In what must be classed as one of Australia’s finest international wins in amateur boxing, local Impact boxer Ciara Storch has won the gold medal in the prestigious 2025 USA Open International in Pueblo, Colorado.
Traveling with the Australian team and fighting under the guidance of her home coach and Boxing Australia’s Head Coach for this tour, Mark Evans, she faced a tough opponent from Canada, narrowly losing the first round 3-2 on the judge’s scorecards. However following a strong pep talk from Coach Mark Evans, which had her fired up, Ciara came back determined taking the second round and setting everything up for a decisive third. With everything on the line, Ciara delivered a world-class performance, dominating her opponent to win the final round (65kg division) unanimously, thus gaining for her the title -- USA Elite Women’s Champion.
“This is a massive achievement, and to do it here in the USA makes it even more credible,” head coach Mark Evans said. “I am so proud of this kid and how far she’s come.”
This gold medal adds to Ciara’s already impressive record: complementing the bronze she won at the World Championships, at the very same venue last November. It is obvious that from the report tabled by Coach Mark Evans, that, with teams currently competing across Switzerland, Belgium, Lithuania and the USA, “Exciting times lie ahead for Boxing Australia.”

Data released from Anglicare Southern Queensland’s (ASQ) 2025 Rental Affordability Snapshot this week confirms the stark reality of the region’s housing crisis, with nearly zero affordable and appropriate rental properties available on the Sunshine Coast for people on income support.
Since 2010, Anglicare Australia and a network of state and regional partners have conducted the annual Rental Affordability Snapshot. The 2025 data was captured by ASQ on all rental properties available across the region over the weekend of
16-17 March.
Of the 732 rental properties available in the Sunshine Coast, only 2 (0.3percent) were affordable and appropriate for households on income support, only 7 (0.1 percent) were affordable and appropriate for those on minimum wage, and across all household categories median rent on the Sunshine Coast for a couple on minimum wage with two children doesn’t fall below 44 per cent of household income.
The study found a single adult on youth allowance on the Sunshine Coast would need to pay 134 per cent of their income in rent, and both a
single parent on minimum wage and a couple on an age pension would spend 55 per cent of their income on rent.
ASQ reports on rental affordability in a region encompassing the lower third of Queensland, stretching from the Queensland–New South Wales border, north to Bundaberg, and west to the Northern Territory border.
This year’s report shows regions across Southern Queensland in crisis with rents on par with Melbourne and Sydney.
Across the 8,646 rental listings surveyed, only 0.5 per cent were affordable and appropriate for
those on income support. For those on minimum wage, there wasn’t much choice either, with the number of affordable rental properties sitting at 7.7 per cent.
Anglicare Southern Queensland CEO Sue Cooke said it was disappointing to see no real improvement – in fact, deterioration – in the overall rental affordability data in the past 12 months.
“The lack of safe, affordable and appropriate housing is not just a housing issue - it’s a community issue and it’s one that becomes a greater problem each year,” Ms Cooke said.

The 2025 Noosa Queensland Day Awards are all about honouring generous-spirited local volunteers and recognising the incredible difference their efforts make to the community.
There are dozens of deserving nominees who will be honoured at Sandy Bolton MP’s Queensland Day ceremony at The J on Friday 6 June such as nominee David Watts from Tewantin Noosa Lions Club.
David’s volunteer efforts with Tewantin Noosa Lions Club have spanned 25 years, which is an impressive achievement in itself.
However, David has taken his volunteering to the next level, holding multiple Lions Cabinet Positions including the District Governor of 56 clubs in the District of 201Q4 Central Queensland in 2020 which was the first time that the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club had a representative of this level since its inception 58 years ago.
David has also held multiple executive positions with the Tewantin Noosa branch over the years including Treasurer, twice President and twice Secretary.
“David has been instrumental in arranging many new local community projects for the Lions including guiding the annual distribution of around $40,000 of funds back to the community. He is a man dedicated to serving others which is why we have nominated him for this award,” current president, Michael Roach said.
David can often be found helping out at many of the Lions activities, such as disability needs support, therapy dogs programs, car parking, walk to school program, little Nippers and Sailability.
He has donated countless hours of his time to raising funds and helping those in need in the
With the theme of this year’s Australian Heritage Festival being “unearthed”, the Tewantin Heritage and Historical Society Inc. has invited descendants of three of Tewantin’s pioneering and influential families to share their fascinating stories. These incredible stories will come to light as part of the Tewantin Heritage & Historical Society’s event recognising and celebrating the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Gympie to Tewantin Electric Telegraph line, and Telegraph Office.
Listen to stories about the Ross, Blakesley, and Parkyn families, their journeys, their struggles, their endeavour, and their hard toil.
community.
The Noosa Electorate Queensland Day awards are an initiative of Noosa MP Sandy Bolton with sponsorship support from Noosa Today and Cooroy RSL.
All local community groups can nominate, until 12pm on 19 May, up to two individuals who have not received a Noosa Queensland Day Award before and have volunteered their time or provided pro-bono services for a minimum of two years within the Noosa state electorate.
To complete an online nomination, visit www. sandybolton.com/qld-day-awards. Hard copies of nomination forms can be downloaded from this link and are also available from Sandy Bolton’s office at Suite CB05, 28 Eenie Creek Rd, Noosaville, across the carpark from the Ampol Noosa Civic petrol station or by calling 5319 3100.
Early voting may be more convenient but it’s taken something away from the voting experience.
It’s no longer a one-day event for everyone.
The build up to Election Day, for those with an interest in politics, feels diminished when half the population has already voted before it happens.
Does the introduction of early voting affect the voting outcome?
A study from Cambridge University of Australia’s fairly recently introduced early voting practices found people were more inclined to vote early where the electoral campaign seemed irrelevant to the outcome in their seats, so in safer seats, and where the outcome was uncertain, more voters delayed their judgements until polling day.
Another finding was that older voters were less likely to wait for polling day to vote.
But how has it affected those sausage sizzles and cake stalls that were one of the highlights of the day?
Where did they come from? What was their motivation in settling here? What did they do when they did get here? All will be revealed on Saturday 3 May at the Tewantin CWA hall and Parkyn’s Hut Visitors Information Centre, in Poinciana Avenue from 9am to 12noon.
Join the Tewantin Heritage and Historical Society Inc. for a fun filled morning as they celebrate the remarkable milestone of 150 years since that first telegraph message was received on Tuesday 6 May 1875.
For further information go to Parkyn’s Hut website at www.parkynhut.com
I’ve noticed there are fewer of them and who could blame them with fewer voters to entice.
I don’t know how many stalls will be operating across Noosa on Election Day this Saturday but I do know the sausage sizzle and cake stall at Peregian Beach Community Kindy on Saturday morning will be where I’m heading.

“We’re seeing more of our most exposed citizens - our youth, young families and single mothers – being the ones hardest hit by the lack of affordable and accessible housing.
“The human cost of rental stress and unaffordable housing is huge, and it’s a key driver of homelessness. Our report shows those unable to secure housing, including young people, can be forced into couch surfing, unsafe accommodation or remaining in situations of family violence.
The report listed the number of homeless people on the Sunshine Coast at almost 1400 with 15 per cent of those youth.
“Anglicare Southern Queensland is one of many at the frontline and each day we see the impact of the housing crisis. We are focused on supporting the community with practical assistance and solutions,” Ms Cooke said.
“We provide a range of services and housing but when you look at the data ... this is a drop in the ocean for what’s needed.”
The report recommends addressing the situation in a holistic manner across the whole housing spectrum, from homelessness and social housing through to affordable rental and home ownership; and to consider touch points with broader social issues such as economic hardship, employment, and education and involving all levels of government.
On a federal government level and with an election looming ASQ says housing supply remains a critical issue but policies designed to assist first time homeowners that stimulate demand were likely to add more pressure to markets and prices, and subsequently on renters, and both major parties were overlooking those who need the most help.
Recently released SGS Economics and Planning/National Shelter data shows the disparity between median rents and income growth with rents having risen at least 3.5 times faster than income in regional Queensland, and three times faster in Brisbane.
TheAustralianCouncilofSocialServicespoints out, “income support should be there to support people through the tough times, not keep them in a struggle for survival”.
“Routine indexation increases are clearly insufficient to cover even basics such as housing, food, bills, and transport, particularly in a cost-of-living crisis”.
With the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS), ASQ supports the call for all income support payments to be raised to at least the pension rate ($82 a day) so people can afford life’s essentials and live with dignity.
On a state government level ASQ noted both the former ALP and new LNP governments had
committed to housing but the Snapshot showed more needed to be done.
The report made reference to the former ALP government’s Homes for Queenslanders plan in its Queensland Budget 2025-2026 paper, saying the Queensland Council of Social Service (QCOSS) had noted it was “a credible broad-reaching housing plan that included nation-leading social housing targets that, if implemented long-term, [could] end the housing crisis in Queensland,” as well as the LNP’s commitment of one million homes over the next 20 years, including 53,500 new social housing dwellings by 2044.
ASQ said it looked forward hearing outcomes of the recently established Homelessness Ministe-
rial Advisory Council, which will comprise leaders from across government, councils, and the housing, health, and community sectors, to “help better target crisis response[s] and drive sustainable, long-term solutions to homelessness”.
On a local government level ASQ accused recent policy responses that criminalise public camping by people experiencing homelessness, of compounding disadvantage and putting pressure on other social services, agreeing with QShelter policy and strategic engagement manager Jackson Hills that the tension between public use of parks and similar spaces, and the need for those experiencing homelessness to find a place to sleep safely, is a difficult issue and challenging to resolve,

When Noosa residents go to vote in the federal election on Saturday 3 May, if they haven’t already done so, they will have to choose from seven candidates for Noosa’s Wide Bay House of Representatives electorate and select Senators.
To vote for a Member of the House of Representatives, the Australian Electoral Commission advise you are required to write the number ‘1’ in the box next to the candidate who is your first choice, and the numbers ‘2’, ‘3’ and so on against all the other candidates until all the boxes have been numbered, in order of your preference.
On the white Senate ballot paper, you need to either number at least six boxes above the line for the parties or groups of your choice, or number at least 12 boxes below the line for individual candidates of your choice.
It is the voters who decide the preferences on their ballot papers.
While political parties and candidates often recommend how to number a ballot paper as was noted this week at Noosa’s early voting booth, it is entirely up to each voter if they want
to follow that advice or not.
Clive Palmer’s Trumpet of Patriots party, which has openly modelled its policies on those of Donald Trump, is recommending preference votes go to Greens and Labor ahead of the LNP and urges voters to give their second preference to pro-Labor Independent Casey Iddon.
On its Wide Bay How to Vote leaflet, it then recommends Family First, One Nation, Greens and Labor, ahead of the LNP in last place. And despite Greens and Labor appearing to campaign against each other, with strong mutual attacks in recent weeks, the two parties recommend each other for Number Two position.
Both are backing Mr Iddon for third place. However, they are both more generous to the LNP than Trumpet of Patriots, giving it fourth preference, ahead of Family First, Trum-
pet of Patriots and One Nation.
Those are the bigger surprises from How to Vote leaflets for Wide Bay electorate.
Less surprising is that Family First and One Nation have similar, though not identical recommendations.
The difference is that Family First has given its second preference to One Nation, followed by Trumpet of Patriots, while One Nation has given second place to Trumpet of Patriots, followed by Family First.
Both then list, in order of preference, the LNP, Mr Iddon, Labor and Greens.
The LNP has asked its supporters to give second preference to One Nation, followed by Family First, Trumpet of Patriots, Mr Iddon, Labor and Greens.
Mr Iddon on Tuesday was not distributing How to Vote leaflets at Noosa’s early voting booth, Noosa Baptist Church.

A storm at the Anzac Day dawn service in Tewantin turned to sunny skies after the main parade for hundreds who gathered to pay their respects.
The Noosa community once again came together to honour the bravery, sacrifice, and spirit of servicemen and women, past and present, on Friday 25 April.
Wearing her father’s medals for the first time, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said she was blessed with 200 years of wisdom while sitting next to local veterans Geoffrey Garratt, 102, and Ken Bridges, 98.
Geoffrey Garratt fought for Australia in World War II as a Bombadier and Navigator in Lancaster Bombers over Germany.
Kenneth Bridges enlisted in the Merchant Navy during WWII as a 16-year-old in Sydney and has dedicated his life to the defence forces, working for the past 30 years with the RSL to assist other veterans and their families.
Mr Bridges was a seaman and a gunner on Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships (DEMS) which meant they could only fire in defense not in attack.
He travelled across the Pacific at the call of the defense services during the war, then on his return after the war joined the Royal Australian Navy going on to serve in the Korean War.
“Can I say how moving it is to see so many here in the testing conditions today,” Ms Bolton said.
“Everyday we owe the debt of gratitude to the brave men and women (who served) and their families.
“We would not be here or have what we have today without them.”
With a restored relationship between the Tewantin Noosa RSL Club and the Sub Branch, the two branches worked together to make the 2025 Anzac Day a memorable success.

Occasional light showers didn’t dampen the mood of commemoration at the Anzac Dawn Service at Verrierdale. It was a solemn and important Noosa hinterland moment repeated across the shire and in thousands of towns, cities and rural communities as Australians came together to honour those who gave their lives in war.
Piper Mike McDonald played the lament Flowers of the Forest,” followed by prayer and a poem. Noosa Chorale sang “Abide With Me” and our national anthem plus that of New Zealand. Schoolchildren and local group leaders laid wreaths and The Ode was read by retired RAAF Flight Lieutenant Mark Lloyd.
Guest speaker, retired RAAF Group Captain Greg Ison, recalled he was just eight years old when he went to his first Anzac Day march in Sydney in the mid 1950’s.
“I was amazed at the size of the march and was overcome with feelings of excitement and pride but didn’t know why.
“Later as a 19-year-old at a family dinner in Port Moresby I heard veterans of the PNG campaign talk about their experiences and their lost mates. It was then I realised what the Anzac spirit was all about.”
He said, “One hundred and ten years ago today 16,000 Australians and New Zealanders, landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula at what has become known as ANZAC Cove. The Australians were the first to land with the New Zealanders landing later that day.
“We can only imagine what these mostly young soldiers were thinking as they huddled in the boats, being towed ashore. Excitement, anxiety, fear and anticipation would have been forefront in their minds, and some even thinking about their loved ones at home, a long, long way away. They would not have been aware of strategically why they were there and little did they realise the carnage that would follow, with over 11,000 ANZAC deaths and nearly 25,000 wounded during the eight-month campaign.
“They also would not have realised the legacy they would create -- overcoming great adversity, sticking by your mates and getting the job done. We gather just before dawn because they did and, as promised, we have carried on that tradition ever since as a collective act of remembrance, gratitude and reflection.
He said: “We don’t come to glorify war, but simply to recognise the sacrifice, commitment and unselfish devotion by those men and women who served so valiantly for their country and what they believed in, so much so that many knowingly went to their deaths.
“We are here to also remind ourselves that we value who we are and the freedoms we possess. To acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who contributed so much in shaping the identity of this nation and in giving us the freedom and quality of life that we enjoy today.
“We are one of the world’s most culturally diverse nations with almost half of all households having one or both parents born overseas. Yet the spirit of the ANZACs and their values of courage, mateship and honour are accepted as universal values that have united people from all backgrounds.”
Later in the morning hundreds of people lined

Sunshine Coast twins Bridgette and Paula Powers have turned an interview last week that went viral into an opportunity to raise money to assist their rehabilitation of sick and injured pelicans and seabirds.
The insync twins, captured the world for their ability to finish each other’s sentences, even appearing on the US TV host Jimmy Kimmel show, after they spoke to reporters following a fatal accident on the Bruce Highway and a second one on Steve Irwin Way.
The twins told how their mother, Helen, had gone to the aid of a person she thought was an accident victim, and ended up escaping from a man armed with a gun who was later charged by police with 15 offences.
Bridgette and Paula with Helen have run Twinnies Pelican Seabird Rescue, a 24 hour rescue and rehabilitation facility, for the past 25 years.
Even on Jimmy Kimmel’s show the dedicated wildlife carers told the TV host if they ever went to
the US what they would most like to see would be the country’s pelicans and wildlife.
Now, they’re asking for support to continue helping rehabilitate birds through their facility.
“We run a seabird bird rehab facility 24/7 and have never turned a bird away,” they say on their gofundme page.
“We rescue them, and give them any necessary medications for rehabilitation. Care can last anywhere from two weeks to nine months.
“We never give up on a bird.
“We never skimp on the quality of food. We go through seven loads of washing every day, and the machines are running non-stop.
“We will use funds to help the facility in many ways including ongoing costs, food bills, repairs to our older building and a disabled toilet for people who visit which anyone can use.”

Contractors will start inspecting the Noosa Main Beach Seawall during May to inform designs for a future replacement of the 50-yearold structure.
Council’s Infrastructure Services director Shaun Walsh said developing a design was an important first step in what would be a longterm future project to replace the seawall.
“Beachgoers, restaurant staff and patrons may see some activity around the seawall which is along the back of the beach, as contractors inspect the structure and begin the process of producing a design for a new sea wall,” he said.
Mr Walsh said only the design work was funded, with any construction work still a long way off.
“The replacement isn’t currently part of Council’s funded capital program, but having a design ready to go means we can make cost projections and grant funding applications to help fund any future replacement, “ he said.
Mr Walsh said there would be no disruptions while contractors NorthLane Engineering Consultants undertake their design investigations.
The current seawall was built during the 1970s and helped protect the Hastings Street precinct from storm tide erosion and severe weather.
“Many people may not even be aware it’s there along the back of the beach as it’s typically covered by sand, but the important job it does becomes clear when severe weather and storm tides erode the sand, exposing the structure.”
Mr Walsh said the new designs will improve the existing wall’s strength to boost the precinct’s climate resilience in future.
“This process will give us plans for a re-
placement structure that is better able to withstand the sort of severe weather and storm tide events we expect to see in future, to substantially boost the heavily trafficked Hastings Street precinct’s climate resilience.
“NorthLane has assembled a specialist team to develop a design, partnering with coastal engineering experts Port & Coastal Solutions and structural specialists OSE Group to balance protecting the coast with preserving Main Beach’s natural character. Any future construction work will be subject to extensive stakeholder and community engagement.
The design project is jointly funded by Noosa Council and the Australian Government’s Disaster Ready Fund (DRF), which aims to increase the resilience and preparedness of communities, while reducing the risk of harm caused by disasters.

Official failures may have contributed to last year’s Bondi Junction stabbing rampage, in which six people were killed by a man with a Cooloola Coast link, an inquest into the deaths has been told.
The inquest was told Queensland police had apparently not acted on repeated and urgent pleas from the killer’s parents to have his mental health assessed.
And a doctor had declared the man, Joel Cauchi, a fit and proper person to hold a gun licence.
The inquest also heard of other “missed opportunities,” including a psychiatrist’s decision to leave it to him to decide whether to renew his medication regime, which he had abandoned some time earlier.
Among the victims was former Noosa Osteopath Ashlee Good, 38, whose baby was also critically injured in the Bondi Junction attack.
Ms Good carried her baby to the safety of a nearby store before succumbing to her own multiple wounds.
She has now been recommended for a posthumous award for her valour in the face of her own death.
The inquest was told Cauchi was a diagnosed schizophrenic who had been unmedicated and unsupervised for some years while living in Queensland.
It also heard of Cauchi’s anger when his father confiscated his collection of military-style knives, at the family’s Toowoomba home.
Cauchi’s Gympie region connection was revealed in a social media photo broadcast on national television shortly after the massacre.
The photo shows Cauchi with a hired surf board, on the beach at Double Island Point, with
the distinctive Cooloola Sand Mass dunes in the background.
His holiday photos show him in an apparently much more positive state of mind than that shown in video from the massive Bondi Junction Westfields shopping centre, where the killings occurred.
Cauchi also wounded several other people.
Five of the six dead were women, the only man being, Faraz Tahir, a security guard said to have been on his first shift at the shopping centre.
Despite courageous intervention by several shoppers, Cauchi was only stopped when he was shot by senior police officer Amy Scott after, according to witnesses, he ignored her call for him to drop his knife and advanced on her menacingly.
She then immediately began giving first aid to the 40-year-old, unsuccessfully trying to keep him alive.
She and civilian heroes who confronted Cauchi have been lauded around the world.
Cauchi’s parents, who were the first to identify him from televised security footage, said they had no quarrel with Inspector Scott’s actions.
His mother had in 2019 raised concerns with his private psychiatric clinic that he was hearing voices again and believed he was under satanic control.
The inquest was told material on his phone, examined by police after the killings, showed he was “extremely unwell.”
His phone search history reportedly revealed he was “preoccupied with weapons, with violence and with mass killings.”
He had purchased a knife and the next day made a note to call a knife sharpener to confirm “it doesn’t need sharpening for mall use.”
Sunshine Coast breast cancer patients now have access to advanced treatment at Noosa Hospital that is designed for better surgical precision and recovery.
Breast and Endocrine Surgeon, Dr Felicity Adams, said the new SCOUT system, which uses radar technology, would significantly lift the standard of care available to local patients.
“The SCOUT system is designed to help a surgeon more precisely locate tumours. A tiny device, the size of a grain of rice, called a reflector is placed within the target tissue prior to surgery - possibly weeks in advance,” Dr Adams said.
“During the surgery, the surgeon uses a probe which can detect the reflector with millimetre accuracy, providing real-time distance measurements. The system is designed to remove tumours precisely, while helping to preserve as much healthy tissue as possible.”
The new, wireless system replaces the traditional method of inserting a wire prior to surgery.
“Offering local patients access to the SCOUT system right here on the Sunshine Coast is incredibly rewarding,” Dr Adams said.
“It’s more convenient and cheaper for my patients and can significantly reduce the physical and emotional strain of long-distance travel if you’re sick.”
Noosa Hospital chief executive officer Dr Karl van der Merwe, said he hoped the new technology would make treatment a little easier for patients with breast cancer.
“Ramsay Health Care and Noosa Hospital want to want to give our community access to the best care and latest technology so patients have a better experience and better outcomes.”
Maroochy Private Hospital and the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) have joined forces to create the country’s largest regional clinical trial facility in a region.
This pioneering partnership will position the Sunshine Coast as a major international hub for clinical trials, opening new opportunities for medical research in emerging drugs, treatments, and medical devices.
With Maroochy Private Hospital set to open in early 2026, the integration of a purposebuilt research facility within the hospital will provide unparalleled access to cutting-edge medical advancements for both specialists and the wider community.
UniSC Vice-Chancellor and president, Professor Helen Bartlett, said this new clinical site is expected to support 65 local jobs, growing UniSC Clinical Trials’ workforce across South East Queensland to more than 160 professionals, and the largest such network in the state.
“Clinical trials are an important feature of any advanced healthcare system and critical to the development of all new therapies, devices and diagnostics.
“By co-locating research and development of new medical developments and devices with healthcare delivery at Maroochy Private Hospital, the Sunshine Coast community will have even greater access to the latest medical research developments, while boosting capacity for and enabling new opportunities to partner with the medical industry locally and globally.”
Lucas Litewka, director - Clinical Trials Centre, University of the Sunshine Coast, said their whole existence had been culminating to this point, creating the largest trial facility of its kind.
Clinical trials are an important feature of any advanced healthcare system.
“This will not only attract leading medical professionals to the region but will also give our local community direct access to groundbreaking global treatments that would otherwise be out of reach,” Lucas said.
UniSC boasts the largest clinical trial workforce in a regional Australian setting, with 140 specialists leading research into areas such as diabetes, obesity, cardiac conditions, cancer treatments, and vaccine innovations, including needle-free and multi-vaccine delivery solutions.
Unlike many private hospitals where research can be an afterthought, Maroochy Private Hospital was designed with the foresight to integrate world-class research facilities, ensuring specialists and medical professionals have direct access to pioneering clinical trials and the latest medical advancements.

Residents to closely monitor how council adheres to assurances to the community about minimising health and amenity impacts during 62 Lake Macdonald Drive Cooroy Remediation and Subdivision Works.
Council has called for tenders for the Remediation of contamination and Subdivision works for 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy. Tenders close on 14 May 2025.
Council has assured residents that trees will be harvested which includes controlled lowering of trees to the ground once cut rather than felling. Felling results in trees falling to the ground with the force of gravity possibly creating dust.
Another assurance for the control of dust is the site is to be keep moist to a spadeable level with the use of water – expected to be water tankers on the property.
The amount of heavy equipment that will need to traverse the site is a possible dust causing hazard. All dust is harmful regardless of whether it contains any contaminants. The contaminants that will be disturbed and uncovered during the remediation process include lead, arsenic and asbestos – all carried in dust and harmful to humans.
Residents will be keeping a close check on the chosen contractor’s practices to prevent dust.
Council has stated that Covey Associates, the engineers, are experienced and have designed the subdivision so that storm water runoff will not cause any negative issues onsite or offsite including flooding. When the road is constructed, the road diverts storm water into a pipe system. Both these measures are part of the subdivision after the remediation has been completed.
Once again, council has assured residents that erosion and sediment control is undertaken prior to any works taking place onsite. Residents will be noting any dust resulting from these works in preparation for the remediation. For erosion and sediment control a temporary swale and core logs within the new lots and the northern open space area are in place for stormwater runoff until grass and vegetation is established.
Any infringements or impacts on neighbours will be closely monitored and reported immediately to council.
The site will not be accessed from its own frontage during operational works. All the heavy equipment needed will enter and exit the site via Dianella Court. Any interruptions to residents being able to go to and from their homes will be monitored
Think of a library and thoughts immediately turn to books, but increasingly there are libraries popping up to share more nuts-and-bolts equipment.
Here in Noosa Shire, Zero Emissions Noosa Inc (ZEN), together with EcoTekk Noosa, has secured a Queensland Government grant to set up the first e-bike library in Queensland.
Funding comes from the government’s Bike Riding Encouragement Program (BREP) which is supporting bike riding initiatives across the state.
The library is for Noosa residents who are ebike curious but unsure about riding an e-bike or about how to select the best model for them.
It will give residents the chance to ‘try before they buy’.
“Our aim is to increase people’s knowledge of e-bikes and break down misconceptions,” says the library project lead, Jenny Clement.
“We believe that once people have tried an ebike they will feel more confident and will see the benefits for their regular commutes.”
ZEN Inc. hopes that the library will encourage a greater uptake of e-bikes, reducing the number of local car trips and thus contributing to emissions reduction. Getting outdoors on a bike is also known to increase people’s physical and mental wellbeing.
The library is starting out with five bikes that can be used for shopping trips, work commutes or taking children to schools. There is a folding bike for commuters that might want to carry the bike in
their car boot, as well as an e-tricycle for those concerned about stability. The bikes can be fitted with cargo baskets, panniers or child seats, and helmets and locks will be provided.
Depending on demand, loan periods are for two weeks. Loans are free, but borrowers need to take out membership with Bicycle Queensland which includes personal accident and public liability. EcoTekk Noosa, a well-known local e-bike company, provides the technical support needed to keep the bikes well maintained, as well as transporting bikes to and from the borrowers. Riders also receive a briefing covering topics such as how and where to ride, and road safety before they hit the paths.
ZEN Inc. will monitor which bikes are most popular and if people go on to buy their own ebike afterwards.
“We plan to gather feedback from borrowers so we can continually improve, and hopefully expand, the library.”

I felt compelled to respond to John Spencer’s letter in this week’s Noosa Today. John, with respect, you’ve got it completely wrong.
Housing prices—and by extension, rents— are determined by the fundamental principles of supply and demand. It’s basic economics. When supply increases relative to demand, prices fall. When demand outpaces supply, prices rise. That’s why measures like first home buyer grants, which boost demand without increasing supply, often have the opposite of their intended effect.
Now, let’s look at your proposed solutions: restricting negative gearing, removing capital gains tax concessions, capping rents, and limiting residential property ownership to two properties. These steps, as you put it, are aimed at attacking “landlordism.” But here’s the reality: landlords and investors—yes, including home-
owners—are the ones who provide capital to the housing market. Even purchasing an existing home can free up capital that’s reinvested into new housing.
Your proposals make investing in housing less attractive. Less investment means less supply, and if demand stays the same or grows, prices and rents will inevitably increase. Again— supply and demand.
If we genuinely want to improve housing affordability, we need to either reduce demand (for example, by moderating immigration levels) or increase supply. Boosting supply, however, requires tackling complex issues like overregulation, cost and delays in development approvals— things many politicians are reluctant to take on.
Targeting specific tax arrangements based on ideology or envy, while ignoring basic economics, is not just unhelpful—it’s counterproductive. And for the record, I’m a homeowner, but not a landlord.
The issue of housing mix, including short term rental accommodation in residential areas, is a separate and complex issue of its own and deserves its own attention.

A new program by Noosa
is helping the shire’s older residents beat social isolation and stay connected.
The free wellbeing, information and education sessions offered by the Seniors Connect program put older locals in touch with a wide range of services and activities.
Noosa Seniors Coordinator Kelly de Visser said research showed older Australians are more likely to experience social isolation than other demographics.
“This program not only brings our local seniors together for a range of wellbeing activities such as meditation and mindfulness, it also provides useful information and education about services and programs available for seniors to access,” she said.
Information sessions cover wills and estates, financial advice, care packages and local health services, plus social inclusion, among other topics.
Tewantin’s Colin Hooper, 90, said he’s excited to take part.
“I have been attending Noosa Seniors now for about 20 months and have enjoyed the social activities and friendships given at the centre,” Mr Hooper said.
“The staff at the centre are excellent and cannot do enough for you. I think the Seniors Connect program will be a great addition to the community and more to look forward to.”
Seniors Connect is delivered in partnership with the Queensland Government.

Noosa Netball launches into its 2025 season with double the reason to celebrate, marking 50 years of netball in the region and the longawaited upgrade of its clubhouse.
What began in 1975 with just two local teams has grown into a thriving community.
By 1978 Noosa had 14 teams playing locally, and by 1980, more than 350 players from across the region were hitting the grass courts built by Noosa Council.
Over the years, the grass courts have been replaced with hard surface courts and we now we have over 800 members playing our wonderful game.
The first clubhouse, built in 1989 by volun-
teers and a local builder, has served generations.
Now a modern new facility is on the way thanks to funding from the State Government and support from Noosa Council.
Every Saturday morning along McKinnon Drive, you’ll find hundreds of players and supporters gathered, proof that netball is still one of Australia’s fastest-growing sports.
More than just a game, Noosa Netball promotes fitness, friendship, teamwork, and leadership in young people across the shire.
Come down and see the energy, spirit and history in motion.

University of the Sunshine Coast Associate Professor Ipek Kurtböke was horrified to see footage of people playing in thick, sticky sea foam following recent cyclonic activity off the coast of South-East Queensland. She warns that these “bacteria smoothies” may have more harmful pathogens than a sewage treatment plant.
Ipek’s research involves near-shore marine water pollution and her talk at Friday Environment Forum on May 9 will address the presence and sources of Nocardia bacteria in sea foam and its dangers to humans and other living things including the health risks of its harmful by-products.
While working in the field of Biodiscovery since 1982, Ipek has contributed to important international research. Since joining USC in 2001, she has developed teaching programs in the field of applied microbiology and biotechnology, as well as conducting research in environmental, biomedical, agricultural, and food microbiology.

On the green ballot paper you are voting for a representative of your local area or electorate in the House of Representatives.
On the white ballot paper you are voting for representatives of your state or territory in the Senate.
Don’t worry if you make a mistake. Just ask for another ballot paper and start again.
GARDENING AUSTRALIA
ABC TV, Friday, 8pm
Despite what the calendar might say, it feels like autumn has only just begun –how can the deep freeze of winter only be a month away? Time to make the most of May’s sunny days and colourful leaves while we still can. Luckily, Costa Georgiadis and his team have a bounty of ways to enjoy the outdoors before the chill sets in. In Niddrie, Victoria, Georgiadis spends time with a young architect who’s transformed an empty backyard into a productive homestead. Also, Hannah Moloney (pictured) learns about a dazzling array of dahlias at a flower farm in Lower Snug, Tasmania, while a group of students share their creek restoration project with Sophie Thomson in Hahndorf, South Australia. THE PUSH: SCOTLAND’S MURDER ON THE CLIFF SBS Viceland, Saturday, 8.30pm
A harrowing documentary that unpeels the layers of grief and deception surrounding a young woman’s death, this three-part true-crime investigation (airing in full tonight) goes inside a real Edinburgh courtroom as a man stands trial for his wife’s murder. Thirty-one years old and 17 weeks pregnant, solicitor Fawziyah Javed fell 15 metres from Arthur’s Seat in September 2021, telling witnesses to her final moments that her husband Kashif Anwar (pictured with Javed) had pushed her. With no weapon or witnesses to the event, the prosecution relies on evidence from within their marriage to paint a picture of coercive control and escalating abuse as her devastated family seeks justice.

SAM PANG TONIGHT 10, Monday, 8.40pm
They said it couldn’t be done – a tonight show, on network television, in this day and age? But Sam Pang (pictured) has proved the detractors wrong, staying on air for not only all eight scheduled episodes but earning a second season to air later this year. Pang’s fresh take on the classic format offers a casual approach, with engaging yet relaxed interviews and absurd segments all peppered with the comedian’s signature wry asides. Plus, there’s regular input from a rotating roster of guest announcers who manage to both help and hinder proceedings. In tonight’s finale, Pang grills HaveYouBeen PayingAttention?host Tom Gleisner ahead of Australia’s favourite quiz show returning next Monday.

Noosa Fair Shopping Centre has everything you need to spoil every Mum.
Sea of Crystals in Maple Street Cooroy is more than just a store, it’s a must-do destination for locals and visitors to soak up and experience.
The local family owned business is run by Gabrielle, who has lived in Tewantin for 35 years, and been involved in the crystal industry for two decades.
“For many years I taught crystal healing workshops on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, but today my main focus is to assist as many people as I can to experience crystals for themselves and their endless possibilities,” Gabrielle said.
“For some of us it’s just the natural beauty, for others its their amazing healing qualities or their ability to make us feel nurtured, protected and complete.
“It may simply be their stunning colours and
textures or the sense of connection that they can give us to all that is or ever will be.”
Whatever the reason you find yourself drawn to crystals, the crystal you choose is always the right one for you, Gabrielle said.
“Our journeys are all so very unique and individual, just like crystals, I believe that is why we resonate so beautifully with the crystals.”
She said each piece can hold many different qualities and frequencies.
“The amazing thing is that every one of us may experience the energies of the same crystal in many different ways, so to me their possibilities and the gifts they can offer us are limitless.”
Find Sea of Crystals at 14 Maple Street, Cooroy. For more information and to shop for crystals online visit seaofcrystals.com.au
Noosa District Orchid and Foliage Society will hold their annual Mother’s Day Orchid Show in Cooroy Memorial Hall in Maple Street on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 May. Entry is $4.
This show not only provides spectacular flowers and foliage displays of prize-winning plants, it’s also a great opportunity to buy a beautiful orchid, fern or foliage plant.
Experienced orchid growers will be on hand to advise on caring for orchids, ferns and foliage. For just $10, you can do a handson orchid-potting workshop with everything supplied, including the orchid, which you take home. Potting bark and fertilisers will also be on sale, along with $1 raffle tickets. (Eftpos is available.)
While orchids have a reputation of being
delicate and tricky, they are actually surprisingly tolerant, though most don’t like too much water. They have been around for more than 80 million years, in a wide range of climates and regions across the planet.
Buying the right orchids for your location is one of the best ways to maximise your success, along with getting some local growers’ tips through joining an orchid club (noosaorchidsociety.com.au).
Noosa District Orchid & Foliage Society is currently celebrating 40 years and welcomes new members at their monthly meetings. You can get information on joining the society at the show, and meetings are held from 1pm on the first Saturday of each month (February to November) at Tinbeerwah Hall.
By City Cave Noosa
Motherhood is one of the most rewarding roles in life — but it’s also one of the most demanding. Many mothers carry a mental, emotional, and physical load that often leaves little time for themselves.
This Mother’s Day, City Cave Noosa invites you to offer something truly meaningful: the gift of rest, recovery, and wellbeing.
At City Cave Noosa, we provide therapies that not only offer relaxation but also deliver wellrecognised benefits for both physical and mental health. For mothers navigating the pressures of daily life, our services are more than a luxury— they’re a chance to restore balance, relieve tension, and reconnect with themselves.
Our float therapy is one of the most effective ways to create complete mental and physical stillness. Immersed in warm, magnesium-rich water, the body becomes weightless, allowing muscles to relax and the nervous system to calm. The experience supports better sleep, reduces anxiety, and promotes clarity.
For those seeking a different kind of reset, our infrared sauna provides deep, gentle heat that works at a cellular level to enhance circulation, support detoxification, and ease joint and muscle discomfort.
We also offer a range of massage therapies, tailored to meet individual needs. Massage is a powerful tool for reducing stress hormones, improving posture, and enhancing mood.
This Mother’s Day, give the gift of wellbeing. (Supplied)
What sets City Cave apart is our commitment to whole-person wellbeing. Our space is designed to help individuals slow down, reconnect with their health, and feel supported in both body and mind. To make it easy to give this gift, we offer Mother’s Day gift cards, which can be used across all of our services.
This year, celebrate Mother’s Day by giving something truly lasting. Give her time to rest, space to breathe, and support to feel her best. Give the gift of wellness with City Cave Noosa.
If you’re searching for a gift with purpose for mum or your someone special this Mother’s Day, look no further than The Local at Peregian Beach.
Local fashion designer Dui Cameron is the driving force and founder behind The Local and her clothing brand Boom Shankar; of course, stocked in store year round.
“Our boutiques are a thoughtful and eclectic mix of apparel, homewares, gifting, retro vinyl and so much more,” Dui said.
Step inside the boutique on the Corner of the Village square - 6b Heron St, Peregian Beach to feel the airy, happy, sunny and colourful vibe. It’s a little bit quirky and a lot retro.
Here’s four gift ideas to grab from The Local at Peregian this Mother’s Day:
1. A decadent and delicious scent from Odesse. Try them all in store.
2. A stylish bathrobe from Sage and Clare and eye mask from Kip & Co.
3. A new piece from Boom Shankar’s latest collection – or a classic pair of Guru Pants.
4. A Pottery for The Planet tea/coffee cup along with a beautiful box of Love Tea.
The Local at Peregian is like a cool breeze on a warm day, and the store is a space that has something for everyone and where everyone is welcome and vibrancy rests in the air.
It feels like a small-town beachy shop from days gone by. There is a well curated wall of vinyl and retro record players, and a unique combination of retro-esque items contrasted by some of Australia’s most well know gift and homewares brands, fashion and accessories.
The Local replaced an old “Friendly Grocer” space that had been vacant for years and has kept that relaxed and laid-back vibe that resonates with the backdrop of the beach; and importantly delivered with a warm smile.
The brands stocked evoke joy and inspire the
creative within.
“We are passionate about supporting Australian-owned brands and purpose driven products that encapsulate our passion for great design, fun, and our signature touch of retro-inspired quirk,” Dui said.
You’ll find a huge range of gifts to choose from in store, with popular brands like Boom Shankar, Kip & Co, Sage & Clare, Dinosaur Designs, Lorna Murray, Jones & Co, Fazeek, House of Nunu, Pottery for the Planet and Love Tea.
General manager of Boom Shankar and The Local Retail Stores, Liv Mills, says The Local has been warmly received and has quickly become part of the community’s fabric.
“It’s definitely evolved over the two years since we opened as we continue to hone in on our intention of product diversity within our offering and to integrate a sense of connection with our Byron Bay store that opened in April 2024,” Liv said.
“We’ve recently had a beautiful colour injection to our fit out and newly built cosy nook to house our growing offering of soft furnishings, cushions and bed linen.”
And, of course, The Local carries the full range of Boom Shankar each season – always adding a punch of colour and vitality.
“It’s always nice for our retail team to offer up the local success story of Boom Shankar to visi-
tors in store,” Liv said.
“Our Head Office recently re-located to offices upstairs in the Village, so it’s quite unique to have a store close by for Dui to pop in and spread some good vibes and colour on her way up to the office – usually unable to resist the opportunity to play dress ups with shoppers instore.”
Find The Local Peregian at 6b Heron St, Peregian Beach. They’re open Sunday-Thursday 9am to 4pm and Friday-Saturday 9am to 4.30pm.

In memory of loving wife, mother and friend, Emillia McAuliffe, who wanted to make a difference in the world by bringing together women to participate and enjoy fishing, the The Ladies Anglers Classic fishing competition will be held on Saturday 17 May.
The new event included in the GourMay Food festival program is ‘The Lake To Plate’ proudly presented by The Lake Borumba Fish Stocking Association.
This fishing competition will take place at Lake Borumba on Saturday 17 May from 7am4pm followed by ‘The Lake To Plate’ dinner with celebrity chef, Matt Gilinsky.
The Ladies Anglers Classic aims to celebrate women who recreationally fish, promote further women to learn fishing and get involved in the community.
This event also aims to create a community legacy, celebrating Emillia, the late wife of Rob McAuliffe.
Rob is a committee member of the Lake Borumba Fish Stocking Association and Emillia was a passionate and devoted recreational angler who encouraged women to participate and enjoy fishing.
Rob said that this passion came from her seeing the joy and benefits making lures, fishing and being out on the water had on Rob.
One day, whilst he was making lures, she approached him and said, “Teach me how to fish.”
From then on, Emillia got involved, not only in fishing but in desire to better women’s health.
“There’s nothing better than being out on the water,” said Mr McAuliffe.
“Being out there, getting the essence of Borumba itself.
“It’s good for you.”
Going forward, he hopes to see more women get involved, see the benefits and take part in something that everyone can enjoy.
The person that brings in the biggest fish on the day will take home the Emillia McAuliffe Cup.
The day will begin with educational sessions on fishing with valuable tips and insights before
Continuing a legacy of women in fishing, a skill that might traditionally be considered passed down from father to son, it was Rob’s grandmother and her sister that taught him to fish.

The newest Nile River ship in the Viking family is almost ready to take its place in the fleet looking after guests who seek adventure on the magnificent Nile River in 2025.
The Viking Amun was ‘floated out’ earlier this month, marking a major construction milestone and the first time the ship has touched water.
It is due to sail in September 2025 and will join the company’s growing fleet of state-ofthe-art ships for the Nile River and will sail the cruise lines iconic 12-day Pharaohs and Pyramids itinerary.
Viking CEO and chairman, Torstein Hagen said they were “very proud of our growing fleet in Egypt, which we consider to be by far the most elegant vessels on the Nile”.
“Egypt is one of the world’s most captivating destinations, and we look forward to introducing even more curious travelers to this extraordinary region in the coming years,” he said.
It has been said of Egypt’s exhilarating capital, “he who has not seen Cairo has not seen the world”.
During the 12-day Pharaohs and Pyramids itinerary, guests begin with a three-night stay at a first-class hotel in Cairo, where they can visit iconic sites including the Great Pyramids of Giza, the necropolis of Sakkara, the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, or the Grand Egyptian Museum. Guests then fly to Luxor, where they visit the Temples of Luxor and Karnak before boarding a river ship for an eight-day roundtrip cruise on the Nile River, featuring visits to the tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens and the tomb of Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings.
Also included are excursions to the Temple of Khnum in Esna, the Dendera Temple complex in Qena, the temples at Abu Simbel and the High Dam in Aswan, and a visit to a colourful Nubian village, where guests can experience a traditional elementary school.
The journey concludes with a flight back to Cairo for a final night in the ancient city.
Hosting only 82 guests in 41 staterooms, Viking Amun is inspired by the company’s award-winning river and ocean ships, with the signature Scandinavian design for which the ships are known. An identical sister ship to the Viking Osiris, Aton, Sobek and the Hathor, the Amun features several aspects familiar to Viking guests, such as a distinctive square bow and an indoor/outdoor Aquavit Terrace. Other ships in Viking’s Egypt fleet include the Viking Ra and the MS Antares.
In addition to the Amun, the company plans to welcome five new ships in Egypt in the next two years, which will bring the fleet to 12 vessels on the Nile River by 2027.
The traditional float-out ceremony took place at Massara shipyard in Cairo and is significant because it marks the ship moving into its final stage of construction.
She will now be moved to a nearby outfitting dock for final construction and interior buildout. For more information, please visit www. viking.com or call 138 747.

Cooran Community Choir and Hinterland Harmonies, based in Pomona, are both led by passionate vocalist, Gen Douw.
The amalgamated result is a fabulous collection of humans from all walks of life with a common goal to enjoy singing in harmony together and have as much fun as possible doing it.
“Many of us hold a common belief that singing together is vital for our mental health and general well-being, and we really wouldn’t know what to do without choir now,” Gen said.
“There is always a lot of laughter in rehears-
als, and the camaraderie is a beautiful thing to behold.
“We always welcome new members, no experience necessary, but we do request a sense of humour and a willingness to give anything (within reason) a go, even if it is a bit silly.“
Gen also runs Cafe Choir, which is a two-hour one-off singing workshop where she teaches a popular song in three or four-part harmony, accompanied by Steve Dennis on guitar.
Once the song is learnt, the whole group goes to a local venue like a cafe, bar, or public space,
and flash-mobs the people there.
The last Cafe Choir was attended by about 100 people in Cooran Hall, and the flash-mob was down the road at the Noosa Hinterland Brewery.
“Cafe Choir is so much fun! It is really for absolutely anyone who has a voice,“ she said.
Cooran Community Choir and Hinterland Harmonies will be performing at the Set4Life Celebration of Song concert at St Patrick’s Church on Sunday 4 May at 2pm.
Tickets are available from Humanitix or by messaging 0488 774 950.

Volunteer staff at Katie Rose op shop at Tewantin are getting ready for the charity store’s third annual fashion parade later this month and manager Tina Grigson says, “the generosity of Noosa people never fails to surprise me. It gladdens my heart.
“They constantly donate items like every day and designer label clothing, Royal Albert and Noritake crockery and antique watches right through to books and household items like plastic spoons and forks.”
She said the fashion parade would showcase the “the fabulous clothes we have available in our op shop, including some spectacular vintage pieces from designers like Yves St Laurent as well as everyday wear.”
All the money raised will go Katie Rose Cottage Hospice in Doonan which provides palliative care free of charge to the terminally ill.
“The staging of the event-- the venue, food, drinks, raffle prizes and staging-- has been given free of charge by our generous donors, including our volunteers who give their time to put on the event.”
Tina said the fashion parade was an important event on the Tewantin and Noosa community calendar. “It brings people together for a fun afternoon of fashion for a good cause.”
Date, Saturday May 17 at Tewantin State School. 1.30pm for 2pm start, bubbles on arrival, high tea and lucky door prize. Admission $35. Tickets available from the Katie Rose Tewantin Op Shop, 84 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin.

Queen of crime writers, Agatha Christie, has been a lifelong passion for actor, art historian and London Blue Badge tour guide Simon Whitehouse and later this month he will lead “armchair detectives” from ArtsNational Noosa as they follow a trail of clues left by the author all over London.
During her long and eventful life (she was 85 when she died) she became the most prolific detective novelist during the “Golden Age of Detective Fiction” (1920s and ‘30s), her books earning her the distinction of being the world’s best-selling author of all time.
She wrote 16 of 66 novels from one London address. It was at University College London that she further developed her knowledge of her preferred method of murder, poison.
The London links to her novels, including a hotel that inspired a Miss Marple novel and Ag-
atha’s perhaps lesser-known links to the Mesopotamian galleries at the British Museum, are put “under the magnifying glass” by the speaker. He also looks at Agatha’s personal and professional devotion to the theatre and her extraordinary play The Mousetrap: the longest running theatrical production in the world.
ArtsNational vice president Julie Gamble said, “Simon will weave a wonderful story. As well as being an art historian, he has also worked as a guide in-house at Shakespeare’s Globe, the Royal Opera House, the BBC and the National Gallery guiding both public and private tours.”
ArtsNational, St Mary’s Church, 17 William Street Tewantin, Saturday May 17, 3.45pm for 4.00pm start.
Visitors fee $30pp including wine and finger food after the presentation. Bookings essential please contact membership secretary Jenny Reeve on membershipnoosaadfas@gmail.com

The world’s best bodysurfers will descend on the Sunshine Coast for the World Bodysurfing Titles from 28 April to 7 May.
The decision for the Sunshine Coast to host the event was driven by the outstanding success of the Coolum Wedge Bodysurf Festival, now in its fifth consecutive year.
A total of 96 elite bodysurfers from 15 countries will compete across four days of thrilling competition, scheduled flexibly over the 10-day event to align with the best surf conditions.
Five secret locations have been nominated and as the festival unfolds, the event organisers make a call as to when and where the next day of competition will be held.
Leading into the world titles, the Coolum Wedge Bodysurfing festival was held from 25-27 April. This event is for all ages and abilities and is famous for its fun and camaraderie.
Event organisers Lynda Franklin and Darren Verrenkamp said the Australasian team includes a strong contingent of South East Queensland competitors including Olympic gold medal swimmer Susie O’Neill, Jack Lewis, fifth place finisher at last year’s World Bodysurfing Championships in Hawaii and the Captain of the Australian Team, The Aussie Ospreys and the youngest team competitor Pipi Cathcart, 15.
“Bodysurfing is a sport for everyone - many of us grew up doing it. Prepare to be wowed as you watch the world’s best in action and who knows, perhaps you’ll even reignite your own passion for this exhilarating pastime!” Lynda said.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said securing the titles was a fantastic coup for the region.
“We are thrilled to welcome the World Bodysurfing Titles to the Sunshine Coast, bringing together the best bodysurfers from 15 countries,” Mayor Natoli said.
“The titles will showcase the Sunshine Coast as a premier destination for international sporting events and help drive sustainable economic growth for our community,” she said. Lyla Crouch. (Supplied)
Horizon is just around the corner bringing with it over 50 free and ticketed events across more than 10 Sunshine Coast locations from May 2-11.
Sunshine Coast Council Strong Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said the Horizon festival was a beacon of creativity and community spirit for the Sunshine Coast.
“This Festival not only showcases the incredible artistic and creative talent within our region and beyond, it also brings people together to celebrate art, culture and innovation,” Cr Law said.
“With diverse events spread across multiple locations, Horizon offers something for everyone, making it a truly unmissable experience.
“It’s a festival that enriches our community and highlights the Sunshine Coast as a vibrant cultural destination.”
Horizon Creative director Megan Rowland said the festival was bookended by two enormous weekends, with plenty in between to inspire you whatever your taste and budget.
“The festival lights up Ocean Street, Maroochydore on Friday May 2 from 5pm with a free Opening Night Street Party - an irresistible first taste of Horizon 25,” Megan said.
“Get ready for a vibrant evening of art, performance and street culture that sets the tone for 10 unforgettable days and nights across the festival precinct and the Sunshine Coast.
“The precinct offers 10 nights of programming at Solbar with artists like C.W. Stoneking, Alex Hines, BARKAA and Full Flower Moon Band, fresh local tunes in the Lounge every afternoon plus a free immersive Urban Gallery to explore every day from 2pm.
“The Urban Gallery is a relaxing way to explore some stunning works from Sunshine Coast and internationally renowned artists in a surprisingly non-traditional setting – The Big Top Shopping Centre!
“You’ll find live mural painting with Alison Mooney‘s Daily Muse, an immersive journey through the backstreets of Tokyo with Tokyo Rain and a place to confess all your fashion sins with Confashional.
“Test your humanness in the AI revolution with the gameshow style Pigeon Fool and then make sure you stick around until 5pm when the stunning projection works Stasis by Kenneth Lambert and act as known by Vernon Ah Kee light up.”
On Sunday 4 May, you’ll get a chance to experience the epic spectacle that is Patricia Piccinini’s Skywhales Across Australia as they grace the skies above UniSC in Sippy Downs.

Wayne Aherne from Mooloolaba is no stranger to Noosa The Hill having raced his classic 1968 Mustang to the top many times.
First in class in 2022 and second in class in 2023 he is obviously very familiar with the 14 turns although scraping a concrete barrier in 2023 was obviously not part of the plan.
This year for the Winter Hill climb Wayne has entered a very different car, a faithful replica of the 1984 George Fury Nissan Bluebird.
George Fury drove the race-prepared Nissan Bluebird, not much in common with the road going version, to the fastest qualifying lap at the 1984 Bathurst 1000. This was the first time a Japanese car and a turbocharged car outpaced the fastest V8 touring cars and the lap time stood for many years.
Wayne has also competed in the very long Rockhampton Gold Rush Hill sprint and said “Noosa Hill climb is a fun and challenging course and a great racing community”.
The Hill 2025 Winter event is being held 13-15 June.

The Rococos Noosa Tigers have gone down to arch rivals Maroochydore by nine points in a classic Anzac Day weekend clash.
The physicality of both teams had to be admired by a huge crowd on a stunning day at Fisherman’s Rd. The Roos started better and were never headed the entire game however the young Tigers just never gave in. They continued to put their heads and bodies over the footy and infact had much of the play in the second half without taking the opportunities given to them. Both teams were physically depleted as rotations became non existent in what was just a goood standard highly entertaining game.
Noosa’s star onballer Mitch Conn was just next level. His first half solid his second half just exceptional as he willed his body and team
mates to every contest setting up so many opportunities and putting the Noosa side right in the game. Nathan Horbury also revelled in the physicality of the contest and his skill and experience calm in pressure situations was obvious.
Mav Pettigrove, one of the best ball users in the competition continued to get under Maroochy’s skin the entire day whilst youngster Ethan Slaney completely shut down power forward and ex-Noosa player Aaron Wilson.
This writer loved the game of Charlie Bowes on the wing and of Will McKenzie across half back whose calm and ball use particually in the second half was terrific. Recruits Gus Byrne and Hervey Bay boy Curtis Caines were players significant in Noosa great second half also. All in all just a fitting physical encounter between two arch rivals on Anzac weekend.
The Reserves were soundly beaten by the de-
Season ’25 officially kicked off at Dolphin Oval on Anzac Day, with all Junior and Senior grades competing on the day. It was a fitting and respectful acknowledgement of our Australian and New Zealand veterans. A moving tribute by Noosa President Chris Burton prior to A grade was followed by the Ode, the Last Post and the New Zealand and Australian National Anthems.
The day provided highlights throughout, with both fields hosting matches until all converged on Dolphin Oval for the A grade clash with Brothers. The Dolphin’s 3rd Grade took to the field after a 12 month hiatus boasting a true mix of the old and the new. Players representing Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, Gen AEIOU and even a couple of Baby Boomers took the field. A highlight was the appearance of Tom Harmer for his first game of senior rugby. Tom, the son of club stalwart, some would say legend, Krissy Harmer showed no sign of nerves. In fact, the young centre teamed up with club veteran Dlhite Forrest to put on one of the tries of the season. Player of the match to Forrest.
In another welcome return, the Noosa Ladies, the Phinettes, also returned to the competition. In a preview of what is to come under the coaching of Damien Ovadahill, the final score of 5-5 belied the attaching talent which is in the squad. It is understood that co-coach Laurence Epstein will introduce a new game plan next week, the pass, which should open the floodgates. Player of the match to Savannah Leroux.
In an entertaining affair, the Reggies match had it all. The final scoreline of 21-19 was a real indication of the effort by both teams. A free flowing first half morphed into a battle of attrition in the second with solid defense from both teams. Coach Kalfie Shaphill was happy with the effort from his troops. Player of the Match, Drew Narbey-Nimeti said.
The A grade clash was always going to be a humdinger, there had not been more than three points separating the two teams in their last five clashes. In the week leading in Coach Jim McKay had some tough decisions in the selection room, white or blue cones? Green
or yellow bibs? Whatever the decision in the end, it reaped dividends on the field. On more than one occasion the Dolphins A’s appeared set to issue the last rites only to have Brothers bounce back repeatedly. The recall of club legend Ben Walker at fullback was a masterstroke. Walker’s deft touches and positional play was on song, picking up from where he left off in 2014. Mind you he appeared a smidge swifter, tackled much more effectively and was strangely economical in his commentary. The final score of 26-18 was a fair indication of the encounter, with the tactic of using the boot of no.10 Joey Caputo to continually apply scoreboard pressure proving the difference. Player of the Match, the flying Julian “like a bird” Scott-Davies.
The Dolphins face traditional foe Maroochydore on Saturday with the Swans fresh off a victory over Caboolture. Women at 12.30pm, Reggies 1.50pm and A grade 3.30pm. Supporters are asked to dust off those passports and cross the bridge with the teams in what shapes as a bumper day of rugby.
fending premiers however the tiger colts remain unbeaten after a four goal victory including some very dubious umpiring decisions. Mure, Casper, Delaney Taylor, Dinnage and Mackay again among the best for the high flying colts.
The Senior men’s teams return home this week for three home games in a row with Brisbane heavyweights Aspley the first on the cards this Saturday.
Our Senior Women are away again after a gallant first round loss to Sandgate in Brisbane last Saturday. Skipper Kellie Barker was easily the pick of the Tigers as they travel to meet defending premiers Sherwood this Saturday from 4.45pm.

U13 Match Report
Noosa Dolphins U13’s faced reigning premiers Brothers, who showed up red hot as the home team suited up for the challenge. Led by captain Jack and joint vice captain’s Zac and Marcus, the Anzac Day clash started the season in good spirits. There were plenty of penalties and turnovers as the young hopefuls shook out the sillies for the first game of the season. An early try from Brothers was responded by the Dolphin’s five-eighth stealing the ball and taking an explosive break down the sideline to be clipped just short of the line: the crowd were on their feet. The Dolphins lifted to score in the corner seeing Brothers respond with a few quick run-away tries towards the end of the match, despite Noosa’s sliding defense. An inspiring game from the Dolphin’s captain who led from the front to clinch Dominoes Player of the Match. This freshly appointed team knows there is work to be done heading into the SC University game this week. Good luck to all the U13 Dolphins who have been training under newly appointed coach Jason Larsen. Noosa 10 Brothers 34.
U8s Anzac Day Clash
First season of tackle, first game of the season and first time with a referee. What a way to start for the Dolphins U8s with a convincing win over Brothers Blue at home. It was a full team effort with amazing passing, securing the ball at the breakdown and strong running. Alfie dotting down for the first try was awarded Dominoes Player of the Match for his powerful leg drives all game. Notable mentions to Hudson for great tackles and pulling opponents into touch. Owen, Gus and Jackson filled the front row duties with good communication in the lineout. Archer showed off his impressive kicking skills and Buster with his usual breakneck speed hung on the wing. Good job to Otis who wove his way through the defence with his running rugby. Hemi took the five eighth position in his stride, mobilising the team to ensure the ball was distributed. Most improved to Gus for textbook tackling. Whilst most of the team have played together for a few years, newcomers Hudson and Jackson are making their mark early, slotting in seamlessly: the team are stoked to have you.

The team of 11 emerging athletes transitioning from youth to elite boxing, performed exceptionally well, securing two gold and three silver medals. Considering that they are such a young group and fighting at an international level, their performance has been outstanding For Ciara and Team Impact next on the agenda they will contest the Central Queensland Titles in Rockhampton May 17. Regarding the trip to the USA, to take 11 fighters to compete against fighters from all over, and come home with 5 medals speaks volumes for Australia’s performance. For many years we have battled against the fact that we in Australia, situated in isolation, are hungry for top class competition: but now that seems to be on the upturn. Someware, somebody must be doing a lot of things right. In the last twelve months or so, we have shown that we have the coaches and the talent: we just need the opportunity. That illusive Olympic Gold medal for boxing seems to be getting closer and closer. Rugby League
Good to see the Pirates keeping up the Anzac Day tribute on our home ground. After a very rousing Anzac Day Tribute with Wayne “Whisky” Carter Life Member of Queensland RSL and Tewantin / Noosa RSL, serving for 23 years in the Royal Australian Air Force, reading the Ode of Remembrance and being joined by Billy Kippen and Marty Cocker Tewantin/Noosa RSL. the A grade Pirates were ready to bring it on - and play the game of the day against our visitors from Maroochydore.
With Big George Burgess making his home debut for Pirates it was definitely a tight game, but on the final whistle Pirates finished on top 20-14. This has kept Pirates top of the ladder with three wins and no losses. Pirates are heading into their next game after a week’s break to senior football, (due to Magic round,) with Stanley River the only other team not to have lost so far this season.
The afternoons football was started by the ladies Open Women’s vs Maroochydore. Maroochydore got out to a fast start- however the Noosa women stayed in the battle but unfortunately, on the final whistle they went down 30-26. Next on the paddock was Reserve grade against Maroochydore in what was a very scrappy game.
The Pirates were in it all the way but just could not close the opposition down. Thus, for the second time this season they finished with a drawn game 16 all. Add to this we have the results from the youth department that covers games from our U13 to U17. Against Maroochydore, U13s boys beaten 30-6 but U13 girls won 54-4: U14 boys sat out a bye. U15s boys lost to Stanley River 20-10, but the girls won against Beerwah 30-6. In the U17s, boys won 40-8 against Gympie but the girls went down 54-4 against Caboolture.
The importance of the U13 to U17 divisions cannot be emphasised enough as this is the breeding grounds of our future: coaches, players, families and supporters. So, to all involved well done and keep up the good work and great support Surf Life Saving. The birth of a surf club It is now some 60 years since I received a certain phone call and on answering I immediately recognised the voice. It was Jack McMaster, President of Queensland Surf Life Saving, As was his habit Jack came straight to the point.
“Laney, you’re a Gympie old boy born and bred- right?”
“Yes Jack”
“Good- got a job for you. We want you to represent us, State Centre, at a meeting in Gympie. You will be required to attend a meeting of Gympie people at the Town Hall. They want to know what they have got to do to get a surf life saving club formed in a local tourist resort called Rainbow Beach: just outside of Gympie
“They are getting very concerned because a local bus company have started running regular Sunday picnic trips to Rainbow, and there is no lifesavers club. It’s not just the bus tourists, but also the locals who are now on the increase at that beach. This makes them think it is now time for a surf club to be formed
“Your job will be to attend on our behalf and explain the necessary procedure. You will then conduct a question-and-answer session: end of this you will leave the room for the Gympie people to hold their final discussion. If it is positive, report back give us a couple of weeks, and we will be back in touch.”
Two weeks later I was informed of the following. A squad of six young local lads have volunteered to join, get their bronze and with the support of former Gympie Noosa old boys, will help to get a club up and running. For their basic training and bronze exam, they were sent to Noosa, and it became my job to supervise all aspects of their training. Being Gympie born and bred I happily accepted. On phoning Jack with my acceptance, I received a very strict warning. “Laney there is a kid
called Cooper in the squad, and he can swim like a fish-he is red hot. Keep your bloody hands off him. I know you blokes are trying to build up your swim team, but that’s your bad luck. He is going to get his bronze and go back to Rainbow. End of story.
Right?” “Yes Jack.”
All went well. The squad fitted in, obtained their bronze, returned to Gympie and the club was soon up and running. Like all new clubs they went through some rough times, but with further help from Noosa veterans such as Ian Young and
the late Henry Young (no relation) the club moved on to better times. And now they can proudly say that have have upheld our core business mottoNo lives lost between the flags while lifesavers on patrol.
Comes June 14, 2025 and for the Rainbow Beach SLSC there will be a gathering of the clan. Reason: to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the formation of the Rainbow Beach SLSC. Congratulations one and all for a job well done.
Halfway through the waiting period I’d just about given up on Bells, and if it didn’t improve beyond the dismal forecast, I wasn’t going to bother writing about it.
Well, hell’s Bells, the old girl not only delivered, she delivered a couple of the best performance days I’ve seen, either on the box or in person, since 1981. Of course, the best days rarely arrive for finals day at 3pm on a Sunday, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is the memory of when Huey shone his divine light on Bells Beach, and that was on Anzac Eve at Winki Pop and Anzac Day on the Bells Bowl.
Claimed by Swellnet’s dependably accurate Steve Shearer as “the best competition day of the year so far”, Thursday at Winki provided clean, long lines edging up to just overhead and began with the consistent Molly Picklum having a shocker against Luana Silva. Pickles opened with a typical flourish which almost went into the excellent range, then seemed to fall apart with bad judgement calls every set robbing her of a backup while LuLu cruised to the win and a quarter final berth.
It was a morning of surprises with the veteran Sally Fitzgibbons taking out ratings leader and reigning world champ Caity Simmers, Coolum’s Bella Nichols eliminating her rookie buddy and wunderkind Erin Brooks, and Hawaii’s BettyLou Sakura Johnson beating the out of form Caroline Marks.
In the men’s round of 32, Ethan Ewing looked like a bell-ringer all the way in a flawless victory over fellow Aussie Ryan Callinan, while wildcard Morgan Cibilic underlined his return to form by knocking out 2024 Bells champ Cole Houshmand and, in the nail biter of the day, Italy’s Leo Fioravanti took out Mexico’s Al Cleland Jr with a buzzer beater.
Anzac Day revealed a pumping swell at the Bells bowl and conditions which varied through the day from quirky to sublime. At times in the afternoon, with sunlight streaming from the edge of a leaden sky, it looked almost supernatural, like a Barrie Sutherland lineup shot I have on my wall. But the day began with local trials winner Xavier Huxtable smashing an out of sorts men’s ratings leader Italo Ferreira, and California’s Jake Marshall producing career-best surfing to eliminate Joao Chianca and Felipe Toledo to look dangerous in knocking out Aussie rookie George Pittar.
Into the round of 16, and Ethan Ewing did it again with a near perfect heat score to defeat a rampaging Connor O’Leary, while Morgan Cibilic continued his magic run to knock out Fioravanti.
The magic spell over Bells had to end, and on Saturday we had strong onshores, squalls and lumpy, bumpy sets. But there were sets, and more predicted. In the concluding heats of the round
of 16, Jake Marshall continued his dream run to dispatch Yago Dora and Jack Robinson ended Toledo’s with another classy performance.
In the women’s quarters the biggest surprise was Bella Nichols’ elimination of the form surfer of the tour this year, Gabby Bryan, while in the men’s, Kanoa Igarashi produced similar shock waves in taking out Ethan Ewing, the best surfer of the event to that point, but couldn’t find the rhythm.
Finals Sunday was bigger again and just as washy. It didn’t look like fun, but there were some diamonds in the rough if you could pick them. And after a slow start, Bella Nichols did, taking out Tyler Wright in the semis and Luana Silva in the final for her first and well-deserved bell.
The men got down to Cibilic falling to Igarashi and Jack Robbo taking out Griffin Colapinto in the semis, and Robbo’s cool, calm approach and wave smarts seeing him home against Kanoa in a rough, tough final.
As the tour moves to the Gold Coast next week, Jack Robbo sits comfortably in third place on the men’s rankings behind Italo and Ethan, while Bella has moved up to fourth in the women’s behind Molly. The remaining two events of the Oz season are going to be vital.
Tim Bain wins Ma and Pa
Meanwhile, on the Sunny Coast, Sunshine Beach shredder Tim Bain took home the big Easter egg at the 51st running of the Pa and Ma Bendall Memorial, held in lively conditions at its ancestral birthplace of Moffats.
For Tim, who turned 20 earlier in the year and has been a heavy hitter for Noosa Boardriders Club since his early teens, his $2000 win in the pro men’s open is the biggest win of his career, topping his victory at the 2022 Rip Curl GromSearch. He currently sits at #44 on the WSL Qualifying Series rankings, but watch this space.
Friday 2 May is the last day to save big on tickets with Early Bird Packages for the Rainbow Beach Annual Fishing Classic being held from Sunday 8 June to Saturday 14 June.
The Rainbow Beach Family Fishing Classic has been operating for nearly 40 years, bringing together community, business and visitors for an exciting week of fishing, family and fun.
“To give an idea how much people can potentially save, two adults with a youth (1015) and a junior (3-9), would pay $590 at full price,” marketing manager Bruce Devereaux said. “Purchasing individually using early bird pricing this drops to $435. But using our early bird family packaging the price for this family of four drops even further to $360, a very budget-friendly saving of $230. That’s a lot of bait!
The event runs for seven days offering many opportunities for anglers with five nights focusing on seniors, ladies, youth, juniors and teams to encourage more participation.
“In previous years, our community has put in more than 400 volunteered hours in preparations, during the event and post event,“ Bruce said.
“Ours is truly a family focused event, with both a youths and a juniors night shining a flare on each category with things like additional giveaways, and encouraging both the family togetherness aspect of this activity, and more generally the future of fishing.“
“From the 8th to the 14th June Rainbow Beach comes alive with the best bunch of fisherfolk you could hope to get amongst, with nightly entertainment and nearly half a million in giveaways and prizes.“
Registration day is Sunday 8 June from 1-4pm
Tickets are available either by contacting our team on 0754863191 or heading to our new Rainbow Beach Family Fishing Classic Website at www.rainbowbeachfamilyfishingclassic.com.au

IT’S like having a hinterland retreat with the benefits of town.
Damien Styring of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking a five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool, tennis court in Noosaville to auction this month.
The house, on 2625sq m at 4 Casuarina Ct, is set to go to the market on Saturday, 10 May, at 12pm.
“It is a home of incredible quality,’’ Damien said. “and comes complete with pool and floodlit tennis court with gazebo.
“As well as liveability it offers luxury with a relaxed feel to it. The outdoor living is incredible - pizza oven, built-in barbecue and a pub set up - overlook the swimming pool and the tennis court.’’
At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Merryweather comes with a pergola entry into English-inspired gardens. Inside is an edgy take on classic modern architecture with big splashes of Noosa panache.
From the entry foyer patterned oak flooring and a lofty ceiling with statement designer pendants extend into the designated dining area, where spaces extend to a double living area with a fireplace.
Both dining and living open ito the expansive easterly-facing travertine terraces.
Indoors becomes outdoors as expansive dining and living blur the lines to travertine terraces with giant potted olive trees gracing the pool.
A shingle-roofed pavilion is set beside the tennis court.
The custom kitchen comes with super white natural Brazilian stone-topped cabinetry including long island breakfast bar, coffee station with a sink, bespoke oak cabinet for the drinks, farmhouse sinks, solid brass tapware, and highend appliances.
As well as a butler’s pantry and laundry
room., there’s a galley-style outdoor kitchen with wood-fired pizza oven, five-burner barbecue, induction cooktop, under-counter glass-fronted fridge, icemaker, dishwasher and stone-topped island bench.
With five super-sized bedrooms, the main retreat has French doors to the pool, walk-in robe and ensuite with grey granite floor tiles, Zellige wall tiles, free-standing bathtub, stone-topped two-basin timber cabinetry, drencher shower and separate toilet.
Along the hallway with fluted timber-doored storage are three bedrooms. All have built-in robes plus access open to the western terrace and gardens.
They share a bathroom with bathtub and stone-topped two-basin cabinetry. The adjoining powder room has dramatic wallpaper, and cabinetry in cream and jade-hued bone.

lounge with French doors leading to the front garden and firepit area. Adjoining is a dedicated office with custom cabinetry, and there’s a mud room leading from the garage which also has custom cabinetry.
“Every room, every space indoors or out, embodies the ultimate commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and thoughtful design,’’ Damien said.
LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
You can change the house but you can’t change the position. That about sums up a four-bedroom riverfront house on 2798sq m in Tewantin.
Nathan Howie and Jack Newton of Noosa Estate Agents are taking the property at 22 Elkhorn Dve to auction Friday, 9 May, at 1pm.
On two titles and with Makepeace Island beyond the treed foreshore, the house was built in the early 1980s, Nathan said.
“It has been occupied by the same family since 1984.
“There is of potential in this propertyrenovate, refurbish, rebuild or hold for
the future.’’

In a top-floor position with green outlook and strong returns, a one-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car apartment is about as good as it gets with that configuration in Peppers Noosa Resort.
Chris Miller at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking two apartments in the resort to auction this month.
The first, at 7404/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, goes to the market Friday, 16 May, at 1pm.
“It’s a lovely spot,’’ Chris said, “Apartments of this calibre in such a stunning location are always in high demand.
“This top-floor apartment in the Sands building is second-to-none.’’
With Peppers being amongst the most substantial conferencing facilities at the top end of the Sunshine Coast, there has been a noticeable boost in returns on apartments.
Set into the hillside, defining the Noosa Heads landscape, the resort was designed by the renowned architect John Mainwaring.
The apartment features a spacious open-

plan living area which opens by means of bi-fold sliders, out to the terrace.
The neutral palette of finishes and colours brings the outdoors in, including the contemporary furniture upgrade and a sofa bed. There is a galley-style kitchen with premium appliances, while the bedroom suite comes with walk-in robe and an ensuite with stone-topped single basin cabinetry, shower and bathtub.
There are laundry facilities, also a powder room.
The second apartment in Peppers Noosa Resort that Chris Miller is taking to auction offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and one-car parking.
He presents 9401/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, to the market at 11am Saturday, 17 May.
Similarly, it is on the top floor with private, green, rainforest outlook.
“The apartment is very well-proportioned,’’ Chris said, “… comfortable.

main bedroom.
“A lot of people are looking for the extra bedroom for longer stays.
“We are seeing strong bookings by families and those using the conference facilities in Peppers.
“It has been hard to conduct open for inspections due to the heavy bookings.’’
Chris has had the pleasure of handling quite a few sales in Peppers through the years and has noticed with recent sales the majority have been to existing owners in the resort.
“They realise the benefits,’’ Chris said, “whether to invest or for family and lifestyle.’’
This apartment has seen an upgrade of the open-plan living area that includes a modular fabric sofa, timber dining table, accessories and artworks, all designed to mimic nature.

IF paradise is about exceptional eye-catching views, swaying palms, an idyllic year-round sub-tropical climate, swimming in safe azure waters, lolling on a sun lounge watching kids from the deck almost beside you building sandcastles, it is all here, literally on your doorstep. And there’s more.
How about being surrounded by innumerable natural assets, looking out to pleasure craft and tooting ferries as they ply the main stretch of the Noosa River, loading picnic gear into a hired BBQ pontoon boat from the resort’s own jetty, or if fishing is more your speed pull the tinnie onto the foreshore, tie it to the mooring ring on the boardwalk in front of the townhouse, whilst you pack the bait and tackle for a swell day out.
From the pathway to the front entrance of the townhouse, admire the resident’s only pool, gardens, and gazebo. Inside, coastal cool-hued floor tiles, a captivating contemporary fit-out, matching furnishings and the seamless flow from the generous natural light-saturated living spaces to north-facing outdoors, spell yearround holidays.
Whether sundowners, alfresco lunches or inviting friends for dinner, the L-shaped kitchen with island bench, stone-topped cabinetry, and sea-blue glass splashbacks, has every accoutrement you need, including the latest Miele appliances. Similarly, the laundry, which is next door to a powder room.
Timber-tread stairs with marine-ply balustrading, open out to carpeted bedrooms. Both have built-in robes and a chic ensuite/ bathroom with frameless showers and marble vanity splashbacks. The king master has a balcony with splendid views of the Noosa River meandering the Noosa Sound waterways, the twin bedroom has a verdant outlook, and a loft could be a teen’s ‘hideaway’.
“Life doesn’t get much better, especially when you consider the location,” effuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Eliza Coppin, who has slated the townhouse for auction on Saturday 17 May 2025. “Turn left at the
6-minutes away; and Noosa Main Beach is a 7-minute drive.
“With solid bookings year-round, this popular complex of nine townhouses is muchcoveted, also a sage investment opportunity.

AN affordable townhome near the Noosa River is a rare find, so why not seize the day, forget the fear of missing out, and hot foot it soon to find out more.
The palette of bright white and fresh blue, with sandy-coloured tiles and pops of neutral tones, suggests life could be one big holiday in this totally cool townhouse.
A terrace on the northside opens from the dining area, and off the open-plan living area on the southside, are French doors, which connect to a larger covered terrace, shaded by on one side by Golden Cane palms. What a perfect spot for a barbeque lunch.
Just beyond the pathway is the pool fence, tropical gardens, and a dazzling beach-style pool and inground spa, which naturally are heated in the cooler months.
The kitchen is totally kitted out with premium appliances plus all the necessities needed for holiday letting. The adjacent bathroom also doubles as a laundry.
Upstairs are two large bedrooms with built-in robes. The master looks over the pool and both share a bathroom with a tub and double vanity basins.
Located in the year-round popular Coco Bay Resort, a much-coveted hotspot on Weyba Road, it is only paces from the foreshore of the Noosa River. “There are dedicated cycle
and walkways along the dog-friendly gazebodotted foreshore,” remarks Tom Offermann
Real Estate agent Chris Miller, adding “it runs parallel to Gympie Terrace, and is a top spot for stand-up paddle boarders, kayakers, leisure boats and the Noosa Ferry. The Noosa Yacht & Rowing club is not far away, so too are some of Australia’s best cafes and restaurants.
“Act quickly as this will be a popular proposition for wise investors and sea-changers with an eye-to-buy in Noosaville.”

The bathrooms are designed as personal sanctuaries, featuring elegant fixtures and luxurious finishes and boasting flourishes of European charm.

The outdoor entertaining space allows plenty of room to chillout with family and friends. You will feel like you are world away from everyday life in this Mediterranean sanctuary.
Lastly a dedicated media room with an expansive day bed lounge is hidden on the top floor behind 100-year-old wooden shutter doors further adding to the appeal and comfort of this truly beautiful home that is etched with the unimpeachable credentials of Gmelli Design. This lakefront grandeur certainly steals the limelight; let it steal your heart.
