Surf’s up, dog! Noosa Main Beach and the natural amphitheatre of First Point will doubtlessly be packed once more as spectators flood to see the tenth annual Surfing Dog Championships. Ten talented pups and their owners will paddle out to battle it out for the Best Wave Award in this year’s much anticipated contest. As with many events in 2021, the VetShopAustralia Surfing Dog Championships had to be postponed, but they will be taking place as part of the Noosa Heads Noosa Festival of Surfing on Saturday 15 May at 1:30pm. Former World Tandem Surfing Champion, Chris de Aboitiz and his loyal companion Rama will once more lead the pack out into the surf closely followed by last years winners, Paul Jones and his Spanador (Spaniel x Labrador) Hugsley, and Chris and his ball-mad Kelpie, Banjo. Taking to the surf to show the boys how it’s done are dynamic duo Caitlin and Anna the Border Collie, Eliza and her buddy William, a Retriever x Kelpie, and newcomers Michele and Poppy the Groodle (Golden Retriever x Poodle), the first ever -Oodle cross competitor.

CEO calls it a day By Phil Jarratt This time next year Noosa’s loss may well be remote Cape York’s gain, as retiring Noosa Council CEO Brett de Chastel fulfils his dream of volunteering and mentoring around the Aboriginal Councils of the region. Not that the hard-working CEO, who last week announced his plan to retire in February 2022, will be calling anywhere but Noosa home, but since he worked as a consultant to the communities during a hiatus between working on the amalgamated Sunshine Coast Council and becoming the backroom genius of the de-amalgamation campaign, he has developed a passion for helping First Nations gov-

ernance develop. Speaking about his earlier work on Cape York, Mr de Chastel told Noosa Today last year: “Some of the most personally satisfying work of my career has been in working with the Indigenous councils of Cape York. It was a tremendously rewarding experience and I met some amazing people.” In an exclusive interview with Noosa Today last Friday, Mr de Chastel outlined his plans for after he brings the curtain down on a distinguished local government career on February 2, 2022, just short of his 60th birthday. Mr de Chastel first joined Council in 2001 as its Director of Corporate Services and became the CEO at the beginning of 2014. In eight

years in the top job, he helped steer the organisation though de-amalgamation, and his guidance and leadership proved invaluable in delivering a string of balanced budgets, while keeping debt at low levels. Mr de Chastel has been pivotal in guiding Council through the response and recovery of the shire through the Covid crisis. “Now is the right time for me, my family and more importantly for this organisation,” he said. “Announcing my intention to transition to retirement early gives the Council ample time to find a replacement and ensure there is a smooth handover to the new CEO.” A 32-year veteran of local government, Mr de Chastel has served under three mayors

in Noosa as CEO, has been a member of the board of the Local Government Managers Association since 2016 and is the current LGMA State President. Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart paid tribute to Brett’s leadership and thanked him for his contribution to the community. “Brett has provided a wealth of support to the elected council and we certainly thank him for his tireless work and dedication,” she said. “He will be sorely missed and I know all staff thank Brett for his wisdom, support and ongoing commitment.” PHIL JARRATT PUTS THE CEO IN THE HOTSEAT PAGE 29

Surfing dogs From page 1 Also celebrating ten years as a sponsor, VetShopAustralia has teamed up with new pet parasiticide product Simparica Trio, to promote the importance of choosing the right kind of protection for dogs living the enviable Sunshine Coast lifestyle. VetShopAustralia head veterinarian Dr Mark Perissinotto said of the new partnership, “Simparica Trio is the first product on the market that incorporates veterinary-grade heartworm protection in a tasty chew along with fast-acting flea and tough tick defence as well as treating intestinal worms.” “It is so important for active dogs that love to get out and about with their family on hikes or walks in the bush to have the right protection.” Making the annual trek up from the Gold Coast are best buds and crowd favourites Sam and his British Bulldog, Porkchops. They’ll join the biggest competitor, 42kg Golden Retriever

Cooper with his owner Jay in the battle for the Best Wave Award. All fingers and paws are crossed that restrictions don’t prohibit long-time, dedicated competitors Rob and his rescue dog Spike from travelling up from Melbourne to compete as they have done every year since 2018. Entertaining the crowd before the main event will be one-time surfing competitor turned amazing acro dog, Sage the Border Collie with her owner and surfer Dan, who you can catch on the sand in front of the VetShopAustralia tent before the main event. Crowds are also encouraged to visit the Simparica Trio team at their pop-up stand on the beach to collect a free sample and some swag for their pooch. For more information on this free event, follow the Surfing Dog Championships Instagram account as they count down to the big day www.instagram.com/surfingdogchampionships/ .

I hope all the mums had a lovely Mothers Day last Sunday. It was certainly a beautiful day in Noosa with many people to be seen about the shire. Festivals have returned to Noosa with the Noosa Festival of Surfing the first to be held in the Shire since COVID restrictions began 14 months ago and hopefully the waves will be in our favour. The festival will kick off tomorrow and run until 23 May with a variety of events including the very popular dog surfing on Saturday. Speaking of dogs is it just me or are there more people walking their dogs off leash lately. I’m all for dog freedom and off leash dog parks but I just find it a tad infuriating, even though I am an absolute dog lover.Maybe I’m being over protective. My dog is getting on in years and is having treatment for cancer so she’s not as spritely or as happy to meet other dogs as she used to be. So I’m less than thrilled when someone wanders by with their unleashed dog heading in our direction, casually claiming, “it’s OK, it’s friendly“.In other news Council’s CEO Brett de Chastel has announced his retirement early next year. We’ll miss his calm, knowledgeable presence in Council but wish him well in his future pursuits.

Council signs MOU with USC

Heritage in Noosa By Margaret Maccoll There’s a lot of nostalgia among Noosa locals and now a new Noosa Library portal called Heritage Noosa is being launched next Wednesday evening that will enable people to view and research Noosa historical information as well as contribute their own stories to build it. Images of bullock teams at Cootharaba, Gympie Terrace in 1940 or Hoffman’s Weyba Ranch are among the online collections held in the Noosa Library Service Heritage Library that includes images, videos, interviews, documents, maps and memorabilia to be accessed

with a couple of clicks on a computer. Heritage Noosa operates through an online community engagement platform, Recollect, that makes it easy to find information and images. People can log on to Heritage Noosa from their own computers or the computers at the library and can search family histories, historic events or look at old photos. They can access video and audio. Heritage librarian Jane Harding has spent the past nine months transposing information held in the library or from resident’s private collections on to the platform and is excited to announce it is ready to go live.

“It will bring heritage to where the people are,“ she said. The platform will be available 24/7 any time from anywhere in the world. Jane said the historic collection was built through the generosity of locals who provided their historic material to the library through donation or for scanning and she hopes many more will now contribute to the online resource directly by adding information or uploading images and videos. On Wednesday 19 May at 5.30pm as the portal goes live online Jane will host a free event at Lions Park, Gympie to showcase Heritage Noosa while screening some of the collection’s 15,000 historic images on the stage wall.

With Central Queensland University campus shutting its doors in Noosa last year Noosa Council has taken steps to build relationships with Sippy Downsbased University of the Sunshine Coast through a Memorandum of Understanding. Mayor Clare Stewart joined councillors and Council CEO to meet in February with the university’s vice chancellor and senior staff to explore opportunities to work more closely together in the future. A MOU was drafted to help establish a working relationship which can lead to specific projects that the parties can do together. Council CEO Brett de Chastel said the document was not legally binding and did not have financial implications but provided a framework for the organisations to work together. He said the intent of the MOU was to assist Council and USC to identify specific projects that could be developed. A Management Committee will be established to nurture the working relationship and a joint MOU Working Group set up to identify projects to consider.Noosa Council may identify particular subjects that could be researched by USC students looking to undertake real-life research projects, there may be opportunities for USC to undertake student placements at Noosa Council and there may be opportunities to jointly run events and symposiums. The MOU is being discussed this month in Council meetings.

Long wait on Wahpunga Lane Bridge still continues

cil when it promised more than $2 million would be spent to replace it as well as Cooran’s Tablelands Road Bridge. In January 2021 Council announced “preliminary site investigations” were about to take place with soil testing and surveying to be done in January and February. And in April this year the Mayor announced the bridge was in the capital works budget for replacement at a cost of $1.6 million. The bridge was also mentioned in the Senate during 2020 Estimates Hearings when it was listed under the Bridges Renewal Program round 4. And the Queensland Government included it in the Queensland Transport and Roads Investment program for 2020/21 to 2023/24, noting both federal and local governments were contributing $764,000 toward the replacement cost.

“Kinnections advises you not to hold your breath for a June 30 ribbon cutting ceremony,” Nick said, and he’d be right. The Kin Kin Wahpunga Lane Bridge Renewal is listed in Council’s Capital Works schedule noted in Monday’s Services and Organisation Committee meeting. It’s original budget is set at almost $1.48 million but the current budget on the project is less than $35,000. Council’s Infrastructure Planning, Design and Delivery Manager, Craig Eldridge said the Wahpunga Lane Bridge project was “a multiyear project which is currently undergoing tender assessment“. “Council’s capital schedule has been adjusted to reflect the phasing of this project in alignment with the construction spending which will see the bulk of the funding spent in the 2021/22 financial year.“

Kin Kin residents are wondering what has happened to the replacement of Wahpunga Lane Bridge after years of announcements but no obvious change to the ageing timber bridge. In his Kin Kin Kinections newsletter Nick Thompson has recalled the political announcements of the replacement of the timber bridge from federal and local governments over the past two years. Nick said the announcements began in 2019 with Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien saying $763,661 of federal money would fund a replacement precast concrete structure. The Bridges Renewal Program construct would have “significant flow-on benefits for businesses and tourism as well as creating jobs during the construction process” Mr O’Brien said at the time. In June 2019 Noosa Council announced $200,000 would be spent on the commence-

COVID co-working surge By Margaret Maccoll Co-working spaces are popping up across Noosa as the pandemic has forever changed the way people work. This is the first time in human history you can be living in Noosa and working for a Fortune 100 company, Peregian Beach Digital Hub director Chris Boden said. The technology has enabled people to work remotely for years but only since people were forced to work from home due to COVID has it been tested and proven, he said. The Digital Hub is a clear example of the changes happening worldwide in the working environment. Its diverse group of members are working for companies around the world including those listed in the top 100 and 500 in the US in jobs that were previously only available to people living in places like New York. “If you have the right skills you can get jobs with these companies living in Noosa,” he said. It’s a new socio-economic factor that will change things, he said. “Mobility is the key impacter that is shaping the future of work and co-working spaces are a symptom of that mobility,” he said. “COVID has exacerbated what was becoming obvious, that work could be done technically and people can be highly productive in remote settings. “People can shift to where they want to live and take on jobs never available before. “There were never offers of decent jobs in places like Noosa but now people can bring their work with them moving to Noosa is a different proposition.“ Not only are people bringing their high flying jobs to Noosa, they are gaining them without leaving town. “People are applying and gaining jobs through video-conferencing. This situation would never have occurred pre-COVID but the pandemic has really forced this to occur and it’s becoming increasingly more acceptable,” Chris said. Now the opportunity to work from home has been realised a lot of people are finding that there are aspects of work people miss in a home office and co-working spaces are filling that void. Facilities such as fast wifi and printing are practical benefits of co-working spaces but it’s the human factor - HR, supportive management, aspirational colleagues, going to lunch with friends, that people crave, Chris said. Parts of the corporate experience people are happy to leave behind include long commutes to the office in heavy traffic, unpleasant office politics or having to wear a uniform. But it’s the social aspect of work and learning from colleagues that people want. Chats at the water cooler, a shared lunch and the inspiration gained from discussion with people in a workplace are elements of work not available in a home office, Chris said. And in any workplace, even in a large corporation, people are regularly working on different projects at neighbouring desks, which is little different from the situation in a co-working space.

Co-working at The Space Noosa “We’ve got people doing the best work without the management they had,” Chris said. This new style of work space still has a few challenges to meet with practices such as video conferencing and phone calls not being conducive to working in an open office. “It can be quite annoying to have people near you on a 45 minute conference call,” Chris said. While the Peregian Beach Digital Hub is at capacity and has been for some time with a waiting list of people wanting to move in, more co-working spaces are permeating Noosa or growing in response to the increasing demand. Junction 2 owner Carly Reeves said while co-working spaces had existed for some time and the industry had long claimed the rise of co-working was imminent she agreed it was really the pandemic that forced the hand of large

organisations to fold it into their businesses. Carly said the influx of professionals from Sydney and Melbourne to Noosa became obvious to her when the sea changers or tree changers came to Junction 2 looking for temporary work spaces while they searched for property to make their move permanent. Many of those have since sought permanent co-working spaces after making the move and realising they still needed a professional environment in which to work, she said. Carly said she had seen a big increase in demand for professional workspaces with facilities such as video conferencing on the rise as it becomes the preferred way of communicating for remote workers.Aimee Sherriff of The Space Noosa has been inundated with interest from people working from home wanting to move to a co-working space. The Noosaville work place offers work facilities including re-

ceptionist services and the human factor. “It’s the opportunity to get out of the mundane working from home. There’s the social aspect, you can get more work down then you’re around creative people,” she said. Aimee said having people with different skills in one place can also be helpful with people sharing their knowledge. The Space Noosa has a full house of members, each with a dedicated desk who come and go as they choose and occasionally a transient worker will drop in for a day to use the services provided. Aimee said the variety of co-working spaces appearing in Noosa was providing choice for people to find a place that best met their needs. Some have more of a community feel and others are more corporate, she said.

Domestic violence rising By Margaret Maccoll Domestic violence breaches have risen almost 50 per cent across Noosa in the past financial year and police-initiated domestic violence orders are on the rise with increased costs of living thought to be a contributing factor toward domestic violence locally. Having identified DV as an issue in the Noosa Shire with a gap in DV services Mayor Clare Stewart met with Noosa Police and initiated a dialogue which she says is ongoing. “The meeting discussed the need to try and improve our domestic violence issues,“ she said. “Discussions are at a preliminary stage. Data is currently being collected, options are being explored and we are working through these options.“ Noosa officer in charge, Snr Sgt Ben Carroll said Noosa Police had applied for 94 domestic violence orders this financial year to date with seven weeks still to go.“Last year police made 103 police applications across the entire financial year so we expect to surpass last financial years number of police applications,” he said. “There have been 32 private applications this

financial year to date, with 52 reported last year.” In the first five months of this year there have been 58 new DV applications in Noosa. That’s 58 new families affected by domestic violence in Noosa. Snr Sgt Carroll said domestic violence was found across all age groups and all demographics. The majority of victims were female but males can also be the victims. Only last week a DV application was taken out against a woman in her 70s with a man the victim, he said. “We consider one of the contributors could be people being under a lot of pressure given fiscal constraints around the increased costs of housing and living within Noosa and the added pressure that brings upon relationships,” Snr Sgt Carroll said. Unfortunately taking out a DV order does not always stop the aggressor from breaching those orders. Snr Sgt Carroll said police figures show 151 DV breaches had been recorded so far this financial year with projections suggesting 170

would be received by June 30. That’s an increase of about 55 reported DV breaches, he said. “It’s a significant increase.” Despite this increase Noosa Heads Police are rising to the challenge and focussing their efforts heavily on the investigation of domestic violence offences. Almost 80 per cent of breach DV order offences for the current financial year have already been solved, Snr Sgt Carroll said. “We investigate each breach and we charge them when we can,” he said. The diligent work of Noosa Police has resulted in “a higher clear up rate than the current state average” meaning they have solved a greater percentage of breaches than the State as a whole as well as the Sunshine Coast District. Snr Sgt Carroll said Noosa had a high risk team of officers who were very busy scrutinising DV issues, particularly in families considered high risk. Police hope the Noosa police region will soon obtain its own domestic and family services with clients now having to travel to Co-

oroy and Maroochydore for support. “Whilst there are excellent DV support agencies servicing Noosa based out of Cooroy and Maroochydore there are none directly situated within Noosa,” Snr Sgt Carroll said. “Police work closely with local service providers in referring victims and perpetrators so they are connected to the right support service. It is hoped going forward that domestic and family violence services will expand to the point we have a service located within Noosa, thus reducing the need for clients to have to travel for meetings.” The Queensland Police Service, whilst a significant stakeholder in the investigation side of domestic violence matters, are but one of a vast array of government and non-government agencies working collectively to address DFV within our community. Other involved departments include The Justice and AttorneyGeneral’s Department, Corrective Services, Communities and Housing, QLD Health and Education Queensland, who are all key government agencies.

Sunshine Coast community unites at march and vigil

Queensland Police Service Assistant Commissioner Ben Marcus, Ms Oehlman, Mr Beck, Sunshine Coast Council Community Development Officer Cindi Coinix and Cr Law proudly show their support. “It’s an opportunity to stand up as a community and say no to violence,” Mr Beck said. “It’s also a time to remember the lives lost and acknowledge the impact of domestic and family violence. In Australia, one in four women have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner and a similar number have experienced emotional abuse by a current or former partner. Of those women more than half had children in their care. “Centacare’s services across the Sunshine Coast focus on risk assessment, safety planning, advocacy, court support and strong collaboration with Police, Child Safety and our community agencies. We work towards

More than 300 people joined the sea of purple to show their support for victims of DV.

women and children being able to stay safely in their homes where possible through collaborative system responses designed to address perpetrator behaviours and increase their accountability.” Sunshine Coast Council Division 4 Councillor Joe Natoli said domestic and family violence could happen anywhere at any time. “We cannot assume that abusive behaviour is physical and only happens to certain people,” Cr Natoli said. “It can be emotional, sexual, financial, social, verbal, psychological, technology-based or other controlling and threatening behaviours that cause another person to be afraid or scared.

“I’m really pleased to see people show their support for this event as council’s Sunshine Coast Community Strategy 2019-2041 outlines domestic violence as a key focus area to which council is committed to addressing through partnership, collaboration, advocacy and direct action.” For more information about domestic and family violence visit council’s website. If you suspect that someone you know is being abused, there are three ways that you can help, depending on the situation. 1. Talk to the victim 2. Provide resources and help them take action 3. In an emergency, call triple zero (000).

More than 300 people gathered to pay their respects and show their support to victims of domestic and family violence in a moving candlelight vigil and community march at Maroochydore. Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month is now well underway, a state-wide initiative encouraging communities across Queensland to stand as one and send a clear message that domestic and family violence in families and homes will not be tolerated. Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said the Let’s Grow Together event, hosted in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council and Centacare, was well attended and not only helped spread awareness of the important issue, it also shone the spotlight on support services available. “Last night was very moving for many of us who attended and marched together and it was a humbling experience,” Cr Law said. “At the same time it was very important to be part of the march and vigil so that anyone who is in a violent situation can know with confidence that our community cares and we are here to assist. “Every single person in our community has a right to feel safe yet domestic and family violence is a crime that doesn’t discriminate and continues to happen. “Domestic and family violence must stop.” Centacare Sunshine Coast Area Manager Adam Beck said the vigil was one of the key events held during Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month and the organisation was proud to have been involved in facilitating the Sunshine Coast event since 2003.

Kate Bevilaqua is the 2021 Ultraman Australia female champion.

Shane Kent is the Ultraman Australia champion for 2021.

Super athletes endure By Abbey Cannan Dressed in a Superman shirt, Shane Kent finished the last leg of a 515km endurance race at Noosa Main Beach, earning his title as the Ultraman Australia champion for 2021. Kate Bevilaqua was this year’s female champion of the unbelievable, three-day annual race that has been running in Noosa since 2015. Shane finished the race in 22 hours and 32 minutes, while Kate completed the event in 23 hours and 17 minutes. The competition attracts athletes who seek to explore the extreme in physical and mental abilities, on an invitation-only basis.

On May 8,9 and 10, 35 athletes from across Australia came together to participate in the event which was cancelled last year due to Covid-19. Event Coordinator Mel Kemp said it was amazing to be back in Noosa. “It was such a loss for everybody to not be able to have the race last year, and also for the teams who organise it all,“ she said. “Covid has put such a dampener on many sports, especially something like Ultraman where they put so much training into it. “Words can’t describe the amount of emotion that was shown at each finish line each

day from those athletes being able to compete again. “It was amazing to see Kate Bevilaqua who broke a couple of records in her race.“ Day one of the contest began with a 10km ocean swim, followed by a 140km bike ride through the spectacular Sunshine Coast Hinterland.Day two was a 280km bike ride, and day three saw the athletes up early for a double marathon - that’s an 84.3km run. The 2021 field included a number of returning athletes, but most were new to the distance. Nine females competed along with 26

males. The youngest athlete to take on the challenge was 27, along with seven incredible athletes in their 50s. Just under half of the competitors were from Queensland, with athletes and their crews travelling from almost every state to race. Mel said there were also some Noosa locals who took on the challenge. “They did really well and it’s great to see that it’s not just athletes coming from far and wide, it’s also challenging some of the Noosa locals,“ she said. “We also had a handful of volunteers from Noosa which was wonderful.“

Sunshine Beach on top Australia’s Unley Park. Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach is second on the list. Living in the front row at the beach has never been more desirable and fiercely competed for, after-all owning an absolute beachfront home is the hallmark of success, the epitome of coastal living.“It’s always been the case,” Noosa real estate principal Tom Offermann said. “These AAA-grade properties attract enormous interest when they hit the market, and the majority of people enquiring make com-

The appeal of Noosa property continues to go from strength to strength. The latest data from the REA Group has revealed a Sunshine Beach street is among the best in Australia. A combination of search data and house price growth, pinpoints where property seekers on realestate.com.au wanted to live, and the top 10 most popular streets in luxury suburbs. Australia’s favourite street in a luxury neighbourhood based on views per listing for the past 12 months was Victoria Avenue in South

ments such as ‘gone out of my price range’. “This is nothing new and interestingly, it was the same when beachfront properties were selling for $200,000 in the early ’90s.“In recent weeks land at 66 Seaview Terrace attracted well over 200 inquiries, six were registered to bid and it sold for $7.7m.”At 10am on Saturday, May 15, the auction spotlight will be on almost a hectare of absolute beach frontage - the widest on Noosa’s eastern seaboard. There are no neighbours, only a dazzling white sand beach equivalent to two football field lengths.

“The response to Castaways Point, which has been in the Flynn family since 1977, has been phenomenal,” Mr Offermann said, “and with nothing else like it along the beachfront, it is a challenge for buyers to assess its value. “There isn’t even a regular-size beachfront block in existence in Castaways Beach, let alone one 15 times the size of a regular block. “This presents an opportunity to secure a-AAA grade beachfront estate which can honestly be described as totally unique, and one that will always lead the market in value growth.”

Strong credit rating confirmed for Noosa Council Noosa Council’s strong financial management has contributed to the organisation receiving a sound credit rating following a credit review by the Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC). The QTC completed the review based on information provided by council up to February 2021. Mayor Clare Stewart said the rating clearly shows council’s finances are in good hands. “It’s been a very challenging 12 months and likely to be another tough few years’, but this rating is testament to the fiscal response from the entire management team,” she said. The QTC said the sound rating with a neutral outlook is underpinned by Noosa’s historical financial performance, relatively low debt levels and strong cash position. The rating was consistent with the previous credit review undertaken by the QTC in 2019. Director of Corporate Services Michael Shave said the neutral outlook rating means

there are no known foreseeable events over the next 12-24 months that would have a direct impact on Council’s capacity to meet its financial commitments. “We continue to work hard to ensure Council’s finances are healthy and sustainable, while delivering critical infrastructure and appropriate levels of service for our community,” he said. Cr Stewart said responsible fiscal management would remain a cornerstone of current and future budget deliberations, underpinned by Council’s financial sustainability policy. “Residents can be assured that council is well equipped to provide services and build infrastructure, however we need to be mindful of the need to have financial capacity to respond to any potential ongoing adverse impacts from the pandemic,” she said. “I would like to congratulate Councillors and staff for their diligence in achieving such a great result.”

Noosa Council has received a sound credit rating.

Small business bonanza The Sunshine Coast business community will gather to celebrate Small Business Month will a special breakfast celebrating resilience and focusing on how to Bounce Back Better. The annual event on Thursday 20 May, hosted by the Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance, is the perfect forum to join fellow small business professionals in sharing stories of success, strategies for growth and to reflect on learnings from the past 12 months of business resilience. The breakfast will also mark the launch of the 2021 Sunshine Coast Business Awards, powered by LPE, with entries officially opening. Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance Vice Chair, and Sunshine Coast Business Awards Chair Jennifer Swaine said the 250 tickets

available for the event were selling fast. “The Breakfast is also an opportunity to learn from a panel of past Sunshine Coast Business Awards winners, who will be interviewed by Sunshine Coast Council Head of Economic Development Andrew Eves-Brown. “On the panel are Australian chef, restaurateur & media personality Peter Kuruvita, Nicki Farrell from Wildlings Forest School, Naomi Elliot from Concept Labs and Brigid Woolnough from Kokopod. “The event will also provide the opportunity to hear of the initiatives of the Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance, Sunshine Coast Council and Noosa Council in supporting our business community,” Mrs Swaine said. Regional Development Australia Sunshine Coast CEO Paul Fisher will MC the event and

welcome Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson, Sunshine Coast Chamber Alliance Chair Wallis Westbrook, Damien Glanville, CEO of LPE, the first naming sponsor in the Sunshine Coast Business Awards’ 26-year history and Sunshine Coast Business Awards Chair Jennifer Swaine. Mrs Swaine said with many businesses still dealing with the challenges created by the pandemic, the Breakfast would also provide information to assist the small business . Tickets for the breakfast are expected to sell out early so book now to avoid disappointment at https://www.trybooking.com/events/ landing?eid=743101& To find out more about the Awards or nominate a business visit https://sunshinecoastbusinessawards.com.au/

Brigid Woolnough from Kokopod will also be at the small business breakfast.

Early works to start on first stage of Tewantin Bypass Early works will get underway on the first stage of the Tewantin Bypass in coming weeks as the final design for the new roundabout at the Cooroy-Noosa Road and Beckmans Road intersection progresses. Mayor Clare Stewart said the design work completed to date had identified the alignment of the new intersection, allowing vegetation clearing and relocation of energy and water infrastructure to start. “Seeing this project start to take shape after so many years is an exciting milestone,” Ms Stewart said. “The preliminary design for the intersection upgrade has enough detail to locate where vegetation will need to make way for the new roundabout and relocation of utilities. “We have engaged fauna and flora special-

ists to give the project team advice about the best way to manage this process to minimise the environmental impacts. “Plants and shrubs will also be planted to offset any vegetation that needs to be removed as part of the project. “Once the area is clear, Energex and UnityWater can relocate services. Getting this work completed early cuts down the time it will take to complete the major intersection upgrade once design is complete.” Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the $9.81 million project was being jointly delivered by the state and council under the Queensland Government’s $400 million road stimulus package. “This Palaszczuk Government project is one of hundreds of road upgrades being de-

livered across Queensland to supercharge the economy through the COVID-19 recovery,” Mr Bailey said. “The new, two-lane roundabout at CooroyNoosa Road and Beckmans Road was a top priority for the community and we are getting on with the job of delivering it and supporting jobs for local people along the way.” Mr Bailey thanked Noosa MP Sandy Bolton for her work in representing the community and driving the project forward. “Sandy Bolton has been a strong advocate of the Tewantin Bypass, and instrumental in getting the project to the stage it is today,” he said. Ms Stewart said vegetation clearing would start in May, with the relocation of services to take place in the following months.

“While a lot of the work will take place off Beckmans Road, some will be on or near the existing road, and keeping workers and motorists safe will be a priority,” she said. “Lower speed limits will apply, and motorists are reminded to take note of changed traffic conditions and any directions given by traffic control. “Council will also post updates to Facebook to let motorists and locals know when to expect changed traffic conditions. “We thank the community for their patience while this important project is underway.” Project design is expected to be complete by June 2021 with main construction to start in late 2021, weather and construction conditions permitting.

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Party politics won’t fix it With so much fodder coming via my inbox, Facebook and in Parliament, I am always spoilt for choice on column topics! Especially fertile are ‘Letters to the Editor’ and one recently highlighted the importance of clarifying misconceptions as a knowledgeable community is powerful indeed! In the March 26 edition, a writer believed that the inappropriate volume of heavy haulage through our hinterland villages on a road not designed for, would be ‘fixed’ if we had an MP aligned to a political party, and that even an opposition MP is more effective than an Independent MP? Let’s think about this. Firstly, our previous MPs were aligned to parties as either government or opposition at some point over the period when our community fought this, including through a court case. That they did not ‘fix’ this when they had opportunity demonstrates a serious flaw in this belief. Secondly, that I inherited this and other major issues of some twenty years including Six Mile Bridge #7, and Beckmans Rd further puts even more holes in the argument that only party aligned MPs are effective. To some facts. Happily, most of the historical issues I inherited have been addressed or are in progress, including funding for the ‘big ticket’ items and the lesser though equally important, such as improved river management and testing. As an Independent I have access, as all Members do, to Ministers and have the same

per member allocation to questions put during Parliament. That an issue cannot be resolved as we would like is not a reflection on my alliance, which is to the people of the Noosa electorate, nor the Ministers that are held accountable for failings. Some of our ‘gremlins’, such as the current haulage issue, is from an aged framework, with a lack of mechanisms embedded in which to review when needed, including environmental authorities issued decades ago. When it comes to the safety of any community, who is representing should be irrelevant especially around inadequate infrastructure and dangerous conditions. And if it is not, then the system is even more broken than what I have outlined in several realms during Parliament, and why I will continue working for an independent review of these systems as part of modernizing government and MP performance to meet community expectations. As I said in a recent speech, there is nothing to fear with independent scrutiny. No one in any community, or those that represent them, should oppose efforts for greater operational efficiencies, equities, and deliverables. We have much to do, and we cannot sit on excuses such as ‘that’s the policy’, ‘that is how it is done’ or that favourite go to of ‘that’s politics’. We can, and always, must do better. Until next time, keep asking the questions and challenging systems that no longer serve us well. It is all about how we can, versus why we cannot.

Bill’s last ferry ride By Abbey Cannan

The community pays tribute to Noosa North Shore ferry driver Bill Broadhurst after passing away at the age of 60 on May 1 2021.

Family and friends have paid tribute to muchloved Noosa North Shore Ferry driver William John Broadhurst after he took his final ferry ride last Friday. William, also known by loved ones as Bill, spent 31 years as a local ferry driver and left a heart shaped mark on the community. His family announced his passing at the age of 60 on May 1 2021, shortly after his retirement. Bills eldest son William Broadhurst said his smile and sense of humour made him very popular amongst the community. “Being a ferry driver allowed Bill to see and have a chat with mates everyday and also meet new ones, and doing this on the beautiful Noosa river,“ he said. “A lot of children on their way to school in the morning would have their frowns turned upside down after a chat with Bill.“ William said his father was a very generous man. “He was generous with his time, resources and energy,“ he said. “If he had the ability to help someone, either a friend or a stranger, he would.“ His favourite memories with Bill included boating in the Noosa river. “Taking care of the farm animals, going on a mission to help someone in need, sitting by the lake in the afternoon with a fire, cold beer and a beautiful sunset.“ William said he would like to thank everyone that joined the family in celebrating his Dad’s life.

Noosa North Shore ferry driver William John Broadhurst’s life was celebrated with one last ride across the ferry. “It made a very difficult day a lot easier for our family seeing so many people by the lake celebrating our father’s life, we couldn’t be any prouder of him and the person he was.“ Bill leaves behind his beautiful wife Annette, his sons’ William Ernest and Garry John, his daughter-in-laws’ Sherridan and Cassandra and his four delightful granddaughters’ Willow, Summer, Matilda and Delilah. “I would like dad to be remembered as a jovial, larger than life and generous human who could make you chuckle without saying a word,“ William said.

It is the time to nominate Rex Halverson contributed greatly to the growth and success of Koala Crusaders and in recognition for his ongoing work in the community the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation chair has been nominated for a 2021 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award. Rex was nominated for recognition by his wife Meaghan who said he attended meetings for years, bringing balance and communication skills to the table and assisting in the growth of the Koala Crusaders from smaller to larger organisation. “His writing skills brought forward a rewrite of our constitution as well as a contribution to the success of many presentations in the community through the use of his skills in refining and enhancing our message as a “voice for the koala“,“ she said. “Rex is often the man to put his hand up to set up, tear down and run stalls at events. He lives by example to work collaboratively and to lead a team and volunteers his time graciously. “His contributions to QKC at a time of change within the organisation are invaluable and as President, he worked towards a healthy transition to new leadership.“ Noosa is filled with inspirational people who give of their time to help others and we’re calling on you to nominate these people for a 2021 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award.

Charity’s family support It was a Friday afternoon nobody expected, but the Goodrich family will never forget it. On February 5, the Goodrich’s two-yearold daughter Charli, suffered a collapsed lung which prompted an emergency helicopter flight from Kingaroy Hospital to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH). Charli’s mum Letisha Goodrich said in the week leading up to the hospital trip, there were no major warning signs and Charli was given the ‘all clear’ after multiple visits to the doctor. “Charli’s health continued to deteriorate on the first night at SCUH and we learned she also had respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and pneumonia,” Mrs Goodrich said. Charli was put onto life-support as her little body started “shutting down” and was then flown to the Queensland Children’s Hospital (QCH) in Brisbane for critical care. “Doctors later told us while Charli was on life support and in surgery at the Children’s Hospital that she was battling sepsis which is an extreme immune response to an infection and can be fatal. “It’s a frightening sight to see your daughter with all these tubes attached to her and knowing there is very little my husband and I could do.” Charli spent a week in critical care hooked up to life-saving machines to keep her heart beating, and a further two weeks on a machine to support her lungs. On March 9, the toddler was transferred back to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital for care which was when Letisha and her husband Jake were able to stay at Wishlist House in Birtinya. “We live three hours away in Kingaroy which made it impossible for us to travel back and sleep in our own bed.” Having first-hand experience of the stress that comes with having a critically ill child in hospital hundreds of kilometres from home, Mrs Goodrich has thrown her full support behind Wishlist’s latest project - Wishlist Centre. Construction on the four-level facility to be built opposite SCUH will start in the coming months and will provide 18 self-contained rooms to support patients and families who need to be close to SCUH for ongoing treatment.

Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe said a $12 million Federal Government grant would fund Stage One of Wishlist Centre, however more funding was needed for the fit-out before opening in late 2022. “Additional funding is needed to ensure Wishlist Centre is a comfortable and supportive environment for patients and their families during an ongoing health crisis,” Ms Rowe said. “Our current accommodation facilities -

Charli and her Dad - Daniel Goodrich. Reed House and Wishlist House - are increasingly busy, especially with patients and family members from Kingaroy, Gympie, Cooloola, Maryborough and surrounds.” Thankfully Charli is now back at home in Kingaroy learning to walk, talk and eat again. She is expected to make a full recovery in the next 12 months. “Wishlist House was a godsend for our family and provided comfort and stability during our darkest days,” Mrs Goodrich said.

“I see so many posts on Facebook and hear that families are struggling going back and forth to see loved ones who need treatment on the Sunny Coast. “Not many know about the wonderful work Wishlist does and what they offer families needing somewhere closer to stay and have peace of mind knowing they are closer to loved ones.” To find out more about Wishlist accommodation or Wishlist Centre visit wishlist.org.au or phone 5441 1049.

Clinical trial of treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia USC Clinical Trials will soon start a clinical trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of investigational medications to treat acute myeloid leukaemia in patients who have relapsed or are not responsive to standard treatment options. Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a lifethreatening blood cancer that affects a person’s blood and bone marrow, preventing the production of normal red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.It is a terminal condition if left untreated. USC Clinical Trials will work closely with

Dr Sorab Shavaksha of the Sunshine Coast Haematology and Oncology Clinic to deliver this clinical trial. Dr Shavaksha said options for patients whose disease had returned or was unresponsive to standard first-line treatment was very limited, so this research into a potential treatment option would be welcome news to those patients. “AML often relapses after an initial response to first-line therapy due to leukaemic cells remaining dormant and undetected in a protective ‘niche’ in the bone marrow,” he said.

“Here they are effectively invisible and thus resistant to standard treatment.” “This study combines the actions of two separate tablet medications - one targeting a specific cancer mutation and the other designed to flush out the leukaemic cells from protective niches so that they are then more susceptible to treatment.” Participation in the study will include a screening visit, followed by 28-day treatment cycles. The number of cycles, and therefore study duration, will depend on how individual pa-

tients respond to the treatment. People aged 18 years or older who have medically diagnosed FLT3+ AML that has relapsed or is unresponsive to at least one prior treatment option are invited to register their interest in this study. Further criteria apply and will be discussed at an initial screening. Those who meet the eligibility criteria and are enrolled in the study will be reimbursed for expenses related to their participation. For more information or to register for the clinical trial, go to usc.edu.au/trials or call (07) 5456 3797.

Mayor supports our CWA Members of the Tewantin-Noosa Branch of the Country Women’s Association were joined by a group of interested potential members and Mayor Clare Stewart at the first ‘Meet the CWA’ event held last week. Following the successful Street Stall and requests from working women for evening events, the occasion was well-attended and generated six new members. Branch Vice-President Leigh McCready said, “Several of our members spoke about the role the CWA had played in their lives, from con-

necting them with friends upon moving to a new town, learning additional skills or helping raise funds for causes they felt strongly about.“ “Our Branch was established in 1927, and during that time has supported the Noosa community through helping families with funds to purchase school shoes and books, caring for families affected by natural disasters, homeless and domestic and family violence while also providing ongoing assistance for elderly citizens in aged care. “A lot of the work we do is low-profile, but

we are keen for more like-minded women to join us to contribute to our fundraising and advocacy for Noosa women and family issues. Unfortunately, there is a lot of hardship in our shire right now but with more willing members we can really make a difference.” Mayor Clare Stewart, who attended the event, said, “CWA is a wonderful organisation that supports the community at a grassroots level, whether it’s buying school packs for kids, protecting the environment or helping the homeless, in times of trouble this group shows

up and we are very grateful for the ongoing contribution and commitment they make to our community.” “We also have weekly hobbies sessions on Thursday mornings from 9am at the CWA Hall, where women of any experience level can bring a project along and receive tips or assist other women become more skilled,“ Ms McCready said.

Tourism Noosa showcases Peregian in new campaign Peregian mums were treated to a dose of community service with their burnt toast and flowers at the Peregian Family & Friends monthly meeting. The meeting featured Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson and website developer Leanne Shedlock. Vice-President Leigh McCready said they were excited to hear that Peregian featured in Tourism Noosa’s new marketing campaign, which showcases the villages of Noosa Shire and is a follow on from the highly successful ‘Enter the Biosphere’ campaign. “Our website developer and marketing expert Leanne Shedlock from Core Marketing and Communications also updated members about our new Peregian Family & Friends website, which will be launched later this month. We are grateful to Sunshine Coast Regional Council and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton’s generous support of the website upgrade,“ she said. “It’s fantastic to see the collaboration across the Shire and electorate boundaries

to assist the Peregian resident’s association in our work to provide community support and advocacy for residents across Peregian Beach, Springs and Breeze.“ Next month’s meeting will be on Sunday 13 June with guest speaker Ross Fisher, Noosa Heads SLSC president. All residents are welcome to attend. Peregian is set to flourish in the new campaign after the great results shown from Enter the Biosphere. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said the past campaign was founded on a strong strategy using consumer sentiment research. “The campaign results sit high above industry standards and more importantly, our members who have participated in the campaign are delighted with the positive results for their own businesses,” she said.

Teenager wins Katie car By Jim Fagan

Pomona Police Officer Daniel McNamara talking to local students.

Learning law There’s more to being a police officer than chasing and catching “bad guys”. That’s what Pomona Police Officer Daniel McNamara told local students during a speech that enhanced the students’ understanding of the law in Australia. The Year 12 Noosa District State High School Social and Community Studies students were surprised to hear Mr McNamara’s day-to-day life as a police officer is far removed from the action-packed, high risk representations of the police often seen on crime television. Sgt McNamara told the students that he was initially drawn to the excitement and drama of working for the police, but he has since realised there is so much more to the job than just police chases and catching “bad guys“. “It is a noble profession and it is good knowing that you are out there in the community, making a positive difference,“ Sgt McNamara said.

The students were surprised to find that the majority of the police call outs in the local community are related to domestic violence, usually fuelled by alcohol. “Generally speaking, Pomona is considered a relatively safe place to live. Compared to other parts of Australia, crime is very low, but domestic violence is very high,“ Mr McNamara said. The class enjoyed inspecting Sgt McNamara’s baton and utility belt (minus the taser and gun) while breathalysing their friends. Sgt McNamara taught the students about how breath tests are conducted and the rules around road safety for their upcoming provisional drivers license exams. The students found Mr McNamara’s presentation insightful and very useful for their upcoming Social and Community Studies assessment and for their own personal understanding of their rights and responsibilities as Australian citizens.

Nineteen-year-old Nicola Weyer is the owner of a brand-new Volkswagen Polo worth $22,568 - thanks to her mum, Janina, who bought the winning ticket in the Katie Rose Hospice car lottery. Nicola is a university student in Brisbane and got the surprise of her life when she walked into her parents’ house in Noosa Heads just in time to hear Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart, who drew the raffle prizes, phone her mother with the good news. “I was gobsmacked when mum said, ‘Darling, I’ve won you a car’ as I had just come home from Uni.” Nicola did not have a car&mdash;at least until now. “It will be a lot easier getting home from Brisbane,” she said. Second prize winner of $3000 wishes to remain anonymous and third prize of $1000 was won by Belinda Anstock of Doonan. This was the charity’s first car raffle and, according to chairperson Carol Raye, it had huge support from well-wishers on the Sunshine Coast, especially its lottery partner, Cricks VW at Maroochydore, “We raised $30,000 and it will go towards paying our registered nurses. Our core business is taking care of people who are dying and we need to fund our fantastic nurses who work 24/7. “The State Government contributes 32per cent of the money needed for their salaries and we are always going to need the community to help fill the gap. “Also, it is unusual not to have a waiting list of the terminally ill and we need to increase our number of rooms--go to four rooms, then five. We need new beds, even new fridges.” Mayor Clare Stewart said, “It is a “massive privilege to be invited to draw the ticket for one lucky member in the community to

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Katie Rose Hospice chairperson Carol Raye. win such a fantastic car as well as the money going to such a worthy cause. It’s a win, win.” She said what Katie Rose did was incredibly important. “No one else is doing this kind of work. It’s second to none. This place is simply remarkable.” She said there was great warmth and regard for Katie Rose and there had been wonderful donations by local businessmen like Ralph Rogers who provided the majority of the furnishings for the hospice. “The fact is that Katie Rose is a great example of community support in every sense of the word. It has more than 250 volunteers rallying together for a cause and I am so incredibly proud to be a leader in this community that helps to provide this special service. “Everyone here does such valuable work and we are all so grateful.”

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

DIE HARD 4.0 SEVEN, 9.50pm

SATURDAY

THOR SEVEN, 7.30pm

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth (pictured, right) is charismatic as the Marvel superhero. It follows the warrior to Earth after his banishment from Asgard, a supernatural kingdom where his brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston, pictured left), has usurped the throne. Some clunky dialogue, but for sheer spectacle it delivers plenty. The blockbuster doesn’t get any bigger than this. Huge sets, bulging muscles, thundering voices and an epic backstory.

SUNDAY

THE LEADERSHIP ABC TV PLUS, 8.30pm

Following Aussie CEO Fabian Dattner’s (pictured) mission to empower female scientists, and hopefully tackle climate change in the process, this is an illuminating and inspiring expedition. And this journey isn’t only figurative; it also takes place on an attractive ship navigating the wild terrain of Antarctica. Dattner is a fierce leadership coach who is passionate about empowering female scientists to create great change. She rounds up 70 of the best from around the world for a breathtaking and personally challenging trip to witness climate change firsthand. The strong personalities and ideas, along with the awesome terrain, make it a must-see in this post #MeToo world.

SATURDAY

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS NINE, 10.20pm

Legendary Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino clearly savours the sweet taste of revenge, serving up yet another gloriously violent tale of retribution. Brad Pitt stars as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, the bloodthirsty boss of a crack squad of Jewish-American Nazi hunters, assigned to spread fear throughout the Third Reich at the height of World War II by brutally killing anyone sporting a swastika. During their rampage across Europe the titular “basterds” cross paths with Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent, above), a French-Jewish woman who runs a Parisian cinema which is targeted by the soldiers and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger). If you’re a Tarantino fan, you won’t be disappointed.

Bruce Willis (below) is back as seemingly indestructible John McClane in the exhilarating fourth instalment of the series. Our hero is out to save his beloved USA from a cyber-terrorist (Timothy Olyphant). It’s widely acknowledged that the original Die Hard was one of the greatest action movies of the ’80s, and Underworld director Len Wiseman serves up a stuntsmothered action whopper to rival the original and leave fans of the franchise hungry for more. Justin Long (Going The Distance) is solid as McClane’s nerdy hacker sidekick, while Hong Kong hottie Maggie Q high-kicks her way through the non-stop thrills and spills as the villain’s top henchwoman. Keep an eye out for indie director Kevin Smith as a super-geek who helps out McClane when he’s in a pinch. Yippee-ki-yay indeed.

Marijuana is not a dangerous drug

LENSCAPE

It is quite bizarre that marijuana is still being considered a dangerous drug. In the last issue of Noosa Today on page 12, there was a write up on growers being arrested in multiple stings across the coast. Cannabis is deemed a “dangerous drug” through-out the article. While I do not agree with criminal behaviour, I do agree with the peoples right to use marijuana to simply relax. It is strange that I can legally go down to the shops, purchase a bottle of vodka and a pack of cigarettes, and have society consider that totally fine? Tobacco related deaths number around 19,000 per year in Australia alone. And in 2020 over 6000 Aussies died from alcohol related deaths. Guess how many have died from cannabis? In history... Zero! It is literally impossible to overdose on cannabis, so why is it dangerous? Yes, marijuana can bring out psychosis in people who suffer from mental illness, but so can many things. Over seas where they are legalising the use of marijuana, we can see by example that is is totally doable, safe and people who smoke it are normal functioning members of society. On the other hand, look at all the assaults and domestic violence caused by alcohol in our country! If we legalise and regulate marijuana in Australia, we will not only be able to choose the strength of the flower we want to purchase, but will also be taking the money directly out of criminal pockets. One day we will catch up with other parts of the world, and realise that a “plant”, a part of “nature”, is not as bad as we have all been led to believe. Alex (surname supplied), Coolum Beach

STA Confusion In the article ‘STA Deadline Extended’ (NT 7/5), when it comes to short term accommodation, its seems that some lobby groups and even a councillor are confused about the differing roles of the Noosa Plan and the proposed Local Law currently under consideration. The Noosa Plan prescribes how properties are allowed to be used. After much discussion, consultation, consternation and debate, Noosa Council (in spite of my then objections) decided to define ongoing short term letting of entire houses as ‘inconsistent’ and ‘impact assessable’ in most low density residential zones. That means that although house owners can theoretically make the required development applications and pay the hefty fees, their requests are unlikely to be approved.For units in medium and high density zones, ongoing short term letting has been defined in the Noosa Plan as ‘consistent’ and ‘impact assessable’, which also means the requisite applications, fees and public notifications are a must. No shortcuts and no easy task. So the worst-case-scenario concerns reported in the article - that neighbourhoods will be overrun with short term letting of houses and units - has already been firmly averted by Council through the new Noosa Plan which has only just been finalised and is not currently under review. The purpose of the Local Law is simply to put in place protocols and rules to manage the potential noise, rubbish, parking and other issues that may arise in a minority of cases. Sensible. Ingrid Jackson, Noosaville Former Noosa councillor

STA Submissions Although until now residents’ submissions have not been able to be received, there have been robust discussions of this issue on social media, with a lot of testimonials from people living in close proximity to ‘party houses’.In determining a council policy on Short Term Accommodation the following points need to be considered: 1. Should whole houses be allowed to be STA’S? Residents living next to houses that are rented out to visitors have found that: Often excessive numbers use the house, for accomodation and partying. Unacceptable noise levels, until late hours, is a frequent occurrence. Policing is often inadequate. Large numbers of vehicles are frequently parked in the street. Community depends on neighbours supporting each other. Party houses undermine this by removing proximity of neighbours. If owners are not on site, they cannot monitor ST tenant behaviour. 2. As Byron Bay AND Noosa have found: STA’s make local rental accomodation too expensive for low paid workers. Businesses suffer staff shortages because people cannot afford to live locally. Housing costs become out of each for first home buyers. The character of the community becomes more transient, with these houses empty in the low season, and occupied by high turnover in the high season. 3. When a room in a residential house is rented out, the Party House problems do not arise, as the owner is present to monitor behaviour.Conclusion: It is preferable to not have whole houses rented out as STA. STAs should be limited to: units where there is an onsite manager; individual rooms in houses where the occupants are present for the duration of the stay; granny flats where the owners are present on site during the stay. There should be a strict limit placed on the number of people permitted to stay in any one STA,

according to the number of bedrooms in the dwelling. Permits for STAs have already been granted to many houses in residential areas. Neighbours need to be able to register noise complaints that have involved police call-outs with council, and fines be issued to owners if it is found that the dwelling has breached acceptable standards. Should any one residence have three such complaints registered, then the council should have the right to withdraw the owners STA permit. Joy Ringrose, Pomona

Budget cuts where?

Cycling & walking strategy greens suggestions

How many old Budget policies are still lying on the operating table waiting to be resuscitated in 2021/22? Will it be deaths by 1000 cuts? Will Quiet Australians survive this elective surgery? Who will hold the knife? Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Dealing with traffic congestion outside schools must be a priority. Parents are naturally anxious that travel to and from school is safe for their children. One easy solution would be to set up walking buses, also known as crocodiles. These involve supervised groups of students walking to and from school along a specified route, with each student joining or leaving as required. Perhaps Council could liaise with schools to see if this is feasible. Schools themselves would probably welcome the opportunity for students to exercise more, which has been shown to promote brain development and improve concentration, along with many other health benefits. We have also suggested more emphasis on safe, separated bike paths, totally removed from motor traffic. On-road bicycle lanes are essential for those who are willing to share the road with traffic, but most of us aren’t willing to do this; it’s the greatest barrier to a general uptake of cycling as a transport choice.

Separated bike paths between coastal and hinterland towns across the shire would be a boon for tourism as well as enabling locals to cycle more. Much of the countryside heading as far west as Cooran is flat and ideal for cycle tourism, especially given its scenic attractions. While such paths are part of the Strategy, they are expensive and haven’t been given a high priority. Costs could be considerably lessened if paths were of compacted gravel rather than sealed. We agree that e-bikes could do much to encourage cycling. Noosa’s median age is 47 years, and the demographic trend is towards an older population. Having power-assisted bicycles makes it much more feasible for older citizens to take to two wheels. To facilitate this, we suggest a number of strategically-placed charging stations. Rhonda Prescott, Wide Bay branch of Queensland Greens

Noosa today support So the Sunshine Coast Daily is going back into printing a weekly paper. No mention yet of it being a purchase, freebie or where, when and how readers will acquire it. It wouldn’t be the loss of revenue from advertisers or the necessary cost to readers of being a digital reader paid in advance to access your local news that has brought about this change of heart surely. Me thinks with the now weekly Noosa Today achieving widespread support from around the Shire, which can be supported by how quickly the paper is snapped up from local news stands within a day or two must have some bearing on the change of heart. Noosa Today has been a support for those unable to go out and for those who do not always have access to find cash up front for a daily paper. There are countless young and old readers who are living day to day. Especially due to the pandemic. They were ignored. Thanks to Noosa Today that gap was filled. Ernest Wright, Doonan

The Hotseat Phil Jarratt

Not retiring, reinventing When word spread around Noosa Council’s Chambers last week that CEO Brett de Chastel was about to announce his retirement, the Pelican Street players were disappointed but not necessarily surprised. The fastidious, fair-minded chief executive has always played to a plan, and succession was clearly one of them. This is why in May 2021 he was announcing his retirement effective February 2022, just a few weeks shy of his 60th birthday, leaving Council nine months to find his replacement and have Brett ease him or her into one of the most demanding jobs in local government. PHIL JARRATT sat Brett in the Hotseat, perhaps for the last time. What’s the real reason? (Laughs) There’s no hidden agenda. I just feel like I’ve done what I set out to do. I was heavily involved in the de-amalgamation campaign behind the scenes and I wanted to be part of setting up the new council (in 2014) and I feel like we’re running pretty well now. I’d started to think, okay, what’s next? I’ve always had the best interests of the organisation at heart, and I genuinely believe that they need renewal. I hope whoever comes along next does a better job than me, because it will be good for council and the community. There are other factors. I have a friend of similar age who has just been through a major health issue, and you feel, well, that could be me, so you have to make the most of life while you can. In a previous interview with me you intimated that you loved the Noosa lifestyle, particularly the leisure aspects of it, so I could understand if you were retiring to ride your mountain bike and go to the beach, but you’re not really retiring, are you? Well, in a sense that’s true, but over the past eight years I’ve struggled at times to balance work and leisure and worked some really long, hard hours, particularly in the last 18 months, with bushfires, Covid, elections, a planning scheme to deliver and a new council to get used to. But the councilors have all been really good, and I’m more than happy with where the council is at the moment. The 2020 election was a pretty tough one – I think everyone is aware of that – but the new council has got a good vibe going. They get along very well with each other, which is the secret of a successful council. If you can have different ideas and opinions, but get on well on a personal basis, you will achieve a lot more, and that’s what this group is doing. We all laugh and have fun with each other, so we’re in a good space. If that wasn’t the case, I might not be making this announcement, but I feel like I’m leaving at the right time. It’s interesting, isn’t it, when you see people who were polar opposites a year ago, now able to work together for the common good? Well, they don’t always agree, but it’s about the issue, not the person. I guess the big fear during the election and immediately after was that we’d have a prodevelopment block that had the numbers to put anything through. Yes, but what’s happened is that they vote on each issue as they see it. There’s no set pattern to the voting which means that each councillor is carefully looking at the issue and making an informed decision. There’s plenty of debate but no acrimony. They’ll go and have a wine together afterwards. I’ve tried to help that process along by instituting team bonding sessions early in the piece, and doing personality profiling to help them understand what makes each person tick. What’s developed is a sense of purpose and a mutual respect. You said in our last interview that the art of your job was to keep everyone happy … Yes, all the time about every issue! (Laughs) And that’s impossible, of course. But the role of Council CEO is an interesting one because in one sense I’m reporting to the mayor and six councilors, but I also have about 450 staff who have expectations of me, I’ve got the media and the special interest groups to keep happy, not to mention our 55,000 customers. So it’s a balancing act while trying to make

decisions that are in the best interests of the community. The good thing is that everyone in Noosa has the best interests of the community at heart, the arguments are always about how to achieve them. While I don’t want to burst the bubble about how smoothly everything is going, there are a few murmurs, inside council and outside, about the threat of growing population pressure. One of the things that Noosa has to deal with is how to manage our success, how to deal with the numbers of people who want to come here at holiday periods when our roads and transport systems are set up to deal with our base population. Being loved to death is one of the greatest challenges we have to face. I think some of the murmurs are more about the South East Queensland Regional Plan and the implications for our population cap. The SEQ Regional Plan will come up for review within the next two years. The last time it

Retiring CEO Brett de Chastel. was reviewed it very much respected our planning scheme and didn’t require us to open up any more greenfield sites. What I’m hearing from the State is that they’re looking at major housing construction on greenfield sites at places like west of Caboolture and south of Logan. There’s no doubt that they will want to create a lot more accommodation in SEQ, but they’ll want to do it in the areas where they can focus on infrastructure efficiently. I haven’t heard of any new population pressure on places at the edge of the region, like Gatton or Noosa. In two years you won’t be sitting in that chair. Will the new CEO be fighting the State over this issue? I don’t know. I hope not, but I do believe that what it will do is put more pressure on Noosa through an increased population around us creating more daytrippers, which gets us back to the first part of the problem. When the new CEO is appointed what advice

Picture: PJ will you give her? (Laughs) There’ll be a three-month hand-over and I’ll have plenty of advice for the new person, but I’m sure they’ll also bring their own ideas to the role. Some of my advice will be about managing yourself, looking after the staff who are our biggest asset, building relationships with the councillors, and learning to manage our success. It’s a nice problem to have, but we have to ensure that we don’t lose the magic we’ve got. Can you tell us anything about your plans for 2022 and beyond? I’ve got a real passion for supporting indigenous communities, so one of the things I intend to do is volunteer work with some of the Cape York communities, helping them with issues of governance or finance, mentoring their senior staff. I’ve done this kind of thing up there before and I know I’ll enjoy that. And I’ll look around town here to see if any organisations need assistance. I want to stay connected, remain part of the tribes. Friday, 14 May, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 29

Noosa Pipe Band set for a big year The Noosa and District Pipe Band are very excited to be out of restrictions and able to go out and entertain in the community. With new young Pipe Major Rod Echague and World Class Tutor Robert Gibb, the Band has been learning lots of exciting new tunes. During Covid lockdown, the Band members kept practicing at home and were using video links to keep playing together as they learnt the new tunes. The Band is in the process of organising a new programme to encourage more people to learn the pipes and drums and are always ready to welcome new members. They love going out and performing and letting people hear the tunes that they have spent so much time practicing. They had a fantastic St Patrick’s Day and recently played for the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships at Maroochydore followed by an Anzac Service at the Eumundi Markets, and then on to a big Anzac Day leading the Eumundi, Tewantin and Cooroy Street Parades. The Band are looking forward to many more functions such as birthdays and weddings throughout the year. Boondooma “Scots in the Bush“ weekend is set for August and they are hoping all the local community events they usually play will go ahead this year. Noosa And District Pipe Band would also like to say a big thank you to Noosa Council for approving their recent grant application.

WHAT’S ON

A triple treat for 2021 Noosa Arts Theatre has come back with a vengeance this year after such a strange 2020 Covid year. They had the audiences laughing in the aisles with ’A Turkey’s Tail’ and dancing in the aisles for a successful run of Mamma Mia.It’s time now to stage their popular One-Act Play competition for the 44th year with three great plays all on the one programme. First up is ’The Truth About Camping’ written by New South Welshman, Gavin Critchley. So, who hasn’t been camping? Putting up the tent (why does there always seem to be a few poles left over?), burning your meal on the campfire, mozzies, sleeping bags that are either too hot or too cold, and that’s if you even find a level spot! This will remind you of all the joys of roughing it in the great outdoors. When Dorothea Mackellar wrote, “I Love A Sunburnt Country“ she wasn’t pulling any punches. Most of us may know someone affected by the savage bushfires of 2020, or have had first-hand experience of their fury and unpredictability. Noosa certainly got a huge scare as well. The second play on the programme ’Embers’, written by Victorian, Natalie Burns, is an emotional roller-coaster that will leave you gasping as you come to terms with the all-consuming reality of bushfires and the unquenchable human spirit. And for the final play, what’s not to love about Christmas? All that preparation, decorating the tree, the house, the front yard, buying that unique gift and getting stuck talking to a slightly “merry“ relative you only see once or twice a year. What about that turkey? Is it ready? But what happens when there is a an even bigger issue at hand? New Zealander, Richard Harris, has penned a yuletide romp with his one-act play, ’Carol’s Christmas’ that will leave you wanting seconds. Since 1978 Noosa Arts Theatre has been running the National One-Act Playwriting Competition.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Izzy in the magic garden Trevor Pepys reviews Izzy Chai Modern Asian Cuisine In Trevor’s vast experience, the location of a restaurant and the style of the building itself is very often at counterpoint with the quality of the dining experience. For example, has anyone ever had a halfdecent meal while revolving around on top of a skyscraper? A show of hands please, but I’ll presume we are agreed and proceed with the dissertation. The same often applies to the best view in town. All over the coasts of Europe Trev has enjoyed the best meals not accompanied by a view of the Adriatic or the Bay of Biscay but three streets back from the front, through a doorway half-blocked by garbage bins and up a flight of rickety stairs in a room that looks like some granny’s kitchen. And let’s not forget that the very best Vietnamese restaurant in California is not in Venice Beach or Sausalito but in the car park of a big box shopping centre just off the 405. So what’s this got to do with eating out in Noosa? Well, not to begrudge the Sails view of Main Beach or the river sunsets seen from the Boathouse, sometimes you’ll find the diamonds in the rough in less attractive settings. This was certainly the case with Izzy Chai, which survived for quite a while in a graveyard location for all the restaurants that preceded it. Of course all that will be rewritten now that Sum Yung Guys is moving onto the Weyba corner – if anyone can make it work, those lads can – but in the meantime, Izzy Chai has moved its offering of good, honest Thai tucker down the street and into the South Pacific Resort. And this is another interesting space for a restaurant. Older readers will recall the magic that Luc Turschwell brought to his Hula Moon Restaurant in the early days of the resort around the turn of the century. Luc’s combination of classic French, North African spice and tastes of the Pacific were the perfect complement for Jim Tatton’s classic but fun Hawaiian design. Somehow, Trio’s, which followed later, never seemed quite at home in the gardenside location, but Izzy Chai fits it like a glove. The other night the missus and Trev ducked in to Izzy at South Pacific for the first time since the move and found it half-full already early on a midweek evening – good sign. We sat looking out over the lovely garden and limbered up on a bottle of T’Gallant Pinot Grigio 2020 from Cape Shank ($29) while we surveyed the menu. Nothing much new or exciting there, but plenty of dependables. We went for a plate of mixed entrees (spring rolls, curry puffs, fish cakes and coconut prawns, $16) which was predictable but worked well with the wine. For mains the missus chose the prawn laksa ($21.90) while Trev went for the roast red duck curry ($27.50), but

Missy and Gussy in the park.

Wise old pooches By Margaret Maccoll Anywhere Theatre took anthropomorphising to art over the weekend with their Pooch Park. People playing dogs playing people was an entertaining way to laugh at the way dogs and people act and interact. Presented by Snap Crackle Theatre & Co the play revolved around the discussions of several dog characters including Missy the whippet frightened of everything but sweet natured and wise. “I’ve never known no fear,” poor Missy tells us. Her absolute opposite was the very confident labradoodle, Honey McKenzie with her botoxed face, pouty lips and 50,000 Instagram followers. Honey’s perfect life fell apart, however, when her phone went missing thanks to the antics of loveable Buddhist retriever Gussy. There were plenty of take home messages from the human dogs and a few real dogs had a few woofs of their own to contribute. Pooch Park will be on again this Saturday 15 May in Chaplin Park, Noosaville at 2pm and for other Anywhere Theatre events go to www. visitnoosa.com.au

Nursery industry booming Queensland’s premier gardening event - the Queensland Garden Expo— is on track to welcome thousands of visitors from far and wide to a three day celebration of all things gardening in July this year. The nursery industry enjoyed one of its best years on record during 2020 with the recent Nursery Industry Statistics 2019-20 survey of Australian production nurseries revealing a record 2.2 billion plants were produced and sold in Australia last year. Queensland Garden Expo Event Manager Marion Beazley said while it was disappointing that the 2020 Expo had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, the resulting increase in people gardening provided an exciting opportunity for this year’s event to attract new visitors. “The Nursery Industry Survey captured the growth in people wanting to invest time in creating their own backyard oasis, particularly as more people are working from home and many are restricted in their ability to travel for holidays,” Ms Beazley said. “With so many people housebound, there was a huge curiosity in growing food like herbs and vegetables and before long people were ready to get their hands dirty for a complete home garden makeover. “We’re confident the Queensland Garden Expo will provide ample opportunity to nurture this newfound love for gardening with 350 exhibitors— including 55 nurseries— and around 45 guest speakers presenting an action-packed program. “This year we have included a number of ‘Back to Basics’ talks each day to encourage visitors who are new to gardening, in addition to the wide range of gardening topics that have become firm favourites with our more experienced gardeners. “Attendees can learn, explore and get inspired; and can then find everything they need at the Expo, including a choice of more than 60,000 plants ready for sale each day

came very hard to source. “Another growth area was indoor foliage lines, which the Nursery Industry Survey reported grew by 9 per cent last year. With people spending more time inside their homes, indoor plants have become exceptionally popular.” The 36th annual Queensland Garden Expo will take place from 9-11 July at the Nambour Showgrounds and nurseries are now preparing stock to ensure there are plenty of plant favourites, new lines to launch and unique and rare plants to offer attendees.

Dancing with the experts By Phil Jarratt Rhys George leans in confidentially over his wine glass and says: “Let me put it this way: It’s the most intimate thing you can do while vertical.” It’s an oldie but a goodie - the line about dancing being the most fun you can have standing up - a bit like Rhys himself, but it is the perfect description of the passion he and wife Sandy share for rock and roll and swing dancing. Barely able to perform the surfer’s stomp myself, I have been watching awestruck for months at live music gigs around the Coast as Rhys and Sandy, dressed in their ‘50s finest, swirl confidently around the dance floors, busting moves I could only dream of. “Dance is essentially emotion in movement,” says Sandy. “Once you’ve learnt the steps you can let go and you move to another dimension.” The couple met in Adelaide, having left first marriages behind. She was a nurse from Margaret River, WA, he a South Australian accountant and stockbroker. Their first date was a wine harvest festival in the Adelaide Hills, several hundred people partying, a great rock and roll band playing, and only three couples dancing. “But,” says Rhys, “they were really, really good. I looked at Sandy, and we knew that this was what we wanted to do.” Neither had much in the way of musical backgrounds – Sandy’s dad was a bit of an old rocker and filled their house at Margie’s with rock and roll music from his vinyl collection, and Rhys had studied a classical piano as a kid and bought a mid-life crisis electric guitar at 40 – and neither had any experience on the dance floor. But they were captivated by the magic of rock and roll. Says Rhys: “We were lucky enough to find a couple of really good teachers who could get us into not just rock and roll but a range of associated dance styles, like swing and even a bit of Charleston, from the 1920s. In the early days we used to drive home from our lessons with the music going in the car, working out what we could dance to, what was too fast, too slow

Sandy and Rhys George at Harbour Wine Bar, Noosa Marina. or just right. If we liked a particular song, we’d pull over into a service station and start busting a few moves on the forecourt. Adds Sandy: “Learning more about the music and its roots has made us better dancers, I think. We’re still learning of course, and we go to lessons at a place called Swing-Out, and our teacher always gives us a little background to each song we dance to, and it really helps build a foundation, an understanding of where it came from and how to move to it.” The culture and history of the music they dance to has totally absorbed the swingin’ Georges. Rhys can quote pre-rock pioneer Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s influence on Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, or tell you how some of the

moves they employ came about when dancers had to adapt to cramped dance floors in the 1940s. They dress to the era and drive about in a restored ’59 Chevy (Rhys’s retirement project). Rhys says: “We find music everywhere we go. It’s opened up a whole new world for us and has taken us from a 13th century cellar jazz club in Paris to a rockabilly festival on a beach in Spain where you could dance from eight in the morning until four the next morning, every day! We’ve danced on the top of the Jungfrau (the tallest mountain in Switzerland), on the Paris Metro, the heli-pad on the top of Montparnasse, and in every city in Australia, and a whole lot of country areas.”

While their home on the Sunshine Coast was being built, they caravanned around Australia for seven months, seeking out every country town with a rock and roll dance club or festival. “And there are a lot,” says Rhys. Dancing has built them a network of friends around Australia, around the world. For this couple, dancing is not a hobby, it’s a life. But it all gets back to the movement, and it’s quite technical. Rhys says all good dancers have a “tool box” full of moves. Before they hit the dance floor, Rhys will check the beat on his phone, then work out the progression of appropriate moves. On the floor, the couple rarely call moves to each other, although they do have their own code for many of them. The communication is through touch. Says Sandy: “You learn to respond to signals from your partner. If Rhys is leading I’ll respond to a slight pressure on my hand or my back and that will lead us into the next move. It’s like riding a horse in a way. You can’t tell a horse what you’re going to do next, you let him know by applying pressure on the stirrups or the knees.” Adds Rhys: “So familiarity leads to better dancing. It’s very hard for people who don’t know each other to have that connection, and if you’re emotionally connected, well it takes it to a whole other level.” They’re making eyes at each other across the table, the band is starting to play, Rhys is feeling for his phone, tapping his foot to the growing beat. It’s time to leave them to their art. “One thing before you go,” says Rhys. “Everywhere around the world where there are rock and roll clubs, they celebrate Frankie Manning’s birthday on May 26. He was the leader of the swing movement that introduced tight moves on crowded floors, he invented the Lindy Hop. Frankie Manning Day is celebrated everywhere, except here.” So if you see a ’59 Chevy pull up at a servo near you in a couple of weeks, and a very hip middle-aged couple start busting moves between the bowsers, that’ll be Rhys and Sandy, remembering Frankie Manning’s legacy.

Magnificent music men By Ian Pugh It’s a treasure hidden within a treasure. And most people don’t even know about it. If you live on the Sunshine Coast, you’re probably familiar with the Majestic Theatre in Pomona - but if you haven’t visited there recently (like in the last two years), you are missing out on something very special - a musical treat that needs to be seen (or rather heard) to be believed. Most people know the Majestic because it’s been around for so long. In fact, this wonderfully quirky venue (“Queensland’s longest continuously operating picture theatre and the only theatre in the world that continuously screens silent films”) is celebrating its centenary this year. Built in 1921 as a social hall, the theatre has enjoyed (and endured!) a colourful, often tumultuous, 100 years, hosting everything from vaudeville productions to weddings to boxing matches - and of course, movies, especially silent movies. To think the Majestic was hosting silent movies way back in the 1920s (before “talkies” had even been invented!) and is still showing them today. For many years, the silent films at the Majestic were accompanied by an organ, played by Ron West, who owned the Majestic from 1974 until 2005. That was until the organ was damaged in the floods of 2011, meaning Ron had to switch to a piano. However, all this was to change in 2019 with the unveiling of another organ and it is this very rare and beautiful instrument that graces the theatre today. The organ is a 1937 Compton (only one of four of this model in the world) and how it made it to the Majestic, now restored to its former glory, is largely thanks to the tenacity and dedication of three men, Ron West, Don Clark and John Brooks. The organ originally came from Chester, England where it was the main attraction at the Regal Cinema in South Shields. Ron explains that it had “only six ranks of pipes back then” but this still gave it a sound big enough to fill the 2,800-seat Regal Cinema. It came to Australia when it was bought by the Linnet family of Brisbane but after the death of Blair Linnet it ended up sitting in their garage for many years. Ron was familiar with the Compton, as was Don Clark of the Brisbane Organ Society - a man with experience rebuilding these types of organs. “There’s not many of us left that know about these bloody things,” says Don with a wry smile. In 2012, the Linnet family bequeathed the organ to the Majestic but that was when the real work began. It was in dire need of restoration and the multitude of pipes and parts had to be dismantled. “These organs explode into hundreds of pieces when you take them apart,” Don explains. They also had to salvage and restore what they could from the Majestic’s flood-damaged organ. Don remembers removing the previous organ from the chamber and returning a few weeks later to find a “great big termite mound in the middle of the chamber”. Thankfully the termites hadn’t got into the actual structure of the theatre which is now protected by a termite prevention system installed and regularly monitored by Cooroy Termite & Pest Control. With the help of theatre patron, John Brooks, Don spent the next six years restoring the organ - a massive undertaking that involved re-leathering over 800 pneumatic parts, repairing and adding four more ranks of pipes (“giving it more voices and tone colours”), building an exact replica of the original case, and lovingly assembling the thousands of pieces that make up this very special, complex organ. Along with 750 organ pipes, drums, a violetta, a xylophone, a flute and an array of other instruments, the organ now fills what was previously the theatre’s “supper room”, separated from the auditorium by a beautiful Oregon pine organ grill that originally came from the Roxy Theatre in Parramatta. “I can’t thank Don and John enough for all the work they did on it,” says Ron. “I’ve been playing these things for over 70 years and this is the first one that I’ve played where everything works. That’s an absolute joy!” And so is the experience of listening to it. Considering the organ was designed to play in a 2,800 seat auditorium and is now playing in a 200-seater (with four extra ranks of pipes and many other improvements), the quality and richness of the sound can only be described as “cathedral-like”. Happy 100th birthday to the Majestic Theatre - silent movies have never sounded this good! 36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 14 May, 2021

A taste of Cooloola By Erle Levey All signs pointed to the Cooloola Farmers Trail this month as primary producers opened their gates for a weekend, and the people of South east Queensland liked what they saw .. and tasted. Six farms hosted the event, which was cancelled last year due to Covid-19. Yet those interested in food - where it comes from and how it is grown - were out in force. It showed the importance of the clean, green reputation the Cooloola region is gaining. The Cooloola Farmers Trail is now recognised as a Slow Food community for the ethical way in which produce is taken from farm gate to the plate. The fact that more than 700 people attended the trail on the Sunday showed it was really worthwhile event, despite the changeable weather. Each property also hosted a variety of stalls from other producers in the region. It started with the Kin Kin State School student garden and continued north to Noosa Black, the only coffee plantation in the Noosa Shire. At Wolvi, Cooloola Berries welcomed good numbers on both days. Further north along the road Purity Essential Oils hosted stalls including mushrooms from Tagigan Road Produce. It was a hive of activity at Lindols Macadamias at Goomboorian with macadamia harvesting demonstrations as well as different ways to sample the product. Rossmount Nursery at Ross Creek hosted Gympie Landcare as well as Cooloola Nature information marquees as well as exotic fruit stalls. It was a real taste of what the Cooloola Slow Food Community could do, and more producers in the area are now asking to come to the next one in August. The farm trail is a way of encouraging other small-scale producers to become involved. A stall can be the first step to profiling their produce and goods. This month’s farm trail showed that driving into the hinterland is such an eye-opener for the whole family to enjoy. Kin Kin, Wolvi and Goomborian has a history of agriculture from post-war settlements - dairy, beans and other small cropping. The whole region is buzzing with quality small scale producers that are working to keep quality and tasty seasonal produce alive. The Kin Kin School kitchen garden enjoyed their first Cooloola Farmers Trail event and declared it was a success. A wet one, but a success nevertheless, over 120 visitors come through the school garden, marvelling at fruit trees, veggie patch and garden art. The home-baked goodies were a hit, as well as the hot tea and coffee served up by the wonderful parent volunteers and student helpers. Natalia from Broadcroft Design generously donated a new garden art and cafe and Noosa Black Coffee sponsored the coffee plungers which was enjoyed by the many families and garden visitors. Noosa Black held farm tours on the Saturday as well as information sessions on how to produce coffee, right down to final tastings. Cooloola Berries was abuzz with several hundred visitors through the farm over the rainy weekend. There was more than 30 local stalls scattered across each of the farm trail sites. Food and drink experiences included cooking demonstrations by apprentice chef Emily who is also a Slow Food Youth Member. Guests enjoyed the flavours of crispy pork belly and green pawpaw salad. The barbecue was smoking with tasty Agnew Coondoo Claw redclaw farm. Tours of the farm included a look at the tractor implements used to create the strawberry rows. Strawberry ice-cream and cider was enjoyed all weekend long.

Purity Essential Oils was a popular stop, full of welcoming stalls and farm energy. It provided fun and learning with beautiful intention and gorgeous products with care for the earth and a respectful relationship with the plants. There was also fungi

from Tagigan Road Produce. Visitors to Lindols Macadamias said: “We had the best day doing this tour today, met some wonderful people, learnt heaps, brought home some beautiful produce to eat and trees to grow. Thank you to all the businesses for putting this on.’’ Farm tours, stalls and tastings with crack-your-own nut was popular.

Guests wished all the farms “loads of business success and a prosperous year ahead.” Green-fingered gardeners enjoyed RossMount Nursery and Rural Retreat which was filled with local environmental stalls and local artisans. Trail guests were thrilled to take in a lucky appearance by the resident platypus.

Fruit afternoon teas and delicious licks were enjoyed. Guests went home with cars loaded with tropical fruit trees and native plants. It was impressive stuff and made people realise we really do need to support our Aussie farmers more. They are depending on us to buy local and save our family owned small farms.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

Hayden from Brisbane boated this flathead in the lower estuary while on a Noosa River Fishing Safari.

Riley Woolmer won the $100.00 Tackle World Noosa/ChaseBaits Fish of the Week prize with his first ever trevally which he caught and released near the river mouth. Pictures: WWW.FISHINGNOOSA.COM.AU

Big swell, offshore winds The first week of May surely gave the coast a mixed bag of weather. We had big rains and swell hitting the coast and even hail! This kept many anglers grounded for the week with the weekend giving way to some standout conditions and a swell that was more manageable on the coastal bars. Offshore May and June is the peak period for BIG Spanish mackerel. These bigger lone fish love the biggest troll baits in the shallower waters around Halls and inside Sunshine Reef. Big garfish, bonito and whole mac tuna will work. For troll rigs you can make up some XL gangs using Mustad Tarpon hooks and a chin weight. Come in and check out the wide range of troll and rigging gear for chasing these fish. Talking of Sunshine Reef you will also see a surge in coral trout. These power house fish are masters of the reef and will bust you up if you give them an inch. They have to be one of the most exciting species to chase and they make for an excellent feed. To catch one you will need gear capable of stopping them. Short

powerful jig rods and spin reels are the most popular. Take a look at the range of unbreakable Oceans Legacy rods in the PE 3-4 range and run a matched braid and 50lb leader. Live baits are best so be sure to grab some rigs and stop off on the inshore reefs to get a few yakka. If you don’t want to drop baits then you can test your skill with slow jigs. The range from Samaki have already claimed a few fish so pick a few based on your location and depth with 80-100 grams the more popular. Out wide around North Reef you should be able to find cleaner water as inshore is quite green after the rains. You will pick up tuna, mackerel and good size cobia. On the bottom a good mixed bag of reef fish including snapper can be expected. Take a look at the pre-made Black magic paternoster rigs to keep rigging easy if unable to make your own. Surf fishing has seen some nice fish caught with some nice size jewies starting to show around the headlands and off the beaches. The next few months will see a start to the bigger fish moving in so come and get set up as

Although this is for wild fish the impoundment fish will still follow their natural urges and school up in preparation for breeding. When this happens you can expect to catch some very fat bass in big numbers off the bottom on small jigs and spinners. Make sure you have some Hot Bite spoons ready as these get the numbers on fish holding deep down.

these big fish are a lot of fun. There have been a few reports of tailor getting caught too which shows the waters are starting to cool down. In the river flatties, trevally, bream and whiting continue to feature throughout the lower estuary. Following all the rains it pays to stay around the Woods Bays, the Dog Beach, Munna Point and the Noosa Sound. These areas offer so much in terms of variety with protection from various wind angles and tidal flows. You can anchor up and burley, drift the edges or drop offs with soft plastics and find a quiet spot on the bank, cast a line and enjoy the surroundings. While the rivers are dirty you are best to use oily baits of mullet, pilchard and slimy mackerel. These create a scent trail if left long enough which fish will pick up on. If you aren’t moving around try using a pre-made burley like the Stimulate ground bait and mix it with a splash of tuna oil. This will really get the fish going and is a great way to ensure you have a good day on the water. Lastly the freshwater as seen a few solid fish

Rise to challenge The inaugural Noosa Rise and Grind event will take place this Saturday 15 May, with keen riders cycling 100 kilometres through the Noosa Hinterland. The mixed terrain ‘gravel fondo’ event will start and finish at the historic Appollonian Hotel at Boreen Point and has attracted riders from across South East Queensland. Starting at 8am riders will face a range of challenges on the ride with three refreshment stops on the journey that will be manned by volunteers from the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads. The event is not a race and riders will set off in waves and have time to enjoy the fabulous countryside with the route covering a range of terrains from gravel and sealed roads. The course is some 70 per cent gravel so gravel bikes are the most suitable way to ride and cruise with friends and enjoy the scenic views of the Noosa Hinterland. In case riders need support on the ride there will be a ‘sag wagon’ on hand to provide assistance should it be required. Organised by Noosa Stade Bianche committee, the event has attracted a high number of female cyclists who will take on the challenge of the Rise and Grind. At the end of the ride there will be activities at the Appollonian Hotel for the entrants to relax after the inaugural event.

Storm run Noosa District State High School students recently participated in the District Cross Country at the Big Pineapple, Nambour. The weather was atrocious, with a morning electric storm interrupting proceedings. The challenging course was made even more so, after the rain, with much of the course slippery and muddied. Sports Coordinator Ron Greentree was very proud of the NDSHS students’ commending them on their behaviour, camaraderie and sportsmanship while representing the school at the event. A select number of students will compete at the Regional Trials later this month at the Maroochydore Cricket Grounds.

The inaugural Noosa Rise and Grind event kicks off this Saturday 15 May.

Captains thrilled as origins returns Queensland captain Ali Brigginshaw is stoked the Sunshine Coast will again play host to the Women’s State of Origin clash. The game will take place on Friday 25 June, after last year’s fixture was disrupted by COVID-19 restrictions. The Maroons will have their chance to defend their breakthrough title win in front of a possible capacity home crowd at Sunshine Coast Stadium, after the NRL confirmed on Tuesday the women’s Ampol State of Origin would be played in the Sunshine State for another year. Brigginshaw played an instrumental part in last year’s 24-18 victory over NSW at Sunshine Coast Stadium, which was the first Women’s Origin clash played in Queensland. While last year’s clash was a sellout, crowd numbers were capped at 4800 due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Queensland skipper is hopeful this year’s match will again be a sellout but this time at the ground’s maximum capacity of 10,210. “It wasn’t the best experience for all our fans and family with the restrictions so I’m really happy for everyone it’s back on the Sunny Coast,” Brigginshaw said. “I thought we needed another opportunity here after winning the trophy. I think we need to fill this stadium with as many people as we possibly can and put on the spectacle it should’ve been minus COVID-19. “We want to be in the community, at fan days and tick the boxes properly. It just wasn’t what it should’ve been for both teams and that was no one’s fault. “It was still amazing to see maroon in the crowd and family members who haven’t been able to make it to games in Sydney be there. “But now we want it to be even bigger this year. That’s what gets you through, a big crowd and playing in front of your friends and family.” NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said the Sunshine Coast deserved hosting rights again following the success of 2020. “Women’s Origin is one of the highlights of our calendar and we’re excited to see it return to the Sunshine Coast,” Abdo said. “Women’s rugby league is the fastestgrowing part of our game and this year we will create history with two female coaches, that’s a great acknowledgement of the talent in our female ranks.” Queensland Tourism and Sport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe welcomed the announcement.

Maddie Kelly shows her style at Redcliffe on Sunday.

No, it’s not the Royal Family – just a team of ladies having fun at a recent Courses On Course event..

Hobby is now a passion WHAT began as a hobby, something to fill in her time, has become a passion for 15-year-old Maddison Kelly, the Noosa Springs junior who is now determined to make golf her lifetime career. Maddie, one of a group of talented young golfers at Noosa Springs, has seen her handicap plummet from 36 to 5.3 in the past year. The huge improvement is the product of her strenuous practice routine – one that would test the commitment of even a seasoned professional. Armed with a notebook crammed with statistics about the development of her game, Maddie devotes at least 36 hours a week to practice – and that doesn’t include the time taken up actually playing golf. The result of her tireless work is clear to see. Last week, for example, she won a stableford competition at Noosa Springs on Tuesday with 38 points, then won the ladies’ stroke competition on Saturday with a nett 71. The following day she trekked to Redcliffe where she shot 77, won the girls’ nett trophy, and finished outright third, in the Redcliffe Junior Classic. Golf hasn’t always held such a fascination for the articulate Maddie. “Even now I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the game,” she says. She was introduced to golf at the age of five by her dad Greg, who was a fine junior player and a trainee professional in NSW before a motorbike accident ended his career. By the time she was seven, though, her enthusiasm had waned. She didn’t pick up a club for more than two years, then dabbled with golf for another couple of years before getting serious about it when she was 13. When she moved with her parents from Sydney to Noosa Springs a year ago, and began working with Heiniger Golf teaching pro Hamish Robertson, her game really started to blossom. “We live so close to the golf course and the facilities are wonderful,” she said. “I’m homeschooled, so that gives me the flexibility to practice and play golf every day. “I work very hard,” she said. “I’m determined to be as good as I can be.” Maddie says the strength of her game is her driving and her short game. “I’m quite tall and I hit the ball a long way,” she said. “And I work hard on chipping and putting.” She is looking forward to being a part of Noosa Springs’ junior pennant squad, and competing in as many junior tournaments as possible. Then, her future is mapped out. “I’m determined to make golf my career,” she said. “I’ll keep working on my game until I’ve finished school. I want to secure a traineeship by the time I’m 18. “Then I’ll either have a try at Q School, or enrol at an American college.” 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 14 May, 2021

Maddie Kelly collects her trophy for best net score. Chance to support Katie Rose A few spots remain for the Katie Rose Charity Golf Day at Noosa Springs on Sunday, May 23. It’s a 4BBB stableford competition – golfers play in pairs with the better score on each hole becoming the team score – with an 8.30am shotgun start. Great prizes are on offer, there’ll be an auction after the game, and organisers promise an enjoyable, fun-filled day. But the real purpose of the event is to raise money for one of Noosa’s favourite charities – the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice, where more than 100 Noosa residents have spent their final days in a peaceful, caring environment. The entry fee of $145 ($75 for Noosa Springs members) includes green fees, a motorised cart, refreshments on arrival, a two-course lunch and a chance to win some of the excellent prizes.

Herbert sees his future in America Peregian-based world No 94 Lucas Herbert shot a five-under-par 65 at an obscure American golf course to qualify for last week’s Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina as he works towards securing his playing future on the US PGA Tour. A winner on the European Tour last year, Herbert is assured of a start in any of the events on that tour. But, concerned about the pandemic still raging in Europe and focused on earning a spot on the PGA Tour, the former Victorian has based himself in the US. So far he has made three starts on the PGA

Tour this year, without contending. He shot rounds of 76 and 72 to miss the 36-hole cut in the Well Fargo event at Quail Hollow, Charlotte, won by Rory McIlroy. What a way to start festival Each year the Noosa Eat and Drink Festival begins with a fun-filled afternoon of golf, with a delicious difference, at Noosa Springs. Courses on Course – now in its fifth year – is nine holes of golf interspersed with signature food and wine on each hole, accompanied by a generous serving of laughter and entertainment. Competitors are encouraged to dress up and there will be prizes for the most creative outfits.

SPORT

Our People Ron Lane

Our unknown achievers When big seas are lashing our coast line and the big green waves are rolling in, one of the most exciting sports you could ever wish to see, is without a doubt, surf boat racing. This sport, which is a major part of the Australian Surf Life Saving competition calendar, has, when the big surfs are on, the power to bring a crowded beach to its feet: for its men against the sea. It is then, that the boat and safety of the crew is in the hands of the boat sweep: a broken sweep oar, or a broaching wave (a boat moving left or right instead of running straight) can result in a massive roll over, or worse still, go end over end, with some crew still on board. To become a successful sweep, one must first have the ability to read the surf, and the capability to retain his balance and manoeuvre his boat and crew through the on- coming waves, regardless of size. Then comes the allimportant turning: turning his boat at the boat buoys, hopeful picking up the right wave at the right time and holding it on to dry sand. Since the first SLSA surf boat was manned by a five- man crew in 1910, there has been many changes: from being made of wood, to the present- day fiberglass substance; from plank seats to sliding seats and of course, the introduction of female crews. With the importance of the sweep being vital, many went on to become legends: perhaps two of the most famous being the immortal Harold “Rastas” Evans of North Steyne and in later years Ken Murray of Swansea-Belmont In 1949 surf boat racing got its start in the Noosa Club, with its first sweep of note being Keith King; others of high repute being Ken Cleary, Alby Maxwell, Robbie Myer, Stinger Zillman : and in the modern- day group, Mick Gardner, Stewart Cooper and Head Coach/ Sweep, Dave Tomba. With Mick Gardner a successful veteran sweep, plus Stewart Cooper, who hails from the boating fraternity in England, and is now sweeping and learning our ways, David has a good team of sweeps. This is essential in a club of 14 crews: crews who cover all divisions from U/19S to the Masters. . As Head Coach, it is David’s job to ensure that training programs, including gym sessions, are on line and the various crews are allocated to their sweeps: in this allocation, he confers with fellow sweeps. Regarding competition day, he must lease with the Boat Captain Anthony Fox, regarding dates accommodation and travel. Anthony Fox is there to over-sea all requirements outside the rowing, training and actual competition. For many head coaches who are working to build a strong boat section within their club, there will often come a day in big surf, when it all comes together. And the boating people stop and take note. For Noosa, such a day was at the ASL ( Australian Surf rowers League opens) at Eloura 2018. In the female U/19 Division on this day, Noosa had two teams entered and both made the finals: both teams consisted of 16/17yr age school girls. “The surf was 8ft and solid, biggest the girls had ever seen. Both Mick, (who was to sweep the Spangled Drongoes) and I, (who had the Scrub Turkeys,) had to settle the girls, after they watched a monster set of waves clean up most of the Open women in their semi. This spectacle was just prior to our school girls rowing in their final.” The rest is now club history. Not only did the girls make it through the break and out around the cans, but Gardner had swept his Spangled Drongos to win the Gold Medal and Tombas Scrub Turkeys, the Bronze. The beach erupted: It was unbelievable. The Noosa school girls, in their first ever massive surf had achieved an impossible. For the Spangles Drongos the crew was, Zali Kerr, Tayla Fox, Sinead Hayes and Josie Stephenson and for the Scrub Turkeys, Lucy- Grace Cullen, Amelia Frey, Abbey Whittaker and Grace Floyd. All were swamped with hugs and congratulations. “We couldn’t believe it.” said Tomba, “They were rowing in huge surf :and to think they were just kids.” A Noosa folklore had been created For Dave Tomba, apart from his family of wife Kate, daughters Ayva-Maree and Natalie

Family row and sons Brendan and Mitchell, the next big thing in life is sweeping boats, coaching and rowing. However, for this family it can be said that it is definitely a boat family with wife Kate, son Brendan and daughter Ayva-Maree, all rowing for Noosa: in this both Brendan and Ayva Maree have won state titles and this season saw Dave, wife Kate and Ayva -Maree all represent Queensland. For Dave his, first entry into the world of sport began in 1986 when he joined the nippers in the Forrest Beach SLSC age 10. Then at age 15 he obtained his bronze and during that year, while filling in for a boat crew, he became hooked on rowing: and on being mentored by Bob Stone at age 18/19, he began sweeping at Forrest Beach and when Stone left, he competed as sweep/ coach. Then in the 90s, he came under the influence of Michael Brown of Kurrawa, an elite sweep with Australian gold medals to his credit: it was from Brown that he learned so much. Then in 1996 he moved south to Noosa, continuing his lifesaving career by joining the club and also spending some time in Coolum Beach. After 2013/14 season following years of experience, he was asked by the former Noosa boat captain Phil Bowden, to come and get the boat section on track. He formed a U/23 boat crew and this was where it all started: and now 7 years later the results speak for themselves. A major factor was the support of his wife Kate, she was outstanding: obtaining both, sponsorship deals and organising the administration side of boat life. Through-out his career his medal counts at State, ASL and National level is outstanding: also on several occasions, he has represented the state of Queensland. His goal this year is to attract more young men into the sport, a sport which at this very moment, has predominately, female crews. Looking back over last season David Tomba said, “ The Noosa Boaties are going from strength to strength, with this season seeing the best results in the club’s history of surf boat racing.” At the Australian Titles, the Masters kicked it off with the Condors rowing in the 220+mens and making the final, but finishing outside the medals in 5th place. In the women’s Masters 140+ and known as the Noosa Bandits ,they went two better by winning the bronze medal. Based in Yeppoon these ladies travelled over 13,000km to get to carnivals and training weekends.

David Tomba with wife Kate and daughter Ayva-Maree. In the Open Division, five Noosa crews made it through to the top twelve thus achieving a major goal of making the finals. Of these, two crews the Bandits, (Reserve Women’s) ,and the Women’s U/23S bowed out in the semi - finals. The remaining three made it through to their final, with the both the Chums (Open Women’s) and the Bowerbirds (Reserve Women’s) being pipped on the line to finish 4th. However, the Kookaburras (rowing in the U/19s Women’s) went one better and won the bronze medal. For Noosa a medal was a good way to finish the National Titles. In his private life, influenced and supported by his wife Kate, he studied and became a teacher, completing a Sports and Exercise Sci-

ence Degree, July 2017:this was followed by a Masters in Teaching, graduating at the end of 2018.Now he is teaching at the Noosa District State High School. Once again, we have in our community, an unknown achiever. A young family man who, in his chosen sport, achieved so much and taught so many, that with effort, dedication and the ability to accept discipline, they can achieve their goals. Proud to say that he is also another that we can proudly refer to as- One of Our People. Next week we meet yet another of Noosa’s unknown achievers. He works, studies, trains our youth and competes at World International level, in the incredibly disciplined world, of Martial Arts. Friday, 14 May, 2021 NOOSA TODAY 45

Brazzas blitz Margie Pro A couple of weeks ago, while witnessing the final stages of the WSL Narrabeen Pro at close quarters, I fearlessly predicted that the Brazilian Storm was petering out, even as Gabriel Medina was comprehensively winning the event. Well, guess I got that wrong. At the time I was specifically referring to cracks in the armour of current world champion Italo Ferreira and to Felipe Toledo’s failure to ignite so far. But after finals day at Margaret River last Monday, you’d have to say that the Brazilians are totally dominant in world professional surfing, with the most audacious surfers prepared to risk all to conquer, and with a team spirit that goes beyond anything we’ve ever seen before, and I’ve been watching and writing about pro surfing since it began. Of course, we all know that vast numbers of our Brazilian surfing brothers and sisters do not understand the term “take your turn” in English or Portuguese, and at the high performance end, this can be exacerbated by a factor of 10. I know, I’ve surfed with the best and the hungriest in Indo and Hawaii and elsewhere over the years and been wave-starved and frustrated. But I also got to know a few of the first wave Brazzos like Daniel Friedman and Rico de Souza, and later Flavio Padaratz, and found them to be decent human beings despite their desire to ride every wave of every set. So the Storm continues, with Toledo coming back from a lean stretch to comprehensively dispatch South African Jordie Smith in the men’s final, while in the women’s, Tatiana Weston-Webb (who is kind of a Brazza) taking the title from our own Steph Gilmore. At the conclusion of the Margaret River Pro, the third of four events on the Australian pro tour, Brazil holds three of the top five places on the men’s leaderboard, one on the women’s. Australia has no one on the men’s top five and two on the women’s – Steph Gilmore at three and Tyler Wright at five. These numbers mean more on this year’s weird Covid-structured tour, particularly when you consider that with only the mystery bag of Rottnest to come in Australia, our surfers would have expected to be leading the pack. But, like Merewether and Narrabeen before it, Margarets produced some great surf and spectacular performances from rookies and veterans alike. The pro tour is alive and well, we just need to pull our finger out. Surf art at Civic I’m not quite sure how it happened, but the Noosa World Surfing Reserve recently found itself chucked in at the deep end when asked to create a surfboard art competition at a moment’s notice. But since the NWSR was about to launch its Surf Code for schools program at the Noosa Civic, and since Noosa Surf Museum’s Keith Grisman had three boards to donate, we approached principal Richard Wallace at Noosa’s Montessori School, who conferred with art teacher Lucy Yule, and with five days to dead46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 14 May, 2021

With the loose theme of “express your feelings about the Noosa World Surfing Reserve”, 12-year-old artistic duo Rosita Ortega and Chinta Wallace paid homage to the ubiquitous brush turkey. The girls explained: “The inspiration came from wanting to do something that represented Noosa, and that meant a bush turkey. We both love to surf, so we put him on a wave and came up with ‘Surf Turkey’! But we also wanted the message of behaving well in the surf to come through, so we thought, don’t be a turkey and drop in!” Lila Tropp, also 12, came up with ‘Night and Day Under the Ocean’, which reflects the peace and calm she feels when surfing Tea Tree Bay with her dad. She adds: “The happy green octopus represents people’s love of the ocean.” But winning the applause meter on the night was Annie Larwood’s ‘Oceanic Behemoth’, a powerful oceanic imagining taking in everything from Old Testament references to the sea turtles the 14-year-old had seen on a recent trip to Lady Elliot Island. But, Annie was quick to explain, was “not the bloodthirsty, savage kind.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

Demons just too good By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers suffered a 70 point loss on their first real road trip of season 2021 when a skilful and much bigger Surfers Paradise far too good on the Gold Coast. After an even opening stanza where the Noosa boys matched their more experienced opponents from then on it was all one way as the QAFL premiers of 2019 showed their full skill set and ball movement. In fact Noosa were held goalless after half time in a pretty disappointing showing as they slump to 0-5 to begin their first ever QAFL campaign. Club President Rob Purves stating, “The jump up was never going to be easy. We are at state league level and whilst our start is certainly not we wanted this is a time where the true character of people and the club as a whole are tested. Prior to this season we had lost a total of 7 games in 4 years so to lose your first five is a really different position for us. We are blooding youngsters and Bova and the coaching group are working really hard to rectify and improve. To see young Marty, Cooper and Jed out there all teenagers is the way forward. We won’t die wondering here, don’t worry about that.“ Riley O ‘Dwyer returned from a serious corked thigh to be the best player for the Tigers whilst gun forward Aaron Wilson bagged four goals in another impressive performance in the attacking half. Again skipper Aaron Laskey was among the best players whilst defender Ben Guthrie is impressing all with his work rate and consistency.

Women’s seniors win over Pine Rivers 64 to 20. The bottom placed Tigers face 2020 QAFL premiers Morningside this Saturday in a massive day of footy at Rococo Oval. All four senior grades play at home Saturday with the Colts starting the day at 9.30am and our women finishing under lights from 4.45pm. The senior game scheduled for 2pm. Speaking of our Colts a terrific win by the Shane Dawes coached colts to well and truly keep them in the finals hunt at this early stage of the year. Jaxon Smith was outstanding for the victors in their 3 point win whilst Kooper Airey Bamback again shone up forward booting 3 majors. The reserves went down but apart from a sluggish opening quarter were very competitive. Having 2020 senior premiership players Ben Collins (4 goals) and Shane Hutchinson (27 touches) certainly helped whilst 2019 senior premiership player Rhys

It was a great win and celebration for Seniors women with mothers running out on the field with their children. Tarling was terrific also.

Jade Cousins was great all day for the Tigers with young Hannah McKenzie a star forward of centre. Keirra Massoud and Cassy Young were again in the best for the tigers. Sevens Sunrise sports presenter Mark Berretta is our special guest for our presidents lunch this Saturday and I’m sure he will not disappoint. For all information on what’s going on at the Tigers please Google Noosa Tigers Facebook! We are a very proud and successful footy club, the only senior club on the coast to reach 50 years of existance. More information on that celebration coming soon.

Womens senior game was played at Noosa on Saturday. Good luck to all teams representing the Noosa Tigers this weekend. Go Tigers!

OPTIONS OPEN UP PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY AS we march into May there is some glorious weather with cool mornings, sunny days and off-shore breezes across bright blue seas. Yet we are also seeing some interesting properties come to the market, especially with a list of auctions towards the last few weeks of the month. There were also strong family connections when two properties went under the hammer last weekend. At the Rebekah Offermann-listed 74 Tingira Cres, Sunrise Beach, there were 140 enquiries during the campaign, seven registered bidders and of course a large crowd on the day. The family who had the winning bid of $3m, secured a piece of Gabriel Poole architectural heritage built in 1994, and elevated on the north-eastern side of the gully by the beach, the site for their future home when they move from Melbourne.

A three-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 756sq m at 2 Devlin Ct, Tewantin, has been sold after being listed at offers over $647,000. 236478

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom riverfront apartment 5/221-227 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, is set for auction at 11am on Saturday, May 22. 236478

The good news is someone at the auction wants to relocate the actual Shepherds House when the new owners are ready to rebuild, thus preserving an important piece of Noosa’s coastal architectural development. Last Friday at the Jill Goode-listed 83 Shorehaven Drive Noosaville a glamorous waterfront with Hamptons’-inspired fragrant gardens, offers rolled in prior to the auction. There were five registered bidders and a 60-plus crowd on-hand to support the immensely popular Rena and her family. When the hammer fell at $3.65m, applause could be heard from across the wide waterway. The interstate buyer was ecstatic, having missed out at three previous auctions. WATERFRONT MAGNIFICENCE A magnificent as-new waterfront home at 46 Cooran Ct, Noosa Heads, is set for auction on Saturday, May 22, at 12.15pm. Marketed by Kess Prior and Graham Smith of Hinternoosa, the four-bedroom,

either pull the tinnie up or launch the standup paddleboard. Graham was swamped with inquiries from last Tuesday when the property was listed. There have been written offers but as it was structured as a reasonably short campaign they are continuing to auction. Graham and Kess have been running open homes of a Saturday and Wednesday. In doing so they are attracting significant interest from Brisbane as well as interstate. “People who know Noosa Sound and tracking the market know the stock supply is very limited.’’ OPPORTUNITY KNOCKED A three-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 756sq m at 2 Devlin Ct, Tewantin, has been sold after being listed at offers over $647,000. Roger Omdahl at Laguna Real Estate said most interest was as a renovation rather than a rebuild. The vast majority of interest was local, either professional builders or people looking to do it up themselves over time.

two-bathroom, two-car home with pool is on 822sq m. “It’s all but new,’’ Graham said. “I sold it to the current owners six years ago as expatriates in Singapore. “It has had a complete rebuild since then. “They basically only used it as holidays until the end of last year when they were able to return. “Since then they have used it as their permanent residence.’’ Offering exquisite single-level living, it features all European fixtures and fittings, and a steam room as part of the main bedroom ensuite. From here, there is direct access to the pool area that comes with hot and cold external showers, and an outdoor entertaining deck with long water views to the rainforest foreshore opposite. There is great separation from the main and other bedrooms, while the family games area has its own deck area. The property has a strip of sand beach to

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 1309sq m at 13 Aspera Pl, Noosaville, is scheduled for auction at 4pm on Friday, May 21. 236478

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 607sq m at 9 Paul St, Noosa Heads, goes to auction at 12pm on Saturday, May 22. 236478

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, waterfront house with pool at 46 Cooran Ct, Noosa Heads, goes to auction on Saturday, May 22, at 12.15pm. 236478

In the end it was a local couple who will improve it and get good equity, Roger said. “It’s a solid double brick home on one level and is ideally sited on an elevated corner allotment close to shops, schools, golf course, child care, parks, walking/cycle tracks and transport.’’ Now Roger has a two-bedroom, twobathroom riverfront apartment 5/221-227 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, that is set for auction at 2pm on Saturday, May 22. The dual-key unit overlooks Lake Doonella and is one of the larger deluxe units in the Noosa Lakes complex. Roger reports good numbers at the first open houses and interest mainly from interstate as well as South east Queensland. It offers very flexible uses, either to live in, holiday let or use for permanent rentals. There are two separate-key units, so they could be treated as one or two separate units. Both units are fully furnished They would suit the larger or extended family, or perhaps holiday let both and have owner use of one when needed. “You could live in them and use as an investment or your own holidays,’’ Roger said. “You get a good rental yield if both units are in the pool. “The body corp is installing a massive solar system, which comes back to owners either as into the body corp and to individual owners to offset their own usage. “It’s a big bonus all round, very innovative, and will set a high standard for

resorts and businesses in Noosa. “This way they contribute to their own well-being and to the environment generally.’’ The auction will be held in rooms at Laguna Real Estate’s office in Tewantin. ON THE RIVERFRONT It’s got somewhat of a millionaires row name to it but there is also a good vibe developing along Gympie Terrace, especially towards the weekend with streetside entertainers adding to the bar/cafe scene. Bettina Mertel at Laguna Real Estate has been seeing good numbers at open houses for the two-bedroom, two-bathroom riverfront apartment 5, 221-227 Gympie Tce, that she is taking to auction on Saturday, May 22, at 11am. One flight up in the popular Regatta Noosa complex, the apartment is very accessible. Yet it also commands views of the Noosa River. There are no power lines to obstruct the northerly outlook - just the tennis club and the river. There have been a lot of investors inquiring, as well as private viewings from interest both out of area and locals. Inquiry has been from owner-occupiers, parents who live in the area and their children interstate, and for self-managed super funds. Fully furnished with private balcony, there are some glorious sunsets. “There’s a lot of life in Gympie Terrace now,’’ Bettina said. dancing in the streets, salsa … live music in the cafes along the

street … boathouse of a Friday … in good condition as is … SIMPLY IMPECCABLE Nathan Howie of Noosa Estate Agents is getting early registered interest on a stylish four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 13 Aspera Pl, Noosaville. Set for auction on Friday, May 21, at 4pm, the house is on 1309sq m neighbouring a wetlands reserve that adds privacy. “It offers a picture-perfect sanctuary from the hustle and bustle,’’ Nathan said. “The bright and welcoming layout invites you to explore the open-plan design. “It’s a really good family home but interest is coming from retirees as well. “In a quiet enclave, it’s a good affordable opportunity.’’ Interest is mainly local but also Sydney. WELL POSITIONED Rob Spencer of Sunshine Beach Real Estate is getting a lot of interest in a charming Cape Cod house at 9 Paul St, Noosa Heads, he is taking to auction this month. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 607sq m has been with the same owner for more than 20 years. “The key is where it is and what it is,’’ Rob said. “It’s in that sought-after position. “We have already had offers and strong numbers at open homes. “Interested parties from Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne have indicated they will be on the phone. “This is as well as a number of young families, couples and single people.

The warm and carefully selected colour palette continues in the sunken living area with a Jetmaster wood-burning fireplace, custom-built cabinetry along the main wall creating a cosy area for relaxing and enjoying the views over the plunge pool and spa and into the tree canopy, Fully screened large doors opens onto a seated deck area and lush productive gardens. Design and high-end functionality culminate in the kitchen featuring a wasabicoloured glass splashback, stainless steel counter, a large timber island bench and a timber trellis feature with designer Tom Dixon pendants.

Each room has built-in robes and large windows with Roman blinds custom made with Australian designed textiles.

HOME FOCUS

UPWARD AND ONWARD THE REAL THING OLIVIER MILLER PRINCIPAL LAGUNA REAL ESTATE 0419 472 071

THE Upward Trend in Prices in the Noosa region is likely to continue. According to the REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella, the average price in Noosa has surpassed $900,000 showing an annual growth of 15.4% over the last 12 months. It’s actually sitting higher than the

median house price of the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast which showed a growth of 7.7%. Due to the small volume of listings in the last quarter Noosa’s tightly held properties were snapped up quickly and with an abundance of buyers we are finding many properties which are being auctioned selling well above the reserve price. Days on market have been dramatically reduced to under 30 days which is a fabulous outcome for sellers in this very buoyant market. Many property owners who have been watching this trend are now confident to finally list their homes/units and as a

Noosa median house prices surpass $900,000. 237039 result we are finding many more properties are due to hit the market in the next quarter. So with low interest rates and with the

government assistance continuing for the first home buyers and with plenty of buyer activity from our southern counterparts and the continuance of investors purchasing here, the stage is set for sellers to capitalize on these fantastic market conditions. My recommendation to all you “would be sellers” out there, now is the best time to unlock the new value of your home and capitalise on the near perfect selling conditions. If you would like to know what that value is, call one of our Laguna Real Estate Agents on 1800 357 528 who would be happy to assist! ●

PRICELESS VIEW IN A PRIME LOCATION COMPARED to others on this strip of Gympie Terrace, this brilliant apartment would have to represent the best buying in this current market. This location is often referred to as “Millionaires’ Row”! You will love the close proximity to restaurants, cafes, shops and boutiques. Enjoy watching the sunrise and sunset from the North facing balcony which boasts 180° Noosa River views. This fully furnished two bedroom, two bathroom apartment boasts a barbecue area, a large, sparkling inground heated pool, a sizeable security gated undercover car park plus visitor car parks. Set back from the street and with no commercial premises underneath, privacy and peace is assured. In addition, it is ideally located close to the Sunshine Coast Airport, less than half an hour away. The North Shore Noosa River Conservation Reserve is directly opposite this apartment. Throw a line in off the

public jetty across the road for a fresh catch. Watch the river life go by or make it part of your day. Take a kayak for an early morning paddle in the dawn hush. Run a tinnie up the lakes, fish, swim or sail, all just a few steps out of your door. Play tennis across the road. Revel in a car free lifestyle! Take the flat walk to Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street, Noosa’s famous shopping precinct pulsing with award winning restaurants and galleries. Luxury apartments under construction next door to this complex (achieving sale prices of $5 million plus each) provide an indication of the immense appeal of the Gympie Terrace lifestyle and location. Whether holiday or permanently let, or owner occupied, the apartment will be a favourite acquisition to your long term investment portfolio. Don’t miss the opportunity to own your slice of prime Noosa real estate! ●
