FEW topics have prompted as much public interest as the future of the Torquay Foreshore.

In the midst of that discussion, Councillor Lachlan Cosgrove has shown a willingness to front the community through the Hervey Bay Advertiser and explain his thinking, setting out a transparent case for change while underscoring the importance of community consultation.

Cr Cosgrove spends time on the Esplanade as a local first and a councillor second.

He talks about the simple things that draw people to Torquay; shade, grass, ocean views, and the ease of crossing the street for a coffee.

That combination, he argues, is scarce across Hervey Bay’s four business activity nodes (Pialba, Scarness, Torquay and Urangan).

In his view, that scarcity creates a once in a generation chance to deliver a premium oceanfront parkland embedded in an active

discussion and wants people to understand how he’s reached his view.

He’s open to hearing different perspectives and

precinct – ‘the missing piece’ that could elevate local lifestyle and visitor experience.

If that sounds like a firm position, it is, but it is not a closed mind.

Cosgrove says he welcomes

“If there is an overwhelming result one way or the other, once consultation finishes,

where residents can think through a substantive public-policy choice about a strategic piece of foreshore, that doesn’t dismiss people’s

believes respectful debate leads to better decisions.

He notes that formal consultation matters and must carry real weight.

“It is incumbent upon us to consider strongly the feedback

that is going to have a heavy impact on my final decision. I think it will ultimately control the outcome in the room, from all councillors.”

He stresses that engagement should be a two-way dialogue

urging a deeper conversation than ‘top-of-mind Facebook responses’.

Cr Cosgrove’s argument also speaks to stewardship of public money.

He notes that projected capital works across the foreshore caravan parks climbed dramatically in recent years, which is why he supported pausing to test whether the balance of investment still felt right.

To him, that made perfect sense.

“It is completely appropriate to pause before investing a large sum of money that locks in a very strategic piece of land for another 30 years,”

lived experience, rather places it inside a framework designed to inform a long-term decision.

He believes there is a difference between online noise and the official process,

he says.

“The motion was passed unanimously”.

His point is about diligence, and Council should interrogate big spending, to be certain they deliver the greatest community value.

Central to his consideration is the idea of “nodes”, or places where parkland, beach and business reinforce one another.

He told the Hervey Bay Advertiser that the best open spaces do not sit apart from activity, they spark it.

He points to examples where families flow between shaded lawns and nearby shops, creating the kind of all-day street life that benefits residents and traders alike.

It is, he says, the difference between simply adding grass and deliberately creating a place.

Some have mistaken his stance as simply supporting development and talking about higher rated properties filling the void, but Cosgrove says it’s about creating balance and thinking longterm.

“People tell me, ‘You are not

listening to the community. I most certainly am, but I am also taking the time to understand all the issues before making a decision and I am trying to strike a balance between listening and leading.”

He is frank about the risks of speaking plainly.

In a climate of heightened sentiment, advancing a case can be personally costly.

Whilst it is obvious that this weighs on him, he notes that any public backlash is “tiny compared to not having the case made properly”.

“Residents deserve to hear both sides before council locks in the next thirty years of the foreshore.”

None of this suggests action tomorrow.

If change were ultimately endorsed, Cosgrove stresses, council would still move through methodical due diligence, design, costing, and staging, over years, not weeks.

The point for now is to let the consultation run, weigh its findings, and decide with eyes open.

Agree or disagree with his preferred outcome, there

is a measure of leadership in fronting the community, setting out the reasoning, and promising to read the room when the official numbers land.

In a debate long on volume and short on patience, Cosgrove is trying to do both. Make the case and listen to the crowd.

COUNCILLOR Denis

Chapman has issued a blunt warning to Fraser Coast residents, if Torquay’s Beachfront Tourist Park is replaced with open space or a playground, ratepayers will be footing the bill for generations to come.

“I look at running this community as a business,” Chapman said.

“We should be looking for more revenue streams, not losing one. The caravan park doesn’t just make money for Council, but it also brings money into our region. That money goes through local shops, businesses, and wages. It generates employment to mow our parks, fix our roads, and run our sewage. That’s what keeps a community going.”

Chapman rejects any suggestion that the Torquay foreshore’s caravan park should make way for green space.

“Any green space will be a straight out cost to the community and the loss of

any revenue will have a critical impact on the growth of our growing community”.

“Once you replace it with a playground or open parkland, the ratepayer will have their hand in their pocket forever. It becomes a cost centre, not an income earner.”

Cr Chapman said the park was far more than just a line item in Council’s budget, it was a proven driver of tourism, employment, and economic flow-on.

“They come here from Melbourne, from everywhere. When they are caravanning, they talk to people, go out for dinner, buy from shops, visit the RSL, the Boat Club, it all goes back into our local economy. Without that, our jobs and small businesses suffer.”

Cr Chapman said those who dismiss the park’s economic importance are simply ignoring the facts.

“The argument that only old people stay there and that they don’t spend any money is completely wrong. I have

personally seen plenty of young people with rooftop tents on their four-wheel drives, out touring. They love it because they are right on the water, it’s affordable, social, and exactly what makes Hervey Bay special.”

When it comes to creating more open space, Chapman was candid.

“We have kilometres of foreshore that is underused most of the year. What we should be doing is improving existing parks at Scarness, Torquay, and Urangan, not removing one of the few assets that actually generates revenue.”

Chapman said the financial case against removing the park was straightforward.

“The premium option they are talking about, the big playground, is around $16 million. Even the simpler open space is $5 million. Council doesn’t have that lying under the pillow. Either another project doesn’t go ahead, or rates go up. That’s just how it works.”

He compared the decision that he and other councillors make, is akin to managing a household budget.

“You want to buy something, you have to ask, do I need it, will it be a benefit and can I actually afford it? If not, forget it and move forward.”

When asked by the Hervey Bay Advertiser if he was surprised by the overwhelming public response to Community Consultation, he simply said “No, not at all.”

“This community gets involved when something matters. I have been a councillor for nine years and people care deeply about keeping what makes Hervey Bay unique. We can move forward and grow, but Hervey Bay will always be Hervey Bay.”

In February of this year, Chapman backed his current position with data that was collected from Torquay Caravan Park visitors.

“The Torquay Caravan Park operators collected receipts for two weeks. Even at about 45% occupancy during this time, $30,275 was spent locally in that period.”

He said Council now needs to listen to that same community.

“The decision is with the people. Once they have spoken, Council should follow. We asked for their views, now we need to respect them.”

Chapman said he has seen enough consultation fatigue to know when the public’s message is consistent.

“This community has said before that they do not want to lose the caravan park. We spent $100,000 on a consultation process that we didn’t need because the community had already spoken through the foreshore master plan. They made it clear what they value, and it’s time we listened.”

articles relating to the Torquay Caravan Park debate. All comments attributed to elected representatives reflect their personal views and not those of the Fraser Coast Regional Council as an organisation.

IN THE HERVEY Bay Advertisers first extended conversation with Councillor John Weiland, it became quickly apparent that he held no hardened view on the Torquay Caravan Park but a calm focus on something larger, the city Hervey Bay can become.

Cr. Weiland is clear that he will abide by the outcome of Council’s community consultation on the Torquay foreshore.

“I’ll be pretty well influenced by the feedback,” he said. “If it’s overwhelming, I don’t think any councillor could, or would, vote against it.”

He accepts that participation has been uneven, with highly motivated residents dominating submissions while many busy families have not had time to engage.

“If someone handed me a survey while I have three kids in tow, I wouldn’t stop and do it either,” he said.

“But everyone has equal opportunity. If they choose not to take part, there is little we can do about that”.

Cr. Weiland believes that input still matters, even from those who might never fill out a form.

“The average person’s view is just as valid as the most vocal campaigner,” he said. “They are still a ratepayer and they still live here.”

Yet his mind is already trained on a broader horizon.

When asked if the narrative that the Torquay Caravan Park should go, to create green space that will foster youth retention, his response was broad and future focussed.

“The real question is not just whether the caravan park stays or goes, but how Hervey Bay will house and sustain the next generation”.

“We need diversity, not just density,” he explained.

“Ninety-seven percent of our housing is suburban sprawl, the most expensive to buy and the most expensive to service. I would love to see a space where you could live, work, and study, and get around on our transport network. That’s what will attract and keep young people here.”

Cr. Weiland points to the Pialba CBD as the logical heart of that transformation.

“That is where our infrastructure can handle growth. We have just updated the planning scheme to allow more density in strategic nodes. It is not about high-rise everywhere, but it is about giving people options.”

The Councillor sees well-designed infill as both an economic and social imperative.

“Friends of mine who are single parents just want an apartment, but there are none. Our market is one-dimensional. If we can add other tiers of housing, hopefully at lower price points, it benefits everyone.”

“We need new projects that actually help local families buy a home, not just add to the top end of the market.”

While some see Hervey Bay’s ageing demographic as a problem, Weiland calls it a compliment.

“What a thing, that people want to retire here. But we have to

balance that growth. The hospital is crying out for a workforce. Young professionals just won’t come if there’s nowhere affordable to live. That is the main issue, not the Caravan Park”. Weiland concedes that the caravan park debate is all but over, but he sees opportunity elsewhere.

“I think the Torquay Caravan Park will stay,” he said, “but we need to improve that area so tourists have a better experience. Look at any major regional coastal city, they all have a signature parkland facing the water”

His openness to a “both-and” approach, protecting the park while planning new parklands, contrasts starkly with some of the zero-sum tone that has defined much of the current debate.

“It’s not one or the other,” he said. “We can have both, if we get it right.”

As the Torquay Foreshore Community Consultation draws record responses, Weiland says councillors would do well to respect the strength of public feedback and remains careful not to make promises beyond what the community decides.

“This is not about us making a decision for today,” he said.

“It’s about shaping a city the next generation will be proud to call home.”

COSMETIC DENTAL

CROWNS & BRIDGES

FRASER Coast Councillor Paul Truscott says he has not met a single person outside the Council chamber who supports removing the Torquay Beachfront Tourist Park, describing the issue as one of the most strongly felt community debates he has witnessed in local government.

“It would be one of the top three,” Cr Truscott said.

“The sports precinct would probably be the other big dividing one that stands out in my mind, and lastly the new administration building in the Bay. Of all the issues I have seen, the caravan park would take first place.”

He said while previous issues such as the sports precinct had generated both strong support and opposition, the caravan park discussion had been notably one sided.

“Outside of the Council chamber room, I have not had one single person tell me that we should get rid of the caravan park in favour of an open space area or playground,” he said.

Although Cr Truscott represents Maryborough, he said the conversation reaches well beyond Hervey Bay.

“Since the discussion has come about, the only community message that I have received, and primarily from people in Maryborough, is the same. Do not get rid of that Torquay Caravan Park,” he said.

“They have sentimental attachment to it, dating back decades. Thousands of residents have expressed their concern through a petition and businesses have been vocal about their concerns also. People ask, ‘Why would you get rid of a Council asset that produces income? Wouldn’t that just mean you have to raise rates if it was removed ?’

“There are people who have stopped me on my morning walks and said, ‘Make sure you keep it.’ Even visitors from out of town have said the same thing.”

Speaking with The Hervey Bay Advertiser, Cr Truscott said his personal position had been clear since the issue first arose.

“I need to make it clear that these are my personal views and not the official position of Council,” he said.

“I’ve always been of the opinion that we should not remove

an income producing asset, such as the caravan park, especially one that is so appreciated by our community and guests. Out of the many kilometres along the Esplanade, there are other suitable areas that I believe could be considered if an additional park or recreation space was necessary.”

He added that arguments suggesting the caravan park should make way for new youth spaces or to assist future development did not convince him.

“I don’t buy into either one of those arguments for getting rid of the caravan park because I don’t think it will make a difference, really, to try to retain youth by not having a caravan park there,” he said.

“There are so many other options already available on the Esplanade that I don’t think making one more there is going to make a difference. There are literally green space parks either side of this Torquay Caravan Park, use those.”

Cr Truscott said he believed the community’s view was already well established and consistent.

“I think this is going to be a waste of time because we know

what the community wants already,” he said.

“It was overwhelmingly evident at that time that people wanted to keep the caravan park. So, I felt that this whole process has been a waste of time and money in my personal opinion, of course. But I respect the process of democracy and I will wait to see what the outcome is, but I believe it will be in support of retaining the caravan park.”

He said that if additional parkland or playground space was genuinely needed, there were other areas along the Esplanade that could be considered without removing a valuable community asset.

“If the community wanted more park and open space, why not find another section of the Esplanade that’s not already utilised by an income producing asset and put a park there?” he said.

He encouraged residents to make their views known through the official consultation survey.

“I strongly encourage everyone with a view on the matter to share their thoughts through the official consultation survey process,” he said.

“This is the official process that will make part of the report that is put to all councillors to make a decision on. I will be waiting to see the results of the survey process before making any final determination.”

FRASER Coast Mayor George Seymour has confirmed he will recontest the mayoralty at the next local government election in 2028, telling The Hervey Bay Advertiser that he remains deeply committed to ‘a vibrant, healthy, active community’ and wants to see through key projects that will shape the region’s future.

“I love the job,” Mayor Seymour said.

“By 2028 I will have been Mayor for ten years, and I still feel there is a lot more we can do together, to make the Fraser Coast a great place for people of all ages.”

In an exclusive interview with the Hervey Bay Advertiser, Seymour gave an undertaking that his vote on the future of the Torquay Beachfront Tourist Park will follow the outcome of community consultation.

“I will vote exactly as the majority of the community says. If the feedback comes back that more people are in favour of retaining the caravan park, then that is what I will support.”

Whilst he acknowledged that the feedback so far has been very strongly in favour of retaining it as a caravan park, Seymour said he expects a range of opinions to be expressed via the Community Consultation.

“I am sure there will also be people with a different view. We want to hear from everyone. The higher the number of people who respond to this question the better.”

Pialba caravan parks, the vote to proceed with a review and community consultation was unanimous, not because councillors necessarily supported any change, but because they recognised that the community must not be excluded

increases democracy,” he said.

“When that motion came up, everyone supported going out to the public. It’s hard to vote against asking people what they think, that is the bedrock of engagement.”

Reflecting on how the debate began, Seymour noted that when Councillor Zane O’Keefe first moved the October 2024 motion to review the future of the Torquay and

Fraser Coast Community Notice

Official meeting transcripts record that Seymour supported the motion at the time, noting his position was taken ‘unenthusiastically’.

“I voted to support taking it to the community, because I believe in anything that strengthens democracy.”

“When the motion came up, everyone agreed to seek public input. It’s difficult to vote against asking people what they think, that’s the foundation of genuine community engagement.”

“We should always be looking for ways to increase participation in civic affairs. Democracy should be much more than voting once every four years.”

When asked whether some residents might feel there were other priorities more deserving of Council’s attention, Mayor Seymour acknowledged that sentiment.

“I understand that

perspective,” he said.

“There are always alternative priorities, for example, investing further in sporting facilities or other community assets would also be worthwhile subjects for consultation.

“But once the motion was on the table, the proper course was to ask the community. That was the correct and transparent process to follow.”

Pressed on whether the consultation process had been intended to quickly deliver the removal of the caravan park, Seymour said no outcome could be delivered hastily.

“Any future change would still need to go through the usual budget and planning processes. Nothing could happen in the short term, any works would be well beyond the next election,” he explained.

Questioned about whether councillors who voted against retaining the caravan park might face electoral consequences in 2028, Seymour remained suitably measured.

“That’s a question for down the track and is ultimately for the community to decide.”

Seymour said he understood why advocates saw the financial case for retaining the Torquay Beachfront Tourist Park as compelling.

However, for him, it was about much more than just finances, but acknowledged that keeping the site as a caravan park provided an ongoing income stream and infrastructure that would not need to be replaced as soon as parkland facilities.

Whilst Seymour indicated his personal preference was for the site to remain as a caravan park, his larger view was about democratic decision making.

“There is a real question here,” he said.

“This land could be open space parkland and it could remain as a caravan park. There are arguments and justifications for both sides.

“Whilst I favour it staying a caravan park, I want to hear what the community says.

“I trust the community to make the right decision, and whatever comes back in the consultation is how I will vote.”

“I want to see more informed debate about important issues in our community, and this is an important issue.

“It is an important and special place on the Esplanade and

we should have a considered and informed debate about its future.

“This should be just the start in how we open up local democracy.”

Beyond the Torquay Caravan Park debate, the Mayor spoke about long term projects he believes will secure the Fraser Coast’s future, particularly the expansion of the University of the Sunshine Coast’s Hervey Bay campus.

“We are working closely with the university and other levels of government to achieve that,” he said.

sees the outcome.”

Throughout the interview, the Mayor was measured and reflective, speaking with evident affection for the region he calls home.

His passion for the Fraser Coast runs deep, a sentiment that underpins both his decision to remain in local government and his commitment to serve the community directly, where he believes he can make the most tangible difference.

Seymour said his greatest satisfaction comes from seeing the results of local decisions translated into real benefits for residents, new footpaths, community facilities and the kind of civic projects that improve everyday life.

He also spoke of the importance of maintaining balance and remaining close to his young family, saying that staying in local government allows him to contribute meaningfully without losing that connection.

He brushed off any suggestion of a future in state politics, insisting his focus remains firmly on his home community.

“This is where my heart is. I love this region and the people in it, and I want to keep giving back right here on the Fraser Coast.”

As he looks ahead to another term, the Mayor’s guiding philosophy remains unchanged.

“My focus is, and always will be, on building a community that’s vibrant, healthy and active.

“I am enthusiastic about democracy. We shouldn’t just set and forget every four years.

“The more ways we can involve people in decisions, the better the outcomes’.

He also touched on the evolution of the Hervey Bay CBD and his hope that recent investments will spark renewed vitality in the city centre.

“Once people start seeing a library that’s fit for the 21st century, with a podcasting room, maker spaces and a proper public hub, I think sentiment will change around the new Council Administration Centre.”

“It’s similar to what happened with the sports precinct. At the time, it was divisive. Now people want more facilities there.

“The same will happen in the CBD once the community

Fraser Coast Regional Council has again supported the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section) by waiving over $135k in landing fees at Hervey Bay and Maryborough airports.

This continued support ensures the Flying Doctor is there for all Queenslanders –24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

CARAVAN Parks Association of Queensland Chief Executive Michelle Weston says the debate over Hervey Bay’s Torquay Caravan Park has lost sight of the real economics and the prosperity it generates for the entire community, not just the council ledger.

“The Torquay Caravan Park directly supports around 45 full-time equivalent tourism-related jobs in the wider community, people working in hotels, pubs, cafés, bottle shops and attractions,” Ms Weston said.

“But that is just the beginning. Using the industry’s economic-contribution calculator developed by BDO Australia, we can see the park generates around $5 million in gross domestic product (GDP) every year for the Fraser Coast economy.”

“That money ripples through local businesses, wages and services, supporting livelihoods far beyond the park itself. It’s not just a place to stay, it is a vital economic engine.”

Ms Weston said focusing narrowly on how much profit the council makes from operating the park misses the larger truth about caravan tourism’s value.

“It’s not about what Council banks,” she said. “It’s about how much money visitors bring into Hervey Bay from elsewhere — money that recirculates through local businesses and supports employment. Those are two very different things.”

“They are in the cafés, restaurants, and hardware stores. They buy from local butchers and markets. Every one of those transactions really matters.”

Some advocates for redevelopment have argued that the caravan park’s location deters new investment on the opposite side of the Esplanade because, as one submission put it, “no investor would consider building high-end accommodation or permanent

Contrary to claims that caravanning is a pastime of retirees who spend little, Ms Weston said industry data shows the opposite.

“It is actually the 30 to 54-year-old family market that takes the most caravan and camping trips.

“Families make up the largest segment in Queensland, and their spending patterns are substantial. Even older travellers on extended stays cannot carry weeks of supplies, they shop locally, eat out, enjoy tours, and really engage with the community.”

Michelle said that engagement turns static holidaymakers into active contributors to local life.

apartments facing the unattractive backyards of caravanners.”

Ms Weston said she found that reasoning “puzzling.”

“That’s actually an argument for keeping the caravan park”.

“Caravan parks are low-lying and open, which means any new building across the road would enjoy uninterrupted water views from nearly every floor.”

“They are also green, leafy spaces, full of trees and character, that complement higher-density development nearby. Across Queensland you see thriving foreshore parks sitting comfortably alongside apartments and resorts. The two coexist beautifully.”

She cited examples from the Sunshine Coast with long-

standing, waterfront parks bordered by higher-density accommodation.

Michelle said the caravan and camping industry had enjoyed year-on-year growth for more than a decade, well beyond the post-COVID boom.

“Last year alone there was a 5% increase in the number of caravans and motorhomes registered nationally, and more than 240,000 are now registered in Queensland.”

“That is a huge travelling market. Regional communities like the Fraser Coast just cannot afford to lose their slice of it.”

“Beachfront caravan parks are iconic Queensland assets. Once they are gone, they are almost impossible to replace.”

Ms Weston believes the Torquay foreshore’s caravan park enhances, rather than detracts from the foreshore experience.

“Hervey Bay already has kilometres of parks and playgrounds. The caravan park adds life and vibrancy, people walking, cycling, dining out, shopping locally. It’s part of what makes the foreshore feel alive.”

As the Fraser Coast Regional Council’s public consultation on the park nears its close, already attracting record participation, she urged decision-makers to weigh community benefit over shortterm financial metrics.

“If council values the caravanning and camping market, keeping the Torquay Caravan Park is a no-brainer. It’s not just accommodation, it’s an economic engine and a social anchor for Hervey Bay.”

ACROSS the Fraser Coast, more families are noticing signs of anxiety in childrensleepless nights before school, tummy aches without a clear cause, sudden toileting issues, or emotional outbursts that seem bigger than the situation. What was once dismissed as “nerves” is now recognised as a growing mental health challenge affecting children of all ages.

Childhood anxiety has been steadily rising across Australia, and the Fraser Coast is no exception. Factors such as social media exposure, bullying, family stress and academic expectations have all contributed to higher stress levels among young people.

Many children are struggling to process big emotions and cope with everyday changes, leading to withdrawal, irritability, or avoidance behaviours.

Parents are finding that anxiety doesn’t just affect the child - it affects the whole family. Long waitlists for counselling or psychology services can make it difficult to access professional help quickly, which is why early support and prevention are so important.

Building coping skills early helps children develop confidence and emotional awareness before worry turns

into chronic anxiety.

Simple steps at home can make a difference: creating predictable routines, maintaining calm spaces, limiting screen time, and encouraging open conversations about feelings. Even asking the child what helps them feel calm, so they feel a sense of control. Activities such as

yoga, mindfulness, deep breathing, and outdoor play also promote relaxation and balance.

Equally important is how parents model their own coping strategies.

Children learn resilience by watching how adults handle challenges. Being open about your own experiences of stress or worry, while showing how you manage it in healthy ways, helps normalise these

feelings. For example, saying, “I’m feeling a bit stressed today, so I’m going for a walk to clear my head,” teaches children that it’s okay to feel uncomfortable and that there are ways to cope.

While some adults still believe that children need to simply “toughen up,” it’s important to remember that times have changed.

Today’s world is faster, louder, and more connected than ever before, and decades of research have deepened our understanding of mental health as well as neurodiversity.

Labelling a child as “precious” or a “sook” doesn’t help - it only teaches them to hide their emotions instead of managing them.

With empathy, patience, and understanding, families, schools, and communities can help children feel safe, supported, and confident to face life’s challenges.

On the Fraser Coast, early support can make all the difference in helping our young people not just cope, but truly thrive.

VIBRANCE, sea life, and a love of reading have all featured in the winning entries for this year’s Fraser Coast Libraries Design-a-Library Card Competition.

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said the winners were announced this week at a special presentation, with 165 entries received across five age categories.

“The creativity and imagination in this year’s entries was truly inspiring,” Cr Seymour said.

“Library cards are more than just a way to borrow books, they are a passport to knowledge, creativity and connection.

“This competition not only gave people a chance to express their artistic side but also encouraged more people

to engage with their library.”

Cr Seymour said the winning artworks range from vibrant colours and intricate details to imaginative storytelling through art, reflecting the diversity and spirit of the Fraser Coast.

“It’s going to be exciting to see these artworks transformed into library cards that will be used by thousands of residents,” he said.

“By inviting our community to design them, we’ve created a sense of ownership and pride, and we hope the cards inspire even more people to explore everything our libraries have to offer.”

Cr Seymour said the winning designs will feature on library cards issued across all Fraser Coast Libraries, with each winner receiving a $50 Fraser Coast Gift Card, redeemable at more than 200 local businesses and venues.

“This has been a wonderful way to celebrate local talent and connect people with their libraries in a new and creative way,” he said.

New library members will soon be able to choose from five winning designs or the official Fraser Coast Libraries branded card when signing up at branches in Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Tiaro, Howard and Burrum Heads.

YOUNG people in Hervey Bay now have access to a personalised and practical pathway to employment at no cost with the launch of STEPS’ Get Set for Work Program.

The program is designed for young people aged 15-19 who have left school or are struggling within the traditional system. Rather than a heavy focus on standardised testing or theoretical knowledge, participants learn through real world experiences, hands on activities, and coursework tailored to their individual interests and goals.

STEPS CEO Cassie Stanley said that the program has supported almost 100 young people, helping them transition into employment, return to school, or seek further training.

“We’ve seen firsthand how this program helps young people reconnect with learning, develop skills for the real world and develop confidence,” Ms Stanley said.

“This is what STEPS is all about; providing opportunity and supporting people in our community to recognise their potential and reach their goals.”

The program includes nationally recognised training (FSK20119 Certificate II in Skills for Work and Vocational Pathways)

alongside wraparound support such as transport and food assistance, offsite excursions, and employer engagement opportunities. STEPS’ Get Set for Work Program has already seen success in Bundaberg, Caloundra, and Gympie, helping young people develop their skills for the future and discover a renewed sense of direction.

Delivered by expert trainers who adapt lessons to suit different learning styles, Get Set for Work provides structure, support, and a safe space where young people feel seen and empowered.

The Hervey Bay expansion is part of a broader rollout, with Get Set for Work also launching in Townsville and

Maroochydore.

FRASER Coast residents are invited to a free seminar in Hervey Bay to learn practical ways to stay calm, focused and resilient in times of stress, disaster or crisis.

The event, Neuro-Resilience: Cognitive Tools in Disaster Recovery and Times of Crisis, will be held at The Clubhouse (Golf Club), Hervey Bay, from 10am to 1.30pm on Thursday 27 November 2025.

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said the seminar was about giving people skills that can help in both everyday life and emergency situations.

“When disaster strikes, it’s not just our homes and streets that are under pressure – our minds are too,” Cr Seymour said.

“This seminar will give people simple tools to reduce stress, think clearly and make better decisions when it matters most.

“We know the Fraser Coast is exposed to extreme weather and other emergencies. By building individual resilience, we are building community resilience –and that benefits everyone.”

The session will be delivered by Dr Helena Popovic, an internationally recognised doctor, author and high-performance coach with more than 30 years of experience in brain science. Dr Popovic is known for her engaging,

down-to-earth style and practical, evidence-based advice.

Participants will walk away with tips to:

• build resilience and reduce stress

• improve memory, focus and decision-making

• stay mentally strong before, during and after disasters

The seminar is open to anyone aged over 15 and will be especially helpful for first responders, health workers, volunteers and community

members

A SPLASH of bright blue has appeared along the Hervey Bay Esplanade — and it’s doing more than turning heads.

The newly painted Blue Tree stands as a powerful reminder to start conversations about mental health and check in with those around us.

The initiative was led by the Rotary Club of Hervey Bay Sunrise, inspired by the global Blue Tree Project, which began in Western Australia.

The movement started with a simple, yet profound act — painting a dead tree blue — and has since grown into a worldwide symbol of hope, connection, and mental health awareness.

The Rotary Club connected with Fraser Coast Mates, whose mission is to encourage open conversations and community support around

mental wellbeing, to bring the project to life locally.

Together, they approached Fraser Coast Regional Council, who enthusiastically supported the initiative by providing equipment, a truck, and team members to assist with the painting.

Heather Sugget from Rotary had a conversation with Mayor George Seymour that supported the idea. Local stores Crowies

Paints donated the blue paint and Bunnings supplied the painting equipment that staff from the Fraser Coast Regional Council were able to help with the difficult heights.

“The Blue Tree is a simple but powerful symbol,” says Heather.

President of Fraser Coast Mates, Darren Bosley, says the impact will be much more than the visual sight.

“It’s a reminder to have that

conversation, to ask a mate if they’re okay, and to know it’s okay to not be okay.”

Located on the Esplanade near the Hervey Bay Sailing Club, the tree has quickly become a talking point for locals and visitors alike.

The Rotary Club encourages everyone to visit, take a photo with the tree, and share it using #bluetreeproject to spread awareness even further.

The project reflects the Fraser Coast community’s united effort to promote mental health awareness and support.

In the words of the Blue Tree Project itself, “By spreading the paint, you help spread the message that it’s okay to have a blue day.”

OUTDOOR LIVING SPECIALISTS

THE QUEENSLAND Government is delivering on a key election commitment for new MRIs and CT scanners across the State, announcing a new MRI machine for Hervey Bay Hospital.

The commitment means magnetic resonance images (MRIs) will be taken on site at the Hervey Bay Hospital, allowing Hervey Bay locals to be diagnosed and treated faster than ever before, without having to travel or pay for a private scanning clinic.

The existing hospital pharmacy will be relocated and the current medical imaging area expanded to include the new machine, which will help diagnose a variety of conditions including tumours, infections, inflammation, organ diseases, and traumatic injuries.

Hervey Bay was identified as one of the most critical areas for the new equipment, and this investment will help meet growing demand.

The new technology is part of a $276 million investment, with six new MRI machines and nine CT scanners set to be

installed across Queensland.

The Hervey Bay community has been campaigning for the new MRI machine, with 6,782 people signing a petition for a machine to be delivered, supported by local MP David Lee for one of the State’s fastest growing regions.

After years of challenges in Queensland’s health system, Wide Bay locals are finally seeing long-overdue improvements — including the long-awaited arrival of an MRI machine for Hervey Bay and efforts to reduce ambulance ramping and surgery waitlists.

The investment is part of the Crisafulli Government’s fully funded Hospital Rescue Plan, with an expansion to Hervey Bay Hospital including 35 extra overnight beds, an inpatient unit, an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and extra car parking set to be completed at the end of next year.

Premier David Crisafulli said the Government was delivering the fresh start Queenslanders voted for, exactly as promised.

“We are delivering health services when Queenslanders need them with the first

MRI machine at Hervey Bay Hospital,” Premier Crisafulli said.

“This is about listening to the Hervey Bay community and providing locals with easier access to health services where they live.

“While we are seeing elective surgery down and important progress on the Hospital Rescue Plan, there is much more to be done to restore health services when you need them, and we remain committed to delivering the fresh start we promised.”

Member for Hervey Bay David Lee said the Government has listened and is delivering for the people of Hervey Bay.

Mr Lee said for many years, Hervey Bay hadn’t received the level of attention or investment in health services it deserved.

“It’s critical the community have access to the right care when and where they need it and I’m proud that the Crisafulli Government will deliver the new MRI machine to support the people of Hervey Bay and the Wide Bay region.”

FRASER Coast free range

egg producers Brother Brother Organics have taken home one of Queensland’s most coveted agricultural honours, winning Champion Commercial Egg at this year’s Brisbane Exhibition (Ekka).

For co-owner Nick Kuhn, it was a proud moment and a first for the family run business.

“The Ekka is the biggest show in Queensland, and this year they split the competition into two parts, backyard producers and commercial suppliers,” he said.

“We entered the commercial section and came out with the champion ribbon, which was awesome.”

Judging is meticulous. Each entrant must submit twelve eggs identical in size, shape, and colour, with shells free from any imperfections.

“They also test shell strength, then crack them open to look for bright, rich yolks and freshness,”

Nick explained.

“A fresh egg has tight whites that stay close to the yolk. An old one just runs flat across the pan.”

Nick said the win reflected the farms commitment to ethical and sustainable production.

“Our chickens are genuinely free range, not just by name. They eat fresh grass shoots, bugs, worms, and beetles, and they get plenty of sunlight. That natural diet gives our eggs that bright orange yolk people love.”

Brother Brother Organics supplies a number of retail outlets across Hervey Bay and sells directly through the Hervey Bay and Maryborough markets, where they move close to 1,000 dozen eggs each week.

“The markets are by far our biggest outlet. We sell about 600 dozen at the Pier Markets and another 400 dozen in Maryborough.” Local Hervey Bay cafes are also

proudly serving their produce, including The Spotted Goat, Pier Village Café, Seabreeze, and Diorama Café.

While the ribbon is a big win, Nick said the real reward is community support.

“We have amazing customers, people who appreciate where their food comes from. This win is not just for us, it’s for everyone who backs local farming.”

FRASER Coast residents are reminded that extra Qantas and Jetstar flights have now commenced, making it easier for residents and visitors to connect with both domestic and international markets via Brisbane.

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said the additional services between Hervey Bay, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney would make travel to and from the region easier than ever as people start planning their Christmas holidays.

“From this week, Qantas will reinstate early morning and evening flights between Hervey Bay and Brisbane, while Jetstar will increase the number of flights connecting Hervey Bay with Melbourne and Sydney,” Cr Seymour said.

“It’s fantastic for our region as these services not only increase connectivity but offer greater convenience for business travellers who need same-day return trips to Brisbane.

“I encourage everyone to support these improved services - it’s a boost for tourism, business and the local economy, and a clear sign of growing confidence in the Fraser Coast.”

The Qantas flights will depart Brisbane for Hervey Bay at 6:10 pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with return services at 6:30 am every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The trial will run through to the end of March 2026.

Cr Seymour said the return of early morning and evening flights between Hervey Bay and Brisbane will make it easier for locals and visitors to travel, do business and experience everything the idyllic Fraser Coast has to offer.

“Jetstar’s increased capacity also starts this week, marking 16 months since its Hervey Bay – Melbourne route first launched and bringing more than 67,000 visitors to our

region during that time,” he said.

“From this week, flights to Melbourne will increase from three to four return services a week, and flights to Sydney will rise to daily services from December.

“The extra flights will add more than 38,000 low-fare seats each year, making it easier than ever for people to experience the stunning Fraser Coast.”

Tourism and Events will continue to work closely with both Jetstar and Qantas to grow air connectivity and support tourism and business opportunities across the region.

Top 3 recycling mistakes

how to fix them!

IN OUR pursuit of health and wellness, we often focus on the physical aspects— clean food, enough sleep, movement, hydration, and moderation in alcohol and narcotics.

While these are vital, true well-being extends beyond the physical.

A critical but often overlooked barrier to health is the baggage we carry—the labels, expectations, and societal pressures that shape our identity and influence our mental state.

Many individuals struggle with layered illusions of who they should be, trying to fit into boxes dictated by society, family, or their own selfimposed standards.

These layers can obscure our authentic self and create internal conflict, leading to emotional and mental distress.

The relentless search for belonging and validation often results in self-sabotage, as we chase ideals that may be unattainable or misaligned with who we truly are.

This internal turmoil impacts

our health profoundly.

Stress, anxiety, and unresolved emotional wounds can manifest physically, causing illness or worsening existing conditions.

Thus, unaddressed emotional baggage is just as damaging as neglecting diet or exercise.

The path to genuine health involves unmasking these layers—peeling back societal labels, self-doubt, and emotional barriers.

It’s about embracing vulnerability, reflecting inward, and reconnecting with our true selves.

Only then can we release the false identities that hinder our

growth and happiness.

This journey must happen in a safe space—where timing, patience, and support are essential.

Growth, change, and forgiveness are challenging; they can hurt, cause discomfort, and sometimes ripple into other areas of our lives.

But despite the pain, this transformation is necessary, freeing, and ultimately beautiful.

When we free ourselves from the masks and layers, we open the door to holistic health—a state of being well, balanced, and true to ourselves.

In doing so, we not only improve our physical health but also nurture our mental and emotional well-being. Because at the core of wellness lies the truth: health is not just the absence of illness, but the harmony of mind, body, and spirit.

Healthcare in 2050 on Fraser Coast: A Glimpse into the Future

When we speak of the Fraser Coast in 2050, we aren’t just discussing numbers or statistics, we are talking about our families, our neighbours, our friends, and our broader community. The region is projected to reach a population of 150,000, which is substantial growth, but the real signifcance lies in how our healthcare system will adapt to keep everyone healthy, happy, and connected as our community ages.

The main question we face is: what do we want healthcare to look like in 25 years ? The choices we make today will determine whether we’re reacting to problems or shaping a system that truly serves our needs.

Starting With Our Region Fraser Coast is unique compared to larger centres

Our vision for 2050 isn’t just about high-tech hospitals; it’s about practical solutions suited to our region, care close to home, stable medical professionals who understand our community, and technology that bridges distances, allowing people from Maryborough, Howard, Burrum Heads,

study, train, and work locally.

This approach isn’t just about sta ng; it’s about fostering professionals who know the community intimately. When our healthcare workers understand our lifestyle and culture, they can provide more personal and e ective care. The aging population, once seen as a challenge, becomes a valuable context for training future generations in managing chronic disease and aged care.

Distance No Longer a Barrier

Many residents know the frustration of travelling to Brisbane for quick appointments. By 2050, this should be a thing of the past. Telehealth already shows promise, but the future will make it standard practice. Imagine talking to a cardiologist or dermatologist from your own living room. Wearable devices will play a key role, tiny

alerted and can intervene before issues escalate. For those with chronic conditions, this means fewer emergencies and greater peace of mind. Mobile clinics and drone-delivered medications will further

Technology and Artiﬁcial Intelligence

Technology will be a major part of healthcare by 2050, though perhaps not as dramatic as science ﬁction might suggest. Artiﬁcial intelligence could instantly analyse skin conditions, while robotic surgery might allow experts to operate from afar. 3D bioprinters could produce custom joints or organs, and genomics will enable treatments tailored to everyone.

Despite these advances, technology will support, not replace, health professionals. Machines will handle routine tasks like administration and data analysis, freeing doctors and nurses to spend more time with patients, listening and caring.

Prevention Becomes Everyday Care

A key shift will be toward prevention instead of reaction. By 2050, most people will likely use wearables that monitor their health daily. That data will inform medical records, giving a clearer picture of overall wellbeing.

Green, Sustainable Healthcare Healthcare’s impact on the environment will be front and centre by 2050. Hospitals and clinics will run sustainably, using solar power, digital systems, and minimising waste. This beneﬁts both the planet and the

Wearable devices will play a key role, tiny sensors tracking blood pressure, heart rhythm, or blood sugar. If anything seems wrong, your GP is alerted and can intervene before issues escalate.

Mental Health Front and Centre Mental health can’t be overlooked. The e ects of stress, depression, and anxiety are felt throughout the community. By 2050, mental health care should be as routine and accessible as physical health care.

This means GPs, schools, workplaces, and community groups all play a role. Online counselling, AI screening tools, and stigma-reducing community education will help, making it easier for people to seek help.

The Real Question: What Do We Want?

Ultimately, the future is unwritten. While we can imagine advanced technology and new approaches, the real future for Fraser Coast healthcare depends on our choices now, training local professionals, investing in technology, and improving access.

For a region with high chronic illness rates, this is transformative. Health teams will work proactively, helping people stay well and out of hospital.

budget, allowing more resources to be directed to patient care. Telehealth also plays a part in sustainability, reducing the need for travel. As a community that values nature, it’s ﬁtting that healthcare would contribute to environmental care.

If we want a 2050 where people enjoy longer, healthier lives in Fraser Coast, planning must begin now. Healthcare may never be perfect, but it can become smarter, fairer, and more connected. In the end, the future of healthcare is about people, our people, and the kind of community we want to build together.

DR NICK YIM President AMA Queensland

THE FRASER Coast rolled out the red-carpet for the Fraser Shorts Film Festival, an inspiring four-day celebration of storytelling, creativity, and community.

Presented by Screen Fraser Coast, the festival brought filmmakers, film lovers, and industry guests together for a dynamic program of short film screenings, workshops, and special events across Hervey Bay and Maryborough.

Audiences were treated to an impressive lineup of local and national films, from heartfelt dramas and powerful documentaries to clever comedies and imaginative animations, all showcasing the talent and creativity thriving within the region.

The event highlighted the growing strength of the Fraser Coast’s creative community.

It’s been amazing to see how the festival has brought people together; the quality of storytelling just gets stronger.

There’s so much talent here, and it’s exciting to see filmmakers of all ages finding their voice and sharing their stories.

A standout of this year’s program was the special screening of Is This Forever, an award-winning film by guest filmmaker Charlie Di Stefano.

The film, inspired by Di Stefano’s personal experience

of loss, moved audiences with its raw honesty and emotional depth.

Charlie Di Stefano and Bob Davis from Operation Hard Yakka also took part in a Q&A. We also held film industry panel discussion, sharing valuable insights into the filmmaking process and the power of storytelling to connect people.

The Awards Night wrapped up the festival with plenty of celebration and applause.

Guests enjoyed a two-course dinner, live entertainment from The Duo and comedian Tracy Harvey, and the presentation of awards recognising excellence and emerging talent in filmmaking. Winners are published on the website frasershorts.com. au.

We’re building a strong screen culture here.

Events like Fraser Shorts create opportunities, inspire collaboration, and showcase the incredible talent that calls this region home.

Through initiatives like the Fraser Shorts Film Festival, Screen Fraser Coast continues to nurture and connect the local screen community, supporting filmmakers to share their stories with the world.

FRASER Coast Motor Centre has officially welcomed Port City Auto into its family, marking the start of a new chapter for the region’s motoring community.

The dealerships will now operate as Hervey Bay Auto Group, bringing together two locally established businesses that share a passion for people, service and community.

Dealer Principal Daniel Foley said the acquisition is the result of a shared vision to deliver a stronger, more connected experience for drivers across the Wide Bay. Both businesses, he explained, have grown from the same philosophy: that genuine care and good relationships are the foundation of long-term success.

“This is a really proud moment for our team and our community,” Mr Foley said.

“Both Fraser Coast Motor Centre and Port City Auto have deep roots here. By joining forces, we can take everything people already love about these businesses and build something even stronger.”

The move will see significant investment in the site, technology and staff development as the business transitions into Hervey Bay Auto Group. The goal, according to Mr Foley, is not only to modernise operations but to set a new benchmark for the customer experience.

Customers can expect to notice the difference as soon as they visit.

From upgraded facilities to better service systems, every improvement is designed to make things easier and more enjoyable.

“Our focus is on genuine care, transparency and the kind of service that feels personal, not transactional,” Mr Foley said.

“We want people to feel at home here, confident that they are being looked after by people who genuinely care.”

While the structure may be changing, the team behind the name remains the same. Many longterm staff from Port City Auto are

continuing on with Hervey Bay Auto Group, ensuring customers will still be greeted by familiar faces.

“Our people are the heart of this business,” Mr Foley said.

“They know the community, they know our customers and they’re passionate about what they do. This transition gives them more support, more tools and more opportunities to deliver the best possible experience for every person who walks through our doors.”

Hervey Bay Auto Group is part of the growing Fraser Coast Motor Centre team, a proud member of the Pickering Group of Companies, combining local expertise with the strength of a larger automotive group. Mr Foley said the aim is to provide the best of both worlds: a dealership that feels proudly local but has the resources to offer more choice and value than ever before.

“This is an investment in the region and in the people who live here.

“We’re here for the community and we’re here for the long term. This is just the beginning of something special for Hervey Bay.”

This acquisition brings together two long-established automotive names on the Fraser Coast, creating one of the region’s largest locally operated dealership groups. For many in the community, it’s a sign of confidence in the region’s future and the people who continue to drive it forward.

The newly named Hervey Bay Auto Group is now part of a growing network under the Fraser Coast Motor Centre banner, combining local expertise with the strength of a larger automotive group.

Mr Foley said the aim is to provide the best of both worlds: a dealership that feels proudly local but has the resources to offer more choice and value than ever before. As for Maryborough, we still have and will remain to have a strong presence there and will continue to service and welcome new owners to use us.
