Santa’s Classy Helpers to the rescue

By Margie Maccoll Four hundred Noosa families including 1000 children have been identified by care organisations to be in need of help this Christmas and, thanks to the outstanding efforts of Santa’s Classy Helpers, they won’t go without.

Santa’s Classy Helpers founder Lorraine Kenway said the number of people needing help had shocked her.

“It’s over 100 families more than last year. It’s really, really bad. We’re not only looking after disadvantaged families but the working poor,“ she said.

Nine years ago Lorraine, Rosie Grogan and Chris Parker approached Cooroy Families Services hoping they could provide Christmas treats, groceries, toiletries for 10 families in need and Christmas gifts to their children.

Agri-hub vision

By Phil Jarratt

12497020-DL22-21

Councillor Tom Wegener has been a dreamer all of his life, but sometimes he dreams so big that he can barely contain himself.

For the past 18 months he’s been dreaming big about turnips and men in white coats, and Olympic athletes and coaches in restaurants demanding only Noosa produce.

To take the last first: “I look 10 years into the future and I see an Olympic athlete in Brisbane

ordering a salad in a restaurant, and his coach jumps in and asks the waiter, ‘Is this Noosagrade produce?’ And of course the waiter says, ‘Yes, sir. Nothing but the best here’. That’s what is going to happen if we work hard and work smart now.”

In addition to his responsibilities as a councillor, Tom is Noosa Council representative and a board member of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, and the recently-elected president of Permaculture Noosa. He is using

all of these agencies to drive this vision he has for a Noosa “agri-hub”, a consortium of stakeholders that will foster and facilitate a regeneration of sustainable, resilient farming in the shire.

Yes, it’s a big idea, and we’ll get to it in a moment, but first, just so you won’t die wondering, those men and white coats and their turnips.

Tom: “We’ve got 10 years to get Noosa producing the best and healthiest food in the

world. And through the NBRF, we can actually prove that. We can have men in white coats pulling up turnips and going, yep, this is the healthiest turnip in the world because this mound of earth I’ve just pulled it from has been maturing for 10 years the way it should.”

Tom says he’s been banging on about this for the 18 months or so that he’s been a councillor, but the Olympics announcement has certainly seen him ratchet up.

From page 1 Over the years they have been joined by an army of volunteers, who due to the generous donations of locals, bring joy to the increasing number of families who are struggling.

“We put the call out for help and people stepped forward,“ Lorraine said.

For the past year, Santa’s Classy Helpers have been collecting items and fundraising for cash to buy others. They begin the week af-

ter Christmas to collect non-perishable items and, as the year progresses, the goods are held in people’s houses and storage sheds.

Toys are selected to match the age and gender of each child and The Produce Wholesaler from Coolum travelled to the Brisbane Markets on Monday to buy fresh fruit and vegetables.

This year a range of services including You Turn, St Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army, local

churches and school chaplains referred families to Santa’s Classy Helpers.

On Tuesday from about 7.30am, families arrived at The J Theatre to roam the aisles of the group’s makeshift shopping centre to fill their trolleys with fresh fruit and vegetables, groceries, Christmas treats and a toy for each of their children.

Lorraine said each family would receive about $1000 in goods.

School holidays begin today, the borders will open on Monday to domestic visitors and Christmas is well and truly in full swing in Noosa. This weekend there are Christmas celebrations, carols and Christmas lights across the shire. It was shocking to hear from Santa’s Classy Helpers of so many people in the shire struggling, but also heartwarming to hear of so many people doing what they can to help them and bring some joy to families during the festive season.

With Covid restrictions relaxed, it will be wonderful for families to be united across the states next week. What it will mean for Covid cases, we will see.

It’s hard enough to keep track of the government rule changes regarding Covid restrictions, but when you include the fake news circulating on social media, it’s no wonder there’s such confusion and mixed messaging.

Speaking to a retired journo the other day, he raised an interesting issue. His point was that so many people locally relied on shared information on social media for their news, but with many people unable to tell the difference between real news and fake, circulating stories just perpetuated false messages, going unchecked. After centuries of universities building bodies of science and technology based on evidence-based research, a communication revolution has meant that, somehow instead of receiving this trusted information, it has been replaced by myths, conspiracies and gossip.

The World Health Organisation calls the spread of misinformation about Covid an “infodemic” saying it poses a serious public health risk.

Health is in the spotlight now but it’s just the tip of the iceberg of misinformation.

Tom’s agri-hub dreaming From page 1 He says: “Funny story – we were all down at the Future Sunshine Coast conference the other day, watching Ted O’Brien (Fairfax MP and Special Envoy for the Olympics) on the screen saying, ‘I want us to be known the world over as the healthiest place on earth.’ Mayor Stewart was sitting next to me and she nudges me and goes, ‘He stole that from you!’”

The idea of Noosa as a hub of high quality, healthy and sustainable food is by no means new. In fact, it predates the shire itself, going back to pioneer Walter Hay’s extensive market garden on what is now Noosa Sound which fed the few families that lived in Noosa Heads at the start of the 20th century, and the slightly greater number of intrepid tourists who stayed at Hay’s Bay View and Laguna House.

It got another shot in the arm after World War I when family unit dairying led to the formation of co-ops and effective distribution, and when a black cloud formed over the Tweed Shire in NSW because its banana crop was wiped out by bunchy top disease and the new Noosa Shire found the silver lining and became (briefly) Australia’s leading banana producer. By the end of the 1920s, Noosa was developing a reputation as an experimental food bowl.

In more recent times, this writer and his wife joined forces in the early 1990s with foodie businessfolk Helen and Tony Flanagan to found a company called Great Gourmet Adventures which helped promote the quality of local produce by bussing tourists around to meet the growers and eat their crops on site. The farmers’ markets and food and wine festivals that followed this century took the perception of Noosa as a quality food capital much further, but Tom Wegener believes that in the wake of drought and climate change and two years of Covid, sustainable farming is in trouble.

“It’s a long story, but basically the past mantra was go big or get out of farming. Monocropping, mechanisation and chemical fertilisers were the farming standard.

“In Noosa, small farms could not compete in the modern model, and since then, many farming lands, including hobby farms, have become idle and degraded. But, now things have started to change. Farming practices are becoming more focused on micro, intensive farming where crops and animals work in harmony to produce abundance, and regenerate the land. Noosa residents are seeking out locally grown food knowing it is organic, healthy and supports the local community,” Tom says..

“The foundations are now being laid for a rebirth of local farming. But there are substantial obstacles. The first is that small local farming, with current organisations, is not financially viable. Noosa land is very expensive, and along with the costs of machinery, labour, fertilisers and advice, it’s uneconomic.

“On top of this, the land in many cases has been degraded, and climate change poses greater uncertainty.”

While Tom’s ideas on creating a local farming renaissance bubbled away, Noosa Council was in the final stages of debating its Climate Change Response Plan. He paid special atten-

tion to Theme 6: Sustainable agriculture and food systems, which outlines as its priorities, “Support agri-businesses and landholders to create a sustainable and regenerative food system that includes consideration and preparation for climate change risks … Promote sustainable, locally produced food and improve local food access for farmers, residents, visitors and vulnerable people”.

Bingo!

The rationale and the funding would come not from the Economic Plan but from the CCRP. Tom got a small grant from council and started putting the pieces in place, from the ground up, as it were, with the team at Permaculture Noosa beginning the construction of a pavilion at the Cooroy Community Gardens that will have a commercial kitchen and shaded area for the development of local produce.

He says this first step was inspired by Elaine Bradley, the guru of sustainable farming at

Mary Valley Country Harvest, who told him that when Covid hit a lot of elderly people in the valley didn’t want to go out to the markets to buy their food, so the farmers developed their own phone tree and delivered fresh homegrown food to those in need.

“When I heard about that I thought, there’s our response plan for all kinds of catastrophes that could disrupt food supply.”

Now that Agri-Hub is up and running as a live project of Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, and supported by a long list of organisations including Noosa and District Landcare and Tourism Noosa, the greatest challenge is to get people who want to farm onto land where their small farms can be viable and sustainable.

“We want to help young farmers get land because they can’t afford it in Noosa,” Tom says.

“But the NBRF can step in and negotiate with landowners to make unused land available, and with farmers to ensure they would

use the land appropriately. In each case, the NBRF would facilitate a clear contract.

“The landowner gets the land improved through the labour of the farmer, that’s his payment. I’ve spoken to landowners who seem very happy to do this. And we know who the farmers might be through a group called Young Farmers Connect. That organisation is just full of young people who have a dream to get out and make a life on the land.

“So it’s a 10-year plan to make this happen, hinged on the response to climate change, but I was wondering where the economic driver might be, and lo and behold, we get the Olympics in 2032.

“That changes everything. We’ve got 10 years to get Noosa producing the best and healthiest food in the world, and we can do it if we start now.”

breaking work of land clearing, but the project was completed on time. However, when he eventually got back to the Gympie Lands Of-

fice in October, he was not a happy man.

A newly widowed dad with eight children under 14 to care for, Walter Hay probably had every reason to be angry about the way life was unfolding, but his specific issue when he called at the Lands Office was that in his absence, the survey of Tewantin township by Clarendon Stuart had been completed and had resumed much of his and Grainger Ward’s selections. To add insult to injury, of what was left, Ward’s selection now seemed to overlap Hay’s.

After considerable argy-bargy, both Ward and Hay were allowed to make new selections, with Hay also being awarded “rents and survey fees”.

Ward selected land fronting the river north of the town site (the Ward Estate, on which he built Tewantin’s first proper home), while Hay chose 350 acres of Noosa River frontage on the other side of Lake Doonella, reached by crossing a narrow ford at low tide.

Directly across the river at Colloy, more than 150 timber-getters had a sprawling campsite, but all supplies that came over the Noosa bar in steamers went straight to the timber wharf at Tewantin, there to be distributed around the town’s businesses, and by 1873 there were several.

The “shortcut” coach service between Gympie and Tewantin started in 1871, taking about eight to 10 hours, and timed so that arrivals and departures in Tewantin matched the movements of the paddle-steamer Culgoa’s Brisbane runs.

By early 1870, the McGhie, Luya and Co timber partnership had built an extensive sawmill at Mill Point on the shores of Lake Cootharaba with a settlement growing up quickly around it, but as timber was sawn and towed on pontoons downriver where it was transferred to paddle-steamers for the treacherous trip across the bar, and then on to Brisbane or Maryborough, the first real township in what would become Noosa Shire began to take shape.

On the last of the Laguna estuary’s deep water stretch, a new port town was starting to grow around the wharves built for the timber transport ships Gneering, Culgoa, and others soon to follow. As the timber transports took over the river, the local Kabi Kabi called the emerging timber town Dauwadhun, meaning “place of dead logs”, which in white man phonetics became Tewantin, but for years it was known simply as The Shortcut.

In 1868, in response to the demand for transport to the goldfields, Cobb and Co began a twice-weekly coach run from Brisbane to Gympie along the newly completed Gympie Road, pretty much following the line of the Bruce Highway today. But it was a torturous journey over 10 stages, and there were many voices in the business communities of Brisbane, Gympie and Maryborough who favoured the development of a coach route between Gympie and the Noosa River, with passengers and freight connecting there with a steamship for Brisbane, a much faster and more comfortable journey, as long as you survived the crossing of the Noosa bar.

The loudest of those voices belonged to Walter Hay, who had already blazed a trail from Gympie to Lake Cootharaba, and who believed that creating a coach road all the way to the steamship wharf would not be a huge undertaking. Those voices grew still louder in 1869 when the Noosa estuary was surveyed for the first time by Commander GP Heath, Port Master of Queensland, and his depth charts made navigation much safer.

While the Queensland Lieutenant Surveyor Clarendon Stuart was tasked with planning a town site for Tewantin, Walter Hay was appointed overseer of the construction of a coach road between Gympie and the new town. Always a smart operator, Hay made sure that before he went bush to make a road, he had selected some prime land for conditional purchase around the proposed township, the survey of which had not yet been completed.

In this he was not alone. Another to attempt to grab a piece of the pie was one Grainger Ward, who had extensive interests in timber and cattle around Gympie. He and Walter Hay would develop a fierce rivalry in the battle to become Tewantin’s first land baron.

Walter Hay was building the Gympie–Tewantin “shortcut” in June 1870 when his twins were born and his wife Mary Ann died hours later. With no communications reaching his rough bush camp, the tragic news was almost a week old when he received it, and Mary Ann

The mail service began early in 1873, around the same time the telegraph office opened and a temporary police station was built after some “licentious and drunken behaviour” over the Christmas–New Year period.

Tewantin saw quite a bit of this kind of behaviour in its pioneer days, and while there was only one licensed establishment — a bar with a few rooms for travellers out the back — there were several sly grog joints, gambling dens and brothels spread along the town’s two commercial streets, veering off at right angles from the massive fig tree above the river bend.

Queensland Governor Normanby passed through in May 1873, taking the shortcut back to Brisbane from Gympie, and inspected the Elanda timber mill and the McGhie, Luya loading facility at Colloy, having overnighted at postmaster Rob Richardson’s Tewantin pub.

Two months after Governor Normanby’s visit, a boiler exploded at the Elanda mill, killing five men in horrible circumstances. An eyewitness reported he had watched “Phillip Molloy limp away with his feet blown off, his brother Patrick dreadfully scalded”, while “Charles Long was picked up dead, Joseph White’s leg was blown off and Patrick Tierney was scalded so badly he could not live”.

The tragedy further added to a sense of foreboding around Tewantin, even as the timber men held drunken wakes for their mates up and down the streets. In some ways, it was a sad and sordid place, but it was also a frontier town that exuded hope for the future, even in the dark depths of the present, and an increasing number of travellers gave it good reviews.

One such was Gympie businessman and politician James Kidgell, who passed through in August 1875 and penned the following for the “Newsa Notes” column of the Gympie Times: “Having some little spare time at Tewantin I send you a few notes as to the progress of this rising township, as it may without exaggera-

Royal Mail advertising 1930s. tion be termed. The road from Gympie to this place may now be pronounced in good travelling condition, and a well-horsed buggy might be driven through with ease in six or seven hours.

There are certainly two or three bad places to cross, but with ordinary care there is no danger and no fear of getting bogged… I notice a great improvement in every respect since my last visit here. The main thoroughfare begins to present a street-like appearance …

“As a proof of the good opinion entertained as to the future of this place, I might mention that every allotment in the surveyed township has been purchased, and there are numerous enquiries from persons wishing to make similar investments. The scrub is being rapidly cleared away from the point, which has not only the effect of driving away in a great, measure those troublesome companions and flies and mosquitoes, but also imparts additional beauty to the scenery by affording an excellent

view of the lake on the southern side of the township.

“Want of good accommodation has been hitherto the general complaint of visitors to Tewantin. It is satisfactory to know that this deficiency no longer exists, and the traveller … need no longer be afraid of being compelled to undergo a forced abstinence from those creature comforts so indispensable to their welfare.”

And so it remains today. Happy birthday, Tewantin!

$9m landfill expansion High consumerism, vast increases in individual waste generation, visitor waste and the need for better planning decisions were all put forward at a Special Council meeting as reasons why Noosa Council needs to spend $9 million on landfill.

The project to expand and cap Noosa landfill cells was discussed at last week’s meeting included the awarding of a $6.53m construction contract to Hazell Bros (Qld) Pty Ltd. With the currently operated Eumundi-Noosa Road landfill cell expected to reach interim capacity limits by June 2022, the project includes expansion of two existing landfill cells and capping of a decommissioned site.

The project budget of $8,950,000 is $3,684,000 higher than the original budget of $5,266,000. The budget shortfall is expected to be funded from loan borrowings through the QTC annual loan borrowing program for capital works and the deferral of other major waste management capital works including the resource recovery area upgrade.

“Nine million is a shocking figure to look after waste from our community. We are vastly increasing the amount of garbage we are generating per person,“ Cr Brian Stockwell said.

Cr Joe Jurisevic said there were serious questions to ask of the community to find other solutions in the future.

Cr Karen Finzel said the project provided nine million reasons why council needed to make good planning decisions and provide the community with better outcomes. She hoped council could reach future targets in line with other councils.

Cr Frank Wilkie said he “shuddered to think“ of the amount of waste generated had council not introduced recycling bins and waste education.

He warned there would be more expenditure to come once the waste strategy was announced and implemented.

“Exploring new ways of diverting mate-

rial from our landfill and bringing about waste behaviour-change through education and awareness programs will be an important focus as we embark on developing a new waste strategy,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

“But behaviour-change takes time, and with our landfill cell nearing capacity, we must act now. Today’s decision will provide the landfill space our community needs while we all work on improving recycling and waste reduction.”

The project will ensure the landfill meets the shire’s waste needs for another 10-15 years.

Council’s waste and environmental health

manager Kyrone Dodd said in addition to expansion of existing landfill cells and capping of sections that had reached capacity, the project also included construction of an access road around the landfill cells, new drainage systems and high-efficiency sediment basin to treat run-off.

The expansion is part of a landfill masterplan developed to ensure the most efficient use of the site to meet Noosa’s long-term waste needs.

“The works contract is the major part of a total $8.9 million investment in our landfill, which also includes design and site works al-

ready carried out, environmental controls, project management and quality controls,“ Mr Dodd said.

The expansion work is expected to start in January and take around 35 weeks to complete.

Council staff considered four tenders, with Hazell Bros (Qld) Pty Ltd scoring highest against the evaluation criteria.

“Hazell Brothers have experience building landfill projects of a similar nature and their tender offers overall best value for money for ratepayers,” Mr Dodd said.

$8m parade works

Burglary and assault charges Police have charged a man with several offences after he allegedly drove at police while fleeing a burglary at Maroochy River.

Police allege a 47-year-old Maroochy River man entered an address on Belvedere Place at 9.30pm on 27 November and trespassed, tampered with the electricity box, assaulted the victims (a 61-year-old man and 62-yearold woman), damaged a glass door and armed himself with a fence splitting tool.

On police arrival, the man was waiting in his car. As police arrived on scene, he allegedly reversed his vehicle at police, forcing officers to take evasive action to avoid being struck.

Police further allege the man continued to drive dangerously around the property and then left the address. At 11pm, November 28, police received further information of the man’s whereabouts and laid tyre deflation devices at Wants Road, Maroochy River.

A 47-year-old man was arrested and charged with trespass, two counts of common assault, interference with supply of electricity, wilful damage, obstruct police and two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

He appeared in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court and was due to reappear on 6 December.

By Margie Maccoll An $8 million upgrade of Noosa Parade was described at Noosa Council’s Special Meeting last week as a “legacy project” that would make cycling or walking the preferred mode of transport to Hastings Street and cars an “after thought”.

The upgrade of Noosa Parade is budgeted by council at a cost of more than $8m. The tender for the project contract was awarded to Bellwether Contractors with the project to be partly funded by grants.

Noosa Parade, a flat pathway leading to Hastings Street that includes a bus way was built in the 1970s by a developer, the meeting heard.

Council staff told the meeting the project would create a 2.5m off-road shared cycle and pedestrian path, widen the existing on-road cycle path to 1.6m and, by planting natives on the median strip and footpaths, turn it in to a tree-lined boulevard that would change the look and feel of it and encourage motorists to slow down.

The changes would be achieved by narrowing the median strip and turning lanes, and widening the Garth Prowd bridge, staff said.

“We’re not doing this to reduce congestion or create more car parks, it’s about behaviour change. We’re hopeful the demand will be such

Noosa Parade is to undergo an $8 million upgrade. we’ll be creating more cycle lanes like this,” Cr Brian Stockwell said.

Cr Frank Wilkie said cycle lanes protected from the road had been adopted in Northern Europe over decades of changing behaviour.

“The community will get used to cycle lanes separated from the traffic,” he said.

Construction of the nine-month project is expected to begin in January 2022 with completion in October 2022.

Sunshine Coast beach drowning tragedy The body of a 20-year-old Capalaba man was tragically found in waters off Shelley Beach near Caloundra on the afternoon of 5 December.

Water Police on jetskis found the man in waters south of where he went missing.

Preliminary enquiries indicate the man was swimming with a 20-year-old Ferny Hills man when they got into difficulties at around 3.15pm on 4 December.

Three members of the public attempted to rescue the two men and were able to pull one of them to safety.

IN BRIEF

An extensive air and sea search, coordinated by police and including Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ) and the Coast Guard, was conducted for the missing 20-year-old.

Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

Attempted robberies on Sunshine Coast A man has been charged following a series of alleged attempted robberies and assault of a 67-year-old woman at Maroochydore on Wednesday 1 December.

Police located the man at a service station at the intersection of Kawana Way and Station Road at Birtinya. He was taken into custody without further incident. The 30-year-old has been charged with attempted robbery while using or threatening violence, attempted unlawful entry of a vehicle, unlawful entry of a vehicle, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a vehicle while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and while unlicenced.

He was denied police bail and was due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 2 December.

Teens aid vaccine tick A new tech support service is up and running at Noosa Libraries to help the community be prepared for the December 17 border re-opening.

Under the Queensland Government’s plan, everyone will be required to show their vaccine certificates via the Queensland Check-in app when visiting venues and facilities around the state.

Mayor Clare Stewart said loading the vaccine certificate into the Check in app could be technically challenging for some people who don’t regularly use mobile apps.

“So we’ve called on the young technology talents being mentored at our Peregian Digital Hub to help, with support from our library staff,” she said.

“It is wonderful to see our young people step up to help with what can be a daunting

task for many in our community.

“Noosa is certainly ready to welcome back interstate visitors in December and we want to make sure that the community is well-prepared for the new regulations that come with that.”

Helpdesk kiosks have been established by the Noosaville and Cooroy Libraries with sessions available throughout the week.

The initiative is being project-managed by recent USC graduate, Shelene Bailey (22), who is completing a summer internship at the Peregian Digital Hub. “Sessions usually take around 30 minutes for each person we are helping,” she said.

The program is sponsored by Technology One, Australia’s leading enterprise SaaS company.

“We’re a proud supporter of the Peregian Digital Hub’s cadetship programs and it’s fantastic to see those young technologists putting their knowledge to use in service of others in the community,” Technology One chief operating officer Stuart MacDonald said.

To register your interest for an upcoming session email libraries@noosa.qld.gov.au your name, email address, contact number and preferred session location (Noosaville or Cooroy Library) or phone the library on 5329 6555.

Queensland border re-opening date brought forward Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced Queensland borders will re-open to domestic hotspots from 1am, Monday 13 December.

The Premier said nominating a time and a date provided certainty for everyone.

“Queensland’s Plan to Reunite Families had nominated 17 December as the target to re-open,” the Premier said.

“It is clear we will reach our target of 80 per cent fully vaccinated much sooner, although exactly when is difficult to predict.

“Nominating a time and date provides travellers and business with certainty to make their plans and comes four days early.”

As of 1am, Monday 13 December: Travellers from interstate hotspots can

arrive by road or air:

· They must be fully vaccinated. must provide a negative Covid test in · They the previous 72 hours. quarantine is required for the fully vac· No cinated.

International arrivals must be fully vaccinated and return a negative Covid test within 72 hours of departure: They will be required to get a test on arrival.

They must go into home or hotel quarantine for 14 days.

There are two important changes: Travellers no longer have to wait two weeks to be considered fully vaccinated. One is enough.

All travellers from hotspots must get a test

· ·

on day five after their arrival.

The mandate on who can enter venues remains unchanged. It takes effect on December 17.

Vaccinated border zone residents will be able to move freely across the border without the need for a PCR test.

Border passes will be required and will be valid for 14 days.

Unvaccinated residents will be restricted to travel for the limited reasons that exist now.

The Premier said Queensland’s cautious approach had kept Queensland safe.

“We will live with Covid – but on our terms,” the Premier said.

“We must continue to protect the free-

doms Queensland has enjoyed throughout the pandemic and the best way to do that is to continue getting vaccinated.”

Minister for Health Yvette D’Ath said it was a matter of when, not if, the virus began circulating more widely in Queensland.

“We know Covid is coming, we know cases numbers will rise, but we can be as protected as possible by being fully vaccinated.

“Please make it a priority to protect yourself. The vaccine is safe, effective and free.

Minister D’Ath said from 17 December only fully vaccinated people would be permitted to enter pubs, clubs, cinemas, festivals and theme parks and visit vulnerable settings such as hospitals and aged care accommodation.

Spotlight on deer processing plant

By Margie Maccoll Noosa Council officers have recommended what may be Noosa’s first meat processing plant to be approved in a rural residential zone but public opposition and questions raised at Tuesday’s Council committee meeting have pushed the matter on for further discussion.

Council officers told the meeting plant applicants and landowners Adam and Belinda Neilson were seeking a retrospective approval to process the meat at their home-based business from five deer a week that were to be hunted within and outside the shire.

A 52sqm shed located on their property in Patterson Drive, Tinbeerwah, has been retrofitted and has been processing the deer carcases with the meat sold at farmers markets off site.

The applicant has advised that “...no odour is produced, and the minimal noise generated from the processing (cutting) of the carcass is contained inside the meat facility (existing shed). Minimal waste is derived from the use (98 per cent of the animal is harvested), and the waste is taken by vehicle to Council’s Waste Recovery Centre. The applicant has also advised that the facility is not expected to expand and that a maximum of five animals are harvested due to the limited cooling capacity of the facility”.

Mayor Clare Stewart said she had received letters and emails from neighbours concerned about the processing plant being built without approval. They raised concerns about their children seeing dead carcasses, seeing blood being washed off the driveway. They can hear the sawing at night and see into the facility, she said.

Noosa Council.

“How does it not affect their amenity?” she asked.

An officers said he questioned residents’ concerns, saying the applicant bled the deer in the field before wrapping them up and transporting them in his Hilux van to the plant.

He said it was a self-contained facility that was not highly visible and officers visiting the site had determined noise was just audible outside but not audible as you moved further down the owner’s driveway.

Officers said a meat processing plant was considered a home-based industry under the

planning scheme such as jam making may be.

Concerns were also raised that one of council’s assessing officers who had an interest in hunting may have a conflict of interest in assessing the matter.

It was revealed at the meeting that the officer did not have a relationship with the applicant and, while there may be a perceived conflict of interest, the matter was investigated and no conflict found.

The application was referred to the general committee meeting next Monday for further discussion.

Fighting on Tinbeerwah residents are adamant they will continue to fight council’s approval of a backyard meat processing plant in their idyllic rural haven.

The residents of the leafy network of acreage estates off Patterson Road have inundated council with written protests over a retrospective approval from Australian Wild Game Harvesters for a home-based business processing and distributing wild deer meat for restaurants and markets. The processing is done within a fully-sealed and purposebuilt shed and the deer hunter is limited by the size of his cooling facility to processing just five deer a week.

But Brent and Kirsty Pocock, who own a neighbouring property and have young children, wrote in their submission: “We don’t want [our children] to see dead carcasses hanging from the vehicle [coming] in and out of the street/ driveway. This is something that no child or adult should have to encounter in a residential area. The applicant’s truck is not enclosed and the sights are not something we want to see.”

Keith Ince, who lives in nearby Wallaby Lane, wrote to councillors: “It is very difficult for council to argue that transporting up to five deer carcasses in an open vehicle meets this criteria [‘Home based businesses are facilitated where the nature, scale and intensity of the activity is compatible with the low density rural residential character and amenity of the surrounding locality’] and we question whether the potential production of 200 tonnes of venison meets the definition of ‘small scale activities’.

There is a very strong feeling amongst residents that this processing facility has no place in a residential area and we implore all councillors to vote against the material change of use.”

Council spreads cheer “It’s such an uplifting event for our community,” declared Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart as she and the other councillors hit the streets this week to be a part of this year’s Connecting Noosa Christmas Convoy.

Over four afternoons, a convoy of emergency service vehicles, council Local Laws vehicles and a special truck carrying Santa weaved its way through the streets of Noosa.

“It’s about spreading the festive fun but also an opportunity to thank our emergency services who do a tremendous job throughout the year,” community development manager Alison Hamblin said.

The convoy started in Boreen Point and Cooroibah on Monday night 6 December and also took in Kin Kin, Cooran, Pomona, Cooroy, Tewantin and Noosaville.

The convoy culminated on Thursday 9 December with visits to the beachside suburbs of Peregian, Castaways and Sunrise Beach and Hastings Street.

Residents dressed for the occasion to watch the convoy pass by.

“We also made special stops at a number of aged care facilities, which were well received,” Ms Hamblin said.

Noosa Police Acting Inspector Ben Carroll said it was a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas with the community.

The event is funded by Noosa Council with the corporate support of HOT91 and the Madill Motor Group.

The Christmas Convoy kicked off on Monday from Boreen Point.

Mayor encourages giving to those in need in Noosa The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal needs your support to help local charities reach those in need this festive season.

“With your support we can help to ensure that families that face going without this Christmas have food on the table and presents under the tree,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

“Gift cards, vouchers for local businesses, and presents are all gratefully accepted as part of this year’s appeal.”

Donations can be dropped off at Council’s Tewantin Chambers – 9 Pelican Street – and Tewantin-Noosa RSL Club on Memorial Avenue.

St Vincent de Paul Society Noosa spokeswoman Beryl Rowan said Noosa’s housing crisis had hit many people hard in 2021, including a mother and her two children who spent months couch surfing, despite a flawless rental history.

“They had to move out and couldn’t find housing. She was couch surfing with her children for nine months,” Ms Rowan said.

“We’ve met other families sleeping in cars.

There are loads of families that are struggling this year because of the housing affordability crisis so we will be packing hampers full of good cheer and delivering them wherever we can.

“Nobody should miss out and we will do the best we can to make sure that everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

“It’s amazing to have the Mayor’s support with this appeal,” Ms Rowan said.

The Appeal supports St Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army Noosa, Santa’s Classy Helpers, SunnyKids and Youturn Youth Support.

Youturn’s Haig Deere, Manager Homelessness, said after such a tough year, families really appreciated the small things like community kindness.

“It’s so hard to ask for help, but sometimes overwhelmingly special when you get it at

your most vulnerable time,” he said.

“Christmas can be a particularly difficult time with a dinner or a day out simply not possible, and the giving and receiving of gifts is often an unaffordable luxury.”

Mayor Stewart urged everyone who was able, to donate a gift card or present by 18 December 18.

“By working together we can make this Christmas one that residents who have been doing it tough this year, can look back on fondly,” she said.

Go car-free this summer Christmas has come early for locals and visitors with the arrival of free buses from 11 December to 23 January as council’s Go Noosa Holidays transport program shifts into gear.

Once again it will be free to travel on five existing TransLink buses that service Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Peregian Beach, Noosa Parklands, Tewantin, Noosa Civic, Cooroy, Cooran and Pomona. An additional free temporary route will service Peregian Beach to Noosa Heads hourly.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said the free buses were just one of a suite of measures to make getting around easier these holidays.

“Council’s popular Go Noosa Loop Bus that connects Noosa Heads, Noosa Junction and riverside locations along Weyba Drive will again service a park-and-ride facility at the Weyba Road AFL ground and The J, every 15 minutes until 7pm and half hourly until 10pm,” the Mayor said.

“This year the loop bus will run to its normal timetable over the public holidays and will be extended on New Year’s Eve until 1am New Year’s Day. Both sites have ample parking.”

Council also encouraged residents and visitors to leave the car at home and consider exploring fun alternative transport options including the Noosa Ferry, or hiring an e-scooter, e-bike or bicycle.

“Riding a bike or scooter is a great alternative to the car and may even be quicker and more convenient.

“Council will again increase bike and scooter parking along Hastings Street by converting four parking bays to scooter parking in response to last year’s amazing 42 per cent increase in these vehicles entering the precinct.

“Last Christmas the free holiday buses clocked up more than 196,000 passenger trips, which takes pressure off the road network and parking,” Cr Stewart said.

“As in previous years, there will be more than 250 additional paid car parking spaces on

offer at Noosa Heads Lions Park on weekends throughout the holidays and every day during the peak holiday period from Boxing Day to January 16.

“Half of the proceeds from the paid parking will go to Tewantin-Noosa Lions Club to fund its good work in the community.”

All-day paid parking is also available at Bay

Village on Noosa Parade and Noosa Marina in Tewantin.

The Go Noosa initiatives offer locals and visitors a relaxed and fun alternative to travelling around Noosa by private car.

Work begins on bypass

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Mayor Clare Stewart turn the sod on the project.

“The Tewantin Bypass is the final link in upgrading our arterial road network, with this intersection the first location to be improved,” Ms Stewart said.

“The new roundabout will facilitate freeflowing traffic, which is particularly important in peak periods, and accommodate pedestrians and bike riders, and tie into a future bypass road.”

Council’s acting chief executive officer Larry Sengstock said the successful construc-

tion contractor, Sunstate Group Queensland (SGQ), had been tasked with delivering the project safely and efficiently.

“Locals and motorists are going to notice increased activity as crews get to work and machinery is brought in as construction ramps up,” Mr Sengstock said.

“Works to get the project footprint ready have been underway for a number of months, including relocating the Unitywater watermain and Energex powerlines.

“Getting this done while design was being finalised has meant construction of the roundabout started as soon as possible.

“We look forward to being able to provide the local community and motorists with updates about the project as it progresses.”

Construction is expected to take seven months to complete, weather and construction conditions permitting.

Major construction has started on a new twolane roundabout to deliver Stage 1 of the Tewantin Bypass.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the upgrade was part of the Queensland Government’s ongoing commitment to improving road safety, as part of the record $27.5 billion road and transport plan.

“We have committed $9.81 million to design and build a roundabout at the intersection of Cooroy-Noosa Road and Beckmans Road – forming the first stage of the bypass,” Mr Bailey said.

“This project will deliver time-savings to locals and improve safety at what is currently a T-intersection.

“As an avid bike rider, I’m also thrilled to announce the project will include an off-road shared path on the western side of Beckmans Road, providing an active transport connection from Wentworth Street for people walking and riding bikes.“ Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton was also thrilled to see work starting onsite after a long journey.

“Nearly $35 million in road and transport projects will be delivered in the Noosa region in the coming years,” Ms Bolton said.

“This investment and the benefits it will bring for locals, businesses and the future of the Noosa is very welcomed.

“Early works to relocate services have already been completed and today, we are kicking off main construction to create greater safety at this intersection which has been a priority for this community.”

Design and construction of the upgrade is being delivered by Noosa Council through a funding arrangement with the Queensland Government.

Mayor Clare Stewart said construction of a two-lane roundabout at this location would help ease long-term congestion and address safety concerns.

Parents back job training Parents of local high school students are backing the Noosa Education and Training Alliance (NETA) proposal to boost local employment prospects through training for jobs of the future.

NETA is currently investigating flexible training models to ready the local workforce with the capabilities needed within tomorrow’s workplaces, such as advanced digital skills.

The Alliance is surveying the local community to gather their ideas, with strong support for the concept among parents.

NETA representative Ross Hepworth explained their research to date pointed to a series of problems and opportunities, evidenced by parent’s responses.

“Many parents are disappointed their children need to leave Noosa to seek the study and work opportunities that aren’t sufficiently available locally,” Mr Hepworth said.

“While this situation isn’t unique to Noosa, NETA’s vision is to provide pathways into highvalue work through a Future Skills Learning Hub, opening up more local opportunities for employers and employees alike.

The Future Skills Learning Hub in Noosa will extend on the highly successful Peregian Digital Hub where participants are already building the skills sets needed in the ever-evolving digital economy.

“The concept is to match local talent with the current and future needs of our regional businesses, while continually upskilling our talent through short courses offered through the hub.

“Parents strongly support the proposition of providing the ‘tech’ and digital skills needed in modern workplaces, here in Noosa, and

working with local, future focused businesses.”

Parent Malcolm Mitchell endorsed the need for more opportunity for young people.

“The Noosa community can’t only be made up of retirees, middle aged business owners and professionals,” Malcolm said.

“That leaves little prospect for our young adults. It needs to be a place to start your jour-

ney to success as well.”

Fellow parent Melanie Bublyk explained her interest in the project.

“As a parent with children who have endured challenges with their high school education, providing more local training and work choice would be greatly welcomed in the community,” Melanie said.

Noosa Shire Council economic development spokesperson Carolyn Bullen said Council strongly supported the skills hub proposal.

“This project can help strengthen and diversify the local economy by developing current business and attracting new enterprise through the quality of our local talent,” Carolyn said.

“The Future Skills Learning Hub would be a place for all locals who want to ensure their skills are always relevant within rapidly changing workplaces, driven by technological innovation.”

Local business and residents are encouraged to support the research through completion of the short survey at noosa.qld.gov.au (enter ‘future skills’ into search function).

Despite each strata unit being owned separately, Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North commercial property

“The auction day was super busy with a crowd of over 30 people and seven registered bidders all battling it out to become the new owners of this prime position Noosaville development site,” Ms Dielwart said.

“After 72 bids, the property sold for a huge

$1,972,500 that was over 30 per cent above the reserve!

“Both of the vendors, Gladys and Keith, were overcome with emotions and now can move on with their lives with a very comfortable profit.

The man behind the can Sam McKenzie’s illustrations grace the cans and taps for limited release brews that emerge from Eumundi Brewery – and he’s just nailed another brief with his artwork featuring on the just launched cans of Eumundi Brewery Alcoholic Ginger Beer.

Sam, 35, was born and bred in the creative hub that is the village of Eumundi, earned his childhood pocket money drawing at Eumundi Markets, and has gone on to develop a reputation as a successful illustrator and freelance graphic artist.

“I have been drawing ever since I could, drawing throughout school when I was supposed to be doing other stuff,” Sam said.

“Eventually it got to a point where I couldn’t picture myself doing anything else. That’s a kind of blindly stubborn determination, I suppose”.

His style? “It’s informed by old cartoons and comics and the like, with an emphasis on strong ink-work and bold colours,” Sam said.

“I like to try and make dynamic work with a sense of personality, and I like messing around with composition and more design-like elements too.”

Sam designed the illustrations still used on the background of the Eumundi Brewery Refreshing Lager and Pale Ale cans.

“I was thrilled to get the opportunity to design the artwork for the iconic beer that bears the name of my family home town,” Sam said.

He’s since created a mural within the working brewery, has continued to work on new release designs and feels he can contribute something to the town in working on the new brew designs.

“It’s really cool to see that the Eumundi beers getting out there throughout Queensland, and beyond,” he said.

“The launch of the ginger beer really flies the Eumundi flag, celebrating the local region’s reputation as a ginger-growing hub. It’s great to share that Eumundi goodness with beer lovers – and those who appreciate fine art on a can,” laughs Sam. Brewer Chris Sheehan said it’s only fitting that the Eumundi brews featured such edgy artwork.

“Everything about the Imperial Hotel, the home of Eumundi Brewery, honours art and local artists, and creativity runs through the

Graduates help ease care workforce shortage Yet another cohort of students from STEPS Education and Training graduated on Monday 6 December, adding more vital support workers to the disability and aged care support industries.

The students spent the past 26 weeks studying a Certificate III in Individual Support (Aged Care and Disability Specialisation), completing 120 hours of placement in the sector.

The latest class to graduate from STEPS provided a welcome influx of qualified professionals in an industry that, according to analysis conducted by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA), will face a workforce shortage of at least 110,000 over the next 10 years.

As Australia’s unemployment rate soared to 5.2 per cent in October, STEPS Education and Training executive manager Dr Teressa

Schmidt said the industry offered an opportunity for stable, long-term employment.

“The care industry provides some great long term career prospects,” Dr Schmidt said.

“There is security in knowing you’re working in a growing industry, but there is also a lot of diversity in the types of work you can do.

“We really want our students to understand that a career in the care industry can be exciting and rewarding.”

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton MP celebrated with the group as part of the Skilling Queenslanders for Work program funded by the Queensland Government.

Skilling Queenslanders for Work provides skills development, training and job opportunities to unemployed, disengaged or disadvantaged Queenslanders through a suite of targeted skills and training programs.

Family opens The Spit Van

By Abbey Cannan A long term Noosa family has fulfilled its dream of making the Spit their office with a tasty new venture.

Andrew and Leesa Watson, along with some weekend help from their teenage son Charlie, have opened a funky vintage Viscount van serving freshly brewed barista coffees, icecreams and toasties at the Noosa River Mouth.

Leesa said her family aspired to launch their new business, The Spit Van, since they moved to Noosa from Melbourne in 2009.

“We chose to live in Noosa as it was my grandmother’s favourite place in the whole world. After she died, her ashes were scattered at Little Cove, so we feel she is with us here,” she said.

“One of the first people we met when we moved here were Dave and Caroline who ran the previous ice cream van at The Spit.

“We always said we’d love their office and as soon as we heard Dave and Caroline had decided to retire, we submitted our tender application to Noosa Council and crossed our fingers.”

The Watsons are passionate about supporting local suppliers and use Noosa coffee beans by Padre, mouth-watering gelato and ice cream from Noosa Gelato Company and have already gained a cult following for their famous toasties prepared by local cafe, Larder and Baked.

“We have been overwhelmed by local support,” Leesa said.

“We quickly came to realise that The Spit may just be Noosa’s very own locals’ haunt.

“Every day we are surrounded by locals enjoying everything The Spit is.

“The kite surfing community at The Spit are wonderful and it is amazing watching them from the best little office in the world.”

Local artist Mitchell English’s aptly titled Golden Summer artwork wraps the van which looks incredibly unique, while blending in so well with the magical beach surrounds.

“We knew straight away that one of Mitchell’s artworks would be ideal,” Leesa said.

“We chose Golden Summer as the peachy sandy background blends in so well with the natural environment. It literally is the environment.”

Mitchell’s art has an “undeniably Australian, coastal aesthetic”.

The Spit Van is a proud member of Plastic Free Noosa and strives to only offer products that offer a better alternative to plastic including The Noosa Collection of Blue Spring Water in aluminium cans. Packaging and straws are made from sugarcane pulp which is left over from the sugar-making process.

“We choose to leave as little impact on the

Local artist Mitchell English’s aptly titled ‘Golden Summer,’ artwork wraps the van which looks incredibly unique, while blending in so well with the magical beach surrounds. environment as possible,” Leesa said.

Right next to The Spit Van is a Containers for Change wheelie bin for customers to deposit their used cans and bottles.

All proceeds from the collection are donated to The Noosa Flotilla of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard - who are tireless marine search and rescue volunteers.

“We are locals supporting locals,” Leesa said.

“From our Padre Coffee beans to our Noosa Gelato Ice Cream. Before we choose any supplier, we need to tick some boxes and the first box is always local.”

Customers often have a hard time deciding which flavoured ice cream to have scooped with Passionfruit Pavlova, Fairy Bread, Triple Chocolate Cookie Dough, Dairy Free Raspberry and Coconut and more to choose from.

Regulars also enjoy choosing which toasties to have - The Anna, The Evonne, The Scott, The Mick or The Dawn, named after iconic Australians. Can you work out who?

The Spit Van is open Thursday to Monday (Closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays and rainy days).

You can follow The Spit Van on Instagram @thespitvannoosa for their daily posts of the weather conditions at the mouth of gorgeous Noosa River.

The Spit Van is a new venture by long term Noosa family Andrew and Leesa Watson, along with some weekend help from their teenage son Charlie (pictured).

Celebrating accessibility More than 200 people gathered at Mooloolaba Beach on Friday 3 December to celebrate International Day of People with Disability.

Sunshine Coast Council partnered with Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club and many community organisations to host the free event for everyone to enjoy.

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the All Access – Day at the Beach! event was a hit with all ages and people of all abilities.

“All Access promoted the importance of accessibility on local beaches and across the Sunshine Coast as well as the diverse range of accessible activities available for people of different abilities,” Mayor Jamieson said.

“Council places a high priority on shining a light on the importance of inclusion in our community while also celebrating the many abilities and achievements of people with a disability.

“Our expanded Accessible Beaches Program is rolled out at four locations across the region including Coolum, Alexandra Headland, Mooloolaba and Kings beaches.

“Operating this program is not possible without council’s collaboration with the Volunteer Surf Lifesaving Patrols at the Surf Life Saving Clubs.

“The Compass Institute Inc joined the accessible beaches program in 2020, making a beach wheelchair available during business hours, year-round.”

There are more than 4.4 million people currently living with a disability in Australia and the 2016 ABS census reports 5.7 per cent (16,853 people) of the Sunshine Coast popula-

Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club President Darryl Johnson said he was proud to see so many people show their support.

“Mooloolaba Beach is the most inclusive beach on the Sunshine Coast and we’re extremely proud to support this event in promoting inclusion, diversity and beach access for all,” Mr Johnson said.

Activities included volleyball, all-abilities rugby program, tai chi, seated Zumba, beach access mats, Cycling Without Age trishaw rides along the Coastal pathway, beach wheelchairs, a mobile hoist, sand and water play and a fundraising barbecue hosted by Mooloolaba SLSC. This event was proudly supported by Steps, Bush Kids, Montrose, Equity Works, Mooloolaba Starfish Nippers, Collaborative Partnership, NDIS, QLD NRL (All abilities program), Sunshine Coast Council Libraries and Healthy Sunshine Coast.

Decide which single-use plastics will be next to go After the outstanding success of the ban on a variety of single-use plastic items in September this year, Queenslanders are now being asked to have their say on which single-use plastics should be banned next.

Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said consultation was open to gauge how Queenslanders feel about the proposal to expand the ban to cover more single-use plastics.

“This is part of the Government’s commitment to reduce the amount of plastic waste ending up as landfill and stop plastic pollution from ending up in our waterways, on our beaches and causing harm to our wildlife,” Minister Scanlon said.

“The ban on single-use plastic items has now been in place since September 1 this year, and I would like to congratulate the many Queenslanders and retailers who have responded amazingly and positively to the change.

“We are now very keen to hear from the community about what single-use plastic

items we should target next.

“Items we are considering to be part of the ban next include coffee cups and lids, plastic drinking cups, dome lids like those used on milkshakes, plastic wrapping on magazines or newspapers, fruit and vegetable produce bags, expanded polystyrene meat trays, balloon sticks and closures, and bread bag tags.

“The current ban on single-use plastic items and other initiatives such as the Containers for Change scheme have already prevented millions of individual pieces of waste from entering the environment, but we want to hear from the community before we take the next step.”

Queenslanders interested in having their say are encouraged to fill out an online survey at qld.gov.au/supi Submissions opened 6 December 2021 and will close on 28 January 2022.

All submissions received will be considered before the next phase of the single-use plastic items ban is rolled out.

Robert marks 18th at zoo On 1 December, Wildlife Warrior Robert Irwin celebrated his 18th birthday with family and friends at Australia Zoo. The young wildlife photographer and conservationist is excited about sharing his love for wildlife and wild places, helping to continue his father Steve’s mission.

“It is truly extraordinary to be able to connect people with wildlife, especially on my birthday, and I hope that this inspires them to one day become true conservationists and save wildlife,” Robert Irwin said.

To mark his special day, Robert unveiled three new statues at Australia Zoo of a common wombat, a northern hairy-nosed wombat, and a southern hairy-nosed wombat, all of which are now on display for guests to view and enjoy.

The Traditional Owners of the land, The Gubbi Gubbi People of the Sunshine Coast, performed live at the world-famous Crocoseum, before Robert cut his birthday cake and fed a crocodile with his family, teaching everyone about these apex predators.

Australia Zoo had an action-packed day for their guests, with free entry for children aged 14 and under, complimentary breakfast by Mix FM, a free Magnum ice cream, and a wild walk

session with professional photographers from CameraPro, while enjoying the lush and expansive gardens surrounding the wildlife.

Guests also enjoyed clay workshops, iShoot Photobooth boomerang photo station and caricatures, pony rides, a colouring-in competition and a major prize draw.

Robert Irwin passionately spreads the message about wildlife conservation through photography, and recently judged the 2021 Crikey!

Magazine Photography Competition, recognising brilliant photographers from around the world and encouraging more people to capture the beauty of nature.

It was Steve’s dream to have the cleanest water, the freshest air and wildlife in abundance, but most of all, he wanted a future for our children. Today, Robert, along with his mother Terri, and sister Bindi, continues to honour Steve’s legacy through the important work of globally recognised charity Wildlife Warriors.

You never know what you’ll get with this zany British comedy panel show, and that’s what makes it such fun. Comedians Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster have a knack for seeing the truly bizarre side of life, and audiences have lapped up the past two seasons. Tonight, season three kicks off, and there are a gaggle of fresh comedians eager to join the fun, along with some well-known names, including Richard Ayoade (Travel Man), Alan Davies (QI) and Roisin Conaty (After Life). This week, Suzi Ruffell, Tom Allen, Sophie Duker and Desiree Burch get creative with their responses to Acaster’s absurd hypothetical situations in the game show that promises to be totally unscripted.

Nostalgia: it can’t be overrated. This new CSI sequel proudly brings its original main characters, Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox), back to the centre of its trademark grimy-yet-flashy crime scenes. To back them up, a new, younger crew of characters have entered the CSI fold.

Norma’s gift

By Abbey Cannan A 99-year-old Noosa grandmother has left her mark on the world before passing away, raising six children, 25 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren.

Two days before her recent death at Nambour Hospital, Norma Gladman spent the night from 11pm to breakfast time holding FaceTime sessions with about 18 grandchildren and her own children.

“She had such clarity of mind that she gave a personal message to each to take into a life without her presence,“ Norma’s daughter, Laraine Boxshall said.

If you were on Gympie Terrace in May you might have seen Norma at her 99th party celebrating with local friends and family, declaring herself to be ready to turn 100 years old this coming Mothers’ Day weekend in 2022.

“Sadly, Covid has impacted heavily on the aged and their quality of life,“ Laraine said.

“Norma was at her best last May for her 99th birthday. Since then she suffered a series of falls with ever worsening consequences.

“It was difficult that Covid prevented siblings and grandchildren from visiting as her health deteriorated.“ Norma came from Anglesea on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road to live at Riverlands at Tewantin in 2009.

She was then aged 87 and had spent her entire life in Victoria.

Norma settled in well at Riverlands enjoying many activities, along with attending watercolour classes at The U3A and spending Sunday mornings at the Church of Christ in the Tewantin CWA hall.

“She made great friends at Riverlands during her seven years there, notably the beautiful Gwen Cooper and helpful and caring Carmel Bracker,“ Laraine said.

As she needed more assistance with daily

Norma Gladman with Mahalia at Arcare Peregian Springs. life Norma moved to Arcare Peregian Springs, where she lived very happily for over five years, meeting a beautiful friend in Leda Madill.

“Sadly Leda passed away before Norma, so too Gwen Cooper predeceasing her by about a month,“ Laraine said.

Norma was born in Geelong in 1922, her mother Ethel belonging to the famous Nankervis family of football fame and Norma would watch her beloved Cats team play AFL, year after year.

Macular degeneration was not kind to Norma and would have precluded her from watching the Ashes as they begin this week.

Norma loved her life and new friends in Noosa, never regretting her move here.

“This next May hopefully the Australia-wide Gladman family will meet at Mount Macedon in Victoria where she and her late husband Bill one lived, and their ashes will be scattered to the winds,“ Laraine said.

Lifeline crisis centres are receiving more calls than ever before as the mental health catastrophe unfolds across Queensland. With the pandemic dragging deep into the second year, stress is at mammoth levels.

From death row to hero PTSD Dogs Australia has collaborated with Precious Paws Animal Rescue (PPAR) and adopted a new recruit into their assistance dog program The dog will now be trained to become a loyal and supportive assistance dog for a veteran or first responder suffering with PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Willow, a 10-month-old Labrador/Sharpei cross, was facing death before being rescued from a local pound by Precious Paws and placed into their foster care program.

She was on death row and just 48 hours from being euthanised at the pound.

Willow’s future is now looking much brighter after PTSD Dogs Australia head trainer and chief executive officer Angie Weeks contacted the rescue organisation, looking for a new dog to join their assistance dog program.

With her good manners and calm temperament, Willow blitzed her assessment and was found to be just the dog PTSD Dogs Australia were looking for.

Precious Paws Animal Rescue spokesperson, Kerrie Williams said “at Precious Paws we prepare every dog for its new life and are very diligent about where they are placed for their forever homes. We are delighted to partner with PTSD Dogs Australia and believe Willow will be amazing in her new role. From Pounds to Paradise is more than our motto, it’s our ethos”.

Willow, who has received basic obedience training from her foster carer through Precious Paws, will now undergo further training to prepare her for her new role as a much-needed assistance dog.

PTSD Dogs Australia, a local charity based on the Sunshine Coast, rescues dogs from shelters and pounds, trains them to become highly-skilled assistance dogs, then places the dogs, at no cost, to a veteran or first responder.

The dogs offer unconditional love and constant companionship to their handler. Each handler has very different needs, so the dogs are trained to meet the specific requirements and complex needs of their handlers.

Some have night terrors, and require the dog to turn on a light, rouse them from their sleep, and apply deep pressure therapy to comfort them, or they may suffer from physical injuries that prevent them from bending down to retrieve items off the ground, so the dog is trained to retrieve those items for them.

They can even be trained to retrieve washing from the washing machine, load it into a laundry basket, drag the basket to the clothesline and pass each item to their handler.

Receiving an assistance dog is life-changing for these veterans and first responders who often suffer from anxiety, depression, panic attacks, night terrors and more. In some cases, receiving the gift on an assistance dog can even be life saving.

The organisation is almost entirely volunteer run, and relies on donations, grants and sponsorships to carry out their great work.

Art uplifts

Opening celebrations for Julia’s vibrant and colourful exhibition are Saturday 11 December from 4 to 6pm.

Noosa artist Julia Carter’s paintings sparkle and shine with an essence that captures the very joy of life itself.

When you view her work you can’t help but smile and feel uplifted, which is her intention when she paints, and the aim of her upcoming exhibition Joy. “I believe the positive energy and love I put into each piece will radiate out into the world wherever it’s needed,” Julia said.

Following a serious accident whilst early childhood teaching, she began painting for therapy. This became the catalyst for an incredible international art career.

Julia has exhibited all around the world including New York, Hong Kong, Paris, London, Florence and Vienna.

“Once I began, I knew I never wanted to stop. It was something I wanted to do forever. It was all meant to be. Many of my paintings are hung in medical institutions, such as the foyer of the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane, something for which I’m extremely grateful,” she said.

Julia now enjoys spending more time painting in her studio gallery in Noosaville and is ex-

cited to be presenting new smaller pieces for a Christmas celebration and exhibition focusing on bringing some positivity and helping others to connect and feel supported in the midst of such uncertain and challenging times.

She enjoys a playful intuitive approach combining mixed media, textured layers and jewelled embellishment to great effect, recently including crystals with the work for greater healing energy.

“I believe joy is something we connect to inside ourselves, a feeling that lights us up which might come from another’s smile, a sparkle on the ocean, walking in nature, some favourite music or meaningful art,” Julia said.

“It’s important to try and notice what these things are for us and do more of that so we can live a happy, healthy life, especially at the moment.”

Opening celebrations for Julia’s vibrant and colourful exhibition are Saturday 11 December from 4 to 6pm.

The exhibition continues until 24 December, open 10am-3pm, (closed Sunday).

Find the exhibition at 6/33 Gateway Drive Noosaville. For more information visit juliacarterartist.com or call 0414 638 096.

Big result for Anglicans The Christmas Market at the Anglican Church Sunshine Beach on Saturday 27 November was full of festive people enjoying the elaborate Christmas fare on offer to support the Noosa Regional Chaplaincy.

Saving button quail

By Arthur Gorrie Traditional owners are leading a state government project to save the black-breasted button quail on Fraser Island, soon to be formally renamed K’Gari, its Aboriginal name, meaning Paradise.

The birds suffered significant habitat destruction in the K’Gari bushfires last year, according to the reported comments of one island-based Aboriginal ranger.

She and other rangers are involved in a three-year project to determine and mitigate threats and improve the birds’ habitat, she told an ABC journalist.

The broadcaster reported that rangers and researchers had set up 19 cameras on K’gari and five on the mainland at Inskip Point and Double Island Point.

Mainland pictures showed damage from feral cats, foxes and pigs, as well as human damage and weeds.

Ranger work in the area will now include

pig and cat traps, as well as weed management, at quail hot spots.

These would include Inskip Point and Rainbow Beach on the mainland and Dilli Village and the Champagne Pools on the island.

A Butchulla spokesperson said last year’s blaze was “the most devastating bushfire“ in the island’s history, destroying a significant part of the island’s bushland and rainforest.

Traditional burning off would be applied next winter to protect habitat from wildfire,“ she said.

The island is said to be home to four of the seven species of the quail in Queensland.

It is regarded as representing a big proportion of the birds’ habitat.

The rangers have committed to engage in projects to enhance the quail habitat over the next three years.

Research underway on Fraser Island (K’Gari) includes work to ensure the survival of a rare species of quail.

Craft market a success The tables and shelves that were stacked with artworks created by members of Noosa Arts and Crafts 10 days earlier were stripped almost bare during their annual Christmas market.

“It’s been very good,” members said of the market that ended on Sunday, just prior to the group’s festive break beginning on 10 December before members and visitors return on 3 January to continue practicing and teaching the art and crafts they love.

It’s been 10 years since Janelle Turley left her career in hairdressing to immerse herself in a variety of arts and crafts, including

crochet which she teaches weekly at Wallace House.

Only a year ago, Sally Heron took up her unique style of fibre art that she uses to create one-off items including bags while Sue Hayllar uses knitting, smocking and embroidery to create fine art items.

Boomerang Bags proved just as popular as they have been since the organisation was established to replace plastic use across Noosa.

More of the bags will be available this Saturday at their stall at Tewantin’s 150th birthday celebrations.

The inaugural Kin Kin Art Fair proved so popular, bringing 620 people through the door of the School of Arts hall, organisers Max Webberley and Jo Wiles repeated the exercise last Saturday with a Christmas Art Fair.

The former Melbourne journalists moved to the region to retire but, after a couple of failed attempts, they decided to launch a business and opened the Kin Kin Depot.

Max said when they discovered Kin Kin to be a real community, they wanted to organise something to bring everyone even closer together and, being aware of its depth of art and nature lovers, thought an art fair was a good way to do it.

The diverse group of artists exhibiting at the fair is a collection of long time professionals and newcomers to their art.

Landscape artist Peter Hughes, 86, is widely known for his art. Greg Liersch has sold his seascapes at galleries across Australia and the US. Erica Evans has created art pieces for 30 years including jewellery and art, and now specialises in painting birds.

Lauretta Sela was inspired by her father, a mosaic artist, and mother, a stained glass artist, to follow an artistic path.

“I’ve always wanted to get into it. I just made one piece and went from there,” she said.

Semi-retired doctor Annette Tyson always had an urge to paint but a career and children got in the way until, at age 50, she took up a brush, taking workshops across the country, before finding her own style.

“A lot of people can’t afford a painting. I wanted my art to be affordable.” So Annette has been putting her art on cards, fabric, tea towels and, more recently, children’s jigsaws.

Kay Emery began painting landscapes five years ago and has gained success with her paintings.

While Viv Bright has returned to painting after an absence of 20 years.

Never-ending tale of traffic woes This is the story of how since 2000 Noosa Council has been paying for free holiday buses and then - after extensive work, expense, public consultation and approval of a comprehensive strategy to address traffic, parking and transport issues - the Council continues to mainly offer free buses.

After the 2016 Noosa Council elections at which Tony Wellington replaced Noel Playford as mayor, it was with great enthusiasm that I joined a project control group overseeing the development of the 10-year Noosa Transport Strategy 2017-2027. There was a lot on the group’s agenda: alleviating traffic congestion; tackling parking issues; augmenting and connecting bike pathways; improving public transport to hinterland townships; and preparing for exponential population growth on the Sunshine Coast.

The goal was to plan and execute projects that would make Noosa an easier, safer and more pleasant place to get around with less dependency on cars.

The agenda was too big and complex to attack piecemeal, so I advocated a holistic, integrated, long-term strategy, not ad hoc projects.

But, while there seemed to be agreement that was required, it got no traction. And my suggestion to build barely discernible multi-level underground car parks to replace hectares of tarmac was rejected, although to me it was environmentally superior.

During councillor workshops behind closed doors, then mayor Wellington periodically reiterated former mayor Playford’s homily that traffic congestion had the positive effect of discouraging visitors. So it was not a big surprise to me that, when the final version of the strategy was unfurled and agreed by the Council, it was conditioned with words like ‘investigate’, ‘study’ and ‘consider’ which seemed purposedesigned to cast a shadow over implementation.

The recommendations included big ticket items like Park-and-Ride hubs on main arterial roads serviced by frequent buses, Noosa-style shuttle buses to link parking hubs to tourist spots, time-limited car parking, paid parking, priority lanes for buses/cycles/scooters, as well as re-activating a previous Walk and Ride to School program.

There was much else and public consultation also brought forward suggestions worthy of attention. The list included linked off-road bike and scooter pathways, electric charging stations, designated car free streets, public use of existing community buses, a bike hire scheme, end of trip facilities (showers, lockers etc), a public river ferry service, and alternative access roads to Noosa Woods and Little Cove.

These latter suggestions were in the final strategy albeit noted as “to be reviewed over the next few years”, presumably an attempt to soothe those proponents whose suggestions would be ignored.

It was at about this time that a Council officer showed me a 1997 transport strategy that identified the same issues and advanced similar proposals as those we were recommending 20 years on. It seemed that major lasting initiatives rarely got off the ground.

Then in came the consultants to conduct a review for a fee of $500,000 after which it was well and truly decision time and councillors kicked around every idea and every opin-

LENSCAPE

Leanne Airey captured this image recently of the beautiful Noosa hinterland. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday. com.au ion and reservation and eventually approved a much diminished traffic strategy badged Go Noosa, comprising the usual free holiday buses with existing parking spaces (from then called park and ride), traffic controllers, a loop bus route via Weyba Drive and Noosa Parade, and ancillary signs and apps.

It was the usual staple - free buses with some bells and whistles. The focus was mainly on addressing peak period traffic congestion around Hastings Street.

This completely sidestepped more permanent solutions, the needs of the hinterland, and the impact of long term population growth down the coast. There was nothing visionary, substantive or long-lasting in spite of the strategy we had spent nearly two years putting together. When the time came to transition from plan to action, aspiration was crushed. Noosa Council had again demonstrated its reluctance to address important issues in good faith.

Former mayor Playford’s six-month electric bus trial - approved at a cost of $500,000 to lease overseas custom manufactured buses - also bit the dust twice, in 2015 and again in 2017. It was as if electric buses were a Noosa invention, so had to be built from scratch and imported.

In 2019, with an eye to a potential grant in the run up to a federal election, then mayor Wellington had staff prepare an e-Noosa proposal comprising electric buses, electric bikes, charging stations, park and ride stations, transit hubs, duplication of the Garth Prowd Bridge, Noosa Parade transit lanes, and paid parking technology. The grant never eventuated.

At the same time, much to my surprise, councillors were informed that the council was advocating against proposed additional two lanes for the heavily trafficked Sunshine Coast motorway reaching all the way to Noosa Shire. At a Sunshine Coast Business Council conference, Cr Wellington made a presentation boasting that Noosa was not party to a number of state road infrastructure improvements, thereby precluding ease of visitor access to Noosa and maintaining its different by nature style.

In October 2019, in response to expressions of community dissatisfaction about transport and traffic issues, I moved that the Council investigate options for constructing park and ride facilities on key transport corridors (as had a been recommended in both the Transport Strategy and the e-Noosa proposal). The other councillors spoke vehemently as a bloc against this and asked a staff member leading questions which were dutifully responded to with prepared answers.

So, after a full term of Council, and so much preparatory work, elections came around in 2020 with little being done beyond the existing free holiday buses. Traffic, parking and transport problems continued to impact residents and visitors and there were people who liked it that way.

Against this history, it’s encouraging to see Mayor Clare Stewart collaborating with the South East Queensland Council of Mayors (a group Playford and Wellington refused to be part of) to build road and transport projects in time for the 2032 Olympics.

Meanwhile, the free buses continue. Recently, the Council approved $588,000 for free Christmas and Easter buses and traffic management, and a further $286,000 for an 18-month trial of free weekend buses.

In February, Noosa Today quoted Cr Brian Stockwell (one of three re-elected councillors who had approved the 2017 transport strategy) on whether more should be done to find a solution to traffic issues. “Have we become complacent?” he asked. “Have we stopped pushing hard enough to get a solution?” They appeared to be rhetorical questions, to which the main answer seems to be free buses.

And residents took to social media to express their frustration. “Is it just me but we are now out of tourist season and we seem to have all day traffic jams in Tewantin and Noosa?” one asked. “I want to go back in time and fire all previous councils for getting us here.“ Ingrid Jackson, Former Noosa councillor

Spend for economy Good guv’mint wishes to fix the economy/ debt and deficit, by hoping that everyone will spend their “damn lot” of money saved during the pandemic to buy things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like. How good’s a Christmas wish?

Margaret Wilkie, Peregian Beach

Mixed message How unfortunate that Llew O’Brien has used the new vaccine mandate laws to criticise the Queensland’s handling of the pandemic.

Queensland has only lagged behind the other states in vaccination rates because the federal government sent our state proportionally far less vaccines in 2020.

He has picked up the catch cry of the anti-vaxers - ‘freedom’ - probably currently the most misused word in the English language. It is the catch cry of US and NATO troops when they invade and devastate a Middle Eastern country.

One person’s freedom can be another person’s disadvantage. In the case of the unvaccinated, that disadvantage would be to frontline health workers, who bear the brunt of the consequences of infected unvaccinated people having being hospitalised. This, and preventing further spread of the virus, is why mandates are being imposed.

It is disingenuous for O’Brien to criticise the Queensland government’s record on health when it was the Newman LNP government that gutted Queensland hospitals, and withdrew $3 million in annual funding from

Noosa Hospital alone.

Deloitte Access Economics has concluded that economic prosperity is directly proportional to lower numbers of Covid infections and deaths, so it is short-sighted to oppose mandates on economic grounds.

Vaccination is the way back to normality.

Joy Ringrose, Pomona

Playing politics I was deeply disappointed to see our local federal member, Llew O’Brien, a man who has always presented himself as being level-headed, rational and pragmatic, jump onto the politically opportunistic ’freedom’ bandwagon. He has now firmly pitched his tent in the same camp that sees the flags of One Nation and UAP flying high.

O’Brien is putting his position forward as being all for business etc etc, yet it is nothing but an attack on our state government and an attempt to appeal to the vocal minority of the self-centered and self-interested ’freedommy-body-my-choice’ mob.

You only need to look at O’Brien’s Facebook page where he made this announcement and read the comments about him ’taking a stand against an experimental vaccine’ and links people have added to a host of conspiracy theory websites to see where he has now positioned himself.

I get that this is making things difficult for small businesses, but let’s be frank here - it’s become difficult because those who have chosen not to get vaccinated are launching attacks on these businesses.

Someone is drunk in the pub - they are warned to slow down and tone it down. They don’t and are thrown out. They then try to fight their way back in. Is that their right of freedom to be doing this? Is it wrong for the pub to have rules to protect other patrons who are doing the right thing? Is it overreach by government to have responsible service of alcohol rules?

Because that analogy isn’t vastly different to what these freedom protesters are demanding - ditch the rules and do what they want regardless of the collateral damage they bring about.

I don’t think anyone likes what we have been through but it’s better than the alternative - the freedom they have in America, which these people seem so keen to emulate, that has seen approximately one in every 435 people die from Covid.

So what next Mr O’Brien? You’ll be pushing to repeal your party’s no-jab-no-play and nojab-no-pay vaccination policies for pre-school children?

Perhaps we don’t really need all that nannystate government involvement in gun licensing either. Driver’s licences… they’re a bit of overreach too aren’t they? And passports. Why should we need those?

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

Christmas wishes to all Well, we are well and truly in the festive season.

This was never more evident than seeing how many people in our community came together and got involved in the fun of this year’s Christmas convoy as we made our way around the Shire. So many residents were in their driveways and celebrating with neighbours as the convoy, including Santa, passed through.

Thank you to all who got involved. The convoy began as a way to fill the gap left by the cancellation of Christmas events last year due to Covid, as well as a way to thank and acknowledge the work of local emergency services.

It was so successful we decided to bring it back this year- bigger and better with the addition of some extra streets to expand the convoy’s reach. The convoy is an initiative of Noosa Council, supported by emergency services, Hot 91 and Madill Motor Group.

With major construction of Stage 1 of the Tewantin Bypass set to start in the coming weeks, it was great to be able to turn the first sod at the intersection of Cooroy-Noosa Road and Beckmans Road recently. The Tewantin Bypass is the long-awaited final link in upgrading our arterial road network, with this intersection the first location for the planned full bypass. The upgraded Cooroy-Noosa Road and Beckmans Road intersection will include a new two-lane roundabout, on-road bike lanes, and pedestrian refuges. The upgrade will improve safety and congestion, with improved traffic flow particularly during peak periods.

Council is proudly delivering this project through a funding agreement with the Department of Transport and Main Roads.

Speaking of significant expenditure, Council recently awarded a contract to expand our current landfill capacity. The $6.53 million construction contract will expand existing landfill cells to help meet Noosa’s waste needs for the next decade or so. The contractor will expand two existing landfill cells at the Eumundi-Noosa Road waste facility and install final capping over sections that have reached capacity. Along with this, Council will investigate new ways of diverting material from landfill and bringing about waste-behaviour change through education and awareness programs as part of developing a new waste strategy. Changing behaviour takes time though, so the landfill expansion will provide the landfill space our community needs while we all work

on improving recycling and waste reduction.

The expansion is a part of a landfill masterplan developed to ensure the most efficient use of the site to meet Noosa’s long-term waste needs.

To say we are disappointed with the decision of the Planning and Environment Court regarding the Kin Kin Quarry is an understatement, but the fight is not over. Although our application for interim enforcement orders was unsuccessful (these orders sought to stop quarry truck movements during school bus hours on the Pomona Kin Kin Road) we will, and are, progressing our application to the Planning and Environment Court seeking final enforcement orders. These orders centre around alleged breaches by the quarry operator and seek to address the intensification of use issues.

We said we would stand with the community on this issue and that is what we are doing.

We’ll be seeking for the operators of the quarry to limit the number of quarry trucks per day, avoid convoying and ensure movements are within the operating hours, with all truck loads covered. The final hearing will take place over 3 days from 2-4 March 2022.

To end on a high note - a big thank-you to all those who responded to our liveability survey. We received over 1000 responses which will give us at Council a good insight into what you consider important in your suburbs and villages. This information will help shape our future budget deliberations.

Finally, our Go Noosa Transport initiatives return for the upcoming Christmas holiday period. Enjoy the ease of getting around Noosa on the free holiday buses, which run from 11 December 2021- 23 January 2022. For more information on Go Noosa and the upcoming free holiday buses, please visit noosa.qld.gov. au/go-noosa-holidays As we come to the close of 2021, the year has been challenging for so many in our community with the impacts of Covid still being felt on many levels, however, the resilience and spirit of the Noosa Shire community has so clearly shone through. It has inspired me, along with all other Councillors, on a daily basis.

On behalf of them and all at Noosa Council we wish you, your families and loved ones, a safe, happy and peaceful Christmas. We look forward to working with, and for you, in 2022.

Merry Christmas, love Clare.

Mayor Clare Stewart

Domestic violence support is a priority for council Supporting the local domestic and family violence response is firmly on Noosa Council’s agenda, says Mayor Clare Stewart.

Recently, on the eve of the 16-Days-ofActivism-Against-Gender-Based-Violence initiative, Mayor Stewart and councillors briefed the State’s Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Council on the ways Noosa Council is assisting.

“The Shine Houses are one of Noosa’s longest running and most successful domestic violence support initiatives,” Mayor Stewart said.

“For more than a decade the houses have provided those who are fleeing violent family and domestic situations with transitional accommodation and access to support services to help them establish their independence, deal with trauma and get back on their feet.

“Back then, Council provided land for their construction and just recently we provided a further land parcel, and secured funding from the state, to assist in the construction of another house, which I’m pleased to say is now up and running.”

In a similar model, Council recently approved Youturn Youth Support’s use of Council land at Tewantin for two tiny homes,

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Cr Amelia Lorentson at the meeting with the Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Council. which will soon provide young people in crisis with transitional accommodation.

“There aren’t always a lot of options for young people over 16 who are fleeing violent family and domestic situations and we know that too often they end up on the streets or couch surfing,” Youturn chief executive officer Dr Tanya Bell said.

“This pilot program aims to change that by providing stable and supported accommodation for young people, plus access to

services to help them become independent, gain employment and get out of the cycle of going back to violent home environments where they risk either becoming perpetrators themselves or ongoing victims.”

Council’s community services director Kerri Contini said partnering with local support organisations to respond to domestic and family violence issues locally was a model that worked well.

“For Council, it’s not about taking over that

space, but doing whatever we can to ensure our local not-for-profits that specialise in domestic and family violence support have the help they need to make a difference.”

Council’s community development team facilitates the Northern Sunshine Coast Social Services Network which brings together about 25 agencies that work with vulnerable people.

The agencies take part in bi-monthly meetings to coordinate partnerships and share information, which all helps improve domestic and family violence service delivery.

“Community, too, has a part to play,” the Mayor said, “as we saw earlier this year with the inaugural Mingle with the Mayor Charity Ball, coordinated by WomenKind Australia Inc. “It raised over a quarter-of-a-million dollars to dramatically increase access to specialist DFV counselling services in Cooroy and Noosa.”

Community Alliance Grants are another way Council supports local charities, many of which are working hard to help those impacted by domestic violence, including The Salvation Army, Sunny Kids, St Vincent de Paul and Youturn.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Prawn sanga.

Wagyu brisket.

Interior.

It’s flexi-time at Herbert Trevor Pepys reviews Herbert, Noosa Junction To be perfectly honest, Trev has been putting off this visit for at least six months, waiting for the Herbert team to come to their senses and feed the man meat!

Or at least a fillet of fish, or just a few slices of ceviche perhaps, alongside the charred cabbage and the roasted broccoli. Not that there’s anything wrong with a hearty plate of veggies, of course, but as far as Trev is concerned, particularly so if there’s a crispy-winged baked snapper or a sticky lamb chop snuggling up to them.

But clearly Trev doesn’t get the point. It’s uber-trendy to eat only, or almost only, plantbased food (which, for the uncool, is the food formerly known as veggies). Indeed, consider the following from the Herbert website: “Experimenting with foraged ingredients and seasonal produce sourced from local farms, Herbert will exceed expectations whether you are vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian or flexitarian.”

So there’s a fancy name for all shades of non-meat eaters, and Trev was relieved to find that he might just make the grade as a “flexitarian”, if we stretch the rules a bit to cover his propensity for meat and two veg at least once a day. And yes, flexi-thingy is a word. Trev looked it up: a person who has a primarily vegetarian diet but occasionally eats meat or fish.

Trev found all of this nonsense just a little bit – how shall we put it politely? – wanky, and probing deeper he noted that the wine list didn’t include prices – another trap for young players. So not to put too fine a point on it, Trev was dreading the day he would have to attack a charred cabbage in the name of journalism.

But lo and behold, the other day he scanned the Herbert online menu and saw to his very great relief the addition of a Smoked Wagyu Brisket. He made a reservation immediately, in case it was a mistake or the work of a rogue carnivorous menu writer and would soon disappear.

And so it was, still with some slight trepida-

Interior looking to kitchen. tion, that Trev and the missus made their way along the increasingly delightful eat street of Arcadia Walk just before sunset to snare our early sitting at Herbert. I watched the restaurant taking shape many months ago and

could see that it had some stylish elements, but I could never have guessed that the completed indoor/outdoor space would be such a stunner – comfortably under-stated in earthy, plant-based colours with just a splash of co-

lourful art, intimate yet not crowded, even as the Friday night flexitarians filled the place up.

Yes, okay, it looks cool. But would it stand the taste test?

We were shown to our table by charming co-owner Leon Johnston, who, alongside Alex Mckechnie, has conceptualised Herbert not only to personal taste but to fill a perceived gap in the Noosa offering, and, judging by the number of diners and their reaction to what they were eating, they seem to have got it right.

Trev ordered a bottle of 2021 Pinot Gris from The Other Wine Co ($60) and saw immediately why Herbert keeps its wine prices a secret until you get there. On the other hand, this excellent fruity and spicy Adelaide Hills quaffer from Shaw and Smith’s alternative label retails for around $25-28, so no real gauge there. We sipped while we perused the menu which took all of a nano-second because Trev had already decided that our flexi sensibilities would lead us straight to the solitary meat and fish offerings.

If this seems odd at a plant-based restaurant, know, dear reader, that Trev did it for you, to prove that Herbert can cater to most tastes.

But there was one hitch. The kingfish ceviche had disappeared from the menu. Leon explained that this was based on Herbert’s philosophy of preference for local suppliers, so a fish from faraway waters had been replaced by a Mooloolaba king prawn – literally. Fortunately, the Prawn Sanga ($18), thoughtfully cut in half for sharing, and teamed with avocado, chilli, lemon myrtle, spicy bisque aioli and brioche, was delicious.

Next we shared the Smoked Wagyu Brisket ($39), with chimichurri, Moroccan carrot jam, charred onion, and horseradish crème. Brilliant. Meat cooked to perfection, accompaniments full of zesty flavour.

They’re not wankers and they’ve certainly achieved their goals.

Jacob Bartley caught and released this 44cm golden trevally in the lower estuary.

Fish on new moon rising

Grant Budd from Northshore Bait and Tackle, Marcoola caught and released this thumper 120cm amberjack wide off Noosa. natural. Fishing around the turn in the high tide will see the cleaner water start to run out.

This turn is often a great trigger for fish to start feeding so pay attention to tides while the waters are dirtier.

Freshwater dams and lakes in the region are very close if not over 100 per cent capacity.

While the levels are at their highest in a long time, now is a great time to explore these new areas as fish are often doing the same. Go in with stealth and lighter lines around 8-12lb and cycle through surface to subsurface lures and finish off with jigs especially on schooled up bass sitting deep. The Hot Bite spoons are deadly on schooled up bass. To fish these you need to bring the lure through the school and let it drop through them as this is often when the bites come.

Now, for all the latest information log onto fishingnoosa.com.au for up-to-date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

TUES 14TH DECEMBER: 12526896-SN50-21

Well, this week has certainly seen some wild weather.

We have finally started to see some good rainfall across the region with local dams and lakes over 100 per cent and spilling or very close to it. We have been waiting for the rivers to flood again and although murky they are very much fishable.

Offshore has been quiet because of the weather, and the winds have been blowing up mid-morning. This has seen only bigger boats heading out to fish the local grounds of North and Sunshine reefs. The fishing has been a bit quiet but with the new moon on Saturday things did improve a little.

Fish on the menu were cobia, snapper, cod, sweetlip and pearlies. The inshore reef belt including Halls and Sunshine usually fishes really well after a rain. For lure anglers dropping a prawn lure down can work wonders as the rivers get a good empty out with the spiring tides. Often not used this way, you can take a ChaseBaits prawn and remove the weedless hook and insert a standard jig head around 4/0. This will allow you to drop it deep and quickly and who knows you may get to tangle with a big coral trout. Sweetlip love prawns so this method is worth a try. Soft vibes are also top performers offshore with the bigger Samaki lures proving top of the pick. Be sure you use around 30lb leader as bigger fish are drawn to these lures.

With pelagics starting to show up, now is a great time to get your rigging done. The first big mahi mahi weighing 12kg was caught around one of the wider fads so do the prep now while we are all waiting. With the weather looking to be perfect next week, don’t get caught out.

Surf fishing has seen a few good gutters opening up with the bigger spring tides peaking on Saturday. The water is a bit murky which bigger fish feel more at home in. The most popular method of fishing is casting small worm, mullet and prawn baits into the wash. After a big rain, big fish will patrol in close so you can expect to hook into a bigger dart or bream. If you have tried to pull live beach worm and are struggling, we sell Alvey worming pliers which some anglers swear by.

The rivers are murky now and carrying a lot of sediment so fishing with heavy vibration lures is a must. Bigger flesh baits and live baits will be top of the list too. We have mentioned the use of soft vibes in previous reports as they really have fish catching capability. If down at the mouth, the smaller Samaki and Berkeley options will work wonders. Flathead and trevally are a sucker for these lures when hopped along the bottom. Twin hook, snell rigs on whitebait and hardy heads will work very well too. Cast bigger baits upstream and let them drift along in the current to make them look

Pin High Peter Owen

Rob scores happy ending The story reads like the plot of a World War 2 romantic movie, starring perhaps Ingrid Bergman and Alec Guinness, with a soundtrack featuring the songs of Vera Lynn.

A young Australian nurse falls in love with a soldier, becomes pregnant, gives birth to twins and, as the morals of the time demanded, gives them up for adoption.

Seeking to start a completely new life, she moves to Britain, gets a job at a hospital, meets a dashing young doctor, marries and lives happily ever after in the green, English countryside.

A product of that union was Rob Mowat, now a retired civil engineer, who grew up in the United Kingdom, studying at Northamptonshire’s Oundle School, where he turned down the chance of playing cricket for the exclusive establishment in favour of golf.

At the age of 28 and already an established engineer, Rob moved to Australia, settling in Brisbane, where he made himself known to a maternal family he’d never met.

Rob’s now living at Peregian, having sold the successful Coolum-based civil engineering company he established with a couple of colleagues. And he’s still playing golf.

Indeed, only last week he was the A grade champion in Noosa Springs’ annual A, B and C grade championships, an event which attracted more than 160 competitors.

Rob played steadily throughout the 54-hole tournament, shooting stableford scores of 33, 32 and 36 to win the A grade trophy on a countback.

“On the final day I found myself in the second to last seeded group with Noosa Springs’ mates Andrew Tregaskis and John Gavin,” Rob said. “Really, all we were trying to do was beat each other.

“But at the end of the day I found I had the same points score as Andrew McLucas, and I was lucky to beat him on a countback.”

While he’s been a golfer since the age of 14 and a 20-year member at Gailes when he lived in Brisbane, Rob didn’t really have the time to concentrate on the game until he retired.

He was a member at Peregian Springs and part of the exodus of golfers to Noosa Springs when Peregian Springs’ future looked doubtful some years ago. He’s retained a lifestyle membership at that course though, and represents the club in masters’ pennant competition.

Rob trimmed his Golf Australia handicap to 5.6 earlier this year, before a bout of pneumonia struck him down and he slipped out to the nine handicap he played off in the A, B and C grade titles.

He modestly concedes he has a fairly simple swing, retains his flexibility, manages to keep the ball in play and has played for long enough to know how to manage his game.

Rob Mowat (right) receives his trophy from event sponsor Alan Goad of Affinity Golf.

But there’s no denying he’s found a rich vein of form.

After his three-day success at Noosa Springs, Rob made the short trip from his home to Peregian the following day and was runner-up in a vets’ event, scoring 36 points.

On Tuesday – his fifth straight day of competitive golf – he shot 35 points at Noosa to win the A grade section of a Sunshine Coast Challenge Golf event.

“I don’t usually play so much golf,” he said.

“But I must say I’m enjoying this purple patch.”

Tooman in fine form for pro-am Noosa veteran Simon Tooman warmed up for this week’s Noosa Legends Pro-Am with a stylish par 71 in the Stradbroke Legends Pro-Am at North Stradbroke on Sunday.

Tooman, a regular contender on the tour, tied for fifth in the 18-hole event – five strokes behind winner Nigel Lane.

Yandina Creek’s Brad Burns shot two-over 73 to finish eighth, alongside Eumundi’s Hugh Dolan, with Noosa’s Mark Tickle (74) tied 11th.

Tooman, a former touring professional who gave up playing for money for several years before resuming his professional career on the Legends Tour, had earlier finished fifth in the Gold Coast Senior PGA Championship at Lakelands.

He shot successive rounds of 69 in that 36hole event last week.

Attention turned to Noosa this week with a crack field contesting the $20,000 One Agency

Noosa Legends Pro-Am on Tuesday. Full details of the event will appear on this page next week.

Jack Newton honoured by NSW PGA The man who founded Australia’s longest running and most successful celebrity golf tournament at the Tewantin Noosa Golf Club 42 years ago has been honoured with the NSW Junior Boy’s Championship trophy to be renamed the Jack Newton Cup. The honour recognises Jack Newton’s outstanding contribution to golf as one of Australia’s best players, as a commentator, course designer and for his long commitment to junior golf through the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation.

One of his greatest legacies is the Jack Newton Celebrity Classic which was played for the first time at Tewantin Noosa in December 1979, and which became famous for the fun enjoyed by competitors, as much as for the quality of golf played.

The first celebrities were Ronnie Corbett and Ricky May, who set the trend and helped create the great feel of the event. Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke was a regular competitor, as were some of Australia’s most famous actors, sports identities, comedians and television stars.

The event grew in size and reputation and, in 1992, relocated to Twin Waters which could accommodate all the guests under one roof.

In 2006 Newton took the tournament to the Hunter Valley region of NSW, where it is now hosted at the Cypress Lakes resort.

Newton turned professional in 1971, becoming one of Australia’s most successful golfers throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. His exploits in The Open at Carnoustie in 1975, where he lost in a playoff to American Tom Watson, and his runner-up finish to Spain’s Seve Ballesteros at the US Masters in 1980, were highlights.

Tragically, his career was cut short following a near-fatal aircraft accident in July 1983.

After walking into the spinning propeller of a plane, Newton lost his right arm and eye and sustained severe abdominal injuries.

Mick’s still on target His golfing ability will never reach the level that saw Michael O’Connor become one of the greatest Australian wingers ever produced by either rugby code, but the long-time Noosa resident is pretty handy at the game, nonetheless.

He showed that last week when he tallied 43 points to win the A grade trophy in Noosa’s popular Tuesday Club competition.

Mick, who’s a member of both Noosa and Noosa Springs, plays regularly at both courses – sometimes three or four times a week.

“I love golf,” he said. “It gets me out of the house, it’s always a challenge because you always want to improve, and I love the social aspect.”

Strong Aussie presence on US Tour Though she endured a season that fell well short of her expectations, Noosa veteran Katherine Kirk retained her playing privileges on the lucrative United States LPGA Tour, along with fellow Aussies Minjee Lee, Hannah Green,

Su Oh and Sarah Kemp.

And they may have further Australian company with Stephanie Kyriacou, Karis Davidson and Sarah Jane Smith in good shape after the first four rounds of Q School qualifying in Mobile, Alabama.

Kyriacou (69, 72, 69, 63) was tied fourth, with Queenslander Karis Davidson (68, 71, 69, 69) tied 11th.

Sunshine Coaster Sarah Jane Smith, who was forced back to Q School after finishing 151st on the regular tour, shot rounds of 70, 73, 67 and 70 to be 24th.

The leading 70 players advance to week two of the qualifying series in Dothan, Alabama, where the top 45, after 72 more holes, will earn playing rights on the LPGA Tour which in 2022 will consist of 34 events and total prize money of $US85.7 million.

Smart time to visit golf shop Those who have visited will know that the Golf Shop at Noosa Springs is more than just a place to pay your green fee and buy a sleeve of golf balls. It stocks an array of stylish golf apparel that, in non-Covid times, attracts clients from all over the country.

This Friday (December 10) the Golf Shop is having its annual one-day sale, with all apparel on offer at a 20 per cent discount. The shop’s open from 6am to 6pm and if you’re there from 4pm, you might just receive a glass of sparkling wine to celebrate the occasion.

Regatta a big success

By Sally Scarce If you visited the Noosa River on Saturday 27 November you would have been rewarded with the spectacle of dozens of outrigger canoes, competing in the annual Noosa River Race.

More than 500 paddlers ranging in ages from seven-89 years, with crews from South East Queensland, Tannum Sands and Norfolk Island, convergeg at Chaplin Park, the home of the Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club (NOCC), for a fantastic regatta in perfect conditions.

The National Sprints and World Sprint Qualifying event originally scheduled for this date was yet another Covid casualty.

So, with just six weeks’ preparation, the NOCC committee and members sprang into action. In what could be described as a Herculean display of teamwork and community, the necessary permits, catering, marketing, communication, scheduling, logistics and Covid compliance were organised, alongside the increased pre-regatta training.

The NOCC was well represented in all categories with many teams making the podium.

Special mention is given to the teams that took home the gold.

SMW (50-60yr) OC2 – Cath and Manu OC2 Master (40-50yr) Mixed Paz and Craig (line honours) Long Course (12km)– Women Unlimited division - Team White -1st (line honours) Platinum (70yr and over) – Team Turnbull Masters (40-50yr) – Team Hegarty Short Course (6km) - Mixed Unlimited division – Team Kenny SM (50-60yr) – Team Rocco Short Course (6km) – Women Novice + Overall Race winner – Team Mitchell All would agree that one of the highlights of the regatta was the large contingency of junior paddlers, with a crew of South Queensland juniors coming all the way from Norfolk Island.

Many juniors were participating in their first small craft (V1/OC1/OC2) race and the regatta designated some prime-time slots for the younger paddlers so all the adult crews could cheer on the Minnows (8-9yrs), 12U and 14U OC6, with many of the juniors paddling two races.

The dedicated presentation was a blast with medals and a surprise free lolly raffle.

The NOCC currently has 14 registered juniors who were all excited to share their river (and jetty jumping) with the juniors from other clubs.

What fantastic results for our young guns.

Jett – received first place in OC1 (16U) and Jett jumped in with the men in the new lightweight canoes, Unlimited Division for second place (sixth across the line in a field of 25) Lachy in his first V1 race was sitting nicely in the pack till a quick Huli happened, a quick recovery put him in fourth behind three others from Norfolk.

There is no denying the future of outrigging is bright with this bunch of superstars.

· · · · · · · · · · ·

More than 500 paddlers lined up for the regatta.

Adler (boys) and Liv (girls) both took out gold in the OC1 (12U) and Ava and LuLu just nosed over the line to take the gold in the OC2 (12U). Ava, LuLu, Liv, Oscar, Billy and Adler came in 3rd in their OC6 (12U) race and then Liv and Adler backed up again with Ry, Lachy, Flynn and Jack to take home silver in OC6 (14U).

And last but not least, our little Minnows (8-10yr), Holly, Sophie, Angus, Josh and Archie won both of their 1km races by almost half a km.

What an amazing effort by our juniors and special mention to Coach Flea, for all the organisation and dedication of coaching these kids.

If you have ever considered giving outrigging a go, head over to the NOCC website for the come and try information and some personal insight into the experiences of some of our crews.

Dolphins celebrate Christmas Noosa Rugby held their Dolphins family Christmas party on Saturday.

The festivities, which included a water slide, live music and touch football competition, were hailed a great hit.

The eight team touch footy comp was coordinated by A grade head coach and recently appointed director of rugby, Matt Buckland.

Each team consisted of a mix of senior and junior players, past players, extended family members and a Droopy Dolphin or two.

A grade vice captain Will Christie’s team was crowned by Mayor Clare Stewart as the inaugural winners, with Clare’s son Will and husband Cam, a Droopy Dolphin foundation player, on the winning side.

The day also bought the first opportunity to mingle with the newly-elected club president Jon Lewis. Jon will take over the reins from outgoing president Donald Mckill.

Shining results after rain

By Randall Woodley Quote of the week:- One-day cricket is an exhibition. Test cricket is an examination. (Henry Blofeld, BBC cricket commentator) Despite all but one of the club’s matches being washed out on day 1, two of the club teams achieved victories last Saturday (day 2), Sixth Grade won on a forfeit and the Fourth Graders finished with a tie!

First grade was at Glasshouse Mountains for a rain-induced one day (50 overs) game and their club did an amazing job to get the pitch and ground into good order after their 300mm plus of rain during the week. Some late changes saw Alex and Nick Bennett and veteran Troy Dennien into the TNT team.

Losing the toss, Tewantin-Noosa batted first on a pitch that had its first roll on Friday but the top order was able to set up a strong platform in the difficult conditions. Chris Wright (35) attacked the bowling early before the rest of the team batted around Jake Dennien for the majority of the innings. Thunder was well on track for a 170-plus score after the 30th over at 3 for 100. Alex Bennett then hit a run a ball 32 with Dennien continuing on to 53 before Scott Aufderheide took the willow to the leather and scored 25 off 13 balls to lift the total to 9 for 207.

Fielding after lunch, Aufderheide and Tom Stewart started well before Dom Taylor relieved Stewart. When the red ball swings, there is no better bowler in the competition than Aufderheide and he was at his pinnacle in this innings.

At the first drinks break Glasshouse Rangers were 5-32 off 16 overs, Aufderheide having four wickets as well as making a direct hit runout.

He bowled his 10 straight for 4-28 with eight coming off the last over, including four overthrows.

Glasshouse grinded well to put on 96 runs for the sixth wicket but the run rate was always under control. They were all out for 175 with Dom Taylor’s 2 for 20 and the others bowlers doing their part and picking up wickets.

Worthwhile noting that Troy Dennien took four catches behind the stumps in a return to his old position in the team.

This result extends the team’s unbeaten run of matches to 19, a club record that is going to be very hard to beat. Next week the team will be at Coolum in the final match of the year.

Second grade Playing against Glasshouse at Read Park last Saturday, the team was in a good position after completing day 1 the previous weekend.

They had bowled out the Rangers for 74 and by stumps had earned first innings points being 7 for 85. Resuming last Saturday, the tail certainly wagged with Adam Curry taking advantage of a very flat and hard wicket, scoring an aggressive 75 along with Harrison Lea’s solid 30.

A 10th wicket partnership of 87 runs helped the Thunder to 194.

Glasshouse made it very obvious from the first ball that they had no interest in chasing the score and shut up shop. They finished the day on 3 for 120 off 51 overs. The bowlers showed great character in tough conditions with the standouts being Ben Giddy, Talon Reichart and James Denslow. The boys are at home again next week against Coolum.

Fourth grade There are usually three outcomes for a cricket match; win, lose or draw. But the Fourths added another outcome in their one-day match against the second placed team, Glasshouse Rangers - a tie. ?The Thunder team lost the toss and found themselves batting and targeting a score of 150-plus off their 40 overs. They started strongly with a 65-run opening stand

by Brendan Wright (24) and Tony Watson (32) before losing quick wickets to be 3-80 after 25 overs. Then new player, Connor Harrison (41 no) and diehard Naveen Chand (44) put on a 72-run stand with some outstanding shots played. The team registered a good, competitive score of 4 for 162.

Having the Rangers 2 for 30 saw the Thunder in a great position to take the game. Tom Daly’s bowling was spot on with many missed chances but he still picked up two important wickets in his eight overs. Connor Harrison also bowled well, unlucky to pick up a wicket in his spell. That left eight overs to bowl and 32 runs for a Ranger’s win. Jack Floyd and Naveen Chand were given the ball and both

At the start of the last over, Glasshouse needed six runs for victory. A few loose throws kept the heart rates pumping with Glasshouse levelling the score with one ball left.

Jiu Jitsu black belts.

CAZA BJJ Club has classes for adults and children.

BJJ is a sport on the rise There are those in Australia who will tell you that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the fastest, if not the fastest growing sports in Australia.

For those who wish to learn more you need to look no further than 153 Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads for this is the home of the Caza JiuJitsu Club. To gain entrance, you walk through the ground floor door, up a flight of stairs, turn left and step into the dojo.

On entering the dojo, you will be greeted by the owner and head instructor Professor Yoshi Hasegawa, Black Belt 3rd Dan. The warm greeting immediately puts visitors at ease. The floor of the dojo is covered by the traditional martial matting known as tatami, and the dojo is spotless and tidy. From the time of his arrival in Noosa in 2012 till now, Yoshi has established a club in our local world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, not only successful but also highly respected.

Born in Tokyo in 1978, Yoshi’s family shifted to the small town of Chigasaki, when Yoshi was just three years of age.

It was during his school years that, at age eight, Yoshi, like all other students, underwent training in martial arts, namely judo or kendo which he continued for some three years. At age 13 he then started Shotokan Karate, but the heavy emphases on the Karta (a set of moves set to a pattern) caused him to lose interest. By age 23, Yoshi had gained tertiary qualifications in accounting and business administration from Japan and the United States, and was also continuing his study of the English language.

It was during this time that he started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (referred to as BJJ) under Beverley Hills instructor Marcus Vinicius.

He went on to join the famous Carlson Gracie team and trained with the renound BJJ practitioner Rey Diogo in Los Angeles.

It was Diogo who took him to his brown belt grading. Yoshi had also started travelling to Brazil, considered by many to be the home of BJJ, when he was a white belt and would continue to do so over the years, while also continuing his training in the US. He had also become heavily involved in competition and, to broaden his experience, he travelled to Sao Paulo in Brazil for a further 18 months of hard training at the famous Barbosa BJJ. It was here that Yoshi was promoted to black belt, then on returning to the United States, he was also graded black belt status by Rey Diogo.

On returning to Japan, Yoshi commenced teaching classes in BJJ and also spent time teaching ground techniques to professional Mixed Martial Arts fighters. He conducted seminars in Phuket Thailand and other places.

This opportunity enable him to commence building a profile with visiting Australian BJJ practitioners. According to a senior club member, “This culminated in Yoshi being invited to 50 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 10 December, 2021

Australia in 2012 by the owner of the Infinite Martial Arts Club in Caloundra. A major aim of this was to help spread BJJ in Noosa.”

Now after several years the CAZA BJJ Club in Noosa is a well established and successful martial arts club. Working along with Yoshi there are some five black belt senior members who assist when required. Also, there are well presented brochures available which give interested parties the required information for both kids and adults’ training times and age groups, for various classes. It is interesting to note the CAZA club of Noosa, as do other clubs, offers parents and kids from two to four years a 30-minute class, all done under a happy, careful fun supervision.

During his time while teaching in Noosa, Yoshi has continued to be part of the global BJJ family. A trip to the US in 2016 saw Yoshi receive a promotion to second degree black belt.

In 2018 he received his third degree from Rey Diogu.

When we look at the history and tradition of Jiu-Jitsu, it tells of the difference between JiuJitsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). It is believed by many historians that Jiu-Jitsu was considered the battlefield art of the Samurai of Japan, essentially developed to allow the Samurai to fight effectively in the event they found themselves disarmed and on foot. However, the BJJ is considered to be more along the lines of a sport with more focus on ground fighting and submission grappling.

Therefore, BJJ offers lots of opportunity for sport, whereas the Japanese art offers little or no opportunities in that area. This could be a major factor in the rapid growth of BJJ throughout Australia. It is now some time ago that a native writer on Jiu-Jitsu said, “In order to fully master any martial art, it is essential to learn under a competent teacher.”

Results in both training of the art and competition have shown that Professor Yoshi Hasegawa is such a person we wish him and his staff every success.

Regarding competition, 2020 saw the club finish third in the Sunshine Coast overall champion team and the following year 2021, they were successful in winning the championship. In individual competition, Samuel Morrison and Toby Parsons, both of whom are kids’ class instructors, also won their divisions.

They are just a few of the many who are now making their presence felt.

Apart from teaching and competing, the CAZA club has offered its support in the community, working with STEPS Autism Treehouse, an organisation formed to assist families with children with autism. In doing so, the club ran a six-week course in basic self-defense, fitness, help exercises and body movements. This gesture of kindness involving children, typifies the true character of the club.

The tidal surge at First Point.

What Fina looked like.

Picture: COURTESY BOM

Remembering Fina Swell Apropos of nothing, a friend asked me the other day if I remembered the Christmas Day swell of 2011. Well, how could you forget it!

At the time I was doing a dawn report of the Noosa points for Swellnet and my early check revealed something that I wish we’d seen more of over the past couple of seasons. Of course we knew that swell was coming but nothing had quite prepared me for the corduroy lines to the horizon I saw as I drove up Park Road.

I walked out to the Boiling Pot lookout and saw Tea Tree at double overhead with only a few out, and the lines holding their power to the Pot and lining out perfectly through Nationals. The swell, the winds and the sand seemed to be perfectly aligned, with First Point immaculate at overhead plus on the sets, peeling close off the point and lining up for a racetrack section through the middle that ended in front of the surf club.

I made haste home, quickly filed my report and hit it back to First Point in time to find my friend Ray Smith, recently arrived from Los Angeles to make a home in Noosa, staring in disbelief as the tidal surge splashed the wall in front of Sails, then ran out across the sand and into the bay. Casing the quickest paddle route, we waited for the next surge, then ran down the beach as it receded and paddled straight into the break with our hair dry.

This was going to be a day to remember.

Because the 10th anniversary of the TC Fina swell is coming up, and because, despite the conflicting predictions from the meteorologists and swell gurus, I have a good feeling about this summer’s swell potential, and because I couldn’t find any of my lineup shots from that morning, I decided to do a bit of homework on Fina.

On 18 December, the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Brisbane reported that a tropical low had developed within the South Pacific convergence zone, to the southeast of Port Moresby, in Papua New Guinea. Over the next few days the low moved towards the south-southwest under the influence of a weak upper ridge of high pressure in an area of weak vertical wind shear. On 20 December, the US Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Centre in Hawaii issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system.

During the next day TCWC Brisbane reported the low had become a category one tropical cyclone and named it Fina during the next day.

However, as soon as Fina was named, it started weakening as an upper-level trough of low pressure moving through eastern Australia.

Late on 22 December, the JTWC cancelled its alert while TCWC Brisbane reported Fina had degenerated into an extratropical cyclone, and predicted that “over the next few days Cyclone

The late Geoff Potter shot this beautiful pic of the glory of the Fina swell.

Fina will develop storm force winds and produce dangerous surfing conditions in southeast Queensland over the Christmas holiday”.

These are the phrases that surfers love to hear, but the drums were beating loud that Santa was bringing waves to the points, and that probably meant huge crowds, savage rips and sweeps and strong winds. And yet, on Christmas morning what did we see? The points as close to perfect as you’ll ever see in a cyclone-generated swell.

I’m not saying Fina was the classic Noosa swell. It was short-lived for a start, and I re-

member driving all night from Canberra in early 1972 for one that gifted us five or six glorious days, think it was TC Daisy. And who could forget TC Roger in ’93!

What I am suggesting is that I have rarely seen the planets align so perfectly as they did that Christmas morning a decade ago. I was old even then, but I can still remember some seemingly endless drops and long beautiful walls to weave across. Being younger, the friend who got me onto this track the other day can recall deep barrels on the outer bays. Ah, memories.

If we get blessed this summer you won’t be able to park and you won’t get a wave to yourself. But bugger it, I’m going to putt putt across the river in the rubber duckie, park it on the Lions Park shore and paddle out. So if you see an old bloke with white hair in the lineup, be nice.

FOOTNOTE: As I write, the Challenger Series at Haleiwa has finalised the qualifiers for the 2022 WSL Men’s World Tour, with the women to be finalised just after press time for this edition. There are some exciting Australian rookies and comeback kids in the pack, so a full report next week.

THE HILL ON SONG WITH RECORD PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY ON a perfect summer’s day, at the Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunterlisted 12 Angler Street, Noosa Heads, a crowd of 60 were in awe of the stunning near-new Rietsma-designed residence with its northerly aspect to Laguna Bay and Noosa National Park.

“Bidding kicked off at $4.5m with a Sydney-based telephone bidder,” recalled Nic, “followed by a local buyer bidding from the comfort of the couch.

“A new bidder came forward with a further increase and the tally climbed to $5.425m.

“There was a pause, being short of the seller’s price level.

“However, positive negotiation orchestrated after the crowd had left saw the sale price $5.6m was agreed.

“All parties were delighted, and a new record was achieved for Noosa Hill.’’

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool on 0.97ha at 228 Ocean Vista Dve, Maroochy River, goes to auction Saturday, December 11, at 10am. 260512 Doonan, a level 0.75-hectare block in a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by a nature reserve, rainforest, creek flowing on two borders and an abundance of birdlife, attracted five bidders and a big band of on-lookers. It was sold for $1.05m, sight unseen to Sydney buyers.

The Chris Miller-listed 35 Regatta Cct, Noosaville, a stunning family residence with oversize flexible indoor/outdoor living spaces, on the high side of the Noosa Waters’ estate, was passed in at $2.5m.

A result was expected post auction from interested parties unable to bid under auction conditions.

OFFSHORE PROVING POPULAR Chris Miller and Tim McSweeney are getting very strong interest in a three-bedroom, ground-floor apartment at 2/287 Gympie Tce, Noosaville.

In the corner of the popular Offshore Noosa Resort, it has a north-east-facing terrace/courtyard with river views.

With generous living space and U-shaped kitchen, there is a near seamless connection from indoors out to the long, very private and wide terracotta-tiled terrace.

Interest in the property, that goes to the market at 2pm on Sunday, has come from Brisbane as well as interstate as it is the perfect weekender, investment or holiday retreat.

Chris also reports a very well attended open house last Saturday to launch the

five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 19 Christella Pl, Verrierdale.

On 0.71ha, the property goes to auction Friday, December 17, at 2pm.

“I was nearly knocked over in the rush,’’ Chis said.

“There has been a wide cross-section of interest - local, from Brisbane and interstate.’’

A CUT ABOVE It’s a spectacular house in an elevated position, giving commanding views over the Sunshine Coast.

When you approach the multi-award winning house, it appears as if the roof is hovering above the leafy setting like the wing of a large aeroplane.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, twocar house with pool on 0.97ha is set for auction at 10am on Saturday, December 11, with Rachel Sellman and Mike Hay of Century 21 Conolly Hay Group Noosa.

As if effortlessly floating above the natural landscape, this Chris Clout Design masterpiece is a modern marvel. Centrally located and built by Chris Smith, the twolevel house is curved around a central courtyard and a raised circular swimming pool that allows direct access from the upper level.

A dazzling blend of glass, timber and natural light creates an ethereal feel while overlooking the sweeping hinterland and ocean views.

LOCAL INTEREST The two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhouse at 11/2 Dolphin Cres, Noosaville, sold prior to the scheduled auction on Friday, November 26.

Marketed by Scott Cowley and Kelsey Melville of Noosa Estate Agents, the townhouse attracted plenty of interest with about 100 inquiries and inspections throughout the campaign.

“The local buyer had limited time to get in and had to make an offer prior,’’ Scott said.

“We have been dealing with a lot of locals … close to 50 percent of clients, even though there is ongoing interest from interstate.

“It went to multiple offers, and was a

really good result in the end.’’

Scott had sold the property to seller three years earlier, and signed this contract three years afterwards to the day.

Some new listings in the background from Scott and Kelsey include a house at Peregian Springs.

Meanwhile Sam Plummer and Angela Wood have a couple of good properties that have come on to the market.

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 42 Shipyard Cct, Noosa Waters, goes to auction Tuesday, December 14, at 2pm.

Then on Friday, December 17, they take the three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car duplex apartment with pool at 1/24 Bluefin Ct to the market at 3pm.

IDEAL ASPECT Chrissie Baker of Laguna Real Estate had five registered bidders at 3/7 Lake St, Tewantin, on Friday for the auction of the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.

With Justin Voss calling the event, the opening bid of $1m knocked out a few, leaving just two to fight it out.

With north-east aspect to the Noosa River, the apartment offered a number of living spaces and decks.

It sold at $1.150m to a local buyer with existing property interests in the area.

Other interest was local as well as from Brisbane and a new resident.

MOMENTUM BUILDS It started out slow but the momentum began to build late in the auction campaign for the two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhouse at 3/8 Hilton Tce, Tewantin.

Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate had one registered bidder on Friday night, then on Saturday at 9am a woman rang from Melbourne wanting to register.

Then another phone bidder and one late local bidder registered on site.

The original townhouse offered filtered views of the Noosa River and auctioneer Justin Voss held the auction on the open land neighbouring the small complex.

A start of $600,000 saw bidders going hammer and tong to $650,000 then in $1000s before it sold at $681,000 to a local buyer intending to renovate.

“It was a terrific auction,’’ Warren said.

“The property is original but solid, and you can do things with it.

“It has been a great holiday unit for the vendors and the sale allows them to get on with the next chapter of their lives.’’

STEPPING STONE Amanda Balding of Richardson & Wrench Noosa sold the three-bedroom, twobathroom townhouse 2/65 Poinciana Ave, Tewantin, prior to auction.

Scheduled for last Friday, the brand new townhouse had attracted six offers from local and interstate but it was a Brisbane couple who grabbed the keys.

“They are ecstatic with the purchase,’’ Amanda said, “and will be using as a stepping stone to moving to the area.’’

FAMILY LIVING NEAR BEACH Descibed as “a quintessential Queensland home,’’ the four-bedroom two-bathroom house with pool at 25 Hardy St, Sunrise Beach, has sold prior to auction on Wednesday, December 8.

Marketed by Adrian Reed and Darren Neal of Reed & Co, the two-level house in an elevated position on 604sq m takes in panoramic hinterland views and allows accommodation for the whole family inside and out.

It is thought to have sold to interstate buyers for in excess of $2.10m.

SUNSHINE’S GOLDEN TRIANGLE Nic Hunter at Tom Offermann Real Estate has had in excess of 50 people plus private inspections at 5 Maher Tce, Sunshine Beach, ahead of Saturday’s auction at 2pm.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, fourcar house has attracted families mainly, looking for a beach house close to the shops, surf and patrolled beach.

“That patrolled beach makes a big difference for families,’’ Nic said.

“Locals are looking to get into the golden triangle of Sunshine Beach.

“There is a lovely north-east orientation from the terrace that ensures comfortable year-round living.

“It’s a pleasure to represent a property of such quality - a lot of thought has gone into the design of the house.’’

The property is attracting Brisbane and interstate interest as well as locals, with Noosa’s eastern beaches becoming a playground for Brisbane residents.

· · · Ecstatic buyers of the two-bedroom, twobathroom townhouse at 2/65 Poinciana Ave, Tewantin. 260512 Nic has also been conducting multiple inspections on the two apartments at 1 & 2/31 Orient Dve, Sunrise Beach, that goes to auction today, Friday, at 11am.

Comprising one three-bedroom, onebathroom apartment, one two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, it is regarded as a prime spot, less than 200m to the beach.

The 625sq m property is zoned for a duplex.

CREEKSIDE GEM Greg Smith and Tanya Taylor at Select Noosa Real Estate have, quite understandably, been getting a lot of interest with the four-bedroom, threebathroom house on 589sq m at 5 Creek Rd, Noosaville.

Scheduled to go to auction this Saturday at 10am, there have been plenty of inspections, Greg said, with buyers getting themselves ready for the auction.

It has been a mix of interest - from Melbourne, Brisbane, throughout New South Wales and locals.

“It has been right across the board,’’ Greg said, “plus a number of video walkthroughs, and some conducted with friends and family of those interested parties.

“A lot are wanting to make offers prior but it’s got to go to auction. Most people understand that.

“Those looking at it love the location.

“It’s a gem - close enough to the river and the shops yet quiet, backing onto the park. You can walk along the creekside pathway to the Noosa Farmers’ Markets.

“There is a fair bit of renovation taking place in the area as people see the potential on offer here.’’

HOME FOCUS

DREAM LIFESTYLE OR INVESTMENT LIFE doesn’t get any better for the unretiring than a townhouse on a Noosaville waterfront. Fish for flathead from one of the four jetties; paddle a kayak around Noosa Waters; take your pick of three swimming pools; plus be a leisurely 5-minute stroll to Gympie Terrace, which runs parallel to the Noosa River and is well-known nationally for myriad classy restaurants, cafes, bars and boutiques.

Striking the perfect match of a seamless harmonious transition to the great outdoors begins at the front gate which opens into a private sun filled courtyard. The front door reveal is bright natural light, a dining area with sliding glass doors, is directly on the right and looking beyond, the backdrop of water is framed by handsome Paperbarks.

For those with a penchant for entertaining or just drinks alfresco, simply peel back the sliding doors of the living space to connect to the large undercover timber deck and the lawn which stretches to the water’s edge. What an asset.

Similarly the location which is five doors away from one end of the well maintained palm-fringed complex and is the start of the pathway to the river-side precinct of Noosaville.

The galley-style kitchen complements the downstairs space; upstairs are two king-size bedrooms with built-in robes and

two bathrooms. The main bedroom on the water-side is sure to impress especially when the lorikeets thrill with their trills and a duck or two comes waddling up to the deck to check if anyone’s awake.

“The interstate owners of this spacious townhouse in Noosaville have met the market and priced it to sell,” says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Julie Bengtsson. “It certainly spells holidays all year round for a semi-retired or retired couple also an astute investor seeking an excellent return in a very popular and well-managed complex, only five minutes to Noosa’s Main Beach and the world-famous Noosa National Park”.

Features: Waterfront lifestyle with lock access and flat walk or bike ride to enjoy all the delights of the Noosa River foreshore and parks.

The kitchen has stone tops and 2-pac finish Laundry and Powder Room on ground level Separate living zones to a private courtyard and entertaining deck 2 King size bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and 2 bathrooms Aircon + fans Lock up single remote garage Access to 4 private jetties, 3 pools and BBQ facilities ●

EARTHINESS WITH GREGARIOUS PERSONALITY ASPIRE to an alluring enviable lifestyle on a peaceful estate 15-minutes to Noosa Heads, in a beautiful residence with a guest cottage, that totally connects and enhances the spectacular location as well as the surrounding magnificent botanicallike sub-tropical gardens and lawns. Yes, dreams do come true.

Admire the lush cul-de-sac, statement gate posts and circular driveway wreathed with nature’s offerings including palms and hedges, before it sweeps around in a porte-cochere manner to the walkway and bespoke double door entrance.

Fashioned with visionary eyes, the intelligent structural design has a natural palette and exudes functionality throughout the over-generous spaces. Be immediately entranced by oh-so high ceilings and note how the polished timber hallway is drenched with natural light and has disappearing doors extending in a U-shape around a terrace. The central atrium is open to the sky to accommodate the star attraction - a century-old grass tree.

The terrace stretches in length and width to encompass an undercover entertaining option with an outdoor kitchen.

It wraps around the north-side, on the right side it becomes a vast timber deck while the south side is solace for sun worshippers. The piece de resistance is the glittering infinity-edge pool.

In the north wing a lounge suggests serious relaxation, an open plan dining/ living space with a fireplace is more about family fun and both spaces access the terrace, manicured lawns, and a vinecovered walkway. On one side is an orchard brimming with papaya, macadamia, dragon fruit, guava, pomegranate and much more.

On the other side there’s a walkway through low maintenance park-like gardens filled with bird-attracting trees and flora.

The kitchen is the full complement and has all the bells and whistles for someone with a Jamie Oliver-style passion to create dishes using just-picked ingredients from the vegetable garden as well as the orchard.

When it comes to dream time the master suite with dual walk-in robes and ensuite with double rainwater showers, double vanities and on-trend black tapware is totally indulgent. Thinking about a swim

under a clear starry night sky? Why not, the pool is a towel-length away.

In the west wing are three bedrooms, a family-size bathroom and a laundry accessing a drying area, also paths leading to the vegetable gardens, and more lawn spaces where kids can play.

When it comes to bonuses, they do not get much better than a purpose-built fully self-contained one-bedroom cottage with a verandah and parking, set privately on the estate.

“This boundless residence set on .71 flourishing hectares is truly in a class of its own,” effuse Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller who is taking the property to auction on Friday 17 December 2021. “It’s especially attractive for those looking to leave the big smoke, eager to decentralize, desirous of a sea change, a tree change, or wanting to snap up a work-at-home residence with indisputable privacy, a sub-tropical climate and proximity to all the natural attributes Noosa Heads and environs has to offer.”

HOME FOCUS

GLEAMING NEW DESIGNER HOME CELEBRATE New Year in a gleaming new designer home centrally located near the Weyba waterway and within walking distance of cosmopolitan Noosa Junction.

First impressions, it radiates contemporary flair and scale. Open the timber and glass door, appreciate the serene environment, high ceilings, premium-grade finishes and the generosity of spaces with emphasis on the on-trend monochromatic palette of muted greys, black and white. This is the perfect canvas for those driven by a desire to add their ‘look’ and enhance livability for the family to relax and enjoy year-round.

Eyes are drawn to the living and dining spaces where wispy sheers invite the northerly breezes indoors and on the easterly side there is an almost seamless flow to outdoors. Wide expanses of lush lawn either side of the covered alfresco

terrace - a super-sized area for the kids to play, extends to the lilli-pilli-fringed garden/ fence line and almost wraps the entire site.

Whether casual barbeques on the terrace or more formal dining occasions, the kitchen has all the latest bells and whistles. There are stone bench tops and timber/white 2-pac cabinetry including the island/breakfast bar, a glossy back subwaytiled splashback, walk-in pantry, plus highend appliances to complement.

When it comes to dream time, size continues to count. The master suite looks out to the front garden, has a walk-in robe and generous ensuite with floor-to-ceiling pale grey tiles and walk-in shower.

The south-east wing could be claimed as a kid’s own territory. A study/hobby space is the entree to three large bedrooms with two looking out to the rear garden. All have built-in robes, and the bathroom has an

oval-shaped bathtub.

“Make your dream of living in Noosa Heads come true the easy way,” says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 18 December 2021.

“Move into this beautiful brand-new family and enjoy the idyllic summer climate.

“Remember it’s only a stone’s throw from the serene waterways around the much sought-after Weyba Park Estate, is a 2-minute walk across the Weyba Bridge to the farmers’ market, also close to myriad cafes, shopping precincts, transport links, schools and a championship golf course.

What are you waiting for?”

A MODERN MASTERPIECE AS if effortlessly floating above the natural landscape, this Chris Clout Design masterpiece is a modern marvel. This sensational curved abode will impress from the moment you arrive with a dazzling blend of glass, timber and natural light that creates an ethereal and luxe feel.

It’s easy to see why this residence has won ten awards including the Master Builders national house of the year award.

The home has been perfectly orientated to simultaneously embrace a circular pool and Asian-inspired gardens as well as overlook the sweeping hinterland views that stretch to the horizon.

High-end finishes from spotted gum timber floors to travertine stone and Italian tiles and hardware ensure a discrete sense of opulence. Inside this serene and peaceful retreat, the living spaces flow seamlessly and walls of glass frame exquisite views.

Two guest bedrooms and an open-plan living space are housed on the lower level where guests can take in the peaceful vista of the pond or step out to the deck and overlook the Maroochy River.

Upstairs, your sumptuous owner’s

suite is a true retreat. Step inside and allow the views to take you away or slip into the gorgeous soaking tub and relish that sensational outlook as you indulge in complete relaxation. A sliding door opens out to the pool for a late-night dip in the summertime.

Your wine collection can be stored in the Vintec wine fridge built into the statement stone island bench and there is also a suite of high-end stainless steel appliances

where you can show off your culinary skills.

The open-plan living and dining space is set under a sky-high ceiling and is flanked by windows to truly capture the essence of this unique abode.

Entertaining is a dream with a zoned Sonos sound system on the expansive 50sqm terrace complete with a glass balustrade and a built-in 4-burner barbecue kitchen with a fridge. A large laundry, a two-car garage and a carport, plus a

plant room, a security system, ducted AC and electric blinds make this a home as functional as it is beautiful.

The long list of extra features continues with 22 solar panels, with a Tigo optimiser system, a total of 68,000l of rainwater and an Ecosafe wastewater treatment plant for self-sufficiency. Protected bushland envelops the home and there are also professionally landscaped gardens with irrigation and lighting. ●
