Clean up after the deluge The clean up is in full swing this week after residents and business owners across Noosa Shire had their properties inundated by floodwaters. Like his neighbours in Cooroy, Craig, with his cat, Pud, battled flooding for three consecutive nights. As the waters have receded he, like others, are now dealing with the loss of property, cleaning away the contaminated floodwater, assessing the damage and looking to the future. Read more on page 4

Flooded houses, businesses and cars, cut roads, swift water rescues, people left stranded, food shortages and death marked the past week as nature unleashed its fury on Noosa. Floodwaters came to within one tile width of entering the Gympie Terrace beach shack of its long term owner as he and dog, Misty, surveyed their water-filled garden, wishing sightseers would stop driving through the flooded

road, sending bow waves toward the property. Across the road from him, the Waterfront Restaurant had increased its water frontage, and boat hire businesses were inundated as the floodwaters spread across Gympie Terrace to the shops opposite, which were forced to close over the weekend. As the high tide peaked on Sunday morning, an Energex worker was finishing his night shift watching the water rise to just below the point on the power transformer that would

have signalled his need to switch off the power. Power had already been shut off to almost 70 Noosaville properties and 35 Noosa North Shore properties for safety reasons. On Hilton Terrace, Tewantin, as multiple motorists defied road closed signs to drive through the flooded street at the height of the tidal peak an A Black Towing driver watched and waited. He’d spent the past two days pulling out 15 cars, most in Pomona, that had been stranded or washed away after being

driven into flooded streets. “They float for a little bit, then submerge,” he said. “I don’t know why people try it.” The road was also shut for flooding at Shorehaven Drive, Noosa Waters. Some residents called out to motorists to stop or slow down as they drove through the floodwaters while others ventured out in kayaks and bikes. Continued pages 4-5

Offering a rare insight into his life and the waves he’s faced, West Australian slab wave surfer Kerby Brown’s new film will be on show at BCC Noosa on 10 March. Noosa Today had the chance to speak with the film’s star about why he’s obsessed with pitting himself against one of nature’s most intimidating forces, and now readers have the chance to win one of five double passes to the 90-minute documentary, Facing Monsters. Pitched as more than a surfing film, the documentary delves into Brown’s battles with addiction, his mental health, the healing power of the ocean, and the enduring love of family. “I’m super happy the film is going to be showing during the Noosa Surf Festival, so all the keen surf enthusiasts can get a look into my world over here in Western Australia, which is a fair bit different to your coastline,” Kerby said. “Noosa is a beautiful place and the coastline is amazing, and it’s such a contrast to our coast with different energy and breaks that we don’t seem to get much of over here.” The film is an unapologetic musing into the essence of Kerby and his family as we join them on his quest to ride a ferocious slab wave in the deep Southern Ocean that no one has surfed before.

“I’m a really private and reserved person, so it was a big decision to make this film, but I really thought by showing people a look into my world and how much the ocean has helped me throughout my life, that people would take a positive message out of the film,” he said. “The feedback has been amazing so far from the screenings we have. You don’t have to be a surfer to appreciate the film. “I hope the community enjoys the film and gets a glimpse into our world that most people would never get to see.” Growing up in the remote West Australian town of Kalbarri, family has always been core to Kerby’s life. As a junior champion and professional surfer, he chose to give up the chance to compete within the World Surfing Tour to follow his dream and ambition to surf some of the heaviest slab waves in the world. Kerby said for any young surfers looking to pursue slab waves, it was important to remember how risky it could be. “Riding these waves is such a dangerous thing to get into and the consequences are heavy,” he said. “I would never push anyone into it if they weren’t truly passionate about it. But if any up and coming kids are truly passionate about chasing and riding waves like that, I would 100 per cent encourage that. If that’s your passion, then sure, I would support that.” Featuring stunning cinematography by

As Noosa recovers from floods, considered by many I spoke to this week to be worse than the last one in 2011, it seems apt to look at the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change 2022 report that was released this week and the response of scientists to it. The report stresses an urgency of action as impacts of climate warming accelerate around the world. Put together by 300 scientists across 67 countries, the report spells out that climate change is already altering ecosystems, affecting physical and mental health, water security and food production, cities and infrastructure. The IPCC report says government must do more to cut emissions and cease the extraction and burning of fossil fuels this decade. Several Australian scientists have pointed to the recent flooding in south east Queensland and NSW as examples of more to come. ANU Emeritus Professor Will Steffen said events like unprecedented rainfall and flooding will only get worse. Researcher Dr Simon Bradshaw said communities are increasingly being hit by one disaster after another, like drought followed by fire, followed by flood, which is taking a heavy toll. And others agree the toll is impacting both the economy and public health. Health physician Dr Kate Charlesworth says failing to act will mean more lives lost from dangerous heat, drought, floods and bushfires.

From page 1 Businesses were shut and houses impacted by floodwaters as multiple storms and torrential rain descended on Noosa for almost a week in an onslaught that hit many people by surprise. Noosa’s Disaster Management Group came together Thursday, forming a coordination centre on Friday composed of multiple groups including Noosa Council, Queensland Police Service, Queensland Ambulance Service, Queensland Fire and Emergency Service, Coastguard, Energex, UnityWater, SLSC and Department of Community Services. Noosa police senior sergeant Ben Carroll said since the impact of the rains was felt on Thursday, Sunshine Coast police responded to more than 1030 jobs including 380 in the Noosa Shire. “A lot of people were requiring help. They were flooded in cars, stranded in flood water, water had inundated their homes,” he said. “There was a lot of traffic work managing the road network and closures. A lady died at Kenilworth. “A landslide on Black Mountain Road closed the road. Geotechnical officers inspected the occurrence and a lot of work will be required there. Ten people had to be evacuated from the area on Sunday. “There’s an issue with a private dam at Kin Kin. The dam wall has been compromised.” Sen Sgt Carroll said swift water rescues had been conducted over the weekend to assist a number of residents including those flooded on Lakes Entrance Boulevard and Ringtail Creek Road. Floods affected roads and properties across Noosaville, Tewantin, Cootharaba, Boreen Point, Pomona, Kin Kin and Cooroy with flood waters peaking Monday and Tuesday morning and were expected to subside over the following 24 hours. The town of Cooran was split in two by flooding for most of the week. The Bruce Highway south to Brisbane has been reduced to two lanes southbound and one lane northbound and police are asking people to avoid the highway except in emergency. Northbound to Gympie the Bruce Highway was expected to reopen on Wednesday. The Pomona-Kin Kin Road was closed after flooding of the swollen Six Mile Creek and engineers were required to inspect one-lane bridges before its reopening. Snr Sgt Carroll said the situation had led to shortages of fresh foods in local supermarkets with some shelves stripped bare but supplies were now coming through. On Sunday Mayor Clare Stewart warned residents in parts of Noosaville and Tewantin to prepare for inundation, with Noosa River set to peak at 1.7 metres by high tide. “Stay off the roads unless it’s critical,” Cr Stewart said. “If it’s flooded forget it. Some people have lost their lives. It’s tragic.” Snr Sgt Carroll said police told motorists to stay away from low lying areas and had issued fines to some drivers on Sunday who drove past road closed signs through floodwaters.

Clean up after drenching By Margie Maccoll “Ruined“ was how one business owner on Mary River Road, Cooroy, described his situation after three nights of flooding have forced him to shut down, while neighbouring residents spent sleepless nights protecting their property as floodwaters swirled around them. A few doors from the business, Craig, who lives in a ground floor apartment with his cat, Pud, woke, surrounded by water about 2.30am Wednesday last week. “I sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag on carpet. I woke up with water on my feet. When I realised, it was right through my apartment,“ he said. “The current knocked me into stuff. I sprained my ankle. “I ran out the front to see what was going on.“ In an upstairs apartment, Brandon had woken when his air-conditioning stopped working. “The whole road was flooded. It was kneedeep, the power was still on,“ he said. “I called out to Brandon (upstairs) to take my cat. I ended up saving a fair bit of gear - just lifted it up. But I lost carpets and quality furniture, Craig said. “Then we got hit again Thursday and Friday nights. “The first day was a bit of a shock. Now it’s let’s all tuck in and get the job done.“ Craig has spent days cleaning out the contaminated flood water, ripping up carpets, washing and salvaging what he can. When the sun came out on Monday, he was able to move items outside to dry, all under the watchful eye of Pud. A few doors up, Sunlight Aqarium and Holistic Pet Products is holding a flood sale - everything must go. “I’ve been here about 11 years,“ Paul said.

Nev Evans was relocated from flooding at the RV stop.

“I’ve had the shop for five years. I’ve got no flood insurance. I’m closing down. I can’t rebuild. We didn’t see this one coming. It’s been flooded before but not as bad as this one.“ After the first night of flooding Paul and his neighbours, who live upstairs, worked to clean out the shop. Then worse floods came Thursday and Friday nights. “We were all evacuated Friday morning,“ neighbour Chantelle said. “They dumped us off in the main street.“ Next door resident Danielle and her brother and property owner, Ward, went to great lengths to save their house and it worked.

On their way back to Doonan after a trip around Australia the couple, along with others in the stopover, have relocated temporarily to the Pirates carpark. “The Chamber of Commerce president visited us to say we can stay here as long as we like. The police came to see if we’d been able to get food and supplies,“ he said. It’s part of the journey for the self-sufficient campers.

Before the floods arrived they sandbagged the entrances. Then when rain started to pour down on the front of the house, Ward spent Wednesday building a roof over the front pergola. Every night they cleaned and mopped to keep the water at bay. When water started streaming inside, Ward knocked a hole in the back wall for it to escape. “There was water in there, a nice little river. We put the effort in to keep it dry,“ Ward said. Around the corner, campers at the RV stopover were visited by SES about 4.30am

Joy tries to dry out her garage after flood inundation.

Mess in wake of floods By Margie Maccoll It’s the invasive mud and the smell, an earthy, sewage mix, that once experienced is never forgotten, that faced a half dozen Lakes Entrance residents who were cleaning up on Sunday after flood waters inundated their houses. Shaun Wilson woke at 4am Saturday and stepped from his bed into almost knee-deep water that smelt like the toilet had overflowed. “I was concerned about the power (being on) and putting my feet in the water,” he said. He quickly made his way through the murky interior to the power box to shut it off. The fast-moving current down his street had smashed through his front door leaving

it in two pieces. It had knocked over his motorbike leaving it a write-off. It had destroyed his furniture, his children’s toys and most of his possessions. Shaun moved to Noosa 14 months ago from Sydney with his wife and three children and rented the house (a lucky find after 19 rental applications). Fortunately his wife and children, aged seven, four and two, were enjoying a “getaway weekend in Sydney”. “We’re very lucky the three kids weren’t here,” he said. “The baby’s bed went under.” Shaun’s first thought Saturday morning was for his 80-year-old neighbour, Joy, and he dashed next door.

The SES got a boat out and took Joy out of her house, he said. “In two hours we had the water come though the houses and back out again,” he said. “Fourteen cars in the street got flooded and were taken away.” Shaun said people from the community had been very helpful. The landlord who had only lived in the house a year prior to renting it had come to help them clean and offered the family a granny flat to stay in temporarily. Joy has lived in the street for the past 20 years and went through a previous flood 10 years earlier.

“It was worse this time,” she said, and being 10 years older and having recently undergone a cataract operation didn’t help. Joy said she’d lose all her furniture, some that was irreplaceable. “It ruins everything,” she said. “My beautiful bedroom is buggered.” With the help of a friend she was cleaning the mud out of the house and moving her possessions. She hopes someone will come to her aid and that her insurance will cover temporary accommodation costs. “There’s no mud army in Noosa,” she said. “And I can’t sleep here.”

Messages from Ukraine Five days after the Russian invasion into Ukraine began, texts have been received by local members of the Sunshine Coast Oriana choir from a family in Kyiv they met during a choir tour in Rome in 2019. Now living in an underground shelter in the country’s capital, the family has limited internet or access to media reports but have provided a glimpse into their war-affected lives and the information they are receiving of events unfolding above them. A couple of days ago a fourth-grade girl named Polina and her parents were shot dead by Russian saboteurs, they said. The saboteurs shot the whole family. Polina and her parents died while her sister and brother are in ICU. “It happened on Olena Teliga Street, near Babyn Yar, where 80 years ago Nazi villains also killed entire families, including young children,” they said. “The whole world should know this. Putin and his orcs are not interested in our views, age or gender. They are killing us because we are a free country of free people. This is a war for our lives and freedom.” In their underground community, that also contains an underground hospital, information circulates about the invasion. They have heard media reports of Russian civilians opposing the war but have also been told of acts of opposition by Russian soldiers. Russian soldiers fled into the forest after their armoured vehicles became stuck in mud and Ukrainians have cheered on the roadside as Russian tanks were turned back.

Noosa Coast Guard has come to the rescue of people stranded on Noosa North Shore with the Noosa North Shore Ferry out of action due to flooding. Commander Ian Hutchins said the Coast Guard planned to ferry about 30 people including a pregnant woman and newborn baby from the north shore to Noosa Marina on Tuesday and expected to continue the service as required. “We’re just getting anybody who’s stuck,” he said. A group of almost 20 people who had booked into Beach Road Holiday Homes to celebrate a 60th birthday left some of the group at the resort to bring back vehicles, when the ferry service is reinstated, while most of them hitched a ride with the Coast Guard. They said while their stay was marked by heavy rain, there hadn’t been any flooding and SES and OzHarvest had dropped off food supplies which were becoming scarce with flooding preventing deliveries. One woman said she’d been concerned about her return home when the ferry shutdown kept extending.

Commander Hutchins said during the extreme weather the Coast Guard had also been busy halting vessels that had drifted free of their anchors in the swift current of the river. In one incident a 40ft catamaran wedged itself across the bow of a houseboat. “We managed to get it off and re-anchored it upstream,” he said. “The river is running so fast at the moment.”

Anchoring limits needed By Phil Jarratt While our brown and overflowing river had other things on its mind last week, a significant number of Noosa River stakeholders were building a head of steam over what they perceive as Maritime Safety Queensland’s failure to act on some of the biggest issues facing the river. And, although some believe that a reduction of the powered craft speed limit is at the top of that list, an overwhelming majority cite our lack of a time limit on anchoring as the most pressing problem. As reported in Noosa Today on 12 August last year, the Noosa River Stakeholders Advisory Committee (NRSAC) recommended adoption of a 28-day anchoring limit each year. MSQ undertook to provide a detailed outline of a program for consultation, review and refinement of proposed regulations at the following committee meeting. But, as one angry stakeholder told Noosa Today: “Six months have gone by, and the committee is still waiting. So is the Noosa community. Some waterways in Queensland have controls over where vessels can anchor, and the length of time they can anchor. Not in Noosa. There’s no time limit, that’s why the number of vessels is continuing to increase. Our river is being used as a graveyard for wrecks and a parking lot for other vessels, many of them providing cheap holidays for their out-of-town owners.” Nick Hluszko, chairman of the NRSAC subcommittee, agreed there was increasing frustration and disillusionment amongst river stakeholders at MSQ’s failure to act on anchoring. Another stakeholder, who did not wish to be named, expanded on that sentiment: “There are a growing number of committee members, and those that they represent or connect with, who feel there is little tangible evidence of positive change happening. What

Boats temporarily anchored off riverfront holiday rentals are not the target. the subcommittee is very worried about is that its very first recommendations for river use anchoring, mooring and live-aboard vessels - will be bogged down or put in the too hard basket and that nothing happens.” The river advisory committee was established by Noosa Council and MSQ at the instigation of Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton in early 2021, and was initially met with a tide of optimism. As one committee member told Noosa Today: “Contrary to the expectations of ongo-

ing friction between old enemies, we actually found that we could put our differences aside and work together to solve the problems of the river.” Other river stakeholders have praised Noosa Council for its active response to early recommendations on cleaning up the river bank of unauthorised structures and works in the Frying Pan area. But one asked: “When can the community expect action from MSQ on the ongoing proliferation of anchored and unattended vessels?” In a statement to Noosa Today, MSQ general manager Kell Dillon reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to the river. “As co-chair of the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee with Noosa Shire Council, MSQ is committed to addressing all concerns raised by community members for the Noosa River. “Factors to be considered for waterways management are complex, and banning, or placing restrictions on, activities such as anchoring in one waterway may have implications for others. Any regulatory changes require broad community engagement. Freedom of passage and, safe and equal access to the waterways are key considerations.“ Mr Dillon went on to outline programs and activities already implemented for the Noosa River, including establishing a dedicated Noosa Marine Officer position, increased presence on the waterways through the Maritime Enforcement Team in coordination with partner agencies, and a review of buoy moorings on the river. He added that MSQ was also seeking public feedback on the proposal to reduce speed limits on the busy downstream reaches of the river and had written to key stakeholders. Noosa Today understands some NRSAC members believe MSQ’s decision to look at speed limit reductions first is that such changes can be made at a local or regional MSQ man-

agement level - the low hanging fruit, as it were - whereas the other changes involve legislation that affects all Queensland waterways except those which have their own unique provision under the Act, such as the Gold Coast Waterways. This means unless separate legislation is also passed for the Noosa River, any changes have to be state-wide. As MSQ’s Kell Dillon suggests, changing maritime law is not simple and carries with it the risk that anything that changes here could transfer the problem elsewhere. For example, vessels dumped on anchor in the river today might end up behind K’gari or in the Maroochy or Mooloolah Rivers, or behind Bribie Island - the desirable waterways of South East Queensland. But river stakeholders are concerned the bureaucratic process is being used as an excuse to do nothing. Said one: “Meanwhile, Noosa’s reality is that anchoring problems are growing at a significant rate, with the most popular spots, such as Woods Bay and Hilton Esplanade, getting worse almost by the week.” Noosa Today understands there is a genuine concern that unless legislative changes to anchoring are made with a sense of urgency here, not only will the damage be done, but fixing things will be significantly more difficult and expensive in the future. Mr Hluszko said while MSQ has had to deal with Covid-related issues and staff and management changes, including a new chief executive officer, the Noosa community had reasonable expectations of receiving a clear pathway for positive change in the management of anchoring in the river very soon. The full committee of the NRSAC is expected to discuss the issues with MSQ at their next meeting on 9 March. People can email MSQNoosa@tmr.qld.gov. au for further details or have their say. Consultation is open until 16 March.

The battle of Poona Lake By Phil Jarratt The perched lake of Poona is set to become the decisive battleground as conservation and community groups push hard to stop or at least modify the commercial Cooloola Great Walk. This magnificent lake at the northern end of the Cooloola Recreation area, hemmed by a white sand beach of cultural significance to the Traditional Owners as a one-time Kabi Kabi birthing site, and part of the Noosa River catchment, is currently slated to be one of five commercial glamping sites to be developed by CABN Pty Ltd, a South Australian-based ecotourism operator. Most concerning in the eyes of its opponents, Poona is one of two much bigger sites on the proposed commercial walk (the other being Double Island Point) that will host 10 large cabins and a communal dining area over half a hectare. The entire CABN proposal has been greenlighted by the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC) after an assessment last year of its Matters of National Environmental Significance, and the Federal Environment Minister advising that the project was not considered a “controlled action” under the Act, meaning that no further Commonwealth assessment was required. While the project still has several statebased approvals to get through in a pathway almost as tricky as parts of the walk itself, Noosa/Wide Bay Greens spokesperson Rhonda Prescott was the first local environmentalist to call out the Queensland government for deceiving the public about its scope. Last year she told Noosa Today: “Initial publicity about the Cooloola Great Walk Ecotourism Project suggested tiny glamping-style tents complementing the Great Walk. Impacts on the environment, we were assured, would be minimal.

“Now that the community consultation and information phase of the project has ended, it’s clear that the reality will be quite different. The consultation exercise has been inadequate, with many unanswered questions. “Basic information is lacking on crucial issues – the number of vehicle movements in areas which now see very few, the amount of revenue which flows back to the State Government, the impact of the proposal on current low-impact visitors, and the possibility

of a massive expansion of the project in the future.” This week Ms Prescott reiterated her fears about the Great Walk: “Firstly, the very name ecotourism implies ecological sensitivity but is often used to greenwash developments that are in fact ecologically damaging. I am sure that the environmentalists that you are contacting will fill you in on their concerns about the construction of 10 large cabins on a hillside just 60 metres from Lake Poona, construc-

tion of an access road and other environmental impacts. “Secondly, the fact that there seems to be conflict between Queensland Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon, who actually does seem to have a genuine interest in preserving our natural environment, and pro-development Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe. It was interesting to learn that Hinchliffe was a lobbyist for the Rainbow Shores Stage Two development at Inskip Point.

“A third controversial aspect is the involvement [in the Great Walk project] of Brian Warner, a director of the Kabi Kabi Peoples Aboriginal Corporation and the inference that this body is speaking for and representing all Kabi Kabi people... suffice to say that there does not appear to be unanimous support.” Later last year, as details about the campsite locations began to emerge, veteran ecocrusader Greg Wood, a resident of Rainbow Beach at the edge of Cooloola Recreation Area for 40 years, saw that a call to arms was becoming necessary, first through local pamphleteering and then with an ambitious website called Protect Our Parks, which expresses the broad view that private enterprise should not be allowed on our national parks and demonstrates the point through closer examination of what is now happening in our own backyard. To understand the fiery passion that Greg brings to this crusade, you need to know a little of his background. Originally from Adelaide, he was making his way to Cairns with a mate in the early ‘80s when he dropped into Rainbow Beach, got drunk in the pub and slept on the beach. He recalls: “My first morning waking up in the sand dunes with a hangover I looked out at the ocean and about 20 metres out was a whale and its calf. Then I looked down towards Double Island Point and it was just stunning. I ended up spending three years at DI, working intermittently on upgrading the lighthouse. You could camp there legally in those days.” Greg fell in love with a town built on sand mining, and was soon campaigning against it. He says: “I was developing an environmental consciousness back then, but it really kicked in when I got married and we went down south and started a recycling business on the Northern Rivers. We came back to the Sunshine Coast in ‘95 and were horrified at the extent of the development so we kept going back to Rainbow, and it was like we never left.” But change was on the horizon, and Greg became part of a small core of residents opposing the proposed developments in Rainbow and Tin Can Bay that would bring 30,000 residents into their little paradise. Now, more than a quarter-century later, he’s back in the trenches.

On the Great Walk. He says: “In my semi-retirement I started working on Cooloola Coast projects and a community website and that led to Protect Our Parks. The notion of private development on public land really rankled with me, but you wouldn’t believe the arguments that I had over whether we should talk about anything beyond our particular park. It occurred to me that we needed people to support us from beyond our region, beyond the state, so we’ve tried to achieve a balance on the site. “One of the things I find very concerning about the Great Walk project is that they seem to have taken commercial in confidence far beyond any normal constructs. It’s become a smokescreen. I understand that some of the negotiations are delicate and need to be kept confidential, but people need to be given a clearer idea of what is going on. “Let’s put aside the issue of private development in national parks for a moment and say we’re going to allow that. Wouldn’t you at least then keep the sites away from the fragile ecosystems of Poona and the Noosa River?” On the Protect Our Parks website you can find a healthy list of supporter groups, including Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) and the Mary River Catchment Committee, both of which have expressed great concern over the campsites proposed for Poona

Picture: DES and on the Noosa River. Perhaps less well known on the list is a group called Keep Cooloola Cool, the brainchild of Noosa-based architect Matt Noffke and a few friends, colleagues and family. But don’t let its size fool you. KCC means business and its founder is passionate about protecting the park. A petition he organised and which closed last month received more than 5000 signatures. He says: “We set up Keep Cooloola Cool because no one else was prepared to talk about the issues. No one seemed to know what was going on, even people like us. We have a nature refuge that adjoins the park at Elanda Point, and to be honest we were somewhat comfortable with the idea of simple glamping tents going in, but two years ago we didn’t know what we know now. “If they’d done a proper consultation we wouldn’t have ended up where we are at. The community would be seeing more benefit, the Kabi Kabi would benefit more. We still haven’t seen plans of what they propose to build on these sites, including Poona Lake. Even the descriptions in the documentation are misleading and contradictory. “We know that plans exist because they’ve been through EPBC, and they should be in the public domain considering the park is a public asset.”

NEWS

Over the Christmas break, Matt and his architectural intern Laura created an alternative business proposal focussing on an Indigenous interpretive centre in an existing building at Elanda Point from which tours could radiate out. Says Matt: “That was just one idea of many which the Kabi Kabi could develop and help prosper, and it doesn’t need a third party commercial operator. Keep Cooloola Cool will keep fighting on the issues. We’re not just a pop-up part of the Protect Our Parks petition campaign. “We think the proposal is so inappropriate that we’ll fight, and we’ve been working in the background for some time. We had a community day at Boreen Point where we presented the background to the proposal more than five months ago. We’ll continue our efforts to create greater awareness of what is really going on in Cooloola.” At the time of writing, the Protect Our Parks petition to Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon had more than 2500 signatures and was growing daily. Meanwhile, seasoned campaigner Greg Wood was continuing to lobby politicians and media. When Noosa Today spoke to him last month he had just returned from guiding Brisbane News reporter Tony Moore around Poona Lake. Moore was so impressed by its beauty, fragility and significance that he launched an ongoing campaign in his paper. On 15 February he reported that Minister Scanlon said she had not been briefed on ecological concerns raised by her department in the March 2021 Cooloola Great Walk Ecotourism Trail Proposed Site Selection report. “After meetings with her department on the controversy, Ms Scanlon in the afternoon said she had requested more details,” Moore wrote. He quoted the Minister as saying: “I have today been briefed more broadly on the Cooloola proposal, but I have asked my department to brief me in detail on the options around the site selection. Ultimately we want to get the balance right, selecting sites which protect Cooloola’s world-class environment, but in ways the world wants to experience.” Read more about the Cooloola campaign at protectparks.net and keep-cooloola-cool.org

Playground tribute push By Rod Richie Cara Area Residents Association president In December 1981, Cooroy was hit by a drowning cluster which made the national news. Four people were electrocuted in Cooroy Creek, just to the right of the Mary River Road bridge at the bottom of Maple Street. Unbeknownst to local residents living, nearby, power lines that had fallen into the water after a storm were live. Looking for some adventure in this popular swimming hole, Derek Lange, 11, and Shayne Parker, 9, launched their homemade raft into the swollen creek. They died instantly when they grabbed hold of the wires. June Lange, 30, Derek’s mother, was electrocuted when she dived into the narrow creek to go to their aid. Ricky von Blankensee, 18, was also killed when he went into the water to help. A Cooroy resident remembers: “It was devastating for everyone as they were a beautiful, well-known local family. The father worked as a supervisor at both the sawmills so was known by everyone and he was a fair and hard-working man who rarely had a bad word said about him. Parents and adults, who had to be restrained on the river banks while they watched, were left damaged for life.” The electricity authority, SEQEB held an inquiry and recommendations included a review of safety and all power poles in the shire, regular inspection procedures, and new protocols for liaison with SES and all emergency services. Works were undertaken to ensure such an accident never happened again, including filling in the water hole and building new power lines over the creek. In June, 1982, Terrance Lange and George Parker became recipients of the Bravery Medal for the attempted rescue of the four people from the electrified creek. Remembering the event At the Cooroy Hinterland Playground External

Cooroy hinterland playground underwater last week. Reference Group, 28 September 2019, CARA received this reply from Council to a suggestion that Council allowed a memorial to the event in the playground. Memorial plaques in the playground: Council’s policy on plaques is currently under review. Formal applications will not be addressed until the policy is adopted by Council, providing a set of criteria and a clear process. Challenges include the fact that some memorials may be significant to immediate families but not the wider community. Certain memorials may also make the lives of first responders difficult. Plaques within community spaces maybe

applicable for persons who have made a significant contribution to the community. Recently, Noosa Council rejected an application by the local newspaper, The Cooroy Rag, to erect a memorial plaque because, “it doesn’t meet the criteria of a significant historical or cultural event.” The suggestion that this tragic event in Cooroy was not a significant cultural or historical event for the town is soundly rejected by the community. On the Cooroy Community Noticeboard Facebook Page, over 180 residents agreed that a memorial plaque on a bench seat, adjacent to the place where the accident happened, would be most appropriate. There were no dissenting views.

Comments included: “Love it how all areas of government are trying to erase history as though it never existed. You can’t keep shielding people from the truth. People need to know about history, talk about it, question it and learn from it, not erase it altogether. What right do they have to ignore it.” “Such a sad event and I remember it vividly. As long as the families agree, I think a memorial of some kind should be erected. It is part of the history of Cooroy and the resilience of the community.” “That’s a very poor decision on the part of the Council. All I can say is shame on them, what a weak excuse, ‘it doesn’t meet the criteria of a significant historical or cultural event’. It was the loss of lives in a tragedy that touched all in the community at the time and for many since. I know I never go past the area, even now with the new playground being built, and not remember that sad day.” Originally a timber town, by 1902 Cooroy consisted of a collection of huts and tents of timber workers clustered around the railway, and in 1907 the town was surveyed and the land opened for selection. Fenwicks sawmill was built in 1908, and a school opened in 1909 with 67 pupils. The town flourished and dairying joined timber harvesting as a major industry. The Butter Factory, built in1915 to service surrounding dairy farms, closed in 1975, as the industry became unprofitable. The farms were subdivided into small residential blocks, and the town was revitalized with education, services and retail as its base. It has grown significantly in the past 10 years to become a vibrant hinterland hub. Just last week floodwaters inundated the almost finished playground. It was a timely reminder that nature takes as much as it gives. And it is certainly an appropriate time for those four townsfolk be properly remembered. They really are part of our history and their tragic story is etched in our culture.

Honouring Joyce By Susie Osmaston

Joyce and her lamb, New Zealand, 2000. Pictures: SUPPLIED

Once a very notable Noosan, Joyce Atter-Freer died on 23 February in England, with her beloved son Rodger Macdonald at her bedside. At the grand old age of 102, she outlived most of her contemporaries. But a younger generation will recall her leading role in the Noosa Lionesses’ irreverent performances at Noosa Arts in such theatrical triumphs as CinderFella. Joyce was also the driving force behind the Cinderella Op shops and fashion parades, raising money for the Cancer Fund. Joyce and her then partner Robert Clark arrived in Sunshine Beach from New Zealand in the 1980s. After Robert’s death Joyce shifted to Noosa Heads and eventually met and married former New Zealand politician Warren Freer.

Joyce (right) enjoys a riverside lunch with writer and friend Susie Osmaston. They moved to New Zealand and when Warren died, Joyce decided to return to her native England to be closer to her son.

Her 100th birthday party made the local press. Joyce lived a very full and active life, being the first female social worker to work in male prisons and the instigator of New Zealand’s Meals on Wheels organisation. As the 100th birthday newspaper article recorded, she was also very proud of having been a sex counsellor, and having run an extremely upmarket dress shop in Brighton at the end of World War II. Very much an original, Joyce lived by her own rules and was a refreshingly free spirit, ignoring age, gender and petty niceties. She made the world a happier place for many people, even spending her last few years creating greeting cards - the proceeds benefiting a charity for cats. A hundred-plus years, and not a second wasted.

Make a difference with Clean up Noosa Sunday 6 March is the date for Clean Up Australia Day 2022 when thousands of Australians wage war on rubbish and litter lying in their parks, streets, forests, creeks and beaches. Across Noosa hundreds of volunteers will gear up with gloves and sacks and join in at one of the local Clean Up Australia Day sites. Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) is all set for Clean Up Australia Day with 15 locations around the Noosa Biosphere where you can join local volunteers to get involved. Sites are advertised in the local papers and online at noosariver.com.au, or you can search for a site near you at cleanupaustraliaday.org.au

There are 12 locations across the Noosa region where the public can turn up and register on the day to be a part of the Clean Up. All Hinterland towns are involved as usual including Boreen Point, Kin Kin, Cooran, Federal, Pomona and Cooroy with sites also located in Tewantin, Tinbeerwah, Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach, Noosaville Boat Ramp and Woods Bay at the end of Hastings St. Clean Up Australia Day in Noosa would not be a success without the generous support of the Noosa Shire Council, local businesses and community volunteers. All volunteers registered at Noosa sites will again go into the draw for prizes generously donated by The Sofitel Noosa and Pep-

pers Resort and Spa. “Our Clean Up Day is also proudly supported by Cleanaway and Allcott Hire to ensure that all the waste is disposed of properly,” 2022 Clean Up Australia Day Noosa Region volunteer coordinator Joe Jurisevic said. “Volunteers are welcome to join us for lunch at Noosaville Lions Park provided by the Noosa Lions Club after the event or at one of the barbecues being hosted at other sites.” Everyone is welcome to put on a hat, grab some gloves and bring a water bottle, and Step Up to Clean Up at one of the registration sites near you to be a part of Clean Up Australia Day in Noosa from 8am on Sunday 6 March.

Across Noosa, hundreds of volunteers will gear up with gloves and sacks and join in at one of the local Clean Up Australia Day sites.

Picnic with women’s shed By Abbey Cannan In celebration of International Women’s Shed Week, the local not-for-profit group empowering women will be hosting a Picnic in the Park. Noosa Women’s Shed invites all women to join them on Sunday 6 March at noon in front of the stage area of Noosaville Lions Park, Noosa River. With hopes of securing a permanent location in Noosa, Noosa Women’s Shed president Robyn Sanders said the celebration will raise awareness of their existence and gain community support. “Noosa Women’s Shed is now in its fourth temporary location since becoming incorporated in 2018 as a not-for-profit organisation,”

Ms Sanders said. “We are about empowering, uniting, and supporting women with tool-based skills for continued growth and independence. “As yet we have not been able to find a suitable space despite many approaches to various groups and levels of government.” The group is currently in the process of putting together a proposal to establish a permanent shed on Council land. “However, we need the community’s help to achieve this,” Ms Sanders said. “We recently asked our Facebook and other followers to complete a short survey to demonstrate our wide-spread community support. This will enable us to be taken seriously by all levels of government.”

Find the survey at surveymonkey.com/ r/77VB86S “The women of Noosa Shire deserve a permanent shed of their own,” she said. “A space which will cater for the diversity of skills our increase in numbers will demand.” Noosa Women’s Shed plans to offer women a variety of skills enabling them to undertake tasks such as basic carpentry including repairing and building timber structures or furniture, fine metalwork, welding, and basic house maintenance. “Through undertaking these activities, we can then have fun sharing while having a positive impact on the physical and mental health and wellbeing of our members,” Ms Sanders said.

Noosa Women’s Shed thanked the following groups who are supportive in their quest to find a suitable permanent home: Sandy Bolton, Commonwealth Bank Noosa Heads Branch, Noosa FM, Noosa Men’s Shed, Rotary, Noosa Shire Council, Sunshine Coast Council and Nell from Coolum Women’s Shed. For more information visit noosawomensshed.com.au or on Facebook search for NoosaWomensShed. Noosa Women’s Shed next meeting is on 5 March from 1.30pm at 1 Ferrells Rd, Cooroy (Cooroy Village). Members over the age of 18 are welcome. Picnic in the Park attendees are encouraged to bring their own picnic food, beverages, chair, or picnic rug.

Through a passion for everything Subaru, Miles possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience.

The latest addition to the team, Leon, started his apprenticeship in 2003 working in the same dealership as Miles, Angie and Mitsubishi Master Technician, Lucas. “He finished his time in the dealership world in mid-2021 to join us at AM Auto Services,” Angie said.

The Hotseat with Rip Curl CEO Brooke Farris

CEO who made history To say that the surf industry was rocked last August when Australia’s pioneer surf company, Rip Curl, announced its first woman chief executive officer in its 52-year history is something of an understatement. “A sign that surfing is moving away from its gender-bullying past,” is how surf journalist Nick Carroll described the epoch-making appointment. “It’s about bloody time,” said seven-times world champion Layne Beachley. But former pro surfer Brooke Farris, the history-making appointee, was much more than an affirmative action call by the famously blokey surf brand whose founders sold to New Zealand-based outdoors group Kathmandu for $350 million in 2019. Since dropping out of uni in 1999 to join the women’s qualifying tour, the one-time Australian junior champion from Western Australia has spent two decades proving her ability in business and people management, starting with becoming Beachley’s manager in 2002, following up with several years running the women’s ASP world tour, before moving into executive roles with her long-time surf sponsor Rip Curl in 2010. Just six months into the CEO job, Farris has already impressed the business world with her sharp mind and easy-going style, and at 41, she is still ripping and shredding in the surf. PHIL JARRATT put her in the NT Hotseat just a few days ahead of her appearance with Layne Beachley at the Noosa Festival of Surfing’s SurfAid charity fundraiser today (Friday 4 March). Is it true that you and Layne cried into your phones after you were announced CEO of Rip Curl? No crying, but we were both very excited. It wasn’t really an emotional journey for me though. I just thought, well, they’ve put their trust in me and I have to do the best job I possibly can. Were you surprised by the appointment? I won’t say I was entirely surprised. I felt I’d put my best foot forward during the interview process and I was really comfortable with that, figuring if I didn’t get it then I simply wasn’t the right person for the job. I focussed on the process, not the outcome. When my boss told me I’d got the job, Victoria was back in lockdown so I just had to take a deep breath and tell myself, right, this is actually happening now and I need to focus on the job ahead. But there was a 24-hour window where I got to enjoy the moment with friends. So you’re making history as the company’s first female CEO and you can’t even call your team together! Did Covid make it difficult to find your feet? Yes. The whole Rip Curl culture, around Australia, around the world, is built on personal relationships. That’s what keeps the brand strong. Our head office in Torquay, Victoria had always led the way in that, so it was an incredibly tough time for our crew, but I think they were outstanding in the way they handled remote communication and kept everything going so smoothly. Fortunately for me, my 11plus years working at Rip Curl meant that I had a lot of relationships already in place, which made it easier. I was announced as CEO in August and we weren’t back in the office until November, and even then it was recommended that you worked from home if you could. Now that has been removed, it gave me such pleasure to send out an email saying, see you all at the office on Monday, no face masks! In the middle of the Covid period the surfboard industry was in an unexpected boom. Did that cross over into surfwear and wetsuits? Yes, Rip Curl has had two very positive years during the pandemic. We were lucky that surfing was one sport you could still do, and there was a huge lift in hardware sales that we were able to capitalise on and gain momentum from and continue promoting the brand. For example, the Rip Curl WSL Finals series in California last year was a huge initiative for us. I’m relieved to hear that you and the CFO 18 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 March, 2022

didn’t have to strip back the marketing budget. (Laughs) We were very creative. And we made sure we put our money in the right places. You mentioned the Rip Curl corporate culture which, in my experience, mostly from the early days, was always very blokey. Had that changed before you came on board a dozen years ago? Yes, it’s certainly changed over the years, but it’s a hard one for me to answer because I grew up with two older brothers, so blokey is kind of normal for me. I’ve always had great relationships with the men at Rip Curl and I think I’m able to bridge the gaps and soften that perception of a maledominated workplace. What’s the ratio of men to women in the executive ranks? We have eight people on our executive team and four are women. One of the women is off on maternity leave at the moment and she’s being covered by a male, but normally we’re 50/50. What was your role at Rip Curl before you became CEO? I was the general manager of the women’s division, a position that was created because of our strategy to focus on the growth of the women’s brand. I was asked to super-charge it.

It seems from the outside that most of your career has been built around the sport of surfing. Was manager of women’s a stepping stone to prepare you to lead a half-billion dollar revenue global company? I actually think that the stepping stone was my role prior to managing women’s, when I was general manager of digital. That was five years ago, and it was an area of the business that was underdone and not one that we were fully across, so it was a big challenge for me to learn that side, build a team and look to where we wanted to be in digital in the future in both sales and marketing. You’re coming to Noosa with your old mate and former boss Layne Beachley, who says that your actual job was managing her life. Can you give us a brief insight into how that worked? Oh gosh, I’m not sure I can be brief about that! It was a fantastic way to spend my early 20s, to be working alongside an elite athlete who was at her peak in a sport that I loved too. And it was such a broad field, from managing Layne to taking care of media, to running the Beachley Classic surfing event, to producing and directing a DVD for her, to working on her Reach For The Stars Foundation. I was getting this amazing education in so many areas, while travelling the world and surfing. It was never my goal, it just came about totally unplanned.

It was meant to be for a few months and it went for six years, and I’m so thankful for everything I learnt over that period. We all know that Layne doesn’t take no for an answer! Were there any flashpoints? (Laughs) I think I have a fairly amenable personality. I knew when to lean in and when not to. We struck the right balance between friendship and business, and all these years later we’re still friends. The story I love is that when you were running the women’s tour for the ASP you had to call her out for using offensive language. Please tell me that’s true? It is. It was at the Bells Beach Classic, and while being interviewed she used the f… word, complaining about the beach announcer telling her competitors that there was a set of waves coming. I was pretty new as tour manager but I had to tell her, friendship aside, that I had to reprimand her and she was not to do that again. I’m sure she took it with good grace. Yes, but she brings it up a lot. (Laughs) Brooke Farris and Layne Beachley will be in conversation with Nick Carroll at the SurfAid Charity Fundraiser at the Beach Bar, Main Beach, 4-8pm, Friday 4 March (today).

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

Businesswoman inspires By Abbey Cannan Window coverings specialist and local business manager Samantha Hardt says International Women’s Day is a day for women to build each other up. The Noosa mum knows a thing or two about multi-tasking as she spends her days running Serene Blinds and Awnings with her husband Rene, in between running after her kids. “It can be busy and hectic at times, with a lot of multi-tasking, but I enjoy the rewards it brings, including opportunities to learn, develop connections and contribute where I can,” she said. “I’m fortunate to have a talented and supportive team which allows me to work flexible hours around school, school holidays and other activities.” Samantha said International Women’s Day on Tuesday 8 March was a day to show appreciation for the various contributions and sacrifices women make. “It’s also a reminder to honour those who paved the way for us, and of the importance of being a positive role model to others around us,” she said. “In lifting each other up we work towards something greater than ourselves, creating a sense of connection and also a better future.” In the five years since her family planted their roots in Noosa, they’ve received wonderful support and feedback from the community. Serene Blinds and Awnings is a familyowned Luxaflex Window Fashions Gallery, owned and operated by the local couple, who have a combined 20 years of experience in the industry. Their showroom, based in Noosaville has the full range of Luxaflex interior and exterior products on display, bringing the latest innovations in window covering solutions to the Sunshine Coast. “Noosa has a great community spirit, and

sign elements can evoke, as well as the functional benefits of clever design within an interior space,” she said. “I never cease to be amazed and inspired by the new ideas that keep evolving, and am very glad to be associated with a brand such as Luxaflex that are leaders in design.” The team loves seeing homes in the community transformed with beautiful and practical window treatments. “Our service includes a free in-home consultation to all areas of the Sunshine Coast, from Caloundra to Maroochydore, Buderim, Coolum, Noosa and surrounds,” Samantha said. “So whether it be blinds, shutters, awnings or curtains, our experienced team will take the time to find out what you need so that we can tailor a solution that suits your lifestyle.” Find Luaflex Gallery Sunshine Coast – Serene Blinds and Awnings at 7/1 Selkirk Drive, Noosaville.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Trying to break the bias By Ingrid Jackson The global theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is Break the Bias. When things began to change in the 1960s, I naively thought women would no longer experience inequality, discrimination and harassment. Recent revelations about Parliament House, corporates, and competitive sports are dismaying and shine a spotlight on what is still going on. I moved to Australia in 1977 and was astonished to find women’s rights nowhere near as advanced as in Canada. I was amazed that banks would not give women housing loans. I met women forced to quit their jobs when marrying someone working in the same firm. I got an interview for a job at a Church of England school and was told they could not offer me the role because I was pregnant and a mother’s place was in the home. These were examples of indirect systemic discrimination, embedded in policies, rules and practice. I pursued a career and in those early years my young son went to family day care. Even though the family day care mum earned money that way, she did not approve of my working fulltime. So deep was the cultural bias. And even at neighbourhood barbecues, the men clustered apart from their womenfolk. This felt strange. At that time there was a lot of advocacy and state governments enacted anti-discrimination legislation which began to make a difference. I did not experience any direct discrimination at work. Nevertheless, by mid-career I had reached a glass ceiling. A factor was that, as a mother of young children, I always left the office at 5pm to get to the childcare centre. So while the blokes networked after work over a glass of wine or beer, I was packing the nappies, bottles and baby on the way home. My contribution to the feminist cause was not aggressive. Rather, I was determined to show that a woman could have a career and also be a wife and mother. I forged ahead, juggling it all. I was tired but happy. It felt like women had broken through and were becoming equals. But direct and systemic discrimination continue. JobKeeper was not made available for universities and casual workers, a large portion of whom were women. Also as pandemic relief, the government encouraged people to dip into their superannuation, leading many women to withdraw their savings for old age. It is now emerging that about 70,000 may have been coerced into doing so by abusive partners. My husband and I moved to Noosa and in 2016 I was elected as Councillor. Women make up just over 50 per cent of Queensland’s population, but at that time only 33 per cent of councillors were women. In Noosa, I was the only woman elected (14 per cent). I had never been a politician before. As a councillor I discovered another reality. It turned out that in the competitive world of political power games, anything goes to gain

Ingrid Jackson, former Noosa Councillor. an advantage – including discrimination and unequal treatment of women. During my election campaign, the Sunshine

Coast Daily published a centrefold featuring each candidate. The men were described by their work. And I, who had had a substantial

career, was described as a grandmother. Once elected, I began to have concerns about council governance, so advocated strongly for transparency, evidence-based decision-making, fairness and compassion. I encountered vehement resistance and lack of support. A big part of this was because I was expected to be compliant rather than questioning. The other councillors made many attempts to silence me and voted against my ideas. I was treated as a problem, rather than as someone trying to contribute positively to improve council functioning. When asked by Council about my interests, my list included the local economy, town planning, traffic and transport, and community health. Despite that, council media releases mostly only featured the male councillors. When I raised the omission with the mayor, I was told I would be featured if something social or arty came along. That eventuated. When Council promoted free buses at Easter, I was expected to wear bunny ears in the newspaper photo. It seemed that the more serious subjects were reserved for the boys. A 2004 report by the Department of Local Government, Women in Local Government in Queensland, looked at why women were under-represented. It pointed out: “Women in more conservative communities in regional or rural areas may experience particular difficulty in joining and participating in the ‘boys’ club’ of local government. Sometimes these attitudes lead to harassment and discrimination. If this type of unprofessional and unethical behaviour goes unopposed by a mayor or a CEO, it can seriously impact on a woman’s desire to remain in local government. Indeed, the management styles of the mayor and the CEO are often a key contributing factor to the type of experience women have on council. Anecdotal evidence suggests that negative experience and lack of support in the first term of office may be the major contributing factor in the loss of female councillors to local government.” Because I kept the Noosa community informed of my efforts and the knock-backs I was experiencing, the community rallied behind me. By the time the next election rolled around, the community has vigorous in wanting to see more women on Council. Even though I decided not to run again, three women, including the new mayor, were elected. And the top unsuccessful runners-up were almost all women. Change had arrived. In Canberra, the Jenkins review of parliamentary workplaces, initiated by the Federal government, showed just how badly women have been treated in our parliament. As a result, a public acknowledgement was made in parliament and a taskforce established. Whether all 28 recommendations will be addressed is yet to be seen. And here in Noosa, by electing Mayor Clare Stewart and two other women councillors, the community rendered a significant breakthrough. It is hoped that this is more than just a cosmetic change and signals a permanent shift in the way this community is governed. 12536929-BL08-22

asdfasdfasdf asdf asdfasdfasdfdfdf dfdfdfdfdfdfdd

Tune in for a joyful celebration of community and pride as the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras broadcasts from the Sydney Cricket Ground. One of the world’s biggest and most-loved LGBTQIA+ celebrations, this year it will be presented by Hamish Macdonald, Steven Oliver, Mon Schafter, Casey Donovan, Jeremy Fernandez and Courtney Act. Amid the blaze of colour and people, the musical acts include singer-songwriter Darren Hayes and The Wiggles. DANCING WITH THE STARS: ALL STARS Seven, Sunday, 7pm

There’s no denying the dynamic formula of having former dancers as the judges and one of the hosts of this series, as well as a legend in entertainment TV: Daryl Somers. Along with co-host Sonia Kruger (Strictly Ballroom), they are a formidable team. Tonight, group one, including Grant Denyer (pictured with dance partner Lily Cornish), Bridie Carter and Kylie Gillies, returns to the floor to impress judges Todd McKenney, Paul Mercurio, Helen Richey and Mark Wilson. DERRY GIRLS SBS Viceland, Monday, 9.25pm

It’s shocking how far society still has to go to untangle itself from the clutches of patriarchy, but there’s hope, wisdom and laughter in the process. This brilliant and playful mash-up of documentary, comedy and drama celebrates female artists overshadowed in the masculine-dominated world of Australian art. Starring Bessie Holland (Wentworth) THE Bridie Carter (McLeod’s Daughters), Mandy McElhinney (Love Child) and triple j’s EXHIBITIONISTS Veronica Milsom (pictured, from left), as well as art historians, writers and experts, the ABC TV, story involves four friends who take action after getting locked in the National Gallery Tuesday, 8.30pm overnight and discovering only a quarter of art in the Australian collection is by women.

PICK OF THE WEEK

The uproarious and terrible trials and tribulations of teenagers are the backbone of this irreverent comedy, but Derry Girls isn’t your standard teen farce. Set in ’90s Northern Ireland during the Troubles – the simmering conflict between Catholics and Protestants – its unique female perspective is what made it a critical success in Europe. In this double episode, the Quinn family causes uproar at a family wedding. Later, Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson, pictured), Clare (Nicola Coughlan) and co are in a tizzy about seeing Take That.

New directors appointed Tourism Noosa has welcomed new directors to the Tourism Noosa Board to guide the strategic direction of the organisation in 2022 and beyond. Max Webberley from Kin Kin Depot was appointed chair, Sue Willis from Niche Luxury Holidays as deputy chair with Jeannette Allom-Hill also joining the board. Max, Sue and Jeannette join existing board directors Graham Bradford (Hastings Street Association representative, Netanya Noosa), Louise Formosa (Eumundi Trading Pty Ltd), James Kendall (Heads of Noosa Brewing Co) and Craig McGovern (Pelican Boat Hire). Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson welcomed the news. “The new board has significant experience in tourism and business management with the new directors being leaders in their industry,” Ms Anderson said. “This is an exciting new chapter for Tourism Noosa as we look forward to our industry navigating forward and through post Covid times. “I would also like to thank outgoing board directors, former chair Richard Stephens (Accom Noosa), Andrew Brodie (Sunshine Coast Airport), Brett Kapernick (Queensland Tourism Industry Council), Darren McClenaghan (RACV Noosa Resort), Erina Kilmore (Australia Zoo) and Michael Holmes (Noosa Longboards).” Chair Max Webberley said, “The three new directors bring fresh perspectives at a time when tourism, like many industries, is having to review its way forward in a world with Covid. Our 620 members are facing that reboot challenge every day and we are working to help them succeed.”

Kitchens of the future By Annika Reynolds The kitchen is often called the soul of the house, but it is also where our food and 20 per cent of Australia’s total greenhouse gas emissions are made. But we can all change that, by bringing the kitchens of the future into our homes and reaping the benefits for our families, waistlines and hip pockets. Before we dive into the future, it is important to discuss why 20 per cent of Australia’s emissions come from the kitchen. The main contributor is our diet. For example, both lamb and cheese emit more than 20kgs of greenhouse gases per kilogram of meat or dairy. But beef is an even greater offender. To produce just 1kg of our favourite steak, we emit 70kgs of greenhouse gas emissions. This emissions profile is a combination of factors. For example, cows themselves produce a lot of methane over their lifetime, but grazing animals also require land – which is often created by felling forests. The other reason why our kitchens currently contribute to climate change comes down to what powers our homes. In Noosa, we have installed over 70,000kW of solar panels on our homes and local businesses – so not all homes equally contribute to this problem. However, roughly 76 per cent of Queensland’s energy is supplied by fossil fuel sources and there are many homes in Noosa with a gas-fired stove. This means that when we are in our kitch-

Induction cooking.

Pete Segher’s shows off his Noosa Reds. ens – when we use electricity to power our microwave or gas to cook on the stove – we are also emitting greenhouse gases. But we can change that. Choosing local and plant-based In 2021 an incredible restaurant in Melbourne made waves. Atiyah is Australia’s first zero-carbon and certified carbon neutral restaurant. To achieve this, Ben Armstrong, Atiyah’s owner, has implemented a range of strategies to reduce emissions. This includes composting leftover food, emphasising plant-based foods and sourcing local ingredients from carbon neutral suppliers.

Luckily in Noosa, we can also take those actions. It’s as easy as ducking down to your local shops to buy a composting bin and taking the time to check out the local farmer’s markets and buying local from emissions conscious businesses like Noosa Reds tomatoes, grown locally and using solar to power its business operations. Another way you can reduce emissions is to start integrating plant-based recipes into your weekly meals, maybe swap out meatballs for plant balls in the spaghetti, or try a vegetarian salad. Electrifying the kitchen The other major change we can make to our kitchens is how we power them. In 2020, the Grattan Institute released a major report calling for cleaner and smarter ways to cook. Their argument was swapping our

gas-fired kitchen appliances for electric ones, such as an induction cooktop, is healthier for our families and our planet, and will save on bills. Let’s break that down. The Climate Council has found that gas in the home is a major health risk, contributing to 12 per cent of childhood asthma and contributing to other respiratory diseases. And we know that gas is also cooking the planet through greenhouse gases. Finally, gas bills are expensive! Swapping to electric appliances (which are generally pretty efficient) will only marginally impact your electricity bill, but it will save your entire gas bill. Reducing our carbon footprints does not require us to give up the foods that we love and that unite us as a community. But we can make different choices with our food and how we power our kitchens – and in doing so, bring the carbon zero kitchens of the future into our homes.

There were 25 animal cruelty complaints made to the RSPCA in the Noosa Shire in 2021. Noosaville led the shire’s suburb tally with 14 cases reported followed by Cooran with six, two in Pinbarren and one each in Boreen Point, Lake McDonald and Castaways Beach. RSPCA Queensland spokeswoman Emma Lagoon said, statewide, there were 744 fewer cruelty complaints compared to 2020 but 16,331 cases across the state kept RSPCA inspectors busy. The top cruelty complaints received by the organisation were for animals in poor condition, in poor living conditions, with insufficient food and water, being teth-

Complaints were also for animals not receiving veterinary treatment, being abandoned, animals without shelter and for heat stress. “Organisationally, we are increasingly focusing on preventative programs, like Operation Wanted, aiming to address the root cause of animal welfare issues within our communities.” Ms Lagoon said. “While some suburbs have seen a reduction in cruelty complaints compared to last year, there is still more work to be done.

for breaches of its Quarry Management Plan (QMP). At a roundtable meeting last Friday Council announced quarry operators Cordwell Resources had been issued a further $27,000 in fines, bringing the total over the past four months to $80,000, none of which has been paid. To assist in preparing Council’s legal case, residents have volunteered to complete a 30-question survey. It asks them to detail the current environment, the nature of the impact of more than 200 truck movements daily,

dust problems in the area, plus it seeks their thoughts on the best way to address community concerns. Mayor Clare Stewart said residents were best placed to describe the environment, noise impacts and other amenity issues which relate directly to the quarry’s truck movements.Kin Kin Community Group president Jan Bonsall said depression and anger were rife in the community because of the impact of the trucks. “It’s ruined paradise,” she said. The majority of us went to live in Kin Kin to get out of

suburbia. We didn’t go there to have it inflicted upon us. If you think of 200 trucks a day, that’s fairly disruptive. It’s not consistent with the idyllic life you want to take up.” Ms Bonsall recalled a recent incident where a mother taking her young children to school over the range was forced to swerve over to the edge of the road when she met a truck on a corner. “She’s terrified,” she said. Ms Bonsall said the community was appreciative of the effort being put in by council and Ms Bolton. Continued on page 5

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A PRECISION DENTURE MAKES John Taylor

Imagine what it would be like to smile and talk without embarrassment. Wearing dentures that are past their used-by date can cause irreversible changes in your mouth and appearance. Over time your jaw bones naturally shrink, and the supporting tissues change. When dentures become loose and the biting surfaces of the teeth become smooth the fit and function is greatly impaired. You may experience head, neck or shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking jaw joints, difficulty chewing and sore pressure spots. Your face may look older or appear sunken in as you begin to lack support around your mouth. Your lips may disappear. Ill-fitting dentures also create digestive problems which may affect your overall health.

Your denture expert Your dentures are vitally important: They are directly related to your quality of life, and Precision Dentures offers expertly designed natural looking teeth, crafted by hand with superior comfort and function. During your private, personalised consultation with John Taylor, your concerns will be listened to and you will be given advice on your denture requirements so you can make an informed decision on what is best for you.

Trusted advice and quality dentures: John Taylor has been providing residents in the Noosa area with quality precision-fitting dentures for over 40 years.

Safety around schools I cannot see if there are speed cameras currently located along the stretch of Sunshine Beach Road outside of the Sunshine Beach Primary School, but I think there certainly should be speed cameras there. The school zone 40km/hr signage is very clear with operating flashing lights at the appropriate times 7-9am and 2-4pm on school days. But… So many times I have been driving at 40km/ hr through that zone 7-9am or 2-4pm when the 40km/hr signage lights are flashing and I have been tailgated by a driver in a very big rush and on several occasions I have been tooted at to speed up. I just don’t understand why aggressive drivers feel the need to speed through a school zone of all places when the signage is so clear. I was thinking of making some handheld 40km/hr signs that I could wave out from my driver’s side window when necessary but speed cameras may just make the biggest and best difference to the safety of the children and to the sanity of the safe drivers. Deb Davis, Sunrise Beach

Traffic and safety concerns Last week’s article covering the proposed Noosa Springs development and the disclosures made by Phillip Starkey and Ellen Guan caught my attention. As a resident of Parkridge and a unit owner at the top of Resort Drive, I am concerned about the additional vehicle traffic this proposed hotel will generate during the construction phase and thereafter. Resort Drive is effectively a no through road which is already used extensively by Parkridge residents to access their units but also by patrons of the Noosa Springs gym, pool and spa. Vehicles used by the latter group are parked either side of Resort Drive adjacent to the Noosa Springs lower entry leaving only a narrow thoroughfare for moving traffic. An assortment of smaller trucks, vans and other larger vehicles currently service Noosa Springs. Primarily these vehicles make deliveries to the Noosa Springs kitchen and cafe and also dispose of rubbish generated by these facilities. What Mr Starkey and the development company fail to mention is that the proposed hotel will not have a kitchen and all food for the hotel’s restaurant, cafe, room service together with catering required for weddings and conferences will be produced by a greatly enlarged facility built where the existing kitchen is located. Apart from its food and drink needs, the hotel will also require both the delivery of newly laundered items and the extraction of soiled bedding, towels etc on a daily basis. No doubt waste will increase and require disposal more frequently. Accordingly, it is not hard to imagine the number of the aforementioned commercial vehicles using Resort Drive, which is basically a small residential street, will increase exponentially. Putting to one side the tradies and other construction workers parking outside the construction site on Resort Drive, the completed hotel with its limited parking will force the gym, pool, spa and golf patrons to also park along this road. My concern is a safety issue in that Resort Drive is not equipped to take this additional traffic and also provide the desired parking. Sooner, rather than later, a serious accident will occur because of reduced road width, limited vision or alternatively cars trying to avoid the larger vehicles needed to service the hotel. Surely the safety of residents in this precinct must come first. Even though, per se, I am not anti-development I strongly believe the construction of this hotel on the selected site is hugely problematic and ill-conceived while certainly not in the interests of the adjacent communities. What the Noosa Council needs to ask, when voting on the development application, is who, apart from the developer, does this project really benefit? Certainly not the voting residents who have shown their disapproval by lodging in excess of 500 objections. Robert Brooks, Parkridge

Unsuitable proposal I refer to your article dated 25 February 2022 on the proposed Noosa Springs hotel and wish to make the following observations. It is my understanding that the original approval of the master plan was to provide for a 200-room hotel on the site that has now become Parkridge. The development of 138 apartments and 28 townhouses and vil-

LENSCAPE

Sue Ladd sent us this photo that appeared in Noosa News of her children on the swings on Gympie Terrace in the floods of 1992-93.

las ranging from one to four bedrooms at Parkridge has seen a substantial increase in the number of rooms provided on the site and well more than the 200 hotel rooms originally approved. The site being proposed for this hotel development was never approved in the original master plan, hence the intrusion into the koala habitat. The original plan always provided for the provision of open space to assist the preservation of the koala population. That provision will be removed by the current proposal. With those additional rooms at Parkridge, a massive increase in vehicle numbers has occurred. I challenge Mr Starkey’s statement in respect of traffic movements that studies showed at full capacity the hotel would generate about 30 vehicle movements (15 each way) an hour. This statement does not reflect what is happening. As an example, on Friday 25 at 8.30 am from the security gate at the residence to the roundabout at Cooyar Street, approximately two minutes’ drive, we counted 21 vehicles on the road. With 98 standard rooms, six luxury suites and two presidential suites, this is not a boutique hotel. Boutique hotels, usually offering between 10 and 100 rooms total, are smaller in size but come with an unequalled level of hospitality and original array of aesthetics that adds to the flavourful atmosphere. There was no indication with the plans shown by Mr Starkey to the residents that demonstrated this to be a true luxury boutique hotel. Jan Foletta, Noosa Springs

Lack of community concern It is surprising to see no one in the media has highlighted the connection between the Sekisui Development judgement and the proposed new hotel in Noosa Springs. In both cases, the fundamental issues are the developer’s lack of due consideration for community concerns and non-adherence to their respective town plans. After the favourable judgement by the Supreme Court, the spokesperson for the Yaroomba community made the following comments: “The fact that we’ve won, it’s a win for democracy, it’s a win for community, it’s a win for our planning scheme and it is a win for future and subsequent communities who are seeing developments that are not sensible or in line with the town plan,” said Ms Hyman [Save Yaroomba campaign spokesperson]. She said the Supreme Court decision would set an important precedent for developments in the future that were not in keeping with the town plan. “That’s the lesson that they’ve been taught, if they do that again there will be a mass objection, unless they do something in line with those community expectations.” Ms Hyman said the community had proven naysayers wrong who had said they were fighting a lost cause. Ms Hyman said the court decision proved the value of the planning scheme and consulting with residents. “We want development, we need development, but it must conform with community

expectations in the planning scheme,” she said. “It must be respected, just like Joe Bloggs, if he’s building his house or renovating his carport. There is an expectation we all comply with that book of rules.” As regards the commonality with the proposed hotel in Noosa Springs the objections centred on: The lack of consideration for those people in the community that are most directly and adversely, impacted by the proposed development. The non-compliances with the Noosa Plan 2020. Of course, no two cases are the same and all will be assessed on their respective merits following due process by Council. That’s a given and rightly so. Roger Howick, Noosa Springs

Comments challenged I read with interest your article on the new hotel proposal for the resort and cannot let go Mr Phil Starkey’s comment on the proposed five star boutique hotel on the site of Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort go unchallenged. His statement that the original approval obtained by his family provided for a 200-room hotel is correct. However, the approval had the hotel located on the site which is now occupied by the Parkridge Apartments. The site was sold by GH Australia as a capital raising exercise and let the hotel lapse. Further, the original proposal, given it was not undertaken, has been superseded by the new Noosa Plan 2020 and the proposed new site is zoned two-thirds recreation and open space. This application does not comply with that zoning. There have been a number of misleading definitions used by Mr Starkey and the developer. The first is calling the proposed hotel boutique hotel. The industry’s understanding of a boutique hotel is one less than 100 rooms and preferably no more than 80. The 98 rooms. six luxury suites and two presidential suites exceed the definition boutique. A boutique must provide 24/7 staffing at all times. Mr Starkey was unable to give that assurance at the display he conducted for the residents. Mr Starkey, GHA and tourism have been using the word “luxury “. The industry uses this term in two ways, one is to describe a room that contains a king sized bed and the second way is to describe a luxury experience. In respect of the 98 rooms their size will only contain a queen size bed and as such are deluxe. There is nothing in the design to indicate the experience will be one of luxury, it is a basic resort utilising many of the existing basic facilities in the resort. The golfing experience already exists if you are able to get a suitable hit off time. The existing facilities even being given a makeover are not suitable for the meeting and convention sector. They are too small, lack decent technology and break out rooms. One has to laugh at the comment of planting koala feeding trees as a solution for the removal of such trees that currently exist on the proposed site and provide a corridor for that koalas currently existing on the site. It is obvious that Mr Starkey has not observed the

LETTERS

planting that took place five years ago alongside Noosa Springs Drive. They have just reached three metres and are a long way from providing feed for the existing population. The development will contribute significantly to the decline of the koala. It is difficult to understand how the traffic study reached the conclusions provided to Council. One has to assume it was very selective in the hours it took place. I have counted 30 vehicles in less than five minutes on Noosa Springs Drive between Resort Drive and Cooyar Street recently. His arrogance about people getting a job is breathtaking. A genuine five star hotel has a staffing standard of one full time equivalent per room. It should be remembered many of those employed will be part time and required at times when there is no public transport available. The nearest public transport has a limited frequency and is located in Cooyar Street, a 15 minute walk to the existing resort. Maybe he will provide those he indicates can come from outlying areas for a job and might be given one of his electric bikes to get to work. It is easy for him to make that statement when all he needs to do is jump into his golf cart in The Point and use the course pathways to get to work. Finally, I take exception to Mr Starkey saying elsewhere that the residents were apathetic when he held his public exhibition for them in the resort. If anybody was apathetic it was Mr Starkey, who, when questioned on a number of operational matters relating to the hotel, was unable to answer the question or attempted quickly to change the subject. It was obvious that he was the messenger that GHA were using his family name to sell the concept Eric Lonie, Noosa Springs

Advice hilarious John Turner’s letter and advice to Steve Hall was absolutely hilarious. Surely it was a joke intended as a red rag to a bull. My guess is Steve will take the bait and there will be another long letter in this column expressing outrage that John Turner’s letter was even allowed to be printed. Woody Dass, Noosaville

Global warming facts I am wondering if your correspondent John Turner (NT 25/2) actually studied any science at secondary school level. Having taught countless students about the greenhouse effect, first postulated in 1824, but only named as such in 1901, I can see that he does not appear to be in possession of the facts regarding anthropologically-caused global warming. He also appears to be behind the eight ball on renewable energy. We only need to look at South Australia’s successful battery storage system to see that renewables are feasible. Australian households, mine included, have enthusiastically taken up household solar panels, as have countless commercial businesses, which is why coal fired power stations all over the nation are greatly reducing their life-span. In spite of Scott Morrison’s love affair with coal, the demise that Bob Brown predicted for it decades ago is coming to fruition. Thank goodness. Joy Ringrose, Pomona

Mayor Clare Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart

Mayor thanks community A major weather event has well and truly consumed our community, our Council and our emergency services over the past week. I want to take this opportunity to thank our community for their resilience, their support and their compassion. We have seen the best of people. I especially want to thank our emergency services. Qld Police, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) agencies. Truly, these men and women are the reason we have suffered no loss of life or serious injury and, on behalf of our community, I say a huge thank you to them for their bravery, their courage and their support. We are lucky to have the best of the best working in and for our community. I’d also like to acknowledge and thank our Council team, especially our Disaster Management team and Communications team. They have gone above and beyond, working throughout weekends and evenings to keep us all safe. Thank you. As some background, our Local Disaster Management Group, which I chair was stood up on Wednesday 23 February, and all our emergency services were activated. Between midnight Thursday 24 February and Monday 28 February, QPS Sunshine Coast District actioned more than 1030 jobs. About 380 of those were within Noosa Shire or adjoining areas. A remarkable feat for all involved to keep our community safe. Senior Sergeant Ben Carroll, Officer in Charge of Noosa Heads Police Station, advises

all of those jobs were finalised, with everyone accounted for and, as yet, no reports of death or serious injury within Noosa Shire. Qld Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) reported that over 30 swift water flood rescues were undertaken, and the SES had over 230 call outs. Noosa River flooding peaked at 1.62m at the high tide which was just under major flood levels which would occur at the 1.7 metre level. These heightened flood levels caused minor inundation within the lower areas of Noosaville and Tewantin with sandbagging providing further support to affected residents. Damage assessments are underway as the clean-up begins. This process can take some time so please rest assured our staff are out and about. If you have any concerns about damage to public infrastructure, you can let us know using the Snap Send Solve smartphone app. Queensland Police continue to work with emergency services and council staff to make sure people that have been impacted, are safe and accounted for. Please check in on your neighbours, family and friends to ensure everyone is okay. If you identify any issues, please ring Noosa Council or QPS and we will attend to check on their welfare. As the flood waters subside the focus turns to recovery. Council is working through a number of options to assist with waste removal in the hardest hit areas. Where possible and safe to do so, kerbside wheelie bin collections are continuing across the shire. If items

are small and can be placed into your general waste bin, then you should do so. If items are large or bulky, they can be taken directly to Eumundi Rd landfill or a private contractor called to do this for you. For those people with insurance, please contact your insurance company for advice as generally waste disposal of flood damaged items will be covered under your policy if you have flood/storm cover. If you have been severely impacted by the floods, please contact council’s customer service centre to see whether additional assistance is required such as large on-site bins. People facing significant financial hardship will be assisted on a case-by-case basis. Council’s environmental health officers are hitting the streets shortly to help businesses with food safety advice to help them get back on their feet after the clean-up. The good news is that the Federal and State Governments have announced disaster funding for Australian and Qld residents who have been seriously affected by the floods in SEQld Local Government Areas including Noosa. There is an application process through Services Australia. For more information, visit servicesaustralia.gov. au/south-east-queensland-floods-february2022-australian-government-disaster-recovery-payment On behalf of the Council and all Councillors, I thank you once again for your patience, your support, your resilience and your understanding. Stay safe and take care. Until next month, Clare.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart.

On The Soapbox John Cochrane

Listen to the People on hotel development concerns “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot with a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot” I’m sure the surfers who loaded a sweaty EH Holden van and made the trek to Noosa would have sung along to Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi on the long trip north (I know this because I was one of them). How prophetic it was now that the developer of the proposed hotel at Noosa Springs has submitted plans for a multi-level car park on the site. This is a development which seeks to build a hotel on land zoned open space and recreation. Further, the land is a connecting habitat area. This is land set aside as habitat for “endangered, vulnerable, rare and regionally and locally significant flora and fauna…. (it) is protected and enhanced, including food sources and nesting and breeding areas important for species health and recovery”. The only nesting and breeding going on in this development will be after a lazy day by the resort pool, well-lubricated in the pool bar and warmed in the glow of the fire pit. The land proposed for development is a land bridge between the environmental management and conservation area to the west of Sunshine Beach and the Noosa Springs Recreation Area, which connects to Lake Weyba. These bridges are vital to biodiversity. The developer proposes to manage biodiversity by giving any koala an Uber voucher and their best wishes. But koalas are only the most high-profile residents. It’s a bit like being the sister of a supermodel. You never get noticed. Let’s forget the animals – they don’t really use Uber much and they certainly won’t keep the restaurants of Hastings Street in business. I guess that only leaves people. Generally, a bit of a worry in their voracious appetite for acquisition. Whether it is another country 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 March, 2022

John Cochrane. or a piece of scrubby land, it is easy for us to assume that our desire to do something great will not have consequences for others. It is clear, in the case of the Noosa Springs Hotel, that the proponent is unaware or unconcerned with the claim that residents, both animal and human, may have on the 14,500 square metres of land zoned Open Space/Recreation under the Noosa Plan 2020 they wish to develop. But take heart, this is a five star, boutique hotel. Somewhere you’d be proud to stay if you could afford a 32 square metre basic room. I certainly will never stay in the presidential suite. I’ll leave that to real presidents like Xi Jinping. I think he may be investing in the project. I am being unkind, however. The real motivating factor for the hotel is economic necessity. Noosa needs five-star hotel beds we’re told. There have been surveys and a report, which indicate the need for such a facility. It will be a boon for the community.

Businesses will flourish and tradespeople from the far reaches of Cooroy and perhaps even Gympie will point their white utilities to the rising sun of Noosa Springs and head off for a day’s honest toil on the resort building site. Children will be fed and all will be well in tradie land. But let’s not be too self-interested. The real jewel in the crown of this hotel will be the quality of its guests. People who live the virtues to which we all aspire. They are quality people – the type who stay in five star boutique hotels. These folk do not holiday at the Ibis, the Mantra or the recently upgraded resort motels of Noosaville. They ride electric scooters as a mark of respect for the environment. They eschew the motor vehicle for its environmental vandalism. Any hotel they patronise will follow a strict management regime. This management will set the resort apart and mitigate all of the impacts normally associated with the back end of an hotel. The waste trucks will be fitted with reversing mufflers, which play Handel or Mozart. All glass waste will be individually wrapped in environmentally sourced recycled containers thus eliminating any noise when crushed. Linen will be delivered by French-speaking couriers whose horns honk bonjour. Life will be bliss at the resort. The developers of Noosa Springs Boutique Resort Hotel (five star) are also environmental warriors. Not content with the environment of the springs, they are spending an absolute motza on a second Lake Weyba. But there is more – it is a two-storey lake with a pool bar. What better contribution could one make than to discuss climate action over a boutique cocktail or two at the pool bar? But is it sustainable? Clearly, the answer is a resounding yes. Due to their commitment to wellness, mindfulness, yoga and detox the

high net worth visitor will be able to revisit forever. No mention of colonic irrigation – just a fad, I guess. Fellow Noosa residents, do not be jealous. You too can have a five star boutique hotel in your neighbourhood. We have established the economic need, the public good, the insatiable desire for high spending aristocrats to visit our oh so chic, low-rise playground. And with the ability of such resorts to do away with the motor vehicle we may indeed have the perfect answer to the whole global warming issue. So, I hear you ask, “What is the problem”? Planning law is the problem. There are good reasons for strategic planning. It is not just about control and stopping people from doing what they want. It is about vision, sustainability, and community aspiration. It is about a shared view of the world as opposed to individual desire. Next time you look longingly at your local park or nature reserve and think – ‘What a wonderful place for a five star boutique resort’ – stop yourself and think about the consequences. If, on reflection, you do not see a problem then take up the pen. Write to every Noosa Councillor and demand – “Why can’t I have a five star boutique hotel” in my street?” And if you don’t think they will listen, I refer you to the Supreme Court of Queensland – Development Watch Inc. V Sunshine Coast Regional Council – “The court was required to take that evidence (expectations of the community) into account …. but that did not occur…… This was another error of law.” (John Cochrane is an architect and Noosa Springs homeowner. He is one of more than 500 objectors to the estimated $50 million hotel d evelopment proposal at Noosa Springs to be considered by Noosa Council this month. )

Writers festival is back Stunning sunsets and the written word, the stage is set for Words Out West - the third annual Western Downs Readers and Writers Festival. At a time when keeping in contact is so important, especially for those in regional Australia, the festival is based at Dalby from March 4-19 and provides the chance for writers and aspiring writers to get together. Western Downs Regional Council spokesperson for community and cultural development Cr Kaye Maguire said that after two years of battling the Covid-19 epidemic, the region was set to set to welcome record crowds with a host of speakers at a variety of venues. “We are so excited to bring Words Out West back to the Western Downs in 2022,” Cr Maguire said. “It’s an incredible opportunity for the region. “A huge spotlight will be placed on the area due to the line-up of readers and writers. “It will bring a great economic benefit to the region. It’s a way of showcasing the area by giving people a reason to come and enjoy some of the great aspects that are here. “Then there’s the social aspect and the psychological support of having like-minded people to talk to. “In times such as this it is tough for farmers and businesspeople to cope. “Going to an event such as this must help their mental health.” Cr Maguire said some events were already sold out, with no more tickets available for the opening night Cocktail Chronicles with Samuel Johnson, and the Memoir Writing writer’s retreat with Kristina Olsson. This festival will see a line-up of literary royalty taking part including international best-selling author of The Book Thief, Markus Zusak, prize-winning Australian novelist and journalist Matthew Condon, ABC journalist Lisa Millar, and Sydney-based novelist Nicola Moriarty. The regional author’s tour will see best-selling women’s fiction writer Tricia Stringer visiting regional library branches from March 7-9. Curiosity, creativity and enquiry without barriers - that’s what the Words Out West School Days on March 8-9 are all about. At Dalby and Chinchilla, students will be invited to engage with key literacy themes through a range of workshops, presentations

and hands-on activities presented by Stig Wemyss, Andrew Daddo, Peter Carnavas and Deano Yipadee. More than 1600 school students from across the region are expected to attend. The Schooners and Stories series with former Australian, Queensland and Brisbane Broncos rugby league player Sam Thaiday, will provide entertaining evenings at Dulacca, Jandowae and Tara hotels on March 17-19. There has also been a short story competition to coincide with the festival. Having grown up on a farm at Chinchilla, Cr Maguire loves the sunsets and the wide open spaces of the Western Downs. “But really, it’s the people who make it,” she said. “It’s festivals such as this that showcase why everyone is here … their loves, their talents, their past times. “It’s the authenticity and importance of such cultural events to regional areas that makes this one stand out.” Cr Maguire said the people of the region took pride in putting on the festival, even if they were not directly involved. “It’s about knowing things are still happening, and that gives a sense of excitement. “We are trying to bring new things to the event. “With the Sam Thaiday nights, we are showing the different areas of the region and trying to engage with more than the readers. “It’s an excuse to encourage different people to come … a fantastic opportunity to have a great, fun night out. “We are trying to appeal to a wider generation of people. It’s all part of reading and writing, and sharing their own stories.” The School Days program has been inspirational to the children. Cr Maguire said watching the children react at previous festivals had been encouraging. “To watch how kids react, the questions they ask. “Then when we ask them who has written a story, all of their hands go up. “I didn’t realise how involved the writers are in encouraging children to read from an early age. “It’s so important to encourage them when they are young. It opens the whole mind up to vocabulary, words, and imagination.” To find out more and to book tickets visit wordsoutwest.westerndownslibraries.com/

Author to speak at forum Friday Environment Forum guest speaker and author Elaine Green will discuss her book, Piece by Piece: Conservation and development on the Sunshine Coast 1960-2020 on 11 March. For the first time the development of the Sunshine Coast, including Noosa, is followed through six decades of ongoing population growth. Campaigns to preserve natural areas have at times been intense and, as the title suggests, the pieces have been put in place with concerted efforts over time by ordinary people with great commitment. Written for a wide audience, this compelling and well-researched book is fully illustrated with significant aerial and other photographs. Elaine Green is a former Maroochy Shire Councillor and a long-term environmental advocate and published local historian. Her inspiration for the book arose from delving into the yellowing archives of Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland, Sunshine Coast & Hinterland branch, previously the Caloundra branch established by Kathleen McArthur in 1963. Piece by piece is dedicated to Kathleen, who with Judith Wright, David Fleay and Brian Coulson founded WPSQ in 1962. The book will be available for purchase at the forum or online at wildlife.org.au Come along to the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive Noosaville on 11 March 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. Visit noosaparks.org.au/friday-environment-forum/ for the registration link. Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the carpark for interpretive birding.

Sunday in Garden back Sunday March 6 marks the 2022 return of the popular Sunday in the Gardens event at Noosa Botanic Gardens. Get to the gardens at 9am to start your day with a coffee and muffin from Rob who is taking a day away from his famous Bus Stop Espresso to supply you with the best from his Cooroy Coffee brand. Or you can take a short stroll over to the Shade Garden to see some of the more exotic species the gardens have to offer. From 10am, legendary singer/songwriter Jay Bishoff will perform popular and original pieces under the poinciana trees near the Shade Garden – bring a chair and enjoy this free show. Or you can join a botanic journaling workshop with Sammy Ciganka to make your own mark makers from found objects and sticks to use with botanical inks on paper and fabric. The workshop is free but you need to book for this – visit noosabotanicgardensfriends.com for details). Then again, if you want you can just make a day of it with a walk through the eight hectares of gardens, perhaps taking over one of the many picnic tables distributed across the whole area, enjoy a family gathering, or just relax with a book. And yes, you can bring your dog to the gardens - but only on a leash.

It’s raining on Tigerland

Jay Bishoff will perform at the botanic gardens. And here’s something for the diary: the next plant sale day from the Botanic Gardens Friends is being held on Saturday 26 March, from 7am to noon. Noosa Botanic Gardens are approximately 4km from Cooroy, along Lake Macdonald Drive. Make a day of it! Visit noosabotanicgardensfriends.com for more details.

Well what a deluge of rain that was. Our Roccoco oval looked more like the aqua fun parks we visit on the coast. No football of course over last weekend as we all assess the damage, wait and continue with our 2022 pre-season campaign. In fact, there was still plenty happening at the Roccoco Noosa Tigers and it started last Tuesday night when the crew from Outside the Locker Room addressed 70 men and women on the subject of mental health which was justly applauded by all that attended. Later in the year the same team will speak to our entire senior and colts lists on the effects of drugs and alcohol in an educational process that is just so relevant and important to sporting clubs like ours these days. Great to see Noosa girl Bella Smith being named in the emergencies for the Brisbane Lions AFLW team over the past few weeks. My insider tells me she is burning up the track at training and seriously pushing for a senior spot in what is the reigning premiership team who are also flying. Keep at it Bells. At this stage our practice games this weekend are still going ahead with the colts

up against Moreton Bay from noon, seniors up against Mayne from 2pm and our women playing a six quarter game against Surfers Paradise from 4.45pm. For all further updates please look at our Facebook page and social media over the course of the week. And of course one of the social days of the year ,the annual golf day is this Sunday from 11am at the Noosa golf club. One not to be missed. On a sadder note the Noosa Tigers AFC send their condolences to the families of Bob Cross and Michael Sobey who both passed away last week. Bob was, of course, an ex-Tiger treasurer and superb volunteer whose son Brad has been a pivotal member of the Tiger family for over two decades. And Michael was a sports mad pillar of our community who frequented our presidents’ lunches and race days. Both will be sadly missed. See you at Roccoco oval Saturday and at the golf day on Sunday. Should be a cracking weekend. Go Tigers.

Hook, Line and Sinker Tackle World Noosa

The big wet hits fishing Unless you have been completely out of touch, you will know that SEQ has received record flooding rain. The local rivers are flooding causing major disruptions across the entire state. So how is this going to impact the fishing for the weeks to come? Offshore was showing signs of longtail tuna showing up with the occasional Spanish mackerel. The usual spots of North Reef and wide from Sunshine Reef were producing the much sought after pelagics. Right now, the rivers are spewing dirty water out into the oceans. This will push the clean water line out to the 40-60m line, especially as we approach the spring tides on Thursday. There is a silver lining for offshore anglers. Reef fish love a heavy flush and often there is an offshore thermocline where dirty water sits as a layer often leaving a lower cleaner layer. The big flush will push bait out and as such reef fish often fire up with sweetlip a great target. If you don’t have any, then Samaki soft vibes in the 100mm + sizes work exceptionally well. Another great option are large prawns with the Chasebaits prawn excellent. You can take the included weedless hook out and use a standard jig head to get it down deep and hop along the bottom. Coral trout will smash both lure styles, often favoring them over bait. Bait anglers will have great success with mullet and pilchard but try a single hook paternoster as big reef fish may be very hungry! Surf fishing is going to see a few changes with bigger fish stalking the shallows for misplaced baitfish. Jewfish will be prowling along the coastline looking for whiting and mullet, especially after dark. Break out your big 12-foot rods and long cast reels as it could be excellent fishing around the moon. If bait fishing, worm and squid mixes or mullet strips will be the go. Be sure to use some bead elastic to secure baits for better casting distance. The Noosa River has seen some serious flows with levels flooding over Hilton Terrace on the high tides. If you are looking to go out on the water, please travel slowly, especially if you are crossing the bar. There has been a lot of debris and rubbish washed down and this could hole a boat hull. The focus will be around the river mouth, Woods Bay and Noosa Sound. Likely targets will be flathead that will be sitting hard on the bottom away from the cooler, dirty rainwater. Mangrove jacks will be feeding as they can tolerate anything from fresh to salty water although these fish may need some time to adjust before they start feeding again. Fishing around the push of the high tide will see the saltiest waters coming across the bar which fish will be chasing. For bait anglers, larger than usual baits of mullet, pilchard and squid will be the go as

Coby with a stunning yellowfin tuna. they are oily and smell. Lure anglers will want to use soft vibes and big paddle tail plastics loaded with some S-Factor scent. You can also try the squid scented Keitech 4-inch easy shiner in Sight flash which is a pure white colour perfect for the current conditions. If you own a few crab pots, now is the time

A bridge to brain power Playing your cards right can keep you sharp long after retirement. Noosa Bridge Club is holding its next course of bridge lessons beginning 4 April in their clubrooms at 3 Wallace Street Noosaville. Bridge is the most popular card game in the world and a recent study by the Stirling University (Scotland) found that playing bridge has a statistically significant positive effect on wellbeing. This comes as no surprise to bridge players who enjoy the intellectual and social stimulation on a routine basis. Bridge is a game for any age, all generations from six to 106 can play together and these days, bridge is attracting a younger audience with players in their 20s and 30s learning during the pandemic and continuing to play. New member Susan joined the last

course held in September 2021 and now plays on a regular basis saying “bridge has become a great new interest for me, I particularly love the increasing mental challenge combined with social interaction”. There is a Saturday session available for weekday workers and once the basic skills have been mastered, the club has a number of competitions available where players of the same ability compete in a friendly atmosphere. The eight-week course will cost $80 and includes a copy of Paul Marston’s Introduction to Bridge. This beginner’s course will cover the basic concepts of bridge and includes sessions of supervised play where your teacher will be available for help.

Katelyn relishes big stage Competing in high-profile national WPGA Tour tournaments this summer may not have been a life-changing experience for Peregian’s Katelyn Must, but it certainly reminded her why she’d become a professional golfer. And it rekindled her interest in playing more competitive golf. “It was great fun,” Katelyn said. “I hadn’t competed at that level for more than two years and I really enjoyed it.” Katelyn, a former outstanding junior who completed her traineeship at Horton Park and then based herself in Western Australia until Covid struck, is the resident teaching professional at Peregian – a role she loves. But with the pandemic discouraging overseas-based golfers from competing on this year’s WPGA circuit, Katelyn has relished the opportunity to step up. In mid-January she lined up in the women’s Australian PGA at Royal Queensland, shooting rounds of 77, 75, 74 and 74 to finish tied 20th. She followed that with 19th in the Melbourne International at LaTrobe and, despite being ill, a solid 23rd in the Victoria Open, where she scored 72, 81, 75 and 71. “I had a really bad cold,” she said. “I was tested but it wasn’t Covid, and I was proud of the way I played through it.” Katelyn says she’s enjoyed playing 72-hole tournaments, and believes her game has benefited from the intense competition. “It’s been a great opportunity for me,” she said. “I’ve played in several pro-ams recently, but it’s not the same as competing in fourround tournaments.” She says she also enjoys competing alongside the men, and feels it has improved the quality of her play. Following the Victoria Open, Katelyn returned to the Sunshine Coast and resumed teaching at Peregian, at least until the rain started falling. Then she flew back to Melbourne, with a plan to retrieve her car and drive home – a tricky exercise with so many roads flooded in NSW and southern Queensland. Though she’s committed to her teaching role, she’s looking forward to playing in more WPGA tournaments next month, possibly the Australian Women’s Classic at Bonville and the Women’s NSW Open at Coolangatta Tweed Heads. “Teaching at Peregian and playing in these big tournaments – it’s a great balance for me,” Katelyn said. Cooroy volunteers answer the call After the Cooroy golf course disappeared under the weekend floods, the club’s enthusiastic volunteers were quick to rally to the call to clean up the mess. “We were overwhelmed with offers to help,” said Peter Piggott, the volunteer coordinator. When the water cleared, however, there wasn’t much for the willing workers to do. “We were astounded at how little damage was caused,” Peter said. “There is debris around the course and the paths have lost gravel but there has been no obvious damage to the greens or tees,” he said. A bridge on the sixth hole was destroyed, and the sand was washed from bunkers. Peter said volunteers on Monday collected debris into piles, but the course was still too wet to accommodate vehicles to pick up the rubbish. He said it was unlikely play would resume at Cooroy until next week. Despite almost the entire course going under on Saturday, Noosa Springs was remarkably ready for play on Monday. Executive general manager Mark Brady said there was no sand in the bunkers and no competition play, but 60 or 70 social golfers were out on the course on Monday morning. Noosa escaped largely unscathed, too, with play allowed on Monday, but without electric carts, which were not allowed on the course.

Playing from a sloping lie TAKE THE TIP GREG LYNCH

Katelyn Must – enjoying her return to big-time tournament golf. devastated parts of eastern Australia over the past fortnight, played two solid rounds to finish tied 11th in the North Coast Open at Coffs Harbour last week. Giblett’s rounds of 67 and 71 – two-underpar for the 36-hole tournament played on a soaked course – made him the second highest ranked amateur in the field. He’d tackled the event because, had he finished among the top three, he would have been guaranteed a start in the upcoming New South Wales Open. Nevertheless it was welcome experience for the talented young golfer, and indicated his game was competitive with the professionals. Giblett and his colleagues weren’t so fortunate when they moved on to the Tweed Coast Open at Coolangatta-Tweed Heads at the weekend. Players were able to get the first 18 holes in before the really heavy rain hit on Saturday. The second day was abandoned and the event shortened to 18 holes.

Brisbane amateur Will Florimo won with an outstanding 10-under 62, while Giblett’s par round was good enough for tied 35th in the 115-strong field. Cassie bows to the champ Peregian’s Cassie Porter bowed out in the quarter-finals of the nationally televised The Athena in Melbourne at the weekend – but it took a champion to beat her. An invited field of 12 professionals and amateurs lined up in the innovative event which began on Saturday with a series of skills tests. The leading eight golfers qualified to play in Sunday’s series of match play eliminations. Cassie, 19, a professional since just before Christmas, drew leading amateur Kirsten Rudgeley in her three-hole knockout. Her score of even par was not good enough to take down the Western Australian, who scored one-under. At the end of the day Rudgeley, 20, prevailed – beating rookie pro Grace Kim in a playoff to take the title, which was decided at Melbourne’s Sandy Links course.

The correct setup for particular shots will often lead to a successful outcome. We discussed last week the correct way to play from a sloping lie when the ball is above your feet. Now let’s look at how to approach the more difficult circumstance of the ball sitting below your feet. The natural tendency in this situation is to fade or slice the ball. So take that into consideration. Here’s what to do: Grip up the handle of the club. Position the ball slightly forward in your stance. Adjust your aim to allow for a fade or slice. On extreme slopes close the club face at address. Adopt these tips and you will be navigating those tricky slopes and hills with ease. Good luck and good golfing.

John Landy reading the Athletes Olympic Oath. November 22, 1956 Picture: OFFICIAL REPORT, 1956 MELBOURNE OLYMPIC GAMES

Landy’s hand-written oath.

Little-known Landy story Dr Ian Jobling, Honorary Director of the UQ Centre of Olympic and Paralympic Studies I first watched John Landy as a lad growing up in Geelong in the 1940s and ‘50s. Indeed, when about 12 years old, and after playing under 15 football for the North Geelong Football Club, I watched him run with the Geelong Guild at Kardinia Park during halftime when the Mighty Cats were playing. I was one of many in the crowd at the southern end of the ground who tossed coins into a blanket carried by John and other Guild runners. So, I can now claim to have assisted him getting to the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki. There will be many tributes, anecdotes and stories recalling and celebrating many of the highlights of his eclectic life. My contribution is a vignette related to the opening ceremony of the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games. Since moving to Queensland and living in Noosa, I have had opportunities to become reacquainted with John. As an Olympic historian at the University of Queensland, I was invited by the National Library of Australia (NLA) to interview John along with other Olympians and prominent athletes, coaches, and sport administrators. It was during that interview in his home in Melbourne in April 2008 that I gleaned much about this extraordinary person. Although he still held the world-record for the Mile, Landy was coming out of wintertraining and with little international competition, John said he accepted the invitation to read the Olympic Oath on behalf of all athletes. He attended a rehearsal at the MCG - the Olympic Stadium for the periods November 22- December 8. John related in our interview: “This fellow Bill Holt was the technical manager for the Games, and he said, ‘This is what you’ve got to do; there it is’ and handed me a typewritten sheet. ‘And anyway, we will put it in large type and stick it with four drawing pins on the lectern. You will have no problem after - the Duke of Edinburgh or whoever speaks, and you will be able to get up there and away you go’. “Fortunately, I had copied it out from the typed copy and put it in [John points to his top pocket] … and when I got up to read the Oath, there was nothing [on the lectern] at all so I took it out and read it. “Well, you think that is the end of story, but it isn’t’ because the Oath that they gave me was not the Oath they put on the program. And Harry Gordon wrote it up. He said I got so nervous I made it up.” Yes, many of the 100,000-plus spectators had received the official program as they entered the stadium of the XXV Olympiad and were mystified because what John Landy should have been reading was: “We swear that we will take part in the Olympic Games in loyal competition, respecting the regulations which govern them, and 44 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 March, 2022

John Landy, the humble gentleman who months earlier had shown great sportsmanship when he stopped and ensured Ron Clarke was uninjured during the Olympic trials, kept this story to himself for many years. Personally, I am glad I read ‘his’ version’!

Saturday games washout By Randall Woodley Quote of the week- “Success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill. The devastating rain last week caused havoc to many people’s lives, damaged roads and properties and caused problems for our businesses and farmers. Obviously all the planned Saturday cricket matches were cancelled but, depending on the weather, the semi-finals for the season will be played next Saturday and Sunday, March 5 and 6. The Thunder have qualified for the finals in First and Sixths Grade. Unfortunately the Second Grade team missed qualifying out by just seven points. If they had been able to play and had won Saturday’s cancelled match against Yandina, they too would have been in the finals. First Grade The team move into the finals on top of the ladder which is shown here: 1.Tewantin-Noosa Thunder 183 points 2.Caboolture Snakes 156 points 3.Maroochydore Swans 117 points 4.Glasshouse Rangers 116 points Thunder First Grade team will play Glasshouse on Saturday and Sunday in a two-day match at Read Park, Tewantin commencing at 10am both days. The winner of this match will meet the winner of the Caboolture V Maroochydore match, also played over next weekend. The grand final will be played on 12, 13 and 19 March. The top run scorers for Thunder First Grade during the fixture season, were Lewis Waugh (983) and Jarrod Officer (579). Top wickettakers were Ben Laughlin (49), Dom Taylor (44) and Tom Stewart (41) Second Grade The team finished fifth on the table. Top run scorer was captain Josh Peters (298) with top bowling honours to Jason Toohey (28 wickets) and Harrison Lea (24). Fourth Grade The team struggled but had some good wins. Their top run scorer was Billy Lloyd-Green with 189 runs although he only played six matches and Tony Watson (187). Top wickettaker was captain and veteran Mike Thomson with 23. Sixth Grade The team had a great season and ended up second on the ladder, only two points behind minor premiers USC. This weekend will play Yandina at Dale Officer Oval in a bid to qualify for the grand final the following weekend. The top run scorer and wicket taker for the team was Wayne Moore who scored 316 runs and took 22 wickets during the season. Both the senior semi-finals will commence at 10am and it is hoped many players, ex-players, juniors and supporters will turn up to see their teams fight it out for the grand final at one of the Tewantin venues. The canteen and bar will be open on both days. Some of the junior cricket final’s matches washed out last weekend will be played over

Thunder has qualified for finals in first and sixth grades. the coming weekend. Vale Michael Sobey Last week, the Tewantin-Noosa Cricket Club was extremely saddened to hear of the passing of life member Michael Sobey who was one of the true legends of the club and the Sunshine Coast community. As anyone who ever met Michael would attest, he was truly an amazing man who would light up a room with his presence and would not hesitate to give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it. He leaves behind a beautiful family who he loved dearly. Michael had many loves and passions in his life and cricket was certainly one of those. Another passion was volunteering, so it took no time for Michael to join the club committee when his eldest son Nick, and later Paddy started playing cricket. He also had his arm twisted into playing which turned into 10-plus years as a captain, winning three premierships and playing 145 games for the club. Michael joined the executive committee in 2007-08 where he spent the next 10 years, serving the club for five years as president, four as vice president and one as secretary. It never felt anything could go wrong with Michael at the helm or in the background. If that was not enough, Michael was the junior coordinator for three of those years and he also served for five years on the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association Committee. Unsurprisingly, three of those years were as treasurer and one as vice president. The above does not even scratch the surface on the contributions Michael Sobey made to the cricket club and the community.

Semi final matches will be played this weekend.

Noosa Croquet Club to host come and try day As we begin to emerge from the restrictions of Covid, Noosa Croquet Club is preparing for a busy 2022 and beyond. The playing surfaces have recently been renovated and the grounds are looking welltended and provide an attractive setting for players and visitors. The recent rains have held up play for a few days just when everyone as becoming active again, and the croquet lawns and neighbouring Good Shepherd school oval have looked like a bird sanctuary. However, the club will be holding a come and try day on the morning of Sunday 6 March (weather permitting) for interested people. Members are asked to bring a friend, and the Noosa public is invited to attend. This will commence at 8.30am at the courts at Seashell Place, Noosa Waters (follow the signs), but visitors should be there a bit early – just be sure to wear a sunhat and flat-soled

Croquet courts waterlogged. shoes. See what a relaxing, interesting and even competitive sport croquet can be. Any queries, ring Colin Hindson on 0414 760 524. The club has been running its own internal golf croquet competition for its higher handicap players on Saturday afternoons

and players have enjoyed the on-court strategies and tactics needed. The Jan van der Linden Division 2 Handicap Singles is the club’s most popular event with 17 players competing over seven months. After three rounds, Bob Bull leads with Charlie Younger in secnd place and Lorry Ryan third.The competition runs until August with nine rounds still to play. Before then, the Noosa Club is hosting three events of the Regional Sunshine Coast Golf Croquet championships during March/ April where players from all over the Coast, from Caloundra to Bribie Island will visit Noosa to compete and we expect some serious competition here. The inter-club competitions will begin in April. Noosa will be entering teams in three levels of the golf croquet competition after winning the pennant and plate competitions

last year, and the association players will also be looking to put a team in the Lockwood Shield, maybe in conjunction with another club. The recent news for croquet on the Coast is that the 2022 National Golf Croquet Championships will be held at clubs in the area and all clubs are looking to see where they can help. Noosa will be doing its bit, and already Noosa Council has agreed to assist in preparing and assisting with these national championships – a way to showcase both the Noosa area and the Noosa club itself, as well as the other venues which will be involved. So we are all looking forward to a much more relaxed 2022, and anyone who feels the need to get outside and take off those masks for a while can come down to the Noosa Club at Seashell Place, Noosa Waters and have a look around. You will always be welcome - at any time. Friday, 4 March, 2022 NOOSA TODAY 45

Between The Flags Ron Lane

The silent saviours You don’t hear much about them. They are just a team of dedicated lifesavers who quietly go about their business: no drama no fuss. When they are called out, be it 1am in pouring rain or sun-up in flood times, their response is immediate. These are the clubbies of the Emergency Response Group. Last weekend you saw them on the TV Noosa (and other places) flood reports. Activated by the police and SLSQ’s regional manager to assist with flood work over the weekend, the ERG team of eight members with three, 4WDs and four inflatable rescue boats (IRBs) were on stand-by. Under the governance of Queensland Surf Life Saving and totally supported by the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, the teams according to a flyer released by Duty Officer David James, conducted back-up response to Queensland Fire and Emergency Service’s Water and Rescue Teams in the Lake Entrance Blvd area of Noosaville. They also conducted welfare water and land patrols at Lake Weyba Drive and around Noosa Waters and Noosaville, together with welfare checks and surveillance on the Noosa River at Noosaville. All teams maintained a status of readiness throughout the weekend, assisting emergency services. To become a member of the ERG team, the first requirement is, of course, to be a top driver or crewman with the experience and ability to handle all conditions, big surf, river conditions (massive flooding) and, above all, be familiar with all beaches, stretching from Noosa’s North Shore, Noosa Bar, West Beach, National Park and Alexandria Bay. Then comes the ability to handle night call outs, patrolling and search patterns, in the dark of night and pouring rain. Membership of this group is usually by invitation. The senior veterans will watch some young member who has shown great skills as a driver on the beach patrol roster and has a love of big surf, and, above al,l is self- disciplined and has the ability to work as a team member or individual. For the Noosa team, it started back in the 1991/9’2 season when a State Centre life guard Peter Whadcoat of the Noosa Heads SLSC came up with the idea. He formed his teams by taking crewies from the Jet Rescue Boat Service, experienced IRB crewmen and lifeguards and soon the concept was about to become a reality. Another Noosa clubbie to play a major role in the early days was present day duty officer David James. It was David who, in the early

days when crews were formed at Caloundra, Noosa and a centrally located beach, took the job as Sunshine Coast coordinator. In the very early days, the teams were known as the Emergency Surf Rescue teams. It wasn’t til some 10 years later that they became known as the Emergency Response Group, or ERGs. But perhaps the biggest problem facing the formation of such rescue organisation was the acceptance of the Inflatable Rescue Boat. When this craft first appeared on the scene old clubbies said, “No way this bloody rubber thing is not on: be no good in big surf.” However, no one gave a thought to a slim built middle-aged clubbie from North Cronulla named Harry Brown. Harry had total faith in this rubber boat and when North Cronulla was hit by a massive 12 ft surf, much to the amusement of the sceptics, Harry took the IRB out and forced his way through. Then on turning around for the run to the beach, while all clubbies were laughing and saying he’s going to get wiped out, it’s all over, not only did he reach dry sand, but also on the way back, was seen to hot dog down the front of the mountainous surf. It was all over. The IRB was accepted. Not only was this craft accepted on Australian beaches, but also in the years ahead, countries such as Japan and Bali came on board. The result of all this saw Harry Brown moved up through the ranks of the lifesaving movement and appointed to the position of IRB Officer on the National Council, the governing body of Surf Life Saving Australia. Add to this, his club North Cronulla, extended the rare honour of naming an executive room, The Harry Brown Room. While watching the weekend floods, and seeing a 93-year-old lady, being lifted into an IRB, I couldn’t help but think of that small clubbie who dared to dream. Your boats are everywhere mate, and they are still being used in the best way possible, the protection of human life. For David James our local IRB duty officer, (affectionally known to his team mates as DJ) it will certainly be a season to remember. It was DJ who recently, while driving a jet rescue ski and mat on patrol in big surf, backed his craft on to the end section of the Noosa rock wall to rescue two teenage boys trapped amongst the rocks. And now with our rivers in dangerous flood conditions, DJ along with his fellow team mates, have been on call for the duration of the floods. Definitely a team of quite achievers.

David James leads his elite emergency response team.

Ready for action.

Season on the move for Noosa Pirates Rugby League By Ron Lane For Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club, the season is definitely on the move. Club president Paul Dwyer is confident. “For our senior and junior grades our numbers are good right across the board. One thing we would like to see is more young girls joining to play tag football. These teams will start at U/11 and go through to the U/13,15 and 17. Our code is now really starting to spread its wings.” For head coach Brett Winkler the season is now full on. They recently travelled to the Sunshine Coast Stadium at Kawana where their four senior league teams (men’s Divisions,1,2 and U/18s and Open Women’s) took part in the inaugural Sunshine Coast 9s Tournament. The club flyer tells us that it was a big 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 4 March, 2022

day with teams from all-over south-east Queensland participating. Both the Men’s Division 1 and the Open Women’s played well and made it through to the semi-finals with both teams going down narrowly. The Division 2s and U/18s missed out on the finals but there were some great numbers and some very promising performances in their first hit-out of the year. Pirates Rugby League action will really go into overdrive at Pirates Park Tewantin from this Sunday 5 March with the first of three big weekends of footy action. This Saturday the Sunshine Coast do battle with the reigning Queensland Cup Premiers Norths Devils in Host Plus Cup action at 6pm. This will give Pirates supporters a chance to get up close and personal with some of the biggest emerging stars in the game, many of whom are being tipped to play NRL this season.

The undercard match at 4pm sees the Falcons versus the Devils Colts in the U/21 action. Supporters are advised to get there early as last year was a huge event with plenty of former Pirates players going round for the Falcons. This will be followed next weekend, Saturday 12 March by the first official 13-a-side trial game for the Noosa Pirates this season. The Division 1 & 2 teams will both turn out against Toowoomba Souths in what promises to be a great game, as both sides blow out the cobwebs to get their season underway. There is also a strong likelihood that the Wenches will also be going around as well on the day but stayed tuned on that one. Then to put an end to the triple treat, Saturday 19 March sees the mighty Pirates play Maroochydore in the final pre- season hit

out, before the competition officially starts two weeks later. Despite being just a trial game, there will be some fierce rivalry and plenty of feelings after the narrow loss to the Swans in last years final epic. Division 2 and U/18s will also be in action with play starting mid- afternoon, for a main game start around 6pm. This will make for another huge footy fixture at Pirate Park Tewantin. Make sure to note in your diary that the season will start with round one on 2 April. The Pirates are away for their first few games and will have their opening match on 23 April as part of the Anzac Day clash. With Brett having stepped aside as general manager of the Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club we thank him for his time and effort, and now wish him every success as head coach of the mighty Pirates.

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 7 Granite Ct, Noosaville, is set to go to auction at midday on Sunday, March 13. 270077 Starlight Suite has emerged as a very impressive and highly desirable property. “There is more than 100sq m of private roof terrace with spa and outdoor kitchen. “It’s a very rare offering - on the beachfront with the main bedroom looking over the sand and by far the biggest roof terrace on the beachfront. “The auction has been creating a lot of interest... genuine interest. “It’s the jewel in the crown, a trophy position.’’ Interest has been mainly interstate, and most already own property in Noosa so they understand values, Frank said. “They want that position. “The people who live here know what’s happening, what’s happened in recent years.’’ TOP-FLOOR APARTMENT IN DEMAND A two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 433 Sebel at 32 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, has been attracting offers and looks like going to contract ahead of auction day later this month. Frank Milat of Richardson & Wrench Noosa said the marketing campaign for the top-floor apartment had been strong. Fully furnished and self-contained with lift access, and views over Noosa River, the 100sq m apartment comes with car park on title.

three-bathroom house at 44 Ferguson St, Sunshine Beach, is set for auction at 11am on Saturday, March 5. Kathy Wise and Rob Spencer of Sunshine Beach Real Estate have been getting both local and interstate interest on the property, due mainly to the proximity to the beach and village, the privacy and the presentation. Anything designed by Tim Ditchfield is going to attract attention, and this is a good-sized house nestled in a quiet area close to everything, Rob said. “There is a road reserve at the back. “It is a lot of house and low maintenance. It could be a holiday house or for the whole family. “The swimming pool is in the north-east with the central courtyard and sunroom. “The bedrooms are all on the upper level with the main in a separate wing. “There is fully ducted air-conditioning, and lift access to all levels from the large garage with plenty of storage.’’ The house is distinguished by clean lines, open floor plans, and incorporates extensive use of glass to bring in natural light and emphasise the views. Rob and Kathy have listed another auction property in Sunshine Beach for later in the month - a five-bedroom, twobathroom house at 8 Weyba St. A beach house by the sea, across two levels and surrounded by lush tropical

gardens, this duplex-zoned address has a self-contained guest retreat with independent access. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE Nathan Howie at Noosa Estate Agents has a string of apartments and houses he is taking to auction over the next few weeks. They range from a four-bedroom, twobathroom house at Noosaville, to a threebedroom apartment along Noosa River and a four-bedroom house at Sunrise Beach. The single-level house with pool on 686sq m at 7 Granite Ct, Noosaville, is set to go to the market at midday on Sunday, March 13. “It’s a good house,’’ Nathan said, “in a pleasant, elevated position looking back to Noosa Hill. “It features a stunning kitchen with sleek, all-white cabinetry and quality appliances.’’ The dining area and lounge have sliding doors that open to alfresco areas, that include a sunny deck or poolside courtyard. There is a separate study, split system air-conditioning, fully-landscaped grounds and fenced yard. EXCITING OFFERING Eliza Coppin of Tom Offermann Real Estate is excited with the response to the auction of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom subpenthouse 33/24 Munna Cres, Noosaville, set for 1pm on Saturday, March 5. “There has been a lot of inquiry - a combination lot of local and interstate,’’ Eliza said. “It is coming from people who know the Noosa Pacific complex well, and the position within the complex. “It’s the centre one, with expansive river, river mouth and ocean views. “Apartments in a waterfront location, especially north facing, do not become available often. “This is a spectacular apartment and beautiful renovation. People tell me they are surprised at how big it feels.’’ Brilliantly renovated, the apartment features a galley-style kitchen with creamywhite stone-topped two-pac cabinetry and breakfast bar.

SOLID HIGHSET HOME THEODORA WINS “THIS property is possibly the last redevelopment site available for purchase in such a central location in Noosaville’’, said Petrea Pradella of Garwoods Estate Agents. Noosaville has finally been recognised internationally as a great place in which to live. It has everything anyone would need and only a short stroll to all. The tranquil Noosa River has an array of cafes and restaurants with the lovely view of the river whilst eating. Doctors, specialists, supermarkets and boutiques are also only within a short walk from anywhere within this central Noosaville location.” she said. The property for sale, being possibly one of the last development sites available, currently has a solid highest brick home situated to the front of the site. It consists of 4 bedrooms, office, 3 bathrooms, and 2 car spaces, including a self contained unit below. The original home, being to the front of the site, provides an generous rear north facing balance of land containing a pool. Being a development site, a purchaser

could elect to possibly place a cottage on separate title on this generous space and retain and renovate the existing home, as an option to building a large duplex. The home is in excellent condition with lovely timber hardwood floors. The rental income of this property is assured. “This is a safe, common- sense, purchase, as the position is prime, the land size of 673 m2 is generous, and the rental income assured. Being possibly the last site left available in this central Noosa hotspot, it would be advised to move quickly if interested in a obtaining a foot hold in the Noosaville area.” said Petrea. ●

RATEMYAGENT Australia’s number one reviews website and provider of digital marketing solutions for real estate agents - announced Theodora Garwood as the winner of its 2022 Agent of the Year award for Noosaville, which is a highly competitive area with many sales agents competing for the best properties in town. Theodora’s honest and upfront approach is a refreshing change in an industry that sometimes displays the opposite. To win means to have secured the highest satisfaction rating across the country - celebrating and recognising real estate agents and agencies that provide truly excellent client service to home buyers, sellers and landlords and placing Theodora in the top 5% in the country. This is a wonderful accomplishment for her. “Last year our Australian and New Zealand agents and mortgage brokers were faced with a period like no other. Agents and brokers in our industry had to go above and beyond for homeowners, from hosting virtual auctions and consultations to looking at new ways to sell homes and engage buyers. “Theodora is a resilient and hardworking agent who has a clear understanding and empathy for all types of people from all walks of life. She really does work miracles with

her multi talented skills which enable her to negotiate cleverly for all her sellers whilst keeping the buyer engaged with her efficient methods of communication”. Not once, would Theodora leave you guessing or waiting for a call back or an update on your property. She does not leave one stone unturned, and works often on a Sunday if necessary’’, said David Garwood, Principal of Garwoods Estate Agents Noosa. RateMyAgent is used by agents who sell 80% of all property in Australia - and high-performing agents are determined by real reviews from those who have bought or sold a home with the agent. ●

HOME FOCUS

PEACE AND TRANQUILITY THIS still new, one year old home positioned on a 4.8 acre allotment in the heart of nature’s stillness is just one dimension of an exciting opportunity to accommodate a multi-generational family. The four bedroom, two bathroom main residence is light, bright and open plan with high ceilings to encourage air flow. The spacious kitchen overlooks the family area and through to the calming bush backdrop. Boasting a 900mm freestanding oven, stylish stone bench tops, dishwasher, a new LG plumbed fridge/freezer and a butler’s pantry, everyday cooking and entertaining will be a pleasure. A thoughtful floor plan places the master bedroom with walk-through robe and ensuite at the opposite end of the house from the other bedrooms, a private retreat from the family or guests. Sliding doors open to the covered outdoor patio where you can talk to the birds, sip your morning cuppa and relax with the paper before the day starts. You might even spot a shy kangaroo! Windows and doors are fully screened and ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning ensures all year-round comfort. High quality flooring creates a welcoming, country feel, while the double garage provides convenient internal access. There’s also solar power to assist in reducing utility bills. The second dwelling which was once a liveable shed for the owners is an absolute treasure consisting of three bedrooms, one bathroom/laundry and a huge kitchen

with its own butler’s pantry! A 3 metre wide awning shades the side of the studio, whilst the front patio is tiled with Travertine tiles. Plantation shutters throughout give a mellow feel and split system airconditioning cools the hot summer nights. Frolic in the versatile 4 metre swim spa - the latest in aqua exercise, to socialise or relax in night or day. Jump in to beat the heat, allow the bubbling jets to soothe tired muscles, or gaze at the stars at night. You’ll never run short of water here as the owners have installed a purpose-built dam with a clever “convection” design and clay lining that circulates and purifies the water and there are an additional three x 22,500 litre rainwater tanks. Run chooks, grow vegetables, cultivate fruit trees - so

many options for a sustainable lifestyle. Three phase electricity connection will power all kinds of tools and equipment plus for emergency use the direct generator will plug in to the main power source. A carport will house your boat, van or mower. Located in a private cul-de-sac, 10 minutes to Tewantin village, 20 minutes to Noosa’s Main Beach and cosmopolitan enticements, 35 minutes to Sunshine Coast Airport, the home offers so many features you’ll be captivated. Small acre lots such as this are immensely popular, so be quick to inspect. Features at a glance: Main home - 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, double garage Kitchen with stone benchtops, butler’s
