AGENDA

Team Musicare founder and director Dan Nebe

BANDING TOGETHER TO MINIMISE THE FALLOUT A service supporting people with disabilities has acted quickly in the wake of the sudden closure of a Sunshine Coast music venue.

T

he sudden closure of The Station music venue has forced Team Musicare to pause its Sunshine Coast program, disrupting a creative arts service that supports people with disabilities. The Birtinya venue issued just 14 days’ notice to vacate during the Christmas break after suffering significant financial losses, prompting Team Musicare to halt operations at the site. Founded in 2020 with one mentor and one participant, Team Musicare has grown rapidly and now supports more than 200 participants each week, backed by a team of 28 staff. On December 30, The Station’s operators, husband-and-wife team Chris

and Lauren Hignett, confirmed the venue’s closure, revealing business losses of almost $1 million. “There is simply a lack of domestic touring talent at the size needed to fill our room on regular consistency, and the appetite for many internationals is just not there for anything outside of Sydney and Melbourne,” Chris says. The operators say they regret the impact of the closure on Team Musicare. “The Station really enjoyed the energy and enthusiasm Musicare brought to the precinct,” Chris says. “We are devastated that we had to close the business and Musicare was one of the first notified of our intentions. We wish the Musicare team all the best and know that

they will find a great space to operate out of on the Coast, should they wish to.” Team Musicare founder and director Dan Nebe says the organisation decided to pause its local program, rather than rush into an unsuitable replacement venue. “Stability isn’t a nice-to-have for programs like ours. It’s essential,” Dan says. “If we rushed into the wrong space just to keep appearances, we would be setting participants and staff up to fail. “That was never an option.” Team Musicare operated from The Station as a sub-tenant under a lease arrangement and confirmed it had no financial or operational connection to the venue’s business operations. During its time on the Coast, Team Musicare invested more than $100,000 as part of a planned three-year commitment. Despite the venue’s financial challenges, Team Musicare says its Coast programs were thriving, with the past year focused on strengthening community trust. As part of its community engagement, the organisation delivered free weekly drum circles and sponsored a range of events, including council-led initiatives, The Moonwalk at Coolum, and The Men’s Shed Festival. “This wasn’t a short-term set-up or a pop-up program,” Dan says. “We invested in people, training, infrastructure and community. The programs were flourishing. The year was about relationships, trust and doing the work properly.” Following the closure announcement, Team Musicare recalled staff during the Christmas break to safely decommission the site, dismantle infrastructure and transport equipment back to its Redcliffe headquarters.

Where possible, participants were offered continuity by transferring to the Redcliffe program, with Team Musicare committing to ongoing communication with families and support networks as next steps unfold. “Despite the disruption, no staff have lost their jobs,” Dan says. “We’ve chosen to absorb the impact internally rather than pass instability on to our people. A loss doesn’t mean the end. It means we try harder, stay committed and focus on securing a long-term solution so no third-party failure can ever affect our programs again.” Team Musicare is in active negotiations with private property managers across the region and will also engage Sunshine Coast Council to explore whether any councilowned assets may be suitable for a long-term lease. The closure also has affected Project Olympus 2032: an active workforce and training initiative creating disabilityinclusive and youth-focused pathways into employment across events, media, production and live operations ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. To maintain momentum, Project Olympus 2032 trials will temporarily operate from Redcliffe while a Coast base is secured.

COVER STORY

The great regional road trip Residents and visitors alike can uncover ‘hidden gems’, favourite new haunts and the natural beauty of our region by hitting the bitumen – from Caloundra to Noosa and detouring through the hinterland – any day of the week.

Mudjimba Beach. Image: Visit Sunshine Coast

A

Sunshine Coast road trip isn’t about racing from A to B. It’s about Sunday driving, windows down, Fleetwood Mac on, and letting the beaches, cafés and hinterland towns shape the journey. From calm, coastal stretches to buzzing foodie hubs and rainforest escapes, the drive from Caloundra to Noosa delivers on every level. With tips from Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Matt Stoeckel and a few personal favourites from My Weekly Preview journalist Abbey Cannan, here are 10 must-stop destinations to build into your next coastal escape.

GOLDEN BEGINNINGS Start your journey at Golden Beach, where Pumicestone Passage sets the tone for a relaxed morning. The calm, glassy water makes it ideal for paddle boarding, kayaking or casting a line, while the foreshore is perfect for an easy stroll. Before hitting the road, it’s worth detouring to Café Sisily for pastries and cannoli that are well worth the stop – the kind of treat that feels like a reward for waking up early.

MOFFAT’S COASTAL CHARM A short drive north brings you to Moffat Beach, where the coastline really starts to show off. One of the best ways to experience it is on foot. Walk the headland from Moffat to Kings Beach and back, soaking in the ocean views. “Refuel with brunch at a local favourite such as Pockets Espresso Bar or Ours by the Beach, then cool off with a swim before continuing on,” Abbey says.

BOKARINA’S FOODIE BUZZ Bokarina Beach has quietly become one of the Coast’s most exciting dining pockets, with new cafes and restaurants popping up right by the sand. Abbey says it’s hard to go wrong. She loves Stoa or Sundays Coffee for breakfast, recommends Bocca Italian or Playa Mexican for lunch or dinner, and notes Hatched as a great family-friendly option. For dessert, Tutto Freddo’s self-serve frozen yoghurt and acai bar is a must.

KAWANA’S GAME-DAY ENERGY The rest of the Kawana stretch offers plenty of ways to spend a few hours. Abbey suggests grabbing an acai from

Eumundi Markets

Lil Canteen or bagels from Twin Fin, then setting up a picnic or enjoying a swim at La Balsa Park. For sports fans, the Sunshine Coast Stadium adds another layer to the stop. “I’ve been stuck there many weekends for the past couple of years as my partner was the captain of the Sunshine Coast Falcons. I can confirm – it’s a great atmosphere and you can have plenty of fun cheering on local teams,” Abbey says. The stadium hosts major matches throughout the year, including the Broncos opening their campaign against the Sunshine Coast Falcons on Saturday, February 14, at 7pm. To see what else is on throughout the year, visit sunshinecoaststadium.com.au.

INTO THE HINTERLAND When the coast calls for a change of scenery, it’s time to head inland. The Sunshine Coast hinterland is dotted with towns that will reward your exploration. Browse boutiques in Montville and Maleny, enjoy farm-to-fork fare in Mapleton, wander through Conondale’s lush forests, or tick Australia Zoo off the list in Beerwah. The Glass House Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop, while Kenilworth is ideal for filling a picnic basket with local produce and baked treats.

MOOLOOLABA INDULGENCE Back on the coast, Mooloolaba is a great myweeklypreview.com.au

12/01/2026 10:31:05 AM

COVER STORY Both offer a different perspective on the region’s natural beauty.

MARKET MORNINGS Timing your trip with a weekend unlocks one of the Coast’s great pleasures: markets. Grab gifts, snacks or ingredients for later. “If you’re travelling on a Saturday, a wander through the iconic Eumundi Markets is a must,” Matt says. “Otherwise, stock up on fresh local produce at Yandina Markets.”

NOOSA FINALE

Coonowrin by the Glass House Mountains. Image: Tourism & Events Queensland

End the road trip in Noosa, where there’s no shortage of ways to spend a day – or several. Walk through Noosa National Park all the way to Hell’s Gates for rugged coastal views, browse the shops along Hastings Street or Noosa Junction, and choose from endless dining options. For something quick and reliable, Milk Bar Grocer is Abbey’s favourite for takeaways. From sunrise swims to long lunches and hinterland detours, this Caloundrato-Noosa road trip proves that the journey really is just as memorable as the destination.

stop to do some shopping and refresh with a swim. “After working up an appetite, enjoy a long lunch or indulgent dinner at Fish House Steak & Grill in Mooloolaba, one of the Coast’s standout new dining spots,” Matt says. Pier 33 or The Dock are great spots for a drink with friends. The marina views and lively Esplanade make it easy to linger longer than planned.

CHASING VIEWS ON FOOT For those craving a little adventure, the next stop is all about getting active. “For the adventure lovers, climb up Mount Coolum early in the morning or late afternoon for sweeping coastal views, or opt for the gentler rainforest stroll to Buderim Falls,” Matt says.

The Sunshine Coast’s most loved social media content of 2025 has revealed a clear standout trend. Video reigned supreme last year, with all of Visit Sunshine Coast’s top five Facebook and Instagram posts captured in motion for the first time ever. From rare wildlife encounters to sweeping lookout views and immersive forest walks, the destination’s top posts across both platforms showcased the Sunshine Coast through engaging, emotive video storytelling. Across Facebook, audiences were captivated by tranquil hinterland escapes and unexpected moments in nature, with popular videos featuring Secrets on the Lake, a platypus sighting, Buderim Forest Park, Conondale National Park and the panoramic views from Wild Horse Mountain Lookout. Instagram followers were equally inspired, with Wild Horse Mountain Lookout taking out the No.1 spot, followed closely by the platypus in the hinterland, Howell’s Knob Lookout, Mount Coolum Boardwalk and Buderim Forest Park. “Our most popular posts from 2025 show just how powerful video has become in inspiring travel,” Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Matt Stoeckel says. “For the first time ever, every one of our top-performing posts was a video, and they all shared one thing in common: they made people feel like they were already here.” Coastal and hinterland locations featured strongly, with audiences responding to the contrast of elevated lookouts, shaded rainforest trails and quiet moments in nature. Wildlife also proved a standout, with the platypus video resonating strongly across both platforms.

Secrets on the Lake was the No.1 post for 2025. Image: Visit Sunshine Coast

“These videos weren’t about fast edits or flashy production,” Mr Stoeckel says. “They captured authentic Sunshine Coast moments – a peaceful boardwalk stroll, mist rolling over the mountains, or the excitement of spotting a platypus in the wild. That authenticity is what really connected with people.” User-generated and creator content also played important roles, with standout contributions from Ashley Dobson (@ashleydobson), Taylor Cooper (@taylorcoooper) and @ travel_beauty_photography, highlighting the strength of collaboration in telling the Sunshine Coast story. “The results reinforce how travellers and locals are now discovering and dreaming about destinations,” Mr Stoeckel says. “Video allows us to bring the Sunshine Coast to life in a way that still images can’t, and seeing it dominate our top posts in 2025 sets an exciting direction for how we continue to inspire visitors in the future.”

NEW GRADUATE DOCTORS ON DUTY IN HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT REGION Seventy-six new graduate doctors have joined the team at Sunshine Coast Health, ready to transform their training into person-centred care at hospitals across the region. Dr Andrew Wong is one of the new interns, excited to be starting work after many years of study. Inspired by his mother’s medical career in Malaysia, he is excited to be starting his own at Sunshine Coast Health. “Watching her as I grew up and how much she loves her patients, loves her job ... really inspired me,” Andrew says. “I’m currently hoping to be a psychiatrist, just like my mum. I think it runs in the family – a bit of that gene to just love taking care of people’s mental health.” Having grown up on Hamilton Island and studied in North Queensland, Dr Ayoka Wong was drawn to the Sunshine Coast lifestyle, as well as the many learning opportunities on offer. “I’ve heard really good feedback from previous interns and doctors who have worked here,” she says. “It sounds like you’re very well supported, the education system’s also

LEAKS COULD BE HIDING COSTLY WATER USE OR REPAIR BILLS

Dr Ayoka Wong really great here. It sounds like a great place to set up a career in medicine.” Ayoka will start out in the general medicine rotation at Nambour General Hospital. Clinical training director Dr Sara Lucas says the intern program is designed to foster growth and provide mentorship, while supporting the doctors through the first year of their challenging career. “We’ve got people who have come from all over Australia to come and work and do their internship in the Sunshine Coast,” Sara says.

Unitywater is encouraging the community to add ‘check for leaks’ to their to-do list for the new year. This will help avoid hidden, expensive water leaks on their property. During the past year, the utility identified more than 4500 customers who have experienced higher-than-normal water usage. This often indicates water has been leaking out of sight somewhere on their property. Unitywater executive manager customer experience Katherine Gee says hidden leaks can be invisible and silent, often going unnoticed until property damage or a costly water bill reveals the problem. “Concealed leaks such as those underneath driveways, in walls or underground can cause property damage and waste thousands of litres of water each day which ultimately shows up on your water bill,” Katherine says. “A customer had a concealed leak underneath their driveway, with plumbing repairs costing $1300 and their Unitywater bill was nearly $9000. We know how stressful these experiences can be and the best way to avoid a large bill is by doing regular, simple leak checks. “There are a few signs you can look out for like damp or discoloured patches

on walls and ceilings, squishy sections of gardens, patches of lawn greener and longer than the rest, or a pool level that seems to drop quickly, even when it’s not sunny outside,” she says. Customers who have repaired a concealed leak may be eligible for a one-off Concealed Leak Allowance to help offset some of the excess water costs. For Unitywater’s complete list of ways to check for water leaks at home, see the guide at unitywater.com/sneaky-leaks.

DON’S 99 NOT OUT AND KEEN TO BAT ON A well-respected member of the pioneering and community-minded Parkyn family has marked a special milestone. WORDS: Abbey Cannan.

A

lifelong Sunshine Coast resident whose family name is etched into the region’s streets and history, Don Parkyn has marked his 99th birthday surrounded by family. Born on December 19, 1926, Don’s life mirrors the growth of the Coast itself – from farming and fishing to

surf lifesaving, education and community service. The Parkyn family remains one of the most recognisable names in the region, with Parkyn Parade in Mooloolaba and Parkyn Road in Tanawha honouring pioneering contributions. Reflecting on reaching 99, Don says he feels “happy and pleased to have seen and achieved so much”.

“The hard work and commitment paid off and I have a loving family,” he says. Growing up on the Coast in the 1920s and ’30s involved plenty of walking and hard work. The Parkyns lived in Mooloolaba in their original family building on the corner of Venning Street and The Esplanade, opposite the Mooloolaba Hotel. Don began school at age six, attending classes initially held in the Mooloolaba Methodist Church before the state school was built. His older brother Arthur, 15 years his senior, was a junior teacher there and later became principal. The family’s farming roots run deep – from cane cutting at Bli Bli to banana farming at Buderim and Tanawha, and later work at the Buderim Ginger Factory. Don says farming and physical labour taught him dedication to tasks and kept him very fit. “It meant you could manage and achieve your goals, and people saw you as reliable and genuine,” he says. A champion swimmer and surf lifesaver, Don joined the Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club at 16, encouraged by Arthur, who already held senior roles. He won local and state titles in 1942 and 1943, followed by Australian titles in 1945. It was after surf club duties, enjoying a double Sarsaparilla at the Mooloolaba

Don and Dorothy Parkyn’s wedding day on April 15, 1950 Hotel, that he met Dorothy, who was working behind the bar. The couple married on April 15, 1950. Dorothy, who proudly described herself as the Coast’s ‘first cougar’ due to being 18 months older than Don, passed away on September 1, 2023, aged 98. Don credits their long marriage to being “dedicated to each other, with a strong family and work ethic: no task or challenge was too difficult”. He hopes people remember the Parkyns as “a respected family, involved in the community… with a very strong work ethic and a circle of very loyal friends and family”. Don’s advice to younger generations is simple and enduring: “Work hard to achieve your goals, stay honest and loyal to friends and be respectful.”

SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL PROMOTION

FROM THE MAYOR Hello and happy New Year! People tell me all the time how much they love living on the Sunshine Coast. Our focus as a Council for 2026 is clear: listen to our community, get the basics right, and plan confidently for the future, while protecting our lifestyle and the natural character that makes the Sunshine Coast so special. That means delivering reliable services, safer roads, clean beaches and parks, and great community facilities to be enjoyed by all. It also requires considered planning, sensible financial decisions and transparency. We also must tackle the big issues – cost of living, growth and protecting our environment. It’s vital we prepare for the opportunities ahead, including Brisbane 2032, ensuring the Games deliver real and lasting benefits: better public transport, new and upgraded facilities and infrastructure. And we can’t forget that strong communities also need joy. Music, festivals, sport and shared moments matter. The positive feedback from New Year’s Eve events shows just how important celebrations are. Balance is the key. Let’s work together to make 2026 the best yet! Bye for now.

Rosanna Natoli, Mayor, Sunshine Coast Council.

Sand to sky: events set to soar on Sunshine Coast Fans are spoilt for choice as top-class athletes showcase their skills across a variety of sports.

S

ummer on the Sunshine Coast is when nature truly comes alive. Longer days, warm weather and seasonal rain spark a burst of growth, with plants blooming and fruiting to create a natural buffet for wildlife. As food becomes abundant, many animals take the opportunity to raise their young. So, it’s common to see birds nesting, flying foxes pollinating and snakes and reptiles soaking up the sun. They’re simply making the most of the season – just like the rest of us. From November to May, our beaches also transform into vital nesting grounds for marine turtles. As you enjoy the coastline, keep an eye out for tracks, nests and hatchlings. If you spot turtle activity, remember to keep your distance and report it to TurtleCare volunteers via Sunshine Coast Council’s website.

Living in our wildlife-friendly Sunshine Coast Biosphere means sharing our backyards with incredible animals. As they become more active, the best thing we can do is give them space – skip the selfie and enjoy them from afar. You

can record your sightings on iNaturalist (inaturalist.ala.org.au) to support scientists and conservation groups. If you come across a sick or injured animal, the RSPCA is available on 1300 264 625 to help.

HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY January is a great time to try something new, and volunteering at your local library is a meaningful way to begin the year with purpose. Sunshine Coast Libraries are looking for volunteers to support learning, connection and access for people of all ages across the region. Library volunteers are vital in helping services reach across the Coast. From delivering books to

those who can’t visit, to supporting literacy programs and preserving local history, volunteers help create opportunities for learning and connection. If you’re interested in volunteering this year, now is a good time to learn more. Visit library.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au to register your interest and find a role that suits you.

Helping ease the squeeze at rates time With cost-of-living pressures continuing, practical support is more important than ever.

Cr Tim Burns Division 3

PLENTY OF NEWS TO REPORT I hope you’ve had time to recharge, eat your body weight in pavlova and maybe even win a backyard cricket match or two. As we roll into 2026, my focus is still on making Division 3 the best place to live, work and play because, let’s face it, we’ve got the beaches, the parks – and now the bridges. Have you checked out the new pedestrian bridge in Birtinya? Delivered by Stockland, the bridge is 85m of pure walking glory, linking Birtinya Island Southbank Parklands with the new Birtinya Town Centre. It’s the first of three bridges planned as part of a significant infrastructure investment by Stockland. So, grab your sneakers and take a stroll over water. Who needs Venice when you’ve got Birtinya? We’ll also welcome upgrades to a number of Division 3 parks and

playgrounds: new fencing, softfall surfaces, seating and shade sails. This means safer, cooler spots for the kids (and for you to enjoy a sneaky coffee in peace). And foodies, mark your calendars. The Curated Plate returns from July 24 to August 2. We’re calling on chefs, venues and creators to dream big. Think beachside degustations, foraging adventures and flavours that scream “Sunshine Coast”. Expressions of interest close on January 31. So, sharpen those knives and ideas. Finally, storm season is here. We’ve already experienced it in true Queensland style. Stay prepared with disasterhub. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au – your go-to resource. And sign up for Coast Alert via the Sunshine Coast Council App. A reminder that you can sign up for the Division 3 newsletter at our. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/subscribeDIV3 or catch up with me in person from February 10 and every second Tuesday of the month from 9-10am at various locations. Follow @Cr Tim Burns Division 3 on social media, email division3@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or call 5420 8978.

Brendan Hogan Wishlist CEO

LOCAL PHILANTHROPY IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING As a new year begins, many of us look forward to new opportunities, fresh ideas and the ways we might make a difference in our communities. But the change of year also offers a valuable moment to pause to think about what has come before. Reflection brings gratitude for the many long-standing supporters who have walked alongside Wishlist for years, as well as those who joined the cause over the past 12 months. Together, their contributions continue to shape healthcare outcomes across the Sunshine Coast and Gympie. It’s a time for a renewed appreciation of the remarkable individuals and everyday community members whose generosity and leadership have left a lasting mark. Included are people who, over the years, have been recognised with the Chairman’s

Award at the annual Wishlist Spring Carnival. These recipients (most recently Dana and Dale Trickett), represent the very best of what local philanthropy can achieve. Just before Christmas, there was another reminder of the difference individuals can make to the community. The Give Me Five Southern Cross Sheds Diamond Lunch – proudly sponsored by Deb and Leon Bishop and generously supported by Louise Jean Diamonds. The now annual event is an enduring legacy of Craig and Sandra Jackson, who first established the Diamond Lunch 23 years ago. That it continues to thrive is a testament to their vision and the community spirit they inspired. Importantly, many gifts given years ago are still making a difference every single day, from parents’ rooms in neonatal wards offering practical support during difficult times for new parents, to critical laboratory equipment supporting daily blood cell bacteria diagnosis. These are just two examples of countless gifts that truly keep giving, touching countless lives long after they were made. As Wishlist looks ahead, it does so with optimism, gratitude and a continuing commitment to better healthcare close to home.

COOLUM BEACH CLEAN-UP This Coolum Beach clean-up focuses on the issue of microplastics in the coastal environment. Microplastics are plastic fragments smaller than 5mm, including particles too tiny to see, now found in sand, water, air and marine life. Some originate from consumer products such as cosmetics and coatings, while others result from the breakdown of larger plastic items through sun, salt and wave action. The clean-up provides a practical opportunity to reduce plastic pollution on the shoreline while raising awareness of how everyday plastics persist in coastal ecosystems. When: Saturday, January 17, 11am-noon. Where: Coolum Beach Surf Life Saving Club, 1775-1779 David Low Way. Tickets: Free event.

MY OPINION

IT’S A NEW YEAR, SO KEEP SMILING

NO CEILING ON GAME OF CHANCE

Ashley Robinson has been considering what changes he’d like to see in himself and others as we tackle the first few weeks of 2026.

Jane Stephens discovers that when it comes to putting a roof over your head, renters and buyers alike are confused about today’s price rules.

W

hat things I would like to change about myself and others in 2026 is probably a good place to start for the early part of the year. Personally, I have decided I need to smile more. No matter what the inside of me feels like, the outside – while rough and ready – needs to project more happiness. I have a lot to be happy about and have been for most of my life. But ever since I was kid, people have been asking me: “What is the matter?” I seem to have a natural frown, even though most of the time I am actually happy or at least happy/sad neutral. So, that must change. But I know one thing: it will freak out people who know me well. They will be wondering what the hell I am smiling about. That works for me. My political views need to change as well. I have always been middle to right, but with what is going on in the world lately, I think I am just middle: not left, not right, but dead centre. I care more now than ever for our multiculturalism and the underprivileged families impacted by disability and serious illness. I want to make it my mission in life to help where I

can at best and understand more at worst. That’s enough change for me. Now, for others, I would love to see more compassion and understanding, rather than what I believe we have inherited from Covid: a ‘me, me, me, me’ philosophy. This might be hard to do, but it is worth considering. And wouldn’t it be great to see both sides of politics working together to make us a better state and a better nation rather than point scoring whenever they can? While on politics, I reckon one less tier of government would be great as well. There are way-too-many mouths drinking at the taxpayers’/ratepayers’ trough, with way-too-much red tape that they have themselves and us in. If you have read this far, I agree the above paragraph is a pretty tough ask. Maybe start with something simpler – like not walking three abreast on pathways; saying hello when you pass someone on those walkways; waving when someone lets you into a traffic lane; and, most of all, not practising road rage – we are all going to get there eventually. Yes, I know: keep it simple, stupid. I just need to smile more. Enjoy your year.

magine a loaf of bread for sale at your favourite bakery. Crusty and fresh, it is not long out of the oven after being created by skilled hands. You can almost taste it. On the shelf it rests on, a sign tells you: $9 or near offer. What the heck? In a shop hangs a shirt that is just the right colour and shape for you in a style perfect for work. The label says: “Bids over $49.” But what is meant by over? How much over: $1, $10 or $100? Imagine the outrage, the confusion, the outpourings of upset over the inequity that such sales strategies for basic goods would incur. We would wonder if bartering in Bali had found a new Sunshine Coast base. Surely, even in a competitive market, some things should be sure and some commodities must have certainty. But this is the way of things in real estate: numbers are nebulous and figures are figments. Advertised prices on rentals are ballpark numbers, and when you rock up to inspect the premises, there is a good chance that others who also see themselves living there have already gone over and above, leaving the asking price in their dust. Too many people are being repeatedly beaten out and

beaten down in pursuit of a place to call home. Moving house is not something most people do regularly, and the rules of the bartering game are not laid out for the newbies. There is often no rulebook. It is a case of ‘if you know, you know’. Creativity is also required when wanting to buy a house. A mate, who was recently in urgent need of a home, put it this way: count every available penny you have and put it all on black. Only then might you have a shot at coming up the winner of the residential prize. Having shelter is a basic human need and a foundational human right, just like food and clothing. The rules around access and the prices charged should be fair, clear and transparent. There is unlikely to be a tighter housing market than the Sunshine Coast, and yet the silent auction practice on rentals and sales seems to have been perfected here, leaving the unaware or inexperienced lagging and still homeless. Where housing is concerned, gamification has led to confusion and elitism. Securing a home should not be a matter of who dares wins.

MY OPINION

Justin Scattini

Ord Minnett Buderim

MARKET OUTLOOK FOR THE 2026 CALENDAR YEAR Australian equities – the local market doesn’t speak to value, given a current forward price/earnings multiple of 18.0x and a dividend yield of 3.5 per cent. Sensible stock picking are, therefore, critical. While expectations for 2025 earnings have continued to deteriorate, expectations for 2026 have turned more upbeat since the August reporting season, with the consensus pointing to solid 7.6 per cent growth. Pleasingly, the rebound in growth appears broad-based, with most sectors, excluding energy and utilities, expected to lift their bottom lines. The resource sector remains a key driver, supported by an improving outlook for commodities. The gold price remains resilient – driven by geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation and central bank buying. Iron ore has also held up, despite concerns around China’s economic growth. Other cyclicals, including industrials and retail, are showing positive signs, with improved credit growth, recovering consumer sentiment and rising capacity utilisation. Expectations for 2027 earnings growth is also proving consistently strong. International equities – we forecast weak returns from international equities over the next year, driven by modest dividend yields, expected earnings

downgrades, and a potential de-rating in price-to-earnings multiples – particularly in the US, where valuations remain stretched, leaving little room for disappointment. The global economy remains clouded by uncertainty, with persistent inflation a strong headwind. However, a potential downturn in the US is likely to outweigh inflationary pressures from reduced labour supply and trade frictions, allowing the Federal Reserve to maintain an easing cycle. Japan and emerging markets (ex-China) remain our preferred global exposures on valuation grounds. We continue to favour Japan, supported by respectable economic growth, a return to inflation, and improving corporate pricing power – all of which underpin earnings momentum. We are less negative on Europe than previously, but we note structural challenges persist, and earnings growth remains relatively subdued compared with global peers. Despite recent stimulus from Beijing, we consider it to be inadequate to address current issues with big-bang reform required. We’ll need to see a clearer revival in consumer-led demand before turning more constructive on China. In summary – with valuations stretched, the Australian market requires strong stock picking skills. While 2025 earnings expectations have softened, 2026 looks set to deliver decent growth. International equities face a challenging outlook, with elevated valuations, especially in the US. On the other hand, Europe and emerging markets are more reasonably priced, while the Japanese market stands out for value.

Member Spotlight PJ Sandhu FULTON AND CO PROPERTY

Where do you live? Forest Glen. Can you tell us about your family? I have a small and close family: myself, my partner and our two pups (they’ll always be pups to us). Our parents and extended families live in India. So, staying connected to them from afar is deeply important to us. Favourite location on the Coast? Anything nature-based feels special to me. From the beaches to the local parks, every corner offers something beautiful. I feel grateful to live in such an incredible part of the world. Which local person inspires you? Robert Mansell, assistant managing director of Mansell’s Concrete Premix. A conversation we shared when I first moved here stayed with me. H told me, “PJ, follow your passion and the rest will come to you.” That message guided me toward real estate, which feels like my natural calling. Favourite local business? Habibti, Noosa, for its elegant Middle Eastern flavours; Bombay Bliss, Maroochydore, for authentic Indian cuisine that reminds me of home; EyeHub, Buderim, for it strong community focus; and Italian Corner in Forest Glen for pizzas that taste like they belong on the European coast. Best thing about living on the Coast? The close-knit, friendly nature of the community. Coming from a larger city, the warmth here has been a refreshing change.

The year-round great weather also means I can take my custom choppers out whenever the skies allow, storms excluded. How long have you been a Chamber member? We’ve only joined recently. What’s the best thing about being a Chamber member? The networking opportunities. Being new to the area, it’s been an invaluable platform to build meaningful professional and personal connections. Favourite ChamberCast with the President and Pep? Episode 25 with Gina Balarin. As a real-estate professional and digital creator with more than 250,000 followers, I found her insights on authenticity, storytelling and leadership deeply resonated with me. She reinforced the power of genuine communication. This is a value I bring to real estate and digital media. Favourite Chamber event? The monthly coffee events. At a recent event, president Brendan Bathersby forgot to introduce me as a new member. We had a good laugh and it reminded me again of how warm and good-natured the community is. What excites you about the future of our region? I’m looking forward to the Sunshine Coast Ecological Park project in Maleny. I’ve already registered to volunteer because protecting and celebrating nature aligns strongly with my values.

FIRST GLIMPSE OF GYMPIE’S OVER-50S SHOWPIECE

W

ith preliminary earthworks at Horizon Living in full swing, the owners of Gympie’s new prestige over-50s community are now looking forward to the construction of the property’s $10 million clubhouse. Designed as the social heart of the community, the clubhouse will be the place residents meet, connect and enjoy

the amenities. It incorporates a wellness centre, and offers everything from a bar and café to a heated swimming pool and spa, bowling green, library, pickleball court, golf simulator and cinema. The clubhouse is expected to be the place where neighbours become friends and the Horizon lifestyle comes together. The image (above) shows the external form of the building and its surrounding

recreation facilities. In coming months, further images will showcase the pool and sundeck area, front entry and arrival facilities, and the bar and dining spaces. Full floor plans of the entire clubhouse and wellness centre are already available for viewing in Horizon’s sales office. When roads are formed, pads prepared and foundations laid, construction on the first of 158 dwellings,

which will make up the Horizon community, will quickly begin. The first residents will move into their new homes before the end of the year. The first two stages sold out within weeks of release, and the third stage will be released next month. To relieve any stress on potential buyers, Horizon Living has launched a Priority Access Club, where members can secure their place in line and have early access to Stage 3 and future releases. Horizon Living is the latest development of the Sunshine Coast-based McGovern family, who built and operated Rivershore Resort: an award-winning and hugely popular glamping resort on the banks of the Maroochy River at Diddillibah, near Maroochydore. Horizon Living is designed for over-50s seeking a relaxed, secure lifestyle. Residents have a choice of seven home designs, tailored to suit different lifestyles and the shape and size of the lot. There are three stylish facades to choose from, each available in three colour palettes. Homes in the second stage were selling from $625,000. Call 1300 150 352, or drop in to the sales office in Condies Arcade, 163 Mary Street, Gympie, on Mondays, Thursdays or Fridays from 10am to 2pm.

RFA TARGETS SHOULDERS TO RELIEVE DISCOMFORT

WHY REGULAR HEARING TESTS MATTER

Shoulder radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to alleviate chronic shoulder pain. It targets and disrupts the nerves that transmit pain signals. This technique involves the use of radiofrequency energy to create heat lesions on specific nerves in the shoulder joint or surrounding tissues, effectively interrupting their ability to transmit pain signals to the brain. Shoulder RFA is often considered for patients who have not experienced adequate pain relief from conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy or steroid injections. Common conditions that may be treated with shoulder RFA include chronic shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) and other sources of persistent shoulder pain. The procedure is typically performed and guided by imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound to ensure accurate placement of the RFA probe. Once positioned, the radiofrequency energy is delivered to the targeted nerves, creating a controlled thermal lesion that disrupts their ability to transmit pain signals. Following shoulder RFA, patients

Hearing loss is something many of us will face at some point in our lives. Whether it’s from ageing, working in noisy environments, or simply the wear and tear of everyday living, our ears are constantly exposed to sound. Prolonged exposure to noise above 85 decibels can be harmful. Everyday sounds such as crowded rooms, heavy equipment or even a night out at a music venue can reach those levels. Hearing loss isn’t all or nothing: it happens in degrees. Mild loss (26–39 dB) can make whispered conversations or certain consonants hard to catch. Moderate loss (40–69 dB) means following speech, even in quiet rooms, becomes difficult. Severe loss (70–94 dB) often requires hearing aids, and phone conversations may feel impossible. Profound loss (95 dB and above) makes even loud sounds including sirens hard to hear, and communication often relies on lip reading or sign language. The challenge is that hearing loss often creeps up gradually. You may not notice the small changes until they begin to affect your daily life. That’s why regular hearing tests are so important. Just like eye exams or dental check-ups, hearing assessments

may experience some temporary discomfort or soreness at the treatment site, but this usually resolves within a few days. Many patients report significant pain relief and improved shoulder function in the weeks following the procedure, as the targeted nerves are no longer able to transmit pain signals effectively. Shoulder RFA is generally considered a safe and effective treatment option for chronic shoulder pain, offering longlasting relief and improved quality of life for many patients. As with any medical procedure, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if shoulder RFA is an appropriate treatment option, based on individual needs and medical history.

The non-surgical treatment of BCC skin cancers

Improvements made in dry eye treatment

Dealing with spinal canal stenosis

Exploding myth of the virtuoso surgeon

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are the most common type of skin cancer, and Queensland has the highest rates in the world. Nodular BCCs are mostly cut out, but what happens when they are on visible or tight areas such as the face or sternum? Thankfully, there is a safe alternative to excision for the most common types of BCC. It's photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT is a medicated cream and light treatment that does not involve radiation or chemotherapy and has been proven with more than 20 years of use in practice. This non-surgical treatment needs to be administered by a trained nurse following a standardised PDT protocol and is effective for most superficial or nodular BCCs less than 2mm deep. While the cure rates are lower than with excision, many people like to have the choice. That’s why my colleagues at SunLife and I offer assessment for excision or PDT. SunLife has trained PDT nurses and a dedicated PDT room. If it is decided that excision is the best approach, we can perform most procedures on-site without need for a referral.

Dry eye disease affects many Australians. Heat, air-conditioning, screen use, ageing and common medications all play a role. Research now shows that dry eye is not a single problem. It is a group of conditions with different causes. Some people lose tears too quickly. Others produce poor-quality tears. Many have eyelid gland blockage or surface inflammation. Some feel strong discomfort, even when the eye looks normal. Recognition has improved. Eyecare teams now combine symptom surveys with focused tests. These assess tear stability, eyelid gland health, surface irritation and nerve sensitivity. This approach helps to identify what drives symptoms, not only what looks abnormal. Treatment has also advanced. Artificial tears still help, but they are only a starting point. Daily lid cleaning, heat therapy, blink habits and screen breaks matter. Targeted anti-inflammatory care reduces burning and light sensitivity. New therapies support natural tear production and improve tear film quality. In-clinic treatments can restore blocked oil glands and reduce evaporation. Dry eye requires a plan. Review progress after several weeks. Adjust care early. Consistent treatment leads to better comfort and clearer vision.

The nerves within the spine run down a central canal and exit through openings between the vertebrae called foramen. When these openings become narrow – due to ageing, osteoarthritis, injury or trauma, disc herniation or general wear and tear – patients can experience symptoms such as numbness, weakness and pain. This narrowing is most common in the cervical spine, affecting the upper limbs, and in the lumbar spine, affecting the lower limbs. Usually, spinal canal stenosis can be treated with minimally invasive surgery to decompress the spinal canal, creating more space for the nerves to pass through. This type of surgery is particularly effective in reducing symptoms associated with the compressed nerve, such as pain in the arms and fingers, as well sciatica symptoms in the legs and feet. Spinal canal stenosis can also be due to instability or abnormal movement of the spine. Symptoms usually improve with sitting or lying down and pain is usually worse when standing, walking or reaching overhead. Surgery can be a reliable treatment option for these symptoms. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned, talk to your GP about a referral to a neurosurgeon to discuss your treatment options.

For years, the image of the ‘virtuoso surgeon’ – an all-knowing, highly skilled individual whose talent alone determines surgical success – has shaped public perception. While skill and experience are essential, modern medicine shows this idea is more myth than reality. Surgery today is a team effort. Behind every successful operation is a coordinated group of anaesthetists, nurses, surgical technologists, allied health and support staff. Their combined expertise, communication and preparation are just as crucial as the surgeon’s hands. Technology also plays a growing role. Advanced imaging, robotic tools and AI-driven planning assist in making surgeries safer and more precise. These innovations help reduce the variability of outcomes once dependent on individual skill alone. Even the most talented surgeons rely on standardised procedures, safety checklists and evidence-based practices developed through collaboration and research, not individual brilliance. The myth of the lone genius can create unrealistic expectations and overlook the value of systems and teamwork. True surgical excellence comes not from one person, but from many working together, guided by science, supported by technology and committed to the best patient care.

Monday’s new moon suggests big changes are brewing at work. The planets also encourage you to hold out the olive branch of peace to a friend or acquaintance. Nifty networking, creative communication and smart negotiation are the secrets to smooth partnerships.

On Monday, the new moon focuses on holidays, travel and adventure. However, after your trip or vacation is over, it will be straight back to work as the sun, Mercury and Mars join Venus and Pluto in your career/ reputation zone. Whatever you do, people will be talking about you.

This week’s sun/planet conjunctions favour broadening your horizons via travel, adventure, education and communication. It’s time to be positive and confident as you socialise and fraternise. Lucky opportunities and fortuitous connections will take you places.

Sociable, generous Jupiter is transiting through your sign (until June 30), so you’re at your chatty, charming best. Avoid going on a spending spree or lending money. You’re liable to make impulsive decisions but it’s a good week to daydream, read, reflect and revise.

It’s a good week to start a new diet or an updated exercise routine, as the earthy new moon highlights your wellbeing zone. By the end of the week, you’ll have five planets revving up your relationship zone. It’s time to put family and friends first as you love, nurture and spoil them.

Monday’s new moon stimulates your love and friendship zones. The transition of the sun/Pluto/ Venus/Mars/Mercury (your ruling planet) through your daily routine zone highlights physical health and mental wellbeing, and favours enjoying the simple things in life.

This week, no less than six planets (the sun, new moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto) are transiting through your family, friendship and leisure zones. It’s time to savour the comforts of home, share the good times with loved ones and enjoy pursuing your favourite hobbies.

Monday’s new moon lights up your education, communication and local travel zones. Family fiascos, intense feelings, power plays and/or passionate outbursts are likely, but there’s also the opportunity to connect with family and friends in deeply satisfying ways.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21) Don’t let fleeting whims and luxury fever get in the way of some serious financial planning. Monday’s earthy Capricorn new moon (in your money zone) demands a disciplined attitude and a solid long-term strategy. It also promises reboots, fresh dreams and exciting beginnings.

There’s a new moon in Capricorn and the sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto link up in your self-esteem zone. There is the tendency to be very intense and self-absorbed. With jovial Jupiter in your relationship zone, try to relax and have some fun with loved ones.

You’ve been laying low but it’s time for quirky Aquarians to sparkle and shine. This week, the fiery sun, Mercury, Venus, Pluto and Mars are all visiting your sign, so, strive to be as proactive and productive as possible. Other people are looking to you for leadership and inspiration.

The planets highlight your humanitarian and helping zones. You’re keen to get involved with a project from behind the scenes but be careful you don’t get lost in a fantasy. With Saturn still transiting through your sign, keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

RED TAPE AND AFFORDABILITY ARE STILL KEY Economists and property industry experts warn that work still needs to be done to ease the housing crisis, despite some positive home approvals figures.

H

ome approvals in Australia have surged to a three-and-a-halfyear high, but construction challenges will continue to constrain progress on housing affordability. The number of dwellings approved for construction jumped 15.2 per cent to 18,406 in November, driven by a 34.1 per cent rise in apartments and townhouses. It’s the highest monthly total since February 2022 and comes after a 6.1 per cent fall in October. The positive result beat economist expectations for a 2 per cent rise, but given the volatile nature of the figures, was unlikely to be replicated next month, AMP economists Diana Mousina and My Bui say. Dwelling approvals fluctuate month to month, but the trend has risen steadily since bottoming out around 13,000 in early 2024. Approvals are trending about 16,500 per month, which would put the nation on track to build about 200,000 homes per year. That’s still well below the 240,000 per year run rate set by the national housing accord target of 1.2 million new homes over five years.

Approvals are only one piece of the puzzle. Builders still need to get homes onto the ground and rising construction costs, ongoing skills shortages and infrastructure bottlenecks are limiting the feasibility of many projects. “Recent upticks in building costs, as evident by today’s inflation data, could be worrying for construction business sentiment, which will hurt the approvals count,” Ms Mousina and Ms Bui say. The Property Council’s Matthew Kandelaars says too many projects are

stuck waiting for the next set of sign-offs following approval. “If governments want more homes on the ground sooner, this is where the focus needs to shift,” he says. “Streamline the post-permit pathway, set timeframes, coordinate utilities and keep pushing reforms that lift feasibility and delivery.” The industry’s inability to get supply into the market has kept available properties scarce and drove up rental prices in 2025.

Rents rose 5.2 per cent over the year, pushing the national median to $681 a week, property data firm Cotality revealed in its latest Quarterly Rental Review recently. The rental index has surged by 42.9 per cent over the past five years, amounting to an extra $204 per week to the median rental value. The five years prior, rents increased by just 7.5 per cent or $33 per week. After rising by 0.9 per cent in the three months to September, rents climbed 1.3 per cent over the December quarter. The re-acceleration was bad news for renters, inflation and the outlook for interest rates, Cotality research director Tim Lawless says. “There isn’t really too much sign of any real alleviation in the scarcity of rental stock, which of course means there’s this ongoing upwards pressure on rents,” he says. Vacancy rates fell to 1.7 per cent nationally in December, down from 2.1 per cent a year prior and well below the pre-Covid decade average of 3.3 per cent. AAP.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Righty-oh then, some trivia this week as there is really not much happening in the ocean. Funny suburbs names it is. Let’s start with Bong Bong (NSW), Jackass Flat ( Victoria), Come by Chance (NSW), Spanker Knob (NSW) and Falmouth (Tasmania). Years ago, I travelled into Amish land in the US. One town was called Intercourse and the next one was Paradise. And yes, they sold T-shirts with: “Halfway between Intercourse and Paradise”. I am surprised that Bald Knob did not make the top 10 in my Google search! Pray for surf or a cyclone.
