River group ends By Phil Jarratt

12497020-DL22-21

The Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee was disbanded by Noosa Council and Maritime Safety Queensland on 30 March after a somewhat rocky two-year ride along our troubled waters. The creation of the 14-person committee in April 2021 came with high hopes that it would bring the river factions together, but these were only ever fleetingly realised, despite Mayor Clare Stewart, an observer at NRSAC’s first meeting, saying: “It was great to be able to… see their enthusiasm for the river and for developing solutions to the big issues. I’m looking forward to hearing the committee’s advice when they present their recommendations on their initial priorities to MSQ and council.” Noosa Today was equally optimistic: “Af-

ter more than half a dozen attempts over two decades to get the warring parties to work together, sources within the [committee] say that this one might work.” Whether NRSAC actually achieved any of its objectives over two years is subject to debate, but in recent months there has been increasing agreement that it had become redundant. This week a four-paragraph statement from acting council chief executive officer Larry Sengstock confirmed that: “The Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee was assembled to provide feedback and recommendations to Maritime Safety Queensland on a range of issues relating to management of Noosa River. With that work now complete, the committee has been disbanded. Council appreciates the work of the NRSAC and thanks

each of the members for their involvement. “MSQ also recently conducted a survey to gather community feedback on a range of Noosa River matters. Council understands MSQ is working through all of that feedback currently and any future decisions will be subject to the usual ministerial process.” Noosa Today understands that MSQ, under the leadership of general manager Kell Dillon, who co-chaired the final meeting with Mr Sengstock, is hoping to use its legislative proposals for Noosa River as a model for all Queensland waterways with high tourist traffic, with implementation beginning perhaps as early as the end of the year. Next week Noosa Today will review the highs and lows of NRSAC, and look at the changes to river management that MSQ now hopes to achieve.

At the 2020 Census 31.8 per cent or 17,830 Noosa residents defined themselves as Christians while 48.2 per cent said they had no religion. This weekend we mark the Christian celebration of Easter, the most significant event in the faith. What does Easter mean to Christians? The Christian message at Easter is the final word; ’life’ is how National Council of Churches Reverend John Gilmore explains it. “Jesus, God fully present, dies with no justice, torture, and cruelty. There is no compassion. Jesus is abandoned by the men who flee and attended to by the women who remain. Three days later, the borrowed grave is empty, and the testimony of the women and men is a simple and wonderful statement, ’He is Risen’. Resurrection is the final word in Christian faith; Jesus lives. Two words and behind them a life transforming affirmation. The final word is life and resurrection.“ Easter is celebrated in diverse ways around the world. In Guatemala there are parades with gigantic floats and carpets of colourful sand designs line the streets.Parades are common across South America and also popular in the Phillipines and Italy, some involving reenactments of elements of the crucification, some fireworks. In Noosa there will be services at churches across the shire. The Anglican Church will hold its now traditional dawn service on Easter Sunday at 5.30am at the river end of Main Beach. Happy Easter. And for many Easter is a time to catch up with friends and family, eat chocolate and enjoy a long weekend in the warm autumn weather in Noosa before the winter chill sets in.

Police take samples during the investigation into the house fire.

Police call out vigilantism By Margie Maccoll and Abbey Cannan Police and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services officers are continuing investigations into a fire in a house at Waratah Close, Tewantin, that had been the subject of threats prior to its suspected arson about 1.30am on Wednesday 29 March. QFES acting inspector for Gympie command Brian Riley said firefighters from Noosa Heads and Tewantin responded to multiple 000 calls received from the area. “When officers arrived the house was well involved, with partial roof collapse,“ he said. Firefighters used hoses to extinguish the blaze but the house was completely destroyed, he said. The housing commission house was abandoned at the time and had been boarded up. Neighbours said a woman and three of her five children had been living in the house. Inspector Riley said both police and fire officers had received messages that the house would be set alight. “There were several attempts to set fires prior to this without success,“ he said. Neighbours said the house had been the target of attacks for the previous week since police announced they had charged three girls over an assault of a teenage girl. One neighbour said windows at the house had been boarded up after a party was held on a Saturday night more than a week before during which the windows were smashed. Neighbour Wal Ahti, who had lived in the house next door for 20 years, said early last Saturday morning about 1-1.30am he heard a man hitting the garage rollerdoor on the house with a piece of pipe and threatening to kill someone inside. “I didn’t hear anyone fight back,” he said and was unaware if someone was inside at the time, but he heard the man get in his car and drive off. Another neighbour alerted Mr Ahti to the house fire on Wednesday morning and he moved his car out of the driveway.

Police declare a crime scene at a house at Tewantin following a suspicious fire. He said firefighters were quickly on the scene and his property sustained no damage at all. “It’s amazing how quickly it went up in smoke,” he said. Further down the normally quiet No Through Road another neighbour said in the past week the house had become “like some museum” with cars going up and down the street and slowing for passengers to look at the house. During the week some neighbours in the street received pamphlets containing racial content in their letterboxes, he said. “It’s been scary. When that happens you don’t know where they’re going to go next or who they’re targeting,” he said. “That’s quite scary to see that in letterboxes. “It’s quite crazy. That’s what we’re dealing with. Hopefully that’s the end of it. Hopefully everyone’s safe.” The man said the loss of the housing commission house during this time of housing shortage would mean someone will be missing out on a roof over their head. “It’s been full on for some time,” another neighbour said. “It’s been very stressful. I feel sorry for everything that’s happened.”

Detectives from Sunshine Coast Criminal Investigation Branch are appealing for public assistance following the fire. Sunshine Coast Police Superintendent Craig Hawkins said his message was to let justice take its course. “An investigation has been undertaken, the perpetrators of the torture events and offences have been arrested and are before the courts,” Superintendent Hawkins said. “I would ask them to trust in the justice process and to let that continue. Vigilantism or behaviours of that nature are simply going to put others at risk, including the individuals concerned. What I would ask is that we show a level of responsibility and leave those matters to the police.” Superintendent Hawkins said they became aware of the racially motivated flyer on the morning of Wednesday 29 March. “Gutless is a good term and certainly they are attempting to incite a level of fear and incite a racial dispute,” he said of those responsible for the flyers. Early indications show that the flyer itself had been generated by people that don’t live on the Sunshine Coast and have no connection to the Sunshine Coast.

“This is a direct attempt by individuals that don’t live on the Sunshine Coast, have no relationship to the Sunshine Coast, to incite radical behaviour or racially motivated behaviour,” Superintendent Hawkins said. “They don’t comply or don’t associate with the behaviours nor the expectations of the Sunshine Coast and no way would that behaviour be condoned. Everyone has the right in Queensland to feel safe, to not be a victim, and to live harmoniously within this state. “The cultural heritage of the people who did occupy this home is completely irrelevant.” Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Mansfield said their digital evidence team in Brisbane was investigating social media posts about the house fire, and reiterated that online vigilantism was not condoned. “We don’t condone that in any way shape or form and those people who do commit those acts will be prosecuted,” he said. “We’ve been doing regular patrols in the street since the first incident occurred.” Senior Sergeant Mansfield said police were concerned for the safety of the family who previously lived in the house. “They’ve vacated that premises now. We’re in liaison with that family but they no longer reside in that area,” he said. “Given the house is now destroyed, we do envision that that type of behaviour will reduce in the area, but that’s not to say that we won’t be continuing our patrols of the area over the following days, weeks, and months, to ensure this behaviour doesn’t continue. “Now the housing department is short of a house that would have provided some shelter for other people that need it. That type of behaviour is not condoned by not just the police but the community in general.” Police have declared a crime scene and are conducting investigations. On Wednesday morning detectives located a bicycle abandoned on a path nearby and confiscated it. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or has dashcam or CCTV from the surrounding area, is urged to contact police.

Flying foxes fly the roost A flying fox colony that has driven residents along Waratah Reserve, Tewantin batty for the past six months has flown off into the night as suddenly as it arrived. Hibiscus Retirement Village residents Pam and Bill Birch, whose unit borders the reserve, were overjoyed to see them off. A month ago Pam told Noosa Today the bat colony was causing them to be stressed, sleep deprived, suffering headaches and respiratory, forcing them to keep their doors and windows locked and making their lives unbearable. Mayor Clare Stewart visited the couple and observed the bat colony at their back door. Last month resident Jokubas Kuprevicius, represented the community, putting questions to council on a management plan of the colony and council subsidy to repair damage caused to their properties. Council’s environment and sustainable development director Kim Rawlings told Mr Kuprevicius a management plan would take four months to prepare and any measures would be 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

A flying fox colony departed from Waratah Reserve leaving partly stripped trees behind. 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.

Bill and Pam Birch observe the bat colony with Mayor Clare Stewart.

“Little red flying-foxes seasonally migrate to the South East Queensland region, with the annual blossoming of bloodwoods and other eucalypt species,“ she said at the time. “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.“ And she was right.

Supernatural reason stars are coming to the hinterland Two of the biggest names in the Australian film industry have a chilling reason for heading into the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Lincoln Lewis (Home and Away, Tomorrow When the War Began) and Paul O’Brien (Home and Away, Message Man) will visit for three weeks in April to shoot a feature film, The Gorge. The locally produced supernatural thriller will showcase the raw beauty of the Kenilworth area. The Gorge is about a grieving woman and her friends who must survive a night in the woods when an unseen force begins to hunt them. But not all is as it seems. Lincoln Lewis said that it had been “on his bucket list to shoot a film on the beautiful Sunshine Coast’’. “Being Queensland born and bred, I’m always stoked when I get the opportunity to film a project in my home state,” Mr Lewis said. “It’s something that’s been on my bucket list, to be able to shoot a Sunny Coast project. “The pre-production is a lot of fun for the whole team so now I just can’t wait to get back up to paradise and begin shooting, and also get back to the Eumundi Markets – I love that place.” The film is being produced by Sunshine Coast-based company Blink Productions in association with Imagination Pictures.

actors Nathan Morgan and Holly Axsentieff who will play the lead character Otti, and Brisbane actor Jasmine Barui. The film is directed by Ryan Butler, a director and editor from Beerwah, and recent winner of The Sunny Coast Showdown’s scripted category. “Our next film is a feature length movie currently being described as Harry Potter cross Willy Wonka and Star Wars, with plans to shoot most of it right here on the Sunshine Coast,“ Mr Young said. Sunshine Coast Council Economic Development Portfolio Councillor Terry Landsberg said it was an exciting occasion for the region and indicative of the growing interest our screen industry was attracting. “As proud sponsors of The Sunny Coast Showdown, council recognises the screen industry is a largely untapped area that would boost our regional economy in the future,” Cr Landsberg said.

Lincoln Lewis said that it had been “on his bucket list to shoot a film on the beautiful Sunshine Coast’’. “The production of homegrown films like The Gorge has a positive flow on economic benefits for tourism, hospitality and our creative industries.” The Gorge is expected to hit the film festival circuit later this year.

Help Taj reach Olympics By Abbey Cannan With a barbell in hand and dreams in his heart, Noosa local Taj Marsh seeks to make his mark on the world of weightlifting. As a dedicated weightlifter, he has achieved significant success in recent years, including winning several championships and setting Australian national records. “These achievements did not come easy,“ Taj said. “I had to work hard and make sacrifices to reach my goals. I trained for hours every day, pushing my body to the limit. “I had to maintain a strict diet and lifestyle to stay in top shape. I also had to overcome injuries and setbacks along the way.“ Over the past few years, the young athlete has won the 2023 QWA State Junior Championship and the 2023 QWA State U23 Championships. He also won the 2022 Oceania Junior Championship in the 96kg category, and the 2021 Australian National Youth Championships and Queensland’s Youth Championships in the 89kg category. Despite all of his hard work, Taj said the most significant challenge he faces is the cost of traveling to international competitions. In 2023, he qualified for three international competitions, including the IWF Junior World Championships, the Commonwealth Championships, and the Oceania Championships. “None of these achievements would have been possible without the support of my coach, Woogie Marsh, who is the head coach and head of programming for The Noosa Barbell Club. Together, we have worked tirelessly to achieve these goals, and we are committed to achieving even more in the future,“ Taj said. “These competitions are crucial for my long-term goal of competing in the Olympic Games. However, the costs of traveling to these competitions are significant, and I cannot afford it without external support. “We need your support to cover the costs of

Jury told Qld woman set up woodchipper murder By Rex Martinich, Aap A Queensland woman has been accused of planning the “extraordinarily wicked“ murder of her ex-partner using a woodchipper so she could claim his estate and life insurance. Sharon Graham, 61, in Brisbane Supreme Court on Monday pleaded not guilty to the murder of Bruce James Saunders, 53, at a property near Gympie on 12 November, 2017. Justice Peter Callaghan told jurors before the 17-day trial they would not have to examine photographs and the “gruesome details“ of Mr Saunders’ body being partially drawn into a large woodchipper. Crown prosecutor Greg Cummings told the jury in his opening comments that it was not in dispute that Mr Saunders had been

“deliberately and unlawfully killed“ on that day by Gregory Lee Roser under the guise of helping a recent widow clear tree stumps from her land. Mr Cummings told the jurors they would have to carefully assess the credibility of witness Peter John Koenig, who would tell them he was the only person to see Roser hit Mr Saunders from behind with a metal pipe and then repeatedly strike the victim’s head while he was on the ground. “(Koenig) and Mr Roser then carried Mr Saunders’ lifeless body to a hired woodchipping machine they had been using ... it was then partially fed into the machine and then Mr Roser started yelling as if to create the illusion that Mr Saunders had fallen into the machine,“ Mr Cummings said. “Mr Koenig will tell you there was no lead-

up to this extraordinarily wicked behaviour, no fight or argument or dispute over money or relationships. Mr Saunders and Mr Roser barely knew each other.“ Mr Cummings said Graham was about an hour’s drive away from the scene when the murder too place but claimed she engaged in the “counselling and procurement“ of Roser to murder Mr Saunders. “Her criminal liability stems from her conduct in lead-up and is unaffected by her not being there at the time,“ Mr Cummings said. “The motive was simple: it was money.“ Mr Cummings said Graham had regularly been spending thousands of dollars despite being on the disability pension at just over $800 a fortnight and the source of that additional money had been Mr Saunders.

Mr Cummings told the jurors they would hear evidence that Graham and Mr Saunders’ relationship was ending and she wanted a new life with Roser but with access to her former partner’s money. “(Graham) was sole beneficiary of (Mr Saunders’) will ... she stood to inherit his house, car, superannuation of $125,000 and a life insurance policy in excess of $700,000,“ Mr Cummings said. The jury was also shown handwritten notes found in Roser’s caravan that Mr Cummings said described Mr Saunders’ car, work schedule and how to break into his home, along with suggested days to carry out an attack. “Roser had little-to-no contact with Saunders; how did he get this information? Mr Cummings said.

STAs not to blame: study Concerned that an influx of short-term accommodation (SaTA) was not only destroying her local Noosa amenity but impacting the rental market and housing crisis, University of the Sunshine Coast Building Design, Surveying and Certification student Lou Warwick decided to conduct a Noosa-based investigation of the issue for a research paper. What she discovered was a situation resulting from the 2015 APRA credit squeeze along with an increase in population, increase in owners occupying their homes and a low number of new builds. It had nothing to do with STAs. Lou Warwick presents us with her research findings. The housing crisis is heard loud and clear across many platforms and is being felt across most of Australia’s highly populated areas. Currently, the short term accommodation market (STAs) is receiving much of the blame for the lack of long term rental accommodation, high rents and homelessness. In a recent 32-page research report focusing on the Noosa area from Peregian Beach to Tewantin over a 10-year period, it was found that STAs could not be blamed for the lack of available rentals. Many topics were covered such as the local population, affordability, availability, new dwelling approvals, STA numbers and vacancy rates, with data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Noosa Council, Coast2Bay Housing Group, SQM Research and AllTheRooms Analytics. Census data revealed a steady increase in overall population for the Noosa area, an average of 1077 persons per year. However, 2021 was the first year to see a decline in the working population. Otherwise, there was little change to the school age population and a slight increase to the retired population. While the population had increased, build-

USC student Lou Warwick delivers her research on STAs in Noosa. ing approvals for houses and units were in decline. According to the Bureau of Statistics, 2017 saw Noosa approve nearly 700 dwellings while only 305 were approved in 2021.

Dwellings that were owned outright increased from 4882 in 2011 to over 7000 in 2021, suggesting that owners are happier to keep their homes. Mortgaged proper-

ties increased modestly from 3940 to 5195 while rentals struggled with an increase of 261 rented properties in the same 10-year period.

STAs are not to blame for Noosa’s housing crisis, research shows. Noosa Council has expressed concerns around the number of empty dwellings. The number stayed consistent at around 25 per cent of all dwellings, which is in line with Noosa councils document stating that there were 5200 dwellings during 2021 that could otherwise be rented. However, unoccupied houses have been a long term issue and the 2021 census showed a decline in the number of unoccupied dwellings to 23 per cent. Despite the pandemic, a sharp decline in rental availability was seen in 2021 and 2022. SQM Research took an in depth look at the rental market on a year to year basis from 2016 to 2022, revealing a drastic drop from 176 available rentals in 2020, down to 36 rentals in the following year. The available rentals at census 2011 was 203. This suggests that building approvals and rentals declined, while the general population and resident numbers increased. There was a positive shift towards outright owned and occupied family dwellings from the year 2020. To further investigate the reasons behind the rental decline, the Bureau of Statistics was

again the source for affordability. Rent rates per week increased by an overall 42.8 per cent versus the average mortgage increase of 5 per cent over the 10-year period. There was an increase of 28.8 per cent of renters paying more than 30 per cent of their income to stay in their rentals within the last five years, while people paying more than 30 per cent of their income into a mortgage increased by nine per cent. The real estate market has also been affected. Sales of existing dwellings were generally in decline from a modest 2003 dwelling sales in 2016, down to 1572 dwelling sales in 2020; until the 2021 boom where it increased to 2276 sales and house values increased the most. Dwelling values had otherwise remained steadily increasing. It was here that investor loans were noted to be in sharp decline after APRA’s Credit Squeeze in 2015, turning Queensland’s $1500 million dollar industry into a $500 million dollar industry by early 2020. There has been a resurgence of loan ap-

provals after the building incentives boom in mid 2020. Although, there is now a high possibility of many years to regain the rental properties that may have been. Unemployment was not a concern for dwelling affordability, as the area has a fluctuating rate generally below seven per cent, with a recent low of 3.3 per cent, according to Noosa Council and the Bureau of Statistics. Periods of low unemployment rates coincide with increases to weekly rental rates. Furthering the data collected around affordability, it was found that the industry that employs the most persons is accommodation and food services. It is also the lowest paid of the top four industries. This could indicate more workers on lower incomes. It is also possible that the unemployment rate appears lower because low income earners have been forced to move to more affordable areas. So, where do all the people in the area come from? An average of 11,325 visitors stay in the Noosa area every night of the year, not including day trippers, with international visitors staying an average of 6.27 nights at a time and domestic visitors staying an average of four nights. An STA analysis site, AllTheRooms Analysis, stated that there were only 1000 – 1500 listed STAs available at any given time in the four year period of and including 2019 – 2022 (listings were collected from multiple platforms such as AirBnB and Booking.com). This is far less than the estimated 5200 unoccupied dwellings quoted by Noosa Council. Of the average 1113.5 available STA’s in the focus area, the average occupancy rate was only 41 per cent. There is definitely an incentive to rent via an STA rather than long term. STA owners can earn an average $16,000 more per annum. However, STAs have also been in decline over the four-year period with a loss of around 200 listings in four years. Lastly, it was considered how people can gain assistance with housing when they are priced out of the rental market. Coast2Bay’s financial reports revealed that while requests for assistance for housing had

NEWS

doubled in the last four years, affordable emergency dwellings had halved in the Noosa region to less than 50 dwellings. Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay were the only areas showing an increase of affordable dwellings within the Coast2Bay program. According to these research results, STAs are not the cause of long term rental high rents, low availability and homelessness for the research area. However, there is a connection between STAs and long term rentals which is based on the theory of supply and demand. To recap, the number of dwelling approvals had a declining trend for 2017-2022, long term rental availability was in declining numbers from 2011-2021, STA rentals have declined in number from 2019-2022 and Coast2Bay’s affordable dwelling program had declining numbers of dwellings to the Noosa area. - all while the population increased steadily. It is true that dwelling values have increased, long term rents have increased and STA rates have increased, perhaps out of range for many low income earners. However, this appears to be more of a long term supply and demand issue that has stemmed from the APRA Credit Squeeze of 2015 and lack of investor support or ability for increasing rental numbers in the research area. Unfortunately, this is not an easy fix, as dwellings can take up to two years to complete from concept and a number of people who live and work in the Noosa region are somewhat transient in nature, many coming for a working holiday. Without affordable worker accommodation, the area will suffer further and it is not at the fault of the STA market. There needs to be further study on this topic to confirm if the results found for the Noosa area are not isolated to the region and reflect the current housing crisis situation across Australia.

Doors to the Peregian Springs Recreational Facility will reopen to the community soon.

The popular Pool Cafe will continue its lease and continue to run as is.

College buys rec centre Doors to the Peregian Springs Recreational Facility will reopen to the community soon, thanks to a signed agreement between Aveo Group and St Andrew’s Anglican College. The Rec Centre sale was achieved following a competitive expressions of interest campaign after the Ridges Body Corporate voted against the transfer of the Rec Centre at the latter part of last year. As part of the sale, St Andrew’s have committed to opening the facility to the broader community to ensure it will once again become a hive of activity, welcoming locals back to their much-loved community hub. St Andrew’s Anglican College principal Chris Ivey said the College recognised the important part the facility had played in bringing the community together and was a great asset to the local area. “Community is major part of who we are, and we are committed to providing opportunities and facilities that benefit both our internal and broader community,” Mr Ivey said. “The facility will continue to operate as a public facing cafe, pool, and gym, albeit with

St Andrew’s have committed to opening the facility to the broader community. some restrictions on access to the pool based on the operational requirements of the College.” Gary Kordic, Aveo Group said, “We are delighted on the outcome, St Andrew’s is best placed to enable the facility to re-open as soon as possible for the enjoyment of the broader community.”

Under the new ownership, the Rec Centre will continue to run on a fee-paying basis for the pool and gymnasium. The popular Pool Cafe will continue its lease and continue to run as is. Applications for memberships will open early April, with the centre to reopen at full capacity in early May. “The College has no plans in the near future to re-develop any aspects of the Rec Centre and it will continue to be open to the public,” Mr Ivey said. “Although there will be times when some operations, such as the gym or sections of the pool are available solely to our St Andrew’s sporting teams or the current communitybased programs we run. “This may include programs like swimming lessons for students at additional schools or other user groups.” The Peregian Springs based College, which is celebrating its 20th birthday this year, has been looking to purchase additional land for some time, as it looks to expand its capacity to deliver services to the community.

The opportunity to purchase 8000sqm within walking distance to the current campus was something Mr Ivey said the College Council thought was important to bid for. “Our College has grown significantly and quickly over the last 20 years, becoming one of the most sought after schools on the Sunshine Coast” he said. “A facility like this gives us additional ability to deliver the high-quality programs we offer to more students and the extended community.” St Andrew’s built and opened its own $14 million Aquatic Centre in 2019, which has grown to be a prominent venue within the community, attracting more than 7000 patrons per month, from babies as young as three months old, to high level performance athletes. The centre has held state, regional and district events, hosted Olympians, as well as weekly swimming lessons for public schools, school carnivals, and community events. It currently employs an average of 40 staff at any one time.

Dingo incident sparks safety warning these holidays A recent dingo incident on Fraser Island (K’gari) has sparked a safety warning these Easter school holidays. Shortly after 4pm on Monday 3 April, QAS were alerted to a dingo incident near Orchid Beach involving a primary-school-aged girl who had sustained multiple minor bites to her head and hands. The young girl was reported to be playing on the beach when the dingo grabbed her. QAS and the Lifeflight rescue helicopter were quickly called to action to assist, while a local QAS paramedic attended to the patient. She was then airlifted to Hervey Bay Hos-

Music at Noosa owner and operator Rob Walter performed with his team of talented staff.

Music at Noosa hits 21 By Abbey Cannan Music at Noosa celebrated 21 years of helping aspiring artists pursue their musical dreams with a special evening in store on Friday 31 March. Starting the night off with a bang, owner and operator Rob Walter performed with his team of talented staff, followed by two of Noosa’s up and coming artists – Riley Woodman and Phoebe McLennan. Rob, who has lived in Noosa for 11 years, said it was “pretty epic“ to have reached the milestone. “Some of the staff have been here since the beginning which is pretty cool. I took over a year ago,“ he said. “I’ve always been a musician, along with doing other things, and the store came up for sale after Covid. I was looking for something new and I thought this was too good to be true.“ Original owners of the shop, Pip and Marie Lee, said they were proud to be a part of the business’s history. “It started off as a dream but now it’s a reality. It’s just such a great thing to be involved in the music industry in Noosa for the last 21 years and seeing it grow,“ Pip said. “When we first opened everyone thought I was mad, but that’s okay. I started Byron Music in 1985 so I had that for 17 years. Byron Music is still going 35 years later and it’s a big icon now.“ Pip said Rob and his team were doing a fantastic job running Music at Noosa. “My son took it over about seven years ago and he kicked it on and now we’ve gone to another level with Rob. I’m very proud to be part of that,“ Pip said. “There’s not many businesses in Noosa that have been around for 21 years, and music is just a thriving industry. Well done for everyone who’s worked here and all the staff.

A special evening was held in-store at Music at Noosa on Friday 31 March.

“In the academy here we’ve been able to involve over 2000 students in that 21 years. A lot of them have become professional musicians, so well done to all the teachers. The whole thing is just beautiful.“ Two of those students, Riley and Phoebe, pushed through the nerves to show off their talent, performing original songs and covers on the night. The originals by Phoebe, 22, who is a selfproclaimed lover of sad songs, reminded me of fellow Australian singer-songwriter Angie McMahon, with hits like Slow Mover and Pasta. “We’re pretty stoked to play and grateful

for the opportunities that we’re able to make by hanging around the music shop a little too much,“ Phoebe said. “I focus on writing a lot of my own original music pulling from life experiences. My influences are quite broad. I listen to a lot of jazz and a lot of ’70s folk stuff as well.“ Riley, 23, has been playing guitar for 12 years and impressed the crowd with his instrumental solo. “A lot of guitarists from the ’70s and late ’60s inspired me to start playing,“ he said. “I’m in the build up of getting songs together to be able to release some tracks. I’d

definitely like to pursue a band and get a fourpiece band together.“ Noosa has a vibrant community of musicians including a pool of talented songwriters. Music at Noosa is currently developing a monthly Songwriters Circle, held by Cara Robinson, to help further promote the connectivity and the sharing of knowledge amongst local artists. Each session will feature a special guest who will host the event and nurture the creative space. Visit the team at Shop 2/ 1 Gibson Road, Noosaville.

Drive safely, plan for high tides and steer clear of vegetated dunes.That’s the message from Noosa Council, with authorities gearing up to enforce the rules as residents and visitors descend on Noosa North Shore and Teewah Beach in vehicles this Easter. Mayor Clare Stewart said Council will deploy additional Local Laws officers to Noosa North Shore to support enforcement efforts by Queensland Police and Queensland Parks and Wildlife. “If you’re heading up the beach camping, we want you to have a great time, but sadly the Easter holidays are notorious for crashes, environmental damage and poor driver behaviour,” Mayor Clare Stewart said. Police officers will be on the beach enforcing speed limits and targeting dangerous driving.

“Similarly, Queensland Parks and Wildlife officers will be checking drivers have beach permits. Our Local Laws officers will be on the beach across Easter to support the QPS and QPWS effort.” The Mayor said Council had also deployed roadside Variable Message Boards to warn drivers against driving on the beach close to high tides. “By taking extra care we can all help avoid accidents, keep everyone safe - in vehicles and on the beach - and protect our vulnerable fauna and flora from vehicle damage during this busy time.” Council reminds motorists to obey signposted speed limits on the beach and stay off vegetated dunes, which protect against erosion and provide habitat for wildlife such as nesting sea turtles.

Bloomin’ great expo ahead Preparations are underway for the 2023 Queensland Garden Expo, one of Australia’s most-loved gardening events, which attracts close to 40,000 visitors each year and injects more than $10 million into the regional economy. With more than 360 exhibitors offering an extensive range of gardening-related knowledge, products and plants, this year’s awardwinning, three-day event on the Sunshine Coast will once again have something for every gardener, no matter how experienced they are at nurturing a garden. Event chairman, Simon Smith said the team was looking forward to seeing Nambour Showgrounds once again transform into a flourishing seven hectares of gardening inspiration, knowledge sharing and community on 7 July. “The expo is not just a marketplace with more than 50,000 plants on sale each day, but also a chance to chat with growers and access the best gardening minds in the country,” said Mr Smith. “We have Australia’s largest gardening speaker program with more than 100 free lectures and demonstrations across eight live speaker stages featuring Gardening Australia’s Sophie Thomson and Jerry Coleby-Williams as well as crowd favourites Phil Dudman, Claire Bickle, Kate Wall, and many more.” Event manager Marion Beazley said this year’s event would offer something for everyone. “The expo covers all corners of the backyard from a feature on keeping domestic chickens to organic veggie growing in the Giant Kitchen Garden,” Ms Beazley said. The Giant Kitchen Garden is a collaboration of many gardening and permaculture groups from across the Sunshine Coast region, coming together to help create a piece of gardening paradise. “But it’s not just about the great outdoors – indoor plants and floral arranging is more popular than ever and we’ve got extensive information, products and displays. “This year, the expo will play host to the Australian Floral Art Association’s National Convention that will showcase the floral art competition, Nature’s Expression, expected to leave visitors in awe of the beauty and creativity that can blossom from floral arrangements. “The national convention and competition will attract floral artists from all over Australia and we anticipate anywhere up to 100 competition entries along with state designs and state demonstrations to be held on stage at the expo.” “Of course, our budding gardeners haven’t been overlooked with plenty of activities and workshops designed just for kids that will help kickstart their gardening journey.” The Queensland Garden Expo, which first opened its gates in 1985, has become a muchloved Sunshine Coast tradition for the most experienced green thumbs and absolute gardening beginners alike. “This event not only brings the community together in celebration of gardening, but also has a massive impact on the local economy, with around 65 per cent of visitors travelling

The Pub Test A year out from the local government elections, PHIL JARRATT asks the Friday swillers what issues are important to them.

Clever strategy is needed Bloke 1: The only issue is leadership, because we are largely leaderless. The council doesn’t seem to know where it’s going and there is no underlying or consistent philosophy. When the current mayor stood for election in 2020, her campaign wasn’t necessarily all about leadership, but she was basically saying she was going to weed out corruption and misogyny and change everything, which implied leadership. But it hasn’t worked out that way. The only area where she’s at least tried to show some leadership is affordable housing. Female Voice 1: Is losing a CEO evidence of lack of leadership? B1: It could be, or it could have been just a simple case of doubling your salary. And the main contribution of the outgoing CEO seems to have been the Noosa 2.0 Plan, which is more staff-centric than of community interest. Ringleader: We’re heading down the rabbit hole of whether the current mayor has shown leadership or not, but right now we haven’t been presented with an alternative, so perhaps we should focus on the issues. Bloke 2: Every election for years has been about leadership. There’s a smorgasbord of issues surrounding that, but they’re really only decorations. The fundamental question is who do we choose to lead. Female Voice 2: I got the feeling that the last [council] election wasn’t so much about leadership but about change. I associate with a lot of mums of young kids, and they tended to get behind Clare because she was more like them – younger and female, and we all love a bit of gender equality! But I don’t think she ran on leadership. She didn’t promise that and she hasn’t really shown it. B2: The core question is whether a steppingstone leader is going to be re-elected as a keeper leader. The stepping-stone leader got herself a stepping-stone CEO but he didn’t stay for long. Ringleader: In a year’s time people will have forgotten his name because he didn’t stay long enough to make a real imprint. And I tend to think that a good CEO will always be a nonissue in elections because they just get on with the job. FV1: Does anyone think that if given another chance, Clare might grow into leadership? FV2: I think the electoral system where you have to nominate as a mayor or a councillor, but not both, makes it difficult to get a mayor with experience. How do you get one? Only by asking a councillor who might aspire to be mayor to risk a position in council by running. I think that’s a real problem.

Pub Test HQ good to go. Ringleader: Currently we have four male councilors who hold the balance of power and don’t want to lose it by running for mayor. B2: At least two of them are considering it. Of course, very few people know they’re running until they’re told! [Laughter] FV2: I’ve talked to a few people who ran for council last time and got close, and I have to say there’s not a lot of enthusiasm at the moment. Ringleader: Some very good people got pretty close, but do we think there’s an alternative

mayor among them? FV2: I’m not even sure they’re interested in having a go for councillor. Bald Bloke: I know we’re meant to be moving on, but I think Clare puts a lot of energy into the job. Yes, like [outgoing CEO] Scott Waters, the question about how long she’ll stay around hangs over her, but right now she’ll go to the opening of an envelope and say all the right things. On the affordable housing issue, I sometimes wonder if it’s not a proxy for a developer to go in, but she’s doing a lot of work in

the community and not stepping on too many toes. There’s a particular side of politics represented in this group but outside of that there is a lot of support. That’s what I’m hearing. She’s politically savvy. FV2: Rather than is she doing a good job, it’s the feeling she’s not doing a terrible job. Ringleader: We keep coming back to Clare. Has she actually stated that she’s running again? B1: Yes, I’ve seen it in print. B2: She’s had a look elsewhere and nothing has opened up, so she’ll be here.

Female Voice 3: We have to remember that Tony Wellington only lost to her by fewer than 100 votes. My impression is that she’s not that interested. Interested in her own career, but not in what’s happening to Noosa. Ringleader: Okay, can we work on the assumption that Tony isn’t interested in going around again and that Clare is? FV1: What about Frank Wilkie? Do we think he might run? I would put money on it. B2: I think both Wilkie and [Brian] Stockwell are at the stage where they’ve been councillors for quite a while and the magic might have worn off, particularly if the mayor’s not your cup of tea. At a certain stage either of them might decide to throw their hats into the ring on the basis of, if I win, I win and if I don’t I just get on with my life. In many ways those are the most dangerous candidates because there’s a certain recklessness involved. I’d argue that they’re both very good councillors, but they’re not mayors. Neither of them can make quick, ruthless decisions and I think that’s what mayors have to do. That’s what leaders do, and they don’t need the last decimal point of evidence before they act. I don’t think Frank sees that the ship is on fire early enough. He has to be told, and then he gets it. Brian sees that the ship is burning earlier, but then spends too much time making himself look clever by putting out the fire. [Laughter] Ringleader: Please can we move back to the issues? B2: You can’t talk about the issues in the abstract. Ringleader: But we can consider them in the light of which people might know how to deal with them? For example, the mayor has put herself out front on the accommodation issue, but what part of it can she fix? In a recent online survey 12 per cent of respondents nominated short term accommodation [STA] as their important issue. Does anyone here think that this, plus affordability and all the other side issues, is going to factor in the runup to the election? BB: It’s done and dusted. B2: Housing shortage is built into our DNA. The decisions made 30 years ago accurately foresaw the now. Ringleader: I presume you mean the population cap? B2: Yes, because it was understood that a population cap would make Noosa a more desirable place to live, people would come and because there’s limited supply, prices would go up. The only part of the whole picture that wasn’t seen is STA. It should have been stomped on as soon as it emerged, but the real estate industry targeted Wellington when he tried to do something about it, and now they’re reaping the reward. Ringleader: So why isn’t it still an issue? BB: It was at the last election but everyone has played their hands now. FV1: So do you think if I was a pro-STA candidate with a strong following at the next election I’d get in?

Mayor Clare and CEO Scott.

NEWS

Picture: SUPPLIED

B2: I reckon it would go the other way. If you demonised STA and the councillors who sat on their butts then you’d get in. Ringleader: So it’s an issue but it’s a negative one? B2: Most issues are. B1: Which brings us back to leadership. This is one issue that people have tried to grapple with and have failed. STA threw a curve ball at the community, but where do we go from here? B2: The politics of it is you promise to wind it back. It might take five years or so, but it’s a start. Ringleader: What about affordable rental accommodation? It seems to me that apartment buildings are going up around the place but none of the people in need are going to be able to afford to live in them. B1: There’s stuff going on we don’t know about yet, but it’s all a drop in the bucket. It’s like there are 15,000 people who want to live and work here and the council is working on finding accommodation for 150 of them. It’s never going to balance out, but it’s also not really a council responsibility. FV1: The real issue is that businesses can’t find people to work for them because there’s nowhere to live. Ringleader: So never mind the homeless, let’s

focus on the barista who’s forced to live in Gympie! [Laughter] B2: I believe that about two-thirds of the council staff don’t live in the shire. BB: That’s right, and if you look at the rich suburbs all over the country, workers are travelling there every day from somewhere else they can afford. It’s not just a Noosa problem. B2: I think the implications of all of this are that there will continue to be a cohort of the very wealthy in Noosa and a cohort of people who are struggling. The rich will just recalibrate and enjoy Noosa more and more ostentatiously, but Struggle Street will get bigger and bigger, people will just stay home. That’s what the future electorate of Noosa will look like: more people who can’t afford to enjoy Noosa and resent that. B1: A lot of people moved here for the dream and now they feel it’s been taken away from them. FV2: Because they can’t afford the dream. Ringleader: Oh, come on. There’s a lot more to the Noosa dream than consumerism. You can walk in the National Park, you can swim in the bays or surf on the points, there’s a lot of wonderful stuff that everyone can afford. B2: But in five years it won’t be worth doing. Congestion will have taken over.

FV1: Our experience is that we can find places where you can still do all those wonderful things. We’ll watch the sunset over the river with hardly anyone around and think, is this Noosa being loved to death! Ringleader: I think we’ve fast-tracked the congestion story because we’ve just lived through three Covid years with no breaks in the tourism cycle. It’s been relentless but now it seems to have slowed again at certain times, which makes me feel that there is still hope. B2: A million people living within an hour’s drive within the next 20 years, that’s what’s going to happen. B1: So we knew 30 years ago that this would happen, and now we have the state telling us that we have to have 68,000 population or we’re not doing what was agreed in the SEQ plan. These are the realities that we have to learn to live with, and that’s why we need leadership. B2: That’s fine, but it’s not holding because we didn’t foresee the day-tripper invasion which puts pressures on top of a relatively stable resident population, and unless we get proactive now, there’s no hope of controlling it. And there’s no sign of that happening. In the past the existential threat was over-development and we got proactive about it. Now we’ve got the next wave which is every bit as big a threat. We need a very clever strategy on it, and we need it now.

Food and craft festival to showcase what’s great about the Mary Valley. ERLE LEVEY is there to get a taste of things.“

Piecing the tasty jigsaw The river runs through it, providing the lifeblood of the Mary Valley. Many different communities depend on the Mary River as it winds down from the foothills of Maleny to the open plains of Gympie. It is this variety of lifestyles, farming pursuits and the environment that gives the region its strength. The GourMay Mary Valley food festival planned for this autumn is an important step in bringing all of the pieces of the puzzle together. Food enthusiasts will get a taste of what the region has to offer in a month-long celebration that also includes art and music. It is this combining of food cultures and creative economies that are providing the lifeblood of so many communities. At the launch of the festival of food, Mary Valley Chamber of Commerce president Janelle Parker said the event was breathing life into the former Gympie region event GourMay, which had struggled to grow after the Covid pandemic. “The two main drivers of the Mary Valley economy are agriculture and tourism, and it makes sense to combine them and create a celebration of the region’s farmers, producers and creators. “The Mary Valley is not a single product area. Our soil and climate allow us to farm an enormous variety of things, so visitors can expect their tastebuds to be well and truly satisfied.” GourMay will include satellite events across the Mary Valley as well as agricultural workshops and presentations, dinners, lunches and picnics, all focussing on the food grown and

It will allow visitors to experience life in a farming community, with a variety of events to celebrate the food we all enjoy. Chamber secretary Malcolm Oakley said

the festival would kick off in fine style with Opera in the Shed on April 30. Sydney soprano Donna Cain will present favourite opera pieces and show tunes at a lunch to be held in a bespoke building at a secret location near Imbil.

Festival Day on Saturday, 6 May, will be held in Imbil with cooking demonstrations, competitions and presentations. Included will be bush food with Peter Wolfe from Cedar Creek Farm, and cheesemaking/dairy farming by Kenilworth Dairies.

Satellite events include picnics, lunches, dinners and workshops.

There will be cooking demonstrations and presentations on Festival Day on 6 May.

Steve from Lotsa Limes is opening his farm on three Sundays.

The satellite events include picnics, lunches, dinners and workshops - from making sourdough to market gardening. Imbil is the hub because it’s a bigger town and very central. There are cafes in the town and the Rail Park allows for a variety of events. “It’s coming together - it’s a celebration of all that’s good in the Mary Valley,’’ Malcolm said. “We are basically starting on April 30, which is the May Day weekend, and finishing on the

evening of the 27th at dinner with Amanda Emblem, a jazz singer. “One of the key events is the opening of the Arts on Yabba gallery at Imbil. “It will be a display of still-life painting. Everything is food-related.’’ Internationally celebrated artist Ian Mastin will bring his still-life collection to Imbil in what is regarded as a major coup for the new gallery opened by Mary Valley Artslink and managed by its president Heinke Butt.

There is even a short film evening that’s connected to the Gympie festival Heart Of Gold. “We will present a program of nine short films which have a food theme,’’ Malcolm said, “... not necessarily of food but about food and the farming industry. “Some of the films will be a documentary, some animated, and some comedy. It will be a real mix. “In the middle of last year we had a brainstorming session about the festival - what are we going to call it, what’s it going to look like? “The Mary Valley has an amazing landscape but it’s been disconnected. “However, the small communities are the attraction. It’s this diversity that is of interest and the festival is bringing everything together to showcase what the Mary Valley is all about. “Council has previously done GourMay and after that they did Forage but it was obvious it wasn’t going to continue. “It’s been a matter of combining tourism and farming, bringing the people together. Not just in one place but in lots of different places.’’ The Mary Valley extends from Gympie to Conondale and Maleny so the question was how do we bring people together? “Covid has changed the perception of where the Mary Valley is,’’ Malcolm said. “A lot of people didn’t know until a couple of years ago.’’ The criteria to participate in GourMay is that the event has to be in the Mary Valley. For anyone to come in from outside they need to have a point of difference, not double up with local people. For anyone to have a stall they need to have Mary Valley content, such as produce or a signature dish. Peter Wolfe is doing a long lunch for Kandanga Farm Store and a cooking demonstration on festival day. Imbil Community and Sports Club are running a photo competition in which the image must be taken in Mary Valley in the past 12 months. It needs to be food related and will be dis-

played for a month. The photo doesn’t have to be food on the plate - it can be a farmer in the paddock harvesting. “The thing about the Mary Valley is there are so many things which open up and people can get involved in,’’ Malcolm said. “Dingo Creek Winery will open up each week and they will have winemakers talking about the produce. “It’s about people, it’s about food.’’ A highlight will be a Walking with Macadamias tour at Amamoor, amongst the ancient macadamia habitat. Being run by the Macadamia Conservation Trust, Russell Bennett will be doing the talks and his knowledge is fascinating, Malcolm said. “In this Gympie area it’s believed there is that still the mother tree from which all macadamias come from.’’ The walks will be in the morning and coming back to Amamoor for morning tea. The Mary Valley Rattler historic train will be there, so it’s going to be quite busy that morning. Something that came out of the brainstorming sessions was that the festival would not include celebrities, but people from within the region. “A lot of what we do this year will be about next year,’’ Malcolm said. “We are not going to do this once and forget about it. The plan is to make it a long-running festival.’’ Perhaps Janelle Parker summed it up well: “The festival is about the people who produce and prepare our food. “While other events might rely on imported celebrities, we believe those in our region that grow, produce and prepare our food, are the true celebrities. “So we are inviting visitors to meet them, learn from them and to understand and appreciate what’s involved in putting food on the table.” For a detailed calendar of events, go to maryvalleycountry.au/gourmay-2023.html

Hinterland agencies merge Since 1989 Hinternoosa has been synonymous with real estate in the Noosa hinterland and served as trusted advisors to the prestige and large acreage hinterland market. Since 2010 Wythes Real Estate has been bringing a fresh energy and approach to the entry level to million dollar-plus hinterland market. Both agencies are known and respected for their local team of hinterland experts and achieving exceptional results. With proven track records independently, the two leading hinterland agencies are going from strength to strength by coming together to form a super team that is a new-look Hinternoosa. It will see the two offices joining forces under the one banner, operating from the two well-known locations. They will be offering sales, property management and administration at prominent and accessible locations in Cooroy and at Doonan. The combined talent of both teams forms a group of experienced real estate professionals. They recognise they are stronger together and have a unified vision aiming to continue to raise the bar in real estate. Individuals who make up this super team have thrived under the leadership of business owners and directors, Sirah and John Robb. Having had previous careers in health and engineering, the husband-and-wife team have a unique skillset that amplifies the success of their team and sees them always looking at what they do with fresh eyes to be at the forefront of the industry. This has seen new recruits being recognised by the REIQ at a state level as rising stars. Agents, property managers and administrators have been awarded as the best in the industry at a local and national level. State awards for innovation and community contribution have also been won.

They focus their attention on leading by providing coaching, systems, procedures and

world class training exclusive to their agency to elevate the team and client experience, which in turn empowers their team to achieve superior results for their clients. “Supporting our whole team, in all departments to achieve their personal and profes-

sional goals and be the very best they can be results in the best possible outcomes for our clients, a high performance, enjoyable team culture, and platform to give back to our community,” Sirah said. “As true hinterland experts with a depth of experience that has seen and can handle every type of market condition and property price bracket, combined with our strategic marketing campaigns and the largest volume of buyers in the hinterland competing for our clients’ properties, the new-look Hinternoosa is able to achieve superior results for our clients like no other. Independently, Wythes and Hinternoosa have consistently led the market as the top two selling and leasing hinterland agencies, performing well above market averages in regard to higher prices and shorter days on market. As a coming together of the very best real estate professionals in the industry, what this means for our clients is they have access to the best in the business who are working together to achieve even more for them.” As part of an Australasian network of the top performing boutique real estate agencies in the country, the new-look Hinternoosa are united in their vision to set the highest standards when it comes to service, performance, results, team culture, personal and professional development, innovation and community contribution.

Top gong for Altum Property honoured Caloundra Caloundra Music Festival has taken out the People’s Choice Award for Festival of the Year at the Queensland Music Awards held at the Fortitude Music Hall. The awards were a celebration of the state’s best musicians across 27 categories on Tuesday night (March 28), with performances by Casey Barnes, Hope D, Katie Noonan, and a showstarting opening number by Sahara Beck, all who have played Caloundra Music Festival. Festival Director Richie Eyles accepted the award saying there were so many great festivals in Queensland, and it was an honour to be considered amongst them, including our good friends from the Gympie Music Muster. Mr Eyles said the best thing about running a festival was being able to provide a platform for our homegrown talent. “The most heart-warming thing for me is to see how many nominees and award winners have already played at CMF, and we need people to continue to buy tickets to music festivals like ours to support these performers.” Last year, the festival celebrated 15 years at the iconic beachside location of Kings Beach, with attendees coming from every state in Australia and also New Zealand, enjoying the threeday event which showcased 70 artists, including 30 local acts. Sunshine Coast Councillor Terry Landsberg said there were three things that made CMF so popular - the destination, familyfriendly atmosphere, and of course the music - the local talent and emerging artists who supported national and international headlining acts each night. “This Award is well deserved by the Festival team and their extended family of 500+ volunteers, and their passion to provide a world-class community music festival,’’ Cr Landsberg said.

Sunshine Coast-based developer Altum Property Group has received national recognition for its Parkridge Noosa development by taking out the UDIA’s Best Medium Density Development at a gala event in Perth last week. This is in addition to another national award last year for best project in the Horticulture Institute of Australia awards. Altum Property Group director Rob McCready attended the event and said he was thrilled to win the award which recognised the excellence of the project’s staff, consultants, contractors, and suppliers. “We were very pleased to win the Queensland category for this award late last year and now to win best in Australia is just an incredible achievement considering the quality of the other developers and the projects we were up against,“ Rob said. “This award shows that a family-owned development company can compete against the very best in the industry on a national level if they are prepared to work hard and think outside the box like we did at Parkridge Noosa. “Ultimately what we wanted to create was a true community where people could live in a quality home nestled in nature and surrounded by immaculate landscaping with their own gym, restaurant, and providore all within the one development. The market responded very positively to Parkridge Noosa and winning the National UDIA award along with the 2022 National Institute of Horticulture awards reinforces the vision we created for the site.” Parkridge Noosa was developed on a unique 5.44ha parcel of land which was an abandoned sand mine and dump site, but otherwise almost entirely enveloped in protected parkland and sits between Noosa National Park (Weyba Section), the Girraween Nature Reserve, and the Noosa

Fellow director Alex Rigby said the project commenced in 2017 and overseeing the transformation of a dump site into a multiaward winning subtropical resort style development over the past five years has been very rewarding. “Our ability to take a disused sand mine and transform it into a stunning 179 dwelling mixed use development highlights the skill and dedication of our team and our collective ability to create a harmonious environment between the mixed use project and the nearby Girraween Nature Reserve. “This social and community infrastructure we have created as part of the development doesn’t necessarily benefit the developer from a financial perspective, but we can now clearly see its significant positive lasting legacy for current and future residents,” Alex said.

INEOS BRAND LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVELY IN NOOSA in the next month or two. “It just says so much for a vehicle and its brand when people are willing to invest significant dollars for a quality vehicle, without even sitting in one. We have nearly 40 units already ordered and paid for. That’s an amazing vote of confidence,” added Mr. Denman. And to kick off proceedings for the INEOS Grenadier arriving in town, Noosa Auto Group hosted an exclusive VIP launch night last Thursday for new vehicle owners at the impressive INEOS showroom on the Noosaville site. New owners finally got the chance to get up, close and personal with the Grenadier. “I think it might be on par with Christmas Day for some of these owners”, added Paul. They are so excited to see one in the flesh and knowing that their very own version will soon be here. Noosa people however won’t have to sit and wait too much longer though to try out the new Grenadier. Noosa Auto Group have also acquired their very own Grenadier that will be available for a test drive in the next month or two, due to the popular demand for this new motoring icon. So, if you’re serious about a serious vehicle that’s #BuiltOnPurpose, then it’s time to contact Noosa Auto Group’s INEOS Brand Manager Paul Denman on 5430 6100, or email the team at ig.sales@noosaautogroup.com.au to arrange a very special introduction to the INOES Grenadier. Find out more about the INEOS story at INEOSgrenadier.com/en/au/

One of the living legacies of British energy tycoon and self-made billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is the INEOS Grenadier, a vehicle widely recognised and much anticipated by enthusiasts across world motoring circles. The revered, serious off-roader was designed to fill the void of the original discontinued Land Rover Defender, and that decision now sees it joining forces with Noosa Auto Group, choosing to base its prestige off-road brand right here in Noosaville where it will service the Sunshine Coast and regions across South East Queensland. “We are beyond excited to have secured this partnership with INEOS” claimed Noosa Auto Group INEOS Brand Manager Paul Denman when asked about his feelings on the big announcement. “It’s a unique and very sort after brand. We just love the story and pedigree of the person behind it. From an idea conceived in a London pub with Sir Jim investing huge amounts of his own money into buying a huge production factory, then employing hundreds of people across the globe, to having actual INEOS Grenadiers arriving right here in the flesh in Noosa… it’s pretty special.” And the investment just doesn’t stop with INEOS. The local owners of Noosa Auto Group are proud to have invested in a completely new on-site showroom, along with more locals employed in sales and service departments that will be the new home of INEOS.“We already employ over 30 local staff, plus we employ local tradesmen and support the local community across a number of initiatives. This new brand will further cement our footprint in the Noosa region and continue to show that we’re committed for the long term.” And the Grenadier seems to be right home already in Noosa with an impressive number of pre-orders already taken with cars to start arriving 12598369-AA14-23

THE CLAREMONT MURDERS Seven, Monday, 8.30pm

Rather than a haul of chocolate eggs, settle in for the sweet yolk of gardening wisdom in this seasonal special. There’s Easter cheer and abundance of autumnal inspiration, with host Costa Georgiadis (pictured) the consummate plant reveller – there is surely no one who can match his enthusiasm. Costa visits an inspiring bowls club, complete with a community garden and tool library, which has become a hub for gatherings. Hannah explores the garden of a down-sized couple who have created an edible, blooming oasis in their small patch.

This new miniseries, based on the tragic murders of three young women in the mid-’90s, chills to the bone. Starring Erik Thomson, Kate Ritchie and Jeremy Lindsay Taylor (pictured), it follows the mystifying 25-year murder case, as seen through the eyes of the police who never gave up hope of justice, and the journalist who followed the story all the way through. Anyone who remembers the haunting headlines involving the murdered women from the well-to-do Perth suburb will find this a stomach-churning revisit.

In this new four-part documentary series, get set for an entertainingly playful celebration of iconic Aussie regalia. Footballer-turned-sportspresenter Tony Armstrong (pictured) takes viewers on a humorous and insightful excursion, examining why some things became national icons and others failed to become a belter. From the iconic meat pie to budgie smugglers, the dual-flush toilet, Speedos and the milk bar, it’s a fascinating exploration into our country’s psyche and what makes us tick. Featuring a panel of talking heads, including comedians Benjamin Law, Jean Kittson and Kevin Kropinyeri, it kicks off with a love letter to food – Chiko Rolls included.

Plastic-free leaders Fest for the A free program that has helped cafes and restaurants in regional Queensland, including Noosa, eliminate more than 8.2 million pieces of single-use plastics will now expand to the south-east corner as well as hotels and tourism venues. Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon joined the Boomerang Alliance to announce the rollout of Plastic Free Places to hospitality sites in Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay and the Redlands and accommodation providers in the regions the program is in place. The program run in partnership with the government and the alliance helps businesses phase out single-use plastics, which currently account for more than 75 per cent of rubbish removed from Australian beaches. It does this by helping businesses engage environmentally-friendly suppliers, providing on-the-ground support, data collection and breaking down barriers that business owners might face. With more than 600 regional Queensland businesses successfully taking part in the program, the Minister also announced the program would expand this year to the Wide Bay and Mackay/Isaac/Whitsunday regions. Additionally, the $1.6 million Plastic Free Places program will also reach out to hotel and tourism providers to help them come up with ways to get rid off single-use plastics in their venues, including shampoo and conditioner bottles. It builds on the Palaszczuk Government’s five-year roadmap to phase out a number of single-use plastics across the state, recent bans on single-use plastic straws and bags as well as its $1.1 billion Recycling and Jobs Fund to drive recycling and remanufacturing in the sunshine state. Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said, “More than 600 Queensland businesses across Noosa, Central Queensland, Townsville

Reducing plastic use across SEQ. and the Far North have proven that eliminating single-use plastics can be done.“ “We know the harm these types of plastic can cause – we’ve seen plastic bags in Sunshine Coast waterways 30-40-years-old. “Some businesses might already have measures in place, some might not. This free program is about helping business owners either get started or take it to the next level. “The majority of Queenslanders [7 out of 10] are already taking steps to cut out singleuse plastics, and together with many business owners they want to see it cut out from the places they dine, shop and stay at too.” Boomerang Alliance Campaign Manager Toby Hutcheon said, “In the past four years the Plastic Free Project has proved that establishing good working relationships with cafe businesses and their suppliers, and providing

helpful advice on packaging, they can eliminate problem plastics from use.“ “Our data proves the point. We have engaged with 600 cafes in Noosa, Cairns, Townsville, and Central QLD and helped them eliminate or replace over 8 million single use plastic items. “This expansion means that the project can be active across South-East Queensland and help local businesses in the way that we have achieved in other regions of the state. “A new innovation will be a focus on reusable food ware and BYO coffee cups. Hotels and cafes can play a big part in helping Queenslanders make the switch away from disposable packaging. “The Plastic Free Places program started in Queensland and is now active in every State across Australia.”

Entries open The 2023 winner of the Sunshine Coast Art Prize will take home $25,000 and joins greats like Tony Albert, Peter Hudson, Raquel Ormella, Michael Cook, Diena Georgetti and Natalya Hughes in the Sunshine Coast Art Collection. With that trajectory available, it’s no wonder the winner’s title has become one of the most hotly contested among Australian artists. The visual art award is now in its 18th year and is a showcase for outstanding contemporary 2D arts practice in Australia, offering a total prize pool of more than $40,000.

We also have an ambitious collecting strategy and are grateful to our generous donors, philanthropists, who ensure our collection is moving towards the cutting edge of contemporary art practice. “In addition, all 40 artworks selected as finalists will be exhibited in the Sunshine Coast Art Prize exhibition from August 18 to October 15 at the Caloundra Regional Gallery. “The exhibition very deliberately coincides with our 10-day multi-arts Horizon Festival, providing another outstanding outlet for the many cultural consumers that the festival

Trevor takes a country drive

We live in a beautiful area with great diversity of flora and fauna but are experiencing huge pressure on our environment by urban development. Backyards for Biodiversity promote both the importance and potential of urban areas for native biodiversity in South-East Queensland with the aim being to educate residents as to the beauty and environmental value of our plants and wildlife and the ways that nature can enrich our lives. The speaker at the next Noosa Parks Association’s Friday Forum Robyn Combes, a committee member of Backyards for Biodiversity, supports the need to care for and promote our wildlife from the ground up. She has lived on the Sunshine Coast since the early ‘80s and has learnt an enormous amount about ecology, geology, flora and fauna on their small property on the Blackall Ranges, east of Montville. Robyn has been part of Sunshine Coast Councils Land for Wildlife program for many years and recently entered into council’s Voluntary Conservation Agreement which will

Fixing mobile black spots Roadworks on Middle Creek Road at Federal are now complete after a $1.29 million safety upgrade was funded by the former Coalition Government through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program. Work on the upgraded stretch of road, which links Federal State School and Andersons Road, was fast tracked to cater for increased traffic flow due to the Black Mountain landslide diversion, and to provide a safer route and better travel times for motorists. Middle Creek Road has been carrying extra traffic while the Black Mountain Road landslide is being repaired, and a 2.1 kilometre section has now been strengthened with improved drainage, line markings and signage. The road shoulder has also been widened and sealed to improve safety and make it easier for drivers to navigate. The former Coalition Government committed $5,157,006 to Noosa Council, via the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, enabling it to select local road and community infrastructure projects that create employment and deliver long-lasting benefits to the community. Mobile Black Spot Funding With the threat of natural disasters in Wide Bay like bushfires and floods, and our many dangerous roads, it’s important that people can get the call out for help when they need to contact emergency services. We also need to make sure that families and businesses can connect and communicate, so it’s important for the Government to keep on working with

Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien telecommunication companies to extend and improve the mobile phone and broadband networks throughout Wide Bay. The former Liberal and Nationals Coalition Government understood this and extended the mobile phone network into black spot areas by providing subsidies for telecommunica-

tion companies to boost coverage in locations where it wasn’t economically viable for them to do so alone. Across Australia, the Coalition Government’s Mobile Phone Black Spot Program leveraged $875 million to invest in 1270 new mobile stations. In Wide Bay, the Coalition Government

worked with telcos to extend the mobile phone network to 19 locations, including Wolvi Mountain Road, Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Cootharaba, and there are still many locations across the 14,227sq km Wide Bay electorate that need coverage. The new Regional Connectivity and Mobile Black Spots Grants supports network operators to extend communications coverage to rural and regional locations. Licensed telecommunications carriers, or a consortium made up of a carrier, state or local governments, regional development bodies, or industry, business, or community groups can apply for funding to deliver new place-based or improved broadband and mobile services in regional areas. A project noticeboard has been established to assist communities to form partnerships with the telecommunications sector to develop applications for funding, and project proposals can be uploaded to the noticeboard until 31 May 2023. Further information about the program is available at infrastructure.gov. au/rcp Just as we need to continue to invest in new and upgraded roads, we also need to make new investments to continually improve and extend communications networks, as the former Coalition Government did. I am continuing to make representations to the Minister for Communications to encourage the Australian Government to address black spots in Wide Bay so people in all communities can stay in touch.

Paid permits Because of my difficulty now in finding suitable parking when shopping or for other appointments due to worsening medical issues, I have applied reluctantly with the necessary doctor’s medical requirement for a disability parking permit at our local DMR which is $19.21. I am informed that in NSW there is no fee. Not sure if the other states have fees to obtain one. I realise that yellow paint is not cheap as you see it used many times on our networks of roads as a warning of roadworks and to be aware of no-go zones unless you have authorisation to do so. So next time you happen to park in your free zone next to a disabled parking zone in Coles Woolworths or many other restricted areas with the yellow paint signs, don’t forget those entitled to use them have paid for the privilege and please respect it. You lucky people. Ernest Wright, Tewantin

Who are the parents? It has been widely reported that a major political party, defeated in the recent NSW election has been left “holding a very ugly baby”. Is anyone willing to name its parents? Just asking. Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

To meet our great farming community and understand the fascinating realities of our locally available food sources. It is most enlightening and essential knowledge for all.

Calling it for the residents Ingrid Jackson suggests tourism in Noosa is the “only one industry that reliably keeps it alive and kicking” (Letters, NT 31 March). In fact, Noosa survived two years of Covid-19 disruption with little tourism at all. According to the latest council statistics, the top industries by employment are the health care and social assistance industry, 14 per cent, followed by accommodation and food services, 11.7 per cent, construction, 11.1 per cent, and retail trade, 10.5 per cent. Obviously, nontourism sectors, including education and IT services, sustained our economy during 2020-2021. Jackson goes on to claim there is “a majority of councillors doggedly engaged in what looks like an ideological push to minimise visitors to the shire…” Reference in her letter to an “anti-tourism cabal” is most unfortunate. In fact, far from being a secret political clique, the pro-resident group of councillors has been trying to solve obvious STA anomalies that councils world-wide are grappling with. And, mid last year, all councillors agreed to pass new local laws which saw several restrictions on STA approvals, especially in lowdensity zones where residents were already battling unapproved mini-hotels in once quiet residential precincts. This was to counter, not the original homestay models, where residents rent out a room or two to visitors, but the newer online accommodation models, where whole houses are turned over to visitor accommodation. Cost recovery of the extra imposts on ratepayers caused by STAs is surely fair enough. Compliance costs of local laws and parking, extra bin removals, and extra infrastructure takes funds away from services and infrastructure residents are sadly lacking. It’s totally unfair for our small shire to shoulder the financial burden of an industry that knows no limits. This is an industry with an association all ratepayers subsidise, as well. The problems, including the financial imposts, on STA operators taking advantage of digital disruption, just because they can, draws no sympathy from those who thought Noosa was a shire with set tourism zones. Everyone here gets it that Noosa is a tourist town, but it’s always been a resident town as well. It’s time for councillors to think of electors since one 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 April, 2023

What matters in Noosa Columnist Phil Jarratt takes a whole page (Noosa Today, March 31) to rebut comments on the Noosa Matters website that I made about the negative impact on democracy from the slow death of traditional media and to rebuke me for what he describes as ‘off the top of the head analysis of the woes of local journalism’. First, let me say this: I was a journalist for 37 years and edited two metro papers and one national newspaper in the UK. I was editorial director of a chain of 60 daily newspapers in the US and Canada. I lectured at the American Press Institute and the European Journalism Centre. And I was one of the founders of the World Editors Forum. If that sounds boastful, I apologise, but I merely want to illustrate that there is some depth to my musings on the media. I admire Phil’s loyalty to the organ that pays his grocery bills, but that does not hide the fact that with the print versions of other local weekly and daily papers now defunct, the NT has a virtual monopoly. And we know what Rupert Murdoch once said about that: ‘A monopoly is a terrible thing … until you have one.’ And he should know. One of the downsides of the ‘M’ word in relation to newspapers is that you get to choose what you print – or don’t print. And Phil, in a burst of touching honesty, reveals that Noosa Today had ‘spiked’ a ‘flood’ of letters from readers criticising Mayor Clare’s rather ungracious attack on a previous letter writer’s view on the council. Yet it ran one that supported the politician. To Phil’s credit, he declares his unhappiness with that decision. This selectiveness illustrates that, while NT provides soft platforms regularly, if not weekly, for the mayor, sundry councillors and both state and federal MPs to spruik their achievements, it seldom asks these same people the hard questions on local issues. Or, indeed, allows others to do so. There is little doubt that now having three fewer printed papers covering our area narrows the range of opinion and insights vital

Dusk on Noosa River, captured by Chris Lofven. If you have a Lenscape please email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au to a community like Noosa. It also means that only one agenda is drip-fed to the residents of this shire. And that was essentially the point I was trying to make in Noosa Matters, a website which is now trying to correct the imbalance with healthy debate and diverse viewpoints. Bottom line: God bless Noosa Today, I’m genuinely glad it still exists, and to be fair, it does a decent job of covering day-to-day community events. However, I suspect the people of Noosa would like their newspaper to embrace more critical and challenging voices to help us preserve the uniqueness of the place

where we live, and the place we love. Terry Quinn, Noosa Heads Phil Jarratt responds: Terry, I have a pretty lengthy CV too, but I’ll stick to the point. Your self-confessed magnificence as a journalist should surely have led you to make a comparative analysis of Noosa Today and its former local newsprint rivals over at least the past decade. You would have found that NT does exactly what you ask of it. It also offers a platform for the views of local leaders, as does virtually every provincial newspaper in the country. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Keys king Andy at Majestic The last time Andy Cowan played the Majestic Theatre in Pomona, it was a two-hander with old mate Barry Charles almost two years ago, and the virtuoso singer-songwriter-musicians brought the house down. Expect similar fireworks when the Noosa hinterland resident, whose soulful Ray Charles’ voice and dazzling piano and keyboards style has been entertaining audiences all over the world for almost 50 years, presents a night of great music backed by his new band, Big Mama’s Door. A fixture on the Australian music scene, Andy is sometimes known as the King of the Keys. His style massages the soul-blues-R and B idiom in an acoustic jazz format. Blues has always been at the core of his work, but it is the emotional quality of his earthy voice, soulful piano-playing and the diversity he displays as a songwriter and interpreter that have helped make him one of the best live performers in Australia. Andy received Blues Album of the Year 2000, Blues Performer of the Year 2001, Male Performer of the Year 2003 and was an ARIA nominee for his 10.30 Thursdays CD. He was also awarded second place at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee in 2002. He has arranged and performed on movie soundtracks, including the Australian cult classic Stone and has toured internationally and across Australia for four decades. In the ‘70s and ‘80s Andy was a hired gun for legendary Australian bands, Madder Lake, Ayers Rock, Kevin Borich Express, and Renee Geyer, to name but a few, and also guested with Skyhooks on keyboards. For those who need a bit of a memory jolt on Andy’s local connection, he told Noosa Today in 2021: “I’d just left Madder Lake in ’73, and my grandfather was a mad fisherman who’d been coming to Noosa since the early ‘60s, so my wife and I came up from Melbourne to see him and spend a week or two in Noosa. I walked down Hastings Street and there was a sign in the window of the hot dog joint: ‘Keyboard player wanted’. Where do you see that! We ended up staying a couple of years.”

Andy with Barry Charles at the Majestic, 2021. Picture: ROB MACCOLL The band Andy joined was called Bunky’s, and alongside Barry Charles’ Rockets, they kept Noosa’s pubs and clubs rocking all those years ago. The members of Big Mama’s Door have an equally impressive pedigree. Christian Dunham (electric and double bass) is best known in Australia for tours with Matt Moffitt, Margaret Urlich and Kevin Borich. Overseas he has played bass for Emily Maguire on concert hall tours in the UK, supporting American legends Don McLean and Doctor Hook. Duncan MacQueen (drums, percussion). Duncan has played clubs, TV, and session work in Australia and the US, working in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Nashville and Austin, Texas. Special guest at the Majestic, Doc Span will be well known to Sunshine Coast blues lovers. The US expat has spent a life on the road, performing, writing, and recording, and has shared stages with the likes of Screaming Jay Hawkins, Kevin Borich and Jon Lord (Deep Purple). Andy Cowan and Big Mama’s Door will play the Majestic Theatre Pomona from 7pm on Saturday 15 April. Tickets $30 available at trybooking.com/events

Melbourne foodies experience a curated Sunny taste Rolling out the welcome mat to the first official Bonza flight from Melbourne, the Sunshine Coast gave passengers a taste of the many foodie delights they will find on our doorstep, while enjoying world-class beaches and beautiful weather. Officially launching the Sunshine Coast’s most highly coveted foodie experience, The Curated Plate, which will feature many of the region’s top food producers and chefs, passengers arriving from Melbourne were given a taste of what to expect in late July when the event kicks off. Sunshine Coast Airport chief executive officer, Andrew Brodie is delighted this new route for Bonza will provide travellers with greater options to experience the Sunshine Coast and importantly will provide greater alternatives for locals to experience Melbourne. “There is an affinity for the Sunshine Coast region that exists with Melbournians and that extends beyond our amazing beaches, weather and lifestyle. Visitors want to taste and enjoy our local foods and are willing to immerse themselves in the experience. “The Curated Plate will welcome people here in late-July for 10 days of truly remarkable foodie experiences and this new route from Melbourne, that Bonza commenced last week, will provide alternative options for travellers. “Just as Melbournians love visiting us, people from the Sunshine Coast relish the opportunity to get away to Melbourne to enjoy the wide array of experiences and cultural offerings available there. “This route is an important economic enabler for our region and will see an increase in passenger numbers arriving into the Sunshine Coast with more than 75,000 seats available between the two destinations,” Mr Brodie said Bonza chief executive officer, Tim Jordan,

Traditional Custodian Aunty Bridgette Chilli welcoming guests from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast.

Bonza chief executive officer Tim Jordan. who was on board this flight said, “Demand is high for Aussies to travel domestically and as the cooler months are upon us, Melbournites can now take a low cost flight to the Sunshine Coast for direct access to winter sun.” The first Bonza inaugural flight between the Sunshine Coast and Melbourne is one of 13 destinations Bonza will service from their home base on the Sunshine Coast and will operate four times per week for SE Queenslanders wanting a Melbourne getaway. With Bonza anticipated to bring an additional 772,000 seats to the Sunshine Coast and generate an estimated $86million in domestic visitor spend in the first 12 months,

Sunshine Coast gave passengers a taste of the many foodie delights. bringing the Airport Master Plan 2040 to life is a priority for Mr Brodie. “We are embarking on a period of significant growth and change which will benefit all of SE Qld and we are only just getting started. The first stage was completed in June 2020 when we opened the new longer and wider runway and over the coming years our domestic terminal will double in size, there will be an expansion of the Aerospace Precinct and our Southern Gateway will start to take shape. “In fact, we will be investing up to $1B in infrastructure which will have a significant impact on the regional economy.

We will create jobs, attract investment and support the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We are building a legacy for generations to come and the Sunshine Coast Airport will play a pivotal role in firmly putting the Sunshine Coast on the map as a destination for business and pleasure. “Our partnership with Bonza is an important milestone in our long term plans for Sunshine Coast Airport which will see us welcome greater volumes of travellers, opening up opportunities not previously available. “We cannot wait to welcome visitors from across Australia traveling on these brand new routes,” Mr Brodie said.

Stretching benefits StretchLab has opened in Noosa and people are bending over backwards to reap the benefits. The US wellness brand that has won over celebrities such as Gwenyth Paltrow offers one-on-one tailored stretching sessions designed specifically for your body’s needs and pain points. With WA, SA, and NSW, locations already open, StretchLab is lengthening its way across the country. Tom Hartwright, owner of StretchLab Noosa, is excited to put flexibility in reach for all demographics. Increased sports performance is one of the main benefits, however, stretching isn’t just for athletes or gym junkies. There are many other reasons to get stretched including increased flexibility, reduced muscle and joint pain, improved posture and reduced stress. “I love how regular stretching can help such a broad range of people, all the way from junior athletes wanting to perform better, tradespersons to the older demographic who are just looking to turn their heads better in the car or pick up their grandchildren,“ Tom said. “From desk warriors worried about their posture and rounding shoulders to people wanting to improve their mobility and flexibility and everyone in between. “I can see it quickly becoming a household name here in Noosa and Qld as it has done in the US. “We have had an amazing reception and our customers are saying they are grateful that Noosa was the first location in Queensland.“ Participants can choose from a 25 or 50-minute one-on-one assisted stretch session and once you join up, bookings can be made easily on the StretchLab Australia App. Don’t hold yourself back from living your most flexible life, contact StretchLab Noosa for a trial stretch. To learn more about StretchLab, call 1300 459 691, visit stretchlab.com.au or find them at Unit CA03/28 Eenie Creek Rd, Noosaville.

A 10km course has been added this year to compliment last year’s fun 5km distance.

SPORT NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Darron Shields on hand bike.

Darron on bike up Alexandra Headland hill.

Drive for sport inclusivity In 2013 Darron Shields raced his way into the history books as the first para-athlete to finish the Sunshine Coast 70.3 half ironman triathlon. Now he’s channelling his strength and determination to grow inclusive sporting opportunities for people with a disability. The Sunshine Coast para-athlete has lived with a spinal cord injury (SCI) for more than 20 years after he was involved a road accident while training for a triathlon in 2002. He spent two weeks fighting for his life in intensive care and eight months in a spinal rehabilitation unit to learn how to live with a SCI. Darron is a self-confessed fitness freak who has always had a passion to see what the body and mind can achieve through sport. Such is his mental toughness he made a deal with himself during rehab to complete an Olympic distance event within 10 years of his accident. This is a gruelling 1.5k swim, 40km cycle and 10km run. “I completed the Noosa Triathlon within nine years and nine months of my accident,” Darron said. “I completed this first race in three hours and two minutes and I was a little frustrated and said to myself ‘OK, next time I will aim to do it in under three hours’.” He went on to complete a Sports Science degree at the University of Sunshine Coast (USC) and for the past decade has competed in dozens of events such as the 2010 Paratriathlon World Championships in Budapest and again in New Zealand, in 2012, where he placed 11th. Darron works as the business development manager for the Paraplegic Benefit Fund (PBF), whose founding father Sir George Bedbrook brought the Paralympics to Australia. He also supported the growth of hand cycling in Australia and Queensland and was the state coach for the sport and a member of Cycling Queensland’s Para-Cycling committee. The 54-year-old is also part of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council’s organising committee for its All- Access Day at the Beach in Mooloolaba and works closely with the Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Association. “Being a triathlon, either as an abled-bodied athlete or as a para-athlete helps me to focus. It clears the mind, it gets the heart and the lungs going and I love the camaraderie of the sport,” Darron said. “It’s about doing something that gets you out of bed and whatever that is, it should be accessible for everyone.” In 2019 Carers Queensland supported Darron to access the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). He uses his supports to remain and regain his independence and for assistance with cleaning his house and tending his garden. “The NDIS has been a godsend. It gave me my independence back and it gave me my freedom back,” he said. “Right now I do most things by myself, but as I age, I’m sure I may need more supports, maybe daily activities or other areas that we take for granted. It’s good to know I have a NDIS plan for when my situation changes.” 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 7 April, 2023

Darron at the gym. Just recently Darron signed up to help Carers Queensland on its Inclusive Sports and Recreation project as a member of the organisation’s Beyond the Sidelines Reference Group. As one of Australia’s largest NDIS partners in the community, Carers Queensland has a key role to playing in driving inclusive change in communities. Its Sport and Rec project aims to increase the representation and participation of people with disability in sport and recreation, both on and off the playing field, in the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Darron is one of nine people with disability who will be instrumental in helping the organisation to identify best practices in sport and recreation for people with disability and remove the barriers to it. “For me, what’s missing is inclusive sports at a grassroots level, so when I got the opportunity to go for this reference group, I knew I had something to offer,” Darron said. “Yes, they’re sports out there, but let’s use basketball as an example. There’s opportunity

for people with disability to play basketball every single day of the week. But if you’re not a basketballer, how does that help them? “It should be more about asking people with disability what they want to play and finding some pathways to this and building on it. “It’s about making changes to ensure a person with a disability can go to a running, cycling or triathlon club and know they have access to knowledge, coaches, experience and equipment.” Darron said inclusion should be in every organisation and governing body’s charter and that more conversations needed to be had with councils around infrastructure at the planning level. “I’ve been working with Sunshine Coast Council on accessible ability,” Darron said. “We had a walk around the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and a lot of people were having aha moments on certain things that I pointed out and it just brings an awareness to decision makers. “We also must have robust conversations with planners so at the early stages it becomes a norm to have accessible stadiums and clubs,

instead of having to spend lots of money after the fact to make them inclusive.” Darron said the Sunshine Coast has a lot to offer in regard to sports and recreational opportunities for people with disability but there was work to done within clubs to make sure they were genuinely accessible. “We can’t change everything but if we work together then we can pull our ideas, experiences and talents to bring about real change,” he said. As for his personal goals, Darron is working towards more outdoor adventures in and around the Noosa, Glasshouse Mountains and Mooloolaba areas, as well as swimming more and attain his scuba diving certificate. Carers Queensland can support you to find out more about the NDIS, to apply for funding and to help you get started with the NDIS. If you have a disability but are not eligible for the NDIS, Carers Queensland can help you identify and link to options for support in your community. You can also contact Carers Queensland on 1300 999 636, cq.enquiries@ndis.gov.au, or sign up to the LAC Connect app.

NOOSA TIGERS

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Does it get any bigger? By Julian Pitts Good Friday at Rococo Oval with modern day rivals the Noosa Tigers and Wilston Grange going head to head in all three senior men’s grades! To say we are expecting a huge crowd would be an understatement as it’s the only game of football being played in the state. Both Noosa and Grange fell short in week one of the 2023 QAFL season, Grange in the final minutes after leading Morningside all day while the Tigers started well before a Sharks’ avalanche ruined their party after both the Tigers colts and Reserve Grade took the chocolates in impressive style. In recent years there has been no love lost between the Tigers and the Gorillas with the QAFL head to head being 2-2.

Popular ex-Noosa assistant coach and player Beama Moloney is in charge of the Gorillas which, of course, adds even more spice to the encounter. The Tigers will again look to stalwarts Laskey, Fitzpatrick, Buntain and Stack to provide drive and leadership while the form of Flagg, Pettigrove and ruckman Callum Crisp was impressive last week. Round 1 votes for the 2023 Media Award were: 5. J.Fitzpatrick 4. L.Flagg 3. M.Pettigrove 2. R.Buntain 1. C.Crisp Good Friday games will look like this: 9.30am Colts.

· 11.30am Reserves · 2pm Seniors.

The Senior Men’s game will be live streamed through our Tiger TV Facebook page or on Youtube. Just type in ‘official Noosa Tiger’ from 2pm. Commentary from Julian Pitts and Grange director of footy Darren O’Keefe. A reminder to all patrons that there will be a small gate charge when entering Rococo Oval on Good Friday with no bar due to liquor licensing laws. Come along and get behind the mighty Noosa Tigers in what will be just a wonderful day of top flight local footy. Go Tigers Cheers Pittsy

Fifty years after the first World Cup in cricket was played in 1973 by women, two years ahead of the men’s first World Cup, one of the inaugural team members Patsy Fayne (then Patsy May) presented a trophy she donated to a player in Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club’s new women’s team. Sharon Withers, a member of the women’s team, treasurer of the club and mother of children involved in the club’s junior programs was“a very worthy recipient“ of the inaugural Spirit of Cricket award. “The trophy will be a perpetual trophy, given annually to the one who spends time and energy supporting the values of the Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club and their efforts to provide a happy, safe cricket experience for all,“ Patsy said. In 1973, seven international women’s teams competed in the One Day/60 overs competition with a round robin format and no finals. “England and Australia were believed to be the strongest countries playing women’s cricket at the time so were programmed to be the last game played,“ Patsy said. “After the rounds Australia was ahead on points. The final game took place at Edgbaston on the 28 July, 1973, on a bitterly cold day. England won the game convincingly and were crowned the first World Cup Champions in Cricket. “The bat enclosed in the trophy was signed by the women who played in the game... a game played in the true spirit of cricket.“ Patsy said the mini bats were available for purchase at most big games and was one she brought back from England in 1973. “It was signed on the day of the match, at the ground, during the game,“ she said. “This is usually done while your team is batting ... two players out in the middle batting, while the rest sit around waiting, signing bats.“ Patsy, of Noosaville, played cricket for Australia from 1968 to 1976. There were no wages for women cricketers

Three first aid medal wins At the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships held in Perth, the Noosa Surf Club was once again among the medals in the relatively unknown First Aid competition. Noosa, under coach Lenore Grice and her assistants, came home with a silver and two bronze. For many years first aid competition struggled for recognition, but now it has really started to change. With the massive visitation now being experienced on our beaches, its importance is noted. It is interesting to note the number of first aid patrol people who, after getting experience have turned to paramedics as a profession. In Noosa’s first aid U15 team, they took a double when Rosita Ortega and Archer Bailey won silver and Rosie Goulding and Pebble Brennan-Kessel won bronze. Open First Aid, Joey Glassock and Jessie Lloyd Stewart also

Coach Lenore Grice won bronze. Once again in our youth competition U14 Champion Lifesaver, our Rosita Ortega won bronze.

In the water Open Female 2km swim Finella Gibbs-Beal won gold and made it a double when she also won the U19. In the U19 Male

2km,Kilian Carrel won bronze. Open Female Longboard Kirra Molnar won gold and doubled up to win gold in the Shortboard. In the master’s section Noosa entered a big team coming home with a big tally of medals in all sections: gold silver and bronze. It was good to see that they really performed well in team events, right across the board: taplin, ski, board and swim. A Masters team in clubs is good to see as they can in many cases, serve as mentors for the youth. Prominent amongst the Golden Oldies were Alison Peg, Julie Fidler and Peter Borain: and of course, the evergreen Iron lady of surf, Gina Lynch. Next week we discuss the Australian Titles with Sunshine Beach Lifesaving Manager Michelle Burnett and coaches Wes Berg and Dylan Wilson.

Great results from Noosa Little Athletics at state titles It’s happened again - another great performance from our athletes of the Noosa Little Athletics Club. From the 24-26 March our team proudly supported by parents travelled to Townsville for the Queensland Little Athletics State Championships. This was a huge event with over 1400 competitors battling it out for state glory over three days. Our Noosa team members again produced some outstanding results, bagging a total of 18 medals: five gold, seven silver and six bronze. Supporting this there were many personal best performances and top 10 finishers. This speaks volumes for the future of this great club. These championships were also selection trials for prestigious U13 Queensland team that will compete at the Australian Little Athletics Championships in Melbourne, 21-23 April. “Our club had three members named on the team which was our best ever representation,” said proud head coach Mick Hooper. Taya Clayton won gold in the U13 100m and 80 m hurdles; Marlon Andrews winning gold in the U13 100m sprint and silver in the 400m: Eli Melinz for silver in the U13 1500 walk. We will also have Luca Gerrard representing Queensland in the newly formed U14 Australian little Athletics to be held in Melbourne over the same weekend. Luca has been selected for the 100m sprint and triple Jump, based on his performance over the last 12 months. This is fantastic for our small club to have four of our up-and-coming athletes taking on the best in Australia, definitely well deserved results after all their dedication to training and competition.” Once again, the head coach expressed his sincere thanks to all families and supporters who made the long trip north thus, giving the support athletes need to perform at their best Outrigger canoe club At the recent Round 4 of the South Queensland Zone OC6 Series, held at Coffs Harbour for the Outrigger Canoe competitors, our local crews performed well. After three previous rounds, which were held at Noosa, Broadwater and Northcliffe, Noosa was leading overall with 448 points from Gold Coast 326 and Mooloolaba on 324.

On Saturday the Bendigo Open Ladies played Gympie and they have had better days with only a regular forward pack of four players. With a final score of 42-8 in favour of Gympie, there was some flashes of courage that indicated the tide will turn. In the U19s, they played Caloundra going down 16-4. However, there was signs of a big improvement on their last game and the season has a long way to go. Sunday saw Division 2 Pirates play Coolum on their home ground. Pirates finish on top 2010. “It was a great win against Coolum,” said coach Danny Riddle. “We really took control in the forwards, right from the start. We did concede the first try, but by half time we made amends and were in control. Second half we continued the pressure and wrapped up the match with a try on fulltime.” For Pirates, Aiden Webb put in an awesome display on the wing against much bigger oppo-

This will be an even greater challenge, but one for which we will definitely be prepared.” In Men’s Division 1 it was Noosa Pirates v Coolum. “For us in Pirates,” said head coach Mick Duff, “our Sunday game at Coolum was definitely a hard-fought win. Still down on some troops and receiving some key position injuries early in the game, we hung on and played hard to win. “Captain Dan Moevao was an inspiration leading from the front. Young halves Jeff McCarthy and Tyson Schafer were fantastic. Evergreen forward Kris Williams was the difference in the middle with his massive work rate. While we are not as yet putting out our best performance we are building nicely towards our next game, against Beerwah after Easter.” On a social and somewhat personal side, the DIV 1 Pirates went into battle on the 2 April to play round one of three of the Inaugural Richter-Cavanagh Shield Games. In doing so they were victorious 18-14. It’s coming home. Regarding the shield Pat Cavanagh is a long- time volunteer not only

Simon, president Coolum Colts- Senior Rugby League said of Sam Richter, “He was an outstanding junior talent coming through the Pirates, but tragically passed away as a young man. The Richter family is a renowned member of the Noosa community. “The Pirates played a memorial game with his team mates for several years after his passing. It is great to see this tradition live on and Sam and the Richter family acknowledged in this annual shield clash with Coolum.” President of Noosa Pirates Liam Anlezark said, “This is the first of three games played this season in a State of Origin style: with the winner of each round holding the shield at their clubhouse. The overall winner after game three will be engraved and retain the shield until 2024. Next clashes are: game two Saturday 10 June (Tewantin) round 9, game three Sunday 6 August Tewantin round 16. Many thanks to the Noosa Trophy & Engraving Centre for sponsoring the Richter-Cavanagh Shield. It is gestures such as this that make our great game one of pride and traditions.

Consoled by sister Tyler after missing the cut, 2022.

Picture: WSL

Heroic Owen Wright retires As I write this column, the day before the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach waiting period begins, the swell forecast doesn’t look that flash, at least for the rest of this week, but the sentimental side of me hopes that Huey, the god of surf, relents and decides to throw out a couple of days of glassy double-overhead bombs, saying, “These are for you, Big Owen.” Owen Wright’s announcement of his retirement from professional surfing on social media on 21 March wasn’t entirely unexpected. The WSL had more or less made the decision for him in the middle of last year when the big goofy-footer failed to make the mid-season cut. Then 32, Owen still had the ability to fight back onto the Championship Tour through the Challenger Series, no one doubted that, but after more than seven years already spent fighting back from a potentially career-ending brain injury sustained at Pipeline, did he have the will. Well, he gave it a crack, but given the limitations imposed on him by his medical team, if he wanted to watch his children grow up, the chances of reaching the highest level again and staying there were slim and getting slimmer. The elegantly powerful Olympic bronze medallist (Tokyo 2021) and multiple recordbreaker eloquently explained his decision and what lay behind it: “After my traumatic brain injury in 2015, my desire to prove to myself

and the world that I could still be great and overcome this life-threatening incident inspired my recovery. “Now eight years later, after challenges and accomplishments, I can look back happily, knowing I achieved that goal. Today, I am sharing the news that I will retire from competing at the highest level of surfing. “Given my recent history with head injuries and concussions, competing at some of the heaviest waves on the planet is no longer in the best interest of my long-term health. I excelled in these conditions over my career, but the risks associated with this type of surfing are too significant for someone in my position, given my medical history. “I will not retire from surfing altogether – just from surfing heavy waves. I hope to keep surfing for the rest of my life. I love surfing and thank the sport for everything I have. I hope that in this new chapter of my life, I can help be a voice for brain health and an advocate for athletes across all sports who have suffered TBIs and concussions throughout their careers.” After a spectacular junior career, Owen, older brother to former women’s world champion Tyler and free-surfing hell-man Mikey, first qualified for the Championship Tour in 2010, and went on to claim four event wins over his 12 years on tour: the 2011 Quiksilver Pro New York, the 2015 Fiji Pro Cloudbreak, the 2017 Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, and the 2019

Outerknown Tahiti Pro. Predictably, most of these wins have come in waves of consequence, even New York, which tossed up some of the best barrels ever seen on Long Island, enabling him to defeat Kelly Slater and pocket pro surfing’s biggest payday of $US300,000. Owen is also one of only five surfers to score a perfect heat (two perfect 10s) in competition, a feat accomplished just eight times in CT history. And he did it twice in a week, posting both of his perfect heat totals at the 2015 Fiji Pro at Cloudbreak. But perhaps his most courageous achievement was in donning a protective helmet, post-Pipeline tragedy, to beat Gabe Medina for the title over the shallow coral shelf at Teahupo’o. So soon into his recovery, that took guts, something of which Owen has never been short. Although I only saw that on TV, I have been privileged to watch his flowing forehand freesurfing from the channel at Cloudbreak, as well as his lip-smashing vertical backhand in competition at Bells, Margaret River and Snapper Rocks. Over more than a decade, if he wasn’t my favourite surfer to watch, he was top three. And now he says farewell at Bells: “The WSL and Rip Curl have offered me the wildcard… My family, medical team and I agreed that this would be the perfect location for me to compete for the last time before hanging up the rashie. Competing in front of my friends,

family, and fans for the last time at Bells will be amazing.” It will be, Owen, and let’s hope we get to see you flying high and hard one last time with the jersey on. Landen lands another one Not content with another great showing at the Noosa Festival of Surfing, uber-talented Noosa all-boarder Landen Smales was recently named Sunshine Coast Athlete of the Year, as well as Indigenous Athlete of the Year at the Sunshine Coast Sports Awards. Landen, still only 16, is filling up the trophy cabinet very quickly. At the sports awards, he was recognised for a stellar 2022, in which he took out state and national titles in shortboard and longboard, and that’s just for starters. Noosa’s Alexa Leary was also honoured for her great results in disabled swimming. At the surf festival, Landen took out the under 18 boys’ division from a strong international field and also finished fourth in the WSL longboard regional qualifier, giving him a good chance of making the championship series with a good result in Manly in May. Landen’s Indigenous story began a few years back when dad Brent tracked his family to the Noongar and Bandjalung people of WA. Since then, he and older brother Kaiden have become proud and active participants in Indigenous surfing events and cultural programs.

Leading Noosa agent Tom Offermann said actions have been highly successful in the lead-up, with most selling under the hammer or prior as buyers submit offers hoping to avoid the competition on the day. A shining example was a four-bedroom golf course frontage townhouse in Noosa Springs. It had three contracts simultaneously submitted with one being a knock-out offer which was accepted on the eve of the auction. Similarly for a Noosa Sound waterfront home at 17 Wyuna Drive where a preauction contract was too attractive to resist. “We’ll take the bird in hand,’’ the owners said.

This was after two contracts were presented simultaneously. The most active sector in March for Tom Offermann Real Estate was the sub$2m range, with more than a dozen sales negotiated. Apartments at 2/6 Angler St on Noosa Hill and 1/12 Howard St, Noosaville, both had five registered bidders and sold under the hammer for $3.460m and $2.915m respectively. “We have a super selection of auction

LAND, LOTS OF LAND It was a big day at Cooroy last Friday when Jeanette Catalano and Dannielle Preston of Hinternoosa took three properties to auction. The three properties had been part of a larger holding held by the same family for more than 80 years so this is a rare chance to secure land of this size so close to the township. The properties had been prepared for sale with old sheds taken down and vegetation curated so buyers could see what was on offer. “It was unbelievable,’’ Jeanette said, “All the properties sold. “It was a beautiful day and all three auctions were held in the front yard of 125 Garnet St.’’ There was one phone bidder from Wide Bay who was on holiday and he bought the vacant 3.022ha rainforest block at 141 Mary River Rd for $560,000. “That was smack-bang where the market feedback during the campaign placed it,’’ Jeanette said. The vacant 3136sq m at 117 Garnet St saw two registered bidders, and sold at auction for $520,000 to buyers who had lived in the area and were back, looking to build. The thee-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage on 1.52ha at 125 Garnet St had strong post-auction interest in the wings but the two registered bidders took it to $730,000. “The buyer, a local, was just so thrilled,’’ Jeanette said. “Again, that was right in the feedback

With two-car garaging, it offered river glimpses in a complex that was mostly owner-occupiers. “There was a big crowd, and four registered bidders,’’ Jason said. “It sold for $1.1m to Brisbane buyers for personal use. “It was a very significant sale as it broke the previous record of $915,000 for the complex. “That is quite extraordinary in the current economic climate. “The buyers were very emotional and the sellers were thrilled with the result.’’

PERFECT FOR THE EXTENDED FAMILY ADMIRE the meandering avenues fringed with gardenia hedges, gracious palms and manicured gardens, of what is regarded as one of the best golf-based residential communities in the country. Easy to see why. Open the double custom timber and glass front door, note the chandelier-like glass pendants in the vestibule. Look around, be instantly besotted by a sense of indisputable glamour, fashioned with clever design responses of endless granite flooring and picture windows along the loftyceilinged hallway. Be dazzled by a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard, a pergola covered in climbers suggesting long lunches, and in the foreground a classic pond with goldfish, water plants and the water feature centrepiece, a moss-covered urn adding tranquil Zen character. Further ahead it is all about scale, functionality, floor-to-ceiling fold-away glass doors and natural light bouncing off the granite in the massive living and dining space, similarly the sitting room. It coalesces in a transparent way, to the multiple wide terraces and central courtyard, stretches across the width on the north-east side, cleverly abutting the sparkling angular pool and lush gardens. Botanical-like gardens seemingly surround the residence and off the living area, tall pots of giant bromeliads are a talking point. The kitchen is commensurate in size, has stone-topped cabinetry, pantry, smokehued mirror splash-back, plus all the latest high-end appliances and accoutrements desired by a culinary wizard the calibre of Jamie Oliver. There are four carpeted bedrooms. Upstairs and accessible by a lift, is the king master suite retreat in the north-east wing. It has an undercover terrace and outdoor spa, a walk-in robe to suit a fashionista plus ensuite with walk-in shower, double vanity and bidet. Two bedrooms on the same level have built-in robes with share/ direct access to the family bathroom which has a bathtub. Downstairs, there is a king size bedroom with ensuite and built-in robes making it ideal for visitors or the extended family. Overlooking the courtyard is a large study. “This residence is a perfect example of an excellent value-for-money in an exclusive gated estate with prestige homes,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Julie Bengtsson who has slated the property for auction on Friday 14 April 2023. “A resident’s only resort-style pool is nearby and it is a short buggy ride along the pathway to the clubhouse at Noosa Springs Golf & Spa.

ALLURING APARTMENT, PRIZED LOCATION IF you have had your eye on the prize of an apartment with alluring glamour, this is it. Add beach and river views dappled through Paperbark trees forming an enviable northerly backdrop over scintillating Noosa Sound, while in the foreground shrubs border a lush lawn, all seemingly an extension of a very private and expansive covered terrace. It is in fact a designated area for the resident’s exclusive use. And that is just the beginning to finding an extraordinary piece of paradise. Step inside. Look at the monochromatic hues, the lofty ceilings and how lashings of natural light add sheen to the travertine tile flooring of the prodigious open plan living and dining areas. Gallery-style walls suit large format canvases, and the neutral palette continues into the media room. Note how indoors coalesces with the terrace, where nature rules, imposing those quiet strengths, and the pretty pink hues of sunset would be the perfect accompaniment to drinks and a barbeque prepared in the outdoor kitchen. Commensurate with the apartment, the over-generous alfresco space is also suited to large family lunches and dinner parties. The designer kitchen has every accoutrement desired by a passionate cook and entertainer, from creamy white stonetopped benches including a long island/ breakfast bar to high-end appliances. And if you need to catch up on the latest recipes from Rick Stein, there is a television. The butler’s pantry/scullery has the obligatory sinks, prep bench and heaps of storage including a hideaway for appliances. Wine aficionados will rejoice knowing a wine store adjoins. The substantial king-size master suite opens out to the main terrace, has an office/reading nook looking out

through the trees, a walk-in robe/dressing room, ensuite with double basin vanity, shower plus separate toilet and bidet. In the south wing are two queen-size bedrooms with ensuites. One has a walk-in robe and a television, the other a built-in robe. Both connect to the undercover terrace which has a lounge space, kitchenette, wine fridge and a maintenance-free garden with glossy-leaved

tropical magnolias. The laundry is fully equipped and there is a powder room. Being on the ground floor the resident’s only pools and beautiful gardens are close-by. “First impressions do count, however with many tech-smart inclusions and secure below-ground garaging for two cars, plus a lock-up store, there’s much more on offer than what meets the eye,” comments Tom Offermann Real

YOUR PERSONAL ACREAGE RETREAT IN THE HEART OF NOOSA SHIRE OPPORTUNITIES like this don’t come knocking very often in Noosa. Glenridge Estate comprises just seven acreage blocks forming a private hideaway at the foot of Mt Tinbeerwah. Upon releasing the prized parcel of land, straight-talking developer Mark Bain stated, “It’s the ultimate blank canvas to build the ultimate Noosa dream home on. Glenridge represents a rare benchmark in Noosa property - sprawling acreage set in a natural pocket flanked by a green corridor of national parks, rainforests and lakes. “It’s a very scarce opportunity to build your own personal retreat at the very heart of Noosa Shire. It’s a sea change and a tree change in one. Glenridge is nestled into a corridor of rainforest and parkland that forms a natural alcove, with all acreage blocks offering peaceful seclusion, a long way from suburbia. These limited, level, low-density blocks are set between the sandy shores of Lake Cooroibah and the rainforests and rockpools of Mt Tinbeerwah, in what is pretty much the beating green heart of

the Noosa Biosphere. By any measure, Glenridge is a location of distinction - a low-density, green hideaway with supreme access to amenities and Noosa’s coastal precinct. “We’re fortunate to be involved with Glenridge,” says Ray White Noosa River’s Lindy McAskill. “I mean, acreage like this, with this proximity to the coast? It never happens. “Ten minutes from Tewantin, 20 minutes to Hastings St, and just 15 to North Shore or Noosaville.” Each block released by renowned local developer, MBC Prestige, provides the perfect scope to build a personal Noosa haven amid wide-open spaces. The seven sprawling blocks measure between 1.5 and 3 acres, with each protected by a natural weather buffer of surrounding parkland. “Discerning buyers will see this as the utmost opportunity to create their vision of a Noosa dream lifestyle,” says Justin Sykes from Ray White Noosa River who have secured exclusive sales rights to Glenridge. ●
