The world-renowned Garmin Noosa Triathlon returns this week for its 39th year, bringing an action-packed schedule of events to Noosa. International athletes will be back racing at the event for the first time since 2019, with the Garmin Noosa Triathlon taking place between Wednesday 26 October and Sunday 30 October, with Australia’s top triathletes along with age-group athletes set to take part. Premier and Olympics Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk said the world-class event would bring a boost of $22 million to the local economy. “The Noosa Triathlon is a pinnacle sporting event, ranked in the top 10 triathlons in the world and a favourite on the It’s Live in Queensland calendar,” the Premier said. “The event brings tens of thousands of people to the region each year, supporting nearly one million direct visitor nights and providing a valuable boost to local businesses. “In the golden runway to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Queensland is forging ahead in cementing the state as the top destination to host world-class events. I encourage athletes, their friends and family and spectators to extend their stay and experience the beautiful Noosa region and all it has to offer.” IRONMAN Group Oceania managing director Geoff Meyer said the team was looking forward to welcoming athletes back to the popular event.

All go for oysters By Margie Maccoll

The Nature Conservancy (THC) has delivered its final report to Noosa Council marking the end of its alliance and funding agreement for the $3.6 million Oyster Restoration project, but council halted the sign off on Monday in order to tally up late-received 2021 consultancy invoices. “The project has been delivered. All milestones in the agreement have been met,“ council officers reported at Monday’s general committee meeting. Officers said the “very comprehensive final report“ provided an excellent level of detail

and overview of all the project-related activities undertaken throughout the life of the project for the Noosa River. “It demonstrates substantial community and volunteer involvement throughout all phases of the project culminating in the celebration of the project construction phase in September,“ officers said. At the September end-of-project celebration, Kabi Kabi elder Uncle Fred Palin expressed the significance of the project when he said the restoration of the shellfish reefs represented a “significant reconciliation step to renew the cultural links of the Kabi Kabi to their sea country“.

TNC described the primary goal of the project as the restoration of functionally extinct oyster-dominated ecosystems (beds and reefs), in the Noosa River estuary. The alliance and funding agreement between TNC and Noosa Council was entered into in July 2019 with each contributing $1.2million. In May 2021, TNC obtained an additional $1.2 million for the project from the $20 million TNC Australia-Australian Government Reef Builder Project. Since March 2022 TNC has secured state and local government permits to restore fish habitat, construct the reefs and collect, spawn and translocate live oysters.

They have entered into and completed contracts with M&J Marine Services (reef construction), Ecological Service Professionals (reef baseline monitoring), International Coastal Management (reef construction oversight) and Bribie Island Research Centre (DAF) (oyster reef seeding) to deliver the oyster reefs. The project has constructed 30 reefs across four restoration sites (Tewantin, Goat Island, Noosa Sound East, Noosa Sound West), establishing oyster reef patches along 497m of Noosa River shoreline and a footprint area of 2268sqm with navigation markers installed at each site.

Knuckling down to succeed In 1986 when young Tom Offermann started his real estate career in Hastings Street, he learnt there were no shortcuts or silver bullets to success. Knuckling down, looking after people and doing the hard yards every day was the only way forward. There were 13 agencies in the same street selling the same properties, no exclusive listings, computers, faxes or mobile phones, instead handwriting letters which the receptionist typed, using lots of white out. Photos took a week to process at the photo lab, before posting to interstate buyers. “Like taxis, we cleaned our cars every morning and would drive buyers around to listings sometimes for days,” recalled Tom adding, “at the end of which they would come to the office, if you were lucky, with a bottle of wine, saying, ‘Tom, you’ve been great, we might leave it this time until next year, and see you again’. “My first sale was a three-bedroom unit in the Leilani complex on Weyba Road for $31,200, and man, was I excited.” In 1992 Tom Offermann decided to open his own agency on Noosa Parade in Quamby Place. “I was now weaponised with a hand-held mobile phone with a pull-up aerial,’’ he said, “but I used it as little as possible because it cost 65 cents per minute, texts were 40 cents. “Driving back to the office and returning any missed call was the only option. “A competitor said I would never make it outside of Hastings Street and be broke in a year. Fortunately, I love a challenge, so he did me a favour. “The office fit-out was very different. It looked more like a rainforest, with dark green walls and carpet.

Digital Hub strengthen ties with Atlassian tech giant The Sunshine Coast’s emerging tech talent is attracting interest from Australian tech giant Atlassian. Atlassian, a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, will host a recruitment drive at Noosa Council’s Peregian Digital Hub on Thursday 27 October – as it visits the Sunshine Coast on a tour of nine talent hotspots around the country. Hub director Chris Boden said it was exciting for the local digital ecosystem to know that Atlassian is recruiting in the region. “To be able to work for a world class tech company like Atlassian while living in a world renowned lifestyle destination really is an incredible opportunity,” he said. Mr Boden said Atlassian’s innovative recruitment approach taps into a large talent pool of people living outside major cities. “Atlassian recruiters will discuss new flexible working opportunities as part of its Team Anywhere work policy,” he said.

Atlassian and the Peregian Digital Hub are inviting the Sunshine Coast’s tech talent to visit the AtlassiVan, a pop-up recruitment office, onsite from 10am to 4pm on Thursday 27 October to enjoy a sausage sizzle and find out more about the exciting roles available at the company and in the broader tech sector,” he said. Atlassian co-founder Scott Farquhar said the company was seeking to hire over 1000 new R and D professionals in the next 12 months. “We know great talent exists across all seven million square metres of Australia. From Maroochydore, Mapleton or even a motorhome, you can be part of our team from anywhere.” Mr Farquhar said. Atlassian is hiring across a range of specialisms from full-stack engineers, backend infrastructure engineers and specialised areas like security.’ Mr Boden encouraged those living on the Coast to make the most of Thursday’s visit.

The AtlassiVan will be at the Digital Hub on Thursday.

The Russians are coming! By Phil Jarratt E-biking along a bush track in the far-flung parts of our shire a few weeks back, I noticed on the other side of a barbed wire fence a heavily bolted doorway embedded in a large mound of dirt. I stopped to examine it at closer range, but there being no easy way to get over the fence, and with the idea lurking somewhere in the back of my mind that it might be a meth lab being guarded by machine-gun wielding crims, I observed from the fence-line. It provoked a vague memory from my childhood, but I couldn’t quite put it together. And then it dawned on me. The shape of the mound and the heavy door took me back to the building of the Berlin Wall and the Cuban Missile Crisis, during which momentous events in Cold War history I was 10 and 11. It was the shape of a backyard nuclear fallout shelter. Were they back in vogue? Certainly Putin and the other schoolyard bullies of geopolitics have put the N-word back in our vocabulary, and not as a somewhat dubious source of alternative power. Of course, we’ve been laughing off the corpulent Korean’s big bang threats for years, but this is potentially more serious as we enter into the most turbulent era since the 1960s. This is not just the world view from Noosa, and in fact I remain optimistic that what used to be known as mutually assured destruction (MAD, appropriately) will trump (no pun intended) the crazed idea that political immortality can be achieved by destroying the planet. But I do read the pundits of the loony left and ridiculous right from time to time, and then I refer to the almost daily missives that arrive at the Noosa Today news desk from our honorary global affairs editor, a prolific Indian gentleman named Kushal Kumar. Of course these are not quite exclusive to us, since Mr Kumar also sends them out to about five million other news sources around the world, and like us, none of them publish him because what he writes may have something to do with Vedic astrology, whatever that is. Just last week Kumar informed us: “Media news reports suggest that threat of World War 3 appears to be shaping up fast to grow real in the month of October 2022.” He went on to quote Presidents Biden and Trump as saying that the nuclear threat was greater than at any time in 60 years. Which gets us back to the hysteria of the school drills – “get under the desk and assume the brace position” – and those funny little steel-walled cubby houses of the middle of last century. Fear of nuclear annihilation was a reality from the start of the post-war era, with memories of the mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but people who actually built backyard shelters were often ridiculed. My own fear of being nuked began in 1961 when, fresh from banging his shoe on the table at the UN, Nikita Kruschev built a wall through the middle of Berlin to prevent his own Soviet

It reached its peak the following year when Kennedy and Kruschev faced off over the instillation of nuclear missile firing sites 100 miles from the US in Cuba. After I started sobbing at the breakfast table, Dad banned all political conversations and hid all newspapers in the laundry, where of course I found them and devoured the tearstained shock horror front pages of the afternoon tabloids while he was at work. I wasn’t alone in this paranoia. The late playwright and master of dishevelment Bob Ellis confessed in later life that he and his girlfriend had stolen her father’s car and fled to the Blue Mountains, where at least they had a chance. After a last night of bliss in the back seat, he woke and “found to my amazement the world hadn’t ended. There wasn’t a mushroom cloud over Sydney, and I had to bring her back and face down [her father].”

Pictures: SUPPLIED

Understandably, the US was considered to be the most likely target of the Russian madmen, and predictably the mass marketers saw a solid future in fallout shelters and ridiculously inadequate protective suits, commercials for which were wedged between Disneyland and Bonanza. Here in Australia we took a lighter and more reasoned approach, although there were many who advocated that we too could become the target of Russian aggression. Not that we didn’t already have a few problems with “friendly” atomic bombs being exploded on or near our soil. In 1948 the Americans started atomic testing in the Marshall Islands in the near Pacific, and the environmental issues from that are still present today. In 1953 the Brits joined the party, disgracefully testing their bombs on Indigenous land in outback South Australia.

Not a lot of privacy for this twosome. But we still saw the funny side, particularly when, in the early ‘60s thousands of flyers were circulated in Sydney informing residents that they had been selected as a “nuclear warden” for their street and should have at least three buckets of water at the ready to put out fires from bombs, as well as a full pantry for feeding their neighbours if required. Of course it was a hoax, and much of the stuff going around on social media now similarly requires a suspension of disbelief. But just because we are in perilous times, doesn’t mean we can’t have a laugh, perhaps in the spirit of the caption that accompanied an Arthur Lowe photo published in California in 1951: “Beautiful Mary Lou Miner suns herself atop a new West Los Angeles bomb shelter on Santa Monica Boulevard. If we’re not bombed, it’ll make a good den, play room, or dog house”. Or here, perhaps a short term accommodation, if you’re prepared to pay the tax.

Oyster reefs ready to rock From page 1 TNC has engaged with various sectors of the community in partnership and educational roles. They have enlisted the help of several local restaurants in the Shuck Don’t Chuck oyster shell recycling project. They have engaged in senior school projects in partnership with Noosa Environmental Education Hub (EEhub) and in junior school projects in partnership with Noosa Biosphere Community Association (NBCA). With Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) they have completed phase one of the community-led oyster gardening project and implemented a grant with the Noosa Parks Association (NPA) to undertake baseline scientific assessments of sediment accumulation patterns in the Noosa River. The project has also secured an official name for Noosa’s oyster reefs from the Kabi Kabi elders – the ‘Huon Mundy Reefs’ and developed an oyster reef interpretive sign in partnership with Kabi Kabi members and Noosa Council. TNC has ongoing commitments towards the management of the oyster reefs including the monitoring of ecological performance and erosion for the next five year and monitoring reef condition until 2030. They are committed to future reef seeding events, facilitating oyster gardening and supporting a Noosa River sediment accumulation study.

PHIL JARRATT examines the conclusions and recommendations of the recent Noosa Wetlands independent report

Rethinking our wetlands It’s been a few weeks since we first met to discuss Peter Hunnam and Alex Western’s Wetlands In Noosa River Estuary report, but Peter, a 73-year-old retired ecologist, has lost none of his infectious energy and enthusiasm for making stuff happen. If I’d thought the fact that Noosa Today and large sections of the community have actually been taking notice of this eminently sensible report might have given him license to sit back and relax for a bit, that fantasy went out the window (literally) when we met again last weekend, overlooking said river on a bleak and blustery day, to go over the report’s findings and recommendations and paint a picture of what the future could look like. Peter paced the room while ideas tumbled from his lips, but it soon became obvious that while he sees myriad problems, he also sees the opportunity to restore our river to a shining example of urban land use and environmental responsibility working hand in hand. But it ain’t going to be easy. Our previous report on the NICA-supported wetlands study (NT, 14 October) highlighted the enormous extent of the lower Noosa River and its catchment, with over 9000 hectares of foreshore and riparian wetlands along 66 kilometres of river and estuary, and the numerous pressure points within that space. Now I’ve asked to hear about possible solutions to the problems created by half a century of increasing urban development. Says Peter: “I’d like to see better care taken of the Noosa River and especially its fragile edges – the shore, shallows and foreshore. Everyone in Noosa lives close to a wetland and so is every school, but we are often not

We need more soft engineering, more planting, more access for recreation and enjoyment of the natural river and foreshore habitats, ecology and biodiversity.” He continues: “The foreshore is a highly valuable public asset, but in the intensively used estuary we have let too much of it get abused and damaged, too many concrete structures and surfacing. We have also allowed too much private ownership and development, hundreds of properties that back onto tidal wetland areas, hundreds of private jetties and pontoons and very few public ones. “Few if any of these are designed and managed with regard to the ecology of the site they

Pictures: PJ are built on or next to. “I’d love to see a major effort put into a restoration program, involving the whole of the community and the whole of Noosa Council – not just environmental services, but the roads, storm drains and recreational parks divisions who are really responsible for using and managing sustainably most of the estuary foreshore. “We need a major clean-up of many of the hard structures and surfaces that litter the shorelines. These destroy rather than conserve the ecological processes on which the health of our river depends. “Less junk, less parking, less rock wall, less run-off, ground and water pollution, erosion, less private infrastructure, less anchor and wake damage to fragile shores and shallows,

seagrass and mangrove habitats.” There is a lot to swallow in all of that, but Peter, who spent much of his 50-year career as an ecologist and environmental scientist managing sensitive ecosystems, including several other biosphere reserves, is a staunch advocate of enlisting community and environmental groups support in pointing out the mapped pressure points and fixing them now, rather than waiting for an over-arching river management plan to fall out of the sky. He calls it a “reverse restoration strategy”. “The pressure points for the river are widespread but by no means uniform, so often the authorities will look at the good bits and protect them, whereas I think we should tackle the problems head-on. “Now, with our mayor on the Olympics committee, we have the perfect opportunity to launch a decade-long community initiative to restore the river system to what it should and can be.” The following are edited highlights of the conclusions, recommendations community engagement, impacts and overall vision of the Wetlands Urban Land Use Pressures report.

Conclusions An overall conclusion is that with significantand extensive pressures, the natural values of Noosa estuary are not sustainable without improved management and conservation measures. There is no strategy or system in place for protecting the estuary, its foreshore and riparian wetlands or any other habitat. There are no effective estuarine or wetland reserve areas. Current measures to conserve natural habitats in the estuary precinct are limited to a few designated reserve areas that do not provide adequate protection from nearby urban land use or waterway use. The underlying problem is that urban land-use, public and private buildings and associated infrastructure have been developed closely and extensively around the central estuary precinct with inadequate regard for the healthy functioning of the estuary ecosystem. Major problems include: There has been excessive clearing and destruction of foreshore habitats by development directly on foreshore land and the littoral zone – buildings, roads, other infrastructure and urban parks, as well as more than 1000 hard structures of “waterway infrastructure” (jetties, boat ramps, stormwater outfalls etc). Most other stretches of Noosa’s foreshore wetlands have been significantly degraded by development of urban land-use in close

proximity – resulting in extensive “edge effects” of encroachment and increased inputs of foreign materials (litter, pollutants and waste dumping to weeds and domestic pests). The run-off and contaminants from every building, road and other hard surface in urban Noosa (over 1400 ha) is channelled through the stormwater drainage system into the estuary (via over 200 unmodified outfalls) causing significant disruption to the ecological functions of foreshore and riparian wetlands and the estuary as a whole. Recommendations It is hoped that the assessment of urban development pressures on the lower Noosa River system will be useful to the current initiative by Noosa Council, State Government agencies and community representatives on the Noosa River Stakeholders Advisory Committee to strengthen collaborative management and conservation of the whole Noosa River and catchment system. The aim would be to bring together all agencies with responsibilities for managing different components and use activities across the whole river system, to collaborate on planning and putting in place a comprehensive, integrated and long-term management system and program. For the Noosa estuary the most effective dual strategy for conservation and sustainability would be to address directly the main ecological problems caused by urban land-uses, plus a complementary strategy to systematical-

ly restore and enhance the ecological functions and natural amenity of areas that are degraded. Possible mechanisms to mitigate urban land-use pressures on the estuary include: For structures and surfaces built directly on foreshore land, engage owners and managers in a systematic program to reduce their impacts on the ecology of those sites and surrounding areas. Renovation or new structure development directly on foreshore land, maximising the application of ecological principles in design, materials, construction, operation and ultimate removal and site restoration. New and renovated roadways and road drainage throughout Noosa estuary and basin: modify design to minimise impacts of run-off and maximise wetland functionality. Foreshore and riparian recreation parkland: re-design and modify to restore and enhance ecological processes, biodiversity and natural amenity. Living Foreshores Strategy: priority sites for management attention The survey identified several degraded stretches of the estuary foreshore as priorities for restoration and enhancement, pilot sites for a Living Foreshores strategy involving Noosa Council in partnership with local community conservation volunteers.

tivities relating to the lower Noosa River, including riparian bush-care, litter and rubbish clean-ups, and monitoring projects – water quality, habitats, wildlife populations. These are supported through a range of community organisations: Noosa Integrated Catchment Association, OzFish Noosa, North Tewantin BushCare Group, CleanUp Australia Day, Noosa Parks Association, Noosa Community Biosphere Association. A basic aim of the project is to support and strengthen these river and estuary conservation activities, and the findings of the project are starting to be used towards this objective. An underlying challenge is the lack of a coherent mechanism for forming a clear collective vision and suitable management system and programs for conserving and sustaining the Noosa River or estuary. Impacts In practise, very little urban or tourism development is planned or implemented with adequate regard for the ecological functioning of the land or water on which the development is based. In particular many rivers, estuaries and wetlands attract waterside urban communities that are developed and managed poorly. Their natural values, ecological health and resilience are progressively degraded rather than safeguarded and sustained. Many UNESCO biosphere reserves are faced with the same types of problems found in Noosa, and would benefit from taking the approach promoted by the Wetlands project – of governing the human uses of the ecosystem within carefully defined sustainable limits. Vision Although the Wetlands project is only a very small initiative, it is hoped that the findings will help catalyse a stronger and more effective system for management and conservation of the Noosa River, one that sustains the river and catchment as the living heart of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve. Our vision is for Noosa River Biosphere Reserve to be an exemplar of world best practices in ecologically-sustainable urban and tourism development in a healthy biodiverse coastal river ecosystem.

Victim was ‘kind to a fault’ By Laine Clark, Aap All that was left of Bruce Saunders in the woodchipper was his legs. However, his son Blake hoped that was not how his father would be remembered after Gregory Lee Roser was found guilty of a “most gruesome and evil” murder. Roser, 63, received a life sentence after bludgeoning Mr Saunders with a metal bar at a property north of Brisbane in November 2017. The 54-year-old’s body was then fed into the chipper with the help of another man, Peter Koenig, to make it look an accident. “My dad did not deserve to be remembered as the woodchipper victim,” Blake Saunders said in a victim impact statement read in Brisbane Supreme Court. He hoped his father would be thought of fondly as a good man who tried to help as many people as he could. Indeed the happy-go-lucky Mr Saunders was kind to a fault, Justice Martin Burns said. “A fault that probably became a fatal fault,” he said. Mr Saunders had agreed to help “so called friends” clear trees at the Goomboorian property near Gympie when he was killed. The disposal of his body was beyond the imagination of any decent human being, Justice Burns said. “But you are not a decent human being, far from it,” he told Roser, who showed no emotion throughout. Mr Saunders died after becoming embroiled in a “love quadrangle”. The Crown alleged Sharon Graham asked her lovers Roser and Koenig to kill her ex-partner Mr Saunders in a bid to claim his $750,000 life insurance. Graham was living with Mr Saunders - albeit in separate bedrooms - and was in a relationship with Roser while also intimate with Koenig.

Blake Saunders said his “dad does not deserve to be remembered as the woodchipper victim”. Picture: DARREN ENGLAND, AAP They had split but Mr Saunders was still “besotted” with Graham. Mr Saunders even made out his will and life insurance policy in her favour. It was a decision Justice Burns said could only be understood by “the clutch of evil - and a rare brand of evil it was - which took a hold of him”.

So when Graham asked him to help on the property, Mr Saunders agreed. He even paid for the chipper hire. Roser said Graham first asked him to kill Mr Saunders soon after they had met. Her murder plan evolved over months, at one stage borrowing a handgun from Koenig, the court heard.

“You were either too weak or too stupid to resist,” Justice Burns told Roser. After repeatedly hitting Mr Saunders, Roser received help from Koenig carrying the body to the chipper because he had a bad back. Koenig fed Mr Saunders into the machine until the legs remained to “leave a bit of Bruce” so police thought it was an accident. Roser moved into Mr Saunders’ bedroom with Graham the night after his murder. Roser and Koenig told police a “reckless” Mr Saunders had fallen into the chipper trying to retrieve his phone. Work colleagues said Mr Saunders was always “safety first” as a third-generation butcher. Roser even claimed he had tried to save Mr Saunders by grabbing his legs. However when his trial started, Roser changed his tune. He said a plan by Graham had been carried out by Koenig, who he claimed had Mafia connections. Roser admitted to “shamefully” assisting Koenig with the body’s disposal and lying to police. Justice Burns said the guilty verdict was a “unanimous rejection” of his claims. Roser is eligible for parole in 20 years. But Justice Burns said authorities should look long and hard before releasing him, describing Roser as a “particularly dangerous individual”. Graham, 61, pleaded not guilty to murder and successfully applied for a separate trial. Koenig pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder this year. Blake Saunders was supported during the five-week trial by family and friends. “It’s been very difficult for me. Not only was he my dad, he was my best friend - I miss him dearly,” he said, fighting back tears.

Lunch raises funds The Coast Guard Noosa, QF5, held a lunch at Frenchies Re staurant on Tuesday 11 October for about 74 Noosa residents to raise money to help cover the $170,000 annual cost of the service. QF5 is one of 47 Australian Volunteer Coast Guard flotillas covering the eastern states, South Australia and Darwin. With a motto of safety by all means, the service provides marine search and rescue, offshore vessel and recreational vessel monitoring and tracking, and public education and training. QF5 is etched into the history of Noosa, being formed in November 1974 with 14 volunteers and a privately owned 18’ 6” Stebercraft boat with twin 65hp outboards. Members of the crew had to be male and at least 18 years old. Purchasing a boat was a priority. The reasons for forming the unit were firstly the popularity of Noosa as a tourist destination and the ever-increasing use of the river and adjoining coast for recreational fishing tourist activities, and the second were the concerns being raised at the lack of search and rescue capability in the local area. Up to that time mariners had to depend on QF4, which was located at Caloundra. The initial area of operations was essentially around the Noosa Lake system and Laguna and Alexandra Bay area. Today the QF5 area of operations extends from Double Island Point in the north to Point Arkwright in the south, the lakes system up to Harry’s Hut and 50 nautical miles to sea. It is a large area to cover and unlike many flotillas it covers not only the ocean and the river, but also the lake systems and everglades. It also covers the Noosa bar, which is reputed to be one of the most treacherous bars in Queensland. For the mathematically-minded, it is roughly 4500 square miles. Today QF5 has just over 100 volunteers and 20 of those are females who work on either radio or as a member of a crew. The volunteers

The common bond is that volunteers know that they are there to save lives at sea. Each year, QF5 does around 170 assists, aiding around 300 – 400 people. QF5 is still heavily dependent on donations and the fundraising of its volunteers. The annual cost to maintain QF5 is around $170 000 a year, with the major costs being insurance, maintenance and fuel – the latter currently being around $50,000 per year. This does not include money being set aside for boat replacement. By way of example, to replace its primary rescue vessel, John Waddams, the cost would be close to $1.4 million. A common misconception is that Coast Guard is funded by government. Sadly, this is not the case at present and while the Noosa Council does provide funds for specific projects, general income is dependent on spon-

QF5 is always looking for new members, supporters and business sponsors. Contact Flotilla Commander, Ian Hutchings, for more information on 54743695 or qf5@coastguard. com.au

More calls for help The warmer weather saw increased activity in Noosa River and Laguna Bay during September, which resulted in an escalation in radio calls for Coast Guard Noosa. The volunteers assisted 21 boaties from 4057 radio calls, with mechanical issues likely due to low usage over winter being the cause for some of these rescues. During the winter months, Coast Guard Noosa used the time to improve training of crews to prepare them for the busy summer period. New Coastguard signage will be in place shortly on boat ramps, the Bar Tower and the entrance to the Coast Guard Noosa base at Munna Point. The signs will include updated information on radio channels and contact details. They also launched a successful recruiting campaign for radio operators and crew. Their training has already begun. Marine assists included a 12m catamaran in the vicinity of Doggy Beach with steering and engine problems; a pontoon boat that was found to have water in its fuel tanks; and a jet ski sinking in Laguna Bay. All vessels were successfully assisted and where necessary returned to their moorings or boat ramps. Coast Guard Noosa is currently in discussion with Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) in relation to a replacement vessel for its primary rescue vessel John Waddams. The replacement of the vessel stems from the Blue Water Review that was undertaken by the Queensland Government in 2020/21.

Bigger ferry is preferred By Margie Maccoll The use of an overseas company, the flexibility allowed in a 20-year contract, the possibility the provider would switch from diesel to electric propulsion and traffic congestion on Moorindil Street, Tewantin, were issues raised during Noosa Council’s discussion on the Noosa North Shore ferry tender. At Monday’s general committee meeting, councillors voted unanimously to endorse staff recommendations to go ahead with a 20year contract with Divers Den Investments (DDI), part of the Estrada Travel Group, New Zealand’s largest passenger transport company, to take over operations of the Noosa North Shore ferry from mid-2024, at the end of the current contract. Council received tenders for the contract from three companies - incumbent operators Noosa North Shore Ferries, KBRV Services, part of the Kelsian group which operates SeaLink, Australia’s largest ferry operator, and DDI. Council officers recommended council choose DDI and its tender to supply two newly constructed diesel-fuelled vessels - a 27-vehicle ferry and 12-vehicle ferry along with an emissions offset agreement using Greenfleet offsets through the Yurol forest project. Their tender promises larger vehicle ferries, less queues, contemporary payment systems and a stream-lined service provided by an experienced operator, Noosa Council staff told last week’s council meeting of their recommended tender choice. “At 27 vehicles, the single larger ferry exceeds the capacity of both existing ferries by 35 per cent and would eliminate most vehicle queuing issues, allowing DDI to operate only one ferry

to comfortably meet service KPIs for all but the busiest times of the year and to significantly simplify the service’s staffing and rostering needs,“ council’s recommendation stated. Currently dealing with 770,000 customers a year with all their platforms, websites and customer services in place DDI “have all the tools to deliver on the contract“, staff said. On Monday the meeting heard that, despite being a New Zealand company, the proposed operator already had a number of entities in Queensland including the operation of the Daintree vehicle ferry and would use local staff in Noosa. Cr Brian Stockwell said the new ferry service would facilitate traffic flow and decrease congestion in peak periods. It would leave the decision to the state government on the number of day trippers to North Shore rather than the ferry service. The state government already required a Vehicle Access Permit (VAP) for vehicles accessing the Noosa North Shore beach, with number plate recognition cameras in place at beach entries to check permits. Fines were issued to those who drive on the beach without a VAP and overnight campers require the VAP as well as having booked and paid for their camping. Cr Amelia Lorentson asked whether the contract had the flexibility to enable council to discuss with the operator electrifying the ferry vehicles at a future time and officers replied the potential was there through the life of the contract to look at converting to other propulsion technologies. Officers said the contract allowed for a range of outcomes that historically they were unable to include in lease agreements. Cr Frank Wilkie said the most significant outcome of the new ferry would be to minimise the impact on Moorindil Street residents during peak periods. A larger ferry, an additional slip lane and the use of online technology will facilitate faster travel times and less queuing, he said. “It would make the experience high quality, not one of congestion and waiting,“ Cr Stockwell said. Infrastructure upgrades, included in the current budget, are to be made to the Moorindil Street approach to the ferry landings to extend 600m southward, with the addition of pedestrian and cycle facilities. The changeover of ferry operators proposed for mid-2024 when the current contract expires will be a complex process involving the larger ferry being brought to Noosa from a Cairns ship builder and installed before the new contract begins to enable a smooth switch over of services, council heard. The final decision on the ferry tender will be made at council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday.

Staff value is shown in new permanent positions Council will convert some long-term temporary and casual roles to permanent to retain quality staff in a highly competitive labor market, improve efficiencies and meet industrial relation laws. An extensive review into Council’s longterm and temporary casuals was tabled at Monday’s General Committee meeting, resulting in an increase of 24 permanent staff numbers. It comprises the conversion of 21 temporary (a range of full-time, casual and parttime) positions to permanent roles across various departments in the organisation. “We have an obligation to meet our industrial relations requirements, give our casual staff certainty, and continually consider operational efficiency and effectiveness to serve our community,” chief executive officer Scott Waters said. “There is no cost to the current bottom line as these funds are already budgeted for and these changes give us the ability to provide certainty to our staff and continue optimum service delivery. “These are long term casuals who, under the state and federal government’s industrial relations policies, effectively mean the workers are already full-time employees. “Many of these positions have been extended more than once to support the delivery of council services, progress the implementation of Council strategies and to meet consistently high workloads, so it’s an issue that needed to be addressed.“ The review forms part of the CEO’s Noo-

sa 2.0 Project, endorsed in June this year, which focuses on delivering a customercentric, agile organisation to the service the community. Mayor Clare Stewart said as all councillors rightfully pointed out during their discussion in chambers, “this is a reality check and clearly demonstrates that the organisation is walking the talk about valuing its staff, and meeting its obligations under industrial relations laws”. As part of the structural changes, Council has also agreed to convert 20 casual positions to permanent roles in Council’s facilities, such as the Noosa Aquatic Centre, Noosa Leisure Centre and Noosa Community Support. “Throughout the review we identified the need to stabilise various roles being undertaken by casual employees to better support business operations and provide greater employment security,” Mr Waters said. Mr Waters said the report also recommended structural changes to allow management the flexibility to strategically support the future needs of the shire. “We, as an organisation, are always looking at ways to improve how we operate and we are constantly evolving to meet the needs of how we deliver our core services to the community,” he said. The report was unanimously endorsed at the General Committee and goes before Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting for formal adoption.

Counting costs of floods By Margie Maccoll Thirteen days of rain and flooding last February left the Noosa community with a $44.75 million repair bill that will be fully funded by state and federal governments, administered by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) with a deadline to complete projects by mid-2024, a Noosa Council report revealed this week. The flood recovery report delivered to Noosa Council’s general meeting on Monday provided an update on progress. Infrastructure services department director Larry Sengstock told the meeting council staff had been working with QRA to work out the amount of work required and funding available. At the time of the event, about $200,000 had been spent on disaster preparation such as setting up evacuation sites, preparing sandbags and clean ups and about $300,000 went to emergency works focused on roads, footpaths and walkways immediately after. The remainder of the work is more technically difficult, resource intensive and costly, Mr Sengstock said, with the most significant issue being a major landslide, 15m deep and still moving, on Black Mountain Road, expected to cost about $25 million to fix. Mr Sengstock said the weather event caused 10 other major landslips, expected to be rectified with $3.62 million and 18 smaller ones costed at about $2.33 million In addition, $6 million has been budgeted to repair damage to a roadway over a waterway requiring complex water pipe infrastructure at Schreibers Road, Cooran, $1 million has been allocated to reconstruct a section of Golden Gully Road, Kin Kin, over a waterway, and $2.14 million will go to repair 75 damaged roads. In addition, further grants obtained by council include a clean up grant that is ex-

A community and recreation grant of $4.6 million will be used to reconstruct Trail 4 on Black Pinch Road, Boreen Point, and a $500,000 community development grant has been obtained to employ a community recovery and resilience officer. “It’s a massive piece of work. There’s a lot to be done and as we’ve seen over the weekend there’s always more activity and more events,“ Mr Sengstock said.

He said council was ready to go out to tender on the Black Mountain Road landslip project as well as a number of other projects. A meeting scheduled for the weekend to update Black Mountain residents on progress was cancelled due to wet conditions. Mr Sengstock said council had been working through five alternate concepts to fix the landslip. “We can’t build a track on top of the landslip - it’s too dangerous,“ he said.

and had agreed to fund its reconstruction, he said. “It’s a matter of getting a detailed design, getting in there after the wet season and expedite it,“ he said. Cr Brian Stockwell said the most important thing for council to do was to mitigate climate impacts and adapt. Mr Sengstock said climate impacts such as predicted increased water levels were factored into everything they did but it was difficult. We have to be cautious, we don’t want to ignore it and have to deal with it later, but it all comes at a higher cost, he said.

Dugong ’likely’ starved By Abbey Cannan A dead dugong was found in the Noosa River on Sunday 16 October, followed by a wave of speculation online as to what caused the much-loved creature’s death. There was a lot of fingers being pointed at the river being over populated with vessels, and even some calling for speed boats and jet skis to be banned. “Jet skis really have no place on our river. Nor speed boats for that matter,“ they said. Another agreed, “The answer is obvious. Ban speed boats and jet skis.“ “We enjoyed seeing this wonderful creature in our river. We did worry though that it would get killed or injured. The river is just so busy now and like the freeway,“ another person wrote. The dugong was found floating in the river at Goat Island, adjacent to the new oyster seeding rocks opposite Hilton Esplanade. A Department of Environment and Science (DES) spokesperson said the dugong was about 2.3 metres and appeared to be an adolescent. “The animal has been deceased for a number of days but there was no obvious cause of death,“ a DES spokesperson said. Senior Lecturer in Animal Ecology at University of the Sunshine Coast, Associate Professor Kathy Townsend, who recently highlighted the impact of La Nina on dugongs and turtles via The Conversation, said it was likely the dugong died from starvation. Noosa Today spoke to UniSC PhD candidate Caitlin Smith to hear her thoughts on the recent death. “I can’t make any definite statements, but I would say that it would be likely that the dugong died from starvation due to the lack of seagrass, or that it was subjected to other impacts or secondary infections as a result of malnutrition,“ she said.

A dead dugong was found floating in Noosa River on Goat Island. “I couldn’t be certain unless I did a necropsy report.“ Caitlin said she couldn’t see evidence of boat strike injuries in images of the dugong. “Again, I can’t say for sure what the cause of death is. I would, however, say that the impacts

of low food availability could cause marine life to be more lethargic and less reactive, so it’s always a good thing to be vigilant and careful when driving your boat or jet ski in the area to avoid collisions,“ she said. It’s not just dugongs struggling at the moment.

Together with a team from UniSC, Caitlin discovered 15 sick green turtles in recent weeks in the Great Sandy Strait near Hervey Bay. “Most of the sick sea turtles we found – as well as those found by Queensland’s Department of Environment and Science team – showed signs of starvation and illness, including the newly identified soft shell disease,“ Associate Professor Townsend stated. Caitlin explained how La Nina, a naturally occurring event and a part of the el nino southern oscillation (ENSO), was likely to blame. “For Australia, the La Nina phase is attributed with high rainfall, resulting in flood events,“ she said. “Human induced climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of these flood events. “When you get these large floods, the flood waters flush everything from the land into the river systems and erode away riverbanks bringing with it sediment and land-based contaminants such as herbicides and pesticides. “When this sediment eventually makes it into the ocean, it smothers the seagrass beds. As seagrass is a plant it requires sunlight to photosynthesise, therefore the sediment prevents this from happening and you get a mass die off of seagrass.“ Caitlin said this was very problematic for populations which rely on this as a food source, such as green turtles and dugongs. “Therefore, we have observed low seagrass availability and poor water quality,“ she said. “This is concerning with another season of La Nina predicted for the next year, so there won’t be much of an opportunity for the seagrass or dugong/turtle populations to recover before the next flood event.“ Anyone who comes across injured, stranded or dead marine wildlife should report it to the Department of Environment and Science on 1300 130 372.

Message in a blue bottle lives on in honour of Alana Driven by the shining light that was Alana de Kort, a group of men aiming to honour her life and assist cancer research, took off this month on a 1500km jet ski journey, dropping into Noosa last week on the way. Alana was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer, Ewings Sarcoma in 2017, and passed away 10 months later at just 14 years of age. Alana’s family and friends poured messages of love for her into notes at her Celebration of Life and sent these out to sea from Long Reef Headland, NSW, in a little blue bottle. One year after being told by doctors that there was nothing more they could do for Alana and four days before her death, Alana’s family received a call from the Cooper family in Agnes Waters to say they had found the blue bottle, intact. The find bonded the families and was a sign to the de Korts that Alana’s legacy would live on. Blue Bottle was formed to turn the tide on cancer research to find and fund better treatment for children facing cancer. Blue Bottle has joined forces with The Kids’ Cancer Project for the JetSki ride, Reef 2 Water, with Alana’s father, Paul, brother, Jake, taking part alongside Bob Cooper who discovered the blue bottle of messages. The Kids’ Cancer Project funds research projects that investigate childhood cancer

Literary feast in Peregian By Phil Jarratt Annie Grossman of Annie’s Books is always busy organising literary soirees but for November she’s outdone herself. Let’s call it NovLit. A-Gro is presenting a trio of excellent celebrations of books and writers over the month and they’re all happening in Peregian Village, which is fast becoming a surfside Greenwich Village. First up on 13 November is Gourmet Farmer Matthew Evans, owner of Tassie’s Fat Pig Farm and author of a string of bestselling cookbooks, who is returning to Peregian Beach Veggie Village where on previous visits he presented his Gourmet Farmer Deli book and his fascinating Soil. Matthew will chat about all things farming, and also the revised edition of his classic Real Food Companion. Wine and nibbles served for a small ticket price of $15, with $10 being donated to the Veggie Village. As soon as Annie has recovered from that, on 16 November she’ll be welcoming awardwinning Australian author Heather Rose, whose most recent novel, Bruny, won the book industry’s Fiction Book of the Year, while her previous novel, The Museum of Modern Love, won the prestigious Stella Prize. In Peregian, Heather will be presenting her latest work, a memoir called Nothing Bad Ever Happens Here over a literary lunch at Pitchfork Restaurant. Another uber-creative Tasmanian, Heather has published eight novels and a fable ahead of turning her attention to her own adventurous life of almost six decades, which includes studying at a monastery in Laos, meeting the late Queen and having dinner with a drunk Hunter S Thompson at Woody Creek Tavern. (Can’t wait to swap notes on that!) With The Museum of Modern Love heading for the big screen and Bruny a TV series,

Author Inga Simpson.

both in production next year, versatile Heather is now working on a historical novel set, of course, in colonial Tasmania. Concluding NovLit is an event that will be a magnet for all cricket tragics with a literary bent, including this writer. Inga Simpson, a former Sunny Coaster who now lives on the NSW South Coast, is a fascinating writer whose latest novel, Willowman, is described as “a love letter to the art and beauty of cricket”. A one-time political writer and researcher, now a nature writer and novelist, Inga is the author of a beautiful memoir and three novels, all of which have been top sellers recognized by the literary prize panels.

Her first novel, Mr Wigg (2013), was shortlisted for the Debut Fiction Indie Award. Nest (2014) was longlisted for the Miles Franklin, the Stella Prize, and shortlisted for the ALS Gold Medal. And Where the Trees Were (Hachette 2016) was longlisted for the Miles Franklin Award, an ABIA Award, The Green Carnation Prize, and shortlisted for an Indie award. Last year’s The Last Woman in the World (2021), was shortlisted for the Margaret and Colin Roderick Literary Award and the Fiction Indie Book Award. Perhaps more importantly, Malcolm Knox, who’s as bat-poo crazy as me about surfing and cricket, says you can’t put Willowman down.

The Guide THE CAPTURE ABC TV, Saturday, 8.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK STUFF THE BRITISH STOLE ABC TV, Tuesday, 8pm

Thrilling and disturbing in equal measure, this conspiracy series raises the stakes as we near the end of season two. DCI Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger, pictured) falls deeper into the dizzying world of deepfakes and disinformation. Her team must widen their search for invisible assassins (yes, really) and recalibrate their thinking as to who might be behind recent attacks. Meanwhile, rising politician Isaac Turner (Paapa Essiedu) becomes paranoid in the wake of his hacked TV interview. The drama is so good it’s almost worth the sleep you’ll lose worrying about whether it’s all actually possible in the real world. NCIS: HAWAI’I 10, Sunday, 9pm

The NCIS franchise has mastered its tried-and-true formula and tonight’s fast-paced episode is no exception. There’s the requisite beach locations (we’re in Hawaii, after all), a law enforcement case for the team to solve (give them 60 minutes or less), as well as an indispensable subplot involving matters of the heart. In “Blind Curves”, the writers have thrown a bit of a curveball into the sun, sand and surf with a Fast and the Furious-style case for the team. Expect petrol fumes in the seaside air as the team delves into the world of illegal street racing. Meanwhile, Whistler (Tori Anderson, pictured) is worried about introducing partner Lucy (Yasmine AlBustami) to her colleagues.

PLANET AMERICA ABC TV, Monday, 9.35pm

It’s totally understandable to feel compelled to stick a finger in each ear and chant “La, la, la, la!” when someone informs you about the latest headlines from the US. The saying “only in America” – often said with an obvious roll of the eyes – is rightfully bandied about when faced with political news and developments from the States. Mercifully, this humour-laden current affairs show sticks to the important facts, with a little quirkiness to sweeten the dispatch. With a week before the midterm elections, hosts Chas Licciardello and John Barron deliver their unique take on US politics. Can the Democrats hold their majority and will Trump rear his tanned head?

After the breakout success of art theft investigation Framed, Marc Fennell presents this new six-part series examining the origins of some of the British Empire’s most famous treasures. The Walkley Award-winning journalist digs up the truth behind some of the world’s most iconic and priceless relics, including a diamond in the crown jewels that Indians and Pakistanis claim was stolen and the heist of a Scottish relic. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the ascension of King Charles III, the legacy of the British Empire is being re-examined and this compelling, globetrotting investigation is bound to pose some very tough questions for even the staunchest royalist.

Hidden in plain sight: Journalist Marc Fennell examines the legacy of the British Empire in Stuff the British Stole.

Noosa State Emergency Service Local Controller Warren Kuskopf thinks helping your community when they need it the most is incredibly rewarding.

Council is lending its support to an SES recruitment drive to boost numbers this summer.

“You get to learn new skills, form

24 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 October, 2022

There are many different roles in the SES to suit a volunteer’s personal abilities and interests.

“All roles are vital in preparing for, and responding to, the different types of disasters and emergencies we experience in Noosa.”

“There’s also a range of nonoperational roles, such as admin, support and education that are just as important to the running of the SES.”

“If you see yourself in orange and like the idea of providing hands-on assistance in emergency situations, there’s an operational role to suit everyone, “Mr Kuskopf said.

Now is a great time to become an SES volunteer. Visit SES on Council’s website at noosa. qld.gov.au/ses-volunteering to find out more or call the Local Controller on 0415 989 990.

Skateboarder Ben Glass trying out the new ramp.

Local skateboarders drop-in on new half-pipe. Skaters at the popular Sunshine Beach Skate Park are stoked with the upgrade to the new park. The Sunshine Beach Skate Park is an extremely popular facility with local families and is regularly used as a training ground for up-and-coming international and local skaters from as far as

Hervey Bay and Brisbane. The old 3m half-pipe was regarded as one of the most popular and highly valued elements in the park for both professional and recreational skaters. The new 3m ramp will help develop the next generation of skaters including up-and-coming local Ben Glass, who said “I love

“It’s beautiful and silky smooth and a joy to roll on. Council’s team have done a great job. Having a ramp like this will encourage skaters in their progression.” Make sure you wear your brain bucket when using the ramp and don’t forget to tag #YourNoosa on Instagram and we will share our favourite images and videos.

RISK EXCELLENCE AWARD A two-year journey has earned recognition from peers Council’s small, dedicated Governance team has worked tirelessly with councillors, the executive leadership team and staff to produce a policy that is considered at the leading edge of risk management best practice in local government. Manager Diana Stewart said good governance provides a structure for sound decision-making to benefit the community. “This demonstrates good leadership by councillors and ensures that risks and opportunities are considered and managed consistently by everyone at Council,” she said.

The South-east Queensland Risk Excellence Award clearly demonstrates Council’s commitment to managing risks and opportunities. “There has been significant consultation and workshops to ensure we make meaningful changes that are fit-for-purpose for our Council,” Ms Stewart said.

“It’s a brilliant acknowledgement of Council’s exceptional governance and risk management strategies.”

IN BRIEF Cutting emissions A new electric ride-on mower is cutting the grass at Noosa Botanic Gardens, and so too slashing emissions from Council’s mowing operations. “The more petrol-powered plant we can swap out for newer, more efficient electric alternatives the better it is for the environment,” says Carbon Reduction Project Officer, Annie Nolan. “The benefits are even greater where we’re able to draw the power needed to recharge the equipment from the sun via solar,” she said. Council has transitioned many of its traditionally petrol-powered tools to battery alternatives in support of Council’s 2026 net-zero emissions target.

UPGRADE HITS MILESTONE The Noosa Parade upgrade has reached a project milestone, with asphalting and concreting works now complete. The widening of the pathways, on-road bike lanes and the inclusion of seven crossing points will make walking and bike riding more accessible, safer and enjoyable for users of all abilities.

Executive Services Director Deb Iezzi commended the efforts of staff.

When out and about on the shared pathways, remember to be courteous to other users so everyone can enjoy their journey.

“Our staff continue to work diligently to drive the highest standards possible and deserve the accolade,” she said.

Landscaping works and linemarking will continue over the coming weeks, the project is due to be complete in November.

Cooking unites them They first met while cooking together at a Brisbane restaurant, so for chefs Graham and Sarah Waddell working side by side in the kitchen of Noosa Springs’ Relish restaurant is as normal as preparing a backyard barbecue. Much has changed in their lives since Scottish-born Graham and Sarah first crossed paths at Hamilton’s Baguette restaurant in 2009 – they’re now parents to three lovely daughters, for a start – but their passion for cooking and producing fine food burns as brightly as ever. Sarah’s culinary career began in Noosa when she secured an apprenticeship at Sails restaurant in Hastings St nearly 20 years ago. Last year she was again offered a position in Noosa and the whole family – which by now included daughters Ilsa, Evie and Bella – relocated. Soon after, Graham was appointed head chef at Relish restaurant, a role he says he loves, and the circle became complete when Sarah joined him there when a chef’s position became vacant. “We’re used to working together and we enjoy it,” Graham said. “We have similar ideas about cooking – using great produce, producing the kind of food we like to eat ourselves.” Graham’s career began in Scotland as a 15-year-old. Later he moved to London to work in restaurants like Mayfair’s La Caprice and Covent Garden’s Fish. Then he took a break, flew to Sydney and backpacked through NSW and Queensland, picking up work at Fraser Island, Dunk Island and Daydream Island, before signing on

at Brisbane’s Baguette restaurant where he caught Sarah’s eye. After Baguette, the two young chefs spent a year in Melbourne before returning to Brisbane, firstly to help out at Baguette, then to open their own restaurant, St Baxter, in New Farm. At the same time Graham headed up the kitchen of the award-winning Alliance Hotel in Spring Hill. Reflecting on his experiences in some of the finest restaurants in Glasgow, London and Brisbane, Graham said: “I have one foot in French gastronomy; the other in Queensland’s larder.” Graham said he was delighted to be at Noosa Springs, where he has put his own stamp on Relish’s cuisine. “I believe in letting Mother Nature speak for herself,” he said. “The creativity of designing new dishes is what keeps me excited about the job.” Graham is responsible for Relish’s popular themed dinners, scheduled for the first Friday of each month, when guests enjoy a fourcourse meal featuring the cuisine of a particular country or region. He also creates quarterly new menus that coincide with seasons of the year and feature fresh produce, most of it locally grown. These menus feature some old favourites, intermingled with new creations – like spring’s linguine with king prawns, littleneck clams, cherry tomato, chilli and gremolata ($34), or pan-fried gnocchi with celeriac puree, asparagus, edamame, spinach, pinenuts, currants and goat cheese ($32). Breakfast is served daily from 7am, and lunch from 11am.

Graham and Sarah Waddell – thrilled to be working together at Noosa Springs.

Splashing in for fun To celebrate the fresh new Mooloolaba Northern Parkland, the Esplanade is set to transform with oceans of free family-friendly fun on Saturday 5 November from 10am–9pm. Scrumptious seafood, sand sculptures, mermaids, live music and sea-inspired displays feature among the many highlights for the upcoming Mooloolaba Foreshore Festival. Sunshine Coast Council Division 4 Councillor Joe Natoli said the festival would be a great way to celebrate the new award-winning public space. “We’ve partnered with Mooloolaba Chamber of Commerce to deliver the Mooloolaba Foreshore Festival, and we’re inviting the whole community to join us,” Cr Natoli said. “Visitors can experience the new Northern Parkland and also sample delicious food and drinks along the Esplanade, enjoy free rides and face painting for the kids, discover incredible sand sculptures, artisan markets and live entertainment. “There’s even a Mermaid Headquarters where you can meet a mermaid, and Neptune’s Garden Bar will provide refreshments, thanks to Diablo Co.” Live music will feature plenty of local favourites including Sunny Coast Rude Boys, the soulful sounds of The Dawn Light, JaZZella, Sugarbag Blonde and Ella Mathison as well as a Britt pop anthem band Cool Britannia. Festival attendees are encouraged to catch public transport, cycle, scoot or walk to the event or conveniently park at the Mooloolaba Central ParknGo for $5 per day and accessible via Brisbane Road or Smith Street.

Author talk at library On 17 November from 10:30am to 12pm, Bryn Smith is appearing at Noosaville Library to discuss science fiction, writing for mental health, and the importance of brick-and-mortar libraries and bookstores. Mr Smith is a 31-year-old awardwinning author, combat engineer in the Army Reserves and works at the Queensland Parliament’s Secretariat. He weaves his career in government and personal experience into his latest novel Magnus Nights: The Helios Incident. Smith’s science fiction novel combines adventure, crime, technology, and a dystopian future to create a gripping story. He encourages anyone with an interest in science fiction to come along on 17 November – particularly those interested in discussing how crime and science fiction intersect. Carolyn Martinez, director at Hawkeye Publishing, signed Mr Smith because “among other things, his book contains the best action scene containing character development that I’d ever read“. Mr Smith is a vocal advocate for physical libraries and bookstores. “Online algorithms funnelling readers to their usual preferences has a chilling side effect – it separates us,“ he said. “Reading physical books, however, gives us a common, shared experience that brings us together.“ Smith’s novel Magnus Nights: The Helios Incident was published in October 2021, and the second book in the series, Magnus Nights: Leviathan, is scheduled for a 2023 release.

Council wins top gongs Last week myself, Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie and Councillors Amelia Lorentson and Karen Finzel, along with our chief executive officer Scott Waters attended the Local Government Association of Queensland Conference held in Cairns. This conference is a once yearly event where all 77 Councils across Qld come together for professional development, to share ideas, information, and to debate issues on behalf of our own communities. Over the few days, Noosa Council was successful in securing top awards for infrastructure and excellence in risk management which is testament to the outstanding job our staff are doing. The risk and governance award recognises the collaborative efforts between councillors and our executive team over the past two years to develop a new risk policy to drive the highest standards forward. All five motions that Council put forward, ranging from affordable housing, water quality and sustainability, to environmental upgrade agreements were strongly supported by all Councils across Qld. I also had to opportunity to share a panel discussion with Gympie Mayor Glen Hartwig discussing the housing challenges we are facing and was humbled to receive a special commendation for the Local Government Association of Queensland’s (LGAQ) third annual Alison Woolla Memorial Award for Local Leadership in Preventing Domestic and Family Violence. All in all, it was a very productive few days and it was incredibly heartening to see Noosa

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie, councillors Amelia Lorentson and Karen Finzel and CEO Scott Waters attend the LGAQ conference. so well represented by our Councillors and CEO. Council has launched a new Living Well program that offers free and low-cost access to a range of classes. This is the first Permanent Living Well Program Council has offered the community and we are all incredibly proud of it. Yoga, reiki healing, breath work and mum and bubs pilates are some of the activities on offer. The initiative takes a holistic approach to addressing a range of health dimensions including physical, social, mental and spiritual health. You can also try yoga, tai chi, aqua

aerobics and events especially designed for seniors with our Living Well Seniors program. For more information and a full list of activities, visit noosa.qld.gov.au/living-well-noosa Speaking of community, our brand new Peregian Beach Community House is now open. It offers multi-functional spaces, three hire rooms, landscaped greenspace and purpose-built facilities to assist services that help disadvantaged residents Noosa Council is thrilled to become the first Queensland Council to use new interactive 3D hazard mapping technology to educate locals

on how disaster events such as bushfires could personally impact them, and to show exactly how a bushfire might behave if it unfolds in their immediate area. Knowing the risks bushfires pose to an immediate neighbourhood will help locals to be prepared. The technology, known as Simtable, uses a projector to overlay hazard projections over local mapping and terrain in 3D. The new tech is part of Council’s ongoing effort to reduce the shire’s bushfire risk and make the community more resilient. Over the past two years we have invested significantly in measures aimed at preventing a repeat of the 2019 fires, including more controlled burns, greater trail maintenance and appointment of an in-house officer to oversee local hazard reduction efforts. Education is also very important if we are to be disaster ready so I would encourage residents to attend the community sessions once finalised so you can get to know your own risk, which will help inform household emergency plans. Speaking of disaster resilience, with the La Nina weather conditions hanging around, it’s a timely reminder for residents to familiarise themselves with Council’s Disaster Dashboard. The Disaster Dashboard provides upto-date information on weather warnings, road closures and power outages. Download our Emergency Action Guide for practical advice on what to do before, during and after a range of disasters. You can also sign up to Noosa ALERT to receive notifications.

Noosa Biosphere Reverse? Diesel by Nature? Council’s decision to commission larger, diesel-powered ferries for Noosa North Shore is plain wrong. Ask Council’s own River Advisory Committee, Tourism Noosa, Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation or Community Association . Please Councillors, let us have clean green electric ferries, fit for our precious estuary, rather than fossil-powered pollution. Peter Hunnam, Tewantin

No more traffic on North Shore Front page story in last week’s Noosa Today that has council explaining why the ferry contract was awarded to a New Zealand business uses one reason that they will be bigger ferries and take more traffic ‘over’!!?? Why does this council does all it can to encourage more people here when the roads (and beach) can’t cope with the traffic now. So clearly I remember when we only had one six car ferry and applied for the second (early ‘80s).... council were reluctant as they felt there were enough going over and was a way of stopping more. Oh to have that thinking back again. More and more long term residents are leaving and letting all the new take over and want to change everything to what was like where they came from. Jeanne Robinson, Noosa Heads

Don’t store personal details Many of us have been inconvenienced over the past couple of weeks by cyber crime with the hacking of Optus and Medicare computer systems. This is not new nor will it be the last. The cyber criminals will always out-think computer programmers. Their motivation is greater, one is paid thousands and the other stands to make millions. The main issue is the need of companies to retain personal information once it has served it purpose. An example of this is why is it necessary for Optus to keep a copy of a customer’s driver’s licence once it has been used for the purpose it was requested. The purpose it is requested is obviously for verification of a new customer’s identity. All that needs to be kept 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 October, 2022

on file is a box being ticked that states their driver’s licence has been sighted/verified. It’s not hard then to wonder if these personal details are then used for purposes that we, the public, are not aware of. Do they supply the details to their franchise holders? If so, what cyber security do these franchise holders have? Or are there other reasons to keep this information on file? The solution, the federal government enacting laws spelling out that all information that has been used for the purpose it was required and is not used for ongoing activities is deleted. The solution is pretty simple but will it happen? Jim Kennedy, Sunrise Beach

River work recognised Peter Hunnam and Alex Western are to be congratulated on their report Wetland in Noosa River Estuary – Assessment of Urban Land-Use Pressures. The interface between urban landuse and natural ecosystems is a challenging and complex issue that requires careful planning as well as active management. It is heartening to see improvements to the Noosa River System already occurring as a result of work being done by the Keep it in Kin Kin Project (which is supported by a Noosa Council Grant) and Bring Back the Fish initiatives. Thank you also to Noosa Today for reporting in such a comprehensive and informative way. I look forward to hearing more about the findings and recommendations of the Report in the coming weeks. Jude Tulloch, Marcus Beach Bushcare Association

Toilet upgrade please Noosa Council needs to seriously upgrade the toilets at Noosa Main Beach. We recently drove to Port Douglas and stayed or needed toilets at Childers, Hervey Bay, Bargara, Burnett Heads, Yeppoon, Sarina Beach, Airlie Beach, Proserpine Public Golf Club, Bowen, Townsville, Cairns and Port Douglas. Every single location had better toilet facilities and even better quality toilet paper than our home town - one of the most beautiful and popular destinations in Australia. Cairns and Harvey Bay even have vacuum

loos that don’t even require water. I also find it near impossible to push the flush button in some of our local ones. Please do something about it. In this day and age we need a hand movement only to flush, toilet paper that doesn’t disintegrate when you pull it off the roll, and toilets that are at least as good and clean as some of the smallest towns in Queensland. Penny Bailey, Noosa Heads

Diversity of opinions I would be one of the first to agree with a couple of letter writers recent criticism of too much space being given in Noosa Today to certain letter writers. Each week its like putting in an entry to a Lotto. I admit to some weeks submitting two or three and occasionally a couple of times, four letters. My Repetitive Strain Injury is getting worse so, as Noosa Today gives all of its readers the opportunity to put local issues on the same pages, please let’s see other readers, opinions. Especially as I have been there and done that. Also, it’s appreciated that they are being read and even criticised. Attention achieved. Ernest Wright, Tewantin

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Afraid of the unions which fought for votes for women, superannuation, holiday pay, workplace safety, child labour abolition, workers’ compensation, paid sick leave, etc? Fair dinkum? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Total control What level of control should a government have over an individual’s use of their private property (editorial 21 Oct) - what a disingenuous question. Answer: total - as it has now and so it should. You cannot use your home as a brothel, tattoo parlour, nightclub, abattoir, dry-cleaners, factory, retail, or McDonald’s outlet without approval. And rightly so. Few would argue otherwise. So why imply unstaffed hotel businesses

(STA) should somehow be a favoured, special category of business, immune to planning control? These businesses are mostly owned by out of shire and out of state investors. The knock-on effects of homelessness and damage to other businesses either by unfair competition or depleting workforces because there is nowhere for workers to live, is now critically evident in Noosa. Better to ask when will this Council act to determine appropriate numbers and location of STA? It is posited Noosa has the highest density of STA in the world. Why has Council allowed this to happen? All other local governments the world over are seeking to stringently control and reduce STA. Noosa Council alone continues to promote STA expansion to the clear detriment of the community. Better to ask why Ms Maccoll, for whose benefit, certainly not their constituents. Julia Craddock, Sunshine Beach

Cows and crops Bill and Elizabeth, if you want to scoff about methane production from cattle, then please start by getting your facts straight. Cattle emit methane mainly through their belches (enteric fermentation), not farts – you are losing credibility and embarassing yourselves. (pun intended) CO2 stays in our atmosphere for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. CH4 breaks down after 12 years, but it has a warming potential 28 times that of CO2. We need to reduce these methane emissions immediately and the best way to do this is by reducing our red meat consumption significantly and replacing our milk consumption with plant-based substitutes such as soy. We have to do this collectively as individuals as there are too many vested interests for this drive to come from our government – we are allowing deforestation to clear land, the majority of which is becoming pasture for raising more cattle which produce more methane. (‘an MCG-sized area of forests and bushlands destroyed every 86 seconds’ - ref. Wilderness Society) Looking at the big picture, it must be more efficient to produce crops from land rather than raise cattle on it? Jim Bird, Mothar Mountain

On The Soapbox Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie

Net zero, bed taxes upheld Queensland councils have embraced energyefficient technologies, are considering a Bed Tax to cover tourism costs and voters will again run the how-to-vote-card gauntlet at local government election booths in 2024. These were among strong voting trends at the last week’s Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) conference in Cairns. Liveability was the theme of the event where over 200 voting delegates plus observers from the 77 councils planned their advocacy with State and Federal Governments. With 137 motions proposed by councils for the debate, Noosa Council’s two voting delegates Mayor Stewart and Deputy Mayor Wilkie plus two observers Crs Finzel and Lorentson were successful in having the five proposals endorsed by all Noosa Councillors carried by a clear majority. Housing Noosa’s motion requested the LGAQ call on the State to review their property assets and invest in affordable, social and community housing. This added weight to the existing pressure applied at a state-level to address this crisis. Draft town plan amendments from the Noosa Housing Strategy to enable partnerships with providers, offering lower than market rents, are due before end of year. Noosa’s affordable housing plans respect the shire’s modest population growth targets and carrying capacity. That said, expect pressure at high levels to open up land outside the urban footprint for development, using affordable housing as the driving argument. There are concerns about development company Stockland’s purchase of 21 hectares of rural-zoned land in Noosa Shire’s southwestern pocket in Peregian. The State Government in 2010 sidelined the Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) to permit Stockland to build the City of Aura south of Caloundra, citing affordable housing. With a predicted population of 50,000, similar to the City of Gladstone, small lot homes in Aura were last week listed from $584,236 on 280sqms to $952,656 on 374sqms. Demand is so strong in this region that market forces keep prices high. Increasing housing supply is not seen as the answer for low to middle-income families under Noosa’s Housing Strategy, nor is placing social housing on isolated, flood prone land or away from transport and other services. “Affordable housing” in this debate is as defined under the Planning Regulation 2017, where households spend no more than 30 per cent of income on housing costs. Cost/energy efficient design The second motion was to allow councils to include climate responsive (cost, water and energy-saving plus design) features for new buildings in their planning schemes. This is back to the future for those who recall water tanks and energy-saving hot water systems required on new homes in the early 2000s, before being removed by the State in 2012. Next was a similar motion calling for the adoption of the new National Construction Code, with a minimum seven-star (out of 10) sustainability rating for new buildings. There’s now more recognition of the longterm, cost-of-living savings in owning or renting smart homes, despite the higher upfront purchase cost. Wastewater reuse Next was a motion to request the State proactively support the re-use of wastewater. As several council delegates said, many local governments are already re-using wastewater and it was important to keep this issue bubbling. Locally, there has been limited wastewater re-use and the council continues talks with Unity Water about opportunities that may flow from any planned upgrades to the Noosa Water Treatment plant. A proposal two decades ago to pump Noo-

Crs Wilkie, Lorentson and Finzel at the LGAQ conference. sa’s wastewater to Lake MacDonald was rejected due to public sentiment at the time. Environmental upgrade agreements Noosa’s final motion was to have laws changed to allow councils to offer Energy Upgrade Agreements (EUA) to property owners. This is where finance company loans overcome initial sustainable design and technology upgrade costs, which are tied to the property, not the borrower, and recouped through rates at no cost to the council. Noosa community group ZEN Inc alerted Noosa Council to this option, already in place in NSW, Victoria and South Australia and offered by over 60 councils to property owners. The Queensland Government had since already moved to offer EUAs to commercial property owners as part of its Jobs and Energy Plan. The motion was amended to help ensure residential property owners could also benefit. Evolving focus After more intense floods and fires, conference debate in recent years has shifted towards adoption of renewable energy technologies and responsibly helping communities become more climate and cost-resilient as they transition towards carbon neutral. Noosa Council is trailing others around Australia that are already carbon neutral, mainly because those Local Governments do not have a landfill - which is our council’s major source of emissions - or they are investing heavily in offsets. Offsets and new waste to energy/resource technologies are considered part of Noosa’s solution. Bed tax The most vigorously-debated motion was for the State to allow councils to introduce a bed

tax for visitors, if they wished. This user-pays idea was moved by Cairns City council, where heavy visitation and a procession of large cruise ships bring thousands to the central business district, foreshore boardwalks, parks, swimming lagoon, public toilets and exercise facilities. After gaining support from their tourism stakeholders, Cairns Mayor Bob Manning said a 2.5 per cent tax on all visitor accommodation beds could be used to specifically fund highuse asset maintenance and tourism marketing. Delegates from smaller bush councils struggling to attract visitors said they would not impose the fee but also voted in favour, so they could promote their communities as no tax destinations. Like Sunshine, Gold Coast and other Councils, Noosa charges a higher rate in the dollar for short-term visitor accommodation properties, which returns $15.5 million a year in rates. The former Tourism Levy charged on all businesses was removed in mid 2021. Tourism Noosa, which receives $2.6M under the current funding agreement, has traditionally pursued the quality over quantity approach and targeted the high-yield interstate and overseas traveller. This changed during Covid where the town was temporarily promoted to the regional drive market. Since the late 1980s, the Noosa philosophy has been to ensure our natural environment was protected, and parks, gardens, boardwalks and facilities kept to a high standard, firstly out of respect for those who live here, the residents. If this was done, then it was thought visitors were bound, by default, to also enjoy the experience.

The public debate has recently shifted to seeing our assets labelled as tourism infrastructure, despite residents’ daily use. This view is respected as an expression of locals feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by the constantly high visitation experienced now. Day visitor levels remain high. The rapid population growth in neighbouring shires and throughout South-East Queensland is seen as a driving factor. The idea of a bed tax is bound to feature in the upcoming public consultation for the Noosa Destination Management Plan. The plan aims to protect what we all love about our community in the face of ever-increasing visitor numbers and other pressures. Running the guantlet The conference also blocked a proposal to have the Electoral Commission of Queensland re-introduce the 2020 Covid election measures, where candidates were banned from booths and voters were free to seek out How to Vote cards from tables, without having to “run the gauntlet”. Respect for voters’ personal space and preservation of an open democratic process are the two opposing forces in this debate, which has been contested at the conference since the early 2000s. Councillors attend these forums thanks to ratepayer-funded allowances. The LGAQ will be refining its advocacy strategy in the coming months.

Artist Beatrice Prost is holding her first retrospective of her works on aluminium at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery during November. Beatrice has worked with aluminium since 2017. Working in series, she has created more than 70 one-of-a-kind original wall pieces. Many have been included in collections and curated art shows over the years. This exhibition combines some of her very first carved artworks with her latest series.With a strong sense of design, Beatrice’s mark-making emphasises the light and patterns found in nature. As her works connect us to Australian nature, she brings the onlooker closer to the magic of our presence on earth. Beatrice’s aluminiums will be on show from 5 to 30 November in the Carriage Room of the gallery. The gallery’s Banana Shed exhibition space will host entries into the annual Great Upcycle Challenge from 2 to 13 November. Hosted by Pomona Community House, the event across Noosa Shire challenges us to come up with creative ideas on how to upcycle and diminish local waste. Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station Street Pomona. Opening hours are 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.

The Johnny Cash Special is coming to Noosa for one night only this November.

LIVE

Lincoln Howe as a young Johnny Cash, singer-songwriter Meg Ripps as June Carter.

Johnny Cash show coming The Johnny Cash Special is coming to Noosa for one night only this November. The tribute to Johnny Cash is a two-and-ahalf hour, fully produced theatre show, guaranteed to barnstorm the Australian music circuit featuring Lincoln Howe as a young Johnny Cash, singer-songwriter Meg Ripps as June Carter and the Orange Blossom Specials, a four-piece professional touring band featuring the legendary Johnny Cash sound, right down to the signature trumpets in Ring of Fire. The show is being described as ‘as close as you will get to seeing Johnny Cash again’. Leading the outfit is 27-year-old Lincoln Howe who has dedicated the last 11 years cutting his teeth in the Queensland music scene, telling Australians it’s time for a new standard

for tribute shows across the country. “I’ve spent the last 11 years getting as close as I can to delivering a performance like the Man in Black,” Mr Howe said. “In 2003, when Johnny Cash passed away, I was just eight years old, and on the day of his passing I remember hearing I Walk The Line on ABC radio like it was yesterday. “The chance to get out there and sing these songs for people is a dream come true.” Accompanied by professional touring musicians who have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in Australian music, the band tying the whole show together will deliver the original Johnny Cash sound, like no other group out there.

Playing the role of June Carter is 24-yearold singer-songwriter Meg Ripps. Placing top five in the Australian Songwriter of the Year Competition at just 15 years old, Ms Ripps said she can’t wait to get out there and take people back on a truly authentic journey, telling the story of one of a true music legend, June Carter. “A lot of people don’t know this, but while June Carter was growing up, she spent a lot of time sleeping in guitar cases on the road, performing with the first family of American Country Music, the Carter Family. “She was a comedian, a multi-instrumentalist, an actor, dancer, and performer, so I’m incredibly keen to tell that story to as many people who will listen,” Ms Ripps said.

While playing Brisbane pubs and shows from just 16 years of age, audiences have always been surprised at Mr Howe’s both choice in music and ability to deliver Johnny’s trademark sound and story, so close to the way Johnny sang it many years ago. Mr Howe says the focus has always been on authenticity and delivery. “There’s no point doing this if you’re not going to get as close you can to the artist. Every night, I try and get as close as I can to Cash, while also telling his story and paying him the respect he deserves,” Mr Howe says. The Johnny Cash Special will perform at The J Theatre in Noosa at 7.30pm on Friday 18 November. To get tickets, visit thej.com.au

Graze to aid Katie Rose aging director and chair of her family business. “In a new event concept, guests dress in white and come with their friends to enjoy a picnic under a marquee surrounded by tall, old-growth trees, listen to music from our DJ and band and order gourmet hampers to be ready at their tables when they arrive. “Hampers are being supplied by Peregian Pantry and Adriano Zumbo’s new Zumbo Test patisserie and will be chilled and ready when guests arrive, along with any pre-ordered drinks. “Sunshine and Sons have generously donated a drink on arrival for every guest and will also provide a bar on the day. “Tickets to Gather and Graze are available through the website or our Facebook page. It’s going to be a beautiful day for a wonderful, local cause,“ Ms McCready said. “We would also like to invite those individuals or business who would like to be involved in supporting the hospice’s important work, either for the upcoming event or in other ways, to contact us via our website katierosecottage.org.au.” Book tickets at events.humanitix.com/ gather-and-graze-on-the-green

Local Noosa palliative care facility Katie Rose Cottage Hospice has launched tickets to a new event, Noosa Gather and Graze on the Green on Saturday 5 November from 12-6pm. Head of fundraising and partnerships and spokesperson Leigh McCready said Katie Rose Cottage Hospice was a communityoperated palliative care facility, right here in Noosa. “It is unique in Australia, as we are primarily funded by the community, rather than by the State Government (which only contributes 14 per cent of our operational expenses) or church organisations,“ she said. “Each year, we run two large events which have the joint aims of improving education and awareness about the work we do in the community along with raising money. “In the first half of the year we run a Gala, and next month we will be hosting our first ever Noosa Gather and Graze on the Green, to be held in the fields at Noosa Dolphins Rugby Union Club. “Our event has been primarily supported by Angela Whitbread, social impact investor, philanthropist and a former man-

High tides and grey skies It certainly feels like we are in for a wet one. With weather alerts reaching mobile phones across the state the big wet was predicted to fall and it arrived as predicted. This need not mean that fishing is going to be a bad thing as this can make it excellent if you know where to go. Offshore saw a very narrow weather window at the beginning of the week due to the wind and swell. With Monday the better day, the bigger boats made the bar crossing and fished closer reefs of North and Sunshine. Cobia, sweetlip, snapper and pearlies featured along with some chunky gold spot cod and a few bite offs from school mackerel. These big bottom dwelling fish love nothing more than a big slab bait or a live bait fished on 80lb plus leaders. When chasing big fish like cod you need some heavy gear. The Wilson live fibre overhead rod has the perfect combination of a sensitive tip with piles of backbone. Pair this with a Penn Fathom lever drag and 60+lb line for a chance of stopping them. With the swell up and the rivers starting to flood the river mouth area should see fish moving down the system and holding where the cleaner saltier water comes across the bar with the spring high tides. We are a few days away from a new moon and this will see a bigger tidal range making the run out tide dirtier than the incoming tide. Flathead will probably be in bigger number from the dog beach to the river mouth. The last time we had a good rain they moved down in big numbers. Those anglers with medium weight surf combos did well casting out

A couple of nice jewfish from Noosa Charters. whole herring, hardy head and whiting baits on running sinkers rigs and a short fluorocarbon leader around 12-15lb. It is always a good idea to use some bait thread when using whole fish baits. This keeps them in place, especially if small fish are picking off your bait or it is slightly soft from defrosting. For those wanting to fish upriver you would best to try lures like smaller 3 inch paddle tail soft plastics. The dirty water will see fish using their lateral line vs eyesight in dirty water. During this time, lures with vibration are go-

ing to be the ones that stand out, especially if they are scented or are loaded with S-Factor scent. Try using Keitech, Gulp and Power bait to name a few great starting points. If you are using bait or ;lures and catching catfish then there is too much freshwater in the river and you need to concentrate your efforts further toward the river mouth. Lastly with all this rain you may find prawns and mud crabs on the move again. Now is a great time to pick up a cast net or bag of mullet heads and frames and put some pots out. Don’t forget the bigger spring tides around the

moon are upon us so tie pots or heavily weight them. The additional rainwater in the system will see stronger than usual currents and these can move unweighted pots.

Women’s Fishing Classic returns with record prizes Women from around the Sunshine Coast and greater Moreton Bay Region, including The Gold Coast are invited to take part in fishing competition offering record-breaking prizes. Participants are encouraged to register early to be apart of the upcoming annual Women’s Fishing Classic. The competition, according to Nicole, founder of WFC, is a way to connect fun, kind and like-minded women to a predominately male supported sport. Women with all skill sets are encourage to apply from the novice beginner to the fierce competitor. Families and individuals who register will receive special packs while stocks last, including brag matts, sponsor products and special draw prize entries. Upon registration, participants are in-

cluded in the WFC group with access to workshops, training videos, special invites, discounts and most importantly support and encouragement from other participants. “There has never been a better time to connect with others,“ Nicole said. “I am elated so many women and children have appreciated a women-only fishing tournament in previous years, however, I never anticipated the incredible amount of other benefits the competition has had on local businesses, tourism and the health and wellbeing of everyone included.“ In previous years, the month-long event has attracted women from Inskip Point, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and to The Tweed to support and connect with each other throughout the year. Participants make new fishing buddies and take part in invited off-shore fishing

charters or simply enjoy the feeling of overwhelming support by sharing their fishing adventures online. Last year the competition generated over $300,000 to local businesses with women’s recreational fishing on the rise, it also provides an opportunity for family fun and community spirit. The 2023 Women’s Fishing Classic has generated a substantial amount of interest for local business with sponsors welcomed to apply. The major prizes are set to be the biggest yet, with a $13,000 boat and outboard motor donated by Wynnum Marine. Winners of individual fish categories have the chance to win products and cash prizes. There are opportunities to win both offshore and land, however all- round catego-

Houseboat concern reported A regular kayaker on the Noosa River was disturbed to see the lack of action on marine dangers behind Goat Island caused by ‘derelict houseboats’ on Monday. James Nathan said a houseboat was partially submerged and another kept afloat by poorly attached 44 gallon drums. “These drums have over the last 10 days broken away from the houseboat. I have observed eight floating in the mangroves,” James said. “Today two are visible, one only just. These, particularly the partially submerged drum present an extreme danger to anyone using a boat or jet ski in the river. “I have sailed around the world and have seen at first hand the damage these things can do.” James said he reported the issue to Queensland Marine Safety Tewantin.

“I was told their hands are tied but they have spoken to the person who owns the houseboat,” he said. “I have also spoken to the Coast Guard and they say if the drums are in the mangroves it is Noosa Councils responsibility. “Someone needs to take responsibility otherwise an accident awaits.” A Noosa Council spokesman said their environmental team have discussed the issue with Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) who say they are aware of these barrels and vessels and are being actioned. The barrels are an issue for MSQ while they are causing a hazard to navigation and the environmental side of it was referred to the Department of Environment and Science (DES) for consideration.

Oliver lives Olympic dream Making the Special Olympics 2022 swimming squad was a dream come true for Oliver, who recently told his mother he was racing for his late stepfather Wayne. “I didn’t ever dream that Oliver would be able to participate in these games, but he did, and when he was training he once said ‘Mum, I want to go to the Special Olympics’,” Valerie said. “He’s been to a training camp on the Gold Coast and attended all the swimming meets and has improved so much. When he swam in Brisbane recently, he had three races and got three personal bests.” Oliver is part of the Special Olympics Queensland squad and one of nearly 1000 athletes living with an intellectual disability who converged on Launceston in Tasmania on 17 October for the 2022 Special Olympics Australian National Games. While Valerie couldn’t travel alongside Oliver to Tasmania, she flew down to be poolside and watch her 38-year-old son achieve his dream. Oliver’s father Ian, who helps transport his son to swimming training and other activities, also travelled down to watch his son compete. Oliver, who lives with Down syndrome, uses his National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports to help him train at least four times a week. He’s previously been supported to take part in the Noosa Triathlon and currently practises Tai Chi and aqua aerobics. “Oliver has always wanted to be fit and when he attends aqua aerobics, he sings all the songs and is a very special and loved member of the group,” Valerie said. “Swimming is also very good for Oliver because he has low muscle tone, in fact that’s how he got started with the sport, after the physiotherapist suggested it. “My other son Dan recently took a photo of Oliver winning a swimming race, and even though there was only one other competitor when he got to the finish line Oliver leapt out of the pool yelling ‘Yes, I came first’.” Valerie says gaining access to the NDIS had made a huge difference to her son’s life, saying he can now participate in a variety of activities every day, get involved in his local community and slowly start to become more independent. She says knowing Oliver has help also makes her feel more supported in her role as a full-time carer, particularly now she’s on her own following the passing of her partner of 20 years, Wayne. Valerie said the loss had been very tough on them both. “Wayne used to do lots of things with Oliver and was so good with him and it’s been quite difficult to cope emotionally, but Oliver and I have each other which is lovely,” Valerie said. “When he swims he often says, ‘I did that race for Wayne’ which breaks my heart but is also so lovely at the same time.” Support workers help Oliver with meal preparation, take him to drama classes and help him tend to daily tasks. He lives in a selfcontained unit attached to his mother’s house but spends the nights and mornings with Valerie. “While he has support workers to help with

Oliver also accesses NDIS supports so he can attend a local Men’s Shed, where he is currently making his mum a big potting bench so she can easily repot her orchids and other flowers. “I know he’s actually doing it because he comes home and all his clothes are covered in paint,” Valerie said. “He does something every day, including working at a cafe in Tewantin. Oliver has worked there for two years and recently progressed to working twice a week. “Often the owner turns up the music loud for Oliver to sing a song or do some hip hop dancing for customers and they give him a big applause. A little while ago a customer gave him a keyboard they weren’t using. He’s well known in the community.” Valerie said Oliver also loved drama saying to his mother that he “was born to be a star”. He recently joined a drama group through Black Box Theatre in Nambour and he’s rehearsing for a role as Peter Pan’s shadow. “Oliver has such a bright and positive personality and is particularly organised and loves being on time,” she said. “For the past four years Oliver has organised a barbecue for his friends and others with a disability and they meet at a park every second Sunday. It was Oliver who rang around everyone to let them know and then we printed off wall calendars with the meetup dates on them and sent them to his friends. “It’s quite lovely, and with the help of their NDIS-funded support workers they all get together and have a barbecue and then walk down to the marina and have ice-cream.” Valerie said she and Wayne had planned a holiday together in Fiji in 2023, and instead of cancelling the trip she decided to bring Oliver with her so they could enjoy time away together. “I was born and raised in Fiji and I thought what a lovely trip it would be with Oliver, and the Fijians are so lovely and I know they will help him on the kayaks and other water sports,” she said. “As I get older I’m so pleased to know that Oliver is being supported by the NDIS to live the life he wants. Quite simply Oliver loves life, and as a parent and caregiver that makes everything worthwhile. “My advice to other parents is that when there are hard times and you don’t think that they can achieve something, hang in there. People with disability can achieve so much if you believe in them and encourage them. I’m so proud of Oliver.” To access assistance for people with disabilities contact Carers Queensland on 1300 999 636 or email cq.enquiries@ndis.gov.au

Star swimmers in quest for Israel By Ian Jobling Teenage champion swimmers, Kilian Carrel and Thomas Raymond, have their eyes set on competing in the 10 km open water event at the FINA Marathon Swim World Cup Series in Israel in November. At the Australian Open Water Championships in Adelaide in March, Kilian and Tom, both from Noosa, dominated the junior (19 yrs) 10km race, placing first and second, respectively. Three months later they paid their own way to Paris to gain experience by swimming against 50 open age swimmers in leg two of the World Cup Series. Now they want to add to that experience and prepare for the Australian titles in January by racing in the final leg of the Marathon Swim World Cup series to be held in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Eilat in November. A problem is that they used up their funds to go to Paris and they are now seeking community support to go to Israel. “This is the first time we have tried to raise money to go to competitions,” Kilian told Noosa Today. “Previously, Tom and I have relied on grants, scholarships and help from our parents.” International and Olympic swimming coach, John JR Rodgers was impressed by Kilian and Tom’s performances in Adelaide and France and he is encouraging them to seek financial support. JR says: “The World Cup in Israel is the final event before the Australian Titles in January, and this race will enhance their racing competitiveness. Tom and Killian train with diligence in their desire to succeed. They have shown great initiative in trying to self-fund for their trip to Israel.” Tom and Kilian are training 10 times a week at the Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC). for about 2.5 hours each session. Tom is an Arts student at Griffith University who plans to become a jeweller. Kilian, who also competes in surflifesaving at Noosa Heads SLSC, is starting his own business as a private learn-to-swim teacher. Readers who want to help these star athletes can purchase raffle tickets with 10 prizes valued at approximately $2000, through the Noosa Swimming Club Instagram account at instagram.com/noosaswimmingclub?igshid= YmMyMTA2M2Y= Or why not have a coffee at the NAC and see them after a training session (about 7.30am and 5.30pm daily except Wednesday and Sundays) [Dr Ian Jobling is Honorary Director of the UQ Centre of Olympic and Paralympic Studies]

In 2020, a group of Sunshine Coast locals completed 42 laps of Mt Coolum over five days, accumulating the height of Mt Everest, and raising awareness and much needed funds for Australian research for Parkinson’s Disease. Organiser Gary McKitterick Gillett from Trek Ready Himalayas said they are now planning to go to Mt Everest Base Camp in April 2023, and this time they would be joined by someone with Parkinson’s Disease. Sunshine Coast local Sandra Gerswitch has Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD), which means she was diagnosed at just 45 years of age. Sandra is an inspiration to all and especially newly diagnosed Australians. She is setting an example for all to lead a healthy and active lifestyle and explore the world, by challenging herself to trek to Mt Everest Base Camp. Sandra said, “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to challenge myself and to be in a team, inspire others living with YOPD, and raise awareness of Parkinson’s Disease in the community.“ Gary said Parkinson’s Disease (PD) was not just an old person’s disease. “20 per cent of all sufferers are diagnosed under 50 years of age. Michael J Fox was diagnosed at just 29 years of age,“ he said. “Trek for Parkinson’s is all about helping to find a cure for PD by supporting Shake It Up Australia, who fund Australian research to help find a cure. “We are getting closer, but need more help. 100 per cent of all donations and funds raised go to Shake It Up Australia.“ “We look forward to partnering with business to help bring an end to Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease.“ To make a donation visit our-fundraisers.raisely.com/virtual-everesttrek-2022 Purchase a $10 raffle ticket to go into the draw to win a Thermomix at trekforparkinsonsaustraliathermomixraffle. floktu.com/ All profit goes to Shake It Up Foundation Australia Research for Parkinson’s Disease.

Hill climbers rejoice The relentless monsoonal downpour did not deter or dampen the enthusiasm of the 129 competition drivers attending the 25th anniversary meeting last weekend at Gyndier Drive, Tewantin, home of the Noosa Hill Climb event. Coastline BMW, the main event sponsor, set up a splendid six car static display and enticed nine owners of M series cars to join in the challenge of racing The Hill. There is no better way for the 50th Anniversary of the M series to be celebrated than by uphill racing. It was a baptism of torrential rain, a white knuckle ride definitely not for the faint hearted. The huge volume of rain deterred some of the open wheeler cars but not all. Dave Millington raced both days in his Formula Vee TT101 and took first place in category. Always an interesting array of vehicles in the competition, on track this year included a VW Kombi van, a 1947 Austin Seven, a Mini Cooper S, a Porsche 911 GT3, a Ford Focus XR5, a WRX STi, and a McLaren 620R. Several Lotus, Mustangs and plenty of BMW’s also joined the field. The Driving Divas were well represented at this event, as five ladies entered the competition, a record number at The Hill. Who else would drive a pink Toyota Celica except Krystal? Also racing were two Formula Student groups from Dalby High School and Sunshine Beach High School. In the Regulatory category, Ken Northduff, driving a 1955 FJ Holden reigned supreme taking first place honours. Dave Millington from Noosa Beach Car Club took out first place in the Formula Open Wheelers and Adrian Reed from Reed and Co stepped up as First Place Outright Winner driving an Audi S5.

Cricket a washout By Randall Woodley

Cricket players and supporters had to be satisfied with watching the World Cup T20 Cricket or Women’s BBL on television last weekend as all planned fixtures matches on the Sunshine Coast were cancelled due to the weather. This was disappointing after all six senior Tewantin-Thunder teams had won their matches the previous weekend and confidence was very high in all grades of repeating the results again. As well as the First Graders match against Caloundra at Read Park on Saturday, which they were expected to win, the semi-finals of the T20 Competition to be played on the Sunday were also postponed. These will now be played at a later date. The junior fixtures on the Saturday and the Master Blasters Friday night matches also had to be cancelled, disappointing many of the eager young cricketers. Nest weekend the planned fixtures are as follows. (Note Grades 2 and 3 play on both Saturday and Sunday). FIRST GRADE Saturday V Caboolture at Caboolture10am start SECOND GRADE Saturday V Palmwoods at Read Park Sunday V Nambour at Nambour Show Grounds THRID GRADE Saturday V Palmwoods at Palmwoods Sunday V USC at Dale Officer Oval FIFTH GRADE Saturday V Wamuran at Dale Officer Oval SIXTH GRADE Saturday V Nambour at Mat Thornhill Oval WOMENS Sunday V Glasshouse Gold at Read Park -10am start JUNIOR MATCHES as per fixture schedule -will start on Saturday at 7.45am

Competitor Justin McCarthy takes a break.

Smashers claim unlikely title in table tennis grand final Finals night at the Noosa Table Tennis Club was supposed to be a straightforward affair, on paper at least. It was a clash between a David and Goliath – a clash between the Vipers who were undefeated throughout the rounds and the Smashers who had struggled just to get into the finals. It was said the Vipers would only need to turn up to take the title. Things started off uneventfully. The early part of the clash between this David and Goliath went accordingly to form with the score at 3-3 all, then 4-4 all. A critical turning point was now reached. In a match where the combatants were evenly matched the Smashers’ Alan Franks defeated the Vipers’ Chris Strybos to put the Smashers ahead with an improbable 5-4 lead. And there was more to come. In a crucial doubles match the Smashers’ Alan Lawson and Joe Laffey just squeezed past the Vipers’ Eli Kalugin and Blake Wyer winning 13-11 in the fifth game. Surprisingly the underdog Smashers had now skipped ahead to hang onto a slender 7-6 lead. The unthinkable was suddenly becoming thinkable. The Smashers dared to think they were in with a chance. It was then the Vipers inexplicably collapsed, losing the next 4 singles to surrender the crown they thought was theirs for the taking. In the end the Smashers had snatched the title from their betters in a comfortable 11-7. Things had not played out according to the script. And Man of the Match? 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 October, 2022

Margot Tredinnick was recognised for her efforts in Pickleball.

The season kicks off at Noosa Barbell Weightlifting club.

A Cooly Gold to remember The recent Coolangatta Gold has definitely turned out to be one to remember for the Sunshine Coast sporting fraternity. First was the fact that Noosa’s Carla Papac, coached by Darren Mercer, won the event for the first time. Second was the performance of third lady on the podium, Lana Rogers who finished just behind second placegetter, the legendary Courtney Hancock. To make it even better for Carla, this young lady was competing against a hot field, including four times winner Courtney Hancock and another winner Lana Rogers. Carla, who won an Australian U16 Iron Woman title, admits her parents were her biggest inspiration. “Dad taught me to work hard and Mum taught how to control my mind,” she said. With a mental approach such as this, and legendary coach Darren Mercer coaching, who knows what achievements lay ahead for this young clubbie. For Lana Rogers, this race was definitely to be the ultimate challenge of her career. Last season’s Coolangatta Gold had been an absolute disaster. Injuries plus Covid saw her fail to complete both the Gold and the Nutri Grain Ironwoman Series. With her fitness at an all-time low, and her self- esteem and confidence fast becoming a thing of the past, her mental demons were on the move. With her coach Sharlene Kelly, plus family and close supporters ever present, she decided to fight back and enter this year’s Gold. “I didn’t enter to win. It was more important to prove to myself that I could enter and finish the course.” To not only finish but also finish on the podium, was absolutely unbelievable. “My demons are shattered and I feel I am getting back to my old self. Also, a big thank you to my family, coach and all who still believed in me,” she said. Ladies in surf life saving On the Sunshine Coast the ladies in the surf lifesaving competition arena are this year really making their presence felt. First there is that dedicated Open Women’s Surf Boat Crew, the Bandits. They gained respect this season by continuing to travel from Yeppoon to the Noosa Heads Surf Club, a seven-hour drive, just to row as a boat crew, for the Noosa club. On top of this they also perform their duties as patrol members. Their dedicated performance not only to boat rowing, but also their patrol duties in both Noosa and their home club, Yeppoon SLSC ( as required in dual club membership) is setting a standard for loyalty that is second to none. Definitely, the talk of the coast. Then, of course, there was the outstanding performance in the Coolangatta Gold Elite Women’s event. Carla Papac of the Noosa Club

Carla Papac crosses the finish line at the Coolangatta Gold. finished first and Lana Rogers of Alex third. Then earlier in the season for what was just the second time in Queensland Life Saving, a female member was elected to the position of club Surf Boat Captain. The young lady was Jessica Arvella of the Coolum Beach Surf Life Saving Club. “When asked if I would be prepared to stand for the job, I wasn’t sure. “For years the boat section in surf club was always very male-orientated. However, Davy Tomba a highly experienced and respected boat sweep conducted a survey amongst members and they were all in favour of my standing. “I stood, and was appointed.” It is Jessica’s opinion that a good boat crew is great for a community as it shows a team spirit within the club. “Boat crews learn to think of others and not just themselves. With a wide range of crews, it will create a great balance amongst the members of the Coolum club.” Under her leadership they have worked on creating women’s open, reserve and U23s, crews. In the men’s division, it is the U19 and U23s. With these crews established and consolidated, the balance that Jessica is aiming for in the club is sure to become a reality. For Jessica who got her bronze at Corrimal Club in 2009, her interest in boats started the same year after watching a lady named Courtney, who she knew, rowing at a carnival in NSW.

“This really inspired me and got me rowing and now, by a strange twist of fate we are both members of Coolum.” With regard to the future Jessica said, “The number of crews have increased and this is mainly due to the sweeps training programs that have been organised and conducted.” Away from lifesaving she works in Marine Conservation, an occupation which can cover all regions of Australia. We wish her well in both her profession and her sport. Pickleball honours The recent Australian National Pickleball Championships held in Brisbane saw 450 competitors from all over the country take part. This enrolment made it the biggest Pickleball tournament to be held in the Southern Hemisphere. The game which was first played in America in 1965 and introduced into Australia in 2015, is now played world-wide. The year 2020 saw the game registered as the Pickleball Association of Australia. It now caters for players aged from nine to 90 and can be played indoor and outdoor. Competing in 20 different divisions, the Noosa team came home from the Nationals with a total of 20 medals: four gold, eight silver and eight bronze. For such a young club this has been a great result. But the proudest achievement was having one of the clubs’ founding members, Margot Tredinnick, receive the Pickleball Association of Australia inaugural Spirit of Pickleball Award.

This was in recognition of the work Margot has done facilitating the training and development of referees throughout Australia in the last 18 months, as well as helping to formulate the National Officiating Program for Australian Pickleball. Margot was also recently appointed National Officiating Secretariat. Congratulations for a job well done. Weightlifting The senior season has now begun for the Noosa Barbell Weight Lifting Club. According to the club flyer, the season which kicked off last weekend, was looking good for the clubs’ senior members, who competed in the Queensland state titles. These were held in Brisbane at the Cougars Weightlifting club. Zac Schwitter M81 who competed on Saturday afternoon, snatching 110kg then clean and jerking 137kg for a total of 147 kg earning him 4th place. Two weeks prior to the State Titles the club hosted its annual Bush Turkey Cup. This also doubled as a Queensland club round. This saw all clubs in Queensland compete on the same day, and awarded points on the results of their club members. With a massive turn out from the club, Noosa Barbell Club won the overall points tally for round 3 of the Queensland club round. The competition itself saw 15 people compete, with all producing fantastic results: with first timers competing and season competitors putting up some huge numbers. For the Barbell club, it is now training hard in preparation for its Christmas competition. Good luck to all. Friday, 28 October, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 45

Midget Awards go political Possibly overwhelmed by the solemn, booklined gentility of the Jubilee Room at the NSW Parliament last week, Tom Carroll, this year’s recipient of the prestigious Midget Farrelly Lifetime Achievement award, revealed in his acceptance speech that he had gone to ballet school to learn how to emulate the great Farrelly’s “dance on the surfboard”. In all the years I’ve known the surfing legend and two-times world champion, and all the interviews I’ve done with him, I’d never heard that one. But it was singularly appropriate because it helped explain to a room full of politicians the enigma of Farrelly, surfing’s first world champion who passed away in 2016. Often awkward and occasionally nerdish on land, on water Midget walked the board with grace and poise that few others could emulate. But Tom Carroll did, after his lessons, and it brought him his first world title. I’ve been involved with the Midget Awards as part of the selection panel since Surfing NSW instigated them in 2018 in memory of Midget, but this was a very special one. Not only was it a double-bunger, with the 2021 recipient, 1990 world champion Pam Burridge also receiving her award following last year’s Covid cancellation, but the venue change to Parliament House, at the invitation of the Parliamentary Friends of Surfing group, underlined the seriousness of the other part of the agenda – a celebration of the achievement of gender equality in amateur and professional surfing. Pam wasn’t the first woman to receive a Midget award – seven-times world champion Layne Beachley was the first recipient back in 2018 – but her post-pro tour career of a quarter century devoted to developing women’s surfing at all ages and abilities made it the perfect ramp into a wide-ranging panel discussion of initiatives like Surfing NSW’s Her Wave program, which Parliamentary Friends founder and current NSW Environment Minister James Griffin pledged to further support. Also on the panel was newly appointed delegate to the Olympic Program Commission, former junior world champion, Tokyo Olympian and current world tour surfer Sally Fitzgibbons. “Surfing NSW and its network of government and corporate supporters has always provided people like me from coastal communities the opportunity to be part of world-class events,” Fitgibbons said. “And now, via programs like Her Wave, it is encouraging more girls and women than ever to get healthy and be involved.” In accepting her award, Mollymook’s Pam Burridge said: “I feel very privileged to stand here in Parliament House to receive this award. I feel so connected to Midget, he did so much to inspire me as a competitor, to run a busi46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 28 October, 2022

Burridge barrel. ness making surfboards. “Surfing has given me everything,” said the champion who overcame addiction to win a world title and then become an iconic figure in women’s surfing. Layne Beachley, chair of Surfing Australia, said it was entirely appropriate that women should be in the spotlight at the Midget Awards’ first visit to the Parliament. “Gender equality in surfing hasn’t come easy, and there’s still work to be done, but it’s a privilege to be sitting here today with the people who have the power to help us make that happen.” But it wasn’t all about the women. Outside of Sydney, the Midget Awards are sometimes critiqued for being too state-based, requiring the recipient to have been born in NSW. But acting chair of Surfing NSW, Harry Hodge produced some statistics that floored several in the room, including your blueturned maroon columnist.

TC off the bottom at big Sunset.

“Since 1964, 103 world titles of surfing have been decided,” Hodge said. “Out of those, 37, or more than a third, have been won by NSW surfers. That’s more than any country or state in the world.” That’s a remarkable success story. In Queensland we tend to think that we have the conditions that breed champions, but even some of ours are actually theirs. Mick Fanning was born in Penrith and eight-times world champ Steph Gilmore lives and was born just across the border in the Tweed. Damn! Hodge continued: “What Surfing NSW does is provide critical pathways that enable this kind of success through our initiatives that support every aspect of surfing from kids through to adults. “Our partnership with the NSW Government is crucial to ensure we can continue to deliver world-class events, community programs and athlete pathways.”

After the formalities concluded I took the opportunity to spend some time with Midget’s family, daughter Johanna who has the casting vote on our selection panel, and her mother Beverlie, who I’ve known for decades and who still misses her husband of half a century every day. All the Farrelly women, including absent daughters Priscilla and Lucy, are strong-willed, spirited and absolutely charming. And I know that they are delighted that the Midget Awards not only keep his spirit alive, but also shine a light on the benefits of the surfing life to the broader community.

NOOSA AGENCY CELEBRATES 30 YEARS PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IN 1986 when young Tom Offermann started his real estate career in Hastings Street, he learned there were no shortcuts or silver bullets to success. Knuckling down, looking after people and doing the hard yards, every day was the only way forward. There were 13 agencies in the same street selling the same properties, no exclusive listings, computers, faxes or mobile phones, instead handwriting letters which the receptionist typed, using lots of white out. Photos took a week to process at the photo lab, before posting to interstate buyers. “Like taxis we cleaned our cars every morning and would drive buyers around to listings sometimes for days,” recalled Tom adding, “at the end of which they would come to the office (if you were lucky) with a bottle of wine, saying, ‘Tom, you’ve been great, we might leave it this time until next Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

year, and see you again’. “My first sale was a three-bedroom unit in the Leilani complex on Weyba Road for $31,200, and man, was I excited.” In 1992 Tom Offermann decided to open his own agency on Noosa Parade in Quamby Place. “The office fit-out was very different. It looked more like a rainforest, with dark green walls and carpet. I know now we overdid the branding colours internally, but people were polite, often describing it as ‘interesting’. “Prices back them look so cheap but to outsiders buying here they were expensive; however, those desirous of living in one of the most amazing places in the world should expect to pay a little premium.” A snapshot of prices in 1992 includes 25 Witta Circle, Noosa Sound, which sold for $265,00, today it is $15m-plus; 3 Leeside Place, Noosa Waters, sold for $160,000, today $3m-plus; 13A Webb Road, Sunshine Beach, sold for $270,00, today $8m-plus; 58 Tingira Crescent, Sunrise Beach, on the beachfront sold for $390,000; and a Fairshore apartment on Hastings Street was sold for $385,000. In 2002 Tom Offermann Real Estate opened in Hastings Street. Then, in mid 2021, Tom turned to local designer Gavin Maddock with plans to celebrate his 30-year business milestone

in 2022, by taking everything up a level in Quamby Place. Capturing natural sunlight was foremost in the design outcomes. Tom said “he envisaged shafts of ever-changing light flooding through both levels, so visitors entering the lower level, would be greeted by a beautiful structure bathed in natural light. Eight sculptures were commissioned from internationally recognised Andrew Rogers whose work Rhythms of Life, is the largest contemporary land art undertaking in the world, and Tom met more than 20 years ago. Andrew was admiring Cook & Banks, the two bronze statues commissioned in 1997, prominently positioned outside the office. Visitors are often seen posing with the first privately funded pieces of civic art in Noosa by day, and late-night revellers have been known to dress them in party gear. It was painstaking meticulous work with the stonemasons taking almost a year to complete the staircase and floors in Daino Reale marble from Sardinia. “Opening it to the sky was achieved by re-engineering the entire roof and replacing it with 44mm thick glass, and then adding a usually hidden awning, which slithers across the glass if needed to control light levels as required.” State-of-the-art luxury did not stop

with the bespoke staircase. It continued into the VIP-style client lounge areas, also numerous workstations for some lucky agents. The sophisticated terrace is also fitted with a glass roof, while herringbone dark oak timber floors, silk rugs and wispy Italian curtains perfectly complement the dark oak custom cabinetry, bespoke sofas, also sculptures and artworks. “We wanted to create an enjoyable space for clients to feel very special and agents totally proud,” explained Tom adding “the solid stone stairs had to be the real deal, not skin deep nor artificial, and be an artwork within itself enduring decades, hopefully a century. “It’s heartwarming to have daughter Rebekah working in the company, and who knows the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren might one day be walking these very steps in the business.” INTERSTATE BUYERS ON RISE Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville at Noosa Estate Agents report good numbers at open homes over the past two weeks, far busier than past two to three months. “People seem to more active,’’ Scott said. “They have been waiting to come up, waiting for the holidays to end and cheaper air fares. “They are wanting to come and inspect.’’ That has seen 14 and 15 groups at 44 Allambi Tce, Noosa Heads, over consecutive weekends. The three-bedroom house with office, two bathrooms and pool, is set for auction on Saturday, November 12, at 3pm.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 44 Allambi Tce, Noosa Heads, goes to auction Saturday, November 12, at 3pm. 304313

“There have been a lot of interstate calls,’’ Scott said, “and inspections - people from Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. “There has also been New Zealand and Brisbane interest as well as locals moving closer to shops and services or downsizing. “It’s a nice home. It has everything you could need - a nice big office with external entry, two good-sized living rooms with good separation.’’ The house is really well presented, Scott said, with full floor-to-ceiling marble-tiled bathrooms, quality appliances and bench tops in the kitchen. “It has a lot of character with rich timber floors and natural light … every window has a garden outlook.’’ A spacious living/dining zone flows out to a covered entertaining area by the in-ground pool and landscaped gardens. Meanwhile a three-bedroom, threebathroom house with pool at 5 Limosa Cct, Noosaville, is getting good numbers as well. Sam Plummer and Angela Wood at Noosa Estate Agents are taking it to auction at 4pm on Monday, November 7. RAIN NOT A DAMPENER There was a huge turn-out despite the rain last Friday to the auction of a three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit at Cooroy. Jeanette and Mario Catalano at Hinternoosa saw seven registered bidders at U6/13-15 Wattle St. “It was nice and cosy in the unit,’’ Jeanette said. “Most bidders were active but it came down to just two at the end.

“Gordon Macdonald was the auctioneer and the hammer came down at $765,000. “Both the buyers and the sellers are very happy.’’ The buyers had recently sold in Noosa’s eastern beaches and moved to Cooroy to be closer to their parents. A big attraction was the size of the unit, being on one level and so close to town services. AUCTION ACTION ON THE HILL Kate Cox and Tony Cox at Reed & Co had success at auction last Saturday with their Noosa Hill Resort apartment selling for a record price for the complex. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse 5/26 Noosa Dve, Noosa Heads, saw three registered bidders from interstate. All had flown up previously and were on the phones on the day, so the room was full of real estate agents taking their calls. Bidders were from Victoria and New South Wales, with all in the race until the end. It sold to Sydney buyers for $1.610m. Team Cox saw another apartment in Noosa Hill resort go unconditional the day prior. Apartment 30 had two interested parties and this time it was a Melbourne buyer who picked up the keys. HINTERLAND HAVEN Bettina Mertel at Laguna Real Estate is marketing a hinterland hide-away - a twolevel home on 7132sq m that is private but with a great outlook. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom

house with pool, sheds, nine-car garaging on 7132sq m at 57 Youngs Dve, Doonan, is for sale at offers over $1.950m. It had a fabulous extension in 2016, Bettina said. “The timber floors are a feature. An office is on the ground level with separate entry. “There is a north-facing pool while the home features automated blinds and a cantilevered Italian granite bench in kitchen.’’ There are three worksheds on the property, a bore, and a bitumen drive leading up to a second building. Bettina has also listed an older-style home in Noosa Heads. The property at 10 Allambi Tce is up high on the hill and been in the same family 40 years. It enjoys views to Sunrise Beach and has ocean glimpses.

Immaculately presented there is no money to be spent, and fully furnished you can rent out immediately or move straight in - current long-term investor owner of 25 years has holiday let for income, and it is certainly in the more prime position for this purpose and would also make a fabulous weekender/holiday home for a city or country dweller. Located in a boutique complex of only

4 - there are lush tropical gardens and a communal inground pool onsite, plus it is pet-friendly (stbca). So close to the beach and village, you will rarely need to use the car, nor will you have to walk far; the convenience is exceptional. Wake to the sound and the sight of the sea, if you’re up early enough you can admire a spectacular sunrise over your morning cuppa, and at certain times of the year you may even spot the humpback whales on their migratory journey from the comfort and privacy of your sundrenched terrace. Sound inviting? First time to market for quarter of a century; this will attract masses of attention from buyers across the nation. Make it yours, it’s an investment not only

in a blue-chip location that rises in value across all market conditions, but it’s also an investment in your very best life. Elegant, light-filled apartment opposite park 50-metres to surf club and patrolled beach Glorious white water views, gentle breezes Fully furnished, tasteful fresh crisp decor 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sunken lounge Quality kitchen, expansive alfresco terrace Boutique complex of only 4 - pool onsite Tightly held for 25 years by current owner ●
