LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO COMBAT FIRE SEASON

‘Citizen scientists’ are being invited to take part in a research project that will help predict bushfire risk. WORDS: Lucinda Dean.

The mercury is rising as bushfire season descends on the Sunshine Coast. Recordbreaking spring temperatures and recent wet weather, which has sparked vegetation growth, are adding fuel to the mix.

As recently as October 27, Maroochydore recorded an unheard-of temp of 39.1°C . And with peak bushfire season earmarked from now until early summer, residents are being urged to prepare their homes for the season.

In a new move, those living in bushfire-prone areas are also being invited to help predict fire risks through

mobile technology.

The NOBURN mobile app allows residents to upload photos of fuel loads, such as grass and shrubs, dryness and structures of forests to help scientists gather useful data.

Released in 2023, it was developed by a team of researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) and University of Adelaide’s Australian Institute for Machine Learning, in partnership with Noosa Shire Council and funded through the Federal Department of Industry, Science and Resources.

The team is currently being led by UniSC’s Dr Sam Van Holsbeeck and

NOBURN works by using AI to determine bushfire risk based on the uploaded images.

‘Citizen scientists’ around Australia are encouraged to take safe, geo-tagged photos of local fuels such as surface litter, shrubs, canopy and bark.

Ms Schumacher says the app records the photos’ time and location, and the user adds a couple of simple descriptors. The labelled photos then go to the AI team.

“The AI is then trained on these images plus weather, vegetation, topography and fire-history layers to learn what combinations of fuels are most likely to result in harder to control fires,” Ms Schumacher says.

“In short, community photos make the AI smarter, and the AI turns photos into decision-ready fuel intelligence.”

Ms Schumacher’s role is to link the field/data-collection side with the machine-learning team and to collaborate with council and emergency partners to

ensure the data is useful for fire management.

“We’re currently fine-tuning the AI model so it can provide instant fuelhazard classifications and support better bushfire-readiness and education for Australians.”

The app was developed in the wake of the black summer bushfires (2019-2020), which burned across multiple states, but the worst, most prolonged fires were based in New South Wales and Victoria, with major fires also in Queensland, South Australia (including Kangaroo Island and the Adelaide Hills), Western Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. They destroyed around 2000 homes and burned more than 10 million hectares nationally.

Recent uploads of photos taken on the Coast show a build-up of fast-curing, fine fuels and denser vegetation after several wet seasons, which Ms Schumacher says is consistent with what local fire agencies have been reporting.

Ms Schumacher stresses that NOBURN itself doesn’t replace fire risk ratings. Rather, it feeds the agencies better fuel intel.

“What our uploads are showing is that with a wetter than usual start, the Coast still has pockets of elevated risk because of heavy, continuous fuels. On hot, dry, windy days, those fuels can become an elevated risk, which is why councils and Queensland agencies have been pushing preparedness messages this month.”

For Ms Schumacher, her biggest achievement in this field of research has been seeing local people use the NOBURN app, especially in places that have already burned.

“That’s the whole promise of NOBURN. Everyday photos lead to smarter prediction, which leads to safer communities,” she adds.

PROTECTING LITTLE LIVES

It takes less than three centimetres of water and under 30 seconds for a child to drown – less time than it takes to boil the kettle. Sunshine Coast residents are being urged to think swim smart this summer: stay alert, put away the phone and educate your children. WORDS: Lucinda Dean.

The accidental drowning death in May of American TikTok and Instagram influencer Emilie Kiser’s three-year-old son is a tragedy that’s universal and one that shakes every parent, every family to its core.

A police report alleges Emilie’s son, Trigg, was playing near the family’s backyard pool with an inflatable chair and was believed to have tripped and fallen into the water accidentally.

It’s also alleged that Emilie’s husband Brady was home at the time with their newborn but was distracted from actively supervising Trigg. It’s estimated Trigg was in the pool for seven minutes before being discovered.

This shocking tale highlights that children drown fast, quietly and often when parents are distracted.

Emma Dommett, co-owner of Shapland Swim Schools Aura, says children like Trigg remind us that even loving, attentive parents can experience a tragedy in just a few minutes of inattention.

“The best protection isn’t just swim lessons or pool fences – it’s a watchful, undistracted adult within arm’s reach, every time a child is near water. Put mobile phones away.”

In Australia, the drowning deaths of children aged zero to four fell this year to 21 per cent below the 10-year average, according to Royal Life Saving Australia’s National Drowning Report 2025

While this statistic is encouraging, the report found that the majority of drowning deaths of kids in this age group happened in a swimming pool (53 per cent), followed by lakes and dams (27 per cent).

Sixty per cent of all drowning deaths in this cohort were male.

The report also highlights that the leading activity prior to drowning was an unintentional fall into water (53 per cent), followed by swimming and recreating (13 per cent).

“Most drownings in this age group (0-4 years) happen from unexpected entry – a toddler leaning over the pool edge or chasing a toy. Knowing safe entry and exit habits builds awareness and reduces risk,” Emma says.

Forest Glen’s Bubble’n’Kick swim school’s managing director and trainer Kymberlee Clift says it takes less than three centimetres of water and under 30 seconds to drown – less time than boiling the kettle or ordering Uber Eats.

“As a paramedic and swim instructor, too many times have I attended, or been

told stories, of children drowning surrounded by adults because everyone thought someone else was watching,” Kymberlee says.

“Too often I see on the pool deck or at the beach, parents on phones or trying to get that Instagram-worthy shot and not actually paying attention to what their children are doing.

They are fast, they are unpredictable –stay alert.”

According to Kymberlee, there’s a dark side to the reported national decrease in drowning deaths of young kids.

“The factors behind the decrease in this statistic are actually more alarming.

“This result is not due to our littlest swimmers being more capable and supervision more active and appropriate, but because our kids are not swimming.”

Factors include limited swimming lesson availability due to an industry shortage of qualified instructors; increasing costs (pre-COVID group classes averaged $16-$20 each, post-COVID, 30-minute group lessons are $25-$30-plus); reduced practice and exposure time within lessons (lesson standard was 30 minutes, increasingly lessons are being shortened to reduce costs to $20-$22 per lesson).

Emma adds that water safety should never depend on affordability.

“Swimming isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifesaving skill,” she says.

“Every child deserves the chance to learn to swim, no matter their postcode or parents’ income.”

The Queensland Government’s SwimStart voucher program provides up to $150 for swimming lessons to eligible

children up to the age of four. Emma questions why the vouchers are available only for children under five.

“There are plenty of children over the age of five who can’t swim.”

Royal Life Saving Australia has previously estimated that more than 40 per cent of primary school children cannot meet the national benchmarks of swimming 50 metres and floating for two minutes.

The report also found 31 per cent of schools do not offer a learn-to-swim program and one-in-four schools do not conduct a school swimming carnival.

One-in-10 children aged five to 14 years has never attended a swimming lesson in any form and the average drop-out age for those who have had lessons is between seven to nine years, well before achieving the national benchmark for 12-year-olds.

Kymberlee is frustrated that not enough priority is placed on water safety and aquatic education.

“Swimming lessons go in the same bucket as soccer and dancing and art classes and are therefore treated as an ‘extra-curricular’, not a ‘non-negotiable’,” she says. “This is evident in parents pulling their kids out of swimming programs before they have graduated from the program to participate in other activities.

“It’s evident in ‘token’ SwimStart vouchers that at best cover six swimming lessons per child and are not accessible to every family, and it is evident in the lack of funding provided to school programs to substantiate appropriate and resultsdriven delivery.”

WHY & WHERE OLDIES ARE ‘DYING’ TO SWIM

One-in-three drowning deaths in Australia is a person aged over 65 years, making seniors the biggest at-risk group.

In Queensland, the highest number of drowning deaths (20 per cent) were in the 75-plus bracket (based on data collected between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025).

In the Sunshine state, overall, there were 90 drowning deaths during this period, equating to a 36 per cent increase based on a 10-year average of 66. Of those who drowned, 77 per cent were male and 24 per cent were born overseas.

“Generally, males are greater risk takers – both socially and protectively –and they participate in more aquatic activities (fishing and boating, camping and surfing) compared to females who look out for where we can shop, coffee and get our nails done at the beach,” Bubble’n’Kick’s Kymberlee Clift says.

Drilling it down further, the Sunshine Coast ranks number two, second only to Darwin and surrounding areas, as the metro region in Australia recording the highest drowning rate.

Within Queensland, Wide Bay/ Sunshine Coast, together with southwest Queensland, has the state’s secondhighest incidence of drowning after Torres

and Cape, Cairns and hinterland, and northwest Queensland.

Overall, the Sunshine Coast is ranked 33 nationally with 1.37 drownings per population of 100,000.

Drowning deaths in Queensland mainly occurred at rivers/creeks (32 per cent), followed by beaches (23 per cent), and then while swimming and recreating (30 per cent).

Of note, the number of beach-related drowning deaths was up 62 per cent from the 10-year average, and the number of drowning deaths in July was more than double the 10-year average.

Aaron Purchase, state regional operations manager Surf Life Saving Queensland, says there’s a lot to unpack in this data. “Australia has an ageing population, so there simply are more people in that age bracket (65-plus) than there has ever been in the past.”

He says that historically, drownings peak during the summer months, but now it’s “pretty busy” throughout the entire Queensland surf lifesaving season from September to May.

“The population’s increasing, so there’s just more people recreating on the beaches more frequently than what there

was in the past. It’s probably reasonable to assume that there is going to be some increase in those stats over time.

“Ideally they’d [deaths] be zero, but realistically speaking, we’re probably never going to have the resources to get to that.”

Speaking to the situation on the Sunshine Coast, Aaron says his observations are mostly anecdotal.

In the 65-plus age group, Aaron says, “All of the drownings that we’ve experienced are outside of the flags or before or after the beaches are patrolled. So, it’s really people who are recreating, whether it’s swimming or paddling, jet skis or kayaks.”

Aaron encourages local seniors to talk to their GP about how they like to recreate and to only undertake water activities that they’re fit to do.

“Then you’re not putting yourself in a stressful dynamic environment like the ocean that, you know, potentially can bring on some of those [medical] conditions, if they are hiding under the surface.”

For the past two years, SLSC Sunshine Coast has delivered a water-safe seniors program, which the club advertises through its social media.

“We run them [seniors] through a few activities about learning about what rip curves do, how they take you out, how to be safe or safely get yourself out of one and other things to look out for so they can enjoy the beach safely.”

SLSC Sunshine Coast also offers programs for migrants and particularly school-age children to make sure they are doing some form of swimming assessment.

“In terms of internationals, we try to ensure that the information we publish is available in a number of different languages and we tailor that based on the data that we get about rescues and drownings. There’s also ‘surf speak’ information on our website,” Aaron says.

“But I think it’ll be an ongoing challenge, particularly as tourism increases. Beaches are one of the biggest drawcards to Queensland and beaches in the southeast corner in particular.”

DANIEL’S LAW SET TO PROTECT CHILDREN

In an Australian first, Queensland parents and caregivers will have access to a public child sex offender register.

Alandmark law honouring Daniel Morcombe will deliver Australia’s first public child sex offender register.

Daniel’s Law was passed in Queensland Parliament on October 30, more than two decades after Sunshine Coast teenager Daniel Morcombe was abducted and murdered by a sex offender.

It also came on the eve of Day for Daniel, which promotes child safety awareness nationwide.

“As Daniel’s mum and dad, we’re incredibly proud,” Bruce Morcombe said at state parliament. “I’m incredibly indebted to the Crisafulli government for making this happen in a relatively short space of time… this is about protecting children.”

The Morcombes are now pushing for the adoption of a national register.

Daniel’s Law is designed to help people identify child sex offenders in breach of their court orders, find out if any live nearby and check the background of anyone who has unsupervised access to their children.

There are also safeguards to prevent misuse of the public register, with vigilantes facing jail terms of up to 10 years.

Similar laws are in place in Western Australia, however it has more restricted register access.

Premier David Crisafulli said Daniel’s Law would help parents protect children.

“For too long, monsters have been hiding in plain sight, living next door, having interactions with kids,” he said.

“This gives parents another tool to try and keep their kids safe.”

Under Daniel’s Law, child sex offenders who fail in their reporting obligations will have their information available to the public on the register. Parents and caregivers can apply and check whether another person set to look after their child has a history of child sex offences.

“We will give parents something they have never had before – the right to know, the right to see the truth that for too long has been hidden behind closed files and locked doors,” Police Minister Dan Purdie said. – AAP

WE LOVE OUR PETS

The Sunshine Coast was crowned the second most pet-friendly city in Australia, according to a recent report.

The report by home removalist company, Muval, analysed the 50 most populated cities in Australia to determine which locations offer pet-friendliness. Using key metrics across four categories: infrastructure, affordability, legislation and policy, and health and safety, it revealed the best places in Australia for pet owners to live.

Data was collected from the latest available government sources, industry publications, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) and open map databases.

The Coast achieved an overall score of 94.88/100 and was ranked second only to New South Wales’ Nowra/Bomaderry.

The region also scored highly in pet affordability (94.2). The Coast has a pet care network, including 14.1 pet groomers per 100,000 people and a solid veterinary sector.

GIFT OF FREEDOM: $10K DONATION BRINGS HOPE TO PEREGIAN FAMILY

Two community groups have got behind a life-changing fundraiser to help give 10-year-old Isabella Taylor the freedom and safety she deserves. WORDS: Abbey Cannan.

Peregian’s Isabella Taylor, 10, will soon have new wheels thanks to a ‘life-changing’ donation from two Noosa groups.

Isabella lives with dyskinetic spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that leaves her unable to walk or talk.

She also experiences epilepsy, hip dysplasia, developmental delay and severe dystonia, among other health challenges caused by a severe brain injury.

Her single mum, Lauren Taylor, bought an imported wheelchair car when Isabella was three, but it’s no longer safe to drive.

“Our current van is over 16 years old, and I used my superannuation to buy it,” Lauren says.

“The ramp and the tie-downs keep breaking down, so that’s been an issue.

“It’s not certified to Australian standards, so we’ve been fundraising to get a car that’s safe and reliable as soon as possible.”

When Glenn Puckeridge from Smile for A Child Foundation read her story, he knew he needed to help.

“Who could not feel for this family?” he says.

“That’s what we’re about. It’s about sick kids and their families. It’s not just the child suffering; it’s the whole family. So, we like to put a Band-Aid on that...

you’re going to get me emotional.”

The foundation, which has suppor ted sick children and their families for 20 years, teamed up with the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Supporters Club to reach a $10,000 total donation.

Club president Ian Young says the decision to chip in is an easy one.

“When this came up, we said no brainer, we’ll give them whatever they want,” he says.

Lauren was at the pharmacy with Isabella when she received the life-changing phone call.

“I was in tears,” Lauren says.

“We’re excited and a little overwhelmed. It’s just an incredible feeling.”

Isabella is an inspiration to many as a social, happy, clever and kind girl.

Her favourite person in the world is her little sister, Ohana, who is six, and her grandma.

“This donation is life-changing for us as it’s getting us one step closer towards getting a vehicle for Izzy to travel in her wheelchair safely.”

Lauren says the family has been humbled by the outpouring of community support, including ongoing fundraising efforts by the Surf For Kids charity.

For the former elite athlete-turnedfilmmaker, it could be a serendipitous case of life coming full circle.

The film was funded with assistance from the Sunshine Coast Council and private investors, and made for under $1 million by 3lite Productions – Jane’s own production company.

Jane gave birth to her first child on June 10, and 10 days later, her ‘other baby’ was ‘birthed’ on Netflix.

“It’s been such a rewarding journey seeing the film find its audience on Netflix ANZ and now being recognised among Australia’s top filmmakers.”

ON THE EDGE OF SUCCESS

Independent Aussie feature film, The Edge, is in consideration for 14 AACTA awards across 10 categories, including best feature film and best independent feature film.

Sunshine Coast filmmaker Jane Larkin and her film, The Edge, are up for a swag of prestigious AACTA awards. WORDS: Lucinda Dean. for best director, best producer, best screenplay and best lead actress. The AACTA awards will be held next year in February at HOTA (Home of the Arts) on the Gold Coast, where The Edge had its world premiere in May.

Local filmmaker Jane Larkin is also up

Jane conceived the idea for The Edge at 15 when she was on her first overseas trip representing her country in sprinting.

“When I started writing it, I realised that there were no female narratives in the sporting world, at least there weren’t any films where I saw myself represented, and I’d always wanted to see myself represented because my favourite films were Remember the Titans and other sports narratives, but they always seemed to focus on men,” she says.

“And if there were ever female sporting films, they seemed to be like Honey or Bring It On or cheerleading, and I wanted it to be really gritty.

“I wanted the world of sport to coexist with what it is to be a female athlete, so of

course all the girls have drama in their personal lives as well as in their sporting journeys, and I felt like that really needed to be shown.”

Jane starred in her first lead role alongside First Nations woman powerlifter and cancer survivor, Lily Riley, and Japanese Paralympic swimmer Mei Ichinose.

Jane had previously acted in Boy Swallows Universe and Ron Howard’s Thirteen Lives, but Lily and Mei were primarily athletes, not professional actors.

The Edge was also a Septimius Awards 2025 contender.

It was nominated for Best Oceanian Film along with Spit (David Wenham) and the Maori film Ka Whawhai Tonu. Mei Ichinose also received a nomination for Best Asian Actress.

“If you decide to make another film down the track, it helps to have these accolades under your belt,” Jane says.

“Streaming services have been so terrific in so many ways, and Netflix ANZ provides the biggest reach.

“Ultimately, we want people to see what we pour our passion into.”

Jane is quietly confident of succeeding at the AACTAs: “Our film is on the streaming service, it measures up, it’s easily accessible, so I think it’s got a really good chance”.

Hello everyone,

FROM THE MAYOR

It was a privilege to recently open the Sunshine Coast Screen Summit to welcome screen professionals, decision-makers and industry leaders.

Our region is rapidly gaining recognition as a vibrant hub for film, TV and digital content.

This year, Jane Larkin’s powerful film The Edge – shot across Mount Ngungun, Mooloolaba and UniSC – premiered on Netflix in Australia and New Zealand. Stan’s Black Snow returned for a gripping second season, filmed in the Glass House Mountains.

Meanwhile, initiatives like the Sunny Coast Showdown are injecting funding and opportunities directly into our creative sector, supporting stories that are set here, created here and owned here.

As Screen Queensland says, this is “Queensland starring as Queensland” – and the Sunshine Coast is leading the way.

With student productions, cadetships and festivals like ShowFest 2025, we’re nurturing the next generation of screen professionals.

This has always been the goal of our Sunshine Coast Regional Economic Development Strategy – to create a region that is Connected, Liveable and Thriving.

The stage is set for a bright future and I’m excited to watch it unfold.

Give a sheet for the planet this National Recycling Week!

Why not clean out your linen closet and help the local environment while you’re at it?

This spring, don’t just declutter –transform your tired textiles into something meaningful for the environment.

To champion National Recycling Week, Sunshine Coast Council has teamed up with BlockTexx® to hold a community textile recycling event, Give a Sheet® for the Planet.

Simply clean out your linen cupboards and drop off clean sheets, towels, pillowcases, quilt covers and linen that are no longer wanted at Chancellor State College, Secondary Campus, Sippy Downs Drive, Sippy Downs on November 8, from 8am until noon.

All donated linen will be converted into valuable, high-grade recycled materials by BlockTexx to be used

by Australian manufacturers to create new products.

Sunshine Coast Council Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez says the event is a great way to clean out the closet and recycle for the environment.

“Last year Sunshine Coast residents dropped off a whopping three tonnes of linen at the event,” Cr Suarez says.

“This year, we’re encouraging even more households to take part in this innovative recycling initiative.

“This event gives the community a convenient way to do their part in creating a cleaner, greener environment and sustainable future, all while winning back some space in their cupboards.”

IFOR THE LOVE OF BIRDS

Ashley Robinson had a firsthand experience with the dreaded ‘white line fever’ recently. Only this time, it didn’t involve a football, just a macaw.

am not sure if you are familiar with white line fever? It refers to people who are quite ‘normal’ until they step onto a football field, into a ring or in any competitive situation. Then, their personality changes to crazy.

We have all seen it, some of us have done it, and just recently, I experienced the fever firsthand.

For regular readers, you would know that my wife, Old Mate, is a wildlife carer, and to be fair, a pretty good pet detective when it comes to helping folks track down lost pets, particularly birds.

The other morning, I overheard a phone conversation. It was a friend’s daughter who had a macaw land on her back verandah. Of course, she feared birds.

Unbeknownst to me, the white line fever was starting to kick in – Old Mate knew about this bird being missing. Like an idiot, I volunteered to go with her. After all, they are a big bird. She agreed.

As we were leaving and she was trying to figure out the address, our youngest son turned up and stupidly offered some advice on how to find it.

Well, he got shot down in flames.

It appeared that the white line fever had fully kicked in.

I decided to have a crack at her about the way she spoke to him. The result? I got asked if I wanted to get out of the car.

“Yes!”

The car came to a screeching halt, and I was told, in no uncertain terms, that if I got out, there would be repercussions.

Nervously, I stayed seated, and we tensely arrived at our destination to find the bird on the back porch.

Macaws, as you may know, are the size of a small dog with the wingspan of an F18, a beak like you’ve never seen and feet like a human hand, only serrated.

This bird didn’t seem too interested in a crazed bird woman, but it seemed to like me. With an audience watching on, we managed to get it into a confined space. It was then my job to coax it into a carry crate.

Well, I had puncture marks all over my arms and a sore thumb, but the mission was complete. Thankfully, my wife turned back into her normal self immediately once the bird was safe. It had a happy ending.

She found the owner. I nearly lost half a thumb, but saved the day.

ITHE CRIME OF THE CENTURY

Sami Muirhead can’t help but admire the audacity of the Louvre thieves. However, her own experience with jewellery swindling was a lot less glamorous.

sn’t there something wickedly delicious and old-fashioned about that heist at the Louvre?

The Napoleonic jewellery crime has captivated the world and with reason.

I am smitten with the details.

The hooded thieves smashed a Seine-adjacent gallery window and made off into the Parisian streets with eight pieces of historically priceless jewellery.

Well, maybe not priceless – the precious jewels (including a 1300-diamond tiara) have a combined price tag of a whopping $154 million.

Not bad, hey? Who needs to watch action movies?

Reading about this daredevil act, carried out in broad daylight, made my heart race a little faster.

I am in awe. The audacity. Such brazen acts to bag the bling. The foursome arrived in a lift and left on scooters. They even stopped at a red light on their way home. That is pure class.

You know, I feel it is okay to be a little happy for the culprits because no one lost their life savings and no one’s grandma got tricked by cyber scamsters.

opinions expressed are those of the authors. These are not the views of My Weekly Preview publishers.

In a world of fast-paced technology, it feels almost old-fashioned. George Clooney should play the lead robber when art mimics real life and a movie is made.

I was once a victim of jewellery swindling. A former boyfriend proposed to me in a hot air balloon with a big stupid grin on his face and a huge, round diamond ring in his hand. It was a magnificent chunk of ice that made me weak at the knees.

I guessed it must have been two carats. But when that boyfriend and I broke up a few weeks after the proposal (I was not ready to settle down), I reluctantly gave the ring back. Old mate told me it was a fake diamond and it had cost him less than $100. How insulting!

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend – not cubic zirconias!

Back to the Louvre heist.

It took that clever group of cat burglars the same time to pull off the crime of the decade as it does for my coffee gal to make my regular-sized latte when the café is busy. I mean, seven minutes.

The album version of Champagne Super Nova by Oasis runs longer.

THE LINE BETWEEN ABLED AND DISABLED IS THIN DEPOSIT SCHEME FUELS PROPERTY PRICE GROWTH

The housing market has recorded its sharpest price boost in more than two years, with October values jumping 1.1 per cent.

Property prices have recorded the sharpest growth in more than two years after the government’s deposit guarantee scheme ignited demand for entry-level homes.

The first-home buyer scheme, which was expanded at the start of October, appears to have turbocharged the growth in house prices that had already been occurring since the Reserve Bank started cutting interest rates in February.

In October, home prices grew by 1.1 per cent nationally – the fastest monthly growth rate since June 2023 – according to property analytics firm Cotality’s latest home value index, published last week.

While there was still a lack of data about uptake levels for the deposit guarantee scheme, Cotality research director Tim Lawless says it is likely the scheme is amplifying demand.

“It’s a pretty clear acceleration that we’ve been seeing since February, since the start of the rate cuts. But it’s fair to say, October does seem to be a bit of a stronger step upwards,” he says.

“You’d have to think, without having any numbers from Housing Australia or anything like that, this is going to be adding some further demand to the marketplace at a time when supply levels are already quite scarce.”

Anecdotally, the middle to lower end of the market, where suburbs or properties are under price caps for the scheme, has experienced the strongest

growth, Mr Lawless says.

The upper quartile of the market is exhibiting the slowest growth across almost every capital city.

The rush of buyers looking to take advantage of the five per cent deposit scheme has left just 47 per cent of suburbs nationwide with median house values below the eligibility threshold in October, down from 51 per cent two months prior.

“It’s going to be a program that’s probably first in, best dressed,” Mr Lawless says. “The more desirable suburbs, where you still can find a home under the price caps, are going to become scarcer and scarcer.”

While increased demand was pushing up prices, an underlying lack of supply was still the overwhelming driver of price growth, Mr Lawless says, with listings tracking about 18 per cent below average.

“I wouldn’t say demand is shooting the lights out. It’s really a supply-driven upswing that doesn’t look like is going to be changing any time soon.”

Compass Institute CEO David Dangerfield says the human spirit, humour and resilience unite all who rise against challenges.

When I was 29 years old, my two sisters were involved in an extremely serious car accident in Brisbane.

I rushed back from overseas to support them and was told that my younger sister – the baby of the family –would be unlikely to survive. If she did, it would be in, what the doctor described as, a ‘vegetative state’.

She fought every step of the way, and a year later, I carried her home. This beautiful, talented and intelligent young woman was dreadfully emaciated, weighing less than 40 kilograms, had an acquired brain injury and had lost 80 per cent of her sight on her left side. Scarred and battered, she began to rebuild herself.

Four years after that accident, she married her long-term boyfriend, went on to have and raise two children, run a 200-acre property and establish a business.

The key is not whether we have impairments that may cause us to be disabled in various areas of life. The key is how people we might see as disabled tap into resilience, humour, perseverance and workarounds to navigate and optimise their lives. And that’s where the illusion of a division between abled and disabled becomes obvious.

The common theme of our shared

humanity is revealed. Those spirited characteristics are the very things we all admire and aspire to in our lives for the simple reason that they unite all those who rise above their various challenges. The challenges that are not illusory, however, are the many barriers prohibiting people with disabilities from full participation in our shared world. These include our own fear; fear that we’ll say the wrong thing, not behave appropriately, not understand people’s communication or needs. Other barriers include the built environment and economic opportunity. The good news is that fear, environment and opportunity are areas where we can have a real impact. What if you could be the difference with a smile, a kind word and an open mind? As Dirty Harry said, “Go ahead, make my day!”

LESSONS IN A FUN-BASED ENVIRONMENT

The Shapland method of teaching children and adults to swim originated in the late 1930s.

Thomas ‘Pop’ Shapland was teaching swimming in the Toowoomba municipal baths, an old fill and drain pool. This tried and proven method of

teaching swimming is still as relevant today as it was eight decades ago.

The new Shapland Swim School at Aura reflects how the facilities and teaching pool have changed over time. The class size is limited to three pupils per class, regardless of age or ability,

to allow the experienced owners and teachers to deliver a first-class swimming lesson.

Emma, Isaac and Maddy pride themselves on conducting swimming lessons that cater for their pupils’ physical and psychological needs. Their aim is to present the lessons in a fun-based learning experience.

At Shapland, one of the unique teaching methods is that they don’t allow pupils to wear goggles until they can prove to their instructor that they can swim without them.

Not many parents realise how dangerous it is for their children to always wear goggles when they are learning to swim and when they are swimming recreationally.

Here is a challenge: if your child always wears goggles, ask them to swim without them and see what happens. If they have an aquatic accident, the chances are it will be without their goggles.

Shapland has been an industry leader since 1947.

WOMAN’S 30-YEAR PAIN NIGHTMARE FINALLY ENDS

After surviving a horrific car crash that shattered her pelvis in five places, Buderim’s Tracey Pugsley spent more than 30 years trapped in chronic, excruciating pain, until she found a revolutionary therapy at Cluzie Clinic.

At just 20 years old, Tracey was cut from the wreckage of a burning car. Though she was lucky to survive, the accident left her body broken and her future uncertain. The next three decades became a battle – one filled with endless medical appointments, treatments and tears.

“When you’re in constant pain for that long, it doesn’t just take over your body, it takes over your life,” Tracey says.

“I tried everything. Doctors, physio, chiropractic, acupuncture, pain meds, nothing made a difference. I’d watch my

family walk on the beach while I sat in agony, wishing I could join them. It broke me.”

Then, a friend told her about Amino Neuro Frequency (ANF) Therapy, a cutting-edge European innovation now available on the Sunshine Coast. It completely transformed her life.

Offered at Cluzie Clinic in Buderim, ANF Therapy is a treatment that uses the body’s own electrical frequencies to reduce inflammation and restore natural balance, without drugs, injections, or surgery.

“Tracey had full-body inflammation and chronic pain, the exact type of case where ANF Therapy shines,” explains Claire Dunkley, Cluzie Clinic’s head clinical nurse consultant and a leading ANF instructor.

“Most people know about ECGs, which measure the heart’s electrical frequency. But the entire body runs on these kinds of signals. ANF Therapy works by resetting and optimising those frequencies to help the body heal itself.”

By gently supporting the body’s natural communication pathways, ANF Therapy can reduce pain, calm inflammation, and restore mobility.

“For the first time in 30 years, I could walk pain-free,” Tracey says.

GLAUCOMA: THE SILENT THIEF OF SIGHT

Glaucoma is one of the most common eye conditions in Australia and a leading cause of irreversible vision loss.

Often called the ‘silent thief of sight’, it gradually damages your peripheral vision without pain or obvious symptoms, meaning people don’t realise they have glaucoma until progression has progressed to legal blindness.

What makes glaucoma particularly concerning is that it affects your peripheral vision – the side vision that helps you move safely through the world. Peripheral vision is critical for balance, which can prevent falls.

The good news is that glaucoma can be detected early through a thorough eye examination with an experienced ophthalmologist. Early detection is key, as treatment can begin before vision loss occurs.

Who is at risk? Family history is one of the strongest risk factors, along with high pressure inside the eye and older age groups. Other factors, such as medical conditions like low blood pressure and migraines and certain ethnicities, are also at a higher risk.

What happens in glaucoma? Glaucoma occurs when there is

progressive damage to the optic nerve, the vital connection between the eye and the brain. This damage is most commonly caused by high pressure inside the eye. Can it be treated? Yes. While vision loss from glaucoma cannot be reversed, treatment can slow or even stop further damage. The aim of all treatments is to lower eye pressure. Options include eye drops, laser therapy, minimally invasive stents and surgical options, including glaucoma filtration surgery.

The most important step you can take is regular eye examinations, especially if you have a family history of glaucoma. With early diagnosis and proper management, it’s possible to protect your vision and maintain your quality of life. Visit bestpracticeeyecare.com.au.

DISTURBED SLEEP CAN LEAD TO A DIRTY MIND

By design, your brain washes itself every night, literally!

Scientists have recently discovered the glymphatic system, a hidden plumbing network that clears away waste and protein plaques from between brain cells while we sleep.

Think of it as your brain’s nightly rinse cycle, flushing out the buildup that can affect memory, concentration, mood and long-term brain health.

This remarkable cleaning process is most active during the deep stages of non-REM sleep, when the body is fully relaxed and brain waves slow down.

During this phase, cerebrospinal fluids wash away toxins.

The waste is then transported through the body’s plumbing system to the liver and kidneys for disposal.

Most of this cleaning happens in the first half of the night, when we experience the deepest sleep.

So, why is undiagnosed sleep apnea a problem?

When sleep cycles are repeatedly interrupted, the brain doesn’t get the deep rest it needs to do this clean.

Sleep apnea (where breathing stops and starts throughout the night) is one of the most common culprits.

Each event jolts the body out of deep sleep and can also starve it of oxygen. Over time, that may leave behind waste linked to memory loss, dementia, depression and brain fog.

It is vital to recognise the signs.

Up to 80 per cent of people with sleep apnea don’t know they have it.

Watch for:

• loud or chronic snoring

• daytime tiredness despite getting “enough” sleep

• night-time urination

• brain fog or low mood.

The good news? Sleep apnea is treatable, and better sleep means a clearer, healthier mind.

RFA TARGETS SHOULDERS TO RELIEVE DISCOMFORT

Shoulder radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to alleviate chronic shoulder pain.

It targets and disrupts the nerves that transmit pain signals.

This technique involves the use of radiofrequency energy to create heat lesions on specific nerves in the shoulder joint or surrounding tissues, effectively interrupting their ability to transmit pain signals to the brain.

Shoulder RFA is often considered for patients who have not experienced adequate pain relief from conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy or steroid injections. Common conditions that may be treated with shoulder RFA include chronic shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) and other sources of persistent shoulder pain.

The procedure is typically performed and guided by imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound to ensure accurate placement of the RFA probe.

Once positioned, the radiofrequency energy is delivered to the targeted nerves, creating a controlled thermal lesion that disrupts their ability to transmit pain signals.

Following shoulder RFA, patients

may experience some temporary discomfort or soreness at the treatment site, but this usually resolves within a few days. Many patients report significant pain relief and improved shoulder function in the weeks following the procedure, as the targeted nerves are no longer able to transmit pain signals effectively.

Shoulder RFA is generally considered a safe and effective treatment option for chronic shoulder pain, offering longlasting relief and improved quality of life for many patients. As with any medical procedure, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if shoulder RFA is an appropriate treatment option, based on individual needs and medical history.

Visiting an independent hearing clinic for the first time can feel unfamiliar, but the process is simple, supportive and designed to put you at ease.

You’ll start with a warm welcome and a chat about your hearing concerns, medical background, lifestyle and any noise exposure. This comprehensive history helps the audiometrist understand your needs and tailor the assessment accordingly.

Next comes a quick ear health check. Using a small light called an otoscope, the audiometrist will look inside your ears to check for wax buildup, infection, or anything that might affect your hearing. If wax removal is needed, they’ll talk you through the options.

Then it’s time for the hearing test itself. You’ll sit in a sound-treated room wearing special insert phones while listening to a series of tones and words at different volumes and pitches. You’ll press a button or repeat words to indicate what you hear. It’s painless and usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes.

Once the test is complete, your results are plotted on an audiogram – a visual map of your hearing.

THE BEST SKIN CANCER CARE IS A TEAM EFFORT

Skin cancer affects more than 75 per cent of Australians by the time they are 75 years old.

That proportion is higher in people with fair or olive skin types.

Many people develop skin cancers regularly, meaning ongoing surveillance and care. They may also have difficulty with flaky or uncomfortable sundamaged skin.

With the Sunshine Coast having among the highest skin cancer rates in the country (and the world), identifying and managing skin cancer is important and can be challenging.

To help combat this problem, SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre in Wises Road, Buderim/Maroochydore, has been building a team of trained and experienced skin cancer doctors supported by caring and efficient nursing and reception staff.

All of the doctors are accredited with the Skin Cancer College of Australasia, or are finalising this in the coming month, and they all have relevant Masters or Diploma degrees.

Dr Nadia Messerschmidt enjoys being efficient and detailed in her approach to skin cancer care. She always looks for the most elegant approach to her surgical work, and has been a hit with her patients since joining the practice.

Dr Daud Yunus always puts his patients first, communicating clearly, and making sure they are welcome and happy in his care. His patients appreciate the experience he shares with them and his dedication to providing quality care.

Dr Marelise Pretorius is kind, practical and focused in her care. Her patients like her no-fuss approach, wealth of experience and open manner.

You can book appointments at SunLife now. No referral needed.

DIABETES

It’s vital: diabetes awareness at work

Diabetes doesn’t switch off during work hours and for many Australians living with the condition, juggling blood glucose management alongside professional responsibilities can be challenging. From shift work and skipped meals to highpressure meetings, workplace environments play a significant role in how each person manages their diabetes.

In the lead-up to World Diabetes Day on November 14, Diabetes Complete Care is highlighting the importance of supportive workplace practices. The team is encouraging conversations around how employers and colleagues can make a difference by providing education, access to healthier food options and creating a culture of understanding.

To mark the occasion, Diabetes Complete Care has launched a Workplace Diabetes Awareness Campaign, calling on people to nominate an employer who has made a meaningful impact on their diabetes journey.

Recognising and sharing these stories not only celebrates inclusion, it inspires change. Diabetes Complete Care continues to support individuals and workplaces with education, personalised care plans and practical tools for better diabetes management at work. Do you know how to help if someone has a hypo?

ORTHOPAEDIC

Muscle-sparing option may help with knee surgery

Knee replacement surgery is generally considered a very successful operation in orthopaedics.

One of the first things patients ask me when considering a knee replacement is how much pain they’ll be in – and how long recovery will take.

These are natural concerns, and thankfully, surgical techniques have progressed over the years to support better outcomes.

One approach I often discuss is the muscle-sparing subvastus technique.

Unlike traditional methods that involve cutting through the quadriceps tendon, this approach gently lifts the vastus medialis muscle to access the joint. By sparing the quadriceps, it aims to minimise soft-tissue trauma.

For some patients, this may mean less post-operative pain, a faster return of muscle control, and improved early mobility.

While this technique isn’t suitable for everyone, it’s an option I consider carefully when planning each patient’s surgery.

Please remember that all surgery has risks and all approaches have advantages and disadvantages.

Minimally invasive spine surgery

The majority of spinal conditions can be treated effectively without surgery.

When surgery is being considered, however, it is important to have specific goals of treatment and minimise collateral damage to healthy structures.

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) offers numerous benefits compared with traditional open surgery.

One of the main advantages is reduced recovery time.

Patients typically experience reduced trauma to surrounding tissues, which means less postoperative pain, allowing for faster rehabilitation and a return to daily activities. The precision of minimally invasive techniques allows surgeons to target specific areas without disturbing healthy tissue, enhancing surgical outcomes. Additionally, MISS often results in smaller incisions, which may reduce the risk of infection and scarring.

Overall, minimally invasive spine surgery provides a more patient-friendly option, promoting faster recovery, less discomfort, and high satisfaction, making it an appealing choice for those suffering from spinal conditions.

While not all patients or conditions are suitable for MISS techniques, it is worthwhile asking your spinal surgeon if this is an option for you.

SLICE OF HISTORY UP FOR GRABS

A rare slice of Sunshine Coast history is up for sale, with Tamari Court, Mooloolaba offering both heritage charm and development potential.

Marketed by Ray White Mooloolaba’s Brent Higgins, it will go to auction on November 15. Mr Higgins says the proposed SEQ Regional Plan allowing mixed-use buildings up to 28 metres creates an exceptional opportunity for developers. Seller Linda Parsons says her parents built the home and units in the 1950s, with family roots deeply tied to the region – her grandfather owned Mooloolaba’s first ice works serving the fishing industry.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)

On Monday, Mercury starts reversing through your travel and adventure zones. If you are going away (especially interstate or overseas) make sure you double-check your itinerary. And (if possible) avoid signing contracts until after November 30.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

Hey, Lions … remember it’s Mercury Retrograde season. If you stir up grievances with an old adversary, you could find you’ve bitten off more than you can comfortably chew! When it comes to relationship problems, avoid quick fixes.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

Most Sagittarians are happy, glass-half-full kind of folk, so Mercury Retrograde doesn’t usually throw you. You’re used to being disorganised and love it when plans change at the last minute! And you prefer to focus on the positives.

QUIZ

1. What type of animal is Marty from the Madagascar films?

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

Stubborn, slow-moving Bulls prefer things to proceed smoothly, with no surprises along the way. However, with Uranus still transiting through your sign, life continues to be a series of ups and downs. This week the focus is on relationships. Feel the love!

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

Mercury (your ruler) turns retrograde on Monday. It’s the planet of clear thinking, communication, transport, travel, commuting, commerce, computers, media and the internet. So, it’s not a good time to sign contracts or start a job.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

Don’t become so focused on the busyness and minutia of day-to-day life that you lose sight of the bigger picture. Look towards the horizon! Reviewing long-term goals and dreaming ambitious dreams and are the secrets to a successful week.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

With Mercury (your ruling planet) in retrograde mode (from Monday until November 30), resist the urge to over-analyse, over-worry, overstress and overreact. By all means think things through, but avoid getting caught up in an endless, obsessive loop.

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

On Monday, Mercury turns retrograde and – for you –education, communication and travel will be affected. So, expect some of the following – dodgy deadlines, delays, disruptions, mix-ups, misunderstandings, backflips and breakdowns.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

This week Mars and retrograde Mercury activate your hopes-andwishes zone, so it’s a good time to reflect on your goals and dreams for the future. Do they need to be reviewed, revised and rebooted? Then it’s time to be proactive about making positive changes.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

This week Mars and retrograde Mercury hook up in your daily routine and wellbeing zones, which encourages you to revise and reboot your work and/or diet. Nutritious food and will help you bounce through the week with some extra pep in your Crab step.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

Is a financial problem bugging you? A combination of research and old-fashioned hard work will lead to a smart solution that ticks all the boxes. From Monday onwards, retrograde Mercury challenges you to reboot your thinking and revise your strategy.

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

Mercury starts reversing through your career zone on Monday, so relations with a work colleague, client or customer could be challenging. Over the next three weeks, smart Fish folk will pick battles very carefully and choose words very wisely.

Tomorrow holds similar with a gentle NE breeze, before Saturday serves up the pick of the week: shoulder-high sets and crisp morning conditions.

Things ease back Sunday with mellow waist-high peelers perfect for learners.

Early next week stays small but glassy, before a mid-week pulse lifts the swell close to a metre again.

With mostly favourable winds and a touch of summer warmth, it’s shaping up to be a golden week of surf.
