From the editor One of the things I love about living on the Sunshine Coast is watching our region grow and evolve, while still holding on to the things that make it such a special place to call home. Our cover story this issue looks at the long-awaited Sugar Road and Maud Street upgrade in Maroochydore, with demolition now underway after more than 20 years of planning. We take a look at what the project will mean for the region's future, as well as hearing from a couple who share their memories of the Maud Street home they called theirs for 53 years. We're also taking you to two of our favourite coastal destinations with our Meet Me in Mooloolaba and Meet Me at the Wharf features. Whether it's a favourite spot to grab a bite, a familiar face or simply somewhere to spend a sunny afternoon, there's always something to love about these beautiful pockets of the Coast. And, of course, we haven't forgotten about looking after ourselves, with our health feature offering plenty of food for thought and inspiration. I hope you enjoy this issue as much as we've enjoyed putting it together. There's a little bit of everything and, as always, plenty of wonderful local stories to share. Happy reading!

IN BRIEF
HONOURING THE PIONEERS BEHIND HELICOPTER RESCUE SERVICE
Bradley Schafer with the car he donated
CAR DONATION WILL HELP COAST FAMILY REBUILD A mother and her children who escaped domestic violence have received a donated car to help them rebuild their lives and regain independence. They were handed the vehicle by a local resident through charity Aus Living Support at its Nambour Op Shop. Donor Bradley Schafer says he is happy to help: “I wanted to offer practical support to our community. Access to a car can mean greater independence and make it easier to access opportunities and stay connected with support. I am grateful to the charity for helping us make this contribution.” Aus Living Support CEO Ian Harrison says the act of kindness demonstrates the impact practical support can have on families in crisis.
LifeFlight has named a road at its Sunshine Coast base Des & Barbara Scanlan Drive. The tribute recognises the couple as founding members of the Sunshine Coast Helicopter Rescue Service (SCHRS), which launched in 1979 and became part of the LifeFlight organisation in 2013. The Sunshine Coast Helicopter Rescue Service began with a single rescue helicopter operating beside the former Big Cow attraction at Yandina. Fellow founding members of the SCHRS with the LifeFlight team ‘Big Cow’ was emblazoned on the chopper’s tail. Over the following decades, the says the recognition is a fitting tribute service grew through strong community to two people whose legacy continues support and made a lasting contribution to be felt across the Sunshine Coast to aeromedical care in the region before community and in aeromedical joining LifeFlight Australia (formerly care today.

STUDENTS ENCOURAGED TO APPLY AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE As Year 12 students across the country sit their final exams, more than 160,000 applications have already been lodged for tertiary study in 2027. Applications for Semester 1 next year remain open, but students are encouraged to apply as early as possible, as some courses have special entry requirements or earlier closing dates. Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) aims to continue to support students who may face personal or financial hardship, health challenges, or disruptions to their academic environment during their studies. QTAC’s Educational Access Scheme (EAS) is designed to support students who have faced challenges that have negatively impacted their most recent studies. Last year, QTAC received more than 10,000 Year 12 EAS applications: an increase of 6 per cent from 2024. Of those applicants, 90 per cent received an offer to higher education for 2025 study. Queensland applicants can find course and application information at qtac.edu.au
CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON REFRESHED BIRTINYA CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT Work has started on one of the Sunshine Coast’s most significant projects, set to deliver 2600 homes, employment and infrastructure. Birtinya Central could be home to about 5200 residents, support about 4200 jobs and generate around $149.8million in
annual retail, hospitality and lifestyle spending. During the development phase, the project is expected to support up to 964 full-time equivalent jobs annually. Stockland Development director Matt Patullo says the start of construction comes at a pivotal
time for the Sunshine Coast. “Birtinya Central will help meet some of the Sunshine Coast’s biggest opportunities and challenges over the coming decade – from housing supply and job creation to infrastructure investment and preparation for Brisbane 2032,” he says.

COVER STORY
THE PROJECT AT A GLANCE The upgrade: widening Sugar Road and Maud Street from two lanes to four between Bungama Street and Wises Road. Properties acquired: 45 properties across 35 lots on the western side of Maud Street. Demolition: began in mid-September this year and is expected to continue in stages for about six months. Detailed design: expected to be completed by mid-2027. Major construction: expected to begin on Maud Street after detailed design, subject to council budget decisions. Sugar Road: further planning and investigations are underway to determine future property acquisitions. A house being demolished on Maud Street.
MAJOR MILESTONE FOR MAROOCHYDORE TRANSPORT UPGRADE As homes and commercial buildings make way for a major transformation along Maud Street in Maroochydore, the long-awaited upgrade marks a significant new chapter for one of the Coast’s key transport corridors. WORDS: Abbey Cannan and Lucinda Dean.
A
long-awaited transport project is taking shape, with 45 properties acquired to make way for a four-lane corridor. For more than two decades, plans to transform one of Maroochydore’s key transport corridors have largely existed on paper. Now, the first major signs of change are becoming impossible to miss. Homes and commercial buildings are being demolished along Maud Street as Sunshine Coast Council begins the Sugar Road and Maud Street Transport Corridor Upgrade. The council has acquired 45 properties across 35 lots on the western side of Maud Street between Bungama Street and Dalton Drive, securing all the land required for that section of the project.
WHAT IS HAPPENING? – The project will eventually widen Sugar 10 My Weekly Preview | November 5, 2026
Road and Maud Street from two lanes to four between Bungama Street and Wises Road, providing two lanes in each direction. The upgrade will also introduce separated walking and cycling paths, signalised and raised priority crossings, new landscaping and shaded pathways. A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson says detailed design is underway and expected to be completed by mid-2027. “Major works on Maud Street are expected to commence when the design is complete, but the project’s full timeline and construction of all stages are subject to future council budget deliberations,” council says.
WHY IS THE ROAD BEING UPGRADED? – Sugar Road and Maud Street form one of the main approaches into central Maroochydore from the south, connecting surrounding residential areas
with businesses, services and the developing city centre. The project also will support development around the Maroochydore City Centre Priority Development Area, where new commercial, residential and community facilities are reshaping the region’s urban centre. The council says the upgrade is intended to accommodate increasing traffic volumes while discouraging motorists from using nearby residential streets as shortcuts. Improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists is another priority, with dedicated pathways and new crossings designed to reduce conflicts between different road users. Although demolition is underway, the project has been planned for more than 20 years. The council has been liaising with affected property owners since 2014 and
began progressively purchasing land in 2016. A draft concept design was released for community feedback in 2023. At the time, divisional councillor Joe Natoli said more than 80 per cent of survey respondents had indicated support for an upgrade. “The community’s ideas and inputs from community consultation informed further investigations by council, resulting in an updated concept design,” he said.
A NEW ROAD AHEAD – For Carole and David Fuller, the road upgrade has meant saying goodbye to a place filled with more than five decades of memories. The couple purchased their home at 113 Maud Street in 1972, raising their children there and expecting to remain in the property for the rest of their lives. But after 53 years, their home was acquired to make way for a left-turn lane from Maud Street into Trinder Avenue. myweeklypreview.com.au

A council spokesperson previously told Sunshine Coast News the property was acquired “through agreement with the owners”. “In determining purchase prices, council relies on the guidance of a professionally qualified independent valuer to ensure the offer reflects fair market value,” the spokesperson said. The Fullers subsequently moved into a townhouse complex on Bradman Avenue. Despite their experience, the
couple emphasised they were not opposed to progress. “The one constant was our home that we intended to stay in until it was on to the next life,” Carole says. “We understand we are luckier than many. We have a roof over our head, our health and each other.” DEMOLITION UNDERWAY – Local construction company Evans Built has been appointed to undertake the removal works.

planning for the Sugar Road section remains less advanced. The number of properties potentially affected along Sugar Road has not yet been confirmed. WHEN WILL IT BE FINISHED? – Despite the progress along Maud Street, there is no confirmed completion date for the entire corridor upgrade.

“Demolition works will continue to be phased over the next six months, to reduce impacts to our community,” a council spokesperson says. During demolition, two-way traffic will remain available along Maud Street, although temporary traffic control measures and pedestrian diversions may be necessary.

Jo Greenwood, Cynthia-Lynn Phillpotts and Corrina Vinke with their Thank You Awards presented by Cancer Council Queensland CEO Matt Gardiner
GENEROSITY CELEBRATED From fundraising events and community initiatives to decades of volunteering, Sunshine Coast locals have dug deep for a cause close to many hearts, raising more than $1.7 million for Cancer Council Queensland this year. Their efforts were celebrated last month at the Cancer Council Queensland 2026 Gratitude Event recognising the people who help make a difference to Queenslanders affected by cancer. The event was part of a series of gratitude celebrations held across the state from September to December, acknowledging the commitment of fundraisers, donors, volunteers, community partners and supporters. Long-term supporters were also recognised for their dedication, with several reaching significant

milestones of 30 and 35 years of service. Cancer Council Queensland Brisbane North regional development specialist Amy Wallace says the Coast community continues to make a meaningful difference through its generosity and commitment. “Our Sunshine Coast volunteers, fundraisers and supporters are nothing short of heroic,” Mrs Wallace says. “Every dollar donated, every dollar raised and every hour volunteered translates into something deeply human: a safe place to stay, a trip to treatment, someone to help navigate a difficult situation, or simply knowing that you don’t have to face cancer alone.” Cancer Council Queensland chief executive officer Matt Gardiner says the events provide an opportunity to recognise the people whose ongoing support help the organisation deliver its work: “It is a privilege to meet, recognise and celebrate the incredible people in our communities across Queensland and to honour their legacy of support.” He says the combined efforts of donors, fundraisers, volunteers and community supporters help make the cancer experience easier for patients and families. The celebration is a reminder of the difference local generosity can make, providing practical assistance, support and hope to Queenslanders facing cancer.

SCRUBBING UP WELL FOR A CONVERSATION Funky healthcare worker uniforms act as a reminder to check in with colleagues and promote good mental health.
W
ith November shining a spotlight on men’s mental health, a Sunshine Coast nurse is hoping to get more blokes talking, with a
little help from their work uniforms. The Conversation Scrubs, launched recently by local label Hey Sister Scrub Club in collaboration with healthcare podcast Unscrubbed, are
designed to make checking in on a mate a little easier. Featuring small icons including a coffee cup, fist bump, brain, heart, moustache and dumbbell, the scrubs offer simple prompts to encourage conversations about how people are really feeling. For Hey Sister founder and practising registered nurse Stephanie Moore, the idea was inspired by what she sees every day on the hospital floor. “As nurses, we see what happens when blokes don’t speak up,” Ms Moore says. “They’ll tell you they’re ‘yeah, good’ right up until they’re not. “So we put the conversation starter on the uniform. You don’t need the perfect words. You just need to start with ‘g’day’.” The collaboration with Unscrubbed, a podcast hosted by orthopaedic surgeon Dr Joe Coory and nurse practitioner Jake, also aims to raise funds for local men’s health charity Grab Life By The Balls. For every set of Conversation Scrubs sold, $20 will go towards the charity, with Hey Sister and Unscrubbed each contributing $10. A further $5 will be donated from every scrub cap sold. Dr Coory says the initiative is a reminder that healthcare workers, who
spend much of their time caring for others, need to look after themselves. “Healthcare workers spend all day looking after other people and are often the last to look after themselves,” he says. “If a set of scrubs gets one bloke on a ward to say how he’s really going, that’s a win.” With just 150 sets available, the campaign has a fundraising target of $3000. And while the collection has men’s health at its heart, the scrubs are designed to be worn by everyone. “Made for the brothers, worn by everyone,” Ms Moore says. “Most of our customers are women, and they’re usually the ones getting the blokes in their lives to talk. “Now they can wear the reminder.” Hey Sister Scrub Club began in January last year when Ms Moore launched the business from her home. It has since grown to supply nurses across Australia and New Zealand, with orders still packed by a small local team from her garage. The Conversation Scrubs are priced at $99 a set, with caps costing $24.95. They are available now through heysisterscrubclub.com.au while stocks last.

a brain tumour after being diagnosed with ependymoma: a rare cancer that can form in the brain or spinal cord. Her family first became concerned after Alarah experienced an unusual sensation in her arm. Further testing revealed the tumour, and she was taken to Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane for surgery.
Five weeks after the operation, her mother Holly Maginness shared an update that Alarah was recovering well and had been cleared to return to school before radiation was due to start on November 3. “We are so happy with how beautifully she has healed and with the outcome of her surgery,” Holly wrote on October 20. “After everything she has been through, we are incredibly proud of her strength and bravery.” The clearance will allow Alarah to spend eight days back at school, with some restrictions in place. For her family, the return represents a precious break from hospitals and treatment. “We want Alarah to have the opportunity to feel like a normal little girl again,” Holly says. “School gives her purpose, joy and something to look forward to. “Being able to spend time with her friends, get back into a little bit of routine and see that life still goes on is so important to us. After the last few weeks, these little moments of normality mean more than ever.” Alarah is expected to begin seven weeks of radiation, five days a week, which will continue until close to Christmas. “Unfortunately, our journey is far from over,” Holly says.
“We know this next chapter will bring its own challenges, but we will continue to take each day as it comes and do everything we can to support our beautiful girl.” A GoFundMe page, started by Kayla Drummond and Alarah’s aunt Sarah Milner, has raised more than $16,000 towards an $18,000 target. The fundraiser was created to help Alarah’s parents Holly and Matt manage the financial impact of caring for their daughter while she undergoes treatment in Brisbane. Community support has become a major source of comfort for the family. “Your love and support have truly helped our family through this incredibly difficult and life-altering time. We honestly cannot put into words how much it means to us,” Holly says. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing by us during the hardest time of our lives. Your kindness, generosity and ongoing support have helped us more than you will ever know.” For now, the family is focusing on Alarah’s return to school and the small moments, as radiation begins. “For now, we are going to cherish these moments, enjoy seeing her back at school with her friends and make the most of this little bit of normality before the next stage of her journey begins,” Holly says.

MOUNTAIN BIKERS FIND AN AFFINITY WITH THE FOREST Club members have a renewed focus on and respect for the environment in which they compete and have fun. WORDS: Abbey Cannan.
R
espect for the forest is at the heart of a revived mountain bike club helping children develop riding skills, confidence and a deeper connection with nature. Noosa Trailblazers Mountain Bike Club, based at the Wooroi trail network in Tewantin National Park, has operated as a
volunteer-led, not-for-profit organisation since 2010. The club also plays a hands-on role in caring for the trails, working with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and relying on volunteers, grants and community support to keep the network maintained. But just a few years ago, the
club was close to disappearing. Club coach Shane Flynn says a poorly attended annual general meeting in late 2022 left the organisation at risk of folding. A rescheduled meeting brought members back together and helped spark a renewed focus on younger riders. In February 2023, Shane and club president Chad Thordarson launched the Wooroi Wildlings youth program. Chad and Shane built the program around one key principle: respect for the forest, yourself and others. “With an organic explosion of frothing grommets and encouraging mums and dads to join in, it wasn’t long before the club had 50-odd junior members added to the books,” Shane says. “An average Saturday morning ride could be anywhere between 20 to 40 riders hitting the trails.” Shane points to a quote from environmentalist David Suzuki as a guiding influence: “Unless we are willing to encourage our children to reconnect with and appreciate the natural world, we can’t expect them to help protect and care for it.” Shane says the message resonates strongly with his own concerns about the
environment: “In my lifetime, 60 per cent of the planet’s forest has been destroyed. “Someone out there needs me to help plant their seed. “Mountain biking is my platform to deliver; the forest is the teacher. “It’s that simple. The forest is calling and I hear it.” The club now runs weekly Wednesday and Saturday rides and has expanded further through its Gravity Enduro Race Team and The Sisterhood: a female-only riding group open to all skill levels. For club secretary Nicola Hoey, the impact reaches far beyond riding. “The guys provide exquisite and consistent male role modelling,” she says. “They exhibit fun, self-discipline, kindness and respectful behaviour creating a safe and secure place for confidence to grow. “The skills my son has learnt have percolated down into many areas of his life including a huge improvement in school attendance.” Nicola’s son, 11, says the club instantly felt like home. “I still don’t like school but it’s much easier to get through it when I know there is another place where I feel like I belong,” he says.

COMMUNITIES TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS AND GIVE THANKS AT REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICES Sunshine Coast residents will gather at services across the region on November 11 to honour those who have served and sacrificed for Australia. Communities will pause for a minute’s silence at 11am on Remembrance Day to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in service, those who returned home wounded or ill, and those who continue to serve today. Originally known as Armistice Day, the occasion marks the anniversary of the end of fighting in World War I on November 11, 1918. More than 60,000 Australians lost their lives during the conflict, while about
150,000 others were wounded, gassed or taken prisoner. Today, Remembrance Day honours all Australian service personnel who have served and sacrificed in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

ORANGE CUPS SPARK VITAL CONVERSATIONS A splash of orange is appearing with morning coffees across Caloundra as local cafes join a campaign encouraging conversations about violence against women. Zonta Caloundra has partnered with cafes and community venues to distribute bright orange takeaway cup sleeves for the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the annual 16 Days of Activism against GenderBased Violence. The campaign runs from November 25 to December 10, with orange used as a symbol of hope and a future free from violence against women and girls. Organisers chose coffee cups because a daily coffee run provides a simple opportunity to bring the issue into everyday conversation. “Violence against women often thrives in silence and isolation,” a Zonta Caloundra spokesperson says. “When someone hands you an orange cup first thing in the morning, it breaks that silence and opens the door to meaningful dialogue.” Participating venues include Cafe Sicily, Joe Crow and Stormbird, Lovett’s Place, Caloundra Library, Declan’s at
Caloundra Mountain Bike Track, Kings Beach Surf Club, Alex Surf Club, Murray’s and Cenzo’s. People are also encouraged to wear orange, scan Zonta Caloundra QR codes, support local shelters and share the campaign online. Support is available through DVConnect Womensline on 1800 811 811 and 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732. In an immediate emergency, call 000.

Cr Christian Dickson Division 6
Projects near completion We’re not yet in the holiday rush, but with local projects reaching the finish line to deliver a healthy, connected community, it almost feels like Christmas is coming early in Division 6.
Pickleball courts complete The eight new pickleball courts at Mooloolaba Tennis Club have been completed and are open for play, bringing residents of all ages and abilities more opportunities to stay active, social and connected. The project was jointly funded by the state government, Sunshine Coast Council and Mooloolaba Tennis Club. A huge ‘thank you’ to the dedicated volunteers and members of Mooloolaba Tennis Club who helped bring this vision to life. This is the result of years of planning, advocacy and collaboration, demonstrating what we can achieve in our division when we work together.

HERE FOR A GOOD TIME, NOT A LONG TIME As we head towards Christmas and the summer school holidays, tourism and hospitality businesses are gearing up for their biggest trading period of the year. And alongside the holidaymakers enjoying everything the Sunshine Coast has to offer, there’s another kind of visitor playing a valuable role behind the scenes. Working Holiday Makers are part of our summer workforce. They work alongside local staff in everything from cafés and restaurants to accommodation, tours and attractions. Chances are that you’ve met a few yourself. They might have made your morning coffee or served you dinner at your favourite restaurant. And if you’ve ever struck up a conversation, you’ll know they’ve usually got a pretty good story about how they ended up here. But what I find particularly interesting
is what happens when they clock off. For many Working Holiday Makers, the money they earn here helps fund their Coast adventure. They’re eating out, booking surf lessons, catching up with friends and exploring the region on their days off. It’s easy to think of them simply as seasonal workers, but they’re visitors, too. And the money they spend flows straight back into our local cafés, restaurants, attractions and other businesses. It’s a point the federal government risks overlooking, with plans announced to change Working Holiday visas as part of its efforts to reduce net overseas migration. The proposed changes would introduce further restrictions, potentially significantly reducing the number of Working Holiday Makers able to stay in Australia. Our advocacy is one small piece of a much larger effort by the tourism industry to seek the exclusion of Working Holiday Makers from the government’s net overseas migration reduction targets, recognising their temporary presence and the role these visitors play in communities like ours. Working Holiday Makers play an important role in our local economy, but their time in Australia is temporary. That’s a distinction worth recognising. After all, they’re here for a good time, not a long time.

MY OPINION
BEWARE: OUTRAGED HYPOCRITES AHEAD
IN THE RACE OF OUR LIVES
Ashley Robinson is shaking his head over how pig-headed some people are about certain ideas, while supporting them in other contexts.
Jane Stephens describes how the recent loss of her mother provided a poignant reminder of how precious everyday life is.
L
ast week, I wrote about people booing racehorses, which I found quite bizarre – only to run across another weird thing this week. There has been a bit of an uproar about Kawana Waters Surf Club’s Annual Pig Racing event which is on this Saturday. There have been petitions going around and media attention, with concerns over the pigs’ welfare when they are tasked with running about 20m or so against their peers, helping to raise funds for lifesaving. Now, I do have a disclaimer for any form of animal racing for human entertainment. If you firmly believe that any animal racing should be stopped, I respect your opinion. I don’t totally agree, but I do understand. So, if you are in that category, let me say this column is not about you. This is about all the other people who are outraged about pigs racing and their welfare. I am told the person who runs this event looks after his pigs extremely well. I believe this is a wonderful family day where kids and the pigs seem to enjoy themselves for a good cause. The pigs go at their own pace around a little track. They aren’t forced to sprint and
they get a bowl of milk at the end. If you’re outraged by this event but placed a bet on the Melbourne Cup, this column is aimed at you. Remember, no one is riding these pigs with a whip in hand. And if you’re concerned about their fate once they’re too slow to race, yet you’re neither vegetarian nor vegan, this column is aimed at you, too. If you sign petitions (or happily become a keyboard warrior on this subject) with a bacon sandwich in the other hand, this column is for you. It reminds me of the furore I found myself in the other day about a community group I volunteer for. We are trying to build a sports club to support the Falcons rugby league, Brothers rugby and other community groups. The application included gaming machines, like most other licensed clubs in this state. This, of course, caused outrage – which I get if you are 100 per cent against gambling and anything associated with it. If that’s you and you don’t gamble, buy lottery tickets or follow the Broncos, Lions or any other club that is partly supported by licensed premises, I totally respect your opinion. To the rest of the people in glass houses, pot and kettle may ring a bell.

n a few days, my mother would have celebrated her birthday and, this year, it is bittersweet. While birthdays are the celebration of life, after someone dies they become reminders of absence – and that hurts. Mum’s life is at a permanent stop, while the rest of us keep moving forward, whether we feel ready or not. Last weekend, a few months after her death, I completed the Noosa Triathlon. I have done it before and there was nothing extraordinary about the performance. I am in the middle-aged, everyday-entrant category, carrying the usual collection of aches, niggles and doubts. I do these events for joy: my goal is to finish as best I can. Yet this event’s build-up was sharpened by awareness honed by loss. Endurance sport encourages us to focus on improvement. We note times, distances and heart rates. We are constantly measuring ourselves against who we were last year or who we want to become. By our mature years, that comparison is particularly unforgiving as bodies no longer respond quite so eagerly to ambition. But death shifts the purpose of training
a little. The swim, bike and run sessions stop being about just performance and became something much simpler: evidence that we are alive, healthy and able to move. Every kilometre carries a reminder that none of those is guaranteed. On race morning, I looked at the hundreds of people preparing to push their bodies through an event that would leave them tired and sore. Hundreds of ordinary people had functioning lungs, beating hearts and bodies capable of carrying them forward. They had the ability to breathe hard during exercise and recover, and to be tired because they had pushed their bodies rather than because illness had ravaged it. None of that is promised. All of it is precious. Death makes life’s brevity impossible to ignore. None of us knows how many birthdays remain or how many opportunities we will have to walk, run, swim, ride, dance, explore or simply move through the world under our own power. The high from the event will fade, as it does. But what remains is a quieter lesson: appreciation matters as much as achievement. Today, I can move. And that is enough.

MY OPINION
Fergus McCarthy
Ord Minnett, Buderim
WHY NAILING YOUR RETIREMENT STRATEGY CHANGES EVERYTHING For many of us on the Sunshine Coast, the ultimate dream is simple: transitioning from the daily grind to a lifetime of Saturday mornings. We picture long lunches at Mooloolaba, morning walks along Noosa Main Beach, and the freedom to travel without checking a calendar. But as the finish line approaches, a critical question shifts from a distant thought to an urgent reality: how do you ensure the wealth you’ve built will fund the lifestyle you want for decades to come? When it comes to funding a decades-long retirement, the vehicle you choose and the investments you hold matter just as much as the amount you save. While property and traditional savings have their place, the Australian superannuation system remains a commonly overlooked wealth-building environment. In your peak earning years, super shouldn’t be just an automatic deduction on your payslip that you never think about. For some pre-retirees, strategies such as concessional (tax-deductible) contributions or catch-up
contributions may reduce their current tax bill while helping to build their retirement savings. Super is also generally taxed more concessionally than other savings, which is why how you use it matters. However, maximising your wealth is only half the battle. The most complex puzzle isn’t how you accumulate your money, but how you structurally invest it and prepare to draw it down. Stepping away from a regular salary to rely solely on your accumulated wealth is one of the most significant emotional and financial shifts you will ever make. Yet, too many Australians treat this monumental milestone as a guessing game. They look at a lump sum figure, cross their fingers and hope it lasts. A plan replaces uncertainty with clarity. It shows you how inflation, everyday living costs, market ups and downs, the balance between growth and defensive investments, and the way your super and savings are structured for tax could shape your retirement, so you can make decisions with your eyes open. After a lifetime of hard work, you deserve to step into your next chapter feeling prepared. If retirement is within the next 10 years and you’re not feeling confident about your plan, book a complimentary 15-minute discovery meeting.

HUMANS OF COMPASS
JAMES MCMANIS: COMING FULL CIRCLE
W
hen I joined Compass in 2007 as a community support officer, I thought I was starting a new job. Looking back, I realise it was the beginning of a journey that would shape my career and the way I see people. My role was to support trainees to develop employment skills, build confidence and discover meaningful work. Every day, I saw determination, resilience and potential. Compass focused on what people could do, recognising strengths and possibilities rather than limitations. The trainees taught me as much as I taught them. Their persistence, humour and willingness to keep trying showed me the importance of believing in someone so they can believe in themselves. After leaving Compass, I continued studying and became a clinical psychologist. I now have my own practice, working with children, adolescents and families across the Sunshine Coast and Gympie. Although my job title has changed, the purpose hasn’t. The values I experienced at Compass still guide my work: seeing the person before the diagnosis, building genuine relationships and supporting people to recognise their strengths. I’m grateful that my connection with Compass has continued. Over the years, I’ve returned to deliver professional
development training to staff, sharing knowledge while continuing to learn from an organisation that puts people first. More recently, I’ve worked alongside Compass, community leaders, Gympie Regional Council and our state Member to explore the vision of a Compass Farm in Gympie. Inspired by the farm at Hunchy, the hope is to create a place where people with a disability can develop practical skills, gain vocational experience and connect with their community through meaningful work. For me, that feels like coming full circle. Nearly 20 years after walking through the doors, I’m still proud to be connected with Compass. Those early lessons remain part of who I am and how I work today, reminding me how much can grow from taking the time to see someone’s potential and giving them the opportunity to discover it for themselves.

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)
TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
With Mars (your ruling planet) and Jupiter in your joy and creativity zone, the key to happiness and fulfilment this week is expressing your colourful inner child in passionate and proactive ways. Your trust, intimacy and destiny zones are also activated by the new moon.
Things improve as the week progresses. After three weeks in retrograde mode, Mercury moves forward in your relationship zone on Saturday (at 2.55 am Sydney time). And then Venus (your ruler) also moves forward (at 11.29 am Sydney time).
Hey, gung-ho Gemini … hasty remarks and sudden actions could land you in a heap of hot water. With Mercury (your ruling planet) and Venus still retrograde until Saturday, pace yourself, otherwise you’ll have problems with family, friends and/or work colleagues.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)
VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)
There could be friction early in the week, when Mercury and Venus are both still retrograde, which could amplify a friendship problem or a domestic drama. Aim to calm troubled waters with a dash of Cancer charm and a double dose of Crab diplomacy.
Monday’s new moon activates your home zone, so it’s a good week to play gracious host or start a creative DIY project. And Tuesday is terrific for neighbourhood get-togethers and catching up with friends, as Mars (in Leo) links up with Venus.
Mercury (your ruler) is still in retrograde mode (until Friday/ Saturday), plus Mars and Jupiter are transiting through your solitude zone. So, this week is a time for meditation, contemplation, rumination and relaxation, as you reboot and refresh from within.
LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)
Tuesday favours creative group projects. Then (after six weeks in retrograde mode) Venus (your ruler) finally turns direct on Saturday when Mercury moves forward as well. So, relationships should slowly start to improve, as tensions lessen and communication becomes clearer.
Expect a dramatic, stop-and-start kind of week. There’s a new moon (in your sign) on Monday, and then Mercury finally turns direct (in Scorpio) on Friday night/Saturday morning. So, start flexing your adaptability muscles and expect some thrills and spills along the way.
Sagittarians can be feisty folk, but don’t allow yourself to be drawn into an intense argument. It would be better to watch from the sidelines. With the new moon in your privacy zone, life will also run more smoothly if you incorporate a spiritual ritual into your daily routine.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)
PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)
Have you been hesitant (or afraid) to try something new? This week, your hopes-and-wishes zone is activated by the new moon (on Monday), plus Mercury moving forward (on Saturday, at 2.55 am Sydney time). So, it’s time to dream big dreams and set ambitious goals.
With Venus reversing through your travel zone, many restless Aquarians will be feeling cooped up, housebound and a bit stir-crazy. Thank goodness Venus finally moves forward on Saturday (when Mercury moves forward too).
Are your aspirations for the future ambitious enough? Monday’s new moon favours ruminating over big-picture ideas. And there’s no room for false modesty or passive Piscean procrastination as you enjoy talking, texting, posting, promoting, socialising and circulating.

IS A PARTIAL OR TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?
USE THESE THREE TIPS TO STAY SKIN-SAFE THIS SUMMER Summer is here, and with it comes more time outdoors with sunshine. Most of us know the importance of avoiding sunburn, but protecting our skin involves more than simply preventing burns. So, what else should we be doing to reduce our risk of melanoma and other skin cancers? Sunburn causes immediate damage, but UV exposure can also harm our skin without causing a burn. This damage accumulates over time, increasing our risk of skin cancer. In sunny Queensland, this is particularly important. Here are three important tips to protect your skin and detect skin cancer early: 1. Protect your skin. Whenever the UV index is 3 or above, follow the ‘Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide’ advice. Even short periods
outdoors can contribute to cumulative UV damage. 2. Check your skin. Every two to three months, look for anything sore, changing, abnormal or new (SCAN). If something concerns you and isn’t resolving, have it checked promptly. 3. Have regular, professional skin checks. These are particularly important if you have many moles, previous skin cancer, a family history of melanoma, fair skin or significant past sun exposure. SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre doctors have advanced skin cancer training and provide comprehensive care, including detailed skin checks, surgical and nonsurgical treatments, and advanced 3D Total Body Photography.

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.
As a surgeon with extensive experience in both procedures – including robotic-assisted and quadriceps-sparing techniques – I work closely with patients to assess which option offers the best chance of returning to the activities they love. Speak with your GP or orthopaedic specialist to find out if partial knee replacement may be a suitable alternative to total knee surgery. WORDS: Prof Daevyd Rodda MBBS, Dip.

YOUR HEALTH
WHO’S BEHIND YOUR SKIN TREATMENT? Skin treatments – peels, lasers and more – are easier to book than ever, often online and within days. What a booking page rarely shows is who is assessing your skin and who is responsible if something doesn’t go to plan. Specialist plastic surgeon Dr Ryan Livingston says those are the first questions worth asking. Ask for the name and qualifications of the person performing the treatment and anyone supervising them. Doctors and nurses are registered health practitioners and you can check them on the public register at ahpra.gov.au. Since 2023, only doctors with specialist registration in surgery, obstetrics and
gynaecology or ophthalmology can call themselves a ‘surgeon’. Make sure your skin has been properly assessed. Not every spot or patch is cosmetic. A changing mole, persistent rough area or new pigmentation deserves a medical opinion before any treatment. Treating pigmentation without knowing what it is can delay a skin cancer diagnosis. Get clear answers before you book. Before committing, ask: • what are the risks? • what is a realistic recovery time? • how many sessions will I need? • what is the total cost in writing? • who manages a complication if one occurs, and is a doctor available? A good consultation also leaves room for a different answer. “Sometimes the right recommendation is a different treatment or no treatment at all,” Dr Livingston says. At Plastic Surgery Queensland, dermal therapy and skin services sit within a specialist plastic surgery practice. Where needed, treatment plans can be developed with the practice’s specialist plastic surgeons, who are available when a medical opinion is required.

YOUR EARS ARE WEIRDLY SHAPED ON PURPOSE Next time you catch your reflection and wonder why your ears look like fleshy question marks, know that every curve has a job. Evolution, it turns out, was a surprisingly fussy sculptor. The visible part, called the pinna, works like a tiny satellite dish. Its ridges and hollows catch sound waves and funnel them toward the ear canal. But the real magic is subtler: those folds bounce incoming sound around in slightly different ways, depending on where it came from. A noise above you reaches your eardrum with a different echo pattern than one from behind you. Your brain has spent your whole life learning to decode these tiny distortions, which is how you can tell a mosquito is hovering near your forehead rather than your ankle. This is especially useful for judging whether a sound is in front or behind you. Without the pinna’s quirky geometry, everything would blur together, and you’d have much more difficulty telling a friendly “hello” from a stranger creeping up on you. The ear canal adds its own boost. Shaped like a short tube, it resonates at certain frequencies, amplifying sounds in the range of human speech by up to around 15 to 20 decibels.
Essentially, your ears come with a built-in gossip enhancer. Even the lopsided placement matters. Having one ear on each side of your head lets your brain compare timing and volume, pinpointing sounds with remarkable accuracy. So, the next time someone teases you about sticking-out ears, remind them: you’re simply running premium hardware.

YOUR HEALTH
CONVENIENT, EXPERT CANCER CARE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE
CATARACTS: WHEN VISION BEGINS TO CLOUD Cataracts are one of the most common age-related changes affecting our eyes, particularly in people over the age of 60. A cataract develops when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, gradually affecting the way light reaches the retina. While cataracts are not usually painful, they can have a significant impact on everyday vision and quality of life. The symptoms often develop slowly, making them easy to overlook at first. You may notice a gradual decline in vision, with objects appearing less sharp or colours seeming faded. Glare can also become troublesome, particularly when driving at night or looking towards bright lights. Many people also experience increasing difficulty with fine details, such as reading small print, recognising faces or carrying out close-up tasks. For people whose cataracts are significantly affecting their daily activities, the only available treatment is surgery. During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens implant.
The procedure is well established and can restore the clarity that has been lost. An additional benefit of modern cataract surgery is the potential to reduce dependence on glasses. Depending on your individual eyes, lifestyle and the type of lens you and your doctor choose, you may be able to become spectacle independent for some or even all everyday activities. If you are noticing changes in your vision, an eye examination can help determine whether cataracts or another eye condition may be responsible. Visit bestpracticeeyecare.com.au

FROM CHRONIC NECK PAIN TO AN ACTIVE PREGNANCY: DANNI’S REMARKABLE ANF THERAPY JOURNEY
INDUSTRY EXPERTS
After surgery, months of recovery and trying numerous treatments for persistent neck pain, Danni was losing hope. Then, an unexpected discovery led her to Cluzie Clinic. Danni’s ordeal began when she lifted a heavy washing basket and felt a sudden snap in her neck. The injury damaged discs in her neck and placed pressure on her spinal cord, leaving her in debilitating pain and unable to work. “I tried everything to avoid surgery,” Danni explains. “I went through osteotherapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic care and acupuncture. Nothing was helping.” Surgery relieved the nerve pressure causing pain down her arms and tingling in her fingers, but the neck pain and stiffness remained. “I was still really stiff and sore every single day,” she recalls. Then, her mother discovered an article about ANF Therapy in a Sunshine Coast magazine, prompting Danni to investigate Cluzie Clinic. Despite her scepticism, she booked an
NOOSA
appointment with Claire Dunkley, who runs the clinic. Danni says she noticed a difference after her first session, with further improvements following her second. “I was in the car and suddenly realised I could move my neck quickly to look behind me,” she says. She also began sleeping better and no longer felt the constant need to massage her neck. Now, more than 36 weeks pregnant, Danni says she remains active, regularly walking and attending the gym. Although some discomfort remains, she is grateful for the changes she has experienced. “From where I was before, the change has been amazing,” she says. Visit cluzie.com

Give your bones more strength
Rethinking the male jawline
Did you know that about 6.2 million Australians aged 50 and over had poor bone health in 2023? Osteoporosis can develop quietly, with a fracture sometimes being the first sign. The good news is that bones respond to being used. Bone loading means placing appropriate mechanical stress on bones through activities such as brisk walking, stair climbing and resistance training. Progressive resistance exercise at least twice a week, combined with suitable weight-bearing and balance activities, can help maintain bone and muscle strength and reduce the risk of falls. This is where a physiotherapist can make a real difference. A physiotherapist can assess strength, balance, mobility and fracture risk, then develop an exercise program suited to your individual needs. They can teach safe movement techniques, modify exercises when needed and progressively increase the challenge as your strength improves. Bone health is a lifelong investment. Regular exercise, adequate nutrition, sufficient calcium and vitamin D, and appropriate medical management can all contribute to stronger bones, fewer falls and greater independence as we age.
Most men who ask me about their jawline want more: more angle and chin. Very often, though, the problem isn’t too little above the line. It’s too much below it. Beneath the platysma, the thin muscle sheet under the skin, sits deep fat that liposuction can’t safely reach. Below that lie the digastric muscles and submandibular glands. In many men, these structures blur the jaw’s edge, however lean they are. Deep neck reduction addresses this directly. We remove excess deep fat, contour bulky digastric muscles, reduce prominent glands where needed and tighten the platysma into a firm sling. The result is a sharper angle between chin and neck. Removing volume, though, leaves skin and muscle that need somewhere to go. For most men, this means pairing the reduction with a neck lift through incisions around the ear, so the platysma and skin can be redraped from the side. A well-defined neck beneath an underpowered jaw can still look soft. This is where fat grafting earns its place. Using a patient’s own fat, placed deep and in small amounts, we can build along the jaw border, strengthen the angle and add projection to the chin. In men, the aim is structure, not fullness. Fat integrates naturally, but not all of it survives, and some men need a second, smaller session. For major skeletal change, implants or jaw surgery may be the better tool.

Early detection and screening for lymphoedema and unexplained swelling are essential to improving community health outcomes and preventing longterm complications. Lymphoedema is a chronic condition caused by impaired lymphatic drainage, resulting in persistent swelling, discomfort, reduced mobility and an increased risk of recurrent infections. Undiagnosed swelling is often overlooked or attributed to ageing, weight gain or poor circulation. However, it may be an early indicator of lymphatic dysfunction or another underlying medical condition requiring investigation. Delayed diagnosis can lead to progressive tissue changes, reduced quality of life and more complex treatment needs. Community awareness and accessible screening pathways are vital. Early identification enables timely clinical assessment and appropriate referral and intervention, including compression therapy, exercise, skincare and lymphatic management. By improving education among healthcare professionals and the community, we can encourage earlier presentation, reduce preventable complications and improve long-term outcomes. Recognising swelling early is not simply about managing symptoms. It is about preserving function, independence and quality of life.
We start our planning for your cataract surgery with an understanding of how you live. Reading, driving at night, working at a computer and playing sport place different demands on your vision. New-generation lenses offer more choice across distance, intermediate and near vision. The latest design, though, is only useful when its strengths suit your eyes and priorities. Every lens involves compromises. Monofocal lenses usually focus at one distance, with glasses needed for other tasks. Extended depth of focus lenses broaden vision, particularly for distance and computer work. Trifocal lenses include near vision, with potential trade-offs involving haloes, glare and contrast. Your eye health also matters. Dry eye, retinal conditions and previous surgery influence the options worth considering. At EyeHub, we combine knowledge of latest lens technology with an understanding of your lifestyle and visual goals. Our assessment considers what you want to see, how you use your vision and which compromises, if any, you find acceptable. We choose the lens to suit the person. Not the other way around.
Low back pain affects millions of Australians and can stem from muscle strain, disc issues or joint degeneration. Thankfully, several effective treatments are available. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy are often the first line of care, focusing on reducing further insult and introducing exercises that strengthen muscles, improve flexibility and reduce pain. This plan can be customised to target the root cause of pain and improve long-term mobility. For persistent pain, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may be recommended. This minimally invasive procedure uses heat to disrupt nerve signals from painful joints, offering relief that can last from six months to more than a year. Another option includes musclerestorative procedures. These aim to repair or recondition damaged or imbalanced muscles through specialised therapies or the use of implantable devices. These treatments help restore function and reduce recurrence of pain. Each option should be discussed with your healthcare provider to create a personalised plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle. Early intervention can lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat tears. The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that surround the shoulder joint. This procedure is performed using an arthroscope: a small camera that allows the surgeon to view and repair the damaged tissue through small incisions in the shoulder. During the surgery, the torn edges of the rotator cuff are prepared and then reattached to the bone using sutures or anchors. Arthroscopic techniques offer several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery times and reduced risk of complications. After arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, patients typically undergo a structured rehabilitation program to gradually strengthen the shoulder and improve their range of motion. Full recovery can take several months, but many patients experience significant improvement in pain and function following the procedure. Overall, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive, safe and effective option for treating these tears, helping patients regain shoulder strength and mobility.

GET YOUR HOME READY FOR HEAT AND STORMS WITH THESE SUMMER ELECTRICAL SAFETY TIPS High temperatures, storms and festive lights together can put a huge strain on power circuits in the home.
I
t’s the first 34C day of the year. The lounge room air-conditioning has been running since lunch, the kids have the bedroom unit on, too, and just after 7pm, the whole house goes dark. Out at the switchboard, the safety switch has dropped. That scene plays out from Caloundra to Noosa every year, yet summer electrical safety rarely makes the pre-season to-do list. It’s a pattern the team at TLC Energy sees across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Heat, storms and festive lights all land on the same circuits at once, and the after-hours call-outs pile up. Here’s what to check now, what to unplug when a storm warning goes out, and how to read a safety switch that keeps tripping. Coast humidity has air-cons working hard well before Christmas. Ten minutes now can save you a hot, sleepless night later. 1. Think about what each circuit is
myweeklypreview.com.au
Key takeaways • Older Coast homes often weren’t wired for several air-conditioners at once. Get the load checked before the first heatwave. • Test your safety switches every three months, as Energex and Ergon Energy suggest. • When a severe storm warning goes out, unplug electronics and stay inside. • A safety switch that trips again straight after a reset is pointing to a fault. Leave it off and call a licensed electrician. carrying: many Coast homes built in the 1970s-’90s were wired with only a couple of power circuits. Since then, most have picked up a few split systems, a garage fridge and maybe a pool pump. Most people blame the air-con when the power drops on a hot afternoon. Often, it’s the circuit behind it, shared with half the house. 2. Test your safety switches: a safety switch (also called an RCD, or residual current device) cuts the power in a fraction of a second if it senses electricity
leaking to earth, which is what happens when someone touches a faulty appliance. Press the button marked ‘T’ or ‘Test’ on each one. It should flick off straight away. Flick it back on and reset the clocks. If it doesn’t trip, it isn’t protecting you. Some older homes have a safety switch on the power points only, or none at all. 3. Walk around your outdoor power points: outdoor power points cop salt air, sun and sprinklers. Check the covers close properly, the plates aren’t cracked or

What to unplug when a storm warning goes out: when the Bureau of Meteorology issues a severe thunderstorm warning, unplug anything with a circuit board – TVs, computers, gaming consoles, modems and chargers.

Soaring ceilings and expansive floor-to-wall glazing create an incredible sense of scale and light, while natural stone, timber and soft earthy finishes bring warmth and a beautiful understated elegance. A brand-new 11-metre pontoon completes the waterfront lifestyle.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water
Confusing lyrics ... In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry: “If her daddy’s rich, take her out for a meal. If her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel.” Ummm … you be the judge. Seems a bit harsh. And 50 ways to leave your lover and he only tells you four? Maybe there is a part 2? Not much happening on the surf front. What was that song from The Radiators? You know it!
