AGENDA

What the agents have to say:

Loren Wimhurst and Richard Scrivener Next Property Group

ADD PRINT FOR INCREASED COMPETITION AND RESULTS

There is no question, advertising in My Weekly Preview creates competition and drives more buyers to the property, which achieves a better result. The wider the net is cast, the more potential buyers you attract.

Some agents think they are saving money

Recent analysis of real estate sales data highlights the value of adding My Weekly Preview to attract more potential buyers.

T

here is no doubt a good real estate agent understands the value of marketing property, not just selling property. A recent review of real estate sales data has proven that advertising your property in My Weekly Preview (MWP) attracts a whopping 79 per cent more potential buyers than properties advertised online alone.

My Weekly Preview publisher Darryl Olson says: “It’s not very often we get to really crow about the role the magazine plays in helping vendors achieve their dream price for their home. These results came as no surprise.

“We’ve known for over 15 years that MWP has delivered sellers more home buyers, which is all about creating more competition. Ultimately, the more people that are interested in your home, the better the outcome will be.

“We analysed the data from over 330 sales from leading real estate agencies

across the Sunshine Coast. We simply asked what were the number of groups coming through the open home and whether they were advertised online or combined with MWP, and the results were very clear that 79 per cent more potential home buyers activity came from properties advertised in MWP and online combined. It’s the most significant and compelling piece of evidence I have ever seen in my experience of 42 years in the industry – and that’s the agents’ data, not ours.”

Mr Olson says that creating competition can also add tens-ofthousands of dollars to the sale price of any home.

“The more competition we can create for your home, the quicker it can sell and for a higher price,” he says.

“MWP reaches all buyer groups, including those already in the market and those who can enter quickly when they see something they love.”

Ross Cattle Define Property Over many years and still today, we witness a significant difference in properties advertised in MWP versus those that aren’t.

We track the volume of attendees at open homes, with an overwhelming higher number of people attending those properties that are in MWP. This also translates to the sale prices achieved and we have irrefutable evidence of properties

by not advertising in MWP, but I believe it’s the best investment you can make. You get people browsing the property pages who may not be in the market, but it spikes their interest and they might come along and have a look and often end up buying the property. I’ve also found it gets results in a shorter time frame. MWP is well established, people look for it and love flicking through it, whether they are looking for property or not. When we have advertised in MWP and the offer comes in, everyone feels more comfortable that everything has been covered professionally.

parameters and specifics, but we find we often have buyers cross over into suburbs they didn’t initially consider when they see them in MWP. I sold a property recently to an elderly couple who had no email and no internet, but they saw the property in MWP and bought it. If it had not been in the magazine, they would never have seen the property.

selling for amounts from $50,000 to $250,000 more because they were advertised in MWP. The clearest example was a property in Malo Street, Mooloolaba.

This property went to auction and was advertised in MWP. At auction, there were 12 registered bidders. Once the auction reached a bid of $900,000, 10 of the 12 registered bidders stopped bidding. The remaining two fought out the bidding from $900,000 to $1,250,000 – $350,000 over the reserve price. One of the two bidders only saw the property on the Thursday before the auction in MWP. A small investment of $1200 to run a campaign in MWP resulted in a return of $350,000.

FAST FACTS

Nonna knows best

Do you remember?

Did you know?

After multiple people reported they had passed a kidney stone while riding Walt Disney World’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride, a research team from Michigan State University decided to investigate in 2016. They conducted tests with a model kidney and found that there was a 64 per cent kidney stone pass rate for those seated in the rear, but just 16 per cent for the front.

By the numbers It is true that everybody thinks their Italian grandma (or nonna) is the best cook around. So, it was a genius idea when Joe Scaravella decided to gather up as many nonnas as he could to work in his restaurant in Staten Island, New York City.

Enoteca Maria combines the skill of these delightful, talented grandmothers and has them create and cook recipes from their own family cookbooks.

FEATURE STORY

Rescuing gardens after the deluge The upcoming Queensland Garden Expo in Nambour will feature an expert who has helped resurrect hundreds of flood-damaged yards and is keen to share her knowledge.

WORDS: Lucinda Dean.

I

f this intense rain is making you potty, spare a thought for how your garden is faring – in particular, what’s happening at a microbial level in your soil.

While the Coast has a real mix of soils – from our coastal strip, which is very sandy and drains quite readily, to places such as Nambour which has quite a heavy soil – chances are, your garden has been impacted by the ongoing deluge.

Kate Wall, author, gardening expert and coach, wrote the free e-book Gardening After a Flood (2022) in response to the 2011 Brisbane floods in which she witnessed her neighbourhood of Yeronga go underwater.

Kate had the knowledge to fix flooddamaged gardens. So, she established a volunteer group and together they reclaimed more than 160 gardens.

“Tidying up yards and making our neighbours’ yards look neat and alive and green instead of just a muddy overgrown mess brought hope back to people,” she says.

Kate says it was an incredibly easy decision to make the e-book freely available. It was published at a time when eastern Australia was going through extensive flooding again (2022) and she realised she simply couldn’t be everywhere to help everyone. Her e-book was a vehicle to get her knowledge into the hands of people who needed it most.

10 My Weekly Preview | February 22, 2024

10.indd 1

Coast gardeners can take a leaf out of Kate’s book, which is still very relevant if your garden is waterlogged. It gives plenty of guidance on how to reclaim your garden.

Kate asserts what gardeners really need to do first is restore the soil, but that means recognising that damage has been done in the first instance, and a lot of the time, that’s not very obvious.

One indicator, though, is finding fewer worms in your soil as microbes drown in waterlogged gardens. Kate says that while we can’t see microbes, a reduction in worms is an indication that all life in the soil is diminishing. She recommends topping up microbes after waterlogging to put the good stuff back into the soil.

Too often, though, Kate sees people treat the visible problems with their plants, which are actually soil-related problems.

Insect attack can also cause plant stress and this stress arises from poor soil conditions.

“Applying more and more chemicals to the top of the plant is only a band-aid solution that’s ultimately making things worse, not better,” she says.

Kate’s past profession as an environmental biologist informs her holistic approach to gardening. She says fixing soil problems is the first step to reclaiming, restoring and building a fantastic garden.

“My approach to it all is to go back and make a healthier ecosystem in our garden

so we don’t have to interfere quite as much.”

Another major sign of waterlogged damage is leaf drop, which will become apparent as soon as the rain starts to ease.

“If your plants are dropping a lot of leaves, that’s an indication you’ve probably got root damage from the waterlogging,” Kate says.

“When the soil is waterlogged, the plant’s roots start drowning and dying.

When you’ve got a smaller root system, your plants can’t take up water as effectively and they’ll start dropping leaves.”

Another indicator of damage are discoloured leaves. The green might be pale or mottled and this could be a sign of nutrient leaching. Gardeners may also start to see that the new growth on their plants is discoloured or deformed.

“Deformed new growth is a key indicator that you’ve got nutrients leached out of the soil – in particular, calcium, which can leach out quite easily.”

The absolute gold standard to remedy all this would be to put plenty of compost onto the soil and rock mineral that’s high in silica (as silica helps to break open soil compaction).

It’s important, however, not to add fertiliser to the soil because if you have a stressed plant, adding fertiliser can compound its stress, Kate says.

“Assume the weather’s going to be unpredictable and counteract it by building soil resilience” Kate Wall

“You don’t necessarily need the high nitrogen (contained in fertilisers) because with all the storms and rain we’re having, it’s pushing plenty of nitrogen out of the air,” she says.

“It’s not necessarily what’s missing. It’s the other minerals that are missing.”

Ideally, compost should be homemade.

If not, you can buy compost. Aged manure from the side of the road also works well.

Kate urges Coast gardeners to start working on their soil right now because myweeklypreview.com.au

19/02/2024 10:38:00 AM

FEATURE STORY compost breaks down really fast in hot, wet weather. “You will get much faster results now than if you wait until things are drier and cooler,” she says.

Organic mulch and composting will help build a stronger, more-resilient and healthier soil, which means plants are going to cope better – regardless of what the weather does in the future.

In September 2023, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) declared an El Nino weather pattern in Australia, heralding warmer, drier conditions ahead.

However, in January alone, Tewantin set a new record for rainfall in a month, recording 489.2mm, eclipsing an old record of 386.2 in 2006. To put things in perspective, the average rainfall for January for this area is 151.8mm, BOM reports.

So, was BOM’s 2023 El Nino declaration catastrophically wrong?

“Apparently, an El Nino is not always dry. It’s usually dry further south, but it’s not always dry here and the wet comes with storms, which is what we’ve had this year,” Kate says.

“When you look back to 2022 and all the flooding, we didn’t get all the storms.

“We got intense rain, but we didn’t get the storms. The pattern that we’ve seen over the last few years is either too wet or too dry. We’re not getting that comfortable middle zone. We seem to be switching between the two very dramatically, rather than gradually going from one to the other.”

These sudden flips from extreme wet to extreme dry are very stressful for our gardens. “The best thing we can do as gardeners is assume the weather’s going to be unpredictable and to counteract it by building soil resilience,” Kate says.

Kate is a guest speaker at the Queensland Gardening Expo from July 4-7 at Nambour Showgrounds. She will discuss: how to build a strong, healthy soil; how to cultivate resilience in your garden regardless of the weather; understanding microclimates in your garden and where to plant what; and how to manage weeds.

FOR THE POTTED GARDENER

Nearly more than a quarter of Coast residents live in units or high-rise, so balcony gardens are the best way to enjoy natural greenery at home.

There are a few things you need to do differently with a balcony garden because you’re gardening in pots.

Here are a few tips and tricks to achieve this.

Put plants in large pots rather than having many small pots. A small pot has a tiny area to put down roots so it will dry out quickly and needs much more care. A larger pot will keep your plant alive and happier for longer.

Always use a good-quality potting mix. Never use cheap potting mix, as that’s a sure-fire way to kill plants.

You need to learn to stick your finger in the soil and see if the plant needs watering or not. This is one area where people go wrong. They either over-water or under-water.

Match your plants to your living situation. Often times, what people do on balconies is to assume they’re growing indoor plants but they’ll be copping the western sun. Or they’re doing the opposite, by growing a plant they think would be lovely in a garden but it’s a south-facing balcony that’s getting no sun. Think about your balcony’s orientation and buy plants suited to that aspect.

Nicholas Sloman (second left) with Australian 4x1500m relay teammates Kyle Lee, Chelsea Gubecka and Moesha Johnson

ON THE PLANE TO PARIS A decade of hard work pays off for open water swimmer, who fulfils his dream to qualify for the Olympics. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

A

Sunshine Coast open water swimmer has earnt himself a seat on the Australian Olympic team after qualifying for Paris 2024.

Nicholas Sloman finished fifth at the

World Aquatics World Championships in Doha earlier this month, mere milliseconds off third place.

Needing to place in the top 10 to qualify for the Games, the 26-year-old finished in the best shape of his career, recording a

time of 1hr:48:29.60 for the gruelling 10km race.

The Olympic debutante joins former Kawana swimmer and Rio Olympian Chelsea Gubecka, who qualified for Paris last year at the World Aquatics Championships with her second place finish in the women’s 10km event.

Part of the Noosa Swimming Club, Sloman narrowly missed qualifying for Tokyo in 2020, using this determination to fuel his Paris dream.

He says while at times the dream has felt “out of reach”, he is proud to see more than a decade of hard work and training pay off.

“It’s been a dream of mine that has kind of felt a little out of reach. So, to finally qualify has been a massive relief,” Sloman says.

“My focus at the moment is to have a great result at the Games. So, I haven’t really taken the time to let it sink in. But for now, the result at Doha has given me a lot of confidence to do so.

“It has been a really long journey – almost 11 years, which is kind of crazy to think about.

“It just goes to show that if you have a goal you want to work for, it will come.”

Sloman was also part of the gold medal-winning Australian mixed 4x1500m relay team at the meet.

INTERCHANGE UPGRADE ‘HITS A BRICK WALL’ Plans for a key interchange upgrade appear to have been ditched, after the state government confirmed the project can’t be delivered without the backing of the federal government.

The proposed Sunshine Motorway Mooloolah River Interchange Upgrade (Stage 1) was cast into doubt when the federal government withdrew a $160 million commitment after an infrastructure review.

Then, the Department of Transport and Main Roads told My Weekly Preview’s sister site, Sunshine Coast News, the project would cost almost $750 million, instead of $320 million.

In a recent statement to SCN, a TMR spokesperson says the proposal has basically hit a brick wall.

“While the MRI Upgrade project remains a priority for the Queensland government, it cannot be delivered without federal support,” the spokesperson says. “(But) the Queensland Government continues to invest heavily in important transport projects in the growing Sunshine Coast region, including Bruce Highway upgrades, the Beerburrum to Nambour rail line and the Bells Creek Arterial Road.”

A confident choice.

NEW SHELTER MARKS ‘PET PROJECT’ MILESTONE The generosity of the Sunshine Coast community now allows refuge service to house hundreds of extra dogs a year. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

T

he region’s longest-running animal shelter will have the capacity to rescue more dogs, thanks to the generosity of the Sunshine Coast community.

Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge Society (SCARS) began dreaming about a “new digs for its dogs” in 2017 and after the shelter’s 40th anniversary in 2019 put the wheels in motion.

On February 12, the day of its 45th anniversary, SCARS officially opened what it calls The Shelter the Sunny Coast Built.

SCARS patron Penny Brischke says the entire refuge is overwhelmed at the result, which will allow the shelter to temporarily house an extra 200 dogs every year.

“It blows my mind,” she says.

“We’ve waited five years to get this off the ground and to be able to open it is just overwhelming for all of us.

“We’re so grateful to the whole Sunshine Coast community and the business community who supported us to make this a reality.

“To have ended up with those business contributing nearly $150,000 in savings in the construction period is amazing.

“They are the heroes of this project.”

Ms Brischke says that when the Tanawha-based refuge began fundraising in 2019, 17 local businesses and individuals sponsored a pen. with many others donating money, time, supplies and labour to the project.

She says after delays due to supplies and weather, having the opening coincide with the 45-year anniversary was extra special.

“That makes us the longest-running animal rescue on the Sunshine Coast,” she says. “We’re very proud of that.

“In those 45 years, we’ve save 20,000 dogs and already this year, in the first four weeks of the year, brought in 130 dogs.

“We’ve worked out that the average stay for our dogs is six weeks … this is creating a capacity for us to rescue about 200 dogs a year on top of our older pens that are out the back.”

The new shelter, which was a renovation on the original building, has 19 purpose-built pens to home rescue dogs waiting to be adopted.

“It will make the dogs we are looking after much more comfortable,” Ms Brischke says.

“There will be much less noise and much less stimulation.

“Our old pens, being 45 years old, were quite decrepit and no longer suitable or safe to hold dogs in.

“This upgrade was necessary for us and wouldn’t be possible without those who helped.”

Ms Brischke says that while the new shelter is exciting, 2024 is shaping up to be the busiest year for SCARS as the cost of living and housing crisis continue to see animals surrendered.

She is calling on anyone looking to bring an animal home to consider a rescue dog.

SCUH. Inset: Dr Peter Gillies

NEW MODEL OF CARE IMPROVES PATIENT FLOW SCUH chief executive says other emergency departments may benefit, following success of local initiatives.

A

n unprecedented number of people have requested help at the Sunshine Coast’s main emergency department.

An average of 330 patients a day presented to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) emergency department in December.

Meanwhile, more than 56,500 people attended all Sunshine Coast Health emergency departments between October and December, which is four per cent more than the same period in 2022.

Sunshine Coast Health says that all Category 1 patients were seen within two

minutes, while across all five categories the median wait time was 15 minutes.

There was also a 24.9 per cent increase in the number of elective surgery patients treated from October to December (3385), compared with the same period last year, while elective surgery long wait lists reduced by 65 per cent when compared with the same time in the previous year.

Sunshine Coast Health chief executive Dr Peter Gillies has praised staff for accommodating the influx.

“Our emergency departments are busier than ever before, and our staff are doing a fantastic job in meeting the increasing demand for our services,” he says.

Local health services came under fire last year after it was reported some patients had to wait for more than seven-and-a-half hours in ambulances and hallways at Sunshine Coast hospitals during 2022.

But Dr Gillies says the new initiatives

are making a difference.

A new model of care called STREAM was implemented at the SCUH emergency department last June, significantly improved patient flow.

Due to the model’s success, it is likely to be rolled out in other emergency departments.

It complements a new purposebuilt command centre located at the SCUH, which has been operational since September and uses real-time data and modelling to monitor and coordinate patient arrivals, admissions and departures.

“With the continued focus on improving patient flow, we have seen initiatives like interim care beds, optimisation of virtual care, and our transfer initiative nursing models make an impact on supporting the people coming through our busy emergency departments,” Dr Gillies says.

“We have made excellent improvements in our elective surgery waitlists, and this is reflected in a 24 per cent increase in the number of patients receiving elective surgery.”

“As always, I want to thank our dedicated Sunshine Coast Health clinicians and support teams for the work they do to provide high-quality, person-centred care.”

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR ARTHRITIS RESEARCH TRIAL A potential new treatment for rheumatoid arthritis that focuses on the gut microbiome is set to be trialled on the Sunshine Coast, with researchers now seeking study participants.

The University of the Sunshine Coast Clinical Trials and Servatus Biopharmaceuticals are collaborating to trial a live biotherapeutic product, which is a field of medical therapy that is advancing globally.

Principal investigator Dr Peter de Wet says rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues, affecting the joints’ lining and causing pain and stiffness.

“Rheumatoid arthritis can be a debilitating condition that can impact many aspects of daily living,” Dr de Wet says.

“We are interested to learn about the role of the gut microbiome in treating symptoms of this condition.

“And while there are various strategies to improve joint mobility and muscle strength and reduce inflammation, some treatments are ineffective or have unwanted side effects, highlighting the need for new medicines

Invitation to comment Draft terms of reference for environmental impact statement Borumba Pumped Hydro Energy Storage project, located 48 km south-west of Gympie to address the condition.”

He says the trial, to be held at UniSC’s newest clinic in Birtinya, represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of a new treatment.

Servatus head of clinical research Dr Samantha Coulson says the live biotherapeutic product is an exciting and promising field of medical therapies that was advancing quickly on a global scale.

The team is seeking participants, aged between 18 and 80, with confirmed rheumatoid arthritis, who are experiencing daily joint pain and stiffness.

Participants will need to commit to up to six visits at the Birtinya clinic over about four months and will be reimbursed for their time on the trial.

Those interested in volunteering can find more information at usc.edu.au/trials.

The proponent, Queensland Hydro Pty Ltd, a publicly owned proprietary company established by the Queensland Government, proposes to develop the $14.2 billion Borumba Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) project. The project would involve development of a PHES to supply up to 2,000 megawatts of continuous electricity for a 24-hour period (resulting in a storage capacity of 48,000 megawatt hours) in the Southern Queensland renewable energy zone.

The proposed project is located approximately 13 kilometres (km) south-west of Imbil, 48 km south-west of Gympie, Queensland, in the Gympie Regional Council and Somerset Regional Council local government areas.

The Coordinator-General declared the project a ‘coordinated project’, under section 26(1)(a) of the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 (Qld), triggering the requirement for an environmental impact statement (EIS).

The draft terms of reference (TOR) for the EIS have been prepared by the Coordinator-General.

You are invited to comment on whether the draft TOR covers all the matters Queensland Hydro must address when preparing the EIS. The Coordinator-General will consider all comments before finalising the TOR. The Australian Minister for the Environment determined that the project is likely to have a significant impact upon matters of national environmental significance and will require approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act) before it can proceed. The relevant controlling provisions are World Heritage properties, National Heritage places, Ramsar wetlands, listed threatened species and communities and listed migratory species. The project will be assessed by accredited assessment under the SDPWO Act (Qld). The Coordinator-General’s EIS evaluation report will be provided to the Australian Minister.

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

HOW YOU CAN HELP MAKE THE SUNSHINE COAST SHINE You are invited to step up and join a local group to help clean up our beautiful Sunshine Coast.

No matter where you live, they will be happy to have your help on Clean up Australia Day on Sunday, March 3.

This year, several groups will be running clean-ups, including Currimundi Catchment Care Group, Eumundi Rotary, Kawana Scouts, Night Eyes Water and Landcare, Twin Waters Residents’ Association and many more.

Everyone is welcome to join in. The day presents a great opportunity to get to know more people from your community and make a real difference to our environment.

Sunshine Coast Council manager for waste and resource management John Hogg says Clean Up Australia Day is a time to make the Sunshine Coast shine.

“Each year, we have amazing schools, businesses and community groups all lending a hand. Last year, around 1200 people picked up four tonnes of rubbish across 100 different Sunshine Coast parks, reserves and beaches,” he says.

Head to cleanup.org.au/ cleanupaustraliaday to register for free.

Cheers to preserving history through good design Classic Queensland pub’s heritage and place in hinterland town becomes the centrepoint of renovations.

M

ore than 130 years of pub history continues to flow at Matso’s Eumundi.

This is thanks to a collaborative approach between Sunshine Coast Council, popular boutique brewery Matso’s and architects Five Mile Radius to preserve the pub’s history. The opening of Matso’s Sunshine Coast Brewery, in the hotel formerly known as Joe’s Waterhole, is the latest chapter in the long history of the venue, which was originally opened by E.H. Arundell as the Railway Hotel in 1891.

During the 1900s, the Railway Hotel underwent a makeover and adopted the

new name: Commercial Hotel.

These first few decades saw the local pub survive through many tough times, including drought and a fire that destroyed the then two-storey pub, which was replaced with a new building a year later in 1925.

Most recently known as Joe’s Waterhole, the pub has a long and rich history in the local Eumundi community as a place that became a hub of laughter and good times.

The classic Queensland pub’s most recent renovation has focused on retaining its heritage while showcasing the unique Matso’s identity.

Five Mile Radius worked closely with

Council’s Urban Design and Architecture team to honour and retain the historic pub’s heritage while breathing new life into the venue.

Council’s architects welcome the opportunity to work with the region’s hotel owners and others who manage or own historic or iconic buildings.

Council’s aim is to assist with the design process and help ensure heritage values are respected, enhanced and maintained where possible.

DID YOU KNOW PLASTERBOARD IS RECYCLABLE? Clean plasterboard can be dropped off at Beerwah, Buderim, Caloundra and Nambour Resource Recovery Centres.

Since November 2016, a total of 3687 tonnes of plasterboard has been saved from landfill.

That’s the same as: • about 614 large African elephants

• 7000 cubic metres (almost three Olympic swimming pools).

Recycling plasterboard means that material gets reused again and doesn’t end up in landfill.

The plasterboard is reused to balance the pH in organic products such as mulch.

Amid the jovial hubbub, you’ll always find Ross Dale calling prizes and raffle ticket winners across the public bar and restaurant.

Ross has been raffling meat trays at Palmwoods Hotel every week for a decade.

Wishlist has been the beneficiary of the bulk of his efforts.

Despite his own health challenges along the way, ‘Rossco’ pounds the beat for hours, selling tickets and distributing meat trays to winners, to help out his “favourite charity” Wishlist – and many others along the way, including local sports clubs and the Sunshine Coast Animal Rescue

Service. You don’t get more selfless than Rossco.

And what a difference his efforts have made to local hospitals over the years. Cancer and mental health patients, chronic pain sufferers and even health staff have benefitted from his hard work. Recently a range of portable oxygen concentrators were purchased to lend to people in their final days.

Rossco’s pretty humble about his impressive commitment, saying it’s the people who motivate him to show up every week at Palmwoods Hotel.

“There’s no better people than those at Palmwoods,” he says.

When asked why Wishlist is his favourite charity, he reminds me that when he first began fundraising, he had no idea of the extent of Wishlist’s impact in local hospitals.

Introduced by Nambour Hospital emergency nurse Barry McCarthy, Rossco became increasingly inspired at the breadth of Wishlist’s focus – and the benefits to families.

“I saw how much you do for hospitals and how it helps local families, and I’ve spent 10 years doing what I can to help,” he says.

We couldn’t be without you, Rossco. Thank you.

ANNETTE IS COOKING UP A NEW RETIREMENT PLAN Local legend and author of the bestselling low fat cookbook series Symply Too Good To Be True has decided to hang up her public apron for the final time.

Annette Sym has announced her retirement to loyal fans, with the 68-year-old author and husband Bill looking forward to joining their friends in retirement.

“This announcement is bittersweet for me – happy and quite sad, all at once,” Ms Sym says.

“Sharing my weight-loss wisdom, healthy recipes and all that goes with that has been my life’s work and I’ve loved every minute of it.

“It will be sad to close that chapter in my life, but I’m very excited about what is ahead as I start this new phase.”

She says she plans to do road trips around Australia and hopefully learn some new skills in this new phase of life.

“Bill and I plan to do some road trips with friends to see this great country of ours and some fabulous overseas bucket-list trips are also being planned as we speak,” she says.

“We also want to spend more quality time with our three daughters, son-inlaws and our six grandchildren.

UP TO

“And as strange as it may sound, I’ve always wanted to learn to play mahjong and the piano, so I’m adding these to my list of things to do.”

This local success story had no previous business experience when she turned the triumph over health struggles with her own 35kg weight loss into a multi-million-dollar business in 1997 and went on to sell more than four million copies of her cookbooks.

Ms Sym has made many contributions to the Sunshine Coast and local businesses, having used a printer in Maroochydore until he retired.

She also engaged local website builders, graphic designers and photographers in her journey.

MY OPINION

VOTE ‘NO’ TO ELECTION WASTE

SUMMER’S GOOD VIBRATIONS

Jane Stephens is sick of the visual pollution that accompanies the lead-up to any poll and wonders when candidates will see the light.

Sami Muirhead is finding it hard to farewell her favourite season, as she recalls some of the best days of her life at the beach.

L

ook for the signs. They will help guide your way, they say. “I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes”, Ace of Base sang.

Except, the signs didn’t affect my peepers. They just made me cranky.

Elections in this country involve a lot of signs, along with a lot of printed materials and a lot of wastage.

There are many rules around election signs regarding size, content and placement. They must carry authorisation and interfering with them is a criminal offence. There are rules around how many can be put up on election day and at pre-polling spots – six and two respectively, if anyone is interested.

But I think they should not be allowed at all. Not anymore. Not everywhere.

Surely in this era of environmentalimpact awareness, loads of honking signs are not just considered visual pollution, but physical junk as well. Add to that, to endure the weeks out in the elements, they must be made of plastic, which we all know never breaks down. And as far as I know, there is no obvious second-life plan for these eyesores, post-March 16.

The glut of signs also lays bare a grave

inequity. The more money a candidate has, the more times you get socked in the eye with their face on a sign. There is no designated limit. They might not be better for the job, but their budget ensures you think they are keenest for it.

Signs are scattered willy-nilly, too, which makes them extra annoying. Surely, it is not too much to ask to have a designated space or two within each division where screens are erected with candidates’ faces and names rotating.

The heavy reliance on printed material in elections is also outdated and unwanted. My mailbox has not seen so much action for years, and I have even received material from candidates standing for a division other than mine.

We will no doubt get how-to-vote pamphlets thrust in out faces, come election day, when we will cast our ballots (somewhat concerningly, with a flick of a pencil, not a permanent pen) as we stand in cardboard cubicles – the only element in this whole circus that gets reused.

And it is not over yet. The state government election is in October and, with its own rules on campaigning, the signs are that the waste-fest will continue.

I

t has been the hottest summer many of us can remember. I have nearly melted most days. I have lived here my whole life and rarely get frazzled (or frizzy hair) by the heat.

Autumn is about to orbit into our calendars again, but summer has a special place in my heart and soul. There is something about summer that feels like home for me.

I was born in the summer of ’73 in a lift, and Mum says I wore nothing but a nappy and a smile for years. When I was five years of age, Mum bought me a strappy, red, long dress with white love hearts on it and I wore it every day and thought I was royalty. I loved that dress with all my being.

When I was 10, I got my first pair of roller skates in summer and I skated around the house at all hours of the day and night and played with my guinea pigs in our backyard. When I was 15 I had a lousy summer. I felt I had no friends. I had dozens of pimples. I wanted to run away and live in France.

Fast forward to the summer when I turned 21 and it was one of the best of my life. I finally had my dream job as a

journalist and I loved the friends I was also working with every day. We would meet at Maroochy Beach at 6am and swim like mermaids, before putting on our power suits in a bid to not look like naïve kids. I am quite sure we failed, but we had the world at our feet. I spent the summer I turned 30 with my dogs, riding around on my bike, eating burgers and drinking beers and not really feeling like an adult. The summer I turned 37, I brought home my first baby with my husband, and the favourite chapters of my life began.

Summer wraps up primal memories for many of us. You only need to look at some of the songs about summer to realise this season holds nostalgia and the sweetest of memories.

Summer Nights from Grease talks of the innocent first summer romances we wished we had taken part in. Cruel Summer

by Taylor Swift sums up a season marked by a broken heart. Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Ray is a solemn summer sonnet.

Richard Marx’s Endless Summer Nights makes me feel 25 again. And Summer of ’69

by Bryan Adams makes me all melancholy for youth. I can’t wait for the summer of ’25.

MY OPINION

Jake Brown, Ord Minnett Buderim

INVESTMENT STRATEGY – MACRO PERSPECTIVES After a blistering December rally, markets tempered their enthusiasm around rate cuts, revising rate expectations higher.

Growth outperformed value, and this was reflected at the country level, with the US and Japan outperforming peers.

Resources-based countries lagged, while a chronically weak Chinese economy held back China and Hong Kong’s respective equity markets.

The recent RBA pause in rates has potentially ended the most-aggressive tightening cycle since 1989 with interest rates increasing 4.25 per cent in 18 months.

This has increased the appeal of bonds for investors who are keen to lock in the current higher interest rates on their savings. The Australian market’s 1.2 per cent monthly rise in January was underpinned by respectable gains across energy, financials and healthcare. Utilities and materials underperformed and recorded monthly losses. Industrials and staples were unchanged in the month but lagged the broader market.

The yield curve in the US steepened as markets revisited rate expectations. The US 10-year bond yield rose 17 basis points to 4.01 per cent, well below the two-year which ended the month at 4.31 per cent (-4bps) – leaving the yield curve firmly inverted. The Australia yield curve also steepened, with the 10-year yield up 6bps to 4.01 per cent, while the three-year bond

yield fell to 3.57 per cent (-3bps).

Oil outperformed on an escalation in geopolitical conflict and the extension of OPEC+ production cuts, offsetting fears of waning global growth. Gold eased 1.1 per cent to $2040 an ounce as investors pared rate-cut expectations. Uranium jumped 11 per cent on supply concerns and iron ore retreated to US$130 per tonne.

The Australian market is trading on a prospective P/E multiple of 16.0 and a 4.0 per cent dividend yield. These measures indicate a lack of value in the broad market.

Earnings estimates for FY24 have improved but remain downbeat, with consensus pointing to a contraction in aggregate FY24 profitability while the market has moved higher, perhaps on the expectation that the cash rate has peaked.

At an Australian sector level, there is wide disparity in value: • Some defensive stocks have come under some pressure due to excessive valuations and inflationary pressures. Healthcare valuations have improved after a period of underperformance.

• Discretionary has held up, but pressure on households is evident.

• Energy stands out with a high proportion of undervalued stocks.

• Materials are holding up on expectations of stimulus from China. Gold should rally on an early pivot from the Federal Reserve.

• Financials are rated ‘hold’, given a peak in net interest margins, but if rates remain higher for longer, earnings should be supported.

• We are becoming less cautious on real estate, but need to see a definitive peak in the cash rate and improvement in transactional evidence.

‘MORE NEEDED’ TO PROTECT AGAINST COVID Coast doctor leads push for recommendations to be implemented.

A

ustralasia’s peak body for infection prevention and control has released a statement of wide-ranging recommendations to help better protect vital healthcare and community settings and the public from the ongoing threat of COVID-19.

University of the Sunshine Coast lecturer in nursing Dr Matt Mason, who is an Australasian College of Infection Prevention and Control board director, has co-authored the statement and an article in The Conversation on these recommendations.

Dr Mason says COVID-19 remains an ongoing threat to public health as it enters its fifth year and more needs to be done.

Key recommendations include making it easier for workers to access testing, reinforcing the risk COVID-19 still poses, and support for people to stay at home while recovering, especially those working with vulnerable communities and in healthcare.

“It is important that governments, businesses and individuals continue to strive to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the community and limit risks to the health of the community,” he says.

“The COVID-19 vaccination program was fundamental to reducing severe illness, yet current Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation advice limits the availability of booster doses.

“We call for the advice provided to be reconsidered – particularly for workingage Australians.

“Herd immunity cannot occur if a

large proportion of the community are not currently protected through appropriate booster doses.

“We strongly recommend that testing programs are maintained or improved so that the community has accurate, current information on which to make decisions about their health.

“This should be linked to greater access to antivirals to treat infection.

“We encourage ongoing discussions with government and employer groups regarding access to paid sick leave to allow people to stay at home when unwell.”

Dr Mason says the airborne nature of COVID-19 limits the effectiveness of advising hand hygiene only as a means of control.

“Access to clean air will lower transmission of COVID-19,” he says.

“Improved ventilation in healthcare settings, schools, and other places where vulnerable people attend must be provided.”

NURTURING COMMUNITY AMONG GEN Z PROFESSIONALS In 2024, the oldest of Gen Z turn 27. And while there’s plenty of us, I can’t help but notice when I look around the room at community events that young people are in the minority.

Perhaps it’s a lack of opportunity due to seniority or, as I suspect, it’s that many Gen Z digital natives like myself find themselves out of depth in this environment, and just the mention of networking or phone calls is enough to make us shudder. Amid a pandemic, the rise of online study and the digital

immersion of our lives, many of us entered adulthood and careers without the face-to-face interpersonal skills and, dare I say, professional charisma that our current community leaders were raised with.

Despite the picture this paints, Gen Z is far from meek – particularly when it comes to rallying behind social issues.

We’ve got opinions and we aren’t afraid to drop the social ‘niceties’ in favour of authentic expression.

Surveys reveal Gen Z are incredibly

values-led, have a strong desire to drive change within their workplace and community, and are content to turn down employers due to ethical misalignments.

But equally, in a study by Cigna International Health, a staggering 91 per cent reported being anxious on a frequent basis, placing Gen Z as the most-stressed demographic (statistically).

And so, I find myself curious about the future of community events. Gen Z are here in the workforce, but how do we support this wildcard generation? Leaders may muse: is in-person engagement destined to diminish? How can we empower young professionals to carry on the deep community commitment that sustains places such as our Sunshine Coast? And how do we reply to an email signed off with ‘slay queen’?

All are good questions, but please don’t mistake our discomfort to go beyond the online comfort zone as disinterest. We are rather simply grappling with the dated, often-stringent social norms of corporate life and seek more guidance to mature the interpersonal skills required to move beyond the screen. Regardless, I think it’s safe to say these changemakers are here to reimagine our status quo.

WORDS: Holly Clark, Communications and event coordinator, Travis Schultz & Partners.

NAVIGATING THE SOMETIMES DAUNTING PROPERTY MARKET: TIPS FOR BUYERS In the complex and often volatile world of real estate, navigating the property market can be daunting, especially for first-time buyers. However, armed with the right knowledge and strategies, the journey can lead to a rewarding investment. Here are essential tips to guide you through the process: 1. Financial preparation is key: before diving into property listings, assess your financial health. This means getting a clear picture of your credit score, securing mortgage pre-approval, and understanding your budget limits. A solid financial footing not only narrows your search to realistic options but also positions you as a serious buyer.

2. Understand the market: real estate markets are influenced by numerous factors, including economic trends, interest rates and local developments. Conduct thorough research or consult with a professional to understand current conditions and future projections. This knowledge will help you make informed decisions and spot valuable opportunities.

3. Location, location, location: the age-old adage holds true. The location of

a property affects not just its current value but also its future appreciation potential. Consider factors such as neighbourhood safety, accessibility to amenities, quality of local schools and potential for economic growth.

4. Think long-term: buying a property is a significant investment that should align with your long-term goals.

Whether you’re looking for a forever home or a stepping stone in your investment journey, consider how the

property fits into your broader financial and lifestyle objectives.

5. Conduct thorough inspections: Never judge a property by its facade alone. Comprehensive inspections can uncover hidden problems that could cost you down the line. Investing in a professional inspection is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

6. Negotiate wisely: With a clear understanding of the property’s value and any potential costs for repairs or upgrades, enter negotiations with a strategy. Remember, the asking price is often not set in stone.

7. Seek professional advice: The complexity of real estate transactions means it’s wise to have experts on your side. A trustworthy buyer’s agent, mortgage broker and conveyancing solicitor can provide invaluable advice and streamline the buying process.

Buying a property is a multifaceted endeavour that requires careful planning, research and a bit of savvy negotiation. By following these tips, you can navigate the market more confidently and make a purchase that meets your needs and contributes to your financial wellbeing.

MEDICINAL CANNABIS FIRM EXPANDS DISTRIBUTION A 100 per cent Australian-owned medicinal cannabis company has opened a new distribution facility on the Sunshine Coast.

The new facility at Coolum Beach is fully licensed to provide Therapeutic Goods Administration-compliant products to any Australian-licensed pharmacy, which can then dispense the products on prescription.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson says he is pleased to officially announce the opening of the new facility and welcome Canntic to the community.

“Canntic’s warehouse, dispensary and virtual clinic facility has an estimated capital expenditure of $1.3 million,” Mayor Jamieson says.

“This major company has a forecasted economic impact to the region of $9.44 million, generating more than 29 direct and indirect local jobs*.

Canntic CEO and managing director Shaun Anderson says he is thrilled to see the group expand its facilities to the Coast.

“We look forward to growing our presence on the Sunshine Coast and continuing our mission to build locally owned and operated plant-based medicine businesses in a socially responsible and environmentally aware way,” he says.

Can I sell my business to a competitor?

A key consideration for all business owners should be their exit strategy.

One of the exit strategies not often considered is to sell to a competitor that can take advantage of your income without inheriting all of your expenses.

Up until recent years most business owners would never have contemplated selling their business to a competitor.

Generally it was due to the competitive rivalry they have developed or the obvious one “I don’t want them to see my figures”.

Well, things certainly have changed and now we often see competitors as being the obvious choice.

It makes good sense – they take out a competitor, expand their customer base, increase buying power and the product range and they get the massive bonus of industry trained staff.

Perhaps the biggest attraction though is the additional revenue which is gained without increasing fixed expenses such as rent and electricity, administration costs, logistics, sales staff, advertising and insurance.

Of course this approach needs to be done carefully as there’s always a risk that the buyer may not proceed to settlement, therefore exposing your clientele, staff details, suppliers, lease details and any weaknesses in your business.

Lawyers, a ladder and a dictionary What do these have in common?

They were all key ingredients in a recent case before the Queensland Supreme Court.

Robert thought his estate planning was in place. After all, Robert had: • a Will; • a Death Benefit Nomination to deal with his Self Managed Super Fund; and • an Enduring Power of Attorney.

Sadly, Robert fell off a ladder, suffered a brain injury and lost capacity. Robert’s wife then also died unexpectedly.

Robert’s Superannuation Nomination didn’t really cater for the unexpected passing of his wife. Robert’s Enduring Power of Attorney gave his Attorney an express power to renew Robert’s Superannuation Nomination.

Could Robert’s Attorney simply renew Robert’s existing Nomination or could the Attorney actually change the Nomination and the percentage received by the beneficiaries under it?

The Court ultimately found the dictionary meaning of renew was broad enough to allow Robert’s Attorney to make a Superannuation Nomination that was different to the one Robert had made.

There were a lot of other issues at play in the Court proceedings, but the clear take-away message is that you shouldn’t attempt to do your estate planning without legal advice.

Start planning family business succession now

New changes are coming in parental responsibility

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 businesspeople.

• 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 and founders.

• Communicate your succession plan.

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

From May this year, new legislation will introduce some of the most significant changes to Family Law in 17 years.

One change involves removing the presumption that equal shared parental responsibility is automatically in the best interest of a child for decisions related to issues such as education, medical treatment, religion and name changes.

This change makes it clear that the best interest of the child is still the determining factor, but without an initial presumption that best interest will be equal. An increase in requests for more flexible parental responsibility Court Orders is anticipated.

For instance, a parent might be granted sole responsibility for medical decisions while sharing other responsibilities.

These changes also involve attempts to streamline the factors for determining a child’s best interest. The amendments mandate an assessment of family violence history, abuse, neglect and any Domestic Violence Orders, including expired orders.

The upcoming change eliminates the need to challenge a presumption of equal shared responsibility when safety concerns or other factors support a different outcome, in a child’s best interest.

IGNITE LEARNING JOURNEY WITH SCHOLARSHIP

P

assionate young learners are invited to apply for a 2025 scholarship at Pacific Lutheran College.

Pacific’s rich education provides the foundation for a well-rounded life, creating opportunities to extend academic, leadership and career goals.

Pacific’s focus on growing across the Four Pillars of learning to be, learning together, learning to learn and learning to know and do supports students to grow capabilities important for all dimensions of life.

Academic, general excellence, music

and sport scholarships are now open to students entering Years 6 to 11.

Pacific scholarships provide students with the unique opportunities to enhance learning and further explore potential in all aspects of their education.

If you have children who are achieving excellent results, have a love for learning, a special talent and/or leadership aptitude, it’s natural to look at ways to provide them with as much potential for growth as possible.

Pacific scholarships are subsidised learning programs that can be life

changing for the students who are successful applicants.

Ben McCormac – a 2023 graduate, college captain and dux – began his learning journey at Pacific as a scholarship student and graduated with an ATAR achievement of 99.75.

Ben will start his learning beyond Pacific at Monash University in Melbourne, starting his Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine this year.

Noah Winten – a 2022 graduate and college dux, also began his learning journey at Pacific as a scholarship student and graduated with an ATAR achievement of 99.90.

Noah was then awarded the University of Queensland Vice-Chancellor Scholarship where he is now thriving in a Bachelor of Engineering degree and creating career paths.

Current students also like to share their scholarship experience.

“Pacific has provided me with unique opportunities to engage in my love of learning,” says Georgia Frohmuller, college vice-captain.

“Surrounded by supportive staff and friends allows me to achieve my academic goals and grow as a confident leader.”

Jed Picken, a current Pacific Lutheran College scholarship winner, says: “I am fortunate enough to attend Pacific on a music scholarship.

“Pacific has supported my passion and growth as a musician and is opening opportunities for future study.”

What opportunities does a Pacific scholarship provide?

Pacific is excited to be offering expanded opportunities to maximise potential for students. Specialist programs are on offer and include Pacific Plus: a

contemporary approach to meeting the needs of highly able Middle College students. The Teaching for Understanding pedagogical framework, underpinned by the PERMA model of positive psychology, forms the basis of Pacific Plus. Learning experiences are designed to foster the attitudes and dispositions of intellectual character in highly able students, with an acknowledgement that their learning needs can differ from those of other students in adolescence.

The Pacific Developing Athletes Program supports highly engaged and talented athletes who are involved in competitive school sport and participate in Queensland School Sport representative pathways. The program includes access to the University of the Sunshine Coast’s high-performance strength and conditioning program.

Young people can also explore and enhance strengths in the Visual and Performing Arts, and STEM through unique curriculum offerings and exciting performance opportunities.

Pacific offers a vibrant music program that includes high-quality ensembles and a marching band.

Involvement in competitions such as the Da Vinci Decathlon, Future Problem Solving and Robotics opens the door to national and international representation.

Pacific creates a synergy between Lutheran theology and positive psychology, offering intentional programs to grow wellbeing and capability.

Academic, general excellence, music and sport scholarship applications are now open for Years 6 to 11. Current and new students are eligible to apply for all Pacific Lutheran scholarships.

To find out more, visit pacificlutheran.qld.edu.au.

_____ _____ _____ _____

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

You’re keen to connect with others as four planets activate your career zone. It’s a terrific time to converse and communicate, text and tweet.

People are waiting to hear what you’ve got to say as you brainstorm your creative ideas.

Cancer folk can be super cautious, spending too much time at home in your cosy comfort zone. But this week – with the sun, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter all activating your travel-and-adventure zone – it’s time to be adventurous.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

This week’s spontaneous stars increase your restless side and your independent streak. Work projects are particularly favoured, as you connect with influential friends and creative colleagues.

Clever Cats will resist the urge to be bossy and self-indulgent.

Don’t be too set in the way you think the week should develop.

With Mars and Uranus shaking things up, expect last-minute delays or disruptions that will keep you on your toes. Attached Virgos – take the time to talk through problems with your sweetheart.

Librans long for peace and harmony. You want everything to run smoothly this week, but it may not happen. Relationships will be unpredictable and loved ones disruptive, so revise your expectations and just take things as they come.

The stars favour decorating, redesigning or renovating your home environment, and some Scorpios will move house. But are you brooding on the past… and kicking yourself for opportunities you’ve missed? It’s time to learn from your mistakes and move on.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

Four planets are stirring up your domestic zone, and disruptive Mars squares your ruler, Jupiter.

This could rattle your composure, fire up your frustrations, and amplify any family problems you’re facing at the moment.

This week the sun, Mercury and Saturn encourage you to listen to loved ones closely and keep the channels of communication open. Is a family member going through a rough patch? Don’t lecture them. Strive to help them in compassionate ways.

Jupiter and Uranus send disruptions in your direction, plus Mars demands that you stop being stubborn and start being more adventurous. The only certainty at the moment is change.

You’re feeling ridiculously restless but try to modify your reactions.

The sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are transiting through your sign, so you’re emanating some serious charisma this week.

Make sure you celebrate the creative and compassionate Piscean within via creative expresssion or helping others.

76 Glenmount Road, Mons Ocean Views or Tranquil Treetops – Por Que No Los Dos? If you find yourself a property where the question is to take in the views of the ocean, or to leverage the beautiful treetop views this land has to offer, then you know you are looking at a rare piece of acreage. The real question should be, “why not both?”

Nestled among some of the most upscale residences in the area, this makes the prospect of available vacant land in this exclusive locale an exceedingly rare occurrence. Spanning approximately 1.69 hectares (4.2 acres) of land, this property guarantees an abundance of privacy and space, enveloped by a pleasing natural bushland environment.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

By the time you read this, I will be in Canada preparing my snow boarding ritual of ice swimming before I head up the mountain. I have been doing this for over 15 years and I have built up a small fan club to join me. The water is freezing and last year’s outside temp was -20 but this years is looking like a balmy -5.

As George from Seinfeld famously said “The shrinkage is from the cold”.

No, no it is! Hope you guys score some waves but not too many!
