FAST FACTS

Looking back.

Did you know?

Big Pineapple beginnings

The pineapple is indigenous to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations.

The Taylor Family Investments Pty Ltd purchased a 23-hectare (57 acres) pineapple farm southeast of Woombye in January 1971, from Gordon Ollett. Bill Taylor had worked at the United Nations for 20 years and had been head of the development finance section and Lyn Taylor was an interior designer in New York City. They returned to Australia in 1970. In 1971 Bill and Lyn Taylor embarked on what was then a new concept in agri-tourism, using Maroochy’s agricultural heritage to attract tourists. The pineapple farm became an agri-tourism project showcasing over 40 varieties of fruits, nuts, spices and sugar cane: the Sunshine Plantation. The two-level Big Pineapple was originally opened on August 15, 1971.

It is situated on a 165-hectare (410-acre) site. The Big Pineapple is a heritage-listed tourist attraction.

FEATURE STORY

Thinking of a career change?

The pandemic has caused many of us to stop and reconsider our careers. It can be daunting moving into a new field, but these Sunshine Coast locals say they’ve never looked back. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

Nicole Wright, Sunshine Coast University Hospital

N

icole Wright began her working life as a chef and wedding caterer, first in Melbourne, then in Noosa. It wasn’t until she had her first child that she realised her chosen career was no longer making her happy.

The hours and conditions didn’t suit her and she wanted more security in her future employment. So in her thirties, with two young children in tow, the Buddina mum enrolled to study nursing at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC).

“I started studying when Oliver my youngest was just a few months old and still breastfeeding,” she says. “I’m not going to lie, it was challenging, but you do what you have to do. Before I enrolled, I talked to the careers team at the university about what sorts of jobs there are on the Coast to make sure I was going to have a job at the end of it. I decided nursing provided a lot of scope for different areas you could get into.

If you’re going to university when you’re

mature aged, you don’t have as much time to progress through your career and you want to make sure you’ll have a career at the end of the study.”

Having been out of school and in the workforce for years, Mrs Wright was nervous about coping with the study. She’d been to TAFE to become a chef, but doubted her ability to study at university level. She did the Tertiary Preparation Pathway course, which gave her confidence, and went on to win academic awards and medals.

“I never set out to get those results,” she says. “I just applied myself and really enjoyed the study. I’ve almost come to the end of my graduate year and I have loved every minute of it. It has been incredibly challenging, but I have experienced so much personal and professional growth.”

Now 36 and employed as a mental health nurse at Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Mrs Wright says she has found the right career and will continue to work in

health care until retirement. Her advice to anyone considering going back to study for a new career is to go for it.

“The most important thing is to be true to yourself,” she says. “If you have an area of interest, pursue it. That sense of self-doubt just holds you back, so put that aside. If you really want something, you’ll get it. I can’t imagine I would ever change careers now. I love it and I wish I had started sooner.”

Over half of all domestic USC students are non-school leavers – or what used to be known as mature-age students. According to vice-chancellor, Professor Helen Bartlett, the university has seen an increase in early-bird first preferences to study at USC for both school and non-school leavers.

“This may be due to more people working from home or who have had a change in employment circumstances and are rethinking their life and career objectives,” Prof Bartlett says. “Economic downturns typically coincide with increased demand for tertiary education, but it is particularly interesting to see that, across Queensland, there has been an increased demand for health and education programs, as well as more applications from interstate.

“We have also seen an increase in registrations for Uni Skills for You, a free course for anyone thinking of taking the first steps to study at university or TAFE. It is run online over four weeks or face-toface over two consecutive days and is popular with non-school leavers.”

But Sunshine Coast career consultant Kate Langford says for many people seeking a career change, further study isn’t necessarily the way to go.

“I wouldn’t advise anyone to switch careers if you need a degree to do it,” she says. “People should only do a degree when they 110 per cent know that’s what they want and they need that piece of paper. I’m not a fan of higher education later in life. It might be a controversial viewpoint, but a degree isn’t necessarily the answer for a career change. If you’ve always wanted to do something or had a passion for a year or two, then sure. But doing a degree doesn’t guarantee you a job at the end of it. I have a lot of university graduates coming to me who can’t find jobs.

“If you are older and have work experience, then work out who is your ideal boss, your ideal company size, what makes you tick internally.”

Mrs Langford says the majority of her clients are people between 40 and 60 who

are re-evaluating their lives and careers.

They may have been made redundant or lost a job due to downsizing. Many found COVID gave them time to stop and realise they were no longer happy.

“We find a lot of people are coming to us and wanting a resume done,” she says.

“We ask them, ‘what do you really want to do?’ They actually don’t know. People are starting to question what is going to make them happy. I think values have changed.

It’s more about finding a boss that will give them flexibility or understands family life and work-life balance. People are steering away from that workaholic mentality.”

“Economic downturns typically coincide with increased demand for tertiary education” Professor Helen Bartlett, USC

Mrs Langford says challenges people seeking a career change face include being pigeonholed for too long, lack of confidence and pay cuts.

“Be prepared to take a pay cut changing careers, 100 per cent,” she says. “But age isn’t really valid. I’m really passionate about this topic. Twenty years ago, 55 used to be the retirement age. It’s now 65. People come to me and say, ‘I’m 44, I think I’m too old to be hired, but that’s the new 34.

“Culture fit is more important than skill set these days. An employer can teach skills.

Culture fit is about work ethic, how they get on with the team, what they bring to the culture in regard to positivity, flexibility, doing whatever the business needs, being on time, not being a high-maintenance employee and wanting time off every week, calling in sick too often.”

Australians are increasingly working to myweeklypreview.com.au

FEATURE STORY

AT A GLANCE In 2014-15, the average age at which Australians aged 45 years and over intended to retire was 65.1 years, up from 62.3 years in 2004-05, with almost one-quarter not intending to retire until the age of 70 years or older.

Kate Langford, career consultant older ages, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. But in a survey of more than 1000 Queensland SMEs, the Ageing Workforce Report (Office of Industrial Relations, 2019) found most employers believe people are too old for full-time work by 65. More than half the respondents reported their organisation is not considering strategies to attract and retain older workers, and do not have any policies in place regarding older workers.

Mrs Langford says there is no age at which we become unemployable.

“You could be 62 and wanting a career change, even if you only have three years left. Maybe it’s not about becoming a manager. Every day you have to work is worth changing if you’re not happy. Don’t give up on being able to find something you enjoy. Resilience is key, because you will get rejections.”

TAFE is a good option for older workers who feel they need to upskill but don’t want to commit to university, with 20 per cent of TAFE Sunshine Coast students over 40.

According to TAFE Queensland executive director education and training (East Coast) Mark Reilly, TAFE allows for a faster transition into a new career than university.

“Changing careers and starting over again is an exciting prospect for many people, but it can also be incredibly daunting to leave the comfort zone of your existing industry in pursuit of the unknown,” he says. “Our courses are highly

Labour force participation among mature-age workers is rising. This is particularly so for women aged 55-64 years, whose participation has doubled over the past two decades, from less than 30 per cent in 1995 to just under 60 per cent in 2015.

According to the 2015 Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers (2015), of the 2.7 million Australians aged 55-64 years, around two-thirds (67.1 per cent) were participating in the labour force. While many (62.6 per cent) worked full-time, a third (34 per cent) of people in this age group worked part-time.

Men aged 55-64 years were more likely to participate in the labour force than older women (74.7 per cent compared with 60 per cent), and were also more likely to be working full-time (76.9 per cent of men, compared to 45.4 per cent of women).

From 2011 to 2016 there were an extra 90,000 students above the age of 25 enrolled at university. Around two out of every five of those students had not yet already received a bachelor’s degree.

practical from start to finish and shorter than the typical university degree, enabling our students to get a feel for their new career without committing to years of study.

When they graduate, our students have the valuable skills and qualifications they need to secure successful employment, but they also have the ability to further their studies if they choose, whether that’s through TAFE Queensland or direct entry to a program at one of our partner universities.”

Mr Reilly says courses in the health services, community services, education support and accounting are particularly popular among students over 40 on the Sunshine Coast, but there are mature age students participating in everything from beauty and business to fitness and IT.

“Changing careers and starting over again is an exciting prospect for many” Mark Reilly, TAFE Queensland

Dean Hanley is a 51-year-old Diploma of Youth Work graduate from the TAFE Mooloolaba campus. His is a story of triumph against the odds.

Having surmounted considerable personal challenges in his youth, he found a job in drilling that provided a lucrative income but no job satisfaction. He’d always felt compassion for the underdog, so he chose to change careers and now works with at-risk people between the ages of

Dean Hanley, TAFE graduate 16 and 25 as a youth mobile homeless support worker with Vinnies. But what’s extraordinary about Mr Hanley’s is he couldn’t read until he was 38.

“I was so passionate and was always the person front and centre in class,” he says. “I was willing to participate and my passion saved the teachers from tapping me on the shoulder and asking me to come back when I could read better. I put a lot of effort into it – what you put into it is what you get out of it. With life, it’s those passionate moments that define you.

“I’ve since gone back and got an advanced diploma in community sector leadership and management – as I’m getting older, I thought I’d prepare myself for the next phase of my career.

“I had to take a big pay cut to do this work, but now I’m getting more emotional value out of my existence. The financial benefit has declined, but because I’m more fulfilled, I end up with more disposable income than I ever used to. I was purchasing happiness before. I was purchasing happiness through toys, going out for dinners. I don’t need to do that anymore because I’ve found my calling.”

So what does Mr Hanley have to say to anyone considering a career change later in life?

“Follow your passion, follow your heart, trust your instincts. It’s really scary. I had a year of sacrifice, but that year of sacrifice humbled me to a point where I was ready to take that journey.”

HEADSPACE DAY OUT

T

o mark the eighth Headspace Day held on the Sunshine Coast, Headspace Maroochydore welcomed the community to their Headspace Day in the Park event, hosting a range of activities on Saturday, October 17 at Cotton Tree Park.

Headspace Maroochydore centre manager, Bernie Clarke, says he was thrilled to host the range of activities, not only raising awareness for the centre’s services and the importance of looking after our young peoples’ mental health but inviting the Sunshine Coast community down to the park for a fun day out.

“A number of very supportive Sunshine Coast businesses helped to celebrate this day, including Ocean Addicts Stand-Up Paddle Boarding, Jetts Kawana and Caloundra Fun Fitness running classes, Box to the Beat, Yoga with Anna, Kindness Collective, IFYS coffee van and Strike Holy Moly games,” Mr Clarke says.

“Our service is designed to make it as easy as possible for a young person and their family to get the help they need for challenges impacting their wellbeing, by providing tailored and holistic mental health support.”

Like many mental health support providers, Headspace Maroochydore has experienced a significant increase in need over the last six months while they have come to terms with a world pandemic.

“This time has been particularly challenging for our young people, as they have been isolated from their friends and support systems, needed to be responsible for managing homeschooling workloads and anxiety around how the virus will impact on them,” says Mr Clarke.

“Over 1000 new clients have been seen in our centre since January and our rate of referrals over the past six months has

increased by 18 per cent compared to this time last year.”

“We have met this demand by employing more clinicians, implementing telehealth and working closely with our community partners.

“We have also reintroduced regular activities each week to ensure we keep these young people engaged with the Headspace service and they feel supported during their journey.”

For more information about Headspace or to book an appointment please call 5409 4900 or headspace. org.au and search for Maroochydore.

STEPS AUTISM TREEHOUSE XMAS PARTY ON

Unitywater is encouraging residents who are not connected to the town water supply to check their tanks and book water deliveries.

Unitywater’s Katherine Gee says after combined southeast Queensland dam levels dropped below 60 per cent in September, it was timely for those who rely on tank water to consider topping up. “We’ve received phone calls from some residents on tanks who are close to running out or have run out of water already.”

Unitywater provides access to community fill stations at Cooroy and Nambour where residents can fill containers.

The STEPS Autism Treehouse seventh Annual Christmas Party will be held on December 6 at the Kawana Sports Precinct. The Christmas party is a chance for families living with autism and disability to enjoy a fun-filled day in a supportive environment. STEPS managing director Carmel Crouch says despite the challenges of running events this year, they felt hosting the Christmas party was not optional but essential. “There’s no doubt 2020 has been a very tough year for organisations across the Coast and in particular charitable organisations,” Ms Crouch says. “Christmas however is a very magical time of the year for all children and for those especially living with autism and disability and we are so pleased to be able to offer a space in the community that is safe and fun filled where families can connect and support each other.” The event will offer activities such as a sensory tent, rides, a mobile rock wall and a visit from Santa.

HALLOWEEN RECYCLED

BIG RIGS ON SHOW AT SUNNY COAST STADIUM

SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast ‘A-scare-ium’ is encouraging children to enjoy an eco-friendly Halloween. Children can join the virtual Creepy Clean Up on October 31 by dressing up in a Halloween costume and venturing out to safely pick up rubbish in their local area. During the month of October, the aquarium is also sharing ‘how to’ videos online to encourage children to celebrate Halloween sustainably. Watch the videos for tips and tricks on upcycling costumes, making plastic-free treats and carving pumpkins. For more information: sealifesunshinecoast.com.au/news/ creepy-clean-up.

The next event to hit Sunshine Coast Stadium will showcase some of the world’s greatest monster trucks including Australia number one Outback Thunda and USA Legend Bearfoot on Saturday, November 21. The show will include a water screen, five trucks and a monster truck jumping a fighter jet. The event will also see Sunshine Coast and State of Origin legend Chris Flannery behind the wheel. Councillor Peter Cox says it is great to see the stadium calendar growing with events again after a hugely interrupted year. For tickets visit ticketek.com.au.

TRANSPORT SERVICE TO EXTEND TO SCUH

Surf Life Saving Queensland recently held its annual fundraising Support Our Savers campaign, or SOS Week. In its 17th year, the week was a chance for the community to donate money for vital equipment, training and resources for volunteers. Surf Life Saving Queensland CEO Dave Whimpey says safety comes at a cost. “One patrol set up on a beach costs $80,000 and we man more than 75 beaches across Queensland. “Already in the past year SLSQ patrols rescued 2555 swimmers in distress, who thanks to our people, were able to return home to their loved ones.” Donate by visiting livesaving.com.au.

USC SOCIAL MEDIA WINNERS Local residents can now travel to more destinations on the Kenilworth Community Transport Service. Division 10 Councillor David Law says the service will now be available to residents in Kenilworth as well as surrounding localities and will include trips to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. “The service was previously available only to residents living within a 6.5-kilometre radius of the Kenilworth Post Office and provided transport to Nambour, Maleny, Mapleton, Eumundi and Yandina for a flat fee of $8 one-way or return. At the request of the community, a submission was put to the council to broaden the catchment area of the service and include the Sunshine Coast University Hospital as an approved destination. Residents in Belli Park, Cambroon, Conondale, Coolabine, Eerwah Vale, Gheerulla, Kidaman Creek and Obi Obi can now access the service. The Kenilworth Community Transport Service is run by volunteers.

The University of the Sunshine Coast’s social media degree won exceptional recognition at the 2020 Australian and New Zealand Social Media Marketing Awards.

USC’s Bachelor of Communication (Social Media) program coordinator and lecturer Dr Karen Sutherland (pictured centre) won Best Social Media Educator of the Year, while students Nikita Kuenz (left) and Chantal Barclay (right) won the award for Best Student Campaign. Ms Kuenz and Ms Barclay created a strategy submission for the Starlight Children’s Foundation’s Livewire online community for teens living with illness or disability.

COUNCIL RECEIVES TOP TECH AWARD Sunshine Coast Council has been awarded the Australian Achievement of the Year Award at the MAV Technology Awards for Excellence for the delivery of its International Broadband Submarine Cable project. The cable will provide Queensland’s first direct international data and telecommunications connection to global markets. The council facilitated the connection of a new international submarine cable following an international submarine cable contract agreed between Sunshine Coast Council and RTI Connectivity Pty Ltd (RTI-C).

QUEENSLAND GENERAL ELECTION: YOUR VOTER INFO CARD IS ON ITS WAY

he Electoral Commission of Queensland says voter information cards for the 2020 State general election are on their way to Queenslanders on the electoral roll.

Commissioner Pat Vidgen says the voter information cards or VICs are designed to provide information about the election and aid the voting process with a QR code containing electors’ enrolment details.

“The VIC provides electors with information about the type of election, key dates, the name of their electorate, voting options and details on where to access further election information,” Mr Vidgen says.

“The QR code makes it quicker to mark electors off the roll when they vote in person.

“Bringing a VIC when you vote is not essential, but the VIC will make it quick.

“Postal voters in the 2020 State general election will still receive a VIC so they’re aware of voting options, however electors who are registered as special postal voters will not receive a VIC. “Voters should also be aware that, even if they have applied for a postal vote, they can still choose to go to a polling

Mr Vidgen says early voting began on Monday, October 19 from 9am to 6pm and goes through to Friday, October 30 with late night voting on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 9pm, as well as voting from 9am to 5pm on Saturday October 24.

There is no voting on Sundays.

“Election day is Saturday, October 31, with voting between 8am and 6pm and all voting locations and times are on the ECQ’s website at ecq.qld.gov.au,” he says.

Any electors planning to vote in person who do not receive a VIC are still able to vote easily at a polling booth by providing their details but may need to update their details on the electoral roll.

With the pandemic, the Palaszczuk Government has put our lives first. That has meant taking the necessary measures to keep Queenslanders safe. Thanks to the fantastic effort by all Queenslanders, we are now building our economic recovery through the Government’s Economic Plan – getting things done for Queensland.

We all want elected candidates to make the right decisions to protect our way of life.Whether this is having policies that are fair and practical for each of us, or supporting our right to walk on our favourite beach. Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party has policies to cut through red tape by removing payroll tax, stamp duties and property tax, which gives more money to spend and fuels growth and jobs. We have regional policies supporting our recovery and we want borders responsibly opened to get tourism working again.

The focus needs to be bought back to the people. An electorate that comes together to work on solving community issues.

Needing addressing foremost – increasing the Sippy Downs Police Station hours to 24/7, working with the council to upgrade the safety and usability of public spaces, traffic congestion around schools and intersections, creating an identity for ourselves while respecting our heritage, plus family and individual support on many levels. Our population here has exponential growth, which will not slow down anytime soon.

With a background in tourism and education, I worked for many years developing partnerships to support young people transitioning into work. Youth unemployment, and the related squeeze in housing for low income earners is a growing issue. I will protect our environment, support new green industries and review the laws protecting our Gubbi Gubbi archeological heritage.

The Greens are a grassroots democratic party that works to empower the electorate to be fairly represented and rebuild trust in government.

I am a firefighter with a military background, and have been awarded the Operational Service, National and Defence Medal. The most important issue of this election is COVID-19. Annastacia Palasczcuk has kept Queenslanders safe and the pandemic out of Queensland so far, through fast, focused action, stubborn determination, and by listening to the experts. My sole focus for the immediate future is to be seated at the table of government when the decisions that affect our community are made. Keeping COVID out of the families, streets and communities of Nicklin is paramount.

Over the last decade, Labor and the LNP have taken millions of dollars in donations from corporations. This allows corporate donations to be the deciding factor in policy changes and budget decisions, with the big banks, lobbyists and mining companies setting the agenda. This means that we miss out on funding to services like public health, education and critical public infrastructure. As a young person, I see all of the services we need being stripped more and more every year and the government consistently ignoring the voice of younger voters.

I firmly believe the most important issues in this election are increased infrastructure to support growth and sustainability on the Sunshine Coast, e.g. four-lane highway from Kawana Way through to Mooloolaba, free public transport, essential utilities delivered at cost price and developing additional sporting venues in Brightwater and Sippy Downs. With more than 20 years of experience, I believe these goals are best carried out by independents who are unrestricted by political party policies. I am is running as an Independent to be the voice of the people.

The most important question for the voters of Nicklin is: can we trust the majors? The major parties – LNP, ALP and Greens – have destroyed the economy, safety, health, and freedoms of Queenslanders. Can we trust the majors? Let’s check. They want the lockdown to continue. We want to open the state. They want forced vaccinations – we want freedom of choice. They want Australia owned by foreign interests. We want Australia owned by Australians. We can’t trust the majors.

The most important issue for families is the pressure from the rising costs of living, including the ability to put nutritious food on the table. The Greens will introduce a universal, free healthy breakfast and lunch program to run at every state primary and secondary school. We will also scrap hospital parking fees and make access to public healthcare and education genuinely universal and free. The Greens will reverse electricity privatisation in Queensland and slash electricity bills by 46 per cent, while investing in public infrastructure to create 78,000 new jobs a year.

Looking for Support..?

WHY A BUSINESS MENTOR IS INVALUABLE At the best of times, running a small to medium business presents a multitude of highs and lows.

There’s no doubt people who understand this best are the businesspeople who have been through it and come out the other side.

When former New Zealander Dave Williams ran through his business plan, he found just one, but extremely important point was missing.

Mr Williams started his business, a high-end audiovisual retail store, in Auckland, in the early 2000s.

“Business was going well, and we were making money,” he says.

“But the plan was to build up the business over three years and then sell it.”

That was when Mr Williams became aware that his business plan was not complete.

“I realised the last step was missing and I didn’t know how to get the business in shape to sell for the best return.”

Mr Williams decided to turn to the New

WAS $150

Zealand Chamber of Commerce for advice.

From there he was directed into their business mentoring program.

“I was quickly matched to a business mentor with the skill set I required, and from the first meeting I knew this was a good move,” he says.

“I was the one who had to do the work to ready the business for sale, but having the mentor as a sounding board and offering some guidance – this was just what I needed.”

The advice led to the business running more autonomously and still profitably, which resulted in a successful sale some nine months later.

It was this positive menteeship and a further 15 years of business experience that led Mr Williams to volunteer as a mentor to give a little back.

“As a mentor I am able to look at a mentee’s business from a different perspective, ask questions, suggest solutions and opportunities that can sometimes be overlooked when you’re in the thick of running your own business,” he says.

PROFILE

Way of the future Why are people driving from all over southeast Queensland and waiting in line to eat at a humble little fish and chips shop tucked away in a back street of Buderim? Ironically, it’s not for the fish and chips.

WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

A

lmost overnight, a small shop in a back street of Buderim has become one of the most popular fish and chips shops on the Sunshine Coast, with people driving from Brisbane and standing in long queues to sample its fare. Customers hug its delightful owner, Nattapon Chumchujan – known as

Nat – and call him an ‘inspiration’ in videos posted to Facebook, and he pleads with customers to order online as they can’t get through the phone orders.

Since Farm Rak was featured on ABC’s Landline program recently, Mr Chumchujan and his wife Gaeul (Bella) Kim say business has tripled and they are

struggling to keep up with demand. Mr Chumchujan is only sleeping four or five hours a night, devoting all his waking hours to work. He rises early and spends seven days a week at the farm and seven nights a week at the Buderim shop.

So what’s so special about this out-ofthe-way fish and chips shop? Ironically, not

the fish and chips. Mr Chumchujan and his wife serve salads made with produce they grow on their organic aquaponics farm in Bli Bli, along with tempura vegetables.

“Since the Landline program I’ve been using three or four times more salad than usual,” says Mr Chumchujan. “Before, even the people who live near us wouldn’t have known we were there. People usually come in and we find it difficult to get them to try the salad and tempura vegetables, but now almost every single order they ask for it.”

An engineer and IT specialist, Mr Chumchujan’s passion is feeding people fresh, organic vegetables and he invested his money into the aquaponics farm with this purpose in mind. He says he’s not making much money out of Farm Rak, but that’s not the point.

“If I buy a house, it’s just me and my family I am feeding,” he says. “If I put the money into this project, I could potentially change the lives of many more people.

People only thinking about themselves is what has turned this world into a lot of trouble and I hope that I can inspire more people to start thinking in terms of other people and not just themselves.”

Born in Thailand, Mr Chumchujan came to Australia in 2005 and lives in Bli Bli with his Korean-born wife. His mission is to get people eating organic vegetables and he’s committed to finding ways to make

PROFILE them affordable. His farm uses waste water from native jade perch, which is gravity-fed through grow beds to fertilise a variety of vegetables. It’s all spray-free and uses a 10th of the water used in traditional farming. He works with 70 growers in the area who offer spray-free or organic produce to provide whatever he doesn’t grow.

“A lot of people don’t think vegetables can be delicious and I understand that,” he says. “People don’t know what vegetables should taste like and they don’t know there

“I hope that I can inspire more people to start thinking in terms of other people” is a massive difference in terms of nutrients and flavour in organic vegetables. It’s my job to let people know.”

Mr Chumchujan first heard about aquaponics in 2012 and as he researched it, he decided it was the way of the future. He started his Bli Bli farm project in November 2018 on just 1000 square metres of land – a small area considering the volume of food he produces.

“That’s why I can see this is the future,” he says. “From the amount of resources we use compared to the yield we’re getting, it’s just massive. A family of four would use more water than what we use at the farm.”

Mr Chumchujan says organic vegetables are costly because of the way they are produced and he’s committed to converting more people to buying them in order to improve the economies of scale.

“Who wouldn’t like to eat organic vegetables, but people don’t want to pay four times the price. You have to keep the price down so that everyone can get their hands on them. I don’t want it to be only top end. I want to keep my prices accessible so that people come and eat my vegetables.

“After Landline, we ran out of fish. I was so happy to tell customers, ‘sorry, we don’t have fish, we only have vegetables’. For me to get them to take the first step and start eating the salad and tempura vegetables, that for me is a good step. I hope there will be some more people following, doing what we do, changing the way things are going.

At the end of the day, healthy families are the ones that will build the country. The brain works better and they are happier in their lives.”

Mr Chumchujan suggests customers check the Farm Rak Facebook page before driving a long way to visit the shop to avoid disappointment.

LOCALS RALLY AGAINST PLAN

THANKS FOR A GREAT READ

Mtag (Mass Transport Action Group) has been funded by local residents. This is an amazing community act and we at Mtag would like to thank the generous residents of Warana who rallied their community. These concerned locals came to Mtag with their own money, specifically requesting an ad be run in MWP so that the wider community could be informed about the Mass Transit Project and how it will impact them. Council has indicated in its latest transport priorities map, the corridor where the proposed light rail is to run is to be ‘high density’. This is not what these people want to see along this corridor where they live. Thanks to these generous residents for standing up and letting their voices be heard.

It is so good to open a physical object such as a fold of papers and get so much relevant information about what is happening in my area in which I live. Then to be able to send it to recycle after gleaning the information from the print. May this opportunity be everlasting and never go the way of electronic media, if only to experience the natural world in daily living. One article caught my eye, and I am giving feedback. That article was “Garden waste a big winner”. My experience does not align with the councillor’s statement that “the waste can be collected from recycle centres at no cost to domestic customers”. Around a month ago, I looked up on the council website and found mulch available at $10 per cubic metre, not free.

Green systems are great; however, they need to be easy. And perhaps accurate in their descriptions. Anyway, keep up the good work in conveying information and providing a few laughs and social opportunities available on the Sunshine Coast.

While I have been a lifelong Mini fan, buying my first in 1966, the claim in (MWP 8/10) Do You Remember, that the Mini “was the first car to get the front-wheel-drive” (in 1959) isn’t actually correct. Various very early cars back into the late 1800s were front wheel drive, while the DKW ‘Front’ F1 (photo attached) in 1931 was the first production car to have both front wheel drive and the Mini’s iconic transverse engine. What Alec Issigonis did so brilliantly was package the whole car in a tiny body shell (a fraction over three metres), still with enough room for four adults.

$500K TOO MUCH FOR OUR CEO

Why is it that the CEO of the Sunshine Coast Council has a salary package of almost $500,000? This is an outrageous amount to pay someone in this position and surely we deserve better as Sunshine Coast residents. Many people are doing it tough and it’s not acceptable that our rates are paying this high salary.

IT’S YOUR PAGE Have your say on roads, rates and rubbish. Let us know the stories you like and comments on columns. Perhaps you have taken a particularly fine Sunshine Coast photo you would like us to publish. We look forward to hearing from you.

At IFYS Foster Care we know that belonging is fundamental to the human experience and we all have an essential need to be loved, cared for and to belong.As humans, we need to belong. To one another, to our friends and families, to our culture and country, to our world. Belonging is primal, fundamental to our sense of happiness and well-being.

When a child is brought into care they can be confused, scared and unsure of what the future holds; they can feel that they don’t belong.

At IFYS Foster Care we acknowledge that children and young people need to belong, they need to feel that they really matter to somebody, somewhere. A connection with at least one caring adult can make a huge difference in the life of a child or young person.

In the words of Rita Pierson - Every child deserves a champion - an adult who never gives up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

COULD THIS BE YOU?

HOONS DISTURBING PEACE NOT ON

Photo of the week

Having recently moved from Ninderry to Buderim, we love our new home and location.

However, we are becoming continually disturbed by hoon behaviour that constantly interrupts our evenings and in the dead of night in the Kunda Park area.

It’s not our imagination. The evidence is plain to see – just look at the burnout marks on the local roads.

Revving engines and squealing tires are not what we expected in this beautiful, mostly tranquil location. These demonstrations of testosterone are unwelcomed and warrant a review of government policy and policing in the area.

TALKING POINT

Ashley Robinson is the manager of Alex Surf Club and the chairman of the Sunshine Coast Falcons

A RATHER WET SENSE OF HUMOR If you missed my penguin story, I suggest you visit the MWP website and check it out. It was published on October 9 and in my opinion is worth a read, particularly if you don’t know my history, as that column explains quite a bit about who or what you are dealing with. I mention this as the penguin background will help you understand what I am about to share with you.

A few weeks ago, I was sent to Coles at Birtinya to buy some groceries – not a lot, just a few. Things old mate needed but had no time to pick up. Now, we have been married since 1984, coincidentally the same year as George Orwell’s book about the future that predicted things like Big Brother, thoughtcrime, newspeak- Thought Police and my personal favourite, memory hole, which relates to my penguin column re the biscuit barrel.

Sorry to digress. So over the last 36 years, I have not been called on to do much grocery shopping until recently, where as a rookie, I get pictures sent to my phone and very descriptive notes on what to get. Alas, I still get it wrong from time to time. The other week was one of

those times. I had the list, I had the photos and was very confident I had nailed it, but instead when I got home and unpacked in front of the commander, instead of beef mince and ox heart (very important food for the magpies and noisy miners) I had managed to get lamb? As she blew up, I was telling her it was in the beef section but she said, “Look you idiot, there is a picture of a sheep on the package, not a bloody cow.” The only thing that saved me was everything else was okay, but also the fact that I was ringing wet and she asked me what happened.

I went on tell her that as I was leaving, I bought a cheese scroll from the baker and as I was driving along in the car park, I was eating it and a bit got stuck in my throat, so I thought I would have another bite. It got stuck as well and I started to gag then choke. I am thinking I need water, hoping for a tap in the car park, but no.

Then I looked down and saw her mineral water in the shopping bag, which I am banned from drinking. I figured I had two choices, die or drink ‘her’ mineral water and get yelled at. I obviously went for plan B and opened the bottle. It exploded in the car, all over me, the dashboard and the windscreen and as I drank it, half of it went in my lap. Did I mention I had no underpants on?

Now, like the penguin story, the fact I was standing there in all my glory saturated, my car with all its doors open, bathing in mineral water and sunshine saved me as she just couldn’t stop laughing. Getting lamb instead of beef paled into insignificance. I wonder what George would have thought?

Halinka & Michelle are the team that produces the Little Grabs podcast, which deals with life, friendship and everything in between.

BIRDS OF A CERTAIN COLOR FEATHER With every great relationship there is always a great story and ours is no different. It was a fortuitous meeting at Kawana markets and the story goes something like this. Michelle and her husband were eating breakfast and Halinka overheard someone mention the best tasting chai on the Coast. Halinka took her opportunity and a wonderful friendship ensued.

Being new to the Sunshine Coast and facing mutual challenges, we grappled with the important questions of how to look glamorous while perspiring and how to make new friends.

It seems that 28 per cent of locals are from interstate, 26 per cent are from overseas and 48 per cent are Queenslanders, but not necessarily from the Coast. So most of us here are newcomers.

Moving to the Coast can initially be very lonely. We may have families, children and furry friends, but true friends fulfil a very different need. The farmers markets are a great place to start. Shopping and chatting, you meet all sorts, and you never know where these interactions take you. You can

become very good at talking to strangers.

But context is key – how many people meet at the supermarket?

Our friendship began and we shared our not so dissimilar stories, full of exes and broken hearts, all held together by crazy dreams. We both dared to love and have been consumed by our appetites for a wonderful life. We have laughed, cried, been rejected and have rejected.

We smashed down doors, built careers and businesses. But we needed a friend.

Having someone who you can turn to is important. Halinka loves that she can rely on Michelle to tell her if her bum looks big in a pair of pants. We discuss everything, like what it’s like to hit midlife while living in paradise. That messes with you. You can feel lost.

We all long for connection and now we face the reality that we are the demographic that is missing from history. But we aren’t dead! It’s in friendships we can confront these feelings.

We talked and we learned that sometimes we felt brave and then sometimes frightened. We lost ourselves and found each other.

Friends help you reboot, reset and encourage you to find which version of yourselves can cope with the day.

Women today are more isolated than ever. Technology, juggling responsibilities and making time for friends has been added to our to-do list.

By butting into a conversation, Halinka generated a dynamic friendship and we invite you to join our circle.

Keep smiling, visit the farmers’ markets and say hello, you never know who you might meet.

From builder to developer, and now investor – Scott Gooderham is Managing Director of Adams & Jones, and looks forward to a bright and prosperous future in property across Queensland.

“In my view, the property hot spot of the nation will be Queensland over the coming months.

Both the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast will be very appealing for Southerners considering an interstate move after a long winters lock down. The hinterland and rural areas of our state will also be very desirable for those craving space-to-breathe and room-to-move while surrounded by our natural environment.

"We're in a very good place."

Given our recent and proven ability to work and communicate remotely, Brisbane will also be attractive to the ‘movers & shakers’ looking to live and work from a safer destination without the restrictions.

It will be more about lifestyle, which has been Queensland’s calling card for decades.”

ART ESSENTIAL FOR COMMUNITY CONNECTION Art is acknowledged as a vital element to creating a sense of place as new Artspace is launched at Harmony, Palmview.

C

an you imagine a new community where art, artists and exhibit space has been considered an important aspect of its development? On the Sunshine Coast, developers of Harmony at Palmview, the AVID Property Group, have taken that stance and launched its first outdoor art gallery – Artspace – aimed at presenting an exploration of community and place through a creative lens.

AVID Property Group general manager Queensland, Bruce Harper, referenced The Australia Council for the Arts’ August 2020 Creating our Future report, noting an increasing majority (84 per cent) of Australians acknowledge the positive impact art has on communities, up from 75 per cent in 20161.

Mr Harper says, “With nearly every Australian engaging with the arts in some way, we wanted to create a space within our community where our residents could truly connect with each other and learn more about their neighbours and surroundings.

“Each art piece was commissioned to tell a unique story of Harmony and we are excited to be able to share these vibrant stories with our residents and the broader

Harmony’s Artspace, including Alison Mooney, Gus Eagleton, Mieke van den Berg, Jim Cox, Pam Walpole, Shyanne Clarke, Steven Bordonaro, Kym Tabulo and Nicole Voevodin-Cash.

“It’s smart to continue investing in our creative sectors as engines of imaginative ideas and added value,” Mr Harper adds.

“Skill and beauty in any art form are great unifiers and, more often than not, lifts our spirits and speaks to us all.”

Sunshine Coast Deputy Mayor Rick Baberowski says to support your own local arts industry is to recognise that helping to create original and creative content is as essential as it is enjoyable.

Harmony’s Artspace is located in Harmony Display World, off Harmony Boulevard via Peter Crosby Way. Rick Baberowski, Bruce Harper and Anthony Demiris Sunshine Coast community.

“People are having significantly less face-to-face contact with their neighbours at the moment, which means we are having to think of innovative ways to create opportunities for people to connect.”

Public art is more than enhancing the look and feel of a community, it’s about creating a sense of place. AVID understands

that public art not only shapes the community’s identity but connects residents to their community.

“At Harmony, we have a dedicated community eevelopment officer, Susana Waldron, who has worked with each artist to bring their vision of Harmony to life,” Mr Harper says.

Nine local artists have contributed to

ABOUT HARMONY BY AVID PROPERTY GROUP Harmony is a $3-billion project on 378 hectares. Harmony will deliver more than 4800 homes for 12,000 future residents. It features 130 hectares of open space. More than 9000 short-term jobs will be generated through the project.

TIME TO GET READY FOR STORM SEASON Local students lead the way in getting ready for storm season – and this year is predicted to be a wet one.

H

e’s just 10 years old, but Year 5 St Joseph’s Primary School Nambour student Zac Zeremes wants everyone on the Sunshine Coast to be prepared for severe weather and emergency events.

“You need to have a ‘WHAT-IF’ plan,” Zac says. “A ‘WHAT-IF’ plan means everyone in your house knows exactly what to do in any kind of disaster.

“It’s really good for kids to know what to do, so they can talk to their family and neighbours about having an emergency and evacuation kit ready to go.”

Zac and his classmates Jordan Gormley, Archie Tollner, Heidi Brumwell and Shyla Lamont won the 2020 Sunshine Coast Get Ready Schools Competition and star in the Sunshine Coast Council’s annual disaster awareness campaign.

The council, in partnership with emergency services agencies, is calling on all Sunshine Coast residents and businesses to ensure they are disaster ready.

“We know that disaster can strike any time, anywhere and it’s not a matter of if, but when,” Mayor Mark Jamieson says.

“We all have a role to play and being prepared is everyone’s responsibility.

TOP TIPS Your emergency kit will equip your household for up to three days of isolation: • Fresh water • Non-perishable food • First aid kit • Portable radio and torch with spare batteries • Sturdy gloves • Essential medication and prescriptions • Mobile phone, charger and a power bank • Important documents in sealed bags • Cash • Baby formula and nappies • Toiletries.

“There are three simple steps to ensure your household or business is prepared for extreme events.

“Step one is to have an emergency plan in place. Step two is to pack supplies – pack your emergency and evacuation kits – and step three is to make sure your insurance has adequate coverage and is up-to-date.

“What we know is that neighbourhoods who are aware of their risks in a disaster and connected to their local community are more likely to be able to respond, help each other, and quickly recover.”

While it’s vital to be prepared for all types of disasters, Mayor Jamieson says the current La Niña forecast means the community needs to be especially aware of storms and possible flash flooding.

“It’s looking like a very wet storm season,” Mayor Jamieson said.

For more information visit getready.qld. gov.au and council’s Disaster Hub website at disaster.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au. Sign sign to the Coast Alert notification service by downloading the Sunshine Coast Council app on your smart device.

An evacuation kit is for times where it becomes unsafe to stay at home: • Blanket • Sleeping bag • Pillow • Warm clothes • Kid’s toys/entertainment • Valuables and mementos • Essential medication and prescriptions • Mobile phone, charger and a power bank • Important documents and cash, • Disinfectant wipes • Baby formula and nappies • Toiletries including tissues, hand sanitiser and face masks.

MY OPINION

40/40 VISION

HOW TO DO VEGEMITE RIGHT

Phil Smith says the Coast has become a magnet for creatives and our cultural identity will blossom with more investment in the arts.

Sami Muirhead desperately wants to win a Vegeknife, which she believes is the best invention since sliced bread.

W

ho loves Vegemite? Well, a game changer is out that would make my life so much better. Introducing the Vegeknife. Those crafty people at Vegemite have invented a double-headed knife that allows you to spread butter with one end of the knife and Vegemite with the other end. Genius. It eliminates cross contamination and cuts down on dishes.

I need one. I want one. My heart has been searching for the Vegeknife my whole life and I did not even know it.

I mean, it is the pits when you get Vegemite in the butter container and those pesky crumbs from the burnt toast end up going in the butter and the Vegemite and it is one big ugly mess. But this little utensil is going to make my heart fulfilled. There is a big catch of course. You can only win the damn knife. You can’t buy it.

In just two days of holding the competition to give away a lousy 200 Vegeknives, the company received 25,000 entries from losers such as myself. Why has this amazing invention never been released before?

We have a see-through toaster, which I think is brilliant. We have a dog bowl that can fill itself with water when it runs dry.

And we have all sorts of crazy watches that tell you how many steps you have walked and can send messages to friends and even read your heart rate, but we do not have

the best thing of all: a knife to stop the black spread mingling with the butter.

You see, Vegemite has a special place in my heart. I was raised on the stuff in the ’80s, when white bread and Vegemite was my lunch every day. Mum threw in an apple and a roll-up and every so often I was allowed a sausage roll from the tuckshop. I never dreamed of asking for what my kids have for lunch: sushi, dried apricots, cous cous, celery sticks. All served in tiny little square compartments in their bamboo organic hipster style lunchboxes that are housed in chiller boxes with ice bricks. The lunchbox chore is something I dread most nights. But when I give my kids a Vegemite or jam sandwich? They love it. Why am I knocking myself out trying to make lunches worthy of Jamie Oliver?

When I turned 40, my hubby swept me away to Paris to fulfill a lifelong dream of swooning over the Eiffel Tower. We had an amazing meal in the French landmark.

But the best meal of my life? My sister came to the hospital after a rocky labour with my first baby and made me a cup of tea and Vegemite toast. I will never forget how good it tasted.

I think my chances of winning the new knife are pretty slim. But I have a fun Friday night planned for the family. We are going to make shivs with two blades, just like they do in jail. What could go wrong? Wish us luck!

T

he last 40 years has seen the Sunshine Coast creative sector form itself. It has emerged from an arts and crafts community with a small collection of practicing and part-time artists, initially driven by our first waves of retirees. They crafted our audiences, fundraised and built venues and largely laid our – now ageing – foundational arts infrastructure.

Significant population growth, lifestyle drivers and technology have bought demographic change. We’ve begun to listen our First Nations people as keepers of knowledge and local story and now celebrate the important work of our Indigenous artists. We now have a rich array of nationally recognised visual artists, producers, architects, ceramicists and musicians living on the Coast.

Australian Research Council and QUT Research Centre have identified the Sunshine Coast as one of this country’s ‘classic regional hotspots’ for cultural and creative activity. This research recognises the value in the recent broadening of the arts sector into a broader cultural and creative community. It’s hard to exist anywhere in Australia as an artist, but it is starting to feel like we have a viable and autonomous creative scene here.

In the last 10 years, entrepreneurial artists of all ages have settled on the

Coast, returning back home or choosing to stay here. They are networking locally, while building online platforms and collaborating internationally.

Like the last 40 years, the next 40 years will be defined by the change of population growth. By 2040, the combined population of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast (currently approximately 410,000) is projected to peak at around 680,000. Our community will be more culturally diverse, our cities and villages will be better connected and hopefully our landscape and supporting ecosystems will be healthier. As it has been throughout every cultural renaissance in history, these conditions are perfect for cultivating a rich arts and cultural life.

But to capitalise on these conditions we will need to more than double our current investment in the arts. In a time when politicians see the arts as ‘nonessential’ services, this will mean a shift from government investment to increased community, philanthropic and business investment in the arts. Our local superstar artists will reinvest their capital in developing local artists and new businesses, but they will continue to explore ideas and celebrate people and life. And if we all embrace our own creativity, then over the next 40 years, our community should have developed sense of who we are and our place in the world.

The moon is your power planet, so many sensitive crabs feel particularly emotionally volatile around the time of the full moon. This week’s full moonbeams are in earthy, sturdy Taurus, so you’ll feel more grounded (and less moody) than usual.

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

Expect some dramatic disruptions at home or work as unpredictable Uranus opposes your ruler the sun.

Plus, Mercury and Mars are both still retrograde, so stop complaining! It’s time to buckle down and tackle jobs you’ve put on the backburner.

Courtesy of retrograde Mercury, you could encounter problems with a stressed relative or a neurotic neighbour. You need to backtrack, unscramble your antennae and articulate your true intentions in a careful and compassionate way.

Expect a week of topsy-turvy extremes. Venus shifts into Libra, which boosts your charming and tactful nature. However, with Mercury reversing through your sign and Mars retro in your relationship zone, you’re going to need those diplomatic skills!

Mercury is still reversing through your sign, so a personal project or a close relationship could suddenly stall – or even go backwards! Don’t waste precious time worrying and stressing about it. Instead, be a patient Scorpio as you reflect, revise and re-evaluate.

NEW STEM SPACE ENHANCING LEARNING

F

or many years, Pacific Lutheran College has been intentional in employing a rich, contemporary educational approach that supports differentiated learning contexts and this has included a commitment to transforming physical learning spaces.

This year, a Year 6–12 STEM innovation area was created between the existing science facilities at the college.

The area has quickly become a hive of activity, with staff and students making full use of the space to explore the STEM curriculum. The flexibility of

the design means that learning can quickly change between collaborative or student/teacher directed experiences in small or large groups.

This semester, Year 9 STEM students have been constructing underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROV) that are designed to solve real life problems.

All students had the opportunity to pitch their designs and costings to the college principal, Head of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and class teacher.

From these, two were selected for students to build collaboratively in teams over the coming months. The first ROV is a micro pipe inspector with cameras and lights and the second is a device to recover lost nuclear weapons with a Geiger counter to measure radio activity.

Students undertake all aspects of the construction themselves, including cutting materials, soldering and testing circuits. Throughout the project, students’ understanding is strengthened through Pacific’s industry partnership with Praesidium Global, which provides

them with a deeper insight into the place and nature of STEM thinking from a global industry perspective.

EXPLAINING STEM

CREATING YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

T

oday, more than ever, innovation and entrepreneurship are a fundamental part of education.

At Immanuel Lutheran College, staff in the Design Innovation and Business Department teach the leaders of tomorrow how to think creatively and critically, developing a growth mindset for future success.

Utilising a hands-on, project-based

learning approach to innovation and entrepreneurship, students in Years 7 and 8 study an integrated curriculum split into two project streams, Business Design and Technology, and Culinary and Textile Design.

“In Year 7, students become entrepreneurs of their own restaurant business being profiled in a magazine for customers of the hospitality industry.

Students design and create everything from branding and logo to a meal off the menu, a textile project and engineering projects for food service and decor. Using the laser cutter to realise their interior decor design item is always a highlight for students,” says Head of Design Innovation and Business, Amy Thompson.

“In Year 8, with a focus on sustainability, students establish a self-sufficient tiny home business for overnight stays. They explore how technology drives innovation across the tourism and design sectors and create an interactive website or mobile application to profile their tiny home design, their retreat catering service and their sustainable living and business practices.”

“All activities are designed to embed and extend digital literacy and 21st century skills that complement learning in other areas, all examples of Immanuel’s progressive and innovative approach to teaching and learning,” says Ms Thompson.

Immanuel Lutheran believes our young people should be taught how to think and behave innovatively, and the curriculum has been written with innovation and entrepreneurship in mind.

Introduction STEM education refers collectively to the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics disciplines. As future innovators, educators, researchers and leaders, it is important that students develop the skills required to compete on a global scale. The National STEM school education strategy 2016–2026 (Education Council, 2015) aims to improve STEM education by lifting foundational skills in mathematical, scientific and technological literacy, together withskills such as problem-solving, critical analysis and creative thinking.

STEM literacy involves the use of foundational knowledge It may involve: • identifying issues and problems • posing questions • providing explanations • drawing evidence-based conclusions • creating solutions.

STEM capabilities are the ways of thinking about STEM issues and problems. STEM is part of everyday life and an increasing part of every workplace.

STEM education enables students to develop solutions to complex problems and provides them with literacies and capabilities that will help them succeed in a world of technological change.

NEW LEARNER PROFILE GRAMMAR STUDENTS BOOSTS POTENTIAL OFF TO A FLYING START

A S

tudents from Years 7 to 12 at Matthew Flinders Anglican College are becoming expert at identifying their personal skills, strengths, challenges and interests as part of a new learning program introduced this year.

The Learner Profile program at Flinders guides students to discover the ways they learn best and the barriers they need to overcome to reach their potential.

Flinders’ Head of Analytics and Academic Performance, Mr Greg Blanch says the new Learner Profile program was part of the College’s proactive approach to quality teaching and learning. “Commencing this year, every secondary school student at Flinders is working through a variety of validated, research-based surveys to discover their personal learner profile,� Mr Blanch says. “The surveys are focused on each of the 21st century skills of communication, collaboration, creativity, citizenship, character and critical thinking; known as the Flinders Traits,� he says. “Once students receive the survey

results, they use information sheets that outline the characteristics of each domain to set their own improvement goals. “The next step is for students to join one of the many co-curricular clubs or opportunities at Flinders that will directly enable them to achieve their goals. “For example, if a student’s goal is to improve their communication competency and build social skills, they might decide to join one of our creative arts clubs and act on stage in a musical production. “If citizenship is a strength, they could choose to join one of our community service groups at Flinders and initiate a fundraising campaign to benefit a local charity. “The aim of our Learner Profile program is to help students understand that excellence in learning and life relies upon more than exam results and ATAR numbers. To reach your potential and enjoy a successful future, it’s also important to build your personal character and competencies, and contribute to a better world.�

full class of 21 Sunshine Coast Grammar School students were excited to participate in the new Certificate in Engineering and Aviation pathway on offer this year. The ‘Skills Generation Build and Fly a Drone Project’ was offered to students wanting to obtain knowledge and experience in a broad range of engineering disciplines. We chatted to the head of design technology, Craig Ebneter, about the introduction of this pathway.

What has driven the introduction of this new certificate? The Certificate II in Engineering Pathways is a new initiative at Grammar for Year 10 students to gain an industry-based skill set relevant to many trade occupations. Upon successful completion of the year-long course, students will obtain a nationally recognised qualification and have the option of pursuing the Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot) in Years 11 and 12.

What will students be required to do to complete the certificate? There are practical and theoretical components that each student must undertake with the theory assessed online. Students are completing units of work such as Working in a Team, Using Electric Welding Machines, Occupational Health and Safety in a Work Environment, and Pull-Apart and Reassemble Engineering Mechanisms.

From a practical viewpoint, the students are required to mark out, construct and weld a metal project, design and construct their own project, and build, configure and fly a drone. Students are able to keep this drone when they complete the course.

Craig Ebneter How will this help students in the real world once completed? After completing the Certificate II in Engineering Pathways there are immediate opportunities for employment in the vocational, engineering, and technical fields and areas. With this qualification, students may also be able to undertake further vocational training at Certificate III level and then follow a university pathway. If the candidate follows the Grammar School pathway and completes Certificate III in Aviation, employment in the ever-expanding drone industry is a distinct possibility. There are avenues for employment for fully trained, licensed drone pilots in a wide range of fields including the media, photography, real estate, builders, surveyors, farmers, surf lifesaving, surveillance, power line inspection, underwater investigation, law enforcement, and the military.

Growing people to make a difference.

AFFORDABLE LIVING BOOST THROUGH BUILD-TO-RENT Build-to-rent projects in Brisbane may provide a blueprint for similar affordable housing on the Sunshine Coast. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

I

gnition strategies for the residential building industry are coming thick and fast including the Queensland government’s recent Build-To-Rent pilot project announcement.

Build-to-rent is where developers build apartment blocks, not to sell but solely to rent. It is an affordable housing strategy already seen in the USA and UK, trialled in Sydney and Melbourne, and soon to appear in Brisbane’s CBD fringe suburbs Fortitude Valley and Newstead.

Urban Development Institute of Australia Queensland CEO Kirsty ChessherBrown believes that with future demand, the same type of housing project may be built on the Sunshine Coast.

The Brisbane pilot project developers Frasers Property Australia and Mirvac will construct 750 apartments across two high-rise complexes with occupancy planned by 2023. Within the two complexes 240 apartments will be provided at a discount rent of about 20 per cent below the median rent for the area.

This dwelling type provides secure, long-term rental accommodation for tenants who are unlikely to qualify for social housing, but still need affordable

living options.

Minister Grace Grace says, “We will meet part of the rent cost for the affordable homes to allow a discounted market rate to be offered to eligible tenants like health and emergency service workers.”

Unlike build-to-buy projects, which need to secure a majority of individual apartment pre-sales before commencing construction, the residential development

“The build-to-rent model has some real benefits around the type of amenity offered”

is held by the developer for about 20 years.

For this pilot project the owners will be Frasers and Mirvac.

“It gets people into the inner city and gives them the opportunity to rent close to where they work, gives them access to higher frequency public transport and employment,” Ms Chessher-Brown says.

“The build-to-rent model (also) has some real benefits around the type of amenity that is offered in those buildings.”

These amenities include communal areas such a swimming pool and shared barbecue facilities, which people may have had if they were living in a detached house.

The first stage of the pilot project will be used to test different locations and build-to-rent models. “Then I expect it will be an asset class that will form part of our future cities,” Ms Chessher-Brown says.

Employment opportunities, institutional investment interest and available holdings will drive build-to-rent in regional cities.

“The Sunshine Coast’s strong interest and emerging track record in education and health would be two industries that I think will drive the demand for this type of product,” Ms Chessher-Brown adds.

Bulldogs plan to repeat season success next year at home

T

he feeling is almost bittersweet for coach Jordan Meads and his team from Beerwah rugby league, as they earn their maiden premiership win in the Brisbane Division 1 competition after the Sunshine Coast division was permanently cancelled due to COVID-19.

The Bulldogs broke a 41-year premiership drought after defeating Redlands 34-08 in the Brisbane Division 1 grand final last weekend.

It was the first trophy to be poised on the club’s dusty trophy cabinet since forming in 1971.

“To be honest, it probably hasn’t sunk in as much as it will over the next couple of weeks, but it’s a massive achievement and massive thing for us,” says Mr Meads.

“We’re over the moon and I know the club are.

“I’ve seen so many tears in the last couple of days and it just makes it all worthwhile.”

He says the Bulldogs have plenty of support down south and celebrated the victory in style back at the club that night.

“We got back and there were hundreds of people waiting for us at the club, so you could see how much it meant for the

community, and the boys were just over the moon.”

Their success followed a rollercoaster year, with Rugby League Sunshine Coast pulling the pin on getting an A-grade season off the ground due to COVID-19.

However, not giving up, the Bulldogs explored their options and were eventually granted a spot in the Brisbane Division 1 league in late July.

Now with silverware honours to their name, Mr Meads says he’s eager to see the Bulldogs push on and achieve the feat in home territory.

“Everyone knows that the first one

(premiership) is the hardest,” he says.

“We’re under no illusions that we will be the hunted next year, which is perfectly fine for us.

“But, we will enjoy this moment and spend a couple of weeks enjoying it with the community and then we will focus on 2021.

“By all means, the job is not done and we will be ready to roll come March next year.”

The Bulldogs have featured in three Coast grand finals, their latest attempt involving a heartbreaking loss against Maroochydore in 2018.

“And I want my damn respect, too.”

Anthony Davis had 19 points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers, who dealt with the enormous anguish that followed the death of the iconic Bryant in January and all the challenges that came with leaving home for three months to play at Walt Disney World in a bubble designed to keep inhabitants safe from coronavirus.

“All we wanted to do was do it for him,” Davis says. “And we didn’t let him down ... I know he’s looking down on us, proud of us.”

For the first time since Kobe Bryant’s fifth and final title a decade ago, the Lakers are NBA champions. James had 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Lakers beat the Miami Heat 106–93 on Sunday night to win the NBA Finals in six games.

Ex-NRL stars and Bronco legends are motivating and inspiring young Coast Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to fulfil their potential by paying a visit to Nambour State College last week.

The Beyond Broncos mentoring program, launched at the college, plans to raise school attendance rates and year 12 attainment statistics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students by providing support, encouragement and motivation.

Former Brisbane Broncos captain Justin Hodges, ex-Broncos star Scott Prince, current Broncos captain Ali Brigginshaw, and newly retired Darius Boyd drive the program with the help of support officers who provide day-to-day mentoring and support to inspire young people to set and achieve goals.

Program facilitator Justin Hodges says the program gives kids an opportunity to grow and believe in themselves.

“It gives them another element in terms of someone to talk to, especially our young Indigenous kids, who are very shy,” he says.

“When we went to school we didn’t have anything like this, we were isolated on your own and things didn’t get done because you got shy and didn’t want to come to school.

“So we are just trying to create pathways for our kids and make sure they come to school and get a good education.

“The outside world is not nice, it’s hard so it’s good for them to finish … and also be successful in their own right and try and be a leader in their community and inspire others to get out there and chase their dreams.”

Year 9 student Zarley Hodges says having his idols visit the school is “really inspiring”.

“It’s good to have them a part of the family, I would love to be a professional player one day, NRL is my dream,” says Zarley.

Nambour State College head of campus Matthew Bradley says the program provides a remarkable opportunity for students and the community.

Buderim Men’s Shed team leader Angus Ross and president Barry Cheales

Life’s good in Buderim shed WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

O

ne year on from moving into its permanent custom-built location, Buderim Men’s Shed is thriving.

Starting in 2011 with 20 men, the shed now has more than 300 members who regularly gather to participate in meaningful activities or simply have a

cuppa and a chat.

President Barry Cheales says he is “tickled pink” with how the shed has thrived in such a short period of time, moving from its temporary location on Mill Road to its new Kuluin site.

“We are absolutely delighted to have made that achievement in such a short

LOCALNEWS@MYWEEKLYPREVIEW.COM.AU

time,” Mr Cheales says. “Now I look back and just over a year [before] we had a brand-new facility, the grounds were bare dirt, the buildings were empty, and now it is a thriving shed.”

The $2 million, three-building complex was built on a one-hectare quarry at Advance Road and became a reality thanks to extensive internal and community fundraising, as well as a federal grant secured in 2017.

Buderim Men’s Shed was also named Shed of the Year in 2019 through the Australia Men’s Shed Association.

“We put the application in on the basis of community engagement and diversity within our group,” Mr Cheales says, adding the award is confirmation “we are doing the right things, so we are very happy about that”.

Mr Cheales says the value the shed has on the lives of its members is priceless.

“Men’s sheds are all about men’s health and it’s fairly intrinsic how you look at that. The blokes do come down and they meet other blokes and all of a sudden they have a new meaning of life.”

Members participate in wood, metal, glass and leather work, gardening and music groups, social events and a regular gym circuit.

Handmade goods are sold from the shed’s shop in the Buderim Mall on Burnett Street.

Bloomhill is caring for kids

T

he impact of a family member going through cancer treatment can be significant on a child, and one Sunshine Coast charity is hoping to fill a gap in the need for a dedicated program to help them through.

Bloomhill Cancer Care is looking to kick-start a nationally unique communityhealth service to support children of parents and guardians with cancer.

The program would offer supportive care tailored to assist families with younger children, particularly aged six to 12 years, to help them navigate this complex and emotional experience.

Bloomhill clinical services manager Trish Wilson says a $7991 grant from the Buderim Foundation is kicking off the project to help purchase equipment, library resources and consumables

needed to establish a family cancer care and play therapy program at its Wellness Centre in Buderim.

“Engaging in individual or group play therapy allows children to experience a sense of control and participate in positive and fun interactions with peers and facilitators, all which help develop insights and skills into managing difficult or challenging thoughts, feelings and relationships,” Ms Wilson says.

Part of the funds will also go towards a school holiday kids connect program designed to allow children facing similar situations to share fun and experiences together.

A further $8000 from local business Stream Financial will help establish a counsellor who can offer free family and children’s counselling, including grief and bereavement for those facing a terminal diagnosis in the family.

A vibrant mural depicting butterflies, wildlife and tropical gardens is being commissioned for Bloomhill’s client therapy garden to commemorate the launch of the program. “Local artist Mark Barnas is donating his time to create a bespoke and vibrant mural specifically for this project,” Ms Wilson says.

Each panel of the mural is up for sponsorship to help support the program.

Future thinkers get a taste of city design

Matthew Flinders students

S

tudents from Matthew Flinders Anglican College have designed a new world-class city from the ground up.

In partnership with Queensland University of Technology Design Lab and experts in design, the college hosted a

Design for Impact Summit on October 6 and 7. The summit involved Year five and six students as part of a design thinking immersion experience, inspired by real-life city planning.

The city planning challenge is based on real demographic data, noting the

Sunshine Coast as one of the fastest growing regions in Australia; the majority of the world’s population live in cities; and by 2050 it is estimated three quarters of the world’s population will live in cities.

“The Design for Impact Summit challenged our students to look at the world differently,” head of primary Trudi Edwards says.

“Working in collaborative teams, our students were asked to be future thinkers.

Their task was to imagine, design and prototype a smart, healthy, happy and sustainable Maroochydore City Centre for 2050.

During the summit, each student team was given a large-scale three-dimensional cardboard cut-out of a different precinct as part of the greater city to design and construct.

The students’ work was disrupted when various expert consultants and leaders in the community virtually presented issues. The students were challenged to understand and respond to the issues as they designed and constructed their city precinct. The learnings from the event help fine tune the process to involve more students in 2021.

Buderim students offer road-safety lessons With more than 1000 students travelling to and from Buderim Mountain State School (BMSS) each day, road safety is paramount.

To help share this message to the wider school community, students became teachers to deliver a series of road safety videos.

BMSS principal Neil Jenkins says the school has been at its present location since 1887 and in recent years, the community has grown significantly.

He says with the assistance of a grant from the Queensland Government’s Community Road Safety Grants Scheme, the school’s P&C was able to commission the Lessons in Road Safety videos.

BMSS P&C vice-president Terry Colless says every school day there are approximately 650 cars approaching the school to drop off and pick up students.

“We wanted to provide information to parents about how to use our drop zones more safely and efficiently as well as educate parents, children and the community about road courtesy and safety behaviours everyone could adopt to make the community safer for everyone,” Mr Colless says.

Mr Colless says talented Year five and six students took on the role of teachers to present the videos and encourage all students to remind their parents and other

66 My Weekly Preview | October 22, 2020

66.indd 1

adults in the community to do the right thing. “The students were great – they made great teachers and TV presenters for the project,” Mr Colless says.

“Lots of students and parents also volunteered to be involved, and vision of them demonstrating along with animations were used to provide additional information via classroom whiteboards.”

Mr Colless hopes the videos will prompt more efficient and safer use of the school’s drop zones, while giving everyone more ideas about different ways to get to school safely.

The six videos were produced by Buderim’s Reflected Image PRoductions and can be watched at buderim mountainss.eq.edu.au.

This project will launch the revitalisation Mooloolaba Foreshore parklands, which was last significantly redeveloped in the mid-1990s.

Stage one Northern Parkland is a joint initiative of council and Queensland Government. The project supports our healthy lifestyle, with a new accessible boardwalk linking Alexandra Headland and Mooloolaba. A viewing platform with seating will be constructed, along with a sheltered barbecue area and a dedicated open space for the community to come together and connect with nature.

When complete, the Northern Parkland will provide a wonderful destination for locals and visitors and will ensure Mooloolaba remains a competitive holiday destination.

I would like to thank the local community and visitors for their understanding and patience while we build this essential upgrade for the future benefit of our Mooloolaba. More information about the project can be found on the project website sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/MFR. New Mooloolaba multi-deck car park Construction on the new Mooloolaba 700-space multi-deck car park is progressing on schedule. The new eight-storey car park is scheduled for completion in December, weather and site conditions permitting. All spaces are intended to be available from the opening date.

The next few months of works will be extensive as we make the push to the finish line. The works will include road works, service installations and streetscaping on First Avenue, Smith Street and at the intersection of Muraban Street and Smith Street.

STEMM program now on state honour roll

STEMM educators and the young women they support

WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

T

he Supporting Teenagers with Education, Mentoring and Mothering (STEMM) program run out of Burnside State High School has been recognised for the work it does in helping young women impacted by domestic violence.

The program is named on the state

government’s Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Honour Roll, something co-ordinators Janelle Logan and Jacqui Deane hope will allow them to continue this vital service to young women.

“The honour is in recognition of an organisation’s action to prevent domestic

and family violence and raise awareness and support for people impacted by it in Queensland,” Ms Logan says.

“I think it’s a great honour that will help us continue to get funding for the program and it will also give confidence to other young women who wish to enrol in the program to come to this safe space where they will be supported.”

STEMM caters for young mothers and pregnant women aged from 13 to 24 to integrate back into education and support life outcomes for themselves and their children. “We break the cycle of poverty and abuse and break the welfare cycle,” Ms Logan says.

With 26 women currently enrolled, Ms Deane says an alarming proportion are directly affected by domestic violence.

“Statistically, about 85 per cent of our young women live in domestic violence,” Ms Deane says. “Of course, then 85 per cent of our children are also living in that.”

“We work to empower them to get independence so that they can get free of those domestic violence relationships.”

“We are able to provide a safe space here for them, they feel comfortable enough to disclose what is actually happening in their lives.”

The first months’ reporting showed 75 per cent of what was redeemed was spent on essential services such as the fuel station, IGA, the vet, the tax accountant, the mower shop, the tyre shop.

Last month, cafes, restaurants and gift shops were benefiting. Nearly half our registered businesses have benefited from the program.

With Christmas nearly on our doorstep, the load-up value will increase and more local mum and dad businesses will benefit.

If you think your community could benefit from a local EFTPOS-based gift card email president@maleny commerce.org.au.

Montville Village Hall is set to come alive with the sound of chamber music with the venue to host a concert on November 1.

Brisbane-based Ensemble Trivium will take to the stage performing music by Beethoven, Reger, Devienne and Rolla.

“What a joy to be able to perform live again and what better way to celebrate Brisbane’s Ensemble Trivium return to the stage than with a gorgeous program of uplifting and refreshing chamber music for flute, violin and viola,” flautist and artistic director Monika Koerner (pictured) says.

Baby and kids market this weekend The next Sunny Coast Baby and Kids Market is set to go ahead in Mountain Creek this weekend with several new and used goods for sale.

The markets give parents who no longer need baby clothes or furniture, such as portable cots and highchairs, a chance to re-sell them, in turn giving new parents a one-stop shop for inexpensive items.

“All these things add up to a lot of money for clothing and highchairs and it doesn’t need to be brand new,”

organiser Suzel Doughty says.

“It’s great for grandparents too. You can buy a highchair to have at their place.”

The market is also an opportunity for locals to sell handmade baby items.

Ms Doughty says most stallholders are mothers who have struggled through COVID and are trying to bounce their businesses back.

The next market is on October 25 at Mountain Creek Primary School, entry is $2 for adults.

Lions Club raffle raises thousands for foundation WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

M

embers of Maroochy North Shore Lions Club had a busy September using the power of the humble raffle ticket to raise money and awareness for the Lions Cord Blood Foundation.

The club’s Jen Somerville’s says this was Maroochy North Shore Lions Club’s first time supporting the cause, spending the month speaking to locals outside White’s IGA in Bli Bli. “Our ticket sellers spent Thursdays and Saturdays talking to the public about cord blood and Lions, and in fact tickets sold out ahead of our projected date thanks to a very generous community,” Ms Somerville says.

“Michael White, the owner of White’s IGA Bli Bli, was extremely happy to jump on board and support our club with a generous [$500 voucher] towards groceries.

“Maroochy North Shore Lions were grateful the community were behind this wonderful project not only buying tickets but also donating to the cause.”

From its sales, the club donated $8000

myweeklypreview.com.au

to the Lions Cord Blood Foundation and $600 to the Bli Bli Rural Fire Brigade.

The Lions Cord Blood Foundation began in 1996 and has raised more than $2.3 million for the Fight Cancer Foundation (formerly Bone Marrow Donor Institute) to distribute to the Cord Blood Bank.

Cord blood is collected from the umbilical cord and placenta after birth and can be used as an alternative to bone marrow transplants. The stem cell technology can help reduce the impact of diseases like leukaemia as well as heart, liver, nerve, muscle, lung and pancreatic conditions. The cost of retrieval, testing and storage of a single successful cord is more than $4000.

Ms Somerville says throughout the year the local club is always involving itself in community projects to improve the lives of others and welcomes new members.

“Our club has a number of wonderful projects we support, as well as working to assist where we can on the coast and our own community.”

Reborn Yandina QCWA calling for members

D

espite a rocky past, Yandina’s Queensland Country Women’s Association is once again flourishing.

Established in 1929, Yandina QCWA thrived for many years until 1991 when member numbers dwindled, forcing the branch’s closure.

In 2015, Yandina local Lynda Tomkins was looking to become involved in the community and noticed the old post office in Stevens Street had been purchased by the QCWA Nambour-North Coast division.

Ms Tomkins,and other interested women, saw it as the perfect opportunity to re-establish a branch using the building as its base. Supported by the division, they reformed the Yandina QCWA in the empty building. Today the Yandina membership stands at 24, with Ms Tomkins recently handing over the reins to new president Maureen Brook.

During the COVID period, Ms Brook started sending photos and positive messages instead of the branch’s regular morning tea catch ups and meetings.

“Early on during COVID everyone was feeling isolated,” she says. “We made sure we stayed in communication via email, phone and letters.”

“I started by emailing a photo of my morning cuppa and a message of things I was grateful for, and I invited others to reply and talk about what they were doing and enjoying.”

Ms Brook says the QCWA Yandina Branch is about friendship and support,

learning new skills and helping others.

“QCWA is not for profit, non-sectarian and non-political,” she says.

The Yandina branch has meetings at 9.30am on the fourth Friday of the month at the QCWA Division Hall on Stevens Street. Anyone is welcome to attend.

David Low Way wildlife deaths Recent data from July 2019 to September 2020 is shining a light on the amount of local wildlife being killed along David Low Way. Records from Coolum and North Shore Coast Care reports in 2020 alone eight swamp wallabies, one eastern grey kangaroo, three bandicoots, two ringtail possums and an echidna had been killed between Coolum Beach and Marcoola.

ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS? CONFUSED? CONSTIPATED? CHRONIC FATIGUE? FOOD INTOLERANCES? DEPRESSION? Do you have bouts of anxiety, panic attacks followed by depression? Suffer from constipation alternating with diarrhoea? Have you noticed your memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be and you’re often confused? Do you feel worse after exercise, inflamed muscles and joints and just flat out exhausted?

Did you know, this can all be caused from the bacteria that live in your gut.

When you look in the mirror, you may not realise but you are a home for a dynamic population of microbes/bacteria that are so large in number they make up their own organism, (for every one human cell there are 10 of them.) Everyone’s bacterial environment is unique to them and these bacteria are crucial to the manufacturing of important nutrients like CoQ10 and folate for energy production and essential neurotransmitters that regulate digestive function as well as keeping us calm, relaxed and thinking clearly (focused).

However if the balance of this bacteria is disrupted or you started life with more of the bad bacteria that causes immune

dysregulation, muscle fatigue, aches and pains, confusion and anxiety attacks, no amount of medication will give you lasting results until you correct the balance.

This is not as simple as eating yogurt every morning. Not all probiotics are the same and some can actually be adding to the problem.

Through specialised testing, identifying the bacteria’s you need to reduce and increase, it’s then easy to make a huge impact on the health of your gut environment and have you moving quickly back to feeling calm, in control, exercising, energised and taking on life again.

If you would like to find out more about your health concerns, call for your free half hour consultation at Coolum Naturopathic where we can discuss all of your options.

udjimba Community Kindergarten is looking for volunteers to help with a range of jobs in the centre.

Director Donna Farman says the range of roles will help enrich the learning environment for their young learners.

“We are expanding our community involvement and would love to invite people who have a love of children and

can commit to attending our kindy on the same day or days each week.

“We have lots fun and are very welcoming.”

Ms Farman says the kindy is registered with Centrelink for those transitioning into retirement and looking to give some spare time to the community.

If you are interested email director@ mudjimbakindy.com.au or call 5448 7366.

To open with, I want to give a shout out to coach Kylee Byrne and our fourth-time finalists Sunshine Coast Lightning! I’m so proud that they made it this far and congratulate them for stepping up in such intense conditions. Well done team!

We’ve got some great news, with the Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex being crowned the winner of the Ken Gannon Community Football Facilities Award. The national award recognises best practice in community football facility development across Australia. The complex is home to 11,500 people in the

local football community including the mighty Maroochydore Roos who cater for a wide range of ages across men, women and junior comps, so this is a huge accolade for this community facility.

Looking after our community is a group effort, and now is a great time to join a local working bee. We are calling for volunteers to look after your local Maroochy River – Mudjimba Foreshore Bushland Conservation Reserve with the Twin Waters Dune Protection Group.

Formed in 1996, this group is one of council’s longest standing active BushCare groups. The working bee is on the third Monday of the month, from 8am to 10am.

In Maroochydore, you can volunteer to look after your local Trail Park Bushland Reserve, with the Trail Park BushCare Group. The working bee is on the third Thursday of the month, from 8am to 10am. Register at council’s website.

The Bradman Avenue Maroochy River Foreshore Project is going full steam. On recent inspection, new facilities including picnic tables, a water bubbler, bike racks and a shower has been installed near the most popular swimming area. They were ready to pour 200 metres of the new threemetre wide coastal pathway and expect to be ready for the start of summer season.

See you around division eight!

Sunshine Coast Council and QFES helping local retirees get disaster ready Sunshine Coast Council and the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) is partnering with Aveo Peregian Springs Retirement Country Club to ensure it is prepared for extreme weather events.

Mayor Mark Jamieson says last year’s September Peregian fire storm was a moment in time the community will always remember.

“Council and QFES officers visited Aveo Peregian Springs, which caters for active retirees, in late October last year to present a seminar to residents and have continued to work closely with the community’s Emergency Management Working Group,” Mayor Jamieson says.

“Council provided three starter emergency kits to the working group to use as prizes and encourage as many members of their community as possible to start preparing.”

The kits include a radio and torch, first aid kit, whistle, pliers, gloves, lantern, power bank, planning resources and other items to assist in an emergency event.

“Council will continue to partner with

emergency services, the aged-care sector and retirement community residents to ensure our senior citizens are well cared for during a disaster.”

Aveo Peregian Springs Emergency Management Working Group convener Peter Wright says the group was created following their experience with last year’s bushfire.

“We learnt a valuable lesson about being prepared for such emergencies in the future,” he says. “We have had great support from the council’s Lynda Williams [disaster resilience officer] and Julie Bruynius [community engagement officer North Coast region] from the QFES. “We also have had valuable support from Aveo, which has committed funds for us to purchase equipment such as two-way radios and loud hailers.”

In mid-2019, the council partnered with the Sunshine Coast District Disaster Management Group to hold an Aged Care in Disaster Management Forum, which focused on assisting aged-care providers to plan for disasters.

Eumundi’s Imperial Hotel reveals CoVibes 4 line-up

F

Emily Wurramara

ollowing the sell-out shows of CoVibes 1, 2 and 3, The Imperial Hotel Eumundi has announced CoVibes 4 will take place on Saturday, November 28, with Emily Wurramara set to take to the stage in The Brewery.

Originally from Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory, growing up, Ms Wurramara loved hearing her uncles sing, but realised women from her community rarely sang in public.

Wanting to inspire and empower members of her community, especially young Indigenous women, to find their voice, she embarked on a musical journey that has touched the hearts and minds of audiences across Australia and internationally.

Her debut album received an ARIA nomination and AIR (Australian Independent Records) award for Best Blues and Roots Album.

She is a six-times Queensland Music Award winner and has toured extensively across Australia, Canada and Ireland.

Also performing on the night is Volcanic Lovers and Jem CassarDaley. Made up of old school friends and sweethearts, Gold Coast hinterland-based Volcanic Lovers blend their influences in Afro-Latin rhythms with their love of rich harmony and heartfelt storytelling, with a sound likened to a blend of Fat Freddy’s Drop, Jamiroquai and Paul Simon.

Brisbane-based singer songwriter Jem Cassar-Daley has a captivating stage presence and plays piano across a variety of genres. Her interest in music began at a young age, inspired by artists including Missy Higgins, the Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) and Carole King.

CoVibes is an 18-plus event all about bringing live music back and celebrating local talent.

The CoVibes series is a collaboration between local artists, agencies, the Imperial Hotel and Arts Queensland.

Have your say on flight paths

Mathieu Bankes

Community action group Flight Path Forum is holding a meeting in response to the Aircraft Noise Ombudsman’s (ANO) recommendations for a Post Implementation Review of the Sunshine Coast Airport’s new flight paths.

Spokesperson Vivien Griffin says this follows the ANO’s findings against Airservices Australia (ASA) 2019 community consultation.

“This process is enormously important, as the ANO report specifically opened up the opportunity to propose alternative flight paths.”

Yandina Toastmasters president

Recently, Yandina Toastmasters members were enlightened with an education session on how to give and receive evaluations and feedback by our award-winning Toastmaster and previous club president Melinda Cornwill.

As a coach and mentor, I know the value of good constructive feedback.

However, I do remember a time in my life when I wasn’t so headstrong, when I was prone to anxiety, and when I was resistant to the challenge of personal growth.

Through repetition and a frequency of positive and constructive feedback, I’m now much more capable of actioning great feedback into positive changes in my life, and much more courageous at facing my own fears or weaknesses.

ASA has acknowledged a significant “trust deficit” with the Sunshine Coast community that it needs to rebuild.

“This is a critical opportunity for ASA to show its commitment to remedying that deficit,” Ms Griffin says.

“FPF is currently preparing a detailed response to ensure the community’s interests are adequately and appropriately provisioned for in the Terms of Reference.”

The meeting is at Peregian Beach Community House on Saturday, October 24. Book at flightpathforum.org.au.

Centre needs new home WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

A

Landsborough-based education centre helping children on the autism spectrum is desperately looking for a permanent home.

All About Autism provides learning for

primary-aged children once a week outside normal school to help them develop essential skills not always taught in mainstream classrooms.

Founder and director Lizzie Vaughan

Professional, Personal Service & Local Expertise

says it is rewarding to see the growth in her students, some of whom she has had from prep age. “What kids on the spectrum need to be successful at school is not necessarily taught,” she says. “It could be something like completing a worksheet and understanding the process of starting, continuing and finishing that task.

“We are all about accepting and upskilling.”

Ms Vaughan began the centre five years ago with six students. Now with three educators, with 40 enrolled students and more than 20 on the waitlist, she says the need is there to expand.

“We currently run out of the CWA and Girl Guide hall in Landsborough,” she says.

“It is great being able to make use of a community space, but we are desperate to have a home and to have roots.”

Ms Vaughan says it is difficult to move between the two spaces with her students requiring a more familiar routine and outdoor space. “What we do is really needed here, but we just can’t fit [more students] in.”

A six-month search to rent or buy new premises has so far been unsuccessful, and with the goal of remaining in the Landsborough area, Ms Vaughan is hoping someone in the community may know somewhere suitable for the centre.

“We need three classroom spaces, and access to an outdoor area and toilets.”

Anyone who can help can email lizzie@allaboutautism.com.au.

Cinema lovers flock to Caloundra Film Festival The 2020 Caloundra Film Festival continues this week with a diverse range of films on offer.

This year, more festival passes have been sold than in previous years, and organisers say they have had a great response to the set of films on offer.

“If you had told us this wide range of cinema would be more popular than our recent French Film Festival we might have not believed you, but that’s the way it is and it’s great we have such a strong film-loving community now in this part of the world,” a festival statement reads.

“Seating restrictions have been relaxed so extra seats are now available, which is good as not everyone can come to everything and we will be across three cinemas so there will be plenty of room.”

Caloundra Film Festival showcases the best of local and world cinema and, through the student showcase, encourages young filmmakers to provide pathways for them to fulfil their ambitions.

The festival runs until October 28 at Big Screen Cinemas in Caloundra.

new cafe is totally proving a winner as it continues to pump out piping-hot toasties from its Dicky Beach store.

Totally Toasted is the dream of

triathlete Kierra Allen, and finally came to life after international racing stopped this year. After quitting her day job to focus on racing in 2020, her plans quickly changed with this year’s challenges allowing her to focus on a new goal.

“I’ve always wanted to have a cafe,” Ms Allen says. “Racing is a no-go this year and while we can’t travel, I thought I could put a good year or two into here and getting it going.”

Since opening on September 25 with her husband Nathan, Ms Allen says people have responded well to the toasted sandwich bar, which also serves up Kai Coffee and Maleny Food Co gelato. “We are stoked,” she says. “We’ve had some really good feedback and we’ve also had people come to us with constructive feedback.”

Ms Allen says their most popular toasted sandwiches flavours are the chicken, turkey and cranberry, and the Reuben. Her sweet creations are also a hit.

“I don’t know where [the inspiration for the sweet toasties] come from; I just make them up. Everyone loves something sweet.”

Totally Toasted also caters for glutenfree and vegan diets. “We have a separate sandwich press and prep area for all our gluten-free toasties.”

Ms Allen says while racing has taken a back seat for the time being, she hopes to continue both passions into the future.

“I am not letting go of my triathlon career and goals; I’ll be just focusing on maintaining for now and racing when I can. With the help of my coach we can hopefully put together some great sessions while this big adventure takes off.”

Whites Rd residents share the love A group of farming neighbours in a Mount Mellum street who are passionate about living off the land are working together to share the fruits of their labour with the community.

The Mellum Farms came about after the three neighbours decided it was time to share their homegrown produce and plants with the rest of Landsborough.

A shack with an honestly box is located at the end of Whites Road and has so far been successful with locals.

A private Facebook page has been established so the community can see what is in stock each day. Search ‘The Mellum Farms Sunshine Coast QLD’.

LYN MOUSSALLI KAWANA

Lyn joined the One Nation Team as she knows the two major parties have forgotten our needs, as they are too focused on party politics and themselves.

Lyn is down to Earth, honest, hard working and passionate about our community. Lyn will listen to the people on the issues that are important to them.

Locals have been dropping by to take home fresh produce from The Mellum Farms

POLICE BRIEFS Youth crime has hit an all-time high around Currimundi and Wurtulla with repeat break and enter offenders leaving residents concerned and forcing others to move from the area.

“There’s been issues happening in our local neighbourhood for some time now and our community is sick and tired of it,” Member for Kawana Jarrod Bleijie says. “Juvenile justice is out of control, houses are being broken into, cars are

being stolen and enough is enough.”

Since 2016, robbery on the Sunshine Coast has increased by 121 per cent and the unlawful use of a motor vehicle has increased by 86 per cent.

Despite this, Mr Bleijie thanks local police for their continued work.

“I want to pay a big shout out to our wonderful police officers on the Sunshine Coast; they are doing a great job in very difficult circumstances.”

Lyn spent her life in the private sector with the last 20+ years spent in the Financial Services industry.

It was in March/April 2020 a neighbour of Lyn’s stated “We need people like you in politics. You are living our life and you know what we go through”.

Queensland has seen State debt rising, small business struggle, unemployment increase, crime surging, health and education are in crisis, local roads are congested, as well as the rising cost of living pressures. One Nation’s policies are liberating and will allow our people to fulfill their full potential, and help build a greater Queensland which will benefit everyone.

Ask yourself what has been delivered in our area over the past decade? What do you think will be delivered in the next 4 years?

More of the same in-action.

I will DELIVER. I will work FOR you.

I will be YOUR voice in Parliament.

Arthur Street markets a hit & set to grow

A

Market convenor Lindsay Wheeler (right) with local youth Zac who helps on his stall

fter a successful launch in September at their new home, the Arthur Street Country Markets are up and running and continue to expand the variety of stalls.

With local farm produce, fruit and vegetables, plants and handmade arts and crafts on offer, convenor Lindsay Wheeler says the markets now have abundance of jewellery, essential oils, soap, reflexology, seated massage and honey as well.

“The … core vision is to promote locally produced and handmade products,” he says. “It is an exciting prospect to work and build the market over the coming months and in the future.”

The markets are held every Sunday from 7am to midday at the Caloundra Rugby Union Club, with stallholder fees raising money for Dicky Beach Surf Life Saving Club and the rugby club.

“The market has a great feel and ambience,” Mr Wheeler says, adding that new stallholders are welcome.

Migrant women offered fun & friendship WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA A multicultural group set up for female migrants looking to overcome loneliness is continuing to grow.

Multicultural worker Stella Romagnoli saw a need for creating a support group and in 2014 founded the Global Hub at Caloundra Community Centre.

“In these years the group has gone through loss, grief, births, and all what life brings,” she says. “It is a social-support group with a high content in supporting and helping others.

“It doesn’t matter when you migrated; there are still things in common today compared to years ago.”

Ms Romagnoli says the group has women from the Philippines, Bosnia, Puerto Rico, Chile, Germany, Australia, India, Uruguay and Papua New Guinea.

The self-sufficient group, which receives no funding, held its first meeting back at the centre earlier in October, after months of gathering at parks and local cafes.

“Our first meeting back was very exciting,” Ms Romagnoli says.

“It was a really good display that the group is formed.”

Migrating from Uruguay to the

Sunshine Coast in 1997 with her husband and four children, Ms Romagnoli knows only too well the struggles of establishing yourself in a new country. “My journey was different to other migrants – I was very privileged – but it was a difficult obstacle to obtain permanent residency.

“It was seven years of not knowing.”

The Global Hub group meets every Tuesday

As part of her work, Ms Romagnoli is lobbying with various level of government to establish more support for migrants on the Sunshine Coast. She hopes other migrants, or any women who feel isolated, will join the group for a weekly bring-yourown lunch. The group meets every Tuesday from 11am to 1pm.

Cr Rick Baberowski Division one (Banya, Baringa, Beerburrum, Beerwah, Bells Creek, Bribie Island North, Caloundra West, Coochin Creek, Corbould Park, Gagalba, Glass House Mountains, Landsborough, Little Mountain, Meridan Plains, Nirimba, Peachester) I always enjoy engaging with our passionate community members and volunteers who are working to make our Sunshine Coast a better place for all.

Among the many, two such groups are the Bellvista and Bells Reach Community Association and the Landsborough School of Arts Memorial Hall.

Each month or so I head along to the Bellvista and Bells Reach Community Association committee meetings and it’s great to hear how engaged and active the committee is. Their goal is to share their community’s voice, protect their local environment, foster a sense of belonging, share information and contribute to the well-being of their community.

They also hold quarterly public meetings where everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

If you live in the Bellvista and Bells Reach community and you’re interested in joining, membership is free and new members are always welcome. You can find out more at bellvista.com.au or come along to the next public meeting on November 2 at the Bellvista Meeting Place.

In Landsborough, the dedicated Landsborough School of Arts Memorial Hall committee has worked hard over many years to secure grant funding and undertake big renovation projects at the hall.

Built in 1927, the hall is a wonderful historical asset for the Landsborough township. In the past it hosted dances and community meetings. It’s even been a picture theatre. Now, the hall hosts fitness classes, community events, church meetings and the weekly Saturday markets – a must visit if you’re in the Landsborough area. The hall is also available for hire.

I do my best to regularly attend their committee meetings to hear/discuss their progress on the refurbishments and their support of a wide program of activities in and around this lovely heritage building.

Currimundi school scores 10 nipper boards WORDS: CAITLIN ZERAFA

S

tudents at Currimundi State School have the opportunity to improve their surf skills thanks to a collaboration of community donations for their annual beach carnival.

A passionate surf life saver, Caloundra Community Bendigo Bank Branch manger Pip Fawcett organised for 10 nipper boards to be donated to the school.

“The school was so appreciative,” Ms Fawcett says. “We do whatever we can to assist with what the children do at school and their activities. We always help out with their carnival and this year we thought what do they need?”

Four boards were purchased from the Caloundra Metropolitan Surf Life Saving Club, with Dicky Beach donating six from their own nipper program.

Ms Fawcett says with the cost of a new nipper board usually around $800, she is grateful for the community coming “on board”.

Ms Fawcett also volunteers to help with water safety during the carnival and donated a marquee to keep students out of the sun. The boards were gifted to the school at a recent school assembly.

Evelyn McCorkell Rotary Club of Caloundra Pacific president

Why do people join Rotary? One of our members moved to Caloundra more than six years ago and, within a year, was widowed. Isolated from family and working from home, she felt a need to get a life. A friend invited her to our Rotary Club dinner meeting.

This new member soon learned that, for more than 110 years, Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteers have focused locally and internationally on youth development, literacy, peace, water, health, hygiene and economic projects. If you would like to visit and have the opportunity to serve our community, please feel free to call 0407 624 650 or email info@calpac.org.au.

Over the past couple of weeks, the club has been involved in the preparation and ongoing co-ordination with other local clubs for the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness program RYDA. It is delivered

by Road Safety Education Limited, a not-for-profit community initiative, delivering evidence-based road safety education programs.

The program runs over several days and is attended by Sunshine Coast year 11 students.

Edge Early Learning unveils new renovations Edge Early Learning Centre at Aroona held a wine and chess evening in October to unveil its newly renovated premises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you to all of those who joined us at our wine and cheese evening,â&#x20AC;? Edge Early Learning CEO Annie Bryce says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This community network evening was an opportunity for us to showcase our newly renovated centre and Edgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe in forming strong local community partnerships with businesses to support children and families in our wider community.â&#x20AC;?

State government invests $200,000 in fire station Caloundra Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new fire station is one step closer following a $200,000 investment by the state government to progress the design work.

Minister for Fire and Emergency Services Craig Crawford says Caloundra residents will benefit from the investment in frontline services to help keep their community safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the urban footprint continues to grow across Caloundra, we need to ensure our critical frontline services keep up,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also working closely and co-operatively with the local developer

who will be providing the required land for the fire station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our priority is to ensure that growing communities like Caloundra South have the infrastructure, personnel and resources to keep them safe, whether that be from a fire, a storm or flood, or any other emergency situation.â&#x20AC;?

The location of the Caloundra South Fire Station will be finalised through continued consultation with Economic Development Queensland, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialist land use planning function, and the local housing developer.

with MWP’s man in the water

Well, it looks like another great weekend ahead for good weather but surf – not so much. For the adventurous few, it might be time to do the trek into A-Bay, Noosa. Looks like we have well and truly hit that time of year of mushy frustrating surf, so get what you can.

My suggestion is to get on a plane and hit the urban surf pool in Victoria, but we all know how that will end Just think how lucky you are to be on the Sunshine Coast. Laters.
