Carla eyes Coolly Gold

By Abbey Cannan Surf Ironwoman Carla Papac has settled into the Noosa scene like a true local, and now the reigning champion is ready to put her training to good use at this weekend’s Coolangatta Gold.

Since switching Cronulla for Noosa a year and a half ago to train with legendary Ironman Darren Mercer, Carla has won the Coolangatta Gold 2022, scored a job at Noosa Physio as an Exercise Physiologist, and is now the first athlete to be sponsored by Bendigo Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa, Cooroy and Marcoola.

Surf Ironwoman Carla Papac returns to the Coolangatta Gold this weekend to take on the ultimate challenge.

Shark net furore

By Margie Maccoll The entanglement of a whale calf in shark nets on Main Beach last week drove home the importance for stakeholders to bring together factual data, community education and, as a united front, find an alternative solution to the nets during whale migration to keep both humans and marine life safe at Noosa beaches.

Led by Surfrider Foundation Australia secretary Caz Lansdown, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Noosa councillor Amelia Lorentson a meeting was called to discuss the shark nets. Invitations were sent to 22 Noosa organisations, including SLSC, Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Sea Shepherd, tour operators, scientists, conservationists, wildlife rescuers and surfers.

Caz said we know our nets are a problem, research is showing us they are not protecting swimmers but they are causing problems for wildlife.

“We didn’t only ask people who wanted the nets out, we invited a lot of people so we could get lots of views from lots of people,“ she said.

“We’ll take everything on board and with all the information we can put together a plan on how to proceed from here.“ Sandy Bolton chaired the vibrant and important discussion, describing the meeting as an excellent example of how community can work together to seek a reduction in the trauma to our marine wildlife, residents and visitors by the nets, whilst seeking similar levels of safety.

“To pilot a transition to alternative shark

control measures during whale migration season, we need a united request to the state government based on data and facts. This requires support from the wider community and key stakeholders including Noosa Council, as local government support is instrumental in state government determining where trials and transitions occur across the state,” she said.

A number of people at the meeting had witnessed the whale calf entangled in the nets earlier in the day and spoke of how distressing and devastating it had been to hear the young whale’s cries for help and see the net encasing it as it thrashed around, as it probably had for hours, in vain, to free itself.

Conservationist Bernard Jean called it appalling and tragic, saying no one knows the impact on the calf.

Sea Shepherd volunteer Taylor Ladd-Hudson said she had been devastated by the entanglement which had been reported at 5am with the calf released at 7.30am, 15mins after the shark net contractors arrived.

During the event wildlife rescuer Jarrah Small, 14, went to Main Beach with a sign “telling people there was a whale entangled now“ to make them aware of what was going on. Everyone was in support of getting rid of the nets,” she said. “Everyone had no idea a few hundred metres out there was a whale calf fighting for its life.“ In the past 12 months seven humpback whales have been entangled in shark nets on the Sunshine Coast.

Legends urge yes votes All-time tennis great and longtime Noosa resident Evonne Goolagong Cawley has joined forces with former Noosa mayor Bob Abbot in a poignant last-minute plea for local support of the YES vote.

De-amalgamation warrior Bob Abbot OAM is urging the Noosa community to remember the “pain of powerlessness” during the forced council amalgamation experience 15 years ago when they cast their vote in the Voice referendum this weekend.

Mr Abbot, who has been a calming voice of reason in social media arguments over the Indigenous Voice proposal, joins with Ms Goolagong Cawley in calling on our community to vote with their heads and their hearts at polling booths on Saturday, as this edition of Noosa Today concludes our three-month series Why I’m Voting Yes/No. The veteran councillor, who was one of the leaders of the thousands-strong anti-amalgamation protests more than a decade ago, said he was speaking out now to help any wavering Noosa voters make up their minds.

“In 2008, despite the strongest campaign mounted against amalgamation by any community in Queensland, we were excluded from the decision-making process, our views and local knowledge disregarded,” Mr Abbot said.

“We were told what to do rather than being

asked what we knew. We all remember the pain and frustration of that powerlessness.”

In the final days before polling, twice Wimbledon champion and proud Wiradjuri woman Evonne Goolagong Cawley has also urged people to “keep your eye on the ball and to focus on what really matters”.

She told The Australian newspaper in an article we reproduce today: “This referendum is a straightforward request from Aboriginal people: to be recognised and listened to on issues that affect our lives. That’s what you can say Yes to on Saturday. Yes to recognition, Yes to listening and Yes to giving Australia our best chance yet to close the gap.”

Ms Goolagong Cawley paid tribute to Noosa Shire locals, saying she was “greatly inspired by the thousands of people in my community and across the country who are coming together to say Yes. I believe in the simple goodness of every Australian heart. In particular I say to Australians from my generation, the people who gave me such wonderful and warm support on the biggest stage: stand with me now to help Australia grab this great opportunity.”

See Why I’m Voting YES/NO on pages 6-8

All eligible Australian voters will be required to vote by this Saturday 14 October in the Voice referendum.

The question that will be put to voters is whether “to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice“.

The explanation of the proposed Constitutional change has been outlined in the Australian Electoral Commission in its official referendum booklet posted out to voters, and follows: “In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia: “There shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, “The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; “The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.“ When you receive a ballot paper at the referendum, vote ’Yes’ if you agree with this proposed change to the Constitution, or vote ’No’ if you do not agree.

The AEC booklet contains authorised arguments for Yes and No. It says the Yes and No cases (which can be viewed at aec.gov.au/referendums/ pamphlet.htm) were authorised by a majority of federal members of Parliament and senators who voted Yes in one case and No in the other.

The AEC says the text was published in the booklet by the Electoral Commissioner without alteration.

Carla moved to Noosa to train with legendary Ironman Darren Mercer.

She’s been enjoying the lifestyle change after moving to Noosa.

Banking on Carla’s success

By Abbey Cannan Surf Ironwoman Carla Papac started nippers in the U6s at Cronulla SLSC, and from that point on, her parents couldn’t get her out of the water.

Getting competitive once reaching the older age groups, she started making appearances in the Nutri-Grain series but with inconsistent results.

With a plan of giving herself the best chance to train in ideal conditions, she made the move to Noosa in 2022.

“I wanted to give myself a really good training block and give myself the best opportunity to not just race the Coolangatta Gold but the Nutri-Grain and Summer of Surf series,“ Carla said.

“Noosa has a great reputation with Darren and Jordie (Mercer) and I had a chance to train with them before I moved up, and I had a good connection with both of them.

“One of the biggest things was the weather and lifestyle. I wanted to put myself into a little training camp where I had less distractions and I could be more of a selfish athlete.“ With Bendigo Bank jumping on board as a major sponsor, she’s looking forward to helping out with local initiatives.

“I feel very lucky that they’ve decided to support me. It takes away a huge financial burden,” Carla said.

“I’m excited to be backed by a communitybased bank that does a lot to give back to the community. They have so many great initiatives that I can’t wait to be involved in. We’ve got lots of ideas in the works.”

At last year’s Coolangatta Gold, she beat four time champion Courtney Hancock by 36 seconds. This time round, her preparation has been similar with a few key changes.

“It still feels surreal to hear that. Even though I did win, there’s still always lessons to take away from each race,” she said.

“I’ve been working with a local strength and conditioning coach from Noosa Barbell Club, Woogie Marsh. He’s amazing, he’s been so in-

The Surf Ironwoman has settled into the Noosa scene like a true local.

I’ve also been swimming with Kareena Lee and the JR group at NAC (Noosa Aquatic Centre), so I think it’s going really well.

“I feel really strong, fit and healthy. That’s all I can hope for and hope that I did enough to win. Definitely not the end of the season with the Coolangatta Gold, it’s more the start of the season.“ It’s always a challenge for athletes trying to fit in their work, as well as training, resting and recovering whilst also being social.

“But I love doing it all,“ Carla said.

“I went to uni and got my degree in exercise

physiology and I never saw myself as just being an athlete. I always wanted to try to make the most out of my potential.“ When it comes down to race day, Carla can get so nervous to the point where she almost doesn’t want to race.

“But Woogie Marsh told me that nerves are actually the same feeling as excitement. I’m trying to feel more excited. My family is coming up. I know that as soon as I get down there I’m going to be pumped,“ she said.

“I’m always in a little bit of fluster before the race. My Mum and Dad are very involved, so Mum will be pulling me away for a meditation and I’ll have someone else trying to ask me another question, but look, that’s how I live my life and I wouldn’t expect anything else for race day.

Carla is ready to put herself to the ultimate test.

“I like to go out into the surf and feel the ocean and try to get my heart rate up a little bit so it’s not as much of a shock when I go to race.”

After winning last year’s event, Carla feels the pressure to do it again, but it’s mainly coming from herself.

“I know that I’ll be so stoked with whatever result I get, as long as I give the performance as I can,“ she said.

“I’d like to give a shoutout to all the community sponsors that have helped me prepare; Integrated Rehab Centre and Noosa Surf Life Saving Club in general have been really supportive.

Of course, I want to extend a big thank you to the Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast team for their support in both my sporting endeavours and within the community.”

Shark nets under debate From page 1 Johnny Fell of Sunreef Mooloolaba said two days earlier another calf had become entangled at Mooloolaba and he’d received calls from distressed visitors, saying they had heard the mother screaming for hours on end.

Johnny said humpback whales were the only bycatch in the nets the public were aware of because their splashing made them visible from the shore.

From 2001-2023 there have been 18,000 animals caught in the shark nets of which 17,000 were vulnerable, threatened or endangered, he said.

“Being in the business of tourism and biodiversity, our whole business depends on biodiversity,“ he said.

He said the fatality rate of marine creatures caught in the net was “extremely high“ with all five species of shark under the control program euthanised after caught.

Johnny thinks removing the shark nets during whale migration would be fantastic but believes the conversation on it is quite complex.

“We all agree human life is paramount but we’re ignoring marine animals right to life,“ he said.

Long time surfer and Whale Song Noosa charter boat first mate Peppi said if people understood sharks they’d have no fear. “There are ways to deal with sharks,“ she said.

Peppi said every charter they do finishes at shark nets where she asks tourists “do they feel safe, do we need shark nets, just giving them the facts, not my opinion, and 100 per cent they all say why do we have shark nets“.

Surf lifesaver and former Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) director Greg Schumann provided information delivered in a NBRF-hosted Marine Species Protection symposium in 2021.

The symposium heard Noosa Main Beach has two 180m long, 8m deep shark nets locat-

Stakeholders met last week to discuss shark nets in Noosa Main Beach. ed about 80-90m from shore and three drumlines.

At the symposium Action for Dolphins CEO Hannah Tait said since 2001 there have been more than 670 marine animals captured in Main Beach shark nets and drum lines, including three whales, two dugongs, more than 30 dolphins, 120 rays as well as turtles.

Lawrence Chlebeck from the Humane Society International said a number of NSW Councils had stopped using shark nets in favour of smart drumlines.

The devices alert the drumline contractor when a baited hook is taken giving them about 30 minutes to release them.

Lawrence said during a trial of the smart drumlines there were 716 animals caught, 70

per cent of which were target sharks, with less than 1 per cent killed, due to a rapid response and the use of large circle hooks.

Flinders University Associate Professor Charlie Huveneers who has studied shark bite mitigation measures for more than 10 years told the symposium there was a plethora of alternate shark control measures available with none 100 per cent foolproof.

Charlie put forward three methods of reducing the incidence and severity of shark bite. These involved reducing the interaction between sharks and humans with measures such as enclosures and early warning systems, using personal deterrents to reduce the likelihood of shark bite and using specially made swimwear to reduce the severity of shark bite.

Having scientifically tested personal deter-

rents he said only electrical-based deterrents proved to have some ability to deter sharks.

Greg told last week’s meeting the Main Beach shark nets had plenty of gaps for sharks to swim around and were designed for bull sharks.

“Bull sharks go into the river to breed.

You’ve got more risk of getting bitten in the river system than the sea,“ he said.

Greg said as a patrolling lifesaver it was common practice to go along the nets to check to see there was nothing in the nets that shouldn’t be there. That stopped when they brought in a law you couldn’t be within 20m of nets or you’d cop a large fine, he said. That was aimed at people taking some very damaging pictures of what was in the nets that shouldn’t be, he said.

Discussion held to replace shark nets during whale migration with other shark deterrents.

From page 4 Greg said the symposium also looked at drone use to spot sharks at Main Beach.

“In the trial they did see sharks around quite a bit and everyone’s not aware of it,“ he said.

NBRF executive coordinator Sharon Wright said she worked with Department of Fisheries (DAF) to get gain funding for a research project and on an education program aimed at surfers, (as the ones most at risk of shark attack), off the ground and what the state government was looking for was community collaboration.

She said DAF would not consider shark net removal in Noosa until 2025 when the research program was completed.

There was discussion in the group about the replacement of shark nets with drum lines as an interim measure with mixed comments on the impact of drum lines on whales, though there appeared to be fewer instances of whales

or dolphins caught on drum lines.

Everyone agreed on the need for more community education.

Cassie from Sea Shepherd said the “middle ground“ of people didn’t have a real understanding of shark nets.

“We’ve found people think it’s a barrier, that’s why they think they’re safe,“ she said.

“It’s a fishing net floating in the water, not a barrier.

“There’s people who think we’re advocating for marine life over human. We want to keep everyone safe.”

Retired marine biologist, conservationist and returning NBRF member Peter Hunnam said the group should draw on NBRF to bring the elements together.

“There’s a lot of strands of stuff happening and that needs to happen. As a scientist it’s important to keep on the ball, keep on the trials,

see how we can do this better, what we can do and get some more education out,“ he said.

“We can do all these things. It’s great to see different groups doing different stuff if we can harness this stuff. NBRF will be helping you pull this together.

“The purpose of the biosphere is to find ways we can live in harmony with nature - that’s what it’s all about - use the biosphere.

“Uniquely in the world we have three biospheres side by side. There’s a huge opportunity to get some actification of this stuff by invoking three reserves.“ Mick Court of Noosa World Surfing reserve said the reserve had done a lot of work in community education with regard to surfing etiquette. Different community groups have different needs and different attitudes, he said.

When it comes to the shark nets, apart from the environmental impact on wildlife, there needs

to be safety.

“There has to be consideration for what if something happens. We have to have a combined approach if something happens,“ he said.

Sharon agreed there had to be measures in place in the case of a shark bite and to make people aware something could happen. We’re not going to say sharks aren’t there, she said.

Tourism Noosa CEO Sharon Raguse said she saw visitors coming to Noosa because of its natural assets but exposing the visiting public to distressing scenes was not a good look.

“There’s a push from people to see wildlife in its natural habitat,“ she said.

“That group who visits is becoming stronger and stronger. There’s a growing awareness.

“From a tourism point of view should someone have an accident, should there be an attack, what is the response?

“Our visitation, our reputation is important.”

Sandy believes there is a real need for a working group. It’s important. We need a portal to gather information, to have discussions with organisations, to show this is what we’re doing, to move to where we have an agreement, she said.

Someone can build together what that campaign looks like and we can take that message forward - whether it’s a transition to use something else during whale migration. We just have to have open and honest conversations, she said.

Sandy said in her Noosa MP survey this year 60 per cent of respondents supported removing the shark nets.

“I look forward to working with the, to be formed working group, ultimately resulting in a Noosa MP survey by March 2024, and ask those who are not on our subscribers list to do so to ensure your voice is included in a Noosa ’position’ by heading to www.sandybolton.com or calling my office on 53193109 “I acknowledge that shark nets are a State issue and fall within the State’s remit,“ Cr Amelia Lorentson said. “However, Council is a stakeholder, and although guided by State on this matter, it is my opinion, that we still need to have a seat at the table. What matters to this community, matters to me.”

WHY I’M VOTING NO

Residents call for no vote Carl Beck, Bob Birkhead, John Hayward, Jim Bennett, Paul Cummins, Garry Church, Craig Jenkins, Ken Weir We are a group of concerned local citizens who firmly believe the Voice Referendum will not answer the issues on the ground for aboriginal communities, especially those in remote areas that are away from the urbanised communities. We are most certainly not racist and by no means are we stupid in voting no. How will another ‘bureaucratic will’ make any difference to the host of social issues that successive governments and over 3500 funded government aboriginal groups have been unable to fix over decades? Despite billions of dollars being provided to aboriginal organisations there is no clear evidence of major improvements.

As Australians, irrespective of political views, there is clear evidence that we do care about the many social issues that face aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people across this great nation.

There are plenty of existing Voices, with funded organisations and existing parliamentary representation. This Voice proposal will not provide the answers and will become another bureaucracy that fails to address issues going forward.

Rather than the words of a pop song by John Farnham that, something that asks the question ‘try and understand it’, something we have not been given the details about, we should be listening to the chorus of an iconic song by The Seekers that say ‘We are one but we are many and from all the lands on earth we come – we share a dream and sing with ONE voice – I am , you are, we are Australian’.

Lyrics that unite us as one and not create division among Australian people.

Do we want to create an Australia that is based on division by enshrining one group of Australians from other Australians in our constitution?

Do we want to have a nation for our children and grandchildren that is based on such a division? Our nation has been developed by people of many backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures and practices- people who have made a very significant contribution to our wonderful nation – people who care about the aboriginal and torres strait islander people – people like us who are concerned about whether well intended funding does in fact reach those in need.

Surely our aim should be to unite to ensure funding gets to those in need rather that perpetuate division that this proposal has already caused.

This proposal has caused the greatest division in our history – friendships have been put at risk, communities, and people within those communities, have been subjected to criticism

Cast your vote on the Voice referendum by this Saturday. and abuse, claims of racism if you say you are expressing your democratic right to say no.

This is not the Australia we grew up in and the combined role of activists is clear – it’s all about power, control and pressure being applied to our current system.

Statements by the activists for the other side have clearly outlined that agenda. Do you want these people calling for reparations, pay the rent and to punish politicians pushing the Voice barrow with very clear risks for the future? – not this group of concerned citizens.

The entire crux of the referendum has to be HOW will the Voice change what needs to be done on the ground? The proposal in so many ways is built around emotional calls about the conditions on the ground, but there is very little detail on just how this can be achieved when history has shown so many advisory bodies and voices have failed miserably to achieve positive and long term outcomes.

Let us be quite clear we share the concerns but do not believe this proposal will bring about much needed change.

Let’s look at the Uluru Statement from the Heart – has this been accepted as the way forward by all aboriginal mobs across Australia?the very clear answer is no. In fact the statement was rejected by many including groups who walked out of the discussions. It was rejected by the traditional owners of Uluru and despite this rejection by numerous elders, names were added to the canvas that they did not endorse. These elders want the Australian public to know about the lie that is being sold to them as being factual. They are also reported to have rejected the statement as being dangerous and that the canvas should be torn up. Given that mobs across the country do not support the statement, why should we?

So many remote mobs were not even given the opportunity to have a say. Sorry but in our view this divisive statement has more holes in it than Swiss cheese and the repeated denials by our Prime Minister on the content of the statement, compared to that of activists, has to be an area of real concern – just who can you trust here? Many red flags flying with this constant contradiction of real intent.

The question needs to be asked as to why are monies not getting to those in need on the ground? Reported statements by an esteemed aboriginal elder of the Narrunngga mob state that over the past three decades a growing number of Not For Profit groups have capitalised on the feeding frenzy for aboriginal dollars.

It is reported that many millions of dollars have been wrought by individuals within those groups. There is no accountability as to what percentage of the many billions being given to these groups actually gets to those in need – no audit – no transparency. This is a major area of concern and the entire governance just needs a complete investigation.

When you look at the total spend each year on funding for the over 3500 funded organisations to support 3.2 per cent of our population, reportedly at near to $39 – 40 billion, do you know that this is almost as great as the total government spend for the entire country of some $39.5 billion on Medicare? – Surely we need answers on current funding models.

Another area of concern is what just happens to the many millions of dollars paid to elites by mining companies in terms of royalties. It is reported that the reason lies in the way payments with the money being given to elites are structured. Minimal amounts of these royalties are being used to improve living conditions, according to the esteemed elder of the Narrunngga mob, with further claims that many are also claiming Centrelink benefits and reportedly not disclosing the royalty payments.

There are real holes in the system that are costing the taxpayer and mining companies billions of dollars each year but with very little improvement on the ground. There has to be a better way.

An area that is also of concern are reports that native title claims are in the wind for Noosa Shire – similar to the $210 million dollar claim for the Redlands area in SEQ - a claim to be met by Council and we would suggest ultimately by the ratepayers – is the community aware that reparations, pay the rent are critical aspects by the activists going forward?

There are many risks, uncertainty and lack of detail about this Voice proposal and as a result ,we, the undersigned, are Voting NO – Join us in Noosa say NO.

WHY I’M VOTING YES

Remember 2008 and vote

By Former Noosa Mayor, BOB ABBOT, who says Noosa’s forced amalgamation shows why the Voice is a winner If my decades in local government have taught me one thing, it’s that genuine, informed community participation is always beneficial to good decision-making.

Whether it’s traffic management at a local level, environmental protection at a regional level or indeed international trade at a national level, ideas or plans that are “good in theory” can always be improved when decision makers have the benefit of local wisdom about how things really work on the ground.

The residents of Noosa Shire need look back no further than the forced amalgamation of our council in 2008. Despite the strongest campaign mounted against amalgamation by any community in Queensland, we were excluded from the decision-making process, our views and local knowledge disregarded. We were told what to do rather than being asked what we knew. That resulted in a damaging decision foisted upon us by those who insisted they knew better.

We all remember the pain and frustration of that powerlessness.

I was privileged to join with thousands from my community in their opposition to forced amalgamation in 2008. As history records, the community achieved a great outcome when, in 2013, more than 80 per cent of us voted Yes in the de-amalgamation referendum.

Finally, our message was heard. But not

We’re voting yes! Bob Abbot and mate.

Picture: SUPPLIED

without considerable financial and social cost to the Noosa community over those six years of stress and anguish.

This weekend we vote in another referendum, this time to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Australian Constitution by establishing a Voice to Parliament to give advice on Indigenous policies and programs. This is a request which has come directly from First Nations people in the gracious and courageous Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Those who know me know that this is something dear to my heart. I’m privileged to have worked with Indigenous councils in

Queensland. I have mentored many Indigenous mayors and have been fortunate to have learnt from the experiences of their communities.

When I consider what we are being asked to do at this referendum, I am struck by how relevant it is to us in Noosa Shire. Living through enforced amalgamation is nothing like what many Indigenous communities still experience. But in our own way, I believe we can relate somewhat to the pain and perils of voicelessness.

We know how badly governments can get it wrong when they don’t ask for the views of the people affected by their decisions. Our own experience tells us that!

I’ve spoken to a lot of local people about this. Those conversations fill me with hope that our community can empathise with the aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in their quest for Constitutional recognition as the First Nations people of our country and for a Voice to Parliament where they can be heard. Just as we were in 2013.

I believe people in this community can readily understand that the complex challenges facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in areas like health, housing, education and justice can be more effectively tackled if we give those same people a say.

We can see that recognising and listening to First Nations people will enrich us all as individuals and as a nation, while offering the potential to lift up some of our most disadvantaged peoples.

When we get to the polling place on Saturday, let’s keep our own lived experience in mind.

Let’s answer the gracious call from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and vote YES for a better future. Let’s use our voice to give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples the Voice they so desperately want and need.

‘Let’s do it again’: legend

By Evonne Goolagong Cawley AC MBE When I was a little girl, I remember hiding under the bed so I wouldn’t be taken from my mum. You wouldn’t know how terrifying that was for a kid, even now.

I grew up in an Australia where being Aboriginal was frankly unfair and cruel. Many of my childhood memories have stayed with me through my life. I remember how lucky I felt to be scouted at a young age.

And I have never forgotten this simple thought: if the 1967 referendum had happened three years later, I wouldn’t have been able to leave Australia without permission; maybe I wouldn’t have won Wimbledon.

But the ’67 referendum did happen. We did it then, let’s do it again. I’ve been on this journey of constitutional recognition for a long time and this is the last chance of my lifetime. I know how far our country has come, together.

I know we can take the next step, together.

This referendum is a straightforward request from Aboriginal people: to be recognised and listened to on issues that affect our lives.

That’s what you can say Yes to on October 14. Yes to recognition, Yes to listening and Yes to giving Australia our best chance yet to close the gap. That is why I am committed to running my education program for Indigenous kids, because I want to see the gap close. My program is all about keeping kids in school and helping them to lead healthy lives. I know only too well what it means to be on the wrong side of that gap.

Three members of my own family have passed away prematurely, robbed of years of life by preventable heart conditions. That has been the past, and it is the cruel reality of the present – but on October 14 we have the opportunity to make sure it isn’t the future.

Of course, there are some who want to try to make you think this referendum is about a whole lot of other unrelated stuff. Twisting this

Evonne Goolagong request from Aboriginal people into something it isn’t.

All this noise and nonsense is designed to frighten people into saying No. We saw the same thing done in the past with Mabo and with the apology. But history proved them wrong. Every single time they have cast shad-

ows, the bright Australian sunshine has proved stronger.

So I’m asking you to keep your eye on the ball and to focus on what really matters.

Through all my years of competitive tennis, something I carried in my heart every time I

stepped out on to the court was the knowledge that my success depended on my willingness to listen to others.

For Aboriginal people, knowledge is traditionally passed down by our elders, so I listened to those who knew better than me and, most important, knew how to make me better.

That’s how I was able to get to the absolute top of my game.

And that’s something we can all do together on October 14.

We can commit to listening. We can say Yes to governments finally listening to the people and communities who can make us all better.

That’s how we’ll all get to the top of our game as a nation.

There’s nothing for Australia to fear from recognising and celebrating 65,000 years of shared history and there’s nothing to lose from giving the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children the chance to fulfil their potential.

There is so much to gain.

At the start of my career I had so much support from my home town of Barellan in NSW, and that has given me so much heart along the way. I’ve been greatly inspired by the thousands of people in my community and across the country who are coming together to say Yes. I believe in the simple goodness of every Australian heart. In particular I say to Australians from my generation, the people who gave me such wonderful and warm support on the biggest stage: stand with me now to help Australia grab this great opportunity.

You’ve cheered for me. Now, please, vote with me: vote Yes. Evonne Goolagong Cawley AC MBE Noosa resident, former tennis world number one, Wiradjuri woman (This piece was first published in The Australian newspaper.)

Surviving the tourist boom

By Phil Jarratt It seems like a lifetime ago but in fact it’s only five years since then-mayor Tony Wellington burst the bubble of Noosa’s rapidly escalating tourism boom by boldly declaring that our town was in danger of being “loved to death”.

Mayor Wellington didn’t coin the phrase – it had been used many times in reference to overcrowded tourist meccas like Waikiki and Venice – but his grim warning not only resonated across the community but also polarised it, with the tourism industry, its workers, boosters and investors on one side and the lifestyle-loving sea-changers on the other. The erudite Wellington made the headlines when he told a Noosa Parks Association forum that the then tourism level was not sustainable, but he concluded hopefully: “My vision for 10 years from now is to have a Noosa where people can move around freely and in which the lifestyle, the living amenity of residents is maintained and not compromised.”

The following year, 2019, when tourist numbers and revenue had not only increased but reached record levels, Cr Wellington warned a Regional Cooperation and Development Forum that Noosa was bracing for a “building tsunami of day trippers”. He said: “There are residents who are increasingly frustrated by the traffic congestion, the crowds and the difficulty of getting access to key locations within their own shire. And if we leave that unchecked, that resentment will continue to grow.”

The day tripper tsunami would come “with the south east corner of Queensland expected to balloon by almost two million more people by 2041 and the Sunshine coast expecting growth of 200,000.”

Of course Covid intervened and changed the way we thought about a lot of things, including how much we loved our own backyard, but roll on to late 2023 and last week, we find Noosa Council unveiling the first of a series of community workshops canvassing many of the same ideas, this time emanating from a brand new Destination Management Plan discussion paper, as part of a broad community consultation which concludes at the end of this month. But the difference now is that the consultation is being conducted under the black cloud of the State government’s proposed South East Queensland Plan, which threatens to unleash population growth on a scale way beyond what Tony Wellington was concerned about.

And regardless of whether Noosa is able to withstand State pressure to accept growth levels more than twice what the Noosa Plan considers acceptable carrying capacity, there is nothing the shire can do about the growth of our neighbouring local government areas.

Think a “tsunami” of monumental proportions every weekend.

Despite such dire threats to the Noosa we know and love, Council’s Destination Management Plan architects, working with an expert project control group and a larger external community advisory panel, have taken a positive outlook into the preparation of the discussion paper, subtitled “Growing Well Together”.

The 24-page document is in two parts. The first

DMP project team’s Caroline Osborne and Andrew Saunders. outlines Noosa’s tourism history, the reasons for its phenomenal success and its current community values and response to tourism, acknowledging its impact on community by noting: “This is not a new challenge we are facing; this is also not a pro or anti tourism issue; this is about ensuring we continue to manage Noosa Shire’s success and maintain the balance as an iconic destination and a great place to live.”

The second part invites community engagement, presenting a “series of fact-based opportunities and issues outlining what is being experienced in Noosa Shire today, what initiatives Council currently has in place and is planning, and a range of examples Council could adopt based on community feedback”.

Four “scenarios” are presented – do nothing, steady state (current strategy), aspirational (gradual change) and transformational (profound change) – designed to test the level of change the community desires.

The last two scenarios feature the most radical proposals.

They include paid parking for visitors in Noosa’s main Hastings Street, Noosa Parade and Gympie Terrace during peak periods.

A transformational suggestion from the council was to make access to Noosa National Park along Park Road accessible only by a free bus during peak periods.

While there are virtually no ideas that haven’t been canvassed previously, either within the scenarios or anywhere else in the discussion paper, early media response has jumped on ideas like paid parking, booking for national park visits and bus access only to the Headland section of the national park, peak times pedestrians only on Hastings Street, and one-way traffic flow as examples of fundamental changes to the Noosa lifestyle under consideration. In fact, the paper represents an even-handed, intelligent approach to drawing

out community opinion on how our Noosa future is to be shaped.

Noosa Today sat down with one of the authors of the paper, Andrew Saunders, and Council’s community engagement adviser Caroline Osborne on the eve of the project’s first workshop, to drill a bit deeper into the aims and aspirations of the Destination Management Plan.

Noosa Today: Reading the discussion paper, it seems to me there’s been a quantum leap since the idea of a DMP was first bandied around by Tourism Noosa when it was all about protecting the “visitor experience” and the “Noosa brand”. Are we more interested in protecting the community now?

Andrew Saunders: There’s a couple of things to unpack there. One is that Tourism Noosa is the destination manager for the visitor, not the whole community. Council is the destination manager for the community in all its facets.

Caroline Osborne: What I’m hearing is that tourism was very much driven from the perspective of the industry at that time, but we were given a clear understanding from the project control group and the external reference group that our tourism future needs to come from a community understanding in terms of balancing their wants and needs.

That’s been reinforced by our liveability study and other input that suggests a movement away from a branding focus.

Andrew: In Noosa, as in many destinations post-Covid, there has been a rethink on the visitor economy and its impacts, largely because communities had the opportunity to rediscover their destination without the visitor. Council here became aware of a shift in community sentiment against the level of visitation, which because of interstate lockdowns over Covid added greatly to traffic congestion and general overcrowding. So with the DMP, project manager Lynne Banford and I have flipped it

from when it would typically have been written by the destination marketing organisation to making it a community-led document.

NT: That’s a hell of a balancing act.

Caroline: And that’s why community engagement is so important.

Andrew: For a DMP to have the desired effect, we need the community to lead the behavioural change. We need residents to feel that they are having a direct impact on what is decided.

NT: A year ago, after the composition of the project control group was announced, Cr Lorentson wrote: “It is important that our community welcomes visitors and supports tourism.” Is that still the position, or can the community decide that it doesn’t want to support tourism growth?

Andrew: There’s a quote from (psychologist and strategist) Anna Pollock: “It’s not necessarily about less or more, but about what more is.” So we aren’t really about fewer people, but more people with values in line with the values of the shire. Not so much “value over volume” but “values over volume”.

NT: I was intrigued by the structure of this operation, with a small expert advisory group on the one hand and a much larger external advisory group. How did that work in practice?

Andrew: To get it right there needs to be a huge level of engagement, so it was a natural process to ask the community to put in expressions of interest if they could contribute. From that we chose those with expertise in the areas we needed to be in the control group, but there was also a depth of knowledge right through the applicants, so we decided to invite them to be part of the process too, and they became the community lens.

NT: So were they the guinea pigs for the consultation that’s happening now?

First DMP workshop in progress.

Cover of the discussion paper.

Surviving the tourist boom From page 10 Andrew: To a degree. We certainly made changes to the paper and to the engagement process based on our meetings with them.

NT: And did that mean that you went into the consultation process knowing what the community sentiments were?

Andrew: Well, we knew what the issues were and the pathways to solutions, but we still have to hear it from the community. We’re very strong on that.

Caroline: We haven’t gone out and asked people specifically about the DMP, more about

what they want as a community, and from the coffee chats so far, I’m hearing an affirmation of what we saw in the liveability survey. The “different by nature” philosophy is really important to them for the destination going forward. The challenge for us is what that looks like to manage.

Andrew: It’s interesting to see how aware people are of the SEQ Plan and many have spoken out about that and the need to be strong against the push from the State and protect what we have.

NT: From a tourism perspective, even if we win

for the shire we still have a day tripper problem being multiplied.

Andrew: That’s right. We might win the fight to keep the Noosa plan but down the road they’ll be building high-rises from which people will drive up here on a Sunday.

NT: What can be done?

Andrew: Well, we’re not interested in building multi-storey car parks, we’re not interested in making it easier for the day tripper to come here and park. If they’re going to come we’d like it to be on our terms where they park and ride, catching public transport in so that their

impact is lessened. From an industry perspective the drive market is seen as being less attractive because of its lower spend, but the fact is that the community doesn’t care whether they’re internationals or interstaters or day trippers, they’re still here! But there is no doubt that the SEQ Plan is going to make it very challenging and complex for all of us.

In next week’s conclusion to Surviving the tourist tsunami, we examine the DMP scenarios for change. If you want your voice heard, visit yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au or email mail@ noosa.qld.gov.au

Laundry Lady hooks Shark It’s the laundry-busting idea that scored a $1 million investment offer on the latest episode of The Shark Tank.

Laundry Lady, which operates from a Sunshine Coast headquarters but has contractors Australia-wide, received the season’s top offer on a recent episode of the Channel 10/10 Play hit TV show.

Laundry Lady chief executive officer Susan Toft, who pitched her mobile laundry service to the five investors, says the seven-figure offer from Canadian businessman and US shark Robert Herjavec will really “catapult” growth.

“Such a significant investment will help get our name into even more international markets like the USA and Canada, where we plan to launch in the next couple of years,” Susan said.

“It will allow us to better streamline our systems, and have the staff in place to manage the growing number of customer enquiries and recruitment of Laundry Ladies and Lads.”

This year, Laundry Lady kickstarted its international operations by launching into New Zealand.

“Our first three Laundry Ladies and Lads have officially signed up in New Zealand, and we’re off to the Women’s Lifestyle Expo in Christchurch this coming weekend (7 and 8

Laundry Lady CEO with Shark Robert Herjavec.

October) to spread the word in the local market.”

The growth into New Zealand follows a successful grant from Trade and Investment Queensland.

Susan says the deal (touted as the highest offer of the season!) is a great outcome for The Laundry Lady.

“I’m thrilled Robert could see the potential in our business, offering even more money than we asked for in the pitch; showing the real value of what I’ve managed to build from the ground up.”

While growth has really accelerated in the last few years, the initial idea for The Laundry Lady started on the Gold Coast back in 2012.

“My lightbulb moment came when I saw my family’s clothes piled high in the spare room,” Susan says of Laundry Lady’s humble beginnings.

“I knew this was a service I needed as a busy working mum,” she says.

Seeking a better work life balance, she kicked off her entrepreneurial journey as a sole trader - empowering other women (and men) to launch their own businesses with a scalable work from home model.

Today, Laundry Lady is an Australia-wide service with a team of 200-plus Laundry Ladies and Lads; a number that’s growing weekly.

Customers include busy families, businesses, and NDIS customers - who can all book affordable and reliable wash, dry, fold and ironing services at the click of a button.

Laundry Lady has already garnered significant attention on the local and national business scene, taking out the Trades and Services large business category in the 2022 Sunshine Coast Business Awards, and claiming QLD finalist status in the 2023 Telstra Best of Business Awards for Outstanding Growth. It is once again a finalist in the 2023 Sunshine Coast Business Awards (Trades and Services), with winners to be announced later this year.

The launch of Sunshine Coast to Darwin with Bonza, at The Crocodile Hunter Lodge by Australia Zoo.

FOCUS ON TRAVEL

VIP Tour at Crocosaurus Cove, Darwin.

Unlock new experiences Now is the time for locals to travel to the Northern Territory (NT) and unlock a whole new world of experiences.

It was recently announced that Darwin will join the growing list of new connections from Sunshine Coast Airport, with direct services between the two tourism destinations taking flight from 29 November.

This will be the first time direct services between Darwin and the Sunshine Coast have flown, a significant milestone for Australia’s fastest-growing airport. The announcement was made at The Crocodile Hunter Lodge by Australia Zoo, celebrating the new link be-

tween the two croc capitals of Australia and the incredible wildlife that connects us.

With direct flights on the new Bonza service set to start from as low as $149 one-way, could the NT be calling you?

Whether you’re keen to bust out the fishing rod on a charter, explore rugged natural landscapes or delve deep into exciting cultural experiences – there’s no time like the present to experience everything Darwin and the NT have to offer.

You could start at the world heritage listed Kakadu National Park, renowned for its cultural and natural values. Feel yourself come alive

amongst the lush rainforests, rocky gorges, serene swimming pools and the oldest Aboriginal rock art in the world. Covering nearly 20,000 square kilometres, Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and just waiting for you to explore it.

Maybe Darwin is more your speed. Take some time to explore the local cuisine, the vibrant Parap Markets or explore some of the city’s incredible history. You could take part in the famous Million Dollar Fish competition and catch yourself a red tagged barramundi hooking yourself a fortune.

Finally, you could take a trip to Crocosau-

rus Cove and come face to face with some of the world’s biggest crocodiles! You could even take a swim with one by stepping into the famous ‘Cage of Death’ – there is something for everyone.

With record passenger numbers and destination growth, there are now more people travelling from Sunshine Coast Airport than ever before.

Get ready for disaster season as bushfire threat nears ‘Get Ready’ event on Saturday to help residents prepare for bushfires Emergency services will be on hand at Pomona’s Stan Topper Park this Saturday with advice for residents on preparing homes and families for bushfires, storms and floods this summer.

The Get Ready event is part of Get Ready Week which runs from October 9 to 15.

“Saturday’s event brings together our disaster management partners from across the region to provide critical information for our community to build resilience ahead of the disaster season” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

The event runs from 7am to 12 noon in Stan Topper Park, as part of the weekly Pomona Markets.

Council’s Climate Change Adaptation Project Coordinator, Shayan Barmand, said it was critical for the Noosa community to be prepared this summer.

“We’re already seeing extreme conditions in some parts of Australia, with parts of New South Wales being put on alert for ‘cata-

strophic’ fire danger,” he said.

“The Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed that an El Nino weather pattern is currently underway, while the World Meteorological Organization has advised that the planet just had its hottest three-month period on record.

“Bushfires, heatwaves, droughts, floods and storms are becoming more severe and frequent due to climate change.”

Disaster Resilience Officer Ian Williams said a wide range of Noosa emergency services partners will be on hand on Saturday to provide advice.

“Whether this will be your first summer in Noosa or you’re a long-time local, come along and learn how you can prepare your family and pets for severe weather,” Mr Williams said.

Hard copies of Noosa’s Emergency Action Guide will be available for residents. The guide is also available digitally from Noosa Council’s Disaster Dashboard at disaster. noosa.qld.gov.au

All top news from council Council’s response to draft SEQ Regional Plan As many of you may know, Noosa Council have finalised our submission to the Qld Government outlining concerns we have with the draft SEQ plan and its likely implications for Noosa. Our submission included concerns that the plan doesn’t provide for any state funded infrastructure needed to cater for the extra 19,100 people the plan requires Noosa to accommodate by 2046 and an additional 11,300 anticipated by 2026. The plan puts at risk Noosa’s iconic values- previously protected by state legislation- such as low-rise development and lack of traffic lights. Similarly, building heights that are referred to in the draft seq regional plan have not been part of Council’s planning vision for the Shire, nor is there community support for the increased heights outlined in the plan. Similarly, the plan makes no recognition of the work Council has already done to address our community’s housing issues, including developing a comprehensive Housing Needs Analysis, monitoring the impact of short-term accommodation on permanent housing and adopting a Housing Strategy.

Finally, it is Council’s submission that the draft plan is vague around the delivery of social and affordable housing as well as build-to-rent housing. Our submission to the State Government was ratified and supported by all councillors in a Special Council Meeting last week.

Get Ready Month As we move towards the middle of October 2024, Noosa Council is hosting a Get Ready event on Saturday 14 October from 7am-12pm

in Stan Topper Park, as part of the weekly Pomona Markets. All of our Noosa emergency service partners will be there to share how you can Get Ready ahead of the bushfire season. Come along and learn how you can prepare your family and pets for severe weather.

It’s all about preparing earlier, planning better and supporting each other more. Noosa Council have in the past three years significantly increased our fire management and mitigation practices and strategies. Over the past 12 months Council delivered via our new in-house fire safety officer, four in-house controlled burns, while 16 staff now have nationally accredited fire training and the Fire-tech program is testing AI and other tech to detect, predict, and remotely fight bushfires. This is a world first and is right on our doorstep at the Peregian Digital Hub. We have also, since the fires in 2019, increased our fire mitigation and management budget by over 100 per cent and continue to work closely with all emergency services, especially Qld Fire and Emergency Service. As much as we can mitigate and prepare, we need everyone to do their bit and we need your help so please come along and learn how to best prepare your family, your home, and your pets in the case of severe weather.

Hardcopies of Noosa’s Emergency Action Guide will be available for all residents, but this is also available digitally on Noosa Council’s Disaster Dashboard at disaster.noosa.qld. gov.au. The Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed that El Nino is now underway, and with the World Meteorological Organisation recording that the planet just had its hottest three-

month period on record, this summer is highly likely to bring severe heat and fire weather. Get Ready week runs from 9-15 October 2023 and is the time to make sure you’re prepared for severe weather and bushfires this summer.

Council’s War on Waste Finally, Noosa Council has launched a new polystyrene thermal processing machine at our Eumundi-Noosa Road waste facility, as well as the new Containers for Change reverse vending machine. It means we can process polystyrene in-house sparing an estimated 50 tonnes- the size of two Olympic swimming pools- of polystyrene from ending up in our landfill each year. The machine will save us over $380,000 annually in landfill costs and help reduce emissions and conserve valuable landfill space. Gympie Council has committed to sending its polystyrene for processing as part of the newly signed Waste Memorandum of Understanding agreement between our two councils. The thermal compactor heats up polystyrene waste and compresses it into small, solid bricks, reducing the material’s size by 90 per cent. In its smaller size the product can be easily transported away for repurposing into new products such as picture frames and decking. Meanwhile, we are receiving great feedback about our new reverse vending machine. Our Waste Strategy comes before Council for ratification next week and we have over the past few years, increasingly waged a war on waste and these two machines are a good example of the opportunities we continue to look for to turn waste into a resource.

About fifteen people attended the first interactive workshop last week, with all participants being solutions-orientated and detailing a long list of ideas and initiatives.

Community Engagement Advisor Caroline Osborne said the positive vibe and genuine interest in the process is encouraging.

“There was a real willingness to be part of the solution and all participants were engaged, offered creative ideas and understand the importance of getting this right,” she said.

More workshops are scheduled over the next two weeks.

Representing a significant advance in cancer care for the Sunshine Coast community, GenesisCare has announced construction is scheduled to begin on its modern cancer care centre in Noosaville this month.

Aiming to offer access to high-quality cancer care services, including radiation therapy and allied healthcare services to the local Noosa community and surrounding region by early to mid-2024, the new centre will mark the establishment of the organisation’s third centre on the Sunshine Coast in 23 years. The GenesisCare team hosted a site visit with Noosa Council Mayor, Clare Stewart, plus representatives from developer Dexus, and construction company, Erilyan, in attendance.

The new GenesisCare centre will be situated at 90 Goodchap Street, Noosaville (based at Noosa Medical and Professional Centre) and will be the closest cancer care centre to Noosa Hospital, located just 500 metres away.

Once operating at full capacity, the new GenesisCare cancer care centre aims to generate more than 15 jobs for members of the local Sunshine Coast community.

With a site area of around 800m2, the $8 million centre development project by Dexus, in partnership with GenesisCare and constructed by Erilyan, will comprise a purpose- built radiation therapy bunker and new medical fit-out complimented by 10 allocated parking bays.

The increase in cancer care services accessible to the Sunshine Coast is particularly important considering the demographics of this rapidly expanding area. Given Noosa’s median age exceeds that of Queensland’s by a decade, the healthcare needs of this population have become increasingly pertinent.

In addition, the cancer incidence on the Sunshine Coast is above the Queensland average, with 100 more cases per 100,000 people.

GenesisCare Radiation Oncologists, Dr Debra Furniss and Dr Bradley Wong, have both run regular, in-person clinics for many years serving Noosa residents, and have long standing relationships with local specialists and GPs.

Dr Furniss joined the site visit, sharing that the new Noosa centre will help to enable local patients to receive a range of healthcare services close to home.

“We are looking forward to furthering our relationship with the local Noosa community. Our new centre will support and complement the range of existing pathology, radiology, pharmacy, and allied health services offered at Noosa Hospital.

“Our aim is to offer personalised cancer care services delivered by a multidisciplinary team of compassionate healthcare professionals, utilising advanced treatment techniques and precision medicine, and designed to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes,” Dr Furniss said.

According to Steve Nguyen, General Manager, Queensland at GenesisCare, the new Noosa centre will bolster the organisation’s ongoing commitment and dedication to delivering modern cancer care services to the Queensland community.

“Receiving a cancer diagnosis and treatment can be a stressful and challenging time for patients and their families. Knowing that dedicated and experienced cancer care is available close to home will hopefully be a big relief to both patients and their loved ones.

“With a capacity of more than 500 patients per year, the centre will offer access to evidence-based cancer care services, including radiation therapy and allied health support,” Mr Nguyen said. “We are proud to be continuing to grow our services on the Sunshine Coast. We opened our Nambour centre in 2001 and Buderim in 2019, and are now aiming to open Noosa in 2024.” GenesisCare’s Vice President Site Development, Charles Wheeler shared, “This exciting development in Noosa would not be possible without the continued partnerships of both Dexus and Erilyan, enabling us to move into this market, with the aim of helping to provide locals and team members with a muchneeded service in a relatively short space of time.

LOCAL HEROES

Our community champions

By Abbey Cannan Three outstanding volunteers have been honoured by the Bendigo Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa, Cooroy and Marcoola Community Hero Awards with a generous donation of $5000 towards the charity of their choice.

Jeanette Reichman from Uniform4Kids, Paul Jenkinson from Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club and RSL Sub Branch, and Mark Cameron from Coolum Business and Tourism, all embody the spirit of a community hero.

The chosen heroes were revealed during the Bendigo Community Bank 21st Birthday Celebrations, and spoke to Noosa Today before a lunch celebration at Gusto’s Restaurant on Thursday 5 October.

It was double the fun for Tewantin winner Paul Jenkinson, who was joined by his partner in crime (of volunteering time) Robyn, on his birthday.

As the Chief Training Officer at Noosa Surf Life Saving, Paul has made exceptional contributions to beach safety and community wellbeing.

With unwavering passion and dedication, he trains new volunteer surf lifeguards, imparting vital skills that keep our beaches safer.

His commitment stems from his time in the army during the Vietnam War, where he honed his instructional abilities teaching in mechanics.

Paul’s impact on the community is immeasurable. Through his training, countless lives have been saved, demonstrating his profound commitment to public safety.

His military background has enriched his teaching approach, instilling discipline and effectiveness. Additionally, his volunteer work at the RSL sub branch showcases his enduring dedication to community service, extending his positive influence beyond beachfronts.

“It’s very humbling. I was so surprised and gobsmacked because I had no idea that people

Mark Cameron, Paul Jenkinson and Jeanette Reichman accepting their awards. had put me in for the award,“ Paul said.

“I enjoy volunteering, whether it be at the surf club or sub branch, just giving back to the community.“ Some of his proudest moments volunteering include a tribute to the landing at Gallipoli performed on Noosa Main Beach on the morning of 25 April 2015.

“It was the biggest gathering of people in Noosa, judged by policemen, with 12,000 to 15,000 attendees. People really supported it,“ he said.

“As for Surf Life Saving, Robyn and I were involved in the first ever successful resuscitation in Queensland of somebody who had drowned using the 30 to 2 CPR ratio. We got a premier citation for that from the premier at the time, Beattie. We get to teach that now through courses that we are very passionate

about. Giving your time, you get more back.”

Cooroy winner and retired nurse Jeanette Reichman was joined by pioneer and founder of Uniforms4Kids (U4K), Yvonne Pattinson OAM. “Yvonne was so welcoming when I moved here. I absolutely love it, it’s so rewarding,“ she said.

Jeanette laughs and sings and makes everyone around her happy, despite suffering from severe back problems.

She oversees, unpicks, irons, cuts out, sews on buttons and embellishments and is also a quality controller, spending approximately 11 hours every week with their groups, and also works at home making bookmarks.

She sorts and stores all their sewing equipment and knows exactly where every coloured

button, ribbon, and lace is located.

U4K In Cooroy makes over 100 items of clothing for children in need every week. Currently they have almost reached the 30,000 mark.

People like Jeanette make this a better world for the children they sew for and everyone around her.

“I’m most proud when walking out the door and seeing these beautiful things we’ve made, and seeing the photos of the children wearing the clothes,“ Jeanette said.

“My children are very proud of me doing it. It’s absolutely worth your time, don’t sit at home and be lonely. Come join us.“ The Marcoola hero, Mark Cameron, has dedicated an immense amount of time as a volunteer, tirelessly advocating for the growth of both the Coolum business and tourism sectors.

Widely recognised in Coolum for his profound connections with local businesses and his unwavering support, he has played a pivotal role in steering Coolum Business and Tourism towards a more sustainable and prosperous future.

“I was surprised because I guess we don’t do these things for the awards, we do it for the personal rewards. It was nonetheless nice to be recognised,“ Mark said.

“I got involved for my mental health. I was not occupied enough, so I got involved in an attempt to find things that were bigger than myself to be involved in. I’m now five years into leading the chamber and still enjoying it.“ In this financial year, the three branches have made an extraordinary contribution of $1.7 million to our local community. It’s nothing short of astonishing to see how banking can have such a significant impact, with up to 80 per cent of profits being reinvested right here in our community. This remarkable commitment truly reflects the bank’s dedication to the well-being of our community.

Top award for Social Deck A Noosa-based company that assists underrepresented groups achieve positive social and environmental outcomes has taken out the Minister’s Buy Queensland Award at a ceremony in Brisbane.

The Social Deck, took out one of the first prize awards for its support of diversity and inclusivity in its engagement activities, workforce, and supply chains.

The Buy Queensland Supplier Awards, held to celebrate the success of the Buy Queensland approach to procurement, recognises suppliers who contribute to a stronger and better Queensland.

Introduced in 2017, the Buy Queensland approach has invested more than $100 billion with almost 95,000 Queensland registered businesses, including about $12 billion that has flowed through to regional companies.

Awards were presented in three categories that reflect the values embedded in the Buy Queensland first approach to doing business Putting Queenslanders first, Diversity through supply chains, and Delivering for Queensland.

As an additional award, the Minister’s Buy Queensland Award, is presented to a company that encompasses the values of all three categories.

As a shining example of a successful small Queensland business, The Social Deck helps under-represented groups by working with organisations on policies to support people from a diverse range of backgrounds, including Queenslanders from lower socio-economic backgrounds, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and people with disability.

Supporting diverse and inclusive employment practices, its team includes First Nations representatives and people from culturally and linguistically diverse and neurodivergent communities.

The Social Deck director Steven Speldewinde said, “Buy Queensland has been a great success story for us.”

“It has enabled us to take those next steps in growing the business, and each new contract with the Queensland Government has opened more doors.

“It’s allowed us to bring on board more employees, and we’ve been able to do that due to more contracts through the Queensland Government, which has been fantastic.

“We’ve been able to work with local suppliers to deliver additional services, and over the course of time, we’ve been able to grow our

company and employees, and it’s been great for us to be able to invest in the local community.

“We weren’t expecting to get the Ministers award, so we really appreciate that and it’s really exciting.

“It’s great to see all these Queensland businesses come together, and to see the innovation that’s coming out of Queensland.”

The Social Deck has had its head office in Noosa since 2015. Since then, they’ve grown from three to 20 employees, with 12 based in Noosa.

Minister Mick de Brenni said, “The Palaszczuk Government will always back local

Queensland businesses, and quality, secure and ongoing jobs – it’s a choice that only Labor will make.“ “That’s why we have invested more than $100 billion in our Buy Queensland procurement approach, and have awarded more than 85 per cent of tenders Queensland Government to those businesses with a Queensland presence.

“Today’s awards celebrate those Queensland businesses who contribute to Queensland, and encourage diversity, inclusivity and a strong connection to community.

“Congratulations to all winners and all those who were nominated today.”

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK

In it to win it:

Matildas young gun Cortnee Vine clears goalkeeper Casey Dumont.

SOCCER: A-LEAGUE WOMEN 10 Bold, Saturday, 6pm

The thrill of the Matildas’ historymaking World Cup campaign has won a legion of new fans to football and made breakout stars out of much of the team, including Cortnee Vine, who is arguably now a nationally recognisable face after her sensational matchwinning penalty goal against France. In a promising move for women’s soccer in Australia, Vine has eschewed playing overseas in favour of resigning with Sydney FC and the A-League. Tonight, the highly anticipated season opener kicks off with Sydney FC taking on the Western Sydney Wanderers.

From Allianz Stadium, which hosted goosebump-making World Cup matches, expect a hyped crowd for this exciting season.

THE NEWSREADER ABC TV, Sunday, 8.30pm

It’s Australia Day 1988 and not only are Prince Charles and Princess Diana in the country, but there’s a re-enactment of the First Fleet sailing into Sydney Harbour. In tonight’s electric season two finale, there’s not only an abundance of ceremony and pomp for newsreaders Dale (Sam Reid) and Helen (Anna Torv, pictured) to digest, but also their complicated personal feelings. This exceptional homegrown series may be wrapping up, but viewers can rest assured a third season has already been given the green light: it’s no surprise given the finesse and quality of this ’80s-set delight. As Helen contemplates a lucrative overseas contract, the promise of more to come makes it even more gratifying.

GEORGE CLARKE’S AMAZING SPACES ABC TV Plus, Monday, 9.20pm

British architect George Clarke possesses a boyish, earnest charm that infuses his long-running series with an easygoing flair. As he returns tonight with an 11th season, this convivial antithesis to Grand Designs celebrates innovative thinking on a small scale: not everyone has the means to commission an architect to build a sprawling mansion, but anyone can be inspired to renovate a train carriage or a boat and have some fun with it. Tonight, Clarke embarks on an emotional journey when he sends the caravan he renovated on the series 10 years ago to the scrap heap to make way for a new project in the form of a caravan set to be reborn in stunning artsand-crafts style. Clarke also takes an inspiring trip to Israel.

SHARK TANK 10, Tuesday, 7.30pm

If everyone could dream up a unique product that had the power to make them an instant millionaire, we’d all do it, wouldn’t we? But, as this cut-throat show about innovative ideas drives home, coming up with that winning concept is no simple feat. Sometimes, not even the astute panel of Sharks recognise one when it’s pitched to them – take the infamous video doorbell in the US that was rejected, but went on to become a billiondollar product. Tonight, in the season finale, a new style of earphone is pitched, along with a sentimental camera. For the youngest Shark on the panel, 28-year-old millionaire Oodie inventor Davie Fogarty (pictured), flashy doesn’t always equal cash. Will he spot a winner?

FOCUS ON SENIORS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Celebrating our seniors Queensland is enjoying its third annual Queensland Seniors Month.

From humble beginnings when it began as Old People’s Week in October of 1960, the statewide celebration has outgrown its nine-day week and become a month-long event.

Beginning on Sunday 1 October, the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, Queensland’s Seniors Month will include National Grandparents Day on Sunday 29 October.

COTA (Council on the Ageing) Queensland coordinates Seniors Month on behalf of the Queensland Government and receives funding to collaboratively plan and subsidise events and activities.

Reinforced by its theme, Social Connections, Queensland Seniors Month aims to provide opportunities for people across all generations to connect and challenge our own stereotypical views of ageing and the aged. It also provides opportunities for people to discover local programs, services and volunteering opportunities, which may assist in reducing social isolation.

COTA Queensland chair Jean McRuvie said as we age, our social connections become increasingly important. To enable this, we need communities that foster and support these connections through spaces, places, and activities.

“For some older Queenslanders, social isolation can lead to depression and other health problems. However, maintaining strong social connections can have a profound impact on our health and wellbeing,“ she said.

“These connections can come from a variety of sources including friends, family, community groups, and by taking part in Seniors Month events and activities. Through these connections people may find emotional sup-

Making connections is the theme this Seniors Month. port, a sense of belonging, reason to stay active and engaged, or a sense of purpose and meaning.”

According to the 2021 Census there are about 15,600 people aged 65 and over living

in Noosa out of its population of about 56,870.

Both COTA Queensland and the State Government value the contributions older people have made and continue to make in their communities whether as volunteers or

in the workforce, community leaders or carers, grandparents, or advocates, Ms McRuvie said.

What you need to know Associate Professor Kris Rallah-Baker from Sunshine Coast Ophthalmologists tells us everything we need to know about cataracts.

WHAT ARE THEY? A cataract is when the lens in your eye starts to get cloudy and affect your vision.

Eventually you will require cataract surgery which involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a permanently implanted plastic. lens which is called an intraocular lens or IOL for short.

WHO DO THEY AFFECT? Cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures in the world.

Everyone will develop a cataract at some point in their life.

Initially you may have a changing prescription in your glasses, but eventually new glasses won’t improve your vision any further.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? Glare sensitivity.

Faded colours.

Double or fractured vision through one eye.

Haloes or star-bursts around lights, especially at night.

Problems with night vision and driving.

The feeling there is a film over your eyes or glasses and the need to constantly wipe your glasses.

A decline in vision.

WHERE TO FROM HERE? If you notice any of the above symptoms, it is recommended to see your Optometrist or GP for assessment and referral.

You will then have a comprehensive consultation with an Ophthalmologist where you will require a number of diagnostic scans.

If you are a surgical candidate, your surgeon will then discuss with you the many different lens options that best suit you and your lifestyle.

When you are well informed and ready you can proceed to booking your surgery.

Enjoy your new vision!

Price of progress I just put my name on a petition to save first point Noosa. I started surfing longboards at Noosa 62 years ago. The truth is Noosa’s beloved point is beyond saving due to man made alterations, like moving the river mouth and building rock walls. The more people that come here the more sand on the beach Noosa points will change constantly as we get cyclonic conditions. The dilemma we have with progress.

Going forward united With only a week to go before the answer to the YES or NO is answered, I have a question for you.

Without the “Invasion” would we have ever known: Neville Bonner, Opera singers Harold Blair and Deborah Cheetham, Jockey Darby McCarthy, Car Racing Braedyn Cedoni, Arthur Beetson, Greg Ingliss, Adam Goodes, Douglas Nicholls, Cathy Freeman, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Anthony Mundine, Lionel Rose, Jessica Mauboy, Casey Donovan, Dan Sultan.

The list is endless in all fields of achievement.

The two World Wars would have still occurred. Would Aboriginals in the First World War have been fighting side by side with their invaders. They did but without a choice and differences were pushed aside for King And Country.

Australia was sitting here waiting for some foreign country to access its wealth.

Its people were saved from certain obliteration in World War 2, with Aboriginals and descendants of the earlier invaders fighting side by side in Papua New Guinea.

Whatever the answer on October 14, 2023 we can only hope and pray that the Yahs and Naysayers join together and work on forming a unified country and nation.

Australia has given so much to its inhabitants as far back as we can ascertain and by sitting down as one, and working together, it’s time to give back.

So much truth in the saying two in a boat rowing different ways into ever decreasing circles never gets you anywhere.

So that everyone is happy with the result, make 14 October every year a holiday, then it would have achieved something.

Ernest Wright, Tewantin

Covid backlash I note many media commentators lamenting the heated and aggressive debate over the voice referendum. To me it’s no surprise, as we have just had three years of the same governments actively encouraging discrimination and anti social behaviour towards another minority, those who chose to remain unvaccinated during Covid. After years of encouraging such unethical discriminatory behaviour through mandates, job losses, and social ridicule and exclusions, you can’t simply turn off the discrimination “tap” at will. People have become acclimatised to abusing their fellow citizens and being actively enabled to do so.

In this context, the pleas to listen respectfully to all sides that were missing during the Covid years now sound hollow and have sadly fallen

Laguna lookout has had some clearing done and the panoramic views are back – even an overcast day at dusk is spectacular, says Ian Glew who captured this image recently. If you have a Lenscape please email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au on deaf ears. Furthermore the 30 per cent of the population who were corrosively controlled into taking an experimental vaccine despite their reservations, now find themselves with their power reinstated in the form of a compulsory but free vote. It’s only natural that many of those so coerced will vote no, despite otherwise leaning to the yes. It’s a backlash against coercive control, and the hypocrisy of discriminating against one block of citizens for three years while expanding the rights for other minority citizens. The government has grossly underestimated the community backlash from its use of coercive control, and the voice referendum will likely be the first casualty.

Ralph Hahnheuser, Noosa Heads

Noosa’s future Council is to be congratulated for its submission to the state government’s draft ShapingSEQ 2023 Update (NT 6 October). Among the reasons: loss of Noosa’s iconic values, unrealistic population increases and a lack of recognition of council’s housing strategies. The submission noted: “For places like Noosa, this demand is insatiable and will only lead to perverse outcomes for local communities and put

unplanned pressure on local infrastructure and environmental values.” And, “Even more concerning is the expectation that the 2026 population will be 11,120 persons higher than the 2021 figure.“ These are great ideals, but they conflict with council’s role in funding Tourism Noosa’s marketing quest for yet more visitors. Currently we are hosting 1.1 million domestic overnight and 1.1 million day-trip visitors annually. This equates to an average 5,479 visitors daily or 65,753 per month.

I find it ironic that we’re complaining about having to take an extra 11,000 residents when the tourism industry is busy marketing to attract 2 million visitors a year. What’s more, these visitors cost ratepayers heaps in extra infrastructure, waste removal and congestion alleviation like bus subsidies. Arguably, this out-of-control visitation is also the root cause of our housing problems because short-term accommodation is consuming our housing stock. It’s also diminishing our quality of life here. Fortunately, the DMP discussion process is tackling these issues right now.

Let’s be honest and look at the whole picture about human impact on the shire. The seasonal nature of tourism, and its susceptibility to world events, means we need to focus

our economy in the diverse areas that carried us through the Covid era, such as healthcare, construction, retail, education and professional services. We’re certainly more than a one-trick pony.

Rod Ritchie, Cooroy

In correction, the ’Dwelling Diversity targets’ proposed for Noosa Shire in the Draft ShapingSEQ 2023 Update are: Fewer new detached houses More new attached 1-3 storey low rise (semi-detached, row or terrace houses, townhouse, apartments) More new 4-8 story medium rise apartments.

NEWS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

The internet rabbit hole Opinion by Phil Jarratt As the Voice referendum campaign winds up I’ve been trying to put a finger on which part of the No side’s farrago of misinformation, transmitted mostly on social media, has resonated with some people to such a degree that they have foregone research and reason in making an informed voting decision.

Following the long threads down the rabbit holes of fear-driven fantasy about three per cent of the population being authorised to determine flight paths and the purchase of nuclear weaponry, creating a “black veto”, not to mention taking back our houses by force, I was reminded of a transcript I’d made of a talk given a few months back at Noosa’s Floating Land festival by author Van Badham, a fearless feminist who had spent more than a year undercover investigating the dark underbelly of the internet while researching her book, QAnon and On: A Short and Shocking History of Internet Conspiracy Cults.

What Badham uncovered about the world of nutty neurotics involved with the US-based fear factory QAnon, and its frightening tentacles reaching into Australia, of course goes way beyond anything we have seen on social media during the Voice’s No campaign – a foundational plank of QAnon, for example, is the idea that American celebrities of liberal persuasion, like Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks, are actually “reptoid” lizard-people who practice witchcraft and gain superpowers by drinking the blood of children at gatherings in underground pizza restaurants – but in reviewing my transcript and an excerpt from Badham’s book, I was struck by similarities in the social media recruitment methodology, where one disgruntled believer takes a shaky premise to even more outrageous unlikelihood in order to attract the attention of another outlier. And so it goes.

By no means all, or even the majority of the No supporter posts I saw on social media went far beyond the dodgy “10 Reasons To Say No” assertions distributed by the Nationals, but a significant minority were clearly building a false case within the comfort zone of an online cohort of fellow believers, which is the process of cult creation outlined by Badham, one that with alarming frequency can leap out of the internet and into the real world, which is what it did in Washington DC with the siege of the Capitol on 6 January 2021.

In her Floating Land address back in July, Badham spoke about her first encounters of internet hate-speak spilling over into her real life: “I did an episode of Q and A in 2016 and over 1000 people called me fat [on social media] in one hour. I had people stalk me and others set up a telescope to peer into my apartment, and finally I was bashed on Bourke St, Melbourne at 9.30 in the morning. A package of photos of gang rapes and genital mutilation was dumped at my door. I ended up in court six times to try to stop this from happening. I couldn’t understand how writing against the work-for-the-dole policy had brought this down on my head … but compared to some other advocates in Australia, I got off lightly. It’s been a very distressing time for a lot of normal, progressive people … It’s happening to Thomas Mayo from the Yes campaign right now.”

Badham’s subsequent research into cult craziness on the internet led her into investigating the spread of QAnon around the world, particularly since the start of the Trump presidency. She said: “The tipping point for me was when an old friend who had once been in a cult was having marital problems and she and her husband had gotten into yoga to see if that helped. The yoga teacher had flipped out and became a QAnon person, and when my friend explained that this was not a real thing, she was shunned by the yoga community, to the extent where if she walked into a cafe, anyone from yoga would walk straight out. She was heartbroken. I thought I had to write a book about it. When I talked to other friends who were practitioners of things like herbal medicine or in the general area of wellness, they told me it was everywhere.”

In 2020 events in America compelled her to write a newspaper article about QAnon. She recalled: “Early on in the pandemic a guy was exposed in the US as running one of the QAnon websites where you had to pay to link in and have your say, and it turned out he was a vice-president at Citibank and he had an interest in data-mining. It was the perfect scam be36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 October, 2023

cause if you could convince people that Hillary Clinton eats children, you can convince them of anything. This guy had made millions out of this. I wrote a piece about it for The Guardian and [the response] literally exploded with thousands of messages from people saying their father, brother, friend, husband, whatever, had been sharing these crazy stories and believed them.”

But what state of mind would you have to be in to become a believer?

Badham: “The pandemic was a time when people either coped or they didn’t, particularly in Victoria. For a segment of the population it was terrifying because they felt a lack of control, and the way they responded was to go on the internet chat rooms and be told that the lizard people were behind it, or that Big Pharma had put the virus into homes via sprinkler systems. Totally mad stuff. It’s called the paranoid schizoid position and it can happen to anyone in certain situations, which is why it’s really frightening. If you’re under pressure

and you’re being overloaded with information, the brain can split, as they call it. If there’s too much nuance to deal with, it goes into black and white – bad people who eat children and good, brave people who go on the internet and talk about it. Part of that process is to blame minorities. We know how the profile of a bigot works. If something goes wrong in a bigot’s life and they don’t have the power or the money or the agency to fix it, they’ll blame it on some secret community that has more power than they do.”

(Badham writes in her book that in 2020 a large group of QAnon believers drove illegally from Queensland to protest the Covid lockdown of Melbourne’s public housing high-rise towers, filming themselves and expounding their theories as they went. At that time, after the US, Britain and Canada, Australia was the fourth largest producer of QAnon internet content worldwide.)

Radical conspiracy theorists are often thought to be from the economic underclass

Pictures: SUPPLIED with little opportunity for education, but Badham’s research revealed a different profile.

She said: “In Australia I joined several groups undercover and the people I found were very much of the frustrated entrepreneur class, often successful small business owners who weren’t able to adapt in the pandemic and started blaming other groups – like women or Jews – for that.

“The big question now is can people be pulled back from these positions? And the good news is that yes, they can. There are a lot of internet cult survivors who travel and share their experiences and how they got out of their situation. The key to bringing people back is socialisation, letting people know you are there for them, but not to judge them.”

On The Soapbox Councillor Amelia Lorentson

Questions need answer At Council’s General Meeting, September 18, I moved a motion to move the River Plan to the next round of meetings to allow Councillors, stakeholders and the community more time to consider the details in the Plan, including the legal and unintended implications of a Conservation Park, and to provide feedback.

This is what I said at the meeting: “Public Policy must be transparent, consultative and allow all the players to have a say”.

In my opinion this had not happened, and for that reason, I refused to endorse the Plan.

There were too many unanswered questions: Was the Plan endorsed by the ex-Noosa River Advisory Committee (NSRAC) who represented 14 river stakeholder groups including recreational and commercial fishing groups?

Who were the select few that were consulted?

Has the plan got community support? Does the community want a legislated Conservation Park, and what does that actually mean? What are the implications to pro fishermen, the recreational users and those users caught outside conservation groups?

What does this mean for businesses who rely on the boating industry and visitor economy?

What is the list of issues or priorities that show there are problems? Where’s the empirical data?

Has the State failed? What is wrong with the State Fisheries Strategy and Management?

Does this Plan intend to circumvent it? What do the recreational and commercial fishermen have to say?

Has a conservation Park been discussed with Councillors, community or stakeholders?

Noosa River plan returns to Council this month.

Claims? How does Council intend to manage this?

Why are we trying to control the river?

Didn’t the community tell the last Council in 2019 that they wanted Council to stay out? Are we saying that State agencies are unable to do their job?

There are so many issues and the implications intended and unintended need to be unpacked. The devil is in the detail.

More importantly, we must be certain that all river users maintain equitable access to the River. Unless this is done, we cannot en-

Noosa councillor Amelia Lorentson dorse the Plan.

To endorse the Plan without proper consultation would compromise public trust.

A Noosa River Plan is supported, but one that has community and stakeholder support.

Leadership to me, is not a licence to do less.

Leadership is a responsibility to do more.

The motion to defer the Plan for consultation was supported at Ordinary Meeting, 4:3 For: Lorentson, Stewart, Finzel and Juresivic. Against: Wilkie, Stockwell and Wegner.

The Full debate is livestreamed on Councils Website: (1:24:08) https://noosa.civicclerk.com.au/web/ Player.aspx?id=178&key=-1&mod=-1&mk=1&nov=0 The report will be coming back to Council for a decision on Thursday 26 October at 5pm.

Thank you to those who have emailed staff and councillors with your feedback. It matters.

(Please note this is my personal opinion and does not represent the position of Council.)

Chamber fears DMP impact on shire’s sustainability Noosa Chamber of Commerce warns that scenarios in the Noosa Council Destination Manage ment Plan could threaten Noosa Shire’s sustainability as a stand-alone local government.

“Severely limiting tourist visitation and Council interfering in the free market could have grave impacts on Noosa’s small businesses,” said chamber president Ralph Rogers. “In the current context of global uncertainty, Noosa’s businesses are already vulnerable.”

Among possible future actions offered in Council’s Destination Management discussion paper are: “Council’s leadership includes using specific tourism policies and values to set goals and boundaries to manage and direct industry development and set the agenda” “Develop a carrying capacity model to determine best use of tourism infrastructure, experiences and services” and “Focus only on marketing tourism businesses that align with shared community values”.

“These are too restrictive given the diverse nature of Noosa’s tourism businesses and ever changing consumer needs, and does not reflect the inclusive Small Business Friendly Charter adopted by Noosa Council in April,” Mr Rogers said.

Noosa Chamber’s submission to Council draws attention to global uncertainty, the growing South East Queensland population, and Noosa Council’s commitments on behalf of the people of Noosa Shire (the UNESCO definition of a Biosphere Reserve and Queensland Small Business Friendly Charter), all of which require the Destination Management Plan to protect Noosa Shire’s economic sustainability.

Noosa Chamber recommends the addi-

Chamber of Commerce president Ralph Rogers. tion of a ‘Balanced Community Adaptation Scenario’ which includes sustainable growth of Noosa’s economy in tandem with any ultimately selected actions from the discussion paper.

“The State Government and Noosa Council are already planning coastal hazard adaptation based on 2040, 2070 and 2100 forecast sea level rises and storm surges,” Noosa chamber secretary Ingrid Jackson said. “It makes sense to also plan for other global impacts on our residents and their small businesses, such as more frequent and extreme weather events and more frequent global pandemics which may lead to global civil unrest and to increased migration to safe havens from war torn or inundated island countries and, domestically, from floodprone and bushfire-prone localities.”

In April 2023 Noosa Council approved joining the State Government’s Small Business Friendly Councils Program by signing the Small Business Friendly Charter. The concurrent staff report to Council explained that “Noosa Shire is home to just over 7,000 GST registered businesses of which 58 per

cent; are non-employing, 31 per cent; have 1-4 employees and 9.2 per cent; have between 5-19 employees.”

“The Destination Management Plan needs to honour Council’s commitment to the Small Business Friendly Charter which includes “actively engaging and being mindful of small businesses, their issues and priorities when making decisions”, “publicly recognising and valuing the importance of small businesses to our community and local economy” and “encouraging and promoting small business engagement via marketing and communication channels”, Mr Rogers said.

“Council’s discussion paper has failed to reflect these commitments.”

Ms Jackson pointed out, “In 2007 UNESCO recognised Noosa Shire as a Biosphere Reserve. A key UNESCO strategic objective is “Contribute to building sustainable, healthy and equitable societies, economies and thriving human settlements in harmony with the biosphere.”

The Destination Management Plan should honour UNESCO’s intended balanced approach to community, economy and environment, ensuring planned policies and actions contribute to a sustainable economy as well as social and environmental considerations.”

The Chamber president said, “Data collated by Economy ID shows that Noosa’s gross regional product (GRP) has seen no significant growth over the past 10 years and hence is not keeping pace with inflation and the cost of living in real terms. For the sake of residents, it is imperative that the Destination Management Plan ensure no economic shocks to local small businesses most of which are owned by Noosa residents.”

In relation to the opportunities and issues raised in the Discussion Paper such as traffic

management and accommodation, Noosa Chamber’s submission proposes additional actions in line with its proposed ‘Balanced Community Adaption Scenario’ to prepare for global and local impacts, such as: Improve the road network to facilitate safe and efficient movement along main thoroughfares with linkages to park and ride sites and public transport to popular destinations.

Facilitate construction of barely visible multilevel parking stations along transport corridors instead of sprawling tarmac car parks detrimental to the environment and visual amenity.

Encourage and support development of five star tourist accommodation in line with the ‘value over volume’ policy.

Exempt tourist resort unit owners from the Short Stay Letting and Home Hosted Accommodation Local Law to incentivise owners to not permanently let resort units.

Support development of affordable housing for workers, taking innovative action as has Moreton Bay Council which is releasing public land to community housing providers immediately.

Amend the Noosa Plan to allow relevant worker accommodation in industrial zones.

“Noosa Chamber does not support the discussion paper’s ‘Do Nothing Scenario’,” said Ralph Rogers. “Nor does it support any of the proposed future actions that would be detrimental to Noosa’s small businesses and the Noosa economy. That could endanger our residents’ financial security and Noosa Shire’s sustainability as a standalone local government area.”

Full house for open house

By Erle Levey What we build tells the story of us. But what we value, and fight to save, determines who we are.

He may be best known for his work on TV and radio, but comedian Tim Ross has also always had a passion for architecture and design.

On Friday he played to a full house at Noosa as part of the Sunshine Coast Open House program.

The program, held in more than 50 cities around the world, is to inspire and highlight the value of good design.

At the Art Room by Bark Design Architects in the Noosa hinterland, the presenter of the ABC-TV documentary series Streets of Your Town discussed why architecture matters.

Designing A Legacy took a whimsical, nostalgic, humorous and emotional look at Australian families whose lives have been shaped within the walls of modern masterpieces and posed the question: “What will happen to these legacy homes?’’

It also asked questions about the sense of community within Australian neighbourhoods in the present day - whether homes are being designed to be more inward-looking in their design instead of being open to the streetscape.

Tim grew up in the bayside suburbs of Melbourne and that has been the basis of his interest in architecture ... almost a naive inquisitiveness that has seen people share their stories. Not just about the houses but about the people, about their life stories and how they have either been shaped by the homes or they have shaped the buildings.

He said Queensland still retained that sense of friendliness Australia was known for ... an openness that was also prevalent in New Zealand.

It was important to reconnect with the Australian landscape. Even if you put concrete over country, the stories remain.

Enjoy the intimate discussions such as this - share the stories of people and their houses.

“What we’re talking about is stories ... not just of the buildings but of the people in them and the people who have gone before them.’’

While filming at artist Arthur Boyd‘s property Bundanon, on the New South Wales south coast, Tim found footage of the artist speaking about his connection to landscape.

It was one thing to love the bush, Boyd said, but it was another thing to understand it.

And that required knowing the full story, not just the past 200 years.

Today, housing affordability is a complex issue, Tim said. There is a lot of land-banking going on which means it has become a matter of money.

He pointed to communal or cooperative living as possible answers, such as the Michael Dysart-designed housing in Canberra in the 1970s.

Money was put straight into the community, not developers. Houses were established with a parkland and walkway as the internal spine and all the cars on the perimeter.

The Nightingale village in Melbourne is a not-for-profit organisation with studio apartments set up to share such facilities as rooftop gardens, laundries, bike storage, roof-top solar 38 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 13 October, 2023

He paid tribute to Jack Mundey and the building unions in supporting resident action groups who were trying to save public housing and parkland in Sydney’s inner suburbs .

Tim left a note when Mundey died, a tribute to the legacy he had left.

It was a “thank you’’ for the way in which he cared about the community and cared about the city.

That was the key to Tim’s message. To leave a legacy, one that will last, and one that you will be proud proud to say: “I have walked this way.’’

A PERSONAL INTERPRETATION: Melissa Innes Architecture. It’s not a consideration that those outside of design, construction, or planning disciplines often consider. That is, until a remarkable piece of work is brought to life and catches our attention on so many different levels, and always from many different perspectives.

Perhaps this niche-like nature of architecture is the reason such an intimate and unique setting was possible for a presentation by Tim Ross as part of Sunshine Coast Open House event.

Tim’s reflections caught me by surprise. I think I had expected to hear about the challenges of architectural design in an increasingly populous society. What I was confronted with was a delightful collection of Tim’s childhood memories, along with poignant architectural experiences he has encountered over his

Sam O’Rielley, Anne-Margaret Mannion, Lisa Mackintosh. 365678

more recent inquisitive architectural career.

His presentation was a stark reminder for me, of yet another aspect in our lives that has changed so dramatically as a result of the rapidly progressive society we find ourselves living and working in.

Tim talked of the changing design of homes in response to increasing populations and budget-conscious consumers - he mentioned the term cookie-cutter homes.

This term struck a nerve with me as I considered my own home, and how, in my own determination as a young first-home buyer to live out the Australian dream of owning a home, I willingly invested in one of these cookie-cutter models.

But alongside this harsh reality, I was dramatically inspired by the architectural prowess and attractive design qualities of the Art Room home that Bark Design Architects had created, and in which Tim delivered his presentation.

It encouraged me to reflect on the joy that simple design decisions can bring to one’s living environment, both for self, and for others.

The setting for Tim‘s presentation enabled attendees to dream that they too could influence and embrace simple and cost-effective design elements that can change our living environment for the better.

This is something that resonated with me in Tim’s reflections. Although he has a distinct talent when it comes to delivering important messages with an element of humour, I came away knowing that actually - Tim’s own jour-

ney has inspired a deep reflective movement in his life - which he now thankfully, and willingly, shares with others. His messages were simple and founded in many of the basic human elements of life on Earth.

Messages about embracing important opportunities of connection - whether it be the design of an ’80s back yard incorporating fond memories of early swimming pool days; or cherishing the touch of a loved one’s hand whilst the opportunity remains.

Tim’s speech highlighted the missed opportunities we can have in this life, if we are in too much of a hurry or too self-focused to consider the importance of sustainability, creativity, and connection in what we do.

OPEN HOUSE IN NOOSA Hosted by the Sunshine Coast chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects, the Open House program will see a selection of houses and buildings open on the weekend of October 21-22.

However, there will also be a number of events in the lead-up: A Cooroy Precinct Tour with architect Shaun Walsh on Saturday, 21 October; and Urban Sketching with Peter Richards at Cooran on Sunday, 22 October.

Events are ticketed or may require booking.

Festival delights crowds There were 80 acts, including some of Australia’s finest performers, but some local teens showed they could mix it with the best at the Caloundra Music Festival over three days from Friday 29 September.

Punk rock band Wave Raiders - Jayden Georg (Bass) and Thomas De Waard (Drums), both 11, and Peter De Waard (Lead Guitar), 13, all hail from the Sunshine Coast.

They enjoyed a starry moment when invited to take the stage with perennial favourites Spiderbait.

The connection for the teens could really pay off with Spiderbait mentioning they would be keen for the Wave Raiders to support them on any upcoming tours when they are up this way.

Sunshine Coast Division 2 Councillor Terry Landsberg said the combination of a compelling line-up of talent, incredible spring weather and a unique, family-friendly coastal vibe drew 16,000 fans to Kings Beach over the three days.

Queensland’s favourite music festival, which has been going for 16 years, offered six stages exploding with sounds from an assortment of music maestros.

The melting pot of talent from around the world was demonstrated in the Kings Club Piano Bar where venerable organ salesman Barry Morgan interviewed international artists like Arrested Development and jammed with everyone from New Orleans royalty Dumpstaphunk to crowd favourite Nicky Bomba mixed in with a host of local musicians.

The festival is considered an awesome springboard for young talent and as well as the Wave Raider showstopper, another youngster also rose to the challenge.

Henry Catania aged just 13 years old from Conondale, made his CMF debut on the Norton Music Factory stage after winning Caloundra’s Live & Local Singer/Songwriters competition held through September.

Cr Landsberg said the all-ages festival was an inspirational platform for kids today.

“The interaction between international and local artists and bringing kids up on stage was setting a great example for our kids and youth,” Cr Landsberg said.

“It was great for local venues to have the opportunity to ride the festival’s wave by putting on local musos at a number of cafes and res-

taurants in the lead up to the festival.

“Bigger venues like the Kings Beach Surf Club hosted a ‘Get the Party Started’ pre-festival and Kings Beach Tavern held ‘After Parties’ over the three nights.

“The festival and town just had a great vibe and was a really good way to close out the school holidays.”

Next year, the event will return 4-6 October,

outside of the school holidays. Punters will still be able to take advantage of a Sunshine Coast long weekend due to the King’s Birthday public holiday scheduled for 7 October, 2024.

The Caloundra Music Festival is an event initiative of Sunshine Coast Council and supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland and features on the It’s Live! in Queensland Events Calendar.

Gary Quirk’s photos are breathtaking, not only in their quality, but in the bird behaviour that he has clearly captured. How did Gary become interested in bird photography and what led him to produce such amazing photos? He explains, “My first memory of being fascinated by birds was when I was about seven years old. My older brother and I used to go ‘exploring’ through the bush around our suburb in south-east Melbourne. I remember being mesmerised by a Rufous Fantail displaying in front of us. I think it might have been a seminal moment.”

Gary always loved art and from his time working for one of Australia’s largest souvenir production companies where he was surrounded by postcards of Australian animals, he knew where his future lay. After graduating from Caulfield Institute of Technology he embarked on a career in art, design, photography and education. Gary enthuses, “I loved my work and on retirement I, along with my wife Debbie, decided to continue at least with my photography, with birds being our primary focus.” They bought a 4WD and off-road camper, upgraded camera and computer gear, and embarked on a mission to photograph as many Australian bird species as they could. Over the past five years they have travelled through many parts of Australia, learning about the country, its birds and their habitats whilst continuing to

Leith of JD Art combines her art mediums of ceramics, glass art and polymer clay jewellery at her studio.

Originally from Paris, ceramicist Julia Vail studied at the Bath Academy of Art in the UK. Her studio display focuses on her curved, tactile and asymmetrical vessels.

On the trail of Noosa art

By Margie Maccoll There was excitement at art studios across the shire last Friday as more than 100 artists opened their doors to the public for the first of 10 days of the Noosa Open Studios art trail.

Now in its eighth year, the popular art trail gives a unique opportunity to meet local artists at work in their personal creative spaces along five trails across the shire.

From painting, ceramics and jewellery to textiles, glass and metalwork – there is something to appeal to everyone.

Noosa Today went along to visit several artists displaying a diverse range of work.

An art teacher for 40 years Maria Brown but for the past five years since retiring is focusing on her own ceramics. Her unique vessels and objects of beauty are inspired by her beautiful environment - the beach, the wallum, the hinterland and the textures and patterns in nature.

Maria continues to teach via small workshops including totem making workshops at Cooroy’s Butter Factory Art centre and Peregian Beach veggie village.

Trevor Hood had a career as a graphic designer in publishing, took up teaching at TAFE and Charles Sturt University before moving to Noosa about nine years ago and immersing himself in his own landscape painting. In

his second Open Studios, Trevor said he enjoyed showing his art and talking to the people who visit. “They’re coming for lots of reasons, whether they want to be an artist themselves or just curious,“ he said.

Jayne Hodgson is a professional artist who now works from her studio built at their renovated Peregian Beach beach shack, where she creates a range of paintings, ceramics and textiles including scarves and cushions printed with images from her paintings.

Steve Scamp began painting six years ago after retiring from a career at the State Library.

The self-taught artist admits to having an eclectic style and says he likes to paint things he likes.

Noosa Open Studios president, Simone Leao, said Noosa Open Studios was a highlight on our artists’ calendars, and an opportunity for visitors and locals to meet our artists face to face – and perhaps even begin their own art collection journey.

“All our participants have a piece of work on display at the event ‘Hub’ at Wallace House Noosaville, where visitors are invited to pick up an art trail guide book and begin their art trail experience.”

Noosa Open Studios runs 6-15 October, with all studios open 10am-4pm on this final weekend of the event.

like-minded creatives,“ Curator and Noosa Regional Gallery Director Michael Brennan said.

“This exhibition was an opportunity to bring together artists who are known to have practices in their own right, but who have also teamed up with a creative partner.“ Setting out to interrogate and celebrate creative collaboration across the Region, Known Associates features Courtney Scheu and Itamar Freed; Eco Trio (Rosie LloydGiblett, Yanni Van Zijl and Helena Jackson Lloyd); Ketakii Jewson-Brown and Shaye Hardisty; Mia Hacker, Brian Warner and Kilagi Nielson; Studio 26 (Brady Cooke, Petalia Humphreys, Jaime Kiss, Jack Macrae, Alex

Walker and Prita Yeganeh); and Tamara Kirby and Corrie Wright.

Across six purpose-built spaces within the Gallery, the exhibition will see shared ideas intertwined.

While actively engaging the audience in some parts, Known Associates blends the vision of artists and audiences alike into unique evolutions of meaning and experience.

Known Associates will run from 14 October to 26 November 2023. Entry to the event is free. Visit: noosaregionalgallery.com.au Join us for the official opening event at the Gallery on Friday 13 October from 5.30 – 7.30pm. Free tickets are available via the website.

Group stitches up 40 years

By Jim Fagan Words like Casalguidi, gold work, stumpwork, Reticello, Deerfield and crewel fill the air when the embroidery women at Wallace House, Noosaville, have their fortnightly get together—just as they have since 1983.

They may sound like a foreign language but to the group which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, they make perfect sense.

“We started in Cooroy as The Noosa Hinterland Embroidery Group,” former president, Helga Hill, told Noosa Today.

“We put a notice in the local paper, inviting anyone interested in forming an Embroidery Group to meet at Beth Skeet’s house outside Cooroy. Ten women gathered to discuss the formation of this group, and it was arranged that we would meet at the Anglican Church Hall in Cooroy twice a month.

“Those who attended our first meeting at Beth Skeet’s home were, Beth, me, Helen Datson, Sandra Smith, Robyn Tutt, Dora Timms, Pam Marshall, Allison Cranich, Peg Brennan and Sabine van Baarskamp.

“We all became members of the Embroiderers Guild of Queensland and in 1992 we were invited to be a branch of the Guild.

“In 1993 Noosa Council invited arts and craft groups to come together and form the Noosa Arts and Craft Association at Wallace House and we decided to make it our home.”

She said the group was particularly proud of a work of embroidery art that is now permanently on show at Wallace House.

Known as “The Embroiderers Hanging,”

the work was done over many years. Members were asked to “work the squares” showing as many embroidery styles as possible, but with the subject all reflecting where they lived in Noosa Shire.

“The work started in the late 90’s and was pieced together in 2004. Unfortunately, it was damaged a few years later. The ‘Hanging’ was

Friday of each month at Wallace House, as we have for 40 years.

remade, however, and it gave our newer members also a chance to contribute to the new hanging that hangs in the house today.

“Many of the squares were done by members who are no longer with us. Today it is a reminder of the wonderful embroiderers who have belonged to our group.

“Today we still meet on the first and third

Mimic Octopus in limelight

By Abbey Cannan Tewantin based author and illustrator Sandra Severgnini’s latest book release shines a light on the elusive Mimic Octopus, following its recent discovery in Noosa.

Meet Him brings the world of the shallow ocean seabed to life. The illustrations give a realistic picture of the sea creatures in this environment and how perfectly the octopus impersonates and outwits them.

“I am fascinated with the magical natural world around me and it inspires my words and helps bring sensitivity and humour to my illustrations,“ Sandra said.

“I came across an article on the Mimic Octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) and it fascinated me. So much so that I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I asked around and no-one I spoke to had heard of them. I wanted to share that fascination with others, especially children.

“The mimic octopus was only discovered in 1998, first in the Indo-Pacific region off the coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia, but since then they have been sighted on the Great Barrier Reef, more than 2000 kilometres from where they were first described.

“As they successfully mimic so many other creatures, scientists still have a lot to learn about them. They may have been under our noses all along, so to discover one right here in Noosa is extremely exciting. Happy ending…

Sealife successfully released the Mimic Octopus back into the Noosa River.”

Rescued from seemingly dire circumstances, this resilient cephalopod received the high-

est level of care, including medical attention and specialised rehabilitation which saw it returned to full health.

After an extensive search to find the perfect release site, the mimic octopus was taken by boat and released into the water surrounding Makepeace Island.

Oliver Underwood, Curator at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast said, “this successful release represents more than just rehabilitating a single animal; it embodies our dedication to wildlife preservation and conservation.“ “Collaborations like this one with Wildlife Noosa enable us to advocate for marine life protection and showcase the strength of unity in safeguarding our oceans.“ Sandra’s other books include Grub and Tree Beings (also published by EK Books), as well as Boogie Woogie Bird, In the Shadow of an Elephant, Where’s Lucky?, and The Christmas Garden. In 2020, Tree Beings was an INDIES Finalist for Juvenile Nonfiction (Children’s) and won a Wilderness Society Environment Award for Children’s Literature.

“I owned an art gallery and retail store before finally deciding it was well and truly time to nurture my lifetime passion and focus on children’s picture books,“ she said.

“To date I have been lucky enough to have illustrated six books, authorstrated two and currently have two more on the way.“ Pick up a copy of the book locally at Harry Hartog Maroochydore, The Junction Bookstore Noosaville, Annie’s Books On Peregian, or ask your local bookshop.

The mimic octopi possess a unique ability to mimic the appearance and behaviours of various marine species.

The teams from Sea Life Sunshine Coast and Wildlife Noosa releasing the Mimic Octopus.

Senior Dance Troupe opened the evening with a wonderful performance.

Spectacular spring event Talented music and dance students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College performed with panache for over 400 family and friends in their annual Spring Spectacular concert.

It was an unforgettable evening of music featuring something for everyone.

Over 250 students, from Prep to Year 12, took to the stage in two concerts performing over 40 songs from classical to jazz, musical theatre and modern.

The first concert began with the smooth groove of the Senior Jazz Band, followed by the senior musical theatre and dance troupe, singing, dancing and acting in a foot stomping crowd favourite.

Not to be outdone the Junior Choir sang and danced to disco tunes and enjoyed songs from the musical ‘Annie’. Beautiful harmonies from Aurora Choir were followed by the Year 4 Band who showcased the hard work and enthusiasm from the Year 4 Immersion program. The concert ended with a combined piece from the Wind Ensemble and Maroon Band which was delivered with maturity and style. The crowd went wild and the concert ended in a double rainbow event.

The second concert began with Year 4 Strings again as part of the Immersion program.

Mr Jim Tomkins, Director of Instrumental Music at Good Shepherd said, “Our Year 4 instrumental program gives every Year 4 student the chance to learn an instrument of their choice for the year and to play in an ensemble and have a small group lesson.

This provides a great platform for students to begin their journey into music.”

Senior students embrace the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in front of a large crowd.

The evening continued with the junior and senior string groups including a guitar ensemble played songs from Star Wars to Thriller, musical songs, Alice in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

“We were also fortunate to have Antoni Bonetti, conductor of the Brisbane Symphony Orchestra, lead the Good Shepherd Lutheran College Orchestra in a number of pieces including The Marriage of Figaro,” Mr Tomkins said.

The evening concluded with a sea of musicians taking to the stage, including members of junior and senior string groups, guitars and Orchestra who serenaded the audience with Viva la Vida by Coldplay.

Mr Tomkins said, “This concert is the highlight of our musical calendar and features the culmination of many hours of practise and commitment by all the students, staff and parents, so it is a wonderful event for our school.”

The Sunshine Coast woman shared her prize would be spread between family, a holiday, and bathroom renovations.

Sunshine Coast mother in disbelief after $10k win A Forest Glen mother has attributed her $10,000 Instant Scratch-Its top prize win to a conversation she had with her son about tools on the weekend.

Her top prize-winning $1 ToolBox Bucks Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Wirreanda News, 110 King St, Buderim, Queensland.

“I’m still in shock!” she exclaimed when an official from The Lott called to confirm the win this morning.

“I popped into the newsagency to check an old ticket that had been in my purse for ages.

“I just bought another two $1 Instant Scratch-Its tickets for fun and scratched them while I was there.

“Strangely enough, I bought the ToolBox Bucks ticket because my son was talking about buying a drill the day before.

“I couldn’t quite read them. I handed them to Anthony, the team member at the newsagency, and the first one came up with no win. Then on the second one, I saw his face change.

“He said, ‘one minute’ and I thought I must have won a free ticket.

“Then he said, ‘you’ve won $10,000!’

“I seriously didn’t believe him!”

The Sunshine Coast woman shared her prize would be spread between family, a holiday, and bathroom renovations.

“My family are so excited,” she explained.

“We might do a holiday to the Gold Coast.

“It’s going to help with some bathroom

Good results on yabbies The winning ticket. renovations too.”

Wirreanda News owner Anthony Mewengkang said he was thrilled to have sold a top prize-winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket.

“What a surprise it was! We’re so happy to have sold a top prize-winning Instant Scratch-Its ticket and we’re sure our fortunate winner is over the moon,” he said.

“Our regular customer had checked her ticket in our store and it was a special moment. I’m sure it’s something she will remember for the rest of her life!

“The team and I are so happy for our customer. Congratulations to her and we wish her all the best.

“We hope this is the start of a winning streak for us!”

With some windy conditions last weekend the river and estuary systems were popular.

The Kauri Creek has been really producing with the area down towards the mouth really firing for whiting.

There have been quite a few yabbies on the banks, and these make perfect baits for those big elbow slapper whiting.

Other live bait options would be freshly pulled beach worms or peeled prawns.

For the lure anglers, try small poppers and surface walker using assist hooks.

If you’re not up to speed on how to catch whiting on the surface call into the shop and we will run you through the approach.

In Tin Can, the run out tide has been perfect for the flathead.

The fish are in the shallows feeding on smaller bait that is brought down on the tide.

Soft plastics are perfect for the job and pink is reported to be the hot colour at this time.

Cast up onto the banks and slowly work the lure back with the tide, this will give a more natural look as the lure is moving with the tide.

Paddle vibes are always a hit with the jew and the number one option is Samaki Vibelicous.

These lures are a little more expensive but are a proven winner when it comes to chasing jew.

The deeper holes is where the action is.

Jack are also in good numbers as the waters warm and if we get the forecasted stormy weather over the next week this fish will really fire.

Work areas like the moorings in Snapper Creek, Carlo Creek, and the pylons near Bullock Point boat ramp.

There will be bigger breeding fish in the area so if you do catch a large one, better to take a photo for the brag wall, and let it swim free to reproduce.

Offshore conditions have been pretty average with only a small window of opportunity through the week mornings.

The Reefs off Double Island at this time of the year is usually firing but reports were things were a little slow.

Fish that were taken were, pearl perch, snapper, mauri cod, tusk fish, and cobia with most fish only just making size.

On the pelagic front there has been reports of wahoo, spanish and spotted mackerel in the northern part of Hervey bay.

To the south, Noosa anglers did well with the closer reefs seeming to be more productive.

Sunshine was good for trout, snapper, sweetlip and some nice jew.

Burley has been the key when it comes to raising some good reef fish so make sure you have an extra block of pilchards on board for that reason.

Cut small, inch long chunks and drop a few pieces to start.

Then follow with one or two every couple of minutes and fish your bait through the trail to get the best results.

For those of you that love the lure of a lure, then this is a great time for plastics and jigs.

These reef species love to chase a lure and if worked correctly can sometimes out fish baits.

Having the right weight jig head or jig is the most crucial part.

Not enough, and you won’t get to the bottom and too much will see you hooking the reef every time.

For more info on how to pick the right weight call into our stores and chat to our friendly staff.

On the beaches there are some reports of tailor just north of Teewah.

Again the fish are still around that chopper size during the day with the odd bigger fish on the evening tide.

Trevally numbers have also been good around Inskip with GT’s on offer around the top of the tide.

There is a common misconception that these fish are no good in the pan, which is totally untrue.

Treated right, trevally are delicious and can be pan fried or go especially well in curries.

For all the latest information log onto www. fishingnoosa.com.au.

For up-to-date bar and fishing reports, don’t forget to drop into Gympie’s Newest tackle store “The tackle Shop”, Tackle World Noosa, and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and remember Tight Lines and Bent Spines. **Anglers, please note, there will be no fishing report next week, but we hope to bring you a report again the following week for 27 October.**

Bright start for big season

By Randall Woodley Last weekend was the official start of the Sunshine Coast’s 2023-24 cricket season and what a busy weekend it turned out to be. Five senior teams took to the field whilst all the juniors, under 11s to under 17s played their first matches of the season.

And despite the weather, the results were fairly positive for the club after Day 1 of the matches.

FIRST GRADE: The boys commenced their first two-day match against the Maroochydore Swans at Read Park under threatening skies and after winning the toss they decided to bowl first. Without their No 1 bowler, Ben Laughlin for the first hour they opened up with the two 17 year olds, Talon Reichert and Zac Murray.

Jarrod Officer who has played 300 firstgrade games commented after the day’s play that he was sure they were the youngest opening attack in his time and maybe in the club’s history.

However, the pair absolutely deserved the new ball and showed it - Talon taking a wicket in the first over before Maroochydore got on a bit of a roll.

Zac picked up the next wicket to have them 2-50 before the interruptions through rain began. During the afternoon there were five rain delays - which played into Thunder’s hands.

Ben Laughlin took 2 quick wickets (2-12), one to the skipper, Michael Eckard before Zac Murray (3-34) took 2 more rippers in between rain delays. Talon came back late to take another wicket (2-42) and Officer one to have Maroochydore on 9-107 at stumps. The ground was lightning fast even with the wet so overall it was a great effort with the ball and sets the team up well for next week.

SECOND GRADE: Like most of the other teams playing on Saturday, the seconds were on and off the field at Palmwoods all afternoon.

The new captain, Tristan Griffith won the toss and sent the Hawks into bat on what looked like a soft wicket. It proved to be a long and slow afternoon with all the Thunder bowlers on song, and not allowing any of the opposition batters to score freely. They all bowled well with the highlight of the day seeing youngsters Jack Kaspers (0-30 off 11) and Finn Mayo (1-22 off 16) bowling long spells of leg-breaks. Josh Christensen came back on late in the day to take two quick wickets. At stumps Palmwoods were 4 -79 off their 57 overs. The fielding of the team was exceptional which backed up the bowlers performance. Next week the boys will be pushing for the win.

THIRD GRADE: The team travelled to Caloundra and were met with a green and patchy deck under cold and windy conditions. Thunder’s skipper lost the first toss of the season and they sent us into bat. Brendan Wright and Harper Lee started well but then the TewantinNoosa boys lost a few wickets in quick succession to the ball nipping around. At 4-40 the team were struggling but the players dug in and formed a few partnerships which dragged them back into the game. Leon Beatty knocked them around for his 26 but it was the captain, Nigel Webster who steadied the ship and carried the team to a reasonable total of 171. Nigel scored 86 off 82 balls with twelve 4s and four 6s. Daniel Cooke (23) and son Farran put on valuable runs at the end. At stumps Caloundra were 0-10.

The highlight of the day was seeing four father/son combos playing with some getting a chance to bat together (Lees, Beattys, Websters and Cookes). Plenty of work to do next week with the game starting at 12pm.

FOURTH GRADE: were at home taking on Caloundra who decided to bat first. The bowlers struck early and had Caloundra at 3-71.

Unfortunately that’s where the joy ended.

Thunder’s best bowler, Rory Ramsden (1-19), pulled up lame and with four 4 stoppages in play due to rain, Caloundra’s 4th wicket partnership put on 140 runs. They finished the day on 4 for 277.

A bit of work to do next week to stay in the game but no doubt the combination of experience and youth in the team will give it a redhot go.

FIFTH GRADE: In a rain interrupted afternoon against USC, the Thunder team were 5 for 70 at stumps with top scorer Tony Watson (21).

Thunder’s Ben Blackwell scoring his 57 not out against UNDER 17s started their season against Cooroy at home and batted first. Brandon Henderson and Oliver Wilson opened the innings and it was Oliver’s outstanding innings that kept his team in the game. Notable mention to Max Joyce and Farron Cooke who stayed at Oli’s side to steady the ship with him. Oli top scored with an amazing 82 (off 87 balls) not out and saw the team home with a defendable total of 123 off 30 overs.

Heading into the field as the wind picked up and the rain threatened, the Thunder bowlers were able to get two wickets thanks to Brandon and Tony Hunting and Cooroy finished the day on 2/79 off 25 overs. Should be a good session next Saturday so come down to Dale Officer Oval and support the team.

UNDER 15s played Cooroy-Eumundi at Cooroy and bowled first. Thunder’s bowlers had early success and apart from some middle order resistance they were bowled out for 50.

Best of the bowlers - Emile Lewis 2-13 (4), Eddie Weychardt 2-4 (1) and Lachlan Kelly who took wickets off his first two balls and will be on a hat trick next innings! The bowlers were well supported by some great fielding and catching.

Thunder’s batting innings started shakingly being 4-33 but a solid middle order partnership of 52 from Fenn Peddie (24) and Ben Blackwell (57*) saw Thunder finish Day 1 on 6-141.

UNDER 13s travelled to Yandina to play the Pioneers. Winning the toss, they batted first finishing 3-197 off 30 overs with all batters valuing their wickets. In response Thunder limited Yandina to 8-41 with some great stump to stump bowling and fielding.

UNDER 11 (Lightning). The team won their match against Palmwoods Gold, scoring 2-102 to Palmwoods 82. The match over 20 overs each was the first competitive match for most of the young players and the result was a bonus for them.

Pickleball is proving popular with top tennis players and celebrities.

Noosa Pickleball Club is holding sessions at the Olive Donaldson Pavilion, Noosa Leisure Centre, Noosaville state school and Noosa Tennis Club.

Layla Wilson became the third generation of Noosa surf lifesavers in the Wilson family when she joined Nippers last weekend.

Elite group on showcase On 14 October the Annual Black Belt gradings for the Karate Noosa Club will be conducted with only three candidates qualifying for these gradings. One candidate will go for their 1st Dan, another for their 2nd Dan and the third student will be graded for their 3rd Dan. All gradings will be conducted under the authority of the World Shotokan Karate Federation and supervised by qualified Head Sensi Bryan Dukas 6th Dan. Only two people are qualified to conduct 3rd Dan Gradings in Australia.

Following this in November, seven members will travel to Japan for a two-week tour.

This will consist of one week of intensive training: and following this team members will compete in the World Shotokan Karate Federation Championships. For our local Shotokan club this will be the 8th year that members have undertaken the challenge of advanced training seminar as well as three days of world class competition. Funding for the tour will be greatly assisted by a donation from Stellar Conveyance.

This type of advanced training and competition will ensure that a high standard of this martial art, will always be maintained in our Noosa club.

Outriggers “The Noosa paddlers are gearing up for some big races starting soon. We will host our River Race on 2 December which will be a rare chance to see racing from close up as most of our events is on open water,” said club spokesman Colin Jones This year the Recreational Paddlers are entering a team and as positions are hard to come by, they will be racing off in their various divisions. This week saw an experienced team led by Paul Redfern, and including T. Talsma, Sealskin, G Murray, C Jones and D. Hay fight it out with other crews to win through.

This team is very strong in their age group and are very tough to beat pound for pound.

As this season unfolds Noosa will be looking to cement their position as one of the premier clubs in the South Queensland zone.

Pickleball It is good news from the Noosa Pickleball Club.

Contesting the recent Australian Pickleball Championships, held in Sydney and attended by just under 700 participants, making it the biggest ever held in the southern hemisphere, the Noosa club came home with a swag of medals: 7 gold 10 silver and 5 bronze.

This is indeed an incredible result and speaks volumes for the coaching and support that is available to those thinking of taking up the sport. Add to this the two new courts just opened at the Sporting Complex, and one can only say that here is yet another sport that is now making its present felt throughout, not just in our state but also the sporting world of Australia.

Noosa Pickleball Club came home with a swag of medals from the Australian Pickleball Championships. tory sessions has been a great success in obtaining new members. In the words of club President Ron Glatiff, ‘’The game is exploding in popularity throughout Australia. Another of our positive moves is that several of our best junior and female players are off to America to try out in their major leagues. To give some indication as to the sports success at the international level, top tennis players are turning to pickleball: Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Steffi Graff, Maria Sharapova, Eugenie Bouchard, Kim Clijsters and Jack Sock.

High profile celebrities including George Clooney and wife Amal, world champion golfer Phil Mickelson, admit to being Pickleball addicts. Names and personalities are always great publicity for a new sport: in particular one where the age limit is not a major factor.

Keeping up their successful promotion of the game in Noosa, President Ron Gatliff informs interested parties that the club is currently running sessions at the Olive Donaldson Pavilion in Tewantin, the Noosa Leisure Centre, Noosaville state school and Noosa Tennis Club. ‘’The sport celebrated World Pickleball day on Tuesday October 10,” said Gatliff, “and our club also has an into club day, 29th October at the Caloundra Indoor Centre against the Sunshine Coast Pickleball Club. For more information check our club website or send an email to, info @noosapickleballclub. com “ The administration, promotion and coaching panel of this club is to be applauded for their progressive and successful attitude. Let’s us always remember, that as they progress and host more visiting clubs, as well as tourist (who are already visiting their club) the sport is also helping to promote tourism.

Noosa Pickleball Club brought home 7 gold, 10 silver and 5 bronze from the national championships.

Athletics ‘’This has been a big week for seven of our Noosa Athletics training squad, as they head to Brisbane for the Queensland Secondary School Track and Field Championships: these will run from the 12th to the 15th of October,” said head coach Mick Hooper.

“Our squad has been in training for these championships since early May and the athletes have gained selection via competing at their School, District and Regional carnivals.

Five of our athletes travelled to Mackay during September school holidays break to compete at the very competitive North Queensland Championship. These were a terrific hit out before the School State Titles. Taya Clayton, Harley Davies, Dianne Ladewig, were amongst the medals and Mailee Scott-Jones also performed well to finish with a 4th and 5th in her finals.

Also, during the meet Australian Athletics Championship qualify standards, were also achieved by Taya Clayton in the 100m and 90m sprint and Dianne Ladewig in the 100m hurdles. This allows them to nominate for the Australian Athletics Championships to be held in Adelaide early April 2024. It has been great to see the hard work these athletes put in at training paying off.”

Our Nippers For the Nippers of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, on Sunday 1 October they launched their 56th Nipper season with a Welcome to Country. Delivered by Lyndon Davis and his family in front of more than 1000 members, including 500 plus Nippers and the broader community, it was a great success.

‘’It was a picturesque morning at Noosa Main Beach,” said Director of Junior Activities Shaun Baker. “The sun was bright and the water was clear. For some families it was their first experience of Nippers and Surf life Saving. However, for others like Life Members, Scott Wilson and Peter French, the start of the season saw their grandchildren hit the sand as third generation Nippers at Noosa.

The Nippers enable the children to gain new skills, build resilience and knowledge of the ocean, while making lifelong friendships in a safe and fun filled environment: thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who put their hand up to support the Nipper Program Sundays, between October and April each year.

Surf clubs from all around Australia are using these programs as an introduction to life in the senior clubs. Once they feel, that this a a way of life that that could enjoy, it knows no limits. The modern-day nipper can start at six years of age and continue on to his 70s: where as in the olden times the starting age was 13 years and his title was cadet.

On Sunday afternoon I received a phone call from a very excited fellow life member and club mate Scott Wilson. The reason for the call was to tell me that the family had just enrolled his 6 -year- old granddaughter as a Noosa Nipper. “’And you know what?” he excitedly asked me, ‘’This makes Layla the third generation Wilson in the Noosa club. I could not be prouder.”

Next week we take a closer look at other families such as the French and Irwins, (just to name a few) and the main characteristics that are achieved by the young during their years of surf and sand.

Aussies secure WSL spots Although neither of them made the podium, it was a great last weekend in Ericeira, Portugal for Aussies Sally Fitzgibbons and Jacob Willcox, confirming their spots on the WSL championship tour for 2024 with strong performances in the Vissla Pro. An emotional Sally, who has led the Challenger Series rankings for most of the season, shed a tear when being interviewed after receiving official notification that she had made the cut, shortly after being bundled out of the event in fifth place by Brazil’s Luana Silva.

Although 2024 will be her 16th season on the world tour, it hasn’t been an easy road for the perennial number two (three years in a row early in her career) from Gerroa on the NSW south coast, in recent years having to fight to regain her WCT place.

And while she hasn’t won an event on the Challenger Series this year, the 32-year-old has been a model of consistency, with two seconds, a third and two fifths from the five events held so far.

Meanwhile, for Jacob Willcox, the big lad from Margaret River, qualification for the championship tour seemed to come easily as he cruised through the event honing his casual but powerful backhand attack, and was secured before meeting a rampaging Jake Marshall (USA) in the quarters.

But even when Marshall posted a near perfect 9.57 in the opening moments, Willcox clawed his way back into the heat and came close to taking it.

Now, both Sally and Jacob head into this weekend’s final event of the Challenger Series, at Saquarema, Brazil, with their next season secure and nothing to lose by going all out.

Although until Sunday the most interesting aspect of the Vissla Pro had been the gorgeous backdrop of the mountains that frame the Ericeira coast in a particularly beautiful part of Portugal, finals day really did produce the goods. In fact, after initial misgivings, I’ve become a huge fan of the Challenger Series format, where the almost-best surfers in the world fight like dogs to make the big money tour.

Surprisingly, however, while this produces elements of gamesmanship, what it also consistently produces is a brilliant level of performance from surfers who are putting their future careers on the line in make-or-break situations.

You could argue that the qualifying series has always done that, but mostly in third-rate car park locations, whereas the “elite” qualifier has enjoyed some of the best waves seen in WSL competition this year, and finals day at Ribeira D’Ilhas, Ericeira, was right up there with the best.

In the men’s Brazilian young gun Mateus Herdy was electrifying with a seamless forehand approach until taken down by Jake Marshall in the semis, setting the stage for a brilliant final between two former WCT surfers who have had to struggle back up the line for a

chance to get on the main stage – Marshall and Brazil’s Deivid Silva.

Neither of these great surfers disgraced themselves in their time on the championship tour, but at the Ericeira final they were both on fire.

Silva, whose smooth, fast backside surfing had produced a near perfect heat of 19.03 (highest of the event) in the semis, prevailed over Marshall with two high eights in the final, but it was a tense, exciting battle in waves that had doubled in size since the morning.

The win saw Silva rocket up the rankings 20 places to fifth, while Marshall moved up 12 to third place and near-certain requalification.

In the women’s division Luana Silva took out the last Aussie in the draw, India Robinson, in a hard-fought semi, but the often under-rated Californian Alyssa Spencer proved too good for her in the final. In fact Spencer’s lip-smash-

ing backhand made her arguably the strongest competitor of the event, posting seven excellent scores (above eight points out of 10), including three consecutive heat totals above 16 points in the quarters, semis and final, an incredible performance on a long Sunday in pumping waves.

“This year has been so hard, all of these girls are surfing amazingly and the level is the highest it’s ever been,” an emotional Alyssa told the WSL. “This is the greatest confidence boost I could ask for and it puts me in a great spot heading to Saquarema.”

Spencer goes to Brazil in fourth place, with five women to make the cut for the 2024 WCT. For the Australians, Sally Fitz still has a commanding lead over the field with India Robinson now in second, and Sunny Coaster Isabella Nichols dropping back to fifth.

WA’s Bronte Macaulay finds herself just out

of the cut at seventh, needing a big result in Brazil.

In the men’s, where 10 qualify, USA’s Cole Houshmand holds a big lead over Jacob Willcox, with both already qualified.

Our next best are Jackson Baker at 11 and Morgan Cibilic at 14, both needing a huge result in Brazil to get them over the line.

Writer’s note: As a former member and regular competitor in the Noosa Malibu Club’s monthly club comps, I can attest that the second-best thing about them – after winning your heat – is the breakfast barbie! I’m salivating now just remembering all that juicy bacon and sausages jammed between two slices of bread. Well, thanks to IGA and Cr Amelia Lorentson, the club barbies are now sponsored for a generous food package by the surfers’ favourite supermarket. Ravenous groms and old salts need worry no more.

PROPERTY NEWS

AUCTION DAY BRINGS SOLD SIGNS PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY WHILST the power and excitement of auctions are undeniable there’s a four-letter word, whether shouted from the rafters on the big day or in more hushed tones pre and post auction, that’s on everyone’s agenda. It is of course “sold” albeit “gold”.

There have been smiles aplenty recently amongst Tom Offermann Real Estate agents especially last weekend with the Jesse Stowers’ listing of 6 Las Rias, 8 Quamby Place, Noosa Heads.

On a salubrious stretch of the pristine Noosa River, with one neighbour, front row seats on a north-facing terrace several metres to the water’s edge and a feast of 180-degree views,it was Noosa’s number 1 most viewed property in the first week of the campaign.

Little wonder that it was sold under the hammer for $4.65m.

BY GEORGE The sign board for Julie Bengtsson’s listing of 9 George St, Noosaville, stated “By George … After 60 Years it Has to Go!” And by George, after six decades of multi-generational family celebrations, the modest cottage with a forgotten garden, did just that two weeks before the auction and two keen contenders.

Similarly, Chris Miller’s listing of 9404 at Peppers at 5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, a red-hot one-bedroom investment apartment close to Noosa Main Beach.

It was on the market for nine days, went under contract with five offers presented, and was Chris’ 45th sale in the resort.

Roark Walsh also experienced preauction success with 16 Dunnart Pl, Mount Coolum, an award-winning spectacular home with an unique dome design, 360-degree views over Mt Coolum, and set on a 2.7ha site.

KNOCK-OUT OFFER Jesse Stowers was to have two auctions this weekend ... but it’s down to one as the free-standing, three-level beach house 14/30 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, has sold prior.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment in The Hastings saw a knock-out offer in the first week of the campaign.

Situated at the Noosa Pde end of the complex, it is 300m to the surf of Noosa Main Beach.

Queensland-based buyers are expected to renovate it into a luxury villa.

On Saturday, 14 October, Jesse will take the three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car townhouse 2/7 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, to the market at 1pm.

The renovated townhouse with pool is named “Covo”, which in Italian means “your hideaway” and combines luxurious elements of coastal Italy and Noosa.

European oak flooring and bright white walls are features of the high-ceilinged, open-plan living area.

Alabaster-toned wispy sheers catch the breeze when doors on two sides seemingly disappear, revealing a terrazzo-tiled terrace with white surrounds and pandorea vines.

Taking centre stage is the pool which lights up with a calming blue glow at night.

The galley kitchen comes with white stone-topped American oak cabinetry including long island/breakfast bar, double brushed brass sink and tapware, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher plus a Vintec wine fridge.

There are three spacious grey-carpeted bedrooms with block outs/sheers, ensuites and American oak cabinetry; two upstairs have terraces with a green outlook; main has a western oak study nook; and downstairs the bedroom has access to

All the ensuite bathrooms feature porcelain travertine floor and wall tiles, in-wall cisterns, stone-topped/timber cabinetry with brushed brass. And downstairs has recessed arch mirror cabinetry.

ABSOLUTE DELIGHT Sunsets, sunrises, whales and surf checks ... it’s a fabulous renovation and an absolute delight to market.

Correen Mackay of Richardson and Wrench Noosa is full of praise for the threebedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 14 Lorilet St, Peregian Beach, that goes to auction Saturday, 14 October, at 10am.

“It’s a quality home with spectacular views down the beach as well as the hinterland,’’ Correen said. “The terraced area on the roof is more of a separate balcony, so you get beautiful views both ways.

“There are good-sized bedrooms two downstairs opening to the pool and

the main bedroom suite upstairs main bedroom.

The living room is fitted with an EcoSmart fireplace.

“On top of the hill, it has has presentation and lifestyle plus position.’’

Interest has been from Brisbane good, interstate, New Zealand and FIFO workers looking for a family home.

“People are getting organised for Christmas,’’ Correen said.

“Brisbane people are always looking for a weekender in Peregian.’’

The house features open-plan double living areas, air-conditioning as well as fans, and a designer gourmet kitchen. The undercover alfresco dining opens to the pool plus outdoor shower.

“A quality contemporary beachside home, with excellence in finishes and fittings to suit our coastal conditions, the owners have thought of everything,’’ Correen said. noosatoday.com.au

A renovated three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car townhouse with pool at 2/7 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, is set to go to auction at 1pm Saturday, 14 October. 365472 On the ground level timber floors lead to two well-sized bedrooms, while he second living/office opens to the grassed back yard and pool area.

The main bathroom and separate laundry both comes with plenty of storage, workspace and stone benchtops.

Upstairs, there is the open-plan living and an easy-care, minimalistic-style kitchen that comes with Bosch appliances, stone benchtops and butler’s pantry.

The kitchen overlooks the dining/family area and opens to the east-facing balcony.

A feature of the home is the large glass sliding doors and many louvres for crossventilation from the sea breezes.

High ceilings throughout the home giving a graceful flow to the design, with the western balcony offering spectacular views of the evening sunsets.

The main bedroom suite is private from living areas and opens to the eastern balcony as well as having walk-in robe, ensuite and separate powder room.

A HOME BY THE SEA A sub-penthouse in the Elandra residences at 9/6 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads, is like living in a five-star hotel, given the quality build, finishes and location.

auction at 1pm Saturday, 21 October.

There is strong interest already, Melanie said, from Brisbane, New Zealand a locally.

Elandra is the first of the resorts developed in Serenity Close and is tightly held.

Meaning “home by the sea’’ it is positioned on the ridge with filtered northerly views of Noosa Heads, North Shore and the ocean.

This apartment has been held by same owner since it was first listed off the plan.

Much of the appeal of Elandra is that it residents are either owner-occupiers or permanent tenants.

A home with infinite connection between indoor and outdoor living, high ceilings extend to its oversized, marble-tiled entertaining terrace, where modern ceiling fans, a bubbling spa and an integrated outdoor kitchen with barbecue and wok burner, provide every comfort for relaxed scenic entertaining.

Filled with premium bespoke cabinetry and fine architectural features, the apartment has a media room while the designer kitchen is a masterpiece in contemporary presentation, with creamy white, stone-topped benches, an oversized island/breakfast bar and high-end appliances, its rare scullery offering an abundance of storage.

Three substantial bedrooms include a stately main suite with a private dressing room, and an elegant, marble-tiled ensuite presenting dual showers and vanities, separate w/c and a bidet.

In the south wing, both bedrooms two and three boast individual walk-in robes and ensuites, while a separate powder room caters for casual guests.

The office comes with custom-built desks and a built-in library.

The house-sized apartment has lift access from the underground parking.

TEWANTIN IN THE SPOTLIGHT Considered as one of Noosa’s most liveable suburbs, Tewantin continues to remain a popular choice for buyers in the third quarter of 2023 due to affordable house prices and close proximity to Noosa and surrounding suburbs.

The Reed & Co Property Update for the September quarter reports that the median sale price for houses has increased slightly to $946,175 from $940,000 since the beginning of this financial year.

“As we near the end of the year and head into the warmer months, we continue to see high demand for A-grade properties in the desired suburb of Old Tewantin,’’ Reed & Co’s Mark Hodgkinson said.

A classic example of this is 17 Shields Street; the 90-plus year-old home,

relocated from the eastern suburbs of Brisbane and situated on a large block.

A blend of vintage character and modern luxury, it saw a total of 30 buyers through during the first open home.

That resulted in the successful auction Saturday, with the property selling for $1.410m.

Bidding opened at $900,000 with seven registered for the four-bedroom, threebathroom, two-car house with pool on 812sq m.

ON THE COVER

BRING THE BOAT, LIVE IT UP AND LIVE LIFE INDULGING in an idyllic Noosa lifestyle on exclusive Hideaway Island is easy. Just bring a boat, if you aspire to loving life on a tranquil, deep-water expanse within reach of two pristine waterways, including the Noosa River, on a 28-metre, wider-thanmost waterfrontage with a tidal beach, that totally encompasses the remarkable panorama. Similarly, is the proximity to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach by foot or boat, or take a stroll to the restaurants in Quamby Place.

On arrival there’s a sense of privacy and mystery which defines this prestigious address and endorsed when opening the gate into the walled established garden with cycads and stately palms.

Cross the threshold into the entry, look beyond the hallway and be totally impressed by the stone floors that fan out across the clerestory-high generous dining, kitchen and living areas, that are filled with natural light thanks to almost disappearing banks of glass, that frame the great outdoors.

The idyllic north-facing well-loved residence with multiple lounging/leisure areas indoors and out has water views from most rooms, and the expansive terraces stretch the width of the residence.

While the sun-splashed pool with tall swaying palms extend the realm of entertaining and fun times, it’s the magnestism of being on the waterfront that also ticks boxes. Swim in the white-sand shallows or launch a kayak; the jetty is the perfect spot to reel in tailor and whiting; and why not up-anchor the boat for more serious fishing in the open stretches of the nearby Noosa River towards The Everglades.

It is obvious the U-shaped open plan kitchen with timber-topped cabinetry, marble splashbacks, and heaps of storage is perfect for the consummate entertainer who might also be inspired by those tasty views.

Opposite is a lounge, maybe a media or study area and in the nor-westerly wing is an over-sized carpeted king bedroom suite with plantation shutters, walk-in robe, marble-tiled ensuite and needless to say the water views from the terrace or bed are sensational. Upstairs, everything about the aforementioned king suite is replicated; next to it is a king/twin with built-in robes and terrace access; the marble bathroom has a oversized bath; and at the top of the stairs is a lounge/retreat area with a bar.

“Living in a residence with a privileged location and nothing but sand and water out the front, really is top of the class,” remarks Tom Offermann Real Estate agent

Nic Hunter, who has slated the property for auction on Saturday 21 October 2023.

“The magnetism of the area is indisputable with so many naturally beautiful assets - waves peeling off the point at Noosa National Park, Spring temperatures of 28-degrees and the north-facing Noosa Main Beach. This is all complemented by a plethora of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques all so close at Quamby Place, Gympie Terrace and Hastings Street. That includes Hideaway Island. When you arrive for the first time at the location on the water’s edge, you instantly appreciate the name. It is precisely the environment’s natural beauty that will continue to underpin and grow property values.”

McNab’s Managing Director and Founder Michael McNab said with construction now well and truly underway, their vision of the community is starting to come to life. “We’re excited to be providing future residents with the best of both worlds living in tranquil surroundings, yet close to Queensland’s pristine beaches, and a range of amenities including St Andrews Anglican College.

NOOSA TODAY 29

HOME FOCUS

COASTAL LIVING AT ITS FINEST YOU need to experience it firsthand, the feeling of instant relaxation and Noosa holiday vibe in your very own home. Look no further than 90 Outlook Drive. This beautifully and tastefully renovated home is set amongst mature swaying palms with the added bonus of privacy and tranquil surroundings.

This single-level property presents an unrivalled opportunity to own a truly lovely oasis, walking distance to shops, schools, Noosa Golf Club, and only minutes from Noosa river. With the soundtrack of kookaburras and wildlife, it feels like you are nestled amongst the wilderness but in the convenience of town-living. Cranks Creek walking track access is directly across the road, making it quick and easy to wander into town or just go for a relaxing casual stroll with the family.

Upon arrival you are greeted with striking palm trees surrounding the entire property, impeccable landscaping, and an all-round coastal feel on this generous completely secure corner block. With no work left to do, you take in the natural environment as you enter up the wrap-around deck to the oversized designer front door.

Open plan at its finest, the instant vista

upon entering the home is breathtaking and instantaneously gives you that Noosa vibe.

Large wooden glass stacker doors open completely to bring the outdoors in, with open plan living, dining, and kitchen leading out onto the large undercover 13 metre deck, entertainment area and landscaped yard. There’s also a manicured inground solar heated pool complete with waterfall and framing coconut palm. Brand new eco pool pump has been installed in May this year to reduce power bills.

With ceiling fans outdoors keeping you cool in the warmer months, and a woodfire heater in the living room keeping you warm in the cooler parts of the year, this home

offers everything and anything you could ever need. Brand new reverse cycle ducted system has been installed in March this year throughout the entire home as well.

Venture to the other side of the dining room through the bi-fold doors onto the wrap-around deck and you’ll find another large entertaining or sitting area under the palms. The home is designed for separate living if needed or wanted, with the master bedroom located at one end of the house offering sliding door out to the entertainment deck with large ensuite and built-in robes.

Venture back through the living area and into the long hallway where three bedrooms and main bathroom are located.

Generously sized bedrooms and a third bedroom currently used as an office are perfect for the growing family, or a separate dual-living type situation. All bedrooms have built-in robes, with one bedroom having sliding door opening out onto the back entertainment deck and swimming pool view. A lovely sight to wake up to, or nice break away from the computer screen if working from home. Two bedrooms have bay windows, perfect for relaxing and reading a book, or simply for storage or

sitting area.

Continue down the hallway to the second living area - an oversized media room and available storage wardrobes therein. You immediately envisage lazy days watching a good movie with the family after a full day of swimming in the glistening pool.

Stemming off the back deck but still connected to the main residence is the laundry/utility room with additional study desk and storage options, as well as another toilet. Continue through the external door and you arrive at the clothesline area and again, more storage for cars, trailers, caravans – or pretty much anything you’d like, with added bonus of being undercover. The side of the house is fully gated and secure. The carport is high and wide, with an additional car or caravan, boat, or trailer storage to the right making this property ideal for anyone with these types of toys! The carport entrance is secure with electric sliding gate.

A uniquely designed house perfect for families, couples, or those who want separate but connected living. This one will fly out the door.

Submit all offers. Going to auction Saturday 21 October if not sold before. ●
