Fair fight pay heats up By Abbey Cannan Noosa Council workers chanted “CEO has got to go“ and “executive team takes the cream“ in another rally for fair pay in front of council chambers in Tewantin on Thursday 1 May. This came after Noosa Council chief executive officer Larry Sengstock advised unions that staff involved in further protected industrial action from Thursday 1 May would be subject to an unpaid lockout until Sunday night. More than 100 workers represented by the Australian Workers’ Union and the Services Union, who earn roughly $60,000 a year, will lose two day’s pay during a cost of living crisis. “It’s unfortunate it has come to this, but while we respect an employee’s right to participate in the notified action, equally as an employer, we are taking the necessary steps under the legislation,“ Mr Sengstock said. “The impacts of the ongoing industrial action on the community have led us to making the difficult decision of taking firmer action.” Continued page 6 More than 100 workers represented by the Australian Workers’ Union and the Services Union will lose two day’s pay.

Funding reduction By Margie Maccoll Noosa Council set a special meeting on Thursday to decide its future partnership with Tourism Noosa and funding deed with recommendations from staff to reduce its current funding to $2million in a new one year agreement to be developed with Tourism Noosa. The current funding agreement of $2.52million annually expires on 30 June 2025 and a report prepared by council takes into account the continued partnership and council’s progress of its Destination Management Plan. The report acknowledges:

“Tourism Noosa (TN) and Noosa Shire Council (NSC) have a long-term partnership in advancing the Tourism Industry to positively benefit the Noosa Community and the region’s economy. While significant visitor numbers at peak times and a sense of over-tourism have led to community concerns, Noosa Council continues to seek a balanced response to these issues - a response that prioritises community liveability and residents whilst supporting our business community and tourism industry which economically supports many local families and individuals. This is a fine balance and Council is proactively working to manage

these issues through various initiatives including the development of a Destination Management Plan (DMP). Together with Noosa’s tourism industry and Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa has consistently delivered and maintained Noosa’s high brand equity both domestically and in international markets. Tourism has consistently been in the top three most valuable sectors to Noosa for well over a decade – in 2025 employing 4900 people. In FY23/24 visitors contributed approximately $1 billion to Noosa’s economy (comprising $605M in local output (72 per cent) and around 28 per cent made up of other components such as taxes and imports). This

is around 25 per cent of overall gross regional product (GRP).” The 2023 Deed included a range of performance outcomes and objectives for TN which Council said were largely achieved and included completion of a four-year strategic plan, increased stakeholder collaboration and Sunshine Coast airport collaboration. Objectives identified as not achieved included a reduced dependency on Noosa Council funding and a delay of actions of the DMP which were not achievable as council had not completed the DMP.

The 2025 Noosa Queensland Day Awards are all about honouring our generous-spirited local volunteers and recognising the incredible difference their efforts make to our community. There are dozens of deserving nominees who will be honoured at Sandy Bolton MP’s Queensland Day ceremony at The J on Friday 6 June. In this article, we put one of those nominees in the spotlight – Scott Williams AO of Noosa Community Foundation. Scott has been a driving force in the Noosa and broader Queensland community for years, and his latest initiative, the Noosa Community Foundation, is already transforming lives across our electorate. Established in 2023, the Foundation is dedicated to supporting local charities and providing scholarships to students from across Noosa. Scott has a passion for education and philanthropy and since the Foundation’s inception, he has volunteered and worked tirelessly to raise nearly $200,000, which has gone directly toward

assisting grassroots causes and educational opportunities for local youth. “Scott has brought together a dedicated team of volunteers, each with unique skills, and with encouragement supported them to excel for Noosa and all those the Foundation supports. He has volunteered his time, services and energy to building this organisation and fundraising to assist students and charities across the greater Noosa region,“ Justin Morgan, co-director of Noosa Community Foundation, said. Scott has long been committed to community development and was previously recognised as an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 2023 for service to business, education and philanthropy. Some of Scott’s previous roles include as the chair and director of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, the independent chair of the Noosa Council Audit Committee and the Deputy Chancellor of the University of the Sunshine Coast. Now Scott is harnessing the skills he has

Don’t shoot the messenger, back it In the final days of the federal election campaign, Peter Dutton’s decision to lash out at the media was not just desperate, it was dangerous. Labelling the ABC and Guardian Australia as “hate media” and accusing journalists of being “activists” rather than reporters echoed the tired, toxic playbook of Donald Trump: when you’re behind, don’t reflect, just shout “fake news”. Australians saw through that. No amount of spin, deflection or blame shifting could hide the truth. Voters rejected the Coalition’s message. Shooting the messenger doesn’t change the message. Media scrutiny is not the enemy of democracy; it’s the oxygen that keeps it alive. A free press questions power, challenges spin and asks uncomfortable questions. That’s not bias,

that’s journalism. Sure, when journalists get something wrong, call it out. Point to it. Demand a correction. Any credible newsroom will make one. But blanket accusations, unsubstantiated claims and outright falsehoods aimed at delegitimising the media are not just cheap politics, they actively erode trust in institutions that underpin democracy. We see this tactic far too often, not just at a federal level but in local councils, including one our newsroom currently covers. Rather than engaging with the facts or addressing legitimate public concerns, some in power choose the easy path: Attack the media. But in doing so, they expose themselves, not the journalists. That’s why strong local media matters now more than ever. Local newspapers and newsrooms remain one of the last truly independent and accountable sources of community information. They report on councils, expose local corruption, celebrate community success and give a voice to residents. Yet their very survival is under threat. Digital platforms and social media have stripped local media of its commercial foundations, and worse, they have helped legitimise the kind of rhetoric Dutton and Trump rely on. By feeding audiences personalised echo cham-

bers and monetising outrage, they have weakened the public’s trust in credible journalism, while doing little to support its production. Those who benefit from journalism must also help sustain it, and that includes the massive digital tech companies who have profited enormously from republishing, aggregating and monetising news content without paying fair value. Now, artificial intelligence platforms are doing the same, scraping content, harvesting the work of journalists and training their models on material they never paid for. It’s the same pattern we’ve seen for years with social media - extract the value, deny responsibility, and undermine the industry you depend on. This cannot continue. Everyone who profits from journalism must help fund it. That includes readers, advertisers, governments - and yes, the tech giants and AI developers whose empires have been built in part on the work of others. On Saturday, Australians made it clear they won’t be fooled by leaders who blame everyone but themselves. Let’s hope they also recognise the essential role of a strong, independent media and are willing to fight for its future.

Llew retains Wide Bay By Margie Maccoll It was a comfortable return to the division of Wide Bay for incumbent MP Llew O’Brien for the Liberal National Party, winning almost 39.36 per cent or 35,281 first preference votes and 58.43 per cent or 52,132 votes in the two party preferred preferential vote count in the 2025 Federal Election. First elected to Wide Bay in 2016 Mr O’Brien this year experienced a 3.91 per cent swing away from him in the primary vote according to the Australian Electoral Commission with 99.54 per cent of the vote counted. In Noosa Shire LNP gained the majority of votes in all polling places apart from Kin Kin and Cooran where the vote majority went to the Labor Party candidate Elliott Chalmers. This election ALP in Wide Bay gained an upswing of 5.1 per cent of the first preference vote, winning 26.36 per cent or 24,148 primary votes and 37,753 votes or 41.4 per cent of the two party preferred count. The two party preferred vote presented a 2.74 per cent swing away from LNP and a 2.74 per cent swing to Labor. The AEC polling results showed after the two major parties the next candidate to gain most votes was Pauline Hanson One Nation Party candidate Chad Burgess with 11.79 per cent or 10,803 votes which was a 1.59 per cent increase on the previous election. The Greens’ Emma Buhse experienced a 1.32 per cent swing away from last election, gaining 8.18 per cent or 7,498 votes. Family First gained a 5.2 upswing with candidate Kirsti Kenningale obtaining 5.2 per cent of the vote or 4,766 votes.

And the final candidate on the ballot, Gabrial Pennecott for the Trumpet of Patriots party, gained 4.17 per cent or 3,820 votes which was an upswing of 4.6 per cent from the former candidate

running for the Palmer United Australia Party. Wide Bay’s re-elected MP Llew O’Brien told Noosa Today “it was a huge honour to be returned”. “It’s something I take very seriously,” he said

while acknowledging there would be far less of his LNP colleagues joining him as members of the 48th Parliament. AEC vote counting in the landslide Labor victory at time of publication looks set to deliver Labor 92 seats in the House of Representatives, an upswing from 77 seats last election and 42 to LNP, down from 58, but counting continues with a several seats still undecided. Mr O’Brien said he had felt the discontent in the community during the election campaign. “If you’re connected to your community you can feel these things,” he said. “I could tell people were not happy. Whether it was going through the cost of living crisis - people are struggling to pay their bills - or disillusioned with the party generally. “There’s an attitude out there that everyone elected to office doesn’t tell the truth and there’s not generally a lot of trust there.” Mr O’Brien believes the political distrust spanned the nation, all parties and all parliaments and it was up to all politicians to work to address the situation. “There’s a lot of work ahead,” he said. Mr O’Brien said rebuilding the LNP party would be the first priority for his colleagues and he had a few ideas of things that needed to change that he would be putting forward to party discussions. He said he would not be considering any positions, if offered, in Cabinet. His focus was on doing what he thought was right for the people of Wide Bay in progresses their lives and making them happy, he said.

Gympie centre of biggest ever tobacco raids By Arthur Gorrie Gympie and its Wide Bay region were at the centre of Australia’s biggest operation against illegal tobacco and vapes, with more than $20 million worth of illicit products seized in March, the state government has revealed. The record-breaking raids from Central Queensland to Brisbane yielded the nation’s largest ever health authority haul of illegal cigarettes, tobacco and vapes, a spokesperson said. More than 30 locations were targeted under the Queensland Health-led Operation Appaloosa, with support from the Queensland Police Service and the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Officers seized 76,000 vapes, 19 million cigarettes and 3.6 tonnes of loose tobacco, with a combined estimated street value of $20.8 million, the spokesperson said. This came ahead of the issuing of more than $5 million in fines in the first week of massively increased penalties in Queensland. The raids involved locations across Central Queensland, Wide Bay, Metro North, Metro South, and West Moreton. Health Minister Tim Nicholls said new fines were the nation’s toughest and mean individuals can be fined $32,260 and businesses up to $161,300 if caught selling the products.

Fire consumes a tobacconist in Mary Street on 17 April, 2023, in a suspected arson attack. (Bruce Devereaux) “In just the very first week of these new fines, illegal traders were hit with fines totalling $5,094,560,“ he said, comparing this to “less than

$250,000 a week“ in the previous Government;s final months. Mr Nicholls said organised crime gangs had

previously been able to set up illegal chop shops in plain sight across the State, “putting our kids at great risk.”

Resort lifestyle under threat By Jim Fagan Noosa Springs and Parkridge homeowners are alarmed the way of life they and the wider community of Noosa have enjoyed for close on 30 years is under threat. A revamped application for approval to build a luxury international hotel will be decided by Noosa Council next week which residents believe, if approved, will increase tourist and truck delivery traffic, pollution and ecological damage and will seriously impact on their lives. In addition, they say the proposal is not limited to issues of local nuisance and discomfort. Local architect and resident, John Cochrane, one of the four objectors who spoke to Noosa Today said: “Everyone I speak to-- friends, neighbours— have strong objections. There’s a definite feeling of unhappiness, in some cases anxiety, that our tranquil lifestyle will be no more.” “The hotel will displace existing facilities including tennis coaching, school holiday camps, Pilates studio and physiotherapy services. Services which are also used by the broader local and regional communities.” Opposition to the application has also come from Unitywater, the water and sewerage services provider for Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast and Noosa, Executive Manager Strategic Engagement, Joshua Zugajev saying, “We support development that promotes sustainable and responsible economic growth but remain strongly opposed to this development. “The amended plans will still see hotel guest facilities like swimming pools located only 150 meters from the Noosa Wastewater Treatment Plant boundary and 200 meters from its potentially odour generating processes. “Environmental laws will leave Unitywater open to significant penalties if hotel guests complained about odour, and the solutions would cost tens of millions of dollars, with those costs ultimately being borne by our customers – the residents of Noosa. “Council should not approve this development because it knowingly places new sensitive receptors close to existing wastewater treatment operations.” It’s nigh on two years since Hong Kong developers Golden Horse Group, owners of Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort, asked Noosa council for approval to build a 106-room, five-star hotel next to the resort. At that time a petition of more than 450 residents made clear they didn’t want the hotel and at its meeting in July, 2023, council refused the application. “Mr Cochrane said: The developer, through its Australian arm, GHAustralia has submitted revised plans which delete a full wing of the hotel and reduce the number of rooms from 106 to 69. The two-level swimming pool has also been substantially reduced in size. “The amended plans still seek to use land reserved for community recreational benefit for commercial gain. While the plans reduce the number of rooms, they have the same impacts on the adjacent Parkridge residential precinct by locating the intensive traffic, waste handling, linen services and other noise generating activities directly opposite people homes. “In fact, the waste produced by the hotel has trebled in the amended application.”

Kristy King, John Cochrane and Kim Petrovic at Noosa Springs recreational area, the proposed site for a new luxury hotel. (Supplied) Mr Cochrane believes that the impacts due to waste management were vastly understated in the original application. “This has led to a situation where the planning assessment of the original scheme was based on fallacious information – yet the application was recommended for approval by council’s planning department. It is a good thing the council did not follow this advice.” He noted that the revised application has now adopted valid waste generation guidelines which result in a trebling of garbage handling over that declared in the original application - all on sevenday per week collections. He said: “Residents believe the revised application is really only a foot in the door with the potential for future applications seeking to expand the number of rooms, with little chance of council refusal. “The developers have sited most of the building on open space recreation zoned land while leaving available large areas of ‘Tourist Accommodation’ zoned land untouched. It is clear that in future applications, this land could be used for many more rooms. “The whole concept is inconsistent with the provisions of Noosa Plan 2020.”, Resident Kim Petrovic challenged the relevance of information used to support the application. “Many consultant reports (odour, traffic, noise, parking, fire evacuation) relied upon by the applicant are outdated, with some dating back to 2016 and 2017. “These reports fail to account for significant developments like Parkridge, together with Oasis and The Fairways Estates and Elysium which together represent over 50 per cent of the properties directly affected,” she said. “We urge the council to mandate updated,

independent reports that reflect current realities, including increased population, amplified events, and the council’s proposed rezoning of Parkridge Estate from tourist accommodation to high-density residential. Outdated data cannot support informed decision-making.” Phil Dauphin said Parkridge would experience “first-hand the impact of traffic and servicing on residents. So, the Parkridge units along Resort Drive and Lakeview Rise, together with The Fairways, will get the noise of the delivery vehicles going up and down the service road plus the reversing beepers at the hotel loading dock. “What, I think, is being overlooked is the impact of the additional traffic that will use Resort Drive to access the hotel/clubhouse site. There will certainly be additional traffic noise, most notably when vehicles leave and travel up the Resort Drive hill. Also, a need for more regular garbage pickup at the clubhouse, and more deliveries of food and drink etc so more noise from the road/ hill and reversing beepers at the clubhouse loading dock. “I also wonder how the service road can be restricted to just the vacuum excavator (for grease arrester cleaning) and the linen delivery vehicles and vehicles going to the southern carpark. It is only one lane wide so there is potential for vehicles having to reverse to avoid oncoming vehicles and the need to avoid facilities’ users, including children, walking up the same lane to access the gym and nearby pool! “Given the service road passes high above the club swimming pool there needs to be an upgrade to the current pool fencing to ensure no vehicle leaves the service road and ends up in the pool area.” Robert Brooks from Parkridge believes “noisy

trucks will increase the danger to other vehicles as well as pedestrians in this narrow access street. Noise will also come from the loading dock as rubbish bins are dropped and picked up. On top of that there’s the noise from the hotel pool at all hours. “This unnecessary impact will affect the amenity and quality of life whose units face or are close to Resort Drive. Why should long term residents suffer at the expense of short stay hotel guests. Ms Kristy King, a regular patron of Noosa Springs Tennis Centre, said the now under threat centre had developed significantly in the last 20 years. “It is a very much appreciated facility that is enjoyed by Noosa Springs members, junior tennis players, mother’s groups, father’s groups and interstate tennis enthusiasts. “Currently, there are 210 junior tennis players and 140 adult players who participate in the wonderful programs offered at this thriving sporting club on a weekly basis. Programs offered at Noosa Springs include private tennis lessons, hot shot squads, elite squads, adult sessions, female training groups, tennis camps and more.” Miss King added: “There is also Bern Pilates and Physio affected by the proposal. A wonderful business that supports our community in so many ways. About 160 people attend each week. Over 48 weeks, this is 7,680 users per year with many of these people from the Noosa Springs environs, which has an ageing population. “They will be affected by the proposed development. They attend these important sessions as a pathway to healthy ageing, helping with functional autonomy, life satisfaction, and sleep quality. Removing such important programs will have an adverse impact.”

Hotel application returns By Margie Maccoll A revamped development application for a 69bed hotel at Noosa Springs came before Noosa Council’s Environment and Planning committee meeting on Tuesday and was immediately referred to council’s general meeting next Monday due to the significance of the matter but not before councillors raised questions on the application, many originating from community concerns. Since the application first came to Council in 2023, then for a 106-room hotel, a range of issues have been raised including the sites split zoning, the potential odour impacts of the nearby sewage treatment plant, bushfire risk, the impact on ecology, carparking and built form. Deputations have been put to council for the development from the applicant GH Australia and opposed to it by Noosa Springs residents and sewage treatment plant operator Unitywater. Several times the applicant has halted the application process prior to a final decision being made by council. The current application includes amendments to reduce the size of the hotel from 106 to 69 beds with the removal of the pavilion located closest to the sewage treatment plant, reduce the

(Noosa Council report) size of its two swimming pools and increase the size of its amenities building for wellness facilities and increase a tennis court to pro-tour size. A staff report states the “request for a minor change stems from concerns raised by councillors about the scale of the development, which unavoidably, extends into the Recreation and Open Space Zone and partly into the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay (Biodiversity Overlay) towards the east of the site”.

Raising community concerns Cr Amelia Lorentson asked if the applicant could guarantee there would be no expansion beyond the current proposal and staff replied the matter had not been discussed but there was no binding mechanism to prevent someone seeking their lawful right to achieve a change to a development. When asked about possible amenity impacts from increased rubbish collection staff said waste was now being collected daily from a loading dock at Noosa Springs. If the development was to proceed there would be no need to increase frequency of collection, just more bins collected daily with an expected deliverer of the same level of noise for a slightly longer time, staff said. Cr Lorentson asked if sewage odour complaints arose who would be responsible for addressing it. Staff said Unitywater had a duty not to produce odours and odour complaints would be the fault of the wastewater plant. The officer said conditions had been placed on the application to ensure the developer took on a significant obligation to restrict and manage odour including restricting pool usage times, installation of carbon filtration and the applicant had increased the development’s separation from the sewage treatment plant.

Staff said it was not reasonable to require the developer to upgrade the sewage treatment plant in response to odour complaints. Cr Lorentson asked about the impact to the operation of the tennis courts, pilates and other current services during construction. Staff said the tennis court would be able to come back once it’d been constructed and they would seek further information on changes to other facilities. Mayor Frank Wilkie said residents had raised genuine concerns about fire risk, in particular with a single road access to the site. Staff said the reduced size of the development had increased its separation from bush land and reduced its bushfire risk. They said in the event of a fire the developer had evacuation plans for residents to gather in the main Noosa Springs building or on the golf course and an alternate road to Eenie Creek Road and a track could be opened by police or QFES to provide alternate vehicle exits from the precinct in an emergency. Council staff have recommended councillors approve the development application subject to conditions outlined in its report. The application will be discussed at Council’s general meeting next Monday.

Ludo and WildBear to boost Sunshine Coast film and TV Two of Australia’s successful production companies are set to skyrocket the careers of filmmakers on the Sunshine Coast. Ludo Studio (Bluey, Thou Shalt Not Steal) and WildBear Entertainment (Big Shark Energy, Rise of the Dictators) have joined with ShowdownMAX, the Coast’s premier production event, to elevate local film and TV projects for the domestic and international market. WildBear Entertainment principal, Bettina Dalton, is a former Nambour High School student with a hugely successful international career and was eager to work closely with ShowdownMAX finalists. “We’ll lead unscripted development with international markets in mind and help them to a stage where they can apply for development funding or move into production with ShowdownMAX,” she said. ShowdownMAX is a not-for-profit program aiming to make the Sunshine Coast a major screen hub. The event is calling for submissions from local filmmakers, writers and producers. Four projects will be awarded $10,000 of professional input and the ultimate winner will receive more than $200,000 in production funding and support. Ludo Studio’s Development team said working closely with the Showdown finalists, they would offer development guidance on the scripted projects and help bring fresh, original stories to the screen. The Sunshine Coast Screen Collective’s Louise Hayse said the event had already made a huge difference to local filmmakers.

Funding to be decided From page 1 The report also found there was duplication and inefficiencies between TN and Council in the funding and management of events. Council staff recommend the new one-year finding agreement with TN would enable the development of a roadmap to advance alternative funding sources for TN, ensure TN continues to operate as a contemporary and flexible tourism

organisation responding to global economic and tourism trends and allow time for the completion of the DMP. The agreement also includes the transition of sponsorship and management of tourism events back to council. Council’s Special Meeting will be held at 2.30pm on Thursday 8 May.

Council to decide Tourism Noosa funding agreement on Thursday.

The rally headed to Hastings Street, Noosa Heads after their stop at Council Chambers.

Noosa Council workers chant “CEO has got to go” From page 1 During the rally, Noosa Today spoke with Michael Anderson, an organiser from the Australian Workers’ Union who represents these workers. “The CEO is just trying to intimidate them to accept a poor offer that’s on the table,“ Mr Anderson said. “It’s not addressing their cost of living pressure. It’s not providing them a livable wage. They’re four per cent behind neighbouring local councils. The CEO has refused to meet with us since last Tuesday. Their preference is to force it through to arbitration in August.“ Jess Cassidy from The Services Union said the response from council has been unexpected. “We expected to bargain within good faith and also have fair outcomes for our members, and the CEO’s not even come close,“ Ms Cassidy said. “Larry, the CEO, has made it very clear that negotiations are over.“ Mr Anderson and Ms Cassidy said they were both extremely proud of the workers for standing up for themselves. “We’re extremely proud of them, especially heading into the Labour Day weekend, which should be a time to celebrate worker’s rights and their achievements,“ Mr Anderson said.

Council and the unions resume conciliatory talks on Wednesday 7 May. Ms Cassidy said, “It’s absolutely hard for these guys. They understand the constraints that are given to them at the moment, and to show solidarity amongst everybody, they need to stand together and continue to not cross the picket line.“ “What the guys have also done is reached out

to organisations such as a Salvation Army, to provide bread and nonperishable foods. So we’ve got a food pantry starting up at the depot so that we can then supply food to those here today, who are struggling with the cost of living.“ Council and the unions resume conciliatory

talks with a meeting before the Queensland Industrial Relations Commissioner on Wednesday 7 May. In a statement to Noosa Today on Thursday afternoon, Noosa Council CEO Larry Sengstock said the decision to adopt a lockout was largely because the partial protected action that had been accepted over the last few weeks was resulting in staff turning up for work on full pay but not undertaking any of their normal duties. “The backlog in work had got to a point where we had to take this legislative-supported action to allow us to look at alternative methods of delivering the services that our community expect,“ he said. Mr Sengstock said the reference that workers are losing two days’ pay is not entirely correct. “Staff are free to exercise their right to take protected industrial action and not be paid or they can return to work and be paid, “ he said. “As for suggesting it is an extreme tactic, it is our right under the legislation and was only initiated because after offering an additional half a percent wage increase, it was flatly refused by the unions, and we don’t have another meeting scheduled until next week with the Commission. “The current offer will add millions of dollars to an already tight operational budget,“ Mr Sengstock said.

Bookfest benefits many Forty tonnes of donated books and a collection of puzzles, games and DVDs went on sale over the weekend to help fund Noosa Daybreak Rotary’s project to accommodate Noosa’s homeless Since 2022, the group has donated more than $50,000 to assist more than 120 homeless people on the Sunshine Coast with accommodation through an agreement between Noosa Daybreak Rotary and the Salvation Army. In 2021 Noosa Daybreak Rotary members became aware of a growing need for housing and shelter for homeless individuals and families after hearing there were about 40 homeless people sleeping in their cars each night and receiving counselling support from the Salvation Army. “Our club explored various alternative ways

to assist the largest number of people, within our financial capabilities,“ Rotarian Philip Smith said. “After discussions with Salvation Army case workers from the First Response Team, we developed the Salvation Army Rotary Blessing Fund (SARB).“ Through the project more than 120 people have been assisted with motel respite, and a Salvation Army case management officer has been assigned to map out plans for these individuals to reintegrate into the community, and this includes applications for accommodation. The project’s success is evident, with 78 per cent of participants securing accommodation by the end of the SARB support period, and 68 per cent of the remaining participants later on, secur-

ing long-term accommodation. Noosa residents flocked to the popular annual Bookfest that was held this year at Noosa Leisure Centre. Philip said Rotary’s other projects that may benefit from the Bookfest included the creation of mentrual kits which are put together by a group of Noosa women and supplied to women in Australia and overseas who are unable to afford period products; and the donation of books to developing countries including the Solomon Islands and Cambodia.

After that, she went on to become the inaugural president of Noosa Probus, of which she was instrumental in setting up, and was heavily involved in wildlife groups as well as Million Paws Walk and Beethoven, and she helped to raise tens of thousands of dollars for various animal welfare groups.

E-bike Inquiry is welcome The Independent Noosa MP Sandy Bolton has welcomed the announcement of a Parliamentary Inquiry into e-bikes and scooters by the State Development, Infrastructure and Works Committee with a commitment to consider all research and opinions to curb the issues being faced. “The Noosa community appreciates the announcement following our advocacy and call for action last Parliament sitting to see an end to the unlawful riding and illegal e-motorbikes. May this inquiry, and recommendations from, deliver real improvements for safety on our roads and pathways,” Ms Bolton said. Following Sandy’s adjournment speech in Parliament on 1 April, she provided recommendations from first responders, local community groups and residents on what urgent reforms are needed to increase community safety to the Minister for TMR, Minister for Education and the Minister for Police. “These include enhanced monitoring, aware-

ness and education in schools, needed legislation and enforcement powers, insurance, registration for legal electric bikes as well as support for local government to introduce or strengthen local regulations on where these devices can be ridden, as well ensuring compliance of speed restrictions at the point of sale,” Ms Bolton said. With the federal election cycle completed, residents are also encouraged to raise the need for tighter import controls with their Commonwealth Parliament representatives. Electric bikes, scooters and motorbikes that do not comply with Australian Design Rules are being imported from overseas and purchased online, which is only exasperating the issue. Noosa’s State MP will continue her work and will keep the community informed as more progress is made, including when submissions are open to the inquiry and when responses are received to recommendations provided to

the ministers. “We thank the Minister for TMR for listening to our calls and look forward to the inquiry being undertaken as a matter of urgency before any further fatalities or injuries occur. Unfortunately, a motion to have the committee report delivered by 1 August this year failed, with it to be by 30 March 2026 which I find deeply disappointing,” Ms Bolton said. Sandy asks all in our community to assist our police by reporting offenders to Policelink on 131 444 or by lodging an online report at police.qld. gov.au/policelink-reporting. For anyone who has CCTV cameras, you can register with the Community Camera Alliance at police.qld.gov.au/safety-and-preventingcrime/ community-camera-alliance.

Queensland Small Business Month officially launched on the Sunshine Coast on Thursday 1 May with a packed out networking breakfast attended by the State’s Small Business Commissioner, Dominique Lamb. In addition to launching the month-long celebration of small business, the annual Sunshine Coast Business Awards program was launched with nominations and applications now open for the awards’ 30th year. “Small businesses are the lifeblood of our state’s economy. With over 495,000 small and family businesses in Queensland, it is wonderful to be here on the Sunshine Coast to hear from small business owners about their unique business journeys,” Ms Lamb said. Business leaders were also treated to an engaging panel discussion featuring standout local success stories; Robert Boesten from The Mattress Company who spoke on a decade of of innovation in the sleep industry; Alex Harris founder of Noosa4Sale and founder of KoalaTracker who shared insights into business, advocacy and community leadership; Dr Danielle Huston of the Animal Emergency Service who explained the impact of their revolutionary Open Hospital model on client trust and pet health outcomes.

From Auckland to Australia: Noosa’s winter showcase Tourism Noosa has launched its 2025 winter campaign, continuing the successful The Sweet Life in Noosa brand platform to showcase Noosa as the ultimate winter escape. Building on the momentum of last year’s campaign, the new season highlights the destination’s natural beauty, relaxed luxury and local experiences through an inspiring 60-second destination video. The campaign is designed to connect with domestic and trans-Tasman audiences seeking a winter break that blends nature, lifestyle, and

indulgence, defining elements of the Noosa experience. Tourism Noosa’s Destination marketing manager, Helen Mitchell said the winter campaign is all about placing Noosa front-of-mind for key markets during the cooler months. “This campaign allows us to showcase Noosa to high-value audiences in our core markets of New South Wales, Victoria, and South-East Queensland and New Zealand through impactful content and partnerships across digital, print, and television. It’s about reinforcing

Noosa’s unique appeal as a place where you can truly enjoy the sweet life, even in winter,” Ms Mitchell said. In a collaborative push to elevate Noosa in the New Zealand market, a joint marketing campaign with Sunshine Coast Airport, Tourism Noosa and Jetstar will feature destination takeover of overhead lockers of a Jetstar’s A320 domestic New Zealand aircraft. The campaign will also include targeted activity in Auckland promoting Noosa as the ideal winter escape. New Zealand is Noosa’s key international

market, now enjoying the convenience of yearround direct flights with Jetstar from Auckland to Sunshine Coast Airport. The 60-second destination video is central to the campaign, capturing everything from beachside dining, river and coastal experiences, hinterland adventures and luxury accommodation. The video and campaign assets will roll out from early May, reaching audiences as they start planning their winter getaways.

Join tour By Francis Klugman, Principal Noosa Pengari Steiner School is one of only two schools in Queensland to offer a Certificate of Steiner Education (CSE) as our senior secondary qualification. This qualification has been endorsed by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) as the equivalent of the QCE and is currently offered in over 25 schools around the world. At NPSS, this qualification allows us to continue with our nationally approved curriculum from Prep through to Class 12. Consistent with our goal to provide a broad curriculum intended to develop well rounded individuals, the CSE allows us to continue to bring all curriculum areas to the students over Classes 11 and 12, whilst still allowing for students to select from a field of 12 specialist elective subject areas to focus on. Additionally, in Class 12 our students are given the opportunity to pursue any area of in-

terest and explore that from a practical, theoretical, or artistic perspective. In their process they are guided by a school-based supervisor and an external mentor who specialises in their chosen field of endeavour. At the end of this, the students then present their learning journey to the school community and this year we are excited to be extending an invitation to the broader sunshine coast region. This wholistic programme mediates between a classical education and a targeted and selfdirected course, and takes our students on a journey focused on personal development and awareness; moral development and; community and environmental awareness – whilst meeting rigorous academic standards. We warmly invite you to join one of our monthly school tours. Tours are a great opportunity to see the school grounds, student work and to ask questions. Children/students are also welcome to attend tours. To book a tour, please visit noosasteiner.qld.edu.au/enrolment/visit

The beloved Old Cane Shed Surf Mural in Bli Bli has been masterfully recreated and unveiled in a new location on Godfreys Road. Crafted by renowned local artist Owen Cavanagh, this vibrant piece of art now adorns a new structure on Sunshine Coast Councilowned land in Bli Bli. The surf mural is visible from the Sunshine Motorway when heading north shortly after the Maroochy River bridge, near the Amateur Radio Station and old toll booth location. Sunshine Coast Council Division 9 Councillor Maria Suarez said recreating the mural would ensure its legacy continued to inspire and captivate residents and visitors. “The surf mural has long been a symbol of our coastal lifestyle and surf culture, and I’m thrilled it has been given new life and can be enjoyed once again,” she said. “The original mural had been located on a cane shed wall that had reached the end of its life.

Artist Owen Cavanagh said the mural, officially named Yaroomba (meaning ‘surf on the beach’ in the Kabi Kabi language) was inspired by his love of our beautiful Sunshine Coast and those perfect surf days. “I’m super stoked to see the wave mural back in all its glory including solar lighting,” Mr Cavanagh said. “I find it hard to believe 24 years on and it has a new home and lives on for all to enjoy. “The mural reminds us to look after our precious ocean and wildlife, something that I am personally very passionate about. “A special thank you to Sunshine Coast Council and all our wonderful local community the airport collaborated with council to ensure the artist’s mural continues to inspire in its new, highly visible location and was also arranging for the Old Cane Shed Surf Mural to be fittingly retired to Canefields Distillery on a local cane farm.

Tackling the future What will Noosa look and feel like in 10 years’ time? How we tackle transport will be key in determining how we shape Noosa’s future. Will Noosa be just another resident and visitor community, with driving and parking problems? Will parents be in longer traffic queues get kids to school? Will we continue trying to park at Noosa National Park? Will our roundabouts be at maximum capacity, with pressure for traffic lights? Will day trippers still clog up roads looking for a car park? These outcomes are entirely predictable if our community does not have real change now. Can Noosa choose a different path? Noosa Council’s transport strategies outline great initiatives to encourage more cycling and a real modal shift away from private cars. The Noosa Transport Strategy’s Desired Outcome is that “The transport network is designed to facilitate and encourage an overall modal shift away from private car use towards more sustainable transport modes including walking, cycling, public transport, electric vehicles and motor scooters/cycles.” Many communities around the globe have done that, with stunning changes in a relatively short time. Committed leadership in Paris, Ghent, Seville, Vancouver or Utrecht have all demonstrated that people can change, and cities become more liveable. The secret is to build a network of connected and protected cycle lanes, so people of all ages and abilities can feel safe in choosing to cycle. That’s a big and expensive ask, but Noosa could lead the way in Australia, just as it has done for environmental and lifestyle protection in the past. Sadly the current reality is very different, both for residents and visitors. Traffic is choked around schools at drop-off

PF&F president Graham Reid at last year’s E-bike forum.

Traffic talk Noosa Parade bike lanes. (Supplied) and pick-up times, many routes are unsafe for cyclists and visitors experience congestion, reducing their visitor experience. For this reason, ZEN has provided a budget submission to council, outlining several key actions to help get us on track. They include delivering the high priority cycling and walking projects listed in the Prioritisation Plan; delivering on its duty of care for cyclist safety by auditing shared parking and cycling lanes, commencing negotiations with Translink for a shuttle bus to Noosa National Park and Noosa Spit, and introducing paid car parking for visitors now to fund the infrastructure needed. We have found serious shortcomings in cyclist safety, particularly where cyclists share a lane with parked cars. We are reviewing the on-road situation on key routes such as Noosa Parade and Gympie Terrace. Width of lanes do not meet national guidelines and risks of cyclist collision with opening car doors, causing injury or death. We

are emphasising council’s legal duty of care in this situation. We are grateful to Sandy Bolton for getting advice from the Transport Minister re seeking exemption to run a shuttle bus service. Transport was a key issue in the upcoming Destination Management Plan, with four possible scenarios from business-as-usual to transformational. If we want to create and protect a high quality visitor experience, visitors must be able to explore without depending on a motor vehicle. The infrastructure must be in place to enable this choice. There are five key factors to transport success: vision, leadership, political courage, funding and community support. We’ve all been proud to be a part of Noosa’s past achievements, the question is whether Noosa can once again be in the forefront of delivering a sustainable liveable community ready for the challenges of the 21st century.

Peregian Family and Friends will hold a forum to discuss the issues of road safety, road improvement and congestion and parking issues, both at Peregian Beach and Peregian Springs on Tuesday 13 May at 5pm at Peregian Beach Surf Club. Speaking at this event will be Sandy Bolton MP, Cr Maria Suarez, Deputy Mayor Sunshine Coast Council, Cr Brian Stockwell, Deputy Mayor Noosa Council, Sgt Joel Bryant, Queensland Police Service. ”Once again we are taking the lead on some very important local issues which have plagued our villages and surrounding areas over the past few years. In addition, this is an opportunity to ask questions on the lack of improvements on David Low Way and the Sunshine Coast Motorway,” PF and F president Graham Reid said. “We are extending an invitation to all local business owners, particularly those being impacted as well as local organisations who may like to contribute to the forum.” Everyone is welcome, so come along and be part of the solution RSVP to : info@peregianfriends.com

Environment a low priority Once again the federal election has come and gone, but the health of our planet wasn’t very high on the list of priorities of the major political parties. Despite an independent review in 2020 concluding that the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act) was outdated and needed fundamental reform, nothing has been done. When will we start focusing on environmental sustainability rather than economic growth. Ultimately our collective survival depends on human economies operating within the carrying capacity of the earth’s ecosystems. The disappearance of the Neanderthals, Denisovans and other groups some 40,000 years ago marked the end of millions of years when multiple groups of hominins walked the earth. Neanderthals and Denisovans survived for half a million years, and Homo erectus lasted nearly 2 million years. At the rate we are going, it is doubtful Homo sapiens will last another 2,000 years.

Wonderful outback Following the devastation of record floods in the outback, its isolated people implored coastal dwellers not to discount them from tourist plans. Yes, things will not be quite the same as last year’s glossy brochures, but what awaits is wonderful. Last century’s heritage photographs spring to life within the resilience of today’s outback generations reviving devastated farms and the struggle streets of little villages that Noah-like survived. Classic tourist towns such as Longreach and Winton are rejuvenating their offerings with renewed passion to make tourists’ experiences even more memorable with an added personal touch.

The authentic generosity of local people opening their hearts with dramatic insights into their lives and love of the outback comes through at every attraction and in the simple chats in the street, at the shop, or the cafe counter. Nature is redeeming itself by painting the landscape green and nourishing a proliferation of bird and animal life.

While the countryside is blooming, we urban dwellers can set their economies booming. Our country cousins want us to do ourselves and them a favour by getting out to the outback now while the climate is most welcoming. Garry Reynolds, Peregian Springs

The sale was negotiated by John Petralia and David Brinkley, who said the property generated strong interest thanks to its location, visibility and rare standalone structure in one of Australia’s most visited retail precincts. “It might be one of the smallest structures on Hastings Street, but it’s certainly one of the most well known,” John Petralia said. “Its visibility and character have made it a true landmark over the years.” Originally used as a tour bookings booth, the kiosk evolved with the times, becoming home to various food-based businesses in recent years. “It’s a high-traffic position with incredible footfall, and that will always appeal to quality operators,” David Brinkley said. “This sale demonstrates that even the smallest properties can command premium prices when the fundamentals are right.” The new owners are a well-established coffee business with more than a dozen locations across three states. “We’re excited to see such an experienced and reputable brand take over this iconic kiosk,” Mr Brinkley said. “They’re perfectly positioned to make the most of this site’s high exposure and strong customer flow.”

The Guide KITCHEN GLOW UP SBS Food, Friday, 8.30pm

Thank you for the music:

Jimmy Barnes celebrates 50 years of Cold Chisel.

If you’ve ever cooked in someone else’s kitchen and found yourself opening every cupboard and drawer in search of something (why is it always in the last place you look?), this helpful design series will be music to your ears. Professional cook, designer and entrepreneur Ellen Marie Bennett (pictured) wholeheartedly believes in making kitchens that are not only efficient and functional but beautiful, colourful rooms the whole family will want to enjoy. In tonight’s premiere, Bennett is in Glendale, California, at the home of parents Lisa and Richie, who need help with their crowded, chaotic kitchen. It’s all hands on deck as Bennett and her team overhaul and reorganise the small space, with jaw-dropping results.

HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION? 10, Monday, 8.40pm

They say time flies when you’re having fun – so it stands to reason that after 12 years on air, the Have You Been Paying Attention? gang are having a blast. Tonight, Australia’s favourite topical comedy quiz begins its 13th season testing funny folk about the news they may (or may not) have seen during the week. Quizmaster Tom Gleisner returns, along with regular panellists Sam Pang and Ed Kavalee (pictured above with Gleisner) – the former fresh off a successful first season of Sam Pang Tonight – to make light of the week’s headlines. Ahead of the return, Gleisner said: “I can’t wait to get back into the studio. For me, there’s no better way to spend a Monday night.” We couldn’t agree more. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? SBS, Tuesday, 7.30pm

PICK OF THE WEEK From a group of young men thrown together in Adelaide in the 1970s, Cold Chisel has become one of the most iconic acts in Australian music. With a catalogue of absolute Aussie classics, the group has dominated our live music scene for 50 years. The band hit the road late last year with their “Big Five-0” tour to mark half a century in the business and celebrate their passion for performing together – playing to a quarter of a million fans across Australia. As well as capturing the magic on stage during their Sidney Myer Music Bowl show, this unmissable film includes interviews with iconic singer Jimmy Barnes and band members past and present, who share stories of their incredible careers.

Back for a 16th season, this perennial favourite follows eight prominent Australians as they search lesserknown branches of their family trees to uncover the truth about their ancestors. Proving that everyone has a story, their searches uncover stories of love, despair, fortune, survival – and a scandal or three. This time around, Gold Logie winner Tom Gleeson, Patrick Brammall, Camilla Franks, Gina Chick, Matt Nable, Claudia Karvan (pictured), Mark Coles Smith and Marc Fennell discover their family secrets. Tuesday’s premiere episode follows Karvan through England, Cyprus and New Zealand as she discovers the exploits of the free-spirited paternal grandmother she never knew.

Remembrance journeys

Menin Gate in Ypres, Flanders, Belgium - battlefield pilgrims from Australia visit to pay respects ahead of Anzac Day. (Mat McLachlan)

who all served at Gallipoli. Three will forever lie at Gallipoli. Two survived to fight another day on the Western Front and made it through the war, including Gary’s grandfather, and their Gallipoli Anzac relative who went on to make aviation history. Gary’s grandfather, Frederick Gerald Lloyd, landed with the two brothers on 25 April, took part on the May offensive (in which Rupert was shot and killed) coming out of it with a shrapnel wound in the leg, took part in the Battle of Lone Pine (in which William was killed in action), and fought on until the Gallipoli Evacu-

ation in December 1915. Frederick went on to serve on the Western Front – arriving on the 1st of April 1916 in France. “My grandfather served at Gallipoli from the first day of the landings on 25th April 1915 right through the campaign to the evacuation, which for him was 18 December 1915,” he said before he left for his tour. “I have his diary that describes the places he was at, the conditions he experienced, and the death of mates around him. He also took photos that I have, so I really want to walk in his footsteps up Artillery Road to Lone Pine

and visit Shrapnel Gully Cemetery where he took photos of the graves of some fallen mates. “Whilst my grandfather went on to fight on the Western Front and survive the war, we have other close relatives who did not leave Gallipoli, so we want to visit their memorials to pay our respects and thank them ‘in person’ for their sacrifices.” Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours offers commemorative Anzac Day tours and tours throughout the year to Australia’s significant WWI and WW2 battlefields, as well as Vietnam. Visit battlefields.com.au.

The memory of Anzac Day is still fresh in our minds for another year – a moving service of remembrance and history at a local cenotaph across Australia. But imagine being overseas for Anzac Day at places where the battles actually took place. Each year thousands of Australians follow in the footsteps of the Anzacs at Gallipoli and on the Western Front, and while many choose to coincide their battlefield travel with Anzac Day commemorations, remembrance travel takes place throughout the year with specialist operator Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours offering weekly departures of its four-day Western Front Explorer from April to November, and private Gallipoli tours departing any day of choice year-round. “The Gallipoli landings on 25 April 1915 marked the beginning of Australian service and sacrifice during the First World War,” War historian and battlefield tour operator, Mat McLachlan said. “The Anzacs served at Gallipoli for eight long months, before the failed campaign was finally called off and the Gallipoli Evacuation took place in December 1915. Anzac troops then went on to serve on the Western Front for three long years in bloody and costly battles that became synonymous with the futility and horror of war.” “Gallipoli was where the Anzac legend began, while the Western Front was where modern warfare erupted, the Anzac legend was cemented, and where remembrance began. Today, Gallipoli and the Western Front are incredibly meaningful and memorable places to visit, with many remnants from this history easy to be seen.” It feels like something very Australian to do – to visit these places we have heard of at Services and read about in history books. But for some battlefield pilgrims the trip is very personal - including the group Mat has just had with him overseas. ACT pilgrim Wendy Farnham visited the Western Front for the third time this year following her Anzac grandfather, James Bruce Lithgow, who served in the 36th Battalion on the Western Front from late 1916 and was one of the ‘lucky’ ones who made it home. During her Western Front tour, Wendy had the honour of reading the Ode of Remembrance at the Menin Gate Last Post Ceremony. Wendy herself is veteran who served for more than 46 years, including tours in Iraq and East Timor. Anzac Day 2025 was Wendy’s third visit to the Western Front with Mat McLachlan but her first for Anzac Day. Wendy will then join Mat for his Gallipoli Signature Tour in May this year to explore the Gallipoli Peninsula.

Chorale’s war and peace By Jim Fagan Noosa Chorale music director Kim Kirkman has been a professional musician for 20 years and admits he was at a loss for words after hearing for the first time The Armed Man - A Mass for Peace. And now that he has had the chance to work with the choir for its two performances at the end of this month, he has even more admiration for Welsh composer Sir Karl Jenkins’ powerful work on the savagery of war and the joy of peace. “The music is strikingly honest and present. There are no frills. It has an authenticity and impact which very much speaks to the theme of the piece.” The Chorale has twice previously (in 2012 and 2015) presented this powerful and evocative work for Noosa audiences and the impact of the music then and the accompanying film with its graphic images of battle, the resultant ravages and the overwhelming feeling of relief and celebration when peace finally comes produced a standing ovation each time. The film is the revised version and updated version from the historic Concert for Peace at the Mercedes-Benz Arena Berlin to commemorate 100 years from the end of the First World War on November 18, 2018, with Sir Karl Jenkins conducting. He now says it has become an essential backdrop as it adds an extra dimension to the music. Kim said: “We have four singers from the choir taking the duties of soloists for the Armed Man and we will have an orchestra of 16 players. “The first half will start with a plainsong from the Gregorian chant period. We will be singing the Agnus Dei which includes a line about ’grant us

Noosa Chorale, The Armed Man 2015. (Supplied) peace’. We shall follow with the Albinoni Adagio, a stunningly beautiful string orchestra work and then the choir will present Allegri’s Miserere which is a baroque period piece that was kept under lock and key for performances in the Sistine Chapel only. That was until a precocious young Mozart wrote it out from hearing it once! “Then we move to a very special Jewish piece

called Kol Nidrei which is scored for string orchestra and cello solo. One of the choir’s basses, Kevin Bratby, will play the cello part. “We finish the first half with Barber’s Adagio for Strings with a twist. The choir will also take part. The music has been set to the words of the Angus Dei that we performed at the very beginning of this half. This piece is incredibly moving.

“I believe all these pieces are some of Western music’s most haunting and beautiful. A great way to prepare the audience members for an incredible second half with The Armed Man.” Noosa Chorale “The Armed Man—A Mass for Peace” at the J, Friday May 30 at 7pm, Saturday May 31 at 2pm. Tickets $45. Book now at the j.com. au or phone 5329 6560.

Three bold stories, an unforgettable night The Freddys — for free Noosa Arts Theatre is proud to present the 2025 One-Act Play Festival, returning this May with three original works selected from a global pool of entries. With submissions pouring in from across the world, this year’s finalists promise an unforgettable night of compelling theatre, blending comedy, drama, and surprise twists. This much-loved annual event champions bold new writing and showcases the talents of local directors and performers. Audiences can expect a dynamic night of theatre where laughter, reflection, and emotional depth collide on the Noosa Arts stage. The first of three finalists is Benign Departures by acclaimed American playwright Tony Pasqualini. This thought-provoking piece explores life, mortality, and social worth in an aging society, as a homeless woman must justify her existence to a government official. Benign Departures will be directed by the newly appointed president of Noosa Arts Theatre, Tania Nash. Next up is The Mourning After Phil by Rob Selzer, directed by Liza Park. A cleverly written comedy about two recently divorced screenwriters forced to collaborate one last time on a romantic comedy, the play hilariously blurs the lines between fiction and reality as old wounds and unresolved feelings resurface. Featuring

Benign Departures - Actress Jenni Mccaul. Sept Burgiani, Imogen Outridge, Frank Wilkie, and Ryan Carr, this one is full of wit, warmth, and a few surprises.

Rounding out the trio is Hook, Line and Tinder by Australian playwright Sheree Ann Veysey, co-directed by Sue Sewell and Maria Karambelas. This charming and laugh-out-loud piece follows Clyde, a man awkwardly re-entering the dating world after decades away. Miscommunications, mismatched dates, and heartfelt moments collide in this delightful look at modern romance. The cast includes Tara McClelland, Paul Southgate, Bruce Campbell, and Michael Morgan. Each play brings a unique voice and perspective to the stage, making this festival a true celebration of fresh storytelling and theatrical talent. With a mix of international and homegrown creativity, this is one event that promises something for everyone. PERFORMANCE DATES Preview Night: Thursday, May 22 at 7:30pm – All tickets $27 Evening Shows: May 23, 29 and 30 at 7:30pm Matinees: May 24, 25, 31 and June 1 at 2pm TICKETS Adults: $37 Concessions: $32 Members/Groups: $27 Under 18: $27 Book now at noosaartstheatre.org.au or call 07 5449 9343

It’s a unique Noosa tradition that’s been going on for nearly nine years now. That’s live music on the banks of Noosa River every Thursday morning from 10am til 12 noon (weather permitting). Local band The Freddys are the current keepers of the flame, with their classic vintage rock sound entertaining locals and visitors alike. You’ll find them at The Jetty Cafe 186 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. The music is free, but BYO chairs.

Simone back Open day at Heritage Centre Last month Noosa artist Simone Z Leao was in Iceland for an art residency and freezing in -3 degree weather. She’s back now, happy to be home and when Noosa Today spoke to her she had just returned from a “warm walk in the National Park”. Simone’s journey to be an artist has been an extraordinary one and this Saturday 10 May from 2pm she will be at Wallace House to talk about her career which started as an environmental chemical engineer specialising in pollution problems in cities here and overseas. She has now developed a long, unfulfilled talent as an artist, sculptor and garment designer

The Heritage Centre at 17 Emerald Street Cooroy, is holding an open day plus mini-market day featuring a plant and jam sale on Saturday 10 May from 8.30am to 2pm. Everyone has ancestors with interesting stories waiting to be uncovered and with a bit of guidance and the right tools you can bring those stories to life. A great place to start or continue your ancestral journey is at the Heritage Centre, run by the Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical & Historical Research Group. Visitors are invited to the centre where volunteers will be available to answer questions

about the group and show the resources available at the centre to undertake family and local history research. The organisation was formed in 1996 by a group of friends who shared a keen interest in family history and that small group has now grown to over 130 members. The Heritage Centre is open to the public from 9.30am to 1pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Membership provides great value for money access to the research facility and library as well as special functions and expert assistance. Phone 3129 0356 or visit www.genealogynoosa.org.au?

and two years ago she showed her work at New York Fashion Week and last year at Milan Fashion Week. Simone was born in Brazil and lived and travelled in Asia, Europe and Africa before coming to Australia. She came to Noosa in 2020 just before the Covid pandemic. A former president of Noosa Open Art Studios, she said Wallace House was important to her in her early days. “I didn’t know anyone. Everything was closed and Wallace House gave me the chance to meet other artists in the community.” Tickets $30 includes light refreshments. Wallace House, 1 Wallace Parade, Noosaville.

Tigers down but are not out By Julian Pitts The Roccoco Noosa Tigers have been beaten by Brisbane heavyweights Aspley by 19 points in a very high standard and entertaining game of footy at Weyba Road last Saturday. For the second week in a row the Tigers were jumped at the start and while the final three quarters were a dead set arm wrestle, the much improved Noosa side just couldn’t match the experienced and well structured Hornets outfit. When the Tigers had momentum and were coming hard late in the third quarter, Aspley were about to quickly hit the scoreboard just to give them breathing space and then used the defensive side of the ground and stoppages to run the clock down in the final quarter. But a big pro Noosa crowd did not leave disappointed as we continue to marvel at the local boys ‘will to crack in’ and improvement under the shrewd coaching of Matthew Luenberger. Noosa had terrific players everywhere but none better than Rhys Free across half back who mopped up everything all day with poise and great finishing skill. Frank is having a superb season thus far. Captain Jono Freeman booted five goals to be the best forward on the ground against his old club and his tackling and commitment to the cause did not go unnoticed. Youngster Ethan Slaney is in some kind of form. His attack on the footy and skillfull disposal is making him a very enjoyable player to watch in a very good competition. This writer loved the games of Tallis, Buntain, Cooper, Airey, Bamback and thought the switch of local favourite Maccie Johnston into the ruck was instrumental in turning the game in Noosa favour.

Jono’s Christian Surfing wave Jono Bailey has been a part of Christian Surfers (CS) for over 20 years. His passion for adventure, surfing and faith has taken him all over the world and back home to Coolum Beach. This month he will be guest speaker at a Men’s Breakfast to talk about his journey. In his teens Jono was looking for a life of adventure. He had become disillusioned by what felt to him like a safe, sanitized version of Christianity in his local church and yearned to follow in the footsteps of his grandparents who traveled by ship and train in the 1940’s from Australia to live as missionaries with remote communities in the Nuba Mountains, Sth Sudan, Africa. Now a parent of three with wife Naomi and national operations manager of Christian Surfers Australia, Jono has found a community that’s invited him to live the adventure and life of a missionary he craved, from his local beach. “I’ve had so many incredible experiences in CS where I’ve been challenged to live outside my comfort zone and walk a journey of faith with Jesus,” he said. In the late 1990s Jono was living in an open house he shared with two other CS leaders and studying at bible college but was at times struggling with what felt like the stereotypical path of a “leader” in the church. “I didn’t really want to be running Sunday services and preaching on a stage, I wanted to be running surf events and talking about Jesus with surfers on the beach. I think the battle at the time was realizing that serving in CS was just as legitimate as being a “church minister”. I have perspective now that both are important and have their role in seeing God’s Kingdom grow in our communities,” he said. During that time with CS Jono has been involved bringing the Jesus Pro Am to Queensland and more recently the launch of Christian Surfers Aus on TikTok social media platform. As CSA operations manager Jono’s role encompasses working alongside their national director and administrator (Steve and Kath Bailey)

Sunshine Butterflies celebrated its sixth annual triathlon in the Noosa countryside on Thursday 1 May. This inclusive Tri began in 2020 as a creative response to the cancellation of local sporting events due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Sunshine Butterflies founder and chief executive officer Leanne Walsh said, “We are so proud that we can continue to host this amazing event at ‘Our Backyard’ and even more of the community are getting involved every year.” “We are so grateful to the June Canavan Foundation for making this day possible again. We couldn’t do this without them,” Leanne said. What started as a small initiative to bring the community together has since grown into a highlight on the Sunshine Butterflies calendar, eagerly anticipated by members, families, and supporters alike. Sunshine Butterflies Triathlon is based on the traditional triathlon format, but with a twist. Participants took part in three inclusive events throughout the day: a running race, a

bike ride with wheelchairs, and a water-based relay. The day was filled with excitement, friendly competition, and beaming smiles from every corner of ‘Our Backyard’. The event was hosted by Sunshine Butterflies’ very own MC dream team, Pittsy and Liam, who kept the crowd laughing and cheering with their infectious energy. The local charity was supported by many individuals and groups on the day including: Woolworths Tewantin, Noosaville & Noosa Civic who generously donated food for the day. Sunshine Butterflies Partners and supporters Team Body Corporate, Ethical Brand co, Sunshine Coast Lightning players The Noosa Tri Club, Good Shepherd Lutheran College and St Andrews Anglican College, Wise Employment 91.1 Hot FM, Channel 10, and a host of volunteers helped to make the event truly special. The day was described by Sunshine Butterflies staff members as “one of those days that make you proud to be a part of such a special community”. Friday, 9 May, 2025 NOOSA TODAY 29

Dolphins’ highs and lows By Jon Lewis The Ray White Noosa Dolphins A Grade premiership title defence hit a hurdle last Saturday with a 22-19 loss to Maroochydore Swans. On the back of unforced errors and ill discipline resulting in a heavy penalty count, the Dolphins gifted possession and were unable to complete numerous attacking raids against the well drilled and patient opposition. Whilst it was a sole penalty conversion that separated the two sides in the end, with three tries apiece, it was a match that the Dolphins lost across the park with set pieces not at the standard the team would expect. While very disappointed in the performance, coach Jim McKay saw some positives in the result, primarily the lessons to be learnt by his Noosa side. “We had enough ball, and we have the talent, but we cannot compete when we make so many unforced errors. There are lessons for the boys to learn in such a defeat, so that is what we now need to focus on and set in motion strategies to improve,“ McKay said. Despite the loss, the performance of man of the match Ben Walker at fullback was impressive showing speed and evasiveness throughout the match. The scoreboard was not only a concern for the Dolphins with injuries to key players hooker Josh Roe, captain Levi Shaw and centre Albie Polu. With a home match against Wynnum this Saturday afternoon, the medical staff will be hard pressed to get these men on the paddock, however the performance of the reserve grade side in their 22-7 victory will ensure inform replacements if needed. Kye Atkinson in his return match was strong earning man of the match points ably supported by Reon Fortington and Benji Hewitt. The Ray White Dolphins Senior Womens side put on the most impressive display of the day in their resounding 64-0 shutout of the Maroochydore opposition. Back on the field this year following last years absence, the women put on an

Centre Albie Polu in doubt through injury. (Supplied) attacking display reminiscent of past glory days with coach Lawrence Epstein full of praise for his charges. “We are rebuilding girls and women’s rugby at the Dolphins and it is great to see how they are progressing this year with the mix of the experience of Tess Evans, Steivy Te Moana and Tiger Livingston alongside players such as Sarena Manson playing in her first match,” Epstein said. “Women’s rugby is such a growing sport, and

we really want to see more girls get involved, so please, if you’re interested come along and have a look.“ Player of the match honours went to Immy McLeod, with Sarena Mansson, Tiger Livingston and Cella Bonetti close behind. The Friday night competition was a mixed bag for the Noosa men’s team when they travelled to Maroochydore understrength forcing a forfeit. However, in a scratch 10 aside match, the Noo-

sa men were impressive with an 8 try to 3 performance with Max Huyton, Jace Raison and Callum Phillips impressing. New and former players looking for a serious social competition provided in the Friday night comp, should contact the club for details. Rugby returns to Sunshine Beach this Saturday in matches against Wynnum in all grades with women kicking off at 12.30, reserve grade 2pm and A Grade 3.30pm.

Thrilling contests for Dolphin juniors with several wins U14s Dolphins vs Saints The U14s came out firing against Saints at Caloundra. In a hard-fought and impressive game, the Dolphins’ defence was well-drilled, with plenty of technically strong rugby on display. Both teams gave it their all, as reflected in the 12–12 score at half-time, then 24–24 with one play remaining. Unfortunately, the final play resulted in a try for the Saints, with the final score being Saints 29 – Dolphins 24. The 2025 season looks promising for the U14s, with Ro Ramsden joining coaches Ben and Frankie to form a highly experienced leadership group for the boys. Domino’s Player of the Match went to Sidney for his outstanding presence, skilled dominance at number 10, and being a significant threat to the opposition. U13s Dolphins vs University With the sun beaming and the rain holding off, the Noosa Dolphins U13s travelled south to face Sunshine Coast University on neutral territory at the lush grounds of Matthew Flinders. The Dolphins’ coaches knew it was going to be a forwards-dominant game, with Uni fielding a powerful, hard-running pack. Noosa secured the first try in the corner, but University responded quickly with a try under the posts.

But in the final two minutes, the Dolphins forwards rose to the challenge, sealing the match with a late try. Domino’s Player of the Match: Lennox Final Score: Noosa 27 – University 14

U12 Dolphins vs Grammar The U12 Dolphins faced a tough Grammar side in a thrilling contest. Early on, Jake and Alyx combined for a brilliant try-saving tackle on Grammar’s powerhouse forward, with Evan also putting in a strong defensive work. Despite their efforts, Grammar crossed in the corner, slipping through Ben’s tackle. The Dolphins’ forward pack showed strength with a dominant scrum and push. Emerson sparked the attack with a half-field break, followed by a ball steal from Ben and Eddie. Harvey took a quick penalty and surged forward, setting up Sol’s sideline break and Emerson’s try under the posts. With the conversion missed, the scores were level at 5–5. Grammar hit back to lead 5–12. In the second half, a combined effort brought down Grammar’s big runner. Grammar responded. But Emerson’s try in the corner on full-time, followed by Ben’s conversion, sealed a 24–22 comeback victory for the Dolphins. Domino’s Player of the Match: Emerson. U8s Dolphins vs Matthew Flinders Round 1 Playing Flinders away with a last-minute field change, the team ran on through the Noosa tunnel with confidence and enthusiasm.

Mazda is in Brent’s blood By Max Parnell When preparing a race car, Darren Brent really likes to cover all aspects. His late model Mazda MX5 has been carefully modified to ensure it is more than competitive in the Hill climb and race circuit scene. With modified camshaft, exhaust, suspension and brakes it is not surprising that he has stood on the podium at the Noosa Hill climb every year over the past four years. Of course having a varied driving experience also contributes with winning his class three years in a row at Leyburn, second in the rookie 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 9 May, 2025

When asked why The Hill, Darren said “I certainly rate The Hill as one of the events to enter, not only as a bucket list essential for any motorsport enthusiast but also as an ongoing challenge and privilege. The events team are down to earth, professional and highly committed having successfully hosted this iconic hill climb since 1998”.

length of the field: his pace and precision were no match for the defence. Hudson quickly followed up with another try, and Otis rounded out the scoring. The half-time message was to share the ball and focus on passing. Owen showed strong commitment, consistently getting back into the line to stop the overlap. Alfie made some hard, direct runs up through the middle, while Gus responded well to team direction. Hemi was strong in the midfield. Jackson anchored the front row, showing great strength. Domino’s Player of the Match went to Hudson. Dolphins Junior Girls Round 1 vs Brothers Our Junior Girls launched their season this past Friday night, hosted by USC. They faced two strong Brothers sides, and while the scoreboard wasn’t the focus, the smiles on the faces of coaches and spectators said it all. From the opening whistle, it was clear our girls were eager to learn and embrace the game. As the night progressed, their confidence grew. By the end, they were stringing together multiple phases and pushing upfield with impressive line breaks. The girls capped it all off with our first try of the season.

Watching a world championship tour event unfold at Burleigh Heads is something I’ve done very rarely since the Stubbies Pro made its triumphant and unforgettable debut there 48 years ago, but last weekend’s WSL Burleigh Pro opener in fun high performance waves and mostly sunny skies took me right back to the thrill of Stubbies ’77. Back then the headland was choked with spectators marvelling at surfing’s first man-onman event, with only two surfers sharing perfect Burleigh barrels until the climactic final when Michael Peterson, then the best surfer in the world, made his swansong on the podium, defeating Mark Richards, soon to overtake MP as the best. All of this was running through my head as I watched Saturday’s 18 heats of excellent surfing, in which, surprisingly, some of the biggest stars in surfing were dispatched to the elimination round. The women’s opening round went pretty much to script, with Molly Picklum and Sally Fitzgibbons being our standouts, while the brilliant Steph Gilmore showed she’s lost nothing after a year and a half away from the tour, advancing with a second. But in the men’s round a lacklustre Jack Robinson, straight from victory at Bells the previous week, was relegated to the elimination, while two heats later Noosa prodigy Julian Wilson, winner of the Burleigh Pro trials and on the comeback trail after a four-year retirement, surfed a brilliant heat, only to be sent to the elimination by outstanding surfing from ratings leader Italo Ferreira and Burleigh local Liam O’Brien. Jules’ heat total would have won all but two of the 12 heats of the round, but Italo and Liam both went excellent in the air and hit greater heights than the former master of above the lip. When a similar fate befell Californian ace Griffin Colapinto, some extraordinary clashes were set up for Sunday’s eliminations, none more so than the first heat of the round, when Julian Wilson found himself up against Jack Robinson and wildcard Morgan Cibilic, the tearaway of 2021 now fighting back to form and subbing for Ryan Callinan, absent at the birth of his first child. Robbo, a future world champ in anyone’s book, fresh off a win that sent him soaring back up the rankings, had everything to lose here, while Jules and Morgs had nothing. They could go for broke. In waves that were only B+, I have rarely seen a fiercer contest than this, with Wilson combining classic airs from his prime days with unequalled competitive cunning. Morgs threw everything at it, Jules answered back stronger, pulling out all the old tricks, like paddling them up the line, calling for time to panic them, and even having a quiet word in Jack’s ear as he paddled past him. Jack just looked confused. This was masterful, exciting, take-no-prisoners surfing and I loved every minute of it. As I write there is a long road ahead and anything could happen, but make no mistake, Julian Wilson is back. Jack Mac is back on the road My old mate Jack McCoy, one of our greatest surf film documentarians for half a century, is back on the road again with a remastered 20th anniversary edition of his excellent Blue Horizon, with a tour-ending Sunshine Coast screening at Nambour Cinema on 24 May. Born in Hawaii, where he learned to surf with the beach boys, Jack first came to Australia as part of the US team at the 1970 world amateur surfing titles at Bells Beach (and beyond). He fell in love with the country, and ultimately with wife Kelly, and made his home here. I first met him in Bali in 1974, we traded mock punches for a few years as representatives of rival surfing magazines, I worked with Jack and filming partner Dick Hoole on their 1982 film Storm Riders, and we have been firm friends for 50 years. Not only do I admire his incredible film-making skills, which have seen him create a long succession of prizewinning and box office killing surf features, but I am in awe of his tenacity. Jack never gives up, and despite serious health issues in recent years, he remains the king of aloha. Following the major success of his recent The Occumentary tour, Jack is back with an exhausting cross-country tour with Blue Horizon, one of my McCoy favourites. The cult classic follows the journeys of two of the world’s best surfers of the time, both of whom chose a different path to the pinnacle of surfing – Dave “Rasta” Rastovich chose

GOING, GOING ... STRONG AUCTION RESULTS PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY AUCTIONS have been a force in Noosa in the Easter-Anzac period with six of the eight properties selling either on the day or prior. Now a Tewantin property has sold ahead of this Saturday’s scheduled date. Beau Lamshed of Tom Offermann Real Estate saw the Tewantin house at 88 Werin St be on the market six days into the campaign before being presented with an offer of $1.680m that suited the vendors. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool featured open-plan living, a designer kitchen and a vast entertaining zone at the rear. There was extra space for extra off-street parking and boat storage. The buyers, from the Noosa hinterland, were looking to downsize while the sellers were able to focus on their next move, Beau said. It shows that location can be the key, as well as presentation and what the package comprises. In this case the 800sq m block and double shed for extra parking was a big appeal. The property attracted some interstate interest but mainly coastal Noosa and hinterland inspections. Attention will now turn to a dream Doonan property Beau is expected to take to auction late in May. PERFECT RESULT It was a 100 percent success rate for the Watts Property Group on Saturday, 26 April, when Adam Watts and Michelle van der Splinter sold both properties they took to auction. The classic two-bedroom, one-bathroom western red cedar cottage with a carport at 10 Oak St, Sunshine Beach, attracted more than 10 registered bidders and a crowd of 50-60. Built in the 1980s and offered to the market for the first time in more tha 40 years, this Gabriel Poole-designed pole home was set in an elevated position on 518sq m.
