From the editor Australians love their sport. So three national sporting clubs choosing the Sunshine Coast as their home away from home is a big deal on many levels and well worth a cover story.

Firstly, it’s great to see the council’s investments in sport have gone far beyond initial expectations and now offer an alternative for interstate teams during these difficult times. Into the bargain, team members, staff and family staying in our local resorts and enjoying local attractions provide a much-needed boost for tourism.

As for the fans, well, we all know Aussies like to play sport, but the huge numbers who prefer to watch sport are well documented.

In terms of smart young people,

CHANGEMAKERS CHALLENGE COAST BUSINESSES Sunshine Coast businesses are being encouraged to join the circular economy – it’s better for people and the planet. WORDS: Gail Forrer.

Yasmin Grigaliunas

R

epurpose, reuse, recommerce, reduce, repair, recycle. This is the ethos behind the The World’s Biggest Garage Sale (WBGS).

This not-for-profit business collects the unused, the pre-loved, the second-hand, then sorts and sells it. Since its inception in 2013, the WBGS has diverted over three million kilograms of potential waste from landfill.

Brisbane-based WBGS founder Yasmin Grigaliunas says as a social enterprise, the business is leading the charge toward a truly circular economy. This means that your purchase is guaranteed to benefit people (employment), the planet (reuse, renew, repair, repurpose, recycle) and to provide purpose (community engagement, education, support).

Before COVID-19, Ms Grigaliunas conducted physical sales but has now taken the business online and doubling her customers, with plans to roll out the model

on the Sunshine Coast. “On our biggest online day, we had 20,000 people,� she says.

Ms Grigaliunas is known as a circular economy pioneer in Australia, driving this industry forward by innovating, collaborating, connecting, and mobilising multiple stakeholders towards a shared vision, all while providing social good.

Michelle Christoe and her husband Ian Van der Woude are passionate Sunshine Coast business owners who will soon launch the NightQuarter, an awardwinning night market and entertainment venue offering street food and live music.

The market is primarily made of recycled materials and offers sustainable workshops and demonstrations.

They are currently empowering the community to practice its reduce, repair, and recycle habits through the NightQuarter Repair Lab initiative.

Along with a group of like-minded business owners, they are taking part in a series of online conversations challenging Sunshine Coast business leaders to shift to a circular economy.

Environment and liveability portfolio councillor Peter Cox says the series is part of a broader program by the council to encourage sustainability in businesses and homes. “Living sustainably is about being creative and doing more with less, which has a win-win benefit for ourselves, our environment, broader community and our hip pocket,� Cr Cox says. “Council is partnering with business leaders throughout the community to embed innovative sustainability practices, support new business opportunities and

FAST FACTS Ian Van der Woude & Michelle Christoe increase profitability. “Sustainable living is core to our Environment and Liveability Strategy and this event series is just one of the many projects and initiatives helping to achieve a healthy environment and liveable Sunshine Coast.�

The virtual event kicked off with Ms Grigaliunas and Ms Christoe challenging the ‘business as usual’ approach, with a number of follow-up conversations. “I am so excited to be part of this conversation and help Sunshine Coast businesses learn how to provide positive impact for people, the planet and profit for purpose,� Ms Grigaliunas says.

Ms Christoe adds: “Sustainable initiatives are something I’m incredibly passionate about and I can’t wait to share my own learnings when it comes to changing the way we can all do things in business.

The program offers: • campaigns to support targeted behaviour change such as BYOSunshine Coast • local sustainability stories and blogs • useful resources and information • community programs to inspire, connect and build capacity to consider and adopt sustainable living behaviours.

The themes of the program cover the following areas: • waste reduction and circular economies • supporting local food systems • seasonal gardening • conscious consumerism • building and design • energy efficiency and renewable energy • social/community connection • health and wellbeing • play, recreation and family fun.

Looking back.

Did you know?

Do you remember?

David Low Way One of our most significant roads on the Sunshine Coast is David Low Way, which links Maroochydore in the south to Noosa in the north. David Alan Low was born in Yandina in 1911 and was a direct descendant of James Low, one of the Sunshine Coast’s early settlers in the Maroochy region. A man of the people, Dave Low held positions in various local community organisations. He entered state parliament in 1947 as the Country Party Member for Cooroora, an office he held until 1974.

Altogether, he won 16 elections. He held the office of Chairman at Maroochy Shire Council from 1952–1967.

Keeping your Separation Amicable Separating can be stressful, but it doesn’t always have to be acrimonious.

Four tips to keep your separation amicable: 1. Be open to consider alternate proposals

4. Be Human

Whilst the proposal may not be ideal to you, keep an open mind and find a compromise.

2. Be transparent Provide as much information as you can to the other person so that they feel they can make an informed decision.

Negotiations where there is a lack of transparency are doomed to failure.

3. Be Focused Keep your lines of communication open and focused on reaching a positive outcome that you can both live with.

There are going to be emotional minefields along the way, try to avoid them as best you can by keeping on topic and not making inappropriate or unhelpful comments.

Sometimes, despite our best efforts negotiations can be derailed by a poor choice of words or an unexpected emotive reaction. Acknowledge your part in the derailment and try to understand the other persons viewpoint (even if you don’t agree with it). Don’t press the issue and try to refocus on something that you both agree on and circle back on the contentious issue once your back on track.

If you have been able to put differences aside and come to an agreement as to the division of your property and finances or even parenting arrangements, let us take care of the legalities and support the positive outcome that you have worked hard to achieve.

We offer a different approach to Family Law, one that is tailored to suit you and your family.

he ball’s in our court. The Sunshine Coast has embraced the arrival of three national sporting codes to our home grounds.

Mayor Mark Jamieson says the NRL, AFL and Super Netball re-location choice was a great boost to the economy after the effects COVID-19, and proves the worth of the council’s investment in top-class sporting facilities.

He says the value of having them here is quite phenomenal — likely worth in the millions of dollars.

“The places they’re staying, the services and support they need [will bring money to the region] whilst they’re here and at a critical time.

A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson says the temporary relocations further demonstrates the importance of Sunshine Coast Council investment in national standard sporting facilities and developing close relationships with governing bodies and competing clubs over recent years.

“Economically, hosting national teams provides a great opportunity for local accommodation providers and other service providers who have been negatively impacted due to COVID-19

and it provides a national platform to showcase what our Sunshine Coast region can offer from a sporting, economic and lifestyle perspective”.

Storm CEO Dave Donaghy says the club is pleased to have Sunshine Coast Stadium as its temporary home ground as the unpredictable 2020 season continues.

Craig Davidson says hosting these high-profile sporting teams is fantastic exposure for our region both on and off the field.

“It showcases the Sunshine Coast as an active, wholesome and healthy destination and a prime location for sporting teams to train and play.”

“It’s a first-class regional facility, which is a credit to the Sunshine Coast. It continues to be a very unusual time for our club, and the NRL” Dave Donaghy, Melbourne Storm CEO

“It’s a first-class regional facility, which is a credit to the Sunshine Coast.

It continues to be a very unusual time for our club, and the NRL. Right now, the Storm is calling home the Twin Waters resort, where 50 members including partners and children are residing.

Mr Davidson also praised the debut in 2017 of the Sunshine Coast Lightning netball team.

“They have proven to be outstanding ambassadors for the region, leading the way for other national sporting teams on the Sunshine Coast.

With the recent announcement that the entire Suncorp Super Netball Season

will relocate to Queensland this year, we can only expect these benefits to continue to grow in 2020.

“Hosting these teams and additional games will provide a welcome economic boost for the Sunshine Coast’s tourism industry that this year has faced unprecedented challenges in the face of COVID-19.

“The success that the Sunshine Coast has achieved in hosting surfing events and triathlons over the past decades played a crucial role in the Sunshine Coast winning the ‘Aussies’ – the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships – in April next year.

“That will deliver up to 7000 competitors and 20,000 spectators to the Sunshine Coast over almost two weeks – what an incredible way to revive the Sunshine Coast tourism economy.

“Longer term, there is even greater significance. The travel world is undoubtedly changing. Travellers of tomorrow will place high value on destinations emphasising health, wellbeing and nature.

That is our principal messaging as to why the Sunshine Coast stands out from the rest of the tourism crowd.” myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY

AT A GLANCE The relocation of teams is entirely conditional on the approval of a COVID Safe Plan by the Queensland Government and Chief Health Officer.

The first of three home games was held successfully at Sunshine Coast Stadium on July 17, 2020 with another two games to be held on

Final preparations for the Suncorp Super Netball (SSN) opener are in full swing and Sunshine Coast Lightning CEO Danielle Smith says it is an excellent result for a full 60-game season to go ahead.

“We are so thrilled that the SSN, the world’s best netball league, will be returning for another magnificent season, commencing on August 1,” Ms Smith says.

Ms Smith is hopeful all Lightning members and fans will embrace the SSN season, especially given the number of games that will be played locally at University of the Sunshine Coast Stadium as part of the Queensland hub format in 2020.

“As the premier female sporting code in Australia, we encourage you to come along to as many netball games as you can, to enjoy the thrilling double header matches, and also support our opposition teams during their time in Queensland,” she says.

“The condensed season means that there will be greater opportunities to attend.”

Sunshine Coast Council is liaising with the Suncorp Super Netball League regarding hosting teams and games.

This month, the Sunshine Coast Council’s 2020 Sports Field Maintenance Funding Program has endorsed 46 sporting clubs sharing in $734,051 and receiving expert advice each year to June 30, 2023 to contribute towards the cost of maintaining their fields.

The entire Suncorp Super Netball Season will relocate to Albert Vete of the Storm (centre) celebrates a try by teammate Brandon Smith during the Round 10 NRL match between Melbourne Storm and Gold Coast Titans at Sunshine Coast Stadium in Kawana The Melbourne Storm was the first fully professional rugby league team based in Victoria. The Storm entered the competition in 1998. The Storm was originally a Super League initiative, created in 1997 during the Super League war, however, following the Super League collapse, the team became a part of the newly formed, united competition. The club plays its home games at AAMI Park.

The Storm has won three premierships since its inception, in 1999, 2012 and 2017, has contested several grand finals, but was stripped of the 2007 and 2009 premierships, following salary cap breaches.

The Storm has built a loyal supporter base through the years. A record membership figure was set in 2019 with the club having 25,208 people signed up as season ticket holders.

Sports fans are not the only people pleased an AFL and NRL team have chosen the Sunshine Coast as their home away from home.

Novotel Sunshine Coast Twin Waters Resort general manager Warwick Kahl says their occupancy has a flow-on effect for the whole business.

“The resort is almost full,” he says.

In fact, Mr Kahl says current figures show they are in line with the same level they were for this time last year.

This is great news for staff members whose employment has been effected by COVID-19.

“We have been able to secure important business and for that reason we have been able have a large amount of staff back,” he says.

He says the Twin Waters resort environment and the fact that players have their families there with them provides a certain amount of fun, freedom and normality to their unexpected interstate stay.

Mr Kahl says he appreciates the relationship between the Storm and the Lightning and how it has contributed to the Sunshine Coast accommodation choice.

“And I hope we’ll be lucky and have the premiership here.”

NEW MARKET TO OPEN IN CBD Maroochydore CBD will be buzzing on Sundays with a new market set to provide food and entertainment.

A

n experienced market operator who established a number of successful markets in San Diego is set to commence a weekly food and artisan market from Sunday, August 23 at The Metropolitan (MET) in the new Maroochydore CBD. StrEATside Market operator Andrew Sisley says with COVID-19 restrictions easing in Queensland, the time is right to start the market, which will operate every Sunday from 11am until 8pm.

“We have some fantastic food and artisan operators locked in, but we are open to accommodate a few more as we build the market over the long term,” he says. “There’s no doubt that the opening day is going to be exciting, but our goal is to continually innovate and evolve to ensure people have a good reason to bring their family and friends back each week.

“Food stall operators along with artists and performers have taken a massive hit as a result of the coronavirus, so it’s great to be working with so many fun people and provide us all with an opportunity to generate a sustainable, long-term business well into the future.

“Along with the stallholders, we will have a range of live music performances, a dedicated picnic area with soft blankets for people to relax under the shade of umbrellas, as well as some fun lawn games.

It will be just like a Sunday picnic in the park, but you don’t have to bring anything, there’s lots of food and entertainment and best of all, entry is free,” Mr Sisley says.

“As the sun sets, we welcome nighttime guests, who can select their dinner from our range of food stallholders as the entertainment continues until closure at 8pm,” he says.

Mr Sisley says he is mindful of COVID concerns and is committed to ensuring the StrEATside markets becomes a leader in COVID-safe practices.

“We will have abundant sanitisers available across the whole market and we will be compliant with all other health and safety requirements to ensure all our guests have an enjoyable and safe experience whenever they visit.”

SunCentral City Activation Project manager Bronwyn Adams says she is excited to see the MET host a weekly cultural event.

“We’ve already seen how well the MET precinct comes to life after undertaking a range of events onsite after we opened stage 1 of the new Maroochydore City Centre in August last year.”

To enquire about hosting a stall, please visit streatside.com.au For more information and to keep up to date with developments follow StrEATside socials at instagram.com/streatsidemarket and facebook.com/streatsidemarket.

SEAFOOD, STRAWBERRIES AND SUNSHINE

ZANE’S AMAZING EFFORT

With this year’s Curated Plate festival cancelled, a Caloundra operator is staging his own mini food festival.

T

he cancellation of this year’s The Curated Plate food festival on the Sunshine Coast isn’t stopping one of the confirmed participants, Caloundra Jetski, from going ahead with its distinctively Sunny Coast seafood and strawberry jetski safaris over the originally scheduled days for the festival, August 6–9.

Guide Ken Jeffreys says the seafood safari proved highly successful during the inaugural The Curated Plate, and there was such an appetite for outdoor adventures that he decided to go ahead with a ‘mini food festival’ over the scheduled long weekend.

“The half-day Jetski Seafood Safari debuted at last year’s Curated Plate, and involves riding the entire length of the Pumicestone Passage Marine Park, through wetlands, and past ancient volcanos, to Spinnaker Sound Marina at Sandstone Point, Bribie,” Mr Jeffreys says.

A seafood feast featuring the Sunshine Coast’s finest ocean catch will be served.

In addition, Mr Jeffreys will be offering a Jetski to Strawberry Heaven tour, taking off from Caloundra and jet-skiing to historic Roy’s Strawberry Farm, where participants can pick and sample a tray of luscious, ripe strawberries.

“We’ll be offering a complete experiential package,” Mr Jeffreys says. “On the way up to the Roys, we will throttle things up with a few breathtaking fishtails and donuts before pulling up on a palm tree-lined beach, where safari trekkers will be welcomed by local legends Henry and Janette Roy. “Their farm was established in the 1920s as Queensland’s biggest citrus farm.

It now grows Red Rhapsody strawberries – a variety bred right here on the Sunshine Coast by the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.”

Jetski to Strawberry Heaven is perfect for families and couples, and lasts about 90 minutes.

Mr Jeffreys says bookings are essential to ensure all COVID safety requirements were met.

“With sunny skies and warm waters, this is possibly the best time to see and experience the richness of the Sunshine Coast landscape and its produce.”

The Caloundra Seafood Safari will depart at midday each day over the August long weekend.

Jocelyn Walker and Zane Gorissen Zane Gorissen is only 12 years old, but the significance of Queensland’s fleet of RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopters isn’t lost on him. During July, RACQ LifeFlight Rescue held the inaugural Run to Rescue fundraiser and Zane set a fundraising goal of $700 and a challenge of completing 100 kilometres on his mountain bike.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD LEADER? Former AFL senior coach Paul Roos has teamed up with Beautiful Minds, founded on the Sunshine Coast, to help guide the leaders of tomorrow. WORDS: By Rachael Tickner.

AAP

W

hat really makes a true leader and is leadership something that can be learnt? Former Australian Rules footballer and AFL senior coach, Paul Roos has the answers.

While Mr Roos has swapped ovals for offices, as director of Performance by Design, he works with leaders around the country to help them improve.

Mr Roos says the top three attributes a good leader should have are self-awareness, empathy and effective communication.

“A leadership style that is inclusive is key,” Mr Roos says. “A really good leader has to involve all their staff and players. To be a good role model is to build great relationships and have really good self-awareness. And you can’t have a massive ego.”

Ms Roos speaks fondly of his first-ever experience with leadership and his mentors back in the ‘80s, when he was selected to play for Fitzroy Football Club in the under 19s team. He credits the great leaders that mentored him.

“Whether someone is a teacher, a coach

of the under 11s footy team or the CEO, there are leaders in all aspects of life,” he says. “It’s how those leaders act day to day and drive the people they are leading, which makes them have the qualities of a good leader. Everyone likes to feel valued and included.”

Mr Roos says when people talk about leadership, empowerment is an asset that is often discussed.

“It’s helping your staff in general, helping people make key decisions,

building relationships and having really honest conversations.

“Establishing a set of behaviours, rewarding good behaviour and challenging bad behaviour is also crucial in the workplace. Staff want to see their leaders having a healthy work-life balance. Taking care of themselves and being on top of their game. Whether that is taking time out for exercise, meditation or family time.”

Mr Roos is also a mentor with Beautiful Minds. Founded on the Sunshine Coast, Beautiful Minds is one of the nation’s leaders in performance and mental health fitness for kids aged eight to 17 years old.

Mr Roos is currently working with the Beautiful Minds leadership team on a collaborative program that will bring workshops to schools around the country, helping guide the leaders of tomorrow.

Linda Delamotte, Chair Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance

JOINING FORCES

T

hroughout our region there are many chambers of commerce, and other business groups where locals and those new to town can join and immediately gain a connection to people in business who are warm, welcoming, supportive, and very inclusive.

The Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance was established in 2009 when committee members from various chambers of commerce across the Coast came together so that, at a regional level, we could show our strength, combine resources and demonstrate a much louder voice that represented the Coast’s business community more broadly.

Our mission is to support and connect the region’s businesses and we continue to build strength in our

collaboration across the region’s business community today.

This support and connection is focussed on enabling a thriving business community that can achieve success and innovation, and this in turn creates strength in employment and in the economy of the region.

Our members are the various chambers of commerce, business groups and clusters who have their own membership base. All Alliance initiatives are focussed on building a connected and collaborative network with shared

“Our mission is to support and connect the region’s businesses” messaging and communication, contributing to our membership base, which means more people are connected and able to collaborate and maintaining connections with all levels of government.

We lead projects we believe will engage, inspire, and support the business community, and those projects currently include:

• Sunshine Coast Business Awards – celebrating local business excellence • Business mentoring – like-minded business mentors supporting business owners to achieve their goals • Business Sunshine Coast – a digital platform that enables easy and costeffective collaboration • Events – including our annual small business week celebration of all things business • Ripple effects – discovering and sharing business opportunities resulting from the large projects shaping our region.

Like the various chambers across the coast, the Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance, is made up of volunteers who are committed to making a difference for businesses across the Sunshine Coast by connecting people, identifying and creating opportunities and by recognising and sharing the many successful businesses we have in our own backyard.

If you are not a member of your local chamber of commerce, we urge you to reach out and connect to them. They offer a wealth of information and will ensure, as a local business owner, you are connected to the people in your region who help drive our economy from strength to strength.

For more information, visit sunshinecoastchamberalliance.com.au.

NO HOLES IN THIS BUCKET MADE BY LOCALS

With supporting local more important than ever, two Queensland companies – Hall Contracting and Atlas Heavy Engineering – have recently banded together to build one of the toughest marine digging buckets in Australia.

Cameron Hall, CEO of Sunshine Coast-based business Hall Contracting, says the company has been eager to engage a local supplier to undertake the specialised build rather than taking the project offshore.

“Typically, buckets of this nature are made in Europe and Asia, but we really pushed for it to be made here in Queensland,” he says.

“First and foremost, we wanted to support a local business, and we trusted that the product would be produced to high-quality standards.”

LOCAL CYCLE GROUPS UNITE IN SUPPORT OF THE M2M CYCLEWAY

After last week’s cover story addressing community concerns about the proposed M2M Maroochdyore to Mooloolaba Cycleway, My Weekly Preview received this response from a number of Sunshine Coast groups who are in favour of the proposal.

R

epresentatives of Suncoast Cycling Alliance, Starcycling Sunshine Coast, Sunshine Coast Spokes and Giant Sunshine Coast are calling on the government to proceed with the current proposal for Stage 6 of the M2M bikeway.

This active transport proposal is considered by many to be a critical and essential piece of infrastructure for the Sunshine Coast region.

In a joint approach, the leading groups representing and promoting active and safe transport on the Sunshine Coast are calling on the state government and the Sunshine Coast Council to support their continued investment in safe, equitable access to alternative, active

transport options. Those options must take in consideration all users including mobility assisted users, pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, etc.

These groups applaud the state government and the Sunshine Coast Council for pursuing this project and say without this type of alternative transport infrastructure, change will not happen and we will continue suffer increasing issues around traffic congestion.

Drew Westbrook, spokesperson for Suncoast Cycling Alliance states, “Fundamentally, this project is about removing barriers by providing equal and safe access for all users to the coast, the beach, parks and pathways.”

These groups believe the safety of all pedestrians including dog walkers, surfers, skateboarders and cyclists is currently compromised along this length of coastal pathway due to the insufficient width of the pathway. The current path network results in a high volume of users having to mix creating a poor amenity

outcome with a high risk of collision or unintentional interaction.

Bicycle riders, skateboard riders or scooter riders cannot ride on the road as it is too dangerous, given the speed of the traffic and the high risk of a fatal incident due to ‘dooring’ from the many parallel car parks in the corridor.

There has been claims that the cycleway is a race track for the ‘lycra clad riders’ and it will cater to a minority group. This active transport network is more than a dedicated cycle path. It includes a separated pedestrian pathway providing a delineated space for children to ride scooters, families on a bike ride, tourists wanting to enjoy the coastline, and local walkers, skateboarders, bike riders and scooters riders.

Addressing concerns about the removal of beachside car spaces, the groups say the proposal will provide increased parking with an additional 20 spaces. This means it will be easier to find a car park in the area on busy days.

The addition of off-street parking will reduce the risk of people riding bikes on roads being ‘doored’ when riding along this stretch of Aerodrome Road. This will also reduce the unnecessary interaction between active transport users and pedestrians on the existing footpaths, improving safety, comfort and travel time for all users.

This type of active transport infrastructure already exists on the Sunshine Coast in the form of Stage 2 from Mooloolah River to Amarina Avenue at Mooloolaba. This first stage has proven to be a success for the Sunshine Coast.

THE M2M CYCLEWAY AND CAR PARKS The Department of Transport and Main Roads says the preferred Stage 6 option may relocate up to 91 existing car parks along the Alexandra Headland foreshore area, which includes 79 parallel parks between Sixth Avenue and Mary Street at Maroochydore, and 12 angle parks near the Alexandra Headland Surf Life Saving Club.

The loss of the 91 spaces would be mitigated by providing around 111 new spaces in other locations along the corridor, resulting in a possible net gain of 20 new spaces, as well as eight additional motorcycle parking bays. Pick-up and drop-off bays are also being considered by the council.

One new car park is proposed to be built near the Seabreeze Caravan Park, with around 27 car spaces.

Another new car park is proposed to be built next to Okinja Road with approximately 78 car park spaces. An additional six angle car parks will be reinstalled at the northern end of the Alexandra Headlands Surf Club carpark. So while we’ll lose the convenience of the current beachside car spaces, additional spaces will be provided within walking distance of the beach.

The consultation period for Stage 6 of the Mooloolaba to Maroochydore cycleway will close on Friday, July 31.

To provide feedback on the preferred option for Stage 6 of the M2M cycleway, visit tmr.qld.gov.au/ m2mcycleway (external site) or email m2mcycleway@tmr.qld.gov.au.

TOP 5 CHILDREN’S BOOKS

Get back to basics by getting the kids into a good book! Help support local businesses by popping down to your local bookshop or visit a library with its vast array of literary gems. The magical worlds that books can bring to life are like no other.

LOCAL BOOK STORES Berkelouw Book Barn 87 Memorial Drive, Eumundi, 5442 8366 1. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ROALD DAHL (Best for ages 7-9)

2. A Bear Called Paddington MICHAEL BOND (Best for ages 7-9)

Book Summary: Willy Wonka has opened his world-famous chocolate factory to five lucky children who find a golden ticket hidden in one of his chocolate bars.

Book Summary: Paddington Bear has travelled from darkest Peru to London, where he meets a family called the Browns at Paddington Station.

This list of children’s books could be made up entirely of Roald Dahl books, such is the quality of this celebrated children’s author. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory makes it ahead of any other because it ticks the box for every kid’s fantasy – a magical chocolate factory where everything is edible. In the most hilarious of ways, Dahl’s book provides a great reminder to be kind to one another.

Much like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Winnie-thePooh, Paddington books and even toys are a staple of a newborn’s bedroom. This classic British children’s book features eight stories of the marmalade-loving bear, some of which you may recognise from the two films released recently.

The stories are quite bite-sized, making this book an excellent introduction to long-form reading and for moving from picture books to novels.

3. Matilda ROALD DAHL (Best for ages 9-11) Book Summary: Matilda is an extraordinary girl, but she’s oppressed by her horrible parents. When she signs up for school, she is top of her class but has to deal with the bully Miss Trunchbull.

Matilda is probably one of Roald Dahl’s most balanced works, mixing horrendous caricatures of the worst parents and teachers with those of hope and delight: Matilda, her teacher and her classmates.

Even in its most absurd moments, Matilda still fells incredibly relatable. Miss Trunchbull is the worst teacher you’ve ever had, and Miss Honey by comparison is a guardian angel.

4. The Hobbit JRR TOLKIEN (Best for ages 12+) Book Summary: Bilbo Baggins is a Hobbit who has a quiet life. That is until Gandalf the wizard comes calling with a band of dwarves in tow, who are looking for help stealing back their treasure.

The World of Middle Earth has one of the most developed in fantasy lore. The journey from the shire to the lonely mountain is wrought with trolls, goblins and enormous spiders as Frodo and company are guided by Gandalf. The Hobbit sets the scene for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it is just as good as a standalone book, as Bilbo faces his fears and trades his comfortable way of life for adventure and gold.

5. The Fault in our Stars JOHN GREEN (Best for ages 14+) Book Summary: Hazel is dying of cancer, but she starts a romance with Augustus. It’s a relationship that will change her outlook on love, despite the pain it will cause.

From the summary, you can tell this book is going to be an emotional read. The author does a compelling job in keeping the characters grounded and realistic, offering insight into a teen’s thought process when they are going to die. It’s a lesson to those reading that it’s better to love and be loved, despite the pain it may cause, and that life will throw a lot at you, so it’s essential to have strong support.

PROFILE

FORWARD THINKER Educator and inventor Amy-Rose Goodey’s love of technology has led her in surprising career directions. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

F

orest Glen tech entrepreneur Amy-Rose Goodey recently made headlines for her work on a futuristic headset designed to enhance life for people with ADHD and autism. Ms Goodey and Casey Pfluger, founder of Brisbane’s Cortex Brain Technologies, were prominent contenders in the 2020 Bionics Queensland Challenge.

While they didn’t progress to the finals, their device attracted a great deal of media attention and as a startup, they are hoping the exposure will attract the funding they need to progress.

The Cortex BCI Headset is a neurofeedback headset that interacts with a user’s brainwaves in a similar fashion to an MRI, but without the need for powerful electromagnets. It is a brain-training device that is designed to be inexpensive and be used at home for adults or children with a variety of neurological disorders to help transform undesirable brainwave activity into healthy activity.

“The Bionics Queensland Challenge was originally developed to help identify bionic innovation in the state and then share those innovations across the country,” Ms Goodey says.

“Participating in the Challenge gave us the opportunity to talk with leaders, mentors and people who have achieved great things in the medical technology industry. It was quite a pivotal moment for us. We are now in conversations with angel investors and we’re taking time to work on pitching to them.

“We really need investors and also people who want to be involved, because we are going to need to trial this product.”

manager of Blockchain Australia, the industry representative of the blockchain industry, a busy role she juggles with raising two young children.

“There are thousands of blockchain and cryptocurrency startups, companies and businesses,” she says. “It’s quite a new industry and it’s hard to navigate and quite unregulated. The top five banks are investing heavily in blockchain technology.

Most large companies are investing in blockchain technology and spending millions of dollars on it.”

Ms Goodey was drawn to blockchain due to its capacity to enable decentralised currencies such as cryptocurrencies that operate outside the purview of banks, and came to prominence in the industry through her sci-fi podcast, Widdershins, which attracts about one thousand downloads per episode.

“It’s a bit out of the box,” she says. “I take sci-fi themes from books I read and technologies from within those books, then I go to scientists and engineers who are developing the technology you read about in books. It’s mindblowing. For

Amy-Rose Goodey and (inset) her headset Mr Pfluger and his daughter both have ADHD and autism and his desire to find a neurofeedback therapy he could use with ease at home prompted his research into the headset, and Ms Goodey came on board to help push things forward.

A forward-thinking educator, researcher and innovator, Ms Goodey is involved in a variety of projects, all with the common theme of harnessing technology for the betterment of humankind.

“I’ve always wanted to help people and I’ve always loved technology,” she says.

“I’m very aware that technology can be used for both good and evil. I like to be involved in ethical and human-centred projects, and the headset is that.”

Ms Goodey is the membership

example, time travel is going to be possible. People say going forward is going to be easy, but going back in time will be the hard thing. I’ve converted my spare room into a podcast studio and I create it from there.”

Ms Goodey also helps facilitate a greater understanding of future technologies here on the Sunshine Coast through organising the monthly Sunshine Coast Technology Meetup. Usually hosted at the Innovation Centre, it has been operating online during COVID. “I’ve been organising the Sunshine Coast Technology Meetup since January 2019,” she says. “I’ve always been really passionate about emerging technologies and I wanted to make them accessible and easy to understand for people. We need people to become more involved in technology. We’re all going to live it and breathe it moving forward.”

Ms Goodey is a qualified building designer and when she realised her job would one day become redundant due to digital disruption, she began to take an interest in other jobs facing a similar fate.

To that end, she recently completed a postgraduate course in career counselling with the aim of helping people who are going to find themselves having to move into new careers in future. “I want to work with people on an individual level to help them move into the future of work,” she says. “There’s a lot of fear around it and I want to dispel those fears.”

“The Flinders Sport Scholarship gives developing and elite young athletes across a wide range of sports an opportunity to access a quality contemporary education,” Mr Meade says.

GRAMMAR UNVEILS NEW SCIENCE CENTRE

Following an increased demand in STEM education and growing interest in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning areas, Sunshine Coast Grammar is excited to announce the opening of their new Science Centre.

The much-anticipated building will add an additional three high-quality science laboratories and general learning spaces to their existing science precinct, which boasts a further six newly renovated, modern laboratories.

The new centre was completed in time for students returning to the classroom in

term two and the addition of this building will allow every science lesson to be held in a custom-built laboratory space.

Head of Science at Sunshine Coast Grammar School, Mr Chris Smith, is delighted with the completion of the project and says that the contemporary build certainly has a university-quality feel.

The new labs feature increased floor space, LED lighting for a full length 4.8-metre whiteboard, interactive touch 84-inch LED screens that connect wirelessly to any device, increased gas sensors and safety features. The labs also include industry standard safety features such as emergency showers and eye washes. One of the new laboratories features large windows to make learning transparent and showcase science teaching and learning at Grammar.

The additional labs and classrooms will allow for an expected increase in demand in science-based learning as Grammar continues to builds on the school’s reputation and results.

Prior to the new construction, the school had renovated all six existing laboratories, on a rotational basis, so that all nine laboratories are now effectively under six years old – this shows in the embedded technology (wireless projection, powered sound) and the industry standard learning spaces.

THE REWARDS OF BEING A SUPPORT WORKER

T

hey say if you love your job you’ll never work a day in your life. So it’s safe to say that STEPS Community Services disability support worker Rick Conroy has ‘never worked a day’ in the 24 years he’s been employed at STEPS. Disability support workers are the backbone of STEPS Community Services. They provide daily support to their clients in their homes, as well as provide companionship and promote independence and community participation.

Mr Conroy is one of 14 children, and is a caring and relaxed soul, who builds his professional relationships based on respect and a genuine consideration for his client’s entire wellbeing and quality of life.

“It’s a very rewarding job,” Mr Conroy says. “I’ve seen Scott progress a really long way with his independence over the time I have worked with him. The work also gives me job security and a lot of flexibility.

“Scott now lives in his own home. He gets to some of his own appointments, and he loves his computers and gadgets.

Disability support worker Rick Conroy and his client Scott helps me, and we help each other,” Mr Conroy adds.

“He’s come along in leaps in bounds over the years; he’s so capable in so many ways, and that’s what we’re here for, to help him live in the community and live his life.”

STEPS Community Services manager Josh Hansen is recruiting new support

workers to join the team and believes the longevity of the staff speaks volumes about working with STEPS. “STEPS very much lives and breathes by its values,” Mr Hansen says.

“We invest in our staff, and we listen to the needs of our participants, so we can be the provider of choice.

“We offer flexible working

arrangements, salary packaging and a highly skilled and experienced team.

“It’s also a very secure industry to work in – the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the fastest growing sector. Workforce studies show our region is going to require around 5000 to 6000 full-time equivalent staff to meet the demands of the NDIS.” Scott says it’s not just day-to-day tasks Mr Conroy helps him with; it’s getting out and having fun too. “We went to the watch the State of Origin in Brisbane and we go to camps as well,” he says.

“The three-day STEPS’ camps are unreal; it’s just great to see everyone get out of routine and have some fun,” Mr Conroy says. “Scott loves to take all his gadgets to camp too!”

When asked what makes a good support worker, Mr Conroys says it’s important to listen.

“Have a good ear, be easygoing, and don’t judge people because everyone has a story.”

NDIS FEATURE

Debbie Blumel, CEO Children’s Therapy Centre

COLLABORATION THE KEY TO BUILD INDEPENDENCE The Community Collective Qld is a registered NDIS provider, based here on the Sunshine Coast. The customerfocused organisation has a collaborative and passionate approach to providing a range of services to improve the lives of those it is privileged to work with.

It does this by offering services such as assisting with finding employment, NDIS support, and creating community activities to help empower participants.

The Community Collective Qld believes every person has different experiences, aspirations and strengths. In particular it has a keen focus on helping school leavers transition into the workforce and provides additional

guidance to foster new skills, workplace experience and giving them a step towards living a life independently.

The organisation continually works with a variety of schools on the Sunshine Coast in support of providing their students and parents with key information on transitioning into the next stage.

The highly experienced and responsive team sees everyone it works with as an individual and specifically tailors their journey to their needs to provide a sense of purpose and enable them to become their own solution.

To find out more, visit facebook. com/thecommunitycollectiveqld.

GUARANTEED SAME-DAY PLAN MANAGEMENT NDIS participants can put book-keeping hassles behind them with the launch of a new plan-management service that guarantees same-day invoice processing.

Your Choice Plan Management was launched this week and promises to bring much-needed relief to NDIS participants, carers and service providers.

Your Choice Plan Management was created by the not-for-profit Children’s Therapy Centre, which operates across the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie and Caboolture.

Your Choice Plan Management was designed to guarantee same-day processing on invoices. That’s great for

business cash flow and it’s better for participants because it happens in real time.

NDIS providers can simply email invoices to Your Choice Plan Management, or even a photo of the invoice. Smart software then ‘reads’ the invoice within seconds and processes it against the participant’s plan. If it is correct, it is forwarded to the NDIS for payment. If something is not right, a team member investigates to solve the problem. The NDIS typically pays overnight and the payments are forwarded immediately.

Your Choice plan managers are selected for their people skills as well as their financial management skills. They chose to work with us because they want to help people. Plan managers also offer tips on getting the most out of plans. They take the hassle out of book-keeping so people can spend time doing the things they love. NDIS participants can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re getting the most out of their plans and that providers have been paid promptly and correctly.

Why wouldn’t you choose more time to enjoy life?

Your Choice Plan Management is NDIS-registered and has been quality certified by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

MY OPINION

PUFFER JACKETS – YES OR NO?

A BRIGHT IDEA

Sami Muirhead is horrified to discover her love for puffer jackets places her into a certain age category she is slowly becoming resigned to.

Buderim’s Ken O’Flaherty introduces the Buderim Foundation, a decades-old community group that works to improve Buderim’s lifestyle.

T

his week my world was rocked by some fashion news: puffer jackets are for middle-aged people. That’s according to my friend Candice Collins, who is such a force to be reckoned with that most of her friends refer to her by both names.

Candice Collins is a mum of four kids and knows a lot of stuff, such as the best lunchbox to buy and what to do when my kids have nits. We all need that friend. She is kind and smart, but the kicker is the fact she still cares about her appearance.

Candice Collins wore leopard high heels to the school swimming carnival.

Boom! Time stood still as she strode across the poolside in those fabulous heels to rush goggles to one of her daughters. I looked down at my Converse sneakers and thought, I am getting old.

This puts Candice Collins into a category I am a little in awe of, but also makes me feel a little resigned to the fact my best years are behind me when it comes to rocking certain fashion. I need to get drunk with Candice Collins and ask if she wears Spanx knickers. I would rather eat chopped liver than wear Spanx. Or high heels for that matter. My poor husband. I have started wearing Ugg boots to the school drop-off every morning. And no bra. This not walking into the school grounds rule (thanks to COVID) has to have some benefits.

Anyway, we were on the footy field

sideline on the weekend and I told Candice Collins I am obsessed with puffer jackets.

The nurse replied to me, “Yeah so am I and I think that makes us old or at least middle-aged.”

My mind was spinning and I started to think of all my friends who wear puffer jackets. I do not think any are under 30 and many are over 50. This is not old I realise, as I nudge this age, but it was a slap in the face to think I have become obsessed with an item of clothing that dates me.

Are puffer jackets really for old people?

Are puffer jackets daggy? I think they are the ultimate, as it is like wrapping my body in a big pillow with pockets that I can shove full of all my comfort items including lollies and lip balm.

I have started searching for young trendy things sporting a puffer jacket in the shopping centres. They are proving elusive.

I now need my reading glasses pretty much all the time and this ages me. I cannot have the kids talking while I am trying to find a car park. My mum used to do that and I would sit rolling my eyes. I drink tea and eat fruit cake on a good night. I wear sensible flat shoes and I always carry a water bottle with me.

So if you spot a young thing (not a toddler) in their twenties or thirties wearing a puffer jacket, let me know. In the meantime, I will just be happy doing my crossword and drinking my sherry on a Friday night.

launched by the former Governor General of Australia, Dame Quentin Bryce, AC, CVO, on April 6, 2004.

The concept is simple. Donations and bequests are received and invested to generate income, which is then distributed as grants to Buderim-based community organisations. A number of local business sponsors cover the administration expenses so that the total income from the investment can be used. The desired outcomes for the Foundation include

“The Buderim Foundation has awarded grants worth over $550,000” protecting and preserving the natural environment, assisting people in need to live healthy and fulfilling lives, adding richness and diversity to local artistic and cultural endeavours, increasing learning opportunities across all age groups, encouraging and supporting those with sporting and other recreation interests and supporting the youth in our community.

Grants were first awarded in 2008 and since then, the Buderim Foundation has awarded grants worth over $550,000 to 80 community organisations.

ugh Mackay the famous Australian researcher and author once said, “I urge you to support, cherish and nourish your organisation, if the unique quality of Buderim is to be maintained.”

This has been the underlying philosophy of the Buderim War Memorial Community Association (BWMCA) for the past 75 years since it was established in 1945 by the then small community of Buderim to serve as a living memorial to those who served and died to defend our values and way of life.

The BWMCA provides an umbrella of access under which a large number of community groups of every description, including sport and recreation clubs, social and community service organisations, cultural and special interest groups, schools and churches are affiliated.

In the late ‘90s it became evident to the management committee of the BWMCA that if they were to continue providing financial support for Buderim community, they would need to establish a fundraising arm. A committee was formed to assess the feasibility of a community foundation. Eventually, after much research, it was determined to establish The Buderim Foundation.

The Buderim Foundation not-for-profit public company was registered under the Commonwealth Corporations Act 2001 on December 23, 2003, and was formally

urves, arches and new looks for old favourites will dominate interior trends this season, according to a leading Australian interior stylist.

Carpet Court ambassador and stylist Heather Nette King says while relaxation

is always high on the agenda, home owners are now spending more time at home than ever in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. This means we are looking to create spaces where we feel safe and cocooned, she says.

“The classic looks re-emerging this

season feel timeless and reassuring. But make no mistake, there’s nothing oldfashioned about them – contemporary touches and careful editing give them a thoroughly modern appeal,” she says.

Two of the biggest looks coming our way are Modern Mono and Euro Retro.

To create this Modern Mono look in your own home, work from the ground up.

“Gorgeous flooring is the hero feature and creates the basis of this look. We chose Herringbone laminate in Ferrara Oak for the dining area. It has a soft, sophisticated appearance and its mid tones work beautifully with black and white. As an easy-to-install laminate, it’s hardworking and durable – perfect for a busy dining and entertaining spot,” Ms Nette King says.

“For the adjoining living area, we chose plush carpet in a mid-neutral shade – Luxe Palette twist pile in Honeysuckle. It has the sink-yourtoes-in softness you want in a relaxation zone and contrasts nicely with the hard flooring beside it.

“For the window coverings, we selected innovative new Veri Shades in a linen-look fabric, which look like soft, billowing curtains, but act like vertical blinds to give you full control of privacy and light. You can even walk right through them, making them a great choice for exterior doors leading onto a balcony or deck.

“Complete the look by adding in furniture with simple, fuss-free lines and curved backs, crisp linens, and touches of brass and marble,” Ms Nette King says.

TRENDS

What is Modern Mono?

What is Euro Retro?

Think contemporary meets classic monochromatic.

With its clean, graphic lines and simple palette of black, white and touches of grey, it has a timeless and sophisticated feel. But rather than the angular lines and harsh contrasts we usually associate with this aesthetic, today’s version is soft and refined, with rounded lines, textural, natural touches and plenty of breathing space.

Fabrics are tactile and beautiful, and small details such as exposed seams and contrast stitching pack a powerful punch. Floorboards are richly hued, but instead of being laid in straight lines, they are given a luxurious feel via intricate herringbone and chevron patterns.

“The Modern Mono look works equally well in older and contemporary homes,” Ms Nette King says. “You don’t need soaring ceilings or period features to pull it off – it’s all about palette and material choices.”

If you love colour and all things glam, the Euro Retro trend is guaranteed to set your pulse racing. It certainly did for us thanks to the rich jewel tones that evoke a sense of decadence and excitement.

It’s an irresistible combination when paired with retro-inspired furniture and luxurious fabrics.

The Euro Retro look stems from our ongoing love affair with Art Deco and mid-century styling, Ms Nette-King says.

It features many of the hallmarks of designs from these periods, including furniture with exaggerated curves, statement lighting, terrazzo flooring and touches of bling. But it’s brought up-to-date with minimalist detailing and a careful approach to colour.

“While it’s a natural choice for heritage homes, this look translates well to contemporary abodes too,’’ she says.

“Use it to up the luxe factor in cosy spots such as a bedroom or study, or to add drama to a dining room.

“The key to success with this look is not to overdo it with the colours.”

Ms Nette King says flooring plays a crucial role in this look.

Here, Carpet Court’s Elements Hybrid tile in bronze has been used for the living and dining areas.

“Terrazzo is right on trend and injects an opulent feel into the space,” Ms Nette King says. “To delineate the dining area and add warmth underfoot, we included a rug with an organic pattern that picks up on the blue walls.

“For the bedroom, we selected a bright and refreshing teal coloured carpet.

It sits beautifully alongside a luxurious gold-toned bedcover, rich amethyst walls and petrol-blue detailing.

“With the spring season nearly upon

us, there’s no better time to give your home a new look. Fortunately there are plenty of ways to do it without breaking the bank.”

Tips Love the Euro Retro look? Let these key points guide you.

• Limit your palette to three or four hues.

• Select furniture, lighting and accessories in curvy, retro shapes.

• Don’t be afraid to mix and match.

• When it comes to upholstery, think simple and luxurious – velvet is ideal.

FLOORING

HEALTHY

home A healthy home is important to us all and your choice of flooring and window furnishings should suit your family needs and lifestyle. Starting at underlay, through to carpet or hard flooring to window furnishings, there is a range of options available to suit any renovator. The team at Choices Flooring share the following tips to help you on your flooring project.

MEASURING THE ROOM It’s a good idea to have an idea of how much flooring you need for a particular space before you head into a local store. Follow these easy steps to measure up your room.

ALL NATURAL There is no denying that the more natural a fibre is, the healthier it is. Wool carpets are no exception. As one of the purest of carpets available straight from the sheep’s back to the floor, wool carpets are as natural in look as they are in colour – and with limited treatments added.

1. You will need a tape measure, paper, pen, calculator or measure phone app.

2. Roughly draw the shape of your room. Include any cupboard areas or doorways.

3. Measure the length of your room and mark it up on your drawing.

4. Do the same for the width of your room.

5. Make sure you measure past the threshold of any doorway by 10 centimetres.

FAMILY FRIENDLY JUST RIGHT Jute rugs are 100 per cent bio-degradable and recyclable and one of the most environmentally friendly rugs, as they are made of dried plant fibres. They have an inherent natural beauty for any space in the home and they exude a natural and textural appearance while also being surprisingly soft.

Abode Grande rigid flooring is a great hard flooring solution for busy family homes. It is 100 per cent waterproof, and it’s wet- and steam-mop friendly, making for easy and effective cleaning. It’s free from silica, industrial chemicals and other harmful content. As well as being anti-bacterial, Abode Grande is FloorScore certified – this is the most recognised indoor air quality certification for flooring, making it suitable for sensitive individuals. It’s available from Choices Flooring.

6. Multiply the two measurements to calculate the amount of carpet required.

Add 10 per cent to cover any wastage.

7. To calculate hard flooring, multiply the two measurements and then add five per cent.

Transform your home

GET busy

A

ustralians have been busy. Interior design leaders Houzz recently surveyed its community to find out how the coronavirus pandemic impacted home-improvement projects. The survey of more of 2200 Australian homeowners found that nearly two-thirds of homeowners – who were in the midst of, or were planning a home renovation or design project when the coronavirus pandemic was declared on March 12, 2020 – were able to continue with their renovations (62 per cent). Only two per cent cancelled an ongoing project. Of the 25 per cent who put their project on hold, more than half felt their project was not urgent and could resume at a later date.

Project: Tasteful makeover Room: Kitchen Product: Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan STEPS: Start by giving your kitchen cabinets a clean with soapy water to remove any oil or grease.

When dry, apply your first coat of Chalk Paint using an Annie Sloan flat brush for a smooth finish.

Leave plenty of time to dry, before painting on the second coat of paint.

Once dry, finish with at least two coats of protective finishing sealant: Chalk Paint Wax to emphasise the paint colour and give a mellow velvety finish; Gloss Chalk Paint Lacquer to give a light sheen; or, Matt Chalk Paint Lacquer to give a sophisticated, plush, muted look.

HOUZZ KEY FINDINGS • Spending time at home inspires future projects: Confinement to our homes has inspired homeowners to upgrade certain areas of the home to better enjoy it. In fact, three-quarters of homeowners reported they were thinking of changes that would help them enjoy their home more, with outdoor, kitchen and bathroom projects topping wish lists (30 per cent, 26 per cent and 24 per cent, respectively).

IMAGE: ANNIE SLOAN

• Doing more activities in the home: Fifty-six per cent of Australian homeowners reportedly spent more time at home decluttering or organising their homes, followed by cleaning and tidying up at 51 per cent.

• Using online tools to continue renovating: More than four in five homeowners with ongoing home improvement projects were working with home professionals. Many homeowners reported they found it helpful to use online tools for shopping, invoicing and payments, remote communication and contract approvals, in order to move forward with their projects.

Clever design saves budget and time

W design dream With Cassandra Fenaughty Cassandra Fenaughty is a landscape architect with more than 20 years’ experience. She’s the founder and owner of an innovative new renovation design consultancy, creating photo-real renovation concepts for clients looking to visualise their dream renovation before it begins. For more visit cassandrafenaughty.com.

hen Kath and Dave contacted me I was pretty excited. They had a renovation project consisting of bathroom, living and exterior works.

The couple didn’t have a huge budget but were willing to undertake some of the works themselves, and had already started on the front and back yards.

The Mountain Creek home had already had an extension done by previous owners, so Kath and Dave were really just looking to refresh their bathrooms, living spaces and outdoor areas without any major construction works.

We agreed that in order to keep costs down, the bathroom footprints would generally be retained and the couple could simply install new vanities, fittings and tiles. We chose to keep a neutral palette that wouldn’t date if they decided to stay long term, but if they decided to sell it would appeal to a wide range of future buyers.

We decided on simple white gloss tiles to the ceiling for most of the bathroom walls, with a stone-look tile for the floor and up a feature wall in the shower.

The exterior works were well underway and with a little advice about fire pits, paint colours and low-maintenance plant species, the couple were set to finish the job.

Surprisingly the lounge room was the biggest room for a transformation.

Currently only being used as a TV room, with the back of a couch facing the outdoor pool area, there was a lot of potential for this space to be used a lot more. The living room was also the first main room to be seen from the home’s entry – the first impression room – and is extremely important if Kath and Dave decide to sell in the future.

By changing wall colours, swapping a window for a set of doors onto the patio, and re-orientating the furniture, we agreed on a design that would transform the look, feel and use of the home. New vinyl plank flooring added a practicality to the space often occupied by the family cats and spoodle puppy, while sheer curtains and blockout blinds allowed the space to be used as a TV room.

Kath and Dave are well into their renovations now and we can’t wait to see photos of the results.

Winter wonders Shying away from the pool area due to the cold weather? With these useful ideas, you will be enjoying your outdoor space again before you know it.

If you’re a pool owner or planning to be one, you’ll know that your time, money and heart go into creating the pool you’ve always wanted. It certainly takes a lot of work to create the perfect pool space.

So why should the fun times stop just because summer is over?

A pool and its surrounding space don’t need to be left deserted for six months each year – there’s plenty you can do to liven up your poolside area and make it as exciting to be around in winter as it is in summer.

By considering what you can add in terms of entertainment, comfort and functionality, you’ll be able to devise the perfect winter wonderland for you and your family, with your pool at the centre of the fun. Narellan Pools offers the following tips for transforming your pool area into a winter wonderland.

tip Keep in mind that it’s always a good idea to select weather-resistant outdoor cushions and fabrics, as they are designed to endure wet weather, which could rot regular fabric.

Image: Narellan Pools ENTERTAINING AREA UPGRADES As social restrictions ease, you’ll likely be more eager than ever to have friends over to share the beauty of your pool area. If your outdoor entertaining area isn’t quite up to scratch, there are various ways to transform the space.

First things first, ensure you have enough seating and table space to accommodate family and friends. Then decide on a theme for your outdoor entertaining area, which will extend through to the soft furnishings you add, like cushions, throw rugs, vases and dinner

sets. Perhaps you like the Hamptons look, or maybe dark and moody is your preference? Is earthy and natural more your taste, or do you like a modern, minimalist approach to decoration?

If you’re needing inspiration as to what theme you should go for, look online for pictures of outdoor entertaining areas you like, and take note of the colours and furnishings used. At the end of the day, you don’t even have to decide on one particular theme – you could opt for furnishings in your favourite colours.

POOL HEATING If an extended swimming season is what you’re looking for, you may want to consider investing in pool heating. With pool heating installed, you’ll be able to swim in water of a pleasant temperature, well into the cooler months.

A dip in the warm water makes for a great start to a chilly day, and provides a great way to soothe your muscles and unwind after a hectic day. Pool heating is particularly useful for those who want to swim most days of the week, even as it gets cooler outside.

POOLSIDE FURNISHINGS Consider investing in a fire pit. Not only do they do a great job of keeping you warm, they also look really fantastic in a poolside space, and can encourage family and friends to sit and chat together well into the evening. Have mugs of hot chocolate ready and you’ll have the perfect, warm get-together destination in your backyard.

Want a new way to do a movie night with family? Pitch up a family-sized tent in the backyard and get the devices and snacks ready. You’ll stay nice and cozy inside your tent, and if you wake early enough, sunrise with your pool in view will make for a glorious morning.

1. DOES YOUR POOL QUOTE INCLUDE COUNCIL APPROVAL? Adding a pool to your home requires building approval from your local council.

To avoid delaying the construction process, find a pool builder who includes the council’s tick of approval in their quote. If they don’t, you will have to organise the documentation yourself and pay any extra fees.

It pays to check if your pool builder also includes insurance or warranty for the project. The right poolside professionals will have SPASA accreditations and be able to provide peace of mind with a warranty for your investment.

2. DOES YOUR POOL QUOTE INCLUDE LANDSCAPING?

Get it right

C

omparing pool quotes can be a little like comparing apples and oranges. The promise of a cheap price and a quick deal can seem alluring, but do you know what your quote actually includes? Sean Lynch – managing director of Poolfab Pool + Landscape Creations on the Sunshine Coast – says

a professional pool builder will provide a detailed quote that explains all of the components needed to install your pool.

Most importantly, you won’t have to call different subcontractors to finish the job.

Here are his four fundamental questions to ask when comparing pool quotes.

Come and see us for all your DIY at home projects!

Building a pool should be more than just putting a concrete hole in the ground. A pool should become an oasis, a place you can relax on a summer afternoon. It will be your welcome relief to a long working week. Best of all, it will be a place of endless entertainment for the family, providing lifelong memories to treasure.

So, how does your concrete slab turn into the pool of your dreams?

The right landscaping will provide a dramatic difference in the appearance of your pool. The paving, the plants and the

poolside materials all contribute to the process of turning your pool from drab to fab. Make sure when you are comparing pool quotes that you check whether each quote includes landscaping. This way, your pool will be the finished product that you envision.

3. DOES YOUR POOL QUOTE INCLUDE FENCING? One of the most important aspects of your pool is being able to keep your family safe.

Ask your pool builder whether the fencing is following Queensland laws or whether it is a temporary fixture. Some pool quotes will only include a temporary fence and will expect you to organise someone to finish the job. Does the pool builder include a safety gate or certificate on completion?

Avoid being caught on the fence and choose a pool builder who has your family’s safety in mind.

4. DOES YOUR POOL QUOTE INCLUDE HOW TO CLEAN YOUR POOL? Who enjoys swimming in a slimy green pool? Included in your quote should be any equipment needed to keep your pool looking spick and span. The handover to your pool should also include a complete lesson on how to maintain the pool. As a

Safety first If you are looking to install a pool ready for the summer heat, there are many things to consider, from the type of pool you desire to where you will locate it and how you will style the finished product.

But there is another major factor you will need to plan for – meeting safety

regulations. The government’s safety regulations are in place to reduce preventable drownings by preventing unsupervised access to home pool areas, and failure to comply could mean a hefty fine. Here are some of the areas you will need to plan for.

OTHER STRUCTURES If there are existing structures, plants or furniture in the area around where you wish to locate the pool, you must ensure they do not unintentionally provide an access point for the pool if they were to be climbed. Remember that anything you place near the pool fence effectively reduces the height requirement of that fence.

GATES Pool gates must not open inwards to the area and must be self-closing and self-latching. The latches need to be located at least 1500 millimetres high from ground level and 1400 millimetres from the top part of the lower horizontal railings.

FOR STYLE and Security Choose Colorbond® Fencing

tip FENCES A minimum height from the finished ground level to the top of the fence needs to be 1200 millimetres, allowing less than a 100-millimetre gap from the ground to the bottom of the fence. Horizontal rails must be at least 900 millimetres apart if they are on the outside of the pool, or placed inside the pool area if they are less, to prevent children from climbing them to get in.

Glass panels give a sophisticated look to a pool area and provide unobstructed views inside while also negating the need for horizontal fence supports that could be climbed on.

SIGNAGE You need to secure a compliant CPR sign to the pool fence or in an easily visible area near the pool.

Did you know?

You cannot allow access through a door from the house or other building into the pool area and any surrounding windows must not open more than 100 millimetres, or have a security screen fitted.

NO SIGN OF MARKET MELTDOWN IN COAST PROPERTY

W

hile some headlines would have us believe that the property market is in meltdown, the truth is that the pandemic has had a minimal impact on prices so far – certainly not the drastic 30 per cent drop that has been suggested. What we’re now seeing in Australia is closer to a five per cent fall in property prices and that’s only in some specific areas.

In fact, the Sunshine Coast is

currently experiencing over seven per cent growth, rental returns are still strong at five per cent and demand is high. It also makes sense to borrow money, as interest rates are the lowest they’ve ever been.

Making property predictions is hard, especially in these uncertain times. But what we do know is that property markets have proved remarkably resilient so far – they haven’t ‘fallen off a cliff’ and there are no indications from any sector that they will.

Factor in, too, that our little pocket of paradise on the Sunshine Coast is more popular than ever, with more and more people moving here, driving property demand even higher.

Remember that property is a longterm investment – 10 years, maybe more – so investors shouldn’t base their investment decisions on today’s headlines, plus the current economic climate will be history in 12 to 18 months.

Quality property in popular areas is still, and always will be, a sound investment.

For motivated investors, there are solid buying opportunities in the market at a time when there’s less competition, interest rates are at an all-time low, property prices are relatively stable and

“Our little pocket of paradise on the Sunshine Coast is more popular than ever…”

migration to Queensland and the Sunshine Coast is on the rise.

So, if you’ve been thinking about investing in property but haven’t done anything yet, find out more about why the right conditions exist now.

“

Corey Payne consistently exceeded my expectations. Examples included: the quality of the photo/video presentation of the property; the management of the sales and contractual processes; as well as the expert help and support that he provided throughout. By developing productive relationships with all parties involved Corey did so much to ensure that the processes ran smoothly with minimum delay and uncertainty. I particularly appreciated his professionalism which helped me overcome my emotional attachment to a beautiful home and eased the transition to one more suited to my current needs.

“We think council and SunCentral have done a terrific job with their vision for the Maroochydore City Centre” owned, we can invest in these sorts of opportunities with the long term in mind without getting caught up in shorttermism or short-term fluctuations.

Since we commenced 15 years ago,

we’ve always based our strategy with the best long-term results in mind, and the Maroochydore City Centre is a precinct we think has tremendous potential,” he adds.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson says he is pleased to see the Habitat team commence construction at Market Lane.

“I commend Habitat Development Group for their foresight and enthusiasm in embracing our vision for the new Maroochydore City Centre.

“This project will provide a new accommodation option for some of the thousands of people who will ultimately work in the Maroochydore City Centre.

“Having people live close to where they work in our new city centre adds to the vibrancy and activation of the city core, which is an important and attractive feature of some of the leading cities across the globe.

“From an economic point of view,

the commencement of the Market Lane project next month comes at an important time as the region starts to make its way through the recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, by creating new employment opportunities for local tradespeople and suppliers,” Mayor Jamieson adds.

SunCentral chief executive officer John Knaggs says it is important to have construction commence on site as the first commercial building in the CBD, Foundation Place, is due for completion in late September this year.

“We are also thrilled with Cleighton’s commitment and confidence in the Sunshine Coast and the city centre project by securing a second site for Habitat Development Group.

“It’s a significant shot in the arm for the project, particularly as we emerge from the impact of COVID-19, and it also reinforces our urban design and planning principles to create a vibrant city centre,” Mr Knaggs says.

The Kenilworth Community Transport Service plays a vial role in the community

Local service still moving WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

O

ne of the Sunshine Coast’s smallest towns will continue to benefit from a volunteer-led transport service assisting isolated residents reach nearby communities.

Sunshine Coast Council has approved

myweeklypreview.com.au

71.indd 1

ongoing support for the Kenilworth Community Transport Service through the Transport Levy.

The initiative began in June 2019, after the area failed to secure a bus service, and co-ordinator David Coles says it is fulfilling a vital hole in the community.

LOCALNEWS@MYWEEKLYPREVIEW.COM.AU

“[Residents] have got a fall-back option, particularly people who don’t drive or can’t drive anymore,” Mr Coles says.

“The people who appreciate it most are those who have lived here for a long time and their kids have moved away and they have no way to get to specialist, doctor or dentist appointments.”

Mr Coles says the organisation is appreciative of the council’s continuing support.

Division 10 Councillor David Law says the pre-booked service provides a cost-effective transport option, with a flat fee round trip cost of $8.

“The service has been a success with a number of residents regularly travelling to Nambour, Maleny, Mapleton, Eumundi and Yandina,” Cr Law says.

Mr Coles says the next step is to increase the catchment area, which currently only allows residents who live within a 6.5-kilometre radius of the Kenilworth Post Office to use the service.

“What we want to do is to expand our catchment area.”

“There are a lot of people who live in some of the smaller places around Kenilworth – we even drive past some of their houses on the way to Nambour, but we can’t pick them up.”

“It’s really hard to say ‘no we can’t’.”

A report to consider changes to the service will be presented to council as part of a future Ordinary meeting.

Sand pump to start A project to pump 50,000 cubic metres of sand along the foreshore between Alexandra Headlands and Cotton Tree is set to start in August.

Divisional Councillor Joe Natoli says since the Maroochydore Beach Renourishment Project began in 2013 it has successfully protected the well-loved location.

“About every two years council replenishes the sand along Maroochydore Beach to widen the beach and uphold the erosion buffer,” Cr Natoli says.

“The buffer protects important community infrastructure such as the surf lifesaving towers, viewing decks, car parks, roads, park and playgrounds from severe erosion caused by storms, swells and weather events.

“This buffer needs to be approximately 50 metres wide to provide certainty of protection to these areas during an extreme storm.

“Sand renourishment, dune revegetation and protection, and limiting beach access points are all part of the current shoreline management approach on Maroochydore Beach, which is expected to continue for many years to come.”

Access to some of the car park on Cotton Tree Parade and Memorial Avenue, the nearby beach and sand spit will be restricted.

The project will run for two months.

Joey Scouts commissioner Nick Warwick with Archie McMillian

Devoted Scout recognised WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

H

e’s only seven years old but Kawana Scouts Group’s Archie McMillan recently became the sixth Queensland Joey Scout in history to be recognised for his outstanding efforts.

Archie, who is a year two student at Mountain Creek State School, was

awarded the Branch Commissioner’s Award after raising $716 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

Proud mother Colleen McMillian says she is so “excited” with her son’s achievement.

“Him winning this award was actually such a surprise to us,” Ms McMillian says.

“We knew he was getting a badge – that’s what he was working towards doing because he is turning eight soon [and] he will be moving up to Cub Scouts.”

Ms McMillian says as part of gaining his badge, Archie participated in the Starlight Super Swim, swimming 5.5 kilometres in 30 days.

“Archie completed the swim for his ‘Duty to others’ component of his Joey Promise Challenge,” Ms McMillian says.

“He did 15 swims in 30 days.

“He was also in the top five sevenyear-olds in Australia who participated in the swim and he raised double the funds of the average participant in the swim.”

Ms McMillian says this is the first time the award, and associated Joey Scouts medallion, has been given out in Queensland in four years.

“The chief commissioner said on the day Archie’s was one of the best Joey performances he has ever seen. His name is now going up on a wall of honour in the Brisbane office.”

Archie has been part of the local Scouts for 18 months and Ms McMillian says he loves the activities.

“As a parent I love the values Scouts instil in them; giving back to the community is a big one.”

Archie is now excited to join his nine-year-old brother in Cub Scouts.

New brewery opens The Sunshine Coast’s newest brewery celebrated its opening recently with the owners reporting it was a huge success. Stalwart Alehouse and Brewery is on Currie Street, Nambour with its range of craft beers inspired by Native Americans and the stories of Kabi Kabi people.

Range gym gets funding boost Range Community Gym and Fitness Centre Association in Mapleton will benefit from $10,000 to expand its gym floor thanks to Sunshine Coast Council funding.

It comes as the council announces the second stage of successful applicants from its COVID-19 Community Response Grants.

Instructor Paul Parker says the grant will make a huge difference to its largely senior member base and allow more participants to stay active and healthy while remaining COVID safe.

“It’s been run by the community since 2001 and is a great place that makes a real

Range Community Gym difference to members’ health and social wellbeing,” Mr Parker says.

“This grant will help continue that strong community spirit.”

POLICE BRIEFS Do you know what the rules of the yellow traffic light are?

The yellow traffic signal has been put in place after the green to warn motorists that the traffic signal is about to turn red in approximately four to six seconds. The yellow signal does not mean drivers should speed up and try to get through an intersection quickly before the signal turns red.

If you are travelling at speed on the

green light, this should give you sufficient time to stop safely at the intersection if the light turns yellow or to proceed through to clear the intersection before the light turns red.

If you proceed through a yellow traffic light and had a reasonable amount of time to safely stop, you may be issued with a traffic infringement notice that carries the penalty of $400. The same rules apply if you are riding a bicycle.

It might not be the most emotionally comfortable time to retire or invest right now - but there are ways you can still go about it that will allow you to survive whatever happens. The good news is that in every scenario there are seeds of opportunity where you might even benefit from the current downturn.

2020 has already surpassed most ‘would be’ retiree’s worst nightmares. Time stops for no one and even during these unprecedented world events - retirement still happens!

The trick of retirement is to at least maintain the lifestyle you already have - and hopefully improve on it. It is not a lot to ask after working most of your life but there are a few tricks to planning a successful retirement that should not be overlooked.

To help you understand the various aspects of investment and retirement we usually have monthly Free seminars in our Buderim premises but with the number of participants being limited with the Coronavirus that is no longer possible forcing us to have smaller numbers at our seminars, scheduled on a more frequent basis to meet the demand.

Topics to be covered include: ✓ How to guard your life savings against these uncertain times. ✓ How to go about Semi Retirement (Transition to Retirement) ✓ The changes to Superannuation. ✓ What you can expect from Centerlink. ✓ Financial planning fees and charges.

Business centre reopens

Caloundra City Council and am looking forward to again making a meaningful difference to both my local community and the broader Sunshine Coast.

Local government has changed considerably since I was last a councillor.

While the principles are similar, the complexity and scope is significantly larger and faster paced. The Belcarra Legislation introduced by the state government has constrained what councillors can and can’t do – making compliance, accountability and declarations of conflicts of interest much more complicated than they used to be.

I have, however, warmly welcomed the live-streaming of Sunshine Coast Council meetings, as it gives residents a window into what really goes on, although at times it may not be very interesting. I encourage you to tune in and hear first-hand about the kind of issues brought forward for consideration by council.

In this term of council I will be serving the entire region as the Portfolio Chair for Service Excellence (Customer Service). I co-chair this role with my experienced colleague Cr Christian Dickson (Division 6), so please don’t hesitate to contact our offices for enquiries relating to customer service, local laws, administration, waste management and development assessment.

Endeavour Foundation employees are back at work

A

fter four months of lockdown, 63 supported staff from Maroochydore’s Endeavour Foundation business solutions centre could not wipe the smiles off their faces as they returned to work.

Senior site manager Jason Jewry says the transition back is running smoothly as foundation introduces new COVID safe procedures with everyone more than excited to be back.

“We were forced to stand down our

supported employees in April,” Mr Jewry says.

“Meaningful and purposeful work is so important in their everyday life and so many of our staff reported seeing smiles and lots of laughter.”

Supported employees, living with intellectual disabilities, assist in document destruction and business solutions for local brands. Mr Jewry says the foundations hopes to bring more employees on in the coming months.

Students busy building an aeroplane WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

S

A Burnside student get hands on

tudents with a passion for engineering are busy building an aircraft as part of a hands-on learning experience at Burnside State High School.

Through their senior schooling, 14 year 12 students are constructing a two-seater Zenith 701 aircraft that will one day be flown in the sky.

Teacher Adrian Casten says it has been “full on” to get the project off the ground but the students are “loving it”.“It’s a great opportunity for the kids to learn all the skills, and we have a lot of [experts] coming in and teaching the kids,” he says.

The students are working to assemble the aircraft in pieces with the aim to have ‘kits’ ready to build the final product.

Burnside is also one of four schools building part of a RV 12 Van through a Flight Attendants’ Association of Australia project, with 17 year 11 students involved.

Mr Casten says the skills the students learn will translate into engineering, military and metalwork career pathways.

While organising the subject and having it approved as a Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority recognised class has been “pretty full on”, Mr Casten is thanking principal Kerri Dunn her support securing all the legal requirements.

The school is working closely with the Sunshine Coast Aero Club and FAAA. It is also looking into more workshop

“It’s a great opportunity … we have a lot of experts coming in and teaching” with the local aero club, particularly encouraging more girls to join.

“We only have boys at the moment unfortunately. It is a very hands-on class but we would love to see more girls show their interest,” Mr Casten says.

Powering the region The $100 million electricity project that will power the Sunshine Coast has recently been completed. Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham says the 17-kilometre-long, 132,000-volt SunCoast powerline between Palmwoods and West Maroochydore will power more than 275,000 homes and play a vital role in the region’s continued growth.

Top USC athlete inspires others A University of the Sunshine Coast (USC)athlete, who benefited from the encouragement of others as he powered to success, is joining an initiative to do the same for other young competitors.

Mooloolaba skeleton (sled) racer Elliot Brown is partnering with local charity The Encouragement Foundation for the ‘I encourage you’ initiative. The student made a successful move from triathlon and track cycling to skeleton racing and has set his sights on competing at the Winter Olympics.

Get Your Gear Into A Southern Cross Shed!

The Encouragement Foundation founder John Shadforth says a series of motivational letters from Mr Brown and other USC athletes will be sent to young people across the region.

“We hope the recipients gain inspiration and reassurance from the shared experiences of these amazing student athletes,” Mr Shadforth says.

The first letters are being sent to USC’s high-performance sport partner schools from Moreton Bay to the Fraser Coast, as well as local children’s charities.

Local group Band of Frequencies are performing at The Imperial Hotel

The bands are back WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

L

ive music is set to return to a popular hinterland venue after months of silence thanks to COVID-19.

There is a buzz in Eumundi with The Imperial Hotel announcing CoVibes 1, the first of a new era of live music events

happening Friday, August 14. Sunshine Coast group Band of Frequencies are set to take to the stage of The Bunker with supporting act Graham Moes.

Event organiser Alice Jones says the requests for live music at the hotel have been overwhelming since restrictions

began to ease. “Feedback from music lovers is that they are desperate to hear live bands and support musicians who have been hit hard by restrictions,” Ms Jones says.

“We’re super-excited to be able to bring music back – and to be kicking off with the Sunny Coast’s Band of Frequencies, who always get the groove just right.”

For Band of Frequencies, this will be their first live gig since before lock downs.

The band draw their influences from a vast spectrum of blues, roots, rock, funk and psychedelic styles.

Their signature blend comes from years of live experimentation, constantly pushing their influences into the creative fires to see what melts, what explodes and what merges.

Meanwhile, Graham Moes is a soul singer set in a world of modern electronic influences.

Alice says tickets are just $30 and numbers are strictly limited. “We have capped numbers to just 80 guests in line with restrictions – so if you’re planning on coming, get in quick,” she says.

“There’s an expectation guests will of course comply with physical distancing restrictions and sanitisation measures to ensure such events can continue.

“We’ll have fun, but it must be sensible fun.”

Tickets are available via pre-sale through OZTIX only.

Yandina group’s deadly warning The Yandina and District Community Association (YADCA) is calling for an urgent meeting with Sunshine Coast Council, the state government and police over a “deadly” blind corner at a proposed housing development.

David Tidey has lived opposite the 61 Old Gympie Road development site for 10 years and warns “someone is going to die”.

“A few years ago there was a head-on collision outside my property at the precise point where the laneway is to be built,” his June 2020 statement to the council says.

Developers plan to put access to four of the 39 proposed blocks on the blind corner.

“Several YADCA members who use this road regularly are concerned at this proposal, which we believe shows a total disregard for the safety of the community,” YADCA secretary Kahren Wentworth says.

“We are calling for these four blocks to be removed from the plan or be reconfigured to have access via Colemans Road.”

David Tidey says the development was originally designed 13 years ago.

“A lot has changed since then and there is much more traffic on this road now,” he says.

I am really happy with Right at Home as the whole team has been fantastic and since they commenced the services earlier this year l am enjoying my garden which is in great shape after the work they have put in.

Ginger Factory’s new trail WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

Y

andina’s iconic Ginger Factory will soon be home to an exciting new attraction merging the virtual world with reality.

And it involves characters from the much-loved children’s book The Gruffalo.

Work is currently underway to build The Gruffalo Spotter’s Trail, a 750-metre augmented reality rainforest trail,

bringing to life five characters from the popular UK novel.

The Ginger Factory’s tourism manager Brenda Bailey says the attraction has secured the rights to take part in the initiative, set up to encourage children to get back to nature.

“What you do is you download the app and you go into the forest, in this case

you go into our rainforest, and there’s all these clues,” Ms Bailey says.

“When you get to a marker you put your phone on the marker and the animation of the character in the story book comes to life.”

Ms Bailey says visitors can take a photo or video with the virtual character, which automatically saves to your phone’s photo gallery.

The trail will also include features for visitors not using the app.

“When the course is finished, we will have experiences beyond the app so if little children aren’t old enough to navigate the app, or they are with their grandparents, they can still enjoy the trail,” Ms Bailey says.

The attraction will open for the September school holidays, with an official opening and Gruffalo-themed party.

“It’s going to be really fabulous.”

The Ginger Factory is bouncing back after COVID-19, reporting significant visitor numbers across the July period.

Ms Bailey says on a busy day 800 people come through the factory, and while there are some New South Wales visitors, most people are Queenslanders.

“They’re locals – it’s Queensland people supporting Queensland businesses, so we are very, very happy.”

Bli Bli upgrades planned Sunshine Coast Council is planning a streetscape upgrade and a new public park for the growing Bli Bli community, which will improve the look of the town centre. The streetscape will include new pathways, modern bus shelters, street furniture and entry statements visible as people enter Bli Bli.

Have your say on pets Sunshine Coast resident are invited to have their say on the council’s Domestic Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Strategy for the next 10 years. The council is seeking feedback, recognising for many people pets offer companionship and are part of the family, while some people prefer to enjoy places that are pet free.

Coolum Beach students unite for Mob Day

O

ne of the most highly anticipated days in Coolum Beach Christian College’s calendar is the annual Mob Day, and students recently enjoyed a day full of celebrations.

The word mob is an indigenous term meaning group or gathering and the school has a strong focus on learning how to live life together.

“Our school is our mob, our family,” principal Terry Hornby says.

“Mob Day is a whole school event where students from kindy to year 12 participate in a series of activities within teams that include members of all grades.”

This year’s theme was weird, wild and wonderful.

“What a day it was,” Mr Hornby says.

“The activities ranged from building a watercourse, making masks, interpreting charades, creating Kandinsky-inspired art and battling robotics.

“Each team tackled the tasks together with many wonderful connections made across the age groups throughout the day.

“We saw senior students giving piggy back rides, plenty of high fives and even

Coolum Women’s Shed will hold an open day on August 8. Head along for a chat, have a go at crafts, sign up for workshops, see the work of members or just grab a snag. The day runs from 10am to 4pm in compliance with COVID restrictions.

Get your old photos in Now is the time to dig out your old photo albums and enter the 2021 Heritage Calendar photo competition. The theme, ‘Isn’t it Fabulous … Celebrating fashion we love to remember’, will showcase a mixture of stylish or unusual garments worn by fashion-conscious ladies and gents, from beach frocks to flares. Entry is free and photographs must be owned by the entrant. Entries close August 17.

Learning Centre children joined in.”

Mr Hornby says the day embodies a sense of safety for the student community.

Division 9 Councillor Maria Suarez says residents will see work happening on the ground around the region.

“Two roads are scheduled to be upgraded from gravel to a sealed surface, with the design phase for part of North Arm-Yandina Creek Road, Yandina Creek being finalised this year, and the construction starting on Oyster Bank Road, Bli Bli,” Cr Suarez says.

“Work will be done to make the pedestrian and cycling facilities around Peregian Springs State School and Coolum State High School precinct safer for students walking and riding their bikes or scooters to school.

“Coolum High School parents will be pleased to know more parking bays will also be built near the school.

“And work will continue on the expansion of the Nambour Landfill and the refurbishment of the Nambour Resource Recovery Centre, Bli Bli.”

An aerial view of the bushland reserve and nearby Queensland Air Museum

WPSQ launches petition WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

A

local conservation group is initiating a petition to protect a bushland reserve under threat from a proposed Queensland Air Museum expansion.

The Sunshine Coast and Hinterland branch of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland (WPSQ) is hoping it can

save part of the Isabel Jordan Bushland Reserve, which is home to rare plants and wildlife.

WPSQ secretary Jude Crighton says the site is “fairly complex” and one of the last remaining reserves of its kind in Caloundra. “The reserve backs onto the Caloundra Aerodrome and there is

a piece of state land adjacent to it,” Ms Crighton says.

“Part of the reserve is a patch of coastal wet heath and one of the last one left in the Caloundra area after all the development.

“It’s only a small reserve, but it links to other ones and is an important area for rare species of animals.”

Queensland Air Museum put forward a petition to the state government in late June to extend its current leased land on Pathfinder Drive into the reserve next to Caloundra Road.

Ms Crighton says her organisation is not against the expansion but hopes they can work towards a solution that benefits both volunteer groups.

“What we would really like is for a good consultation process to be put in place,” she says. “We would like to see a useful discussion and raise the awareness of it.”

Caloundra MP Mark McArdle supports the museum expansion. “The team at QAM should be allowed to develop their facilities which benefit the community,” Mr McArdle says.

“At the same time, they and I are aware that environmental and cultural issues may arise and are very happy to work through them.”

Caloundra Sth to get a school The growing Caloundra South region will soon have a new primary school with the Queensland government announcing plans to build in the region.

Education Minister Grace Grace says the new school will cater to the strong population growth in Caloundra South and create hundreds of local jobs.

“The new primary school in Caloundra South will support the existing Baringa State Primary School and the new secondary school that is currently under construction, which will open in 2021.”

“As well as providing world-class education infrastructure, the scale of these projects means there will be significant employment opportunities for local tradies and subcontractors.”

“We are focused on getting people back to work as we unite and recover from the global COVID-19 pandemic, with these projects expected to support more than 870 local jobs.”

The funding is part of a $346 million education package to build four new state schools in Queensland.

The school will be open for the first day of the 2022 school year.

This announcement comes as the new Baringa high school site reaches its next milestone. Story on page 71.

Joey Scouts commissioner Nick Warwick with Archie McMillian

Devoted Scout recognised WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

H

e’s only seven years old but Kawana Scouts Group’s Archie McMillan recently became the sixth Queensland Joey Scout in history to be recognised for his outstanding efforts.

Archie, who is a year two student at Mountain Creek State School, was

awarded the Branch Commissioner’s Award after raising $716 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

Proud mother Colleen McMillian says she is so “excited” with her son’s achievement.

“Him winning this award was actually such a surprise to us,” Ms McMillian says.

“We knew he was getting a badge – that’s what he was working towards doing because he is turning eight soon [and] he will be moving up to Cub Scouts.”

Ms McMillian says as part of gaining his badge, Archie participated in the Starlight Super Swim, swimming 5.5 kilometres in 30 days.

“Archie completed the swim for his ‘Duty to others’ component of his Joey Promise Challenge,” Ms McMillian says.

“He did 15 swims in 30 days.

“He was also in the top five sevenyear-olds in Australia who participated in the swim and he raised double the funds of the average participant in the swim.”

Ms McMillian says this is the first time the award, and associated Joey Scouts medallion, has been given out in Queensland in four years.

“The chief commissioner said on the day Archie’s was one of the best Joey performances he has ever seen. His name is now going up on a wall of honour in the Brisbane office.”

Archie has been part of the local Scouts for 18 months and Ms McMillian says he loves the activities.

“As a parent I love the values Scouts instil in them; giving back to the community is a big one.”

Archie is now excited to join his nine-year-old brother in Cub Scouts.

Bellvista Tavern closes Bellvista Tavern has closed permanently, unable to bounce back after COVID-19 and three recent burglaries. The announcement comes after eight years of operations and large upgrades to the tavern in October last year. In a statement, the owner says it has been a difficult decision to make.

Cr Terry Landsberg Division 2 While I have been the Division 2 Councillor now for a couple of months, this is my first column in this publication so I wanted to say I am honoured and privileged to represent you in our beautiful region. Thank you for trusting me to represent you.

I have been a long-term small business owner, Sunshine Coast resident and community volunteer and I have a great love for this area and its community.

I decided to run for council to represent our community in ways that will have a lasting positive impact. It is important to me that we balance the environment, the community and the economy.

Our approach to supporting regional economic development will drive our community’s COVID-19 recovery. I am glad that already we have been able to better support local business through revisiting our preferred suppliers arrangement, improving processes, building safety measures into contracts to protect subcontractors and we are continuing to work with industry networks to strengthen our business community.

It is great that we have been able to secure some of the Queensland government COVID-19 Works for Queensland funding to support our AFL players and mountain bikers in Division 2.

If you haven’t yet, make sure you get to Bulcock Beach and ride the giant Ferris wheel there. Already this year we have had an increase of five per cent in the first 10 days compared with last year and there are some great specials available. Go to the Downtown Caloundra website and Facebook.

It was great to see those of you from the 11 Caloundra community groups at our first Division 2 Community Committee Meeting. It was informative and useful to hear your concerns and goals. I hope to see even more of you at the next of these quarterly meetings.
