Coolum Lions support little nippers as summer season kicks off

Call for action over excessive bright lights at intersection VANESSA HALL EDITOR

RESIDENTS living near the intersection of David Low Way and Scrub Road in Coolum Beach say they are fed up with being blinded by street lighting which was installed as part of a Transport and Main Roads (TMR) safety upgrade in 2024, and has prompted ongoing complaints from nearby households. Independent measurements undertaken by Sunshine Coast Council found lighting levels were between three CONTINUED PAGE 2

FIRST AVE RESORT APPROVED PAGE 6 Proving once again just how much they like to hand over money, the Coolum Lions had their big cheque book at the ready recently and made two $2,000 donations to both the Marcoola and Mudjimba SLSC’s nipper programs. The Coolum Lions greatly appreciate the nipper program which provides young people the opportunity to learn surf safety as well as essential life skills, all whilst participating in healthy activities. The official summer 26-27 lifesaving season recently commenced and with that most SLSC’s nipper programs. Coolum Lions have been proudly supporting the local community for 40 years and a key part of what they do is fundraising via raffles at local establishments which then allows them to give back to the local community.

and seven times higher than the applicable average illuminance level of 7.5 lux. Residents David and Vicki James say the intersection is now lit up like a stadium, with light spilling into bedrooms and living areas throughout the night. While welcoming the road improvements and acknowledging the need for pedestrian safety, they are asking that the lighting be reconsidered. “Whilst we all understand that lighting standards must be achieved and safety is paramount, these lights are something you would see along the Bruce Hwy,” David said. The couple claim some property owners have stopped visiting their holiday homes on weekends, while others have sold and moved away because of the lighting. They are particularly concerned about a light pole on the northern side of David Low Way, which they say was not included in plans originally provided to residents. “The lights are not lowlevel lighting as we were led to believe and representations on our behalf to either TMR or Energex have been ignored or dismissed with an overtone of arrogance and without

Game on! No water-logged balls for Coolum FC Funding grant will enable drainage repairs IN WHAT could not be better timing, Coolum Football Club will receive $84,000 to address field drainage issues, reducing disruptions to games and training. The funding is part of the Crisafulli Government’s ‘Games On! Grassroots Infrastructure Program’ with the local football club benefiting from the Round Two funding opportunity which is just one of 72 grassroots sporting clubs across Queensland to share in $30 million for new and upgraded facilities. Coolum FC President Jo Bush said the Games On! project will have a positive impact on more than 800

players at the club, aged from five to 50. “This funding will allow us to improve our drainage and ultimately enable our members to be able to play more football,” Ms Bush said. “The club’s fields are on low-lying land, next to a tidal creek, and have poor drainage, meaning when it rains, we regularly have to close our fields for training and matches. “We wouldn’t be able to do this work without this funding, so thank you to the Queensland Government for the support.” Member for Ninderry Dan

Purdie said the funding for Coolum FC was crucial to the ongoing viability of the club. “The Club currently experiences frequent field closures after periods of wet weather, so better drainage will mean more regular and consistent playing opportunities for club members,” Mr Purdie said. “The funding will help more Coolum locals to be actively involved in sport and create a lasting community legacy for the future.” There are 119 projects already being delivered under Round 1, with 40 projects now complete and 79 underway.

Hospital stats show new e-mobility laws are working

THE CRISAFULLI Government’s nation-leading e-mobility laws have delivered promising early results, with children experiencing serious e-scooter and e-bike injuries falling by more than half, and hundreds of illegal devices seized. There were seven children admitted to Queensland Children’s Hospital for more than 24 hours following serious e-scooter or e-bike incidents – between July and September – compared to 18 admissions between January and March, and 16 admissions between April and June. Queensland Children’s Hospital Director of Paediatric Surgery, Burns and Trauma Professor Roy Kimble said the downward trend was a positive sign. “In previous research, we found that 65 per cent of children injured while riding an e-scooter required surgery. These injuries can be lifechanging and, tragically, some have been fatal,” Pro-

fessor Kimble said. “Seeing fewer children admitted with serious injuries is a welcome development, but I’d remind parents to not become complacent or underestimate the risks associated with these devices. “E-scooters and e-bikes can cause devastating injuries when they are used improperly or without the appropriate safety measures. “Wearing a properly fitted and secured helmet should be non-negotiable, even on short trips. A helmet can mean the difference between a head injury that a child recovers from and one that has lifelong consequences.” Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Tim Nicholls said the injury data was a positive early indication that the tough new laws were making Queensland safer. “Doctors and nurses from across Queensland have told me time and time again about how concerned they are about the serious injuries they see

in our emergency departments linked to e-mobility devices,” Minister Nicholls said. “While it’s still early days, these figures suggest that the Crisafulli Government’s reforms are having an impact, and are helping to improve safety, particularly for Queensland kids.” Minister for Police and Emergency Services Dan Purdie said the Crisafulli Government’s nation-leading e-mobility reforms were making Queensland roads and footpaths safer. “We promised Queenslanders we would deliver tough new e-mobility reforms that crackdown on hoons,” Minister Purdie said. “These reforms are already delivering positive early results with more than 600 illegal e-bikes and e-scooters seized, 2,812 traffic infringement notices issued, and 78 drink riders intercepted by police since July 1.”

If you looked, so did OVER 8,000 locals! Coolum Football Club will benefit from an $84,000 windfall from the state government which will allow them to fix drainage issues. Pictured are Member for Ninderry Dan Purdie with Coolum FC members. Photo: Contributed

COOLUM LAKES Dear editor, I read your article about the proposed 823 dwelling development application lodged by Cairns developer Darren Halpin with interest. I met Mr. Halpin on 24 May, after I found the pop up that he said would be at Tickle Park (it was south of the Surf Club on some grass). I found his answers to our questions of how he would deal with the flooding that occurs on this parcel of land regularly (Coolum Lakes) inadequate. What he is proposing is ecologically unsound - which is why it is zoned rural with flood overlays. This land should not be rezoned to accommodate his development. We were all wondering where the water would go that has been seen to crest at the lip of the Sunshine Motorway - perhaps one of the roofs should be a helicopter pad for evacuations. His claim that the development would provide ‘right size’ housing for older residents is disingenuous. The proposal we saw was higher cost homes that would not necessarily be available to all seniors. Not all of us want to ‘right size’ Mr. Halpin. The roads leading in and out of the proposed development are inadequate now. How are we to cope with construction vehicles and eventually the residents’ vehicles on South Coolum Road? The feedback that the doorknock led to support for the development is also misleading. There have been community meetings that I have attended in which residents have expressed shock at the idea of building on that floodplain. When this DA comes to council, I sincerely hope they can see that this development should never go ahead. I support Mr. Halpin build-

ing his residential community on the coast somewhere, but not on our floodplain. I am sure there are more appropriate locations. Karen Mork, Coolum Beach. ANH DO VISIT Dear editor, An Archibald Prize winner, a qualified lawyer, well- published author, popular TV performer, giver to charities, well- known comedian, immigrant, refugee from a war zone, boat person, child of poverty and a self-described happy refugee. Anh Do brought his talents and happiness to Australia and Noosa last week. More please! Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach. RETIREMENT VILLAGE Dear editor, With the drenching of late, it is timely to give the 823-retirement dwelling proposal on South Coolum Road proper scrutiny. The developer will need to bring in fill, which will cause heavy traffic issues and impact on roads leading into the development. What about the displacement of water which would normally spread out on the floodplain - where does it go? How will insurance companies assess the risk of the properties built on the floodplain? While I hope Brian Anker from Development Watch is correct in assuming that Council will reject this proposal, I am far from optimistic as the LNP State Government can override the Council’s decision. As Mr. Anker said, we do need more housing but is this really an appropriate place for such a project? Robyn Deane, Nambour.

CWA LOVE Dear editor, There’s a quiet revolution breaking out in country halls across Australia, and it isn’t driven by politicians, committees or consultants. It’s being led by women. The revival of the CWA — that grand old brigade of scones, sewing and steel spined kindness — isn’t about nostalgia. Younger women are joining because the world feels wobbly, and they want something solid to hold on to. Long before we invented terms like “community resilience,” the CWA women were practising it. They cooked for families in crisis, checked on neighbours during drought, stitched quilts for fundraisers, and somehow knew who needed help before anyone else did. They didn’t call it leadership. They called it Tuesday. In a time when towns are stretched by cost of living pressures and the frayed edges of social fragmentation, the CWA offers something rare — a place where community still feels whole. Now, from Roma to Ravenshoe, and along the coast, that spirit is rising again. On the Sunshine Coast, the most striking development is the opening of new branches, including a brand new one in

Bli Bli. And this month, Maroochydore is hosting the QCWA State Conference, a gathering that highlights just how central this region has become to the organisation’s future. New members are discovering that the CWA isn’t quaint — it’s a blueprint for how communities survive and thrive. As one young woman put it, “I came for the baking. I stayed because these women know how to hold a town together.” Today’s members bring new tools to old wisdom — digital organising, social media fundraising, and the juggling act of work and family that makes their commitment even more remarkable. They anchor communities when rivers rise, when crops fail, when someone’s world falls apart at 3 pm on an ordinary Thursday. Real strength doesn’t shout. Sometimes it wears an apron, carries a thermos, and calculates on a spreadsheet how many meals will be required for disaster relief workers. The CWA isn’t making a comeback. It’s passing the torch — and Australia is quietly rising with it. Garry Reynolds, Peregian Springs.

Health Spotlight EPIDERMA SKIN CANCER CLINIC

DR JONATHON COLLINS BMBS FRACGP Skin cancer physician and surgeon providing specialist insight and over 30 years’ experience.

UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT: HOW CELEBRITIES HAVE BROUGHT AWARENESS TO MELANOMA SKIN cancer does not discriminate based on fame, wealth, or status and while Hollywood often projects an image of sun-kissed perfection, a number of celebrities have faced the stark reality from this ‘glow’, which is melanoma. The aggressive form of skin cancer, melanoma is primarily triggered by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and has affected numerous high-profile individuals. However, rather than hiding their diagnoses, a growing number of celebrities are using their platforms to spark vital public health conversations. When stars share their personal health battles, the impact on public awareness is measurable. For instance, when Khloe Kardashian revealed her postoperative journey following a melanoma removal, researchers noted a significant surge in Google searches and Wikipedia pageviews regarding skin cancer risks. William Shatner who is well known as Captain Kirk of Star Trek fame also shared

that he had been diagnosed with melanoma and at the age of 92 successfully completed immunotherapy treatment. The danger of melanoma is further underscored by the tragic loss of reggae legend Bob Marley who passed away from acral lentiginous melanoma - a rare form that developed under his toenail proving that skin cancer can affect individuals of all skin tones and in unusual places such as under nails. At my clinic I believe that everyone is already a VIP and deserves the very best when it comes to looking after their health. Best practise methods are employed as well as the leading clinical methods available to treat skin cancer. If melanomas are diagnosed at an early stage there is usually no recurrence or lymph node spread. The most common skin cancers which I see are basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas and If left untreated they can grow quite rapidly and require extensive surgery to remove.

LONG-SERVING Peregian Beach community advocate Barry Cotterell has retired as President of the Peregian Beach Community Association (PBCA), with Alex Murray elected to succeed him. Mr Cotterell thanked those who had worked alongside him throughout PBCA’s history. “I thank all of our members, and in particular past and present members of the Executive, for their support

to pick up the baton.” Mr Cotterell has been involved with the community organisation since before PBCA was incorporated 28 years ago. He served as Vice President from 2004 until 2017 and as President from 2017 until 2026. At PBCA’s September AGM, members unanimously awarded Mr Cotterell Life Membership in recognition of the key role he has played in the Association’s achieve-

ments. Mr Cotterell was presented with his Life Membership certificate by new PBCA President Alex Murray. Ms Murray, who has been a PBCA member since 2018, was unanimously elected as the Association’s new President. “The person holding the presidency has changed, but PBCA’s principles remain the same,” Ms Murray said. “Barry and I have worked together on community issues for many years. We share a strong view that Peregian Beach’s natural environment and its resident community are both special and deserve to be cared for, and that development and change should be judged by whether they deliver genuine community benefit. “That means being prepared to oppose inappropriate

development when necessary, while supporting good development and practical improvements that make Peregian Beach an even better place to live.” About PBCA Over its 28-year history, PBCA has played a significant role in many of the environmental, planning and community issues that have shaped Peregian Beach. The Association grew out of a successful community campaign against a proposed high-rise development in Lorikeet Drive and was incorporated soon afterwards in 1998. It later successfully campaigned for South Peregian Beach to become part of Noosa Shire. PBCA members have also carried out extensive bushland and dune restoration,

removing invasive weeds and planting more than 4,000 native plants, while securing grants for local environmental projects. Planning and development have also been a major part of

PBCA’s work. The Association spent more than a decade working alongside Noosa Council over redevelopment of the former Peregian Beach caravan park, ultimately helping to preserve part of the site for visitor accommodation.

DA approval paves the way for First Ave development VANESSA HALL EDITOR

SUNSHINE Coast developer Scanlon Group has secured development approval for a 43-apartment residential project at 27, 29 and 31 First Avenue, Coolum Beach. The approval clears the way for the four-storey development, which will include a rooftop wellness and residents’ amenity as well as two and three-bedroom residences and there will also be eight ‘Sky Homes’ - four singlestorey and four two-storey

residences. Construction on ‘ORVŌ’ is expected to begin in the first half of 2027 with completion anticipated in the second half of 2028. Scanlon Group Managing Director Tony Scanlon said securing approval was an important milestone for the project and reflected the company’s long-term connection to Coolum and the broader Sunshine Coast. “I’ve called Coolum home for decades, so we’re conscious of our responsibility when we undertake a project

in the area,” Mr Scanlon said. “We’ve taken the time to work through the design and planning process properly and we’re pleased to now have approval to move forward.” Reaction online to the project has been mostly against the proposal with many stating that the street is already busy and congested and many voiced concerns that there should have been public consultation. “Recent Developments in Coolum have put even greater pressure on the infrastructure which is sadly very much

inadequate. This new Development would add to the nightmare that currently exists in this area. Understand housing shortages but surely there are better options available,” Tim Phillips said. “Stick to the town plan! It’s too large a development for this residential area,” Helen Michell added. Most locals living near the sites were under the impression that the development was not in line with the current town plan due to the height and density of the proposal. Cr Maria Suarez stated that

the DA was in keeping with the current approved requirements and zoning for the sites. “It’s a Code assessable application because it meets the zoning and height restrictions that go with the blocks of land. That means there isn’t a formal submission period,” Cr Suarez stated. Scanlon Group has delivered a number of projects across the Sunshine Coast, including Peregian Village Market and Essence of Peregian Beach. Mr Scanlon said the com-

pany would continue to take a long-term approach to the project as it moved into delivery. “We know Coolum well and we understand that developments need to work within the character and expectations of the community,” Mr Scanlon said. “Our focus now is on delivering what has been approved and making sure the project is executed to the standard we expect from a Scanlon Group development.”

THERE’S a new place to shop for unique clothes, jewellery, accessories and homewares in Coolum with ‘Billy St’ officially opening their doors on Thursday October 15 and the opening was cause for celebration. Located on Birtwill St in Coolum, the shop is run by two local women – Adele and Lisa who are showcasing local designers and products as much as possible. Located in the space which used to be known as ‘Nomadi’, the ladies worked with the previous owner and then decided to take a leap of faith and open their own shop in the space and go out on their own. No fast fashion – Billy St stocks quality and well-made pieces which cater to all ages and budgets. “This is basically all our fashion labels that we love and we also want to support local as much as possible,” Lisa said. “There’s so many talented people around here and it’s really important for us to have a beautiful space in Coolum, because there isn’t any others, where people can come and buy something different.” All Photos: Vanessa Hall

COOLUM STATE HIGH SCHOOL

AS THE end of the academic year approaches it’s time to get right behind our seniors at this most pivotal time in their lives. Our year 12s are currently in the thick of their final external exams, something they have been working towards for a long time, and, for some students, the outcome of the exams could play a significant role in shaping the next stage of their journey. Under the current ATAR system, exams in Maths and Science subjects are worth 50% of students’ final grades, while for all other subjects the exams are worth 25%. They are a challenge, but I believe a positive one, as they will reflect students’ preparedness for something with relative high stakes and something that matters. I don’t ever believe we should run away from challenges; I believe we should run towards them. Embracing the challenge allows us to learn that we can get through life’s situations, whatever they are, and often find we are more knowledgeable and capable than we ever thought

we could be. Each year, Coolum High’s students conquer these challenges, with some ending up amongst the highest achievers in the state. I have every confidence that our outstanding teachers have our students well prepared for their upcoming exams. Mind you, I don’t underestimate the size of what is ahead for our young adults. Sometimes, I look at the students’ work and think, did we ever do that? The complexity of the subjects can look, at times, exceptionally high and demanding, and it gives me a deeper respect for the students who apply themselves and take on these subjects. The external exams are running from Monday October 26, to Tuesday, November 17. During this time, Coolum High’s students will be giving their very best, as they always do. As a community, now is the time to get behind them in support like never before and give them every possible reason to succeed. I know just how much our year 12 students value your support!

PRINCIPAL & LICENSEE AT IMAGINE REAL ESTATE SPECIALISING IN SUNSHINE COAST PROPERTY SALES.

A CHANGING MARKET: WHY GOOD INFORMATION MATTERS AFTER 14 years working in real estate on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve learned that every property market has its own rhythm, and every property has its own story. Recently, I’ve noticed homes taking longer to sell and what feels like an increase in the number of properties coming onto the market across our local suburbs. These are my own observations, rather than a measure of the entire market, but they are a reminder of why understanding local conditions matters. For anyone considering selling, I believe it helps to look beyond the headlines and focus on what is happening around your own property. What have similar homes recently sold for? What other properties are buyers choosing between? How does your home compare in terms of price, presentation and location? Recent comparable sales can provide a useful guide, while the asking prices of competing properties show what buyers are currently being asked to consider. The two are not necessarily the same. Feedback from buyers is

also important. Enquiries, inspections and the questions people ask can help indicate how a property is being received. If interest is quieter than expected, it may be worth reviewing the price or marketing approach rather than simply waiting for conditions to change. Of course, there is no single answer that suits everyone. Some people need to sell because of work, family or lifestyle changes, while others have the flexibility to wait. The right decision depends on individual circumstances, not just what is happening in the broader market. Across Coolum, Marcoola, Mudjimba, Pacific Paradise and Twin Waters, properties can attract different levels of interest depending on their location, features and price. Understanding those differences is important when deciding how to approach a sale. My advice is simple: take the time to understand your options, ask questions and seek advice based on your own property and circumstances. Markets will always change, but good information and realistic expectations can help us make better decisions, whatever the conditions.

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES ELECTRONIC signatures, you either love them or hate them. They certainly speed things up in the real estate space. The standard form REIQ contract requires a witness to your signature and initials on all twenty-three pages if you sign with a pen, but nothing but the click of a button if you go digital. We are beginning to accept that the corresponding report that comes with a ‘proper’ digital signature from Docusign or the many other providers is almost as good as old-fashioned witnessing. This is because it shows that the document was accessed through the recipient’s individual email or phone, the signature was applied from their device and the signing steps were completed intentionally. Also, because the entire process is backed by a tamper proof audit trail. But I feel like that’s only part of the story. In recent times more and more financiers have begun requiring electronic signatures for their complicated loan agreements, often across a dozen documents and hundreds

of pages. I used to sit with clients required to obtain independent legal advice and ensure they understood the effect of each document as I witnessed their signatures. Now they listen to my advice before I sign a certificate confirming which documents I have advised upon and they flick through the documents on their phones to the places where a signature is required. If they whole point is for the bank to be able to show that the clients were aware of the specifics of what they were signing, or that they had read through it, I think the process falls well short. I am convinced that eventually there will be a case where a Judge considers how the electronic signature process actually works and decides against the banks. And that’s quite aside from the issues that arise when the Docusign isn’t available to sign then and there and the Docusign packet ends up in the client’s spam folder. The last-minute stress leading up to settlement of the loan would be avoided if we had just signed them up on with pen on paper when they were sitting in the room with their lawyer!

Observations

bers has caused alarm in the tourism and agriculture industries. The Queensland Tourism Council made the following statement - “The government has effectively dismantled the system...a young traveller would not leave the city and complete three months of regional work when there is no longer certainty of receiving a second visa.” It is a wonderful world to share and we need sufficient numbers of backpackers to be attracted to Australia – their visitation both enables and keeps going many regional tourism locations and operators.

TONY GIBSON

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

BACKPACKERS SOME 50 years ago, I spent a year to backpack and work around the wonderful world which I love. It was not always a comfortable journey backpacking which meant I slept on beaches, in hostels and on the floor of rail stations, but the returns were great- the people I met and the places I saw made up for any inconvenient nights of sleep. This experience reminds me of the spiritual journey such as the story told by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche in ‘In Love with the World’. His story tells of a “near-death experience and life changing wisdom” in his travels in India including sleeping on rail station floors. This is a story of the gaining of wisdom and the appreciation of the challenges we all face and the possibility of a path of joyful living. We know what attracts many tourists to Australia - the vastness, traditional culture, and our natural beauty

such as the Great Barrier Reef – these are all attractions to tourists. A recent road trip from the Sunshine Coast to Bowen and the Whitsundays reinforced my appreciation of this great land. On our journey we came across many backpackers experiencing tourism adventures with us like a boat trip, swim and hike at Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsunday Islands. This is the most magnificent beach, made up of pure white silica sand visited by many tourists from around the world. Many of these same backpackers are working in the hospitality industry and working in restaurants, resorts and servicing accommodation. Without the contribution of backpackers working in hospitality, places like the Whitsundays or the Sunshine Coast would find their tourism industry would greatly suffer. The recent federal government changes to visas for backpackers, capping num-

benefits for residents every day.

Sandy Bolton MEMBER FOR NOOSA OUR COASTLINE comes with challenges of erosion, increasing insurance premiums and coastal hazard mapping. Following further questions to the state government, we received clarification on the national approach to coastal hazard management, including $8.4 million in Australian Government funding for ten Queensland projects. One involves developing a regional coastal process model for the Sunshine Coast and Noosa to better understand impacts on our beaches and management options. However, questions remain regarding impacts on property owners and how these will be addressed. For our live music lovers and venues, the Nightlife Economy Action Plan 2026– 2032 includes proposed reductions to liquor licensing fees for grassroots venues and incentives for major touring acts to include Queensland artists. A review of proposed reforms to entertainment sound and noise regulations is planned, i[LH1.1]ncluding sound limits and complaint handling. With the review of these reforms [LH2.1]in 2026 and expected through 2027– 28, we continue advocating for a balance that works for everyone. A longstanding issue has been the need for a fully independent[SB3.1] crime statistics body. With ongoing concerns about conflicting figures, discrepancies in data criteria and reporting frameworks, highlighted further by a recent reporting error, questions remain regarding how

statistics are compiled, presented and independently verified. While the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office has a Crime Statistics and Research Unit, its annual report is released months after the reporting period with queries raised on its ‘independence’. With 80% of respondents to our Annual Noosa Community Survey supporting an independent body, we continue advocating for timely, transparent and accessible information, free from political influence. As I have repeatedly raised in Parliament, whether crime or housing statistics, coastal management or legislation, Queenslanders need confidence in government information and opportunities to question decisions. With parliamentary scrutiny and debate restricted, reforms to strengthen transparency, accountability and representation are essential, regardless of who governs.

Week of heavy rain an urgent reminder to be prepared

VANESSA HALL EDITOR

LAST week’s deluge across the Sunshine Coast has delivered a timely reminder of how quickly severe weather can disrupt daily life, with residents urged to prepare now for the approaching summer storm season. According to Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) figures, a staggering 367.8mm of rain was recorded at Sunshine Coast Airport across the eight daily rainfall readings from Monday, October 19 to Monday, October 26. The heaviest falls included 84.8mm recorded on Friday, October 23, and 79.6mm on Sunday, October 25 - figures

are measured over the 24 hours to 9am each day. The downpours caused widespread flooding across South East Queensland, with more than 140 roads across the Sunshine Coast listed as closed at one stage on Thursday, October 22. The BOM issued flood warnings for several waterways, with minor flooding along the Maroochy and Mooloolah rivers and minor to moderate flooding along Coochin Creek. Further south, the Caboolture region was particularly hard hit, with some areas recording more than 200mm in just a matter of hours. While the rain may have eased, the message from

emergency authorities remains clear – preparation is essential, and when it comes to flooded roads, “if it’s flooded, forget it”. The recent weather follows the launch of Queensland’s annual Get Ready Week campaign, with Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli and Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie encouraging residents to prepare their homes and families for severe weather. “Living on the Sunshine Coast, we enjoy an incredible lifestyle, but we also know our region is no stranger to severe weather and natural hazards,” Mayor Natoli said. “Whether it’s storms, flooding, bushfires, cyclones or heatwaves, these events can

happen quickly and have a significant impact on our homes, businesses and daily lives.” Locals in the Coolum region only have to look back to November last year when a fierce storm lashed the area and caused widespread damage - bringing down trees, damaging properties and leaving roads, including David Low Way, strewn with debris. Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie said taking simple precautions before severe weather strikes could make a significant difference. “Preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow,” Mayor Wilkie said. “Knowing whether your

home is at risk of flooding, having a plan for your family and ensuring essential items are ready to go can help you act quickly and confidently when conditions change.” Residents are encouraged to clear gutters and drains, secure loose outdoor items, check their insurance coverage and prepare an emergency kit containing essential supplies, medications, torches and important documents. Families should also discuss what they would do if severe weather threatened their home, including evacuation arrangements and plans for pets. Motorists are reminded never to attempt to cross flooded roads, regardless of

how familiar the route may be.

BE PREPARED: Visit Get Ready Queensland for practical advice and emergency planning resources. Residents can also monitor road closures and local warnings through the Sunshine Coast Council Disaster Hub or Noosa Council’s disaster dashboard. For emergency assistance during extreme weather, contact the SES on 132 500. In life-threatening situations, call Triple Zero (000).

Shed Music Festival 2026 celebrates music and mateship! IT WAS a huge weekend of all things music, mateship and positive health with the Shed Music Festival 26 taking place from Friday October 16 through to Sunday October 18. Hosted and initiated by the Coolum Men’s Shed, the festival has grown significantly in just three short years and saw people come from across the country to take part in this year’s festival. The weekend kicked off on Friday evening at the Coolum Men’s Shed in Quanda Park with a ‘jam’ and BBQ and

Mayor Rosanna Natoli officially opened the festival and also joined the shedders for a sing-a-long. The festival then moved to the indoor comfort of the Coolum Civic Centre for the remainder of the festival with a diverse range of performances taking to the stage. Winners were also announced in the Queensland Men’ Shed Songwriting Competition with Bruce Uhlorn from the Coolum Men’s Shed declared the winner for his song ‘Neptune Didn’t Claim

Us Today’. Joint Runners-Up were Bob Barford from Coolum Men’s Shed for ‘Sail Away’ and Bruce Richard Morgan from Noosa Men’s Shed for ‘I Am Home (Wherever We Go)’. The competition invited Men’s Shed members from across Queensland to share their stories through original music, celebrating the creativity, experiences and talents that thrive within the Shed movement.

QMSA Chief Executive Officer Frank Pearce said the quality of entries highlighted the remarkable creative talent across Queensland’s Men’s Sheds. “The stories shared through these songs reflect the spirit of the Shed movement, friendship, resilience, humour and a lifetime of experiences. Congratulations to all entrants, and particularly our award recipients, for having the courage to put their creativity on display.” The event was also a

wonderful celebration of community, with Shed members, fellow shedders and the broader community turning out in droves to support their mates. The enthusiasm and encouragement shown during the event reflected the strong friendships and connections that make Men’s Sheds such an important part of community life.

About Men’ Sheds Men’s Sheds provide welcoming spaces where men can

connect, contribute to their communities, learn new skills and support one another’s wellbeing.

Do you have local sports news? We’d love to hear from you!

Peregian Nippers thank volunteers and hosts bushfire info session NEARLY every community group is able to function due to the tireless work from volunteers and the Peregian Nippers program is no different. Despite recent wet and wild beach conditions, volunteers bravely face conditions with no questions asked with a spokesperson for Peregian Nippers singing their praise publicly. “Our dedicated volunteer patrols showed up in force on Saturday and Sunday, serving with passion and in community spirit. Patrol 6 bravely faced the Sunday morning challenging conditions to support our Nipper program. Thank you to all our Nipper Volunteers and families who were still committed to get on the beach.” The markets which take place in the park next to the

beach also hosted a community information session – highlighting the need to be bushfire aware and whilst the recent rain may have settled things a little, complacency is not advised. “Alongside Noosa Council, QLD National Parks, Coolum QFS, and Verrierdale Rural Fire Brigade we can come together to make a difference! “Seven years after the devastating bushfires, our heroic emergency services reunited to share their wisdom and forge a stronger, more resilient community. It was truly humbling to see Trevor our friend and 35-year Peregian Beach Market stallholder veteran, reunite with his Verrierdale Rural Fire Brigade crew, where he proudly served as Captain for over 30 years.” All Photos: Contributed
