What a disgrace! A refrigerator floating beneath the water, abandoned furniture, tangled nets and discarded inflatables. This is what volunteers are finding in Noosa’s waterways — and it should make every one of us angry. NICA’s River Rangers have hauled an estimated four tonnes of rubbish from the Noosa River estuary and surrounding waterways in just eight months. Across 16 clean-ups, four volunteers have put in 256 hours doing a job that should never be necessary on this scale. From plastic bait bags and fishing gear to furniture and submerged hazards capable of damaging boats, the rubbish is a shocking reminder of how carelessly some people treat our precious waterways. The problem becomes even worse after holiday periods. These volunteers are doing their bit to protect Noosa’s natural environment. The question is why they are having to do so much of it in the first place. Full story page 5

Rates crackdown By Steve Linnell About 800 ratepayer accounts are expected to be referred to a debt recovery agent as Noosa Council moves to pursue long-standing unpaid rates and charges. Noosa Council is preparing to refer about $7 million in outstanding rates and charges to a debt recovery agent this month, targeting ratepayers with long-standing debts of at least 12 months. The move comes as Council reported $11.7 million in total rates arrears at September 30, with the outstanding amount falling by almost $3.9 million during the month. A report to Council’s October 15 ordinary meeting showed total arrears of $11,717,752, equivalent to 9.2 per cent of estimated 2026/27 rates revenue of $127 million. Council had collected $57.6 million, or 50.5 per cent, of its $114 million budget for rates and utility charges by the end of September.
The report said about 800 ratepayer accounts with outstanding rates and charges totalling around $7 million were expected to be referred to Council’s appointed recovery agent during October. The initial referrals follow a review of arrears ahead of the commencement of debt recovery action under Council’s revised Rates and Charges
Debt Management and Recovery Policy. Council said the initial process would focus on long-standing and significant debts that were at least 12 months overdue. Ratepayers with approved payment arrangements or active hardship arrangements would be excluded from the initial referrals. The report said the approach was intended to balance the policy’s objectives with fairness, equity and the efficient allocation of resources. The analysis of larger debts identified $10.9 million in arrears above Council’s specified policy thresholds, spread across 2297 properties. Residential properties accounted for the overwhelming majority, owing $9.5 million, or 87.2 per cent of the total. The debt involved 2160 properties. Non-residential properties accounted for $1.31 million, or 12 per cent, across 133 properties, while four properties without a general rate
category owed a combined $88,616. The figures also revealed the age of the outstanding debt. Of the $10.9 million analysed, $1.47 million was owed within six months, while $573,899 was within one year. A further $4.22 million had been outstanding for up to three years, with almost $3 million owed for between three and six years. Another $1.66 million was more than six years overdue, involving 64 properties. Council noted that rates arrears generally followed a predictable six-monthly cycle, rising after the July and January levy periods before declining in the months afterwards. The revised recovery process is aimed at addressing persistent debts while allowing ratepayers with approved payment or hardship arrangements to remain outside the initial referral process.

There is nothing like a $6 million warehouse purchase to suggest that a business has well and truly outgrown the bedroom. The Lad Collective, founded by Brisbane brothers Bill and Ed Ovenden, has made a significant move with the reported $6 million purchase of a warehouse at 3 Production Street, Noosaville, putting the fast-growing bedding and lifestyle brand firmly on the commercial property radar. The brothers, who reside in Noosa, built their business around a deceptively simple idea: make bedtime and morning routines easier, more efficient and less of a chore. Their pitch is that bedroom and bathroom basics have remained largely unchanged for generations, and there is plenty of room to do things better. It is an interesting proposition in a market where consumers are increasingly prepared to spend on products promising convenience, comfort and a little more order in everyday life. The Lad Collective’s story also offers a reminder that behind the glossy online storefronts and carefully marketed lifestyle brands, there is a very real property question: where does a growing business store its stock, manage its operations and prepare for its next stage of expansion? Currently, their operations are based in Melbourne, however this purchase will allow them to pack and send from here in Noosa. They hope to begin operations here before Christmas. Warehousing is not always the most glamorous corner of the property market, but it is an essential one. As online retail businesses grow, the need for storage, distribution and operational space can become just as important as the products themselves. And when a business is prepared to commit millions of dollars to a warehouse, it signals confidence in its future and the value of securing the right premises. For the commercial property market, transactions such as this are worth watching. They reflect the changing needs of businesses that may have started with a simple concept but now require serious infrastructure to support their ambitions. Selling agent Jesse Howitt, senior executive commercial sales at Colliers, said: “The Noosa industrial market continues to perform strongly, with a shortage of industrial-zoned land and continued population growth underpinning long-term demand for industrial property.” “There remains a significant pool of local businesses seeking similar opportunities in Noosa. However, limited supply and affordability constraints are increasingly forcing businesses to consider neighbouring industrial estates outside the shire such as Coolum, which is a real loss for the Noosa economy.” Bill and Ed Ovenden describe The Lad Collective as a Brisbane-born venture driven by a mission to make the bed easy. That may sound like a modest ambition, but building a business around everyday essentials can be a substantial undertaking. In property, the lesson is familiar: successful businesses eventually need room to grow. Commercial v Residential Industrial and Commercial property rarely attracts the same glamour as a Noosa Heads penthouse or a Hastings Street shopfront, but it is an essential part of the local economy. Warehouses, workshops and distribution facilities support everything from retail and construction to tourism and online commerce. Without them, the businesses that keep the region operating would struggle to function. The challenge is that industrial land is a finite resource. Noosa’s environmental protections, planning framework and competing demands for land mean suitable sites cannot simply be created wherever demand emerges. That makes the availability, location and suitability of existing commercial premises increasingly important considerations for business owners and investors. For investors, the attraction of commercial property can be the prospect of rental income and longer-term capital growth. But the headline purchase price tells only part of
Celebrating seniors 3 Production Street, Noosaville (583429)
Bill and Ed Ovenden (theladcollectivewebsite: 583429) the story. Lease terms, vacancy risk, building condition, outgoings, access, zoning and the cost of future upgrades all help determine whether a property represents genuine value. The residential market presents a different challenge. For buyers hoping to enter the Noosa Shire market with a budget of $1 million, location remains one of the biggest tradeoffs. The closer buyers move towards the coast and established lifestyle precincts, the harder it becomes to secure a standalone house within that price range. The hinterland continues to offer alternatives, although buyers need to weigh commuting distances, property condition and the cost of renovations. We’ll take a look at that over the coming weeks. The price divide is also a reminder that the Noosa market is not one market. A prestige waterfront home, a modest unit, a hinterland house and an industrial warehouse attract different buyers, serve different purposes and respond to different economic pressures. One thing is clear: Noosa property is about much more than the next record residential sale. Transactions such as The Lad Collective’s reported $6 million warehouse purchase offer another way to read the market, through business confidence, demand for commercial space and the infrastructure required to support growth. It’s a side of the property story worth watching as much as the next multimillion-dollar home sale.
If you’ve ever wondered what services, activities and support are available for older people in Noosa, the Noosa Seniors Expo on Friday 30 October is the perfect place to start. The Expo will be held from 10am to 1pm at Noosa Seniors, 11 Wallace Drive, Noosaville as part of Queensland Seniors Month. It’ll bring together local organisations and support services under the one roof, making it easy to explore opportunities, meet new people and find the information you need. “We want our seniors to feel supported, valued and connected to their community and the Expo is a wonderful opportunity to bring people together in a welcoming and social setting,” Noosa Seniors Coordinator Maria Sloane said. A highlight of this year’s event will be a range of intergenerational activities involving students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College, creating opportunities for younger and older generations to connect, share experiences and learn from each another. “We’re especially looking forward to welcoming students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College. These intergenerational activities create meaningful connections, foster understanding across generations and highlight the important contribution seniors continue to make to community life.” Ms Sloane said. Visitors can enjoy live music, a sausage sizzle, morning tea and lucky door prizes while chatting with local organisations, discovering new opportunities and finding out what’s happening across the shire. Whether you’re looking for practical information, keen to try something new or simply after a great morning out with friends and neighbours, older residents and their families are encouraged to come along and join the fun. The event is funded by the Queensland Government Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety.

Parking off limits for park Lions Park at Noosa Heads will remain public open space this Christmas and not be available for overflow car parking. This will make the parkland available for families and beach goers to have more space to relax and enjoy the area during a visit to Noosa Heads. Council will increase its focus on park-andride, free public transport and traffic management over the summer holiday period to help reduce congestion in Noosa Heads. The free Loop Bus (Route 065) will again operate between the Noosa AFL grounds and Noosa Heads from 9 December 2026 to 26 January 2027. “Visitors are encouraged to make use of the free loop bus, or park at Noosa Junction bus station, and the J as alternatives to driving into Hastings Street during the peak periods,” Council’s Acting Infrastructure Services director Bill Haddrill said. More than 74,000 passenger trips were recorded on the Loop service last summer. Mr Haddrill said Council wanted to make it easier for people to choose alternatives to driving into Noosa Heads. “We’ll have a stronger focus on traffic management, improving the free bus service and providing clear, up-to-date travel information,” Mr Haddrill said. “These initiatives aim to manage congestion, improve pedestrian safety and help ensure everyone can access the Main Beach precinct as
easily as possible during the busiest time of year.” The Main Beach drop-off zone will operate after helping improve traffic flow and pedestrian and emergency vehicle access last summer. Disability parking permit spaces and emergency vehicle access will remain available throughout the holiday period. “Using this carpark as a drop-off area, with marshals on hand to assist, helps keep traffic flowing through the Hastings Street precinct roundabouts and helps reduce the long queues,” Mr Haddrill said. Council is in discussions with Tewantin Noosa Lions Club to explore options for volunteers to help assist at the drop-off zone and potentially the Park and Ride location to help those areas operate smoothly during peak periods. If Council wishes to use Lions Park for overflow car parking in the future, the State Government has recently confirmed that Council has an obligation to first prepare a Land Management Plan (LMP) for Lions Park to determine whether temporarily using the reserve for overflow car parking is appropriate. Director of Regulation and Planning Richard MacGillivray said preparing an LMP, including community consultation, could not be completed before Christmas. “Council staff will prepare a report later this year for Council’s consideration advising on the cost and timing to develop a Land Management Plan for Lions Park” Mr MacGillivray said.

Noosaville’s library closure By Steve Linnell Noosaville Library will close for three weeks from October 26 to November 15 to allow major roof repairs and infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of a new solar system. The works are expected to take about 10 weeks overall, with the library scheduled to reopen while some work is still being completed. The upgrades also include a new height safety system designed to improve safety for workers carrying out maintenance on the building. The project aims to ensure the library remains safe, sustainable and fit for purpose into the future. During the closure, library users will be unable to access the building, its collection, public computers, meeting rooms or other facilities. However, alternative services will remain available through Cooroy Library, the Mobile Library, BookShelf kiosks at Peregian and Pomona, and the Noosa Libraries eLibrary. Customers will still be able to place reservations for library items, but will need to select an alternative collection point where necessary. The Noosaville Library collection will not be available for browsing during the closure. Borrowed items can still be returned through a temporary returns chute outside the library, on the footpath between the library and Leisure Centre, next to the five-minute drop-off parking area. Returns can also be made at Cooroy Library,

Firefighting choppers go 3D By Steve Linnell Sunshine Coast-based McDermott Aviation is turning to Australian-made 3D-printed aircraft parts in a move designed to keep vital firefighting and emergency response helicopters flying. The company, Australia’s largest privately owned helicopter operator, has secured Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) approval for locally manufactured replacement parts following almost two years of engineering and testing. The approval allows Queensland aerospace engineering company Plane Support to 3D print cabin air-conditioning ducts for the Bell 214B, a heavy-lift helicopter used in aerial firefighting, flood response and other emergencies. McDermott Aviation initiated the project to establish a reliable local supply of replacement components that can otherwise be difficult to source, potentially leaving aircraft grounded while operators wait for parts. “An aircraft waiting on a component you can’t easily get hold of is an aircraft that isn’t working,” McDermott Aviation founder and president John McDermott said. “Being able to have approved parts made here in Queensland gives us far more control over that.”

The development comes as Queensland heads towards storm season and southern states prepare for bushfire season, when specialist aircraft can play a critical role in emergency operations. Plane Support engineers used 3D scanning to create accurate digital models of the original ducts before redesigning them for additive manufacturing, while maintaining their shape, fit and function. The company established a dedicated aerospace 3D-printing laboratory and worked with CASA for almost two years to demonstrate the components met airworthiness requirements.
Plane Support director of engineering Jason Hazell said reproducing the ducts presented significant technical challenges. “These are complex shapes that have to fit exactly and perform in the aircraft just as the originals do, and we had to prove every step of that to CASA,” he said. The project required the development of new procedures, quality systems and inspection methods to satisfy the regulator. Mr Hazell said the approval could provide a pathway for manufacturing other components and supporting additional aircraft types in Aus-
tralia. Mr McDermott said the milestone demonstrated the potential of local aerospace manufacturing. “Jason and his team have spent almost two years getting this right, and to now have received CASA approval is tremendously exciting news, not just from our perspective but in terms of the manufacturing capability we are developing here in Australia,” he said. Established in 1982 and headquartered on the Sunshine Coast, McDermott Aviation operates a fleet of more than 50 aircraft and employs more than 300 people globally. The company operates 15 Bell 214B helicopters and 14 Bell 214ST aircraft, and specialises in aerial firefighting, heavy lifting, agricultural spraying, infrastructure support and emergency response. McDermott Aviation also holds the type certificate for the Bell 214B and 214ST series, giving it responsibility for key aspects of the aircraft designs. The latest approval highlights how advances in 3D printing could help address aircraft parts shortages while building Australia’s domestic aerospace engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
Noosa’s future events are outlined By Steve Linnell Noosa Council is tightening its approach to events across the shire, with a new five-year strategy designed to maximise community benefits while protecting residents’ lifestyle and the region’s natural environment. The Noosa Events Strategic Framework 202631 sets out how events will be planned, assessed, funded and managed, with a focus on finding the right balance between economic and social benefits and the impacts on local communities. The framework is backed by a new Events Management Policy and a dedicated Noosa Events Executive Group, with councillors Amelia Lorentson and Jessica Phillips appointed to the group. The move follows Council’s expanded role in managing the shire’s event portfolio after major destination event sponsorship responsibilities transferred from Tourism Noosa in July 2025.
Mayor Frank Wilkie said events were an important part of Noosa’s identity but needed to be managed in a way that reflected community expectations. “Events are an important part of what makes Noosa a vibrant and connected community. They bring us together, celebrate our culture, support local businesses and contribute to our social and economic wellbeing,” he said. “At the same time, our community has consistently told us that successful events must respect our environment, public spaces and the everyday lives of residents.” The strategy identifies five priorities: improving event experiences, maximising community benefits, managing impacts, developing a balanced events portfolio and making the most of major opportunities for long-term gains. Council says resident amenity will remain central to decisions, including consideration of traffic, neighbourhood disruption, access to pub-
lic spaces, infrastructure demands and environmentally sensitive areas. The updated policy replaces the existing Events Policy and Noosa Main Beach Events Policy, while retaining current event limits and key settings for high-demand locations such as Noosa Main Beach. It also introduces clearer responsibilities for event organisers, stronger assessment and governance processes, higher sustainability expectations and improved contingency planning. About 400 permitted events, functions and weddings are held each year on Council-controlled land across the shire. The new executive group will provide strategic oversight of the events portfolio, helping guide future planning, investment and management. Mayor Wilkie said the aim was not to increase the number of events regardless of their impact. “Most importantly, this strategy sends a clear message that we’re not seeking more events at
(Supplied) 585034 01 any cost. We’re committed to supporting the right events in the right places, at the right scale and at the right time,” he said. The framework was developed following community consultation, internal workshops and targeted engagement with event organisers, businesses and industry representatives. Council said the resulting strategy would provide a foundation for future event decisions, with community experience, resident wellbeing and the protection of Noosa’s character remaining key considerations.
Council gives green light for new body Noosa Council has endorsed a draft Terms of Reference and given a greenlight to recruit members for Noosa’s first Destination Stewardship Council (DSC). The new body will bring together representatives from government, tourism, business, community and other stakeholder organisations to help deliver priority actions in the Noosa Destination Management Plan. Council endorsed the Destination Management Plan in December 2025 to better balance community wellbeing and environmental protection with a strong and well managed visitor economy.
Mayor Frank Wilkie said the new Destination Stewardship Council will help coordinate action across key organisations and sectors closely involved in managing Noosa as a destination. “Noosa’s lifestyle, environment and economy are closely connected, so it’s important we work together to manage the opportunities and challenges that come with being a popular destination,” Mayor Wilkie said. “The Destination Stewardship Council will bring together key stakeholders to track progress and support those priority projects that the community told us were important. This body will help turn the Destination Management Plan into
action.” The Draft Terms of Reference adopted by Noosa Council ensure the Destination Stewardship Council can provide informed, evidence-based advice while recognising Noosa Council’s local statutory decision-making authority remains. Council developed the draft Terms of Reference based on best practice examples from other highly regarded global destinations, in the US, Canada and Italy. The endorsement allows Council to begin recruiting members for an inaugural Destination Stewardship Council. The Destination Stewardship Council will include an independent chair-

Four tonnes of rubbish By Steve Linnell A refrigerator floating beneath the water, discarded furniture, tangled nets and abandoned inflatables are among the hazards being removed from Noosa’s waterways by a team of dedicated volunteers. NICA’s River Rangers have removed an estimated four tonnes of rubbish during 16 cleanup operations across the Noosa River estuary and surrounding waterways over the past eight months. The twice-monthly operation has involved four volunteers working four hours per collection, adding up to 256 volunteer hours dedicated to protecting the region’s waterways. Each clean-up removes an average of 250kg of rubbish, with the total volume collected estimated at about eight cubic metres. The program covers an extensive area, including the North Shore’s intertidal zones, the river above the Noosa Ferry, Lake Cootharaba, Lake Cooroibah, the Noosa Sounds and Noosa Waters. But it is not just the amount of rubbish being collected that is concerning. Among the discoveries are large furniture items and even a refrigerator floating just below the water’s surface, creating potential hazards for boats and other watercraft. Entangling ropes, nets, plywood and abandoned inflatable items are also regularly encountered, presenting risks to people using the waterways and potentially threatening wildlife. The River Rangers report that the overall
(Supplied) 584276 02 (Supplied) volume of rubbish remains relatively consistent from week to week, but the type and quantity of waste changes significantly after holiday periods. Plastic bait bags, discarded fishing gear, food containers, bottles, cans, clothing and toys increase dramatically following busy holiday periods, adding to the burden on volunteers. The findings highlight the continuing challenge of keeping Noosa’s waterways clean, particularly during peak visitor periods when recreational activity places additional pressure on the river and surrounding environment. Regular collections allow the volunteers to remove rubbish that might otherwise remain in
the water, become submerged or pose an ongoing hazard to boating and other recreational activities. The latest figures demonstrate the contribution being made by community volunteers to maintaining the health and safety of the Noosa River system. The NICA Committee would like to thank our Supporters, donors, volunteers and Noosa Council who help fund the River Rangers activities.

New fundraising initiative By Steve Linnell Noosa businesses and residents are being invited to unite behind a new fundraising initiative supporting Country Hope and the 2027 Riverina Outback Rally, following the success of this year’s rally. Proposed by New York Minute Noosa, the NOOSA GIVES BACK campaign aims to bring the local community together from October 15 to 31, with an initial fundraising target of $10,000. New York Minute Noosa representative Antony Crowther has proposed that the business match every dollar donated by customers instore throughout the campaign, helping kickstart fundraising and encourage wider community participation. The initiative is designed to build on the momentum of the Riverina Outback Rally, which has raised millions of dollars for charity since its inception. Helen, who shared information about the rally, said the 2026 event raised $571,635, with her team contributing more than $8000 to the fundraising effort. Since 2017, the rally has raised a reported $4.5 million in total. The 2027 rally, named Scoobaru, will run from March 8 to 12, travelling from Goolgowi in New South Wales to Moama while raising funds for Country Hope. Country Hope supports children and fami-
lies affected by cancer and other life-threatening illnesses across regional NSW and the ACT. Crowther said there was an opportunity to extend the fundraising effort beyond a single event and create a broader community initiative in Noosa. The proposed campaign would seek support from the Riverina Outback Rally team, former world champion surfer Josh Constable, local real estate identity Tom Offermann and his network, the Noosa Junction Association, and other local businesses and community members. Businesses could participate through direct donations, matched contributions, prizes, auction items or promotional support. The goal is to create a collective fundraising effort across the Noosa Junction precinct, with promotion planned through social media, venue screens, participating businesses and community networks. “Rather than making this solely a New York Minute fundraiser, we could create something that the entire precinct gets behind,” Crowther said. The campaign’s donation component is proposed to begin at New York Minute Noosa, with further details about Noosa Junction fundraising activities and participating businesses to follow. With a $10,000 initial target, organisers hope the initiative will harness Noosa’s community spirit to support Country Hope and help build momentum ahead of the 2027 Riverina Outback Rally.

Landslide works four months late By Steve Linnell A multi-million dollar landslide stabilisation project at Sunrise Beach is expected to be completed by the end of October, four months later than originally scheduled. Noosa Council told Noosa Today unexpected ground conditions and wet weather have delayed work near Ross Crescent, where a landslip threatened the stability of a footpath and surrounding infrastructure. Acting Infrastructure Services director Bill Haddrill said design changes were required to deal with the ground conditions, while saturated soil forced changes to construction methods. The project had been expected to be completed by 30 June. Mr Haddrill said the project remained on budget despite the extended construction period. “Minor civil works including footpath asphalting, landscaping and site demobilisation should be completed within a few weeks, weather permitting,” he said. Road, pathway and beach access points will be reinstated for public use once the project is complete. “We appreciate the revised completion date is
later than initially expected and apologise for any inconvenience this has caused,” Mr Haddrill said. Council awarded the contract to Sunshine Civil Solutions Pty Ltd at its February 19 Ordinary Meeting, with councillors unanimously approving the $2,492,858.96 contract. The project aims to provide a long-term solution to slope damage near Ross Crescent after temporary repairs and ongoing expert monitoring identified the need for more substantial stabilisation work. The construction involves removing existing materials, stabilising the embankment and protecting the footpath, stormwater systems and utilities. Non-compliant beach access points are also being removed, while Beach Access 35 will remain unchanged. Steep slopes and nearby utilities have limited construction access, requiring changes to traffic and pedestrian movements during the works. The project is part of a $3.3 million program jointly funded by Noosa Council and the Australian Government. Council’s chief executive was authorised to negotiate and execute the contract, with provision to adjust it by up to 17.57 per cent of the proj-

Robotic shoulder surgery a success By Steve Linnell A Sunshine Coast surgeon who consults at Noosa Civic Medihub has become the first in Australia to perform a reverse total shoulder replacement using the latest generation of robotic-arm technology. Orthopaedic shoulder surgeon Dr Joe Coory performed the procedure at Maroochy Private Hospital in Maroochydore on October 1, using the Mako 4 robotic-arm system developed by global medical technology company Stryker. The milestone puts the Sunshine Coast at the forefront of robotic-assisted shoulder surgery, with Dr Coory having completed more than 100 robotic shoulder replacements since introducing the technology to the region in August last year. Dr Coory, a director of Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group, consults at both Maroochy Private Hospital and Noosa Civic Medihub in Noosaville, bringing his specialist shoulder expertise to patients across the region. “It’s an honour, and humbling, to be chosen as the first in Australia,” Dr Coory said. “It’s recognition of the team we’ve built here on the Sunshine Coast and the work we’ve put into the development of robotic shoulder surgery.”
The Mako 4 system uses three-dimensional CT imaging to develop a personalised surgical plan based on each patient’s anatomy. During the operation, the robotic arm provides real-time guidance as the surgeon prepares the bone for the implant, helping the surgical team follow the pre-operative plan with precision. The technology does not replace the surgeon, who remains in complete control throughout the procedure. The latest-generation system features a larger screen, a more mobile robotic arm, an upgraded camera with a higher refresh rate and quieter operation. Dr Coory compared the upgrade to moving from an iPhone 16 to an iPhone 18 Pro Max. “The planning is the same, and the surgeon still places the implant where it’s been planned, but the process of getting there is more elegant,” he said. The technology is currently being used by Dr Coory for reverse total shoulder replacements, with plans to extend its application to anatomic total shoulder replacements. For patients, the introduction of the new system does not change the usual hospital stay or rehabilitation process. Its principal advantage is
providing the surgical team with more advanced tools to plan and carry out the operation according to the patient’s individual anatomy. The Australian-first follows the opening of Maroochy Private Hospital in the heart of the Maroochydore City Centre earlier this year. Fortius Hospitals chief operating officer Warwick Crosby said the achievement reflected the hospital’s commitment to advanced surgical technology. “Achieving a national first within months of opening highlights the dedication of our surgical team and the investment in a purpose-built healthcare facility focused on innovation and patient care,” he said. The $100 million, 10-storey hospital opened in June and has six operating theatres, advanced imaging facilities and specialist consulting suites. Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group delivers its orthopaedic services from the hospital’s ninth floor. Dr Coory said access to the latest technology on the Sunshine Coast was significant for both patients and the region’s expanding specialist healthcare sector. “It shows that major companies like Stryker are willing to invest in technological advancement on the Sunshine Coast,” he said.
Orthopaedic shoulder surgeon Dr Joe Coory (Supplied) 584255 01 “Specialist healthcare on the Coast is growing, and having this technology here means our community is part of shaping what comes next.” Stryker plans to introduce the Mako 4 system for shoulder surgery at other centres across Australia, with further capabilities expected to become available over the next 12 to 18 months. For Noosa residents, the development adds to the specialist healthcare services available locally, with Dr Coory continuing to consult at Noosa Civic Medihub while performing the robotic procedures at Maroochy Private Hospital.

Citizen of the Year Sunshine Coast residents are being urged to recognise the volunteers, community leaders and organisations making a difference, with nominations now open for the 2027 Sunshine Coast Australia Day Community Awards. Nominations close on November 30, with winners to be announced at a ceremony on January 22, 2027. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the awards celebrated people who often worked behind the scenes without seeking recognition. “Often they are quiet achievers, selflessly giving their time, energy and talents to help others. These are the people who make our region a better place to live,” Mayor Natoli said. She encouraged residents to nominate anyone who had inspired them, supported others or gone above and beyond to strengthen the community.
The awards recognise contributions across seven categories, including Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Senior Citizen of the Year, Community Group or Organisation, Arts and Culture, Healthy and Active, and Environment. Last year’s Sunshine Coast Citizen of the Year, Dr Selina Tomasich, founded global non-profit organisation Hair Aid, which helps people experiencing poverty through hairdressing training and free haircuts. Dr Tomasich said receiving the award had helped raise awareness of the organisation’s work, both internationally and in Australia. “It was a huge honour to win and provided a wonderful opportunity to share the work our organisation does to help families out of poverty,” she said. Hair Aid empowers people internationally to establish hairdressing businesses while also pro-
viding free haircuts to Australians doing it tough. Dr Tomasich said recognising people driving positive change could benefit both individuals and the organisations they supported. Mayor Natoli said residents should not assume someone else would put forward a nomination. “These awards are a special way of saying thank you to the people who help make the Sunshine Coast the vibrant, welcoming and thriving region we know and love,” she said. Nominations can be submitted through the Sunshine Coast Council website at sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au. The awards are open to nominations recognising outstanding contributions across the Sunshine Coast, with recipients to be announced ahead of Australia Day 2027.
ities on the lot, including potential cemetery expansion works. Works still in progress include completion of concrete footpaths, asphalt surfacing of the widened intersection and Pardalote Street on the development, landscaping, turfing and planting works, final spreading of mulch piles plus removal of surplus material and rubbish from the site. Dianella Court cul-de-sac has yet to be repaired from when sewerage works were commenced early in the year. Surveyors resurveyed the site on 2 October in accordance with the subdivision lots approved in May, 2025 to commence the process of creating new lots. Before new approved lots can be created, a Plan Sealing application has to be lodged with Noosa Council followed by lodgement with Titles Queensland which registers the new lots and issues Certificates of Title. While Council has an MOU with Coast2Bay for the purchase of Lot 1,
along with an agreed price, there is nothing to purchase until the Certificate of Title has been created. Operational works and construction of housing cannot commence until the Certificate of Title for the lot has been created. Work is well behind planned schedule as building was expected to commence beginning of July, 2026. Pat Spicer, Cooroy

Cooroy civil works Civil works are nearing completion with Council giving an expected finish date of 20 October, 2026. Weather during last week caused a halt in works so council’s date will not be met. Remediation of contamination was signed off in February for future Lots 1, 2 and 3 at 64 Lake Macdonald Drive. Lot 100, the land set aside for future cemetery expansion at 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, will remain on the Environmental Management Register (EMR). The Environmental Consultant could not fully test Lot 1 because the Cemetery Shed, 15 years in the planning, had been built prior to the remediation. While this is only a small area of Lot 100, the whole Lot remains on the EMR. A site management plan is being developed to ensure the site is appropriately managed during any future activ-
Grandparents It’s Seniors Month, and an unseen truth sits quietly in our neighbourhoods: more and more grandparents are carrying loads their adult children can no longer manage. Mum and Dad hadn’t planned to start parenting again, but life has tipped their son or daughter into a deep hole — illness, crisis, relationship breakdown, financial collapse, or simply the slow
erosion of coping. The knock-on effect is that more than 60,000 Australian children are being raised by their grandparents. Behind that number are older Australians who don’t complain, despite shouldering a heavy, unexpected return to responsibility at a stage of life when most hoped for rest, not repetition. It carries both love and heartbreak in equal measure. When their children were small, helping meant scooping them up, fixing the problem, smoothing the path. They were the safety net, the soft landing, the ones who made the monsters go away. But adulthood rewrites the rules. The monsters get bigger, more complicated — and rescuing them may no longer work. In its place, the hardest kind of love is stepping back – being there for them but not stepping in to do everything.

Coast hosts Veteran Games By Steve Linnell Australian veterans and serving Defence personnel will compete alongside teams from the United Kingdom and United States when the 2026 Veteran Games Finals arrive on the Sunshine Coast later this month. The two-day event will be held at Sunshine Coast Stadium on October 24 and 25, bringing together competitors for a series of physical and problem-solving challenges testing strength, teamwork and leadership. Now in its fourth year, the Veteran Games was established in response to concerns highlighted by the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, particularly the loss of purpose, identity and community many experience when transitioning out of military service. Founder and retired Special Forces Major Heston Russell said the event gave veterans something meaningful to work towards while rebuilding connections forged during their time in Defence. “Four years ago we started the Veteran Games with a simple idea: bring Veterans back together, give them something meaningful to train for and recreate the purpose, community and connection that so many of us miss when we leave Defence,” Mr Russell said. The event has expanded from its beginnings on the Gold Coast to include competitions in Darwin and the UK, with international teams now travelling to the Sunshine Coast for the finals. Defending champions the Brisbane Jackals will return, alongside the Average Joes from Ringwood RSL in Victoria, who are competing for the fourth consecutive year. They will face Darwin finalists 1CER and the Mad Snakes, Gold Coast Heat winners Veterans for Youth, UK champions Duke’s Warriors, a team from the US and other finalists from across Australia. Mr Russell said the return of teams year after year demonstrated the importance of the connections being built through the event. Brisbane Jackals captain Sergeant Troy said the camaraderie between competitors was a major reason his team continued to participate. “There’s something special about lining up alongside people from all backgrounds of service

(Supplied) 585299 03 (Supplied) 584588 05 and instantly sharing that same mindset of resilience, teamwork and backing each other,” he said. Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli welcomed competitors, families and supporters to the region, saying the Kawana Sports Precinct would provide an opportunity to celebrate the dedication and resilience of the veteran community. She said the event recognised the service and sacrifice of current and former Australian Defence Force personnel while highlighting the positive impact of physical activity, connection and teamwork. Surf Life Saving Queensland and local clubs Kawana and Mooloolaba are also supporting the finals, with volunteers and safety craft assisting with water-based activities. Spectators will have the opportunity to take part in the Veterans First Consulting Chin Up Challenge, with $5 donated towards future Veteran Games for every completed chin-up. Mr Russell encouraged families and the wider community to attend and support the competitors. “You don’t have to be competing to be part of the Veteran Games. Bring the family, get behind the teams and come and see what Veterans are capable of when we put purpose, community and service back around them,” he said. The 2026 Veteran Games Finals are presented by Veterans First Consulting. Information about spectator tickets is available through the Veteran Games website.

Mayoral Ball Raises $100,000 The 10th SunnyKids Mayoral Ball has raised $100,000 to help local families escaping domestic and family violence rebuild their lives through its Transitional Housing Project. More than 330 guests gathered at the Machjet International hangar at Sunshine Coast Airport on Saturday 17 October, with all funds raised supporting the project. The Transitional Housing Project combines safe accommodation with intensive case management and wraparound support, giving families the time and stability they need to move towards independence. SunnyKids CEO Kathleen Hope said the funds would support families through a critical period beyond the immediate crisis. “When a family leaves domestic and family violence, getting to safety is the first priority. But a safe place to stay is only the beginning,” Ms Hope said. “Families also need time, practical support and someone alongside them as they rebuild their lives. Our Transitional Housing Project brings those elements together, helping parents and children work towards a safer, more stable future. “Saturday was a wonderful night, but its impact will be felt by local families long after the hangar doors close.” The Ball brought together business leaders, philanthropists and community supporters for an
evening of premium dining, aerial performances, auctions and raffles, set against the backdrop of Machjet’s luxury aircraft. Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the result reflected the region’s enduring support for SunnyKids. “For 10 years, the Mayoral Ball has brought our community together to make a difference for local children and families,” Mayor Natoli said. “The generosity in the room on Saturday night was extraordinary. Every contribution will help SunnyKids support families taking their next steps towards safety and independence. “I’m proud to stand alongside SunnyKids and everyone who has helped make this event such a valued part of our community.” Ms Hope thanked Machjet International for again hosting the Ball, alongside the sponsors, donors, guests and volunteers who made the evening possible. She said the event also played an important role as a “friend-raiser”, introducing new supporters to SunnyKids. “The funds raised are vital, and so are the relationships that begin in that room,” she said. “Every year, people discover more about SunnyKids and find ways to contribute beyond the Ball, whether through their business, their time or their connections. “That ongoing support strengthens the village around local children and families.”

Measuring tourism’s true value on our region By Rod Ritchie, President, Cooroy Area Residents Association It seems to me that Noosa is spiralling downwards both as a place to live and a place to visit. True, some would say, you should have been here (add your own date). I’m not suggesting the place should not change over the decades, rather there should be more foresight by those planning the future about where we want to be in coming decades. More to the economy than tourism While tourism is an important part of Noosa’s economy, the economy is considerably broader than tourism. According to the Noosa Destination Management Plan (DMP), tourism represents about 16% of the shire’s economy. Tourism Noosa (TN) notes the industry directly contributes about $346 million as a value-added component to Noosa’s economy out of the $1.256 billion annual visitor spend. The shire’s total Gross Regional Product in 2023-2024 was $3.69 billion, therefore, over 80% of business output is driven by other economic activity. And since the shire has a substantial year-round economy in sectors such as health care, education, construction, professional services, retail and service industries, the economy here is less affected by the notorious seasonal and economic vagaries of tourism. The economic question for Noosa is therefore not whether tourism is valuable, it’s whether additional visitor growth produces enough additional net economic benefit to justify its additional demands on housing, infrastructure, roads, public spaces, and particularly the
ON THE SOAPBOX environment. Why should Council continue to prioritise propping up the tourism industry at the expense of ratepayers and the amenity of residents? The visitor mix is changing Noosa has an existential problem which will be difficult, if not impossible, to solve since around half of the visitation is day visitors. Future growth in SE Queensland will see the shire becoming more and more a drive destination, despite Tourism Noosa’s ongoing efforts to promote the shire as a value-over-volume visitation. The housing paradox Because there has been little resort accommodation built in the shire over the past decades, the tourism industry here has relied on massive growth short-term accommodation supply in our coastal precincts. Previous lowand medium-density residential suburbs have been converted into tourist accommodation zones. Accommodation operators were quick to take the opportunity to pivot from digital platforms aggregating home-hosted accommodation supply to acquiring whole-houses for holiday letting. By the time council sought to get state approval for new local laws aimed at
reducing this trend, the cat was out of the bag. New applications combined with existing property rights saw thousands of homes removed from owner occupation, and the fulltime rental pool become visitor accommodation. As tourism businesses needed more workers who obviously needed somewhere in the shire to find cheap rent, many of those workers had to move on and businesses had greater difficulty recruiting and retaining staff. In January 2026, council stated: “Noosa does not have a visitor accommodation shortage, but it does lack housing for the key workers who service our community and the visitor economy.” The economic cost of congestion Peak visitor demand creates additional demand for transport infrastructure and parking capacity, and that demand has an economic opportunity cost. A visitor spending two hours searching for parking isn’t generating two hours of additional economic value. Nor is a resident unable to reach a business, appointment or workplace efficiently. Therefore, a proper assessment should attempt to measure visitor related congestion which leads to lost productive time plus additional vehicle operating costs, council staff time and potential extra infrastructure expenditure which doesn’t appear on the tourism industry’s balance sheet. Economic leakage from short-term accommodation Much of the spending by visitors leaves Noosa through goods purchased from outside the region; external suppliers; corporate profits; booking platforms; external property owners; financial services; and imported products and
services. Council research shows that approximately 86% of short-stay accommodation property owners do not live in Noosa Shire. This means accommodation revenue doesn’t necessarily accrue to the local communities. Of course, not all this money leaves the shire, however, gross tourism revenue and local community benefit are not the same thing. True reporting not just rhetoric The DMP is long on rhetoric including slogans such as “We are all in this together” and “For the love of Noosa. It calls for a shift to regenerative tourism without gathering more than basic data needed to measure success. We should be measuring tourism success not by visitor numbers or gross visitor expenditure, but by net economic, social and environmental benefit per visitor. Measure and report annually the true expenditure, local employment for all industries, measure local business retention, economic leakage, as well as tourism infrastructure, maintenance, and environmental repair costs attributable to tourism. Record the extent to which residents and ratepayers benefit from, or disproportionately subsidise, an industry with is heavily subsidised by ratepayers. This would be way more meaningful than always valorising visitor numbers and visitor expenditure. This would also give Noosa residents a benchmark for planning a future not diminished by lack of access to the places we love and cherish and fought hard to retain. Finally, we are not all in this together, we are being conned into giving our shire over to those who see it as a place to exploit rather than protect.

Luxury boats up for hire Ten years ago, Dennis Algeri left behind 15 years in Brisbane real estate for a move to Noosa that was only ever meant to last a year. He arrived with one simple, slightly mischievous idea: Noosa needed boats with slides on them. In 2016, Luxury Boat Hire Noosa was launched, and a decade on, that idea has become one of the most recognisable sights on the Noosa River. From the beginning, Dennis was firm that the boats would be “100 per cent locally crafted, designed, and fabricated. Working with Noosaville’s Poly Pontoons, he built a fleet made for this river. Each boat carries the comforts that turn a few hours on the water into a proper day out: a full-size flush toilet, a sink with running water, a gas BBQ and a pizza oven. It is the kind of detail that sounds small until you have spent a summer afternoon on a sandbank with a boatload of children. The fleet has grown to suit almost every kind of group. Couples and small families can take a four-person luxury pontoon, while larger gatherings step up to eight- and twelve seat pontoons or the Noosa Elite. Then there are the boats that made the name: the Mini Slides, the Lexus Mini Slides and the flagship Slide Boat, whose upper-deck slide launches children and adults alike into the river, with room for up to 25 guests. For most boats, no boat licence is needed. Anyone aged 25 or over with a car licence can take the helm for up to 12 people. What guests really hire, though, is the river itself. From Noosa Marina in Tewantin, the boats roam more than 20 kilometres of river and canals, past Noosaville to the sandbanks near the river mouth at Noosa Heads, or north to the quiet anchorages of Richard Bransons Makepeace Island. Families bring their own food to cook on board or collect premade pizzas from Luxury

Every hire begins with a safety briefing covering the map, the best swimming and fishing spots, and how to work the BBQ and Pizza ovens, a reminder that a luxury boat hire here also means peace of mind. The industry has noticed. Locals voted it Noosa’s number one luxury boat hire in 2022. It was named Best Luxury Boat Hire in Queensland at the LUXlife Global Excellence
Awards in 2023, then took out Best Luxury Boat Hire Experience in Queensland at the Australian Enterprise Awards in both 2024 and 2025. Yet the accolades tell only part of the story. The real measure of 10 years is in the reviews that mention the team by name, the families who return every holiday, and the birthdays, reunions and lazy Sundays spent drifting between the sandbanks. Dennis once said he was only meant to stay a year, but he is “still here doing what I love”. Ten years on, Noosa is all the better for it. Here’s to the next decade on the water.

Muster raises record By Steve Linnell The Gympie Music Muster has raised a record $150,880.88 for prostate cancer awareness, with festival-goers, volunteers and businesses rallying behind a message that could save lives. The 2026 event raised the money for charity partner Get Yourself Checked, founded by Followmont Transport owner Mark Tobin and Brett “Knuckles” Hanly from CTC Country Trucker Caps to encourage men to take prostate cancer seriously and seek early detection. The fundraising total surpassed the Muster’s previous record, with money flowing in through armband refunds, container recycling, auctions, raffles and direct donations. The event also broke its own record for container collections, with 452,687 cans and bottles returned through Containers for Change, beating last year’s record of 374,512 by more than 78,000 containers. Gympie Music Muster chief executive Greg Cavanagh said the result demonstrated the generosity of the festival community and its commitment to supporting the charity’s work. “Raising more than $150,000, our highest total to date, is outstanding and shows how deeply our festivalgoers value and support this important cause,” he said. Nearly $50,000 came from unclaimed armband refunds, while recycling cans and bottles generated more than $45,000. The Pratley guitar auction raised $24,000, the Get Yourself Checked boat raffle brought in $19,000 and Military Brotherhood donated $10,000 through its doughnut sales. More than $2000 was donated in cash, while Get Yourself Checked alley wall stickers raised $1500 and Aussie Footy Shorts contributed $330. But for Mr Tobin, the value of the Muster extended well beyond the dollars raised. He said the event gave the foundation an opportunity to reach men and families who might not otherwise have engaged with the

The team spoke with families who shared their experiences of prostate cancer, including one whose father had been diagnosed in his early 40s. Mr Tobin said those conversations reinforced the importance of encouraging men to speak to their doctors about testing rather than putting it off. “We want people to understand that you don’t have to die from this disease if you get it early enough,” he said. “It’s about getting people talking, looking after themselves and getting themselves checked. We want men to understand that it’s

a simple blood test, and it could save your life.” Prostate cancer awareness is particularly important for men as they age, with the foundation urging them to discuss their individual risk and appropriate testing with their GP. Container Exchange (COEX), the not-forprofit organisation operating Queensland’s Containers for Change scheme, congratulated the Muster on achieving what it said was the biggest container-return event in the scheme’s history. COEX spokesman Joe Fitzgerald said the event demonstrated how festivals could reduce waste while raising money for charity. The record result capped a successful fundraising effort for the Muster, where the combination of community spirit, recycling and a clear health message helped put prostate cancer awareness in front of thousands of people.

The Guide WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS SBS2, Friday, 8.30pm
Traditional vampire storytelling is turned on its head in this horror comedy, created by Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement, which follows the everyday lives of supernatural beings in modernday Staten Island. Sure, they sleep in coffins, turn into bats and drink blood, but they also have to keep the house clean. Based on the 2014 film of the same name, the series garnered 35 Emmy Award nominations over its six-season run. In Friday’s playful free-to-air premiere, a documentary crew meets human familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), his master Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak, pictured left with Guillén), and their roommates Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin (Mark Proksch).
Making a move: Mel Tracina and Big Brother head to Brisbane.
PICK OF THE WEEK BIG BROTHER AUSTRALIA 10, Monday, 7.30pm
The bright lights of Vegas are calling for Big Brother host Mel Tracina this year… BrisVegas, that is. Leaving the Gold Coast compound behind for a custom-built house at Screen Queensland Studios, Australia’s original reality format has a brand-new playground for its fresh cast to explore. But just because Big Brother has an opulent new home (and a muchneeded roof for the live stage), don’t think he wants his guests getting comfortable. From night one, viewers will have more power than ever to shake up the game and keep the housemates on their toes. The mind games begin on Monday when Tracina introduces BB’s new playthings before sending them through the front door.
SCRUBLANDS: SILVER Nine, Sunday, 9.30pm
Journalist Martin Scarsden (Luke Arnold, pictured) does the one thing he swore he’d never do – return to his hometown – in the second season of this dark Aussie crime thriller adapted from Chris Hammer’s novel Silver. But just as Martin settles into a new life nearby with partner Mandy (Bella Heathcote), a childhood friend is murdered. With all clues leading back to Mandy, Martin is in a race against time to clear her name and find the real culprit. In Sunday’s penultimate chapter, local police prepare to lay charges, Martin uncovers an extortion plot and a memorial is the target of a mass poisoning. This slow-burn mystery will keep you guessing until the last minute.

A little bit of indulgence.
In for one spooky treat By Tania Phillips If you’re a sucker for High Tea – this one is to die for. This October QT Gold Coast has a trick and a treat for those of us who love the tradition of high tea and are pretty partial to “spooky season” too. So, when a friend asked me to be her plus one I knew I wasn’t going to turn her down (she knows my weakness). QT is billed as a vibrant, designer luxury hotel located at 7 Staghorn Avenue in Surfers Paradise, Queensland – a block back from the famous beach, not far from a G Link Tram stop that can take you along the coast to Burleigh and out to the train station to Brisbane. The last time I was there was for a wedding and to indulge in the well-known buffet. This place is about good food and relaxing and switching off with a day spa and pool, cafe’s and bar to enjoy when you aren’t taking in the rest of the Coast. However the drawcard this time for us was the High Tea – it’s my thing – if there’s a high tea I’ll find it but it has to feature good tea, made well on leaf tea (no tea bags and stainless-steel railway pots for me) and as I’m not the biggest sweet tooth, the savoury offerings have to be as nice as the sweets - if not better. Inspired by the spirit of Halloween the hotel’s Fixx Cafe, has transformed their traditional High Tea into “a decadent celebration of seasonal
Trick or Tea? A little touch of magic on the Gold Coast. sweets, savoury surprises and spellbinding sips” for October - according to their press release. With a tea (and coffee) menu to please the biggest tea snobs (i.e. me) and some fabulous surprises along the way, this is something a little different but no less decadent than the traditional fare. First out is an iced tea with syringes of straw-
berry syrup so you can adjust the sweetness, garnished with lychees and blueberries to resemble eyeballs and then a tower of sweet treats looking like caldrons, zombies fingers and a fabulous handcrafted gravestone wagon wheel (lemon shortbread, fresh marshmallow and raspberry jam). Next to all that, a savoury tower of decadent
sandwiches and pastries including the best devilled egg sandwich I’ve had in a longtime. Each piece has been designed by QT’s pastry and culinary team and I think they had as much fun designing it as we had eating it. There’s two tea-for-one pots included – though even I only got through one and of course there is espresso coffee for those of you that have to indulge. The table with plenty of Halloween props to add to the occasion. This was a fun experience, perfect for part of a weekend away on the Gold Coast with the kids or the girls. And a nice way to relax and have a bit of Halloween fun. The nice thing is that QT Gold Coast is situated 50 metres from the beach within easy walking distance of shopping, restaurants and nightlife. The hotel is around 40-minute drive to Coolangatta airport and within easy driving (or in some cases tram) distance to golf courses, theme parks, nature and wildlife reserves. Trick or Tea Halloween QTea: $74 per adult. Served with tea, espresso coffee and our signature colour-changing Halloween tea. For the little monsters: $39 per child (aged 5–12 years old). Served with a selection of spooky sweet and savoury treats. For more information head to bookings_qtgoldcoast@evt.com or call 07 5584 1243.

Emperor among concertos on show Noosa Orchestra will bring its 2026 concert season to a thrilling conclusion with An Emperor Among Concertos, featuring two soloists, a celebrated symphony and an orchestral overture certain to create a buzz. At the heart of the program is Beethoven’s magnificent Piano Concerto No. 5, known as the Emperor Concerto, featuring soloist Harrison Wockner. Renowned for its dramatic opening, serene, hymn-like second movement and exhilarating finale, the work showcases Beethoven’s mastery of orchestral and piano writing. Mr Wockner said its appeal lies in its complex emotional range. “It’s an extraordinary work and enjoyable from start to finish. It showcases a wide range of musical character and emotion.” The concerto’s second movement holds particular personal significance for Mr Wockner. “The second movement is so serene and lovely. It means a lot to me personally as it’s actually one of my mum’s favourite works.” Also taking centre stage is Noosa Orchestra’s own Melissa Campbell, performing Austrian composer Johann Albrechtsberger’s Alto Trombone Concerto in B-flat major. Albrechtsberger was a leading composer and teacher of the Classical period, and was a mentor to Beethoven. His concerto offers audiences an opportunity to discover the trombone’s expressive and lyrical qualities beyond its familiar bold orchestral sound. Ms Campbell said she hoped to show the trombone can be as soulful and romantic as any string instrument. “The trombone has been likened to the human voice and it’s this aspect I most enjoy when

Steeped in Lutheran tradition, the work culminates in the hymn Ein feste Burg – “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” – in a stirring Romantic orchestral finale. Ralph Vaughan Williams’ overture, The Wasps, inspired by the movement and sounds of the insects, adds energetic orchestral colour and a distinctly English character to the program. Music director and conductor Antoni Bonetti said the concerts bring the orchestra’s musical
journey across the eras to a fitting conclusion. “Our end of year program needed a vision of completion.

Theatre loses a loved one Sunshine Coast theatre producer John Bailey, co-founder and executive producer of Jally Entertainment, has died suddenly, leaving behind a legacy of professional theatre and a devastated family. His wife and creative partner Alli described John as her soulmate and best friend, paying tribute to his exceptional business acumen, creativity and commitment to bringing live theatre to audiences across Australia. The couple established Jally Entertainment in 2003 to serve Sunshine Coast audiences before developing the company into a professional touring operation, producing shows without government assistance. Over the years, Jally Entertainment toured numerous productions nationally, including Calendar Girls, The Full Monty, Menopause The Musical, Mother & Son and Margaret Fulton – The Musical. The company also developed a strong reputation for interactive, educational children’s theatre, with productions including Snowy and the Seven Cool Dudes, Cinderella Spinderella and Goldilocks Rocks. With a background in building, John designed and constructed elaborate sets for the company’s productions. His work also helped provide ongoing employment and opportunities for actors, directors and technicians, many of whom adored him. The couple particularly cherished touring regional and remote communities, where live entertainment was often limited, and introducing young children to their first theatre experience. John had recently encouraged his wife to complete a musical comedy script eight years in the making, hoping to stage it next year. Without him by her side, she said, she could no longer imagine bringing the production to life.

Being forced to re-evaluate the way in which they provide fresh milk to consumers has had a positive outcome for Mary Valley dairy farmers, the Rozynski family. ERLE LEVEY goes to the Imbil property to talk with the family, and with John Cochrane of Kenilworth Dairies who is helping bring the One Farm milk label to the market.
It’s just the Beez Neez By Erle Levey Out of adversity comes opportunity. It’s a timeworn saying and in the case of the Rozynski family at Imbil has proven to be a lifeline for their dairy farm and herd of 1200 cattle. At a time when the sense of community is at risk in many towns due to convenience, when food is being seen as a commodity instead of a healthy source of energy, the Mary Valley farmers have joined forces with a nearby processor to ensure their fresh milk can make it to the kitchen table. After facing disaster on a number of fronts, the Rozynski family has found an 11th-hour solution in the form of John Cochrane at Kenilworth Dairies - 20km away. A month ago it appeared the Imbil farm and the 1200 Brown Swiss dairy cattle would fall off a cliff into economic ruin. Jason Rozynski is a third generation dairy farmer, with the fourth generation now becoming involved in carrying on the farm that was established 80 years ago. At the Imbil farm, he told me their future had been thrown into serious doubt when the yearly milk contract was abandoned by a Maleny processor, with the regulation three months notice provided. The family was desperate to find another processor to take them on. This was after 10 years of supplying the processor, Maleny Dairies, who maintain the decision was due to commercial considerations regarding market volatility and milk volume fluctuations. The upshot would have been breaking up the 1200 head of Brown Swiss cattle - the herd having been built up by Jason over 20 years because of their high protein milk. Maleny Dairies clarified that the cancellation was completely unrelated to public discussions surrounding their use of interstate milk traders to handle seasonal supply shifts. This comes six months after farmers, processors and the state government launched the 20262032 Queensland Dairy Plan, aimed at lifting the volume of milk produced in the state by five percent. Queensland does not produce enough milk to meet domestic demand, but there is an oversupply which many farmers attribute to a flood of milk coming in at low prices from interstate. The dairy industry has been a pillar of the Gympie region economy for generations. The Rozynski family produces about 3.3 million litres of milk annually from their two Beez Neez farms. Both Jason and John had expected another big processor to come in and take up the contract, but that didn’t eventuate. With the benefit of foresight as well as knowledge of the dairy industry built up over their lifetimes, the two were able to come up with a plan to save the farm. At the last minute John Cochrane and his team at Kenilworth Dairies stepped in to bottle their milk under a new single-origin label. It also meant that all of the milk would come from the one breed of cows, ensuring the quality Brown Swiss cattle have been known for as a breed that dates back 1000 years. Just 15 days after the all-clear, the Rozynski’s and John Cochrane celebrated the first delivery of their One Farm bottled milk. For John, his team achieved the impossible in such a short space of time, having to change the production line as well as expanding the cold room to meet the extra demand. Distribution also had to be considered, due to the demand with enquiries coming from throughout Southern and Central Queensland for the milk. John is hoping to be able to process most of the 11,000 litres of milk the family is producing from their 600 Brown Swiss milking cows every day. The Rozynski’s have 420 acres on the home property and some leased blocks on which they run many of their replacement heifers. The second property is the other side of Imbil. “We’ve got two dairies and run about 600 head on this one,’’ Jason said, “and about 1200 all up with replacement heifers and dry cows.’’ Driving onto the property, you can picture what Jason’s grandfather Harry Rozynski discovered all those years ago when he came across the creek.

They want fresh. They want to look the farmer in the eye. They expect to see where it comes from - they want to see the block of dirt.” “He saw the red soil and the big water hole and he said ’Yeah, this will do me.’ “He worked his whole lifetime to clear it - dug all the roots out and put fires underneath the stumps to clear some of the trees.’’ Jason’s father Gary continued the dairy farming, but with holstein cattle. The pasture is usually blends of rye grass but also a mix of rye grass and chicory. “The chicory uses a bit less water, and is a higher protein. We don’t have to fertilise it as regularly and the cows just love it - it is very digestible, so just a good all-round feed and it’s supposed to be good for the soil as well.’’ The reason behind the switch to Brown Swiss from holstein came about for a number of reasons. It is one of the oldest dairy cattle breeds in the world, originating in the Swiss Alps more than 1000 years ago. Jason chose them for the milk yield and quality, also for their temperament and ease of calving. They have a high annual milk production that contains about four percent butterfat and 3.5 percent protein. For cheese making it is the ideal fat-to-protein ratio and quality level. The cattle are exceptionally calm, gentle, and docile, making them easy to handle. They also display a high heat tolerance compared to other dairy breeds, and strong resistance to common diseases. Watching them graze in the paddock, they are very inquisitive cattle. “Nosey,’’ Jason said. “If you leave a gate open they’ll be right onto it.’’ The high protein level is what gives the milk its flavour as well as health benefit. Other breeds of cattle can have a protein-to-fat count of 700 and 800kg to 1000kg, yet the Brown Swiss have 900kg protein to 1000kg. “We used to have friesians back when my dad was running the show, and then I ruined it on him with the Brown Swiss. “I bought my first bulls over 20 years ago from a mate up at Biggenden, and then we’ve just gone heavily Brown Swiss to build up the herd that’s probably really all pure Swiss now. “We were farming commercial holsteins and there were calving issues as well not handling the heat in Queensland that well. “We started cross-breeding the Brown Swiss cows. They have always been the dearest to buy at an auction and were always hard to get.
“Whenever an auction came up we would go anywhere in Queensland - a lot of people had a percentage of Brown Swiss in their herds. “As well as those cows we bred some of our own, then we brought embryos in from France, Germany and America. “We’ve been playing with a lot of that. A few bulls are our own but generally they’re all imported embryos.’’ It was a massive investment for the family, to switch herds on top of the infrastructure needed in running the farm. Yet the transition didn’t take place in one go, as the herd was built up as other breeds were phased out. “It has been a very expensive hobby,’’ Jason said. “I’d never followed cow breeding or anything like that. “We were commercial breeding - so we bought a cow with milk, and milked her. “Breeding a single herd has been all new, but we have a pretty good base here to work from. “Dad had been to plenty of auctions with me and had seen how the Brown Swiss sold. “To be honest, he was a bit skeptical at the start. But if you were to ask him now what his thoughts were - and he’s told me many times, as much as it probably hurts him too - that we made the right decision . “I don’t think we’d be in this position now, and during the time with Maleny Dairies, if we didn’t have the Brown Swiss quality milk. The deregulation of Queensland’s dairy industry in 2000, ended state-based pricing, volume controls, and milk quotas, exposing local farmers to a national, competitive free market. Removing administrative pricing allowed milk to move freely across state borders, causing initial farmgate prices in Queensland to drop by roughly a third. The introduction of major supermarket “dollar-a-litre“ discount wars in 2011, combined with other challenges such as costs, put sustained longterm pressure on profit margins. When the market deregulated, Queensland had roughly 1580 dairy farms. Today, that number has dropped to about 220 farms. While the idea of one-farm milk is not new since deregulation - few remain in South East Queensland, John said. “It comes down to the different skills needed farmers farm, and processors process. “The cost of time and money for a single farmer to compete is restrictive in a free market.
“Processors can enable economies of scale to minimise the individual cost to the farmer.’’ John has been in dairying all of his life, apart from seven or eight years as a butcher in Gympie, and said the point of difference in having one farm and one herd was that the quality and freshness were not diminished as with large processors, where the milk from different producers was collected by tanker and blended. At the same time, the One Farm label will give positive exposure of the Mary Valley to the rest of Queensland, as well as Australia on the quality of what is produced in the region. The investment of capital as well as time of farmers nowadays is remarkable - with the cost of the land, the infrastructure, the sheds, the vats, the farm implements, irrigation, and the cattle themselves as well as the genetics. Then there’s the bank loan to consider. Having been on the dairy board, John could see the changes ahead in the industry and did something about it by keeping Kenilworth Dairies running. What started in 1952 when the Kraft Corporation established the factory to manufacture bulk cheese, saw former factory employees and local backers continue it as Kenilworth Country Foods until 2017. Sixth-generation dairy farmer John Cochrane acquired the facility in June 2017, rebranded it as Kenilworth Dairies, expanded product lines, and added on-site processing facilities to begin local milk bottling in 2020. Both Jason and John were expecting the big processors to come in and help the family out, but at the last minute John realised he needed to get things organised. It was something few could see coming, especially the thought of having to disperse the herd. “Try being on our side of the fence,’’ Jason said, “to get hit by: ’We’re not renewing the contract.’ “It’s something we didn’t expect. Especially when we’d been there for 10 years and every year was very similar in the way the contract would be sent in early June, and not to have heard anything different. “Then to be told 13 days before the end of our contract they we’re not renewing it. “We were given the 90 days notice. The trouble was, it came at the time of year that everybody’s got milk. “So it was difficult for us to go anywhere else because you are complicating other milk companies. “We were hoping they could extend us a few months until everybody was short of milk. “What’s so difficult out of all this is the timing of the year on top of the Parmalat factory closure in South Brisbane.’’ Standing in the paddock at Imbil, surrounded by the Brown Swiss cows, John and Jason reflected on the industry. John said it was refreshing to see quality local fresh milk coming from the herd. “We get the milk delivered to the factory this afternoon. We’ll put it in bottles tomorrow and it will be on the shelves the next day. “It will be so much fresher than milk coming from who knows where - and you can taste the difference. “So if you want a fresh food to come down unadulterated, as it comes out of the cows and into the bottle, you can’t get better milk than that.’’ Deliveries in the first three days were from Burpengary to Goomeri and Gympie at the moment. Independent supermarkets from Central Queensland and north to Rockhampton are wanting to stock it. “We’re getting swamped with orders,’’ John said. “We’ve never seen this before. “I could say the response has been overwhelming - and all these words - but who would’ve been game enough to have a prediction and be right? “We’re getting shops selling out in four hours. We gave them what they ordered and it still sold out, and I thought that was going to last them two or three days. “It was a matter of going on their best estimates, and we also also had to go on orders. So whoever ordered whatever, they got it.’’ The milk is being sold in two-litre bottles at the moment but there are plans to include three-litre containers. Friday, 23 October, 2026 NOOSA TODAY 25

Pickleball a hit Members of the Noosa Pickleball Club joined together recently with Pickleball players and clubs from all over the world to celebrate this amazing fast growing, social sport. Treated with a visit from Pickleball Queensland Committee Member Rykie Louw, from Brisbane, the club encouraged members to dress up and join a social session at The Ol-
ive. The club used this opportunity to officially welcome their new mascot “Dinky” the Brush Turkey. NPC Committee Member Desley Arnold said: “Our members have been playing as the ‘Noosa Turkeys’ locally and at tournaments for a while, with some perfecting the sound and the scratch!
“Choosing the brush turkey was an obvious choice with it already been used by the Tourism office and many businesses in the area.” “We have been purchasing local Noosa Shirts with Turkeys on them but are now ready to go bigger and have a new club shirt designed. I’m sure our sponsors will enjoy having their name associated with this iconic local,” she said.
Fast cars at Noosa There have been many fast cars at Noosa The Hill over the last 29 years and the Summer event being held in November will be no exception. Ford’s Sierra is well known in Australia due to its success on the circuits around the Nation, especially at Bathurst. This year Kevin Hinchliffe has entered his Ford Sierra Cosworth which he has successfully campaigned in a range of events around Sydney, Newcastle, Canberra and most recently at Leyburn Queensland. It will be his first visit to the Hill at Gyndier Drive. Kevin said: “I have never raced at the Hill but it has been on my bucket list for some time and I hope to make it a regular event”. The Sierra is easy to spot as it is in the Monte Carlo colours of two times World Rally Champion
(Supplied) Miki Biasion, grandstands/viewing areas are located at the start line, Turn 2, Turn 4 and at Turn 8 making it easy for spectators to catch a glimpse of
the cars in action. Noosa Summer Hill climb is on 14 and 15 November.
Noosa Lions Premier Women’s player Kelley Loader has been named Football Queensland’s Female Community Coach of the Year after an outstanding contribution to football as a player, coach and referee. The 19-year-old Noosa resident has made her mark on the local game, guiding an Under-11s team through an undefeated season while continuing to play at senior level. Her young team trains twice a week at Giraween and plays matches on Saturdays at venues across the Sunshine Coast. The award recognises not only Kelley’s coaching ability but also her leadership and commitment to developing the next generation of players. Her achievement comes after a strong season for the Noosa Lions Premier Women, who reached the grand final before narrowly losing 4-3 in a penalty shootout. The run to the final provided an example for the club’s younger players of what can be achieved through hard work, commitment and teamwork. Kelsey spent two years with Wanderers FC in the National Premier Leagues competition at Buderim before returning to the Noosa Lions women’s team. She has also represented Queensland in futsal, earning selection in the Under-17 Girls squad for the 2025 National Futsal Championships in Melbourne after playing for Nambour-based Sunshine Coast Wave. But her involvement in football extends well beyond playing and coaching. At just 13, Kelsey completed referee training and became one of the youngest officials on the field, going on to referee matches most weekends across the Sunshine Coast as well as tournaments in Brisbane. In 2024, she was named Referee of the Tournament in recognition of her performances and professionalism. Her progression from young referee to senior player and award-winning coach highlights the opportunities available to women and girls across football. While encouraging more girls to take up sport remains important, developing female coaches, referees and leaders is also vital to the future of the game. Kelley’s achievement provides a local example of how young people can make a contribution both on and off the field, helping strengthen the club and inspire the next generation of footballers.

A day to remember TALKING SPORT RON LANE Saturday 17 October 2026 was nothing short of sensational for Noosa Heads SLSC and is sure to go down in surf sports history as a day to remember. While several of the club’s boat crews battled for honours at Dicky Beach, ironwoman Electra Outram and her coach, Sharlene Kelly, set out at Coolangatta to claim the sport’s most coveted trophy, the 25.6km event, the Coolangatta Gold, for the second-year running. And she did just that. The event, for which she is coached and guided by Sharlene Kelly, and Mike Janes, consists of ski, runs (3 of ), swim and board legs, saw Electra 90 seconds off the front pack, after the ski leg. She reigned in some seconds in her run leg, and managed to hold that in the swim, reeling in more time on the next run. She then flew onto her board, to pull up to a one wave gap between her and first, coming into the last run leg: which is her favourite part of the Coolangatta gold. She then passed the girl, within the first 100 meters to pull into first place, well over one meter in front. Then for the second year in a row the Coolangatta Gold belonged to Electra Outram and her coaching panel, of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club. The day before the Gold was the Coolangatta Sprint and Darcy Lewis won the elite male and Trelisa Chate managed to finish in the top ten in the elite female sprint. Then on Sunday in the Coolangatta Dash, (run swim, run) Darcy Lewis came 2nd in the Elite Male and Ollie Price finished 3rd in the U17 Male. In the Coolangatta Youth Challenge U11, Arlo Moore-Barton finished 3rd, with six other Noosa competitors placing in the top 10. It was a tough start for Finella Gibbs, who made her professional series debut in the 25.6 km event and finished well back in the pack. Although she has raced a few times before, this was her first race as a professional athlete. Meanwhile back at Dicky Beach on the Sunshine Coast, the boat crews, under the guidance of Boat Captain Mick Curwen, were making an impressive start to their competitive season, producing some excellent results in challenging surf conditions. With several new rowers joining the crews, this season the carnival provided the first opportunity to test their preparation against other clubs. Despite a nasty wind and a tricky shore break, that proved difficult to negotiate, our crews showed plenty of determination, composure and promise. The U19 boys led the way, taking first place in their age division after a strong performance. The U19 girls also enjoyed a successful outing finishing third following some excellent racing against a large and talented group of competitors. The masters crew continued their strong showing for Noosa, securing a second- place finishing in their division. While the results were encouraging, the challenging conditions made the carnival an early season test for all crews. The combination of strong winds and difficult shore break demanded careful decision making, good communication and teamwork particularly for those crews still learning and gaining experience together. All in all, it was a highly successful day for the Noosa boaties, with every crew performing strongly and reaping the rewards of their pre-season training. Now that the first carnival is done, the crews will focus on the coming weeks, aiming to build on these results, strengthen their combinations and keep improving as the season unfolds. The early signs are promising, and the Noosa Boaties will be looking forward to seeing what the remainder of the season brings. The next carnival is on the 7 November and will be held at Tugan. The Other Side of the Coin In the world of sport, the other side of the coin is definitely the fun factor. On Saturday the members of the Noosa Pickleball Club joined together with Pickleball players from all over the world to celebrate this amazing fast-growing sport.

Another sad Farwell Once again, the old boys of the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving club are called upon to bid a sad farewell to a veteran member, John Fancourt. John recently passed away and this solid outspoken clubbie will not be forgotten. A good patrol captain, and a member of many talents, who would not hesitate to speak his mind: and above all was always to help a club mate. John is survived by his beloved wife Margaret, brother
Errol, also a member of the Noosa club, plus his sons, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Away from the beach, he also served his country as a member of the Australian army reserve, rising to the rank of Captain in the 25th/49th Battalion, Royal Queensland Regiment. This was an experience that forged his lifelong bedrock of iron discipline, fierce loyalty and expectation that things be done properly. He served his community as a long serving clubbie and his country as an officer in the Army Reserve. Who could ask for anything more! Via Con Dios, old friend Via Con Dios.

Johnson last Friday. Why? Well, in quiet and deserved celebration of a small but important victory. As Reid continued: “Save First Point and the surfers of Noosa have had a watershed moment today. We were able to get the sand pump cage moved another 30 metres west of First Point. It now faces closer to true north and is located approximately in-line with the boardwalk on the western side of First Point. We would like to acknowledge the diligence of Julie and Stefanie from Noosa Council for organising the shift. Well done, Noosa Council.” I was out of town during the leadup and on the day, so this is a belated thank you to SFP for all the energy they have put into preserving the surfing amenity of our most treasured point break.

It doesn’t make me feel too happy when this column turns into an obituary page, but the surfing world has been rocked these past couple of weeks by the passing of too many luminaries, none more luminescent than Hawaii’s Larry Bertlemann, better known as “Rubberman”. When I first met Larry 51 years ago he was still a teenager – only just – but he was already a phenomenon, cover boy (there were no cover girls, yet) on every major surf magazine around the world, star of Hal Jepsen’s soon-to-be-released ‘Super Session’, third in the 1972 World Titles at 17, US champ the following year, recognised as the originator of a new, low-centre-of-gravity style that would change the direction of both surfing and skateboarding. So, I suppose Rubberman had every right to keep Tracks Mag photographer, Frank Pithers, and me waiting in Ala Moana Park for an hour or more that afternoon in June 1975 while he ripped the bag out of a crowded, windswept Ala Mo Bowl, but jeez I made him pay for it! I don’t know why I was so mean to Larry, not so much in that first Tracks article but in what came later. There was no personal animosity that I can recall, I just felt that such early fame had turned him into a whinger and whiner whose only redeeming attributes were extraordinary talent, a precocious vision of what might be, and a wicked sense of humour. On balance, I should have been nicer, then in Tracks and a few years later in a Surfer profile, where I wrote: “Modest is not the word that springs to mind in connection with Larry Mahau Bertlemann, 24. Unassuming doesn’t fit either. Bertlemann has—and he’ll be the first to admit it—an outrageously overblown ego. He also has an overblown, almost weird ability to set new standards in performance surfing. Erratic and often just plain ugly to watch, Bertlemann will occasionally explode into a manoeuvre that defies not only gravity but rational expectations as well. He is a truly gifted surfer who will stand out in the history of the sport as one of the originals, and yet he will never grace the record books. Too erratic, unpredictable and inconsistent to ever pose a real contest threat, Bertlemann’s dynamic presence on the pro circuit nonetheless often generates more excitement than the event itself.” And that remained true well into the next decade, where his whirly-bird approach blew minds in all kinds of surf. But he had also become a royal pain for the IPS, ASP and event directors. As I put it in the Surfer article: “The man is an enigma. In 1978, he endeared himself to Australian contest officials by telling them he could be making more money posing for pictures at the Big Surf wave pool in Arizona. In 1979, he befriended a television crew and staged a public confrontation over the wearing of official contest shorts [at the Stubbies]. Look, he’s a talented, crazy, almost likeable pain in the butt. He says he’s making $80,000 a year, and I for one don’t believe him. [This was a long time ago.] Still, he is doing quite nicely, thank you; better than most of the guys who constantly thrash him on the circuit. Work that one out.” Roll on the years. Larry has his moments with the law – even doing some time for armed robbery and pulling a gun on a bartender – works his way through two marriages and two divorces, has kids, then becomes a grandpa with a pronounced limp from all that circular pressure on his lower body. And he comes back into my life when Andy McKinnon brings him to the Noosa Surf Festival. And guess what? He charms everyone he meets. It was a roller coaster kind of surf stardom which I suppose is appropriate, but anyone who saw him surf at his peak will never forget the Rubberman. Vale, Berts, gone too soon at 71. First Point saved… again “Reasonable results come from responsible conversations.” So posted Save First Point co-founder Reid
Sunny.

REFLECTIONS ON A STRONG COMMUNITY PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY A true example of the community feel there is at Sunshine Beach and neighbouring Sunrise Beach was on show last Saturday. A five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 28 Sobraon St in Sunrise went to auction with Erica Newton of Tom Offermann Real Estate. This was a deceased estate with a lovely story behind it. It was the home of Kenneth and Wendy Heinze and I met them in 2003 when the multilevel house won Queensland Master Builders awards at regional and state level for the way it took advantage of the position and aspect - overlooking the foreshore reserve dividing Sunshine and Sunrise, with the ocean beyond. Kenneth and Wendy had the house in meticulous condition back then, and it was the same on auction day. With no family to leave his estate to, the late owner Kenneth generously chose for the sale proceeds to go to Royal Flying Doctor Service, LifeFlight Foundation, The Smith Family Charity and St Andrew’s Church. An expansive model train set had been previously donated to another Noosa charity organisation. Designed by Ken Robinson, with ocean views, a rooftop terrace and the beach just a short stroll away, it’s a truly special home in a location that rarely becomes available, Erica Newton said. In a cul-de-sac and offering 552sq m of living, the house is set on an elevated 608sq m. Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald saw bidding go from $3m, then with buyer agent Darren Neal to $3.6m. “We sell today,’’ the auctioneer reminded those other registered bidders. “I call it once, twice, a third and final time. Sold.’’ The buyer was from neighbouring

86 Panorama Dve, Doonan: Three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house on 5265sq m. Auction 3pm Saturday, 24 October. Sunshine Beach. GETTING IN ON GROUND FLOOR Rarely offered and a brilliant opportunity for a permanent residence or an investment. A two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car ground-floor apartment at Noosaville was offered to the market on Saturday by Anita Nichols of Laguna Real Estate. The apartment, at 3/120 Hilton Tce, attracted considerable local interest but also from Sydney and Melbourne. “There were several locals that really loved the property but were not in a position to bid,’’ Anita said. “We had Southerners as well. There were about six people from Victoria, including the Mornington Peninsula. “They loved being on one level. It is configured as one bathroom now but was originally a two-bathroom apartment. “Having been changed into an office, it can be easily reconfigured back into a second bathroom.’’ In a complex of six with pool and low body corporate fees, the north-facing apartment featured a courtyard and balcony that looked over the expanded foreshore reserve to the river. A crowd of about 30 attended the auction, held in the living area and on the balcony with Justin Voss calling for bids. “Where do we start? Let’s kick it off at $1m.’’ Newcomers at the door confused the auctioneer as to whether it was a bid or simply a wave. Then at $1.20m the auctioneer made his famous call: “Yibbida, yibbida, that’s all folks.’’ The buyer was from Sydney, moving up to relocate close to family. “There are simply not enough of these types of apartments to satisfy demand,’’ Anita said. “Most interest was as a permanent residence or for holidays.’’ TIGHTLY-HELD POCKET ON THE SOUND Oliver O’Reilly at Ray White Noosa has an interesting auction coming this week - a fivebedroom, three-bathroom, two-car waterfront house at 14 Wesley Ct, Noosa Heads.
2 NOOSA TODAY | Friday, 23 October, 2026
The house comes with pool and jetty, and the auction will be in-rooms at 2/36 Duke St, Sunshine Beach, on Wednesday, 28 October, at 12pm. The residential real estate between the Munna Point Bridge and the Garth Prowd Bridge on Noosa Sound is a tightly-held pocket, and carries some of the highest sentiment among buyers and sellers in Noosa with only a handful of properties bought and sold each year. The names such as Witta Ccl, Mosman Ct, Key Ct and Cooran Ct immediately attract attention. Yet so does Wesley Ct. It’s the privacy and at the same time central location that appeals to those who appreciate the seclusion or anonymity. Oliver said the size of the block at 948sq m was among the many favoured comments at open houses. That and the way the two-level house sits on the block - treed and walled from the street and a sunny aspect over the water. With full short term accommodation (STA) it has proven a popular holiday booking, grossing $300,000 pa. “Privacy is a big factor,’’ Oliver said, “on the inside as well as from the outside. “There is dual main bedroom configuration on the ground level, with each having a walk-in robe and ensuite. “Upstairs there are three bedrooms, sitting room and a main bathroom with stand-alone bathtub. “This is a great place to raise children.’’ The kitchen features engineered stone benchtops, an island bench with waterfall ends, soft-close drawers and high-end appliances. There is a poolside servery with gas struts to the push-up windows from the kitchen, making it easy to prepare meals and supervise the children. On the ground level is a family room, dining and living area, together with poolside entertaining deck and patio. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with minimal impact from seasonal tourism, the property is
Tom Offermann agent Erica Newton with the executor of the estate for 28 Sobraon St, Sunrise Beach. less than 1km from Noosa Main Beach and Hastings St. On one of the largest single freehold blocks on the peninsula, palms and pandanus surround the house and the pool bringing a taste of the tropics. “No.14 Wesley Court has an uncommon sense of privacy and familiarity, with a quiet confidence that rewards those who recognise value at the end of a cul-de-sac,’’ Oliver said. Under the 2024 and 2025 Town Plan amendments, there are fewer than 10 percent of free-standing residential properties on Noosa Sound that hold STA approval. Of those, even fewer enjoy direct water frontage. TASTE OF THE TROPICS Swaying palms, the cooling north-easterly breeze off the ocean, and glimpses of the river. A three-bedroom, two-bathroom top-floor penthouse with rooftop deck in Noosaville is attracting attention from Sydney and Melbourne interests ahead of its auction on Saturday, 24 October, at 11.15am. On the northern and river side of the resort, the apartment is away from Noosa Pde with an outlook of palms and the swimming pool, with a backdrop of Noosa National Park to the east.
noosatoday.com.au
22/140 Noosa Pde, Noosaville: Three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse, rooftop deck. Auction Saturday, 24 October, 11.15am. opens directly to a north-facing terrace, while the additional two bedrooms also enjoy terrace access and share the main bathroom. The expansive exclusive-use rooftop is an extraordinary extension of the apartment and a rare find. “Properties with this much private outdoor space are incredibly hard to find, particularly in such a central Noosa location,“ Erica said. “The rooftop is the real showstopper; it gives you an entirely different way to enjoy the apartment and the Noosa lifestyle.“ QUITE A BUZZ Cameron Urquhart at Tom Offermann Real Estate has a hinterland property set for auction that should have buyers buzzing. Set on a basically level 5265sq m allotment in Doonan, 86 Panorama Dve presents an opportunity to secure an acreage holding with a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house that has a double garage. It goes to auction Saturday, 24 October, at 3pm. Situated about 8km from Eumundi and 13km from the riverfront lifestyle of Gympie Tce, Noosaville, the property offers a desirable balance of tranquillity and easy access to town services as well as Noosa’s natural attractions.

LIVE LOVE LIFE: BRING BOAT AND SUNNY APPETITE COSSETTED in the exclusive enclave of Hideaway Island, minutes from sophisticated Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, is a beacon of formidable quality and avantgarde modernist design. This is next level waterside living, a total immersion from intimate areas of reprieve to a seamless coalescence with outdoors and an expansive terrace which runs the width of the residence. Dazzling on the left is the luminescent wet edge pool and shimmering water feature wall; on the right is a spa and barbeque; and the magical backdrop is a row of melaleucas with a willow-like leafy curtain acting as a sunscreen, also catching the cool breezes. Enjoy splashing around in the shallows or launch a canoe, stand-up paddle board and kayak. The jetty is the perfect spot to reel in tailor and whiting and why not up-anchor the boat for more serious fishing in the open stretches of the nearby Noosa River or out at nearby Sunshine Reef. It is also close to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach by boat, or why not take a stroll to the cafes and restaurants in Quamby Place. Indoors, evoking a sensory connection and an impressive outward aspect, is a sequence of stinting spaces from prodigious living and dining to media and leisure, some with clerestory height ceilings and numerous statement ball pendants, also disappearing walls of mainly glass, thus morphing from one to another. Bright natural light invites itself in, to shadow-dance across the endless pastel grey marble flooring, while lovers of art will appreciate the potential for enjoying the gallerystyle spaces. With numerous options for entertaining aka living the good life, it’s obvious Gull Design had the menu sorted. The L-shaped kitchen, similarly the walk-in pantry, has grey-stone topped cabinetry including the massive island/ breakfast bar, lengthy preparation bench and custom bar. Multiple latest appliances include fridges from LG and Vintec, also AEG induction cooktop and two ovens. Naturally the heaps of well-thought-out storage will be desired by the consummate cook, who might also be inspired by those tasty views. When it comes to dreamtime, this is next level of bliss with five king bedrooms with marble ensuites. Top of class goes to the two, yes two premier suite retreats on both levels with access to the west terrace, freestanding baths to drink in the views of pool and waterway, also fashionista-style walk-in robes. On the upper level in the south wing are two bedrooms/ensuites plus robes; on the ground level is one bedroom/ensuite and robe; and a powder room is nearby. “Take the plunge; this is investment gold,” comment Tom Offerman Real Estate marketing agents Nic Hunter and Jesse Stowers. “It distils contemporary functionality and personality in spades, and what a privileged location with
nothing but sand and water out the front. It really is tops. “With so many naturally beautiful assets, waves peeling off the point at Noosa National Park, and Spring temperatures of 28-degrees, the north-facing protected Noosa Main Beach, also Quamby Place, Gympie Terrace, Hastings Street, and a plethora of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques all so close, the magnetism is indisputable. “That includes exclusive Hideaway Island.

HOME FOCUS
WHERE SOPHISTICATED DESIGN MEETS NOOSAVILLE LIVING JUST streets back from the Noosa River, Villa 2 at Squires brings together considered architecture, generous living spaces, a private pool and double garage in a home that places equal emphasis on design, privacy and everyday liveability. A more recent addition to one of Noosaville’s established residential pockets, Squires has a distinctly different character to much of its surrounds. Clean lines and modern finishes are softened by established subtropical landscaping, creating a home that feels private, refined and entirely at ease within its setting. The ground floor is given almost entirely to living. An open kitchen, dining and lounge occupy the centre of the villa, with a separate pantry and full laundry tucked behind, while wide openings extend the living area onto the deck and private pool beyond. A double garage connects directly to the home, adding a welcome degree of practicality to the design. Upstairs, the layout becomes more private. Two generous bedrooms sit either side of the central void, including a 4.0m x 4.5m main bedroom with its own ensuite, walk-in robe and balcony. A second bathroom, built-in study and additional storage complete the level, while the void maintains a sense of openness between the two floors and gives the interior much of its architectural character. Outside, the same considered approach continues. The deck and pool form a natural extension of the living space, framed by established subtropical landscaping without the maintenance demands of a traditional Noosaville block. It’s an appealing balance: the independence, privacy and amenity of a home, distilled into something easier to own and enjoy. And with the Noosa River only streets away, the location does much of the heavy lifting. The riverfront, cafes, restaurants and everyday conveniences of Noosaville are all close at hand, while Villa 2 remains privately tucked away from the activity.

TWO SEPARATE RESIDENCES - ONE PRICE OFFERING exceptional versatility for homeowners, extended families and investors, this is a unique opportunity offering a house at the front and a unit at the back; there is a fence between the properties so they are totally separate and private on a generous 735m² allotment. This presents an exciting opportunity to enjoy the benefits of two separate residences in a convenient sought after Tewantin location. The current combined rental return is an attractive $1,500 per week providing just under a 5.% return. The main residence features three bedrooms, one bathroom, a garage and a private fenced off yard for the kids, providing comfortable living with space to relax and unwind and is currently let at $800 per week, has been well maintained and has new plumbing, air-conditioning and ceiling fans. The second dwelling is a two bedroom unit, only four years old in excellent condition and Council approved. The unit boasts a modern, bright open-plan layout, two bedrooms and one bathroom and includes a large covered private terrace with off street parking, offering an inviting living environment. The unit is currently let at $700 per week. Both homes feature reverse-cycle air-conditioning and ceiling fans ensuring year-round comfort, while lowmaintenance gardens allow more time to enjoy
the relaxed Noosa lifestyle. Whether you’re looking to live in one residence and rent out the other, accommodate multigenerational families while maintaining privacy and independence, or lease both to generate two rental incomes, this property offers the flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles and investment strategies. For owner-occupiers, the opportunity to generate rental income while enjoying your own home is particularly appealing, potentially helping to offset mortgage repayments and everyday living expenses. Equally attractive
to investors, the two separate homes one one lot offers two income streams from a single property, with the added flexibility of accommodating different tenant requirements. Location is another outstanding advantage. Within walking distance of Noosa Outlook Shopping Centre with an IGA supermarket, medical, pharmacy and local specialty stores as well as nearby public transport, everyday convenience is right on your doorstep.
