Noosa boaties are already benefiting from the upgrade of the Albert Street boat ramp on Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, after work was finished ahead of schedule. Member for Noosa, Glen Elmes, said the $380,000 project included rebuilding and widening the boat ramp to current standards and constructing a floating walkway along the eastern edge of the ramp. “Floating walkways are a great asset to recreational boat ramps helping to reduce congestion and

allowing for ease of boat launching especially in busy times,” he said. “They are also very helpful for children and elderly users entering and exiting their vessels at the ramp. “This has been a win for Noosa, a great win for boaties and a win for the local economy,” Mr Elmes said. The project was funded through the Queensland Government’s $50 million Marine Infrastructure Capital and Maintenance Program.

Have you forgotten something? AS UNBELIEVABLE AS IT SOUNDS ALMOST 43,000 PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN TO CLAIM THEIR RENTAL BOND REFUND. The Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) is holding $9.35 million in forgotten bonds which have accumulated over the past 25 years. Noosa MP Glen Elmes this week reminded residential tenants and rental property owners to check if they are among those people. “People should contact the RTA and claim back their bond money to which they are rightfully entitled,” he said.

Housing Minister Tim Mander has announced that under current laws any bond which has been unclaimed for more than seven years may be reinvested into affordable housing for some of Queensland’s most vulnerable people. “However, tenants and landlords will still retain their right to claim any forgotten bond even after the seven year period has lapsed,” Mr Elmes said. Anyone who believes they may have forgotten bond can contact the RTA on 1300 366 311 or visit www. rta.qld.gov.au

Super keen teen raises thousands An amazing teen is aiming to raise $100,000 for wildlife conservation – and she already has more than $70,000 in the bag! Koala Crusader Tegan Lather, 14, boosted the coffers by asking ventriloquist/comedian David Strassman to help, during his recent visit to Noosa. Clearly impressed by Tegan’s efforts, Strassman auctioned off a signed Ted E. Bare, that he had used on stage, and supported Queensland Koala Crusaders to the tune of more than $6000. The generous donation has been directed to the charity’s land trust account. Tegan met Strassman backstage when he was on tour in Queensland in 2013 and told him of her personal quest to raise $100,000. When he arrived back in Australia earlier this year, Tegan contacted him. Strassman spent a day with Tegan and fellow Koala Crusaders Meghan and Sarah Halverson. “I am so grateful for David’s support for our idea to create koala habitat and safe havens for the future, and that it is our younger generation that is stepping up and leading the way, said Noosa-based Meghan, President of QKC.

Green light for Rule changes retail at Peregian for motorcycles NOOSA COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A NEW SUPERMARKET DEVELOPMENT NEXT TO THE PEREGIAN BEACH HOTEL that it’s confident will be more in step with the local community’s wishes for the town. The residential development on the old Peregian Beach caravan park site will now include a 1,600-square metre retail complex, including a mid-range supermarket of 950-square metres. The locally-based Scanlon Property group had already received approval by court order in 2010 to develop the site for accommodation, some retail and office space. Of the 37 submissions received, 35 were in favour, including support from the Peregian Beach Community Association and the Peregian Beach Business Association. Another developer - Multi Span Australia - has withdrawn its bid to build a shopping centre on a second site in the town, land zoned for community recreation at the site of the old Peregian Beach bowls club.

NOOSA ROAD USERS CAN NOW HAVE THEIR SAY ON POSSIBLE ROAD RULE CHANGES TO REDUCE TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND IMPROVE SAFETY FOR MOTORCYCLE RIDERS. Member for Noosa, Glen Elmes, said the Motorcycle Discussion Paper will be live on the “Get Involved” website for six weeks until July 3, as part of the Queensland Government’s promise to revitalize front line services. “I encourage all Noosa road users to give their feedback about potential road rule changes,” he said. “There are three main points of discussion as part of the paper, including lane filtering, rules on how a rider sits on a bike and helmet standards. On rider position, Mr Elmes said: “While the intention of the rule is to prevent reckless and dangerous behaviour, it doesn’t take into account the everyday practicalities of riding a motorcycle. By broadening the rules, it will mean a rider can remove their feet to reverse park or take their hands off the handle to adjust their visor and not be in breach of the law.” Have your say at www. getinvolved.qld.gov.au

STORY

COUNCIL’S FIRST SIX MONTHS Sir Frank Packer once famously decided he wanted to slash his Women’s Weekly and Daily Telegraph costs so he told his editors to pass the word to their reporters, “You don’t get a new biro until you hand back your old one.” I was reminded of this when I met Mayor Noel Playford this week to discuss Noosa Council’s first six months in office. In a wide-ranging and candid hour-long interview he described - without a hint of hubris - Council’s achievements since it came to office on January 2. We also talked about his style of leadership, his upbringing as a young boy on his family’s farm in Kin Kin, his passion for conservation, de-amalgamation, his electoral support and how he sees the future. While the Mayor and his Council’s actions to cut costs are not as extreme as Sir Frank’s, it is a fact that about 60 mobile phones and iPads will no longer be made available to some staff, saving $480 per phone per year. As well, some 30 cars are no longer being leased which saves $450,000 or, as Council CEO Bre de Chastel told me earlier, “the rates from 300 homes.” Add to that some management positions not being filled so more people can be employed on outside services plus substantial savings coming from new deals on electricity tariffs and you can see why the Mayor is confident the Council will show a significant surplus in its first six months of operation. “We’re not blowing trumpets about it. That budget was just to get us through the first six months,” he said. “What we did in January was tell our directors and managers that we were looking for a budget that has no general rate increase. The message was: ‘Don’t think that just because you need this much money for materials and services to carry out your function that there is going to be an increase next year. There is no such thing as an automatic increase. Rates are high enough already.’ “The cuts to the cars and the phones are a difficult thing to do because people have got used to having them. Some people have those devices but don’t need them for the job. They might be nice to have but we are not interested in ‘nice to have.’ If it’s not adding value to operations, then why should ratepayers pay for it? Taking away the phones is being done in a measured way. Individ-

uals will be invited to put their business case. “We have some pre y smart people and we’re looking for all the savings we can get. Our Purchasing Officer is good. He’s just got a deal for the library which will save 10 per cent on electricity costs. We spend a lot of money on power. People say Council is a business but we’re not a business in that we’re not here to make a profit. We’re here to provide services for people but we have to run it like a business just as efficiently as a business does. If we have that mindset, then we will get value for the community.” Mr Playford was first elected Mayor in 1988 and stayed in the job until 1997. “Personally, I didn’t want to put my hand up and get reelected just because I wanted to sit in this office again. It isn’t as much fun as it was before. I think a lot of things are like that second time Noosa gets the vote: From left, Glen Elmes MP, Bob Ansett and Noel Playford around. a lot of what we really valued.

FROM MUDHOUSE TO MUSIC MADNESS

Wendytakes Matthews it all in her stride ISOBEL COLEMAN

Wendy Matthews has a reputation as an artist par excellence with a sublime, expressive voice that never fails to move those who hear it. And it seems that magic works on animals, as well as humans! “I share 10 acres with all sorts of animals and my voice seems to call them all in – I find it an honour,” she told YLM. Wendy is currently touring her new album, The Welcome Fire, and on Sunday, June 15, will perform at Sunshine Beach Surf Club. “I come to Noosa about once a year and wish I could stay longer but on tour it’s go, go, go! “I’ve been up so many times and it’s brilliant. I’m hoping we might get a day off this time so I can chill out for a bit.” There isn’t much that Canadian-born Wendy hasn’t done after years in the music industry but in 2002, she changed how she did it. She quit Bondi for the NSW mid-north coast, se ling on an idyllic mountain top property near Coffs Harbour, where she shares a mud-brick home with legendary mu , Bear. “It’s wonderful here but it’s a strange life in some ways. I could be wandering around the property in pyjama bo oms for three days and then je ing off on a plane to tour.

WIN, WIN, WIN!

“I love going away, but I love coming back.” Wendy’s own recording label, Barking Bear, was named after her Border Collie companion, who turns 14 in a few days. “She’s fabulous, deaf as a post but very fit.” Wendy was born in Montreal in 1960 and was a member of Models and Absent Friends, as well as being a solo artist. She released Top 20 hit singles in the 1990s, including Token Angels, Let’s Kiss (Like Angels Do), The Day You Went Away and Friday’s Child, with Top 20 albums, You’ve Always Got the Blues (duet album with Kate Ceberano), Émigré, Lily, The Witness Tree and her compilation, Stepping Stones. She has won six Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Awards. Wendy also appeared on three series of It Takes Two, partnered with Richard Champion (2006), Russell Gilbert (2007) and John Mangos (2008). Growing up listening to Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt and Barbra Streisand records, Wendy left home at 16 to go busking and, as they say, the rest is history. On her way to becoming a star in her own right she sang backing vocals for the likes of Glenn Shorrock, Jimmy Barnes, Richard Clapton, Tim Finn and Icehouse. Her new album, The Welcome Fire, is her first original album in 12 years and she is very excited about the tour. But will she still sing the old favourites when she comes to Sunshine Beach? “Oh absolutely, you can’t bombard people with all new stuff, it’s too self-indulgent. I’ll be doing a few new ones and the songs that people all know.” Wendy Ma hews will perform at Sunshine Beach Surf Club on Sunday, June 15. Phone 5447 5491 for details.

One lucky YLM reader will win a double pass to see Wendy Matthews live at Sunshine Beach Surf Club! To enter, simply email your name, address and phone number to isobel@yourlocalmag.com.au marking your entry WENDY. The winner’s details will be passed on to the surf club and tickets will be on the door on the night.

Bob Ansett on building better businesses

ISOBEL COLEMAN

There were many who battled long and hard for Noosa’s deamalgamation but one of the most active was Bob Ansett. And when the ba le was won, and Noosa regained its independence, he stepped back from the fray, just as he always said he would. But if you thought he was angling towards a quieter life, you’d be wrong! The long-time Sunshine Beach resident squeezed in a chat over coffee with YLM just before he boarded a flight to Bundaberg – one of around 50 speaking engagements he carries out throughout the year. “I was always confident that we would get our council back. It took a li le longer than we

thought but I didn’t begrudge a single moment. I loved it, doing the mailbox drops, talking to people, being able to give my view on why it was so important,” he said. “It’s pre y rare in the history of Australia to see a community regain its council but we had a strong case. Noosa is diﬀerent, in a positive way.” Recognised as a champion of small business, Bob has also spearheaded campaigns against the Fringe Beneﬁt Tax and Capital Gains Tax, and encouraged deregulation. He is currently a director of the BSR Group, as well as a very popular speaker at business events. “I’m now ge ing a lot of regional engagements, at business expos, more than ever before. The Bundaberg event is to encourage the business community to take a few risks,

to think more creatively, to recover from the ﬂoods. “My main topics are strong customer service, leadership and marketing. These are critically important for any sized business. “I was very impressed when Tourism Noosa put the Welcome to Noosa program online. In the end it comes down to management and the proprietor to get the environment right,” Bob said. “Good customer service is the hardest thing to sustain – you can never sit back and think you’ve got it covered.” However, great customer service was something Bob deﬁnitely had covered at Budget Rent a Car. During his 25 years with Budget, Bob introduced franchising and exported the Budget System to over 20 countries, includ-

ing Japan and New Zealand. He grew the company from a two-person small business to a dynamic enterprise employing more than 3000 people with an annual turnover in excess of $400 million. “We ran Budget from the bo om up – it’s the only way to sustain excellence and have people say “wow!”. “Customer service is a profit centre, as is marketing – it helps to generate business. “With Budget I started providing examples of the benefits of hiring. For example, if your car was in for repairs, if you were on holiday – no-one else had done that. This is how you build brand awareness and provide ways in which people can use your service and buy your product. “All our company executives had to spend one day a month working in retail to understand it all.” Budget was a trend-se er in employee relations being one of the first companies in Australia to introduce staff health and fitness programs. It was Bob’s business philosophies, his ability to inspire his employees and his commitment to customer service that

here as much as I could but work called me away. Then in 1995 I came for a holiday and worked out that I could work just as well up here.” And when he’s not working? “Unless I’m away speaking, my routine is always the same. I walk up to the National Park, run through the Park to Main Beach, where I meet some friends and swim the Bay. Then we have breakfast at Cafe le Monde. “It’s a fantastic way to start the day.”

We spend a lot of time of work and it needs to be enjoyable and rewarding, not something you Bob Ansett dread. propelled Budget into a position of market dominance. Bob believes that a successful business is built on three pillars – differentiation, innovation and creative marketing/ advertising. “You have to make yourself different to others in that industry, and in Australia. And you have to market your business,” he said. “Australian businesses don’t put a lot of emphasis on innovation but they should. At Budget, we had a policy of introducing something new every six months. Ask your staff for ideas and give them the recognition they deserve as it will give them a sense of ownership. “We spend a lot of time of work and it needs to be enjoyable and rewarding, not something you dread.” While Bob believes there is still room for improvement, he hails the internet as a breakthrough for business. “I’d had a house at Sunshine Beach since 1987 and got up

¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

Very lightly grease the moulds with a little vegetable oil on a paper towel. Whisk the cream and yogurt together in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside. Bring honey and vanilla seeds to a simmer in a small saucepan. Squeeze excess water from gelatine and add it to the honey. Stir to dissolve. Stir honey mixture through the yogurt mixture and divide between the moulds. Refrigerate until set (4-5 hours - or even overnight). To make the passionfruit syrup, combine ingredients together in a small saucepan. Simmer over a medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the liquid becomes syrupy. Set aside to cool. Just before serving, dip bases of panna cotta moulds in warm water for a few seconds, turn out onto serving plates and spoon on the passionfruit syrup. Serve immediately.

All the old favourites are there, such as Roast of the Day, Steak and Kidney Pie, made with succulent rump steak, red wine, herbs and vegetables, and popular chicken dishes, such as Parmagiana and Schni el. There’s always a curry, too, served with all the sides – so good you’ll think you’ve stopped oﬀ in Bombay!

Uhm, maybe you can, with Crispy Skin Snapper on the menu, served with grilled prawns; Atlantic Salmon, pan-fried with garlic sage sauce, and Seafood Laksa, packed full of barramundi, mussels, prawns, calamari and scallops.

Don't just take our word for it!

Here's what diners have been saying.

“We ended up at Tewantin Noosa RSL because our five-year-old was craving mashed potatoes and must say that she was not disappointed and we really enjoyed our meals (so much so we returned the following night and re-ordered the identical meals). Good value for money.” “Had a fantastic dinner at Tewantin-Noosa RSL - more restaurant quality, not what you expect from a club turning over so many meals. Prices were spot on for what you were getting and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.” “Had fish platter for one - way too much for me – and veal osso buco for him. Amazing food, massive portions! Also won the biggest tray of rump steak I’ve ever seen! Staff were really nice and very helpful and made us feel so welcome. Back here for dinner two days later. Would recommend this highly.” (Reviews from TripAdvisor) PHOTO: KP ARCHITECTS

Ted’s

TED EMERY is a film director (Kath and Kimderella) and TV producer, with Full Frontal, Fast Forward and Kath and Kim among his credits. He is now living in Noosa and says he will write for YLM “when inspiration strikes.” Here is his account of when it struck him in the kitchen!

THE HUSBAND’S GUIDE TO ATTEMPTING TWO THINGS AT ONCE Part 1:

EXERCISING WHILE COOKING Place a frying pan on the stove on high heat with an egg nearby. Position yourself at the kitchen window, legs spread shoulder width apart, weight distributed evenly. Stare out the window and contemplate launching the tinny on Saturday. At the sound of a female voice calling “what’s that burning?” spin in a ﬂuid motion, grasp the egg and break it into the pan. Take an egg slice from the drawer. Put on the toast and turn back to where you thought you put the egg slice - the toast on, and egg slice search are all single hand moves, while the eggshell remains in the other hand. Completing three 360 degree turns and tea towel lifts looking for the egg slice, get another one from the drawer. This move is accompanied by a rapid side and down action as you discard the eggshell in the kitchen tidy. The now overcooked egg requires you to turn rapidly to the stove, pick up the pan, doing 90 degree head turns left and right to locate the now missing second egg slice. With the toast now burning, lift

it out using alternate wrist shakes and finger sucks due to the heat. Complete a half-turn to the left or right - depending on kitchen feng shui - and place the toast where the plate should be Whilst either bending or stretching to retrieve a plate, one of the two missing egg slices should enter your peripheral vision. Memorise its position. Plate now set, make large lateral sliding steps between the fridge - for the bu er - and the toast. With the bu er knife still in the drawer, perform a 270 degree dig and twist wrist action to retrieve a portion of bu er from its container using the just discovered egg slice. Whilst doing this, rise up on your toes and a empt a hip-to-handle bump to get the pan off the heat. With now too much bu er on one piece of cold toast and none on the other make a double hand rapid open drawer extraction of a knife. To unfasten the now burning egg from the pan will require a vigorous back and forth motion of the pan accompanied by between egg and pan knife action with further head twists looking, yet again for the chameleon-related egg slice. The si ing down and ge ing up again to get cutlery and make a coffee, usually accompanied by a verbal female cadence - “I hope you’re going to clean all this up” - I will detail in part 17.

ON-TREND FOR

winter?

Long? Short? Up? Down? Elizabeth Kramar of Icon Studios has the lowdown on hair trends for autumn/winter 2014

PHOTO: PETER TRAINER

I can’t believe it’s almost time to wave goodbye to sun-kissed days at the beach and balmy nights to welcome in autumn and winter! But the upside is that there are so many gorgeous trends in hair emerging for the cooler months ahead.

WHITE BLONDE For those ladies looking for something with a bit more edge, a lighter silver toned blonde is stunning. MODERN SIXTIES We have been seeing a sixties revival on the runways for the past year, but this season it’s taking a more modern, subtle turn. Think hints of volume at the crown with smooth centre parts, toned down bouﬀants and headbands paired with graphic eyeliner and nude lips.

ylm-20-2

PERFECTLY UNDONE HAIR Although it may look like it, unfortunately most of us don’t just wake up with that tousled, undone hair that is cropping up everywhere on the catwalks. This look is all about the relaxed, tousled texture that is easy to create with the right products and tools - a bo le of Kerastase Spray A Porter is a must-have for this style.

BLUNT FRINGES

Fringes are having a moment and this season we’re seeing a trend towards the straight, blunt fringe. Cut straight across or taper slightly at the sides to soften the look.

From faux pas to fashionable YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES - TEMPERATURE DROPS: PACK AWAY YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE AND GET OUT YOUR WINTER CLOTHES. Temperature rises: sigh, dig out your summer clothes again. It’s the Queensland shuffle! But the solution is simple – just layer! Once a bit of a fashion faux pas, the skirts-over-pants trend is back big time, even gracing the runways. From Prada to Joseph to Chanel, there’s no doubt that the once unconventional is becoming fashionable.

BOBS ARE BACK If you’ve been contemplating a bob, now is deﬁnitely the time to take the plunge! Bobs are only ge ing bigger, and this season it’s all about the blunt cut. It’s powerful, polished and has that hint of edginess that we love.

PHOTO: PETER TRAINER

NEAT ON TOP Smooth roots, sleek chignons and polished braided ponytails are an elegant, fashion forward style. We love how this look can be taken from day to night and is a great way to keep hair looking neat in the winter wind.

The holiday that can change your life Ask Barbara Sheriff what she loves most about her job and she’d probably say it was changing people’s lives.

For Barbara and her team at Noosa Travel in Tewantin are the go-to people for organising overseas dental and cosmetic surgery. And when you book with Barbara, you know you are getting the very best,

in treatment and holidays. The business came about when Barbara’s husband required major dental work and was quoted $25,000. “Even with private health cover the saving was minimal so we looked around for alternatives,” Barbara told YLM. “At that time there were very few people organising overseas treatment and certainly none on the Coast.” Through their own experience, and nine years of experience, Barbara became an expert on the subject and now organises trips to Thailand for treatment for many others, helping them

save up to 70 per cent on costs. “And it really is still a holiday, too, with all the benefits of getting away and enjoying a different culture. Operating as My Body & Spirit, Barbara can arrange treatment in Phuket and Bangkok. “We only deal with three hospitals and they are all international standard, with all levels of specialists. We cater for men and women, aged 20 to 70 and it really does change lives. “It’s not about vanity; it’s about being confident and happy with yourself.”

There are also great savings on other treatments like Lasik eye surgery and Refractive Lens Exchange Eye Surgery. Barbara can organise for you to travel independently or in a group, knowing everything has been taken care of. The next escorted group is July 14 to 28, and you can find out more about My Body & Spirit at a free information night on Wednesday, June 18, at 6pm, at Noosa Travel, Shop 2 Poinciana Place, Tewantin. Phone 5449 7000 for details and to book.

2014

QUEENSLAND IS A GREAT STATE BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF OBESITY IN AUSTRALIA. Research shows 65 per cent of Queenslanders are overweight or obese, and 33 per cent don’t even realise it. Not only that, 23 per cent are at risk of being overweight in the future. Which is why the Queensland government has launched the Healthier. Happier. campaign. The campaign is all about change and making Queensland the healthiest state. And when our bodies and minds are healthy, we feel better, we look better, we have more energy and we’re able to get more out of life. The aim of the campaign is to get people to stop and think about what they did in the last week and then perform an honest evaluation of their lifestyle and diet through the Health & Fitness Age calculator. You know how old you are, right? You probably know what your weight is. But does it tell you what kind of shape you really are in?

Visit www.healthier.qld.gov.au, follow the links and take the test! Then you can set your own goals to get fitter and healthier. Concentrate on actions that are easy to achieve and build from there. For example, a goal could be to eat a piece of fruit every day for a week. Once you have successfully done this, you may want to make a new goal of eating two pieces of fruit every day for the next week. But if you don’t succeed in achieving your goals at first, don’t worry. Don’t dwell on it, and certainly don’t give up. The ultimate goal is to live a healthier and happier life, so everything you do counts. Limiting the amount of time you spend sitting is important. Every time you move, or don’t move counts. It doesn’t have to be really sweaty, expensive or at a gym. You can even try simple things like walking around while talking on a mobile phone, or taking the stairs instead of the lift. A few simple changes now could improve your health and your life forever.
