Christmas cheer is here The festive spirit hit the streets of Noosa this week when the Connecting Noosa Christmas Convoy travelled the length and breadth of the shire to deliver Christmas cheer.

Now in its third year, the festive convoy brought together Noosa Council, emergency services and partners who filled emergency vehicles that travelled the streets with lights flashing and sirens blaring, delighting residents who came out to wave them on.

Kicking off at the Apollonian Hotel in Boreen Point Monday afternoon the convoy, led by Santa, included vehicles from Queensland Police, QFES, QAS, SES, Rural Firefighters, Lifeflight, Noosa Coastguard, Noosa Council, Madill Motor Group and HOT91.

Miracle meeting

By Margie Maccoll Seventy-year-old Arthur Kelly has no memory of being in a serious three-car accident on the Sunshine Motorway on 15 March, of sustaining catastrophic injuries or of dying while trapped in his vehicle, but on Friday he and his wife Aileen thanked the medics who saved both of them.

The couple were in a 100km/hr zone driving to the beach for their regular morning walk just before 7am. Their dash cam revealed another car had crossed into their lane knocking them sideways into the path of an oncoming vehicle that impacted on the driver’s side.

Aileen thinks she was looking down at the time and didn’t see the accident but remembers a “big noise“.

“I saw Arthur sit up then he just slowly started sinking down. I didn’t realise at the time, he was actually passing away,“ she said.

“There was a person I didn’t know trying to yank open the door to get to him. The gentle-

man was saying ’stay with us’. I was saying ’it’s OK, stay awake’.“ Last Friday at Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) the couple was reunited with paramedics who resuscitated Arthur at the scene of the accident and the medical team that treated him on his arrival to hospital.

Critical care paramedic Erin McDonald said Arthur was “as unwell as you can get“ when the ambulance arrived at the accident.

“His injuries were numerous, all of them life threatening,“ she said.

“It’s a miracle Arthur is alive today.

“When we first approached he had an altered level of consciousness, difficulty breathing ... then, cardiac arrest. We removed him from the vehicle and resuscitated him,“ she said.

“It was incredibly challenging. We were concerned he would not make it to the hospital.“ SCUH trauma nurse Melanie Procter had

five minutes’ warning from paramedics of Arthur’s arrival - “major car crash - trauma - patient extremely unstable“.

We have a trauma response, a whole of hospital response that includes ICU, anaesthetic, surgery and orthopaedic teams, she said.

Medical director of trauma Dr Andrew Hobbins King said Arthur arrived with “catastrophic injuries“, conscious, with a low blood pressure and had difficulty breathing.

Paramedics had performed a chest decompression, a life-saving procedure to insert a needle into his chest to release air pressure, prior to his arrival.

The medical team put Arthur to sleep, intubated him and took a chest X-ray that revealed the car accident has caused catastrophic injuries to his aorta, the main artery in the body, Dr Hobbin King said.

With a vascular surgeon in attendance they transferred Arthur immediately to the operating theatre for surgery to repair his aorta, then

moved him to ICU. “This was a wonderful example of when everything works so perfectly together,“ Dr Hobbins King said. “It was extremely streamlined and very calm.“ Arthur had fractures to his ribs, collarbone, spine and pelvis as well as injuries to his bowels and kidneys requiring further surgeries, medical treatment, physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

“The change from coming in is an absolute miracle,“ Dr Hobbins King said.

During his treatment Arthur had been told they’d had other patients with similar injuries, he was the first one alive today.

“I feel really well. I’m so grateful. I only found out today I did pass away. We have 10 grandchildren. I’m grateful for every single day,“ he said.

“I realised how blessed we are. I’m amazed myself how quickly I’ve recovered.”

LifeFlight crew work in difficult terrain to rescue a woman after a fall.

The injured woman is secured in the rescue helicopter.

Walker was winched out The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew winched a woman to safety, after she reportedly fell at least seven metres from a cliff in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland on Sunday.

It’s believed the woman, aged in her 40s, was walking with a friend at a popular waterfall, when she slipped and plunged several metres, before landing on a cliff ledge.

The rescue chopper was called to assist, just before 11am Sunday, 4th December, as part of the multi-agency effort to rescue the woman.

Due to the difficult to access terrain, it was decided it was safest to winch the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic down to the patient.

Local QAS paramedics were also on the ground, assisting the injured walker.

At the scene, the medical team treated her for head and spinal injuries before she was secured into a stretcher and moved to a clearing nearby.

She and the Critical Care Doctor were then hoisted up into the helicopter, hovering above.

The QAS Flight Paramedic was also winched back to the aircraft.

The patient was flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition for further treatment.

It’s not definite, but Noosa’s free weekend bus service is on the cards for the next 12 months after bus patronage over the first year’s trial increased significantly and feedback from surveys showed people were happy to use it.

Going by council figures, it took people a month to get used to, then it has just continued to climb. In August, for example, weekend bus passengers grew from just over 6000 in 2021 to more than 14,300 in 2022 - a 137 per cent increase.

That has to be having some impact on traffic congestion.

And as an unexpected bonus, Pomona Chamber of Commerce said the free buses were lessening social isolation among seniors by giving them easy access to Noosa Civic and Noosa Junction cinema and had been popular with young people in the hinterland, making it easier for them to access attractions on the coast.

The only negative comments came from the service not being extended to Peregian Beach but there’s hope that will happen in the not too distant future when Translink changes its ticketing so , travellers on services that extend outside the shire are able to access free travel on that leg of the journey within the shire.

The cost for year is about $200,000 and the go-ahead rests on council sign off and Translink agreement.

Sunnywood on the coast?

Calling all screen creatives, cast and crew: are you the Sunshine Coast’s next big thing in film or TV? The Sunny Coast Showdown returns next month with a mission to turn the Sunshine Coast into Sunnywood and to launch new stars of the big and small screens.

The screen incubator and festival, introduced in 2021, is the brainchild of Powderfinger’s Jon Coghill and former USA Survivor producer Dan Munday who, together with the Sunshine Coast Screen Collective, are striving to boost the local film and TV industry.

The 2023 event will be bigger and better but the idea is still the same - to give local screenwriters, filmmakers, cast and crew an opportunity to produce and deliver great projects and showcase them at a community festival event. Jon believes the inaugural event proved its worth after three of its winning projects received acclaim or attracted further attention.

“Our two unscripted projects – Ballet Dads and The Recipe Collector - have been optioned by major Australian production houses and the short film, Life In Two Words, received an honorary mention at the Berlin International Art Film Festival,” he said.

“This is an outstanding result that proves there are awesome creatives, crew and cast on the coast just waiting to be discovered.”

Jon hopes the event will attract anyone with a desire to make great films and TV. “Anyone who can write a short film script, a music video treatment or an unscripted pitch or treatment, has the opportunity to bring their work to life when submissions open in January 2023,” he said.

“We’re also calling for cast and crew who are keen to be part of making some magical moments.”

The Showdown is offering tens of thousands of dollars in production funding across

Showcase Night 2021. multiple categories, with the aim of inspiring and mentoring the next generation of talented locals.

Dan Munday said the event aimed to further kickstart a healthy and vibrant screen industry in the region. “Showdown has helped connect the talent we already have on the coast and aims to act as a beacon for media executives, developers, talent and governing bodies to gather around.

“It’s part of a grander ambition - to develop a Sunshine Coast film industry employing

Pictures: SUPPLIED local workers and businesses and attracting world-class projects.”

The Sunny Coast Showdown 2023 will feature two new categories – a local Indigenous project and a Powderfinger music video.

“We feel that local Indigenous stories haven’t been told enough on screen and would love to help them be seen and heard wider afield,” Jon Coghill said.

“Powderfinger have kindly donated the use of two songs from their multi-platinum album, Vulture St. You can submit treatments for one

Competitors on the Mission Man shoot, 2021. of two songs, either Rockin’ Rocks and A Song Called Everything.”

Submissions for Showdown 2023 open 23 January 2023 and will feature six categories: Two scripted short films.

One local Indigenous project.

One Powderfinger music video.

Two unscripted projects.

The final projects will be showcased at Sunny Coast Showdown festival event, scheduled for late June 2023.

Contract for repairs to lock wear and tear Noosa Council has awarded the contract to repair the Noosa Waters Lock and Weir System to sole Kellybourke at a cost of about $1,822,000 with the total amount to be funded by the levy paid by the estate’s waterfront residents.

The Noosa Waters Lock and Weir System was built when the estate was established, and first commissioned in 1991, then gifted to Noosa Council.

The lock and weir system is chiefly comprised of an automated lock that allows passage for vessels, irrespective of tide conditions, into and out of the canal linking the estate waters with the Noosa River, a weir that maintains a consistent water level within the canal system, jetties either side of the lock to cater for boat users, and a salinity transfer system that pumps saltwater from the Noosa River to the headwaters of the canal.

All elements of the lock and weir system are maintained by Noosa Council with fund-

ing for operational works secured through a specific levy imposed on Noosa Waters’ residents for this purpose.

A condition assessment in 2020 identified the need for extensive renewal works along with replacement of a number of critical elements, including the lock gates and actuator motors in order to extend its usable life.

At a Special Meeting held last week council staff said the unique nature of the equipment involved and the need for a detailed construction methodology led them to seek a specialist contractor with the expertise to undertake the design and construction activities required in order to achieve the refurbishment outcomes.

Staff considered the tender from Kellybourke, despite being almost $850,000 over budget, was “reasonable, given the design, the methodology of construction needed and current market considerations for public works pricing“.

With not enough money in the levy budget to cover the work council will fund the shortfall of more than $800,000 with the money to be refunded over several years through an increased levy, staff said.

“If we don’t do the work, the lock and weir could fail.“ The meeting heard the lock gate and machinery had to be ordered from overseas and would take about seven months to be delivered.

Once the parts arrive, the lock and weir would be closed for a period of three to four months while the repairs were undertaken.

“Users will have to make other arrangements,“ staff said.

The Noosa Waters Residents Association (NWRA) was consulted on the project and additional costs at their annual general meeting on 13 November and the president was to be updated on council’s decision.

Meeting his rescuers

Traffic is now free to move over the completed Cooroy Belli Creek Bridge.

Cooroy Belli Creek Bridge now opened The Cooroy Belli Creek Road Bridge replacement in Cooroy is complete, with the road now open to motorists.

The new two-lane, $1.3 million bridge is wider, safer and stronger, having been constructed with a 100-year life design to reduce long-term maintenance and operational costs.

The original 9.7 metre timber bridge, built in 1929, was the oldest bridge maintained by Noosa Shire Council.

Regional Development, Local Government and Territories Minister Kristy McBain said the Australian Government contributed $450,000 to the construction costs of this project, through the Bridges Renewal Program.

12572837-HC43-22

“The Cooroy Belli Creek Bridge project is another step forward in the Australian Government’s Bridges Renewal Program,“ she said.

“With the Covid-19 pandemic and natural disasters such as flooding continuing to place pressure on supply chains, upgrading and replacing bridges to connect communities and reduce freight costs for businesses has never been more important.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said this was the third bridge to be improved in the hinterland in the past 18 months.

“The Cooroy Belli Creek Road Bridge plays a critical role in the region’s rural road network west of Cooroy, with about 1700 vehicles per

day using the bridge to access supplies and services,“ she said.

“We understand that the bridge closure has impacted the daily travel patterns of residents, and we thank them for their patience and understanding during the construction of this critical piece of infrastructure.

“I would also like to thank council’s staff and contractors who worked hard to deliver the project within five months given the challenging weather and supply chain conditions.

“Thanks to funding assistance from the Australian government, there has been a strong focus on improving hinterland infrastructure.”

From page 1 Arthur spent six weeks in SCUH and a further six weeks in Nambour hospital.

The most difficult part for him was three months lying flat on his back to recover from spinal fractures.

“I’ve always been very active. I used to run marathons and ultramarathons and still regularly ran 10km,“ he said.

“I was worried that I’d never walk again.“ After three months, staff in Nambour hospital told him they were going to get him up to walk.

“It was just 10 steps. At the end of that there were about a dozen people, they all clapped,“ he said.

“I got so choked up. It was such an encouragement.

“We’re teachers. We know the value of encouraging people who have doubts about their ability,“ he said of he and Aileen who shared a hospital during their recovery.

“They dubbed it the honeymoon suite,“ she joked.

Aileen sustained fractured ribs, a punctured lung treated with a chest drain and a crushed leg requiring surgery.

“We feel joy, happiness and thankfulness for the people who surrounded us from the time we arrived,“ Arthur said.

As teachers, Arthur and Aileen wanted their students to do well. Arthur said he realised the hospital staff wanted the same for their patients.

“People were just totally devoted to their work. They’d do whatever they could to help. We’re so grateful. It’s so important to say thank you. We appreciate what they do every single day.“ Arthur was deputy headmaster at Rockhampton Grammar School, a school he taught at for 27 years.

By a quirk of fate, paramedic Erin McDonald was a former student at the school.

Erin didn’t recognise the former teacher at the time of the accident, saying in her work when people are so sick you often don’t recognise them, you just focus on what needs to be done.

She realised who he was after the fact and while he hadn’t taught her, she knew his reputation as a wonderful teacher.

“When you see Arthur today, it’s a testament to him as a person,“ she said.

“Often you don’t close the loop on a job. To see him with his family and going home for Christmas that’s the best part of the job. Thanking us is when we hear they are doing well.“ In a message to other drivers Erin said a lot of accidents they attended were avoidable. She urged drivers to drive safely, to avoid accidents.

“Everyone has a family,“ she said.

Free loop buses are back Free route 064 and 065 buses are back again these holidays and greener than ever with the addition of an electric loop bus.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said that from 10 December to 22 January, the 065 Go Noosa electric loop bus would be doing the rounds, quite literally, as it connects Noosa Heads, Noosa Junction and riverside locations during the peak holiday period in a continuous allday loop.

The electric bus is charged by 100 per cent green power, and with about 30 per cent of Noosa’s emissions coming from vehicles, it’s another step towards reducing our emissions locally.

“These holidays will also see a huge milestone with over one million free bus trips since the Noosa Council Transport Strategy’s Go Noosa holiday program started in 2018,” Mayor Stewart said.

From humble beginnings of 10 days over the Christmas holidays and one week during Easter Holidays, the program has expanded to cover the entire Christmas and Easter Queensland school holidays, as well as the introduction of the 065 Go Noosa Loop bus.

Along with the Go Noosa Loop Bus, it will also be free to travel on five existing Translink buses that service Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Noosa Parklands, Tewantin, Noosa Civ-

and Noosa Heads hourly (routes 626, 627, 628, 629 and 632 only).

The Loop bus connects Noosa Heads, Noo-

sa Junction and riverside locations along Weyba Drive and will again service a park-and-ride facility at the Weyba Road AFL ground (plenty of parking) and The J, every 15 minutes until 7pm and half hourly until 10pm.

Council also encourages residents and visitors to leave the car at home and consider exploring fun alternative transport options including the Noosa Ferry or hiring an e-bike or bicycle or walking.

For those who do need to drive in, council will again offer paid parking, at peak periods, in the Lions Park at Noosa Heads, managed by the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club.

Half of the proceeds from the paid parking will go to Tewantin-Noosa Lions Club to fund its good work in the community.

All-day paid parking is also available at Bay Village on Noosa Parade and Noosa Marina in Tewantin.

Man charged over ‘clown car’ and social media posts A police officer has called out “childish and selfish“ behaviour of a driver charged over allegedly performing dangerous manoeuvres in a “clown car“.

The Sunshine Coast man has been charged with multiple offences after he allegedly performed the acts in a heavily modified vehicle and uploaded vision to social media.

Police said the 29-year-old man purchased a “clown car” with a fuel system comprising a plastic jerry can attached to a rubber hose, and made some additional modifications to the vehicle.

Sunshine Coast District Superintendent Craig Hawkins said police would not turn a blind eye to someone blatantly flouting the law.

“Putting not only your own life at risk but those of your mates for the sake of social media notoriety is childish and selfish behaviour,” Superintendent Hawkins said.

On 30 September, a search warrant was executed at Image Flat, during which officers seized multiple items.

The 29-year-old Image Flat man was arrested at the residence and charged with multiple offences.

He was bailed to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 12 December.

Highway Patrol investigators also attended the addresses of people who they said allegedly appeared in and contributed to the videos.

Nine alleged participants were issued with 70 Traffic Infringement Notices. fringement Notices (TINs) with a combined total of 99 associated demerit points and total value of $27,800.

Police said investigations were continuing with further TINs likely to be issued and additional offences detected.

“Sharing these antics with his large contingent of online followers has come at a significant financial cost, both in fines and the loss of vehicles, Superintendent Hawkins said.

“Our message to anyone taking part in foolish and high-risk activities or thinking you can push modified, unsafe vehicles to the limit is that we will continue to target you, investigate and take action.”

In addition to penalties for hooning related offences of fines of up to $5338 and terms of imprisonment up to 6 months, hoons also face having their vehicle impounded or immobilised.

Auction opens new gallery

By Phil Jarratt Award-winning German-born artist Eric Bergen spent more than half his life painting landscapes of the Noosa he loved, but since his death in 2013, this vast body of striking work has been unseen, quietly lining the walls of the Sunrise Beach home of his grieving widow, once his studio and gallery.

Since the death of Maria Bergen two years ago, the estate was left to four leading charities, and now, thanks to a collaboration between executors Donald Portman and Co, Tewantin’s newest art gallery, Gallery One93, and sponsor Laguna Real Estate, a large sampling of the work will be offered at a no-reserve charity auction from 5pm tonight, 9 December.

Born in Munich into an artistic family, Eric’s art appreciation and training began at an early age, selling his first paintings at 15, later studying at the College of Applied Art Raabenbauer where he received a masters degree in fine art and became an arts teacher. In 1960 he and Maria migrated to Queensland where he initially taught in Brisbane, but Eric was captivated by the landscapes he found around Noosa’s beaches and river, and they soon moved here permanently.

While Eric turned his artistic talents to everything from still life to copying the old masters, to this eye it is his depiction of our local landscape that stands out in the collection.

Perhaps a nod to the late, great Hal Barton here and there in the beach and National Park pieces, but Eric Bergen definitely had a style that was all his own.

And it was appreciated in Queensland, where he received the highest award bestowed by the Royal Queensland Art Society and enjoyed the patronage of an A-List of clients, including former premier Peter Beattie, as well as some of our leading local collectors.

One of his landscapes even ended up in the personal collection of the late Shah of Iran.

Opening a gallery is a new journey for owners and Noosa residents Paul and Fiona Bastow who aim to provide a relaxed, accessible place to view and purchase high quality Australian artworks.

Fiona has been involved in the art world (on and off between raising a family) for over 20 years as an artist, arts administrator and teacher. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art

amongst other qualifications.

Paul is an investor who says he wants to put some rock ‘n roll into the Noosa artworld!

He’s enjoyed curating cool and collectable paintings from artists such as Ben Quilty, Reg Mombassa, Jasper Knight and Adam Cullen, as well as icons of the Australian art world like Sydney Nolan, John Olsen, Mirka Mora and former Noosa resident the late Robert Dickerson.

Neilsons address concerns Noosa Shire Council is expected to consider the future direction of the Australian Wild Game Harvesters facility at Tinbeerwah when it meets next Monday 12 December.

The issue has been a debated topic with some locals opposing the facility which was granted a licence for one year in December 2021. Local residents have expressed concerns to the council.

The operators of the facility, Adam and Belinda Neilson have provided a short response addressing some of the concerns published.

In particular they wish it to be known that : 1. Assertions have been made by some parties that the facility located at the 82 Patterson Drive, Tinbeerwah, the home of Adam and Belinda Neilson, does not comply with the Noosa Town Plan. The Neilsons deny these assertions, however, the Noosa Council Planning officers considered that it did comply and supported the application before council. The council staff supporting paper to the Council General Meeting that considered the application noted: “Despite submissions received from sur-

rounding residents it is considered that the home-based business will not unreasonably impact on the amenity of the rural residential character of the area, with the shed well insulated to mitigate potential noise impacts. The proposal complies with the Rural Residential Zone Code and the Home-based Business Code and is therefore recommended for approval” 2. Complaints regarding the home-based small business were received by council. However, the Nielsons have been advised by council that the conclusion of council’s investigation of these complaints is that that they do not

merit any action being taken.

3. It has been suggested that the operation of the small facility creates smells, noise and waste that are a breach of the approval. The Neilsons deny these suggestions and confirm that they have been advised by Council officers who attended the property that these suggestions are not correct. Further, the implication that waste is being disposed of in a manner that it could go into the ground or nearby lake is also false speculation with such waste being minimal and being strictly captured and disposed of in accordance with the law.

O’Brien says have your say on cost of living pressures The rising cost of living is having a significant impact on household budgets, community groups and business finances, and Federal Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien is encouraging people to make a submission to a new Senate inquiry on its effects.

The Liberal and Nationals Coalition has established a Senate Select Committee to inquire into the causes of cost of living pressures and how they are impacting Australians, and to examine and report on ways of easing these pressures through the tax system and the provision of government services.

“Many constituents tell me that the cost of living is the number one issue they are facing, and some are worried about being able to pay their bills and put food on the table,” Mr O’Brien said.

“The Select Committee wants to hear from Australians across a broad range of sectors and demographics, and I encourage families, individuals, and community organisations in the Wide Bay to make a submission.

“The inquiry will establish a comprehensive picture of how cost of living pressures are impacting Australians and identify the actions and the policies the government must put in place to address this looming crisis.

“Local businesses are telling me that their energy costs are set to skyrocket in 2023.

These costs can’t be absorbed by business and they will have no choice but to pass on increases to consumers. This will just make it even harder for households and community groups in Wide Bay to make ends meet.”

The Senate Select Committee is inviting submissions from interested individuals and organisations, and close on 10 March 2023.

The Committee intends to conduct hearings and call witnesses before releasing its final report and recommendations.

Submissions can be via the Committee’s website: aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Cost_of_Livinq/ costofliving

State government releases Housing Summit report Sunshine Coast 2032 board of directors: Kerry Neill, Danielle Smith, Simone Pierce, Roz White (chair), Duncan Armstrong (vice-chair), Leigh McCready, Dawn-Lorraine Fraser.

Games talk Noosa residents are invited to attend an expert panel discussion hosted by Peregian residents’ association Peregian Family & Friends Inc, titled Olympics 2032 - what does it mean for Noosa?.

“The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event on earth and the Paralympic Games is the greatest showcase of how participation in sport provides positive social and physical benefits to people with disabilities and plays an important role in changing community perceptions of people with disabilities. “In 2032, they are both coming to South East Queensland,” organisation president Leigh McCready said.

“Our committee invites members and guests to join with fellow community members to hear about how both Games will benefit Noosa and the broader Sunshine Coast.

“Hear from Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart who will describe how the shire is getting ready for the Games, from Olympian Duncan Armstrong who has seen first-hand the benefits hosting the Olympics brings to a community, including to its athletes and volunteers, and from Andrew Brodie, who as CEO of the Sunshine Coast Airport will enable access and business

opportunities to local companies and industries to leverage positive and lasting benefits from the Games.”

Following a brief annual general meeting to appoint organisation’s 2023 executive committee, the three panellists will be invited to reflect on the future Games and how Noosa can make the most of this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The panel will be moderated by Ms McCready, who along with Duncan Armstrong, sit on the board of Sunshine Coast 2032, the organisation created to be the voice of the Sunshine Coast community with regards to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Drinks and snacks will be served at the event to be held at Peregian Surf Club on Tuesday 13 December from 5pm.

While the event is free, registration is required at events.humanitix.com/olympic2032-and-peregian-family-and-friends-agm For more information visit peregianfriends. com or the Peregian Family & Friends Facebook page.

The State Government has released the Outcomes Report from the historic Housing Summit held in October.

The Summit - for the first time – brought together almost 200 people from all levels of government alongside the construction industry and the real-estate industry along with planners, developers, community services organisations, homelessness advocates and community housing providers.

Premier Anastacia Palaszczuk said the Outcomes Report set out a program of actions backed by $56 million in new funding to deliver positive housing outcomes for the Queensland community.

“I didn’t convene the Housing Summit to just talk about housing. I convened the Summit so that the government could work with stakeholders to find sustainable, tangible, workable solutions to the challenges Queenslanders face,“ she said.

The Outcomes Report focuses on expanding housing supply and increasing housing support for Queensland.

Key actions include: $11.7 million to expand tenancy sustainment responses to support vulnerable people to maintain their tenancies. $10 million to expand private rental assistance products and services for people experiencing severe rental stress. $10 million to deliver more temporary emergency accommodation with onsite support. $8.5 million additional support for afterhours homelessness outreach services.

A further $5 million boost to the Immediate Housing Response. $5 million for a Community Engagement

· · · · · ·

and Awareness Campaign on growth and housing diversity. $3.3 million for cost of living relief, including emergency relief and food relief. $2.5 million to support the review of the South-East Queensland Regional Plan.

The $56 million investment is on top of the $1 billion boost in funding for the Housing Investment Fund announced at the Summit and the $5 million boost for the Immediate Response package that was announced in following the Housing Roundtable in September this year. This takes the government’s investment in social and affordable housing to an historic level of almost $4 billion.

The government is also undertaking an audit of state government-owned land and buildings for opportunities for residential use and partnering with local governments and non-government organisations to identify similar opportunities. The audit is expected to be completed in three months.

“And the government is working with community and faith-based organisations to similarly identify properties that can be used for vulnerable Queenslanders,” the Premier said. ”Another imminent step will be the opening of our Modular Homes Factory in Eagle Farm, where QBuild is using modern methods of construction to create prefabricated homes.

“We will continue to work with all levels of governments, industry, the private sector, our invaluable community housing providers and housing and homelessness community organisations to deliver this responsive and extensive program of work.

“There is more work to be done but we are taking important steps forward.”

Rotarians plan wellbeing

Stand Tall for PTS founder Tony Dell and Bob Birkhead from the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads. lates to veterans and first responders.

At the conference, Tony Dell, founder of Stand Tall for PTS, spoke about the need for greater support for both veterans and first responders.

Tony was impacted by PTSD after service in Vietnam that directly impacted his international test cricket career playing for Australia as well as many Sheffield Shield games for Queensland between 1970 – 1975.

“Stand Tall for PTS has a vision that all Australians will have a clear understanding and

respect for those affected by PTS,“ he said.

“PTS is one of the least understood medical conditions and the government provides negligible support for this very costly health problem that is impacting many people in our community from veterans, first responders, to individuals and family units.“ During discussions with Tony Dell after the conference, the role of a support group for veterans called Red Six was raised.

This group was formed in 2018 by another

Vietnam veteran, Michael Handley and is proving to be a very effective app for veterans to access.

Red Six provides a phone app that can be downloaded. The app allows veterans to list three people who can be contacted should the veteran need to talk about how they are feeling.

Mr Handley said, “We seek to help vets through this app by providing a very positive way to address suicide and other mental health issues on our veterans.“ “There is a real gap between awareness and actions and we know this app is making a difference in the lives of veterans.”

The app can be accessed via the Red Six website at redsix.com.au Both Red Six and Stand Tall for PTS provide positive support programs and the Rotarians 4 Mental Health committee will be actively engaged in promoting awareness of these groups as a means to move from awareness to actions and support.

The other key area of the committee’s focus will be directed towards the anticipated high levels of mental health issues amongst young people as stated by the Thompson Institute and Australian Rotary Health. ‘’We will be looking at ways to engage with local groups, sporting clubs and Council to assess how Rotary can play a role in seeking proactive methods of support. The issue is real and the need for a community focus is also very real,“ Mr Birkhead said.

As a result of the positive feedback from the Don’t Bottle it Up conference, the committee are finalising the production of a 20 minute highlight video that will be distributed across the Rotary District network, initially to enable other Rotary clubs to consider how to make a difference in their local communities through a positive program that addresses mental health challenges.

12581715-KJ49-22

After a highly successful Don’t Bottle it Up conference held by the Rotarians 4 Mental Health committee in October, members of the five Rotary Clubs met last week to consider actions to continue their focus into the new year.

Chair of the organising committee, Bob Birkhead from the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads said, “The conference has certainly reaffirmed the need to continue with proactive actions in addressing mental health issues that moves from awareness to action and support.”

Key note speaker at the conference, Professor Jim Lagopolous from the Thompson Institute, outlined areas that were of real concern, including the high level of suicides on the Sunshine Coast, currently at some 10 per cent above the national average.

Their research has indicated that 50 per cent of people under the age of 12 were likely to be impacted by mental health issues.

Through ihelp app that is available on this website thealliance.com.au/ihelp, the Thompson Institute is providing avenues for people impacted by mental health issues, including PTSD, to reach out and seek support.

Australian Rotary Health director Kevin Shadbolt validated the concern about young people by adding that their research has indicated that 75 per cent of people under the age of 25 will be impacted by mental health issues.

At the Rotarians 4 Mental Health meeting, clubs committed to the need to address both of these issues to continue to create awareness and to actively seek out support groups that can assist people impacted.

The level of suicide on the Sunshine Coast has decreased from 20 per cent above the national average to 10 per cent above national average, based on findings by the Thompson Institute.

Other groups specifically aimed at veterans support are seen as vital parts of a further reduction in suicide levels, especially as it re-

Extra dementia services The new 32-bed memory support unit at NoosaCare’s Carramar site has been officially opened, providing significantly more services and options for those living with dementia on the Sunshine Coast.

Opened on 5 December by NoosaCare president Ann Harrap, together with State Member of Parliament Sandy Bolton, Noosa’s Deputy Mayor Frank Wilke, and the project’s major donors, the new facility offers a specifically designed secure environment in beautifully landscaped surroundings.

“With more and more people in our community impacted by dementia and cognitive decline, we are delighted to be able to provide a service that offers both a clinical and lifestyle approach to care in a safe and visually appealing space,” Ms Harrap said.

“Providing dementia care is expensive and underfunded by government so we rely heavily on volunteers and the generosity of donors to ensure we can deliver something extraordinary.

“NoosaCare is grateful to all those who helped to make this project a reality, particularly our major donors – RSL Tewantin,

LiveLife Pharmacy Group and the families of John Hay and Stan Chandler. The financial gifts from those organisations and families has meant we can provide additional amenities and resident services over and above what we can fund ourselves,” she said.

The extra services include: Solar outdoor audio and visual nature boards with information and sensory cues.

Outdoor safe-to-touch fireplace with seating.

Wearables and sensors that can assist with independence.

Interactive audio-visual systems to provide stimulation and sensory engagement.

“Silent sounds” wireless headphone systems.

Designed by Peter Middap and constructed by Kane Builders, the project received endorsement from Dementia Australia and was recognised by the Institute of Hospitality in Healthcare as a state of the art ‘Project of the Year’ in 2021. The new unit increases NoosaCare’s secure dementia offering to 64 bed and is complemented by NoosaCare’s outreach activities such as the dementia cafe.

Qld birth certificates now recognise gender diversity priate for trans people, and can be inaccessible and unaffordable as it is not covered by Medicare,” she said.

“This is about making sure that a person’s legal identity matches their lived identity, and will bring Queensland into line with most other jurisdictions.”

The Bill establishes two pathways to alter the record of sex of a child aged under 16, namely by parents or a guardian applying directly to the registrar where particular criteria are met, or through the Children’s Court.

“A key element of both of these pathways involves an assessment of the child by a developmentally informed practitioner who has an established, professional relationship with them,” Ms Fentiman said.

“The new legislation will also allow both parents to be registered as either mother or father, which currently is not the case.

“A birth certificate has deep social and emotional resonance for people. The Bill will ensure that same-sex and gender diverse parents are able to record a descriptor on

Consultation during the drafting of the Bill was largely informed by roundtable discussions with key stakeholders from advocacy, legal and health organisations.

Other states and territories, apart from NSW and WA, have removed the legislative requirement for a person to have undergone a reassignment procedure to change their sex on their birth registration.

Turtley awesome sights It’s been an egg-cellent start to the Sunshine Coast turtle nesting season, with six nests laid in seven days.

At sunrise on Friday 25 November, expert citizen scientist and Turtle Care volunteer Lesley Dimmock spotted the first turtle tracks on Buddina beach.

This was followed by two more nests recorded on the weekend, another two on Tuesday and one on Wednesday.

Once the volunteers find the egg chamber, the next step is to install special mesh over the nest to prevent predators getting access.

Sunshine Coast Council’s TurtleCare Conservation Officer Kate Hofmeister said the volunteers were very excited the season had officially begun.

“More than 250 turtle volunteers across the Sunshine Coast are expecting to see turtle tracks during their early morning local beach patrols any day now,” Ms Hofmeister said.

“However, even though we’ve had a big start to the season, we are expecting less nests this year due to the extended La Nina weather pattern we’ve been experiencing since 2020.

“There have also been a few unsuccessful nesting attempts recently which could be related to the poor condition of the dunes, again due to this year’s weather.

“These situations do happen, and it’s a reminder that nesting turtles are easily disturbed, so we ask our community to please give the turtles lots of space if they come across one on the beach at night time.

“The volunteers from TurtleCare and Coolum and North Shore Coast Care updated their skills at annual training in mid-November so they can continue to perform the valuable citizen scientist role of protecting nests and collecting data on the endangered species.”

Mrs Hofmeister highlighted the importance of residents turning off any unnecessary external lighting at night.

Turtle tracks from one of the first turtles to lay a nest this season on Buddina Beach.

“Sea turtles are not often found nesting in areas of high population density, so we are very lucky to have these ancient mariners still coming to our shores on the Sunshine Coast each summer, especially when you consider sea turtles have been nesting here for thousands of years,” Mrs Hofmeister said.

“This year’s hatchlings have a one in 1000 chance of surviving to adulthood, and if they do, they will return to start nesting on Sunshine Coast beaches in the year 2052.

“Adult and hatchling turtles are highly sensitive to artificial light. A dark beach is the best

way to attract nesting turtles to local beaches and allow the hatchlings to make their own way to the ocean.

“We have seen, on a number of occasions, the negative and disorienting impacts lights can have on turtle nesting, so it is important we all work together to protect these majestic creatures.

“Turtle nesting season is a time when the whole community can come together as a turtle-friendly community to celebrate and help protect these threatened species.

“We can all help by keeping plastic waste

out of waterways and beaches and cutting the glow of lights after 8pm during nesting and hatchling season.”

To report turtle tracks, new nests and emerging hatchlings on the southern end of the coast, call Sunshine Coast Council’s Turtle Care hotline 0437 559 067 or for sightings from Mooloolaba north, call Coolum and North Shore Coast Care on 0403 370 157.

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

The Pub Test In the wake of the usual complaints about road closures during another successful Noosa Triathlon, PHIL JARRATT asks the anonymous Friday swillers, is it time for an events reset?

Rethinking event strategy Ringleader: Should we be revisiting the whole idea behind our events strategy?

Splinters: I think that’s being done. The strategy was designed to even out the bumps in the tourism economic calendar, but since Covid we’ve been busy every weekend all the time, and often all week all the time. We’ve been discovered by the SEQ drive market. It’s going to increase as the region grows, with Aura reaching the size of Gladstone, so in terms of attracting the numbers, it’s mission accomplished.

But I don’t think that means we should discard events totally. Every culture and civilisation has had events to celebrate the things that they’re grateful for, so I think what we need to do is review and refine the purpose of events.

Would we want to give up the Noosa Festival of Surfing, for example, when it’s a celebration of something that is so much a part of local culture? Or an event that celebrates local food and produce? Or that brings art, music and dance to town that we don’t normally see here? It’s about what’s important to the tribe.

Ringleader: So you want to review the strategy but find reasons to keep all the events? Maybe then we should be focused on the double-ups.

For example, we have a world class triathlon so why do we need an ultra-sports event consisting of the same sports? Could we look at eliminating duplication and possibly cut back time slots and the constant use of the same busy

Bike staging area at the Noosa Tri.

Picture: SUPPLIED

tourist hubs? The Main Beach Events policy from 2018, for example, was quite dogmatic about the fact that events that don’t need to use Main Beach shouldn’t be on it.

Splinters: Noosa Alive was encouraged to go the Woods for that reason. For an event that doesn’t take place in the water or on the sand, then a marquee somewhere else can work. If congestion is the main issue, they should do more in the hinterland.

Ringleader: I don’t think it’s just congestion, it’s also duplication. The surf festival had to fight hard to be allowed to have a beach bar, but once it was done, everyone had one, so it came close to losing its once-a-year appeal.

Bald bloke: My head keeps going back to iden-

tity, a Noosa identity as opposed to the broader idea of South East Queensland or the Sunshine Coast. I was recently talking to someone who competes in triathlons in Noosa, Mooloolaba and Port Macquarie every year because each of them has an identity of its own, created by its location and its people. I’m not sure Noosa Alive! has that going for it, although Noosa Eat and Drink probably could if it promoted our own products more. But I think that when we have an event in town almost every other week it starts to water down that identity, the brand of Noosa. How do we nurture these events and avoid losing our identity? I don’t think you can afford to do anything to reduce the keynote events like the Noosa Triathlon and the surf

festival. There are also issues with the smaller events, like Pomona’s King of the Mountain.

Should we be climbing a sacred mountain in Kabi Kabi country? Maybe we could run around it instead?

Female voice: It’s a bit like saying Nup to The Cup. That campaign works, it’s entered the consciousness, and reducing the footprint of events could too. I don’t think sporting groups should be allowed to just ride roughshod over the rest of the town. Events like the triathlon are too big and they happen too often, in my opinion. Events normally have a life and at the end of it the organisers just eat themselves. But in the meantime, if you just let them, they’ll grow and grow until it becomes all about growth, more sponsorship, more prize money and so on. At Mt Manganui in New Zealand, for example, the town is completely divided down the middle by people who love or hate triathlons.

Ringleader: Neighbouring Tauranga does have a great writers’ festival.

FV: But you wouldn’t know it because there’s always a triathlon on.

Ringleader: There are cities, like Orlando and New Orleans in the US for example, that have become a nonstop event. It makes them great tourism hubs, but more and more residents have to move out. I don’t think we want that in Noosa.

HB: Perhaps Noosa’s greatest export is the international family built out of festivals like our festival of surfing. If you travel to other parts of the world where they surf, you’ll discover that they know and love Noosa because of it. Perhaps the triathlon exports the same sort of ties and goodwill.

Splinters: Yes, it definitely does. It has great global reach. But going back to identity, I often wonder if Noosa and Byron Bay weren’t born as tourist destinations out of a similar spirit, of which fishing and then surfing was a big part, and are now both in danger of losing that spirit.

FV: I think if you let very big companies get out of control with their festivals that is exactly what will happen.

Ringleader: So are you suggesting that we need to enforce more restrictions on the events in order to keep the residents happy about the spirit of place which drew them here?

FV: Well, the footprint is so large now that something needs to be done. They seem to pack up pretty quickly, but the build and the load-in adds at least another week to the duration of the event. It’s a long time.

Splinters: Maybe we need to hear more from local people about what they want from events, because it seems likely that the people we’re hearing complain about what’s happening are the ones who aren’t participating in them, either as competitors or volunteers. But a lot of locals participate in the triathlon, a lot go to the food and wine festival, Noosa Alive and so on.

BB: If you look at our demographic, with the average age being 55 and getting older, many of them are well-heeled and patronise things like food and wine and Noosa Alive. The focus has shifted more to them and away from things like rugby league carnivals, Nippers and the like. If we’re going to keep the identity of the town we have to keep a balance between these things.

Splinters: I saw an interesting statistic the other day – 10,500 people in Noosa are aged 17 or under. That means nearly 20 per cent of us are children. And since Covid the younger adult demographic has really jumped too. So consideration of that should be factored into our events strategy.

Ringleader: Going back to the idea of community consultation on the future of events, I reckon if you went to local people and laid out the 2023 program of major events, and how long each would impact the town from sitebuild to site-removal, they’d be shocked and would be demanding that we cut it back.

Splinters: I think most of the complaints are about access, being able to get in and out of their street and go about their normal business. And I think we also have to ask, are they serial complainers? The expression, happiness writes a blank page, occurs to me. When people are enjoying life, you don’t hear from them.

FV: People do hate a closed road, even if they’re not going anywhere. Maybe we should have a festival for whingers?

All in readiness at Pub Test HQ.

Welcome to Janine Lakey, who takes over the reins of Cooroy Shoes from Maree Millar, who is hanging up her shoelaces!!

12581711-AI49-22

Splinters: I don’t think we’ve reached that point and I don’t think we will if we host events for reasons other than to attract numbers.

BB: Like identity.

Splinters: And to celebrate things you’re grateful for.

FV: How does that work in the context of the triathlon?

Splinters: We’re grateful for health and wellbeing and the triathlon promotes that for all age groups. People come from all over the world to live and train in Noosa year-round and I think that’s a good event outcome. The question about the event itself is, does it have to be that large? I don’t think it does.

Hirsute bloke: Parts of me would like to see all or most of the events just disappear, but other parts of me want them to stay. I think we have something like $1.2 billion in tourism revenue now and I’m not sure anyone wants us to lose that income. You don’t get rid of Tourism Noosa because they’re too good at their job, and you don’t get rid of events because they’re too good. That’s why I’d like to keep them but see them limited in some way, like maybe have the really big events every second year. I also agree that our events should reflect the Noosa identity, focusing on Biosphere principles, environment, local food, fitting these things into the criteria for an event. Ideally, people who come here for an event should leave town with a higher understanding of what it’s all about, and thinking, that place was incredible, can’t wait to go back.

FV: But Noosa’s identity can mean different things to different people. It might mean surfing to me, but triathlon to someone else.

Ringleader: One aspect of identity we haven’t discussed yet is First Nations. Are we doing enough in that space? I think Floating Land was a brilliant concept but it seems to fly under the radar a bit.

FV: It’s been held in different places in different years, but I love that it can be held all over the shire.

Splinters: I think in its first year there were installations in Noosa Woods and last year they had installations along the Park Road Boardwalk and they were incredible. And, of course, Indigenous events celebrating culture, like the Bunya Festival, have been around for hundreds of years.

Ringleader: We talked earlier about events having a lifespan, and often that’s the lifespan of the organiser.

FV: That’s true and sometimes they evolve into something else under new management, which is more or less what happened to the triathlon and the surf festival.

HB: I want to pick up on that. The festival of surfing was more culturally involved when it first started, respecting elders and traditions and embracing all aspects of surfing. Because of that so many relationships were built internationally through it, and it became a melting pot of ideas as well.

BB: The cultural melting pot is great as long as the triathlon doesn’t become a melting pot of lycra-clad uber-rich!

There’s nothing quite like the smell of pine trees at Christmas. ERLE LEVEY is gripped with nostalgia at a South Burnett farm.

Roos captivated by trees ON THE

LAND ERLE LEVEY We’ve probably all heard the saying about having kangaroos loose in the top paddock.

But in the case of South Burnett farmers Debbie and Chris Bunker it has nothing to do with having a loose grasp on reality.

Instead, they have found kangaroos using Christmas trees to scratch themselves.

It’s just one of the issues they have been faced with at their Benair property ... big male kangaroos who like nothing better than to rub their chest up against the perfectly-shaped pines to get rid of an itch.

In the process the big bucks do quite a bit of damage to the young trees.

Then there is the problem of bandicoots attacking the PVC irrigation pipes and drippers to get an easy water supply and inflicting quite an additional cost.

Yet Debbie and Chris are more than happy to contend with a few native wildlife intruders on their 160-acre property.

At Chrissy Trees 4 U they have planted trees specifically suited to the Queensland climate, and have built up quite a following over the past 15 years.

Those who love the scent of pine or the fun of decorating at Christmas come from a catchment as far afield as Rockhampton and Warwick, Brisbane and Emerald, to choose their tree or picnic in the grounds at the time of harvesting.

Sitting with Debbie at the cafe and the Christmas Barn filled with decorations, she told me about their journey.

As we talked, Chris and Justin, one of their three children, were at work in the shed preparing orders. For late November-early December is rush hour on the farm.

There are about 10,000 trees planted, either in the ground for harvesting or in pots.

Harvested trees are selected and tagged throughout the year, then either transported or picked up at the farm.

Many are dropped at pre-arranged delivery points throughout South-east Queensland, the Darling Downs or Central Queensland.

“The decision to get into Christmas trees was made about 15 years ago,’’ Debbie said.

“My kids were getting through high school and I still wanted to be remain on the farm as a stay-at-home mum but earn an income, knowing that they were going off to uni soon.

It was something I had to really help Queenslanders understand - that you could have a real Christmas tree here.”

“I love Christmas so I researched lots of different things, and I bought up 100 little seedlings as I was allowed a little patch of ground behind the house.

“We worked the soil up and I nurtured each of these little trees for four years.

“I learnt lots in that time, and then took them down to the Gold Coast and Brisbane where we had the trees in garden centres and took orders from that.

“Then we’ve just grown. We sold out and sold out, and kept growing and doubling each year.

“So then we put it online as a store and we now have delivery runs in which we take them to more central places such as Brisbane, Toowoomba and Caboolture and people collect them.

“Two years ago we decided to put the the gift shop in, which is just the fun bit, and then we did the cafe as well.

“It’s because I love Christmas.’’

Debbie and Chris bought the farm 27 years ago and it was a peanut farm with one tree - a jacaranda - and a little old shed.

The jacaranda was all burnt on one side from the sun, so they planted the big palms up the driveway as an entry statement.

“We planted them in the first season and they are just stunning now,’’ Debbie said.

“We brought little pots up from where we used to live and we planted those.

“Chris’s family is all from Redland Bay and we planted the first trees up our driveway.’’

Debbie comes from Central Queensland, at Dysart.

Now at Benair, they are well placed with the Western Downs and Toowoomba, Brisbane, the coastal areas and almost to Rockhampton within reach for customers and visitors.

“That’s the radius we have people come from,’’ Debbie said.

“Like at our pre-tagging weekends, which begin in November.

“We get hundreds. This time we had close to 1000 people come out on that weekend to pick their tree.

“So the picnic areas were all full of people, and they were out picking and tagging their trees.’’

It’s a bit like picking your own strawberries I guess, but this has really grown to a big scale.

Little did Debbie and Chris think it would become this popular.

While the property had been used for growing peanuts and grazing, they had originally been farming ostriches in Brisbane.

“We wanted a bigger property so we could expand - that was going back 27 years - and then

we all know what happened with ostriches.’’

Attempts were made to farm ostriches in Australia for feathers and meat, particularly from the 1970s onwards, but many failed.

Debbie and Chris were fortunate enough to get into a growing group for duboisia - small perennial shrubs and trees in which the leaves are used as a pharmaceutical in Buscopan for specialised pain relief.

That underpinned the farm while the Christmas trees were becoming established.

The duboisia plants take at least 12 months before they are ready for harvesting, Chris said.

That is done by machine, and they are taken from the farm as a green-leaf product then dried and processed in the South Burnett.

The idea of growing pine trees was not obvious early on but Debbie just realised nobody grew them in Queensland at the time.

“It was something I had to really help Queenslanders understand - that you could have a real Christmas tree here.

“I just saw there was a huge demand for it.

“This year in particular, because we’ve got so many people from southern states moving up here.

“So the demand is a lot more intense and because it’s something you can’t go to the corner shop for.’’

There was no-one to help Debbie and Chris get started, no-one to help in the preparation and planning.

“It was pretty much trial and error.

“There was no-one with a big secret to go to.

“We wanted to grow the trees and supply them to people.

“There’s so much demand. Everybody who’s ever had a Christmas, a real Christmas tree, they are now hooked on them.’’

While we are talking, you become aware of that distinctive smell of the pine. It’s such a healthy scent.

One of the big tips for trees is to put a sheet on the floor first - perhaps with a green colour - so that all of needles just fall onto it during the Christmas period.

The benefit is at the end of the season you just have this big bag that you can dispose of as mulch or green waste.

Needles can be a reason why people have gone for artificial trees in recent years, especially when time is such a valuable commodity.

Yet Debbie finds that the trees, if you keep the water up to them, stay healthy in Queensland.

“We grow them here and we are trimming them all of the time, so it’s not like bringing out a tree from down south where they’ve come into our heat and they drop needles.

“Here in Queensland, there is very little needle drop.

“You put them in the stand and make sure it stays full with enough water to cover the base of the tree.’’

That takes us to the issue of people putting their trees up early, while others say you can’t do it till December.

“We recommend, because it’s a fresh tree, three weeks before Christmas to keep it beautiful,’’ Debbie said.

“The first weekend in December,’’ Chris suggests. “There’s a chance that it will last till New Year, especially if there is air-conditioning.

“The trees love air-con. So you can get four weeks if it is cared for.’’

Debbie and Chris started potting their va-

riety of pines as no-one was planting this species.

Up until then people relied on Norfolk pines or branches from bigger pine trees.

“That’s where we created the line,’’ Debbie said.

“People would know that by having them in pots they would be able to keep them to a reasonable size, whereas with the Norfolks you had to transplant them at some stage.

“With these you can repot them to the next size each year and you can keep it shaped - every time you shape it, the tree fills out.

“With Norfolk pines you have to keep the main stem but with this one you can trim it at any height to fill up the foliage ... to push it up from underneath.’’

The switch to the Christmas trees as well as the duboisia meant Debbie and Chris had to put in underground watering, construct sheds and install solar pumps at the dam and bores in the gully.

“We had to put in the big solar pumps for the underwater mains throughout the whole property, then built sheds for the dispatch sector, the tractors and forklift.

“There was a dam but we put two bores in and we have got natural springs.

“The soil is just amazing and beautiful.

“The thing about red soil is it doesn’t come out if you get it on your clothes ... you never wear white.’’

On a farm there are always a lot of insects and pests but it was the bigger native creatures that Debbie and Chris had problems with.

When it got dry they had bandicoots come onto the land - something that had not been an issue before.

“We would have all our potted trees out with irrigation lines and the bandicoots came through every night - and they would rip open and split the irrigation lines.

“Every morning we would be replacing the irrigation lines because they would try and get the water from the drippers.

“We were never able to catch them so the only thing we could come up with was putting the solar lights around our whole area of growing pots.

“Then we had a few male kangaroos, which was very interesting.

“They had an itch so they would grab our Christmas trees and scratch their belly with it.

“That would ruin the tree because at that stage it was as tall as them ... they would scratch and scratch.’’

As the business has grown the children have become more involved in the operation, especially approaching December.

They’re there with input on what to do as much as what they get out of it.

“They do they come up with some really good ideas, particularly for fundraisers.

“We do annual fundraisers for different charities each year.

“As an example we had a bale-painting day in which we had huge, big, round hay bales that we donated.

“Businesses or people would pay and then they put their logo with a Christmas theme on it.

“There were market stalls all up the driveway and all of the bales along it - 50 bales got painted and all the money went to charity.

“That time it was Lifeflight - the emergency helicopters.

“This year we did a big one, and it was a different one.

“It was Christmas in July and that was for the Cancer Council.

“We had huge markets again but we sold our places for Picnics in the Trees, so there were families everywhere.

“There were workshops and ugly sweater competitions, decorate the tree competitions.

It was a fun day and we raised good money.’’

Another charity event is creating a big watermelon structure and decorating it like a big Santa sack.

People then bring in toys to put into it so they can be donated to the Salvation Army.

It’s the joy of giving.

Many people come just for the decorations and ornaments Debbie has available in the Christmas Barn.

Her favourite is the old-style Santa Claus with his long white beard and spectacles. But there is also a television-style snow dome,

which is perhaps the best way to describe it, with Santa reciting ’Twas The Night Before Christmas.

“When people come they get something from the shop as well as picking out a tree.

“Every year they will come and choose one new decoration as a collectable item.’’

What does Christmas mean to Debbie, or what are people saying about the Christmas trees?

“They love the shape ... and the memories.

“They come with their kids and grandkids, and they walk around.

“They just pick their own tree and they make it an annual tradition, which is special.

“They’re very excited when they come .... that’s when they are at their happiest.’’

And isn’t that what the festive season is all about - a time to reflect, of being with family and friends, or giving a hand to others.

I remember when we were kids, and on the last day of school we would get off the bus and cut a branch down from up the paddock.

Then we would be busy decorating it with whatever decorations the youngest one had made at school - paper chains, lanterns, a star on top.

Mum would use shaving cream to make it look like snow on the branches.

Things may have changed in some ways through the years but in essence, the experiences remain the same.

It’s a time that holds special memories for many of us.

CHRISTMAS TREE HINTS When you get the tree home, first re-cut the base by making a straight cut across the base taking 2cm off the stump. This enables the tree to absorb water and maintain its freshness or it won’t last the season.

Fill the stand with water and always keep it topped up. It will require watering each day taking in up to two litres a day, as a guide. If the water drops below the trunk, it will seal itself off and then be unable to absorb water, this will reduce the trees life.

If this happens and the tree stops using water, cut a further 2cm off the base of the stump to enable the tree to absorb water once again.

Acclaim for builders The country’s best builders in residential, commercial and civil construction were celebrated at the Master Builders National Excellence in Building and Construction Awards 2022.

Seven Queensland members took home a golden gong at the prestigious awards, including Honed + Polished Concrete, who were named the National Specialist Contractor of the Year – Residential for their work on Sky Garden House in Noosa.

Down further on the coast, Besal Constructions won the National Contract Home – $500,000 to $750,000 award for Dicky Beach House on the Sunshine Coast.

Hutchinson Builders cemented their status as reputable builders, picking up the National Fit-out Award over $10 million for the West Village Retail Precinct.

Master Builders Queensland chief executive officer Paul Bidwell applauded the winners.

“The building and construction industry has demonstrated that despite some challenging conditions, it continues to provide the highest quality outcomes for clients around the country,” he said.

Riding on the wave of success, Master Builders Queensland has launched its 2023 Housing and Construction Awards program early.

Builders wanting to be in the running for a national award next year have time to get a head start on their Queensland entries.

Entries are now open and this year there are three new categories.

The new categories include three commercial fit-out categories for projects up to $5 million, from $5 million up to $10 million and over $10 million.

Now in its 37th year, the Awards are a highlight on the building and construction calendar with hundreds of entries from across the state vying for top spot.

“We can’t wait to show off exceptional proj-

“Whether it’s a beachside apartment, hillside cottage, contemporary community centre or cutting-edge medical facility – we want to see the innovative builds from 2022,” Mr Bidwell said.

The awards honour not just houses and projects but the people that make the industry so special.

Three of the trophies recognise an apprentice, emerging builder and women doing great things that deserves recognition.

Other sought-after accolades include the President’s Award, Project of the Year and House of the Year.

All award submissions are reviewed by independent judges who consider criteria including quality, degree of construction difficulty, external appeal, siting and aspect along

Regional winners go on to be judged at a state level and winners from there are shortlisted for the National Excellence in Building and Construction Awards.

Helitak is flying high Helitak Firefighting Equipment based in Noosa is celebrating its most successful year ever with yet another award to add to an already crowded trophy cabinet.

Coming hot on the heels of the Advanced Technologies award at the Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards in early October, Helitak has taken out the Export award at the Sunshine Coast Business Awards held 12 November.

The year 2022 will be remembered for much more than recognition as Helitak has continued to develop and innovate, moved into much larger premises at Lake McDonald in the Noosa Shire Hinterland and managed a substantial increase in sales both domestically and internationally.

Helitak chief executive officer Jason Schellaars said, “We place great emphasis on attending aerial firefighting conferences around the world proving that Helitak and our product range stands equal to, if not better, than anything else on the market.” Attendance at Australian shows and conferences like the RotoTech Exposition in Brisbane has also paid huge dividends with the year ending in deliveries to Kestrel Aviation Victoria, McDermott Aviation Queensland and United Aero in New South Wales.

On returning from his last overseas trip for the year attending the HAI Ariel Work Safety Conference in Boise Idaho Jason Schellaars paid tribute to his staff, many who have been with the company for many years, and others who Helitak have employed as trainees after they had completed school and who now have a career ahead of them in design and manufacturing.

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

On The Soapbox Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

Countdown to Christmas It’s hard to believe that we are well and truly on the countdown to Christmas with trees being put up, decorations out and our kids on school holidays.

Christmas is a time of joy and celebration and being with loved ones.

It’s also a time where some of our community need an extra bit of support. The annual Mayor’s Christmas Appeal is this year urging our community to support six local charities who are helping those in need during the festive season. Council’s website lists the six local charities seeking support and details of how you can contribute.

The charities are St Vinnies Noosa, Salvation Army Noosa, Santa’s Classy Helpers, Youturn Youth Support, SunnyKids and WomenKind Australia.

Donations can be provided to each of the charities directly (details on Council’s website – noosa.qld.gov.au) or dropped off at the Tewantin-Noosa RSL Club, Memorial Avenue Tewantin, as well as our council offices at 9 Pelican Street, Tewantin, and Cooroy Library, 9 Maple Street Cooroy.

This year, our local charities are looking for donations of presents for children, food items and vouchers, including vouchers to help parents cover the cost of school supplies. Every donation, no matter how small, helps make

a difference to those dealing with significant hardship this Christmas.

Noosa Parade upgrade Although Christmas is fast approaching, our capital works programme continues to deliver with the new 1.2km Noosa Parade active transport corridor now open, catering for both pedestrians and bike riders.

The upgrade delivers new disability-compliant refuge islands and wider pathways, including a 1.5 metre southern pathway and 2.5 metre northern pathway. New LED lighting makes bike-riding and walking in the evening and early mornings safer.

The 1.5 metre on-road bike lane and permanent drop in the speed limit to 40km/h will help improve road safety for all users.

Bus stops in the corridor were also upgraded to meet disability compliance standards.

Council is delivering on its mission to encourage greater uptake of active transport and public transport and reduce dependence on private cars. By providing dedicated on-road bicycle lanes, as well as safer pathways and pedestrian crossings, we hope to see more residents and visitors choosing to leave their cars at home.

Construction of Noosa Parade is partially funded by the Department of Transport and

Main Roads through the Cycle Network Local Government Grants program with the balance funded by Council.

River health Two major flood events occurring earlier this year, and the heavy rain that we have had over the past months are the driver behind the slight decline in the health of Noosa River and its catchment.

The catchment received a B rating in the Healthy Land and Water Report Card.

Grades are down across the SEQ region following disaster-scale floods earlier this year, with many catchments receiving a much lower rating.

Here in Noosa, our rating declined slightly, largely due to the floods transporting more than three times the amount of pollutants into the river than in the year before.

The overall health of Noosa’s waterways is still strong and in good news the report card shows that Noosa residents are some of the most satisfied with their local waterways in all Southeast Qld with a 78 per cent rating.

In addition, 74 per cent of our residents derived very high levels of personal benefits from our waterways compared to 57 per cent for all southeast Queensland. Council continues to invest in the river, together with natural

resource management partners, Noosa and District Landcare and the Noosa Integrated Catchment Association.

Gallery praise Finally, Noosa Regional Gallery has been announced as a finalist for the 2022 Gallery and Museum Achievement Awards (GAMAA) for the 2021 project, FLOATING LAND: at the edge of ideas.

Winners will be announced at an award ceremony in mid-December 2022.

The project, At the edge of ideas, featured an abundance of site-responsive projects, tours, artist-led workshops, performances and unique opportunities for visitors and we wish Noosa Regional Gallery all the very best for the award.

Merry Christmas This is my second-last column before Christmas, so if you are going away or heading out of the shire to visit family and friends or take a holiday, on behalf of all Councillors I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. We thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to continuing to work for you and with you in 2023.

Merry Christmas, Clare

On The Soapbox Rod Ritchie, Cooroy Area Residents Association President

Cooroy annual round up shows growth and progress Cooroy Area Residents Association, now 10 years old, is a non-political organisation that was formed to provide information to our community, lodge submissions to all levels of government on issues and development proposals affecting our area, and give residents a forum to express their opinions. We are independent of council or business interests.

New developments Cooroy continues to evolve as a service town and is becoming a destination for visitors as well.

Several development sites have current applications before council. Post-Covid, nimble, new business models have evolved, including Busstop Espresso and Daddows Pizza.

Plans have been approved for three shops,

with offices above, at the vacant Emerald Street site opposite the Amcal Pharmacy.

Council has also received a development application from Kings Group Pty Ltd to build a car wash in Elm Street. Currently before council is a proposal for affordable social housing in a tiny house complex.

In July, CARA was involved in community consultation for the proposed new Cooroy Police Station.

Our Facebook page, Cooroy Community Noticeboard, was used to gauge public opinion on the designs and a submission was later presented to the police department.

2022 The Hinterland Adventure Playground opened

in May following a dramatic flooding event that saw the whole site covered with overflow from Cooroy Creek and stormwater from the town’s CBD. The playground has been beautifully vegetated, and is popular with residents and visitors alike, although there are some issues which must be addressed, such as polluted stormwater entering the drain, shade sails over the play equipment, and improved water quality in the wading pool.

The GemLife appeal in the Planning and Environment Court, lodged in April 2021, is progressing slowly. However, a mediation session has been scheduled for 13 December and a trial will be booked to run for several days, early next year. CARA is a co-respondent with

Noosa Council in the appeal.

The transition of West Cooroy State Forest to National Park status, which is awaiting a report on existing resources and perhaps some final harvesting, still appears to be achievable.

The CARA Facebook page has grown from around 9200 members this time last year to nearly 14,000 this year. The page is a great communication tool, feedback source, and a way of keeping our residents up-to-date with the latest planning applications, local events, council information, employment, and even information on exercise classes, lost pets, car accidents, and the best tradies.

Finally, thanks to our committee and ordinary members, and to our councillors and local state MPs for their support this year.

Sunshine Coast businessman takes LifeFlight helm Prominent Sunshine Coast businessman and longtime advocate for RACQ LifeFlight Rescue, Brendon Murray, has been named as the new chair of the Sunshine Coast and South Burnett Regional Advisory Commitee.

He was appointed to the role after four years as deputy chair and is a founding member of the committee.

Mr Murray will replace former chair, Jocelyn Walker, who was recently appointed as the region’s first LifeFlight vice-patron.

“The new role is an absolute honour,“ Mr Murray said.

“They are very big shoes to fill, but to succeed someone of Jocelyn’s calibre is very exciting.

“The energy and talent in our current Regional Advisory Committee is what will bolster the success of our base, and I could not be more eager to start my new role.“ Mr Murray first became involved with 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 December, 2022

New local LifeFlight chair Brendon Murray LifeFlight as a gala ball sponsor but was soon inspired to take on a more active role after seeing the vital work the Sunshine Coast crews undertake within the community.

“There are many fantastic causes on the

Sunshine Coast, and they all do wonderful things for our community, but what sets LifeFlight apart is that it is a cause for everyone who lives on the Sunshine Coast as well as those who visit,“ he said.

“Our committee’s aim is to ensure we raise enough funds so the aircraft and crews can keep flying and be there for the next person who needs rescuing.“ Mr Murray said he would focus on continuing the success of the Sunshine Coast gala balls, lobbying on behalf of LifeFlight with local government representatives, and expanding the Fuelies sponsorship program.

“Brendon has been a guiding force in the Sunshine Coast and South Burnett Regional Advisory Committee since its inception,“ said LifeFlight Board chairman Rob Borbidge.

“Just recently, at the 2021 gala dinner, Brendon went from table to table, selling tickets to raffle off a beautiful diamond donated by his firm and ended up raising $33,500 on the night.

“Brendon’s passion for the region and RACQ LifeFlight Rescue’s critical aeromedical work has been invaluable to us and we welcome him as chair.“

STAs Noosa Do we really need these laws or is there a simpler way to manage this situation?

I think it’s time that we look at the true situation re the Short Term Stays situation that we have inherited from Tony Wellington’s council.

(Firstly, I want to declare that I do not own a holiday rental or does my business manage any holiday rentals.)

No one wants a noisy neighbour. But you can have annoying, noisy neighbours, whether they be owner occupiers, permanent tenants or holiday rentals. What do people do now if an owner occupier or permanent tenant makes noise or abuses local laws?

Ask yourself the question….Why did owners gravitate to Air BnB and other self-management platforms?

When the transition to these platforms took off, the economy wasn’t going great. I believe it was the rising cost of the management of their properties that made property owners see an opportunity to increase their rental returns and incomes through self-management.

Times were tough and so people were looking at saving every dollar they could.

The question no one has asked…. Has the number of STS properties really increased or have they simply gone from being managed by holiday rental companies to being self-managed?

When STA’s were being introduced, the Wellington Council could not answer two simple questions… How many complaints re STA were made in the previous 12 months?

And if they didn’t know the number, what action was taken re these complaints?

Again, they didn’t know. Yet we now find ourselves in this situation.

I am not sure if they knew how many STS properties there were in Noosa or if they have an accurate figure now.

Add to this, I have spoken to staff at council who take calls re these STA laws that have been brought in and the ones I have spoken to have expressed their sheer frustration with the way

this fiasco has been handled, as it is a bureaucratic nightmare for them.

So, is there a better way?

I’m sure there is a simpler way to deal with the problem.

Do we really need added bureaucracy in our lives?

Big Brother watching I thought I would share this as I find it pretty weird beyond George Orwell’s imagination.

We have a Google Nest device set up by our son, an IT specialist, last Christmas. It is very versatile, and provides instant info on a range

of questions, streams your favourite music on request, even tells jokes among other clever tricks.

When I say “Hey Google, good morning“ it (female voice) replies “Good morning John, the weather today at ..... . “ then she switches to the latest news headlines from the ABC, Sky News etc. All good.

But this morning after telling me today would be raining here (it is), she said “Just a reminder John, your Samsung phone is at 46 per cent and needs recharging“.

I immediately went to my mobile which was nowhere near the Google Nest, and saw that yes it was at 46 per cent and I plugged it in as suggested. But how the heck could she/ it/Google Girl know that? I don’t use my mo-

Laws to protect animals gravated breach of duty of care was just one of a range of changes being made to the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001.

“This follows the first major review of the Act in 20 years and extensive community consultation with over 2300 Queenslanders,” Mr Furner said.

“Queenslanders want to see animals better protected and people who don’t comply punished appropriately, and that is exactly what these updated laws provide,” he said.

“Key changes include a new offence of breach of duty of care, which carries a maximum penalty of 2000 penalty units ($287,500) or three years’ jail.“ He said the new laws aimed to facilitate “the ethical use of animals for scientific purposes while ensuring that animal welfare is not compromised“.

Mr Furner foresaw the “greater use of animal welfare directions to enforce compulsory codes of practice, extending inspectors’ powers to enter a place to provide shelter to an animal, recognition of interstate prohibition orders, and a new power for an inspector to enter a livestock processing facility when a horse is being processed.

“Dogs must be secured while travelling on a tray of a vehicle, or a trailer attached to a vehicle. A dog’s body (other than its head) must not protrude from an open window. (Dogs assisting in moving livestock are exempt.)“ Firing or blistering of horses and dogs will also be banned, along with the CSSP pig poison.

There will be a new framework for cattle procedures accreditation schemes, including lay pregnancy testing and implemention of “some of the Martin Inquiry recommenda-

tions on the treatment of racehorses“.

Improved training of animal welfare inspectors is also intended by the law, which will implement “some of the recommendations of the Queensland Audit Office to improve the appointment and training of inspectors and the governance of animal welfare investigations and prosecutions by the RSPCA Queensland.“ Mr Furner said for many Queenslanders keeping pets was part of their great lifestyle, and the changes reflected the protection that Queenslanders wanted for their animals.

“Being able to love and keep pets like dogs is an important part of many people’s lives and Queenslanders want those pets to have strong protections,” he said.

“Queenslanders want animals treated with care and respect and the updated Animal Care and Protection Act will contribute to that.”

Queensland animal managers and pet owners will face fines approaching $300,000 or up to three years’ jail under new animal welfare laws, if they breach their duty of care and cause the death, disablement or prolonged suffering of an animal.

The new laws will apply to farmers, trainers and pet owners alike.

They will also include the substance of recommendations to better regulate the animal cruelty responsibilities of the RSPCA. Under Queensland’s first update of animal welfare laws in more than two decades, pronged dog collars will be banned and animal welfare inspectors subject to better training and governance, as well as being given new powers to save a distressed animal.

Carols Cruise ready to sail

By Erle Levey Picnic hampers packed, blankets wrapped and songlists open... everything is in readiness for the annual Carols Cruise on Noosa River this evening, Friday 9 December.

The community feedback has been well received again this year with many looking forward to another magnificent evening cruising along the river in convoy while enjoying the sound of the festive season performed by the Sunshine Coast Oriana Choir and Youth Choir.

The Oriana Choir will be aboard the Noosa Ferry while the Youth Choir will be at the parkland stops along Noosa Sound and at Lions Park in Noosa Heads.

Community members are looking forward to enjoying a family picnic at one of the parkland stops and joining in some Christmas carols sung by the Youth Choir and having the Oriana Choir come to join them aboard Noosa Ferry.

Those with their own boats wanting to join in the cruise can meet the Noosa Ferry in front of stop 1, Ravenwood Park, at 5pm.

Stop 2: 5.30pm Noosa Park West, Stop 3: 6pm at Settler’s Cove Park (accessible by Settler’s Cove Resident’s only), Stop 4: 6.30pm at Lions Park Noosa Heads.

You can choose what stop based on the song-list found on the Reed & Co website: reedandco.co/carolcruise2022/ To be in the know for next year’s event, you can sign up to the Carols Cruise mailing list via reedandco.co Those homeowners and holiday-makers who are fortunate to be on the path the Noosa Ferry travels are hosting events at their homes and accommodation to enjoy the carols as they cruise past.

Many boating enthusiasts are thrilled to be a part of the experience following the Noosa Ferry along the beautiful Noosa River while others are looking forward to gathering with

year end, or work to put final arrangements in place for Christmas Day itself.

“There are presents to buy, gifts to wrap, food to plan, the annual mega-house and yard clean up, even the garage.

“It can often feel like a roller-coaster road – you’ve been climbing your way to the top, looking forward to the view all year – but then things start to speed up faster and faster and it’s almost like time is against you as each day flicks past.

“That’s when carol events come to the rescue. Like a pilot light guiding ships safely to

shore, these events are a warm welcome, a moment to pause, pull up a picnic blanket, take a breath and sing.

“There’s nothing quite like a grand rendition of ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’ to release the stress and create a sense of warm happiness – reminding us of the great things about this time of year.

“Extra moments with loved ones, a slower pace as most businesses look for a well-earned rest, time for some recuperation and reflection before we bring in the new year.

“For choir members of Oriana, it’s often a time to share their passion and talents with those in the community that don’t necessarily have the option of attending one of their three major events in the year.’’

As young members of the choir have reflected: “This is an opportunity to give – to share his time and voice with the community as we come together to bring in the festive season.’’

Immersed in show

By Abbey Cannan Sunshine Coast locals joined a crowd of more than 28,000 to watch Grammy-award winning RUFUS DU SOL in Brisbane on Saturday 26 November.

The live-electronic trio finished a North American tour and headed home for this longawaited performance during their eight-stop Surrender tour across Australia and New Zealand.

Walking to the Brisbane Showgrounds, it was clear to see just how massive the band’s fan base really is, with people filling the streets like a flock of sheep.

It was a quick and easy entry into the venue, until walking up the stairs where you could hear people at the top gasping “Woah“.

Once we hit the top of these stairs, I realised exactly what they were shocked by, which was the view of 28,000 people packing every inch of the main arena.

Prior to the Covid pandemic it may not have been as unbelievable to witness, but it’s been a while since music fans have been able to enjoy a live show among thousands of others.

The crowd was a mixed bag of young and old, proving how broad of a reach the trio have around the world.

During the show, lead singer Tyrone Lindqvist told the audience how exciting it was to be playing the last shows of their world tour in Australia.

“It’s been three years since we’ve played in Australia,“ he said.

It was an immersive live experience, living up to their unique reputation after taking out a Grammy Award for best dance recording earlier this year.

The group kept the spectators dancing for hours, with lit-up smiling faces as far as you could see.

The last leg of the tour of their ARIA number one album, Surrender, which was released in October 2021, was a real treat for Queenslanders.

From the yearning for love and romance in Surrender’s opening track Next To Me, to the hopeful emotions portrayed in Alive, and anguished sense of On My Knees; the album, and live performance, demonstrates RUFUS DU SOL’s ability to separate themselves from other stadium-selling live artists, writing songs that consistently enthral the individual just as successfully as a crowd of thousands.

The sold-out show was a phenomenon to witness, with people searching for tickets on social media up until the day, begging for someone to sell their ticket.

The group kept spectators dancing for hours.

The live-electronic trio finished a North American tour and headed home.

A crowd of 28,000 watched Grammy-award winning RUFUS DU SOL in Brisbane on Saturday.

New book for Noosa author When Noosa-based mindset and wellness coach, Lisa Morgan started to see how many of her clients’ negative childhood beliefs were impacting on their adult lives, she decided to do something about it.

Lisa’s new book The Mindful Monkey and Friends is created for children from four to seven years old.

The interactive, illustrated book takes children on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment driven by its main characters the Pretty Pigeon, Kind Kangaroo, Miss Chief Molly and of course, the Mindful Monkey.

The book’s storyline and activities allow children to identify and experience feelings of courage, self-love, confidence and kindness, helping to counteract other feelings such as low self-esteem, fear and anxiety that can continue way beyond childhood.

The book’s beautiful and whimsical original illustrations are created by talented 18 year old artist Gracie Whitter, the daughter of one of Lisa’s childhood friends.

“While this book has always been a dream of mine, now seems like the perfect time for the world to receive it,“ Lisa said.

“The past few years have been challenging for many families including disruptions to school and work routines and the rising costs of living.

“These stresses, and sometimes throw-away comments from adults to children can inadvertently impact on a child’s mental and physical well-being.

“The words and tools in the book help children to feel safe, confident, valued and loved. The Mindful Monkey and Friends is a fun way to set children on the right path to becoming happier and healthier adults through the joy of reading and practicing elements in the book including mindfulness, simple yoga poses and meditation.”

Although the book launched only days ago, Lisa and Gracie are already planning their next creation.

The Mindful Monkey and Friends will soon be a series of books with each character having its own story.

Copies of The Mindful Monkey and Friends can be ordered online from Amazon in electronic or paperback format at tinyurl.com/re48jffm Bulk orders for bookstores, schools, kindergartens, libraries or fundraising initiatives are also welcome. Contact the author via email at lisamorgan123@hotmail.com

Thirteen year old Ben Blackwell scoring his 61 in 5th Grade last Saturday.

Kent Officer scores 205no

By Randall Woodley The same day that Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne scored his second century of the Test match in Perth, Tewantin-Noosa Thunder’s veteran player Kent Officer scored 205 not out and sixth grader, Wayne (Saus) Moore notched up a ton.

As well as those great batting efforts, Thunder’s First Grade bowler, Ben Laughlin took 6 for 24 against Gympie to finish the match with 11 wickets.

First Grade: Lewis Waugh and Ben Laughlin dominated the team’s outright win against Gympie Gold which was completed last Saturday. After Day 1 Gympie was two wickets down for 21 in their second innings, still eight runs behind Thunder’s score.

After resuming the match, it did not take long for Tom Stewart to strike, removing one of the Gympie danger-men. The bowling was ridiculously tight keeping them to 5-55 off 43 overs at lunch.

They scraped along to 92 before a five-minute light rain delay.

All it did was fire up Ben Laughlin and he took two wickets in the first two balls after the break which saw Gympie lose 3 for 0. Ultimately they were all out 103.

Laughlin picked up six wickets to go with his first innings bag of five to give him 11-37 for the match. Their batsmen found him almost unplayable in the conditions with a bit of inconsistent bounce in the pitch.

That left Thunder 44 overs to chase 83. After losing an early wicket, Ben Claypole and Lewis Waugh put on 50 to see the game in control.

Thunder passed the score two down with 22 overs left.

Waugh was unbeaten on 40 to go with 56 not out in the first innings.

Next week the team is at home against Coolum Sharks.

Second Grade: Yandina resumed at 1-17 chasing 170 and started aggressively with their shots, punishing anything short.

Tyron De Kauwe bowled a great opening spell of 10 straight overs.

Pete Walker got the breakthrough with a brilliant run-out at 62. All the bowlers kept at their tasks and eventually Adam Curry took the much-needed next wicket. T hey finished their first innings on 210 to take the points. Top wicket takers for Thunder were De Kauwe 3-69, Tiernan Crowley 2-44 and Adam Curry 2-23 Third Grade: The team had a disappointing loss to Yandina. Resuming on day two at 4 for 75, chasing Yandina’s 148, the boys fell short of the target. Yandina batted a second time and when stumps were drawn Thunder had them 6-122.

Nest Saturday the team is at home to Caboolture., Fifth Grade: A day for the master and the apprentice.

The team returned to Mat Thornhill Oval on a very windy day with Coolum resuming at 8-276. They batted for another hour with wickets to Rory Ramsden (2-33) and Ben Shaw (1-9)

The Master and the Apprentice. Kent Officer and Ben Blackwell congratulating each other on their 233 run partnership.

After losing an early wicket, Tony Watson settled in with Ben Blackwell until Watson fell with the score at 2-33.

With the game now in the balance it was a question on whether to chase the runs or to try and bat out for the draw.

Then veteran and Queensland Over 60 player, Kent Officer strolled to the crease.

From that point on it was a masterclass from Kent, very well supported by 13-year-old Ben Blackwell with the pair putting on a 233-run partnership before Ben was dismissed on 61 to have the team at 3-266 and closing quickly on the target.

Ben achieved his first 50 in the senior grade and played an extremely mature innings for one so young.

A superb knock from Ben Shaw 38* including three sixes of his own, and Kent 205* (off 134 balls) got Thunder well and truly across the line to finish on 3-363 at the close of play.

Kent’s innings was pure class with 16 fours and 15 sixes, including an over of six sixes.

The record books are being searched to find the last time a Thunder batsmen (if ever) hit six sixes in one over. At this stage the club is not sure where Kent’s knock sits in his or the club’s history books but all the other players and spectators agreed it was fantastic innings to watch.

Congratulations Kent. That win should see the team cement their position in the top four.

Sixth Grade: On day 2 of the match, Thunder was 0-61 chasing USC’s first innings score of 173.

Things started well with young Bailey Hozier continuing on from the previous week blasting a few boundaries in the first few overs. Bailey and Craig Moore had the score ticking over nicely till Bailey (34) was out.

He was quickly followed by Moore and then two more quick wickets had USC sensing a victory.

Then Wayne Moore and Naveen Chand came together in the middle and that’s where USC’s joy ended. Moore and Chand put on a great display taking the score past USC’s before Nav went for 73 and Moore retired soon after for 114. Thunder finished the day on 9-320 with the win keeping them in the top four on the ladder.

Womens Grade: Another win to the women’s team against Glasshouse Green last Sunday.

After losing the toss the Thunder girls batted first.

Kirsty (19) and Melinda opened the batting and after a bit of a slow start managed to put on some runs. Melinda (28) then had the chance to bat with her daughter Lily who took the family bragging rights with a quick fire 34 retired.

The team finished on 3 for 132 with Petrina on 15.

The Thunder bowlers kept the pressure on the Glasshouse girls and kept them to 8 for 87 off the 20 overs. One of the highlights was the bowling of young gun second gamer Bonnie who took a respectful 2-20. Others to snag wickets were Mel, Petrina and Kirsty. Great job Thunder women!

Junior Grades Under 13s A: The team had a convincing win over Glasshouse Gold last Saturday. They scored 8 for 134 and then bowled the opposition out for 59. Top scorers for Thunder were Will Stewart (40) and Cooper Maloney (25*).

Best bowler for Thunder was Eddie Lewis with 2 for 2.

Under 15as: Despite a great team effort the 15s went down to Cooroy-Eumundi. The opposition scored 7 for 213 whilst Thunder were all out for 169. Top scorers for Thunder were Rory Ramsden 68 not out and Matt Riddle 25.

Our People Ron Lane

Seahorse nipper Daisy with the volunteers.

Ron Lane and Anton Mogg

A salute to Our People With Christmas Day just weeks away I think it is only right that we in the Noosa Shire take the opportunity to stop, think and say thanks.

Thanks to those organisations and unpaid volunteers, who down through the year, have contributed their time and effort to raise the funds necessary to help those in need.

One such organisation would be the Smile for a Child and the other, the group responsible for the Access Beach Mats on Noosa’s main beach. These mats have made our beautiful beach easily accessible to all young mothers with prams and those who better years are behind them.

The Smile for a Child group which was formed in 2007 has the distinction of having Evonne Goolagong Cawley stand as patron and her support which has been ongoing for several years is so noted.

To date this this group has raised in excess of $510,000 for local childrens charities. One function for which they have become some what famous is the annual Noosa Combined Clubs Smile for a Child Charity Golf Day hosted by the Noosa Golf Club.

Held in September, it is the initiative of six clubs in the Noosa area. The Surf Club Sunshine Beach, the Surf Club Noosa Heads, Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, Noosa RSL, Cooroy RSL and the Noosa Golf Club.

Sunshine Coast Charities that benefit from such a function are Starlight Foundations, Sunshine Butterflies, Noosa Seahorse Nippers, Sunny Kids and the K.I.D.S. Foundations. This charity got off to a good start when in their inaugural year they raised $32,000 and since then they have not looked back.

Down through the years there have been occasions when donations have been made to families that have been hit by a tragedy. All in all, a charity to be admired. They also conduct a major art union and for this, prizes are donated by local business houses.

Organisers wish to acknowledge Sharp Sunshine Coast, Hotel Laguna, Bella Casa Noosa, Munna Beach Apartments, Andari Holiday Apartments, Rise Noosa Apartments and Sofitel Resort. All monies raised stays local and with no admin fees, all work is done by volunteers or club staff.

Recently, the Noosa Surf Club hosted a Smile for a Child luncheon at which the Noosa Seahorse Nippers chairman Steve Mawby received a cheque for $5000. This was presented by their patron Dawn Fraser, another great Australian who has not hesitated to give her time and assistance to this worthy cause. Jordie Mercer another patron was unable to attend and sent her best wishers.

Over the years there has been many who have donated their time and effort. Just to name a few Little Jo Power, Tony Hack, Tony and Linda Jedynak, Donald McKill, Dr Susie O’Neill, Rod McCall, Leeanne Walsh, Darren Lehmann and Tony Giles.

These are just a few of the many, who, when it comes to care and consideration for our children are always there. But perhaps the most noted of all is the Noosa Club manager Anton Mogg (involved since the beginning) and the man himself Glenn Puckeridge.

Affectionally known to one and all as Puck, 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 December, 2022

The beach access mat has proved popular for all abilities. this fundraiser extraordinaire, definitely has no equal within the boundaries of our community. To people such as these we are proud to say they are indeed Our People.

Beach mats For several months, we have watched in absolute amazement as mother nature has given us what must be the longest and widest sandy beach ever in living memory.

However, with such visual beauty there came, until now, a major problem. The great expansion of Noosa’s wide, golden, soft, sandy beach, made crossing to the waters’ edge, something of a problem for many of our visitors, locals and tourists Young mothers with strollers, Nipper parents with small children, elderly people with knees that have seen better days (like yours truly) and those who are simply not up to the effort required for such a walk, a walk that in days gone by would end with a swim in the in the beautiful waters of Noosa.

But then there came a concept that greatly reduced this problem. They called it the Beach Access Mats. Stretching from the boardwalk almost to the water’s edge, these mats were definitely a god send, for it made the long difficult walk so much easier.

The success of the mats, totally supported by our lifeguards, is something that needs to be addressed and above all continued.

This means that a day at our beach with the family would no longer be restricted to the fit and healthy. Also, it makes those in wheelchairs aware that we in the Noosa community, care about their welfare.

Now when you walk these mats, we at Noosa Today invite you to stop and read the names of those who made this project a reality. They are marked on a beach mat for all to see - Sandy Bolton local member, the Noosa Shire Council, and above all, another of our great volunteer organisation, the Noosa Tewantin Lions.

The success of these mats, totally supported by our lifeguards, is something that needs immediate attention. There is definitely a need for another set.

However, if this should come up for discussion, all aspects of the time, placement and beach safety, must be guided by our local lifeguards and their recommendations strictly

Noosa Main Beach’s new access mat makes a dip in the ocean accessible for all.

Donald McKill (Seahorse Nippers) Glenn ‘Puck’ Puckeridge (Smile for a Child) and patron Rod MCCall adhered to. After all, beach safety is their profession.

With visitation to our beach on a massive increase, a second Beach Access Mat would be of great benefit. Regarding the financial aspect, I feel that there are those who were not fully aware, when first approached, of the massive benefit obtained from such a project.

With the Smile for a Child charity, plus the success of the Beach Access Mats all done by volunteer fund raisers and support workers, it makes us proud: a good year made possible by, Our People.

To all Our People involved in these charities and this project, many thanks and Merry Christmas.

Sophie McCulloch.

Sophie McCulloch blazing at the Haleiwa Challenger.

Men’s winner John-John Florence.

Sophie’s dream comes true In surfing it doesn’t get much closer than the margin by which Sunny Coaster Sophie McCulloch qualified for the 2023 World Championship Tour last weekend in Hawaii.

After winning the Haleiwa Challenger in hard-charging style in seriously challenging North Shore waves, the relatively unknown 22-year-old uni student from Alexandra Headland moved up four places to take the fifth and final slot above the qualifying line for next year’s women’s tour ahead of Portugal’s Teresa Bonvalot on the basis of having won more heats throughout the Challenger Series.

Both surfers finished the seven-event qualifying series on 25,490 points from their four best results - a first, two thirds and a ninth, but Sophie won more heats to get there. Unexpected joy from one competitor, tears for the other.

The goofy-footer Bonvalot, who finished third at Haleiwa after a gutsy display on the big, gnarly rights, was gracious in defeat, but broke down and wept during a podium interview.

Gathering herself, she said quietly: “It was not my time.”

Sophie, on the other hand, seemed to grow in confidence as she progressed through quarters and semis to reach the final, where (we knew but she didn’t) she needed to win and have Teresa finish no higher than third to qualify. With local girl Bettylou Sakura Johnson in brilliant form on her home break, it seemed it was destined to come agonisingly close but not close enough. But who knew that Sophie would dig so deep and surf Haleiwa’s tricky sections like she’d been doing it all her life.

With less than 10 minutes to go she had all but wrapped up the win, with Bettylou needing a perfect 10 to catch her. But the danger was Teresa who, after a slow start, had found her rhythm. She jumped from fourth to third and was dangerously close to qualification.

The door opened a little in the last minutes as Sophie used her priority to take a wave, leaving Teresa unguarded. But no wave came.

A nail-biting and famous victory, and Sophie couldn’t hide her delight when she climbed onto the back of water reporter Strider Wasilewski’s jet ski for a ride to the beach.

But she didn’t know she’d qualified. It wasn’t until her supporters came running to the water’s edge to chair her to the podium that she finally understood – she was in the five The humble and hardworking biomedical science student spoke eloquently at the beach presentations, thanking her supporters and coach, everyone’s mate and former longboard

It was poetic justice for Liam, who qualified at Haleiwa a year ago but missed the 2022 WCT after a serious injury in the warm-up at Pipeline. Not so lucky were Dylan Moffit, Morgan Cibilic and Jacob Willcox, who threatened at Haleiwa but finished just below the cut.

Full list of Challenger Series qualifiers for the 2023 World Surf League Championship Tour: Mens: 1) Leonardo Fioravanti (Italy), 2) Ryan Callinan (NSW), 3) Rio Waida (Indonesia), 4) Maxime Huscenot (France), 5) Ramzi Boukhiam (Morocco), 6) Michael Rodrigues (Brazil), 6) Ian Gentil (Hawaii), 8) Joao Chianca (Brazil), 9) Liam O’Brien (Qld), 10) Ezekiel Lau (Hawaii).

Womens: 1) Bettylou Sakura Johnson (Hawaii), 2) Macy Callaghan (NSW), 3) Molly Picklum (NSW), 4) Caitlin Simmons (USA), 5) Sophie McCulloch (Qld).

Coco shines at Cylinders Meanwhile, at the Woolworths Australian Juniors at Cylinders Beach on North Stradbroke Island, Tewantin’s Coco Cairns led the girls’ onslaught to produce some amazing moves

on finals day and take out the prestigious Under 18 division, thereby qualifying to represent Australia at next year’s ISA World Juniors alongside boys’ Under 18 winner Harley Walters of Angourie.

Coco capped off a great last year as a junior and was lost for words when asked about her win in and making the 2023 National team.

“I’m stoked, it’s sick,” she said.

But she wasn’t the only stoked Noosa girl on the beach.

Sunshine Beach’s Eliza Richardson was the Under 14 Girls winner.

She said: “It felt really good because I was nervous and against really hard competitors, but yeah, I’m stoked to win.” Sister Rosie finished third.

NSW and Queensland dominated the competition with all six new Australian champions hailing from the two states, and Queensland, captained by Noosa’s Ben Lorentson, topping the points tally for the first time in 22 years.

More on the boys next week.

It was an impressive start to her rookie year in the dream tour limelight, but when asked about her upcoming debut in the New Year at the Banzai Pipeline, she responded honestly. “I’m trying not to think about it – I’m so scared!”

In the men’s event finals day was dominated by the return to his best of injury-plagued superstar John-John Florence, who surfed brilliantly on home turf, seeming to toy with the heavy-breaking waves as he notched up nearperfect scores.

Ryan Callinan was the top-finishing Australian, surfing superbly to reach the final where he was outclassed by a rampaging Florence, finishing fourth and improving his qualifying position to second on the list of 10 above the cut-line.

RyCal will make a welcome return to the WCT next year, as will the Gold Coast’s Liam O’Brien who finished ninth in the rankings despite an early exit at Haleiwa.

AUCTION OF EDDIE’S COTTAGE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IT was a day filled with emotion - for buyers, sellers and the agents.

Warren Evans and Roger Omdahl of Laguna Real Estate had five registered bidders on Saturday for the auction of the one-bedroom, one-bathroom riverfront house at 45 Noosa River Dve, Noosa North Shore.

It had been home to Eddie Vaughan for more than 20 years, a retired engineer who spent many hours clearing rubbish from the banks of the Noosa River.

This included a huge collection of fishing lures that had been lost, tangled or discarded by anglers.

The house, on 966sq m with jetty, slipway and long river views, saw auctioneer Justin Voss call for bidding at 11am Saturday.

The auction was held in front of Laguna’s Tewantin office.

Warren rang the bell in the traditional Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car waterfront townhome at 2/67 Gibson Rd, Noosaville, goes to auction at 3pm on Wednesday, December 21. 310139 way to start proceedings.

“There were people in the street,’’ Warren said.

“Eddie’s family was in attendance.

“There were people everywhere and away it went. Justin did a fabulous job.

“A local bidder registered on the Friday and got bidding away.

“Justin then took it to $2m on behalf of the vendors.

“There were three active bidders and he sought further instructions at $2.220m.’’

Bidders were from the Darling Downs, Brisbane and local, and activity quickly heated up.

“Five-60 over two,’’ the auctioneer called, “yabba dabba do.’’

Yet there was more to come - 2.6, 2.610 then finally the knock-out of $2.650m.

It was the locals who won out on the day and there were tears of joy as well as emotion from buyers, sellers and just maybe the agents because Eddie was so well known in the community.

It was a great finish to an exciting year for Warren who also sold the River House by auction, which was virtually next door.

And his golden rule?

“Treat others as you want to be treated.’’

ESTABLISHING A TRADITION The last auction for the year in Noosa ... it’s becoming somewhat of a tradition for Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate.

Last year he took 4 White Beech Rd, Noosa Heads, to auction at the same time and the same day - the Wednesday before Christmas.

That sold at auction for $1.930m.

So the auction of the two-bedroom, twobathroom, waterfront townhome at 2/67 Gibson Rd, Noosaville, at 3pm Wednesday, December 21, will have a familiar ring to it.

Peter is getting good inquiry on the property, that has been held by overseas owners for more than 20 years.

“They loved coming to Noosa for holidays and looked at what were new apartments at the time.

“They fell in love with the townhome and the outlook, and have holidayed here over the years.

“It’s sheltered from the south-easterly winds and it is so peaceful when the sun is setting.

“This should be a great entry-level

Noosa Waters property.’’

Entry on the north side is into a private tiled courtyard. Sand-hued tiles in the dining area flow through to the free-flowing carpeted living space with cushy cane armchairs, mocha leather sofas, and glass sliders that amplify the indoors-out effect.

A timber terrace stretches the width of the townhome.

The galley-style kitchen comes with stone-topped bench and island/breakfast bar, high-end appliances and heaps of storage.

Upstairs, off the hallway, are two sunny bedrooms with plush carpet and built-in robes. The king-size main suite comes with large bathroom.

The second bedroom on the north side has double and single beds plus an ensuite.

Downstairs is a fully-equipped laundry and a powder room.

With multiple living areas, there’s expansive lawn from the alfresco terrace to the revetment wall.

A comprehensive inventory of furniture, fixtures and fittings is designed to cater for the high-end holiday market.

ON THE COVER

ALLURING FOUR MOUNTAIN ESTATE REVEL in the sweeping driveway of a substantial estate, wreathed by verdant offerings and the majestic natural assets of Mt Cooroy, Mt Tinbeerwah, Mt Cooroora and Black Mountain. As the gates slide away behind the high stone wall, think undeniable luxury, indisputable privacy and breathtaking incomparable everything else.

On an idyllic knoll, imposing Four Mountain Estate soaks up endless skies, hectares of lush pastures, glistening dams, the meandering Six Mile freshwater creek, manicured lawns, and gardens.

Poised centre stage and stealing the limelight however belongs to the residence, fashioned with visionary eyes and intelligent structural design responses in 2018, to connect to the spectacular location and preserve the 360-degree eagle’s eye views.

Open the tall statement timber doors into the entry foyer for the big reveal.

Sophisticated higher-than-high living spaces with picture windows, stretch the width of the residence, the feature fireplace with stone surround is wood burning, natural light shadow dances over the French oak floors, and doors seemingly disappear on the northerly side to coalesce with the infinite Italian-tiled undercover terrace, and a massive area of abutting lawn.

The designer outdoor kitchen has slideaway windows which open to the stonetopped servery benches and barbeque.

Overall, the area spells year-round alfresco entertaining for big celebrations and family barbeques. Let us not forget about loving the good life even more in the dazzling pool or lolling under an umbrella on the sun terrace.

In keeping with being oversized, it is a similar story in the kitchen and butler’s pantry with stone-topped grey cabinetry including the island bench. The splashback is a picture window, Miele appliances are the latest and there is sufficient storage and bench space for any culinary superstar.

When it comes to bedroom bliss the king master suite holds the trump card. Push open the striking carved vintage doors with large padlocks, admire the pool and Mt Cooroy. Note the monochromatic palette and size, similarly the walk-in robe and ensuite with grey Italian stone tiles and oval free-standing bath tub, where you can also drink in the views as you soak away.

Nearby are two bedrooms, one has a walk-in robe and the other is currently a dedicated office.

Off the living area is a family room and the west wing with very large two bedrooms and walk-in robes. One has an ensuite and a family-sized bathroom has a bathtub.

There is a powder room, laundry with storage plus the all-essential mud room with access from the 3-car garage. Close to the residence are myriad wonderful attributes such as a pretty cubby house with bunk beds, sunken fire pit and custom seating, chicken coup, vegetable/herb gardens and two dams with one used for wakeboarding. One guest cabin is fully furnished and self-contained, another sleeps seven.

“Apart from pastures, paddocks and yard designed for cattle, also stables, machinery and a big shed, everything essential has been considered,“ enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart. “Add water tanks, irrigation, underground power, fencing and much more, this lifestyle is driving a surge in demand for those looking for a rural playground, which in this case is 19 minutes to cafe central by the Noosa River.

Who could ask for anything more?

From the high side of the fetching leafy street, admire the statement façade with tall timber slats and an imposing timberframed, glass-panelled front door into the lofty foyer. Such an almighty tease of what lies ahead as the northerly sun shadow dances across the American oak floors and continues along the hallway with its picture windows and banks of louvres.

Naturally, with varying ceiling heights, the generous living and dining spaces are also drenched with sunshine plus the cool beachy aesthetic coalesces with outdoors, thanks to disappearing sliders making an immediate connection.

Families will find the undercover terrace enormously attractive as it extends the width of indoors to the travertine-edged pool, wraps it on another side, while the lush established garden completes the picture of wonderful fun times alfresco.

It is commensurate in size with the rest of the residence, has pale grey stone bench tops, gas lift timber-hued upper cabinetry, designer pendants above an island bench or breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, plus all the bells and whistles needed to make every small or large occasion eventful.

COMMERCIAL COLOURFUL FUNKY CORNER IMAGINE being a stone’s throw from Lake Cootharaba foreshore in a soughtafter village with an undeniably strong community spirit, an historical landmark as its heart, and offering a buoyant healthy family lifestyle especially for those who love walking, running kayaking, canoeing, sailing and more. Oh, and let us not forget the world is your oyster if you have a desire to combine pleasure with business in say hospitality, tourism or the arts, as the property is zoned commercial town centre Boldly staking its claim in the sun on a prominent corner, stag and elkhorns drape mature gum trees, Pandanus and Dracaenas, and along the pathway gardens are studded with crucifix orchids. The colourful facade, has a quirky charm with paling signs related to the former art gallery, crystals and feng shui gardens.

Intrigue continues indoors with quotes above doorways, gingerbread-style shelving on the walls, and handcrafted doors inset with stained glass featuring fantastical characters such as the rainbow unicorn.

Adjoining the gallery is bathroom/ laundry, and upstairs are two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living area with verandah and lake views. Continuing downstairs with two adjoining single level one-bedroom self-contained studios/ ensuites with mirror image layouts including undercover patios and parking. The single garage has an adjoining workshop/garage and plenty of storage.

Close by is the Apollonian Hotel is one of the last surviving timber music hall hotels built in the 1870s. It was moved from Gympie in the late 1980s and the popular tourist attraction and local’s continue its tradition of great food and entertainment.

It is a two-minute stroll to the sandy shore of Lake Cootharaba, the popular Boreen Point Sailing Club, camping ground, Buffalo Park and cafe.

Take a tinny across to Teewah Landing and walk to the ocean for a swim; head up the River into the Everglades and either kayak, fish, camp in the many National Park camp sites; or head down River to Tewantin and Noosa Heads in sheltered waterways crossing Lake Cootharaba and Lake Cooroibah.

“Boreen Point, a beautiful and peaceful township with less than 300 residences, is understandably one of the most soughtafter places in the Noosa Shire” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata. “It is 20 minutes to cafe central on Gympie Terrace in Noosaville and just five more to famous Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach as well as the worldfamous Noosa National Park and Surfing Reserve.

“It’s impossible not be awe struck with

this golden opportunity to pursue a dream - maybe even two or three, with a residence and commercial approval given in its former life as also having an art gallery and studio accommodation.”

SINGLE LEVEL LUXURY THE house everybody wants ….single storey and with a studio!

This highly sought-after house was built in 2004/5. It was renovated in 2018 and then totally renovated in 2021.

When you open the big pivot door you can’t help but be impressed with the space that welcomes you, with the very high ceiling.

The large master bedroom overlooks the pool and has a spacious ensuite bathroom and generous walk-in dressing room.

The second, queen size bedroom has a wardrobe and a generous bathroom which it shares with bedroom three/office.

The family room looks out over a very pretty garden and the beautiful swimming pool.

Separating the family room from the lounge room and dining room is a stunning new all white kitchen, which also looks over the pool area.

As you might guess, the dining room and the lounge room also wraps around the

pool area, all testament to the great design by architect Peter Hull.

The laundry is a good size and there is a double garage and a space for the golf buggy.

Outside the house but with undercover access, is the king size studio with one of the largest ensuites of all the studio apartments and a double wardrobe.

The magnificent garden is lush, well developed, watered by an automatic irrigation system.

NOOSA TODAY 37

HOME FOCUS

PENTHOUSE WITH WIDE RIVER VIEWS THERE is only a limited number of residential properties along Gympie Terrace, often referred to as Noosa’s “Golden Mile”.

These properties are tightly held, highly prized, and snapped up quickly when they come onto the market.

And that is very easy to understand!

Lucky owners and holiday makers who live or stay on Gympie Terrace enjoy fabulous views of the pristine Noosa River and of the picturesque adjacent parklands and shady trees.

They can watch the colourful variety of watercraft floating by, including ferries, yachts, kayaks and stand-up paddles.

Swimmers can enjoy the clear waters and sandy riverbanks. A variety of fabulous coffee shops, restaurants and clothing shops are on their doorstep, and the large Noosa Village Shopping Centre is only a short walk away.

The outstanding top floor penthouse at 3/235 Gympie Terrace is in the heart of all these attractions.

It will have enormous appeal for permanent living or for buyers looking to enjoy holidays in a prime location, and earn an income at other times of the year.

The apartment would also be an ideal “lock and leave” home for the many buyers who are now down-sizing from larger homes and wanting to be able to travel without worrying about a larger, high-maintenance property.

It would be a perfect home for a buyer wanting a beautiful, quiet environment for a work from home office.

Situated on the top floor of a small, boutique complex, this large apartment boasts a highly sought- after northern aspect over the river, which bathes the apartment in light and provides cooling river breezes through the large sliding glass doors and windows.

The sparkling river views can be enjoyed from most rooms in this spacious apartment, and from the sweeping front balcony. A fabulous spot to enjoy beautiful sunsets and sunrises over the water!

The main bedroom even has its own

private balcony with river views, and on a still night the sound of the ocean waves beyond the river mouth in the distance can be heard!

The living areas feature soaring raked ceilings which create sensational volume and a modern architectural feel in the apartment. The apartment has been immaculately maintained and improved by its current owner, so there is nothing for the new owner to do except move in and enjoy!

White plantation shutters and quality blinds throughout, cool tiling, fresh painting, huge re-modelled kitchen, and new bathroom fittings have given the apartment a sharp, stylish look.

Ducted and split system air-conditioning, ceiling fans throughout, ample storage inside and out, a sparkling pool in the complex, and spacious bedrooms, complete a very attractive property which many local and interstate buyers have been waiting for. Be quick to arrange your private inspection! ●
