AGENDA

Diverse First Nations voices heard at important forum held at Twin Waters.

M

ore than 200 people gathered for the region’s first ever First Nations SelfDetermination, Representation and Wellbeing Forum at Twin Waters.

Held in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council, the Healing Foundation and Primary Health Networks, the event was a key opportunity to forward plan with First Nations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) people while also recognising the needs and trauma experienced by past generations.

Sunshine Coast Council Senior First Nations Advisor Stephen Mam says he was pleased to see such a strong turnout.

“The forum was all about the importance of selfdetermination and representation in wellbeing. Without those two we can’t have wellbeing,” Mr Mam says.

“It’s important for the First Nations community to be active contributors in key decision-making processes.

“Last week we saw our national Close the Gap Day, which highlighted the differences between the First Nations and wider community.

“Until our old people are able to teach our young people, and our young people are able to learn from our old people, then equality has not been achieved.”

The Healing Foundation Deputy CEO Donna Burns says it was a privilege to partner with Sunshine Coast Council to deliver such an important event.

“We focus around the voices of The Stolen Generation, survivors and their descendants,” Ms Burns says.

“What we need to do is elevate the voices. We know that communities and individuals within those communities have the solutions and we know a major part of that is putting culture at the centre.

“I’d really like to see this not be put on the community to change but broader Australia to step up, become trauma aware and healing informed.”

Tribal Elder Tais K’Reala Randanpi, Donna Burns and Stephen Mam at the First Nations Self-Determination Representation and Wellbeing forum Tribal Elder Tais K’Reala Randanpi says representation at the forum by many different tribes was equally essential.

“It’s more important that the First Nation(s) people step up and do things the way they want to do,” Mr K’Reala Randanpi says.

The forum included a traditional welcome, cultural sessions and presentations by the Statement from the Heart Working Group, International Peoples Organisation and USC plus Relationships Australia’s Debra Bennet.

Sunshine Coast Council last month (March 25) unanimously endorsed its Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.For more information visit sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Living-and-Community/ Community-Support/First-Nations-Sunshine-Coast.

The Queensland government has committed half a million dollars to support a program backed by former welterweight boxing champion Jeff Horn in his fight against bullying in schools.

Horn, 33, is taking his fight outside the ring and hopes the program can help kids around Queensland who struggle with confidence and bullying, like he did as a kid.

‘The Hornet’ is the ambassador for the Australian Martial Arts Youth Development Alliance program, which focuses on teaching children self-discipline, respect and integrity.

AMAYDA has raised $175,000 for schools across Queensland and the state government has committed to a further two-year investment to support the initiative.

The program role-plays difficult situations for students and provides them with practical solutions throughout secondary school. It also has mentors in schools and the community who provide support where parents can’t.

Mr Horn says mentorship changed his outlook and hopes it can do the same for Queensland youth.

“I believe in the mentors and what they put together because it changed my life and I think it’s going to change other people’s lives,” Horn says.

“This program is all about building confidence and building leaders in our kids, and our steering them away from getting bad behaviours and making a difference in our communities.”

“It covers all different martial arts and styles, and what you can do in situations where you’re in trouble,” Mr Horn says. “But it’s not just physical, it’s mainly teaching kids how to deal with a situation verbally before it gets physical.”

So far over 4000 children and parents have been supported by the program across 42 schools in Queensland.

FEATURE STORY

Fun and Games As Brisbane moves closer to hosting the 2032 Olympic Games, the state’s southeast, including our region, is set to benefit from increased investment and global exposure. But not everyone in Queensland is cheering.

WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

P

rofessor Brendan Burkett gets shivers up his spine when he thinks about holding the Australian flag high above his head as he led the Australian Paralympic Team into the stadium at the 2000 Summer Paralympics Opening Ceremony. It was a moment he’ll never forget and with the recent announcement of Brisbane as the preferred candidate to host the 2032 Summer Olympic Games, he says the Sunshine Coast is set to reap huge rewards if we win the bid.

Professor Burkett is the director of high-performance sport at the University of the Sunshine Coast and head coach of the Australian Paralympic Swim Team, and represented Australia for 13 years as a swimmer. He was captain of the Australian Paralympic Team at the 1996 Atlanta Games and is a Paralympic champion, world champion and world record holder.

A multiple medallist, he won a gold medal in the men’s 50-metre freestyle S9 event at Atlanta, for which he received a Medal of the Order of Australia.

“During the Sydney Olympics, the whole country was just jumping with excitement and patriotism,” he says. “It was called the best Games ever, and it just seemed to really pull the country together.

“It was a massive buzz to lead the team into the stadium in Sydney and something

that made you feel really great to be Australian and I’m envisaging the same can happen for Brisbane in 2032.

“It was such a privilege to be selected to compete for my country, then to be lucky enough to lead my team in at the home games was top of the tree. I was captain of the team in Atlanta in ’96 and the same at the World Championships in ’98, but to do that in front of your home crowd on home soil, that’s a whole new level.

“There are so many athletes from so many countries I catch up with at world championships and 21 years later, they still say the Sydney Games was one of the highlights and you just go, geez, it’s good to be Australian.”

As a journalist living and working in Sydney in 2000, this writer has equally fond memories. For two weeks, from September 15 to October 1, there was an electrifying buzz in the air. The city was transformed, with giant outdoor screens, street parties, free events and thousands of international visitors, lanyards dangling around their necks, wandering the city streets with happy smiles, asking for directions and encountering friendly Sydneysiders only too happy to help.

There was an air of goodwill in shops, businesses, buses, trains and ferries.

Friendly chatter between stranger was commonplace and workers filled the parks

“The whole country was just jumping with excitement and patriotism” Brendan Burkett leading the Australian Paralympic Team at the Sydney 2000 Opening Ceremony

at lunchtime to watch the latest race or game on a big screen. Spontaneous cheers erupted across the city at all times of the day and night when someone’s favourite athlete or team won.

Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast look set to experience the same excitement and boost to both morale and the economy that Sydney enjoyed in 2000, with the International Olympic Committee’s February 25 announcement that Brisbane is the preferred candidate to host the 2032 Summer Olympic Games.

“I think it’s very exciting,” Prof Burkett says. “Looking back to the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in 2018 and the Sydney Games in 2000, heaps of positivity came out of those, so I’m very excited.”

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson has played a leading role in advancing the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games candidature since the idea was first mooted by the Council of Mayors South East Queensland nearly six years ago.

Mayor Jamieson – who on April 30, 2015 with then-Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk were the first government representatives to meet with IOC president Thomas Bach to discuss the potential to host the games in southeast Queensland – says it has been a roller coaster ride to this point, but we are not over the line yet. myweeklypreview.com.au

FEATURE STORY

Professor Brendan Burkett working with students “As we now push our way through the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games can become a powerful tool in southeast Queensland’s economic resurgence and deliver an incredible boost to our tourism industry when it needs it the most – along with many other industries that will be important contributors to the Games’ supply chain,” Mr Jamieson says.

“Likewise, in order to get our candidature over the line, all tiers of government will need to be able to demonstrate we are infrastructure-ready to host an Olympic and Paralympic Games event.

But not everyone is happy about it. Katter’s Australian

Party MPs Robbie Katter and Nick Dametto are concerned a Brisbane Olympics will mean regional Australia misses out on infrastructure investment, with Mr Dametto calling it “a party for Brisbane”. Greens MP Michael Berkman says the government should instead be investing in education, social housing and child safety.

Prof Burkett says the benefits will outweigh the cost.

“Countries have got a lot smarter in how to run a Games,” he says. “The stigma attached to it costing a lot of money and countries being in debt has changed. The success of the London Olympics in 2012 showed that. That whole precinct has turned into a thriving area. Heaps of good things can come out of the Olympics.

“For the Sunshine Coast, key things like infrastructure will be fast tracked. When you have a major international event, it increases the construction of infrastructure significantly. We have a reasonable reliance on tourism on the Sunshine Coast and to showcase Queensland and the Sunshine Coast, there is no bigger market to do it than hosting the world’s biggest sporting event.

“It goes into bigger things than tourism. It’s building, construction, IT. A whole bunch of new connections will be established, whether it be at a sporting venue or a boardroom. A conversation can lead to a whole new industry.

“The key is it’s a tremendous opportunity and it can bring a lot of positivity to the region, to Queensland and to the country.”

QUEENSLAND CROSSBENCHERS PAN BRISBANE OLYMPIC BID Queensland crossbenchers have slammed the state government’s 2032 Olympics bid.

Katter’s Australian Party and Greens MPs say the government’s priorities are all wrong after it announced that Brisbane had been installed as the preferred bidder for the Games by the International Olympic Committee.

Katter’s Australian Party MPs Robbie Katter and Nick Dametto say the bid will ensure regional infrastructure investment will lose out to the southeast for another 10 years. Mr Dametto says investing in the Olympics is irresponsible when the state debt would climb to $120 billion over the next four years. “We’re going to be in debt very soon and what are we going to do, we’re going to spend another billion dollars and have a party down here in Brisbane,” he says. “I’m sick to death of north Queensland and rural Queensland generating the income for Brisbane to have a party.”

Greens MP Michael Berkman says the government should be investing in education, social housing and child safety to help address issues such as youth crime.

“I guess I’ve got my concerns about us focusing our resources, our investment in something like the Olympics, a big spectacle, when a lot of Queensland are still doing it tough,” Mr Berkman says.

The opposition supports the Olympic bid, saying the focus should now be on getting infrastructure ready in the southeast. Liberal National Party sport spokesman Tim Mander says it is important that the benefits of the Olympics are spread across the state.

“Being a very decentralised state we have to make sure that everybody benefits from these Games,” he says.

The premier promises the regions won’t be left out, with some soccer matches already set for regional areas and various teams to train outside Brisbane.

University of the Sunshine Coast Sports Precinct

WHICH OLYMPIC SPORTS COULD WE HAVE ON THE SUNSHINE COAST? Professor Brendan Burkett, director of high-performance sport at the University of the Sunshine Coast, says it’s too early to speculate on which Olympic sports we could see on the Sunshine Coast, but there are some obvious contenders.

“Obviously you could have the triathlon, sailing, maybe some equestrian sports. You could have basketball and indoor sports at the University of the Sunshine Coast Stadium, which is national broadcast quality. Ballinger Park has AstroTurf, so you could have hockey there.

Mooloolaba has proven it can run a marathon.

Surfing could be run anywhere on the Coast, BMX throughout the hinterland. But it’s a bit early to make those calls and you’d need to have discussions on what could and would go where in the southeast region.”

DO YOU HAVE A WILL?

DARREN KERR

1. Did you know that over 50% of Australian adults do not have a Will?

2. Without a valid Will, the government stipulates how your estate will be divided and distributed and who will be in charge. This may result in a significantly different outcome than you may wish.

3. Research has revealed that only 4% of Australian adults do not want a Will. There is therefore a significant number of Australians who “haven’t got around to it yet”.

4. Dying without a Will can result in financial chaos, significantly burden your loved ones and lead to family disputes and disagreements.

5. The good news is that making a Will is a painless process.

Darren Kerr heads up the Griffiths Parry Wills & Estates team and is a very experienced practitioner in this area of law having some 28 years practice experience and being one of a select number of Wills & Estates specialists accredited by the Law Institute of Victoria. In addition, dealing with superannuation is an essential part of estate planning and should go in hand with the preparation of a Will.

Explore the Sunshine Coast’s southern gateway: Kawana to Caloundra While the Sunshine Coast tourism industry has faced unprecedented challenges through disruptions caused by COVID-19, tourism operators continue to show great resilience through new pathways and innovation.

joined forces for the initiative, positioning themselves as the ‘Southern Gateway to the Sunshine Coast’ through their new campaign – Too Easy.

The program was created to fast-track the recovery of more than 1700 grassroots tourism businesses after the devastating impact of COVID-19 and to complement VSC’s high-level national and state-wide promotional strategy.

The campaign – which primarily targeted the drive market - aimed to showcase the diversity of experiences on offer less than an hours’ drive north of Brisbane and uncover the hidden gems of the region beyond the beaches.

t takes an extraordinary amount of confidence to launch a new business during a time of uncertainty.

But Michelle Christoe and her husband Ian Van der Woude are not known for shying away from a challenge, and in November last year they opened NightQuarter on the Sunshine Coast – the region’s newest entertainment precinct.

“We have had so much local support from the Sunshine Coast community since we moved to the region and reopened NightQuarter. We definitely feel welcome in our new home,” Michelle says.

“We have a fantastic team committed to achieving our business goals, to bring community together and deliver opportunities for the entertainment industry.”

Michelle says they chose to relocate their award-winning business to the Sunshine Coast because of the lifestyle and opportunities the region presented.

“The area attracts the drive market, interstate and New Zealanders as a holiday destination so offers a lot of opportunity for an entertainment business like NightQuarter,” Michelle says.

“We already have dedicated locals who come to visit us each weekend and are humbled by their support.

“We are also seeing strong attendance from visitors from outside the region, with 30 per cent of visitors attending from outside the Sunshine Coast particularly to attend our major concerts and community events.”

Delivering COVID-Safe events has been particular important for Michelle and Ian who are committed to supporting the arts and entertainment industries which have been ‘hit the hardest and need the support of venues like NightQuarter to restart

their careers’.

Visit Sunshine Coast (VSC) has been able to provide support to NightQuarter during and after their opening on the Sunshine Coast.

“From hosting their events at our venue

to including us in their marketing for the region, they have been great supporters and we couldn’t have done it without them,” Michelle says.

NightQuarter offers a festival every weekend, visit nightquarter.com.au.

Supporting tourism businesses Visit Sunshine Coast is here to support tourism businesses with ongoing COVID recovery and is offering a membership fee of just $10.

NEW BLOOMHILL PROGRAM HELPS YOUTH A new program at Bloomhill Cancer Care is now helping young people with cancer aged 18 and up to 50 years. The program offers a support group, a free exercise assessment and weekly gym session, an art therapy group and cooking classes.

Bloomhill’s Trish Wilson says. “Diagnosis of cancer at any stage of life can be a great shock and presents a range of challenges, however being diagnosed with cancer when you are a young person with so much living to do and often a young family who rely on you, adds a whole other layer of complications, fears and worries.” Thanks to a $31,500 donation from IGA Marketplace Wises Road, the pilot program will run for three years. “As a cancer survivor myself I know firsthand the many challenges people face in this situation,” IGA Marketplace Wises Road owner Brad Hopper says. Visit bloomhill.com.au.

DAWN SERVICE CANCELLED

Volunteer grants of up to $5000 are now available for community groups on the Sunshine Coast thanks to the federal government.

“Volunteers on the Sunshine Coast do a huge amount to build our community’s resilience, provide social support for isolated and vulnerable people, and deliver pathways to employment for school leavers, and they rarely ask for anything in return,” Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace says. Grants of $1000 to $5000 will help volunteers and volunteer groups to buy equipment for volunteers, reimburse volunteer fuel, transport or training costs, or support promotional activities. For more information contact the office of your federal MP.

Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club is cancelling this year’s ANZAC Day dawn service on Mooloolaba Beach due to the continued COVID pandemic. “This has been an extremely tough decision for us as a club to make and one we have not taken lightly,” club president Darryl Johnson says. “Traditionally we have around 10,000 people attend. We want to ensure the utmost safety for the public, veterans and especially those that are particularly vulnerable in these times.” Despite the decision, the club will put together a public memorial and is encouraging locals to participate in the Light up the Dawn service from their driveways on April 25, similar to 2020 commemorations.

Pelican Waters is fast-tracking future land releases, having experienced the fastest sell-out of waterfront lots in the estate’s 30-year history with the release of Navigators – Pelican Waters’ first collection of waterfront homesites. “As a result of this success, we have been able to look more positively at upcoming releases and will be fast tracking our next stage of development to be located on the opposite side of the Navigators precinct on the new island,” general manager of development Hamish Pressland says. “This will comprise a further 31 waterfront and dry lots … releasing to the market in August or September.”

Eighty-nine Sunshine Coast and hinterland Rural Fire Service (RFS) volunteers with a combined 1400 years of service have been recognised for their work at a medal ceremony at Yandina.

Member for Nicklin Rob Skelton says the RFS volunteers received medals acknowledging their long-standing commitment to ethical standards, diligence and integrity. “Regional communities rely on the courage and expertise of RFS volunteers to keep them safe during emergencies,” Mr Skelton says. “We recognised the service of 89 worthy recipients who have helped the community over a number of decades.”

WISHLIST GIVING DAY A HUGE SUCCESS Hospital foundation Wishlist set a fundraising record at the recent Wishlist Giving Day raising $330,500. Sunshine Coast and Gympie communities rallied around the charity during the 12-hour appeal to raise funds for the region’s public hospitals, with 18 local business matching every dollar raised, making it the most successful day in the event’s 22-year history. “This annual appeal is such a special fundraiser – it’s the only time where supporters can have their donation doubled by our very generous local businesses and families – also known as ‘matchers’,” Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe says. “We reached our ambitious $300,000 target at 4.20pm and we were just totally overwhelmed. The success of Wishlist Giving Day means we can purchase medical equipment like the specialised spinal bed… and continue funding the local Clown Doctors service, Calm Fairies and music therapy at Dove Palliative Care. We also have our exciting new Wishlist Centre.”

$140,000 RAISED FOR LIFEFLIGHT A sell-out crowd has rallied to raise money for RACQ LifeFlight Rescue at the Hutchinson Builders LifeFlight Champagne Diamond Gala Dinner on March 27. Lifeflight Australia chair Rob Borbidge says 500 people filled the Minyama room at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre, raising $140,000 for the lifesaving aeromedical service’s Sunshine Coast base. “Each time that a helicopter goes up, the cost is around $25,000 and there’s no cost to the people that we rescue,” he says. In its 42-year history, LifeFlight has come to the aid of more than 60,000 people. In 2020, Sunshine rescue crews flew 502 missions, costing $12.5 million.

PROFILE meant adding a whole new dimension of training to her daily workouts.

“I spent a couple of months training with Strange Fruit, the Melbourne-based performance art group who pioneered the bend pole technology,” she explains.

“It’s far beyond anything I’d ever done before – I’ve never been a very physical or athletic person.

“The scariest part is climbing up the pole. Once, you’re up there, if you can forget the fear, it feels like flying. It’s enormously fun and liberating.”

Ms Miller-Heidke has released four albums in Australia, achieving multiplatinum status and appearing in the top 10 album and single charts numerous times. Still, COVID has caused her the same concerns as every other musician.

“I was in Melbourne all of last year, and it was pretty bleak,” she recalls. “I was doing a bunch of writing and also filming The Masked Singer.”

To cope with lockdown – particularly in longer-term lockdown environments, people adapted in various ways, some by developing quirky habits.

“I began eating dessert after every meal, including breakfast,” Ms MillerHeidke confesses. “And I developed a low-key Twitter addiction.”

She says she can’t predict how COVID will affect her career, nevertheless, she says, “I feel a strong impulse to really use my time to focus on what’s important – to not sweat the small stuff, as much as I used to.”

All going well on the first weekend

Let the Sunshine In From Eurovision to Eumundi, Kate Miller-Heidke is heading to the Sunshine Coast. WORDS: By Gail Forrer.

K

ate Miller-Heidke’s songs are renowned for their wit and insight. Rolling Stone magazine classed her music as ‘Indie Pop’, but she also had a penchant for glamour.

So, it was fitting when Ms MillerHeidke’s performance at Eurovision – which is known for showcasing a platform of colourful performers who find it easy to take a creative walk on the wild side – was met with an abundance of love. Indeed, this was the place where the world discovered ABBA.

Eurovision’s 200-million audience watched on as the Queensland-born singer-songwriter gave an awe-inspiring, gravity-defying performance swaying side-to-side, balancing on a seven-metre pole as her she romanced her fans with the song Zero Gravity. The spectacular performance was rewarded with a ninth place in the finals.

For the classically trained singer, who regularly traverses the worlds of contemporary pop, folk, musical theatre and opera, the high-drama gig on the pole

of next month, Ms Miller-Heidke will perform at Eumundi’s Sunshine Sounds, a boutique, two-day music festival in the hinterland town.

However, whether it’s the Eumundi or Eurovision stage, Ms Miller-Heidke says she always feels nervous.

“Obviously, Sunshine Sounds will be a little more relaxed and I’ll have more time to connect with the audience – so I won’t be terrified,” she says.

In a special gesture to the local audience, Ms Miller-Heidke is offering to take requests.

“Hit me up on my Facebook or Instagram, if you want to hear a particular song or a dedication,” she says.

For the future, she says she has a few things in the pipeline. “But nothing I’m at liberty to speak of just yet.

“But, stay tuned,” she adds.

As for a bucket list for a person who has already graced most of the world’s biggest stages, she says, “When COVID hit, we were supposed to be workshopping Muriel’s Wedding The Musical. I wrote the music and lyrics with my collaborator Keir Nuttall on Broadway.

“If that show ever gets to see the inside of a theatre on Broadway or the West End, I could probably die happy.

“I mean I’d be happy for at least a few months.”

Kate Miller-Heidke will be performing at the Sunshine Sound Festival, a two-day, all-ages music festival on Saturday, May 1 and Sunday, May 2. The 100 per cent Queensland line-up also includes Busby Marou, Katie Noonan and Miiesha.

Daily tickets to Sunshine Sounds are $80 for adults, $40 for kids (under 18 years) or $200 for a family pass via oztix.com.au. Tickets are limited.

VACCINATION RATE RISES ON THE SUNSHINE COAST The Sunshine Coast has long had the dubious reputation of being an anti-vax capital, with one of the lowest childhood vaccination rates in Australia, but that appears to be changing. The latest childhood immunisation figures from the December 2020 quarter show more parents are having their young children inoculated, with most areas of the Coast improving.

The higher vaccination rates were especially noticeable in the one-year age group during the year of the pandemic when most areas of the Coast achieved at least 90 per cent coverage. The Sunshine Coast historically lagged behind the rest of the country when it came to vaccinating babies and toddlers, especially in hinterland areas where rates were as low as 84.4 per cent just five years ago.

The Gold Coast hinterland now holds the crown of having Queensland’s lowest vaccination rates, while the area around Mullumbimby in northern New South Wales is among the worst in Australia.

The Sunshine Coast vaccination coverage is still not as high as the 95 per cent required for herd immunity against diseases like measles, which has been achieved in many other parts of Queensland. But compared with five years

ago, the Coast has inreased markedly and the rates rose further again during the year of the coronavirus in 2020. However, Noosa, perceived as an affluent area that would not be expected to have low vaccination rates, showed much less increase.

Australian Medical Association Sunshine Coast branch president Dr Roger Faint says the Coast’s vaccination rates of around 90 per cent are “very healthy”.

Dr Faint says the increased awareness of disease and the importance of vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic may have made parents more conscious.

Since the 1960s, residents of the North Coast/Sunshine Coast have said they don’t want the area to become like the Gold Coast. This call continues today despite the moving goal posts.

In the 1990s, Maroochy Shire had one of Australia’s highest rates of population growth and many residents called for a population cap. Property developers and Maroochy councillors involved in the industry claimed that this would drive up property prices. Therefore, we got both,

almost uncontrolled growth as well as ridiculously high property prices. Some residents marched for ‘no high rise’ and lower densities. Developers, and many councillors, claimed higher densities were needed to prevent urban sprawl and loss of native habitat. Many replied we’d end up with both. We now have higher density infill as well as higher density urban sprawl (including on floodplains) with the destruction of native habitat.

However, ‘local government’ is a creation of state governments and they must comply with state government legislation (including parking regulations) so, it is state governments that drive the population growth and loss of native species.

Is there a solution? No, not with our materialistic society and governments that cling to an economic model that dictates unsustainable constant growth and a distorted distribution of wealth.

PARKING DILEMMAS

All of your favourites plus more online

The Sunshine Coast Regional Council (we ratepayers) are extremely generous in allowing an ever-increasing number of caravans, boat and trailer owners to park for free in long-term designated parking spaces (on CBD fringes) or in neighbourhood side streets.

While the owners are technically not breaking any council by-laws, it does seem extremely rude to drop your rig in either

back streets or in marked parking bays, clamp your wheels, remove any gas bottles and disappear into the sunset.

Perhaps the council should consider a discussion around this activity becoming illegal with appropriate fines being instigated for the offenders who most likely have brought a new toy before considering appropriate storage options.

CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE Being in the over seventies age group, I decided I needed to find out where the COVID vaccine was available. I was surprised to find only a small number of medical centres were in this essential program at this time.

I phoned the Eckersley Medical Centre (not my usual one)on the morning of the March 24 and got an appointment in the late afternoon from a most helpful lady. An information sheet was sent to my email straight away for me to fill in and take to the appointment. Upon arrival at 4.50pm, I was greeted with a big smile, directed to the reception where all four receptionists were helpful and smiling as they did their work.

Remember it was now 5pm and they’d been working non-stop all day. The

waiting room was full, but it all worked smoothly with efficient, organised but most importantly caring people. The lady who answered the phone in the morning was actually the nurse who gave the jab in the late afternoon.

Congratulations Eckersley Medical Centre.

PS: Thanks for your letter Sheila, good service deserves to be praised.

AVOID FLOODPLAINS Hopefully, the council takes cognizance of allowing development on floodplains after the disastrous flooding and heartache for homeowners.

TRAVEL

Head to the Red Centre

Michelle from Twisted Gum Vineyard

EXPLORING YOUR BACKYARD

Uluru should be on every Australian’s bucket list and there has never been a better time to visit than now, when we have it all to ourselves.

WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

The breathtaking sight of Uluru as the sun sets over the desert. Image: Caitlin Zerafa

I

f visiting the heart of Australia is not on your travel bucket list, then my question to you is why not?

From the vast red desert, sacred sites and rich culture to its endless beauty and wildlife, Uluru is sure to steal your heart.

Now is the perfect time to visit too, as the influx of foreigners is non-existent thanks to international border closures, allowing you to enjoy a truly unique and authentic experience.

Home to the Anangu people and dating back 300 million years, Uluru is one of the largest monoliths in the world at 348 metre tall and extending several kilometres underground.

After a three-hour flight from Brisbane direct to Ayers Rock Airport, you’ll find a variety of accommodation choices at Ayers Rock Resort in the town of Yulara from a five-star resort to camping. The resort is the only place you can stay in the region, with the town established in 1976 to support tourism and protect nearby sacred sites.

There are a few musts when visiting the Red Centre, the obvious being the highly sacred site of Uluru set within the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Regardless of whether or not you consider yourself a spiritual person, the energy and presence around Uluru is something you must feel to believe.

26 My Weekly Preview | April 8, 2021

With climbing now permanently closed, the flat and easy 10.2-kilometre circuit around the base can be done self-guided or as part of a walking, cycling or Segway tour.

There are smaller tracks too, for those not keen on the longer trek. About a 40-minute drive from Uluru is Kata Tjuta, sometimes known as The Olgas, with the 7.4-kilometre Valley of the Winds walk a must if you have a good level of fitness.

There is a sense of magic as the sun rises and sets across the desert, lighting up Uluru with an abundance of colours. I would highly recommend hiring a car (be sure to book in advance as vehicle numbers are limited) so you can go in and out of the national park at your leisure.

While there is plenty to do on your own, tour operators offer a wide variety of activities and experiences, from helicopter flights to cultural workshops. My pick would have to be catching the sunset with Uluru Camel Tours.

Finally, the Field of Light exhibition is currently on display, and with 50,000 hand-blown, solar powered glass lights, it creates a breathtaking scene once night falls.

Most tourists book a trip during the cooler months, so spring and summer are quieter and you will feel as though you have the place to yourself. Just make sure you do any walks early in the morning!

There has never been a better time to explore our own backyard and support areas that have previously been impacted by drought and bushfires. Last October, my husband and I took our two children (aged nine and 11) on a holiday in the Granite Belt region and were pleasantly surprised at the variety of activities on offer.

We drove from the Sunshine Coast and to break the journey had lunch at the Summer Land Camel Farm in Harrisville. We thoroughly enjoyed the informative farm tour and tasting the delicacies on offer, including camel sausage, camel feta and camel milk ice-cream. They also have a wide range of skincare products and now produce camel milk and honey vodka! You can also purchase hay and feed the camels, or enjoy a camel ride.

The Granite Belt is famous for apples, wine, fresh produce and the Girraween National Park. We sampled fantastic wines at several wineries on the StrangeBird Wine Trail and enjoyed a beautiful lunch at the Jester Hills Winery.

At the cellar doors we were lucky enough to meet the winemakers, who are usually the owners of the vineyards.

We called into Stanthorpe Cheese for cheese tasting, all made locally and absolutely delicious. If you love a homemade jam, then you will definitely need to include a visit to Jam Works Gourmet Food and Cafe.

With all this sampling of local wine and food, we were pleased we could expend some energy exploring the spectacular Girraween National Park. My husband and son loved the more adventurous walks, while myself and our daughter explored the easier trails. There are also mountain bike trails in the Stanthorpe area.

If you want to explore the Granite Belt Region, Travel Associates have a hosted four-day Granite Belt Food & Wine Tour departing the Sunshine Coast on the May 27, 2021.

Prices start from $995 per person.

PUTTING WOMEN’S SURFING ON THE MAP

Surf entrepreneurs Belinda Bradford and Serena Adams (inset) from Surf Getaways

I

n a traditionally male-dominated industry, a group of entrepreneurial women came together to develop a surf travel and learn-to-surf company run by women, for women.

Their goal was to make surfing accessible for women who saw it as a sport that was out of bounds.

Surf Getaways was created by Serena Adams, one of Australia’s most

accomplished and accredited female surf coaches, and Belinda Bradford, an avid traveller, surfer, experienced marketer and entrepreneur. Setting up in Byron Bay, their goal was to put women’s surfing on the map throughout Australia, as well as locations in some of the world’s most famous surf destinations.

Their vision is to inspire and empower women to reach their full potential

through surfing, all while promoting wellness, positive self-image and building communities of like-minded women.

Surf Getaways is also focused on enabling women to develop a broad range of skills across the surf industry. They’re opening career doors for women on the Coast as coaches and other roles in the business, helping develop leaders who continue to deliver change and raise the profile of women’s surfing right across the board.

Sunshine Coast senior surf coach Sarah Pawley says, “Working with Surf Getaways allows me to combine my passions for surfing and overall wellness, whilst developing skills I can use in the surf industry and beyond.

“It is so rewarding when your job is something you love that has such a positive impact on peoples’ lives.”

Visit surfgetaways.com.au or call (02) 6685 4546 for details on Caloundra tours and clinics.

BUSINESS & FINANCE

BUSI N ESS E X PERTS

Dividing property in a divorce

To sell or not to sell, property investors?

Family business succession planning

Power of attorney laws changing

When relationships break down and people go their separate ways, often the family home and other property assets will need to be sold.

Sometimes it is possible for one of the parties to buy the other party out, but when the property market is as buoyant as it is at the moment, other factors need to be considered.

We are currently experiencing an unprecedented demand for property on the Sunshine Coast, with many properties being snapped up before they even go to market. This makes it difficult for a couple who are separating to agree on a fair and reasonable price if there is a possibility that one party will buy the other out.

On the flip side, when a spouse does not work, or simply cannot afford to buy the other party out, and the sale of the property becomes necessary, it is important that any property that is listed for sale is marketed in a way that will achieve the best possible result for the separating parties.

A buoyant property market often means a favourable result for the vendors but when the vendors are a separating couple, it can mean heightened stress levels and angst and it is important that the separating couple both have independent legal advice to ensure their interests are protected.

With the current shortage of listings, it’s no surprise that real estate agents are knocking on doors, practically begging investors to sell up and cash in on the property boom.

But if you want to prepare for a happy and financially secure retirement, then prematurely selling your investment property is absolutely the wrong thing to do – as tempting as it may be.

While it’s true that housing prices on the Sunshine Coast have increased significantly, the good news is that they’re set to perform even better.

Many property experts, as well as major banks and independent economists, are predicting double-digit growth over the next two to three years, and possibly until 2025. Demand is well and truly outpacing supply and there’s very little land available to build on this year – a factor that will keep pushing up prices.

So, now is not the right time to sell.

Now is the time to use the equity that has built up in your investment property to try to secure another one.

Two or three properties benefiting from this kind of growth will continue to build your wealth over the longer term.

Succession planning is vital for all business owners, but particularly family business owners.

Here are a few quick tips to consider when starting your succession planning: • Commence succession planning early in the life of the business.

• Always keep your financial data up to date so that information is easily accessed and ready for any new plan.

• Understand the overall strategic plan of the business.

• Determine the key roles needed for the future and who will ‘fit’ with your business going forward.

• Select a successor as early as possible in the succession planning process and then appropriately train, develop and introduce them to other key business people.

• Determine the importance of family involvement in the leadership and ownership of the business.

• In addition to the successor, organise a backup of talented people who can evolve through training and involvement in the business.

• Set retirement dates for owners/founders.

• Communicate your succession plan.

• Consider all of the financial and tax implications of your succession plan.

Start the conversation today.

On November 30, 2020 changes were made to the law regarding Queensland Guardianship Systems. Some of the changes that came into effect include: • Changes to the general principles and health care principles.

• Clarity on applying the presumption that a person has capacity until proved otherwise.

• Clarity around what constitutes a ‘conflict transaction’.

• Changes to the eligibility requirements for attorneys.

• Limiting the number of joint attorneys.

New Enduring Power of Attorney and Advance Health Directive forms came into effect, replacing the existing forms.

Since the new forms were introduced, many of our clients have not taken up the option to include views, wishes or preferences or include a nominated person to be notified each time the attorney acts. It is easy to see however that in some circumstances the requirement for the attorney to inform another person when they are acting (i.e. the nominated person), could provide a ‘check and balance’ which may assist in ensuring the attorney acts appropriately when exercising their power.

Importantly, from November 20, 2020 only the new forms for Enduring Powers of Attorney and Advance Health Directives can be used.

THE UNIQUE MODEL OF CURRRAMORE WILDLIFE SANCTUARY There’s a been an extension to the place flora and fauna call home. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

CENTRAL/NORTH SUNSHINE COAST REGION

Mark Webber and Tim White at Curramore Wildlife Sanctuary near Maleny

A

Blackall Range wildlife sanctuary will soon be home to an additional 26.1 hectares of land in an effort to protect hundreds of local species of flora and fauna.

Curramore Wildlife Sanctuary, now a 196.1-hectare site on the western escarpment of the Maleny Plateau, is part of the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC).

AWC is a not-for-profit organisation that owns, manages or works in partnerships at 30 properties across the nation, covering almost 6.5-million

hectares and protecting more than 1800 native species.

AWC regional operations manager Tim White says the Curramore sanctuary is a biodiversity hotspot.

“At Curramore, here we are part of the Little Cedar Creek catchment area, we protect a really important part of the catchment for that area,” Mr White says.

“The sanctuary is home to over 270 species including 15 threatened animal and plant species as well as koalas, subtropical antechinus, red-necked wallabies, rare golden-tipped bats and

endangered Richmond birdwing butterflies.”

Mr White says the area is a known koala habitat and has a diverse flora habitat, ranging from eucalypt to rainforests.

“Most of the property is dominated by tall eucalypt or brush box forest with a vine forest understory.”

Mr White says AWC uses a unique model of science-informed land management to carry out its work, and the Curramore property offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with the local community.

“AWC has a really unique model, we have land managers based on our properties, it’s a key part of the work that we do.

“Curramore is a really important location for Australian Wildlife Conservancy, not just the beautiful habitat, which we protect here, but it’s right on the doorstep of a major population base.

“It’s a key opportunity for us to engage with our supporters, stakeholders, but also community groups and other education groups.”

One of the biggest challenges for Curramore is the invasive lantana weed, which remains a major threat to the habitat.

“AWC’s main focus is to demonstrate an effective strategy for the large-scale control of lantana, and other weeds, within southeast Queensland,” Mr White says.

“At the time of purchase, more than half the land area of Curramore was

infested with lantana, along with much of the remnant forest in the region.

“The forest was severely compromised, with lantana excluding almost all other vegetation and preventing recruitment to the canopy layer.

“Over the past 10 years, AWC staff and volunteers have undertaken a systematic control program, removing lantana and restoring the native ecosystem.”

Mr White says the program has become an effective and feasible method he hopes will act as a catalyst for other regional control efforts.

Curramore sanctuary also requires a complex fire management strategy.

“Fire is required for the long-term maintenance of some habitats but needs to be excluded from other communities such as rainforest.

“AWC’s fire management on the property aims to maintain and restore a grassy understory in Eucalypt woodlands, retard the invasion of lantana and protect the rainforests.”

To help boost awareness for their work, former Formula One driver and Sunshine Coast property owner Mark Webber has been named an AWC ambassador.

It comes just weeks after the federal government officially noted the extinction of an additional 13 endemic Australian species in the last 200 years, leaving Australia as one of the worst countries for mammal extinctions.

UP, RUNNING AND WINNING Little Athletics is about more than fitness for Maya. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

budding young athlete is celebrating her achievements after an impressive weekend of results at the Little Athletics state championships.

Mountain Creek State High school student Maya Mitchell says to qualify for the state team is a “dream come true” and she is proud of her achievements at such a high level.

“I placed first in the under-13s 1500-metre and fourth in the under-13 800-metre,” Maya says.

“Qualifying for the state team was a dream come true, I never thought I would make it so far when I was only 12 and at my first Queensland Little Athletics competition.

“It took me a while to fully comprehend that I had won.”

The Little Athletics Queensland McDonald’s State Championships was held in Brisbane from March 19 to 21.

The 12-year-old who trains at University of the Sunshine Coast Little Athletics Centre says she has come a long way since her last state event competing in New South Wales in 2019, breaking her

time by eight seconds, but I also smashed my 1500-metre personal best by 31 seconds.

“At states, I ran five minutes and nine seconds in the 1500-metre and two

“I love Little Athletics because it’s a great way to meet people…”

Maya Mitchell, 12, is taking the Little Athletics world by storm own personal best times this year.

“Two years ago, I was coming 19th and 20th at the Little Athletics NSW state championships.

“I have come so far and am smashing pb’s. In fact, I not only beat my 800-metre

minutes and 30 seconds in the 800-metre.”

Maya says she love the Little Athletics environment, not only to become a better athlete but as a social outlet where she can surround herself with likeminded peers.

“I love Little Athletics because it’s a great way to meet people that share the same interests as you and it is an enjoyable way to end the week.

“Additionally, Little Athletics keeps you motivated to be your best with some friendly competition every Friday night.”

GUIDE DOGS FUNDRAISER Prior to opening at The Lind Theatre later this month, the cast of Terra Nova will take to the stage on April 21 for a special performance to raise money for Guide Dogs Queensland. The stage show tells the story of a race to the south pole based on the journal pages of British explorer Robert Falcon Scott. Tickets: trybooking. com/BPJYD

RED CROSS SUCCESS Last month, Coolum and District Red Cross Branch held a raffle across two weekends raising $1059. The club’s Margaret Mourik says it is a “fantastic” result for the small group of volunteers and is thanking the community for its support. The group’s next meeting and morning tea is on April 14 at 10.15am at Coolum Surf Lifesaving Club.

Visitors welcome. Call 0411 248 505 for details.

MAROOCHY RSL DONATIONS OVER $1M

M

ore than 50 Sunshine Coast community groups, who collectively received more than $1 million in donations from Maroochy RSL last year, have had the opportunity to share stories and celebrate their successes.

Maroochy RSL’s donations are part of the organisation’s ongoing pledge to support the local community, with more than $6.5 million being donated to more than 350 organisations since 2015.

Maroochy RSL CEO Clare Paton is delighted the club was in a position to help local community groups, particularly during 2020.

“There were many groups who suffered great losses in 2020, both in volunteer resources and/or financial support, so it was great to be able to provide a financial relief to these services at a challenging time,” Ms Paton says.

Compass Institute dog trainer Bev Brocklehurst says the team were grateful for a share in the donation, allowing the charity to continue its program of gifting assistance dogs to children living with autism.

“The difference these dogs make to the lives of children with autism is incredible,

Compass Institute’s Poppy the dog and Bev Brocklehurst help gift assistance dogs to children living with autism but it takes time and money to train the dogs to meet the children’s needs,” Ms Brocklehurst says.

“2020 was very challenging as our organisation’s ability to fundraise via the usual channels… was severely impacted.

“There was a period for about three

months when we were unable to fundraise at our very popular Sunshine Plaza pop-up and we also had to cancel one of our major fundraising events.

“We couldn’t have continued our service were it not for generous donations like that from Maroochy RSL.”

TRAMWAY WALKING TRACK POPULAR Right on Buderim’s doorstep, the Heritage Tramway Walking Track is becoming more popular with locals and visitors interested in learning more about the region’s tram history.

Developed by Sunshine Coast Council in conjunction with BuderimPalmwoods Heritage Tramway Inc, the self-guided two-kilometre track along the old tramline, which operated between Buderim and Palmwoods from 1914 to 1935, features an abundance of history and local flora.

However, BPHTI president Helene Cronin says improvements are needed to accommodate the increasing number of walkers and runners using the track.

“People are coming from near and far to walk the track and BPHTI are continuing to work with Sunshine Coast Council to improve the track.

“One of the things needed is a drinking fountain and Member for Buderim, Brent Mickelberg, has kindly agreed to fund this.”

Walkers can meet at the track entrance on Telco Road at 2pm for the free 1.5-hour walk. For more information visit facebook.com/BPHTI.

The club’s Sandra Robinson says Quota International was dissolved in September 2020, however Coolum members unanimously voted to keep serving the community and continue club under a new name.

“They will continue to work in the local community supporting women and children and the disadvantaged, so not a lot has changed, just our name,” she says.

FROM LISTENING TO HER HEART TO LISTENING TO THE ENVIRONMENT

W

hen surf lifesaver Jessica Appel decided to study environmental science at university she was listening to her heart.

The Coolum Beach 26-year-old is now listening to the environment after securing a job as an acoustic consultant, which involves assessing and managing noise impacts in industries such as construction, transport and mining.

“My full-time job with Live It Acoustics involves performing environmental impact assessments that focus solely on noise and vibration impacts from small developments to large infrastructure projects such as the Mackay Northern Access Upgrade road project,” she says.

“I love my job because it’s such a different branch of environmental work.

“It has been interesting to solely focus on noise and vibration, as opposed to the broader spectrum of assessments in an environmental science consulting position.

“It has been a huge learning curve that has given me a deeper understanding of the fundamentals and science behind these processes.

Ms Appel is also passionate about the role of lifesavers in helping protect the natural world, through her role as Coolum Beach Surf Woman of the Year for 2021.

The University of the Sunshine Coast 2016 graduate also leads the development of environmental awareness programs for SLSQ as a volunteer.

“As surf lifesavers, we represent our organisation and Australia’s beaches.”

“With this honour comes the responsibilities associated with the red and yellow uniform.

“These responsibilities extend beyond protecting human lives at the beach.

“If we do our part in protecting our

Surf life saver and environmental science graduate Jessica Appel’s passion for the environment is reverberating through her work as an acoustic consultant environment by being proactive, keeping beaches clean and healthy, and engaging the community to do the same, then we are fulfilling those values.”

She says her love for nature started at a young age, and after graduating from

university, she travelled the world to explore different environments.

“In 2019, I worked casually for a year as a graduate environmental scientist on the Sunshine Coast before gaining my current, full-time role.”

CALOUNDRA BUSINESS OF 27 YEARS IN JEOPARDY AS TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO GO IN New traffic lights at a Caloundra intersection will “kill” business for Rainbow Fuel. WORDS: Kat Donaghey.

SOUTHERN SUNSHINE COAST REGION

Rainbow Fuel’s Ryan Hidassy is outraged over a decision to install traffic lights at a Caloundra intersection, he says will result in a loss of vital street parking

M

ore than a decade after a similar plan was abandoned, traffic lights will now be installed at a notorious Caloundra intersection.

Sunshine Coast Council is upgrading the corner of Arthur Street and Bowman Road with a signalised intersection and

pedestrian crossing.

“The upgrade to traffic lights will make it easier and safer for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to travel onto Bowman Road from Arthur Street and to cross Bowman Road,” a council spokesperson says.

“This important upgrade will include new signalised pedestrian and cycle

crossing facilities, improve overall safety, cater for increased traffic volumes at the busy intersection, and feature new sections of pathway to improve pedestrian access.”

Bowman Road is a major double-lane thoroughfare from Caloundra Road and is crossed by Arthur Street, which runs from Kings Beach to Third Avenue.

For drivers on Arthur Street, it can be difficult to cross four lanes of Bowman Road to access the many sporting facilities on the other side of Arthur Street such as the Caloundra Aquatic Centre and rugby and cricket grounds.

However, the project has outraged local business owner Ryan Hidassy, from Rainbow Fuel, who says the family business will lose about 20 vital street parking spaces and therefore customers.

Mr Hidassy says the fuel station is the largest tobacconist on the Sunshine Coast and requires parking on the street.

He says the three-month construction period will have a huge impact on the family business of 27 years, which will be made worse by the loss of parking.

“This will kill our business for three months. They say we can work around it but if the area is blocked off who’s going to want to stop? Not a single person. They’ll just drive by,” he says.

“We are not happy at all, we will lose all the parking and not just us but the businesses next door like Revolution (Autocare).”

The Hidassy family originally fought

Level 1, 48 Bulcock Street, Caloundra PH: 5491 1333

plans for traffic lights and a median strip in 2010 when they presented a petition to council with hundreds of signatures.

Construction had been scheduled for June of that year but never went ahead.

Council has now returned to the drawing board to start the ball rolling.

“Pricing will be sought in the coming weeks with this project being funded as part of council’s annual capital works program,” says a council spokesperson.

“Tenders for construction of the project will be called this month with construction expected to start in May with works anticipated to be complete in August, weather and site conditions permitting.

“Traffic management and signage will be in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians, motorists and the construction team carrying out the works.

“The intersection will remain operational and all directions of traffic will remain open during construction.

“Reduced speed limits and temporary lane closures may be required, however two-way traffic will remain at all times.”

A spokesperson says council will continue to keep nearby property owners, businesses and other stakeholders updated prior to works starting and during construction to provide details about specific activities, temporary traffic changes and periodic night works.

CALOUNDRA SCIENCE STUDENT LEADS EXPEDITION TO SPOT SEABIRDS

A

n aspiring scientist has completed the voyage of a lifetime, helping to map the abundance of seabirds in the North Tasman and South Coral seas.

In a month-long expedition aboard Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor, Caloundra’s Bianca Keys led a team of student observers in identifying more than 3300 seabirds.

The University of the Sunshine Coast final-year animal ecology student, who overcame seasickness and rough seas, says it was a brilliant experience.

“Ever since I started to have a passion for seabirds, I have wanted to observe them in their natural habitat,” she says.

“An expedition at sea was the perfect way to achieve this as it offered an incredible first-hand opportunity to gain valuable skills in seabird identification and behaviour.”

The former mortgage broking assistant admits the four-week voyage was not without its challenges. “While I have experience in terrestrial bird surveys, it is very different to identify seabirds when dealing with the lively and ever-changing

Bianca Keys and Francisco Gelves on a recent voyage to map seabirds of the Australia’s east coast nature of the sea.

“I had to cope with the rolling of the ship, the harsh sun and wind conditions and even seasickness, especially when sailing for the first time.”

Setting sail from the Port of Brisbane in February, Bianca and her colleagues worked from sunrise to sunset surveying seabirds and monitoring the water for debris and marine mammals.

“One of the highlights from this experience was learning the many different species of marine birds – some of these would never be encountered unless you are on a sea voyage, a remote coral reef or an island,” Ms Keys says.

Under the guidance of onshore Principal Investigator Dr Eric Woehler from the University of Tasmania, Ms Keys trained and supervised other student observers, including USC PhD student and sessional academic Francisco Gelves-Gomez.

The data collected will contribute to the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO global initiative to map the world’s seafloor by 2030.

Once she completes her degree at the end of this semester, Ms Keys plans to begin honours at Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies as a stepping stone into a PhD in marine science and ornithology.

Mr Duncan began Scone Time events to combat isolation experienced by elderly residents and to breathe life into Sunshine Coast heritage halls.

“Now, Scone Time is about bringing

ho knew flour, butter and milk could help communities to connect, talk and break free

from isolation?

Sunshine Coast foodie Martin Duncan is taking an old-school approach bringing

everyone together for a good old-fashioned chat, in person, while enjoying a sweet treat,” Mr Duncan says.

The first event for 2021 was held at the Glass House Mountains heritage listed Bankfoot House in March, with 88 locals attending the sold-out event.

Cultural Heritage coordinator Peter Connell says the parallels between Bankfoot House and Scone Time make the event a perfect fit for the heritage precinct.

“Bankfoot was a place to meet and share stories,” Mr Connell says.

“It was host to three generations of primary producers, the Grigor family, the Burgess family and the Ferris family, all of whom were involved in growing the fruit, among other crops, for making jams.”

Councillor Rick Baberowski says, “This is an excellent way to promote both conversations and the region’s local food producers such as our Food Agricultural Network members, as well as the Coochin Creek and Beerwah Co-ops.

On April 9, Mr Duncan will host a sold-out hands-on jam and preserve workshop as part of the Fridays@Bankfoot event. Visit Scone Time Sunshine Coast on Facebook.

MERIDAN PLAINS TO GET NEW SPORTS HUB Plans to create a major sport and events precinct for the Sunshine Coast are moving full steam ahead after a unanimous endorsement by the council.

Details on the construction timeline have been revealed after all councillors voted in favour of the Honey Farm Sport and Recreation Precinct at Meridan Plains at a March 25 meeting.

The sporting hub includes 10 fields and ovals, nature trails and dog-friendly facilities, active youth and play spaces, wetland experiences and community events. Work is already underway on bulk earthworks, drainage and access for stage one. Construction will start next year on part of the District Recreation Park, including wetlands, turf and field lighting, fields and ovals.

“This is a significant multi-use sport and recreation precinct, which will provide a wealth of benefits for the entire Sunshine Coast community to be involved in active sports, outdoor recreation and a range of events,” division three councillor Peter Cox says.

The $20 million stage one is expected to be completed in 2024 before detailed designs begin on stage two.

DIVERSITY AND SLOW FASHION UNITE WOMEN

A

group familiar with celebrating the success of women from diverse backgrounds recently dived into the world of slow fashion.

The Global Hub for Women at the Caloundra Community Centre hosted a workshop with author of Slow Clothing Jane Milburn in celebration of International Women’s Day. “Jane shared her knowledge and skills in how to transform clothing, avoiding landfill, using natural fabrics and challenged participants to think and act differently in the way we buy, use and reuse clothes,” the hub’s Olga Martinez says.

“The workshop included how to cut up t-shirts to get t-shirt yarn to use in crocheting and knitting, making necklaces, using the sleeves to make small bags and how to make a needle roll.”

The Global Hub is a friendly, social gathering of women from different cultural backgrounds and meets at Caloundra Community Centre every Tuesday from 11am to 2pm.

TACKLING THE GROWING PROBLEM OF LONELINESS IN OLDER ADULTS Cr Terry Landsberg Division Two (Battery Hill, Caloundra, Caloundra West, Dicky Beach, Golden Beach, Kings Beach, Little Mountain, Moffat Beach, Pelican Waters, Shelly Beach.)

CVS Program volunteer Teresa Ganley, right, with Enid Leading Queensland and Kawana-based community services organisation Be is driving a companionship program to tackle the growing issue of loneliness in older adults.

Acting CEO Rosie Overfield says the Community Visitors Scheme plays a key role in bringing people within the community together.

“Whether it’s to share a cup of tea and a chat or a trip to the local cafe, or playing cards or enjoying the garden at home, these connections caringly formed do

make a real difference.”

Since retiring as a support worker, volunteer Teresa Ganley feels drawn to give back to the community.

“I have been very blessed in the five years that I have been a volunteer in the CVS Program,” she says.

“I have had four different clients and they have all been such wonderful people.”

Volunteers interested in the Community Visitors Scheme can call 1300 761 011 or email cvs@wearebe.org.au.

New chapter for Caloundra’s council building I’m thrilled to share that Council has endorsed the detailed design to repurpose the 25-year-old Caloundra Administration Building into a green-star rated District Library, customer service centre, community meeting space and administration offices.

This new district library will be a real page turner for Caloundra, residents in the south and the wider Sunshine Coast community by delivering significant social, community and economic benefits, as well as supporting educational and creative development in our region.

The detailed design will be carried out this financial year (2021/22) with funding available in the 10-year capital works program for design and delivery of the project.

Dicky Beach skate park progresses A few weeks ago, we saw the

demolition of the Dicky Beach Skate Park and amenities block to revitalise the much-needed community facilities, creating a welcoming experience for locals and visitors coming to the area.

Preliminary underground works have started on the amenities block – if you’re visiting the area, Council has set up temporary amenities in the carpark for locals and visitors to use.

Works will begin in coming months on the new skate park which will include features such as ramps, rails, grind ledges, quarter pipes, stairs, plus more! So, watch this space for more updates.

spiritual pull toward it.

It doesn’t need to be expensive – it just needs to be loved. Captivating artwork can be painted by an adored child, created by a friend with love, or be a print of a faraway place you’d love to visit. It can, however, also be an investment – a well-selected piece of art can grow in value over time and unlike some investments, you can take it with you as you leave. If budget is a consideration when choosing an investment artwork, select just one or two key pieces to make a bold statement.

Create the look you’re dreaming of with our expert interior stylist Maureen Walters

rtwork is a vital addition to any home. It fills empty spaces with life, warmth and colour and ties together all the elements of a room.

It can tell a story and create a sense of character within the home, offering glimpses into the personality of the homeowner. In fact, it can often be the most influential decorative piece that allows the owner to express themselves, without saying a word.

Interesting pieces can be conversation starters and draw people together in discussions. They create emotion in the admirer and can alter the mood.

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time” said poet Thomas Merton, when describing the impact of artwork on the admirer.

So, it’s important that when choosing art for your home, you select pieces that reflect who you are, and it is something you truly love.

Usually, you’ll know at first glance if a piece is special, it will draw you in for a little longer, to look a little closer and will have an almost

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

It’s action stations at work this week as Mars and Jupiter turbo-charge your Virgo motivation. If you’re lacking confidence, spend time with an Aries friend. Hopefully some of their chutzpah and self-assurance will rub off on you!

With the sun, Mercury and Venus all visiting your relationship zone, the buzz words this week are communication and cooperation. Your natural Libran talent for negotiation will get you through! It’s a good week to catch up with family and friends.

Some stubborn Scorpios can too easily get stuck in a stultifying daily regime. This week, it’s time to ricochet out of your usual routine and do something completely different.

Variety is the spice of life as you experiment with new activities.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Your ruler Jupiter links up with the sun, Mars and Mercury, so you’re keen to create, activate and communicate. Some caution is required, though, otherwise you could be drawn into power struggles with a business colleague or close friend.

Powerful Pluto is still transiting through your sign, which amplifies your drive and ambition. But this week, Pluto squares Venus, Mercury and the sun, which will crank up your controlling side and encourage ego battles with others.

Jupiter is jumping through quirky Aquarius, so you’ll feel like doing adventurous things. However – with serious Saturn also in your sign - your wings are being clipped by current circumstances. Saturday is super for fashion, friends and fraternising.

This week’s difficult Pluto squares (to the sun, Venus and Mercury) could delay plans, exacerbate a misunderstanding with a friend or frustrate a financial situation. Do your best to proceed with a pragmatic attitude plus plenty of tact.

ith home loan rates exceptionally low, interest rates on savings returning less than two per cent and overseas travel money still sitting in the purse, property investment is proving attractive.

Jack Childs of Think Investment Realty remembers the years when he was paying up to 16 per cent home loan interest.

He argues that with the current low interest rates, now is an excellent time for the younger generation to get into bricks and mortar. “If you haven’t got a home now, you should try harder,” he says.

Mr Childs says many people are buying into property using equity. “If you want to invest $500,000 in something else you have to come up with that money,” he says. “With property you can invest in a property with as low as 10 per cent or even less sometimes and then you take advantage of the growth.”

The younger generation are also seeming to make smarter property decisions. Mr Childs is noticing those younger people, who a few years ago were first homebuyers, are now getting into their first investment property. “For those

While we hear about successful investors in their twenties or thirties, retirees are also getting into the investment market, eagerly looking for better returns on savings that traditionally they would hold in cash in interestbearing bank deposits.

At 71, Scout* has taken her spare cash out of the bank and put into two investment properties.

She had $850,000 on term deposit earning 2.7 per cent interest. “Then it went down to 0.2, like nothing,” Scout says. Rather than dipping into her capital to live, Scout is now earning enough from the two rental units to match about a single age pension. *Name changed for privacy. that haven’t done it as yet, they are setting their goals,” he says.

And when it comes to buying, Mr Childs adds, “The growth on the Coast in the last 12 months has been nothing short of marvellous.”

But it’s not a get rich quick scheme.

“You need to have time in the market,” Mr Childs recommends. “A good property might take five to 15 years to mature.”

You know the type. Flash car. Expensive jewellery. Property portfolio a mile long. That’s what many people think when they hear the words “property investor”. But those characters aren’t Dwyer clients.

Most of the investors we help get onto the property ladder are regular people who just want to get ahead.

And it’s not cashed up out-of-towners who usually buy on the Sunshine Coast – it’s hardworking locals earning less than $100,000 who plan to live off the rental income in their retirement.

With 35 years’ experience and a unique 3-Year Rental Guarantee backed by a quality home builder, Dwyer Property Investments offers total peace of mind. To find out how easy it is to become property investors like Alex and Jayne, call Jason Dwyer today.

LOCAL TEAMS IMPRESS AT STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS Sunshine Coast clubs will be well-represented at the upcoming Australian Surf Life Saving Championships. WORDS: Steel Taylor. for a three-day carnival at Tugun.

Among the top performers were Emma Woods, Taylah Halliday, Adam Palmer, Jacob Dickey and Sunshine Coast Taplin relay teams.

Alexandra Headland duo Ms Halliday and Ms Woods claimed a haul of medals.

They confirmed their status as rising stars in the sport by finishing first and second in the U19 Ironwoman, with Ms Halliday finishing in front of her club mate. The pair, who impressed during the summer’s Ironwoman Series, also combined to win the U19 double ski and U19 board rescue.

They also joined Lucinda Kelly to win the coveted open Taplin relay and they linked with Summer Rolston to win the U19 ski relay. Ms Woods also won the U19 surf (swim) race.

Maroochydore finished second on the overall club points score, behind Northcliffe, and the club enjoyed its “best state titles in about 20 years” according to coach Nathan Greig.

It won one of the carnival’s major races, the open male Taplin relay, due to the efforts of Hayden Cotter, Peter Elford, Oliver Monaghan, Adam Palmer, Matthew Palmer and Daniel Peacock.

Maroochydore’s Adam Palmer won the open male board race at the state championships

ompetition wins in The Surf Lifesaving State Championships held at Tugun on the Gold Coast in March has Sunshine Coast teams pumped for the 2021 Australian Surf Life Saving Championship (The Aussies) to be held between April 16

and 24 on the Sunshine Coast.

A host of Sunshine Coast athletes warmed up for the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships, with impressive displays at the state championships. With upcoming Aussies competition planned for next week, more than 1500 athletes from clubs around Queensland converged

LIGHTNING LEARNING WITH EACH OPPORTUNITY

Last Thursday marked the first time Sunshine Coast Lightning’s team of 2021 stood on court together and will provide the foundation for the team’s build towards the season proper.

While the Lightning were still finding their feet during the Giants Netball clash, subsequent games against Melbourne Vixens and NSW Swifts provided an immediate opportunity to improve and implement new learnings.

Lightning shooter Cara Koenen joined Steph Wood, Karla Pretorius and Phumza Maweni in playing their first pre-season clash for the club this year and says they are all be better for the experience.

“We came into this pre-season tour with limited prep, so it is information gathering for us at the moment to see how these connections are forming,” says Ms Koenen. “The more combinations we are able to form now gives us more options in the season and it will make us more of a threat to each of our SSN opponents.

“We’re seeing what we can get out there and do – how we can build on the strengths and the game plan that’s been put in place by the team in earlier pre-season games.”

Lightning defeated Vixens 62-47

Adam Palmer also triumphed in the open board final.

On the fringes of the elite ranks, he’s expected to be a genuine threat for Australian titles at his own break in April.

Club-mate Tiarnee Massie, who was strong in the Ironwoman Series during summer, snared fourth place in the Ironwoman to suggest she will be right in the mix for the main event at the Australian championships.

Sunshine Coasters also had success in the masters’ state championships on Friday.

Next week Surf Life Saving’s premier event The Aussies will return to the Sunshine Coast for the fourth time in the long history of the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships. Jointly hosted across Alexandra Headland, Maroochydore and Mooloolaba clubs, the nine-day carnival returns just five years after the enormous success that saw the 2016 Championships top all expectations.

This year competitors come from 314 club’s nationwide and will compete in hundreds of events throughout nine days.

recently, and while the team is not putting huge stock in the scoreboard result, their ability to win each quarter and maintain momentum was pleasing.

Ms Koenen says there were clear improvements between the three games.

“We wanted to build on our performances and there was patches of brilliance; there were some really nice plays through attack and we turned over some good ball in defence as well,” she says. “It was just that consistency that was lacking and we wanted to step that up across those four quarters.

“Overall, we built on our performance.

There’s promising signs but there’s still a lot to learn and a long way to go, which is exciting.”

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Well, Easter holidays have arrived and so has the swell down at Bells Beach where they moved the event to Newcastle with an opening day of sloppy waves and not much on the horizon. The Bells Beach forecast looked epic! I reckon the locals would have been super-stoked not to have all the pros taking the waves. This weekend we will have waves but wind is predicted, so get in early.
