Memorial Drive Streetscape Community Design Workshop

Fifty people attended a workshop held by the Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) 4 May at the Imperial Hotel in Eumundi.

SCC has been working with the Eumundi community to develop a shared vision for Memorial Dr as part of the ‘Eumundi Placemaking Streetscape Community Design’ process.

Attendees included local residents, business

owners, council staff and Div. 10 Cr David Law. Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ online survey in November last year invited feedback to gather community ideas. This workshop used that feedback to translate the vision into a streetscape design. The project budget allows for $150,000 for design and engagement phase and $750,000 for construction.

Nominations for these awards are now closed.

You are invited to celebrate the awardees at Joe’s Bar & Grill Thursday 27 May from 5pm RSVP: text Pam 0419 686 772 by Monday 24 May to reserve your seat Cost: $35, 2 course meal, payable at the door Guest Speaker: Dr Sarah Rose, Eumundi Dental Music: Students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College

We believe in giving - to our community, our clients and our colleagues.

Thank you to our community for your support over the past 10 years.

There’s a bigger reason as to why we do real estate and being able to give back is our passion. We look forward to continue giving the hinterland community our very best for the next 10 years and beyond.

The design and placemaking team looked at how the street is currently used by pedestrians (or want to use it), how the street can be ‘greened’, parking and traffic in the town centre area and ‘character and heritage’ factors that can be considered.

The presenters outlined the ideas gathered so far from community feedback. They explained how council had gained a better understanding of the opportunities and constraints of the town’s potential future new look.

The final part of the workshop was an interactive session where participants contributed their ideas for the design and workshopped the priorities for the desired look and feel of the main street. Photo boards helped identify character trends that were liked and disliked and to highlight those elements of the project which should be prioritised.

A variety of techniques and methodologies were used to identify ideas, from a diverse and at times divergent set of ideas about who we are, what makes us special and what we should look like to the world. There were opportunities for group work, discussion and a session using stickon coloured dots to show the likes and dislikes of ‘looks’ for our town.

Making selections

Introduction to the workshop

During these sessions there was a deep sense of the past and how our placemaking may be developed in a way that would have pleased past generations and be beautiful and functional for future generations.

The council design team will take the information gathered from the workshop and develop a streetscape concept design, which will be presented towards the end of 2021 with further opportunities for input.

Place themes and stories

One local, more used to large construction projects said, ‘’we should not let a small budget stop us from planning big and approaching our town upgrade in our time, with our hopes and dreams, by partnering with organisations and applying for grants we will get what we want and deserve.”

David the Brekky Club coordinator

The Brekky Club Approximately one in five children in Australia start the school day without breakfast, and 15% arrive at school without lunch or the money to buy it from the canteen.

In 2017 the Waves of Kindness charity purchased a second-hand refrigerated van and began the School Breakfast Club currently supporting ten schools from Sunshine Beach to Kin Kin. Each school week, Waves of Kindness arranges a pick-up of food supplies from Foodbank in Brisbane and supplements this with store gift vouchers from local supermarkets. They then liaise with the chaplains at each school, organise the orders and at 6.30am on Wednesday mornings ‘The Brekky Club’ van commences delivering to each school.

A free breakfast is offered at participating schools enabling up to 1400 children each week to start the day with a nutritious meal in a safe environment. Breakfasts include cereal, fruit, toast, juice and milk. Volunteers help the schools

The Waves of Kindness charity purchases additional supplies, maintains the refrigerated vehicle, stores supplies in a refrigerated unit and employs delivery staff who coordinate the weekly deliveries. The charity also supplies the schools with equipment including toasters, sandwich makers and kettles.

Schools participating in the School Breakfast Club include primary schools at Noosaville, Tewantin, Cooroy, Pomona, Kin Kin, Sunshine Beach and Cooran. Also, Sunshine Beach Secondary and Noosa District campuses.

With more schools showing interest in the programme, Waves of Kindness are looking to purchase a more reliable and larger refrigerated van with doors opening on all sides for easier access.

Community news Eumundi gin sales in May to benefit families in Nepal and India The Imperial Hotel and Eumundi Distillers have announced they will donate 100% of the sales from their Folktale Gin to registered charity Forget Me Not Australia for the rest of the month of May. The goal is to help purchase PPE, funeral items and food to help families in Nepal and India.

Hotel and Distillery Manager Paul Thomas says Eumundi Distillers and Folktale Gin have a long association with Forget Me Not–a Queenslandbased registered charity serving to honour the rights of children in India and Nepal by working to ensure children are thriving, vibrant and connected to family, community and opportunity.

Paul explained, “Each bottle of Folktale Gin is embellished with a beautiful, beaded tassel– made for us by Banaras Beads in Delhi, who are also strong supporters of Forget Me Not projects in India.”

“We’ve been absolutely gutted to receive the news that the managing director of Banaras Beads, our friend Akash Gupta has passed away due to Covid19. Akash was a fit 48-year-old man, a husband and father of two little girls. He had visited the projects in Kalyanpuri Slums and was diagnosed 48 hours later with Covid19.

Luckily the team at Forget Me Not Australia has the people on the ground in India and Nepal to ensure funds directly assist people in their time of need.”

Real-time data for decision making Under the Sunshine Coast Council’s Smart City Framework, advanced technology sensors have been installed in Woombye to record people’s movement, water use, and ambient temperatures.

The pilot project’s 10 sensors on poles and 20 car parking bay sensors along Blackall St are designed to capture the length of stay in parking bays, usage volume, peak times of use, people movement, and public space utilisation.

Council says data collected will provide accurate information to inform future decision making for improved public spaces and maintenance.

Council spokesperson, Cr Johnston said, ‘Capturing real-time data is becoming increasingly important to council because it provides definitive information which shows us how we can improve the way we plan for the future and deliver more efficient service and infrastructure for the Sunshine Coast community.’

Local residents and business owners are also watching with interest. Concerned about Woombye’s future, they hope that data from the pilot project will deliver positive results and plenty of parking availability.

The group delivers to community members and families in need through links with schools, Noosa Council, community organisations and its own youth services.

Birgit spoke about her experience: “Volunteering is the backbone of our country; without volunteers I think Australia would stop. There are so many people giving so much of themselves every single day, every single night.

“At Urban Angels we have 50 volunteers on weekly roster who cook 2500 meals in this small kitchen. We package and freeze the meals for free distribution. It’s a lot of work, a lot of planning and our team is so committed. They believe in what we do.

“Our meals are tasty and nutritious—but we are more than just a free meal service. We use the meals as a tool for community engagement. It brings volunteers from all different walks of life.

And it’s a beautiful way of connecting so many

Meet a local

Sustainable food independence Eumundi Voice’s time with Jason Thompson showed his passion for sustainable practices for food independence and self-sufficiency. Jason shares his ideas for practical lessons in the choices we make and links to the Cooroy Community Garden.

When did you first recognise your interest in permaculture?

In 1989, aged 16, I found permaculture through Bill Mollison (author of Permaculture: A Designer’s Manual) whose message was an opportunity for me to witness a picture broader than the ‘organic’ practices my grandparents had taught me a decade earlier.

Where else did you develop your ideas?

During the 90s I travelled on a mountain bike for nearly seven years, experiencing a wide range of cultures, climates, growing regions, community co-ops and education centres. I was fortunate to learn and lecture on topics of nutritional farming, redefining organic standards, community support agriculture, alternative transport advocacy, permaculture and sustainable housing designs such as Earthships.

And now?

I have spent the last two decades based on the coast, raising family, running gardens, with time as the president of Noosa Community Radio station, while helping people with power efficiency, mentoring and all things good for future generations, and spreading my passion 16

for ecology and sustainability.

What is your message about sustainability?

I want to help individual properties transition from potential sustainable practices into viable lifestyles resulting in improved overall health. My aims are to educate people how to have more— by buying less—especially when it comes to organically grown food and resources like power and water. Put simply, this means having more food in your garden, it means less money spent on food and fuel…but more time with family, in the garden, in nature, in the kitchen, and inevitably better health as new habits develop and expenses reduce.

What about our health?

As our bodies constantly replenish our cells, it makes sense to me that what we feed our bodies, becomes our bodies. I see this as liberating in the knowledge that it’s possible to undo the wear and tear our bodies have endured with a vital shift in choices, lifestyles and consumption for the good of our future selves.

How have you connected with the Cooroy Garden?

My involvement with Noosa Permaculture’s Community Garden has been to take on the task of building a living workshop space of mixed practices that provides educational opportunities in the field of food security and sustainability principles. We are really excited for the outcomes that bring community together, building friendships and raise families as kin— like the villages of yesterday as hubs of creation.

How can people connect with you?

Walk for domestic violence awareness May 5 saw more than 300 people gathered to show their support to victims of domestic and family violence. This candlelight vigil and march was part of Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month across Queensland which hopes to send a clear message that such violence must stop.

Centacare Sunshine Coast Area Manager Adam Beck said, “Centacare’s services across the Sunshine Coast focus on risk assessment, safety planning, advocacy, court support and strong collaboration with Police, Child Safety and our community agencies.” (SCC media release 6 May).

Cancer fundraiser

Captain Morgan’s revenge A light-hearted story about fundraising for rare RefuellingatGoldie cancers Morgan Park Raceway, Warwick.

I get a phone call in December from friend Nick Tomkinson: “Hey Rob, want to join our team and have a drive?” The drive was a 24-hour race at Morgan Park, Warwick to raise awareness and funds to help find solutions to fight rare cancers which are massive killers here in Australia.

“Silly question,” I said. “Say no more.” I was in like Flynn.

This is a race over three days and roughly 24 hours. There are 27 teams entered and the car must come in under $5000 according to the Redbook. BMW is the most popular, followed by Audi, Falcon, Holden, Escort TX3, Hyundai Excel and a mixture of other older mongrels.

Nick is the owner of a ‘92 model BMW affectionately named Goldie. Now Goldie had been tucked away under a tree with a tarpaulin for 18 months, and apart from a large branch landing on her roof, “she is ready to go”—claims Nick. Well, almost…

Lee, one of the five highly skilled drivers planning to pilot Goldie for three long days, is going to help prepare her. But he decides he should get a pacemaker installed first—in his chest, not Goldie’s. So, a lot of the work falls back on to Nick. Ben my son, takes on team manager position to take care of all the specifics and work out a budget. Daryl is another driver from up north, and like Lee and Nick and has a ten-hour drive to Warwick.

My grandson Marnix, 13, has the job of communications and fuel crew with Jason. I decide that as Ben has been able to procure a beautiful older house for us all to stay in at Warwick—many thanks go to the Buccini family—I will be the catering officer and make sure we are well fed each morning and night.

Allen, our ‘Stig’ from Melbourne, has been sitting on the Covid19 fence for months, wondering if he is going to make it. Turns out he is an absolute wiz and a great asset to our team. None of us has ever met him but we very quickly made him feel right at home. Poor bloke wondered what he got himself into. His lady Alice, a highly qualified nurse, who has been working feverishly all through Covid19 at the Alfred Hospital Melbourne, also fitted in well. Jason, a long-time friend of Nick’s, and his father-in-law Chris were part of our pit crew and we worked them very hard.

Day 1 practice and the radiator header tank let go. How can that be? It is only 20 years old and only raced half its life. A Queensland-wide search finds one in Brisbane and Lee finds himself on a courier job.

to the metal they were and not just once. Oh well, you live and learn. Jason and Lee are now experts on quick pad changes. Apart from that, a few tweaks were required here and there, with one day to go.

That didn’t make it. Nothing that a good cut and polish won’t fix! written off. Allen has this gleam in his eye. We go see the poor car laying smashed and forlorn out the back. Can we pinch the header tank? Quick!

A No 10 screwdriver and spanner and we have it and set about fitting it to our Goldie.

“Yes, it will do.” Then Daryl spots a crack from its recent sad prang. We have to wait for Lee, who is by now one hour away on his way back from Brisbane. We fit the new header tank and back out to get some laps.

Day 2 and Goldie has an overheating differential.

In she comes with more smoke than James Bond could dream about. Jason and Lee have the car up on stands and Nick has a spare diff.

An hour later, and we are on the road again, circulating with the fast cars and doing well. In comes Goldie for a drink and driver change and as she drives off, a bolt appears on the concrete and it is quite obvious that it belongs to Goldie.

Where has that come from? Bring her in and up on the jacks! Allen the wiz from Melbourne, finds that there are only two bolts in the tail shaft.

There should be four. Quick fix and off she goes again.

Now we find our weakest link! Whose decision was it to buy those cheap brake pads? Down

26-27 June

Last day! We are now all experts and now it’s all about finishing. “Nurse Goldie, please,” Nick cried.

We did, but what can you do about ‘red mist’?

This is not something that Goldie’s demisting system could handle.

Common sense took over when they took me out of the car, and let Ben nurse her for the last half hour. We finished and with much slapping of backs and sighs of relief, started talking about what we should do next time.

We finished sixth in our class, which is very good considering we lost half a day. A great four days of camaraderie and good friendship. Many thanks to Nick, Ben, Lee, Allen, Marnix, Daryl and of course, Jason and Chris.

We did get a gong for raising the most money for the Rare Cancer Australia cause. Proud of that.

What is a flight path?

Victor Craig

Aircraft paths Runway 13 over CooroyEumundi (courtesy V Craig)

The Rotary Club of Eumundi hosted a presentation

by Victor Craig, a highly experienced aviation consultant, who provided a detailed and balanced explanation of flight paths, noise levels and regulations on Thursday 6 May. The presentation by Victor Craig was based on public domain documents from the Sunshine Coast Council, Air Services Australia and Bureau of Meteorology to develop his reasoning behind why the airport “was good for the region economically, to improve connectivity, attract business and tourism....while local residents are quite conscious of aircraft overhead and the noise emanating from this”.

Runway 31 (for planes taking off to the north) and Runway 13 (for planes taking off to the south) are the same runway but named in this way as a convention. Victor shared wind roses which showed that most winds in the area are from the south-east, making the orientation of the new runway the most effective orientation, and favouring runway 13 with arrivals routed in from the north and departures out to sea.

He explained that the published flight paths do not mean that planes fly precisely along the red line but will use the broader path (in yellow), and that pilots will allow for wind drift (for example south-east winds) by flying to some extent outside of the yellow area and “tracking inside the curve”.

Noise from aircraft can be heard possibly two or more kilometres further from the yellow path, 22

as Victor characterised it, “an annoying whine” which is particularly noticeable when residents are more used to quiet. “Noise is not confined to just under these routes. It spreads way out. I can hear it more than 2km away. Even at 3500 feet I can hear them”.

He explained that the old runway (north-south) could not continue to be used because of a regulatory non-compliance and the need for the new runway to be elevated to prevent future flooding.

Possible growth of the airport was also outlined.

Victor showed information about planned longer-term development of the airport from its present “peak capacity” of 11-12 aircraft movements per hour. This was dependent on significant investment in further infrastructure development such as a complete parallel taxiway to the runway, and increased capacity in the terminal for greater numbers of passengers.

Besides the current short-haul medium jets, the aircraft that can use the runway—based on factors such as runway length and air temperature—include Boeing 777, Boeing 797, Airbus 330 and Airbus 350 with a “market reach” extending to the Middle East, Asia and the west coast of North America. Both commercial and general aviation will use 13/31 with a forecast by 2040 of annual aircraft movements of 17,800 (commercial) and 32,000 (general).

This translated into “derived peak hour aircraft movements” of 6 (commercial) and 11 (general

aviation).

Victor also showed diagrams of noise levels around the airport. These Aircraft Noise Exposure Contours are a subjective “index of expected community response” rather than an objective level of noise. Noise levels that exceed 70dB (decibels) are seen as intolerable, and above 85 are potentially harmful. One diagram shown suggested that Mudjimba is “not sustainable for residential purposes” and that the Lake Weyba and Yandina Creek communities were also most affected.

When asked by an audience member, “What can we do?” Victor felt that there was not much choice as aircraft paths are effectively dictated by the runway orientation. He outlined possible alternate arrival routes more over the northern forests but suggested this may just move the problem to new areas.

The session was very well received by the audience, who congratulated Victor on the clarity and research behind his presentation.

The Flightradar screen shot of this same aircraft’s track shows the dog-leg between Cooroy and Eumundi. It also shows the aircraft travelled as far away as Kybong before it turned towards the coast—demonstrating that pilots may choose a range of routes to Sunshine Coast airport.

Namba Tree Nambour got its name from a rare and special tree, now extinct in the wild. A rare red-flowered Melaleuca quinquenervia or paperbark once grew on the banks of Petrie Creek in Nambour where the show grounds are now and where Kabi Kabi people had always camped. Tom Petrie (1862) called it “a great corroboree centre”.

4 Your Petz

“Namba” was their name for this local redflowering mutation, and for its bark which they slept on and under, and for going to sleep (“going under the blanket”).

New owners of the 4 Your Petz shop at the Eumundi Square markets are Danni and Greg Clarke. They moved into their new Eumundi home in April after the decision to leave Melbourne to seek a healthier lifestyle. Since then they have been busy learning the ropes for the business and revamping their home with the help of local tradies and suppliers. They are now ready to enjoy life as stall holders.

Common cream-flowered paperbarks or Melaleuca quinquenervia grow down the east coast to Sydney. They flower over the coming months. Long-lived, beautiful and versatile, they give shelter, nectar and pollen to many insects and animals, slow down water and wind speed, and are ideal for effluent dispersal areas. They tolerate poor drainage, frost and a wide range of soils.

Detail from a prize-winning quilt at the 2019 Kenilworth Quilt & Craft Show

Kenilworth Quilt Show This year the Kenilworth Quilt Show will run on 5-6 June from 10am-4pm at the Kenilworth Community Hall. The theme is ‘Love is in the Air’.

As well as an extensive display of quilts there are many items to purchase, including locally crafted woodwork. Home-made morning and afternoon teas and lunch are available. Wheelchair access available.

Museum renovation update Whilst it is undeniable that the home of the museum was originally a church, numerous changes have occurred over the years. The block was the site of Eumundi’s first church, a Salvation Army barracks, built in 1893. This was purchased by the Methodist Church in 1904 and replaced with the current larger building in 1911 at a cost of £200.

The church received internal renovations in 1930, and more significant structural changes in 1941 including the installation of electricity.

Then, in the late 1950s, asbestos walls were installed and the front façade had a major

Eumundi’s first church, circa 1909 reconstruction. Photographs show that two arched windows were built to accommodate the current portico, and it was a surprise to discover the original front doorway was also arched.

The church was sold to the Eumundi Historical Assn in 1995. The Eumundi Museum, which had been housed in the old cane cutter’s barracks (now painted pink) across the street, was moved into the old church. Extensions were added to the rear in 2006, and Wan’din’in Art and Meeting Place was opened in 2015.

The current renovation project is designed to accommodate temporary and touring exhibitions, as well as new displays about Eumundi’s rich history.

Coup for the Coast with Women’s Origin final The Qld Maroons and NSW women’s Ampol State of Origin teams play off for this year’s final thriller at the Sunshine Coast Stadium on 25 June. Both teams have female coaches with former Jillaroo’s teammates Tahnee Norris (Qld) and Kylie Hilder (NSW) guiding their respective states in 2021.

Qld Captain Ali Brigginshaw says she is delighted to be lining up against the NSW team again. Last year’s win was played under trying Covid conditions with pre-match quarantine, testing training conditions and limited crowd attendance. The result was considered a surprise breakthrough, even though Qld holds the current record by winning every series from 1999 to 2014.

RL icon Tommy, with Smart Pup Tommy and Ms Fielding

Tommy Raudonikis and Smart Pup Tommy Rugby League icon Tommy Raudonikis was farewelled recently at an emotional memorial service at the Sydney Cricket Ground, lauded as an inimitable and beloved character.

He left behind a wealth of stories from his career, which spanned more than 400 games across all competitions at the elite level.

Katie Rose charity golf day is about to hit off Gather golfing friends and family for an outstanding day of golf at Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort whilst raising funds for Katie Rose Cottage Hospice in Doonan for the inaugural event 23 May. 26

One of the stories was about Tommy’s generous support for the Sunshine Coast’s Smart Pups charity headquartered in Cooroy. In 2017 a Smart Pup was named Tommy in honour of Tommy Raudonikis at Smart Pup’s annual Paddo Tavern luncheon in Brisbane. Smart Pup Tommy lives with the Fielding family in Bathurst.

The Wests Tigers versus Gold Coast Titans game at Campbelltown Stadium recently was endorsed as the Tommy Raudonikis tribute game and Smart Pup Tommy formed part of a guard of honour.

Children at Kin Kin meeting Gu’la

Kids for koalas Two local retirees spend much of their time passing on a love for koalas to ensure the next generation becomes concerned about diminishing numbers.

Tewantin resident Bernard Jean, a wildlife photographer and koala rescuer regularly checks known habitats for sickness, injury or new joeys.

Bernard recognises each by their unique nose and gives each a name. His most photographed resident features in Bernard’s book Cuddles the Koala of Tea Tree Bay. With Eileen Walder, a long time Eumundi resident and Queensland Koala Crusader, Bernard visits local schools presenting students with information to overcome misunderstandings and myths about koalas.

Their recent visit to Kin Kin School with Gu’la the cuddly giant koala, aroused much excitement and great interest from the youngsters.

Eileen and Bernard believe children must stir their parents into action to prevent destruction of habitats, to slow down when driving in koala

Bernard reports that Eileen, Bernard and tourists may never see 13yo Keda at Wildlife a koala again in Noosa HQ Wild Koala Day National Park or coastal areas due to the drought years, bushfires, visitor behaviour causing stress, dog attacks and sick animals not reported soon enough. Now the recent rains also mean their new locations provide ample succulent leaves so koalas may be reluctant to return to the dangers and loss of habitat here.

On Wild Koala Day on 3 May Bernard and Eileen visited Wildlife HQ, the sanctuary beside the Big Pineapple, where they distributed free toy koalas to children who met Gu’la. Some students from Kin Kin School brought their parents along to learn more.

Besides organising fundraising bingo nights, raffles and stalls, Eileen has knitted hundreds of koala characters, who have found homes all over the world, and has donated proceeds to QKC. To report a sick or dead koala call 1300ANIMAL. Even a dead mother may have a live joey.

To book a school visit or for a knitted koala contact Eileen 0420939723. See www. koalacrusaders.org.au.

National Volunteer Week This week is National Volunteer Week, a time to stop and say thanks to the many volunteers that play such an important role in our community. Eumundi is a perfect example of just how much volunteers contribute. From the markets, our local service clubs and business, community groups, the school, grassroots sports and recreational activities, including this publication - each and every one of our volunteers play a vital role in enriching our community.

Students impress Recently I was invited to Eumundi State School to speak to Year Six students about my role as an elected representative. We spoke about Parliament, and my path from policing into politics, and I have to say, the students were perfect hosts!

I’d also like to thank the students of Eumundi and North Arm State School for hosting Anzac Day commemorations recently. Both schools hosted moving services, where the students proudly paid their respects alongside locals, community leaders and veterans.

Festival success Congratulations to Katie Noonan and everyone involved in the recent Sunshine Sounds Festival. Despite the weather, by all accounts it was a fantastic event that showcased Eumundi and the rich depth of talent we boast here, and across the state.

Welcome to A’van Club members This week, our region is hosting more than 200 vans as part of the A’van Club of Australia’s National Gathering and AGM. This is a great opportunity for tourism and hospitality providers, with more than 400 people expected to inject at least $300,000 in the local economy. I’ve been asked to speak at their official function, where I intend to spruke some of our must-see attractions, including, of course, the Eumundi markets.
