Festival Stayin’ Alive By Abbey Cannan Despite rising costs forcing huge festival cancellations, the Noosa Alive Festival is Stayin’ Alive in its 22nd year thanks to the community and their thirst for the arts, along with volunteers who work selflessly to support artists and live performance. Renee Stafford from Noosa Alive Festival said, “We feel proud that the Noosa community and local businesses value artist’s craft, the arts and cultural live performances.“ “When a community gathers, it’s the stories retold through live performance that ignite emotions, feelings, provoke thought, and sometimes ignite action. “We feel NOOSA alive! has been supported by many volunteers over its 22 year history and this is what has allowed the festival to fine tune the execution of the program to ensure it meets the desires of attendees each year.“ Continues page 4

Anchors aweigh By Margie Maccoll A ‘no anchoring zone’ imposed on the Noosa River 60m from the southern shoreline together with a trial allowing compliant and seaworthy vessels under 5m to anchor in the zone to access shops, services or engage in recreational activities has led river users to voice their
concerns to Noosa MP Sandy Bolton. Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) officers say the new restrictions primarily affect vessels over 5m, which are no longer allowed to anchor within a distance of 60 metres from the shore or be grounded on the shoreline in the area from Lake Doonella to the Garth Prowd Bridge.
Further anchoring restrictions are planned for Woods Bay and Little Woods Bay as part of the progressive Noosa River waterway reforms and additional navigation aids are being installed to better mark the navigation corridor for safer boating, MSQ state. Ms Bolton said feedback she received from river users has been provided to MSQ and they
have provided assurance that those genuinely engaging in recreational activities and accessing shops and services, regardless of size, are not being targeted as the changes are to see an end to those who have been doing the ‘wrong thing’ and ‘parking up’ permanently in these zones. Continued page 3
