ACQUISITION OF PEREGIAN BEACH LAND SECURES HABITAT FOR KOALAS AND OTHER FAUNA

SAND ART SAYS “THANKS” FOR OLYMPIC BEST!

THE STATE Government, in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council, has acquired a 150-hectare property at Peregian Beach for future dedication as a conservation park.

Located on Monak Road, the property shares boundaries with the Doonan Wetland Nature Refuge and Noosa National Park.

Division 9 Councillor Maria Suarez was at the announcement.

“It was great to be part of this exciting announcement about the acquisition of 150ha CONTINUED PAGE 3

Once again local artist Owen Cavanagh has delighted locals and visitors alike with his sand art. On the morning of Sunday August 11, Owen carved a stunning sand art installation on Coolum Main Beach below the boardwalk and this time the piece was a public thanks to the outstanding Australian Olympic Team and their greatest ever medal haul at the Paris Games which finished on Sunday. Like most of us, Owen was up at all hours watching the games and cheering on our athletes. “This is a tribute to our Olympians who have done the best ever at the Paris Olympics. “There’s a map of Australia, the Olympic rings, the year and the words the best and thank you,” Owen said. With the stellar performance by our recent team, anticipation for Brisbane 2032 is building. “Brisbane 2032 I can’t wait, and this has just built the excitement,” Owen said. “Can you imagine a day like today – it’s just going to be awesome.” Being a surfer Owen stated that he really enjoyed watching the surfing but found himself watching all the sports. “I loved it all – the diving, the skateboarding – it’s just all been so cool.” Want to see more of Owen’s art, say hi at his gallery located at 53 Quanda Road, Coolum.

Moving show recounts 20 years of involvement in Afghanistan TO COMMEMORATE the third anniversary of the fall of Kabul in Afghanistan and the subsequent evacuation on August 15, 2021, musician Fred Smith is touring his poignant stage show, Sparrows of Kabul with the moving show taking to the stage at the Coolum Civic Centre on Saturday August 24.

Fred Smith is seen by many as the unofficial storyteller of Australia’s involvement in Afghanistan. The lyrics to his song ‘Sapper’s Lullaby’ are engraved in marble at the Australian plot in the centuries old British War Cemetery in Kabul.

Sparrows of Kabul has been described as a “a beautiful retelling of Australia’s Afghanistan experience…”, “utterly beguiling” and “a must see”.

In 2020, Smith went back to Afghanistan and when Kabul fell under Taliban control, he worked from Kabul Inter-

national Airport (KIA) on Australia’s mission to evacuate passport and visa holders.

His experiences at the human logjams at the gates of the airport are expressed in his new single, “Gates of KIA”.

“Seeing the desperation with my own eyes struck me to the core,” Smith said.

Smith’s unique show comes from years of actual handson experience in the region.

He was the first Australian diplomat to be sent to work alongside Australian soldiers in Uruzgan Province in 2009 and the last to leave in 2013.

He served alongside members from Queensland bases 1RAR (Townsville), 6RAR (Enogerra Barracks) and 2SER. Since returning, Smith has created the new show “Sparrows of Kabul” which is an intertwining of his new songs and stories with his “Dust of Uruzgan” stage show which he

toured to 80 theatres between 2014-18. The new show offers a vivid personal account of Australia’s 20-year involvement in Afghanistan, and marks the culmination of what, for Smith, has been a remarkably sustained piece of storytelling on Australia’s longest war.

“Despite the many challenges during the evacuation mission, the Australian team

managed to get 4,100 people out, most of whom are now living in Australia. Their girls and boys are going to school and having swimming lessons.

We’ve changed people’s lives,” Smith said.

The Sparrows of Kabul tour is presented by local performing arts company Red Chair with the support of the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.

POLICE ARREST COOLUM MAN OVER SERIES OF CAR FIRES IN A STATEMENT released on Thursday August 1, Police stated that they have charged a man following three suspicious car fires in Yaroomba and Coolum on July 18.

The series of car fires on the night unfolded just after 9pm with emergency services were called to Warran Road in Yaroomba following reports a

black Honda CR-V was on fire.

A call was then received around 9.30pm after a green Suzuki Ignis was allegedly set on fire on Tharra Street in Coolum.

Another fire occurred in Warran Road in Yaroomba at 9.45pm after a Mazda 121 hatchback was found to be on fire.

All the fires were extinguished however the three vehicles sustained significant damage.

Investigations led police to arrest a 31-year-old Coolum Beach man on July 30.

He has been charged with three counts of arson – motor vehicle and one count of attempted arson – motor

vehicle.

A Coolum Police spokesperson informed the Advertiser that the incidents were not related to any other larger crimes and were considered to be a one-off incident.

Acquisition of Peregian Beach land secures habitat for Koalas and other fauna FROM PAGE 1

of incredibly ecologically significant land in Peregian Beach.

“The joint acquisition of this property by the State Government and Sunshine Coast Council will provide a critical conservation link between the Maroochy River catchment, Noosa River catchment and beyond.

“The site itself has high biodiversity values and is home to koalas, black cockatoos and probably ground parrots and there are six regional ecosystems of which three are

endangered.

“The land can now be conserved in perpetuity and is free from threats of development or clearing.”

The new conservation park will allow visitors to connect with these protected species in their natural habitat while ensuring the estate continues to foster its unique biodiversity.

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service will work together with Sunshine Coast Council and the Kabi Kabi People to oversee the management of the estate, including pest control and fire management to

ensure the area maintains its significant environmental value for generations to come.

Narelle McCarthy from Sunshine Coast Environment Council (SCEC) was also happy with the announcement.

“This is fantastic news for the region with huge benefits for our adjoining Sunshine Coast and Noosa Biospheres and communities.

“The expansion of the nationally important NoosaMaroochy Wallum Corridor with this important acquisition provides crucial connectivity vital for biodiversity and

threatened species.

“It is particularly significant to see the outstanding values and extent of the conservation estate on Kabi Kabi Country further increased through collaborative partnerships and management given the long-running campaigns first waged by the community over 20 years ago to establish the foundations of this incredibly important Protected Area.

“SCEC is absolutely thrilled with this latest acquisition and looks forward to further additions in future to safeguard habitat and ecosystems.”

SIGNAGE ERECTED TO HELP WITH KANGAROO SAFETY IN A FOLLOW up to our front-page story last edition we can report that Sunshine Coast Council has installed signage between the Palmer Resort and Beachside Yaroomba site.

These newly erected signs are to warn motorists that there is kangaroo activity in the area and to be mindful.

Division 8 Councillor Taylor Bunnag alerted the community to the signs via his socials.

“These signs are on private land or on council owned space, as TMR have not approved additional signage in the road reserve.

“We are continuing to work with a macropod expert and nearby property owners on further measures, which I look forward to providing an update on shortly. For now, please continue to drive slowly in this area.” Photo: Cr Bunnag

HEFTY FINES FOR DOGS CAUGHT OFF LEAD SUNSHINE Coast Council is warning people via signs such as the one above in Stumers Creek that dogs caught off lead in an on-lead area will

face an $806 fine. This new figure is in accordance with new State Government laws.

The Queensland Government has updated the penalty for not effectively controlling your dog in a public place. An on-the-

spot fine will increase to $806.

This includes having a dog off-leash in an on-leash area.

Or, if the dog is in an off-leash area, the owner must be able to control the dog using voice command.

BLUE HEART Dear editor, As the Sunshine Coast has grown, we’ve seen housing and infrastructure encroaching on what used to be expansive flood plains where flood waters could once spread out before making their way to sea.

With global climate uncertainty causing havoc, the Sunshine Coast must be prepared for the unpredictability of cyclones and the effects of extreme weather events bringing heavy flooding.

The Sunshine Coast Council’s Blue Heart project is a great step to mitigating this very real threat to many areas.

Consequently, it is important to acknowledge the Council’s foresight with this project on the lower Maroochy River floodplain, particularly now the Federal Government’s Clean Energy Regulator has formally registered it as the nation’s first blue carbon project.

The Blue Heart project has been developed in partnership with the State Government and Unitywater.

As the Member for Nicklin Rob Skelton said, “This project is leading the way in demonstrating how blue carbon can deliver multiple benefits to coastal communities, including generating alternative income, protecting vital habitat and threatened species, enhancing

water quality and providing for cultural and recreational uses.”

It is reassuring that our Council is protecting the environment of our region and planning for the future with this innovative Blue Heart project.

Robyn Deane, Bli Bli.

CRIME & VOTES Dear editor, As you consider your vote in the upcoming state election it would be beneficial for you to consider the philosophies of both parties. Now look, when an LNP member says in the same breath, “Adult Time for Adult Crime” (reactionary nonsense) and “Gold Star Youth Diversionary Programs,” well, from my perspective, one of

Big or small, we do it all!

these is a complete lie!

What the current right wing in Australia has done is import the Trumpian tactic of saying whatever the general electorate wants to hear in the cause of gaining power, and then doing the absolute opposite. Post Turnbull this is the only way for the current lacklustre candidates to ever be even remotely electable. It appears many are lying, and this is being done on several issues, not only socioeconomic related matters but also climate change and housing. They are simply and obviously lying in an attempt to gain power.

Dylan White, Coolum Beach.

TEACHING HARDSHIPS Dear editor, According to recent reports, Queensland teachers are spending precious teaching time handling behavioural problems in the classroom, their biggest time wasters. Schools are a microcosm of society, often where anti-social behaviour, lack of respect, criminal activities, truancy and all kinds of inappropriate behaviours are manifest. Add social media to the mix, generations are exposed to dysfunction and anarchy, expressed in their daily living.

The main role models for students are their heroes.

Teachers, friends, relatives, sports stars and social media

influencers, play a big part in moulding their attitudes and characters. “Children learn what they live.” For teachers, composition of most classes contain many children from various cultures, with different morals, prejudices, attitudes and backgrounds, which they bring daily into their classroom interactions. We are a multicultural nation, with many children caught between one standard at home and on the streets, and one in the classroom. These may conflict, which often causes disruption.

Teachers are trained to teach the curriculum, not to be sociologists, psychologists and punching bags. However, we see the deterioration of behaviours in our society, the lack of respect and discipline which the law and do-gooders cannot contain or easily reverse, rather enabling, wasting teachers’ expertise which alone cannot be rectified within limited school hours. Teaching future generations how to behave in a public setting such as a classroom, is wrought with complexities from outside, over which they have no control. There will not be much actual teaching going on if children are out of control.

This is the dilemma which our education system is facing daily. Professional support is hindered by professional expectations of teachers. Parents who abdicate, neglecting their roles as disciplinarians and positive role models outside of school hours, are robbing eager

students who attend school for a solid education to take Australia into the future. Australia is in a quality education qualifications crisis, compared with nations which expect high educational standards and performance from schools. Education is not valued or rated a priority among many in our society. School and the classroom are where children learn not only language activities and mathematics, but how to work cooperatively, appropriate social rules and to become responsible, functioning citizens of our communities.

E. Rowe, Marcoola.

COLOURS? Dear editor, Do Boogiemen wear colours - reds (under beds), greenies, rainbow (people), yellow (hordes), colourful characters, black/white (gangs, scarves), purple people-eaters etc, etc?

Just asking for more colourful details.

WIN FOR DLW & MUDJIMBA ESP INTERSECTION

I’M PLEASED to report that funding has been committed for an upgrade to the intersection of David Low Way and Mudjimba Esplanade with work due to start this financial year. The work involves creating a dedicated right-turning lane with extra room to allow traffic which is continuing north to pass by safely.

This is a step in the right direction. I’ve received mixed feedback from the public about whether they wanted to see signals at this intersection or just the right-turning lane. However, I have asked the Department to ensure that design allows for it to be signalised in the future if necessary.

The safety at this intersection has worsened with the increased traffic on the overall network.

Local residents advise that as the Sunshine Motorway has become more congested, more traffic is opting to use David Low Way instead.

After an onsite meeting with the Department of Transport and Main Roads and ongoing advocacy to the Government about upgrading this intersection, I was advised in February this year that the funding submission had progressed. I’m pleased the works have now been confirmed.

MOUNT COOLUM AMENITIES UPDATE

SUNSHINE Coast Council has advised that they have commissioned a consultant to

undertake preliminary design options for an amenities building, new sealed car park and connection of services near the entrance to the Mount Coolum National Park.

This work has to occur before the cost can be determined and funding sought but is a step in the right direction.

The Sunshine Coast community loves Mount Coolum, but the lack of amenities is an issue causing detrimental impact to the local environment as well as upon visitors’ comfort. Getting the location and design right also needs to consider minimising impact on the local residents.

I will keep you informed as more information is available.

LIONS CHILDREN OF COURAGE

RECENTLY, I was honoured to attend the very special Lions Children of Courage Awards. It is always a heartwarming event, celebrating young people who are facing major challenges in their lives with fortitude and courage. These young people regardless of the challenges they are facing are kind, caring, resilient overcomers and so many other things. It was an inspiration to be in their company. The Lions Clubs of Maroochy North Shore and Mooloolaba co-hosted this wonderful event. They’re also true champions!

As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if there is anything that I can be of assistance with contact me care of my office on 5406 7100 or maroochydore@ parliament.qld.gov.au

MOUNT COOLUM AMENITIES

PROGRESS is being made on the longstanding issue of toilet amenities at the base of Mount Coolum. Council commissioned a consultant to complete preliminary design options for providing toilets, a new sealed car park and connection of services for the Mount Coolum walking trail.

This information is now being considered by Council and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, with further investigation and funding required to support subsequent assessments, planning, permits and construction of the preferred option, in relation to both the amenities building and car park. I look forward to sharing more information with our community when we know more.

SUNDEW STREET KERB AND CHANNELLING

I HAVE been engaging with residents in Sundew Street, Mudjimba, regarding the desirability of kerb and channelling.

The results of the community engagement, which included doorknocking, a survey and direct mail, indicated that there was support for this approach. I will be hosting an information forum with Council staff on Au-

gust 17, 2024, at 1.30pm at the Mudjimba Community Hall to discuss the way forward.

HOMELESSNESS WEEK

LAST week was Homelessness Week, which runs from August 5 to 11. I attended the Street Up launch, which is an initiative where people with lived experience share their stories and contribute their ideas and solutions to addressing homelessness.

One of the participants, Ian, shared a powerful message encouraging attendees to look at the big picture, not just what is in front of them when thinking about these issues. I took a lot out of the event. It also reinforces the importance of Council’s recent investment in a public liaison officer, who will assist connecting people sleeping rough in public spaces with support services.

Visit Council’s website to learn more – it may change your perspective on how to be part of the solution.

MEMBER FOR NOOSA TO BEGIN, with a ‘no anchoring zone’ 60m from the southern shoreline commencing on July 15 as part of new river management and greater safety there has been some confusion around access, including the trial exemption for vessels under 5m to access shops and recreational activities. We collated and provided issues to Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) for clarification including around the hitching poles/ transit areas with a response expected shortly. This we will update via ‘Noosa 360’ where information obtained so far and requested links to related legislation is also located, as well as FAQS provided by MSQ. Amongst the confusion online was also misinformation that I was involved in Noosa Council’s Conservation Park concept, which is completely incorrect, and we have posted the facts to www.SandyBolton. com/Noosa360. Must be an election coming up methinks!

During the 2023 Estimates Hearings, we queried how adequate police numbers are determined for a region given the increase we have had in domestic and family violence and mental health callouts since COVID. The Commissioner stated in response at the time that they consider ‘hidden demand’ however, since then, the Queensland Audit Office has conducted a performance audit report called ‘Deploying police resources’. This was

found to be incorrect, and reforms are now being undertaken, as relayed in my questioning during the Community Safety and Legal Affairs Committee 2024 Estimates Hearing, to develop better modelling. As reported previously, ninety-eight additional police officers have been allocated for the Sunshine Coast, and we have requested the amount for Noosa as well as their projected timeline. In addition, the first youth co-responder team for the Sunshine Coast is also in the process, and there is work on the Maroochydore Courthouse to provide improved services for those impacted by Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) underway.

With so much to share and not much space, please stay ’in the loop’ via Noosa 360 with updates on a range of important issues we are working on.

In addition, subscribe to our e-newsletter at www.SandyBolton.com/Newsletters which also ensures you are advised when Noosa specific surveys are held.

Jack Morgan Park came to life on Saturday August 10 with a huge “blast from the past” put on by Cartel Music and Events.

The festival which ran from 11am to 8pm was a homage to the 1950s and featured hula hooping, classic cars, pin-up competition, rockabilly dancing and music, and of course, the king himself, Elvis!

This was the second year of the retro festival with the event team keen to once again use Coolum as a backdrop for the festival in 2025!

UNLEASHED DOG TRAINING THE NEWEST pooch perfect space in the Coolum region had their grand opening and official launch on Saturday August 10 with ‘Unleashed Dog Training’ welcoming owners and dogs to the grand opening.

The huge space will be your one stop shop for all things involving paws with grooming and training the main services on offer.

Owner Shannon said the new space was the perfect addition

to the business after working as a mobile entity for the past seven years.

“We have bought the business now into our nice and new warehouse which is perfect for being able to work in all weather conditions and it means that we have a really nice space where people can come to us.

We can help more people and their dogs because we are not spending so much time on the road travelling.”

Services on offer include behaviour work and private training which is perfect for dogs who have separation issues or are reactive on a lead and dogs that are barking.

Classes galore are also on offer from puppy preschool all the way to sport training and a full range of grooming services is also available.

To find out more about Unleashed Dog Training please visit them in person at 2/236 Quanda Road, Coolum or online at www.unleasheddogtrainers. com

INTERNATIONAL WILLS A WILL is a very formal document, and it is important to understand that the ‘formalities’ for making a will in another country may not be exactly the same as those in Australia.

All Australian states, and many countries with roots in the British legal system, require a will to be in writing and signed by the will maker in the presence of two witnesses, who must then also sign the will in the presence of the will maker.

The law of Ethiopia, to take a random example, requires a ‘public will’ to be ‘read in the presence of the testator and four witnesses’, then signed by all five persons. Alternatively, Ethiopian will-makers can make a ‘holographic will’, basically a will in their own handwriting, without any witnesses at all.

They can even make an ‘oral will’ before two witnesses, who are present together, provided they are of the belief that they are going to die within a ‘short period of time’.

To really push the point, Tolkien fans will know that, while it is probably not a real place, ‘Hobbiton’ wills require seven witnesses, who must sign in red ink!

The lack of uniformity be-

tween countries led to an international Convention Providing a Uniform Law on the Form of an International Will which was passed in 1973. Australia signed up immediately, as we do, but took until 2015 to enter into force. Subsequently, all Australian states and territories have passed legislation giving effect to the Convention.

Problem is, we are one of only thirteen countries to do so, and the list of countries is patchy as far as countries with significant ex-pat communities in Australia goes. Italy, Croatia and Cyprus are on the list, along with France, Portugal and others. However, the UK and Ireland, Greece, the Netherlands, The Philippines, South Africa and New Zealand are missing.

As much as International Wills are a good idea, there have always been logistical questions about how exactly you get a will admitted to probate in multiple jurisdictions, when any Court worth its salt will require the original document with the application and will wish to retain it even after the matter is complete. Given this dilemma and the general lack of coverage by the scheme, best practice, by and large, remains to ensure you have a valid will in any country in which you hold assets.

It's swooping season: Tips to protect yourself Some native birds, like magpies, can act defensively to protect their territory, their nests and their young. On the Sunshine Coast, this usually happens between July and November each year. Please be tolerant of these protected and iconic native birds if you walk or ride near nests. Search “defensive birds” on Council’s website for tips on how to protect yourself.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE! AT TIMES, as a school Principal, it’s important to cast forward in terms of the future of education in our country and look at where things are going.

The first thing I can say, categorically, is that education is, if anything, more important than ever. Our country needs skilled young people who have a disposition towards innovation and lifelong personal growth and development. We have to be able to adapt and innovate to take our place as a country in a changing world.

Researchers are continuing to show a decline in mental

health, especially amongst the young, and especially since the introduction of social media. At some stage, the education system, along with a range of other factors in our society, will need to definitively address this issue and aim to provide guidelines around screen time and the things that are available online. As parents, carers and educators, we will need to be strong around the limits we place on children’s access to screens and devices and get back to the wonders and joys of nature and simple “down time.”

Coolum State High School has already made a significant

OLYMPICS SUCCESS

| 11

WE HAVE seen a wonderful success story unfolding with 18 gold medals at the Paris Olympics - the highest ever achieved by an Australian team, and the Sunshine Coast had many athletes preparing for the games here.

Athletes have represented Australia at the highest level, and many have achieved bronze, silver and gold medals.

It is a magnificent effort and everyone who competed or who supported the team deserves our thanks.

In our viewing of the Olympics we have seen “Olympic Dreams” fulfilled with excellence in sport. Also, we have been given an insight into French culture, history, and the environment through the TV broadcasts. Of course this has given us the opportunity to consider when it becomes Brisbane and Queensland’s turn, how could we do it differently? The Sunshine Coast Mayor travelled to Paris as part of a delegation to see how Paris staged the Olympics.

We are fortunate that currently we do not have the population problems of Paris or LA in Southeast Queensland, but we have to ensure we plan around challenges like lack of transport infrastructure, cli-

mate change, coastal lowlands and increasing population pressures. What attracts travellers to Australia is the vastness, traditional culture, the Great Barrier Reef, beaches, and our wonderful natural environment, so tourists will come.

There is no doubting the rich culture of France and its peoples. However, Australia is fortunate to possess the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture which is the oldest continuing culture in the world. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have passed down their culture to their next generations for the past 65,000 years.

It was unfortunate that athletes at the Paris Olympics were exposed to the unhealthy environment of the Seine River becoming sick with bacteria and e coli. Similarly, we don’t want swimmers going into the Brisbane River as there are plenty of clean, blue and healthy waterways for Olympic events here on the Sunshine Coast.

In going for sporting excellence in hosting the Olympics we should focus on health and wellbeing, combining modern sport and health science with ancient traditional approaches. “Vive la difference” - 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games!

investment in health, headlined by the magnificent ‘Wandama Health Hub’ that has supported so many students towards their chosen careers. The health sector is currently the nation’s largest employer and the fastest growing, and it offers so many wonderful career opportunities for our students.

Of so much importance to me is that Coolum State High School continues to be a beacon of excellence in public education and continues to produce graduates at the highest levels. These students invariably become the engineers, health practitioners, educators, artists, pilots and leaders that help to shape our community and define the future.

Another area of significant investment at our school is in digital design, including the use of 3D printers, laser cutters and drones as we leverage

technology to make a more sustainable future. The Coolum High ‘Robotics Academy’ allows students to think innovatively and creatively in ways that will be very useful for the future. All of these technologies will only continue to grow, and we need to be able to grow with the thinking that supports them.

Last but not least, will be an increasing focus on relationships as the cornerstone of wellbeing. In an increasingly technological age, with more online interaction but less faceto-face communication, with more gaming but less playing, more than ever we need to work with our young people on how we create the relationships that sustain us for a lifetime.

There’s a lot to do, and a lot of areas to focus on. At Coolum State High, I’d like to think we’re up to the task!
