Snowy and seven dudes

Alli Pope and the book that started it all.

Picture: SUPPLIED

Fresh from winning the Best Kids and Family Award at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Noosa-based theatre company Jally Entertainment is bringing its pantomime, Snowy and the Seven Cool Dudes, home to The J for the school holidays for one show only.

It’s difficult to believe it was just over a year ago that Alli Pope launched a kids’ book of the same name at Annie’s Books in Peregian Beach.

Since then the local writer and thespian has been touring the Snow White-inspired pantomime created from the book around Queensland and NSW schools to great acclaim, ultimately leading to a nomination and then a big win at Adelaide Fringe, the second largest arts festival in the world with 1200 acts and ticket sales over a million.

That’s what you call a dream run for Alli, who wrote and produced the show, described tongue-in-cheek as “an inclusive story of kindness, featuring messages about keeping fit and making healthy food choices”.

Predator warning Child sexual exploitation (CSE) is happening here.

This is the message the Integrated Family and Youth Service (IFYS) want to shout out to spark a greater awareness of CSE and end the abuse through their initiative Project Paradigm which was launched at Birtinya on Monday.

IFYS managing director Tony Pignata was joined by former Queensland Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson and Former FBI agent Dr Dennis Desmond to deliver a picture of CSE and its proliferation across the country, much of it being initiated through online platforms.

IFYS, which was established on the Sunshine Coast 40 years ago, delivers a range of specialist support and intervention programs for children, young people and families, and

has expanded over the years, now employing 850 people and providing 65 services across Queensland.

The Project Paradigm campaign is designed to drive action and prevention and to encourage people to report the signs of abuse. It builds on the work of IFYS in 2022 in which they educated and engaged more than 600 professionals, 700 parents resulting in direct contact with almost 150,000 children.

CSE can occur in many ways, through an individual or organised crime and the affects on children are lifelong, Mr Pignata said.

Bob Atkinson, who was one of six commissioners on the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse, told guests it had been 10 years since the Royal Commission which had created a groundswell of activity, and raised awareness of CSE

within institutions.

Children abused in institutions make up only 20 per cent or less of children sexually abused with most abuse occurring in a familiar context, many through technology, Mr Atkinson said.

“It’s such a new area. We have to make sure we do all we can to prevent it and respond to it at the earliest opportunity,“ he said.

“It destroys trust. For children, when trust is destroyed that causes lifelong harm.“ The Royal Commission called for people to come forward and tell their stories. Some did so in public hearings while others were able to speak in privacy.

There was no doubt children had been sexually abused and all organisations including faith-based and sporting organisations involved with children were mentioned, except

Girl Guides, he said.

“Many people came forward because they didn’t want to see what had happened to them happen to other children,“ Mr Atkinson said.

“So many people wanted to come forward to tell their story. They did from all over Australia.

Many people had never told anyone what happened to them.

“There were 57 public hearings but we had so much information they could have had 1000 public hearings.

“By 57 we had enough to make evidencebased recommendations. We found a lack of research in areas but that was not surprising. CSE did not even have a language to describe it.“ The inquiry commissioned 59 research reports and made 409 recommendations.

Food rescue need rising

By Margie Maccoll Food waste is an enormous worldwide environmental issue from emitted greenhouse gases to the resources wasted in creating that food.

In Australia we waste 7.6 million tonnes of food a year and the situation is getting worse, OzHarvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie founder Michele Lipner told guests at Noosa Parks Association Friday forum last week.

Despite this shocking wastage of food, a 2022 Foodbank report showed 0.5 million households were living with food insecurity each day and 53 per cent of those were working households.

These people are not the homeless living on the streets. These are our neighbours, friends, families who have jobs, single women over 50, Michele said.

In Queensland 440,000 households went hungry on any day and 230,000 are seeking food from services every day.

In the past six months the demand for services has increased more than 60 per cent and 33 per cent of charities can not meet the demand for food relief, she said.

Covid, cost of living increases, rent and interest increases, natural disasters and climate change have all impacted people’s lives.

In 2004 former Sydney event organiser Ronnie Kahn noticed the amount of food waste and started with one van collecting good food that would otherwise go to landfill and distributing it to charities.

Since then OzHarvest, the organisation she founded, has expanded to every capital city and many regional areas and delivered 225 million meals to people who would have gone hungry.

In 2014 former international aid worker Michele Lipner with two volunteers began at Peregian Beach, collecting food from the Bent Banana fruit and veggie store, which no longer operates, and delivering it to Youturn youth support.

OzHarvest Sunshine Coast now has more than 100 volunteers, collects 15,000kg of food a month from 35 food donors and delivers it to 47 charities from Gympie to Caloundra and across the hinterland. It operates from a warehouse at Coolum and obtains funding from grants, donations and fundraising.

“The problem is huge,“ she said. “We pick up surplus quality food that would otherwise go to waste and deliver it at no cost. We are the safety net between waste and delivery to people going hungry.“ In addition to food rescue the Sunshine Coast OzHarvest operates educational programs to reduce food waste and create nutritional meals on a budget to local schools. They also run Cooking for a Cause corporate events involving groups cooking a meal which is then distributed to a charity.

Their latest venture in partnership with University of Sunshine Coast is the creation of an A-Z Guide to Cooking with local food, called SunnyCoast Eats.

A thousand copies have been donated to local charities to help people create nutritious meals and another thousand sold, with each

Michele Lipner of OzHarvest Sunshine Coast. copy sold funding the donation of a book to an OzHarvest recipient.

“Why do we waste food?“ Michele asked the audience.

The answer is shocking. Most of it is cosmetic. People don’t want to buy food unless it’s perfect.

Michele said a third of food waste occurs on farms and a third from people’s homes. “Seventy per cent of food in the bin doesn’t need to be there,“ she said.

“Forty to 60 per cent of food produced on the farm never leaves because it’s not saleable.

It doesn’t meet standards and that’s almost solely cosmetic.“

Some examples locally involved OzHarvet collecting white turnips from a local shop that only wanted to display blush turnips, picking up 100kg of cucumbers from a farm because they were too small or too large and collecting 400-500kg eggs per month from a producer because they were too small or too large.

The impact on the environment is substantial with 20 per cent of landfill consisting of food waste, and it produces methane gas as it breaks down.

“If food waste was a country it’d be the third largest producer of emissions after China and the US,“ Michele said.

“But there is hope,“ she said, with a Use

it up campaign, launched in response to a Monash University study, aimed at reducing national food waste by 50 per cent by 2030.

And the solution is simple.

“Use what you have in the refrigerator. Buy what you need, eat what you buy, know how to store it, buy local,“ Michele said.

Farmers’ market food may be expensive but it’s fresh, local and will last longer.

“There are multiple ways to make a difference. We are the solution collectively,“ she said.

Sustaining local papers Local print newspapers like Star News Noosa Today may survive the onslaught of online media.

A national report into local news sustainability is challenging the perception that print newspapers are dead.

The report is calling on governments to revise their advertising rules to help local news providers and better target regional and rural communities.

“Local and regional newspapers continue to play a significant role for local communities,“ said Star News Group managing director Paul Thomas.

“They provide a voice, an opportunity for informed public debate and hold the powerful to account.

“Star News Group is proud to continue to provide quality local news with balance and fairness but the conditions are tough.“ The report Media Innovation and the Civic Future of Australia’s Country Press made 22 recommendations.

The finding was the culmination of a threeyear Australian Research Council project, led

by Deakin University.

Deakin partnered with Country Press Australia, the nation’s peak local news lobby, and RMIT University.

Project lead Professor Kristy Hess, of Deakin’s School of Communications and Creative Arts, said the project’s aim was to examine the local media landscape to identify challenges and opportunities for sustainability and innovation.

“We wanted to examine the challenges facing small-town news providers given the commentary in recent years about the crisis they are facing in Australia and across the world,” she said.

This was the first comprehensive report of its kind in Australia and its recommendations provide a blueprint to preserve and grow rural and regional news for future generations.

Country Press Australia president Andrew Manuel said the Media Innovation and the Civic Future of Australia’s Country Press report should be seen as a beginning and not an end.

Mr Manuel said the report highlighted the essential role local papers play in serving their communities and delivering civic journalism.

“This is arguably the most comprehensive study of our industry ever undertaken and the report stands as a beacon for government, for policy makers and for the community to take the appropriate and necessary actions to ensure newspapers can continue to play such a vital role,“ he said.

The study began at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The pandemic resulted in the temporary or permanent closure of dozens of local mastheads across Australia and a shift among some to digital-only platforms.

“The first thing we did was conduct a major national survey to find out what people valued about their local mastheads,” Professor Hess said.

“We found people in many regional and rural towns and cities were passionate about their local mastheads but rejected an over-reli-

A collection of Noosa Today newspapers. ance on syndicated content, in print and digital, sourced from neighbouring areas or other parts of the country.”

The research team conducted two main national surveys – one with local news audiences and one with those who do not engage with local news.

There were 35 interviews with Australian news editors and proprietors and seven interpretive focus groups with editors, journalists and advertising managers within the Country Press Australia network.

One key finding was the strain on local mastheads hit with lost revenue from local, state and federal government advertising.

Advertising in recent years has prioritised social media and metropolitan news outlets with a larger digital reach.

“Our research found there is this obsession with digital reach,” Professor Hess said.

“That’s all well and good, but a local masthead, whether in print or online, isn’t designed to reach one million people.

“If we use the digital reach metric as an indicator as to which news outlets should get government advertising, these independent regional and rural outlets are going to lose out every time.

The report supports a recent Parliamentary Inquiry recommendation that stipulates 20 per cent of all Federal Government advertising expenditure be directed to regional and rural news organisations.

“Communities without a newspaper rarely have a platform that enables them to be fully informed,“ Mr Thomas said.

“They no longer have professionally trained journalists providing balance and seeking out the details.

“They become reliant on social media which has no balance, and most often simply coughs up someone else’s bias.“ Data from the study also showed government funding schemes for local news outlets were often tied to digital innovation.

Funding was often given to buy drones and other technologies.

The report describes a ‘digital shiny things bias’ towards digital innovation at the expense of supporting initiatives that may be most beneficial to rural and regional audiences.

A greater appreciation for place-based public interest journalism and the need for collaboration among publishers were other key findings, while what local news providers needed was financial support to upgrade print infrastructure or to hire more staff.

Professor Hess said print was not dead for many regional and rural communities.

“We need to remember there is a digital divide in Australia that means some communities still struggle with poor-quality and unreliable internet connections.

“Some segments of the community, including older citizens, find it difficult to use newer technologies.

“Younger audiences also like the look of a printed newspaper.”

The report also recommended better incentives, including pay, to attract seasoned reporters to the regions. Governments were also urged to provide seed funding for journalistled news start-ups to counteract local “news deserts” developing in some parts of Australia.

“Our research shows people in these communities want more local news content, including stories on locals’ achievements, successes and milestones.

“They also want news on local events and more investigative-type pieces.”

Mr Manuel noted that regional newspapers were unique in their ability to give readers an insight into their close community.

“Our members continue to provide the local and civic news that readers crave more than ever, often as the only local media outlet serving a particular region,“ he said.

“Coming out of the pandemic, many publishers have reported a strong revival in their readership, underpinned by a focus on hyperlocal and unique news that has been a common denominator of country papers since their inception.“ The research also found there is more capacity for regional and rural news providers to develop collaborative advocacy and solutionsstyle reporting campaigns that address important rural and regional issues that span multiple communities.

Mr Thomas said the Victorian State Government was very supportive of the industry, ensuring important government communications are “provided to local communities through the local newspapers“.

However he stipulates that this dedication is not reflected in the Federal Government, who place their announcements solely online.

“Government messages can easily be misconstrued online or end up next to inappropriate material,“ he said.

“We call on the Federal Government to ensure that they provide information to local communities across appropriate platforms and commit to the recommendations of this report by Deakin.“ The report was launched at a national event in Melbourne on 23 March.

Alleged assault shocks

By Abbey Cannan The Noosa community has been shocked by a disturbing incident at a Tewantin home earlier this month that left a 13-year-old girl in hospital for a week.

Police will allege on Saturday 11 March, a girl was invited into a home where she was subsequently prevented from leaving and filmed while being assaulted, taunted and cut with a knife over the period of several hours.

On 13 March, investigations led police to charge three girls, who legally cannot be named, aged 12, 13, and 14-years-old.

The horrifying footage of the alleged beating was watched by millions online after going viral on TikTok, where social media users started a trending hashtag requesting justice, all the while starting a witch hunt for the alleged attackers.

Videos were shared on TikTok of people claiming to be trashing the home where the incident occurred.

Users commented, “The whole world has your back... We won’t stop until you get your justice.“ Parents seemed to be questioning the safety of their own children as one user said, “It

Four boats destroyed in non-suspicious jetty fire

By Abbey Cannan Four boats from a Noosa business were destroyed in a fire in the early morning of Thursday 23 March.

Emergency services were called to attend the fire along Gympie Terrace in Noosaville, which is not being treated as suspicious.

Police arrived shortly after 1am, finding several vessels well alight and assisted firefighters to extinguish the flames and save other nearby boats.

Local business Pelican Boat Hire confirmed it owned the four destroyed boats in a post on its Facebook page.

“They say to beware the ides of March,“ the owners wrote.

“In March 2020, it was Covid lockdown.

In March 2021, it was nearly floods. In March 2022, we had big floods. In March 2023, an unexplained boat fire at 1am destroyed four of our boats.

“Our team are amazing and had cleared the mess and had us open for business as usual (with a slightly smaller fleet) by 8am.

“We are open as usual and still smiling so come down and enjoy the incredible Noosa River.“ Along with the Pelican Boats, party boat M-V Catalina was damaged, as well as a plastic jetty.

Four boats from a Noosa business were destroyed in a fire at 1am.

Plastic Free Noosa Ambassador and Waste Warrior Jarrah Small shared her concern online of the plastic pollution affecting marine life after the fires.

“I contacted Noosa Council last night to explain that there is still a lot of styrofoam on the banks of the Noosa River and they said they would get down there in the morning and have a look,“ she said while down at the Noosa River picking up styrofoam balls.

“Hopefully they have a strategy to get all the plastic pollution out from between the rocks.“ The investigation to identify the cause of the fire is ongoing, however, it is not thought to be suspicious.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police.

The teenage victim and her mother spoke to Channel 9’s A Current Affair.

The 14-year-old was charged with four

counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, assault occasioning bodily harm whilst armed in company, deprivation of liberty, enter dwelling and commit indictable offence, armed robbery whilst in company used personal violence, enter premises and commit indictable offence and wilful damage. She was remanded in custody and is due to face Maroochydore Childrens Court again next month.

The 13-year-old was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, assault occasioning bodily harm whilst armed in company, deprivation of liberty, armed robbery whilst in company used personal violence, enter dwelling and commit indictable offence, common assault and unauthorised dealing with shop goods.

Investigations are ongoing.

Climber falls to her death Emergency services responded to three separate rescues on Mt Beerwah last Saturday with one incident claiming the life of a Sunshine Coast woman.

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) operations supervisor Leighton Allen said the woman fell about 40m while descending the eastern face of the mountain with a friend.

QAS responded to a Triple 0 call from the mountain and attended along with QFES, QFRS and SES. Mr Allen said a friend tried to resuscitate the woman after the fall until officers from Maroochydore arrived to take over and declared her deceased at the scene.

“It was a tragic accident that cost her life,“ Mr Allen said.

While officers were attending the fatality, a man aged in his 30s slid down the same mountain while climbing and injured his shoulder.

Emergency services extracted him and transported him to hospital.

Earlier in the day, emergency services were called to Mt Beerwah following a parachute incident during which a 52-year-old man suffered significant injuries to his leg, and possible chest injuries after falling about 30m.

Mr Allen said the man was stable throughout the rescue and was transported by LifeFlight to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.

Mr Allen urged climbers to do their research, be prepared and aware of the conditions before attempting to climb the Glasshouse Mountains but conceded no matter how prepared people were, accidents do occur.

The conditions can be wet, hot and humid and quite rugged, he said.

“Do your research, have a look and see if you’re capable of climbing that mountain,“ he said.

He said it was unfortunate that the length of time and resources required to respond to each rescue with each involving about 30 emergency officers impacted on their ability to respond to other incidents.

QAS, Lifeflight and other emergency services responded to three cliff falls on Mt Beerwah.

Locks shaved for charity The students and staff at Good Shepherd Lutheran College are continuing their quest to shave the world from blood cancer by raising valuable funds in this year’s World’s Greatest Shave campaign.

In its 11th year of supporting the campaign, 14 brave Good Shepherd students and two staff members pledged to cut or shave their hair.

Their small sacrifice will not only assist those fighting blood cancer right now, it will also contribute much needed funds to help research scientists continue their search for better ways to diagnose and treat blood cancer more effectively.

Good Shepherd Lutheran College principal Anthony Dyer said, “At Good Shepherd we place great emphasis on service for others and have noticed that students participating in the World’s Greatest Shave learn important values and lessons through the shared experience of shaving and fundraising, including empathy, empowerment, philanthropy, community values and social conscience. As a College we are passionate about this campaign and will continue to support the vital work it undertakes.”

When someone signs up to shave or cut their hair for World’s Greatest Shave, they send a powerful message of hope to the 110,000 Australians and their families facing blood cancer right now. Many people facing blood cancer lose their hair during treatment.

Unfortunately, Year 5 student Nina Hughes, is travelling the incredibly difficult journey many families have travelled, as her mother battles cancer.

Nina pledged to shave her head.

“It is hard that my mum has cancer and I really wanted to help her but there is nothing that I could do and then The World’s Greatest Shave came along, and I wanted to do it with all of my heart.”

Supported by her best friend Phoebe Sayer

Year 5 student Nina Hughes raised over $10,000 in her quest to make a difference as her mother battles cancer.

(Year 5) who also shaved her head, the girls mustered up the courage to get up on stage in front of their peers and put their support into action. Nina has raised over $10,000 alone.

Although the on-line fundraising efforts for the World’s Greatest Shave may have started weeks ago, Good Shepherd’s fundraising campaign certainly didn’t rely only on the online fundraising.

The entire College supported the campaign through a variety of fundraising activities including delicious bake sales, sausage sizzles, friendship bracelets, even the classic favourite spider drink assured the tally kept rolling over.

Musicians joined in with busking stations collecting donations throughout the campus while the ever-popular Crazy Hair Day, show-

cased amazing creative designs.

Damien Johns, pastoral care coordinator at Good Shepherd said, “This year’s team did an unbelievable job fundraising and spreading awareness.“ “There were tons of great fundraising activities happening throughout the month of March. The students organised a staff carwash with 30 cars washed in just a couple of hours and they managed to raise over $700.”

Students also happily purchased raffle tickets to shave the heads of both the deputy principal Michael Stock and science teacher Mark Wood and encouraged them to Brave the Shave.

Mr Johns said, “It was amazing to see the community come together and go well past our initial target of $25K. This year’s result of

Broterh Beau (Year 10) and Gus (Year 12) Butler have worked well together as they smashed their target of $7500 tor aise close to $10,000. close to $35K is a record for the College and as we love to break records, I’m sure we will aim even higher next year.

“Blood cancer can’t be screened for, and it can’t be prevented. It doesn’t discriminate and can strike anyone at any time so we at Good Shepherd are keen to do our part in battling this terrible condition.”

Mr Dyer said, “Good Shepherd has raised well over $200,000 in its 11-year history of raising money for Blood Cancer Research. While the fundraising was entertaining for all involved, the main purpose remains very much in the spotlight for the students at Good Shepherd. We thank every person who participated, encouraged, donated, supported, and rallied to achieve such a phenomenal result for the Leukaemia Foundation.”

Bat plan still months away

By Margie Maccoll Waratah Close, Maple Avenue and Hibiscus Retirement Village residents whose lives have been impacted by a migratory flying fox colony with little relief, were represented at Noosa Council’s ordinary meeting last week by resident Jokubas Kuprevicius who asked two questions on notice.

“We’ve been living with flying foxes at crisis levels for six months. The community is happy for council to do significant work to ensure bats do not come here again next year,“ Mr Kuprevicius told council before asking if council had yet created a management plan for the situation, if so, what it involved and a timeline of its implementation.

The flying fox roost management plans take four months to develop and include consultation with residents and technical experts to identify suitable management options available for the site, council’s environment and sustainable development director Kim Rawlings said in response.

Measures to discourage flying foxes returning to the site may include thinning or removal of vegetation and use of buffering systems, including sprinklers, she said.

Ms Rawlings said council was not able to implement significant measures prior to creating a management plan and was limited by Department of Environment and Science 2020 guidelines and codes of practice set out by the Nature Conservation Act 1992.

Flying-foxes and their roosts are protected under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

The Acts prohibit unauthorised disturbance to flying-foxes, or interference with roost habitat.

“The current proposed timeline for the development of the Flying Fox Roost Manage-

Little Red Flying Foxes have set up roost in Waratah Reserve, Noosaville.

Residents are calling on council for management plans for flying fox roost. ment Plan is for it to be prepared immediately (subject to appointing a consultant) and to be complete by August. This timeframe includes stakeholder and community consultation on the plan,“ she said.

What we’re hearing is it’s taking time to development plans which leaves us in a situation where nothing tangible has been done and we’ll only get a plan in August, Mr Kuprevicius said.

“Living in these conditions can be brutal,“ the Noosaville resident said.

Mr Kuprevicius told council residents had been provided with a subsidy offered to 100 houses which was not sufficient to cover damages.

He asked if council would redistribute the subsidy to about 10 houses that had been most impacted.

“We’d like to request that the council lodge an investigation to the houses that have been affected the most and allocate relief funds for these houses,“ he said.

“Their expenses are of great significance, and we feel as if the council needs to take care of them.“ Ms Rawlings said council was doing what it could do and the development of a management plan would cost tens of thousands of dollars.

“Little red flying-foxes seasonally migrate to the South East Queensland region, coinciding

with the annual blossoming of bloodwoods and other eucalypt species,“ she said.

“Influxes can occur at any location and anywhere within the Noosa Shire. Roosts of little reds can form overnight, often leaving as quickly as they arrive.

“Council assures residents that influxes of little reds are temporary, and residents will experience relief as the weather cools.

“Noosa Council acknowledges the challenges residents are currently facing living near the flying-fox roost in Waratah Reserve.”

She said Noosa Council was one of the only local governments in South East Queensland to offer a Flying-fox Subsidy Program which was intended help eligible residents living adjacent to flying-fox roosts to reduce the impacts associated with roosts on properties and vehicles.

“In addition to the subsidy program, council is investing significant funds into immediate management actions at the site including the trimming of vegetation and immediate development of the management plan. The management plan will make further recommendations for management actions and investment to help manage this issue.“

Beware online predators From page 1 In 2018 the Queensland Government established the Truth, Healing and Reconciliation Taskforce, chaired by Mr Atkinson, to listen to people who have experienced institutional child sexual abuse, provide support and advice the government on the implementation of the Royal Commissions’s recommendations.

“The challenge now is maintaining the momentum,“ Mr Atkinson said.

“There is no end to this - this is a battlefield Former FBI Special Agent and US Cyber Intelligence officer and now USC lecturer Dennis Desmond told guests the advent of the internet had thrown the FBI, that was accustomed to traditional methods of investigation, into chaos.

Now collecting evidence is mainly online and much of it involves phones, he said.

“We’re looking at fraud, scams, online recruitment of children, leading to abuse in the physical world,” he said.

During his work in the violent crimes against children unit with the FBI Dr Desmond was tasked with training agents to catch child predators by being decoys, creating profiles and identities of children, engaging pedophiles and arranging meetings where they could be arrested.

Pedophiles were categorised into travellers and traders. Travellers spot and groom their victims then engage them in the physical world in places such as parks, shopping centres and libraries.

Traders deal in online material such as videos and stills. It’s more difficult for law enforcers to identify these criminals and engage them, he said.

Dr Desmond said advances in technology had created a significant shift in crime fighting in this area with perpetrators becoming more sophisticated in their approach. They can geo locate their computers to another location.

They can hide their identities, use the dark web, encrypt and send messages, trade using crypto currency that is difficult to identify.

They are harder to deceive, with technology allowing them to identify their contacts.

“It’s a technology war between pedophiles and law enforcement,“ he said.

New artificial intelligence (AI) software enables uses to create fake images and data. They can create fake identities that speak in a child’s voice using chat bots.

If perpetrators want to create a letter to a 13-year-old they can go to ChatGPT which can produce it using the right slang and intonation for that cohort.

“It’s a technology arms race,“ he said.

Dr Desmond said in the online world it has become difficult to tell real from fakes, gaming platforms are allowing strangers into people’s houses and it is making parental control difficult.

IFYS CSE principal advisor Conrad Townsend told the forum Project paradigm was working to end child exploitation through collaboration, advocacy and support.

“No organisation can combat this alone,“ he said.

And the cost to the community is enormous with estimates one CSE incident will cost the community $500,000, he said.

Mr Townsend said children most at risk at were those aged 13-15, socially isolated, disengaged, with a history of family breakdown and criminal exploitation.

Predators most commonly engage victims through the creation of an inappropriate boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.

from their friends and family and introduces them to drugs.

They become complacent and dependent and this leads to sexual exploitation and trafficking.

On the Sunshine Coast children as young as 12 have been sexually exploited, Mr Townsend said.

Victims have been trafficked, involved in online and in person engagement. Victims have been intimidated and threatened with death or the targeting of siblings if they say anything, he said. And peer to peer recruitment is common.

“We’re seeing it happening all over Australia,“ Mr Townsend said.

“Parents and carers don’t understand what

they’re seeing. They don’t think it’s what they should be concerned about. They think it’s something that happens overseas. It’s happening in our neighbourhoods, our backyards.“ Through a survey IFYS found only three per cent of parents thought online grooming was a concern.

With a Sunshine Coast Council grant, IFYS plan to hold a series of workshops targeting tourism and hotel industries.

“We know hotels are used regularly for trafficking. We know hospitality staff see things, but don’t know what to do,“ he said.

“We have an epidemic. It needs to be identified and recognised.“ To find out more, visit projectparadigm. com.au

Class marches for mate

By Abbey Cannan The Melanoma March in Noosaville was a great success on Sunday 26 March, with 75 people attending to remember loved ones lost and to support others currently being treated for melanoma.

The march was held at Chaplin Park on Kabi Kai Country, where local students from Class 4JB cut the ribbon to start the event, in memory of their classmate who passed away from melanoma last year.

Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) called on Australians to join its 2023 Melanoma March campaign to help tackle Australia’s tanning culture.

A tan is skin cells in trauma, and the glamourisation of tanning in advertisements, social media and media is promoting a behaviour which we know kills.

MIA chief executive officer Matthew Browne said, “I’d like to thank all of those that attended the march in Noosa and our official Shade Partner, and local Noosa company CoolCabanas.”

CoolCabanas’ stepped in as Bak Slap, another local business, wasn’t able to support this year. Shade is one of the key sun safe rules for preventing melanoma and CoolCabanas is revolutionising how Australian’s experience the great outdoors.

“These events don’t occur anywhere across Australia without a significant input from sort of what we call local committees, and there’s no exception for Noosa,“ Matthew said.

“With the help of these marches we will raise more funds and awareness for important research and to ultimately reach our mission, which is to get to zero deaths from melanoma.”

MIA’s 12th annual Melanoma March campaign needs to raise $1 million for Australia’s first clinical trial aimed to treat fear of cancer recurrence experienced by those with advanced disease.

The trial will focus on identifying and supporting advanced melanoma patients experiencing fear and anxiety about their melanoma recurring or progressing, with the findings also set to benefit other cancer patients.

75 people attended the march in Noosaville.

Council fights rate impact Noosa Council will lobby the state government for a review of Queensland’s rating system to lessen the financial impact that dramatic land value increases are having on ratepayers.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the Queensland Valuer-General’s latest valuations for Noosa had seen many land values increase by hundreds of thousands of dollars and in some cases double in 12 months.

“If we simply feed the Valuer-General’s new valuations into our rating structure our ratepayers face average increases of around 44 per cent - before CPI - at a time when many in our community can ill afford it,” the Mayor said.

Cr Stewart has requested a meeting with the state’s Resources Minister, Scott Stewart, to call for changes.

In Queensland, under the Local Government Act, councils calculate rates as a percentage of land values, as assessed by the state’s valuer, the Valuer-General.

“It’s not just owners of properties in the more expensive areas facing increases, it’s homeowners right across the shire who have seen their land valuations jump by more than 50 per cent,” Mayor Stewart said.

She said councillors were committed to keeping rate rises to a minimum through the budget process, with staff working on a range of scenarios to lessen the impact of the sharp valuation increases come budget time.

“To mitigate the flow through of these latest valuations, like previous years, our staff will review our general rating structure and the rate in the dollar charged to properties.

“This will help moderate, where possible, the impact of valuation increases to ensure the outcome is as equitable and reasonable as

possible across the shire in the face of varying valuation increases,” the Mayor said.

Acting corporate services director, Trent Grauf, said council would use a differential rating structure to levy general rates which

would, where possible, moderate the impacts of property valuation increases on rates.

“It’s, however, very disappointing the State Government opted to conduct land valuations in Noosa for the second consecutive year, rath-

er than every three years, which is the usual process,” the Mayor said.

“After such significant increases last year, we requested the state not to put our shire’s property owners through this process again so soon, given the floods we experienced in 2022.

“Similarly, there seems to be little understanding as to why land valuations were conducted two years in a row for some councils and not for others. For example, Sunshine Coast Council did not incur a second consecutive valuation whereas Gympie and Noosa Shire did.”

Gympie Mayor Glen Hartwig, who will lobby the Minister alongside Mayor Stewart said, “There appears to be little common sense to conducting land valuations two years in a row, at the peak of a cycle. Gympie Region was revalued last year and to have the inflated impact of the property cycle thrust on council again, with no apparent logic, causes unnecessary distress for residents.”

Mayor Stewart said the new valuations, which are based on market conditions from October last year, and take effect in July this year, did not reflect a recent softening of the market.

“We look forward to taking our case up with the Minister,” Mayor Stewart said.

Any property owner can object to the State Government determined land valuation.

Should ratepayers have any concerns over the valuation outcome Council highly recommends they contact the State Valuation Service to query or lodge an objection. Call 1300 664 217 or visit qld.gov.au/environment/land/ title/valuation/objections/lodge-objections

Find your own inner Noosa Tourism Noosa has launched its annual winter campaign for 2023.

The campaign, entitled Find Your Inner Noosa, highlights the natural beauty of the region, and the relaxed, laidback way of life, as well as the region’s popularity as a slow travel destination.

With stunning imagery and video footage, the campaign reflects on the incomparable nature of Noosa as a beloved holiday destination and highlights the varied coastal, river and hinterland villages in the Noosa region.

Tourism Noosa acting chief executive officer Susan Ewington said it was a refreshing new direction for Noosa, which positions the destination as a top choice for wellness travellers and regenerative travel experiences.

Noosa’s world class protected environmental attributes ensure visitors can fully immerse in authentic experiences, unspoiled nature and locally sourced produce, and experience beauty through all senses.

“Noosa invites visitors to relax, reconnect and to live fully in the moment. It is a destination beyond comparison, and this exciting new campaign highlights the array of naturebased experiences available to enjoy our beautiful region,“ she said.

“Travellers to Noosa are aware of the relaxing nature of beach holidays here, and we aim to introduce people to the variety of natural experiences on offer here as well, with the Noosa National Park, the Noosa Everglades and the Noosa River just a few of the spectacular natural spaces to be explored in the Noosa UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

“There is something unique and inimitable about this idyllic destination, and there´s a reason why visitors keep coming back to Noosa not simply to holiday, but to unwind, to reconnect – in short, to Find your inner Noosa.”

As part of the campaign, a 60-second video feature will be rolled out across television and

digital channels, featuring key Noosa destinations including the Noosa Hinterland, Noosa North Shore, the Noosa National Park and the Noosa River.

The soundtrack chosen is an indie songwriter who visited Noosa and fell in love with the destination so much that she named herself Noosa- just one example of the impact Noosa has on visitors to our region.

Print advertising will also be featured in major national magazines and newspaper publications, featuring Noosa dining, accommodation, outdoor experiences, and retail providers.

Tourism Noosa´s head of marketing Brent Chong said, “This campaign shows the diversity of what is on offer here in the Noosa region and aims to encourage interstate and international visitors to diversify their travels, and to get out and explore the lesser-known sights and destinations within the Noosa area.

“We hope it inspires travellers to the area to enjoy our beautiful natural environment, and to explore the wellness and regenerative travel offerings in the region.“ Find Your Inner Noosa will roll out in digital and print publications across the months of March through until June, to encourage visitation throughout the quieter winter months.

This latest campaign from Tourism Noosa has been developed in line with feedback from stakeholders and research provided by Tourism Australia and other industry leaders over recent months. This research has suggested that Noosa is a highly sought after Australian destination and travellers are searching for wellness escapes, that are surrounded by nature, beaches, eat and drink and outdoor experiences.

A full digital offering is available now at visitnoosa.com.au/campaign/find-your-innernoosa for consumers to explore the campaign and plan their next getaway to Noosa.

Snails get tick of approval

By Erle Levey The presentation of Snail of Approval certification to new Slow Food Noosa members was certainly a night to celebrate.

It also presented the opportunity for guests at the dinner and trade show at View Restaurant Noosa with the chance to sample produce as well as meet the farmers and those who provide the food we eat from within the Gympie and Noosa regions.

Slow Food Noosa president Jason Lewis said the movement was always grateful to members of the community for their support and attendance at such events.

“It’s great to see such a mix of new faces and old producers coming along with a similar aim.’’

Slow Food is a world-wide movement with the aim of providing good, clean and fair food.

With members in more than 140 countries, the philosophy encourages a healthy and balanced diet comprising ingredients that are seasonal, local, organic and whole.

Snail of Approval certification is given to farmers or producers who have met a certain criteria in this regard.

Compere for the dinner, Matt Golinski, thanked Peppers Noosa head chef Andrew Wilcox and the team at View Restaurant for going to so much trouble for the evening.

The menu was thoughtfully designed with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.

He went on to commend the Slow Food producers for setting up their trade stalls so people could taste and try, then meet and talk with the suppliers.

Snail of Approval awards were presented to the Noosa Forager, Danielle Young, and The Fermentier, Tania Wiesmayr-Freeman.

The Noosa Forager sources the best local produce for residents and visitors while caring for the environment.

The Parkyns at Munna Pt

By Phil Jarratt At some point in the early 1950s, Mrs JM Daisy Parkyn, wife of the industrious Noosa tourist operator Jack Parkyn, returned to her Tewantin residence from one of her many voyages home to Cornwall, and was driven, as she always was, to Munna Point to inspect the family’s properties and businesses along that pretty stretch of the Noosa River.

Turning left towards the river at the strip of rebuilt Gympie miner’s cottages that now made up some of Noosa’s finest riverside tourist accommodations, Daisy was mortified to see a new sign that designated the dirt track – the one that her family had created to access the holiday cabins and the campground they had cut from the mangroves and tea tree – Russell Street.

In her absence, had someone – Noosa Shire Council? - gone stark raving mad?

The only Russell she could think that it referred to was Jack Russell, a layabout who owned two blocks along the track, and had built a rough shack on the one closest to the river. Everything else in sight was owned and created by the Parkyn family, their labours of love having established them, alongside the Massouds, as the shire’s leaders in the fastgrowing tourism industry.

Daisy must have licked her wounds on behalf of the entire family for months, because by the time she decided to do something about it she had sailed back to England for the season, where she set herself down in her study, overlooking a rugged Cornish cliff tumbling down to the frigid Atlantic, and penned a frank letter to Noosa Shire Clerk AW Dan: Dear Mr. Dann (sic), I am writing you re the sign at Munna Pt. We, the Parkyn Family, pioneered Munna Point which was nothing but a Sandfly Wilderness, as you may well remember, and for over 28 years we worked and slaved there clearing the trees

Daisy Parkyn is leaning on the fence and that’s likely her granddaughter Gloria behind her. and building six houses and our own Parkyn Store for our tenants, and took great pride in doing so. When War came the Army took our new Ford V8 Truck, and our sons… unearthed an old Model T Ford in our backyard on Donnella (sic) … fixed it and Jack and I set off again with our usual daily orders, bread, Courier Mails and our own private Munna Pt Mail Bag, which we collected each morning at the post office … [the guests] were our own happy family and all the years we burnt the old trees and made a lovely camping area. My husband painted and numbered scores of small blocks and even planned proper rows of street conve-

nience for campers … Jack Russell was never any asset to Munna Pt. Certainly he bought the remaining corner, built an old hut in which he lived always, and I never realised until I came back from home last time that Russell St was named after him, and I shall not rest until this wrong has been righted, as no other family in Tewantin has done more to further the whole district in the last 40 years… That street should be called Parkyn Avenue and Jane St on my property should have been Daisy St. Hoping you can fix it all up before I come back.

J.M. Parkyn. (Yes, my mother’s pet name for me was Daisy.)

“I don’t think she ever got a reply,” chuckles Keith Young, whose treasured letter to council, handwritten by his grandmother, is one of many hidden treasures he has unearthed from the Parkyn family legacy.

The family’s history in Noosa Shire goes back to the 1880s when Richard Bray Parkyn emigrated from Cornwall, England, and caught the paddle steamer up to Tewantin to take the coach to the Gympie goldfields.

But young Parkyn liked what he saw along the Noosa River, and like so many of the miners, came back whenever he could. By the time he had risen to the position of mine manager,

Parkyn Bros Services brochure, early 1940s.

Cottages, so he transported the timber to Noosa and built his first riverside holiday shack, which he named Shearston.

In the new century, the next generation of Parkyns, led by son Jack, became locked in a (mostly friendly) commercial rivalry with the Massoud family over the supply of river services. While the Massouds main boat, Riverlight, fished by night and ferried kids to school by day, the Parkyns, with their Miss Tewantin, said to be “the sexiest boat on the river”, linked up with the Donovan family to provide transfers from Cooroy railway station to the Donovans’ Laguna House in Noosa Heads, via the Parkyn-owned Tewantin fishing wharf where they boarded the Miss Tewantin for the final leg.

During the 1920s the Parkyns also developed their land at Munna Point, creating a visionary integrated holiday accommodation precinct and campground from a midge and sandfly-infested tea tree swamp, so that when two new bridges finally linked the river towns in 1929, effectively ending their river-based transfer business, they were ready to service a whole new breed of motorised tourists.

The family built six houses and a general store and cafe (which many years later would become Hot Gillie’s Mex and finally Filligan’s) along one side of the river track, and a network of campsites for tents and caravans, with shel-

Keith Young was born in Toowoomba in 1946, the son of Syd Young and Jack and Daisy Parkyn’s daughter, Lola. When Syd went off to war with the Air Force, Lola and Keith’s older sister Gloria returned to Tewantin to live with Jack and Daisy. After the war and as Keith grew up in the ‘50s, the Youngs were very much Toowoomba-ites, but Keith has fond memories of trekking down from the range to their other home on the river every second weekend.

He recalls: “Mum had a Morris Minor 1000 panel van and we’d come down the range with the three kids in the back on a mattress. My grandparents still had the boatshed through the ‘50s, and we had wonderful times on the river and in old Tewantin. That’s where I met my wife, Lexie.”

We are sitting in the Youngs living room, overlooking their immaculate garden and a quiet reach of Mountain Creek, a stack of memorabilia in front of us and Keith’s laptop brimming with old family photos he has coloured digitally.

Keith continues: “I met Lex at the speedboat races and then again at the pictures in Tewantin, and we started going out. Then she

got a job at Parkyn’s Boats. No family leverage, just got it on her merits, helping the boys check out the hire boats and also serving in the bait shop.”

Lexie chimes in: “Bloody George (Parkyn), he’d bring in these big wine barrels of chicken gut they sold for bait and tell me to get my hand right in there and stir it! Yuck!”

She disappears for a minute and returns bearing two exquisite decorative bottles of coloured sands from Teewah.

“Keith’s mum used to spend two days or more inserting the coloured patterns into the bottles, which were sold as souvenirs at the Parkyn shops. Aren’t they amazing?”

Keith finished his apprenticeship as a carpenter/joiner in Toowoomba, and when he and Lexie married they built a home there where they raised their kids.

Skilled in all trades, Keith was much in demand for building projects all over South East Queensland, and one day his brother phoned to tell him about a job being offered in Kawana. He travelled to the coast for interviews and got the job with an outfit called Transpack Kitchens, so the family relocated to the Sunshine Coast. Transpack went from strength to strength but its owners eventually accepted an offer from the giant Kern Corporation, who soon decided it didn’t fit their business model

Says Keith: “My manager and I were called down to see Kern management and were told they were going to shut it down. We had 55 guys on site and 30 in the factory and $1.2 million on the books, and they were going to sack us all!

“So we took it over and found most of the guys work again. We started in a shed in the industrial estate and took over the jobs that we were cancelling on behalf of Kern. We bought the tools we needed and away we went. We sold the business in ‘03 and the factories in 2021.”

His successful business career behind him, Keith Young has begun to devote more time to rediscovering his family history, and bringing some of its photos to life through a digital colouring process he found on the My Heritage website. While some historians and heritage archivists strongly oppose enhancing original historic images, when I discovered Keith’s colourised photos on the Who Lived In Noosa Before It Was Cool? Facebook page, I was fascinated by the contemporary feel it created in familiar old photos, particularly the ones of my own neighbourhood, Munna Point.

Says Keith: “I just do it for my own amusement, but I can see from the responses I get that it creates a new interest in our history, which can only be a good thing.”

Snags make a difference

By Alison Taylor The Tewantin Noosa Lions Club is a familiar presence at local events, including the recent Noosa Festival of Surfing.

If you were lucky enough to enjoy one of our tasty beef or veggie burgers, you may have wondered where the proceeds from your investment went.

You’ll be pleased to know that all the money raised goes to good causes. In fact, the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club just gave out almost $38,000 in our second funding round for 20222023.

The Tewantin Noosa Lions Club continues to be an integral part of our local community.

We are committed to making a positive impact, and our presence at events like the Noosa Festival of Surfing or the Noosa Australia Day Festival are just a couple of ways we strive to achieve this.

The club is made up of volunteers who work tirelessly to raise funds for charitable causes. In fact, all money raised is distributed to worthwhile projects.

The recent distribution of funds is testament to the hard work of Tewantin Noosa Lions Club members.

The money raised has been donated to a range of worthy causes, including major research projects and local community and youth projects.

One major research project that the Lions Club donated to is the Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation.

The foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancer and improving the quality of life for children and their families affected by cancer. Our donation supports research into childhood cancer and provides vital resources for families affected by the disease.

However, Lions clubs focus very clearly on their own community and strongly support local community and youth projects.

Local projects recently helped with donations from the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club include the Classy Ladies Christmas Appeal,

the Salvation Army homelessness appeal, Katie Rose Hospice, the Noosa Coastguard, the Noosa unit of the SES and the Cooroibah Rural Fire Service.

Youth projects supported this year include the Noosaville and Tewantin State Schools to provide breakfast programs, Youth Insearch (a community organisation that coordinates weekend programs focused on resolving is-

sues at a peer level for young people), the Sailability program at the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, as well as Sunny Kids.

Additionally, a donation was made to a young local man to assist with costs in participating in the World Duathlon Championships in Spain (Go Josh!).

Lions Clubs’ contributions to their local communities makes a difference. Club members are passionate about giving back to the community and improving people’s lives. If this sounds like a good thing to you, follow us on Facebook or call Paul on 0409622440 to see how you can be involved and help us in this rewarding work.

We often say that you get more back from being a Lion than you give.

So, the next time you buy a burger or a sausage from the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club, remember that your purchase is supporting a worthy cause. The money raised goes towards making a positive impact in the community, whether it’s through supporting research into childhood cancer or providing resources for local schools, individuals or community organisations.

Coolum club surfs to award of excellence win

Leigh McCready receives her award at The Women’s College, University of Queensland.

Leigh’s award The Women’s College within the University of Queensland recently announced the 2023 Alumnae Award winners at the annual award ceremony with local community leader Leigh McCready one of the four people recognised on the night.

The judges were impressed by the high calibre of finalists in their breadth of career and personal achievements in an extraordinary range of professional endeavours.

Leigh, who attended The Women’s College from 1995 – 1998 while completing her undergraduate degrees, won the Community Alumna Award.

She won the award for her contribution to the Noosa community, specifically her work leading the community campaign to revive the Peregian Surf Lifesaving Club and her leadership roles across a variety of organisations including Katie Rose Cottage Hos-

pice, the local Country Women’s Association, resident’s association Peregian Family & Friends and board roles with Olympics organisation Sunshine Coast 2032 and Tourism Noosa.

The Coolum Surf Club has again ridden a wave of success in the Keno and Clubs Queensland 2023 Awards of Excellence, collecting a major award at the recent gala dinner in Brisbane.

Nipping at the heels of last year’s Special Achievement Award win for Responsible Service of Alcohol and runner-up for Club of the Year (Intermediate), Coolum Surf Club has claimed top honours for Club Secretary/Manager of the Year in Mal Wright.

The recognition at this year’s awards demonstrates the club’s strength as a dedicated and highly professional organisation that is committed to excellence in all aspects of their operations.

And it continues the remarkable history of the club that almost ceased to exist 80 years ago.

After the Second World War, Coolum Surf Club was reduced to just two members. But those members slowly built it up into the much-loved club that it is today.

The club has previously said its mantra is “continuous improvement” underpinned

by its regular awards for service.

Mr Wright has been the general manager at the Coolum Surf Club for 11 years.

He joined the club after working in various hospitality venues.

Clubs Queensland chief executive officer Craig Harley said the region’s clubs continued to work closely with their communities, engaging with their members and with organisations working to improve the lives of others.

“We’ve seen a lot of change in our lives in these last few years but our clubs continue to provide invaluable service and social support for their members and for local communities,” Mr Harley said.

“Community clubs have a proud history of fostering local spirit and delivering topshelf facilities.

“Our annual awards night recognises some of the clubs who have gone above and beyond to engage with their communities.

Each of these clubs is well-supported by their members, who are passionate about reaching out to others.”

Wild things: Dr Chris Brown and Julia Morris return to South Africa for I’m a Celebrity…

Get Me Out of Here!

UNDER THE VINES ABC TV, Saturday, 8.20pm

I’M A CELEBRITY… GET ME OUT OF HERE! 10, Sunday, 7.30pm

Another year, another band of familiar (and not-so-familiar) “celebrities” are deposited into the jungle campsite. If you’ve managed to steer clear of the rumour mill about who will end up in the wilderness, tonight’s premiere will be a pleasant surprise. This year, the cast and crew have returned to the wilds of Africa, so expect tiger puns and elephant jokes galore from seasoned hosts Julia Morris and Dr Chris Brown. Last season’s winner, radio star Dylan Lewis, donated his hefty $100,000 to charity Lifeline. Set to feature an outspoken radio host and a sporting legend, viewers can feel good that this palaver is all for a worthy cause.

Since the pandemic, daydreaming about uprooting to the country to eke out an idyllic life on a vineyard has become a mainstream folly. In this charming and frothy Kiwi drama, Rebecca Gibney (pictured, Packed to the Rafters) and Charles Edwards (Downton Abbey) play a mismatched pair of strangers who somehow inherited a winery in New Zealand together. Of course, it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. As we near the end of this first season, Daisy and Louis are starting to warm to each other, with Gibney and Edwards exuding a palpable chemistry.

Tonight, Daisy is over the moon about Griffin (Dean O’Gorman) visiting, but the mood is soured

by Louis’ wallowing following his marriage break-up.

If you’ve studiously tuned in for the past 10 seasons of unwavering drama, betrayal, ferocious flirting and bad behaviour, you know what you’re in for with tonight’s finale reunion special: more drama, with a sly little reveal or surprise. Tuning in for this emotional wreckage season in and season out is undoubtedly an entertaining guilty pleasure: just make sure you take a moment to wash away the indiscretions and tune back into real (unscripted) life afterwards. The tumultuous couples face experts John Aiken, Mel Schilling and clinical sexologist Alessandra Rampolla (pictured) one final time to reflect on what they have (and haven’t) learnt.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? US SBS, Tuesday, 7.30pm

Some say that the less you know about an actor’s personal life, the more believable they are in any given role; there’s no risk of confusing the real with the fictitious. For this reason, many actors understandably prefer to keep their personal lives separate from their professional ones. Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston (pictured) is one such actor who seems to manage to dodge the paparazzi and any unwanted attention. But, we all have our weaknesses and Cranston’s is presumably the allure of genealogy and discovering nuggets from his family’s past. Get to know the star’s family story as he unearths an ancestor’s heroic dedication during the Civil War.

Legacy focus Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart was one of 500 community and business leaders, sports stars and youth representatives described as the nation’s “best, brightest and boldest minds“ who gathered last week for the Brisbane 2032 Legacy Forum.

The purpose of the gathering was to help shape the legacy vision of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Discussed at the forum were ideas raised by delegates as well as some of almost 12,000 ideas gathered through a three-month national Hopes and Dreams survey campaign which was responded to by people aged from under 18 to 80 across Australia and internationally from countries including US, UK, France, Japan and the Oceania region.

Ideas submitted related to the environment, infrastructure, sport and physical activity, First Nations people and culture, transport, health and wellbeing, community connections, jobs and the economy, innovation and technology, diversity, equality and inclusion.

Some ideas included free sport for every child, a modular athlete village that could be rezoned to residential, paperless Games and building world-standard and inclusive sporting infrastructure.

On the day, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced support for a Paralympic Centre of Excellence.

The centre, at the University of Queensland’s St Lucia campus, will be a world-leading facility helping participation and training for para-athletes in the lead-up to the 2032 Games, she said.

“A Paralympic Centre of excellence inspires more parathletes to compete in 2032,” the Premier said.

“But it also provides invaluable research and other opportunities for our community.

“This is what legacy is all about, the longlasting benefits to our community long after

Picture: ROB MACCOLL the closing ceremonies.“ All the ideas raised were to be collated and analysed to help inform the draft vision, themes and series of priorities.

Queenslanders and Australians will have the opportunity to provide feedback on these during public consultation in April and May before the Brisbane 2032 Legacy Plan is developed and released later this year.

“The legacy process is one way we are ensuring as many people as possible can share their ideas and share the pride of this oncein-a-lifetime opportunity,“ Ms Palaszczuk said.

“With an ambitious, clearly defined legacy plan, we can use the catalytic effect of the Games to elevate our lifestyles and the health of our communities, across economic, social, emotional and physical aspects,“ Brisbane 2032 organising committee president Andrew Liveris said.

“Let’s make it a plan which draws down on our regions’ strengths and pushes the boundaries on who we want to become on the global stage.”

Rent rises cut to annually The Queensland Government will limit rent increases to once a year in a move designed to balance the rights and interests of Queenslanders who rent, and property owners, to sustain healthy rental supply.

Reducing the frequency of increases from six months to 12 months is also consistent with most other jurisdictions throughout the country, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.

“The great majority of landlords do the right thing and look after their tenants – but for those who do not, this is a wake up call,“ Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.

It was one of several options for housing policy reform discussed at a Housing Roundtable in Brisbane this week.

The government also announced an additional $28 million to continue the Immediate Housing Response Package for another year, providing more than 600 emergency hotel accommodation places, rental and bond support payments and a further $3.9 million to food relief services.

That includes $3.3 million forthe provi-

sion of emergency relief supports, including vouchers, food parcels and contributions to payments such as electricity bills and $630,000 for SecondBite and OzHarvest to increase the food relief service.

Communities and Housing Minister Leeanne Enoch said the government had completed 816 new social housing builds since July 2021 with a further 588 under construction She said they were on track to start work on 13,000 social housing builds by 2027 and were investing $166.3 million in specialist homelessness services in 2022-23.

Additional housing announcements made this week included $600,000 to work with the Local Government Association of Queensland to develop 38 Local Housing Action Plans with local governments, land tax concessions for Build to Rent developments that provide a minimum affordable housing component and the launch of an Opportunities Portal for proposals that have the potential to deliver new housing stock.

Come on, take a free hit Opinion by Phil Jarratt Noosa Today seems to have been copping a bit of a flogging of late in various community forums.

Of course, in journalism, if everyone loves you all the time you simply aren’t doing your job properly, but as a colleague suggested to me the other day, “People seem to be much meaner than they were.”

That may or may not be true but what is undeniable is the fact that we live in a world in which writing a fury-filled letter to the editor is only one of a multitude of ways to vent, often without any semblance of fact to back the rant.

Social media provides an avenue for instant gratification like no other. It can be used for good in many ways, but also offers a free hit at an enemy, a settling of old scores, trial by innuendo, complete fabrication and sometimes and regrettably, old-fashioned hate-speech.

Mostly, however, its community incarnations are just full of harmless rants by people who could benefit from seeing a shrink, or at least a good editor. Occasionally you might find a well-written rant from a person who knows the issues and makes a good case, and that’s a welcome relief.

So the long threads of detrimental comments that have popped up on platforms such as Residents For Noosa in response to recent articles and letters published (or in some cases not published) in Noosa Today don’t bother me too much, even when I’m personally targeted.

Rod Ritchie, the moderator of that page and an occasional contributor to this masthead, is a fair man who makes every effort to balance the more out-there views of some of his correspondents. Even the fringe single-issue pseudo eco pages, in which the long-winded moderators are anything but moderate, I treat as you would a short, sharp passing of wind in a crowded room – unpleasant but only for a moment.

What is more annoying and slightly disappointing is when a respected community opinion forum like Noosa Matters joins the fray for a low blow with no evidence produced.

As an occasional contributor to the website I have great admiration for the way in which editor Ric Jay has pulled together a blend of quality opinionated content from across the community in little over a year. But novelist and former newspaperman Terry Quinn misses the mark, in my view, with his off the top of the head analysis of the woes of local print journalism.

Quoting HL Mencken’s “journalism is to politician as dog is to lamppost” as an opener, Terry goes on to lament the general decline of the quality of print journalism since the flight to the web, before localising it: “What

Noosa Today news-hounds uphold the glorious tradition. has all that got to do with Noosa? We used to be served by two free newspapers, one of them a bi-weekly, plus a daily out of Maroochydore.

Today, only one remains in print form. I do not wish to criticise the latter unduly, but let’s just say it is not the sort of watchdog that Mencken had in mind.”

Mencken died in 1956, long before the arrival of the internet and the instant experts of social media. For enlightenment on newspapers in the modern world, I prefer philosopher Alain de Botton (born 1969): “To look at the paper is to raise a seashell to one’s ear and to be overwhelmed by the roar of humanity.” I can hear the roar now, even as I write!

But to get back to Terry’s lesson in the failings of local print, he says: “The result is that Noosa Council, once held to account by dogged (excuse the pun) journalists for decades, has enjoyed less scrutiny in recent years. That is

problematic at a time when many residents feel we are reaching a crossroads. A turning point when one crazy decision … could mark the beginning of the end of the laid-back, lifeaffirming Noosa we’ve known and loved.”

Noosa Today is the only shire-wide paper we have, so there is no question about where the blow torch is aimed, but Terry’s case simply doesn’t stand up to the most elementary investigation, which might involve going to Noosaville Library and examining the decades of bound Noosa News, which I’ve done in recent times.

I’ve been a columnist for this paper since it began a dozen years ago, and a senior journalist for it since it returned to print three years ago. It is my informed opinion that this masthead has done more for balanced reporting and investigation of our institutions in its relatively short lifetime than the others have done

Picture: MUBI.COM over half a century.

Which is not to say we always get it right.

The issue that has sparked recent on-line fury is a case in point. We ran a letter from a well-respected citizen gently poking fun at our current council’s priorities, suggesting we should seek to elect “environmentally astute and resident-friendly” councillors next time.

The mayor used her regular column about community issues to give the letter writer both barrels in an unnecessarily personal attack, and we doubled down by also running a letter from a leading mayoral supporter saying the same thing. With a flood of letters in the coming fortnight on other matters, the several letters supporting the original and criticising the mayor’s column didn’t get a run. They should have.

But we move on. Sometimes balance takes time.

Meat industry adopts Artificial Intelligence processing Meat processing at Kilcoy Pastoral Company took a step into the future this week with the introduction of artificial intelligent carcase carving.

The system has a small footprint, operates on artificial intelligence, and was installed in March following Australian Meat Processing Corporation (AMPC) investment into advanced manufacturing. The system works by first stabilising the carcase. An artificial intelligence system then analyses an image of the carcase and instructs a robotic cutting saw on where to make the appropriate cuts.

“It’s one of the first AI-driven automated beef scribing systems in Australia. The benefits include improving yields, greater consistency in scribing operations and most importantly assisting worker safety,“ AMPC chief executive officer Chris Taylor said.

“It will be trialled over a 12-month period to determine whether the technology can achieve the necessary performance benchmarks. We are upbeat about this investment which could deliver significant returns to the processing industry and look forward to seeing the results.”

The investment involves the design and manufacture of the system which is able to perform the four scribing cuts required for their operations. The project also includes 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 31 March, 2023

Kilcoy Pastoral Company uses AI to carve carcasses. testing and installation.

The system is heavily focussed on the principles of artificial intelligence. This technology relies on building data to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the operation of the equipment. Accurate scribing cuts are

extremely important due to the high value primals located within the rib structure.

The industry has trialled other beef scribing applications in the past.

Kilcoy Global Foods president Jiah Falcke

said, “The adoption of the new AI beef scribing system is an example of the modern practices being adopted in the industry to improve efficiency, safety and yield.

“We are thrilled to have this technology at our Kilcoy plant. Its implementation has been driven by our leadership team for a number of years and its successful adoption reinforces our position as a leader in the beef industry.

“Prior to automation this was a skilled manual task which required the use of a hazardous circular cutting saw. We will now be able to extract more value from the carcase while improving workplace safety and contribute to labour supply sustainability.”

AMPC is working together with Intelligent Robotics on this investment. Intelligent robotics electrical engineering manager Jonathan Cook said, “We are thrilled for the opportunity to develop and deliver this exciting technology to the Australian red meat industry with the support of AMPC and Kilcoy Global Foods.”

“We are passionate about engineering novel solutions to add value and improve safety for our meat industry customers, and it’s great to see all the hard work come together in bringing the IR-Scribe system to life at Kilcoy’s processing plant.”

OPINION

On the Soapbox Hugh Powell, Partner & Sunshine Coast Leader, Travis Schultz & Partners

Leg ropes in the line up Last month the coastlines along South-East Queensland and Northern NSW experienced their best swell event for the year so far.

The source of this was Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle which developed in the Coral Sea and tracked offshore from Queensland, eventually wreaking havoc as an ex-tropical cyclone in New Zealand.

As is usually the case with these types of swell-producing events, the most manageable breaks were limited to the points. Naturally, crowds tend to become very concentrated in these areas during these swells.

During this recent swell Matthew Cassidy was surfing at Wategos Beach in Byron Bay when he was struck by a stray surfboard. He suffered life-threatening injuries. As the ABC reported, a leg rope was used as a tourniquet to stem significant blood loss before he was flown to Gold Coast Hospital.

This recent incident has renewed an ongoing argument about the use of leg ropes while surfing. This debate has waxed and waned over the years in response to incidents like this, which appear to be happening more frequently.

The apparent increase in the number of surfing-related incidents is perhaps unsurprising.

Surfing has always been a popular past time for many Australians given the seemingly endless coastline open to us. According to recent data from the Australian Sports Commission, surfing was one of the fastest growing activi-

Hugh Powell ties during the pandemic with 196,000 people over age 15 learning to surf.

This is off the back of the wave of migration to coastal areas over the past few years.

Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, recently topped the charts for net internal migration, with 71,049 people moving to the Sunshine Coast and 92,661 people moving to the Gold Coast over the period 2016 - 2021.

With swathes of the population moving into the coastal paradise, a boom in surfing numbers was inevitable.

Increased crowds during peak swell events, naturally increases the risk of injury to those out there who are simply trying to enjoy the best of it.

Several recent studies have analysed the

nature and frequency of surfing related injuries. A 2021 study analysed 8066 acute surfing injuries, among 8393 surfers. Of these injuries, lacerations were the most common surfing injuries occurring about 39.1 per cent of the time.

The most common cause of an acute surfing injury was being struck by a surfboard (either the person’s own board, or someone else’s) – this was the cause of nearly half of all surfingrelated injuries according to that study.

The most obvious way to reduce the risk of these injuries occurring, is by using a leg rope. The primary purpose of a leg rope is to avoid a surfboard from being washed away when you fall off. It clearly guards against (but doesn’t entirely avoid) the exact types of injury mentioned above, caused by stray surfboards dancing around in the waves. Ironically, some studies have shown relatively high incidence of hand and finger injuries associated with the leg rope recoiling.

Ultimately though, what we have is a relatively cheap, easy, and almost universally adopted piece of equipment that significantly reduces the risk of another person in the ocean being struck by a stray surfboard. While leg ropes obviously do not avoid the risk entirely, they do significantly reduce the risk of incidents like this happening.

When surfing in crowded breaks or where there are swimmers and children playing in the shore break, it is difficult to understand why you would not take one small step to protect them from possibly significant injury in

the event you fall.

Even the most experienced surfers regularly fall.

The ocean is inherently unpredictable. The unpredictability is part of the beauty of surfing. Perhaps this is why competitions held in wave pools like the Surf Ranch are so bland in comparison (that is a topic for another time).

From a legal perspective, a surfer could potentially be held liable if they are not wearing a leg rope and their stray board strikes and injures another. There are numerous practical challenges with such a claim, applying to both the injured person (due to potential defences that might arise and the likelihood of recovering any compensation from an individual in the absence of an insurer) and any respondent to the claim (in explaining why they do not take a simple measure to protect others from what is a reasonably foreseeable risk).

I am certainly not arguing for some sort of rule or law about mandatory use of leg ropes.

This would be impractical and contrary to the essence of surfing.

However, common sense to me comes down to a simple risk-reward analysis. Not wearing a leg rope in crowded breaks has little reward or benefit but comes with potentially great risk to others.

I am also not suggesting this applies to every session. If you head out at a beach break and there is no-one around, go for it. But if you are heading out among a crowd, why not? It’s common sense, isn’t it?

OPINION

Land value hike While local and state government politicians loudly vocalise about the social inequities of housing, and particularly lack of reasonable rental stock, the Valuer General further aggravates the issue by (effectively) more than doubling Noosa residential rates.

Noosa locals should be alarmed that recent valuations ignore the Local Government’s planning documents (Flood, CHAP & Noosaville Flood overlay) which, without reservation, assess that land at Noosaville is at high risk of riverine flooding. Staff and councillors base their public warnings on undisputed science of climate dhange. Council is adamant that within the coming decade or so, Noosaville by the river precinct will be regularly inundated, with destruction of council infrastructure.

Financial pain is already felt by the negative response to home insurance applications by insurers who run when the 4566 Noosaville postcode is mentioned. Those with any interest offer an exorbitant premium for a modest house (some $24,000 - $64,000 - Pensioners API were $12,000), with 4566 being synonymous with council’s flood overlay and (published) predictions.

Published documents, freely available on council’s website provide hard evidence (compiled, accepted and promoted) that it is likely (riverside) Noosaville land could be uninhabitable and valueless within the foreseeable future. Noosa homeowners might agree that the Valuer General has overlooked the harsh scientific evidence of flooding (current and predicted), indeed of total inundation in their increased valuations.

But joy, the Valuer General says, objections can be made (60 days), if “constraints (flood - inundation) on the use of the land support a different value”. Accordingly, Noosa home owners can ask that their land is reassessed, rather than meekly accept their clearly unwarranted imposed valuation (visit VG website).

Short stays get short shift Noosa has only one industry that reliably keeps it alive and kicking – tourism.

It also has a majority of councillors doggedly engaged in what looks like an ideological push to minimise visitors to the shire, using short stay letting as a major lever.

By imposing a policy of punitive charges, fees and rules, these elected officials seem to be on a crusade to reduce residential and resort short stay letting.

The problem is made more pernicious because Noosa has only one tourist hotel. The vast bulk of the tourism industry is kept afloat by resorts – built complexes of individuallyowned units overseen by appointed managers who have bought the management rights as a venture into small business.

The Noosa Plan, renewed every 10 years or so, mandates that tourist accommodation be approved in just two precincts around the Hastings Street seaside and Gympie Terrace riverside zones, supplemented by a few resorts with visitor only approvals in coastal and nearby areas.

Some other resorts are located in residential zones.

In addition, private properties in residential zones have long been used for short stay accommodation, providing the tourism industry with diversity and flexibility.

The most recent Noosa Plan, adopted in 2020, is the first to prohibit short term letting of residential houses, defining this to be inconsistent land use.

The anti-tourism cabal on the council claimed the ban was necessary because short stay letting diminished both resident amenity and, even more speciously, the availability of affordable housing in residential zones.

Furthermore, since 2020 there has been a council push to discourage short term letting by charging disproportionately higher council rates, and also additional fees under a Short Stay Letting and Home Hosted Accommodation Local Law. Astonishingly, these elevated rates and fees are imposed not just on council-approved short term accommodation in residential zones but on units in resorts.

This one size fits all price signal - said to be aimed at protecting resident amenity and providing affordable housing - is, in fact, a severe impost on visitor accommodation. It induces scarcity and attacks the viability of investment in resort units and management rights.

Owning a resort unit in Noosa has always

been a risky investment decision, the seasonal nature of the shire’s tourism offering wildly fluctuating returns.

These new restrictions and costs may encourage resort unit owners to live in or lease to permanent tenants, thereby reducing the availability of visitor accommodation and, irrationally, diverting visitors to short term accommodation in residential zones.

People can buy into and live in resorts built before 2006 which were approved for both residential and visitor use. Planning legislation does not allow retrospective changes by subsequent planning schemes.

The 2022-23 council budget reveals that owners of units providing short stay letting in resorts and tourist accommodation zones pay double the council rates of owner-occupiers of residential units.

In addition, the Short Stay Letting and Home Hosted Accommodation Local Law imposes a range of other costs on resort units - not just on dwellings in residential zones including an initial $320 application fee and then $200 annual renewal.

Rumours on what else may be in store for short stay providers have abounded since January when a council meeting amending the Noosa Plan was deemed confidential and closed to the public.

The latest rumour claims that general rates are about to be doubled for all short stay letting. That may or may not be true. However, we know the council does have the ability to do this. But taking a sledgehammer to short stays in resorts and tourist zones just because you can is detrimental.

The Noosa Plan defines the purpose of tourist accommodation zones as providing short term accommodation and relevant small scale services, facilities and infrastructure.

To help reduce short stay letting in residential zones, it would make more sense to encourage, not discourage, short stays in resorts and tourist accommodation zones. The cabal of four has got its policy back to front.

Basically, the one size fits all approach just does not work. It is counterproductive and is likely to evoke a negative ripple effect throughout the Noosa economy.

Cane toads A carpet python has been on my property for over 40 years. We know this by the distinctive markings. As it grew older and a lazier hunter we have twice caught it wrapped around large cane toads but unfortunately, last week, we were too late to save it from ingesting a smaller one. This is the last python we have seen for a few years

Packed first Bonza Cairns flight for popular service A packed flight on one of Bonza’s most popular routes so far got wheels up this week between the Sunshine Coast and Cairns.

Since going on sale in late January, the new direct service has proven popular particularly for the upcoming school holidays and for winter sun escapes.

Monday’s inaugural Cairns service comes after Bonza reached 100,000 seats sold on the Fly Bonza app and ahead of the airline’s Melbourne base launch on Thursday, in addition to five more routes this week.

“Last week, we sold our 100,000th seat on the Fly Bonza app. This week, we begin taking customers to Cairns, Newcastle and Melbourne as well as launch new routes into Whitsunday Coast, Mackay and Rockhampton,” said Tim Jordan, chief executive officer of Bonza who travelled with customers on the inaugural flight.

“People of the Sunshine Coast, Gympie, Moreton Bay and Brisbane are booking direct flights to Cairns for as low as $79 per person one way. Why wouldn’t you, when for less than a tank of fuel you can be transported to the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef?”

“In return, locals from Cairns and surrounds are taking advantage of low cost fares to the Sunshine Coast to take in the plethora of surf beaches, craft breweries or to see friends and family more often,” added Jordan.

“Linking two of Queensland’s most iconic tourism destinations is a great way for Bonza to launch its Cairns services,” said Cairns Air-

port chief executive officer Richard Barker.

“The new Bonza routes will add thousands of additional seats to the Cairns market per week once the schedule is ramped up.”

Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive officer Andrew Brodie joined Jordan on the flight and threw out the purple welcome mat to Cairns travellers to the Sunny Coast.

“Cairns and Tropical North Queensland is a travel destination for not only Sunshine Coast locals but for people from all over the world, and getting there from the beautiful Sunshine Coast just got easier,” Mr Brodie said.

“For locals, it means they don’t have to go south to fly north and for visitors to the region, who want to explore further north, they can now do so easily and affordably.

“This new route is a game changer, in terms of the ease in which travel can be facilitated through the Sunshine Coast Airport, and it will have a positive impact on the economy of both regions which are highly sought after destinations.”

Bonza’s Sunshine Coast to Cairns flights operate five times per week including a Friday to Monday option for SE Queenslanders wanting a weekend away. On Wednesday, the airline will introduce two flights per week between Cairns and Mackay and on Friday, a twice weekly service between Cairns and Rockhampton will kick off.

Travellers are encouraged to download the Fly Bonza app which is the only place to book direct.

Oriana choir to sing Mozart Acclaimed Sunshine Coast ensemble Oriana Choir will present their first concert for this year in April: Oriana Sings Mozart Vespers and the Music of Ola Gjeilo.

This sublime balance of work by a master composer and a stunning contemporary will premiere at Maleny Community Centre on 23 April, then be performed at St John’s Cathedral in Brisbane on 29 April and at Stella Maris School, Maroochydore, on 30 April.

The choir will be conducted by Kim Kirkman and accompanied by Oriana artistic director Fay Baker and the Serenity String Quartet.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Vespers is a masterpiece of profoundly expressive and lyrical composition with shining, brilliant baroque allegros.

Mozart wrote the Vespers in Salzburg when he was 24 years old, shortly after his mother had died in Paris.

As with several other compositions from this period, he used this piece to work through his grief, especially apparent in the Laudate Dominum which is described as one of Mozart’s finest tunes.

Also being performed will be a selection of stunning and sublime works by contemporary Norwegian composer, Ola Gjeilo.

Patrons who have enjoyed Oriana’s performances in the past will recognise the composer’s work from the choir’s celebrated productions of Sunrise Mass.

Ola Gjeilo is one of the most frequently performed composers in the choral world.

His emotionally-charged compositions are admired for their hauntingly beautiful melodies and harmonies, moving lyrics and sparkling accompaniments.

“Oriana is so excited to be back for a new year of singing and we’re looking forward to

Oriana Choir will perform Mozart Vespers and the Music of Ola Gjeilo.

The adults will enjoy the funny references to the movies while learning all the young and ‘hip’ slang the kids are all about!”

He also liked the costumes: “We found the costumes to be fabulous, larger than life and eye-catching, while the performers involved the kids and got them up to form part of the show and actually be the seven cool dudes.

Very cool concept. The modern soundtrack included age-appropriate rap tracks that got the whole audience moving, even mums and dads!”

The movie stars Jazz Laker and Josh Heuston.

See Finally Me - screening at Majestic Cinemas Nambour.

From NRL to making films

By Abbey Cannan Former NRL player Jason Stevens has taken the same drive from the field onto the big screens with the release of his first feature film, Finally Me. He says footy was a breeze compared to filmmaking, initially writing the film back in 2011.

More than a decade later, Finally Me is finally hitting cinemas across the country, and Sunshine Coast locals can catch the screening at Majestic Cinemas Nambour from Thursday 30 March.

Set in the 1990s in the competitive world of high school cheerleading, Soula defies her father’s dream for her to take over the family souvlaki business and finds herself chosen to lead her team to victory, despite being a complete novice and far from the stereotypical cheerleader.

By now you might be thinking; “What’s an ex-rugby league player doing making a cheer film?”

“Well, I loved cheerleading films and my grandfather is Greek, so I wanted to blend the two themes into a film that would encourage younger people who had a dream but deep down didn’t believe they could achieve it,” Jason said.

“The process of making the film was challenging, and although all independent films are challenging, I must say, this was at a different level.

“Firstly, we began to film just as Omicron had broken out in Australia, there was a national food shortage because drivers were going down with Covid, and also, we had to deal with El Niño which makes scheduling challenging when it comes to outdoor shoots... you’re already limited because locations have their own commitments.

“Yep, you have to love challenges but I feel like in a way that being in the trenches with rugby league has prepared me to dig deep and just see the possibilities, when the horizon doesn’t look so positive.”

Like Soula in the film, Jason was not your average sports star.

“I was a bigger kid. Really, quite big, and the odds were against me ever making it in terms of playing first grade,” Jason said.

“And so there was really a point where I had to think, ‘Who are you going to listen to? Are you going to back yourself and are you going to do all you can within your power to go for what’s true to your heart?’ That was the case for me within my rugby league career and in film.”

34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 31 March, 2023

Former NRL player Jason Stevens has taken the same drive from the field onto the big screens.

Soula defies her father’s dream and finds herself chosen to lead her team to victory.

He went on to play rugby league at the highest level (NSW and Australian representative) for 14 seasons with both the Cronulla Sharks and St George Dragons.

Since retiring from the game in 2005, Jason’s charismatic, warm and witty nature catapulted him onto our TV screens when he featured and had his own segments on The Footy Show, ABC’s The Fat, Ch 7’s Matty John’s show and, currently, Sydney Weekender with his wife Beck.

His various roles on TV have seen him swap smackdown stories with The Rock, flex his muscles at a blushing Nicole Kidman on the red carpet, sing with The Village People, talk a good plan with Liam Neeson. He learnt dance moves from Carmen Electra, though it didn’t help him, as he finished last in the 2010 Dancing with the Stars series.

He may not have the disco moves, but Jason sure has proven he can write, direct and produce a film filled with a star-studded cast.

“Deep down I think I was meant to write, produce and direct Finally Me and in many ways I learnt to make films from my mother,” he said.

“No, she wasn’t in the industry. My dad left when we were young and my sister was involved in a bad road accident. Somehow she managed to do two jobs and make ends meet with four kids, one now with special needs. She handled pressure, spotted a bargain and was resilient.

“She had a vision that kept her going. That’s the nuts and bolts of filmmaking.”

Jason said casting so many roles and cheerleaders was quite the task on a tight budget, especially during a pandemic where every person on set required a Covid test.

But he managed to score one of the most influential and hottest names under 25 in Australia at the moment, Josh Heuston.

Josh shot to international fame thanks to

the Netflix series Heartbreak High, which was filmed after Finally Me. “He’s gone on to leaps and bounds, and Heartbreak High struck a cord internationally for Netflix, and now he’s scored a HBO Max series,” Jason said.

“It’s pretty cool what he’s getting up to and I could never have afforded him if I got him this year,” Jason laughed.

Jason hopes to see communities across the country step out to support independent Aussie films.

“I hope the film resonates with our target audience. I’m always laughing when I watch it but the aim is for other people to laugh as well,” he said.

“I continually tried to find ways to up the comedy and would really like people to walk out feeling happy. I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s true, and also, I hope the theme of never giving up will inspire someone to take that chance, even if at first, like Soula, you make a fool of yourself.

“That’s all part of risk taking. As it’s been said, ‘the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward’.”

What’s next for Jason?

“I have nine other scripts, some great true Aussie stories and many for the international market, so I will do my best to get these made,” he said.

“One thing for sure, I’m in the film industry for the long haul.”

It has come around again.

The first Sunday of each month at Noosa Botanic Gardens is always special.

And the first Sunday of this month is nigh, on 2 April.

It’s your chance to capture the colours of the changing seasons with a guided walk at 8.30am through the meandering paths of the gardens, and get expert advice on what’s growing and what you can do in your garden.

Then at 10am it’s time to get your chairs or blanket out and head down to the poinciana trees, grab a coffee, then sit back to enjoy some fine music supplied by Andy Higgins and friends - the repertoire specially chosen to make your Sunday a laid-back, easy-going affair.

At TK Noosa Shutters and Blinds our focus is supplying the highest quality indoor and outdoor blinds at the lowest price.

History made in Ultra-Trail

By Abbey Cannan Elite adaptive athlete Natasha Price and her coach Adam Shepherd made history over the weekend as the first ever adaptive athletes to complete a trail event, smashing the Noosa Ultra-Trail.

One of the premier events on the Australian running calendar, it’s now the largest trail run event in Queensland in only its second year, with 1500 runners taking part.

The event 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, which was taken out by Andrew Dey, finishing in just 9:23:45.

Last year’s female 100km winner Roxanne Shahtahmasebi, who spends her days as a doctor and a mother of two, took out back to back wins in the 100km Ultra-Trail, finishing in 11:45:56.

Noelis Rheault, who finished in second place at 10:53:16, said, “It was great to be able to finish stronger than I was during much of the race and finish in second place behind Andrew Dey, who put on a masterclass of how to run in such suffocating heat.”

Shaun Pettit took out the top spot in the Hinterland Traverse 80km at 8:07:09, while Carol Robertson was the first female across the line in third place at 8:44:51.

Event director Nick Stewart said it was a tough day for runners but the atmosphere in the race precinct was full of energy as family and friends cheered loved ones home.

“We had some fantastic stories of personal achievement, with many runners stepping up to conquer a longer distance, participating in their first ultra event or running for special personal reasons,” Nick said. “Female runners dominated in the Forest 15km, with female runners back first overall.”

SPORT NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

The Women’s Open was won by double Olympic gold medalist Susie O’Neill.

Game faces on before the Champion Team event with NBBS (yellow) and the Hawaiian team (green).The local Sunshine Coast stars the Sun Coast Sea Otters swept all before them to claim the crown.

Best Coolum Wedge ever Competitors and spectators at the Coolum Wedge held over the weekend of 24-26 March were adamant this was the best bodysurfing event ever held.

The bodysurfing tribe from around Australia and the world came together for three days, and competition organiser Darren Verrenkemp said the stoke was off the charts for the duration.

Friday was the world’s first IBSA (International Body Surfing Association) event in history, where successful competitors gained points to qualify for the World Tour Final to be held in Hawaii.

After all the knock-out and progression heats, the women’s final was desperately close, with only 0.1 separating first and second.

It was eventually taken out by Queenslander Ally Zillman with Lilly Kelly from NSW just falling short. Third was Novocastrian Caitlin Callahan with local favourite Lyla Crouch close by in fourth place.

The IBSA men’s competition attracted a field of over 40 of the sport’s best watermen.

After ferocious rounds of heats, quarters and semis, the field was reduced to four for the final.

Local Jack Lewis produced a superb performance to take out the world’s first IBSA event, edging out iron man Ky Kinsela and Jack Macrae.

The Wedge events ran all weekend with 120 competitors battling it out across five divisions.

The Saturday highlight was unquestionably the Champion Team Super Heat.

Among the exceptionally strong teams entered with North Sydney Body Surfer and The Hawaiian Team. However, the local team Sun Coast Sea Otters, comprising Darren Verrenkamp, Tallow Crouch, Lyla Crouch, Jay Van Deurse and Jack Lewis, turned in a flawless performance to run away with the win.

This was the event the competitors loved

competing in the most. At the end of the heat, every single competitor swam back out and caught a single party wave in together, with 20 of the world’s best bodysurfers on one wave.

Sunday was Finals Day for the Wedge as the fields were narrowed down to the final fortunate few.

The Juniors Division was taken out by 11-year-old local girl Tallow Crouch, a superb performance against competitors of both genders and up to 17-years-old.

The podium was also filled by locals Kaden Wallis and Taj Barraclough who have podiumed in the same event in previous years.

The Tribal Elders (over 55s) was won by local Bill Moore, with Chip Bradshaw and previous winner Darren Verrenkamp filling the podium.

The Masters (over 35s) was won by another local in Adam Baldwin, his first big win. Sydney-based Richie Evans was second with Red Bull photographer Trent Mitchell coming in third.

The Women’s Open was won by double Olympic gold medalist Susie O’Neill who showed she has lost none of her form in the water. She edged out defending champion Lyla Crouch with IBSA winner Ally Zillman taking out third.

Darren said the Men’s Open final produced arguably the best bodysurfing heat ever held in Australia.

The five finalists produced an epic display for the crowd, with the two main protagonists from the IBSA event, Jack and Ky, soon separating themselves.

Like two heavyweight boxers they went blow-for-blow, wave-for wave with extraordinary rides, one after the other. In the end Jack edged out Ky in this battle for the ages, with local boy Jan Van Deurse grabbing the bronze.

Competitors are already dreaming of Wedge ’24.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Here we go again, Tigers It’s that time of the year, pre-seasons have been run in the hot humid conditions, as usual, practice games completed, jumpers presented at the annual season launch and now all that awaits is Redlands in Round 1 this Saturday.

The Rococo Noosa Tigers Senior Mens teams will take in the very strong Redland Bay Sharks at Victoria Point in Brisbane this Saturday to begin their 2023 QAFL campaign.

It’s ironic really that these two teams meet again at the same place where the Noosa boys exited the 2022 finals in a thrilling battle by just 13 points.

Plenty of personnel changes at the Tigers with well over 20 new faces coming in to our senior ranks with head coach Chris Rourke and director of footy Ben Collins working feverishly over the summer to recruit quality that will continue to see the Noosa senior mens team involved at the pointy end.

The Tigers pre-season practice match form was solid without being spectacular however never did their best 22 play together, in fact, far from it.

Once again the Tiger outfit will look to the class and experience of local boys Laskey, Fitzpatrick, Buntain, O’Dwyer, Stack and gun forward Wilson with the form of Pettigrove and returning Noosa Junior and 2020 premiership

Senior men’s head coach Chris Rourke and director of football addressing the crowd at last Sunday’s season launch.

Ex-Echuca defender Tom Monaghan looks like he will make a huge difference to the Tigers fortunes whilst the Crisp boys from Mytleford, Vernon from Phillip Island and Dawson from Ballarat will be more than a handful for opposition sides in 2023.

Our men’s reserve grade team under the tutelage of Tait Niddrie will be strengthened

by the increased depth the Tigers have been able to harness over the pre season while Jed Costigan’s Colts, while depleted numbers-wise a month ago, seem to be pulling together and their showing against Mt Gravatt in the final practice game was more than impressive.

The 57th Tom Quilty Gold Cup and National Championship is the premier event on the sports calendar for endurance horse riding in Australia and the TQ23 organising committee are working towards ensuring it will be a roaring success.

After this years’ Quilty was moved by the sport’s national body from Victoria to the Stirling’s Crossing Equestrian Complex just outside of Imbil, an enthusiastic band of club supporters has been working tirelessly since December last year organising the week of activities.

Club president and TQ23 event director Kim Moir said that, while the club took on organising the event on pretty late notice, the organising team had come together really well and were on track to ensure this year’s Quilty will be a fantastic success.

“The experience gained in organising the 2019 Tom Quilty has been a huge benefit to committee as we have been able to quickly decide on what works and what can be done more effectively,’’ Kim said.

“That has meant the team has been able to plan and organise activities to a very high standard very quickly.

“We are really confident TQ23 will be a fabulous week for everyone involved.”

The club is anticipating about 300 horses and their riders, and another 800 to 1000 support crew, officials and volunteers to descend on the Stirling’s Crossing Equestrian Complex for the week in June.

The competition at Stirling’s involves riders completing a 160km race on horseback through the Imbil State Forest and has attracted much interest from owners of the best horses and most accomplished endurance riders in Australia.

This year’s Quilty is also shaping as a truly international affair with a number of competitors attending from USA, UAE, UK, New Zealand and Japan.

The course has now been agreed and will be a five-leg progression on the dirt roads and fire trails through the Imbil State Forest.

Much of the committee’s focus is now on putting the finishing touches to the infrastructure required at the ride base and activities for such a large influx of competitors and support crew.

Boxing champs hit coast Impact Boxing and Fitness Academy Cooroy, owned and operated by head coach Mark Evans, hosted the very first Sunshine Coast Regional Boxing Championships on Saturday 25 March.

Held in the stadium at the Noosa District High School Cooroy, the tournament was very successful with boxing teams coming from Brisbane, Gold Coast and North Queensland.

The response was outstanding with some 200 nominations, 10 of which came from the local Impact Club. From this number they matched some 66 bouts. Needless to say, the stadium was a full house.

Originally known as the Young Guns, it is now in its 12th year.

“My partner Kylie and I came up with the ideal of bringing a boxing championship to the Sunshine Coast, thus introducing a new concept to our community.

“Happy to say we have had great support from local businesses, all keen to get behind this great new idea.

“I definitely think this will be the beginning of something big for our boxing community.

The response had been above all expectations.”

The year 2023 certainly started with a bang for Boxing Queensland, of which Mark Evans is president and the Boxing Australia’s Queensland Futures coach.

As such Evans has run a development camp in Cairns, a similar two- day camp in Brisbane and, following this while in Darwin, with a team ran yet another development camp.

Impact Boxing coach Mark Evans with Isaiah Martin with his dad Luke Martin Add to this, the boxing season started with the recent Boxing Queensland Novice Titles held in Brisbane.

This tournament attracted a large number of nominations. This resulted in 120 bouts being contested over three days. Our local team performed well bringing home three gold and

one silver medal.

This tournament is great for our novice boxers (15 bouts and under). It was a great opportunity for four of our debutant boxers who all boxed well above their experience level.

One of our standouts was 10-year-old Isaiah Martin who was having his first bout, weighing

in at a massive 28kg.

Isaiah has boxing in his blood. Being the son of Luke Martin, who fights out of the Impact stable, he has been following his dad into the gym since he could walk so the progression into the ring seemed inevitable. It is not known how many 28kg boxers are out there, so opponents may be scarce, however, we wish him well.

“For the first championship tournament of this kind to be run in Cooroy,” said Evans, “we are indeed very happy with the overall result. A big thank you to our supporters, sponsors and above all the Noosa District High School for your ongoing support.”

Outrigger Club This week members of the Outriggers Club gathered to pay their respect to a highly regarded member of the paddling community who recently passed away, a man in the community who obviously held their respect.

Danny Topfer, affectionately known in the paddling community as Toppy, was full of enthusiasm and energy.

His outgoing personality was responsible for pulling in many new members to the sport, and in doing so created many numerous exciting events.

Toppy will be missed by all.

In keeping with the traditions of the sea, members paddled out and formed a circle to honour and say goodbye to their comrade, gone but not forgotten. Vaya Con Dios, Toppy, Vaya Con Dios.

Memories flow at Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving 40th For the members of the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club, both past and present, the afternoon of Saturday 18 March was certainly be an occasion to remember as a large number of the above named gathered in the club function room to celebrate their 40th year of patrolling and 30 years of the Nipper movement.

All those who came to bathe on this beautiful stretch of beach, be they locals, interstate or overseas, all returned home safety. Not one life was lost. On top of this (10yrs on) those little ones known as Nippers, were training to keep this way of life on Sunshine Beach progressing into the future.

For one member, Jane Pieters, it was certainly a time to reflect, and in doing so, she took the time to put history and names on paper. According to this, it all started in the late ‘70s when a Sunshine Beach local, Marjorie Tripp, began pushing for community members to form a stand -alone surf lifesaving club on her local beach. And so, it came about that the club was formed with several experienced lifesavers who migrated from other clubs.

Saturday October 3 saw the first patrol on Sunshine Beach and patrolling members consisted of Mark Campbell, Gordon Clements and Garry Begam. The equipment they used consisted of a couple of boards, a reel and other basics, all of which were donated and stored, (in 1981), in the first clubhouse, a garden shed with one of the best views on the coast.

Those were the days when members met and socialised at the Reef Hotel where they ran raffles to help raise funds for vitally needed equipment. Of course, the main problem was extra equipment. This would require more 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 31 March, 2023

Inaugural patrol at Sunshine Beach Surf Club in 4 October, 1981 - Gordon Clements, Gary Biggam and Mark Campbell. All three helped build the first surf club.

Inaugural president of Sunshine Beach Surf Club Vic Guest and current president Johnny Gooderham space, so the concept of a clubhouse, started to take shape.

Then in 1983, the building which would also contain a supporters club, a major benefit towards raising funds, was commenced and opened by the then-State Premier Sir Joh Bjielke Petersen in March 1984.

Another highlight was the attendance of

the first patrol members, clubbies who met again for the first time in many years. With approximately 200 old and current members in attendance, (under the sea eagle banner) there was lots of laughter from the many stories retold.

Supporter club president and life member Warick Redwood, led the afternoon festivities. Current Surf Club president John Gooderham gave foundation members and old boys a big welcome, and congratulations on massive and successful achievements, “40 years- service and no lives lost while members on patrol”.

Regarding the Sunshine Beach Nippers 30 years history, inaugural Nippers president

Hilary Harding gave the attendees a potted history of the first years (1993/94). This was followed by Janis and Rod Evans who spoke about their involvement in setting up and supporting the first cadets in 1987.

Among the many members of note was Scott Braby - joined Sunshine in 1986 and is now a life member. The contribution of this old boy was just one of the many in Sunshine Beach Club, who quietly made an outstanding contribution to beach safety within Noosa Shire. It was in 1991 that Scotty, along with fellow member of the of the Noosa Shire Lifeguard Service Peter Whadcoat, became members of the Beach and Bar Safety Committee.

This committee also consisted of representative from the Noosa Coastguard and the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club. It was formed with the purpose of constructing three radio interlinked controlled facilities in select positions (from Noosa’s Main Beach to Noosa Bar) to provide optimum surveillance of these Beach and Bar Areas.

This project was not only successful but unique. It became the first and only, “3 Observation Safety Tower System,” to be built anywhere on the coast line of Australia. Not only that, but also the only time that such a beach safety organisation was built, by uniting three water safety organisations: lifeguards, lifesavers and Coast Guard.

I am sure that Scott Braby, is just one of many veterans of Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving club, who down through the years, have quietly made an outstanding contribution, to the community in which they serve.

In their 40 years I have cherished their friendship and respected their achievements.

Their company has been my pleasure.

Little Peniche of my heart Even though I’ve had a love affair with Portugal for half a century, with the old fishing port of Peniche at its centre, I never usually enjoy watching the World Surf League tour event, the Peniche Pro, held at the wild beast of a wave now called Praia dos Supertubos, but which we knew as Sardine Factory back in the autumn of 1973.

Since its inception a dozen years ago as a Rip Curl Search one-off event, Supertubos has pulled itself together and delivered the goods on a few occasions – notably the year Julian Wilson took down Gabe Medina to win his first tour event in throaty, sandy barrels – but mostly it’s been a dour affair contested in onshore mushburgers and only tolerated for so long because of the uber-enthusiasm of the mayor of Peniche and the cash injection of the Portuguese tourism authorities, who realised some time ago that surf tourism would repay every Euro they put into it.

Earliet this month Peniche went next level, producing some truly exciting moments even when the surf was a washing machine of mixed swells mutating over the shallow sand bank, and then when it cleaned up and got even bigger, well, the old Sardine Factory was every inch a world tour venue. I stayed up late and watched almost every heat live, and despite some disappointments for the Australian camp – only Jack Robinson really delivered to his potential, retaining the yellow jersey – winners Joao Chianca and Caitlyn Simmers thoroughly deserved to finish on top.

The Brazilian Chianca has world champ written all over him, but hopefully not in the year of Our Jack. California Caity is sweet, silly and just 17, and man can she surf! She’s going to be spending so much time on the podium over the next decade they might want to think about a voice coach, but other than that, she’s perfect.

But none of this was what really kept me up all nights of the event. What sucked me in was the overall excitement generated by truly challenging surf, and the wonderful drone shots down the beach and over the harbour, the old town and the ancient fortress, that heralded every ad break. Not only was I watching a great surf comp, I was being taken on the best ride down memory lane that any ancient surf dog could wish for.

One night in a pub called The Sailor’s Arms in Newquay, Cornwall, in August 1973, my travel buddy and I shared a bowl of chips and a couple of pints with an Aussie couple in a Bedford camper who were leaving the next day for the dream surf trip down the Atlantic coast through, France, Spain and Portugal, and then across to Morocco.

They were looking for passengers to help pay the exorbitant fuel costs occasioned by the Arab oil crisis. I said: “Could you wait one day?

We have to quit our jobs (we both had work and board as handymen at different guesthouses) and buy a tent.”

That was the beginning of an incredible adventure that got us to Peniche in mid-September, where we discovered the hippie/surfer free

Australia’s Callum Robson in action at Supertubos. camp at the rock wall past the harbour at the edge of town. It’s called Praia do Mohle Leste now, but back then if it had a name we didn’t know it. If anyone asked us where we lived we said Madame Sirly, which was the name of the little bar at the foot of the rock wall, where we spent a lot of our non-surf hours, eating grilled sardines straight off the boats, drinking cheap Quinta Tinto out of plastic bottles and playing table-top soccer.

In the coming decades Peniche would become an epicentre of surfing in Europe, but back then we were pioneers, pushing away giant rats that invaded our crappy little tent every night, and surfing the user-friendly rollers in the corner of the rock wall on blustery days, driving back across town to Baleal’s several classy breaks when the wind turned south, and when the only surf to be found was in the middle of the Peniche bay, hiking up the beach to what is now Supertubos, and often getting flogged by the unpredictable swells that reared up like wild horses. Conditions were best when the wind blew straight offshore, but that was also when the stench of the sardine factory was most intense, and the outflow into the break was blood red.

I loved our season there, but Peniche was a weird place. Portugal was engaged in two colonial wars in Africa at the time, and the death toll meant villages like Peniche were devoid of young men. Regardless of age, the women wore mourning black, and seeing us young and free in the marketplace, the older ones would sometimes spit at us.

Picture: WSL

September ‘73, our neighbour Marija checks out our sloppy camping act at Peniche.

But we also built a network of friends, from camp-mates like Kiwis Russell and Marija to Madame Sirly and her sardine suppliers who, when we started running out of money, would throw a free bag of them at our campfire grill and join us for a plastic tinto or three.

A few months after we left Peniche with the onset of winter and hitched back to London, the anti-fascist Carnation Revolution erupted and changed Portugal forever, closing its colonial era in a sequence of events that would

draw me back in a couple of decades later in Timor Leste. The old fortress we used to walk by on our way into the old town, which had housed so many revolutionaries over centuries, recently became the National Museum of Revolution and Freedom, and I hope to visit it this year.

We’ve been back to Portugal and Peniche many times over the decades, and of course it’s changed. But it remains a place of the heart and I can’t wait to return.

SURFING FOR A WINNING BID PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THE popularity of Noosa’s eastern beaches is well known similarly the merits of the auction process as verified by Tom Offermann Real Estate’s agent Tracy Russell’s listing of 1/9 Avocet Parade, Peregian Beach.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex designed by Stephen Kidd, with Coral Sea views and a three-minute walk to the beach, attracted strong interest locally and interstate during the marketing campaign.

Six bidders were registered; however, it was a Brisbane potential buyer who took a refreshing albeit novel approach on auction day.

He strapped his board on the roof rack and caught a few waves before walking a few minutes along beach access 52, on-time for the auction, joining five other registered bidders. From an opening bid of $2.4m, the gavel ultimately fell at $2.75m to that Brisbane family, thrilled to have Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A top-floor, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with lift at 1/16 Edgar Bennett Ave, Noosa Heads, is for sale by negotiation. 324762 favourite surf breaks on the doorstep.

Sold prior to last Saturday’s auction was the 17 Wyuna Drive, Noosaville, listed

by Tom Offermann agents Nic Hunter and Jesse Stowers.

The well-loved beauty from the 80s, on a wider-than-most deep water-frontage with a tidal beach on Hideaway Island, close to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, was snapped by Victorian buyers.

AT THE TOP IN SUNSHINE Peter TeWhata at Tom Offermann Real Estate has a Sunshine Beach property going to auction in April that he describes as “an absolute cracker.’’

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool 37 McAnally Dve, Sunshine Beach, has big views from both levels of the national park, the ocean and the hinterland.

Set for auction Saturday, 15 April, at 2pm, the house is set on 600sq m in an eagle’s nest location.

“Interestingly, the morning sun and the evening sun comes right through the house,’’ Peter said.

“You can even see Double Island Point to the north.

“The owners had great foresight in choosing a great designer and builder for the position,’’ Peter said. “The house will never be built out.

“That was 33 years ago. You cannot beat position.

“There are only three houses in the street with that aspect. There is a real contrast of the blue ocean, the green of the national park, and the rocks on the headland with the swell breaking on them.’’

The house is in excellent condition, Peter said, and early interest has been local, Brisbane and from interstate, with people already flying up to inspect.

“Properties in this position do not come onto the market often,’’ Peter said.

“A lot of renovations are going on in the street as a sign of how keenly sought the location is.

“Access to the southern end of the national park is only 40-50m away.’’

It was the position, namely the prized sand dune on the highest point in

Sunshine Beach that inspired a residence reminiscent of the Mediterranean.

The house features multiple practical living spaces for entertaining, a beautiful high-ceilinged gallery-like living space, and an effortless connection from inside to a terrace that is more a sun room.

Bi-fold plantation shutters capture those extraordinary natural landscapes. At the other end of the room is a custom-designed bar, opening on the north-westerly side to an expansive terrace and a shimmering pool.

A statement staircase with bespoke wrought iron balustrading opens to more voluminous living spaces, with polished Fraser Island brushbox flooring.

On the north side, the terrace is almost an extension of the dining room. In contrast wis the sereneness of the south side, where there is a fireplace and the adjoining terrace has views to Mt Cooroy.

The centrepiece of the upper level is a custom-designed kitchen, with Coriantopped cabinetry including a long island/ breakfast bar.

A three-bedroom, one-bathroom, two-car, ground-floor apartment 1/267 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, goes to auction at 12.30pm on Saturday, 1 April.

Ecstatic Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tracy Russell post sale of 1/9 Avocet Parade, Peregian Beach.

The king-size main bedroom retreat on the upper level comes with those views to sigh for. It has an ensuite with vaulted ceiling and skylights, bath tub and a walk-in robe.

On the lower level are two bedrooms with built-in robes. One looks out to the garden, the second accesses a terrace which extends to the pool.

In-between is a family bathroom and a laundry.

Peter has another auction coming up in late April in the Elysium estate at Noosa Heads.

On a large block, the north-facing, architect-designed family home features an internal pool.

PENTHOUSE-STYLE LIVING A top-floor, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with lift at 1/16 Edgar Bennett Ave, Noosa Heads, is for sale by negotiation.

Rick Daniel of Coastal Noosa said Taralla apartments was a boutique complex in a convenient location above Noosa Junction and Hastings Street.

In the Taralla North building, which comprises of only four apartments and an impressive swimming pool, it is lavishly appointed and features a private lift plus a large remote-controlled, single lock-up garage and lockable storage.

The private covered terrace takes in the glowing Noosa sunsets and calming breezes as well as the ever-changing hinterland and water vistas.

Configuration consists of two bedrooms with built-ins, two bathrooms, laundry, and a well-appointed kitchen combined with high-end appliances.

GROUND-LEVEL RIVERFRONT APARTMENT A three-bedroom, one-bathroom, two-car, ground-floor Noosaville apartment is to go to the market for the first time in more than 35 years.

Listed for auction at 12.30pm on Saturday, 1 April, 1/267 Gympie Tce is a ground floor apartment in a boutique block of eight.

Jason Wedge at McGrath Estate Agents said the property in Elkedra offered privacy and exclusivity, with no on-site management and low body corporate fees.

“A lot of people are in town that need places to put things in - water craft and the like.

“This apartment is in original condition but is a wonderful spot … there are a lot of things you could do with it.

“A lot of buyers are looking for ground floor with no stairs.

“The complex has mainly owneroccupiers and there are water views from the lounge of this apartment.’’

Jason is also excited about a new listing on Noosa’s eastern beaches he has coming up.

Elevated with views, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom designer house will be marketed by expressions of interest.

COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY A well-known commercial building in Noosaville is sure to generate strong interest when it goes to auction next month.

Colliers agents Jesse Howitt and Johnny Gooderham have been appointed to sell 37 Mary Street, Noosaville on behalf Joanne Marek from Marek Realty.

No.37 Mary Street, or The Marek Building as it’s known by locals, was refurbished by a well-regarded commercial builder in collaboration with interior designer Carol Trethaway as early as 2020.

The property offers owner-occupiers and investors the opportunity to secure an incredibly well-appointed commercial freehold in the heart of Noosaville’s business and high-end residential river precinct.

Boasting a land area of 516sq m and a building area of 211sq m plus 13sq m of balcony, the ground floor provides a ‘turn-key’ space ready to occupy or lease out, with the first floor enjoying immediate income through multiple tenants.

Jesse Howitt from Colliers said the interest in commercial properties within the area has been extremely strong over the past few years, with cashed-up investors locally and from southern states being extremely active, leaving owner-occupiers struggling to find viable options in what is a very small and tightly held market.

“With the cost of building at an all-time high and a lack of available options in the Noosaville area, 37 Mary Street, provides an immediate solution for owner-occupiers whilst providing investors an opportunity to capitalise on strong current rents and future capital growth,” Mr Howitt said.

The property is being offered for sale by public auction on-site on Friday, 28, April at 12pm.

STUPENDOUS LUSH ITALIAN-STYLE JEWEL WHEN the stars align into five, and it’s seconds to toes-in-the dazzling white sand, be in awe of a three-level contemporary masterpiece, perched sublimely in the front row with salty breezes and unrestricted 180 degree-plus Coral Sea views, on the largest highest site of Marcus Beach … and sigh.

Surrounded by the immense natural assets of Noosa National Park and five kilometres of dazzling white sand between Sunrise and Peregian, is Marcus Beach, regarded as an exclusive hidden utopia by the locals, rarely available and desired my many, especially those looking a stupendous jewel with lush Italian style.

From the forecourt admire the façade, distinctive laser-cut screens, aluminium accents and beautiful hanging gardens, also statement potted greenery and custom pivot timber door with glass panel.

Step inside and be instantly besotted.

There is a sense of indisputable splendour, fashioned with clever design responses, lofty-ceilings and European oak flooring which flows from the entry foyer and way beyond, to a vast open plan living area. Indoors becomes outdoors as the space extends in a transparent fashion, out to an entertaining terrace. It stretches the width of the residence and of course has those mesmerizing sea views, also the sound of waves breaking onto the foreshore.

Complementing the design of the entry level, is a custom kitchen and walkin pantry with quantum quartz-topped charcoal-hued cabinetry including a long island/breakfast bar with a wealth of absolutely high-end appliances, also imported designer black pendants. Further along the hallway on the northern side are laundry, mud and utilities rooms, also a bedroom with built-in robes has an adjoining bathroom.

On the southside, a cinema has all the must-have installations such as an 85-inch latest generation television.

Take the lift or the stairs for next level luxe, privacy and breathtaking incomparable everything else including the north wing which is totally dedicated to serenity and relaxation. The sumptuous master bedroom opens out to the terrace, and has a freestanding oval bathtub to soak away the blues whilst drinking in those ravishing ocean views. And let’s not forget about waking up to an amazing sunrise every morning. The double walk-in robe is every fashionista’s dream, the ensuite bathroom has a double shower, separate toilet and bidet while the piece de resistance is a totally private spa retreat with hot tub, outdoor shower and auto Vergola with a rain sensor.

The second master style bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and terrace, and four bedrooms on the south and west sides, have built in robes and family bathroom.

Central to the upper level is a living space with a very generous fireplace, bar area and once again it opens to the terrace and has those eagle’s eye views over the Coral Sea. Vying for attention downstairs are numerous wonderful attributes. The back garden has direct access to toesin-the-sand of Marcus Beach and there are two dazzling pools – wading for little kids and a much larger one for the those with a serious penchant for swimming.

The surrounding terrace and covered private recreational area with auto close Vergola and Italian tiles, suggests more entertaining options especially as there’s a small kitchen, barbeque, bathroom and the all-important refrigerated wine cellar and wine room for those who appreciate a fine vintage.

“What’s not to love about a stunning and majestic oasis which totally connects to the spectacular location,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter, who has slated the property for auction

on Sunday 16 April 2023, “also boasting unrestricted views of breaking waves in the Coral Sea and a breathtaking panorama extending north from Lions Headland in the Noosa National Park and south to the escarpment above Coolum. It is an exemplary residence designed with Italian flair and functionality where summery vibes linger year-round, and easy-going days are always high on the agenda. In the almost lost-world tradition of a safe, secure unrivalled lifestyle, here it’s possible to lose yourself completely.”

ON THE COVER

UNIMPEDED CORAL SEA AND WHITE-WATER VIEWS IT was nature - specifically a prized sand dune on the highest point in Sunshine Beach, with explosive 180-degree views from Double Island Point and the Noosa National Park in the north, sweeping the Coral Sea and coastline to Mooloolaba and beyond, that inspired a residence reminiscent of the Mediterranean.

Perched at the end of an acclaimed street, renowned designer Stephen Kidd recalled the location took his breath away and 30-years later, the brief to create layered and multiple practical living spaces for entertaining, whatever the reason or season, remains relevant.

Come inside. Admire the rich terracotta tiles and how the foyer expands into a beautiful high-ceilinged gallery-like living space adorned with Pugh family artworks, and an effortless connection from inside to a terrace - more a sunroom.

Bi-fold plantation shutters capture those extraordinary natural landscapes and see the fit and super-stoked returning from their treasured surf breaks in Alexandria, T-tree and Granite Bay Look around. At the other end of the room is a custom-designed curvaceous bar, opening on the north-westerly side to an expansive terrace. Sundowners anyone? Maybe a swim in the shimmering pool is your idea of cooling off, while sun worshippers will love the salty breezes.

The statement staircase with bespoke wrought iron balustrading opens to more voluminous living spaces, washed in natural light which shadow dances across the polished Fraser Island Brushbox flooring. It extends to the terrace where the scene is truly picture-perfect – again.

Imagine gazing at the planetary-like night sky or during the day catching F18 flyovers, hang gliders, dolphins or whales heading north on ‘their’ highway.

From the terrace - almost an extension of the dining room on the northside, open the Vergola louvres, slide away the breezecatching casement windows and hear waves breaking on shore.

Paradoxically perhaps, the scene overall is both calming and energising at once, while spaces of many moods contrast with the sereneness of the south side, where there is a fireplace and the adjoining

terrace has views to Mt Cooroy, and over the private back garden.

The centrepiece of the upper level is a custom designed kitchen, with the consummate entertainer in mind. With Corian-topped cabinetry including a long island/breakfast bar, it features all the bells and whistles in latest high-end appliances and accoutrements.

When it comes to slumber zones and more awe-inspiring moments, plaudits go first to the king-size master retreat on the upper level with those views to sigh for.

Plus, it has an ensuite with vaulted ceiling and skylights, bath tub and a fashionistastyle walk-in robe. On the lower level are two bedrooms with built-in robes.

One looks out to the garden, the second accesses a terrace which extends to the pool. In-between is a family bathroom and a laundry.

“For those seeking a private, safe, secure and unrivalled lifestyle” comments Peter Te Whata, who is taking the property to Auction on Saturday 15 April at 2pm 2023, “this classy residence, reminiscent of the Mediterranean, is perched on a dune-like eyrie with unsurpassed, never to be interrupted 180-degree views, in one of the most revered streets of Sunshine Beach,” “It’s the aspiration of many yet rarely available, so the future value of this whitehot prized location, considered the Holy Grail by many, will always be underpinned.”

SWAYING PALMS, SUNDRENCHED PENTHOUSE TANTALISE the taste buds and imagine the exuberant enjoyment of life, in other words, the joie de vivre, is a sun-splashed penthouse apartment at Riviera mere steps away from the Noosa River foreshore, where enjoying balmy nights drinking in 360° panoramas on the massive rooftop terrace, are de rigueur. Yes, this is love at first sight.

Designed for desire in a holiday playground, the boutique complex of 12 apartments, has the highly valued address of Noosa Parade. It is equidistant Noosa Main Beach and Gympie Terrace which runs parallel with the Noosa River. There are no neighbours per se, just short side streets leading to the waterways and jetty, lush parks with of course multitudes of palms swaying in the breeze.

Come inside. From the entry foyer, take a moment to absorb the generous high-ceilinged, multiple open plan living and dining spaces inside and out, and seemingly endless timber flooring is drenched with natural light emanating from the expansive terrace, which wraps two entire sides of the apartment.

There’s an oh-so-cool ambience throughout. One lounge and dining space has whispers of the Mediterranean with colourful sumptuous sofas, artworks, big comfy cane chairs around a glass-topped table and access to the west terrace. A monochromatic palette features in the living and dining spaces on the north side.

Notice how the glass sliders open, and indoors almost seamlessly combines with outdoors and the very wide undercover stone-paved terrace, where lunching alfresco and relaxing are second nature.

The kitchen with servery opening to terrace has been cleverly designed for the consummate entertainer. There’s smoky-grey stone-topped VJ-profile Hamptons-inspired cabinetry including a semi-island/breakfast bar, white subwaytiled splashback, a floor-to-ceiling wall with integrated appliances and pull-out pantry, plus every accoutrement to suit the occasion.

Mentioning entertaining let’s go upstairs to the rooftop where it can be next level with the 360° panorama, or just super casual lounging on the sun terrace under the umbrella, sundowners at the tall table, or barbeques under the pavilion with it integrated outdoor kitchen. Check out Munna Park with swings and slides, and a little further to the Noosa River foreshore and Munna Beach, were there’s also a boat ramp, riverside barbeque facilities and a few notable locals aka pelicans.

When it comes to after dark, sweet dreams are guaranteed. Along a hallway is the king master with TV, walk-in robe, ensuite with double creamy-white stone-

topped cabinetry and drencher shower, plus access to the terrace. The queen/ twin bedrooms have built-in robes, share a bathroom and separate toilet, and one has a terrace on the south side.

“Be quick for this one-of-a-kind wise investment opportunity with everything Noosa Heads including nature on the doorstep,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nick Hunter. “With the Noosa River only steps away and Hastings Street a short bike ride, this is also a chance to totally immerse yourself in a carefree, unretiring lifestyle and year-round holiday spirit.

“Leave the car in its secure undercover space, stroll to myriad cafes, restaurants and bars in nearby Quamby Place, and along the Noosa River waterfront of Gympie Terrace, also Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park with its world recognised Surfing Reserve.”

COMMERCIAL FREEHOLD

Street’s vibrant nightlife; it truly doesn’t get better than this.

Both apartments are a great size that can be rented individually or together as 2 bedrooms. The property is offered to the market fully furnished with one car space included, along with a heated pool and spa for visitors to enjoy.

With professional onsite management & strong rental returns this is a fantastic opportunity to invest in the lucrative Noosa Heads rental market and a position that is very tightly held, showing strong capital gains. ●

A WELL-KNOWN commercial building within the Noosa shire is sure to generate strong interest when it goes to auction next month. Colliers agents Jesse Howitt and Johnny Gooderham have been appointed to sell 37 Mary Street, Noosaville on behalf Joanne Marek from Marek Realty.

No.37 Mary Street, or The Marek Building as it’s known by locals, was refurbished by a well-regarded commercial builder in collaboration with interior designer Carol Trethaway as early as 2020.

The property offers owner-occupiers and investors the opportunity to secure an incredibly well-appointed commercial freehold in the heart of Noosaville’s business and high-end residential river precinct. Boasting a land area of 516sq m and a building area of 211sq m plus 13sq m of balcony, the ground floor provides a ‘turn-key’ space ready to occupy or lease out, with the first floor enjoying immediate income through multiple tenants. Jesse Howitt from Colliers said the interest in commercial properties within the area has been extremely strong over the past few years, with cashed-up investors locally and from southern states being extremely

active, leaving owner-occupiers struggling to find viable options in what is a very small and tightly held market.

“With the cost of building at an all-time high and a lack of available options in the Noosaville area, 37 Mary Street, provides an immediate solution for owner-occupiers whilst providing investors an opportunity to capitalise on strong current rents and future capital growth,” Mr Howitt said.

The property is being offered for sale by public auction on-site on Friday, 28, April at 12pm. For further information please contact exclusive marketing agents Jesse Howitt on 0468 495 640 or Johnny Gooderham 0499 980 259. ●

CAN you imagine? A gorgeous creek running behind your home where you can throw in your tinnie and glide up to Lake Doonella waterways and the Noosa Marina for a spot of lunch – any style from fish’n chips to gourmet Italian fine dining - or relax with a vino and catch music maestros playing at the bar!

The modern kitchen was renovated around five years ago. Gleaming hardwood floors in the living, dining and TV room echo the outdoors and bring a classic elegance, while carpets provide softness underfoot in the bedrooms and lounge room.
