From the editor

I

was delighted to read journalist Candice Holznagel’s story on the benefits of outsourcing home duties this week. As a working mum of three, it really resonated with me, as I am sure it will with many of our readers.

With today’s increasingly busy lifestyle, and the soaring cost of living, most households require a dual income to stay afloat. But what about all the other chores? The housework, the washing, the cooking, let alone trying to find quality time to spend with the family – there simply isn’t enough hours in the day to do it all. An increasing number of women are turning to paid domestic help – and it’s not just cleaning.

Outsourcing time consuming chores such as laundry and meal preparation is lightening the load for many professional couples, allowing them more precious time to spend with their loved ones. That’s something you can’t put a price on. Turn to page 10 for the full story. Also in this issue, we have a fabulous school holiday fun guide to keep the kids busy, plus our Homegrown feature dishes up some delicious winter warmer ideas for you to try.

Enjoy the read!

AGENDA

AAP

Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek

CLOTHING INDUSTRY PUT ON NOTICE OVER WASTE Federal Environment Minister delivers ultimatum on voluntary scheme to reduce landfill: ‘Back it or I’ll make it mandatory’.

A

ustralia’s fashion industry must back a voluntary levy to clean up its act or the government will impose a mandatory one, the environment minister has warned.

Tanya Plibersek has detailed a new voluntary scheme to slash the mountain of clothing that winds up in landfill each year – about 10kg per person, on average.

Fashion companies will be asked to

apply a four cents-per-item levy, with that money to go into solutions to reduce the environmental burden of that waste.

But if the industry fails to back the scheme, the minister will step in.

“If the voluntary scheme is not viable – if we don’t believe it’s sufficient, or if it’s not raising enough money to cover its costs – then I will regulate,” Ms Plibersek

said at the launch of the scheme in Sydney recently.

“I will impose the system and I will set the levy.”

She said the scheme would have a year to establish itself.

The average Australian sends almost 10 kilograms of clothing waste to landfill each year.

That’s roughly the equivalent of two winter coats, six pairs of jeans, three dresses, five T-shirts, a pair of shoes and a bag of odd socks.

Multiply that by 25 million, and that’s a mountain of waste rotting in landfill – where it releases harmful chemicals and microplastics into the environment.

Most modern clothing contains some element of plastic, and often garments are entirely synthetic.

Plastic is typically made from fossil fuels. Combine that with the energy involved in manufacturing and transportation costs, and that makes fashion waste a climate-change problem, too.

“Microplastics are now being found in the human bloodstream, in our organs, even in breast milk and placentas,” Ms Plibersek said.

“Global textile production releases more carbon dioxide than the international flight and maritime shipping industries combined.”

She said the scheme would be focused on three main things: designing products that produce less waste, using materials ripe for recycling, and encouraging repair, remodelling and re-manufacturing.

It’s also about consumer education, and it will invest in systems to collect and sort textiles at the end of their life.

The scheme is being pushed by the Australian Fashion Council.

AUSSIES WARNED AGAINST ‘SINISTER SCAMS’ AT TAX TIME Australians are being urged to remain vigilant for ‘sinister scammers’ at tax time, with almost 20,000 suspicious reports made in the past year.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has already received 19,843 reports of scams in the 2022-23 financial year.

An increase in scam activity is expected as taxpayers prepare to lodge their returns.

Financial Services Minister Stephen Jones said ‘sinister scammers’ were targeting people at this time.

“We urge people to remain vigilant to scams all-year round, but especially at times when scammers are more likely to prey on individuals,” he said.

“The Albanese government is fighting back against scammers.”

Fraudsters may try to impersonate tax officials by contacting individuals via a link to a fake myGov login page.

Other methods include posing as the ATO on social media, and offering to help with tax and super questions.

The ATO does not send links to log in to their online services, or ask people to send personal information via social media, email or SMS. The government last month announced an $86.5 million package to tackle scams and online fraud.

FAST FACTS

Strawmelons and waterberries

Do you remember?

Did you know?

There is such thing as male PMS. Premenstrual syndrome – the collection of symptoms that hit women in the lead-up to their menstrual cycle – is the subject of many jokes. But medicine recognises the male equivalent, called ‘irritable male syndrome’: “hypersensitivity, frustration, anxiety and anger, associated with biochemical changes, hormonal fluctuations, stress and loss of male identity”.

By the numbers Raspberries, strawberries and blackberries aren’t true berries. The scientific definition of ‘berry’ is a plant that has three distinct layers: an outer skin, a fleshy middle and internally contained seeds. So because their seeds are on the outside, all those ‘berries’ aren’t actually berries. However, watermelon, bananas, grapes and eggplants are all technically berries.

FEATURE STORY

Ironing out household duties Sunshine Coast women are waking up to the advantages of outsourcing domestic chores – not just cleaning – that will allow them to spend more quality time with their family.

WORDS: Candice Holznagel.

W

hen an allied health professional first suggested outsourcing some of the home duties to lighten the load on our family, I shook my head emphatically.

“Why?” he questioned. “Why would you not accept some help? You have a career, two children, including a very active toddler, a husband who works a 70-hour week, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. And you know what? Even if as a family you didn’t have a lot on your plate, there is nothing wrong with receiving support or help.”

It was the first time someone had framed it this way. When a second person – a female professional who I admire – suggested the same, I began to think: ‘Is it really so bad?’

As she pointed out, our culture has not created a supportive environment for mothers. It isn’t particularly intentional.

Life is busy. People work more and for longer. That village-type community has dispersed and the days of simply ‘dropping in’ to pay someone a visit, or to offer a helping hand, have all but gone.

Despite the prevalence of inequality and feminism campaigns, there is no denying that women are also still caught between the mindset of two generations

– the desire and/or need to work, as well as the influence of our mothers and grandmothers who demonstrated our domestic roles.

My husband and I had always employed the help of a cleaner, even before the kids came along. Both working in fast-paced industries with deadlines and responsibilities, early-morning starts and late-night finishes, outsourcing the domestic cleaning meant that we could enjoy the weekends together.

But talk of outsourcing more than a fortnightly clean was foreign territory. I had two mental barriers to tackle. The first was the fear of being perceived as a failure – that generational belief instilled in so many women that it is our job and duty to keep the house in tip-top shape and dish up a healthy, tasty, fresh-cooked meal continued to rear its ugly head.

I couldn’t help by wonder: ‘What would my peers think?’

The second was justification of the spend. It seemed frivolous, overindulgent.

Would I be wasting my hard-earned wage?

But when we sat down and did the maths, it was obvious – I could work more (and further my career) with the added domestic help. Accepting additional help would also reduce our spend in other areas such as buying takeout or regularly

dining out. We were also providing employment to local people. Most importantly, it meant more time as a family. I could focus on work during set hours and then devote the rest of my day to our children without paid work or home work interfering as heavily.

For 12 months, we employed the help

“For the first time in a few years, I began to feel less burdened and to feel I didn’t have to rush my time with the kids” of a nanny for 18 hours a week, which meant our youngest could be cared for in our home while I worked from my home-based office.

It also meant we had some help with meal preparation and the laundry.

For the first time in a few years, I began to feel less burdened and to feel I didn’t have to rush my time with the kids.

When she left to travel abroad, we enrolled our son in day care for two days a

week and continued with the help of our cleaner and the addition of a lovely woman who comes into our home once a month to cook meals.

According to research from respected Harvard professor Ashley Whillans, outsourcing domestic duties can make you as happy as receiving an US$18,000 ($27,000) raise.

In her book Time Smart, Whillans breaks down time into monetary value and has highlighted the negatives associated with time poverty in recent articles in the Harvard Business Review.

Through her research, she discovered that time with family, doing the things we love, brought more happiness and joy.

It’s not surprising.

For Jeanette, a savvy businesswoman and mum of two teens, outsourcing the cleaning has meant more quality time for her family.

“I often outsource the cooking to something like Hello Fresh as it’s easy and it also promotes family time as we cook together with the kids,” she says.

Quality family time seems to be a common thread.

Another businesswoman, and mother of two, Roxanne says that by employing a cleaner, she is able to focus on her business during school hours and myweeklypreview.com.au

WHAT IS OUTSOURCING?

know the rest of her time can be devoted to the family.

“I want to spend the time when my kids are at home actually hanging out with them and being present in their afterschool activities,”she says.

“Weekends are full family time when my husband is home, so we don’t want to eat into that precious time cleaning the house. I love that we also get to support a small family business and our cleaner is the most amazing woman.”

Australia’s outsourcing industry is valued around $510 billion. Research from the Ruthven Institute shows that in 2021, the average Australian family spent more than $50,000 a year getting someone else to do their chores.

Keep in mind that this figure includes outsourcing travel and transport, education, childcare, takeaway, meal delivery and health services.

The report says that household outsourcing accounted for around 2.8 million jobs in the 2021/22 financial year.

Outsourcing is no longer a resource only available to the wealthy.

Everyday people are utilising the help of services to get them through

busy or stressful seasons.

Chef Paula, from Happy Home Chef, spends her days preparing wholesome healthy meals for families in their own homes, and says that during the past six years, her business has continued to grow.

“A lot of my clients are families who work from home running their own businesses,”she tells My Weekly Preview.

“They have kids and they haven’t got much time. They say to me that it is about creating more time to be with their families, and they are able to earn more money than do it (the cooking) themselves.

“Most of them had been living on takeaway food. It is so rewarding knowing that you are nourishing families.

“People think it’s expensive, but when you break it down per meal and look at the cost, it’s affordable.

“A lot of the families we cater for are outsourcing more. It used to be just a cleaner, but now people are outsourcing personal organisers, oven cleaners.

“You can get anything you want now and it means you get to spend that time with your kids rather than doing those mundane jobs.”

This is basically identifying domestic tasks and choosing which ones you are prepared to pay a professional to do for you. The key is to find someone who will do the work faster and cheaper than you could.

For mum-of-one Bec, hiring the help of a registered day care nanny when her son was a baby was a lifesaving decision.

As the single breadwinner, she needed the additional support.

“She would come and help me to learn breastfeeding, baby care and give me time to sleep. It saved my sanity,” she says.

“Since then, I have a fortnightly cleaner who does the harder stuff like cleaning

WHAT IS INSOURCING? Just as it sounds, insourcing is the method of utilising the people in your home to help with the domestic tasks.

The first step is to sit down together and decide what chores should be shared and allocated. Involving the kids at this level will create a sense of ownership and responsibility.

Consider creating a job sheet or roster for the family to follow. Or, make it fun and create a game by asking each family member to take part in a lucky dip and draw out their jobs for the week. Choose tasks that are age -appropriate and won’t overwhelm each family member.

And, don’t forget to say thank you to your children for contributing. Not

windows, floors, blinds, carpet shampoos.

These are the things I can’t get time for while working full-time.”

For Lara, a small business owner and mum of two, ironing and cleaning are her biggest time zappers.

She says hiring help in these two areas is a financial decision.

“When I’m not cleaning or ironing, I can work, and even with the fees we have to pay for the cleaners, I’m still coming out in front and making some money,” she tells My Weekly Preview.

“I’ve tried to do it all but it’s just not possible. As a family, we have also adopted the method of insourcing.

“The kids have set tasks that they have to complete. Our eldest is responsible on a daily basis for checking the dogs’ water and food and walking them.

“Our youngest makes her bed and is encouraged to help put away the folding.

“Our aim is to teach them responsibility and the value of time.

“They need to see that everything I do takes time and that time is a valuable commodity.

“Helping around the house teaches them appreciation of all that they have been given.”

only does it teach them the importance of appreciation, but feeling useful will also help bolster their confidence and sense of responsibility.

Here are some tasks to insource: • feed and walk the pets • take out the bins • stack and unstack the dishwasher • set the table • make lunches – or the littlies can help gather the ingredients/supplies from the fridge and cupboard • gather the library books for returning • take the dirty clothes basket to the laundry and sort colours/whites • water the plants • help put away the groceries • make the beds • replace used towels with fresh ones.

CHARGING AHEAD

M

aroochydore is one of 33 new regional towns chosen to receive charging infrastructure as part of a $20 million investment to almost double the size of Queensland’s electric “super highway”.

Another 44 electric carcharging stations will be rolled out in the latest extension of the state government project, with companies including Tesla and RACQ co-funding the installation.

The investment comes as the number of electric vehicles registered in Queensland topped 20,000 and after the batterypowered cars made up eight per cent of new car sales in April 2023

– up from 3.8 per cent in 2022.

Queensland Transport Minister Mark Bailey says the government will invest $10 million in the latest stage of the car-charging highway, which launched in 2017.

“This will nearly double the amount of government-funded charging sites, expanding the facilities into regional areas,” Mr Bailey says. “By the time the new stations are up and running, our state will have one of the widest spread charging network[s] in the country.”

Queensland’s “electric super highway” is already set to feature 55 electric vehicle charging stations, including

established chargers from Port Douglas in the north to Coolangatta in the south, and many under construction in western towns.

Queensland Energy Minister Mick de Brenni says the project is an important investment in zero-emission transport and quieter roads but will also support tourism in regional areas.

“Securing more chargers up and down Queensland means EV owners have even more opportunity to get out and explore all the beauty and wonder our great state has to offer,” he says.

The 33 new towns chosen to receive charging infrastructure also include Ormeau on the Gold Coast and regional centres such as Rockhampton, Toowoomba and Townsville.

Tesla, Evie Networks, RACQ, Engie and the NRMA will co-fund and build the infrastructure, with chargers expected to be operating by the end of 2024. The new infrastructure will boost Australia’s network of 4943 stations in December 2022 – up from 3413 in 2021.

WORKS START ON OVERDUE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS IN COOLUM A $1 million project to upgrade pedestrian access on David Low Way and Scrub Road is finally a step closer, with design work now underway.

A new pedestrian refuge on David Low Way will be installed as part of the project, along with a dedicated right-turn lane at the intersection of Scrub Road.

Ninderry MP Dan Purdie welcomes the news, saying the community has been extremely patient after funding was first announced in 2021.

“The community have been asking for better pedestrian facilities in this area, as there are only a handful of locations to safely cross David Low Way, which is one of the busiest roads in our region,” Mr Purdie says.

Mr Purdie says he planned to call for more investment in local road infrastructure projects as part of this week’s State Budget.

“We need the investment now, so we can not only make

sure our road network is safe for all users, but can also accommodate the increased volume of traffic that is anticipated as our region continues to grow.”

Mr Purdie says he is waiting for further information about the expected timeframe for the upgrade of pedestrian facilities but hopes the design work will be completed before the end of the year.

Show manager Penny Walsh says the 117th annual show is gearing up to be the biggest and best yet, with a unique mix of tradition and new-age entertainment at great value for money.

“For more than 100 years, the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show has given local people and local businesses a platform to showcase their products, their animals and their amazing skills to our community,” she says.

“That wonderful and important tradition, along with all the others people know and love, will be back at the

WE’VE GOT THE COAST COVERED SUNSHINE COAST, NOOSA & THE HINTERLAND

Nambour Showgrounds in 2023.”

Ms Walsh says show-goers can experience high-octane V8 Supercars on the Saturday and Sunday, plus highadrenaline motorbikes with Aussie FMX stunt riders.

There will also be the Ferris wheel, fairy floss, a petting zoo, cattle judging, show jumping, wood chopping and Dagwood dogs.

“This year’s show will also feature a Freedom of Entry march on Saturday, June 17, involving the Australian Air Force Cadets’ Nambour Squadron,” Ms Walsh says.

“Around 200 cadets will march to the main gate of the showgrounds where they’ll be addressed by the Mayor and Queensland Police, as they request Freedom of Entry into Nambour as part of their 80th birthday celebrations.”

Gate will be open from 9am to 10pm each day, with a fireworks display running on the Friday and Saturday night at 8pm, and 7pm on the Sunday.

Sunshine Coast showjumpers are set to benefit from a recent million-dollar makeover of the region’s largest equestrian arena. The Moss Day Pavilion at Nambour Showgrounds has received a refurbished equestrian arena, with a new roof and structure over a first-class riding surface and new judges’ box. Sunshine Coast Council division 10 Councillor David Law says this is an exciting boost for the 14.5 hectare recreational, sporting and events facility.

GETTING THERE There are several public transport and parking options, including a shuttle bus, for showgoers attending the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show.

While accessible parking is available, other on-site parking will be limited.

Public car parking will be available at MacKellar Mining Depot on National Park Road, opposite Ken Mills Toyota, for $5.

Otherwise, the Crushers Rugby League Club car park will be open at 22 Crusher Park Drive, Nambour, for $10.

A free shuttle bus service will run from the Nambour Train Station to Nambour Showgrounds throughout the day until after the fireworks in the evening.

DID YOU KNOW?

LifeFlight Australia chair Jim Elder and Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk

FUNDS TO THE RESCUE A major state government commitment will ensure LifeFlight can grow its services and future proof operations.

A

vital Sunshine Coast-based rescue service is set to benefit from a funding commitment worth hundreds-of-millions of dollars and a new purpose-built hangar.

LifeFlight will receive more than $586 million in state government funding during the next 10 years.

A total of $18.63 million of that will be

allocated for the new base to be built at the Aerospace Precinct at Sunshine Coast Airport.

LifeFlight CEO Ashley Mr van de Velde says the funding will future proof the group’s search, rescue and aeromedical services, which bring equity of healthcare to people across the state.

“For more than 40 years, LifeFlight

IMAGE: LIFEFLIGHT

In 2022, the Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight rescue helicopter helped 448 people and spent 673 hours in the air at a cost of about $11.2 million. That service came at no cost to patients. Across the country, LifeFlight Australia crews went to the aid of 6978 people.

Australia has been Queensland’s largest community helicopter rescue service, delivering emergency response, critical medical care and inter-hospital airlifts to seriously ill and injured people,” he says.

“The announcement ensures that we can continue to provide this vital rescue service to the people of Queensland, with the assurance that emergency medical care is available 24/7, 365 days a year, no matter where you live.”

The purpose-built hangar will give LifeFlight the versatility – if operationally required – to immediately house two AW139 RACQ LifeFlight rescue helicopters and one Challenger 604 air ambulance jet.

“When completed, this base will give us the flexibility to accommodate various combinations of aircraft from the LifeFlight fleet, depending on the needs of the state’s aeromedical network,” Mr van de Velde says.

“It may be two choppers and a jet. It might be multiple helicopters.”

The base will include crew accommodation and other improved facilities, larger engineering areas, direct ambulance access to the hangar, and more space for support and administration staff, plus a visitor centre.

Construction of the new base will take about 11 months and should start early next year, following a tender process.

The remainder of the funding will be used to upgrade equipment, including a modern power-stretcher loading system compatible with Queensland Ambulance Service stretchers and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

It will also allow LifeFlight to be able to upgrade ageing helicopters, create centralised maintenance facilities and invest in aeromedical infrastructure in regional Queensland.

The Roy and Nola Thompson LifeFlight Hangar, which houses the service’s current operations, will be retained by the service.

Sunshine Coast Airport is helping to guarantee the future of LifeFlight, with generous terms on a 20-plus-year lease of a parcel of land that will be large enough to build the current planned base, as well as allowing room for expansion in the decades ahead.

“This brand has been created for the community, by the community, and was a key activation project of the Downtown Caloundra Taskforce which is made up of local business and community members.”

Local business owner and Caloundra ambassador Kim McCosker says it is a

UNASSUMING CHARACTER A vibrant beachside town has taken on a bold new image.

A

popular and picturesque beachside town has received a refreshing new look, thanks to a passionate team of business and community groups.

After a year of consultation and extensive research, Caloundra now has a vibrant and welcoming new brand, which aims to help promote the town as the ideal place to live, work and play.

New street banners are flying from the poles along Bulcock Street with the colour palette emphasising a retro-flavour inspired

by the sun, sea and nature. An impressive mural-like artwork, implemented by Caloundra artist Steven Bordonaro, has brought the exterior of the Sunshine Coast Council’s customer service centre at to life, with an image of popular Bulcock Beach.

The new brand embraces the use of a winky face and ‘un’ words to capture many of Caloundra’s “unique, fun, unforgettable and stunning” qualities, including its pristine beaches and friendly locals.

About Team Australia Australia will send 64 athletes with an intellectual disability to Berlin for the Special Olympics World Games, beginning on June 17. Aussie athletes will compete in nine sports, including athletics, basketball, bocce, bowling, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, swimming, tennis, alongside 7000 athletes from 170 countries.

GOING FOR GOLD Runner Jack Craig-Daley is jetting off to Germany this month to compete in the Special Olympics World Games. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

B

A speedy runner, with a particular passion for the 400-metre distance, sporting has made a world of difference to Jack’s life.

Living with autism and an intellectual disability, it was when he was in his final year at Currimundi Special School that he first found out about the Special Olympics.

eerwah’s Jack Craig-Daley is set to hit the world sporting stage this week, proudly wearing the green and gold as he represents Australia.

The 20-year-old has qualified to compete at the Special Olympics World Games in Berlin, which are taking place from June 17 to 25.

Jack’s mum, Tessa Craig, says running has given her son a sense of focus and self-awareness.

“Jack went through some stages when he started to realise he was a bit different and during that teenage ‘self-searching’ stage he had some blue days,” she says.

“When he found what he was good at – and I was delighted it was something sporty – he has become much more self-aware and much more comfortable in his own skin.

“I think he is really proud of himself too and his achievements.

“It has given him some focus and energy. His health is brilliant at the moment, he is eating well and exercising.

It’s really great for the neurological connections as well.”

To qualify for the Special Olympics World Games, Jack made it through the

state round, and then the national round in Tasmania in October last year.

At the national event he came home with a gold in the 400-metre sprint and silver in the 200-metre and relay races.

Jack in the only athlete from the Sunshine Coast to make the world games, and one of 64 Australian athletes heading to Berlin. He has been training under Tony Doherty at the University of the Sunshine Coast track, who Ms Craig says is a “fabulous driver and coach”.

“Tony has given Jack a few tips and he has followed those and his form has improved so much, and his coordination has improved too.”

Looking ahead, Ms Craig says Jack has his sights set on distance running, and is enjoying regular Parkruns at Golden Beach every Saturday.

“With sprinting, he is aware that he will eventually get older and grow out of it and he is hoping to move into distance running. He is looking at possibly running marathons in the future.”

About the Special Olympics The Special Olympics is a sporting organisation for people with intellectual disabilities that has grown from a backyard camp in the United States 50 years ago into a global movement. It began in Australia in 1976 and there are now more than 700 participants nationwide.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

Hello everyone, On Friday, June 2, I was proud to take part in the inaugural Sunshine Coast Infrastructure Summit.

The summit was an opportunity to bring together government, business and community leaders to identify and inform a new blueprint for the infrastructure priorities for the Sunshine Coast out to 2050.

The common goal of the summit was to ensure that we get the infrastructure mix right to support the liveability, prosperity and sustainability of our community in the decades to come.

And while the significance of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games was acknowledged, so too was the need to look beyond this significant event to ensure that we have the right infrastructure in place long after the Games.

The key to success, of course, is working together and I would like to thank the Sunshine Coast Business Council and Infrastructure Association of Queensland for joining forces with Council to deliver the summit.

We will now strive to harness the power of collaboration that was provided at the summit to create a better future for our community. Stay tuned.

Trash to treasure: The tool saving money and the planet Aspire to make a difference to the local environment through this Council program.

SEACHANGE HELPS DRIVE CARAVAN REVOLUTION A move to an emerging industry hub is helping an eco-friendly manufacturer “revolutionise the caravan industry’’.

Link Composites, now operating out of the Coolum Eco-Industrial Park, is on the road to national success after evolving from manual to automated production.

Their fully automated continuous production line with CNC cutting, has increased production by 500 per cent, turning out 12,000m of product per month, four metres per minute and only running at 20 per cent capacity.

With markets in Australia and New Zealand, Link Composites are positioned perfectly to manage increased demand as more caravan and RV manufacturers make the switch to fibreglass.

The expansion is forecast to see a total economic impact (direct and indirect) of $10.5 million in capital expenditure and 32 new local jobs, some of which will be specialist roles in robotics and mechatronics.

Interested apprentices, graduates, composite technicians and tradespeople should contact the business directly.

This is a great example of Australian manufacturing excellence coming out of the Sunshine Coast.

Rockcote employee Tessa Kruyer diverting waste to Yandina Community Gardens’ Food Loop program

F

rom timber and metal to stationery; and crafts and organics to soils, a range of material otherwise destined for landfill is being traded – and given new purpose – using the online marketplacestyle ASPIRE platform.

This connects likeminded local businesses and organisations who can negotiate exchanges that save money – and the planet.

Sunshine Coast Council was one of the first councils in Queensland to invest in ASPIRE. Now the initiative has reached a major milestone here, attracting 300 members and diverting more than 3200 tonnes of waste-bound material and

products – that’s around 29,000 fridges.

The members include family-run businesses, large manufacturers, community and sporting groups, schools and childcare centres.

It is accessible for all organisations with an ABN and is free if you have fewer than 100 full-time staff.

Early adopters of the platform are two local businesses Rockcote, Australia’s leading paint manufacturer, partnering with the Yandina Community Gardens’ Food Loop program.

Rockcote Circular Economy champion Jacqui Meldrum says The Food Loop program enables them to find a better way to reduce their waste footprint.

“We were thrilled to join with the team at Yandina Community Gardens and ASPIRE to divert organic kitchen and meal leftovers from landfill to create the best organic compost a garden can have,” Ms Meldurm says.

Find out more by searching ‘Circular Economy’ on Council’s website.

NEW ERA AND GREAT EVENTS FOR LANDSBOROUGH MUSEUM Looking for something to do these school holidays? Look no further than the state-heritagelisted Landsborough Museum, which is now a free-to-enter Council facility, with free events and programs the whole family will enjoy.

Over the past 12 months, staff and dedicated volunteers have been cataloguing, interpreting, and managing the collection, which was gifted to Council by the Landsborough and District Historical Society in 2022.

Divisional Councillor Rick Baberowski says visitors can now enjoy extended opening hours.

“You can now visit from 10am – 3pm, Wednesday to Sunday and enjoy an exciting and varied range of monthly events, workshops, and kids’ activities,” Cr Baberowski says.

The museum is located at 4 Maleny Street.

Pick your swim distance – either one, three or five kilometres – and join in to raise money for community swim-education programs to prevent drownings. Last year, 54 rescues were conducted at Alexandra Headland, and a total of 340 lives were lost in water accidents across Australia, due to a lack of water safety, swimming competency and surf awareness. Cost for entrants this year is $65. Visit alexandrarotary.com for details and registration. Spectators are encouraged to head along and support the swimmers for the event, with the first race beginning at 8.20am.

Friends for Friends meetings The Friends for Friends group helps combat feelings of isolation for seniors and improves their health and wellbeing. The group meets every Friday from 1-3.30pm at the CCSA Hall in Nutley Street, Caloundra.

The program offers entertainment for the group for the first hour. Afternoon tea is supplied and games such as bingo and hoy are then played. Once a month, there is a

OUR UNI RECEIVES A ‘GOLD STAR’ IN SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES The University of the Sunshine Coast’s focus on sustainability has been recognised with a lofty position in a major global ranking.

UniSC topped Queensland and was named among the world’s top two per cent of universities in the 2023 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings.

These rankings assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

The rankings compare research, stewardship, outreach and teaching.

UniSC placed 29 overall out of 1591 institutions worldwide and was third for

clean water and sanitation.

UniSC Vice-Chancellor and president Professor Helen Bartlett says it is a phenomenal outcome, as UniSC improved its position across categories.

“We are going from strength to strength, and to be named among the world’s top three universities for clean water and sanitation is a wonderful recognition,” she says.

“We can be proud to see that we are practising our sustainability values every day and ensuring that our campus operations are in alignment with these global sustainability goals.”

BY THE NUMBERS

DID YOU KNOW? Mount Annapurna is the 10th-highest mountain in the world at 8091 metres above sea level.

Mount Everest is 8849 metres, while Australia’s tallest mountain, Mount Kosciuszko, has an elevation of 2228 metres.

HEIGHT OF COMMITMENT Sunshine Coast hikers have demonstrated mountainous support for Parkinson’s disease in a recent trek. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

group of trekkers from the Sunshine Coast recently embarked on a mission of Everest proportions to help younger Australians facing a debilitating diagnosis.

Every year, Gary McKitterick Gillett forms a team of avid hikers to tackle the Himalayas and raise money for and

awareness of Parkinson’s disease.

After months hiking local mountains to prepare for the 2023 Trek for Parkinson’s, Mr McKitterick Gillett and a team of 13 left for Nepal in May for the adventure.

They hiked for 15 days, climbing 4130 metres to reach the Mount Annapurna Base Camp. On the team this year was

LOCAL HAIL REPAIR CENTRE Offering Discounted Insurance Excess

• Parkinson’s is the second-most common neurological disease in Australia after dementia.

• The disease affects an estimated 10 million individuals worldwide and 150,000 in Australia.

• 38 Aussies are diagnosed with the disease every day.

• 20 per cent of sufferers are under 50 years old and 10 per cent are diagnosed before the age of 40.

48-year-old Sandra Gerschwitz, who lives each day with the effects of early onset Parkinson’s disease.

Raising $11,100 for the Shake it Up Australia Foundation, Mr McKitterick Gillett says he hopes this year’s trek will bring a focus on how a diagnosis can impact people under the age of 50.

“What an amazing example Sandra Gerschwitz has set for other young people diagnosed with this disease – setting goals, training hard, enlisting help from professionals and never giving up,” he says.

“Sandra put in some very big days while in the Himalayas, supported by fellow trekkers, and our ever-faithful guides from Nepal Spirit Adventure, Vikram and Tony.

“Sandra reached Mount Annapurna Base Camp and returned safely. A wonderful achievement.”

Mr McKitterick Gillett, who runs Trek Ready Himalayas, says this year’s hike did not go without its challenges on and off the mountain.

Poor weather shut down local airports in Nepal, making it difficult to reach the start of the trek, while the team also had to overcome a list of other obstacles along the journey.

“We all got an adventure – some more than they anticipated,” Mr McKitterick Gillett says.

“We dealt with remoteness, altitude, food, bathrooms, showers (or not), weather, sunshine, rain, hail, sleet and snow – sometimes all in the same day, not to mention fatigue, Parkinson’s disease and WiFi access and, of course, language.”

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive, degenerative neurological condition that affects a person’s control of their body movements.

The Shake It Up Australia Foundation, established in 2011 and in partnership with The Michael J. Fox Foundation, promotes and funds Parkinson’s disease research in Australia.

The research is aimed at better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

Beautifying shopfronts Funding is now available to help Nambour businesses create a powerful first impression on their shopfronts and attract more customers.

The move is aimed at boosting businesses and improving the experience for shoppers in Nambour. Improvements could include a fresh coat of paint to eye-catching signage, well-lit displays, vibrant greenery or better accessibility.

As a commitment in investing in the Nambour business district, the council will support matched funding up to $5000. I encourage businesses to apply now for a grant to help increase footfall and patronage with customers. Visit iamnambour.com.au./nambourshopfront-improvement-program.

More to do in Nambour I am extremely pleased that the Nambour Town Markets are back on Thursdays.

The markets are located on the corner of Lowe and Short streets and bring a mix a fresh food, handmade

homewares, bric-a-brac and more.

The markets will be on every Thursday from 9am to 2pm. I’d like to thank the Nambour Chamber of Commerce for supporting this great event each week.

Monthly Nambour Forecourt Live! events, jointly presented by Sunshine Coast Council and Peace Run Records, are also delivered on the last Friday of each month, offering live music, food trucks, face painting and art and craft workshops.

NAIDOC Week Celebrate NAIDOC Week 2023 on the Sunshine Coast with a range of events from July 2.

This year’s NAIDOC Week theme is: “For Our Elders”. Across every generation, our Elders have played and continue to play an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families.

Lisa Rowe, Wishlist CEO

THERE’S NO ACCOUNTING FOR A GENEROUS SPIRIT It takes a brave man to walk into a hungry lion’s den once, let alone return every year.

But if you think that’s brave, then you haven’t met Rob Thornthwaite.

Fifteen years ago, Rob stepped up to lend a hand to a couple of very busy fundraisers at what was then the Sunshine Coast Health Services Foundation (now Wishlist).

A critical staff shortage fell during a busy time of year.

Let’s just say that accountancy experience was lacking between the two team members.

Undeterred by the screams emanating from the donger behind Nambour Hospital (our old office), Rob and partner Johan put up their hand to help out.

And they have been providing pro

bono accountancy services to Wishlist ever since. Through thick and thin, Rob’s calm and professional approach to stresses that would break lesser men has been an inspiration and a tonic to the Wishlist team.

He asks little of Wishlist in return for his professional services, except for acknowledgement as a Wishlist corporate partner – delivered with pride, I will say – and to be taken out to lunch to celebrate the end of audit each year.

We’re more than happy to oblige!

Rob is a quiet, unassuming, generous man who (like all Wishlist partners) need not complicate his busy life by supporting a charity.

He and Johan have just committed to another two years of service to Wishlist.

To Rob, Johan and the team at FTA Accountants, we thank you for the work you do for Wishlist and all that your support helps us deliver to Coast health services and local families.

To Rob, a better man it’s hard to find.

Thank you for believing in the work of Wishlist all those years ago, and for continuing to back a much bigger organisation today.

You’ve played a pivotal part in our history and in our growth.

And we will be eternally grateful for the many laughs along the way.

MY OPINION

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

SHOW THAT YOU CARE

Jane Stephens is concerned at the staggering amount of landfill we are piling up each year due to bad planning and over-indulgence.

Ashley Robinson has always loved the Nambour show – a day for city and country folk to rub shoulders and celebrate all things rural.

T

he amount of food we waste is staggering. With financial times tight and the latest interest rate hike further yarding in the drawstring, it makes little sense.

The Sunshine Coast Council estimates one-third of food bought here is wasted.

A third. Horrendous. It is not as if we mean to: we don’t buy groceries and order our Chinese takeaway or fish and chips with the intention of chucking a third of it in the bin. It just happens as a consequence of bad planning or our eyes being too big for our bellies.

There’s a bit of milk left but the best-before date is here. Into the bin it goes. The rest of a head of lettuce looks a bit sad. It joins the milk carton in the bin.

We wear the detritus of generations past, where poverty and wartime made people ungenerous with everything, including food. Over-catering now is a sign of wealth and generosity and shores up the feeling that we are doing okay.

But the wastage is staggering and out of kilter with the sustainable, ‘live lightly’ focus our era is being forced to adopt.

The Brisbane City Council has done further analysis on that city’s wheelie bin

contents, finding the food most wasted is bread, with 19 million tonnes of the stuff ending up in landfill every year. Then comes meat and salad greens.

These very expensive ‘burgers’ cause such avoidable damage to our environment and are the result of accidental extravagance.

Years ago, I recall being equally horrified and impressed at my friend’s system of planning out household meals for the week and then shopping for those ingredients only. It seemed a bit miserly at the time, but certainly saved her stacks of money. Controlled grocery shopping is what we are being encouraged to do – that and starting worm farms and compost systems where there are none.

Happily, some of our waste is caught and put to good use. OzHarvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie rescues and redistributes 15,000kg of surplus food to charities and other good causes. On our sister Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada, there are now financial consequences for putting food waste and recyclable paper in regular garbage bins.

Surely we can correct wasteful ways without bringing out the big stick here.

Dr Jane Stephens is a UniSC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.

O

ne of my favourite times of the year is the Sunshine Coast Show at Nambour. And it’s on this week – a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our rural past and future.

As a short, fat child, I used to endeavour to eat my way down sideshow alley. But before I was let loose, I had to pretend to be interested in the displays, whether Dad had entered a pineapple or Mum a cake, scone or jam in the ‘best of show’ categories. I used to be like a staffy on a lead at the beach – just pulling like mad to get to the fun stuff.

When I finally got off the lead, I would be gone until my paper-run money ran out, then back to Mum or Dad separately to weasel some more funds from them.

Dagwood dogs – seriously, if there was an Olympic category in the 1960s for how many you could eat, I would have been the Mark Spitz or GOAT (greatest of all time) in that department. All would be washed down with Coke or Wimmer’s sarsaparilla and soft serve ice cream.

In between power eating and drinking, there were the rides. Some did chance

losing everything that I had just consumed, but it was always a risk worth taking. House of horrors, ghost train, the bearded lady, Fred Brophy’s boxing tent (“Come one, come all” – mostly from the bar) and heaps of other attractions kept people entertained and the cash register ticking over.

As a kid growing up and out, I wasn’t really aware of how important these local shows are for our past, present and future.

They are run by volunteers, offering all types of entertainment and allowing most aspects of rural life to come together with a coastal community. It was awesome then and it’s awesome now.

On June 16, there is another reason I think about the show. I have written about this many times, so sorry for that, but that is the day my Dad died 39 years ago.

His last words as he drove past the Nambour Showgrounds in pelting rain were: “I feel sorry for those sideshow people”. He passed away 60 seconds later.

So, if you get a chance, go to the show, and remember to tell those around you that you love them. You never know what can happen next.

MY OPINION

WHY GENUINE INTERACTIONS MATTER

A MAGICAL TRANSFORMATION Sami Muirhead has told her children the nightmare tale of the influencer, the witch and the garden hose.

M

uch of my early adult years is a blur. Ask me to recall any specific memories between 18 and 25 and you will usually be met with a blank look (and yet somehow I managed to get a degree during this period).

But there is one memory that is etched in my fog – one night impossible to forget. It involves my mother, a garden hose, and nerdy me trying to impress the coolest friend I had. Let me give you some context: I have just returned from Grandparents Day at school where my three kids fussed and fawned over my 83-year-old mother. The day is a very important one on the school calendar.

Principal Anna Owen made very clever comparisons between wizards and grandparents. They both often have silver hair; they remember times the rest of us cannot (time travel); and they spread magic by means of sneaky ice cream bowls or trips to the movies.

My mother loves to put on a midnight feast for her grandkids. I explain that my kids do not need to eat lollies in the middle of the night as I will be the sucker holding their hands when they get fillings at the dentist. Yet, Mum was very strict

with me growing up and took no prisoners in teaching manners and enforcing rules.

My kids’ jaws were on the ground when I told them my Kara Chiconi nightmare tale. Kara was the blonde bombshell at university. She wore the latest clothing and seemed a decade older than the rest of us. One morning, I dropped into her house to find her wearing a pale-pink feather gown with matching slippers and a tray on her lap with coffee and toast. I had never seen anything so fabulous in all my life.

Anyway, after a big night drinking West Coast Coolers and smoking countless Benson and Hedges, we snuck in to Mum’s garage and stole a cask of wine before proceeding to the garden. We were clearly making heaps of noise in our drunken stupor when Mum appeared in her purple pyjamas, wielding the hose.

She turned that hose onto Kara and her fabulous outfit and wonderful hair.

The teenager didn’t look so fabulous when my Mum was done with us.

My eight-year-old can now be heard saying: “Don’t squirt me with the hose, Grammy’’ when he is in trouble. Those silver-haired wizards in our life were actually witches, too.

WORDS: Emma Davidson, Special Counsel, Travis Schultz & Partners

I

have always been interested in how lawyers generate work. When I speak to people about what I do, it’s frequently met with: “Oh … so, you’re an ambulance chaser”.

It seems the movie The Rainmaker and American litigation culture has permeated public perception of the law I practise and how we obtain clients. Aside from how I feel about that behaviour from an ethical standpoint, the law in Queensland is clear in its strict prohibition of what might otherwise be known as “ambulance chasing”.

I was fortunate to initially work for a firm which did not spend a great deal of money on advertising and were instead reliant on word-of-mouth referrals. It taught me to never take for granted the impact we have on those around us, and how that might assist (or come back to bite us) in the future.

I was reminded of this while looking over data for new matters recently. Very few clients had come from traditional or digital advertising. Instead, the vast bulk came from word-of-mouth connections we might otherwise take for granted.

One that stood out to me was an entry: “Rented a house from (colleague) 20 years ago.” I spoke to my colleagues about how profound this impact was and one mentioned that “you always leave fingerprints”. I haven’t stopped thinking about that since.

I am certain most of my professional colleagues work hard to advocate for their clients, but it is worth considering how quickly that hard work goes down the

drain when we are not fair on fees, inflexible, or so out of touch that those we are here to advocate for, our clients, are put last. It is also worth considering our impact during litigation.

If you are consistently aggressive in your approach, how likely would a counterpart be to think of you when they need help? Your impact is also not lost on barristers and mediators who might think twice about you before referring. And that doesn’t mean you should be passive in case it might work in your favour. You can be firm in your advocacy while still being fair.

My advice to those looking to build relationships is simple: 1. Say yes to that local professional catch-up.

2. Give before you take and pay it forward when you can.

3. Be genuine – it you’re not connecting with someone, just move on.

4. Be a strong advocate and an effective communicator (it will save your clients time and money).

5. Make your legal points in an evenhanded and fair way. Your reputation is your currency – it only takes minutes to destroy years of hard work, so be proactive about maintaining a positive reputation.

It is always worth stepping back and looking at the big picture every now and then. Kindness takes courage and the simple acts of being fair, compassionate and kind might mean you are privileged enough to be asked to help if you are needed in the future.

Deliciously nutty Made with delectable chunks of ground roasted macadamias, Nutworks’ macadamia butter has a nutty, creamy flavour you won’t find anywhere else.

While all nut butters are delicious in their own ways and make great plant-based snack alternatives, macadamia butter has a signature buttery taste that easily trumps the others – and that’s before all of its health

benefits. Due to its main ingredient being macadamias, the butter is full of monounsaturated fats that have been shown to promote heart health.

It's also low in carbs and rich in nutrients like vitamin E and protein, making it a healthy and delicious gourmet pantry-stocker.

While good enough to eat by itself (and rather tempting to eat straight out of

Delicious chunks of freshly ground, roasted macadamias in the creamiest natural macadamia butter.

Enjoy twice the goodness this month:

the jar with a spoon), there are all kinds of ways to use macadamia butter and take advantage of its rich, creamy goodness.

As a spread: Due to it being a great source of protein and healthy fats, macadamia butter is naturally satiating and filling, meaning many like to eat it best as a simple spread on fresh bread, toast or crackers.

In smoothies: Nutty flavours pair amazingly with tropical fruits, berries and spices. Because of this, macadamia butter is a great addition to all kinds of smoothies and a great healthy alternative to other creamy substitutes.

In curries: Nut butters have always been an important ingredient in curries and laksas. Macadamia butter is certainly no different. Its subtle, nutty taste works as a perfect complement to spicy concoctions and stronger flavours.

In desserts: Macadamia butter makes for a flavourful and creamy addition to any dessert and works especially well in icings paired with honey or maple syrup.

When mixed in with some cocoa and similar sweeteners, it also makes for a healthy and homemade alternative to choc-nut spreads.

As a substitute: It is right there in the name. Similar to how olive oil and avocados are used as a replacement for butter, macadamia butter is a healthy alternative to the many traditional uses of butter in recipes.

In milk: To receive all of the benefits of macadamia butter in liquid form, blend it in with some water and to add to your morning cuppa.

How to store herbs

Ingredients • 6 chicken thighs • 1 carrot, diced • 2 sticks of celery, diced • 1 onion, diced • 1 cup risoni • 6 cups chicken stock or water • 1 tbsp dill, chopped

We’ve all had that one recipe that requires just one tablespoon of a certain fresh herb. We always tell ourselves we’ll make something with the rest of the bunch so it doesn’t go to waste. But then it just sits in the bottom of your fridge drawer until it wilts and eventually dies.

Seasons IGA has a clever hack that will ensure you have any herb on hand, all year round.

1. Rinse your herbs and dry them thoroughly with a paper towel.

Method

2. Remove hard stalks and chop as desired.

1. In a large pot, bring chicken, stock, onion, carrot and celery to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, skimming the top occasionally. Season with salt.

3. Place herbs in ice cube trays and top up with olive oil. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours or until set.

4. Once frozen, unmould the trays and store them back in the freezer in labelled airtight containers or bags.

5. Use one to two cubes by adding to the base of any recipe that calls for herbs.

2. Add risoni and cook for a further 15 minutes until the risoni is tender. Remove chicken thighs from the soup, and shred then return to the pot.

dish.

3. Serve with chopped dill and a dash of extra virgin olive oil on top and a side of lemon wedges.

Chicken and risoni soup Serves: 6 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 30 minutes This all-in-one meal is a perfect winter staple you need to add to your repertoire.

Packed full of protein, vegetables and comfort, this hearty dish will keep tummies full and the body warm.

SEE A DR. SEUSS CLASSIC COME TO LIFE ON STAGE Yikes! The school holidays are coming. So, the question is: what do you do with your Thing One and Thing 2? Bring all the family members to The Cat in the Hat for an experience they’ll never forget. In 1957, Dr. Seuss used only 200 words to write his classic tale. More than 60 years later, The Cat in the Hat is a much-loved children’s phenomenon. The play was adapted for the stage in 2009 by the National Theatre of Britain and is coming to The Events Centre, Caloundra, on June 30. The Cat in The Hat interrupts a rainy afternoon with his unexpected visit to Sally and her brother’s cosy home. Along with Thing One and Thing Two, the cat will fill the theatre with mischievous humour and madcap style.

Elemental is directed by Peter Sohn (The Good Dinosaur, Partly Cloudy short), produced by Denise Ream (The Good Dinosaur, Cars 2), and featuring the voices of Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie as Ember and Wade, respectively.

HEADSCARF AND SUNGLASSES AT THE READY Club in Redland Bay. And so began a friendship spanning close to 15 years.

Now both on their own with families grown up and independent, the ladies found themselves considering where they would like to live as they headed toward retirement.

But as full retirement approaches, she looks forward to settling in properly, making friends and getting more involved in her new community.

“My place is closer to The Clubhouse than Jo’s,” she chuckles. “So, we’ve decided it will be the gathering point before we go out.

“It’s great that you have all these things on your doorstep. You don’t need to get in the car and find a park. Everything is so easy because you can walk there.”

Through community interest groups, Jo has already begun learning to paint watercolours and is eyeing a jewellerymaking course, too.

“Once I have more time, I might pick up racquetball or pickleball,” Jo says.

Meanwhile, Andrea has taken up lawn bowls in preparation for her move north.

“I quite like watching the AFL,” Andrea says. “I’m hoping I’ll meet some people to watch it with.”

For both women, being a part of a community was an essential factor in their decision.

“When you are older and on your own, it’s important to be somewhere you can make new connections,” Jo says. “Once Andrea moves up, it will be nice to have someone to explore the area with, too.”

hen your best friend moves to the Sunshine Coast, it’s only fitting that you pack your bags and hit the road to join them.

Jo Cook and Andrea Curtain first met while fundraising together at a Rotary

Jo, who still works full-time for Suncorp, was the first to make a move, buying off the plan at Halcyon Nirimba in Stockland’s master-planned Aura community. She moved there in early ’22.

“I can work from home and have a nice office set up at the front of the house.

After hours, there are plenty of things to do. I use the gym or pool most mornings before starting work, too,” Jo says.

“But retirement isn’t too far away.

“I’m looking forward to making the most of so many other activities here in the community.”

Andrea was initially concerned that her friend was buying off the plan.

“But once Jo had moved in, I popped up to see her with a bottle of champagne to celebrate. I thought, ‘Oh, this is quite nice’. But I still wasn’t sure it was for me,” Andrea recalls.

“I began to visit regularly. Then one weekend, when I stayed there, we went on a bus trip with others and joined an evening barbecue. The appeal of being a part of a community of people in a similar age group had struck a chord.”

Andrea is preparing to move into her new home later this year.

A nurse for 41 years, she will continue to commute back to Brisbane to work one day a week and continue singing with a local choir.

THOUSANDS OF OVER-50S TO BENEFIT FROM AUSTRALIAN FIRST POWER INITIATIVE An Australian-first initiative by developer GemLife is connecting more than 10,000 homes to Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).

This is making its communities up to 90 per cent energy independent while saving residents more than 60 per cent on their power bills.

The leading over-50s lifestyle resort developer is the first in the country to install the cutting-edge technology in a large-scale master-planned community, with VPPs now operating at its GemLife Maroochy Quays, GemLife Bribie Island and GemLife Palmwoods resorts, all in

South-East Queensland.

GemLife will invest more than $75 million over the next six years in developing VPPs across its portfolio of 11 existing and new communities in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

The commitment follows a successful trial of the innovative technology at its GemLife Palmwoods community, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, where the average power bill reduced to just $8 during the six-month testing period.

“The VPP shields residents from soaring electricity prices, offering bill consistency, which is vitally important for our residents, the majority of who are on fixed incomes,” says GemLife director and

CEO Adrian Puljich. “Across the first three communities, we’ve already connected 700 homes to VPPs, at no cost to our homeowners, and will be installing the system in all our existing communities by the end of 2024, with all our new communities to open with the technology already in place.”

The system includes a network of homes and community facilities with rooftop solar plus a bank of commercialgrade batteries connected via smart AI-driven technology, which can predict the demand for energy use, by monitoring weather conditions and optimal charge times.

GemLife Palmwoods residents Eric and Margaret Martin say the VPP is a welcome relief, given the volatility of energy pricing amid other cost of living pressures.

“Our bills have been very small and once the seniors’ discount has been applied, we’ve had nothing to pay at all,” Margaret says.

“It’s such a relief not having to worry about using the air-conditioner when it’s hot and fearing what your electricity bill will be at the end of the month.”

GemLife over-50s lifestyle resorts are in coastal and country locations in Queensland, NSW and Victoria. Call 1800 317 393 or visit gemlife.com.au.

Arthur is a volunteer on the Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) through Suncare.

The CVS program is funded by the Australian Government and is designed to improve quality of life and reduce isolation by matching an individual receiving care with a volunteer.

“Arthur has such interesting topics to talk about and I really look forward to Friday mornings,” Alan says. “We have a cuppa and a scone overlooking the water and just talk about current affairs or anything, really. Arthur and I sort out the world’s problems on a Friday.”

After 23 years in the Air Force, Arthur certainly has stories to share. He has just returned from an interesting holiday in Western Australia and Tasmania.

“I am grateful I still have my good health and the visits allow me to get out, meet people and keep my mind occupied,” he says. continued page 42>

UNIQUE LIFESTYLE OFFERS BOTH SEA AND TREE CHANGE If it’s a sea change or a tree change you desire, Sunset Palms Retirement Living by Aveo on the Sunshine Coast offers easy access to both.

Located in Palmview, the popular resort-style community is expanding, with the next stage of 22 villas due for completion later this year.

Opened in 2019, the first 38

architecturally designed villas sold out, increasing demand for these highly anticipated new villas.

Sunset Palms provides retirees with two- or three-bedroom, low-maintenance villas only 15 minutes from the beach of Mooloolaba or 20 minutes from the lush hinterland.

Residents Kim Ward and Geoff

Montgomery, long-time residents of the area, moved into their two-bedroom villa at Sunset Palms in February 2020.

“We lived only 6km away and loved the area, but our large house was just too much for us. We had been looking around, and when my husband Geoff saw this villa, that was it,’’ Mrs Ward says.

“He loved that it was brand new and with one of the largest yards available for our dog. It had everything we wanted with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage.

“The location here is ideal. We can go either way to the beach or up into the hinterland, but we love our golf and play twice a week. We love the lifestyle and social life here. It’s perfect for us.’’

The community facilities include an outdoor pool, gym, billiard table, library, media room, salon, bocce court and vegetable garden. A bus is available to take residents on shopping trips to nearby major retail centres, and pets are welcome subject to management approval.

Expressions of interest are now open for stage two villas, ranging from $510,000 in price.

Sunset Palms is located at 58 Harmony Boulevard, Palmview, within the Harmony residential estate. For more information or to book a community tour, call 13 28 36 or visit aveo.com.au.

IT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE PAPER PLANE…

HOW TO GET YOUR BITE BACK: DENTAL IMPLANTS CAN BE A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO OVERCOMING TOOTH LOSS

Travelling in the Comlink Australia bus to the North Harbour Edge Early Learning education centre to spend time with the kindergarten kids, Joan’s nerves were getting the better of her.

In recent years she had been experiencing the familiar weight of social isolation, depression and loneliness. She was afraid she wouldn’t know how to talk to children now; so much had changed about today’s kids.

Upon arrival she sat quietly down at a big craft table and was promptly joined by a shy little boy who mumbled “hello” and told her that his name was Oscar.

The two sat awkwardly side-by-side until a long-faded memory surfaced in Joan’s mind. Inspired, she picked up a piece of paper and started folding.

Joan noticed that Oscar was watching intently. When she had finished, she flicked her freshly crafted paper plane watching it soar above the table and beyond.

Oscar grinned, pounced from his chair and bolted across to retrieve the simple aircraft. For the remainder of their visit Joan and Oscar built, coloured, and flew planes between them. Pretty soon everyone had joined in the fun.

Something even more magnificent had

Designed to provide a solid and durable foundation for a tooth root, dental implants will look, feel and function just like a natural tooth.

Reclaim the ability to eat, chew and smile with confidence, knowing that your smile is restored long-term.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small, titanium screws that are inserted directly into your jawbone at the site of tooth loss.

For three to six months, the screw is left to fuse with the bone to create a strong and functional support. Once this is complete, your prosthodontist or restorative dentist will construct implant-supported removable dentures, dental bridges or dental crowns to complete the treatment. Our implants come with a lifetime warranty (terms and conditions apply).

We utilise advanced technology to make your surgery as efficient as possible. Many procedures associated with dental implants may be claimable through Medicare.

At Suncoast Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Centre, we want to provide you with the best results possible, and this is why we use the highest-quality implants

occurred… in all the excitement Joan didn’t realise she was moving around freely without the assistance of her walking aid she so heavily relied on. Studies have found that intergenerational programs can improve self-reported physical health and functional ability.

Additionally, they can decrease reliance on walking aides and decrease falls risk and reduce stress. Meaningful interpersonal engagement with younger people through intergenerational programs has also shown to significantly reduce depression and negative self-perceptions, enhance self-worth, and improve memory.

Evidence suggests that regaining social engagement can have lasting impacts on brain functioning. Our brains can bounce back from disconnection when we engage with activities that make us feel valued.

ENCOURAGING MEN TO ADOPT HEALTHY HABITS International Men’s Health Week is celebrated every year around the world in the middle of June.

It is an opportunity to raise awareness of preventive health issues and promote early detection and management of disease among men and boys.

The theme of Men’s Health Week 2023 is: “Healthy Habits”, focusing on encouraging men and boys to build healthy habits by identifying small changes they can make that benefit their health and wellbeing.

Men’s cancer prevention in Australia takes centre stage during Men’s Health Week, as it strives to educate and empower men to adopt proactive measures in reducing their cancer risk.

Prevention is key, and several initiatives aim to promote healthy lifestyles and raise awareness about modifiable risk factors.

Preventable instances of cancer primarily stem from six lifestyle elements: smoking tobacco, UV exposure, an unhealthy diet, being overweight or obese, alcohol consumption, and inadequate physical activity. Men have the ability to alter their circumstances and bridge the health disparities that exist between genders.

INDUSTRY EXPERTS

That starts with healthy habits.

Men’s Health Week is the prime opportunity for men to put their health first and improve short and long-term outcomes.

Daily habits make a big difference to everyday health and by taking small steps, men can reduce their cancer risk.

Consider reducing alcohol intake, improving diet and exercising regularly, along with being sun safe, quitting smoking and, if eligible, taking part in the national bowel cancer screening program.

Dr Hong Shue is a medical oncologist at Sunshine Coast Haematology and Oncology Clinic at 10 King Street, Buderim.

You may know of this famous and controversial line from the character Dick the Butcher in William Shakespeare’s Henry VI. Some recent developments in technology have had me thinking whether Dick’s wish that society be free of lawyers might come true!

The progression of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has huge ramifications for all of us in every walk of life.

Technological innovation may indeed spell the end of many occupations (and the start of others) – but what about lawyers?

My own (self-preserving) view is that we’re a long way off the extinction of lawyers.

Providing legal advice is not simply a ‘process’.

There will always be the unique facts to a particular problem that can’t be automated.

Even Chat GPT tends to agree with me – recommending the assistance of a lawyer when drafting your Will or any other legal document.

Perhaps the bigger question is how the use of emergent technologies should be regulated – which, ironically will involve lawyers!

The benefits of a neurosurgeon

Revolutionising cataract surgery assessment

Vitamin B3 and skin cancer risk

When it comes to conditions of the spine, seeking the expertise of a neurosurgeon over an orthopaedic surgeon can provide numerous benefits.

Neurosurgeons specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the intricate structures of the spine. Here are some advantages of seeing neurosurgeons: Advanced knowledge: Neurosurgeons undergo extensive training focused specifically on the nervous system, giving them a deep understanding of the complexities of spinal disorders.

Surgical expertise: Neurosurgeons possess specialised skills in performing intricate spinal surgeries, including delicate procedures involving the spinal cord and nerves.

Minimally invasive techniques: Neurosurgeons are adept at using minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat spine-related disorders, leading to smaller incisions, reduced scarring and quicker recovery times.

Management of complex cases: Neurosurgeons are well-equipped to handle complex spine conditions such as spinal tumours, degenerative diseases and spinal cord injuries.

I would like to highlight the latest cutting-edge technology for cataract surgery assessment: the Eyestar 900, acquired in my Gympie rooms and only just released in Australia.

It provides me with a multitude of extremely high-speed, precise and reliable measurements of the entire eye and maps the shape of the front of the eye (corneal topography) accurately.

Usually, it takes two machines to achieve this, but needs only a single click with the Eyestar 900.

With its innovative design and leading-edge intuitive cataract planning software, the Eyestar 900 allows all patients to benefit from a comfortable user experience.

The Eyestar 900 also allows the eye specialist to fully customise the measurement process to each patient’s specific needs. It is super accurate, super quick and, for the user and patient, super convenient.

Last month, we focused on Efudix and Vitamin D to treat pre-cancerous lesions and reduce skin cancer risk.

This week, let’s focus on Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide).

What does Vitamin B3 do?

It is a simple vitamin supplement that can reduce skin cancers for some people.

How does it work?

It enhances DNA repair after ultraviolet (UV) exposure and reduces the immune suppressive effects of sunlight on the skin.

Who does it help?

It helps people who get many basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma skin cancers (BCCs or SCCs).

Studies have found that people who get more than two of these per year will see a 25-33 per cent reduction in them, but only if they take it correctly in the long term.

Should everyone take it?

No. It has not been shown to have a significant effect on people who don’t get regular BCCs or SCCs. Where can you get advice?

Your skin cancer doctor is best placed to advise you. If you’re in need of an experienced and educated skin cancer doctor, visit sunlifeskincancercare.com. au/bookings

Recovery after an anterior total hip replacement Many patients are surprised at how quickly they can comfortably ambulate after an anterior total hip replacement.

Patients are typically mobilised within hours of their surgery. Most of our patients usually rapidly progress to being independent on crutches and require them for only one to two weeks.

There are many factors that dictate how long a patient needs to stay in hospital but generally getting back to your home environment as soon as it is safe to do so is an important component of your physical, as well as your psychological, recovery.

Excessive physical activity in the first two months after a hip replacement is counterproductive. We generally recommend gentle walking and stretching.

Many patients are safe to drive after just three to four weeks and can perform most of their everyday activities within six weeks.

For patients who enjoy more extreme activities such as surfing, they should wait at least three months to return.

All patients are different, and you should discuss your specific situation with your orthopaedic surgeon.

You’re keen to act with lightning speed, but other people may need some time to adjust. Smart rams will aim to get the balance right between being spontaneous and thinking things through. With the sun transiting into your home zone, focus on domestic matters.

It’s a good week to entertain family and friends at home, as Venus and Mars stimulate your domestic zone. Convivial conversation is a bonus. But has an old relationship finally run out of steam? Or is a fairweather friend criticising your behaviour and holding you back?

Are you impatient for adventure?

Opportunities are circling around you, but they’re not immediately obvious. They are hidden in unexpected places, waiting for you to discover them. Geminis love to spring into action, but some of your best work will be done quietly.

On Monday, don’t let your crab curiosity (and fertile imagination) cloud your better judgment. Step back and view a complex situation from a wider perspective and a more realistic angle. If something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)

Lions can appear to be brazenly bold but sometimes (on the inside) you feel like a much less confident kitten. With Venus and Mars both visiting Leo, it’s time to talk up your talents, promote your accomplishments and tackle life with plenty of charm and chutzpah.

Adventurous Virgo – this week the positive Jupiter/Saturn link is terrific for travel arrangements, creative partnerships and joint ventures. But don’t let yourself be deceived by fake news, sidetracked by dubious friends or distracted by empty promises.

This week Venus and Mars favour romance, friendship and fun. It’s also a terrific time to network and socialise with colleagues, as you mix business with plenty of pleasure. Librans are clever and capable, but are you confident enough for big-time success?

If you’re looking for a new job, now’s the time to strike, as lucky Venus and proactive Mars enhance your professional persona.

Communicating with work colleagues will also improve, as you initiate contact and relationships run more smoothly than usual.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Early in the week, Jupiter (your power planet) makes a rare positive link with karmic taskmaster Saturn.

You’ll find enthusiasm and luck combined with hard work and persistence will lead to success.

So, roll up your sleeves, put your shoulder to the wheel and get to it.

On Monday, Saturn (your power planet) makes a positive link with prosperity planet Jupiter. So, you’ll find enthusiasm and luck combined with hard work and perseverance will take you far. But you need to be your own cheer squad as you keep on keeping on with passion.

There’s a sun/Neptune square on Monday, so steer clear of a smooth operator who could lead you up the primrose path to trouble. Check all news and information carefully. If something sounds too good to be true, then turn around and start walking in the opposite direction.

Venus and Mars both stimulate your job zone, so socialising with clients or colleagues will help improve workplace relations. If you’re looking for employment, then put the word out amongst close friends and within your wider peer group.

COAST UNIT PRICES ‘LED THE WAY NATIONALLY’ Research over the past five years shows that city buyers have embraced lifestyle change and sought value here. Words: Steele Taylor.

S

unshine Coast unit prices have ballooned when compared with the rest of the country during the past five years.

Many local property values, including houses and units, more than doubled in that timeframe.

But the region’s rising unit prices led the way on a national level.

The Sunshine Coast laid claim to three of the top-four growth suburbs for unit prices in Australia, four of the top 10 in the country and nine of the top 10 in regional Queensland.

Noosaville was number one in the nation with the median unit price blowing out $485,000 to $935,000, at a 108 per cent increase.

Sunshine Beach and Coolum Beach were numbers three and four respectively, and Marcoola was number nine.

The data was collected in the five years to April 2023.

PropTrack director – economic research Cameron Kusher says buyers from the cities want to embrace a lifestyle change and have sought value on the Sunshine Coast.

“We saw a really strong increase in unit prices on the Sunshine Coast right through the pandemic,” he says.

“They were generally cheaper than the Gold Coast and we started to see people wanting that beach lifestyle, and from an investment and holiday home perspective.

“So, we saw a big increase in median prices in areas like Noosaville, Sunshine Beach and Coolum Beach, and also

Marcoola and Mount Coolum, which are not as easily recognisable.

“And Tewantin isn’t on the coast but we still saw median prices jump there.”

He says he is a “bit surprised” that Noosaville was number one.

“But prices there were relatively cheap five years ago, at $450,000, and I think there could have been a spillover of people who couldn’t afford an apartment at Noosa Heads,” he says.

“They instead went looking in Noosaville, where you are still only a five-minute drive from the beach and you have the river. It’s quite an attractive place to be.”

He says high demand from prospective buyers, low supply and low borrowing costs “for most of the last five years” fuelled the price rise.

“People wanted to get out of the city (during the pandemic). They wanted more space and a different lifestyle, and they wanted to move to areas like the Sunshine Coast, but there wasn’t much stock for sale, which pushed up prices significantly,” he says.

Mount Coolum, Buddina, Peregian Beach, Tewantin and Golden Beach were also in the top 10 for unit price growth in regional Queensland.

Peregian Beach, Buddina and Eumundi were in the top 10 for house price growth in regional Queensland.

Median prices doubled at least.

MAGICAL BEACHSIDE ABODE

ENJOY THE GOOD LIFE AT ALEX UNIT 1/21 WILSON H AVENUE, DICKY BEACH

Act quickly to acquire this stunning three-level townhouse with a north-east aspect blessed with magical ocean views and rare beachside privacy in this sought-after address.

Beachside living does not come better than this, just a short stroll to the surf club, patrolled and pet-friendly beaches and just moments from the shops, cafés and restaurants at Moffat and Dicky beaches. Being less than about 100 metres from the surf with no streets to cross, this townhouse would be an incredible place to call home or, alternatively, an ideal lock-up weekender. Stop and imagine the relaxed Sunshine Coast lifestyle with endless summer days, early morning swims and long Sunday brunches.

Polished timber floors, ample storage, and high raked ceilings create an elegant ambiance. Step outside to a resort-style sanctuary: a breathtaking infinity pool surrounded by lush gardens.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Okay peeps, this weekend’s conditions and weather are going to be spectacular.

Waves? Um, not so much.

More importantly, I am getting ready to do a surf trip to North Sumatra. It does take 50 hours of travel to get there but if we score, it is normally the stuff dreams are made of.

We are all sponsored by antiinflammatory drug companies to keep the body moving. Enjoy the weather peeps.
