School’s in for preppies It was a big step for 50 preppies at Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Noosaville, who began their first year of school this week, and an equally emotional event for their parents.

There were 44,000 new preppies starting school across Queensland as part of almost 875,000 students going through the gates for the school year, about 300,000 attending private schools.

For state school teachers the first week marked their first increased pay, backdated to July, Education Minister Grace Grace said.

Noosa’s newest national park is full of uncommon and at-risk wildlife species, and wellmaintained paths that wind through sclerophyll and rainforest habitats, and this one’s on the house.

While last year’s landmark 2400-hectare Yurol-Ringtail forest hand-over came with a price tag of $3.5 million (funded equally by the state, Noosa Council and Noosa Parks Association), the conversion of the 1150-hectare West Cooroy State Forest to national park, with no plantation rights to buy, cost nothing other than the blood, sweat and tears of conservationists and true believers over almost a quarter-century.

Ironically, while Yurol-Ringtail, the vital completion of Noosa’s crescent of green where the final logging contracts have just been completed, was handed over in front of TV cameras and real, live, piddling koalas, the completion

an unremarkable forest.

But the new West Cooroy National Park is full of surprises, a fact well known to a couple

of long-time campaigners who joined Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon, Nicklin MP Rob Skelton and Noosa councillor Tom Wegener at the site.

Nominated for listing as a national park in the 1999 South East Queensland Regional Forest Agreement, West Cooroy was mysteriously sidelined a couple of years later, although Noosa Parks Association kept beating the drum for it at every opportunity. However, when former Noosa mayor Tony Wellington was elected to the amalgamated Sunshine Coast Council in 2012, he renewed the battle at local and state level.

He recalls: “It was always part of the big picture approach of converting local state forests into national parks, a vision that dates back to Dr Arthur Harrold and the Noosa Parks Association in the 1960s. Indeed, NPA has had West Cooroy State Forest on their radar for many decades.

Sunshine Coast Council launched its 10+10+ vision for what it seeks to achieve as a key delivery partner in the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The milestone document was unveiled on Tuesday at Alexandra Headland with members from the Sunshine Coast 2032 Legacy Plan Community Reference Group which has worked with council to develop a shared vision with aspirations for the region arising from the Brisbane 2032 Games.

Outcomes under the Legacy Vision include improved transport systems, including a passenger rail service from Beerwah to Maroochydore and a range of community-based programs involving First Nations, arts and culture, volunteering, disability access and the natural environment.

The vision also calls for increased hotel and accommodation options and greater participation in community sport, passive and nature-based recreation opportunities, along with delivering world class, accessible multipurpose sporting venues.

The Legacy Vision aims to guide the region’s engagement with other levels of government, the private and community sectors and Games partners.

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamie-

son said as a key partner of the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games, and with only nine years to go, council was taking this opportunity to set a legacy vision that was bespoke to the region.

“We want our Sunshine Coast community to be the beneficiaries of our involvement in the 2032 Games, with an enduring legacy for current and future generations to enjoy,” he said.

“Our council is proud to be a delivery partner for the Games and proud that our region will play host to seven Olympic and two Paralympic events across four key venues.

“The legacy is – and rightly should be – much more than our infrastructure needs.

“It also needs to encompass actions that will make a meaningful impact on the liveability and sustainability of our Sunshine Coast.

“We would be selling our community short if we did not seek to maximise the opportunities afforded from our involvement in the Brisbane 2032 Games.“ Sunshine Coast Legacy Community Reference Group Chair Dr Bridie Kean said the Brisbane 2032 Games would give us a chance to secure a real and valued impact for everyone.

“The work that has gone into shaping the

Sunshine Coast Legacy Community Reference Group Members celebrate the 10+10+ Legacy Vision launch.

Legacy Vision is, however, really just the beginning.

“The rubber hits the road in converting this vision and its aspirations into outcomes – and everyone across our community and all tiers of government has an important role to play in ensuring this becomes a reality.”

Once again this Australia Day Noosa has shown it has a rich population of highly experienced and capable individuals.

This year five residents have been recognised with a range of OA, AM and OAM awards for their work and service to the community in their chosen fields.

Congratulations to all and their families for their well-deserved awards.

We’ve also had a few sporting heroes do extraordinary things.

Surf lifesaver Kai Thompson is winning awards on the beach. Two young athletes have been kicking goals on the soccer field overseas.

And Noosa’s Olympian Kareena has taking up swim coaching.

Noosa River is again making news with beach erosion and boat ramps issues of concern.

A new national park was announced at Cooroy creating more green corridors around the shire.

And this week Noosa school children returned to the classroom.

Next week, most of NSW and Victorian schools will follow suit.

So then everyone can take a break from the hustle and bustle until Easter.

The traffic queues will disappear, there’ll be plenty of parking and it’ll be a straight run on to the North Shore ferry. Well, maybe.

New West Cooroy NP filled with nature’s delights From page 1 “When I was elected to the Sunshine Coast Council, a development proposal was submitted for an intensive chicken broiler farm on Top Forestry Road which leads into West Cooroy State Forest, so consideration had to be given to use of that road by trucks, and obviously logging trucks played into the discussion, although there was little or no logging happening at the time.

“Local residents who were opposed to the broiler farm development were also keen to see the forest become part of the conservation estate as national park.”

In 2014 Cr Wellington made representations to then Member for Nicklin Peter Wellington to secure his support for the transfer to national park. He was agreeable so the lobbying began in earnest.

His successor in the seat of Nicklin, Labor’s Rob Skelton, continued the pressure, leading to West Cooroy’s inclusion in a long list of state forest transfers announced by Minister Scanlon last month.

But the path to the transfer was a bumpy one.

Says Tony Wellington: “When I became mayor of Noosa [2016] I was already talking to the state government about West Cooroy when the Yurol/Ringtail deal was brought to us by Noosa Parks Association. As it was a complicated matter - a four way partnership between two levels of government, a community organisation and HQ Plantations - and involved significantly more land, that project took precedence and West Cooroy had to become a lesser priority.

“But I continued to raise West Cooroy in

various meetings with state ministers and bureaucrats.”

Few people understood the true value of West Cooroy better than Wellington, a keen bushwalker and nature photographer whose images of the creatures of the new park accompany this article.

He says: “From my observations, it is the last remaining stronghold for pademelons in the Noosa Shire, as well as other at risk or locally uncommon creatures such as koalas, paradise riflebirds, giant barred frogs, sooty owls, land mullets and a whole lot more.

“I understand that recent surveys by the state have also uncovered various at-risk plant species such as native guava. Use of

the West Cooroy National Park will be up to the state government, but as a repository for local species, another refuge for koalas, and a stepping stone in the corridor between Yurol/Ringtail and Mapleton National Parks, it is invaluable.

“For the hiker and nature enthusiast, there are already numerous well-maintained paths that wind through sclerophyll and rainforest habitats.”

Rod Ritchie, president of the Cooroy Area Residents Association and wildlife advocate who has kept the pressure on for West Cooroy since Wellington’s departure from elected office in 2020, told Noosa Today: “West Cooroy, Tuchekoi National Park and Woondum National Park are important hinterland reserves

with streams and rivers feeding the Mary River, which runs out to the Great Barrier Reef at Maryborough. With most of the shire’s attention and conservation efforts directed to the coast’s national parks and the Noosa River, it’s worth pointing out these hinterland natural assets are also important to the shire’s biodiversity.”

Another advocate and Cooroy resident, Cr Tom Wegener said: “Another benefit is that the trees on the Great Dividing Range generate rainfall. The Noosa coast gets four times more rain than Kingaroy, for example.

Hawaiian lore states that ‘the rain follows the trees’. Protecting our forest is essential for our water security.”

Honoured for tourism, hospitality

Scott Williams AM has been awarded Officer in the General Division of the Order of Australia.

Philanthropist for service excellence

By Abbey Cannan Always have a destination in mind, says a Noosa philanthropist who has been honoured for his distinguished service to business, to tertiary education, and philanthropic contributions.

Scott Williams AM has been awarded Officer in the General Division of the Order of Australia.

“It’s a pretty humbling experience because I’m one of just 140 people that are getting one this year,“ Mr Williams said.

“It’s a strange sort of feeling actually.“ Mr Williams moved from New South Wales to Noosa more than a decade ago, a decision based on fond childhood memories of school holiday visits in the 1950s and ‘60s.

He’s worn many hats throughout his career, from Mayor, to Deputy Chancellor, and once owned seven regional newspapers, including Noosa Today.

He spent time as chair and director of Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, was the president of Business Mentors Noosa, and was awarded Queensland Higher Education Philanthropist of the Year in 2019.

Of all these achievements, Mr Williams said his two most rewarding roles have been his own education, and using philanthropy to invest in other people’s futures.

“I would divide my most rewarding roles into two types, one is local government,“ he said.

“I started in local government in 1983, so

REGISTRATIONS

OPEN NOW

I’ve had something like 30 years in local government. That’s kept me in tune with the economic and social development of communities. So that’s been the education side for me.

“The other one that’s similar to that, is I’ve been on the governing body of two universities and I’ve been Deputy Chancellor at two universities and had about 24 years in that. That’s been educational because they’re large organisations, whereas I’m a small business person.

“I get to learn about the management of a half billion dollar year budget with a thousand staff or more.“ On the feel-good side is his philanthropy.

“I specialised in working with people who have financial limitations in regional Australia,“ he said.

“So these are people who might otherwise drop out or miss out on school or university. I think of my contributions as an investment as a sense because if I can give them a few thousand dollars now, and it gets through university, that’s a lifetime of income they will have at a higher level that they might not have had if they didn’t get through.

“I’ve been doing that for about 20 years and so far I’ve had something like 366 university students and about 1270 school age kids.

Through The Smith Family we can get kids back on track at school.“ His current goal is continuing to help small businesses through his website, 12faces.business.

“There’s a volunteer group called Busi-

ness Mentoring Noosa and they have something like 400 Noosa business that have gone through their program,“ he said.

“I work with that, and as a consequence of that I developed a website that tries to assist small business owners with their decisions.“ Having completed so much throughout his career, when asked what keeps him pushing on, Mr Williams said it’s all about the pull.

“Early on in my life I set myself a destination and a foreseeable future and thought to myself what do I need to do to get there,“ he said.

“There’s three things I’ve learnt, one is to always have a destination and the second is to use the 80/20 principle. 80 per cent of what you do is waste, only 20 per cent of what you do is worthwhile.

“So the second step is to work out the 20 per cent of things that count, to get to your destination.

“Number three is that there’s only one thing you need to concentrate on. In an hourglass, there’s a bottleneck in the middle and no matter what you do, the sand is not going to run through that pinch any faster. The only place you need to focus your time on is the bottleneck.“ Top tips from a Noosa philanthropist: 1. Always have a destination in mind.

2. Only focus on the top 20 things that count.

3. Make sure you focus on the bottleneck first, because nothing else is going to change until you fix the bottleneck.

Wendy Marea Cutting of Noosaville has been recognised in this year’s Australia Day Awards with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her service to the tourism and hospitality industry.

Ms Cutting has been a Tourism Noosa volunteer since 2006 and a volunteer coordinator of the 70-strong group of volunteers since 2007.

“Volunteers are part of our local community and they truly are a wealth of knowledge, providing visitors with information on where to stay, what experiences and tours to do, what restaurants, breweries and distilleries are in the region and, importantly, providing that local knowledge and those insider tips that visitors love to know about,“ former Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said.

“With close to 200,000 visitors each year visiting the Visitor Information Centre on Hastings Street, our volunteers are there to welcome, inform and assist visitors on things to do in the region 364 days a year.“ While Ms Cutting is enjoying a well earned break this week, Noosa Today hopes to catch up with her next week.

A trailblazer for women

By Margie Maccoll Professor Emeritus Debra Claire Henly has always been a trailblazer, leaving school at 17 to study science at university, continuing on an illustrious academic path in the male-dominated field of health sciences, rising to the position of deputy vice chancellor and capping it off this year with a well-deserved Member of the Order of Australia (AM).

The Emeritus Professor who has a PhD in biochemistry retired from Griffith University in 2021. Her long career began as a lecturer in biochemistry at Flinders University in 1984, then the University of Queensland (UQ) in 1995, progressing to a role as Professor of Biomedical Sciences at Bond University before moving to Griffith University to the position of deputy vice-chancellor.

“Obviously I’m very pleased,“ Professor Henly told Noosa Today, of her Australia Day award, as she touched on some of the standout elements in a stellar career in education administration and research and some of the achievements of which she is most proud.

Professor Henly took on her first leadership role at UQ in education in the School of Molecular and Microbial Science before moving to Bond University to be charged with setting up the medical program, leading it to its establishment and accreditation.

“It was a very exciting time, being in a privileged position of starting a program from scratch,“ she said.

“We’re missing a whole cohort of people.

In the next 10 years we will be short hundreds of thousands,“ she said. “We’ll not be able to function without a skilled workforce.“ When the Covid pandemic hit in 2020, Prof Henly, as senior deputy vice chancellor of Griffith University, was presented with “huge challenges“.

One of the priorities was moving teaching from the lecture theatres to remote learning which they achieved.

“We did it in two and a half weeks without stopping teaching. It kept the uni running,“ she said.

Prof Henly was also proud of the role of the National Science and Technology Council, which is chaired by the Prime Minister, and of which she was a member from 2019-2022, in advising the government of state-of-the-art measures that could be undertaken to reduce the spread of Covid.

In one instance the council advised government that local governments would be able to pick up evidence of Covid infections by testing sewerage, and it was adopted.

Prof Henly recently bought a “beautiful property“ at Doonan which to retire.

Since moving away from academic life she has plans to continue mentoring other women in their careers as well as immersing herself in the care and rehabilitation of her land.

Sarah Gray honoured for community health service

By Abbey Cannan Peregian Springs mother Sarah Jane Gray has been honoured with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her service to community health.

Ms Gray is the founder and chief executive officer of charity ausEE Inc. She has two daughters, one of whom, Bella, lives with eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) and was the catalyst for her forming the non-profit organisation in November 2009.

Working in a volunteer capacity for 12 years, until 2022, Ms Gray was the president

until being appointed as part time chief executive officer from 2022.

Her goal is to make sure that anyone who lives with an eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder can turn to ausEE for support and to help raise awareness for eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders in Australia.

“I was surprised when I found out about the OAM,“ Ms Gray said.

“The work that I do has always been a labour of love, so I don’t expect anything from it.

But it’s nice to be recognised.“ For every new member who joins ausEE,

Ms Gray’s passion and commitment to the organisation strengthens. She strives to improve the quality of life for all people living with eosinophilic diseases.

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) occur when a type of white blood cell, called an eosinophil (pronounced ee-oh-sinoh-fill), is found in increased numbers in the gastrointestinal tract.

“It’s a complicated rare disease,“ Ms Gray said.

“I wrote three children’s books explaining the disease to make it easier for kids to understand.“

These books include Oliva and Kate, 2015 and Meet Arabella, 2011.

“Feeding Tube Awareness Week is our charity’s next awareness campaign (5-11 February),“ Ms Gray said.

Tourism giant recognised

By Margie Maccoll Stephen Gregg was a giant of the tourism industry and a quiet and humble man who was respected by everyone in the industry.

Having passed away from cancer last September, aged 73, his posthumous Member of the Order of Australia Award (AM), for service to the Queensland Tourist Industry, is bittersweet for a family grieving his loss.

“Steve had no knowledge of the award but he would have been very humble,“ his wife Christine said.

“All his family are very proud of him. We feel it’s very deserved.“ Across the state, Stephen Gregg held senior positions that included chief executive officer of Tourism Queensland, Tourism and Events Queensland, North Queensland Airports and Ardent Leisure, owners of Dreamworld, chair of Queensland Tourism Industry Council and chair of Queensland Rail as well as executive positions in Far North Queensland.

He also found time to help out locally, serving on the board of Tourism Noosa from late 2016.

At the last Queensland Tourism awards in November Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) chair Elsa Dalessio said Stephen had made an enormous contribution to the tourism industry.

“His quiet leadership and thoughtful resolve touched many within our nation’s tourism sector,“ she said.

“The various significant outcomes he achieved for tourism will have a ripple effect that stretches across generations.

“Stephen was a man who made friends easily, and whose counsel was sought regularly.

“His considered, collaborative and ever supportive engagement with our industry will be sadly missed by all of us.”

In 2015 Stephen was awarded Queensland Tourism’s highest accolade, the Marie Watson

Blake award for an outstanding contribution by an individual to tourism.

Tourism Tropical North Queensland (TTNQ) chair Ken Chapman described Stephen as a “truly wonderful human being“ and “an inspirational leader“.

“Nobody has held such recognised leadership in Queensland tourism for so long and with such success,“ he said.

“A friend to all, Steve was a quiet and humble man, but all who knew him listened closely for his thoughtful advice, wisdom, in-

novation and passion.”

To his family Stephen was much more than “a really humble guy ... dedicated to tourism“.

“He was such a good husband and father and grandad,“ Christine said.

“We met in 1978. I was with TAA (Trans Australian Airlines) on reservations and holiday travel. He was with AAT (Australian Accommodation and Tours), in the same building. We married in 1983.

“It was such an exciting life together - a wonderful life, a wonderful family. “’Why wouldn’t you work in an industry based on friendship and hospitality to strangers’ he used to say. That was just Steve.“ His egalitarian approach made him a friend to all.

“Whether he was meeting with ministers or new employees, he was the same person to everyone,“ Christine said.

“He got on so well with the teams. They all had such fun and good times together.“ The family travelled for work and pleasure with lasting memories of hiking trips around the world.

A partnership with Bill King, a pioneer of outback travel, took them on outback ventures and opened up Australia to adventure travel.

Their relationship lasted to the end, with Bill passing away in the same month.

Stephen had a long history with Noosa having surfed here from the ‘60s.

The family lived in Brisbane while their daughters attended school, buying a beach shack at Sunshine Beach in 2010, then later building their retirement home on the site.

Stephen is survived by his wife Christine, four daughters and six grandchildren.

Holding back tears Christine said she would probably spend Australia Day with family “have a quiet day, have a toast and think of Steve“.

AUSTRALIA DAY HONOURS

Honour for helping kids Dr Susie O’Neill set up the KIDS Foundation 30 years ago to create a better life for children who have suffered serious injury and trauma and to prevent it from happening through education and empowerment and has this year been recognised for her work with an Order of Australia Medal (OAM).

Susie, who is a mother, grandmother, former preschool and primary teacher and has a PhD in education, became interested in empowering children to protect themselves in 1988 whilst studying and working alongside the Children’s Protection Society.

“On my first teaching placement I met a little girl who had cigarette burns on her hands, which led me to devote my studies and career to children at risk,“ she said.

She established the organisation after meeting a young boy in an aged care home who was recovering from injury in a ward with three men in their 90s.

“At that time in Australia, there were no rehabilitation centres for children,“ she said.

Troubled by this boy’s situation, Susie decided to do something about it and in 1993 established the KIDS (Kids in Dangerous Situations) Foundation, based in Ballarat.

Over the year the KIDS Foundation has expanded to meet requirements with bases now established in Victoria, South Australia, NSW and on the Sunshine Coast.

In 2000, the KIDS Foundation opened its first children’s rehabilitation unit – Pete’s Place – at the Queen Elizabeth Centre in Ballarat.

Later, a second refurbished unit for young people was established at the Caulfield General Medical Centre. The first child to stay in Pete’s Place was a burn survivor, and when it was time for him to return home, a national support network to assist in his recovery outside the comfort zone of the hospital could not be found. It was then that the KIDS Foundation established the Burn Survivors’ Network.

Research has revealed that more than 5000

Susie O’Neill with children helped by the KIDS Foundation.

Australian children are injured in accidents every day, and of those injured, more than 100 require hospitalisation. Preventable accidents also remain the single largest cause of childhood death in Australia.

Susie said the work of the KIDS Foundation today aims to reduce the number of children being injured to zero. Educating children, giving them the tools they need to better understand risk so that they can manage their own safety is KIDS focus. The KIDS mascot, SeeMore Safety, along with a compilation of child-friendly safety books, takes children on

a journey that encourages lifelong safety conceptualisation.

“It is through the unimaginable tragedies of others that I have found purpose,“ Susie said.

“The children and young people we work with have the most uplifting stories of transformation, determination, and resilience that has led them along a path of self-discovery and healing, to find a place of belonging. Working with hundreds of survivors of unbelievable trauma, abuse, and burns, I have learnt that from ’bad things… good things can grow’. The

courage and strength of the incredible people I have met and share their powerful stories with, will tell you that to survive they have had to find purpose in their unimaginable tragedy.“ Having bought a house in Noosa in 2002, Dr O’Neill and her family have moved between residences in Victoria and Noosa with plans to retire to Noosa.

Backbone of Noosa A community champion whose efforts have helped feed thousands of people in need has been named the Sunshine Coast Citizen of the Year.

Michele Lipner was honoured for her dedication to helping others, reducing food waste and advocating for vital behaviour change.

A Coolum local, Michele is the founder and coordinator of the local chapter of OzHarvest, Australia’s leading food rescue organisation.

Every month, Michele and her team of volunteers, collect more than 15,000 kilos of quality surplus food from 40 food donors and re-distribute it to 45 agencies to feed people in need.

The local organisation raises more than awareness, delivering a range of programs such as Cooking for a Cause and Food Education and Sustainability Training, to help empower the community make great sustainability choices.

Sunshine Coast Council Acting Mayor Rick Baberowski said people like Michele formed the backbone of our Sunshine Coast community.

“This year, we received 63 Sunshine Coast Australia Day nominations across seven categories with a common thread weaving through each one — every nominee was praised for their selflessness and their dedication to helping others,” Cr Baberowksi said.

“Together the nominations form a glorious account of the actions of everyday people who make a difference. It’s a humbling account and every nominee should feel very proud.

“The Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards provide an essential platform to recognise the efforts of the special individuals, charities and organisations that support our region and to say thank you.

“On behalf of Sunshine Coast — to all those nominated both this year and in previous years — a sincere thank you.”

The 2023 Senior Citizen of the Year is Nambour’s Gary Langford.

Since moving to the area in 1990, Gary has been a dedicated Nambour stalwart, offering time and leadership in many roles across multiple organisations and charities.

Gary is the president of the Nambour Local Ambulance Committee (LAC) where he has served since 1999. A passionate ambulance service advocate, Gary has received numerous awards for his service.

The 2023 Young Citizen of the Year is Mason Hope-Kassulke.

Mason received a glowing nomination for his advocacy and support of mental health, his volunteer work with 4 Paws Animal Rescue and his involvement with arts planning for the region Mason is an award-winning artist and songwriter and uses this as a platform to raise awareness and generate funds and support for mental health.

Isla has been growing her hair for more than two years to get it to the 35.5cm length needed to donate her hair, to support kids who have lost their hair due to medical reasons.

She also exceeded her fundraising goal, with over $537 raised to date for the charity.

Isla said, “I wanted to support this charity because they really care about what they started and it was one of the main charities that support children with cancer.“ Isla’s mum Kylie said, “I am so proud of Isla and the long-term commitment she has put into her decision to support Variety.“ Variety’s Hair with Heart initiative enables children to be fitted with specialised custom-made real hair wigs that give them increased confidence and self-esteem in their everyday lives so they can feel like themselves again.

Local hairdresser and salon manager Elizabeth Morriss, from 50 Shades of Hair in Tewantin kindly donated her time and support to give the golden locks the chop and a stylish cut.

A special thanks to all who have donated and wished Isla words of encouragement.

Trailer parking hurts Noosa

By Margie Maccoll Concerns raised by business owners and residents about the loss of car parking spaces to boat trailers and calls from boating and fishing advocacy groups to upgrade boat ramp facilities led Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart to put forward a Mayoral Minute at council’s meeting last Thursday.

“There is a large deal of public disapproval of all the boat trailers taking up so many car spaces,“ a resident told Noosa Today last week.

A business owner said businesses were suffering at what was normally their busiest time of year because many of their surrounding car spaces were full of trailers.

At Quamby Place last week, for example, more car parking spaces were taken over by unattached trailers than cars.

“I think trailers should be allowed to park on the street provided they are connected to a vehicle, as there are sometimes insufficient boat trailer parks around the boat ramps,“ one business owner said.

“The problem would easily be solved by making unattached trailer parking illegal.“ A business owner said some holidaymakers were leaving trailers during their entire holiday stay and, incredibly, there were some that left their boat and trailer on the street in Noosa permanently until their holiday the following year.

“They are getting free boat storage for a year at the inconvenience of everyone in Noosa,“ he said.

“It’s untenable and requires immediate action. Paid parking is a reality for most people in the world, and boat owners would quickly get used to paying a fee to store their trailer during their holidays, but while they can park them outside their holiday unit for local businesses and homes for free, they will“.

Last December former Queensland Tourism Minister and Noosa MP Bruce Davidson told Noosa Today the Noosaville boat ramp at peak times was at capacity with a shortfall of more than 30 car and trailer parking spaces and Tewantin boat ramp was at capacity most weekends.

“We have a desperate need for additional boat launching and car and trailer parking,“ he said.

“This is becoming an issue for business owners and residents in the Noosaville area with cars and trailers taking up car parks in nearby streets.“ Figures from Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) 2017 Queensland boating facilities demand forecasting study showed there were 4029 registered boats in Noosa, 93 per cent were trailer boats indicating a 50 per cent shortfall in boat ramp facilities.

A 2022 MSQ boating facilities demand forecasting study is due for release in March.

Cr Stewart said over the past three or four months council had received a number of calls from boating and fishing advocacy groups to upgrade boat ramp infrastructure.

While it was a state government responsibility to deliver and maintain boat ramp infrastructure, council has a role to play

Noosa River. in assessing potentially suitable upgrade sites.

During council discussions Cr Frank Wilkie said council needed to have regard for community concerns on the loss of public space that might result from increased boating infrastructure and increased river traffic.

“It’s not how do we meet demand, but how do we make the experience safer and more pleasant,“ Cr Brian Stockwell said.

There’s been an increase in boating and cars. Council has been actively looking to reduce traffic congestion, it’s not just about meeting demand of increased boat numbers, Cr Stockwell said.

We should make sure facilities are given to locals and visitor demand is more regulated, he said.

Councillors voted to wait for the results of the latest MSQ study, requesting staff prepare a report for its May meetings in relation to the findings of the study as well as community concerns about loss of public space and increased traffic on the Noosa River.

Noosa Boating Fishing Alliance’s Andrew McCarthy said the group welcomed council’s report and supported community consultation but held concerns feedback would exclude community concerns on reduced river access and safety created by the lack of investment.

“Community consultation should be bal-

Mr McCarthy said the group supported Cr Stockwell’s suggestions that opportunities to provide additional “resident only boat launching facilities” be looked at and agreed with him that the best locations on the river would be west of Noosaville.

“The Noosa Community has a thriving boating sector, from kids to seniors who love our river and deserve modern, safe access, not to mention the local businesses that need our boating sector to survive and thrive,” Mr McCarthy said.

“This report should also assess the economic value of boating on the Noosa River.”

River resort holiday woes

By Phil Jarratt The resort-studded foreshore of Culgoa Point is one of the prettiest parts of the lower estuary of the Noosa River and, not surprisingly, holidaymakers flock there year after year for its white sand river beach, glorious views and proximity to the restaurants of Quamby Place.

This season it’s been business as usual at Culgoa Point Beach Resort, tucked in where the main river meets Weyba Creek, but a mere 100 metres north along the shore it’s a different story.

At Las Rias and next-door neighbour Noosa Harbour Resort, guests look out from their riverfront rooms at a prison-style fence of crowd control barriers, placed there to prevent them from falling down a cliff into the rubble of a crumbling rock seawall where once was beach.

To say it’s been bad for business is to wildly understate the situation.

“It’s hard to put a figure on how much money we’ve lost through cancellations,” Ray Berridge, on-site manager for both resorts told Noosa Today.

“There’s been a lot of them, but we also have a very long waiting list so at this time of year we can fill them instantly. But we just had a ground floor guest tell us this week that she’s not coming back next year, and that would be a $6000 booking.

“If this continues into the quieter seasons I reckon we’ll lose hundreds of thousands. We’ve been frequently abused by angry guests, despite the fact that we sent out communications explaining the shoreline problems to all our regulars. Every second phone call and email we receive is about the lack of beach.”

While Ray attributes most of the foreshore washout to last year’s constant flooding, he says wash from speeding boats has exacerbated the problem.

“Once you lose some of the beach, the problem just gets worse, especially with the excessive boat traffic we now have compared to a few years ago. The wash just keeps chiselling away at it.”

The cost of sand pumping is around $50,000 for Noosa Harbour Resort and $35,000 at Las Rias, and while there was no pumping last year because of the floods, it’s normally an annual event and in a bad year it might need two replenishments.

In addition to these costs, Noosa Harbour has had to undertake extensive jetty repairs because of the constant impact of large commercial boats speeding along the narrow channel.

Says Ray: “Part of that was because the channel has moved closer to the foreshore and we have these big fishing boats running right along our front at 20 knots.”

Noosa Sound neighbour and riverfront landowner Michael Storrer, who built his house and jetty more than 40 years ago, told Noosa Today that speeding in the Sound and Noosa Inlet was not only damaging infrastructure but endangering lives.

“The only option I can see is six knots all

year round across the width of the river, which was what Maritime Safety Queensland proposed at the beginning of last year but they changed it.

“Years ago I put a lot of work into getting a four knot limit around the Sound and inlet and we were happy with that, but MSQ said there’s no such thing as a four-knot limit, but there is, and it’s at Mooloolaba. Now I think most people would be happy to see it at six knots but it has to be applied across the whole river.”

The Maritime Safety Queensland speed limits proposal was part of a broader river management community consultation survey which closed on 20 January, with an outcomes report anticipated next month.

The proposal outlines a year-round, sixknots-no-wash safety zone extending from the Lake Doonella bridge in Tewantin to the lower estuary.

However the zone is only 60 metres wide on the south shore and 30m on the North Shore,

leaving a 20-knot highway down the middle in the wider stretches of the river, and unworkable situations in other places, like the Noosa Harbour Resort channel, where there simply isn’t 60 metres between foreshore and sand bar.

Although many veteran river watchers have welcomed the proposal (which they say is almost certain to be accepted) as “a good first step”, there is widespread criticism of its complexity and its prospects of enforcement.

One submission to MSQ from a riverfront resident seen by Noosa Today last week put in clear perspective the concerns expressed by many residents and riverside business owners: “MSQ’s latest recommendation of a 60m x 6 knot zone along the southern side of the river for 10 months of the year [adding to the existing two-month summer restrictions] is a definite improvement on what we have now, but it will fail to provide a safe and enjoyable environment long term for all river users, including humans and animals and the river’s foreshores (from needless wash damage).”

The writer goes on to explain: “The Noosa River is a series of narrow channels generally only 60m wide. These include the channel from Thomas Street to T-Boats [now Terrace Boats] between the red markers and the jet ski park, along Munna Point past the caravan park, the channel around the point of Quamby Place and the sand bank, and the channel around the point at The Woods and along the Dog Beach.

Due to these narrow channels a permanent sixknot speed limit across the whole river would be a far more logical change long term.

“MSQ does not have the resources to adequately police the Noosa River throughout the year. The permanent six-knot speed limit across the whole river works really well during the Christmas and New Year period every year.

It is very obvious who is speeding so the sixknot speed limit becomes self-enforceable.”

The writer goes on to echo the sentiments of many riverfront residents about the impact on the foreshore and its infrastructure of constant 20-knot wash from big boats. And while passive river users, like your correspondent, who have been forced to jump from their craft to avoid injury in holiday-time double-wash situations, might argue about the level of success of policing during high season, this submission clearly states the case being heard around the water coolers and the riverside bars: it’s time for a safer river.

As one river stakeholder summarised it for Noosa Today: “The current MSQ proposal for the speed limit is going to be adopted but as time goes on more and more people will realise that it’s not enough. All the jetties are getting smashed up, there’s safety to think about, it’s a huge issue and it’s not going to go away.”

Kokoda Challenge returns The Kokoda Challenge, an annual charity walk that honours the legacy of the Australian Diggers who fought in the Kokoda Campaign of World War II, is set to return to Kenilworth on Anzac Day weekend, April 22.

The event, which saw more than 1800 participants hike distances of up to 48 km on the 80th anniversary of the Kokoda Campaign, raised over $380,000 for local youth programs in its first year on the Sunshine Coast in 2022.

Teams of two to five people traverse through Imbil State Forest from Kenilworth, some choosing to trail run the 18km, 30km and 48km course that consists of over 1700 metres of elevation.

The Kokoda Youth Foundation, the organisation behind the event, is expecting even more teams to take on the trails this year in support of its mission to change the lives of local youth through mentoring programs.

“In 2022, we commemorated the 80th anniversary of the 1942 Kokoda Campaign, which was a momentous occasion for us,” chief executive officer Johllene Elson said.

“It is our mission to keep the legacy of our Kokoda Diggers alive, and the Kokoda Challenge is a powerful way for teams to learn about the history of the campaign and the sacrifices made by our soldiers.“ Last year’s 48km trail, was described by participants as one of the hardest things they’ve ever done, including crossing a knee-high creek, scaling mountains with peaks of 400 metres, and a 20-hour time limit to reach the finish line.

In 2022, the final team completed the challenge in 19.5 hours, starting at 7am on Saturday and finishing at 2:30am on Sunday without sleeping.

In the lead-up to the event, teams participate in fundraising activities to support the Kokoda Youth Foundation’s mentoring programs, which have helped more than 652 young people across Australia since 2004.

The Kokoda Challenge is set to return to Kenilworth on ANZAC Day weekend.

One of these programs, a Digital Detox camp for 12-14 year-olds, will be held in Kenilworth later this year.

“Building on the success of last year’s Kokoda Challenge, we will be hosting a Digital Detox Program in Kenilworth this July,“ said Chris Emert, manager of the youth program.

“This fully-funded, nine-day adventure camp will combine challenging outdoor activities with mindfulness techniques such as breathing and meditation, helping children understand the impact of technology on their mental health and develop skills to manage

their relationship with devices.”

The event will begin with a commemorative service to honour Kokoda veterans and other men and women in service.

Rise against the violence

Join one billion rising against domestic violence on Friday 17 February.

“According to the One Billion Rising for Justice website, it is estimated that one in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime – that’s one billion women,” she said.

“In Australia, La Trobe University research shows that one woman is killed every week in Australia by a current or former partner and anywhere from one-quarter to one-third of Australian women will experience physical or sexual violence by a man at some point in their lives.

“Although I am fortunate to have led a life free of domestic violence others are not so fortunate. That is why it is so important that we unite and dance on the beach to show we care

and to raise awareness.”

For the non-dancers, Peppie encouraged spectators to come along to the free performance on Friday 17 February at 5pm and show their support for the cause.

For those who wish to join the performance but are unable to make rehearsals the routine can also be found on the One Billion Rising website at onebillionrising.org/ One Billion Rising for Justice rehearsals will be held at the Noosa Leisure Centre, Wallace Drive, Noosaville.

Friday 31 January at 6.30pm – 7.30pm.

Saturday 1 February at 11am – 12pm.

Tuesday 4 February at 4.30pm – 5.30pm.

· Friday 7 February at 6.30pm – 7.30pm. · Saturday 8 February at 11am – 12pm. · Tuesday 11 February at 4.30pm – 5.30pm.

Three rehearsals are recommended and there is no need to book - just turn up on the day.

The performance will be on Friday 17 February at 5pm in front of the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club, Hastings Street.

To find out more call Peppie on 0408 197 879 or email at surfdancer@live.com If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence call: DV Connect (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) freecall number 1800 811 811.

Following the 2013 inaugural event which saw over 150 men and women perform a simple, four minute choreographed dance routine on Noosa’s Main Beach to raise awareness about violence against women, Noosa is gearing up to do it all over again on Friday 17 February at 5pm.

The Noosa event is part of a global movement known as One Billion Rising for Justice.

In 2013 more than one billion people in 207 countries simultaneously performed the same dance routine to signal an end to violence against women.

Local One Billion Rising for Justice organiser and dancer Peppie Simpson said this year she was hoping to see more than 300 people participate in the free event.

“Last year’s event was so positive and powerful and we’d love more people to join us this year”, she said.

“The power of dance, music and community is an incredible combination and although it’s a serious issue we have a lot of fun along the way.”

Peppie stressed that no prior dance experience or fitness level was required to be part of the group dance display.

“The simple choreography that forms our four minute routine means that everyone over 13 years of age can participate. For those who participated last year, the routine is almost identical which should make things easy,“ she said.

“We have scheduled a few free rehearsals over the next few weeks to help people feel comfortable with the steps although it is not about how well you can dance. It’s about coming together as a community and making a stand against violence.”

Peppie said the Noosa event was the only one on the Sunshine Coast that she was aware of and was grateful the community took the issue so seriously.

BUSINESS PROFILE

NBRF names new directors The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) appointed three new directors at their annual general meeting held on 2 December.

Chair Fiona Berkin was delighted to welcome Dr John Glaister, Dr Richard Brown and Bill Allan, to the NBRF board, joining current directors, Cr Tom Wegener, Dr Jan Green, Linda Venables and Jennifer Black.

John Glaister has held senior leadership roles as director general national parks, where he worked with the federal department and GBRMPA in managing the Great Barrier Reef Field Management Program. He has a long association with natural resources economics and the use of market solutions for asset allocation.

Richard Brown is currently honorary Associate Professor in Economics, in the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, and, in the Institute for Social Sciences Research, University of Queensland.

He has extensive advisory experience as an applied project and policy analyst in Australia and internationally, including project appraisals of industrial, infrastructural, educational projects and environmental projects and policies.

Bill Allan is the current CFO for Destiny Rescue and comes with over 50 years of governance, IT and financial expertise. He holds professional memberships with Institute of Public Accountants, Taxation Institute of Australia, Governance Institute of Australia, Australian Institute of Management and Fundraising Institute of Australia NBRF also welcomed new board advisor Sonia Shillington former Tourism Noosa head of marketing and events who was instrumental in launching the highly successful Enter the Biosphere campaign in 2020.

“I would like to thank outgoing directors

Duncan Thompson, Prof Rod Smith and Jady Smith for their considerable time and commitment to NBRF over the three-year term as directors,” Ms Berkin said.

Highlights during their tenure include the launch of the Noosa Biosphere Gala and Awards, Glossy Black-Cockatoo and Marine Species protection symposiums, launch of the Koalas on the Move campaign, strengthening links to the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Work Integrated Learning Student program and PhD Top-up Scholarships, winning the UNESCO Michel Batisse award, and launch of the Grow for Noosa fund, among many others.

The full range of activities over the past financial year have been published in the NBRF’s annual report which can be found on their website at noosabiosphere.org.au under governance.

NBRF also undertook a comprehensive strategic review during 2022, lead by directors Linda Venables and Jennifer Black, which has seen the development of a new vision and mission, and proposed committee structure for the organisation.

“This important work is ongoing and I look forward to working with our new directors to develop the strategic plan and our priorities further throughout 2023,” Ms Berkin said.

“Looking to the future, NBRF will host a Sustainability Forum in February 2023 which aims to bring together social, economic and environmental sectors to tackle key regional issues by leveraging funding and shared resources. This will further assist us in finalising our strategic plan for the calendar year 2023-24.

“The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation prides itself on the work it does in our region and recognises that it takes the entire community to embrace the Biosphere to have it live on for all future generation.“

Noosa weather guru says put away the brolly in 2023 We all know it bucketed down for long parts of last year, but the good news is that according to Sunrise Beach’s unofficial weatherman, Jim Kennedy, we won’t see the likes of it again for several years.

Jim, 84, has been monitoring local rainfall for several years now and in 2019 he began charting the fluctuations.

He says: “What’s the most talked about thing in the world and what is the thing we can have least effect on? It’s the weather, of course. And rainfall is generally the aspect of weather which gets the most attention.”

So Jim set out to monitor and analyse rainfall.

Jim is at pains to explain that his gauge readings, on the coast at Sunrise, can be different from the official reading upriver a few kilometres at Tewantin, due to local topography, but they tend to average out. And since Noosa Today first met him in early 2021, his predictions based on the evidence of his backyard gauge have been right on the money.

He says: “If you felt that we had a lot of rain and not much sunshine in 2022 you would be

Weatherman Jim Kennedy.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL spot on. It was a year that will not be repeated for many years to come.

“Let’s start with the rainfall for calendar year 2022 at Sunrise Beach. It was 2561mm.

This represents 165 per cent of the average of 1557mm, and is the fourth wettest year on

record since rainfall started being recorded locally from 1886.

“By comparison Brisbane’s 2022 record for annual rainfall was a paltry 2242mm, significantly less than what we endured.”

Jim also notes that despite the drenching we know we got, it doesn’t look like a record year at first glance. “The monthly rainfall figures don’t look like record-breakers with seven months above the average and five months pulling up short. It just shows the devil is in the detail, and what a devil it was.

This becomes obvious when you go into the detail of the monthlies. Two months, February (823mm) and May (630mm), accounted for 1453 mm or 57 per cent of the 2022 total, and 1453mm is only 100mm below our yearly average.

“This left the other 10 months to make up the balance of 43 per cent which equated to 1113mm.

“It’s no mystery why parts of our community experienced such heartbreak and sadness during the floods of February and May. The bureaucrat who thought he should put Queensland - Sunshine State on our number

plates would no doubt want to reconsider.

“Rain fell in Noosa on 43 per cent (156) of days in 2022. So you could say we had five months of rain. Sunshine State? Don’t think so.”

And what’s on the way for the rest of 2023?

The BOM has said that La Nina is on the way out and we can expect this year to be dryer than 2022. The Bureau will release its full climate statement for 2022 and predictions and trends into the future during February, but if you can’t wait that long, Jim says their rainfall predictions have been spot on for January so far.

“In the past 28 days we have received only 60mm of rain with rain falling on nine days, even though it’s been bucketing down up north.

“Compare this miserly amount with the averages of December and January, being 139mm and 140mm respectively, while last year we had 171mm in January.

“It’s almost if the rain gods turned off the tap. Looks like it’s time to pack the brolly away and stock up on sunscreen.”

New year for our Rotary The five Rotary Clubs of Noosa have hit the ground running for the new year, continuing to collaborate to cover the needs of the community.

NOOSA ROTARY Vice president of Noosa Rotary Tess Alexandroff said Noosa Rotary offered Circus Quirkus to children with disabilities and their families.

Tickets are sponsored by local businesses, with the up to 1800 complimentary tickets then distributed to charities to support less fortunate, disadvantaged, and disabled children and their families, allowing them to have a great day out together. For some, it provides an opportunity to see something they would otherwise have been unable to experience. Circus Quirkus is a doubleedged sword. Not only does it provide for the community, it is also the primary fundraising opportunity for Noosa Rotary.

The funds are used to further support a diverse range of local community organisations and programmes including the Coast Guard, the Tewantin State School Chaplaincy programme, State Emergencies SES, RYDA Youth Driver Awareness courses, the Carramar Dementia Centre, assisting those affected by floods, the local men and ladies’ sheds, re-purposing of medical equipment

ROTARY CLUB OF COOROY The once-a-year opportunity to climb Cooroy Mountain is organised by the Rotary Club of Cooroy.

Visitors are be able to stroll through a rainforest before commencing the climb up the stony track to the summit to enjoy spectacular views over to the Pacific Ocean in the east and over the Noosa Hinterland to the west. Suitable for all ages and abili-

ties with pink marker tapes every 50 metres or so make it easy to follow the track all the way to the summit.

A hay ride is run from the rain forest to the base camp. After the climb there is the opportunity to relax with a burger, coffee and ice cream. A great day out, while raising money to support good causes locally, regionally, nationally and globally.

For more information call 0421 407 097 or come and help the team on the day.

NOOSA HEADS ROTARY CLUB Senior students are encouraged by members of Noosa Heads Rotary club to attend Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) programs that save lives.

In Noosa, the Rotary initiative RYDA has attracted more than 7500 local high school students.

President Geoff Bone continued, “The program, supported by schools and colleges, is organised by Rotary and designed to educate young drivers. It makes them aware of the hazards they will experience and how to avoid them when driving on our roads.”

The annual Buskers Championships, PTSD initiatives, disaster appeals and many other joint Rotary club projects are ways they bind with the community. The Rotary motto is Service Before Self.

The Guide SCOTLAND: A WILD YEAR SBS, Friday, 7.35pm

PICK OF THE WEEK

The stories of Scotland’s secret wild places and the unexpected animals that live there are the subject of this four-part series. Stretching from the Shetlands in the north to the Scottish Borders in the south, each instalment focuses on how a spectacular array of wildlife survive through the extremes of four very different seasons in one epic year, with their lives always at the mercy of the elements. Tonight’s episode focuses on the season of spring – breeding time for most creatures, with its warmer weather and longer days.

NCIS: LOS ANGELES 10, Saturday, 7.30pm

This long-running spin-off of NCIS continues to bring the drama as our tight-knit group of federal agents apprehend criminals who pose a threat to national security. In “Flesh and Blood”, Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen, pictured) is reminded of the most challenging period of his life when a woman is seen fleeing the scene of her husband’s murder. Guest star Pamela Reed plays Deeks’ mother Roberta, who’s in town to meet her new grandchild.

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT Nine, Monday, 7.30pm

THE BACHELORS AUSTRALIA 10, Sunday, 7.30pm

There’s an anticipation about any finale that reels in viewers, even if they’ve barely dipped their toes in a series. While The Bachelors Australia hasn’t been the big hit network bosses had been hoping for, any seasoned Bachelor viewer knows that it’s the finale that packs the cringe-worthy (or gobsmacking) punch.

While no one can probably eclipse Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins’ memorable finale, chances are Felix Von Hofe, Thomas Malucelli and Jed McIntosh’s search for love will wrap up with a glittering flourish tonight.

Does dapper host Osher Günsberg have any clue what’s coming? Or will the punters pick the winner?

As season 10 of this drama-filled and potentially migraineinducing show barrels onto screens tonight, melodrama, bad behaviour and self-centred absurdity is assured. Love?

Probably not. The show’s history of mind-boggling behaviour and out-there developments has had viewers speculating that the series is actually crammed full of actors but, this far gone, viewers probably aren’t fussed about what’s real or not. Tonight, the “social experiment” gets the ball rolling with the hens’ and buck’s nights, with introductions to the first two of the 10 couples who have been matched by experts John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla (pictured).

GUIDING YOUR FIVE-YEAR VISION FOR NOOSA The new Corporate Plan is the blueprint that maps out the priorities and key issues of the community and guides many of the Council’s decisions.

The document detailing the fiveyear vision of the community and Council is almost complete.

The draft 2023-2028 Corporate Plan will shortly go back out to the community for their final thoughts of the document.

Chief Executive Scott Waters said the draft blueprint clearly articulates the direction for the

next five years.

“The priorities and expectations of the community have been a real focus of this reinvigorated Corporate Plan,” he said.

“We had 12 community workshops last year and we received over 1,000 responses,” he said.

Over the past few weeks,

councillors have been providing their input and analyzing the community feedback to develop a final draft.

document, to ensure that we have captured what are priorities for the community,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

The plan is structured around five strategic pillars: Environment, Future, Prosperity, Community and Excellence.

The final draft will be available on Your Say Noosa website in early February.

“I really encourage residents to take the time to read the draft

ONE MILLION FREE BUS TRIPS IN BRIEF “Workers along Gympie Terrace and Hastings Street have shared with us how much they enjoyed the free buses for the first time these school holidays and how easy it was to park and ride.

Disaster Resilience Business Forum

“Older residents are using the service to do their shopping and visit areas that they would not normally venture due to the cost of travel,” Mr Britton said.

Noosa Council is hosting a Small Business Disaster Resilience Forum on February 28, 5:30-8:00pm at The J.

Noosa Council Mayor Clare Stewart said Noosa locals and visitors have embraced the Go Noosa Holiday program since its introduction over four years ago.

Building on the success of the free holiday services, Council introduced a free weekend bus trial in February 2022.

Lucky winner Ms Donelle Shaw.

Since 2018, residents and visitors have been embracing the Go Noosa Holidays FREE bus services.

So, when it came time to celebrate the lucky millionth passenger, Noosa resident and regular 065 free Loop Bus passenger, Donelle Shaw was delighted to be chosen.

“I use the free Loop Bus almost every day during the Christmas

and Easter holidays to get into Hastings Street for a coffee or a trip to the beach,” Ms Shaw said.

Last year more than 142,000 passengers travelled across the shire for free on the selected weekend bus services included in the trial.

“When our grandchildren visit during the holidays we make good use of the free buses with them as well, and they love it.”

The free weekend bus trial recommences this weekend for services that stay within the shire and includes existing Translink services on routes 626, 627, 628, 629 and 632 only.

Council’s Manager, Special Projects, Adam Britton, said it was great to see the buzz around town and many using the service.

Visit Council’s website for more information.

HAVE YOUR SAY IN FEBRUARY Help guide Eastern Beaches foreshore management Noosa’s Eastern Beaches stretch over 11.5 kilometres from Sunshine Beach to Peregian Beach and form part of Noosa Shire’s iconic coastal landscapes.

Factors such as climate change, natural disasters, and ecosystem health are impacting the broader social and environmental values that you told us are important across the Shire.

Council is inviting all Noosa residents, regional residents, community organisations, businesses, visitors, state agencies and other land managers to provide input on the development and implementation of a

Foreshore Management Plan for the Eastern Beaches area.

This Plan will focus on public land managed by Council in the Eastern Beaches’ coastal foreshore reserves and near– coastal bushland reserves. It does not apply to private land, National Parks, leases, or open space parks.

There will be a range of ways the community can provide feedback including face-to-face and online community meetings, a written submission, survey and pop-ups in the Eastern Beaches area.

Consultation opens mid-February.

To register go to yoursay.noosa.

qld.gov.au to be advised when consultation opens. For more information visit Council’s website or Facebook page.

The event is designed to help local businesses as well as chambers of commerce and other agencies that assist small businesses, following a disaster or crisis.

The two-hour forum will run through key steps to business recovery and expert advice in applying for business recovery grants. Topics also include risks, resources and communication with customers and suppliers. To register, visit Eventbrite/Noosa Small Business Disaster Resilience Forum.

GRANT INFO NIGHT RETURNS Council’s popular Grants Connect event is back on Wednesday, February 8 from 5:30-7:30 pm at The J Noosa, alongside the next round of Community Grants and Regional Arts Development Fund grants which open at 9:00 am.

The evening will offer presentations for community groups to find out what free grants, services and initiatives are available. Topics include Council’s grant programs, sport and recreation grants and the Community Benefit Fund.

Voice to Parliament not patronising The Voice can’t be patronising to Aboriginal peoples because the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples themselves said, “We call for the establishment of a First Nations Voice in the Constitution,” in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

It can’t create perpetual racial division either because that was done in 1770, 1788 and 1901 in the process of colonisation. However, it has the potential to start healing it.

Indigenous peoples have a unique position in our multicultural society because they are the only Australians descended from the original inhabitants. All non-Indigenous Australians are descended from immigrants.

Our Constitution was written by the leaders of the six British colonies, who at the same time, were themselves taking part in the frontier wars and dispossessing the 250 individual nations with a different system of land management, governance, laws, boundaries and protocol for entry to their or another’s country.

They used the same institutional racism and racist ideology and beliefs that all the European colonising nations used to justify their stealing of another’s country and to soothe their conscience about killing its inhabitants to do so.

Because Britain broke the International Law of that time and its own 150 year old practice of Treaty Making, Indigenous Australians, who have never ceded (relinquished) their sovereignty (ownership), were excluded from discussions about the new nation that was to be situated on their ancestral land and waters. When your voice has always been excluded, including it to be heard when Parliament is making decisions that affect only Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander profiles, it is a basic human right, not a privilege.

The failure of the 14 years of the Parliament to Close the Gap is obvious from the statistics.

It’s foolish to keep doing the same thing and expecting it to have a different result.

Indigenous peoples know best what action is needed in their diverse remote and urban communities to produce the desired result. If you represent their 60,000-plus years of administering an harmonious continent on a clock face as 60 minutes, the 122 years since Federation occupies 8 minutes and 19 seconds. It’s obvious who has the most experience to do the job.

As a result of our colonial history Australia now has two owners: The Indigenous Australians still have their ownership of 60,000 plus years.

The colonists have their ownership of 235 years.

The Voice is about rectifying the illegal mistakes of the past still in our foundation document and acknowledging that we are all members of the one human race, so we can go side by side into the future, the world’s oldest living culture with all its wisdom and the newcomers, and make the future fairer for all.

and like Kate, used to paddle all around the main river and tributaries. Over the last few years, we also have seldom paddled around the main river due to several near misses. Near misses have also occurred upstream in Weyba Creek, beyond Keyser Island, as most boats there also speed as there is next to no monitoring by police or MSQ. Tinny rats have moved up the creek due to being targeted in the main river and pose a significant problem, though certainly not the only ones to ignore speed limits and boating laws.

Current speed limit proposals as put forward in the Vessel Waterways Management for the Noosa River on the government website in conjunction with the online survey, have been drastically watered down from initial proposals to only include a thin strip near the southern shoreline of the main river. Not only will this farcical proposal do little to address the safety issues, but it is also largely unenforceable.

Those on or in powered watercraft are the least at risk. Those swimming or on/in nonpowered craft are most at risk and yet they are not being protected under the new proposal in any way. This is a serious issue. Protect them.

facturers of electric buses and the purchase of buses over a period of time would provide significant economic and social benefits as well as a major contribution to emissions reduction and an alleviation of our chronic transport problems.

The cost of electric buses can be anywhere between $500,000 and $900,000. Directing the $2.6 million tourism subsidy to the purchase of smaller electric buses more suitable to Noosa’s geography could see two or three buses purchased each year. Over a five to 10 year period, Noosa could possess a fleet of smaller electric buses that could provide an eco-friendly, fit for purpose internal transport system for the shire. Noosa could possibly offer this mode of transport around the Noosa Shire as fare-free joining the list of European cities which offer fare-free public transport.

Noosa could wean itself off the state’s transport carrier, Translink, using this carrier to only provide a fast and efficient link from Noosa to the airport and Maroochydore.

So, I wholeheartedly agree with Jeanette Gentle’s sentiments. Scrap the ratepayer subsidy (how much have ratepayers forked out over the years?) and put the money towards solutions that will help overcome the impacts of mass tourism.

There will be pushback from vested interests but surely this must be a conversation / key issue at next year’s local government election?

John Hare, Marcus Beach

End to tourism subsidy Last week’s letter from Jeanette Gentle, calling for an end to the $2.6 million ratepayer subsidy to Tourism Noosa, is spot on. As was Rod Ritchie’s excellent opinion piece the week before on the need to build better, sustainable tourism.

In my submission to the yet to be released new Noosa Corporate Plan, I argued that Noosa’s tourism industry has now reached a mature stage and should no longer receive the ratepayer funding it has enjoyed for so long.

Funds that support the tourism sector should be directed to businesses or projects in the areas of renewable energy, sustainability, waste reduction and the like. Noosa no longer needs to be marketed as a tourist destination. Cities, such as Amsterdam, have discontinued marketing support for tourism in recognition of the pressures created by tourism on the liveability of its communities.

Ratepayer funding should instead be directed to supporting initiatives to assist Noosa achieve net zero emissions by 2026. This investment would provide significant benefits in terms of Noosa’s image, its liveability, and its sustainability. The $2.6 million could, for example, be directed to the purchase of small electric buses. Queensland has several manu-

Ingrid Jackson (Soapbox, Jan 20) suggests planning law changes are so rigid they will be in place forever, but plans are revised, modified and rewritten regularly. The current round of modifications to the 2020 Plan proposed by council is a case in point, and I assume residents will soon be asked for their views on these.

The council’s decision to make short term accommodation an inconsistent use in low density zones was a sensible decision for the future. It may make little difference in the short term, but in the long term it has the potential to halt damage and bring about significant change.

The proposal to make STA inconsistent in medium and high density zones is similarly a sensible decision for Noosa’s future. We do want residents in our coastal suburbs.

Under the 2020 Plan there will now be no more approvals for STA in low density zones.

This is a good thing for the Noosa community.

Those who live in and buy into those zones for long term residential use can now have some peace of mind that they will not end up living next to an unstaffed mini hotel, unless there is one there already. Residents in other zones deserve a similar assurance.

Ms Jackson also suggests an STA approval is attached to a property forever. My understanding is the use must be continuous for this to be the case. If the property ceases to be used for STA the existing rights cease.

I responded to a statement in this paper by Mayor Stewart that this council had approved only 18 new short term accommodation dwellings and all other approvals had existing rights. However, Mayor Stewart appeared to be misinformed, since council papers indicated a further 214 were approved under the Superseded Planning Scheme provisions for new short term accommodation premises.

Don’t blame whistleblowers It is somewhat disingenuous, at the very least, for Ms Jackson (NT 20 January) to lay blame on those who worked hard to blow the whistle on the STA revolution that has produced the housing crisis we have today. Crs Stewart and Lorentson could surely not have foreseen the havoc wreaked

by Covid on tourism and affordable housing when they voted to reject the New Noosa Plan.

Nearly three years later they must realise changes are necessary as they have become more reactive to community sentiment and concern.

Barcelona, a city I know well, is not Noosa.

Suggesting their latest model to curb shortterm stays, forbidding private-room rentals, is a solution that goes against what has always been successful option here. Home-hosted accommodation is in fact the original bed and breakfast model that many travellers prefer.

And it is the one Noosa Council supports. It allows home-owners with a spare room or two to earn extra income and for visitors to meet locals. This doesn’t disrupt the housing pool or even residential neighbourhoods. Whole house STAs, on the other hand, are affecting residential amenity and, in some cases, hollowing out our coastal suburbs.

As to solutions, while ever a short-staffed council section is playing catch-up with applications, chasing recalcitrant owners who

failed to apply and are operating illegally, dealing with enforcement of the new local laws, and issuing compliance and show cause letters, it is hard to see things changing anytime soon. Most of all, the state needs to give councils struggling to create tougher laws more legislative power to control their dire situations.

Rod Ritchie Cooroy Area Residents Association president

Cooloola walk support Noosa has reason to be proud of a recently established eco-tourism event.

Congratulations to the Kabi Kabi people and Noosa Parks Association for making an agreement with the Queensland Government to welcome visitors to the Cooloola Great Walk.

The Kabi Kabi people, who were here for centuries before whites arrived, have taken back responsibility for caring for this beautiful coastal country and will guide walking tours for five days, with visitors staying in small cabins.

Recently I was fortunate enough to be part of a shorter walking trip guided by the Kuku Yalangi people in beautiful Mossman Gorge, FNQ. They have established their own community close by and are now responsible for what was taken from them 200 years ago. I wondered why in the Sunshine Coast we could not help the Kabi Kabi people become equal partners in managing some special place like Cooloola. So I feel proud that this long overdue event has now happened.

Thank you Noosa Parks Association (and particularly vice president Michael Gloster: On The Soapbox January 20) for spending 60 years building the 70,000 hectare Cooloola Section of The Great Sandy National Park and helping to keep the Kabi Kabi peoples Native Title ownership alive.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A PRECISION DENTURE MAKES Would you like a denture that fits comfortably and gives you a natural appearance?

Imagine what it would be like to smile and talk without embarrassment.

Lessons learnt One of our granddaughters with her now fiancee flew from Broome to spend Christmas with us. He proposed on a walk through our National Park at Hells Gate on Boxing Day. One of those heart melting moments. “Say yes or I’ll jump.“ Like youth’s now pushing the laws here, Broome has its problems too.

They sleep with their bedroom door locked as well as the rest of the house secured and a Blue Heeler.

When they told us the reason for the bedroom door extra safety is to avoid nightmares over the latest daredevil act by the young who lack parental discipline being poke a whitey while they are asleep.

Nothing stolen, only a safe night’s sleep for the home owners.

Another foolish prank that could go dangerously wrong.

Scrumping (stealing) apples and pears from neighbours’ trees once and being caught even though we had apple and pear trees in our garden was one of my lessons from both parents of right from wrong.

Bad day at the beach Too much dollar sand on the first point beach plus endless tents as far as you can see. If you’re lucky enough to get a car park you then you have to negotiate your way through tents and ropes. It takes so long to get to the water you have to take a cut lunch and water. Then finally you paddle out into hundreds of people sitting on their board in a two foot swell, mainly wood ducks staring at clouds and seagulls.

After one hour of surfing two waves I came in with a fin chop on my board and four inch gash in my head. Got to my car only to find a parking ticket on my windscreen. After wrapping my head in a towel I tried to go to my lo-

cal doctor but Noosa was gridlocked. I got to my doctor’s practice then I was told they don’t bulk bill anymore. Could not afford the bill on my pension. I made it to the ER at Noosa hospital and got treatment. I have finally hung up my board and walked away from surfing Noosa. It’s sad because I surfed Noosa since the early ‘60s. One more thing, as the saying goes, we had the best, they’ve got the effing rest.

Understanding the Voice Thank you for the letter last week about The Voice from Beverly Prescott which I hope will initiate more knowledgable and intelligent discussion. I do not yet myself fully understand the implications of this situation.

Recently I have asked everyone I have interacted with if they know about The Voice.

This has been greeted with silence and a blank look, even from those are aware of current affairs in the world.

Recently I saw an interview with our PM Albanese on this subject of The Voice. The interviewer asked why the general public was not being informed that our constitution is about to be breached? Why no information on this vital subject is not discussed in the media?

Our PM prevaricated and dodged giving any informative answer. I wonder why? What is it he doesn’t want us to know? Surely not the truth! Again.

It seems his government is rushing a referendum, possibly as soon as August, without presenting clear facts to the people, to remove us from the protection of the Monarchy and force Australia into Federation. Including The Voice.

Full understanding is vital to our vote.

(When in doubt vote no).

This is a life changing situation for all Australians for generations to come.

Our council and other groups should organise general meetings for unbiased, open discussion on this vital matter.

Just on a lighter subject: do we really need this new addition to our vocabulary? Every time I try to say recidivism, my teeth fall out.

I think this substantial growth in STA and loss of long-term accommodation is a disaster for our community that should not be glossed over. My letter merely corrected Mayor Stewart’s figures in the interests of transparency, and did not lay blame as Ms Jackson asserts. If there is blame to be laid for those new approvals it is probably the state legislation that is the culprit, not the past or current council. I find it sad that Ms Jackson should interpret my letter incorrectly.

Contrary to Ms Jackson’s assertion, Councillor Brian Stockwell’s latest newsletter indicates why applications under the Superseded Planning Scheme provisions are unlikely to result in a similar avalanche of new approvals in medium and high density zones. I suggest both Ms Jackson and Mr Ritchie read that newsletter.

Celebrations for vollies

By Jim Fagan It was party time for Katie Rose Cottage Hospice volunteers at their Tewantin Op Shop last Tuesday. And they had a double cause for celebrating.

Since it opened six years ago this month the op shop has been the place to go for shoppers looking for quality clothes and other items at very affordable prices.

In January last year it relocated to Poinciana Avenue and manager Tina Grigson decided it was time to hold a party to celebrate both anniversaries.

Past and present volunteers attended and heard hospice chief executive officer John Gabrielson say Katie Rose was a volunteer organisation powered by about 260 vollies and some paid staff.

“We couldn’t exist without volunteers. That was really clear when we put this shop on the ground 12 months ago. The shop has been a wonderful success ever since and not just financially.

“We are becoming more and more well known for our palliative and end of life care.

Our services are all being talked about a bit more because of this shop and our other shops at Noosaville, Cooroy and Maroochydore.”

Earlier, Tina said she believed the op shop would not be operating nearly as successfully as it has if donations had not been of a superbly high quality and the relationship the volunteers had cemented with the local community.

And that she was equally certain this “most amazing support” for the compassionate work of the Doonan hospice will continue for “not just six years but another 60.”

OPINION

On The Soapbox Kathy Sweet

A quick walk to division Once again we are being regaled with rhetoric, spin and a monstrous amount of back patting

by Michael Gloster.

The very large elephant in the room here is the fact that all our national parks face an immediate threat of private land leases and development for commercial purposes. National parks are the only places left where nature can exist without the threat of private commercial industry.

Private leases and development in our national parks are a line in the sand which, when crossed, would come at great expense to both ecological integrity and public equity. It is time to say no.

The Palaszczuk Government promised, when elected, to return the Nature Conservation Act to pre-2013 form by removing provisions at Section 35(1)(a) and (c) that allow this type of development within Queensland’s National Parks.

Sadly this promise hasn’t been fulfilled and tourism operators are moving in while the going’s good. The Palaszczuk Government needs to be called out on this gross neglect of responsible governance.

Many groups in our community are supporting this push to protect our parks. These include Keep Cooloola Cool, Protect Our Parks, Cooloola Coastcare Association, Australian Rainforest Conservation Society, Noosa Integrated Catchment Assn, Coolum and North Shore Coast Care, Wide Bay Burnett Environment Council, Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee, Gympie and District Field Naturalists Club, and Great Sandy Strait Saviours.

It astonishes me that Noosa Parks Association is not on this list, considering it has worked so hard in the creation of Cooloola and Great Sandy National Park.

Michael Gloster continues to emphasise personal attacks directed at NPA, Sandy Bolton and the Kabi Kabi leadership.

He fails to mention similar attacks on those who have a perfect and legitimate right to be disputing the Cooloola Great Walk project.

Perhaps if he and the others mentioned actually engaged with the community, especially Noosa Parks Association members, there could be a more favourable outcome .

Secrecy, untruths and spin are unacceptable. No one is attacking reconciliation, just the very corrupt and coercive way this socalled reconciliation is taking place.

Concerning Cooloola and the Indigenous Land Use Agreement, now signed, the meeting dealt only with matters related to the commercial deal with CABN. No resolutions or business were undertaken specifying any partnerships or arrangements with the state regarding

Cooloola National Park Cooloola National Park.

The ILUA gives the Kabi Corporation a 10 per cent stake in the Cooloola segment of the CABN operation and an employment target of 10 per cent during construction and 25 per cent during operations.

Make what you will of that.

During the ILUA meeting, an officiating applicant member (one of the seven “authorised to do business on behalf of the Claim Group”) made repeated assertions to the meeting that if it returned a no vote the development would proceed anyway and they’d all get nothing.

This was highly coercive and also not correct, given the political reliance on Kabi support to gain social license.

Before the vote took place, 20 people were bussed in from Cherbourg to boost the yes outcome.

Votes were also counted individually by show of hands of all attendees instead of from just two delegates per family, which is the meeting precedent for voting on substantive motions. This enabled vote stacking and a disproportionate vote by some families.

The printed sheet with eight resolutions was distributed to attendees only minutes ahead of

the votes being taken. The correct rules have procedural requirements for discussion within and between Claim Group families.

The whole process of the ILUA Meeting has left the Kabi Kabi grossly under-informed and disconnected on the issue of the Cooloola Great Walk.

Even though Michael Gloster continues to maintain that the Kabi Kabi are being attacked, this is far from the truth.

I am greatly concerned about the justice issues here and how exactly the seven member Claim Group were chosen and what part did the state government, CABN and NPA have in this process. Many Kabi are very opposed to the CGW project, but their questions and concerns are left unheeded and unheard.

Ecotourism is not the only pathway for Indigenous commercial ventures. There are so many alternative pathways that could be followed. Read about Bruce Pascoe and what he is achieving at Mallacoota, for an example.

CABN has imposed a project upon Indigenous people . They were not consulted to propose a project of their own choosing. It’s the same old story that has played out over the decades: do the white man’s bidding or suffer the conse-

quences. I wonder if the tables will ever really turn.

Phil Jarratt’s article really speaks for itself when we read of CABN’s partnership with Intrepid Travel. The spin around the obvious appetite to extend so-called ecotourism as much as possible is quite nauseating. Big pressure on CABN to deliver here.

As Phil says, “Great Walk: what’s next?”

Yes, exactly. Maybe we’ll see a few eco-huts dropped in at Alexandria Bay, or even in the Noosa National Park. Great views up there. The sky is the limit really. If CABN think they have a social license to carry out this abomination of our beautiful Cooloola, then it is our fault because we have done nothing.

If we sit back and accept and swallow the spin, then be it on our heads. If we sit back and just let it all happen and do nothing, say nothing and don’t write letters, then we are all complicit. You can write to CABN by getting on the CABN Queensland website. You can write to Palaszczuk, the Environment Minister, the Department of Environment and Science, our local and federal members and Noosa Parks Association.

If you care, just do it.

Outback expo at gallery

By Jim Fagan There is a note of awe, even affection, when Cooroy artist Trevor Purvis speaks about outback Australia.

“I love the visual stimulation. The quiet is the loudest thing there. You can almost read a newspaper by the stars.”

For the last 17 years Trevor, accompanied by his wife, Beryl, has been touring Australia’s remote regions (“rather like a couple of hippies,” she says) capturing on canvas the rich and colourful vistas of the Kimberleys, Uluru, Lake Eyre, the Simpson Desert, the Canning stock route—1850kms from Halls Creek to Wiluna and even more remote places only known to many of us as dots on a map.

And next Friday, at the official opening of the exhibition, which will end on April 5, Noosa will get the chance to see Trevor’s work.

The Noosa Regional Gallery at Tewantin has invited Trevor to show a selection of his landscapes in an exhibition he is calling Australian Sienna.

As he says, “Sienna to me epitomises the outback colours that do not exist anywhere else except in Australia.”

Trevor’s paintings will be on display in tandem with another local artists’ exhibition which has been titled, More Than the Sum of Its Parts.

According to gallery director, Michael Brennan, between 80 and 90 other Noosa and Sunshine Coast landscape painters have been invited to submit one painting each.

“We are not tackling it with each artwork being given a space on a wall. Instead, we are clustering them altogether from floor to ceiling to recreate a bigger, visual landscape effect.

There will be big sections of the gallery where the walls will be empty and then rainforest art will bleed into the ocean-based work.

“We try to give a number of locally based artists a solo exhibition each year and this is

Jewellery by Beryl Purvis will be on display at the gallery entrance. the first time we have had such a large group of local artists together.

“Trevor has been very active in the Noosa creative scene for a long time now with Open Studio and holding his own workshops.

“In this kind of space he brings a kind of unique and expressive interpretation of the landscape. I think it will be a really powerful experience when all the works are all shown together,” he said.

Beryl, too, has a place in the exhibition.

She grew up in Rhodesia and has developed a range of necklaces, bracelets and other jewellery, all with an African tribal influence. Her work will be on display at the gallery entrance.

Although they have been coming to Noosa since they first came to Australia in 1977 (“we used to camp at the north end of Hastings Street”) it was 2006 before they decided to come here to live.

Trevor, who was born in South Africa, had a career spanning 30 years and was a graphic art designer and creative director for several global advertising agencies like Young and Rubican, McCann Erickson and J Walter Thompson.

He worked in London, New York, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, Melbourne and other great cities creating campaigns for clients like Coca Cola, Levi Jeans and Nescafe. In 1985 he won the in-

“I was pretty pleased about that one,” he said.

He is a also former president of Noosa Open Studio and its Art Trail which is held in October over 10 days.

“It brings about half a million dollars into the art community. It is growing every year. We had 400 people in my studio alone this year.”

Trevor, 73, said: “It’s been a lifelong dream for me to be a successful artist. I was well known in advertising as a creative director but now I want to be known as an artist first and an advertising guy second.”

Scheel brings unique twist to classical music David Scheel returns to The Events Centre, Caloundra with his much-loved hilarious solo show, Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only The Piano Player, on Saturday 11 February.

David Scheel’s concerts turn classical music on its head with anything from a well-known folk tune played in the styles of various famous composers, to two different pieces played with different hands at the same time or a medley of the 20 worst tunes ever written.

His raconteur-style send-ups of the ridiculous include true stories of bad pianos he’s had to play, sharp-edged commentary on the celeb lives of the Kardashians, Meghan and Harry and co., and equally topical digs at politicians.

His hilarious translation of the lyrics of

Waltzing Matilda is already an established comedy classic, and it’s set to be joined by his latest offering: Everything You Need to Know to Survive a Pandemic.

All this in a huge range of voices and accents, which have led to frequent comparisons with Peter Ustinov, whilst his brilliant musical spoofs on the piano (as well as his serious playing of the instrument) saw him dubbed the new Victor Borge very early on in his career.

Three legends, one show

Lawrence Menard and Clare Quinn are the transpacific-troubadours known as Those Folk.

Those Folk move in Charismatic, authentic and thoroughly entertaining, Lawrence Menard and Clare Quinn are the transpacific-troubadours known as Those Folk.

The duo is delighted to be performing an Irish music residency at Flanagans Bar at the Noosa Reef Hotel.

“I think Flanagans Bar is one of the best pubs on the Sunshine Coast,” Clare said.

“When you go in there, it feels like you’re in another country.”

You can catch Those Folk performing at the local venue on Wednesdays: 1 February, 15 February from 6pm, as well as a matinee gig on St Patrick’s day, Friday 17 March from 11am.

“We love all sorts of folk music, and we love the storytelling of Irish music,” Clare said.

“There’s a lot of humour in there as well.

We’re going to have a lot of fun bringing our unique flavour to the Irish night.”

Having met in Scotland in 2012, the couple have since travelled extensively together and lived in the pine forest mountains of Southern California.

They now hang their travelling hats in the Noosa hinterland town of Pomona.

“We found a really beautiful place to live in Pomona, where we can look out and see the horses and trees, and it’s really inspiring,” Clare said.

A partnership forged in the fires of folk music, Those Folk explore sounds and influences

The folk duo is delighted to be performing an Irish music residency at Flanagans Bar. from the 1960s’ folk revival and contemporary Americana music.

“We live in a really unique place where you feel like you’re stepping back in time, and that’s something we try to achieve in our music too,” she said.

“We are also producers and record our own music, so we live in the wilderness so we can have that space to write and record music.”

As songwriters they delve into love, hope, belonging, and the human condition. As performers they enthral, enchant, and leave a lasting impression.

“The most amazing thing about gigging

on the Sunshine Coast is the variety of venue types that we get to play,” Clare said.

“Every week is different and it keeps it interesting.”

The intimate stage show that Lawrence and Clare deliver is constantly evolving with the introduction of new instruments, interesting anecdotes, and dynamic songs.

“The Sunshine Coast has a lot of sub-cultures and we’re really excited to be a part of the new wave of folk music here on the coast,” she said.

“Audiences are really keen for it. Historically, as far of the genres on the coast there’s been more of a dominance of roots-reggae, dance based, or surf music. I love to dance, and I don’t want to devalue that, but I think there’s a new space emerging for the folk singers and for people who are playing a different kind of music.

“Someone said to me, that the Sunshine Coast music scene is like a teenager, and she’s grown up a lot over the past 10 years.”

The sound of Those Folk is inspired by iconic duos such as Simon and Garfunkel and Angus and Julia Stone.

During their performance, breathtaking vocal harmonies are featured alongside rich instrumental work that is performed on guitars, accordion, mandolin and banjo.

“Keep an eye on our website and our socials for our latest gigs. We’d love for you to come along and join us,” Clare said.

Offbeat Music Festival has released a cracker second artist announcement, with the inclusion of King Stingray, Queen P, Moreton, Greatest Hits, DJ Rolplay and the Gubbi Gubbi Dancers in the line-up for the Saturday 25 March festival at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi.

The artists join the first announcement line-up that boasts Thelma Plum, Gretta Ray, Electric Fields, Clews, Clea, Blues Arcadia, Playlunch, Eastbound Buzz and Tommy Gun. Festival director Alice Jones said the exciting line-up brings some of Australia’s best acts to Eumundi for the first time and showcases the diversity of fresh talent that is blazing a path through the Australian music scene.

“It’s a pretty huge line-up for a boutique festival, so for music-lovers it is a rare opportunity to see these bands in a really relaxed setting, and we love that tickets are limited – it makes the experience really special,” Alice said.

“Having big name artists like Thelma Plum, King Stingray and Electric Fields, alongside quiet achievers like Moreton and Clea is such a thrill and one of best things about OFFBEAT. “It’s the artists you didn’t know that grab your heart and pull it from your chest, or make you lose yourself in the crowd dancing, arms in the air”.

“OFFBEAT is like a house party in a pub with a killer line up ... and your new mates are all coming.“ OFFBEAT will announce further side events in the coming weeks that will form part of the Offbeat Music Festival weekend, with celebrations running from Fri-

A new annual visual art prize and exhibition supporting mental health has been launched on the Sunshine Coast and is calling for entries.

Seeing the Soul: Hoofbeats Sanctuary Art Prize and Exhibition will be held at Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre from 31 March to 30 April.

According to chief executive officer, Barb Blashki, Seeing the Soul is a major fundraising initiative to support and promote Hoofbeats Sanctuary’s work by celebrating and showcasing equine art and raising awareness of mental health.

Cash prizes will be awarded for overall winner, painting/drawing, sculpture/3D and photography categories, as well as people’s choice award.

“Located at Doonan, Hoofbeats Sanctuary is a safe, restorative space that brings people, animals and nature together to improve the emotional well-being of some of the most vulnerable members of our community – those living with mental health challenges resulting from trauma,” Ms Blashki said.

“Our community is currently facing a mental health crisis and demand for program places is growing rapidly.

“Proceeds from Seeing the Soul will enable us to train more program facilitators and offer more program places.

“Equine therapy programs are a key part of the sanctuary’s work.

“The Sanctuary is home to a herd of ten horses and ponies, most of which have experienced big life stressors in their own lives, making them the perfect teachers,” she said.

Soccer dreams grow

By Abbey Cannan After returning home from the trip of a lifetime, Noosa athletes Chloe Murray and Rosalie Harris are set to continue kicking goals until they reach the top of their game.

The best friends are talented soccer players and, at the age of 15, have been selected to represent the Sunshine Coast in the women’s under 23s Sunshine Coast Wanderers NPL Team for 2023.

“I was about 10 when I tried soccer for the first time and as soon as I started playing I fell in love with it,“ Rosalie said.

“I love training and even when we can’t train, I head down to the gym and keep working because there’s always room for improvements.“ Kicking off when she was eight, Chloe said she loved the concept of the game.

“I think it’s great how you’re constantly improving and finding out new things about the game,“ she said.

“Apart from that, I play with great people and people that you’re going to know forever.“ Shortly after they represented the Sunshine Coast at the All Schools State Football Carnival back in 2020, each girl received an email at their respective school inviting them to participate in the Wanderers Australia Junior Girls Football Tour of Europe.

Rosalie and Chloe accepted their invitation and started saving by working casual jobs in Noosa.

Both girls had yet to travel outside Australia, so this trip was keenly anticipated.

Over the 19 days of the tour, the girls played against Academy Teams for Charlton Athletic’s Girls, West Riding FA (feeders for Leeds United and Bradford City), Manchester City, Queens Park Rangers (QPR) and London City Lionesses under the guidance of expert coaches.

They toured Leeds United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Emirates Stadiums.

“It was a great experience. We met heaps of new people and learnt lots of new things. It was really fun to verse kids on the other side of the world,“ Chloe said.

The girls attended the men’s Manchester City v Chelsea FC and the women’s Chelsea v Arsenal games, along with the London Derby game between Reading and QPR. Alongside the tour’s football focus, they toured many of London’s iconic places and the Midlands Region. The group finished in

Both girls have been selected in the women’s under 23s Sunshine Coast Wanderers NPL team for 2023.

France with a tour of the Battlefields followed by a tour of all of Paris’s sites by day and night.

“It was one of the best experiences,“ Rosalie said.

“The first game against Charlton Athletic was awesome. They were an extremely good team. The tourist attractions over there were so cool. We loved seeing the Eiffel Tower.“ Starting off with the under 23s this year, both girls have big goals set for their future in soccer.

“I want to start in the NPL, which is what I’m playing now, and I’m hoping to go to the A League, and then Matildas, representing my country. My idol is Sam Kerr,“ Chloe said.

Rosalie agreed, “It’s great being able to play NPL at the age we are now because we get to verse a really high quality standard of playing groups.“ “It will help us improve for sure and it’s definitely an advantage. Hopefully in the next few years I make a debut for the A League and then hopefully represent Australia and then go on to opportunities overseas.“ Worldwide, women’s football is enjoying record crowds and soaring popularity.

Chloe and Rosalie recommended all young girls to give soccer a go.

Kareena won a bronze medal at the recent Tokyo Olympics.

Noosa athletes Chloe Murray and Rosalie Harris have been selected in the women’s under 23s Sunshine Coast Wanderers NPL team.

“It’s one of the best things that’s happened to me,“ Chloe said.

“It’s great for young kids to get into because you’ve always got someone to lean on. It’s what makes me happy and it’s important that everyone has a hobby.“ With Australia hosting the women’s FIFA World Cup in 2023, there are exciting times ahead for women’s football.

Give croquet a go this summer Although it has been Christmas and New Year, there has still been plenty of action around the courts at Noosa Croquet Club in Seashell Place Noosa Waters.

Members have their own keys and while normal club play days have still been reasonably well attended, there have been plenty of players making use of their keys and playing early mornings and late afternoons, often with family.

Mid-January, attendance is getting back to normal and playdays are well attended. The court renovations during December/January have all been completed and the court surface is running true, and though warm, the cool breeze coming through from the school oval next door is making court time in the lush surroundings of the well-tended garden surrounds a pleasurable experience.

Once again, we remind anyone interested in having a look at one of the best sporting settings in Noosa and in seeing how the sport of croquet is becoming so popular, to come down to Seashell Place Noosa Waters. Our usual time for come and try is Sunday mornings and any time from 8.15am onwards our trainers will be only too pleased to show you how this extremely competitive and strategic game works.

If interested, ring Niven on 0428799987, or just call in.

Recent beginners during 2022 have done so well, we are currently organising an early bird competition in golf croquet for those newbies who have not yet competed elsewhere. This will take place over the next month and someone will become top recruit of 2022 – what an honour.

As play gets under way, there will be competition for those places in the three levels of interclub kay, which does not commence for a couple of months. Plenty of time for practice. The first major event of the year will be Noosa’s participation in the regional Sunshine Coast Championships which will commence in March. Noosa will be hosting two events during this period on March 11 and March 25 where players from clubs all over the Sunshine Coast will be enjoying competition on the five well-tended courts at Noosa.

Remember, call in any time and talk to us, we are happy to show you around.

Thunder’s 13-year-old batsman Rory Ramsden scored his first century last Saturday as well as taking three wickets. His dad was there to see it too.

Thunder faptain, Dom Taylor and veteran Andrew Kratzmann celebrating their efforts to secure a draw against Caboolture last Saturday.

Thunder teen trio shines In a weekend of mixed results for the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket Club, three teenagers took the honours, each scoring a century last Saturday.

The other youngster to shine was Tadhg Crowley who took nine wickets in the thirdgrade match against Palmwoods.

The first two teenagers who scored tons were Ollie Wilson 176 no and Jack Caspers 124, playing in the club’s under 17 team against the Coolum Sharks. Ollie, who was hit in the jaw early in his innings, and Jack put on what could be a club record of 204 for their opening stand.

Then in the afternoon, Rory Ramsden, aged 13 and playing fifth grade against Glasshouse, scored a 103 not out. These young men showed that the club is in excellent hands for the years ahead.

SENIOR CRICKET FIRST GRADE: Day 2 v Caboolture.

It might have been shown as a draw in the scorebook, but the club will claim it as a win. It really was a case of the team of amateurs playing against a team stacked with a number of ex-Queensland or Brisbane First Grade cricketers. But by stumps last Saturday night there were smiles on the faces of only one team Thunder.

Caboolture declared overnight, setting Thunder 419 to win. With 30mm of rain during the week and a slightly wet outfield, the team’s goal was to bat all day for the draw. Lewis Waugh and Jacob Andrew batted patiently through the first hour but all their great work was wiped away when three wickets fell in the first over after drinks. At lunch, the home side was five wickets down for 74 and it was looking like the team would be batting again in the afternoon.

However, the boys rallied and veteran Andrew Kratzmann and youngster Cooper Lea put on 50 across the next hour before Cooper went for 33, the score was then 7-142. The next 44 overs were pure determination and most of them with two or three fielders around the bat. Kratzmann was joined by captain Dom Taylor with the partnership lasting through to the 85th over when Kratzmann went LBW for 67 off 159 balls, never looking like getting out until he did.

Out came Scott Aufderheide to join the defiant skipper and they stayed through until the second last over before Scott went with nine balls to go.

Last batsman, Tom Stewart showed no fear and effortlessly played the three balls he faced leaving the captain six balls to defend with 10 fielders crowded around him. He was never getting out and finished the day on 72* from 150 balls.

The day saw 99 overs bowled, nine wickets lost, 265 runs scored but a crucial and exciting draw secured and the 28 home hame winning streak stays alive.

Club stalwart Jarrod Officer summed up the match.

“One of the best batting performances I’ve been a part of in a lot of pressure all day for the amateurs against the pros.”

Next week, the team is at Nambour for their two-day match against the Cutters.

SECOND GRADE: On day one of the match the Thunder team was bundled out for 118 and Palmwoods was 1-72 at stumps. Day two saw Thunder needing wickets early and Tyrone De Kauwe struck early with Will Cooke taking a blinder at square leg. However, after that the Thunder bowlers had to work hard for their wickets before Palmwoods finished on 187.

The highlight of the day was the bowling partnership between the two spinners Ben Potter (3-62) and Jason Toohey (5-40).

Thunder batted again but for the second week in a row their batsmen never managed to handle the opposition bowlers.

Next Saturday they play Caboolture at Read Park, and an improved batting display will be vital for the team.

THIRD GRADE: On day two of the game against Palmwoods, the team was faced with an opposition who refused to bowl on the ground affected by rain. After lengthy discussions, the Thunder who had already secured first innings points, declared at 9 for 150 and allowed Palmwoods to bat a second time.

Palmwoods finished the day at 6.30 in fading light on 6-142 with Tadhg Crowley taking another four wickets to have a solid nine wicket haul for the match. It was a splendid example of consistent line and length bowling with the ball moving both ways.

Overall, a great result for the Thunder team over the second placed side in the grade. Excellent momentum heading towards finals in a team that becomes stronger each week. Well done to everyone but especially our juniors, for giving it all on a frustrating, long and difficult day.

Big test next week against ladder leaders, Maroochydore Swans.

FIFTH GRADE: The team returned to Glasshouse for day two looking to avoid an outright loss by having to likely bat a large part of the afternoon. Glasshouse continued their innings and finished with a first innings lead of 224. Best bowling figures for Thunder were Rory Ramsden 3-47, Matt Mayo 3-38 and Ian Brundell 2-65.

The batting plan for Thunder was obviously to improve on their first innings of 50 and not get bowled out for the outright loss. After a slightly worrying start again at 2-38, Aedan Mayo 11 (71) and Rory Ramsden steadied things and both played impressive and disciplined innings. Farren Cooke continued on in the same manner ending on 21 no off 67 balls, and Rory scoring his maiden century, 103 not out and facing 173 balls. These teenagers saw out the rest of the innings to finish on a muchimproved score of 3-183. The team is looking to take that momentum into the final games of the regular season.

Happy 90th to Noosa Outrigger Hugh Bingham.

Hugh Bingham celebrates his 90th birthday.

Noosa Surf Lifesaving star Kai Thompson

Outriggers on the move

By Ron Lane For the Noosa Outriggers Club this is certainly a busy week.

For the club, their week started on Sunday midday with the blessing and launching of their new six-person canoe, training sessions during the week and tomorrow, Saturday 28 January, the club will host a regatta, weather permitting, on Noosa’s West Beach. Junior events will be conducted in the Noosa River.

With 20 clubs travelling from the Gold Coast to Bundaberg, some 400 paddlers can be expected on West Beach.

Crews are hoping to qualify for the big Australian event 26 February on the Sydney Harbour.

Regarding the blessing and launching of the new canoe, a large number of members, both men and women, were in attendance with the highlight being their acknowledgement of the Polynesian culture. From deep within a culture that is centuries old, it is good to see that the Noosa club is upholding traditions passed down from its people. ‘’When we come together to name and bless a canoe, we acknowledge the culture that gave birth to our sport and the spirit of Aloha. In our context I believe that the spirit of Aloha encourages us to respect other paddlers, to respect the ocean we paddle on and respect the canoes we paddle in.

“Together we name this canoe Cooroibah and together we bless it, and everyone who paddles in it with a spirit of heart and commitment. May the spirit of life watch over all who paddle in Cooroibah. Paddle strong paddle safe, strive to reach your goals and above all enjoy the Aloha of our sport.”

Speaking as a senior member with 24 years service, Ian Vivian said, “I believe there are very good reasons to retain some of the traditions and culture of our Polynesian sport. A respectful culture will define the success of our club.

“Naming and blessing of the canoe before it goes to the sea is just one of the traditions.“ He then went on to recognise Zandra Brown and Evan Gartrell, who 33 years ago became the founders of the club, management committees both past and present, plus Chris Horan and the maintenance team were noted.

With regard to the names, Noosa mostly chose ones from the Polynesian language.

However, this time the club chose one from the Australian names, from our local environment came the name, Cooroibah. An Indigenous name from the Kabi Kabi people, meaning ‘place of possums.’

Since the club began back in the late ‘80s, 21 OC6 canoes were introduced into the club family. Of these nine were later moved on to other clubs. In the First Paddle Out (of the new outrigger) it was an honour, Polynesia men only by tradition, but on this occasion, spe42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 27 January, 2023

Noosa Outriggers launch their new six-person canoe. cially chosen women were allowed.

These were chosen by the club’s birthday boy Hugh Bingham celebrating his 90th birthday, and all went well. For Hugh it was indeed a great birthday, having been in the club for 17 wonderful years, and being involved with the blessing and the launching, and mingling with his club mates. What could be better?

When asked, “Are you still paddling?” His answer was definite. ‘’Yes, and I also train three times a week. I still enjoy being energetic. I have lived 35 years on the Sunshine Coast and loved every minute.

I was born in NSW and lived with a family that moved around a lot.

“When I left home, I also travelled and I have lived in such places as New Guinea, Scotland and Melbourne, and have been married twice. Then, at age 55 I finally settled on the Coast and have been here ever since and, as I said, I am still paddling.”

The Noosa Outrigger Club is going strong with a membership of 128. Members start at age eight (minors) and also 12-year-olds up to opens which start at 19. This age group goes 19 to 39, masters 40 to 49, seniors 50 to 59, goldens 60 to 69, and platinum 70 to 79. Regarding canoes they have 11, six- man canoes.

The atmosphere of the club is good. ‘’We have a good solid culture and back-

ground. We all work together and have respect for each other but no Polynesian heritage. Still have very strong family bond. We stand together and have respects for our boats and the water.”

In a club that has a cultural leaning tradition, it will always stand strong and there could be no better foundation for the future of a club.

Noosa surf teams For the surf teams from Noosa Heads Surf Club, last weekend competing in the branch championships at Mooloolaba, was indeed one of great results. What makes this so outstanding was the fact that they were the nipper branch titles. Thus, these results speak volumes for the future of the club in surf competition Also, it speaks highly for the coaching standard that is now available for Noosa’s young athletes and this is critical as the youth are the future of any club.

On the weekend however, one of Noosa’s open divisions, was also, again setting Australian beach events on its ear. His name is Kai Thompson and his event is beach flags.

It was while the Noosa nippers were making waves at the branch titles at Mooloolaba, this young Thompson was again showing his class on both Manly Beach on the Friday, and again on the Saturday, at Freshwater NSW. Winning the gold medal in this event, on two

Pictures: LESLIE DOWNEY PHOTOGRAPHY successive days , against some of the best in country, is to say the least, outstanding.

This is not the first visitation on to the winner’s podium for this young man. He has won both Australian and state titles on previous occasions. Indeed, a record of success in which all involved can take pride. Owing to a dangerous situation at both beaches in Sydney, all water events were cancelled. Beach events only were held.

The most pleasing factor at the branch titles, was the number of teams from the u11 to u15 groups that have qualified for the state championships in early February. The u15 male competitors, affectionally known as the Brat Pack, produced some dominating performances. In the board race they finished first, second and third and then backed up to win the board relay. They then added to this by winning places in both the iron man events, and surf races. Their performances in the surf races saw them also finish in the top three for the team event.

These results tell us that Noosa has a coaching panel that is indeed achieving great results right across the board and congratulations are in ordered. The panel under the leadership of Darren Mercer and Woogie Marsh and totally supported by Kai Thompson, Jordan Mercer and Rupert Anisimoff, have done us proud.

Well done to all involved.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Finally the Eddie did go Everyone in Hawaii knows that Eddie would go.

It’s not just that it’s been the most popular bumper sticker in the Islands for more than 30 years, honouring the memory of a famous big wave surfer and decorated lifeguard. It’s because it’s the call to action for the world’s most watched, most death-defying surfing event in the world.

When “the Bay calls the day”, as they say, it means that waves more than 20 feet high and almost as thick are expected to roll into beautiful Waimea Bay on Oahu’s North Shore all day, giving the 40 invitees to the Eddie Aikau Memorial Big Wave Invitational a platform for unbelievable heroics over two very long heats.

When contest director Clyde Aikau, Eddie’s younger brother and a former winner of the prestigious title, calls the Eddie on, the island of Oahu goes nuts.

Streams of traffic clog the freeway out of Honolulu and the two-lane Kam Highway along the North Shore is bumper to bumper soon after dawn. People walk miles from wherever they can find parking, then jostle to find a patch of sand or a clump of rocks at a safe distance from the awesome power of a turbulent sea that they’ve come to witness.

The Eddie is sometimes called the Super Bowl of Surfing, but it’s much more than that because it is such a rare treat to see it proceed.

There have been 34 opening ceremonies since its debut in the middle ‘80s, but the Eddie has gone only 10 times because of its strict adherence to minimum wave size. Unless it’s going to be massive all day, it’s not on.

Even this year’s event was given the green light a week earlier and then cancelled when swell conditions looked to be right on the minimum.

Last Sunday’s Eddie, held in monstrous conditions, with powerful and groomed 25 to 30 feet sets marching into the bay consistently all day, was the first time Eddie had gone since 2016.

The Honolulu-based Aikau clan (or ohana) was beachboy stock and highly respected along the Waikiki strip when Eddie and Clyde started to make names for themselves in surfing contests in the middle 1960s.

Eddie made the final of his first Duke Kahanamoku Classic in 1966, the same year he made his debut at Waimea Bay, fearlessly taking on huge waves with the big wave pioneers.

Soon both brothers were respected big wave riders, and Eddie also became the first permanent lifeguard on the frequently treacherous North Shore strip, where he saved hundreds of lives.

I first met the Aikaus in the winter North Shore season of 1976, when they sat either side of a trembling teenaged Mark Richards and brokered a truce in a war that had broken out between locals and visiting surfers.

I got to know them better a few months later when Eddie and Clyde came to Queensland for the first Stubbies Classic at Burleigh Heads in 1977. I remember them turning up in singlets and boardies for a civic reception with Gold Coast mayor Sir Bruce Small. The mayor looked askance at the start, but he was soon won over with Eddie and Clyde talking story and singing the old Hawaiian songs between beers.

A year later Eddie was dead before he turned 32, after the Hokule’a, a replica of an ancient Polynesian boat he had been crewing on, ran into trouble off the island of Lanai. While the rest of the crew hung onto the capsized boat, Eddie started paddling for the shore, 20 kilometres away. He was never seen again.

In 1984 North Shore surfer Eddie Rothman introduced the surviving Aikau family to Bob McKnight, the chief executive officer of Quiksilver, and talked about funding a surfing contest in Eddie’s honour. McKnight didn’t need much persuasion and the first Eddie was held at Sunset Beach late in 1984.

But McKnight felt something was missing.

Eddie was a Waimea big wave hero. It had to be a Bay event, and because the perfect big days are not guaranteed every season, the Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau would have a three-month waiting period and only run when conditions were perfect.

The Eddie did go at the Bay in 1986, and fittingly it was won by Clyde Aikau.

Quiksilver bowed out of its 30-year sponsorship in 2016 but the Aikaus managed to

scratch the funds together and staged a great event, won by rising big wave star John John Florence, while Clyde Aikau made a solid showing at the age of 66.

This year it looked like John would make it two in a row (the first surfer to do so) but then local lifeguard Luke Shepardson rode three of the biggest waves ever ridden at the Eddie and took out the prize.

It was a victory for the ages, but for me, watching a rather wobbly streaming of it in

Noosa, it was the old blokes who were the real stars.

Uncle Clyde directed rather than surfed, but the generation was represented by Uncle Michael Ho, 66, who surfed alongside son Mason and did it with style. And Australia’s veteran big wave charger, Ross Clarke Jones, who won it in 2001 in the only Eddie I’ve seen from the beach, made a few absolute bombs that would have gladdened the heart of anyone nudging 60.

PENTHOUSE ATTRACTING ATTENTION PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IT’S a particularly beautiful beachside apartment at Peregian Beach is attracting wide interest ahead of the auction on Saturday, 28 January, at 3pm.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car penthouse apartment with pool at 7/31-33 Lorikeet Dve is house size and all on one level.

Tracy Russell at Tom Offermann Real Estate said the 585sq m apartment was house size including the garage.

All on one level, the penthouse apartment has lift access from the secure two-car accommodation.

“It dominates the whole complex,’’ Tracy said. “This is the first time in eight years it has become available.

“It’s proving to be so popular. The whole concept is proving desirable.

“There is interest already - they can see the future value.

“The top-level apartment will always offer the attributes of size, lift, pool, garaging, easy access to the beach and 360-degree views.

“Those intrinsic values will always be there.’’

Interest to date has been from local, interstate and Brisbane buyers.

Refreshed over the years, the apartment complex sits in an elevated position on the sand dunes, with beautiful views of Peregian Mountain, Mount Ninderry and Mount Coolum.

“There are sunset views to die for,’’ Tracy said, “and the ocean to the east.

“It is so comfortable …. all the maintenance has been done. The benefits are there of being in a penthouse.

“The wrap-around terraces have direct access from every bedroom.’’

Wake to the sound of waves breaking

Laguna Real Estate’s Melanie Butcher with the seller of 41 Dolphin Cres, Noosaville. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront house with pool sold at auction for $5m. 315009 on the foreshore, and a short walk to the feeling sand between your toes.

WATERFRONT ATTRACTION Privacy, presentation and position provided the recipe for auction success of a fourbedroom, three-bathroom waterfront house with pool at Noosaville on Saturday.

Marketed by Melanie Butcher and Olivier Miller of Laguna Real Estate, the singlelevel house at 41 Dolphin Cres attracted wide interest, with multiple registrations from local and interstate buyers.

A crowd of about 50 was in attendance to see the opening bid of $4m quickly move to $5m where it was announced to be on the market and selling to local interests.

The house offers complete privacy with only one neighbour, and is adjacent to Nancy Cato Park.

It was virtually rebuilt a couple of years ago, and features a stunning outlook, with views out across the waterways to Mount Cooroy.

CENTRE OF ATTENTION It’s a short street right in the heart of

Eumundi and it was filled on Saturday afternoon, not from the market crowds but with more than 100 people inspecting the house at 15 Low St. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom architect-designed house with pool on 2849sq m goes to auction at 10am on Saturday, 18 February.

Nathan Howie of Noosa Estate Agents said the response to the first open house was unbelievable.

“Everyone was very impressed by the quality and the setting. Many said it was the best house they have ever seen.’’

Understandably, there is early registered interest in the property from locals and throughout South East Queensland.

We’ve had some stunning homes in the hinterland over the years and this an excellent example of building for the environment.

It has the feeling of living on acreage yet with the convenience of living in town.

In an elevated part of town and at the end of Low St, it has the perfect aspect.

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex apartment Villa 2/14 Weyba St, Sunshine Beach, goes to auction Saturday, 28 January, at 1pm. 314796 “No expense has been spared,’’ Nathan said, “from the designer lighting to the kitchen.

“It doesn’t feel like a kitchen yet when you get into it you just want to do a cooking class.

“There is a cellar downstairs cellar, and the gardens are established yet not high maintenance.

“It will attract those looking for this feel but without having to look after acreage.’’

Designed for shared yet private living, the home consists of three pavilions connected by glassed hallways, which allow the surrounding nature to sneak into the home.

The lower floor houses a large garage, a stunning 600-plus bottle wine cellar, an additional storage area, and a huge office space that is large enough to be transformed into a fifth bedroom or third living area. It has a private external entry.

Upstairs features cathedral ceilings, picture windows, and seamless stack-adoors.

Sunshine Beach, goes to auction at 1pm.

Two blocks to the beach, the apartment has a lot of character and charm about it, Greg said.

“People love the feel of it. The floorplan works well.

“Situated on the north-east corner, it has north-east aspect and gets the early morning sun as well as being private.

“It is very quiet in that it is set back from street and in a peaceful precinct.

“This would be ideal for a holiday home or to lock-and-leave.’’

There is a whole mix of interest in the apartment, Greg said, from locals looking to downsize, Brisbane interest looking for a holiday home, ex-pats and interstate people looking to relocate.

OLD TEWANTIN APPEAL Earlier on Saturday, Greg Smith will take a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at Tewantin to auction.

He will be ringing the bell at 11am at 6 Cambridge Ct, which he describes as arguably one of the better streets in Old Tewantin.

“It’s very quiet, private, close to the river and not too far from the shopping centre.

“The single-level house has great bones

BIJOU BEAUTY WITH GARDEN TERRACE IF you crave an exceptional lifestyle walking to almost everything you need and love around the neighbourhood, a chic, two bedroom, airconditioned bijou apartment, with a private alfresco garden terrace, located in the cosmopolitan heart of Noosa Heads, hits the spot in every respect.

From the pathway edged with lush gardens and entry into the building’s foyer, open the first door on the left to reveal a bright contemporary cool apartment with open plan living and dining, and white bagged-brick textured walls. Natural light bounces over the large creamy-white floor tiles thanks to sliding doors which, in an almost seamless fashion, bring indoors out to the north-facing year-round sunny terrace.

A high timber fence adds to the privacy factor, so it is a wonderful space for entertaining and sun worshippers, or why not grow kitchen herbs and colourful geraniums in pots.

The roomy C-shaped white kitchen with stone-topped cabinetry/breakfast bar, has a grey-tiled splashback plus all the necessary accoutrements and appliances to inspire a creative cook.

Two large bedrooms have built-in

robes and louvre-style blinds. The master looks out to the terrace and the recently renovated all-white bathroom has a stonetopped two-pac vanity. Bonuses are a powder room and laundry with washer and dryer.

“The apartment with garden terrace, is certainly a gem, and incorporates the core fundamentals of what can only be perceived as the perfect lifestyle for the downsizer, couple or sage investor,“ said Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller, who has slated the apartment for auction on Saturday 11 February.

“Also, it is easy to see why you can leave the car in the garage. The quiet leafy street is so close to heart of cosmopolitan Noosa Heads aka buzzy Noosa Junction with its plethora of boutiques, supermarkets, cinema complex, myriad on-trend bars and cafes plus medical services and the transit centre.

“Noosa Main Beach, Hastings Street and the main entrance to Noosa National Park, with its world-famous Surfing Reserve are a walk away. Take the regular bus service to Gympie Terrace, Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach and beyond plus numerous beautiful stops along the way.“ ●

GLEAMING FAMILY HOME TREASURE living and loving life in a large private family residence with multiple living and leisure indoors as well as a northfacing undercover space outdoors to suit the consummate entertainer? How about an immensely popular Noosaville estate with cycle and walking tracks, close to several parks, highly regarded schools and a small shopping precinct?

Well, here it is.

From the street, the quiet location is complemented by a flourishing easy maintenance tropical garden with agaves, foxtail palms and bright red heliconias, and a pathway leading to a polished concrete entry way with timber and glass front door.

Inside broadens to impress whilst radiating contemporary flair and scale.

Appreciate the monochromatic palette of muted grey-hued tiled flooring, serene ambience, generosity of spaces including a media room, and an open plan living/dining opening to an expansive partially covered alfresco terrace. The lawn area is murrayafringed at the fence line, and on the northwest boundary a kid’s play area currently houses a fire pit.

Central to the main living space is a galley-style kitchen with grey stone topped/ two-pac cabinetry, a semi-island/breakfast bar, pendants, grey tiled splashback, a very wide walk-in pantry with shelving

also window to the garden, and as you would expect high quality appliances plus plumbing is in place for the icemaker fridge.

A hang-out teen retreat which also opens out to the alfresco space, heralds the west wing with three bedrooms. Each has built-in robes while on the south side is the master suite with walk-in robe and an ensuite with natural stone-topped timber-toned vanity. The same aesthetic is featured in the family bathroom which also has a deep bath tub and separate toilet.

The two-car garage with a dedicated laundry area has access to a drying area.

“Located in the highly desirable estate of Doonella, it is understandable why this residence ticks all the boxes,“ said Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart.

It is a quiet family-friendly neighbourhood, is a four-minute walk (350m) to St Teresa’s Catholic College and a 12-minute walk (900m) to Noosaville State School. Noosa Civic Shopping Centre is four-minutes away, Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club and the Gympie Terrace riverside dining precinct are less than 10 minutes’ drive, plus it is 14 minutes to Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the main entrance to the Noosa National Park.“ ●

The plans have multiple over-generous, open plan living areas which open seamlessly to expansive terraces. The pool ostensibly floats over the garden and nature reserve below, where lorikeets and other colourful birds trill amongst the grevillea nectar.

property to auction on Saturday 28 January 2023.

“The imposing family residence or investment holiday home will undoubtedly be a standout –contemporary without seeming contrived.

SO MUCH MORE THAN A HOME STEPPING inside this home is truly something special.

It has an energy that envelops you.

Immediately, you feel awe-struck by its beauty but also grounded by its serenity.

The dark solid timber walls that allow glorious glimpses of sky and form frames around the incredible vista beyond, offer strength and safety. The deliberately minimalist design encourages you to breathe and draw in the environment.

The home epitomises the serenity and sustainability that we are collectively craving after the chaos and uncertainty of recent years.

Well before the carnage of the 2020s, masterful designer Frank Macchia recognised the significant impact that a physical space can have on health and well-being. The result of his vision is this stunning sophisticated bespoke home, a collection of deliberate and purposeful spaces curated to immerse its inhabitants in the environment while providing a nurturing and private sanctuary.

The home is deliberately designed to have definite distinctions between living, sleeping and bathing zones. The zones are connected by enclosed decks which blur the lines between inside and out, the shift

in ambiance gently reminds you to move mindfully from one space to the next. Entry to each new zone is heralded by a single solid step which signals you to shift gears.

This exquisite home promises to provide a unique relaxed, slow lifestyle that can be indulged in by its owners or continue to be shared with the world as a highly successful short-term accommodation. ●
