FIRST WORD

From the editor Hi everyone and welcome to this week’s edition of My Weekly Preview. We have another great lineup of stories for you this week, as well as all the latest local news, and some gorgeous fashion pages for you to pore over. In our feature story this week, we shine the spotlight on Melanoma March. Established 11 years ago to raise awareness and funds for critical melanoma research, it has developed into a national event. All funds raised go to the Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA), which has allowed scientists to develop new cutting-edge treatments that have tripled the life expectancy for advanced melanoma patients. I caught up with the CEO of the MIA

Matthew Browne to discover some of the exciting research developments and a local survivor of the insidious disease opens up about his journey and shares an important message. We also bring you the latest updates from treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who says we can expect to see petrol prices remain elevated for some time due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. With some parts of the country paying more than $2 per litre, it doesn’t look like there will be much relief at the bowsers any time soon. As we continue to see the clean-up around the state in the wake of the recent torrential rains, Federal Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien reminds Sunny Coast residents affected by the floods that there is government help available. Turn to page 18 to find all the details on what you might be entitled to and how to apply for assistance. We reflect on International Women’s Day last week, with some snaps of all the fun at the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network breakfast at Venue 114 with guest speaker Dr Jo Brown. Plus, Caitlin Zerafa introduces us to Frances Cayley, an inspirational young woman who has just joined the exciting new Turbine Precinct, an Australia-first hub

based on the Sunny Coast for food and beverage manufacturers. It’s also time to get your green on as we celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day this week! As an Irish expat, it’s always an excuse for me to sing a few Irish tunes and enjoy a glass of green bubbles or two with family and friends. So, until next week, enjoy the read and may the luck of the Irish be with you! Slainte (cheers!).

AGENDA

Future holds more pain at

the pump

reasurer Josh Frydenberg has warned petrol prices will remain elevated for some time as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but has declined to say whether he is prepared to cut fuel excise to help households. Some parts of the country are already paying record levels of more than $2 a litre at the bowser, with the price destined to go even higher following a spike in world oil prices to around $US130 a barrel. “It is the expectation that oil prices will remain elevated for some time as tensions remain across Europe,” Mr Frydenberg told the ABC last week. There is speculation the government will be forced to cut fuel excise of 44 cents a litre to help keep cost of living pressures down in the run-up to the May election. But Mr Frydenberg was not going to get into the “rule-in, rule-out game” just a few weeks out from the March 29 budget.

Petrol prices in Australia have hit record levels, and due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, there is no light at the end of the tunnel for Australian motorists. WORDS: AAP. “That money goes to transport infrastructure and that is important in all our cities and all our regional towns,” the treasurer said. Reserve Bank of Australia governor Philip Lowe has warned inflation could hit at least four per cent this year due to rising global oil and commodity prices as a result of the war in Ukraine, and rising food prices locally due to the floods on Australia’s east coast. But he is yet to be convinced these price pressures will remain and believes “sustainable inflation” can only be assured if wage growth accelerates to three per cent. Current wage growth at 2.3 per cent, as measured by the wage price index, is still only where it was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. “There are certainly pay rises that are much larger than three per cent taking place for some jobs, but the evidence is that most working Australians are still experiencing base wage increases of no more than two-

point-something per cent,” the governor told a business conference last week. Even so, Dr Lowe believed a rise in the cash rate from its record low 0.1 per cent was plausible later this year, which would be the first increase in more than a decade. He conceded there were risks to the economy by delaying a rise in interest rates at a time when inflation is accelerating. But he said there was also a risk of moving too early. “Australia has the opportunity to secure a lower rate of unemployment than has been the case for some decades,” Dr Lowe said at the conference. “Moving too early could put this at risk.” The RBA and Treasury are forecasting the unemployment rate to fall below four per cent later this year and remain there in 2023, at a level not seen in almost half a century. “If we reach this milestone, it would

“Oil prices will remain elevated for some time as tensions remain across Europe” Treasurer Josh Frydenberg

be a significant achievement,” Dr Lowe said. The jobless rate sits at a 13-year low of 4.2 per cent. The Australian Bureau of Statistics will release its latest payroll jobs report on Thursday, which may give some clues as to what progress is being made on the RBA’s aim. It comes ahead of the full labour force figures for February next week. The payroll jobs report will cover the fortnight to February 12. Economists’ predictions for the first rate rise from 0.1 per cent to 0.25 per cent largely range from the June RBA board meeting and the one in August, with key markers being the next two quarterly inflation reports on April 27 and July 27. – AAP

FAST FACTS

Unclear Origins

Do you remember?

Did you know? More than 80,000 people show up for the Saint Patrick’s Day parade and family day in Sydney, the only event in the world outside Ireland to be organised and funded with support from the Irish government. On the other side of the country, Perth commits for the whole week, with a host of races, competitions, children’s activities and a massive parade as the finale.

Not long after Internet Explorer’s 1995 debut, it was hard to imagine going online without it — the browser was almost synonymous with surfing the web. Introduced by Microsoft as part of Windows 95, Explorer was dominant for much of the next decade, but then started losing steam to rivals. Microsoft released a more sophisticated browser, Edge, in 2015, but refused to kill Explorer until recently.

By the numbers – Saint Patrick’s Day No one knows where Saint Patrick was born. It’s a widely accepted fact that Saint Patrick was not an Irish native and was probably from Wales, but his specific birthplace is unclear. In his own works he says he’s from a place called Bannavem Taburniae, but this location is otherwise unknown.

FEATURE STORY

BY THE NUMBERS • It is expected that 16,800 Australians will be diagnosed with melanoma this year. • One Australian is diagnosed with melanoma every 30 minutes. • It is estimated 1300 Australians will die from melanoma this year. • One Australian dies from melanoma every six hours. • Melanoma is the third most common cancer in Australia. • Melanoma is the most common cancer for Australians aged 20 to 39. • Melanoma is the second-most common cancer in Australian men, after prostate cancer.

Big crowds turned up for the Sunshine Coast Melanoma March earlier this month

Making sense of melanoma Melanoma is a deadly disease that disproportionately affects Australians. But organisations such as the Melanoma Institute Australia are working hard to treat the disease, educate the community and fund research so no one will die from it in the future. WORDS: Ingrid Nelson.

e live in a country with the highest melanoma rates in the world. One Australian is diagnosed with the deadly form of skin cancer every 30 minutes and 1300 Aussies will die each year from it. Melanoma is particularly dangerous because it develops in the skin’s pigment cells, known as melanocytes, and can spread via the blood and lymphatic system to organs like the lungs, liver and brain. The good news is, if caught early, 90 per cent of melanomas can be cured by surgery and with new advances in treatment and technology, the five-year overall survival rate for advanced melanoma has increased from less than 10 per cent to greater than 50 per cent in the last decade. According to the Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA), in 2011, melanoma was Australia’s seventh most deadly cancer. In 2021, melanoma was Australia’s eleventh most deadly cancer. Recent advances in treatment pioneered by MIA clinicians and researchers have tripled the life expectancy for advanced melanoma patients, proving the research is working. In fact, MIA’s ultimate goal is zero deaths from melanoma by the end of the decade. It is a goal MIA CEO Matthew Browne says is well within reach, thanks to major annual fundraising campaigns such as Melanoma March, which brings together

“Research is where we need to be to solve this disease” MIA CEO Matthew Browne melanoma patients, their families and communities to raise awareness and funds for research. “The event started 11 years ago in Manly as a simple march to walk in unison as a community to raise awareness and ultimately fundraise for a national research project that would benefit all of us,” Mr Browne says. “It built from there to the point where this year we have 17 marches across Australia and prior to COVID we

had 24. All of the money raised goes to MIA for research. “We are delighted we are able to return to physical events this year and we will build it back up again over the next few years. We have had a big response, which suggests people are very supportive of the work MIA does. They realise research is ultimately where we need to be to solve this disease.” This year, Melanoma March is aiming to raise $1 million for a world-first clinical trial of a Personalised Immunotherapy Platform, which could transform cancer treatment across the globe and ultimately save many thousands of lives. Currently, 50 per cent of advanced melanoma patients don’t respond to or develop resistance to the immunotherapy treatment. The clinical trial is to test a Personalised Immunotherapy Platform designed to ensure these patients get effective treatment the first time, based on their own genetics and tumour biology. “Immunotherapy is a combination of therapies and drugs that support and promote the body’s own immune system to fight the disease,” Mr Browne says. “It trains the immune system to fight the disease with a longer-term solution. “Advanced melanomas that spread throughout the body would have been a death sentence 10 years ago. Patients might have been given six months to live

• Melanoma is the third-most common cancer in Australian women, after breast and colorectal cancer. • 95 per cent of melanomas are caused by overexposure to UV radiation from the sun. • If caught early, 90 per cent of melanomas can be cured by surgery. Source: aihw.gov.au

and a small percentage survived a year. These days, 50 per cent of people with advanced melanoma are disease free. It all starts with clinical trials and we are at the forefront of that. Ultimately these treatments such as immunotherapy are eventually approved and broadly accessible to the general public.” Just last month, with Melanoma Patients Australia, MIA launched a landmark report calling on governments to urgently provide increased action and funding to tackle the alarming incidence of melanoma in Australia. The report provides a road map to zero deaths from melanoma, including national melanoma prevention and awareness programs, better sun safety in high schools and sport, and targeted national melanoma screening program “In that report it estimated 18,000 people will die within five years of diagnosis by 2030 if we don’t do anything further. Our goal is to reduce that number substantially,” Mr Browne says. To find out more about Melanoma March or how you can help raise awareness visit melanomamarch.org.au

FEATURE STORY

Raphael McGowan

SPREADING THE MESSAGE Sunshine Coast local Raphael McGowan knows all too well the devastation of losing a loved one to melanoma. His sister Tess was just 30 years old, newly married and five months pregnant with her first child when she was diagnosed with melanoma in 2011. Sadly, just 12 months later she passed away, leaving behind her husband and daughter Mabel. In her memory, Mr McGowan started a fundraising page for the Melanoma Institute Australia to learn more

A STORY OF SURVIVAL One of five siblings, Chris Wilson grew up in southeast Queensland during the ’80s and spent his youth enjoying the great outdoors. Whether he was playing sport, fishing or surfing, he did so without a care in the world. Not surprisingly, skin cancer was the last thing on his mind. “I was a typical Aussie kid who would ride his bike around the neighbourhood during the summer months without a shirt or hat on,” Mr Wilson says. “Every school holiday we would spend hours at the beach surfing every day with maybe just a bit of zinc on our nose and lips. “Even though we were being told to slip, slop, slap back then, being 21 and bulletproof, we really didn’t take much notice. There was a certain bravado among young men and women,” he says. It wasn’t until Mr Wilson’s father was diagnosed at the age of 50 with a significant level-four melanoma that he first discovered how serious this form of skin cancer was, and more importantly, that it now put him in the high-risk category of developing a melanoma himself. “It started with Dad, then my sister, then my other sister, and in my late twenties I had my first melanoma removed from my shoulder,” he says.

about the insidious disease and share his newfound knowledge with others. This led him to develop bakslap, a device designed to help apply sunscreen and lotion to the tricky-to-reach places on our bodies. “I wanted to breath some new light into it in a positive way,” Mr McGowan says. “A good way to do that was to come up with a talking point. Backslap was by far the simplest. It’s more about the packaging and the messaging around it. It’s the core of why I created it.” Raphael has raised more than $80,000 for melanoma research over the years, hosting cycling events and fundraisers, and he is responsible for bringing the Melanoma March to the Sunshine Coast. “I helped out when I was living in Sydney and working with the MIA. It just made sense that when I moved back to the Sunny Coast, I would start the walk here because you really do need someone to drive it,” he says. This year, the Sunshine Coast March took place at Noosa earlier this month, and despite the rain, the crowds turned out to show their support.

“A big part of raising awareness about melanoma is involving community to understand the high rates we have here on the Sunshine Coast. When you have an event such as Melanoma March, people will say things like, ‘oh I’ve been impacted by melanoma’ or ‘I’ve never been for a skin check’. It’s about creating a conversation,” Mr McGowan says. “The first year we had the march, a guy said to me, ‘I went and got my first skin check because of the march.’ There are probably lots more we are not even aware of.” Passionate about continuing to raise awareness and keep his sister’s memory alive, Mr McGowan says he has no intention of stopping his crusade to raise awareness about melanoma and his message is clear. “Melanoma is highly preventable. It’s about being aware at an early age and getting your skin checked every 12 months,” he says. “Be cautious when you are outside, especially in Queensland where the UV level is always above three all year around, particularly between those danger times of 10am and 2pm. “If you are going for a surf, wear a rashie or a T-shirt. Simple precautions can save your life. We really want to avoid the worst-case scenario, which is losing a loved one.”

Between his father and three of his four siblings, they have had more than 50 melanomas removed so far. Through regular skin checks every 12 months, Mr Wilson has had several skin cancers and melanomas detected and removed. These would otherwise have taken his life. In fact, one very nearly did. “I was 39 years old at the time when my wife noticed a very small black mark at the top of my head,” he says. “I wasn’t really over-panicked about it. I was going on a fishing trip and said I would get it checked when I got back.” A few weeks later Mr Wilson was diagnosed with a nodular melanoma, a very aggressive melanoma that grows straight down into the dermis. “I was in surgery within a week and had about 38 stitches in my head,” he says. “I felt so lucky, another couple of months and it would have been a different story.” But just 12 months later he found a lump in his neck and was told the melanoma had metastasized. “The lump grew from the size of a peanut to a grape within a month,” he says. “I saw my GP and he wrote me a referral to have a biopsy. Of course, life gets busy and I put the referral on my desk and forgot about it.” It wasn’t until he saw his skin specialist a few weeks later

that he discovered the potential seriousness of the lump. “He sat me down and … said ‘you are going to walk across the road right now and you are going to get a CT scan and an biopsy, that lump could be a melanoma’.” The melanoma from his head had moved to his lymphatic system, requiring a major operation to remove the lymph nodes in his neck. “That was melanoma number two or three and I am up to 11 now. Regular checks are what’s keeping me alive. “The scary thing is there are no symptoms. That’s why I would urge everyone to keep an eye out for family and friends. If you see a mole that looks a bit odd, particularly in places they can’t see such as the top of the head or back, let them know; tell them to get checked.” These days he is passionate about spreading the message that just because you stay out of the sun doesn’t mean you are not high risk. “If you have it in your family, you can get melanoma where the sun doesn’t shine,” he says. “My mum has seen more sun than I ever have, and she has never had a melanoma. If someone in your family has had melanoma, you should be getting regular check-ups.” *name changed to protect identity

scale, break into new markets and increase their market share.” Turbine Precinct’s stage one will focus on beverage manufacturing. While working with and supporting start-ups and small businesses, this export-ready complex will also attract global beverage brands that see the facility and its location as a gateway to international markets. Turbine director and Food and Agribusiness Network (FAN) CEO Emma Greenhatch says the work FAN has already done for regional manufacturers will be amped up. “Over the past six years, FAN has created a unique, collaborative ecosystem to support the growth of the food and agribusiness industry across the greater Sunshine Coast region,” she says. “Turbine will take this to the next level, providing advanced manufacturing capability, critical services and education and training to turbocharge industry growth. “Turbine is a project that started on the premise that collaboration is the key to future success and with a vision to create a blueprint for the future of Australian food and beverage manufacturing. The Turbine Precinct will be a place where industry,

bold leader will bring a vision to life for Australia’s first purposebuilt food and beverage manufacturing and education hub, to be based at Sunshine Coast Airport. Frances Cayley has been appointed project director of multimillion-dollar project Turbine Precinct, which aims to help local food and beverage businesses scale up and develop the capability to expand into larger markets nationally and internationally. On the back of the recent success in securing federal government funding of $8.78 million, Turbine will create the space where collaboration can flourish and innovation will drive new products and ideas. “Turbine presents an opportunity to establish an important asset that will contribute significantly to the Sunshine Coast’s future,” Ms Cayley says. “This precinct will shine a light on the importance of manufacturing in the food and beverage sector and will offer so many opportunities to those smaller businesses who really need the support to help them

research, government and education and training providers collectively unlock growth and drive innovation, and Turbine’s board are delighted that Frances will be leading the project. “Frances’s values parallel those of Turbine and this, coupled with her skills in property and her ability to engage with key stakeholders, made her the ideal person for the role.” The precinct is due to start operations in late 2023. When complete, it will house manufacturing services, a research and development facility, warehousing and logistics, an expertise hub and an industry-specific training facility. Visit the turbine.org.au

About Frances Cayley Ms Cayley has previously held the position of Sunshine Coast Council head of property, with a $1 billion portfolio that included the new City Hall where she was the project director. With more than 20 years’ experience in senior roles in the property industry, she has worked across the private sector and local government.

Having already won gold on a state level at the Queensland Tourism Awards, these local operators are doing the region proud as they compete in the Tourism Retail & Hire Service, and Hosted Accommodation award categories. Queensland Tourism Industry Council chief executive and Australian Tourism Awards chair Daniel Gschwind says the Sunshine Coast is a perfect example of the outstanding quality and professionalism of Queensland operators. “The national awards provide us with an opportunity to celebrate the amazing people behind the tourism businesses who provide so much to not only the economy, but to our regions and local communities.” More than 700 tourism operators and guests will gather at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre for the event.

ENDING PERIOD POVERTY ONE DONATION AT A TIME

Tuesday, March 8 marked International Women’s Day. A time when around the world we pause to celebrate the triumphs and successes and reflect on the difficulties and modern-day gender inequality that still exists. This year, the theme is #BreakTheBias, which aims to create a gender equal world free from bias, stereotypes and discrimination. Helping put words into action is the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network, who hosted its annual and highly popular International Women’s Day breakfast at Venue 114. Sharing empowering messages of building bridges, making an impact and going to the next level was guest speaker and high-performance physiotherapist Dr Jo Brown. Over the past two decades Dr Brown has worked with some of the world’s top athletes, including the Jamaican bobsleigh team, and been an integral part of thousands of performance moments, working closely with sports stars at an international and elite level. Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network president Min Swan says it was inspiring to hear from Dr Brown, who is leading the way for more women to get involved in the medical field, specifically in high-performance sport science. “Dr Brown has forged an impressive career since she qualified as a physiotherapist in 2000 and has now assisted a range of teams across the globe, in both summer and winter sports,” Ms Swan says. “She has learnt lessons from each experience over that time and

INSPIRING WOMAN SHARES HER STORY

SCBWN president Min Swan and Dr Jo Brown applies that knowledge when faced with new challenges. “She is extremely passionate, hardworking and tenacious and it was an honour to hear her story and gain some wisdom.” The Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network is passionate about helping create a gender equal world, where difference is accepted, valued and celebrated. “This year, the network is also putting a big focus on women’s empowerment, and everything we do is all about how each of us can not only be the best version of ourselves but how we can also encourage and lift up others,” Ms Swan says. “It was a privilege to be surrounded by so many passionate business women today who hold these same values and are creating amazing change on the Sunshine Coast.”

This March a significant fundraising drive is making a world of difference to women across Australia who do not have adequate access to sanitary items. Share the Dignity is a Queensland charity built on the foundation that no women should go without necessary period items. It is the culmination of the dedication of Brisbane woman Rochelle Courtenay. After learning of the hardships of women facing homelessness during their cycles, she began collecting sanitary items in her community and distributing them to local shelters in March 2015. Today Share the Dignity has more than 6000 volunteers Australia wide and provides multiple initiatives aimed at ending period poverty. As part of its bi-annual campaign and to encourage Australians to consider what it might be like to experience period poverty, this year’s Dignity Drive aims to create conversations around the tough choices some people must make. “We know that when people are struggling financially, pads and tampons are often the first to be taken off the shopping list,” Ms Courtenay says. “We’ve heard so many stories of mothers who have chosen to go without so that they can buy pads for their daughter, or university students having to choose between filling up their car or buying tampons. “Menstruation is not a choice, and no one should have to choose between buying food or other essentials, and products to manage their period with dignity.” Since 2019 Woolworths has been donating five cents from the sale of every period product during the months of March and August to fund dignity

Rochelle Courtenay vending machines across the country. The machines dispense free packs of pads and tampons. Sunshine Coast residents can support the campaign by buying and then placing sanitary items in donation boxes at Woolworths stores across the region, as well as at Fernwood Noosa and Star Discount pharmacies. For more information on Share the Dignity and ending period poverty, visit sharethedignity.org.au. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

FAST FACTS • Since 2015 the Dignity Drives have collected more than 3.3 million sanitary products and donated them to women and girls in period poverty. • More than 10,000 reusable sanitary items have been donated. • The volunteer-run charity has more than 6000 passionate volunteers from across the country. • 282 Dignity vending machines have been installed across Australia, providing free period packs.

Financial help is at hand Federal Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien is reminding Sunshine Coast residents affected by the recent rains and ﬂooding that government help is available.

unding support has been activated to help communities on the east coast of Australia that were severely affected by the recent flooding disaster. The Sunshine Coast was one of the first places to be inundated by the heavy rainfall and flash flooding, which tragically claimed the lives of 19 people in Queensland and wreaked havoc across the coast and hinterland. Federal Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien has been visiting local residents and businesses to assure impacted locals that help is available. “The floods hit hard and people are

Ted O’Brien visits local residents hurting,” Mr O’Brien says. “Lives have been lost, properties damaged and businesses disrupted. “That’s why the federal government immediately sprung into action and activated a number of disaster recovery grants to provide relief for impacted individuals, businesses and community groups.” Funding from the federal government includes the Disaster Recovery Payment, a lump sum of $1000 for eligible adults and $400 for eligible children, as well as the Disaster Recovery Allowance, which provides up to 13 weeks of support at the current JobSeeker rate. A $558.5 million support package has

also been negotiated between the federal and state governments to help Queensland small businesses, farmers, not-for-profit organisations, and sporting and community clubs. Through this jointly funded package, demand-driven grants of up to $75,000 for primary producers, up to $50,000 for affected small businesses and not-forprofit organisations, and $20,000 for sporting and community clubs and associations are available to help floodaffected communities get back on their feet. A further $1 million has also been provided to numerous councils to provide immediate relief to fund clean-up and

recovery activities – including the Sunshine Coast Council. To enable affected residents to easily navigate support payments, Mr O’Brien has created a consolidated list of all available funding support and information. “Despite the extraordinary resilience and humility of those impacted, people need help and they need to know where to go to get it. “That’s why I created a comprehensive list of government support and information, to simplify the support process for locals. “I urge everyone who has been impacted, or knows someone who has, to please head to my website tedobrien.com.au and click ‘flood assistance’.” As of March 9, more than $480 million in Disaster Recovery Payment and Disaster Recovery Allowance have been paid for 414,000 claims. Eligibility criteria applies and different grants will be open for different time periods. This information is all on Mr O’Brien’s website.

WOMEN SHARE A LOVE OF THE SHED A group of locals say sheds are just as important for women’s health and wellbeing as they are for men. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

group of women in Coolum are bucking the trend and proving sheds are for women too, with the launch of the inaugural National Women’s Shed Week. Coinciding with International Women’s Day on March 8, the week ran from March 6 to 12, putting sheds in the spotlight. A common and vital space for men, now women’s sheds are beginning to pop up across the country, providing a place of friendship, health and wellbeing. Members are of all ages at all life stages, and activities range from drawing workshops and social meetings to yoga classes and resistance training circuits.

Coolum Women’s Shed president Nell Harvey says she is proud to be bringing Australian women’s sheds closer together through the annual event. “Women’s sheds are all about improving the health and wellbeing of members through building connections, reducing isolation and encouraging the development of new skills,” Ms Harvey says. “Our members understand the value of being involved with the women’s shed first-hand and so we want to support other women in Australia to do the same.” “We are now speaking with over 30 sheds across Australia who have registered their sheds with us.”

Federal Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien recently announced the inaugural Women’s Shed Week in the Australian Parliament on behalf of the Coolum Women’s Shed. Announcing $11,350 of federal grants for the Coolum Women’s Shed, Mr O’Brien is also spearheading tax reform that is enabling tax deductibility for all men’s and women’s sheds across the country. “I’m a massive advocate for men’s and women’s sheds across Australia because I have seen the positive impact these organisations have on people’s mental and physical wellbeing,” he says. “Now, thanks to the members of the Coolum Women’s Shed, it’s the women’s sheds that are on the national agenda. “I congratulate the Coolum Women’s Shed for its leadership in supporting the development of women’s sheds across the country. It’s no coincidence that the inaugural National Women’s Shed Week coincides with International Women’s Day and Queensland Women’s Week, with the shared aim of progressing the importance of equality for women.” This year’s themes are #SHEddies and #OurTimeOurSpace, which speak to the importance of a dedicated space for women to participate in meaningful activities and build connections. Across Australia there are 300 members in 20 existing women’s sheds, and 20 sheds in the process of starting. Currently the Coolum Women’s Shed does not have its own building, instead hiring the Coolum Men’s Shed community centre for some activities. “We are working towards having our own space and building an inventory of shared equipment,” Ms Harvey says. “This offers women a chance to try a variety of activities without needing to fund or store materials and equipment.” Visit thewomensshed.org.

CASH PAID FOR GOLD

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE Almost 100 hectares have been set aside for future sport and recreation at Bli Bli. The 97 hectares at Godfreys Avenue, Bli Bli, have been purchased by Sunshine Coast Council and will provide added opportunities to the existing network of council-owned and managed sport and recreation spaces. Division nine councillor Maria Suarez says the properties, located just north of the Maroochy River, will help the council maintain the rate of four hectares of sport and recreation land per 1000 residents. “It will also ensure public open space is distributed equitably throughout the Sunshine Coast local government area so everyone has access,” she says. “Sport and recreation spaces are fundamental to our region’s future and this purchase demonstrates council’s commitment to proactively plan and deliver long-term projects, which protect our region’s environment and liveability, and provide the active, healthy lifestyle we all value.” Cr Suarez says it will be several years before residents will see facilities coming out of the ground, with a great deal of planning still to be done before the project officially commences.

Lisa Rowe, Wishlist CEO

WHY GIVING IS IMPORTANT ON ANNUAL WISHLIST DAY A young man called Danny stayed at Reed House before Christmas, to access six weeks of cancer treatment at SCUH. He’d had a rough time with the loss of his mum and some financial struggles. A cancer diagnosis was the last thing he needed. Danny’s stay was funded entirely by donations from the Rotary clubs of Nambour and Caloundra Pacific. The dedicated volunteer team at Reed House took him under their wing, applying their care to ensure he was comfortable. Danny set off for home just before Christmas, leaving a card for the volunteers and promising to return the next week to continue his treatment. The card read: “I can’t thank you enough for the help I have received from you all lately. Thank you for allowing me to

stay here, at this very special place of healing. Thank you for the laughs, the smiles and for filling me full of courage every day. Making my journey so much easier, cleaner, happier. Thank you for driving me to and from the hospital all the time, making my treatment so much easier.” Sadly, Danny passed away not long after going home. The affordable accommodation offered at Reed House and Wishlist House, and from later this year at Wishlist Centre, is more than a bed at a time of need. It’s a port in a storm, a major stress eased and a hand to hold to help get you through the toughest time of your life. It just would not be there for the likes of Danny if it weren’t for the generosity of strangers. Wishlist directs more than $1 million in donations each year to medical equipment, therapy services, affordable accommodation, research, staff education and wellbeing initiatives, all aimed at lightening the load for local families. After Wishlist Giving Day last year we placed orders for more than $400,000 worth of equipment and services for local hospitals. We plan to tick a lot off our wish list following this year’s Wishlist Giving Day on March 24. Visit our website to see our wish list and make a donation – to be doubled by our corporate matched givers.

Cr Christian Dickson Division six Have you seen the new pathway on Mountain Creek Road? Works are now finished on a 365-metre stretch of pathway, which completes a missing link on the north side of Mountain Creek Road from number 70 to the existing pathway at number 34. This means the entire length of Mountain Creek Road now has an adjoining pathway, which is great news for the community.

Let there be light in Chancellor Village Park Thank you to everyone who sent requests for better lighting along the footpath area between Chancellor Village and Lakehead Drive. I’m really pleased to report that LED lights will soon be installed in Chancellor Village Park to improve visibility and safety in this area. The pathway through this park is an important thoroughfare for many people

Mountain Creek Road’s new pathway in the area and particularly residents from the Hibiscus and Bellflower villages. Nine posts will be installed in the park with LED lights, which are programmed to turn on automatically at sunset and off at 10pm. The new lights will have a low glare and low ‘spillage’ to ensure that adjoining homes aren’t impacted. The new lights are scheduled to be installed in the second half of 2022. I’ll keep you updated closer to when works begin.

MY OPINION

A NEW DIMENSION

NOT SO FINGER LICKIN’ GOOD

As screens dominate our lives, Jane Stephens is concerned we’re losing the ability to maintain proper human relationships.

oncern is growing that our ability to interact in person is dying, with the pandemic creating crevices of the digitally created

cracks. Evidence is building that we have never been more digitally available, but we are also lonelier and less connected. Speaking face-to-face is direct, engaging and intimate, and maybe that’s why it makes many people uncomfortable. We can order virtually anything online and get it without having to have an exchange with a real person. Talking through a screen allows for filter and lighting adjustment to ensure the projection of a false perfection. But screens are two dimensional – a partial truth. In her bestseller Reclaiming Conversation, science and technology professor Sherry Turkle found our creativity and capacity to empathise started to slide when we began to speak through machines. Now, she writes, we increasingly speak to them. Talking to others online just isn’t the same as in person. While interacting in 3D might make us feel exposed, it also brings rich rewards. You are never more human

than when you stand with another, look each other in the eye and talk. You can read their body language and hear their tone of voice. And they can see and hear you. The wheels of our society are greased by our human-ness, not just our information. We used to share inside knowledge by word of mouth. Inside jokes were delivered with a wink and a nod. We arch our eyebrows at something surprising and grit our teeth when something requires gumption. Our faces are what we should present to the world – and the unfiltered, full-colour and in-person version has a whole new level of real. Face-to-face conversation is what we communication researchers call ‘data rich’. Even now, we use it when a matter is serious, such as telling someone of their promotion or a death in their family. In-person, 3D conversation draws on facial expressions, requires making mental images, calling up memories and mining conversational creativity. We can tell a lot about the other. There is surely no more powerful form of communicating than face-to-face, eye-to-eye, heart-to-heart. A full life requires living in 3D.

Things are going from bad to worse for Ashley Robinson, whose encounter with KFC didn’t go according to plan.

nd the band played on. Well, not exactly a band, more like a tale of woe continued to grow. Recovering from COVID, tick. Next cab off the rank is a scan for some neck issues I have had for many years. I had to go for a scan at Caloundra with the wonderful crew at X-ray & Imaging, which I had been putting off for a couple of weeks. A, because I had been recovering from COVID and B, I don’t really like getting scans or putting my head in anything smaller than a hula hoop. Now I might mention that sticking my head in a scrum for about 20 years caused the problems, which actually means I am a slow learner, but these days I’m not keen to stick my head into anything. At this stage I should probably mention I am claustrophobic. Now the nice lady told me how long it would take and what would happen, which is helpful as I usually try and count things or take my mind off what is happening by dreaming about something nice. Did I mention that Kentucky Fried was two doors up and I could smell the Colonel from where I was lying? I haven’t had

chook from there for years so I dreamt about a visit directly after the scan if I survived. So I was counting chicken pieces as the machine whizzed around my melon and I survived. As promised to myself, I raced next door and was puzzled about what to order as things had changed since my last visit. A Zinger Bowl looked good so I ordered what I thought was a bowl but got a box. I must have mumbled. Four bits of spicy chicken, chips, gravy and a burger – awesome. I inhaled the pieces first and then took a massive bite of the burger. I had no idea what was in it. Something caught in my throat, I started gagging, thinking it’s a chicken bone and immediately thinking that I survived the scan only to be taken out by the Colonel with an errant chicken bone. Eventually I go with swallowing as I couldn’t hack it up, thinking about how that was going to hurt coming out the other end but then realised it was a corn chip. It’s the Zinger Bowl basically in a bun? Finger lickin’ good may be the resurrected slogan but I want to know what genius decided to put corn chips in a burger. The Colonel would be appalled.

BURDENSOME BABY NAMES A list is doing the rounds that has Sami Muirhead in a spin and questioning the choices of some parents.

hat’s in a name, they ask? Well, a whole lot of stupidity is reflected in the annual Bogan Baby Name list. There are so many shocking ones that are real names, I do not even know where to begin. So, let’s start at the bottom of the barrel: Miraccle: Yes, that is the way parents are spelling this so-called new-age name. Double C and zero taste. It will be a miracle if this poor soul grows up without a zillion issues thanks to the schoolyard bullying over her name. Salmon: Queue the obligatory fish puns. Starting now! I am so angry I could krill someone! If the parents thought they were being funny, they should have called their daughter Nemo: that’s a clown fish. Please can we leave this name to salmon else! It is on the nose and is more than plain fishy. If Mum and Dad think this name is ‘sofishticated’ they need to scale back on the trippy hippy monikers. If you can think of a better fish pun, drop me a line. Resilia: Apparently this one is based on the fact that kids had to be resilient in the pandemic. Well, I had to drink a lot of chardonnay during the pandemic, but

I am not calling my kid Chardy am I? Resilia makes me want to give up. Juul: This name beggers belief. It is not a kooky spin on the name of Jewel, that sad sack but glorious singer from the noughties. Remember her most famous song, Hands? This name is in fact the brand of a vape, which is a horrid electric cigarette that is harming millions of people. This name Juul is not one in anyone’s crown. Full stop. Brave: Well, you would have to be to name your kid this adjective. I mean sure it is easy to say and easy to remember but that is not always a good thing in life. Any child named Brave is going to need to know how to fight. Roar: I actually don’t hate this name and I think it must be the best on the bogan baby name list. It does admittedly remind me of Katy Perry’s song and now you will not be able to get the tune out of your head either. You’re going hear me roarrrrr. Ledgen: Yep, the D is indeed in the wrong place in this diabolical deed. There is nothing more to write. D equals a fail. So, there you have the bottom of the barrel when it comes to bogan baby names. My friend is having twins and he is threatening to call them Benson and Hedges. I hope he is joking.

The financial fall-out from all this rain Once again, Australia’s east coast has been swamped by a major low-pressure system. The human and financial havoc has been enormous. Worryingly, the system has been slow to disperse, delaying the clean-up. To date, 60,000 insurance claims have been lodged, which the Insurance Council of Australia said could trigger $900 million in payouts. Ratings agency S&P estimated the event would cost at least $1 billion and could swell to $2 billion depending on the damage in Greater Sydney. The 2011 Brisbane flood cost almost $2.1 billion, while the 1974 floods cost $3.2 billion (both in today’s dollars). As insurance claims pile up, it’s not surprising the share prices of the two major domestic insurers, IAG and Suncorp, have fallen a great deal. However, both insurers operate reinsurance programs to hedge the financial impact of major catastrophes, including these floods. Suncorp says its reinsurance program limits its maximum event retention (MER) for the event at $75 million. That is, Suncorp will face a total loss from the event of $75 million, thanks to recoveries from its reinsurers covering the balance of costs. IAG’s MER was $95 million for this event. Overall, there are two things to consider. Firstly, while both insurers retain

reinsurance for future catastrophes, any major events in the near to medium term would reduce their risk mitigation strategies and leave them susceptible to carrying more of the repair bill. Secondly, insurance premiums will increase. The greatest effect will be on low-income households. It is also worth considering the longer-term effects of major weather patterns on insurance. The low pressure system is typical during a La Nina weather pattern, but it feeds into the debate about the influence of a warming climate. Once the waters recede, the unenviable task of cleaning and then rebuilding will begin. This will lead to a surge in demand for building materials, household durable goods and replacement motor vehicles. This demand will come at an extraordinary time when supply chains for all these goods are already under tremendous strain from the COVID pandemic. Flooding has also affected the supply chains of grocery retailers, reducing stock availability. Households are already facing mounting cost pressures, which will crowd out discretionary spending and drive some to buy items at lower price points. The spike in fuel prices has added to rising grocery inflation and potential mortgage rate increases as headwinds this year. Fuel prices are an interesting phenomenon. Unlike RBA rate rises, a higher petrol price impacts virtually every household, not just the one-third of households that have mortgages.

Garden maintenance for small blocks:

plus

• Research what is being grown in the area, particularly if you have moved from other regions or larger properties. • Source plants that can be hedged or trimmed to fit the block. • Build the soil with organic matter and fertiliser, making sure the soil does not pack down and absorb water. • Control pests by cutting the areas damaged by insects instead of using pesticides. • Use a compost worm farm to use up kitchen scraps and grow herbs in pots.

Gardening guru Barbara Wickes has planted roots at B by Halcyon

SOWING THE SEEDS FOR NEW GROWTH

s an avid gardener with more than 40 years’ experience designing and displaying cottage gardens, Barb Wickes was excited to create a masterpiece at her new home at B by Halcyon. For 23 years, Mrs Wickes and her husband Rex created and tended to a

stunning garden in Buderim, which was complete with a Monet-inspired bridge and water lily-covered lake, and was featured on the ABC’s Gardening Australia TV program in 2016. The duo sold their Mediterraneanstyle home and moved into B by Halcyon in January 2021, downsizing from their

7500-square metre subtropical garden oasis to a 500-square metre plot. “I am enjoying the maintenance of a small garden, which is much more manageable and is pretty to look at from all areas,” Mrs Wickes explains. “I’m finding my time spent in the garden is more productive as I can keep an eye on the plants, prune as needed and move plants around to fit the space.” Her tranquil back garden contains a considered selection of polyantha and Australian roses, salvias, camellia and hydrangea bushes, shrubs with burgundy

foliage and perennial varieties such as agapanthus, asters, daylilies, dwarf grasses and begonias, to name a few. One of the first Australian gardeners to champion herbs, Mrs Wickes is also passionate about growing edibles in her garden. “I like to go out to my garden and pick a salad, adding colour and various tastes from subtropical vegetables and herbs,” she says. In 2000 Mrs Wickes co-founded The Perennial Poppies Group, which has members from around southeast Queensland, and she is keen to establish a gardening club at B by Halcyon. “I’m looking forward to getting involved in the new community plot when we have access to the site, which will expand to include rose and food gardens,” she says. “Sharing is important too, and I hope this is what the gardening club will do. I’m very happy to share cuttings from my garden and interest others to grow plants. It’s nice to be able to pick a posy of flowers from your garden for your neighbour. “I was a rather reluctant mover initially, but once we arrived at B by Halcyon, I’ve realised it was the best thing we could have ever done,” Mrs Wickes adds.

Kim and Rhonda Mihaly downsized their home to upgrade their lifestyle at GemLife Palmwoods over-50s lifestyle resort

COUPLE SWAP LARGE HOME FOR A BETTER LIFESTYLE Rhonda and Kim Mihaly cannot wait to get into their new home at GemLife Palmwoods over-50s lifestyle resort later this year, and the fact they had to downsize to do it was the furthest thing from their mind. “We had to downsize but it was to upgrade into a beautiful new home and vibrant community where we can make new friends and experience life at its very best,” an excited Mrs Mihaly says.

Once the couple had decided to move to the Sunshine Coast to be closer to their son, his wife and their three young children, they set about the process of making it happen. Unlike some couples who cringe at the thought of downsizing, the Mihalys were ready to do whatever it took to make the move into their dream home at GemLife Palmwoods. “It really wasn’t a big issue for us

because we were ready to return to Queensland no matter what and getting rid of the need to do consistent maintenance and upkeep of a big home, we looked at as a blessing,” Mrs Mihaly says. “Kim made sure the first things to go were the lawn mower and gardening tools!” The Mihalys are no strangers to the sunshine state. “We lived in Brisbane for 25 years but moved to Budgewoi on the Central Coast of New South Wales after one of our two sons died. Our other son stayed on the Sunshine Coast,” Mrs Mihaly says. She says the house at Budgewoi was bigger than needed with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a big rumpus room and a good-sized yard backing onto an oval. “Ours was an old house and was at a stage where it needed constant work done. When we decided to sell up and move to Queensland, we added a new roof and solar panels, which must have done the trick because it sold in two days for $20,000 more than we thought we would get.” She says the worst thing about downsizing is getting rid of things that are no longer needed. The fact that the couple would be new to the area and faced with the prospect of making new

Maintenance-free, quality GemLife homes were a big drawcard for Rhonda and Kim Mihaly friends once again was the catalyst for buying at GemLife Palmwoods over-50s lifestyle resort. “We wanted somewhere that had a community spirit, was close to nature and yet only half an hour from the beach, which we both love. Palmwoods was perfect. It is also just 20 minutes from our son and his family.”

Other resorts on the Sunshine Coast include GemLife Maroochy Quays and GemLife Pacific Paradise. All offer premium recreational facilities and beautifully designed, low maintenance homes, created exclusively for the over-50s. Call 1800 317 393 or visit gemlife.com.au to find out more.

MODERN HEARING AIDS The average person retiring these days is very tech savvy. Most will use smart phones and will commonly communicate with distant family and friends using laptops and tablets. A hearing loss can complicate these lines of communication. Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids mean a direct and carefully tuned connection to all your devices. The convenience of having a phone conversation streamed to both your ears without the need to get your smart phone out of your pocket can be a significant improvement in communication. People who adopt this technology greatly improve their quality of communication. For busy people, the convenience is amazing. Smart devices like televisions can stream directly to your hearing aids – no more missing the punch line or having to constantly ask “what did he say?”. The good news is this technology is not confined to the most expensive hearing aids; it’s available from some of the entry-level devices and if you are a pensioner is available in the free hearing aids. If you get told you need to pay for these types of extras, you need to get a second opinion. It always pays to see an independent

Recovery after an anterior total hip replacement

Do you get enough daily movement?

Clinical trials available on the Sunshine Coast

Many patients are surprised at how quickly they can comfortably ambulate after an anterior total hip replacement. We typically mobilise patients within hours of their surgery. Most of our patients usually rapidly progress to being independent on crutches and require them for only one to two weeks. There are many factors that dictate how long a patient needs to stay in hospital but generally getting back to your home environment as soon as it is safe to do so is an important component of your physical as well as your psychological recovery. Excessive physical activity in the first two months after a hip replacement is counterproductive. We generally recommend gentle walking and stretching. Many patients are safe to drive after just three to four weeks and can perform most of their everyday activities within six weeks. For patients who enjoy more extreme activities such as surfing, they should wait at least three months to return. All patients are different, and you should discuss your specific situation with your orthopaedic surgeon.

There are countless benefits to movement, from improving your mood to preventing disease. It’s actually one of the best things you can do for your health but not everyone incorporates enough movement into their day. Regular movement improves mental and physical health, increases productivity, and reduces stress. You can also reduce your risk of obesity, heart disease, and stroke by keeping active and moving more. Consider introducing daily movement gradually if you are usually sedentary, but keep in mind that even a modest increase in physical activity can have considerable health benefits. Finding ways to include movement in your day without feeling overwhelmed is crucial. Perhaps you could take a quick walk after work or do some light stretching before bed. The effort it takes to get moving on a regular basis is worth it in the long run. Movement is one of the easiest and most effective things you can do for your health, but consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program if you have pre-existing medical conditions.

The Sunshine Coast Haematology & Oncology Clinic (SCHOC) offers a number of clinical trials to residents of the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas, in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC).

Get tested for glaucoma today Glaucoma acts by stealth, developing slowly and often without symptoms. If it’s left undetected, it can cause vision loss and even blindness. The bad news is it’s not reversible. The good news is that if glaucoma is detected early and treated, your sight can be saved. You may be at a heightened risk of glaucoma if you have a family history of the condition, high eye pressure, are of African or Asian descent, have diabetes, are short or long sighted, have been on a prolonged course of steroid medication, experience migraines, have had an eye operation or eye injury, have high or low blood pressure or experience obstructive sleep apnoea. Glaucoma Australia says there is a 10 times greater chance of developing glaucoma if a direct relative has been diagnosed with this condition. If you are diagnosed with glaucoma, you should tell your closest family members. The loss of sight due to glaucoma is usually gradual and a considerable amount of peripheral or side vision may be lost before there is an awareness of any problem. Glaucoma Australia says about 50 per cent of people don’t even know they have glaucoma. As a good health management rule it’s wise to get your eyes fully tested by an optometrist every two years. If diagnosed with glaucoma, the most common form of treatment is eye drops. Laser and surgery are also used. It’s vital you follow your treatment plan and attend follow-up appointments. Glaucoma is a life-long and often progressive condition, but appropriate treatment can prevent vision loss. If your optometrist has flagged you may have a glaucoma problem in the future then put a reminder in your diary to keep on top of your checks, as early detection may just save your vision.

A child, teenager or close friend could unsettle you by making a surprise move. So be prepared with a few fast moves of your own! Is your love-life stuck on autopilot? Mars and Uranus push you to look at things from a fresh angle.

Do your best to be sensitive to the needs of others this week. Mars and Uranus stir up relationship insecurities on Tuesday and Wednesday. Keep your Scorpio cool during difficult conversations and steer the subject to safer ground.

You’re fired up about making something big happen ASAP, but the planets caution you about taking shortcuts and relying on others. Don’t expect influential people to drop everything and hand you your dream. There is no substitute for hard work.

With Venus, Mars and Saturn transiting through your money zone, financial matters are about to improve. Monday and Saturday are particularly auspicious days to brainstorm creative, proactive ways to save money and boost cashflow.

Expect a rollercoaster ride! Impulsive Mars is at odds with unpredictable Uranus, and you could be headed for an argument or an accident. Your motto is from avant-garde Aquarian artist Yoko Ono: ‘You can be very wild and still be very wise.’

With three planets visiting your sign, you’re the quintessential Piscean – compassionate, imaginative and inspirational. But you’re also inclined to passivity and procrastination! Be a fearless fish: swim into unchartered waters and embrace adventure.

STORMS LEAVE LONG-TERM MARK ON COAST The fallout from recent rains is adding pressure to a market already dealing with rising building costs and a rental shortage. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone.

hile the Sunshine Coast has come out the other end of the recent extraordinary storms in a better position than regions north and south of it, its property market will be dealing with the storm’s greater impact for quite some time. Hotspotting’s Terry Ryder, a property commentator who is based in the Coast’s hinterland, says the region will be affected by the already rising building sector costs. “We have a shortage of everything – land, house building materials and the various tradespeople. This will push up building costs,” he says. “The recent weather event is going to make it more so because of the need for all of those things that go into rebuilding, renovating and recovering in places like Brisbane and Gympie.” The already tight rental market will also be exacerbated by residents of some of the 15,000 flood-affected homes in the Brisbane area who will be looking for other places to live in the short and long term. REIQ and Q Shelter are encouraging property owners to release their properties onto the long-term rental market. “As

people struggle to recover, anyone with appropriate properties can make a significant difference,” executive director of Q Shelter Fiona Caniglia says. “It will be inevitable that some of the people impacted in Brisbane will come to the Coast,” Mr Ryder said. “Brisbane already has a short supply. This event is just going to make it worst. “It will push some of the demand up to the Coast.” But the region’s property values are unlikely to be affected. “The reality is in Brisbane, according to my calculations,

there was about 1.7 per cent of homes that have been directly impacted,” Mr Ryder says. “It’s a very small part of the Brisbane market. But the perception that people will take away from television coverage, in particular, is the flooding was widespread therefore some [buyers] who are thinking of southeast Queensland may switch their attention to areas they perceive to be less affected. “The Sunshine Coast will be an appealing alternative.” As to owning a property on or close to the water, which often attracts a premium

“There will be upward pressure on building costs, rents and maybe on prices” Terry Ryder

price, it’s yet to be seen if this weather event will alter buyer’s attitudes to purchasing in these areas. “The Coast in terms of the market is pretty much unscathed,” Mr Ryder says. “Depending on where you sit in the market, there will be upward pressure on building costs, rents and maybe on prices.”

NICKLIN WAY WEST NEXT AREA TO ‘POP’ World events have calmed the property market slightly, but it’s still looking extremely healthy. WORDS: Tracey Johnstone. buyer can move into with some certainty is always going to be quite desirable.” The four-bedroom Tivoli Crescent home sold above reserve and under the hammer for $1.326 million. “The guys have done a really good renovation there,” Mr Schofield said. The home is on a 650 square metre block with a north-facing backyard in a quiet street. It sold to a Buderim woman who was looking for a lifestyle property nearer the beach.

roperties west of Nicklin Way are the next ones to “pop” said Home Sunshine Coast agent Andrew Schofield, who sold 11 Tivoli Crescent in Minyama on the weekend. “I see the western side of Nicklin Way from Minyama right down to Currimundi as the next to pop and boom as everyone is priced out of the beachside of Nicklin Way,” he said. The attraction of the Tivoli Crescent area of Minyama is cycleway access to Mooloolaba Beach, walking distance to Kawana Island, and its proximity to the shopping centre and buses. “The best of 4575 is at your fingertips,” Mr Schofield said. “On the beachside you are paying $1.4 million to $1.6 million for a knockdown in Buddina before you pay $30,000 or $40,000 to pull one away, and then you have to build. Build costs and material supply issues are just ongoing, with no definite timeframe in sight. “Something that is pre-existing that a

On top of Buderim at 6/8 Pioneer Crescent, the four-bedroom apartment sold under the hammer for $1.905 million. “I think it’s a true reflection of the current market,” Ray White agent Lew Pottinger said. “There isn’t a lot of supply of that type of upper-end apartments in Buderim, particularly in a quiet street and where you can walk around the corner to be right in the middle of the village.” Located in a six-year-old complex on a quiet street, the apartment has a highly valued north-east aspect. The auction started with 10 registered southeast Queensland bidders, but by the dying stages the battle was between two bidders with their eye on the prize. The successful bidders were a local couple who are downsizing.

CBD DUPLEX POPULAR FOR DOWNSIZERS Going down in size doesn’t always mean going up in height or price. Duplexes such as 1/125 Parker Street in Maroochydore is a perfect compromise said Property Today agent Troy Scott. Six registered bidders were keen to secure the well-presented, three-bedroom

Vendors Joe and Karla with Property Today agent Troy Scott and buyers Brett and Lorna at Unit 1, 125 Parker Street in Maroochydore duplex, which is located within walking distance to the new Maroochydore CBD and to the delightful Cotton Tree shops. “What’s happening in the city is amazing,” Mr Scott said. The duplex sold under the hammer for $1.3 million to a local couple who are downsizing from acreage which they sold some time ago. A short stint in a high-rise apartment block in the interim was enough to convince them that living at ground level was far more attractive. The low-set property previously sold in June 2020 for $690,000 and then extensively renovated. “It’s a hot area,” Mr Scott said. It’s close to the shops and cafes, and a short distance to Maroochydore Beach.

MARKET HESITANCY APPEARING It’s probably in the in last two to three weeks that Property Today’s Jamie Hill has noticed some hesitancy in the residential property market.

“If you go back to the end of December and into January it was about 90 to 100 per cent clearance rate,” he said. Now some auctions are being cancelled and more properties are being sold prior to auction. “I think the confidence has been chipped away with the war, fuel prices, floods, and a pending election. Maybe it’s the auction campaigns. People are still out there, but ‘subject to’. “It’s going to be very interesting watching what happens over the next couple of months.” “I have been watching the number of bidders and talking to other agents. The market is calming,” Mr Hill added. “We just not going at 160 miles per hour now. We are going back to 120, but we are still moving. “The market isn’t dead. We are just seeing less of those buyers that want to continued over >

STAYING REALISTIC While buyers don’t seem to be in as much of a rush as they were six months ago, good prices, even record-breaking ones, are still being achieved according to Ray White’s Jake Loiero. “Serious sellers are still getting good prices for their property,” he added. “Those sellers who set their expectations at a realistic level are getting rewarded. “Property prices may not be lifting at the same rate as they were late last year however premium prices are still being achieved.”

UPCOMING AUCTIONS Located in the Sunshine Cove estate, the relatively new two-storey house at 15 Forsayth Lane in Maroochydore is listed by Dave Hawkins of Adams&Jones. “It’s a generous sized house with great views of the lake and park and little to do when it comes to maintenance,” Mr Hawkins said. “It’s a convenient location. Everything is three minutes from Sunshine Cove; the Plaza, beaches, schools – just everything.” The townhouse at 17/21 Lakeshore

Avenue in Buderim, listed by Ray White’s Mitch Rowe, is “just five minutes to everything”. The well-located threebedroom property has a large backyard and is in a complex with a pool and pleasant gardens. “This property is attracting interest from first homebuyers, investors and downsizers,” Mr Rowe said. You might feel like you are a million miles away when you are in Zen mode at 286 Ilkley Road in Ilkley, but in fact you are only eight minutes to the centre of Buderim. The four-bedroom home which has a beautiful interior is listed by Ray White’s Kathryn Willshire. “It’s the ultimate in tranquillity and privacy,” Ms Willshire said.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

While our regular surf reporter sips cognac around the fire, no doubt wearing one of those big thick sweaters with the weird patterns, regaling his runs down the Canadian slopes, we back home have seen a drop in the swell. This is going to be a good thing to help get some sand back on the beaches. Looks like some decent conditions early each day on the weekend, but the waves will only be small. Enjoy.
