Rescue work never done Illness and injury lead pelicans and seabirds on a steady path to the Twinnies, who never say no to helping those in need.

Bridgette and Paula Powers are quick to respond to a call to help pelicans and seabirds in distress from Noosa and Gympie to Brisbane and no matter how challenging the rescue of a sick or injured bird they “never give up”.

But as the costs mount up Covid-19 has halted the stream of visitors to their rescue centre and reduced their donations.

Since March it’s only been the twins, their mother Helen and friend, Ken, to manage a full house of birds of all shapes and sizes.

Can you help the Twinnies continue their work?

Divided on AirBnB The ability of property owners to use their properties for short term accommodation divided the community during public forums held to discuss the new Noosa Plan and divided the Council when the Noosa Plan was adopted by a majority at a special meeting last week.

During the meeting Cr Amelia Lorentson relayed the astounding fact that Council had received only 32 formal complaints from 2014 to 2020 relating to short-term letting. In comparison Council received 356 dog complaints in the 2019-2020 year.

Council later confirmed the figures but noted it did not reflect phone complaints received by officers that were not logged nor the submissions received during planning consultation that were both for and against the use

of houses for short-term accommodation.

Council’s Environment and Sustainable Development director Kim Rawlings said new planning regulations were not introduced purely as a result of complaints.

“Short term accommodation is a land use and a planning scheme is required to regulate all land uses,” she said.

“In determining how to regulate such a land use a range of issues are considered, such as appropriate location, the consistency of that land use within each zone, residential amenity and likelihood of impacts on adjacent or surrounding land uses, community feedback etc.”

Mayor Clare Stewart said the 2020 Noosa Plan had many good attributes but she would not support the plan that made short-termaccommodation an inconsistent use in Noosa’s designated low-density housing zone. “It has the potential to impact house prices. It will

drive up the prices in high and medium density housing zones,” she said.

She said no impact assessment data had been taken and this was a significant issue with state government.

Cr Stewart said many essential workers lived in medium and high density housing zones who would be affected by increased housing prices and subsequent increases in rentals.

“Affordable housing is an issue for us all,” she said.

A condition of approving the Noosa Plan by the Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning required Council to monitor the outcomes relating to short-term accommodation, tourism and housing supply across the residential zones for the next two years. The monitoring needs to include comparison data to demonstrate the

relevance of the scheme, the economic and social benefits across the residential zones, housing supply, diversity and tourism.

Cr Stewart said Council needed to amend the plan now not in two years.

Council heard there were 6000 properties listed for use for short-term accommodation and 50 per cent of properties have been or could be used for STA. “The purpose of the planning scheme was to manage and guide land use. It is not the purpose to consider individual investment. A planning scheme can influence a market,” a council officer told the meeting.

Cr Amelia Lorentson said Noosa needed a planning scheme built on fairness and equity that would allow all properties the ability to be used for STA not just a select few.

The editor’s desk The Noosa Plan 2020 has been adopted but that will not be the end of it, at least not the end of debate over short-term accommodation.

While the state government has ordered a two year monitoring of STA and its impact on the community the community has already begun monitoring the effects on property sales, rentals and tourism.

School holidays have ended, the majority of the tourists have gone home and with our Victorian regular visitors back in lockdown the Noosa economy will again come under the spotlight.

Still I think I can say we are all happy we are here and not in Victoria.

Sporting groups are returning to play and we are moving freely around the community with barely a mask in sight.

This week Phil Jarratt caught up with visiting historians who have been delving into the region’s past and discovering some fascinating facts that even involve dolls. With luck Covid-19 restrictions will ease enough for the rest of the community to hear more from them.

And while the country battles coronavirus it’s inspiring to hear about the work of a Noosa vet who has his own battle against a canine virus, Parvo, a n d his aim to prevent it kill the thousands of pet dogs it does each year.

Covid business survey results in Nearly 80 per cent of Noosa businesses managed to remain open during the most restrictive period of the global Covid-19 pandemic, but many had to endure a dramatic drop in turnover.

That’s one of the findings from the Noosa Business Roundtable survey, conducted between 29 May and 22 June.

From the 689 responses, 83 per cent reported a drop in turnover with about half experiencing a fall in revenue of more than 60 per cent.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the findings are a sobering reminder of how Covid-19 hit the local economy and the potential risks associated with any future lockdowns.

“The results certainly paint a devastating picture and indicate how challenging it is for our business owners,” she said.

Most business owners admitted to experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety, but were focussed on doing what they could to remain viable.

The survey revealed a reduction of about 2,119 jobs during the pandemic, with 64 per cent of business owners admitting they reduced staff.

A third of the businesses said they managed to avoid cutting staff.

Sixty-five per cent had taken up the JobKeeper assistance package or secured rent relief from landlords.

Economic Development manager Anthony Dow said the results provide critical baseline data to shape recovery programs.

“The honest feedback is appreciated and gives us the ability to better understand the

current climate and help focus our representation to state and federal politicians,” he said.

It’s not all doom and gloom though.

About 44 per cent considered there are opportunities to grow their business, while about a third of respondents said they were exploring digital-technology initiatives such as apps or ecommerce.

There are plans to conduct the survey quarterly to monitor the ongoing impacts of the global pandemic and to help shape recovery programs and future advocacy.

“We really want all business operators to provide feedback so we can properly gauge how the economy is progressing,” Mr Dow said.

Cr Stewart said Council was committed to helping all sectors recover.

“With our nine point recovery plan, the top priority is to help the Noosa economy to revive and thrive,” “We have delivered a number of initiatives in the council budget to generate jobs and boost economic activity and we’ll continue to listen to operators and assist where we can,” Cr Stewart said.

Poles apart on Plan

By Margaret Maccoll The community response to the new Noosa Plan has already been mixed following its adoption by Noosa Council last week.

Noosa Shire Residents and Ratepayers Association president Adrian Williams praised the plan, saying he was relieved short term accommodation (STA) was now considered an inconsistent use in low-density suburban areas.

While Noosa real estate agent Dan Neylan described the new Noosa Plan as “an assault on people’s property rights” and believes it’s impact on Noosa’s tourism will be “incredible”.

Mr Williams commended Council for adopting the plan.

“After scare campaigns, misinformation and the State Government placing monitoring conditions on the Wellington council’s hard line against AirBnB’s there was real concern

our new council may reject the new rules to limit the investor buyout of our suburbs, “Mr Williams said.

He recalled a public forum held by NSRRA in 2018 he said was “heavily attended by residents unhappy their streets were being turned into tourism party precincts”.

“Aside from leaving suburban residents vulnerable to AirBnB or party house investors, if council didn’t pass the planning scheme, four years and over $3 million dollars in ratepayer money spent on public consultation would have been wasted,” he said.

Mr Neylan said one of the biggest complaints from tourists was the lack of 5-star accommodation in luxury houses but with Noosa Sound now a low-density zone stock will decrease further. One sale of a property on Noosa Sound has already fallen through because the prospective buyer discovered the property

would not be eligible to be used for STA, he said.

Mr Neylan said some of the places where STA will be permitted will be in older units in Noosa Heads which have previously been rented longterm by hospitality staff.

Already they were being pulled out of longterm rental to be renovated and put on STA, he said.

“What was put forward to increase affordable accommodation is actually driving them out. It’s all coming to pass now,” he said.

Mr Neylan said despite repeated requests to council during consultation there was never evidence produced of STA being a major source of complaints from residents.

“The damage that will be done in two years will be incredible,” he said. “It will impact people’s incomes and people’s assets. This is not the type of thing to happen in this environment.”

Global pandemic expert here to help Former World Health Organisation (WHO) pandemic expert, Dr Ian Norton, who was seconded to resolve the Ruby Princess is continuing to support Noosa businesses in managing the challenges surrounding Covid-19 to safeguard our community.

The Hastings Street Association and Noosaville Association who earlier this year took the proactive step to appoint Dr Norton given his practical experience in dealing with Covid-19.

Following the industry sessions with the retail, catering, and accommodation sectors in June, this on-going engagement for a Covid industry event on Wednesday 22 July at the Sofitel Noosa, provides further insight, discussions and learnings.

It is vital for the Noosa community, as a favourable tourist destination, to have the business owners work collaboratively to be prepared, manage and respond to the challenges of Covid.

“We know Noosa is a favourable tourist destination, and as business owners, it is essential we are proactive and have methods in place to safeguard our staff and our

proach by Noosa’s Business Associations we have invested in expertise to the benefit of all operators to work together to help keep our community safe.”

Noosa Show is off, but holiday remains The Noosa Show Society has cancelled the 111th Noosa Country Show, which was previously postponed to October this year as a Community Show.

Noosa Show Society president Charlie Pattison said the decision was not an easy one to make.

“Unfortunately, and after further lengthy discussions within our committee, along with Queensland Ag Shows (formerly known as QCAS), our Show sub-branch, Noosa Council, major stakeholders and the best interests of

the community during the Covid-19 pandemic, we have finally had to cancel the 2020 Show entirely,” Mr Pattison said.

“I would personally like to apologise to everyone who has offered their support, help and enthusiasm with our scaled down Community Show we had planned for October this year.

“The new outbreaks of Covid-19 have created major issues for us to have to deal with and there is still no guarantee that we would be able to run the Show at all this year.”

Mr Pattison said it had been a very trying

Division over AirBnB use From Page 1 Despite voting against the plan along with Cr Lorentson, Cr Stewart praised the efforts involved in creating the new Noosa Plan 2020 which has completely re-written the 2006 Planning Scheme under new legislation and involved extensive community input, review and feedback from various State agencies, including the Minister.

Changes were required by the Minister to update mapping to reflect the latest state mapping of koala habitat and bushfire risk, and to ensure consistency with the Planning Act. Two key amendments, supported by all councillors, were tabled at last week’s Special Meeting.

Councillors unanimously endorsed a two year monitoring to ensure the plan was strong enough to achieve more affordable and diverse housing choices for those in need.

There will also be monitoring to ensure the plan achieves the objectives it seeks to and create increased diversity regarding industrial land and industrial precincts.

Councillors also voted unanimously in support of pursuing a Local Law for short term letting which includes the associated code of conduct to regulate short term letting.

Council are required to publish a comprehensive guide explaining the regulatory requirements for operating short-term accommodation in the shire within three months of the adoption of the plan.

Cr Stewart said staff were to be commended for their diligence and commitment to achieving an adaptable plan and a plan to guide the future planning of Noosa.

“It’s important we now ensure the scheme remains effective and achieves its objectives of delivering balanced growth while protecting the amenity and lifestyle of Noosa residents,” she said.

predicament for the society to be in and one that will be ongoing for an indefinite period of time.

“The final contributing factor for us in cancelling the 2020 Show was the loss of thousands of dollars of funding that was withdrawn due to Covid-19,” Mr Pattison said.

The Noosa Show Day is a gazetted public holiday, and it has ben confirmed that Friday, 11 September 2020 will still be a public holiday in the Noosa Shire.

The Plan explained After nearly four years of work, three rounds of consultation, nearly 2000 submissions, $3.2million in costs and extensive legal checks, Noosa Plan 2020 was adopted by Council last week. But what does it actually mean for residents? How will this 20-year vision for our future actually affect us?

Meals for those in need

By Abbey Cannan Local charities have teamed up with Noosa Council to provide meals for community members doing it tough.

The partnership with Oz Harvest Sunshine Coast and Integrated Family and Youth Service (IFYS) has already served up more than 4000 meals.

The initiative builds on the service local chef Shane Bailey started when, during the Covid-19 restaurant closures, he cooked up more than 2000 meals to help Noosa locals in need.

The IFYS Urban Angels Community Kitchen in Nambour has taken over the cooking, using food supplied by Oz Harvest Sunshine Coast.

Council staff collect the meals and drop them off to Noosa charities for distribution to those in need.

Jane Spies, Manager of the Hub Food Outlet & Opp Shop at Noosa Church, said the meals were well received by people experiencing anxiety and financial stress since Covid-19 hit.

“To have a free, pre-cooked meal given to them is like they are receiving an unexpected present. Customers are so appreciative and overwhelmed by the generosity of the volunteers who make the meals, it gives them a sense of community,” she said.

Salvation Army Noosa and Coolum Community Engagement Worker Barbara Fennan said it was a similar story among the locals they assist.

“One homeless community member recently told me that he loves receiving the meals - they taste great, they are nutritious meals he usually wouldn’t be able to have and he heats them up on a BBQ plate. He is very thankful.”

In addition to meal deliveries, Council has chipped in funding to support the partnership.

“This is a fantastic example of many hands working together to help those in need,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

The Urban Angels volunteers have already cooked up almost 4000 meals for Noosa residents, in addition to those Shane Bailey cooked up while restaurants were closed.

“Each of those meals was so gratefully received that it was clear a similar service was needed all year round to help residents struggling to put food on the table,” the Mayor said.

“Council is pleased to have helped facilitate and support this new partnership, which would not be possible without the dedication of the volunteers who are providing the ingredients, cooking the meals and making sure they get to those in need.”

Urban Angels chef Lapo Trentanove, who joined Urban Angels after losing his hospitality job during COVID-19, said he was pleased to be able to help those in hardship.

He now works full-time at the kitchen and volunteers extra hours when needed.

“I am very grateful. This is the best job I have ever had in hospitality. It is an amazing sensation to be able to help people who really need it,“ he said.

Council Community Development Officer Kylie Finigan, who is helping coordinate the project, said volunteers were looking for additional help to pack the meals.

“Birgit Sowden at Urban Angels would be pleased to hear from anyone who can assist,” she said.

Heritage co-ordinator Jane Harding with historians Ray Kerkhove (centre) and Jonathan Richards.

Our resident historians

By Phil Jarratt A somewhat kitsch souvenir Aboriginal doll, a thick file of coroners’ reports into coastal drownings, an Indigenous jokester’s prank on our first tourists - these are the curious threads that bind Noosa’s ambitious first HistoriansIn-Residence program.

Commissioned and funded by Noosa Council Heritage Library, the ground-breaking history program early this year invited applications from qualified and experienced historians to become residents at Noosa Library while they researched and wrote papers on lesser known aspects of our Noosa story. But eminent Queensland historians Dr Jonathan Richards and Dr Ray Kerkhove had been selected for less than a week when the Covid-19 lockdown tore a gaping hole in the planned program of field research and interaction with the local community.

But, says Heritage Co-ordinator Jane Harding: “While Covid has changed the shape of the program a little and it’s going to run a bit behind schedule, we’ve been able to progress it this far by virtue of the fact that these guys have so much already in place, so much stockpiled material that they’ve been waiting for an opportunity to place in context. Fortunately, they both had enough background information at home to make a lot of progress remotely. Now that research facilities have opened again, they have the opportunity to fill in the missing pieces.”

Jonathan Richards is one of Queensland’s foremost archival researchers, and is the author of The Secret War, the most authoritative account of the Native Mounted Police and the colonial frontier war. Ray Kerkhove, who describes himself as “more an interviewer than an archivist” has been associated with the University of Queensland’s Aboriginal Environments Centre since 2017, and has also been a Visiting Fellow at Griffith University’s Harry Gentle Resource Centre, which focuses on pre-1859 Queensland heritage. His expertise is Indigenous historical landscapes and material culture, especially of southern Queensland.

Although both these leading academic historians have frequently focused on Aboriginal themes, for the Noosa project they have re-

Celebrating historic moments. A big crowd gathers for the official opening of new bridges at Tewantin in October 1929.

Picture: GARY CLIST searched areas of our history that cover European settlement and integration, as well as the First Nations.

Jonathan’s starting point has been the village of Cooran. He says: “Cooran is the oldest town in Noosa Shire and I think they feel a little bit overlooked. It was the halfway point on the Gympie to Tewantin coach route, then the railway came through and started a long, slow decline. When the rail came in Cooroy eclipsed Cooran (as the entry port for Noosa) so you had this whole history of one town against the other. Eventually they did build the CooroyTewantin road down that difficult hill, so that’s the basis for my second story, incorporating the Noosa branch railway plan, which is a story in itself.”

“Then,” says the learned historian, “I’m stoked to be putting to good use my morbid fascination with inquests over many years by preparing a history of drownings (Jonathan occasionally delivers a popular presentation called ‘Death at the Beach’) in the Noosa River.

The common theme is boats. Inquests tell us so much about people’s lives, as well as their

deaths, and over the years I’ve covered, from 1890 to 1960, we learn a lot about the types of people who lived in or visited Noosa. And, as far as Noosa is concerned, the moral of the story is stay away from the river mouth and don’t go anywhere near the bar.

“I love the way these three stories work together. They talk about Noosa emerging as a destination and the ways people got there, and how Cooran and Cooroy were impacted by it more than anywhere else.”

Ray’s stories emerge from his ongoing work with the Kabi Kabi over decades, the first of them concerning the origins of Australia’s first souvenir dolls. He says: “Before we had swagman dolls we had Aboriginal dolls, and I found in my research this woman called Sarah Midgley whose family, the Barons, moved to Noosa in the 1870s when her father started working at the sawmill at Mill Point.”

The fascinating story of Sarah Ellen Midgley begins with her two Aboriginal playmates at Lake Cootharaba, Widgeon and Kummera, who had such a profound effect on the young girl that more than half a century later, as

a successful Brisbane businesswoman, she began making dolls in their image, and was soon selling them to doll collectors around the world.

Says Ray: “She modelled her dolls from characters in her book which I was able to find in the John Oxley Library, and Tewantin elder King Billy was one of them. It gives us a window into the interaction between indigenous people and the settlers. Are they offensive today? Not from the research I’ve done with the Kabi Kabi. In fact, the key people are quite excited about the historical matches between the dolls and real people.”

Another of Ray’s stories deals with the mythology of local place names. “The stories about the name Noosa coming from Aboriginals saying, ‘No, sir’ and Tewantin - ‘Tea-wantim’ - from them asking for a cup of tea, really puzzled me, particularly as they relate to King Tommy, the pioneer tour operator of the area.

I found the names date back long before settlement when King Tommy would have just been a child, so they couldn’t possibly have been as described.

“I found Tommy had a track record of saying things like that as a joke, or to shock. He said of (Brisbane suburb) Nundah, for example, that his people used to go there to kill and eat missionaries, until one day they turned up and there was ‘nun-dah’ (none there). It’s complete nonsense but it goes to the idea of a kind of Aboriginal revenge through humour, which wasn’t that uncommon.”

As they near the end of the Noosa project, both historians are hoping that Covid restrictions will relax enough to allow them to present their new work through public events and possibly an exhibition, but both say they have benefited from Noosa Heritage’s holistic approach and a willingness to explore historic threads together.

Jonathan: “The more we know, the better questions we can ask. That’s the truth about researching history. I really hope what we do will plant seeds for other people to take on history projects.”

Ray: “That’s one thing about historians - we find significance where others don’t see it. It’s quite beautiful when that happens and you can open other eyes to it.”

Twinnies’ calls for help

By Margaret Maccoll It’s full house at Twinnies Pelican and Sea Bird Rescue with rescued and rehabilitating birds in every available enclosure, but sadly, due to Covid-19, not filled with the visitors who bring with them much-needed donations.

Bridgette and Paula Powers are quick to respond to a call to help pelicans and seabirds in distress from Noosa and Gympie to Brisbane and no matter how challenging the rescue of a sick or injured bird they “never give up”.

The “Twinnies” are widely known for their dedication to their feathered friends and uncanny ability to act as one. At their Landsborough base they provide expert care and much love to numerous pelicans and seabirds as well as the many land birds that are brought to them.

But Covid-19 restrictions have greatly impacted their ability to care for their muchloved flock and they need some help.

“We haven’t been getting visitors coming in.

We had bus groups but that all stopped,” the Twinnies said.

“We’ve had no volunteers.”

Since March it’s only been the twins, their mother Helen and friend, Ken, to manage a full house of birds of all shapes and sizes.

“We’ve got through,” the ever-positive Twinnies say in unison but they’re pleased visitors and volunteers are beginning to trickle back.

Seabirds are expensive to look after. Their fish bill alone is about $900 a week and they like to rest on clean sand. With the addition of land birds, costs include grain and medical supplies.

The birds arrive at the rescue centre for various reasons but fishing line entanglements and botulism are among the most common causes at present. The Twinnies work with RSPCA to care for them.

After warning of the fish odour which is an unavoidable part of life when dealing with sea

There’s a domestic duck never claimed by its owners that they couldn’t now bare to part with and an albino crow destined for a zoo. A pelican hit by a boat has become a permanent visitor. There’s a young cormorant that came in very malnourished and a Nankeen night heron they say bird watchers are very excited to see.

There are a number of kookaburras and lorikeets, a black swan and various wild geese.

A couple of Channel-billed cuckoos which were too young to join the migration back to PNG will remain until they can rejoin the next annual migration. “Last year we had 18 Cookoos,” the Twinnies said.

Outside they have constructed an aviary for birds, particularly young pelicans to improve their flying ability in safety before being released.

But by far the Twinnies pride and joy is Rob, the three-month-old pelican they raised from an egg they found lying in the nearby wetlands where pelicans breed.

“We found this egg. It was stone cold,” the Twinnies said. “We took it and put it in the incubator. Six days later we heard it chirp. It hatched the following day.

“We’d never raised a baby pelican before.

We had watched the pelicans by the dam.

We’ve learnt so much from nature.”

The Twinnies provided the baby pelican a diet of mushed up fish served warm as they mothers would deliver it and Rob has grown

into a magnificent, healthy specimen.

The bond between them is evident as Rob waddles between the enclosures following the Twinnies, chattering to them in his guttural, grunting way.

Should he not be able to be released into the wild the Twinnies hope to obtain a special educational permit for Rob to join them when they visit schools to talk to children about seabirds.

To assist the Twinnies through donations of cash or produce or through volunteering visit www.twinnies.com.au The Twinnies receive calls from across the world asking for advice on various seabirds.

Their mother Helen said the Twinnies success rate at the centre was about 98 per cent.

She would like to raise enough money to provide them with a good hospital and wants them to put together the knowledge they have accumulated in a book.

The Twinnies have always loved animals from their earliest recollections at the age of three.

It was a chance encounter with Steve Irwin when they moved to the Sunshine Coast about 20 years ago when they helped rescue a floating turtle that led them to work at Australia Zoo before branching out on their own.

Watching a woman rescue a pelican one day was a lightbulb moment when they realised “that was it” they would care for pelicans and seabirds.

A wild week Law enforcement on Noosa River

Law enforcement flowing Water safety, drink driving and marine compliance have been under the spotlight in recent weeks in a joint operation being conducted by Noosa Police, Maritime Safety Queensland and the Public Safety Business Agency.

Noosa Heads senior sergeant Ben Carroll said during the June school holidays 12 officers from QPS, MSQ and the Public Safety Business Agency conducted operations utilising four vessels and additional jet skis.

“Officers included marine mechanics, marine surveyors, MSQ and police officers working in a joint agency response,” he said.

“193 vessels were intercepted with 23 marine infringement notices issued for a variety of offences. Eleven formal warnings were issued”.

The operation found some boat operators were in breach of rules when marine mechanics determined their outboard motor’s horse power did not correspond to the engine cowl and some vessels that were intercepted had outdated, insufficient or faulty safety equipment resulting in infringements.

Noosa Police and Maritime Safety Queensland conducted patrols of the Noosa River and waterways last weekend. They stopped 17 vessels with 28 people on board.

“Police are continuing to record intelligence of vessel operators, particularly juvenile operators, and have records of all prior interactions including warnings and infringements,” snr sgt Carroll said.

“The joint operations will expand into the Noosa World Surfing Reserve to target a number of complaints received around the unsafe operation of jet skis around surfers and swimmers.”

Police have received video evidence from members of the public which have been used in evidence of offences committed by adults and youth in the canal systems and river and have thanked the community for their support.

“The operations are ongoing and planning is already underway to target the September and Christmas School Holiday period through to Australia Day 2021,” snr sgt Carroll said.

When Noosa Police pulled over a 32-year-old Tewantin motorist on Sunshine Beach Road because they thought he was behaving suspiciously they searched his car and located dangerous drugs and $650 in $50 counterfeit notes.

Police charged the man with drugs offences and possession of counterfeit money under the Crimes (Currency) Act 1981. He will appear in Noosa Magistrates Court on 11 August.

This incident was only one of many for Noosa Police on a very busy weekend responding to almost 100 calls and undertaking Covid-19 enforcement activities.

Police responded to 95 calls from Friday to Monday. Over the weekend they made 11 arrests for drug offences and are continuing investigations into eight assault complaints and nine domestic violence matters.

“It is believed the large influx of visitors to the area given the recent lifting of Covid-19 restrictions has played a large part as people travel to the area to enjoy a break,” Noosa senior sergeant Ben Carroll said.

Police attended multiple noise complaints and disturbances across the Noosa area over the weekend including a proposed party of youths, he said.

“Police became aware of a party that youths were planning to have at Peregian Beach on Saturday evening,” snr sgt Carroll said.

“Once organisers became aware police were planning an enforcement response the party was cancelled and hosted at a private residence in Coolum.”

On Friday afternoon police said they tasered a Noosaville man after he ran at an officer brandishing a piece of timber. He was taken into custody and conveyed to the Nambour Hospital for a mental health assessment. Police expect to charge him with serious assault upon police in due course.

Almost 300 random breath tests were conducted netting seven drink drivers.

Snr sgt Carroll said of most concern was the high blood alcohol concentrations of some of those charged.

A 35-year-old Sunshine Beach man was intercepted by police given his manner of driving in Tewantin resulting in him being charged with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .270 per cent, over five times the legal limit. A 63-year-old Noosa Heads woman was charged with a BAC of .216 per cent after being intercepted by police in a random breath test at 9am on Weyba Way, Noosa Heads. A 36-yearold Tewantin woman was charged with a BAC of .217 per cent after being intercepted on Outlook Drive, Tewantin. All are due to appear in the Noosa Magistrates Court in coming weeks.

Police also responded to ongoing complaints of hooning, particularly in the NoosaEumundi Road area. Police have issues 27 infringement notices in the past week as part of ongoing traffic enforcement patrols to target this issue.

In addition, police conducted Covid-19 compliance checks over the weekend at the direction of the Deputy Commissioner and in response to ongoing concerns around patrons within licensed premises not complying with the Chief Health Officer’s Directions.

“Numerous venues across Noosa were checked with all found to be complying with the current Chief Health Officer’s directions within the premises,” snr sgt Carroll said.

“Advice was provided to a couple of venues in relation to queues outside the premises with issues quickly rectified. Licenced venues are reminded to ensure patron queues are monitored by security to ensure social distancing is maintained.

“Police are cognisant of the impacts Covid-19 is having on all businesses and assure business operators our compliance regime is one of compassion, education and compliance as we all work together in response to this pandemic.”

Uniformly wonderful gifts

very own case to keep their belongings in.”

On a recent trip to Isabel Province as part of the 16 Day of Activism, a campaign to raise awareness on eliminating violence against women and children, SIPDP Advisors took time to gift items of clothing to children at the Buala Markets. Not only did the donations pro-

vide a practice gift for those children but it was an opportunity for Advisors and the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) to interact with the community and help deliver important messaging around working with police to end violence against women and children.

A number of items were also donated to the

Christian Care Centre (CCC), an emergency women’s shelter located at the eastern end of Guadalcanal.

Anyone interested in assisting with sewing, cutting out, or unpicking, can contact Yvonne 0413133791 or look at their website Uniforms4kids.com.au.

Starting with the simple intention to clean out her cupboard filled with crowded material, Cooroy resident Yvonne Pattinson founded an incredible charity helping those in need.

A sewer all her life, Yvonne had a life-time collection of “bits and pieces” and anxious not to waste any, decided to make them into clothing for young children.

A friend then asked could she take the clothing to an orphanage she supported in Asia.

In stepped Yvonne’s daughter, Debbie Platz, then a Queensland Police officer.

She pointed out there were many children in Australia who could use clothing and why not use the police uniforms her colleagues and she had to discard.

The idea to repurpose uniforms, saving them from being shredded and ending up as landfill was met with great support and Uniforms 4 Kids (U4Kids) was born.

Eight years later, the Cooroy group of U4kids have made over 2000 items of clothing just this year, reaching destinations around the world including the outer provinces of the Solomon Islands.

Yvonne said the Cooroy group had been very busy sewing clothes made from used Queensland Police, Federal Police and Border Force uniforms.

“We have people in quite a number of places sewing now, but the Cooroy ladies are probably the most prolific,” she said.

“Our main aim was not only to clothe children and save landfill but to bridge the gap between the police and the community and this is working well.

“Border Force give them out to a lot of refugees and the islands and the Federal Police are worldwide so they take them anywhere.”

Yvonne said it was heart-warming receiving feedback from the different locations receiving the clothes.

“We don’t have anything to do with the distribution, so it’s nice to get feedback from people that have had them,” she said.

“Somebody sewing for us said to me a little while ago that it gives you a feeling of purpose.

“I think people as they get on, they stop sewing for their children and grandchildren, and there they are with no sewing to do and it’s nice for them to make something pretty that a young girl or boy will want to wear.

“We made a lot that we sent to Kangaroo Island during the floods and we’ve just sent a load over to Vietnam that are going to all these little remote villages.”

The Solomon Islands Police Development Program (SIPDP) said they were grateful for the continued support received from the wonderful Uniform 4 Kids volunteers.

“Recently we received a large assortment of handmade clothing and pencils cases in Honiara,” a SIPDP spokesperson said.

“The pencil cases were made as a special request and arrived with the added bonus of pencils inside each case.

“These pencil cases were given as graduation gifts to a class of kindergarten students who will be commencing Grade One soon.

Works start on facility

By Abbey Cannan Noosa mayor Clare Stewart along with NoosaCare president Ann Harrap and CEO Megan D’Elton turned the first sod for the new building in NoosaCare’s dementia community on Wednesday 22 July.

The sod turning ceremony marked the beginning of construction on the project, which will include a 32 bed, two-storey residential building and a new welcome centre for people living with dementia and their families.

Located next to NoosaCare’s existing Memory Support Unit, with a view to becoming the largest single provider on the Sunshine Coast of accommodation and themed gardens specifically designed for people living with dementia.

Dementia Australia, the national peak body for people of all ages living with dementia, was consulted on the project.

Ms D’Elton said NoosaCare’s own research and that of other experts around the world highlighted the importance of well-designed spaces and gardens in maintaining capabilities and providing meaningful engagement with the natural environment for people living with dementia.

“We decided to go back to our roots with the design for Cartwright, so we’re going to create more intimate areas with eight bed villas,” she said.

Ms D’Elton said that despite the difficult economic circumstances, NoosaCare was committed to providing a quality service and meeting the high level of demand for dementia services in the Sunshine Coast community.

“The majority of our residents come from

the Noosa, Tewantin and Cooroy areas and we have always been well supported by the community, so it is important to us to be responsive to local needs,” she said.

“It was evident that even though we have 32 beds, we had such a long waitlist for dementia unfortunately from people living in the community, so we felt we needed to expand on that to provide the service to those residents.”

Ms D’Elton said it was great to be able to have Mayor Stewart in attendance for the sod turning.

“It’s a really nice connection, she had her mother-in-law live here and her name was also Clare and she was the mayor of a shire in southern New South Wales,” she said.

“I just think it’s such a nice fit that she comes back and turns the sod to our new extension.”

Ms D’Elton said the new development was expected to be completed by April 2021.

“While we are funding the new development through our own resources we are always looking to go over and above our excellent care and services,” she said.

“Donations and Council grants towards our project, particularly the gardens, would significantly enhance our ability to really do the extraordinary for those who call NoosaCare home.”

NoosaCare CEO Megan D’Elton is excited for construction to start on their new residential building.

Path push to link bike communities Peregian Family and Friends community group met with councillors and staff from Noosa and Sunshine Coast councils last month to discuss options for a pathway linking Peregian Beach and Peregian springs.

A community group spokesman said the next stop in the process was to make contact with the state government departments which control the road and bushland reserves and National Park which the bike paths cross.

In 2018 a community consultation survey run by Peregian Family & Friends identified a cycle and walkway connection between the beach in the east and the schools in the west to be one of the the highest priority projects in the region and one that would improve safety.

“Currently many children are risking their lives by travelling on main highways and crossing busy round-abouts to access the schools in Peregian Springs, from Peregian Beach, Peregian Breeze and Lake Weyba areas,” the spokesman said.

“Every day there is significant vehicle congestion around the schools and surrounding exit roads. Parking at Peregian Beach is always an issue on weekends and if residents from Peregian Springs and Peregian Breeze had a direct bike path option many would leave their cars at home.”

The proposed path would provide a fire break which would assist in controlling future bushfires.

This bike path would also provide an ex-

He suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital where he passed away on 16 July.

Vet battles dog disease

By Margaret Maccoll While the world battles the Covid-19 virus a Peregian Beach veterinarian is waging a war against the Canine Parvovirus that affects about 20,000 dogs a year in Australia and leads to the death of half of them.

About three years ago Dr Mark Kelman joined forces with a like-minded vet and a couple of dedicated pet-lovers to establish an organization, Paws for a Purpose, to help people with their pets.

“There are a lot of organisations that help pets but not many that assist people in need with their pets,” he said.

Paws for a Purpose assists dog owners who are vulnerable or homeless to vaccinate their pets against Parvovirus (Parvo) at heavily reduced cost.

Dr Kelman has just submitted his PhD thesis on the epidemiology of Parvovirus and is keen to reduce the incidence of the virus.

“Socio-economic issues are the biggest risk factor for Parvo, we found,” he said.

“One of the reasons it spreads is people not vaccinating.”

“A lot of animals are euthanized in low socio-economic areas because people can’t afford the treatment, and their puppies caught Parvo in the first place because they couldn’t afford to vaccinate.

“The cost is high for treatment. It costs, on average $1500, but can be as high as $7000 to treat a dog for Parvo. If you can’t afford to vaccinate, you can’t afford the treatment.”

Dr Kelman said about 25 per cent of dogs affected by Parvo are euthanized.

Parvo is a highly infectious disease that causes gastrointestinal symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea and death. It attacks the lining of the intestines and tissues of the immune system such as bone marrow and lymph tissue. The damaged immune system cells are then unable to produce enough white blood

Dr Mark Kelman and Harry cells needed to fight off infections.

The virus is transferred through diarrhea and can survive in the environment for up to a year. The virus can be picked up on people’s shoes or on dogs’ paws on a walk through the park.

Part of Dr Kelman’s research has shown that the disease is harbored in the wild dog populations but we still don’t know if these dogs are spreading disease to our domestic dogs or catching it from domestic dogs, or both.

Paws for a Purpose runs vaccination pro-

grams in Parvo hotspots where there is a high incidence of the disease. These are either volunteer-run pop-up clinics, or utilise vouchers where eligible people such as pensioners can attend a participating vet clinic, for a heavily discounted vaccination to stop Parvo.In Queensland the first clinics have been held in Rockhampton with interest raised to hold them in Gympie and Mt Isa and other areas, Dr Kelman said. But Covid-19 restrictions have temporarily halted the operation of the clinics.

Dr Kelman said the clinics are held in col-

laboration with local councils and involve an array of volunteers including vets, veterinary nurses and dog lovers.

Paws for a Purpose fundraises through the sale of their premium beef dog treats that are produced at Caloundra, packed by Queensland social enterprise charities and sold at vet clinics and pet stores. Donations also help enable the charity to operate sustainably.

Dr Kelman hopes through their work to greatly reduce the incidence of Parvo or even eradicate it.

New TAFE direction After years of determined negotiations with Noosa Council and State Government to secure tenure for the decommissioned Tewantin TAFE site, Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton is disappointed that Council has chosen not to purchase the site, however appreciative of the reasons.

“It has been a long hard haul, and after more than two years of negotiations, the decommissioned site had reached sign off stage prior to Covid 19. We have now received Council’s decision to not progress with the purchase which regardless of the opportunities this site presented, is understandable given the impact of Covid-19 on Council’s financial position,” Ms Bolton said.

Noosa TAFE “It has now been some six years since this facility was closed, and I continue efforts to ensure the site is utilised for the benefit of our community, and thank Council for their commitment to assist where it can in these endeavours.”

Ms Bolton has met with a number of interested parties in the site over the last months,

and State Government is currently commencing negotiations with a provider who is very much committed to ‘reimagining’ education and working with community in this.

“Thank you to Minister Fentiman and her Department for the ongoing assistance over this time. Covid and the ramifications of, have created extra challenges, however I am determined that this site will not sit idle nor deteriorate any further,” said Ms Bolton.

“We look forward to making an announcement in the coming month. By state retaining ownership and leasing, the land title issues would not need to be resolved, thereby expediating it’s ‘rebirth’ which I know will be very welcomed by our whole community.”

Oyster restoration substrate used by TNC.

Experts give river advice

By Margaret Maccoll The Noosa Council majority voted last week to establish a Stakeholder Reference Group to “provide strategic input, local knowledge and expertise” into Noosa River management initiatives.

The CEO has been tasked with establishing the group, which will provide input into the shellfish restoration project and implementation of the Noosa River Plan.

After hours of debate at Noosa Council meetings last week the majority of councillors would not support the inclusion of an historic fishing family representative in The Nature Conservancy’s Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on the project put forward by Cr Amelia Lorentson.

The majority would not support the addition of a councillor as an observer on the TAG, a group of specialists in shellfish restoration, local and state government processes and project management proposed by Mayor Clare Stewart.

Nor would the majority support the inclusion in the project’s monitoring and evaluation plan of “the confirmation of historical numbers of prawn and fish stock and water quality” proposed by Cr Stewart.

The majority did support a call by Cr Stewart to have an independent scientist, enlisted by Council, to peer-review the monitoring and evaluation plan for the oyster restoration project, the methods used, and the data to be collected.

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie said the recommendations from the expert peer review would be built into the plan.

“This review process will add further expertise and rigour to the project,” he said.

Council partnered with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in July last year in what is to be a three-year project, to restore oyster reefs in sections of the river.

Philanthropic organisation The Thomas Foundation provided $1.2 million to the project, to match Council’s $1.2 million commitment.

Councillors Frank WIlkie, Brian Stockwell, Joe Jurisevic and Tom Wegener voted in favour of approving TNC’s project management plan and noting the terms of reference of the projects TAG, Councillors Clare Stewart, Amelia Lorentson and Karen Finzel against.

TNC project manager Craig Bohm said TNC would be doing its own studies of the river, completing a technical shellfish restoration suitability model for the Noosa estuary, including undertaking detailed site analyses to guide the configuration and placement of restoration substrate.

Mr Bohm said TNC plans to progress slowly with the project, taking the time to consult with stakeholders to gain their views, explain their plans and share knowledge as they go along.

New home a good move

By Abbey Cannan

Noosa councillors will visit different parts of the shire on the last Friday every month.

Chance for a council chat Here’s a chance to have a chat to a councillor in a relaxed and informal setting.

Noosa councillors will visit different parts of the shire on the last Friday every month for a community chat and informal catch up with residents.

The Councillor Community Chat sessions start Friday July 31 at Cooroy, Pomona and Sunshine Beach from 10 - 11.30am.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the sessions aim to give the community a voice.

“Councillors feel it’s important to provide a number of ways to engage with the community and these sessions will hopefully achieve that,” she said.

“We will visit different parts of the shire from the hinterland through to the beaches, so residents can be heard and get the opportunity to raise any issues,” “They can pop down, have a chat and even provide some suggestions or ideas,” she said.

“It’s a relaxed, informal way to hear from

as many sections of the community as possible.”

Cr Stewart said councillors are excited about the new concept and hope the community takes advantage of the catch ups.

What’s In A Name Phil Jarratt

Lionel Donovan’s limo fleet and theatre, 1931. Lionel is on the right.

Lionel sealed the deal Unless you’re in the market for a car wash, a dog wash or a new car, Lionel Donovan Drive is one of the most boring streets in Noosaville, although not one of the cheapest. A commercial block will set you back a few million.

Still, this writer likes to imagine old Lionel, one of the Noosa business community’s more colourful characters, ranting from his grave at our modern city fathers: “Is this the best you could do?”

Lionel was the son of John and Eliza Donovan who, along with the Hay and Parkyn families, drove the coastal economy of Noosa Shire in the early 20th century. John bought the Bainbridge Guest House on Hastings Street in 1906, renovated, extended and renamed it Laguna House, which became the dominant Noosa Heads accommodation for the next half-century. Eliza, an excellent chef and hostess, was Noosa’s first grande dame.

Next, the Donovans bought the Royal Mail Hotel in Tewantin, turning the former Cobb and Co coach stop back into a staging post for modern tourists. From his early teens, Lionel, a motor tragic, was assigned the duty of driving a family tourer to Cooroy to pick up Laguna House guests off the Brisbane train.

By 1927 the connections were impeccable: It took approximately six hours to make the 150-kilometre journey from Brisbane to Noosa Heads, but it could be done in one day, barring train delays. Travellers would catch the 8.10am North Coast Mail to Cooroy, arriving just after midday when they would be met by Lionel for the 45-minute drive down the newly-sealed road to Tewantin, arriving at the Royal Mail in time for luncheon. After lunch, the Miss Tewantin would pick them up from Parkyn’s Jetty for the leisurely cruise to their final destination at Noosa Heads, Laguna House. In this way the Donovans had you coming, going, and in between, but nobody complained.

Donovan’s Laguna House.

1929 closed that chapter, but again Lionel was in the thick of the action. With more than a thousand spectators - the biggest crowd ever seen in Tewantin - gathered along Pelican Street and the river banks to witness the biggest occasion in the history of Noosa Shire, a sudden commotion broke out at the front of the line. Only those in the front row or at a higher vantage point could see what happened next, but two young men suddenly appeared at the approach to the bridge and lifted the chain high enough to allow Lionel Donovan to drive his Chevy through, hood down and windscreen folded flat.

A huge cheer went up as the two accomplices - one of them identified as 16-yearold Howard Parkyn, son of the prominent

Picture: SMART COLLECTION businessman who owned the adjacent wharf - dropped the chain and clambered into the car as Lionel accelerated over the bridge, before pulling up on the other side of the river at Goodchap’s Estate. The two policemen in charge of crowd control and the four traffic controllers employed by the Council looked on helplessly, before giving up and joining in with the mirth of the crowd.

During the 1930s Lionel Donovan expanded his fleet of luxury limousines into a thriving business, the Tewantin-Noosa Railroad Service, and built and operated Tewantin’s first talkies cinema, the Mayfair. After World War II he added a fleet of buses to his interests. By now a prominent and respected business figure in Noosa, Lionel kept his larrikin streak. In

1948, sick of delays from the Main Roads Commission in grading and maintaining the road from Tewantin to Noosa Heads, he took matters into his own hands.

The Brisbane Telegraph reported: “A Tewantin business man, Mr. Lionel Donovan, who owns and conducts a fleet of 4 motor buses, has solved the problem of keeping the Gympie Terrace-Noosa Heads main road in trafficable order. He has bought a grader to do the job himself. The Noosa Shire Council has given Mr. Donovan permission to use the grader, provided the work is done under the Main Roads Commission’s supervision.”

He didn’t have to grade the road for too long, but Lionel Donovan remained active in Noosa business until the 1960s.

Help for wildlife warriors

By Abbey Cannan Local disability support charity Sunshine Butterflies ‘Chippies Corner’ program have been working on something special over the last few months.

This program has been creating professional level bird feeders and possum boxes to donate to the wider community.

The initiative started after the bushfires ravaged Australia over the summer and burnt very closely to the disability support service, threatening their facilities, wildlife and Therapy Animals.

The ‘Chippies Corner’ group wanted to create something to give back to the local community and to the local wildlife by providing them with secure environment during extreme weather conditions.

Chippies Corner Support Mentor, Jim Schaefer said, “Its been inspiring watching our Chippies Corner program dedicate their time to producing these possum boxes, using all the correct procedures, timber and non-toxic materials.”

Sunshine Butterflies attracted the attention of the Little Lambs Early Learning Centre after they saw a social media post earlier this year showcasing these handcrafted possum boxes and bird feeders.

Little Lambs immediately wanted to get involved.

They contacted the organisation, who were thrilled to donate both bird feeders and possum boxes to the early learning centre’s unique garden and playground.

Cristina McRitchie from Little Lambs said, “Community involvement is so important to us, as well as supporting businesses and their ventures.”

“Our involvement with Sunshine Butterflies helps strengthen how we teach the children, to interact with others using care, kindness, empathy and respect.”

Sunshine Butterflies members felt the gift of giving when they donated these possum boxes and bird feeders to the children at Little Lambs.

The ‘Chippies Corner’ team were incredibly proud of their hard work and couldn’t wait to donate their finished products to Little Lambs.

Mr Schaefer said due to their sudden closure this year during the global health crisis, they had to pause production of all possum boxes and bird feeders.

“Our members were very excited when we resumed our Chippies Corner program and were approached by Little Lambs to donate to their wonderful pre-school program,” he said.

Local Early Learning Centre Little Lambs will be using these possum boxes and bird feeders to feed their local wildlife at times that they really need it the most.

They will also use this to help educate the children on sustainable gardening and learn about composting food wastage.

These are the kind of local collaborations that help strengthen the community and send waves of kindness to those involved.

“Its been a trying year for us all and it would be great to move forward with joy in our hearts,” Ms McRitchie said Little Lambs and Sunshine Butterflies are coincidentally both celebrating their tenth birthdays this year.

There’s still time to go plastic free

USC Research Fellow Dr Bonnie Quigley testing the antiviral properties of eucalypt leaves.

Local eucalypts could help koalas USC researchers hope a natural antiviral medicine found in the leaves of eucalyptus trees in South East Queensland could be a gamechanger in treating a serious virus infecting Australia’s koala population.

While antibiotics are available to treat chlamydial infections in koalas, there are currently no treatment options available to manage the koala retrovirus (KoRV), a disease that is particularly prevalent in the south east of the state.

In a collaborative project, funded by Gympie Regional Council, researchers tested leaves from 16 eucalypt species from the Gympie area for natural antiviral activity and found some have the potential to inhibit retroviruses.

USC Research Fellow Dr Bonnie Quigley said while the results were preliminary, the project represented the first step in a journey of natural drug discovery by finding koala food sources that could contribute towards a treatment for KoRV.

“The first hurdle has been cleared - local eucalyptus species with potential antiviral activity have been identified. This represents a significant step forward in developing natural and sustainable treatment options for one of Australia’s best-loved animals,” she said.

Eucalyptus leaves are the main food source for koalas. However, this research has established that not all species have the same antiviral potential.

“Some local species may have more promise as natural antiviral medicines than others,” Dr Quigley said.

Along with chlamydia, the koala retrovirus poses a serious threat to the long-term survival of the marsupial and has been strongly linked to koalas developing cancers such as lymphoma and leukemia.

Dr Quigley said the second stage of the project would include following koalas before and after they eat a naturally “antiviral-rich” eucalyptus diet identified in this study com-

pared to a naturally “antiviral-poor” diet.

“This will allow us to see if the levels of koala retrovirus change between food sources,” she said.

“Chemical testing will be used to identify the specific molecule or molecules responsible for the antiviral activity in the leaf samples, and more eucalyptus trees will be tested to ensure the antiviral activity detected is widespread in plant populations.”

The collaborative project team from USC Genecology Research Centre includes Dr Quigley, Professor Peter Timms and Dr Sharon Nyari who are also working on a vaccine for koala chlamydia and KoRV, and plant biotechnology researchers Associate Professor Steven Ogbourne, Dr Trong Tran and Dr Ton Stewart.

Western Sydney University chemical ecologist Dr Ben Moore and Gympie Regional Council’s Environmental Planning Officer Paul Sprecher also collaborated on the project.

More to discover this time around Star Trek Discovery Netflix The little Star Trek show that could is back for a second series on Netflix and let’s just say the bar has been lifted.

This was the first Trek that didn’t focus from the beginning - on the captain of the ship (in fact it’s downright dangerous being a captain on the Discovery).

Instead we see the Star Trek world through the eyes of Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), a science officer on the ship Discovery. She is the human adopted daughter of Sarek (James Fraith), and so sister of Spock (played in this series by Ethan Peck).

The big question is why, if this series is set 10 years before the original show, why has noone ever mentioned Michael before? And this time around we get the answer - setting the scene for an exciting third series set somewhere mostly unexplored in the Trek universe.

For me Discovery was the problem child of the Trek world, with a dark edge but at the same time cartoonish (communications tower

Sarek (James Fraith) made of crystals anyone?) - deliberately trying to be as camp as the original had been accidentally and yet also aiming to be edgy.

This time around, it hits the mark with plenty of build up throughout the episodes to an ending that delivers and explains both series.

Martin-Green is a strong lead and this time around the other characters are rounded out making for a much more interesting series.

Past relic will haunt us all Relic, Stan streaming service Dementia, family curses, demons, a creepy old house and three strong women spanning three generation of one family, Japanese-Australian director Natalie Erika James’s atmospheric and frightening debut is not your usual scary movie.

Set in the Victorian countryside around Melbourne and led by an all-female cast, the Stan Original film Relic tells the story of Edna (Robyn Nevin, The Matrix Franchise), an elderly and widowed matriarch who goes missing, and her daughter Kay (Emily Mortimer, The Newsroom) and grand-daughter Sam (Bella Heathcote, Stan Original series Bloom) travel to their remote family home to find her.

Soon after her return, they start to discover a sinister presence haunting the house and taking control of Edna and are soon fighting for survival.

This isn’t horror for horror’s sake but rather as a haunting metaphor for the ravages of Alzheimers.

Beautifully shot and atmospheric, Relic premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, it was produced by Jake Gyllenhaal (Spiderman: Far From Home) and executive produced by the Russo Brothers (Avengers: Endgame).

A year of atrocious torment 365 Days Starring Anna-Maria Sieklucka and Michele Morrone Rated R18+

The Cole family and their soon-to-be former friends.

‘Tone’ is too much trouble for Maggie The Trouble with Maggie Cole, BBC First/Foxtel on Demand The trouble with ’The Trouble with Maggie Cole’ is it doesn’t feel believable and a lot of that, unfortunately, is down to the tone.

This is one of those shows trying so hard to be gritty and funny and achieving neither - a comedy/drama which is not that funny or dramatic.

A lot of that is down to a script that seems cringy and a plot that never quite gels.

Maggie Cole (Dawn French), the selfappointed oracle of a close-knit community (read local busybody) gives an interview with a radio journalist which turns the lives of six members of her community upside down.

The evil radio journalist, who obviously has other agendas, plies her with alcohol so that

Dawn French as titular character Maggie Cole with her scene-stealing co-star mark Heap as Maggie’s husband and local principal Peter. what should have been an interesting piece about a 500th anniversary of the town is now a defamatory gossip session.

The rest of the six-part series is then spent following Maggie and the six townfolk as they try to rebuild their lives.

French, usually a tour-de-force, seems to struggle with the script the most and ironically its when she is supposed to be funny that she seems to be all at sea. During her drunken interview she seems to have forgotten where she is and the scene reads more like a French and Saunders skit than part of a comedy or a drama.

The real MVP of this misguided look at village life is Mark Heap as local principal and Maggie’s long-suffering husband who is so perfectly cast that you are willing to put up with the rest of the nonsense (mostly) just to enjoy his performance.

The Fifty Shades series received well-deserved criticism for glamourising emotional abuse, but 365 Days, in which Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) is kidnapped by Sicilian Mafia boss Massimo (Michele Morrone) and given one year to fall in love with him, is even more toxic.

Massimo is a cold, monstrous individual who repeatedly forces his will and body on Laura, and yet he is depicted as a suave hunk, and they inexplicably fall in love. This film celebrates vanity and aggression, relentlessly objectifies its female characters, and downplays the vital importance of consent.

On a more technical level, 365 Days has wooden performances and trite, terriblytranslated dialogue (the film is a Polish production, but performed mostly in English).

The pacing is limp, and Laura’s heart condition, Massimo’s jealous former lover and the rival Mafia family either carry no urgency or are completely dropped.

The cinematography is vibrant and the sex scenes are superficially steamy, but any eroticism is unearned, given the blatant coercion and emotional manipulation in Massimo and Laura’s relationship.

When Laura declares her love for Massimo toward the end of the film, like me you’ll probably shout a certain rude expression of outrage at the ceiling.

365 Days is a shallow, dull, poorly-acted and above all disgusting power fantasy. It’s available for streaming on Netflix, but this is extremely inadvisable.

Sunshine Coast to soar Sunshine Coast Airport has spread its wings to fly north for the first time ever, officially launching its inaugural Alliance Airlines service to Cairns last Friday.

The new three-per-week service provides a key connection between two of Queensland’s high value tourist locations in line with the current push for domestic travel.

Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie said the tropical northern destination had been highly requested by the Coast community.

“It’s a route that’s been long anticipated by local people and the strong passenger loads for the first flight certainly confirmed that,” Mr Brodie said.

“This service will also spare locals from making the long drive south to Brisbane to fly north, and will allow us to test the appetite for other regional routes on their wish list.

“It’s anticipated this service will facilitate around 40,000 passengers every year and inject $2.8 million of tourism spend into our region, undoubtedly some welcome relief for local operators.”

Tourism Minister Kate Jones said the announcement was a direct result of $15 million in funding from the State Government to secure direct flights to Queensland destinations and support the economic recovery of the tourism industry.

“Thanks to the way we’ve managed this health crisis, we can now start to focus on our economic recovery,” Ms Jones said.

“This brand-new service between the Sunshine Coast and Cairns will feature 300 seats each way per week, will generate more than $2 million for local businesses and support up to 20 jobs.

“Already we’ve seen huge demand for this service which is a great sign for our tourism sector.

“Since flights went on sale on June 18, Alli-

Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie and Alliance Airlines chair and co-founder Steve Padgett. ance has sold more than 2800 tickets to date.”

Alliance Airlines chief executive officer Lee Schofield said the airline was proud to help provide another important link in its regional network.

“Alliance is a proud Queensland basedairline with close ties to regional Queensland

since its inception. This new route linking two of Queensland’s most beautiful regions further cements these ties,” Mr Schofield said.

Visit Sunshine Coast interim chief executive officer Craig Davidson and Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said the service would provide a well-timed boost

for domestic tourism to the Sunshine Coast and Noosa regions.

“We are looking forward to welcoming our northern friends and we also encourage our own locals to support Queensland tourism and discover the Cairns and Port Douglas region,” Ms Anderson said.

Back to the future?

Our federal parliamentary sitting being cancelled due to coronavirus symbolises the thinking that, rather than innovative adaptation, we should just wait until things get “back to normal”.

A virtual parliament may not have been possible in the early 1900s, but that does not make it unconstitutional.

It’s the same thinking that underlies our governments continuing to support coal mining rather than renewable energy.

It’s time to move on. The old approaches are not going to work. The old business models are not going to work. The old social traditions are not going to work.

The human race needs to get smarter fast or it will lose the race. Just like the dinosaurs during the ice age. Adapt or perish.

Roundabout promotion The people of Noosa are asking themselves what will be going into the new roundabout on Hilton Terrace.

Travelling a lot overseas I have seen a great variety of roundabouts most of them being creative and outstanding landmarks.

Most of our roundabouts are just plain green and boring, they have nothing to promote or standing out.

What if we all make a decision of how we want our new roundabouts to look?

Here is my idea: Make a reference to our Biosphere status by incorporating Austalian (not necessarily Queensland only) wildflowers. There is lots of Info on e.g. Landline” how to grow them.

Make the roundabout a colourful sea of wildflowers, some of them flower all year round, It’s not just pleasant for the onlooker but it will attract the so important bees as well.

Food for thought.

Fee for toilets Please correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the initial reason for charging a fee to travel North Shore was to install additional facilities, these being mainly toilet amenities for campers and travellers.

The amenities at Freshwater have been there for 20 years to my knowledge, probably much longer and would be paid for by the camping fee.

All the QPWS seems to have done is to build a nice facility at Tewantin, rely on volunteers to clean up North Shore and do nothing else but gather fees which probably go into state revenue.

It’s about time these fees are used to enhance our North Shore.

The trucks block the driveway. There is no escape. It seems fitting that I will stay here until the end. I’m sorry. Can I explain?

Both sides of the street were planted with Paper Bark trees when we first came to buy this house 11 years ago. You were 10 years old then and beautiful. Like young people waving their arms, dancing together at a club. You were planted by the developers as a reminder of the bushland that was cleared to create this housing estate.

As soon as we moved in the neighbours approached us to sign a petition to have all the trees in the street removed. They said “Wrong tree in the wrong place”, and cursed the falling leaves and the “mess they made”.

Most of the neighbours have gone; died or moved to nursing homes where handrails and walking frames have replaced lawn mowers and rakes.

We had joined a local environmental group and got involved in protecting the native vegetation so we politely explained to the neighbours that we planned to keep our three Paper Barks which grew on our corner block.

We felt sad when the other trees were removed and a little smug that we had done the right thing. You three kept growing. Doubling your size in the next 10 years.

Winds blew your leaves onto our roof and filled our gutters and covered our garden. But we didn’t mind and we cleared the gutters and raked the lawn and mulched the leaves and watched the birds eat the nectar from your prolific flowers in spring while we collected the pieces of bark that fell in big sheets.

Now the edge of the driveway is buckled by your underlying roots and the roadway asphalt curls up to make way as you search for water during hotter and drier summers.

Since my partner’s heart attack four months ago we have an agreement that he will not climb on the roof anymore. Statistically the number one reason men in their seventies end up in hospital.

Council officers have confirmed our dead neighbours’ advice. Wrong tree in the wrong place.

You belong in the shady wetlands down near the lake drinking the dark waters stained by tanin, huddled close together to protect each other. Not straining against the concrete and water pipes on narrow strips of grass between roads and footpaths too hot to walk on.

Now the chainsaws have stopped and it is silent. You are gone. We will plant smaller trees in your place. Something that won’t tear up the road and block our drains.

Thank you for the time we had together.

The block seems naked and exposed without you and I miss you already.

Carole Philipp, Noosaville.

Debate continues Great to see John Mikkelsen back on the keyboard again. The local paper just wouldn’t be the same without at least one letter from a climate change denier each week.

OPINION

On The Soapbox Frank Wilkie

Deputy Mayor FRANK WILKIE explains what the new Noosa Plan means to us.

Now we move forward From July 31, Noosa will have a new planning scheme that sets a vision for the shire’s evolution over the next 20 years.

Its aims include fostering prosperity, protecting the lifestyle and natural assets we all love and respecting the character of the shire’s many distinct localities. This is to be done by focusing population growth around existing employment and transport centres, while encouraging smaller dwellings to increase “affordability” for a greater range of personal circumstances.

Residential neighbourhoods will be preserved principally for permanent residents while all dwellings will be able to host some form of visitor accommodation.

The new plan also fast-tracks or removes the need for applications on new or changing businesses. It ensures adequate land for local manufacturing and greater flexibility for compatible retail and office space within industrial premises. Local food production will be supported by reducing red tape for farming, and encouraging rural enterprises.

There will be greater flexibility to upgrade Noosa Junction buildings and better protections through updated fire, flood, natural hazard and koala habitat mapping.

Noosa Plan 2020 seeks to accommodate an estimated population of 63,000 by 2041, as required under the State’s ShapingSEQ. Fortunately, the State has enshrined Noosa’s modest population capacity goals in this regional plan.

Noosa’s growth will be accommodated by

increased small dwelling development around existing centres, placing residents close to employment, services, shops and transport. This means more two and three storey units around places like Noosa Junction and Noosa Civic.

And, after input from the Noosa Junction Association, setback and floor area settings were altered as incentives to develop this centre to its long-standing three-storey potential. This includes units above commercial development, the so-called “shop top housing”.

Starting or changing the type of businesses will also be easier, less costly and time consuming. In 75 cases, the plan has reduced the levels of assessment or removed the need for an application. This is also intended to help businesses diversify beyond tourism-dependent and construction enterprise.

Noosa Plan 2020 also seeks to balance the social and economic impacts, both positive and negative of home-based stays and whole dwelling short term accommodation (STA).

Responses to these impacts were highlighted in the case studies from around Australia and the world in the council’s Short Term Accommodation and Online Platform Issues paper, a University of Sydney research study and other data which helped guide this scheme.

There are basically two types of visitor options referred to here: home-based stays, where one or two rooms are let to guests by the on-site property owner, and short-term accommodation (STA) where whole dwellings are rented to visitors. The aim has been to balance the benefits offered by both types, while

ensuring neighbourhoods over time are kept principally for housing permanent residents.

Under Noosa Plan 2020, every dwelling in the shire can host some form of visitor accommodation, be it whole dwelling or homehosted.

STA will be a consistent land use in Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Tourist Accommodation, Rural Residential and Rural Zones. In the Low Density Residential Zone, those who are already letting their properties as STA may continue to do so as they have existing use rights. Owners that want to travel and let their properties as STA, can do so for up to 60 days a year without a planning application.

And owners who want to let out a couple of rooms of their house for home-hosted stays will be able to do so without the need for a town planning application in most zones, as long as conditions can be met.

Apart from these many examples, STA is an inconsistent use in low density residential neighbourhoods. This is a key measure in helping to ensure long-term housing supply and affordability. This will help ensure that over the next 20 years, Noosa remains firstly a community as well as a much-loved visitor destination with an abundance of real estate investment opportunities.

Noosa’s approach to STA is similar to that adopted by at least nine Queensland councils, including Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Port Douglas.

After nearly four years’ work, three rounds of consultation, nearly 2000 submissions, $3.2million in costs and extensive legal checks, the final draft was approved by the state with conditions which also included the amending of fire hazard, erosion hazard, biodiversity and koala habitat overlays to reflect state mapping, providing more detailed planning guidance for the Noosa Business Centre site, and changing provisions around social housing.

While this scheme has a 20-year horizon, all new plans are subject to review and amendment and are often replaced after 10 years.

Council will also undertake a two-year review of the social and economic impacts of STA and produce a report for the Minister on the findings, containing any recommended amendments.

There has been confusion and contention on this issue, which is why the Minister’s requirement for published guidelines is also welcome and much needed. And a local law, yet to be implemented, will help regulate and minimise negative impacts for STA. Council will also review the scheme’s effect on housing choice and affordability and how it is meeting the diverse needs of the community. It will review its effectiveness in meeting the changing needs of business in industrial precincts and amend the plan where necessary.

Deep thanks to the many residents, industry professionals and associations whose submissions helped shape this multi-faceted template for Noosa’s future.

Leah Barclay records Lyndon Davis playing didgeridoo at Maroochy River.

Leah Barclay installs a binaural microphone at Eudlo Creek.

Sound research listens in Two USC academics who specialise in sound design and photography have teamed with a Kabi Kabi cultural performer to present a trio of innovative listening events for the public as part of the 2020 Horizon Festival.

Award-winning sound artist and producer Dr Leah Barclay, who is a USC Lecturer in Design, and Kabi Kabi performer-educator Lyndon Davis, a USC Honorary Senior Fellow, have created the soundscapes interwoven with traditional stories and featuring photography by USC Lecturer Tricia King.

Called ‘Listening in the Wild’, the series started last weekend with a sonic immersion

in the Maroochy River, continues this Sunday 19 July with a sound walk along Eudlo Creek, and finishes on Sunday 26 July with an ocean expedition from Mooloolaba out to Old Woman Island.

The experiences are live streamed from 4pm Sundays with recordings and images available post-event. Go to the Horizon Festival link (horizonfestival.com.au/event/listening-in-the-wild) or www.listeninginthewild. com for the live streams.

Dr Barclay said the soundscapes were deep listening experiences that allowed audiences to engage with ecosystems across the Sun-

shine Coast from home.

“Each soundscape features a prelude of site-responsive images by Tricia to visually engage with the site before listening,” she said.

“I am also using the images as sound filters, so it is an audio-visual dialogue with the site that has been guided by Lyndon’s stories of place.

“In the first experience on the banks of the Maroochy River, Lyndon speaks about the importance of storytelling, saying that ‘stories really help us to connect to our landscape and the more we know about the place, the better we can look after it’.”

She said the project was part of an emerging portfolio of research at USC investigating new ways of using digital technologies to connect audiences to environments to inspire conservation.

“The USC team is inspired by the interdisciplinary possibilities of this research and the pathways for engaging students in these projects in the future,” she said.

The multi-arts Horizon Festival is being held online until August, with monthly schedules of digital artworks, events and experiences. Its foundation partner is Sunshine Coast Council.

Sensitive: The unusual treatment becoming a trend

By Abbey Cannan An unusual treatment that has been around for a decade has just arrived in Australia, and it’s fast becoming the ‘must-have’ treatment for women between the age of 40 and 60.

According to Sunshine Coast’s Cosmetique Cosmetic Surgery Clinic Dr Vivek Eranki, the O Shot is ideal for women in need of vaginal rejuvenation.

“Many life experiences can affect pelvic health and wellbeing. These include giving birth, hormonal changes in menopause and a number of medications including treatments for breast cancer can contribute to vaginal dryness,” Dr Eranki said.

“All of these things impact on the sensitivity of the vaginal area and overall libido.”

The O Shot, short for the Orgasm Shot, is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment.

It is a simple painless treatment method involving the use of one’s own blood platelets which are then injected into the vaginal tissue.

The platelets naturally attract cells to the injected area, which then generate healthier and more functional tissue in the vagina.

This stimulates vaginal and clitoral nerve and collagen rejuvenation.

“After the treatment, you will find an increase in libido and the ability to have multiple, more intense organisms more quickly,” Dr Eranki said.

“You’ll also experience an improvement in urinary incontinence.

“While the O Shot is very popular among women between the age of 40 and 60, it is 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 July, 2020

Dr Vivek Eranki. very popular among women who have had children.

“Unfortunately carrying a child and childbirth can cause genital tract trauma and pelvic floor muscle injury. This can impact a woman’s sex life, toilet habits, confidence, and mental health.”

Dr Eranki said many women experience

improvements immediately while others say it takes a few weeks.

“The feedback is overwhelmingly positive with women telling us that it has changed their life,” he said.

Dr Eranki said the most popular treatment at their Sunshine Coast Clinic was lip fillers followed by wrinkle relaxers.

“Majority of our patients are females between the ages of 18-35,” he said.

“Historically treatments such as lip filers, dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers were more popular among females in their middle age.

Treatments were focused on restoring volume.”

Dr Eranki said over the last five years, it has become increasingly popular among a younger demographic.

“Many patients now undergo such treatment as an enhancement rather than a restorative procedure,” he said.

“Some patients prophylactically undergo wrinkle relaxer treatments at a young age to stop static wrinkles from forming.

“The vast majority of our patients are females between the ages of 18-35.”

With many young women feeling the pressure for perfection, Dr Eranki said he was aware of the increasing prevalence of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

“All patients who book an appointment for cosmetic medical treatments such as lip fillers, dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers undergo a consultation with a health practitioner,” he said.

“During the consultation, we establish the patients desired end result along with their motivation for the treatment.

“If patients are choosing to undergo these treatments for intrinsic reasons to boost their confidence and if their desired aesthetic goals are consistent with safe medical practice and deliverable results, we proceed with the treatment.”

By Abbey Cannan There’s a buzz in the village of Eumundi with the announcement of ‘CoVibes 1’ on Friday 14 August in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi, with Band of Frequencies taking to the stage, supported by Graham Moes.

Event organiser Alice Jones said the requests for live music at the hotel have been overwhelming.

“Feedback from music lovers is that they are desperate to hear live bands and support musicians who have been hit hard by restrictions,” Alice said.

“We’re super excited to be able to bring music back - and to be kicking off with the Sunny Coast’s Band of Frequencies, who always get the groove just right.”

Alice said tickets are just $30 and numbers are strictly limited.

“We have capped numbers to just 80 guests in line with restrictions - so if you’re planning on coming, get in quick,” she said.

“There’s an expectation guests will of course comply with physical distancing restrictions and sanitisation measures to ensure such events can continue,” Alice said. “We’ll have fun, but it must be sensible fun.”

One of Australia’s premier jam bands and true believers in sounds beyond boundaries, Band of Frequencies draw their influences from a vast spectrum of blues, roots, rock, funk and psychedelic styles.

Their signature blend comes from years of live experimentation, constantly pushing their influences into the creative fires to see what melts, what explodes and what merges.

They have successfully forged a bond of sonic elements that represents their coastal roots and strikes a chord with music lovers around the globe. It’s this quality that has seen them grace stages of diverse festivals, at home and abroad, and to record soundtracks to several internationally released surf films.

Graham Moes is a soul singer set in a world of modern electronic influences.

As Covid restrictions ease in Queensland, Tourism Noosa have scheduled in their first Welcome to Noosa Training Sessions for 2020.

Two training sessions will take place on Thursday 6 August following a morning tea and afternoon tea for new Tourism Noosa members.

Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said “We have had over 130 new members sign up since offering our membership fee waive for 2020/2021 and many businesses are looking forward to completing the Welcome to Noosa course”.

“The group sessions will take place at Ivory Palms Resort to ensure we are practicing safe distancing and will provide businesses an opportunity to learn more about Noosa while also connecting with other operators” Ms Anderson said.

Welcome to Noosa is an online training program that provides basic information on Noosa - why the region is so special, its history, key things to do in Noosa, information on the Noosa Biosphere and more, as well as providing great customer service strategies and information on workplace health and safety.

On completion of the course, participants receive a certificate and a Welcome to Noosa badge. With over 2000 people completing the course to date, more and more businesses are getting behind the program and it can provide an advantage when looking for employment.

The group training sessions are a great way to complete the course with others in a fun environment with sessions running for 90 minutes and costing just $10 per person.

The next session will be held on Thursday 6 August from 11am.

Endurance riding restart Stirling’s Crossing Equestrian Centre at Imbil has hosted a very successful restart to the 2020 season for endurance in Queensland.

Endurance horses, their riders and crew converged on the Mary Valley this month to resume the season which had been shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic just before their scheduled Easter long weekend event.

The venue had tight health protocols that required all potential attendees to register in advance before gaining access to the venue.

Five endurance rides were held on the weekend of 11-12 July. On the Saturday an 80km ride started at 4am, a 40km ride at 1.30pm followed by a 20km ride at 1.45 pm.

Light rain in the days leading up to the event had been ideal as it softened the hard dirt roads in the adjacent forestry areas which comprised much of the course. During the event the weather was ideal for horses; overcast and cool.

A total of almost 180 entries was very encouraging for the sport after the months of being unable to compete. Higher than expected completion rates were a result of skilled rider judgement, good conditions under foot for the horses and ideal weather.

The Saturday 80km ride had 50 starters with a completion rate of 84 per cent. First over the finish line was Renee Kelso on the Arabian stallion PVE Remington in a riding time of four hours 53 minutes.

Experienced vets check horses carefully before the ride, at the 40km check, also after the finish. Horses not meeting welfare criteria for stress and soundness are withdrawn.

The 40km ride had 64 starters with a completion rate of 91 per cent, and the 20km ride 20 starters and a 100 per cent completion.

On the Sunday, a second 80km ride also began at 4am. Thirty-four competitors started in this ride and the completion was 88 per cent.

In this ride first over the finish line was a Junior rider Ben Hoey on My Name Is Earl in a riding time of 5hrs 49 min.

It was followed by a 40km ride at 6am. There were 41 started with 93 per cent completing.

Many riders used the 40 and 20 km rides to introduce horses to endurance and the vetting protocols involved.

Competitors travelled to the event from areas as far as Central Queensland and Northern New South Wales whereas most were from South east Queensland.

In endurance all competitors who are successful receive a completion award. Best Condition Horse Awards were given in the 80 km rides.

The event was well supported by sponsors.

The Stirling’s Classic Event will be held on 1-2 August where the feature will be the annual 120km championship ride. In past years this has been well supported by interstate, some overseas riders as well as by locals.

The Stirling’s club looks forward to also hosting the Queensland Championship event early in October.

If this month’s event was any indication it will be a very successful 2020 season for endurance in Queensland.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Get in early: Humid is hot Little Humid Restaurant and Bar, reviewed by Trevor Pepys Let’s get one thing clear from the start: for Trevor, this is a “special occasion” place, not your average Friday night roll-out - although this visit was on a Friday night, and we were rolling a bit due to becoming incredibly thirsty during the welcome return of the SandFlys at Harbour Wine Bar. And when I say special occasion, I’m talking like the times when Trev gets the call from the wrong side of town that a no-hoper is set to win the seventh at Eagle Farm at 50 to one, and, of course, the nag romps home with Trev’s pay packet on its butt. That kind of special.

Mary and Michelle have been serving up something special in Noosa, first at Humid on Weyba Road and now at Little Humid on Gympie Terrace, for more than 16 years, always with impeccable service served with a little bit of attitude. Point of difference is what the girls strive for, and they always deliver.

Take the name itself. Who else would call a restaurant in a subtropical beach town renowned for its warm, ah, sweaty evenings “Humid”? Answer: no one. Google it. No one.

That’s what I love about the girls. They act like they don’t give a rat’s, and yet they care so passionately about what they create and how they deliver it.

Which brings me to our most recent dinner.

We were three, Trevor, the bride and our mate up from Sydney who was the special occasion, an old food critic who takes no prisoners and whose manic cackles of delight or roars of displeasure are feared by chefs the world over.

Suitably socially distanced, we ordered bloody marys ($15 and just what the doctor ordered) and a round of tempura battered Spanish olives stuffed with anchovy ($15) and sipped and slurped while surveying the menu, which manages to combine the old and the new. In such situations old foodie mate tends to just order the lot and let God sort it out, which Trevor is happy to do at Telephone Call From Istanbul but not here, not on a journo’s miserly salary (are you listening, Garry?).

Not that Little Humid is terribly pricey - in fact by Noosa’s high-end standards, it’s quite moderate. But Trevor, as you may have gathered, is mean but fair.

So we compromised and ordered two entrees and two mains to share, including two of Trev’s favourites and two new starters. If I’d had the pork belly at Humid before, I’d somehow forgotten the experience. Sticky fried pork belly, fresh fig, witlof, honey walnuts, goat’s feta and pear salad, caramelized date puree ($25), a sensational start. Three of us ripped it apart in nano-seconds, and but for Covid, Trevor would have ripped the biggest piece out of old Sydney mate’s teeth before it disappeared.

Fortunately, the slow braised rabbit, leek and macadamia nut pie, cauliflower cream, thyme and white wine jus ($26) was at hand, and this has been a Trev special since Humid began. A rabbit pie is a rare treat these days, but Trev can remember country stays on an uncle’s property when at a very young age he learnt the origin of the expression “letting the

View from the deck.

The duck and the shank -yum! ferret have a run”, popping the frightened animals into a sack at the end of the hole and lugging them back for dear old aunty to make into the most delicious pie, with no qualms at all about Pookie, his pet white bunny in the cage back home. Michelle ain’t no old aunty, but she sure knows her way around a bunny pie.

Our mains of crispy skin duck confit leg, buttered sugarloaf cabbage, kipflers and melted onion leaves, creamed parsnip puree, orange and star anise glaze ($35) and lamb shank glazed in a roast beetroot and balsamic jus, spinach and feta kataifi pastry, broccolini, carrot and nut brown butter puree ($34) disappeared in a similarly inglorious display of gluttony, but by this time the effects of the second bottle of Logan Hannah rose ($45, and a good dop from Orange, NSW, not far from uncle’s farm as it happens) were becoming obvious, so host Mary had the mop and bucket at the ready for what went to ground.

Trevor is a sucker for a good shank, and there isn’t a better one in Noosa. And the duck was similarly succulent. Although only four dishes for three, this was a meaty feast of flavours, perfect for a Noosa winter night.

The verdict: Book well in advance, and if you’re on Jobkeeper, Trevor suggests going twice a week until the end of September. This is a special.

Little Humid, 235 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, phone 5449 9755.

Open for dinner Wednesday to Sunday, lunch Friday to Sunday.

Dolphins thank sponsors Like so many industries, Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the community sport and recreation sector. In recognition of the invaluable support of sponsors and to re-launch the 2020 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union season, the Noosa Dolphins Rugby Club held an intimate sponsors event last Friday to thank local businesses for their ongoing and unwavering support. Despite the Covid-19 interruption, Noosa Rugby once again, has more than 350 men and women registered for the 2020 season.

Without the support of dedicated sponsors, the Dolphins could simply not provide the high-quality programs, services and infrastructure for players and the Noosa community. The event was timed to coincide with the last junior training session before the resumption of the junior rugby season, with 100’s of enthusiastic juniors taking the field in preparation for the resumption of the games on 24 and 25 July.

The event was also an introduction to what 2020 spectating will look like for so many avid fans. Strict ground management protocols, designed by the Queensland Government in consultation with the peak sporting bodies of field-based sports, stipulate a number of requirements that need to be met in order for community sport to resume. On arrival to the ground, each attendee is now required to digitally sign into the venue. This step has been implemented to assist with contact tracing in the unfortunate, and hopefully unlikely event a person does contract Covid-19. The Dolphins management committee would like to thank everyone in advance, as volunteers implement a range of new matchday protocols to get players back on the field.

The seniors season commences on 1 August with away games against long-time rivals the Maroochydore Swans with the first home game of the season against reigning premiers the Caloundra Lighthouses on 8 August.

Kick off times for the 2020 season are designed to limit cross over of players and spectators at venues.

They will be Colts 11am, Senior Women 12.45pm, Reserve Grade 2.15pm and A Grade 4pm.

Andrew’s a master of the course Andrew Horner, who last year led Noosa Springs to a thrilling come-from-behind victory in the Masters pennant final at Twin Waters, showed he’s maintaining his great form by winning Saturday’s stableford competition at Noosa Springs.

Horner, who was his team’s No 1 player in that historic victory and scored the win on the third extra hole after Noosa Springs and Maroochy River had been tied on 3.5 wins after regulation play - scored 38 points on Saturday.

Playing off a handicap of seven, he beat John Gavin and Neil Cutting, who each returned 37 points. Rob Mowatt and Leon Jordan were another point further back.

In women’s competition, Dianne Kemp won with 39 points, a stroke ahead of Janet Young.

Jill Wilson, Tracey Carter and Margaret Hart tied for third on 35 points.

Those who play on Sundays are welcome to compete in Noosa Springs’ Sunday Series for a chance to win weekly prizes, and compete for a year’s free golf at both Noosa Springs and Links Hope Island on the Gold Coast. The male and female golfer with the best score each month will compete in a December final for the grand prize.

Like father, like son Former Noosa junior Jesse Egea, who gave up golf for a few years to concentrate on rugby league, won his second straight trainee tournament when he shot par 66 in last week’s Jindalee Trainee Match event to share the victory with two other apprentice professionals. Jesse is now an assistant to his dad Andrew at Wolston Park. Andrew Egea was a popular teaching pro at Noosa Golf Club for several years.

Bowditch shows signs of form Steve Bowditch, arguably the best golfer to come out of Noosa, has struggled with injuries and poor form over the past few seasons as he’s battled to compete on the US PGA Tour.

Now playing in the second tier Korn Ferry Tour, Bowditch found the going tough again this week when he missed the cut in the TPC San Antonio Challenge in Texas. But the two-time PGA Tour winner did show glimpses of his best form with a second round two under-par 70, which included four birdies and an eagle.

Liam Dawson, an outstanding 16-year-old golfer with the smoothest of swings, accepted his trophy for winning the Noosa Springs Junior Classic, then lamented what might have been.

Dawson, a one-handicapper from Caloundra, shot an excellent two-under par 70 to successfully defend the title he took at Noosa Springs last year.

But it could have been even better.

He shot out of the blocks like an Olympic sprinter, with birdies on four of the first five holes he played. After nine holes he had recorded five birdies, three pars and a solitary bogey for a four-under 32.

The young man’s focus slipped a little on the back nine, but he never looked like being caught in what was the first junior tournament staged on the Sunshine Coast since Covid-19 restrictions were imposed.

“There were just a few unexplained errors - particularly on the back nine - in what could have been a day to remember,” Liam said.

He won by four strokes from Mt Coolum’s Adam van Dorsselaer, with Daniel Cho, of Indooroopilly, a stroke away third.

In the girls’ division, Caitlin Vanderkruk, of Keperra, shot an excellent three-over par 75 to win by six strokes from Ionna Muir, of Maroochy River, and last year’s champion Dhiya Rampersad. Noosa Springs’ Jasmine Luna was the girls’ Division 1 net winner with 73.

Sporting champs inspire Three USC High Performance Student Athletes who benefited from the encouragement of others as they powered to success are leading an initiative to do the same for other young competitors and school students.

Jordan Mercer, Riley Thomson and Elliot Brown - top achievers in surf lifesaving, longboard surfing and skeleton (sled) racing respectively - are among the USC students partnering with local charity The Encouragement Foundation for the “I encourage you” initiative.

Coast entrepreneur and philanthropist John Shadforth, a USC Honorary Senior Fellow and Chancellor’s Stole recipient who founded the charity in 2007, said a series of motivational letters from the student athletes would be sent to young people across the region.

“We hope the recipients gain inspiration and reassurance from the shared experiences of these amazing student athletes,” Mr Shadforth said.

Jordan Mercer, a surf lifesaving athlete and champion in ironwoman, paddleboard and surf ski events around the world, is studying a Bachelor of Primary Education at USC. The Noosa resident, who features on the first letter, said the idea was simple but powerful.

“My success in both my sport and my study has only been possible because of the encouragement I have received from family, friends and even strangers, every step of the way,” she said.

“If someone else reads one of these letters at a time when they need it, it could really have an impact.”

Moffat Beach’s Riley Thomson, who is in his first year of a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), is the Under 18 Australian Junior Men’s Longboard Champion.

“I dream of becoming a world longboard champion and having a career in psychology,” he said.

“I hope to inspire others to follow their

Paramedic Science student Elliot Brown, of Mooloolaba, made a successful move from

triathlon and track cycling to skeleton racing.

He has set his sights on competing at a future Winter Olympics.

The first letters are being sent to USC’s

As the winter sun peeps over the horizon on Tuesdays and Fridays in Peregian Beach, there’s a band of blokes swinging their racquets ready to chase a little yellow ball.

Not that you are likely to see them there, tucked away in Rufous Street, next door to the Kindy.

The quiet little Peregian Tennis Club is away from it all. But it’s close enough for players to have their hit then wander over to the village for a yarn and coffee with their tennis mates.

Back in 1980 when Peregian Beach was really just a bit of speck on the map, a group of tennis-playing families established the not-for-profit tennis club, volunteering many hours and funds to get things rolling and build a clubhouse.

T.M Burke had built two of the nowthree courts 1965 as part of the Peregian Beach recreation area.

A clubhouse and the extra court were added after the club was formed, and forty years on, the place is thriving.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

Set your sights on a bite As the cool change sweeps across SEQ, many anglers are finding now is the time to head out for one particular species. Now is the time to focus on a prime winter target that can reach in excess of 20kg. The mighty mulloway or jewfish are starting to show up in greater numbers and for some this fish is part of a lifelong obsession.

Offshore, these fish can be caught on a wide variety of methods from huge live baits to plastics and jigs. North Reef, Chardons, Sunshine, Stingrays and further north to Double Island are all prime grounds. Having a decent sounder to locate the bait is important to help look for big arches. For plastics, jewies love the Berkley Powerbait nemesis and gulp nemesis as well as big jerk shads like the Chasebait fork bait in 7” sizes.

As for jigs then PE 2-3 gear is all that is required and the new Samaki wingman 80-100 gram in bubble gum is a colour they are drawn to. Leaders should be around 4 meters as they often hold close to structure which helps them duck out of the current.

When you get the bite be sure to strike hard and give them 2-3 extra strikes to drive the hook home. Try not to go too hard on a big jew as you can pull hooks easily.

Other species caught on these reefs are some standout sweetlip well over 60cm and some mid water cobia which take the previous mentioned lures and plastics. Tusk fish are also a viable target, however you may well catch a few snapper along the way. If you need help with how to vent snapper or pearl perch be sure to come and ask us how to do it the right way for the best chance of a strong release.

The surf beaches have been popular with strong westerlies featuring for most of the week. With the building swell the gutters have been re-formed and have changed dramatically all along the coast.

This has seen big sea bream featuring as they search for exposed prey. Squid and mullet strips work exceptionally well for bream as they love a chunky bait. For other fish like whiting then smaller squid strips and beach worms are the go. Be sure you use the correct hooks with long baitholders perfect for squid and octopus hooks favoured for mullet and pilchard chunks. Evening time jewfish anglers have had success along the coast and around the headlands on the turn of tide. These fish will take a bunch of baits but presentation is key so use bait wrap and only the best cuts of mullet, squid and fresh bait with 40-60lb mono leader like Shimano Tiagra for the best presentation.

The Noosa River is seeing a change with the cold snap bringing in a wave of golden trevally.

This species is becoming more prevalent and is a great target for all methods of angling. For bait anglers these fish love oily chunk baits like

Scarlett from Brisbane caught 70cm golden trevally on a live bait while on a Noosa River Fishing Safari. mullet as well as live baits of herring. If using herring, be sure to use wire octopus hooks as they are a fragile baitfish. For lure anglers the Powerbait 3 and 4 inch minnows are perfect when fished with 10lb fluoro leaders and similar lines. You can find these fish throughout the lower estuary with Woods Bay, the current line, Munna Point and the river mouth rocks the favoured spots. With the water still dirty from the rains, you can fish slightly heavier which gives you a shot at a jewfish, tailor, queenfish or bigger flathead. For those anglers searching for bread and butter species then the rocks around the dog beach and the downed trees is perfect for flathead, bream with whiting on the flats. The ski run has been popular with smaller jewfish. These fish are around 60cm and are

great fun on light tackle. The min size for keeping one is 75cm so care should be taken with undersized fish as they are not strong when out of the water.

Freshwaters have been harder to fish with the gusting winds. Holding ground on spot lock with an electric motor which is mandatory in Lake MacDonald is hard and can give your location away.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Erik reveals the future.

Pictures: WSL

WSL 2020: A no contest So it’s official at last - no World Surf League championship tour for 2020. Given the fact that very few people are going to be able to cross international borders for the remainder of this year, the long-overdue announcement from WSL CEO Erik Logan was something of a non-event. The ambitious tour plans announced for 2021, however, went way beyond this and bordered on the surreal.

Over the Covid lockdown, the surf forecast website Swellnet has been running a very funny series of illustrated articles about the goings-on in the fictional surf town of Toonalook, the creation of the brilliantly sick mind of one Gra Murdoch. In recent weeks, the WSL’s Logan, preppy-smart in button-down shirt and loafers, arrives in Toona looking for “real people content” to fill the yawning gaps in the WSL’s media platforms in a no-contest year. Ridiculed by the hard-core locals, Logan disappears into the untamed coast outside of town where he lucks into some surfable slabs and a baggie of local bud and has an epiphany that the real meaning of surfing is, well, surfing. And if the mainstream doesn’t get that, good.

Watching Logan deliver the good news and the bad news about the future of pro surfing, I began to think that the Toona trip may not have been fiction, and that the local bud has yet to wear off.

Erik, back in his Ben Sherman shirt and horn-rims, tells us that while the 2020 tour has been cancelled, the 2021 tour will kick off in Hawaii, USA, in November. That’s right, in about four months, the world’s leading surfers, primarily domiciled in Australia, Brazil and California, will be required to fly to Hawaii to compete on the north shores of Oahu and Maui where any form of social distancing or isolation would be difficult, if not impossible to implement.

Although Hawaii itself has the lowest Covid infection level of all American states, the United States still leads the world, with 3.7 million cases and 141,000 deaths at a current rate of 1,000 a day, while of the states California has the second highest infection rate after New York. Brazil has the second highest number of cases in the world at 2.1 million, with 78,000

Uncle Derek at home at Pipe. deaths and currently 1300 a day.

We’ve seen how fast things can change in this pandemic, but bear in mind that here in Australia we have a second wave in two states already and since mid-July the global graph has again been climbing rapidly. For the foreseeable future, no Australian surfer should be contemplating being at close quarters with anyone from Brazil or the USA, and that means more than half the men’s tour and just under half the women’s. So we have to ask, what the hell is the WSL thinking?

In preparation for the tour start that is never going to happen, the WSL will host a series of regional, pre-season exhibition events featuring CT surfers in the USA, Australia, France, and Portugal, to be known as the WSL

Countdown. While regional series, held within national borders, seems a lot more achievable, the projected Australian Grand Slam in September and October could be jeopardised by further state border closures if the second wave continues, and a European version involving France and Portugal could face similar obstacles.

It also seems highly unlikely that international travel restrictions will be lifted soon enough to enable the actual 2021 schedule to go ahead, but looking at it through somewhat rose-coloured glasses, I have only one serious issue with what looks like a fresh and exciting, if fantastical, tour. France has been eliminated.

While you could argue that the beach breaks of Hossegor offer up sand-churned

straighthanders at least as often as A-frame bombs, the incredible surf culture of France needs to be treated with more respect than this. Perhaps I’m a little one-eyed on this France holds a special place in my heart, and I ran the Quiksilver Pro France with my colleague Rod Brooks for a few years - but a European leg without France is like an Australian leg without Bells.

It’s just not right.

Vale Uncle Derek In an up-and-down kind of week, hiding away at our Agnes Water retreat, I learned just an hour before recording the Oz Longboarding podcast that fellow guest Andrew McKinnon wouldn’t be joining me to discuss the future of Queensland’s two World Surfing Reserves as he’d been lucky to survive a heart attack. As well as being a former world champion longboarder, Andy Mac has been a tireless worker for Australian surfing for almost as many decades as I’ve known him, so it was with considerable relief that I heard he’d joined the stent club and was doing well.

But within 24 hours tragic news concerning another world champ came in from Hawaii.

“Uncle” Derek Ho, the 1993 ASP world champion and Pipeline guru had passed away after a massive heart attack, aged just 55. Although I had a much closer (and sometimes volatile) relationship with older brother Michael Ho, I knew Derek not only as a great surfer but as a mellow guy and a mentor to many young surfers on the North Shore of Oahu.

One story: In 2000 Derek was old enough to compete as a master for the first time, and he and Mike joined us in France for the Quiksilver Masters world championships. At the opening night shindig Mike had enjoyed a few libations and decided he was not happy with the heat draw, telling me that he would be waiting for me in the car park with a baseball bat. At the end of the evening he was indeed waiting in the car park, but with Derek holding him up.

We had a group hug, drank some more beers and the incident was forgotten.

Thank you, Uncle D, for that and so much more. RIP. Friday, 24 July, 2020 NOOSA TODAY 39

NRL passes milestone Against the odds the NRL comepitition has passed the halfway mark of the 2020 season.

As the competition stumbles past the milestone and into the second stanza of the season supporters of all three Queensland teams will need counselling if the appalling performances continue.

All I can offer is, thank heavens for the Sunshine Coast Melbourne Storm.

The best that can be said about the Titans is, they helped the Melbourne Storm settle into their new home at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

The Titans were simply outclassed but their performance was nothing compared to the rubbish the Brisbane Broncos served up.

The Broncos celebrated the halfway milestone by turning in what has to be the club’s worst ever on field performance.

Just when, according to well placed sources, Coach Seibold had been given a performancebased ultimatum, apparently even better placed sources at the club deny the rumour.

After an improved performance by the Cowboys in Round 10 many were caught by surprise when news broke on Monday that there had been a high noon duel between the Cowboys Club and their Coach. Paul Green not the last Cowboy left standing. He parts ways with the club he led to its maiden premiership apparently on good terms and at a time of his choosing rather than at the end of the season.

The Cowboys become the third NRL team in 2020 to pull the trigger on their Coach.

Green’s departure highlights the undisputable fact that despite past successes, the NRL is a results driven business. Green now joins Stephen Kearney (Warriors) and Dean Pay (Bulldogs) on the 2020 coaches bench but looks well placed to quickly find a new home.

It begs the question so many Broncos supporters are asking “What is saving Anthony Seibold’s bacon and how bad does it have to get before the Broncos load their gun?

As Spin is finalised, the Broncos are holding their AGM. The Brisbane Broncos like any publicly listed company answers to shareholders and there is sure to be plenty of scrutiny.

Their biggest private investor, Property tycoon Phil Murphy has already taken aim at the club’s lack of direction and leadership.

Directors, Board Members, CEO’s and Coaches can’t take the field in games but their decisions certainly influence the culture and health of a club. Sadly, the Broncos appear to be on life support.

There is no excuse to be found for their performance by looking at their injury count.

Other club’s face similar predicaments with injury filled casualty wards and key players out for the season. Players in those teams are “putting in” often finding a way against the odds to win or at the least be competitive.

As Murphy said earlier in the week, “Everybody goes through tough times but if you are backed into a corner, you don’t lay down.

“Watching some of those tries over recent months, it makes you crook in the guts.”

There has been little or no sign of commitment or fight in the Broncos players. Fans will be hoping following the much touted player shake up this week, some “E” for Effort will be apparent against Melbourne / Sunshine Coast Storm.

If not, another high noon duel may soon be brewing. This time in the Broncos’ O.K. corral despite those strenuous denials.

SIR BEEFY IN THE LORDS? Is Beefy Botham set to take a seat at Lords - no not the cricket ground, the House of Lords.

There is rumour that Sir Ian is soon to be elevated to lordship status and could therefore take a seat in that other Lords.

Botham was knighted in 2007 not for his contribution to cricket but for his charity work, raising millions of pounds for Leukaemia Research.

If he is to elevated to the peerage, it would be some achievement for the young man from Yeovil who once served on the MCC ground 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 July, 2020

Sir Ian (Beefy) Botham looks set to make the transition from ground’s staff at Lords to a seat in the House of Lords if reports of an impending peerage are correct. He is pictured with Spin’s Casey O’Connor at a function at the Gabba.

It was a great day for the Women’s Noosa Tigers team who played their inaugural senior game.

Pictures: CRAIG SLANEY SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY staff at Lord’s - the cricketing Lord’s that is.

As a young player Botham was sent by the Somerset Club to Lord’s in part because the club like many others in the Counties could not afford to pay many of their young players.

Those dispatched to Lord’s were not considered to be the cream of the crop. Many failed to make it to county cricket never mind beyond; (ouch Botham was one that clearly got away).

Botham cleaned boots, washed pavilion windows, hauled the tarpaulin covers on and off the field, and pulled the heavy roller.

He was also required after morning training to bowl in the nets to any MCC member that demanded the service.

It’s not too much of a stretch to understand that what he perceived as servitude to the Lord’s players did not sit well with Botham.

In the nets he was known to take the Mickey - bowling full tosses and bouncers - trying to hit the batsmen - in one of his first — but by no means last — acts of rebellion against authority.

Hard to believe that of the mild mannered Beefy - never.

Botham like many other players from the “Home Counties” viewed Lord’s as a bastion of cricketing and social privilege.

When he was overlooked as the English captain he complained “a bunch of southern public-school smoothies are determined that no miner’s son from Yorkshire will captain England.”

Botham of course had the last laugh and now the worm will have completely turned if that miner’s son who is now Sir Ian ends up in the House of Lords.

I wonder if that bastion of the landed gentry, the House of Lords is ready for Beefy Botham and a few well placed bouncers.

Watching Sir Beefy serve it up to the House of Lords could become a new spectator sport.

At the very least you would think it would spice up their parliamentary sittings.

SPINNER MAKES HIS MARK For those with a passion for cricket and especially the Spin bowlers out there, the recent win by the Poms in the second Test against the West Indies is enough to give you a warm and fuzzy feeling.

The performance of rookie spinner Dom Bess in his debut Test was exceptional.

He is one of only a small number (perhaps three or four) English spinners whose figures at the end of a Test match show they have gone for only two an over. Not bad for a Spinner at the top level.

Not only did Bess bowl the West Indian opener Elgar at a crucial point in the game, when the opposition looked to be getting the upper hand, but his solid bowling allowed the seamers at the other end to rotate effectively causing the batsmen plenty of headaches.

After losing a day’s play at Old Trafford due to rain, game two of the three game series had something for all Test cricket enthusiasts.

There were mini collapses, fight backs, excellent bowling and some outstanding knocks with the bat.

But who would have thought adding a spinner to your line up and bowling him on the opening day would prove effective. Remind me - I’m sure we have heard that winning formula somewhere before. Something about a bloke call Warne seems to spring to mind.

The win by the Poms levels the three Test series. The deciding third Test will also be played at Old Trafford and commences on July 24. A few more late nights or early mornings ahead for those true believers among us.

NOOSA TIGERS OPEN ACCOUNT The Noosa Tigers were finally back on the paddock last weekend. Despite all that has happened in the past few months the Tigers began the 2020 season with as much bite and roar as

Noosa Tiger’s Aussie Rules women’s team in action against Redcliffe. they showed in their premiership year 2019 scoring a solid win over Mayne.

The 2019 premiers certainly made a statement of intent with a big win in their opening game. Defeating Mayne 72 - 49.

The women’s seniors also started 2020 with a bang. They held their opponents Redcliffe scoreless with a 62 -0 score line.

It may only have been game one but it bodes well for the season.

JUNIOR PIRATES READY The Noosa Pirates junior rugby league teams will be back in action on Friday and Saturday when the 2020 Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby League season kicks off.

The Friday night kick off heralds what will be a full on three month season for the junior teams.

The Noosa Pirates play at Christensen Oval, Cooroy with a 6.30pm kick off on Friday night.

Then there will be games from 9.00am on Saturday morning at Noosa District Sports Complex at Tewantin.

It has been a long road to get to this point but everyone involved believes that it has been a worthwhile journey with players coaches officials and parents keen to see the season get underway.

Details of the full draw which is quite extensive are available by going to the Noosa Pirates Facebook page and clicking on the link to the Sunshine coast comepitition.

Although kick off is only a couple of days away there is still time to register and become a Pirate in 2020. There are teams from U6 up to U18’s including our U16 Girls team.

Coastal change for Collins

By Russell Bennett While Queensland has just become the centre of the AFL world, until at least the end of the home and away season, Ben Collins already made it his footy epicentre for his family’s exciting new chapter.

Now in his late thirties, the former playercoach of Kooweerup and multiple premiership-winner at Beaconsfield - both in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs - made the move to Noosa with his wife Aleisha and their young family last year ... and they’re not looking back.

Collins - who also has an extensive history at a range of other proud Victorian community clubs including Cora Lynn, Belgrave, Moe, and Mulgrave - is looking to try and win one last premiership before hanging up the boots for good.

It’s a chance he wasn’t sure he’d ever get, after initially retiring in 2017 - the same season in which he’d battled testicular cancer.

But the move to the sunshine state has been a godsend for Ben and Aleisha, as well as kids Archie and Brighton.

Now running the Queensland arm of his AusConnect Underground Services business, while younger brother Dave - a champion player in his own right, and starting ruck rover in the Casey VFL team of the decade from 2006 to 2015 - looks after the Melbourne operations, Collins couldn’t be happier with his family’s coastal change.

He played his first game for Noosa on Saturday, booting two majors - including the first of the game - as his side prevailed over Mayne in front of a bumper home crowd for the battle of the Tigers, 9.18 (72) to 8.7 (55).

Collins spoke to Noosa Today on Sunday, after a morning beach recovery session and returning from a day out fishing on the boat with Archie.

It’s a far cry from the dreary wintery Melbourne conditions.

“The standard of footy is probably in between West Gippsland and the old Casey Cardinia (two of the competitions he called home in Victoria), so it’s a pretty good competition,” he said of the QAFL’s Division 1.

Collins spent some time on the ball for Noosa on Saturday, along with a former star of the Ballarat region, Shane Hutchinson. Both are well and truly in the twilight of their careers, and both are relishing the chance to provide some on-field leadership to coach Adam Bovalino’s side.

“It’s a different sort of footy,” Collins explained.

“Saturday was a bit of a grind, but because it’s so dry it’s fairly quick out there.

“It’s different to home, but I loved it. It was 23 or 24 degrees with not a breath of wind, and we had a massive crowd come along.”

Collins has been fortunate enough to be part of some proud, beloved local clubs in Melbourne’s south east and he says Noosa is right up there with them when it comes to the Tigers’ culture - a feat particularly impressive considering there are so many players from other states who’ve moved up north for a sea change.

“I guess footy in Noosa has always been really well-followed because it’s very much like a Victorian club - there are a lot of Victorians

Ben Collins (bottom right) looks to rove this tap in his debut for Noosa.

Ben Collins, his wife Aleisha, and their kids Archie and Brighton couldn’t be happier with their new life in Noosa.

Pictures: SUPPLIED who’ve moved up here,” Collins said.

“I’ve followed Noosa for a while already - we nearly made the move up here seven or eight years ago.

“No doubt people in Victoria would underestimate the standard of footy up here - I’m sure of it.”

After years of contemplating it, the Collins family finally bit the bullet and made the move north last year.

“I spoke to Bova (Bovalino) once our sea-

son finished at Kooweerup last year and said we were making the move, and that I wanted to get involved in the footy club in some way to meet people, because we didn’t really know anyone,” Collins explained.

“I caught up with him the first week we moved up here, and we went out for lunch with our families, and we’ve all become really close since. It’s made the transition so easy.”

There’s a degree of irony that there’s so little footy being played in a footy-mad state such

as Victoria right now (due to the impacts of Covid-19), but it’s in full swing in Queensland and that’s not lost on Collins, who’s constantly thinking of everyone back home.

“I still speak to (former Kooweerup team mates) Vossy [Nathan Voss], Tex [Luke Walker], Mitchy [youngest brother Mitch Collins] and all those guys and it’s just weird that I’m coming out of retirement after two-and-a-half years and I’m playing, and those poor buggers can’t play footy back home,” he said.

“I wouldn’t change our move for the world.

“It’s been the best decision ever for us. It’s an unbelievable place to bring up the kids.

“I played a game of footy on Saturday and headed out on the boat and to the beach the day after. If I’d have been in Melbourne I would’ve been on the couch all day. “We do all sorts of family things together up here, and we love it. It’s just a beautiful place of the world, and to actually be able to call this place home now, that’s just awesome.”

Collins hasn’t decided if he’ll play on next year - given so much of that decision rests on how his body holds up in 2020 - but he’s relishing the chance of taking a step back from coaching, and just playing for the love of the game.

“I’m just taking it week by week and enjoying my footy,” he explained.

“It’s been more than a decade since I haven’t been an assistant coach or a coach, so I’m just enjoying the playing side of things again.

“I’ve got no aspirations to be a head coach, but I’d like to help out - whether that’s being an assistant, or helping out on the committee. I’ll stay involved around the club because they’re such a great bunch of people.”

Noosa continues its QAFL Division 1 premiership quest when the side heads to Aspley to take on the Hornets this Saturday.

Perfect start for Tigers after four rounds at home Four games at home to start the 2020 Covid season and four wins for the Noosa Tigers. The day started with our newly aligned Coolum Noosa Colts who were far too strong for their Moreton Bay opponents.

Assistant coach David ‘Tinman’ Carroll stating, “There’s some serious talent in this group and a lot are bottom aged boys”.

Shane Dawes has gelled these guys together so well and it shows in the way they performed today. Best for the victorious Tigers were Jed Aitken, Declan Fitzpatrick, Cooper Ogden and Tallis Buntain. A grand final rematch in the reserves from last year saw an enthralling duel that went well and truly to the wire with the home side finishing full of run to secure an eight-point victory.

Benny Fuller was great for Noosa while recruit Ben Annett impressed also. Usual suspects Darcy Sullivan and Daniel Bence were extremely busy for the winners.

The main game was preceded by the unfurling of the 2019 premiership flag which was done by life member and club patron Doug Murray alongside coach Adam Bovalino.

The game itself was a beauty with Mayne well and truly on top after a superb second quarter.

The Noosa boys had many wasted opportunities and went into the break three goals down in front of a massive pro home crowd.

The defending champs controlled the

second half led by four goals from young star Mav Pettigrove.

The Tigers eventually running out victors by 17 points.

Harry Maher celebrating his 21st birthday the same night was superb, collecting 28 touches across half back and along with skipper Laskey and key defender Buntain, just he’s the Brisbane Tigers at bay the entire second half.

Tyler Stack racked up 31 touches through the midfield to be one of the best with Fitzpatrick and recruit Hutchinson impressive for the most part also.

‘Hutchy’ already with a cult following among the tiger fans!

Our first ever Noosa Tigers women’s team took to the field following the main game and certainly did not disappoint the strong crowd that remained at the clubhouse.

A massive 10-goal win for the Peter Trompf coached Tigers with Hamilton, Mills, Hoesksra and Hughson the stand outs for the Tigers. Great stuff girls! The Seniors are away to Aspley this Saturday (Graham Rd) with the women to play Hinterland at Palmwoods on Saturday afternoon also. Just a brilliant day had by all who support the Roccocos bar and bistro Noosa Tigers.

Good luck to all our teams this weekend and remember to check the Noosa Tigers Facebook page for all the latest interviews and events!

First lady leads the way With all our football codes struggling to overcome the hurdles of the virus, some 260 junior Dolphins rugby players are just raring to go. Aged between 6 and 17, they have already received their playing kits and this Saturday, at Dolphin Park at 8 am, the first team of the season will take to the oval: and the games will continue till 3pm.

With a total of 18 teams registered (with teams including boys and girls) a busy season is assured for players, administrators and above all parents. Apart from creating the opportunity to play this great game on a famous oval, it is also, and in some ways, most important of all, grooming the youth of today in the finer points of the game.

This will for some, see them achieve their dreams of playing A grade in the senior club and even go on to represent, not only their state, but also get to ware that most famous jersey of all- the Green and Gold of the Wallabies.

The overall governance of the senior and junior clubs, is each under a President: for the seniors it is Donald McKillip and the juniors, for the first ever, it is a woman, Zoe Griffen.

When asked about the season ahead she answered with a laugh, “When the Dolphin juniors is run by a woman, how can it not be the best on the coast?” Gentlemen be warned here, is a lady who knows what she wants and where she is going.

Born in Sydney and educated at Loreto Kirribilli Convent, on graduating, she went on to study at the local University where she obtained her Bachelor of Education (specialising in Human Resources).

Following this, Zoe spent time in Sydney before travelling to London. “After a few years I got sick of the weather and returned home . I was not home for long when I met up with a Kiwi, a graphic designer named Tony: we married and now we are the proud parents of three kids Louie, Alfie and Annie. After a while,

Zoe Griffen with Dolphins senior vice-president Gregg Dodd we both decided that Sydney was not for us: what we both wanted was a lot of fresh air and open spaces; and we thought Noosa was just fine. So in 2008 we settled here and could not be happier.”

For Zoe, her interest in rugby started when she went to watch the Dolphins Rugby, with her husband and sons. It didn’t take long for her to become interested and after meeting up with the current junior president Rob Frey, she took a seat on the junior committee: now five years later, she not only stands as junior

president, but in doing so has created history by being the first woman ever to achieve this position.

However, apart from being fully supported by committee partner in crime Hayden Thomas, the committee now has approximately, a 50/50 women to men ratio. In support of this, there is a good working relationship between the senior President, his deputy and Zoe. Add to this behind the present structure is the newly appointed Rugby Co-ordinator, Geno Costin. This man, despite his short time in office,

has already made a big impression: observing senior and junior members, players, coaches and all involved, in what it takes, to ensure that, despite present problems, positive progress will be ongoing. “All range of players have benefited from his work and attitude.”

“One of the many key issues that we faced was the matter of coaches,” said Zoe. “In this we are very happy as we have a panel that is all qualified: for this we thank Queensland Rugby for providing coaching clinics. Then from u/13 and upwards we have non-parent coaches: everyone gets game time; and appropriate skills taught at appropriate levels. Most important of all, the kids are learning to love the game.

The role played by the parents is of the utmost importance: we want to create a feeling of friendship and we want them to know, that their kids get the right coaching and training.

In other words, create a second home, type environment.”

To help achieve this they have organised a training program with times to suit parents, The u/6 to u/12 train Friday pm and the u/13 to junior colts, train Tuesday and Thursday. “I will always encourage people, not be afraid to make changes when it is for the better of our club,” said Zoe One thing that has impressed most officials, is that despite the situation, no parents have so far asked for a refund; this shows that despite the situation they are willing to stand by their club. “Noted and appreciated,” said Zoe Regarding Zoe, retiring Junior President Rob Frey said, “With Zoe as president it will continue to ensure that the future of the game of Rugby is in good hands.” Senior club President Donald McKill added, “Zoe is very strong willed, runs a very tight ship and is our first ever lady president. Her management of the Covid-19 regulations for our club, was really outstanding. With so many young people involved, we could not have asked for more. I wish her well in the season ahead.”

Major step for newest sport: Pickleball is consolidated The first major step in consolidating a new sport is of course to build a good solid foundation, set the base and write the mission statement. On January of this year the base was set when the Pickleball Australia Association (PAA) was established and its Mission Statement announced. It is a not for profit organisation focused on nurturing the growth and development of pickleball Australia wide.

It was on February 13 this year, that Noosa Pickleball first talked with Noosa Today regarding their requirements :despite the virus things have really started to move. For Noosa, the sport is definitely up and running: with games organised according to the necessary health regulations.

In March Pickleball Association of Queensland (PAQ), became a founding State Member of Pickleball Australia Association (PAA), when they became affiliated with the national body. As a result of this they are now, “ ... very quickly building our membership.”

With the emphases of the older group keeping fit (men and women) in today’s situation, this could definitely be the perfect answer.

Unfortunately, as with many other sports in Australia, the National championships for 2020 have been cancelled; at present the possibility of a date in 2021 in Newcastle NSW, is being discussed. Regarding the Qld. titles it is hoped that the present date, late November early December 2020, will be achieved.

Also, a Brisbane Open Doubles tournament set down for 25/26 September, is on the hope list. Not to be out done, a Noosa tournament set for the near future, is definitely on the drawing board.

42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 24 July, 2020

The Noosa club arranged Sunday Picket ball at the Noosa Tennis Club, as soon as Covid restrictions allowed outdoor play. These games are proving popular and have generated lots of interest from the tennis players.

NPC has provided paddles, balls and nets for the tennis club to offer anyone that wants to try playing the game. For more information about the game visit-www.noosapickleballclub.com Regard the growth of the sport, a flyer just released states: If the growth of membership at club, state and national level continues at the present rate, pickleball player numbers, will begin to reflect that of other well- established sports, in 2-3 years. If the growth reflects that of pickleball in other countries, the target of 5000 players by 2023 will be easily achieved.

For those wishing to play in Noosa the place to go is the Noosa Leisure Centre.

Rowing Despite everything, one team of Noosa athletes who have stood strong would be the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving boat crews.

Last seasons’ results were indeed very good, but the cancellation of the National titles, were heart breaking: however, this has only made them more determined, knowing that from last season results, they have the ability to go all the way. The adrenaline is already starting to pump.

To be a member of a boat club, where the legend started way back in 1949,is enough to make any rower, from the youngest rookie to the oldest veteran, eager for the new season.

When discussing the season ahead, head sweep David Tomba pulled no punches. He

Randal Hunt, Vicki Crawford, John Murphy and Christine Murphy warned the team members it would not be easy and members should be prepared for a tough financial time ahead. “I have a dream and a vision of what I want,” he said. Totally supported by his team of sweeps and their positive team attitude, it can make his dream

and vision, a reality.

To wrap up the season, the major awards the Majan Strajnar Memorial Trophy for the best all round member of the boat section, went to Stewart Cooper and the best crew went to the Woodswollers.

SUNSHINE BRINGS OUT THE BIDDERS PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY

Tom Offermann’s Michael McComas and auctioneer Gordon Macdonald see the fivebedroom house with pool at 39 Solway Dve, Sunshine Beach, attract a starting bid of a neat $1m on Saturday morning.

Nannygai Street and set back from the road as well - so it’s your own private space, inside and out.

“First and foremost, buyers have told me they love the spacious and functional floorplan - especially the ensuite bedroom downstairs, and that both ensuited upstairs bedrooms offer a balcony of their own, as well as the separate study.

“The north-east facing terrace, balconies and living spaces means the property takes in the sun year-round.

“Several prospective buyers have commented that they are attracted to the high quality of construction and that the property is in such good condition.’’

Mr Miller has received interest from a combination of Noosa locals, Brisbane

townhome with pool at 2/8 Nannygai Street, Noosaville, he is taking to auction Saturday, 25 July, at 2pm.

“It’s a really exciting property, and just the thing for which many prospective buyers I’m speaking with have been keeping an eye out,’’ he said.

“Property buyers are attracted to the very convenient location - close to Noosaville essentials and recreation shopping, Gympie Terrace, Weyba Creek.

“Especially with the spectacular weather we’ve been having - there’s a great attraction to being able to stroll down to the walk along Weyba Creek or head down for a meal along the river.

“In addition, the private location of the townhome is ideal - that it is set in quiet

!

WITH the sun shining and about 20 people gathered on the front lawn of the five-bedroom house with swimming pool, it felt like anything but the middle of winter.

Yet the auction of 39 Solway Drive, Sunshine Beach, got under way Saturday morning with Michael McComas of Tom Offermann Real Estate the marketing agent.

There had been good interest in the renovated property throughout the campaign and Gordon Macdonald was calling the auction.

He announced there were two registered bidders and a similar number waiting to negotiate afterwards if the property did not sell under the hammer.

Bidding started at a neat $1million.

“Fairly offered nice and early,’’ the auctioneer said. “And the fridge is included... valued at $50,000 when you count the wine fridge.’’

The bidding continued in $100,000 rises then $50,000.

“Twelve and 50, 13, one three and 50.’’

The question was asked: ““Will you take $5000?’’

But the auctioneer replied: “I’d prefer we go in quarters at this stage ...

“Thirteen and 50. Are there any more offers otherwise we have some immediate conversations to make?’’

The property was passed in at that, with Michael McComas going immediately into negotiations with interested parties and written offers starting to be made on the day.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Chris Miller is very pleased to say that he is receiving strong enquiry and positive feedback for the three-bedroom, three-bathroom

buyers as well those from New South Wales and Victoria - some of who are in town, while others are taking advantage of private virtual inspections if they are not going to be in Noosa in the near future.

“Some buyers are attracted to the potential investment return such a quality property in this convenient location would offer.

“Naturally some buyers are keen to make the property home, while for others it will be their Noosa home away from home.’’

NOOSA HAS ITS OWN APPEAL Julie Bengtsson at Tom Offermann Real Estate is getting a wide range of inquiry on the three-bedroom, two-bathroom sub-penthouse at 1521/1 Lakeview Rise, Noosa Heads, she is taking to auction Saturday at midday.

Yet some of the most serious interest is from within Noosa itself with people looking to downsize, improve their position and take advantage of the 180-degree views.

These take in Lake Weyba, Mt Coolum, Noosa Springs golf course, the hinterland and beyond.

The brand-new sub-penthouse is on the second level and at the end of 11 apartments, with lift from the secure garage to all floors.

“We have been getting interstate interest, especially from Victoria,’’ Ms Bengtsson said, “as they cannot get here.

“Yet most interest is coming from close by. They love the fact the golf course is so handy.

“We have been getting second inspections.

“The apartment has never been lived in and the main appeal is that it is on one level and a really nice size.

“The views are quite surprising when you first come in … over the lake and the golf course, so you are not looking over the complex.’’

The relaxation of numbers at open for inspections following Queensland opening its borders has certainly had more people through, Ms Bengtsson said, but many cannot get here due to Covid-19 restrictions in Victoria.

“It’s rare for Tewantin to get 1014sq m with views of Lake Doonella,’’ Mr Smith said.

“There is a massive triple garage. All the living area faces north, elevated and architect designed.’’

The property has had a good initial response, Mr Smith said, attracting “a lot of people from all over … interstate and New Zealand.’’

The auction follows the successful sale of 116 Moorindil St, Tewantin.

The two-bedroom house on 842sq m was sold sight unseen.

“We had two or three offers and New South Wales people bought it while the Queensland border was closed,’’ Mr Smith said.

“What I’m finding is a huge percentage of buyers over the past 12 months are from South-east Queensland.

“Even though we have to deal with the restrictions of COVID-19, there have been a lot of sales ... it has not put that much of

restriction on sales.

“People are taking the opportunity to do something ... some want to do work on a property, others don’t. It’s your normal mix.’’

QUIET STREET SEEING PLENTY OF ACTIVITY Speaking with Marie Fetterplace of Robert James Realty this week and she was busy putting a sold sticker on a 674 square metre block of land at 16 Myles Street, Tewantin. It was listed for $599,000 but the agent was getting offers in the first week.

With a beautiful poinciana tree at the front, the property was bought by a local family with five children intending to build there.

“If you build up high you will get Noosa River views,’’ Ms Fetterplace said.

“Prices are going up in line with the houses.

“It’s a matter of supply and demand … and there is lots of demand.

“I have just sold three properties sight unseen ... two to Victorians and one to a Tasmanian.

“They just want to get up here.’’

The properties were priced from $600,000 to high $900,000s.

The $990,000 sale to Melbourne buyers was for a two-year-old house in Old Tewantin - at 12 Ada St which is a little nothrough road with only nine other houses in it.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom, architect-designed house came with a touch of retro, tonnes of modern features, environmental benefits, quality fixture and fittings throughout.

Now Ms Fetterplace has listed a threebedroom, two-bathroom house at 14 Ada St for $889,000.

It is on 506sq m with a small acreage opposite.

“People who have lived in the area for many years, they never knew the street existed.

“Noosa River is at the end of the street with no direct access, but there are water views from the front deck and you can catch the Noosa River breezes with the perfect north-east aspect.

“The home is 14 years old, presents well for its age, is vacant and ready for the new owner to move in.’’

If that’s not enough, Ms Fetterplace also has the property at 8-10 Ada St listed at offers over $1.220m.

That comprises 1012sq m - two 506sq m lots on different lot numbers and titles

SEA VIEW ELEGANCE ON ELANDA STANDING proudly to welcome the morning sun over the ocean with open arms, this glamorously attired residence occupies an elevated ocean view position on the very shoulder of the Sunshine Beach village hub and oceanfront parklands.

The generous home has wonderful street appeal perfectly framed by tended gardens lining twin driveway approach and a distinctive glass encased dome crowning the home in glorious light across two extremely versatile living and entertaining zones.

Admired for many years as a landmark residence of great character and interest in this peaceful dress circle location, double doors swing wide to a crisp white palette and an elegant foyer branches to a garden level lounge and internal access along the northern boundary to an automatic door garage. Wrought iron dresses the timber tread staircase and a set of translucent panels lends separation for a spacious living/rumpus room facing the rear grounds.

Ideal for eager guests, or simply enjoy as a fantastic poolside room viewing a freeform aggregate pool with coped edge and easy beach entry for the littlies and slightly older.

There is a kitchen along one wall, bathroom and private bedroom.

Day or night lit, the fully paved rear grounds are cradled by a verdant expanse of lush under planting, copses of swaying palm brushed by a sea breeze and, best of all, utmost privacy.

The fan shaped allotment and ingenious design provides great setbacks and there is a large open courtyard for stowing all the

boards, bikes and scooters, side access gate and a nearby lane leading to the village and patrolled surf beach.

Take yourself to the second level and overhead the void highlights honey-toned timber floors and the eastern sun greets you at a front of house kitchen sporting granite benches, quality appliances and soft close drawers in a gleaming 2-pac finish.

Tinted glazing diffuses light and open living spaces link to the soft curve of an eastern balcony.

Two bedrooms face down over the pool.

Occupying the northern wing an indulgently large and glamorously styled main bedroom is a suite in the truest sense. Morning sun greets you through soft chiffon drapes and a podium mounted spa bath seems the ideal spot to luxuriate and toast another great day at the beach.

The blues of the Coral Sea appear as you travel through the house and for the adventurous a set of ship stairs ascend through the void to a serene space that inspires meditative thought and captures sunsets through the palms of Mt Cooroy in the Noosa Hinterland.

Sunshine Beach needs little introduction to the world. This is a wonderful opportunity to put yourself in the picture and join the many already convinced locals and international visitors that know and love “Sunshine”.

Julie and Peter are duly excited to be appointed as exclusive marketing agents for what they agree is a unique, fastidiously maintained beach house, in a sensational location. ●

ON THE COVER

FORESHORE ADVENTURES WHERE SUMMER UNFOLDS NATURALLY LOOKING for an alluring showstopper apartment, located on the Noosa River foreshore, and blessed with impeccable wide waterway views including a nature reserve on the far side?

First impressions of this cool calming haven are outstanding. The light-drenched interior, with rich timber flooring, louvres, white shutters, and shades of grey throughout, oozes sleek on-trend style.

Lines are blurred to outdoors with the long entertaining-style balcony ‘wrapping’ two sides of the open plan dining/living space. Reach out and almost touch the coconut palm fronds, partially framing the great outdoors where the sunshine shimmers on the wide waterway. It is like a magnet drawing attention to the pelicans gliding by, boaties heading to the upper reaches of the Noosa River plus kayakers and stand-up paddle boarders taking advantage of the idyllic sub-tropical climate.

Look below. There is a jetty for tying up the tinnie or casting a fishing line, a lush lawn to lay out the beach towel after a swim in the resident’s only pool or the clear shallows of the Noosa River. For the kids it’s more about sandcastles, buckets, and spades on the white-sand foreshore.

The master suite with VJ-profile timber wall, built-in robes and generous ensuite also enjoys the river views.

A feature curved wall with timber struts on the right of the entrance is the perfect complement to the interior design, as is the galley-style kitchen with the latest appliances. Further along on the western side is a media room plus a double/twin bedroom, both with a highly effective VJprofile wall. A family-style bathroom has laundry appliances plus there is a separate toilet.

“This superbly presented apartment in a small complex of just six is in a quiet cul-de-sac,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Rebekah Offermann, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 1 August 2020.

“Location and lifestyle are the absolute key here, especially when you consider it’s a short walk to everything Noosa Heads including nationally recognised restaurants at Quamby Place, as well as Hastings Street with its myriad boutiques, cafes, galleries and north-facing Main Beach where safe swimming and surfing are yearround.” ●

HOME FOCUS

LUXURIOUS FAMILY LIVING AT SUNSHINE STRETCHED over three levels and crafted to maximise the panoramic ocean views, this home is for those craving space, privacy and an unbeatable Sunshine Beach location.

The main living spaces are housed on the first level with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone opening out to the expansive and covered entertaining balcony. This is the perfect place to take in the ocean vista while cooking on the barbecue, relaxing with guests or sipping your morning coffee and checking the surf.

Timber floors flow throughout this level including in the well-appointed kitchen with sweeping bench tops and quality appliances. The living zone also connects to a rear, partially covered patio that overlooks the generous and fenced backyard. The kids and family pet will love the expanse of lush lawn while the pergola provides the ideal setting to bask in the dappled sunshine and admire the peaceful surrounds.

The upper level offers two bedrooms and a study including the master with a walk-in wardrobe and a two-way ensuite with a separate bath, shower and toilet.

Two additional bedrooms are nestled on the ground level along with a bathroom, a two-car tandem garage and plenty of storage space.

A main-level laundry and powder room add convenience plus there are ceiling fans throughout the home and built-in wardrobes to each of the secondary bedrooms. The interior’s crisp neutral colour palette and oversized windows perfectly highlight the shimmering water views while also ensuring the layout feels generous, light and inviting.

You can walk just steps from your front door to the beach or head down to the Sunshine Beach village where a host of boutique shops, cafes and renowned restaurants await.

The revamped Sunshine Beach SLSC is also nearby along with the Noosa National Park plus you’re just minutes from the bustling Noosa Junction and Noosa Heads. ●

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT SNAPPED UP EARLY AN ENTIRE new industrial development at 21-25 Kerryl Street in Kunda Park has been snapped up prior to its final completion on the Sunshine Coast.

The new development of about 2200 square metres featured eight industrial units, with seven having been leased prior to the construction work being completed, with the final one being leased immediately after completion.

The design of the development was very appealing to tenants with a wide return driveway, 10 roller doors, excellent natural light and ample on-site parking.

While the development was designed for eight tenants, it has been leased to three, with the Sunshine Coast 2019 Small Retail Business Award winner Abide Interiors taking up about 1100 square metres as their furniture business continued to expand.

Sajani, a local one-stop-shop supplier to the ice cream/gelato industry, has also expanded to secure two of the tenancies with about a 490 square metre area.

“We’ve seen a strong surge of business growth on the Sunshine Coast post-lockdowns with many businesses looking at expanding their businesses and optimizing their processes,” said Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast

Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North Property Consultants Matt Marenko and David C Smith at 21-25 Kerryl Street.

North property consultant Matt Marenko.

“The Sunshine Coast is continuing to grow and has been quite protected, and now with tourism kicking back in, the region is a hive of activity.

“In my 40 years of working in the Sunshine Coast’s commercial market, I haven’t witnessed such a positive shift,” said Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North property consultant David C Smith.

“The region feels like it’s now maturing into its own independent economy with the population growth driving more businesses to locate themselves here.” ●

COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES TURNING HEADS

BY ERLE LEVEY THERE is plenty of activity in Noosa commercial property despite the distractions to the market due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Tracey Ryan and David Brinkley of Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North have been getting a steady response to the auction of a high-span factory/warehouse at Noosaville they are taking to auction Friday, 24 July, at 11am.

The property at 2/19 Production Street is one of two buildings on the site on separate titles.

“It’s a great shed,’’ Ms Ryan said.

“Maybe over-engineered.

“There is a high-clearance warehouse and extra strength to the concrete flooring to take heavy vehicles. The property is fenced and the building has multiple bays so you could sub-lease it.’’

There is about 330 square metres of floor area plus mezzanine, and includes two air-conditioned offices, amenities and security system.

The four-bay workshop has individual roller door of about 4.5m x 5m. Threephase power is in every bay and an undercover loading bay is at the rear.

There is extensive car parking front and back, with seven exclusive use, plus covered hardstand to the rear of the building.

“There is plenty going on in Noosa,’’ Ms Ryan said. “This should offer a good buy.

“We are seeing a lot of investors as well as owner-occupiers. With coronavirus and the share market, people are all over the shop.

“They are looking for good, solid bricks and mortar to get a return from, and know it’s going to be there next week.

“The thing is there is a shortage of

sheds in Noosa - especially for anything you get in this price range.

“People are buying. Noosa always bounces back.’’

Ms Ryan recently sold 6 Leo Alley in Noosaville for $696,000, a tenanted shed of similar size to Production Street, with 275 square metres under roof. com.au

Commercial properties at 6/8 Selkirk Drive, 8/1 Selkirk Drive, and 7/54 Rene Street, Noosaville, are also under offer “There are definitely people looking. If we had more stock we would be selling it.’’

The auction of 2/19 Production Street, Noosaville, will be held in-rooms at 90 Goodchap Street, Noosaville. ● noosatoday.com.au
