Circus sends in the clowns - for a time You may have been lucky enough to spot one of several brightly coloured clowns announcing the arrival of the Great Moscow Circus before Noosa Council pulled the pin on the inflatable advertising they say breached signage by-laws.

Nevertheless, the word has spread that the world-famous circus has returned to Noosa, featuring Australia’s top trial riders, ‘The Flair Riders’, exciting juggling, the world’s best daredevil motorcycle Cage Riders, and breathtaking aerial performances.

The Circus will be in Noosa from 23 February to 6 March, and local charity Events4GreaterGood is hosting the Opening Night, with all proceeds going to vulnerable women and families in Noosa.

The Great Moscow Circus first visited Australia in 1965, and have continued to bring it back to Australia every three to five years since.

“We are pleased to say that all locations that we have visited to date have been highly successful,” Circus spokesman Mark Edgley said.

“Each time the circus returns to Australia it is with a completely new show, all new artists, and a completely different production.

Surf museum AOK

Mayor Clare Stewart led from the front at last Monday’s general committee meeting, massaging planning staff recommendations to enable a self-funding business model to operate at the community-based Noosa Surf Museum.

The revised recommendations, passed unanimously by Council, allow for two workable commercial concerns – shared working space short term rentals and a gymnasium – within the former convention centre to enable the surfing museum and reading room to operate without charging an entry fee, and to continue its provision of meeting spaces for surfing organisations such as the Noosa World Surfing Reserve stewardship council.

The mayor’s alternative motion overturned the staff recommendation to refuse the inclusion of offices as inappropriate within a tourism accommodation zone, and its limit of a maximum of 10 clients to use a 400 square metre gym at one time. The gym restriction, apparently a misinterpretation of the application, was changed to allow specific classes of up to 10 people, alongside other individual users. The shared office space was allowed on the basis of its “vibrant atmosphere”, its appeal to holidaying users and its encouragement of business tourism, offering opportunities as an “incubator” for start-up businesses.

Cr Stewart added in her motion that the specific nature of the office space would not conflict with the operations of existing office

rentals in Tewantin or elsewhere. Speaking to the motion, she commended the applicant for providing attractive, reasonably priced temporary work space. “This is a great place for people who are new to the area to start up a business without having to enter a long term lease on a bigger space, and for visitors the spaces provide them with flexibility to work while holidaying.”

Cr Joe Jurisevec said that the provision of casual work space provided exactly what he had needed when away from Noosa but required to work. “The way that business is conducted these days, work space like this is becoming more in demand,” he added. “To me this represents a new opportunity in tourism, for someone working on a project to say, I could do this in Noosa for three months.”

Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie also praised the applicant, Okanui Museum Pty Ltd, for its “innovative use of space”.

Speaking to Noosa Today immediately after the council vote, Okanui Museum chairman Keith Grisman thanked all councillors for taking the time to visit the site and actually see how the components of his business model could work together. “I’m extremely impressed by the way in which councillors approached this application with an open mind and a keen understanding that commercial imperatives and community benefit can ride the same wave. I think the Noosa Surf Museum will become a model for self-funded community centres around the country.”

From Russia with laughs From page 1 “On this occasion the program includes artists from Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus, Colombia, Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Australia and New Zealand.”

Since its first visit in 1965, over 7 million Australians have attended the show.

“It is truly an event that appeals to people of all ages,” Mr Edgley said.

“So far, audiences that have attended this current tour rate it as one of the most spectacular Great Moscow Circus productions ever.”

Events4GreaterGood founder Oz Bayldon said, “We’re pumped to team up with the Great Moscow Circus to offer a very special night out to help those in our community who are most in need.”

“We’ve created a special VIP event with local legend Larry from Rosie’s cooking gourmet canapes, with seafood generously supplied by Soulfish Seafood.

“VIP tickets, which are only $75, include live music, bubbles or beer on entry and ringside tickets which are the best in the house. All proceeds will go to help local families doing it

tough in Noosa.

“If VIP is not for you, general admission tickets are only $25 (usually $55).

“The Circus will feature an all new, extreme show, featuring Australia’s top extreme motorsport bikers – ‘The Flair Riders’.

Mr Bayldon continued, “This circus does not feature animals at all – there’s exciting juggling and musical acts, the world’s best daredevil motorcycle Cage Riders and breathtaking aerial performances.

“After a tough couple of years, it’s great to be able to go out as a family and enjoy some oldfashioned entertainment, right here in Noosa.

It’s a night not to be missed.”

It was a win this week for people power when the Sekisui Yaroomba development was knocked back by the courts and Noosa Council decided to return a block of land considered for social housing to the environment at Pinaroo Park.

It was a small win for the environment but it will take a lot more than this to save our koala.

How did it happen that Australia’s most iconic and cutest animal, the koala, has been listed endangered?

As humans become more prosperous their demands for land for housing, food, production grow. It’s a complex issue.

But an ecosystem’s survival depends on the survival of every species within it, even humans.

Fortunately many humans are working hard to protect the environment including our most treasured animals such as koalas and Glossy Black Cockatoos.

It’s been a busy week in many areas across the shire. Life savers were saving lives on the beach over the weekend.

And at Peregian Beach the life saving club moved a step closer to independence. The Surf Museum also had a win in council in retaining its means to fund the facility that will benefit everyone with free entry to all.

And the clowns may have been let down across the shire but now everyone knows the circus is in town, so go and enjoy.

Habitat versus housing

By Margie Maccoll A deputation to Noosa Council from resident David McCready and wildlife supporters further cemented the position recommended by Council staff that a block of land at 30 Toulambi Street, Noosaville should not be cleared to make way for social housing.

The Council-owned block was one of two locations, a second at 62 Lake McDonald Drive, Cooroy, identified from its land holdings as a possible site for the construction of affordable housing.

A Council investigation found the Noosaville site to be unsuitable due to constraints in relation to vegetation, hydrology, bushfire risk, the slope of the land, its closeness to a flying fox colony and the lot being considered by neighbours to be part of Pinaroo Park.

Mr McCready told Monday’s General Meeting how neighbours had been devastated to hear the site they valued as parkland had been rezoned residential and may be cleared for the construction of a five-bedroom affordable house. For more than 20 years David and Dianna McCready have taken on a voluntary caretaking role of Pinaroo Park, weeding and revegetating the parkland including block 30 and at times been assisted by Council in their endeavours.

Cr Amelia Lorentson said Council needed to acknowledge the work and dedication of the local community and rezone the land for environmental conservation, as well as improve measures in future to tap into local knowledge and consult with the community.

Mayor Clare Stewart acknowledged the unsuitability of the site and the toll the investigation of the site had taken on residents.

She also supported staff recommendations

David and Dianna McCready at the site they have maintained for two decades.

housing in the shire.

If they could help just one person into housing they would be doing better than had been done before, she said.

Cr Frank Wilkie said the housing situation had to be considered in a broader context that included state and federal government measures. He said Noosa Shire was home to 392 social housing properties in which there were an estimated 150 bedrooms unoccupied. Of those properties 80 per cent of households had only one or two persons living in them. He said 73 per cent were under occupied and 43 houses with 3-4 bedrooms had only one person living in them. To exacerbate the situation the federal government had plans to phase out the national rental assistance scheme, he said.

“It’s important we find out more about this situation,” he said. “The least we can do is no harm to the community.”

Cr Brian Stockwell agreed the housing crisis would only be resolved with the funding and support of all levels of government.

Council last year identified the shire to be in the grip of a housing crisis that was impacting the economy, community liveability and the ability of business to attract and retain staff, a situation confirmed by a recently completed Housing Needs Analysis.

To address the situation Council staff were tasked with investigating its land holdings to identify suitable sites to be used to meet some of the housing needs.

Councillors voted unanimously on Monday against the use of 30 Toulambi Street for social housing. “It’s exactly what we wanted - to return it to what it was,” Mr McCready said. “It’s a victory for sense and the park and for trees and for nature - everyone wins. We think it’s the right decision.”

Council will make a final decision on the issue at its Ordinary Meeting on Thursday evening.

Noosa Eat and Drink Festival shelved for 2022 In another blow to the industry, the muchloved Noosa Eat and Drink Festival has officially been cancelled for 2022.

This year, foodie’s from all around Australia will be missing out on the annual love affair of great food, drinks, live music and entertainment in Noosa.

“It is with the deepest regret that we announce today the Noosa Eat and Drink Festival will not be going ahead in 2022,” a Tourism Noosa spokesperson said.

“The festival comes together each year through the support and collaboration of our event partners, visiting talent and many businesses within the local community as well as the thousands of visitors who attend each year.

“With the ongoing challenges Covid presents and the impacts to our industry, the Festival Management and Board believe it is prudent to press pause on plans for the festival in 2022.

“We recognise this will be disappointing news to so many and look forward to providing further updates on events via noosaeatdrink.com.au”.

Bonza takes to the air.

Bonza routes out of Sunshine Coast Airport.

Bonza claim on our coast most loved destination according to the Tourism Sentiment Index.”

Speaking on the announcement, Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie said: “As Bonza sets up their backyard here on the Sunshine Coast, it will open up a range of opportunities for employment, business development, tourism growth and in re-connecting with family, friends and colleagues.

“Through our latest modelling and forecasting, and based on Bonza’s current schedule, we estimate that Bonza’s presence here on the Sunshine Coast will generate around $86million in visitor expenditure in the region in the first 12 months of flights being operational and bring an additional 367,000 seats directly into the Sunshine Coast.

“With three aircraft based here on the Sunshine Coast and the influx of travellers from new destinations, a range of direct and indirect employment opportunities will be created to support tourism and business growth.

“Bonza’s arrival on the Sunshine Coast is also in line with the airport’s $500 million expansion plans to further strengthen its role as a regional facilitator of economic growth and diversity.

“We have big plans for our airport and over the coming years we will double the size of our terminal, the Aerospace precinct will expand from 9 to 30 hectares and our Southern Gateway commercial precinct will start to take shape.

“By FY27, the developed Sunshine Coast Airport will facilitate increased visitation to tourism businesses across the state - supporting 4,000 direct and indirect jobs and $255 million in GSP. “When our development is completed, more than 1,600 jobs will be created at the airport.

“With Bonza’s route map, we will essentially see our destinations almost triple overnight.

We’re also very excited to see direct flights to popular destinations in North Queensland, NSW and Victoria – a first for the Sunshine Coast Airport.

“Sunshine Coast Airport’s increased domestic connectivity will spearhead the region’s recovery with 16 destinations connected to the Sunshine Coast when Bonza takes flight, up from three pre-COVID, boosting us from 10th to the 2nd most connected airport in Queensland.”

Mr Jordan said there would be job opportunities on the Sunshine Coast with a large proportion of roles to be based virtually all over the country.

“Bonza’s Backyard at Sunshine Coast Airport provides us with an ideal base for our virtual workforce to come together,” he said.

He said Bonza’s decision to go paperless with the launch of its own app was part of a broader focus on customer experience and

sustainability: “We encourage everyone to download the new app (Fly Bonza app from the Apple App Store) to be the first in the know as to when flights will be going on sale, fare sales, destination news and travel tips. We’re also giving people the chance to win flights via the app”.

Once all functions are added to the app in the coming weeks, it will be where Aussies can plan, book and manage their bookings. It’ll also be where travellers can check in and access their boarding passes - eliminating the need for printing unnecessarily and reducing the need to check-in at the airport. Once onboard, the retail offering, travel information and much more will be available exclusively through the app.

Bonza and Sunshine Coast Airport on Monday announced a partnership that will see Australian independent low-cost carrier call the Sunshine Coast ‘Bonza’s Backyard’.

Sunshine Coast Airport will be home to Bonza’s head office and airport base with its fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Locals and the tourism industry alike, can look forward to Bonza operating an initial 37 flights per week on 12 new routes from Sunshine Coast Airport that will directly connect the region with destinations in Queensland, Victoria and NSW. Eighty three percent of routes are new for Australian travellers and 92 per cent not currently served by a low-cost carrier “Amongst the reasons we are so excited to partner with Sunshine Coast Airport is our shared values and commitment to customers, community and sustainability,” Bonza CEO Tim Jordan said.

“The airport has been incredibly welcoming to Bonza. Their region has boomed in recent years and the people who call it home deserve more choice when it comes to holidays and reconnecting with friends and family. From Albury to the Whitsundays, Sunshine Coast locals will now be able to fly instead of impossibly long road trips as well fly direct without a stopover in a major city.

Yaroomba saved by court The Save Yaroomba campaigners and local residents are celebrating the Supreme Court decision to rescind the Planning and Environment Court’s approval of Sekisui House’s $900-million Yaroomba Beach development.

The decision means that last year’s Planning and Environment Court judgment in favour of the Sekisui high rise development has been set aside.

The matter will be remitted back to the Planning and Environment Court to reconsider.

Spokesperson Kathryn Hyman said the long wait had been anxious.

“We went to court on March 10 last year and have been waiting nearly a whole year for a decision from three esteemed Judges,” she said.

“The wait has been worth it and we want to thank the entire community for coming together for this prolonged fight which turned into a marathon rather than a sprint. It is uplifting to know that we were finally successful even though we had to overcome hurdles along the way.”

Ms Hyman said that part of this success comes from the Judges recognising that 9,000 people should not be ignored and that multiple seven-storey highrise buildings on the beachfront is not what the community wants.

“This pristine beachfront land and the laidback lifestyle of the area is so rare on the Sunshine Coast and was worth fighting for,” she said.

“The Town Plan is in place to give direction for everyone, including big developers.

“The community was brave to pursue the legal fight against its own Council and the deep pockets of development company Sekisui. We feel totally vindicated by the Qld Supreme Court.

“At the beginning of this David vs Goliath battle we would never have believed that we could raise a total of $500,000 to fund this legal battle. The majority of the community was behind us as we chipped away with small events, some Save Yaroomba merchandise and then an online campaign when the pandemic kicked in and events were no longer possible.

“At that point we were in uncharted waters but the fact that we raised half a million dol-

Marion Muntz, Kathryn Hyman, and Jason Ward at the Save Yaroomba GoFundMe campaign launch. lars is a tribute to how much the community wanted to fight this approval by its own Council. They thought it was wrong and so they supported Friends of Yaroomba, Development Watch and Sunshine Coast Environment Council.”

Sekisui House will consider its options in response to the Court of Appeal decision.

Project Director, Evan Aldridge, said the options open to Sekisui House were to continue with the process through the Planning and Environment Court, or to develop the site according to the alternative 2009 Hyatt approval for a gated residential apartment and housing estate with buildings up to four storeys.

“Given the previous approval issued by the Sunshine Coast Council in June 2018 and subsequently the Planning and Environment Court’s decision in June 2020 to uphold the approval, we are disappointed with the court’s ruling,” Mr Aldridge said.

Newly elected Friends of Yaroomba president, Jim Moore, said the adversity had brought the community together.

“There is a new vibe in the area that comes from people banding together to accomplish something big and meaningful,” he said.

“We ran a campaign that brought the issues to life for residents and visitors, including the traffic impact display that people still talk about.

“We have shown that when property developers throw money at a community that does not necessarily buy their consent or support. It was a very tough road, exhausting at times but, with so many people pulling together, we got to where we needed to go.

“It’s not just about the Save Yaroomba campaign. The Friends of Yaroomba committee lives on. We are a community building organisation, participating in Clean Up Australia Day, a very successful Coolum State School drawing competition and looking at other events that benefit the local community and continue to foster that magical community spirit,” Mr Moore said.

The Sunshine Coast Business Council (SCBC) has raised concerns that the Supreme Court decision may impact investor confidence in the region.

“Investors need surety around planning schemes, and it is therefore imperative that the Sunshine Coast has both a planning scheme and a council that supports these types of developments if we are to remain competitive in attracting investment to the region,” Sunshine

Coast Business Council chair Sandy Zubrinich said.

“The Sunshine Coast has not benefitted from a new 5-star resort development since the early 1990s, while the region’s popularity as a tourism destination continues to grow.

We are a regional economy that depends on hospitality, tourism and retail to provide entry level jobs for our youth.

“These industries would all have benefited from this development and additional delays in approvals will have an impact on jobs growth — particularly youth unemployment which continues to be an issue for our region.

“In reality, the region is in desperate need of multiple new, high-end resorts within the next decade in the lead up to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Resorts such as this bring high-yield visitors to the region as well as business events that deliver visitation mid-week, which greatly benefits a tourism industry still recovering from the impacts of the pandemic.

“We are at the beginning of another period of economic recovery where new jobs and investment is paramount, while this decision could see us lose out on a significant tourism asset and instead end up with another gated community with no access or benefit to the surrounding community.”

White elephant revived

By Phil Jarratt When the old Noosa Lakes Motel beside Lake Doonella was demolished a quarter of a century ago to make way for an ambitious resort village and conference centre, Noosa was on the cusp of a tourism explosion that would take it from seaside village to international visitor magnet.

Although for almost a decade Noosa Council had followed a controlled development line in keeping with the “village atmosphere”, the more general view amongst tourism and business boosters was that without a Gold Coaststyle conference centre we would miss out on the lucrative and fast-growing business travel market. And so in February 1997 council approved a 94-dwelling resort and “small conference centre”.

Within six months developers the Peter Kurts Group had come on board to underwrite a $23.5 million resort and conference facility.

By April 1998, when an amended Town Planning consent permit was issued, the conference facility had grown to a monolithic twostorey multi-use space to accommodate 250 delegates on one level and more than 300 on another. The permit, “for resort, indoor entertainment/function room (conference centre) and ancillary facilities”, allowed just about any indoor entertainment to operate there except a late hours nightclub. In other words, Noosa got its conference centre and the operator was given every opportunity to make it work financially.

And in its novelty phase, it worked quite well, especially after the resort and centre was badged by the Australis group. But within a handful of years it had become Noosa’s biggest white elephant. Nothing seemed to work, despite the best intentions of a string of lessees, the most recent of them being Noosa Boardroom founder Steve Lawrence in 2018.

“The Noosa Convention Centre in Tewantin was abuzz with social activity and speculation

The way it was - wide empty spaces. on Thursday evening,” wrote journalist Alan Lander. “The first Tourism Noosa Networking Night [of the year] was happening - but importantly, it was happening at the reopened conference and convention centre … which received

Picture: SUPPLIED its official blessing courtesy of Noosa MP Sandy Bolton. The centre has had a chequered few years but now under the management of Noosa entrepreneur … Steve Lawrence, its future looks dazzling. Not only will it host business conven-

tions for local and other businesses, it will star as a new venue for dinner/cabaret-style shows with live music - and further down the track a new restaurant, the Marina Bar and Grill, will open on the premises too.”

But none of this happened and the Noosa Convention Centre went back to quietly rotting by the river.

About a year ago, Keith Grisman, business entrepreneur, surf tragic and new owner of the Noosa Convention Centre, walked me through the neglected building while he talked me through his dream for it, a dream that took root when he visited one of Australia’s leading surfboard collectors. “He took me down to a climate-controlled room under the house where the most collectible surfboards you’d ever wish to see were locked away inside board bags where no one ever saw them,” Keith said.

“So as wonderful as it was to see them, I left feeling a bit hollow. I decided then and there to put mine on display. Of course, no museums make money, least of all surf museums, but maybe a combination of the uses of the space can make this one work.” (A prescient call, given that this was the exact business model of the original permit for the space.)

Keith’s own surfboard collection, now one of the largest in Australia, numbering over 1000, started as a kind of therapy when the successful young property developer got wiped out in the global financial crisis. He started buying $25 beater boards at garage sales and restoring them, and as his fortunes improved, so did the quality of his purchases, which now include some of the most sought-after and historic boards in the world.

Combining his growing property portfolio with a need to find display space for his surfboards, Keith conceived the Boarding House concept, in which historic surfboard displays became the centrepiece of shared office space “hubs” in buildings in Nambour, Mooloolaba and Caloundra, targeting casual workers in the gig economy, short term contractors and longstay tourists who needed a space to work while the family holidayed.

Says Keith: “The model was successful straight away, and it soon became obvious that none of our clients was interested in taking a lease on a conventional office. We were providing home-based or holidaying workers with a short-term solution that enabled them to mix with like-minded professionals.”

When the opportunity arose to buy the disused convention centre in Tewantin, Keith

saw a chance to create the only surf museum in Australia that would not be dependent on local, state or Federal government funding.

He also saw that including a small commercial component within the building would allow the free-entry museum, meeting rooms and extensive reading room to flourish as a community-based centre of research and creativity.

Within a month of my first visit, Keith had offered the Noosa World Surfing Reserve stewardship council free and unrestricted use of a meeting room and the research and reading room. A local mentoring group received the same largesse. As the museum opens up to the public, other surfing and marine environmental groups and schools will be able to use its resources.

After Noosa Council approved the museum application last Monday, Keith Grisman, who normally plays his cards close to his chest, was visibly emotional. He told Noosa Today: “I listened to the live streaming of the meeting, and I could tell that the councillors had not only listened to my dream, they had shared it. Now we can go forward on this together.”

River cutting close to edge Residents have raised concerns about the threat to much-used public facilities along the Noosa River foreshore on Gympie Terrace from erosion of the river bank.

One resident said one bench looked on the brink of toppling into the river and at one point the river was lapping under the walkway used by hundreds of people each day. A Noosa Council spokesman said the council was monitoring the erosion issue in the area, however at this stage, there were no approved plans for infrastructure or changes to the foreshore.

“Council is investigating potential options to develop a more detailed plan for the future,” he said.

Projects report ‘sugar coated’, says councillor

By Margie Maccoll Noosa Council’s Operational Plan Progress Report is falling far short of its intended purpose of providing an accurate snapshot of council’s current projects and rate rises may be on the cards to fund project completions, the general committee meeting heard on Monday.

Acting CEO Larry Sengstock said the “go-to” corporate plan was populated quarterly by managers and provided a “traffic light view” of council’s 76 projects, showing three had not been started, six were behind schedule and the remaining 67 were either completed or “on track” to be finished within agreed timeframes.

Cr Tom Wegener described the report as a sugar coating of progress that created an impression that everything was going along “swimmingly”.

He raised the example of the waste strat-

egy that appears in the report to be “on track”.

“It’s on track to be really, really expensive,” he said.

“My God there’s a lot that needs to be done.”

Cr Wegener said the waste strategy was on track to cost council $2.6 million in carbon credits from 2026 and cost however many millions prior to that to get emissions down.

“I would like to see more accurate reporting. We’re on track with the group that’s looking into the problem but it’s still the problem we need to look at,” he said.

Cr Joe Jurisevic raised staff turnover and the hiring of temporary project staff as a major issue in the lag in completing projects.

Mr Sengstock agreed staffing was a challenge. He said a temporary employee may be contracted for a two-year project, but after a year its inevitable they begin to look toward future employment and may leave before the

SUCCESSFUL NOOSA JUNCTION CAFE

project is completed.

“People are more mobile and looking for new roles to step up,” he said.

Cr Stockwell said it was unacceptable that projects kept being left behind.

He pointed to the community engagement strategy that was three years behind schedule and the Noosa river plan that hadn’t progressed in two years.

“I place community engagement above communications but we keep investing in communications,” he said.

“The Noosa river plan for all intent and purposes was ready for adoption in January 2020. We sought to engage sectors that weren’t engaged previously. Two years later it’s not moved one step.”

Cr Frank Wilkie said the 30 page report showed the enormous quantity of projects council had underway. He said the recording of projects as “on track” was reassuring

but understated completely the intent of the project. He gave the example of Council’s legal battle against Kin Kin Quarry’s road usage that also appear in the report to be “on track” but has still to go through the Planning and Environment court. “It understates the enormity of the process,” he said.

“We are a relatively small council. We’re about to go into the budget process. If we’re serious about them we’d be serious about allocating more resources if we want to complete them,” he said.

“If we want more done we need more resources. Can we afford it?” Mr Sengstock said.

Cr Wegener said council was in a good position to make money through developments and fees but there were some “really big expenses” on the horizon.

“It’s our job to say when rates might be going up and brace (property owners) for that,” he said.

Barons here for surf fest

By Phil Jarratt

Barons headliners on set. Ben O’Toole (left), Sean Keenan (centre). best friends turned bitter rivals going headto-head to build their surf empires, alongside Jillian Nguyen (Clickbait) as Trotter’s wife and business partner. Joining them are Hunter Page-Lochard (Fires), George Pullar (Fighting Season), Lincoln Younes (Grand Hotel), Sophia Forrest (Ride Like a Girl), Vivienne Awosoga (Wentworth), Nicholas Burton (Pieces of Her), Karina Banno (Reckoning), newcomer Megan MacKenzie, Kick Gurry (Edge of Tomorrow), Catherine Van-Davies (Hungry Ghosts), Alexander England (Offspring) and British-American actor Ione Skye (Arrested Development).

To screen sneak previews of the series, and to talk about the crazy Covid-plagued adventure of filming Barons, producers Michael Lawrence, John Molloy and Nick Cook, plus key cast members will be in attendance.

While Barons uses dramatic recreation to tell its story, the second half of Everything Old Is New Again reverses gears as producer Jolyon

MEN’S

12536170-CG07-22

Barons are coming! But they won’t be wearing chain mail or riding steeds, nor will they be wheeling barrows of stolen cash or towing boatloads of drugs.

The “barons” of the ABC-TV drama series of the same name, about to hit our screens in prime time all over Australia in April, are the barons of the multi-billion dollar surf industry.

In fact, at one stage of its long journey from pitch to post-production, the series was to be called Barons in Boardshorts, which made it a bit simpler, but maybe less compelling.

Members of the exciting young ensemble cast of Barons plus the producers will be taking part in one of the many off-beach entertainments of the Noosa Festival of Surfing, a free family show at the Noosa Surf Museum called “Everything Old Is New Again”, an evening of surf film nostalgia.

The first part will preview Barons, just weeks away from its national release. Inspired by the birth and boom of the surfboard and surfwear industry in the early 1970s, Barons fictionalizes those rollicking years when global powerhouses like Quiksilver, Rip Curl and Billabong were backyard and boot-strapped operations started by surfers who didn’t want to get a real job.

Lovingly brought to life by a brilliant cast and crew, the eight-episode, multi-million dollar first series of Barons tracks the highs and lows, the fights and friendships as rival surf companies struggle to succeed. The incredible surfing sequences, shot by award-winning Taylor Steele, feature authentic early ‘70s surfboards on loan from the Noosa Surf Museum, Australia’s largest private surfboard collection.

Many of the boards used in the making of the series will be on display at the show.

Headlining the Barons cast are Sean Keenan (Puberty Blues, Glitch) as “Trotter” and Ben O’Toole (Halifax: Retribution) as “Snapper”,

Producers John Molloy (left) and Michael Lawrence.

Hoff and his crew explain the incredible work of the Australian Surf Film Archive in finding and restoring long-lost footage from the early days of surf film. Hoff and his team have been searching the country for the past year or two, uncovering hidden gems, some of which reveal a who’s who of Australian surfing history.

“We’ve got Midget Farrelly narrating a Phil Sheppard film from 1972 that starts in South Australia and crosses the country to Lennox Head,” said Jolyon. “Then we found amazing clips of Rabbit Bartholomew, Shaun Tomson and Peter Townend – who all went on to become world champions - ripping on these beautiful single-fin boards in classic Burleigh barrels, mid-‘70s.”

Jolyon said the idea for the Archive formed after we was invited to view the film library of pioneering surf photographer and filmmaker Dick Hoole. “Dick invited me down into his basement where he has shelf upon shelf of film

cans stacked to the rafters. I thought, this is Australia’s surfing heritage right here, it needs to made public for all to share. This is such an important part of our history.”

Jolyon will present five classic restored clips on the night, as well as a behind-the-scenes short documentary explaining the restoration process. Several pioneer film-makers are expected to attend.

The evening will also see the launch of Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s “Friends Of” supporter package, offering locals and visitors the opportunity to become a vital part of the 10th World Surfing Reserve and its many safety, sustainability and education programs.

Everything Old Is New Again, presented by Noosa World Surfing Reserve and the Noosa Surf Museum, is a free entertainment as part of the Noosa Festival of Surfing. Doors open 6pm at Noosa Surf Museum, Noosa Lakes Resort, Hilton Terrace, Tewantin.

Valentine’s tragedy

Vehicle flips at Noosa North Shore

By Abbey Cannan

Fatal traffic crash in Woombye

Valentine’s Day has ended in tragedy on the Sunshine Coast after a woman was found dead and covered in blood in a hotel room at Pelican Waters Resort.

Sunshine Coast detectives have charged a man with murder following investigations into the death of the 46-year-old Burpengary woman on 14 February.

Police will allege that around 3.35pm staff from the Mahogany Drive resort attended the room that the man and woman were staying in to conduct a welfare check.

“They had a social function down there on the weekend, where a number of people were staying at the unit,” Detective Inspector Dave Drinnen told media at Caloundra Police Station on Tuesday morning.

“They were due to book out in the morning so they (resort staff) did a welfare check in relation to one of the rooms. When they undertook that they found a female deceased on the bed in the room and there was another unconscious male in the room “The Queensland Ambulance Service arrived and at that stage he was conscious and was able to speak with QAS.” Detective Inspector Drinnen said it was a very tragic incident for every person who attended the scene.

“It was physically obvious that she was deceased. She was covered in blood and there were also some wounds on her arms,” he said.

Police were notified and attended soon after arresting the man at the scene.

A 50-year-old Bli Bli man, Jeffrey James Godfrey, was charged on Tuesday 15 February with murder (domestic violence offence).

Detective Inspector Drinnen said the couple, who have ties to the Sunshine Coast, were known to police but had minimal dealings with the pair.

“We will be alleging that they were involved

Paramedics transported two men in a stable condition to Sunshine Coast University Hospital after single-vehicle roll over on the beach off Teewah Beach Road at 8.50pm on Friday 11 February.

A Palmwoods man has died following a serious traffic crash which occurred on February 1 in Woombye.

At 11.20am, a heavy vehicle transporting an excavator lost control on Blackall Range Dulong Rd and rolled before coming to a halt on a grassed verge.

The 25-year-old male driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was airlifted to Brisbane for treatment to life-threatening-injuries where he subsequently died on February 9.

The Forensic Crash Unit is continuing their investigations.

A woman was tragically found dead in a hotel room at Pelican Waters Resort. in an intimate relationship,” he said.

“We’ve identified a number of people that are speaking with police which will help us piece together the lead up to this tragic event.

“We’ll have an autopsy which will not only give us the cause of death but will allow us understand as to how that death was caused which is going to assist us with the investigation.

“All I can say at this time is we suspect that there was some sort of weapon used to make those wounds.”

It’s just another tragic loss of life, Detective Inspector Drinnen said.

“It’s a tragedy that it has occurred on the Sunshine Coast here. We have a woman who has lost a life, we have a male person who is now being charged in relation to murder.

There’s going to be a lot of mourning. There

needs to be support built around all family members in relation to this.”

Detective Inspector Drinnen said a large portion of Pelican Waters Resort was still open to the public, with a section being secured by police.

Jeffrey Godfrey’s matter was mentioned in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning and has been remanded in custody until 6 May. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic and family violence, you should report it to police.

River speed review

Unitywater is cleaning and inspecting Noosa’s sewerage pipes following all the extra flushes over the holiday period.

These important maintenance works will occur on Hastings St, Noosa Drive and Park Road from Monday 14 to Thursday 17 February.

Visitors and motorists can expect some traffic delays between 6am and 6pm as Unitywater crews carry out pressure-cleaning and CCTV inspection of the sewer mains, one section at a time.

Unitywater Executive Manager Customer Delivery Rhett Duncan said this preventative maintenance was important to maintain Noosa’s sewers.

“As a high-profile tourist destination, we want to ensure that our sewerage network is in top operating condition for the peak times during the year,” Mr Duncan said.

“These works will help avoid odours and the potential for sewage overflows.

We have consulted with various stakeholders and Noosa Council to carry out the works at the least disruptive time for visitors and businesses.

“We thank the local community for their understanding and apologise for any inconvenience as we carry out these works.”

Crews will be adhering to covid guidelines and taking precautions to help protect them and the community.

Noosa River ing to inform MSQ’s management of the river.”

Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee (NRSAC) chairman Nick Hluszko said there was a clear need for reducing speed in the location.

“Increased compliance checking by MSQ and Queensland Water Police over the 2021-22 seasonal holiday peak confirms that the majority of offences are speed related,” Cr Hluszko said.

“The NRSAC believes that if adopted, these speed reductions will markedly reduce the risk of serious injury to river users as well as make a direct contribution to a positive river

experience by all.”

Mr Dillon said consultation would run for 30 days until 16 March 2022.

Maritime Safety Queensland has written to key stakeholders seeking feedback on the proposal, while interested people can email MSQNoosa@tmr.qld.gov.au MSQ has also completed consultation on speed limits on Pumicestone Passage’s northern reaches.

The proposal to establish a 20-knot zone extending from Military Jetty to Minchinton Street, Caloundra and a six-knot zone in the lower reach of Bells Creek is now under review.

Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) is seeking public feedback on a proposal to reduce speed limits on the Noosa River’s busy downstream reaches.

Maritime Safety Queensland General Manager Kell Dillon said a permanent, six-knot zone limit was proposed from Thomas Street to the mouth of the river.

“The river is extremely popular with families, non-motorised craft, speed boats, jet skis and moored craft, and this plan is to make the Noosa River safer for all who use it,” Mr Dillon said.

“We are acting on community concerns current speed limits are not safe for all users and are difficult to enforce.

“There have been complaints over nearmisses and fears for the safety of swimmers and children close to speeding craft.

“In past years, a temporary, six-knot speed limit has been set during peak holiday times from Weyba Creek to the river mouth which improved safety.

“The new proposal will make this permanent and extend the six-knot zone upstream to the Thomas Street boat ramp.

“However no final decisions will be made until the broader community has had its say and I encourage those who have a view to get involved.”

Speeding is one of the boating’s fatal five which includes failing to keeping a proper lookout, not carrying proper safety equipment, drink and drugs and poor trip planning.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart welcomed MSQ’s focus on improving safety for Noosa River users.

“The work MSQ is doing will ensure the river is safe for everyone to enjoy, and that our community is consulted on the improvements put in place,” Cr Stewart said.

Team work at it’s best

By Ron Lane On Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, a total of 12 rescues were performed in what senior lifeguard Adam McKane described as a good team effort by local lifeguards and lifesavers; all rescues were at West Beach and Rock Wall. The first and most difficult occurred at approximately 3pm Saturday when a 13-yearold was swept out in a bad rip on the west side of the Rock Wall. A 15-year-old boy on a boogie board immediately went to his aid, but big surf knocked both off the board resulting in both being caught in a gutter 1m from the front of the Rock Wall.

Lifeguard on duty in the tower called for the wave runner and on arrival he was able to back- up to the end of the wall. The driver was able to hold his position, thus enabling the swimmers who by then, were being hammered by 1and 2 m waves, to get hold of the rescue mat. Moving out to sea the driver was able to turn about and return both youth to the beach.

It was a good rescue as both lads at the end of the wall were definitely in a bad situation. If caught by a big set serious injuries could have occurred. The duty lifeguard had left the tower after seeing the lads swept on to the rocks: if this prevented the wave runner getting closer it would have been necessary for the lifeguard to perform a tube rescue and drag the swimmers away from the wall. However all went well and the lifeguard was not required to do the swim.

On the Sunday the rescues were performed by rescue board patrol and in many cases by the tube. A spokesman for the lifeguards said, “It was actually a good week end. The young lifesavers were able to see how easy the rescues were carried out: under the lifeguard supervision the rookie clubbies worked well. It was definitely a great example of teamwork between the guards and the clubbies. In particular when you consider that a lot of work was close to the rocks.”

Lifesavers keeping watch.

For the First Aid and Champion Lifesaver competition teams it was Noosas’ weekend to travel to Bundaberg for the Queensland Laerdal Championships. Performing in their grade divisions from U/15 to the Opens, in the First Aid Noosa came home with 1 gold medal and 4 silver. In the U/19 it was a double result; with 2 teams competing they won the gold and the silver medals. The other 3 silver medals were won in the U/15,U/17 and the open.

In the Champion Lifesaver Noosa came home with 3 medals: 1 gold 1 silver and 1 bronze; and once again they performed a double when in the U/17 Male with 2 teams competing they won a silver and a bronze.

First Aid teams patrol the beach. in 4th place overall with Northcliffe Maroochydore and Dickey Beach taking the top honors.

This weekend will see the biggest surf boat carnival of the season in Australia when 439 crews assemble at Elouera Beach Southern Shire in Sydney. It is now bigger than the Australian Titles; however, with the Aussies having been on the calendar for many years they still have the prestige of being number one.

The carnival will be run over 4 days: Masters on Thursday, Reserves and U/23S,will row am.

Friday with the Interstate Carnival in the afternoon. Saturday will see the U/19s to Opens and Sunday will be the finals. Weather forecast states, surf will vary from 1m-5.m but that can change over- night.

For Noosa we will be represented by 5 crews: 2 Junior U/19 Female, 1 Reserve Grade Women’s crew and 2 Masters. The crews will be under the control of sweep’s Mick Gardner and Stewie Cooper. For Stewie who has now been sweeping with us for three years it will certainly be a carnival to remember.

Prior to this Stewie, who hails from England was sweeping boats in Cornwall but now after three years with Noosa all is going well. For the women’s reserves, it will be a big trip to compete for their club, as they hail from Yeppoon: they fly from Rockhampton to Brisbane then from Brisbane to Sydney. Their loyalty and dedication is what club legends are made of.

Peregian club stands alone Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club will again become an independent entity from the 2022/23 season and a new Supporter’s Club committee has been established, it was announced at the Peregian Family and Friends general meeting on Sunday.

Among guests at the meeting were Sunshine Coast Regional Council Division 9 councillor Maria Suarez and Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club future chair John Roderick.

Peregian Family and Friends president Leigh McCready said the organisation, which she founded in 2017 prior to its merger with Peregian Springs Residents Association, was the only residents association spanning both shires and electoral boundaries, with its most important achievement so far being the revival of the Peregian Beach Surf Club.

“Today we’ve reached several important milestones, with a new Supporter’s Club and committee established, a 10 year lease negotiation with Noosa Council commenced and confirmation that from the 22/23 season, the Peregian Surf Club will be an independent entity once again after eight years,” she said.

“Peregian Beach is the closest beach for around 15,000 people across Peregian, with a population big enough to support all the requirements of our local surf club - around 120 lifesaving volunteers, a thriving nipper program which educates children from across the whole area and a stable income stream.

“In 2021, Peregian Family and Friends raised substantial funds for the Peregian Beach Surf Club, both for current operational needs as well as to rebuild the clubhouse in the future, as it is currently not fit for purpose.

The recent storm activity is certainly having an impact on Noosa Council’s tree clean up across the shire.

Storms impact council’s tree clean up timetable The recent storm activity is certainly having an impact on Noosa Council’s tree clean up across the shire.

Current challenges with Covid are also contributing to the clean up process.

Communications Manager Ken Furdek said Council is working to get through the backlog.

“Our crews have received a large volume of reports about trees or branches needing attention and we are getting through the backlog as quickly as we can,” he said.

If you have reported it to Council via customer service or Send Snap Solve, we have your request in our system and are getting through the backlog given current staffing challenges due to Covid.”

Council advise that if you see tree branches placed on the side of a road or pathway, these are stockpiled for removal and already in our system.

Mr Furdek said we appreciate the community’s patience as our crews work through this clean up across the shire.

John Roderick, Leigh McCready and Noosa Surf Life Saving Club president Ross Fisher.

“At our meeting this week, future Chairperson John Roderick announced the appointment of the new Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Supporters Club committee, which is tasked with developing sustainable income streams for the new Surf Club.”

“Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club and the future Peregian Beach SLSC committee will work together with Surf Life Saving Queensland to ensure the new Club has the support it needs to be a success in its early days and months of operation.

“There are plans to launch a social membership, to bring income earned from the markets into the new Supporter’s Club entity and for lifesavers to potentially enjoy dual membership with the Noosa Surf Club.”

Councillor Maria Suarez also told the meeting she had made inquiries with Translink into bus services linking Peregian Springs and Peregian Breeze but was advised there were no plans in place for future bus services in the area.

More tourists to arrive The Queensland Government is joining forces with Sunshine Coast Airport and other international airports across Queensland to invest $200 million in the state’s international reopening.

The nation-leading agreement sees the government partnering with Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Cairns Airports to attract more overseas flights to Queensland.

Queensland Treasurer and Minister for Trade and Investment Cameron Dick said this was another crucial part of Queensland’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan.

“More flights. More tourists. More tourism dollars. More jobs. That’s what today’s announcement means for regions like the Sunshine Coast,” Mr Dick said.

“This partnership will see our government working with Queensland’s major airports to secure more flights and new overseas routes so we can continue building back better.

“Best of all, our investment is going to safeguard employment across the aviation and tourism sectors.

“It will benefit our airline workers, airport staff, tourism operators, accommodation providers and small businesses.

“This partnership has been made possible through the support of our airports like the Sunshine Coast, and I thank them for working collaboratively with us,” he said.

“For the Sunshine Coast, the New Zealand market holds huge potential, and we want to welcome more of our Kiwi friends to this region.

“Combined with our ‘Days Like This’ tourism campaign announced earlier this week, this $200 million aviation funding boost will ensure brighter days are ahead for the Sunshine State.

“Queensland is a welcoming state, and we want to welcome more international tourists from every corner of the globe.”

Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Matt Stoeckel, Cairns Airport’s Garry Porter, Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe, Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson and Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie at Marcoola.

The investment is split between government and the private sector, with $100 million through the State Government’s Attracting Aviation Investment Fund and $100 million from Queensland’s major airports and regional tourism organisations.

It’s expected to deliver more than 5.3 million airline seats per year, generating almost $4 billion.

Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie thanked the Queensland Government, saying the announcement is great news for Sunshine Coast Airport and the region more broadly.

“Investment by the Queensland Government in our airport will create jobs for generations to come and provide a much-needed boost to our tourism industry as a result of increased visitation,” Mr Brodie said.

“Direct international aviation connections allow our region to capitalise on business and tourism opportunities.

“We know international visitors stay longer and spend more, and share their experiences with friends and family, which is key to repeat visitation.”

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson welcomed the commitment by the Queensland Government to support growth in international flights into the Sunshine Coast Airport, with its new international runway delivered as part of council’s $334 million Airport Expansion Project.

“Coupled with our direct international gateway, this fund will enable the Sunshine Coast to grow its international visitor market and showcase our spectacular region to a global audience in the 10 years leading up to

the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” Mayor Jamieson said.

“More importantly, however, growing our international visitor markets means jobs for our residents and new supply chain opportunities for our local businesses.”

Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Matt Stoeckel said international markets are critical for the Sunshine Coast as visitors stay longer and spend more in the region.

“Prior to Covid-19, international travellers represented more than 11 per cent of our market and contributed $285 million to the economy,” Mr Stoeckel said.

“We believe we have the potential to strongly rebuild these markets, with our nature-based tourism offering being what international travellers are likely to be seeking for their next holiday.”

Agency rates among best In the RateMyAgent 2022 Agent of the Year Awards, Tom Offermann Real Estate has once again dominated with wins in the Agency of the Year for the major location categories of Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Sunshine Beach and Marcus Beach.

Replicating last year’s success as Agents of the Year were Rebekah Offermann for Sunshine Beach and Tracy Russell for Marcus Beach.

In its seventh year, the RateMyAgent Real Estate Awards are the largest in Australia and the only major customer choice awards for the real estate industry.

Rather than being judged by industry peers, the calculation is based on verified reviews and feedback provided by customers on the RateMyAgent website.

It is used by agents who sell 80 percent of all property in Australia, while high-performing agents are determined by real reviews from those who have bought or sold a property with the agent.

Tom Offermann Real Estate has been a consistent and major driving force in the Noosa property market for more than 30 years, and the principal Tom Offermann is thrilled with the acknowledgment.

“We’re delighted with the award of top agency in four key locations of the Noosa area,” he said, “especially as the awards are a true gauge of customer service provided by an agent, and recognise the team’s hard work, diligence and absolute dedication to vendors and purchasers across all price points.

“The culture of cooperation in our office is one of our greatest strengths, and it’s a comment often expressed by our clients.

“We do make a difference every step of the real estate way and it’s fair to say we have the coast well and truly covered.”

Parkridge ends project with charity drive and thanks More than 70 staff, suppliers and contractors of Altum Property Group’s $220 million Parkridge Noosa mixed use residential project recently gathered at Peter Kuruvita’s new restaurant Alba to celebrate to conclusion of the project and the big winner was local charity The Board Meeting.

Altum Property Group directors Rob McCready and Alex Rigby hosted the lunch to thank those who helped make Parkridge Noosa such a stunning success.

“We are really proud of the project, it’s a landmark development for Noosa and it has exceeded all of our expectations from a design and construction point of view. Best of all, the vast majority of our suppliers are local businesses which not only highlights the quality of our local workforce but also ensures money stays within our economy.

“We also understand the importance of supporting those in our community who need assistance and we formed a great relationship with Mark and Bev Skinner from The Board Meeting Charity who do incredible work helping to support local people with a disability.

“We had some amazing auction items including wine and gifts as well as a private dining experience from Peter Kuruvita and a stunning portrait of Layne Beachley and we were thrilled to raise over $24,000 at the lunch to support the great work of The Board Meeting,” Alex said.

The Board Meeting Surf Charity Committee Chairman Mark Skinner said he was thrilled to have the on-going support of Altum Property Group and the funds raised from the lunch would help support local children and their families with disabilities.

“Over the last twelve months our charity has managed to raise $265,000 to help 220 local families right here on the Sunshine Coast, best of all every cent raised is directed to help these families and that is really reassuring for those people who support us in the work we do.

“We’ve built a great relationship with Alex and Rob and the Altum team over the past few years and we look forward to continuing to work together in the future,” Mark said.

‘Pawsome’ friendships PTSD Dogs, now based near Cooroy, urgently need volunteers to provide this service to Veterans and First Responders, living with PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as a result of their service to our community.

Receiving an Assistance Dog can be utterly life-changing and in some cases, even lifesaving.

Their Assistance Dogs are provided at no charge to their clients (handlers), who have given a lifetime of service in their field, plus they supply lifetime support to each PTSD Assistance Dog and their handler.

This organization is almost entirely run on a volunteer basis and relies solely on grants, sponsorships, and donations to operate and right now, they are calling for anyone interested in helping to contact them.

The dogs they rescue find themselves abandoned and homeless placed into uninviting cold metal cages and kept in foreign environments that are noisy, scary and completely unfamiliar to any home environment.

Through no fault of their own, or unfortunate circumstances, these often once well-loved and often well-trained dogs, find themselves on death row and in pounds and shelters, hoping and needing a second chance at life.

Dogs, experience similar emotions to us humans, including fear, frustration, anxiety, joy, love, trust and respect.

PTSD Dogs Australia have been on the ground since 2018, rescuing dogs directly from death row pounds and shelters, and are leading the way in training rescue dogs to become Psychiatric PTSD Assistance Dogs, instead of

A Noosa teacher has been celebrated and praised for his dedication while receiving a National Excellence in Teaching Award (NEiTA).

The award has been presented to teacher Chris Mundey, who has been a member of the Good Shepherd College community since 2020.

Good Shepherd principal Anthony Dyer said, “At Good Shepherd we strive to make a difference, help and motivate students to thrive in varied and innovative ways.”

“We understand that while education changes lives, it is our teachers, such as Chris Mundey, who can transform students’ futures.”

The National Excellence in Teaching Award, the only nationwide teaching award in Australia and New Zealand, is a community centred awards program to honour exemplary teachers in Australia and New Zealand. Twelve primary and secondary school teachers are selected in Australia, and four in New Zealand.

Mr Mundey was successful against thousands of other teachers and received an Apple Award, which acknowledges outstanding teachers who’ve gone above and beyond for their students. Winners also receive a $5,000 professional development grant.

The local teacher said his nomination came as a huge surprise.

“I had to submit answers to five questions, conduct an online formal interview and then just wait,” he said.

“I was really honoured to receive the award.

“It was a wonderful acknowledgement of the importance of teachers and the direct influence we have on the lives of our students, especially considering the unprecedented times we are still going through.”

The NEiTA judging panel commented that, “the challenges of the pandemic have pulled the curtain back and the reality of the depth, difficulty and complexity of teachers’ work exposed. So, this year, this celebration and recognition is even more important.”

The panel confirmed that “this year’s winners have each shown great passion for education and an ability to enthuse others.

It’s not only the students who benefit, their colleagues and the entire school community do too.”

With the current school year off to a good start, it’s hoped that the path forward will have fewer hurdles to jump over than in the past couple of years and students can enjoy the high-quality education that they deserve.

More than just about gardening and plants, this beloved Aussie stalwart is blooming with a cast of passionate presenters who obviously live and breathe flora and fauna. After a summer break, Gardening Australia returns, and it’s a celebration of the New Year. Lovable host Costa Georgiadis (pictured) discovers a plant-swapping scheme and Jerry Coleby-Williams shows how to grow, harvest and roast your own coffee. Sophie Thomson demonstrates how a small-city home can be bursting with life.

MASTERMIND AUSTRALIA SBS, Monday, 6pm

Mastermind is the sort of show that makes you smarter; how many TV series can boast about enlightening the population? This week, the fourth season premieres, and host Marc Fennell (pictured) promises the questions he flings onto the contestants will be harder and more headscratching than ever. “This year, the contenders are sharper, the topics are wilder, and the questions are harder,” warns Fennell. Buckle up for the ride down the rabbit hole of information.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? UK SBS, Tuesday, 7.30pm

Many believe no one can top Grand Designs’ Kevin McCloud. The host and writer of the incredibly long-running British series, following people building their version of the dream home, has just clocked up 22 seasons. McCloud lives and breathes design, and has a charmingly arrogant persona to boot. It’s the sixth season of this NZ offshoot GRAND DESIGNS premiering tonight, and host Chris Moller embodies a laidback, inquisitive attitude, NEW ZEALAND with his series boasting some of the most amazing designs; just quietly, he gives ABC TV, McCloud a run for his money. In this episode, an ambitious couple knock down their Sunday, 7.40pm Piha beach hut to build something grand, but you can bet it won’t be easy.

But will his family forebears prove as alluring? Walliams’ ancestors prove to have interesting and moving stories. Walliams uncovers his paternal great grandfather’s traumatic experience on the battlefields of World War I.

The future of the Kabi Kabi – back on country working with Landcare. Picture: ROB MACCOLL

Author John Mikkelsen. expected new career in journalism on life’s long and winding road.

Some chapters recount actual history, unsolved mysteries, hurdles and hairraising escapades encountered as a young editor: Tangling with the far right League of Rights in Joh Bjelke-Petersen’s home town of Kingaroy, then coping with activist unions in the harbour city of Gladstone where he is regarded as a “Joh plant” in their midst.

Life after journalism has finally led back to the beautiful Sunshine Coast where he now lives. Quirky humour and some laugh out loud moments mixed with drama and adventure make it an M-rated tale for all, with a uniquely Aussie theme.

One chapter recounts mistaking the former Sunshine Coast Regional Council’s larger than life Mayor Bob Abbot as a cabbie one dark and rainy winter’s night outside Parliament House in Canberra. Bob sets him straight with, “Nah, mate, the cabbie’s back in the cab!” (Probably muttering “wanker” under his bearded breath).

The book is now available in both paperback and E-book formats from Amazon book store, with online orders arriving within days.

This comprehensive history of Noosa comes straight from the heart of award-winning writer Phil Jarratt who has lived here for more than 30 years. In many ways it is a love letter to his adopted home, but the Noosa story is not always a pretty one, and Phil does not flinch from the harsh realities of the cruelties inflicted on the Kabi Kabi First Nation, nor from the unscrupulous development deals of the Joh era. But this is a history filled with admiration for the fighters of the past, and hope for the future.

At Friday Environment Forum on 25 February, Phil’s presentation will begin with the screening of a documentary video about the book, followed by a two-part talk. The first part addresses Noosa’s battle against over-development generally, and the role of the Noosa Parks Association specifically. The second part looks at how we have treated the Kabi Kabi First Nation over 150 years since settlement, and what we can do for the future.

Come along to the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville where the forum starts at 10.30am and coffee is available at 10am. COVID-19 protocols will be in place and attendees need to be double vaccinated and wear masks. Pre-registration is required.

Fed up with the daily news cycle of doom related to Covid, climate change, international and domestic politics, sex scandals, Russian or Chinese aggression?

Noosa author John Mikkelsen has just the answer for you. His new book, Don’t Call Me Nev provides an often amusing and exciting insight into an Australia we once knew and loved, but is in danger of being forgotten in an ever-changing modern world.

Don’t Call me Nev begins with the adventures of a boy growing up in the North Queensland bush with a dog, an air rifle and a pet cockatoo.

Early chapters recall shooting pigeons from the walls of one of the state’s major gaols, almost drowning in a flooded creek, being stung by a bullrout or freshwater stonefish, exploring a sinister hidden cave, surviving a cyclone, and attending a primary school where pupils learnt to cope with a sudden influx of migrant children who couldn’t speak English. He also learns how to catch mudcrabs without setting a pot, after a chance encounter with an indigenous man willing to pass on his skills in a remote location.

Moving back to his old hometown of Bundaberg brings its own problems in having to deal with a bullying teacher, teen romance and misadventures. He quits to begin a successful pharmacy apprenticeship (one of the last in Queensland), eventually meets his soulmate on a blind date, but tosses all that in to head off on a spearfishing road trip adventure around Australia with a vagabond young Victorian.

Not all goes smoothly. One chapter recalls an angry encounter with a two metre shark while diving alone in a big swell off the NSW Sapphire Coast.

Fate awaits as the road trip leads back to new horizons, new adventures and an un-

Strata solar: A new era

By Meghan Halverson, ZEN Community Engagement As well as obviously being environmentally rewarding, did you know that strata solar can be economically rewarding too?

One of the greatest barriers to solar uptake by strata (or body corporate) properties to date has been the cost. However owners at Noosa Lakes have learned firsthand that when the sun shines on our shire, their investment pays off.

Believed to be the state’s largest solar installation in a strata-titled development, this 550kW project is a model that can be followed delivering financial as well as sustainable benefits.

On the back of the success of the solar revenue project at Noosa Lakes, project leader Ian Wright confirmed, “Our owners are making money while the sun shines. Not only has the resort become more environmentally sustainable but so has the budget. We’d love other body corps to learn about and adopt the solar model at Noosa Lakes at their properties”.

Ian will be leading the Zero Emissions Noosa hosted “Solar for Strata: A New Era” event at The J theatre, Noosa on 1 March 2022 from 8:30am-10:00am. He, and other experts, will walk you through the steps it takes for properties to follow the revenue positive model that has led to the success of the Noosa Lakes Resort solar project. Visit: zeroemissionsnoosa. com.au to register for this Noosa Council funded industry event.

Further, funded by a recent Noosa Council Community, Environment and Climate Change Grant, Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) is

Ryan Rae, Cr Brian Stockwell and Ian Wright at Noosa Lakes.

Roof installers at Noosa Lakes. launching a pilot program for eight lucky bodies corporate. The lucky eight will benefit from invaluable insights into the new “revenue” era in Solar Strata. From hands-on learning and contributing, as well as being a part of educational case studies for the wider community, ZEN will help the lucky eight determine the feasibility of a solar revenue solution for their owners. With impartial advice from The Solar Revenue Company this will help to help meet their specific goals, at no cost.

“Hopefully this will be the start of a rolling uptake of solar by body corps throughout Noosa and beyond”, Ian enthused. “Imagine if we could get all the resorts and other buildings on the Sunshine Coast covered in solar panels.

Think of the contribution that would make to Noosa’s “zero net emissions by 2026” goal!”

Pictures: SUPPLIED Tourism Noosa sustainability chief Juanita Terry-Bloomfield said: “We feel it is an extremely important time for strata properties and resorts to look at the many ways in which they can save their body corporate owners money as well as assisting Noosa as a community, in trying to achieve zero net emissions for Noosa by 2026. Zero Emissions Noosa, Noosa Council and Tourism Noosa have partnered to bring this masterclass to our tourism businesses on ‘Solar for Strata’.”

Councillor Brian Stockwell believes that the model is widely applicable across not only the tourism accommodation sector but many other strata titled properties in Noosa. ZEN is seeking nominations across a broad selection of body corporate properties, not just resorts.

So, if you wish your body corporate to be one

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

Mayor reflects on times Less than two years in, I am incredibly proud of what we, as a council, have achieved. There is still much to be done and all councillors strive to continue to work with and for the community.

Considering the challenges we have faced no one could have ever predicted a global pandemic and all the implications that it has had on our community, our businesses, our Council and our Shire - we have worked tirelessly to support local businesses, residents and community groups; protect our environment; maintain and enhance our beloved Noosa lifestyle through forward-thinking planning, infrastructure and capital works; partner with the tourism industry for a sustainable future; and provide transparency through community engagement and consultation to provide a viable future direction for Noosa.

Small businesses are very much the lifeblood of this Shire, and we have over 7000 of them. The majority are run by one to three people - our residents. Therefore, it is not helpful to have a business verse resident approach as they are one and the same.

We have increased support to our business community through our business round table where we hear directly from businesses what they need and then can advocate.

One of several positive outcomes includes being able to advocate with the Treasurer for COVID-19 cleaning rebates and partnering with Response Global, a pandemic specialist, to deliver our businesses and community with RATs. Through the formation of another round table, we also continue to support the community regarding the Kin Kin Quarry and advocacy and support of the community through legal challenges to the quarry.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Council and the University of the Sunshine Coast will pave the way for new education, research and on-the-job training opportunities.

Similarly, our rejoining of the SEQ Council of Mayors has allowed us to be a stronger voice for our Shire. To have a voice we need to sit at the table and this presents an opportunity to be involved in among other things, SEQ Regional waste management reform, resilient rivers initiative and advocation for our Shire in opportunities that will present themselves in the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

We have put a focus on delivering tangible outcomes for our community, providing “grassroots” style projects that will make a difference in the lives of our residents.

Of our $153 million budget, we have a capital infrastructure programme to deliver over $54 million in grassroots spending to our community. This money is being spent where our community needs it most to provide a raft of new initiatives in support of the community.

Our role, our job is to help where we can. So many of our community groups - and there are over 300 in this Shire - do much of the ‘heavy lifting’ in helping our vulnerable, our at-risk, our juniors, our seniors, our workers, our sportspeople, our elderly and so on.

A record $1 million was given to community groups, in the last budget. It is a privilege to stand with them and behind them and support them with the wonderful community works they do.

A new initiative that we implemented this year, and one which I am particularly proud of, is that we have waived the three-year waiting period for new pensioner concession applications. This means if you are a pensioner and you turn up in this town, you do not need to wait three years to be eligible for a concession on your rates. This initiative helps our elderly, and we are all proud of it.

I stood on an election platform of increased fire management, increased mitigation and increased preparedness and we have increased our fire management budget by 100%.

A very important issue for our community, an additional $300k has been allocated for fire management and mitigation. We have also 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 February, 2022

Mayor Clare Stewart. doubled our cool fire burns to seven planned burns a year, widening almost two kilometres of existing fire trails around our Bushland Reserves and creating two kilometres of brandnew fire trails.

To assist us and provide recommendations regarding the safety and environmental protection of our river, we have developed and implemented the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Group.

We have also ratified our Climate Change Adaptation Plan.

Better roads, better footpaths, better cycleways, Council’s goal is to boldly increase infrastructure, facilities and resources for our community with substantial projects we were asked to do - and we have acted on.

Projects underway such as Stage 1 of Tewantin Bypass, upgrading the busy intersec-

tion of Doonella Street and Memorial Avenue at Tewantin to boost capacity for the future, replacing seven bridges across the Shire, finishing the Hinterland Playground, upgrading the Pomona section of the Noosa Trail Network, complete the new Peregian Beach Community House, road resurfacing and gravel road resheeting of several roads and fill the missing links in our footpath network across the Shire.

Noosa is regarded by many as a tourist town.

In fact, we’re officially the best in Queensland.

It is still seen nationally as the relaxed place of choice for an environment type resort-style travel.

Many residents’ livelihoods depend on tourism, the ability to run a business, to pay kids’ school fees. No tourism means no businesses, no workers and no community.

We have committed $2.52 million in fund-

ing to Tourism Noosa but we are also aware that houses, which are solely or predominantly for the purpose of hosting short term visitors impact our community.

Therefore, this Council has now ratified our Short Stay Letting Local Law, a law that has been in development for a number of years.

With visitors comes traffic and the current infrastructure is hard to work with. Council’s free buses initiative provides an alternative for residents and visitors moving around the Shire during peak holiday periods and we are about to trial free weekend buses, which is a first for Queensland.

Although our capital infrastructure is at an all-time high we are still having to deal with a Shire that is challenged by a lack of historical planning because no one could have anticipated Noosa would become the destination it is.

No paid parking has been introduced. Before any such measures were introduced, our Council would seek community consultation just like any other major project undertaken.

To ensure more transparency and openness regarding our information, we formed Open Council, an addition to our website that collates key information sources on Council’s finances, purchasing, governance and decisionmaking as well as information on Councillor’s conduct and personal interests.

We have increased community engagement and access to councillors through our councillor coffee chats.

Our Livability Survey provided residents with an opportunity to share their thoughts on how to make the Noosa Shire an even better place to live.

Results from that survey will be used to support strategic decision making and improve service delivery.

We have moved from surviving and reviving to thriving. Our 2020/21 budget showed Noosa Council is now officially back in surplus, a year earlier than expected as part of our four-year recovery plan.

Noosa Shire continues to face a housing emergency that is having an impact on the economy, on our businesses and affecting the liveability of our communities.

This is a global pandemic issue, it is unheralded and it needs a committed tri-partisan approach.

In response to Mayoral Minute I tabled in December 2020, highlighting the crisis, subsequently, a housing needs assessment has been undertaken to form part of our housing strategy. This is the most aggressive step Noosa Council has taken in this space.

We can’t fix it on our own, it needs a lot more money from state and federal governments.

We need to advocate for more investment into social housing and we need to look at what planning opportunities are available to enhance the level of housing availability in the shire.

Noosa has no high rises and still doesn’t.

Any new density will be to address affordable housing issues, which again, would be subject to community consultation.

More than 70% of respondents rated Council’s overall performance as good and very good.

During the past two years, we have proven to be a council that is determined, positive and forward-thinking.

On a personal note, I’m incredibly proud of the Inaugural Mingle with the Mayor Ball, which raised over $280k. The funds enabled Sunny Kids to open a second outreach centre for the most at-risk families in our Shire. This is what coming together can do. This is what community can achieve. This is what I believe leadership is all about.

Although this Council has had to deal with ongoing historical issues, some very controversial, much work has been done but there is still so much more to do.

All councillors remain committed to the challenges ahead.

Smart moves for care Aged Care has been attracting a lot of comment in the last 12 months and even more so since the impact of the Covid Omricon variant on residents and staff in Aged Care homes across the country.

Providing quality aged care is complex at the very best of times. It requires a massive effort from staff and volunteers and every single person involved plays a very important role in keeping residents safe and happy. In the middle of a pandemic, effective team-work is even more critical to maintain high quality care and protect residents from harm.

In early January, when a NoosaCare resident was diagnosed with COVID, the staff and volunteer team swung into action with a well thought through and endorsed plan designed to keep residents safe, families connected and the business operating.

As more staff themselves contacted COVID from community sources and our organisation faced some critical short-term shortages, we adopted innovative and clever ideas to ensure that residents continued to have quality care and lifestyle choices. We were particularly keen to maintain social contact and engagement for residents to the best extent possible.

We put out an SOS to families to help with resident care and received 45 positive responses. We provided RAT testing and access to PPE for those families able to help out with Mum or Dad. We set up an outdoor visiting area so loved ones could chat and interact while still practising physical distance and observing safety protocols.

These creative ideas were designed and implemented by the amazing NoosaCare staff who are dedicated to preserving some semblance of normality in very trying times. Many of them volunteered to do longer shifts to cover shortfalls. Their commitment and resilience has been outstanding.

On behalf of the board of NoosaCare, we wish to extend our sincere thanks for the extraordinary effort of everyone at NoosaCare.

We are incredibly proud of the work you have done and the compassionate solutions you have delivered.

Thank you one and all for your exceptional service.

The inaccuracies in the article that you published on the 4th of this month entitled ‘Call to change the date’ cannot go uncorrected.

For Dr. Craig Johnson’s edification, the 26th of January was named Australia Day, not because of the coincidence of the First Fleet’s arrival, but for the fact that it was the day on which the Nationality and Citizenship Act was enacted.

The year was 1949, and the 26th of January was the day that we became Australian, and no longer British, citizens - which, until the 26th of January 1949 had been the case!

It was the day all Australians - including Aborigines - received their independence from British Rule. The absolute opposite I would have thought of an ‘invasion day’ - very much a ‘freedom day’ in fact! A day that I would have thought worth celebrating - and impossible to change.

“Reduce your waste” was the message from editor, Margie Maccoll (NT 11/2), if we want to save the Council (ourselves) purchasing $1m pa in carbon credits needed to overcome the “emissions floor” which is otherwise stopping the Noosa Council from reaching net zero emissions by 2026. This emissions floor is caused by the inability to capture all of the methane released from council landfillIs. It needs to be noted that this does not mean net zero emissions for the wider Noosa Shire, just the Council.

Our federal government (for want of better word) has done almost nothing, other than produce marketing videos for TV, to reduce our carbon emissions or promote renewable energy or change our wasteful habits. They are kind of like a reverse government, doing everything in the short-term interest of donors and nothing for the long-term welfare of the environment or citizens.

Our state government could be freezing new coal, gas or oil exploration, extraction or burning and promoting the compensation and retraining that will be necessary when miners inevitably lose their jobs. They could stop the clearing of all remaining forests and viable wildlife habitat. They could also be promoting more EVs by supporting and encouraging recharging stations, reducing or eliminating stamp duties, or changing all government vehicles to EV. They could go a long way to reduce the widespread use of plastic.

Our own NSC, at risk of upsetting the “freedumb phiters”, could be mandating that all new buildings have installed conduction cooktops, solar or heat exchange hot water services, solar panels, adequate insulation, and compost bins. Perhaps they could even charge rates based on how often your bins are emptied. We could already be taking steps to eliminate plastic wrapping. Cellophane could replace most plastics and it is biodegradable.

Our own Zero Emissions Noosa, is doing great work to reduce carbon output.

Now seems to be a time when there is sympathy for small government and government getting out of the way but, in fact, there has hardly been a time when it is more necessary

for government to get involved. We need to stop plastic pollution and land clearing and we must stop releasing fossil carbon dioxide.

Our current Federal government does not understand any of this and the state government needs continual reminders of its obligations to citizens and the environment.

Behind closed doors As a young boy in the UK in the 1940s I was one of many family’s who listened to entertainer George Formby on radio and record’s and enjoyed his singing to the music of his Ukulele playing.

One of his songs he will be remembered for was “When I’m Cleaning Windows.”

I was reminded of this watching and listening to Scott Morrison play and sing to his Ukulele on the promo for 60 Minutes.

Maybe if he loses the Election that’s a career in Parliament House he could consider. That would give him a good insight into what goes on there behind closed doors. As he seems to be unaware of it now.

Campers, grey nomads are in for a treat Campers and grey nomads are in for a treat and can prepare to experience the luxury of home comforts at Sunshine Coast Council’s Coolum Beach Holiday Park.

The beachside getaway will soon offer a sustainable and accessible coastal-style amenities block thanks to a $1.6 million investment.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 9 councillor Maria Suarez said the project was planned to be completed just in time for the winter school holidays.

“This premium coastal holiday park now offers campers a home-away-from-home with all the modern conveniences,” Cr Suarez said.

“Last month, (January 31) demolition works started on the old building, with the new building set to include amenities and showers for all campers, including those living with a disability, plus outdoor showers for those coming straight from the beach to the campsite and a laundry space to wash and dry.

“As Australia’s most sustainable region it

was imperative the building was equipped with solar power generation, battery storage and rainwater harvesting for use in flushing toilets.

“The north facing roof is ideally positioned to maximise the capture of solar energy.

“The materials, fittings and fixtures have been selected to withstand the coastal environment, achieve longevity and reduce maintenance costs.

“This upgrade will meet the demand for the ever-growing number of guests discovering this popular beachside getaway.

“Coolum is one of two council-owned, dogfriendly family holiday parks on the Sunshine Coast – the other at Mudjimba which will also be undergoing a very similar amenities upgrade later this year.

“Coolum is a quintessential Sunshine Coast patrolled surf beach and like all of council’s holiday parks at Dicky Beach, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Cotton Tree and Mudjimba, is

on prime beach frontage.

“The park is on four hectares and is one of the region’s most popular camping and caravan destinations which is why council continues to invest in our facilities to ensure they remain contemporary and attractive for all our valued guests.”

Coolum Beach Holiday Park manager Nicole Filippini said the new upgrade would be well received.

“Campers have been looking forward to the upgrade for a long time and are very excited to see what the new build will look like,” Mrs Filippini said.

“Constant park improvements always add to a positive experience for the guests.

“As a result of the pandemic, the industry has grown in the last two years and the popularity of caravanning and camping around Australia is massive.

“We are looking forward to having the building complete for all our winter guests to enjoy.”

The Bolton Report Sandy Bolton, Noosa MP

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.

Picture: ROB MACCOLL

Time for change makers My Parliamentary portfolio Committee, Legal Affairs and Safety, has just completed the inquiry into serious vilification and hate crimes in Queensland with the report available on Parliament’s website. It is shocking what has and is being perpetrated to our fellow human beings across communities within our streets, schools and yes, online. Vilification has many definitions and ranges from vilification through to unlawful vilification. However it starts with the Cambridge dictionary definition as ‘the act of saying or writing unpleasant things about someone or something, in order to cause other people to have a bad opinion of them’: Hmmm, well at some point I have no doubt we have all experienced that! The contributors? A combination including a lack of understanding (empathy) around differing cultures, beliefs, perspectives, and situations, amplified by media on and offline. As vilification increases, it can lead to hate, and potentially violence.

Whilst we have an amazing community where we see extreme compassion and empathy for our environment, flora and fauna, our visitors and new residents, I have also seen creeping in during Covid, a lack of empathy on a range of matters, further ‘labelling’ of those with a different belief, and some quite outstanding commentary that has led to me scratching my head in confusion and disbelief.

Empathy according to Dr Google is ‘the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.’ That is not easy unless you have walked in another’s shoes, including the mud that sticks, or the soles that are threadbare from efforts. Hence why broadening our knowledge of their world and experiences, through their sharing and our conversations, 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 18 February, 2022

is so important.

When I arrived here 30 years ago, there was some serious ‘ruckussing’ going on between what was seen as newcomer ‘greenies’ and older farming families. Having come straight from remote properties in the NT and QLD, where there is no place for divisions as you are interdependent, we learnt that empathy is the route to resolution, or at least agreeing to disagree! Everyone had a role, whether medical, mechanical or disaster, as there is no one within hours to save your life, fix your car, put out a raging bushfire or pluck you from floodwaters. Seeing this local dissent, I started the Kin Kin Village Voice, to connect and share stories to foster empathy between the diversity, as well the phone numbers of who fixed cars or blocked pipes!! It was very ‘amateur’, typed out on paper with pictures hand drawn by a local artist Liz, and then photocopied with a donation of $20.

Although times have changed, as well my role as a community representative, I still do similar however using different platforms.

Whether speaking at events, in Parliament or sharing in columns or Facebook, what is going on in our community, the aim is to increase understanding and to decrease divisions, as these detract from the common ground to better our world and get through disasters including Covid.

Many ‘observers’ ask where I get my patience from in responding to criticism of my efforts to unite versus divide. I was confused about this as I am most definitely not a patient person, and my much better half and family will testify to that! However, after some brutal misconceptions regarding my sharing of key messages on social media from a recent rally,

which has given me a whole host of fodder for many columns, I realised that many were confusing my ‘patience’ with what was actually ‘empathy’ for others. This can at times be in direct conflict with my own beliefs, or in line with those who actively politic against me! Did I not say when I was elected that I was your ‘voice’ without agendas or alliances, or restricted to those who hold similar viewpoints, or what may be considered a majority, though that is for a whole other column!

There are excellent books on how our brain works, as well contributors to our perceptions and beliefs. One book by a neurophysicist gave an exercise that demonstrated how we can try to differentiate between what appears black or white, when both are actually white! By the information given with the image, he had in effect ‘tricked’ our brain without us knowing it. That says something fairly basic – differing viewpoints or perceptions are nothing to get angry or abusive about, it is an exercise in understanding how the belief was formed. And you can only get that by listening and accepting that we do not know everything, as well that at times there may be some ‘trickery’? Others may be able to explain better including Confucius “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance” and Socrates “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”

For our community to prosper and move beyond Covid, loss of black glossy feed trees, deflated clowns, and a raft of issues that require knowledge, empathy and cohesiveness, we all need to be prepared to listen and learn.

This is not based on whether a viewpoint is a majority or minority as remember, the most significant changes throughout history have often started from the voices of a minority, that

later morphed into a majority. Famed cultural Anthropologist Margaret Mead said “Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.”

Empathy for others with opposing viewpoints does not weaken you or your beliefs, or make the sky fall in. It demonstrates a raft of very admirable qualities, decreases divisions whether in your personal or work relationships and community endeavours, as well lessens social unrest. Most importantly, it is key to ending vilification, and moving forward to a place where ‘hate crimes’ are another part of our past. I see this as one of the most important social contracts we can have with each other.

As we move from Covid, into the many realms that require all to come together and share their stories without fear of vilification including the Path to Treaty, take a moment to consider. Are you a contributor, a bystander or a changemaker when it comes to the vilification of others?

From the very many diverse viewpoints that I work with every day and incredible people, if any community across QLD can lead the way to greater empathy as part of increasing knowledge, Noosa can.

A final word from Margaret Mead. “Never depend upon institutions or government to solve any problem. All social movements are founded by, guided by, motivated and seen through by the passion of individuals.”

Eumundi set to play up Put Sunday 27 February in your diary for the next Park Sounds event, taking place from 2 to 5pm in Dick Caplick Park, right in the centre of town Eumundi.

Pack your picnic rug for this fabulous afternoon of free live music, and a line-up that will see Cora and Lochie, Yeah The Girls, Little Mountain Duo and August River Band take to the stage.

Cora and Lochie are 15 years old and have been together as a duo for almost two years, after meeting as part of the Eumundi School of Rock. They play a mixture of well-known covers that cater for all age groups, as well as building on their original songs.

Cora has been writing her own songs since she was eight.

Singing and playing a combination of acoustic and electric guitar, layered with some great beats, Cora and Lochie will get you singing along and dancing.

Yeah The Girls is an all-female band that began as a coming together of high school music students.

Now in their third year of working and performing together, their love for making music together continues to grow and shines through in their upbeat and entertaining performances

of rock and pop classics.

Little Mountain Duo is Cameron Cronk and Simon Taylor, delivering a blend of indie-folk and alternative pop/rock sounds through their original songs.

Their debut EP, When It All Changed, was co-produced with Tim Hart (Boy and Bear) and launched through sold-out shows in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Little Mountain had their first festival stage appearance at Caloundra Music Festival (where they received a Local Limelight Award) and are planning a new EP release and tour this year.

Hearing August River Band for the first time, you may find yourself thinking Roy Orbison was fronting an unplugged Faith No More show with Stuart Copeland on drums. Prepare yourself for cinematic lyrical noir with dark tales full of imagery from a lost Cohen Bros script, odd-time metal riffs played on acoustic guitars, soaring and swooning classical violin layers underpinned by heavy dub rock basslines, harmonies and a heavy dose of poetic romance.

Park Sounds is an initiative by the team at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi and takes place on the last Sunday of the month. This is an alcohol-free event

August River Band will be playing at the next Park Sounds event on Sunday 27 February.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Swordfish curry.

Pucca style.

Pucca up in the Junction

By Trevor Pepys, who revisits Pucca Noosa This was overdue. Trev’s last visit was in the dying days of 2020, when Pucca, like Covid, was new and exciting.

Over the intervening 14 months Trev had heard several glowing reports of both food and ambience, and since he and the missus didn’t get past the entrees last time round, it was definitely time to give this “culinary experience inspired by southern coastal India, the spice ghats of Kerala and its Euro-Indian heritage” another go. And despite the preceding slightly over-the-top hype, walking into this stylish indoor/outdoor space in the heart of the Junction and taking a table in the alfresco section where we could watch the buses roar by immediately transported Trev back to a couple of noisy but excellent street food meals just along from the Bolgatty Palace way back in the mists of time.

Having been shocked by the starting price of the voluminous wine list, and the undrinkability of the house wine, this time Trev and the missus had booked in for Thursday BYO, a wise call as we were soon quaffing a very good and salmony-pink Kiwi Pinot Gris from Marlborough called The Ned. Our minds were made up to actually eat curry off the mains list, but Trev noted that Dad’s Puchkas ($11) were still offered in the starters, and since last time he’d been put off them by a woman at the next table sending them back, he decided to man up and give them a go, coupled with a serving of Spanner Crab Samosa with cucumber raita ($16) and some paratha ($9).

For mains we elected to share the Pork Belly Vindaloo curry with pickled onion ($37) and the Keralan Swordfish Curry with toasted garlic and spring onion ($41), helped along with coconut rice ($8).

Now it turned out that the lady who’d sent back Dad’s Puchkas was a fair judge. The puffed Pani Puri balls, which you crack open and fill with chickpeas and coriander, was completely tasteless and the chickpeas not much better.

The accompanying pepper water was the only saving grace. So we weren’t off to a flyer, but the crab samosa was excellent in both texture and taste, as was the paratha.

A huge fan of pork belly in most of its presentations, Trev was so looking forward to a spicy treat, but the vindaloo was also slightly disappointing, far too mild for Trev’s taste but somewhat lacking in flavor too. Fortunately, the swordfish curry was excellent. Billed as mild, it actually packed slightly more heat than the alleged vindaloo, but its main quality was the delicious separation of spices, all of which

One year ago today, you sadly went away.

A thousand words can’t bring you back, we know because we’ve tried.

A million tears can’t bring you back, we know because we’ve cried.

If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

Our hearts are nearly broken, but somehow we will survive.

We’re wishing for visiting hours in Heaven, so we could visit and comfort you.

We love and miss you dearly, and wish that you were here.

Your swan song is now over, but your melody will forever linger on.

Our dear memories bring us gentle comfort and the courage to go on.

As we continue to see big easterly swell hitting the bar with southeast winds, the surfers sure are happy! For those heading offshore the windows have been very narrow with winds tending to puff up early. A few boats made the run out but reports were limited.

For those itching to get out the reef species will be out and about with some huge sweetlip and coral trout taken from Sunshine. With sharks ever present you may need to step up your gear to give you the grunt to wind hard and fast. With hundreds of rods and reels to pick from, now is a great time to gear up.

Spanish mackerel will be out there with floated pilchards a great way to pick up a few.

They love a solid burley trail and will often follow it right to the back of the boat. Be sure to grab some pellets and tuna oil as well as some metal slugs for casting at them and the tuna as they are waiting for you!

Surf fishing has seen consistent catches of whiting and dart along the coastline for those armed with medium light surf rods. For those with long cast reels and heavier rods small snapper and sweetlip are in range around the many rocky areas that litter the coast south of Noosa. Simple single hook paternoster rigs are best for distance casting as is a grapnel sinker to hold your bait still in the swell.

The river is seeing a few great captures as of late. Flathead and mangrove jacks are now dominating the species list with whiting, bream and golden trevally making up the rest.

With a lack of heavy rainfall things are starting to clear up and as such you can start thinking about different lure options.

The new Chasebaits armour prawns are in stock and should be a firm favorite for anglers after big flathead and mangrove jack. They have a jointed tail and a hard body ensuring they will last you many XL fish. These can be worked around the dog beach snags just be sure you are fishing heavy as the big fish are going to smash this. Also new in are the soft plastics from MMD which should go well for angler in both the estuary and the fresh on bigger species. The new Fat Skippa when loaded with scent and slow rolled along the bottom is going to be a great lure for jacks and flathead too.

Harry Walker managed to land this very nice queenfish from the Noosa River.

No matter where you fish the neap tides this week should see more of an open bite window giving you more time to find the fish. If you need to know what’s biting and where then be sure you pop in.

Freshwater has seen some very fat bass taken from the surface and even a few yellow belly from Lake MacDonald. Both fish will hit a slow trolled lure and even a spinnerbait. If casting is your thing, you can try the small snoop dog lures from fish craft, especially if fishing light is your thing. For working the deep schools of fish then the trusty Keitech 3 inch easy shiner on light gauge jig heads slow rolled through the schools of fish is always a great fallback option.

Now for all the latest information log onto www.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.

Pin High Peter Owen

A delighted John Small after his sensational 63 at Cooroy.

Young Abigail Wolff shows her style.

John’s not small on talent When John Small pulled his tee shot on the first hole into the trees at Cooroy last week, he feared he may be in for a pretty torrid day on a course he’d played only once before.

A plus one handicapper at Pelican Waters, John was playing off plus three on the statistically easier Cooroy course during a Vets host day competition last Monday.

After enduring some derisive jeers from his playing partners, John somehow found the fairway with his second shot, laid up with his third, chipped on and sunk a three metre putt for a bogey on a hole officially rated Cooroy’s easiest.

From that point on, John Small really showed why he’s rated so highly, and why he’s the senior member of an A grade pennant team considered the best in all of Queensland.

John birdied the third and eighth holes to complete his first nine in 33 strokes. Then he took the Cooroy course apart.

He birdied 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 before holing out his pitch shot for another birdie on the 18th.

When the smoke had settled, John’s card showed he’d navigated the tight Cooroy circuit in 63 strokes, tallying 40 stableford points and winning the day’s A grade competition by four points.

He’d also shot his age for the first time – a remarkable achievement for somebody aged just 65.

“I was over the moon,” said John, who revealed he had a running bet with long-time Coffs Harbour-based mate Paul Gallagher of a bottle of Penfolds Grange wine for the first of them to beat their age on a golf course.

“Straight after the game I got on the phone and texted him, ‘Grange, baby!’” John said.

After playing golf for years at the Killara Golf Club, north of Sydney, where his handicap was once plus three, John relocated to the Sunshine Coast in 2018 and joined Pelican Waters.

A member of the NSW junior squad in his youth, he has always been a good golfer – good enough that, when he was 50, he visited the United States and competed in Q-School qualifying for the Champions Tour.

The trip was cut short when his father died, but by then John had discovered the truth – his game just wasn’t good enough for that sort of intense competition.

Instead he returned to Sydney and, for more than a decade, ran the Meriton Sydney Invitational – a pro-am with prizemoney of $125,000 that raised $800,000 for the Westmead Children’s Hospital and became the biggest golf event of its kind in Australia.

As for his own game, John says he’s got better as he’s got older, and he particularly enjoys playing with fellow veterans at courses all around the Sunshine Coast.

Cassie passes the test Peregian’s Cassie Porter found herself in exalted company at the weekend as she tested her game against some of Australia’s best golfers in the women’s Victorian Open.

Cassie’s four solid rounds – 71, 70, 72 and 71 - around 13th Beach’s Creek and Beach courses saw the rookie pro finish tied for fourth.

In front of her were US LPGA Tour players Hannah Green, the winner, and Karis Davidson, and Ladies European Tour member Whitney Hillier. Alongside her was another LPGA Tour player, Su Oh. Cassie collected prizemoney of $21,525 for her efforts, and continued a run of tournament performances that showed the 19-year-old has the brightest of futures on the pro tour.

Katelyn Must, the teaching pro at Peregian, tied for 23rd.

Abigail has a winning attitude She may not be the best player on the Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Golf Tour, but Abigail Wolff is impressing many people with the way she goes about playing the game.

The young Noosa Springs junior has just been awarded the tour’s Drummond Golf Achiever of the Month award for players competing in the six and nine-hole events.

Abigail, a new Invincibles member, won the award for her attitude, sportsmanship and presence on the course.

Invincibles founder and president Graeme Miller said the award was not so much about winning an event, but more about honesty, integrity, commitment and focus.

“Abigail is a pleasure to be out on the course with,” said Graeme, who was understandably chuffed with the performance of former Invincibles members in last weekend’s women’s Victoria Open at 13th Beach.

Past member Karis Davidson tied for second, while Cassie Porter (tied 4th), Justice Bosio (tied 10th) and Katelyn Must (tied 23rd) were prominent.

So close for Maddie A brilliant tee-shot on the short 12th hole that almost found the cup helped Noosa’s Maddison Kelly to a brilliant one-under-par 71 in the Peregian Junior Open on Sunday. But it wasn’t quite enough to give her victory.

Maddie and Bundaberg’s Kate McFarlane tied with matching 71s, which would normally have resulted in a playoff. But, because it was getting dark, organisers resorted to a count-

back, with Late winning with a better second nine.

Maddie took some consolation, though, in being runner-up in the net category, and taking the Nearest the Pin award for her second shot to the 18th hole.

Keith too good for the Vets Keith Harkins, who moved to the Sunshine Coast six years ago after 22 years as an engineer in the food industry in Brisbane, scored 40 points to win Cooroy Vets’ stableford competition last Wednesday.

He beat Paul Korczynski and Peter Crosby, who each had 39 points.

Best score of the day was Ken McKay’s 41 points, which saw him win the B grade trophy.

Feel, don’t think, your golf swing TAKE THE TIP PETER HEINIGER

·

As golfers we’re all guilty of trying too hard. Avoid thinking the golf swing and work more on feeling it.

There is a big difference between thinking and focusing. Over-thinking can often stifle the action of the golf swing.

Turning your focus to feeling the golf swing will allow a smooth rhythmical action to flow, resulting in more consistency with less toll on the body.

So next time out on the golf course, feel your 30m pitch, feel your punch shot into the wind and feel your nice high drawing driver. You may even feel a good golf score evolving in doing so.

Good golfing.

Leadership grant for Dolphin

Juniors take to the water for the 2021 event.

Pictures: SUNNY COAST PHOTOS

Summer swim is on This weekend the annual Noosa Summer Swim celebrates its ninth birthday with an action packed weekend of ocean swims on Noosa Main Beach.

Sunday will host the main day of events with 1km, 2km, 3km & 5km courses as well as the Junior Giants event - a 300m course designed for kids aged 8 – 16 years.

On Saturday, new small group sessions have been added to provide expert coaching and an introduction to local conditions for those looking for an adventure.

World Series Swims Director, John Guise, says they have been blown away by the growth in numbers over the past two years.

“We had record entries in 2021, even with all the Covid restrictions and we were hoping for a similar result this Summer’ “This weekend we’re likely to have over 2000 participants for the first time ever and that’s also a first for any Queensland ocean swim too – the sport itself is growing rapidly in Queensland” Guise also says there have been some valuable lessons to come out of operating events during the Covid pandemic.

“Overcrowding is obviously something that every event organiser has tried to avoid over the past two years” “By building in more time between event start times and allocated Check-in times for each distance, we were able to avoid congestion in 2021 and this will be a feature of our program again this year” “It has actually improved the overall experience we think, for participants, supporters and the general public”.

Noosa summer swim grows in popularity.

The event also regularly attracts elite swimmers from around Australia for the marquee Noosa 5.0 event, but it is local Sunshine Coast swimmers who have dominated this in past years.

Past champions have included Chelsea Gubecka, Nick Sloman, Hayden Cotter, Bailey Armstrong and 2020 Tokyo Olympic medallist, Kareena Lee. Public transport has also been added this year, with a free shuttle bus added to transport participants and supporters from Noosa Junction to Hastings St. “The event continues to grow so we are adding new elements to cater for this growth

– we hope that the shuttle service will be popular and take some pressure off traffic in and around Hastings St” Online entries for all Noosa Summer Swim events are available until noon on Saturday February 19.

More information on the program and all courses can be found at worldseriesswims. com.au The Noosa Summer Swim is proudly supported by Tourism Noosa, the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland and local partners, Emerald Noosa, the Noosa Heads Surf Club and Sunshine Beach Surf Club.

Become a waste warrior at Noosa festival Are you the type of person that gets frustrated when you see recyclables thrown into the general waste bin?

If you’re an avid (or aspiring) recycler or composter, why not consider signing up to become a Waste Warrior volunteer for the Noosa Festival of Surfing, 5-13 March 2022.

Volunteers get to be part of all of the Noosa Festival of Surfing action, receive a goody bag, learn about event sustainability plus the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve made a difference.

To date, Noosa Waste Warrior volunteers at events have diverted hundreds of kilograms of food waste, 10c refundables and recycling from ending up in landfill.

Recycling at events can be confusing, and many event-goers are focused on enjoying the event, not on where their used cup should go.

Waste Warriors are stationed at event bins to help inform event-goers to place items in the correct bin.

This year the event organisers for the Noosa Festival of Surfing is aiming to divert 75 per cent of all waste from landfill and we need you to help make this happen!

Noosa sporting leader Tash Ramsden from Noosa District Rugby Union Club will be supported to further her career and gain new skills under the Australian Government’s 2022 Women Leaders in Sport (WLIS) program.

Federal Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien said Ms Ramsden, a volunteer media and communications officer for Noosa Dolphins, will receive a $3350 grant to undertake a Diploma of Social Media Marketing at the Monarch Institute.

“Social media plays a growing role in communications, team-building and gaining sponsorship, and I congratulate Ms Ramsden on her success and her strong contribution to growing Noosa Dolphins’ reputation and encouraging increased participation in rugby union,” Mr O’Brien said.

In all, 489 women across 34 sports will benefit from the WLIS grants, which has helped strengthen the role of women leaders in sport for more than two decades.

Minister for Women Marise Payne said increasing the number of women leaders in sport was a priority for the Australian Government.

“We are pleased to support a program that empowers women in sport and helps organisations create more diverse and inclusive workplaces,” Minister Payne said.

Minister for Sport Richard Colbeck said the program provides valuable leadership development opportunities for women on and off the field.

“Through the WLIS program, we are supporting the next generation of women sports leaders. By assisting women leaders, coaches and match officials with their career development and creating more leadership pathways for women we are taking important steps towards achieving gender equity in sport.

Sport Australia Acting CEO Rob Dalton said the program, which began in 2002, continues to receive strong interest from the sector.

“This financial year saw a record number of individuals apply for funding which is testament to the program’s reputation and success in developing women leaders in sport.”

“So far more than 26,000 women and over 800 local, state and national sporting organisations have benefitted from this program and we look forward to supporting even more women in the future as we strive for a greater balance of men and women in senior positions in sport.”

WLIS is delivered by Sport Australia with the support of the Office for Women with individuals and organisations sharing in more than $526,000 in grants this financial year.

Four matches, four wins

By Randall Woodley Quote of the Week: -“If it is difficult, I will do it now. If it is impossible, I will do it presently.”

Sir Donald Bradman.

With only two One-Day matches left to play before the season’s finals, the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder teams moved into top gear last weekend winning all four matches in which they played. And to top off a great weekend, another two centuries were scored by club players.

FIRST GRADE Playing Nambour again at Read Park, Thunder won the toss and decided to bat on a good wicket and fast outfield. After losing a wicket in the first over the boys had to play carefully to ensure they posted a good score. However, when Jarrod Officer joined Lewis Waugh at 2 for 48 the expected good score looked like becoming a great score. The batting of Officer was described by one spectator as exhilarating and he and Waugh posted 220 runs to break the old 3rd wicket club record from 40 years ago. Officers scored 147 (14 X 4s and 7 x 6s), his highest score in any form of cricket. When he was out Waugh continued and was not out at the 50 over mark with 102. This was his third century of the season and he is closing on a 1000 runs since September. Blake Steel had helped the team to get to 320 for the loss of 3 wickets with a blistering 39 off 18 balls.

Nambour came out and had a great start to be 1-120 off the first 17 overs. Wickets were hard to come by although all the Thunder bowlers stuck to their tasks. When Nambour’s captain was dismissed by Scott Aufderheide for 80, they shut up shop and crawled to be 4 wickets down for 220 at stumps.

540 runs scored in the day for the loss of only 7 wickets! Big day for the batters but a tough one for the bowlers, from both sides.

Next week the team will be at Maroochydore in the first of two 50 over games to finish the season’s fixture matches.

SECOND GRADE Hosted by Caloundra the Thunder team batted first. They opened with Mark Kratzmann (16) and Billy Lloyd-Green, his first game with the seconds. After taking the first wicket at 33, Caloundra brought on the spinners and soon Thunder was 3-65.

Nigel Webster joined Lloyd-Green and the pair kept the run rate ticking over. Billy reached a fine 50 and did not stop there. With the overs progressing into the last 10, the Nigel and Billy show continued with Lloyd-Green eventually out for 77. Webster continued on and the team registered 4 for 173 with him getting his 50 Bowling second the wind had picked up making conditions difficult for the pace bowlers to keep on line. Despite this, Tyrone De Kauwe took the first wicket at 15. After the opening spell Jason Toohey and James Denslow were brought into the attack and ground away on an almost dead dry wicket.

After drinks the boys really put in a massive effort with dark and wet clouds circling around the ground. The race was on to stop Caloundra to get above the required run-rate. The second wicket fell with Jason cracking the game open at 2-105. Their innings was held together by their captain who went on to score 101 but Thunder kept at the job and restricted them to 7 for 158 at the 40 over mark.

Best bowling figures for Thunder- Tyrone De Kauwe 2-21, Josh Peters 3-18, Jason Toohey

Lewis Waugh walks off the ground, 101 not out. and Billy L-Green took a wicket each. Another good win for the team.

FOURTH GRADE The team were out to make amends for their loss last week to Caloundra and batted first.

After a solid start, Thunder was 2-45 after 10 overs and 4-81 at drinks. After drinks the batsmen accelerated with quick singles and boundaries galore to Ben Shaw and Richard Lee; a payback after last week. The team progressed to be 7-192 off the 40 overs. A great score and like the team’s score last week, more than competitive. Top run getters- Richard Lee 50, Ben Shaw 34 and Connor Harrison 25.

Thunder started well taking early wickets and soon the Lighthouses were 4-34, followed by an LBW to Bobby McGhee off his first ball had half their team out for 44. A couple of chances and annoying partnerships saw Caloundra 7-134 after 27 overs and ahead of the runs with rain coming. Ben Shaw then bowled superb to finish with 4 wickets off his 8 overs.

Bobby McGhee ended their innings at 154 with a direct hit run out.

Top bowlers-Ben Shaw 4 -26, Mike Thomson 3 -25 and Luke Anstey 1 -22.

SIXTH GRADE Playing Wamuran-Stanley River for the second week in a row the team played strongly and had a win again. The Thunder boys, on their home ground batted first and registered a very good score of 211 for the loss of 9 wickets.

Wamuran improved on their scoring the previous week but fell short to be 7 for 183 when time ran out. The sixes are looking good for the finals in March.

Jarrod Officer straight drives.

Talking Sport Ron Lane

A very successful program Amongst the young people of today, there are many programs outside of the schools and colleges that are of the utmost importance. One of these is the Surf Education Program.

Run by the Queensland Surf Life Saving Association its purpose is to educate out youth in all aspects of life at the beach: fun in the surf, beach safety and awareness of the Surf Life Saving Movement: and its role in their every day family visits to their local beaches.

Under the control of Education Manager Sacha Tapara-Beaton is a staff of 25 personal ,all of whom must be fully qualified and active bronze holding members.

Regarding the training Sacha said, “Our programs can go for 4 to 5 weeks, with the day starting at 9 and going through to 3pm or anywhere in between. The team size could be 30 to 180 at any given time, and under the supervision of at least two instructors. We start off with a talk on general surf lifesaving and beach safety. The day will then consist of swimming, board paddling and rescue procedures: this will then continue over a 4- week period.”

But it is not just for the smaller kids but also for the high school students: for these the major difference is that the program can go for a total of 8 weeks with more emphases on basic rescue procedures as well as first aid.

When this is completed, you can rest assured that the students will take away surf skills that they will have forever.

However, the success of such programs will without a doubt, depend on the character and experience that the training team members possess.

When we look back over some twenty years’ we remember such trainers as Greg McGlocklin and former paramedic Steve “Frecko” Freckleton (still helping out) who started their first program working out of the Good Shepherd College. Now they have some 25 schools engaged in programs. Another trainer whose contribution has been outstanding has been Donald McKill.

Donald who is now in year 10 as an instructor, is also heavily involved in the Seahorse Nippers, that organisation who specialises in working with children with special needs.

“When we work with the young kids the smiles on their faces as they train on the beach makes it all worth- while: also, we know that what they learn will stay with them for years to come.”

Another very dedicated member of the training team is Kara Gardner. Kara who is now in her fifth year summed it up well when she said, “This is indeed a team with great dynamics and lots of fun.’’

Another very successful aspect has been introducing the program into the Cherbourg Aboriginal Community.

This came about following a discussion between Jack Lewis a senior Noosa member, and Steve Freckleton.

Lewis was of the opinion that a visit to Cherbourg would be a great opportunity to introduce the students to life at a beach and also give the them an inside to what surf lifesaving was all about.

Steve took his advice and a visit to both Cherbourg and Muggon, where all the young spent time at the local pool, was organised and the concept was fully explained.

This was so well received, that children from the community visited and took part in the program training.

“It goes without saying that they loved every minute of their training; it was time and effort well spent,” said a training team member.

For the Noosa club it is also interesting to note that Murgon, the small country town adjacent to Cherbourg, is the home town of many Noosa lifesavers: some of whom such as Kerry “Pencil” Sorensen and Mike Horner went on to achieve the high honour of being awarded Life Membership.

The fact is the Noosa club has thrown its full support behind this Education Program and for this it is to be applauded.

Good Shepherd College students take part in the Surf Education Program.

The Surf Education program educates youth at the beach.

But above all the number of long serving local lifesavers who stepped up to accept the responsibility of making the programs a total success, should be acknowledged.

People such as McGlocklin, Freckelton,

McKill, Gardner just to name a few.

In doing so, they have without a doubt saved many a young person life.

And that is what surf clubs are all about: the protection of human life, be they young or old.

This Education Program is something that not only the club but also the community should take pride in.

The time and effort that our people have put into this project should acknowledged.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com

Give the girls a break The historic inclusion of the women’s division at the World Surf League’s season-opening World Championship Tour event at Pipeline this month has thrown a sharp new focus on women’s surfing, and created a new icon for it as a biproduct.

When local wildcard Moana Jones Young elegantly threaded her way through enough barrels to take the Pipe Pro crown and shoot to number one on the women’s rankings, it was a banner day for the sport, but there were a few ripples along the way. Moana’s channeling of Pipe master Gerry Lopez at her home break in the final had to wait until the day after Kelly Slater’s extraordinary victory in big difficult conditions. What got the surfing commentariat frothing was the fact that even though there was plenty of time on the schedule, the final three heats of the women’s competition was quietly held over.

As Swellnet’s Steve Shearer reported: “Head of Competition Jessi Miley-Dyer was as cheery as a chipmunk in clover this morning when she announced Finals Day, “I’m here to let you know that today will be Finals Day,” she said with a huge grin. “We’ll be starting with Men’s Quarter-Finals and then moving into Women’s Semis”. ‘Finally’, thought a million surf fans, ‘we get to see the women at proper Pipe’.

Huge crowd. Chunky gnarly Pipe. Minimum of $25,000 US Dollars for paddling out. $80,000 for the winner.

“But as Men’s QF 4 ticked down a pall of silence fell over the webcast. It was like someone had died suddenly, but we didn’t know who, or how. Well, we knew who - it was the women’s semi-finals. Nothing from Jessi. Nothing from the booth. Not a word of explanation to the audience. For a broadcast team that can’t manage to catch all the live action and keep pace with what is happening on screen it was a remarkable level of co-ordination.”

Okay, the bumbling incompetence of the WSL is a common theme on surf websites.

We get that. But Shearer, a good writer whose event coverages I enjoy, had a bee in his bonnet about the women competitors too, and their apparent reluctance to man up.

He continued: “Don’t get me wrong. I do not disrespect fear. Fear is the most disrespected commodity in action sports and popular culture. Contrary to the therapy speak that “nothing” lies on the other side of fear, in this case it’s very much a something … At a certain level though, someone has to be courageous enough to be honest about the fear. It could have been Tyler, maybe Carissa.

“At the least JMD [Miley-Dyer] should have protected her athletes and carried the can for them. Instead of making a statement such as, ‘We’ve decided conditions are too unsafe and in the interests of our athletes have decided not to hold competition,’ JMD threw her girls under the bus, making it clear that “after discussions with the women” they’d decided not to run due to the wind. It was a disgraceful display of corporate cowardice and JMD should on the next plane home looking for a new job.”

Of course everyone at the WSL and the media had access to the Surfline forecast which showed only slightly smaller and cleaner conditions for the next day, but that didn’t stop the torrent of outrage continuing. Not only were the women letting themselves down, they were letting us down. I mean who doesn’t want to see Carissa Moore or Tyler Wright quaking in fear as a monster set washes through Second Reef! The hacks of the 24-hour news cycle were baying for blood!

This is what Shearer had to say when the women ran the following morning in beautiful conditions: “Well, the women got their day at proper Pipe and the sporting world finally got an answer to the question: who wants a piece of barrelling 8-10 foot Pipe amongst the women’s elite? Not many. Tyler Wright did not.

Lakey Peterson did not. Carissa Moore did not.”

I don’t know how Steve knew that, but true or false, I think he needs to ease up on the hairy-chested raves and consider the fact that

Oh, what a feeling. most of the field had done very little time at one of the world’s most dangerous reefs. With the exception of Jones Wong, they were tentative and often out of position looking for the shoulder, even normally fearless Tyler Wright.

Anyone who has ever surfed a wave of consequence knows that feeling, no matter how great your skills level.

By the time you read this the girls will probably be competing at big Sunset. I hope they shred it, and I hope all the macho media men glued to their screens at 3am give them a break.

Vale Peter Cole One of the greats of early big wave riding, Peter Cole has died at his North Shore, Oahu home, aged 91.

Peter, a tall, gentle, softly-spoken man who made his reputation riding giant waves at Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach in the late 1950s and ‘60s, was born in Los Angeles and started surfing at Santa Monica aged 14. While studying fine arts at Stanford University, he started driving over the coastal range to surf the big waves of Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, and after graduation he accepted a job teaching maths at Punahou College in Honolulu.

While he wasn’t crazy about maths, the job put him an hour away from the huge waves of the North Shore, and he was soon a regular in the scant line-up on maxed out days.

I met Peter several times in the ‘70s, but it wasn’t until the ‘90s, while writing a book about one of his students at Punahou, the famed big wave surfer Jeff Hakman, that we became friendly and I grew to respect the inner man as well as the surf hero.

EASTERN BEACHES TOP POPULARITY POLL PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY AN original multi-level beach house with an ab-fab whimsical aesthetic, lush garden, national park backdrop and ocean views at 7 McAnally Dve in Sunshine Beach, had Tom Offermann Real Estate listing agent Chris Miller on his toes during a busy marketing campaign.

Chris had been fielding interest from mainly interstate plus very keen locals ahead of Saturday’s auction.

Four registered bidders on the day were equally hopeful of redeveloping the 744sq m site, 200 metres to the beach.

However, it was sold under the hammer for $3.55m to excited expats.

On Sunday, the Roark Walsh-listed 13 Petrel St at Peregian Beach attracted big interest mainly from Brisbane-ites during the marketing campaign.

Twenty five people attended the auction, and three bidders who thought the quiet location was perfect for a family.

Delighted vendors of the Tom Offermann Real Estate-listed 7 McAnally Dve, Sunshine Beach. 267357

A high-set three-bedroom house with studio, shed, on 4000sq m at 11 Pryor Rd, Verrierdale, goes to auction at 1pm on Friday, February 25. 267357

Bidding started at $2m, stalled at $2.25m and sold immediately afterwards for $2.3m to a buyer from Victoria who viewed it on FaceTime and paid $2.3m.

The Eastern beaches also featured prominently in the latest RateMyAgent awards, while Tom Offermann Real Estate collected the majority of gongs.

COMFORT, STYLE AND PRIVACY It was a great result at Doonan last Friday when Mark Hodgkinson and Cassandra Young of Reed & Co took 43 Regency Rd to auction.

A comfortable six-bedroom, threebathroom house with pool on 0.6ha, the property attracted three registered bidders - two on site and a third on the phone from Sydney.

In an elevated position, the house had breath-taking panoramic views, and was grand in scale as well as proportion.

As well as the three bedrooms there is a home office or extra sleepout, all of which have blue gum timber flooring.

The corner block provides an 18m-wide water frontage to the canal.

The property includes a 10kW solar system, Crimsafe screens, ducted air-conditioning, swimming pool and established jetty.

SUNSHINE IN DEMAND Saturday’s auction of the single-level threebedroom house with pool at 32 Solway Dve, Sunshine Beach, went beyond the seller’s expectations.

Kathy Wise of Sunshine Beach Real Estate had three registered bidders by the midday start time - both local and from interstate.

After some spirited back and forth between the bidders, the phone buyer from Sydney won the day ... but only just.

Sold at auction for $1.785m, the appeal was the location - close to the national park, beaches and shops - the size, and ability to land bank or renovate.

Kathy, together with Sunshine Beach Real Estate colleague Rob Spencer, next has a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 44 Ferguson St, Sunshine Beach, going to auction on March 5.

SOUND TOWNHOUSE SELLS Jill Goode of Tom Offermann Real Estate has put a three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse on Noosa Sound under contract prior to the auction scheduled for Sunday, February 27.

The townhouse 5/53 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, attracted a strong offer at the second open home and has sold for $2.3m to a Victorian buyer.

Fellow Offermann agent Chris Miller is working with interest on the two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse apartment 7503/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads.

And he looks like having another penthouse in Peppers Resort going to auction early next month - a three-bedroom, single-level apartment.

Meanwhile Chris is busy with inquiry on the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with pool at 4/1-7 Bayview Rd, Noosa Heads, that goes to auction on Sunday, February 27.

PRIVACY CLOSE TO TOWN A renovator on acreage ... it’s what everyone seems to want.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront house with pool and jetty at 5 The Peninsula, Noosa Waters, goes to auction Thursday, February 24, at 2pm. 267357 And that was born out at the fourbedroom, two-bathroom, eight-vehicle house, stables, on 2ha at 1024 Browns Creek Rd, Eerwah Vale, with about 30 people through the first open for inspection.

Marketed by Theodora Garwood and David Garwood of Garwoods Estate Agents, the property is set for auction at 2pm on Saturday, February 26.

“It needs some work,’’ David said, “but the stables are in solid condition.

“It’s a very nice block of land that was previously agistment and had run six horses.

“The location is eight minutes from Eumundi yet private.’’

The stable block comes with 10 stalls, a tack room, kitchen and bathroom. There is also a large shed.

The house is on two levels, with multiple rooms and perfect for the owner-builder.

It sits on a slight knoll overlooking the rest of the land - gently rolling, with plenty of flat area and a long driveway.

TOP-LEVEL APARTMENT Anita Nichols at Laguna Real Estate has a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the Colonial Resort at 15/239-245 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, set for auction Saturday, February 19, at midday.

ROMANCE OF A QUEENSLANDER There was a fantastic response to the fivebedroom house, three-bathroom house with pool on 1.09ha at 244 Duke Rd, Doonan, with Penny Neep and Caroline Thomas of Penny Neep Real Estate.

Offering dual living potential, the property was listed at offers over $1,650,000.

“Queenslanders are so desirable at the moment,’’ Penny said, “… they are so romantic.’’

With high ceilings, Tasmanian oak timber flooring in the main living areas, ducted air-conditioning upstairs and slowburning wood stove, the home featured a refurbished kitchen with stone benchtops and gas stove.

Plantation shutters highlighted the main living areas and guest bedrooms.

After multiple offers were received, the property went to a local couple.

ON THE COVER

BRIGHT WHITE AND SUNNY DISPOSITION THERE is something undeniably bright and beautiful about a design that evokes the maxim of family living.

If you love northerly views such as waterways, as well as living life to the fullest indoors, alfresco also in the garden, and so much more, welcome to the upper level. Add the downstairs retreat to recreation, which includes a pool and sun terrace, bedrooms and hang-out space with kitchenette for teens and grandkids, plus an outdoor room currently used as a gymnasium. All that sums up to an extremely appealing residence, positioned on the high side of a quiet street.

Open the double doors in the polished concrete entry way to reveal an elegant albeit beachy neutral palette underpinning a relaxed ambiance. Admire the honeyhued brushbox flooring on the stairs and throughout the very generous dining and living spaces, where doors slide away into oblivion, out to a terrace. Eyes are immediately drawn to filtered views through the eucalypts, palms and pandanus in the foreground. Look a little further north to the Weyba waterways and a glimpse of the Sofitel Hotel, then beyond to Mt Cooroy and the Hinterland, where the sunsets are truly sublime.

The central hub is undoubtedly the lengthy galley-style kitchen with custombuilt white stone-topped cabinetry, including an island/breakfast bar plus premium appliances and a butler’s pantry, designed for those with a passion for cooking and of course entertaining.

On the south-eastern side, doors again disappear, this time opening out to a skillionroofed outdoor room which abuts terraced gardens and lush lawn. It ostensibly extends into a koala habitat and bush pathway with neighbouring landowners proudly acting as custodians. Family barbeques are a popular pastime, kids enjoy the dedicated playground, and choruses from kookaburras and parrots lend a happy note.

Also on this level are two bedrooms both accessing the terrace and enjoying those enviable water views, also over the pool.

The king master suite has beautiful sheers which waft in the summer breeze, a walk-in robe, and an ensuite with small macchiatocoloured subway tiles. The second queensize bedroom has built-in robes. A bathroom is opposite, and next to a walk-in linen closet.

Downstairs, easy living is high on the agenda. Sandy-coloured porcelain tiles are perfect given the living area with kitchenette, opens out to the north-facing

luminescent pool and undercover deck. It spells endless summers.

Three bedrooms have built-in robes, and share a bathroom with a tub; one has a separate study space, plus access (as per the adjoining laundry) to a large private undercover courtyard, which is currently used as gym and drying area.

“The address in the Coloola residential estate is much coveted and easy to see why,” explains Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata, who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 19 February 2022. “It’s on the western side of cosmopolitan Noosa Junction and is dotted with parks and reserves,” “Popularity also stems from being close to schools, an 18-hole championship golf course, a 15-minute walk to the Noosa River or Hastings Street and having the highly desirable cache of a Noosa Heads’ postcode.”

Facts & Features: Land Area: 607m2 House Area: 328m2 Pool: 10m x 4m About: 2-level; polished concrete entry; terrace upstairs 14.5m x 1.7m/downstairs 9.8m x 3m; brushbox timber flooring upstairs/tiles and carpet downstairs; walk-in linen closet; aircon + fans; premium window treatments incl sheers and auto blinds on NW terrace + security screens; ground floor with living area, kitchenette, 3 bedrooms + bathroom with tub; dedicated gym area/drying/ hobby courtyard/outdoor room; garage w internal access, workbench, storage and shelving Kitchen: galley-style with 6m island/ breakfast bar; white stone tops 2-pac cabinetry, pantry and soft close drawers; Fisher & Paykel integrated 3-door fridge + gas cooktop; Miele dishwasher; Qasair rangehood; butler’s pantry with Zip Hydrotap and storage Exterior: terraced gardens with elkhorns, bromeliads and natives + lawn abut bushland/koala habitat with pathway; skillion-roof/undercover alfresco terrace; playground with equipment; sep access to laundry & bed 5; solar 5.3kW; shed; auto irrigation system.

QUINTESSENTIAL BEACH HOUSE IMAGINE a quintessential environmentally-friendly, pavilion-style beach house in the exclusive dress circle of northern Sunshine Beach, almost wrapped by multiple terraces, an azurehued pool and an urban wildlife garden, which fans northerly from the 40m fenceline to nature at its best – the magnificent Noosa National Park. What a beguiling aspect, also visible from the multiplicity of spaces cleverly designed for all seasons and many wonderful reasons.

Only minutes from the beach, a path fringed with palms and paperbarks leads to the main entrance. Heavy double timber doors, inlaid with mother of pearl, open to reveal a captivating residence which exceeds every expectation. Inside or out, it exhibits a liberating sense of freedom.

Curved roof lines, soaring raked ceilings, and striking beams feature while wide eaves protect the numerous terraces.

Massive expanses of glass panes and louvres act as breezeways and allow light to shadow dance across beautiful blackbutt and spotted gum floors.

The interior neutral palette harmonises naturally with the exterior. The main living and dining areas open northward to the pool terrace with its backdrop of the National Park. The super-sized galley-style kitchen with stainless steel bench tops, is commensurate with the ‘everything and more’ theme throughout the residence.

Similarly, a massive undercover terrace which joins the 2-level 2-bedroom east wing, has access to the pool terrace and a separate entrance for guests if so desired.

Above the main living areas, also joining the east wing, a 5-star retreat to slumber exudes light and luxe. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe, a bathroom with deep corner bath, balcony, bespoke vanity with curved sides and a cut-out in the wall to capture the view, also a nursery, sitting room … whatever suits.

In the west wing off the main level is a bedroom with built-in robe, ensuite and undercover terrace, again with those magical views, while a few steps to ground level is the dream multi-purpose space for a home business or live-in relative, plus access to the pool deck and it has a separate entry.

“With a large parcel of land plus a versatile floor plan with possibly three living options,” comment Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Roark Walsh and Tiffany Wilson, who are taking the property to auction on Saturday 5 March 2022, “clever use of terraces bringing the outside in, plus plenty of room to entertain, this residence is the essence of an extremely laid-back beachy lifestyle, and it’s peaceful, private location is

perfection, especially when the ‘back garden’ is the spectacular Noosa National Park.

“Serious board riders, runners and explorers can access a designated walking trail not far away, with Alexandria Bay achievable in 9-minutes and 30 for Hastings Street.

Ascend the stairs and arrive at the light, bright open plan kitchen/living/dining where the breath-taking, intimate views of Noosa River and Woods Bay become immediately apparent. Soaring ceilings add to the sense of space, the recently upgraded kitchen providing an area to nourish family and friends whilst facilitating easy interaction.

The ensuited master with walk-in robe enjoys the same aspect as the living space. Sit in bed and welcome the new day whilst you sip that first coffee.

The main bathroom/laundry with separate powder provide separation from the remaining two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, with one bedroom having the added benefit of an enclosed balcony providing additional chill space.

The highlight, however, is the full-width, north-facing balcony where breakfast, sunset drinks, and dinners from the kitchen or the barbecue can be enjoyed.

Downstairs is every bit as appealing as upstairs.

The single lock-up garage, accessed from Noosa Parade by the secure gate, features an additional storage cage for kayaks, boards and bikes. An extra bonus is a second storage area which can be utilized as an owner’s lockup.

The grounds are immaculately maintained with access to both northfacing pools. A pontoon allows you to wet a line, launch watercraft or be picked up and dropped off by boat. All this is just a short, flat walk to Hastings Street with the eateries of Quamby Place, lucky to only be two minute’s stroll.

Penthouse 7 at ‘Commodore’ is truly a generational purchase, providing treasured memories for decades to come. Sold fully furnished for you to just unpack your bags or continue to holiday let. One lucky family will get the opportunity to create their future memories at Auction, Tuesday 1st March. ●

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

HEART OF SUNSHINE IT has been part and parcel of the Sunshine Beach landscape for as long as most of us can remember.

Next month the 486sq m site in the heart of Sunshine that was originally owned

by Tom and Lucy Flood is to go to auction.

On two titles and with four tenancies leased until 2023, the property at 36-38 Duke St is to go on the market for the first time in 34 years.

Brian Watson, who started as a real estate agent in 1973 and went out on his own five years later, bought the property in 1988.

“It was owned by Tom and Lucy, and the house beside it,’’ he said.

“They operated a post office, bank agency and newsagency from the store “Sammy’s take-away was downstairs, a pie shop, and two offices were upstairs.’’’

Centrally-located in Duke St, the site is improved with a two-level building comprising of two ground-level shops and two first-level offices.

Nick Dowling of Colliers International is taking the property to auction in-rooms at Sunshine Beach Surf Club on Friday, March 4, at midday.

Fully-leased and zoned Tourist Accommodation, the site provides buyers with the opportunity to take advantage of the 12-metre height limit, Mr Dowling said.

“Its proximity to the beach, surf club and surrounding amenity makes it a very appealing place to live, holiday and enjoy the unique cafes, restaurants and retail experiences the village offers.’’

Mr Dowling said the asset was fully leased to four tenants including well known local businesses Sunshine Beach Real Estate and Fratellini.

“All tenants have lease expiries in February 2023 which provides buyers with the ability to continue with the income stream on offer or redevelop the site.

“The retail village of Sunshine Beach only comprises five freehold lots and a handful of strata title shops.

“These offerings rarely come up for sale and the towns history of strong capital growth underpins why assets like this are such compelling assets to own.”

The site has rear access off Douglas Lane.

Mr Dowling said you only had to look next door to see what everyone wants ... amenity.

“Everything you can imagine is here … surfboards, bars, coffee shops, homewares, real estate “If you live in this area, the thing is to come here and have a coffee, something to eat and a drink at the surf club.’’ ●

A fully-leased 486sq m site over two titles zoned Tourist Accommodation at 36-38 Duke St, Sunshine Beach, is scheduled to go to auction in rooms at Sunshine Beach Surf Club on Friday, March 4, at 12noon.

A nicely distanced fully equipped cabin with separate access sits along the rear boundary. Perfect as passive income it carries an established Airbnb reputation of attracting holiday and extended term guests.

Set up from the street on level North South facing land, entry gardens frame very accommodating side by side three vehicle/ boat lock up automatic garage doors. A generous adjoining storage for your boards, bikes and extras handles all the coastal gear. The Polynesian influence of unique design draws light and open sky through

clerestory glass and living areas. Fittingly the original large double timber door swing wide to welcome you.

Lush border gardens and the scent of frangipani on the breeze open to a gallery of light and the soft underfoot feel of oak flooring. A star of the show is undoubtedly the Gull Brothers kitchen sporting all the goods. Guaranteed to ignite skills of the

home chef, deliciously thick stone benches and sit up servery are positioned to watch the action. Replete with Bosch gas cooktop, under bench oven and stainless sink, suspended timber tone concertina cupboards provide a nice contrast.

A mezzanine positioned main bedroom enjoys a private ensuite bathroom and a delightful northern balcony in the upper

canopy and viewing a lushly grassed rear yard. The garden level bedroom adjoins a full bathroom, with an eastern patio basked in wonderful first light.
