Sailing success Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club sailors have returned from one of Queensland’s major youth sailing events with strong results and valuable experience after tackling challenging conditions at Yeppoon. Thirteen NYRC sailors competed at the 2026 Zhik Youth Sail QLD at Keppel Bay Sailing Club from September 21-26, with the event combining three days of intensive coaching with three days of competitive racing. ILCA 4 sailor Leon-Wei was coached by Australian Olympian Mara Stransky before putting the lessons into practice against a strong Queensland fleet. Full story: Sport

Market loses heat By Steve Linnell Noosa’s red-hot property market is showing clear signs of cooling, with homes taking longer to sell, more properties sitting on the market and vendors increasingly having to negotiate on price. New figures from property data analyst Cotality show Noosa’s median house value has fallen 5.3 per cent from its record high in March, despite still being 1.4 per cent higher than a year ago at about $1.576 million. The figures also reveal a growing choice for buyers, with 580 homes currently listed for sale across Noosa Shire, an 11.3 per cent increase on this time last year. At the same time, new listings fell 9.5 per cent in September, suggesting properties are taking longer to be absorbed by the market. Cotality economist Annabelle Mezieres told
Noosa Today the changing conditions were giving buyers more influence, particularly at the more affordable end of the market. “Noosa properties are selling for less than their original asking price,” Ms Mezieres said, with the median vendor discount sitting at 5.2 per cent in the three months to September. While that discount is slightly narrower than the 5.9 per cent recorded a year earlier, the more recent trend is heading in the other direction – widening from 4 per cent in February to 5.2 per cent in September, she said. Ms Mezieres said the increase in advertised stock meant time on market and vendor discounting were likely to rise further. The median time to sell a Noosa dwelling was 45.5 days in the three months to September, only slightly above the 10-year average of 45.2 days but 3.5 days faster than a year earlier. Houses took a
median 47 days to sell, while units improved significantly, falling from 61 days to just 38. There is also evidence buyers are becoming more focused on value. Cooroy recorded 8.2 per cent annual growth in dwelling values, while Pomona’s house values rose 7.7 per cent. Growth was considerably weaker in Tewantin at 3 per cent, Noosaville at 0.9 per cent and Peregian Beach at 0.4 per cent, while Noosa Heads values slipped 0.5 per cent. “Noosaville and Tewantin are the busiest property markets in the Noosa region,” Ms Mezieres said, recording 285 and 237 dwelling sales respectively over the past year, followed by Noosa Heads with 231. Overall, Noosa recorded 1,608 home sales in the year to June, up 7.1 per cent on the previous
year, with house sales rising 6.4 per cent and unit sales 8.9 per cent. But despite the increase in transactions, the median value across all Noosa dwellings rose only 1.4 per cent over the year to about $1.502 million. Ms Mezieres said the broader market was favouring more affordable price points as buyers confronted affordability and serviceability pressures. That could prove significant for Noosa, where the gap between the premium coastal market and the more affordable hinterland suburbs remains substantial. For buyers, the message from the latest figures is increasingly clear: there is more choice, more time to consider a purchase and, potentially, more room to negotiate.

The front of 8 Lanyana Way. (Steve Linnell: 583081)

Big changes ahead PROPERTY PULSE With
STEVE LINNELL There’s something interesting happening in Noosa Junction – and the sale of 8 Lanyana Way could be the first piece of a much bigger property puzzle. The freestanding commercial property at 8 Lanyana Way, opposite Coles and the Noosa Fair shopping centre, has sold for $3.6 million, with the buyer a local owner-occupier planning to open a food-based business. But it’s what is happening next door that makes this deal particularly interesting. Numbers 8, 10 and 12 Lanyana Way are three separate titles but have been owned by the same owner and were offered to the market either individually or as a package. Now 8 Lanyana Way has changed hands, 10 Lanyana Way is under contract, and discussions are taking place about a refurbishment and longterm lease at 12 Lanyana Way. So, potentially, three adjoining properties that were once controlled by one owner are about to have three very different futures. And that could be significant for Noosa Junction. The three properties occupy a combined 1636sq m, with almost 59 metres of frontage to Lanyana Way, right in the heart of the Junction. The properties are zoned Major Centre, allowing a range of uses including retail, hospitality, medical, commercial and residential or mixed-use development. That doesn’t mean someone is about to bulldoze the block and build a tower – far from it. But it does underline the long-term development potential of a part of Noosa where land is tightly held and opportunities of this size don’t come along every day. The $3.6 million sale of No. 8 also provides another useful marker for anyone watching commercial property values in the Junction. And the arrival of a local owner-occupier with plans for a food business is perhaps the most interesting part of the deal in the short term. It suggests the Junction’s appeal isn’t just about property investors and developers. Local operators are still prepared to put serious money into secur-
19 Wyuna Drive (584259) ing a foothold in one of Noosa’s busiest commercial and lifestyle precincts. For property watchers, we’ll be keeping a close eye on what happens at 10 and 12 Lanyana Way. The properties are being sold by Ray White Commercial. Bring the boat Waterfront living takes on a whole new meaning at 19 Wyuna Drive, Noosaville, where a five-bedroom residence combines contemporary design, resortstyle entertaining and direct access to the waterways of exclusive Hideaway Island. Listed on 12 October by Tom Offermann Real Estate, the two-storey home sits on a 629sqm waterfront allotment with 20.3m of water frontage and a private jetty. Completed in 2019, the property was designed by Greg Gibbs and built by Michael Powell, with an emphasis on glass, natural light and a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. The outdoor entertaining area is a major attraction, with a 5m by 9.5m terrace, wet-edge swimming pool, water feature and separate spa. A line of melaleuca trees provides shade and privacy, while the jetty offers an easy launch point for a kayak or paddleboard - or a place to moor the boat before heading out for a day on the Noosa River or beyond. Inside, expansive living and dining areas feature high ceilings, statement pendant lighting and disappearing glass doors that open onto the terrace. Multiple living zones provide room for entertaining, relaxing or retreating to a quieter corner. All five bedrooms are king-sized and have marble ensuites, including two substantial main suites, one on each level. Both feature freestanding baths overlooking the pool and waterway, walk-in wardrobes and access to the west-facing terrace. A double garage, ducted airconditioning, security and a fully equipped laundry round out the practical inclusions.
The location adds another dimension, with Quamby Place’s cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance and Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and Noosa National Park just minutes away. The property is being offered fully furnished and has current Noosa Council short-term accommodation approval, with the marketing campaign estimating potential gross income of $200,000. Agents Nic Hunter and Jesse Stowers are pitching it as a lifestyle property with investment appeal, where boating, entertaining and the Noosa good life come together. Big money The folk at Tom Offermann Real Estate have been busy at the high end of the Noosa property market, with two eye-catching sales recorded on the same day. First came the headline-grabber – 32-34 Noosa Parade, Noosa Heads, which changed hands for a reported $40 million on August 19. That is serious money even by Noosa standards and puts the property firmly into the trophy-home category. But it wasn’t the only big deal on the books. On the same day, 31 Witta Circle, Noosa Heads, sold for $19.2 million, giving Tom Offermann’s team another eight-figure transaction to celebrate. The Witta Circle property was listed as a fivebedroom, six-bathroom, two-car house, while the Noosa Parade sale was recorded as a three-bedroom house. The figures provide another snapshot of just how much money continues to circulate at the premium end of the Noosa market. Put the two sales together and you’re looking at $59.2 million worth of Noosa real estate changing hands in a single day. That’s a sizeable chunk of property activity – and a reminder that the top end of the market operates in a very different league from the broader residential market.

Boat ramp upgrade designs released By Steve Linnell Two designs for a new boat ramp at Tewantin have been released for community consultation, with traffic access, parking and safety among the key issues residents and boaters are being asked to consider. The Queensland Government is seeking feedback on plans to upgrade the informal Doonella boat ramp on Hilton Esplanade, with the preferred location identified as part of efforts to improve boating access on the Noosa River. The proposed upgrade includes a two-lane, all-tide boat ramp, floating walkway and pontoon, 21 boat trailer parking bays, six car parking spaces, an accessible parking bay and a dedicated rigging area. Both concept designs include these facilities, with the main difference being how vehicles access the site and move along Hilton Esplanade. Maritime Safety Queensland is inviting resi-
Option 1 (583915) dents, local and visiting boaters and other river users to compare the options and provide feedback before a preferred design is finalised. The consultation comes as authorities plan for current and future recreational boating demand on the Noosa River. State Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton said
the release of the designs followed years of advocacy for improvements to the boat ramp. She encouraged residents, boaters and people who use the surrounding roads and river area to examine both options and have their say. Feedback is being sought on preferred designs, traffic movements, parking and facility functionality, safety, accessibility and other local opportunities or concerns. Responses will be considered alongside technical requirements, environmental considerations and other planning requirements before a preferred concept design is selected. Community consultation closes on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Residents can review the two concept designs and submit feedback through the Maritime Safety Queensland consultation website at https://www.yoursay-projects.tmr.qld.gov.au/ hilton

Backpacker changes to hit Noosa By Steve Linnell Proposed changes to Australia’s Working Holiday Maker program could cost Noosa thousands of backpackers and put more than $30 million in local visitor spending at risk, according to the Australian Tourism Industry Council. Tourism Research Australia figures cited by the industry body show 17,440 Working Holiday Makers visited Noosa Shire in 2025-26, spending more than $30 million in the local economy. Noosa has long been a popular destination for international backpackers, with accommodation providers including Halse Lodge, Flashpackers, Bounce and Nomads catering to the market. Backpackers also form an important part of the seasonal workforce across tourism, hospitality and agriculture. The Federal Government has announced plans to change access to second and third-year Working Holiday Maker visas, with places allocated through a ballot. Under the proposed system, completing the required regional work would no longer guarantee a further visa. Australian Tourism Industry Council chief executive Erin McLeod said the change could have a major impact on regional communities, with

employers nationally expecting to lose at least 68 per cent of their backpacker workforce. She said backpackers were particularly important to Noosa during peak tourism and agricultural periods. “Backpackers stay longer, travel wider and spend more than any other visitors,” Ms McLeod said. “They are critical to Noosa because they turn up in the peak agricultural and tourism seasons to take on temporary work.” Ms McLeod said the existing system provided a strong incentive for backpackers to undertake regional work, with 88 days of specified work cur-
rently required to qualify for a second-year visa. Under the proposed ballot system, she said backpackers could be reluctant to travel to regional areas to complete the work if there was no guarantee of receiving another year in Australia. “We are hearing from local employers who hire backpackers that if the work only earns a place in a ballot, with no guarantee of a visa, backpackers simply won’t come and do the 88 regional days,” she said. ATIC says the proposed changes could put an estimated $1.6 billion in visitor spending at risk nationally and is circulating a petition opposing
Crowds pack local Marina markets By Steve Linnell Noosa Marina was packed on Saturday night as locals turned out in force for the launch of the new Noosa Twilight Markets. The first Saturday-night market, held from 4pm to 8pm, created a huge buzz around the waterfront precinct, with retailers, restaurants, cafes and food vendors reporting a busy night of trade. Noosa Marina general manager Warren Smith said the response from locals had exceeded expectations. “The Noosa Twilight Markets on Saturday night past were an outstanding success,” Mr Smith said. “The locals really got behind the event and turned up in their droves. There was great excitement and an excellent vibe throughout the Marina precinct. “The food venues were overwhelmed with the turnout.” The Noosa River ferry was also packed on its trips to the Marina, with an additional late service put on for people returning towards Hastings Street. Mr Smith said retailers across the precinct benefited from the crowds, with the Marina Bar among the businesses experiencing a particularly

The launch came as the Marina also established its new Sunday morning market, with the first event attracting strong crowds and positive feedback from businesses.
Mr Smith said some retailers had reported their busiest day of trade in two years following the inaugural Sunday market. Mr Smith said the combination of the twilight and Sunday markets provided another reason for locals to visit the riverfront precinct. “Both the Noosa Marina Twilight and Sunday markets are a great place for a casual catch up with friends and enjoy the wide variety of food offerings from either the food vans or the many restaurants and cafes within Noosa Marina,” he said. The Noosa Twilight Markets will be held from 4pm to 8pm on the first Saturday of each month at Noosa Marina.
the changes, which it says has attracted more than 15,000 electronic signatures. A Tourism Noosa spokesperson told Noosa Today: “Many tourism and hospitality businesses are already doing it tough, with rising costs and ongoing workforce shortages.” “Working Holiday Makers are an important part of Noosa’s tourism workforce, and any changes that reduce access to these workers will add further pressure on businesses that are already struggling to find and retain staff.” The petition is here: https://c.org/BZmdSgzym4

The long road to Europe By Steve Linnell When 67-year-old Noosa businessman James Hay set off from Australia with his wife Elena on a 15-month motorcycle journey to Europe, they knew there would be plenty of adventure along the way. They probably didn’t expect quite so much of it to involve ferries, ferry delays, questionable roads – and Google Maps sending them places they really didn’t want to go. James, co-owner of Ezi-Batten, and Elena are now well into their epic journey, having ridden thousands of kilometres through Australia, Timor-Leste and Indonesia since Noosa Today last caught up with them in June. And the adventure is living up to expectations. The first leg was almost deceptively easy. The couple rode 3800km to Darwin on long, straight roads, enjoying good riding conditions and spectacular scenery after plenty of rain had transformed the landscape. Then the motorcycles were loaded onto a container ship bound for Dili. Although Timor-Leste looks tantalisingly close to northern Australia, the sea journey took a month. The couple spent 10 days exploring Timor-Leste, where the riding became considerably more challenging. The roads were, in James’ words, “variable to say the least”. Elena had a minor accident involving a scooter, while James had his own close call on a terrible road descending from Balibo – the town forever associated with the five Australian-based journalists killed there in 1975. From Timor-Leste came another first – an Indonesian ferry. The 20-hour voyage to Flores provided an introduction to a completely different style of travel. “You have to experience Indonesian ferries to appreciate just how bad they are,” James said. The couple decided to spend one million Indonesian rupiah – about $A75 – to use the captain’s cabin.

James Hay and Elena (Supplied) 582927 06 It turned out to be money very well spent. “It was well worth it to avoid the chaos and noise outside.” Flores, however, was a revelation. The couple found beautiful, largely empty roads winding through spectacular scenery and were impressed by how quickly roads had been repaired following an earthquake. “We loved Flores!” Another ferry followed, this time involving a seven-hour crossing and a 12-hour delay in the heat at the terminal. The couple eventually reached Sumbawa at 2.30am. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the journey. “Sumbawa was the big surprise of the trip so far,” James said. The roads were good, but it was the unexpected experiences that made the island memorable. The couple swam with whale sharks and attended a traditional buffalo race, where they were the only Westerners among the crowd. For James and Elena, it demonstrated one of the great advantages of travelling by motorcycle. “It’s the beauty of travelling by bike. You discover new places all the time.” From Sumbawa they crossed to Lombok, where traffic and road conditions proved less welcoming to riders on large motorcycles.
Then came yet another ferry – this time to Bali. There was a distinctly Australian interlude when they stayed with friends and watched the AFL Grand Final in a pub packed with Australians. “For a while it was like being back home in Noosa,” James said. The couple then spent two weeks exploring Bali. The traffic in the south lived up to its reputation, but conditions improved as they headed north, with better roads and some spectacular riding. Now they have only a few days left in Bali before loading the motorcycles onto another ferry, this time bound for Java. It is another chapter in a journey that began in Noosa and is ultimately taking the couple to Europe. So far, it has involved thousands of kilometres of riding, international borders, container ships, ferries, earthquakes, whale sharks, buffalo racing and some distinctly challenging roads. And there has been one constant source of frustration. “Google Maps is not our best friend,” James said. The navigation app has directed them down some seriously challenging roads, providing more than a few moments when the couple have

(Supplied) 582927 03 wondered exactly where they were being taken. But perhaps that is the point of an adventure like this. James and Elena could have taken the easy route. Instead, they are taking the long way to Europe – one ferry, mountain road and unexpected detour at a time.
Taste the Biosphere at free family event next month By Steve Linnell Sunshine Coast produce, local makers, wildlife and the region’s natural environment will take centre stage at a free family celebration in Woombye next month, with Noosa residents and visitors among those invited to explore what it means to live in the wider Sunshine Coast Biosphere. Taste the Biosphere will be held at Sunshine & Sons on Saturday, November 7, from 2pm to 7pm, offering visitors the chance to sample local food and drinks, meet producers and makers and take part in activities celebrating the region’s unique natural and cultural environment. For people from Noosa, the event provides an opportunity to look beyond the shire’s own borders and discover the broader regional connections between food production, tourism, wildlife and conservation. The event will feature local food tastings, family activities and crafts, guided walks on Country, wildlife experiences, biosphere soundscapes and stories, and a falconry show. Places for some ac-
Sunshine & Sons Distillery (Supplied) 583203 01 Cultural tour with Lyndon Davis (Supplied) 583203 02 tivities are limited and bookings are required. Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli, who chairs the Sunshine Coast Biosphere Coordinating Committee, said the event was about bringing people together to discover the region and the people behind its food and environment. “People are at the heart of our Sunshine Coast Biosphere and this is a chance for our community to come together, meet the growers and makers behind our region’s flavours, and celebrate this
beautiful place we call home,” Mayor Natoli said. The Biosphere designation is particularly relevant to Noosa, where the relationship between the natural environment, tourism, agriculture and local communities is central to the region’s identity and economy. The Sunshine Coast Biosphere was designated in June 2022 and is part of UNESCO’s World Network of Biosphere Reserves. The Biosphere encompasses natural areas and wildlife as well as the people, community groups and businesses that contribute to a sustainable region. For Noosa residents, that includes the broader hinterland and coastal environment that
links communities across the Sunshine Coast. Mayor Natoli said everyday choices could contribute to the region’s future. “Every decision we make matters: the things we buy, the neighbours we support, the places we care for – and every one of those choices helps create a better future for our children and their children too,” she said. “Bring the family and come for the fun – and leave with some new inspiration about what you can do in your own backyard.” Taste the Biosphere is presented by Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast and Sunshine & Sons. General entry is free, but registration is required for tastings, tours, workshops and other activities. Bookings can be made through Humanitix, with places limited for some experiences. Parking is available at the venue, while public transport users can use Translink’s Journey Planner, with fares currently available for 50 cents.

Blue umbrella wins hearts By Steve Linnell 566596_01
Police road blitz By Steve Linnell More than 2200 traffic offences were detected across the Queensland North Coast during the spring school holiday road safety blitz, including 185 drink drivers, 83 drug drivers and more than 1300 speeding offences. The figures, which include Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, were recorded during Operation Spring Break from September 19 to October 5. Police across the North Coast Region issued 2273 traffic infringement notices, including 1319 for speeding. The operation was part of a statewide crackdown targeting dangerous driving during the school holidays, with police maintaining a highly visible presence on major highways, local roads and popular beach areas. Across Queensland, officers issued more than 13,400 traffic infringement notices, including more than 6800 for speeding, 70 for mobile phone use and 100 for failing to wear a seatbelt correctly. Police conducted more than 118,000 random breath tests and 1733 roadside drug tests statewide, detecting more than 370 drug-impaired drivers. The North Coast figures show the scale of the problem closer to home, with 185 motorists detected driving under the influence of alcohol and another 83 testing positive to drugs. The figures come as Queensland children re-
turn to school, with police warning motorists to take extra care around school zones and watch for vulnerable road users. Acting Assistant Commissioner Timothy Partrige said police continued to intercept motorists making dangerous choices despite the road safety campaign. “Whether it’s choosing to speed or drive dangerously, drink or drug drive, drive tired or commit other traffic offences – these decisions all can have tragic consequences,” he said. The statewide operation included a number of serious speeding and drink-driving offences. In one incident, police allegedly detected a 19-year-old Flagstone man travelling at 179km/h in an 80km/h zone on the Mount Lindesay Highway. He was charged with exceeding the speed limit by more than 40km/h and driving with an expired licence, and issued with two traffic infringement notices totalling $2250 and eight demerit points. In another incident, a 41-year-old Camira man allegedly returned a 0.254 BAC, more than five times the general alcohol limit, after being stopped at a roadside breath-testing operation. His licence was immediately suspended and he was issued with a notice to appear. The State Government said the statewide operation demonstrated its commitment to reducing road trauma, with 234 people having lost their lives on Queensland roads this year, including 17
during the spring school holiday period. Minister for Police and Emergency Services Dan Purdie said the operation showed dangerous driving would not be ignored. “This statewide operation shows Queenslanders that dangerous driving will not be ignored with our police out there, enforcing the road rules and holding people accountable.” The State Government said it had delivered more than 2100 new police officers since the election as part of its efforts to increase frontline enforcement. Acting Assistant Commissioner Partrige said police would continue targeting dangerous driving beyond Operation Spring Break. “No matter where you are, you should expect police anywhere, anytime,” he said. “When you’re holding onto that steering wheel, or those handlebars, you’re putting your own life, and the lives of other motorists around you, in your hands.” With school back, police have urged motorists to slow down, remain alert and take particular care around school zones. “There is no excuse for speeding or driving dangerously – especially around school zones,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Partrige said. Operation Spring Break was due to continue until October 10, before ongoing road safety enforcement continues under Operation Interpose across Queensland.
A humble blue beach umbrella has proved a big hit with art lovers, winning the People’s Choice Award at Pomona Railway Station Gallery’s inaugural Local Emerging Artist Prize. Marcus Beach artist Kathy Gallagher’s impressionistic pastel, The Blue Umbrella, captured the votes of hundreds of visitors to the exhibition, held as part of the gallery’s 25th anniversary celebrations. Gallagher, a retired doctor who has always wanted to paint, was thrilled with the result. She has concentrated on pastels for the past seven years and took up art full-time after retiring two years ago. Living at Marcus Beach, Gallagher draws much of her inspiration from the coastline, beachgoers and the changing light sparkling across the water. Her winning work captures a summer beach scene through an impressionistic style, with the blue umbrella providing the focal point. Gallagher received a $500 prize presented by Sebastiaan van Heuckelum, the new branch manager of Bendigo Bank Cooroy, along with a $300 art supplies voucher from Tewantin Newsagency – Office Choice owner Sophy Yena. She was one of three major prize winners in the inaugural competition. Overall winner Mary Zouglakis was recognised for Coffee Times Reflections, while Lisa Mitchell received the Encouragement Award for Still Seeing/Reflect. Gallery president Ron Collins said the volunteer-run gallery had been overwhelmed by the response to the new competition. He thanked the participating artists, local businesses and members of the public who supported the initiative. The Pomona Railway Station Gallery, at 10 Station Street, Pomona, is open from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.

Residents urged to prepare By Steve Linnell Noosa residents are being urged to prepare now for a summer that could bring heatwaves, bushfires, severe storms and flash flooding. Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie has warned households not to wait until an emergency is approaching before making preparations, with the annual Get Ready Week campaign highlighting the importance of knowing local risks and having a plan. “Preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow,” Mayor Wilkie said. “Knowing whether your home is at risk of flooding, having a plan for your family and ensuring essential items are ready to go can help you act quickly and confidently when conditions change. “We’re encouraging every household to take three simple steps: know your risk, make an emergency plan and pack an emergency kit.” Mayor Wilkie joined Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli, emergency services, volunteers and disaster management partners to launch Queensland’s annual Get Ready Week campaign. The campaign comes as the Bureau of Meteorology forecasts higher temperatures this summer, with an increased risk of heatwaves and bushfires. Below-average rainfall and soil moisture in recent weeks have also increased the fire risk, while strengthening El Niño conditions are expected to bring the potential for severe storms and periods of intense rainfall capable of causing flash flooding. Residents are being urged to understand the hazards affecting their property and make sure they can respond quickly if conditions deteriorate. The three key preparation steps are to understand your risk, prepare a household emergency plan and pack an emergency kit. Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said preparation at an individual and household level was critical to building community resilience. “Living on the Sunshine Coast, we enjoy an incredible lifestyle, but we also know our region is no stranger to severe weather and natural hazards,” Mayor Natoli said. “Whether it’s storms, flooding, bushfires, cyclones or heatwaves, these events can happen quickly and have a significant impact on our homes, businesses and daily lives.” She said cooperation between councils, emergency services, volunteers and government agencies was also important. “Disasters don’t recognise council boundaries, which is why Sunshine Coast and Noosa councils work closely together alongside emergency services, volunteers and government
Mayors Frank Wilkie and Rosanna Natoli.

The message from emergency authorities is simple: don’t wait for a warning to start preparing. Knowing your risk, having a household plan and putting together an emergency kit can help Noosa families, businesses and communities respond when severe weather strikes.

New airport precinct opens By Steve Linnell Noosa residents flying to and from Sydney and Melbourne will be among those to benefit from the latest stage of the Sunshine Coast Airport transformation, with a new arrivals precinct and baggage claim now open. The new facility provides a significantly larger and more modern space for passengers arriving at the airport, which is used by thousands of Noosa residents and visitors travelling to and from the region each week. Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Chris Mills said the new arrivals and baggage claim area was almost three times the size of the former facility. “The new arrivals precinct and baggage claim is another significant milestone in the transformation of Sunshine Coast Airport,” Mr Mills said. “Passengers arriving on the Sunshine Coast will now collect their bags in a modern, purpose-built space almost three times the size of our former arrivals and baggage claim area.” The new facility includes a 92-metre baggage carousel, almost double the size of the previous carousel, as well as upgraded bathroom facilities, additional seating and a new water-cooling system for the terminal. Mr Mills said the longer carousel would allow more passengers to collect their luggage comfortably while more bags could be delivered at the same time. Around 20,000 passengers arrive at Sunshine Coast Airport each week. For Noosa travellers, the airport’s growing capacity is particularly significant, with Sydney and Melbourne accounting for 88 per cent of all airline seats to and from the airport.

There are around 240 flights a week during the holiday period, providing an important air link for Noosa residents travelling south for work, holidays and family commitments, as well as visitors flying directly to the region. The airport welcomed about 1.8 million passengers in the 2025-26 financial year and is forecast to handle 2.4 million passengers annually by 2030. The latest works are part of a major terminal transformation due for completion in 2027. The terminal footprint will almost double from 6100sq m to 11,750sq m, while the domestic departure lounge will increase threefold from 1250sq m to 3750sq m. The number of departure gates will increase from five to seven, while 18 self-service check-in kiosks and 10 automatic bag drops will also be
introduced. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the airport was increasingly important to the region’s economy and its growing population. “The transformation of Sunshine Coast Airport is helping to create a facility that reflects the growth and ambition of our region,” she said. “It shows we are truly maturing as a destination.” More than 2300 people have contributed to the latest project, with most trades and subcontractors coming from the Sunshine Coast region. McNab CEO Kunjan Ganatra said completing the work while the airport remained operational had required careful planning and coordination. The airport’s full terminal expansion is expected to be completed in 2027.
The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew yesterday airlifted a man to hospital after a trail bike crash in the Noosa region. The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 9:50am by Retrieval Services Queensland to the scene inland from Teewah Beach. Due to the location of the crash and the thick canopy of the forest, the critical care LifeFlight doctor, Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic and rescue crew officer (RCO) were winched down to the patient, who was treated for broken limbs and a head injury. It’s believed the rider lost control of his bike and crashed into a tree. He had been riding with one other person who contacted emergency services. The man, in his 50s, was winched into the helicopter and flown to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition for further treatment.

Caloundra couple digest $126k Keno win A Caloundra couple was left with plenty on their plate after a casual dinner dished up a mouth-watering $126,000 Keno win, leaving dinner well and truly untouched. The Sunshine Coast residents held a Keno Mega Millions 8 Spot prize in draw 355, drawn Friday 2 October 2026 and can look forward to a total prize of $126,143.40. “The young barman said, ‘Oh my God, look at what someone has won at the venue!’,” the winning wife shared when an official from Keno confirmed the win. “He was so excited. He came over to us and asked, ‘Can I be the one who checks your ticket?’. “I thought I had seven numbers, but then I looked again and saw eight numbers! I couldn’t believe it.
“I’ve never won anything. It’s so exciting and so surreal. “It honestly feels like a sliding-doors moment, as we nearly skipped the outing altogether. “Our friends had invited us to go elsewhere but we already had a booking at The Waves Club, so we still decided to go. “When my husband and I realised how much we’d won, we just looked at each other in shock. We texted our friends and ordered dinner, but neither of us could finish it!” When asked how they planned to use their windfall, the Queenslanders said it would help them to get into the property market. “This win means more to us than I can say. We’re still trying to take it all in! We’re hoping it can be used a house deposit,” she exclaimed.
Her winning entry was purchased at The Waves Club, Cnr Bingera Terrace & Arthur Street, Caloundra. In FY26, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 77.6 million wins collectively worth more than $1.2 billion. During this time, Keno crowned 24 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $54.3 million. Ten of these major winners were Queenslanders, including a Gladstone boilermaker who scored an $8.8 million Keno Mega Millions 10 Spot jackpot – the second-biggest Keno win in Australian history. Queenslanders enjoyed more than 28 million Keno wins totalling more than $499.3 million at pubs and clubs across the state in FY26.

Amazing nature photos Australia Zoo’s Crikey! Magazine Photography Competition attracted a record 17,400 entries in its 10th year, with photographers capturing wildlife and natural wonders from around the world. The milestone competition attracted 27.3 per cent more entries than the previous year, with images spanning everything from a polar bear on Canada’s Hudson Bay shoreline to wallabies playing on a Queensland beach. Wildlife conservationist and photographer Robert Irwin said the standard of entries had made it the competition’s most successful year yet. “We’ve had our most successful year yet for the Crikey! Magazine Photography Competition, with a phenomenal calibre of entries, and we’ve been thrilled to see so many photographers share their unique stories with us,” Robert said. He said the competition brought together a global community united by a love of wildlife and photography. “Every image has the potential to spark curiosity, build a deeper connection with the natural world, and inspire people to value and protect the wildlife we share our planet with,” he said. This year’s competition introduced a new Australia category, supported by Tourism Australia, celebrating the nation’s wildlife, landscapes and natural attractions. Michael Eastwell won the inaugural category with an image of two wallabies playing on the beach at Cape Hillsborough as sunlight broke through the clouds. He captured the moment on his third consecutive sunrise at the location. Young photographers also featured prominently among the winners. The competition’s categories also included Crikey! Magazine Cover, Australia, The Natural World and three age groups for young photographers. The winning images were selected by a panel of photographers, conservationists and naturalists, including Robert Irwin, Kate Berry, Russell Shakespeare, Day Scott, Harman Singh

Work on the Doonella Bridge upgrade has reached another significant milestone, with all retaining walls now completed. The completion of these works allows backfilling of the excavated road to start. Acting Major Projects and Transport Manager Kyrone Dodd said the project remains on schedule. “Additional nightwork over the past six weeks has helped progress the project as it moves into the complex stage of relocating the sewer rising main and reconstructing the Telstra pit,” he said. “This next phase presents some challenges, but we’re hopeful it will progress smoothly,” he said. “The contractor and our project team have been very productive and it’s pleasing to see the project continue to move forward,” Mr Dodd said. Another key component of the bridge upgrade has started. The electrochemical chloride extraction process will be commissioned later this week to remove chloride ions (rust-causing salt) from the contaminated reinforced concrete. The rehabilitation technique uses a temporary electrical current to draw out the rust-causing salt from the concrete, helping to extend the lifespan of the bridge structure by returning the steel reinforcement to a non-corroding condition. The 20 pile encasements beneath the bridge have been installed.

Foraging for the fungi Patrick Leonard first became interested in fungi when he accompanied his father on a horsedrawn cart to collect Agaricus pampeanus on a ranch in Santa Fe, Argentina in the late 1940s. Thirty kilos were collected, a few were eaten for breakfast next day and the rest were dried in the sun. The experience sparked a lifelong interest in fungi and wild food. Patrick is a graduate of the Universities of London & Oxford. He spent most of his working life in the United Kingdom as a public servant working on environmental policies. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire for his voluntary work on the South Downs National Park campaign. In 2006 Patrick retired to Queensland. He became vice president of the Queensland Mycological Society and has published two books and several papers on Queensland fungi. Come along to the forum on October 23rd to the Friday Forum where Patrick will relate the joys and challenges of trying to put names to Queensland’s very diverse fungi and the importance of fungi to the environment.

Maroochydore mates ecstatic to win $7.6 million Two best mates from Maroochydore have turned an ordinary Saturday night at their local into an unforgettable one after scoring an incredible $7.6 million in Keno, before shouting everyone at the bar a celebratory drink. The Sunshine Coast residents scored the Keno Mega Millions 10 Spot jackpot in Keno draw 498, drawn Saturday 10 October 2026. They look forward to sharing a $7,642,776.30 prize. It’s one of the biggest individual Keno prizes in Australian history. The pair were enjoying a night out at Club Maroochy in Maroochydore when their longplayed numbers delivered the multi-million-dollar surprise. “We’re very excited! It was Saturday night and we were the only ones playing Keno,” one of the winning mates relayed. “My friend said to me, ‘Do we change our numbers?’. We had five on the top half and five on the bottom half of the ticket. “I said, ‘No, I like these numbers. Let’s just go with them’. Thank goodness we did! “The next thing we knew, we saw Club Maroochy had a Keno Mega Millions 10 Spot win. It came up on the club TV. “I leaned over and whispered in my friend’s ear, ‘Don’t get too excited, but I think we might’ve won the Keno 10 Spot!’. “He pulled out the ticket and started cross-checking the numbers online. We then asked the venue to call the Keno customer service team to make sure we had definitely won. “Once it was confirmed, we put money on

“Initially, I was keen to buy a unit but now that this has happened, I think I’ll buy a house! I’m also keen to gift my partner and children some of the prize for Christmas,” he revealed. “My friend has decided to put some into a long-term deposit for a couple of months.” Their winning entry was purchased at Club Maroochy, 15 Memorial Avenue Maroochydore. Club Maroochy general manager Patrick Magrin said it was incredible to have sold a Keno Mega Millions 10 Spot jackpot winning ticket. “It was awesome! Honestly, awesome is probably an understatement!” he exclaimed. “The whole atmosphere in the club changed when the win went off; the vibe in the air! Everyone was so excited. The two guys shouted everyone in the club drinks as well! “On behalf of everyone at Club Maroochy, congratulations on your amazing win!

Future decision makers THE BOLTON REPORT NOOSA MP SANDY BOLTON Our youth are our future decision makers, leaders, parents, company directors - our future everything. And that future is already here as they will be all of those within this decade! Hence the importance of spending time with them, listening, learning and sharing. Fortunately, I had that in spades this month, and for the sitting this week my Matters of Public Importance (MPI) speech was inspired by all of them and what our parliament could look like, versus what it has become. Nick, who during his school holidays comes to us for work experience, cast his young ‘lens’ over much we are working on, including that ‘monster’, the annual survey! Such an impressive young man, and anyone at the Tewantin Anzac Day parade would have heard his speech which was better than any I could ever write or deliver! Evie-Lee, Aliza and Zarah who shone this year as Noosa rural ambassadors, are eager to see a Noosa Youth Advisory Group formed, to feed into all levels of government without an attachment to ideology, ‘winning’ or ‘spinning’. Then, 93 youth parliamentarians that held me spellbound whilst I sat in the Speaker’s Chair. The topics they chose themselves to debate spoke volumes, and during my session featured the restoration of an Upper House due to the failings they see in our unicameral system, an advanced manufacturing bill on why we need Queensland and Australian made, and Private Members Statements that touched on the heart on what they see needs to be remedied. Homelessness, mental health and endometriosis as examples, with our own Jarrah Small speaking on how us recreational fishers can minimise impacts to our marine life just by being mindful where we cast!
Sandy Bolton MP 203389_01 Their content was relevant, factual, to the point and respectful, with some light-hearted ‘theatrics’ and minimal disruptions – we need to adopt those 3-minute speeches for debates as it leaves little time for rock throwing and no time for filibustering! Best of all there was no timewasting as I did not need to call the House to order, nor respond to endless trivial points of order! Chamber nirvana – yes, and how our Chamber should be. Mature and focused. Not what it has become where transparency, representation and scrutiny have become just a memory. Thank you to all of our incredible youngsters.
Your passion, intelligence, genuine care for our world and focus to make a difference is testimony to your parents and carers, teachers and all in your space who have made you, you! Some may or may not become politicians, however all are destined to impact our world, and if they can hold onto their ‘now’ into the future, us ‘oldies’ can all rest easy. However, my team never can rest easy when it comes to this time of the year where we compile questions for our annual survey, experiencing a loss of hair, as well humour! The difficulty? Looking as to what may come up in Parliament next year that we would like feedback on from our community, as well how to avoid high percentages of ‘need to know more information’ responses! So please, in preparation do some individual research on those ‘bug bears’ energy, water and government committee chair casting votes (summaries in 360 will give you a start! https://sandybolton.com/noosa-360/) and keep an eye out for the ‘annual’, which should hit your ‘snail mail’ box in December via the Connect. As always, we will also send to our newsletter subscribers, post to FB, Instagram and Linked In as well promoted via our columns. Oh, and yes, carrier pigeons! Now to some updates. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE REFORM With no Upper House since 1922, parliamentary committees are supposed to provide essential scrutiny of government decisions. Yet six of the seven scrutiny committees are chaired by government MPs holding casting votes, with minutes of all but one not published. Governments effectively oversee their own scrutiny! Despite pre-election commitments to improvements, the Premier advised in December 2025 that reform was not a top priority.

LIVE MUSIC AND NOISE REGULATIONS For our musicians, venues and nearby residents, Queensland’s Nightlife Economy Action Plan 2026–2032, developed following the Moonrise review, includes a range of reforms to support live music and grassroots venues. Of particular interest to Noosa is the review of proposed reforms to entertainment sound and noise regulations commencing this year, including existing sound limits and how complaints are assessed and managed. With regulations largely unchanged for decades, it is important that any changes consider the impacts on both residents and venues. These reforms are expected to progress through 2027–28. Separately, Noosa Council is investigating local options for Noosa Junction, including its ability to regulate entertainment precincts where different outcomes to statewide regulations are sought.

A tale of two EV drivers Home charging, solar power and lower maintenance costs are changing the driving experience for two local electric vehicle owners. For Sven and Josh, switching to electric vehicles has delivered more than lower fuel bills. Both say their EVs have made driving quieter, smoother and less tiring, while giving them greater certainty over household transport costs. Sven, an advocate for sustainable transport, bought his first EV — a Tesla Model 3 — in 2020. He described it as the best car he had driven in 48 years. Over four years, he said total maintenance spending was $150, while charging at home during low-cost periods markedly reduced fuel expenses. In 2024, Sven upgraded to a newer Model 3 with a claimed range of more than 600 kilometres. He said supervised self-driving now handles about 85 per cent of his driving, without incident, and usually parks effectively at multiple destinations. The greatest benefit, he said, has been a substantial reduction in driver fatigue. With the car charged from rooftop solar, Sven estimates 30,000 kilometres of driving is essentially free, saving about $3,000 a year. He
Sven and Josh (Supplied) 583759 01 puts annual maintenance at roughly $100 for items such as wheel changes, wipers and filters. He also enjoys the vehicle’s built-in AI as a research, administration and navigation tool. Josh bought his first ever new car in July this year – a Geely EX5. He was expecting to save money but says he underestimated how much he would in fact save and how much he would enjoy driving electric. A full home charge costs him less than $4 — under $1 per 100 kilometres — and his first service is expected to cost less than $190. The car cost about $46,000 and was financed through the dealer at less than one per cent. Josh said selling his previous car allowed
him to place the proceeds in his mortgage offset, helping to fund the upgrade. Predictable running costs and the reliability of a new car have made transport “one less variable” in his budget, while fluctuating petrol prices are no longer a concern. Josh’s EX5 also runs almost entirely on solar power. Charging, he said, is as simple as plugging in at home, and he has not needed to visit a public charging station or petrol station since buying it. With more than 400 kilometres of range, he regularly travels to visit friends and explore the coast and hinterland without hesitation. Both owners highlighted driver-assistance technology as a practical benefit.

Josh said intelligent cruise control and other assistance features reduce fatigue on the Bruce Highway and around town, helping him arrive fresher. He also praised the cameras, climate control, quiet ride and low-mounted battery, which gives the vehicle responsive handling. For motorists weighing up their next vehicle, the experiences of Sven and Josh point to a broader proposition: an EV can offer not only reduced running costs and lower reliance on petrol, but also a markedly different day-to-day driving experience. The main problem in the expanding EV market, is choosing the one right for you. To find out more about driving an EV check out ZEN’s website: zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au

I
n 2019, 17-year-old Jack Beasley was fatally stabbed during a night out. Since then, Jack’s parents Brett and Belinda Beasley have campaigned to prevent a similar tragedy affecting others.
The Queensland Government is cracking down on re-offenders by introducing stronger bail laws. While victim numbers are down 9.6%*, more needs to be done to ensure safety is restored and the rights of victims prioritised. Under the next phase of Adult Crime, Adult Time, which covers 47 offences, repeat offenders will face automatic jail if they commit a serious crime while on bail. To have your say on the proposed legislation, search ‘Breach Bail Go to Jail’.
This advocacy resulted in Jack’s Law, giving police the ability to wand people in public places. Since the law became permanent, police have scanned almost 200,000 people and seized more than 1400 weapons. For more information, search ‘Jack’s Law’.

Unitywater takes 400 calls a day Noosa residents are among thousands of customers contacting Unitywater each week, with leaks and water outages ranking among the most common reasons people pick up the phone. Unitywater’s customer contact centres at Maroochydore and Mango Hill answered more than 102,000 calls during the 2025-26 financial year – an average of 403 calls every weekday. The utility services Noosa, the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay, with the volume of customer enquiries reflecting the rapid growth across the region. Unitywater Executive Manager Customer Experience Katherine Gee said many calls came from people moving house or buying and selling property. “Unlike power, water and wastewater services always remain connected, so when you move, they are simply transferred from the seller to the buyer as part of the settlement process through the Queensland Titles Office,” Ms Gee said. The utility also received about 28,000 emails during the year and continued to provide face-to-face customer service at its Maroochydore and Mango Hill counters. But leaks remain one of the most common reasons for customers to contact Unitywater. The issue has particular relevance to Noosa, with Unitywater expanding its digital water meter program into the shire this year to help identify leaks earlier. The program is being rolled out across Noosa as part of a wider expansion across Unitywater’s service region, with older areas being prioritised because they are more likely to experience leaks. The new meters send daily water-use data to Unitywater, allowing potential leaks to be identified more quickly and customers to be notified earlier. Unitywater said leak reports from residents – whether on private properties, roads, pathways or near its infrastructure – helped crews investigate problems and carry out repairs more quickly. Reports of “no water” were another frequent reason for calls. Planned maintenance can require temporary interruptions to supplies, while unexpected faults can also affect customers. Unitywater’s online outage map provides information about affected suburbs and streets, together with expected restoration times. The utility responded to more than 10,000 reactive jobs across its service region between July 2025 and July 2026, with its Maroochydore-based control room operating around the clock. Unitywater’s customer contact centre operates from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday for account and general enquiries. Faults can be reported 24 hours a day, seven days a week on 1300 086 489.
The Guide LYNLEY ABC TV, Saturday, 8.30pm
PICK OF THE WEEK
An aristocratic inspector (Leo Suter) partners with a working-class sergeant (Sofia Barclay, pictured with Suter) to tackle complex murder cases in this intelligent police procedural. Based on the crime novels by Elizabeth George, it’s a fresh spin on the characters who first appeared on-screen in the popular BBC drama The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. After solving their first case together in last week’s premiere, detectives Lynley and Havers are assigned to investigate the disappearance of a young real estate agent connected to an old classmate of Lynley’s, Helen Clyde (Niamh Walsh). Fans of the inspector will know who she becomes in the future – tune in to see how it all unfolds. TINA ARENA: UNRAVEL ME Seven, Sunday, 7pm
Just eight years old when she made her television debut as a contestant on Young Talent Time in 1976, incomparable vocalist Tina Arena (pictured) is celebrating 50 years in the music industry with this intimate and honest documentary. Arena reflects on her life in two separate, interwoven interviews – one as Tina, the star, and one as her private self: the woman her family still calls Pina. From a traditional Italian upbringing in suburban Melbourne to achieving ’90s pop perfection and finding success performing in Europe, Arena and those closest to her – sisters Nancy and Silvana, her late mentor Johnny Young and admirers including Céline Dion and Jessica Mauboy – recount an incredible career.
SAM PANG TONIGHT 10, Monday, 8.40pm
When Sam Pang Tonight landed on the box in March 2025, the tonight-show format had been absent from Aussie screens for over a decade, and despite host Sam Pang’s undeniable charm, it seemed like a risky bet for Network 10. It’s a gamble that has well and truly paid off: just over 18 months later, the show is a ratings hit and Pang is a Gold Logie winner. Now, the most popular personality on Australian television returns for a third season of this star-studded success story. Pang is sticking to the winning formula for this eightepisode excursion, with a witty weekly monologue, candid celebrity interviews, and the ever-chaotic Wheel of Segments back in the mix.
Golden age: Sam Pang Tonight returns for a third season on Monday; inset, Pang with season two guests Rachel Griffiths, Sam Campbell and Russell Crowe.

Discover Best of Botswana There are places that change the way the world is viewed, and Botswana is one of them. In July 2027, Noosa Travel invites a small group of travellers to join their fully escorted Best of Botswana with Victoria Falls tour, departing 5 July 2027. It’s a journey into one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, and an experience you’ll be talking about for years. The adventure begins with three nights at Victoria Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world. The tour includes a guided walking tour of Victoria Falls, a chance to feel the spray and hear the thunder of the water as it plunges into the gorge below; an evening of traditional African cuisine, music and dancing; a half-day tour into Zambia to visit Mosi-O-Tunya National Park, where visitors have the rare chance to see white rhino on foot with expert guides and before enjoying high tea at the historic Victoria Falls Hotel. Botswana is home to some of the richest wildlife viewing on the planet. July is one of the best times to travel and falls in the dry season, when water becomes scarce and animals gather in remarkable numbers around rivers, lagoons and waterholes. Picture vast herds of elephants making their way to drink, buffalo moving across the plains in their hundreds, and giraffe, zebra and antelope at every turn. Lions, leopards and wild dogs follow the herds, and every game drive brings the thrill of not knowing what will be around the next bend. Mobile camping lets visitors follow the best of the wildlife rather than staying in one place. Fall asleep to the sounds of the African bush and wake to birdsong and the distant call of lions. And as each day draws to a close, fall asleep watching the sky turn gold, orange and crimson

in one of those unforgettable African sunsets, ideally with a gin and tonic in hand around the campfire. The tents are large with comfortable beds, mattresses and linen with guests having their own camping toilet and shower. All meals, drinks and tipping are included. There is no participation required, the boys move camp every two nights and set up at the new camp site before the group arrive. The mobile safari camping tour has been cho-
sen with one thing in mind: getting you closer to the action. With only six guests per vehicle, everyone is guaranteed a window seat. No craning over shoulders or jostling for the best angle – just uninterrupted views and plenty of room for your camera. This tour is strictly limited to 11 travellers, so it feels more like a journey with friends than a group tour. Best of all, you’ll be fully escorted by Noosa Travel staff from start to finish.
They take care of the details, so customers can relax and soak it all in, knowing a familiar face from home is always on hand. With just 11 places available, this tour is expected to fill quickly. If Africa has always been on list, now is the time to make it happen. Contact Noosa Travel on 07 5449 7000 or email info@noosatravel.com.au today to find out more and reserve your spot on the Best of Botswana with Victoria Falls tour.

Enjoy a new experience A $126 million transformation of the Twelve Apostles Precinct has now opened creating a new gateway to the Great Ocean Road and changing the way visitors arrive at, experience and understand one of the world’s great natural landmarks. Anchored by the new 3,300-square-metre Keerray Woorroong Visitor Centre, the Twelve Apostles Precinct transforms a famous photo stop into a richer experience designed to encourage visitors to stay longer and explore more of the Great Ocean Road. The world-class Visitor Centre brings together Eastern Maar culture and perspectives, immersive exhibitions and digital experiences, local food and drink, regional visitor information, guided experiences and the Great Ocean Lookout rooftop garden and observation area, with sweeping views across the Southern Ocean. Designed in consultation with Eastern Maar, the Visitor Centre provides an opportunity to understand the iconic coast through the perspectives of one of the world’s oldest living cultures. Interactive displays, artefacts and guided experiences explore the deep history and geology of the place, ecological wonder, the changing coastline and the people connected to Country. A new Welcome Garden shares Eastern Maar culture through native gardens and trails, while the dedicated Keerray Woorroong experience brings together audiovisual and static displays exploring millions of years of climate and geological history and the environmental story of the national park and surrounding region. Twelve Apostles Visitor Precinct General Manager Andre Smaniotto said he believed that what was always one of the world’s great natural landmarks now had so much more to experience on top of that famous view. “The new Visitor Centre gives people the opportunity to slow down, discover the stories of this remarkable place and experience the coast through a broader lens,” he said “From Eastern Maar culture and the natural environment to local food, regional stories and spectacular views across the Southern Ocean, we want visitors to leave with a deeper connection to this place as well as a desire to explore more of the Great Ocean Road.” The Visitor Centre is aimed at visitors discover the wider region through expert advice, itineraries and local insights, with Visitor Ambassadors, talks and guided experiences bringing the precinct and surrounding region to life. Inclusive family, accessible and sensory facilities would support a broad range of visitors. Food and drink will also be central to the experience, with a 230-seat cafe and a walk-up kiosk overlooking the Welcome Garden. The offering will include products from local businesses including Timboon Distillery and Timboon Fine Ice Cream, with indoor and outdoor dining providing opportunities to enjoy the landscape and

It is hoped the precinct will also support regional tourism by encouraging longer stays and spreading visitors across the region, creating ongoing benefits for local businesses, hospitality venues and accommodation providers. From now on every visitor will need a booking to visit the Twelve Apostles. Bookings are made
via twelveapostles.org.au and are currently free. Visitors without a booking will be able to make one at the entrance gate, although entry may not be immediate if parking has reached capacity. Advance bookings are strongly recommended. A fee for bookings will be introduced in April 2027, with all revenue directly reinvested into coastal protection, conservation and improve-
ments to the visitor experience across the coast and parks of the Great Ocean Road. The Keerray Woorroong Visitor Centre will operate 365 days a year, with building hours from 8am to 8pm during daylight saving and 9am to 5pm during standard time.

A priceless display By Jim Fagan Next month one of the most extraordinary collections of Elizabethan and Jacobean jewellery ever discovered—the “Cheapside Hoard”—will go on permanent exhibition at London Museum’s new Goldsmiths’ Gallery. And with near perfect timing a description of the jewels, which were accidentally unearthed more than 100 years ago, will be given to ArtsNational Noosa members and visitors by international lecturer and former Museum curator Amanda Herries at their meeting on Saturday, October 24. In 1912, a workman swinging a pickaxe through the floor of a cellar in an historical part of London, 30–32 Cheapside Street, struck something that wasn’t rubble—a decayed wooden box. The cellar had not been opened in 270 years and what the box contained was nearly 500 gemstones, jewels and precious objects from many parts of the world. Among them was an exquisite gold watch set in a massive emerald from Colombia; sapphires, spinels, diamonds and rubies from India and Sri Lanka; nephrite jade from China, turquoise from Persia, glistening pearls and opals and an important group of antique gems; including the head of a Ptolemaic queen carved in Egypt in the 2nd-1st century BC. The history and description of the “Hoard,” the value of which is considered to be priceless, and the importance of the treasure to trade will be discussed by art curator, writer and lecturer Amanda who read archaeology and anthropology at Cambridge and from 1978 to 1988 was a curator at London Museum specialising in the decorative arts from 1714 onwards. Her most recent publications have been on

Think Mr Darcy (Mathew McFadyen) and Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) as they dance in Pride and Prejudice to music which draws greatly from Purcell’s baroque or Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany as they strum Boccherini’s La Musica Notturna in Master and Commander. Seventeenth century baroque has captured every mood in many movies and Arioso Chamber Ensemble will relive those musical moments at Pomona’s Majestic Theatre with its concert on October 31 ‘From Handel to Hollywood.’ Group co-ordinator and harpsichordist Janet Brewer told Noosa today Internationally renowned counter-tenor Tobias Merz will join Margaret Caley and Jacqueline Webber (baroque violin) and Shannon Scheltema (viola da gamba) for the concert.
“Among the songs Tobias will sing are Handel’s Laschia’s pianga which featured in “Farinelli” and Ombra mai fù," a famous opening aria from George Frideric Handel’s 1738 opera Xerxes which is frequently featured in films rather than being a movie itself.” Works by Purcell, Marin Marais and JS Bach would also be presented by the group which Janet said was founded 14 years ago and regularly performs at festivals and concerts from Maryborough to Armidale. Handel to Hollywood. 4:00pm Saturday October 31 at the Majestic Theatre, 3 Factory St, Pomona 4568. Tickets $40, concession $35, school student $15.

Noosa sailors shine Noosa Yacht & Rowing Club sailors have returned from one of Queensland’s major youth sailing events with strong results and valuable experience after tackling challenging conditions at Yeppoon. Thirteen NYRC sailors competed at the 2026 Zhik Youth Sail QLD at Keppel Bay Sailing Club from September 21-26, an event that combines three days of coaching with three days of competitive racing. The coaching component provides young sailors with an opportunity to learn from experienced competitors before immediately putting those skills into practice on the water. For NYRC ILCA 4 sailor Leon-Wei, one of the highlights was spending three days at the ILCA 4 coaching clinic with Australian Olympian Mara Stransky. The coaching covered everything from the fundamental “golden rules” of sailing to more advanced techniques such as torquing. “Having the opportunity to work closely with an Olympic-level sailor and then apply that knowledge during the racing was particularly valuable,” Leon-Wei said. The racing proved considerably more demanding, with conditions varying throughout the regatta. Strong winds, swells of up to about two metres and gusts reaching approximately 25 knots restricted the number of races that could be completed and made conditions particularly challenging for the ILCA 4 fleet. Leon-Wei finished ninth overall from 36 sailors and fourth in the under-16 category, a result he was particularly pleased with given the strength of the fleet. Several of the sailors finishing ahead had been among the top ILCA competitors at the previous Queensland State Championships or had competed at the ILCA 4 World Championships in Denmark only a few months earlier. The result provided a useful benchmark for Leon-Wei against some of Queensland’s strongest young ILCA 4 sailors, while also highlighting areas to work on in future training. NYRC’s other sailors also performed strongly. Lachlan Kelly finished 15th overall and Cassidy Frank 25th in the ILCA 4 fleet, while Morgan Haines finished fourth overall from 24 sailors in the Open Skiff fleet. The club’s Green Fleet sailors also benefited from the coaching and racing experience, developing their skills in a supportive environment alongside some of Queensland’s strongest youth sailors. For the NYRC contingent, the six-day

event was about more than results, providing an opportunity to train with experienced coaches, compete against strong opposition and gain experience in difficult sailing conditions.
The Zhik Youth Sail QLD has become an important event on the Queensland youth sailing calendar because of its combination of coaching and racing, allowing competitors to learn new techniques and immediately test
them in competition. For the Noosa sailors, the Yeppoon regatta provided plenty of both – along with some valuable lessons to take back onto the water.
Action at the Hill A wonderful collection of open wheel racing cars are always entered at the Noosa Hill climb and this year’s Summer Hill is no exception with up to 12 of these race bred specialist cars on show. One car has been to the Hill more than 25 times and is always spectacular to watch. Phil Charles in his 1977 GRD Nota has plenty of power with a high revving 1600cc turbocharged twin cam engine and weighing just over 400Kg the racing car needs massive rear tyres to get the power to the ground. Phil enters events at Warwick, Queensland Raceway, Lakeside as well as the Noosa Hill, this year winning his class at the Grafton Historic meeting showing that the car hasn’t lost the performance it had when new almost 50 years ago. At a recent event Phil drove the car in the rain after many other racing cars stayed dry, not an easy task with slick tyres, the rooster tail behind his car reinforcing the competitive nature of the car and driver. Phil said “I came here to race and I’m not going home yet!” Talk to the driver and see up close this racing car and several more like it in the pits at Noosa Summer Hill, 14 and 15 November.

Golf Club’s big win Maleny Golf Club has capped off a momentous year by being named Most Outstanding Queensland Club, Facility or Place to Play (Regional) at the 2026 Queensland Golf Industry Awards in Brisbane last week. The prestigious award recognises the club’s significant achievements since opening its first nine holes for play in 2015 and follows the official launch in late September of its new $1.77 million clubhouse – almost half of which was financed by loans from members. Maleny Golf Club President Matt Caffery said attaining such a high level of industry recognition marked the culmination of years of dedication by many past and present members and a source of enormous pride for all associated with the club. “I’m hoping everyone takes a little time to reflect on the commitment, tenacity and belief you’ve contributed to making Maleny officially now the best regional golf club in Queensland,” he said. “Awards like this don’t happen because of one person or one great idea. They are the result of a
(Supplied) (Supplied) lot of people caring about the club, backing each other, persevering when things don’t go to plan, and continuing to believe we can and will make our club better.” The award marks a significant milestone for the club and Maleny’s community - highlighting the important role regional golf clubs play in bringing people together, supporting participation and strengthening connections through sport. Maleny Golf Club General Manager Doug Evans said winning the award was a tremen-
dous achievement for Maleny Golf Club which had only just completed the final six holes of its high-quality, 18-hole course in 2020 when the COVID pandemic hit. “This award truly reflects the dedication of our team, the support of our members, volunteers and the broader community, and our ongoing commitment to providing a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all who visit – whether to play golf or just enjoy the view from the deck,” he said. “We are incredibly proud to represent Maleny and the wider Sunshine Coast Hinterland on the Queensland stage. This award belongs to every-
one who contributes to our club and helps to make it such a special place.” The Queensland Golf Industry Awards bring together the golf industry to recognise excellence across clubs, facilities, professionals, volunteers and other contributors to the sport. Maleny Golf Club’s success reinforces its position as a valued part of the local community and celebrates the collective effort required to deliver a quality golfing experience in regional Queensland. Club Secretary Andrew Johnson, who played a pivotal role in project-managing delivery of the new clubhouse, was among the finalists for the award of Board Member of Year. One of the club’s longstanding members and course volunteers, Hans van Sambeek, who passed away suddenly earlier this year, was also recognised as a finalist for the award of Volunteer of the Year. The club extends its thanks to members, staff, volunteers and supporters for their continued contribution to its success.
Giving a warm welcome to new members The Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club has taken a massive step forward in its completion of new Induction Video. It has been designed to welcome new members and showcase everything it has to offer, by providing an overview of the many areas of the club. It highlights the various activities, programs and opportunities for members to get involved in. With 382 new members joining the NHSLSC this season, we hope this video will serve as a valuable resource as they begin their journey with the club while also encouraging, our existing members to explore new ways to get involved in our vibrant club community. A project like this would not have been possible without the incredible support of our members. We would like to extend a huge thank you to all members, coachers and Patrol Captains, who generously contributed their time, enthu30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 16 October, 2026

A special thank you goes to Club member Wes Green from Nalu Productions, whose expertise in filming and producing the video has been instrumental in bringing this project together. We would like to acknowledge our administrative team and in particular Caitlin and Gary for their efforts in

Thank you for continuing to make NHSLSC, a welcome and compassionate community. Well done to President Donald McKill and team. With regards to the Coolangatta Gold, it will be contested this Saturday over a distance of 25k with contestants doing the swim, run, board and ski. Representing the Noosa Club will be Electra Outram, Finella Gibbs-Beale, Zale Outram, Caitlin Broukhart and Trelise Chote. Darcy Lewis will contest the Sprint race. Pickleball Gathers Pace in Australia According to the Noosa’s Pickleball Club latest flyer, several of our local players recently travelled to Vietnam. Other sources have reported that the sport is spreading through schools and clubs. In Australia we now have an estimated 92000 players and 267 clubs.
Clearly Pickleball is on the rise. It comes as no surprise as it is played by the very young through to the 70yr olds. Outside the USA, Canada has the sports largest market, while Brazil is fast gaining ground and interest is growing across the Middle East. Nothing brings people together quite like sport. Martial Arts. From the local Caza Jiu-Jitsu Club comes another success story. Competing under Head Instructor Yoshie Hasegawa the club attended a Grappling Industries Sunshine Carnival at the Caloundra Indoor Stadium, where 22 Caza competitors took to the mats. This consisted of 17 kids and 5 adults. At the end of the day the Noosa Club came home with a total of 27 medals: 12 gold ,8 silver and 7 bronzes. From this the Kids Competition won 11gold7 silver and 5 bronzes for a total of 23 medals, thus giving them a 52% win rate.

Portugal comes to life LIFE OF BRINE PHIL JARRATT philjarratt.com If you’re a surfer October is the best time of year to be in Portugal and no one knows that better than Noosa’s rising star on the WSL Challenger Series Ben Lorentson. Of course with a live ranking of #58 as I write, Benny has a lot of work still to do in just the current event, the Ericeira Pro and Newcastle next March, but it’s great to see on his Instagram posts that he’s loving the lifestyle of the travelling pro, and, like Oscar Berry and most of the struggling Aussies, he’s not letting a few ordinary results get in the way of living his best life. Over the years I’ve spent a lot of Octobers in Portugal, starting in 1973 and I think the last time was in 2018. Now, getting seriously old, I’m not sure I’ll ever get back there, but I have some wonderful memories to keep me going, and so many of them are from Peniche, where the Meo Rip Curl Pro begins today (Friday 16) and where the best thing for me about watching the pros try to tame Supertubos is the occasional long shot down the beach to the old village and the harbour breakwall where after a day of surfing we would cadge sardines from the fishermen, cook them on an open fire and sit outside Madam Sirly’s bar eating them and washing them down with rose out of a plastic bottle, more than 50 years ago. But right now the Challenger Series is on down the road 40 minutes at beautiful Ericeira and Benny Lorentson is one of 12 Aussie men through to the round of 32, where unfortunately he’ll meet Oscar Berry. You’ll know the result by the time you read this, but I say unfortunate because I badly want both of these guys to win and keep winning. After his third placing at the last event in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Oscar jumped into 14th place in the Challenger rankings, just four shy of qualification for next year’s world tour, which was just as well, because with one heat win all season on the CT, he can’t requalify, even if he wins the last event at Pipeline. But speaking of qualifying for next year, Burleigh’s Charli Hately’s incredible win in Sao Paulo, her first on the Challenger, has placed her in touch with winning a spot on the women’s tour, now sitting at #12. As fate would have it, as Charli was smashing her rivals in Brazil, I was sitting poolside at our friend Suzi Short’s place at Angourie, when the phone rang and Suzi put me on line with her very stoked son, esteemed shaper Luke Short. Luke had plenty to be excited about since his LSD team riders Oscar Berry and Charli Hately had finished third and first respectively. Charli didn’t do so well in Portugal, but as I mentioned, as I write Oscar is still in the hunt, but he has to get past Benny. What a quandary! Vale Sid Cassidy In this space last November I wrote about the wonderful evening on the Gold Coast when Gra-
Kanoa Portugal (583828) ham “Sid” Cassidy became the 48th inductee in the Surfing Australia Hall of Fame for his lifelong devotion to professional surfing. There was a lot of love in the room for the bloke we all knew as Sid, but the man himself was too ill to attend, and the honour was accepted by his lifetime surf buddies Steve Core and Reno Gillespie. Last weekend the inevitable news spread around the network. Sid had paddled off the peak at 79. An influential journalist, promoter, and event director, Sid Cassidy was instrumental in shaping professional surfing throughout the 1970s and 1980s and into the ‘90s — not just in Australia, but across the global sport. I’ve written before about our personal connection, since 1970 when we met in a smoky city newsroom, so on this sad occasion I’m going to let others have the last word on Sid. As seven-times world champion Layne Beachley told Surfing Australia last November: “Sid’s love for surfing was boundless. When women’s surfing struggled for recognition, Sid stood with us, cheered for us, and helped us rise.” 1976 world champion Peter Townend, a close friend who lived in Cronulla while working for Gordon Smith in the 1970s, says: “Sid was a key architect in developing pro surfing as we know it. A journo by trade, but it was his love of surfing that motivated him to make it respected in the mainstream and he did just that. He loved surfing Sandshoes, playing touch footy in the park behind Shoes and just socialising with friends. A true mate!” Says Steve Core: “Sid had boundless energy, always full of beans. He lived right on the Esplanade walkway facing the ocean and his beloved Sandshoes. In between surfs at the reef, (surfboard manufacturer) Ross Longbottom’s house next-door was always the meeting place for table tennis tournaments, barbeques, and backyard cricket games, Sid always in the thick of it. “If Sid believed in something he was 100 per cent full-on, giving it everything he had, the same way he ran any of his surfing contests, whether it be Surfabout or the Straight Talk Tyres or a local Sandshoes Boardriders monthly pointscore.”

ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IN the 1980s Sunrise Beach became the go-to for young families to build as the area was opened up - ocean breezes, views and proximity to Sunshine Beach as well as Noosa Junction. Tingira and Corsair Cres, Orient Dve, Newfield St and Netherby Rise were favourites, and the original Beach Chalet restaurant was home to emerging bands. The value of Sunrise has seen a substantial increase through the years, with houses going through upgrades and significant rebuilds as families grow up and others discover the attraction. Peter TeWhata at Tom Offermann Real Estate has a property at 22 Netherby Rise going to auction Saturday, 17 October, at 12pm that enjoys what he describes as “an amazing position.’’ Within a short walk to the beach, the threebedroom, three-bathroom house comes with pool and two-car garaging. It one of the handful of properties to have the ideal east-north-east aspect and be protected from the south west. “Properties such as this don’t come onto the market often,’’ Peter said. “This street is still popular with families, with a number of longterm residents. “There are 180-degree coastal views from Noosa National Park to Point Cartwright. “The house has a really nice flow to it - a welcoming feel. “People love the outlook across the Orient Dve reserve. From upstairs you can watch the whales go past.’’ The lifestyle on offer of being able swim in the pool, play in the yard or go to the beach has also been appealing to those at open homes. All bedrooms are upstairs and there is a view from every room, Peter said. “There have been multiple sales in the street over the years but the properties have been

22 Netherby Rise, Sunrise Beach: Three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house, pool. Auction Saturday, 17 October, at 12pm. tightly held in recent times. “Local interest is again to the fore, as well as Brisbane and from interstate. Buyers are looking at the long term buy and hold.’’ Noosa Council short term letting approval is in place and an inventory is available. People comment on the pastel stone-hued flooring, and the suspended stone-edged pool as well as the timber sun terrace. The kitchen features cream stone-topped cabinetry including an island breakfast bar, white translucent glass splashback and a walk-in pantry. Appliances include an Inverter icemaker fridge, AEG dishwasher, Blanco oven and five-hob gas cooktop. The main bedroom suite has terrace access, picture windows and views looking north from the Noosa National Park and east for sunrises from its nautical-like podium deck. There’s a walk-in robe, and a striking white-tiled ensuite with creamy, glass-topped, two-basin cabinetry, a free-standing bath, and the shower with louvres for those checking the surf. Downstairs is a study, laundry with access to a drying area, an all-white bathroom with single basin cabinetry, and adjacent to the kitchen is a storeroom. The two car garage with storage has internal access. Coming to the market with Peter later this month or early November is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment with rooftop terrace in Sunshine Beach. RIVERFRONT APPEALS Jesse Stowers at Tom Offermann Real Estate has seen a very strong follow-up to his sale of a two-bedroom beachfront apartment in Noosa Heads recently. The mid-floor 8/25 Hastings St apartment sale thought to be in excess of $10m to interstate buyers set a record for a two-bedroom apartment in Tingirana. Now he has recorded a sale under the hammer of an absolute riverfront apartment in Noosaville. The Mariners Point address at 2-4 William St really is second-to-none - at the end of the

Offering two bedrooms and three bathrooms, Apartment 4 also has short term letting approval in place. There were three registered bidders - all active, Jesse said, comprising local and Sydney interests. With a good crowd in attendance and a list of 70 people having enquired or attended the open homes, a $2.6m start led to very close bidding. “It was a real nail-biter,’’ Jesse said. “You did not know who would come out on top. “There were 20 bids that was very spirited towards the end, that saw the Sydney interests successful at $3.23m.’’ The buyers had been looking for the right property to come up. “This apartment has a nice relationship with the water,’’ Jesse said. “It’s interesting in that we are dealing with a few buyers coming out of Sydney, so people are seeing sales happening there. “Noosa is fortunate as we are in a market that those in the eastern seaboard capitals have an affection for.’’ Jesse now has another Noosa Heads listing

LIKE WALKING ON THE RIVER With an exceptional view to the mouth of the Noosa River, a top-floor apartment at Noosaville has appeal for those downsizing or looking to improve their position. Luke Chen at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car riverfront apartment 8/303 Gympie Tce to auction at 12pm, Saturday, 24 October. With arguably the best view from Gympie Tce both to the river mouth and up the river towards Tewantin, the top-floor apartment has been the holiday home for the original owners since 1987. Meticulously presented, the spacious apartment with multi-purpose room is in a boutique building of nine with private pontoon jetty and pool. “With front-row seats of the river, it’s as if you like walking on the river,’’ Luke said. “The building just had a major works program thanks to a very active group of property owners.

And the bids came in $100,000s, $200,000s and $300,000s before settling into strategies of $5000, $10,000 and $25,000s. “Is it $4.2m?’’ The auctioneer asked. “It was always going to be around these numbers. “We’ve reached our mark.’’ That saw a final $4.25m then $4.30m. After 22 bids the property sold to the Brisbane buyers. Outside, neighbours walking to see the outcome were surprised that it had sold in such quick time. Auctions can be drawn out, with bidding strategies like pulling teeth as the auctioneers often comment. But not this one. A long-time Sunshine resident said he expected the price but not the result coming so quickly. It shows, that good properties always sell.

The main enquiry has been from locals as well as Melbourne and Sydney. SUNSHINE AUCTION FIRES UP A house designed by Chris Clout and built by Chris Smith in the heart of Sunshine Beach attracted significant numbers throughout its auction campaign. As a result, Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Erica Newton and Rebecca Offermann welcomed a crowd of about 70 to the auction on Saturday morning of the north-facing house on a 766sq m corner block at 10 Duke Street. Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald announced almost double digit numbers of registrations for the three-bedroom house with swimming pool. With one bidding authority being held by Offermann agent Tiffany Wilson, and a buyer’s agent acting for Brisbane interests, it wasn’t long before there was a starting bid of $2.5m.

EXPANSIVE OCEAN VIEWS, MOMENTS FROM SUNSHINE BEACH VILLAGE CAPTURING awe inspiring ocean views, 11 Bowman Terrace occupies an exceptional position just moments from the beach, Sunshine Beach Village and the Surf Club. Elevated, private and filled with natural light, this is a home where the ocean is an everpresent backdrop and some of Noosa’s best cafe’s, restaurants and coastline are all within an easy walk. The outlook takes centre stage from the main living level, where wide ocean views and cooling sea breezes accompany everyday life. Generous open-plan living and dining spaces flow across polished timber floors to a substantial covered terrace, creating an impressive setting for entertaining, relaxing and taking in the changing colours of the ocean. At the heart of the home, the expansive kitchen features stone benchtops and a gas cooktop, with its open design ensuring the ocean outlook remains firmly in view. To the rear, the home reveals an entirely different side of the Sunshine Beach lifestyle. A large, private garden surrounds the freeform swimming pool, complete with a shallow beach-style entry, while a tiered outdoor deck and garden, a generous lawn, established landscaping and additional covered entertaining create a relaxed outdoor environment with space for children, pets and long afternoons with family and friends. Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged
across the home. The main level includes a generous master suite with built-in robes and an ensuite. Upstairs, two further bedrooms are positioned alongside the family bathroom and a mezzanine, while a fourth bedroom on the lower level provides separation and flexibility for guests or family. Despite its peaceful residential setting, everything that defines the Sunshine Beach lifestyle is close at hand. The sand is approximately two minutes away on foot, while Duke Street’s acclaimed cafe’s and restaurants and the Sunshine Beach Surf Club are only a
short stroll from home.

A STATEMENT HOME IN AN EXTRAORDINARY SETTING THERE are properties that impress, and then there are those that simply cannot be replicated. Set across 3.36 private acres with extensive frontage to Lake Macdonald, 80 Hayward Road combines scale, privacy and a remarkable north facing waterfront setting. The sense of arrival is immediate. Established gardens, mature landscaping and feature stone columns frame the approach, while the residence is oriented towards the water beyond. From the pool and outdoor entertaining areas to the expansive lawns and gardens, the lake is an ever present backdrop. Over the years, the owners have undertaken considerable improvements throughout the property, transforming both its presentation and the way the home is enjoyed. The gardens have been extensively developed, the outdoor living and pool areas renovated, and a completely new kitchen now forms the heart of the residence. Substantial in scale and beautifully finished, the kitchen centres around an oversized stone island and features Falcon and Neff appliances, farmhouse and butler sinks, a Zip tap and excellent storage. It connects naturally with
the open plan living and dining areas, while a dramatic lounge with vaulted ceilings and skylights adds another dimension to the home. A separate media room, dedicated office,
study or craft room and gym provide excellent flexibility, while air conditioning to every room ensures year round comfort. Outside, the pool and entertaining areas are a major highlight, with new decking, tiled surrounds and a heated magnesium pool and spa creating a beautifully finished outdoor environment overlooking the gardens and water. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms provide generous accommodation, while the separate council approved one bedroom relatives apartment offers valuable independence for guests, extended family or multigenerational living. The grounds are equally impressive, with established fruit trees, vegetable gardens and greenhouse, together with a bore, dam and automated 20 station watering system. A substantial 38kW solar system with 25kW battery storage, extensive garaging and additional shedding further enhance the property. What ultimately sets 80 Hayward Road apart is the combination of elements that are almost impossible to reproduce: substantial private
acreage, direct frontage to Lake Macdonald, established grounds and a residence of genuine scale and individuality. Rarely does a property bring together this level of privacy, position and infrastructure in such a distinctive Lake Macdonald setting.

With sweeping views stretching from the river mouth to the hinterland, the coveted north-west aspect delivers something truly special - magical afternoons, golden evenings and some of the most spectacular sunsets Noosa has to offer, as the sun slips behind the silhouettes of Mt Tinbeerwah and Mt Cooroy. And the view is never still. From your terrace, watch pleasure craft glide by, see the Noosa Ferries shuttle along the river and enjoy the ever-changing rhythm of life on the water. It’s the kind of outlook you can lose yourself in for hours.

effortless Noosa. Adding to the sense of exclusivity, the complex comprises just nine apartments, with a sparkling swimming pool and an exclusive
pontoon jetty - perfect for enjoying the river at its most beautiful. This is more than a home. It’s a front-row invitation to the Noosa lifestyle. River views.

URBAN SANCTUARY: EXCLUSIVE AND PRIVATE OFFERING a lifestyle of serenity and effortless living across a single level, suitable for all ages and stages in life; this contemporary residence on a leafy 690m2 corner block is located at the very northern end of the exclusive Elysium residential enclave. An attractive rendered and cladded façade boosts street appeal, and the floor plan is well designed to facilitate excellent family-friendly living with two separate internal living zones including light-filled north-facing lounge/media room at entry. The ultra-private alfresco entertaining and outdoor relaxation zones are truly something to behold, with expansive covered and uncovered timber decking complete with privacy screen on western side; plus, a second outdoor zone complete with built-in seat, the perfect spot for a cosy firepit to toast the good life under the sparkling stars. Current owners have meticulously maintained and improved, including extensive garden works to truly shape this space into something so peaceful, private, and lush; complementing the home’s ambience and embracing the Queensland climate and Noosa lifestyle. There is generous storage throughout, modern comforts including ceiling fans and a split system air-conditioner in main living and primary bedroom, quality window furnishings, security screens, stone benches in all wet areas, and a timelessly elegant soft coastal colour palette. A double lock-up garage with both internal and external access plus additional onsite parking on driveway is accessed via (quiet) Ironwood Lane, and there are two pedestrian gates for residents to access the neighbourhood on foot. Residents of Elysium have exclusive access to resort-style communal facilities including two floodlit tennis courts, two heated pools, BBQ areas, gymnasium, change room, and kitchen/ dining facilities. There are also walking tracks throughout including one connecting you to the Noosa Springs Golf Course and clubhouse, plus scenic pathways along the Lake Weyba waterfront reserve where you can admire the beauty and quietly observe wildlife in their natural habitats. “This property is vacant and turnkey ready for its next owners to move straight into, live and love; there is no immediate money needing to be spent, the only effort required will be unpacking and uncorking the champagne” said Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Adam Offermann. “Once inside Elysium you are immersed in a serene, private sanctuary that is world-class; within minutes to quality public and private schools, boutique dining, Noosa Main Beach, Noosa River, Noosa Civic, Hastings Street, Noosa Junction, Noosa Farmers Market, Noosa National Park.”
