensland drive market visitors for lastminute stays. It’s also a chance for mem-

bers to drive any of their messages that they want more impact behind.”

Anchoring the campaign is a TVC appearing across regional TV stations in Queensland markets including Toowoomba, Wide Bay and Sunshine Coast, plus catch-up TV across channels including 7Plus, 9Now, 10Play and SBS on demand.

In addition a partnership with MustDoBrisbane.com will see a showcase of Noosa operators to their 92,000+ database.

“Our focus is as always to showcase the wide range of reasons visitors should enter the world of Noosa, reasons that appeal to different messaging pillars, sectors and target audiences,” Mr Townson said.

“The ad showcases Noosa regions and experiences from the beach to the river and hinterland, encouraging Queenslanders to “Enter the world of Noosa” and book now.”

Opportunities are for Tourism Noosa members only and are limited.

Action ‘needed now’ Noosa Shire is a “hidden victim” of the massive hit to the Australian economy resulting from the Covid pandemic, the Federal and Queensland Governments have been told.

In a submission to both governments, the Noosa Business Roundtable has revealed key sectors of the local economy have seen revenues cut in half with many businesses now facing insolvency.

The Roundtable has proposed a scheme that would pull many local businesses back from the brink of collapse.

“We need action now,” says Noosa Chamber of Commerce president and Roundtable member, Ralph Rogers.

“To be honest it’s already too late to save some businesses.

“In Noosa the response to a public health emergency has been primarily funded by the private sector, which we don’t believe is fair or just.”

The Roundtable includes 15 business leaders, Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and was established early last year as it became clear the pandemic would seriously damage local business, especially in the tourism, hospitality, arts and retail sectors.

The Roundtable worked with Noosa Council to boost Federal and State Government support which, for much of 2020, buffered Australia from economic collapse.

“Noosa was largely unaffected by the direct health impacts of Covid outbreaks but became a hidden victim,” Mr Rogers said.

“The continuing lockdowns and border closures put a stranglehold on international and interstate visitors to the region.”

In the two years to August 2021, revenues crashed by nearly half in critical sectors of the local economy.

“Hospitality dropped by 47 per cent, retail by 45 per cent, accommodation by 42 per cent

Noosa Chamber of Commerce president and Roundtable member, Ralph Rogers.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart.

and the arts sector was almost wiped out,” Mr Rogers said.

“Overall economic activity in the Shire declined by 40 per cent.

“It seems that Federal and State governments assumed economic impacts were minimal on businesses not directly affected by lockdowns and closures. But nothing could be further from the truth.”

The Roundtable has now asked the governments to address this oversight and has developed a model to compensate businesses.

“It is based on the difference in gross financial margins in 2020-21 compared with prepandemic margins. The shortfalls exposed will indicate the bridging or ‘top-up’ compensation required,” Mr Rogers said.

“The deficits will be measured according to Business Activity Statements submitted to the

Australian Taxation Office, with eligibility criteria determined by the governments.”

The Roundtable submission reveals that the removal of many government assistance programs at the end of 2020, combined with continuing lockdowns and border closures, led to a huge cash crisis in Noosa businesses which are unable to retain staff, pay for overheads or make loan repayments.

“This is reverberating through the local economy, driving it further into difficulty,” Mr Rogers said.

“Many businesses have been depleted of financial reserves and are heading towards insolvency and closure. They’re on the brink of giving up.

“It’s a disaster waiting to happen and there is a critical need for urgent intervention from the Federal and Queensland governments.”

Residents donate generously Residents of Noosa Domain Country Club held an auction of donated goods from fellow residents in conjunction with a Soup Night on Thursday 30 September to raise money for two local charities.

The Thursday Girls and Katie Rose Cottage are joint beneficiaries of Domain resident’s generosity, each sharing equally in $2300.

For The Thursday Girls charity, the amount will pay for about three student support grants. For Katie Rose Cottage, it supports hospice services.

The Domain Social Group organised the Soup Night and Auction to entertain while providing a night of much good food and camaraderie.

The auctioneer moved nearly 100 donated items, which changed ownership in aid of the two charities, in nearly three-hours of spirited bidding.

Domain Residents Committee liaison, Mary Abbey and Social Group Chair Alan Hall heralded the night as a great success filled with fun, drinks and hearty fare which primed the 70 attendees in spirited out-bidding between friends.

The auction ‘call’ for near new goods was generously supported with artworks, kitchen appliances, garden equipment, haberdashery, craft works and collectables.

Sotheby’s it was not but auctioneers Peter Sydes and Bob Eames generated lots of good humour and generosity as participants ‘kicked the can’ for two very worthwhile Noosa charities.

Phoenix, who was born with hearing loss, is now a bubbly five year old and is hearing, listening and speaking just like any other typical hearing kid her age.

Parents Lisa and Magnus Long with their children Phoenix and Xander.

Noosaville girl hears again

By Abbey Cannan Noosaville 5-year-old, Phoenix Long and her parents Lisa and Magnus are urging the Noosa community to get loud to help give babies born deaf the gift of sound.

Lisa and Magnus first knew something wasn’t right when their second born baby, Phoenix, failed her newborn screening test. After multiple tests, it was confirmed that Phoenix was born with bilateral moderate sensory neural hearing loss.

“We were really shocked because our son had no hearing problems at all,” Lisa said while holding back tears.

“Both my partner and I were crying our eyes out on the way home from the hospital because we didn’t know what the future looked like for our daughter.”

That was until the family connected with local Queensland not-for-profit Hear and Say, who provide world-class listening and spoken language therapy and auditory support such as cochlear implants and hearing aids, to help give kids like Phoenix the gift of sound.

Thanks to Hear and Say, Phoenix was fitted with hearing aids at 5 months old. Once not being able to hear soft sounds like ‘Ph,’ Lisa and Magnus were over the moon when Phoenix was finally able to say her own name.

“It was really upsetting to know we had just named our daughter a name that she wouldn’t be able to hear,” Lisa said.

“We will never forget the day when Phoenix said her name properly for the first time at her Hear and Say playgroup.”

Phoenix is now a bubbly five year old and is hearing, listening and speaking just like any

SUMMER

other typical hearing kid her age.

“Hear and Say have had a really big part of helping Phoenix become who she is today,” Lisa said.

“I don’t think she would be the resilient, confident girl that she is today without them.

“Without Hear and Say the future for Phoenix may not have been so bright, so we need the support of our community to keep this program going to help support these kids with hearing loss.”

For this year’s annual Hear and Say Loud Shirt Day fundraiser, Lisa, Magnus and Phoenix are calling on Sunshine Coasters to wear a bright shirt and donate ahead of Friday 22 October, so Hear and Say can continue to give the gift of sound to hearing-impaired Queenslanders. Hear and Say Acting CEO, Bridget Murray is excited to unite the commu-

nity for a life-changing cause.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the 15-year anniversary of Loud Shirt Day and are encouraging businesses and individuals in our community to go big and bright, so Hear and Say can continue to provide our world-leading services now and into the future,” Ms Murray said.

“As a not-for-profit, we rely on the generostity of Queenslanders to help us ensure children with hearing loss are afforded access to our world-class hearing technology and spoken language therapy.

“By ditching your daily wear for a loud shirt and raising funds, together we can can open worlds and profoundly impact the lives of those living with hearing loss in our community,” she said.

New date set for roadshow Noosa residents impacted by the housing crisis are urged to attend the upcoming Housing and Homelessness Roadshow.

“The event will connect Noosa residents who are struggling to find accommodation with a wide range of agencies that can help - all in one place,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

The event will be held on 26 October after being postponed in August due to the Covid-19 lockdown.

“With the housing issues affecting so many local residents, we’re pleased to be working with Sunshine Coast Housing and Homelessness Network, Youturn and a host of other agencies to make sure this event goes ahead in Noosa,” Cr Stewart said.

As well as link people in need with a wide range of different services, the roadshow aims to raise community awareness about homelessness.

Coast2Bay Housing Group, St Vincent de Paul Noosa, IFYS, Youturn, QSTARS (a free independent advice and referral service for all Queensland renters) Services Australia (Centrelink) and Rent Connect are among the organisations that will be represented on the day.

Council’s Community Development Officer, Kylie Finigan, said residents could also enjoy a free breakfast, get a free haircut, collect clothes and toiletries from the Vinnies pop-up shop, and participate in the “hidden voices of our town” community art project.

“We’ll be holding the roadshow in conjunction with our usual Social Services Hub at TaitDuke Community Cottage, with more giveaways and engagement activities.”

Youturn’s CEO, Dr Tanya Bell, said home-

CEO of Youturn Andrew Anderson, Councillor Frank Wilke, Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, Councillors Karen Finzel, Tom Wegener, Amelia Lorentson, Joe Jurisevic. lessness was reaching new levels, with many people who’d never before been homeless suddenly left with nowhere to go.

“Over the last year, our Sunshine CoastNoosa community has seen low rental stock, skyrocketing rents and fierce competition for housing and we are finding that many “working poor” long term local people, needing support for the first time,” she said.

“Youturn’s frontline supports are in demand to ensure young people and young families pushed to the fringes of our community can rebuild their connection.”

For those who have been affected by the housing crisis, do come along to Noosa’s Housing and Homelessness Roadshow which will be held on Tuesday 26 October, from 9.30am to 12pm at Tait-Duke Community Cottage, 14 Earl Street Tewantin.

Residents group lines up A committed group of Peregian residents gathered on Sunday to elect their next committee and vote on important matters impacting their community.

Resident’s association Peregian Family and Friends held their AGM at the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club, welcoming members from both Sunshine Coast Regional and Noosa Shire Councils.

Ninderry MP Dan Purdie and Noosa councillor Amelia Lorentson were in attendance to offer their support for the new committee and update residents about topical issues across their respective areas.

Newly elected president Leigh McCready, who founded the original Peregian Beach organisation in 2017 prior to the merger with the Peregian Springs Residents Association, said: “We are a unique association in that we cross both shire and electorate borders and represent the whole of Peregian.”

“The important thing is not the lines on a map, but where our community of interest is - we all shops at the same retailers and cafes, send our kids to the same schools and experience the same issues of congestion, parking, lack of public transport and infrastructure.”

“For example, our most popular and im-

portant project, which has been the revival of the Peregian Surf Club, affects us all alike.

Peregian Beach is the closest beach for around 15,000 people across Peregian, and the nipper program educates children from across the whole area.”

Ms McCready continued: “I would like to thank the outgoing president Kane Livingstone for three years of service.”

“During this time, we have seen the organisation grow from strength to strength and achieve some note-worthy goals, including re-establishing the Peregian Nippers program in collaboration with Noosa Heads SLSC, leading the community response following the 2019 bushfires, fundraising for the rural fire brigade and surf club and most recently contributing to the Noosa Council Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan roundtable consultation.”

“This is in addition to the everyday business of being a residents’ association - representing the community regarding upcoming developments and projects, championing infrastructure which improves our lifestyles and organising community events.”

Quiet strike for climate

By Margaret Maccoll Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd sent a letter of support, musicians performed while organisations and speakers delivered their messages on the urgent need for action on climate change but last Friday’s School Strike 4 Climate lacked the numbers and enthusiasm of previous events.

The Maroochydore event, one of dozens of SS4C actions held across the country, was organised by the Australian Conservation Foundation and Australian Parents for Climate Action with speakers including environmental economist Dr Graham Ashford and student Marlika Hoy, 14 and attended by organisations including Zero Emissions Noosa.

A letter, penned by Kevin Rudd and read

by Year 11 student Olivia Murray, from Rudd’s old school Nambour State College, described the former PM’s detection of “palpable rage” from a public whose government had failed to face the “greatest moral challenge of our time”.

The evidence is in and the scientific modelling has pointed to where we need to go, he said. “Your rage is entirely legitimate,” he said.

Mr Rudd urged attendees to keep making their voices heard.

“I may have been prime minister but each of you individually have more power to influence those adults in your life who need a gently nudge - or in the case of our politicians today, a not-so-gentle nudge,” he said.

Student Malika Hoy called on the education system to teach school children about climate change and alternate forms of energy production such as solar panels, wind turbines and green hydrogen.

“We need to learn how to make a difference,” she said.

Malika also criticised Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s reluctance to attend the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties

The excitement of the event.

(COP26) to be held in Glasgow from October 31- November 12, bringing together countries around the world with an aim to accelerate action on climate change.

“What does that really tell you about his distress and commitment to climate action?” she asked.

Dr Graham Ashford was hard hitting in

calling out government’s inaction on climate change. “The response of the Australian government to climate change is not worthy of pride,” he said.

He said for three decades governments had known and acknowledged the changes in climate resulting from increased CO2 emissions, but they had not used the past 30 years to transition to alternate forms of power from coal and gas.

“It’s a betrayal of the generosity and courage and selflessness of Australians,” he said.

“That selflessness is not what we see from government.”

Dr Ashford said other countries introduced carbon taxes on carbon emitters, forcing them to pay for their actions and encouraging them to introduce better technologies to reduce their emissions. In Australia the carbon tax is paid by everyday taxpayers and large emitters are rewarded with financial incentives to reduce emissions.

Dr Ashford said it was a falsehood that dealing with climate change would ruin the economy.

Statistics from 2000 to 2015 showed many countries around the world including Europe as well as the US and UK, had reduced their carbon emissions and increased their gross domestic profit (GDP), he said. Figures show the UK reduced emissions by 20 per cent and increased GDP by 27 per cent, the US reduced emissions by 6 per cent and increased GDP by 28 per cent, France had reduced emissions by 19 per cent and in creased GDP by 16 per cent and Ireland had reduced emissions by 16 per cent and increased GDP by 47 per cent.

“We are not like other countries,” he said.

“We are not doing everything we can to reduce emissions.”Dr Ashford encouraged people to continue taking action such as riding bicycles and planting trees but stressed that real changes required the action of government and large corporations.

Empowering them to lead On Thursday 21 October, Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart will launch WomenKind Australia Inc, a for-purpose organisation established to connect, encourage, educate and empower women to become leaders in the community.

Founded by Noosa businesswoman Josanne Falla as an evolution of networking and education group The Noosa Circle, WomenKind has formed a Board and invited Mayor Stewart to be its patron.

Ms Falla said, “We know a lot of people who have been working informally for several years supporting women and families in the Noosa community.”

“There were so many contributors, individually doing great things across the shire, that we felt it was time to come together and build something permanent on those foundations.”

“Our first project as the new organisation was the Mingle with the Mayor Ball, which raised $280,000 for counselling and support services in Noosa Shire, delivered by experienced Sunshine Coast operator SunnyKIds.” “Going forward, our goals are threefold: To raise funds for women and girls to be supported in their quest to take on leadership roles in the community To assist local charities who offer services our women need To create education opportunities for women and girls.”

“In addition to the annual Mingle with the Mayor fundraiser, we will run monthly education and connection events, provide ongoing mentoring and support for women stepping up to create positive change in the community while also ensuring that no woman is excluded

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. through lack of opportunity or financial means to realise their potential.”

Cr Stewart is patron of WomenKind.

“I’m pleased to be the patron of this unique new organisation and look forward to working with the WomenKind Board to deliver real outcomes and positive change in Noosa and the broader community.”

The WomenKind launch event will be held in Noosa on Thursday 21 October from noon at Bounce.

Business mentors welcome As Business Mentoring Noosa nears its 10year anniversary, increased demand for its services and a loss of mentors due to maternity leave, family illness and retirement has led them to call for new recruits.

Over the past decade almost 60 volunteer mentors have assisted about 400 local business owners to improve their circumstances.

The demand for BMN’s services remains high, with nearly 60 mentees being assisted presently and new enquiries coming in every week. However, due to the group’s recent depletion in numbers they are looking for more retired or semi-retired successful businesspeople to join them in helping locals to step out of their day-to-day work and take an objective look at their businesses.

The mentors are passionate about the role of small business in our local economy, and for seeing their mentees succeed. They have an open, honest, and strictly confidential approach in their interactions with mentees. BMN uses the Socratic method of open-ended questioning of the mentee until they develop the answers to their problems themselves. The mentors do not tell the mentee what to do. These techniques mixed with non-prescriptive and non-directive advice, driven by the mentor’s experience, assists the business owner to grow and to not become reliant on the mentor to solve their problems.

BMN’s president, Peter Chenoweth, who has been with the group since 2012, said: “BMN sees success for business owners take several different forms - assisting business owners to grow their turnover and profit is a good indicator of a beneficial mentoring relationship; while helping owners become more business savvy and confident in themselves as owners and managers is always highly rewarding for the mentors”.

Reviews by mentees show the value they have drawn from the relationships. Paul Sheavils, owner of Led By Design, said:

“The mentorship BMN offer is outstanding value and a must for any business owner.

The mentors’ experience and wisdom are a great opportunity to gain perspective and gauge an outside-in view on circumstances that I am often too close to”.

BMN has always enjoyed a close relationship with Noosa Shire Council, which grew even closer during the Council’s Covid-19 initiatives in 2020 that included sponsorships by Council for BMN’s annual fee of $195.

“Business Mentoring Noosa over the past decade have worked with Noosa Shire business owners offering them the extensive expertise that exists within this group,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. “There is no doubt of the benefits this group brings to the health and wealth of many of the Shire enterprises.”

Council’s CEO Brett De Chastel is also a fan.

“During my tenure as the CEO of the Noosa Shire Council, I am constantly reminded of the immense positive impact this highly experienced group of volunteers brings to the Noosa business community,” he said.

BMN is very serious about its endeavours. Bob Joubert, one of the founders back in 2011, said that the mentors meet every second Thursday morning under a wellstructured agenda to discuss mentee issues and insights and to leverage the extensive amount of experience and brainpower the collective brings.

BMN is always looking for experienced businessmen and women to join the group as active mentors. Should you be interested in participating in this very worthy and richly rewarding endeavour please contact either: Peter Chenoweth, President, at peter.chenoweth@bmn.org.au or Bob Joubert, Secretary, at bob.joubert@bmn.org.au or Joe Shlegeris, Treasurer, at joe.shlegeris@ bmn.org.au For more information on Business Mentoring Noosa go to bmn.org.au

USC to lead on koala vax While vaccination queues have become commonplace across Australia, the sight of hundreds of koalas lining up for a life-saving jab over coming months is still expected to turn some heads.

USC is leading a Phase 3 rollout of a koala chlamydia vaccine that has been developed collaboratively over many years with many partners, including the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital where the vaccine will be trialled in about 400 koalas from 15 October.

USC Professor of Microbiology Peter Timms said the vaccine could play a significant role in the longer-term survival of koalas, especially in South East Queensland and NSW where chlamydia affects 50 percent or more of the koala population.

“The vaccine has now passed Phase 1 and Phase 2 testing that has established that it is completely safe and produces a good immune response and a good level of protection,” he said.

“The vaccine has been evaluated in more than 200 koalas in eight smaller trials so far, both in captive and wild koalas entering wildlife hospitals and in koala populations in the wild.

“We are now at the exciting stage of being ready to roll out the vaccine as part of large Phase 3 trials.”

Professor Timms said as well as the initial rollout trial at Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, other trials were planned soon for Moggill Koala Rehabilitation Centre, RSPCA Wildlife Hospital and in several wild populations, including in the Moreton Bay region.

He said hundreds of koalas admitted to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital would receive the single dose vaccine via an injection after they have undergone routine hospital care and just prior to their release back into the wild.

“While this vaccination will directly benefit each of the animals, the trial will also have a focus on the protection provided by vaccination,” he said.

“All koalas will be microchipped and the hospital will record any animals that return for any reason over the following 12 months.”

Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital Wildlife Veterinarian and Coordinator of Research Dr Amber Gillett said chlamydia was one of the most significant threats to koala populations and was the most common reason for koala admissions to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital.

“It is a cruel disease that causes debilitating conjunctivitis, bladder infections and at times, infertility,” said Dr Gillett, who has been involved in the vaccine project since its beginning.

“Although many koalas with chlamydia can be treated using traditional antibiotics, some animals cannot be saved due to the severity of their infection. Having a vaccine that can help prevent both infection and the severity of the disease is a critical element in the species’ conservation management.”

USC Professor of Microbiology Peter Timms.

Queensland Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the State Government had provided close to $100,000 for USC’s vaccine development and she welcomed this milestone in helping one of Australia’s muchloved species face one of its biggest challenges.

“This type of work is exactly why the Palaszczuk Government is investing $7.5 million over the next five years across our South East Queensland wildlife hospitals - including an increased $1 million this year for the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital,” Minister Scanlon said.

“The koala is one of the great natural icons of Queensland. And to be able to make such huge strides in the vaccine rollout is testament to Queensland’s scientific excellence.”

Professor Timms said in parallel to the rollout trials, the vaccine was progressing through government registration with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, a process he described as detailed, highly regulated, long and expensive.

“We are already well advanced with this stage, including a pre-application with the APVMA, conversion of the research vaccine into a highly quality-controlled version and partnering with a vaccine manufacturer,” he said.

Project collaborators and partners have so far included three levels of government: the State governments of Queensland and NSW; the Federal Government; and the local governments of Moreton Bay, Gold Coast and Redland.

The project has also involved wildlife hospitals (Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, Moggill Koala Rehabilitation Centre and the RSPCA), field collaborators (Endeavour Veterinary Ecology), Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, CSIRO Manufacturing and QUT. And support has been received from individuals and donors (including the Sandy Michell Legacy Fund), many community and carer groups (including Friends of Koalas at Lismore, Koala Action Inc, and the Noosa Biosphere), and overseas partners (Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization in Canada).

Debating success for Good Shepherd teams

David Williamson reads from his memoir.

Home truths at launch Mayor Frank Wilkie, himself a first-rate thespian who has appeared in eight Williamson plays, gave David a rollicking introduction, concluding that “if we can’t have William Shakespeare here today, we can at least have William-son”.

The genial giant himself was in fine form as he took the room on a journey through a life well-lived, and far from over.

Both teams remained undefeated throughout the preliminary rounds, and worked with a great sense of team work and independence as they approached each of their topics.

Good Shepherds Senior Team, Chancellor’s Cup defending Champions 2021 - Katelyn Dyer, Carson Revell, Jemima Harman and Veslemoy Berge-Venter.

Mr Nick Hansen, coach for the Intermediate team, said “The team embraced the challenge and it was great to see how cohesively they worked when presented with the challenges of the topics.”

The Senior team competed without a coach this year, as they had experience from an earlier Senior A competition, which was held online.

Katelyn, Carson, Jemima, and Veslemoy won the Chancellor’s Cup trophy in 2020, so it was great to see them return to defend their title in 2021.

The Grand Final was held at Sunshine Coast Grammar School and was adjudicated by a panel of senior adjudicators who had been volunteering throughout the season.

The Intermediate topic was, “That artificial intelligence does more harm than good”, while the seniors were called to debate the very relevant topic, “That corporations are responsible for the spread of misinformation”.

Competition coordinator, Meg Dunstan, noted how professional the teams worked and how thorough they were in their arguments.

“Both debates were of an exceptional quality, and it was really pleasing to see that level of skill at a Grand Final,” she said.

12518594-AV43-21

A full house of revellers at Waterfront Restaurant last week helped Noosa-based playwright David Williamson and wife Kristin launch his memoir, Home Truths.

The book, explored in a recent two-part interview for Noosa Today, is already an Australian bestseller, as you would expect from a man who has been Australia’s favourite playwright for more than half a century. Deputy

It takes more than passion to argue a point well, it takes preparation, skill and tenacity, which are traits that describe this year’s successful debating teams from Good Shepherd.

Of the six teams competing for Good Shepherd Lutheran College, four made it through to finals and two won the grand finals for the Sunshine Coast Schools Debating Competition for 2021.

The Intermediates competed against Immanuel Lutheran College, and the Seniors competed against Sunshine Coast Grammar.

The competition, which has been running since Term 3, includes schools from right across the Sunshine Coast region and is divided into three divisions: Junior (Years 6 and 7), Intermediate (Years 8 and 9), and Senior (Years 10-12).

Mr Matt Armstrong, Head of Seniors Years Studies and debating coordinator at Good Shepherd said, “The competition is a short-preparation format, where teams receive their topics one hour before they speak, and they must work quickly as a team to develop a case line, come up with their arguments, and then present their case in a 45-minute debate.”

“Debating is a vital skill these students will need once they venture out into the business world, so it was great to see how thorough they were in their preparation and how well the teams worked together.”

Good Shepherd’s Intermediate team included Year 9 students Ella Tudor, Indigo Whyatt, Olivia Ashley, and Cate Hardinge, while the Senior team was a mixed Year 11 and 12 team with Katelyn Dyer, Carson Revell, Jemima Harman and Veslemoy Berge-Venter.

SOUTH AFRICA WITH GREGG WALLACE SBS Food, Saturday, 7pm

AUSTRALIA UNCOVERED: THE CHILDREN IN THE PICTURES SBS, Sunday, 8.30pm

Who’s Gregg Wallace, you ask? Well, if you are a MasterChef junkie far and wide, you’ll know him as a judge on its British version. Here, the foodie (pictured) sets out on a safari around Africa, experiencing its unique landscape, getting up close with its animals and, of course, its food and wine. Across six episodes, Wallace’s fervent delight in gallivanting across the country is palpable. If he isn’t grinning like a cat that got the cream, he’s swooning over food or wildlife. Wallace starts his journey on a safari through the Amakhala Game Reserve, in the Eastern Cape, finishing the day with a campfire.

Disclaimer: This is not comfortable viewing. Yet it is crucial viewing that sheds light on the dark reality of online child sexual abuse and the incredible work of Task Force Argos, an Australian police investigative team charged with rescuing children from this abhorrent industry. With interviews from top detectives such as Jon Rouse (pictured), The Children in the Pictures follows investigations to infiltrate global criminal networks. While they deal with daily observations of the very worst in human nature, it is hope that keeps them going and, in so doing, they represent the very best of humanity.

JUST BETWEEN US ABC TV, Tuesday, 9.25pm

Good stories told by good storytellers don’t need anything flashy: the tale and the telling is enough to captivate any audience. In this new series, storytellers – some you’ll recognise, others perhaps not – talk straight to camera to reveal intimate secrets and sometimes shocking truths that make up the fabric of their lives. In the first of two parts, ‘There’s Something I Want To Tell You’, we hear from Tamara who kept her famous mother secret; we learn how presenters Tracey Holmes and Stan Grant (both pictured) flipped their story; how a BDSM madame keeps secrets; and why Yumi Stynes wants to scream.

PERSON-CENTRED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS Emergency planning means vulnerable residents and those with disabilities are better looked after in the face of disaster.

Council is keen to hear from our local disability, aged care and in-home care support network to make sure their voices are heard in disaster risk management preparations.

Utilising the new Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) approach that puts people with disability and their support needs at the centre of emergency

planning, council is working to better prepare our vulnerable residents.

The first P-CEP workshop was held at Sunshine Butterflies in September with up to four more planned in November. For more information on these upcoming workshops contact council to register your interest.

A P-CEP toolkit and workbook are used as conversation guides to tailor emergency preparedness plans to individual support needs.

Lucy Mills from Sunshine Butterflies said, “Our entire facility was evacuated during the 2019 bushfires, so we know the importance of an evacuation plan for our visitors, their carers and families first-hand.”

“At Sunshine Butterflies we support people with all abilities and ages with life skills and being prepared in an emergency is another important life skill.

Having the P-CEP toolkit will be a wonderful personalised resource tailored to an individual’s needs in an evacuation and could save lives,” she added.

RESILIENCE ON JAMES’S RADAR forecasts, ensuring systems are in place, and we’re working with our LDMG emergency service agencies to ensure we are ready.”

Council is also bolstering fire mitigation across its 178 council bushland reserves with Shaun Harris on board as council’s first Fire Management Officer.

This November marks the second anniversary of the Lake Cooroibah and Noosa North Shore bushfires.

DISASTER-READY: James Ulyate and Shaun Harris (inset, front, centre with LDMG members).

Cyclones, bushfires and storms are on Disaster Management Officer James Ulyate’s radar, and as we head into summer, so is tackling complacency.

“As our population changes significantly every five to 10 years, new residents don’t always realise some of the risks we face from disasters in Noosa,” he says.

“In 1988 alone, four separate

severe weather events impacted the Sunshine Coast region.

Knowing your risk and being prepared are key to keeping your family safe.”

With above average rainfall forecast this summer, Noosa’s Local Disaster Management Group is on severe weather watch.

“We’re closely watching the

“I’ll be facilitating council staff to achieve nationally recognised fire management accreditations, allowing us to undertake prescribed burns internally, making us less reliant on contractors,” Shaun said.

“The prescribed burns help to protect the community through fuel hazard reduction, but they also increase biodiversity with the majority portion of Noosa Council reserve vegetation being adapted to fire with a number being dependant on it for regeneration. It’s exciting to be able to help make a difference.”

Prepare a household emergency plan, pack an emergency kit and check insurance.

PASSION DRIVES NOOSA’S SES UNIT Award-winning volunteers primed for summer storm season The highly skilled men and women in orange are the epitome of community spirit.

Three members recently received SES Regional Awards for their tireless work.

In times of trouble, Noosa’s 90 SES volunteers are ready to roll up their sleeves and help out.

A task can come at any time and volunteers are always needed.

Warren Kuskoph, Noosa’s proud local SES controller, leads “a cracker of a unit.”

“We have got some really good, experienced members in the four groups of Tewantin, Boreen Point, Cooroy and Pomona,” he said.

“Without these volunteers, we have no one to open the shed door and the community is left stranded,” Kuskoph said.

“As a volunteer service we have our own unique challenges, but the crew is ready to give their time and energy to help this community,” he said.

“The SES has changed its focus a little and you can now be trained in more specific roles, rather than needing to attain all the accreditation.

BE READY During a disaster it’s vital to keep-up-to-date with the latest and most accurate information.

Disaster Dashboard is your one-stop spot to stay in touch when disaster strikes.

The Dashboard includes the very latest emergency news, road conditions and closures, power outages and weather warnings.

It also has emergency contact information and a handy link to emergency services social media feeds.

Through the Dashboard, you can also register with Noosa ALERT – and get the latest news including weather warnings, emergency news and road closures sent to you directly by email or text message. Don’t wait for a disaster, sign up today disaster.noosa.qld.gov.au.

HAVE A SAY ON CLIMATE ACTION There is still time to take part in the Climate Action Roadmap Community Survey - closing October 24.

Noosa and Sunshine Coast Councils have joined forces to develop a region-wide Climate Action Roadmap.

Both councils are addressing climate change impacts locally, but climate change also has regional implications.

“This allows a new member the flexibility to be trained in land search, incident management or people welfare,” he said.

The summer storm season always has members on edge.

Su Below and Phil Pane get ready to respond.

Carbon Reduction Project Officer Annie Nolan said information collected would help shape a new toolkit to inform the community on ways to mitigate and adapt to projected climate risks in the future. Visit noosa.qld.gov.au.

Musical delight for closer Some things take more effort and time than others.

You start something, and something else unexpectedly shuts it down.

You wonder, “Why is this happening? What did I do to deserve this? And can I ever get back what I seem to have lost?”

Well, that’s pretty much how everyone in the Oriana Choir felt in March 2020, when Covid-19 brought things to a not-quite-screaming halt.

The choir had, only a few weeks earlier, started rehearsals for Come to the Woods, which was to be the Season 1 concert program.

Suddenly, ‘normality’ became an elusive concept. But optimism has always been part of Oriana’s outlook on things, so the project was not cancelled; it was rescheduled to season 3, 2021, with hope that the situation would be better.

The hope was well placed. The situation is much better. The timing was spot on.

Season 3 is ‘all systems go’ and a big part of the credit for that belongs to our seasonal music director, Paul Holley, whose energy, enthusiasm, and a remarkable ability to communicate his musical ideas and demands, have inspired Oriana’s choristers to really go the extra mile in preparing this marvellous programme of American music.

This season is Paul’s second encounter with the Oriana Choir – well, the third, if you count last year’s prematurely ended attempt.

Way back in 2009 when Oriana was still a relatively new kid-on-the-choral-block, Paul was conductor and music director for a season called Haydn Seek.

He was able to balance the demands of working with his beloved Birralee Blokes, and rehearsing and conducting Oriana, and he did a superb job.

For choristers it was a very enjoyable, and educational time.

The repertoire was an intriguing mix of music as diverse as Haydn, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Mendelssohn, Robert Burns and others.

It’s an unqualified joy to have Paul back for Come to the Woods.

His approach to teaching, rehearsing, conducting, and communicating what he wants from his singers is demanding, yet friendly and accepting.

This extract from his biographical entry on Oriana’s website sums it up: “His personal warmth and passion for choral music have inspired many singers to discover and develop their skills and achieve personal fulfilment as choral musicians.

“With over 25 years of teaching experience in secondary schools and many years of working with adult community choirs, Paul knows how to connect with singers of all ages and enjoys collaborating with them in the music making process.“ The music for Come to the Woods is a wonderful potpourri of songs from American composers covering a century of music-making.

There are show-tunes, spirituals, art songs, folk songs and more. You will find yourself running the gamut of emotions.

You wouldn’t think that such an eclectic mix would hang together as well as it does, but it does.

The centre piece is the title song of the program, Come to the Woods. A simply amazing work.

It is a choral tone-poem, telling the story of a day’s visit to the woods, running through several changes of mood and atmosphere, and it is truly wonderful to hear, and to sing. One of the most demanding pieces that Oriana has tackled in its 16-year career, it’s been a challenging but oh-so-rewarding exercise for the choir. And the choir has Paul Holley’s inspiration, encouragement and guidance to thank for what they’ve achieved.

Some things take more time and effort than others. Honestly, Come to the Woods has been worth all the time, and all the effort it has taken to bring it to fruition.

A big ‘thank you’ to Paul, for getting the choir there.

You can look forward to a very special musical experience.

Sunshine Coast Oriana Choir present Come To The Woods.

Conducted by Paul Holley, accompanied by Fay Baker.

Guest soloist Panayiota Kalatzis will perform at Caloundra and Maroochydore concerts.

Concert dates: November 14 - St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Gympie - 2:00pm November 20 - Caloundra Uniting Church 4:00pm November 21 - Stella Maris Catholic Primary School, Maroochydore - 4:00pm For bookings visit oriana.org.au

LIVE NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Sound backing from venue Something special is happening every Thursday evening from 6pm at Pier 11 in the Noosa Marina in Tewantin. Live and local artists are combining with this quality dining destination to entertain as they dine.

The gigs are the brainchild of young performer Jack Raymond and outgoing restaurateur Nicole Anderson. Jack was hunting for mid week work for local musos.

“All our work is packed into weekends, so I put the call out on social media to local musos and venues and Nicole came straight back with a positive,” he said.

Other local musicians performing on Thursdays include Alan Kelly, Patch Brown, Zac Threadgold, and Carl Lynch. Music is kept to low volumes to allow for the intimate experience to thrive and often customers are choosing to sit right up the front and can engage directly with the performer.

Jack Raymond With musicians and businesses feeling the pinch from Covid there’s never been a better time to support your local live musicians.

For bookings call Nicole on 5474 4799 or email info@pier11.com.au

LETTERS

For the record In Noosa Today (Friday 15 October), Cr Tom Wegener wrongly asserts that I “lamented” a draft local law on short term accommodation in a previous article I wrote titled ‘The STA debacle: cumbersome, costly and unfair’.

Having thus constructed his misinterpretation, Cr Wegener used it as a basis for a number of other spurious arguments with a couple of personal slurs thrown in for good measure.

Contrary to Cr Wegener’s statement, I support the local law he refers to. In fact, as a councillor I voted in favour when the first draft was put before Noosa Council in September 2019. So let me illuminate those matters on which Cr Wegener misrepresents me.

First, as my original article explained, there are deficiencies and biases in the approach of some councillors, including Cr Wegener, to short term accommodation. If these flaws make their way into the Noosa Plan they will do the Shire no favours.I also recommended a more flexible approach, such as used in Barcelona where short term letting is managed with a precinct-based, permit and quota system rather than embedding highly restrictive short term accommodation protocols in the Noosa Plan and entrenching council STA approvals in perpetuity.

Finally, I highlighted the need for a properly resourced complaints and monitoring system to protect neighbourhood amenity (I note that this is proposed in the draft local law).But there’s more than misrepresentation included in Cr Wegener’s article.

He selectively quotes what I wrote to claim to make it appear I blame loss of neighbourhood amenity on owner occupiers and permanent tenants. In fact, I included short term visitors in this description, but that did not suit Cr Wegener’s argument so he just left it out.

Cr Wegener also writes that a Council ‘Cost Benefit Assessment’ says that 19,600 residential properties will benefit from the proposed local law. In fact the Cost Benefit Analysis (correct title) refers to 10,610 residential properties.Cr Wegener also claims to be quoting ‘facts’ from the cost benefit analysis, except the following is nowhere to be found: “Without effective local laws, many of them will continue to suffer from anxiety, sleep deprivation, stress, and safety issues by the inundation of STAs”.

Cr Wegener is entitled to his own opinions but he is not entitled to invent facts and purport them to be from an authoritative source.Regardless of Cr Wegener publicly calling what I wrote “ramblings” and “hogwash”, my correction stands - I am in favour of Noosa Council having a short stay letting local law and always have been. I am also in favour of Cr Wegener checking his facts.Joy Ringrose’s letter, ‘Not enough said’, also misrepresents what I wrote, claiming I did not address housing affordability for workers or the poor behaviour of short stay visitors. In fact I did address both matters.

And I did not “state that businesses approve of STAs”. Perhaps Ms Ringrose would care to read what I actually wrote more thoroughly.As for Julia Craddock’s letter, ‘Less is more’, I simply say, ‘play the ball, not the (wo)man’.

Ingrid Jackson, Former Noosa councillor

Open letter to Cr Tom Wegener Well done with your excellent response to Ms Jackson’s STA rant. Your rational, fact based delivery succinctly demolished her ‘Hogwash’ of unsourced opinions. Noosa residents appreciate your leadership in dealing with this community destroying issue. Unlike the 86 per cent of STA owners who live outside the Shire, we have the right to vote at election time.

Thank You Tom, appreciate your strong response.

Ron Blackshaw, Noosaville

Wegener nails it In her recent article (NT 8 October) Ingrid Jackson complains about disruption to the STA industry. Unfortunately, her rationalisations fall away to nothing when you get to understand that the very fabric of our community is being sold off to the highest bidders.

Why are we hollowing out residential suburbs to placate a rapacious industry that is not in our best interests?Cr Wegener nails it when he points out (NT 15 October) the economic disadvantages for unregulated STAs in Noosa.

our visitors prime access to the river, national park and ocean? Our suburbs are precincts set aside for residents. They are places where we interact, help each other, keep an eye out for the kids on bikes, and enjoy our lives. Where are our workers going to live? Where are our volunteers going to live? Where will families find homes close to their schools? This week Council is implementing some of the toughest local laws in the the country in an attempt to balance our local planning law back in favour of residents. Without these regulations, all our lives are diminished.

Dissatisfied Lets have a look at what has happened in the last 20 months since the Covid 19 virus came to our country.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison was quick out of the blocks and made the bold decision to shut down all flights in and out of our Continet.

This decision came under attach from some who like to have a bet each way ,one day agreeing and the next pouring cold water on it .

Then the Prime Minister made what has turned out to be a disastrous decision to form the “National Cabinet” allowing the Premiers to have a seat at the table and to be involved in discussions and to come away with an informed view agreed to by all about how to handle the roadmap to handle the Pandemic.

Sadly the Premiers with their Chief Medical advisor calling the shots decided that the best way to handle the outbreak was to shut down the state, close the boarders, lock the people into their homes ,impose a curfew, restrict movement ,close down businesses that were considered to be non essential, impose mask wearing, social distancing and basically striping us of our Freedoms and basic rights .It appears now that the State Premiers guided by the Chief Medical officers have absolute control over our lives and lively hoods. Sadly the Queensland medical officer can override the TGA and make statements about which Vaccine is safe to take and openly instructed Queenslanders not to take the Astra Zeneca vaccine claiming that it was unsafe to take

scaring the hell out of people despite that it has been used in many countries throughout the world and highly recommended. Now we find that we are running last in the race to have our population reach 80%.Now we hear that our hospitals cannot handle any increase in Covid 19 patience ,and it has now after 20 months demanding that the Federal Government must give Queensland more money to fix the problem if we are to open the boarder, really.

I thought that our Premier said that Queensland hospitals were for Queenslanders and turned sick people away, but now it seems that we are demanding EXTRA money from the Federal Government to fix a major shortfall within our health department . Our hospitals have been under funded by our State government for years .Ramping at hospitals has been happening for many years ,where is the money that comes from the Federal Government year on year being spent? Well.

Drug for all It’s great news to read about the new drug Ronopreve we are getting from America to fight COVID-19.

The drug that was obviously safe enough to risk using it to save the life of Donald Trump the President of the United States.I wonder how many American lives also çould have been saved if the risk was great enough to treat a President?

On a path of destruction Truly there seems no end to the unmitigated catastrophe that is the modern human. Its an astounding feat of incomparable evil, the modern human has flipped evolution (of the mind) to become a veritable devolved swamp thing, incapable of nothing other than biosphere destruction under the auspice of the self. Speeding headlong into a world full of death and deprivation, unable to clarify its thinking beyond the pusillanimous disgrace of I me mine.

Recently some of this ilk told me “the universe does not care if we destroy Earth”. Stunned beyond words, for this was a supposedly upright citizen ... I couldn’t help but think ... Is that the meaning we wish to derive from the awe-inspiring existence of the magical universe? God help us.Speaking of God, there is no way, not in any realm of thinking other than the unashamedly psychotic, that a benevolent all-powerful creator would exist if a self-interested, capital accumulating, toad like moron was the pinnacle of its creation. No sir. Of all the hubris and ignominy that modern humans wallow in, perhaps this is the most laughable. You, a mirror of God ... Are meant to be self-interested?

Are meant to pursue your own happiness? You

On The Soapbox Eacham Curry

Tourists to make a return In the face of ongoing Covid outbreaks around the country, snap lockdowns and prolonged border closures separating thousands of families for months on end, Queenslanders have remained strong and resilient. Optimistic, in fact.

As soon as travel resumes freely, families will once again flock to the glorious Queensland sunshine. When this happens, the Sunshine Coast must be prepared to cater to an influx of travellers or risk missing out on the jobs and security that will flow from a strong tourism sector.

Short-term rentals have a key role to play in Queensland’s economic recovery. Since 2017, accommodation platforms like Stayz have actively contributed over $1.2 million GSP to the Queensland economy, supporting growing tourism demand, and creating more than 8,000 full time jobs. It is perplexing then, that Noosa Shire Council is considering misguided legislation to restrict short-term rental accommodation.

Noosa Shire Council’s proposed requirements of public liability insurance worth $20 million and property managers living within 20 kilometres from the short-term rental seem to have been plucked from thin air.

More local government red-tape on shortterm rentals is not the solution to housing affordability and accessibility issues facing regional areas like Noosa. These properties are often specifically purchased as a holiday rental and many would never cater to, or be considered “affordable”, in the long-term

rental accommodation to meet their unique travel needs as an alternative to traditional hotels. Joint family holidays, wedding accommodation, and pet-friendly access are commonly cited reasons. Local governments like Noosa Council now risk undermining next year’s economic opportunity in pursuit of legislation that will fail to address the fundamental issues of the sector.

Instead, Stayz urges Noosa Shire Council to lobby for a state-wide regulatory framework for short-term rental accommodation. Look to Tasmania as an example of the benefits that can flow from a data sharing regime which allows politicians to make informed, sensible and easily understood policy decisions about housing, amenities, infrastructure and tourism.

Our clear policy recommendations for the Queensland Government are as follows: Compulsory and simple registration for all properties listed on a short-term rental accommodation platform The creation of a mandatory short-term rental code of conduct for owners and managers - including a three strikes rule for those who do not meet the standards A largely industry-funded and administered body to remedy issues and adjudicate questions about amenity, noise and overcrowding at short-term rental accommodation properties Stayz is committed to working closely with all levels of Government and engaging in constructive dialogue.

· · Stayz corporate affairs director Eacham Curry rental market. According to Real Estate Institute of Australia, the current lack of affordable housing across the nation is due to a failure to build enough homes over the past two decades. Limited supply and high costs mean that those looking to access cheaper, entrylevel homes in the rental market are the ones

being most significantly impacted.

In effect, additional costs and barriers will only mean short-term homeowners will exit the market, without alleviating tight rental supply issues or any real impact on housing affordability.

For years, people have turned to holiday

Leading by example: More schools are racing to zero St. Therese’s Catholic College, Good Shepherd Lutheran College in Noosaville and St Andrew’s Anglican College in Peregian Springs are three more of the schools attended by Noosa students that have come on board to join the Race to Zero Program.

“As many young people are really concerned about the effects of climate change and as schools are large energy users, learning how to reduce their energy use at school is a really useful way for them to actively reducing their emissions and the effects of climate change”, said Dalia Mikail, the Zero Emissions Noosa Race to Zero Project Coordinator.

Thanks to Noosa Council funding, schools receive free installation of energy meters and access to the school’s real time energy data for use in the classroom through the Race to Zero program. St. Therese’s and St Andrew’s students join a large group of other schools in the Noosa area that are using the Solar Schools website and resources to explore real energy data as part of their maths and science curriculum. This helps them to see how they can change their behaviour, and reduce their energy use. This reduces their school’s emissions and its impact on their local environment.

Schools can also use the gamified Planet Watch APP to access their data. Each school is represented as a planet in the solar system and the health of their planet is dependent on the real time energy decisions you they make in the classroom.

If your school is yet to get on board, contact Zero Emissions Noosa Inc. and our Project Officer can show students and teachers how to use this valuable real life energy data in the classroom. The program is led by ZEN Inc., with joint funding by the Department of Education and a Noosa Council Environment Grant.

Disability charity hosts walk event This November Sunshine Butterflies disability charity will be hosting their very first ‘Walk In Wings’ event.

‘Walk in Wings’ by Sunshine Butterflies proudly brought to you by Cerge ‘Your Digital Concierge’ is an all-inclusive accessible 1.5km walk along the Noosa River which aims to celebrate all abilities in our community.

Sunshine Butterflies CEO and Founder Leanne Walsh said, “We are hugely excited to be launching this event to our community, this has been an event which we have dreamed of for many years, to see it come to life will be something truly special.”

The major sponsor for the ‘Walk in Wings’ event is local business ‘Cerge’-Your digital concierge. Cerge is a brand new assistive technology for individuals with disability that reduces the fear, anxiety and discrimination endured as customers.

“Having Cerge as the major sponsor of ‘Walk in Wings’ aligns wonderfully with this event as they are also committed to improving the lives of individuals living with disability,” Leanne said.

‘Walk in Wings’ will be an annual event that will bring the community together to create awareness and celebrate people of all abilities in our community.

“Walk In Wings’ is designed to promote whole community inclusivity and will unite businesses, community and sporting groups, schools and the general public from all walks of life,” she said.

On Friday 19 November the community will be walking in wings or wearing purple between 6am and 8:30am at Quota Park, Gympie

Songbird on stage Songbird Jem Cassar-Daley is Eumundi bound, set to take to the stage with her full band in The Bunker at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 6 November for a seated show as part of her Skyline Meets The Sea Tour.

The show will celebrate the release of her stunning new music - her recently released single ‘Letting Go’ and new single ‘Changes’, set to be released 22 October.

Still in the early days of her solo career, 20-year-old Jem is already creating the standard of art that can only see her flourish.

She’s graced the Brisbane music scene this year with her stellar vocals and truly captivating performances.

From country roots (father Troy Cassar-Daley is country music royalty), Jem has come into her own as a contemporary indie-pop artist.Her talents in guitar, piano, singing and songwriting stem from a deep passion and great music community.

She’s since been equipped with the industry skills and knowledge to go forth and follow the path set out for her.

Jem’s world-class sound is a unique combination that draws favourites like Missy Higgins, Phoebe Bridgers, Angus and Julia Stone, and Carole King. As imagined, the result is quite gorgeous.

Jem is thrilled to have Chloe Styler as her special guest. Chloe is a voice for our times. Hers is strong, powerful and committed, and like Jem, she is seemingly destined to be at the forefront of young, focused and powerful Australian artists.

TICKETS: Pre-sale $20 (+booking fee) through Oztix. No door sales. 18+ event.

Doors open at 7pm.

Floating Land: Art in nature There’s only a couple more days to visit Noosa’s Floating Land: at the edge of ideas art in nature exhibition.

Drawing on Noosa’s international reputation as a community and destination focused on caring for and engaging with the natural environment, the 16-day event features more than 30 curated projects and performances across two key sites - Boreen Point and the Park Road Boardwalk at Noosa Heads.

Noosa Regional Gallery director and Floating Land curator, Michael Brennan said Floating Land had always championed a robust environmental conscience amongst its artists and their audience. “When artworks appear within stunning natural environments like those on offer in Noosa, themes around environment and climate invariably emerge as core concerns for both individual artists and the biennale as a whole,” he said.

This year, artist Fabrizio Biviano was commissioned to create his ambitious installation, Black Swan Theory, currently on display at Lake Cootharaba, Boreen Point.

Biviano created 24 tyre swans from discarded car tyres. “It might be argued that our inaction on climate change and the human impact on the environments we rely on to survive could be captured by this idea. Embrac-

The artist is auctioning the swans through Air Auctioneer and donating the money raised to Sea Shepherd Australia to assist its work in marine conservation.

WHAT’S ON… NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

New at The Art Hub Resident artists Jacqueline Barry, Ron and Cathie Twaddle, and Carolan Ciot will be exhibiting at The Art Hub Cooroy from 22 October to 19 November.

Jacqueline Barry never had professional art tutoring or lessons, but she discovered her passion for painting less than 12 months ago after finding sketch pads, brushes and paint tubes left by her daughter.

She purchased new art supplies and started experimenting with different textures and techniques.

Jacqueline is inspired by her surroundings and the beautiful hinterland around Eumundi as well as superb beaches, lakes and rivers around the Sunshine Coast - all within easy driving distance.

This will be Jacqueline’s first exhibition.

Ron and Cathie Twaddle are wicker workers and for the last 40 years have run their business, And Woven Cane, in Brisbane, making and repairing classic cane furniture and traditional baskets and running workshops.

They closed their shop in Brisbane at the end of last year. Realising they were not going to have the workload here which they had in the city, Ron began to think about other ways to occupy himself.

So, about 18 months ago, after finding a piece of deadfall in the bush, he decided to make a basket, in which he had previously shown no interest.

Together, Ron and Cathie take pleasure in using traditional materials and methods to make contemporary baskets, experimenting with colour, texture and form - creating magnificent artistic unique wicker works of art.

Carolan Ciot began working with silver 30 years ago taking weekly classes in Wollongong NSW where she then lived.

She stopped working on her craft for a period of time when the rigors of life as a working mum took precedence.

This will be Jacqueline Barry’s first exhibition.

She has always been interested in all aspects of design and she loves and appreciates beautiful things.

She is inspired by nature, colour and texture and working with silver and stones encompasses all of this.

She really enjoys the journey that creating each piece takes her on. What starts as one idea generally develops organically into something quite different which she finds really exciting and rewarding.

Each piece that Carolan creates is unique

and is made from the nest quality silver and gemstones. Her style is bold, stylish, captivating and unique.

Visit The Art Hub Cooroy to view exceptional works of art from these accomplished artists.

Art lovers are encouraged to participate in the people’s art choice ballot to win one of the artist’s prizes. The ballot will be drawn at the end of the exhibition.

Visit The Art Hub Cooroy at 3/2 Emerald Street Cooroy. For more information call 5447 6155.

Popular: Artist wins Du Rietz award Local artist Greg Liersch recently accepted the People’s Choice Winner award for the Du Rietz Art Awards.

Greg’s fabulous award winning painting ‘Wirrimbirrum II’ is on display and available for purchase at Whitebeach Home and Livingon David Low Way in Peregian Beach Village.

After two years of extensive travel around Australia with his partner, he has now relocated to the Noosa hinterland.

Greg, who is a member of Noosa Open Studios, is now semi-retired and has had a great response to his techniques in fine art.

The artist has an extensive resume, having exhibited in many prominent galleries

Pomona gets creative Artist and musician Jon Francis’s solo exhibition has been on his bucket list for over a year now and is coming to fruition at the Pomona Railway Gallery in November.

‘Retrospection’ is a collection of work by artist and musician Jon spanning several decades from life in a city environment to the present day where he has been working from a more serene base on the Sunshine Coast.

The exhibition features some work from the mid-seventies along with more recent paintings and sculptural reflections of the Noosa Biosphere.

A Graduate of the Queensland College of Art in the mid-seventies, Jon has been living and loving the inspiration from the Noosa Hinterland for the last 26 years in Cooran, balancing his interests in music and art derived from the local environment whilst promoting the multiple uses of Bamboo.

From producing commissioned works in painting and sculpture, Jon has experimented with watercolours, oil and acrylics, as well as the odd pastel portrait.

His three-dimensional work began with woodcarving and clay and eventually led to carvings in sandstone, creating garden art for family and friends.

A recipient of the Queensland Association of Landscape Industry Awards in 1991 for The Best Landscape Feature, Jon’s focus has been centred around the beauty of our natural environment, with a view to the preservation of all life forms free from the exploits of fossil fuel extraction.

The grand opening on Saturday 6 November will feature live music from the Rimba tones performing a selection from their amazing, uplifting homegrown repertoire.

The exhibition is in the Carriage from 6 November to 1 December 2021.

In the Banana Shed, there will be the UpCycled / Recycled exhibition ‘Scrap Your Trash’.

Great prizes for each challenge. Get your entries in on Saturday/Sunday 30 to 31 October from 10am to 1pm.

‘Scrap Your Trash’ exhibition is in the Banana Shed 30 October to 17 November 2021.

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

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

Local artist Greg Liersch accepting the people’s choice award at Du Rietz exhibition 2021. throughout Australia and the USA. He also spent five years in the South Coast region of New South Wales, helping

put Milton on the map as a thriving art destination, where he successfully operated his own gallery.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

South American cheer-up Trevor Pepys reviews Eduardo’s By The River Trev had had a rough day, no two ways about it. What he really wanted to do was to push a sustainable straw down the neck of a good bottle of Pinot Gris and slurp it up while munching crisps on the sofa and mimicking Ellen Fanning’s new-found ocker turn of phrase on The Drum.

As some readers may know, in addition to his part-time, semi-professional restaurant reviewing, Trevor offers cut-rate shiatsu massage therapy – something he picked up from a comprehensive $59 on-line course – to residents at aged care facilities. Normally the old dears love it, but this time he’d pushed just that little bit too far, and as he watched the patient wheeled out in traction, he just wanted to run away and find his own form of blessed relief.

But no, it being Thursday, the missus was adamant. We always eat out on Thursday, no ifs or buts. Fortunately Trev remembered an advertisement he’d seen in this very newspaper for a place on Gympie Terrace owned by a Brazilian chef who seemed to know what he was doing, a number was dialed and owing to a cancellation we were able to snare a table immediately, running out of the house just as Ellen was getting started: “Stone the flamin’ crows, Minister, do ya take us for a pack of galahs!”

Eduardo’s By The River is a simple, tapasdriven establishment that has been keeping adversity at bay over the Covid months since they opened a year ago largely through the diversity of owner-chef Eduardo Richetta’s South American and southern European offering, which reflects his mixed heritage. Eduardo established himself as a chef in Rio before coming to Australia and working in Sydney restaurants for more than a decade before moving to Noosa last year.

Continuing his theme of Pinot Gris, Trev ordered a bottle of Farm Road 2018 ($35) and attempted to put his trials and tribulations behind him as he surveyed the brief but interesting menu. We quickly decided it would be tapas all the way. The missus insisted on the garlic mushrooms ($15) while Trev got a little more adventurous, looking to the specials board for Feijoada balls ($14) and the Ojo de Bife ($20), accompanied by a platter of spinach and Ricotta empanadas ($16).

The garlic mushrooms, in a red wine, garlic and butter sauce, were a pleasant enough starter, and the Feijoada balls, or fritters, a staple of Brazilian street food, were tasty although a little lacking in a distinctive flavour of the meat cuts used, which was, however, compensated for by a good spicy sauce. Trev had high hopes for the Ojo de Bife a la plancha steak with caramelised onions and toast, and it was very good, although the meat was a little bland for Trev’s taste, and unfortunately

Feijoda balls.

Spinach and Ricotta empanadas. he’d smeared the last of the spicy sauce on his balls, so to speak. The empanadas, which came out last when they would have been better to accompany everything else, were

Ojo de Bife. fine, just poorly timed.

The verdict: A pleasant space with a river outlook, friendly service and a menu that deserves further attention. Trev’s mood was suitably

elevated by the Eduardo’s experience, and he will try again.

Beloved wife of Ian, adored mother of Kate, devoted daughter of Beth & Jock (both deceased), loving sister of Faye, Hugh & John, precious sister-in-law of Lee, much loved aunty and dear friend to many.

Her loss leaves a gaping hole in our lives yet we will carry in our hearts forever our love for her and our memories of the warm, generous, compassionate and loving person we were privileged to know.

Due to current Covid restrictions we will celebrate Annie’s life with a memorial service in Noosa at a date to be announced.

This overwhelming outpouring of love and support from family and friends is a huge comfort at this toughest of times.

Big wins at croquet

By Colin Hindson The Inter-Club and internal competitions have finished for the year at Noosa Croquet Club.

This has been a most successful year and we are very pleased with the efforts of all players, particularly our newer members.

Of the four teams competing inter-club competition during 2021, three of the Noosa teams won their division and the other team finished second.

The year ended with the last game on 11 October, when the Pennant team, our low handicappers, came from behind with a thrilling win to take the Pennant for the year from Headland-Buderim who had been leading for most of the year. There was only one game in the entire year that made the difference, so extremely well done to our winning team of Niven Gugich (captain), Rob Moncrieff, John Dark and Ed Boyd who won the day. John Olsen and Galina Makarova played many games through the year but could not play the final one. A big plus for John Dark who played in all ten matches and had a 26/4 win-loss record.

This came one week after the Plate team, the high handicappers (our newest players) also won their Plate Division, when the Nambour team lost their last game, leaving the Noosa team as winners.

The team of Lori Ryan, Sally Walker, Suzi Locke and Teresa Martin were thrilled to win a competition in their first year of competition.

The Shield team, the middle handicappers, also did well, coming second in their division.

The Association Team, competing with Coolum as Cooloosa, also won the Lockwood Shield, the trophy for the Association Croquet competition on the Sunshine Coast. A big win for John Olsen and Galina Makarova Most of the internal Club Championships are now complete. The winners were: Association Croquet Division 3 - Brian Rudd (Div. 2 yet to complete), Ricochet Div. 2 - John Olsen, Golf

The Noosa Swimming Club entered nine swimmers in the QLD Open Water Championships held on Saturday 16th October at the Oz Ski Park in Coolum.

Over 400 competitors travelled from all over Queensland to compete in the 2.5km, 5km, 7.5km, or 10km QLD open water championships. Eight of JR’s swimmers medalled and one swimmer finished in the filthy fourth position.

Nick Sloman yet again won gold in the 10km men’s open event in an impressive time of 1:51:55.11. 17yo Finella Gibbs-Beal won gold in the 17yo women’s 10km event, Kilian Carrel won gold in the 17yo men’s 10km event, Taj Ryan won silver in the 16yo men’s 5km event, Nolan Carrel won silver in the 16yo men’s 7.5km event, Ella Reynolds won silver in the 14yo women’s 5km event, Lola Gibbs-Beal won bronze in the 15yo women’s 5km event, and Oscar Rechtin won bronze in the 14yo men’s 5km event.

All of JR’s swimmers qualified for the 2022 Australian Open Water Championships scheduled for late January in Adelaide.

The Noosa Swimming Club trains at the Noosa Aquatic Centre and caters to swimmers 7 years and older.

For more information about the club, head to noosaswimclub.swimming.org. au, or follow them on Instagram and Facebook @NoosaSwimmingClub.

The winning Association Croquet team; John Olsen and Gaina Makarova from Noosa and George Oliver from Coolum.

Croquet Div. 1 - Galina Makarova, Division 2 Ed Boyd, and Division 3 - Sally Walker.

The Club’s Annual Budget Meeting was held on Tuesday morning of 28 September and the Club is in a sound position as membership is solid. Although, we are always looking for more members.

The Club grounds are looking good as spring continues. We always welcome visitors to our grounds at 9 Seashell Place Noosa Waters, and remember, every Sunday morning is a Come and Try morning - just drop in and say hello.

Our next formal Come and Try morning is Sunday 7 November, but we are always there every Sunday morning, or whenever you just want to call n to make inquiries.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Catches on building neaps As anglers many of us watch the moon and tides as well as the weather for the best times to go. After a moon phase we see the tides drop away only to start building a week later as the next moon phase begins again. These building tides can be a big trigger for fish to feed hard making now a great time to go fishing.

Offshore, the week saw some heavy rainfalls with the swell on the bar making for a few wild crossings. The weekends forecast of light winds didn’t disappoint with anglers enjoying a lower swell on the bar. Snapper are still on the catch menu with the bigger fish sitting in the deeper waters of the Banks and the Hards. This makes owning a decent sounder/GPS a must. We have a great range of sounders in stock which suit inshore and offshore in the deep. Soft plastics work well out here, but heavier jig heads of 2 ounces + will really help get your offering down fast. Look at the Nemesis range in the larger sizes which snapper and other reef species love. Bait anglers can enjoy the run of super clean pilchards found in the freezers which work well on 4/0-5/0 gang hooks.

There are reports of Spanish mackerel about so be sure to cast a pilchard floater out.

You can set and forget one and even use a bait runner reel which is thrill to listen to when a big fish screams off with your bait. Elsewhere, the close reefs are seeing some big sweetlip, smaller reds, pearl perch, cobia and tuna.

North Reef is popular as this sits out wide enough to receive the different currents which often brings bigger fish. Out here, 50lb gear is often used making braid important to deal with the currents and deeper water. If looking for a great deeper water outfit the new Wilson Blade and Tails rods are great value and built tough. Match these with a new Penn Slammer for a hard-wearing big fish stopping combo.

Surf fishing has seen good numbers of whiting turning up with a few around the bigger 40cm size. These fish are taking live worms so be sure you grab a couple of packs on your next visit. Tailor continue to run but you will have to jump in the 4x4 and head up to Fraser Island. Locally however there are also some good dart and flathead showing up, especially around the mouth.

Inside the river a mixed bag of fish are showing up providing something for everyone. If after flathead then you will find plenty of smaller 50cm fish in the lower part around the mouth.

This is the time of year where smaller male fish will gather in search of bigger 60cm+ breeding sized female fish. Flatties will take bait and lures making them a great target for everyone.

We have small pilchards which make perfect drift baits for flathead and also a wide range of soft plastics suitable for them. Whiting and bream will be holding around the Dog Beach and of course the sand flats of the Frying Pan on the northern side of the river. As things warm up whiting will be smashing small sur-

Ultra-light rods and lines make for the best fun so check out our range of 1-3kg rods and 2kg lines. Mangrove jacks are about but still a little cagey. Daytime anglers will catch them but they can be a fish of a thousand casts at times. Fishing late at night is productive just never underestimate how heavy you need to fish for them. We have many stories of the one that got away on 50lb gear!

Away from the estuary, the everglades are a beautiful location to go and explore on kayak.

With beautiful surroundings and wildlife, you really feel like you are in another world. You can also catch wild Australian bass here which although not huge will certainly pull very hard and you along with them. Try small surface lures and suspending hardbodies like the trusty Jackall squirrel in black and gold. Once you have explored here you can take a trip to Lake MacDonald which is another beautiful area with many arms to catch big bass, yellowbelly and Saratoga. Be sure you pick up a SIPS permit online before you go and troll your lures out the back if just enjoying the exercise as bass will smash diving lures.

Race day of white elegance.

All white on race day.

Parading the races.

Great Chance of success Noosa Chances hailed as a successful its Noosa Cup Race Day run on Sunday 3 October at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club.

“It was a successful fundraiser for us and we announced our expansion across Australia, a huge milestone given we only launched in November 2019,”CEO Tara Bell said.

There was a full house of our supporters at the Champagne Garden at the SCTC donning a dress code of “White Elegance” and enjoying a talk from special guest, Sheila Laxon, first female Melbourne Cup trainer whose horse Ehereal won the 2001 Cup.

There were fashions on the field for both men and women and guests enjoyed a four course lunch prepared by chef Matt Golinski who was assisted by Chances scholarship recipient, Sunshine Beach State High School Year 12 student Amber Good.Tara said their Ultimate series of live auction items included a Ferrari experience, magnificent beach house in 1770, and Louis XIII decanter and private dining experience with more than $50,000 raised, which will go directly towards education scholarships for talented and motivated but financially challenged young people who

live in the Noosa Shire.

“We are currently supporting 39 young people, with talents ranging from traditional academia to music and design,” she said.

Noosa Chances announced the launch of its expansion across Australia - and the name to reflect this, of Chances Australia - enabled by the sponsored scholarships of businesses Travis Schultz & Partners (Sunshine Coast), Qube Holdings (Melbourne), Firetrail Investments (Sydney), Altum (Noosa), Medimobile (Sydney) and Lamming family (Noosa).

“These fabulous supporters will fully fund a truly life-changing scholarship of $1,500 per year for a student for the remainder of their high school and tertiary education,” Tara said.

“Educating kids can be both challenging and expensive, especially for those with large families or at social disadvantage,” Travis Schultz said. “The work of Chances in this space is invaluable in trying to create opportunities for kids that their parents simply don’t have the capacity to provide. If a social conscience is important to you, then this is a great cause to get behind”.

Conditions and timing are right: Let’s Tri again in Noosa From page 1 Friday 29 October will offer up a range of options starting with the Tour De Noosa Garth Prowd Ride, with cyclists taking on a leisurely 28km ride beginning at 6am and the 5km ASICS Noosa Breakfast Fun Run beginning at 7.35am, ahead of the 2XU Noosa 1000 Ocean Swim at 4.15pm.

Saturday morning will see the event’s youngest participants take to their start line, with the Noosa Superkidz Triathlon from 7.30am. Following that will be the Tingirana Noosa Special Triathlon which will see participants of all abilities take on a 100m swim, 3km ride and 500m run.

Kirra leads Surf Reserve

By Phil Jarratt The last time Noosa Today profiled local surf coach and champion longboarder Kirra Molnar, we called her “the busiest beach bum” in town.

Well, a year on, Kirra, now 28, has upped the ante on that call by taking on the presidency of the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, becoming the first female president of any of the 10 World Surfing Reserves. Kirra was elected unopposed at the recent annual general meeting of the stewardship council of the Noosa Reserve, putting her right in the firing line as the not-for-profit organisation enters the second phase of its mission to secure Noosa’s world class surfing assets for the future.

Since its dedication as a World Surfing Reserve in February 2020 – the third in Australia after Manly-Freshwater and Southern Gold Coast, and 10th in the world – the NWSR has instigated a multi-media program to promote safer and more sustainable surfing practices within the world class and very popular five point breaks and four beach breaks of the reserve, worked with local and state government to create new levels of protection for the surfing coastline, and with Noosa Surf Club and Queensland Parks and Wildlife to install lifesaving defibrillator stations throughout the reserve.

And the work is only beginning. As Kirra told Noosa Today this week: “After a year on the stewardship council learning the ropes, I’m excited to take on this new role and continue to preserve the waves, environment and culture of the NWSR. In the coming year we are looking to conclude the defibrillator program with the further installment of two more defibrillators, create a multi-media awareness program so that everyone knows where they are located, and work with Council and other surfing stakeholders to complete surf code signage within the reserve.

“I would like to see the stewardship council preserve the environment and surroundings of the NWSR into the future, to develop and implement strategies that bring surfers together and minimise conflict between different users of the reserve, so that together we can tackle the challenges that come with the inevitable growth of the surfing population.”

Like a lot of talented surfers who grow up in Noosa, Kirra was conflicted about whether to follow the longboard or shortboard path. Her dad, former Noosa hotelier Steve Molnar, got

Kirra under the lip. her out on a foamie from the age of six, and she soon graduated into shortboards. The deal was nearly sealed when the family moved to Fiji when she was 13 while Steve worked at the Sheraton Denerau. With easy access to some of the world’s best reef waves surrounding Namotu and Tavarua Islands, her surfing ability progressed quickly, especially after surfing the legendary Cloudbreak at more than twice her height before she’d turned 14.

But on their return to Noosa, Kirra found she didn’t really enjoy competing on a shortboard, while she loved the family feeling of the longboard community. She says: “It started out with just dragging the longboard out to compete with all my schoolmates in the Noosa Festival of Surfing, and kind of developed from there. But it’s only been in the past five or six years or so that longboarding took over.”

After graduating from St Andrews, Kirra took a double degree in sports and exercise science and business management at USC,

Picture: IAN BORLAND spending part of her last semester doing work experience with the Tropicsurf surf travel company, where she got to know surf legend Dean Brady and former Brisbane Lion Jarryd Bates, who were just setting up the Pro Movement training studio, where she still works parttime.

Kirra says: “I am currently still running my own Surfing Queensland coaching business and also work under contract coaching with a few school surfing programs, including St Andrews and Sunshine Beach High. I’ve recently been employed as the Noosa Heads SLSC surf coach, implementing a program for club members in preparation for State and Aussie titles.

“My degree in Sports and Exercise Science (Sports Management) led me to become a trainer at the Pro Movement studio and you’ll find me there on a Thursday night running the strength and mobility class, as well as personalised training sessions during the week.

I also work with a couple of clients and athletes from different disciplines doing online programming under my business, Your Move Space, which I developed during Covid lockdown last year.”

When Kirra was being pressed to nominate for the NWSR presidency, she stipulated that if the opportunity arose for her to compete again on the WSL longboard tour, she would have to seek leave of absence. Given the fact that this hugely talented surfer has already proven herself on the world stage, and would be a perfect travelling ambassador for the Noosa Reserve, the stewardship council had no hesitation in agreeing.

For now, however, she is focused on establishing herself as the president of the NWSR, with her first public outing in that role coming up at the 2 November Noosa Biosphere Awards, where NWSR is a finalist in the Water category. And she has a great local family support base in surfing mum Kim and her partner, surfing photographer Ian Borland.

Global CEO of World Surfing Reserves and the Save The Waves Coalition, Santa Cruzbased Nik Strong Cvetich told Noosa Today: “The founding president set an incredibly high bar at Noosa WSR, but we have all the faith in the world that Kirra Molnar will take the NWSR to the next level. Kirra has a unique set of skills and experience from her pro surfing career, leadership experience and real knowledge of the needs of the Noosa community as a longtime local. We look forward to working with her and continuing to support the Noosa Word Surfing Reserve.”

Thunders’ T20 champions.

Thunder wins T20 twice

By Randall Woodley QUOTE OF THE WEEK : “You don’t win or lose games because of the 11 selected. You win or lose games by what those 11 do - on the field.” Rahul Dravid Indian Test Cricketer.

The 2021-22 Season could not have started any better for the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder First Grade cricket team winning their first 12 matches on the trot and this included the Sunshine Coast Big Bash T20 Final against archrivals, Maroochydore Swans at Caboolture last Sunday. And to top off a great weekend for the club, each of the four Thunder senior teams won their matches.

T20 FINALS The semi-finals were played in the morning with low scores the order of the day.

Maroochydore 3 for 74 defeated Caboolture Snakes 73 and Thunder 7 for 123 had the win over Caloundra Lighthouses 52. Batting first in the morning match Thunder were looking a little shaky at 7 for 88 but a last wicket run-aball partnership of 35 by Cody Pyne and Ben Laughlin saw the boys post a competitive total to move into the final.

After lunch Maroochydore batted first and were in trouble early with TNT’s Tom Stewart taking a wicket in the first over followed by another to Jarrod Officer to have the Swans 2 for 3. They were soon 3 for 16 with a caught and bowled to Ben Laughlin. The rest of the team struggled to score runs at a good rate and after their 20 over the Swans had registered a below par score of 6 for 97. Their captain, Blaine Schloss was the standout with 54. Wickets were shared around but the Thunder knew they still had to score the runs to bring home the trophy. Chris Wright was in top form cracking 26 off 22 before he was out. Jarrod Officer contributed 30, Lewis Waugh 19 while later Andrew Kratzmann and Jacob Dennien passed the target in the 19th over. A low scoring final but a great win nevertheless to follow up on last season’s win in the same competition.

SATURDAYS MATCH. The First Graders took on the bottom of the table Coolum and registered yet another win, which, on the day turned out to be a little harder than expected.

Coolum were bowled out in the 34th over for 102. The Thunder’s bowling honours went to young quick, Tom Stewart who took 5 for 19 off

contribute were Andrew Partridge 19 and Ben Shaw 13.

Good bowling was going to be needed to stop the scoring and build the pressure. Openers Mike Thomson 4 for 12 and Luke Anstey 2 for 11 had Coolum in trouble at 6 for 23. They were eventually bowled out for 102 with Kent Officer’s experience getting him 3 late wickets. The first win this season for the team with more to come.

SIXTH GRADE The team were the fourth team to play against Coolum Sharks on Saturday and like the others came home with a win. Batting first the TNT boys put together a total of 8 for 201. Top scorer was Tony Watson 50 with David Lyons 27, Justin Talbot 24 and Shane Gesell 24 adding to the total.

TNT’s opening bowlers gave the Coolum batters no chance, bowling great line and length. Later Wayne Moore turned up the heat in a great spell to take 6 for 15 off 6 overs., The Sharks were eventually all out for 121 in the 32nd over with the last 6 wickets falling for just 16 runs.

Great first win for the season and a massive bowling and fielding improvement.

his 8 overs. Batting later TNT lost both openers at 2 for 3 and later were 3 for 44. However solid starts by Jarrod Officer 22, Lewis Waugh 25 and Andrew Kratzmann saw the team home with the loss of 5 wickets. Next week the team take on Caloundra at their ground in a 50 over match.

SECOND GRADE played Coolum at their ground and after being sent into bat, started well before losing the first wicket for 24 but consolidated to be 2-112 after 27 overs. Mark Kratzmann batted well for his 46, Adam Curry hit his first ball for four and went on to make a handy 24 with support from Cooper Lea who made a very useful 29 at the back end of the innings. Josh Peters top scored with 66. TNT finished on 4 for 188.

The tight TNT bowling strangled the Coolum batsman and after 40 overs they were 8 for 134. Top bowling figures to Jason Toohey 4 for 22 and Josh Peters 1 for 13. Good win for the team, a mixture of experience and youth FOURTH GRADE played at Coolum and decided to bat first. The team registered a competitive score of 171 with youngster Jack Saunders hitting a great 84 for the team. Others to

Making up for lost time Brian Jackson was 39 before he swung a golf club – and then only to impress a girlfriend who fancied herself as a golfer and was perhaps looking for somebody to make up a mixed foursomes pair.

“I found I could hit the ball all right,” Brian recalls. “But it went all over the place – long, but erratic.”

But he stuck at it, and things turned out well on both scores.

He eventually became a five handicapper at Noosa Golf Club, and the girlfriend, Jennifer, has been his wife for the past 30 years.

Brian was living in Warragul, outside Melbourne, when he first took up the game, but it wasn’t until he moved to Noosa 26 years ago that he joined a golf club.

He’s made up for lost time, playing most Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at Noosa – sometimes more often if his 70-year-old body can cope.

It was there last Tuesday that Brian’s game came together and he shot a pretty impressive 73 in the Tuesday Club stroke competition.

Deduct his handicap of seven and that equated to 66 – good enough for a three-stroke win in A grade.

“I really think of myself as a five-handicapper,” Brian said. “It really doesn’t seem right that I’m getting so many strokes – so I do feel a little embarrassed about the score.”

He says his handicap has crept out because of the wind, playing off tough tees and just a run of poor form – at least by his lofty standards.

But Tuesday’s round turned everything around.

His handicap is back to seven, and he’s looking forward to reducing it even further.

He’s even contemplating every veteran golfer’s dream – to shoot a round better than his age.

“In my case I might have to wait until I’m 80,” he said.

Before he moved to Noosa Brian played AFL, soccer and was a competitive fencer. Although he reached a high standard in all those sports, it wasn’t until he turned to golf that he found a sport to which he could really commit.

Today he couldn’t conceive of a life that didn’t include golf – even though his wife and former mentor no longer plays.

“I reckon playing golf a couple of days a week with good mates is about as good as it gets,” he said.

Giblett in the mix in big amateur event Noosa’s George Giblett confirmed his standing as one of the state’s very best golfers when he put together three excellent rounds to finish close behind the winner in last week’s Keperra Bowl.

Giblett, who won the Noosa club championship last month, shot 71, 70 and 70 for a 54hole total of five-under 211 – just five strokes behind the winner, Tyler Duncan of Redcliffe.

The Keperra Bowl, arguably Queensland’s most important amateur tournament, was shortened from 72 holes when Thursday’s play was abandoned after storms lashed Brisbane.

Giblett, twice a winner of the Sunshine Coast Junior Masters, was always in the top dozen on the leaderboard before finishing eighth in the elite event.

Peregian’s former outstanding junior Cassie Porter capped a remarkable comeback from serious injury to claim the women’s Keperra Bowl.

She shot rounds of 74, 68 and 67 – including a stunning eagle-birdie-birdie-par finish – to come from behind and claim a dramatic victory.

After a superb 2019 that saw her win the Northern Territory Women’s Amateur, the Jack Newton International Junior Classic and the Toyota Junior World Cup in Japan, Porter was sidelined with a back injury that kept her off the golf course for more than 18 months.

She was diagnosed with a spinal stress fracture – similar to the injury that halted Ameri-

Improve by focusing on one thought TAKE THE TIP HAMISH ROBERTSON A common problem for golfers is to turn their range form into a good ball striking day and a good score.

Golfers generally head to the range to find their games. It is important to realise this doesn’t equate to good golfing.

Go get yourself a golf lesson with a Heiniger Golf PGA professional, and take just one – maybe two -points from it.

Seeing a professional gives you the most important part of your game to work on.

Now, as you head to the range, set a goal to arrive with that same thought.

Here is the key - leave with the same swing thought!

Golf can be a pretty chaotic game.

We need a simple swing thought or approach as our mind has many more challenges on course to deal with.

If you take five swing thoughts on course you miss what the wind is doing, or whether the green is breaking left to right instead of straight.

My advice: start each round with a blank canvas and then apply that one swing thought. Give yourself a month to get better with your one swing improvement and then you might just see those little details on course that are required to play better. Don’t give up as it will take a couple of months to refine.

Good luck (or should I say good planning) and Heiniger Golf will see you on the driving range at Noosa Springs to start your month off with a plan.

Brian Jackson – good enough to win in A grade at Noosa even at 70. can star Patrick Cantlay’s career for nearly four years.

Through her long period of rehabilitation, Porter, 19, was supported by her boyfriend, himself a highly talented junior golfer, who encouraged her as she slowly recovered.

That boyfriend is Tyler Duncan – the 19-year-old who won the men’s Keperra Bowl after a three-hole playoff with Pelican Waters’ Blaike Perkins.

And Porter was in the gallery, cheering Duncan on as he collected the biggest win of his career.

“This one’s very special,” she said.

As the pair headed off to celebrate with friends, Duncan said he was delighted with Porter’s return from the depths of injury. “I’m over the moon for her,” he said.

Voice of golf is dimmed Anyone who has ever tuned in to watch the British Open or the US Masters will be familiar with the dulcet tones of Scot Renton Laidlaw, truly the doyen of international golf commentators.

Laidlaw, who was 82, died last week in Dundee, Scotland, after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

During a career which began as a copyboy

on the Edinburgh Evening News, Laidlaw covered 165 major golf championships, including 58 Opens and 42 Masters. He worked for the BBC, London’s Evening Standard, Sky TV and the Golf Channel.

Laidlaw had a close affinity with Australia, and became a much-loved figure on telecasts of our biggest golf tournaments with his beautiful speaking voice and his knowledge of the game.

Having said this, there is some information from out of left field, that not only athletes, but also those walking sight- seeing visitors, would be well advised to take on board.

Have you ever noticed the number of lifesaving stories, that are reported on our evening news: people finding others in trouble in out- of- the- way- places?

And what could be more out of the way, than on some parts of the running tracks or dunes, in our National Park.

An increasing factor in these stories is our unwanted visitor, the heart attack: with the age of the recipient not restricted. During the interviews with those involved, how many times, does the name defibrillator come into the story: If only we had one, didn’t know what to do, or where to look. And of course, the big statement, “Hell I wouldn’t know how to use one.”

A recent meeting between council, lifeguards and Noosa Heads Surf club was very fruitful. We now have five public defibs in various places: one at each of the three towers on Noosa’s Main Beach, one in the National Park Head Quarters and one in the Tea Tree Bay Toilet Block Facility. One problem that will arise, is that people will hesitate to use them: lack of knowledge-- no one close by to assist. However, we want them to understand, that these defibs, have an Automatic Prompter with the kit, to guide them through the procedure. The other very important factor is of course, to ring 000, and state the situation: position (where you are), the problem, progress (people involved) and if paramedics are required, they can be directed through to the call.

With these areas now being used more than ever by athletes, the placement of defibs on Main Beach and in National Park is a good move.

Those involved are to be applauded. It is a sad but true fact of life, that heart attacks amongst our young athletes, (apart from our everyday older citizens) seems to be on the increase: the modern defib is becoming a standard part of the first aid gear at many sporting events.

Football update Now the active part of the game is over for the season, it comes the time for planning the next season, and this of course starts at the Annual General Meeting and the importance of attending, cannot be emphasised enough. A good AGM, is essential for a good season.

To all those involved in the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club, their AGM will be held this Sunday 10am at the Pirates club house, Pirate Park Tewantin. The meeting agenda drawn up, will cover all aspects of club activities for the forth coming season, plus a summary of the season past.

For the members of the Ray White Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club, their AGM will take place on Friday evening November 19 at 5.30pm at the clubhouse, Dolphin Park, Noosa Heads. Following what has been a cracker of a season, a good attendance is hoped for.

Agenda covering the past season and plans for the season ahead will be tabled and open for discussion.

We at Noosa Today, wish both clubs a successful meeting and take the opportunity to congratulate them, not only in promoting their code, but also in the way, they involved their club in activities, with outside sporting bodies. By doing this, they are helping promote the community as a great tourist sporting resort.

As our old sport communicator Benny Pike once said, “Sport puts bums on seats.”

Boxing At the weekend, three members of the Cooroy Impact Boxing Academy, Page Robinson, Cohen Robinson and Keana Welsh, who were selected to represented South East Queensland against Northern Queensland at Mackay, were 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 22 October, 2021

Regional boxing champions Keana Welsh, Paige Robinson and Cohen Robinson with coach Mark Evans. all successful. They arrived home having won their regional championships and now these young fighters are wearing their championship belts with pride. As their proud team coach Mark Evans, also from Impact Academy said, ‘’There is nothing in this world that will get the smile off the faces of these kids.’’ The tournament was well supported by a good crowd, and the team was made feel welcome in the town.

However, what made their wins even better was the overall result: a team win for South East Queensland, 7 bouts to 5. Add to this Page Robinsons fight against Sharra Dempsey in the 63 kg division was the fight of the night, with Robinson winning on points. “This was a great result for Robinson as she has fought Dempsey three times, winning 2 of the 3,” said coach Evans.

The next tournament for our Impact team,

will be at the country centre of Middle Mount.

Situated some three hours by car west of Mackay, the purpose of trip is to help promote amateur boxing. “Since Harry Garside won the bronze medal boxing for Australia at the Tokyo Olympics,(our first in some 30 years), there has been a big upsurge in the sport: we are hoping that trips such as this will help promote the sport.” All three members of the team have had some 30-40 fights as amateurs winning state and other titles along the way.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

A third world title for Honno Blomfield.

And a third for Joel.

Not Noosa’s day at Malibu You know what they say: it’s a funny old game, surfing.

Right about the time last week when we’d expected to be uncorking a decent bottle of bubbles, Patrick Roach and your columnist were instead crying into our second – or was it our third? – beer, lamenting lost opportunity and the fickle hand of fate.

Both of us had been up since the wee hours, watching Patrick’s son, Harrison, known far and wide across Noosa Shire as the greatest traditional longboarder in the world today, bar none, do battle for his maiden World Surf League world title. It had been 15 years since Noosa last claimed a world surfing title when Josh Constable took out the 2006 ASP Tour, but today was to be our day.

We’ll get to what actually happened in a minute, but first a bit of background. Pat Roach and I have been friends for many years, and in my years directing the Noosa Festival of Surfing, I watched young Harrison develop into a very stylish longboarder and a savvy competitor. On the other side of the headland he was also developing into a ferocious shortboard talent, but that was not what I was watching.

Quite early in the piece, Harrison had the talent to make a charge up the longboard world tour rankings, but a funny thing happened on the way to the podium. He looked at what the other surfers were doing to score points from the judges – basically shortboard maneuvers performed on a longboard – and turned his back on the whole deal. He was by no means the only longboard stylist to reject the system, and most of them found their way onto two-times longboard world champ Joel Tudor’s rebel Duct Tape Tour. When we hosted the Duct Tape in Noosa in 2013 and 2015, it became apparent that Harrison was right up there with the best stylists in the world, Tudor included. It was only a matter of time before the new governing body at World Surf League realized what was going on and took world championship longboarding back to the future.

Cut to February 2020, and the first event of the new-look WSL Longboard Tour at Noosa.

Harrison is on fire, his only threat, Tudor, 15 years his senior. But Harry gets a dodgy interference call against Californian Kevy Skvarna, and is relegated to seventh place while Tudor goes on and wins it. Then Covid wipes out the rest of the 2020 tour and, as the WSL frantically tries to resurrect the tour with two Californian events towards the end of this year, they also call in the Noosa points from the previous year.

Joel Tudor goes into the California end game with the number one ranking.

At the Surf Ranch Classic Harrison looked completely at home on the man-made wave, while Tudor seemed to struggle and finished down the list. But in a disappointing final for Harrison, France’s Edouard Delpero found another gear. Nevertheless, going into the final event, the Jeep Classic at Malibu, Roach looked to be a world champion waiting to be crowned,

Harrison Roach at Malibu.

Harrison styling at Malibu. and so it appeared to be shaping as he racked up two near-perfect scores in one heat. And then along came Skindog.

There’s a back-story here too. I’ll be brief.

Back around the turn of the century, during my five-year stint in France, I spent a lot of time in Cornwall, where our Quiksilver crew would camp at the old seaside Vic Hotel in Newquay and get into trouble across the street at Steve Skinner’s brand new ale house, where the beer was good and the hospitality of host Steve was legendary. It was there that we got to meet the regular glassie, Steve’s affable just-teenage son Ben, who was pretty handy on a shortboard but had just turned his attention to longboarding.

Within a handful of years Ben “Skindog” Skinner was a fixture on the world tour and his eponymous surfboard brand was one of Europe’s best. He won plenty of UK and Euro

Pictures: WSL

Early flair. Harrison at the Noosa Festival of Surfing, 2009. titles but the world stage, although tantalizingly close at times, remained a bridge too far.

Until Malibu last week.

So, on day one, Delpero falls to the Brazilians in the losers’ round, seemingly clearing the way for Harrison. With cleaner south swell lines on day two, Harrison motors past Jefson Silva and exacts Noosa revenge on Kevy Skvarna. Now all he has to do is take out Skindog in the semi and the world title is his.

Skindog lines one up perfectly in the opening minutes and scores a high 7. Harry’s on the back foot and the ocean goes very, very quiet.

Without priority, Skindog finds another good one and improves on his previous. Now Harry is almost combo’d, with a lot of work to do in the final minutes. It never happens. He’s out of the comp but still in the world title race, if East Coaster Tony Silvagni can dispatch Joel Tudor.

Silvagni to beat Tudor at Malibu! Ain’t gonna happen.

But Tony starts positively while Joel is wavestarved. And then the old stager pulls out the drop-knee magic and glides to victory, making it look so easy. On his way up the beach, the oldest ever surfing world champion quips to an interviewer: “At last I found something I could beat Kelly Slater at!”

Tudor went on to win the event from Skindog, while in the women’s, Hawaii’s Honolua Blomfeld clinched her third world title, equalling Joel’s tally, at just half his age.

It didn’t go Noosa’s way, but Harrison Roach is number two in the rankings, and as his two biggest fans in this town blubbered into their final beers, let’s hope he decides to give the tour another bash in ’22.

A GOLDEN RUN OF RECORD SALES PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY FORGET waiting for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games, Noosa has been experiencing its own golden wave with record prices being achieved for both residential and apartments in consecutive weeks.

It was a tumultuous auction weekend, as Tom Offermann Real Estate’s tumultuous five-out-of-five auction tally was $40,905.000 in sales.

A world-class apartment in Hastings Street with megawatt-lustrous views over Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay, has smashed the Queensland sales record; the uber-luxe Coco Prive residence which was marketed as ‘beyond expectations’ in Bayview Rd, Little Cove, has achieved a new sales record for Little Cove.

It was a perfect day for the private auction of four-bedroom apartment 5/81 Hastings St, in the Hastings Park complex, Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 7 Bowsprit Pl, Sunrise Beach, goes to auction Saturday, October 23, at 2pm. 254248 marketed by Tom Offermann and daughter Rebekah Offermann.

It sold for a new record apartment price of $16,100,000, eclipsing the company’s previous apartment record of $14million in nearby Noosa Court, also in Hastings Street.

“But it’s not all about records,” Tom Offermann said.

“It is about the deep desire people have to own premium property in prime locations such as Noosa Heads.

“Close behind the winning bidders were four others, so for us to search is on for a beautiful property to suit.”

Tom was tight-lipped as always about the buyers.

“I can understand everyone’s curiosity of finding out who can afford to buy a holiday apartment for this much money.

“A lot of clients like to stay under the radar, and that’s an obligation on all of our team to respect.”

The apartment last changed hands in 2014 for $4.50m, and since then it has undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation and large extension.

“Never-the-less,” Rebekah Offermann said, “it is a very healthy capital

appreciation which has been experienced in many locations, with the Noosa Shire maintaining the Queensland record for 40plus years.”

THE CHARM OF LITTLE COVE On Sunday Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate took Coco Prive to the market at 1pm.

Described as “indisputable luxury on tap,” it was the latest incomparable showpiece from the celebrated design and development team of Glen and Deborah Watson.

Nestled in an exclusive enclave, hugged by the Noosa National Park, and a few minutes from Little Cove Beach, 1 /1-7 Bayview Rd, attracted an excited crowd of 140 and nine registered bidders.

Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald accepted the opening bid of $8m, and it was “conservative bidding” until $10m when the heat was turned up with several big increases of $500,000 and above, until declared “sold” at $13.5m to Melbourne buyers. It was a new record for Little Cove, surpassing the previous $11.2m.

SATURDAY AUCTION ACTION On Saturday, pre-campaign interest for

A free-standing two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment in a complex of six 4/21 Ann St, Noosaville, is set for auction at 1pm on Saturday, October 23. 254248 the two-bedroom apartment at 21 Allambi Rise, Noosa Heads, listed by Offermann’s Luke Chen and Nic Hunter-listed came predominantly from Victorians.

Yet it was a Brisbane couple who loved the 1960’s aesthetic and access to the beach. It sold under the hammer for $2.295m.

Rebekah Offermann and Nic Hunter were again front and centre, this time for their colisting of a five-bedroom beachside hideaway only two minutes to the sand at 4 Surfside Ct, Sunshine Beach. Four registered bidders had the attention of auctioneer Gordon Macdonald until the hammer went down to the lucky last bid of $6m.

Saturday concluded on a high with the auction of the Peter TeWhata’s listing of a magnificent 10.67-hectare estate, 20-minutes to Noosa Main Beach at 161 Dath Henderson Rd, Tinbeerwah.

Twelve registered bidders had their eye on the prize, three parties hotly contested it, and after an opening bid of $2.5m, the hammer fell at $3.010m.

The interstate purchasers were elated, similarly the sellers. It sold previously for $1.4m, 12 months ago.

REASON TO CELEBRATE It was a weekend to celebrate at Richardson & Wrench Noosa with all four properties set for auction either selling on the day or prior.

The five-bedroom, four-bathroom waterfront house with pool and jetty at 103 Noosa Pde, Noosa Sound, sold prior with Gillian McCauley and Kym de Warren to Melbourne buyers.

It followed more than 150 inquiries from Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, New Zealand and further.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 311 Sebel Noosa, 32 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, sold prior to Friday’s auction with Frank Milat and Shane McCauley for more than $1.7m.

On Saturday, the one-bedroom, onebathroom apartment 330 French Quarter, 62 Hastings St, sold for a record price in the beachside complex, Shane said.

Meanwhile the six-bedroom, threebathroom, four-car house with pool at 1 Ely St, Noosaville, sold prior to auction to a couple relocating to Noosa from the US. It was a large family home with a second dwelling - an old post office that has been beautifully renovated with timber floor boards and can be utilised as a street-front business or granny flat.

OPPORTUNITY COMES KNOCKING The difference in property values will be on show at Noosaville on Saturday.

Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate is taking a free-standing two-bedroom, onebathroom, one-car apartment in a complex of six at 4/21 Ann St to auction at 1pm on the day.

Built in the late 1980s after a local businessman saw the potential to develop something comfortable for retirees, the single-level apartments are of brick and tile construction with high cathedral ceilings and galley-style kitchen.

“Loronda is in an excellent location,’’ Warren said, “just minutes walk to supermarkets, cafes and the river.

“It’s a good little property … we had 30 groups through at the open house and private inspections during the week.

“Each of the apartments have lock-up garages and their own private courtyards.

“People like the fact there are no stairs, you can walk to the river, and low body corporate fees.

A five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 9 Little Cove Rd, Noosa Heads, goes to auction, Saturday, October 23, at midday. 254248 “They are ready to be freshened up - it’s an opportunity for someone wanting single level, comfort without high overheads.’’

HINTERLAND MAGNIFICENCE The magnificent Queensland-style homestead on 2.5acres at 26 Capricorn Ct, Eumundi, sold within a week of listing.

Alisa Wythes of Wythes Real Estate said southerns buyers were successful after multi offers were put forward.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with six-car garaging enjoyed amazing mountain views.

It featured wrap-around verandas, airconditioned living, guest suite and solarheated pool.

The buyers loved the proximity to Noosa Heads as well as being just minutes to Eumundi, Alisa said.

“It really was the best of both worlds with Noosa’s famous beaches moments away yet coming home to a country retreat.’’

Alisa now has 11 new townhouses in Cooroy coming to the market.

“Belvedere on Pearl will be an absolute benchmark for Cooroy,’’ she said.

“They will offer a lifestyle of contemporary luxury amid a charming countryside setting.’’

Zest Building Design have come up with superbly designed floor plans for the ultimate indoor to outdoor living. They will be priced at offers from $649,000.

“With two and three bedroom options available, the Belvedere on Pearl has something to offer everyone,’’ Alisa said.

FUNCTIONALITY AND LIFESTYLE It’s looking like it will be a cracker, Hinternoosa’s Drew Fenton said about the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on

19.43ha at 501 Black Mountain Rd, Black Mountain, he is taking to auction Friday, October 22, at midday.

With a studio, solar-heated pool and sheds, the property is attracting interest locally, throughout Queensland and from interstate.

“There has been very good level of interest,’’ Drew said, “especially the fact that 50 acres is very hard to come by.

“Yet it’s not just about having usable land for cattle and horses, the property has massive infrastructure with rainwater tanks, solar hot water, solar energy and solarheated pool.

“There is a spacious central entertaining area and separate guest accommodation.’’

Local interest has been from coastal areas but there has been a big push recently from those in Brisbane or Toowoomba moving early on their five-year plan towards retirement.

“They are realising they can work from home and bringing retirement forward,’’ Drew said. “They are finding Black Mountain is a combination of functionality and lifestyle.’’

The property has an easterly aspect towards Cooroy.

The multiple decks and verandas on the house mean you can catch the breezes, the sun or hide from the weather.

HOME FOCUS

QUINTESSENTIAL EASY-BREEZY HOME SURROUNDED by the immense natural assets of Noosa National Park and five kilometres of dazzling white sand between Sunrise and Peregian, is Marcus Beach.

It has long been known as an exclusive hidden utopia by the locals, and always much sought-after by those looking for the quintessential easy-breezy beach house close to the surf, naturally boasting ocean views.

An exemplary home, where summery vibes linger year-round, and easy-going days are always high on the agenda, is strategically elevated with a north-east Coral Sea aspect and a strong relationship to its lush, verdant landscaping.

It offers beautiful light-filled open plan living spaces, wispy curtains catching summer breezes, and honey-hued timber floors which connect in an almost seamless fashion, to a long wide verandah with cool-white plantation shutters.

The high-ceilinged spaces are warm and timeless yet balance intimacy, as well as adequacy for comfortable congregation in the dining area, also around the charcoaltoned granite kitchen benches. And for those with a penchant for entertaining,

every necessary accoutrement is at the cook’s fingertips.

In the south wing, the carpeted king master bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite with tumbled marble feature tiles; in the north wing are two queen-size

bedrooms; one accesses the verandah; both have built-in robes and share a marble-tiled bathroom with a spa bath. A separate toilet, also linen cupboards and a laundry chute are in the adjacent hallway.

Downstairs, a laundry with a toilet,

also accesses the rear garden and drying area, plus there is a bedroom with built-in robe, currently used as an artist’s studio/ office. It has a separate entrance via a paved undercover side terrace, fringed with one of many extensive gardens filled with native palms, bromeliads, orchids, and birdattracting shrubs, all forming part of the home’s wildlife habitat.

Sandstone steps lead to the pool. Rock features complement the landscape and surrounds continuing the ongoing theme of interesting easy-care ’secret’ gardens.

“Imagine being a three-minute walk to dog-friendly Marcus Beach, and five minutes to the start of a Noosa National Park walking trail?” say Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Eliza Coppin and Peter TeWhata, who are taking the property to auction on Saturday 6 November 2021, adding, “also living in a quiet neighbourhood, yet not far to Peregian Beach village.

“Those interested in a project will see the potential for additional living spaces downstairs, which is currently taken up by two sets of tandem parking for two cars.” ●

ON THE COVER

PRIVATE RESIDENCE WITH ESTABLISHED SUB-TROPICAL GARDENS WHEN it comes to wonderful surprises, perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, minutes to glistening white sand, is a substantial residence with the feel of a beach house, awash with oceaninspired hues and sparkling sea views.

Fragrant Murraya hedges fringe the pathway leading to a peaceful Zen garden with a goldfish-filled water feature and nearby fire pit. Inviting wide sandstone steps lead to the verandah and a statement glass and timber paneled door opens to reveal an architect designed and beautifully finished residence which exudes elegant style and functionality.

Upstairs, one’s eyes are immediately drawn to natural light drenching the impressive white-washed timber flooring, and muted tones of neutral and blue, complementing the casual and sophisticated aesthetic in the generous open-plan living and dining area. They seamlessly connect to a wrap-around timber deck providing many options for entertaining. Look further and be dazzled by captivating sea views, the private garden and the sparkling pool below.

A north facing, secluded garden terrace is inspired by a green wall suggesting morning coffee or firing up the barbeque for lunch. The contemporary kitchen has all the latest Miele appliances to suit anyone’s serious passion for cooking.

The indigo king master suite with ocean views and access to the deck has a walk-in robe and a white limestone-tiled ensuite.

Two additional bedrooms are on this level, both with built-in robes, and a shared bathroom.

The entry level is lavishly designed for guests and extended family. There are two generous bedrooms with walk-in robes; both share a bathroom with a relax-andsoak bathtub and laundry facilities. The living area and one bedroom have direct access to the verandah and pool.

And there’s more. The large two car garage with new epoxy flooring is accessible from the downstairs living area and leads to yet another room with a

separate entrance suitable for an office, gym, or yoga space.

“This residence keeps on giving,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 23 October 2021. “Whether keen entertainers, beach lovers, surfers, walkers, cyclists, family or business focused, the numerous living areas, both indoors and out, facilitate a multiplicity of ideas, including of course, relaxation.

“The cul-de-sac location, so close to Sunrise Beach in the Noosa Shire, with plentiful natural assets plus an idyllic sub-tropical climate, has proved to be outstanding in popularity, and demand is not going to stop.”

HEAVEN WITH A LIVEABLE CABIN IT seems small acreage in Noosa is very much a covid inspired desire these days. If it is yours, welcome to 34 Marnie Crescent which is not your usual square of land. This land has character!

From the long concrete driveway which passes over a large lily pad dam and finally to the perimeter of the land where the entry is planted with 10 tall leopard trees, bamboo, palms and plants galore, you will be struck by the calmness around you.

The first and only thing you will hear is birds, who make a home in the protected vegetation patch at the rear of the property – along with pademelons, kangaroos, koalas, pretty face wallabies, turtles, possums and bandicoots. A small dam here is an attraction to all of them. Whip birds, kookaburras, blue kingfishers and catcalling birds provide the sound effects on this unique patch.

The liveable cabin contains a dishwasher, tv, airconditioner, cooking facilities and a shower and toilet. There’s even a wood burning stove for chilly nights.

Perfect for glamping while you build on the flat grassed north facing homesite alongside it. There is a concept drawing for a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home in front of the cabin and this is available to the

buyer, if required. This grassy home site overlooks a view that is the jewel in the crown. A superb flat grassy area flanked by a meandering creek boasts a little grove of tall silver birch trees planted many years ago, a liquidambar and a Japanese maple

– all of which are deciduous. These superb trees are not often found in Noosa as it is usually too hot for them but here they thrive due to careful nurturing. A small hill behind the stream runs silver through its tropical vegetation in heavy rain and tops up the

beautiful stream well below the home site.

Along the southern boundary of the land you will find enormous fig trees with their identifying buttresses, and huge palms.

The vegetation on the north side is mainly soaring trees which form a beautiful amphitheatre behind the stream. The impressive list of fruit bearing trees on the south side of the property include mango, Tahitian lime, mandarins, star fruit, mulberries and olives. Closer to the stream are lady finger bananas, jackfruit, bush lemon and coffee bushes. You will also find frangipanis, agaves and pandanus trees.

Extensive irrigation is installed, along with 3 phase power.

There are 3 small storage sheds on the site apart from the liveable cabin.

Cappucino is available from Cafe Doonan, 3 minutes away and alongside the Fruit Barn which sells all manner of goods. Noosa Civic shopping mall is a 7 minute drive, while Main Beach and Hastings St is a 15 minute drive from the land. Eumundi and Coolum are also within a 10 minute drive. Being in the golden triangle of Noosa, Eumundi and Cooroy, this land is surrounded by sought after homes. Schools are close by and the airport is a 25 minute drive. ●

PERFECT SEACHANGE TUCKED away in a whisper-quiet, leafy residential street in central Sunshine Beach, away from the hustle and bustle of holiday apartments, yet only a three minute walk to the village and 650m to the surf club, is this charming apartment, circa 1980s.

The apartment comprises two bedrooms - one with study nook, open plan living, pleasant kitchen with cute archway, bathroom/laundry combo, and east-facing balcony with ocean glimpse through the leafy treetops - a first floor apartment, its elevation enhances outlook and breezes.

Light, bright, and white throughout and immaculately presented - there is no immediate money needing to be spent, features include ceiling fans, easy care tiled flooring throughout, and single carport with lock-up storage. It has a wonderful ‘chilled’ vibe ‘as is’ and there is potential to infuse with your own creativity and style to suit your own personal taste, if desired, it is like the most delightful blank canvas!

With only four in this established complex

and no on-site amenities, body corporate fees are very low, and it is pet-friendly (subject to approval); the maintenance is minimal, this is an easy-care cost-effective property - it is also set back at the rear of the block to maximise privacy.

From here you can walk to the Duke Street dining hub, local parks, the surf club, patrolled swimming, dog beach, and national park ... it is central to everything. Noosa Junction is less than five minutes’ drive (or a 20-25 minute walk) with its commercial/ retail and boutique dining, and Hastings Street is just a seven-minute drive.

This would make a fabulous coastal weekender for a city or country dweller, or

a desirable sea-change priced sub-onemillion in this multi-million dollar suburb, now amongst Queenslander’s strongest performers in terms of demand and capital growth. With very few properties available at Sunshine in this price range - time is of the essence!

Featuring: 2 bedrooms, bathroom/laundry
