Music never died
Forty jobs at expo l PORTSMITH AN estimated 40 job seekers will join the marine sector after the second annual Cairns Maritime Jobs and Careers Expo last Saturday. Adam Chanter of the Australian International Marine Export (AIMEX) Group said there were 40 jobs on offer at the expo at the Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron and it was expected all roles would be taken up. He said they included traineeships, shipyard apprenticeships, trade assistants, and superyacht crew, stewards and engineers. Nearly 1300 people took part in the day which included visiting shipyards and the Great Barrier Reef International Marine College, dozens more than last year. AIMEX chief executive officer David Good said the expo had become the largest of the events his company ran in Australia, “proving how important the maritime industry is to Far North Queensland”. “With the Cairns Marine Precinct and Common User Facility project underway, Cairns will become a major marine skills base,” he said. The new facilities required skilled workers and the expo provided a pathway, Mr Good said.

PREPARE FOR BUSHFIRE SEASON NOW
THE music never died at The Beach House, Trinity Beach – it just had a break while owner Harry Delios worked with Queensland’s Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) following a complaint by a nearby resident about the noise in November last year. After seven months of negotia-
tions, music returns to the Vasey Esplanade venue on Sunday. The OLGR pulled the cord on live music performances at the popular restaurant and bar after one year without incident. Mr Delios said he had been working with the OLGR since the complaint and he was delighted that as from Sunday there would be live music every weekend from now on, as well as plans for Wednesday blues sessions.
