SEKISUI BATTLE NOT OVER YET The battle between Sekisui House and Development Watch continues, with the community group now lodging an appeal with the Supreme Court to have the development approval overturned.WORDS: Gail Forrer.

S

ekisui House developers say the recent decision by the Planning and Environment Court of Queensland in favour of the Yaroomba Beach development should be upheld and a second appeal by the community group Development Watch is a time-waster that significantly disadvantages the Sunshine Coast.

However, Development Watch (DW) president Lynette Saxton says the decision to go ahead with the appeal is based on enormous community opposition to the development and careful consideration of legal advice.

Sekisui House project director Evan Aldridge says the Planning and Environment Court ruled there was no substantial evidence provided by Development Watch to back up any of their grounds of appeal.

“All five principal grounds of appeal that Development Watch and associated activist organisations raised during the appeal were found to be without

substance,” Mr Aldridge says.

Mr Aldridge added that many residents, local businesses, industry and associations have supported the Yaroomba Beach project over the past five years because they see the benefits this project can bring.

“Despite the negative slogans of an ‘intensive high-rise development’ the court found the proposed mix of land uses favoured approval and would satisfactorily address the planning scheme’s intention for a tourism focus area.

“In fact, court documents showed there will be less building floor area developed when compared to the previous approval over the site.

“Despite Development Watch proposing there was not an economic need and the development would hinder the refurbishment of the Palmer Coolum Resort, the court determined there was a clear need for the proposed development, by meeting the latent unsatisfied demand for a five-star resort in the locality and providing a variety of residential

accommodation proximate to the beach.

Ms Saxton says DW is only proceeding because advice from their barrister has led them to believe they have reasonable prospects of success.

“The advice has been that the court has made errors of judgement,” Ms Saxton says.

It is envisaged the development will create 400 construction jobs per year. But Mr Aldridge warns jobs are being lost while Development Watch embarks on a second court appeal over the council’s approval of the Yaroomba Beach development.

In terms of the environment, he says the court found the proposed development and building design respected the scale and character of surrounding areas and vegetation and protected the natural vegetation and character of the coastal foreshore and foredunes.”

“Yaroomba Beach will be a catalyst project for the Sunshine Coast as it recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, but delays brought on by a frivolous appeal are costly for everyone concerned.”

Comment SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL A council spokesperson confirmed an application for leave to appeal was filed by Development Watch Inc in the Court of Appeal on July 24, 2020.

However, as the matter is the subject of an appeal, the council will not comment further.

AT A GLANCE SEKSIUI HOUSE SH Coolum Pty Ltd (Sekisui) has approval to build a seven-storey five-star hotel, 753 residential apartments, 98 two-to-three-storey homes and a retail village.

Sunshine Coast Council approved a mixed-use project including a five-star hotel, residential and retail uses more than two years ago. Council officers recommended the application be approved. The council’s decision recognised significant benefits to the Sunshine Coast including: – 400 equivalent full-time jobs per year during construction – 355 equivalent full-time jobs ongoing in the hotel, retail and maintenance industries the attraction of 85,000 new visitors per year to the Sunshine Coast through the creation of the first five-star hotel on the Sunshine Coast in more than 30 years, with much-needed conference facilities The injection of $108-million per annum into the local economy to support small and medium businesses the creation of public parks, pathways, lifesaving amenities and reinstated lifeguard patrols to the adjoining Yaroomba Beach.

DEVELOPMENT WATCH INC. The notice to appeal court the decision on Yaroomba development was lodged with the Supreme Court of Queensland on July 24. Development Watch: – has called on Sekisui House to take on sole costs for the appeal – prefers a low-rise eco-resort development with ‘sustainable’ jobs – sees the 400 construction jobs as short-term – believes current COVID conditions will see a lag in the development commencement date.

FAST FACTS

Looking back.

Did you know?

Do you remember?

Big game fishing With marlin often spotted in waters off the Sunshine Coast, Mooloolaba was known to have the natural features for big-game fishing and, unlike most other localities, the big-game season lasted all year. During the 1930s, the local Nambour Chronicle frequently provided action-packed accounts of big-game fishing trips and the record catches made some 20 miles out from Mooloolaba. In mid-January 1937, AB Carrodus, the then president of the Amateur Fishermen’s Association, officially opened a new weighing station at the public jetty at Mooloolaba. The scales were suspended on a huge frame and were capable of handling fish up to 1000 pounds (453.6 kilos). The first weigh-in was a 90-pound black marlin caught by Mr Frank Jensen, who struggled for quite some time, lacerating his hands to land the fish.

The longest wedding veil was the same length as 63.5 football fields.

When Maria Paraskeva, a woman from Cyprus, got married in August 2018, her goal wasn’t just to say “I do”. She was also determined to set a record. “My dream as a child has always been to break the Guinness World Record title for the longest wedding veil,” she explains. She fulfilled her dream by wearing a lace veil that stretched almost 7000 metres, or as long as 63.5 football fields.

1957 Mao’s famous speech to the Supreme State Conference ‘On Correct Handling of Contradictions Among People’ expounding Maoist ideals was made in 1957.

FEATURE STORY

Making art for everyone As the region gears up to celebrate 20 years since the Caloundra Regional Gallery first opened its doors, artists, art lovers and former directors reflect on the history of the gallery, and the important role it has played promoting local artists and bringing international creatives to the region.

WORDS: Leigh Robshaw Image: Ben Vos

A

rtists have always been drawn to the Sunshine Coast for its stunning coastal landscapes, creative hinterland communities and landmarks like the Glass House Mountains, their beauty begging to be captured on canvas. But its status as one of Australia’s leading arts destinations is relatively new and is in large part thanks to the work of Caloundra Regional Gallery and its flagship event, the Sunshine Coast Art Prize (SCAP).

On August 11, Caloundra Regional Gallery celebrates its 20th anniversary and a program of exhibitions and events has been underway all year to mark the occasion. Over the past two decades, its reputation has grown interstate and internationally, particularly when the SCAP was launched in 2006. A national contemporary acquisitive award, the SCAP has become one of the most prestigious art awards in the country. This year, it attracted a record number of 711 artists (compared with 408 last year) vying for the top prize of $25,000.

Caloundra Regional Art Gallery isn’t just a gallery for Caloundra, but for the entire region. It is owned and operated by Sunshine Coast Council, which maintains a growing art collection that sits at 573 works with a value of approximately $1 million, including paintings, photography, works on paper, prints, sculpture, ceramics and textiles. The artworks are displayed in key

locations across the region, including the public foyers of council buildings, libraries, venues and community halls. Pieces are continually rotated and are showcased through themed exhibitions at Caloundra Regional Gallery.

Well-known Sunshine Coast local Nina Shadforth is tasked with conservation and preservation of the works, curating

and instigated the SCAP. Next up was Ms Shadforth, followed by Hamish Sawyer and current director Jo Duke, who came on board in 2019.

Two years before the gallery opened at its present site, Mrs Conte was asked to make a case for a regional gallery in response to community demand. She began exhibiting pieces from the council’s

exhibitions in public spaces across the region and acquiring works. A director of Caloundra Regional Gallery from 2012 to 2013, she is now the Sunshine Coast Art Collection curator. “My mission in this role is to make sure the community knows they have a beautiful public asset and I’d like to make it more accessible,” she says.

Five directors/curators have shaped the evolution of Caloundra Regional Art Gallery since its inception: Sandra Conte (nee Clarke), who was the first director from 2000 to 2004. John Waldron, who took the reins in 2004, served as director until 2012

collection in the Beausang Room at Caloundra Events Centre, before the current site was identified and repurposed into a gallery space.

“The business plan I formulated based on public consultation was to create a category A gallery,” Mrs Conte says. “There was no other category A gallery in Queensland apart from the Queensland Art Gallery and Cairns Art Gallery. I wanted to be really responsible with the public purse and engage in true community consultation, then create a vision out of that.

“We had 2000 people at the official launch of the inaugural exhibition in August 2000,” she says. That exhibition was Maleny artist Peter Hudson’s solo show, On His Selection, with Kids Earth Fund, a touring exhibition by Ondine Sherman.

Mr Hudson went on to win the SCAP in 2009 with his stunning oil on linen work, Law. He was also part of the group that originally approached Mr Waldron to instigate an art prize, along with thencouncillor Dick Newman, gallery owner Tony Gill and artist Kevin Oxley. While they hoped to establish a hinterland-based prize, Mr Waldron believed it was better suited to the regional gallery.

“The SCAP is a very important prize and has put the Sunshine Coast art scene on the national map,” Mr Hudson says.

“When you win a prize like that it just changes everything for an artist. It’s a good money prize, but it’s also a great confidence booster. It’s a nod that you’re doing something right. Most artists are kind of experimenting and problem-solving.

Sometimes you don’t know where you’re going and you have to sort of back yourself and trust yourself. When you win a prize like that, it gives you confidence you’re on the right road.

“Both Caloundra Regional Gallery and the SCAP have been really good for the arts community in general on the Sunshine Coast. Not only has the gallery been a vehicle to showcase artists from the myweeklypreview.com.au

FEATURE STORY Sunshine Coast, but because of its touring exhibitions and its curated exhibitions, it brings artists into the area. It makes art much more accessible for local people.”

Continuing to make art accessible during COVID-19 is a challenge current director Jo Duke was not expecting when she moved to Currimundi from Gladstone to take on the role in September last year.

“It has been a very interesting time,” she says. “I arrived when the SCAP was opening and that was a wonderful introduction to the space and the community. From that we rolled out our Local Makers Local Content exhibition, which highlighted important places around the Coast. It was a lovely way to be introduced the art scene here. Then we had the Johanna DeMaine exhibition, which was 50 years of work by an absolutely pristine maker. In the eight months I’ve been here, I’ve had the breadth of everything you could think about.

“Then of course, COVID hit. That’s been a very interesting adventure. How do we continually engage with our audiences, locals and visitors who weren’t visiting as much, as well as our makers?”

The solution was to take it online, with artists who were contracted to exhibit later in the year doing 30-minute online conversations and showing viewers around their studios, which was a great success.

“Caloundra Regional Gallery has been fabulous for the last 20 years,” Ms Duke says. “I used to come to Caloundra every Christmas and it has changed dramatically since those days and become very cosmopolitan.

“It has been a decision by the council to expand and make an arts precinct here over the next five years. Hopefully it will become a bigger and better version of itself.

“I’m very excited to be working with such a dedicated team in a place where, not only is the environment extraordinary, but the calibre of the artistic community is extremely high.”

Reflections from the directors Nina Shadforth

Caloundra Regional Gallery founding director Sandra Conte in front of an image, taken by Wild Honey Photography, of herself at the gallery’s official opening

Sandra Conte “I think Caloundra Regional Art Gallery has brought a world stage and provided that world stage for the artists that we have here. Joanne Currie lived in Caloundra but no one knew about her.

We met her and developed a relationship with her, then curated her first solo exhibition, which was just amazing. She went on to win the Wynne Prize, one of the most respected landscape prizes in Australia. We followed her journey and it has been wonderful to see these examples. That’s the true meaning of a regional art gallery in terms of its remit.”

John Waldron “Sandi forged some valuable connections in the community and that’s one of the most important features of a regional gallery. Some of the projects I worked on were about providing additional opportunities further than the exhibition outcome. They were workshop opportunities, whether in the gallery or outreach activities, to offering opportunities to schools and communities to connect with artists and experience an artist at work first-hand. We were helping to build the community through the visual arts. New artists emerge or you provide interesting connections between professional and emerging artists.

Caloundra is not a large regional gallery and on many occasions, it has punched well above its weight.”

“The early days were more about the local artists and progressively what I’ve seen is interest from national artists coming in. Broadly speaking, a regional gallery becomes a cultural focus for the region. The beautiful thing about this gallery is the community drive to actually get one built. There’s a lot of pride in that within the Caloundra community and the artist community. It was a significant step towards building a cultural landscape and encouraging creatives to have somewhere to show their art, or somewhere to engage in art, and broaden the experiences for visitors and audiences who come to the region.”

Hamish Sawyer “I was there from April 2016 to August last year and it was a really exciting time for the gallery, but also to be on the Coast working in the creative arts. Over the last few years, the art and culture scene really matured on the Coast.

Caloundra Regional Art Gallery has been significant in that because a regional gallery is your flagship visual arts venue.

It has to provide a range of exhibitions and programs that represent local artists and provide exhibitions that showcase development in contemporary Australian art practices.

Jo Duke “The Caloundra Regional Gallery looks at the whole of the Sunshine Coast. The gallery is to be a voice for the whole area. Twenty years ago there was a strong commitment by community. They were the ones that advocated so strongly and the council agreed. We obviously want a bigger gallery and we want it to be internationally known. They really want a strong arts precinct here from the Events Centre through to the library, through to the gallery and to Bulcock Street and down to the beach frontage.

We’re so excited and the community has had lots of say in it as well.”

Friends Regional Gallery Caloundra Inc members and volunteers, L to R: Marie Pigott, Sandy Young, Jan Foster and Anna Leadbetter

In early 1995, a group of artists and community members formed a committee to investigate the possibility of opening an art gallery in Caloundra. Called the Caloundra Regional Art Gallery Society, they are now known as the Friends Regional Gallery Caloundra Inc. “It is thanks to this group of dedicated volunteers and their investment of time and expertise, that we have our fantastic Caloundra Regional Gallery today,” arts portfolio councillor Rick Baberowski says.

“Today, the gallery is a key element of Caloundra’s civic and cultural heart and we will be forever grateful to the friends of the gallery for their wonderful support.”

The original society held fundraising barbecues, lunches, dinners and art auctions to gather the funds for a gallery.

In May 1996, then deputy premier Joan Sheldon offered funding towards the gallery and in December 1997, Caloundra City Council agreed to the development of the Caloundra City Council Art Gallery.

President of Friends Regional Gallery Caloundra Inc, Marie Pigott, says it’s still a vibrant and active group of volunteers that welcomes new members.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

A BIRD ON A MISSION

Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s flying visit to the Coast left many scratching their heads. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

P

rime Minister Scott Morrison made a surprise trip to the Sunshine Coast in late July to visit local businesses surviving thanks to JobKeeper.

His third visit to the Sunshine Coast since becoming Prime Minister, Mr Morrison’s three-day trip to chat with local business owners was cut short due to the worsening coronavirus situation in Victoria and New South Wales.

“I had been planning to be in Queensland for the next few days … highlighting the important steps we’re taking to support the Australian economy through the economic crisis, the COVID recession,” he said.

“What we are dealing with is both a health and economic crisis.”

His visit to Walker Seafoods in Mooloolaba and The Ginger Factory in Yandina left confusion over his visit, as most of the day’s discussions were on how the government is dealing with a rise in COVID cases.

“COVID is a difficult beast to manage,” Mr Morrison said.

“It would be nice to say there are

simple solutions to these complex situations but there are not.”

When asked about the Queensland Government’s assistance, Mr Morrison hinted they did not always see eye to eye but thanked Premier Anastacia Palaszczuk for her “good faith”.

“We haven’t been running a commentary on each other.

“What we’ve done is simply try to help each other and work with each other.”

“There have been disagreements from time to time, that’s to be expected.”

The ongoing border debate saw Mr Morrison pass the buck onto the state.

“States are making their own decisions about when they are deciding to put their borders up or not,” he said.

“I certainly would agree that where there are parts of the country where there are outbreak zones … then it would be the right thing to do to prevent movement out of those areas into any part of Australia.”

Mr Morrison is urging all Australians to remain vigilant and follow public health advice.

“It’s important that together collectively we share the responsibility in doing the right thing by each other.

“Dealing with outbreaks is going to continue until we have a vaccine.

“Until we get to that, we have to manage outbreaks in a way that doesn’t shut the economy down.”

Dr Farvardin Daliri (centre) with Bernie Clarke and Simone Stillman from headspace If you saw a giant kookaburra travelling around the Sunshine Coast, I bet you had a giggle. That’s exactly what its creator, Dr Farvardin Daliri, intended his fine feathered friend to do.

Hand-built and sculpted in Brisbane, the big bird is travelling via trailer to north Queensland to make an appearance in the Townsville Cultural Festival. At eight-andhalf metres from tail to the beak, he is a force to be reckoned with.

The big bird’s mission is to spread joy, and he is even holding laughing workshops along the way. Locally, Dr Daliri invited residents to have a ‘sticky beak’ – but kept it at a social distance.

ARTS STILL ON THE HORIZON

BIN IN ISOLATION LATELY? IMAGE: FACEBOOK/BIN ISOLATION OUTING

Are you one of the millions who have joined the Bin Isolation Challenge?

A Melbourne Mad Hatter

N

ot one to usually steal the spotlight, it’s safe to say the humble household wheelie bin has had a moment.

Its recent thrust to fame is thanks to a new social media craze – the Bin Isolation Outing – which started in Queensland after friends dared each other to dress up while taking their bins out for collection.

What began as buddies amusing each other during the COVID-19 pandemic (where bins were often leaving the house more than we were), is now a Facebook group with more than one million members around the globe.

But what happens to the content of your bins after the outing ends and your waste is collected?

Service Excellence portfolio councillor Christian Dickson explains the process.

“Once the truck collects your waste, it’s transferred to either resource recovery centres for recycling or disposal in engineered, double-lined landfill cells to prevent leachate – dirty water – seeping into groundwater,” Cr Dickson says.

“Waste management is not a glamorous topic that gets much attention, but council is continuing to invest in improvements to ensure the Sunshine Coast is well-serviced now and into the future.”

Works are complete on a $4.5-million upgrade of the Caloundra landfill for the region’s latest environmentally sound and innovatively engineered landfill cell.

Improvements are also taking place at the Buderim Resource Recovery Centre to provide new sorting facilities to improve landfill diversion, while the Nambour Waste Precinct is also due for expansion.

In the meantime, check out the Bin Isolation Outing Facebook group. You might think it’s a load of rubbish, but it’s a bit of fun during difficult times.

MAJOR MILESTONE Coast local Sammy Pluck’s business Pursuit Fitness is celebrating 10 years in business.

“We’ve worked with hundreds of Sunny Coast locals and changed so many lives, that when I reflect back on it, I cannot feel anything but pride and gratitude.”

COVID-19 has been crippling for the fitness industry, but Ms Pluck swiftly rose to the challenge: “I introduced Zoom to the Pursuit community, before we had to shut down our regular sessions,” she says.

The mum-of-three says she owes her success over the past decade to the welcoming Sunshine Coast community.

Don’t miss the final Horizon Festival events during August. Sit back, relax and enjoy an array of digital and live experiences in the final month of what has been a wonderfully reimagined Horizon Festival 2020.

Horizon Festival artistic director Lynne Bradley said the August program rounded out the 2020 three-month rolling festival with a final suite of innovative and entertaining live and digital events.

“The silver lining of going online this year has been increased reach, with arts lovers from around Australia discovering for the first time, the Horizon Festival, our wonderful region, and the talented array of artists that call the Sunshine Coast home.”

AGENDA

TWIN WATERS WEST DENIAL DRAWS DISBELIEF While community groups applauded the council’s refusal of the controversial Twin Waters West development, the business community believes it’s a missed opportunity. WORDS: Layne Whitburn.

Cr Christian Dickson

D

o we have enough development on the Sunshine Coast at the moment?

Councillor Christian Dickson believes so, which deeply concerns Sunshine Coast Business Council chair Sandy Zubrinich during the current economical climate.

The controversial Twin Waters West development was rejected by the majority of councillors at a Sunshine Coast Council meeting on July 23. Cr Dickson was one of eight councillors against the development, with two councillors in support.

“The Sunshine Coast is one of the fastest growing regions in Queensland.

Growth is inevitable, however managing that growth without detrimental impacts on our environment and existing communities is vital for our future success,” Cr Dickson says.

Mrs Zubrinich says she is “incredulous” over the decision. “In this current economic climate due to the impacts of COVID-19, every job is precious,” she says.

Mrs Zubrinich says it took several years for most businesses to recover from the Global Financial Crisis, however, right now the double whammy of a health and an economic crisis unfolding simultaneously is far more challenging.

Cr Dickson was originally in favour of the development, but the deal breaker that led him to reconsider was, “the notion of development in the floodplain with potentially damaging impacts on existing and future residents was something I wasn’t prepared to put my name to.”

During the meeting, Cr Dickson apologised to the community for endorsing a planning scheme amendment for the Twin Waters West site in 2017.

“People recognise that growth is inevitable, however they are wanting to see development that doesn’t necessarily destroy the existing lifestyle of the Sunshine Coast and that the required infrastructure is in place to cope with growth.

“People I talk to are concerned about state government growth targets and the requirement to house 200,000 new residents between now and 2041. Major new land developments such as Aura and Harmony play an important role in providing housing across the Sunshine Coast, however many of these projects require a significant local and state government commitment towards the provision of infrastructure such as roads, community facilities and public transport.”

Cr Dickson says his grounds for refusal included: wildlife impacts – particularly on kangaroos – flooding on existing and future residents, climate change with rising sea levels, the need for an

Sandy Zubrinich evacuation/community refuge, and ample development already on the Coast.

Mrs Zubrinich says she is “gobsmacked” councillors ignored the advice of their own planning officers.

“The senior technical planning officers are highly qualified to make these assessments, and the science was even peer-reviewed by a third party,” Mrs Zubrinich says.

“I do not stand for development at all costs. I too share concern for what’s happening in my neighbourhood…

However, to vote against this development application despite council officers determining that it either met or exceeded council’s Planning Scheme requirements, and especially during the current economical environment… it just doesn’t make sense.”

Cr Dickson says local sentiment played a large role in the verdict.

FINDING INCOME IN REAL ESTATE TRUSTS

A

ustralian real estate investment trusts (A-REITs) have been sold off significantly this year, particularly through the pandemic. Looking more closely, though, the falls have been more acute in the retail property trusts, given lower foot traffic through shopping centres and rental disruptions among tenants.

For example, on a total return basis, Scentre Group is down 40 per cent, Vicinity Centres is down 44 per cent, and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield is down 59 per cent, compared with the sector average of -19 per cent.

Retail property assets are expected to be most impacted by COVID-19, followed by office. Our property analysts have estimated in their numbers a devaluation

in retail mall assets of up to 30 per cent over the next 12 to 18 months, with rents rebased down in the order of 15 per cent.

They also estimate a five to 25 per cent drop in office valuations, depending on the property, while industrial assets are seen as more immune, with up to five per cent rent and valuation reversion. Several A-REITs have released their preliminary property valuations to June 30, 2020.

Unsurprisingly, in the last six months, retail asset valuations have suffered the biggest falls.

Property trusts we identify as long WALEs (Charter Hall Long WALE, APN Convenience Retail and Waypoint REIT) usually have a weighted lease expiry of 10 or more years. This offers some safeguards to earnings and distributions from near-term rental pressures, at least relative to peers. They also tend to have fixed annual or CPI-linked rental increases. These long WALE A-REITs also trade on higher distribution yields of five to seven per cent.

We believe these characteristics will become increasingly attractive for institutional property investors seeking yield and relative stability.

In April, as a response to the impact of COVID-19 on tenants, the Commonwealth government introduced a mandatory code of conduct which,

among other things, requires landlords to offer tenants rent reductions through waivers and deferrals based on the reduction in trade during the pandemic.

The code applies to small to medium enterprise (SMEs) tenants with annual turnover of up to $50 million that are also eligible for JobKeeper.

For the long WALEs we cover, their tenant base consists of mainly investment-grade or larger ASX-listed companies, so the code and therefore mandated tenant rental relief applies to around one per cent or less of their income.

For retail property owners, however, the proportion of tenants requiring rental relief is much larger. For example, around 30 per cent of Scentre Group’s rental income is from SME retailers. One of our preferred long WALE REITs is Charter Hall Long WALE, which has a diversified portfolio of agri, retail, office, telecommunications and industrial property, and a WALE of 14.2 years.

Waypoint is also preferred in this space.

CONGRATULATIONS

NO BEACH BARRIER I have just read your article in issue 613 July 24 which is news to me also. Regrettably, it seems council has a mindset on what it considers is best and will provide the best outcome. Given that provision is provided for community input or feedback seems to have little bearing on the outcome. I personally, an aged pensioner, covered several of the Sunshine Coast Council regional divisions obtaining approximately 6000 signatures opposing Pay2Park across the

shire, which I formally presented in an open council meeting.

Regrettably, those 6000-plus people were outnumbered by the established mindset of the few councillors, which included our current mayor. Had those 6000-plus people assembled before council, their presence and media attraction may have provided a greater influence and motivation for council to represent their constituents.

POWER OF PRINT Thank you for the article by Candice Holznagel in regard to the demise of printed media on the Sunshine Coast (and elsewhere). It’s a sad thing to lose this valuable method of sharing world and community news and information… I am an old bloke and enjoy holding a newspaper in my hand. Best wishes to you and your team for the continued publication of My Weekly Preview.

Graham Thompson

I want to applaud you for the decision to expand your successful magazine and add more local news to My Weekly Preview. The recent loss of our local newspapers in hard copy is being felt by all of us who have enjoyed reading their pages and who worked for them.

As a former journalist myself, I feel it is so vital to have printed media to get the word out, let people know what is happening on the Coast, to connect people and engage them in local community work.

Not everyone uses computers to access all their news, but even many digital savvy types still enjoy the look and feel of a print publication for the pleasure of reading. That’s why publications like yours play an important role in keeping them informed of important local news and issues.

BENEFITS OF PRINT So, a huge thank you for helping to fill the void and proving that print media is not dead by expanding your wonderful magazine.

I am so glad to hear that My Weekly Preview is investing heavily to bring grassroots journalism to local communities and increasing your commitment to printing relevant, local news.

My Weekly Preview is to be heartily congratulated that it is also boosting jobs, employing more local people, continuing to support local business and to champion local news issues.

I also love that your magazine is 100 per cent locally owned – keep up the great work!

Fiona Simpson Fiona Simpson MP Member for Maroochydore

A recent article by Candice Holznagel sums up the catastrophe that has devastated the print media. As a faithful reader, I will be impacted. I love picking up the paper – I don’t read stories online; it doesn’t give me the feeling of fulfilment or comprehension. Since moving to the Coast 18 years ago, and through my involvement with amateur theatre companies, I have had the pleasure of dealing with many a journalist and editor of numerous publications. The stories, the rapport, the publicity – what satisfaction.

And yes, print does deserve a place in our community, so thank goodness My Weekly Preview will continue to support the local economy and invest in news and lifestyle content for the Coast’s many readers.

PROFILE

SHARING THE STRUGGLE Parents of children with autism are finding solace and connection with other parents thanks to STEPS Autism Treehouse. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

P

arents of young children know the challenges this year’s school disruptions have brought. First, it was whether or not to pull your kids out of school when the pandemic hit, then it was being asked to homeschool whether you felt equipped or not, then it was navigating the transition back to school with a strict new set of precautionary measures in place.

Think that was stressful? Try doing it with a child on the autism spectrum.

Jess Winnell is the mother of four children on the spectrum, a son who is 13, twin boys who are 12 and a daughter who is four. The Peregian Beach mum is a project co-ordinator with STEPS Autism Treehouse and supports other parents with kids on the spectrum while juggling her own four children, each with their own particular needs.

“It’s really busy but I love what I do,” she says. “The Treehouse database is enormous. I get anywhere between six and 12 phone calls a day from families just asking questions. People are often calling about school or trying to get an appointment with a therapist and can’t get in.

“We get a lot of distressed phone calls. People just don’t know what to do. When you talk to people they calm down during the conversation just from you listening to them.

It can be quite scary when people haven’t dealt with something like this before. Sometimes they just need to vent, because they feel like they’re out of control.

“A lot of people and kids have struggled with what has happened this year. A lot of these kids on the spectrum already had anxiety and it has been pushed to the extreme,

because they’ve never had to deal with anything like this.

They have difficulty sleeping, random meltdowns.

“It’s hard to explain to people until they’ve had a child on the spectrum,” she says. “Something that would take a lot of discussion with one child might take a child with autism two months of therapy sessions to work out. Some parents are working so hard just to get their children to school on a regular basis. Pediatricians have said their appointments have gone through the roof this year; they can’t keep up.”

Mrs Winnell moved to the Sunshine Coast from Melbourne with her husband and children about two years ago, looking for a sea change and a slower pace. One of seven children, she says it was difficult to leave her large family and support network in Victoria, and had to search for support here on the Coast.

“I was brought into STEPS because I was very passionate about autism,” she says. “I joined the parent social groups that have been run with STEPS for a few years now… It was a good way to meet people. I started off volunteering, helping parents find the right therapist or look into programs.

“A job came up to help facilitate the Positive Autism Connections Grant and I then took over the co-ordinator’s role. We get a lot of referrals from GPs and therapists to help families that are a bit lost once they’ve had their diagnoses.

We work hard to help them decide what they want for their child, connect them with the right therapies, get their heads around the fact they have a child with autism.

“I really enjoy working with the families and I’ve actually made some amazing friends,” she says. “There’s some incredible parents on the Sunshine Coast that work so hard to advocate for the autism community.”

Mrs Winnell is organising the first STEPS Parent and Carer Social Dinner to help ease the isolation. “We thought it would be nice to try and get out and connect and socialise while we can. It’s amazing to see families, when they connect with other families that are going through the same thing, how much better they feel.”

The dinner will be held on August 20, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at Duporth Tavern, Maroochydore.

Bookings are essential. For more information email autism@stepsgroup.com.au.

Did you know?

The word muffin likely comes from the Old German word muffen, the plural of muffe, meaning a small cake.

The term muffin-top originated as Australian slang in mid-2003. Soon it became popular throughout the English-

speaking world. The word roughly describes the roll of excess flesh that spills out in front or all around a person’s waist.

The Oxford English Dictionary added the term to its revised online edition in March 2011.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

HAVE YOUR SAY Council is preparing to update the Domestic Animal Management (cats and dogs) Strategy for the next 10 years, and we’re seeking your feedback. For many people, pets are more than just a companion, while others prefer to enjoy pet-free places and some people may not have their own pet, but still enjoy being around them. Whether you are a pet owner or not, your feedback is valuable. You can complete the survey before August 31 on Council’s Have Your Say website.

Much-loved wave mural surfs on Almost 20 years ago, local surf artist Owen Cavanagh painted a large mural of Mudjimba Island on the side of an old cane shed next to the Sunshine Motorway.

The artwork has become a part of what we love about the Sunshine Coast and adds to a long list of things that make our region a special place to visit.

Mr Cavanagh was both surprised and honoured by the efforts Council made to save his mural.

The story of the mural began with a carton of beer and a goal to share his art with his community. He says a friend suggested the shed would make a great spot for a mural, so he met with the owner at the time and before he knew it, the mural was finished and paid for with a carton. In 2011, the mural was given a 10th birthday present

Protecting Maroochydore Beach If you see a pipeline with sand gushing out and some excavators along Maroochydore Beach soon – it’s okay! It’s part of council’s plan to look after this beach and protect it from severe erosion.

and repainted as the weather had taken its toll and, much to the community’s dismay, some parts were defaced with graffiti. The mural certainly has stood the test of time.

Mr Cavanagh says children and adults remind him on a weekly basis how much people love and appreciate the wave mural.

In the coming weeks the mural will be carefully propped up with metal framing set in a concrete footing. Council’s efforts to preserve the artwork will ensure it remains part of the landscape and a welcome sight to both locals and visitors alike, for years to come.

FUTURE TRANSIT NEEDS Momentum continues for a mass transit solution to address our public transport needs now and well into the future. A mass transit solution between Caloundra and Maroochydore is being investigated. The strategic business case was completed in July 2019 and we’re well underway on the next key milestone, the preliminary business case. Join us on the journey by visiting Council’s project webpage and subscribing to receive Sunshine Coast Mass Transit updates.

ecades later, the shed and the iconic surf art have become part of the Sunshine Coast Airport and is adjacent to Sunshine Coast Council’s construction site of the new international-standard runway, which welcomed its first flight on June 14.

As the final pieces of the old shed are removed for safety reasons, work to preserve what has become an important piece of our community has started.

Division 8 Councillor Jason O’Pray says the mural is part of the landscape and a welcome sight to both locals and visitors.

We widen the beach to keep a 50 metre buffer between the sea and the roads, park and playgrounds nearby providing protection from severe erosion caused by storms, swells and weather events.

We’ve been doing this since 2013, with great results. Work is expected to be complete by the end of September and we thank-you for your patience.

Details about the program can be found on Council’s website.

A long-term Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy is being developed as a key action from Council’s Environment and Liveability Strategy, which seeks to protect and enhance our natural environment and provide a great lifestyle for our residents to enjoy.

MY OPINION

PUFFER JACKET SAGA CONTINUES

TOGETHER IN TOUGH TIMES

Sami Muirhead created controversy with last week’s column suggesting puffer jackets are for old people. No – they’re just for cold people.

Gail Forrer says while it has been a hard year and it’s not over yet, it has shown us the depths of our resilience and humanity.

L

ook, I never promised I would tackle world peace in this column, okay? But this week I bring you the second fluff piece of the month. Literally. A column for the second time on fluffy puffer jackets.

There is even an emoji for them.

So last week a bit of controversy was began when I declared my friend Candice Collins burst my bubble and told me puffer jackets are for middle-aged and older people. Candice Collins and I both love a puffer jacket outing. I feel safe in my puffer. It hides my COVID curves and I could use it as a pillow if I actually went out for dinner and fell asleep.

Well, well, well. Didn’t this statement that puffer jackets are basically daggy and for oldies start a fashion war of words when it comes to keeping warm? One local fashionista told us proudly she has 13 puffer jackets. A baker’s dozen!

“I am the proud owner of 13 puffer vests and jackets of every different colour, some with fur, some without, some have zips and some have buttons,” Carlie Brial said. “It’s a very big YES for me and if you haven’t got one baby, you ain’t even living,” she added.

Mrs Meredith from school and I decided puffer jackets must be cool because they make our life so much better when we are waiting at sports or lining up for a coffee. We came up with the hashtag #pufferpride. So surely if we have invented

a hashtag, it must be a real thing? Who knows, but I would like to see Carlie’s collection of 13 jackets to see what I am missing out on.

I even Googled ‘Are puffer jackets cool?’ and I found an article from GQ men’s magazine with the dreadful headline of ‘The best puffer jackets will bring some serious heat to your winter fits’. The style bible endorses a Veilance down coat because it is a not-so-puffy-puffer jacket.

As long as we don’t resemble Stay Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters, then we are good to go out in public in our puffers. However I did Google this brand of jacket and the price tag is around $1500, which for this price I would want a secret flask sewn into the lining with a slimline straw that is magically filled with a neverending supply of gin and tonic. Who is spending this much money on a puffer?

A duffer that is who.

Another friend, Trish The Dish, says puffer jackers are not for old people, but actually just for cold people. Yes Trish, I agree with you.

So you will continue to see me sporting my puffer jacket around the Coast.

Remember that saying, ‘a bikini body is made in winter’? Well, let me tell you if this is true come the warmer months. My bikinis will be holding up red wine, Camembert cheese and spring rolls. But for the rest of the cold season, I am doubling down on the double down.

S

trange days indeed. So goes the chorus to John Lennon’s 1984 song, Nobody Told Me. Some 36 years later, the song deeply resonates with all the unexpected events that have occurred in 2020.

We are more than half way through a year that for most of us, has no precedent. Just a little more than six months ago, the concepts of social distancing and social isolation had yet to emerge as some of the most important ways of staying alive. We hadn’t heard of JobSeeker, JobKeeper, or JobMaker. Most of us hadn’t experienced a Zoom meeting, panic buying wasn’t part of a weekly shopping trip. The only place where Australians saw face masks was in hospitals.

After an interstate holiday, I came back to my Brisbane workplace on March 16.

The next day, we were advised to leave the office and work from home. For me it was the start of what we are, at least for now, calling the ‘new normal’.

Suddenly, the cogs of industry and our private lives slowed and quietened. An uneasy silence pervaded the streets until severe restrictions were lifted.

Since then, Victoria has moved to stage four lockdown with a state of disaster declared, while Queensland records zero or single-figure digits in new cases.

Still, as we slip into this sixth surrealfeeling month, as always there is a flip side

to this strange new reality. Westpac announced it would bring back 1000 jobs and I have heard the same applies to Telstra. I have always found it difficult to understand how big business could justify cost-cutting measures such as sending jobs overseas to increase profits that were already in the billion-dollar range.

I know during the last six months there have been the inevitable rip-offs of government payments and debatable actions regarding restrictions, but all in all, early initiatives such as special shopping

“the virus has meant that people have come before profits” hours, the set-up of social networks and warm-hearted gestures such as the placement of teddy bears on windowsills and footpaths used as canvases for optimistic chalk messages, are signs of our resilience and humanity.

Above all, in the last six months, the virus has meant that people have come before profits. This brings to mind a couple of things. Firstly, that charity really does begin at home. Secondly, a shout-out for the sharers, carers and brave people of the Sunshine Coast who underpin the foundations of our wellbeing.

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

Has your perfectionist streak got out of control? The more you try to make everything ‘perfect’ this week, the more you will attract opposition from others. So focus on the evolving journey, rather than the final destination.

Mighty Mars squares powerful Pluto (your ruler) on Thursday, which boosts your stubborn streak and your control-freak tendencies. You’ll find the more temperamental you are, the more challenging the week will be.

So simmer down Scorpio!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Expect financial problems or communication chaos (especially with work colleagues, clients or customers). Sagittarians are free spirits so you could also feel frustrated by local lockdown rules and/or travel restrictions.

Your ruler Saturn (planet of limitations and patience) is transiting through your sign until December. It’s time for active and ambitious Capricorns to pace themselves, as some plans backfire and confidence levels are lower than usual.

This week amps up your Aquarian need for freedom, independence and adventure. But don’t feel you have to tackle a problem on your own. The sun and Mercury are visiting your relationship zone, so there are people around who are happy to help.

Expect some dramas this week, as Mars and Pluto stir up old grievances.

By all means use your diplomatic talents to help find solutions but, if you sit back and let others make decisions, then you’ll just feel paralysed and powerless.

QLD SENIORS WEEK GOES ONLINE Stay COVID safe and celebrate Queensland Seniors week from August 15–23 with a range of online activities.

T

his year more than ever, people need something to celebrate, albeit in the safest way possible.

That is why Seniors Week will transform from physical gatherings into an online affair. If restrictions allow, there may be some physical events as well.

As COVID-19 regulations have seen many older people in self-isolation, never has it been more important to ensure people remain connected.

To do so, Queensland Seniors Week will be working outside the box to launch a full calendar of events.

“Seniors Week has always been a great opportunity for Queenslanders to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds and we want to make sure that continues this year, even if many of them are having to do it from their own home,” says Mark Tucker-Evans, the chief executive officer at Council on the Ageing Queensland (COTA), which coordinates the government-funded Queensland Seniors Week.

“While it may be a time for physical distancing, we want Virtual Seniors Week to be a time of great social interaction, bringing people together in unique ways

24 My Weekly Preview | August 7, 2020

that they may not have tried before.

“From virtual hugs and connecting through stories, people of all ages will be brought together however we can, to celebrate 60 years of Queensland seniors” Seniors Week coordinator Lisa Hodgkinson says.

Not everyone wants to be online or can access the internet. Does this sound like someone you know? Ms Hodgkinson recommends hosting a small Covid safe

BYOT (bring your own tea) party, and getting together with family and friends who can assist in enjoying the virtual calendar of events.

This can be achieved by sharing a computer, smart TV, Chromecast, or by using a projector.

While it is not the usual way of celebrating, it gives the opportunity to access a range of events and activities held throughout Queensland.

GIVE A VIRTUAL HUG A hug is a form of endearment, universal in human communities.

It can indicate support, comfort, and consolation, particularly when words are insufficient.

A hug usually demonstrates affection and emotional warmth, sometimes arising from joy or happiness when reunited with someone or seeing someone after a long time.

This once-common embrace cannot happen for many at the moment – but that does not mean we cannot share the sentiment of a hug.

We invite you to send a virtual hug to let someone know that you are thinking of them. Virtual hugs can be sent to family, friends, neighbours, or the lovely person at the shops who went above and beyond for you.

We won’t be without hugs forever, but during this time we can let someone know we are thinking of them.

Share a hug today at qldseniorsweek.org.au/virtual-hug.

THE FRESH APPROACH TO HOME CARE AND LIFESTYLE CHOICE

Danielle Mackenzie

SUNDALE CEO NOMINATED FOR MAJOR AWARD Sundale CEO, Danielle Mackenzie has been selected as a finalist in the Queensland LASA Excellence in Age Services Awards (Individual Award).

The Individual Award recognises a person who has made an outstanding contribution to the age services sector, has used innovation and initiative to improve the lives of older people and has delivered high-quality care to the aged.

There’s no doubt Ms Mackenzie has delivered on all three fronts.

She is one of the driving forces behind Sundale 2.0, and one of the architects of Sundale’s Strategic Plan, a

five-year roadmap for the future and has overseen countless proactive, positive changes in her time at the helm of Sundale.

LASA’s Excellence in Age Services Awards will be announced on August 7, to coincide with Age Care Employee Day. Sundale is a community-based, not-for-profit, retirement and care centre organisation that supports the needs of its community via outstanding care and assistance services.

My Weeky Preview congratulates Ms Mackenzie on this wonderful achievement.

We all know there’s no place like home and we understand the desire for our aging population to remain at home, happy, healthy and active in their communities. Since the introduction of Consumer Directed Care for Home Care Packages in February 2017, the older members of our community have been able to manage their own home care services. This has created a fresh outlook on home care and produced more options for genuine lifestyle choice.

Lifestyle changes can occur for a variety of different reasons, for example customers who have been receiving cleaning services or personal care following a fall or illness may now have improved mobility. With Suncare’s approach to flexible services, they can offer support in other ways. Wellbeing activities like social outings and events, or transport services for meeting up with friends and family can be a great way to make the most of your Home Care Package and maintain your lifestyle.

Other services such home modifications could make a world of difference to your day-to-day life.

Bathroom rails and kitchen

modifications can provide more safety in your home. Again, these can be available as part of your Home Care Package.

By looking at Suncare’s programs and services, you could find there a whole range of beneficial support services which are more in line with your changing lifestyle.

Suncare has been caring for Queenslanders since 1970. For 49 years, they have grown with their customers, listened to what they want and delivered flexible services in line with their needs.

If you would like to talk to the friendly team about the services Suncare offers, please call on 1800 786 227.

Care.

If and when you need it.

Sundale’s fully accredited Care Centres provide exceptional care.

With four locations on your doorstep, Sundale offers a range of stimulating and engaging lifestyle activities and services including continuum of care.

At Sundale, there’s no need to move if your needs change, with additional care, meals and assistance available, if and when you need it.

VOLUNTEERS PUT COVID VACCINE TO THE TEST

T

he world’s biggest COVID-19 vaccine study is underway with the first of 30,000 planned volunteers helping to test shots created by the US government — one of several candidates is in the final stretch of the global vaccine race.

There’s still no guarantee that the experimental vaccine, developed by the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., will really protect.

The needed proof: Volunteers won’t know if they’re getting the real shot or a dummy version. After two doses, scientists will closely track which group experiences more infections as they go about their daily routines, especially in areas where the virus still is spreading unchecked.

“Unfortunately for the United States of America, we have plenty of infections right now” to get that answer, NIH’s Dr. Anthony Fauci recently told The Associated Press.

Self Funded retirees protest the high cost of hearing aids

Several other vaccines made by China and by Britain’s Oxford University earlier this month began smaller final-stage tests in Brazil and other hard-hit countries.

But the US requires its own tests of any vaccine that might be used in the country and has set a high bar: the governmentfunded COVID-19 Prevention Network will roll out a new study of a leading candidate — each one with 30,000 volunteers.

The massive studies aren’t just to test if the shots work – they’re needed to check each potential vaccine’s safety. And following the same study rules will let scientists eventually compare all the shots.

Next up in August, the final study of the Oxford shot begins, followed by plans to test a candidate from Johnson & Johnson in September and Novavax in October – if all goes according to schedule. Pfizer Inc. plans its own 30,000-person study this summer.

That’s a stunning number of people needed to roll up their sleeves for science.

But in recent weeks, more than 150,000 Americans filled out an online registry signalling interest.

It normally takes years to create a new vaccine from scratch, but scientists are setting speed records this time around, spurred by knowledge that vaccination is the world’s best hope against the pandemic.

SHOULD YOU HAVE EAR WAX REMOVED? Ear wax or cerumen, is really important stuff. It is a waxy substance, naturally secreted in the ear canal of every person and can possess a distinctive, mild odour.

It protects the skin of the human ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some protection against bacteria, fungi, insects and water. The body cleans the ear canal using a ‘conveyor belt’ process of epithelial migration, aided by the movement of your jaw. This migration of dead skin cells towards the walls of the ear canals is at a rate comparable to that of fingernail growth. The cerumen is also moved along with this same process taking with it sweat, debris and foreign matter towards the entrance of the ear canal where it typically dries and flakes off or is cleaned away. However, as we get older this migration of wax tends to become less efficient and can lead to a build up of wax which needs to be removed manually.

There are two distinct genetically determined types of earwax: the wet type, which is dominant, and the dry type, which is recessive.

If you think wax is becoming a problem for you, see your local doctor or call EARS on 5452 6288.

Self Funded Retirees are up in arms at the high cost of high quality hearing aids!

But that is now changing thanks to a local clinic.

Local, Independent Hearing Aid Specialist at Hear4Good , Lisa Burley has decided to ensure that the clinic will offer high quality devices at reasonable prices.

“We have people coming to us who have been quoted $10,000, which is ridiculous!

You do not need to pay these sorts of prices to get better hearing”, Ms Burley says, “Our advice is always get a second opinion and don’t fall for high pressure hard sales techniques, when its something as critical as your hearing, you need to be sure, Hear4Good are the people you can trust”.

HEALTH & WELLBEING

CAN YOU SPOT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MOLE AND A MELANOMA? Winter on the Sunshine Coast offers broad blue skies and crisp mornings, beckoning us outside to enjoy the cooler weather.

While we might not think about skin cancer and protecting our skin from UV rays in winter, it is essential that we don’t become complacent with looking after our skin health. In fact, the cooler months are the ideal time for a skin cancer check, when summer tans have faded to reveal the damage left behind.

Every single day, five Australians lose their life to melanoma – sometimes looking like a tiny mole, barely visible to the naked eye (see image).

“Skin cancer can grow very fast, have various shapes and colours, and often show no symptoms until the advanced stage,” says skin cancer doctor Terry Harvey, who recently joined the busy Skin Surveillance Skin Cancer Centre in Birtinya to accommodate the growing patient demand for skin cancer care on the Sunshine Coast.

Skin cancer detection and treatment is certainly needed in the area, where the rate of melanoma diagnosis is 57 per cent above the national average, which is why regular

Living without pain

Starting a fat loss journey

The tiny lesion identified by the arrow is a proven melanoma diagnosed by Dr Terry Harvey skin cancer checks are essential.

“Early detection through an annual full-body skin cancer check is the best defence. Our mission is to detect skin cancers in the early stages to minimise complex, invasive and expensive treatments and ultimately save lives,” says Dr Harvey.

To learn more, please contact the Skin Surveillance Skin Cancer Centre, located at 5 Innovation Parkway, Birtinya. Visit skincancercentres.com.au/birtinya or call 5438 8889.

A TINY HEARING AID THAT

CAN The world’s first and only 100% invisible, 24/7 wearable, sweat-proof, shower-proof, for-months-at-a-time hearing device.

Pain is how we know something in our body is not right. There are two types of pain, ‘acute’ and ‘chronic’ and there is a vast difference between the two.

Acute pain is something we have all experienced. It is when we burn ourselves on a hot iron or what we experience when we fall over and sustain a cut, strain or sprain.

Acute pain subsides over time as the body heals.

Chronic pain is persistent pain that last for longer than three months.

Living with chronic pain is often debilitating and stressful. And while the pain may never be completely eradicated, all options for managing your pain should be thoroughly discussed with your GP to find a solution that works best for you.

There are a number of strategies GPs can use to assist people to better manage their chronic pain and this may include the prescription of medicinal cannabis where it is deemed appropriate.

If you suffer chronic pain, ensure you speak to your GP to thoroughly explore all options available.

HEARING LOSS VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The main ingredient for fat loss is to ensure you are in a calorie deficit. Simply put – we need to burn more calories than we consume. And while there are many factors that can inhibit fat loss such as stress, hormones and exercise choice – the number one determining factor is a calorie deficit.

You can work towards achieving this by moving more. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or parking further away to increase your energy expenditure. Track your daily steps and slightly increase the target weekly to allow for progression.

Ensure your diet consists of lean protein sources along with fruits and vegetables and added grains. Add unsaturated fats like avocados, salmon and almonds in moderation.

It’s always beneficial to have an idea of your daily food intake because if your weight is not shifting, you likely need to eat less. Kitchen scales and weight loss apps are a great tool to help with this.

Always aim for progression not perfection and be consistent and patient to ensure best results are attained and then maintained.

At EARS we are pioneers of the latest hearing technology. We are currently offering free of charge trials of the Phonak Lyric hearing aid. As the only hearing practice on the Sunshine Coast accredited and experienced in fitting this revolutionary product, we are now looking for volunteers with a hearing loss to come and try this breakthrough completely invisible, natural sounding technology with us.

The trial is completely free of charge and without obligation and you will be helping us to learn and study this unique proposition in our local community. If you are able to help us with this project, please call us and we will arrange an appointment.

PROPERTY

HOPE ON HORIZON FOR COAST PROPERTY The Sunshine Coast residential property market fares well compared with other parts of the country.

T

he Sunshine Coast has defied a national downturn in real estate sales and building approvals.

Ross Cattle of Define Property has been working in the Sunshine Coast real estate industry for 23 years and says he has never seen such a tight market. “Demand is up and supply is down,” he reports.

He says the first month of COVID was as difficult for the Sunshine Coast as anywhere else, but post-Easter the property market picked up and is still going strong. In particular, he says beachside and canal properties are doing well, along with established

suburbs such as Buderim.

COVID has also brought in a different type of buyer. Last month, Mr Cattle says a $1.9-million Mooloolaba beachside property was sold sight unseen.

“It was sold to people who are world travellers, when they couldn’t do that, they took a look on the map and decided here is the best place to be.”

Mr Cattle adds with a smile in his voice: “To be honest, I’m not sure why it’s taken some people so long to realise what a great place we have here.”

Sunshine Coast’s upbeat property market is in stark contrast to other places in Australia that are experiencing

a COVID induced downturn.

On the national scene, home building approvals fell to an eight-year low as of June, as the housing sector approvals for the construction of new homes were down 4.9 per cent, which was worse than the two per cent decrease the market was expecting, but better than the 15.8 per cent fall the previous month.

Approvals for private sector houses were down 5.7 per cent in the month, while those in the other dwellings category, which includes apartment blocks and townhouses, fell 5.3 per cent.

National Australia Bank economist Tapas Strickland says the outlook for dwelling construction has suffered a sharp downturn since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

“Along with the pandemic’s impact on unemployment and income, rental vacancy rates have risen and rents are declining,” he says.

Mr Strickland says the closing of Australia’s international borders has halted migration and slowed population growth, which has also affected demand for housing.

FAST FACTS Building applications – Before starting construction on most types of building work, you will need a building development approval, also known as a building approval.

To apply for a building approval you must first contact a certifier – there are many on the Sunshine Coast. A certifier will be able to tell whether you need a building approval.

Some minor building work may be accepted development or exempt building work.

Certifiers must lodge a copy of all documentation to the council for the: • building application • approval, and • final inspection.

This will keep council’s property information up-to-date with all applications and approvals for your property.

Plumbing and drainage applications – If you are using a building certifier, check with them to see if they are lodging an application on your behalf. You can submit an application by including: • the applicable form • relevant documentation, and • payment.

Building and plumbing lodgement options – The council offers several ways to lodge building and plumbing applications or documents: • online through MyCouncil • by email (see details below) • in person or by post.

What is my home worth?

Whether selling or not, we believe every property owner should ‘at least once a year’ get an updated appraisal on what their property is worth.

With 140 sales and 3000+ buyer inspections since January we have enough market information to answer any questions you might have.

Our purpose is to keep you INFORMED, rather than to INFLUENCE you.

Hence, we would rather provide you with INFORMATION than see you wrongly INFLUENCED by media speculation or uninformed commentators.

LIGHTNING’S HOME GAMES A BONUS

Andrew’s a master of the course Andrew Horner, who last year led Noosa Springs to a thrilling comefrom-behind victory in the Masters

S

unshine Coast Lightning head coach Kylee Byrne says home court advantage during the opening rounds of Suncorp Super Netball is not everything it’s cracked up to be, with plenty of difficult games ahead for her players.

Sunshine Coast Lightning have struck gold in lieu of COVID-19 fixture changes for the 2020 Suncorp Super Netball season, with five of their six first games being played at USC Stadium.

The Sippy Downs-based squad opened their season in a Queensland derby against Firebirds at Nissan Arena in Brisbane on August 1. The Sunshine Coast Lightning launched the season with a 66–48 win against the Queensland Firebirds.

While playing at their home ground, likely for the season’s entirety is a benefit, it’s also one that comes with a downside, according to Byrne.

“There’s a lot of talk around how lucky we are and how it’s a huge home advantage for us, but with that actually comes a lot of different layers of pressure that other teams just don’t have this year,” she says.

“They’re able to be in a team situation, be in a bubble and just spend that quality

Laura Scherian of the Sunshine Coast Lightning time (together) and go to meetings, but our team is still juggling whether they work, or do they still study?

“They’re now expected to be full-time netballers so there’s a whole different level for us to look at that other teams don’t have to deal with.

Ms Byrne says she wasn’t leaning too far into the home court advantage.

“We get to play in front of our friends, family, fans and members which we absolutely love doing, but in and out of

that game eyes are still on us,” she says.

“It’s a win-win but certainly there are other areas now we’ve got to consider.”

In an aim to get game fit, Lightning players hit the court last Sunday for a practice match against the Queensland men’s team where they were victorious 59–48.

pennant final at Twin Waters, showed he’s maintaining his great form by winning Saturday’s stableford competition at Noosa Springs.

Mr Horner, who was his team’s top player in that historic victory and scored the win on the third extra hole after Noosa Springs and Maroochy River had been tied on 3.5 wins after regulation play – scored 38 points on Saturday.

Playing off a handicap of seven, he beat John Gavin and Neil Cutting, who each returned 37 points. Rob Mowatt and Leon Jordan were another point further back.

In the women’s competition, Dianne Kemp won with 39 points, a stroke ahead of Janet Young. Jill Wilson, Tracey Carter and Margaret Hart tied for third on 35 points.

The team’s first home game of the season against the Collingwood Magpies will be at USC this Saturday August 8 at 1pm.

With international flights affected due to COVID-19, Walker Seafoods has adjusted its business model, focusing on exporting frozen albacore tuna.

Taking advantage of JobKeeper for 13 staff, investing in a blast freezer through the government’s instant asset write-off and using the International Freight Assistance Mechanism freight flights, the business is keeping afloat.

“We are exporting 10 per cent of what we used to, but we are doing the best we can,” Ms Walker says, adding that having the prime minster visit was a great opportunity, not only for her business but also for the entire region.

“He had a genuine interest in what we were doing and it was good to see him out talking to businesses.”

Mr Morrison says, “COVID is a difficult beast to manage”, but the success of Walker Seafoods highlights the importance of keeping the economy afloat. “This is a business that has not let their head drip; this is a business that has kept their eyes forward and looking at their opportunities and how they can adapt,” he says.

Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says there are some 20,400 Sunshine Coast businesses who are surviving thanks to JobKeeper.

“Almost every day when I go out and talk to businesses, they all say one thing: ‘thank you so much for JobKeeper’,” Mr Wallace says.

HomeBuilder stalled Sunshine Coast State LNP members are slamming the state government for “dragging their heels” to help the residential construction industry bounce back from COVID-19.

The federal government announced the time-limited HomeBuilder grant in June, but the state is yet to implement the process.

“No one can even apply for it yet,” Member for Maroochydore Fiona Simpson says.

“The Office of State Revenue website says grant applications won’t even be open until August … and they close in December – the delay is simply unacceptable,” Ms Simpson says.

“The local construction industry has told me the impacts of the delay are potentially catastrophic.”

HomeBuilder will provide eligible owner-occupiers, including first homebuyers, $25,000 to build a new home or substantially renovate an existing home where the contract is signed between June 4 and December 31, 2020.

Member for Buderim Brent Mickelberg says it takes some time to have construction contracts put in place after grants are approved. “I am already aware of a number of building projects that are currently stalled … that has the potential to bite the Queensland construction industry hard in the coming months.”

Mia Hollis bought Buds on Buderim three years ago

Buderim business blooms WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

M

ia Hollis has overcome many challenges since buying a rundown florist in Buderim when she was just 22 years old.

Three years on and Buds on Buderim is flourishing, as is Ms Hollis, who is growing as a florist and business owner.

She says she was never expecting to own a business and is learning very quickly how to make hers successful.

“It’s blood, sweat and tears every day,” she says. “Running a business becomes second nature; you struggle and learn from it.”

Celebrating her third anniversary

Trading in Buderim for over 30 years

Real Fresh, Real Quality Unreal Taste

with the business on August 1, Ms Hollis says 2020 is proving to her how to survive an economic crisis.

“This is the biggest year for me. I didn’t realise how important my little shop and team were until coronavirus hit.

“We boomed through the period.

“People were still having babies and birthdays, and giving flowers is such a time-old tradition and I feel like that tradition has been brought back.”

Ms Hollis’s passion for floristry began through work experience, transiting into her completing her apprenticeship.

“I have always been really creative, and I love designing,” she says.

Buds on Buderim offers “everyday flowers” for gifts as well as homewares priding itself on being affordable.

“I understand flowers can be expensive, I try to be affordable,” Ms Hollis says.

“I also do a bit of funeral work, but I don’t do weddings. I decided not to; I want to be a bit different.”

As a young business owner, Ms Hollis is always striving to bring something fresh and exciting into her shop.

“We are a florist with a bit more.”

Buds on Buderim also has a large online customer base, shipping Australia wide, and is the 100th new member of the 4556 Chamber of Commerce.

Nambour exhibition Nambour Community Centre is hosting photographic exhibition Changing Perceptions on Homelessness. Part of Homelessness Week, it is shining a light on the estimated 1600 people homeless on the Sunshine Coast every night. The exhibition at C-Square runs until August 13 from 10am to noon, with pop-up activities daily.

Grants awarded Nearly $2 million in Australian Research Council Future Fellowships has been awarded to two researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast. Associate Professor Sandy O’Sullivan will receive $1 million to study and map the complex identities of First Nations peoples, and Associate Professor Celine Frere will receive nearly $970,000 to help protect wildlife from emerging fungal diseases.

Garden club celebrating 40 years Nambour Garden Club is marking its 40th anniversary.

In 1979, two Nambour ladies were invited by Garden Clubs Australia to form a club and 32 people attended the first meeting in 1980.

“Meetings progressed from being held in many beautiful gardens and parks, to the Uniting Church Hall where the large vibrant club now meets,” current president Karel Small says. “Some of the inaugural members are still members to this day.”

The club supports many charities, raises funds for drought, bushfire and flood relief and works with local schools

Immanuel learners and seniors unite WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

T

echnology is continuing to keep senior residents in contact with early learning children at Immanuel Lutheran College as they foster very special relationships.

In November last year the school implemented the Moving Moments program, an initiative funded by the health department to forge relationships between young and old.

Beginning face to face with activities and morning tea, the program moved online once the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Immanuel ELC service leader Tracey Ellaway says the students named the seniors “VIPs”.

“It was incredibly successful; it helped the children with their skills but also it brought great joy to both parties,” she says.

“COVID hit and we had to think of a way to make sure these connections stayed at the forefront.

“Moving Moments invested in iPads to help the seniors use Zoom, not only helping them connecting with families but the kids at our school as well.

“The children loved it; they would say to me ‘are the VIPs in the iPad or are they in the chairs’, because before COVID they would wait in the foyer.”

Ms Ellaway says the children are the

Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service has opened the application process for up to $600,000 in research grants. The three research grant categories will provide financial and practical support for innovation, clinical, student and pilot studies. Visit the Wishlist website or email grants@health.qld.gov.au to apply.

Construction begins

“It helped the children with their skills but also it brought great joy to both parties” reason the VIPs connected with technology.

“We never dreamed when it all happened that the VIPs would want to learn technology.

“They had to learn a whole new of skills, but all of them wanted to.”

Ms Ellaway says outside of school, some students visit their senior buddies in their homes.

Grants on offer

Construction has begun on the $83 million Market Lane Residences by Brisbanebased Habitat Development Group in the new Maroochydore CBD centre. Market Lane Residences will comprise 146 twoand three- bedroom apartments plus six small-office home-office townhomes and ground-floor retail spaces.

Hazard strategy

“Some real connections have been formed,” she adds.

The program briefly went back to face to face during July but is now online again to be on the COVID-safe side.

Sunshine Coast Council is developing ‘Our Resilient Coast. Our Future’, a long-term coastal hazard adaptation strategy to help manage the effects of coastal hazards and increase the resilience of our region.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson says the strategy will improve the understanding of coastal hazards and how they are likely to change over the next 80 years. Locals are being asked to take part is a survey via haveyoursay.sunshinecoast. qld.gov.au before August 30.

A community group has been fighting the Twin Waters West development plans since 2016

Uncertain future for TWW WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

T

he future of a controversial Twin Waters West development remains in the balance after Sunshine Coast Council rejected Stockland’s masterplanned residential community.

Risk of flooding and subsequent concerns over insurance policies are major red flags for locals in the area,

resulting in years of community backlash.

Fighting the development since 2016, the council decision was a major win for the Twin Waters West and Surrounds (TWWS) community group, which is now putting forward an alternative use for the site.

President Kathryn Hyman says she is pleased with the council’s decision after

years of taking what she describes as an “evidence-based approach”.

“There was clear community opposition for this project,” Ms Hyman says.

“Because we had an evidence-based approach, there was really no getting around the risk.

“We had a relevant voice that resonated with the councillors.”

In a council meeting late last month, division eight councillor Jason O’Pray successfully put forward the motion to reject the application.

Councillor’s Rick Baberowski, Joe Natoli, Winston Johnston, Christian Dickson, Ted Hungerford, Maria Suarez and David Law backed the rejection, while councillors Terry Landsberg and Peter Cox voted against it.

Now TWWS is hoping a push for a Kabi Kabi cultural centre on the site will be welcomed by Stockland.

“We have a lot of community support for a Kabi Kabi cultural interpretive centre, art gallery and eastern grey kangaroo viewing platform,” Ms Hyman says.

She adds Stockland supports the concept, but it could be some time before a decision is made on if the developers will explore the avenue further.

“We would need to work with council to have the land rezoned for low-impact tourism use,” she says.

“We are pushing hard for this.”

PM’s quick visit to The Ginger Factory It’s usually a case of spot the gingerbread man at Yandina’s Ginger Factory, but recently it was a blink and you’ll miss it moment as Prime Minister Scott Morrison made a short but sweet visit.

The Ginger Factory’s assistant manager Michelle O’Brien says it is a privilege to have been included in the prime minister’s visit.

“We were able to take him through our viewing deck and through to the factory floor,” Ms O’Brien says.

“He was great to talk with and very interested in the fact we’ve been in operation since 1942.

“He also mentioned he had visited the park previously with his wife Jenny and kids, but that was prior to being prime minister.”

Ms O’Brien says without JobKeeper, the factory would be unable to continue daily operations.

“We’ve been very grateful for it,” she says. “We’ve actually needed to have more staff on to keep the park COVID-safe.

“JobKeeper means we can have those staff on.”

As far as Ms O’Brien knows, this is the first visit from a sitting prime minister, but not the first time they have seen dignity. “Lady Di and Prince Charles visited once,” she says.

New Coolum police station WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

W

orks are almost complete on a new multimilliondollar police facility in Coolum, with officers excited to move in.

Coolum Police Station officer-incharge Senior Sergeant Hardy Wirth says the new station is very welcome after 15 years.

“The original station was built in 2005 in William Street but because of land issues we put it on the back of a truck and came out to our current site in 2015.”

Minister for police Mark Ryan says completion of the $2.7 million facility is a big win for the community.

“Police on the Sunshine Coast deserve state-of-the-art-facilities as they help

keep Queenslanders safe,” Mr Ryan says.

“By building these facilities, we’re keeping Queenslanders safe and creating jobs at the same time.”

Sunshine Coast-based Badge Constructions completed the works, which began in February.

“I was very pleased to see this contract go to a local firm,” Mr Ryan says.

The new station includes a soundproof interview room, dayroom, amenities and holding cell, and will support improved safety for staff and the public.

Final works, including IT and telephone systems, will be completed over the next month.

Mr Ryan says police have done a great job keeping the community safe during the COVID pandemic.

Snr-Sgt Wirth says 2020 has proved a “dynamic” year for officers. “We are seeing a lot of different issues in the community,” he says.

He says break-ins are the biggest concern to the community right now.

“We are seeing a lot of personal security issues with break-ins of cars and homes. We understand we live a beachside lifestyle, but it’s an important reminder to make sure when you leave you lock your house and car and remove your wallet from sight.”

Mackenzie Anderson is the face of Wishlist Foundation’s latest fundraiser

he Sunshine Coast’s hospital foundation Wishlist will host its Wishlist Giving Day on Thursday, August 20 with vital funds to help families children.

“This is our very first Wishlist Giving Day, so we have high hopes the community will rally around us and their local hospital, and donate online on August 20,” Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe says.

“You just never know when you might need the help of your local hospital, so we are here to make sure we provide what is needed along the way.

“This includes medical equipment, services to support patients and families, investing in innovative local medical research, and so much more.”

While fundraising is down $750,000 this year due to COVID-19, Ms Rowe says the need for equipment and support remains.

This program is a familiar pillar of grant funding support for Sunshine Coast community groups. For this financial year, council is temporarily suspending the co-funding requirements for Major Grants.

We are going to inject money into community groups to spend quickly and purposefully in our local economy, on projects that keep our community resilient and vibrant, and deliver maximum community benefit.

Volunteers at sporting clubs, neighbourhood centres, museums and arts facilities have gone above and beyond to keep communities connected through the stress of this year.

Council grants officers are available to discuss community group’s projects and funding needs on 5420 8616, or via grants@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

Eumundi students are ready to rock

students.

Last month, four students under the direction of musician and artistic director Katie Noonan took to Instagram for The Isol-Aid Festival.

The festival is helping financially support artists worldwide now that live gigs are on hold due to COVID-19.

“The Isol-Aid Festival set was amazing – all the kids performed so well and really conquered their fears and performed brilliantly,” Ms Noonan says.

“The future of Australian music is bright and beautiful.”

Now in it’s fifth year, Eumundi School of Rock has 23 students from Years three to eight with a new teenage super band made up of musicians aged 13 to 17.

“We only play Aussie tunes, we pay our teachers professionally and put on an epic big rock concert, but the main aim is for young people to feel good, make friends and discover the magic of music,” Ms Noonan says.

Hazard strategy Sunshine Coast Council is developing ‘Our Resilient Coast. Our Future’, a long-term coastal hazard adaptation strategy to help manage the impacts of coastal hazards and increase the resilience of our region. Locals are being asked to take part in a survey via haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au before August 30.

To buy tickets, go to horizonfestival.com. au/school-of-rock.

The students will be changing up how they perform this year with a drive-in concert at Eumundi Showgrounds as part of the Horizon Festival. “We can’t wait to showcase all of our amazing 30 kids in our big drive-in gig on August 29.”

Nutworks receives funding boost A leading Yandina-based macadamia exporter is rebounding thanks to a $50,000 grant as part of Queensland’s plan for economic recovery.

Demand for Nutworks’ products has fallen across all markets, and the company has been forced to stand down a large portion of staff.

Minister for agriculture Mark Furner says the grant will help Nutworks introduce a new macadamia product to the market, creating more jobs.

“The grant will be used for new

equipment, e-commerce website development and trade show attendance, allowing the business to diversify and meet growing consumer demand for,” Mr Furner says.

Nutworks CEO Kylie Watson says the funding will be key to the company’s future. “Project activities will provide job security for our staff … and create 35 new jobs within our southeast Queensland business, in areas such as research and development, production and marketing, and along the supply chain,” she says.

Beerwah Sportsground Management Committee’s Helen Weil and Jenny Broderick

Frustration high in Beerwah WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

eerwah Sportsground is locking into a “frustrating” battle with Sunshine Coast Council over changes to its lease agreement.

In 2017 the council revoked the sportsground’s right to provide power to guests despite granting approval for 25 powered caravan sites in 2006.

Additionally, the lease no longer permits the sportsground to accept bookings from caravan clubs and associated groups.

Beerwah Sportsground spokesperson Jenny Broderick says the limit on the site’s ability to attract tourism while Queensland is “good to go” makes no sense. During the July school holidays,

Ms Broderick says they were declining 70 per cent of visitor enquiries.

“Power is available, however, we have been instructed not to allow campers access.

“At a council officer’s own admission, there is no legislation stating that we are unable to offer power at the campsites, it was a decision made at their own discretion.”

State Member for Caloundra Mark McArdle recently met with the Beerwah Sportsground Management Committee.

“I cannot imagine what purpose any of this mess serves to assist the local community, particularly given our current economic situation,” Mr McArdle says.

Beerwah Sportsground is also working to fight land useage issues for its popular rallies. “In February 2020, the management committee received advice that they would no longer be permitted to host rallies or gatherings for caravan clubs,” Mr McArdle says.

“Their lease states that the permitted use of the land is sports ground and ancillary activities, though the land on which the club operates is deemed as showground and recreational reserve.”

Ms Broderick says the rallies, which have been running since 1984, bring economic benefit to the Beerwah community. “These rallies inject thousands of dollars into our local economy, benefitting many small, local businesses.”

Rail upgrade project on track Tenders will be sought this month for the design and construction of stage one of the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade.

Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey says the major rail upgrade is ready to move off the page and onto the ground in the coming months.

“Realignment of Steve Irwin Way needs to happen before we can start work in the rail corridor, so it’s pleasing to see progress being made,” Mr Bailey says.

“The 333 jobs and economic stimulus that will be delivered by stage one of the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade project are essential for the Sunshine Coast.”

Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says there will be opportunity for locals to be involved.

“This project will provide local jobs for local people and we want coast and hinterland communities to be part of every step of this project,” Mr Wallace says.

The project will include sections of line duplication, as well as station upgrades, new park-and-ride facilities and new rail passing loops.

Early works to support the upgrade are expected to start early next year, with major construction to follow in 2022.

Diagnosed with pre-eclampsia at 28 weeks, Ms Anderson was unable to give birth at Gympie Hospital as planned, with Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) the best option to help her daughter make it through.

T

he Pelican Waters marina precinct will be the first project of its kind in decades for southern Queensland after being granted official council approval.

The multimillion-dollar development will encompass a fully functioning marina and boatyard and the southern region’s only on-water fuel dock.

Pelican Waters general manger for development Hamish Pressland says the project will reshape the southern

Sunshine Coast as a premium lifestyle and visitor destination.

A dry stacker with 160 spaces for boats up to 10 metres long, plus 125 wet berths catering for vessels up to 13 metres, will make up part of the precinct.

“Wash-down and engine-flush services will also be available, and unlimited boat lifts are included in each leasing fee,” Mr Pressland says.

Construction will begin at the end of 2020.

It’s a privilege to be back for my third term representing division three. Thank you for your ongoing support and vote of confidence. Division three is a wonderful area, with great waterways and diverse, energetic communities throughout Aroona, Bokarina, Birtinya, Currimundi, Little Mountain, Meridan Plains, Warana and Wurtulla. I look forward to working with residents and community groups over the next four years.

I’m pleased to advise work on the Coastal Pathway, which I know is a much-loved piece of community

infrastructure, will continue this financial year with $1 million allocated to continue its missing link at Warana.

We’re also working on a significant master plan for the 75-hectare Honey Farm Road Sport and Recreation Precinct in Meridan Plains. Once delivered, the facility will provide our region with a range of spaces for active sports, outdoor recreation, healthy living and community events.

I will also continue to advocate for the Sunshine Coast Stadium expansion project. As our population grows, it’s our ambition to develop a stadium that over time will have the capacity to stage international and national sporting, recreational and entertainment events.

As environment and liveability portfolio councillor, alongside my colleague Maria Suarez, I’m pleased to advocate for long-term projects such as Blue Heart Sunshine Coast, the Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy – ‘Our Resilient Coast. Our Future’ and the Sunshine Coast Biosphere Nomination that will help to deliver a healthy environment and liveable Sunshine Coast.

I pride myself on being accessible to the community, so I encourage you to reach out with any concerns or feedback via email at peter.cox@sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au or call my office on 5420 8978.

Zoo’s tallest giraffe

Talara students encouraged to take part Taking risks and confidently confronting challenges is all in a day’s work for students at Talara Primary College (TPC), and it doesn’t all just take place inside the classroom.

Students from Year one to six are invited to participate in TPC’s extensive extra-curricular arts program.

Whether it be dance excellence or the tapping team, drama excellence or the backstage crew, the cheerleading team or the skipping squad, choir excellence or the instrumental ensembles, the list of programs on offer goes on.

More than 400 students participate in the programs, which are inclusive of all who want to be involved, regardless of their experience. TPC also has 40 students as part of the boy’s dance team.

Performing arts teacher Deb Fritz says the programs are “invaluable” for students.

“They don’t just learn to dance, they are also learning essential life skills such as teamwork, decision-making, problem solving, resilience, confidence and the values of respect and trust,” Mrs Fitz says.

The school also gives senior students the opportunity to lead programs under the guidance of their teachers.

Talara Primary College students

Australia Zoo is officially home to the world tallest living giraffe. Forest the giraffe measures 5.7 metres tall, which has earned him a place in the Guinness World Records.

Bindi Irwin says, “We are so proud of our towering guy; he has such a wonderful heart”. Forest was born in 2007 and is the only male of his herd.

During a visit to the Sunshine Coast last month, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says more than $3 million from the JobKeeper program is keeping animals fed and staff in jobs at the zoo.

History open day Caloundra Family History Group is celebrating Family History Month this August, offering opportunities for locals to delve into their ancestry via free Zoom talks.

On August 15, the group will hold a virtual open day from 9am to midday.

Locals can submit a question on their family history to hello@caloundrafamily history.org.au before August 10. Then, on August 26 at 1.30pm, guest speaker Helen Smith will present her topic, ‘What DNA can do for you’.

Email ralphgray@hotmail.com or call 0411 881 745 to confirm how to join a talk.

Michael Shadforth Caloundra Chamber of Commerce president

The Sunshine Coast has become the flight deck as many CEOs have become used to running their business remotely from home after COVID forced remote working to become the new norm.

Since the world changed earlier this year, everyone has had to learn how to adapt to doing business differently.

The growth of Zoom has happened due to everybody having to work remotely, and now people are using these tools and similar ones to enhance their business productivity.

Many have found these new tools were such an improvement that in many cases it is the cause of restructuring that will allow business owners to be in the office less.

The winner from this is the Sunshine Coast, as many people have made the decision to run their business from the region.

I believe this is going to cause a change that no one would expect with a new wave of CEOs CFOs and COOs moving their families to the Coast for a healthier lifestyle.

Student athlete now an inspiration to others A University of the Sunshine Coast high-performance student athlete who benefited from the encouragement of others as he powered to success, is joining an initiative to do the same for others.

Moffat Beach longboarder Riley Thomson is partnering with local charity The Encouragement Foundation for the ‘I encourage you’ initiative.

A series of motivational letters from student athletes will be sent to young people across the region.

“I hope to inspire others to follow their dreams regardless of their perceived limitations,” Mr Thomson says

$4.5 million Caloundra tennis centre now open Future tennis stars, keen amateurs and visiting champions have a new home to court success, with the upgraded $4.5 million Sunshine Coast Tennis Centre at Caloundra officially open.

Caloundra Tennis Association manager Matt Deverson has been playing at the facility since he was four years old. “Throughout my life the club has continued to grow and I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in many aspects of its operation and continued success,” Mr Deverson says.

“Our plan going forward is to continue

to give everyone amazing playing experiences, and to provide to kids of all levels, the coaching, training, and opportunities to chase their tennis dreams.

“We want to attract major tennis events for all to enjoy, continue giving our social players and competition players great opportunities and provide our spectators with an unforgettable experience.

Mr Deverson thanks the council for its support in making the centre “one of the best tennis facilities in the country”.

with MWP’s man in the water

Let me set the scene. At 6am last Sunday, nearly 250 surfers turned up and paddled out to say a final goodbye to one of Caloundra’s favourite surfers/ friend on a beautiful sunrise. Some beautiful speeches followed by a powerful Maori spoken send-off. As his ashes were sprinkled, an epic set of waves rolled through the point.

Then everyone returned on sunset to have a few drinks as the near full moon rose over the ocean. Maia Ngamnau (@thesurfshack) delivered the ultimate gift for his departure. A beautiful vibe that everyone felt all day hopefully longer.

Waves again this weekend so enjoy the vibe!
