HISTORICAL: THE CHEESE FACTORY
PREMIER OPENS ADDITIONS TO KENILWORTH FACTORY 15.12.1960
The Kenilworth Cheese Factory celebrated a significant milestone with the opening of substantial extensions, a development officially marked by the Premier The Hon. Frank Nicklin, M.L.A. on December 15, 1960,
The Premier, in his address, conveyed his great satisfaction with the development, acknowledging the pleasure of seeing such progress in Kenilworth. Councillor. De Vere, also speaking at the opening, reiterated the company's commitment to progress and development. Mr. W. E. Sims gave a brief outline of the history of dairying in the district.

40lb block. The cheeses are then wrapped in foil and hot pressed in a process which results in the rindless cheese. This process was pioneered in Australia at the Kenilworth factory in 1956.
The factory's journey has been one of consistent growth. Established in 1952 with an initial investment of £146,000 it has become a cornerstone of the local economy, employing a substantial workforce drawn from the surrounding areas, including the Eumundi, Cooroy, and Nambour districts.
Mr. Pat Grehan, factory manager since 1954, taking over from Mr. Ern Sims stated that the factory’s staff was now 35 and the factory operated eight large pick-up trucks and collected milk from 104 suppliers in the Kenilworth, Conondale, Chinaman’s Creek and Obi Obi areas. The wages bill was five hundred pounds ($1000.00) per week. Four types of cheese were produced at Kenilworth:- Coon, Monterey, Mild and some Roman. Mr Grehan further stated that 40lb blocks were delivered direct to chain stores but the majority were sent to Northgate for repackaging in consumer sized packets. The company maintained three homes for employees in Kenilworth.
Mr Grehan described the cheese making process:- it takes one gallon of milk to make one pound of cheese. The whey is pumped off into a vat for subsequent return to farmers for pig and calf food. Acid development in the vats results in the cheddaring process. The cheddar is then chopped into small pieces and salted. Under three-ton pressure it is then pressed into hoops to make the standard
In conclusion, the opening of the extensions to the Kenilworth Cheese Factory marked a significant achievement for the company, the Kenilworth community, and the wider region. Published newspaper articles this information was drawn from: Nambour Chronicle 16,12,1960, page 1; 23.12.1960, pages 15 and 21.

PATHWAY UPGRADES IN KENILWORTH
WHAT IS HAPPENING ON ELIZABETH STREET?
If you have been through Kenilworth recently you will have surely noticed the works happening on Elizabeth street. Tree loppers, chippers and council workers are going about their business to complete the Sunshine Coast Council Project number K7666: Kenilworth Town Centre pathways renewal and place improvements.
This street has long been a hot topic of discussion, especially after busy long weekends when visitors from the coast and city flock to Kenilworth for fresh air and all the goodness our valley has to offer. Many residents have voiced their concerns of safety when crossing the street due to parked cars and shrubs reducing visibility, and the dangerous speeds some motorists still choose to travel through. In addition to the width and uneven surface of the footpath making it slow going and difficult for pedestrians during busy times, especially those with wheelchairs and prams.
potential loss of shade and aesthetics from the “lovely gum-nut tree” and a Davidson Plum.
“Kenilworth can, and does, get very hot during the years so it is rather stupid to replace trees with concrete or pavers because they just absorb heat and hold it. The priority should be be for shade.”
Sunshine Coast Council states that they are committed to increasing and maintaining pathway networks across our Region and the rehabilitation works on the pathways in Elizabeth Street to improve safety & accessibility for pedestrians are part of this $200,000 plan for Kenilworth. The project involves removal of the damaged pathway & construction of a new 3.5m wide concrete pathway. Some shrubs, small to medium trees and timber garden beds will be removed to accommodate the pathway alignment. Works are expected to take 4 weeks and a detailed plan can be viewed at the information centre.
One commenter online said, “The trees and the gardens are the biggest problem, did you stroll down the street this Easter holiday, they create multiple bottlenecks, constantly smell like dog urine and they are trip hazards.”
While others were concerned about the

NEW BIOSECURITY PLAN TACKLES INVASIVE PLANTS ON THE SUNSHINE COAST
The Sunshine Coast is renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity. However, this natural beauty faces threats from invasive plants. To mitigate and manage these impacts the Sunshine Coast Council adopted the Sunshine Coast Biosecurity Plan 2024. The plan provides a structured approach to managing invasive plants, focusing on prevention, eradication, containment, and asset protection listing priority species for each category.
Everyone has a role to play in biosecurity. Being a good neighbour, containing weeds and creating a weed free buffer around your property and along waterways will help stop them spreading to neighbouring properties. Whether it's reporting sightings of prevention or eradication species like those above, managing priority plants at your place, participating in community Landcare events, your efforts make a difference. Together, we can ensure that the Sunshine Coast remains a vibrant and thriving region for generations to come.

The girls' favourite thing about Easter is making chocolate with daddy and the Easter egg hunting.

LOCAL LEGENDS
ANZAC DAY 2025
Anzac Day is a day to remember and honour all Australians and New Zealanders who have served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations, and to acknowledge the contribution and suffering of all those who have served. As a National Day of Remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, it is observed on April 25th every year. For children, it is an important part of our history and marked on the yearly calendar of events to be commemorated in every school. The Anzac values of courage, mateship and sacrifice are respected, acknowledged and understood through the services that are held every year to commemorate, honour and remember those who have served. From Prep to Year 12, Anzac Day is acknowledged, taught and discussed with ageappropriate activities and services.
At Kenilworth State Community College, most of our staff and students from Prep to Year 6 proudly and respectfully participate in the community Anzac
Day service every year. Our students are included in the service, marching down the street with returned service men and women, Year 6 leaders read in the formal part of the ceremony and class representatives lay wreaths. This year the weather intervened, preventing staff and most students from being able to travel into town due to flooded creek bridges and roads. A small group of dedicated students and staff were able to represent our school and gather with our community to honour and respect Australia and New Zealand’s armed forces by participating in a short service in Anzac Memorial Park. Lest we forget.

BIZ SPOTLIGHT: PET GROOMING WITH HEART
Hi, I'm Meiyan!
Before moving to the Mary Valley three years ago, I was living in Hong Kong and working in early childhood education for nearly a decade. My passion was helping parents understand their children's development, especially during the preverbal years when communication can be challenging. Since babies can’t express themselves clearly, I made it my mission to be a voice for those who couldn’t yet speak for themselves.
Arriving in Australia was a culture shock, but in a good way. I was ready to explore and experience new things. I’ve always loved animals, especially my dogs (Ah Sup and George), and had always groomed them myself at home. So, I decided to take the next step and pursue professional dog grooming. Grooming salons however, were not my style. I struggled with the way some dogs were handled, especially those who were
clearly fearful or anxious. Often, these poor dogs were labeled as "naughty" when they were simply scared and sometimes terrified of all the equipment, strange smells and people. Heavy restraint was common in many circumstances, and it never felt right to me.
I thought to myself, ‘is there a better way to give a dog a more relaxing experience while being groomed’something that is likely to reoccur many times over a dogs life. Better yet, if dogs can be introduced in a small way to grooming when they are pups, they are likely to become much more relaxed as they get older.
This prompted me to undertake a Low Stress Handling course, helping me to better understand canine behaviour and provide more compassionate care. I have also recently produced a booklet to help owners of new pups to introduce them to grooming so they are less anxious down the track.
Grooming should be an act of love - gentle, respectful, and centered on each individual dog’s own wellbeing. My dream is to help my clients (your dogs) feel safer and more understood, and to strengthen the beautiful bond between humans and their animal companions.
For professional and caring house call pet grooming in the Mary Valley please contact me via the details below and follow social media for tips on how to connect and communicate with your animals with compassion.
