1500 eye Ultra-Trail Noosa Ultra-Trail returns for its second year from 23-26 March. Following a sold-out inaugural event in 2022, Noosa Ultra-Trail has become the largest trail run event in Queensland, with a field of over 1500 runners set to traverse the spectacular Noosa Biosphere Trails located within Noosa Hinterland. Event director Nick Stewart said, “Not only does this make Noosa Ultra-Trail Queensland’s most popular festival style trail run event, but it ranks the event as Australia’s third largest behind UTA and Kosciuszko, both of which are UTMB World Series events.“ “The support we have had from Tourism and Events Queensland, Queensland Parks and Wildlife and Tourism Noosa has been fantastic, and we’re thrilled to be able to showcase the Noosa Hinterland to people from around Australia and all over the world.” One of the premier events on the Australian trail running calendar, Noosa Ultra-Trail offers runners a choice of six distances, including the Forest 15km, Cross Country 25km, Pomona Sundowner 30km, Out’N’Back 50km, Hinterland Traverse 80km, and the ultimate challenge – the Ultra-Trail 100km. The diverse range in distances and terrain has seen the event welcome participants from a range of disciplines, such as road runners, triathletes, hiking and trekking, alongside traditional trail runners. The event is a UTMB Index level event, attracting some of the best trail runners from across the nation, including race ambassador Kellie Angel (nee Emmerson, a three x World Trail Running Championships Australian representative).

Plea from heart By Phil Jarratt

It may have been nearing the end of a hot day when a politician’s thoughts are likely on a cold beer and a hot dinner, but Noosa MP Sandy Bolton had filled the house when she rose to speak on the Cooloola Great Walk during the adjournment debate just after 7pm on 15 March. By the time she had completed a short but

impassioned plea for greater government transparency on Cooloola, for the Kabi Kabi First Nations factions to explain their differences over it, and for a pause to be placed on approvals for the proposed Great Walk ecotours project until there was greater clarity, the popular nononsense Independent had sent shock waves through several government departments. In her speech, after acknowledging the

amendments made by both sides of the house to bring the Nature Conservation Act 1992 into line with current conservation and Indigenous objectives, she said: “This sounds rightly appropriate in efforts of reconciliation. However, as we have seen in Noosa with the Cooloola Great Walk project, good intent does not overcome some concerns in our community… Noosa is a compassionate and inclusive com-

munity and is extremely supportive of efforts that involve First Nations people. “However, this support is at risk through a lack of finer detail in the Cooloola project itself, the Indigenous land use agreement and Native Title negotiations, poor communication from government and public conflict between local Indigenous factions.” Continued page 3

When Tania Hicks joined Libby Doherty last Thursday to front Noosa Council calling for better access for their disabled children, no one could have guessed the grief and bravery behind her message of advocacy. Tania told councillors about her wonderful boy, Hemi, 10. He’s non-verbal, does not walk, is fed through a peg in his stomach and has epilepsy, she said. These children are a part of our lives. We need to stop making it so difficult for them, Tania said as she described the many steps involved in just taking Hemi to the Noosa Aquatic Centre to swim, something he loved to do. When you take your child to the pool, you pay your money, look for somewhere to put your belongings, maybe go to the toilet, then jump in the pool. For Tania, the process began with asking for a pool chair, manoeuvring it into the change rooms, trying to find somewhere private to change Hemi into his swimmers when there was nowhere, making their way back to the pool and carrying him from the chair to the pool. Because of the severe seizures he suffered, Hemi couldn’t be left alone in the pool. Devastatingly, on Wednesday night their boy had a seizure and passed away in his sleep, Tanya told councillors. Despite her overwhelming loss she believed her message was too important to go unsaid.

Opinions sought on parking Council has honoured a commitment to return Noosa Heads Lions Park to the community on long weekends and school holidays once Covid restrictions had eased. The decision at Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting could also see this greenspace eventually no longer used for paid holiday carparking. Noosa Council will seek State Government approval to again provide paid parking in Noosa Heads Lions Park during the upcoming Easter and Christmas holidays. However, Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said the park’s continued use for parking beyond 2023 would be put to the community for feedback. “This decision honours the commitment we made regarding the temporary use of this much-loved greenspace for carparking. “And taking into account increased free bus services and other planned transport measures, we’d like the community to have a say in the future of this much-loved parkland,” he said. Use of the Noosa Heads Lions Park for carparking is contrary to the Department of Resources park designation, the Noosa planning scheme, the Noosa Transport Strategy and the Noosa Design Principles. In 2020 Council approved the Lions Park’s use for paid parking on long weekends and school holidays during the Queensland Covid-19 public health declaration. The aim was to encourage drive tourism while travel restrictions and border closures

were in place. “It was not intended to be an ongoing arrangement and now the Queensland public health declaration has ended and travel restrictions have lifted, we no longer need to encourage the drive market. “With 14,000 vehicles accessing the Hastings Street precinct during peak periods, the 150-200 spaces offered in Lions Park don’t significantly improve supply or demand but do provide an incentive for motorists to enter the precinct, which increases congestion,” Cr Wilkie said. “Since the pandemic began, we’ve also launched the free weekend bus trial to move people around - including in and out of the Hastings Street precinct - to help reduce traffic congestion and parking demand. “The ongoing use of this public green space for parking is something the community should rightly be given an opportunity to have a say on,” Cr Wilkie said. Not-for-profit Tewantin-Noosa Lions Club will continue to manage paid parking in the park this Easter and Christmas and collect 50 per cent of the income to support the organisation’s work. “The Lions Park paid carparking has been a welcome source of income for the Lions Club and Council will support them to review pricing arrangements and find alternative fundraising opportunities to offset downturns in revenue,” the Deputy Mayor said.

Bolton’s plea from heart on Cooloola Great Walk From page 1 Ms Bolton’s efforts to engage with Kabi Kabi people across the board are well known in Noosa and beyond. Just last month, after the picnic table launch of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Noosa Area Management Plan, she told Noosa Today: “This was a new kind of meeting for me and I think it was fantastic to have an open conversation and also to feel the genuine excitement from Kabi, and their positive hope. But also, their realistic viewpoints about the present and the future… I think the Noosa Area Management Plan is a first for Noosa in that it outlines the partnership between Kabi and QPWS in a way that has never been done before. There has never been such extensive collaboration.” But a month can be a long time in politics, and Sandy Bolton is not the only person closely following the Cooloola issue who now fears that a void of information from both government and Kabi Kabi could damage that collaboration by fostering a culture of misinformation. She told the parliament: “Currently, I am awaiting a response from the Kabi Kabi corporation in response to questions from Kabi Kabi women, as we have no state government avenues for some answers… In addition, I

Sandy Bolton MP (second left) with Kabi Kabi Corporation members and Environment Minister Meghan Scanlon at the meeting in the park. have requested a meeting be convened between Kabi Kabi factions to find a common path to walk together. As I have been advised that it is inappropriate for non-Indigenous to attend such meetings, it is hoped that they would then consent to gathering afterwards with our community in order to clear the air about their conflict in a transparent, respect-

ful and meaningful way. This is essential and, until this occurs, final approvals for the Cooloola Great Walk project should not be granted to ensure a future free of negativity.” The questions from Kabi Kabi women Ms Bolton referred to are from a Kabi Grandmothers Gathering (see Letters, Questions about the Cooloola Great Walk) and are

themselves partly based on misinformation about where the proposed campsites are situated. The “public conflict” between Kabi Kabi factions is harder to pinpoint, but a close reading of Ms Bolton’s carefully-worded speech indicates that she is not expecting or asking the factions to resolve their differences and reach an agreement, but merely to air their views and explain to the wider community on which points they agree and disagree, which would seem to be a reasonable request. In parliament last week Ms Bolton concluded on a hopeful note: “Be assured that I remain supportive of Kabi Kabi efforts, as would the vast majority of Noosa residents. However, it is not possible to support processes and projects that lack open and timely communication from all involved. If we cannot get some truth telling in relation to this, we are not providing the environment and framework necessary for a successful return to country for Kabi Kabi, nor endeavours such as Path to Treaty.” Speaking to Noosa Today later in the week Ms Bolton said: “Our community deserves to know the facts, all the facts, and it’s good to see that the government is moving on truth telling at last.

Trafficker jailed for 9 years By Rex Martinich, AAP A Noosa man whose meth-impaired driving left a young woman with severe injuries has been jailed for up to nine years for traffic, drugs and weapons offences. Damon Neville Vesey-Brown, 48, faced Brisbane Supreme Court via videolink on Thursday 16 March on a range of charges including dangerous operation of a vehicle causing grievous bodily harm while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance. Vesey-Brown pleaded guilty to all counts, including trafficking and producing meth, supplying a taser and shotgun, and failing to inform police of his address and contact with children as a reportable sex offender. Crown prosecutor Christopher Cook said Vesey-Brown had caused “carnage” on the Bruce Highway at Glenwood on 29 December

2020 while driving with a “substantial amount of meth in his system”. Witnesses saw Vesey-Brown speeding, driving erratically and swerving between lanes before hitting another vehicle head-on being driven by a 28-year-old woman, causing compound fractures to her arm, a fractured humerus and hip bone and a partially collapsed lung. “She was airlifted to Brisbane for surgery and was in hospital for a week,” Mr Cook said. “Without treatment she would have lost function in both arms. She obviously suffered greatly as a result of this offending.” During a police investigation into VeseyBrown’s failure to report as a sex offender, officers found evidence that led to the drug charges. Vesey-Brown also offered to supply weapons to an undercover police operative.

Tewantin man charged on multiple drug matters Detectives from the Sunshine Coast Drug and Serious Crime Task Force (DSCTF) have charged four people, including a man from Tewantin, with more than 25 drug and firearm offences following the closure of Operation Tango Gray. Operation Tango Gray was established to target the illicit supply of methylamphetamine, firearms and cannabis into the Sunshine Coast area. The seven-month operation included the execution of search warrants at three properties and two vehicles across South East Queensland, resulting in the alleged seizure of almost $500,000 in illicit substances, including 43 kilograms of cannabis and 290 grams of methylamphetamine. In addition, two firearms, a sawn-off shotgun and a concealable firearm were also allegedly located and seized. Detectives will estimate the respective street value of the cannabis and methylamphetamine to be $380,0000 and $100,000. Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Mansfield said officers had worked tirelessly throughout the protracted operation which has resulted in enhanced community safety. “Police have disrupted supply and distribution networks for these dangerous drugs which cause untold harm to so many families and have put those we allege are responsible before the courts,” Detective Senior Sergeant Mansfield said. The closure of the operation culminated in a search warrant being executed at a Pallara, South Brisbane residence on 14 March. A 20-year-old Tewantin man has been charged with four counts of drug trafficking. He is next due to face Noosa Magistrates Court on 11 April. A 26-year-old Pallara man has been charged with four counts of possessing dangerous drugs, two counts each of trafficking danger-

He has been remanded in custody and will next face Richlands Magistrates Court on 10 May. A 24-year-old Heathwood woman has been charged with three counts of possessing dangerous drugs, two counts of trafficking dangerous drugs, and one count each of possess utensils or pipes, possessing anything for use in the commission of crime, possessing anything used in the commission of crime and producing dangerous drugs. She has been remanded in custody and will next face Richlands Magistrates Court on 15 May. A 20-year-old Mountain Creek man has been charged with three counts of trafficking dangerous drugs, discharge weapon in a public place and unlawful supply of weapons. He is next due to face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 21 April.

Mr Cook said Vesey-Brown sold drugs in “high-level street quantities”, supplying drugs to 37 customers and charging up to $6000 per ounce of meth. “He was able to afford a reasonably nice apartment at $400 per night for a period of three weeks,” Mr Cook said. “It was a successful business for a while. He was motivated by profit.” Vesey-Brown’s barrister said his client had been abused while at boarding school, which resulted in his education being cut short at year 10. “He could not come to terms with it,” the barrister said. “The tragic death of [a close family member], described as his best friend, coincided with the downward spiral back into the use of drugs and supplying to pay his debts. “It’s no excuse but it does put it into context.”

Justice Peter Davis said Vesey-Brown’s life “seems to be lurching from disaster to disaster” and had seriously injured another person. “You have clearly been affected by childhood trauma. You seem to react by trauma in your life with drugs and offending,” Justice Davis said. He said the young woman’s injuries from the collision had “interfered very significantly with her life”, preventing her normal physical activities and causing weight gain and selfesteem issues. Justice Davis said Vesey-Brown had also suffered ongoing injuries as a result of the crash and was due for another surgery. Vesey-Brown was given a parole eligibility date of 9 February, 2025 with 400 days declared as time served. He was also disqualified from holding a licence for three years.

Coast Guard to the rescue By Lee McCarthy The Tin Can Bay Coast Guard was called to action on 10 March after a boat was reportedly on fire near Tin Can Bay. The Coast Guard launched Cooloola Rescue to take officers of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) and their equipment out to a burning yacht off Norman Point in Tin Can Bay.

Crime watch goes online By Margie Maccoll Noosa police are enlisting community social media groups in a new crime fighting initiative aimed at delivering more immediate information between police and the community. Last week Noosa police officer in charge Senior Sergeant Anthony Cowan called a meeting of local Facebook page administrators to discuss their potential role in becoming part of a community crime watch online network. Neighbourhood Watch groups have long been the dominant community crime watch vehicle but the number of groups across Noosa has dwindled in recent years to just two covering Peregian Beach and Noosa Waters. Having initiated an online crime watch in his previous posting in Mackay, Snr Sgt Cowan knew something similar would work in Noosa The benefits were that Facebook groups were able to tap in to their members and deliver messages quickly, he told the group. “If someone gets a message ‘there’s been a break-in in your area, lock your door’ it has the local touch. People are more likely to lock up when they see their neighbour’s been broken into,” he said. Between them, the attendees have direct links to tens of thousands of Noosa locals through their sites, including community noticeboards and digital newsletters. One negative aspect of social media raised by Snr Sgt Cowan was its potential to generate an exaggerated perception of crime events. “Social media amplifies the perception of crime,” he said.

Senior constable Jessica Phillips, Julia Walkden, Neale and Kayleen Bertram, Jennifer Sadler, John Reid, Snr Sgt Anthony Cowan, Trish Simpson and Rod Ritchie. “You hear about it more than you used to so it appears there is more crime. The message is hyped up.” In Noosa, crime has gone up in the past five years but per capita, it’s still a low crime rate, he said. To balance this perception and allay concerns, the officers suggested they occasionally provide crime statistics, including those showing when no crimes have been committed. When it comes to police time, Snr Sgt Cowan said most call outs from the public were about noise, an issue “fixed in five minutes”, followed by domestic violence, which consumed most of their time and impacted all demographics. The issue which police believe the com-

munity could most provide useful information about is one involving youths coming up from Brisbane in stolen cars, breaking into houses and stealing cars before returning. Stealing, joy riding and posting their actions on social media is the aim of these young offenders. They don’t cover up their appearance. They do it for the glory, to have their actions liked by friends, he said. These are not well-planned operations. Most kids come from Brisbane, steal and return. They don’t do research. They’re not scoping out houses. Kids may walk up a street checking door handles for one unlocked - a practise known as creeping.

Individuals have different modes of operation (MOs). One thing police were certain of was that the offenders would be members of local social media groups. If they see themselves on your page, they’ll stop, Snr Sgt Cowan told attendees. Snr Sgt Cowan said obtaining footage from privately-owned CCTV cameras and alerting police to criminal activity would be the best case scenario in assisting their work. The police already have cameras on Hastings Street live-streaming directly to the station, which has been “very beneficial”. Snr Sgt Cowan said the great percentage of these youth crimes were solved but the quicker they got information of the crimes taking place, the faster the perpetrators would be apprehended. Through numberplate recognition on the highway, police aim to identify stolen cars and stop them before they arrive in Noosa, he said. Noosa Waters Residents Association representatives were well aware of these criminal activities, they told the meeting. They said their residents had plenty of toys to steal, a number had been burgled and had cars stolen and some had discovered thieves in their homes and were quite traumatised by the experience. All attendees were keen to be involved. In addition to sharing information on crime, police said the communication network could also be used in times of natural disaster to update locals.

Young boy stomped by bull Armed robbery charges on the Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter has airlifted a primary school-aged boy to hospital after he was injured while bull-riding in the South Burnett region. The rescue chopper was called into action around 7pm Saturday 18 March). It’s believed the child had been riding the animal when it bucked him off, then turned and stood on his leg. Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) ar-

rived on scene first and treated the patient for a broken femur. He was then transported a short distance to a local school, where the rescue chopper had landed. The aeromedical crew assessed the boy and prepared him for flight, before he was airlifted for further treatment at Toowoomba Hospital. He was in a stable condition during the flight and accompanied by his mother.

Boy airlifted to hospital after being stomped on by a bull.

A 31-year-old man has been charged in relation to a series of alleged property offences including the armed robbery of a vehicle at Valdora on the Sunshine Coast, on 12 March. Police went to a Hughes Place address about a BMW allegedly stolen from a Jones Hill address on 7 March. A 21-year-old Wooloowin woman was taken into custody. At approximately 6.20pm, emergency services received a report of a man allegedly armed with a knife attending residences in the Valdora area. A 31-year-old was taken into custody in Southport on the Gold Coast the next morning and charged with 12 offences including two counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and one count each of armed robbery, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and enter dwelling with intent. Bail was and he was expected to appear before Southport Magistrates Court on 14 March.

Police established a cordon in surrounding streets, before the BMW was observed leaving the residence. The 21-year-old Wooloowin woman was charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, possessing dangerous drugs and possess drug utensils. She was set to appear before Southport Magistrates Court on 14 March.

Growing battery interest Last Saturday, a large audience in Cooroy heard about the opportunities for installing a community battery in their neighbourhood. “We were really delighted that Mayor Clare Stewart opened the event, and inspired participants with Council’s vision and the way that community batteries link to the Smart Biosphere aspirations of the council,” Zero Emissions Noosa chair Anne Kennedy said. “Already we have some possible hinterland community battery sites being proposed by participants, which we will be following up. We also have a second event happening at The J Noosa tomorrow, from 9-12 and people can still register for that event by going to zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au or phoning 0407 116 105. We expect additional suggestions for coastal locations to come forward from the event tomorrow.” “Storage is absolutely vital for the energy transition, and over the next few years, ZEN Inc. is aiming to deliver a network of 100-200 community batteries throughout the shire. We will definitely need all hands on deck if we are to achieve this goal. “We are awaiting the result of the Noosa Council application for Federal Government grant funding of $500, 000 for the first community battery in Noosaville. Also we are getting ready for further funding opportunities through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), which we expect to open shortly. We want to hear from residents who think a community battery might be a good fit in their neighbourhood. We are also keen to hear from people interested in developing business models for the financial sustainability of the technology into the future.”

ZEN Inc. member Mark Purcell outlining “electrifying everything” opportunities. The Cooroy audience heard how community batteries can power up their community’s future with sustainable energy. By storing excess solar energy, these batteries can reduce carbon emissions and increase the hosting capacity of the network, allowing for more rooftop solar. With community bat-

teries, you can put downward pressure on energy bills while also building community action in response to climate change. And that’s not all. Community batteries can also provide backup in times of disaster, and also improve resilience and stabilize the network.

Noosa residents and businesses already love their solar, with over 80MW installed to date. “So there’s lots of excess solar generation during the day that can be stored and released at night,” Ms Kennedy said. “ZEN understands the contribution that community batteries can make in the overall storage outcomes. They are a local and shared storage solution that benefits everyone in a neighbourhood. Cooroy attendees also valued the opportunity to hear of the practical experience from Mark Purcell, an electrical engineer who is passionate to replicate the “electrify everything” strategy of Saul Griffiths from Rewiring Australia.” Community batteries can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and put downward pressure on energy costs, while also enhancing energy security and reliability. “We think community batteries are an exciting opportunity for the Noosa community to work together to build a sustainable, resilient, and affordable energy future for us all,” concluded Ms Kennedy, “and that is a great fit with our Noosa Biosphere.” “We are grateful to have received funding support from the Queensland Government’s Community Sustainability Action grant program to enable the development of a Business Plan for a Network of Community Batteries in the Noosa LGA for how to make this happen in partnership with communities across Noosa.” To register for the Community Battery event at The J Noosa, from 9-12 on Saturday 25 March, go to zeroemissionsnoosa.com or phone 0407 116 105.

Crucial vote for golfers A traffic light moment is how Cooroy Golf Club president Keith Harkins describes a special meeting being called by members on 28 March to determine the club’s future relationship with GemLife and its proposed retirement resort development. “It’s a traffic light to say keep going or stop here and try something else,“ Mr Harkins said. In 2019, over-50’s lifestyle resort developer GemLife lodged a development application for a luxury retirement resort, with 246 housing units, on private land adjoining Cooroy Golf Course in Myall Street, Cooroy. The application called for a reconfiguration of lots and included the transfer for 1.2ha of golf course land to the developer. In exchange, the club was to receive a new clubhouse, new car parking, a golf buggy shed, new golf course entry and club membership fees from each new home owner for 10 years. In February 2021, council planning staff recommended refusal on a number of grounds including inconsistencies with Noosa Plan zoning, negative environmental impacts, high housing density, effects on the Lake Macdonald Water Supply Catchment, and adverse impacts on Cooroy’s infrastructure and amenity. The proposal was unanimously rejected by councillors at the general committee meeting the following month. GemLife filed a Notice of Appeal in the Planning and Environment Court in April 2021. In March 2022, GemLife reduced the number of lots by 18 in response to concerns from Noosa Council about building houses and infrastructure in the flood-prone and environmentally sensitive riparian zone. On 10 February this year, GemLife lodged a Minor Change Application, which included plans to relocate the entry to the clubhouse and residential estate which will avoid vegetation clearing but impact the golf course’s 15th fairway. Rod Ritchie, president of Cooroy Area Resi-

Cooroy golf course. dents Association, which is a co-respondent with Noosa Council in the appeal, said this further incursion into the golf course had prompted dissatisfaction among many club members, who were already uneasy about the previous changes. “They are now concerned that this classic rural golf course is in danger of being impacted by this proposed high-density residential estate, which reduces its length and changes its layout. It’s important to them that the golf course retains its integrity, even though a new clubhouse might be attractive to some members,“ he said. “Members are also concerned about the intrusion of the housing estate on the playability of the course, the liability of players and/ or the club when stray balls enter the housing estate, and the extra costs involved in running and maintaining a new clubhouse. Other fears

included the reduction from a standard par 72 course to a par 67, which would have an effect on the quality of the course and therefore its popularity with players.“ Golf club members called for the special general meeting on 28 March, putting forward two motions for a vote: a) Given the significant changes to the GemLife proposal, the management committee is directed to cease and withdraw from all discussions and negotiations around the sales or exchange of assets with GemLife forthwith. b) That no part of the current 15th hole be sold or exchanged with GemLife. The Cooroy Golf Club newsletter, received by members last week, announced that the latest plans for the proposal would be available for examination by members from Monday. At several information sessions this week, committee members will join with GemLife rep-

resentatives to clarify the issues, and answer any questions members may have on how the proposal will affect the golf course. Members are invited to provide feedback on these latest changes. “If people don’t have the full information rumours can get away,“ Mr Harkins said. “We’re still in the process of design and negotiation. With any of these things you want feedback. That’s the normal process. “I’m president. I’ll do what the members want to do.“ The significance of the vote is contained in the club newsletter which states: “It should be understood that if there is a yes vote on the motion to be resolved at the special general meeting called by members and scheduled for 28 March 2023, then all discussions with GemLife will cease immediately without any further negotiations.”

CEO move ‘gobsmacking’ By Phil Jarratt One word did the rounds of staff offices at Noosa Council’s Pelican Street chambers last week as the news of chief executive officer Scott Waters’ shock resignation leaked out – gobsmacked. The gobsmacks were occasioned not just by the loss of a CEO only 14 months into his tenure, but by the fact that Mr Waters, alongside Mayor Clare Stewart, had only recently completed a major organisational restructure, which the CEO described as “a leadership program based on renewed organisational values”. According to one insider: “In restructures like this there are always winners and losers, and that’s when the mayor and the CEO have to placate the losers. In those situations there is usually a lot of talk about loyalty and taking one for the team, but in this case it seems highly likely that the CEO was already being interviewed for a new job while this was happening. That’s why sections of staff were gobsmacked.” According to website Noosa Matters, even the Mayor herself had “admitted to being teary about it” since receiving Mr Waters’ resignation . Mr Waters, who was recruited by a team led by Mayor Stewart in December 2021, left a plum job as CEO of Darwin Council to accept the Noosa role, and will now leave Noosa in May to become the CEO at Moreton Bay Regional Council, Australia’s third largest council. While it is certainly a feather in his career cap to have been appointed after an extensive Australia-wide search, Waters’ resignation after such a brief stopover in Noosa is considered unusual to say the least. Over the past 30 years, with the exception of the six-year amalgamation hiatus, Noosa Shire has had only two CEOs – Bruce Davidson and Brett de Chastel, whom Scott Waters replaced on retirement. Both were considered to have been exemplary servants of their community and great leaders. Both still live in the shire. Noosa’s last three mayors, Bob Abbot, Noel Playford and Tony Wellington, each had but one CEO. Mayor Stewart is looking for her third. According to one insider, a normal senior staff contract at Noosa Council, at least since the council reformed after de-amalgamation, runs for three or four years, occasionally fixed term with no renewal but more often with an option to renew. There is a probation period of three or six months at the start and the opportunity to notify intention not to renew six months before the completion of the term. But, according to two other sources, underlying this is the fundamental idea that if someone gets a better offer and wants to leave, they can. So while it is unfair to tarnish Mr Waters’ as yet unknown Noosa legacy because of a smart career move that he was quite entitled to make, the job he was hired to do is far from over, and the cost to the community of replacing him will be significant. Putting a brave face on the resignation in an official statement, Mayor Stewart said: “Scott

Departing CEO Scott Waters with Mayor Stewart. has been an agent of change for our organisation and I truly appreciate what he’s been able to implement during his 14-month tenure. It’s certainly a huge loss for our council but I understand that Scott has to make the right decisions for his family and career and this is a natural progression for a CEO of his calibre. The fact Scott was successful in a nationwide recruitment campaign for such a large council is testament to our recruitment process and clearly shows we had the right person in place.” In a later mayoral minute at last week’s council meeting, Mayor Stewart emphasised “unity and solidarity” as the key to the pathway forward. She said: “It is important to move swiftly to ensure that our talented executive team can deliver our transformational program in liaison with councillors, the destination management plan, the 2023-24 budget, corporate plan, initiatives of the housing strategy, plus more. In a show of unity and solidarity this afternoon, I along with our CEO Scott Waters , our soon to be Acting CEO Larry Sengstock with all the executive team addressed managers and senior staff. The message is and was clear – it is firmly business as usual.” For his part, Mr Waters heaped praise on the mayor in a statement as he placed one foot outside the door: “The opportunity to

work with Mayor Clare Stewart was largely the reason for moving to Noosa... Her progressive view for the shire and her strong focus on social justice and fairness has made the role incredibly rewarding.” Of his own legacy he said: “I am proud of what we’ve achieved, the first phase of Noosa 2.0 is in place, we have a new corporate plan, our structure realignment is being finalised, a refreshed council brand about to roll out and a leadership program based on renewed organisational values is underway. “I am genuinely excited at what we are building here in Noosa, but the opportunity to take on such a challenging and significant role for me personally and professionally is the next step in my career and I’m looking forward to commencing with the team at Moreton Bay Regional Council.” Fair enough, and no doubt Infrastructure Services Director Larry Sengstock will pick up the pieces of the vision and move forward in his capacity as acting CEO. But it’s interesting to reflect on Mr Waters’ words when he spoke to Noosa Today from Darwin just after his Noosa appointment had been announced in 2021: “For me the biggest difference [between Darwin and Noosa] will be in reclaiming a greater involvement in

In Darwin with partner Tori.

planning and development, which is something I really enjoy. There are critical parts of that equation that the team in Noosa is looking at right now, like housing affordability. I think it’s one of the most important parts of what a council in a place like Noosa will be doing next, planning a future that delivers for the broad community as well as the tourism operators, having the right product mix that will deliver at the highest level.” So, plenty there for the next bloke (or woman) to be going on with.

Sengstock takes charge The appointment of highly regarded local government executive Larry Sengstock to the role of acting chief executive officer until June 2024 ensures it will be “business as usual” for Noosa Council and the community. That’s the message from Mayor Clare Stewart and her fellow councillors, who unanimously supported a Mayoral Minute at Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting, following the resignation of current CEO Scott Waters to take up a role at Moreton Bay Regional Council. “Larry’s experience and management style is a huge asset to council and he continues to play a critical role in delivering our biggest capital works program ever,” the Mayor said. “The message is clear, it is firmly business as usual and we have the foundations to go forward, the drive to deliver and the ability to execute, and make no mistakes, we will execute,“ the mayor said. “Scott worked closely with our executive team and managers and supervisors to implement an integral set of core values- SPARC. “We have finalised and about to deliver the Corporate Plan and rebrand and most significantly through re-alignment of our organisation, Larry and the executive team have set us up to be an agile, customer focused and value centric organisation,” she said. “This decision ensures the talented executive team can continue to deliver the transformational program Noosa 2.0 in liaison with councillors, as well as the Destination Management Plan, the 2023-24 Budget, Corporate Plan and initiatives form the Housing Strategy,” the Mayor said. Mr Sengstock will be in the CEO chair to ensure stability and continuity of services with the quadrennial local government elections scheduled for mid-March 2024. Before moving to Noosa, Mr Sengstock held senior roles at Latrobe City Council and delivered Victoria’s $57 million Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre and the $19 million transfor-

He’s a former chief executive of Basketball Australia, head of sport and operations for the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games and is a four-time Olympian who played more than 290 games for Australia. Larry’s business resume packs a punch, including a Master of Business Administration from Victoria University, Bachelor of Applied Science and Physical Education and a Diploma of Education. He’s also filled the CEO role for four months, awaiting Mr Water’s arrival. “We are fortunate to have such an experienced leader in Larry who knows Noosa and is well-respected by staff and council’s leadership team,’ Cr Stewart said. “Larry worked closely with Scott on a range

of projects and he along with the executive team was instrumental in the implementation of the corporate values and leadership program,” she said. “Teamwork is an important ingredient in success and that’s how I approach my senior management roles,” Mr Sengstock said. “This council continues to deliver its largest ever capital works program, plus flood damage work totaling $80 million and so many other daily services, “It really is business as usual, thanks largely to our skilled and dedicated staff,” Mr Sengstock said. Mayor Stewart said council was no stranger to handling challenges. “This council has faced tough times before.

The first ever budget we faced as we came into council was a deficit budget- the first in 20 years- add to that a global pandemic, a workforce that has predominantly been displaced because of such, catastrophic weather events, record inflation and record interest rates we have come through for our community. We do it time and time again. We deliver. Today is no different,” she said. “As Mayor, I’m proud to lead this organisation but I am aware that we are only as good as the people around us. “We have great people around us and the councillors and I are acutely aware of that.” Mr Sengstock added “We have a strong management plan in place and are all focused on delivering a high standard of service to our community.”

Community feedback on libraries to guide changes Residents are invited to share their thoughts on Noosa Libraries. The feedback will help inform future changes. The short survey asks the community for their views about the libraries at Cooroy, Noosaville, the Mobile Library, and the services provided. Residents can take the survey online from now until 7 April at libraries.noosa.qld.gov. au, as well as in person at each of the library branches. “Library card holders, locals whose library memberships have lapsed, and even locals who’ve never visited the library, are all welcome to participate in the survey to let us know the sorts of services they’d like to see offered,” Rachel Oldfield, branch libraries team leader, said. “The feedback will help identify gaps in

services and inform future changes to the libraries to ensure they’re meeting community expectations.” Everyone who takes the time to fill out the survey will go into the draw to win one of two $150 Visa gift cards. “It’s important the community has an opportunity to shape the direction of their local libraries so that the services we offer are meeting people’s needs. “The feedback we receive to this survey will give us a clear snapshot of patrons’ experiences using our library service.” To fill out the survey, visit libraries.noosa. qld.gov.au or visit Cooroy or Noosaville Libraries, or the mobile library.

The Shoreline is the Frontline Key to protecting the community from climate change

Noosa Council’s draft Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan (EBFMP) isn’t based on science or fact and the most significant problems have been overlooked and sidelined. The issues causing the most environmental damage and leaving our community vulnerable to the imacts of climate change, must become Council’s priority.

WE NEED YOUR HELP to make this happen

We are highly supportive of an Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan as a means to protect the natural environment as well as the way of life of the communities that enjoy our beaches for years to come.

What’s wrong with the current draft Plan? • Council’s stormwater management is ineffective and failing yet there is no funding assigned to address it. The plan notes the water quality of Burgess Creek has decreased and pollutants have increased - some of the creek mouths have become murky and brown. We are aware that Boardriders and lifesavers have even found needles which have been washed down onto the beaches. • Erosion susceptibility leave us vulnerable to big weather events and, although the draft plan references two significant erosion concerns near the mouth of Burgess Creek, there are no commitments by Council to rectify the problem. • Compared to the other issues in the plan, encroachment is not our biggest problem plus it’s easily fixed. The majority of the budget has been allocated to addressing illegal encroachment but it isn’t causing the biggest detrimental impacts to our beautiful environment. Council could simply enforce the existing laws already at their disposal to address this. • The current draft plan alludes to blanket restrictions on community access to their beaches without any evidence. There is an absence of published background materials to substantiate claims made within the document. We are supportive 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.

The discharge from coastal creeks are causing significant erosion to the foreshore yet the plan does nothing to fix this.

What do we want Noosa Council to do about it? • Council need to re-prioritise the plan so resources and funding are put toward improving local stormwater and sewage issues in the first instance. • We are asking Council to undertake an ecology monitoring program on both turtle and koala populations in the area so we can ensure any strategies to protect them are specific and fit-for-purpose. • We’re asking Council to undertake an evaluation to determine the scale of illegal built encroachments so the measures to address them are of a relevant scale and proportionate. • We seek clarity regarding the community groups that the Council engages with to establish the scope, parameters, and values of the draft. This is to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest that may have impacted the distribution of funding. • We’re asking Council to publicly commit to ensuring the foreshore areas maintain their recreational tenure status.

The water quality of Burgess Creek is in fast decline due to stormwater and treated sewage that runs across the beach and into the ocean

What you can do • Put in a submission prior to March 31 to foreshores@noosa.qld.gov.au requesting the plan focus primarily on the major environmental impact issues - being erosion caused by dumping of stormwater and sewage into coastal creeks. • If you are short of time, email foreshores@noosa.qld.gov.au and tell Noosa Council you support the position of the EPBA, the Boardriders and Peregian Family & Friends. • Participate in Council’s roundtable events and call the elected members or staff to account by publishing all the materials and consultations they have relied upon to develop this plan. 12595793-FC12-23

More animals given up as Push on to hard times hit pet owners save species By Margie Maccoll

By Margie Maccoll Noosa Council has endorsed its Threatened Fauna Recovery Road Map and maintained its position raised last week on the immediate implementation of it these Easter holidays with a focus on protecting turtle hatchlings on Noosa North Shore’s coastal dunes. But with few resources and no authority to issue infringement notices to North Shore drivers, council officers will be able only to adopt a support role to Queensland Parks and Wildlife and Queensland Police Service in carrying out council’s proposed enforcement measures. Councillors voted at its ordinary meeting last week to implement the road map by adopting a zero tolerance approach to driving on coastal dunes targeting compliance and enforcement action on peak times during the turtle nesting and hatching season. To achieve this council called on officers to begin immediate negotiations with QPWS, QPS and the Teewah Cooloola Working Group to develop a joint education, compliance and enforcement regime involving fixed and drone mounted surveillance cameras, closure of the North Shore beach either side of high tide and appropriate signage and presence of authorised officers. It also intends to advise the Noosa MP and Environment Minister of the council’s position on this matter and seek their support for any

regulatory reform and budgetary allocation required to achieve their desired outcomes. The road map is aimed at following on from the endorsement by council in 2019 of its Noosa Environment Strategy (NES) which committed to “significant implementation actions“ relating to the long-term survival of threatened and protected fauna. Officers working on the road map shortlisted 29 significant native wildlife species and en- listed an expert panel of 10 people to nominate nine species, regarded as the Noosa Nine, for priority management with the focus of action to begin in the first year with one species, loggerhead turtles. The nine priority species selected were the giant barred frog, glossy black cockatoo, Great- er glider, koala, tusked frog, Mary River turtle, acid frogs (Wallum froglet, rocket frog and sedge frog), water mouse and loggerhead turtle. This week council added the Mary River Cod to the list and altered its catch phrase to Noosa Nine & Co. Cr Brian Stockwell said with wildlife extinctions occurring at a rate never before seen the challenge to protect threatened species was as big and complex as climate change. He said Noosa needed to change it’s description from Noosa being different by nature to Noosa being nature positive and adopting a goal of improving biodiversity in the shire.

Rental rises, interest rate rises and increased costs of living are forcing more families to surrender their pets, according to Silver Lining Pet Rescue. The charitable organisation operates across South East Queensland with foster carers taking in rescues until they can be adopted into forever homes. “When it comes down to feeding the kids or feeding the pets a family makes the difficult decision. Some people are just devastated. They’ve never been in a position like this before,“ Denise Bettany of Silver Lining Pet Rescue said. Ten years ago Denise and a group of fellow pet adoption coordinators set up the organisation in response to an increasing number of pets being given away on social media sites. Based in Nanango Denise continues to operate the charity with a team of foster carers from Gympie to Loganholme to Ipswich. Last Saturday PETstock Noosa played host to some of their foster carers and several cats to raise awareness of some of the wonderful animals needing permanent homes and inspiring likely pet-owners to consider adoption. Denise said Silver Lining had about 80 cats ready for adoption to the right homes as well as several dogs, but the group takes care to ensure their animals are matched to the right people so they end up in safe, loving environments. Denise praised PETstock for the support they gave them and said they were grateful to the community for the help they receive to assist with some of the costs including veterinary fees to care for the animals. PETstock Noosa hosted the animal rescue organisation as part of National Pet Adoption Month, an initiative of The Petspiration Foundation (formally PETstock Assist) with support from event partner PetRescue. “All pets deserve a safe and loving home, and National Pet Adoption Month is the perfect opportunity to meet pets searching for a new family,” Petspiration Foundation spokeswoman Sherralea Cassidy said.

Cob class at the almost-finished pavilion.

Volunteers at work on the cob-walled pavilion.

Pavilion builds up The final stage of construction of the Bendigo Bank Community Pavilion has begun in the Cooroy Community Gardens, and Permaculture Noosa is inviting you to join in - all feet and hands welcome. The walls of the pavilion are being made from cob, a natural building material of clay, aggregate and straw. The clay has been sourced on-site with the help of Ben and his excavator from BBC Hire in Tewantin, crusher dust/aggregate from Cooroy Landscape Supplies, and straw from Sauers Produce and Garden Centre. The walls will be completed over a series of cob workshops open to the public, hosted by experts in the field of natural building. Lunches have been donated by Cooroy Seasons IGA, and locals began stomping their feet two weeks ago and will continue for at least a month. The pavilion has been a three-year project with a clear vision from Eumundi architect Brett Grimley of Ecolibrium Designs, supported by the building expertise of Paul Stanke of Maxbuild. The build is of extraordinary quality, and includes locally-sourced ironbark and locally-made steel fittings. Permaculture Noosa must be congratulated for sticking with the project through the Covid years and spiralling building costs. In 2021 the members decided to invest the $115,000 they had in the bank (including $35,000 from the Community Gambling Fund and $25,000 from a Noosa Council Community and Environment Project grant) to lay the slab and purchase the timber and roofing. The project was underway though the future was uncertain. It sometimes seemed building costs were going up faster than the money was coming in. The fundraising team, led by Sandra Guy, has spent two years tirelessly gathering funds to complete the project, including barbecues at the Pomona Markets, raffles, plant and local honey sales, club dinners, movie nights, book sales, open gardens, worm farm workshops, Go Fund Me Page and more. A number of local businesses and philanthropists have also come on board with donations, including Countryside Noosa Reality, Frame Tree Custom Framing, Cooroy RSL, and the Walker Foundation. Bendigo Bank Cooroy came to the rescue

with an extremely generous $50,000 donation, but the project still needs community support for plumbing, electricity and a myriad of other details still to come. Local teams have come on board to help, including legendary electrician Bruce Forsyth, donating enormous amounts of time and expertise. This is a story of sharing a vision for the future and the community getting the job done. And the end is in sight. The next big job will be rendering the cob walls, with the help of Yandina’s RockCote, and fitting out the rooms. A refrigerator, stove and kitchen tables were purchased two years ago

through a Volunteering Queensland grant. Following on from this, the club will be preparing the Gardens for the grand opening event to be held in June. Watch this space. Please consider joining Permaculture Noosa, donating to the pavilion project, or signing up for one of our cob workshops to see how passionate we are about earth care, people care and fair share. Help us change the world, one small step (or stomp) at a time. Visit permaculturenoosa.com.au or email info@permaculturenoosa.com.au for more information.

Go Noosa free holiday buses are back for the Queensland Easter school holidays from 1 to 16 April. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to take advantage of the convenient and free services to explore all that Noosa Shire has to offer. Mayor Clare Stewart said whether people were travelling for work or recreation, the free holiday bus services offered a fun and stress-free way to travel around the shire. “Head down to the Peregian Beach markets on the hourly 064 service, plan a day trip to the hinterland on the 632 service to discover a new walking trail or climb Mt Cooroora, stop by the Noosa River on the way to Tewantin on the 626 or 627.” Don’t go loopy looking for a car park this Easter, park and ride the free electric 065 loop bus into Hastings Street from the AFL grounds on Weyba Road. “Residents and staff can avoid the stress and time of having to look for a car park in the busy Hastings Street precinct by hopping on board the free bus service. The more people who choose to park and ride or leave their car at home, the better the traffic will be, which will speed up the bus trip,” Cr Stewart said. “The electric loop bus is powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and provides a stress-free way to park and ride into the busy Hastings Street precinct. You can choose to park your car anywhere along the loop bus route and simply jump on.” The 065 loop bus service operates approximately every 15 minutes from 7am to 7pm and every 30 minutes from 7pm to 10pm. The 064 Peregian to Noosa Heads or 065 Loop bus services will run to their normal schedule on the public holidays. The Go Noosa free holiday bus program is delivered in partnership with Translink. For timetable information on routes 064, 065, 626, 627, 628, 629, and 632 download the Translink journey planner, visit the Translink website or call 13 12 30. Services 620, 622, 630 and 631 travel outside Noosa Shire and are not included in the free services.

Woombye means cheese By Erle Levey Mention the name Woombye and few in Australia would know what you mean. Yet all of this is about to change and could soon be the name on the lips of cheese fanciers across the country. Woombye Cheese is a small team that packs a punch with the volume they produce and how well they produce it. That has been recognised with the announcement of their Blackall Gold washed rind cheese as grand champion in the cheese category at the 2023 Australian Grand Dairy Awards. The awards, announced in Melbourne, are seen as the gold-medal event of the dairy industry. Woombye Cheese Company producer Beth O’Leary said the grand champion award was welcome recognition of the years of work that have gone into producing the perfect cheese. “Basically that means Australia’s best cheese,’’ Beth said at the West Woombye factory. “The awards were held in Melbourne and that is pretty much the home of dairy in Australia. “It was great for Queensland that we were recognised and really good for the dairy industry in general that a small player can take out an award like that. “I love that because we need to progress cheese in Australia.’’ While Woombye was a virtual unknown before, Beth is encouraging all small producers with a Say My Name campaign to encourage recognition of quality produce. “If you’re using it, you should nominate that,’’ Beth said, “whether it’s on a menu, on a delicatessen counter or on a cheese platter. “Even if you are just sharing it with friends, say it’s Woombye Cheese or whatever the produce is. “Word-of-mouth is how small businesses will survive and thrive.’’ Woombye is an indigenous word meaning the seed from the black myrtle, while another meaning is said to be “the place of the black snake“. The national award highlights what has been quite a year for the O’Leary family since taking over from the founders, the Paynter family who started the company in mid 2013. There were successes last year at Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Produce Show, and grand champion dairy product of show 2022 Royal Queensland Cheese and Dairy Awards. By winning a gold medal at Royal Queensland we went through to the national awards. “The comments we got on the night was that it was as good as anything in the world,’’ Beth said. “It’s based on a camembert cheese and is washed four times, so it’s labour-intensive. “It’s cared for and nurtured over a 17-18 day period. which gives the rind a different texture, taste and colour. “This intensifies the flavour - we still have ash brie, truffle, cheddar and triple cream brie

Woombye Cheese Company’s Beth O’Leary with cheesemaker Stefan Wilson and their Australian award-winning Blackall Gold washed rind cheese. 324719 but we are looking to do some collaborations specially through the curated plate promotion. “We are looking at making butter as well, but just on a small scale.’’ We are trying to get the cheese throughout Australia I love the fact that it’s got our name on it. Woombye is a little-known town and even some people on the Sunshine Coast don’t know where it is. “It’s really nice that we have a cheese with the town’s namesake.’’ Cheesemaker Stefan Wilson has been at Woombye Cheese for the nine years it has been in operation. He started with that recipe and consistently makes good cheese, Beth said. “Stefan is of immense value as he can sail the ship in calm waters but he can also sail it when things become stormy or chaotic. “We’re very lucky to have had him for this amount of time. “He’s so committed that he makes cheese and it’s a nice thing there’s not one million cheesemakers in the world - he must really love it.’’

Beth believes food should take time to enjoy, especially with people coming together and sharing it. There’s the whole romantic vision of eating cheese but also that it lets off endorphins in your brain that makes you happy. The secret to cheese-making success is persistence and confidence in your ability, Beth said. “What sets this cheese apart from others is the hard work, a lot of passion and keeping the consistency up. “Putting cheese into a competition is the way to peer evaluation. “If you take on board what the judges are saying, you may want to continue down that path and improve what you’re doing or you can take a whole new direction. “We were told the Blackall Gold is good as any European cheese which is a huge credit. “We are doing it really well.’’ Beth has accomplished a lot in the year at the helm of Woombye Cheese and really feels welcome in the community. “It has been a baptism of fire but I’ve loved every minute of it.

“I’ve really enjoyed the elements of having my own business - it’s filled with highs and lows but I’m enjoying that. “I feel like I’m really living with these ups and downs. I know there will always be something there to lift you up. “These experiences help set you up for other things in life. “With each thing that happens you are learning and I’m always looking for the positive. “Everyone has been so open and receptive to receptive to us - it’s a great place to do business. “The Sunshine Coast is having its moment and it’s such a collaborative vibe … gold medals in cheese like gold medals in sport. What makes Woombye cheese so good? “The team we have working with us, and the traditional cheese-making methods we use. “Our location is especially important as it gives us access to fresh milk direct from a fantastic dairy. “The milk is pasteurised but not processed and homogenised like milk from the shop.’’ That’s the top secret for making good cheese. Good milk. And taking the time to get it right - not rushing the process. “We are proud of all the cheeses we produce, and to have been awarded the grand champion cheese title is the cherry on top. “We have an amazing team behind us, and we are thrilled to be taking this achievement home to those who have been a part of its success. “This is the crew who are up early, collecting milk and creating magic with it.’’

All aboard Kimberley trip Michael Butler, the documentary filmmaker behind Australia’s iconic Aboriginal art car The Message Stick Vehicle, is hosting three exclusive, small group explorations of the Kimberley aboard pioneering expedition cruise company Heritage Expeditions luxurious flagship Heritage Adventurer during July and August. This is a rare opportunity to explore and experience the Kimberley’s rich Indigenous culture alongside Butler, who spent 15 years visiting more than 200 Aboriginal artists in the 1961 ex-military ambulance Land Rover vehicle as documented in the four-part ABC series and narrated by actors Jack Thompson and Hugo Weaving. “The Message Stick Vehicle played a crucial role in my journey around Australia, it started conversations and invitations for me to join these remote communities,” he said. “It was an incredibly humbling privilege to be welcomed and experience little-known customs and stories – it’s these experiences, insights and stories I’ll be sharing with my guests during the voyage.” Butler’s latest Kimberley voyages are aboard the luxurious, purpose-built 140-guest expedition vessel Heritage Adventurer exploring the Kimberley’s iconic ancient landscapes including King George and Horizontal Falls; Vansittart, Swift, Careening and Talbot Bays, Hunter River, Montgomery and Ashmore Reefs, Bigge and Lacepede Islands and more. “These expeditions will offer a truly immersive experience that is unlike anything else,” he said. “Guests joining me will gain a deep appreciation and understanding of the Kimberley, including meeting Aboriginal Rangers for an insight to their 30,000 year old culture, and the world famous Wandjina cave paintings, and will disembark with memories that will last a lifetime.” Michael will share the impact the journey had on him, the Indigenous communities he

On The Soapbox Councillor Amelia Lorentson

No support for park plan Why I supported the staff recommendation to approve the use of the Noosa Heads Lions Park Reserve for paid parking on a temporary basis over all Queensland school holidays and long weekends until 1 May 2024 and not the alternate motion. At last week’s ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to support an alternate motion that reduces the period of paid parking to the upcoming Easter and Christmas period only. (Upheld 4:3) What I said at the meeting: I am disappointed that the staff recommendation was not supported. The staff recommendation was a good plan, that would have enabled Council to make a considered and balanced decision about the future use of the park for carparking during peak periods. This is a greenspace and should be returned to a greenspace. But you can’t do this without a plan. And without options. Where are all these cars going to go? What does the community want? What we are now stuck with is an alternate plan that in my opinion has not been properly considered. What are the unintended consequences of the alternate motion (ie to reduce the period of paid carparking to Easter and Christmas only)? Will there be an overflow of carparking in residential areas, along Noosa Parade? Will there be more competition for the limited ex-

Noosa councillor Amelia Lorentson isting carparking spaces? What will be the impact on traffic network and congestion? What’s the impact on Hasting Street workers and

businesses? The lifeguards and volunteers? Also, what impact will it have on the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club. I spoke with the Lions Club after general meeting, and no surprise, they were upset at Monday’s general meeting decision to go against the staff recommendation to approve the use of the Noosa Heads Lions Park Reserve for paid parking on a temporary basis over all Queensland school holidays and long weekends until 1 May 2024 at last week’s general meeting. The decision to support the alternate motion (4:3) reduces the period of paid parking to the upcoming Easter and Christmas period only. The impact on the Lions Club, will be significant. In fact, it has been estimated that the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club will lose approximately $65,000 through the gate and approximately $30,000 in profits to the club with the reduction of the mid-term and September school holidays. Said another way, our community will lose these funds as every dollar raised by the Lions Club goes directly back into community projects such as the all access beach mat at Main Beach, the Seahorse Nipper program, personal care packs for those in needs, bladder scanners for Noosa Care and so on. Last year, the club gave back into the community approximately $60,000 and have already donated that back this year and estimate

over $80,000 will be donated when the club finishes their financial year in June. They gave money to various Lions’ organisations like hearing dogs and various national Lions’ projects but as an organisation’s direction this is limited to 20 per cent of funds raised. That means 80 per cent of what the Noosa Lions Club raises goes into the local community. Without some major changes to the structure of the current arrangements they will not be able to recoup the lost revenue. And that is upsetting for both the club and our community. I am hoping that my amendment to offer assistance to transition to the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club in sourcing future fundraising opportunities as they become available will provide some opportunity for the club to recoup the lost revenue. And finally, food for thought. Is charging visitors to temporarily park (until May 2024) during peak holiday periods only, in an open space that most locals are not likely to use nor access during peak holiday periods, and using those funds towards local projects, taking from the community or giving back to the community? Although I did not support the alternate motion, I accept the decision made by the majority of council on this matter. Please note this is my personal opinion and does not represent the position of council.

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

Smooth transition of CEO At last Thursday’s Ordinary meeting Councillors unanimously supported my mayoral motion to appoint Infrastructure Director Larry Sengstock as acting chief executive officer until June 2024 to ensure it is business as usual following the resignation of CEO Scott Waters who has accepted the role of CEO of Moreton Bay Regional Council. Larry Sengstock’s appointment will ensure stability and continuity of services now and during the run up and beyond the local government elections in March 2024. Mr Sengstock steps in to work with our executive team to deliver the council transformation program Noosa 2.0 in liaison with councillors as well as to deliver our Destination Management Plan, the 2023-2024 Budget, the Corporate Plan, and our crucial Housing Strategy. Prior to moving to Noosa Mr Sengstock held senior roles at Latrobe City Council, delivered Victoria’s $57 million Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre and a $19 million transformation of Traralgon Sports Stadium. Mr Sengstock is no stranger to the role of CEO here in Noosa as he was acting CEO for four months in 2021 prior to Scott Waters’ arrival. Short Stay Local Law actions Noosa Council has reviewed the operations and outcomes of the Short Stay Letting and Home Hosted Accommodation Local Law after 12 months of it being introduced to regulate short stay letting. In response to community concerns, we

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart were the first council in Queensland to regulate short stay letting and we’re making solid progress. Council just approved annual renewal fees which will contribute to cost recovery to end dependency on council rates. Two temporary compliance officers will be engaged to help work through the backlog of applications, caused by the significant volume received when the short stay letting law was introduced. They will also contribute to enforcement and identification of unapproved short stay properties and speed up the approv-

als process which the letting industry has been calling for. About 2500 property owners have applied to short stay let under the local law in the first 12 months which is a good result. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (Victoria), which services a population of over 170,000, processed 2500 short stay applications in just under three years, a benchmark Noosa Council has greatly exceeded. As part of the Local Law, we’ve been able to implement a code of conduct for short stay guests, compile a database of short-stay properties, record the nominated contact people for each, deal with complaints, and begin to identify owners not playing by the rules. New council branding After 30 years and to complement the new Corporate Plan currently on Your Say Noosa for community feedback until 26 March, Council has undergone a brand refresh. The evolution of the brand has been a local affair with Peregian Beach based business Saturate providing its design expertise. The new look respects the integrity of the iconic Boronia wildflower, which was part of the 1990 design, while providing a contemporary identity that clearly portrays a modern, agile and customer centric organisation. Council will refresh the brand on a very gradual basis, only as it replaces supplies, equipment, and signage. The rebranding was fully covered within the corporate plan budget. Eastern Beaches consultation extended Council has extended the consultation pe-

riod for the draft Eastern Beaches Foreshore Reserve Management Plan until 31 March. I welcome everyone to have a say. Our eastern beaches stretch over 11.5 km and cover approximately 122 hectares along the open ocean beaches from Sunshine Beach to Peregian Beach and are an incredibly significant part of our coastal landscape which needs both protection and enhancement.

The aim of the Noosa Heritage Review is to capture the places, features and memories across the shire, from the coast to the hinterland, that are important in telling the story of the Noosa region. Community input will help council recognise, celebrate, and conserve the special places and features we want to cherish and keep for our future generations. It can be anything from a special tree, a street, a unique building to photos or a local story. 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. Until next month, stay safe, Clare.

When it comes to death or catastrophic injuries, stairs are recently the modus operandi of choice. After Toni Collette’s thriller The Staircase (the title doesn’t beat around the bush) and Keeley Hawe’s Finding Alice (a longtime couple move into their dream home, only for the shiny abode’s stairs to prove deadly), comes this six-part British psychological drama. Jo (Connie Nielsen, Gladiator) must piece together the past year of her life after a horrendous fall down her home’s stairs wipes her memory. Flashbacks and clues ignite a storm of mystery, and everyone including her husband Rob (Christopher Eccleston, pictured with Nielsen) and best friend Cathy (Susan Lynch) must watch their step.

Host Matt Gibb (pictured) travels to diverse locations in regional New Zealand, showcasing three different abodes to couples who are keen to escape the rat race. “The prices seem like a mistake compared to property prices in Auckland. It’s amazing what you can get for your money,” he quips. Viewers in Australian capital cities will be equally shocked by the prices (and the stunning landscapes): get ready to pack your bags. Tonight, he ventures to Waipukurau with Jenny and Dougal, who want a country home with space for their horses.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

Great Walk at pointy end Following on from last month’s column and further questions relating to Native Title and other processes, we have had multiple meetings including with the Department of Resources and the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, a Parliamentary Question Without Notice to Minister Crawford, and have been endeavouring to secure a meeting with our Federal MP Llew O’Brien as much we are querying rests at a Commonwealth level. In my recent Adjournment Speech to Parliament, I outlined why the Cooloola Great Walk project should not receive final approvals until the dissent and questions within our community and between Kabi Kabi have been resolved through respectful truth telling. This is appropriate given the Department of Environment and Science (DES) are awaiting the lodgement of a detailed proposal for this project to assess. Why is this important? To ensure the return of Kabi to country is free of any negativity and provide a solid platform on the journey to Path to Treaty. You can find links to speeches and questions under the Parliament tab at sandybolton.com, with all speeches also shared to facebook.com/SandyBoltonNoosa We will continue to update to Noosa360 which also has information on many local matters, and I encourage those new to our community to search for topics of interest. Four years of advocacy to see improvements in the management of the Cooloola Recreation Area and surrounds, and we are finally at the pointy end. The proposed management changes from DES’s recent briefing to the Teewah Cooloola 26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 March, 2023

Working Group (TCWG), are not able to be shared this week as hoped. Instead, the TCWG will provide a response to DES prior to these going before the Minister. This will allow us to consider the original submission from the TCWG as several items sought back then have since been implemented such as the increased police patrols and joint compliance efforts at peak periods, and operation Sandstorm. As well, the installation of number plate recognition cameras at the beach entrance ensuring vehicles have correct permits, and use of the mother drone to rapidly respond to incident reports to obtain the necessary footage from a distance, even at night-time, to see those responsible held accountable. The mandatory portable toilets have also been implemented in efforts to protect our environment, and while not popular with campers, restrictions on campfires will continue to protect visitors from accidentally receiving substantial burns while walking on sand covering hot coals, including children, and reduce the risk of bushfires. However, these efforts do not address the realities we have experienced from a small cohort that continue to do the wrong thing through dangerous behaviours and trashing our home, nor the unsustainable volume being experienced. For those following my efforts in Parliament over the years or reading our updates, especially during the Budget Estimates process, you would have heard me speak about the need for updated permit booking systems to manage day numbers, as done with campers, and integrated systems between Queensland Parks

and Wildlife Service (QPWS) and Queensland Police (QPS) to better manage repeat offenders. In addition, the importance of getting communications to all areas impacted, and we are awaiting updates from Noosa Council on an application for funding under the Federal Government’s Mobile Black Spot Program. Even though the presentation from DES was confidential, I can share what was a general update given separately. Items covered included data that shows, thankfully, a drop off to the explosion of day permit numbers experienced since the Covid lockdowns ended with a reduction also in camper nights, and that compliances on portable toilets and camper etiquette were good (again, except for that cohort I referred to earlier) Interestingly, of the 93 per cent of permits were issued to Queenslanders, the majority are from within the Sunshine Coast and Gympie regions. With QPWS and QPS officers taking a zero tolerance approach to driving/parking on dunes, dangerous driving, illegal campfires and camping, dogs, unauthorised organised events and mandatory portable toilets, please ensure any visiting friends and family are aware of this, and that forgetting to buy a permit will result in an automatic $215 fine, courtesy of the Number Plate Recognition Cameras. While there is still much to be frustrated about, I remind myself of what has and is being achieved. In addition, the solid commitment of the very diverse TCWG members, continuing as they were prior to Covid, working collaboratively to ensure better outcomes.

With MPs and Mayors from both Noosa and Gympie, as well representatives from residents’ associations, environmental groups and First Nations people, I have no doubt that the response to DES will encapsulate the common grounds we share, which is meeting our communities’ expectations in creating greater experiences and protections for all, including our turtle hatchlings! So where to now? TCWG are preparing a response while we await verification from the government on what can be implemented immediately, and what will take longer, for which there will also be community consultation. Timeframe? A good question. We are all over the waiting, as this long haul should never have been, pandemics or other excuses aside. As with so much that has been delayed through the disruptions of fires, Covid, floods, Native Title and other, I have put on my Christmas wish list that any of the longer timeframe implementations be piloted before the end of the year. Until then, we must each do what we can until there are appropriate solutions in place which includes continuing to report offenders to ensure that they are held accountable, and that policing resources match the need. As always, don’t forget to check our Friday night FB posts which contain any new updates to Noosa 360 (sandybolton.com/noosa360) and for anyone wishing to add to advocacies on these matters above, please email the Environment Minister via environment@ministerial.qld.gov.au and cc my office via noosa@ parliament.qld.gov.au

Noosa opens the door to magical world of Narnia Noosa will be opening the door to magic during the upcoming Easter holidays with the help of Little Seed Theatre Company and Noosa Arts Theatre. The pair are partnering to bring C.S Lewis’ timeless classic, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardobe, to life. Four siblings are sent away from home during the blitz of WWII. They are sent to be watched over by old Professor Kirke, who owns a massive mansion. Once there, they stumble upon an enormous wardrobe which transports them to the world of Narnia. Narnia itself was once a peaceful realm filled with talking animals, fauns, giants and dwarves that is now under a cursed eternal winter by the villainous White Witch. With aid from the majestic lion Aslan, the four children lead Narnia into an all out war as they fight to outwit the Witch and restore peace to the land. The cast features 24 local performers aged seven to 17. Naire MacDonald plays the White White and may be familiar to audiences who have seen her onstage at the J in a Little Seed Muiscal: as Pugsley in The Addams Family as Babette in Beauty and the Beast or as Carmen Diaz in FAME. Naire, in her final year at St Andrew’s Anglican College, is also a regular player at Little Seed’s Shakespeare at the Lake and will later this year star as Katherine in Taming of the Shrew. The talented young cast have the support of Noosa Arts Theatre’s team of artists and builders who are doing a beautiful job of creating the set for Narnia. Any production needs any army behind it and as Little Seed and Noosa Arts Theatre partner together for the first time, they are collectively working to bring the magical world of Narnia to our doorstep in Noosa.

Respect opinons of others I am responding to two articles, one by Sandy Bolton and another by Phil Jarratt in Noosa Today 24 February. The response is a little late, but still important, as there are many anomalies in the above articles concerning the Cooloola Great Walk. The “jungle drums” of the “one or two environmental groups” to which Phil alludes is more a symphony of despair from at least 10 local environment groups. The current Change Petition has received over 15,000 signatures. Individual formal objections are accumulating and just short of 5000 signatures were received to the initial Parliamentary Petition that closed in 2022. A growing section of the community is obviously very disturbed by this project. Michael Lamprell has no regard for community concerns, turning a deaf ear to environmental groups. It is demeaning to be invited to “experience what this place means to Kabi Kabi”. Many Kabi do not want this project to go ahead and those of us who bother to listen know exactly what this place means to them. They are referred to as “the others” and are ignored. They deserve to be listened to. Recently I was asked by our State Member, Sandy Bolton, to put together some questions concerning the CGW. Many were gleaned from a recent Kabi Grandmother Gathering at Inskip Point. Two of these questions were: Why has the development process failed to observe Grandmother Law by not specifically engaging and consulting with Kabi women upon the consideration and approval of the development overall and the particular sites? Why were men included in the site assessment and selection around the Sacred Women’s area of Lake Poona? There were a number of other questions which I hope will be fully revealed by Sandy Bolton in this paper in the fullness of time! These questions were requested in response to a previous article I wrote in Noosa Today, so people have a right to know what they are and how they are answered. In a perfect world perhaps we could all, “come together and find common ground to move forward”, as Sandy puts it. This will only happen when there is openness, honesty and proper, meaningful consultation. I don’t do Facebook, but I’m aware of some of the material that is there. Constantly denigrating people who are angry and frustrated only promotes more anger and frustration. The residents of Rainbow Beach, who I imagine were the ones referred to by Sandy as “outside our electorate”, are rightly angry and concerned about the CGW and the implications it has for the rest of our National Parks. They are on the frontline, so to speak and already have to contend with the gross mismanagement of the beach from North Shore to Double Island Point and beyond. The area is an embarrassment and a disgrace. The dunes are wrecked and being used as toilets. Due to excessive traffic, the beaches are unsafe for families. Government and councils refuse to do anything. Now, in their wisdom, they want to further desecrate the environment by throwing an eco-tourism project into the mix. No wonder the “outsiders” are angry! I would suggest if Sandy Bolton doesn’t like their comments, listen to what they are saying instead of labelling their comments as “detrimental and destructive” and insinuating they are against reconciliation. Those comments build division and show no respect for the opinions of others. Kathy Sweet, Tewantin See Sandy Bolton’s Cooloola Great Walk at pointy end, page 26

Greenfleet delivers on climate action I write in response to the letter from Dr Jim Porter (10 February). Greenfleet is a 25-year-old charity supported by thousands of individuals and hundreds of companies. We receive no government funding, and our extensive restoration of Australia’s native forests comes at no cost to taxpayers. We are focused on delivering climate action and do not provide carbon offsetting for existing or new fossil fuel industries. Our work is audited by Pitcher Partners and EY. Spanning two sites located on Kabi Kabi Country in the Noosa Hinterland, Yurol and Ringtail Forests make up around 2400 hectares. We are helping with their transition to protected National Park while restoring 1100 hectares with native species.

There was a lot of early morning fog in the Noosa hinterland, so much so that dense fog blanketed the countryside at Cootharaba, said Leanne Airey who captured this image of it. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au

In 2021, Greenfleet signed a momentous Indigenous Land Use Agreement with the Kabi Kabi Peoples Aboriginal Corporation to responsibly deliver this project. We are also working closely with other project partners including Noosa and District Landcare, Noosa Shire Council, Noosa Parks Association, and the Queensland Government. Greenfleet’s work at Yurol and Ringtail Forests will remove carbon, restore koala habitat, and assist Kabi Kabi to become more independent. We’re committed to delivering sustainable and long-term climate action through projects such as this and welcome discussion about our work. I am happy to discuss this project and Greenfleet’s wider work with you directly. Wayne Wescott, CEO, Greenfleet

Common sense and kindness What a drama for your correspondents Webb and Elgin...and their criticism of travellers, mainly young people seeing Australia (could be our children or grandchildren travelling in another country ) and bad luck for the Webb family and particularly when the person didn’t apologise on behalf of whoever made the mess... but as was commented by a local that backpackers often clean up after our P platers. The fact that we lock up the public toilets at night to prevent their use by travellers / backpackers and locals who might wish to spend time after dark at the spit or elsewhere and need a toilet in a hurry, beggars belief that in a first world country we deny people the use of our toilets after dark. Has bureaucratic red tape taken over from what remains of common sense and kindness? This letter brings to mind a letter to the editor some years ago when a correspondent complained bitterly that these backpackers had used the power inadvertently left on after a triathlon event... (it was calculated they had “stolen“ power totalling $23.67). As long time locals, my wife and I recently met and befriended a couple of backpackers and invited them to our barbecue but were somewhat taken aback that in three months travelling in Australia we were the first Australians they had any meaningful contact with. Over the years we have been privileged to host many of these these young people/backpackers and found them to courteous and interesting, a delight to share time with ... and thanks to the Noosa Today team for presenting the Spit scene in such a positive and objective light. M.Hill, Noosa

Noise not just from STAs I would like to provide a different side to the STA noise blame game. I have live behind a resort for 23 years. We have tolerated party noise, after dark tennis court usage, after dark pool noise, gas trucks at 6.30am, industrial bin collection at 6.30am, guests noisily arriving at all hours and more. The present manager is not proactive in keeping noise generated to a reasonable level for the amenity of the surrounding residents. When I have approached the council about this I was told they were only interested in any units that are AirBnB. Why? Aren’t the majority of resort units used for STA? AirBnB is just one platform that cops all the flack. I was advised to contact the body corporate. I sent an extensive email to a corporation in Maroochydore outlining my concerns and the rude responses I have received from the manager when asking him to check on guest noise. I have had no response from the body corporate. I am asking the council: what do I do now? Who do I contact when screaming, partying and unacceptable noise disturbs the neighbourhood? Name supplied, Noosaville

Thanks for donations I would like to thank all those who dropped money into the old ice cream container in Sweet Story for their contributions. It was only for loose change from a cup of coffee but raised over $525 in about a week. $475 went to the people affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and the remainder went to assist the animal rescuers. Thanks to the locals and visitors who helped. Bob (name supplied), Noosaville

More police wanted People enquire about why law abusers are not apprehended by the police. Does anyone actually see any police? Time and time again, every day I see escooters and bike riders with no helmets and at the same time on the phone or having a coffee. I travel quite a bit up and down the highways and roads and very rarely do I see any police presence anywhere. I do think that police who catch a law breaker only give a warning when it should be an on the spot fine. We can whinge all we want but if there are no police around then law breakers just don’t care. Pete Holgate, Noosa

There’s been much said and written lately about protecting our endangered species, our Noosa Eastern Beaches foreshores and our Biosphere - all worthy goals to be congratulated. But my wife and I were shocked when we visited Castaways Beach via Access 42 last Saturday evening, to discover literally hundreds, perhaps thousands, of tiny black baby cane toads scurrying around the edges of the stagnating black water impounded near the base of the aluminium stairway. One of our dogs snapped at the toads but we think we stopped her from actually picking any up in her mouth. Just upstream from the stairway, a bloke was smashing something in the water with a piece of driftwood while his young daughter looked on. It appeared to be an adult toad he was killing. We returned again the following evening planning to snap some photos of the toad invasion but the hordes of babies seemed to have largely dissipated, with only a few stragglers to be seen. But where did they go? Had they already made it into the grassy banks upstream to grow and multiply, or had they been eaten by sea birds or other native animals? If so, what might the effects of that be? Long-term residents have informed me that the creek once flowed straight out to sea upstream of where the access stairway was constructed a few years ago, and nature is moving again to gradually erode the high bank on the ocean side. That would stop water from ponding at the base of the stairs and stagnating until it gradually dries up. It would stop cane toads further invading our natural environment including the nearby National Park. But why wait for nature? Publicity and public pressure saw our council recently act to open the mouth of Burgess Creek straight out to sea just to the north. An hour or so with an end mover excavator could accomplish the same thing and remove a health and environmental hazard at Castaways Creek. Too logical for the powers that be? John Mikkelsen, Noosa

More public input in plan It was pleasing to read the Mayor’s recent opinion piece (Noosa Today March 17), especially her comments around Noosa Council being “resident-focussed”. However, there is concern that Noosa Council’s consultation on the draft Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan is merely a box-ticking exercise, with no intention to genuinely heed any resident feedback that contrasts with the proposed plan. In 2021 council publicly stated that stormwater and creek erosion issues would be addressed through this plan. In April 2022 a petition was submitted to council that had garnered over 2000 signatures calling for council to fix the stormwater erosion and pollution issues. To this day, council has still not acted on that petition. The calls of those 2000 people have simply fallen on deaf ears. Council has now backflipped, stating that erosion of the dunes and beach caused by council discharging stormwater into the creeks is not included in the scope of this coastal management plan. Council is disregarding community feedback that the erosion is a key issue to be addressed in this plan and says the creek issues will be addressed elsewhere but they are not. The council repeatedly avoids taking action and blatantly disregards the overwhelming community sentiment. Secondly, the council is using misleading tactics to promote statistics about encroachments without providing context about which areas or houses were assessed, or the nature and extent of the alleged encroachments. This is designed to alarm the community and focus solely on encroachments as a main issue of the plan. If the council truly prioritises the interests of its residents, they should genuinely collaborate with the community to formulate a new plan that serves the long-term lifestyle and economic interests of Noosa ratepayers as well as the many visitors who come to enjoy our beaches and coast each year.

RoboRAVE Australia 2022 on the Sunshine Coast.

RoboRAVE returns Cleverly engineered robots climbing vertical surfaces, battling in sumo arenas, and negotiating mazes is just some of the excitement you can see at a RoboRAVE. RoboRAVE is an international series of competitive robotics events held around the world, with challenges aimed at students from primary up to university and adults. Competitors need to design, build and program a fully autonomous robot to complete a given task, like using vision technology to follow lines and track objects. RoboRAVE Australia is an annual robotics competition run by a team of volunteers at Pro Active Robotics, a hub of state and private schools operating on the Sunshine Coast, and in its fourth year has introduced the new MegaBot Challenge for the 2023 International Open. RoboRAVE Australia and Sunshine Coast Council are encouraging participants and volunteers to secure tickets once registrations open in April ahead of the RoboRAVE competition in July. Pro Active Robotics has worked with Ro-

boCoast to increase the capacity of robotics and engineering education on the coast with more than 5500 students, 1000 teachers and 170 schools benefiting from their robotics program since 2017. Sunshine Coast Council Economy Portfolio Councillor Terry Landsberg said council supported Pro Active Robotics’ objectives to promote the uptake of robotics and coding through staff and student training days, school visits and a range of fun competitions. “We want to see real opportunities addressing youth skills development for future and emerging industries, ensure higher education and reskilling opportunities for adults, and develop career pathways for graduates within our region,” Cr Landsberg said. “It has helped forge world-class robotics teams such as Chancellor State College’s RoboRoyals, who received support from council to travel to Houston, Texas to represent Australia at the World Championships in 2019. “They placed second in one of the most prestigious categories on a world stage. “Hosting this competition continues to

build the Sunshine Coast’s status as a centre of excellence for robotics and technology, as well as profile our region to an international and interstate market.” RoboRAVE Australia President Tim Hadwen said RoboRAVE Australia provided students with a great way to test their robotics skills and learn from other students. “In 2023 we expect even more students to travel from interstate and overseas to compete,” Mr Hadwen said. “This year we’ve also added new competitions and will have our biggest event yet leading up to the World Championships in 2024.” The Australian event on 15-16 July is supported by Sunshine Coast Council through the major events sponsorship program and is expected to attract 1500 participants. Further sponsorship opportunities are available for like-minded businesses. In 2024, the Sunshine Coast will be the host location for RoboRAVE World Championship, which will attract up to 4000 participants from around the world.

Are you a closet recluse? A highly unusual new book by Queensland author, Tony Matthews delves deeply into the persona of the solitudinous introvert and reveals the true character of those who prefer to remain in the background, observing the world generally but rarely taking part in it. Invisible — the Essential Guide for Aliens Stranded on Earth, is a frank and, at times, intensely funny examination of what it’s like to be a quiet, reclusive introvert in a world that generally likes to party loudly and excessively. Based on the author’s own experiences as an introvert, recluse and vegan, and his relentless thirst for understanding, Tony takes us on a fascinating mystery tour. Utilising the tools of bone-cutting humour, his ongoing quest to become virtually invisible to the world has been an astonishing, life-changing journey where solitude is almost a physical place. The book begins with a look at a young boy’s life as seen through the somewhat distorted prism of a satirical lens. “When I was a kid I’d regularly hide in a cupboard under the stairs and pretend that I was the sole survivor left on earth after a zombie apocalypse. I couldn’t help it. I just liked to be alone,” Tony said. “I was drawn to seclusion like a mouse is drawn to cheesesticks. “It’s always been a part of who I am. I wanted to write about that in a frank and honest way but also humorously because I knew that there were loads of introverts and recluses out there who still feel that they are a bit strange because they are so different. Not only did I want to use my words to try to broaden our understanding of what it’s like to live as an introvert in a world that likes to party excessively, but I also wanted to let all the introverts know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing odd socks all your life or madly running to the left while everyone else is running to the right. “It’s OK to be different.” In his book Tony introduces a tapestry of reclusive characters who either shaped or influenced his early life including several rather potty aunts — one of whom, apparently, could speak with the dead. Tony also spends periods of his summer vacations in a Stone Age cave where, crawling like a badger into a narrow tunnel, he quite remarkably discovers the fossilised remains of a million year old pterodactyl. Among many other aspects of life faced by the typical introvert, Tony also introduces the Zone of Absolute Terror, otherwise known as the much feared ZAT. This is a place that all introverts have to visit on occasion, usually when starvation eventually drives them out of hiding. Public speaking, dealing with checkout operators or answering the door to salesmen are all classed as major ZATs. Curiously, the author demonstrates that reclusive people also make great secret service agents, and he tells of how he was once ridiculously headhunted by the CIA. The book not only discusses what it’s like to live as an introvert and recluse but Tony also writes about some of the most interesting, weirdest and wackiest recluses in history.

As a boy Tony Matthews often explored caves.

Tony Matthews in his broadcasting days. Utilising the tools of incisive humour, Tony strips away the myths and legends surrounding those who embrace a vegan and reclusive lifestyle, while at the same time exposing a dysfunctional array of issues. For example, sometimes we all have to pretend to be people we are not. More than occasionally, introverts have to appear to be extroverts and, astonishingly, the reverse is also true. Who would have believed that introverts actually make rather good military commanders because not only can they think calmly and quietly but they also like sitting in darkened rooms where they can’t be seen, remotely guiding operations in locations that might be tens of thousands of miles away. It’s a strange form of highly improbable invisibility. Tony also introduces his readers to a whole gaggle of truly peculiar recluses and hermits — all quaintly gentle and socially invisible relics

of another age, and almost, it seems, of some parallel universe. These are some of the curiously different characters the author has met personally, or has researched during his work as a prolific writer, historian and ABC radio broadcaster. What he doesn’t do in his book is offer advice to other introverts. “People who are naturally introverted, and especially those who are reclusive, like me, have probably been on the receiving end of advice all their lives and I expect they don’t need any more from me,” he said. “My book, however, outlines how I have dealt with being an introverted reclusive vegan and animal rights campaigner, and I hope that in discussing my experiences so openly, I’ll be giving others the confidence and strength to continue their own introverted and reclusive lifestyles without having to feel guilt or re-

Noosa Everglades’ sustainable tour operator, Kanu Kapers has now donated over $5000 to support the regeneration of local koala habitat. The funds were raised by customer donations under their carbon offset scheme which was launched in 2019. Kanu Kapers uses an online carbon calculator called EcoTree to work out the approximate carbon usage for a vehicle travelling to their launch site near Boreen Point and ask customers to donate that sum to fund trees for koalas when they purchase their eco tours. The money is then given to koala charity, Queenland Koala Crusaders, who use it to plant and maintain the trees. Kanu Kapers owner Vivienne Golding said, “The scheme is extremely popular with our guests, especially since we added it to our on-

Caloundra resident Keven Jones and his team from the Maroochydore Defence Force Recruiting Centre are set to participate in The Kokoda Challenge, a gruelling endurance event that honours the sacrifices of Australian soldiers during the 1942 Kokoda Campaign in Papua New Guinea. The event, which takes place on Anzac Day weekend, aims to raise funds for local youth programs that change the lives of young people in the Sunshine Coast community. Keven, a Warrant Officer Class Two who has served in the army since he was 17 years old, has a personal connection to the Kokoda Campaign, having been born in Port Moresby in 1975, the year that Papua New Guinea became independent from Australia. His grandfather also served in the army during WWII and helped Australian soldiers during the campaign. The Maroochydore Defence Force teams are participating in The Kokoda Challenge to pay their respects to the fallen Diggers and to support local youth programs in the Sunshine Coast community. The funds raised from the event will go towards the Kokoda Youth Foundation’s Digital Detox Youth Program, which helps mentor kids in the local community who are struggling with digital dependency. According to Keven, “Our team is honoured to participate in The Kokoda Challenge and support a great cause. We hope to inspire others to push their limits and overcome challenges, just like the Diggers did during the Kokoda campaign.” The Kokoda Youth Foundation was founded by Vietnam veteran Doug Hender-

Masters lift the silverware By Brian Hoepper In a Masters swimming club, the most jealously-guarded object is the champion club trophy awarded at the club’s annual swim meet. Without fail, club members rally around to defend their trophy from raiding parties launched by rival clubs. At the recent Hervey Bay meet, the Noosa Masters team breached the host team’s defences and returned home with the splendid trophy. Even though outnumbered by Hervey Bay swimmers, Noosa’s 15 athletes topped the overall points table. The 15 collected four gold medals, four silver and three bronze. Most notable was the trio of Noosa women who filled all three places on the podium in their age group. In the face of the Noosa triumph, the Hervey Bay hosts were gracious and generous. The Noosa team was warmly invited to return in 2024, although the invitation perhaps hinted at Hervey Bay’s aim to get square. For Noosa Masters, the Hervey Bay meet is a perennial favourite. The team stays the weekend, sampling the increasingly impressive attractions of the beachside city. In late March, a Noosa team will be heading to Mackay for the three-day Masters State Championships. Hervey Bay provided an excellent dress rehearsal for Mackay.

Noosa Masters team at Hervey Bay last Saturday.

1500 line up for second staging of Noosa Ultra-Trail From page 1 Joining Kellie as race ambassadors are Craig Alexander (five times World Triathlon Champion and 12 times Australian Triathlon Champion), Matt Golinski (nationally recognised celebrity chef and Noosa local) and Kat Harding (yoga instructor and Noosa local). Across the weekend, a range of fantastic lifestyle activities give event participants the opportunity to experience the best of Noosa alongside ambassadors. These activities include the fantastic Women in Sport Lunch, held Friday 24 March at Peppers Noosa, featuring guest speaker, athlete Simone Hayes (amongst many achievements, Simone completed the notorious Western States 100 mile endurance run in California in July 2022), a casual pre-race run and a complimentary yoga class for participants, family snd friends. The event is a key drawcard for tourism to the Noosa region, with 85 per cent of participants located outside the area. The festival nature of the weekend encourages participants to bring friends and family to enjoy the incredible food and beverage offerings, shopping and scenery that Noosa is famous for. Race organisers have worked closely with Tourism Noosa to promote the unique and diverse natural landscapes of the locality, including the pristine Hinterland that is home to the ultra-trail itself. As a leader in environmental sustainability practices, and a world recognised Biosphere, Noosa has a number of programs in place to reduce its waste, carbon footprint and impacts on flora and fauna in its national parks and state forests. The Noosa Ultra-Trail Sustainability Strategy proudly supports these initiatives and encourages all participants to be considerate of the environment and conscious of their choices. In recognition of the natural inhabitants of the Noosa Hinterland, a photo opportunity with a koala will be offered on the morning of 25 March within the race precinct. In what is believed to be a world first for adaptive athletes, Natasha Price, elite adaptive athlete (QLD State Champion, international marathon winner and Gold Coast Women of the Year Champion of Sport 2022) will make history when she completes a modified 10km version of the Forest 15km course with her coach Adam Sheppard. This historic moment takes place within the Year of Accessible Tourism, part of the Towards Tourism 2023 Strategy to make Queensland a destination for people of all abilities. 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 March, 2023

The 2023 Noosa Ultra-Trail will take place from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 March. Noosa Ultra-Trail participants have the unique opportunity to experience the best of Noosa Hinterland, running through the stunning landscape, along quiet country roads and taking in the exquisite charm of towns such as Kin Kin, Pomona, Cooroy and Tewantin.

The race precinct, located in Tewantin, welcomes runners back to an exciting atmosphere, with international food trucks and well deserved beverages from Noosa Hinterland Brewing Co and Dingo Creek Wines on offer. The Noosa Ultra-Trail team look forward

to delivering another successful event, continuing to drive sustainable tourism to the Noosa region, and encouraging everyone to experience the challenge and enjoyment of trail running. For more information, visit noosaultratrail.com.au

Noosa is 100th KX studio KX Pilates (KX) has hit a new milestone that will make it the first Australian brand to open 100 Reformer Pilates studios. The brand counts six international studios and 94 Australian-based studios, with Noosa taking the title as the 100th location. Founded in Australia, KX has continued to grow its dynamic workout both locally and overseas. With a focus on the Asia Pacific region, KX has already expanded across New Zealand, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, and is soon to launch in Singapore. In 2023, a further 15 studios are on the cards to open, and 2024 is forecasted to be bigger than ever for the global business. Despite the challenges of COVID, 2022 saw some of the largest sales months on record, now reporting 10,000 active clients each week – a catalyst for the business to achieve its longterm growth plans. KX Pilates chief executive officer Selina Bridge said, “It’s been a joy to see the hard work of our franchise partners and trainers come to life. We run 5000 classes per week, so to be able to invite more communities locally and abroad to experience the benefits of our Reformer Pilates is incredibly rewarding.“ “This year we’re sharpening our focus on training and education to ensure our franchise partners have the tools and resources to support the KX Trainers in delivering our worldclass dynamic workout at scale. “All our franchise partners have a passion for Pilates, health and wellbeing and the KX brand. These three elements are key to ensure all clients receive a top tier experience and get the most of their 50-minute classes. This also includes training through our KX Academy, our proprietary education program for all trainers before they begin their KX careers.” From humble beginnings opening its first studio in Malvern, Victoria in 2010, KX has maintained its vision in driving positive change in communities through Reformer Pilates.

KX Pilates (KX) has hit a new milestone that will make it the first Australian brand to open 100 Reformer Pilates studios. KX Pilates founder Aaron Smith said, “It’s surreal to be reaching this milestone and even more exciting to think about the future of KX and what’s still to come.“ “I had the pleasure of opening the 100th studio in Noosa alongside my wife, Andi. To pause and reflect on what KX means to us and our entire community was incredible. “In terms of what’s next, we’re really look-

ing at education and opportunities to innovate the product. The KXFormer – our KX exclusive proprietary Reformer bed – formed part of this. We’re continually looking to evolve and the KXFormer offers our clients a more challenging workout – and continuing to deliver on our brand promise is why clients can trust that we’re delivering a product that rewards both

Your say on landscape plan Family fun day as Tigers’ launch their new season One of the most consistent surf breaks on the Sunshine Coast is fringed by a grassy beachfront and popular parkland, which is a delight for locals and visitors alike. Backed by a shopping and entertainment strip and fronting the sparkling foam of Coolum Beach are Lions Park and Norrie Job Park, two adjacent parks located off David Low Way. The seaside favourites are about to be revamped to enhance the opportunities in the parks even more. Sunshine Coast Council Division 9 Councillor Maria Suarez said that following previous community engagement, the community could now provide further feedback on the landscape plan’s design. “Not many of us know, but this popular Coolum park is actually two parks, with the eastern portion of the open space named after Norrie Job, an office bearer with the Coolum Surf Lifesaving club who worked to promote and develop the club in the 1930s,” Cr Suarez said. “Then there is Lions Park adjacent to Council’s Coolum Beach Holiday Park and the iconic surf beach. “This important green space, between the

beach and the road, needs a freshen up to make it more welcoming and accessible for all our community. “I would like to thank park users, residents, businesses, and visitors for participating in two rounds of community engagement in 2016 and 2022 and working with council to develop a shared landscape plan. “The planned upgrade will be staged over several years and reflects Coolum’s ‘unplugged’ way of life – and we want to hear what you think before 3 April by completing the online survey. “The design aims to balance nature, recreation and leisure with a range of opportunities for exercise, play, relaxation and social activities in a preserved natural environment.” The parks, together with Tickle Park, provide a council-wide recreation function, supported by district level recreation parks such as Jack Morgan Park at Coolum and others in Marcoola, Mudjimba and Peregian Springs. The community is encouraged to provide feedback on the landscape plan until 3 April by visiting council’s Have Your Say website. Simply Google Have your say Sunshine Coast for a list of landscape plan features and more information.

The Rococo Noosa Tigers will hold their 2023 season launch this Sunday 26 March from noon to 4pm with the entire club invited to join in the fun. Jumping castles for the kids, food from major sponsor Rococo, a fully stocked bar, live music and many presentations and introductions to the Tiger faithful with the senior men’s sides starting their QAFL campaigns on Saturday 1 April against Redlands at Victoria Point. Get down to Tigerland this Sunday, a day not to be missed. Go Tigers.

Pirates welcomed Justine Cook-Watene as the coach of the first allfemale McGinns of Kennilworth U13s team in club history.

Female players are growing in numbers.

Paddlers from Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club training for upcoming competitions.

Rugby girls on the move The participation of women and young girls in the game of rugby league is definitely on the rise. Clubs from all around the state are becoming involved, raising teams and competing, and no more so than right here in our own backyard of Noosa Pirates Rugby League club. From Pirates sponsorships, social media and functions coordinator, Deborah-Jane (DJ) Gillard comes the following: “The club has fielded the first ever U13 girls’ team. What an awesome first game, the girls did so well, winning 52 to 8. So amazing to watch the next generation of our Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast Ladies Division, of the Noosa Pirates Rugby League club, playing under their personal sponsorship McGinn’s of Kenilworth.” Further to this, the club is delighted to welcome Justine Cook-Watene on board as the coach of the first all-female U13s team in club history and proudly sponsored by McGinn of Kenilworth. Justine and her family have been an important part of the club for several seasons. They have never hesitated to help in the heavy workloa, that is always a part of junior football. Justine is a sister to the late Cook Islands World Cup representative Adam Cook -Atene who also captained the Burleigh Bears. She is also related to former Tonga and New Zealand M?ori representative Frank Watene. “Justine is a strong- willed woman who leads with action, and ha put her body through numerous seasons,” said senior women’s coach Robert Burgin. These junior players are definitely fortunate to have a female mentor of such calibre. All throughout the club they are excited about what the U13 girls will achieve in 2023 it’s history in the making. The club extends its many thanks to all that are working in support of the Pirates Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast, Women’s Division.

Pirates celebrated their first ever Noosa fielded U13 girls team. Outrigger Canoe Club The latest information from the Noosa Outrigger Club is something in which the club can take pride. The world long distance championships are being held in Soma in August, and several members from the Noosa Outrigger Club have been chosen for the training squad from which the Australian team will be chosen. Club spokesperson Colin Jones said, “This is the pinnacle for the sport of paddling and indeed a great honour. Congratulations to Sandra Kennedy, Manuela Frank, Rose Edvin, Martina Gerdemann, Cecily Ridderhof, Chris Kelly, Mark Rocco, Glenn Brown, Des Abbot and Muz Latham.’’ Training and further selection was taking place at Redcliffe 18 and 19 March under the supervision of the national body, AOCRA. Apart from members being chosen for ad-

vanced training selection camps, the really good news is that the coaching panel of our Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club must be doing a lot of things right. Congratulations to all. Sporting roundup Our Noosa Pickle Ball Club is once again going to promote another big tournament. On 15 and 16 April the club will be hosting the 4th Annual Noosa Classic Pickleball Doubles Tournament at the Noosa Leisure Centre. With a total of 170 players from all over the state registered, this will be the biggest tournament in Noosa to date. The number of players gives us a good indication as to the growth of the game. For those who are interested in this sport with the funny name, this is a good opportunity to see the game played by top competitors. All spectators are welcome. Game times

are 8am to 5pm both days. When we talk about the fastest growing sports in Australia, a sport now at the top of the list is, without a doubt, the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and one such club is the Caza, situated in 153 Cooyar St, Noosa Junction. This now well- established club, under the supervision and training of Professor Yoshi Hasegawa 3rd Dan, and assisted by a panel of six coaches, will on 2 April travel to Caloundra to take part in an open tournament with clubs from all over the state participating. Following this will be the Queensland state titles. These will be held June in Brisbane and following on in August, the national titles in Melbourne. With a club membership of 200-plus and growing, they have already established a very successful reputation at the highest level of competition. And, on occasion, some have been at international level. From Boxing Queensland (amateur) comes the news the Sunshine Coast Regional Championships will be held on 25 March starting at 11am at the Noosa District High School, Cooroy. The tournament, under control of Mark Evans, owner and founder of Impact Boxing Academy, was originally known as the Young Guns and its first tournament was 12 years ago. Now it is one of the most successful events on the boxing calendar. The main reason for its success is the fact that Evans and his support team keep looking for a different format each year. Speaking on the matter, Evans said, “We came to realise that there has never been a regional championship held for this part of the state so, 25 March at 11am will be the first. “What started as the Young Guns will now be the Sunshine Coast Regional Championships.” Well done to all. We wish them every success.

Between The Flags Ron Lane

No lives lost between the flags as season winds down As the season starts to wind down we can look back on the months past for both Noosa and Sunshine Beach, and despite the massive crowds, we say to both well done. No lives were lost between the flags. On Noosa’s Main Beach a major highlight has been the introduction of the beach mats courtesy of the Mayor, council and the Tewantin Noosa Lions. This gave those less fortunate, access to beach life that otherwise was virtually impossible thanks to those local bodies working together. 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 March, 2023

Another great success for Noosa has been the Seahorse Nippers. Big thanks to those who helped these young children. The beach mats were a great assistance for parents. This great organisation, now in its 12th year, will have the first four Saturdays in October as its next season. For Sunshine Beach, apart from their high standard of patrolling,( that saw them, when necessary, also doing rescue work in that devils’ playground Alexandria Bay) the big occasion was their 40th reunion celebration.

This was a great success, bringing those who started the club, and those who created and turned it into a reality, together. This club gave those who wanted to enjoy the beauties of their beach, the opportunities to do so in safety. Next week we take a closer look at this fabulous historic Saturday. The next big occasion for the competitors in both clubs will be the Australian titles in Perth from Saturday 24 to Sunday 2 April. Good luck to both clubs.

Seahorse nipper team wind up for the season.

Bait balls attract sharks If anyone needed to be persuaded that the state government’s Surf Safe shark awareness and education program, supported here by the Noosa Biosphere Foundation, is an important one, this drone image shot 100 metres off Castaways Beach last week might help. Shot by visiting German clinical psychologist Stephan Neuwerk, the still image and video show feverish marine activity around the bait ball, including the presence of what appears to be a tiger shark and a bull shark centre and circling. Stephan, who is waiting for his visa before starting a new job in Newcastle, was enjoying an early morning surf at Castaways alongside surf coach and president of Noosa World Surfing Reserve Kirra Molnar when they saw marine activity intensify just beyond the lineup and paddled in. That same morning bait ball activity and shark sightings were reported at Noosa West Beach and Teewah. Stephan launched his drone and got the money shot. Says Kirra: “Sharks share our Noosa waters and we need to respect that. This time of year bait balls are out and about so we’ve seen some solid fish action. It’s a reminder to all water users to be smart, stay safe and look out for your fellow surfers when heading out in the lineup.” Vale Walshie Although he was a true titan of Australian television (the man who turned Neighbours into a global phenom) and sports events (the man who put Tina Turner into rugby league’s Simply The Best campaign), Brian Walsh was less well known in surfing circles than he deserved. Walshie, who died this week at 68, was the creative force behind Foxtel from its beginnings in 1995, but long before that he was a grom from the suburbs, not quite a surfer but a confident kid who fell in love with the culture and, through persistence and precocious talent as a promoter, became an important part of it. I first met Walshie when he did an internship at Tracks in the mid-1970s while finishing a communications degree. He was an infectiously positive presence, full of good ideas, and we loved having him around. But he didn’t last long. When Jack McCoy and Dick Hoole finished their first surf feature, Tubular Swells, they snapped him up to roadshow and promote the hell out of it around Australia. Having done the same tough gig for another filmmaker, I could only drool over Walshie’s ability to get every newspaper and radio station in every coastal town to do his bidding. In 1978, my colleague at Tracks, Paul Holmes took over the running of the Coca Cola 2SM Surfabout, then the richest pro event in the world, and on the back of his success with Tubular Swells, the radio station hired Walshie as publicist. Paul said this week: “He did such a fantastic job that 2SM hired him full time, and he went on to an amazing career, a legit media mogul.” But Brian Walsh never acted like a media mogul. He was a sweet guy and, as a boss, a gentle persuader rather than a classroom bully.

Bait ball action off Castaways last week. When I moved to Queensland in 1990, I lost touch with Walshie on a personal level, although I saw plenty of pictures of him with the stars of the day (Kylie, Guy, Tina et al). At Foxtel he seemed to flow effortlessly from one role to another, and when I started working on live sportscasts from 1998, our paths would cross again. In fact I was working on the Foxtel crew at the London Olympics in 2012 when the boss, Walshie, turned up with an ailing Molly Meldrum on his arm. (Molly had nearly died after falling off a ladder.) Walshie came running across the room at the elaborate welcome party for the crew. “Can you look after Molly while I take a conference call?” he asked. Sure, I said, but what do you want me to do with him? “Just make sure he doesn’t climb any ladders!” And Walshie was off, moving across the floor like an ice skater, in that way he had. In 2015 he phoned me and said he was coming to Noosa and wanted to buy me lunch. “I want to do something on surfing,” he said. “Have a think about it.” As it happened I’d been watching my good friend Bill Wallace get frailer by the day, while Scotty Dillon was simply getting stranger. I wanted to tell the stories of the pioneer Brookvale boardbuilders while they were still with us, and the clock was running. I sat down and wrote a one-page pitch. At the lunch we talked about anything but.

Picture: STEPHAN NEUWERK Walshie was a very entertaining fellow, and generous with the wine. Halfway through the second bottle I needed to excuse myself. As I got up, I pulled the pitch out of my pocket and said, “Take a quick look at this while I have a leak.” When I got back to the table he was beaming! “I love it! This has got so much heart. We’re in, 100 per cent. When can you start?” At Foxtel Studios in Sydney a week or so later the top execs and producers were telling me, “No one gets 100 per cent funding, doesn’t happen.” But Walshie made it happen. And when it came time to launch Men of Wood and Foam, he didn’t hold back. On a glittering night at the historic Freshwater Surf Club, we introduced the Brookvale Six to the television world and celebrated them in tributes cut from our film, then Little Pattie joined The Band of Frequencies on a makeshift stage out the back and we stomped the night away. That was typical Brian Walsh. All heart. He will be missed. FOOTNOTE: This column’s favourite surf shooter Fenna De King was on the sand at Agnes Water last week for the Aggie Longboard Classic and shot these colourful images of the midweek pro events. On Sunday the action moved to quality waves on the point, where a certain NT surf columnist took out the blue riband Over 70s division.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 16 Corsair Cres saw five registered bidders. With ocean views and prize-home quality furnishings, the coastal home enjoyed high ceilings, air-conditioned living zones, multiple outdoor entertaining areas and a self-contained guest suite. “The five registered bidders were local and from Brisbane,’’ Rick said. “One party was definitely the stronger, which saw some solid negotiation and the property selling under auction conditions. “It was one of the locals who took the keys with them. “They’ve been living here and wanted views as well as coastal lifestyle. “The main thing was the style and size of the home. It came with a full inventory. “People know what they want.

HOME FOCUS

A PRIVATE SANCTUARY ON A HUGE BLOCK BEEN yearning for a home with the charm of days gone by, close to all the modern amenities you need? This lovely property oozes traditional grace and character, along with plenty of space for your outdoor pursuits - all within walking distance of Cooroy township. Built circa 1900, the Queenslander boasts original features like VJ walls and ceilings, ornate fretwork, and gleaming polished timber floors. If the breeze coming through the casement windows is not enough to keep you cool, the ceiling fans and air-conditioning should do the trick. Naturally, there’s also a shady verandah around two sides, where you can relax and enjoy the privacy and peace that comes with being surrounded by trees on a large, private block. The upper level also includes a separate deck, family room, plus an open plan living and dining area with a cosy combustion fireplace, so you’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to spending time with loved ones. Adjoining the living zone is a county-style

kitchen complete with beautiful timber cabinetry, and modernised with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and gas cooktop. Both bedrooms have french doors opening onto the verandah. The home office/study is perfect for a student or working from home. It could also work as a third bedroom. Underneath the living level is parking for two vehicles, an office space, laundry, and generous storage area. It could be fully

built in (STCA) to create even more living space. Additional features include a 14m x 7m shed with mains and power, garden shed, and 13,000L of rainwater storage. With 5005m2 of flat, useable land, new owners will be spoiled for choice. There’s ample room for growing your own fruit and vegetables, running chooks, or just enjoying the established gardens and native birdlife. While very private, the property is less than 20 minutes’ walk (or a two-minute

drive) from the heart of Cooroy, with its schools, shops, cafes and supermarkets. And Noosa’s beaches, national park, and shopping/dining strip are just 24 minutes from your doorstep. It’s unusual to find an authentic Queenslander on level, useable acreage so close to town. If you like the idea of quiet country living with modern convenience, be sure to arrange your inspection of this fabulous property. ●
