Veteran celebrates 100 Noosa veteran Kenneth John Bridges OAM will celebrate his 100th birthday on November 4, marking a remarkable life spanning wartime service, naval duty and more than eight decades supporting fellow veterans and their families. A Life Member of the Tewantin-Noosa RSL Sub Branch, Ken is among Australia’s longest-serving RSL members, having joined the Cairns Sub Branch in 1943 at just 16. Born in Narrandera, NSW, he was inspired to join after seeing the support the organisation provided his father, a First World War veteran. Although the minimum membership age was 17, the membership officer recognised Ken’s service and signed him up. Read and celebrate Ken’s life on Page 4

Big sale for Beach By Steve Linnell A Peregian Beach medical and allied health complex has sold for $10.3 million after attracting more than 70 enquiries, highlighting investor interest in income-producing commercial property in the Noosa region. The Marquesas, at 247–253 David Low Way, was purchased by a private investor in October after Colliers approached a targeted group of healthcare property investors, high-net-worth clients and qualified buyers. The sale analysis reported annual net income of about $563,027 and a yield of 5.18 per cent. Colliers said the campaign generated more
than 70 inbound enquiries and direct engagement with 30 buyer groups, with a purchaser secured during the initial off-market stage. As a result, the property did not need to proceed to a planned public national marketing campaign. The complex occupies a 2021sqm site in the Peregian Beach Village Centre and comprises three architecturally designed buildings, about 1046sqm of net lettable area and 18 strata-titled lots. It is fully leased, with 11 tenants across medical, allied health and professional services. Tenants include Peregian Beach Medical, Dental Centre Peregian, Gather Health and
Coastal Physio, alongside other health practitioners and professional businesses. The property has prominent frontage to David Low Way and more than 58 on-site car parks. Its weighted average lease expiry is reported at 2.8 years, while the strata-titled configuration offers potential flexibility for a future owner, including the possibility of selling individual lots, subject to relevant requirements. The transaction highlights the appeal of established commercial assets in coastal centres where land is limited and local businesses provide services to permanent residents and visitors. Colliers agents Daniel Vella, Jesse Howitt and Nick Dowling handled the sale.

STEVE LINNELL There is more to the Noosa property market than million-dollar homes, waterfront mansions and the latest prestige sale. Sometimes the really interesting deals are happening behind the scenes, where investors are looking beyond the view and concentrating on something a little less glamorous but potentially just as valuable: rental income. And a $10.3 million sale at Peregian Beach has put that proposition firmly in the spotlight. The Marquesas, a medical and allied health complex at 247–253 David Low Way, changed hands last week, with a private investor securing the fully leased property after an off-market campaign attracted more than 70 enquiries. Now, that is a fair bit of interest for a commercial property deal that never needed to progress to a public national marketing campaign. Colliers, which handled the sale, said it engaged directly with 30 targeted buyer groups during the campaign. A purchaser was secured during the first stage, delivering an outcome that met the vendor’s expectations on price and terms. The sale price was $10.3 million, with the supplied sales analysis reporting annual net income of about $563,027 and a yield of 5.18 per cent. For those who prefer their property numbers served without the jargon, the income figure equates to more than $10,800 a week. Of course, that is before an investor starts

sional businesses. That mix is important. Rather than relying on a single business to pay the rent, the owner has an income stream spread across a range of occupants. The tenants provide services people need, from general medical care and dentistry to physiotherapy and other allied health treatments. That does not make the investment bulletproof. Businesses can struggle, leases can expire and vacancies can occur. But the nature of the tenant mix offers a different proposition from a retail property that depends heavily on discretionary spending. It is also a reminder that the local property market is about more than where people live. It is about where they work, where they seek healthcare and the commercial infrastructure supporting a growing coastal community. Servo for sale Meanwhile a Tewantin service station leased to ASX-listed Viva Energy until 2033 is being offered for sale, with the long-term tenancy and fixed annual rent increases expected to appeal to commercial investors. The Shell Coles Express and Reddy Expressbranded site at 60 Poinciana Avenue occupies a 2016sqm corner block with frontage to Poinciana Avenue and Moorindil Street. It has operated as a service station since 1988. Viva Energy Australia has a 10-year lease running until 2033, with two five-year options that could extend the tenancy to 2043. Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast senior agent David Brinkley said the property offered investors a set income without day-to-day management responsibilities. “Viva Energy pays all operating outgoings, council rates and water usage, and rent rises by a fixed three per cent a year,” Mr Brinkley said. The site includes a 245sqm shop, a 200sqm forecourt canopy, fuel pumps, customer toilets and on-site parking, with access to the Noosa River Ferry, Noosa North Shore and Double Island Point. RWC agent Paul Butler said the owner spent $350,000 in 2024 replacing the roof, repainting the building, renovating the toilets and installing new timber retaining walls. The property will be offered at public auction at Ray White’s corporate office in Brisbane on November 27. More property news on Page 9

80 vessels relocated By Steve Linnell Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) has conducted 218 on-water vessel and personal watercraft intercepts on the Noosa River as part of its Spring Compliance Campaign, with lifejacket compliance and speeding continuing to be key safety concerns. MSQ General Manager Kell Dillon said the campaign reinforced the organisation’s commitment to improving safety and addressing unlawful behaviour on the water. “Maritime Safety Queensland maintained a strong compliance presence on the Noosa River
during the Spring Compliance Campaign, conducting 218 on-water vessel and personal watercraft intercepts,” Mr Dillon said. Since anchoring restrictions commenced on January 1, 2026, around 80 vessels have been relocated from the Noosa River system. MSQ has observed a reduction in vessel congestion in areas affected by the restrictions, which it says have also contributed to increased compliance with waterway management requirements. The restrictions include a 28-day limit on anchoring across the Noosa River system. MSQ said it continued to work with vessel
owners to achieve compliance, while taking enforcement action where necessary and supporting owners experiencing genuine vulnerabilities. The agency also reported issuing 151 Marine Infringement Notices and education actions as part of its compliance efforts. Lifejacket compliance and speeding remain ongoing issues, accounting for a significant proportion of non-compliance identified on the Noosa River. MSQ continues to conduct targeted patrols, including night operations, to improve safety, protect the marine environment and ensure fair access to local waterways.
Saving our seas with the help of volunteers By Steve Linnell More than 100 volunteers have removed a staggering 3.2 tonnes of rubbish from Double Island Point, highlighting the growing challenge of keeping Noosa’s coastline clean. Despite ordinary weather, volunteers of all ages turned out for the annual beach clean-up organised by Sunshine Coast Surfrider Foundation last weekend. Among those getting their hands dirty were local groms, the young surfers who are growing up enjoying the beaches and ocean they helped protect. The haul included plastic water bottles, thongs, shoes, microplastics, an oil tank, large and heavy rope and a confronting number of balloons. The sheer volume and variety of rubbish collected served as a reminder of the waste washing up on the coastline and the impact it can have on marine life and the environment. For the volunteers, the effort was about more than filling rubbish bags. It was about protecting a special stretch of coast for future generations and encouraging the community to take greater responsibility for the waste it produces. The participation of younger volunteers was a
Christmas trees help the scouts Noosa Sea Scouts is calling on the local community to get behind its Christmas tree fundraiser, with every purchase helping support opportunities for young people across the region. The group is encouraging families to buy a real Christmas tree this year, with proceeds helping Noosa Sea Scouts continue providing activities that build confidence, teamwork and valuable life skills. Scouting gives young people the chance to learn through adventure, outdoor activities and new experiences, helping them develop skills that extend well beyond their time in the group. The Christmas tree fundraiser is a practical way for the community to support those opportunities while bringing the tradition and scent of a real tree into the family home. Trees can be pre-ordered online at noosascoutxmastrees.com by Friday, 27 November. Buyers can choose from two collection dates, Saturday, 28 November, or Saturday, 5 December, with delivery also available. Noosa Sea Scouts says its members have enjoyed a range of experiences and activities throughout the year and are looking forward to more opportunities in 2027. The fundraiser offers residents a chance to play a part in that future while preparing for Christmas. By choosing a tree from Noosa Sea Scouts, local families can make their festive purchase count twice - creating a Christmas centrepiece at home while helping young people in the community learn, grow and take on new challenges.

Their involvement also offered a glimpse of the next generation of ocean advocates, learning firsthand about the rubbish that ends up on the beaches they love. While the removal of 3.2 tonnes of rubbish was an impressive community achievement, organisers say the amount collected is a sobering reminder of the scale of the problem. Plastic bottles, discarded footwear and balloons can all pose risks to wildlife, while larger items such as heavy rope and an oil tank highlight the diverse range of debris that can accumulate

Sunshine Coast Surfrider Foundation hopes the effort will inspire more people to get involved in protecting the region’s beaches and waterways. The message is simple: keeping the coast clean is a shared responsibility, and every piece of rubbish removed makes a difference.

Celebrating a century of service By Steve Linnell Noosa veteran Kenneth John Bridges OAM will celebrate his 100th birthday on 4 November, marking a remarkable life of military service, mateship and community commitment. A Life Member of the Tewantin-Noosa RSL Sub Branch, Ken is one of Australia’s longest-serving RSL members, having joined the Cairns Sub Branch in 1943 at just 16 years of age. Although the minimum membership age was 17, the membership officer recognised the young man’s service and signed him up. Born in Narrandera, NSW, on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River, Ken was the son of a First World War veteran. Seeing the support the RSL provided to his father and other returned servicemen inspired him to join the organisation himself. His own service began during the Second World War, when he enlisted in the Merchant Navy on May 25, 1942, as a deck boy with McIlwraith McEachern aboard the SS Barossa. Ken served on several merchant vessels operating along Australia’s east coast, helping maintain vital supply routes during wartime,
when Japanese submarines posed a constant threat to shipping. He also trained as a Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships gunner, manning the anti-aircraft gun mounted on the forecastle. On March 7, 1946, Ken transferred to the Royal Australian Navy, undertaking initial training at HMAS Cerberus before joining HMAS Shropshire. The ship supported the British Commonwealth Occupation Forces in Japan, operating in the western prefectures around Kobe, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the naval base at Kure. After returning to Australia and undertaking further training, Ken served aboard several vessels, including the cruisers HMAS Australia and HMAS Bataan, and the destroyers HMAS Tobruk and HMAS Bataan. Between 1948 and 1954, his naval service included the Korean Conflict, where Australian ships faced the threat of Chinese air attacks and North Korean shore artillery. While serving aboard HMAS Bataan, Ken was on the bridge when the ship was sideswiped by the aircraft carrier HMAS Vengeance near the Cocos Islands.
He remained in the Navy until January 1, 1957, discharging with the rank of Petty Officer. But his commitment to serving others did not end when he hung up his uniform. After leaving the Navy, Ken devoted himself to helping veterans and their families, working as a welfare officer and advocate before taking on the role of Sub Branch president. He also played an instrumental role in establishing the Rural Fire Brigade on Noosa North Shore, extending his contribution to the wider community. His service has been recognised through several honours, including Life Membership of the Tewantin-Noosa RSL Sub Branch in 2006 and the RSL Meritorious Medal in 2017. In 2018, he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the General Division for service to veterans and their families. As Ken approaches his centenary, his story reflects a lifetime shaped by wartime experiences, naval service and an enduring commitment to supporting those who served their country. From joining the RSL as a teenager during the war to reaching the milestone of 100 years, Ken has maintained a connection with the veteran community that spans more than eight decades.
Noosa welcomes court result Noosa Council has welcomed a court ruling over the illegal clearing of native vegetation at a high-profile Noosa Heads property, saying the outcome should send a strong message to landowners about their environmental obligations. Council’s Director of Development and Regulation, Richard MacGillivray, said the decision was a positive environmental outcome for the community, with extensive revegetation works now required to restore the cleared areas. “This is a positive environmental outcome for our community,” Mr MacGillivray said. “The cleared areas will now be restored through extensive revegetation works, supported by ongoing maintenance on both public and private land to ensure the rehabilitation is successful over the long term.” The case involved property developer and entrepreneur Kim Carroll and his wife, Heidi Meyer, who were in court relating to planning offences of clearing vegetation on land at Picture Point Crescent, Noosa Heads, without the necessary council approval. The couple had purchased the 1144sqm property in October 2021 for $16.45 million. The elevated site, offering sweeping views across Noosa, has been marketed as a potential location for a luxury residence. Court orders, according to a report in the Courier Mail, require extensive planting of trees, shrubs and ground covers on the property and adjoining council reserve, with the work to be completed to specified requirements. Mr MacGillivray said native vegetation played an important role in protecting Noosa’s natural environment and character. “Native vegetation is vital to Noosa’s biodiversity, landscape character, ecological resilience and community amenity,” he said. He said the outcome should serve as a strong deterrent to unauthorised clearing. “It demonstrates Council’s commitment to enforcing environmental and planning laws and reinforces the importance of obtaining and complying with the necessary approvals for any vegetation clearing.” The dispute centred on clearing carried out during two periods between 2021 and 2025. According to reports, the couple had previously argued that the work was intended to reduce bushfire risk and did not require approval, while Council maintained that the clearing breached planning requirements.

Teenager charged with 62 offences Moreton police have charged a Sunshine Coast teenager with 62 offences under Operation Yankee Tread, targeting dangerous driving behaviour across the district. Between 17 April and 2 September, it is alleged the boy was involved in and observed multiple hooning incidents across the Brisbane, Moreton and Sunshine Coast districts. It will be further alleged at approximately 8.30pm on 10 September, the boy was the passenger of a Ford Falcon conducting burnouts in Morayfield before it crashed into a fence outside an address on Nairn Road. The Ford continued driving and was allegedly abandoned on Dobson Road, before the boy exited the vehicle with another teenager and they left the scene in a Hyundai i30. Following subsequent investigations, police attended an address on Mudjimba Avenue in Marcoola on 1 October and arrested a 17-year-old Imbil boy. He was charged with 24 counts each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and driving on a learner’s license without being properly supervised, as well as 12 counts of spectating a hooning event, and one count each of riding a motorbike unlicensed and driving without due care and attention. He was scheduled to face Maroochydore Childrens Court on 7 October. Further enquiries also saw police attend an address on Lerner Street in Pacific Paradise on 1 October, where a 19-year-old Pacific Paradise man was arrested. He was charged with one count each of dangerous operation of a vehicle and receiving tainted property, and was due to face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 19 October.
265313_01 A total of 142 offenders have now been charged with 618 offences under Operation Yankee Tread since it launched in August. Around 7.50pm on 11 October, it is alleged police observed a black Audi A5 being driven dangerously on Morayfield Road in Caboolture before it crashed into a grey Toyota RAV4 near the intersection with Esme Avenue. The driver of the Audi allegedly fled the scene on foot, before he was located by the Moreton Dog Squad in nearby bushland a short time later and taken into custody. The driver of the Toyota, a 47-year-old Brendale woman, sustained minor injuries and was treated by paramedics at the scene. The passenger, a 54-year-old Caboolture man, was not physically injured. A 26-year-old Deception Bay man was
charged with one count each of dangerous operation of a vehicle, evasion, disobeying the speed limit, fail to comply with duties of a driver involved in a crash, fail to provide specimen of breath or saliva for test, driving while over the alcohol limit, driving unsupervised on a learner’s licence and failing to display L plates. He is next due to face Caboolture Magistrates Court on 18 November. Officer in Charge of Moreton District Tactical Crime Squad Senior Sergeant Tom Jakes said the excellent results of Yankee Tread are a reflection of the commitment and multidisciplinary teamwork of officers across the district to target dangerous driving offences. “We are bringing together specialist investigators, Highway Patrol, Tactical Crime Squad and Intelligence officers to form a single, intelligence-led capability focused on disrupting prolific offenders and improving community safety,” Senior Sergeant Jakes said. “Moreton Police are committed to stamping out this kind of activity in the district, and we encourage members of the community to continue reporting this dangerous behaviour to police to help us identify offenders and target resources to areas of concern.” Queensland residents are encouraged to report dangerous driving behaviour directly to 13HOON (134 666) or Policelink (131 444).

CACA opens up the past By Steve Linnell A journey back to 2001 brought memories, stories and a renewed appreciation of community as the Caloundra Arts Centre Association (CACA) celebrated a special milestone in its 50th anniversary year. On Saturday, 10 October 2026, CACA members and invited guests gathered at the Caloundra Arts Centre for the official opening of a time capsule carefully assembled by members 25 years ago. The occasion offered a fascinating glimpse into life at the centre in 2001, with treasured items revealing the artistic activities, friendships and community spirit that have helped shape the organisation over the decades. Long-standing members added a personal touch to the occasion, sharing memories and stories that brought the past to life and highlighted the enduring connections at the heart of CACA. CACA President Mike McDonald welcomed members and guests before Kendall Hatcher MP officially opened the time capsule and delivered
an inspiring speech. CACA warmly acknowledged Ms Hatcher’s enthusiasm and continued support for the arts community. Joan S, one of CACA’s long-standing members whose foresight helped bring the time capsule to life in 2001, also shared the story behind its creation. The capsule’s contents reflected the breadth of creativity that has flourished at the centre, with glimpses of activities including the Night Owl Quilters, pottery, watercolour painting and lacemaking. The celebrations continued over refreshments and a special anniversary cake designed and created by Lin S, a member of CACA’s Hard Pressed Printers group. The cake was a creative centrepiece celebrating the association’s 50th anniversary, its diverse artistic groups and the opening of the time capsule. CACA extended its sincere thanks to everyone who attended and helped make the occasion memorable, with special appreciation for the volunteers responsible for setting up, photography, catering, serving and packing away.

As CACA celebrates 50 years, the occasion served as a reminder that an organisation’s history is held not only in objects, letters and photographs, but also in the stories, shared experiences and relationships of the people who bring it to life. With the past celebrated and the future ahead, CACA continues its commitment to bringing people together through creativity and connection.

New path is now open By Steve Linnell Sunrise and Sunshine Beach residents and beachgoers can finally use the Ross Crescent pathway again after a multi-million-dollar landslide stabilisation project ran four months behind schedule. The project, which was originally due for completion by June 30, has now been completed and the pathway is open, restoring public access following months of construction and disruption. Noosa Council blamed unexpected ground conditions and wet weather for the delays, with design changes required to deal with the unstable ground and saturated soil forcing changes to construction methods. Acting Infrastructure Services director Bill Haddrill previously told Noosa Today the project remained on budget despite the extended construction period. The $2,492,858.96 contract was awarded to Sunshine Civil Solutions Pty Ltd at Council’s February 19 ordinary meeting, with councillors unanimously approving the works. The project was designed to provide a longterm solution to slope damage near Ross Crescent after a landslip threatened the stability of the footpath and surrounding infrastructure. The works involved stabilising the embankment and protecting the footpath, stormwater systems and utilities. Non-compliant beach access points were also being removed, while Beach Access 35 was to remain unchanged. The stabilisation works form part of a $3.3 million program jointly funded by Noosa Council and the Australian Government. With the project now complete and the pathway open, residents and visitors can once again use the area without the construction restrictions that accompanied the stabilisation work.

Aussies digging deep Raising By Steve Linnell A GoFundMe campaign helping a long-time Noosa identity buy a van is among the local stories reflecting a record year of generosity across Australia, with donations already surpassing the total raised in 2025. Australians have donated $150 million to local causes through GoFundMe so far in 2026, as the fundraising platform reports a 20 per cent spike in donations and a growing number of people turning to the community for help. The record comes amid increasing financial pressure on households, with 10,000 more fundraisers launched this year as people seek assistance with everything from medical expenses to rent, groceries and utility bills. One of those appeals has struck a chord in Noosa, where hundreds of donors have rallied behind long-time local identity Robert “Bobby” Aitken as he prepares for a major change in his life. A GoFundMe campaign organised by Nambour support worker Fiona Betzien has raised $26,308 from 510 donations towards a $30,000 target to help Bobby secure a van he can live in when his wife Gail moves into a nursing home. Bobby, who has lived in Noosa since 1962, was concerned he would be unable to afford rent on his pension once Gail moved into residential aged care. The fundraiser was launched in January after Ms Betzien came across a Facebook post about Bobby wanting to swap his vehicle for a small van. The community response has already helped him purchase one. He is now looking at improving the interior to make it liveable, with donations also helping cover registration, insurance and
(Supplied: 585701) Gail’s nursing home costs. Ms Betzien said she had become great friends with Bobby and Gail since starting the appeal and passed donations directly to the couple. Bobby has spent more than six decades contributing to Noosa life, with a working history spanning more than 100 jobs, including tourism, hospitality, fishing and surfing. He managed Tingirana Motel, Woods Caravan Park and Munna Point Campground, shaped surfboards with Trevor Hewston, fished with the Massoud family and worked on dredging Hays Inlet to create Noosa Sound. He also ran the riding school at Hoffman’s Ranch, drove a school bus and spent several years involved with the Noosa Coastguard. A devoted longboarder, Bobby has been part of the local surfing community for generations, making friends and collecting stories along the way. His campaign illustrates the personal impact behind GoFundMe’s national figures, as more Australians turn to crowdfunding to manage difficult circumstances.
GoFundMe says monthly bills are now its fastest-growing fundraising category in Australia, increasing 51 per cent as people seek help with essential costs. Medical fundraisers, the platform’s largest category in Australia, have also risen 21 per cent, reflecting the financial strain faced by people dealing with serious health conditions, time away from work and out-of-pocket treatment expenses. The categories often overlap, with illness contributing to lost income and mounting household bills. GoFundMe Australia regional director Nicola Britton said the record donations reflected a growing ripple effect of people helping one another. “$150 million in help delivered in 2026 is worth celebrating, but the real story is the ripple effect of kindness behind this number,” she said. “When someone shares their story, it makes it easier for the next person to ask.” Ms Britton said donations had now come from every inhabited postcode in Australia. The platform has also reported a surge in support for motor neurone disease-related fundraisers following NRL player Jai Arrow’s diagnosis, with the number of MND appeals increasing 37 per cent and donations rising 96 per cent. For Bobby and Gail, the generosity is already helping make an uncertain transition more manageable. Their fundraiser, Help Robert (Bobby) purchase a Camper or Van, remains open for donations as Bobby works to make his new van a practical home for the next chapter of his life: https:// www.gofundme.com/f/help-bobby-purchase-acamper-or-van

Imagine having an air conditioner but being afraid to turn it on because of the electricity bill. Or avoiding using the oven or heater to make ends meet. For some Noosa Shire residents, these are everyday realities. Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) is asking the community to help change that through its Solar on Low-Income Homes – Pay it Forward with Power fundraising campaign. The goal is to raise enough money to install rooftop solar systems on 10 low-income homes across Noosa Shire, at no cost to the selected homeowners. Every donation, large or small, brings another household closer to years of lower electricity bills.
(Supplied: 586289) A little help today. Lower power bills for decades. “Many Noosa Shire households already enjoy the savings that come with rooftop solar, but those who could benefit most are often the ones who cannot afford the upfront cost,” said ZEN spokesperson Colin Lambie. “Through Pay it Forward with Power, we’re asking people who can afford to contribute to help their neighbours access those same savings. “A donation today can help reduce someone’s electricity bills for 20 years or more. That’s a lasting impact from a single contribution.” A household with modest electricity use could save an estimated $400 to $800 annually with rooftop solar, depending on its circumstances.
For people struggling with the cost of living, those savings can make a real difference - helping pay for groceries, medical expenses and other essentials. But the benefits go beyond money. One prospective recipient, Jean, explained what solar would mean to her: “I would love to be using a renewable energy source and this would mean that I would feel comfortable using the air conditioning occasionally or turn on some heating on cold winter mornings. I would vacuum more instead of mostly just sweeping the floors. I might even use my oven!” Another homeowner described having an air conditioner but never using it because of the cost, instead relying on extra jumpers and hot water bottles to stay warm and wetting her hair to try and stay cool in the summer. “Solar power would allow me to live like everyone else!” Your donation can make a lasting difference ZEN is inviting individuals, families, local businesses and community organisations to support the campaign. Whether it’s $50, $100, $250, $500 or more, every contribution helps fund another solar installation.
funds for a cause
By Sofia Sanders A Pink Ribbon Lunch at Grenny’s Restaurant brought the Noosa community together on Sunday, 25 October 2026, raising much needed funds for breast cancer research. Claire Wilson and her daughter, Sofia, hosted the fundraiser on Sunday, welcoming 40 guests who gathered for an afternoon of connection, fundraising and awareness. Held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the event supported the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), which funds world-class research aimed at improving the prevention, early detection and treatment of breast cancer. Guests embraced the occasion by wearing a touch of pink, while enjoying door prizes, a silent auction and the opportunity to contribute through individual donations. A highlight of the afternoon was hearing from breast cancer survivor Deadry Lombard, who shared her personal cancer journey with guests. Reflecting on her experience, Deadry spoke about the importance of prayer, family, friends and the support of her oncology and surgical teams in helping her through her journey. The funds will contribute to the NBCF’s ongoing efforts to improve outcomes for people diagnosed with breast cancer and work towards a future where no Australian dies from the disease. Claire and Sofia extended their sincere thanks to Grenny’s Restaurant for hosting the lunch, as well as the local businesses and community members who generously donated prizes and supported the fundraiser, helping turn the lunch into a successful community fundraising event. The afternoon was a wonderful example of what can be achieved when a community comes together to support a cause that matters to so many.

Timber terminal takes shape Sunshine Coast Airport’s $170 million Terminal Redevelopment Project has reached a new milestone, with installation now underway on around 30 tonnes of timber chosen for its sustainability and environmental benefits, and reflecting the region’s subtropical landscape and laid-back character. When completed it will be Australia’s first mass timber engineered terminal, creating a passenger environment unlike any other airport in the country. As well as reinforcing the terminal’s connection to the landscape that surrounds it, the use of timber over traditional steel and concrete materials reduces the terminal’s embodied carbon with an estimated Global Warming Potential (GWP) saving of roughly 40 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. The engineered timber, known as glulam or GLT, is being installed to form the terminal’s dramatic raking roof frames - a defining architectural feature designed by global architecture firm Populous: Fentress Studios’ Australian team in partnership with builder McNab. Sunshine Coast Airport General Manager Projects and Planning Mr Robin Mace, said seeing the timber structure take shape was a significant moment for the project. “This is where the vision our community helped shape really starts to come to life.

(Supplied) “The timber frames will become one of the most recognisable features of our new terminal, and watching them go in is an exciting sign of the progress being made on this $170 million investment in our region’s future,” Mr Mace said. The scale of the installation is unusual for an airport project of this size - at around 30 tonnes, it’s a similar weight to an adult humpback whale, a familiar sight migrating past the Sunshine Coast coastline each year. “It’s genuinely rare for an airport to use timber at this scale,” said Mr Matt Findlay, Principal & Head of Aviation, APAC at Populous: Fentress Studios. “Most terminals of this size rely on steel and concrete, so committing around 30 tonnes of glu-
lam to the roof structure is a significant statement about the kind of building we wanted to create one that feels like nowhere else in Australian aviation,” said Mr Findlay Airports are widely recognised as high-stress environments - the noise, crowds and navigation involved in getting from drop-off to departure gate can leave even seasoned travellers feeling anxious. The terminal’s design sets out to counter thatthrough biophilic design, a principle that draws on people’s innate connection to the natural world to help lower stress and improve wellbeing. By replacing concrete and steel with warm, exposed timber, the terminal is designed to have a calming effect on passengers from the moment they arrive. The raking glulam frames have been designed to do more than support the roof - they set the tone for the entire passenger journey. “For many people, airports reflect the fast pace
of modern life,” said Sean Powyer, Associate Principal & Architect at Populous: Fentress Studios. “The raking timber frames form a distinctive gateway into the terminal, marking the transition from the pressures of everyday life to the relaxed character of the Sunshine Coast. Warm and natural, the exposed structure is designed to create an immediate sense of calm from the moment passengers step off the aircraft. “The Sunshine Coast is the only place in the world that’s home to three continuous UNESCO Biospheres, and our airport serves as a gateway to three of Australia’s five Biosphere Reserves. “Timber was a natural choice for the terminal, reflecting the surrounding subtropical rainforest and reinforcing the building’s connection to the landscape it sits within,” Mr Powyer said. As a renewable material, engineered timber can lower a building’s embodied carbon compared with traditional steel and concrete construction - one of a number of sustainable design principles being explored across the redevelopment. Installation of the glulam frames will continue over the coming weeks, with specialist timber engineering consultation provided by Theca Timber, as the frames form a key structural and visual feature of the new departures hall, ahead of the terminal’s completion in 2027.
Rain swamps Queensland’s coast By Steve Linnell Heavy rain has drenched parts of south-east Queensland, with Caboolture and surrounding areas recording falls exceeding 100mm in just three hours as storms swept across the region. The Bureau of Meteorology recorded 131mm at Caboolture’s Short Street gauge in the three hours to 6.45am on Thursday, October 22, with 128mm at Sheep Station Creek in Morayfield and 127mm at Burpengary’s Matthew Creek gauge.
The intense rainfall triggered a severe thunderstorm warning, with authorities warning of dangerous and potentially life-threatening flash flooding across parts of Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Somerset and the Sunshine Coast. Noosa has also received rain, with the Bureau of Meteorology’s Tewantin station recording 18.4mm since 9am in its latest available observations. The local falls are considerably lower than the intense downpours recorded around Caboolture.
The wet weather comes as south-east Queensland faces further disruption from heavy showers and thunderstorms, with motorists urged to exercise caution and avoid driving through floodwaters. Caboolture and the surrounding Moreton Bay region are particularly vulnerable to flash flooding because of the local river and creek catchments, which can rise rapidly during intense rainfall. Residents should monitor Bureau of Meteo-

Close call for koalas By Steve Linnell A koala mother and her joey have survived a dangerous encounter with traffic on the Bruce Highway near Cooroy, but wildlife rescuers say seven other koalas have been killed along the highway between Cooroy and Gympie since July. The mother, Rachel, and her joey, Casper, were spotted trying to navigate the highway at Coles Creek between 6.45pm and 7pm on 12 October. According to Wildcare, a motorist travelling at 110km/h had to swerve to avoid hitting the pair, who were left near the concrete centre barrier with nowhere safe to go. A northbound B-double truck driver also managed to avoid the koalas. Wildcare volunteer Megan Johnston said the mother and joey were rescued and taken to Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital for examination before being released together into bushland on a nearby private property the following day. “They were taken down to Australia Zoo just to get a check and they were both released into bushland on a nearby private property,” she said. Ms Johnston said the pair may have been attracted to vegetation planted as part of a nearby habitat offset. “When roads are built and it goes through habitat ... there’s been a lot of eucalypt planted next to the highway which is attracting koalas,” she said. “There’s koalas on one side of the Bruce Highway, and koalas on the other.” Since 9 July, nine koalas have been involved in incidents along the highway between Cooroy and Gympie, with Rachel and Casper the only survivors, according to Wildcare. The group has raised concerns about sections of the highway where koala habitat offsets adjoin the road, particularly around Coles Creek, where it says fencing is intermittent and ineffective. Wildcare is calling on the Queensland Government and Transport and Main Roads to in-
Rachel and Casper (Supplied) 586240 02 vestigate the affected sections and consider effective fauna fencing and safe wildlife crossings. Ms Johnston said motorists needed to be cautious, but stopping or swerving on a busy highway could create further danger. “We try and tell people to slow down but it can be dangerous on the Bruce Highway,”
she said. “It’s a hard one, for people to stop or swerve is dangerous. The best thing they can do is call our rescue groups.” Contact the Wildcare hotline on 07 5527 2444 The survival of Rachel and Casper has provided some welcome relief for wildlife rescuers
after a series of fatal incidents, but Wildcare says urgent action is needed to reduce the risks to both koalas and motorists. Motorists who encounter an injured or distressed koala should contact a wildlife rescue group rather than put themselves or other road users in danger.
Plucky plovers welcome new additions at Noosa Waters By Steve Linnell A pair of fiercely protective plovers has welcomed three fluffy new arrivals in Noosa Waters, continuing a springtime tradition in the same spot as last year. The proud parents had been sitting on three eggs again this spring before the chicks hatched on October 16. But anyone familiar with plovers knows these devoted parents don’t take kindly to intruders, swooping anything or anyone that ventures too close — including people, other birds and unsuspecting passers-by. For one tiny chick, life outside the nest has already been something of an adventure, with a local resident coming to its rescue from the canal on four occasions. Each rescue has been accompanied by plenty of screeching and swooping from the protective parents, determined to keep their young ones safe. Despite the drama, the three chicks are proving irresistible to those lucky enough to catch a

Three out of three By Erle Levey There’s a well-known saying that good property will always sell ... despite the weather. That was put to the test at the weekend with much of South East Queensland experiencing heavy rainfall and localised flooding. Undeterred, Tom Offermann agents sold two properties out of the three offered by auction at the weekend. That makes it three in a row for Erica Newton who sold the three-bedroom, two-bathroom Tropicana penthouse apartment 22/140 Noosa Pde, Noosaville, in conjunction with colleague Rebekah Offermann. A local buyer snapped it up, attracted by the size and outlook of the penthouse, as well as the popularity of it. The north-facing terrace is fitted with barbecue, shade sails and treetop outlooks. For Erica, it follows the sale at auction last week of the multi-level house at 28 Sobraon St, Sunrise Beach. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool and foreshore bushland as well as ocean outlook was the legacy of Kenneth and Wendy Heinze, with proceeds going to four charities: The Royal Flying Doctor Service, Lifeflight Rescue Helicopter Foundation, The Smith Family Charity and St Andrews Church. There were three registered bidders and the property sold at $3.6m. The Sunshine Beach buyer will honour the late Ken and Wendy, Erica said, and live in the house the way they lived in it. “The buyer will not renovate, which is very touching for Ken’s legacy - he absolutely loved the house and wanted nothing more than for someone to love it the way they did.’’ The week before, Erica and Rebekah Offermann sold the Chris Clout-designed house built by Chris Smith at 10 Duke St, Sunshine Beach. A crowd of about 70 attended and five registered bidders. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom north-facing house with pool on a 766sq m corner block saw bidding come quick and fast until it sold after 22 bids at $4.30m to Brisbane interests. TIGHT HOUSING MARKET IMPACTS RENTALS A chronic, structural undersupply of housing has seen Queensland’s residential vacancy rate to remain in the tight range. The Bay Islands is the only rental market in the state considered ‘healthy’, as slight easing in vacancy rates seen last quarter largely evaporated in the September quarter. According to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s (REIQ) latest vacancy report for the September 2026 Quarter, 48 of the 50 regions tracked across the state were in the tight range of 0-2.5 percent. Showing just how difficult it can be to find a rental if you don’t act quickly, 34 of the regions recorded a vacancy rate of a mere 1.0 percent or less. Noosa saw 0.4 percent easing to have a vacancy rate of 2.2 percent, together with in Hervey Bay.
Biggest falls over the quarter included Maroochy Coast, Sunshine Coast hinterland, Gladstone and Burdekin with 0.55 percent less availability, together with 0.4 percent in Caboolture and Gympie. Cook region recorded effectively no rental vacancies at 0.0 percent, while Charters Towers and Goondiwindi remained exceptionally tight at just 0.1 percent. Any signs of broader relief were also shortlived. Compared to the June quarter, 21 markets tightened - or rebounded back, eroding previous gains - 15 were stable or unchanged, and 14 eased only slightly over the September quarter. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said these figures translate to very few vacancies on the ground. “A healthy vacancy rate is the ideal middle ground for all parties where there’s enough choice for tenants without excessive vacancy for property owners,” Ms Mercorella said. “With every other region in the state considered ‘tight’, there is likely to be a vast mismatch between the number of renters seeking a property versus the number of lasting lease listings. “As a result, there’s more multi-generational family households forming and friends doubling up under the one roof to strengthen their options and share the costs. “The median tenure for rental properties also grew slightly over the financial year – 21.2 months for houses (up from 21.1 last year), and 18.4 months for units (up from 18.2).” Ms Mercorella said these tight conditions were not new and suggested a chronic, structural undersupply. CUP DAY RATES TIPS Odds of fifth interest rate hike this year are likely to shorten as the Reserve Bank of Australia deputy warns the inflation outlook is worsening. Ahead of the RBA board meeting on Melbourne Cup day Andrew Hauser has warned of “hard choices” amid a “materially worse” inflation outlook. Meanwhile Commonwealth Bank economists are sticking with the November RBA interest rates call to hold the cash rate at 4.60 percent - but the outlook remains uncertain. Guardian Australia’s economics editor Patrick Commins has reported that Hauser, speaking at an investment bank conference in Sydney, said the RBA monetary policy board members were juggling a slowing economy with fears that Australians were starting to lose faith in the central bank’s ability to bring inflation back to the 2.5 percent target. “We’re in a world of hard choices. I think that’s the reality here,” Hauser said. “The basic fact [is] that inflation has been high for a very long time now, and we are beginning to see some signs that some people in the community are not sure if we’re going to bring inflation back into target at all, or certainly not for an extended period.’’ The Commonwealth Bank’s economics team is sticking with its forecast that the RBA will leave interest rates unchanged in November, but CBA chief economist Luke Yeaman believes

the risks of further increases are building. Yeaman’s central case is that four rate rises this year will continue to slow economic activity, giving the RBA time to assess how much more work is needed to bring inflation back to target. The chance of an interest rate increase on 3 November jumped from 30 percent before Hauser’s comments to 45 percent afterwards, according to pricing in financial markets. If delivered, it would be the fifth rate rise for the year and would leave the RBA’s official cash
rate target at 4.85 percent, and its highest level since the global financial crisis. A worsening Middle East conflict has pushed inflation to four percent in the year to August, and Hauser said businesses were starting to see 3.5 percent inflation as the “new normal”. Removing an entrenched inflation psychology could require higher interest rates, he warned. Hauser admitted it was difficult explaining to the public why the RBA was “laying pain on top of pain” by raising interest rates at a time when offshore shocks were driving up fuel prices.

Looking to the future Strong demand to hear internationally recognised demographer Simon Kuestenmacher has prompted the Noosa Chamber of Commerce to announce an additional business breakfast, opening the conversation about Noosa’s future to the wider business community. What will Noosa look like in 2050 — and what could it cost the region if the decisions needed to shape that future are not made today? With a median age 12 years above the Australian average, Noosa faces a demographic challenge with potentially far-reaching implications for its workforce, housing, businesses and community services. Internationally recognised demographer Simon Kuestenmacher, Co- Founder and Director of The Demographics Group and ranked among the world’s Top 10 data visualisation influencers, will examine these issues when he visits Noosa in November. The Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry originally announced an exclusive Business Leaders Dinner for Tuesday, 24 November, as part of its Noosa 2050 – The Cost of Doing Nothing initiative. However, with the dinner selling out shortly after its announcement, the Chamber has responded to the strong interest by introducing a second event — a Business Breakfast on Wednesday, 25 November — to ensure more local business owners, operators and community stakeholders have the opportunity to hear Kuestenmacher’s insights first-hand. Known for transforming complex demographic data into compelling visual insights, Kuestenmacher describes the challenge facing Noosa as the “Curse of Paradise” — where the very qualities that make a destination desirable can make it increasingly difficult for the people who support its economy to live and work there. “Noosa had twice as many residents in their seventies as in their twenties, and a median age of fifty compared with Australia’s 38. This is the ‘Curse of Paradise’ a place so desirable that the workers who keep it running struggle to afford to live there. “Left unchecked, ageing could mean shorter restaurant opening hours, longer waits for tradies and growing demand for care that local services struggle to meet.” Noosa Chamber of Commerce & Industry Acting
Chair Tim Rook said the rapid sell-out of the dinner reflected the importance of the issues being raised. “The response has been exceptional and demonstrates just how important these conversations are to our community. We wanted to ensure that more local businesses and organisations could benefit from Simon’s insights, which is why we have introduced the breakfast.” Council support for the initiative Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie and fellow councillors will attend in support of the initiative, recognising the importance of informed discussion about the region’s long-term economic and community future. The conversation also complements broader considerations within Council’s ten-year Destination Management Plan, For the Love of Noosa, which recognises the importance of balancing Noosa’s environmental and community values with a thriving local economy. Mayor Frank Wilkie commented that forward planning to manage predicted changes in demographics and community needs into the future, is core council business. “Local businesses are an essential part of Noosa’s community, providing employment, services and opportunities for residents. Creating a positive environment in which businesses can operate successfully, while protecting the qualities that make Noosa special, is a core focus of Noosa Council’s strategic planning because it’s important to our future. Quality initiatives such as Noosa 2050 provide a valuable opportunity for us all to collectively better understand the trends and challenges ahead and encourage informed discussion about our region’s long-term prosperity.” The breakfast is open to Chamber members and the broader business community. Tickets for the Noosa 2050 Business Breakfast are available through the Noosa Chamber of Commerce & Industry website: https ://noosachamberofcommerce.au/ event-6832475 With the dinner already sold out, local businesses are encouraged to secure their breakfast tickets early.

A little mystery. Lots to celebrate Discover the art of intimate celebrations at CASK, Pomona’s newest dining destination. Some occasions call for more than just dinner. They call for atmosphere, exceptional food, beautifully crafted drinks and the kind of evening you wish would never end. Tucked away in the heart of the Noosa Hinterland, CASK by Pomona Distilling Co. brings a new level of sophistication to the charming township of Pomona, offering an intimate dining experience where every detail has been designed to make an occasion feel special. Inspired by the allure of traditional speakeasies, CASK invites guests to step away from the everyday and into a world of rich textures, warm lighting and understated luxury. Think leather, velvet, timber and copper tones, creating a moody yet welcoming space where conversations linger, glasses are refilled and time seems to slow down. At the heart of CASK is a love of exceptional food and spirits. The French-inspired menu brings a sense of indulgence to the table, celebrating carefully considered flavours, quality ingredients and dishes designed to be savoured. Complementing the dining experience is an impressive selection of handcrafted cocktails, fine wines, whisky and exceptional spirits, with a particular emphasis on the art of cask ageing. As part of the Pomona Distilling Co. family, CASK draws on a rich appreciation for distilling, craftsmanship and hospitality, while establishing an identity entirely its own. And while the surroundings may feel luxurious, the philosophy is refreshingly simple: great food, great drinks and even better company.

Luna Productions (Supplied) 586123 02 As the celebration season approaches, CASK offers a welcome alternative to the traditional festive gathering. Forget the crowded venues and predictable celebrations. Instead, picture an intimate evening with your closest friends, a beautifully set table, cocktails crafted with care and a dining experience that feels like a special occasion from the moment you arrive. It’s the perfect setting for a birthday dinner, an anniversary, an intimate Christmas gathering or a long-overdue reunion with friends. But perhaps the most appealing thing about
CASK is that you don’t need a milestone to celebrate. Sometimes it’s about marking the end of a busy week, reconnecting with someone special or simply treating yourself to an evening out. It’s about finding those little moments worth raising a glass to, even when there’s no particular occasion on the calendar. For locals and visitors alike, CASK adds an exciting new dimension to the Noosa Hinterland’s evolving food and beverage scene. A destination that feels both distinctly local and wonderfully
unexpected, it offers something a little different from the region’s familiar coastal dining experiences. With its intimate atmosphere, French-inspired cuisine and dedication to exceptional spirits, CASK is more than just a new restaurant. It’s an invitation to make the ordinary extraordinary. So gather your favourite people, dress for the occasion and settle in for an evening worth remembering. Because at CASK, the best celebrations aren’t always the biggest. They’re the ones you never want to end. CASK by Pomona Distilling Co. | 14 Reserve St, Pomona, Noosa Hinterland | Pomona Distilling Co | Spirits Handcrafted With Passion

The Guide HARD QUIZ KIDS ABC Family, Saturday, 7.30pm
PICK OF THE WEEK THE HUNTING PARTY Seven, Monday, 9pm
Gold Logie winner Tom Gleeson has built a career out of roasting other people, but in this family-friendly Hard Quiz spin-off, Gleeson is the one on the coals as four contestants aged 10-13 take on his trivia challenge. What these junior smartypants might lack in size, they certainly make up for in sass. This week, the host grills The Princess Diaries devotee Amelie, periodic table whizz Finn, The Adventures of Tintin expert Zara and fishing show Chasing Monsters fan Atticus (pictured with Gleeson) in their specialist subjects and a few of his own choosing. Their general knowledge is impressive – but it’s the clever young contestants’ comedic timing that steals the show each and every week.
Centred on the hunt for serial killers who escaped a top-secret facility, this imaginative procedural takes a leaf out of Elsbeth’s book by enlisting a wealth of guest stars to play its disturbed fugitives. Will & Grace star Eric McCormack gets this second season premiere started as Ron “the Boogeyman” Simms, who targets women seeking romance, and fixates on former FBI profiler Bex (Melissa Roxburgh, pictured right). Monday’s second episode focuses on a murderer who preserves his victims in resin – keep an eye out for Emmy Award winner Niecy Nash-Betts as Erica, the detective who brought him to justice the first time. Appearances by Kelsey Grammer, Piper Perabo and Kevin McHale are still to come.
Crazy in love: Eric McCormack plays a serial killer known as the Boogeyman.
AGES OF ICE ABC TV, Tuesday, 8pm
Adventure, science and cinematography combine to make this nature documentary one of a kind. Doctor Who star David Tennant’s commanding narration doesn’t hurt, either. The three-part series is a deep dive into our planet’s frozen wilderness and a study of the researchers pushing the boundaries to understand it better. Tuesday’s opening episode joins a glaciologist in Greenland who is tracking a thundering river of “meltwater”, before finding Australian engineer and explorer Dr Adrian McCallum (pictured) on a 535km ski trip across an ice sheet to collect critical climate data. It’s a fascinating look at these fragile ecosystems and those safeguarding their future.

Discover the Silk Road On 21 May 2027, a small group of Noosa Travel clients will set off on an 18-day, fully escorted journey along the ancient Silk Road. We sat down with Barb, who escorted the same tour in May this year, to find out what makes it so special. Firstly, how do you choose the destinations for your tours? When we choose a destination for an escorted tour, every destination begins with an idea. It might be somewhere we have travelled ourselves, a place that has captured our imagination, a recommendation from a trusted travel partner, or a destination our clients have been asking us to explore. But before it becomes a Noosa Travel tour, there is plenty of thought, research and planning behind the scenes. We look for something special as we want destinations that offer something memorable, whether it is fascinating history, incredible scenery, unique cultural experiences, wonderful food or the opportunity to discover somewhere a little different. We consider our clients and what best suits them. Our escorted tours are designed around the interests, comfort and enjoyment of our clients. Then we carefully piece the itinerary together. Why did you choose the Silk Road for one of your escorted tours? The Silk Road was an up-and-coming destination that was probably best suited to an escorted tour as travelling through 4 different countries, can be more difficult to do on your own. I was attracted to Central Asia, because of the breathtaking architecture and turquoise and blue tiles and the mosaics. What was the moment that stopped you in your tracks? Standing in the Registan Square in Samarkand.
Journey along the ancient Silk Road. (Supplied) Three enormous buildings face each other across the square, covered in turquoise and green tiles and brickwork. It was stunning and certainly one of the most spectacular attractions we saw. What were your thoughts on Bukhara? Bukhara has a completely different feel. The old town is a place to wander, with tea houses, domed bazaars, antique carpets shops, lots of local eateries tucked down the lanes. People live and work there just as they have for centuries and carry on their traditions.
Taking in the many sites. What was a highlight of your trip? In Kyrgyzstan, inland from Lake Issyk-Kul, we experienced this amazing eagle show and learnt about the ancient art of eagle hunting that has been passed down through generations from father to son. We all were all able to hold one of the eagles on our arm which was a fabulous experience. How did you find the food in Central Asia? The food was great. In the markets there were lots of fresh fruit including stone fruit, fresh nuts
and dried fruit, and teas that are all locally grown. We had local specialities like plov, a fragrant dish of slow cooked rice, carrots and tender lamb, always partnered with delicious tandoor baked flatbread. Why keep the group so small? We cap it at 10 to 15 travellers. A small group means more personal attention, easier access to sites and local experiences, and a lot friendlier. If you are interested in joining this tour, give Noosa Travel a call on 07 54497000.

Through the eyes of Kusama The recent passing of internationally celebrated artist Yayoi Kusama at the age of 97 – has put a spotlight on her life and work and the towns and cities that shaped her and that honour her. Kusama died in Tokyo on 14 August 2026, bringing to a close an extraordinary seven-decade career that transformed polka dots, pumpkins, mirrors and repetition into one of the world’s most recognisable artistic languages. As one of Japan’s most celebrated contemporary artists, her unique work can be appreciated across the country in museums and within the Japanese landscape. Travellers can explore the places that shaped Kusama’s life – and encounter her iconic works from Matsumoto to Tokyo. Begin the journey where Kusama was born, in her hometown of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture in 1929. She grew up here and began painting as a child, developing her early artistic abilities that would be the foundation of her career. The Matsumoto City Museum of Art has an extensive collection of her work and visitors are greeted by The Visionary Flowers, a towering installation of brightly coloured tulips. There is a dedicated, year-round Kusama exhibition, currently covering her artistic journey from her early Matsumoto works through to pieces from her vibrant, largescale My Eternal Soul paintings, filled with recurring faces, eyes, and colourful abstract forms. While in Matsumoto explore the historic Matsumoto Castle, Nakamachi and Nawate shopping streets for small galleries, Edo period merchant buildings, craft shops, cafes, sake breweries and the imposing Japan Alps that surround the city. From Matsumoto, Kusama moved to Kyoto in 1948, where she studied Japanese-style painting
at the Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts before developing the distinctive visual language that would eventually take her to New York. Today, visitors can see her work in the collection of the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, including the 1964 mixed-media sculpture Travelling Life. Kyoto inspires today, a city that celebrates creative beauty, from shining gold pavilions to quiet bamboo groves and the bright Fushimi Inari Shrine. From Kyoto, Kusama moved to the US in 1957 to establish herself in New York’s avant-garde art scene, returning to Tokyo in 1973 where she continued to write fiction, poetry, created outdoor sculptures, large-scale installations and the Infinity Mirror Room series. She established her studio in Shinjuku, Tokyo until her death. In 2009 she began working on her My Eternal Soul series. Opened in 2017, the Yayoi Kusama Museum in Shinjuku offers an immersive encounter with the artist’s work and reopened on 8 October with a new exhibition, The Light Spreads Out, and Glittering Things Start Appearing All Around Me. As the museum does not have a permanent exhibition, the works on display change from exhibition to exhibition; timed tickets can be purchased only through the museum’s website, with no tickets available at the door. The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo also holds Kusama works including Accumulation of the Corpses (Prisoner Surrounded by the Curtain of Depersonalization) (1950) and No. H. Red (1961), placing Kusama firmly within the history of modern Japanese art. On Naoshima, a small island in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea in Kagawa Prefecture, now known as one of the country’s leading contemporary art destinations, Kusama’s art became part of the
landscape itself. In 1994 she was invited to create a work for Open Air ‘94 ‘Out of Bounds’, an exhibition that brought contemporary art into the natural environment of the Seto Inland Sea. The famous yellow-and-black polka-dot Pumpkin was designed specifically for its setting, on a pier jutting into the sea. Originally intended as a temporary installation, the yellow Pumpkin was retained as a permanent work, helping establish Naoshima’s now-famous philosophy of bringing together art, architecture and nature. Today, Kusama’s work remains part of the island experience, alongside her Red Pumpkin at Miyanoura Port and Narcissus Garden an installation of mirrored spheres. Travellers are invited to see where Kusama’s outdoor pumpkin sculptures began in Fukuoka City. Before Kusama’s pumpkins became global icons, her first sculpture appeared at Fukuoka Art Museum in Fukuoka City in 1994, attracting enormous public attention and transforming the cityscape. According to the museum it first appeared in front of a bank in Fukuoka’s Tenjin district as part of Museum City Tenjin ‘94, before entering the museum’s collection in 1996. It is now displayed in the museum’s outdoor Esplanade. Kusama dedicated her life to artistic creation, pursuing an internationally acclaimed career as a pioneering avant-garde artist whose practice spanned visual art, performance, fiction and poetry. Today visitors can celebrate her extraordinary legacy through works displayed indoors and outdoors across Japan.

Advocating for families Last week I was in Canberra for Parliament, and it was a busy one advocating for the people of Wide Bay and speaking up on issues that matter to families, seniors, farmers and our local communities. One of the most significant moments of the week was speaking in support of a motion recognising Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on 15 October. Every year, thousands of Australian families experience the heartbreak of miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss. This issue is deeply personal to my family. Like many Australians, Sharon and I have experienced the pain of miscarriage. It is a grief that never completely leaves you, and it is important that families know they are not alone. Every child is precious, every life has value, and every loss deserves compassion. Parliament united to acknowledge those families who carry this loss with them and to reaffirm the importance of care, support and understanding. I also joined the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia’s Day of Action at Parliament House to advocate for specialist prostate cancer nurses. Prostate cancer is Australia’s most commonly diagnosed cancer, and the PCFA is facing a funding cut of $46 million from July 2027 for its specialist
nursing program. Almost every Australian family knows someone who has been affected by prostate cancer. These specialist nurses provide practical guidance, emotional support and expert care to men and their families during one of the most difficult periods of their lives. This kind of care cannot simply be replaced overnight by another organisation. The work of specialist prostate cancer nurses reduces stress, improves outcomes and helps men navigate an overwhelming diagnosis. I spoke at the Day of Action and urged the Government to reinstate funding support for these highly specialised nurses so Australian men can continue receiving the care they deserve. There was also an important win in the Senate for older Australians. Labor’s proposal to reduce the private health insurance rebate loading for seniors was defeated in a move led by the Coalition, protecting millions of older Australians who have worked hard, paid taxes and maintained private health cover throughout their lives. At a time when many retirees and pensioners are already feeling the pressure of rising living costs, increasing the cost of private health insurance would have been the wrong move. It also risked placing additional strain on public hospitals by encouraging people to leave private cover altogether. While the Government has reintroduced its bill to cut the rebate, I will continue standing up for seniors and opposing any attempt to make healthcare more expensive for older Australians. In Parliament, I also spoke on the growing illicit tobacco crisis. The black market in illegal tobacco and vapes has become a multi-billion-dollar industry con-
(Supplied) 585834 01 trolled by organised crime groups. Communities are seeing the consequences through increased criminal activity, violence and property damage. We have seen the impacts locally, including attacks on tobacco and vape retailers in our region. While new enforcement powers are welcome, governments must also address the policy failures that have allowed the illicit market to flourish. Reducing organised crime profits must be the priority, and that means cutting tobacco excise to reduce demand for illicit products. Finally, I joined my Nationals colleagues in supporting Australian pineapple growers and defending one of Queensland’s iconic agricultural industries. Farmers are concerned about proposals that could allow pineapple imports from India and Indonesia while exposing local growers to potential biosecurity risks and unfair competition. Growers across Wide Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Central Queensland already face increasing costs and significant market pressures. Australia has some of the best biosecurity standards in the world, and we cannot afford to weaken them. We support fair trade, but it must also be safe trade. Protecting Australian farms, Australian jobs and Australia’s food security should always come first.

Mao’s Last Dancer A special relationship brings one of Australia’s most extraordinary storytellers to Noosa for an intimate conversation about his remarkable life and long-awaited sequel to Mao’s Last Dancer. Noosa Alive! Festival is delighted to present a very special evening with internationally acclaimed author, former world-class ballet dancer and arts leader Li Cunxin AO, in an exclusive Noosa appearance on Friday 6 November 2026. After more than 15 years of attending Noosa Alive! Festival each July with Queensland Ballet, Li Cunxin AO returns for an exclusive evening celebrating his extraordinary life and highly anticipated memoir, The Lucky Son. This intimate in-conversation event offers audiences a unique opportunity to hear the extraordinary story behind his highly anticipated memoir, The Lucky Son – the sequel to his internationally beloved autobiography, Mao’s Last Dancer. Taking place at The J Theatre, Noosa Heads, Li will join respected Australian journalist Michael Rowland for a compelling conversation about the remarkable twists and turns of his life, the experiences that shaped him, and the lessons he has learned along the way. Few life stories have captured the imagination of readers around the world quite like Li’s. Born into a poor rural family in communist China in 1961, he was just 11 years old when selected to train at the prestigious Beijing Dance Academy. That opportunity would change his life forever, taking him from humble beginnings to an extraordinary international career as one of the world’s most acclaimed ballet dancers. In Mao’s Last Dancer, Li shared the extraordinary story of his journey to the West. Now, in The Lucky Son, he reveals what happened next – a life of reinvention, ambition, sacrifice and unexpected opportunity. From his years as a principal dancer with Houston Ballet and The Australian Ballet to his career in finance, his success as a bestselling author and his leadership of Queensland Ballet from 2012 until the end of 2023, Li has continued to embrace new challenges and make an enduring contribution to the arts. Yet at the heart of The Lucky Son is a deeply personal story of family, love and belonging. Li reflects on the family he left behind in China, the life he built in Australia with his beloved wife, Mary, and the experiences that have shaped his understanding of gratitude, leadership, legacy and what it truly means to live a fulfilling life. His extraordinary contribution to dance and the arts was recognised in 2025 when he received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the Prix de Lausanne. Joining Li for the conversation will be Michael Rowland, one of Australia’s most experienced and respected journalists. Across nearly four de-

(Supplied) 587114 01 cades with the ABC, Michael has covered politics, business and international affairs, including four years as the network’s US correspondent in Washington. He is best known to many Australians for his 15 years as co-host of ABC News Breakfast. Together, Li and Michael will explore the extraordinary experiences behind The Lucky Son, from the challenges of navigating two cultures to the importance of family, the courage to follow new paths and the power of dreaming big. For Noosa Alive! Festival, bringing Li to Noosa for this special event is an opportunity to share an inspiring story with local audiences and celebrate the enduring connections that make extraordinary cultural experiences possible. Described by Limelight as “a joyous book about gratitude, persistence and the continuing puzzle of Belonging”, The Lucky Son continues the story that captivated millions through Mao’s Last Dancer, one of the world’s most successful autobiographies, which has been published internationally and adapted for the stage and
screen. This special evening promises a rare opportunity to hear Li Cunxin’s story in his own words, in a thoughtful and engaging conversation that reaches far beyond the world of dance. Presented by Noosa Alive! Festival, this is a special opportunity for audiences to experience one of Australia’s most remarkable storytellers in an intimate Noosa setting. LI CUNXIN AO – THE LUCKY SON - In conversation with Michael Rowland Date: Friday 6 November 2026 Time: 5.30pm (venue and bar open from 4.30pm) Venue: The J Theatre, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads Duration: 1 hour and 15 minutes, no interval Tickets: $40 per person Book sales and signing will follow the conversation.

“Ceud mile failte” means a hundred thousand welcomes in Gaelic and that’s what Noosa Chorale and the Irish folk music group, The Barleyshakes, are promising for their Celtic Christmas concert at the J in December. “Our singers are really excited about this year’s programme,” president Cal Webb told Noosa Today. “We’re singing traditional carols, festive songs from Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, and Scotland as well as a children’s carol in French from Canada where the Celtic tradition thrives in its eastern provinces.” The Chorale’s Christmas Cheer concerts have been an annual Noosa event since 2007 when former conductor Adrian King first brought the idea from the choir he had led in the UK. Each year it plays to full houses and for many in Noosa the concert and singing carols with the choir is the start of their festive season. This is the first Christmas the singers have had a band with them on stage and Cal said, “having The Barleyshakes join us with their Celtic vibe will be the plum in the pudding!” The award-winning Sunshine Coast group—it has won the Queensland Music Award for World Music-- is led by guitarist Alan Kelly of Doonan. He and his wife Kristin who plays violin with the band founded the group in Ireland in 1994. Six years later they relocated to Australia and formed a new band. The Barleyshakes is a fixture at the Gympie Muster and the Woodford Folk Festival and regularly tours Australia and New Zealand. Alan said the group was “pretty excited” to be appearing with the Chorale. “We’ve only performed once with a choir and that was at Woodford. It’s always nice to do something different. It’s going to be great.” And the last word to President Cal: “The hall will be decorated with traditional Nollaig (that’s Celtic for Christmas) style, decorations and a couple of our basses are wearing their kilts. We’re also inviting our audiences to come in something Christmassy or Celtic if they like. It’s going to be fun.” Noosa Chorale’s Celtic Christmas. The J Friday December 11 at 7pm, Saturday December 12 at 2pm. Tickets $53, concession $49. Bookings at thej.com.au

An afternoon of generosity, connection and community spirit saw Reed & Co. Estate Agents’ annual Primavera All’Italiana Ladies Luncheon return to Locale Noosa on Thursday, 15 October. The sold-out event welcomed 151 guests and raised an outstanding $40,035 for Santa’s Classy Helpers, helping bring much-needed support and Christmas joy to local families experiencing hardship. Now a much-anticipated occasion on Noosa’s social calendar, the luncheon continues to demonstrate the remarkable generosity of the local community and the difference that can be made when people come together for a shared purpose. “We’re incredibly grateful for the continued generosity of our community and local businesses,” said Kate Cox of Reed & Co. Estate Agents. “Each year, this luncheon reminds us how powerful it is when people come together with kindness and purpose. The funds raised will directly help Santa’s Classy Helpers spread hope and joy to families who need it most this Christmas.” Santa’s Classy Helpers works alongside community organisations, including The Salvation Army, SunnyKids and the Department of Communities, to provide local families in need with a full trolley of groceries, everyday essentials and festive treats, helping ease the financial pressures of the Christmas season. Hosted by Monique Sommer and Kate Cox of Reed & Co. Estate Agents, the afternoon began with a welcome spritz courtesy of ENOUGH beverages, before guests enjoyed Locale Noosa’s seasonal spring menu. A moving address from Santa’s Classy Helpers offered insight into the challenges facing local families and the meaningful impact of the support provided through the luncheon. The spirit of giving continued throughout the afternoon, with a lucky door prize and raffle featuring an exceptional collection of prizes generously contributed by local businesses and individuals.

Every car has a story Every car has a story and the older the car the more nostalgia can be found. So it is for the latest Hill climb entry, a Datsun 1600 owned by Terence Boardman since 1999 and the fifth Datsun he has owned. The current Datsun has been the training vehicle for the four kids growing up and being registered is driven regularly. Terence’s love for the marque started back in the early 90’s competing in club rally events man-

ful people who share the same passion for having fun with cars”. The latest red car has been modified a little with a two litre Nissan engine with new head and camshaft complete with twin Weber carburettors,
it should be more than competitive up the Hill this summer. Spectators can see the Datsun in action at the Noosa Summer Hill climb held on 14 and 15 November.

Fighers taking on the world Women out on the water By Steve Linnell By Steve Linnell A Noosa Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitor is preparing to take on the world after securing a place at the World Championship of No Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 10. Aydon-Lee will travel to the United States for the championships, followed by an intensive preparation period under one of the sport’s most successful competitors. Sponsored by ByTheRules Conveyancing Noosa, Aydon-Lee trains under Professor Junior Chavez at Gracie Barra Noosa in Rene Street. Professor Chavez is a competition specialist who has worked for more than 30 years alongside close friend Professor Otavio Sousa, a six-time world champion. Aydon-Lee will undertake a month-long training camp at Professor Otavio’s gym in Huntington Beach, California, to fine-tune his technique, conditioning and match endurance ahead of the world titles. He credited his Gracie Barra Noosa teammates for their demanding training sessions and support, with special thanks to Professor Junior for helping develop his skills and connecting him with Professor Otavio in the US. Aydon-Lee also acknowledged strength coach Matt from Adapt Noosa and Dr Vik from Activate
(Supplied) 585983 02 Body Noosa for their work on physiotherapy, injury diagnosis and recovery. He thanked the team at TH7 in the Junction for providing access to ice baths, sauna and hyperbaric chamber recovery services as part of his preparation. The Las Vegas championships will provide Aydon-Lee with an opportunity to test himself against international opposition after months of training and preparation in Noosa.
Women and girls of all ages are being invited to get out on the water and discover the joys of sailing and windsurfing at a free community event in Noosa on Saturday, November 7. The Women on Water – Skills and Celebration Day will be held at the Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club (LCSC), starting at 9am, with a program designed to build skills, encourage participation and celebrate the achievements of women in sailing. The inaugural event will offer coaching with Australian Sailing-accredited coach Kristen Davidson, windsurfing instruction with accredited instructors Jane Baker and Erica Hamp, and an opportunity to connect with other women who share a passion for the water. The coaching sessions with Ms Davidson will be limited to eight participants, while the windsurfing activities will give women the chance to learn and practise their skills in the natural surroundings of Lake Cootharaba. A highlight of the day will be a motivational talk at 4pm at the club’s clubhouse by pioneering Women on Water sailor Ces Woolford. Ms Woolford has competed in six Sydney to Hobart yacht races and built an extraordinary
career spanning sailing in Australia and overseas, business, farming, firefighting, writing, art collecting and advocacy for women’s education and climate action. Remarkably, she has achieved these diverse accomplishments since turning 50. Her presentation will include an informal question-and-answer session, giving attendees the chance to hear about her experiences and the opportunities available to women willing to pursue new challenges. The day will conclude with drinks at the Black Flag Bar and a complimentary barbecue at the clubhouse. The event is partly funded by Australian Sailing through its Sail Our Way project, which aims to increase female participation in the sport. Organisers hope the day will help build awareness, participation and a stronger community for female sailors, whether they are experienced competitors, returning to the sport or keen to try sailing or windsurfing for the first time. All female sailors, past, present and future, are welcome to take part both on and off the water. Registration is available through the Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club website at https://lcsc. org.au/event/women-on-water-skills-and-celebration-day Friday, 30 October, 2026 NOOSA TODAY 33

Heavy season is ahead TALKING SPORT RON LANE Great results from the past weekend. Noosa Coach, Sharlene Kelly wraps up the Coolangatta performance at the Goldie and tells us what lays ahead. “We had great representation at the Coolangatta Gold weekend. “We had 22 nippers representing the club on Sunday for the event and happy to say it was the largest entries we have ever had from the youth challenge at Noosa.” “The junior entries were the most for the competition overall.” For the boat competition the next carnival will be at Tugun on November the 7th. A good result at this carnival would make them a possibility for state selection. From the SSCB (Sun Shine Coast Branch) Rainbow Junior Carnival. Noosa Heads Nippers Impress in challenging carnival conditions. Noosa’s junior club athletes put on a skilful display over the weekend navigating tricky surf conditions to secure 5th overall place in the U11 -U15-point score. A strong squad of 43 Nippers competed across, swim, board, ironman/woman, beach flags and beach sprints, with several standout podium finishes. U11 boys’ results: Swim - Arlo Moore-Barton 1st, Owen Javonena 2nd; board - Julian Vonarx 2nd; iron - Julian Vonarx 1st, Owen Javonena 2nd; sprints - Julian Vonarx 3rd.

The club thanks all officials and water safety personnel for keeping the carnival running smoothly in wet, challenging conditions. Special thanks go to IRB crew members Indi and Jackso for their reliability and professionalism throughout the day, and to the families who supported the athletes in the pouring rain. Finally, a big appreciation to coaches Mike Janes and Gary Javonena whose guidance and preparation continues to lift our nippers to new heights. Noosa Heads SLSC is proud of every athlete who represented the club with resilience teamwork and spirit. We also had 25 nippers compete in the SSCB U8-U10 Rainbow Junior Carnival 2026/27, a promising and dedicated group, to move up into the more competitive ranks when they reach U11.

Too our mates. Under Head Coach Wes Berg, and Jade Berg have gotten the Beach Nippers off to a great season with plenty enthusiasm. The season started off with some 200 children signed up for the popular junior surf life saving program. This program teachers them the most important factor of all, how to read surfing in all aspects, and how to stay safe. Coach Berg said: “It’s great to see the Nippers and parents getting involved right from the start of the season. It’s awesome to see the kids at the beach out there having a go and enjoying themselves. Whether they are learning the basics or building their skills for competition, we want them to challenge themselves to keep improving and becoming more confident in surfing. Its shaping up to be a great season.” The weekly program caters for children aged from six to 13, combining surf skills and water safety with activities on the sand and in the water. For those wanting to take their skills further Sunshine also has a very strong surf sports program, with junior competitors taking part in regional state and national carnivals. The season goes through till March 20127. Once again, the Rainbow Beach SLSC played host to their annual surf carnival and despite heavy rain it was, as always, well attended: and Sunshine Beach took on a team of 50 competitors. The team delivered impressive results across the board, from U9 who were experiencing their first ever carnival, to the U15, who have been part of the journey since their earliest days in the Nip-
per program. Wes, Head Coach, and former Australian coach and professional Ironman of 22 years, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge shared across generations. The Berg family connection to surf sports runs deep with their children, now aged 10,14 and 15, having progressed through the Nipper program, and continuing to compete at high level today,
with Billie Berg having won the Australian Ironwoman U13 title this year. Rainbow Beach had a wonderful start to the season this year, not only showcasing their talent, but also consolidating their teamwork dedication and community spirit. It is these virtues that make surf lifesaving a special part of club life.

SPORT
Griff Peaks in Portugal After three thirds and a second in nine events this season on the World Championship Tour, San Clemente’s favourite son, Griffin Colapinto, chose the right moment to hit peak form in the post-season Meo Rip Curl Portugal Pro at Supertubos, Peniche. Mostly because I have a personal history at the break going back more than half a century, I’ll always watch Supertubos in whatever mood the much-maligned event presents, and it’s not always pretty. This year, following a near-perfect opening day and then a succession of false starts in flaky tide conditions, the critics were calling for Portugal to be scrapped from the championship tour. This one wasn’t, because in Portugal generally, and at Supertubos in particular, you can always expect the unexpected. And that was why, well after midnight on Friday, I found myself glued to the box at an Agnes Water hideaway, watching the best WSL men’s final I’ve seen in a very long time. Three-times world champ Brazil’s Gabriel Medina went into the final as a crowd and bookies’ favorite, despite a scrappy semi win against team-mate Italo Ferreira, because Medina owns the break and was building momentum after two seconds and two thirds this season. When the final began in overhead sets fanned by a strong side-offshore wind blowing up the face of the lefts, Gabby had barrels and huge airs on tap and looked unbeatable. But never count out a “Two Percenter”, as the Colapintos and their over-achieving San Clemente surf buddies are known. In 45 minutes of dog-eat-dog high performance surfing, the four waves that counted were all in the excellent range, with Griff’s 9.43 the highest score, but if Gabby had come out of a deep barrel and landed the biggest air seen all contest, it would have been a perfect 10. But he didn’t land it in the notorious swirl of white water. Wearing the yellow jersey into Cloud Nine in the Philippines next week, Yago Dora is still at unbackable odds to take another world title, particularly with 50 per cent bonus points on offer in the season closer at Pipeline, but now at three and four in the rankings, Colapinto and Medina have put some serious spice into the end of the season. The only Australian to make it to finals day, reigning world champ Molly Picklum also regained the yellow jersey in a hard-fought final against 2024 champ Caity Simmers. With only one of her six waves ridden approaching the excellent range (7.83), Pickles could be considered lucky to have beaten Caity, who was only one barrel exit away from taking the title, but luck is what you need at Supertubos. Interestingly, if Caity does well at Cloud Nine she, like Pickles, will be in reach of a second world title going into Pipeline, where Caity has taken out Molly in the final the past two years. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world… Australia didn’t set the ISA World Longboard Championships alight in Surf City, El Salvador, but there were some notable performances in good quality surf by several Noosa locals. France took the team gold for the second year in a row, this time led by the consistency of veterans Alice Lemoigne, gold in the women’s, and Edouard Delpero, bronze in the men’s.
LIFE OF BRINE PHIL JARRATT philjarratt.com
USA took silver ahead of Peru (bronze) and Brazil (copper). Peru’s Piccolo Clemente won gold in the men’s. The highest placed Australian at Surf City was another veteran, Noosa’s Kirra Molnar who, when she’s not representing her country in the pro and amateur ranks, is the longtime president of the Noosa World Surfing Reserve and a surf instructor. Busy girl, and one we should all be proud of. Kirra finished in eighth place. Noosa’s Smales brothers, Kaiden and Landen, also made a bold impression throughout the event, unfortunately running out of luck in the late repechage rounds to finish 21st and 13th respectively. Overall, Australia finished sixth. Board Talk launch Get out your appointment diaries and make a note, readers. Your columnist’s latest book, If These Surfboards Could Talk, will be launched at Annie’s Books On Peregian on Friday 20 November, with Noosa’s 12-year-old surf culture superstar Hunter Williams doing the honours. As well as my missus, who always gets a dedication for putting up with me, this book is also dedicated to young Hunter, a surfing all-rounder who has been making his own surfboards for half of his young life. Little bro River, aged six, is also now in the shaping bay and both groms will be bringing samples of their craft to the launch. Hunter will be asking me the tricky questions, and we’ll also be screening a sneak peek at his latest exciting video project. And I’ll be signing the perfect Christmas gift for the surfer in your family. There’s a $5 admission charge (which covers cheese, bickies and drinks) and you’ll need to book for this one by phoning 5448 2053. See you at the launch, from 5.30pm, 20 November, Annie’s Books, 2 Kingfisher Dr, Peregian Beach.

TREASURE HUNT AT SUNSHINE PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY “DEPPER is an absolute gem. People are loving the design.’’ Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate is suitably excited at the prospect of bringing a stunning Sunshine Beach house to the market. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, four-car house with pool at 25 Depper St is at the beach end of the street, on the high side of the road, and with privacy from the treed boundary with Bryan St. It goes to auction Saturday, 7 November, at 1pm. “The design allows for large open-plan spaces with really great connection for family togetherness from the upper living level to the pool and entertaining level,’’ Rebekah said. “The tones of stone, French oak and marblelook stone in the kitchen are lovely and homely. “People are remarking on the light because it has lots of high windows and a double-storey glass void too. “The massive subterranean garage is also

a huge hit with car buffs, home gym-buffs and home hobbyists alike.’’ A 2022 build by Aboda Design, the house embraces the expansive sea views, and at the same time enjoys the privacy of a 506sq m corner block. It’s just minutes to the Duke St shops and Sunshine Beach Surf Club. Sparkling walls of glass panes, some stretching over two levels, and matched with high ceilings naturally attract natural light. The multi-level house features a stunning sun-shading system designed to block direct summer sunlight while allowing low-angle winter sun to enter for passive heating. The build combines elements of sandstone with marble and tumbled limestone. On the ground level the north-facing outdoor living includes a luminescent pool with limestone surround, expansive all-weather terrace with fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, plus an indoor leisure space. The upper level is highlighted by the central living space with an eco-fireplace, sandstone feature surrounds and custom cabinetry.
Disappearing doors across the width of the dining and living spaces reveal a terrace with ocean views. A gourmet kitchen comes with marbletopped cabinetry including the lengthy island and preparation benches, a marble splashback and windows. Appliances include integrated dishwasher, gas cooktop and two ovens, all from Smeg, while a Liebherr fridge is in the well thought-out butlers pantry. Linen sheers catch the breeze from the terrace of the main bedroom suite that comes with a walk-in robe and an ensuite fitted with white stone-topped double basin oak cabinetry, pastel grey Moroccan wall tiles and a separate toilet. In the south wing are two bedrooms with built-in robes, plus a study. The bathroom has single basin cabinetry and a free-standing bath. The fourth bedroom on the ground near the pool, has a bathroom; next door is a fully equipped laundry; and there’s also a powder room on this level. The latest security system is in place; and the four-car garage has sizeable storage also
internal access. BIG SLICE OF PANORAMA It’s a highly-regarded precinct and there have been a lot of changes over the years as new homes are designed to take advantage of the outlook - whether to the ocean or to Mount Cooroy. The auction of a three-bedroom, twobathroom house on 5265sq m at Doonan was always going to attract attention. Cameron Urquhart at Tom Offermann Real Estate had five registered bidders for the property at 86 Panorama Dve on Saturday afternoon. With the house set in an elevated position at the back of the property, a crowd of about 30 filled the central living room for auctioneer Gordon Macdonald to call for bidding. “What’s it worth?’’ he asked. That saw a start of $950,000 and quick-fire bidding from most of those registered. Once bidding passed $1.1m it became a very competitive two-horse race and you knew it was going to sell on the day.

Auctioneer Gordon Macdonald calls the bidding for Tom Offermann agent Cameron Urquhart at 86 Panorama Dve, Doonan, on Saturday. With ocean views and light-filled interiors, 2/8 Crank St has ocean views from the living area and has short-term letting approval. LAND WITH OPPORTUNITY Warren Berry and Brett Hage of Hinternoosa will have the auction flags flying in Cooroy early next month with a 4048sq m holding on four titles. The auction, on site at 34-40 Oak St, at 10am on Wednesday, 4 November, offers the flexibility to purchase as one holding or the chance to buy separately if the property does not sell in one line. As such, it brings an opportunity for developers and investors but also for those wanting to build. Within walking distance to the town centre and the Noosa District High School, as well as the golf club and train station, the four titles are all 1012sq m and the land generally level. Early interest has been from Noosa and Sunshine Coast builders and developers, Warren said, as individuals. The entire four-title holding of 4048sq m will be offered first as one property. If the reserve for the entire holding is not achieved, the four individual 1012sq m allotments will then be auctioned immediately. CENTRE OF TOWN It’s right at the heart of Eumundi and offers a rare mixed-use opportunity so close to Noosa.

On offer are five bedrooms, five-bathrooms and seven-car parking fronting the main street. At street level, the commercial component includes an established fitness and wellness facility alongside a separate barbershop tenancy, providing strong exposure to Memorial Drive. The commercial spaces are generating about $109,000 per annum plus GST and outgoings, with the residential component offering potential rental income of about $104,000 per annum.
Interest on the day was from three on the ground and another from interstate, Trent said. The property is now listed at offers over $4m.

ON THE COVER
BEACHFRONT PENTHOUSE, IRRESISTIBLE IMAGINE totally irresistible everything. Think stairway to heaven albeit the ultimate rarity of an exclusive staircase from poolside on the absolute beachfront, to your lavish penthouse and sizeable roof terrace, with sweeping northerly views to sigh for. World class and truly spectacular, from the glistening white sand and azure waters of Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay, First Point and the Noosa National Park, stretching to the Noosa North Shore, Coloured Sands and Double Island Point. “These blue-chip apartments are rarely offered,“ comments Tom Offermann who originally sold La Mer apartments off the plan. “Five of the nine apartments have been owned for over 30 years, so acquiring one will never be easy, however, the six year wait since the last may soon be over for one fortunate buyer acquiring a truly rare collectible.“ Step inside, look along the hallway and admire whispers of the Bahamas with polished parquetry flooring, skylight and colourful artworks. There’s an abundance of space in the well-appointed living and dining area with high vaulted ceiling, classic timber and cane furniture plus blue and white accents. Plantations shutters and tall walls of glass seemingly disappear, to morph from indoors to out exuding an extra sense of space. It is as fresh and exhilarating as an early morning swim and a walk along the beach. Those with a penchant for entertaining will be in their element. The all-white U-shaped kitchen with stone-topped cabinetry including the semi- island breakfast bar high end appliances from Bosch and Fisher & Paykel, every accoutrement for casual lunches or romantic dinners, and for inspiration look to the sea and beach. For the definitive piece de resistance take the few easy steps to the sizeable roof terrace, where it’s somewhat like walking on a cloud. Light up the barbeque and drink in the moody theatrics, as the fiery vermillion orb is replaced by the moon’s glow mirrored over the indigohued Laguna Bay, one of only two north-facing beachfronts on the east coast. Add sides of salty breezes and the sound of the waves. Think forever holidays. There are three bedrooms including the premier suite with a balcony looking over Hastings Street, a wall mounted smart television, built-in robe and ensuite with twobasin timber topped cabinetry.
Two bedrooms share a bathroom; the laundry is fully equipped; and the single car space has a storeroom. A bevy of beachside restaurants, also cafes, bars, art galleries and boutiques are literally on the doorstep; it is a few minutes along the boardwalk to the main entrance of famous Noosa National Park as well as the world-renowned surfing reserve; and take the righthand path on Hasting Street for The Woods and the Noosa River mouth. “When it comes to three bedroom penthouses on the beachfront with sizeable roof terraces, there are just six,“ comments Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agent Jesse Stowers, “and La Mer has the only beachfront penthouses that feature an external ’stairway to heaven’ access from the beach and pool.
“Spectacular rental returns, needless to say are second-to-none, thanks to year-round, backto-back holiday bookings and our idyllic subtropical climate, making this is an outstanding investment opportunity.“

ULTIMATE GETAWAY: SEA VIEWS AND 5-MINUTE WALK TO NOOSA MAIN IF you dream about the ultimate getaway, where the weather is year-round sub-tropical perfection, and your oasis of calm is just a 5-minute walk to Noosa Main Beach, this is it. From the north-facing balcony which joins the open plan living/dining space in a seamless fashion, appreciate salt-tinged breezes, and admire the dazzling azure waters of Laguna Bay and the verdant hinterland, also beyond to the Coloured Sands. The contemporary 2-bedroom apartment with its neutral palette to reflect the outdoors, is seemingly perched unobtrusively in a canopy of rainforest on the ridge of the Noosa National park, in the 5-star award-winning Peppers Noosa Resort, designed by renowned architect John Mainwaring. The galley-style kitchen with its stonetopped bench tops and premium appliances, maximises entertaining options whether breakfast, lunch, or sundowners. A king-size bedroom has a walk-in robe and an ensuite. Also, on this level is a laundry. Upstairs is a ‘heavenly’ primary suite which is drenched with natural light by day and moon shadows over Laguna Bay by night, thanks to a large void. There is another void on the eastern side, plus a walk-in robe and an ensuite. “This red-hot real estate opportunity with an excellent ROI, is so close to the cosmopolitan heart of Noosa Heads, yet is in the peaceful seclusion of its own palm-fringed surrounds,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller. “Within walking distance is the 477h Noosa National Park and the world-famous Surfing Reserve, is a boon to joggers, walkers, nature lovers and of course surfers. “It’s a short stroll to sophisticated Hastings Street with its many bars, restaurants and boutiques, as well as the Noosa Heads Surf Club and sheltered north-facing Main Beach, where safe swimming is year-round”.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY: VERSATILE DUAL LIVING PRESENTING an outstanding potential investment opportunity with exceptional dual-living flexibility, this spacious residence on a generous 1022m² block offers two fully self-contained levels - delivering the perfect setup for dual income, holiday letting, or multigenerational living. Designed to maximise both lifestyle and returns, the property allows you to live on one level while renting or holiday letting the other, creating an immediate income stream. Alternatively, lease both levels for a highperforming dual-income investment. With six bedrooms plus a dedicated office, the scale and layout provide outstanding versatility to adapt to long-term tenants, short-stay guests, or extended family living. Upstairs, beautiful hardwood floors enhance the main living areas, while carpeted bedrooms add comfort. The thoughtfully designed floor plan positions the main bedroom privately away from the additional bedrooms, separated by the living zone for added seclusion. Direct balcony access creates a peaceful retreat, enhancing guest appeal and lifestyle comfort alike. The expansive kitchen with servery anchors the upper level, making it ideal for entertaining - a highly desirable feature for both permanent residents and holiday guests. Downstairs, stylish and durable concrete tiles complement the second fully self-contained living space, ensuring low-maintenance
practicality for tenants or short-term stays. Lifestyle features further increase rental and holiday appeal, including a gas fireplace, inbuilt spa bath, and a sparkling saltwater pool — perfect for attracting premium guests. Solar power improves energy efficiency and reduces running costs, enhancing overall investment returns, while a large shed provides valuable
storage or workshop space. The established grounds, complete with eureka lemon, Meyer lemon, mandarin trees and a thriving herb garden, add charm and selfsufficient appeal - an attractive bonus for both long-term renters and holidaymakers seeking a hinterland experience. Ideally positioned just one minute from
Pomona Town Centre and only 35 minutes to Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach, this property combines strong income potential with lifestyle desirability in a sought-after hinterland location. A rare opportunity to secure a flexible, income-generating asset with immediate and long-term growth potential.
