From the editor Can you believe it’s October already? And just 12 weeks until Christmas! The festive decorations are already filling the shops, which has me wondering… where on earth did the year go? This week we have another great line-up of stories for you to enjoy. Our feature story takes a look at the classic car enthusiasts of the Coast. Journalist Lucinda Dean chats with some passionate locals about what draws them to these beautiful old cars and why, for many, it’s about so much more than simply owning a classic vehicle. As a Palmwoods resident, I love driving past Rick’s Garage on the weekends and seeing the plethora of fabulous cars gathered out the front – as captured on this edition's cover. We also have plenty of social snaps from a couple of breakfast events held recently. One of the things I love most about living here is the wonderful sense of connection. It’s great to see local businesses getting together, supporting each other and building those important relationships. Our health feature is packed with great advice to help you stay in tip-top shape, while our property section brings you all the latest on what’s happening in the local market. We hope you enjoy this issue. As always, thanks for letting us be part of your week.

AGENDA

Rosanna Natoli

THE $20 BILLION QUESTION: WHAT’S NEXT? Game-changing projects and the regional economy will be in the spotlight as industry leaders come together to discuss future growth.

ore than $20 billion in public and private investment is expected to transform the Sunshine Coast over the next 15 years, but what will that growth actually mean for the region? This is the question being tackled by some of the Coast’s most influential council, industry and development leaders at next month’s Sunshine Coast Business Council conference, with former Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk among the headline speakers. The Economy, Catalytic Investment, What to Expect event will be held at UniSC

on Wednesday, 7 October, bringing together key voices to examine where the Coast’s economy is heading and how the region can make the most of the unprecedented investment, development and growth. SCBC chair Sandy Zubrinich says the conference provides a rare opportunity to not only look at how far the Sunshine Coast economy has progressed, but to hear directly from those helping shape its next phase. “More than a decade ago, the Sunshine Coast made some very deliberate decisions about the type of economy it wanted to build and the infrastructure and investment

needed to support that,” Ms Zubrinich says.“Many of the projects identified as game changers in the 2013 Regional Economic Development Strategy are now part of the fabric of our region and have helped to fundamentally change our economy. “But we are now at another important point in our growth story. With an estimated $20 billion in public and private investment projected over the next 15 years, significant population growth and Brisbane 2032 on the horizon, the decisions we make now will have consequences well beyond the Games. “This conference gives business and community leaders access to an exceptional line-up of people who can help us understand where our economy sits today, what has driven our progress and, importantly, what we need to get right from here.” Renowned national economist Stephen Walters from Optimal Economics will open the economic discussion with his assessment of the Australian economy and the major forces likely to influence growth and investment in the years ahead. He will be followed by Michael Campbell from Lucid Economics, who will share new findings from research commissioned by SCBC and RDA Moreton Bay & Sunshine Coast examining the performance of the Sunshine Coast and the contribution by the region’s major projects. Ms Zubrinich says the combination will give attendees the opportunity to consider the Sunshine Coast’s performance within the context of the broader national economy. “We don’t often get the opportunity to have national economic

analysis followed immediately by evidencebased research into our own regional economy,” Ms Zubrinich says. “It will allow us to move beyond anecdotal assessments of how the Sunshine Coast is performing and really understand what the data tells us about the impact of the investments made over the past decade.” Mr Quirk will deliver the conference keynote, bringing a particularly timely perspective as the Sunshine Coast prepares for the opportunities and challenges associated with the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Mr Quirk served as Brisbane Lord Mayor from 2011 to 2019, has been a board member of Infrastructure Australia and chaired the independent 2024 review into venues for the Games. He will then participate in a panel discussion alongside Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli, Walker Corporation’s Peter Saba, who is in charge of delivering key elements of the Maroochydore City Centre – Australia’s largest greenfield CBD – and Stockland’s David Laner, whose portfolio includes Aura, Australia’s largest masterplanned community. Ms Zubrinich says having government and major private-sector investors at the same table will be one of the most valuable elements of the conference. “We have a substantial investment pipeline ahead of us, but investment alone does not guarantee the best outcomes. “The real question is how we harness that investment to create the jobs, infrastructure, productivity, housing, connectivity and liveability our growing region needs.” The conference will be held at the UniSC Auditorium from 12.15pm to 5pm on October 7, with tickets available at trybooking.com/DPHTW.

DELIVERING 2032 AND BEYOND In Partnership with the Queensland Government

BUILDING BEYOND 2032

Games delivery shaping South East Queensland’s future SOUTH East Queensland is growing quickly, and the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games provide an opportunity to deliver the venues, transport, housing and community infrastructure the region will need for decades to come. Across the region, that plan is already taking shape. Early works are underway at Brisbane Stadium in the Victoria Park precinct, and at the Brisbane Showgrounds, which will house the Athlete Village and an upgraded 20,000-seat Main Arena, brightening the Ekka’s future and contributing a permanent inner-city housing legacy for Queenslanders. The Queensland Tennis Centre will add up to 3000-seat show court and up to 12 match courts to its existing Pat Rafter Arena. Delivery is progressing across the wider region, with site preparation progressing at the Logan Indoor Sports Centre, design underway at the Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre and the Sunshine Coast Stadium, and a new Redlands whitewater rafting centre being delivered. These facilities are being planned for long-term sporting, event and community use. The Gold Coast is slated to host events at a new arena and hockey centre, to be funded and delivered by the City of Gold Coast, beside its Convention Centre, plus the Athlete Village and triathlon, while Toowoomba’s showgrounds become an Equestrian Centre of Excellence. This activity presents a range of opportunities for South East Queensland businesses to supply goods and services for the Games, across construction, transport, technology, security, event services and more, boosting employment. The 2032 Games will be an event for all of Queensland, with communities across the state slated to share in hosting opportunities, investment and the global spotlight, including Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Mackay, the Whitsundays and Maryborough.

Better connections for a growing South East Queensland MAJOR transport projects across South East Queensland are underway or in planning, including The Wave on the Sunshine Coast, the Logan to Gold Coast Faster Rail, Cross River Rail, the Brisbane Metro expansion, the Gold Coast Light Rail extension from Harbour Town at Biggera Waters to the Gold Coast University Hospital, the GC Surfer bus service linking Robina to Coolangatta via Burleigh Heads and the Gold Coast Airport (Gold Coast Transport Plan), and road upgrades. For Brisbane, that means new rail lines and stations, northern and eastern bus priority corridors, and road upgrades.

Its legacy should be measured in the opportunities it creates long after 2032 a place where Queenslanders can swim, train, gather and connect for decades to come,” Hayne says.

Beyond 2032 a swimming legacy for Queenslanders QUEENSLAND has produced more Olympic swimmers than anywhere else on the planet, yet has never had a facility to match that talent. The Chandler (Sleeman Sports Complex) pool has been home to Queensland swimming since the 1982 Commonwealth Games, but the new National Aquatic Centre will take that legacy further. Rising in the Victoria Park Precinct, the Centre will become the heart of Australian swimming for 2032 and beyond. Design is underway, with a firm appointed via the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority. It will feature a main and secondary stadium

with indoor pools, holding up to 25,000 spectators during the Games and up to 8000 afterwards, alongside the new Brisbane Stadium and Showgrounds. ARM Architecture, Arkhefield and NH Architecture are the principal architects; ARM Director Andrew Hayne says the venue is designed as an inclusive, intergenerational space for Queenslanders well beyond Brisbane. The Centre is part of the Queensland Government’s 2032 Delivery Plan, linking venue construction to road, transport, tourism and grassroots sport upgrades statewide.

That matters to the regions as much as the capital: thousands travel to Brisbane each year for championships, and for many, from Cairns to Charleville, that trip is a first exposure to an Olympic or Paralympic pathway. “Whether you’re chasing gold or teaching your kids to swim, this place will feel welcoming and inspiring from the moment you arrive,” Mr Hayne says. “Its legacy should be measured in the opportunities it creates long after 2032 — a place where Queenslanders can swim, train, gather and connect for decades to come.”

COVER STORY

LET’S RIDE: CARS, CONNECTION & CHARACTER Writer Lucinda Dean discovers a little nostalgia, plenty of revs and a whole lot of passion when she drops into a Sunshine Coast car meet and finds the stories behind the machines.

andsborough, Father’s Day 2026. The car park area designated for cars and coffee was filling fast when I arrived around 7.30am. Polished chrome caught the morning sun, bonnet lids were raised. A congregation of mostly men, and some women, had gathered to admire and pass judgement on each other’s cars. While waiting for my cappuccino, John Bridge, 62, struck up a conversation with me about his friend Bryan Smith’s 1975 VJ Valiant, resplendent in its Plum Crazy paintwork. When I learned this striking car was possibly the only one of its kind remaining in Australia, my interest was piqued. But what began as a conversation about a rare car soon became a story about a friendship based on a shared passion for old school cars that has lasted more than 40 years. According to John, ‘old school’ is defined as any car without a computer. As teenagers, John lived at Burnside and Bryan at Nambour Heights. Money was scarce, so to keep their cars on the road, they had to help each other out when the vehicles needed a little love. “We’d break them on Friday night then work on them Saturday so you could go out again Saturday night,” John says. Bryan, now 58, bought his Valiant 15

16 My Weekly Preview | October 1, 2026

years ago. It’s an unusual car, partly because of the circumstances surrounding its drivetrain. As John explains, industrial disputes and supply problems in the 1970s meant the car ended up with an American TorqueFlite (instead of an Australian Borg-Warner), something rarely seen in a six-cylinder Valiant. But what makes this car really interesting is it has called the Sunshine Coast home its entire life. It was purchased new in 1975 from Wyn Motors in Nambour. Bryan bought it 36 years later from a Mopar dealer, also in Nambour. Over time, John has helped modify the car in ways to make it suitable for cruising. John claims the car scene on the Coast is booming. When asked why, he responds: “I think people want to hold onto a little bit of history and relive their youth”. His current project is a Ford Falcon XC and he has something to prove: that restoring an old car doesn’t have to be a rich person’s game. “I’m trying to prove you can build a car without having to get a mortgage, so I’m doing everything myself,” he says. He estimates the project will cost less than $10,000. “I can prove to people that it can be

Bryan Smith, 58, with his rare purple valiant done for that much. It might even be less. It’s not going to be a show car. “It’s just going to be something to drive. You want to hop in, turn the key and just drive.” John’s philosophy comes from

decades as a truck mechanic and from learning the “old-fashioned way”. “I was taught, like the movie Running on Empty, it’s all in the fingers, it’s all in the feel,” he explains. “You use a screwdriver to listen to things, you put myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY your hand on it, you become one with it, that’s how I was taught. “I learnt from my uncle, who’s now passed, how to tune cars without a timing light and no gear, just my eyes – and that’s how you do it.” For John, cars are about more than driving pleasure. They’re also about community. He’s been with the Just 8s club for 12 years. The club has more than 200 members and has raised money for charities across the Sunshine Coast, with men’s and women’s health among its major causes. John introduces me to another car enthusiast, 79-year-old Sandy Fleming, and I find myself sitting in the passenger seat of her magenta 1972 VH Charger. As Sandy talks me through the specs – a 265 hemi, triple Webers, four-speed manual gearbox and upgraded Commodore front brakes – it’s evident that her passion is palpable. “I just love it. It’s my space, my freedom, my escape and I play music so loud I never ask anyone to come with me because they couldn’t stand it,” she laughs. The soundtrack varies from Vangelis (atmospheric electronic beats) to pop rock, psy-trance, dance and dark country. Sandy’s husband, Lyle Lawrence, restored the Charger for her when the couple purchased it 20 years ago. “When it was first done, I did go to local shows and it won about 14 trophies,” Sandy says. “It wouldn’t win anything at a big hot rod show, it’s not good enough. “It wasn’t built as a show car because I want to drive it. I don’t want to have a car that I just sit and look at it in the garage.” Sandy came of age during the 1960s and 1970s muscle car era but confesses she “wasn’t into cars” back then. But it was love at first sight when she first laid eyes on a 1957 Customline. Her passion for cars grew from there – and ultimately led her to Lyle. The pair met through their shared love of cars 30 years ago and have now been married for 20. Lyle had a Charger

myweeklypreview.com.au

Sandy Fleming, 79 with her charger back then too and the duo was in the same car club. These days Lyle drives a Chrysler 300C and the couple’s everyday car is a Commodore ute. But driving her Charger is what gets Sandy’s internal motor racing. “I know it’s just a hunk of metal, and I don’t worship it, although I do love it. It’s a car,” she laughs. As we continue to chat, Neville Humpherys, 53, saunters past and greets Sandy with this comment: “I know your Charger, I chased you down Glenview Road the other day”. Many of the people here seem to know each other by their cars, and are not necessarily acquainted on a firstname basis. Neville’s passion is the Leyland P76, the Australian-designed and Australianbuilt car manufactured in Sydney and released in 1973. Neville tells me production lasted only a short time, with roughly 16,000 to 18,000 built. It was deemed a “lemon” not long after release amid quality problems, while the 1973 oil crisis, production difficulties and the financial collapse of British Leyland

contributed to its short-lived success. Today, its scarcity has made it a sought-after piece of Australian motoring history. For Neville, though, the appeal is personal. His parents and grandparents owned P76s. In 1979, Neville’s grandparents used theirs to tow a caravan around Australia. Neville bought his first P76 in 1990 and now owns two fairly rare Targa Florios, in Omega Navy and Nutmeg, both kept in original condition. He is also the technical adviser for the Queensland P76 club, which has about 40 members. Like John, his car knowledge was earned through necessity. “I just tinkered around. Did it myself and figured it out.” That same instinct has passed to his sons, Travis, 22, and Marcus, 20. Travis is a diesel mechanic, while Marcus is studying engineering at UQ. Together with Neville, Marcus has spent two years transforming a neglected 1995 E36 BMW into a race car. The BMW was originally intended to be Travis’ first car, but when Travis

became a four-wheel-drive “nut”, Marcus saw another possibility. “We were going to keep it as is, but when we went to try to start it, the motor seized, so Nev came up with the bright idea of putting a P76 motor into it because we just had them lying around, and it would make decent power for fairly cheap,” Marcus explains. The project is almost finished, and Nev and Marcus plan to race the car. For Marcus, the attraction is less about owning a fast car than understanding how to make one work. “I think the whole set-up of cars is the most interesting thing about them,” he says. “Having gone through uni, you see all the theory about how it all works and so actually applying it to a car is what’s interesting.” To find out more about the Just 8s Car Club Sunshine Coast, visit its Facebook page. For another dose of retro motoring, Rick’s Garage in Palmwoods is a popular haunt for classic-car enthusiasts and regularly attracts an impressive line-up of vintage and custom cars.

SHINING A LIGHT ON BUSINESS EXCELLENCE Awards celebrate the “strength and constant renewal” of the region’s business community, with 133 finalists selected.

he Sunshine Coast’s business community is celebrating after 133 businesses were named finalists in the 2026 Sunshine Coast Business Awards, with the contenders selected from 247 entries across 19 categories. The strong field highlights the depth

and diversity of the region’s business community, with this year’s finalists now vying for top honours at the Sunshine Coast Business Awards Gala Dinner to be held in November. Sunshine Coast Business Awards chair Jennifer Swaine congratulated all 133 finalists on reaching this stage of the

program. “Reaching this stage is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the hard work, resilience and ambition behind each business,” she says. “One of the things we love most about the awards is seeing so many new businesses come through the program each year. “It’s a real sign of the strength and constant renewal of the Sunshine Coast business community.” This year’s program also introduced a new category, the Corporate Community Champion Award, which recognises for-profit businesses that demonstrate a genuine and strategic commitment to supporting the community through structured and sustained initiatives. “These are businesses that are embedding community contribution into their operations and culture and playing a vital role in strengthening the social fabric of the Sunshine Coast,” Jennifer says. Sunshine Coast Business Awards judging chair Wallis Westbrook says the process remains rigorous, with written submissions and interviews with a panel of volunteer judges who donate hundreds of hours to assess entries across all categories. “With 247 entries this year, our judging panel faced an incredibly difficult task narrowing the field down to finalists,” he says. “The standard across every category was exceptional, and it’s a

“These are businesses that are embedding community contribution into their operations” real credit to our volunteer judges, who gave up so much of their time to assess each entry so thoroughly.” Export, Sustainability and Business of the Year, along with Corporate Community Champion winners will be selected from category winners. In addition, Advanced Aquarium Technologies, Sunny Rays Catering, Laguna Pest Control and Alex Surf Club will also be inducted into the event’s Hall of Fame. Finalists will now progress to the next stage of judging, presenting in person to the judging panel ahead of the November 28 gala to be held at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre. Popular actor and comedian Shane Jacobson will return as master of ceremonies for another year, as the region prepares for what promises to be a celebration of business excellence.

ARTIST’S ALBUM SHARES LOVE IN ALL ITS FORMS Sunshine Coast songbird and five-time ARIA Award-winning artist Katie Noonan is bringing her landmark 30th studio album, Alone but all one, to a special show in Noosa. The show will be at The J in Noosa on October 24, accompanied by the River Suite String Quartet. Released earlier this year, the number one ARIA Australian artist physical album,

Alone but all one, is an intimate and powerful exploration of love in all its stages and marks Katie’s first songwriting collaboration with her friend, acclaimed writer Trent Dalton. The album is both delicate and deeply affecting, featuring Katie’s exquisite vocals and piano accompanied only by the River Suite String Quartet. Recorded live in Katie’s lounge room in the hills behind Nambour, the album captures a sense of intimacy and immediacy. “In the spirit of shared experience, half the album I wrote solo and the other half I wrote with dear Trent’s words,” Katie says. “It honours the birth of love, while I reflect the reimagined love after divorce. “This album is for anyone who’s gone through a life shift – not just separation, but grief, uncertainty or quiet reinvention. It’s music for sitting with things. For remembering we’re not alone, even in solitude. It’s personal, but I hope it resonates in a way that becomes collective.” At the Noosa show, Katie will be joined by Mark Wilkinson, who has spent more than a decade carving out a unique place in the indie folk scene with his evocative songwriting and captivating live performances. For tickets and further information, visit katienoonan.com.au.

TOP TOURISM HONOURS Fourteen Sunshine Coast tourism operators have been named finalists for the 2026 Queensland Tourism Awards. This year’s finalist field showcases the breadth of Queensland’s visitor economy, spanning accommodation, attractions, festivals, tours, food and drink experiences, visitor services, major events and destination marketing from almost every corner of the state. The finalists have earned their place after an extensive judging program culminating in deliberations last week, with entrants required to reach a minimum scoring benchmark to progress. Queensland Tourism Industry Council CEO Natassia Wheeler says being named a finalist is an achievement worth celebrating. “To reach this stage, entrants have had to demonstrate a high standard through their submission and the judging process. Being named a finalist means they have earned their place among some of the best tourism businesses and experiences in the state.” The finalists will discover who has taken home the state’s highest tourism honours when the 2026 Queensland Tourism Awards Gala is held on November 6 at the Gold Coast, as part of Tourism Week. Sunshine Coast finalists: • Alsahwa Estate

Craig Davidson & Natassia Wheeler at last year’s gala • Bli Bli House Riverside Retreat • By Earth and Ocean • Eumundi Markets • Grand Overland 4x4 Tours • Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World • Maleny Cheese • Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat • Noosa Visitor Information Centre • Palms on Parker • RACV Noosa Resort • Rally Queensland 2026 • Saltwater Eco Tours • Sunshine Coast Convention Centre.

CELEBRATIONS IN BLOOM FOR CLUB MILESTONE Spring colour, creative flair and eight decades of gardening tradition will come together when the Buderim Garden Club marks its 80th anniversary with its annual Garden Festival later this month. Established in 1946, the club has spent eight decades bringing gardeners, artists and the wider community together and is the region’s longest-running garden festival. The milestone will be marked on October 17-18 with a weekend of celebration and creativity, including competitive flower, floral art and photographic shows; a quality plant market; five open gardens and a showcase of local sculpture and pottery. Buderim Garden Club president and festival coordinator John Lyon says the anniversary is an opportunity to recognise the club’s longstanding contribution to the community. “Eighty years is a wonderful milestone for the Buderim Garden Club,” he says. “Our festival brings together gardeners, artists, volunteers and visitors in a celebration of spring. “It showcases the remarkable gardens and creative talent of Buderim while continuing the club’s tradition of sharing knowledge, friendship and a love of gardening.”

Jenny Broderick, Division One

New pathways, park improvements and community upgrades The festival will be centred around Buderim War Memorial Hall. Five private Buderim gardens will also open to visitors from 9am to 4pm on both days, showcasing different garden styles and planting approaches. A free small-bus service will operate from the hall on Saturday. Next door, the Craft Cottage will host The Sculptured Garden featuring work by local artists, potters and sculptors, while St Mark’s Church will present a floral display. The celebrations will wrap up on Sunday with a presentation of trophies at 12.30pm, followed by a monster raffle draw before the festival closes at 2pm. A $20 festival ticket provides access to the open gardens, spring flower show, floral art displays, garden photography exhibition and plant market.

It’s wonderful to see more improvements taking shape across the division, making it easier for residents to get out and enjoy our beautiful communities. New pathways have recently been completed along Greber Road, Beerwah (200 metres) and Storrs Road, Peachester (400 metres), and others, providing safer connections for pedestrians and improving access to nearby amenities. We are working toward connecting those essential ‘missing links’ that join our communities to the services they need. Our local parks have also received some welcome upgrades. At Jubilee Park, Beerwah, the picnic setting near the playground has been renewed, while softscape planting and a new shade sail have been added at Emma Place Park, creating more comfortable spaces for

families to relax and play. Another exciting project progressing well is the new entrance feature at Beerwah Cemetery. I recently visited the site to see the works underway and look forward to sharing updates. When complete, the project will deliver a welcoming entrance with landscaping, seating, public art, signage improvements and enhanced accessibility. Importantly, Beerwah Cemetery remains open throughout construction. This project is funded by the Queensland government through the South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council.

Free guide to help build flood resilience Living in Division 1 means enjoying our beautiful waterways and natural environment. It also means being prepared for flood and storm events. Council has released a free Flooding and Coastal Resilience Design Guide to help homeowners, renovators and building professionals make informed decisions about designing and improving homes in flood-prone areas. The guide includes practical advice to help reduce damage, recovery time and long-term costs following severe weather events. To download a free copy, search ‘flood resilience’ on council’s website.

MY OPINION

TROUBLESOME TECHNOLOGY

A SEASON OF CHANGE

Ashley Robinson’s recent encounter with a ‘criminal’ brings a whole new meaning to the concept of neighbourhood watch.

Being a parent brings all sorts of moments. As Sami Muirhead continues to discover, there’s beauty, bliss and meaningful milestones among the chaos.

e had a bit of excitement in the burbs last weekend. I was having a nap when I was woken by a message from my neighbour. They thought their house had been burgled, and as they were overseas, they asked if I could check it out. I carefully selected a weapon – an alloy pole that would hurt, but not cause too much damage to me or the perpetrator. By the time I arrived, the neighbour’s dad and another neighbour were already there, but there was no burglar and no sign of a break-in. Technology is a wonderful thing – even if it is beyond me. I learned their security system had alerted them and let them speak to the intruder, who apparently legged it. Shortly afterwards, I received a photo and video of what had happened, so I drove around looking for the bloke, with no idea what I would do if I found him. No luck. So, I decided to go around the street and chat with the other residents, showing them the footage. “He looks dodgy. He’s probably breaking into other people’s homes as we speak.” I was on a roll. After looking at the photo a few more

times, I had the strange feeling I may have known this dodgy-looking bloke and wondered if it could be a young man from the next street back. I messaged his dad. He came straight back to me with a yes. He said he would find out more. Now here is the thing: I have had this young man work for me, I have patrolled with him and his family at the surf club. I just hadn’t recognised him initially. Instead, I thought he had committed the crime of the century, and as a result, had spent half my afternoon trying to solve that crime. It turned out the so-called burglar had kicked a ball over the fence. When he went to retrieve it, the alarm sounded and a voice over the speaker challenged him. He panicked, decided the ball could fend for itself and bolted. After an exhausting afternoon, I sat down with a cup of tea and marvelled at how people on the other side of the world could watch and even speak to someone at their home. I then had my second epiphany of the day – if they had seen that, chances are they had also witnessed the times I had pulled up in their driveway to wash the bat poo off my car with their hose. Oops.

Ashley Robinson is Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Club CEO, chairman of Thunder Netball and a lifetime Sunshine Coast resident.

“T

hings can change in a day. A day can change in a season. A season can change a life.” This quote by the author of The God of Small Things sums up my state of mind. Spring has sprung and I am obsessed with my flowering ‘yesterday, today, tomorrow’ plant. It’s royal purple. White and lavender petals burst with colour (and sweet perfume) and I adore the symbolism of each colour representing a stage of life. There is much change in my life at the moment. The end of primary school for my youngest, Augie, is nearing. I remember weeping as I said goodbye to my eldest child, Avalon, 11 years ago on the first day of prep, and it turned out to be the start of an era I have cherished. It has also passed in the blink of an eye, and now, all three kids are nearly done with primary school. I love hearing about their days, filled with library, art and playtime. I am bewitched as they chatter away with simple stories full of innocence and enthusiasm. I love the last day of each term as we head to get a slushie to start

the holidays. I love the beautiful teachers who care for our second heartbeats with such warmth. I love the days mums are invited to the classroom to have a ‘pedicure’. I love the parents I am great friends with, as we witness our children growing up before our eyes. It makes me acutely aware I cannot freeze time and keep my babies close to me forever. It has been a sheer delight. The end will sting my heart. In other change, my daughter is nearly 16 and will begin to drive soon. My husband has a new job. My mum is 85, and we are desperate for her to move closer to us as quality time ticks away. Our house is undergoing a massive renovation. It truly is the season of change, but is it for better or worse? I remind myself I am blessed, however, to have laugh lines around my face and a heart and head full of glorious memories. Yesterday and today have been largely bliss. There has been sadness, of course, but it has made the wins even sweeter. Here’s to tomorrow and may it bring more happiness to us all.

MY OPINION

THE DAY GRATITUDE SAT BESIDE ME

Member Spotlight Rob Crick

A bus ride, noisy lorikeets and the price of avocados get Garry Reynolds thinking about just how good we actually have it.

t happened on an ordinary Tuesday, the kind that usually sneaks past without even bothering to wave. The kettle had just finished its morning tantrum, the magpies were rehearsing whatever opera they were planning to debut, and the sky was doing that soft blue thing it does when it’s feeling generous. That’s when gratitude plonked itself down beside me. No choir of angels. Just appeared like a quiet companion who’d been patiently waiting for me to stop rushing around. I’d been mentally listing all the things I didn’t have, the usual human hobby. But gratitude gave me a nudge, the kind a friend gives when you’re out socialising and they’re trying to tell you there’s spinach between your teeth. Suddenly the world tilted a few degrees. Hey… there’s food in the fridge. The roof doesn’t leak. The bed doesn’t argue with my spine. That alone put me ahead of most of the planet. A humbling thought, especially considering I’d spent half the morning muttering about the price of avocados. As I set off for the 622 bus to Coolum Beach, it struck me: this freedom to wander without permits, to choose where my feet

go, that’s a luxury many will never know. Meanwhile, we complain if the cafe runs out of almond milk or if beach parking requires manoeuvring usually reserved for an aircraft carrier docking. Gratitude nudged again. My joints clicked, but they clicked in a way that meant they were still working. Millions wouldn’t survive the week. And here I was, upright, breathing, thinking, reading, noticing the lorikeets having a marital dispute in the gum tree overhead. I offered them unsolicited advice that gratitude isn’t the result of a good relationship; it’s the cause. Another line drifted through my mind: gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. Another followed: this is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen it before. Both sounded like fridge-magnet wisdom, but they were true. On my walk along the beach promenade, the breeze carried the unofficial perfume of the Coast, sea spray mixed with sunscreen. And suddenly the ordinary felt extraordinary. Gratitude didn’t fix anything. It simply shifted the lens. It whispered, Look again. So I did, and realised we’re not just living comfortably here. We’re living in the heart of most of the world’s dream.

Retiree Garry Reynolds shares his thoughts on the world around us.

QUEENSLAND TIMBER FLOORING (QTF)

Where do you live? Buderim. It is a wonderful place to call home, with its leafy surrounds, village feel and easy access to the beach and the hinterland. Tell us about your family? I’m married to Monica and we have three adult children and one granddaughter. Family is a very important part of my life. Becoming a grandfather has been especially rewarding. Favourite location on the Sunshine Coast? The hinterland around Maleny. I love the scenery, fresh air and sense of peace and quiet. It is the perfect place to slow down, enjoy the views and appreciate how special our region is. Which local person inspires you? My mum. She turned 90 last month and is still going strong. Her resilience, positive outlook and ability to keep enjoying life are a constant inspiration to me. My sister Jenny and brother Garry are also a big influence on me. Favourite local business? There are so many excellent local businesses that it is difficult to choose just one. I particularly admire businesses that provide great service, support local people and contribute positively to the Coast community. Best thing about living on the Coast? The combination of beautiful beaches, spectacular hinterland and a relaxed lifestyle. We have the convenience and opportunity of a growing region while still enjoying a strong sense of community and an enviable outdoor lifestyle.

How long have you been a Chamber member? Three years. What’s the best thing about being a Chamber member? The opportunity to connect with other local businesses. Coffee + Connect, After Hours and Breakfast events make it easy to build genuine relationships, share ideas and learn from people facing similar opportunities and challenges. Favourite ChamberCast with the President and Pep? I’m not a regular podcast listener, but the episode with Sally Desch. I enjoyed hearing about her journey building a successful Coast business and her focus on relationships, people and community. The conversation was relaxed and entertaining, while also offering useful insights into leadership, changing workplaces and doing business locally. These are topics I can relate to through my role at QTF. Favourite Chamber event? The Big Kart Track race night. It was friendly, competitive and a lot of fun, with a great atmosphere for getting to know other members away from the usual business setting. How can the Coast be improved? Continued investment in roads, transport and essential infrastructure. Good planning will be critical as the population grows, helping the region remain liveable while supporting residents, visitors and local businesses.

YOUR HEALTH

EYELID LESIONS: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

WHAT EXACTLY MAKES A GOOD SKIN CHECK?

Our eyelids are often overlooked when it comes to skin health, yet they are one of the most sun-exposed areas of the body. Eyelid lesions are common and can range from harmless growths to skin cancers that require treatment. Papillomas are common benign (non-cancerous) growths that can appear on the eyelid. They are often skincoloured and may look like a small lump or have a slightly raised or a ‘tag-like’ appearance. These can be observed for changes or removed if causing irritation or for cosmetic reasons. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer affecting the eyelid. It typically grows slowly and is unlikely to spread to other parts of the body, but it can cause significant local damage if left untreated. It may appear as a pearly lump, a persistent sore or a lesion that repeatedly crusts or bleeds. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is less common but can be more aggressive. It may present as a scaly, thickened or crusted area, or a sore that does not heal. The good news is that early assessment and treatment can make a significant difference.

Having a skin check is one thing. Having a thorough skin check is another. So, what should you expect? A good skin check starts with understanding your individual risk. Your doctor will ask about previous skin cancers, sun exposure, family history and any spots you have noticed changing or causing concern. Next comes a systematic examination of your skin from scalp to toes – not simply a look at the spots you are worried about. You keep your underwear on and a drape is available, with examination beneath these areas only when appropriate and with your consent. The dermatoscope is an important part of the examination. This handheld device uses magnification and specialised light to show structures and patterns within a spot that cannot be seen with the naked eye. In experienced hands, these additional clues can help distinguish suspicious lesions from harmless ones and identify skin cancers at an earlier stage. For people at higher risk of melanoma, digital Total Body Photography may also be useful. It creates a detailed photographic record of the skin so that

Sun protection is one of the most important ways to reduce your risk – wear sunglasses that provide UV protection, a broad-brimmed hat and sunscreen around the eyes where appropriate. If you notice a new eyelid lesion, a change in an existing lesion, persistent crusting or bleeding, or simply have concerns, don’t ignore it. For a professional opinion, book an appointment with Dr Michael Karpa or Dr Eline Whist at Best Practice Eyecare. Early assessment provides peace of mind and, when necessary, allows treatment to begin promptly.

Pain isn’t a normal part of ageing

new or changing spots can be identified over time. Importantly, photography complements a thorough skin examination – it doesn’t replace one. But technology is only part of a good skin check. Training and experience also matter. Skin cancers don’t always look obvious; additional training and regular clinical experience help identify subtle cancers earlier. All doctors at SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre are accredited skin cancer doctors with the Skin Cancer College of Australasia, reflecting additional training and assessment in skin cancer medicine.

HOW TREATMENT CHANGED THIS MAN’S LIFE FOR THE BETTER

WHY HUMANS HAVE ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH HEARING

Imagine being in so much pain that you’d lie on cold concrete just for five minutes of relief. That was Shayne’s daily reality. A hardworking plasterer, Shayne was trapped in a cycle of crippling back and sciatic pain for years. He walked “like a duck,” couldn’t work properly, and faced the very real possibility of surgery. Even his doctor had run out of options. But everything changed the day he walked into Cluzie Clinic, he says. “I walked in bent over, barely functioning. I walked out straight. It was like a miracle. My pain instantly halved after the first session,” Shayne says. Just weeks earlier, he’d spent three weeks stuck on the couch. He was emotionally shattered, seriously considering giving up his trade. Now Shayne is back doing the things he loves. He’s laughing again. He’s back training in ninjitsu. And his wife, after witnessing the transformation, is now a client at Cluzie too – experiencing her own health turnaround. Cluzie Clinic’s clinical director, Claire Dunkley, sums it up perfectly: “Before you book in for surgery, come and see us. We may be able to help you avoid it altogether.” If you’re facing surgery or just tired of hurting every day, take that first step.

Hearing loss is often thought of as a modern problem, but humans have likely struggled with hearing difficulties since the earliest days of our species. Long before factories, power tools and headphones existed, people were exposed to injury, illness, infections, ageing and natural wear and tear. The human hearing system is a remarkable piece of biological engineering. Sound travels through the ear canal, vibrates the eardrum, passes through three tiny bones in the middle ear and finally reaches the cochlea, a small spiralshaped organ deep inside the inner ear. Here, around 15,000 delicate sensory cells convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as speech, music and environmental sounds. The challenge is that these microscopic sensory cells are extremely fragile. They can be damaged by ageing, excessive noise, disease, some medications, head trauma and poor circulation. Unfortunately, the sensory hair cells of the inner ear do not regenerate once they are destroyed. This is why hearing loss is so common and why prevention is so important. While modern hearing technology can compensate for lost hearing, it cannot restore the original sensory cells that have been lost. From our earliest ancestors to today’s digital age, hearing loss has been part of the human experience. The technology has changed dramatically, but protecting the hearing we have remains as important as ever.

WHY LESS IS MORE IN KNEE REPLACEMENT RECOVERY After knee replacement surgery, many patients feel motivated to ‘push hard’ in order to recover quickly. It is a common belief that more exercises, more physiotherapy and more effort will lead to faster results. This is particularly true for patients with an athletic background. The athletic mindset is often ‘no pain, no gain’. The reality is very different. In recent years, there has been a significant shift in how we approach rehabilitation. We now understand that recovery is often quicker, more comfortable and associated with better long-term outcomes when patients follow a measured, structured postoperative routine. This approach is best guided by experienced physiotherapists who work closely with the surgical team. I begin educating my patients well before surgery – and frequently remind them throughout recovery – that this is not a race. The body needs time to heal. The most important early goal after knee replacement is swelling control. In the first few weeks, excessive swelling can inhibit muscle activation, restrict movement and increase discomfort.

INDUSTRY EXPERTS

When patients overdo activity too soon, the knee often responds by becoming tighter and more painful, ultimately slowing progress. A structured pathway prioritises quality over quantity: short, regular walks; gentle range-of-motion work; restoring full extension; activating the quadriceps; and allowing adequate rest between activity. The aim in the first six weeks is steady, sustainable progress – not perfection. Less is not about doing nothing. It is about respecting the biology of healing and allowing the knee to recover properly. WORDS: A.Prof Daevyd Rodda, Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group. Visit scorthogroup.com.au daevydrodda.com.au

Headaches? Your neck could be playing a role

AI and the new beauty ideal

Headaches can be more than just a nuisance – they can affect your work, sleep, exercise and quality of life. For some people, the source of their headache may be linked to the neck, muscles and joints. This is where physiotherapy can help. A physiotherapist can assess your neck and upper back movement, muscle tension, posture and strength to identify factors that may be contributing to your headaches. Treatment may include hands-on therapy to improve joint and soft-tissue movement, combined with targeted exercises to build strength, mobility and control. But physiotherapy isn’t just about treating the symptoms. Your physio can help you understand your headache triggers and provide practical strategies around posture, movement, workplace setup, sleep and exercise. The goal is to give you the tools to manage your headaches, move with confidence and get back to doing the things you enjoy. If headaches are frequent, persistent or changing, it’s a good idea to speak with your healthcare professional for an appropriate assessment.

With expert clinical care, personalised support, and convenient access to treatment, we’re here to help you take the next step towards feeling more like yourself again. • Deficiency States • Bone Conditions • Autoimmune Conditions

Artificial intelligence is beginning to influence more than how we edit our appearance – it’s changing what we think a beautiful face should look like. Enter ‘slop face’, the increasingly homogenised aesthetic emerging across Hollywood, social media and AIgenerated imagery. Smooth skin, high cheekbones, full lips, refined noses and almost impossible symmetry create a face that looks polished, familiar and eerily similar to everyone else’s. The catch? AI doesn’t have to follow the rules of human anatomy. Patients can now use AI to create a version of themselves with the features they want and ask a surgeon to recreate it. But an algorithm can alter pixels in seconds. A surgeon has to work with bone, cartilage, skin, soft tissue and, ultimately, a face that has to heal. An AI-generated ‘perfect’ face may simply not be achievable on a real person. There is also a bigger question: if AI keeps showing us the same version of beauty, are we gradually losing sight of what makes an individual face distinctive? Digital imaging can be a useful way for patients to communicate what they like, but it should never replace an understanding of what is anatomically realistic. AI can generate almost any face we can imagine. The challenge is making sure we don’t start believing that every real face needs to look like an AI-generated one.

The hidden effects of lymphoedema

The lifetime costs of glasses

Minimally invasive rotator cuff surgery

‘Hip bursitis’ can be misleading

When most people hear the word lymphoedema, they picture a swollen arm or leg. But lymphoedema can occur in one of the most complex and intimate areas of the body: the head and neck. It can develop after cancer surgery or radiotherapy, when delicate lymphatic pathways are disrupted. The result may be subtle at first, a fuller face, swelling beneath the chin, tightness around the neck or changes in the texture of the skin. For others, the effects are far more profound, extending into the mouth and throat and affecting swallowing, speech, breathing or vision. What makes head and neck lymphoedema particularly challenging is that much of the problem may be invisible. A person can look relatively well while experiencing considerable heaviness, tightness, discomfort or functional difficulty. Management is therefore about much more than simply “moving fluid”. Skilled lymphatic therapy, carefully selected compression, scar and tissue management, exercise, breathing techniques and education can all play a role. Equally important is recognising the person – their confidence, communication, sleep, eating, social interactions and sense of self. Head and neck lymphoedema reminds us that the lymphatic system is not merely a drainage system. When it is disrupted, the consequences can reach far beyond what we see in the mirror.

For many people, glasses are a normal part of life. But have you ever considered how much you will spend on them over a lifetime? Frames, prescription lenses, sunglasses, replacements and changing prescriptions all add up. Spread those costs across 20, 30 or 40 years, and vision correction becomes an ongoing expense. Laser eye surgery takes a different approach. Procedures such as LASIK, SMILE and PRESBYOND reshape the cornea to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism, potentially reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses. In Australia, laser eye surgery commonly costs several thousand dollars per eye, with the final cost depending on the procedure and individual requirements. Unlike glasses, this is predominantly an upfront expense. Cost, though, is only part of the decision. For many patients, the attraction is waking up and seeing clearly, being able to exercise without glasses, travelling without contact lenses, or simply removing an everyday inconvenience. Laser eye surgery does not suit every eye, and our vision continues to change with age. A comprehensive assessment is therefore essential. If you have worn glasses for years, it may be worth asking: what will your vision correction cost over your lifetime?

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat tears in the rotator cuff, which is a group of tendons and muscles that surround the shoulder joint. This procedure is performed using an arthroscope: a small camera that allows the surgeon to view and repair the damaged tissue through small incisions in the shoulder. During the surgery, the torn edges of the rotator cuff are prepared and then reattached to the bone using sutures or anchors. Arthroscopic techniques offer several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery times and a reduced risk of complications. After arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, patients typically undergo a structured rehabilitation program to gradually strengthen the shoulder and improve range of motion. Full recovery can take several months, but many patients experience significant improvement in pain and function following the procedure. Overall, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive, safe and effective option for treating rotator cuff tears, helping patients regain shoulder strength and mobility.

Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS), often incorrectly called ‘hip bursitis’, is a common condition characterised by pain and tenderness on the outer part of the hip. The term ‘hip bursitis’ can be misleading and may lead to incorrect treatment, as GTPS primarily involves the tendons and muscles around the greater trochanter, rather than the bursae alone. GTPS commonly affects middle-aged women and those engaged in repetitive activities such as running or prolonged walking. Symptoms include pain when lying on the affected side, standing, walking or climbing stairs, with discomfort often radiating down the outer thigh but typically not extending below the knee. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, based on symptoms and physical examination, although imaging may be used to rule out other hip conditions. Treatment typically includes rest, activity modification, physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications. Platelet-rich plasma injections may also be recommended in some cases to promote tendon healing. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management, emphasising the importance of distinguishing GTPS from other hip conditions like bursitis.

Wednesday’s Mars/Uranus link could bring an exciting surprise involving connections in your local community. Then the weekend new moon revs up your relationship zone, so you’ll experience great satisfaction if you share your goals and dreams.

Venus (your ruler) is now reversing through your relationship zone, boosting your temperamental tendencies. You could end up alienating someone, but hopefully you won’t put too many noses out of joint. Clear communication will help smooth over any bumps.

This week your creativity and peer group zones are activated by the new moon, so it’s a wonderful time to create, inspire and socialise. A stimulating new friendship may be just around the corner! Are you looking for love? You could be introduced to your future partner.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

With Venus now retrograde, family and friends won’t behave in predictable ways, so don’t try to anticipate what they will do next. Avoid being bossy and offering advice. Close friends and relatives need to make their own mistakes and follow their own dreams.

Venus (planet of love and relationships) is reversing through your family zone. So, expect relatives to annoy you, as they make odd decisions and stir your emotions. Don’t try to work out where they are coming from! Aim to be understanding.

Retrograde Venus could stir up trouble at work or within your neighbourhood. A double dose of diplomacy is required to keep the peace. The focus is on long-term relationships: how to nurture them, keep them … and then let them go if you have outgrown each other.

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

With Venus (your ruling planet) now in retrograde mode, the next six weeks is not the best time to start a romance or take the next step. Be patient and wait until after November 14. Expect to be more introverted and your social life will be quieter than usual.

Venus (planet of love, money and relationships) is now reversing through your sign. So, expect a tricky time when you may feel as if an area of your life is stalling. Weigh up the pros and cons of any choices, then delay important decisions until after November 14.

With Venus in retrograde mode for six weeks, you may feel restless, stressed or just out-of-sorts. Sociable Venus is reversing through your solitude zone, so you’ll feel like being on your own. Privacy and selfreflection are paramount!

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

It’s full steam ahead at work, as the new moon activates your career zone. However, when it comes to social connections, things are moving much slower, courtesy of Venus being retrograde. And that’s OK! A clever Capricorn will adjust their energy to the required pace.

Adventurous Aquarius: are you feeling restless and rather impetuous? The new moon activates your travel zone, so you may feel impatient for more personal freedom. The future beckons, and you’re in a mad hurry to get there.

With pleasure-planet Venus reversing through your foreign travel zone, you may have a compelling desire to return to places you havebeen in the past. Start planning your itinerary now, Pisces – for a trip sometime in 2027.

PRESTIGE PROPERTY

GRAND-SCALE LIVING IN A PRIVATE, LAKEFRONT ISLAND ENCLAVE

rare combination of island seclusion, acreage-sized land and absolute lakefront living has come to market at 6 Entrance Island, Bokarina. Built six years ago by Nick Hayes Constructions, this striking fivebedroom, six-bathroom home spreads across two generous levels. Michael Stack and Naseya Sparrow of Stack & Co Property Consultants ask a simple question: where else on the Coast could a buyer find a property positioned in a small, exclusive enclave, set on a half-acre block with absolute waterfrontage? “There are only 17 properties in the estate,” Michael says. “And this is one of just seven that face directly east, with a northeast aspect.” The 2203sqm block offers the space and freedom

36 My Weekly Preview | October 1, 2026

you’d normally associate with acreage living, with the bonus of around 30 metres of private Lake Kawana frontage. Naseya says the lake becomes a true extension of the house, with its calm waters made for kayaking, paddleboarding or simply sitting back and soaking up the outlook as the sun comes up over the water. At around 752sqm, the residence has been designed with flexibility in mind, making it ideal for multigenerational living, extended family or regular visitors. “Adult children or ageing parents could live here very comfortably because there’s such great separation between the living areas,” Naseya says. “Downstairs there’s a substantial master suite with its own patio and views straight out to the lake. myweeklypreview.com.au

At a glance “Upstairs, there’s a second master with an ensuite and veranda, plus the guest rooms, which each have their own bathroom.” A media room, office, formal and informal dining, and expansive outdoor entertaining areas add further versatility for families who like to spread out, while a 60,000-litre-plus magnesium pool sets a resort-style scene. For all its private island feel, the property is a short stroll from Bokarina Beach, cafes and coastal amenities, with the Sunshine Coast University Hospital precinct, shopping and other infrastructure close by. Michael says it’s a blend of lifestyle and convenience that’s hard to find anywhere else in the region. “You can find comparable half-acre properties on the Coast in areas such as Palmview Forest, but they myweeklypreview.com.au

don’t offer the same mix of lake frontage, outlook and direct beach access that’s 800 metres away,” he says. “For buyers weighing up $5 million or $6 million on a two- or three-bedroom waterfront apartment, this is a genuine alternative: a freehold home on a much larger scale, with room, privacy and waterfront living at a price comparable to some high-end penthouses.” Since the vendor is downsizing and has already secured their next property, time is of the essence. Picture spending Christmas here this year. Send the invitations out now, because there’s room for the whole family to stay, and tell everyone to pack a tennis racquet. Michael and Naseya say homes of this scale, in this location, with this kind of lifestyle, rarely come along, making this a never-to-be-repeated opportunity for buyers ready to act.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

A few years ago, while paddling with whales, we came across a big commotion of splashing in the ocean. Originally, we thought it was a dead whale being eaten by sharks, but as it turned out it was a pod of dolphins helping the mother give birth. A few got under the mother to keep her breathing while the baby came out. Then the baby was brought to the surface by multiple dolphins for its first breath right in front of us. As the baby dolphin got it breath, it just took off like a crazy puppy. It all happened within a few metres of our stand-ups just beyond the nets. A true reminder of the beauty of the ocean.
