Frothing fun at festival The Noosa Festival of Surfing kicked off last weekend with a howling good time had by some of its first wave riders at the Vetshop Australia dog surfing competition.

While a sunny day and light waves were a perfect combination for the event other events have shifted to Noosa River mouth or eastern beaches to make the best of conditions.

The festival continues this weekend with the Vissla Twin Fin paying homage to the shapers of yesteryear and some never before seen footage from the Surf Film Archive to be shown at The J Theatre. For more information visit noosafestivalofsurfing.com Stories and photographs, pages 35 and 39

Camper hardline 12497020-DL22-21

Noosa Council on Monday adopted “a zerotolerance approach to illegal camping“ in response to growing community frustration.

It follows an “education-first approach“ in January.

Council’s local laws manager Paul Kirkley said after efforts were made to make campers aware that camping on streets and in carparks, particularly at Noosa Spit, was illegal, it was now time for a hardline approach as travellers continued to ignore the rules, often leaving a mess in their wake.

“The community is becoming tired of the pressure illegal campers are putting on our streets and carparks,“ he said.

“It’s often not just rubbish they’re leaving behind. Frequently they’re using our parks and gardens as toilets.“

On Monday evening the Noosa Spit car park was filled with cars, many camper vans, while people socialised, swam, walked dogs, shared meals and watched the sun set.

The ambience was friendly and welcoming as overseas visitors mixed with locals.

No one Noosa Today asked said they planned to sleep the night in the car park although some visitors said the site was listed on camping apps.

One Noosa couple, who often visit to catch up with friends and enjoy the atmosphere, said the area was a regular meeting spot for people working in the hospitality industry as well as backpackers.

They blamed weekend P-plate drivers for leaving a mess behind them which they said backpackers often cleaned up.

Council’s crack down this week comes after Noosa Today received two letters from residents complaining of illegal campers in Noosa Woods, but with differing views of council’s response to the situation.

Noosa Heads resident John Webb described how his family were walking along the footpath abeam the public carpark at the Noosa river mouth on the morning of 1 March when his young son “went a couple of metres into the bush to retrieve a ball“ and “emerged a few seconds later with his thong and foot covered in fresh human excrement“.

“While we attempted to remove the filth, my wife was physically sick and my four-yearold hysterical,“ he said.

“Among the 10 or so private campervans parked up, at least three had not moved for

four or more days. The owner of one, who’d witnessed our distress, commented that such incidents would continue to occur as council locked the public toilets in Noosa Woods at night.

“When I pointed to the sign above his head that stated “No camping, fines apply”, he just laughed and walked off. I was left speechless“.

Mr Webb admitted illegal camping in Noosa’s public carparks was not new but blamed a recent explosion in numbers on “Council’s apparent zero appetite to enforce the no camping policy and the use by campers of social media and other websites that specialise in promulgating the location of free camping areas in top tourist destinations in all corners of the globe”.

Police have charged a man following an alleged robbery with violence in Maroochydore on Wednesday 1 March.

Initial investigations indicate around 2.30pm a 29-year-old New South Wales man was allegedly punched in the face and had his vehicle, a red Corolla, stolen by another man in the carpark of a Horton Parade shopping complex.

During the assault, police will allege the victim was dragged from the vehicle and a short struggle ensued where the victim raised the alarm with a passer-by.

Police stopped the vehicle from exiting the

carpark at the intersection of Amaroo Street and Maroochydore Road and took the alleged driver, a 43-year-old Marcoola man into custody without incident.

The victim sustained minor facial injuries and was treated at the scene.

The 43-year-old Marcoola man has been charged with one count each of robbery, unlawful entry of a motorvehicle, unlawful use of a motor vehicle and driving UIL. He was granted police bail and will appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Wednesday 22 March.

It’s wonderful to see people volunteering year after year for more than 30 years now to take part in Clean Up Australia.

And each year many kilograms of rubbish are removed from beaches, waterways, schools, roads and the hinterland.

My question, though, is why does the community need to do this every year?

After three decades have people learnt nothing from the clean up campaign to stop the littering happening in the first place.

It was great to see volunteers at Peregian Beach returning from their clean ups with only small amounts of rubbish. That seems to be a measure of success in the region, even if the success is the result of beach walkers and bush care groups cleaning up the daily rubbish left by others.

On sunset the other evening we headed to The Spit expecting to be confronted with all manner of refuse after receiving several complaints about illegal camping. What we discovered was something completely different. We were greeted by a warm and friendly gathering of people of all ages who had arrived to watch the sunset, sit around, share a drink or some food and chat. It was like a scene from the golden years of Noosa often reflected on by locals.

Noosa rubbish cleaned up Clean-Up Australia Day volunteer numbers were down this year but there was still plenty of rubbish to be found along Noosa’s parks and streets, waterways, wetlands, the foreshores and beaches of our beautiful region during the event last Sunday.

The national CUAD event has been coordinated locally for many years by community group, Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA).

This year NICA volunteer and Noosa councillor Joe Jurisevic organised 18 registration and collection sites across the Noosa region, including six in the hinterland, three along the eastern beaches and nine around the lower Noosa River and lakes.

NICA volunteer Peter Hannam said volunteers picked up 15-20 sackfuls of rubbish including old crap pots, discarded tyres, plastic bottles and cigarette butts.

It was promising to hear there was less litter to be found at Peregian Beach where clean up organiser councillor Frank Wilkie attributed the cleanliness to the area’s beach walkers and bush care volunteers who pick up local rubbish on a daily basis.

Cr Wilkie said this year’s volunteers were mostly mums and dads and grandparents with children and grandchildren, and he was pleased to discover the school children were well aware of how to properly dispose of waste

Students at Pomona campus lend a hand to clean up.

and recycle materials.

Noosa District State High School held their own Clean Up Australia Day last Friday with students taking on various tasks to keep the school grounds clean and tidy.

From clearing out bushes to tidying up the bag racks, the Pomona Campus students worked tirelessly to make the school environment a cleaner and safer place for everyone.

It was an early start but staff were impressed at the level of student involvement and optimism.

NICA president Angela van Boxtel described the clean up as a key part of catchment management to which everyone could make a contribution.

“Every piece of litter removed improves the natural environment on which our diverse local wildlife depends,“ she said.

Mr Gordon, Year 7 coordinator of Pomona Campus, said it was a great opportunity for the students to learn about the importance of caring for the environment and taking responsibility for their actions and good to see their willingness to make a positive impact.

At the school’s Cooroy Campus 24 students volunteered their time and enthusiasm before school to clean up the environment surrounding the school.

ANZ property team chooses to tread lightly in Noosa The Specialist Property Team at ANZ stepped away from behind the desk to connect with Noosa’s rich diverse environment and volunteered to clean up Main Beach while in Noosa with Plastic Free Noosa under the Tread Lightly Noosa program.

The group met at the Visitor Information Centre on Hastings Street this week and after a brief presentation, volunteers collected their upcycled malt bags (generously donated by Heads of Noosa) and gloves before heading out to Main Beach eager to collect microplastics and other plastic pollution from First Point to The Groyne and in towards Noosa Woods.

After an hour and a half of trawling the foreshore, rock walls, vegetation and areas adjacent to the boardwalk – including the garden beds (often a hiding spot for empty bottles and cans), a total of 33.4kg of waste was collected and close to 3000 individual pieces of litter removed from the environment.

Volunteers were surprised by the volume of waste found with many beginning the clean-up with the view ‘...the beach is clean and there was no rubbish to be found’ shared Peita Otterbach, Plastic Free Noosa program manager.

Volunteers emptied their bags onto a mat set up in Noosa Woods and while some observed, a number chose to get hands-on and join in on the sorting and recording of waste collected.

From separating plastic and compostable

The apecialist property team at ANZ stepped away from behind the desk and volunteered to clean up Main Beach. straws and single-use takeaway food packaging, to counting hair ties, band aides and cigarette butts, delegates gained insight into the usual litter culprits and the method of data collection used by the Plastic Free Noosa program under the Australian Marine Debris Initiative.

Jason Cannock from ANZ said, “The Tread Lightly Noosa Program was a wonderful opportunity for ANZ to give back to the local community in such a positive way. The program coordinators did an amazing job in the lead up to our afternoon of volunteering.

“Our staff were provided with a professional briefing to explain the task ahead along with information about the local environment and the impacts of plastic pollutions.

“We were amazed at the amount of waste collected, 33kg removed from a 1.2km stretch of Noosa Main Beach. With waste collected, sorted and recorded our staff were able to see the impacts of our efforts and we appreciated the opportunity to make a difference to this beautiful environment.”

Otterbach said, “It is one thing to collect rubbish but when volunteers choose to go

one step further and get involved in waste sorting and recording, powerful and productive conversations are usually had, and the ANZ team of volunteers was no exception.“ Curious to understand the local contributing factors driving the volume of waste and relating this to their own hometowns, the conversation organically evolved amongst the ANZ volunteers to the journey of waste from production through to disposal and its impacts on the environment.

“It was encouraging to see the energy and enthusiasm amongst the team lift as they explored the power of consumers and what they may do as collective to eliminate plastic pollution from the outset while in Noosa and when they return home to their daily lives,“ Otterbach said.

“The enormity of plastic pollution can be overwhelming for some but it’s the brainstorming and collaborating on solutions that often brings a team together, especially amongst corporate groups.“ The Plastic Free Noosa Beach Clean-ups are one of the six environment-based experiences available to visitors under the Tread Lightly Noosa program, launched by Tourism Noosa in December in 2022.

Plastic Free Noosa looks forward to hosting Fun Over 50s on 21 March for a beach clean-up under the Tread Lightly Noosa program.

Full house at The Spit carpark at sunset where camping is illegal.

Council camp clamp down From page 1 In a separate letter, Peter Eglen of Peregian Beach praised council’s swift response after his submission to council of a Snap, Send, Solve notification “of illegal campers using our public car parks (in this instance when a camper blatantly used the bush around the first car park in the Woods as his own latrine)“. “[Council] called to inform me that they have re-initiated a team of people to deal with the unsavoury characters who wish to visit our beautiful region but then abuse it in the most disgusting way,“ Mr Eglen said.

“I was so pleased to hear how the council workers are very serious in solving this rising issue of illegal campers spoiling our region by imposing fines on those individuals.“ Mayor Clare Stewart said officers were fed up with illegal campers ignoring the warnings.

“I have had discussions with residents and understand their concerns, and we share those concerns and our staff are doing all they can to curb the illegal activity,” she said.

In 2022, officers issued 212 fines for illegal camping and the issue accounted for about a third of the total complaints relating to Local Laws in Noosa.

“We have already issued over 50 fines in the first two months this year,” Mr Kirkley said.

“We have limited powers to move people

Locals mix with visitors at Noosa Spit. on but given the community’s growing impatience and the health risks associated with illegal camping, we are starting to issue more fines on the spot.“

Community services director Kerri Contini said compliance officers were doing their best to control illegal campers.

“Illegal camping is a significant problem in

many coastal areas across Queensland and it’s no different in Noosa.

“With no move on powers, it is challenging for compliance officers to stop the illegal overnight camping.

“It’s important that the community understands that someone staying in an area during the day is not considered illegal camping.

“However, under the Local Law, it’s an offence to stay, camp or sleep overnight in a vehicle or other mobile accommodation, tent or sleeping bag.”

“Part of our plan is to continue the early morning patrols, particularly in the Noosa Spit area and our staff will have no hesitation issuing fines of $287 to those ignoring the advice.

“Education is a key part of what we do by letting them know about our wonderful caravan parks and making them aware that it is illegal to stay overnight.“ Ms Contini said when resourcing allowed, compliance officers would visit high profile sites in the afternoons to let campers know it was illegal to stay overnight and provide them with an informative fact sheet.

“Our staff juggle a range of compliance issues, such as dog attacks, parking, dogs off leash and many more, so we have to monitor a lot across the shire,” she said.

Kiwis flying in for winter In a boost for holiday, business and family travel, Air New Zealand has announced its direct service between the Sunshine Coast and Auckland is returning.

Once again opening the Sunshine Coast to the world, Air New Zealand has scheduled direct services between Auckland to recommence from 25 June.

Operating three times a week (Sunday, Wednesday and Friday), the return of Air New Zealand’s seasonal service will operate until 15 October.

Providing more than 16,000 seats between the two destinations during the season, the service will operate on an A320neo aircraft.

Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive officer Andrew Brodie said it was wonderful to have direct international services back and was looking forward to the Kiwi koru plane tails returning to the runway.

“Air New Zealand’s return to the Sunshine Coast is a vote of confidence in our destination, as we know the Kiwis have a long-standing love affair with all our region has to offer.

“Just in time for the New Zealand school holidays, this service will bring high-value tourism into our region, and with a variety of natural assets, exceptional produce and calen-

dar of world-class events, we’re ready to welcome our Kiwi cousins with open arms.

“For locals too, this is a great opportunity to connect from your home airport directly to New Zealand, or with a short stopover in Auckland before venturing further afield to a variety of destinations in North America, the Pacific Islands and Asia”.

Air New Zealand’s chief customer and sales officer, Leanne Geraghty said that the airline was really pleased to have the direct flights between Auckland and the Sunshine Coast available again.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming Queenslanders to our shores to experience everything New Zealand has to offer – from our wonderful winter playground to the stunning wineries, there’s something for everyone.

“With our direct service launching and good connections onto our domestic network means more opportunity for Queenslanders to discover New Zealand any time of the year.”

Visit Sunshine Coast chief executive officer, Matt Stoeckel, said New Zealand was the Sunshine Coast’s largest in-bound market and the destination was a natural for Kiwis over the winter and autumn seasons.

“The Sunshine Coast’s renowned beach

culture, wide range of events, rich food scene and laidback lifestyle makes the region highly attractive for international visitors,” said Mr Stoeckel.

“The timing of the flights is ideal for New Zealanders to experience two of our prime winter events – the Curated Plate food festival and the Horizon arts festival. The diversity of our attractions makes the Sunshine Coast ideal for both first-time and returning visitors.”

Tourism Noosa acting chief executive officer Susan Ewington said Noosa was excited to welcome back Air New Zealand’s direct flights to Sunshine Coast Airport, which is just 30 minutes from Noosa.

“Our Kiwi friends can start their holidays sooner and be at Noosa’s beautiful beaches, restaurants and spas just a few hours after leaving home,” Ms Ewington said.

“It’s perfect timing for Noosa’s winter and spring events calendar, with some great sporting, food and cultural events coming up including the 10-day Noosa Alive arts and cultural festival; Floating Land, Australia’s premiere arts-in-the-environment event; the Noosa Enduro and Noosa Classic cycling events through the beautiful Noosa hinterland and the Noosa Open Studio arts trail.

“We’ll soon have holiday inspiration and great deals through our new Find your Inner Noosa campaign, so if you’re thinking of a sunny winter holiday, keep an eye on Visit Noosa.”

Ms Ewington said New Zealand had been an important source market for Noosa, particularly over the winter months, which had grown considerably in the few years before the pandemic.

“New Zealand had cemented itself in the top two international markets for Noosa, spending around $25m in the region each year, so we’re looking forward to welcoming Kiwi visitors back to our beaches and river, to the food and wine scene, and on tours.

“We’ve had some great new breweries, distilleries and restaurants open in the past couple of years, so it’s definitely time to come back and explore Noosa.

“This is another milestone for our Sunshine Coast Airport and we’re excited to work with them to welcome the return of Air New Zealand.”

Sunshine Coast Airport is forecast to welcome 1.5 million passengers in 2022/23, as one of the fastest growing and the first and only airport in Australia to hold Level 3+ Carbon Neutrality status.

Architectural students re-imaging Pomona buildings The numbers of people attending the Pomona Country Markets on Saturday 11 March will be swelled by a further 150 architectural students from the Queensland University of Technology, in town to explore Pomona’s characterful buildings and streetscapes as part of their academic studies.

The students will ask the market attendees what makes the town ‘special’ and will then seek to ‘re-imagine’ one or two public buildings in a hypothetical exercise.

They will display their work in June.

This is the 10th year that QUT students have come to Pomona to explore its architecture.

The relationship between the town and the university began in 2013 when townsfolk reached out to the university to prepare an alternative design for the Pomona Fire Station after the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) proposed two bland industrial sheds for the area beside the ambulance station.

Subsequently the QFES agreed to the request for a more suitable building on site, in keeping with the rest of the town’s look and feel. Less than a decade old, the fire station appears to be from the 1950s, similar to the ambulance station next door.

The architectural course administrators saw value in sending students each year to explore the timber and tin buildings of a typical Queensland country town and its setting in the landscape.

The students are invited to consider residents as their ‘clients’, asking questions about people’s lifestyle and how they interact

QUT School of Design senior lecturer Dr Marissa Lindquist with Brian O’Connor of Pomona, student Luke Savonoff and one of his tutors. with Pomona’s public areas and iconic colonial structures.

This year, the students will focus on the cluster of buildings from the Pomona Memo-

rial Hall to the Old Railway Station Gallery, and also the Pomona Showgrounds.

Noosa Council has named Pomona as the focus of an inaugural placemaking exercise

that will be rolled out progressively to other communities across the Shire.

That study will occur separately from the students’ work.

Housing crisis hits home

By Margie Maccoll The community has been called on to help their neighbours during the current housing crisis until government investment in affordable housing comes to fruition, expected to occur in two years.

Noosa Council has a vision of an inclusive community where everybody has access to safe, secure housing they can afford, council’s CEO Scott Waters told last week’s housing forum, at which stakeholders came together to unpack Noosa’s current housing crisis.

Mayor Clare Stewart said there was no one solution but a community committee had varying ideas for a way forward and council were committed to an end goal.

Council’s community services director Kerri Contini, a resident of more than 40 years, talked about a Noosa that had been home to artists, surfers and restaurant owners in which housing was affordable, but that has changed.

We have long term locals considering if they can remain and their children not able to afford to live in the community, she said. We see businesses not able to operate because they have no staff. People can’t get care for their parents because carers have no where to live.

Through technology the audience provided their own stories of working families who can’t afford to live in Noosa, people living in their cars, young people being forced to leave the area to look for affordable accommodation and the divide between the haves and have nots widening.

Ms Contini said statistics showed almost 80 per cent of housing in Noosa was made up of separate houses, 77 per cent three bedroom houses, and the median price was $1.5 million. Rental properties make up about 20 per cent with vacancy rates as low as 0.6 per cent in Tewantin and up to 3.9 per cent in coastal areas with median rental costs per week for a house $1500, one-bedroom unit $390, three-

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton addresses a housing forum last week. bedroom unit $690 and four-bedroom $850.

Ms Contini said there was a lot of capacity for existing houses to take in more people with two-thirds of households lived in by 1-2 people.

Figures show Noosa is not a highly paid community with median entire household income about $1470 per week and many in Noosa’s workforce employed in areas of accommodation and food (15 per cent), health care (14 per cent), retail (13 per cent) and construction (8 per cent). Full time workers are comprised

of 25 per cent of people aged 15-24, 50 per cent of people aged 25-54 and 40 per cent of people over 55 years.

Of those more than 25 per cent live outside the shire and 25 per cent live in the hinterland, she said.

To deal with the situation the forum heard businesses were providing rentals to workers, workers were living in people’s sheds, sleeping in cars, caravans and tents, some were driving 1.5 hours each way to work and some were reducing the number of days worked.

Darce Foley, general manager of Youturn youth support, a not-for-profit organisation begun 30 years ago, which provides support to youths and families and crisis accommodation, provided examples of local people struggling with housing affordability.

Among them was Mary (not her real name) who had rented a home in Tewantin for 20 years and worked as a cleaner. When her rent was increased $60 a week she bought a van to live in, expecting rents to return to affordable rates, but that hasn’t happened and she now sleeps in her van, moving it from place to place.

Noosa Council community services director Kerri Contini Youturn told the forum the hinterland was seeing more women who can’t afford their rent and were moving into tents, disrupting the lives of children and losing their support networks and the organisation was also seeing women remaining in unhealthy relationships because they had nowhere to go.

Coast2Bay housing provider chief operating officer Lee Banfield introduced the forum to Wendy, one of their tenants, who was provided with community housing when her husband became ill. Her home is owned by a private investor who rents it through Coast2Bay. “I’m grateful to the investor supporting community housing,” Wendy said. “I feel part of the community. My husband is now in residential care so housing security is more important. When you’re on your own you have to feel secure. I can shut my door and feel secure.

For me community housing is an absolute life-

line. There are others out there just as desperate - I was.”

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton told the forum after 30 years of inadequate spending by governments the current situation did not come as a surprise.

When she moved to Noosa 35 years ago Ms Bolton and her children lived in a shed with no power or water.

“I saw my shed rented for $650 a week. That was an indicator we were in for a rough ride,” she said.

Ms Bolton said during Covid while people were flooding in to the region escalating rentals and property prices her office was contacted by 4-5 local families a day seeking accommodation. “These are our parents, our children, our loved ones,” she said. The impact is increased domestic violence, increased mental illness. It impacts every single member

of the community, she said.

“We need 50,000 affordable rentals right now across Queensland. National housing board has committed to building 30,000 nationally over the next five years.

But money is now being injected into affordable housing from state and federal governments.

A first site has been purchased in Doonella Street, another site will be announced before June and four DV units will be announced shortly, Ms Bolton said.

Working with church organisations a further three sites are being investigated.

“There’s a lot going on. The problem with that is - time is not on our side. It’s going to take at least two years for the money to come in. Then we can’t get builders and materials.

It’s adding to the difficulties being faced.

“We desperately need temporary accom-

modation to get us through these two years.

“It’s so important the community supports us and think about sub-leasing, property sharing and how to assist over the next two years.”

Councill’s strategic planner Rowena Skinner told the forum contemporary social housing had changed from ugly low cost developments created in the past to better reflect local needs.

Noosa has about 400 social housing dwellings and it has not had a big impact on the price of housing, she said, and bonuses are available to developers to include some affordable housing in development applications.

Ms Skinner said right now residents could be doing something to help by taking in a boarder, renting out a granny flat, renting an investment house through a housing provider such as Coast2Bay, allowing a tiny house on your block of land or renting your short-term accommodation out to a permanent tenant.

Places make Noosa Flood funds Residents are invited to nominate the special places, buildings and features they consider are important to the character, identity, and story of Noosa Shire.

“We know from feedback from our Liveability and Customer Satisfaction Surveys that our community places high importance on heritage and character,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

“We’d love to hear, in detail, what people value.

“Whether it’s a special place, a street, a unique building or structure, or even a view, residents and visitors can share their thoughts either online, through a survey, or in person at a series of community events.”

“The aim is to discover places across the Shire, from the coast to the mountains, that are important in telling the story of the Noosa region over time,” heritage coordinator, Jane Harding, added.

“Our community’s input will help us recognise, celebrate, and conserve, the special places and features we want to hold on to for future generations.

“It’s no secret that Noosa is world-renowned for its natural beauty, environmental values and iconic natural features. But it also has a rich history. Our urban, built environment, and heritage and character places play an important role in shaping our identity and this review will help us recognise, share and conserve those places.

Whether it’s a street, a unique building, a tree, or even a view, residents and visitors are invited to nominate the special places they feel are important to the character, identity, and story of Noosa Shire.

“Whether it’s the places that played host to unique local stories, have historical significance, or are linked to those who have lived and worked in the region, or have a special and

unique attachment to the local community, all input is welcome.

“Even more recent buildings can quickly gain a deep connection to place. Hence there is no age limit on what we consider our heritage,” Ms Harding said.

The feedback received during the consultation, which runs until the end of March, will help council to ensure Noosa’s heritage and character remain an integral part of our local identity and landscape.

Businesses get ready in case of disaster

By Margie Maccoll Be prepared is not just the Scout motto but the key to building resilience and readying for any disaster, small business owners heard during a forum held last week at The J Theatre.

Organised by Noosa Council and led by Sue Monk and Tanya Phillips of Articulous, a Brisbane-based company specialising in community engagement and crisis communication, the forum brought together small business owners, emergency service experts and council officers.

Ms Monk provided a list of tips for businesses to take on board before disaster struck.

These included making a disaster plan in advance, checking insurance policies, backing up data, ensuring operational alternatives such as generators were in place and thinking through delivery options from suppliers.

She said when situations put business reputations under threat it was always best to be upfront and transparent.

“You’ve been through fires, floods, landslides and Covid,“ said Ms Monk as she called on audience members to relay some of their disaster experiences.

Noosa and District Landcare general manager Phil Moran talked about the impact on last year’s floods on Pomona that left many people cut off for days and coping with power outages, fallen trees, damaged roads and concerns for pets and livestock.

NOOSA MATS & RUGS

Sue Monk from Articulous leads a business resilience forum.

“Things you need to put aside are batteries, water and food,“ he said. Following the flood some people took action to raise buildings in the realisation it would happen again, he said.

A Pomona resident, Nick, told how despite over-engineering their accommodation business, a landslide on his property taught him you can’t prepare for everything, but you can recover.

“Keeping your wellbeing in mind is critical and not being afraid to ask for help,“ he said.

“Everybody comes together. That’s what pulls you through.“ Mayor Clare Stewart told the forum as the wife of a small business owner she knew that

168 Eumundi Rd, Noosaville 4556 Ph: 5442 4899 | noosarugs.com.au noosarugs noosarugs Follow us

your work, your business never leaves you - it is always on your mind.

Cr Stewart said council support of business owners extended beyond the forum to access to services from economic development staff, including its business support panel and two hours of free support marketing, HR, business planning and mentoring and encouraged people to make use of it.

The forum also heard from representatives from the Queensland Regional Industry Development Authority on the availability and access of small business disaster recovery grants and the Insurance Council of Australia on the insurance claim process.

The Sunshine Coast will be better prepared for future floods and storms, with the Sunshine Coast Regional Council and Noosa Shire Council receiving over $700,000 for new flood studies, risk assessments and warning intelligence systems as part of an over $18 million Queensland-wide package.

The funding will go towards: $27,734 for a Lake Entrance Boulevard Flood Mitigation Feasibility Assessment. $225,570 for an Update to Noosa River Flood Study. $123,438 for a Noosa Total Flood Warning Review. $13,162 for scoping Study for Flood Warning Intelligence System. $53,739 for a new Flood Warning Intelligence System with integration into Disaster Dashboard. $16,772 for a Scoping Study on updating Noosa River & Six Mile Creek flood study hydrology. $118,040 for the Sunshine Coast Communities Flood Emergency Management Plans. $92,000 for Maroochy River Flood Mitigation Investigation. $69,000 for a Revised IFD Data for Sunshine Coast Flood Studies.

Senator Anthony Chisholm welcomed the grants and said they would help keep people across the Sunshine Coast safer.

“By understanding the local risks, we can better protect areas from disasters before they strike, which is key to protecting lives and livelihoods, as well as reducing the overall cost of disasters,” Senator Chisholm said.

“As we continue to support floodimpacted areas in the recovery process, we also need to look ahead to how we do better in the future.

“When finished, these flood studies will be a useful tool in the councils’ toolkits.

Funding was open to 36 Local Government Areas who were impacted during the 2021-22 disaster season.

This package is one of three made available through the $31 million Flood Risk Management Program, which is being administered by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.

Boost for Moon’s Mission Two Sunshine Coast schools and a local Noosa swimming group last week joined thousands of others interstate and around the world to #ShowYourStripes for Rare Disease Day and helped raise funds to cure local Coolum girl, Tallulah Moon Whitrod, of a rare degenerative disease.

Tallulah Moon’s mother Golden Whitrod heads up the local Foundation Genetic Cures for Kids and its first campaign- Our Moon’s Mission – which is funding research to cure the neurodegenerative rare disease, Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Type 56, or SPG56.

The hereditary disease is a neurological disorder characterised by a progressive spasticity and muscle weakness of the lower limbs that has two subtypes, uncomplicated and complicated forms. Accompanying clinical features can include intellectual disability, dystonia, cerebellar ataxia, subclinical peripheral neuropathy and visual impairment.

“Tallulah is one of more than 300 million people living in the world with a rare disease, and of those millions, only a small percentage have access to treatments right now,” Golden said.

“Our campaign to cure SPG56 was clearly born from our innate desperation and determination to save our daughter, but importantly by developing that cure, our researchers at University of Queensland and Griffith University are developing a replicable framework that could be used to find treatments for other rare diseases, of which there are over 7000,” Golden said.

Noosa Swimmin’ Wimmin (and men), a group of local ocean swimmers backed Our Moon’s Mission at sunrise on Noosa Main Beach by painting their bodies in zinc stripes to join in the international celebration of #ShowYourStripes for Rare Disease Day. Meanwhile, Peregian Beach College and St Andrew’s Anglican Grammar School held uniform-free days and hundreds of students

Peregian Beach College showed their stripes on Rare Disease Day. dressed in bright stripes to raise awareness for Our Moon’s Mission and Rare Disease Day. “Not only was it fun for students to #ShowYourStripes: the Whitrod family also spoke about their rare disease journey at school assemblies, giving important context to the students about how dressing in stripes was a symbol of advocacy and inclusion” Peregian Beach College principal Shane Dupuy said.

Together, the fundraising efforts across

both schools and the club raised over $3500, every dollar of which funds the active research underway at UQ’s Australian Institute of Bioengineering and Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery.

Golden said they were overwhelmed by fundraising efforts and attributed the success to the people of the Sunshine Coast who helped with raising awareness, running cake stall fundraisers and gold coin donations.

“It was a phenomenal effort, but more inspiring than the funds themselves, was the response we felt from this unique Sunshine Coast community. To feel this support, and receive this collective energy is what propels us forward in our mission to give Tallulah and kids like her the life they deserve,” Golden said.

Strive to thrive at school The early years of a child’s life are quite clearly mapped out, milestones are carefully documented.

However, as a child grows older these milestones change, become less defined and crucial points in time don’t always receive the recognition they deserve.

Good Shepherd principal Anthony Dyer explains, “The two-year Rite Journey, which commences in Year 9, honours the transition from young person to young adult and is a collective partnership between student, parent, Rite Journey teachers and the broader College community. It encourages students to strive to be thriving citizens, ready for their journey through life.”

Over 100 Year 9 students and their families attended the “Calling and Departure” ceremony. The Calling encourages students to show gratitude for their childhood and calls them on their journey to young adulthood while the Departure involves parents, carers and teachers joining the students for an opportunity to learn, reflect and look forward.

Program coordinator, Mrs Nicole Drew explains, ”The time and location for the ceremony is very intentional. Families and teachers gathered at 6.30am at the Noosa River Mouth as the start of a new day symbolises a turning point and the location, where the river and ocean meet, perfectly depicts the analogy of our young people growing and developing into young adults.

“Much like a creek develops into a river and meanders into the ocean, our students’ started life small, as young children and, over the years with the many and varied influences in their lives, they have grown, a bit like an ocean, into more independent young adults.”

Students shared prepared letters of gratitude and attributes of childhood they wish to leave behind as they transition into young adults.

Mrs Drew revealed that, “This is a very special moment for our Year 9 students and their parents. More than a few tears were shed at the sentiments of gratitude acknowledged in the letter from their child. It is touching to watch and even more special to experience.”

Parents, in return, shared memories and keep-sakes from their young person’s childhood before students were asked to ‘step into adulthood’ and join their Rite Journey teachers at the water’s edge for the final phase of the ceremony.

Mr Dyer, whose own family has enjoyed the Rite Journey program, understands the importance of helping these students progress to the next stage of young adulthood.

“It is wonderful to be a part of this moment, to watch the students, many who have been at Good Shepherd since Prep, transition, grow and develop into responsible, caring young adults. The proverb that it takes a village to raise a child was beautifully demonstrated throughout the ceremony. As a college we are honoured to facilitate and share our students’ journey.”

Tim Keller and Noosa Rotarians.

Visit for Rotary centenary The Rotary Club of Noosa was privileged to have District 9620 DG Tim Keeler pay them a visit while doing his rounds celebrating 100 years of Rotary in Queensland.

The centenary provides an opportunity for Rotarians to reflect upon their achievements since 1923, when the Rotary Club of Brisbane was chartered.

There have been many achievements over the 100 years. Here are just a few that Rotary has played a major part in.

Queensland Society for Crippled Children, now known as Montrose Access.

Pindari Homeless Women’s Hostel.

Raising more than $5 million for flood relief in Queensland during the floods of 1974, 2010, and 2022.

Queensland Drought Appeal.

Kids Safe.

Rotary Club of Noosa treasurer Tess Alexandroff said the list was far from comprehensive, but it gave an indication of the breadth and diversity of their club’s interest and attainments over that time.

“We should never forget that our District was the home of Sir Clem Renouf, and so, is the birth place of the eradication of polio,“ Tess said.

“It would be difficult to put an exact figure on the amount of funds raised for the community, or to calculate the many thousands of hours donated by Rotarians and volunteers to improve the lives of their fellow Queenslanders,“ Tess said.

DG Tim was the chair of Griffith University Development Advisory Group and an ambassador for the global charity, ShelterBox. He serves currently on the Domestic and Family Violence Response Committee in Logan and is a board member of the Alive Project, which is a preventative program to reduce youth suicide in the community.

Rotary Noosa donated $300 to the DG’s partner Gail for her chosen charity, Australia Rotary Health.

Jewel in Eliahi’s gift

By Abbey Cannan Long-term Noosa family business Priest Jewellery launched the fundraising lottery ticket sales for a very special cause on Monday 6 March.

There will only be 5000 tickets sold in the lottery to win a $35,000 piece of jewellery, custom-designed by owner Eliahi Priest in memory of his wife Kristy-Elle, who spent her last days at Katie Rose Cottage Hospice.

The bracelet, which will raise funds for the hospice, is a stunning combination of diamonds, pink tourmaline, rose quartz and amethyst nestled in 18-carat white gold.

At Noosa Civic Shopping Centre Mr Priest said, “I called it Kristy-Elle bracelet because my beautiful wife passed away from cancer last year after a courageous and powerful 12 month battle with that horrible disease.“ “I was her primary carer for that 12 months and at times it was full time. I’m proud to say in the 12 months of Kristy-Elle’s cancer she spent only a handful of nights in hospital.

“When we finally arrived at Katie Rose, we were lucky enough that Kristy-Elle was able to have a bed and I could just let go and be with my wife while Katie Rose took over.

“I have never witnessed or experienced care like the care that Katie Rose gave, in my entire life. In those moments, I made a resolution to myself that I’d step up and help Katie Rose, and will continue to for the rest of our time here in Noosa.

“We love Katie Rose and welcome the rest of the Noosa community to really comprehend and understand how important palliative care is in our community. All of us will one day pass through those gates.“ Katie Rose is primarily funded by the community, as only 20 per cent of the nursing costs are covered by the Queensland Government.

Katie Rose spokesperson Leigh McCready said they were grateful to the Priest family for the support.

“From the bottom of our hearts, this opportunity you have given us, it’s not just about

what you’ve given us in terms of financial support, but your ongoing support, love and care.“ Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart thanked Eliahi on behalf of the Noosa community.

“In those final moments, a lot of people say things and life goes on, but you made a commitment and you stuck to it for Kristy-Elle,“ Clare said.

“This is really changing lives for people who are going through the toughest part of their life with loved ones.

“As a community, we are so fortunate to have Katie Rose. It is just remarkable the work that they do and we are so proud of the organisation and the local businesses like Priest who get behind charities.“ Ticket buyers will be able to view the bracelet at Priest Jewellers from 6 March until 8 June. The winner will be drawn on 10 June at the annual Katie Rose Cottage Forget-menot Gala.

The bracelet is a stunning combination of diamonds, pink tourmaline, rose quartz and amethyst nestled in 18-carat white gold.

Noosa Chamber of Commerce launches new website Noosa Chamber’s new technologically smart website was launched at last Friday morning’s Coffee Catch Up attended by almost 50 members and guests at Cafe Le Monde.

Helping build connections is part of Chamber’s offering to members. Lots of ideas were exchanged at the Catch Up and new connections made over coffee and pastries, thanks go to HRM Contracting and Consulting who sponsored the event.

Chamber vice president Emma Hull spoke about the new website which has enhancements that make it easier for everyone to en-

gage with the chamber.

The website has been completely revamped with a new look, useful information, links, and an enhanced member directory to continue giving member businesses visibility. The site also contains updates of chamber news, events, and advocacy.

An exciting new feature is that members can now login to manage their business and member details and update their logo, website and social media links which appear in the website’s member directory. There is an integrated system for event ticketing, in-

voicing, membership, renewals, surveys and member communications.

Chamber representatives meet every six weeks with Mayor Clare Stewart and the Council chief executive officer, and also attend the council business roundtable, to discuss potential synergies and local business issues. In collaboration with Noosa Council, the chamber is seeking a state government grant for an adopt a worker program to address the lack of affordable housing faced by employers and their workers.

A Queensland Chamber of Commerce (CCIQ) grant is being sought to run a Busi-

ness Wellness seminar for members. And to provide a streamlined service, Chamber has engaged the services of Scott Harrison Media to assist with implementing a full calendar of member events and Karen McIntosh to handle membership matters and member enquiries.

Businesses and individuals are invited to join Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry to participate in the benefits of being a member.

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

10 years after the victory Noosa Today asked some of the leading players in the de-amalgamation drama to reflect on the fight.

GLEN ELMES With regard to the victory night I was outside the council chambers with Bob Ansett, Noel Playford and several hundred supporters. In terms of enthusiasm, it was a bit like being at a Donald Trump rally. After that I went down to Main Beach and addressed the people down there, the whole experience particularly after all the years of campaigning, was extraordinary.

BOB ANSETT Looking back at some of the messages stemming from that memorable evening of 9 March 2013, I vividly remember standing on the back of a ute, parked outside Noosa Council chambers, proclaiming to a crowd of several hundred people, ‘This day should go down in history and be celebrated annually, just like the Americans’ Independence Day on 4 July.’

While this may have been a minor exaggeration it was supported for the first few years with recognition in the media and some local celebration. This being the 10th anniversary, it clearly deserves recognition and, dare I say it, one helluva celebration. So let’s enjoy and remember how fortunate we now are.

NOEL PLAYFORD There was a huge buzz in the crowd at the entrance to the council building that evening.

Everyone knew the yes vote was in the bag, but we wanted a big win to validate the huge two-year effort. First came absolute elation at the numbers, total vindication in the face of all the opposition from outside Noosa during the Free Noosa campaign. It was only after the night that I faced the fact that the task wasn’t over. The big job now was creating the new Noosa Council from scratch to get even the essentials operational by start date of New Year’s Day 2014.

TONY WELLINGTON The 9 March victory tasted sweeter than As-

The core Free Noosa team on the road to victory. partame. It was Noosa’s ticket out of circumstances that were already eroding its special qualities. At the time of the referendum, the Sunshine Coast Council was busy writing a new planning scheme for the whole of the region, which would have left Noosa’s own planning scheme on the scrap heap. At the bigger picture level, 9 March was a massive win for democracy.

DREW PEARSON Yes, everyone was so excited and happy on the 9 March 2013, but the overwhelming emotion was one of relief, and a sense of justice that we had regained our independence.

Picture: TONY WELLINGTON JOHANNE WRIGHT Over the three years that NIA operated, some 21 individuals devoted hours of their time to the cause, providing legal advice as well as lobbying, marketing, community engagement, fundraising, and co-ordinating volunteers.

Thank you one and all, and so sorry in this limited space that you cannot all be named, but you know who you are. I will never forget the hundreds of individual donors and volunteers who helped deliver the fantastic outcome. So here is a shout out to each and every one of you!

MICHAEL GLOSTER Ten years on, I fear the current Noosa Council is sleepwalking Noosa into the next Sunshine Coast-Noosa Council amalgamation, based on Noosa Council hubris that it is so special it will not be forcibly amalgamated again, and a Noosa community finding it increasingly difficult to see any real difference between the way both Sunshine Coast Council and Noosa Council put residents’ interests last.

De-amalgamation was won Phil Jarratt concludes his account of Noosa’s ‘war of independence’ The battle for de-amalgamation was waged on three fronts — political, legal and public opinion.

On the political front, Bob Ansett wrote to Prime Minister John Howard requesting the Commonwealth’s support in calling for a new plebiscite in Noosa. With some prodding from the highly respected Warren Truss, federal MP for Wide Bay (which includes Noosa), Howard agreed to fund the plebiscite, and also hold a Senate hearing in Noosa on the forced amalgamations.

Howard was in a tailspin of public opinion ratings, and Queensland was critical to his chances of re-election at the forthcoming federal poll.

The FON’s controversial “Save Noosa Dump Labor” billboard campaign had not gone unnoticed.

Some of the Friends thought this blatant support of the Liberal National Party (LNP) at both state and federal level, was putting the fight too much into the political arena, but it achieved the desired results.

The Howard-funded plebiscite produced a 96 per cent vote in favour of remaining Noosa Shire.

The one-day Senate hearing in Noosaville produced no direct result, but, said Jim Berardo: “I believe it planted a seed with the LNP that would continue to grow.”

And the federal plebiscite result certainly seemed to fire a rocket into the Beattie camp.

Ansett said: “Now Beattie was in a bit of trouble so he came to us and said he’d introduce an iconic places legislation that would protect us from things like high-rise. And he did, but then Anna Bligh took over.”

With the amalgamation set to take effect in March 2008, and new Premier Bligh proving even harder to deal with than Beattie had been, FON looked to its legal options, but in March 2008, the Queensland Government held local elections across the state for the newly amalgamated councils.

Noosa Shire ceased to exist, although the Noosa influence was still felt within the new Sunshine Coast Council, with Bob Abbot winning the mayoral race at a canter and former Noosa councillors Russell Green and Lew Brennan also elected.

Inevitably, with amalgamation a done deal, there was a falling away of membership of FON, some believing that de-amalgamation — a rarity in Australian politics — was just a pipedream, others disheartened by the strongly partisan LNP line that many of the front-liners were taking.

But at FON, the war continued.

FON board member Drew Pearson recalls: “Between 2008 and 2010, I think the feeling was that if either Bob or Jim had lost their enthusiasm, it was game over. The campaign would have died in the arse.”

By 2010, the supporters of de-amalgamation had regrouped and, putting political views and personal grievances aside, the major players, persuaded by Michael Gloster, were able to

Fundraising merchandise for Free Noosa. forge an alliance between the NPA, the Noosa Biosphere Association, the Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale Residents Group and, most critically, FON. Former Noosa mayor, author and historian Tony Wellington wrote: “Having previously engaged closely with both NPA and Friends of Noosa, [I] made the initial appeals … At first the suggestion was viewed with suspicion: the NPA and FON were not natural allies.”

But after further entreaties from Noel Playford, the “muscular collusion of the two largest community organisations”, as Wellington described it, was sealed, and in March 2011, the Noosa Independence Alliance launched its Free Noosa campaign, with every star in the de-amalgamation firmament united behind the orange banners.

The two strongest figures in the de-amalgamation movement — Bob Ansett and Noel Playford — were at last publicly united with an agenda to regain independence.

From the early days of amalgamation, NPA members had used their political networks to initiate quiet approaches to senior Labor figures about the prospects of the Labor government, now led by Anna Bligh, being sympathetic to a comprehensive case for de-amalgamation.

But, says one source, “Like Thatcher, they were not for turning. We started to realise that our only hope was to get an undertaking from the LNP opposition leader to allow us a vote if they defeated the Bligh government at the election in 2012.”

The circuit-breaker in securing the LNP’s public support for a de-amalgamation referendum came just weeks after the launch of the

Picture: TONY WELLINGTON Free Noosa campaign. The LNP, fed up with more than a decade of mundane leadership, parachuted the popular Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman into the top job, despite the fact that he did not have a seat in the parliament.

Acting on behalf of the Noosa Independence Alliance, Ansett and Elmes were able to get Newman to Noosa for a meeting in early August at which he agreed to support a deamalgamation referendum.

On 24 March 2012, the Newman-led LNP won 78 seats to Labor’s seven in an historic landslide victory that gave Premier Newman a powerful mandate to carry out his many election promises, including beginning reviewing the disputes over amalgamated councils.

After a six-month review — and the digestion of a massive 140-page report outlining Noosa’s case — the Newman government announced in December 2012 that Noosa and three other former councils would determine their futures by a referendum on 9 March 2013.

The referendum campaign was long and bitter for those who opposed Noosa’s independence, because it was a foregone conclusion, and there’s nothing quite so vicious as a couple of wounded warriors.

On the day, the yes vote was 81 per cent, with a record low in informal votes.

As Tony Wellington noted: “This was a community that was decisively engaged in the decision and apathy was at an all-time low.”

Noosa had its independence back. Finally, it was time to celebrate.

But the process of “de-scrambling the egg” was slow and laborious.

On 9 November 2013, a new Noosa Shire

9 March celebration makes the headlines.

Council was elected, with the experienced Noel Playford as mayor and the equally experienced Bob Abbot as his deputy. Future mayor Tony Wellington was one of six councillors.

They had the job ahead of them.

Bob Ansett and Jim Berardo had long since moved off centre-stage and returned to their normal Noosa lives.

People still debate about who did what and how effective it was over those troubled but ultimately victorious times, when the unique qualities of this place came to the fore. And for every name in lights, there had been 100 anonymous volunteers behind them, putting in the hard yards.

Ten years ago on de-amalgamation night, Saturday 9 March, 2013, I watched the victory celebration outside Noosa Council Chambers at Tewantin.

Les Miserables starring Hugh Jackman was the movie of the moment and I couldn’t help thinking of one of its hit songs, Do You Hear the People Sing?.

Noosa’s freedom fighters were chanting and cheering as the triumphant results from the polling booths were announced from the back of a truck by Noel Playford, of Noosa Independence Alliance.

I was covering it for Noosa Today and I remember reporting: “It was a heady, historic moment and the stuff dreams are made of for Noel, Bob Ansett and their fiercely enthusiastic volunteers.” Former Noosa MP and strong supporter Glen Elmes was also on the truck and it didn’t take too much imagination to picture Glen (looking nothing like Anne Hathaway) reprising her song and leading Bob, Noel and the 400 or so emotional people there in I Dreamed a Dream.

For Les Noosarables, it was the end to the aggravation of amalgamation in March 2008 and years of hard, frustrating work. Bob Ansett of Friends of Noosa perhaps summed it up for the crowd when he said: “If you ever wanted an example of the impact of what people power can do, then look at what has been achieved on this historic day. What the rest of the world has done in relation to people power pales into insignificance compared to us.

“The ninth of March is our Independence Day and it should be celebrated every year.

Over the last few years I believe I’ve noticed a waning of the community spirit that made Noosa so special but I’ve got to say that from what I saw at the polling booths the spirit is back. It was like show day out there.

flagpole, “That’s where it used to be and that’s where it will be next year.

He indicated the flower on the flag.

“This is the Boronia shrub which was thought to be extinct. Arthur Harrold (Noosa conservationist) discovered it in Cooloola National Park in 1971. It’s meant to symbolise the spirit of the Noosa community.

“They tried to extinguish that spirit five years ago and they didn’t. Today is proof of that. We’ve earned the right to have it flying on that flagpole.” Glen Elmes praised Bob, Noel and all the volunteers for their work.

“They have been just fantastic in making sure the community spirit was alive in this particular part of the world. Just look at the faces of the people here. This is certainly the case.

“We’ve won the right overwhelmingly to get our community back and that is something we can be very proud of today.”

Later in the evening – at just one of the parties all over Noosa--the volunteers were thanked for their efforts at a private celebration at the Dolphins rugby club at Sunshine Beach.

Former Sunshine Coast councillor, Vivien Griffin was there and she told me, “This is a big day, a once in a lifetime day, absolutely wonderful. I started in Noosa Council in 1994, serving with Noel Playford and Bob Abbot and when it was amalgamated I served for a term just to give Bob and Russell Green support and to protect everything in Noosa. I retired last year.”

What did she think of the result?

“Just have a look around. We’re all feeling quite elated. In fact, I think the whole of Noosa is. They took our council away from us and now we’re getting it back.

“I just have enormous respect for Bob Ansett, Jim Berardo and the Friends of Noosa who kept the faith right from when the amalgamation occurred. There are lots of remarkable people involved in this but the standout is Noel Playford.”

And so ended a most soul-stirring day.

Help pets help the elderly

By Margie Maccoll The benefits of pet ownership are well documented but as many pet owners grow older or move into aged care accommodation, they are forced to say farewell to their much-loved companions.

Companion Animal Network (CAN) Australia wants the federal government to include pet support in its home care packages and is encouraging more residential care providers to welcome pets with their owners.

CAN chief executive officer Trish Ennis said less than 10 per cent of in-home care providers offered a pet-friendly service but sometimes support required was minimal such as occasional dog walking, grooming or taking them to the vet and pet owners may choose that care option over others available to them.

As Australia’s in-home aged care system is under Federal Government review CAN invites the public to complete a pet friendly aged care survey to garner support to preserve the bond between people and their beloved pets by keeping them together and providing the best health outcome for the animal and their owner.

“Many studies show caring for a pet can help to ease loneliness, relieve stress, anxiety and depression and provide unconditional love,“ Ms Ennis said.

“Sadly, many elderly pet owners who depend on in-home assisted living and the daily companionship of their animals, lack the government support they desperately need.

“Government funding to assist pet ownership for the elderly is absent.“ A Federal Government Service List Advisory Body will be considering pet care assistance/ pet support as part of the new federally funded In-Home Aged Care Program due to come into effect in July 2024.

The decision on this will likely be made by around mid-2023 and will be critically important for thousands of frail-aged people dependent on care at home and who rely on and benefit from daily pet companionship.

The results of CAN’s Pet Friendly Aged Care Survey aim to provide Federal Government decision-makers with valuable information about what older pet owners need and want in the new national In-Home Aged Care Program.

“Our aim is to support the elderly and their pets by talking to government about including pet support options in the Home Care Packages to prevent animals from being euthanised or surrendered to shelters and maximise the physical and emotional health of our pet-loving elderly,“ Ms Ennis said.

Older people moving into aged-care accommodation give up almost everything, taking only the necessities they need to move into

As they grieve deeply for their beloved pet left behind, the outcomes vary for the animals involved. Some pets are re-homed, others are surrendered to a shelter and some even euthanised, Ms Ennis said.

At least one residential care provider in Victoria, Lifeview, is proving pets can accompany their owners and is helping aged care residents live more active and vibrant lives with their beloved companion animals at their side.

“Pets are family, and many older people see their pet as a vital part of their life,” Lifeview CEO Samantha Jewell said. “Moving into aged care is a big enough change already without losing their beloved pet. Many aged care homes do not allow pets. At Lifeview, we believe in keeping people and their pets together.”

Ms Jewell said the facility had policies in place that required residents or a family member be able to look after their pet to a certain

degree, such as feeding, changing their water, cleaning their cat’s litter tray and taking their dog for a walk. Pets remain in a resident’s room, taken out only on a leash, allaying fears other residents would trip over them. It also requires a family member be able to take the animal home when the resident can no longer care for them.

She said having their pets with them helped residents maintain their independence, kept them more agile and they deteriorated less quickly.

Lifeview also has visiting therapy pets and staff often bring in their pets as well, such as Shadow who comes in every day with residential manager Jess Lammeretz and is a big part of the home.

“Pets bring a lot of joy and more positivity to their owners as well as to the residents around them. They help residents socialise and settle in, easing their move into the home and making new friends. Pets also assist with reminiscence therapy, as residents recall the animals they had when they were a child and share sto-

CAN is working closely with Lifeview to help other residential care facilities adopt this positive pet-friendly change to enhance the lives of the residents and their beloved pets.

People are putting their lives on the line when they refuse to move into aged care because they can’t bring their pet with them.

“If people were allowed to keep their pets, aged care take-up by elderly people will increase and the number of pets being surrendered to animal shelters will decrease. Now is the time to understand the value of pets and develop policies that recognise their role.”

Australia CAN offers free resources, including pet-related policies, guidelines and documents, for aged care providers, support agencies and organisations to manage and care for pets in aged care settings.

Coolum woman wins AgriFutures Rural Women Award Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Minister and Rural Communities Minister Mark Furner has congratulated innovative dog food entrepreneur Emma Gibbons for receiving the 2023 Queensland AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award.

Ms Gibbons was recognised at a ceremony in Brisbane last week for her work building a successful Queensland business with the help of sustainable agriculture.

Her Coolum Beach-based business Huds and Toke sells dog food and treats made with Australian-farmed insect protein and vegetable surplus.

The alternative ingredients mean both a lower carbon footprint and a reduction in waste.

Ms Gibbons has won a $15,000 Westpac grant and will represent Queensland as a national finalist in September, where she has the chance to win an additional $20,000 Westpac grant.

Ms Gibbons was selected from a field of four finalists who epitomised the significant impact women have on rural industries, businesses, and communities.

All finalists join a 300-strong alumni that advocates for women in regional and rural Australia and provides a network to support their future endeavours.

University of Queensland Deputy Provost Professor Pauline Ford, Westpac northern Queensland general manager Maxine Austin, Queensland Governor Dr Jeannette Young, Emma-Louise Gibbons, Minister Mark Furner Mr Furner applauded Emma on her vision and entrepreneurial approach which he said perfectly illustrated the values of the AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award.

AgriFutures Australia managing director John Harvey said it was “exciting to see Emma already making such a positive influence in her industry and community”.

“The AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award provides these women a platform to build on their leadership skills to drive change in rural and regional Australia,” he said.

One EV charger for the Hof

By Phil Jarratt Noosa’s newest residential complex, Hof Noosaville, due to be completed next year and touted as “where Noosa comes home”, will offer little comfort for buyers wishing to charge their electric vehicles.

The 90 apartments spread over three buildings just a screen of trees away from Noosa Civic shopping centre and the new Noosa Shire business centre will have 125 underground car parks but no EV charging stations adjacent to them or even standard power points for slow charging.

According to Maddy Stockwell, marketing manager for Stockwell Developments, there is to be one charging station on the property, situated within the visitor parking area.

Noosa businessman and future Hof resident Mark Dowling, who placed a deposit on an apartment last year, is not happy about the situation, telling Noosa Today: “With one charging facility for 125 vehicles, if we take turns, each resident can drive his or her EV once every three months.”

Of course not every resident is likely to own an EV in the foreseeable future, but in line with global trends, one-third or even half of them is likely to within the next decade.

Mr Dowling continued: “Every vehicle manufacturer has announced plans to phase out ICE-powered vehicles, and the federal and state governments already provide significant concessions to bolster the uptake of EVs. EVs are not a future trend, they are happening now.

“Given Noosa’s biosphere status, it is bizarre that new developments here continue to be approved that do not consider EV uptake. It is simple to do, yet makes our biosphere status somewhat questionable when EVs continue to be a non-option for new builds in the shire.”

Noosa Council approved the development application of Hof Noosaville with only one dissent last year.

Hof Noosaville artist’s impression.

That dissenter, Cr Tom Wegener, told Noosa Today: “I did not support the Hof and voted to refuse the development application. No solar panels. No composting. No water tanks. I argued this development does not belong in Noosa. I don’t believe council can retroactively add EV chargers to the approval, and these are not a part of the Stockwell ethos anyway.”

The Stockwell group would argue otherwise, with development general manager Georgina Madsen telling media last year that Hof would increase the diversity in housing choices in the area. She said the Hof buildings were designed to complement the company’s other upcoming residential developments in the area and Noosaville’s landscape.

“The site sits near natural vegetation which has been preserved as part of the development

Picture: STOCKWELL DEVELOPMENTS which is all about the connectivity and relationship with the natural environment,” Ms Madsen said.

“The three boutique buildings were designed to be in line with Noosa’s style.”

While Stockwell Developments may have decided that Noosa style doesn’t need an electric future, there is still the possibility that resident owners could apply pressure for a change.

Following a request from Mr Dowling, Cr Amelia Lorentson pursued the issue with council’s acting planning co-ordinator Nadine Gordon, who wrote to Mr Dowling: “Under the Planning Act, a development permit issued for a particular development authorises the carrying out of that development… Once a development permit has been issued by Council, the decision notice and conditions attached to it

The Hof site. are not able to be changed by Council. Therefore, Council is unable to change the planning approval to cater for EV charging bays…

“Any application to change the approval must be accompanied by the owners’ consent to the application. If the area affected by the change is located in common property then body corporate consent would be required.”

So getting an owner-backed retrofitting of EV chargers for all is theoretically possible and may be made easier when new state legislation is drafted in May. As Ms Gordon advised: “The draft National Construction Codes 2022 does include provisions relating to the provision of electrical distribution boards dedicated to vehicle charging.”

Always curious and imminently knowledgeable, award-winning British historian and author Bettany Hughes (pictured) exudes a passion that still shines bright, even after decades of intrepid exploration. In this new two-part special, the diverse culture of the under-the-radar Adriatic country Albania is laid bare. Featuring fortress towns and breathtaking sea views, Hughes begins exploring the Albanian Riviera and the country’s first World Heritage site, the ancient city of Butrint; before venturing to the remote communities in the Albanian Alps.

Based on H.E. Bates’s 1958 novel The Darling Buds of May, this cosy series set in a quaint Kent village is the perfect way to ease into a relaxing Saturday evening. Season two sees much-loved Ma and Pop Larkin (Joanna Scanlan and Bradley Walsh) at war with their posh new neighbours Pinkie and Cuthbert Jerebohm (Morgana Robinson and Julian Rhind Tutt, both pictured).

Meanwhile, there’s a new romance on the horizon for Primrose (Lydia Page). Fans of the show will notice the Larkins’ eldest daughter Mariette looks very different this season – newcomer Joelle Rae has replaced Sabrina Bartlett in the role after the Bridgerton star abruptly left the series.

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

The truth about Council A year from now Noosa residents will elect a new council and seemingly unfortunate politicking has already begun.

In a letter to this newspaper last week (Loved to Death, Noosa Today, 3 March), numerous false and malicious allegations were made. Such denunciations and falsehoods disappoint me. They are ugly and unproductive.

I know it is possible to have respectful elections because that’s how I ran my campaign when I was elected mayor in 2020.

The letter was written by Susie Osmaston, who it turns out was once an employee of a former mayor and who for some years was a local newspaper columnist designated Noosa’s Queen of Gossip. Her letter misinformed readers about the council and about our work. So, I need to set the record straight on a few things.

As mayor, I am committed to leading a council that takes seriously its role of supporting residents, community groups and businesses while managing the impacts of tourism, building the local economy, and protecting the natural environment.

Perhaps Susie Osmaston’s most unwarranted accusation was that my mayorship to date has been “three years of … residents-bedamned”. The truth is that the council is resident-focused, both in my own and that of other councillor’s practices (such as meeting with residents every day) and in the many council policies designed to build a better community.

On my watch, this council is undertaking its largest ever capital works program and energetically making up for the lack of historical investment in this area. Council delivered $35 million in works last year and has already hit $28 million in works so far this year, with more projects earmarked for the remaining four months. We have upgraded 600 metres of new pathways to date with a total of 2.5 kilometres

of new and upgraded pathways under construction as part of the Walking and Cycling Strategy.

Of particular importance to me was the failure of previous councils to address the scarcity of affordable housing. This has become a critical problem given the recent near doubling of property prices in many parts of the shire.

Under my leadership the council is adopting a progressive plan to implement solutions to ease the hardship faced by many residents.

Over the past couple of budgets, we distributed record amounts – around $1 million each year - to voluntary community groups that are such vital drivers of local charitable and improvement initiatives. I’m honoured to be patron of YouTurn and Womenkind, two charities supporting the most vulnerable women, children, and families in our community.

For some inexplicable reason, previous Noosa Councils had decided to turn their back on the South East Queensland Council of Mayors. I believe that collaboration with other councils is strength and as a result of our new involvement, the council is set to receive nearly $3.6 million for liveability projects in the shire. These closer ties with other councils have also strengthened our ability to better advocate for Noosa in federal and state government jurisdictions.

I found it strange that Susie Osmaston should accuse us of “three years of… probusiness”. Why should we apologise for caring about local business and local employment?

There are over 7000 mostly small and micro businesses owned by residents of the Shire and they are the lifeblood of this community.

I certainly did not want to continue the previous council’s anti-business reputation. I am pro-people, pro-community, pro-environment, and pro-business.

When the Covid pandemic began, we established a Business Roundtable with business and council representatives, a collaboration that continues.

The Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Hastings Street Association recently asked us to help start a pilot project to house workers priced out of the Noosa rental market. We’re supporting that to the hilt and have applied for a $200,000 State government grant.

In similar disapproving vein, Susie Osmaston accused us of “three years of … protourism”. Like previous councils, we face an increasing influx of visitors with resultant impacts on resident amenity, traffic congestion and parking. But our council is the first council to take responsibility for a destination management plan with the aim of sustainable tourism protecting residential amenity, the river, and the environment.

Again, Susie Osmaston accuses us of “three years of … pro-events”. That’s a silly statement because, since the Covid pandemic, which coincides with the life of our council, the number of events has obviously reduced. Our events policy also limits the number of major events allowed to take place in the shire.

The accusation by Susie Osmaston that the council had provided “three years of … anticonservationist” (sic) is false. The truth is that our council (as councils before) is committed totally to protecting and conserving the natural environment. We have more environmentally protected land now than ever and we continue to purchase land for conservation 40.8 per cent of shire land is secured compared with 34.75 per cent in 2018.

Our council is the first council to have formed the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Group which, in partnership with Maritime

Safety Queensland, is taking meaningful steps to clean up pollution in our river system and has advocated for the introduction of a 28-day anchoring limit.

We have an active bushfire management program with more controlled burns, greater trail maintenance and closer oversight of hazard reduction. We’re the first council in Queensland to trial advanced artificial technology for the early detection and location of fires.

Unfortunately, we’re still dealing with legacy issues from the decisions of previous councils, such as the Blue Care development’s displacement of Black Glossy Cockatoos and the continued operation of the Kin Kin Quarry. We’ve stood alongside the hinterland community in seeking to alleviate many problems associated with the quarry.

In my job as mayor, I always listen carefully to good faith criticism of my performance.

But ill-informed disparagement proffered in a political context is of no value. Since my election, I’ve continued to be fully committed to the people of Noosa Shire. I’m proud to be the mayor of a council that is active in protecting the environment, strengthening the well-being of the community, collaborating with small business, and achieving a tourism industry that is proportional and sustainable.

We are fortunate to live in a democracy and I would be the first to fight for protecting the right of all to speak.

But with that right there comes a responsibility to recognise that opinion is not fact, falsehood is not truth and good relationships are key to achieving successful outcomes.

I will always stand up to those who propagate inaccuracies which are unhelpful and divisive.

Women in construction are building a new future In recognition of International Women’s Day, a local female property developer Lorna Willis celebrates the growing number of women rising up through the construction industry on the Sunshine Coast.

Founder of WOW Group and WOW Property Women, Lorna Willis has reflected on her career journey and recognises and is thankful for the culture and attitude changes in the construction industry that has encouraged more women to seek out careers in this industry, be supported to grow their skills and have their talents embraced.

“Having pioneered in the building and construction industry for over 40 years, I have experienced a lot of changes, one of which is the number of not just young women but women of all ages who have made a choice to start a trade or profession in the industry,” she said.

“Most women are great multi-taskers and planners, and their skills bring a nice balance across the board.”

“It’s fantastic to see more and more female plumbers, carpenters, electricians, project managers, developers, construction managers and more on sites all across Australia,” Ms Willis continued.

Now in a position to lead major development projects, Lorna is not only demonstrating what’s possible for women in the industry, she is also mentoring and supporting others who want to enter construction, property development and investing through her group WOW Property Women.

“WOW Property Women was established to help women overcome their fears and build confidence, to empower and uplift with knowledge and share ‘real deal’ Experiences.

We wanted to enable women to buy property or building projects with a view to start their own portfolio and work to24 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 March, 2023

Ms Willis’ most recent project is the Buddina development Lowanna Beach Resort, valued at over $100 million that she is bringing to fruition with fierce determination, hard work and support from a large number of other women in property and construction.

“The idea for Lowanna Beach Resort started with three women who had a vision to create homes with great design, adding significance and elegance, and surrounded by beautiful beaches and the benefits of urban

amenities,” she said.

Now well into its construction phase, Lowanna Beach Resort, located in the coveted ‘golden triangle’ of the Sunshine Coast, is the region’s first beach resort in almost 15 years and will feature three residential towers, 5 commercial units and the first purpose-built laneway that connects foot traffic between the beach and urban centre - Sandy Toes Lane.

The Lowanna Beach Resort project is managed by One PM Group who have two dynamic and experienced females at the helm.

Project Manager Tamara Burow has worked in the construction industry for over five years and said it’s great to see roles for females expanding.

“We have three male directors who are incorporating more females into construction positions which is great. We have females in areas from accounts through to project management, we are encouraging more female directors and we want to bring another female graduate on board,” she said.

Ms Burow said it’s about equality, not just ticking boxes to meet quotas.

“We’re all working together to promote females in construction. Now that we have female developers leading the way, it’s an opening for all genders to grow together and combine our best qualities to create the best work.”

Ms Willis gave thanks to the women who have paved the way to make these opportunities available.

“Hats off to all the women that have gone before us and those who set new precedents in all areas of the industry. To the leaders who are now mentors adding value to the women coming up through the ranks.”

Better spot for speed sign What an excellent entrance onto and off Cooroy road the new Roundabout for Beckmans Road is.

My one criticism is after entering Beckmans Road heading South from Cooroy Road, the 80 km sign is just prior to Wentworth Street on the left.

Traffic exiting the street have to now contend with vehicles excelerating to 80 km. Also, those attempting to turn right into Wentworth Street coming from the South have the same problem.

If I recall correctly, the 80 km sign was situated past Wentworth Street before the roundabout was built.

A much safer position.

All fired up The cost of living pressures facing many Australian families today was brought home the other night when I answered the phone and got the preamble from a bloke selling tickets in the latest Rural Fire Service’s raffle: Great prize, thanks for my previous support, would I like to buy some tickets?

“Mate, I’ve just paid our health insurance at over $5.5 thousand and there are other expenses on the horizon, so sorry, I know you provide a valuable service, but I’ll have to decline.“ “No worries, I understand, and you don’t have to apologise.... many people don’t politely decline, they are very rude with their responses...“ Well, that made me wonder, if their homes were threatened again by bushfires, would they tell the firies to “ F--- off“?

I doubt it, but then why should such a valuable service have to virtually beg for support when governments at state and federal levels obviously waste our tax dollars on harebrained schemes and virtue signalling, vote chasing wish lists?

The news that day gave one perfect example - the Queensland Government’s Wellcamp Covid quarantine facility had just been mothballed. Total cost was at least $220 million, with very little use since it was built in an attempt to score political points over the thenFederal Government.

How much essential fire-fighting equipment, or social housing, or extra facilities for our over-loaded, under-staffed hospitals, could that have provided?

Meanwhile, federally, PM Albo and his side-

Harsh criticism I write in response to Susie Osmaston’s letter ‘loved to death’ (NT 3/3).

I find it most harsh for Susie to point her possibly politically tainted finger at the current Noosa Council. Blaming them for the fact that Noosa has be loved to death. Was it not the great work done by previous councils, Noosa Parks Assn and Tourism Noosa that has resulted in Noosa becoming the iconic and desirable

destination that it is today? Thank goodness the current council is well aware of the problems of being overloved and has implemented the biggest infrastructure and environmental spends in the history of the shire. Look before you leap, Susie Osmaston.

Allan Blackwell, Retired veteran and long time resident

Let the truth be told It never ceases to amaze me how, in our beautiful and seemingly sophisticated Noosa, there remain vociferous, disaffected people linked with two previous mayors, who constantly fill spaces with slurs and bitterness.

We see it again in Susie Osmaston’s vitriolic swipe (Noosa Today, 3/3) along with false accusations aimed at Noosa’s first woman mayor and our first council to have three women councillors.

And this in the Noosa Today issue dedicated to International Women’s Day. The last time Susie Osmaston was featured in Noosa Today was about three years ago in a biographical article titled Noosa’s Queen of

Gossip. The story disclosed that “Susie was in the thick of it, working […] for Mayor Noel Playford at Noosa Shire Council”. No surprise.

I have some experience of these attacks and slurs as the only woman on the 2016-2020 Council when I was on the receiving end of this angry and frankly offensive behaviour.

Many of these people also have Facebook pages and a website which appear intent on undermining Mayor Clare Stewart, the first mayor in a long time whose policies are achieving a sound balance between the environment and the economic and amenity needs of residents.

It’s exactly a year before the next local government election and the only thing that seems certain is that these unpleasant people will persist with their spiteful attacks and falsehoods.

I believe the people of Noosa who elected Clare Stewart and previously elected me are fed up with discord and can recognise propaganda when they see it.

Ingrid Jackson, Former Noosa Councillor

Shoreline is the frontline The Eastern Beaches are held dear to all local residents and the many visitors who enjoy our stunning coastline.

These shores are painted with many and varied memories of days spent building sandcastles, long walks breathing in the salty sea spray, refreshing dips to wash away a day at work or to wake you up in the morning as well as moments of contemplation taking in the breathtaking views.

Given how much these landscapes mean to the community, it’s no surprise Noosa Council is likely to receive a plethora of feedback on their draft Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan.

While the proposed plan has many areas that deserve attention, we believe there are three critical areas that sit at the top of the priority list. Prompt action on these items will ensure the plan is finalised in a way that effectively guides how these lands are sustainably maintained so future generations to enjoy.

All fires start with just a spark.

Many of us will never forget the devastating Peregian Beach fires of September 2019.

If not for the amazing efforts of our local fire services the result would have been devastating for our community. Fire is a naturally occurring event in the Australian landscape and, 26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 March, 2023

Burgess Creek at Sunrise Beach as climate change creates more severe and extreme whether events, we will inevitably face the ongoing threat of bushfires. Noosa Council’s draft plan recognises the bushfire threat, yet there are no actions within it that would prevent or minimise the effect and likelihood of a bushfire.

To get this right we need to consult with the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service and other experts to determine suitable fire prevention activities such as developing firefighting access trails and fuel reduction zones.

If we really want these foreshores to be resistant to the impacts of climate change, we need to be bushfire ready with a robust fire maintenance strategy along the Eastern Beaches to protect the communities beyond them.

Setting a benchmark for strong dunes.

We are encouraged to see budget for bush regeneration and the prevention of invasive species throughout the plan. We are in favour of and are supportive of programs that eradicate weeds.

Research and evidence shows the dunes are in very good condition and are in-fact growing.

We are supportive therefore of the implementation of a science based monitoring program like an ecology census that tracks dune and beach health as a benchmark for future action and to ensure decisions are always based on science.

Shore up the coastal creeks to prevent erosion.The draft plan references a number of significant erosion concerns near the mouths of coastal creeks. It is not in dispute that the coastal creeks are the highest contributors to erosion yet they have not been included in the scope of this plan or prioritised and no funding has been allocated to address the risks they pose. The plan needs to be amended to incorporate proactive management strategies to repair and put in erosion prevention measures to reduce costs as well as environmental and social impacts.

Fix our stormwater systems to keep waterways and beaches clean.

The plan notes the water quality of Burgess

Creek has decreased and pollutants have increased. In 2021 Council stated that the scope of this plan would include ‘management of creeks and stormwater that flow in the ocean’ but despite this, tactics to improve our creek systems have been omitted, we believe they need to be our biggest priority.

A sensible plan that makes sense in context to the area it has been written to protect We are eternally grateful to call this tranquil part of the word home and we look forward to seeing future generations enjoy the same discoveries we have been lucky to experience.

With effective fire management, dune health monitoring programs and coastal creek management plans, we believe this will become a reality.

As the land managers of this precious area, we implore Noosa Council to listen to the community along with experts who are best placed to advise on the plan before reshaping it to focus on the priority issues to be addressed.

The Eastern Beaches Protection Association (EBPA) is made up of local residents and homeowners and was established to protect local beaches, dunes and community lifestyle and advocate on key issues facing the community.

Maxine and Colin Kiev have been reasonably successful business people and staunch community supporters.

Having established a manufacturing business in a small country town in Gippsland, Victoria they always believed in supporting their local community and were heavily involved in many community activites for more than 30 years.

When it came time for the pair to retire, Colin followed his passion for historic motor vehicles and added to his already eclectic collection, a few other vehicles. Knowing their daughter had settled with her husband in Noosa, the obvious decision was made to move closer to the youngest grandchildren.

They downsized the motor museum they had in Victoria but continue to offer it to car enthusiasts and other community groups for viewing at their Lake MacDonald property.

Always ready to support their local community, when approached by members of the Tewantin Noosa Branch of Red Cross to hold a charity fundraiser in the form of a Picnic Amongst the Cars, showing their historic vehicles and a display of other vehicles, they enthusiastically agreed.

The community is invited to join Red Cross for a picnic amongst a collection of antique and classic cars, while enjoying the sounds of Hot Peppers Jazz Band and with raffles and a silent auction, on Sunday 28 May at Lake Macdonald.

Tickets are available online at events.humanitix.com/picnic-amongst-the-cars

A classic from Colin’s collection.

All proceeds raised will go to the Queensland services of Red Cross that support our communities and those persons experiencing difficult life issues.

42 artists vying for inaugural equine exhibition prizes Forty-two local, Queensland and interstate artists have entered 76 art works for the inaugural Seeing the Soul: Hoofbeats Sanctuary Art Prize and Exhibition at Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre in April.

The exhibition major sponsor is Bendigo Community Bank, Cooroy, the People’s Choice prize is sponsored by Sunshine Coast awardwinning entrepreneur and speaker Natasha Coughlan, and the runners-up prize sponsors are HinterNoosa, Laguna Pest Control and Cooroy RSL and Citizens Clubs.

Prize winners will be announced at the exhibition opening on Friday 31 March and the exhibition continues until 30 April, during which all artworks will be for sale.

The diverse artworks depict horses at liberty, free from all forms of tack and saddlery across a wide range of media including painting, drawing, pastel, metal and found material sculpture, photography and digital.

Also on display will be a group of ceramic horse statues decorated by high-profile identities that will be sold by silent auction.

These include former cricket great Glenn McGrath, Australian music icon Russell Morris, local food identity Matt Golinski, leading multidisciplinary Indigenous artist Tony Albert, Creek to Coast host Scott Hillier and AFL legend Nicky Winmar.

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

“We are so grateful to the artists for their generosity and support for our work and their genuine love of horses,” she said.

Peregian artist Jeannette Smith said, “I felt vulnerable painting this horse. I’m not an equine artist, however, wanted to be a part of this exhibition as I love this Sanctuary and its purpose... a refuge for horses and therapy for humans a special space where only the soul can be seen.“ Victorian sculptor and digital artist Gordon Hayward’s said, “Beyond the aesthetics of my artworks, I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for horses and raise awareness for the important work being done by this charity. By supporting their efforts to protect and care for horses in need, we can ensure that these remarkable animals continue to grace our world with their presence and enrich our lives in countless ways. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to use my art to make a positive impact and contribute to this important cause.“

A program of workshops and Artist Talks will be offered during the exhibition.

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.

The Sanctuary is home to a herd of ten horses and ponies, most of which have experienced big life stressors in their lives.

Pacific Chamber Music plans music gems for Cooroy

By Jim Fagan Pacific Chamber Players have been presenting quality chamber music on the Sunshine Coast for the last 21 years and is calling its first programme for 2023 at Cooroy Memorial Hall Hidden Gems.

Performers include Deborah Cox (flute), Sue Hunkin (oboe), Christy Dykes (clarinet), Neil Heymink (bassoon), Carolyn Moore (horn), Anna Moores (violin), Andrew Paszkowski (viola), Franziska Frank (cello), Nik Davey (double bass) and Janet Brewer (piano).

“We have selected what we believe are the precious jewels of chamber music,” Janet said.

“The emerald is Louis Spohr’s Grand Nonetto op 31, a work for strings and wind, making use of each instrument’s particular idiosyncrasies to create a work of musical colour and originality.

“Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor KV 478 is the diamond and it is just delightful.

Thuille’s Sextet for Piano and Winds is the ruby, truly engaging.

“It consists of four movements, the first one opens with horn creating a sense of nobility, the second is sombre and dignified, the third a charming gavotte, the fourth full of spirit and lovely melodies.”

Janet said the music would be performed

The program was curated and choreographed for people living with arthritis.

Arthritis Queensland and Queensland Ballet is offering people living with arthritis a new way to reclaim strength.

It is free to register and runs until the end of November.

Ballet’s spin on arthritis Louise Phillimore of Noosaville has had arthritis in her lower back for eight years, and now she’s dancing her way through it.

Performing a pirouette, practising a plie or trying a tendu may not sound like traditional prescriptions for Queenslanders living with arthritis, but a new program is set to take a different approach for a spin.

An unlikely partnership between Arthritis Queensland and Queensland Ballet is offering people living with arthritis a new way to reclaim strength and ease pain through dance.

The collaboration, called Dance Moves, runs between February and November, and will see hundreds of people living with arthritis come together for free and learn from Queensland’s leading ballet artists via video call.

“After being diagnosed with arthritis, I cannot do any heavy lifting or long hilly walks that I used to love doing. I still walk but only short distances,” Louise said.

“I know that I have to keep my back supple and I have to exercise it. I have always loved ballet and ballet music (my daughter is a ballet teacher) so when I saw classes being advertised in conjunction with Queensland Ballet I thought it would be a great opportunity to take part.

“Exercise to music is just so much more enjoyable.”

Louise, who lived in South Africa and moved to Noosa 10 years ago after her husband passed away, was a cooking teacher before retiring.

“I found out about the Dance Moves through Arthritis Queensland. I have done

Louise Phillimore of Noosaville (right) has had arthritis in her lower back for eight years. a couple of their other online exercise classes. The first one was when I was in lock down in Perth in May 2020,” she said.

“I started the Dance Moves classes three weeks ago at the beginning of February 2023 and so far I have found that any movement that loosens up my back helps with the management of the pain.

“I have really enjoyed the whole programme. It certainly has made me much more aware of how difficult ballet is and how fit the dancers are. I’m learning and loving every second of it.

“It’s great that it’s online because they can’t see how bad I am.“ Arthritis Queensland health promotion manager Jessica Neri said the Dance Moves program was designed to help Queenslanders living with arthritis reduce pain while improving function, mood, and quality of life.

“Often people with arthritis worry that exercise will worsen their condition, but the latest research shows that gentle exercise – like a tailored ballet program – is one of the best things you can do,” Ms Neri said.

“By encouraging people to try ballet in a comfortable environment with trained instructors, we want to empower and challenge participants to explore what is possible for them.”

Ms Neri said many participants had limited activity when starting programs like Dance Moves but soon saw physical benefits.

“Recently one of our participants from our exercise program, Arthritis Moves, went on an overseas holiday and was amazed that she was able to climb up and down rocks and walk on unsteady surfaces. She noted if she hadn’t been participating in classes she would have been a spectator on her holiday instead of an adventurer,” Ms Neri said.

Queensland Ballet head of community engagement Lily Spencer said the program was curated and choreographed for people living with arthritis by Queensland Ballet’s education teaching artists.

“Dance Moves is a unique opportunity to exercise and work with experienced instructors from Queensland Ballet,” Ms Spencer said.

“We are the experts in the choreography space, but we collaborated with experts in arthritis to ensure we had a detailed understanding of the condition and could effectively tailor our choreography for the best possible health benefits.

“Regular participation in exercise and physical activity is one of the best non-medication

activities people can do. Ballet is especially helpful with mobility and balance.”

According to experts, participation in jointfriendly physical activities such as walking, riding a bike, swimming or dancing can improve arthritis pain, function, mood, and quality of life.

There are more than 100 types of arthritis, with specific symptoms varying depending on the type of arthritis. Most include joint pain and stiffness.

Arthritis Queensland General Manager Ultan O’Dwyer said Dance Moves was born out of another online program the organisation ran during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We had great success over the past few years with digital exercise programs carried out online,” Mr O’Dwyer said.

“In Queensland, we have large populations spread across the state, so an online program is a great way to reach those audiences and bring the community together.

“People living with arthritis face a lot of barriers when looking to take part in exercise, so it was important we found a partnership that ticks all the boxes and working with Queensland Ballet does just that.”

Registrations for Dance Moves classes opened to the public on 27 February and classes will commence on 20 March.

The program is free to register and runs until the end of November. To learn more or to register, visit the Arthritis Queensland website.

Dance Moves is proudly supported by the Queensland Government and Health and Wellbeing Queensland through ActiveKIT Round 2.

YoungSurf wetsuit launch combines Naomi’s passions

By Abbey Cannan During the Noosa Festival of Surfing, the eldest daughter of a multiple-time surfing world champion, Naomi Young has launched a wetsuit to prevent other surfer’s from ageing like her dad’s ’crocodile hands’.

She was born to the beach but has travelled the world as a first class international air-hostess, experiencing the value systems of many cultures, seeing first hand the true human cost of consumerism and capitalism.

Naomi’s ethical brand, YoungSurf is the culmination of research and design and years of thought.

“Our aim in our whole brand is to save human skin from melanoma and sun cancer, and fight the signs of ageing on the skin,“ she said.

“My best friend just had a melanoma cut out of the top of her wrist. My father’s a 1966 Australian multiple-time world champion, Nat Young.

“How I created the wetsuits was I looked at my dad’s hands a couple of years ago and I said ’I love you Dad, but you’ve got crocodile hands’. They are sun-damaged.

“The inspiration came from looking at our skin as surfers. I’m a surf coach so I’m always out there standing in this hot sun. I used to bite a hole in my wetsuit for my hands and when I tried to buy a wetsuit like it, there was none on the market. So I thought, I’m going to have to make it myself.“ The recently launched Terra Australis Spring Wetsuit design is centred around withstanding the impact of the elements on the wearer, fighting the signs of ageing by protecting many of the most vulnerable areas.

30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 March, 2023

The girls show off the Terra Australis Spring Wetsuit.

“The wetsuits are made in Burleigh Heads.

I really want to keep them all Australianmade,“ Naomi said.

“They’re going to be dropped three times a year with different patterns from around the world. There is nothing like it in the market in this fabric. We’re doing it out of recycled bottles and plastic. The wetsuits are for everybody. It’s non-binary.“ Managing to find time out from launching her new design, Naomi has been having fun at the 2023 Noosa Festival of Surfing.

“I entered last minute into the over 50s Womens and I was lucky enough to be gifted a surfboard for that heat by surfboard shaper Maurice Cole,“ she said.

“I came second in my heat, so now I’m

surfing in the final on Sunday 12 March.

“I’m a professional surf coach and I surf daily, but I’m not normally a competitive surfer, so it was a bit of a shock to the system.“ Naomi said International Women’s Day on 8 March was a time to celebrate inclusiveness.

“We are celebrating the rise of women’s surfing,“ she said.

“I grew up surfing with Layne Beachley. I competed with her for my whole scholastic surfing title. She always came first and I always came third or fourth, but we were always out there against the men together.

“Surfing to me is like ballet in the ocean. I just love watching female surfing. I just love embracing femininity, pose, style and grace.

I just love everything that women are doing

Nyjah Duazo, Sasha Jane Lowerson, Naomi Young (Founder), Juliana Scopel and Hannah Etchells. in surfing. It’s so progressive. We’ve got female surfboard shapers, designers. There’s so much growth.“ The girls just want to have fun, and that’s exactly what the YoungSurf team did at the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

“We came last in our team’s event but it’s not about where you come, it’s all about having fun,“ Naomi said.

“We were laughing because it was so windy and the boards were flying around.

Obviously Noosa is too hot really to be wearing a wetsuit at the moment but I was so honoured that the girls showcased them and surfed beautifully.“ For more information on the Terra Australis Spring Wetsuit visit youngsurf.com

Dane Wilson with daughter Rio and Bu

Top pup Poppy with Michelle and Luke.

SPORT

Zana with Kai who were there for their third year, “just for a bit of fun”.

Comp sets tails wagging

By Margie Maccoll Groodle Poppy spun circles of delight on her surfboard when she spotted the waves approaching, such was her excitement at riding her longboard with humans Michelle and Luke at the Vetshop Australia Surfing Dog Championship at Noosa last Saturday.

And she wasn’t the only hydro hound to delight the huge crowd that filled Main Beach and every other vantage point to watch the four-legged competitors cruise in or perform a few tricks along the way.

Brilliant sunshine and a nice little wave provided the perfect conditions for the extremely popular event at the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

The lineup included old favourites like rescue dog Spike and owner Robert Lorenzon who travelled for Melbourne for 15-year-old Spike’s final surfing comp alongside also retir-

ing three-time winner, 13-year-old Hugsley, surfing on the day with Paul Jones, last year’s winner, daughter Opal, and brother Huon.

There were some new pups on the block including Isaac, 15, with Bear and thrill-seeking Happy and owner Ranger who made their way from WA for the event.

Longboard champion Dane Wilson was shredding the waves with daughter Rio and Bu the Staffy and well-experienced Agnes Waters dog trainer Chris De-Aboitiz hit the waves with Rama.

“Forget WSL (world surfing league), this is DSL - dog surfing league,“ the announcer told the revved up crowd.

Top week of local sports At the recent Queensland senior Surf Life Saving titles held at Mooloolaba, despite having a small team in attendance, Sunshine Beach were able to come away with a top 10 finish in the overall points score.

According to a club spokesman, the entire team, “displayed tenacity and skills beyond their years, and this was over a three -day period and competing against the best in the state.” The performance of several young members, could bear watching in the upcoming Australian Titles and beyond.

Gemma Welch Smith performed well over the entire weekend. In the U19 Women’s she took bronze in both the surf race and the belt race, and a fifth in the women’s Ironwoman.

Another youngster to watch is Dylan Wilson.

Starting his career in the U17s, he came home with a sixth place in both the ironman and the surf race and rounded up his performance with a fourth place in the toughest swim of all, the belt race.

Remembering the old saying that good belt swimmers aren’t made, they’re born, will give people an indication as to the high regard in which the champions of this once traditionally swim, were held. With this event now being revived, let’s give both Gemma and Dylan a very big well done and lots of encouragement. For our young to be not only supporting this tradition, but also contesting it, is to be applauded.

Once again Sunshine has shown great team spirit by hitting the team events with all competitors stepping up to support one and other and finish as close to the front as possible. The U19 men’s won silver in the beach relay, U17 men’s bronze in the board relay: and a close fourth in both the ski relay and the board rescue.

When we consider that the Sunshine Beach team, which contests all events on both water and beach, and have a coaching panel of just two, Wes and Jade Berg (husband and wife) these results are to be applauded. And most important of all their beach patrolling on this open and sometimes very dangerous beach, is top class.

Their IRB rescue teams, the support arm for the beach patrols, are also observers for that long open stretch of Sunshine Beach. As such they can, and often are, called upon when lives are in danger in that isolated, unpatrolled and very dangerous Alexandria Bay. Their performance in this region, is once again of the highest standard.

Sunshine Beach all in all, a very wellrounded, proud, and traditional surf club.

For Noosa club their strong point were the Masters. With a team of 36 competing they came home with a tally of 16 gold,19 silver and 15 bronze. These results saw them finish third Overall in the state.

Seniors and juniors were up against stiff competition. Female open ski relay performed well as did the boaties with several crews making the finals.

ren Memorial Swim. Originally known as the Shirly Strachan, the event had for several years been organised by the husband-and-wife team of Bruce and Sandy Warren.

Then in 2016 following the sudden death of Bruce, his name as a sign of gratitude and respect, was added to the title of the event.

Apart from organising the swim, Bruce was also responsible for raising the standard of swimming throughout the club plus, the training of rookie members for the swim test of the bronze medallion examination. Bruce’s name was included, with the full support of the sponsor McDermott Aviation and all senior members of his club.

Happy to relate this, the 20th had the biggest entry ever, 99 swimmers: and many were from the nipper ranks. Also, Bruce’s good club mate Peter French, who swam on Sunday, has contested all swims, definitely a fitting tribute.

In what can only be described as good conditions this 1.2k swim, judged in two divisions male and female from Little Cove to Main Beach was won by Electra Outram (F) and Jayden Morrow (M). In second placing Lola Gibbs Beal (F) and Killan Carrel (M) and third Steph Jones (F)and Nolan Carrel (M).

For his outstanding support and completion of all 20 swims, Peter French won the Continuity Prize. Well done to all who have swam and worked to keep this Club Tradition alive. In particular that great lady and clubmate Sandy Warren, swim organiser.

Rugby League For the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club Sat-

With Pirates now being one united club, having moved the Juniors from Cooroy to Pirate Park it can only go from strength to strength: events such as this can only strengthen club spirit.

Out on the playing field, Pirates Division 1 travelled to Helensvale on the Gold Coast for their first trial hit out of the season. In his assessment of the day Head Coach Michael Duff summed it up well. ‘’While the final result didn’t go our way, I was extremely happy with the squad and the couple of Div. 2 and 19s who played, showed they are capable of stepping up. We showed really good signs in attack when hitting our points on the field, resulting in tries. Defence in the first half mid field was outstanding : with our fitness matching that of Helensvale.

However, with the oppositions being full of Queensland Cup experienced players, they were too strong in the second half winning the game 38 to 14.”

Amongst those who showed promise for the season ahead were: Dan Moveao team captain who led by example, Terry Carroll returning after a season off, Will Cousens hooker and Jett McCarthy playing at half, directing his team round the field.

“Interesting to watch will be Rugby union converts Rod Davis, Tyson Schief and Brandon Mayhew: all made some good touches during the game. And I am really looking forward to this Saturdays home game against South Toowoomba.” Kick off, is at 1.30pm U19s with the main game Div.1 at 6pm.

urday 4 March will certainly be a day to remember. It was on this occasion that the inaugural NRL Dolphins turned up at Pirates Park to conduct a skills season. Players from Pirates U13,Coolum Colts and Nambour Junior Rugby League Club joined in for a training session with the NRL Dolphins.

In what would have to be their best training session of their life the event consisted of four sessions: skills rotation, referees talk regarding rule changes, from the U12 and U13s. It finished off with the three clubs having some game time. ‘’We would like to say a special thank you to our outgoing resident Paul Dwyer and president Liam Anlezark for coordinating this special event. A huge thank you to Shane Morris - game development officer NRL Dolphins, Beau Condon - games fevelopment officer NRL and legendary player Sam Tagatese for facilitating the session,” said sponsorship, social media and functions coordinator DeborahJane Gillard.

“It has been great working with Shane Morris on this project. Thank you to everybody who came down to the club. Having the Dolphins, here at Pirate Park was a high privilege for the club and a great synergy for our junior development program. We wish them all the best for their inaugural season.” said club president Liam Anlezark in his vote of thanks.

Speaking on behalf of the club Ms Gillard expressed her gratitude when she said, ‘’Thanks also to all Coolum and Nambour players and families for coming to Pirate Park today. Also, a big thank you to all our volunteers who helped make this event such a success.”

Ready for Mooloolaba Tri Final preparations are underway for the this weekend’s Mooloolaba Triathlon, with two days of racing set to take place across the Sunshine Coast.

The ever popular event will welcome triathletes from across Australia and a number of other countries, with the weekend of racing providing plenty of opportunities for people to get involved in the sport.

More than 5000 athletes will take part in the Mooloolaba Triathlon, with first time triathletes, veterans of the sport and rising stars mixing together on course.

Geoff Meyer, managing director of Ocean for The IRONMAN Group, organisers of the Mooloolaba Triathlon, said the team was looking forward to welcoming triathletes and their supporters to the region for the weekend’s event.

“The Mooloolaba Triathlon has become one of the Sunshine Coast’s most popular events and we can’t wait to see more than 5,000 athletes out on course over two days of racing,” Meyer said.

“This is an event that welcomes athletes of all abilities and levels of experience with a great atmosphere across the weekend.

“For more than 30 years we’ve seen some incredible performances at the Mooloolaba Triathlon from those at the front of the race, as well as tens of thousands of athletes experiencing the sport for the first time, with the combination of the two part of the reason why it continues to be so popular,” he said.

Sunshine Coast Council Economy Portfolio Councillor Jason O’Pray said the annual event had provided significant economic and reputational benefits for the Sunshine Coast since it launched in 1993.

“As one of the largest triathlon events in Australia, it continues to position the Sunshine Coast as the home of triathlon,’’ Cr O’Pray said.

“Mooloolaba Beach is the perfect hub for the event, with a variety of cafes, restaurants, bars and accommodation.

Rugby legends Rod McCall, Michael O’Connor and Gavin Hastings prepare for 18 holes at Noosa Springs.

Sport unites

By Peter Owen Rugby royalty came to Noosa Springs last week when former British Lions captain Gavin Hastings caught up with old adversaries Rod McCall and Michael O’Connor for a friendly game of golf and a whole lot of reminiscing.

Hastings, a member of the World Rugby Hall of Fame and the most capped Scottish player of all time, is no stranger to Noosa Springs. He played here a decade ago when he was part of the British Lions squad that made Noosa its base during the team’s Australian campaign.

And he’s a lifelong mate of Donald McKill, a former Royal Marine who relocated from Scotland to Noosa in 2005 and became president of Noosa Rugby Union.

Noosa’s Michael O’Connor, the dual international who first crossed paths with Hastings when he toured the UK with the Wallabies in 1981, quickly assembled a band of golfers when he heard Hastings was on the Sunshine Coast and looking for a game at Noosa Springs.

The 13 of them included rugby players, fans of the game, expatriate Scots and a couple of Noosa Springs members.

Hastings, a fighting fit 61-year-old, is one of the legends of world rugby.

A brilliant fullback, he played 53 internationals for Scotland between 1986 and 1995, captained his country 20 times, scored 667 points, was a central figure in Scotland’s famous 1990 Five Nations Grand Slam win, and captained the British Lions on their 1993 tour of New Zealand.

He was in Australia as part of a spur-ofthe-moment visit in honour of a friend he

made 35 years ago.

“We were in a training camp in the US in 1988 when we met two Kiwi girls,” he said.

“One of them, Robyn Murray, became a lifelong friend and when I found out she was about to celebrate her 60th birthday, I thought it would be nice to fly over to Auckland and surprise her,” he said.

“I haven’t made a lot of money during my life, but I’ve made some great friends,” he said.

“Too many people are dying and life’s too precious not to do nice things when you can.”

During his trip he and his wife Diane, a long-term sufferer of Parkinson’s disease, visited Hong Kong, Auckland, Melbourne where his brother Graeme lives, and Queensland.

He says he’s been playing golf since he was six and loves the game. He’s a two-handicapper and a member of both Gullane and Muirfield clubs, where he often joins up with another Scottish rugby legend Andy Irvine in the members’ comp.

Hastings modestly says his golfing successes have been moderate, highlighted by losing the Gullane club championship on the 37th hole, and by last year winning a Gold Medal at Muirfield – an event held twice a year and awarded for the best gross score of the day.

Playing in his foursome at Noosa Springs was Rod McCall, 59, a towering former lock who played 40 games for Australia, 107 for the Queensland Reds and who went on to become chairman of the Reds.

While golf was the backdrop of the day, the talk rarely departed from rugby, and the legends were still swapping stories on the terrace long after the sky had darkened.

“The wider Sunshine Coast offers an attractive event destination with an enviable climate, natural attractions like the Glass House Mountains and a friendly, welcoming culture,” he said.

“We appreciate the event organiser’s efforts to work with our business community, our residents and all the local event volunteers who welcome these elite athletes to our region for the weekend.’’

Saturday will see the Sprint Triathlon take place, which offers a great opportunity for a mix of people to take part, whether they’re a beginner keen for their first triathlon, or an experienced athlete who wants to race against the clock. The Sprint Triathlon consists of a 750m swim, 20km ride and 5km run, finishing on the Mooloolaba Esplanade.

The Standard Triathlon will take place on Sunday 12 March, with triathletes taking on a 1.5km swim, 40km ride and 10km run.

Sunday’s event also includes a relay option for those entering as a team.

Thundering into the semis

By Randall Woodley After the last fixture matches of the season were completed last Saturday, the TewantinNoosa Thunder Cricket Club will have three senior teams playing in the competition’s semi-finals next weekend.

The three teams are last year’s premiers, the First Graders, Third Grade and the perennial finalists the Sixes. The Fifth Grade team missed out by only a few points to join their mates in these games.

FIRSTS: Playing Maroochydore Swans in the last scheduled match of the season there was not a lot to play for on Day 2. The boys had already secured first innings points on Day 1 dismissing the Swans for 103 and resumed batting at 4 for 128. Opener Lewis Waugh brought up his 50 on his birthday with the first run and then wickets began to tumble and the team was soon 7 for 131. The tailenders added a few runs, but the score ended on 171 with Waugh carrying his bat to be not out on 67. It was another display of patient and classy batting from Waugh on a pitch that pretty well everyone else struggled on.

Maroochydore batted again and were in trouble at 4 for 16 with young tear-away Tom Stewart taking 3-8 off his six overs. Soon after a couple of dropped catches which would have seen them 5-20, the skipper put the three frontline bowlers on ice for the semi-final next weekend. Maroochydore played some shots and batted well to get to 150 before the teams shook hands just before tea.

It was another really good regular season for the team finishing in third spot on the ladder and they will be playing Maroochydore again next Saturday and Sunday to decide who will go through to the grand final the following weekends. It is hoped that the boys will be supported next weekend by other club players and supporters. The match starts Saturday at 10am at Buderim.

SECONDS: In their final match this season, the team went down in a close game to Coolum who scored 170 in their first innings. Top wicket takers for Thunder were Ben Potter with four wickets and Tryon De Kauwe and T Crowley with two each. In reply Thunder were bowled out for 155.

THIRDS: Starting Day 2 on 1-52 chasing 128 for first innings points, Thunder was cruising at 1-88 with Brendan Wright (44) and Nigel Webster (50) looking good. Then, as often happens in cricket, the team found themselves at 4-89 and then 6-104. However, the Wilson family duo, father, Ben and son Ollie were both at the crease with Nambour bowling well and their tails up, keen to end Thunder’s season with an upset win. The two dug in and carefully guided the team to first innings points in a mature partnership that was great to watch.

Once the points were secured, more free flowing stroke play produced runs quickly, and the goal of 180 achieved.

The next goal was to take as many wickets as possible and seven were snagged before time ran out. All the bowlers performed well, and the fielding was far better than the previous week. Best bowling figures- Luke Anstey 2-13 and Ethan Slaney 3-14. It was great to see the team play in the manner they did with guys taking responsibility on their shoulders when the cards were not in their favour.

This win will see the team playing in the semi-finals next weekend, but their opponents and venue are still to be announced as of Monday morning.

FIFTHS: After being dismissed early on Day 2 for 251, the team had to dismiss Cooroy-Eumundi and win the match on the first innings to guarantee a finals berth. Cooroy started well but Farran Cooke and Ian Brundell dismissed both openers to see Cooroy 2-50. Then two of Cooroy’s batters then put on a very impressive 190 run partnership for most of the afternoon and evening. Everyone bowled really well but luck evaded the boys. The team never gave up and a further late two quick wickets in the end to Farran Cooke (4-40) saw Cooroy finish on 5-249 for a draw. Unfortunately the team missed out on being in the semi-finals with a very close result in another game not going Thunder’s way. Disappointed not to get through to the semis, but overall a pretty good season for a group of players who came together for the first time, with a first-time captain and four juniors playing their first full season of seniors, who were all nothing short of exceptional. A big thanks also to the more 38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 March, 2023

seasoned players in the side who were instrumental in guiding these young players in the right way.

SIXTHS: After scoring 211 on Day 1 the team were in the field last Saturday with Landsborough resuming on 0-5. The day started well with Justin Latimer bowling their opener with his first ball of the his day and with things going well for the team he picked up another two

wickets and Tom Avery snagged another two.

Having them 5 down for not many at drinks the teams confidence was high.

However, Landsborough settled for a period after drinks and made the team work hard for the win. Graham Chaplin picked us 2 wicket and Wayne Moore took one for himself to have them 8 down for about 100. Latimer and Avery cane back on and bowled well again with Lat-

imer picking up the final two wickets to finish Landsborough off and seal a good win going into the semis next week.

It was all over early, and the boys enjoyed an early finish to the final round game.

Latimer best of the bowlers with 5-24 with his first five-wicket haul of the season. The semi-final next weekend will be against the Caboolture Snakes at their ground.

Surf fest gets off to a flyer It might not have been First Point as we know and love it, but there were enough runners at Main Beach over the weekend to get the 32nd Noosa Festival of Surfing off to a rollicking start.

And by Sunday afternoon we were seeing about the best that TC Judy was going to muster, with waist to shoulder high sets providing just enough for the groms, the teams and the very welcome return of the Golden Breed Noserider after a long hiatus. Apart from the odd scudding shower early, the weekend was beautiful and the crowds came for the surfing dogs on Saturday and the surfing humans on Sunday.

My preference will always be for the humans, and some of the best in show included reigning world longboard champ Harrison Roach, noseriding grom star Ryder Worthington (whose flyweight agility enables him to hang off the tip in ways we haven’t seen since the glory days of Jai Lee and Christian Wach) and the ever-graceful Sierra Lerback and Mason Schremmer.

While the frenzied antics of the judges and Noosa Mal Club volunteers to master the admittedly complex mechanics of the noserider time trials brought a wry smile to an old festival director who has been there, done that, last weekend I also had pause for thought that we don’t do opening ceremonies the way we used to. It’s not for a former director to offer advice to the current, so I won’t, but the point I’m about to make was rammed home to me the evening following the paddle-out, when at an impromptu birthday celebration on the riverfront park for an esteemed surfer and citizen, I enjoyed the most amazing Korean pork and beef barbecue, cooked and served by members of the South Korean longboard contingent here for the festival.

Korea is a new frontier of the longboard sport and culture, but it found its home away from home early through the Noosa Festival.

And it was by no means the first group to do so.

We’ve entertained Filipinos, Tahitians, Indonesians, Taiwanese and Chinese and numerous Melanesian groups, as well as French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, and even a few Poms, not to mention the tried and true Kiwis, Californians and Hawaiians.

But not as much as they’ve entertained us.

Our celebration of these connections always used to be the traditional blessing of the waters, in which all the visitors from around the world of surfing could share water from their home beach and feel owned by our festival, after which we would paddle out and form a thanks-

giving circle for what we are privileged to share.

Now that the internationals, new and old are coming back, we need to celebrate the bonds that surfing creates. But we don’t do that anymore. Sure, we paddled out and gave thanks, and it was beautiful, as it always is.

But so many of our guests this week didn’t even know they could participate.

I think that’s something that needs some thought going forward. Just sayin’.

I’m a Nipper Now! Victorian surf coast pair Sally Cordner and Lucy Simms have joined forces to release their first children’s book, called I’m a Nipper Now! The book is inspired by a real-life group of six friends, who embark on their first day of Nippers.

Unsure, afraid and with many reservations the children witness a real lift surf rescue before their eyes – what an introduction to your first day at Nippers!

The children’s book, developed in partnership with Boolarong Press and Surf Life Saving Australia, aims to raise awareness of beach safety and boost interest in Nipper programs across the country.

Tragically, last year, a 12-month drowning toll of 339 deaths was recorded, the highest Australia had seen in 25 years. Water safety experts issued an urgent plea to make safety a focus of this 22/23 summer. Surf Life Saving Australia reported that 49 per cent of coastal drowning deaths occurred more than five kilometres from a surf lifesaving service.

According to Royal Life Saving Australia, as of 3 February 2023, 52 Australians had lost their lives this year by drowning. Almost 60 per cent of these were in coastal waterways. In the last financial year, Surf Life Saving Australia performed almost 9,000 rescues across Australia – an average of almost 25 rescues per day, every day.

Currently, there are 44,000 patrol members across Australia, and 62,000 Nippers. Nipper registrations and retention in Surf Life Saving is critical in keeping patrol numbers up and our beaches safe for generations to come… it is one of Australia’s largest community-based youth movements.

Alarmed by the water safety trends and with a history of community involvement in surf life saving, Sally and Lucy realised there was need for a strong message to reach young children about participation in surf life saving from a young age. This book, three years in the making, and based on real life characters, is a great way to present the message.

Available from all good book stores, including Annie’s.

All properties had significant views and post-auction negotiations are expected to conclude in sales for the other two.

Tom Offermann reported high-spirited bidding from four determined parties at the Lauren Chen and Luke Chen-listed 2/6 Angler Street, Noosa Heads, a sparkling new penthouse-style apartment overlooking the Noosa River, Laguna Bay and Lake Weyba.

With the over-sized terrace packed with about 80 people, bidding opened at $2m and somewhere near 15 bids later it sold for $3.46m amid a roar of applause.

“Our agents are now contacting other owners hoping to find suitable properties for the buyers who missed out.

“These are genuine cash buyers, with two of them ready to sign for the right property in the $2m to $3m range, and three of them seeking apartments in excess of $3m.“ Penthouse apartment 12 in Riviera at 144 Noosa Parade Noosa Heads, listed by agent Nic Hunter, a beautifully renovated three-bedroom residence with a rooftop terrace and 360-degree views, didn’t sell at the auction; however, it is now expected to sell to buyers who require finance approval.

“Auctions,“ continued Tom, “are exclusively for cash buyers, which rules out buyers who require conditions such as finance or building inspections.

There are four carpeted bedrooms - one is being used as an office/guest bedroom.

In the south wing the main bedroom has a garden outlook, walk-in robe plus shower and double vanity basins in the ensuite.

“You have Mount Cooroy as a backdrop, with the sun setting, or the sun coming up over Sunshine Beach,’’ Peter said.

In that time he has been in the top 6 nationally by sales for a renowned franchise, and earned five-star reviews.

Now he has joined with Pat Johnston of McGrath to create the new Coastal Noosa brand.

They have started with a strong marketing campaign for a former prize home at Sunrise Beach that will go to auction on Friday, 17 March, at 11am.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house on 607sq m at 16 Corsair Cres will be presented with prize-home furnishings.

Rick has been conducting Wednesday and Saturday open homes, and the response has been solid on all days - some are doing multiple inspections.

Of note are southern buyers who have moved to the area and been renting. Then there are locals looking to improve their position or increase their floor space but with some big views.

The location means they can walk to the beach, for a coffee, and the off-leash dog area.

“It’s a nice quiet pocket,’’ Rick said.

“People love the classic Hamptons-style design.

“It’s got the wow factor as soon as walk in. There is a striking palette of neutral tones.

“The big ticket item is the ocean views ... whether upstairs or downstairs.

“They stretch right to the horizon - from North Sunshine, white water in front of you, and and to the south past Mt Coolum.’’

On two levels, the house has useable lawn on two sides, together with a fire pit and the in-ground saltwater swimming pool.

The entrance level has soaring ceilings and multiple open-plan living and dining areas, adjoining a Hampton’s designer kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances.

The main bedroom suite comes with a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and a separate shower.

The lower level is magnificently appointed with three ultra-spacious bedrooms, and additional bathrooms inclusive of a completely-appointed, selfcontained suite.

Gordon Macdonald will be calling the auction.

It sold under the hammer for $940,000 to a phone bidder from PNG - investors who will enjoy their holidays there.

“There are many locals still very active in the market,’’ Melanie said, “while other interest came from New Zealand and the southern states.’’

ON THE COVER

NOOSA’S BEST KEPT SECRET NOSTALGIA often comes with a pair of rose-tinted glasses but not-so for a well-loved beauty from the 80s, on a wider-than-most, deep waterfrontage with a tidal beach on Hideaway Island, close to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, which oozes sophisticated personality and provenance.

Take the plunge. Bring a boat or two, big appetite and thirst, if you aspire to living life in the sub-tropics beyond all expectations, on a tranquil, deep sapphireblue and expansive reach of a pristine Noosa River waterway - a remarkable backdrop.

As the gates slide away, admire the lush streetscape and neighbouring contemporary residences including many razed and under construction, bearing the names of well-known architects and designers.

Engage with the exterior’s structural simplicity based on the era’s architectural form and admire how the continuity continues inside. In the carpeted openplan living room which is the length of the residence on the western side, and has double height-plus ceilings with Brushbox beams, a wood-burning fireplace takes centre-stage of the distinctive exposed clinker brick wall.

Adjacent to the living area, is the slatefloored dining space. Both being northwesterly facing are saturated with natural light and coalesce with the undercover entertaining terrace.

Outside pays homage to the location and environment with lawn stretching to the revetment wall. To the left is a boat ramp and the jetty is a favourite spot to cast a line for tailor and flathead, launch the canoe and stand-up paddle board, or up-anchor the boat and take it for more serious fishing in the open stretches of the Noosa River towards The Everglades or through the bar out to Sunshine Reef and reel in Red Emperor and Coral Trout.

It is obvious the prodigious rectangularshaped kitchen with sandy hued-topped timber cabinetry including a semi-island/ breakfast bar and long bench to ceiling windows, has all the latest high-end appliances desired by the consummate entertainer.

There are four bedrooms. Upstairs, the master with water views, has an adjoining bedroom. There are two walk-in robes and the contemporary ensuite with grey/white

marble-look tiles has a bathtub. Downstairs one bedroom, more a retreat is double sized and has two built-in robes, the other also has a built-in robe and both share a bathroom which is adjacent to the laundry.

“With so many naturally beautiful assets, waves peeling off the point at Noosa National Park, and autumn temperatures of 25-degrees,”enthuse Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and Jesse Stowers who have slated the property for auction on Saturday 25 March 2023, adding “plus the north-facing protected Noosa Main Beach, Quamby Place, Gympie Terrace and Hastings Street, and a plethora of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques all so close, the magnetism of the area is indisputable.

“That includes Hideaway Island. When you arrive for the first time at the location on the water’s edge, you instantly appreciate the name. It is precisely the natural beauty of the environs which will continue to underpin and grow property values.”

180 DEGREE BLUE OCEAN VIEW FROM the shores of Peregian’s northern sand dunes appears a timeless, Stephen Kidd designed solid home on the rise behind access 52. Just a short 3 min stroll up from the golden sand you’ll discover this home, ‘Pandanus Rise’, named after the original Pandanus beauties that dotted the rise, now also dotted with newly built Architectural beauties.

Set back, level with quiet Avocet Parade this duplex home is simply adorned by a statement pandanus tree, Alexander Palms and black solid timber doors. Inside…..a contemporary light filled interior with nature’s canvas of blue Pacific Ocean and leafy outlooks.

Its practicality, calmness and affinity for neutrals, underpin the chic aesthetic, bringing unity with the abundance of light emanating from wide terraces and high ceilings. Disappearing bi-folds wrap the deep blue ocean, and pale sandy-hued tiles in the generous living areas of both floors are drenched with sunshine.

This is truly a special place where you can imagine waking to waves breaking on shore, kids gathering boardies, bikinis, rashies, and towels, maybe surfboard to run out the back gate down to the glistening waters and beach out front. To return for a plunge in the pool and minutes ride to the village to enjoy one of its hip cafes.

Family entertaining is a breeze with internal living seamlessly extending to the sandstone terraces and yard. Taking centre stage is a turquoise pool in a garden oasis dotted with palms, agaves and dracaenas.

When lolling on sun lounges becomes too much, a black granite-topped bar in the living area, has the coolest libations with the South Pacific ocean views to complement - from every angle.

Two ground floor generous bedrooms with wall glass windows, and built in robes, open out to the east facing terrace and flat lawn. A hot/cold outdoor shower, bench seating and cubby house offer an ideal setting for afternoon sun baking and childs play. There is a bathroom, and laundry with large linen cabinets, generous clothes drying courtyard as well as, internal access to the shelved double garage.

Upstairs, a terrace with ocean views stretching north, east and south to Mt Coolum and Mooloolaba’s lighthouse, is perfect for whale and surf watch.

Entertaining, whatever the reason or the season with a glamorous kitchen featuring bright white, black granite-topped cabinetry and all the latest appliances to create a casual holiday vibe or a romantic dinner by the oceans’ moon .

Stunning water views are enjoyed from

the king master suite that sits perfectly off this terrace and main living. Walk-in mirrored robes lead to a private ensuite featuring black granite tops with double basins. Added to this is an open roof section of the terrace, designed for star gazing. Seems the ideal spot for a night cap before dream time!

An ideal lifestyle for permanent or casual living this home offers a great design, taking advantage of its ocean/ beach vista, aspect and quiet location.

WHISPER QUIET WATERSIDE LIVING JUST steps to the water’s edge in seemingly its own secluded paradise shrouded by palms, a classy townhome with a pathway to the Noosa River foreshore and Gympie Terrace, offers an exceptional lifestyle for the unretiring as well as the sage investor.

Fusing coastal style and a fresh creamy palette with casual flair, becomes obvious from the moment the door opens into the hallway. Natural light drenches the sandyhued tiles which stretch the width of the townhome and flow into the generous open-plan living and dining area. Slide away the doors and note how they amplify the indoors-out effect, in a seamless transition to the terracotta-tiled terrace on the northwesterly side. You certainly get the feeling someone is about to pour a cool drink before a long lunch or a sublime sunset.

Bordering the terrace is lawn, and low maintenance sub-tropical gardens, either side of the fence. And let us not forget visiting friends lucky enough to have a boat, can moor it alongside the revetment wall.

This is true indoor/outdoor living for the entertainer, thanks also to the large kitchen, and with its breakfast bar also works intuitively around everyday life. Extra storage is under the stairs, and a powder

room and laundry are nearby.

Upstairs reveals three bright bedrooms with built-in robes. Two including the master which has an ensuite, share an undercover terrace looking over Noosa Waters and the Noosa River. What a beautiful sight to wake up to. On the east-side is a third bedroom and a family-size bathroom with a bathtub.

“This is a must-see, investment-savvy townhome, one of two and part of a small enclave in a prized location at the end of a cul-de-sac,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin.

“Entry to the private secluded estate is via an electronic security gate with widearboured Poincianas either side. It really is a blue-ribbon waterside location which engages visually with the surrounding prestige residences and is perfect for walking, cycling, fishing and boating enthusiasts.

“The cycle and walkway go under the Gympie Terrace bridge to the Noosa River foreshore. The Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club is almost a neighbour and Gympie Terrace is nationally known as cafe and restaurant central.” *Please note, complex is soon to be painted externally at no charge to the new owner. ●
