From the editor If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Sunshine Coast property market lately, you’ve probably noticed there’s been plenty of talk about prices cooling and what might happen next. And if you’re thinking about buying or selling, it can be hard to know what to make of it all. That’s why we’ve taken a closer look at the market in this week’s cover story. We chat with property experts about what’s really happening, why the market may simply be finding its feet after years of extraordinary growth, and why there are still plenty of reasons to feel positive about our region. This month is also a time to raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of supporting those affected by it. We share the moving story of a local mum who has been through her own journey and has a story to tell. It’s a powerful reminder of the people behind the statistics and why sharing our stories matters. As always, we have all your local news covered, along with the latest business updates, what’s on around the Coast and all the regular columns you know and love. So put the kettle on, get comfortable and enjoy this week’s edition. We’re here to keep you connected to the people, places and stories that make the Sunshine Coast such a special place to call home.

GENEROSITY TAKES FLIGHT A decade of community support was celebrated in style as the SunnyKids Mayoral Ball raised vital funds for its Transitional Housing Project.
A
gainst a backdrop of luxury aircraft, more than 330 guests came together for an evening of glamour and generosity that will make a lasting difference to Sunshine Coast families. The tenth SunnyKids Mayoral Ball, held at the Machjet International hangar at Sunshine Coast Airport on Saturday, October 17, raised $100,000 to support families escaping domestic and family violence. The funds will go towards
SunnyKids’ Transitional Housing Project, which provides safe accommodation, case management and practical support to help parents and children rebuild their lives and work towards independence. SunnyKids CEO Kathleen Hope says the funds will support families through a critical period beyond the immediate crisis. “When a family leaves domestic and family violence, getting to safety is the first priority,” she says. “But a safe place to stay is only the beginning.
“Families also need time, practical support and someone alongside them as they rebuild their lives. Our Transitional Housing Project brings those elements together, helping parents and children work towards a safer, more stable future. “Saturday was a wonderful night, but its impact will be felt by local families long after the hangar doors close.” The ball brought together business leaders, philanthropists and community supporters for an evening of dining, aerial performances, auctions and raffles. Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli says the result reflects the region’s enduring support for SunnyKids. “For 10 years, the Mayoral Ball has brought our community together to make a difference for local children and families,” Mayor Natoli says.
“The generosity in the room on Saturday night was extraordinary. Every contribution will help SunnyKids support families taking their next steps towards safety and independence. “I’m proud to stand alongside SunnyKids and everyone who has helped make this event such a valued part of our community.” Ms Hope thanked Machjet International for again hosting the ball, along with the sponsors, donors, guests and volunteers who made the evening possible. She says the event also plays an important role as a “friend-raiser”, introducing new supporters to SunnyKids. “The funds raised are vital, and so are the relationships that begin in that room,” she says. “Every year, people discover more about SunnyKids and find ways to contribute beyond the ball, whether through their business, their time or their connections. “That ongoing support strengthens the village around local children and families.” To find out more about supporting the charity, visit sunnykids.org.au.

COVER STORY
A
fter several years of extraordinary growth, the Sunshine Coast property market is showing signs of settling, leaving buyers and sellers wondering what comes next. While national headlines point to a slowdown, two property experts believe the region has plenty of reasons to remain optimistic. Terry Ryder, founder of property research group Hotspotting, and Vanessa Rader, head of research at Ray White, both agree that conditions have shifted, but the Sunshine Coast is not experiencing a uniform downturn. While economic uncertainty is affecting confidence and some higher-priced areas are under pressure, they say population growth, infrastructure investment, lifestyle appeal and a shortage of housing continue to support the region’s long-term prospects. Experts say while a softer market may affect the price achieved when selling, it can also create opportunities when buying, making the gap between the sale price and the cost of the next property more important than focusing on either figure in isolation.

PROPERTY MARKET: WHAT BUYERS AND SELLERS NEED TO KNOW Despite economic uncertainty and shifting property conditions, experts say the Sunshine Coast market is holding its ground, with opportunities for those willing to adjust their expectations. Words: Ingrid Nelson.
TERRY RYDER: NOT ALL MARKETS ARE CREATED EQUAL Terry Ryder, founder of property research group Hotspotting, believes the Sunshine Coast is showing greater resilience than many other Australian markets, despite the economic pressures affecting property nationally. “We don’t see any major evidence that the Sunshine Coast market is falling,” he says. “The Sunshine Coast is handling the current period of significant disruption (Federal Budget and four interest rate rises) better than most locations around Australia. “The exception is the top end of the market – the most expensive suburbs have dropped while more affordable areas are holding up well.”
Mr Ryder says national trends do not always reflect what is happening locally. Markets can behave differently depending on population growth, economic conditions and housing supply, and he believes the Sunshine Coast has several advantages. “The Sunshine Coast surge since 2020 has been largely driven by investment in major infrastructure and the boost that has given the local economy and growth in the Sunshine Coast population. “Those factors remain strong on the Sunshine Coast, alongside the attraction of the physical environment and lifestyle.” However, he says affordability is becoming a more significant factor, particularly in the region’s most expensive areas. Noosa and suburbs such as Minyama myweeklypreview.com.au
COVER STORY have experienced greater pressure as higher interest rates and Federal Budget changes affect borrowing capacity. “Affordability rules, especially with the decline in borrowing capacity from the budget changes and interest rate rises.” That distinction matters for sellers. Conditions can vary considerably between locations and price brackets, so recent sales of genuinely comparable properties are a more useful guide to pricing than broad claims about the Sunshine Coast market as a whole. For buyers, Mr Ryder says reduced competition may create opportunities to negotiate. But he cautions against waiting for a predicted market bottom, arguing that property data often lags behind changing conditions. “The key factor is that there is less competition than before and opportunity to buy better than six months ago.
“Buyers who are ready to take action should not delay in expectation of major falls in prices.”
“Buyers who are ready to take action should not delay in expectation of major falls in prices.” Mr Ryder believes Australia’s ongoing housing shortage and population growth will help limit any downturn. “We still have very high population growth fuelled by immigration at a time of dwelling shortages,” he says. His view is that the current market offers a different set of conditions rather than a reason for buyers and sellers to panic.
VANESSA RADER: A MARKET ADJUSTING AFTER STRONG GROWTH Ray White head of research Vanessa Rader says economic uncertainty, interest rate increases and recent Federal Budget changes have made buyers and sellers more cautious, contributing to fewer listings and sales and some consolidation in prices. “We are in a period of uncertainty with economic changes, interest rate increases and the recent budget changes have created a period where buyers and sellers are a little uncertain, so as a result, doing very little… causing a reduction in listings, sales etc and resulting some consolidation to prices.” However, Ms Rader says the Sunshine Coast’s current conditions need to be considered in the context of its substantial long-term growth. “Over the past decade, house prices have risen 122 per cent and unit prices 124 per cent,” she says. “In context of the consistent high growth, this correction is limited.” She points to population growth, interstate migration, employment opportunities and major infrastructure investment as factors supporting the region. The Sunshine Coast’s lifestyle appeal, together with key facilities such as the hospital, university and airport, also contributes to its economic prospects. The lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics could provide another boost through jobs growth and investment.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR SUNSHINE COAST HOMEOWNERS: While both experts see reasons for optimism, neither suggests every property will be immune to changing conditions. The market has become more nuanced, with affordability, location and price bracket influencing how individual properties perform. For sellers, this means being realistic about price expectations, paying attention to recent comparable sales and recognising that buyers may no longer feel the same urgency they did during the boom. For buyers, less competition may offer more room to negotiate, but affordability and a long-term view remain essential. The experts’ message is that while the conditions have changed, the region’s underlying appeal continues to provide grounds for cautious optimism.

Housing supply is also important. A shortage of quality homes and limited residential land releases may help cushion prices even as buyers become more cautious. “This may also be an influencing factor as to why price falls have not been as great as other markets,” Ms Rader says. For sellers, however, the changing pace of the market means expectations may need to shift after years of strong capital growth. With buyers taking more time to make decisions, realistic pricing and an understanding of comparable local sales are increasingly important. Ms Rader also urges buyers to keep affordability front of mind as interest rates rise. “Financing is key, with rising interest rates, get approval for what you can safely afford and look for a property.” Despite the uncertainty, she believes the region remains well positioned over the longer term. “Encouragingly for the Sunshine Coast there is strong demand to be in this location, employment has been doing well and the runway to the Olympics is a strong catalyst for job growth and local economic prosperity. It’s a great place to be… we just need to look with a longer-term lense.”

INAUGURAL GAMES FOSTER COMMUNITY CONNECTION From wheelchair rugby to modified skateboarding, a new event backed by Australian sporting greats is opening up a world of possibilities.
A
Sunshine Coast initiative creating inclusive sporting opportunities will expand across Queensland, with the inaugural All-Abilities Games bringing athletes, sporting organisations and the community together at Currimundi this month. Developed by Sunshine Coast resident
Danielle Lenord, founder and director of The Lavender Sky Foundation, the free event will be held at the Sunshine Coast Recreation Precinct on Saturday, October 31, from 9.30am to 2pm. The Games grew from the foundation’s Connect Rugby League program, which began in 2022 with just five participants.
It has since expanded to more than 40 players across four clubs, including Kawana Dolphins, Caloundra Sharks, Noosa Pirates and Caboolture Snakes. Following the program’s success, Danielle began exploring how similar inclusive opportunities could be created across a broader range of sports. “All-abilities doesn’t mean one sport has to fit everyone. It means giving people the opportunity to find a sport they enjoy, and then looking at how we can adapt the sport or the environment to support their participation,” she says. The Games will welcome people with and without disability, including neurodivergent people and those living with chronic health conditions or requiring additional support to participate. Activities will include wheelchair basketball and rugby, powerchair soccer, inclusive netball, modified rugby league, skateboarding and adaptive sporting demonstrations, with participating organisations adapting activities to suit individual needs. Australian Steelers wheelchair rugby captain and Paralympian Chris Bond OAM PLY will serve as Games ambassador, while marathon swimming champion Susie Maroney OAM will deliver swimming and water safety workshops. NRL player Moses Mbye will also lead inclusive rugby league
skills workshops. Beyond the one-day event, the foundation hopes to establish ongoing pathways connecting participants with local sporting clubs and programs. “Sport is about so much more than physical activity. It is about friendships, confidence, wellbeing, community connection and having somewhere you belong,” Danielle says. The initiative has Queensland Government Department of Sport sponsorship to support five events, with plans to expand into Townsville, Moreton Bay, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast. Danielle also hopes the Sunshine Coast will become the permanent home of a major annual event, attracting participants from across Queensland and eventually interstate. “We have such an incredible region, with wonderful sporting facilities, clubs, businesses and community organisations,” she says. “This is about building something that lasts, something that continues to grow and creates opportunities for people who may never have imagined they could be part of a sporting event like this.” Admission and general activities are free, although limited places in selected workshops may incur a $10 fee. Registration is required. Visit events.humanitix.com/ the-all-abilities-games-sunshine-coast-2026

Alex Collins
WHEN A CUPPA BECOMES LIFE-CHANGING Coast mum Alex Collins knows how much a listening ear and a little support can mean during challenging times. Words: Ingrid Nelson.
W
ith 56 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer every day, a campaign is encouraging people to put the kettle on and make space for conversations that could make a difference. Launched for Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October), A Life-Changing Cuppa is a collaboration between Tetley Tea and
Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA), drawing on the familiar ritual of sharing a cuppa when someone needs support. For Sunshine Coast woman Alex Collins, the importance of having people to lean on became all too real when she was diagnosed with stage two, grade-three triple-positive breast cancer at just 30. With no family history of breast cancer, Alex visited her GP after discovering a
pea-sized lump in her breast. Her diagnosis changed her perspective on life, giving her a renewed appreciation for the everyday moments many of us take for granted. “It’s “ not often you come face to face with your own mortality, especially at 30,” Alex says. “But in a way it has been a blessing. I “ now truly understand how precious life is not to take a single day for granted, and n even the mundane things like washing or cleaning up after the kids.” clean Mum to two young girls, Alex says M husband, family, friends and even her h strangers she has met along the way have stran helped her navigate the emotional helpe rollercoaster of treatment. Her daughters have also provided a welcome distraction, bringing her back to the present when the worry of results and difficult decisions becomes overwhelming. Alex has found invaluable support through Bloomhill Cancer Care, particularly with nurses Helen and Rachel, who have been there to listen, offer advice and provide reassurance throughout her journey. “Knowing there is a safe space where you can feel normal again has made a huge difference,” she says. For Alex, that support is a reminder of how important it is to reach out, whether someone needs practical help, a listening ear or simply the chance to talk about how
they are really feeling. BCNA chief executive Kirsten Pilatti says open conversations can help raise awareness while providing connection and support for people affected by breast cancer. “Breast cancer can affect people at different ages and in very different ways. “It is so important that people feel able to speak about their health, share their experiences and seek medical advice when something does not feel right,” Ms Pilatti says. Tetley vice-president and country head of Australia and New Zealand Syed Zeeshan says the campaign builds on tea’s longstanding role in bringing people together. “Putting the kettle on is often what we do when someone needs to talk, when we want to check in, or simply when we take a moment together,” he says. “We know that tea has always been about more than just what’s in the cup.” Alex hopes her experience will encourage others to pay attention to their bodies and seek medical advice if something feels different, regardless of their age. “No one knows your body like you do,” she says.

These are the people who make our region a better place to live,” she says. “The Australia Day Community Awards celebrate those who make a positive difference across the Sunshine Coast, everyday people and organisations who make meaningful contributions to our community. “If there’s someone you know who has inspired you, supported others or gone above and beyond to help make our region stronger, please take the time to nominate them.” Dr Selina Tomasich, founder of global non-profit Hair Aid, was last year’s Sunshine Coast Citizen of the Year. “It was a huge honour to win and provided a wonderful opportunity to share the work our organisation does to help families out of poverty,” Dr Tomasich says. Nominations are now open and will close on November 30, with award recipients to be announced at the Sunshine Coast Australia Day Community Awards ceremony on January 22, 2027. Nominate at sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/ living-and-community/awards-andcitizenship.
SUNSHINE COAST SPORTING COMMUNITY SET TO SHINE For more than 56 years, the Sunshine Coast Sports Annual Awards have celebrated the achievements and dedication of those who make sport thrive across the region. That proud tradition continues on Thursday, December 3, as the sporting community gathers at the UniSC Auditorium to celebrate the highlights, successes and contributions that have shaped sport on the Coast during the past year. This year’s finalists will join an impressive list of previous Sunshine Coast Sports Award recipients, including surf lifesaving great Grant Kenny, swimmers Liam Schluter and Lani Pallister, Paralympic swimmer Callum Simpson, triathlete Addison Houslip and lawn bowls champion Kelsey Cottrell. Returning to the MC role, Sunshine Coast Lightning player Ava Black will host the awards. She will be joined by keynote speaker Dr Bridie Kean, Paralympian and Deputy Chef de Mission for the Australian Paralympic Team at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Awards will be presented across 11 categories, culminating in the announcement of the 2026 Senior Sport Star of the Year and
Sunshine Coast Lightning player Ava Black
Junior Sport Star of the Year. Sunshine Coast Sports chair James Moohan says, “As we celebrate the 56th Sunshine Coast Sports Awards, we recognise not only the outstanding performances of our athletes, coaches, volunteers, clubs and organisations, but also the vital role sport plays in building healthy, connected and resilient communities.” “These awards honour excellence while inspiring the next generation to dream big, work hard and represent our region with pride.” Nominations remain open until October 30.

COMPASSIONATE CARE: NEW MALENY CLINIC KEEPS PATIENTS CLOSER TO HOME For hinterland families facing life’s most difficult moments, having compassionate medical support close to home can make all the difference. A new palliative care outpatient clinic at Maleny Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital is helping patients access specialised end-of-life care locally, reducing the need for exhausting long-distance travel. Rural generalist Dr Bec Devereaux, who has specialised skills in palliative care, established the clinic to help patients remain at home with their families for longer through regular appointments, treatments and ongoing support. “We’re able to have these remote patients not have to drive long distances, which are exhausting and tiring for these patients, so that they’re able to have outpatient support locally in their community,” Bec says. Patients can also transition to inpatient care at the hospital as their needs change. One of the clinic’s first outpatients was Joe Lynch, a well-known Irish poet and comedian who was a much-loved member of the Maleny community. His wife, Ricky Lynch, says early access to Bec made a significant
Ricky Lynch, Dr Bec Devereaux difference throughout Joe’s illness. “Yes, we had sadness and we had all these horrible things that were going on, but we didn’t have stress,” she says. Ricky also remembers the peaceful surroundings, where the couple could take short walks, sit on a bench and listen to the birds. “I think it was just beautiful, it was dignified, calm,” she says. The support extended beyond Joe’s medical care, helping the family maintain a connection with the hospital team. “A big, huge thank you, from me, from Joe and from our family and friends. Because I think it kept us sane, it could have been a different journey altogether,” Ricky says.

M2U Active Transport Corridor reaches design milestone Cr Joe Natoli Division Four
New beach shower With the warmer months coming, the installation of a new shower at Beach Access 156 at Alexandra Headland is a welcome addition for beachgoers. The shower is now complete and open to the public, providing a convenient way for surfers, swimmers and visitors to rinse off after enjoying the coastline. The project included the installation of a double-head shower, double foot wash, water supply infrastructure, concrete slab and surrounding landscape improvements. The shower also holds special significance for the Robinson family, with council contributing towards its installation in memory of their young son, Max, who sadly lost his battle with leukaemia.

The design for the Mooloolaba to University (M2U) Active Transport Corridor along Molakai Drive and Karawatha Drive is now complete. This marks an exciting milestone for the project. Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback throughout the planning process. Community input helped shape the final design, including changes to retain most on-street parking while improving safety, accessibility and connectivity for people walking, riding, scootering, using mobility aids and pushing prams. The project will now move into the construction phase, with works expected to start in late 2026. We’ll continue to keep our community informed as the project progresses. You can view the final design, read frequently asked questions and subscribe for project updates on council’s website by searching for ‘M2U Active Transport Corridor’.

IS ALFRED TAKING OVER? It seems to me the future has already arrived – and there’s a reasonable chance some of us are being left behind. Artificial intelligence has evolved from being something we once heard about on the news to something many of us now carry around in our pockets. We ask it questions, get it to write things, solve problems and, in some cases, even give it a name. Call it ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Nancy, Sean or whatever your favourite AI companion happens to be. And then, just as we are getting comfortable with our new digital friend, along comes the growing realisation that perhaps we should be a little careful about where this relationship is heading. The technology is moving incredibly quickly. The question is whether our ability to exercise judgement, responsibility and common sense is
keeping pace. There is a real danger that AI becomes a shortcut not just for work, but for thinking. We type in the problem, receive an impressive-looking answer and move on. But did we check it? Did we challenge it? Did we actually think about it ourselves? It reminds me of what email did to the workplace. Instead of getting up and walking across the office to have a conversation, we discovered we could send an email from three metres away. Convenient, yes. But something was lost along the way. Many of our best ideas don’t come from technology. They come from people talking. From a good argument. From laughter. From someone asking, “What if we tried this?” I’m certainly not suggesting we return to slate, quills and courier pigeons. AI is an extraordinary tool, and I suspect it will change our world in ways we haven’t yet imagined. But perhaps the trick is making sure we remain the humans in the relationship. So, by all means, ask Alfred for a hand. Just don’t let Alfred do all the thinking. And occasionally, put down the phone, get up from the desk and go and talk to someone. You might be surprised what you come up with together.

MY OPINION
A RELIGION FOR THE MODERN AGES
AMERICA AND ITS MORONIC IDEAS
It may not promise eternal life, but with coffee, connection and enjoyment in the great outdoors, Jane Stephens says it’s worth serious consideration.
There are some things that simply defy logic, and for Ashley Robinson, the latest US contradiction is proving difficult to comprehend.
I
really struggle to get my head around the US being the leader of the free world, especially when I watch what’s going on over there under its current leader. Then there is the train of thought from some of them. Don’t get me wrong, I love meeting people from the US, and I used to love going there, but like some countries, they have some unusual beliefs. On the plus side, they are pretty good at creating national days, like National Coffee Day, for instance. Internationally, it is held on October 1. But the Yanks like to get in first, celebrating theirs on September 29. They have quite a history with the beverage. Back in 1773, American colonists famously dumped hundreds of chests of British tea into Boston Harbour in protest against British taxation and control of the tea trade. The event, known as the Boston Tea Party, helped turn coffee into something of a patriotic alternative to tea. So, not only did they thumb their noses at the British, they found another excuse to enjoy a good cuppa. Clever, really. What is also clever is National Pumpkin Day on October 26. A master stroke leading
up to Halloween. It seems they have national days for nearly everything, which I sort of get. What I don’t get about America is the death penalty – particularly the latest case in which a female prisoner survived an execution attempt despite receiving two doses of lethal injection drugs. While I don’t agree with the death penalty, I do understand every country and state reserves the right to decide how they deal with heinous crimes and perpetrators. But why are the Americans now doing everything they can to help this prisoner recover from the experience, to then try and, what, execute her again? It is ridiculous. I don’t think there should be a death penalty unless the prisoner chooses that option over a lifetime of incarceration. That would sort of make sense. What doesn’t make sense is bringing someone back to good health to then possibly have another crack at executing them. Maybe they could add a couple more events to their national days, such as National Oxymoron Day and National Hypocritical Day. I have a good idea of who the pin-up person could be for both.
Ashley Robinson is Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Club CEO, chairman of Thunder Netball and a lifetime Sunshine Coast resident.
R
unning is the religion of our era, with footpaths being pounded by more and more of the faithful, who find peace, meaning and even love with each step. As a runner myself, I am delighted to see people of all shapes, sizes and speeds finding joy in movement. It is free, inclusive and you do not even have to be fast to experience a runner’s high. Group running is one of the fastestgrowing social activities globally and is considered the “third running boom”. The first was jogging (or ‘yogging’ if you are a fan of the fan favourite movie Anchorman) and the second was road racing and marathons. This running boom is driven by Gen Z and post-pandemic shifts towards community fitness, with social running clubs popping up like mushrooms. These Gen Z and young adults are increasingly trading late-night clubbing and alcohol-centric socialising for sober morning run-and-coffee meetups. Informal group runs have evolved into a popular alternative to dating apps, with a notable percentage of members forming romantic or professional connections.
It is refreshing and delightfully old school. Those meeting up in the wee hours in parks around the Coast may not even know each other but may be linked by friends of friends and social channels. Curious researchers trying to fathom why young people are suddenly running en masse found that 70 per cent of them join to combat social isolation. Platforms like Strava and Instagram fuel virality, tracking stats and sharing post-run content. If running is religion, then church is surely parkrun. The free, timed community movement has more than 11 million registered participants across 23 countries. Attendance at the 11 events on the Sunshine Coast and in Noosa has spiked. Saturday is the holy day and the ceremonies always begin at 7am. Sweaty coffee is sipped in communion at the conclusion. Running clubs are effective because they provide support and accountability. If you’ve been a few times and don’t turn up, someone is going to notice, and that makes a difference in this lonely world. If running is the religion of our era, its greatest promise is not faster times or eternal life. It is a better life now through health and connection.

SURF, SUPPORT AND SUCCESS Mooloolaba Chamber of Commerce treasurer Luke Teys shares why he loves the region. Andrew Griffith

Ord Minnett, Buderim
NAVIGATING GLOBAL INFLATION Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index dipped 3.2 per cent in September as bond yields and oil prices surged. The inflationary effects of the prolonged US-Iran conflict spurred a number of developed market central banks to raise their policy rates, including the central banks of the United States, Europe, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. Most have signalled that a further tightening of monetary policy may be necessary. Materials is a sector we prefer as we navigate a more challenging phase of the cycle. Inflation usually bodes well for commodity prices, though interest rate hikes bear watching as aggressive hikes could ultimately be negative for commodity demand. On balance, however, we are constructive over the long-term on several commodities given supply side constraints. Copper demand is at risk of a near-term reversal given a pull-forward of demand ahead of a US tariff decision on refined copper. However, we are positive on the commodity longer-term, given electrification demand and the lack of investment in new projects. In iron ore, we note high energy costs and freight rates are currently squeezing some producers and will likely see some supply removed from the market. We are also optimistic on lithium,
given the momentum in electric vehicles, energy storage, renewables demand and supply-side risks being skewed to the downside. Among the larger miners, we prefer Rio Tinto over BHP driven by its stronger production growth profile and the potential to unlock additional shareholder value through cost-out initiatives and non-core asset sales. South32 offers exposure to production growth, commodities facing structural supply constraints, namely copper and zinc, and a strong balance sheet. We recently added Deterra Royalties to our conviction list. Deterra is a commodity royalty company offering productionlinked income and growth from new royalty streams. Orica provides exposure to the sodium cyanide market, a critical reagent used in gold extraction. The two largest global producers – Orica and Draslovka – have indicated their production capacity is fully committed. With supply effectively sold out, pricing power is improving. Please contact your Ords adviser to discuss in further detail.
uke Teys is the branch lending manager at Westpac Kawana, where he enjoys helping locals with all their home lending needs. He’s also treasurer of the Mooloolaba Chamber of Commerce and a patrolling lifesaver, nippers age manager and junior activities committee treasurer at the Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club. Luke, his wife Cristina and their two young daughters, love everything Mooloolaba has to offer. From fresh seafood on the beach with the girls, to date nights at one of the great local restaurants, or a cold beer at the surf club overlooking the ocean, it’s hard to beat! What do you love most about Mooloolaba? It’s the genuine people. We’re lucky to have an amazing beach and fantastic local businesses, but it’s the people who make Mooloolaba what it is. Being part of Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club is like having a second family. I love seeing kids grow in confidence at the beach, learn new skills and have a pathway through the club as they get older. The volunteers who give up their time to make it happen are incredible, and that says a lot about our community.
Andrew Griffith is an Authorised Representative of Ord Minnett Limited, Australian Financial Services Licence 237121.
Why do you enjoy being part of the Mooloolaba Chamber? It’s actually quite similar to what I love about the surf club. There are so many genuine, down-to-earth people who want to connect, support each other and see the area do well. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the people behind local businesses and being part of a committee where everyone brings something different to the table. With all the foreshore changes, we’re keen to see Mooloolaba grow, while keeping what makes it special. For me, it’s about getting involved, making connections and doing my bit for a community that’s given our family so much.

A SPECIALIST APPROACH When navigating separation and family law matters, choosing a solicitor with independently recognised expertise can provide valuable peace of mind.
W
hen choosing a family lawyer, experience and qualifications are important considerations. However, many people may not realise that there is an additional professional accreditation available to solicitors who demonstrate enhanced skills, superior knowledge, significant experience and a high proficiency in their chosen area of law. Queensland Law Society Specialist Accreditation is a rigorous assessment program of a high standard to ensure
recognition is meaningful and shows a mark of excellence to those who are accredited specialists. It is a qualification held by only a small percentage of practicing solicitors in Queensland, making it an important consideration when selecting legal representation. Candice Bell, director and principal solicitor of Arrow Law, is a Queensland Law Society Accredited Specialist in Family Law. Having dedicated her career to family law, Candice understands the decisions
made during separation can have significant and lasting consequences for individuals and families. From parenting arrangements and property settlements to domestic violence matters and complex family law disputes, each situation requires careful consideration and an approach suited to each person’s individual circumstances. For clients, engaging an accredited specialist provides an additional level of assurance that their solicitor has demonstrated superior knowledge and enhanced skills through independent professional assessment. At Arrow Law, Candice combines her specialist accreditation with a commitment to personalised service, practical legal advice and clear communication. Her focus is on ensuring clients understand their position, the options available to them and the considerations that may influence their decisions. While no solicitor can guarantee a particular outcome, having access to experienced, knowledgeable legal representation can make a meaningful difference when navigating a family law matter. If you are seeking family law advice from an accredited specialist, contact Arrow Law to arrange a consultation with Candice Bell.
NEW CHAPTER FOR RESTAURANT A Sunshine Coast hospitality business, which has spent 25 years putting down strong community roots, is passing its legacy on to the next generation. Family-run restaurant, Wung Nam Thai Water Palace, overlooks Pumicestone Passage from Bulcock Beach at BreakFree Grand Pacific Caloundra. Before opening the restaurant, Nadao Dhomasaroj (Dao) had already spent almost a decade working in the industry in Thailand, including in her mother’s restaurant and her own business. “Back then, Thai food wasn’t as widely understood or appreciated on the Sunshine Coast as it is today, but I wanted to bring a taste of Thailand here and share the food and culture I grew up with,” she says. In 2011, her partner Worranit Bhodhisook (Bia), a qualified chef, joined the business as head chef. Their daughter, Prin Chivaramonaikul, who grew up helping in the restaurant, has since studied hospitality management and marketing and has been involved in the business for nearly 20 years. Looking ahead, Dao wants the restaurant to build on its history while allowing Prin to bring fresh ideas to the business.

IN D U S T RY E X PERTS SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS What started almost five years ago as an idea to transform Australian-grown garlic into something extraordinary has delivered great results for Noosa Black Garlic founders Teneille Newton and Tony O’Brien. At the 2026 Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards on September 30, Noosa Black Garlic was named Champion Australian Small Preserves Producer, Champion Sweet Preserve and Champion Savoury Preserve. For Teneille, hearing Noosa Black Garlic announced as Champion Australian Small Preserves Producer was a moment that was difficult to comprehend. “Tony and I started this business almost five years ago with a belief that Australian-grown garlic could be transformed into something really special,” she says. “To now be recognised at this level, alongside some of the best food producers in the country, means more to us than we can put into words.” Teneille says the recognition also belongs to the wider community behind the business. “There are so many people behind every jar,” she says. “Our Australian garlic growers, our little production team, suppliers, stockists, chefs, distributors and of course our customers who have supported us from the beginning.” The Melbourne Royal success came just four days after another significant milestone for Teneille. On September 26, she was named one of only six Women’s Champion Masters for 2026 at the Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards. The national Champion Masters program recognises women business owners based on business success, innovation and future growth potential. In addition to receiving the Champion Master honour, Teneille was awarded a business development grant to support Noosa Black Garlic’s next stage of growth and its expanding opportunities in Australia and international markets. “As a small regional manufacturer, you spend so much time focused on what comes next, production, customers, growers, new products, distribution and the million little things involved in growing a business,” she says. “Moments like this make you stop for a second and realise just how far you’ve come.” myweeklypreview.com.au
Stuck between property decisions?
We don’t talk anymore
Family business succession planning
A lot of people assume they only have two options when making a property move: buy first or sell first. When the timing doesn’t line up, many find themselves asking, “What do I do now?” This is where bridging finance can help. Bridging finance is a specialised lending solution designed to provide short term funding during a transition period. It can help homeowners and investors move forward with their plans while waiting for another property to be sold, refinanced, or completed. We commonly see bridging finance used for: • upsizing or downsizing the family home • renovating a property before sale • transitioning into retirement living • family law and separation settlements • purchasing before an existing property settles • property development and subdivision projects. The challenge is that many people don’t realise these lenders and funding solutions exist. What can seem like a dead end is often simply a matter of finding the right lending strategy. As brokers who specialise in bridging finance, we work with lenders that understand complex situations and can provide flexible solutions where traditional lending may fall short. If you’re feeling stuck, don’t assume your plans need to wait. A conversation with a specialist broker could help.
They say blood is thicker than water, but when money and inheritance enter the picture, family ties can quickly unravel. That was the unfortunate outcome in the recent Queensland Supreme Court decision of Patterson v Weatherald [2026] QSC 243. A brother and sister were appointed joint executors and equal beneficiaries of their late father’s estate. However, rather than working together, their relationship deteriorated to the point where Court intervention became necessary. The brother had been living rent-free in an estate property, collecting rent from another property without properly accounting for it and delaying the administration of the estate. His sister had had enough. She successfully applied to have them both removed as executors, with the Court appointing an independent administrator. To make matters worse for the brother, he was ordered to personally pay his sister’s legal costs. The lesson? Appointing your children as joint executors might seem fair, but it can prove disastrous if they cannot cooperate.
Here are a few quick tips to consider when starting your succession planning: • Commence succession planning early in the life of the business. • Always keep your financial data up to date so that information is easily accessed and ready for any new plan. It’s important to understand the overall strategic plan of the business. What is the reality of our now? -Governance policies -Business systems and processes -Profitability and cash flow -Growth opportunities -Leverage -Structuring -Asset holdings – income/passive income -Current business value -Management structure and skills. Where do we want to be in the future? -What are our succession options? -What is the impact of these options? -What might retirement look like? -What role do you want to continue to play in the business? -What is your desired valuation/sales price? How do we get there? -Action -Milestones, timing and responsibility - Financial and operational KPIs.

THIRTY YEARS OF CHANGE: REFLECTING ON EDUCATION
A
s Sunshine Coast Grammar School celebrates its 30th anniversary, it is an opportune moment to reflect not only on the journey of the school itself, but also on the profound transformation of education. When the school opened its doors in 1996, the world was different. The internet
30 My Weekly Preview | October 22, 2026
was still in its infancy, mobile phones were uncommon among young people, and classrooms were largely analogue environments. A bank of computers was kept in a dedicated room and not in the hands of every student. Teachers relied on whiteboards, overhead projectors, textbooks and paper-based assessments.
Research meant a trip to the library rather than a search engine, and communication between school and home occurred through newsletters, diaries and phone. Today, students learn in a hyperconnected world where information is available instantly, digital devices are commonplace, and artificial intelligence is
beginning to reshape how teaching and learning occur. We are now sitting in that reflective space and considering if all this technological change and advancement is actually good for learning. The concerns of a world with technology threaded through it are becoming more obvious. Schools are seeing increased student wellbeing issues associated with social media and online interactions. There is a growing concern over the impact of digital distractions that are rewiring the young brain to look for instant gratification while scrolling endlessly through social media feeds. This rapid context-switching is impacting long-term focus, deep reading, and critical thinking. Consequently, the educational landscape is now calling for a digital detox to combat cognitive fatigue and burnout – relying less on technology and essentially getting back to basics in the classroom. It will be interesting to see what the next 30 years in education will look like. One thing must remain constant and that is that the fundamental mission of education remains as important today and into the future as it was in 1996: empowering young people to learn, thrive and make a meaningful difference in the world.

MY EDUCATION
A DIFFERENT PATH TO LEARNING
A
fter struggling in mainstream schooling, 17-year-old Amber Luck found a new approach to education that has helped build her confidence and prepare her for a future career. Amber has wanted to be a teacher since she was a little girl, when she would convince her sister to play schools and take on the role of teacher. Whenever she was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, her answer never changed. But while her career ambition was clear, finding a school environment that suited her was more difficult. The 17-year-old Year 12 student says she struggled to stay motivated in mainstream schooling, particularly when lessons seemed disconnected from her future. She also found relationships with teachers and other students challenging. She questioned whether a single week of work experience could give students enough insight to make such an important career decision. Over time, the experience left her emotionally drained. As she approached Year 10, Amber was

“These opportunities have helped me develop valuable life and workplace skills”
seriously considering leaving school unless she could find a different approach to education. Her older sister had already shown her another option. After facing similar challenges, her sister enrolled at The Industry School in 2018 and, Amber says, became more engaged in her education. “Seeing the drastic change in my sister made me realise what a difference the right learning environment could make,” Amber says. The Industry School is a senior school for students in Years 10 to 12 that combines classroom learning with workplace experience, including work placements, vocational training, apprenticeships and traineeships. Established in 2006, it now supports around 1300 students across southeast Queensland, helping them work towards their Queensland Certificate of Education and nationally recognised qualifications. Amber enrolled hoping to have a positive outcome, just as her sister had. “When I enrolled at The Industry School, I was hoping for more practical, real-world learning that I could apply to my future, along with a healthier and more
supportive learning environment,” she says. The change gave her an opportunity to test different career paths before committing to one. Through five weeks of work experience each term, she explored veterinary nursing, hairdressing and mechanics before discovering her passion for early childhood education. She went on to secure a school-based traineeship at a local kindergarten, working two days a week, and has recently completed a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. That practical experience has also helped her feel more confident outside the classroom. “These opportunities have helped me develop valuable life and workplace skills, but most importantly, confidence,” she says. Amber says the school has exceeded her expectations and provided an environment where she feels supported and better prepared for her future. For a student who once questioned whether she would finish school, workplace learning has helped connect a childhood ambition with a practical career pathway. theindustryschool.com.au

SOLUTIONS
TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
Finances, joint ventures, secret deals and trust issues are on the table! Monday’s full moon highlights hiccups involving self-esteem and/or financial management. Strive to be less impulsive and extravagant, and more cautious with cash and credit.
Monday’s earthy full moon (in your sign) emphasises your practical side, so do your best to handle current situations in a suitably sensible and pragmatic fashion. When it comes to a romance, work partnership or joint venture, avoid getting stuck in a rut.
With the help of the full moon, use the power of your imagination and intuition to get to the bottom of a problem that’s been bothering you. If you listen to the wisdom of your inner voice (and pay attention to symbolism in your dreams), then it will point you in the right direction.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)
VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)
The silvery, ever-changeable moon is your power planet, and many sensitive Crabs feel emotionally volatile and vulnerable when the moon is full. This week’s full moon is in earthy, stable Taurus, so you’ll feel more grounded (and less moody) than usual.
Get cracking, Cats! The full moon and Mercury activate your career and domestic zones, so relationships with work colleagues and members are highlighted. But Mercury is retrograde (and Pluto squares the sun), so avoid being bossy and controlling.
Virgo – when it comes to romantic relationships, do you have high expectations? Have you placed your partner (or imagined partner) on a towering pedestal? With love planet Venus and Mercury (your ruler) both currently retrograde, stop expecting the perfect soulmate.

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)
LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)
It’s time to replace confrontation with cooperation! Venus (your ruling planet) is in retrograde mode until November 14. So, the more you focus on the needs of loved ones, the happier everyone will be. You’ll be more proactive about finding solutions to partnership problems.
Many Scorpions love the spectacle of Halloween celebrations, as Scorpio (ruled by Pluto – god of the underworld) is the sign that rules the dark, mysterious parts of life. This week’s stars will help you get into a super intense and imaginative mood.
The full moon (and retrograde Mercury) increase your enthusiasm for assisting those in need. The more you lend a hand, the better you’ll feel and the more friends you’ll make. With Venus reversing through your peer group zone, you could revisit an old friendship.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)
PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)
The sun, full moon and retrograde Mercury activate your peer group zones, which could lead to hasty words and impulsive actions. And some cash-strapped Capricorns could also face complicated issues involving finances and friends.
Retrograde Mercury and the sun are in your career zone, while the full moon lights up your family zone. So, try to get the balance right between professional progress and domestic peace. And then lean slightly towards harmony at home.
The sun is transiting through your travel and education zones, so you’re keen to book an adventurous holiday or plan a new course of study. But hidden tensions could bubble to the surface with a family member, neighbour or work colleague.

BUILDING A RESILIENT FUTURE Sunshine Coast Council’s new design guide offers practical ways to protect homes from flooding, reduce damage and prepare for extreme weather.
W
ith flooding and severe weather posing growing challenges, Sunshine Coast Council is urging residents to consider resilience when building or renovating. Council has released a new Flooding and Coastal Resilience Design Guide, developed with resilience specialists JDA Co, to help homeowners and industry professionals design properties that better withstand extreme weather, reduce damage and recover faster. Council principal engineer and guide co-author Nadia Guterres says resilience needs to be considered before disaster strikes. “Flood resilience is about planning rather than reacting afterwards. Every design decision you make before a flood or storm event can reduce the damage, disruption and recovery costs that follow,” Ms Guterres says. Flood risk is not limited to homes beside rivers or creeks. “Many of us often assume flood risk only applies to waterfront properties, but numerous affected properties aren’t located next to waterways. “Drainage issues and overland flow can impact homes right across our region.
“Understanding your property’s particular risks is always the first step in choosing the right flood resilience strategy for your property,” she adds. Flood-resilient design can reduce repair bills, speed up recovery and potentially ease long-term costs associated with damage and insurance. Sunshine Coast Council environment and liveability councillor Maria Suarez says research by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority shows resilient retrofits may help homeowners return to their properties sooner after flooding. “Some homeowners reported returning within days or weeks
rather than facing stressful rebuilds lasting many months,” Cr Suarez says. “Every dollar spent improving resilience can help avoid many more dollars spent in future repairs. “Design approaches like raising floor levels, using flood-resilient materials and protecting services like electrical systems can deliver long-term financial benefits as well as peace of mind.” Cr Suarez recommends homeowners obtain a council site report for the proposed planning scheme to identify relevant flood, stormwater and coastal hazard mapping. “This guide gives designers and homeowners a clear pathway forward,”
she adds. “Translating mapping and technical planning information into practical design options makes it easier to understand what solutions are likely to work for your particular site.” Although the proposed planning scheme has not yet been formally adopted by council, residents planning a new build or renovation are encouraged to consider the information now. Seven ways to improve flood resilience: Check your risk: Review council’s flood mapping and obtain a Site Report. Raise living areas: Elevate habitable floors above the minimum design flood level. Protect essential services: Position electrical systems, hot water units and air-conditioning above flood levels. Choose resilient materials: Consider tiles, polished concrete and fibre cement sheeting. Allow water to flow: Use permeable fencing. Manage runoff: Use rainwater tanks, swales and water-sensitive landscaping. Clear drainage paths: Avoid obstructing natural drainage routes.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water
Well peeps, it’s all kinda crap. But this time of year is expected to be nothing more. El Niño is going to spice things up, apparently, and I don’t think in a good way. I remember reading a book by 2007 Australian of the Year Tim Flannery called The Weather Makers. Everything that he predicted is happening. And yet they took away his research money because he spoke up. I believe his research is still funded, but by public donations. The takeaway from his book is that storms are going to become more intense, so strap yourself in. Now, where’s my sunscreen and umbrella?
