From the editor Life has a way of reminding us just how precious the everyday moments can be, often when we least expect it. Our cover story this week is a powerful reminder of that. Journalist Abbey Cannan shares the story of Sunshine Coast hairdresser and counsellor Michaela Grace, 32, whose world was turned upside down by a devastating cancer diagnosis. Faced with news no one should ever have to hear, Michaela’s response is nothing short of extraordinary. Her desire to spend her time watching sunrises, walking along the beach, drinking coffee and making memories with the people she loves is a beautiful reminder that happiness is often found in the simplest things. None of us knows what is around the corner, and her courage encourages us to make time for the people we love and never take those ordinary, beautiful moments for granted. On a lighter note, we have plenty of inspiration to enjoy this week, too. Our local eats feature takes you on a delicious tour of some of the best places to eat and drink on the Coast. And with spring in full swing, our four pages of great buys from Manawee Gardens will help you get your garden ready for the season ahead. Ingrid Nelson inelson@myweeklypreview.com.au

AGENDA

GETTING THE MESSAGE Sunshine Coast researchers have found drivers are changing their speed when app alerts warn of police ahead, but the technology may be undermining long-term road safety.

rivers alerted to police presence by others using a popular global app appear to be learning how to avoid speeding penalties – but not how to stay safe on roads. An Australian-first study has found that more than 50 per cent of drivers were speeding prior to a police enforcement alert appearing on the crowdsourced GPS navigation and traffic app Waze – and this dropped to about 25 per cent after the alert. “Drivers weren’t slowing down because of the speed limit. They were slowing because their phone told them

there would be police ahead,” University of the Sunshine Coast Research Associate Dr Levi Anderson says. “In addition, the alerts usually appeared within a 14-minute window of UniSC researchers starting to take speed measurements, quickly warning drivers of what they understood to be police enforcement ahead.” Waze is a Google subsidiary with more than 150 million monthly active users worldwide. In Australia, a third of drivers reportedly use apps such as Waze to share observations of road and traffic conditions.

Dr Anderson says the effect was recorded across all 33 study sites in southeast Queensland, covering diverse speed zones and environments. UniSC researchers used a laser speed measurement device to record more than 9000 vehicle speeds in various environments, including arterial roads, residential streets, school zones, commercial or industrial areas and roadworks. “This effect also grew with speed, with the greatest speed changes recorded on highways, especially at roadworks,” he says. “In a 100km/h zone, for example, the proportion of speeding drivers fell from 64 per cent to 12 per cent after an enforcement alert was shared on the app. “The smallest reaction, however, occurred in active school zones where 38 per cent of drivers continued speeding above the 40km/h limit despite an app alert.” Overall, the average speed difference across all zones between vehicles travelling before and after the alert was about 5km/h. Dr Anderson’s paper Waze to beat the system was recently published in the Journal of Experimental Criminology. “Despite the mass adoption of platforms like Waze, this is the first research to use direct observation of laser-measured vehicle speeds to find out if crowdsourced alerts actually influence driver behaviour,” he says. “These results, along with other research, suggest that app alerts provide a short-term, localised benefit in reducing speeds and crash risks at particular sites for limited times, but are a long-term detriment to road safety as drivers become emboldened to speed if the app doesn’t warn them about police ahead.

“Drivers who did not slow may not have had the Waze app, or hoped their illegal speed was insufficient to trigger an infringement notice.” Dr Anderson, a member of the MAIC/ UniSC Road Safety Research Collaboration, says the practical implications of the study have already been shared with frontline police. “In this study, the laser device was being used by researchers – not police – but the findings can certainly help inform how police conduct speed enforcement,” he says. “This could include rapidly moving locations within that 14-minute time period between police setting up a checkpoint and an alert appearing on Waze. “If longer, static police operations have more chance of being advertised on an app, police may opt for shorter, geographically dispersed deployments.” Peter Flanders, a study contributor and UniSC adviser who was a Queensland Police officer for more than four decades, says speeding remains one of the most significant contributors to road trauma globally. “In Queensland, it is a contributing factor in approximately one-third of fatal crashes, making it a persistent priority for road safety stakeholders and enforcement,” he says. “Previous research has established that as vehicle speeds increase, both the likelihood and severity of crashes rise exponentially. The perceived probability of being caught exerts a stronger deterrent effect than the severity of the penalty. “The ‘halo effect’ is where speed reductions occur not only at the site of enforcement, but also in the surrounding areas and for a time after that enforcement site.”

NEWS

Sunshine Coast Health Immunology and Rheumatology staff specialist Dr David Gillis

DOCTORS WARN ABOUT ‘WORSE’ ALLERGY SEASON THIS SPRING Hay fever sufferers are being warned to brace for an intense pollen season following a wet and warm winter. In Australia, one in four people suffer from hay fever (allergic rhinitis), which is an allergic reaction that happens when the immune system responds to an allergen. Common seasonal allergens such as pollen and grass can trigger hay fever as well as year-round allergens including dust mites and animal fur. Sunshine Coast Health immunologist Dr David Gillis says he expects this year’s hay fever season will be worse than previous years. “When it is as wet as it has been and then it gets hot, the grass grows more and therefore produces more pollen,” Dr Gillis says. “This varies from state to state but in Queensland, we don’t have as marked a season as the southern states, but people do get worse in the spring.” Symptoms include an itchy, runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, sneezing and interrupted sleep. Dr Gillis says there are some simple changes people with hay fever can make to protect themselves against pollen. “In most instances, antihistamines and intranasal steroid sprays are very effective,” Dr Gillis says. “You can have house dust mite resistant pillows, mattresses and not having carpets on the floors helps as well.” Dr Gillis says another simple laundry swap can also provide relief. “If people are grass allergic, then I suggest they put their bed sheets in the dryer during periods of high pollen, which would be in windy periods from the west and the north,” Dr Gillis says. “If you put them on the line and the pollen sets and then you put them on your bed, it then becomes an indoor allergen.” Dr Gillis encourages people with allergies to consult their general practitioner if they’re struggling with symptoms. “We provide a consultative service for people who still suffer from hayfever even though their general practitioner has taken them through a number of steps,” Dr Gillis says. “In certain cases, we discuss desensitisation injections for people who don’t respond to other medications.” myweeklypreview.com.au

ADVERTISING SPECIAL FEATURE

Beachside Yaroomba Takes Shape

Beyond the coastal dunes at Yaroomba, a significant transformation is underway as Beachside Yaroomba moves from masterplan to reality, with major infrastructure works advancing and the first residential neighbourhood beginning to take shape. Major underground infrastructure across the development is now well advanced, with sewer and stormwater works largely complete and electrical works progressing. The next phase of construction will evolve relatively quickly and evidence of the emerging community will come to life. Road construction, retaining walls and fencing are preparing to commence, followed by landscaping that will begin to establish the character of Beachside Yaroomba. A viewing area is also planned beside the lake within Mabini, Beachside Yaroomba’s first residential precinct, allowing visitors to step inside Beachside Yaroomba and experience the development from a perspective that until now has largely been inaccessible to the public. Construction of Beachside Yaroomba’s private residents’ amenities, including a swimming pool, BBQ pavilion and pickleball court, is expected to follow in the coming months. Dennis Family Corporation Director Grant Dennis said the progress was bringing the original vision for the site increasingly into focus.

ARTIST IMPRESSION – RESIDENTS PAVILLION

“A great deal of the work undertaken so far has been infrastructure that people simply cannot see from outside the site,” Mr Dennis said.

home sales reaching up to $5.75 million. Furthermore, local house prices have strengthened, with the median sale price recording a 10.5% year-on-year increase between July 2024 and June 2026.

“The next stages will start to change that. “Roads, landscaping, the lake environment and community facilities will make it much easier to understand the place we are creating.” Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of Beachside Yaroomba is its location. Beachside Yaroomba occupies a truly rare position on the eastern side of David Low Way, where the landscape gives way to coastal dunes and, just beyond, the open sands of Yaroomba Beach. It is a setting that simply cannot be recreated. As the last masterplanned beachside community of its kind and size on the Sunshine Coast and across South East Queensland, Beachside Yaroomba represents an increasingly rare opportunity to create a new coastal home with the beach quite literally footsteps away. It is also why Beachside Yaroomba has been deliberately positioned as something other than a conventional residential estate. Rather than house-and-land packages, purchasers acquire a homesite and have the opportunity to create their own architecturally considered coastal home. The current release includes level homesites from 480 square metres. According to data from RealEstate.com.au, the Yaroomba property market continues to demonstrate the signiﬁcant premium buyers place on the location, highlighted by recent near-beach

For Beachside Yaroomba, the response to date provides its own measure of confidence. Of all land released to date within the first residential precinct, 85% has now sold. With major infrastructure well advanced and the next phase of construction about to become increasingly visible, the community is moving decisively from masterplan to reality. Mr Dennis said the progress represented an important milestone for Beachside Yaroomba. “Beachside Yaroomba has always been a long-term vision for a very special part of the Sunshine Coast,” he said. “What is particularly exciting now is seeing that vision becoming tangible. The infrastructure is progressing, our first residents are planning their homes and the elements that will define this community are beginning to come together.” As roads, landscaping, the lake precinct and residents’ amenities emerge over the coming months, what has largely remained beyond public view will become increasingly apparent.

COVER STORY

MAKING EVERY MOMENT COUNT When given the heart-shattering news she was terminal, Michaela Grace, 32, turned to the people and things she loves. Now, she is seeking joy in life’s simple pleasures – sunrises, the beach, coffee and time with friends. WORDS: Abbey Cannan.

hat would you do if you were suddenly told you had just weeks left to live? Through laughs and tears, Sunshine Coast hairdresser and counsellor Michaela Grace, 32, is finding her own answer to that question. But to understand Michaela’s strength, you have to go back to the beginning of her story. Long before the devastating diagnosis that changed everything, there was a little girl who was determined to experience every moment life had to offer. At sunrise, when most children were still tucked into bed, Michaela was already awake and ready to take on the day. She would drag her grandparents outside, eager to fill every moment with dancing, swimming, gymnastics, singing, running or a trip to the beach. “I love experiencing life, so I was always just trying something new,” she tells My Weekly Preview.

14 My Weekly Preview | October 15, 2026

“My grandparents were like my best friends and they mostly raised me.” That love of adventure stayed with her. She has lived on two islands during her life and developed a deep love of the beach, something she still holds close today. From a young age, Michaela knew exactly what she wanted to do. She wanted to become a hairdresser. “When I was a kid, I would cut my doll’s hair. I had a baby brother, so I would cut his hair and then I’d be in trouble,” she says. “I think I was about eight years old when I told my grandma I was going to be a hairdresser. “She always did her hair and makeup. So, I would beg her to take me to the salon with her.” When she was 14, Michaela began a school-based apprenticeship. “I dismissed myself from school without asking my grandparents,” she says. “I came home and I was like, ‘Guess what? I got a job today’.

“I just want to fill my days with all those wholesome things. I’ve been really trying to do more of those” “They were furious because they paid school fees and everything. “Then they understood, and they were like, ‘Sure, this is what you want?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I really want to do this.’ “I qualified when I was 18.” She went on to build an extensive career in hairdressing, working in salons, managing teams and travelling internationally for competitions and education. She also developed her own wedding

hair and makeup business and explored the fitness world, including bodybuilding. “I’ve done a bit of everything.” But behind the creative work was another part of Michaela that would eventually become a career of its own. “I think I’ve always loved helping people my whole life,” she says. Last year, Michaela completed her Diploma of Counselling while working three jobs. In March, she started her own counselling practice. “Honestly, it was such a beautiful feeling,” she says. “It meant a lot.” Her years behind the salon chair had already taught her the value of making people feel heard. “It’s so funny now because when I tell people, ‘Oh yeah, I’m a hairdresser and a counsellor,’ they laugh. They think I’m making a joke,” she says. Then, in a matter of weeks, the life Michaela had spent 32 years building myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY

Michaela, right, with her friend and wedding business partner Shannon

changed in an instant. A small lump on Michaela’s nose became the first sign of a rare and aggressive form of sinus cancer that would change the course of her life. It’s called metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an estimated 259 combined cases of sinus and nasal cavity cancers were diagnosed in Australia last year. The news came as a shock, with Michaela collapsing in tears at Sunshine Coast University Hospital when doctors delivered the diagnosis. “My friend had to pick me up off the floor,” she says. “I just thought I had a broken nose, as that’s what the initial scans showed. It was peak wedding season, and I was super

myweeklypreview.com.au

busy, so I continued working and everything.” She underwent surgery and weeks of scans and biopsies before doctors discovered the cancer had spread to the front of her brain. Michaela was told there were no surgical or radiation options available, leaving chemotherapy as her only chance to extend her life. Her oncologist prepared her for the difficult reality of her diagnosis. “Look, you’re not going to beat this,” she recalls hearing. “If you don’t do the chemo, you have three to six weeks to live. “If you do the chemo, you’ll have three to six months.” The word chemotherapy carried a heavy meaning for Michaela, who, at 13 years of age, had watched her grandmother go through treatment and lose her battle. “I have to be honest, I have my own trauma with chemo,” she says. “I watched her go through chemo and all it did was make her sick. “I always said I would never do it.” Faced with a decision she never imagined making, Michaela looked beyond the medical facts and asked her doctor for a more personal perspective. She asked what advice he would give if she was someone close to him. “Yes queen, I’ll tell you to fight it,” Michaela recalls as his response. “It was who I needed in that moment,” she says. Before starting chemotherapy, Michaela asked for 48 hours to process the news, tell her grandparents, and prepare for the journey ahead. “I said, ‘Let’s just start it on Monday.’ At least I have the weekend to get my clothes together, buy things for the hospital, see my friends and get my nails done,” she laughed. After receiving the diagnosis, Michaela found a way to hold onto the humour and the close relationships that have always been so important to her. “My aunty doesn’t like eating Guzman

y Gomez (GYG), but I love it,” she says. “So, after I was given my diagnosis, I said to her, ‘Now that I’m dying, I want you to eat GYG with me’. And I forced her to eat a burrito in the car with me. It was the funniest thing.” In an unexpected twist, the counselling skills Michaela has recently developed have become a source of strength as she faces her own grief and uncertainty. “I’ve been able to know how to navigate emotion and hold space for others, so thank God I am qualified in that,” she says. But perhaps the biggest surprise has not been the diagnosis itself. It has been discovering just how deeply she has affected the people around her. Since her diagnosis, strangers, former colleagues, apprentices and friends have reached out. There have been flowers, gifts and meals. People she hadn’t spoken to for years have contacted her to tell her about the impact she had on their lives. One former apprentice told her she now had her own business and still referenced Michaela every day in her meetings. For someone who had simply been busy living her own life, the realisation was overwhelming. “All these people told me I had inspired them and I was like, wow, I’m just out here living my life. I didn’t realise,” she says. “I didn’t know that I was loved like that.” As the community rallied around Michaela, her friend Zoe Nation created a GoFundMe fundraiser that has raised more than $40,000 to help cover living and medical expenses, giving her more time to focus on creating memories with the people closest to her. For Michaela, what she wants now is surprisingly simple. “Honestly, just positivity and joy and the people I love the most,” she says. She doesn’t speak about a long bucket list of extravagant plans.

Instead, she talks about the small things that have always made her happy. “I love sunrises and I love the beach and I love coffee and I love movie nights with my friends,” she says. “So, I just want to fill my days with all those wholesome things. I’ve been really trying to do more of those.” For someone who built her career around hair and helping others feel confident, losing her own hair has been a significant part of her journey.

Dr Joe Coory

TECHNOLOGY AT THE CUTTING EDGE A pioneering surgeon is putting the Sunshine Coast at the forefront of robotic shoulder surgery with an Australian-first procedure.

Sunshine Coast surgeon has become the first in Australia to perform a reverse total shoulder replacement using the next generation of robotic-arm technology. Dr Joe Coory performed the procedure at Maroochy Private Hospital earlier this month, using Mako 4, the fourthgeneration robotic-arm system developed by medical technology company Stryker.

The milestone comes just 14 months after Dr Coory helped bring robotic shoulder surgery to the Sunshine Coast. Since performing his first robotic shoulder replacement in August 2025, he has completed more than 100 procedures. “It’s an honour, and humbling, to be chosen as the first in Australia,” Dr Coory says. “It’s recognition of the team we’ve built here on the Sunshine Coast and the work

we’ve put into the development of robotic shoulder surgery.” Mako uses three-dimensional CT imaging to create a surgical plan based on each patient’s anatomy. During surgery, the robotic arm provides real-time guidance as the bone is prepared, while the surgeon remains in complete control. The new Mako 4 system features a larger screen, a more mobile robotic arm, an upgraded camera with a higher refresh rate and quieter operation. “It’s a bit like going from an iPhone 16 to an iPhone 18 Pro Max,” Dr Coory says. “The planning is the same, and the surgeon still places the implant where it’s been planned, but the process of getting there is more elegant.” Mako 4 uses Stryker’s latest shoulder surgery software, with further capabilities expected over the next 12 to 18 months. Dr Coory is currently using the technology for reverse total shoulder replacement, with plans to expand its use to anatomic total shoulder replacement. Stryker also plans to roll out the shoulder surgery at other centres across Australia. For patients, the process does not change the usual hospital stay or rehabilitation process. Its primary benefit is providing the surgical team with more advanced technology to plan and execute the

procedure with precision based on each patient’s individual anatomy. The national milestone comes just months after Maroochy Private Hospital opened its doors in the heart of the Maroochydore City Centre. Fortius Hospitals CEO Warwick Crosby says the achievement reflects the hospital’s focus on bringing advanced surgical technology to the region. “Achieving a national first within months of opening highlights the calibre of our surgical team and the investment in a purpose-built healthcare facility focused on innovation and patient outcomes,” he says. The 10-storey hospital focuses on a select number of high-demand specialties, with Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group, of which Dr Coory is a director, delivering its orthopaedic services from the ninth floor. Dr Coory says having access to the latest robotic technology on the Sunshine Coast is significant for both patients and the region’s growing specialist healthcare sector. “It shows that major companies like Stryker are willing to invest in technological advancement on the Sunshine Coast,” he says. “Specialist healthcare on the Coast is entering a new era, and having this technology here first means our community is part of shaping what comes next.”

In Partnership with the Queensland Government

Have your say on changes to strengthen Queensland’s bail laws

Jack’s Law: Tackling knife crime on Queensland streets

n 2019, 17-year-old Jack Beasley was fatally stabbed during a night out. Since then, Jack’s parents Brett and Belinda Beasley have campaigned to prevent a similar tragedy affecting others. This advocacy resulted in Jack’s Law, giving police the ability to wand people in public places. Since the law became permanent, police have scanned almost 200,000 people and seized more than 1400 weapons. For more information, search ‘Jack’s Law’.

The Queensland Government is cracking down on re-offenders by introducing stronger bail laws. While victim numbers are down 9.6%*, more needs to be done to ensure safety is restored and the rights of victims prioritised. Under the next phase of Adult Crime, Adult Time e, which covers 47 offences, repeat offenders will face automatic jail if they commit a serious crime while on bail. To have your say on the proposed legislation, search ‘Breach Bail Go to Jail’.

More recruits join the ranks

*Compared to 2024 financial year, per capita, Queensland Police Service data.

More intervention and rehabilitation programs underway

reaking the cycle of crime is not just about strong laws – early intervention and rehabilitation programs are also needed to support at-risk youths. The Queensland Government is investing $560 million into programs including:

▶ R e g i o n a l R e s e t – p ro v i d i n g u p t o

12 months of support for at-risk youth delivered across Queensland ▶ Staying on Track - delivering 12-month

post-detention rehabilitation programs to reintegrate back into the community ▶ Crime Prevention Schools – Men of Business

Academy at Southport will operate the first new crime prevention school supporting at-risk youths, with further schools in Townsville, Rockhampton and Ipswich to come in 2027 ▶ Youth Justice Schools - two new schools

in Logan and Cairns, delivered by Ohana for Youth, providing a project-based curriculum to reduce reoffending. Aaron Devine, Chief Executive Officer of Ohana for Youth, said the Youth Justice Schools will help “empower young people to take responsibility by building accountability, resilience and capability.”

Daniel’s Law: Making Queensland children safer

or two decades, Bruce and Denise Morcombe have advocated stronger child protection laws to honour the legacy of their son Daniel. Since Daniel’s Law was introduced in December 2025, more than 400,000 visits have been recorded on Queensland’s first public child sex offender register. The register empowers parents and carers with access to information about convicted child sex offenders through a three-tier system, helping families make informed decisions about the safety of their children. For more information, search’ Daniel’s Law’.

longside new stations and being equipped with more modern resources, in the past two years more than 2100 police officers have joined the frontline to keep Queenslanders safe. Additionally, more than 2000 new corrections officers have been employed strengthening frontline staffing in correctional centres across the state. To join the frontline search ‘QPS careers’ or ‘QCS careers’.

An artist’s impression of the proposed clubhouse at The Sports Hub in Bokarina

AIRPORT ARRIVALS MADE EASIER WITH UPGRADE The Sunshine Coast Airport’s new arrivals precinct and baggage claim has opened. Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Chris Mills says the opening is an important step in the terminal transformation. “Passengers arriving on the Sunshine Coast will now collect their bags in a modern, purpose-built space almost three times the size of our former arrivals and baggage claim area,” he says. “The transformation features a 92-metre baggage carousel – almost double the size of the original, upgraded passenger amenity including new bathroom facilities, seating areas and a new efficient watercooling system for the entire terminal. “The longer carousel provides more room for passengers to comfortably collect their luggage, while allowing more bags to be delivered at any one time.”

LASTING LEGACY: FOOTY CODES PLAN NEW CLUBHOUSE Plans are progressing for a permanent clubhouse at a major Coast sporting precinct, as rugby league and rugby union clubs work towards building a sustainable future for their communities. The Sunshine Coast Falcons and Brothers Sunshine Coast had successful 2026 seasons, with both clubs crediting the facilities and support at The Sports Hub in Bokarina as key to their progress. The Falcons finished the season as minor premiers before falling to Redcliffe in the grand final, while Brothers Sunshine Coast claimed their first senior reserves grade premiership just four years after the club was formed. With both clubs continuing to grow, the next step is a planned permanent clubhouse at The Sports Hub to provide a long-term home for players, members and supporters. The Sports Hub chairman Ashley

Robinson says building a dedicated clubhouse is the final piece of the Sports Hub jigsaw, with the facility set to sit on vacant waterfront land between the sports training and recovery building and the 80-room accommodation facility. “Both the Falcons and Brothers credit their relationship with The Sports Hub as a genuine factor behind their outstanding results this year and the opportunity to build a permanent home base for both clubs is more important than ever, especially as we are currently in the 2032 Olympics window,” he says. “Nearly $150 million will be spent over the next few years to improve the existing Kawana sporting facilities prior to the Olympics including an upgrade to the stadium to take it to a 20,000-seat capacity. “This is our opportunity to tap into this momentum and create a lasting legacy for future generations.”

A HELPING HAND FOR NEPAL A fundraising event on the Sunshine Coast will bring together the community to support children and families affected by a devastating natural disaster. The Nepal Glacial Tragedy Relief Fund Gala Dinner will be held at Venue 114, Bokarina, on October 16, featuring a three-course Nepalese buffet, cultural performances and personal stories from people connected to the region. The cost is $100 per person, with funds raised supporting education and recovery initiatives for children and families whose lives have been disrupted by the disaster. University of the Sunshine Coast academic Dr Ratna Paudyal is helping lead the fundraiser, supported by the university, Sunshine Coast Council and the Rotary Club of Mooloolaba. Tickets are available at mrcmembers. org/bookings. Tax-deductible donations are accepted through the Rotary Australia World Community Service website.

Alexa Leary and Nat Cook with the Emblems piece on Wild Horse Mountain

SUNSHINE COAST SHINES IN BRISBANE 2032 OLYMPIC EMBLEM REVEAL The unveiling of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games emblem brings the excitement of the Games one step closer, marking a significant milestone for the Sunshine Coast as a proud co-host city.

IMAGE: BRISBANE 2032

NEWS Against the backdrop of the Glass House Mountains, Olympian Natalie Cook and local Paralympian Alexa Leary discovered a piece of the emblem high in the trees at Wild Horse Mountain, creating a uniquely Sunshine Coast moment on the journey towards the full emblem reveal. Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli says having a piece of the emblem discovered in the region fills her with enormous pride. “The Brisbane 2032 emblem belongs to all of us and its reveal is an incredibly exciting moment for the Sunshine Coast as a co-host city,” she says. “It is a cheeky, beautiful symbol that reflects the people of the Sunshine Coast and Queensland perfectly. It’s cute, friendly and colourful.” The emblem is the crest of a pink cockatoo, an inland Australian bird, with the colour stylised to resemble an Olympic and Paralympic flame. The Paralympic emblem will feature the more familiar yellow of the sulphurcrested cockatoo. Attention now turns to progressing key Games venue projects, including the Sunshine Coast Mountain Bike Centre and Sunshine Coast Stadium upgrade, which will deliver lasting infrastructure for the community.

ECO HERO HONOURED Sunshine Coast resident Spencer Hitchen, 15, has been named the recipient of the Shimon Schwarzschild Special Award as part of the 2026 International Young Eco-Hero Awards. The award is presented by Action For Nature, an international nonprofit that has spent more than two decades honouring young people for tangible solutions to environmental challenges. “When you look at the whole global picture, it can feel scary,” Spencer says. “But the key is to start local, caring about the environment right around you. “I use my photography and videos to remind adults that the choices they’re making now are going to shape my generation’s future.” Spencer founded Save Sunrise Glossies, a grassroots conservation campaign, in 2019, at age eight, to protect the vulnerable glossy black cockatoo and its wallum habitat near his home. At age 10, his petition to save the local wallum woodland gathered nearly 86,000 signatures. In November 2025, he became the youngest person to address a major Australian corporation’s annual general meeting on environmental accountability, and his advocacy has since reached federal parliament in Canberra, earning

Spencer Hitchen recognition from Australia’s federal environment minister and state environment ministers. Spencer channels his photography into advocacy through an annual nature calendar, launched in 2022, that gifted more than 1000 copies to children worldwide last year alone. He also founded Our Big Backyard, a global iNaturalist project that collects citizen-science observations of local wildlife, and established World Stand Up 4 Nature Day, held every September 9 to spotlight grassroots conservationists. That advocacy has also drawn the attention of filmmakers, with Spencer featured in the documentary Love Letter to the Unseen, directed by Emmy Awardwinning filmmaker Josh ‘Bones’ Murphy.

THE KEY TO A LONG LIFE? WORRY LESS AND SMILE MORE For Valmai Craig, the secret to a long and happy life is simple: enjoy every moment, cherish loved ones and keep smiling. As she prepares to celebrate her 100th birthday on October 17, the Buddina resident reflects on a century filled with family, change and countless memories. “I have lived life to the fullest. I eat, drink and enjoy all the things I love. I have lots of fun experiences but also rest well. I try to worry less, just be happy and smile as much as I can,” Valmai says. Born in 1926 and raised on a sugar cane farm, Valmai grew up in a large family with 10 siblings. She met her future husband Thomas at a local dance. After they married, the couple settled in Yandina, where they continued the sugar cane farming tradition and raised their two sons and two daughters. Valmai has witnessed extraordinary changes throughout her lifetime, including the Second World War, the Great Depression, the Vietnam War, the invention of television, the first moon landing, the rise of computers and the internet, the COVID-19 pandemic and the arrival of AI and smart technology. “I have seen so many changes, too numerous to mention, but what stands out

is how entirely different people behave,” she says. “I am lucky to have good people in my life, but the world seems to have gone crazy.” Throughout her almost 100 years, Valmai has dedicated herself to helping others with fundraising efforts. She also regularly won first prize at the Nambour Show for her famous chocolate cake. Today, Valmai’s proudest achievement is her family, which has grown to include 11 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren. “I would advise the younger generation to be kind and do the right thing, and to love their family and friends and keep them close,” she says. – WORDS: Abbey Cannan

There’s plenty happening across Division 3, and it’s great to see local projects and initiatives making a real difference to how we live, connect and enjoy our neighbourhoods.

More ways to enjoy our parks Our local parks continue to offer residents of all ages more reasons to get outdoors. The renewed flying fox at Woodlands Park, Meridan Plains, is now open, and Tuldar Park in Wurtulla has new fitness equipment ready to enjoy. At Michael Olm Park in Aroona, playground renewal works are underway, with play equipment, softfall and trees to come. The site is expected to reopen later this month, weather permitting. Together, these upgrades are creating welcoming spaces for recreation, exercise and family time.

Free flood resilience design guide Living near our beautiful beaches, waterways and creeks also means being

prepared for risks that come with floods and storms. Council’s free Flooding and Coastal Resilience Design Guide offers advice for designing and renovating homes to better withstand flooding and severe weather, helping reduce damage, recovery time and long-term costs. If you’re renovating, building or want to better understand your property’s flood risks, search ‘Flood resilience’ on council’s website.

Backing projects that bring us together It’s fantastic to see two Division 3 community groups receive support through council’s latest round of Minor Grants. Little Mountain Community Garden will build a new shade house, helping volunteers grow seedlings year-round and share their knowledge with others. The Oriana Choir also received funding to present Bach’s St Matthew Passion, bringing local musicians together for a special largescale performance. I love seeing local ideas become shared experiences, and these are two wonderful examples. Congratulations to both recipients, and I look forward to seeing their projects come to life.

MY OPINION

LEAVE THE TIME (AND COWS) ALONE

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE COMFY

Ashley Robinson has a bone to pick with anyone who supports daylight savings for Queensland and says it’s far too complicated to consider.

A simple question about the perfect chair sends Sami Muirhead down a rabbit hole of comfort, nostalgia and sibling rivalry.

nd here it is: my annual column about daylight saving time. On the first Sunday of October every year, the geniuses down south turn their clocks forward so they can catch an extra hour of sunshine. Well, I think that’s why they do it. And every year, leading up to that mathematical magic trick, there is debate about why we can’t join in, usually by southerners who have moved to the great state of Queensland. I usually explain to them that the extra hour fades the curtains and confuses the cows. But more importantly, it has a huge impact on the hospitality industry. People dine later, which means an extra hour on the wage bill for an industry nearly crippled by wage costs. Of course, the southerners rebuke my banana-bending logic. Normally, I don’t really care, but something changed last week when I turned on the telly to find a radio star discussing daylight savings for the southeast. Normally I would have dismissed it as another whining southerner, but this person is a third-generation Queenslander, so I was surprised, hoping I

had misheard. Just in case I did actually hear right, and given she is a true-blue Queenslander, I thought I should give her view some thought. I can see that she has considered our northern friends, given the heat up there and the risk to their curtains. But the idea of two time zones within our state does not appeal to me. While thinking about it, I learned just how vast the southeast is: it stretches from Moore Park to the Tweed River and almost as far west as Longreach. The problems are many as far as I’m concerned. Firstly, what message does it send to the rest of the state? In my view, the north already feels unloved. Imagine if we now decide to be an hour ahead – Bob Katter would have a deadset pink fit. The real concern for me would be for places like Monto where the cows sleep in, while just over the hill in Biloela, the cows will be up at normal time. Same as in Adavale, Longreach and many other western towns along the invisible line. It is way too complicated for me to get my head around. I am hoping I heard her wrong, as this is giving me a headache: ‘where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise’.

he most curious question I have been asked in many years was lobbed my way this week. My daughter wanted to know what the most comfortable chair I had ever sat on in my entire life was. An odd yet captivating conversation followed. I have thought about this question all week, and I can tell you, it’s been a rabbit hole. The joy of sitting in a really great chair is truly underrated in life. A true love when it comes to seats is my Mimi’s big recliner. It is padded with a crochet rug. I let out a physical groan of happiness when I flop back into it and kick up my legs in retreat. The chair, of course, comes with memories of the smell of beautiful food cooking on the stove and the feeling of being warm and safe. There is a bench at Pt Cartwright I often sit at and just stare at the beautiful river. I sat on this bench as I walked my dogs on the day my husband proposed to me and also on the day I laid my father to rest. My children have all sat on this same bench during the past 15 years as we rode,

scootered or toddled out towards the ocean to watch the massive waves and inhale the fresh salt air. Then there are the Gold Class seats at the movies. This is my favourite thing to do. It is hard to beat lying back on those huge chairs, while being served wine and choc-top ice creams during the movie. This is a celebration chair. All this chatter about such a simple thing also got us talking about the opposite. The seats we hate (like I said, rabbit hole). A cramped seat on a plane is about as bad as it gets. A dodgy public loo seat? No thanks. Remember those tiny wooden chairs we had in primary school? They were the pits. While these are bad, they pale in comparison to the dreaded middle-back seat of the car! Anyone who is the youngest of three like me will know why I am scarred by this. To this day, my older sister assumes she has the right to the front seat of a car if we are travelling together. Infuriating. Thankfully, as an adult, I have my own car and I can drive to Gold Class.

MY OPINION

BEYOND SINGLE STIGMA Garry Reynolds reflects on why the years spent discovering who we are can be just as valuable as finding someone to share them with.

eople often tell me I seem to revel in my independence as a senior, as though I’m striding through life with a canvas bag of confidence and a Bunnings-level ability to fix my own problems. And to be fair, I recently jumped on seven long-distance trains in eight days, visiting family and friends, meeting new friends along the way. There’s a particular joy in watching the country roll past while knowing you’re answerable to no one’s timetable but your own. I enjoy the freedom of being single, and so does a much younger mate of mine. But many single people, especially women, still feel the sting of stigma. They’re told, sometimes gently, sometimes bluntly, that singlehood is a sign they’ve missed a train everyone else managed to catch. One woman described carrying that belief for years. As friends married, had babies, bought homes and posted their milestone moments online, she felt stuck in life’s waiting room, holding a ticket no one intended to call. She blamed herself for the empty spaces, convinced her relationship status was a verdict on her worth. But singlehood, she eventually discovered, wasn’t a punishment. It was a classroom.

She learned how to travel alone, how to fix things without waiting for help, how to sit with her own thoughts without flinching. Independence stopped feeling like a consolation prize and started feeling like competence. She built self-reliance, self-knowledge and a sturdier sense of who she was when no one else was defining her. Then came the twist, the kind life saves for when you’ve stopped looking. A week before a work trip to Hong Kong, a stranger on a dating app sent a simple ‘hello’. No fireworks. No cinematic soundtrack. Just a message arriving at the exact moment she’d resigned herself to a lonely birthday. One conversation became another, then a meeting overseas, then a long-distance relationship she never imagined she’d be brave enough to try. Love didn’t erase her anxiety or transform her into someone new. It didn’t fix old fears or rewrite her personality. But it offered unexpected, inconvenient, wonderfully human joy, layered on top of the person she had already built. She no longer sees her single years as wasted time. They were scaffolding. Training. The essential work of becoming someone capable of loving and being loved without losing herself.

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

Member Spotlight Jakki Goodall SUNNY BNB | VICE PRESIDENT, MAROOCHYDORE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Where do you live? Buderim. Conveniently positioned between a golf club and a pub. I’m not sure if that’s good town planning or good life planning.

family’s connection to the Coast.

Tell us about your family? I’m married with three grown children. With three generations of our family living on the Coast, including my parents and in-laws, the future of this region is very personal to me.

Best thing about being a Chamber member? The executive meetings! I’m challenged, amused, occasionally confused and always learning. I get to sit alongside some of the Coast’s best business leaders, sponsors and speakers, and meet incredible people through the Chamber membership too.

Favourite location on the Sunshine Coast? Not the beach! Give me a tree-lined walking track in Mountain Creek, especially after rain when the creek is flowing. That petrichor smell, the greenery and fresh air – and best of all, no sand! Which local person inspires you? My big brother, Benny. He’s dedicated his career as an engineer to improving communities through water treatment, both locally and internationally. He’s fiercely loyal, generous with his time and advice, and has always been my sounding board and confidant. He takes being a big brother almost as seriously as he takes his surfing! Favourite local business? Breeze of Italy in Cotton Tree. Cosy, unapologetically Italian, where the wine is everything and the food is amazing. Best thing about living on the Coast? Being surrounded by my family’s history. Dad grew up on a dairy farm in Obi Obi, and whenever we’re in the hinterland, he’ll point at a creek and say, “Check if you can see a platypus.” I love that everyday places remind me of our

How long have you been a Chamber member? Five years... or about 4000 coffees!

Favourite ChamberCast? The one featuring Kris Carver – because I’m in it, obviously! More listens on that one, please! Favourite Chamber event? Any event where I don’t have to MC or speak! I love one-on-one conversations. Give me a great chat with one person over addressing a room any day. How can the Coast be improved? I’d love a more vibrant night-time economy for all generations, with designated precincts encouraging entertainment, dining and connection, supported by better transport. More reasons to enjoy the Coast after dark while protecting the lifestyle we love. What excites you about our future? We can attract great minds, businesses and ideas through our mix of technology, opportunity, lifestyle and culture. Get that balance right and there’s no ceiling on what we can become.

Leanne and Ditch Jones love their lifestyle at GemLife Elimbah as it allows them every opportunity to travel

THE FREEDOM TO TRAVEL, AND A BEAUTIFUL HOME TO COME BACK TO

or keen travellers Leanne and Ditch Jones, home is somewhere they love coming back to – even if they plan to spend around 130 days away next year. Having recently settled into GemLife Elimbah, the couple wanted a home that suited their love of travel and gave them

the freedom to lock up and leave whenever adventure called. “We’re not home a lot,” Leanne says. “We’ve been cruising for the past 10 years, but since we’ve retired, we’re doing a lot more. We’ve already done three cruises this year, we’ve got another three before the end of the year, and we

just spent two weeks in Vietnam as well.” Next year promises to be even busier, with cruises through the South Pacific, South-East Asia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Alaska and more. “So far next year we’re away for about 130 days,” she says.

“Life’s too short. You never know what’s going to happen, so we’re making the most of it.” The couple relocated from Townsville to be closer to family at Narangba and GemLife Elimbah’s convenient location made it an ideal home base. “We love our home but it’s the location too,” Leanne says. “We’re close to shopping, doctors, the train, the airport and the cruise terminal. Being close to the cruise terminal is a big one for us.” Cruising offers the kind of easygoing travel they enjoy. “It’s pretty much a set-and-forget holiday,” Leanne says. “You unpack your bag once and the ship takes you everywhere. If you want to get off at a port you can, and if you don’t feel like it, you don’t have to.” Located just north of Caboolture, GemLife Elimbah combines semi-rural serenity with modern, energy-efficient homes and future resort facilities, including a double-storey Country Club. For Leanne and Ditch, it’s the perfect home base between adventures. Discover the GemLife Elimbah lifestyle and book a tour at gemlife.com. au/elimbah.

IS A PARTIAL OR TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT RIGHT FOR YOU? If you’re experiencing knee pain from arthritis, you may assume a total knee replacement (TKR) is the only option. However, for selected patients, a unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement may offer faster recovery and a more natural-feeling joint. In a TKR, all three compartments of the knee may be resurfaced – even if only one is severely arthritic. In contrast, a unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) targets just the damaged part of the knee, preserving healthy bone, cartilage and ligaments. This often results in smaller incisions, quicker recovery, reduced post-operative pain and a more normal range of motion. The ideal candidate for UKR is someone with arthritis isolated to one part of the knee, good range of motion and intact ligaments. Advanced imaging, robotic assistance and surgical planning tools help confirm suitability and optimise outcomes. For patients with widespread arthritis, significant deformity, or instability, TKR remains the gold standard. It addresses the entire joint and offers excellent long-term durability.

TINNITUS: WHEN THE NOISE WON’T STOP Suzanne Vega’s 1992 song Blood Makes Noise captures something many people know all too well: the sound that no one else can hear. Written from the perspective of someone overwhelmed by a persistent internal din, the track portrays tinnitus as more than a nuisance. It muddles conversation, scatters concentration and turns ordinary moments into a struggle. The song’s most memorable line refers to a ringing in the ear, a simple phrase that speaks to how intrusive these sounds can become. For those living with tinnitus, the experience may be a buzz, hiss, whistle or roar, sometimes constant and sometimes fading in and out. Trying to follow a meeting, enjoy dinner with friends or fall asleep can become exhausting when your own ears refuse to be quiet. It is easy to shrug this off as an irritation to be endured, but tinnitus is a genuine health issue and deserves proper attention. It can be linked to hearing loss, exposure to loud noise, ear infections, earwax blockages, certain medications, high blood pressure or other underlying conditions. Occasionally, it signals something that needs prompt treatment. That is why anyone experiencing persistent ringing should see a doctor or hearing professional rather than simply hoping it passes. A thorough assessment can identify possible causes, rule out serious problems and open the door to management strategies, from sound therapy to counselling. Vega’s song gives the experience a voice. If the noise won’t fade, book the appointment today.

Hip pain? Here’s what you need to know Trouble sleeping due to hip pain when lying on your side? Or noticing a dull ache after walking for 20 minutes? You might be dealing with gluteus medius tendinopathy (GMT), a common hip tendon condition especially prevalent among perimenopausal and postmenopausal women due to hormonal changes. Targeted physiotherapy can help, but treating GMT requires a completely unique approach compared to a standard muscle strain: • Stop stretching: Stretching your glute muscles compresses the tendon against the hip bone, worsening inflammation. • Rest isn’t enough: Tendons have a much lower blood supply than muscles, meaning they can take up to seven times longer to heal, thus do not recover through rest alone. Instead, GMT requires specific, progressive loading exercises to rebuild strength safely without overtraining or worsening the underlying issue. A physiotherapist can design a personalised recovery plan, incorporating manual therapy, traditional Chinese acupuncture, and kinesiotaping. Let’s work together to get you moving comfortably and sleeping soundly again.

Osteoarthritis is when the protective layer of cartilage at the end of a bone wears down over time. Osteoarthritis can affect all joints in the body, including the spine. It is commonly associated with pain during basic movements, such as sitting, standing and walking. The spine is not unlike the larger joints in the body. Osteoarthritis affects the joints in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, causing similar symptoms of pain and decreased mobility. This pain is due to inflammation and swelling or from the development of bone spurs or osteophytes. These bone spurs can then put pressure on the nerves of the spine, leading to pain such as sciatica in the legs or pain in the arms and fingers. Treatment options for spinal osteoarthritis can range from painkillers, injections and surgery to remove the bone spurs and decompress the affected nerves. If you have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis or have neck or back pain, visit your GP to ask about a referral to a specialist to discuss your treatment options.

Dry eye treatment is changing as we learn more about the tear film, inflammation and the health of the ocular surface. One emerging area is the use of naturally derived oils and newer peptidebased therapies. Oils such as jojoba are being incorporated into eyelid and periocular formulations because of their emollient and lipid-supporting properties. They may help improve the environment around the meibomian glands, which produce the oil layer that slows tear evaporation. At the same time, researchers are studying peptides and protein-based treatments designed to do more than lubricate. Early studies suggest some peptides may help reduce inflammation, protect corneal cells and support epithelial repair. A naturally derived silk protein formulation has also been investigated in a phase two dry-eye trial. The science is still developing, and not every natural ingredient is suitable for the eye. At EyeHub, we continue to assess new treatments carefully, combining emerging evidence with established therapies to match treatment to the underlying cause of each patient’s dry eye rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

When a skin cancer is surgically removed, the resulting wound sometimes cannot be closed with stitches alone. In these cases, a skin graft may provide a suitable way to repair the area. A skin graft involves taking a piece of skin from another part of the body and carefully securing it over the wound. Unlike a skin flap, which moves nearby tissue while maintaining its blood supply, a graft develops a new blood supply from the underlying wound. Grafts can be particularly useful where surrounding skin is tight or limited, or where pulling the wound edges together could distort nearby structures, such as the nose or ear. At SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre, doctors typically use fullthickness skin grafts, which include both layers of skin. These can provide a good match in appearance and texture, with a smaller donor wound that can usually be closed with stitches. When appropriate, SunLife’s experienced doctors perform skin graft procedures on site. No private insurance needed.

In recent years, drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda and Wegovy have become more common. Maybe you receive one of them? They are GLP-1s, or Glucagonlike Peptide-1 receptor agonists (more about peptides next month). These drugs are used to control blood sugar for Type 2 diabetes, and as medical therapy for weight loss and obesity. This is particularly useful because obesity often causes Type 2 diabetes. Some studies also show benefits for heart and kidney health. Because of social judgement and stories of Hollywood starlets with “Ozempic face”, people may feel embarrassed to tell their anaesthetist and orthopaedic surgeon they are on these drugs. But please tell us because these drugs prolong the time food spends in your stomach. This risks aspiration – stomach contents flowing into and harming your lungs. To be safe, you need to be on a clear fluid diet earlier and for longer than other patients. Discuss this with your team and they will help you follow the latest Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists safety guidelines.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

There’s a Venus/Pluto square on Tuesday, when you may feel moody, power-hungry and misunderstood. Venus (planet of relationships) is currently retrograde, and then Mercury (planet of communication) slows down and turns retro on Saturday.

This week Venus – and then Mercury – reverse through your home zone. So, expect some domestic disruptions (like plumbing problems or appliances breaking down) and/ or family friction (like arguments and misunderstandings). But you can still have an enjoyable week.

Virgos are awesome organisers. But with Mercury moving through your communication zone, your managerial mojo may temporarily desert you. It’s time to recharge your run-down batteries, reboot your self-belief and tap into your inner beauty and zest for life.

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

This week Venus (your ruler) squares Pluto and reverses back into your sign. So, you’ll be at your accommodating best – and your procrastinating worst. Do you have to make an important decision? If you spend too long sitting on the fence, then other people will step in.

Pluto (your ruling planet) squares Venus on Tuesday, and the sun transits into Scorpio on Friday, which boosts your temperamental streak and control-freak tendencies. You may feel like you’re stuck in a self-sabotaging rut or even going backwards.

Are people aware of the substantial amount of work you’re doing behind the scenes, Sagittarius? This week Venus – and then Mercury – reverse through your solitude zone. So don’t be disappointed if others aren’t showing their appreciation at the moment.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

The sun, retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury are all transiting through your career and hopes/ wishes zones this week. So, you’ll worry about work problems and obsess over delayed dreams. But is that the best way to utilise your precious Capricorn time and talents?

This week relationship planet Venus – and then communication planet Mercury – reverse through your career zone. So, relations with a boss, colleague, client or customer could be challenging. Do your best to pick your battles carefully and choose your words wisely.

Are you wearing rose-coloured glasses and living in a Piscean fantasy land? This week, Venus – and then Mercury – reverse through your aspirations and education zones. Retrograde Mercury and Venus push you to reflect deeply as you face reality.

ELEVATED LIVING: TAKING COASTAL LUXURY TO NEW HEIGHTS

our new penthouses have been unveiled at SOL by Walker, adding a new single-level option to the Maroochydore City Centre development’s top-tier collection. The four residences are on level 17 of the second tower and offer three- and four-bedroom layouts, expansive living and entertaining zones, large balconies and premium finishes. The new single-level residences add to SOL’s dual-level penthouses, which are located in tower one and span levels 17 and 18. Together, the two offerings form The Penthouse Collection at SOL, which is taking shape in the heart of the vibrant Maroochydore City Centre. The 248-residence development will include apartments, terrace homes and penthouses.

Residents will have access to a 20-metre pool, gym, spa, cold plunge, sauna and steam room. Workplaces, restaurants, cafes and shopping are close by in the emerging city centre precinct. Walker Corporation Group Executive of Development Peter Saba says the new homes are designed with entertaining and flexible living in mind. “The penthouse collection offers generous living areas, large balconies and views across the Coast or hinterland, so there’s plenty of room to entertain and have family and friends over,” Mr Saba says. The three-bedroom penthouses each include a multipurpose room and two-and-a-half bathrooms; while the four-bedroom residences myweeklypreview.com.au

At a glance feature three-and-a-half bathrooms. The collection includes two or three car spaces depending on the individual residence. Mr Saba says: “The multipurpose room gives buyers more flexibility to tailor a space that works for their lifestyle, whether that’s a home office, guest bedroom or another living area.” The collection has been designed by award-winning studio Mim Design. Interiors incorporate natural materials including limestone, and marble in complementary hues; terracotta, Onde Rossa and Verde Atlantis, alongside Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. Mim Design founder Miriam Fanning says, “Our approach aimed to capture the essence of the Sunshine Coast and enviable ease of coastal life.” “The material palette draws from the changing tones of the landscape, layered with brushed metals, textured ceramic tiles and natural timber that create a sense of warmth myweeklypreview.com.au

and permanence.” Mr Saba says the project reflects the continued growth of Maroochydore as a major urban centre. “Maroochydore city centre is giving the Sunshine Coast room to grow, with homes, workplaces and services planned together,” he says. “Walker and our partners at Sunshine Coast Council are providing a range of housing options, helping people build their lives here, from young locals wanting to stay close to where they grew up or long-time residents ready to downsize without leaving their community.” Both towers are under construction, with tower one due for completion in late 2027 and tower two, including the new single-level penthouses, scheduled for early 2028. Once complete, SOL by Walker will be the Sunshine Coast’s tallest residential tower.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES A MILLION DOLLARS GET YOU? A $1 million budget can still open plenty of doors on the Sunshine Coast, but what it buys depends on location and compromise. WORDS: Ingrid Nelson

here was a time when having $1 million to spend on a Sunshine Coast property felt like a licence to dream. A beautiful family home, a generous backyard, perhaps a pool and even a glimpse of the ocean. These days, buyers with a million-dollar budget are having to be a little more selective. Of course, this doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities. Far from it. But what your money buys can change dramatically from one suburb to the next. In Maroochydore, for example, $1 million can put you into a stylish threebedroom apartment. A three-bedroom apartment at 11/81 Sixth Avenue sold for $1.005 million in August. Head to Sippy Downs and the same budget can buy a family home. A fourbedroom, two-bathroom, two-car property at 17 Red Cedar Street, on 495sqm, sold for $980,000 last month. Palmview offers a similar proposition, with 30 Jubilant Way selling for exactly $1 million in August. The four-bedroom home has two bathrooms and two-car accommodation. Then there’s Buderim, where $1 million

can still get you into the market, although buyers may need to compromise depending on the pocket. Experienced buyers’ agent and Ocean Buyers Agency owner Keeta Gibson says there are still opportunities, but buyers need to know what they are prepared to sacrifice. Recent sales demonstrate the trade-off. A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car property at 1/111 King Street, Buderim sold for $1.025 million last month. At 27 Vista Park Drive, however, $970,000 bought a different proposition: a huge 2314sqm block, but a more modest three-bedroom, one-bathroom home. For those prepared to head further inland, the equation can shift again. In the Glass House Mountains, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with three-car accommodation on 800sqm sold for $1.03 million last month. And while the hinterland can offer more land and a different lifestyle, Keeta says buyers shouldn’t assume heading west automatically means getting more for their money. “So I probably wouldn’t say ‘go hinterland and you’ll get heaps more for

Keeta Gibson your money’ because that’s not necessarily the case anymore.” Montville and Flaxton, in particular, can command a premium when buyers are chasing the quintessential hinterland combination of character, views, beautiful homes and usable land. “Montville and Flaxton are a bit tougher. You can absolutely find something

around $1 million, but if you want the beautiful hinterland home, views, usable land, etc, you can very quickly be up around $1.3 million-plus.” Mapleton, meanwhile, remains one of the more accessible hinterland options with properties sitting at around the million-dollar mark. A recent sale at 9 Tamarin Drive provides a good example, with the four-bedroom, one-bathroom home selling for $960,000 last month. It has two-car accommodation and sits on just more than 1000sqm. For buyers who are willing to trade a little – location for land, or views for size – there are still plenty of possibilities across the region. As Keeta puts it, the key is knowing your priorities before you start looking. Because at $1 million, the smartest buy may not be the one that gives you everything on your wishlist. It’s the one that gives you the things that matter most. With a little flexibility and a willingness to look beyond the obvious suburbs, there are still plenty of ways to make that million-dollar budget work.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Last week I received a text message from Sumatra with a spot on a board leaving next week. First I thought, hell yeah! Then I snapped back into reality and realised I had committed to a catch-up with friends. Not going to lie, I did think about dumping them for another surf trip. Think about remote islands, perfect waves and no crowds and the ones that are there are 9/10 always relaxed. The downside? It does take two days to get there. Sometimes three days, if the weather does not cooperate. But I am happy surrounded by stressed people I don’t know, surfing crappy wind swells – said no one ever! Be friendly!
