LABOUR OF LOVE

COAST SCORES THREE MORE GAMES

Middle-aged Australians have helped more during COVID, but received less help in return.

M

iddle-aged Australians have been the most likely to give help during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the least likely to receive it.

That’s just one snapshot from a survey looking at life during the deadly virus, which also highlighted the value of relatives during lockdown.

More than 7300 people took part in the questionnaire commissioned by the Australian Institute of Family Studies between May 1 and June 9.

Eighty per cent of respondents aged 50 to 69 reported providing physical, emotional or financial support to someone outside their household. Most of that help went to relatives living at a

different property.

In the same age bracket, 62 per cent of people reported receiving no help themselves.

A 61-year-old woman spent more time caring for her elderly parents, “doing their shopping, getting their medication supplies, advocating during tele-health calls, house cleaning and general care”.

“Relatives were the most common source of help, with more than one in four people saying their household got help from a relative living elsewhere,” lead investigator Kelly Hand says.

“There was also a large number of people – around six in 10 – who said they had given some type of physical help to someone outside their household, things like shopping, dropping off food, domestic work or help with transport or personal care.”

The findings also showed that women were more likely than men to provide help to people outside their own home, and that second to relatives, friends provided the most support.

Mr Hand says families proved to be the backbone of community, even though their support might not always be visible.

The Sunshine Coast has scored yet another hat-trick for footy fans to witness NRL action close-up with Melbourne Storm and Sunshine Coast Council confirming the club’s last three home games of the regular season will be played at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

In the lead-up to the finals series, Storm will take on Manly in Round 16 on Sunday, August 30 at 4.05pm.

The second-on-the-ladder premiership contenders will then battle it out against North Queensland Cowboys on Sunday September 13 at 4.05pm (Round 18), before facing Wests Tigers on Saturday September 19 at 5.30pm (Round 19).

The venue layout is similar to the Storm versus Bulldogs match with an overall approved capacity of approximately 4100.

Although it might sound a little strange, the word for an individual piece of spaghetti is spaghetto. The same goes for a single piece of confetti, which is confetto, as well as a single piece of graffiti, which is graffito, according to Merriam-Webster.

The Olivetti company was founded as a typewriter manufacturer by Camillo Olivetti in 1908 in Ivrea, Italy. The firm was mainly developed by his son Adriano Olivetti. Olivetti opened its first overseas manufacturing plant in 1930, and its Divisumma electric calculator was launched in 1948. Olivetti produced Italy’s first electronic computer, the transistorised Elea 9003, in 1959, and purchased the Underwood Typewriter Company that year. In 1964 the company sold its electronics division to the American company General Electric.

Bands have marched down local streets for celebrations and important occasions since the early 1900s. At a public meeting held on January 20, 1906, it was decided that Nambour would have a town band. That band is now known as Sunshine Brass and is the oldest volunteer organisation on the Sunshine Coast. In 1935, Maroochy District Band played at the Yandina Show. That band also led a large procession around the Kenilworth town square in 1963. Extract from heritage.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Stories

STROKE RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE

EDUCATION SUPPORT

Stroke is a common brain injury, and one that local boy Jack Fenton experienced more than a year ago.

A

mong the ways a brain can fail – tumour, aneurysm, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s – stroke is one of the most common and it can be lethal.

A stroke is what affected then-16year-old Jack Fenton while undergoing heart surgery just over a year ago. Three bubbles of oxygen from the heart and lung machine he was connected to travelled through to lodge in his brain, causing a stroke that left him without movement in his left arm and the left side of his face completely numb.

The doctors knew what had happened and were quick to act. Problematically though, as Jack’s mother Mrs Fenton explains, the therapy staff spoke as if Jack wouldn’t recover.

“We were in tears when we left Brisbane. Staff were saying, ‘we’ll find another way for you to do things. Find another school. You know you’ve had a brain injury. You know you won’t be going back to normal school’,” Mrs Fenton says of the experience.

Mrs Fenton refused to see Jack’s immobility and numbness as a permanent part of his life, seeking out

services closer to their home in the Sunshine Coast hinterland – determined that Jack would recover completely.

When you meet Jack, the first thing that strikes you is the absence of any signs of a stroke.

At the time of the stroke, Mrs Fenton saw the need to find therapies to assist in Jack’s recovery as a matter of urgency. The success of her determination is evidenced

in his remarkable progress a mere 15 months on.

Mrs Fenton began researching and discovered a number of therapeutic approaches to help Jack, now 17, regain mobility and movement in his left arm – drawing on therapies from acupuncture to physiotherapy to a medical assistive device known as the MOllii Suit.

MOllii is a functional garment that consists of a jacket and a pair of pants with a computer control unit that sends electrical signals to the targeted areas of the body via electrodes. MOllii uses assistive technology with a unique application for people with spasticity, motor impairment, increased or decreased muscular tension, mobility issues and muscular pain and can used by people for a number of muscular and neurological conditions in adults and children alike.

Accessing MOllii locally through Maroochydore’s Suncoast Integrated Therapies, Mrs Fenton soon discovered that it helped restore Jack’s movement and mobility. Being able to use the suit on a daily basis for a month was invaluable to Jack’s full recovery, she believes.

University students who fail half of their first-year subjects could lose financial support under a federal government proposal to curb soaring debts.

The government is targeting students who amass debts by over-enrolling in subjects, sometimes at multiple institutions.

Universities will have to make greater efforts to assess academic suitability for selected courses and monitor students’ ongoing progress.

Education minister Dan Tehan says, “The last thing we want is students doing a course, not getting a qualification, but then being left with the debt.”

He wants universities to work closely with students if they’re struggling by offering support or suggesting another course.

The government held $66.6 billion in Higher Education Loan Programme debt in 2018/19. More than 15 per cent of that amount is not expected to be repaid.

FEATURE STORY

ARTIST’S IMPRESSION

What will mass transit really mean?

Debate is raging about a proposal for a mass transit project, with one side saying we need it built before our population explodes and the other side saying it’s just an excuse to introduce high-density housing along the corridor. WORDS: Janine Hill.

T

he Sunshine Coast Mass Transit project has ignited a debate about density in the coastal strip between Maroochydore and Caloundra. Is the mass transit a way of coping with inevitable population growth?

Or do we need population growth to sustain mass transit? And what is a mass transit anyway?

Sunshine Coast Council defines mass transit as “a form of public transport that concentrates on moving large numbers of people over a fixed route or network”.

The council has been building a case for mass transit since councillor Vivien Griffin raised it in the Bob Abbot-led council of 2011, before Noosa’s de-amalgamation.

Planning to date involves a 22-kilometre mass transit corridor between Maroochydore and Caloundra and while various transport options have been put forward, light rail has been named as the preferred option with a bus rapid transit system runner-up.

The mass transit corridor is distinct from the CAMCOS (Caboolture to Maroochydore Corridor Study) corridor rail link between Beerwah and

12 My Weekly Preview | August 28, 2020

12.indd 1

Maroochydore, which would involve a new rail line from Caloundra South to Maroochydore.

The nominated Sunshine Coast mass transit corridor follows Aerodrome Road at Maroochydore, Alexandra Parade at Alexandra Headland, Brisbane Road at Mooloolaba, and continues south along the Nicklin Way.

precinct with 16 stations, and the second running nine kilometres from there to Caloundra with nine stations.

A journey on the 13-kilometre first stage would take about 30 minutes by light rail, in a vehicle about 45 metres long, capable of carrying 80 people seated or 220 standing, and capable of travelling at up to 80 kilometres per hour.

“Would you like a dollar for every time someone said, ‘why don’t you get the infrastructure in before you build the houses’?”

Mayor Mark Jamieson

A draft copy of a Preliminary Business Case report prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) suggests the mass transit corridor would be built in two stages, the first being a 13-kilometre stretch from Maroochydore to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital

The report says mass transit is needed to alleviate the increased traffic that will come with an expected population increase of about 200,000 to 518,000 by 2041.

Mayor Mark Jamieson says an efficient, accessible public transport

system is necessary if the Sunshine Coast is to remain a beautiful, liveable location as the population grows.

“Simply continuing to build roads which only encourages people to use a private vehicle is not an option for our Sunshine Coast,” Mayor Jamieson says in a statement released this month.

However, the mass transit project has begun to attract criticism, with some regarding it as a ploy to justify increased population density in the coastal strip.

Buddina’s Tracey Goodwin-McDonald was shocked when she began reading reports that talk about increasing the number of dwellings in the corridor from 11,000 in 2016 to more than 50,000 by 2041– a five-fold increase.

She and a friend, Kate Harvey, learned about the mass transit project during a meeting with a council staff member who was unable to answer their questions about building height and densities in their area because the mass transit corridor was yet to be finalised.

“We said, ‘What does mass transit have to do with densification’?” Ms Godwin-McDonald says.

Ms Goodwin-McDonald says myweeklypreview.com.au

24/08/2020 3:54:26 PM

FEATURE STORY increasing the densification of the area had never been discussed in two limited rounds of public consultation held during preparation of the various reports so far.

“As we spoke to people, we found that people were aware of the light rail, but they didn’t know about the densification,” she says.

Certainly, the PwC report and a Strategic Business Case presented to the council last year contain various mentions of urban renewal and the benefits of containing much of the expected population growth in the mass transit corridor.

The PwC report says mass transit must act as “a catalyst that will engage developers and the broader community in an urban transformation process that results in a significant proportion of new quality housing choices being located within the mass transit corridor.”

Ms Goodwin-McDonald, Ms Harvey and a retired engineer are now the nucleus of the Mass Transit Action group, or Mtag, which is against high-rise along the coastal strip and has been calling for greater public consultation before the project proceeds any further.

In a statement, Mr Jamieson has denied plans for high-rise building in the mass transit corridor, but did not address questions of increased density.

“Our council has never pushed for or advocated for a ‘wall of high rise from Maroochydore to Caloundra’ and these claims are both baseless and questionable in their intent.”

But Mr Jamieson says that the existing road network will choke itself if something is not done and maintains that “a mass transit network – can be delivered in a way that does not compromise the liveability of our coastal communities”.

A town planner, who did not want to be named, says the council’s mass transit project was undoubtedly based on the assumption that population density would be increased in the corridor.

He says there is a trend for using mass transit and high density living because technologies such as light rail were only viable if enough people lived within walking distance – but he doubts the required urban densification would agree with the coastal lifestyle that drew most people to the area.

Councillor Joe Natoli and Member for Kawana Jarrod Bleijie have also begun questioning the motives of the mass transit project.

“This isn’t about public transport, this is about building high rise along the beach,” Mr Bleijie said at a media conference.

Mr Natoli describes the mass transit project in its current form as “the greatest threat that I’ve see to our

TIMELINE 2011 Cr Vivien Griffin raises the possibility of light rail on the Sunshine Coast.

The council establishes a light rail task force of 13 people from the community, business, industry, education, transport, and environmental sectors. The task force considered options for mass transit.

2012 A Line in the Sand, a pre-feasibility and rapid economic appraisal looked at six possible corridors for mass transit.

2019 A Strategic Business Case report was presented to the council in July 2019.

2020 A Preliminary Business Case has been prepared with a view to moving to preparation of a Detailed Business Case, a $15-million study jointly funded by the Sunshine Coast Council and the state government.

However, prior to accepting the PBC, the council has voted to have more community consultation.

Councillor Joe Natoli, Tracey Goodwin-McDonald and State Member for Kawana, Jarrod Bleijie lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast”.

Mr Natoli moved a motion at the August 20 council meeting that the council carry out public consultation before proceeding further with the project. The council eventually agreed seven-to-three to do so after more than an hour of debate.

Mr Natoli said the council did not appear to have considered other options, such as catering for population growth along the CAMCOS corridor, which the state government already owns.

“Why aren’t we walking about these other options?” Mr Natoli asked at the meeting. “Why is it that there’s only one option on the table? The community has had no say in this…

Do we want to make 23,000 people in this corridor the sacrificial lambs…” he told the meeting.

Mr Jamieson did not support the motion for consultation, saying he would take direction from a meeting on August 27.

He said the challenge is to plan for the future, not today, and the council can’t afford a stop-start approach.

“Would you like a dollar for every time someone said, ‘why don’t you get the infrastructure in before you build the houses?’ he told the meeting. “Well, here we are at a point in time trying to do exactly that, even though – and it’s worth making the point – public transport is not the responsibility of local government. We’re there because nobody else is doing anything about it.”

RUSSIA SAYS VACCINE CRITICISM ‘GROUNDLESS’ Trials of Russia’s COVID-19 vaccine are incomplete, but the country’s leaders are determined to roll out the vaccine within weeks. WORDS: AAP.

R

ussia says the first batch of what it claims is the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine will be rolled out within two weeks and has rejected safety concerns aired by some experts as “groundless”.

The vaccine, called ‘Sputnik V’ in homage to the world’s first satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, has yet to complete its final trials and some scientists say they fear Moscow may be putting national prestige before safety.

Scientists from Germany, the United States and Britain have queried the wisdom of approving the vaccine before testing is complete.

“It seems our foreign colleagues are sensing the specific competitive advantages of the Russian drug and are trying to express opinions that in our opinion are completely groundless,” Russian health minister Mikhail Murashko said the day after President Vladimir Putin announced it had won regulatory approval.

On the streets of Moscow, some Russians have said they would be too scared to try the vaccine, while others agreed with their government that

scepticism expressed by foreign experts was driven by jealousy.

Others said they understood why Russia was in a hurry to get a new vaccine and trusted it, but doubted they would really have a say in whether to have it.

“I’m a teacher and they’ll recommend we get it,” said Moscow resident Irina Fashchevskaya. “We’ll be forced to do it.”

Officials have said that the vaccine, developed by Moscow’s Gamaleya Institute, would be administered to people, including doctors, on a voluntary basis in the final trial. Mass roll-out in Russia is expected to start in October.

Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s RDIF

sovereign wealth fund, has spoken of an information war against his country, an assertion that finds sympathy with Russians weary of what they regard as years of Western condescension.

The Moscow-based Association of Clinical Trials Organisations (ACTO), a trade body representing the world’s top drugmakers in Russia, had urged the health ministry to postpone the vaccine’s approval until the final trial had been completed.

“It’s the ambition, the desire to be first in a field in which, unfortunately, Russia cannot vie for a top spot,” executive director Svetlana Zavidova told Reuters.

“Our task is now to warn the population because we so far don’t understand how they [the authorities] are going to carry out mass vaccination.”

Final trials, normally carried out on thousands of participants, are considered essential in determining safety and efficacy. Only about 10 per cent of clinical trials are successful.

The Brazilian state of Parana says it’s reached a deal to produce the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Philippines and Kazakhstan have also expressed interest in the vaccine’s manufacture, while the World Health Organisation says it has not received enough information to evaluate it.

Heidi Larson, who leads the Vaccine Confidence Project (VCP), a global surveillance programme on vaccine trust, said she feared Russia’s rush could further dent public trust.

A VCP survey in 19 countries is set to show that Russians were the least trusting of vaccines. Putin, who said the vaccine had already been administered to one of his daughters without any problems, and a string of other officials have insisted it is safe.

LOCAL MUMPRENEURS NEED YOUR VOTES

A Sunshine Coast ghostwriter is one of several local women who have been named as finalists in the upcoming 2020 AusMumpreneur Awards.

W

hen schools were closed towards the end of term two and children moved to online learning from home, being a mumpreneur took on a whole new meaning.

With the office being taken over by school-issued laptops and textbooks, non-fiction ghostwriter Roxanne McCartyO’Kane found herself shifting roles to become the designated Zoom secretary.

Instead of deep-diving into content for client’s manuscripts, the former My Weekly Preview journalist was tasked with ensuring her two children, aged eight and six, were logging on to classes at the scheduled times.

Day-to-day activities required to run a business often took a backseat, or pushed working hours to the evenings when the kids were in bed. And she was not alone.

Being a mother running a business can be a juggle, but throw in the requirement to home school for five weeks and 2020 has proven to be one of the toughest yet for the region’s mumpreneurs.

Despite these challenging times, Ms McCarty-O’Kane is among six Sunshine Coast mumpreneurs to be named as

finalists for the 2020 AusMumpreneur Awards. She is a finalist in the Making a Difference in Business (People’s Choice) category after a track record where she doubled business turnover every year since starting her ghostwriting business in 2018, while fulfilling her passion for community connection as a journalist for My Weekly Preview.

“Juggling home schooling and running a business for five weeks earlier this year was something I never imagined I would have to do,” Ms McCarty-O’Kane says. “We

got through it and my kids and I are still friends, so I count that as a success.

“An interesting outcome of these times is people are reflecting now, more than ever, on the things that truly matter to them. The result is I have seen a huge increase in the number of people signing up to become authors.”

AusMumpreneur is the second national awards Ms McCarty-O’Kane has secured finalist status with this year. In March, she was announced as a finalist in the Australian Small Business Champion Awards in the Sole Operator category. The winners have not yet been named, with the gala awards event postponed until November 29.

In the meantime, Ms McCarty-O’Kane is celebrating the AusMumpreneur announcement with other Sunshine Coast finalists, including Kym Cousins, Rachel Pope and Kate Langford.

The local finalists in People’s Choice categories need the support of the community to secure a win.

The winners of the 2020 AusMumpreneur Awards will be announced at an online event at a date yet to be announced in September.

COMMUNITY THIEF

ORGAN DONATION

Recently I was allocated a space in the urban garden and am thrilled with the help and guidance of the full-time gardener, Simon. He is doing a magnificent job with everything grown organically, offers his expertise willingly, and has his plots full of produce, which is sold to help the garden continue and feed the homeless. A kind person donated a CCTV as not everyone respects that this is not a ‘help yourself’ place. Simon was just about ready to harvest a huge crop of beautiful tomatoes when some low-life raided them all. This person knew how to avoid the camera and stole some cabbages. It is extraordinary that someone could stoop so low to rob this place after the care and attention the vegetables have been given. They must have been selling them as no one person could use the amount of produce stolen.

So, if this person reads this letter, remember that there are people who need these vegetables. Keep away from the garden and let those less fortunate receive the help it generates. Joan Fitzgerald, Cotton Tree

I want to commend you for the article on organ donating, printed in My Weekly Preview on August 14, as we need more people to be prepared to donate their organs when they no longer need them in order to save another’s life. As your article stated, knowing that a loved one has saved one or more lives can very much help with the grieving process for the loss of a precious family member.

CLOSING THE BORDER Many are lamenting the closure of borders and the devastating effect of the pandemic on our economy. However, for those who think that COVID-19 is just another flu and likely to kill only one per cent of the population, think about these statistics from the USA. For each person who dies, 19 more require hospitalisation; 18 of those will have permanent heart damage; 10 will have permanent lung damage; three will have strokes, while two will have neurological

SHARK DETERRENTS damage with loss of cognitive function.

If COVID-19 is allowed to rip through our population, what will be the full impact from all those infected? How will the hospital system cope? What will that do for our economy? So a huge thank you to Dr Jeanette Young, our chief health officer and to Premier Palaszczuk for taking her advice, closing the borders and keeping Queenslanders safe. Short-term pain for long-term gain.

Robyn Deane, Bli Bli

In response to Hillary’s thoughts (21/8), a 2017 Commonwealth Government Report recommends phasing out shark meshing programs and increasing funding for the implementation of non-lethal shark mitigation and deterrent measures. The report looks at many alternatives but the obvious one for swimmers is a full beach net enclosure which is 100 per cent effective. For surfers, a personal electronic deterrent on their person or board is the way to go.

We were told the only cure would be a total liver transplant.

DOG POO DISPOSAL

BRUCE HIGHWAY WOES

Following on from the letter to Your Voice this week, Pick Up The Poo, I’m sure we would all like to see more dog owners that have done the hard part of picking up the poo in their black plastic bags, then dispose of those full bags in the appropriate bins. Do these dog owners that hang the poo-filled bag from a branch or simply leave it on the path or throw it in the bush think that someone comes along to collect them on their behalf? I know some owners don’t like to be seen carrying the bag of poo along with them so leave them to collect them on the return part of their walk from their temporary dropping point, but many dog owners don’t and people like me that pick up a black plastic bag of dog poo do get some odd looks when it’s clear we are walking along with a bag of dog poo yet we don’t have a dog with us! Do people think we are carrying our own poo in the bag? Kevin, Moffat Beach

We are one of the fastest growing areas in Australia and the majority of the people are living to the east of the Bruce Highway. The highway is already overloaded with traffic and cannot cope.

More high-rise will make it worse, parking wise, etc. Based on a recent survey, we have the second highest number of accidents on our roads, while the UK has the lowest.

You do not build a city without a direct up and down railway to the capital, i.e. Brisbane. Forty-three cities in England, 23 in Scotland and one in Wales are all linked directly or indirectly to London by rail and move six million people a day into London.

Rail is the fastest way to move people from A to B. Until we get this rail from the Sunshine Coast International Airport via Maroochydore City to Brisbane, we shall not solve the problem of our greatly overloaded Bruce Highway.

The survey referred to was taken in the USA, Canada, UK, 27 EU countries, Australia and some others thrown in – basically the Western world. Our planning is 50 years behind the times and our council should wake up. The International Airport will bring more traffic to the Bruce Highway.

CONGRATS I want to thank you and your magazine for ‘stepping up’ since the local Caloundra Weekly has disappeared. You are including some local news, sports, and interesting articles (I enjoy Fast Facts) too. Thanks for taking time to produce this little gem each week.

PROFILE

“IT’S ABOUT PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS” Meet Professor Helen Bartlett, the new vice-chancellor of the University of the Sunshine Coast. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

IMAGE: LOU O’BRIEN

T

he University of the Sunshine Coast’s new vice-chancellor is an internationally recognised scholar in gerontology who is credited with having established the Australasian Centre on Ageing as part of a previous tenure at the University of Queesnland.

Professor Helen Bartlett takes the reins from Professor Greg Hill, who held the role for the past 10 years.

Prof Bartlett was vice-chancellor and president of Federation University Australia and has enjoyed a distinguished career in academia and university management across Australia, the United Kingdom, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Prior to joining Federation University, she was pro vice-chancellor and chief executive of Monash University Malaysia and pro vice-chancellor and president of Monash University’s Gippsland campus.

As the chair of the Regional Universities Network, she has been a strong advocate for more government-funded university places in regional Australia and greater investment in research.

Originally from the northwest of England, Prof Bartlett recently moved to the Coast from regional Victoria. Based at the

Sippy Downs campus to lead the fastgrowing university, she’s on the lookout for the best place on the Coast to settle. An outdoor enthusiast, she enjoys cycling with her husband and is looking forward to exploring our region on two wheels.

“There are so many lovely areas you can

live in on the Sunshine Coast,” she says.

“We could choose the hinterland, or some of the areas close to the campus, or perhaps the Coast.

“I know the Sunshine Coast pretty well, having lived in Brisbane previously. I am pretty familiar with the geography and the growth is just amazing. When you look at the population projections for the Sunshine Coast, in fact all the locations where we have campuses are growing. From the Fraser Coast down to Moreton Bay, where our newest campus is, there are tremendous opportunities for our university to be a major partner in the growth of the economy.

Prof Bartlett’s vision for the university focuses on teamwork, consultation and community engagement.

“I really get such satisfaction from the engagement in regional communities and incredible satisfaction from developing graduates who can contribute to their regions, because around 70 per cent of students who study in the regions, we know will stay and work in the regions. It’s immensely satisfying to be part of boosting the social, cultural and economic development of the region so you can really

make a difference.

“I certainly think the university can strengthen its position as a major player in the growth of the region and that’s something I’m quite passionate about.

“Post-COVID, we have to really enhance our teaching and learning in new ways.

Now we’re deeply into a blended learning delivery, so we can provide both online and face-to-face teaching for our students.

“Our university has traditionally catered for a wide range of ages. We have a lot of mature age students and we’re going to have to increase our efforts in that respect.

As USC’s third vice-chancellor, Prof Bartlett brings her own leadership style to the university.

“At the end of the day, it’s about people and it’s about relationships. Teamwork for me is really critical to leadership and as a new leader coming into USC, I’m not going to be setting the vision and strategy on my own; it’s something we work on as a university. Yes, I have to drive it and show the leadership in that respect, but it’s something that comes through community consultation and bringing people along because everybody has a passion for their work and for the university.”

BUDERIM COTTAGE’S PIONEERING PAST

T

he Buderim Historical Society (BHS) was formed after Sybil Vise generously donated her land and her cottage, now known as ‘Pioneer Cottage’ to the Buderim War Memorial Community Centre (now the Buderim War Memorial Community Association or BWMCA).

The cottage was built by John Kerle Burnett, who moved to Buderim in 1876. In 1878 Mr Burnett and his wife Ann acquired 20 acres of land between Ballinger Road and the current site of the Buderim Tavern.

Needing accommodation for his growing family, he built a house there in 1882 with the help of carpenter Harry Board.

Today the house is Buderim’s own museum, and stands on a small block in the recently renamed Pioneer Crescent

(formerly Ballinger Crescent). It was very different in 1878 when the Burnetts bought 20 acres of forest land on this site, as there were fewer than 20 houses on Buderim and with only three or four in the central part of the town and no shops. In those days it was a simple four-roomed house with a central corridor and a wide verandah on all sides. It was built with local timber – some from Burnett’s own block – which was pit-sawn into planks on the site.

A current project of the BHS is to source photos of Buderim and its surrounds from the late 1800s to 1950s, or of people from this era. Buderim photographer Ross Eason has offered to collate and digitise the photos. Original or negatives of any photograph that is historically important would be gratefully accepted.

If you have photos you can loan or donate, contact Prue Cawley on 5445 1341 before August 31.

Membership of the society is available to anyone, and monthly history network meetings are held regularly. A visit to Buderim Pioneer Cottage is a must, where you will find the building full of amazing and intriguing memories of Buderim’s past.

The cottage is open from Monday to Saturday from 11am until 3pm. Entry is $5 for adults and $1 for children. For more information call 5450 1966 or email bhsinc@optusnet.com.au.

Valuing what matters most.

High tea with a top view

IMAGE: TAMARA WRIGLEY

The recently launched Tiffany’s High Tea in Maleny is an exquisite experience that is sure to prove as popular as the venue’s iconic weddings, writes Leigh Robshaw.

W

ith its reputation as one of Australia’s most outstanding wedding venues, Weddings at Tiffany’s in Maleny has done what many businesses have done to survive a downturn in businesses due to COVID-19 – they’ve pivoted.

For the first time in a decade, the stunning Maleny venue is open to the

public, offering superb high teas to match its superb view of the Glass House Mountains.

While the venue has over 200 weddings booked for 2021, this year has seen it sitting empty most weekends. Throughout the pandemic, the family-owned business has kept its 15 full-time and 40 casual staff members on. To stay viable until the wedding industry picks up again, owners Kelly and David Tilse have launched Tiffany’s High Tea, which they hope will become Queensland’s most iconic high tea for generations to come.

My Weekly Preview attended the recent launch and can confirm it is every bit as

exquisite as it looks. We sat on the wraparound verandah on a glorious sunny day and indulged in colourful miniature gelati, buttersoft ribbon sandwiches, an array of savoury delicacies, velvety cakes and feather-light scones with fresh jam and cream. We sipped Bernard Remy champagne and selected our tea from a menu of Tielka certified organic, Fairtrade teas in 12 exotic loose leaf blends.

Tiffany’s High Tea is served Saturdays and Sundays from 10am, with private group bookings available from Wednesday to Friday. Call to book on 5494 2448 or email info@weddingsattiffanys.com.au.

MY OPINION

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

WHY THIS DEVELOPMENT?

Sami Muirhead says a contest to take a selfie with the Big Shell has made her feel nostalgic for her childhood when life was simpler.

Division 9 councillor, Maria Suarez, says the Surf Ranch proposal for Coolum is out of council hands, but should not be allowed to go ahead.

N

ostalgia – it just ain’t what it used to be! I have been thinking a lot about my childhood in the ’70s, thanks to my job on the radio running a promotion to send in a selfie in front of the Big Shell at Tewantin. We are calling it a ‘shelfie’. See what we did there?

So many locals are sending selfies in.

Let’s be honest, friends – the shell is not exactly a towering statue. But there is something so lovely about its modest size.

It takes you back to days when life was more simple, before iPads and iPhones and watches that count your steps and beep at you 10 times a day.

Many locals have also sent photos of themselves as kids from the ’70s and ’80s in front of the curious conch. It has been battered a bit by time and looks a little worse for wear, but she still stands tall (ish) and proud as the entryway to a residential home in a leafy street in Tewantin.

The former tourist destination closed in recent years, but I remember as a kid popping in to the Big (ish) Shell while we were waiting to catch the ferry over to North Shore to climb on the rusty Cherry Venture shipwreck and play in the quicksand. We would eat white bread filled with bananas and peanut butter and drink cans of Kirks sarsaparilla and life was perfect. All of our parents had mullets and perms and they chain-smoked and drank

like fish and lathered themselves in coconut oil to really sizzle in the sun. I am pretty sure none of us had seat belts either, but I used to feel so safe and content. And we were all skinny despite the white bread and soft drink because we never ate much processed food.

Of course, back then The Big Pineapple was the king of the big icons. It was akin to Wonka Land from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and the pineapple parfaits were bigger than my head. The House Of Bottles was another place we would visit sometimes and The Big Cow was also pretty famous in these parts. And if you were lucky enough to travel interstate to see the Big Banana? Well only rich and sophisticated people ticked that bucket list item off their goals. The equivalent of a holiday to the Big Banana for today’s kids is probably going to Bali and having your hair braided and eating nasi goreng for breakfast.

But let’s not mention Bali or overseas travel, given today’s state of lockdowns and border closures and hand sanitising habits.

So if you are feeling nostalgic, head up to Tewantin and see the Big(ish) Shell while it still stands and if you have the time, drive up the highway to Gympie. There you can show the kids the last of the actual dine-in Pizza Huts where fast food is served as slow food in the cutest of booths. That will really blow their minds.

e’ve seen it before. When a site is unsuitable for development, another reason is found to try and make it happen. Consolidated Properties and World Surf League are determined to progress a proposal on flood prone land despite receiving objections from the Sunshine Coast Council, residents and community groups.

Council have consistently advised the developer and the state government that while a Surf Ranch would add a new tourism offer to the Sunshine Coast, the flood plain west of Coolum is not an appropriate site.

The area is not in the Urban Footprint as it is some of the lowest lying and most flood affected land on the Coast.

Consolidated Properties failed to develop the land as ‘Coolum Lakes’ back in 2006. It wasn’t appropriate then and it’s not appropriate now. The flood hazard risk of this area has increased over time and under future climate conditions, much of the area will likely be inundated.

It’s believed the Surf Ranch can’t turn a profit without residential development and this use is not consistent with the state planning policy or the South East Queensland Regional Plan. When many residents already struggle to insure their homes against flooding, why would anyone want to put more people at financial and

personal risk by supporting development in a very high-risk flood hazard area?

The Sunshine Coast has enough appropriately identified land to meet future population growth targets.

Consolidated Properties were given the opportunity to consider land at Beerwah East to build the Surf Ranch. So far, this offer has been refused.

It’s understood there are ongoing discussions between the state government and interested parties about a request to have a Priority Development Area (PDA)

“Development on the site would be a disaster…” declared for this area.

The land is not located in the Urban Footprint and while council have no authority in the decision, we have repeatedly advised the state government that this proposal is not suitable at that site.

Development on the site would be a disaster and building an environmental experience centre on the site is a quick and cheap way to attain environmental credentials. True environmental benefits take time and effort.

Robotic Knee Replacement Combining Experience with the Latest Technology in Joint Replacement Surgery

With over 20 years’ experience in joint replacement surgery, Dr Maclean is now able to provide the Sunshine Coast and Noosa Community with Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery.

During the surgery further information is collected providing feedback on soft tissue balance and knee motion. Use of the robot can then assist in dynamically fine tuning the procedure, if required.

A surgical plan is developed, combining the patient’s X-Ray derived 3D bone model with intraoperative assessment of natural knee motion. Robot assistance then ensures precision and accuracy when implementing this plan providing individualised, optimal placement of the prosthesis.

Dr Maclean is delighted to be able to offer this service, having been central to pioneering the introduction of this technology to the Sunshine Coast.

SCBWN PROMOTION

CELEBRATING OUR AMAZING BUSINESS WOMEN With the pandemic putting a stop to the annual Sunshine Business Women’s Network Awards gala celebration, the team decided to do things differently this year and dedicate the month of August to honouring past winners.

T

he Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network (SCBWN) is driven by a strong purpose; to empower and celebrate women to achieve in business. The annual awards certainly form a large part in delivering on that purpose – by recognising those excelling, trailblazing and making a difference not only in our community but across the globe.

While August has traditionally been the month of celebration, it was not possible for the awards to take place in the traditional SCBWN style in 2020.

However, the SCBWN did not want to lose the core purpose of the SCBWN Awards and found a way to still be able to recognise great achievements and inspire others to step up to their potential. This year, the SCBWN has dedicated the month of August to share the stories of inspiration of past award recipients in a digital and print format, looking at their fond memories and achievements since making their acceptance speeches.

The SCBWN president, awards alumni chair, events chair, marketing chair and coordinator worked together to contact past award-winners in all categories from the last 21 years, and invited them to participate in a virtual celebration and recognition. Supplying their current photos or taking the opportunity to have a new professional portrait by Empire Art Photography, the award-winners have answered questions to share tales of their personal and business growth to date.

“We hoped we would get at least 30 participants and were humbled that over 60 agreed to be involved,” says Min Swan,

SCBWN judging chair. “We feel this demonstrates the beautiful impact the SCBWN Awards have had on the lives of those that have participated over the past 21 years.”

“It is with joy that I read the stories being shared, the impact the awards have had on their lives and I hope this provides inspiration to others in an otherwise tough business climate. It is a truly special celebration of some amazing individuals and the Sunshine Coast as a whole,” says Ms Swan.

The SCBWN Awards have a long and proud history that the current SCBWN secretary and awards alumni chair, Michelle Hamer, has a great knowledge and fond memories of.

Current president of the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network, Roz White, is thrilled to be able to continue the celebration of outstanding women in our region.

“The 2020 SCBWN award showcase series featuring 21 years of outstanding businesswomen is an absolute highlight.

Capturing these stories to explore their individual ‘where are they now’ has been an inspiring journey. We are delighted to bring you the evolution of their success, their learnings, stories of transformation, innovation and professional development,” says Ms White.

“The network recognises that no one business person or group operates in isolation and in fact we all achieve more when we work “Since the inception of the awards in together and support one another. Not only do 1998, Sunshine Coast businesswomen we recognise this among our fellow members, have shone. Their brilliance in balancing but we open the door and make space at the their developing business careers, their table for others in our community – we invite personal needs and being part of a community shows they are all outstanding women and men to learn, celebrate and explore with us so that together we can grow businesswomen.

Celebrating an 18-year partnership with SCBWN

When Garland Waddington was approached to become a sponsor of the awards in 2002 they had no inkling they would still be involved 18 years later, as the sponsor of the major award.

Over the years, the Maroochydore-based firm have been closely involved in judging the

awards and have been constantly amazed and humbled by the skill base, strength and diversity of businesswomen, by the extraordinarily wide range of businesses in which they have been involved, and by their contributions to the wider community.

Director, Ken Waddington, has had the privilege of presenting the Outstanding Business Woman of the Year Award to some of the Sunshine Coast’s most inspiring women.

“The Awards have grown from humble beginnings to being recognised as among the pre-eminent awards showcasing the greatly expanded role of women in business on the Sunshine Coast, and the platform from which numerous Telstra businesswomen of the year have emerged,” Mr Waddington said.

“We initially supported the SCBWN Awards because most of our clients are business people, and we liked the idea of supporting up and coming business people in our community.

“However, over the years, our relationship with the Network has developed into much more. Our whole team enjoys the regular privilege of meeting dynamic women from across our region at networking functions, as well as meeting other business partners

and sponsors who support the Network, and enjoy attending and guest presenting at events – all focussed on nurturing, promoting and empowering members of the Network.”

Garland Waddington regularly invites winners to speak at events and numerous finalists and winners continue to stay in touch with the firm.

“We’ve always found the Network to be incredibly supportive of women in business, with a genuine focus on bringing out the best in people, widening their horizons and expanding their skills” Mr Waddington said.

“Not only have the awards assisted in recognising our local success stories, but they’ve also provided an opportunity to share and profile so many budding businesses within the Network and to the broader Sunshine Coast community,” Mr Waddington said.

Garland Waddington has provided legal solutions for more than 35 years.

“The ‘4 Ingredients’ I would use to describe Ken Waddington (my solicitor of 8 years); Kind, Compassionate, Knowledgeable, Trustworthy.

Garland Waddington are supporters of many community initiatives, I believe it important to deal with businesses of similar values.

I can highly recommend (and am thankful for) their ongoing support and services.”

On Monday, Mercury and Neptune confuse your business acumen, so get a second opinion before making a financial decision. On Wednesday (when Uranus links up with the sun), be innovative and proactive as you come up with creative solutions.

Energy and motivation levels will be low on Monday, so slow down and pace yourself. Under the influence of Wednesday’s full moon, it’s a productive week to resolve a relationship issue with your partner, business colleague or best friend.

Wednesday night’s full moon highlights physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, plus your humanitarian side. It’s time to nurture yourself (via a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine), connect with friends and help others.

Neptune, Mercury and the full moon shine a spotlight on how well you communicate with others (especially a child, teenager, lover or friend).

If you don’t really listen to what they are saying, you’ll get your wires crossed.

If you expect a work matter or domestic project to proceed at a cracking pace, you’ll be disappointed.

Everything will take longer than expected, as Neptune and Mercury muddle proceedings

Avoid being a gullible goat early in the week, when Neptune opposes Mercury and someone could try to pull the wool over your eyes. Stay alert! Aim to channel Wednesday’s full moon energy into education, relationships or community projects.

This week, Neptune, Mercury and the full moon scramble your financial antennae. Wednesday’s sun-Uranus trine ignites your imagination and activates your inner voice as you come up with an innovative new solution to a stubborn old problem.

This week, the planets confuse love and communication, so be careful you’re not viewing people through rose-coloured glasses. Creativity and insights are highlighted, but don’t get so carried away that you head into the realm of pure fantasy.

On trend: the statement splashback To create a striking focal point in your kitchen, choose a unique piece of stone for your splashback. Our tip to making this work? Go for sleek cabinetry and make sure your hardware and flooring is unfussy, so nothing competes with the splashback.

tip Want a white kitchen that is far from plain?

Take inspiration from this dreamy room. The splashback and benchtops are made from a quartz product that looks like marble, so it’s tougher than marble but retains the beautiful natural and unique look of stone. The grey cabinetry adds warmth but perfectly complements the gold tap and hardware, which add a touch of luxury to the room.

It’s not for everyone, but who could argue that this black kitchen isn’t striking? Black kitchens and bathrooms are a trend we see so often, we think it’s safe to say, it’s here to stay. Built around the Caesarstone benchtop, this kitchen is magnificently moody rather than gloomy thanks to the splashes of white, timber accents and the addition of some greenery.

To make black work in your kitchen, introduce texture with timber accents and hardware in earthy tones.

COVER STORY

What was old is new again Take a drive down a suburban street and chances are you’ll see at least one skip bin filled with building waste, and during a reno project, these bins fill up quickly. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Do your bit by recycling and upcycling in your next reno project.

R

educe, reuse, recycle – we all know we should do more of it, and if you’re about to embark on a renovation, there’s a good chance there will be opportunities to not just reduce and recycle, but also upcycle. Help the planet by reducing your waste, recycling older materials and items in your home, and upcycling either your own furniture and accessories, or someone else’s.

The decluttering movement that gripped the world a year or so ago (thanks Marie Kondo) means many of us have decided clutter is bad and unloved and seldom-used items must be thrown out, but upcycling requires us to reconsider this. Upcycling is simply repurposing or restoring old material that seems to have outlived its use, and giving it new life. It’s good for the planet, and good for your budget. And even the most inexperienced DIYer can take on and conquer an upcycling project.

COVER STORY

Perfect paint partners Ready to try some upcycling? Dulux has made it easy to unleash your creativity by adding textural effects to furniture and accessories with the Design Effects paint range.

Design Copper Effect can be applied in different ways to achieve a stunning coppery look, while Dulux’s stone effects mimic the natural look and texture of stone.

TIP DULUX DESIGN STONE EFFECT. IMAGE: DULUX AUSTRALIA

DULUX COPPER PATINA EFFECT AND COPPER EFFECT. IMAGE: DULUX AUSTRALIA. PHOTOGRAPHER: AMELIA STANWIX

The metallic effect paints create the look of glimmering metal and the chalk effect paints can be used to achieve a vintage distressed look with bright pastels.

Dulux Colour Expert Andrea LucenaOrr says one of the biggest home design trends she is seeing is the return to earthy tones and raw-look finishes in interiors.

“Natural and imperfect finishes, such as stone, concrete and an aged patina effect on rust and copper is ever popular,” she says. “As such, lush displays of indoor plants, which also lends itself to this trend, really pops when offset against planters, side tables and coffee tables in aged copper and natural stone finishes, particularly Dulux Design in Copper and Stone Effects.

“If you like a distressed, rustic and

imperfect look, but prefer gentle and liveable pastels, try upcycling larger items of furniture such as a wardrobes, buffets or bedside tables in Dulux Design Chalk Effect. For a touch of luxe, Dulux’s Metallic Effect comes in nine finishes, which allows you to reproduce the look of glimmering metal with minimal hassle and expense – perfect for side tables and bed frames through to decorative accessories, such as vessels and planters.”

COVER STORY is a lot you can do. And it starts during demolition. When removing that old kitchen or bathroom, take the time to separate materials that can be recycled, rather than dumping it all in the skip.

Look for businesses who will take your old taps and sinks, cabinets and doors and reuse or redistribute those materials.

“Up to 50 per cent of landfill is from construction and domestic renovations…”

It’s time to recycle and upcycle According to RMIT University, in 2017, the Australian construction industry generated 20.4 million tons of waste from construction and demolition. This isn’t just housing waste (that figure also includes road and rail maintenance and land excavation waste), however, it’s clear that any type of construction generates its fair share of rubbish. The stats show that

of this 20.4 million tons (or megatonnes) of waste, almost seven million tons went to landfill. The rest was recycled, reused or illegally dumped.

Up to 50 per cent of landfill is from construction and domestic renovations and as a nation we need to do better to deal with this waste.

As an individual and a renovator, there

If you are renovating your home and you want to do so by causing as little damage to the environment as possible, there are loads of things you can do to reuse, recycle and upcycle. An environmentally friendly building project is possible. And don’t worry, if the shabby chic look isn’t for you, you can do heaps of things to make sure your home looks as stylish at the end as if you’d used all new products. New building products are often filled with toxic chemicals and volatile organic compounds, so reusing is also

good for your health. Here are some ideas: • For a start, choose a builder who is open to the idea of using sustainable and recycled products. That way they can also help find the right products.

• Talk to your builder about using building products made from recycled materials.

Insulation is a good example of a product that is made from totally recycled resources – there is cellulose insulation made from recycled newspapers, and other insulation products made from recycled glass and plastic.

• If you’re using timber flooring and other timber in the home, the least you can do is ensure that your timber comes from sustainable resources, but you can go a step further by using reclaimed and recycled timber.

• Repair and repaint cabinetry, rather than buying new. Be sure to choose low-VOC paint.

• Buy second-hand furniture – and we’re not just talking tired old timber furniture and antiques. You’ll be surprised what some people are selling when you start looking – you might find someone who bought a lounge and it’s too big for their house, or they are moving or downsizing and getting rid of furniture that’s almost new. A bit of research can unearth some beauties and save you plenty of cash.

COVER STORY

Add colour to your world Upcycling project tips • When looking for materials to upcycle, some types of waste (such as furniture and doors, especially those made from timber) are easier to work with than others, but keep an open mind – an old bathtub could become a garden bed, a tin can be reborn as a bird feeder, or buckets could become water features. Or you could simply repaint furniture.

• For upcycling ideas, head to Pinterest and watch videos on YouTube. Someone else has done all the work coming up with creative ideas and there’s nothing wrong with borrowing them. You’ll be surprised what people have made out of seemingly useless items.

• As a new upcycler, start with small, manageable projects until you gain more

myweeklypreview.com.au

confidence. Sanding, waxing, polishing and painting require no experience or special tools.

• If you’re handy with a drill and hammer, timber pallets make great vertical planters, coffee tables and chairs.

• Got ugly vases? Spray-paint them in gold or metallic shades and give them new life.

• Turn a wooden box on its side, add timber legs and you’ve got yourself a side table.

• A kitchen cabinet can be repainted and turned into a storage chest.

• To create continuity in the home, choose a colour scheme for your upcycled pieces and stick to it – that way everything will tie together and you’ll avoid that mismatched shabby chic look.

STYLE

CONFIDENT YELLOW CAMEL Let’s face it, brown is boring, but natural tones are beautiful in the home, which is why we love this camel-coloured leather couch. It introduces warmth and interest to this mono room without overdoing it.

GORGEOUS GREEN There’s no colour more calming than green, and we love this one, called Pastel Pine, from the Haymes Paint Calibrate range.

Yellow is a happy colour, but it is so bright that it can be a bit intimidating. Add sunny yellow in your soft furnishings such as cushions, throws and bedding. That way you can move it around or put it away for a season or two if it gets a bit much. We like this Habitat Topiary cushion cover from Pillow Talk.

HAPPY hues Many homeowners are afraid of colour, fearing that it will overpower a space. But colour doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and spring is a good time to add it into your home. So shake off the winter blues and introduce some uplifting yet understated spring hues into your home.

BLUSH PINK Like sky blue, blush pink is no longer just for babies.

This pretty, uplifting colour can sit confidently in the most sophisticated of abodes. We love this Home Republic Copenhagen Rose Velvet Chair from Adairs.

SKY BLUE No longer just the domain of the baby’s room, sky blue makes a cheerful statement in any room of the home – introduce as a feature wall, in furnishings or even in tiles – how cute would these tiles look on the kitchen splashback?

Choosing your pool fencing

Image: Protector Aluminium

With spring almost upon us and warmer weather on the horizon, it’s a great time to get your backyard and pool area summer-ready.

Your pool fence and hardware need not be complex decisions. With the DIY revolution, the accessibility of DIY pool fencing products at your local Bunnings Warehouse, creating your own rejuvenated pool area of your dreams, has never been easier.

Whether you choose aluminium fencing, which is available in a range of colours and profiles to suit the aesthetics of your backyard, or premium glass pool fencing, both boast key benefits to suit your design desires and budgets.

Aluminium is durable and long lasting, and won’t rust or rot. Protector Aluminium’s Fencing You Can Trust for Life range, is the safest on the market, DIY, and comes with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty plus 10-year powder-coating warranty. For maximum safety, there is a wide range of hardware on the market to suit your gates but it’s the G8Safe TriLatch which is arguably the safest as it incorporates a three-way Push, Hold and Lift

action, not dissimilar to the method used on your kids’ medicine bottles.

This award-winning latch has also a simple DIY installation.

If you are wanting to seamlessly join your backyard with views or to create more open space for a smaller pool area, glass pool fencing is the way to go. With the choice of having frameless or semi-frameless options, your entire space can be bought to life, creating uninterrupted views for your pool, yard and property. Both choices can be accessorised with handrails and hardware specifically made for glass pool fencing. The Architects Choice is a leader in glass fencing, conforms to all state safety compliance, and is a DIY system purchased also at Bunnings.

So now there is no excuse to not create that perfect summer sanctuary.

tip The Architects Choice is a leader in glass fencing, conforms to all state safety compliance, and is an affordable DIY option you can buy at Bunnings.

ALL OF THE CONSTRUCTION (AND LANDSCAPING!) CAN BE DONE AT ONCE Having a major construction project going is already disruptive. It’s noisy and messy and there are builders and materials everywhere at any given time. To reduce the disruption done to your home, it makes sense to add a pool to your plans if you are considering adding one anyway in the next few years. That way, not only will it be incorporated into the design, but you also won’t have to landscape once and then re-landscape again in a few years when you do install a pool.

IT GIVES YOU MORE CHOICE IN TERMS OF DESIGN All properties have a finite amount of space to work with, but when a homeowner is starting with a blank slate, they can prioritise their property layout from the beginning, meaning they can dedicate more space to the pool and surrounding area than they would normally be able to if there was an existing building in place. That means you have more choice in the pool size, type and shape, and, because there is not existing landscaping to work around either, you can really craft the pool of your dreams in a way that’s rarely possible when installing it into an existing build.

Image: Narellan Pools

Grand plans Incorporating a pool into a new house build or a renovation is a smart idea. Narellan Pools explains why.

If you are at the beginning stages of building your new home or embarking on a large renovation project, and you are considering getting a pool, now is definitely the time to be incorporating it into your house plans. Because a swimming pool can be a sizeable installation (and can be a large investment), it makes sense to incorporate it into your plans at the early stage. The team at Narellan Pools explains why:

YOU SAVE MONEY While building a new home costs a lot of money, homeowners will end up saving in the long run in many ways. For example, your landscaping will have to be done only once. If your site will be difficult to access once the home is built, you get a unique window of time to get your pool in place without having to resort to cranes or other creative solutions. You can also take advantage of having professionals, like electricians, already on site that can plan and execute on surrounding electrical work accordingly.

tip If you’re having a pool installed or you’ve just had a pool build completed, make sure you call your insurer and update your policy so that your new pool is included in your building insurance.

Four pool trends • Infinity-edge pools: more and more residential pools feature an infinity edge, and these look particularly striking on sites with a view.

• Pools in small sites: as house blocks shrink, homeowners are finding innovative ways to incorporate a decent-sized pool in a limited yard, and pool designers are getting clever with space-maximising designs.

• Natural pools: the number of homeowners seeking out mineral water pools is increasing. These pools use naturally occurring minerals such as magnesium, which is gentler on skin that salt or chlorine.

• Getting smaller: plunge pools are a less expensive way to get a pool in the backyard, while long, thin lap pools make the most of that otherwise unused space up the side of the house, which is why pool builders are seeing an increase in popularity of these pools.

YOU HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH POSITIONING THE POOL Starting with a blank canvas allows you to really play with the positioning of the pool itself. You can also build your home to reflect the fact that a pool will be a long-term focal point. Taking a pool into consideration may affect how you build out access points (incorporating doors and patios) and views (pool-facing windows) into the architectural design of the house.

You’ll also be able to reflect on how you use the pool and that may too affect the pool positioning. For example, if you want to use areas around the pool for alfresco dinner parties, positioning the pool with easy access to the new home’s kitchen may be a smart move.

POOLS WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CONCRETE SWIMMING POOLS? Due to the structure and enduring strength of an engineered concrete swimming pool, they offer unlimited flexibility with design and placement.

This strength also means that the pool will withstand generations of fun and play. Concrete swimming pools allow you almost total design freedom. Pool size, depth, shape and in most cases location are limited only by your imagination. The inherent strength of reinforced concrete pools means boundary walls, water walls, water features and fencing can be constructed directly on top of the shell.

Plus with proper planning, it can even form part of the footing for the house wall. A well-designed pool is an integral asset to the property and an absolute pleasure for the end user.

Image: Poolfab

Take the plunge The decision to install a pool in your existing property or as part of a renovation or new build, is a big one. So Sean Lynch from Poolfab Pool + Landscape Creations on the Sunshine Coast is here to answer some of the most common concrete pool questions.

Add value, comfort & style with an Eclipse opening/closing or insulated patio

HOW DO I MAKE MY POOL EASY TO LOOK AFTER? Firstly design a pool with a decent distribution of water, then include the following: 1. A pump with a decent flow rate.

Waterco Pumps are an excellent choice as they are very quiet and energy efficient due to the variable speed function.

2. Oversize the filter and upgrade to a glass medium to give efficient filtering of the water and reduced backwash.

3. Install an automatic chemical dosing

system or a fresh water system to reduce the operating costs, the electricity requirements and the chemical use around the home.

4. Install an automatic cleaning device to clean the bottom of the pool and increase the circulation of the pool water.

5. Arrange for a monthly service call to check all of the equipment and balance the pool water.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO OPERATE A SWIMMING POOL? The running of the filter pump is the main cost. A 750-watt pump will cost approximately 10 cents an hour to run. It will need to run for around six to eight hours per day. The salt eater chlorinator requires a constant level of salt. Most pools need approximately six bags of salt per year at approximately $10 per bag.

You should check the total balance of the water monthly. Some stabiliser, bi-carb and calcium hardness may need to be added. So the average pool should cost about $450 a year to operate.

I HAVE A SMALL BLOCK – CAN I HAVE A CONCRETE POOL? There are very few situations that would inhibit the construction of a concrete swimming pool. With thoughtful design, professional planning and the correct engineering, concrete pools can be built right up to the property boundary.

finish line What’s around your pool is just as important as the pool itself – finish off the backyard with the right furniture and accessories.

Lounging by the pool can be thirsty work. Which is why we love the Sandy Outdoor Bar Cart from Domayne. It’s perfect for summer drinks and nibbles.

THE COVER UP Rubbish bins, air-conditioning units, pool pumps, water tanks, storage boxes and other backyard essentials can create eyesores in an otherwise beautiful garden. Which is why we are loving the range of decorative screens you can now get your hands on to cover up unsightly spots in the yard. There are loads of screening products now available, so you’ll be able to find something that will complement your home and existing fences and screenings. Decorative screens can also be used to create privacy from the neighbours and for sectioning areas of the yard.

FOR STYLE and Security Choose Colorbond® Fencing

Enjoy fun in the sun while staying sun safe with this cantilevered umbrella from, Harvey Norman.

It’s rust-resistant and durable and will last for years. It’s adjustable too, so you can move it around and adjust the tilt.

Put your hand up if you bought an inflatable flamingo last year. And keep it up if the flamingo didn’t survive the whole summer. Pool toys make splashing in the pool a lot more fun for adults and kids, but they aren’t great for the environment. Every year we flock to the shops to buy inexpensive pool floats, toys and pool noodles (they make great Christmas presents), but then they get holes in them or they start to perish and in the bin they go, adding more plastic to landfill.

Do your bit by investing in high-quality floats and toys that are more likely to last, and look after them by putting them away at night, keeping them clean, and keeping them out of the harsh sun.

THE HOMEBUILDER GRANT HELPS QUEENSLANDERS STEP INTO THEIR DREAM HOME Young Sunshine Coast locals are taking advantage of the HomeBuilder initiative with new builds on the rise. WORDS: Layne Whitburn.

B

uilding a dream home wasn’t something 20-year-old USC student Tara Emery considered embarking on in the near future, especially during the peak of a global pandemic.

However, with the Federal Government’s HomeBuilder initiative officially open for Queenslanders to apply, Miss Emery and her partner Ryan McCombe have decided to take the plunge.

Working two jobs and studying a Bachelor of Primary Education, Miss Emery says she and Mr McCombe have considered buying a place for almost a year.

The HomeBuilder grant however sparked the idea of building their first home instead.

“When we found out about the builders grant we thought it was a good opportunity for us to start our life and basically dive head first into it,” Miss Emery says.

The HomeBuilders grant provides eligible owner-occupiers (including first homebuyers) a $25,000 boost to build a new home or substantially renovate an existing home.

This is a time-limited grant with contracts signed between June 4, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Construction must commence within three months of the contract date.

The HomeBuilder initiative is designed to help stimulate the residential building industry recover from the COVID-19 crisis.

AVID Property Group (AVID) released new blocks of land ahead of schedule at its Harmony community in Palmview in

response to the increase of enquiries.

Brendan Brial of SMS Finance says he has also seen a rush of mortgage enquiries thanks to the grant.

“It has been a particularly busy few months despite the uncertainty generated within the economy due to COVID-19, but on the back of the announcement of HomeBuilder we have seen a significant increase in the level of enquiry,” he says.

“Most of our enquiries have been around first homebuyers who have been working towards entering the home loan market but looking to fast track that on the back of $15,000 from the state government under the First Home Owners Grant and $25,000 from the federal government under HomeBuilder. That’s $40,000 and can make a huge difference.”

HomeBuilder complements the Queensland First Home Owners’ grant, current stamp duty concessions, as well as the Commonwealth’s First Home Loan Deposit Scheme and First Home Super Saver Scheme.

Mr Brial says one problem with the

regulations under HomeBuilder are that banks currently don’t allow borrowers to include the $25,000 as part of their deposit. “It’s considered a bonus for those who can afford to proceed without it.”

“The key take away is that banks are still lending, interest rates are very low and the property market on the Sunshine Coast is still quite strong.”

Local couple, Stevie-Lee Horn and Laree Duncome, have been saving for a house deposit for three years. They are now taking advantage of the HomeBuilder initiative with their dream home set to go up at Bli Bli Parklands.

Miss Horn says they were originally looking into buying an established home, but since hearing about the grant are excited to start the building process.

“Having the grant has been extremely beneficial,” Miss Horn says. “We were already going in with quite a big deposit so having that extra $40,000 has really pumped us up to being able to afford the dream home we have always dreamt of having.”

ith three lots going under contract last week, there are now just four golf course frontage lots remaining for buyers to take advantage of a $15,000 landscaping package within the gated Vantage Coolum estate.

Developed by Sekisui House, Vantage Coolum is an exclusive gated community with golf course views and a stunning outlook to Mount Coolum while the pristine Yaroomba and Coolum beaches as well as cafes, restaurants and shops are just a short drive away.

Sekisui House project director Evan Aldridge says the remaining seven lots range in size from 751sqm to 972sqm and are priced from $489,000.

“Buyers have been quick to act because vacant lots which are ready to build on around Coolum and Yaroomba are very difficult to find. Especially those that are large and level with a beautiful golf course aspect as the remaining lots we currently have available, so it’s a great opportunity for buyers to design and build their dream home in an exclusive and secure estate.

“We have teamed up with experienced local builders to create stunning house and land packages to help inspire purchasers to build a home which reflects their lifestyle while also working in with the community’s covenant.

“With only four lots remaining, interest will continue to be strong and I

82.indd 1

am sure the $15,000 landscaping package will be a great incentive for many buyers looking to add that unique touch to the exterior of their home,” Mr Aldridge says.

Place Projects director, Bruce Goddard says interest in the Sunshine Coast was at an all-time high due to a number of major infrastructure projects either already completed or currently underway as well as the region’s enviable lifestyle and affordability compared to major capital cities.

“To date, local Sunshine Coast buyers have recognised the unique estate and purchased, however we are certainly seeing significant enquiry from Brisbane as well as expat Queenslanders who have relocated to Melbourne, Sydney or even overseas as they reassess their lives amongst the turmoil caused by COVID-19.

“Many are starting to realise they don’t need to live in a big city away from family and friends because they can work from home and commute when required.

There’s also significantly more highpaying jobs available as a result of the new hospital, the airport runway expansion and the new businesses who will be located in the Maroochydore CBD,” Mr Goddard says.

Place Advisory March 2020 Northern Beaches research reveals the vacant land market has continued its general upward trend, which began six years ago in 2013 despite some fluctuation due to land offerings in different price brackets.

Anthony Seibold hangs on by a thread

AAP

B

Anthony Seibold

risbane veteran Darius Boyd expects Anthony Seibold back at training on Wednesday despite a report the NRL club is preparing to axe the embattled head coach.

Seibold has spent the past 14 days away from the team after leaving the club’s quarantine bubble to deal with a personal family matter in Sydney.

On Monday the 45-year-old underwent a COVID-19 test and if that comes back negative, he’ll be free to return to the club’s inner sanctum from Tuesday onwards.

A News Corp Australia report claims the Broncos have offered Seibold a $1-million termination agreement to walk away from the role immediately following Brisbane’s horror 2020 season.

As far as fullback Boyd is concerned though, Seibold remains the head coach and will be leading the team at their next

training session.

“We’re expecting him back on Wednesday and we’ve got a game against the Roosters on Friday night so we need to prepare well and expect Seibs back there,” Mr Boyd says.

Whether it happens now or at the end of the season, Mr Seibold’s time at Red Hill appears to be up less than two years into a five-year deal.

Under the former South Sydney coach’s tutelage, the Broncos have slipped to second-last on the NRL ladder and are at serious risk of collecting the wooden spoon for the first time in the club’s history.

A run of 12 defeats from their past 13 matches has included frightful hidings by Parramatta, Wests Tigers and this Friday’s opponents the Sydney Roosters.

Mr Boyd, who is set to retire at the end of the year, says he’s hopeful the club will

resolve Mr Seibold’s future soon for the sake of the man himself, the club and the playing group.

“It’d be ideal to get some clarity one way or the other but at the end of the day that comes down to the head honchos at the club,” Mr Boyd says.

“They have to decide what they think is best going forward.”

Former player Kevin Walters, who was overlooked by the Broncos board in favour of Mr Seibold, has been tipped as a replacement should the Broncos coach get the sack.

The six-time premiership winner says he hasn’t been in contact with the club about the position but he’d be keen to help out if possible.

Noosa’s Lilliana Bowrey wins fifth consecutive title Noosa’s gnarly grommet Lilliana Bowrey has surfed her way to a fifth consecutive title in the Woolworths Queensland State Junior Surfing Championships at Kawana Beach.

Lilliana picked up where she left off, having already taken top spot in the first event of the championships last month at Coolum Beach.

The waves were lacking on the day with just one-to-two-foot of swell accompanied by gusty winds, but the young athlete was up to the task.

It was Lilliana’s last showing in the U16s division, one she has dominated since just 12 years old.

“I’m super happy with the result today, it feels good to get five in a row,” Lilliana said after the Sunshine Coast contest.

“The conditions were a bit tough, but it’s good training if there are ever events with small waves in the future.”

Meanwhile, Noosa’s Amarnie Barber surfed her way to third place in the series.

Amarnie’s two wave total for the final was just 7.2 but that was enough to win by 1.5 points proving just how difficult conditions where.

In addition to raising the winning trophy, Lilliana was also awarded the

Fresh Wave Award for best and fairest.

Coolum’s Ellia Smith was dominant in the U18 final surf-off for her second title in a row, out-scoring skillful Noosa rival Giorgia Lorentson and the fourthplaced Tayla Green of Buddina in the series standings.

Her combined score was 15.33 points to win by 6.8.

“I’m stoked to get back-to-back wins,”Ellia says.

“That makes two U18 state titles in a row.

“I’m looking forward to the Aussie titles later in the year for sure.”

Sunshine Beach’s Tim Bain had to

settle for the two-round series runner-up title in the U16 behind Currumbin’s Matt Boyle.

Braxon Holmstrom of Buddina manage to snag fourth place overall with his efforts.

In the U18 boys Luke Brumby of Alexandra Headland took second place behind Jackson Graham of Palm Beach.

IRONMAN gets the go-ahead Eumundi rugby returns It has been a long time coming, but after more than 100 years the Eumundi township once again has a senior rugby union team taking part in the official South East competition.

The town have not entered a team into the competition since 1919 and players are excited to represent the town where they live.

At the start of 2020 numbers were low, with only about eight players turning up for weekly training.

This number had grown to about 14 before the first match in March.

Unfortunately all competition was put on hold from mid-March till early August due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Now the team has over 20 committed players turning up to train twice a week at the Eumundi Showgrounds base and play on Saturday afternoons at venues from Gympie in the north to Wynnum in the south.

Over the past couple of weeks the ever improving team has played matches against Caboolture Snakes, University Barbarians and Maroochydore Swans.

A COVID Safe Plan has been approved and a date set for the IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast event now ready to take place on Sunday, September 13 at Mooloolaba Beach after it was postponed earlier in the year.

The event organisers have worked in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Council, Triathlon Australia, Triathlon Queensland, and several Queensland Government departments in order to develop and implement their COVID Safe-Event Plan The Sunshine Coast will be the first location in Oceania to host this kind of event since the beginning of the pandemic, so managing risks associated with transmission of Corona virus are paramount to organisers.

The plan will focus on tracing, education, enhanced hygiene, density reduction, touchpoint minimisation, athlete self-reliance and screening.

Dave Beeche, senior vice president and managing director of the IRONMAN Group Oceania, thanked the relevant authorities for their collaboration on the plan.

“A significant amount of work has been put in to developing a plan that leaves no stone unturned and ensures we can deliver a great event for all participants while also looking after the health of the community,” Mr Beeche says.

“I’d like to thank the numerous stakeholders we worked with in developing the plan, their contribution has meant we’ve been able to get to the position we’re in today.

“IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast is a fantastic event that consistently ranks highly in IRONMAN’s Athlete Choice Awards and we’re thrilled that we’re in a position to have athletes take to the water and roads of the Sunshine Coast this September.

“Our athletes are telling us they want to get out there and race again, and our team are equally excited that this is now a realistic possibility.”

Sunshine Coast Council economic development councillor Jason O’Pray says the Sunshine Coast is ready at the moment to support this event as planned, now that

it has the go ahead from Queensland Health.

“The opportunities that the event will provide for the local economy is critical for local event suppliers who are trying to stay afloat or bounce back, and I encourage people to visit Mooloolaba over the IRONMAN weekend for some spectacular beach action, while reiterating the current messages to anyone moving around our region for events, sport or social activity, please if you are unwell, stay home,” Cr O’Pray says.

Note: Subject to Queensland Health changing current COVID restrictions.

World War II veteran’s anniversary honour

oolum-Peregian’s last surviving World War II veteran has been recognised in a commemorative service to mark the 75th anniversary of

Dan MP PUR PURDIE Member for Ninderry

Victory in the Pacific (VP) Day. Francis ‘Frank’ McGreevy lied about his age to enlist in the army in 1942 and was wounded in battle in Papua New Guinea in 1945.

The 96-year-old is an active member of the sub-branch and still lives in his own home, and Coolum-Pereigan RSL sub-branch president Gavin Powell says everyone loves him.

“He’s here every Friday night for a meal and a beer,” Mr Powell says. “He’s a great guy and character, everyone loves Frank.”

Mr Powell says Mr McGreevy was the driving force behind his decision to have the commemorative plaque erected on the RSL cenotaph at the CoolumPeregian club.

Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien unveiled the plaque in a service on August 15 honouring all those who served, and presented Mr McGreevy with a commemorative medallion and certificate.

“Frank is one of those quintessential Australian legends,” Mr O’Brien says.

“He signed up to the war fibbing about his age, so he was able to serve and he served Australia in Dutch New Guinea and Bougainville.”

Mr O’Brien has thanked servicemen and women, past and present, and those who died for their country. “So many didn’t come home; they paid that ultimate sacrifice.

“Our way of life was fought for, the freedoms we enjoy were fought for.”

Fast facts Francis John McGreevy was born in Toogoolawa on September 16, 1923.

He enlisted in the Australian Army at Rockhampton on May 14, 1942.

His first stop was the Brisbane Exhibition Ground in Brisbane before transferring to 29 Infantry Training Battalion in Goondiwindi.

He transferred to 19th Australian Imperial Force Field Ambulance on April 16, 1943.

Served at Merauke in Dutch New Guinea and Bougainville.

Mr McGreevy was wounded in action by shrapnel on February 6, 1945 and transferred to Rabaul for medical treatment and recovery before returning to his unit.

Mr McGreevy left Rabaul on September 24, 1945 to return to Cairns.

He was discharged from the Australian Army on January 26, 1946 and has lived in Coolum area ever since.

The Peregian community is coming together to remember last year’s fires

A year after Peregian fires WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

N

ext month will mark one year since a fierce firestorm swept through Peregian Beach, threatening lives, homes and

livelihoods.

On September 9, 2019, a fire in Peregian Springs quickly grew, jumping the Sunshine Motorway and racing

towards the coast. Thousands were evacuated as volunteers and emergency services risked their lives to save others.

One home was destroyed.

To commemorate the anniversary, the Peregian Family & Friends resident’s association is organising a family fun day on Saturday, September 5.

The day will recognise and thank professional and volunteer firefighters who came together to save the local community.

Event spokesperson Leigh McCready says the tireless work of the local firefighters will long be remembered.

“The fires really shook our Peregian community and we still talk about it to our children, so they are all aware of the role that these men and women played to protect us all,” she says.

“While it was frightening, it also galvanised our local community as it made us all more aware of the important work of our local rural fire service.

“Many locals have since become volunteers.”

The family fun day will be held in Peregian Park behind the Peregian Surf Club from midday to 3pm and includes activities for the children, including a jumping castle, face painting, popcorn and snow cones along with busking and two fire trucks.

There will also be sign-on information for both volunteer fire fighting and local lifesaving as the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club looks to increase its nipper and adult participation rates into the future.

For more information visit Peregian Family & Friends on Facebook.

School of Rock is in Eumundi School of Rock is set to electrify the stage with its drive-in concert this Saturday, August 29.

The evening will be jam-packed with performances from the school’s 23 young rockers from the class of 2020, plus the 2019 show band and the Imperial Superband.

Students will also be joined by the Mega Teacher band, starring five-time ARIA Award-winning local songstress Katie Noonan with songsmith Jack Carty.

Enjoy the talent of these young musicians from the comfort of your own car at the Eumundi Showgrounds.

Food and drink will be available to purchase with money to go directly back to the school.

Great day for all in Coolum

Course Cup winner Koa Wood from Noosa Springs

I

t was a “cracker” of a day at Mount Coolum Golf Club recently for the prestigious Rod Pampling/Katherine Kirk Classic, district boys and girls junior open championships and Mount Coolum Classic.

Gold Coast siblings Manato and Haruhi Nakatani re-wrote the record

books by becoming the first siblings to win with rounds of 68 (-4) and 72 respectively.

The events were combined due to COVID-19 and postponed from their July 26 date when rain flooded the course.

The Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Golf Tour president Graeme Miller congratulated the winners.

“Conditions couldn’t have been better, and we believe that everyone made the most of their good fortune.

“Due to the Mount Coolum and Pampling/Kirk event being joined together due to COVID-19 and that these championships were to be played on the same course, it was decided by The Invincibles Committee that there would be two sets of awards for their Invincibles IGA Masters and Course Cup and Gold Cup of Cups Championship qualifiers.”

The Invincibles IGA Sunshine Coast Junior Masters Championships will be hosted by Peregian Golf Course, Twin Waters, Pelican Waters and Noosa Springs from September 27 to 30.

The Course Cup winners, including Noosa Springs’ Koa Wood, will head to Noosa Springs on November 29.

Cr Maria Suarez Division 9 (Bli Bli, Coolum Beach, Doonan, Marcoola, Maroochy River, Mount Coolum, Pacific Paradise, Peregian Beach, Peregian Springs, Valdora, Verrierdale, Weyba Downs, Yandina Creek) Have you heard about the Yandina Creek Wetland in our Blue Heart on the Maroochy River?

It has been transformed into a birdwatcher’s delight, with Unitywater completing a new trail walk and birdviewing hide back in March. Last week I attended the official opening, which was originally postponed due to COVID. Our Blue Heart initiative is a long-term partnership project between council, Unitywater and the Queensland government. It will bring about many benefits for our community including

protecting the most critical areas of the Maroochy River floodplain; establishing a regionally significant complex of wetland and floodplain ecosystems; helping to manage water quality in our much loved Maroochy River, where people fish, swim and enjoy other water activities; helping to manage current and future impacts of coastal hazards, such as tidal inundation; establishing new uses for existing rural lands, including economic opportunities for landowners; and facilitating ecotourism opportunities.

Unitywater opened the wetlands in 2017 and has been working to return this former cane farm land back into a natural wetland. The wetland removes nutrients and sediments from the river, which helps improve long-term river health.

Thanks to the completion of the 1.7-kilometre walking trail and bird hide, our community can begin to enjoy the Blue Heart of the region. Our Blue Heart and the Yandina Wetlands demonstrate there are still plenty of opportunities for land on a floodplain if we are innovative in our thinking and approach.

You can access the trail walk at 362-368 River Road, Yandina.

The best young surfers on the Coast were on display as they contested for a spot at the state championships.

St Andrew’s had 11 surfers competing, with Summer, Dippy and Lucy securing their place in the regional team.

Tim and Will took out the Mr Shield teams event in the junior boys division and will now represent the college at the Queensland State Surfing Titles.

“Our surfers have been training extremely hard in their sessions before school, so this event was a great opportunity for them to be able to display their talents under pressure in a competitive environment,” teacher Alex Austin says.

“There is always an element of luck with the ocean involved but we had high expectations for a number of our surfers to be successful and qualify for the regional team.

“This is a grassroots, crowd-sourced and local initiative to offer immediate help to those that may otherwise go hungry – or those that are just doing it tough in that moment,” a statement from the not-forprofit organisation says. “The pantry operates on a ‘give what you can – take what you need’ basis and is available with 24-hour access on the service road in front of the Sunshine Castle.”

Yandina Street Fair goes online The Yandina Street Fair will not go ahead this year after organisers cancelled the event due to public health concerns.

This year the Yandina township is celebrating 150 years.

“The volunteer committee co-ordinating celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Yandina have reluctantly decided not to hold the Yandina Street Fair this year,” a statement from Yandina 150 says.

Instead the organisation will take celebrations online through the website,

yandina150.org and Facebook page.

“Throughout September we will feature stories, pictures, history and character profiles to celebrate our wonderful community.”

Sometimes referred to as ‘the original workers town’ of the hinterland, Yandina is also the oldest surveyed town in the Maroochy District.

Yandina was officially gazetted in September 1870 as a logging town, then a farming district before becoming what it is today.

Pandemic sparks a rethink of entire education system of education.

They include the purpose of schooling, the structure of the Australian Curriculum, student assessment, digital literacy and the traditional roles of teachers and students.

“How students learn, access information and socialise have changed significantly,” ISQ executive director David Robertson says.

“The rapid move to home learning during the pandemic has also raised

T

his year’s health pandemic is seeing the world adjusting to a new normal and the education sector is no different as it works to navigate alternative approaches to learning and classroom life.

Last month, Independent Schools

Queensland (ISQ) released a paper outlining how the pandemic is likely to cause a catalyst for reform for education.

With the last comprehensive state government-led school education reform in 2002, ISQ is hoping the pandemic will be a turning point to rethink six key areas

questions about where and how learning happens, which is just as much a question for legislators as it is for educators.”

In response to feedback from parents, students and staff during the online learning period, Caloundra City Private School is working on a strategic plan to refocus priorities.

Working alongside strategic planner Dr Jamie Dorrington, Caloundra City Private School principal Sherrie Cuthbert says the

consultation process is extensive as it works to reflect current community values.

“The short-term plan aims to address top priorities for current families, including shifting to a larger focus on wellbeing, Ms Cuthbert says.

“CCPS is re-designing its curriculum and placing greater significance on building transferrable skills for life – that will mean our students are adaptable in an increasingly changing world of work.

“Our junior school curriculum is being updated and our senior school curriculum is in the process of a rewrite.”

These transferrable skills include developing global perspective, futures orientation, teamwork skills, developing a learning network beyond the classroom, applying interdisciplinary knowledge and skills, problem solving skills, strong literacy and numeracy skills, a focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths), communication skills and self-mastery through a focus on wellbeing.

“What we have learnt from the pandemic is that schools can pivot, and very quickly if needed.

“We have identified these changes were imperative to make in the shortterm and we have already taken steps to start implementing actions from our strategic plan.”

Head south, urge Glass House businesses WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

T

he Glass House community is encouraging Sunshine Coast residents to explore the southern hinterland region, supporting local businesses and experiencing everything on offer.

Owner of Vianta Espresso and Wine Bar in Beerwah, Steve Moon, believes small business is the glue keeping community alive during the hardships of 2020.

“Some days we have been really busy and other days its like ‘oh wow’, so it’s bit like an elastic band,” he says.

“Now there’s a normality hitting in and not everyone has a lot of money but what is needed is community. Small business and local business are part of that, keeping community alive.”

While visitors often enjoy the views and mountain hikes, they are being encouraged to venture a little further into the towns.

It comes as Glasshouse Chamber of Commerce joins forces with Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace’s #SupportSunshineCoast campaign.

Vianta Espresso and Wine Bar owner Steve Moon with Jenny Broderick from Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce “The Sunshine Coast hinterland is relying on all of us to help get everyone through to the other side of this COVID crisis, but the good news is, helping could not be more fun,” Mr Wallace says.

“To play your part, all you need to do is head up here to Glass House Mountains or Beerwah, Landsborough or Maleny, come and enjoy the tranquillity of our natural environment. While you are here, grab lunch in a local cafe, dine in one of our terrific restaurants, or get that

special gift for a loved one in one of our unique local shops.”

There were more than 1.6 million overseas visitor nights on the Sunshine Coast in 2018/19 and total tourism sales were more than $3.2 billion. Restrictions on domestic and international travel is expected to significantly affect local industries. “For those of us who live here, however, it is a golden opportunity to enjoy the magic of the Glass House Mountains for ourselves,” Mr Wallace says.

MP’s biking adventure As part of his #SupportSunshineCoast campaign, Federal Member Andrew Wallace recently completed a Tour de Fisher, meeting locals and promoting an active lifestyle.

Cycling 150 kilometres, Mr Wallace visited 16 communities from Pelican Waters, out to Peachester, up to Montville and across to Mooloolaba.

“I choose to ride my pushbike around the region because I want to help promote a healthy lifestyle for all of us,” Mr Wallace says.

o continue its vital welfare work, St Vincent de Paul Good Shepherd Conference at Kawana will hold a September fundraiser.

The team of 10 members provides support and guidance for locals, works closely with the homeless and helps families send their children to school with the books and food they require.

“During COVID we were able to continue with phone calls,” treasurer Maria Colwell says. “We give food and fuel vouchers and guide them in the right direction… We like to give people a hand up rather than a handout to support them.”

Ms Colwell says fundraising has been difficult this year. “We have been very grateful to the government, but we need to start fundraising again before government funding begins to wind back.”

SVDP Kawana will hold a book and plant sale from September 11 to 13 at Good Shepherd Centre, Nanyima Street, Buddina. For details call 5478 2954.

I made an election commitment that I would increase engagement with community groups, and while COVID-19 has been hindering this for the past few months, it was great to meet with passionate division two residents at my first community committee on July 22.

We had representatives from the Australian Pensioners and Superannuants League Caloundra, Caloundra Residents Association, Gateway Care, Golden Beach and Pelican Waters Community Association, Neighbourhood Watch Golden Beach, Rotary Club of Caloundra, Take

Action Pumicestone Passage, Wildlife Preservation Society Sunshine Coast and Hinterland and the Caloundra Men’s Shed.

Those who attended raised important issues for discussion, including: • Kerbside pickup for seniors as they can’t take large items to refuse centres.

• Wider roads in new developments to reduce people parking on footpaths.

• Increase use of Pumicestone Passage causing stress on the ecosystem.

• The Halls Creek development threat to Pumicestone Passage.

• The reduction of light pollution on beaches to protect marine life.

• Protection of Isabel Jordon Environmental Reserve.

• Rotary support for tourist information centre and possible new centre site.

• Growing concerns over mental health support in the region.

• Public safety on the Coastal Pathway.

• Heavy traffic on Caloundra Road.

• Traffic speeds in school zones.

• Capped price for tourism fees and charges rather than per square metre.

• RSL Memorial Garden resumption.

• Community meeting place for Golden Beach and Pelican Waters.

I will be holding meetings quarterly. I hope to see you at the next one on October 13.

Talara primary students dig deep for National Tree Day

T

Students planted sheoaks at their school

alara Primary College recently celebrated National Tree Day, planting more than 30 native species in the college grounds.

The TEAK (Talara’s Environmentally Friendly Kids) team had assistance from Sunshine Coast Council, which donated trees and staff time to help 20 students plant and stake the seedlings in the staff car park.

The students were excited to plant Allocasuarina emuina, an endangered species of sheoak that has a small population in Currimundi Lake Conservation Park and is a food source for the glossy black cockatoo.

The council’s arboreal services delivery leader Jason McDowall says the plants will provide environmental, visual, social and economic benefits.

“Talara Primary College’s contribution will help to reduce the ambient temperature of the adjacent car park by shading and cooling the area, improving stormwater quality, increasing bio-diversity and providing additional habitat and food sources for our native

wildlife within the school grounds and local environment.

“The purpose of National Tree Day is to celebrate trees and encourage people to get involved in tree planting, with the aim of planting one million native trees each year.

“This year, council provided more than 200 trees to schools to plant within their grounds to celebrate National Tree Day for Schools, which focuses on engaging students in planting.”

Australia Zoo has welcomed two adorable new members to their giraffe herd.

Giraffe Rosie gave birth to Tallbert on June 30, while Penny gave birth to Hunter on August 14. Both are the sons of Forest, the world’s tallest giraffe.

“After almost 15 months of pregnancy, both labours were surprisingly short – just over an hour,” giraffe keeper Kat Hansen says.

The newborn calves stand just under two metres, or 6.5-foot high, and weigh approximately 50 kilograms. They take the zoo’s giraffe population to 13.

“Giraffe are vulnerable to extinction,

with populations rapidly declining and widespread across the African continent,” Ms Hansen says.

Since 2018, Australia Tallbert Zoo Wildlife Warriors has been funding the work of the Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit in South Africa.

Having recently celebrated its first anniversary, owner Kay Nixon says for her, the store is a dream come true.

“It’s a fairytale for me,” she says.

Ms Nixon says her new work chapter began after a coffee trip with her husband to an adjoining cafe.

“We saw this lovely little shop with a

‘for lease’ sign and thought wow, this would make a really lovely book shop.”

With a passion for children’s books, but with something everyone, Ms Nixon says she wanted to create a destination, not just a retail outlet.

“It’s a lovely little place.”

“My husband used to be an actor, so he has lots of props around and it’s quite enchanting with flying books and quirky decorations.”

She says the shared courtyard between the cafe and bookstore is also a great place for families and dogs.

“Before COVID we were doing a lot of author and storytelling events.”

Ms Nixon says despite the challenge of 2020, she is proud to mark the one-year milestone.

“We survived our first year – if can do that, we can do anything.

“We were offering free deliveries on books and games during shutdown.”

Heavily involved in the Palmwoods community and community gardens, Ms Nixon says The Little Book Nook is another way to connect with the locals, and visitors.

“You get to know the people on a different level and talk about the books they are reading.

“I can then customise what I order in.”

Ms Nixon says that she has found her “forever job” and can see herself running The Little Book Nook for years to come.

The Sunshine Coast BBQ Festival is on at Aussie World

Meat and greet at festival WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

I

t’s that time again to kick back with your family and friends, feast on flavours from around the world and sip on some of the best craft brews at the second annual Sunshine Coast BBQ Festival.

The event at Aussie World on Saturday, September 5, just in time for Father’s Day, is the perfect present for all those

barbecue-loving dads and a great excuse for a family day out.

Guests will also get their chance to rub shoulders with and learn the latest cooking techniques from some of Queensland’s leading barbecue teams as they compete for the Sunshine Coast barbecue championships title.

Aussie World spokesperson Tom

Turner says the competition was a highlight for guests last year.

“Using a wood-fired pit, teams work over 12 hours to prepare and serve slow-cooked, expertly seasoned ribs, brisket, pork and poultry to the judging panel to win cash prizes, trophies and, of course, bragging rights,” he says.

On top of this, ticket holders can indulge in a range of authentic barbecue dishes from vendors.

These pop-up kitchens will be dishing up everything from baby-back ribs and 12-hour wood-smoked pulled pork to Texas-style brisket, burgers and flamedgrilled pork belly.

Mr Turner says Aussie World has an approved COVID-safe plan for the park.

“Our team has worked hard over the past few months to introduce some new measures and processes to keep us all safe so that guests can still enjoy a day out with in the park with family and friends,” he says.

“We know things are still a little different for people, but everything we’ve put in place is for the safety of our guests so it’s important they play their part as well. Without these new measures our events simply couldn’t happen.”

Ticket purchases are essential via the Aussie World website, with access to Aussie World attractions an extra $25.

Local graduate helping COVID patients in the UK

U

niversity of the Sunshine Coast biomedical science graduate Kellie Strickland had to pinch herself when she landed in England last September to begin a respiratory physiologist position at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth.

“This was a prospect I had no idea was possible – being able to work in my field and travel the UK and Europe was a dream come true,” the 22-year-old says.

“At the Queen Alexandra Hospital, I’m performing lung function testing on patients with asthma, emphysema, lung cancer and scarring (fibrosis), using high-tech equipment to provide measurements that aid in diagnoses and monitoring disease progression.

“I also help with pre-operative preparations for patients undergoing major surgery by assisting in cardiopulmonary exercise testing.”

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the former Chancellor State College student’s career is taking a new turn.

“Now, I am starting to test the lung

function of recovered COVID-19 patients to see if they’ve had any chronic effects from the virus.”

One of my greatest interests as your division five representative and service excellence portfolio councillor is delivering better roads for our hinterland communities.

If people who lived on the coastal side of our region had a third of their roads as gravel roads, they’d be screaming about it and expecting council to take note.

The Sunshine Coast Council region includes 2513 kilometres of sealed roads and 526 kilometres of unsealed roads.

The two divisions with the most roads are division five with 601.5 kilometres (20 per cent of the road network) and division 10 with 512 kilometres (17 per cent of the network).

Though some divisions have miniscule distances of unsealed roads, 33.5 per cent (equal to 176 kilometres) of the roads in division five are unsealed.

While it needs to be understood that not all gravel roads will ever be sealed, especially when they experience very low volumes of traffic, there are many problems associated with living on or beside unsealed roads.

Some of these concerns include dust nuisance, environmental and lifestyle issues and safety hazards.

Our ratepayers in the hinterland, as well as those who love to enjoy all the hinterland has to offer, deserve more money to be invested in ensuring safer and smoother experiences for all road users.

Currently, only approximately three kilometres per year of gravel roads are being sealed in the entire Sunshine Coast Council network. Our residents deserve much more and I will continue to advance this cause.

Brenden Southey 4556 Chamber of Commerce president

Buderim is the third most sought area in Queensland for southerners heading north, according to a recent article published in The Courier-Mail.

Our population continues to grow in all parts of Buderim and Sippy Downs. That presents opportunities for business and shows in the new commercial buildings under construction opposite the University of the Sunshine Coast and at North Buderim where Coles is set to open at the bottom of Jones Road.

In the heart of Buderim, some things are changing and some things stay the same. While some businesses are downsizing, moving or ending with their lease, shops like Kuddly Kids are now in their 41st year of trade. Birth Mamas is a new face in town for mums to be, while Honeysuckle Restaurant is a fabulous addition to the food scene.

Its modern Asian fare and style is attracting diners from far and wide.

The gallery’s footprint has now doubled with a new exhibition space and storage for the $6.5 million USC Art Collection, now the largest public collection of art in the region. The project was made possible by the late Arija Austin, who in 2015 bequeathed her and her late husband Richard’s personal art collection and a portion of their estate to USC.

Federal grant to help save energy Maroochydore’s Surf Life Saving Club and Nambour’s Vinnies are two very different charities but with something in common.

Both groups are benefitting from a $12,500 Energy Efficient Communities federal grant to reduce their electricity costs and redirect savings.

Maroochy Surf Club president Rob Elford says, “We will use these funds to upgrade our clubhouse to a more sustainable facility with energy and cost-efficient lighting. This means that other vital funds can be redirected to

purchase lifesaving equipment in preparation for the upcoming volunteer lifesaving season.”

Vinnies northern central diocesan president John Harrison says he hopes installing solar panels will lower their power bill. “The money we save from that will be used to support those that are less well off in our community.”

Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien announced the funding and says, “We know that community groups struggle under the weight of high power prices.”

with MWP’s man in the water

I received a message from a surf charter boat in Sumatra last week. If you are in Indo by some chance, they are taking their boat out for 12 days with back to back swells coming just to keep the boat moving and to cover wages for crew. No other boats are operating, which simply means someone is going to score absolutely epic uncrowned waves… at this point I am crying into my coffee.

Imagine surfing the famous Treasure Island with a only a few friends and stacked lines to the horizon. For those who don’t know this wave, it is a long right-handed wave that has three barrel sections. Boo hoo boo hoo (that’s me crying on a keyboard).
