Like thousands of families around southeast Queensland, we have emerged from a week of homeschooling a little stressed, but generally unscathed. To fellow working parents, carers and grandparents doing their bit, I salute you, because navigating the world of online learning isn’t easy. To our teachers, who scrambled and worked additional hours to ensure our children could continue to learn, either at home or in the school environment, thank you. There are so many people – especially the frontline workers – without whom we would find this pandemic even more difficult. Everyone has a role to play in keeping our community safe, and Queenslanders have once again truly showed their strength in these past few weeks.
The latest bout of homeschooling reiterates the importance of a comfortable and manageable learning environment. And, with news that 120 state schools are introducing after-hours homework centres, it raises the old debate: how important is homework, and how much is too much? This week, Gail Forrer speaks to parents and educators in a bid to find the answer. You can read the story on page 10. In this edition, we also take a look at one of the Coast’s most talked about projects as construction takes a step forward on the long-awaited $130-million wave pool and tourist resort development. Plus, we have five pages of home style (turn to page 35), local news and property. Until next week, take care. Candice Holznagel cholznagel@myweeklypreview.com.au

AGENDA
When ‘sorry’ is not enough
P
at Turner’s mum died waiting on recognition and redress for Stolen Generations forcibly taken from Australia’s territories. But the Indigenous health leader has been buoyed by a plan to provide survivors removed from their families across the Northern Territory, ACT and Jervis Bay Territory with one-off $75,000 payments. They are part of a $378.6-million redress scheme, including additional $7000 payments for individual trauma support. Each survivor will also be given the chance to detail the consequences of their removal in a confidential session with a senior government official. People will receive an apology in person or in writing. Federal redress payment are among $1.1-billion of measures aimed at closing the health and welfare gap between Indigenous and
non-Indigenous Australians. Ms Turner, an Alice Springs born Gurdanji-Arrernte woman, now wants Queensland and Western Australia to join other states and the Commonwealth in paying reparations to survivors. “Our people have waited a long time for compensation for Stolen Generations survivors,” the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation chief executive told reporters last week. “It is important recognition. I also know, however, that there are many survivors that have died waiting for this recognition, my mum being one of them.” She said “time’s up” for the Western Australian and Queensland governments to follow suit. Prime Minister Scott Morrison told federal parliament the Stolen Generations were “a shameful chapter in our national story”. “We have already confronted it with the (2008) national apology. But our deeds must continue to match our words,” he said.

From March next year, some of the survivors of the Stolen Generations and their families will be eligible for payments of $75,000 under a new national redress scheme. WORDS: AAP.

Decades-long forced assimilation policies meant Indigenous Australians Minister Ken Wyatt’s mother did not see her siblings until she was in her twenties. “You can’t undo the emotional impact that that has,” Mr Wyatt said.
Additional funding includes $254.4 million for Aboriginal-controlled community health organisations, $160 million to support early years child development and $66 million for alcohol and drug treatment services. Mr Morrison acknowledged Australia was not where it should be in closing the gap. “We don’t expect to see clear improvements immediately. But I think the approach we’ve got now gives us the best chance,” he said. “The ultimate test of our efforts is that every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boy or girl can grow up with the same opportunities and the same expectations as any other Australian child.” The commitments build on a national agreement with 51 Indigenous organisations around 17 health, justice and socio-economic targets. Just three are on track. Targets including reducing suicide rates, closing the life expectancy gap, and keeping children out of child protection and adults out of jail, are set to be missed. Labor leader Anthony Albanese said it was a misnomer to call it a gap. “A gap is something that is easily crossed or closed. The unflinching litany of lopsided statistics before us make it clear that this is a chasm.” Stolen Generations survivors can apply for federal compensation from March 1 next year until February 2026. Indigenous people who were under the age of 18 when they were taken from the Northern Territory and ACT, before the territories became self-governing, as well as Jervis Bay, are eligible. Families of survivors who die between the scheme’s announcement and applications opening next year can lodge a claim on behalf of their loved ones.

Sydney was narrowly chosen over Beijing as host city of the 2000 Olympics. The International Olympic Committee was attracted to the city’s long history of enthusiasm for sports, its promise to use recovered toxic wastelands as sites for sporting venues, and its plan to involve the smaller countries of Oceania in hosting activities. The opening ceremony celebrated the history of Australia, especially the unique cultures and contributions of the Aboriginal peoples. Ian Thorpe was a stand-out for Australia in the pool. The high point of the opening ceremony was when Aboriginal runner Cathy Freeman lit the Olympic flame. She later won the gold medal in the 400-metre event.

FEATURE STORY
IMAGES WILDLINGS FOREST SCHOOL BY @LAINETRIBESPHOTOGRAPHY
Work or play: what do our children need? Most children don’t enjoy homework, but the issue also divides parents, educators and experts. Some think it’s a vital part of learning, while others argue it can cause unnecessary stress for kids and families, and detract from important after-school activities. WORDS: Gail Forrer.
U
nder the shade of green trees, a group of young children discover the benefits of using hand tools. They have spent the morning foraging the forest floor for fallen branches, which they now use to create an outdoor shelter. At first glance it may seem unorthodox to let a child loose with a saw, but under careful direction these young students have learnt how to safely handle a wide range of tools. They can also tie knots, identify different flora and fauna, and they understand how to safely make a fire for bush cooking. Here are Wildlings Forest School in Nambour, traditional learning gives way to rafting, climbing and archery. The concept is simple, explains founder Nicki Farrell: it’s about children learning naturally, in a natural environment. The former high school teacher says this type of learning environment helps children develop confidence, self-esteem and creativity.

It also raises interesting questions: is there a balanced approach when it comes to education; and is after-school learning in the best interests of our young learners? It’s an age-old debate. In 1900, Edward Bok editor of the influential American magazine Ladies Home Journal, kicked off an antihomework campaign that led to the 1901 statewide prohibition of homework in California for any student under the age of 15. It was a move that attracted global attention. Indeed, more than a century later, controversy still surrounds the subject of homework. There are the ‘helicopter’ parents who have been both praised and derided for their positive and – what others would consider – over-the-top attitude to any after-school work that will improve their children’s chances of academic success. On the other hand, there is a cohort of parents who are happy to see their young students complete their homework during school hours and

content to be guided by the teacher’s guidance and report card results. Then there are the alternative educators, such as Ms Farrell, who promote outdoor activities and skills as a complement to the regular school curriculum. Of late, homework has been on the agenda of Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk who says, “Homework is a very important part of every child’s education, but it can be a challenge for busy families at the end of the day.” With that in mind, her government created a model for free homework centres which, will “provide a supportive, supervised environment for students to complete their homework”. The new centres are in 120 schools, including Burnside State High School, Coolum State High School, Cooran State School, Eudlo State School, Peregian Springs State School and Yandina State School. The government website promises these homework sessions will be managed by principals and held up to three hours myweeklypreview.com.au

Education Queensland homework guideline developmental level and home circumstances. Homework for young students should be short, lead to success without much struggle, occasionally involve parents and, when possible, use out-of-school activities that kids enjoy.” Wildling’s Ms Farrell agrees with the majority of this research. However, she adds that the students should be included in the question of homework. “We are advocates for children’s right,” she tells My Weekly Preview. She says time after school should be a time for school students to decompress and suggests that for some students six hours of school, perhaps including a part-time job, can make homework a difficult task. “It is all about the students’ welfare,” she says. “School is not a job – and there should be choices.” This includes the choice of doing homework inside or undertaking physical activities outside. Ms Farrell says as we live through COVID and education becomes an increasingly high-stake undertaking, there is more pressure on students than ever, and educators need to take this into account. She says when it comes to homework, “The question should be asked – is it necessary?”

An article by former Ladies Home Journal editor Edward Bok argued that homework was destroying American youth. Drawing on the theories of his fellow educational progressive, psychologist G Stanley Hall, Mr Bok argued that study at home interfered with children’s natural inclination towards play and free movement, threatened children’s physical and mental health, and usurped the right of parents to decide activities in the home.

5tips
For your high schooler
1. Strategy – At the beginning of high school, talk with your child about work ethic, concerns and how homework is best tackled. 2. Develop a plan – Create a timetable featuring school and extra-cirricular activities. This provides routine and avoids feelings of overwhelm. 3. Turn to tech – Apps can make studying fun and more productive. For organisation, try the Homework App, or to block distractions, try Freedom. 4. Environment – Create a comfortable and quiet space for your child. Pot plants, warm light and a scented diffuser are great elements to introduce. 5. Use a mentor/tutor – A professional educator can help take the pressure of both you and your child.

per week for 30 weeks per year. The sessions will be supervised by teacher aides. The exact days and times the centres will operate will be determined by each school to meet community needs. Sunshine Coast resident Nikki Jag James, mother of three children aged between 12 and 16 years, says supervised homework from qualified educators could be a support to parents, who may not have the education or expertise to help in particular areas of study. She says she’s not a fan of having masses of homework, however she does believe a small amount is sufficient to supplement student’s day-to-day studies. “If they get a little bit in primary school it preps them for a larger load in high school,” she adds. Another Sunshine Coast resident, Jenni McNeish, has one son in high school and says the homework centres are a potential avenue of learning for students. However, at this stage, her son is able to finish his homework during classes. A 2006 study led by Professor Harris Cooper of the Duke University in America showed efficacy of homework is much stronger for secondary students than primary students. “Kids burn out,” Professor Cooper says. “The bottom line really is all kids should be doing homework, but the amount and type should vary according to their

JAB INCENTIVES WEIGHED UP COAST ANAESTHETIST JOINS LIFEFLIGHT Three new RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctors are jumping on board the Sunshine Coast’s rescue chopper, ready to bring advanced medical care to patients. With a love of the outdoors, the retrieval challenge has been on the horizon for new recruit Dr David MacGarty for a long time. “It’s a bit of adventure, it’s a bit of learning new skills and becoming more self-reliant as a clinician,” Dr MacGarty says. Previously working as an anaesthetist at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, he often received patients who had been airlifted by the local RACQ LifeFlight Rescue chopper. “Normally we get the handover from the doctor coming in from LifeFlight and we hear what’s happened to get that patient to the hospital, then after that we deal with bringing them to theatre and solving whatever the problem is.” Dr MacGarty joined 24 doctors, who will work on aeromedical helicopters and jets across Queensland, at an intensive training week at the LifeFlight Training Academy, to prepare them for the challenges of retrieval medicine.

Labor wants to dish out $300 one-off payments to fully vaccinated people but Prime Minister Scott Morrison has rejected the plan. Mr Frewen says all alternatives will be considered if incentives are needed to get people vaccinated later in the rollout.

NOOSA SWIMMER’S VICTORY After waiting two years to live out her Olympic dream, Noosa swimmer Kareena Lee has won a bronze medal in a gruelling 10-kilometre marathon swim event in Tokyo. The 27-year-old completed the race in a time of 1:59:32.5, just two seconds behind gold medallist Ana Marcela Cuncha of Brazil and less than one second behind world record holder Sharon van Rouwendaal of The Netherlands who claimed silver. Ms Lee swims with Noosa Swimming Club and as a high-performance athlete, graduated from the University of the Sunshine Coast with a Bachelor of Primary Education in 2018. The swimmer qualified for the open-water race two years ago with a seventh placing in the 10-kilometre event at the 2019 World Championships in South Korea.
TRY A DIFFERENT REMOTE Queensland’s longest-serving Royal Flying Doctor Service remote pilot has spread his wings toward a new tourism venture from the Sunshine Coast. Over nearly 20 years, Sunshine Coast-based Greg King has helped thousands of people in far-flung corners of the state, flown more than 1.63 million nautical miles (the equivalent of about four return trips to the moon) and refuelled countless times at the RFDS base in Mount Isa. He recently partnered with two other pilots to launch Aviation Tours, providing small-group aviation touring holidays. The tours are expected to inject much-needed tourist dollars into remote parts of Australia, which have been hit hard by COVID-19 travel restrictions. Visit aviationtours.com.au.
Sunshine Coast MP Andrew Wallace believes a nationally-coordinated approach, with a focus on providing affordable housing, is required to combat homelessness. Mr Wallace, the Federal Member for Fisher, is chair of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs, which has made 35 recommendations to address the issue. The recommendations include a focus on prevention and early intervention and wider adoption of the ‘Housing First’ principle, which would see housing made available to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness as an immediate priority. The report also says new approaches are required to increase investment in social and affordable housing.
HORIZON FESTIVAL CANCELLED, REFUNDS OFFERED Sunshine Coast Council’s Horizon Festival 2021 has been cancelled. Festival acting director Zoe Graham says the decision came after consultation with health authorities and artists, and with the safety of the community in mind. The festival was to be held across the region from August 27 to September 5. Anyone who purchased tickets will receive a full refund. “The impact of the recent lockdown, the current restrictions and the uncertainty of what may unfold over the coming weeks has made festival delivery extremely challenging,” Ms Graham says.“Council understand this is a trying time for those in the arts sector. Festival organisers have been, and will continue to, liaise with artists and presenters to determine future presentation opportunities for programs.” Visit horizonfestival.com.au.

(Endless Surf ). Elements include “multigenerational’’ one to four-bedroom villas and glamping, free fall, raft and tube slides up to 14-metres high, food and retail, a microbrewery, open-air cinema and water-based activities, including stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking. Managing director Bradley P. Sutherland says that after five years of hard work and millions of dollars invested, the project has reached a major milestone. “What we have just lodged are plans for all the key infrastructure … bulk earthworks, civil works, major engineering … all the big stuff, to light up the whole site’s 25 hectares for
$130-million water-themed tourist attraction is almost ready to roll on the Sunshine Coast, with hundreds of jobs expected to flow. Developer Sanad Capital, which already has approval for the longawaited tourism drawcard, last week lodged major infrastructure plans for the site on Steve Irwin Way at Glenview. This encapsulates bulk earthworks, civil works, drainage, stormwater, vegetation clearing, road access and carparking and could mean a project start date is just months away. Sanad’s plans incorporate a 160-villa family resort called Invigorate, a water park (Actventure) and wave pool
construction,’’ Mr Sutherland says. “It is very exciting and so much is about to happen. “What we are doing will be great for the local economy during the construction phase and then deliver many ongoing benefits. “Once fully operational, it is estimated that Actventure, Invigorate Resort and Endless Surf will support some 320 jobs, many suited to the Sunshine Coast’s young people. “The construction wages bill alone over the life of the project is expected to be more than $30 million and we will be generating some 364 construction jobs, or an average of 150 FTE workers for each year of construction.’’
Sunshine Coast Council will now have 45 working days to look at the infrastructure plans and then the more detailed design work on buildings will follow. Mr Sutherland says much already has been done on this and he hopes the detailed design would be signed off by the end of September. “We could be coming out of the ground by November with early bulk earthworks. “We want to work on many of the elements simultaneously and open everything at Christmas in 2023.’’ The “cocooning’’ or staycation boom related to COVID-19, and Brisbane and southeast Queensland’s coup in securing the 2032 Olympic Games, are expected to deliver a major boost to the attraction. So, too, will the region’s anticipated growth.

“We want to work on many of the elments simulataneously and open everything at Christmas 2023” for visiting friends and relatives,’’ the Urban Economics report says. A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson says the Actventure water park proposal on Steve Irwin Way has a number of land use approvals in place and two current applications under consideration.
“In April 2015, council approved the first application to create the Sunshine Coast Water Park Master Plan over the site,” the spokesperson says. “Bulk earthworks and a number of land use applications have since been approved, including a resort complex and tourist attraction. “In accordance with council’s approval and before construction can commence, a number of further permits and infrastructure is required.” Just 20 kilometres south, at Moby Vic’s Glass House Mountains, the wave pool project proposed by Surf Parks Australia is also advancing. It is applying for a material change of use that would allow two rural-zoned parcels to be used for tourism. The Public Notification period, where people can make submissions, is underway.

No regrets for local lawyer Sunshine Coast lawyer Belinda Robinson may not have won The Bachelor’s heart, but she’s certainly winning at life – and she’s not giving up on love. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.
A
passionate Sunshine Coast criminal lawyer is not giving up on her search for love as she settles back into life after her time on popular reality show, The Bachelor. Belinda Robinson appeared on season nine of the series hoping to win the heart of this year’s bachelor Jimmy Nicholson. With four law degrees under her belt, the 29-year-old has spent her life forging a successful career and overcoming her fair share of adversities. “I moved to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney at age 15 when my dad was offered a managerial position at Sunshine Coast Council. “I went to four different high schools due to my family relocating around. “My schooling was disrupted and I dropped out of school at age 16. “Against every adversity, I completed an adult tertiary bridging course at TAFE at 16, when I wasn’t even an adult yet, to receive the highest possible OP from the course, then I went straight into studying law at age 17.”
Belinda on set with Jimmy Nicholson IMAGES: NETWORK TEN
Ms Robinson was admitted to the Roll of Solicitors at the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2015 at age 23, and says she loves the diversity of her job. “It’s honestly such an incredible career,” she tells My Weekly Preview. “It’s such a dynamic and exciting and fast-paced job and every day is different. “You never know what is going to come across your desk from drugs, weapons, assaults or sex offences right up to murder.” Always knowing she wanted to help people, Ms Robinson’s dream ignited at age 24 after her father, David, lost a four-year battle with motor neurone disease. “I’m such a people person and I always wanted to do something where I could help people and make a significant impact on people’s lives,” she says. “I have used my own personal pain and my negative circumstances to fuel me to find fulfilment in helping suffering people every day and to push me to achieve my dream life, and I hope to inspire others in that way.”
So focussed on her career, Ms Robinson tells My Weekly Preview she has never had the opportunity to meet the man of her dreams. “I am so married to my job and so work focussed it’s hard for me to meet people, so that’s really the reason why I went on the show.” Ms Robinson was eliminated from The Bachelor after two episodes, leaving with one of the most spectacular exit lines in the show’s history saying: “He’s missed out on the shining light that I am”. Despite not falling in love, she enjoyed every minute in the Bachelor mansion. “I loved every second of it. Obviously I’m sad I didn’t get to explore the connection with (Jimmy), but he is such an incredible, genuine, kind-hearted person. “He was there for the right reasons and I hope he finds his soul mate at the end. “Watching it back, what you see is exactly how it was and how everything is with the other girls, the cocktail parties and the dates, and Jimmy and
Osher (Günsberg). “You wouldn’t even know the cameras are there, it was all happening like it was in real life. You are in the moment and it was so natural.” Back on the Coast, Ms Robinson recently purchased a home at Peregian Springs and continues to work as a criminal lawyer, with plans to hit the books again next year. “I’m going to keep doing law-related degrees because I’m really passionate about furthering my education and studies.” The sports car and NRL fan hopes “Mr Right” is just around the corner and will be someone she can share her interests with. “Hopefully I will continue to have the opportunities to meet someone. The show does put you out there. “I have a Mustang and I love cars, muscle cars, sports cars, luxury cars – cars are one of my big passions. I’m such an adrenaline junkie. “In a potential partner, that is something I’d probably look for as well, someone with those common interests.”
Their spirit. Your love. Our encouragement. *URZLQJ \RXU FKLOG WR ÁRXULVK WKURXJK OLIH·V DGYHQWXUHV 3URYLGLQJ IRU FKLOGUHQ DJHG PRQWKV %RRN D SHUVRQDOLVHG WRXU WRGD\ 16 My Weekly Preview | August 12, 2021

DOGGY TREATS HIT THE SPOT A Coolum dog lover has teamed up with Krispy Kreme to create doughnut-flavoured dog biscuits. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.
A
Sunshine Coast-based business is celebrating sweet success as it prepares to offer a real treat for dogs and their owners this International Dog Day.
Huds and Toke are forging the way in pet food innovation, manufacturing gourmet dog and horse treats and teamed up with Krispy Kreme to create a range of dog-friendly treats that replicate some of
the world’s favourite doughnut flavours. Coolum’s Emma Gibbons first began manufacturing pet-friendly biscuits eight years ago after she noticed a gap in the market. “When we started people were still buying pig’s ears as treats for dogs,” she says. “We were working in the wholesale of dried meat products for animals across Australia and I saw a massive gap in the industry. We wanted to give our dog a birthday cake and there was nothing really out there so we had a look into what we could get into manufacturing and came up with a few recipe ideas.” Wanting to create something that was delicious and healthy for dogs, Ms Gibbons also wanted to “Australia-proof”

the product, making it suitable to be transported across the country in hot and damp conditions, and to export overseas. Huds and Toke came up with a preservative-free recipe low in fat and sugar and manufacture its products using a unique drying technique. “They are an all-natural nut-based biscuit the dog can enjoy chewing for a while. Dogs love that peanut butter flavour and that allows us to be appealing across a broad range of dogs; they generally can’t resist it.” Employing 10 women locally, Huds and Toke currently export to Japan and Singapore, with products then distributed across the Asia-Pacific. Ms Gibbons says the company is also looking to launch into the US market. Ms Gibbons has been recognised locally for her efforts, winning the micro category of the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network awards in 2014 and being nominated again in 2019 in the corporate category. Huds and Toke’s limited edition doggie doughnut collaboration with Krispy Kreme is available in the lead-up to International Dog Day on August 26.

The brains behind our new CBD Bronwyn Adams is one of the key planners who are building a new regional city centre. It’s an exciting time for her, the people she works with and the region. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.
A
s the new Maroochydore CBD slowly takes shape, have you stopped to think who the creative minds are behind its creation? A key player is urban strategist Bronwyn Adams, project manager for City Activation at SunCentral. It’s her job to come up with creative ways to bring a soul to this greenfield project. Drawing on her favourite city Barcelona for inspiration, Ms Adams wants to create a similar vibrant seaside culture here, where people seamlessly intertwine their personal, professional and commercial lives and enjoy a warm, outdoors climate rich in arts and cultural activities that connect people. Originally from Melbourne, Ms Adams moved to the Sunshine Coast in 2004 and lives in Peregian. Her passion is discovering innovative and creative placemaking strategies that breathe life into new projects and places. “It’s a vastly different landscape that we live and work in now to when I first arrived,” she says. “I think it really started to shift around the 2009
Bronwyn Adams addresses The Design Series Future Coast event period, after the GFC. Everyone started to get to gather and build different community groups and work on exciting and different projects. The last six years has transformed the Coast.” Ms Adams first studied environmental science and worked in a multidisciplinary consultancy where she first started to see the impact of how people work together on place design. She immediately knew that’s what she wanted to do, going on to study a Masters of Social Science (Urban Planning and Environment) at RMIT. “I was originally lecturing at the University of the Sunshine Coast in urban planning and design,” she says. “Then I really wanted to apply my learning more closely.” In 2016 she took a job as senior urban designer with James Birrell Design Lab in Maroochydore, co-founded the public green at Peregian, became an executive with the Maroochydore Revitalisation Association (responsible for the revamped Ocean Street) and in 2017, co-founded the
successful Peregian Digital Hub with Ben Duncan. “It’s always about connecting people,” she says. “It’s about creating relationships and enabling people to build their ideas, helping them to broker them. I do a lot of brokering and getting things off the ground.” Since she took on her current role in March 2018, Ms Adams has helped create flagship programs to transform the old Horton Park Golf Club site into a new city centre with a sense of community. The creative cornerstone of the Maroochydore City Centre Activation Strategy is the Metropolitan, known as the MET. It is a flexible space designed to bring the community and industry together through events, exhibitions and programs. It is the home of the flagship arts and cultural programs The Refinery Creative Incubator, The Design Series, City Makers and yourcity.yourstory – a curatorial framework capturing this new chapter in the city story. “What I love about my job is that I love
the people,” she says. “I love what happens when people connect with ideas and actively make them happen. I love watching wide audiences come together from all different types of life and age groups and I love watching them enjoy those experiences that you kind of knew were missing on the Coast – they are really embracing them.” The 53-hectare Maroochydore CBD development still has another 10 to 15 years before it will be completed, so it’s still early days. Ms Adams juggles two kids with her busy job, but says she’s grateful for the experience of being a pioneering placemaker in a greenfield CBD. “I feel really fulfilled within this role,” she says. “All of my roles and all the work I’ve done on the Coast have never been easy, but the people I’ve worked with and the experiences I’ve had and how I’ve been able to broaden my own skill base have been great. One thing I often reflect on with other people is the opportunities on the Coast – if you’re willing to have a go – are enormous. I hold my community and all the people I work with with such deep regard. I feel the more projects I do, the more I feel connected to this whole place.”

medical treatment. Local cancer support service Bloomhill Cancer Care and TAFE Queensland will partner with not-forprofit organisation Wishlist to provide
vital services within the organisation’s new flagship project, Wishlist Centre. Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe says she is thrilled to announce the first partnerships as part of the new facility, which is currently under construction in Birtinya. “These partners align with the facility’s vision, offering a range of supportive services that will benefit patients and carers – including yoga therapy, meditation classes, acupuncture, massage, counselling, reflexology, beauty and hairdressing,” Ms Rowe says. “This time next year, patients will only need to cross the road before or after treatment to receive a little extra care during their health journey.” Bloomhill Cancer Care CEO Christopher John says through the partnership, individualised support for people impacted by cancer will be within arm’s length of the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. “As a provider of community-based wellness services to people living with cancer and their loved ones, we see the potential of this facility to bring the community together to access the health services they need,” Mr John says. “In collaboration with Wishlist, we plan to provide allied health, therapies and clinical nursing services we know make a difference to those touched by
cancer, supporting the great treatment that people receive at Sunshine Coast hospitals and health services.” Local students at TAFE Queensland will also provide extra services to patients and families accessing Wishlist Centre. TAFE Queensland faculty director for Community Services, Health and Sport (East Coast) Robyn Littlejohn says the unique partnership will open the door for students to put the skills they are learning into “real world” practice. “TAFE Queensland is looking forward to working with Wishlist and providing our beauty, hairdressing, massage, horticulture, hospitality, events and barista students with more opportunities to gain hands-on experience with such a respected charity organisation, while making a valuable contribution to our community,” Ms Littlejohn says. The four-level $14-million Wishlist Centre project was launched in late July and is expected to open in mid-2022. Wishlist is currently fundraising for an additional $2 million through their ‘Let’s Get 2 It’ appeal to ensure the facility is all it must be for patients and families.

hrowing your stress away will have a new meaning with the latest attraction smashing its way onto the Sunshine Coast. Mad Axe is the new business venture of Caloundra’s Danny Constable, where people come and try their luck at axe throwing in a controlled environment.
“I was introduced to axe throwing around a year ago and became very excited about the prospect of bringing a venue to the Sunshine Coast,” Mr Constable says. “I noticed how it brought people together and every person that took part left the place smiling and laughing after having the best time.”

He says axe throwing is suitable for men and women, and those people with disabilities, and is a great way to relieve stress. “It is a great release for those during these stressful modern, pandemic times and also a great remedy for anxiety and depression, of which I have suffered for a very long time.” The indoor facility at Baringa includes 10 targeted lanes offering 90-minute sessions facilitated by qualified axe-throwing coaches. “Mad Axe is about having fun, being completely inclusive, and good light-hearted competition,” Mr Constable says. “People can expect a safe, modern environment, exceptional customer service, and they can expect to want to repeat the experience with friends and family. “I will be creating a league night and events such as ladies night and fancy dress-theme sessions.” Prior to launching Mad Axe, Mr Constable had spent seven years as a professional musician and guitar teacher. When the pandemic hit in 2020, he decided to follow this new career path and hopes it will bring something new to the local business sector. “I have always supported new small business in the area as much as possible. “I am hoping to add to the tourism industry and bring some modern flavour to the region. “Mad Axe is the first business of its kind on the Sunshine Coast. The Aura area is growing very quickly, and I hope to be one of a number of new thriving, exciting ventures to be in the area for a long time to come.” Visit madaxe.com.au

CONSTRUCTION SET TO START ON SAFE HOUSE A new safe house for young women and children escaping domestic violence and facing homelessness will be built on the Sunshine Coast. An initiative of the Property Industry Foundation and The Salvation Army, $60,000 has been raised for the house with support of the Gentlemen’s Ball committee and the property and construction community. The Salvation Army’s family violence state manager Dianne Gipey says the three-bedroom, two-bathroom safe house will be able to house three young females, or a woman and her child, from the Sunshine Coast at any one time.
“The property will directly help women, in their youth or with families, who have ended up homeless as a result of family and domestic violence and in turn will reduce the flow-on impact to youth homelessness,” she says. “This house represents hope and provides just that to the women and youth of Queensland without a safe place to sleep.” Approximately 37 per cent of young people aged 15 to 24 who seek help from homelessness services have experienced domestic and family violence. Construction of the house is due to begin in September, ready for residents by April 2022.

Volunteer Neil Behm celebrates three decades of helping stop crime in Queensland
THANKS FOR 30 YEARS
C
rime Stoppers’ longest-serving volunteer on the Sunshine Coast has been recognised for his 30 years of service. A former Queensland police officer, Neil Behm joined Crime Stoppers Redcliffe in 1989 before moving to the Coast in 1993, where he continued volunteering for the

program. Over the past three decades, the 77-year-old Currimundi resident has spent many hours working with Crime Stoppers to help police reduce and prevent crime. Mr Behm was recently recognised for his service at a special Crime Stoppers Queensland awards event in Brisbane. “I am proud to have been part of Crime
Stoppers Queensland for the past 30 years and will continue to provide my service to the community,” he says. “I am very honoured to be recognised for my service to the organisation but it’s the tireless efforts of all our volunteers that make our work so successful across the Coast. Crime Stoppers has had a big impact on the Sunshine Coast in helping to solve and prevent crimes from occurring. “My wife Denise Behm joined Crime Stoppers 20 years ago, when I retired from the police force, and together we’ve been helping to reduce crime across the region. “It is such an important service, giving people the confidence that they can confidentially report crime or suspicious activity. We always welcome new volunteers to our branch.” Mr Behm and Crime Stoppers Sunshine Coast were part of a team that assisted in Queensland’s biggest ever missing person’s investigation for teenager Daniel Morcombe. Crime Stoppers has been part of the Sunshine Coast community since 1990 and is the most trusted information-receiving service for people wanting to report unsolved crime and suspicious activity. There are 22 dedicated volunteers who are a vital link between the local community and the Crime Stoppers program. Crime Stoppers Queensland CEO
Carmen Jenkinson says volunteers like Mr Behm play an active role in the ongoing success of the program in keeping the community safe. “Neil has made an enormous contribution over the past 30 years and is a vital part of the social fabric of our organisation, dedicating three decades to building a safer community,” she says. “As a worthy role model, Neil has dedicated his time and expertise to Crime Stoppers, to assist police in solving and preventing crime. Each year, Sunshine Coast Crime Stoppers volunteers help to build stronger and safer communities now and into the future.” As a registered charity, Crime Stoppers Queensland relies on corporate partnerships, government funding, local fundraising activities and personal donations. The organisation has recently partnered with the Australian government to promote a permanent national firearms amnesty, encouraging Queensland residents to play their part in preventing firearms falling into the wrong hands. In an emergency, call 000. If you are reporting a crime committed against you, call 131 444. For all other reports of crime and suspicious activity, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersqld.com.au/make-a-report.

Sunshine Coast councillor Christian Dickson, Andrew Wallace and Brent Mickelberg have been fighting for a new link drive at Chancellor State School
FRUSTRATED PARENTS TO GET THEIR LINK ROAD
BAR • RESTAURANT
A new access road between Scholars Drive and Columbia Street will reduce the daily gridlock for parents at Chancellor State College. The Scholars Drive Link Project, funded with a $500,000 grant from the federal government, will provide a one-way outlet for Scholars Drive, previously a cul-de-sac, allowing parents dropping off or picking up their children to continue onto Columbia Street. Initially designed in 2007, the Scholars Drive Link Project passes through state government-owned land provided by the University of the Sunshine Coast, who has given its in-principle support. The process has not been all easy
streets, with Member for Buderim Brent Mickelberg calling on the state government to work with Sunshine Coast Council in addressing this critical issue since 2017. “I know how the congestion around Chancellor State College has impacted local families, which is why fixing the Scholars Drive mess is something that I’ve been working on since before I was elected,” Mr Mickelberg says. Unable to secure state support, federal MP Andrew Wallace has been able to help deliver the needed works. Construction on the project will begin in the coming months and is expected to be complete by December 2021.

MAJESTIC CINEMAS THROWN A FUNDING LIFELINE Nambour’s independent cinema, the Majestic, has received $35,000 to help keep the projectors running. Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien has announced the federal funding from the SCREEN (Supporting Cinemas’ Retention Endurance and Enhancement of Neighbourhoods) Fund, administered by Screen Australia. “Majestic Cinemas is extremely appreciative of the support provided by the federal government via the SCREEN Fund and the assistance of many of our local MPs in supporting this initiative,” Majestic Cinemas CEO Kieren Dell says. “It is wonderful to see the government and Screen Australia recognising the important role that independent
cinemas play in local communities, especially in regional areas.” Mr O’Brien has also secured $15,000 for Suncoast Christian Care to purchase a new forklift thanks to the Stronger Communities fund. Suncoast Christian Care runs a low-cost grocery store in Howard Street, Nambour giving those on lower incomes access to affordable groceries as well as providing food security to people in the community. “The addition of the forklift has significantly reduced the amount of time that it takes to receive deliveries and organise our stockroom,” the group’s Karen Gullo says. “It has also provided a safer working environment for our staff and volunteers.”
LOCAL MUM NAMED IN AUSMUMPRENEUR AWARDS with patching, so the business started when one large carton of brightly coloured eye patches arrived on my doorstep. “That carton lasted three weeks, so I knew what I had created was urgently needed in this country – and so Kids Eye Gear was born.” Ms Rivett recently reached the milestone of helping 10,000 Australian families with their child’s vision issues and is a finalist in the regional business category. Award winners will be announced at an online event in September.
A Sunshine Coast mother making a difference in the lives of parents of children with eye conditions is a finalist for the 2021 AusMumpreneur Awards. Nicola Rivett founded Kids Eye Gear after her then-six-month-old son was diagnosed with a rare eye condition in 2011, requiring constant eye patching. “The frustrations of patching a baby, and then toddler, were immense,” Ms Rivett says. “Accessibility to this vital, but simple, medical device was limited in Australia. “I wanted to help out the few other families I knew that were also struggling
TAKE CARE: MAGPIE BREEDING SEASON HAS BEGUN Sunshine Coast residents are being reminded to keep their eyes to the sky as magpie breeding season has begun. Residents are asked to remain tolerant when walking or riding near nests. Sunshine Coast Council natural areas conservation Officer Tyron de Kauwe says magpies are clever, remembering faces in their neighbourhood. “Magpies are pretty amazing birds
and in fact only 10 per cent of breeding males will actually swoop. When you see male magpies defending their territory, understand they are merely defending their young. Move quickly through the area but do not run. Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses or use an umbrella. Dismount and walk your bike and, where possible, walk in groups – or avoid the area altogether.”

FINAL GIFT LEAVES LASTING LEGACY How do you thank someone you will never meet? Someone who has gone from the world in a blaze of generosity and in doing so, left an indelible mark on the community that you love? A man who regrettably we never had the chance to know chose to leave a gift in his will to Wishlist, for the benefit of the work of our local hospital foundation. The donation was received when we needed it most and we all felt so incredibly humbled by the gesture and the trust that initiated it. This gift reached us as we embarked on our greatest project yet – Wishlist Centre – one that will impact the Sunshine Coast community and beyond for decades to come. Gifts in wills have changed our world. Current stats reveal that only 7.4 per cent
myweeklypreview.com.au

of Australians leave a gift in their will to charity, but according to a Fundraising Institute of Australia report, 25 per cent of Aussies would like to and 42 per cent are undecided. It makes me wonder why more people don’t take the opportunity to leave a legacy gift. I wonder if our friend had any idea his gift would prove to be so beneficial to our charity, taking us closer to the $2 million needed to make Wishlist Centre all it can be for families. I like to think that if he knew he had a hand in providing affordable accommodation directly opposite the hospital to families who might otherwise be sleeping in cars he’d feel quite chuffed. If he knew he’d helped facilitate the coming together of like-minded charities and community groups to offer support to patients and families and staff of our hospitals, he’d feel quite clever. If he knew that, through it all, his gift helped to make the local hospital foundation he’d chosen as beneficiary of his estate a little less reliant on community support, and more capable of ramping up its annual commitment to patients of our local hospitals, he would feel incredibly proud. To our friend – we salute you.

MY OPINION
Jane Stephens is a USC journalism lecturer, media commentator and writer.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED It is an event that comes twice in a decade, but the buzz doesn’t get old for me: I love census night. And on Tuesday we got to do it again – add our story to the national picture. I love the act of sitting down, filling in the form and providing the Australian Bureau of Statistics with a snapshot of my family’s life, of adding our square to the patchwork quilt of our society. The census is an official instrument. It records our nation’s development and comprises the facts that will provide evidence to bolster policies and plans made by all levels of government. It will indicate where the babies have been born and therefore what areas are going to need, say, extra schools and playgrounds. It will show areas where more aged care support services are needed, and indicate the size of our families, houses and incomes. It also asks questions about the cultural, religious and financial circumstances of everyone inside the four walls of a home. The information is used to shape the country’s health, education, transport and infrastructure needs and I feel privileged to live in a nation that counts everyone in.
For the paranoid and sceptical, the privacy and integrity of the answers is ironclad, because protection of all data is critical to the success of the census. Under the Census and Statistics Act 1905, no identifiable information can be released and personal information is not shared with other government departments or agencies such as the police, Australian Taxation Office or Centrelink. It is also compulsory. You can be fined if you don’t participate or if you submit an incomplete form. That is how important this survey is. In my younger years, a census person came knocking on the door to deliver the paperwork and came back after it was completed. The sense of the importance and officialdom are adhered to my memories of it. Now, most of us are completing it online, with only people in remote areas being visited in person. In 2016, when online submissions were first introduced, the website crashed and only two million Australians had completed their forms on the night. But officials have had five years to get their act together and are confident this one will go smoothly. We become part of the history of building an accurate picture of our nation. The first national census was held in 1911, but Australia’s first census was held in 1828 in New South Wales, which was a British colony then. The process is as old as time – ancient Greeks and Romans counted their people to work out how best to meet their infrastructure and social needs. For me, the excitement of filling in the census is followed by the agonisingly long wait for the results. They never fail to be surprising, revelatory and interesting. Roll on June next year.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO Candice Holznagel’s recent hospital visit has given her a renewed appreciation of the work our tireless medical staff do for our community.
L
ast week my baby had a COVID test, the first of what I’m sure will be many. I had to take him to the emergency department, a place I had not visited since the pandemic began. With growing concern about the latest southeast Queensland outbreak, you could feel the weight of anxiety. The heavy presence of PPE and talk of isolated patients did little to abate concerns. I was told, given the latest advice, that contracting COVID was a very real and significant risk for our children. Sensing my worry, the paediatrician stopped, looked into my eyes and said five words. They were simple but had impact: “I understand. I’m a mum too.” She could have continued working, but she chose to offer comfort. Empathy and understanding can go a long way, and despite their heavy workload, every person that day in the Sunshine Coast University Hospital paediatric ED took the time to listen and reassure. Our hospital workers may be hidden behind surgical masks and plastic face shields, but they are here for us – caring and giving it their all. They are on the frontline fighting this pandemic. As one ED doctor’s wife explains, each time her
husband leaves the home it feels like he is headed off to war. Our health workers are real people, fighting a real battle day in and day out. They are the mums and dads who spend their Saturdays cheering their kids on from the soccer field sidelines, before working a full shift. They are the doctors who save lives before peeling off their scrubs to do the school run. Then there is the paediatric team, who on that day, worked as one to resuscitate a little girl. I heard their voices coming from the hallway outside my son’s room – calm and reassuring above the shrill of the emergency alarm. Later, I asked the doctor how she does it. How does she stay calm and collected during these times? “This is what we do.” Her message was clear: the hospital is a safe space with stringent COVID procedures in place. If your child is sick, seek help. “Come back. Two, three times. We want to see your child. We don’t want parents to wait,’’ she says. Upon receiving my son’s negative COVID result I was able to leave, but the kindness we received has stuck by me all week. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you do for our community.

MY OPINION
IF MEMORY SERVES…
THE PRIDE OF A NATION
Thanks to some unsettling childhood dining experiences, there are some foods Ashley Robinson just can’t stomach, and tapioca is one of them.
The Tokyo Games could not have come at a better time for Sami Muirhead, whose family has some new heroes in the Australian Olympians.
F
ood for thought (or more to the point, food I wish I could forget or never will). I previously wrote about chokos disguised as pears and had a reader drop in some for me, which I quickly gave away before I was mentally scarred once again. As a kid orange fish with creamy onion sauce was gagging material, which I have possibly mentioned before but I just can’t erase it from my brain. Creamy rice dessert, or was it tapioca pudding – whatever it was I used to think of every excuse under the sun not to eat it, but alas I had to sit there and digest it before I could go and watch The Flintstones on prime-time TV. Only today do I realise my mum had good intentions feeding me disgusting tapioca. It is allergy free, so all the cool kids will be eating it these days according to Google. It’s easy to digest, and helps with bowel issues, which makes me wonder did I eat enough? It’s a source of calcium, so no chalky bones (apart from my nose, that is). It’s also low sodium, which will lower blood pressure. I should have eaten it
three times a day. It is high in iron and vitamin C, which is handy through COVID. As I read down Doctor Google I did find one alarming quality that now makes a whole lot of sense. It supports weight gain! It said eating a couple of bowls of this stuff improves a person’s likelihood of gaining weight. Edna what were you
“Only today do I realise my mum had good intentions feeding me tapioca” thinking? I already looked like Eddie Munster when I was a kid, so just to finish me off in the looks department, let’s load me up on tapioca pudding to give me zero chance of not wearing my dad’s hat and shorts at age 10. I had no chance. So now I know why my two favourite shows were The Munsters and The Flintstones because as a kid I looked like Eddie and I grew up to look like Fred.
Ashley Robinson is the manager of Alex Surf Club and the chairman of the Sunshine Coast Falcons.
H
ow great were the Games in Tokyo? They came at such a perfect time with lockdown. They delivered more than just sporting awe and glory as they served up happiness and hope in a time we all need a reminder how great the human body and spirit can be when pushed to the limits. We have new household names in our home. Our Aussie swimmers are now spoken about as revered superheroes as we eat our mashed potato at the dinner table. I could not be happier with this as these young Aussies have shown what hard work and resilience can create, as opposed to the dimwits who are famous on YouTube for doing nothing other than forgetting to wear pants. Our female swimmers are just stellar. What amazing role models including Ariarne Titmus, Emma McKeon, Cate Campbell, and Kaylee McKeown, who won us over with her ‘F bomb’ poolside that was quickly replaced with the ‘SH bomb’. My kids thought this was hilarious. I must admit it was a special moment that made me instantly think this young lady was just being herself in such a
euphoric time. Her swag of gold medals at the end of the games seemed even more special. Then we heard of her terrible sadness in the past year after her dad died from brain cancer. That was not even one year ago. This 20-year-old deserves every gold medal and every scrap of happiness that comes her way. Her mum, Sharon, is so easygoing and has a warm personality that exudes happiness. Apple. Tree. Not far. Sharon said to me, “Kaylee is so adored by so many, which is amazing and so overwhelming. I think the accidental blooper on TV saw the raw side of Kaylee and showed she is just a normal kid and a typical Aussie. “To ask Emily Seebohm to present her with her gold medal and to also ask her up on to the dais so the two of them could sing the national anthem together just goes to show she is a very humble and genuine young lady. Who wouldn’t want to aspire to be like Kaylee? My husband and I (bless his soul) have raised two wonderful daughters and I am extremely proud of both of them.” So you should be.

This delicious cake conjures up thoughts of sweet citrus and tummy-warming goodness. Citrus fruits are at their best during the cooler months, and mandarins are mostly grown in Queensland, which means you are supporting local farmers.
MANDARIN & ALMOND CAKE Serves 12
Did you know?
INGREDIENTS • 3 mandarins • 6 eggs • 1 cup caster sugar • 2 cups almond meal
Mandarins are a good source of dietary fibre and vitamin A, and are an excellent source of vitamin C.
METHOD Place the whole mandarins into a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, careful not to let the water evaporate. Cool the mandarins completely before splitting open to remove the seeds. Using a hand-held blender, purée. Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a 22cm cake tin with baking paper. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on a medium high speed for 8 to 10 minutes or until the mixture is thick, pale and tripled in volume. Add the purée and almond meal and fold gently with a large metal spoon until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool. NOTE: This cake will fall as there is no flour to hold its rise.

BLINK LIVING, DIRECTOR
HOME ARCHITECTURAL STYLE Our home is set in the bush, surrounded by wallum, scribbly gums, banksia and grasses. It’s a simple skillion roof with double-height windows facing north, and a vertical hardboard and fibro exterior, plus timber floors. We have included a feature wall of shelving with a concrete plinth with fireplace in the living room. The kitchen is black joinery with dark paintwork, moody colours. Sliding barn doors in recycled timber throughout the house give an earthy feel.
DREAM PROJECT
STYLING SECRET
This would be a holiday home overlooking the beach. It would be all rough timbers, soft carpets, luxury soft furnishings, huge deep sofas, fabulous art and books everywhere. Decks with daybeds and long tables for slow lunches.
My styling secret is sticking to the adage of only have in your home things you love. It’s worth every penny to have around you pieces that bring you joy every single day.
FAVOURITE SPACE The lounge is where I settle to relax and I love to look out into the trees and enjoy the dappled sun coming through the windows.
INTERIORS WHAT IS YOUR STYLE? As a designer I love lots of differing styles but my favourite is modern/classic – timeless pieces that are beautiful, simple and great quality and will last the test of time.
LIFESTYLE PERFECT COAST DAY My perfect day starts with a cup of tea in bed looking out over my garden. A walk with pooch to the lake or the beach. Coffee at my fave cafe followed by a couple of hours in the garden and then an hour with feet up reading my latest book.
WHEN I’M NOT WORKING... I’m either in my garden or hanging out with my family just kicking a ball in the street.

SIMPLE STATEMENT Greenery always looks beautiful in the bathroom. However, for something different consider dried floral arrangements or neutral bouquets as an alternative. The Carter white potted stems from Adairs add a minimal touch of colour and yet will create a beautiful statement piece for the bathroom.
The Salt & Pepper Cult black bathroom accessories flaunt a clean, minimalist style and ribbed design for a contemporary touch to any bathroom. Crafted from m poly resin in a sleek matte black colour scheme, the accessories are both stylish and functional. The set is available from Domayne.
TILES Ideally, your choice for the floor and splashback areas should work together to create a cohesive look. Keep in mind that tiles don’t have to feature patterns to bring interest to your space. Choose from textured styles and tiles of different sizes and shapes to create a sophisticated and timeless look. Our favourite? Marble-look hexagon tiles.
we love! The Home Republic Archie white marle towel range from Adairs.
Product alert We are obsessed with the Mesh tapware series from Highgrove Bathrooms. The stunning collection features classic, simple lines and angles that bring a sense of modern classicism to any bathroom. Designed in Australia, the range features an interesting mesh pattern around the handle for an easy grip. Highgrove says that Mesh represents an evolution in tapware design with a flush-mount easy-fit body which provides endless placement options, side by side, in-wall or vertically stacked – the choice is entirely yours. Made from solid brass construction, the entire tapware range features water saving technology (with a WELS 5-star rating). It is available in four stunning finishes. Visit highgrovebathrooms.com.au

A Feast of Fabulous Interior design strategies that always work!
O Create the look you’re dreaming of with our expert interior stylist Maureen Walters Everyone wants to come home to a house they love living in. Maroochydore Homemaker Centre resident interior stylist Maureen Walters helps you create a space that brings you joy every day. Whether you’d like a new look for one room or your entire home, want to furnish a new home, define your style or get advice on a tricky spot in your home, a Style Session with Maureen will get you well on your way. For more information visit maroochydorehomemaker centre.com.au.
ne of the trickiest things about home decor is the pressure we sometimes feel about sticking to a theme. While thematic interior design is attractive, it is not always practical or feasible. Some people also find the idea of themes too limiting for their expression. What you need are some interior design strategies that take the focus away from the technique and bring it back to the goal. The goal is to make your home look exciting, inviting, comforting and expressive. So, here’s a thought: why decorate with a single theme when you can have the best of both worlds? Interior design trends in Australia make it difficult to choose one because each theme has gorgeous decor. Therefore, instead of opting for one, mix and match items from themes that complement each other. The modern and minimal theme can go well together, especially because many modern furniture designs have sleek edges and have the crisp appeal of minimal decorations. Our favourite pairing is the combination of
Accent mirrors
modern, rustic and ethnic. Rustic furniture is charming and adding it to modern design gives an ideal mix of warm aesthetics and contemporary decor. Ethnic decor can include traditional tapestries, baskets and decorative plates. Their unique characteristics and representation will personalise your decor and give you a sense of belonging.
Above products available from La Maison
Accent mirrors are one of the best creations of interior designers everywhere because they grab attention easily. If you are undecided on how to decorate that hallway, start looking at accent wall mirrors perfect for that particular space. Pair the mirror with a simple table placed just under it and you will have a stunning space looking back at you. Featured products available from James Lane

1. WORK SPACE Create a happy work space. If you don’t have a dedicated office, consider unused areas like under the stairs or corners in guest bedrooms, so you still have the dual purpose of the room.

2. DECLUTTER AND ORGANISE Cleaning out pantries, under sinks and laundry rooms, or tidying your bathroom will be a wonderful tool as we are stuck at home.
3. BRING LIFE INTO YOUR HOME Feeling stuck indoors can be frustrating, so try to bring the outside in with real plants, greenery or flowers. Having beautiful floral arrangements or potted plants can be great ways to bring cheer into your home.
More than 16 million Australians spent the weekend under stay-at-home restrictions, and until the nation reaches target vaccination levels, snap lockdowns look set to stay. Leading property stylist from Vault Interiors, Justine Wilson, says a comfortable and well-presented home can have a wonderful effect on productivity and mood. Here are her tips to give your home an overhaul.

SUNSHINE COAST BUSINESS WOMAN OF THE YEAR AWARDS GALA POSTPONED Last week we would have been celebrating the winners and finalists of the 2021 Sunshine Coast Business Woman of the Year Awards. But due to the unfolding COVID-19 situation and lockdown restrictions, the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network executive committee made the difficult decision to postpone the gala that was supposed to go ahead last Saturday night. As much as we do live in a digital world, it is our intention to keep this as an in-person celebration to give the finalists the recognition they deserve and the incredible experience of being part of a live event for the winners’ announcements.
Feedback made it very clear to us that connecting in person and being among fellow finalists and the business community was important to the finalists and made the whole awards process that much more valuable and rewarding. As such, we are working with the event team and stakeholders to set a new date as soon as possible. While this is, of course, disappointing, there’s nothing more important right now than following the directives of Queensland Health and keeping all our award finalists, members, sponsors and guests safe. The Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network executive committee would like to remind everyone we are here if you need support. We understand the ever-changing nature of COVID-19 can be both frustrating and exhausting, but we know the Sunshine Coast business community is nothing if not resilient. As we always do, we will tackle this challenge head on and get through it as best we can. Once things settle down we look forward to announcing a new date for the highly anticipated awards gala and sharing in the celebration with you all, especially the winners and finalists. In the meantime know our inbox is always open.

NEW FINANCIAL YEAR – 5 REASONS WHY IT’S TIME FOR A NEW HOME LOAN As a homeowner, you’ve worked hard to get your home and you make sure you look after it. Sometimes it’s easy to sit back and not care about your home loan in the same way we look after our actual home. Don’t forget about your home loan’s health. It deserves to be taken care of too. In the constantly changing and competitive home loan market, there is always a better deal waiting for you. Uniq finance consultant Matt Simpson shares the following tips: 1. Most people don’t know their own home loan – This is your largest and most important investment so you need a home loan that suits you. • Do you know the interest rate on your home loan? • Do you know the features of your loan? • Can you make extra repayments? • Can you draw on those extra repayments at any time? • What fees are you paying on your home loan? Most people don’t know the answers to these questions. Generally, you can get a much better rate than what currently you have by refinancing and right now,
several lenders are offering cash back bonuses of up to $3000 as well. 2. Save money and increase cashflow – This is what we all want right? Apart from just getting a lower interest rate on your home loan, there are other ways to save yourself some cash and increase cash flow. You work hard and have been paying your home off, but other debts have accumulated. Rather than pay huge interest on credit cards, car and other loans, use the equity you have created in your home and refinance these debts into one loan, with one repayment. Most homeowners who take this option save many thousands of dollars per year. 3. Your equity could significantly increase your wealth and improve your lifestyle – If you have some unused equity due to the increased value of your home, did you know it could be used to purchase an investment property, invest in shares or consolidate debt to lower your overall repayments? 4. The banks won’t do it for you – Does your bank offer health checks on your loan? Too often I see people ‘set and forget’ their home loans with their old, trusted bank and end up paying up to double the interest rate they should be paying. As your mortgage broker, we have
“You can get a much better rate than what you currently have by refinancing” Matt Simpson, Uniq
access to the ever-expanding home loan market and can find the best home loan to suit your individual needs. Our commitment to our clients is that you will feel more informed and have a better understanding of your current financial position after working with us on your obligation-free, home loan health check. The fact that you have banked with your home loan lender since you were a
kid unfortunately means nothing these days. It’s up to you to get the best home loan for you. 5. You deserve a better home loan – Do you deserve a better home loan? Of course you do, so take advantage of the options available to you and start saving cash right now. After 27 years of working in the police force I understand the constraints of managing family, career and finances. Over the past four years while transitioning from the police force into a second career as a mortgage broker, I have witnessed the amazing surge in property prices Australia wide. Since July last year the average Australian house price has increased 13.5 per cent, while Sunshine Coast house prices have risen by 23.1 per cent according to the latest Domain House Price Report. While it’s nice just to know the value you may be sitting on, you could really be taking advantage of these higher values to improve your personal financial position. We can do a simple home loan health check for you and work out if you can get some of that ‘lazy’ equity working for you. The possibilities and opportunities will surprise you.

HELP IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE FOR SMALL BUSINESS
What you should do when separating
Time for cashflow crisis management
Traps to avoid when making a Will
When you separate from a long-term partner, it can be difficult to know what to do and where to start. Aside from getting legal advice as soon as possible, below are what I consider the top three things to do, whether or not you engage a lawyer:
As a business owner, there are some key things you need to focus on right now – cashflow crisis management and financial management. Follow our nine-step process to ensure your business is best placed for success.
1. Safety – first and foremost, ensure you have thought about the safety of yourself and your children. If there are any safety issues, consider what plan you need for your day of departure, as well as thereafter.
1. Prepare a monthly cashflow forecast for the next 12 months. Monitor it regularly.
2. Residence – if it is safe to do so, you may choose to continue to live separately in the same place of residence as your ex-partner, though experience tells us this is usually only a short-term arrangement that can work when you are simply waiting for the house to sell. If this is not possible, consider which of you could most easily find an alternative place of residence.
3. Review ATO tax relief options that may be available to you.
For a Will to be valid, it must meet certain formal requirements. In broad terms, the Will needs to be in writing, signed by the person making it before two witnesses. So, what happens when a beneficiary witnesses a Will? To safeguard against risks of influence, a gift made to a witness is void. A beneficiary does not have to be named personally in the Will for a gift to them to be void. It is enough if there is a general reference, such as ‘my children’. There are, however, some limited exceptions which apply that may ‘preserve’ the gift.
3. Secure documents and irreplaceable possessions – any personal documents, such as birth certificates and passports, records that prove your contributions during your relationship, or possessions that have significant personal value should either come with you or be secured. Catton & Tondelstrand Lawyers offers free initial consultations where we can personalise the advice about what you should do in the event of separation.

2. Maximise cashflow by accessing all eligible federal, state and local government support.
4. Review existing finance arrangements to see if any deferrals can be made if necessary. Have discussions early so you can plan. 5. Review your trade terms to bring forward cash receipts and defer cash payments. 6. Conduct a waste audit on your business to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. 7. Review your business interruption insurance to determine if you are eligible to make a potential claim. 8. Consider alternative revenue streams or markets that may be available to you. 9.

They are: 1. At least two other people have witnessed the execution of the Will who are not beneficiaries; 2. All beneficiaries consent to the ‘interested’ witness receiving the gift; or 3. The Court is satisfied the Willmaker knew and approved the gift, and it was made freely and voluntarily. Having your Wills prepared by experienced lawyers will eliminate these and other traps people commonly fall into with their estate planning.

The Caloundra Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the Queensland government’s announcement of a $5000 business support package, but fears it will not be enough. This announcement comes after months of campaigning from business peak body groups for support for those affected by lockdowns and restrictions. Caloundra Chamber of Commerce acting CEO Brady Sullivan says while this is a step in the right direction, it will not be enough to recoup significant business losses. “Small business owners continue to bear the brunt of this pandemic,” he says. “We have been calling for a wellplanned and proportionate response to snap lockdowns and restrictions so that business owners can prepare for these circumstances, but unfortunately many small businesses are telling us this package is too little, too late.” The Caloundra Chamber has backed Queensland Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (CCIQ) COVID-19 Hotspot Recovery Package proposal since it was first called for in March this year. This package would enable direct financial assistance of up to $25,000 to impacted businesses to ensure their survival. A recent survey of CCIQ members suggested three-day lockdowns cost small business between $12,000 and $58,000. Mr Sullivan says while the conversation is centred around financial impacts, he also has considerable concerns for the longterm health effects on business owners. “We recently undertook significant research into the financial and mental health impacts of COVID-19 on business owners and the data is clear – the lack of confidence and financial stability is overwhelmingly causing business owners to feel increasingly vulnerable and is directly impacting the mental wellbeing of business owners. “Businesses need a clearly outlined strategy in place to ensure they have the confidence to keep trading and they need this certainty before lockdowns occur, not in response.” The results of the Business Health Check Survey conducted in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast will be available in the coming weeks. myweeklypreview.com.au

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)
VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)
LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)
SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)
With the fiery sun still charging through your sign, it’s time for larger-than-life Leos to let their hair down, express themselves and indulge their senses. Avoid the temptation to exaggerate, over-promise and under-deliver.
Many Virgos will be full of vim and vigour this week as you analyse, strategise and mobilise! With proactive Mars and clever Mercury linking up in your sign, it’s also a good time to redefine the persona you are presenting to the world.
Venus vamps into your sign on Monday, which boosts your natural Libran charisma. But it also amps up your preoccupation with perfection. Try to focus on the evolving journey, rather than the final destination.
This week, there may be some conflict between domestic responsibilities and professional expectations. You’re keen to plunge into a personal project, but make sure you do your homework first and don’t promise more than you can deliver.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)
CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)
AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)
PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)
Sagittarians are free spirits, and you could still feel frustrated by ongoing social distancing rules and/or travel restrictions. Don’t let it stop you from being adventurous and taking on challenges in creative and COVID-appropriate ways.
Slow down, cool down and calm down! Don’t make mountains out of molehills, or waste precious time worrying about inconsequential problems. If there are complications, then clever communication will help you sail through any turbulence.
Prepare for a blue moon, the second full moon in Aquarius in a month! This will amp up your need for freedom, independence and avant-garde adventures. But don’t feel you have to tackle a current project or problem on your own.
It’s time to retreat, review and restore as the full blue moon activates your contemplation zone. Enjoy solo activities like meditation, yoga and long walks in nature. The weekend is wonderful for a relationship refresh or a social media surprise.

SCARCITY DRIVES DEMAND FOR WATERFRONT LAND AT BEACHSIDE ESTATE
P
elican Waters has initiated an exclusive waterfront land release as demand for Sunshine Coast land soars to new heights. Furthermore, it is fast-tracking a second waterfront release for September. The award-winning developer is bringing nearly 90 new homesites to market as growing local demand and steady interstate migration fuels unprecedented interest in southern Sunshine Coast property. Pelican Waters land specialist Morgan Bonanno says she is already being inundated with enquiries for the new release known as The Entrance, nestled between Central Park and the water on the estate’s new island precinct. “This is one of Pelican Waters’ most exciting land releases yet, offering a selection of never-before-released product comprising 40 waterfront and dry lots, walkable foreshore private access, connecting pathways to the marina and coastal walkway and private pontoons.” Interest is equally high for the second release, Navigators Stage 2, also under
construction and set for an official launch in late September. “This stage will offer 49 lots, approximately half of which will be exclusive, large north-facing waterfront lots. Unique to this stage will be the new pedestrian bridge linking the residential precinct along Warrego Drive with the island,’’ Ms Bonanno says. It follows the record-breaking sell-out of Navigators prior to Easter, where the first waterfront homes are now under construction. Comprising 17 waterfront lots and 19 ‘dry’ homesites, Navigators became Pelican Waters first collection of land to sell out on the day of release.

SURF REPORT
with MWP’s man in the water
Well, how amazing was last weekend? A friend surfing a point break tells me of a session he had where everyone in the water was taking turns. I said, ‘you must be dreaming, no one does that anymore – or do they?’ Maybe give it a go and you might enjoy yourself. Small waves around this weekend but ideal conditions, so head north and find a nice beach break.
