Service shuttered

By Steve Linnell

A vital Sunshine Coast palliative care service will not reopen for the foreseeable future, leaving its entire nursing workforce out of jobs and creating a major gap in end-of-life care across the region.

Katie Rose Cottage Hospice has confirmed it will remain closed indefinitely following a prolonged funding crisis that had already forced a pause on patient admissions.

Director, CFO and Chairman Les Godwin told nurses in an email seen by Noosa Today the decision had come after all possible options to keep

the service operating were exhausted.

“It is with deep sadness and great regret that we write to advise that, further to previous communications, and as soon as we were informed ourselves, Katie Rose Cottage Palliative Care Hospice will not be reopening for the foreseeable future,” Mr Godwin said in the email.

“We know this news will be incredibly difficult to receive. Please be assured that every possible effort has been made, and all avenues have been explored, in an attempt to keep Katie Rose operating. Unfortunately, in the current climate, this has not been possible.”

The closure has directly impacted the hospice’s highly regarded nursing team, who had been providing in-house and in-home palliative care services across the Sunshine Coast.

Mr Godwin confirmed all nurses would receive their outstanding entitlements, however sources have told Noosa Today that only their annual leave has been paid out and not other entitlements.

“All nurses will be paid any outstanding entitlements, including accrued annual leave. These payments are currently being processed and, due to the Easter break, we anticipate they will be dis-

tributed on or around Friday 10 April,” he said.

“If we encounter any issues with calculations, processing,ordistributiontoindividualaccounts, we will notify you as soon as possible.”

The hospice operated under a mixed funding model, with Queensland Government contributions covering only about one third of nursing costs. The remainder relied heavily on donations, fundraising and revenue from its op shops and warehouse operations.

Nominations open

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards, with Noosa MP Sandy Bolton encouraging our community groups and organisations to recognise those who give so much to us.

Now in its eighth year, the awards celebrate individuals who dedicate their time, expertise and care to supporting our community, often without recognition.

“Queensland Day is an opportunity to reflect on what makes our community strong, and that is our people,” Ms Bolton said.

“Across Noosa, there are thousands of unpaid workers quietly contributing every day, whether through community groups, sporting clubs, environmental efforts or supporting those doing it tough.”

“These awards are about acknowledging their contributions and ensuring those who give so much are recognised.”

Community groups and not-for-profit organisations can nominate individuals who have volunteered for a minimum of two years within the Noosa State Electorate or have provided pro bono services that support local residents.

Nominees must not have previously received a Noosa Queensland Day Award, with each organisation able to submit up to two nominations. Nominations close at 12pm on Monday 22 May.

Successful nominees will receive a personalised medallion and certificate of recognition at the Queensland Day Awards ceremony to be held on Friday, 5 June at The J.

The Noosa MP said she has been particularly

inspired by the increase in young Noosans recognised.

“Our volunteers are unpaid workers and the backbone of our community. These awards are vital to recognise their selfless contribution and to give gratitude to them, with an age range from teens to in the nineties demonstrating that age is not a barrier to giving” she said.

The annual Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards are proudly presented by Sandy Bolton MP and supported by Noosa Today and the Cooroy RSL.

To submit a nomination, visit www.sandybolton.com/qld-day-awards. Hard copy forms are also available from Sandy Bolton’s office at Suite CB05, 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville, or can be posted by calling 53193100.

Police operation wraps up after break

Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay Police are urging drivers to slow down and stay alert for vulnerable road users, as the Easter school holidays come to an end and children across the region return to school.

The return to school coincides with the final week of Operation Yankee Easter Break, with police conducting high-visibility patrols and enforcement actions across the state to deter unsafe behaviours such as speeding, fatigue, distraction and impaired driving.

As part of that operation, more than 8000 random breath tests (RBTs) were conducted on the Sunshine Coast and 128 roadside drug tests to 16 April, detecting 45 drink drivers and 34 drug drivers.

533 traffic infringement notices (TINs) were issued, including 197 for speeding and 16 seatbelt offences.

In that same time period, more than 7800 RBTs were conducted across the Wide Bay and 163 roadside drug tests, with 36 drink drivers and 42 drug drivers detected.

A total of 435 TINs were issued and 1020 speed camera offences were detected, including one driver travelling 205km/h in a 110 zone on the Bruce Highway at the Gympie bypass.

Gympie and Sunshine Coast Highway Patrols also conducted Operation Sandstorm alongside Operation Easter Break, targeting dangerous behaviour at Noosa North Shore, Teewah Beach and Double Island Point over the Easter long weekend. Further patrols are planned for the Labour Day long weekend.

As students return to the classroom, police will be focused on school zones while continuing high visibility enforcement activities on the wider road network.

Drivers need to ensure they’re abiding by the 40km/hour school zone limits, which are back in effect from today.

With more cars, pedestrians and bike riders, particularly young children, around schools, motorists need to take extra care.

Emergency Response and Coordination Command Assistance Commissioner Rhys Wildman said consistent, high visibility operations during high-traffic periods like school holidays were crucial to deterring dangerous behaviours.

“These periods of high-volume traffic on our roads can lead to an increase in dangerous behaviours like speeding, impaired driving, or fatigued driving – actions that can have devastating, lifelong consequences,” he said.

Noosa loses arts legend

“It is with great sadness that Team Majestic informs all of the community and those who knew him from further afield that our beloved Ron West has passed away at the great age of 93,” Majestic Theatre Pomona president Alison Hadfield announced last Saturday on Facebook.

“Ron was a national treasure and a true legend who never wasted a minute of living. His love of theatre, film and the arts in general were unbounding,” she said.

“He gave a lot to his community, most importantly, the Majestic Theatre Pomona which he was involved with for over half a century.

“He kept the art of Silent Films alive, and it is because of him that the Majestic is known worldwide as the “only theatre in the world that continually screens Silent Films”, and through his generosity, enabled the Noosa Shire community to acquire and have one of the very few owned and operated community theatres in this country.

“The world, and more specifically the arts world, is a better place for having had Ron West in it. People like Ron West don’t come along every day, we were blessed to have him in our community.”

Her sentiments were echoed in comments as people fondly recalled time spent at the Majestic Theatre and Ron’s generosity, his willingness to share his talents and his incredible film knowledge.

It was a case of being in the right place at the right time for Ron West when he discovered Pomona’s Majestic Theatre while looking for a venue to stage the Sydney Film Festival’s travelling film festival in 1974.

As the festival’s technical officer and organ player Ron had received a call from film critic David Stratton to find a location on the Sunshine Coast to stage the travelling film festival, giving him only 10 days notice.

“Someone told me about a theatre in Pomona. I got hold of the man who owned it and begged him to yes,” he told Noosa Today a few years ago.

Crowds of 180-200 people turned up for each session making the venue the most popular of all visited by the travelling festival.

Ron, with wife, Mandy, bought the theatre in that year and owned it until 2006.

He almost shut it in 1985 when competition from the newly opened cinema in Noosa Junction took away their customers.

Just in time he got a call from the entertainment officer at the then Hyatt Coolum looking for something with a touch of nostalgia for a group of travel agents.

“I put on a screening of Rudolph Valentino in Son of the Sheik and played the organ,” he told Noosa Today. “I just made it up as I went along. They all fell about laughing.”

Word of the act spread and Ron continued running Silent Movies and providing the soundtrack for then next 26 years.

After about 30 years of preservation and restoration, Ron sold the Majestic to the Pomona community at below-market value, on an interest-free loan.

He included everything inside the building at no cost. The Majestic is now run entirely by volunteers and Ron had been one of them.

His contribution to the community was recognised officially several times over the years.

In 2004 he received the Noosa Shire Austra-

lia Day Award in 2004 for his contributions to culture and community.

In 2024 he was named a nominee for the 2024 Senior Australian of the Year for Queensland award.

Two years ago Sunshine Coast filmmakers Jordan Lawrence and Jayke Barnes released a documentary on Ron’s life, titled Last Man Standing.

Jordan told Noosa Today the filmmakers had wanted to focus their documentaries on

people who inspired them.

“At age 90, he’s still doing the thing that grabbed him as a young artist. The fact that he’s still doing it at his age just seemed like the ultimate form of success to us,” Jordan said.

To honour Ron the Sunshine Coast Film Collective planned to screen “Last Man Standing” at their short film evening at Nambour Cinemas on Wednesday 21 April from 7pm, with a tribute to Ron from one of the filmmakers behind the award winning movie.

A solemn day

April 25 is a solemn day when Australians pause to remember and reflect on the courage of our first Anzacs and the sacrifices made by every man and woman who has worn the uniform and served our nation.

The ANZAC legend was born in the early hours of 25th of April 1915 when troops from Australia and New Zealand landed on the beach in Turkey that we now call ANZAC Cove. Maryborough man Major Duncan Chapman was the first ashore and was joined by many of his comrades from towns and farming communities throughout Wide Bay.

The ANZAC troops clung to this small beachhead valiantly for almost eight months and suffered enormously through devastating losses, battle casualties, disease, and hunger. But they endured. When the time came to withdraw to the boats, it was successfully conducted through detailed planning, good communication, and disciplined military skills and tactics.

As the ANZAC’s departed, they vowed that the many feats of valour and the sacrifice of the fallen – the 8709 Australians and 2779 New Zealanders who lost their lives – would be forever remembered.

And they have been remembered. The first ANZAC Day service occurred 12 months later in 1916, and more than a century later, Australia still honours our first ANZACS and those who have followed in their footsteps in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping missions around the globe.

In 2026, the Australian Army and Navy commemorate 125 years of service. This year and also marks 75 years since the introduction of the National Service Scheme and 25 years since Australia

first committed troops to Afghanistan in the wake of the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The current conflicts in many parts of the world remind us that our safety, security and freedom cannotbetakenforgranted,andweoffergratitude to our current defence personnel who continue to serve our nation to protect our values and way of life.

I encourage everyone in Wide Bay to attend a service on Anzac Day, or take the time to pause, reflect, and remember those who have served, and have given their lives for our country. Like those who came before them, and those who continue to serve in defence of our country today, we must ensure their stories are told; their legacy is remembered; and that their courage and sacrifice are never forgotten.

Lest We Forget.

Mr O’Brien will commemorate Anzac Day at Gympie and Maryborough.

Palliative care service will not reopen, leaving gap

From page 4

A sharp decline in community donations over the latter half of 2025, combined with uncertainty around future state funding and challenges linked to its planned Stage Two expansion, ultimately proved insurmountable.

“This is a very sad day for Katie Rose Cottage Hospice. The care, kindness, and professionalism shown by the nursing team has been truly exceptional,” Mr Godwin said in the email.

“You have supported guests and families through some of life’s most difficult moments with compassion, dignity, and skill. Each of you has played an important role in creating the warm, home-like environment that Katie Rose has been known and loved for.

“You should feel incredibly proud of the difference you have made to so many lives.”

He acknowledged the emotional toll of the closure on staff and the broader community.

“We recognise this is an emotional time and we extend our sincere thanks to each of you, along with our very best wishes for the future,” he said.

“Your contribution to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice will always be valued and remembered.”

The closure leaves a significant void in

local palliative care services, particularly for families seeking home-like end-of-life support on the Sunshine Coast.

Noosa remembers the service and the sacrifices of many

From page

At Coolum, the annual Dawn Service, hosted by Coolum-Peregian RSL Sub Branch at 1906 David Low Way, will commence at 4.45am with a parade of veterans, schools, sporting and service clubs and followed by an awe-inspiring commemorative ceremony featuring school bands and choirs, keynote speakers and stories.

A gunfire breakfast will follow in the Memorial Hall, then 2Up from 8am.

ANZAC Day commemorates the anniversary of the Gallipoli landing, the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during World War I, and continues to recognise all service men and women who have followed.

Further south, a dawn service at Mooloolaba Beach will provide a moving coastal tribute, drawing crowds from across the region.

Hosted by the Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club, the 5am ceremony will feature boat crews paddling out at first light to lay wreaths on the ocean, accompanied by the haunting sound of the Last Post.

A lone horseman from the 2nd Light Horse Regiment, Woombye Troop, will ride along the shoreline in a symbolic tribute, while performances will include the Sunshine Coast Grammar School Bel Canto Choir, a didgeridoo solo and a M?ori haka honouring New Zealand service personnel.

The service, now in its 17th year, will be held slightly south of the main lifeguard tower due to ongoing foreshore redevelopment works, with organisers assuring the change will not impact the significance of the event.

Veterans wishing to march are asked to assemble at the southern club car park before 4.55am,

while those unable to attend can listen to a live broadcast on Hot 91.1FM.

Services are expected to draw strong community support, offering opportunities for reflection, remembrance and gratitude for those who have served.

Andrew puts his body on the line for epilepsy fight

By Erle Levey

Andrew Sellman had to dig deep to complete the challenge he set himself to raise awareness and funds for Epilepsy Australia.

In 2025 after recovering from dramatic surgery to stop the onset of epilepsy to a life-threatening point, the Peregian Beach landscape gardener set himself a physical and mental challenge to confront the illness - physically as well as mentally.

He wanted to complete 50km and 1000 pullups, going non-stop for 12 hours. In the process he had hoped to raise $5000 for Epilepsy Action Australia.

Instead, by the time he completed the challenge that figure had grown to more than $17,000 and it looked like they would break $20,000.

In the end Andrew raised more than $22,600. On the basis of last year’s success Andrew set

himself a greater challenge for the 2026 challenge at the end of March.

Starting at 6am he set out to attempt to run 75km and do 1500 pull-ups in 18 hours.

Among those supporting him on the day was

16-year-old Finn Watson of Doonan, who was especially looking forward to the pull-up part of the challenge.

They met the challenge and Andrew’s wife Rachel said she couldn’t be prouder.

“It was a matter of really digging deep on the last 9km of the run,’’ Rachel said.

”Andrew was trying not to vomit he was so physically exhausted. It could have been something he had been eating or drinking.

“He said more pull-ups would have been easier than the final run.’’

Andrew agreed to a final 2km, but he did the whole run at sub five minutes a kilometre for the whole 75km.

He completed the 1500 pull-ups as he set out, and Finn completed 1000 before lunchtime.

Finn had undertaken his school cross-country run the day before but provided great team support for Andrew throughout the challenge.

“What 16-year-old can do that,’’ Rachel said. “There is a real method to the pull-ups but Finn did some running as well.’’

Andrew’s effort was “incredible,’’ Rachel said.

“It got to a point when felt couldn’t do another step … he had a a blister on every toe.

“Not once did he complain, nor the next day. And he was back in the gym after that.

“He’s a special human.

“Next year he will not be physically able to physically do more … it would become dangerous.’’

So far $7304 this year Andrew has raised for Epilepsy Action Australia.

That has earned him the honor of being invited to be an ambassador for the foundation, which includes taking part in the 2026 Sydney Marathon in August.

Council still considering proposed aged care facility site

By Steve Linnell

Noosa Council’s Manager of Development Assessment Patrick Murphy says a long-running proposal for a major aged care facility in Tewantin remains under active consideration, with an extension request yet to be finalised.

“Our Development team is still working through the extension application and is in ongoing discussions with the applicant,” Mr Murphy said.

“An application will be presented to Council when it is ready to be decided.”

The update comes as the significant 17-hectare site at 82–100 McKinnon Drive continues to sit largely undeveloped, nearly 18 years after plans were first lodged.

Aged care provider Sundale initially applied to develop the site in 2007, but the proposal became tied up in a lengthy planning process.

It was refused by the former Sunshine Coast Regional Council in 2012 before being approved on appeal by the Planning and Environment Court in March 2015, subject to conditions.

While some preparatory works have been carried out, including earthworks and civil infrastructure approvals between 2018 and 2021, the broader project has yet to progress.

The development is also subject to a sunset clause imposed by the Planning and Environment Court, which applies to the entire approval and is set to expire in March 2027. Any extension to that deadline would require a separate application to the court.

The proposed development, to be known as the Bella Noosa Retirement Community and Care Centre, would feature a mix of independent living units, care apartments, cluster

It’s up to all of us: mayor

Protecting Noosa residents’ lifestyle, natural assets and value as a quality destination has been the focus of hard decisions over many decades.

They limited building heights to between two and four storeys, avoided city symbols like commercial roadside billboards, parking meters, multi-storey carparks, built roundabouts instead of traffic lights and preserved extensive tracts of land as National Park.

All these changes were contentious, but they’ve created the Noosa we all love.

This “residents and environment first” focus means that making our community a great to live, by default, also makes it a great place to visit.

But pressures continually grow. We’re facing enormous population and development growth across South-East Queensland now and in the lead up to 2032.

We’re being called upon to make hard decisions again in the long-term interests of Noosa.

The “For the Love of Noosa” Destination Management Plan (DMP) sees us all as joint custodians and outlines actions, many already underway, on how will we collectively protect Noosa’s lifestyle, natural environment, and prosperity over the decade ahead.

More than 2900 residents, business and visitors helped shape this plan over the past three years. (View on council’s website)

It signals a determination to not only protect and sustain Noosa, but to regenerate and leave it in a better state than how we found it.

How do we continue to afford to maintain Noosa to a high standard? There are plans to investigate ways visitors may contribute through a visitor levy or paid visitor parking.

Ensuring homes for residents and managing short-term accommodation (STA) has been a priority.

Planning Scheme changes created opportunities for smaller and affordable homes and limited further whole dwelling STAs in all residen-

tial, rural and business zones.

Queensland’s first and only Short-Term Letting Local Law helps protect residential amenity in our neighbourhoods. The latest quarterly STA snapshot shows over 400 STA local law approvals have been cancelled or not renewed.

There’s a continued focus on how we make it easier to get around by means other than the car, through dedicated bus lanes, more cycling and walking pathways and more equitable use of parking areas.

There’s moves to protect our natural assets through understanding their sustainable carrying capacity, using real-time sensor technology to encourage people to avoid visiting popular areas during busy periods.

To foster a deeper respect for Noosa, the “For the Love of Noosa” Kabi Kabi Commitment in-

vites visitors (and anyone) to take a pledge that recognises our role as joint custodians of this remarkable place.

The proposed Joint Custodian Program aims to help locals, businesses and visitors understand Noosa’s values and how they can protect them.

The Regenerative Agriculture Program aims to support hinterland producers, restore landscapes, produce locally and create nature based experiences.

The new Destination Stewardship Council, made up of representatives from authorities and groups with capacity to effect change, is intended to help keep us on track.

Tourism Noosa will continue to play a critical role.

Last December Noosa Council voted to evolve

Tourism Noosa to align with the DMP’s focus on destination stewardship, community values, environmental protection and measurable outcomes, not just destination marketing. Funding was approved at $2million a year over three years. Last week, council voted to allow more time to finalise specific terms of the funding deed, with Cr Nicola Wilson to work with the Council’s and TN working group on the KPIs.

According to recent data, 54 per cent of guests are day visitors contributing 8 per cent of the estimated $1.7B annual visitor spend, with 46 per cent of overnight stayers contributing 92 per cent. Part of TN’s role is to target interstate and international travellers to ensure this high yield market- and the spend that so many Noosa families rely upon- remains strong.

Noosa launches 10-year plan to protect Noosa region

By Steve Linnell

Noosa Council has released its 10-year For the Love of Noosa Destination Management Plan (DMP), outlining a long-term strategy to protect the region’s unique lifestyle, environment and economy while managing future growth.

The plan, now available online, is the result of more than three years of consultation, with over 2900 residents, businesses and visitors contributing to its development.

Mayor Frank Wilkie said the DMP reflects a shared vision for Noosa’s future and promotes a sense of collective responsibility.

“More than 2900 people helped shape this plan about the type of community and visitor economy we want and it’s accessible for every-

one,” Cr Wilkie said.

The document sets out how Noosa will respond to key challenges in the coming decade, including population growth across South East Queensland and increased visitation associated with the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Cr Wilkie said the plan aims to preserve what makes Noosa special while preparing for future opportunities.

“This document will guide how we address the challenges and opportunities ahead while preserving the things our community values,” he said.

A key feature of the DMP is its focus on regenerative tourism, a model that seeks not only to sustain but improve the natural and cultural qualities of a destination.

Central to this approach is the idea of “joint custodianship” , recognising that residents, businesses and visitors all play a role in protecting Noosa’s assets.

With the plan now endorsed, Council is moving into the implementation phase, with several initiatives already underway or set to begin.

These include the rollout of a Joint Custodian Program to educate and engage the community and visitors, and a Regenerative Agriculture Program designed to support hinterland producers, restore landscapes and create new nature-based experiences.

A new Destination Stewardship Council will also be established to guide the region’s visitor economy, strengthen partnerships and explore funding opportunities, while annual monitor-

ing and reporting will ensure the plan remains responsive and accountable.

Cr Wilkie said the next stage would rely on ongoing collaboration.

“This is a long-term effort that will evolve as we learn, trial new approaches and work closely with the community,” he said.

“With shared stewardship and ongoing monitoring, we can ensure the Noosa we love is nurtured for generations to come.”

The DMP is supported by a three-year rolling implementation roadmap and a monitoring framework to track progress, with the full plan available on Council’s website for community review.

Fuel woes create uncertainty

By Steve Linnell

Tourism operators across Noosa are bracing for potential impacts from the ongoing fuel crisis, with industry leaders warning of rising costs, shifting traveller behaviour and growing uncertainty.

Tourism Noosa CEO Sharon Raguse said a recent industry briefing highlighted the varied ways businesses across Queensland are being affected.

The online session, hosted by the Queensland Tourism Industry Council and attended by Senator Green on April 10, brought together operators to discuss the financial and operational challenges emerging from the fuel supply issues.

“SometourismoperatorsacrossQueensland are implementing fuel surcharges to maintain profit margins as they face increased charges from their own suppliers,” Ms Raguse said.

She said the fuel crisis is compounding broader economic pressures, including rising inflation, recent interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia and changes to junior wage laws impacting the retail sector.

Despite concerns in some parts of the state, Ms Raguse said Noosa may be better positioned than other destinations.

“While some tourism destinations across Queensland are concerned that economic impacts of the fuel crisis are worse than COVID, there’s a sense that Noosa is better insulated than others due to our consistent targeting of high-value travellers from Sydney and Melbourne,” she said.

“Our marketing campaigns, including with aviation partners, means less reliance on Queensland’s drive markets.”

Fuel supply issues remain inconsistent across the state, with some regional areas already experiencing shortages.

“Service stations in some regional areas are already dry, however so far, we aren’t as strongly impacted by that here in Noosa,” Ms Raguse said.

She noted the effects are being felt most acutely in rural tourism markets, particularly among caravan travellers and grey nomads who depend heavily on reliable fuel access.

Within Noosa, the impact has been mixed, particularly across the tours and experiences sector.

“While some local tours are reporting strong bookings through the school holidays, other experiences that usually attract overseas visitors are seeing a decline in bookings, with some travellers cancelling due to the Middle

East conflict,” she said. “There appears to be a trend toward last-minute bookings and some operators having to pass on temporary fuel surcharges to consumers to counter rising costs.”

The briefing also highlighted a softening in international travel sentiment to Queensland, particularly from the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, although visitors are still travelling for now, often taking longer routes due to restricted airspace over the Middle East.

“It is anticipated that this may slow should aviation fuel costs increase the cost of flying, however Australia is well known for and still considered a safe destination, which works in our favour,” Ms Raguse said.

International visitors currently account for about seven per cent of Noosa’s total tourism market, with no major downturn expected in the immediate term. However, Ms Raguse said the global outlook remains uncertain and could shift quickly. The meeting also indicated Australians may be less inclined to travel overseas in coming months, instead opting for domestic holidays.

“With a timely winter campaign into Sydney and Melbourne launching in May, this will hopefully be advantageous for tourism-reliant businesses in Noosa and help them weather this latest external shock to the sector,” she said.

Police warning over number plate thefts across the region

By Steve Linnell

Police are urging Sunshine Coast motorists to take simple steps to protect their vehicles following a spike in number plate thefts across the region.

More than 25 number plates have been reported stolen since April 1, prompting concerns about the flow-on impact of these offences within the community.

Authorities say while a range of factors may

be contributing to the increase, rising fuel costs could be placing financial pressure on some individuals, potentially leading to more opportunistic crimes.

Stolen plates are commonly used to avoid identification in offences such as fuel drive-offs, toll evasion and other property-related crimes, making them particularly attractive to offenders.

Police are encouraging drivers to install anti-theft, or one-way, screws to secure their plates and reduce the risk of theft.

“These screws are a simple but effective deterrent,” a police spokesperson said.

“They are designed to fit all vehicle types, can be installed with a standard flat-head screwdriver, and are difficult to remove without specialised tools.”

Motorists are also being advised to park in locked garages where possible and avoid leaving vehicles unsecured on the street overnight.

Police said number plate theft not only inconveniences vehicle owners but can also result in

significant time and financial costs, while contributing to broader criminal activity in the community.

Anti-theft screws are available from selected hardware stores and automotive retailers.

Anyone needing assistance removing or replacing their number plates can attend their nearest police station or a Department of Transport and Main Roads service centre.

Police are reminding residents to “turn the screws on crime” by securing their plates.

Now Open! Sunrise Beach Surgery

The perfect match

By Jim Fagan

The Beatles were belting out “Love Me Do” when a young South African university student, Jeremy Martin, walked into Jacky Martin’s life 63 years ago at a party in Oxford.

“And he’s still there,” Jacky laughingly told Noosa Today as she and Jeremy, of Tewantin, prepared for their trip to South Africa to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary next Thursday (April 30) with family and friends.

Jacky was 23 and Jeremy 25 when they met. They were married in Cornwall where Jacky was born and later moved to Johannesburg where Jeremy worked as a data processing (it wasn’t called IT then!) manager for the Star newspaper.

Jacky continued with her career as a French teacher, something she was to do for 50 years in England, South Africa and Australia.

In 1984 the couple returned to England. “We were not in favour of apartheid,” said Jacky. “We stayed there for 23 years but we kept going back because we love it so much.”

Singing has been an enjoyable part of their life together. Jeremy has had leading roles in amateur musicals and operettas and all her life Jacky has sung in choirs.

They came to Australia in 15 years ago to be close to their two children, Peta and Simon, and cousins who live on the Sunshine Coast. They settled in Tewantin and, shortly after, they saw that Noosa Chorale was performing Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man” and Puccini’s “Messe di Gloria” at the Bicentennial Hall so they went along.

“We saw a notice in the programme inviting singers to join. John Woodlock was president at the time and he and his wife Yvonne were very welcoming. Everyone was so friendly, we felt at home.”

They both enjoy choir practice and at this moment are rehearsing for the Chorale’s “Viva Vivaldi” concerts on May 22 and 23 “You might feel tired during the day but when you go to practice you become so absorbed you come out feel-

ing so much better,” said Jacky.

They also joined U3A when they arrived here and are still active members, Jeremy looking after the Monday morning session on opera and Jacky the Tuesday morning singalong when members meet and sing popular songs.

So what are the values that have underpinned such a successful and happy marriage?

“A sense of humour,” laughed Jacky, “and a lot of give and take.”

Mumbled Jeremy: “Depends on who gives and who takes,”

Whatever the reason, a chance meeting that started with The Beatles “Love Me Do” has morphed into, to borrow another Beatles classic, a lifetime of “All You Need Is Love.”

Deed decision delayed

Noosa Council has pushed back its decision on a funding Deed with Tourism Noosa (TN) until June meetings after rejecting it in its current form and deciding KPIs needed further refinement to address councillor concerns.

At its ordinary meeting last week councillors voted unanimously not to adopt the Deed in its current form, and to appoint Cr Nicola Wilson to the Deed working group for KPI development and finalisation. Councillors also noted their Destination Management Plan (DMP) was supported by a monitoring and evaluation framework and council would publish results of progress against TN’s KPIs and the broader outcomes of the DMP annually.

Burgess Creek action can’t wait

By Cr Amelia Lorentson

(Please note: This article reflects my personal views and what I said at the Ordinary meeting. It does not represent the official position of Noosa Council.)A. Not

At this month’s Council meeting, I brought forward a Notice of Motion to bring Unitywater and other key stakeholders together to investigate immediate short-term erosion management options at Burgess Creek and to begin a fair and reasonable cost-sharing conversation for any possible solutions. The motion passed 4:3 — supported by Councillors Lorentson, Phillips, Wilson and Wilkie, with Councillors Finzel, Stockwell and Wegener opposed. It should not have been a close vote. The situation at Burgess Creek is now too serious, too visible, and, in my opinion, too costly to ignore.

This is not a new issue. In 2022, Council supported my earlier Notice of Motion directing both short-term and long-term erosion management planning for Burgess Creek. That direction was clear. Yet we are now in 2026, and the underlying problems remain unresolved. The community has waited four years for meaningful action while the system has continued to deteriorate.

For the past two years, I’ve been meeting Sunrise Beach residents at the creek mouth — listening, observing, and documenting what is happening on the ground. I have repeatedly sent photos, updates, and resident concerns to Council to ensure the reality on the ground is understood. The creek mouth continues to shift and cut through the dunes, restricting access and placing sustained pressure on the dunal system. The discharge flow is now moving southward, spreading across the beach and leaving little to no space for families to sit. At times, the flow moves close to the beach access stairs, making access difficult.

The dunal system is not just sand. It is natural coastal infrastructure. It protects our shoreline, supports biodiversity, and provides a buffer for public assets, including David Low Way. When the dunes are compromised, the environmental, safety, and financial risks increase rapidly — and the cost of inaction grows.

And importantly, the Sunrise Beach commu-

nity wants its beach back.

Our current “wait and see” or “as-needed” approach is not long-term planning. It is reactive management — and reactive management is always more expensive, less effective, and less fair to the community. The impacts at Burgess Creek are no longer occasional or unpredictable. They are consistent, visible, and escalating.

This is also a fairness issue. Flows into Burgess Creek are influenced by external sources, including treated wastewater discharges, stormwater, and legacy nightsoil systems. Ratepayers should not be left carrying the full cost of repeated interventions when some of the drivers of the problem extend beyond Council’s control. That is why my motion requests the CEO to formally bring Unitywater and all relevant stakeholders together to look at immediate options and begin a fair and reasonable cost-sharing conversation.

Unitywater was notified ahead of the meeting,

and its CEO — who is well aware of the issues at Burgess Creek — indicated a willingness to engage. I appreciate that openness and constructive approach.

Some have suggested that we should wait for the Burgess Creek Integrated Catchment Management Plan. I acknowledge that work and the State funding secured through former State candidate and former Mayor Clare Stewart. It is important work, and it will guide long-term solutions. But it cannot be the reason we delay practical action now. The system is too fragile, and the risks to access and infrastructure are too high to wait for a perfect long-term plan before acting on the immediate issues in front of us.

The reality is simple: We need immediate, coordinated, on-the-ground action while the long-term plan is developed. We cannot keep waiting.

This is about more than erosion. It goes to

the heart of who we are as a community. In every liveability survey, year after year, our natural environment is ranked as the most valued aspect of living in Noosa. It is central to our identity — we are different by nature. Our dunal systems are part of that identity. They are living infrastructure that protect our coastline, our biodiversity, and our way of life.

And residents deserve a beach that is accessible, safe, and usable — a community asset enjoyed not only by Sunrise Beach residents but by people right across the shire.

This motion is about shifting from reactive responses to a coordinated long-term approach. It is about ensuring fair and reasonable cost-sharing so our residents are not left carrying the full burden for issues influenced by other stakeholders. And it is about opening this conversation now — not in another season or another year — so we can protect our dunes, safeguard public assets, and do what is right for our community.

Clarifying Tourism funding after council meeting confusion

By Cr Amelia Lorentson

There has been considerable confusion following this week’s Ordinary Meeting, so it is important to clearly set out what Council did — and did not — decide.

To be clear, I did not support the decision to commit Council to a three-year, $6 million ($2 million per year) funding arrangement for Tourism Noosa. That decision was made in December 2025 and was tightly divided — a 3:3 split — carried by the Mayor’s casting vote. I did not support it at the time, but I accept the position of Council. It is now a binding commitment and is not being revisited.

This funding is collected through general rates applied to commercial properties, tourism-related businesses, and short-term accommodation providers. Once collected, regardless of its source, it becomes public money. That carries clear expectations around transparency, accountability, and demonstrated outcomes.

What Council considered this week was not the funding itself, but the next stage — the Funding and Performance Agreement. This is the framework that determines how the $6 million is governed, what it is intended to achieve, and how performance will be measured over the life of the agreement.

As I said in the chamber, supporting an organisation through funding does not mean accepting weak governance settings. In fact, it requires the opposite.

This is a significant public commitment. Once the agreement is finalised, Council’s ability to change it will be limited. That makes it essential that the framework is robust now, while there is still an opportunity to strengthen it.

The December decision was not a clear consensus of Council, and that context matters. Where decisions are so finely balanced, it is even more important that the implementation framework is precise, measurable, and accountable.

At the same time, we cannot underestimate the importance of the visitor economy to Noosa. It plays a significant role in supporting local economic activity and a wide range of businesses across the region.

However, tourism outcomes are not driven by marketing alone. They are shaped by a complex system of external factors — including infrastructure capacity, transport access, accommodation supply, planning and environmental settings, and broader global economic conditions. These are shared responsibilities across multiple levels of government and industry.

That is why clarity is critical.

Tourism Noosa is a marketing organisation. Its role is to promote the destination and support sustainable visitation aligned with Noosa’s brand and values. It is not, and cannot be, responsible for every outcome that flows from tourism activity.

When roles are not clearly defined, accountability becomes blurred. It becomes difficult for both Council and the community to understand what is being delivered, and what success actually looks like.

My concern is straightforward: without clear, enforceable KPIs, we risk committing significant public funds without being able to properly demonstrate what they achieve.

Value for money is not optional when dealing with public money. This $6 million ($2 million per year over three years) must be tied to outcomes that are clear, measurable, and able to be assessed over time.

This matters even more in the current environment. Community expectations around tourism are changing. There is a growing view that tourism must be actively managed to balance economic benefit with liveability, environmental protection, and community wellbeing. At the same time, there are differing views within the community about the scale and direction of tourism in Noosa.

Importantly, Tourism Noosa is not just promoting visitation — it is also influencing the

type and quality of visitors coming to the region. That shift means tourism is no longer only about increasing numbers; it is also about reflecting the values and expectations of the community.

We are a mature destination, and with that comes complexity. Expectations are no longer uniform. Some in the community are focused on growth and promotion, while others are increasingly concerned with managing impacts and maintaining balance.

That is why Council must be clear about the role it is asking a marketing organisation to play. If expectations extend beyond what that role can reasonably deliver, we risk setting up ambiguity in accountability and performance assessment. Clear, role-specific KPIs are essential. Without them, it becomes difficult to fairly assess performance or demonstrate whether public funds are delivering value.

Tourism Noosa’s core responsibility should remain focused on sustainable destination marketing aligned with Noosa’s brand and values, while broader destination management and system settings remain with Council and other levels of government.

Ultimately, this is not just about marketing. It is about stewardship of a destination that is evolving and under increasing pressure to balance competing expectations. The $6 million investment over three years ($2 million per year) must support a visitor economy that reflects community values, strengthens local businesses, and protects the natural and social values that define Noosa.

This week’s decision, supported unanimously, was to return the Funding and Performance Agreement for strengthening — particularly around KPIs and performance measures — before it comes back to Council in June.

That is the appropriate step.

This is not about revisiting the funding decision. That was made in December 2025 and is binding. It is about ensuring that the framework we now lock in is clear, robust, and capable of delivering measurable outcomes for the community over its full term.

Sustainable home ideas

Curious about how your home can be more comfortable, cost-effective and climate-smart? Sustainable House Day 2026 is your chance to see it in action.

On Sunday 17 May, Sunshine Coast residents can tour some of the region’s most inspiring homes, from clever retrofits to efficient all-electric designs.

Organised nationally by Renew and supported locally by Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN), Sustainable House Day is all about learning from real homes and real experiences. Visitors get the chance to step inside homes, see practical solutions in action and talk directly with homeowners about their journey toward more efficient living.

Seeing these changes in someone else’s home can be surprisingly eye-opening. Many visitors discover that improvements they once thought were complicated or expensive can actually be practical, achievable and worthwhile.

One of the highlights this year will be Cottonwood in Noosa, reopening its doors again after being a favourite with visitors last year.

Homeowner Mark will once again welcome visitors and share his experience of living in a home adapted to be more energy efficient. Cottonwood is a great example of how thoughtful changes to an existing home can improve comfort while reducing running costs and environmental impact. Through a series of upgrades, Mark has transitioned his home toward an all-electric setup, supported by renewable energy systems and smart energy management.

Visitors will have the opportunity to learn firsthand about:

more resilient to rising energy costs. In some cases, with the right setup, households can even generate more energy than they use, feeding it back into the grid to generate a small income while helping increase the supply of clean energy for the wider community. Sustainable House Day is not only about showcasing new technologies. It also demonstrates that every step counts. Even small improvements can make a meaningful difference, and seeing what others have done often inspires people to begin their own journey.

ZEN volunteers will also be present to answer questions and point visitors toward additional information and local initiatives supporting sustainable living in the Noosa region.

Energy and water-efficient features that help reduce consumption without sacrificing comfort;

Whether you are planning to renovate, build, electrify your home or simply want to learn more, Sustainable House Day offers a rare opportunity to see these ideas working in real homes.

Other homes in the region that will be open on the day include a small beachfront home at Sunshine Beach and ‘the better energy lab’ home at Sunrise Beach.

Renewable energy systems, including solar generation and battery storage; and Costs and cost savings, and how improvements can pay back over time.

Importantly, Cottonwood is not just about technology — it is about real experience. Mark can share not only the technical side of the upgrades, but also what it actually feels like to live in a more efficient home day to day.

Many people discover that improving a home’s energy performance brings unexpected benefits. Along with better indoor comfort and lower energy bills, homes can become

Mark your calendar for Sunday 17 May 2026 and take the opportunity to explore what is possible, one open door at a time. Be sure to book your visit early, as time slots for home tours are limited. Go to sustainablehouseday. com for more information and to book your tour.

Pitting the unbridled chaos of Anne Edmonds against Kitty Flanagan’s delightfully deadpan wit, this new character-driven sitcom – set in an avant-garde inner-city theatre company – is a match made in comedy heaven. The hilarious headliners are respectively cast as artistic director Margie and corporate cost-cutter Julia, who nd themselves at odds when the latter is tasked with saving the failing Argyle Theatre. While Margie believes staging her most experimental show yet is the key to success, Julia sets her sights on downsizing to get the Argyle’s nances back in the black. Created by Edmonds and directed by Fisk’s Tom Peterson, this playful satire puts the “fun” in dysfunctional.

Music in warm Cairns air

Music is in the air in Cairns this winter with the internationally acclaimed Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM) is inviting music lovers to experience world-class chamber music with five-star stays and tastes in tropical CairnsGimuy.

From 24 July to 1 August 2026, over nine glorious winter days in Cairns, AFCM will turn the Far North Queensland capital into a global chamber music capital, where world-class musicians, once-in-a-lifetime performances and unforgettable experiences unfold against the backdrop of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef.

Festival fans planning their tropical chamber music escape can now secure accommodation through a special partnership with Crystalbrook Collection Hotels and Resorts in Cairns.

Special rates across its three locations have been announced, with each hotel and resort in easy walking distance of the Cairns Performing Arts Centre and the city’s vibrant waterfront dining precinct.

Guests can choose from art-inspired stays at Crystalbrook Bailey, the lively social energy of Crystalbrook Flynn, or the relaxed resort atmosphere of Crystalbrook Riley.

Each hotel offers sustainable five-star comfort, distinctive design and the perfect base to enjoy nine unforgettable days of music, culture and tropical winter sunshine.

“Forget everything you think you know about classical music, because a whole new experience is taking place this year in Cairns,” said Artistic Director and acclaimed British violinist Jack Liebeck.

Heading south for the winter

Tourism Tasmania has launched the 2026 iteration of its award-winning Off Season campaign, showcasing more than 500 bookable offers and events, and inviting Australians to ‘become a winter person’

Now in its sixth year, the campaign aims to attract tourists during Tasmania’s cooler months from May to August – supporting year-round tourism by smoothing travel demand into traditionally quieter periods.

The campaign leans into Tasmania’s bold winter identity, celebrating those who embrace the cold rather than endure it. Featuring striking portraits of “winter people” , the creative positions winter in Tasmania as energising, off-beat, restorative and – a little bit magical – offering experiences found nowhere else in Australia, or in Tasmania at other times of the year.

The campaign promotes more than 500 Off Season offers and events, developed in collaboration with tourism operators across the island – many created specifically for, or only accessible during, Tasmania’s cooler months.

These experiences range from cosy, luxe and cheeky clothing-optional stays to deep wilderness expeditions, floating sauna, contrast therapy and meditation experiences, alongside indulgent culinary offerings including long-table feasts, black truffle degustations, ocean-to-plate seafood, and whisky, wine and mulled cider tastings.

Experiences will also come alive under Tasmania’s long winter nights and dramatic landscapes – from dark-sky cruises and bioluminescence tours to nocturnal wildlife encounters, stargazing and immersive storytelling, as well as mountain biking, snow, foraging, fungi and fossicking adventures, farm goat and wine dog escapades, scavenger hunts and hands-on workshops spanning photography, sculpting, carving, knit-

ting, stone painting and seasonal scent-blending.

A bumper calendar of distinctive festivals and events, including Dark Mofo, Beaker Street Festival, Tasmanian Whisky Week and the Nude Solstice Swim, further showcases the diversity, depth, breadth and otherworldly atmosphere of a Tasmanian winter.

Tourism Tasmania CEO Sarah Kingston-Clark said Tasmania’s Off Season continues to resonate with travellers seeking distinctive, experience-led holidays.

“This year’s Off Season campaign invites Australians to ‘become a winter person’ – to lean into the chill and become awakened, restored and transformed by Tasmania’s winter.

“Experiences are at the heart of the Off Season, and this campaign is a true collaboration with Tasmania’s tourism industry,” she said.

“Operators across the island have created a diverse range of offers and events designed specifically for the cooler months – unlocking moments that are quintessentially Tasmanian and can only be experienced at this time of year.

“There are so many creative and distinctive ways to become a winter person in Tasmania – whether through vibrant and provocative festivals, cosy and quirky escapes and immersive after-dark experiences, or time spent in nature paired with warming whisky and wine, fire-lit feasts, outdoor saunas, hands-on workshops and guided wilderness journeys.

“We look forward to welcoming more Australians to become winter people this year – and to welcoming back the many returning winter converts who have already fallen in love with the Off Season in previous years.”

Exhibition Afghanistan

Noosa Regional Gallery is proud to present Afghanistan, a national touring exhibition of photographs by internationally renowned, award-winning photojournalist and author Andrew Quilty, curated by Ellie Waterhouse. Opening on the eve of ANZAC Day, this compelling exhibition offers a poignant reminder of our shared humanity amid today’s unsettling global conflicts.

Having lived in Kabul from 2013 to 2022, Quilty brings an extraordinary depth of insight to a country often framed solely through the lens of war. His photographs capture the complex fabric of daily life, revealing not only the hardship endured by Afghan civilians but also their resilience, hope and individuality. Quilty describes his work as an “imperfect portrait of time and place,” shaped by witnessing the experiences of people for whom “innocence nor neutrality were enough to protect them from the war.”

Visitors to the opening will have the rare opportunity to meet Quilty in person and hear firsthand about the stories and relationships that underpin his work.

Curator Ellie Waterhouse notes that Quilty’s long-term, lived experience in Afghanistan gives his images a strong sense of authenticity. “His storytelling becomes an act of advocacy, education and deep reflection within our communities,” she says.

Afghanistan invites audiences to look beyond the headlines and engage thoughtfully with the lived realities of those navigating conflict and change- a particularly meaningful reflection as the nation prepares to mark ANZAC Day.

Afghanistan is a Museums & Galleries Queensland (M&G QLD) touring exhibition presented in partnership with photojournalist and author Andrew Quilty, and curator Ellie Waterhouse. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program. It is proudly sponsored by Heckler and supported by Human Rights Watch.

M&G QLD is supported by the Queensland

Government through Arts Queensland.

The exhibition will be officially opened by Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie on Friday 24 April 5.30-7.30pm.

An In Conversation event with Noosa Re-

gional Gallery Director, Michael Brennan joined by exhibiting artist, Australian photojournalist Andrew Quilty, and Afghanistan Curator Ellie Waterhouse will be held from 4.305.14pm, prior to the opening.

A film to remember and a feast to savour at festival

By Erle Levey

produce from across the region:

Expect laughter, shared conversation and a warm sense of community as Slow Food Noosa and Surrounds showcases the incredible producers and flavours of the region with a Film and Food Night at Kandanga as a highlight of GourMay, the month-long festival in the Mary Valley.

There’s something truly special about gathering around a table sharing food, stories and connection.

As part of GourMay 2026, Slow Food Noosa and Surrounds is presenting a memorable evening in the heart of the Mary Valley on Friday, 8 May, where a beautiful film and an exceptional meal come together.

Slow Food Noosa’s much-loved Film with Food Night will feature the Oscar-winning Babette’s Feast, a moving story of generosity and transformation, where an extraordinary meal becomes an unforgettable act of gratitude.

As the film unfolds between courses, you’ll be drawn into a rich, sensory experience that celebrates the joy of food and community.

A menu worth savouring will be presented by local chef Dannielle Young of The Noosa Forager, who has created a thoughtful threecourse dinner showcasing the best seasonal

Entree: Vegetarian tart with pesto, Kenilworth cheese, roasted pumpkin, tomatoes and macadamias;

Main: Slow-roasted K2 beef brisket from Kandanga Farm Store with seasonal greens and potato galette;

Dessert: Sticky date pudding with Kenilworth Dairy cream.

Every dish celebrates fresh, locally sourced ingredients and brings the Slow Food ethos to life on each plate.

Gather friends, make a night of it, and join in for an evening in the warmth of the Kandanga Hall that will linger long after the final scene.

For more than a century, this versatile venue has served as the heart of Kandanga, hosting social events, dances, meetings, and emergency services. The hall remains a key heritage site and a hub for the community.

In addition to local events, the hall accommodated cinema shows and later, in 1942, was associated with the 400-seat Kandanga Talkies picture palace.

Natasha in converation

Annie’s Books on Peregian will present Natasha Lester, Australia’s most popular writer of historical fiction, to a Literary Lunch, in conversation with Hayley Saunders, on Friday 1 May from 12pm at Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

Natasha Lester is the author of 10 historical novels which have achieved great success here and around the world, available in over 20 languages. She is a book club favourite and a New York Times bestselling author. Prior to her writing career, Natasha worked in marketing for L’Oreal. She lives in Western Australia with her husband and three children, and will always have a deep passion for all things French. The event is a perfect opportunity to celebrate Mother’s Day with the women in your life – mother, daughter, aunt, grandmother or best friend.

Lester’s latest book, The Chateau on Sunset, tells the story of a sheltered young woman liv-

ing at the Chateau Marmont who falls under the spell of a scandalous, secretive man as all of Hollywood’s glamour swirls around her in a stunning feminist reimagining of Jane Eyre from the New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Seamstress.

In 1957, newly orphaned Aria Jones is sent to live with her aunt, a fading star who hides away in Hollywood’s infamous Chateau Marmont. There, two aspiring actresses, Calliope and Flitter, take the grieving Aria under their wing.

But the Marmont isn’t meant for small girls with big hearts, and Aria’s first few nights reveal an insidious secret that continues to haunt her as she grows up in the hotel’s halls, where the bright lights of Hollywood cast even darker shadows. If Aria can just stay invisible and invite no trouble as she saves money, then she can leave the Marmont and live life on her own terms - alone but free.

Her carefully laid plans fall apart when the hotel is bought by Theo Winchester, a reclusive rock star turned unexpected caretaker of his daughter, Adele, and unlike any man Aria has met before. To earn the last bit of money she needs to escape, Aria becomes Adele’s tutor, which brings Aria closer to Theo and ignites a passion she never expected.

Suddenly, Aria finds herself wondering if she still wants to remain invisible, and if inviting trouble is a risk she’s willing to take to pursue what she truly desires.

Bookings are essential to the event. Cost $75 per person.

Sublime Fest returns with three days of live music

By Steve Linnell

A popular regional music festival is set to return bigger and better in 2026, with Sublime Fest locked in for a three-day run from May 1–3 at Sublime Farm & Brewery.

Set among fruit trees at the Kia Ora venue, the festival offers a relaxed alternative to large-scale commercial events, combining live original music with a laid-back country atmosphere just a short drive from Noosa.

The 2026 line-up features a mix of local talent and touring acts including BULLHORN, Wanderers, Hat Fitz & Cara, Karise Eden, Band of Frequencies, THUMP, Sunny Coast Rude Boys and Clearwater – The Creedence Revival Show.

Performances will run throughout each day and into the evening, alongside food vendors and a fully licensed bar offering craft beer, cock-

tails and wine.

Event organiser Richie Eyles said the festival continues to evolve as a destination experience for locals and visitors alike.

“Sublime Fest is about creating something genuine — a place where people can come together, enjoy great live music and experience the region,” he said.

“It’s not a big commercial event, it’s something more personal.”

Beyond the music, the venue is also taking steps toward sustainability, with plans underway for a solar installation and battery storage system aimed at transitioning to an off-grid power supply.

Mr Eyles said the move is as much about reliability as it is about environmental benefits.

“Like many regional venues, we’ve been

hamstrung by the escalating cost of electricity and its reliability,” he said.

“We’ve lost count of the number of days over the past 12 months where the grid has been shut down due to storms or maintenance — often during our busiest times.

“Moving toward an off-grid setup allows us to keep operating when the grid is down, while also freeing up funds to support local artists and improve the overall visitor experience.”

Located within easy reach of Tin Can Bay, Rainbow Beach, K’gari, Gympie and the Mary Valley, the festival encourages visitors to explore the region by day before returning for live music into the evening.

A limited number of onsite camping options will be available, with tickets on sale now. Single-day passes start from $44, while three-day passes are available from $99.

Noosa win all three

By Julian Pitts

The Rococo Noosa Tigers have played a terrific standard of football to thrash Brisbane rivals Wilston Grange by 13 goals in front of a strong home crowd last Saturday. The Tigers quick ball movement and outstanding pressure was just too much for the gorillas the entire day, treating the Tiger faithful to some champagne footy on our annual Ladies Day function. The Tiger domination started in the middle as young local ruckman Paddy Monk was superb in giving onballers, Tilley, Rory McKenzie and Willoughby first use of the footy. Sam Tilley was just everywhere amassing well over 30 possessions and hardly wasting one of them. Rory McKenzie continues to wow the Noosa fans with his poise and ball use with the footy in hand as he too like Tilley found the ball at will. Up forward Enrique Mazzeo bagged 4 whilst skipper Rhys Free and the dangerous around goal Mav Pettigrove booted 3 majors also in another impressive display.

The back six also very miserly and structured with Jellyman Turner and the Shanks boys once again among the tigers best. Jelly man Turner in particular giving plenty of run and leadership throughout the entire day.

All in all just a complete performance with arch rivals Maroochydore heading to Weyba rd this Saturday for our annual Anzac Day clash. Just a must see. And I wouldn’t put it past this young Tiger outfit to cause a boil over!

The development team were super impressive also with a 15 goal demolition of Grange. Youngster Nste Payse was terrific once again as was returning star Tom’Primetrain’ Baulch who bagged 4 and set up many others to ofcourse push his place for Senior selection on Anzac Day. Rhys Tarling was as good as always whilst Finn Collison and Max Marsh were among the best also.

Brainy’s boys got the day off to a great start with a hard fought win over a pretty formidable Grange outfit. Fred Hamilton was the Tigers best but I also loved the game of Zion Kendall who continues to shine week in and week out.

A wonderful Ladies Day had by all who attended and a massive thank you to all those that had a hand in organising the day.

It doesn’t get any bigger this week as we come up against arch rivals Maroochydore on Anzac Day. Our Senior Women open their season against defending Premiers Caloundra at Caloundra and our youth teams are all up and going.

Just great to have footy back at

Rugby tour

Last weekend our U10s Noosa Dolphins played away on their first rugby tour to Armidale, New South Wales, a long seven hours from Noosa. This was a wonderful opportunity to play different teams from country NSW. The boys were matched against Central Coast Grammar, Inverell Highlanders, Merewether Carlton, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and TAS Armidale.

Our Noosa team was one of the smaller sized ones in the carnival, but that didn’t stop the boys from competing, with some fantastic rugby played by all. They muscled up against much larger teams and showed amazing courage. The Dolphins’ boys won four of the seven games, ending the carnival with a great victory.

Most importantly, the bonds and friendships developed over the weekend carnival demonstrated what junior sports is all about, and it massively galvanised them as a team. It was so much fun for all to be involved in and was accompanied by fantastic commitment by all the Dolphins families.

A special mention to Archie Llyod taking out the MVP for Noosa Dolphins; he displayed outstanding never-give-up attitude in every game.

Cunnamulla School Surf

By Ron Lane

Martial Arts.

There is great news for the sporting fraternity of the Noosa Shire. Sophie Innis of the Karate Noosa Shotokan Club, in an outstanding performance, has won the Australian Open Gold Medal in the Kumite (Sparring) Division for girls for 2026.

What makes this performance so outstanding, is that it is the fourth year in a row, that Sophie has won the gold medal at the Australian Championships in the Kumite Division. Her previous three wins were achieved while contesting the Kumite event in the junior Divisions for girls.

A very proud Sensei (teacher) Bryan Dukas Black Belt 6th Dan Head Instructor of the Noosa Club brings us up to date on the achievements of this remarkable young athlete. “Sophie has come off a massive 2025 with wins in the State Championships, Australian Open, Australian Nationals, Philippines Open and the Oceania Championships. There seems to be no stopping her: her hard work and dedication is amazing. She trains extremely hard while keeping humble. Her key to success is consistency.”

On behalf of all sport fans, in the Noosa Shire, we wish this young lady and Sensei Bryan Dukas, a very big - well done.

Surf Lifesaving.

In what must be classed as one of the most successful surf lifesaving education programs ever instigated in Queensland, the program presently under way at the Noosa club has it all.

“The Noosa Heads Surf Lifsaving Club (NHSLSC),” said Craig Burton General Manager, “is proud to welcome students and teachers from Cunnamulla State School for a week long Program.” The group consists of 18 Indigenous youth and support teachers who will transition from the outback to the ocean and undergo intensive surf lifesaving education and development.

The week will focus on building vital surf safety skills, first aid knowledge and self-confidence through formal training with the end results being each student will earn their First Aid and CPR Certificate. The aim in the future is to culminate the week in a significant milestone when the participants will join a formal patrol on Noosa’s Main Beach subject to grants and fund-raising support.

“This initiative recognises that we do not all start at the same access level,’’ said Steve Mawby, a key driver of the initiative. “It intentionally cultivates opportunities for historically underrepresented groups to engage with surf lifesaving, moving beyond just sport to build connection wellbeing and potential employment pathways.”

The program is a collaborative effort involving several stakeholders and led locally by Cunnamulla State School Principal Jeanette Gemmell and Deputy Principal Jon Gemmell, both long-term members of NHSLSC. “The opportunity that this will provide these students is something that they would not normally be exposed to bringing an experience into their lives that they will never forget,” says Jon.

It is supported by experienced club members, Jack Lewis and Steve Mawby, who visited the school in late March to build trust and connection prior to the student’s arrival, and provides an opportunity for connecting with local indigenous groups at both Cunnamulla and Noosa for sharing history culture and practice.

Community support was provided by the Seahorse Inclusion Foundation which raised initial funds for the program during World Inclusion Day in late 2025. Surf Life Saving Queensland has thrown their support to the initiative.

Locally a number of local businessmen have been instrumental in hosting and program delivery including Habitat Noosa, Betty’s Burgers, BCC Noosa, Nalu Productions and Go Ride a Wave. This program aligns with the Strategic Plans of both Surf Life Saving Australia and Surf Life Saving Queensland reinforcing a commitment to First Nations collaboration and the goal of zero preventable deaths in Australian waters.

The Noosa Heads SLSC is a leader in community education and diversity initiatives. With a strong volunteer base and a commitment to inclusion, the club continues to develop programs that ensure that the beach is a safe and welcome place for everyone regardless of their background. A major area of the club is providing Surf Education to schools in the area as well as many from our regions and as far as Brisbane.

For over 15 years the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club has provided community education programs to local and regional schools, with over 35 schools participating from all over Southeast Queensland. As a surf lifesaving club we believe it is our responsibility to not only indicate safe swimming areas, but to increase the skills of its members and the public.

For students who live in coastal areas and frequently spend time near water, it’s crucial to learn basic water safety and survival skills tailored to their local beaches and waterways. The goal of the school education program is to provide children with the skills and resources that they need to engage in aquatic activities, particularly in a surf environment -with confidence and to increase their understanding of water safety.

There is no better place to learn than on one of the most iconic beaches in Australia. With this in mind the Surf Education Program provides students with the opportunity to gain confidence in the in the water through various aquatic activities. Students participate weekly in activities designed to ensure a safe and enjoyable beach experience. These exercises combine fundamental Surf Lifesaving techniques that will keep children safe while also preparing them to recognise risks while on the beach. Activities include, but are not limited to the following: swimming, board skills swim and run relay races, self -rescue techniques, patient board and tube rescues. If schools have something specific in mind, we can tailor the experience to suit.

If your school would like to participate contact Gary Borham: education@noosasurfclub.com.

au The total number of students that have come through the Surf Education is over 10,000.

Rugby League

Noosa Pirates Secretary Tim Burger tells bus that it was a light schedule on the weekend for the Noosa Pirates with just three senior fixtures played to complete Round 3 as the junior competition remains on the Easter break and the Open Women prepare to kick off their season in Round 4.

Reserve Grade were first to take the field on Saturday against Beerwah. The Pirates started

strongly jumping out to an early lead before the Bulldogs rallied to level the score at 10 all by half time. Beerwah struck first in the second half to move ahead by six points, but the Pirates refused to back down, fighting their way back into the contest late to secure a hard-earned 16 all draw.

A Grade followed looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. Following a respectful Anzac Day moment of silence to honour Australia’s service members, the match began with Beerwah scoring first. The Pirates responded shortly after to level the score at 6-all, but Beerwah regained the advantage midway through the half and headed into the break leading 16-10. Despite their efforts Pirates were unable to close the gap in the second half stanza eventually going down 40-16 to record their first loss of the season. Sundays saw the Under 19 take on Nam-

bour at a neutral venue at Stanley River. Nambour struck first to take an early six-point lead, but Pirates answered 10 minutes later with the sides locked together in a tough contest heading into half time.

The Pirates came out firing in the second half crossing for three tries before Nambour could respond. Another late try sealed a convincing28-10 victory giving the young Pirates their first win of the season. There will be no club games next weekend with the league hosting the 47 Battalion representative games where A Grade men and Open Women will take part in matches recognising and honouring service members over the Anzac Day period. Both Juniors and Seniors will return to action on the first weekend of May. We wish all teams, their families and supporters, the very best for the season ahead.

A bit of boffo at Margies

By Phil Jarratt

Back when I started covering the very first professional surfing contests in the early and mid-1970s, dirty tricks and a bit of biffo were not uncommon.

In fact, for the small tribe of pioneer surf journos, they were the meat and potatoes of our coverage, providing more entertainment for readers when our magazines hit the stands a month or two later than the actual results. The news cycle moved a lot slower in those days, but as the pro contests got bigger, the big city newspapers would often run a picture and the results the very next day, and, very rarely, the TV news might even run a short segment.

So what we had left was controversy, and if it wasn’t real we had to imagine it. The great Michael Peterson spinning wheels and doing donuts in the Bells car park after being beaten in a tight heat with Rabbit Bartholomew could, for example, be construed as the start of a blood feud.

When there was a bunch of Hawaiians and later Brazilians in the draw, the potential for a manufactured international incident was even better. The Hawaiians and Brazilians are still very much in the mix and can still be volatile, although since the top surfers realised they could become millionaires out of this caper, that’s kept pretty much under wraps. And now that we can watch every wave ridden and every post-heat interview in real time, the viewers can draw their own conclusions without the help of trained observers.

Which is why I’ll keep this brief. I commented in this space a couple of weeks back on the interference call on Jack Robinson at Bells when Sammy Pupo exercised his priority and Jack’s exit from the wave was considered to be dangerously late. I didn’t see it that way, but Jack was going to lose the heat anyway, so the issue went away very quickly.

non-interference,

The WSL was clearly hoping to pull the same trick at the Margaret River Pro when reigning world champ Yago Dora tried to exercise his priority and found a stumbling block in the form of wildcard and Margs local Jacob Willcox who had dropped anchor right in front of him. Now that was an interference, but the judges saw it not so, three votes to two. Yago, a cool cat most of the time, blew up in and out of the water. Words were exchanged, and later on the stairs and in the car park there was a bit of argy-bargy.

In my day, the story would have been full scale war between the locals and the Brazilian Storm, but in the modern world, the two hugged and made up on Instagram. Mysteriously, all references to the altercation disappeared from the WSL social media, and the non-interference was avoided in the heat highlights replay.

Oh well, moving on to the contest itself, the Margie Pro opened with a day of clean, beautiful lines on which a record 28 heats were decided, then stalled after a day of horrible onshore lumps in which another 16 losers were sent home, including crowd favourites like Jack Robinson and Sally Fitzgibbons. As I write storms are lashing the west coast and there is no hope of a resumption until late in the week, and there are very few Aussies left in the draw – Molly Picklum the only woman and rookie Joel Vaughan, George Pittar and Ethan Ewing the only men.

I’ll wind it up next week but in the meantime, here’s my fearless prediction: Hawaiian veteran Carissa Moore to take out the women’s and Brazilian veteran Gabriel Medina the men’s.

Bat crazy

The other evening the wife and I were enjoying our riverside fish and chips and glass of wine and watching the sunset on the river, when a familiar high-pitched drone filled the darkening sky above us.

I looked up at the darkening sky to find a few hundred of the Weyba Creek bat colony circling above us, and for my trouble felt a plop on my forehead. Soon it was raining bat droppings and we were forced to look for cover. At least, as far as I could tell, our soothing pinots were spared and we were able to finish them furtively in a dark corner on the deck of the Red Emperor.

This was unfortunate but not entirely unexpected. We’ve lived on one bank of Weyba Creek or another for more than 20 years. The bat (or flying fox) habitats are well known to us and the colonies that fly out on their sunset missions are like old mates. Sort of. I know that they are regarded as a keystone species (one whose removal would cause major disruption to the ecosystem) for their long-distance, nocturnal pollinating and

seed dispersal activities. Without them our native forests would be in serious trouble. And I also have the utmost respect for the fact that they are the only mammals capable of true flight. All of which you tend to forget about when you are a victim of bat rain, so it did the soul a great deal of good a week later when we were enjoying sundowners with visiting friends on a deck at Settlers Cove. Suddenly the golden sky was alive with bats in flight, circling ever closer. It was a magical sight, one I hadn’t seen in such clarity for a long time. Thank you, bats.

PLENTY OF ACTIVITY IN NOOSA

PROPERTY MATTERS

ERLE LEVEY

AN indication of the level of activity in the Noosa property market has been the amount of enquiries and inspections being carried out.

Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate had just finished eight hours of back-to-back inspections when I spoke to him.

Strong interest is being shown in a variety of properties by local, Brisbane and Melbourne parties, Chris said.

A five-bedroom, two-bathroom Noosaville house with pool has been attracting both local and hinterland inspections.

The renovated family home at 13 Wandoo Ct is exceptionally private, with the entertaining area backing onto a leafy reserve with creek.

Listed at $1.69m, the owners of 10 years have made significant improvements during their time, Chris said.

Meanwhile a top-floor Noosaville riverside apartment is attracting interstate enquiries, particularly from regional areas, due to it’s frontrow Noosa River position and the 180-degree northerly aspect.

Apartment 3/235 Gympie Tce offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and one-car parking. Listed at $2.425m, it features high raked ceilings and two river-view terraces.

Going to auction Friday, 24 April, at 12pm is a top-floor apartment with rainforest outlook in Peppers Noosa Resort.

Apartment 9404/5 Morwong Dv features one bedroom, one bathroom, premium kitchen and one car-parking space.

It will make a great lifestyle investment, Chris said, close to Hastings Street in the John Mainwaring designed eco-conscious resort.

SPECTACULAR COMBINATION

Chris Miller has a spacious three-bedroom, threebathroom villa in Peppers Noosa Resort he is taking to auction early next month.

The house-sized villa with separate media room 6106/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads, has the added benefit of two-car parking - something

A five-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool on 2814sq m at 37 Cooroibah Cres,

1pm. (544584)

that has been particularly appealing to Brisbane interests.

The auction, at 11am on Saturday, 2 May, is also attracting Melbourne interest, Chris said.

“They love the rainforest setting and the easy walk to the beach. That is a spectacular combination.

“The interesting thing is it was a complete renovation two years ago. Nothing is standard, it is all top quality and includes custom-made furniture.

“It is like no other in the Peppers Noosa Resort.’’

The virtually-new two-level retreat is seemingly perched atop an enchanting sub-tropical rainforest canopy.

The natural timbers, stone and textures mimic the outdoors, while splashes of colour in custom furnishings, artworks and accessories add a sense of joy.

High ceilings, sunroof and louvres are in the expansive, open-plan living area with sumptuous sofa, custom timber feature wall with stone topped console, coffee tables, artworks and numerous accessories.

The dining space is also well appointed and there is an almost invisible line between indoors and out, thanks to disappearing doors to the roomy terrace with wide overhangs and awnings.

A galley kitchen has stone-topped white cabinetry benches including an island also a lengthy L-shaped bench with a semi-island breakfast bar and stools, two pantries and all premium Fisher & Paykel appliances from the fridge and dishwasher to the oven and gas cooktop.

Three sizeable bedrooms with built-in robes

are all on the lower level. The bedheads are custom made and each is different as are the side tables, light sconces, artworks and accessories.

Two have terrace access including the main bedroom suite with its ensuite featuring marbletiled walls, marble two-basin topped timber cabinetry, spectacular oval mirrors and pendant lights.

Guests share a bathroom of equal calibre styling plus single basin cabinetry and a bathtub.

On the upper level is a leisure space or guest room. Adjacent is a bathroom, similarly styled to the others. The laundry is fully equipped, includes Fisher & Paykel washer and dryer,.

The two-car garage has free-standing locked storage cupboards; there’s also storage under the stairs; keyless security to entry and garage; and fully-inclusive inventory.

PRIVACY IN NATURAL SETTING

A five-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car Tewantin house with pool is being really well received in the lead-up to the auction on Friday, 24 April, at 1pm.

Set on a private, parklike 2814sq m at 37 Cooroibah Cres, it is a “super family friendly’’ property, Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Erica Newton said.

“It’s close enough to Tewantin village but comes with a hinterland feel, right down to kangaroos and koalas.

“Mostly locals are looking for space for the family. This house has good separation - the floorpan is set up in such way that the main bedroom is in the southern wing and the children’s bedrooms along with ensuited guest bedroom and second living area on the

northern wing.

“This could be guest quarters as they are independent. It could be a generational home.’’

The expansive, single-level house backs directly onto a leafy reserve. There is a poolside pavilion, huge covered deck, firepit, and vast lawn area.

The house features raked ceilings in main living, split system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, new Hermann gas hot water system, recentlyreplaced 3.6kW solar power, and a 3m by 3m storage/workshop space in the garage.

A light-filled kitchen is equipped with quality stainless steel appliances including DeLonghi gas cooktop and two single-drawer dishwashers; and showcases a delightful view across deck and lush gardens.

There is a powered 4.8m by 3.7m shed, two water tanks of 18,000-litre capacity in total, side access, and additional concreted on-site parking space.

A PROPERTY WITH OPTIONS

A 1.12ha property at Eumundi with four-bedroom house and studio is appealing to buyers looking for some space without the level of maintenance needed for a large block.

Nathan Howie and Jack Newton of Noosa Estate Agents are taking the property at 171-187 Sunrise Rd to auction at 11am on Wednesday, 29 April.

The interest is mostly coming from those who want to purchase for themselves, rather than as an investment, Jack said.

“Enquiry is all over the shop - there have been some from interstate but locals have been the main ones at opens.

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car house, studio, on 1.12ha at 171-187 Sunrise Rd, Eumundi, is set for auction at 11am on Wednesday, 29 April. (544584)

A three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house on 6128sq m at 15 Mallee Close, Doonan, goes to auction Friday, 24 April, at 10am. (544584)

There are others who have sold on the Sunshine Coast and are looking for change.

“At the same time first home buyers are taking the opportunity to buy into the area.’’

Set on the sought-after Sunrise Road, this property features two dwellings: a two-to-three bedroom, one-bathroom residence, along with a fully self-contained studio apartment.

There are easy-care grounds in front of the house and the property drops away with a natural bushland backdrop.

REFRESH AND BENEFIT

There has been a fantastic turn-out at open homes for a 6128sq m property at Doonan.

Henry Reynolds at Hinternoosa is taking a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house at 15 Mallee Close to auction Friday, 24 April, at 10am.

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car house, studio, on 1.12ha at 171-187 Sunrise Rd, Eumundi, is set for auction at 11am on Wednesday, 29 April. (544584)

A three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house on 6128sq m at 15 Mallee Close, Doonan, goes to auction Friday, 24 April, at 10am. (544584)

“We have indications of intentions to bid,’’ Henry said, “... from local interests and the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

“It’s a renovator’s dream … a chance to freshen the property up.

“Considering the market we are in, it is a great opportunity to get into the hinterland market.

“While we appreciate the cost of materials having gone up, if you have good ability or access to tradespeople there is good opportunity here.’’

Built in the late 1990s, the house embodies traditional Queensland charm, with its timber and weatherboard construction and wrap-around verandah. The property includes a beautiful natural creek that runs along the rear boundary.

There is a separate lounge while the kitchen and dining area flow together over timber flooring to form the heart of the home.

A three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house on 6128sq m at 15 Mallee Close, Doonan, goes to auction Friday, 24 April, at 10am. (544584)

The kitchen is well equipped, offering gas cooking, a dishwasher, and ample cabinetry.

While immediately livable, the home also presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers to modernise and personalise, Henry said.

A spacious main bedroom suite comes complete with walk-in robe, ensuite, and direct access to the verandah.

The additional bedrooms are well sized, each with built-in storage and access to outdoor areas, while the main bathroom is centrally located with a separate toilet.

Under the home, a substantial garage and utility area offers two-car accommodation, workshop space, storage, and the inclusion of a laundry, shower, and toilet. There is solar hot water and a waste water system, providing a practical and self-sufficient foundation.

HEIGHT OF ELEGANCE: INDESCRIBABLE MOOD OF NATURE; CLOSE TO EVERYTHING

STEP into a world beyond the ordinary, the height of elegance and the serenity of living in a slice of paradise - a house-sized apartment in a prized location.

Expect unmissable good times, somewhat cosseted by Nature, albeit the scintillating nature reserve spilling out before your eyes and looking over the pool. Also remember it is only a four-minute stroll to a jetty on the Noosa Sound waterway, and within walking distance to Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street.

Admire the lush gardens and pathway, and inside the powder-white curvaceous and fluted walls of the foyer and hallway. There is certainly an emphasis on capaciousness, a relentless commitment to design supremacy, craftsmanship and innovation, uncompromising sophistication as well as a vivacious personality and ageless beauty. Everything to suit the most discerning.

Balance and symmetry are accentuated by light-filled intuitive spaces, superlative finishes, a primarily neutral palette, and lashings of sheen in the high-ceilinged prodigious living and dining areas, also a leisure space, or is it a study or media room. Your choice.

Sunshine shadow dances over the Italian porcelain flooring thanks to a wall of almost disappearing doors maximising the coalescence to the main terrace with outdoor kitchen.

There are lots of entertaining options, whatever the reason or season - indoors or out where nature rules, imposing its quiet strengths through the trees, and the local birdlife trill choruses of delight.

An intelligent kitchen design is paramount especially for a culinary aficionado and serious entertainer. Think galley style with white curved stone-topped tallowwood look cabinetry incorporating an island breakfast bar, lengthy wall bench/upper cabinetry, roomy walk-in pantry, marble look splashback, also the very latest Miele appliances from wine fridge, induction cooktop, ovens, and integrated dishwasher, plus an integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge.

There are three carpeted bedrooms. The very chic premier suite retreat accesses the main terrace, so perfect for an early morning cuppa, has a fashionista-style walk-in robe, and ensuite with white stone topped two-basin tallowwood look cabinetry, also a free-standing deep bath for soaking away the blues, after a long day on the golf course.

In the north-west wing are two bedrooms with built-in robes. One has an undercover terrace with a secure gate to walk the dog or go to the residents only pool and recreational area. The main bathroom has similar styling to the ensuite, and a hidden powder room is nearby.

“First impressions do count, however with the latest smart inclusions and secure belowground garaging for two cars, plus a lock-up store, there is so much more on offer than what meets the eye.

“The location in the cosmopolitan heart of Noosa Heads is also a huge bonus. Walk six minutes to Noosa Junction with its vibrant restaurant, cafe, and bar scene, also Noosa Main Beach, Noosa National Park and did you know the jetty is a four-minute walk away? Forget the car and book the water taxi to your favourite restaurant near or on the Noosa River.”

Every detail-indoors and out-has been considered for versatility, comfort, and timeless style. Whether hosting a large gathering or enjoying quiet solitude, the design never feels overwhelming or sparse.

A sophisticated palette of natural materials-French oak floors, soft travertine, micro-cement walls, hand-laid sandstone, and lime-washed finishes-brings a calming, spa-like ambiance throughout. A statement ceiling window, positioned to draw the eye into the pool above, adds a playful, unexpected touch of architectural flair.

The rooftop terrace is a true highlight-channelling a chic Mediterranean beach club with a private heated pool and spa, floating daybeds, custom dining and lounging areas, built-in BBQ and bar with beer taps, plus an adjustable pergola. Framed by an elegant Canary Island date palm, it boasts breathtaking panoramic views across the river from the Noosa Spit to Tewantin.
