Put to the test NOOSA’S emergency service crews were put to the ultimate test at Teewah recently - and they passed with flying colours. The emergency crews responded to a simulated beach crash involving a four-wheel-drive, which had collided with a mini bus carrying tourists. A total of 14 people required immediate evacuation and crews were required to work together to achieve the fastest and safest response times. Continued page 4.
Noosaville’s music fest NOOSA could soon be host to its very own major music festival, with a largescale concert planned for Noosaville in September. Expected to run from noon to 10pm, the live music festival will feature big-name Australian acts performing alongside local talent, in what is
planned to be a “grass-roots, familyfriendly event”. East Coast Originals’ member and event organiser Marcus Pluckhahn said over half the acts will be local bands and solo artists, with the festival showcasing Noosa talent who will share the stage with some big acts. With an expected ticket price of
only $40 for an adult, the concert will offer a cost-effective alternative to other festivals such as the Caloundra Music Festival where event-goers can pay $174 for a weekend pass, or the Big Pineapple Festival with a starting price of $72 for an adult. Marcus, who helps to run the free, monthly community concerts Peregian

Originals and Cooroy Originals, said the concert will be family-friendly and is designed to help the community, with local businesses and tourism operators expected to benefit from an influx of visitors to the region. The funds raised from the event will go directly to the Noosa Tigers’ AFL Club as well as provide financial
support for both the Peregian Originals and Cooroy Originals, which are organised by the volunteer-based East Coast Originals’ team. Community consultation is currently underway with a public meeting held at the Tigers’ clubhouse last night to hear the concerns, as well as support, from local residents and businesses.
