Trust trumps plan By Margie Maccoll A packed Noosa Council gallery applauded when councillor Amelia Lorentson proposed a motion to defer the draft Noosa River Catchment Management Plan (NRCMP) until July 2024, saying the issue wasn’t even the river plan, it was public trust. It was an emotion-charged council chamber at last Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting in which councillors were set to decide on the proposed NRCMP that had undergone years of planning and consultation, had already been deferred a month to enable more information and consultation to be obtained, particularly surrounding a proposed establishment of a Conservation Park, and was recommended by staff for approval. Pivotal to the decision outcome was the

exclusion from the meeting, following his conflict of interest declaration, of Cr Brian Stockwell who had voiced his support for the NRCMP at council meetings last month. Councillors questioned Cr Stockwell on his declared business relationship through his consultancy, Watershed Australia, with Healthy Land and Water which had provided input into the plan. The decision for him to remain in the room was heavily debated, the vote was 3:3 and lost on a casting vote by the chair, Cr Clare Stewart. Cr Stockwell told the meeting in his consultancy his work included catchment management planning, town planning and river restoration. Cr Joe Jurisevic said he believed it was in the

public interest to have someone with such experience in this area in the room. “We all offer advice, knowledge and experience to council when we have the relevant experience,“ he said. Cr Karen Finzel agreed all councillors brought expertise to the table and contributed to decisions made but said she had concerns about disclosure around Cr Stockwell’s business arrangements. “My issue is the perception of public trust,“ she said. Cr Tom Wegener described the issue as “preposterous“. “He has done his job and he is being punished for doing his job well and for working with staff on the river plan and anything to do with water,“ he said. Cr Frank Wilkie said no link had been drawn to Cr Stockwell benefitting in any way by

staying in the room. “This is not democracy in action. it’s an improper use of conflict of interest laws,“ he said. “The important thing is Cr Stockwell has been open and transparent and declared that in a packed room. “Yes, he did some work for Health Land and Water, Healthy Land and Water is mentioned in this report. I don’t know if his work with Healthy Land and Water has anything to do with this report - he’s saying no. “This is a tenuous, shadowy link being drawn here and an easy one to sell because the emotion is so high.“ Cr Lorentson said the test was “whether a fair minded, reasonable person on the street would think he’d be impartial“.

With the school year nearly at an end those leaving will be looking to the future and wondering what career options will be right for them. To help them out the Australian Government has released a list of 10 jobs that will be most in-demand over the next five years, based on shortages, expected growth and the Skills Priority List. The top 10 positions are: construction managers, civil engineers, early childhood teachers, registered nurses, ICT business and systems analysts, software and applications programmers, electricians, chefs, childcare workers, aged and disabled care workers. Another consideration uppermost in many minds is the impact of artificial intelligence on future occupations. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) occupations at highest risk from AI-driven automation were highly skilled jobs which represented about 27 per cent of employment across its 38 member countries, which include the UK, Japan, Germany, the US, Australia and Canada. The Guardian reports OECD saying highly skilled occupations in areas such as finance, medicine, science, engineering and law which often require many years of education, and whose core functions rely on accumulated knowledge and experience to reach decisions, may find themselves at risk of automation from AI. As AI breakthroughs progress from AI tools – such as ChatGPT – are increasingly producing results indistinguishable from that of humans.

Twinnies evacuate Breach of conduct from bushfire threat

Noosa councillor Brian Stockwell was found to have engaged in inappropriate conduct by his fellow councillors, following the noting of a confidential report of the Acting CEO during a closed session of the Ordinary Meeting. Following the closed session, Council recorded that pursuant to the Local Government Act 2009 Council found that on 12 and 13 March, 2023, Cr Stockwell engaged in inappropriate conduct. It found Cr Stockwell breached the Code of Conduct for Councillors in Queensland requirement for councillors to treat Council employees with courtesy and fairness by sending emails to persons with allegations that recommendations provided within a Council officer’s report had been in breach, or in potential breach of the Council’s Employee Code of Conduct. Council formally expressed its disapproval of the inappropriate conduct engaged in by Cr Stockwell and ordered that Cr Stockwell be reprimanded for his inappropriate conduct; and attend training or counselling at the Councillor’s expense within a period of three months from the date of this order to address the Councillor’s conduct. The decision was carried unanimously by councillors.

By Margie Maccoll Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue were forced to evacuate about 35 birds from their intensive care unit (ICU) and recovery unit in the early hours of Saturday morning when bushfires came within 200m of their Landsborough rescue centre, then the Twinnies and mum Helen stayed behind to keep the other birds safe. “The smoke was terrible,“ Paula and Bridgitte Powers (The Twinnies) said. “It’s a terrible feeling when it’s so close. We could see just this shiny red glow. “Helicopters and planes were going nonstop (dumping water on the fire).“ Twinnies said the birds were calm but you could tell they knew there was a fire. The surrounding neighbours were evacuated from their homes but Helen and her daughters stayed, hosing down outside and wetting all their towels and doonas to put around the windows and doors to keep out the smoke inside then put the fans on for ventilation. Wildlife Rescue Sunshine Coast’s Claire Smith and 16 volunteers arrived at the centre about 12.30am Saturday morning in nine cars to evacuate the wildlife most in need. “We had two locations to take them,“ Claire said. “At my home we set up ICU in our laundry and then an outside room for all the patients in recovery. In the carport we had swans, geese and curlews. Another person took all the lorikeets and some other ICU patients. Everybody survived the night. Then we waited until it was OK to take them back. The plan was always to put them back as soon as possible. “It was very hard for the Twinnies to look at the ICU and see it completely empty - very hard and very stressful.“ “It’s a terrible thing, fire. We feel for what other Queenslanders are going through with fire at the moment,“ Helen said. “The firefighters have done so well. It’s good that the community does pull together.“ Claire said the rescue group remained on watch and wait and would do so until the threat of fire had completely passed. “We are 100 per cent on watch and wait with them. They can call any time day or night. Our entire team is ready to go at the drop of a hat,“ she said. “It’s just something the community has to get onboard with and offer help. With wildlife, having the knowledge to care for them is important and thankfully we have a lot of people with that knowledge.“ Helen said they began the clean up on Sunday with everything smelling of smoke. Being dependent only on tank and bore water they have now depleted much of their supplies and will have to buy in water.

Council hears from public Stakeholders and community members sent mixed feedback on the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan (NRCMP) to Noosa Council after the matter was deferred a month to its October meetings. Staff sent the draft NRCMP for further feedback to an expanded group of 24 key stakeholders, including State Government agencies, Natural Resource Management and environmental organisations, community and industry associations, the Kabi Kabi Peoples Aboriginal Corporation, research institutes, and former members of the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee (NRSAC). They reported the majority of respondents generally supported the plan, a few just provided general feedback and a couple objected to it. Former NRSAC feedback was mixed, with objections due mainly to strong opposition to the establishment of a conservation park. The deferral motion led to the plan also being opened to input from the broader community through emails, submissions and inquiries, with the result being widespread confusion and distrust within the community, staff said. The Ordinary Meeting last Thursday received petitions, questions and a strong community attendance. Two petitions were received at Council’s Ordinary Meeting and referred to the CEO for appropriate action. One petition objecting to the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan had more than 200 signatories. A second petition calling for a stop to Noosa River turning into a conservation park received more than 2400 signatories. Questions on notice relating to the NRCMP were taken from three residents at the meeting with responses provided by acting CEO Larry Sengstock. Q: Nick Cooke - Will Noosa Council categorically confirm that they will not ban, suspend or restrict powered vessel access to any part of Noosa River now or into the future? R: Larry Sengstock Council does not have the authority to ban powered vessel access to the river and does not seek to gain this authority. There is no proposal to prevent powered vessels from accessing the river, in fact Council is working with Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) to identify suitable upgrades to boating facilities. For two years Council and the former Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee, comprised of 14 members representing the commercial and recreational fishing and boating sectors, conservation and Natural Resource Management, commercial operators on the river and the tourism sector, worked with MSQ to introduce a 28-day anchoring limit in any financial year to reduce congestion and improve the river’s amenity, which is anticipated to be considered by the Minister for Transport and Main Roads next year. This was a major achievement and outcome of the Committee.

Council’s acting CEO Larry Sengstock responded to residents’ questions on notice. Q: Julie Watson - What is the procedure if you go ahead with the conservation park over the river if a future council want to change the parameters that you set? R: Larry Sengstock Any council can consider the decisions of a previous council and revisit those decisions, policies and strategies adopted by that council. In relation to the issue of the conservation park consideration, it is important firstly to understand this Council is not going ahead with a Conservation Park, this Council is considering a Noosa River Catchment Plan that includes an action to consider a Conservation Park. Consideration of a Conservation Park would be a lengthy and comprehensive process and requires a number of steps including public consultation and a detailed feasibility assessment of natural, cultural and socio economic values of the river. If this were to proceed this process would take some time before any future Council considered going ahead with a Conservation Park over parts of the river. Q: Hayley Hass - What specific role and/or involvement does the SEQ Council of Mayors Resilient Rivers Initiative have in the formu-

lation and/or execution of the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan? R: Larry Sengstock Council of Mayors South East Queensland (COMSEQ) has indicated its South East Queensland Waterways and Wetlands Investment Strategy, which Council provided input to, is likely to be endorsed by the Resilient Rivers Taskforce in December. Council has formulated the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan taking into account the framework for Catchment Action Plans already endorsed by other Councils. Catchment action plans can be developed by Councils, or the Resilient Rivers Initiative in partnership with Council and key stakeholders. If Council has an existing plan for its catchment it will expedite funding decisions, but the absence of one will not preclude funding for projects, simply delay it until a plan is developed. COMSEQ’s strategy includes a multi criteria analysis for potential projects and sets a vision for funding for the future of the region’s waterways and wetlands. COMSEQ has invited Council to put for-

ward high priority projects. Funding for projects is not guaranteed however co-contributions for projects which utilise good science and engineering will be well-received. Council’s Noosa River planning history: Planning and management for the Noosa River by Council has an extended and on-going history from the early 2000s when the Noosa River Plan was first being developed. The first council plan was developed in 2004 as a whole of government endorsed plan for the river extending from the top of Lake Cootharaba down to the Noosa estuary. Various community consultation has occurred over the past 20 years including consultation as part of the 2004 river plan, 2008 Anchoring and Mooring Strategy, Noosa River Community Jury in 2016, two rounds of community consultation as part of the updated 2019 Noosa River Plan, and the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee between 2021 and 2023. The Noosa River Community Jury was established to deliberate on council’s role in managing anchoring and mooring, community uses and jetty leases. The Jury recommended that Noosa Council take on the responsibility of managing these on river and foreshore activities for the Noosa River. In 2017 Council commenced a review and update of the 2004 Noosa River Plan as a whole-of-catchment management approach to protecting and enhancing the environmental, economic and social assets of the river and broader catchment. Extensive consultation with internal and targeted external stakeholders was carried out throughout 2018, and a draft plan endorsed for further public consultation in November 2019. Community consultation occurred from December to January 2020/21. Public and stakeholder feedback indicated mixed support. In January 2021 council determined that there was no longer a need for council to take on extra management responsibilities for anchoring, mooring, commercial uses and commercial jetties due to Maritime Safety Queensland’s (MSQ) commitment to river management and marine safety in Noosa. Council considered that mutually beneficial outcomes can be achieved by working with and supporting MSQ which has a locally based office and dedicated officer. The Noosa River Stakeholder Committee was formed in April 2021 in partnership with MSQ and key community stakeholders and focused largely on anchoring and mooring reforms which are now being progressed by MSQ through state government approval processes. An updated Noosa River Catchment Management Plan was drafted, drawing on feedback received from consultation, scientific research, and the many partnerships, programs and projects underway.

Public trust overrides as river plan pushed back again From page 1 “Given the matter is highly contentious, the more important question is whether Cr Stockwell’s inclusion would affect public trust,“ she said. A motion put to the meeting, after Cr Stockwell’s exit, by Cr Jurisevic called for the NRCMP to be adopted with several considerations including “that the concept of a conservation park requires further public consultation with all stakeholders, including the Department of Environment and Science, and the general public before deciding whether to proceed further with the concept“. But before any opportunity arose to discuss the motion Cr Lorentson put forward a procedural motion, an action upheld by the CEO to be lawfully appropriate, to “defer consideration of the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan (NRCMP) to enable Council to undertake appropriate and full community and stakeholder consultation on the final Draft NRCMP in 2024 and following this process report back to the July 4 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 November, 2023

2024 Council with a final and fully costed NRCMP“. “The issue is not about the River Plan. It is not about a Conservation Park. The issue tonight is about public trust. Our community has felt misled,“ she said. “The Noosa community support a Noosa River Catchment Plan, in particular, they support measures aimed at excluding sediment, chemicals and human waste entering the river. Actions prioritising anchoring, mooring, liveaboards and sediment. What the community don’t support is to not be consulted on significant matters that have the potential to impact on their livelihoods and lifestyles. Namely, the last-minute inclusion of a recommendation #1 to consider establishing a Conservation Park.“ The procedural motion vote, which will defer the NRCMP to four months after Council elections, was deadlocked Crs Stewart, Finzel, Lorentson for and Crs Wilkie, Jurisevic, Wegener against, and passed with a casting vote from the chair.

Survey finds hotel support A majority of Noosa Springs residents and members support an application to build a boutique five-star hotel within the resort grounds, which comes before Noosa Council again this month, according to a recent survey conducted by GH Properties, the resort’s owner. GH says its survey showed more than 70 per cent either fully supported, or had no objection to, the proposal to build the 106-room hotel on land currently vacant, or occupied by the resort’s tennis complex. A large proportion of the remainder would be in favour if they had comfort around other issues, which GH says have already been addressed in the material considered by council staff and its experts. Tourism Noosa has written a letter of support, saying the development would generate employment, create ongoing economic activity, and provide a boutique hotel experience that is genuinely needed. Such a project would strengthen Noosa’s appeal to international and interstate visitors, and boost the region’s economy, it said. The Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry also threw its support behind the proposal, pointing out that current short-term letting accommodation in the region was becoming aged, and quality five-star serviced accommodation was very limited. GH Properties, which owns Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort, submitted an application more than two years ago to build a low-level luxury boutique hotel on its property. The hotel would be managed by a five-star international operator and integrate with existing resort facilities. Plans were changed during the assessment period in response to requests from council planners and to issues raised by members of the public. Council planning staff recommended the proposal be approved and argued in its favour at a Committee meeting in July. Ellen Guan, Director of GH Properties, urged Councillors to take notice of the present community sentiment: “We knew some con-

To test current thinking, we conducted a formal survey of more than 260 residents over the past several weeks. The results have been overwhelmingly positive … We have shared the results with councillors and passed on letters of support. “We firmly believe the proposed boutique hotel development aligns with Noosa’s strategic interests and presents numerous benefits.

It addresses the shortage of visitor accommodation rooms and, in particular, the chronic shortage of full-service luxury hotel accommodation. When combined with the existing sport and recreation facilities of Noosa Springs, the proposal provides a distinctive and enticing destination away from other congested visitor nodes within Noosa. “Many Noosa Springs’ residents and members now also recognise the substantial benefits the hotel will bring, and the survey results demonstrate that support. We proceeded with

Car park tech trial for Hastings Street in December A new carpark technology trial is set to take the hassle out of heading to Noosa’s Main Beach during the Christmas holidays. The trial, set to commence on 4 December 2023, will introduce variable message sign (VMS) boards strategically placed at key entry points to Noosa Heads. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the message boards will provide motorists with useful real-time parking information, enabling them to make informed decisions about entering the precinct. “Our primary objective with this trial is to encourage residents and visitors to consider making use of the Free Holiday Buses, and the park-and-ride Loop Bus service, rather than drive into our busiest precincts and

queue for extended periods looking for elusive parking spaces,” she said. The free Go Noosa 065 electric loop bus that operates every 15 minutes between 7am and 7pm, then every 30 minutes from 7pm to 10pm, will provide stress-free parking and transportation to the beach, shops and restaurants in the busy Noosa Heads precinct. The electric loop bus departs from the AFL ground on Weyba Road, making it a convenient and eco-friendly choice for those looking to access the beach and precinct. Following an extensive evaluation process, SenSen Networks Ltd, a leader in car park technology, has been selected to spearhead the initiative. Infrastructure Services Director Shaun

Walsh said Council was excited about the new partnership. “This collaboration with SenSen Networks Ltd promises not only to make parking more convenient but to leverage the latest technology for the betterment of our community,” he said. “Additionally, the car park technology trial will significantly enhance Council’s ability to make informed decisions about traffic management and local law enforcement in the busy Noosa Heads precinct.” For more information about the car park technology trial, the park-and-ride service, and other Noosa Shire Council initiatives, please visit noosa.qld.gov.au

Ron West nominated Milestone By Abbey Cannan Organist and former theatre owner Ronald West from Cooran has been announced as a nominee for the 2024 Senior Australian of the Year for Queensland award. Known as Ron to his friends and family, he has provided the soundtrack at the Majestic Theatre in Pomona, – the world’s oldest authentic silent movie house – for nearly 50 years. He joins a world-record-breaking shearer, the co-founder of a dinosaur museum, the most successful Australian Olympian of all time, advocates against domestic violence, and a mental health charity founder, who are all being recognised as Queensland nominees. One day in the 1980s, Ron and his wife Mandy, the then owners of the theatre, ran the movie The Son of the Sheik. Ron provided the score himself with a restored pipe organ, making the music up as he went along. Word got around and within a few months, the Majestic only showed silent films. In 2018, Ron acknowledged he played for the ‘Son of the Sheik’ movie 4128 times. His father was a projectionist, so he grew up in the industry, as did his three sons. After 30 years of preservation and restoration, Ron sold the Majestic to the Pomona community at below-market value, on an interest-free loan. He included everything inside the building at no cost. Now more than 100 years old, the Majestic is run entirely by volunteers – including organist Ron, now in his nineties. He celebrated his 90th birthday with many of the volunteers at the theatre in February this year. Preferring not to do any interviews, the humble local also won the Noosa Shire Australia Day Award in 2004 for his contributions to culture and community. The Queensland nominees are among 133

The award recipients will be announced on Wednesday 8 November 2023 in a ceremony in Brisbane, which will also be available to watch online at australianoftheyear.org.au. They will then join the other state and territory recipients as national finalists for the national awards announcement on Thursday 25 January 2024 in Canberra. National Australia Day Council chief executive officer Mark Fraser AO CVO congratulated the Queensland nominees on their recognition. “The nominees for the Queensland awards come from all walks of life and many different areas of endeavour and contribution,” Mark said. “They remind us all of what we can do when we make a decision to take action, make a stand, lend a hand or strive for a goal. They remind us we are all capable of being extraordinary.”

A much loved member of the Noosa Bridge Club, Joy Coop, turned 100 on 26 October. Joy celebrated this milestone by joining in playing bridge in the afternoon session along with regular members and quite a few visitors came along to make the afternoon special. She was presented with a commemorative card from King Charles plus a specially made card signed by all the members. Joy was born in Gympie and started playing bridge with her parents during her teenage years. She married Eric Coop in 1942 and moved to Noosa in 1984, joining the Noosa Bridge Club in 1987. Joy was also present for the first day of play in the new clubhouse on 8 July 1994. The birthday celebrations were made even more special as Joy’s long time bridge partner Jan O’Connell came along as did some Gympie Bridge Club members. She enjoyed her afternoon but was planning on an early night. In the Noosa Bridge Club, there are a few members well into their 90’s still playing regular bridge, so maybe playing bridge is the secret to longevity.

40th celebrations begin The world-famous Garmin Noosa Triathlon will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year, with a week of celebrations planned. Triathletes from across Australia and around the world are descending on the region with the popular event a way for people of all ages and abilities to be involved. The week-long celebrations are highlighted by the 40th anniversary of the Noosa Triathlon on Sunday, with thousands to take on the iconic 1.5km swim, 40km ride and 10km run. Geoff Meyer, managing director of Oceania for The IRONMAN Group, organisers of the Noosa Triathlon, said that excitement was building ahead of the anniversary event. “We’re thrilled to be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the iconic Garmin Noosa Triathlon this week,” Meyer said. “Over the years the Noosa Triathlon has become a must do event for triathletes from around the world and we can’t wait to welcome a sold-out field to Sunday’s event once again. “From its humble beginnings back in 1983 to becoming the largest Olympic-distance triathlon in the world the Noosa Triathlon has a special place in Australian sporting history and we look forward to adding another chapter to it this year,” he said. “It’s great to see so many past participants coming back to be a part of these celebrations, it’s certainly going to be a week to remember.” Queensland Tourism and Sport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the Noosa Triathlon is an important part of Queensland’s great lifestyle. “The Noosa Triathlon is one of world’s top ten triathlon experiences with a prominent place on the State’s It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “A further five years of funding support has been locked in by the Palaszczuk Government to help the iconic Noosa Triathlon continue

IN BRIEF

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Leigh’s in the run Noosa local and Sunshine Coast Volunteer of the Year (2022) Leigh McCready has ended months of speculation by announcing she will be a candidate in the upcoming Noosa Shire Council elections. Leigh, who is currently the Head of Fundraising and Partnerships at Katie Rose Cottage Hospice, will step down from the role this month to focus full time on her campaign and engage with the community. “I plan to spend the next four months meeting with and listening to the Noosa community about what they want for our hometown over the next four years. I’ll be out and about every day meeting with members of the community to understand what matters most to them,” said Leigh. Leigh juggles many balls as mum of four, business leader, and what she refers to tongue in cheek as her work as a “professional volunteer”. Leigh says: “The ‘juggle’ is real but it’s worth every minute of forgone Netflix sessions and books left unread so I can devote my time to the people and community I love.” Leigh moved to the Coast in 1988, attending Immanuel Lutheran College before moving to Brisbane for university where she completed a Bachelor of Commerce/Arts majoring in Accounting and met her husband Rob, a Woombye local and licensed builder. After a stint in Melbourne and London working in business and people management roles, she returned to Queensland to complete her Master’s degree in Human Resources and start a family. Best known for her volunteer roles, Leigh was elected to lead the community revival of the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club and it was for this work that was awarded the 2022 Volunteer of the Year award by Volunteering Sunshine Coast. In 2021, Leigh was elected to Chair the LNP Noosa Branch, the first female to hold this position in Noosa’s history. Leigh is also a Director of the Sunshine Coast 2032

Classy Helpers at The J in readiness for last year’s shopping day.

Classy Lady’s Lorraine Kenway.

Classy lady sleeps rough By Phil Jarratt If you happen to be sauntering along Gympie Terrace near The Islander this Saturday night, be careful you don’t tread on the sleeping form of a classy lady, no doubt in designer pyjamas, under a protective cardboard box. That’ll be Lorraine Kenway, sleeping rough to draw attention to the plight of Noosa’s needy families and homeless people, and rather than trip over her, stuff some cash in her donation box, or better yet, a few tins of fruit or veg for this season’s Christmas appeal. Lorraine, founder and owner of Noosaville’s Classy Lady, has been providing stylish threads for ladies of a certain age for decades now, but more importantly, from her perspective, she has used her spacious emporium of fashion and homewares as a base for helping out people in our community in need of a hand, a number far greater than most of us who live in paradise can imagine. The light globe moment for Lorraine came more than a dozen years ago when she’d been helping out with a nephew, an invalid with a young family who was struggling. She recalls: “My husband and I were driving home and I said, ‘There are more than just this family who need help.’ That week I organised a morning tea to talk about what could be done, and

that’s how we started Santa’s Classy Helpers. Now we have hundreds of ladies on our list of volunteers.” The general idea was to canvas clubs and community associations, businesses and Classy Lady customers for cash or in-kind donations to distribute among Noosa’s needy at Christmas, but Lorraine was adamant from the start: This was not to be the traditional Christmas hamper. “I wanted people in need to be able to stock their cupboards for the holiday period to take the pressure off, to allow them a stress-free family time. I’d seen first-hand what had happened to our nephew. He’d try so hard and just get a foot on the first rung of the ladder, and something would knock him back down.” It was hard, year-round work at the start, but Lorraine and her growing team got the support of local businesses and clubs and corporations like Bank of Queensland and Woolworths. More importantly, as Noosa gradually became aware of the underbelly of poverty that is a growing reality, she got the support of the community. Aid organisations like the Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul and, more recently, U-Turn, helped identify the neediest cases. Says Lorraine: “And the school chaplains are really amazing because they know the families who

need help but won’t ask for it. I think our community is becoming more aware of the situation. From my shop on Gympie Terrace I see men trudging along the river in the afternoons, looking for somewhere quiet to camp, and a few older women too. But our main focus is on the families and that’s not so visible. They might be in some kind of housing or in tents somewhere out of sight and mind, but there are a lot of them out there and in need, which is why this year we’ll be visiting Yandina caravan park and Pomona Showground.” When Noosa Today reported on Lorraine and the Classy Helpers in 2021, it was at the height of the Covid pandemic, fundraising had been difficult all year, but “Lorraine and her team managed to pull off a minor miracle to bring together a virtual shop full of toys, food and toiletries to make Christmas a wonderful time for about 300 Noosa families in need”. Last year it was almost 400. This year it’s already past that and still growing. Lorraine has tears in her eyes as she tells me: “Just yesterday I received 129 families in one go. I was given their details so that they can be given an invitation for the day at The J.” The supervised shopping day at The J – this year on Tuesday 5 December – is run with military precision. Woolworths at Noosa Village provides the shopping trolleys, Noosa-Tewan-

tin Lions Club runs the sausage sizzle and helps the traffic flow as around 25 registered families per half hour are helped up and down the aisles to fill their trolleys with everything from homewares to toys and fresh fruit and veggies up to the value of $1000, depending on the size of the family. The total cost of this heart-warming gesture that means so much to people who have almost nothing is heading north to $500,000, and is only made possible by the broad community. Says Lorraine: “Just recently Reed and Co, the real estate people held a lunch and raised $11,500 in an afternoon. [Reported in NT 27 October.] That alone allows a dozen families to enjoy Christmas.” Back at Classy Lady on Gympie Terrace, Lorraine Kenway is preparing her cardboard covering for Saturday night. She’s only slept on the footpath in front of her shop once before, several years ago, but last year she joined the St Vinnies sleepout on Main Beach with many others. She says: “That was wonderful, being with so many generous spirits, but this year I want to feel what it’s like for people who just curl up alone night after night because they have no other option.” Donations to Santa’s Classy helpers drive can be made at Classy Lady or the Bank of Queensland.

Oyster reefs glowing report By Phil Jarratt A year since a network of seeded oyster gardens were deployed in the Noosa River, the oyster reefs’ first audit has given a thumbs up for the future of the ambitious river improvement program. In November last year the Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) distributed recycled baskets, seeded with juvenile rock oysters on clean oyster shell provided by Noosa restaurants, to a volunteer network of oyster gardeners all around the Noosa River – upstream toward Noosa North Shore ferry, along the North Shore, Tewantin, around the shores of the lower estuary, in Weyba Creek and within Noosa Waters. Says NICA’s Richard Howard: “Our oyster gardeners maintained and monitored the gardens, with our assistance, over the last 10 months, as the oysters developed into adults ready to be deployed on the Huon Mundy reefs to help kickstart ecosystem recovery. It wasn’t uncommon to see three generations of one family on the end of jetties tending to their gardens over this time.” Last week NICA brought in all those oyster gardens to Tewantin where teams of volunteers, guided by The Nature Conservancy, inspected, weighed, photographed and sorted them, carefully removing the adult rock oysters ready for the reefs. As Richard told Noosa Today: “The work was slow, not least because of the streams of passers-by curious about the activity, and a school group providing a helping hand as part of their marine biology course. But it was very satisfying to see the good growth of the seeded rock oysters along with the natural recruitment of a myriad of associated species also developing within the oyster gardens – a window on the aquatic biodiversity present in our river, and of the ‘reef building’ role of the rock oysters. “The audit identified numerous other species of oysters, as well as mussels, crabs, prawns, fish, ascidians, molluscs, nudibranchs and crinoids to name just a few within the baskets – all carefully extracted and released back into the river. The feather star, decorator crab, cowries and sea urchins were pleasant surprises, the pistol shrimps and eastern fortescue fish treated with due care.

Volunteers from NICA working alongside The Nature Conservancy to inspect, monitor and extract adult oysters (tub in foreground) from oyster gardens.

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie and Craig Bohm from TNC inspecting clean recycled oyster shell ready for the next cycle. The adult oysters extracted from the gardens were carefully established on the Huon Mundy reef matrix by hand, with the remaining juvenile rock oysters placed back into the oyster gardens and set back into the river for further growth and availability as needed to help augment the oyster restoration process.

Adult oysters extracted from the oyster gardens ready to be deployed on the Huon Mundy reefs to help kickstart ecosystem recovery.

Says Richard: “We look forward to taking our oyster gardeners on a tour of the Huon Mundy reefs via the Tread Lightly events program, to demonstrate their hard work and the progress of the ecosystem recovery around the reefs. NICA thanks the dozens of oyster gardeners and others who participated in the program to date for all their hard work, along with numer-

ous commercial businesses, resorts, schools and aligned community organisations. It is also a real privilege for a volunteer community organisation like ours to work alongside The Nature Conservancy in this endeavour, with the valued support of the Thomas Foundation, Noosa Shire Council and the Australian Government.”

Remember to remember this 11 November The Coolum Peregian RSL Sub Branch invites the local community to attend its Remembrance Day service at 1906 David Low Way, Coolum Beach at 10.45am on Saturday 11 November 2023. The commemorative service will include a Formal Service with local Airforce Cadets and Students from Coolum Beach State High School, Coolum Beach State Primary School, Peregian Springs State Primary School participating in the Service, Government Dignitaries, and many local people of importance in

attendance, who will recite the Ode, wreath laying and an after-service lunch. Remembrance Day is a day for the community to acknowledge all service personnel who died while serving, including in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. Coolum Peregian RSL Sub Branch President Peter Lloyd encouraged the community to Remember to Remember on 11 November to honour those who gave their lives in service to their country. the freedoms they fought so hard to pro-

tect,” Mr Lloyd said. “We invite and encourage locals to gather at our commemorative service at 10.45 am on November 11, which will give our community the opportunity to mark this meaningful occasion and pay their respects.” This year, everyone is encouraged to take part in Remembrance Day either in person or virtually, with RSL Queensland’s official state commemoration at Brisbane’s Anzac Square to be live streamed on the RSL Queensland Facebook page for those that cannot attend a

service in person. In memory of those who served and sacrificed for our nation, the community is encouraged to wear a red poppy on Remembrance Day. “No matter how you choose to commemorate on the day, all we really ask is that you Remember to Remember,” Mr Lloyd said.

New disaster plan boost Mayor Clare Stewart says Noosa is in a strong position to weather the bushfire and storm season, but still there’s no room for complacency. “The fires happening in south-east Queensland currently are a frightening reminder of the importance of being prepared and having a bushfire survival plan to keep your loved ones safe,” Cr Stewart said. With fires impacting parts of Queensland currently, a fire ban is now in place for Noosa, and residents are urged to download a copy of Council’s Emergency Action Guide from disaster.noosa.qld.gov.au “A resilient community is a prepared community and while we can’t control Mother Nature, we can certainly all prepare as best we can – it starts at home with people preparing their properties to lower their own risk,” she said. Council has adopted a refreshed Local Disaster Management Plan, updated with input from local emergency services to ensure it aligns with the latest disaster management advice. The Mayor said Council had invested heavily over the past few years to mitigate bushfire risk and boost the community’s disaster resilience. “We are really well prepared if and when disaster strikes - we have a strong plan, a strong team and strong Local Disaster Management Group, and our community can take comfort in that. “QFES is the lead agency in the event of bushfires, but as a Council we can certainly take steps to mitigate risk and that’s what we’ve been doing. “We are in a far stronger position now than we were four years ago with more resources, more mitigation through controlled burns, and our trial Firetech program which is testing technology to detect, monitor and fight fires,” Cr Stewart said.

A fire ban is now in place for Noosa. “Over the past two years we’ve conducted controlled burns across more than 400 hectares of bushland to slow the potential spread of bushfires. “We have a dedicated in-house fire officer and 16 of our staff now have nationally accredited fire training.” Council staff have held fire resilience workshops across the shire to help residents be prepared, and continue to visit aged care homes and schools along with local emergency services personnel to spread the ‘get ready’ fire

safety message. “These sessions are so powerful - the kids go home and tell their parents what they’ve learned about fire safety, and having the support of emergency services personnel at those sessions is so valuable as it encourages the kids to ask questions and learn,” Cr Stewart said. All councils are required under the Act to have a Disaster Management Plan. Council’s updated plan draws on new demographic data from the latest census and changing climate risk profiles.

“Learnings from recent floods, fires and the pandemic have also helped inform the updated plan,” Council’s Acting Infrastructure Services Director Shaun Walsh said. Mr Walsh urged residents to visit Council’s online Disaster Dashboard during disasters for information such as road closures, power outages and weather updates. “From the dashboard residents can also sign up to Noosa Alert to receive disaster notifications,” he said.

Rebecca shines at awards Dedication to the success of the team and business has seen a Noosa real estate identity take out Agency Support Person of the Year at the 2023 REIQ Awards for Excellence. Rebecca Ali-Mumtaz has been the go-to person at Hinternoosa since 2019. It has been a remarkable display of professional excellence from Rebecca. Reliability and focus are just two of the qualities she has shown in dealings with the public. With a diverse administration skillset that spans from agent support to marketing, Rebecca was nominated for her integral role in the Hinternoosa rebrand and merge this year. Her production of the Noosa Country Style magazine and dedication to the success of the team and business is also testament to her ability. The prestigious REIQ Awards for Excellence ceremony saw just under 1000 attendees from the real estate industry gather at The Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday night to celebrate the best in the business. Antonia Mercorella, CEO of the Real Estate Institute Of Queensland (REIQ), highlighted the competitive nature of this year’s awards, with more than 350 submissions received. The high calibre of finalists made Rebecca’s win even more meaningful, especially being the sole recipient from a Sunshine Coast agency in these statewide awards.

2023 REIQ Agency Support Person of the Year Rebecca Ali-Mumtaz of Hinternoosa.

Rebecca’s key role at Hinternoosa involves marketing and sales support administration, a position she has excelled in since joining the team. Hinternoosa’s director and principal Sirah Robb expressed immense pride and joy at the win. “The entire team couldn’t be happier or prouder. “Rebecca’s achievements this last year have gone above and beyond, particularly with her contributions to our rebrand, super team merge, and enhancing our lifestyle magazine

Real Estate and Hinternoosa, led to the creation of a new-look Hinternoosa super team, with Rebecca playing a pivotal role in the rebrand. The accolade is well-earned recognition of Rebecca’s reliability, forward-thinking, and exceptional service which is respected by clients, professional service providers, and colleagues alike. Her responsiveness, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to great outcomes not only set a high benchmark for administrative excellence, but also reflect the genuine passion and expertise synonymous with the Hinternoosa team in serving the local community.

Since its inception in 1989, Hinternoosa has seen a seamless transition of leadership from the Browns and Kess Prior to Sirah and John Robb in 2018, who were approached off the back of successfully growing their competing agency, Wythes Real Estate. The April 2023 merge and rebrand of Wythes

Garden party fun for Santa’s classy little helpers Santa’s Classy Helpers recently held a fabulous fund raising Garden Party at the award winning Stringybark Cottage Gardens courtesy of owner Cheryl, where we raised over $3000 which will help support local disadvantaged families at Christmas.

Artworks were on display around the fabulous gardens, with artist Robyn Beeston creating a new piece of artwork during the afternoon. The highly entertaining duo, Harvest, performed as everyone tucked into their very tasty afternoon tea, and a local choir ser-

enaded at the end of the afternoon. It was a wonderfully relaxed afternoon. A raffle and plant sales boosted the fund raising and all money raised will go towards helping at least 400 families again this year, with over 1000 children. The Garden Party was supported by

local businesses Heads of Noosa, Flying West and Fruitobox. Our next fundraiser is a Classy Lady Fashion Show on 15th November being held in Tinbeerwah. For more details pop into Classy Lady, 1/199 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.

Electrified homes Nestled amid Queensland’s paradisiacal landscapes, Noosa, renowned for its pristine beaches and vibrant street life, is making waves in another domain – sustainable living. A surge in electrified homes is signalling a new era, illustrating Noosa’s commitment to the environment. Home electrification, when paired with renewable energy, paves the way for a future less dependent on fossil fuels. While global communities debate over sustainability measures, Noosa’s residents are leading by example. The benefits are manifold: Eco-friendly Footprint Embracing electric homes significantly diminishes greenhouse gas emissions. As Noosa transitions away from gas and fossil fuels, it upholds its commitment to safeguarding its picturesque environment. Economic Advantage Modern electric appliances, renowned for their energy-saving attributes, are not only efficient but also cost-effective in the long run. With the gradual reduction in electricity prices, courtesy of renewable energy, homeowners are poised for substantial savings. Safety First Electrified homes in Noosa are devoid of risks associated with gas leaks. A gas-free home is a safe haven, ensuring peace of mind for its residents. Stable Energy Pricing Electricity prices, especially when sourced from renewables, remain relatively constant, offering predictability in monthly expenditures. Smart Home Integration Electric homes easily assimilate smart technologies. From automated thermostats to in-

novative energy analytics, the future of home management is exciting and efficient. Low Maintenance Electric appliances’ durability, coupled with fewer moving parts, translates to reduced maintenance and longevity. Enhanced Air Quality By eliminating in-house combustion processes, there’s a marked improvement in indoor air quality, contributing to overall well-being. Economic Stimulus The move towards electrification creates job opportunities in Noosa, fortifying its local economy. Skilled electricians and renewable energy experts are in high demand, further boosting Noosa’s stature as a sustainable living hub. Noosa’s venture into home electrification, proudly supported by Noosa Council, stands as a testament to its commitment to a sustainable future. With council backing, Noosa is not just dreaming of retaining the natural lifestyle we all came to enjoy. It is actively preserving it for future generations.

Avoiding total ruin Since 1996, successive reports on the state of our environment have warned that we face serious problems. The most recent report found that the environment is in poor condition and deteriorating as a result of increasing pressures from population growth, climate change, habitat loss, pollution and resource extraction. It warned of possible dramatic impacts on our health and living standards. The essential first steps are protecting our local biota and taking a responsible role in helping to stabilise the global climate. Our situation is now critical and there is no time to lose. Ian Lowe AO FTSE is an emeritus professor in the School of Environment and Science at Griffith University. Among many advisory roles, he chaired the group that prepared the first independent national report on the state of the environment. He has contributed to a wide range of local, national and global reports on environmental issues. Ian’s talk is based on his latest book, Australia on the Brink: Avoiding Environmental Ruin, in Monash University Publishing’s series In the National Interest and it is in everyone’s interest to come along and learn what we can do to avoid environmental ruin from this highly regarded speaker. This is the last Friday Forum for the year and everyone is welcome at the NPA Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville. The forum starts at 10:30am

Community angst over Tri Once again as the Noosa Tri approaches community angst is obvious with graffiti on road closure signage. It is high time that businesses who are unable to trade due to Council enforced road closures, be compensated out of the Tri coffers. Businesses should submit to the Council their usual Sat/Sun intake figures and have this reimbursed immediately. Judy Davies, Noosaville

Paralysed on plan I don’t think anyone is questioning the fact that it is indeed the Mayor’s right and job to cast a deciding vote. She did her job and with the other two ladies mastered a winning plan. I think what disappoints people is the fact the River Management Plan has been in the pipeline for years, it has had many incarnations and much public consultation. In fact I believe it was supported unanimously until recently. My disappointment is that the Conservation Park clause (which seems to have been the sticking point) was not withdrawn for further discussion and the RMP passed. This Council is paralysed, it’s taking far too long to make important decisions. Our river now waits for at least another nine months, probably a lot longer if past history tells us anything, before a management plan can be put in place. That’s a loss for our river and therefore a loss for residents. Fiona Jacobs, Sunrise Beach

Do as I say not as I do Discussing the results of the The Voice Referendum with a friend over the phone we both were in agreement that obviously maybe a lot of immigrants didn’t understand what it was really all about. Through lack of being able to speak or read English. Even though there were facilities to help them in their own dialects . We also were in agreement a lot of immigrants arrive here and can’t speak or read the English languages. In fact some of the elderly

never learn. Surely it should be mandatory to have some of the basic understanding and ability to have a conversation with Australians. After more debate and a few accusations of some taking Australia for granted, we had to finish the debate as neither of us, (as also being immigrants) could speak one word of the Aboriginal or the First Nations Dialects. A case of “Do as I say not as I do.“ Ernest Wright, Tewantin

No means No It’s sad but not unexpected to see some segments of Noosa, the media, nameless indigenous activists, and a minority of Australians come to terms with the fact that No really does mean No.

The Yes campaign for a Voice enshrined in the Constitution suffered a resounding defeat in all six states but that does not mean we are a racist country, or that we were swayed by “misinformation,“ or that we don’t want assistance to actually reach outback communities where it is needed. But we were not prepared to hand Prime MInister Anthony Albanese a blank cheque for a poorly defined and explained measure which he claimed was “only a small change“ on the basis of “it’s the right thing to do“ when the activists were calling for “treaty, truth and reparations“. If the Yes supporters were serious about helping marginalised communities, they would back moves by Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Jacinta Price for an inquiry into where the many billions of dollars poured into numerous indigenous welfare agencies and land councils actually end up, as obviously

only a trickle pours out the other end. They would also back her moves for a Royal Commission into sexual abuse of indigenous children - an emotional issue of which she has had real lived experience. The Referendum is now done and dusted with up to $450 million of taxpayers dollars down the drain, along with another $100 million of virtue signalling corporate dollars, all of which could have gone a long way to improving educational and medical facilities still sadly lacking in the outback. Finally, perhaps Noosa Today could check the meaning of “The Pub Test“ after the longwinded rambling feature published on October 27. A small group of lefties crying over their beers in the wake of the resounding defeat just wouldn’t pass any real pub test. John Mikkelsen, Noosa

Divine casting: Charles Edwards and Rebecca Gibney in Under the Vines.

UNDER THE VINES ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

The dynamite charms of Rebecca Gibney (Packed to the Rafters) and Charles Edwards (The Crown) cultivate this quirky and fail-safe comedy of characters about suddenly running an inherited winery in New Zealand, with mixed results. While the characters often tread a predictable path, it’s the free-flowing humour that hooks you in. As season two kicks off, it’s no surprise that season three of this idyllic ensemble comedy is already in production. With the promise of romance between Daisy (Gibney) and Louis (Edwards) always dangling but yet to ripen, he makes another gallant attempt to save his flailing marriage to Simone (Sara Wiseman, A Place to Call Home).

TREASURES OF INDIA WITH BETTANY HUGHES SBS, Sunday, 7.30pm

THE FUTURE WITH HANNAH FRY SBS Viceland, Saturday, 6.40pm

MILLION DOLLAR MURDERS Nine, Monday, 9.05pm

British mathematician Hannah Fry (pictured) has been tapping into her considerable nous and curiosity to predict the future in this fascinating series. It has been a compelling, fun and uplifting ride as the forwardthinking millennial investigated and interrogated IT specialists, start-up whizzes, neuroscientists and general geniuses to open up our minds about the ambitious and encouraging possibilities. In tonight’s season final, Fry turns her keen attention to the environment. The planet’s natural landscape and ecosystem may be in trouble, but a revolutionary new conservation concept offers hope. Put on your metaphorical hiking boots for this expansive trip from Japan’s Fukushima to California.

Crime shows and podcasts are a wildly popular genre. From unnerving crime scene photos to witness testimonies and newly discovered evidence, they offer a fascinating, macabre look at the very dark side of human nature. It’s compelling to play armchair detective, putting together the pieces of the puzzling crime to perhaps even solve it. In this cold-case series, retired detective Deborah Wallace is unravelling clues to some of Australia’s most baffling unsolved murders, with the backing of local police, in an effort to finally bring closure and put these cases to bed. Tonight, it’s the case of 26-year-old new mother Lynette White, who was tragically murdered in her Coogee apartment back in 1973.

Across two bounteous episodes, embellished with some of India’s most fascinating and iconic places, historian Bettany Hughes (pictured) finds both wisdom and stunning scenery in this heaving country. It’s a fleeting but invigorating trip worth taking from the comfort of the couch. “It’s not just the what and the how, but the why,” explains Hughes. “I’m asking: “Why do these beautiful places matter?”’ Hughes chats to locals and historians in her quest to see and understand India’s culture and history. It’s an unexpectedly emotional experience in the holy city of Varanasi and the Taj Mahal.

In 2007, the Noosa Shire was the first region in Queensland to be designated with Biosphere Reserve status, recognising decades of our community working together to live sustainably, in harmony with nature. “It’s the Noosa community’s unwavering commitment to environmental protection that lies at the heart of our prosperity and desirable lifestyle,” said Ms Berkin. Our region is special in that we now have three adjoining sites, with neighbouring Great Sandy Biosphere Reserve (Burnett region) to our north, and Sunshine Coast Biosphere Reserve to our south. As part of a global network of 738 sites across 134 countries under the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves and the World Network of Island and Coastal Biosphere Reserves (WNICBR), the network provides a

platform to share knowledge and develop approaches to achieving the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Just recently, the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation had the privilege of meeting with other coastal and island nations at the 11th Meeting of the WNICBR on Butchulla Country at K’gari. It was an opportunity for Noosa to share our learnings and future focuses, collaborate with peers and hear how other biosphere reserves are approaching issues such as climate, protecting threatened species and working more closely with Traditional Owners. “To celebrate Noosa’s commitment to conservation and sustainable living, the Foundation established the Noosa Biosphere Awards to recognise those championing environment and sustainability practices within the Noosa Biosphere.

“Now in its third year, we will be announcing this year’s finalists soon with winners presented at a special event on 30 November,” said Ms Berkin. Winners will be announced at the Noosa Biosphere Awards ceremony on Thursday 30 November, sponsored by Maravista Farm – a picturesque 250 hectare working macadamia farm in the Noosa Hinterland that grows organic and heirloom produce for the Ogilvie Group venues (Aromas Noosa, Rickys and Locale Noosa). Maravista Farm enables the restaurants to access the freshest possible local produce as well as food in different stages of the growth cycle. The Awards event will be held at the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club and tickets are available for $25 at noosabiosphere.org. au/awards.

On 3 November, Noosa Shire will recognise its UNESCO status as part of the International Day for Biosphere Reserves. “This is a significant day for biosphere reserves around the world,” said Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation’s Chair, Fiona Berkin. “Today, communities around the globe celebrate their commitment to sustainability and living in harmony with their natural environment,” she said. The International Day for Biosphere Reserves is an invitation to take inspiration from these regions to implement genuine sustainable development practices everywhere, with full respect for both nature and the living world. Year on year, the need for tackling environmental issues becomes more urgent as challenges such as climate change, habitat loss and the loss of biodiversity near a tipping point. UNESCO states that “our relationship with nature and other living beings needs a radical rethink in order to address these issues – we need to design and create a truly shared world.” Biosphere reserves around the world have shown that it is possible to establish a sustainable and harmonious relationship with nature. A biosphere reserve is an area declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as having achieved a notable balance between environment and sustainable human development. These sites of excellence demonstrate local solutions to global challenges by involving local communities and all interested stakeholders in planning and management of three main functions: nature conservation; scientific research and learning; and sustainable economic development that is socio-culturally and environmentally sustainable.

no one’s been able to land the beast. Until hopefully tonight. The growth of the current river plan started again in 2017 when Council reviewed and up-

dated the 2004 Noosa River Plan, taking a more comprehensive whole-of-catchment management approach to protecting and balancing the environmental, economic, and social interests of the river. After more consultation with internal and community consultation in 2018, it grew again into an updated version of the draft plan. That version was endorsed for feedback in November 2019 and a second round of community consultation occurred from December to January 2019 and 2020. Again, new ideas were added and it grew further. From April 2021 to March 2023 the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee advised Council and Maritime Services Queensland on river priorities. The plan is so broad they wisely focused on getting action on anchoring and mooring. More recent targeted stakeholder engagement was conducted and more ideas, including “consideration of” a conservation park, were added. When the new ideas were presented to councillors in June this year, all expressed support. That updated version of the Noosa River Plan went to council last month, where it was deferred for a month to allow for further feedback. Another list of changes three pages long was recommended. With every consultation, the plan takes on a new form. We’re caught in an absurd, endless, bureaucratic cycle of more consultation on new versions borne of consultation. We’ve been playing this fish for years as it grows bigger and bigger and gets harder to land. It’s time to finally reel this thing in. That’s why this latest plan had consultation built into it for ideas like the conservation park. The Conservation Park was seen as a potential means of giving Noosa Council a voice at the table with State Government agencieswho would remain the prime authorities- to help ensure all parties remained resourced and focused. This plan, including public consultation for a conservation park, gives us all the best chance of ensuring we hand down a river to our children that is clean, uncluttered, safe and teeming with fish and aquatic life, for all users. Prior to the last election in 2020, we were in exactly this same position. We’re still splashing about with no decision. Let’s not let this ever-growing beast run again and get away on us for another four years. Let’s land it. Together. Tonight. (But, of course, we didn’t. It eluded us all, again) The views expressed in this article are those of Cr Frank Wilkie, a former journalist and teacher, and not necessarily those of Noosa Council.

“Putting off an easy thing makes it hard and putting off a hard one makes it impossible.” -- George H Lorimer (legendary editor of The Saturday Evening Post) A move for Noosa council to conduct full community consultation on a Conservation Park, as part of an endorsed Noosa River Plan, has been deferred until after the March 2024 election. The debate followed false claims and fears a Conservation Park would be established without community consultation, and that Noosa council wanted to ban fishing and boating on the river. The decision to remove one councillor due to a declarable conflict of interest was pivotal in the deferral, which required a casting vote from the Mayor, standard practice when deadlocks occur in the seven-member council. The council report on community feedback gained after another deferral motion in September clarified that broad community consultation on a conservation park, to apply to the existing Fish Habitat Areas, was part of the Noosa River Plan. It also stated boating and commercial and recreational fishing were permitted in a conservation park, and council had no plans to remove petrol and diesel fuelled boats from the river. The Council also deferred approving the River Plan prior to the March 2020 election. While I supported a motion for council to conduct full community consultation on the pros and cons of a Conservation Park and endorse the Noosa River Plan, I accept and respect the decision of council to defer doing this till after the March 2024 election and by July 2024. The following paragraphs are extracted from notes I made prior to speaking at Council’s Ordinary Meeting of 26 October against the motion to defer again: In late 1934 Howard Parkyn and Alec Gibson landed a 454lb (206kg) groper at Tewantin, reportedly where the old baths used to be near the Marina. According to a newspaper report dated 5 December 1934, it took Howard and Alec over half an hour to land the fish, which was seven foot (2.13m) long and smashed the previous record of a 300lb groper caught 12 years previously by the Massouds. Before it was caught, there’d been reports of a very large fish in the vicinity, but no one knew exactly what it was. That was until Howard and Alec hooked it, wrestled with it and landed it. For years the Noosa River Plan has been out there lurking, surfacing now and then. Depending on our individual interests and angles, there have been different views on what it is. With each passing year, it grows bigger and bigger, fed by continual feedback gathered from community and stakeholder consultation.

OPINION NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

On The Soapbox Councillor Amelia Lorentson

It’s a matter of public trust At Thursday’s Ordinary meeting, I moved a procedural motion, ‘That council defer consideration of the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan (NRCMP) to enable council to undertake appropriate and full community and stakeholder consultation on the final draft NRCMP in 2024 and following this process report back to the July 2024 council with a final and fully costed NRCMP’. It was successful. This is what I said at the Ordinary meeting: “Tonight, the issue is not about the River Plan. It is not about a Conservation Park. The issue tonight is about public trust. Our community has felt misled. The Noosa community support a Noosa River Catchment Plan, in particular, they support measures aimed at excluding sediment, chemicals and human waste entering the river. Actions prioritising anchoring, mooring, liveaboards and sediment. What the community don’t support is to not be consulted on significant matters that have the potential to impact on their livelihoods and lifestyles. Namely, the last- minute inclusion of a recommendation #1 to ‘consider establishing a Conservation Park’. We have heard from the General Manager of the Boating Industry Association, the chair of the Australian Fishing Trade Association, both who have expressed that they are troubled by the inclusion of this Conservation Park concept as it was never part of the overall consultation that has been in play for years, and ‘worse still, there is little detail of what it would mean’.

Noosa councillor Amelia Lorentson. “This seems to be an afterthought – a last minute inclusion which has now put at risk the entire plan which goes back to 2019.” We have heard also from our community and our stakeholders. It is clear from the number of people here this evening, by the 2,600 signatures presented tonight opposing the Plan and by the 100’s and 100s of emails- both for and against the River Plan, the social media posts, newspaper articles and tv news reports that there is widespread confusion, misinfor-

mation and distrust in Council. There has been insufficient time and process allocated for the community to fully understand what the impacts of a Conservation Park might be. There has been no substantial or acceptable explanation to the community as to why a significant change, that is, the inclusion of ‘consideration of a Conservation Park’ was made two (2) months ago, without broad and appropriate consultation. And why other models such as a River Trust were not considered, evaluated, costed and presented? How did we go straight to a Conservation Park status recommendation? It is therefore not reasonable nor right to be pushing through a River Plan just before an election that is causing undue stress and confusion in the community and creating distrust in Council. This does not reflect meaningful community engagement. It simply destroys the public’s confidence in the integrity of our Council. By deferring this matter to next year, we lose nothing. Funding is not at risk. And our river is not at risk. I would like to remind Councillors that the Noosa River already has some of the most restrictive State protections by way of Fish Habitat Areas (FHA) and declared under Qld’s Fisheries Act 1994. Under this State legislation FHA are already

protected from physical disturbances associated with coastal developments. The purpose of this State legislation aims to ensure that fishing in the future is protected by protecting fish habitats. Further, there is no authorisation needed under State legislation to access a declared FHA for community uses. The State legislation is a fair and equitable management approach for all stakeholdersrecreational, traditional, commercial fishing and boating activities are allowed. So, the question on everyone’s mind is, why are we trying to change that? Councillors, the importance of public trust and public participation in decision-making and the importance of maintaining the public’s confidence in the integrity of our Council should be the only basis of the decision before us. A declaration regarding the potential of a Conservation Park should not occur without full community consultation. Creating a conservation park to be managed solely by Council is a significant undertaking and cannot occur without full community consultation and costing. Without detailed community briefing and participation, and a majority community buyin, it should not progress… We lose nothing by deferring. We lose a lot by endorsing this plan tonight.” (Please note this is my personal opinion and does not represent the position of Council.)

OPINION

On The Soapbox Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

Plan deferral explained At Council’s October Ordinary Meeting, after significant community outcry, Council resolved to defer the finalisation of the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan to allow for further community consultation. The vote was split 3 to 3, so as Mayor I was required to exercise a casting vote. As with any controversial issue, some will be satisfied and others dissatisfied with the outcome. To be candid and transparent with our community, I’d like to explain the Council process and decision. Council staff first publicly tabled the most recent version of Noosa River Catchment Management Plan (aka the Noosa River Plan) at the September General Committee meeting. The newly revised version recommended a Conservation Park be considered for already defined Fish Habitat Areas, a concept which had not been previously seen by the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee, other river stakeholders or the community. The standard practice after community feedback is for council staff to amend documents in response, but it is unusual for a whole new concept to be added. On the basis of significant community objections, after a motion moved by Councillor Amelia Lorentson, Council resolved to defer debate until the October Ordinary Meeting, in order to allow for targeted stakeholder consultation about the Conservation Park concept and briefing of councillors. Throughout this time there was a significant outcry with

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart. 100s of emails sent to councillors. Before the October Ordinary Meeting, staff tabled the public agenda with recommendations about how the River Plan might be further amended to address community concerns, while keeping the concept of a Conservation Park in place. Stakeholder groups requested Cr Amelia Lorentson and myself to table petitions signed respectively by 207 plus people and 2400 people on their behalf and, as is the normal courtesy at Noosa Council, we agreed.

What happened next: Under Local Government legislation, councillors are required to declare any conflicts of interest. Councillors who declare may choose either to voluntarily leave the room or ask the other councillors to vote to allow them to remain. This requires a conscience vote and is something we all, no doubt, take very seriously. In this case, one of the councillors declared several conflicts and asked to remain in the room. The vote was a 3 to 3 tie. As Chairperson, I was obliged under Council Standing Orders to exercise a casting

vote. This resulted in the councillor being requested to leave the room for the duration of the debate. It is important to note that throughout this term of council, councillors with relevant conflicts of interest have either voluntarily excluded themselves from debates or asked their fellow councillors to vote to allow them to stay. At times the vote outcome has been to require the councillor to leave the room. This is a legislatively required process and councillors are obliged to make these tough decisions under the Councillor Code of Conduct. This left six councillors including myself to debate the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan. Given the significant community angst expressed, Cr Amelia Lorentson moved a motion, which I seconded, to defer consideration of the River Plan to July 2024 to allow for a full consultation process and full costing of proposed River Plan initiatives. This again saw a 3 to 3 tied vote - Councillors Finzel, Lorentson and Stewart in favour and Councillors Jurisivec, Wegner and Wilkie against. Again I was duty bound to make a casting vote. And so that motion won and the Council resolution stands. I am committed to being responsive to community concerns and feedback. Our job as elected representatives is to listen to the voices of our community. In this instance, we needed to listen to thousands of voices, all crying out for a deferment. We did. These are my views and not necessarily those of Noosa Council.

When three University of Sunshine Coast lecturers undertook an exchange program in Germany they learnt as much as they taught. ERLE LEVEY was intrigued by the differences in perception and reality.

Lessons to be learned Reality can be so different to perceptions and expectations. When three lecturers from the University of the Sunshine Coast visited Germany this year on an exchange program, it wasn’t simply a case of teaching but a chance to learn. Not just about the education system but the students, the staff and the country. The beauty of exchange programs was there for all to see ... perceptions and stereotypes were smashed. German precision - especially in engineering - is still evident. However, instead of manicured lawns in the streets of the towns and the university campus at Remagen, there were wildflowers and long grass to attract biodiversity as well as a rambling effect. A lot of the engineering and industrial manufacturing, for which Germany is worldrecognised, is now done offshore. Yet, Germany has done the heavy lifting when it comes to refugees from war-torn areas such as the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia. It has emerged as a significant partner for Australia in terms of world affairs, trade, cultural and defence alliances. While we were there, Australia had delegations in regard to climate change and the environment, with Europe as a trading partner, and in terms of global alliances. Germany is now one of the dominant economies in Europe, but also plays a significant role in ensuring all European Union countries are treated fairly. There are significant similarities between Australia and Germany in terms of the importance of tourism to their economies. It is one of the G7 nations - a group dedicated to solving global issues in areas of trade, security, economics and climate change - yet the whole of Germany fits into half the size of New South Wales. There was a world conference on climate change in Bonn one weekend and we met with First Nation American Indian Michael Lane and the delegation from the West African nation of Gambia, headed by African Youth Commission member Aisha Secka. This introduction to Germany served us well for the university exchange program. While the people in the Rhine and Ahr Valley region generally appreciated their privacy, they were also very warm and embracing. RheinAhr Campus in Remagen was the host university for the lecturers who are recipients of the Erasmus Teaching Scholarship Program. The lecturers - Mandie Miller, Sandie Elsom and Melissa Innes - were looking to increase the learning capability of students, swap teaching ideas and encourage greater cultural links between the two partner universities. The classes at the university campus, which we attended, were often made up of 30 percent of students with German-born parents and others from many of the 40 partner universities RheinAhr was involved with. The children of refugees made up a significant part of the student body - coming from the Caucasus region of Asia, such as Georgia, Afghanistan and Azerbaijan, Albania in the Middle East, along with Iran, Syria, Turkey, and African countries such as Morocco. There were also students and lecturers from Nepal, from Italy and the Pacific areas, including Japan, and Korea … from the US and Canada. It was a true melting pot. For Mandie Miller, an adjunct lecturer in outdoor environmental education, it was a matter of being part of the community rather than just a tourist. “Being trusted with people’s personal experiences and emotions - it’s been fabulous,’’ Mandie said. “I loved the opportunity to work with students in this multi-cultural experience. “The classes were based on discussions to improve their English, and provided the opportunity to deconstruct cultural biases. It was a chance to hear and learn from those whose cultures are less commonly represented and understood. 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 November, 2023

Being trusted with people’s personal experiences and emotions - it’s been fabulous. I loved the opportunity to work with students in this multicultural experience.” “Discussions and assessments encouraged conversations about the student’s cultural practices and history, and developing an understanding of the perspectives and practices of their classmates from other ethnicities and religions. “One of the most exciting and rewarding parts of the experience was observing students as they developed confidence in their spoken English and the ability to speak publicly in the safe environment of the tutorial room. “This is a challenge, especially for girls of some ethnicities and religions. Mandie’s favourite moment was when one particular girl on a semester exchange, when interrupted by a fellow student, said, “Please do not interrupt. I am speaking now.’’ This was not the traditional way for a young woman from her culture to speak and instead, because of the exchange experience, she emerged as a confident member of an intercultural environment. Another class required students to research a cultural behaviour or tradition from their own perspective and then interview a person to obtain another cultural perspective. Mandie was interviewed on Australian marriage practices. “The interview enabled me to reflect on marriage from both legal and traditional viewpoints, as I explained the legalisation of same sex marriage and the protections and acceptance of divorce. “My interviewer was challenged by these concepts and explained the differences in her own culture’s attitudes. “These provided insights into another culture at a very human level.

“Conversations with Ukrainian students, some with families living in the war zones, resulted in a connection and understanding far beyond what is possible by reading and watching the news. “The presentations from the other staff at international week also provided insights into other cultures with which I am not familiar. “The exchange experience is also a very social time with colleagues, and the comfortable and friendly environment provided the opportunity to talk in depth without the usual interruptions.’’ Apart from cycling along the Rhine River and the wine-growing areas for which the region is known, Mandie and husband Ian undertook canoeing on the many rivers and waterways for which Germany is renowned. Melissa Innes, associate lecturer in management and human resources in the school of business and creative industries, saw the opportunity to improve communication awareness between students and lecturers. Teaching in a regional university was an eye-opening, educational, and extraordinarily diverse experience, she said. “One important difference I wasn’t aware of, is that education in Germany is free at public universities. “In addition, there are a number of different types of universities - namely standard universities, universities of applied sciences, private universities and universities of cooperative education. “Coming from a fee-paying, mostly publicfunded, traditional tertiary education environment in Australia, to an applied science public university in Germany, required a new

From page 34 “The views and stories were unique to each individual and their life experience, and created some amazing opportunities for reflection and analysis from multiple perspectives across difference countries and belief systems. “This is something we would find very difficult to achieve in Australia, and it certainly provides our Australian exchange students with a memorable, educational, and lifechanging opportunity to learn about issues they may not come across in their education at home.’’ A stand-out moment for Melissa was meeting a German student who had completed 12 months of study at UniSC about five years ago. “I remembered her immediately, from my third year management class, when she reintroduced herself during our International Week presentations. “I was moved by her recollection of stories from Australia, and how her exchange changed her life and the career opportunities she had since been presented. “RheinAhrCampus should be congratulat-

invaluable to share - to make their travel and learning journey a more supported and informed experience.’’ For Sandie Elsom, it was the fourth exchange visit since 2014 and the lecturer in technology education in the tertiary preparation pathway felt a lot more confident of understanding and coping with the differences between the universities and the two countries. “Every time I come to Germany it becomes more apparent that I learn as much as the students do, if not more,’’ Sandie said, “On this this trip I learned more about what it means to be progressive, independent and reliant on my upbringing in Australia. “For example, a person from Georgia or Azerbaijan, who is socially progressive, will have vastly different ideas about what is acceptable than I will. “It was really enjoyable to hear about the students’ experiences and to become aware of the different perspectives that people have about the same topics in different cultures. “After hearing from the Indian students and the Georgian students, about how much pres-

A PERSONAL VIEW From a journalist’s point of view, it was interesting to see the changes in Germany over the years. To see the beauty of cities such as Bonn and Koblenz, and the links they have with history dating back 2000 years. The first time I visited Germany, Bonn was the capital of what was a divided country after World War Two. West Germany and East Germany were split by the Iron Curtain - a political division between Western and Soviet philosophies. The city of Berlin was divided by a virtually impassable wall. I did not expect to see it fall in my lifetime but it did. And I was touching remnants of it in a peaceful park in Koblenz. The RheinAhr Campus is attached to University of Koblenz. The city is at the junction of two major rivers - the Rhine and the Moselle. This convergence has been significant through time and regarded as the Corner of Germany. While in Bonn we enjoyed a coffee near a newspaper stand that former West German politicians would stop at on the way to parliament to catch up on recent events. The newspaper stand and coffee counter are still there - testament to the need to meet and discuss personal issues yet in a different context these days. Then there was the wine growing areas of the Rhine and Ahr Valleys. While hiking on a wine trail we came across a secure bunker, built deep into a mountain at the time of the Cold War. The West German Government developed it as a safe place to continue governing if relations with East Germany and the Soviet Bloc became even more strained. It was very much a time of nuclear threat and thankfully it was not needed. The Ahr Valley is one of the most important regions in Germany for wine growing. Just like much of Australia, the region experienced serious flooding in recent years. While the Mary River at Gympie rose to a one-in-100-year flood level, Ahrweiler in the Ahr Valley experienced a one-in-500-year flood and the loss of more than 120 lives. It shows that communities at both ends of the Earth are similar in so many ways. The teaching exchange is an exceptional experience for Australian lecturers to share and gain knowledge for the benefit of students across borders. An unexpected outcome was how these exchanges provide rare insight into how cultural experiences can change perceptions we may otherwise hold for a lifetime. Friday, 3 November, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 35

Christmas market to light up Pomona It’s the chance to select gifts for the festive season and at the same time support local businesses as well as producers and artisans. What started with a small stall last year will see Pomona abuzz with excitement next month for the inaugural Pomona Christmas Market and Late Night Trading Street Fair. Kay Kelloway of Pomona’s Little Pantry is one of the organisers, after holding a small themed event at her shop last year. “With other businesses, we got our heads together and decided what we needed,’’ Kay said. “We’re hoping to make it bigger next year too.’’ Local producers and artisans will be invited to present hand-made items to create a Christmas market feel. There will be music at both ends of the street, face painting and activities for children. Slow Food Noosa chef Matt Golinski will be providing cooking demonstrations, and there will be tastings from local producers. The Lions club will be holding a sausage sizzle and Santa arrives at 6.30pm. Businesses will be decked out in the Australian bush theme as part of a competition to find matching native birds or animals. The market and fair will take place on Friday, December 1, from 4.30-8pm at Station Street and Reserve Street, Pomona. Pomona and district stall holders or artisans who would like to get involved in the Christmas market or late night trading experience should contact Kim Maddison on 0488 551 723 or burrawingeek@gmail.com by 24 November 2023.

Noosa Orchestra presents Christmas cheer As we draw to the end of another troubled year marred by global conflict, we could all do with some Christmas cheer. So why not rejoice in an uplifting Christmas concert curated by Noosa Orchestra and help spread joy and peace on Earth? Noosa Orchestra conductor Antoni Bonetti says the Baroque era of composition was so exact, uplifting and focussed on the glory of God, so what a wonderful way to begin the concert with works of Telemann (Viola concerto) and Vivaldi (Motet). The orchestra will accompany violin soloist Frank Fodor performing Telemann’s viola concerto. It’s one of Telemann’s most popular and enduring masterpieces. While nuanced by the Baroque period in which it was composed, it has a lightness which still captivates audiences today. Featured soprano Judit Molnar will sing Nulla in mundo pax sincera, a sacred motet by Vivaldi: “There is no true peace in this world without bitterness“. According to Bonetti, the text dwells on the imperfections of a world full of evil and sin and is one of Vivaldi’s most beautiful solo motets. “Music allows us to focus on our destiny as individuals and as a collective race, and to sooth our troubles and embrace our fellows,” Bonetti said. The second half of the concert will up-tempo with jazzy, contemporary Christmas music from the Diamond Divas, two uplifting solo voices, Judit Molnar and Renae Suttie, who are set to rock, stir and emot. The audience will then be musically transported to Paris and the sparkles of Offenbach’s Le Belle Helene and the beguiling Bacarolle for two voices. The concert culminates in the jollity of jazzy and reflective Christmas songs such as: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, O Holy Night and Candlelight Carol. The audience will be invited to participate by singing select Christmas carols.

Lachie Gill set for stage Singer songwriter Lachie Gill will be taking to the stage in The Bunker at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 2 December to showcase material from his brand new EP ’Write It Out’ and remind audiences exactly why he was crowned Australia’s winner of The Voice in 2022. Since winning The Voice, Lachie has been busy in the studio working with renowned writer/producers The Mak Bros (Vera Blue, Kita Alexander, Boy and Bear), Joel Quartermain (Eskimo Joe, Meg Mac) and Edwin White (Vance Joy) refining material for his forthcoming EP (Universal Music Australia) as well as releasing a string of quality singles Wasted Time, Sad Summer, Hate That You Hurt and Right People Wrong Time - the latter having impressively clocked up over one million YouTube views. After selling out venues across the country on his ‘Live + Intimate Tour’, Lachie is back with long-time collaborator and friend Rae Santos for a series of concerts featuring brand new expanded arrangements of his hit singles, as well as special covers that made him a household name on The Voice. Audiences will also be treated to new music from Lachie’s forthcoming ‘Write It Out’ EP (out 17 November). Lachie says playing shows is and will always be his favourite part of being an artist. “To be able to share the songs that mean so much to me with others is a feeling I will always be grateful for. I can’t wait to travel the country again and meet everyone that has

Noosa Guitar Festival – tickets are now on sale! With music at their fingertips, and each with something inherently unique about their playing, several outstanding Queensland guitarists will strut and strum their stuff on the stage of Pomona’s beautifully preserved Majestic Theatre on 5 November. For artistic director Simon Gardner, the Noosa Guitar Festival is a celebration of allthings guitar: highlighting the seemingly endless possibilities of the instrument in the hands of the artists who play them. He purposely selected guitarists for the event who each have an extensive repertoire in a particular genre along with original releases and or extensive touring experience with major artists. “A lot of times we don’t recognise the contributions and output of these artists as they are usually backing other renowned performers,“ Gardner said. “But they are fantastic in their own right. Networking is a very positive step for artists looking to build a musical career.“ Dominic Ward and Clancy Anderson met at Queensland Conservatorium where they both studied alongside Internationally celebrated guitarist Karin Schaupp. As Solstice Guitar Duo, Ward and Anderson deliver beautiful ballads, Spanish serenades and flashy Irish jigs that are loaded with sizzling energy and passion. “As an emerging guitar duo, performing at the Noosa Guitar Festival is a major leap forward for Solstice,“ Ward said. “Getting to play in the same lineup as these superb guitarists is inspiring - a testament to the work we’ve done. From the rock mastery of Simon Gardner to the smooth jazz style of Jamie Clark, the Festival is going to blow people away with what the guitar can do.“ Simon Gardner is acknowledged as one of Brisbane’s premier rock guitarists and preeminent guitar teachers. Since 2020, his expertise in faithfully recreating the signature guitar melodies and nuances of some of the most memorable pop, rock, soul and folk songs from the 1960s have been on show in Good Morning Vietnam Music from the Vietnam War era. While touring that show in NSW last year, he and Wild Goat Entertainment’s Melanie Evans conceived the idea for a guitar-celebration event; drawing their inspiration from the Crossroad Guitar Festival, a series of music festivals and benefit concerts founded by Eric Clapton. “We will be holding true to the ethos of Crossroad by having six talented and success-

ful artists of varying genres perform throughout the afternoon: which then culminates in a super jam at the end. I wanted to create a very diverse music program as I am passionate about guitar in all of its iterations.“ Gardner will be performing a set of his pro-

gressive rock compositions and also on the program will be Solstice Guitar Duo, Golden Guitar Award-winner Michael Muchow, the poetic easy-listening of Tim Sladden, and the clever finger-picking of Jamie Clark. “It’s a very inclusive festival aimed at mu-

sic lovers who are into guitar-centric music and so there will be some spicy metal thrown in by JayBird Byrne and Charlie Sloan - two young players with exceptional technique and flare. The king of instruments needs to be celebrated in all of its glory!“ Friday, 3 November, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 37

Zonta walks for a cause Zonta Clubs around the world unite each year over the course of the 16 Days of Activism, a global campaign which runs from 25 November to 10 December to highlight the Zonta International Campaign to eliminate violence against women and girls. Considered one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today it affects women regardless of their age, background, or level of education. This violence takes many forms, including physical, sexual, or psychological violence, as well as economic abuse and exploitation. As part of this global campaign the Zonta

Club of Noosa campaigns locally to end violence against women and girls and will again hold its annual walk. This year’s walk is titled Walk for a Better World for Women and Girls. The walk will take place on 26 November commencing at 8.30am at the Riverside Stage, Lions’ Park, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. Speakers will include the Zonta Club of Noosa president and an officer from the Noosa Police Station. The Walk will follow, along Gympie Terrace, encouraging participation from the local community. It is a sad fact that more than 50 women die in Australia each year as a result of domestic and family violence.

Fashion show’s success The Tewantin Noosa Branch of the Australian Red Cross held a very successful Fashion Show on Friday 27 October at Noosa Domain Country Club. A regular fundraiser in the Branch’s calendar, the limited tickets were eagerly snapped up by over 100 interested locals who enjoyed a thoroughly entertaining morning. The funds raised will contribute to valued Australian Red Cross programs in Queensland including Migrant Support programs and the Red Cross Night Cafe in Brisbane, a safe space offering practical support for young people experiencing homelessness. Noosa Domain proved to be an inviting and elegant venue for the event. Fashions on show were generously provided by Trudy Doyle from her local boutique “It’s All About Me” in Thomas Street, Noosaville. The models - all but one Red Cross Branch members - looked fabulous. Trudy regularly gives her time for these events, for which the Red Cross is extremely grateful. Following the show, participants were treated to a wonderful light buffet lunch, catered for mostly by Branch members. Noosa Hospital generously donated additional trays of delicious sandwiches. A raffle run on the day attracted great support for close to 20 prizes. Those attending were delighted to win a variety of goodies including hampers and vouchers kindly donated by many big-hearted businesses, large and small, across the Tewantin Noosa community. Tewantin Noosa Branch of the Australian Red Cross holds fundraising events throughout the year which contribute directly to Red Cross programs assisting vulnerable people in Queensland and in the broader Australian community. Branch members meet monthly and also volunteer their time in the local community visiting local residents at NoosaCare Carramar and at Youturn, a not-for-profit organisation addressing youth homelessness. The Fashion Show was judged a resounding

Noosa’s RIPE Dance takes out two national awards Noosa based RIPE Dance has received national recognition for its work with local seniors by taking out two Australasian Dance Education Awards for ’Regional Dance Studio of the Year’ and the ’Excellence in Community Impact’ at a gala event on the Gold Coast last week. RIPE Dance founder and director Gail Hewton attended the event and said she was thrilled and honoured to win these awards which have recognised the excellence and significance of her work. “It’s particularly a wonderful acknowledgement of dance for older people given all finalists, except for RIPE Dance, in all categories were young people focused. It was a great opportunity to profile and advocate this important field of work,” Gail said. “We’re defying ageist attitudes and expectations in showing dance really is possible for everyone no matter their health status, ability or dance experience.“ Gail believes in the transformative power of dance across the lifespan, from the cradle to the grave. She has taught dance professionally for 45 years across diverse ages and contexts but the last 11.5 years working exclusively with over 55s has been her most rewarding by far. “The health and wellbeing benefits of dance for participants are enormous - we can help our ageing community to move, feel and live better through dance,” she said. Gail has worked tirelessly to develop a successful evidence-based practice approach and methodology to optimise the physical, cognitive, emotional and social benefits of dance with a strong focus on falls prevention and social connection while ensuring her dance offerings are safe and effective for seniors in a fun and welcoming environment. Over the past 11 plus years, in addition to undertaking regular desktop research and professional development in dance and health related courses and events, Gail has travelled nationally and internationally to investigate and develop expertise in this field becoming a leader, particularly in health and 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 November, 2023

wellbeing aspects of dance for older people. These awards will add to accolades Gail has previously received which include the 2017 Ausdance Qld Osmotherly Award for contribution to dance education and the 2018 Australian Dance Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance for Film or New Media for her film In a Different Space which showcases Noosa seniors aged 60-101 years dancing their stories in places of significance to them. The film has had 25 festival and event screenings in eight countries. Due to the success of the RIPE Dance approach Gail established Gold Moves Australia in 2018 with colleague Julie Chenery to offer training, mentoring and advocacy to encourage and upskill other dance teachers to work safely with older adults with a health and wellbeing focus. A presentation about the RIPE Dance program by Gold Moves Australia at the 2021 Australia and New Zealand Falls Prevention Society conference, which highlighted RIPE Dance’s high retention rates, with participants aged 57-97 years attending week after week, year after year, several for over 10 years, attracted the interest of researchers from University of Sydney’s Institute of Musculoskeletal Health to conduct an evaluation of the RIPE Dance program earlier this year, the findings of which support Gail’s approach to engage seniors in regular physical activity long term. The researchers are now planning a pilot trial in 2024 to test the ‘acceptability and feasibility of the RIPE dance program for preventing falls in people aged 65 plus’. With no retirement plans despite turning 65 next week Gail’s on a quest to have more older adults across Queensland and Australia enjoying dance classes tailored to suit individual needs for health and wellbeing.

‘Such an honour’: Kean A Sunshine Coast dual Paralympian and respected academic has been honoured with a vital leadership role for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Dr Bridie Kean has been named Australian Team Deputy Chef de Mission for next year’s Games. The appointment marks the first time in almost a decade that a Paralympian has been appointed to the crucial position. The title comes with the responsibility of leading the Australian Paralympic team when they compete in the 2024 Paralympic Games. Dr Kean was a member of the Gliders women’s wheelchair basketball team that won the bronze medal at Beijing 2008 and silver at London 2012. She has a Master of Public Health and completed a PhD on the balance between sport and study for Para-athletes and Chairs

the Sunshine Coast 2032 Legacy Plan Community Reference Group. Dr Kean was selected from a strong field of applicants to become the first Deputy Chef de Mission with experience as a Paralympian since former swimming champion Paul Bird filled the role at Rio 2016. Dr Kean, a lecturer at UniSC, said being part of the Paralympic Movement was lifechanging. “To be given the opportunity to contribute back to it through this position is such an honour,” Dr Kean said. “I really want to get it right, learn as much as I can and, I guess, provide that lived experience to the leadership group about how we can best support our Paralympic team.” Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson said Dr Kean continued to do her country and the local community proud through her profes-

sional and sporting endeavours. “My congratulations go to Dr Kean for her appointment in this important and esteemed role,” Mayor Jamieson said. “We are very lucky to have Bridie not only as a member of our community, but as the Chairperson of our Sunshine Coast 2032 Legacy Plan Community Reference Group. “This role calls on her Paralympic expertise to secure a real and valued impact for everyone, before, during and long after the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and her appointment as the Chef de Mission will only add value to this role.” The Paralympic Games of Paris will start on August 28, 2024, and include 549 events across 22 sports, 4400 athletes from 184 National Paralympic Committees and be watched by more than three million spectators.

Dr Bridie Kean has been named Australian Team Deputy Chef de Mission for next year’s Games.

Never too late to embrace a new, exciting passion A class on a whim, triumph over injury and now a masterful success: meet Glass House Mountains woman Karlee Cobby, who shows it’s never too late to embrace a new passion. Karlee, 35, was looking for a fun way to keep fit when a class at the Caloundra Rollerdrome caught her eye. Eight years and hundreds of hours of training later, Karlee has fallen in love with artistic roller skating (also known as figure skating), mastering her craft at competitions throughout the country. With the help of a Sunshine Coast Council Individual Development Grant, Karlee recently travelled to Bunbury in Western Australia, winning bronze in Ladies Masters Freedance at the Australian National Artistic Skating Championships. “Artistic skating is a fully self-funded sport, so the Council grant was a big help when paying for flights, accommodation, car hire and competition entry fees,” Karlee said. “I have received a Council grant each year since 2019 to compete at a national level, which is amazing, especially for a mature age athlete as most other grants are only for children.” Along with placing third in competitions nationally this year and in 2019, Karlee said her biggest achievement was returning to the sport after an ankle reconstruction, with no plans to scale back her skating ambitions anytime soon. The talented athlete is set to make her second attempt at mastering the fourth level of dance skating assessment and has begun

Noosa Charity Car Show raises vital $9k for Katie Rose Cottage Hospice The Roadrunner Car Club held their annual Noosa Charity Car Show at Chaplin Park Noosaville on Sunday 1 October. The weather on the day was perfect for the event, and there were plenty of locals and tourists out and about enjoying the beautiful Noosa River on the King’s Birthday Weekend. The show opened to the public at 8am and a steady stream of spectators came through the gates up until 12pm when the trophies were presented. There was a large display of cars from all eras as well as a unique display of collectable motorbikes. The Noosa Charity Car Show is run by the Roadrunner Car Club and all of the profits after costs are donated to local nominated charity Katie Rose Cottage Hospice, who are a fully accredited, not-for-profit, 24/7 palliative care service providing professional and respectful end of life palliative care within the community at no cost. Roadrunner Car Club Inc. Noosa Charity Car Show event organiser Graeme Adams said this year they raised $9060 on the day. “I would like to thank all those who as-

John Gabrielson, Will Johns, Judy Bickley, Sam Spink, Myra Doyle, Noel St John-Wood, and Graeme Adams. sisted in so many ways before and during the event,“ Graeme said. “The success of the show would not have

been possible without our many generous sponsors, vendors, local community groups and volunteers.”

“It’s a beautiful and incredibly challenging sport where you never stop learning,” Karlee said. “I would say if you are interested, go for it! You are never too old. We have events to suit most people and it’s an inclusive sport.”

Huge feat A Queensland team consisting of Sharon Campbell, Ken McGrath, Robyn Skaar and Ross Birkitt won the State of Origin tennis tournament held at the Tewantin Tennis Club on Saturday 28 November. The New South Wales team was the runner-up. The event was organised by club member Ben McDonald as part of his program as an Emerging Leader. Eight teams from Queensland, NSW, Victoria and the Rest of the World competed. As part of their program Emerging leaders undergo courses in tournament management, tournament officiating, assisting in coaching and have to project manage a tournament. Earlier in the year, Ben also gathered experience through assisting the tournament director at the Tewantin Junior Development Series which was held in July. The Emerging Leaders program is run by the Sunshine Coast Regional Tennis Assembly. This is the fifth year of the program and more than 30 people have participated. “The tournament was played in a competitive but friendly spirit,“ Ben said. “Thanks to everyone for participating in the event and a special thanks to all the volunteers who helped out. A good time was shared by all.” Friday, 3 November, 2023 NOOSA TODAY 43

Gone Fishing

Tackle World Noosa

Keen to head offshore With swells reaching over four metres and winds to 50 knots, nobody fished offshore last weekend. With a bit of luck things will have calmed down a little and we can head out. With that, the best we can do is talk about some great methods to catch those offshore species. Mackerel and tuna numbers should be good over the coming months with plenty of Spanish mackerel and longtail tuna on offer. This is the time of the year that the bait they are feeding on gets that bit bigger, making it a lot easier to match the hatch. Hardy heads and frogged mouthed pilchards are more prevalent at this time of the year so slugs up to 60 grams can be used. When targeting pelagic feeding on a bait school, I tend to use a jig rather that a slug. I like to cast to the edges of the school, letting the jig sink through the school. The action of the jig tends to look more like a dying baitfish and an easy meal for a hungry tuna or mackerel also these bigger fish tend to hold deeper picking them off. In the rivers and creeks, flathead numbers are at their absolute peak at the moment. There are plenty of fish about with a good number of fish taken from the same area. These fish are hungry in their close to their annual spawning time. Please keep this in mind as the big breeders are crucial to keeping up good stocks and a good local population. A great way to target them is with plastics and the colour that is doing most of the damage at the moment is bright pink. The paddle tail from Power Bait has been the number one in the stores with anglers reporting good captures just working these slowly across the bottom on the run-out tide. For the bait anglers small fish baits on small gangs has been working very well.

One of the anglers on Noosa Blue Water Charters did well with a mahi mahi and a nice snapper. Whiting numbers are also improving at the very top of the tide and the start of the run-out around the dog beach and the frying pan in the Noosa River. Live worms, peeled prawn and yabbies have been working very well. Prawn coloured surface walkers like the Eco Gear PX 55 surface walkers are the perfect lures for whiting as they have great trailing assist hooks that pick up the whiting when they bite short. Plenty of mangrove jack are being caught on the start of run-out tide, with live baits and fresh mullet strips being a real drawcard. Jacks are really starting to come on as the waters warm. Crab numbers are also picking up and depending on rainfall, it is always better to look

for those deeper holes close to mangroves to set your pots. On the beach, the good news is with a bit of swell and wind, things will definitely improve for anglers as the swell provides better gutters and more cover for fish and they will move into those closer beach gutters. Larger whiting is one such fish that likes a bit of cover, with some good fish coming from the gutters on the start of the run-out tide, fish to 35cm have been taken on the beaches between Peregian and Coolum. Tailor are still around with some big rough fish making their way back from up north after spawning. You will more than likely see these fish at sunrise and into the early evening. Don’t expect big numbers, but the fish you

catch should have some size to them. The area just south of Double Island or on the Noosa North Shore has been where most of the action happens but if you do spot a good gutter on one of the local beaches it is always worth a look.

K’gari expands protections to include fringe seascapes By Gabriel Laidler-Burns The University of the Sunshine Coast is hosting the K’gari Land and Sea Country: djaangarawinj 2023 Conference in partnership with K’gari defenders organisation FIDO next week on Thursday and Friday 9-10 November. The third biennial conference aims to expands its focus this year to include the seascapes that fringe the island and the iconic and threatened species living in the marine

habitats. UniSC Conference coordinator Dr Kim Walker said previous K’gari symposiums had concentrated on land-based issues and research and collaboration opportunities. “It is exciting to have a range of academics and Butchulla elders sharing their insights and expertise on issues relating to both sea country and land country, as we bring together traditional custodians, researchers, students, environmental groups and other

stakeholders committed to protecting the island now and into the future,” she said. Speakers include UniSC Associate Professor Andrew Olds who describes K’gari’s sea country as an ecological ‘hot spot’, where waters from the East Australian Current, continental shelf and Hervey Bay collide. Butchulla Elder Uncle Glen Miller will provide observations of changes in the Sandy Straits because of silt build-up caused by flooding in the Mary River and the effects on

Tough week for Thunder By Randall Woodley It was a tough weekend for the Thunder senior teams with just two winning their matches. When you score 5 for 393 like the first graders did, you do not expect to lose. But it happened at the weekend. That’s cricket! First Grade: It was a big weekend for the firsties. On Saturday they were at Caboolture for day 2 of their match, after declaring on 5-393 and having the snakes 2-15 on day 1. An early wicket to Zac Murray saw Thunder off to a great start but after that it was a day of toil. The two best batsmen in the competition put on a show scoring 130 and 160, on a pitch that did not offer much. Tewantin-Noosa had their chances dropping four catches off the pair, which lost the match in the end. Caboolture passed the target 7 down with 2.5 overs left in the day. Young Zac Murray was unbelievable again taking 4-66 . The effort for the day was first class and hard to be upset about a game where Thunder lost 2 less wickets and batted a dozen less overs for the same runs. On Sunday the team played the Semi-final and Final of the T20 competition. In the morning the boys beat Coolum Sharks (5-116 to 9-115) However in the afternoon match they lost to Maroochydore Swans. The boys could only muster 8-105 and the Swans passed the score in the 19th over., Next Saturday the boys will play Caloundra at Read Park. Match starts at 11.30am Second Grade: Thunder started the day on 2-47 chasing Caboolture Snake’s score of 158. The day did not start as planned losing skipper Tristan Griffin (24) before Ollie Wilson helped the team back on track scoring 28 off 67. Luke Smalley got 11 before Tyron De Kauwe came to the crease and started finding the boundary with ease smashing 6 boundaries for his 27*. Unfortunately the boys fell short by 17 runs, with Ollie Wilson winning the KBS Noosa man of the match voucher with his 4-29 off 10 overs last week. Third Grade: Day 2 and the team resumed at 265, against USC and continued batting. Luke Anstey (38) and Farran Cooke (33) helped the score reach 293 which the boys assumed would be enough for the win. They started strongly with Mike Thomson (3-65) bowling really well taking three early ones and with Luke Anstey’s bowling spot on from the other end, Thunder had them 3-50 at first drinks. Resuming is when the game became interesting. This team usually catches well but they dropped a few and let USC back into the game. Luke kept the team in the contest regularly taking wickets and finished with 6-81. Thunder won the match despite one of their batsmen remaining not out on 173. Fourth Grade: Day Two saw Landsborough resuming on 2 for 57 chasing Thunder’s score of 192. Early on they were tied down by some tight bowling from Bob McGhee (22 overs, 3-64) and Anthony Blackwell (10 overs, 1-18). Two wickets had the boys feeling they were in with a chance. The next few batsmen rode their luck and passed Thunder’s score at around the 50 over mark. However the next few batsmen continued to bat aggressively until Jackson Holland (4-58) came on to destroy them. Aedan Mayo robbed him of his chance for a 5-for by cleaning up the tail. (2-52). USC finished on 329 but overall a good effort from the young Thunder team on a challenging day in the field with some big hitting, hot conditions, bush fires and smoke haze. Fifth Grade: The Fivers had a win against Landsborough. Thunder passed Landsborough’s score of 172 with top contributors, Tony Watson 40 and Shane Gessell 64. Landsborough batted a second time, but Thunder took home the first innings points. Special mention to Justin Latimer who took 9 wickets in the match. Under 17s: It was a tough match for the teenagers against a very strong Maroochydore side. They had scored 260 on week one and Thunder began batting on Day 2. It was not one of the team’s best efforts, being dismissed for 94. Ollie Wilson top scored with 40. Batting a second time the boys lost 8 wickets with Farren Cooke remaining not out on 17. Under 15s: (Day 1 - TNT 5-306 V USC). The Thunder team took the field ready to defend their good score. Emile Lewis picked up the first wicket early but USC steadied with a good partnership. Then a wicket to Aedan Mayo saw TNT start to swing the momentum. Eddie

First match for the Junior Girls League and they played Matthew Flinders College.

Division 1 played Coolum in the semi-final last Sunday. Weychardt then took 2 wickets in two overs. USC again consolidated, but TNT kept chipping away with a wicket to Jackson Holland and a run-out. Their tail began hitting out but eventually Thunder won the game restricting USC to 9-261. Best bowling figures to Eddie Weychardt 2-27, Rory Ramsden 2-44, Aedan Mayo 2-49, Jackson Holland 1-12. Next week TNT travel to Caloundra for another 2 dayer and will look to continue their unbeaten start to the season.

Division 1 beat Coolum Sharks Sunday morning then lost to Maroochydore Swans in the afternoon.

Under 13s: The team played at home against Caboolture. After winning the toss and fielding first, Thunder restricted them to 54 with good line and length bowling and great fielding. In response Thunder knocked up 4-163 off their 30 overs. The lads learnt some lessons last week and put in a superb effort on Saturday. Under 11s: Playing Palmwoods the Fresh Property Noosa U11 Storm were not perturbed by the weather. Bowling first they took two early wickets by Hugo L and Bailey and kept Palmwoods run rate low. Unfortunately their best

batsmen were still coming and they scored 141 with Hugo taking a further two wickets. Thunder-Storm batted well but lost 10 wickets for 88. A tough game and outclassed this time but the boys are eager and will improve. Junior Girls League: This was the first match for the Thunder girls team and they played Matthew Flinders College. It was a real learning experience for most of the girls with many taking wickets and everyone scoring at least a run. More practice is needed but a great first outing.

The sweet smell of success Weightlifting As you walk through the open doors of the Noosa Barbell Weightlifting Club situated, at 1/15 Lional Donovan Drive Noosaville, you can’t help but notice the gym is clean, weights are in their place, athletes are going about their program: they will greet you with a nod of the head or a smile. Then you notice the atmosphere, it is something that only comes from - the sweet smell of success. The sport of weightlifting is unfortunately one that gets little or no support from the media. However, you will always find that those who join the committee are the salt of the earth: always there to help. As with all good club’s management and coaching, will at a given time, stop and evaluate all aspects of the month’s past, then look to the future. Head coach Woogie Marsh, has tabled a very comprehensive document: one that speaks of the past months and the future. The opening remarks tells that the Noosa Barbell Club shone very brightly at the Oceanic Championships and are now preparing for the U/15s Youth Nationals in Perth in early November ‘’Noosa Barbell has not only maintained its thriving fitness centre, but has also garnered notable achievements in various weightlifting competition. The dedication and hard work of its members, including stellar performances by Taj Marsh at the Oceanic Championships in Samoa, highlights the club’s commitments to excellence. In addition to their recent success the Noosa club’s annual event, the Bush Turkey Cup, brought the community together. This was done to celebrate the sport of weightlifting and express gratitude to their local sponsors for their unwavering support. Regarding the success at the Oceanic titles in Samoa, Taj Marsh Noosa’s exceptional young talent, showcased his prowess. Competing in the juniors and the U23s M89 division, Taj secured an impressive second place in the juniors and third place in the U23s. “His outstanding performance exemplifies barbell’s dedication to nurturing athletes who can compete at the highest levels of weightlifting.” He is now in preparation for the World Junior Championships. Taj Marsh is gearing up for a week- long training camp in Perth, where he will undergo rigorous preparations for the upcoming World Junior Championships in Mexico. This international competition will bring together the best weightlifters from around the globe in mid- November. Taj’s selection for this significant event is a testament to his dedication and hard work: as well as the quality training and support he has received at Noosa Barbell. The youth team for the Nationals in Perth is currently training intensely. The team comprises of Kaiya Marsh, Kase Dowd, Cooper Ward and Jack Lafferty. All have dedicated countless hours to refine their skills and strengthen their athletic capabilities. Additionally, Woogie Marsh (Head Coach) has been appointed as Queensland Coach for the event and is excited to collaborate with the team and other appointed coaches. The recent hosting of the Bush Turkey Cup by the Noosa Barbell club was, as stated, a resounding success with participants showcasing their strength and passion for the sport. It also gave the members the opportunity to show their gratitude to all local sponsors: the Chartist and Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast, True Protein and Noosa Subco. These people not only contribute to the success of the competition, but also play a vital role in ensuring the clubs ongoing future. Recent Bendigo Community Bank sponsorship, will provide the club with much needed funds: this will enable them to obtain a trailer for transporting weightlifting equipment to schools. The ultimate goal is to establish the Strong Kids Weightlifting Program, within the local Noosa shire schools. This the club intends to introduce in Term 1 of 2024. Summarising the Barbells remarkable achievements in weightlifting competition, 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 3 November, 2023

Athlete Luca Gerrard in action.

Barbells weightlifters with recent accolades. emphasises the club’s commitment to nurturing athletes at all levels. The performance of individuals and youth team members in the past and their preparation for the future, (including the ongoing annual Bush Turkey Cup), speaks volumes: not only for its coaching but also club spirit and most important of all, strong transparent planning by management for the seasons ahead. Athletics It’s more good news from the world of athletics. Earlier this month 76 selected athletics from across Australia attended the 2023 Coles Little Athletics National camp at the Gold Coast Performance Centre in Runaway Bay. Happy to relate, Noosa’s Little Athletics athlete Luca Gerrard was selected in the 4-day camp. Spokesperson for the Noosa club Tanya Mattila, presented a report that is very encouraging for the club and the future. The annual camp provided a unique opportunity for athletes to receive coaching from some of Australia’s top coaches and presenters who shared their extensive knowledge and experience. Each athlete was offered the opportunity to improve themselves on the track: and also, off the track in workshops, regarding such matters as recovery, psychology, strength and conditioning. Athletes were given the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the journey and process that is required to assist with their own development. There were current and former international athletes, coaching and presenting: but most importantly they passed on their experience gained during their journey from Little Athletics to international representation. Noosa’s athlete Luca Gerrard who special-

U14 athlete Marlon Andrews. ises in triple jump and sprinting said, “Meeting athletes from other states including coaches and organised teams, was really exciting. It was beneficial to learn about different recovery methods, nutrition and stretching techniques as they play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy and balanced training routine. Team bonding during free time was a great way to build friendships with like- minded athletes. Getting coached and receiving advice from Olympian Connor Murphy was an incredible experience.” It is quite obvious that Australia’s performance at the recent World Athletics Championships, with its best ever medal haul, and with Brisbane hosting the 2023 Olympics, the future is looking bright for our young athletes. The recent Coles 2023 High Performance camp was indeed an essential part for future of the sport and happy to see, our Noosa Club was represented. Following their High-Performance Camp, Coles again stepped forward to show their on -going support for Little Athletics when they sponsored the Coles Summer Carnival at the State Athletics Facility in Brisbane. The purpose of this event is to give all registered athletes in the under 9 to under 17 age group the opportunity to take part in a large-scale competition thus giving them the opportunity to foster new friendship. A summary tells us that Noosa finished the event with a total of 6 gold medals,1 silver and 2 bronze. The big drawcard was the inclusion of the Summer Carnival 100m Gift Race. First placed athletes in all age groups were given the opportunity to compete in this handy capped race. This was formulated by using starting

distances calculated on each athletes winning time for their 100m sprint. Head Coach Mick Hooper said, ‘’The Noosa Little Athletics was proud to have two finalists in the Gift. Under 9s athlete Zachary Nielsen and under 14 athlete, Marlon Andrews. Both athletes went exceptionally well with Marlon finishing 3rd and Zachary 6th. It was good to see the support given this race by the crowd, who declared it one of the best on the program.’’ This weekend the focus will be on the Queensland All School Championships. Held in Brisbane it will be run over four days: Thursday through to Sunday and Noosa will be represented by 13 of our best athletes. We wish them all the best. Outriggers As always when a club starts to grow and improve in all areas, families and supporters will often ask about training and who does the work behind the scenes. So, from Derek Mabbott Novice Coach, comes the following information. The club is based at Chaplin Park off Mills Street and the most activities are on Saturday morning ( if not away racing at carnivals): and with members finishing training from about 8.30 am, it’s a good- time to meet and say hello. The President is Bodo Lenitschek, Secretary Simon Currie, Junior coach Flea White, Women’s Coach Paz Hegarty, and Des Mabbott Men’s Coach. Another lady crucial to the club’s success is Chris Mitchell the Novice coach. She also runs the vital Saturday, “Come and Try Sessions” for those interested in the sport:the think tank and the workers- where it all begins.

Tales of old men and seas Over a vast number of Noosa Surf Festivals, one of my favourite things to do was talk story with the aging pioneers of our sport and culture. Now that I find I’m one of the ancients, those opportunities don’t come around so frequently, which is why I grabbed it with both hands when surf artist Owen Cavanagh invited me to host a chat show at his Studio 53 vintage board exhibition in aid of the Noosa World Surfing Reserve at Coolum last weekend, featuring three legendary surfing characters in Hayden Kenny, Gary Birdsall and Richard Harvey. In front of a good-sized crowd who’d spent the afternoon oohing and aahing over the pick of the crop of the best surfboard collections on the Coast, we settled the old fellas into their rocking chairs, with a beer nearby, ready for some probing questions. But first I had a little surprise for Hayden, Australia’s first ironman in 1966, patriarch of a dynasty of surf lifesaving stars and creator of one of the iconic surfboard brands of the early era. Back in May our first world pro surfing champion, Peter Townend, in Queensland on a flying visit, handed me a monogrammed spray jacket celebrating Hayden’s 2017 induction into the Surfboard Builders Hall of Fame in California. PT asked me to pass it on to Hayden next time I saw him. As it turned out, I had yet to catch up with Hayden a few months later when, packing my bag for an autumnal jaunt around the northern hemisphere, I came across the spray jacket – light, waterproof and perfect for the changeable weather we might encounter. Into the bag it went, and over August and September it kept me warm and dry during a hurricane on the Cabo coast, while fishing the choppy waters of Nantucket Sound, during the squalls of the Bay of Biscay and while braving the sleet to walk the city walls of York. Yep, it had been around the block, but it was only slightly worse for wear, and Hayden, soon to turn 88 years young, was delighted to don his jacket of honour, only six years late. Gary Birdsall, no stranger to Noosa surfers, was one of my surf heroes growing up on the Illawarra Coast, and only partly because he had featured on the cover of Bombora, the 1962 Atlantics LP that was never far from my turntable, shown in a Bob Weeks photo sliding down a Cronulla Point monster. Gary was a crack goofy-footer who had podium finishes at Bells and in the NSW titles behind the likes of Bobby Brown and Nat Young, but later he became better known as a surfboard artisan and artist and, as he confirmed at Studio 53 the other night, was the first in the world to airbrush art onto a surfboard. In recent years his limited edition prints depicting surfing’s glory days can be found in surf shops and man caves around the country. So good to

Dick Harvey and the author, Klemm Bell factory, Torquay, 1975. Picture: STEVE COONEY hear him in such fine form. The grommet of the trio, Richard Harvey is only a couple of years older than me, but this renaissance man of surfing has packed a hell of a lot into his 75 years. Recently retired from a long and illustrious career on the Gold Coast shaping fine surfboards and passing the skills onto others with his famous surfboard workshops, Richard first hit the radar as a junior from Sydney’s northern beaches in the mid60s and cracked the big time as a senior with a third at the Nationals behind Nat Young and Peter Drouyn at Margaret River in 1969. By this time Dick was a rising star as a shaper, with a stint at Ron Wade’s in Mona Vale

The Vintage Board Show.

before moving to Shane Surfboards and taking over Shane’s Queensland operation in 1970. He was more interested in pursuing this as a career than competing, but when the Nationals were announced at Margaret River for 1973, he decided to give the title one more crack at a favoured break, driving across the Nullabor with Coolie kids Michael Peterson and Peter Townend, both of whom he subsequently demolished in the final. Being Australian champion got him a start in a couple of Hawaiian events, which he used as springboard to years of surf travel adventure to rival the late Peter Troy. (I remember him in Bali in 1975 going AWOL from Uluwatu to secretly surf a break

Enthusiastic crowd for the legends. Picture: JESCA MAAS

Picture: KERRY MULGREW he’d discovered just along the cliffs called Padang-Padang.) What a buzz to share all these highlights of great surfing lives with an enthusiastic crowd to end a great day of surf nostalgia. I hear Owen is planning to make it an annual event, which I’m sure will be a popular move.

MCANALLY HOME TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY MCANALLY Drive at Sunshine Beach has some spectacular homes ... high on the primary sand dunes overlooking the ocean and with the Noosa National Park in the north east. Father-and-daughter team of Tom and Rebekah Offermann have listed a property in McAnally they describe as having “the ultimate XFactor.’’ With uninterrupted views, chic design and a benchmark in coastal style, 26 McAnally Dve feels like you are on top of the world, Rebekah said. The first open home was attended by about 80 people. And it’s not hard to see why. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom, two-car house with infinity pool goes to auction Saturday, 4 November, at 11am. There has been continuing strong interest in Azure, with big numbers through subsequent open homes and nothing but positive feedback on the property. A multi-award winner by avant-garde Noosa designer Chris Clout, it makes the most of its position with 180-degree views from the national park to Mooloolaba and beyond. And this outlook can be enjoyed from the mosaic-tiled infinity pool. An elegant foyer with designer handblown crystal droplet chandelier opens to double-storey voids that provide immeasurable spaces in bright white, Italian Carrara marble floors, mirrored surfaces, and walls of glass which open to the crystal-white marble pool terrace. Included in the bespoke design is an integrated fireplace, hideaway smart television, and Italian 10-candle stainless steel chandelier. Everything else has been taken care of, Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

Noosa Heads. At the same time it is within that prized 2km radius of Cooroy Mountain. Jeanette Catalano and Kess Prior of Hinternoosa are taking a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 1ha at 228 Lone Hand Rd to auction on Friday, 17 November. The meticulously-maintained home with four-car parking and shed is set in park-like grounds with gated entry. “It is a stunning home,’’ Jeanette said, “ … in one of the highly-sought addresses but it will be affordable. “The first open house was well attended. A couple of those groups were looking on behalf of friends who are interstate. “The sellers are wildlife carers and since moving to the area a couple of years ago are finding the demand for what they do is unfortunately increasing. “So they need more land to release the wildlife from their own property. This is an easier transition once the creatures are better, stronger and in some cases older so they can fend for themselves. “They are leaving this property in immaculate condition.’’ The spacious, single-level home has plenty of living and lounging spaces that were designed to connect to the outdoors easily. The heart of the home is the kitchen, equipped with an Ilve gas/electric cooker, expansive Caesarstone top benches, and handy island breakfast bar with waterfall edges. A cleverly-designed floorplan sees two

spacious bedrooms situated at either end of the home, both could be considered a main. One features a dedicated ensuite and walk-in robe while the other has direct access to the main bathroom that features brushed nickel twin basins and a walk-in shower. Two more bedrooms at this end of the house have built-in robes. The home has two split-system, reversecycle air-conditioners. A saltwater free-form pool is set among park-like grounds, and flourishing fruit trees. There is a storage shed and lock-up shed with a second entrance, secure front fencing and remote-control gated entry Others features include 24 solar panels, automated garden irrigation system, a bore, and two 60,000-litre rainwater storage systems. SPRINGTIME AUCTION CRESCENDO Bask in blue skies and balmy nights this spring, as auction fever teases in Little Cove and Hideaway Island ahead of hitting the high notes for Tom Offermann Real Estate in November. It’s all things bright and beautiful 10 minutes to Noosa Main Beach at the Nic Hunter-listed 40 Wyuna Dve, Noosaville, a year-round sun-splashed address on Hideaway Island, a much-coveted circular enclave. Three registered bidders were enamoured with the single-level home, with direct access to the park at the rear; however it was finally secured by a local buyers at the fall of the hammer for $3.5m. noosatoday.com.au

FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT First impressions do count, especially when you are on the doorstep to the main entrance of famous Noosa National Park with its world-recognised Surfing Reserve.

To top it all off, the holiday haven apartment 4 in boutique Naousa 11 at 7 Mitti St, Little Cove, listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Luke Chen, has Laguna Bay views. The campaign predominantly drew interest from Melbourne and Brisbane; there were four registered bidders wishing for the keys to the door on auction day; and it was sold for $1.82m to a Sunshine Coast local.

PICTURE-PERFECT RIVERFRONT POSITION Tracy Russell at Tom Offermann Real Estate has listed something of a gem along Gympie Tce in Noosaville. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, onecar apartment at 13 Offshore, 287 Gympie Tce, is right in the heart of the riverfront strip yet with privacy and wide outlook. Going to auction at 11am Saturday, 18 November, it is facing due north and features a sunny balcony and views to the Noosa River mouth. With lift access from the secure car park, it would make a great investment or residence, Tracy said. Those already inspecting have included local investors as well as from New Zealand and Brisbane. There has been a lot of interest from

those who have stayed in the complex before. The open-plan living space features banks of disappearing doors that open to the extra-roomy undercover terrace, that runs the width of the apartment. The smart, well-designed C-shaped kitchen comes with creamy stone-topped cabinetry including semi-island breakfast bar and high-end appliances. Wake up to sun shining on the river and go to sleep with the moon shimmering over it, from the king-size main suite. It also enjoys the benefits of the terrace, walkthrough robe and ensuite. Two bedrooms with built-in robes share a bathroom which doubles as a laundry. There is a separate toilet. “It is a very well-presented apartment,’’ Tracy said, “with year-round, back-to-back bookings including long stays.’’

WORLD-CLASS DESIGNER LIVING MANDALAY on Musgrave is a worldclass, architecturally designed, veritable lifestyle masterpiece. It is positioned perfectly on a 4001m2 block with awardwinning landscaped gardens to not only highlight breathtaking coastal views encompassing ocean and nature reserve, but also to maximise elevation, natural light and privacy, from its prized north-easterly aspect. With an inspired design blending Asian influences with the Australian lifestyle, Mandalay comprises four pavilions offering living, guest, home, and utility space, all connected yet separate, with seamless integrated indoor/outdoor living oriented towards the spectacular ocean vista. An environmentally friendly and energy efficient build, utilising natural materials including Australian native timbers, Mandalay is very much a property in harmony with its lush surrounds. At 100-metres above sea-level the sweeping view is forever protected, and the elevation also facilitates excellent ventilation of gentle cooling sea-breezes, also assisting the minimisation of energy consumption. The stunning 16-metre wet-edge infinity pool and sun-drenched terrace is a show stopping centerpiece that really elevates this magnificent property to another level in terms of aesthetic appeal and lifestyle. Akin to a movie set or the glossy pages of Belle and Vogue Living magazines, visitors will be suitably impressed and drawn to this resplendent alfresco zone where you truly will feel on top of the world. As gorgeous as the residence is, the landscaped gardens, winner of the

Landscape Queensland Construction Excellence Awards 2022 (residential category) complement the residence beautifully, with a mixture of native, exotic, and tropical vegetation, meandering pathways, granite boulders, metal art and edging, and a custom-built and designed circular fire pit with a Corten steel fire bowl positioned within a grassy knoll. Located on a corner block in a whisperquiet, leafy pocket west of Coolum Beach in a dress-circle acreage belt directly opposite Musgrave Bush land Reserve, the setting is leafy and serene. An abundance of birdlife and wildlife also cohabit this verdant pocket of coastal paradise, albeit home to Mandalay on Musgrave. All this sumptuous, natural splendor complete with the jaw-dropping vista can be savored without isolation – despite the tranquility and privacy, it’s just minutes to major amenities including schooling and retail, patrolled swimming at Coolum Beach, 15 minutes to the airport, and access to the motorway is quick and easy. “Mandalay on Musgrave is an outstanding property that will attract attention from buyers across the region, the state, the nation, and globally,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tracy Russell who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 11 November 2023. “Everything about Mandalay on Musgrave is impressive - from the scale and quality of the build, the vision, panoramic views, design excellence, and the lifestyle on offer. It truly stands in a class of its own.” ●

NORTH-FACING DESIGNER RESIDENCE THIS tri-level Trevor Reitsma designed residence is perfectly positioned on its leafy 518m2 block to maximise space, desirable northerly aspect, privacy, gentle breezes, and natural light; all elements work seamlessly in symmetry with each other to create a truly stunning property, very much a home for our times. A soaring entry void sets the tone for what is impressive throughout, designed for casual, relaxed coastal living without compromising style and elegance. Lightfilled, there is a calming ambience that is simultaneously soothing and invigorating. It is a wonderful place to wake up each day and retire each evening listening to the sound of the waves roll in on nearby Yaroomba Beach on a whisper-quiet night. An expansive living space with high-end kitchen is central to the home flowing out to an elevated front deck as well as an east facing deck overlooking the sundrenched lap pool; open up those stacker doors and it all becomes one magnificent open space large enough to accommodates a substantial sized gathering with ease. An inspired floor plan facilitates excellent separation of living with the master retreat and fourth bedroom/office occupying the entire upper level complete with its own northerly balcony and luxury ensuite where you can soak in the deep

spa bath with a glass of bubbles savouring the moment. With an abundance of storage including under stairs and additional space in the oversized (extra deep) garage for golf buggy/trailer and workshop; the home is as practical and functional as it is gorgeous – it is so easy to live here, everything has been thought of to heighten comfort and lifestyle. The landscaped gardens require virtually zero maintenance – with established vegetation including a striking Pandanus at entry, no-mow turf, and a private flat area at rear suitable for small children and pets to play. There’s also a fabulous lakefront park and playground around the corner, little people and furry companions can gather and make new friends. Located within the exclusive Vantage enclave – a prestigious, gated residential community nestled in the heart of Yaroomba just minutes to the beach, local primary school, and shopping precinct. The current owner runs daily to the beach via the golf course (2-kilometres). There’s no excuse not to keep fit and active – from the fairway to the ocean, to climbing Mount Coolum or walking along the scenic coastal boardwalk across Coolum’s three spectacular bays to the surf club. Major amenities including public and

private schools, motorway, airport, sporting fields/leisure facilities, and more are within a 5-15-minute radius; and it’s a 25- minute drive to Noosa Heads. This truly is lifestyle central - yet still so private and peaceful, totally tucked away from the hustle and bustle. “Buyers in the market who appreciate and value the benefits of the exclusivity, security, and lifestyle that a community like Vantage offers its residents, will be drawn to this sumptuous home – amazing to live in and easy to lock and leave when off travelling,” observes Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Zoe Cooke who is marketing this impeccable designer residence. “From striking street appeal to lavish, light-filled interiors, the inviting alfresco entertaining zones through to the desirable location, just minutes to one of the Coast’s most pristine beaches, this is the very pinnacle of Sunshine Coast living in every sense.” Facts & Features: Land Area: 518m2 House Area: 356m2 About: Trevor Reitsma design; tri-level north facing; soaring square-set ceilings, hardwood timber flooring; oversized windows; banks of louvres; ducted and split system A/C; new lighting; gas hot water; 10kW solar panel (installed 2019);
