LOCAL KINDNESS Dear editor, Recently at our local shops, after leaving my husband at the chemist, I walked up to the Bli Bli Bakery to buy a couple of bread rolls for lunch. As I approached, I noticed a sign outside about the benefits of shopping local – better service than at the big shops, locals employed and money staying in the local community, etc. Of course I had to agree, what I also didn’t realise is that it can be the setting for a random act of kindness.

My husband was to pick me

up when he was done. What I hadn’t realised was that he’d had to use all the cash in my purse to pay an account. So, I told the shop assistant that I’d be back in a few minutes when he came.

To my surprise another customer offered to pay. I said there was no need, and I could have used my card, but it didn’t seem worth it for such a small amount.

She insisted and offered to pay the lovely woman behind the counter who said not to worry as she handed me the bread rolls!

It certainly put a spring in my step as I went to find my husband. The rolls seemed extra

delicious that day, many thanks to the two kind women.

Robyn Deane, Bli Bli.

WHO VOLUNTEERS? Dear editor, Australia runs on volunteers.

Fire brigade, CWA, Farming aide organisations, op shops, environmental groups, surf lifesaving, the list is endless.

Without our volunteers so much just wouldn’t happen. But who are the people who volunteer?

From my experience most are people who have lived in Australia for quite some time. Looking about I don’t see many new Australians volunteering. Why is

FARE EVASION Dear editor, In South-East Queensland’s public transport, a network of Translink’s fare inspectors roam randomly to check commuters’ go-card credit or paper tickets, travelling on buses and trains.

However, fare evasion continues with impunity, considering that two or three inspectors working together cannot be in multiple vehicles at once. They either warn fare evaders of their responsibility or fine them. Children are not fined. Teenagers are considered children on school days.

It is usually the regular elderly commuters who pay their way .

During weekdays fare evasion is rare . However, after school and on weekends, the practice is rife, usually by teens and young adults avoiding payment, arrogantly walking on board with a sense of entitlement.

Bus drivers do not challenge fare evaders. The system is set up for drivers to record fare evasion on the bus computer. Those who do pay watch this daily, on almost every bus. Inspectors fail to catch the regular fare evaders, who use social media to contact one another, with information as to the movements of inspectors.

This data Translink is well aware of, but with no change to fare evasion repeated daily. It is less common the closer travel is to Brisbane from Caboolture south, and in Brisbane, where it is not tolerated.

This is theft, a crime, and should not be tolerated. It is the taxpayer subsidising public transport, due to the infrequency of Translink’s fare evasion inspectors, seemingly not a priority. It is unconscionable to allow this to continue. The State Government’s lackadaisical ignorance is robbing Queensland taxpayers continually, by inaction.

E. Rowe, Marcoola.

OZ DAY AWARDS Dear editor, The council made a decision to end a 64-year tradition of presentation of Australia Day Awards.

I was advised that Council wanted a different set of awards to celebrate the region’s status of a UNESCO Biosphere hence the ending of Australia Day Awards.

Hardly justification for ending 64 years of history.

Making the change at a

workshop without community consultation was justified because that’s the way the decision was made 64 years ago. Fortunately the way things were done in 1960 does not justify the way things should be done now.

The use of the title “Biosphere Awards” is not appropriate for the Citizenship Awards or other Australia Day Awards.

Australia Day awards system recognised the outstanding Service of Australians, groups and organisations and celebrated the diverse and remarkable contributions of extraordinary Australians since 1960.

The new awards are supposed to show examples of sustainability to our ecosystem.

In 2018 at the Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards, The Citizens of the Year Award for the Sunshine Coast recipients, Denise and Bruce Morcombe provided plenty of Criteria for a couple who provided outstanding Service and contribution to Sunshine Coast residents as well as children everywhere. They would have failed to provide examples of continued sustainability of our eco systems in our biosphere. In the awards of 2024.

In a blink of an eye it’s no more. Tradition and the honouring of the most exceptional Australians is gone forever The reasons given for lack of participation and cultural issues should not be the basis for cancellation of these awards and 64 years of history of this region.

We wish to lodge a strong complaint on how this was done, the reasons for the decision, the justification of the decision and the obvious cancellation of 64 years of Sunshine Coast History.

Colin Caudell, Coolum Beach.

VOTE FEMALE Dear editor, Let us address the gender disparity within the Sunshine Coast Council without delay. Since 2020, our council has been predominantly comprised of men, with just one woman among the decision-makers. It is evident that a more balanced representation is necessary to ensure diverse perspectives and better nurture our community’s needs.

Fortunately, for Division 8, we have Kathryn Hyman poised to bring about this necessary change. Having campaigned with Kathryn during the Sekisui Yaroomba Beachfront Development and Twin Waters West proposals, it is obvious Kathryn possesses a profound understanding of Council affairs and has consistently demonstrated unwavering dedication to our community. Her expertise spans various domains, encompassing other social and environmental concerns.

KATHRYN

HYMAN

1

Kathryn’s commitment is genuine and steadfast, driven solely by her sincere concern for our community’s well-being.

As the opportunity arises for her to assume the role of our local Councillor, she is primed to continue her exemplary advocacy efforts.

Our community can only be enhanced by Kathryn’s leadership, recognising the invaluable contribution she is poised to make to our region. So, when voting please consider the current gender disparity and vote for a woman who is well experienced to do the job.

Julie Failor, Yaroomba.

VOTING IN DIV8 Dear editor, Ten men and only one woman have been the policy makers for the development of this region for too many years. We call for the most worthy candidate, Kathryn Hyman, to be elected at Saturday’s Council election and help correct this imbalance.

We know Kathryn, have worked with her, and she is passionate and highly experienced in the problems that affect our area.

She is the only Division 8 candidate that has been at the forefront of community campaigns for eight years, including President of Twin Waters West & Surrounds, and is the driving force behind the fight against development on the flood plains.

Kathryn works in aged care, runs a small business, manages the Mudjimba Community Centre and is Mum for her two children.

Kathryn holds those in power accountable, bureaucrats and politicians, through intense research of detailed documents.

She is the only Division 8 candidate to send submissions to Council against the Sekisui development and the proposed Stockland development in Twin Waters.

Kathryn is a true independent, has cut no deals and has no political party affiliations. She has done all this for free, because she cares. Now is her time to be elected as our local Councillor and continue her excellent advocacy work. Our area needs her.

Estelle Blair, Yaroomba.

I am a mother, military veteran, dedicated local, and your current local Councillor.

Once again I stand as a candidate for Division 9 of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council to be a truly local community representative.

Division 9 getting its fair share of spending Making sure Division 9 gets its fair share of rate spend, while looking for budget efficiencies to keep costs down for ratepayers.

Better waste services Undertake an independent report and community consultation to gauge sentiment around kerbside hard waste collection and tip vouchers. Making it easier and cheaper for residents to do the right thing with hard to remove items.

Sustainable development Adhering to the town plan is key to maintaining our livability. Tightening loopholes in the new town plan is critical to prepare for new residents, provide relief from the housing crisis, and ensure our green spaces and transitioning landscapes are protected.

Protecting and enhancing our environment Continue to protect areas not suited to development and rehabilitate environmental areas to create healthy environments for our native species, especially those that are under threat.

Ease cost of living pressures With increasing cost of living pressures, Council should aim to keep costs to residents low. We need to find efficiencies within the budget and within our rating categories to result in a fairer system and ease financial pressures.

Active transport and public transport We need an increase in safe footpaths and bike networks as well as a more frequent and reliable public transport system.

DEVELOPER BEHIND BARNS LANE AGRI FARM LISTS SITE FOR SALE FROM PAGE 1

local community and was set to include orchards, a produce hall and an immersive ‘paddock to plate’ food experience as well as a distillery and live music venue.

A spokesperson from JLL, the company listing the site stated that there had been much interest in the coveted site.

“JLL is guiding the sale with an undisclosed asking price and a high level of local and international interest is expected.”

The reason for the sale is

being put down to the current owner ‘Into Property’ wanting to focus on other projects.

“Having acquired the Coolum site in 2021 and sharing its vision for the site’s potential, the developer’s long list of other Southeast Queensland projects means that a decision has been made to seek a new owner for the Coolum land parcel.”

The site has had a checkered history with a Bunnings warehouse once proposed for the site however that development was successfully fought and opposed by both Sunshine Coast Council and local com-

munity advocacy groups.

The site was also once a Llama farm.

Property data history shows that the site has previously sold for $5.775 million to the current owners in 2022 and for just over $9 million in 2011 and in 2004 the block sold for $8.5 million.

The current asking price is undisclosed and expressions of interest for the site will close on March 27.

What do you think should happen with the site? Please let us know by sending in to editor@coolumadvertiser.

THE RECENT weekend saw the Noosa Festival of Surfing take centre stage at Noosa Main Beach and one of the biggest and most loved events was the ‘Dog Surfing Contest’. The event definitely gives the adage of ‘man’s best friend’ all new meaning! Photographer Mike

CLEANING UP FOR AUSTRALIA ALONG COASTAL STRETCH

IT WAS a busy morning on Sunday March 3 with the annual ‘Clean Up For Australia Day’ taking place with hundreds of ‘clean up’ event sites across the country. Volunteers in Coolum at the event organised by Mandy from ‘Ten Little Pieces’ gave up their time for a sweaty morning of rubbish removal in the dunes adjacent to the Lions Park (across from the hotel) in Coolum.

Division 9 councillor candidate Maria Suarez once again came along to a clean-up event and was saddened to see more rubbish collected this year.

“Last year it wasn’t so bad, this year I picked up a lot!

“One gentleman lugged in a large and heavy microwave, I reported a rug and a mattress as illegal dumping, and Mandy found many cigarette butts along David Low Way.” Maria went on to say that it was a great event organised by Mandy who once again brought the community together.

“Families, small businesses and Coolum State High School community representatives turned up to clean up.”

Remember though that every day is essentially clean-up day!

In an effort to keep our environment pristine please never walk past any litter if you can.

Poulter opening his first store in 1987 at Sunnybank Hills in Brisbane.

A leader in the fresh food marketplace, Lenard’s can be found at 23 locally owned stores and over 600 independent supermarkets around Australia.

“The Lenard’s brand is trusted, well recognised, and loved by customers,” Roz said.

“Lenard’s provides a quick, tasty, easy, and convenient meal solution and one example is we see that kids love the Sausages and Lenny Pops, so we have happy Mums and happy customers.”

Roz further went on to say that consistency in products and stocking old favourites made Lenard’s a great brand to stock and that they had many return customers as a result.

Lenard’s have a range that incorporates all of the traditional chicken products including Kievs and more unique offerings such as Chicken Enchiladas with a Mexican twist.

“I love the Kievs myself personally, accompanied by a fresh salad sourced from local farms!”

White’s IGA are located at Bli Bli, Mooloolah, Mount Coolum, Peregian Beach, Baringa and Forest Glen.

About Lenard’s Founded by Owner and Director, Lenard Poulter the group started in 1987 in Sunnybank Hills. Lenard’s handmade chicken products are made with 100 per cent Australian healthy barn-raised chickens, with no added hormones or steroids, Lenard’s is proudly Australian owned.

WHITE’S IGA

QLD COLLABORATION LEADS TO THIRTY YEARS OF SUCCESS FOR TWO Queensland foodie success stories, teaming up has led to a thirty year partnership that has seen both poultry group ‘Lenard’s’ and supermarket retailer ‘White’s IGA’ enjoy the spoils of hard work and determination.

Michael and Roz White, owners of six White’s IGA independent supermarkets on the Sunshine Coast, left their careers in banking to step into the retail industry in 1993, buying a 90m2 Nightowl Convenience Store.

“Our motivation to buy our first store was to remain on the Sunshine Coast and make it our home,” Roz said.

“We slowly bought small and older stores and built them up until we purchased our first IGA store in 2004.

“Our step into retail was a steep learning curve - to say we were green would be the understatement of the century, but we quickly learnt, adapted, worked hard and are still learning new tricks 30 years on.”

The couple now own six IGA stores and believe being independent supermarket operators offers wide scope to build meaningful and enduring relationships with customers, the industry and community.

The Whites are proud to state that many of these partnerships have remained from the very first moment they stepped into the industry.

“Three decades of partnerships feels more like old friends!”

“There is a camaraderie that exists through longevity,” Roz said.

One such relationship to stand the test of time is that with iconic Australian handmade chicken brand, Lenard’s.

“We have stocked Lenard’s products in our stores for as long as I can remember,” Roz said.

“I believe we gained greater access to the products when the brand moved away from the exclusive standalone franchise model.

“Offering our customers this value-add line at the time of availability brought some excitement to our delis and meat offer.”

White’s IGA stocks a large selection of Lenard’s goods, ranging from Enchiladas, Schnitzels Sausages and Kievs, which are stocked in their delis and in their fresh meat sections.

“Where possible we do a block display of Lenard’s products in the meat section to enhance brand presence and provide customers with a broad selection.

“We also stock the popular strudel which can be bought at our instore hot boxes, and they make for an easy snack.”

The journey of Lenard’s growth and establishment was somewhat similar to the White’s, with founder Lenard

ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT THE WORK of Elvis Presley will be gracing the stage at the Coolum Civic Centre for just one night only on Saturday March 23 and this event is unlike any other ‘Elvis’ inspired show with Elvis ‘reimagined’ by Melissa Western.

If that name sounds familiar than it is as chanteuse Melissa Western was the voice behind the recent sold-out show – 1954: Ella, Etta and Eartha and now Melissa is paying a heartfelt homage to the legendary Elvis Presley.

Melissa is renowned for her compelling stage presence and velvety voice and is returning to the Sunshine Coast this March with this very special production,

In this captivating tribute Melissa delves into the extensive musical repertoire and cinematic legacy of the one and only King of Rock and Roll. With meticulous research and unparalleled musical talent, Melissa brings Elvis’s music and acting career to life in this new production.

Melissa explained that the idea for the show came from a conversation with friends Chris and Susan Osborne of Australian Modern.

“At their suggestion I dove into the world of Elvis Presley and promptly fell in love with the music and life story of this extraordinary man.

“Elvis’ career marked a

COOLUM’S NEW ADDITION

turning point not just in popular music but in race relations, celebrity, politics and sexuality.”

Melissa further stated that more than just the music will be on display throughout the show.

“I lovingly unpack some of the stories and backgrounds of this iconic figure and delight in sharing all his well-loved tunes in my own style.

“Performing for Sunshine Coast audiences is always a treat, and I can’t wait to bring this show to the region.”

Spanning 31 movies from Love Me Tender (1956) to Change of Habit (1969), Elvis’ filmography faced criticism for witless jokes and ludicrous narratives. However, no one could deny the enduring magnetism and talent of the King, especially through the timeless music featured in his films.

A look back in time FRANCES WINDOLF

A LONG TIME COOLUM RESIDENT WITH A PASSION FOR LOCAL HISTORY

FAREWELL ROSE COOLUM has had many notable residents over the years, but most people have never known our oldest citizen, Rose Clarke, who passed away at the Coolum Care Centre on February 12 of this year – three and a half months after her 105th birthday.

Rose came to Australia from England, with her parents and younger brother, when she was three years old, arriving in 1922. After a short spell in Melbourne, the family moved to the area of Doolbi, near Childers and, later, the Isis Central Mill, where her father found work in the sugar mills. Eventually she had four brothers and a sister, and enjoyed a happy childhood, roaming through the cane fields, and enjoying the companionship of school friends at the one-teacher school. Rose walked all around the district, even walking several kilometres to town, where she played basketball, and then would walk home again. Once a year her father would drive the whole family to Woodgate or Urangan, where the family would camp in a large marquee tent.

Rose loved helping the teacher in the one-teacher local school and rejoiced in being able to take books from the tiny school collection home to read – Rose recalled that she had read every book in the school before she left in Year 9, because that was the

end of studies in small country schools. Rose went on to work for neighbours doing housework, and then found a job in the kitchen at the local hotel - the only employment available in the local area.

Eventually, Rose met her future husband, Col Clarke, who had come from Allora on the Darling Downs to work at the sugar mill in Childers.

They went to dances and the “pictures” in the local area, became engaged and married.

In 1943 Rose and Col moved to Coolum, where Col worked for his brother-in-law, Cyril Shooter, driving the bus to Yandina and Nambour and back on most weekdays, as well as on Saturdays when

people went to Nambour to shop or to go to “the pictures”. The Clarkes lived in a house on the Esplanade [where accommodation building ‘The Rocks’ stands today] and later moved to Frank Street. Rose became involved in the CWA and the Church of England, while Col enjoyed fishing, and helping when needed at the surf club.

Eventually the Clarkes moved to Yandina and welcomed their daughter, Colleen. Rose was widowed when Col died at 70, and she later moved to Woodgate and Bundaberg, and then back to Coolum to live with Colleen and her family. An avid walker, Rose walked to Senior Citizens and Bingo each week, and moved to Coolum Waters when she was 97, sharing her days there with long-term Coolum friends Bev Gozzard and Jean Keen until she died just this year. We remember Rose fondly.

GET TO KNOW THE CANDIDATES VYING FOR DIVISION 8 VANESSA HALL EDITOR

THIS SATURDAY March 16 Queenslanders are being asked to cast their vote in the Local Government Elections, and on the Sunshine Coast there will be a new Mayor elected. If you live in Division 8 you will be voting in a new councillor with current councillor Jason O’Pray officially pulling out of Division 8 in an effort to win and become the next Sunshine Coast Mayor.

The Advertiser sent out a small selection of questions to each candidate in both Division 8 and 9 and their answers are as follows.

ROSANNA NATOLIIEW

future generations and making sure we remain a sustainable region. We need someone on council who has vision, real local knowledge and the experience to deliver. I am ready to tackle the big picture problems facing our region while also re-focusing council on service delivery to get the little things right, such as improving footpaths and introducing a kerbside clean-up.

FROM YAROOMBA

What is one of your main concerns for the region and how will you address this?

My primary focus is making sure we protect our lifestyle and the identity of our towns. We can achieve this by making sure our new planning scheme reflects community expectations. As a born and raised local, I know that people in the Coolum and North Shore region want to remain low rise and lowkey. We want our coastal area to keep being the type of place that has a soul and a genuine sense of community. As your councillor, I will always fight against inappropriate development because I am on the side of local people, not developers.

Why are you running?

I’m running because I’m passionate about protecting the character of the Sunshine Coast for

What is your background?

I live in Yaroomba with my wife and daughter.

I’m a lawyer and a surfer.

TAYLOR BUNNAG

I grew up on Centenary Heights Road in Coolum with my parents – my dad was a greenskeeper who worked at the Hyatt and mum worked in pathology.

I went to school locally and graduated from Nambour High as School Captain.

I have a double degree Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Journalism from QUT. In 2016, I started my career as a lawyer with Maurice Blackburn in Maroochydore representing catastrophically injured healthcare patients.

Since 2020, I’ve been an industrial lawyer representing everyday working people against some of the largest companies in Australia.

I currently sit on the Queensland Work Health and Safety Board.

Why should people who live in the Coolum and North Shore region vote for you?

I’m the best candidate in Division 8 because of my local knowledge, skills, experience and character. I have not just grown up locally, I’ve grown with our community and understand our shared history. That local knowledge is bolstered by the skills I’ve developed throughout my legal career - problem-solving, forensic attention to detail, diplomacy and diligence.

In terms of my experience, I’ve worked on a variety of complex legal issues

RENOVATIONS | EXTENSIONS | DECKS

0409 577 746 WHERE QUALITY COMES STANDARD

involving large companies.

This experience has been invaluable as I’ve consistently advocated for fairness in the face of adversity for everyday working people, made difficult decisions and given difficult advice. This experience sets me apart from the other candidates.

Finally, character is an important consideration.

People know that when I say I’ll do something, I do it. Equally, I pride myself on being respectful, hardworking and people focused. Being a councillor requires an ability to work with a range of stakeholders and balance competing views. I have a strong track record of bringing people together and working cooperatively with others to achieve the best outcomes possible.

KATHRYN HYMAN FROM MARCOOLA

Why are you running?

I am running because I spend all my spare time doing community work and wish to have more time to dedicate and be more effective. The public interest is a strange hobby!

There are many grassfires throughout Division 8 and beyond, and we will see a new council elected this March. I hope for a new culture and ethos from our council and want to bring local government back to local people, as it should be.

What is one of your main concerns for the region and how will you address this?

Overdevelopment and rate value. We live in a spectacular region and there is a lot of money to be made by land bankers

and developers. We need development and are open for business, but we cannot allow vested interests of the few at the expense of resident rate payers and their assets.

For most people their home is their biggest asset and a priority and focus needs to be brought back to residents who seem to be held in contempt for asking questions around what is happening in their neighbourhoods.

We pay the highest rates in SEQ and have seen again the highest rate increase in SEQ - we pay the highest rates, but we get less for it. I want to see budgets reinstated for basic services such as stormwater management services prior to the wet season, and some of our waste management revenue being directed back to kerbside collect initiatives and the like.

What is your background?

Background in education and five-star small luxury tourism. Have been/am an executive member of many committees involved in the local and state government stakeholder consultations and submissions processes.

I currently work part time in the aged care sector and am coordinator for the Mudjimba Community Hall. These roles have provided an increasing recognition of mobility issues around our built form, and the need for inclusive sport and recreation, open space quantum and community spaces - people need to gather and we must provide for this through the draft planning scheme and its consultation.

Why should people who live in the Coolum and North Shore region vote for you?

I am not a career politician- I have never been aligned or a member of a political party and am committed to local government. I grew up in Division 8, it’s my home and the home is where the heart is. As an executive member of the peak rate payer association over eight years I have

been entrenched in the machinations of council, senior bureaucrats and our planning instruments including those technical aspects of planning. I have sound knowledge in governance and process and understand the ‘how’ in terms of providing good outcomes.

TIM RYAN

FROM COTTONTREE

Why are you running?

I am running in this election to restore the reputation of council workers and give them recognition for their service and stop the sale and subletting of its assets.

What is one of your main concerns for the region and how will you address this?

My concerns are the development of new housing on known flood plains, and I would like to stop it and if not design the drainage.

What is your background?

I have lived on the coast for 58years and worked at the Maroochy shire council for more than 13 years and I drove a cab for 32 years on the coast.

Why should people who live in the Coolum and North Shore region vote for you?

I know the inner workings of the council and would like to put a big input to the airport.

Walter Johnson did not respond to the Advertiser’s questions.

CLEARING STARTS ON GATED COMMUNITY AT YAROOMBA BEACH SITE

THE SOIL has officially been turned with site clearing commencing at the Yaroomba Beach site.

A spokesperson from Developer – The Dennis Family Corporation stated that contractors had begun the clearing works in preparation for earthworks after Sunshine Coast Regional Council issued approval to commence.

“More than 10 years after the last Beachside precinct was delivered, the disused golf course site will be transformed into a premium gated residential community.

“All clearing work is being done in the presence

of a wildlife spotter, in accordance with the fauna management plan approved

by Council and a 20-metrewide vegetation buffer will be retained along David Low Way in line with a vegetation covenant on the site.”

It is expected that hours of work will be 7am until 6pm, Monday through to Saturday, in accordance with Council guidelines.

“Earthworks and the importation of fill will follow to meet stormwater and flood requirements in accordance with the operational works approval and construction access for the works is at the south-western

end of the site, using an existing access off David Low Way. Yaroomba Drive will not be used for access.

In line with workplace health and safety regulations, the site will have no access other than to authorised workpeople and will be secured with fencing.

“The pathway between Beach access #91 to the Yaroomba Meeting Place remains open for use and details for the next stage to expand on the existing Beachside community are being finalised and forecast to be released to market mid-2024.”

GET TO KNOW THE CANDIDATES VYING FOR DIVISION 9 VANESSA HALL EDITOR

DR SUZIE CAMPIN FROM DOONAN EUMUNDI

Why are you running?

Eventually you just need to stop waiting for change and make it happen.

Watching the record of the current council over the last four years and trying to deal with councillors and the bureaucracy was a wake-up call for me. I am running because we need a whole new sweep of councillors who will lift the lid and work together for you. During my campaign I have heard many calls for transparency within the council. People are angry that the council hasn’t listened, hasn’t consulted and has pushed ahead with their own plans regardless.

I am told it is the council bureaucracy running things.

I want to change this.

What is one of your main concerns for the region and how will you address this?

My main concern is getting the Planning Scheme right, so we save our coastline, green spaces, beaches and healthy ocean, protect our lifestyle, have developers here on our terms and we look after our community especially the “working poor”. We need to agree on population growth and not be dictated to by the State Government who are pushing for another 170,000. The planning scheme needs to finally show transport and other infrastructure networks we need so funding can be negotiated, and construction can begin. Up to $40 million has been spent on transport planning with not one new road or bus appearing. There were

opportunities twenty years ago to avoid the chaos we have. For the last four years we have on-again off-again discussions between the three tiers of government with no action. We need our share of Federal and State funds. Because of this procrastination we could now lose opportunities for new Olympics and Paralympics sporting facilities if the delays continue.

What is your background?

I am a town planner, scientist, have studied and worked in tourism planning and also have a PhD in Business Ethics which might be handy.

I have worked advising politicians, managing major development projects, in environmental management, social housing, large funding programs in the arts. Before starting my own businesses, my last paid job was with the Salvation Army where I raised funds for their affordable housing, family support, drug/rehabilitation, domestic violence and atrisk youth programs. I am running because I know how to maximise the impact of your rates and I have the skills across the board to make a big difference right now.

Why should people who live in the Coolum and North Shore region vote for you?

I will be a councillor who remembers I am there to serve you. I’ve seen service levels decline, whilst rates go up. There are blockages in the council decision-making processes, and I can remove them.

I know what can happen in big organisations.

Funding allocated for one project suddenly shifts, recommendations from staff are changed in a blink, funding that was never available is found. I’m onto all of this. It won’t happen on my watch. I call a spade a spade. If I am elected you can guarantee I will lift the lid and let you in. With my background if you elect me I will start the job running.

that every decision that comes out of council is in the residents better interest.

My focus is clear and that is to be the residents representative, to use the organisation of council to service the community and deliver their wants and needs and not be a bureaucratic puppet. I have the experience, knowledge and energy to get the job DUNNE.

BRUCE DUNNE FROM YANDINA CREEK Why are you running?

Quite simply, I’m fed up with the current council and I think that we, the community, deserve better. I want council to keep focused on the community and deliver the services it needs and expects, without increasing the rates. The current council is not listening to the residents. Local government has been given a charter by the State Government of planning for basically roads, rates and rubbish. For many years council has failed with its core responsibilities, instead, pouring much of its resources into big ticket projects like the Maroochydore CBD, the airport, the solar farm, the list goes on. As a local resident, I want more efficiency from council and more attention paid to North of the river.

FROM PEREGIAN BEACH IN DIVISION 9

Why are you running?

I’m standing again because after four years of working for the best interests of the community, I know there is more that can be done for them. There are a number of grassroots projects where I have some good progress which had no funding or delivery timeframes. Including sporting facilities, recreation

What is one of your main concerns for the region and how will you address this?

There are some big issues looming which I am up to date on and ready for - existing and future development applications, the new planning scheme, input into infrastructure and public transport delivery and keeping a close eye on the budget to ease pressure for ratepayers in an environment of major cost escalations.

What is your background?

I am a Division 9 resident who has lived in this area for more than 20 years. After serving 11 years with the Royal Australian Air Force, I completed a Bachelor of Business (Marketing and Management) at the University of the Sunshine Coast. I worked for a number of multinational companies prior to raising my children and was elected as the Councillor for Division 9 of the Sunshine Coast in 2020.

Why should people who live in the Coolum and North Shore region vote for you?

I’m the best candidate for

What is one of your main concerns for the region and how will you address this?

facilities and road upgrades.

I’m concerned these might fall by the wayside if I’m not there to continue to advocate for them.

FOR A will to be validly executed in Queensland, it must be in writing and signed by the willmaker and two witnesses, who must be present together at the time of signing by the willmaker.

If there’s not a validly executed will in place, the intestacy rules kick in and the estate gets distributed in ways that most people wouldn’t really expect or care for. If there’s an old will that’s properly executed, no matter how out of date, it can be expected to trump any new will which is defectively witnessed. These are the cases when the Supreme Court’s power to dispense

requirements and admit an ‘informal will’ to probate can come in very handy.

For an ‘informal will’ to be approved by the Court, a Judge must be satisfied not only that a document purports to state the testamentary intentions of a person, but also that the person intended the document to form the person’s will, an alteration of their will, or a full or partial revocation of their will.

A broad definition of the term ‘document’ assists in such an application because it includes any paper or other material on which there is writing, any disc, tape or other material from

Division 9 because I’ve done the work, I know the issues, I’ve pushed for projects that weren’t planned or funded, and I get things done in the best interest of the community. An example of this is the pathway planning from the Breeze to David Low Way on Noosa land because it’s the safest side.

Making sure Division 9 is included in projects that are well outside of our area is also a priority. Division 9 had no direct benefits from the mass transit project, and I successfully included a park and ride facility in to be considered by the State in their planning. Representing the community over inappropriate development applications means I’ve challenged decisions and been successful in overturning them based on logic, research and community sentiment.

Most of the things I work towards have come from hearing about issues or suggestions from residents and community organisations. I understand the issues in Division 9 and the processes to make things happen. I don’t shy away from challenging the Council organisation or large organisations because it is always about doing what is right for the broader community. which sounds, images, writings or messages are capable of being produced or reproduced. By stretching this definition to its limits, unsigned documents saved on computers have been allowed as informal wills, as have messages sent from a smartphones and digital recordings.

But the ‘document’ can’t just be some notes made in preparation for making a will. ‘Computer wills’ have been found lacking where the document is clearly just a draft and not intended as the will itself. In the leading case this was obvious because the willmaker went on to sign the will in paper form. When the paper will was subsequently lost and the computer record tendered instead, the Court felt it had no choice but to disregard this ‘document’ and return to an earlier properly executed will, giving a far from satisfactory result.

TEENAGERS who have built their own race car while at school, will be showcased at this Sunday’s All Car & Bike Show at Coolum State School.

Students from Sunshine Beach State High School’s Certificate II in Engineering Pathways will be showing off the Le Mans Prototype they built, and senior teacher John Marano could not be prouder.

“It’s not about just putting a car together - it’s the teamwork, software and practical skills that all come together for an endurance race program. This is the ninth car we have built, and we will be racing at Lakeside in the Formula High School competition to culminate the year,” he said.

The race car will be a showpiece at the inaugural All Car & Bike Show on March 17 on the Coolum State School oval, from 9am - 1.30pm. Beautiful motorbikes and cars are registered from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast vying for a swag of trophies. It’s a family-friendly event with a trackless train, rock wall and pedal car rides, face painting, food vans, artisan stalls and raffles.

Organiser and P&C secretary, Stephanie Hartas, said there will be something special for kids as it’s also St Patrick’s Day. “Come and join in the Leprechaun Hunt for some great prizes and a fun morning.”

“There are jaw-dropping

vehicles coming, including classic Italian scooters, gorgeous Ducati motorbikes, tourers, and classic and modern cars that will knock your socks off.”

“Or just come and enjoy the food and rides!”

Vehicle entries can register online or turn up on the day between 7-9am via Barns Lane. Car & Bike show entry is $5 with children under 12 free. More info: trybooking. com/1170006.

Observations TONY GIBSON

A MARCOOLA RESIDENT WHO IS ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

MEDIUM AND BALANCE IT IS World Mental Health Month and in Australia “The Laps for Life” program is being led by Ian Thorpe one of our amazing Olympic Gold Medalist Swimmers. Thorpie has been spreading the word about “Laps for Life”, an annual swimming fundraiser to raise money in support of youth mental health services delivered by Reachout.

Like many other Australians supporting “Laps for Life” several of us at the Coolum pool have been clocking up the laps to support this valuable program.

I have personally set a medium goal and at a medium pace to hopefully ensure I meet my challenge of 31 kilometres.

Continually comparing oneself and judging is not good for your mental health. An article in Psychology Today says:

Dan Purdie

“Measuring the self against others is a modus operandi of the human mind, and in some ways, it can be helpful. The inspiration you feel about someone else’s achievements can rev up the motivation to improve your own life. The recognition that your abilities are a notch above someone else’s can deliver a boost to your self-esteem. But comparisons can be harmful when they leave you feeling chronically inferior or depressed”.

I like balance and the medium effort setting a personal goal. The defi nition of medium is something, such as an intermediate course of action, that occupies a position or represents a condition midway between extremes. I hope I have pitched my goal well to support the “Laps for Life”.

When it comes to mental health and pursuing extremes, I think the ancient sages in the MP

MEMBER FOR NINDERRY EXCITING news this week, with funding secured to relocate Coolum State School’s Stop, Drop and Go area.

During the upcoming Easter school holidays, work will be done to move the drop off area further

down School Road, to stop the traffic trailing back on to the roundabout during peak periods.

This project is an essential step in our ongoing campaign to bust

Dao Te Ching can give us some advice. In Chapter Twenty-Nine (29) “Balance” tells us: “Life itself cannot be improved upon, yet each person can contribute to the betterment of society and the earth. This can be achieved by being balanced and being sensitive to what is happening at the time. The wise person naturally avoids extremes,

excesses and complacency”.

Mindful awareness in activities like swimming and being grateful for our individual gifts helps us in body, spirit and mind daily.

You can visit the “Laps for Life” website on https://www. lapsforlife.com.au/ and donate to Reachout supporting youth mental health services.

congestion and improve safety, preceding the $5million upgrade of the roundabout on Yandina Coolum Road, School Road and South Coolum Road. The roundabout is set to be replaced with a signalled intersection later this year, improving safety for the many students (nearly 50%) who use active transport to get to school.

The project complements other work currently underway on the $3million business case to duplicate the Sunshine Motorway, which will include a new interchange at Coolum, and a new on-off ramp at West Coolum, and also forms a critical part of the school’s new Masterplan that will eventually deliver a new building with 12 classrooms, a new administration and tuckshop.

A huge thank you to Coolum State School Principal Anthony

Ryan who together with the P&C, parents and the wider community has been working hard to get this project across the line.

Thanks also to those residents who raised concerns about the new lighting on David Low, installed as part of the pedestrian and safety upgrades at the Scrub Road intersection. I agree that something needs to be done.

The new lighting is nothing like what TMR had indicated, and last week I wrote to them to ask for it to be reconsidered.

Not only is the lighting excessive and intrusive for neighbouring residents, it will also be very detrimental to the turtles who nest straight across the road at Coolum Beach.

I’m hopeful TMR will listen to the community’s feedback and act on it. Watch this space!
