From the editor I have a confession to make. I can’t dance. I’m not talking about mastering ballet or contemporary dance. Oh no. I refer to the most basic of toe-tapping, sway to the rhythm type movement. I took dance classes as a teenager. I even performed on stage in front of a crowd of 300-odd people. Thankfully, the hot-pink sequin-laden ensemble pulled attention from some of my poorer dance moves. Yes, I may not have the coordination needed to dance for the Australian Ballet – or the local junior Eisteddfod for that matter – but I’ve always loved music, and the fun, laughter and freedom that dancing with friends can bring. Needless to say, I was impressed to discover the Common People Dance Project – a group of sassy fun-loving women who come from all walks of life. They are

mothers, they are business people, and they rock spandex, glitter and loud colours like no one else. This week we celebrate the Sunshine Coast women who are putting aside their reservations, and celebrating their confidence and authenticity. And, don’t they look great on the cover! You can read more about the dance troupe on page 36. And, from sequins to science, in our feature story this edition, we unveil some of Queensland’s most fascinating bionics research projects. This interesting read will open your eyes to some of Australia’s top minds. The story is on page 12. Meanwhile, in our agenda section, we look to the future – 2041 to be exact – and towards the Sunshine Coast that will be. Until next week, take care.

AGENDA

MENTAL HEALTH CHECK With a focus on mental health for youth in the region as the COVID pandemic continues, local parents and carers are being encouraged to complete a Mental Health First Aider (MHFA) accreditation. Community Bank Caloundra branch manager Pip Fawcett recently completed hers through Dicky Beach Surf Life Saving Club. “I am involved with our local youth, have been for years, and I see the problem is only getting worse,” she says. “COVID has accelerated, and perhaps highlighted even more, how disconnected our kids are feeling. Lockdowns where kids can’t go to school or enjoy their sport only makes the situation worse.” MHFA accreditation is valid for three years and courses are designed to develop the skills to assist adolescents who are developing a mental health problem or are in a mental health crisis. “I would encourage anyone who has the time and opportunity to learn a new skill to seriously consider doing the course,” Ms Fawcett says. “We are all either a parent, grandparent, carer or friend of a child or teenager who just might need someone to listen to them, to be there when it counts.” Visit mhfa.com.au

Vulnerable kids are hurting More and more children, particularly vulnerable children, are presenting at hospitals with mental health concerns, but the system is ill-equipped to cope with the increased need. WORDS: Emily Woods, AAP.

ulnerable children from disadvantaged backgrounds are increasingly arriving at hospital for mental health issues including anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm, a researcher says. Community concern over the impact of ongoing COVID lockdowns on child mental health has increased in recent weeks, as some kids struggle with the constant changes. Recent data reveals a surge in calls to Kids Helpline and there has been a rise in children being hospitalised due to mental illness. Unsurprisingly, paediatrician Harriet Hiscock from The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne has noticed an increase. Melbourne has spent 228 days in lockdown since March 31, 2020. “What I have seen in my clinical practice, and along with my colleagues, is an increase in loneliness, a general ‘nothing left in the tank’ type of thing,” she says. A leading researcher at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Prof Hiscock recently completed a study into children presenting with mental health problems at Victorian hospital emergency departments. “We’ve shown that mental health presentations to the

emergency departments were already increasing for some conditions prior to COVID,” she says. “But then with COVID, if we look at the data from last year, some things leapt up more than we expected based on trends – the things that increased were eating disorders, self-harm and anxiety.” Children from low-income or disadvantaged backgrounds were prominent among the increased cases. “For almost all conditions they’re more likely to be from lower-socio-economic areas presenting for mental health reasons,” Prof Hiscock says. “We have a huge lack of support and resources for those kids and those parents.” Nationwide, families from disadvantaged backgrounds often use GPs and community health centres to seek support for their children. However, Prof Hiscock says community health centres “might get more funding for adults with drug and alcohol problems and things like that, but for children it’s grossly underfunded”. The professor points to the health system’s focus on how many patients can be seen in an hour, rather than outcomes for those seeking help. Federal deputy chief medical officer Ruth Vine, who is

overseeing the mental health impacts of the pandemic, recognises the need for change. She says across the country there needs to be more investment in mental health. “I agree that more needs to be done, but you have to develop a workforce for this and the infrastructure and the processes.” Australia has been short of psychiatrists for many years, but increased demand during the pandemic has revealed how dire the workforce shortages are. Dr Hiscock ran a pilot program earlier in 2021 to help GPs, paediatricians and mental health clinicians identify and manage kids’ mental health presentations. “It has worked so well, I think a sort of model to be rolled out across the state would be wonderful, because whilst there will be training and we’ll get more workforce, it’s going to take three to six years,” she says. Dr Vine says she is exploring “what sort of training is ready to go” and is keen encourage the existing workforce to build up their skills.

We may have already had alien contact. In 1977, a volunteer for the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence received a 772-second-long signal from a distant star system, 120 light years from Earth. It was loud and sent from a place that had yet to be visited bby humankind, so the person who received it wrote “Wow!” next to the ooriginal printout. It continues to be known as the Wow! signal. Researchers have suggested the noise was from a passing comet. Halfway up a glacier in the Andes, hiker Ricardo Peña found a wallet. It belonged to a Uruguayan rugby player who had been in a 1972 plane crash in which all but 16 passengers died. As it turned out, the wallet belonged to one of the survivors. Peña tracked him down and returned the wallet, more than three decades after its loss.

FEATURE STORY

Bionic innovators on show The latest bionic limbs, artificial organs and portable devices to treat a range of neurocognitive conditions were just a few innovations competing at the recent Bionics Challenge. WORDS: Gail Forrer.

an you imagine? A bionic voice box for larynx amputees, a machine-intelligent artificial pancreas, bionic heart, nose? What about a high-quality headset that simultaneously measures brain activity in a similar way to MRI (but without electromagnets) and is designed to reduce symptoms for a range of neurocognitive conditions including ADHD, autism and brain injury. When it comes to bad news courtesy of COVID, there has been an overload. But there is good news in the field of bionic inventions, which are dedicated to improving the quality of life for people suffering road accident trauma, disability, disease and chronic conditions. These innovations are progressing in leaps and bounds. And once a year the public gets the chance for a glimpse of these amazing innovations via Queensland’s globally unique competition, Bionics Challenge. The competition asks research and development companies – mainly grassroots start-ups – to compete for a total of $300,000 in prize money, with the aim of fast-tracking new medical bionic devices and treatments, all while offering valuable mentoring opportunities. Bionics Queensland CEO Dr Robyn

Stokes says people often think of the “$6 million man or woman” when they hear the word ‘bionics’, but today bionics are becoming far more accessible and affordable. The 2021 line-up of winners shows us just how this happens as the competition showcases the developers of lifechanging devices and technologies that enhance and fast-track bionic mobility, bionic senses, bionic implants and organs, plus brain-computer-interface devices and treatments. This year, in terms of the winner of the brain-computer-interface devices and treatments category, the Innovation Centre Sunshine Coast played an integral role. This is where neuroscientist Casey Pfluger met technologist Amy-Rose Goodey. Together they co-founded Cortex Brainwave Technologies. Mr Pfluger says former Innovation Centre CEO Mark Paddenburg was “amazing” in bringing people together. He also praised the Sunshine Coast Council for its industry support. Mr Pfluger says he was content as a university neuroscience researcher. However, the birth of his daughter inspired his career transition as founder of Cortex Brainwave Technologies –

Neuroscientist Casey Pfluger with daughter Ingrid developers of a brain-computer-interface (BCI) headset to monitor and reduce neurocognitive condition symptoms. “My daughter Ingrid has ADHD and autism, which has a significant effect on her everyday life. “I see my daughter struggling to function every day in ways I know inside out,” he says.

“You can’t tell from looking at me, but I also have autism and ADHD like my daughter. I will do anything to help my daughter access the treatments she needs even if it means I have to build them myself.” Mr Pfluger says that living with ADHD, autism and brain injury means dealing with brain fog every day in various ways. “There’s difficulty in concentrating and struggling to plan every day with no end in sight,” he explains. Cortex Brainwave Technologies was started in 2017. Now the team, including Suraj Kandel, Aaron Lederhose and Roger Cater, are celebrating the $50,000 win, along with a previous prestigious invitation to pitch at an upcoming International Investor Summit. Mr Pfluger says the initial use case for the Cortex Neuro-Sensor is as a home-based neurofeedback therapy. “There are almost one in five Australians affected by brain disorders such as acquired brain injury, learning disabilities, stroke, ADHD and autism,” he says. “To date, there have been limited therapeutic interventions available and a significant social and economic cost involved for affected individuals and their family members.” myweeklypreview.com.au

And the winners are… The Bionics Challenge 2021 includes several major categories. These are the winners, in addition to Casey Pfluger’s Cortex Neuro-Sensor, which took out the Bionics, the Brain, Neurotech and AI category. For more, visit bionicsqueensland.com.au

BIONIC MOBILITY BION Project leader professor Laurent Frossard and his team are investigating Projec how bionic limbs can pull more than their weight with the development of a medical device called Thomax 2.0, which integrates state-of-the-art wearable loading sensors and personalised computational neuromusculoskeletal models to test a per digital twin of the residual limb during load-bearing exercises. Greater digita safety, mobility and less infection is expected with Thomax 2.0 being safe the first-ever non-invasive and easy-to-use diagnostic device designed to achieve bionic implant integration that enables des pain-free and efficient rehabilitation exercises.

BIONIC IMPLANTS AND ORGANS The Laronix Bionic Voice – the world’s first bionic voice prosthesis for larynx amputees – is being developed by Dr Farzaneh Ahmadi. The development is described as the world’s only natural-sounding artificial voice box with male/female distinction. It is a smart device that uses AI and can be trained to reach ultra-realistic quality of voice that resembles the patient’s own; and it is inherently safe and completely non-invasive, eliminating all of the bio-hazards of conventional voice prostheses.

BIONIC SENSES The Augmented Vibrotexture is a sensory bionics technology for balance restoration in foot nerve damage. Dr Anna Hatton and her team’s insole design will enhance sensory input from the feet and optimise motor actions.

NATIONAL BIONIC INNOVATION This specialist award was presented to project leader Dr Nigel Greenwood and his team for a machine-intelligent artificial pancreas. Novel AI sits at the heart of this innovation delivering a ‘new to the world’ diagnostic and insulin delivery solution for individuals with highly unstable type 1 diabetes. The solution includes a new wearable micro-dosing insulin pump made compatible with an implantable subcutaneous EEG filament sensor to enable highly accurate insulin dosage.

Did you know? After founding the Hear & Say Centre some 30 years ago, o, Dr Dimity Dornan went on to found Bionic Queensland. Describing her inspiration, she he says: “The world changed forr me the day the multichannel bionic ear was first implanted in a child with profound hearing loss.” In many ways it also changed the world of bionics. Bionic ear inventor Professor Graeme Clark says: “The first ever ‘switch-on’ was also the very first time the human brain, human conscious and a replaced human function were linked.” Bionics Queensland was launched in 2019 and aims to fast-track bionic devices, limbs and prosthetics, bionic implants and organs, brainmachine interfaces and neurobionic treatments. Its goal is to showcase ‘what is possible’ to a wider community and draw innovation leaders across borders into a new, exciting dialogue on human bionic innovation. Bionics Queensland is committed to changing the lives of people around the world who live with complex disabilities, chronic disease and previously untreatable health conditions.

Almost one in five Australians are affected by brain disorders, including autism, stroke or injury. The award-winning Cortex Neuro-Sensor (pictured) will be a home-based neurofeedback therapy using a portable brain-computer-interface (BCI) headset to help train the brain. The BCI headset uses the technology with apps and games to help transform unhealthy or undesirable brainwave activity into healthy, organised activity. Currently, neurofeedback for ADHD and autism costs thousands of dollars, involves travel to and from clinics and can take years to see improvement.

AGENDA

2041 – The future looks good New infrastructure and technological advancements will see the Sunshine Coast become a hub for young entrepreneurs. WORDS: Kat Donaghey.

he Sunshine Coast is no longer destined to be a massive retirement village, but will become the most entrepreneurial and liveable region in Australia and a modern ‘city’ in its own right, it has been predicted. The year 2041 is often referred to by governments when extrapolating population growth and they have forecast the Coast will exceed 500,000 people by then — with the bulk of new residents aged over 75. However, market intelligence specialist Mal Cayley says those predictions are out of date. Instead, the Coast should expect a wave of ‘cashed-up and tech-savvy Millennials’ moving in because of the joint attractions of advanced technology and lifestyle. “There is going to be a greater diversification, but also we’re going to see a mass move of younger people, especially Millennials,” Mr Cayley says. His outlook is backed by futurist Mark McCrindle, who says there has been “a massive shift across Australia as to who is making the sea change”, with young people searching for affordable housing and lifestyle. “Urban young people are now the next generation driving the move and looking for suburban life in new and emerging communities,” Mr McCrindle says. “The three main drivers are firstly affordability. Even though there’s been a massive increase in prices, places like the Sunshine Coast are still cheaper than Sydney and Melbourne. “Secondly, liveability. Coastal locations are not just attractive to retirees but couples and families, especially if people can work from anywhere they will want to live in places like the Sunshine Coast.” Thirdly, he says employment diversity on the Sunshine Coast is growing and investments in infrastructure would boost the economy even further, creating more jobs for the future. Mr Cayley, who drills into data and

14 My Weekly Preview | September 16, 2021

14.indd 1

observes trends, says he believes the Sunshine Coast will become the number one regional market in Australia. “So what that means is outside of the capital cities, more people will come here, more money will be spent here than any non-capital city in the country,” he says. “By 2040 we’re a city. Just as the Gold Coast is known as Gold Coast City, we’ll be Sunshine Coast City, or the City of the Sunshine Coast.” However, Mr Cayley says the Sunshine Coast has already learnt from the mistakes of other cities like the Gold Coast and will continue to vigorously protect the beaches and bush and prevent high-rises and towers. “What’s happening here is a better focussed planning scheme,” he adds. Mr Cayley says a major structural shift on the Coast has been the confluence of technology (enabled by the undersea international broadband cable) and lifestyle, and these two factors will alter the region’s future. “Our positioning with the broadband cable and the lifestyle offering — and then

Already the most entrepreneurial region in Australia with more start-up businesses per capita than anywhere else, Mr Cayley says the Coast will seed revolutionary tech ideas that can change the world like Google or Facebook.

amplified by the effects of COVID — is a really important driver to understand.” The Sunshine Coast is the only regional area on the globe with direct connection to a broadband undersea cable and the opportunities this will create were yet to be imagined, he says. “Not only do I believe we will remain the entrepreneurial capital of Australia, I believe the gap between us and any other city will widen,” he says. “For want of a better term we will be the modern Silicon Valley, but an Australia version. There are businesses and industries that don’t exist today that are going to have their seed come out of Maroochydore. “Like the Australian version of Google or Facebook… and it might have nothing to do with either of those things or look anything like that, but that’s what I mean — we don’t know yet because it hasn’t been thought of, doesn’t exist yet.” He envisions autonomous and electric vehicles as the mode of transport in hubs like the new Maroochydore CBD, Caloundra and Bokarina. Even the proposed mass transit system will be out of date by 2041 and will advance to autonomous vehicles. Also by 2041, the Coast will have already been on display to the world at the 2032 Olympics and will still be enjoying new roads and transport, a proper stadium and its own national sporting teams such as NRL and AFL clubs. We will welcome a huge rush of international tourists who could stay at one of two new five-star resorts — or even a six-star resort. “The last five years we’ve have had the highest infrastructure spend per capita than any of the top 20 cities in Australia and that’s going to continue unabated for another 10,” he says. The region will be a centre of health, education and sport and the wealth and expanse of jobs on offer will attract a diversity of people, adding “spice” to the Coast’s social fabric. Workers will commute to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane, rather than the other way around because of the type of work

“For want of a better term, we will be the modern Silicon Valley, but an Australia version” Mal Cayley

and because of one key constraint that Mr Cayley warns will still be a problem 20 years from now — housing. By then Aura will have been completed ahead of schedule and be home to 50,000 people, but the proposed master-planned community at Beerwah East would only be halfway finished when, realistically, Mr Cayley says it needs to be done by 2030. Mr McCrindle says owning their own suburban home is still very much in the psyche of Millennials who are fanning out into regional communities to live the Australian dream. He says master-planned communities like Aura are attractive to couples starting a family, but young people will also be attracted to medium-density living like apartments and townhouses that have access to parks and beaches. Mr Cayley says Australia and the world will change more in the next 20 years than the past 50 years, but the Coast is well ahead of everyone else on this path. “We’ve been on the path that the whole world has just woken up to because of COVID,” he says.

Dreams do come true Former Paralympian Marayke Jonkers continues to inspire and support future athletes through her Sporting Dreams charity. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

hen a car accident left Marayke Jonkers paralysed from the chest down at just eight months old, she grew up not knowing any other way. While others were learning to walk, she was learning to pull herself around on a skateboard or climbing equipment at the park using her arms. But it was a dream to compete as a swimmer that started her on her greatest adventure, ultimately leading her to establish a charity helping other paraathletes follow their dreams. Ms Jonkers knew she wanted to be a swimmer before she had even heard of the Paralympics. She would watch the

Olympics on television and, growing up at Kiels Mountain, was inspired by the likes of Sunshine Coast-based athletes Lisa Curry and Clint Robinson. “There was no Paralympics on TV back then,” she says. “I saw Lisa Curry and Clint Robinson win medals and I was like, wow a kid from the Sunshine Coast can do that.” Training at the Cotton Tree pool, she began her Paralympic journey and eventually went on to compete at Sydney, Athens and Beijing, where she won two

bronze and a silver medal, and broke Australian and Oceania records across her pet event, the 50-metre breaststroke and the 200-metre individual medley. She was also instrumental in championing the way for Australian para-triathletes, becoming Australia’s first female para-triathlete when she won bronze at the world championships in 2010. But it is her success out of the pool, and passion to help others overcome adversity, that has seen her charity,

Sporting Dreams, grow from strength to strength. “I started it to fill the disability-related gap to getting involved in sport,” she tells My Weekly Preview. “Since then, I have become a very strong advocate to give people with disabilities an opportunity.” The Maroochydore woman began Sporting Dreams in 2008 with the money she won through Cosmopolitan magazine’s Fun Fearless Female Awards, where she announced her charity goal almost by accident. “I was in a room with people like Carla Zampatti and Delta Goodrem

NEWS and I was trying to think of what I could say in my speech. I decided to say in my acceptance speech that I wasn’t going to put the money to my training for Beijing, but that I was going to start a charity. “I had no idea how to start a charity. The room was full of media and famous people, so I guess it was one way to hold myself accountable.” She wanted Sporting Dreams to provide for others what she wished she had as a para-athlete when she started out – funding. “I sold raffle tickets outside local shopping centres to fundraise to get to every single competition and buy every single swimsuit growing up. “The vision in this was thinking ‘what did I wish I had that would have helped me’. So, we give out funding grants and provide mentoring. “Now that we are over a decade into it, what we do has been anything from [providing] a support worker, to modifying a bicycle so a kid can ride down the street with their sibling.” Ms Jonkers says the charity has helped several Paralympians, including swimmer Lakeisha Patterson and five athletes who recently competed in Tokyo. She says the best part of Sporting

Dreams for her is watching each athlete grow and thrive. “I feel like they are all like my kids; I have helped nurture them and now they are here.” Ms Jonkers believes the promotion and recognition of para-athletes has come a long way since she was competing and says she has been quite emotional watching the live broadcast and lead-up to the recent Games. “Other people might look at me in my in a wheelchair and go, ‘well that really defines me and it’s part of my story’. “When I was becoming an athlete, it just happened to be the thing I was sitting in. When I was growing up, all I had to look at was the Olympics. “I’ve never been as emotional at any of my events as I’ve been watching the TV these games.” She hopes the Paralympic movement will continue to inspire the next generation of athletes. “We don’t wake up in the morning and go ‘I’m going to inspire someone today’, but as a default of what we do, by sharing our stories, we do. “It’s beautiful to see that the movement becomes a beacon for that.”

ONCOLOGIST RETURNS AFTER STINT AT HARVARD

Melanoma game changer 3D body scanners will improve melanoma detection. WORDS: AAP.

ew technology that could save lives through the early detection and treatment of melanoma has been unveiled on the Sunshine Coast. More than 28,000 Australians are diagnosed with a melanoma each year, leading to an average 1700 deaths – one of the highest rates in the world. There is currently no standardised diagnosis for it. But, this week, the first of 15,000 Australians have stepped into 3D body scanners rolled out through the Australian Cancer Research Foundation in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. This technology undertakes full body mapping, allowing researchers to

investigate and track potentially problematic moles and skin spots over time. Researchers are aiming to devise an algorithm that can project who will suffer melanoma and other skin cancers. The body mapping technology will enable a national database of up to 100,000 patient images taken from the 15 state-ofthe-art 3D imaging systems over a five-year period. “This bold initiative will allow us to really improve the early detection and treatment of melanoma,” University of Queensland dermatology professor Peter Soyer says. The technology will be used at six sites in Queensland – Sunshine Coast, Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital, Cairns, Townsville and Mount Isa.

A leading oncologist from the Sunshine Coast has a special reason to return home from Harvard. Doctor Andrew Schmidt (pictured), who spent two years conducting cancer research and clinical trials at the worldrenowned Harvard Cancer Institute, says he is thrilled to be back. He is eager to treat local patients and expand the region’s medical research capabilities, after his work plans in the United States were turned upside down by COVID-19. “All of our research labs got shut down, we were working predominantly from home and had to pivot our research to address the very immediate danger of cancer patients being exposed to COVID-19. “The virus changed everything. We normally form a hypothesis, then test it in a controlled or randomised fashion. “But the pandemic was dynamic and if you try to perform all of your research in a traditional way, it becomes irrelevant very quickly, often before it can benefit patients.” Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital’s Clinical Trials Unit was one of the drawcards that lured Dr Schmidt back to Queensland. The team launched a new prostate

cancer trial earlier this month. “What I call ‘man cancers’, so prostate and testicular cancers, are the reason I get up in the morning. “My best mate and grandad both died of cancer when I was an oncology pharmacist and it led me to go into medicine so that I could help people,” Dr Schmidt says. “I wanted to improve my research skills at a world centre of excellence so that I could bring that knowledge back to help local patients. “Clinical trials is a growth area and we have the ability to expand this unit and really benefit cancer patients on the Sunshine Coast.”

WHARF CONVERSION A former Mooloolaba nightclub has now become a sophisticated riverside function centre. WORDS: Janine Hill. Troy Davey, Ord Minnett Buderim.

CATCH-UP CONCESSIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS

he sticky dance floor, thumping music and flashing lights have been replaced by charcoal timber panelling and mood lighting at what was once one of the region’s most popular nightclubs. What was known as Friday’s on the Wharf in the ’80s, ’90s and noughties, and later The Helm, has become the tasteful Savvy Up, a sophisticated function centre. The conversion marks the end of an era for Mooloolaba’s longest continuous nightclub premises. It used to be the place where the under-thirties swarmed at the end of the working week. In its heyday, Friday’s hosted top live acts such as You Am I, Powderfinger and Regurgitator. Some of the traditions of Friday’s continued when it was rebadged The Helm, but that closed suddenly two years ago with little information given about its future. At the time, ALH Group had closed the Wharf Tavern below it to refurbish and re-open as the Savvy Squire Brewhouse. Nicola Spencer, ALH group function

and sales manager for the Sunshine Coast and Fraser Coast, says the decision was made to convert The Helm to a waterfront function venue. One of the major changes made to the venue has been to open up a wall with floor-to-ceiling glass to make the most of views of the harbour and river. A stage area remains and has been curtained off pending possible future use but another raised concrete area has been completely removed. The area seats 120 to 150 and has been furnished with timber tables and chairs, but arrangements can be made to clear an area for dancing if required. The decor is tasteful and lends itself to personalised decor for individual functions, including Cup days, conferences and fashion shows. Ms Spencer says the venue is open for functions only and not on a walk-in basis. “We really want to be part of the community. We want to work with the local residents and be the place where they want to have weddings or other functions.”

Concessional contributions are generally contributions made by your employer (superannuation guarantee), salary sacrifice contributions and personal deductible contributions. These contributions are generally taxed when received in your superannuation account at 15 per cent. These concessional tax rates offered on these types of contributions may be lower than the marginal rate of tax you pay on the earnings in your personal name – hence they are generally referred to as tax-effective contributions. There is a concessional contribution cap in place – currently $27,500 for the 2021/2022 financial year. In short, the contributions mentioned above must not exceed the above or additional tax or penalties may be levied. However, the government introduced a particular measure called ‘carried forward’ or ‘catch up’ concessional contributions back in July 2018. This measure has been introduced for those who are eligible to contribute, have not made full use of their concessional contribution cap in previous financial years and have a total super balance below $500,000 at June 30 in the prior financial year.

Yearly unused concessional contributions accumulate up to a maximum of five years. To ensure you don’t exceed your contribution limits, you should review your contribution history and superannuation balance details to be sure you do indeed qualify to make these contributions. So why is the ‘catch-up’ concessional contribution a strategy worth considering? Simply, it may allow you to make a larger tax-effective contribution to your superannuation account during a particular financial year – ultimately taking advantage of the concessional tax rates associated with these contributions. This strategy has worked favourably for those clients who have had a large one-off tax event during a particular financial year. For example, where you realise a large capital gain by selling an investment property or shares – this particular measure, assuming you qualify, may be beneficial to you in managing the tax impost associated with such a transaction. Other reasons may include large one-off bonuses received in respect of hard work during a particular year – or your own business has had a particularly good year. Obviously – the one key downside to this strategy – is once funds are contributed to super they are not accessible until you reach preservation age and meet a condition of release. We work with our clients and their tax agents to ensure that any strategy that is implemented makes the most amount of sense to your personal situation.

THE TASTE OF SUCCESS Sunshine Coast food producers have identified a growing demand for innovative plant-based food products. Words: Leigh Robshaw.

ammy Fry gets up at 5am every morning to go surfing with her two young sons, Josh and Kai. She’s a businesswoman, a fifth-dan international karate champion, a self-defence coach, public speaker and author. Glowing with good health and full of energy, the mother follows a vegan diet – a lifestyle choice that also drives her business life. Originally from South Africa and now based in Noosa, she co-founded the Meat Free Mondays Foundation in Australia in 2009 (following other meatless Monday campaigns that had been launched previously in the US and UK) and is the current director. A lifelong vegan, Ms Fry comes from a family that embraced a plant-based diet decades ago, long before it became cool with social media influencers and celebrities. Her parents founded the Fry Family Food Co in 1991, producing vegan meat substitutes. “We’re seeing a rise in consciousness where, especially in the developed world, people are looking at their food more closely – where it comes from, how it’s

Businesswoman Tammy Fry says plant-based eating is a way of life for her family raised, how our food choices affect the environment,’’ she says. “People are starting to engage more with their food and understand the impact it has on themselves and the rest of the world.” The majority of Australians love their meat.

Australians identify as vegan and three per cent vegetarian. There’s no danger of losing the Aussie tradition of throwing a steak on the barbie just yet. But interest in veganism and plant-based diets is growing. In the past 12 months, Google Trends showed Australia came third after the UK and New Zealand in global searches for the word

‘vegan’ and third for the term ‘plant-based diet’ after Singapore and the US. It’s no wonder there is a growing number of plant-based businesses popping up around the country. Michael Fox grew up as a meat-loving Queenslander, even writing a song called Steak of Glory as a child. He became vegetarian in 2015 for environmental, health and ethical reasons and earlier this year, went fully vegan. His wife and two young children, who are four and two, are also vegan. They live on a 41-acre property at Hunchy, which serves as the headquarters of Fable Food, a company that produces meat alternatives primarily based on shiitake mushrooms. Mr Fox co-founded Fable Food in 2019 with Jim Fuller and Chris McLoghlin. It quickly caught the eye of Michelin-star chef Heston Blumenthal, who has declared himself a fan, catapulting the Sunshine Coast business to international fame. Recently, Mr Blumenthal created the Heston Fable Burger for Grill’d stores nationally, based on Fable Food’s meat alternative. It was so popular, Grill’d has rolled out three more Fable burgers in the

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

HELP CLEAN UP THE BEACHES

Opening doors for next generation Calling all Sunshine Coast university and TAFE students! Kick-start your career and earn a wage with Sunshine Coast Council’s My Summer Workplace program.

y Summer Workplace is a 10-week program providing tertiary students with the chance to gain real-world experience in their chosen profession at one of Australia’s most dynamic local government organisations. Applying for a My Summer Workplace internship in 2015 was a career game changer for Alex Dunn, who is now a principal property officer with Council. He says the program has enabled him to kick-start his career, providing opportunities at a young age he wouldn’t have received elsewhere. He says his role is diverse and interesting, and includes everything from buying and selling properties to property developments,

sub-divisions and design and lease of cafes. Council invites applications from tertiary students or recent graduates looking for an opportunity to expand their knowledge, skills and passion for innovation. Paid placements are offered in the areas of business performance, economic and community development, sport and community venues, liveability and natural assets, project delivery, communication and marketing and people and culture. Outstanding Organisation Portfolio Councillor Ted Hungerford says demand for the My Summer Workplace program continues to grow, since it started in 2014 with just a handful of placements.

Tertiary students on the Sunshine Coast, like Alex Dunn, have recognised the benefits of this early chance to apply their theoretical skills to real-world situations. Applicants must be enrolled in a tertiary course and have completed 16 or more subjects, or have graduated in the past 12 months. They must reside in Queensland. The program runs from November 29, 2021 to February18, 2022, with a two-week break from December 27 to January 7. Applications close September 26. For more information, visit sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or call 5441 9393.

Students and teachers will hit the beaches over coming months to keep our beaches looking great and prepare for turtle nesting season. This year Council’s Beach Clean Up Program will offer registered schools their very own Super Series where students learn about coastal processes and generate ideas to reduce waste at the source. The clean ups will take place between October 25 and November 5 and schools are invited to register their interest in participating. To find out more, search ‘beach clean up’ at events.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

OPPORTUNITY FLOWS FROM RAINFALL RUN OFF Our network of stormwater drains may be out of sight, but they are not out of mind. A new community-designed plan sets out how to make the most of storm water and protect our natural environment. Community feedback has been incorporated into the plan which, among other objectives, aims to keep waterways and beaches safe and clean. The strategy explains how Council, developers and our community can work together to effectively manage stormwater. Take a closer look at the Stormwater Management Strategy on Council’s website.

It’s Spring! And that means flying foxes are growing their families. You may see them in park areas and you might hear the young pups calling to their mums for a short time. This won’t last forever. Flying foxes are seasonal animals that come and go. Council understands it can be difficult living near flying fox roosts and is implementing a long-term aim to entice flying-foxes to more suitable homes. Learn more by visiting Council’s website and searching for ‘flying foxes’.

FROM THE MAYOR Sunshine Coast Council has committed a record $5.7 million to our lifeguard services this year, ensuring more than 20 areas across our Sunshine Coast are patrolled by highly skilled lifeguards and lifesavers throughout the season. The official patrol season kicks off on Friday, September 17 in time for the start of the school holidays, and continues through to May. Our beaches are a popular natural attraction, but at the same time, it is crucial everyone plays it safe, obeys the directions of the lifeguards and swims between the flags every time you go to the beach. Check in with the friendly lifeguards on duty to understand beach conditions before you go in the water and take the time to learn beach safety rules to understand rips, stingers and sun safety. If you’re new to our region, joining the surf lifesaving movement is part of our DNA on the Sunshine Coast and a terrific way to get to know the community, make friends and understand beach safety. For patrol times and locations visit the Beach Safe website. Mark Jamieson Mayor Sunshine Coast Council

news Suncoast Care’s Kieran Bergs in the organisation’s low-cost grocery store

COAST CHARITIES HELP PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE Recent statistics reveal a 47 per cent increase in demand for food relief since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

or many Sunshine Coast families, food insecurity is becoming a frightening reality. But local groups are continuing to tackle the problem in the community. For more than 20 years Suncoast Care, the service arm of Suncoast Church, has been serving the needs of vulnerable people on the Coast and today facilitates a range of programs including a low-cost food outlet, meal kitchen, breakfast and pantry programs, and emergency relief. Suncoast Care program co-ordinator Karen Gullo says the need for services is growing as a result of the COVID

pandemic and high unemployment rates. “With the pandemic we have seen a significant increase in the need for emergency relief and the provision of food hampers as well as increasing requests associated with the current housing affordability crisis,” Ms Gullo tells My Weekly Preview. “During the recent lockdown, within hours we received a request for 100 meals for local Sunshine Coast University students, many of whom had lost their casual work and were not sure how they were going to be able to afford to eat. “The other significant trend that we

are seeing is more families and individuals than ever experiencing a squeeze on their finances due to increased rental costs and lack of rental availability. “Individuals and families that could previously make ends meet are not able to do so, leading to increase in food insecurity across the Sunshine Coast.” Recent statistics from Foodbank reveals a 47 per cent increase in demand for food relief since the start of the pandemic. The hunger relief charity also says the hardest-hit age group is 18- to 25-year-olds and that 33 per cent of food insecure residents in Queensland had not gone hungry before the pandemic. To help alleviate pressure, Suncoast Care’s low-cost grocery store on Howard Street offers those experiencing financial stress membership and access to significantly reduced-priced items. “Many items are very low-cost, and some are even free with new specials available in store every week,” Ms Gullo says. “With the ever-increasing cost of living we know there is more pressure than ever on peoples’ finances and at Suncoast Care we want to help your dollar stretch further and make good nutrition affordable.” Suncoast Care also rescues 220 tonnes of food every year from supermarkets and fresh food stores, while local farmers donate another 50 tonnes of produce. “We have a number of amazing farmers and local business partners that support us every week with the donation of produce and products for which we are very grateful.” The service relies on the community to keep programs running and Ms Gullo says residents can volunteer for a variety of roles, donate or become involved in year-round campaigns, including the Christmas Hope Hampers program.

“There is always room for more and also the opportunity for business that may want to sponsor our programs or our refrigerated food trucks.” Meanwhile Caloundra’s Gateway Care earlier this year launched its Random Acts of Community Kindness (RACK) initiative, allowing Sunshine Coast residents to purchase vouchers for struggling families to use at its grocery store. Gateway director Amanda Peterson says the RACK vouchers are a way to show kindness while providing practical support to families and people on the Sunshine Coast that need help. “Gateway have over 10,000 families on its database and last year alone, we provided support to 3500 families – an increase of 50 families each week against previous year averages,” she says. “We know that the cost of food and living can at times exceed what many people can afford, and many families are crying out for help. In April 2021, Gateway had a further 143 new families join. The number of families we are supporting has increased by 46 per cent over the last five years and reflects the continued growth and need in our community for services for people who are struggling.” To find out how you can help, visit suncoast.org.au or gatewaycare.org.au.

A 21-year-old Coolum man whose flat battery left him stranded at night is hoping to help others avoid finding themselves in the same situation. Bailey Page’s phone died while he was attempting to order an Uber, which sparked the idea to fill a gap in the market and create as pocket-sized, cableless portable charger. “The next day I went online to try and find exactly what I was looking for and was shocked nothing came up not only in Australia but also globally,” he says. “So instead I set my sights on creating my own and thought of the design idea while I was at the gym.” Mr Page has spent the past year researching and developing his own

product Zip Zap, which attaches directly to an iPhone and allows users to recharge their device in their hand or pocket. “It also provides a level of safety. Nowadays many of us have everything on our phones from our bank cards to our ride-sharing apps, so if it dies at the wrong time we essentially have no money and no way home,” Mr Page says. “I just want to make sure no one is stuck with no way home in the middle of the night.” Zip Zap’s three-in-one charger allows users to charge iPhones, AirPods and iPads and Mr Page is also working on developing an Android model.

An award-winning fiction writer with a love of reading has self-published his first novel Crucial Step. Ian Laver began reading at a young age and over the years has been associated with several writing groups, including as president of the Sunshine Coast Literary Association, and won numerous writing awards, including two Henry Lawson Emerging Writer awards. “I began reading from a young age and for the last 20 years or so I read at least one fiction novel a week,” he says. “As a child I enjoyed keeping diaries of trips and experiences. I was encouraged to attend a creative writing course and that gave me the knowledge needed to construct stories.” His adventure novel is set in the late 1980s in Malaysia and follows the journey of Theo Perry, a 22-year-old Australian who searches for the truth about his estranged father. “I enjoy the challenge to give the reader an experience with words, to try to find ways to show the richness of experiences, places and characters,” Mr Laver says. “I try to engage my reader and make them feel as if they are right there,

Division one I’m very much looking forward to the official opening of the Beerwah Community Meeting Place on September 23 to welcome the community to this beautiful and valuable new building. Inspired by the adjacent natural environment, the building’s design works well to provide inspired indoor and outdoor spaces and critically expands the meeting rooms with three multi-purpose flexible meeting rooms and an outdoor area. It will be the ideal space for the many community groups and businesses to meet, collaborate and create. This people-focused project provides a new community gathering place, and entry statement, complementing the existing library and community hall facilities in Beerwah’s ‘Heart’ precinct. Along with

Turner Park, these spaces enable and encourage more public activation and engagement, bringing our cultures, arts and heritage to life. Our community will also see future upgrades to Turner Park, thanks to funding from the Queensland Government’s $100 million South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program. These improvements will include upgraded pathways, landscaping and recreational infrastructure. The Beerwah Library is already a much-loved resource in the community, and it is our aspiration that with these upgrades and new additions, this entire district-level precinct will better service and enhance not just Beerwah, but also our Glass House country communities.

NETBALL GOAL BUILT In late August, Councillor Peter Cox unveiled a netball goal area in Aroona Park following a request from a young local resident, Amber, as her and her team mates regularly train in the park. The finished project includes a new netball court and upgraded half basketball court. Cr Cox also surprised Amber with a visit from a few Sunshine Coast Lightning players to shoot the first goals.

WHAT’S ON

What: The Common People Dance Eisteddfod. When: September 19, 6.30pm, South Bank Piazza, BOQ Festival Garden. Cost: Single admission $35, groups of four $25 each. Duration: 1.5 hours.

Sunshine Coast dancers are heading down to the state capital to compete in a colourful – and not at all serious – dance competition as part of the Brisbane Festival. WORDS: Gail Forrer.

ove over Madonna, Cher and Cyndi Lauper. There’s a post-millennium group of Sunshine Coast girls who just wanna have fun. By day, this group of women are navigating business plans, career moves and family relationships, but by night, well, they’re getting physical – with the Common People Dance Project. These ladies get a kick out of far-out hair, big lipstick and fluoro leotards, and they’re about to shake their 1980s booty

IMAGE: LOU O’BRIEN

They’ve got the moves Dance troupe members Dui Cameron, Casey Macneil, Cat McIntyre and Ajanta Willert with a nostalgic, comedic dance-off routine on the South Bank Piazza at this month’s Brisbane Festival. It’s their second chance to dance on stage after COVID put a halt to their performance at the Sunshine Coast’s annual Horizon Festival. Dance troupe member and Sunshine Coast businesswoman Casey Macneil says she loves the tongue-in-cheek style, and the dance-off routine energises her competitive spirit. Dance troupe creator Neridah

Waters, an actor and international performance artist, says the weekly practise night is the one night of the week you get to be ridiculous – and that’s okay. “You’re 19 again and at a nightclub,” she laughs. Ms Waters began the Common People Dance Project about three years ago in Brisbane. The underpinning ethos of this sparkling, brave and bold dance style is inclusiveness and fun. “Everyone can dance,” Ms Waters says. “I take my hat off to the beautiful,

elite dancers – but every move is the right move here.” Additionally, a sad life event also fuelled the dance troupe’s creation. “I missed out on getting into Rock Eisteddfod at school,” Ms Waters confesses. The dance project has proved so successful, it has expanded from one small group to groups in the north, south, east and west side of Brisbane together with the Gold and Sunshine coasts. Each of these troupes will be competing against each other in The Common People Dance Eisteddfod at the festival and their chances of success will be enhanced by the quality of bribes they tempt the judges with and how they use their wits to sabotage other teams. Their efforts will be rewarded with a magnificent trophy carefully manufactured from much-loved recycled trophies.

MY OPINION

ROAD RULES REFRESHER

THE MISSING LINK

Jane Stephens says there are some things we should all do once, but learning the road rules isn’t one of them.

Ashley Robinson says Policelink is a joke and should be replaced with a more effective system for reporting crime.

offspring on the rightly prolonged journey to get their own licences. Even then, rare is the driver who would claim to know it all from two decades earlier and can instruct their kid with authority. Drivers should have to demonstrate they know the road rules every five or 10 years. It makes good sense. The other one-off that should become a regular, regulated check is fitness tests for all those in professions that require mobility — such as the Queensland Police Service and nurses. If a baddie can outrun a pursuing officer and a nurse finds reaching over a patient to turn on a switch a challenge, surely that is not an acceptable standard, not matter how long they have been in their jobs? It should be a requirement for professionals to regularly meet physical standards when public care and safety depends on it. They say you only live once: YOLO. But even that is incorrect, because you live every day. The truism is that you only die once, but maybe YODO did not catch on with self-help focus groups.

n the self-actualised world of seizing the day and gathering rosebuds while ye may, there is many an aspirational adage about things you should do once. Growing or hunting your own complete meal is something everyone should experience once, it is said. But there are some things that should be done more than once. Meeting the requirements needed to earn a driver’s licence is one. Most of us got our ticket to ride at age 17 and have never been tested since. For some of us, that is a long time on the blacktop without having to demonstrate we know how many metres we can park from an intersection or how far we should hang back from the car in front. Laws change alongside our improved road conditions and souped-up car technology. There are more of us on the road than ever and the rules have to be adapted to better handle the herd. But the system relies on us to do our own updating and to stay current on the rules. Ignorance of the law is no defence. The biggest brush-up on the rules most people get is when they supervise their

here has been a fair bit of press lately about youth crime and crime in general; how it is out of control and the state government is either at a loss to do something about it or simply has no idea, or don’t care? House break and enters, car-jacking, vandalism and hooning are all top of the pops at the moment. Now of course, any government worth its political salt loves a good crisis, which seems to keep them in government. Cyclones, fire, flood, drought and of course this awful pandemic would and will keep any government busy, so crime might be down the pecking order somewhat, but its seems it’s at pandemic levels. Now I know the state government is a tad busy, so maybe as a concerned citizen I can help, as I think I have the answer on how to get the crime wave down. Get rid of Policelink and publish phone numbers of local police stations – you know, a bit like having your own copper looking after his own patch. If you don’t believe me, the next time you

see an idiot speeding or doing burnouts, ring Policelink and see how you go. The other day, my mate witnessed an idiot on Okinja Road, so he rang the number, took six minutes to get through, and described the crime. He said, “White Holden going west on the wrong side at high speed.” They said, “Did you get the rego?” He said, “No it was going too fast.” They said, “Going towards the water or away?” He said, “Away from the water, west.” They said, “Can you still see the car?” He said, “Where are you at, mate?” They said, “Brisbane.” He said, “Goodbye.” By the time the call was over the car was probably at Dalby, which is my point. This system doesn’t work. It should actually be called, the Missing Link. Give the public the phone number of our local stations and let’s get back to some old-fashioned policing so the people we are ringing at least know where we are and what the hell we are talking about. Or at least get the number to divert to police comms, so it is all local. It isn’t rocket science – or maybe it is?

MY OPINION

LIFE’S GREAT MYSTERIES Sami Muirhead has finally found the answer to a question that has plagued her for 40 years and she bets it has haunted others, too.

ell, it has been a trip down memory lane this week, with a lifelong question finally answered for me. I have pondered this question for 45 years. And now, I have the solution. It is not a question about life after death or how we came about in the first place. My question that has long plagued me is what the heck is that thing called Grimace at McDonalds. You know what I mean? Or who I mean? The big purple blob-like character with a big grin on his face, often seen hanging out with Ronald McDonald and Hamburglar? Well, finally we have an answer as to what the heck Grimace actually is, so next time we go to the Golden Arches, we can feel quite smug in our superior knowledge. That big purple thing is in fact meant to be a huge taste bud. One of the big wigs at the corporation explained in a TV interview in America this week that Grimace is a taste bud. What the? I am still very confused. Perhaps the good folk at the fast food outlet were drunk all those decades ago when they decided to create a giant

purple taste bud. But I am equally relieved to have confirmation after all these decades feeling bewildered by the blob. As a child, I thought he was a purple chicken nugget. Seems a feasible explanation looking back. Then in my twenties, there were many rumours about Maccas, including the fact that Grimace represented a big berry milkshake. Now to solve my other long-held question: is the apple pie served at Maccas made of apple or choko? And of course the big one we all want to know… how does Jennifer Lopez never seem to age? My friend tells me there is only one solution to this burning question. J-Lo is a vampire. And lastly, why do they only make packets of black jelly beans for sale and ignore the other colours in the pack? This one is above my pay grade and I am unable to answer. Have a great week and when you see Grimace next, you will know he is a giant taste bud. At least in these times of uncertainty we can sleep easier with this knowledge.

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

With unpredictable Uranus disrupting relationships or finances, tread gingerly with a sulky partner, unreliable lover, grumpy housemate, family member or client. You’ll find the more patient and diplomatic you are, the less stressful the week will be.

Wednesday’s Mercury/Pluto square could increase your tendency to fuel a grand obsession. On Thursday, we celebrate the equinox, and the sun, Mercury and Mars are visiting your privacy zone, so it’s time to experience some splendid solitude.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

There are two ‘lucky’ aspects this week. Jupiter (your power planet) trines Mercury, which gives you the gift of the gab, and then Saturn trines Mars, which can be wonderful for turning dynamic creative plans into productive projects.

With ongoing pandemic problems and constant challenges, do you feel as if you’re going nowhere? The stars are testing your stamina and patience, so don’t give up. This week, the Mars/Saturn trine helps you tap into your reserves of inner strength.

Monday night’s full moon scrambles your financial antennae, so it’s not a good time to borrow funds, invest, go on a shopping spree or lend money to others. You’re liable to make financial decisions based on your fluctuating emotions.

Courtesy of the Piscean full moon, be careful you’re not viewing people through ridiculously rose-coloured glasses. Creative inspiration and intuitive insights are highlighted, but don’t get so carried away that you head into the realm of pure fantasy.

LIVE WELL WITH ASSISTED LIVING

ssisted living apartments are an attractive proposition for older Australians who desire a little extra support but know they are not ready for aged care. For Betty and Marcus, long-term residents of the Aveo Lindsay Gardens retirement village in Buderim, these

apartments offer peace of mind as they age. A fairly independent couple with a colourful history, Betty and Marcus originally moved to the retirement village to stay socially connected and for the convenience it offered. “We’ve had a very blessed life,” Betty

“Assisted living offers the ongoing services that we need to make life a lot easier” distance from Buderim. We just loved it and had a good feeling about it.” But after 23 years in their retirement villa, they soon realised the benefits of assisted living and the services it can provide to help retirees live well. “We loved our villa of course, but we decided it was time to move to assisted living in a serviced apartment. We’re not getting any younger, we are a little slower, and we thought that assisted living offers

the ongoing services that we need to make life a lot easier,” Betty says. It was a move the couple has not regretted. “Our families were a little worried about us moving into an apartment at first, but now they have seen it, they are more than happy. We invite them over to look at it and they love it and the environment. They can see why we are living where we are,” Betty says. “Our serviced apartment feels like home to us, it is very cosy. We are still fairly independent, but we receive so much support from the lovely staff on site. From the front staff to the kitchen, everyone is always helpful. And after 67 years of cooking, I am very happy not to have to do that now. The meals are delicious, and staff even ask me what I would like in my meals – that is how good they are.” For anyone who might be unsure about living in a retirement village, Betty’s advice is resounding. “Don’t leave it too late. It can be traumatic and daunting, particularly if you are doing everything by yourself. Retirement villages have a great social aspect. You are never lonely and you can do as much or as little as you want.”

LUXURY RAINFOREST LIVING AWAITS

HEARING BETTER, LIVING BETTER

After visiting many different over-50s communities, Brisbane couple Paul and Catherine Hemmings couldn’t go past B by Halcyon as the setting for their next chapter. The pair, who live in leafy Burbank, are excited to swap their one-hectare home for one of the community’s coveted homes in the Rainforest Series, which are built on larger blocks and have an impressive list of extra features. “We looked at quite a few communities, and we were very impressed with Halcyon in relation to a range of things,” Mr Hemmings says. These include design, masterplanning, facilities and environmental considerations, which made the Buderim community the standout choice. With around 4000 solar panels set to be installed, B by Halcyon’s carbon emissions from the community are predicted to be reduced by more than 1000 tonnes per annum. “I think that anything that we can do now to enhance the green aspects of these developments is a benefit to everybody,” Mr Hemmings says. Regional project director Chris Carley says the Rainforest Series is all about homebuyer choice and ﬂexibility,

Retirement brings on many challenges, everything changes and that includes your social structures. You will be spending more time with your spouse, and you will probably end up with an expanded social group. Hearing loss can put a real brake on enjoying these newfound opportunities. Hearing loss is one of those things that because it doesn’t hurt and it doesn’t bleed it can be pushed to the back of the health concerns. Sadly, that means people put off doing something about it even though its making their lives much harder. Quite often people are put off by pushy sales techniques from the multitude of hearing aid shops that have sprung up everywhere. When you make the decision to do something about your hearing there are great advantages to finding an independent, Australian-owned hearing clinic. First and foremost you will not be dealing with a huge multinational company; secondly, independent means a wider choice. Did you know that some hearing aid shops are owned by the companies that make certain brands of hearing aids, and that’s all you will be offered. The importance of

Buyers can choose between a bigger home with a media room and study or have more outdoor space with a bigger yard and atrium.” Set to have around 300 homes on completion, B by Halcyon will also feature five-star health and wellness facilities including a 25-metre covered and heated magnesium salt pool with spa, outdoor resort pool, gymnasium and circuit room, yoga lawn, massage and therapy treatment rooms and beauty salon.

THREE SIGNS IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE Have you been thinking about downsizing your home, but are unsure if you’re ready to take the plunge? Here are three ways to tell it might be time to sell up and move into a more relaxed and carefree stage of your life: • Your current home’s layout is no longer working: When you bought your home, stairs weren’t a problem, and the bath wasn’t a dangerous fall waiting to happen like it might be now. Perhaps having the microwave out of reach of little hands was a good idea, but now you struggle to reach it. • Maintenance is overwhelming: Homes, particularly older ones, are forever needing something repaired. Now is not the time to be climbing ladders to fix the roof, and paying someone else to do it is

expensive. Besides, who wants to spend their weekends cleaning windows and mowing lawns when you could be having the grandkids over or going for a long drive? • You want to free up some cash: With the kids grown up you have plenty of free time on your hands, so perhaps you want to do a bit of travelling. Selling your home and buying a smaller, cheaper one could give you money to do just that. It’s important to consult a professional before making any big financial decisions. Make sure you’ve done all your research before taking the plunge.

If you feel it’s time to downsize, you can start your search by learning more about life in a retirement village at IRT. Visit irt.org.au or call 134 478.

The word ‘community’ is freely bandied about in real estate marketing, without much thought as to what it actually means. However, the unique over-50s development of Greenwood, Forest Glen is proving what community is truly about in practise. The Christmas in July celebrations was the most recent example of the unique community focus that has been at the core of the Greenwood philosophy since the first seeds of the development concept were planted. Taking place on July 30, 52 current and future residents made the most of it with a full Christmas spread laid on and secret Santa gifts shared. This was followed up by a stroll around one of Greenwood’s most popular community facilities, the vegetable gardens and orchard, where Greenwood’s green thumbs were keen to show off their latest plantings and fruit trees bursting with early spring growth. Community manager John Warner, design specialist Ebony Dunstan and sales manager Tom Midgley joined in the festivities, conducting tours of the latest progress at Greenwood.

30 years in the Buderim community

Chief among the keenly anticipated new additions were the start of earthworks on Greenwoods centrepiece Club Eden, the development’s private recreation club and community hub, exclusively for residents and their guests. Construction has also started on the forest walk through Greenwood’s fivehectare private conservation reserve. Across the road from Greenwood’s main entrance, construction of the Forest Glen Village Shopping Centre also continues apace. With all 54 homes that comprised Greenwood stages one and two now completely sold out, the recent stage three release of 21 homes is proving popular with over-50s keen to be a part of the Greenwood lifestyle.

PALM LAKE RESORT BUILDS MORE THAN JUST HOMES Palm Lake Resort is in the business of building award-winning homes and world-class facilities, but this family-owned Australian company is also in the important business of building great communities. Palm Lake Resorts are places where over-50s buy a physical abode but also get a wonderful lifestyle among likeminded neighbours as part of the deal. While sporting pursuits, creative hobbies and social interests have been proven to bring these Palm Lake Resort homeowners together, so does a great meal, which is why every new resort country club is also home to a fully equipped commercial kitchen. According to Palm Lake Group founder/director Walter Elliott, the joy he gets from his role nowadays is in seeing Palm Lake Resort residents enjoy each other’s company – generally around a table of food, with a wine bottle. There are experienced resort chefs manning these impressive kitchens, preparing some great weekly menus fresh on site. Each of the newest Palm Lake Resorts also offers one free meal, per home, per week to be enjoyed at one of the weekly resident meal sittings. This provides the perfect excuse for neighbours to come together and enjoy a catch-up over a delicious lunch or dinner (and maybe even a frothy/bubbly beverage

or two), just as Mr Elliott would like. Palm Lake Resort Beachmere Bay’s commercial kitchen is overseen by Kay Smoothy, who has a long history with Palm Lake Resort – she’s in her eighth year with the group and has worked in kitchens across Palm Lake Resorts at Eagleby, Cooroy-Noosa, Deception Bay, Carindale and Beachmere Sands before Beachmere Bay. This is following a 15-year stint running her own catering company. Ms Smoothy says her Palm Lake Resort residents enjoy a range of meals – everything from roast lamb and homemade meat pies to more exotic curries. “I get great pleasure out of seeing people enjoying my meals. Our dinners are such social events – they love the food, but they also love the night out with friends.”

Artist’s impression

COASTAL COOL: OVER-50s RESORT’S NEW COUNTRY CLUB A STATEMENT IN STYLE Contemporary, sleek and visually light thanks to the abundant use of glass, the new GemLife Maroochy Quays Country Club is set to make a statement in style at the Sunshine Coast over-50s lifestyle resort. As construction on the spectacular club edges closer to completion in readiness for its grand opening on Saturday, September 25, GemLife manager of interior design Jennifer Kyle believes it is sure to impress. The striking modern style of the country club is a first for GemLife, projecting a coastal cool look that mirrors the clean architectural lines of the building. “The interior design direction for the Maroochy Quays Country Club is a departure from everything GemLife has done so far,” Ms Kyle says. The country club’s interiors have been thoughtfully designed to balance

proportions and visual impact. Light and airy yet relaxed and inviting, the look and feel of the interiors are elevated with a host of stand-out style pieces. One of the hero pieces, according to Ms Kyle, is a soaring feature wall in the entrance lobby. Another of Ms Kyle’s favourite pieces is an eye-catching architectural light fixture. She has also commissioned five large original paintings from Queensland visual artist Shayle Flesser, exclusively for the country club. The luxurious, ultra-modern country club will boast stunning views. Facilities will include an indoor pool and spa, sauna, fully equipped gym, floodlit tennis court, ten-pin bowling alley, luxury cinema, bar and lounge, virtual golf and much more.

When it’s time for a joint replacement

Treating varicose veins

Neck pain: what you need to know

Patients with symptomatic hip and knee osteoarthritis will often ask me if they should have joint replacement surgery. This decision comes down to a balance of risk versus benefit. Considerations in this analysis include the severity of the pain, the impact on their quality of life, activity profile, age, other health problems, as well as having appropriate attempts to manage the problem non-operatively. If the potential risks are higher than the potential benefits, I will inform patients they are not a candidate for surgery. We will then have a long conversation about the non-operative measures they can take to improve their quality of life. When patients are candidates for joint replacement surgery, I always present the non-operative options as well as inform them about the risks and benefits of the surgery. It is never for me to tell patients when it is the right time to have elective surgery. This is an intensely personal decision with so many factors. Only the patient knows when the time is right.

Varicose veins are common. They can be unsightly and may ache. Sometimes they cause bleeding, blood clots or skin ulcers. Smaller varicose veins can be treated with a process called sclerotherapy. Larger varicose veins require ablation or surgery. Thermal ablation is a keyhole technique that heats the main superficial vein using radio frequency energy. At the same time the varicose veins are removed through tiny incisions. The technique is undertaken as a day procedure in hospital under a light general anaesthetic. Bandages, which are applied at the conclusion of the procedure, are removed the next day and compression stockings fitted. Time off normal activities is usually three days. Walking is important after treatment, and the stocking is worn for 10 days. Discomfort is minimal. The procedure has been used by many thousands of people Australia-wide as a way to treat unsightly, problematic varicose veins. For a free appointment with the practice nurse to discuss if thermal ablation is a good option for treating your veins, contact Sunshine Vascular on 5453 4322.

Neck pain is a fairly common affliction and can have many causes. And as people spend more time looking down at devices, or working at computers, it’s likely the rate of suffering from neck pain will increase. In the majority of cases, neck pain can be prevented or alleviated simply by correcting your posture. Other simple treatment options include ice packs, heat packs, over-the-counter pain medication, and massage. It’s when neck pain persists despite at-home treatments that the situation becomes more complicated and needs further attention. Additionally, if neck pain is accompanied by any numbness or weakness in your arms you should make an appointment with your GP as soon as possible. You’ll most likely be sent for an MRI to see if your pain is being caused by bulging discs or other non-muscular issues that need follow up by a specialist. If so, your doctor should then refer you to a neurosurgeon for further investigation and treatment options which may include surgery if conservative treatments don’t resolve the issue.

ONCOLOGY

The importance of breast cancer screening Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in Australia, and will affect around one in eight women in their lifetime. It accounts for more than a quarter of all cancer diagnoses in women. The majority of breast cancers, if detected early, are highly curable and have an excellent prognosis. Robust screening programs have been developed, with mammogram and ultrasound screening advised for all women between the ages of 50 and 74. Screening is effective, an essential part of women’s health checks, and saves lives. Unfortunately, when breast cancer is detected at later stages, there is a significant drop-off on survival, despite great advances in management. Self-examination also has an important part to play in early detection. If you have any concerning symptoms – new breast lump, pain, swelling or redness, changes to the nipple or nipple discharge, you should get in contact with your GP and book an examination. If you have a family history of breast cancer, talk with your GP about how this affects recommendations for screening and surveillance.

MAKING DOWNSIZING OR RIGHTSIZING WORK A retirement village isn’t for everyone so it’s important to explore all options when selling the family home. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

hoosing the size of your next home can turn out to be quite a journey, sometimes with unexpected outcomes. This writer spoke to four Coast residents who recently joined the growing number of people moving from the family home, choosing to rightsize or downsize. “Some people are using the whole COVID thing, if they aren’t travelling, to double what they are putting into a property,” says Next Property Group principal Loren Wimhurst. “There are others who want to simplify their lives. They are downsizing in style, going to another equally valued property, but with less maintenance. “I think they are enjoying being at home and being as comfortable as possible.” Claire and David Simpson are delighted with their downsizing move. They sold their four-bedroom Buderim home with its garden and pool, snapping up a twobedroom apartment near Maroochydore. “We wanted beachside, a decent view and a reasonably new building,” Mr Simpson says. These Baby Boomer lifestylers say they didn’t consider buying

Claire and David Simpson into a retirement village. “It would turn us old I think,” adds Mr Simpson. Their new home gives them easy access to their various fitness and social activities, as well as shops and restaurants. Being close to the action they say remains their top priority. Ian and Pam* tried downsizing. It wasn’t to be. Ian says he wasn’t keen about selling their waterfront Minyama home, but Pam was determined the couple downsize to a ground floor Kawana apartment, which would also accommodate their small dog. Just after they moved Ian says they experienced an anti-dog movement in the

complex. After a lot of angst over just two months, Ian and Pam listed and sold the apartment within 24 hours. The upshot of Ian and Pam’s wholly unpleasant experience is they ended up very happily rightsizing, buying a large home in Buderim with a gardenand plenty of room for the dog to play. Mountain Creek resident Kaye* was initially feeling sad when she sold her large family home but now with a ground floor apartment in Mooloolaba she couldn’t be happier. “It’s perfect,” she says. Everything she needs to enjoy her new life is close by.

“There are so many options now… You can downsize or rightsize with style” Loren Wimhurst

“There are so many options now,” Ms Wimhurst says. “Not everybody wants a monster home. You don’t have to go into a unit in among holidaymakers. You can downsize or rightsize with style.” * Surnames withheld for privacy.

SUNSHINE COAST LIGHTNING HOLDS ANNUAL AWARDS EVENING

unshine Coast Lightning celebrated a fifth successful Suncorp Super Netball season revealing the 2021 Club award recipients at the annual A Night With Lightning gala event. As recognition for another stellar season as one of the competition’s finest attacking players, Vice-Captain Steph Wood received the coveted Player of the Year award. It is the second time Wood was recognised for this award, first announced as a dual recipient with now-Captain Karla Pretorius back in 2018. Head coach Kylee Byrne praised Wood for another strong season, solidifying her reputation as a playmaker and true leader out on court. “Steph is an incredibly talented attacking player but it’s also her

influence on those around her that makes her so special,” Byrne says. “Her ability to lift her teammates and demand the best out of those around her, as well as herself, is second to none and she is very deserving of this accolade tonight.” This season the Players’ Player of the Year was awarded to Cara Koenen, demonstrating the respect she has garnered from the playing group in the past five seasons. The shooter’s popularity extended further than just her fellow athletes, with Koenen also becoming a deserving winner of the Wise Employment Members’ Player of the Year award. “What Cara has been able to achieve in recent seasons is immeasurable, so I am not surprised that she was voted by her peers for this prestigious award,” Byrne says.

“Fiercely determined and always with a smile, Cara is a great asset to our Club both on and off court and that favour obviously carries over into the community.” This year’s Downer Team Spirit Award went to newcomer Kate Shimmin, who despite only being at the club for one season has made quite an impact on and off the court. “Kate is such a quality person and we really love what she has brought to Lightning this year,” Byrne says. “She’s supportive and encouraging to everyone around her and selflessly plays her role in the team, but she also uses her voice to challenge the status quo. “She brings such passion to the team and you can see that at training, out on court and even her excitement and cheers from the sidelines during matches.”

FALCONS ANNOUNCE MAJOR COMPETITIONS FEMALE PATHWAY

After forming the first ever Falcons U19s women’s team earlier this season, the Sunshine Coast Falcons have announced a BHP Women’s Premiership Team is definitely a priority for the Club. Rather than rush into a team for 2022, the Falcons will look to form a BHP Academy that will develop a playing squad over the next 12 months and will enter their first team into the 2023 BHP Competition. The uncertainty around funding levels next season coupled with the lack of time to organise and train before the end of the registration period where both factors in the decision making process. The announcement that the NRLW isn’t going to be played until the start of 2022 has also contributed. “We will once again enter a Falcons U19s team into the 2022 Harvey Norman 19s competition and continue to build a base for the BHP women’s squad in 2023,” says Falcons CEO Chris Flannery. – Sunshine Coast Falcons

NEW STUDY TO FIND WHAT DRIVES POST-SPORT SUCCESS Olympians and Paralympians returning from Tokyo will be among more than 400 elite Australian athletes to be surveyed as part of research to find factors that both facilitate and inhibit the successful transition into post-sport careers. University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) researchers will conduct the wide-ranging study on behalf of the Australian Institute of Sport to investigate career adaptability in all stages of an athlete’s sporting life. The research team is led by business academics Dr David Fleischman and Dr Rory Mulcahy and includes USC High Performance Sport Director and head coach of the Australian Paralympic Swim myweeklypreview.com.au

77.indd 1

Team Professor Brendan Burkett. Dr Fleischman, a former competitive swimmer in the United States, says the comprehensive study will provide muchneeded further insights into how best to support athletes to overcome difficulties in adapting to new careers after retiring from high-level competitive sport. “Previous studies have mostly focused on one stage of an athlete’s career – mainly pre or post retirement – and as a result there is little understanding of how career adaptability can manifest as they progress through their sporting lives,” Dr Flieschman says. “At an elite level, there is much

emphasis on short-term performance, pressure to win and expectations from the public, all of which can have a detrimental effect on an athlete’s wellbeing and how they transition to a post-sport career. “Adjusting to life after a sporting career ends is not easy as the loss of identity and career direction can lead to stress, anxiety, depression and substance abuse.” Focus group discussions will be held with around 30 para and able-bodied athletes from various locations and across a wide range of backgrounds including those at different career stages and educational levels.

The start of the month saw Huey have a spring in his step but, we will see some wind-affected surf this weekend. Good news is, sometimes there are little nuggets to be had when conditions aren’t great. So, get on ya bike and have a good look around. Who knows what you will find. Enjoy.
