Walk the Noosa Trail The Great Noosa Trail Walk will return from 3–5 October 2026, bringing walkers together for three days of hiking through the spectacular Noosa hinterland and supporting the communities of Cooroy, Kin Kin, Cooran and Pomona along the way. Now in its 10th year, the Great Noosa Trail Walk follows approximately 56 kilometres of the Noosa Biosphere Trails, taking participants from Cooroy through the hinterland to Kin Kin and Cooran before finishing in Pomona. For the first time in 2026, the event is being delivered by Queensland outdoor adventure business Trail Trekkers, led by Bob and Tracy Baker. “The Great Noosa Trail Walk represents so much of what Trail Trekkers is about — exploring beautiful places on foot, connecting with people and communities, and taking the time to breathe and enjoy the experience,” Bob Baker said. “We were drawn to this event because it is not simply a walk. The local communities are an important part of the experience, and we want the event to continue providing an opportunity for visitors to discover the Noosa hinterland while contributing to those communities.” Continued page 2

Rezone concerns By Margie Maccoll Impacts on water quality, biodiversity, traffic, rural landscape and a lack of site-specific studies were among concerns raised by a group of Cooroy residents over Noosa Council’s proposal to rezone land at 94 and 170 Holts Road, Cooroy, from rural to industrial. Under the proposed change to the Noosa Plan 2020, known as Amendment number 4, Council plans to rezone about 20 hectares of a 33.78-hectare site for development, the remaining 13.8 hectares it proposes to be rezoned Environment and
Conservation zone due to its environmental values and constraints. “This proposed amendment is about planning for Noosa’s future employment needs while ensuring environmental values and community interests are carefully considered,” Council’s environment and strategy director Kim Rawlings said in August when the proposal was put forward for public submissions. “The Holts Road site has been identified through regional and local planning investigations as a suitable location to support employ-
ment land supply, close to existing industrial activities and major transport connections.” Residents Andrew Savage, Rosemary Baker, Bradley Simpson and Joanne Hoey, who were representing a group called Noosa Hinterland Environment Protection Agency Incorporated, delivered a deputation and questions on notice to council’s ordinary meeting last week. “The proposed Holts Road amendment would introduce medium impact industrial development into an area currently categorised by rural and rural residential land uses and located

within an environmentally sensitive catchment. Residents have raised concerns about potential impacts on water quality, drainage, flooding, biodiversity, traffic, noise and neighbouring properties,” Ms Hoey told council. She asked council what site specific technical investigations were completed before Holts Rd was identified to become an industrial site. “Of particular interest are hydrological, water quality, ecological, geotechnical and traffic assessments,” she said.

Noosa and its surrounding communities could be affected by a major reshaping of Queensland’s federal electorate boundaries, with residents now being invited to have their say. The Australian Electoral Commission has opened the first public consultation period for the redistribution of Queensland’s 30 federal electorates, with suggestions closing at 6pm on Friday, October 16. The process is particularly relevant to Noosa, which is currently part of the federal seat of Wide Bay, stretching from the Noosa region north through Gympie and the Fraser Coast and west towards the South Burnett. The AEC says Queensland’s federal boundaries are being reviewed because more than seven years have passed since the previous redistribution was determined in March 2018. Queensland will retain 30 seats at the next federal election. Electoral Commissioner Jeff Pope said population growth meant significant changes could be required. “Redistributions are guided first and foremost by the requirement to balance the population across electorates within the numerical tolerances but also by a range of other independent criteria such as bringing together communities of interest,” Mr Pope said. For communities such as Noosa, the committee must consider more than simply the number of voters. The rules require consideration of communities of interest, economic, social and regional connections, transport and communication links, physical features and existing electorate boundaries. The AEC says electorates must contain broadly similar numbers of electors. Each electorate must be within 10 per cent of the redistribution quota, while projected enrolments should, as far as practicable, fall within 3.5 per cent of the projected quota. There will be several opportunities for public input during the process. Residents and community organisations can
The Wide Bay electorate (AEC website:579181) make written suggestions about boundaries, electorate names or both. The AEC says submissions can cover the whole of Queensland or just particular elector-
ates and may include maps. Suggestions close at 6pm on October 16, 2026. For more information go to: www.aec.gov.au/redistributions/2025/qld/

Old rules to decide Kin Kin project By Donna Jones A single post on the Noosa Community Notice Board has members of the Kin Kin community up in arms about a proposed commercial development they fear they will not have a formal opportunity to have a say on. The post, made by Peter Hinner around mid-afternoon on Tuesday, says, “Give one of the smallest towns/villages in the Noosa Shire a chance to have a say in its own development and not have a single business owner effectively dictate what businesses operate in the village.” Mr Hinner continues, making an appeal for anyone who knows Kin Kin and doesn’t “like the idea of seeing it commercialised” to show their support. The post was shared 24 times, and as of 6.30pm Wednesday evening, just 18 hours later, had received 116 comments and recorded more than 320 reactions. Noosa Council responded to requests for information about the proposal, saying it had approved a request from an applicant intending to apply for the development of a tourist park in the township to “be assessed under the Superseded Planning Scheme.” Noosa Council said under the old rules, the site would qualify as being “Code assessable”. This means the application will be assessed against specific planning codes and requirements, without the statutory public notification and submission process that applies to impact-assessable developments.
The council was quick to advise it had not yet received the formal development application for the project, which would still require council approval before any work on the site could begin. According to the Noosa Council website, an amendment to the Noosa Plan 2020 (Noosa’s planning scheme) was implemented in September last year after seven weeks of consultation with the community and “two State interest checks”, with the intention to “help deliver a greater number of, and more affordable, homes plus further limit the spread of shortterm accommodation in residential areas.” Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie said at the time that, “The changes ensure there is no increase in short-term accommodation in our Medium and High Density residential zones and most Business Centre zones. Short-term accommodation continues to be allowed in the Rural and Rural Residential zones, but only where the resident remains on-site, such as cabins.” Regarding the former planning scheme and the proposed development, the council spokesperson said the “proposal is code assessable due to the size of the site, the absence of cabins or villa (sic) and the limit of 25 camping sites.” The council also said it had “also received a separate request relating to a nature-based tourism proposal on the site, comprising six permanent two-bedroom glamping tents in a separate area of the property”, adding that the request is still being assessed and no decision has been reached.

‘Not my rules’ says Kin Kin developer on council process By Donna Jones “Our mission is to restore nature and leave it in better shape than we found it,” said David Ezrine, owner of the Kin Kin Hotel and Trillium Pty Ltd, the development company at the centre of a social media discussion regarding a proposed holiday park development in Kin Kin. The post, made to the Noosa Community Notice Board page last Tuesday, expressed dismay at potentially not having a say in the development and claimed it would allow “a single business operator (to) effectively dictate what businesses operate in the village.” The post by Peter Hinner then appeals to people “who know Kin Kin and don’t like the idea of seeing it commercialised” to show their support. As of 6.30pm Wednesday evening, just 18 hours later, it was shared 24 times, had re-
ceived 116 comments, and recorded more than 320 reactions. “I’ve read the post and the comments, and I understand the worry,” Mr Ezrine said. “If commercialised means franchises, fastfood outlets and chain stores, I’m against it too.” “If it means a pub, a bakery, a coffee farm and a shop run by people who live here, that isn’t commercialisation,” he said. “That’s a rural town. Everything we do in Kin Kin is about regenerating the land and celebrating rural culture and farming. We do it every day at the Kin Kin Hotel, and it’s the whole point of what comes next. Anyone who doubts that is welcome to come and look at what we’ve already done,” he said. The concerns regarding the “no say” issue stem from Noosa Council’s approval of Mr Ezrine’s request to have the proposed develop-
ment assessed under “the Superseded Planning Scheme”. This means the application will be assessed against specific planning codes and requirements, without the statutory public notification and submission process that applies to impact-assessable developments. “These aren’t my rules,” Mr Ezrine countered, “They’re council’s rules.” “We asked council what pathway was open to us, council advised us, and we followed that advice. “We are staying inside the Noosa Plan. “That’s what the Noosa Plan asks of everyone, and every citizen in this shire has exactly the same rights under it that I have. “If anyone has a problem with the process, the right place to take it to is council, not a local business that did what council told it to do. “Nothing has been approved. The applica-
tion hasn’t been lodged. “When it is, council will assess it on its merits, as it should,” Mr Ezrine said. Mr Ezrine also said he and his family run only two of the five existing businesses in Kin Kin. “The other three are run by people who have nothing to do with us. “There’s plenty of room here for more,” he said. He also said they would welcome other small businesses to the area. “We’d be delighted to see local artists, makers and other small businesses step forward and open in Kin Kin, and we’ll help where we can,” Mr Ezrine said.

Huge feat to be made for small school Kin Kin cyclist Lachlan Davis will set off on his bike at 9am on 3 October for a gruelling 24-hour ride around his home town, raising money for the Kin Kin State School P&C Association to improve the playground for the students. Lachlan has been cycling for 18 years and currently holds the Gympie to Brisbane (185km) and Gladstone to Rockhampton cycling records. For this challenge, he’ll tackle a roughly 17km loop around the Kin Kin district, including 2km of dirt roads, and enough incline to equate to riding to the top of Mt Cooroora over two laps. His goal is to complete 30 laps - more than 500 km - within 24 hours. The fundraiser has a very personal connection for Lachlan. A lifelong local, he attended Kin Kin State School himself, his father once drove the school bus, and his own children are now students there. Lachlan said the idea for the 24 hour ride was seeded three years ago when another resident Daryl Wheeler completed a 24 hour run in Kin Kin, raising $3000 for the community.
“I thought I could ride 24 hours for the P&C - they do so much work at the school,” he said. Lachlan is well on track to accomplishing his feat, having recently ridden the route for 250km in 11 and a quarter hours, even striking a torrential storm in the afternoon. He hopes the ride may also highlight to Noosa Council the need for the remaining 2km of dirt road on the school bus route to be sealed. With fewer than 50 students, Kin Kin State School is a small but mighty school at the heart of the local community. The P&C works hard to provide opportunities and resources for the children, supporting everything from excursions to classroom resources and equipment. P&C Association spokesperson Lucy Stewart said Lachlan had set himself a target of $5000 with the money going toward a refurbishment of the school’s outdoor sandpit and “Wild & Free play area, a project they have been fundraising for all year. “The sand pit was built 15 years ago and unfortunately, time and weather have taken their
toll - the wooden frame has rotted, the sandpit has filled with leaves instead of sand, there’s no shade to allow children to play in it during the summer months, and our storage sheds are broken, leaving them prone to theft and snakes,” Lucy said. “Tucked into the surrounding bush “Wild and Free” is a nature play area, where students build their own miniature towns, barter with bush currency, and create incredible stories using sticks, stones, and imagination. Here, children are free to explore, invent and connect with nature learning life skills without even knowing it. It’s a pretty special and unique part of our school.” A gofundme page has been established for people to donate to Lachlan’s challenge and help him achieve his $5000 goal. “Lachlan’s challenge is a great example of the community coming together to support its local school - and 500 km around Kin Kin in 24 hours is certainly no small feat,” Lucy said.

More recycling support solved. Among them was the lack of a binding, independent dispute resolution body for operators, while smaller beverage businesses had raised concerns about the cost of participating in the scheme. Ms Bolton also questioned why the Queensland Government’s own facilities and workplaces were not more extensively participating. “Given this scheme originated from government, it is unacceptable that government facilities and workplaces do not participate,” she said. The committee had identified governmentowned and operated sites as having potential to make a substantial contribution towards the scheme’s 85 per cent recovery target. Ms Bolton said the current 67 per cent recovery rate remained well short of that target. She also pointed to potential improvements including greater participation by multi-unit dwellings, commercial workplaces and venues, more reverse vending machines and an expanded network of collection operators. For Noosa, the scheme has included a Queensland-first Containers for Change pod in a national park, as well as local operators participating in the refund network. Ms Bolton said another issue was plastic bottle tops, which the Bill allows to be included only when they remain attached to bottles. “With the volume of plastic bottle tops in our waterways ending up on our beaches, we must do better,” she said. The Queensland Parliament’s committee report on the Bill was tabled in May, with the Government’s response tabled on August 17. The Bill is yet to be debated in the Legislative Assembly.
By Steve Linnell Queensland’s container refund scheme is set for stronger oversight and accountability, but Noosa MP Sandy Bolton says more needs to be done to lift recycling rates and support smaller operators. The Waste Reduction and Recycling (Strengthening the Container Refund Scheme) Amendment Bill 2026 implements 12 of the 21 recommendations made by the Health, Environment and Innovation Committee following its inquiry into the scheme. The Bill was introduced in March and remains before Parliament. Ms Bolton, a member of the committee, said the scheme had produced significant environmental and community benefits since its introduction. Queenslanders had increased recycling of eligible containers from 18 per cent to 67 per cent, with about 12 billion containers recycled and more than $1.2 billion returned to individuals, families, schools, community groups and charities, she said. “Progress yes, enough no,” Ms Bolton said. The committee’s inquiry involved eight months of work, thousands of pages of reports, two public and 12 private hearings and 119 submissions. Among the changes contained in the Bill are a seven-year fixed term for the scheme’s Product Responsibility Organisation (PRO), a defined renewal framework, independent annual audits and a Special Manager to provide additional government oversight. Ministerial approval will also be required for board appointments, with more than half of board members required to come from outside the beverage industry. The Bill also clarifies that the PRO is a unit

Industrial land rezone for Cooroy raises concerns From page 1 In response Ms Rawlings said the sites were included by the state government in the 2023 Regional Plan Review “specifically for employment/ industrial development” and council “did not commission standalone, site-specific reports for the purpose of determining the proposed rezoning”. “Council’s assessment of the suitability of the site for industrial zoning was informed by a range of existing technical information and mapping, including overlay mapping in Noosa Plan 2020, which identified characteristics such as Biodiversity, Bushfire, Landslide and Regional Water Catchment Area. Planning overlays are based on technical analysis undertaken by both the State Government and Council,” she said. “The proposed Environmental Management and Conservation zone is applied over the constrained areas. Requirements for onsite water sensitive urban design solutions for stormwater management and reticulated water and effluent disposal are included in Noosa Plan 2020. SEQ Water have not raised any additional requirements as part of the proposed amendment in
relation to development in the water catchment area. Traffic modelling undertaken in 2026 considered the development of the site for employment land as proposed by Amendment No. 4. This modelling did not identify a requirement for significant upgrades to the existing local road network surrounding the site or within Cooroy town centre. “The subject sites were not listed on the Environmental Management/Contaminated Land Register as of December 23, 2024, and there have been no activities carried out on the prop-
erties since that would have led to their inclusion.” Ms Rawlings told the meeting further detailed assessments would be required at the “development assessment stage” to ensure any proposed development met the requirements of Noosa Plan 2020. When asked by Ms Hoey whether Holts Rd was selected after comparison with other available or already zoned employment, industrial land Ms Rawlings replied that Council had undertaken the Noosa Employment Lands Review to assess the future need for industrial land as well as deliver the outcomes sought by the Noosa Economic Development Strategy 2021-2030. “This study identified a shortfall of Medium Impact Industrial land in 2031 and Low Impact Industrial land by 2041. The study considered potential sites for this shortfall to be located taking into consideration access to major freight routes, natural constraints, being contiguous to existing industrial development and key service infrastructure and located where it would not result in amenity impacts on more consolidated urban residential zoned land,” she said.
“Industrial zoning can only be applied to land within the urban footprint. Noosa Shire has limited availability of greenfield sites within the urban footprint due to existing natural constraints and development. “No other sites within the existing urban footprint were identified through the Employment Land Review as being suitable to meet the projected land and locational requirements for future industrial development. The Holts Road sites were identified as the preferred location to accommodate this future demand due to: Location within the urban boundary, Proximity to major freight routes with an existing interchange to access the Bruce Highway, Being contiguous with existing industrial land and existing infrastructure services, Being of a size that can deliver on the future demand, Not being located near dense residential development or land within a residential zone, and No hazards or constraints that cannot be mitigated or managed as part of any future development.”

Making lives matter A Council community grant awarded earlier this year is already making a meaningful difference, helping a local charity expand its support for vulnerable residents. Making Lives Matter was one of 25 local organisations to receive support through Council’s 2026-27 Community Project Grants program, which is providing more than $285,000 towards community projects, programs, infrastructure and equipment upgrades and events across the shire. The Noosaville-based charity has appointed a new Community Outreach Worker, Danielle, who’s role has been made possible through the community grant they received in June. The newly created outreach role will help Making Lives Matter provide structured support and service navigation for people experiencing financial hardship, housing insecurity, domestic and family violence, mental health challenges, disability, social isolation and other barriers to accessing essential services. Mayor Frank Wilkie said it highlighted the real and immediate impact our community grants can have. “Every year, Council’s Community Grants Program helps local organisations turn great ideas into meaningful outcomes for our community,” Mayor Wilkie said.
“Making Lives Matter is a fantastic example of that in action. Their work supports some of our most vulnerable residents and this new outreach role will help even more people find the right support at the right time.” “Noosa is fortunate to have dedicated organisations such as Making Lives Matter working at the frontline of community support. Our grants program is about helping local groups respond to identified needs, build resilience and strengthen community connections.” Since its establishment in 2022, Making Lives Matter has distributed more than $650,000 in direct community assistance and donated goods, while supporting more than 3,500 community members through practical assistance, emergency relief and referrals to local services. The Community Outreach Pilot will formalise and strengthen that support by improving referral pathways, coordinating access to services and helping people overcome challenges such as limited transport, digital exclusion, financial stress and low confidence engaging with support systems. The outreach service will operate from three accessible locations across the shire, including Making Lives Matter in Noosaville, Pomona Community House and community facilities in the Noosa Heads and Noosaville area.
Making Lives Matter Chief Executive Officer Elizabeth McPhee said the grant-funded role would help the organisation meet growing community need while strengthening partnerships across the local service network. “Danielle’s appointment gives us the capacity to reach more people, respond more consistently and connect vulnerable community members with the support they need,” Ms McPhee said. “By working from multiple community locations, Danielle will be able to meet people closer to where they live, gather and seek support.” “This support from Noosa Council will help us move from informal crisis response to a more coordinated outreach model, while keeping dignity and practical help at the centre of everything we do.” Mayor Wilkie said the success of the project demonstrated why investing in local community organisations was so important. “Our community groups understand local challenges and are often best placed to respond,” he said. “When we support organisations like Making Lives Matter, we’re helping build a more inclusive, connected and resilient Noosa community.” The next round of Community Project Grants opens in February 2027. For more information about all available grants, visit Council’s website.
Noosa MP Sandy Bolton has welcomed confirmation that a new active transport project connecting Goodchap Street, near Heritage Drive to Noosa Hospital will be funded under the State Government’s 2026–27 Active Transport Grants Program. The project, to be delivered by Noosa Shire Council with matched state and local funding, will design and construct active transport facilities along Goodchap Street, giving residents a safer route to Noosa Hospital. Ms Bolton said active transport and transport connectivity more broadly had been consistently advocated for including at this year’s Budget Estimates hearings. “Back in 2021, following our advocacy to the Department of Transport and Main Roads, we secured confirmation that the review of the South East Queensland Principal Cycle Network Plan would directly involve Noosa Shire Council, and that active transport pathway options across our electorate would be properly investigated,” Ms Bolton said.” At this year’s Estimates hearings, the Noosa MP again raised active travel options and transport connectivity for our community, including for towns like Cooroy, Pomona, Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Cooran, and on planning for residents’ access to health, education and employment precincts. “Safer walking and riding infrastructure has been a priority for our community, especially vital is our footpaths and crossings for our children, elderly and anyone experiencing mobility challenges.” “This funding reflects a sustained, yearslong push, not just from my office, but from residents who have raised this need again and again.” “It was also a competitive process, with 114 applications submitted from councils right across the state for just 10 funding places, so real credit goes to Noosa Shire Council for putting together a strong application.” Ms Bolton said there was much more still to be done across the electorate, including the long-standing Pomona to Cooran active transport link and safer connections around Peregian, and thanked all who continue to work hard in this space to create greater accessibility for all.

Twenty years of Woolies By Margie Maccoll When Woolworths at Noosa Civic celebrated its 20th year this week four employees shared the milestone, having started work at the new store on its first day of opening in a new shopping centre. Three of those four, Alicia Mason, Karen Sollitt and Jennifer (Jen) Rawson spoke to Noosa Today. “When we opened we were quite quiet,” Karen said. “Some of the roads weren’t finished. People had trouble finding the place. It was bush all around, whereas now you have all industry around us. Twenty years ago none of that was here.” The area has grown significantly since then, so much so that sometimes the store, at Christmas and Easter, is “the busiest Woolworths store in Queensland”, Jen said. All the women agreed it was a nice place to work. After starting work Alicia quickly completed her baking apprenticeship and continues to work at the bakery making an ever expanding range of bread products, savouries, sweets, fresh cream cakes, as well as their incredibly popular hot cross buns. “It’s very hectic, but it’s good. I like it,” she said. “It’s good job security. It’s a good roster. It’s a good team in the bakery.” Both Karen and Jennifer started at Woolworths after taking time out to raise their children. “It was daunting for Jenny and I, coming back to work,” Karen said. “It’s been 20 really good years for us.” Karen works in the self-service check-out section and enjoys it. “It’s very fast. The time goes quickly,” she said.

Jennifer also works in the check-out section where she is a friendly face for her customers. “After 20 years you get to know the people who come here, some on the same days of the week,” she said. “I have my Monday customers, all my Tuesdays, and they look for you.

and throughout the years experience an ever-evolving environment punctuated by seasonal products, school holiday favourites and the latest must-have item to entertain the kids and the adults. “I love that busy-ness. Love the speed. It’s never a dull day,” said Karen, summing up the feeling in the supermarket where staff will this week celebrate its 20th birthday, in the store.

Helping the homeless Noosa Daybreak Rotary is making a tangible difference to homelessness in the Noosa region through a partnership with the Salvation Army that is delivering real results for some of the community’s most vulnerable residents. In 2021, Rotary members became aware of a growing number of people experiencing homelessness locally. At the time, it was estimated that around 40 people were sleeping in their cars each night in the Noosa area, many of whom were already receiving counselling support from the Salvation Army. (Sunshine Coast Council acknowledge that on any one night 1205 people are homeless on the Sunshine Coast. ) Determined to respond in a practical and effective way, Noosa Daybreak Rotary explored options that would allow limited funds to help the greatest number of people. Following discussions with Salvation Army First Response Team case workers, the Salvation Army Rotary Blessing Fund (SARB) was established. A Memorandum of Understanding between Noosa Daybreak Rotary and the Salvation Army ensures transparency and accountability. All donations to SARB receive a tax receipt from the Salvation Army, with 100 per cent of funds directed to assisting homeless individuals. No funds are used for administration, and Rotary receives regular financial updates along with de-identified case stories demonstrating outcomes. Real Results for Noosa Since October 2022, Noosa Daybreak Rotary has contributed $72,000 to the SARB project. By March 2026, 180 people had been assisted through short-term motel accommodation, combined with intensive support from a Salvation Army Case Management Officer. This support includes developing individual plans to re-enter the community and assistance with applications for longer-term housing. The outcomes have been strong. By the conclusion of the SARB support period, 78 per cent of participants had secured accommodation.
Noosa Daybreak Rotary annual Bookfest raises money to help the homeless. (Supplied) Of the remaining participants, 68 per cent later went on to obtain long-term housing. More recently, the Salvation Army has identified a growing number of women over the age of 55 experiencing homelessness in the Noosa region. Many have been left without accommodation or financial support and are forced to sleep in their cars. The current focus of SARB includes providing these women with safe respite accommodation, improved security, and access to a Case Manager to help stabilise their circumstances and move toward permanent housing. How the Community Can Help Local residents who wish to support this
practical, locally focused initiative are encouraged to get involved. Donations to the Salvation Army Rotary Blessing Fund can be made by contacting the Salvation Army in Noosaville on (07) 5335 8500, with funds directed specifically to the SARB project. Homelessness is a challenge that affects the whole Noosa community, and meaningful change depends on collective action. By supporting initiatives like SARB—whether through donations, volunteering, or advocacy— locals can help ensure that vulnerable people in our region have a pathway to safety, stability, and long-term housing. Remember, addressing
homelessness is a responsibility shared by the whole community. If you’ve had a fulfilling career and are interested in ‘Giving Back’ to the community, you are invited to join us, Noosa Daybreak Rotary, at Noosa Marina, Cafe VinCino. We meet every Thursday at 7:15am for about an hour or so, and breakfast. We are a group of around 24 people who live in and around Noosa. We raise funds and support organizations that assist people in our community. Come and have a chat with us and enjoy breakfast!

Local men need a shed By Mal Price Some people wonder why men need a Men’s Shed. Presumably, they think a retired bloke will happily spend the next 20 years at home, pottering around the garden and watching daytime television. Clearly, they have never met a retired bloke. The Noosa Men’s Shed Annual Open and Sale Day is on Saturday 3 October, and the public is invited. The ladies from the Noosa Women’s Shed, conveniently positioned across the road, are of course, also welcome, along with their partners. The Men’s Shed movement began in Australia when the Australian Men’s Shed Association was formed in Newcastle in 2007. There are now around 1,200 sheds across Australia, with the model also established in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and North America. Men everywhere have discovered that being told to “get out more” is easier if there is somewhere worth going. Noosa has taken the concept seriously. Calling the Noosa Men’s Shed a “shed” is a bit of a misnomer. There are multiple sheds scattered across a pleasant site made possible through the generosity of Unitywater. They include two Woodwork Sheds, a Metal Shed, Hobbies Shed, Art and Model Railway Shed, Music Shed with four bands, Beekeeping Shed, Gardening Shed, Hydroponics Shed, Health and Fitness Shed, Construction Shed and the Noosa Mates Shed that has the admirable objective of getting out into the community to help disadvantaged people with minor house and garden needs. The Construction Shed blokes have electrical, plumbing, carpentry and engineering skills. Give them a building project and they always produce something magnificent while enjoying the camaraderie of working together. That’s the nature of the place. But the Shed isn’t really about wood-
Building team having a breather. (Supplied)
Noosa Men’s Shed (aerial view) work, metalwork, gardening, model railways, beekeeping or music. It is about men being around other men. There are now more than 200 members, aged from their 30s into their early 90s. Some have illnesses or disabilities. Some are extraordinarily fit. Some are experts at nearly everything. Others are experts at thinking they are experts. Nobody particularly cares. They come to build, grow, repair, clean, help someone else or simply sit down with a coffee and talk absolute rubbish for an hour. That last activity may be the most important. Men are not always good at announcing that they are lonely or struggling. They are generally better at saying, “G’day mate, how
Alfresco morning tea for Hobby Shed. (Supplied) are ya?” and then spending an hour discussing lawnmowers. That’s how conversations start and friendships develop. That’s how a bloke who might otherwise spend the day alone becomes part of something. The Shed provides a safe, happy environment where men can laugh, have a yarn, learn, contribute or simply turn up. Nobody has to achieve anything. You don’t have to build a cabinet, operate machinery or know the difference between a phillipshead or flathead screwdriver. You can
just turn up, have a chat, stay for morning tea, go home and come back next week. Because sometimes the most productive thing a bloke can do is discover he isn’t on his own. So, if you think Men’s Sheds are simply places where old blokes play with power tools, come along on Saturday 3 October and have a look. The Shed isn’t really about sheds at all. It’s about mateship, belonging and keeping men connected to the world around them. The tools are just the bait.

Lions rally behind hospice By Steve Linnell Members of the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club have helped boost an annual fundraising appeal for Queensland’s only children’s hospice. The Lions handed over a $1000 cheque to Hummingbird House after five members volunteered at a barbecue outside Coles Peregian Springs on Sunday, September 13. The barbecue raised a further $375, with the club deciding to donate an additional $1000 to the appeal. For the past 13 years, Coles supermarkets have run an annual appeal for Hummingbird House, with this year’s appeal running from September 9 to 22. Customers are invited to support the appeal simply by rounding up their transaction total to the nearest dollar. Hummingbird House opened its doors in 2016 and provides specialised paediatric palliative care to babies, children and young people living with life-limiting conditions, as well as support for their families. The Brisbane-based hospice is one of only three children’s hospices in Australia and the only one in Queensland. Over the past decade, hundreds of Queensland families have been supported by its specialised team, with care available at the purpose-built hospice, in the family home or within the community. Services include paediatric palliative care, symptom management and respite care, helping families make precious memories during difficult times. The hospice says every cent raised through its fundraising appeals goes towards providing care and support for children and their families. The Tewantin Noosa Lions Club supports a range of community causes across the Noosa region. For more information about the Lions club, visit www.tewantinnoosalions.com.au More information about Hummingbird House is available at www.hummingbirdhouse. org.au

Train your own assistance dog
10 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 September, 2026
The Petstock Foundation and PTSD Dogs Australia have announced they are partnering up to fund places in PTSD Dogs Australia’s Train Your Own Assistance Dog program, opening applications to those living with a disability who could not otherwise afford professional assistance dog training. The two organisations share a common purpose: empowering a better future for dogs and for the people who need them. The Petstock Foundation exists to strengthen the bond between pets and people, and PTSD Dogs train assistance and therapy dogs for the greater community living with mental health issues, including Veterans and 000 First Responders. Together, the partnership funds five fully paid scholarship positions (known as the Petstock Foundation Scholarship) for people who genuinely can’t afford professional training, but need the life-changing support an assistance dog offers. Rather than joining a waiting list for a fully trained dog, scholarship recipients learn to train their own dog directly, working hands-on alongside PTSD Dogs’s trauma-informed training team. The program includes twice-weekly group training on the Sunshine Coast, a complete online training program, and ongoing support from a private community of handlers and trainers. Over the course of the Scholarship, participants learn to train their own dog from the ground up, working alongside PTSD Dogs trainers rather than simply receiving a finished dog. The curriculum covers: •Foundation obedience and impulse control, built on positive reinforcement •Engagement and focus: regular “checkins” that keep the dog tuned in to the handler throughout training and everyday outings •Public access skills: keeping their dog calm and reliable in cafes, on public transport, and in crowded or unfamiliar spaces •Positional tasks that create space and safety: “block,” “cover,” “go ahead” and “go behind,” used to manage crowds and give their handler room •Contact and grounding tasks: nuzzle/touch alerts, “over,” snuggle positioning, bear hugs, and deep pressure therapy •Retrieval, balance work and scent work: practical support tasks tailored to the handler’s
own disability •Reading and responding to human cues: dogs are natural readers of body language, facial expression and tone of voice, and learn to use those cues as the trigger for a trained task •Reading canine body language and communication in return, so handlers understand what their dog is telling them •Ongoing troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, so training keeps progressing between group sessions For participants, the change reaches well beyond the dog’s skills. Learning to train their own assistance dog builds routine, purpose and structure into daily life, and the process itself, showing up each week, practicing and problem-solving within a supportive community, does as much for a person’s confidence and independence as the finished skills do. Handlers regularly describe regaining the confidence to leave the house, reconnecting with their community, and feeling genuinely in control of their own recovery, often for the first time. The program is designed to work alongside participants’ existing medical and psychological care, not replace it. The program’s ultimate goal is for participants to achieve formal recognition as an assistance dog team, certified by PTSD Dogs Australia under Queensland’s Guide, Hearing and Assistance Dogs Act 2009 (GHAD). Applications are open now to anyone who: •Already has a puppy or adolescent dog to train: the program is not able to accept applicants without a dog, or whose dog is already fully grown •Lives with a disability and is currently under the care of a medical professional •Lives within a 150km radius of Noosa, and is prepared to travel there for group training •Can attend group training on the Sunshine Coast twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays, 9am) •Has access to the internet and a working Facebook account, to complete the online training program and join the private support community. Only five positions are available this round. Applications close 31 October 2026. To apply, or for more information, visit https://ptsddogs.org.au/petstock-foundation-scholarship/

Recognising the police force When people face the worst day of their lives, police are often the first to arrive. Police attend road crashes, domestic violence incidents, crime scenes, disasters and emergencies. They knock on doors to deliver heartbreaking news, comfort victims, support families, and risk their own safety to protect their communities. As a former Queensland police officer who served for 16 years in Wide Bay communities, including Noosa, I am proud to support National Police Week 2026. Police Week commenced on 12 September when we gathered at the National Police Memorial for the 16th annual Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance Commemorative Service and will conclude on Police Remembrance Day on Tuesday 29 September. Every day, police officers put on their uniform knowing they may be called upon to face danger and tragedy. What the public often doesn’t see is the emotional toll that comes with that responsibility. Police officers carry the heavy weight of difficult experiences long after a shift has ended. They work around the clock and often miss family birthdays and celebrations. Yet despite these challenges, they continue to serve with professionalism and dedication. That is why Police Week is so important. It provides an opportunity for Australians to recognise the extraordinary contribution that police officers make to our communities. It is a chance to say thank you not only to those currently serving, but also to the retired officers who have dedicated years of their lives to public service. It is also a time to acknowledge the families
behind the badge. Policing is never an individual undertaking. Every officer relies on the support of partners, parents, children and friends. They are the ones who share the burdens and uncertainties that come with the job. Their sacrifice is often unseen, but it is no less significant. And while Police Week is a time of recognition, National Police Remembrance Day is a time of reflection. For police officers, serving and retired alike, it is one of the most solemn days of the year. It is a day when we remember those who did not come home. We remember the 832 police members who have died while on duty. We remember their service, their courage and their commitment to protecting others. But more than that, we remember the people behind the uniform and the lives they lived beyond the badge. For those of us who have worn the uniform, these names are not simply entries on an honour roll. They are colleagues, mentors and friends. Their loss is felt not only by their families, but by an entire policing community that never forgets them. Police Remembrance Day reminds us that the safety and security we often take for granted comes with a price. It serves as a powerful reminder that policing is not without risk and that the freedoms and security we enjoy often have a profound cost. During Police Week, and on Police Remembrance Day, I ask all Australians to pause and reflect on the great job that our police do for us every day they put on their uniform, every day they go out and protect every good citizen in society, and every day they risk their own safety on behalf of the people whom they serve. My office is always here to help in any matter controlled by the Australian Government.

Key structural strengthening work on the Doonella Bridge upgrade is progressing well, with another significant milestone reached this week. Installing pile encasements beneath the bridge remains the focus along with preparing retaining walls on the eastern side of the bridge. Five pile encasements have been installed already. Construction crews are making solid progress, with a major concrete pour scheduled for mid next week. “The project team is doing an exceptional job in progressing the work,” Acting Infrastructure Services director Bill Haddrill said. “The recent fine weather has certainly helped, and the installation of the pile encasements marks another key milestone in the multi-million-dollar upgrade,” he said. The structural strengthening being carried out will extend the life of the 58-year-old bridge and ensure it continues to meet current and future transport demands.

Paws for a good cause By Steve Linnell Cooroy will go to the dogs next month when Bark in the Park returns to raise money and awareness for the prevention of domestic and family violence. The popular community fundraising event will be held at Apex Park, opposite the Cooroy Library, from 9.30am on Sunday, October 18. This year’s event is being organised and managed by students from the Rotary Interact Club at Noosa District State High School, with support from the Rotary Club of Cooroy. Participants can bring their dogs, another friendly animal or simply turn up to enjoy the morning and support the students’ fundraising efforts. The event includes a short, off-road 30-minute walk designed to be suitable for people of all ages and abilities. Cooroy Rotary president Carol Johnston said the club was proud to support the students. “Cooroy Rotary is delighted to support the youngsters in the high school Interact Club,” Ms Johnston said. “Their commitment to our community and to help those less fortunate is a credit to them and to the school.” She encouraged the community to get behind the event. “I hope as many as possible will be able to come and support the students on the day,” she said. Money raised from Bark in the Park will be donated to initiatives aimed at preventing domestic and family violence. The Rotary Interact program gives young people opportunities to become involved in community projects and develop leadership skills, with the Cooroy students taking responsibility for organising the local event. Bark in the Park is also an opportunity for the wider community to come together in a relaxed setting while supporting an important cause. Organisers are encouraging families, dog owners and animal lovers to attend and take part in the walk.Bark in the Park, Apex Park, Cooroy, Sunday, October 18, from 9.30am.

Regional Queensland is recording a higher rate of drug overdose deaths than greater Brisbane, with a new national report warning that Australia is facing an escalating overdose crisis. The Penington Institute’s Australia’s Annual Overdose Report 2026 found regional Queensland recorded 7.9 unintentional drug-induced deaths per 100,000 people in 2024, compared with 6.8 per 100,000 in greater Brisbane. Queensland recorded 417 unintentional drug-induced deaths during the year – the highest number in the state since national records began in 2001. Penington Institute chief executive John Ryan described the latest report as making for “shocking reading”. “In 2024, the number of drug-induced deaths in Australia reached the highest level ever recorded,” Mr Ryan said. “Nearly 2600 people died. Unintentional drug-induced deaths surpassed 2000 for the first time, reaching the highest rate in the 24-year data series.” The national figures show the problem is not confined to capital cities or particular sections of the community. Mr Ryan said Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia had all recorded their highest number of unintentional drug-induced deaths in the data series. “The scale of these deaths is difficult to comprehend,” he said. “Drug-induced deaths are among the leading cause of death for all Australians in their 20s, 30s and 40s. “This is a crisis that reaches every part of Australian society, affecting people across generations, communities and circumstances.” For regional and rural Queensland, the higher death rate compared with Brisbane highlights the particular challenges of delivering drug treatment, prevention and overdose services outside metropolitan areas. Queensland’s leading drugs involved in unintentional overdose deaths were amphetamine-type stimulants, heroin and benzodiazepines.
Nationally, 2091 people died from unintentional drug-induced causes in 2024, the first time the figure had exceeded 2000. There were also 2596 drug-induced deaths from all causes, making drug-induced deaths substantially more numerous than deaths from road crashes. Mr Ryan said drug-use patterns were changing while the response was not keeping pace. “The harms are increasing. Yet too often, our response remains static,” he said. He singled out the growing number of young people dying from cocaine-related causes and the increase in deaths involving stimulants such as methamphetamine. He also warned that non-fatal overdoses and hospitalisations involving emerging drugs including GHB and ketamine were surging. The report found the number of unintentional deaths involving heroin, cocaine and amphetamine-type stimulants had reached record levels. Mr Ryan said the continuing toll from heroin was particularly frustrating because effective interventions were already available. “Naloxone can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose and is remarkably safe,” he said. “Opioid pharmacotherapy can save lives and improve health outcomes for people who use opioids.” But he said access to those interventions remained uneven. “Yet access to these interventions remains uneven, and too many barriers remain between people and the help that could keep them alive,” Mr Ryan said. “The lesson is not that overdose is a problem confined to certain communities, but rather the opposite – overdose is an Australian problem.” For Queensland’s rural and regional communities, the report puts the spotlight on a problem that can be harder to address where specialist health and drug treatment services are less readily available. Mr Ryan’s message to governments was direct: “We know what works and governments must make it easier for people to access it.” The report’s figures relate to 2024, the latest year for which comprehensive Australian mortality data is available.

Don’t be a tosser Good people of Noosa As a voluntary litter picker, I spend a good deal of time weekly keeping several Noosa roads free of litter. Generally, when I mention in company, “litter picking”, listeners imagine a kindly soul sauntering along picking up the odd discarded tissue, cigarette packet, soft drink can, occasional bottle etc. Perhaps filling a supermarket carrier bag with the rubbish collected. Nothing could be further from the truth. Last Sunday, a beautiful September day, I decided to clear a single kilometre of Walter Hay Drive between the roundabout of Eenie Creek Road and roundabout of Eumarella Road, a stretch totalling 3.5 kilometres between the two. See picture of the result of 5 hours work on just 1km. There are of course two sides to this road, so 7 kilometres. Picture, if you can, the massive pile when I declare “job done”. It will certainly be 7 times what you see in my photo now. I wanted the good people of Noosa to see the magnitude of the problem faced by our Council. This isn’t the outcome of a single event creating a substantial one-off cleaning requirement. It is the build up from daily abuse of our fabulous environment. Essentially an everyday collection includes the whole gamut of cardboard/plastic boxes and wrappers from fast food establishments, wrappers from lollies, plastic/polystyrene coffee cups and containers, bottles and cans. All of this and more, discarded by drivers and passengers throwing it from vehicle windows. I say drivers as anyone who knows the stretch above, also knows there are no pedestrians at all ever. Now add to the litter the huge quantities of unsecured cardboard and plastic packaging lifted
from trucks and Utes by the wind. Every vehicle shunt creates broken bumpers, headlights, wing mirrors and a host of damaged parts laying on the carriageway. This is taken away by the tow trucks when removing the vehicles right? WRONG! All the loose detritus is deposited in the brush beside the road. No doubt those discarding it must think a few hungry wallabies or birds will eat it! Only kidding of course but what do they think makes it ok to dump everything in the brush. Finally, there will be an assortment of larger items, mattresses, fridges, car tyres, sofas, carpet, unwanted household items that the dumpers think has saved them a few dollars by avoiding charges at the tip. Don’t forget the builders and tradies who literally illegally dump your old windows, kitchen, bathroom, paint cans etc, in what they think is a hidden spot. I’ve written this piece solely to bring some general public attention that it is only uncaring humans creating these vast tonnages of rubbish. They are polluting and destroying our environment, killing wildlife and turning once sparkling neighbourhoods into rubbish tips. We can make a difference. You will have seen the road sign, ‘Don’t be a tosser’ Take your rubbish home with you. If you can carry your pizza etc to your vehicle, surely, it’s possible to keep the remains after eating with you, until getting home and using the dustbin? Thanks for reading. Please let’s each play our part by not contributing to the catastrophic litter problem Ben Guy Noosa Heads

Good samaritans Just a quick ‘shout out’ to ALL the local docs, nurses, and admin staff that look after us residents in the NSC. Their tasks are often thankless, and go home to their families at the end of each & every day with someone else’s pain & suffering on their ‘shoulders’. You would think that they are trained to leave their ‘work’ at just that...’work’. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are human just like the rest of us. They care. And if you take the time to acknowledge this fact when in their care, their appreciation is never forgotten. I know this because I have had ongoing treatments for 2 different cancers now over the last 2 and a half years both locally and at SCUH, and the people who have cared for me are wonderful. Believe it or not, they will willingly accept a hug as an acknowledgement of their efforts to help our pain less and our futures so much better. I can’t say “Thank you!” enough to all of you in our community that has given me hope and truly changed my life for the better. M.Griffin, Tewantin

No laughing matter For years we have had a tree log alongside Beckmans Road that looked like a crocodile with its mouth open. Most regular commuters on that road were cognizant of our pet “crocodile”. Some months ago someone added “teeth’ and an eyeball. This was much appreciated, people commuting always had a laugh. Some time later a toy turtle appeared in Croc’s mouth. The turtle then made way for ragdoll “body”. Finally, last week someone added an election photo of Pauline Hanson. This morning a woman was observed pulling apart our favourite “crocodile” depriving our commuters of their entertainment. Maybe she has no sense of humour, or maybe she just wants to deprive other people of a laugh. I am sure Pauline Hanson would not be offended by our local “Croc”, it was all typical Aussie humour.

The Bolton Report I love reading Sandy Boltons Report and we can be very proud of her representing the Noosa electorate in Parliament. She is doing a great job with heart and enthusiasm. The last one, in Noosa Today, 18 September, left me shocked and utterly disappointed. Sandy, in her usually positive writing style
Sunset over Lake Weyba by Taqui Gold. If you have a Lenscape please email it to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au
tells the readers about the raising failings of the Governments lack of responses to urgent matters in our shire and I quote: “The misinformation being perpetrated in this House, and assurances given mean absolutely nothing, is worth than sad..... it is how we are falling as a Parliament. The silence emanating from so many in the face of human suffering is unbelievable”. End Quote. This is part of her speech she will deliver this week.
How frustrating is this All for Sandy and for us living here? Good luck Heidi Schum
Open the envelope An action described by the Robodebt Royal Commissioner as “crude and cruel” and “neither fair
nor legal” and the names of those responsible has been in a sealed envelope for the past few years. Is it now time to open the envelope or has it fallen ‘off the table’ to reside permanently in a dark and forgotten corner? Just asking.

Sometimes the best business ideas begin with a problem that simply refuses to go away. For Jose Correa and his wife Yurely Jimenez, that problem was laundry. Almost nine years ago, the couple were living in a tiny apartment with a washing machine that struggled to cope with even the most basic household loads. A doona would not fit, and even washing three pairs of pants could be a challenge. “We were constantly on a quest to find a decent laundromat,” Jose and Yurely said. “But unfortunately, we couldn’t find what we were looking for. We wanted somewhere clean and nice, where you could sit, relax and get your laundry done without it feeling like such a chore.” Rather than continue searching, the couple decided to create the laundromat they wanted to use themselves. That was the beginning of Sunny Laundromat. What started at Marcoola has since grown into a family-owned Sunshine Coast business with three walk-in laundromats, including the newest location at Noosaville, which opened about two months ago. Marcoola was the first location, followed three years later by Maroochydore. Now, Sunny Laundromat has expanded its reach into the Noosa area at 37 Gateway Drive, Noosaville. The philosophy behind the business, however, has remained the same from day one. “We’ve always been on a quest to make laundry a bit easier,” the couple said. At the three Sunny Laundromat locations, customers can access state-of-the-art, high-capacity washing machines and dryers capable of handling the bulky items that can be difficult to wash at home. That includes large doonas, bedding, towels and other linen, as well as everyday clothing. The laundromats have both traditional coin-operated machines and credit-card readers, providing customers with a choice of convenient payment options. Free Wi-Fi and music throughout the day are also part of the experience, while the clean and comfortable environment is designed to make the sometimes mundane job of doing laundry a little more enjoyable. “We want people to feel comfortable coming into our laundromats,” Jose and Yurely said. And Sunny Laundromat is not just about self-service washing.
The business has developed a commercial laundry operation specifically designed to help businesses in the region, with a particular focus on Airbnb and holiday accommodation linen. For Airbnb cleaners, hosts and property managers, preparing accommodation between guests can involve a demanding laundry workload – particularly when several properties are involved and turnaround times are tight. Sunny Laundromat’s commercial service is designed to take that burden away. The service includes professional washing, drying and folding, high-capacity commercial equipment, fast and reliable turnaround times and flexible arrangements tailored to individual business requirements. The team also understands the importance of keeping linen organised between properties, helping businesses minimise the risk of laundry becoming mixed up between different accommodation locations. Commercial laundry services are available from Sunny Laundromat’s facilities at Marcoola and Noosaville. For the family behind the business, the equipment is only part of the equation. Customer service remains just as important as having powerful machines. The experienced team is available to help customers and businesses get the most from the service, whether they are tackling a particularly large load of household washing or looking for an ongoing commercial laundry solution. “If someone has an issue, we’re always happy to help,” they said. That approach has helped Sunny Laundromat grow from a simple solution to a problem in a small apartment into a family business serving customers across the Sunshine Coast. For Noosa residents, the arrival of the Noosaville location provides another convenient option for those with large or bulky laundry loads. For the region’s thriving holiday accommodation industry, it also offers a local commercial laundry service designed to save valuable time and take one more job off the hands of busy hosts, managers and cleaners. From a doona that would not fit in a washing machine to three locations across the Sunshine Coast, Jose and Yurely’s original idea has certainly grown. But the goal remains remarkably simple. “We’ve always been on a quest to make laundry a bit easier.”

PICK OF THE WEEK
MY KITCHEN RULES Seven, Monday, 7.30pm
The penultimate episode of season 12 takes place in the cut-thread world of Kembleford’s sewing circle, which is recovering from a recent leadership stoush between Violet Goodfellow (Naomi Radcliffe) and ambitious up-andcomer Catherine Glover (Carlyss Peer, Dalgleish). The group is working on a tapestry depicting the history of the parish, soon to be unveiled at St Mary’s. But when Miss Glover is found murdered, Sergeant Goodfellow (John Burton, pictured) finds himself on a case where both his wife and his best friend (Gavin and Stacey ’s Robert Wilfort) are suspects. He turns to Father Brown (Mark Williams) for help as his investigation comes apart at the seams.
From food-loving farmers to bold bogan besties and a seriously chic creative couple, this 16th season of MKR has it all. Showcasing the country’s funny, friendly and feisty home cooks, this year’s competition focuses on real people and the dishes they love to serve. It begins in the Gold Coast hinterland, where wholesome motherdaughter team Krysten and Lucy (both pictured) are ready to impress with their instant restaurant, Puggles – named for the baby platypuses that live in their nearby creek. While their beef tartare entrée and paella main aim to set the bar high, the proof will be in the pudding when self-taught baker Lucy serves her signature mango-coconut croissant puff sweet rice dessert.
PELLEGRINI’S: A MELBOURNE LEGACY SBS Food, Sunday, 8.30pm
It’s the coffee capital of the world today, but prior to 1954, it was practically impossible to find a shot of espresso in Melbourne. Anyone having a coffee was likely drinking percolated or instant – a hard fact to swallow for most Melburnians today. All that changed when Italian brothers Leo and Vildo Pellegrini opened a small café on Bourke Street, installed the first espresso machine in the heart of Melbourne and began a revolution. Crafted as a love letter to the city and the community that has grown around the now-iconic venue, this film explores the pioneering cultural influence of Pellegrini’s and the enduring legacy of its late owner, Sisto Malaspina (pictured right with business partner Nino Pangrazzio in 2015), who made every visitor feel like a guest in his home.

Unlike traditional agencies where property management can sit alongside a large sales division, Range is proudly property management focused. Sienna works closely with Property Manager India Causebrook to provide owners with direct access to an experienced local team who know their properties, their tenants and their individual investment goals. For Sienna, great property management goes well beyond collecting rent. It’s about protecting an owner’s asset, maximising its performance, maintaining strong communication and addressing the small things before they become bigger problems.

For Alex Harris, real estate has never simply been about property. It is about people, trust and the privilege of representing someone through one of life’s most significant financial and personal decisions. As Principal of Noosa4Sale, Alex has built a reputation for highly personal service, astute negotiation and an unwavering commitment to her clients. With more than 150 five-star seller reviews, her business has grown largely through referrals and repeat clients, which she considers the greatest measure of success. Alex brings an unusually broad perspective to real estate. Before entering the industry, she enjoyed an international career spanning publishing, business strategy and corporate reputation, including founding an award-winning business magazine in North America and later advising organisations on reputation risk and trust. She is also the author of the books, Reputation at Risk (2009) and Representation (2026). Today, that experience underpins a distinctly different approach to selling property: thoughtful strategy, sophisticated marketing, candid advice and fierce advocacy for the people she represents. A proud Noosa local. 2015 Best Agent Noosa (Rate My Agent) and 2024 Sunshine Coast Business Award winner, Alex is deeply embedded in the community she loves. Her philosophy is simple: “It is a privilege to be trusted.”

Meet Your Local Real Estate Agent
For me, Tewantin isn’t just a real estate market; it’s my lifelong home. My family has been deeply woven into the fabric of this wonderful community since 1979, and real estate is quite literally in my blood. Following in the footsteps of my father, a respected local agent, I’ve spent the last five years building my own career on a foundation of trust, deep local knowledge, and genuine care for the people who live here.
I have a real love for beautiful, luxury and high-end properties, but I get just as much excitement from selling a knockdown with potential or a brand-new build. Every property has a story, and I embrace each one as though it is my first.
Justin Sykes
Whether you are selling a cherished family home or looking to buy your own piece of Tewantin, I would be honored to guide you. Let’s navigate your real estate journey together, with a local who truly cares.

*Verified client reviews from realestate.com.au
Coming from a background in hospitality, I learned early that making people feel comfortable, listened to and genuinely cared for is at the heart of great service. That is something I carry with me into every property campaign. Selling or buying a home can be an incredibly personal experience, and I want my clients to feel safe, supported and confident every step of the way.
I know the streets, the properties, and the people that make Tewantin so special because I’ve been part of it my entire life. To me, you aren’t just another transaction—you are my neighbor.
Buyer of house in Tewantin “Justin was undoubtedly thorough with handling my purchase at auction. It went so smoothly and absolutely no stress whatsoever. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Justin” Seller of residential land in Tinbeerwah “Very professional. Did what needed to be done when I had other ideas that were not correct. I instantly defaulted to his judgement and accepted the great offer that he had negotiated with the buyer. A very satisfying experience.”
For me, real estate has always been about people first and property second.

Jamie believes the best real estate agents aren’t remembered simply for the homes they sell. They’re remembered for how they make people feel during one of life’s biggest decisions. Growing up in humble beginnings in Cornwall, England, taught Jamie resilience long before it taught him ambition. After emigrating to the Sunshine Coast in 2013, he immersed himself in the local community through surf coaching, lifeguarding and teaching, patrolling beaches from Twin Waters to Noosa and helping deliver the Sport and Recreation Certificate through the surfing program at Sunshine Beach State High School. Long before his real estate career began, he built his reputation around helping people, earning trust and remaining calm under pressure.
Before relocating to Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, Jessica co-owned and grew a successful Ray White agency in Brisbane’s prestigious inner-west. Prior to business ownership, she worked as a Business Performance Coach for Ray White Queensland, mentoring, coaching and training business owners across the state. This unique combination of leadership, business strategy and frontline sales experience gives her clients the advantage of working with an agent who understands not only how to sell property, but how to strategically position, market and negotiate every campaign to achieve exceptional outcomes.

Discovering her passion for real estate at a young age, Jessica achieved success early in her career and has since been recognised with some of the industry’s highest accolades, including REIQ Rookie of the Year, REIQ Business Development Manager of the Year and REB Business Development Manager of the Year Finalist.

There are plenty of numbers that could define James Callianiotis: 39 years in real estate, more than 7,000 auctions, national sales awards, leadership roles, business ownership and a career spanning Australia, Germany and the UK. He has co-founded and built his own franchise group, served as CEO of one of Australia’s largest real estate groups and, since the early 1990s, shared his experience as a keynote speaker at major international real estate events. But ask James what matters most and the answer is much simpler. People. After decades in the industry, James believes real estate should still feel personal. He doesn’t simply step in as the front man before handing the important work to an assistant or associate. He remains personally involved in the work that drives the result: conducting his own opens, communicating directly with clients, providing candid market feedback and guiding each campaign from preparation through to final negotiation. His experience brings perspective. His personal approach brings confidence. Ultimately, choosing an agent is about finding the right person for you, your property and your goals. Someone whose experience you trust, whose approach feels right and who will be genuinely involved when it matters most. As James puts it: “If you have a great agent you’re happy with and trust, stay with them. If you don’t, shop around and see who fits best for you.”
Backed by the local knowledge and experience of Williamson & Co., Sepi combines the personal care of a trusted friend with the focus and professionalism of a skilled agent. She stays closely involved before, during and after the sale, making clients feel informed, supported and confident at every stage.

24 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 September, 2026
Leaving the family home and downsizing can feel overwhelming — and sometimes, it can even feel like you’re moving to “God’s waiting room.” But it doesn’t have to be that way! I help people transition through this important stage of life — whether that’s moving from the family home, downsizing, or selling in a retirement village. My role is about much more than buying and selling. I can help you declutter, prepare and present your home so it looks its very best, with the aim of achieving the best possible price. Think of it as a way to find a lifestyle that gives you more time to enjoy the things you want to do, rather than the things you have to do.
I’m here to help make that transition easier — from the home you’re leaving, to the life you’re moving towards.

A Local Connection, Built on Relationships For Heath McOrist, calling the Sunshine Coast home is the result of a connection that began long before he entered real estate. As a child, annual family holidays to Noosa sparked a love of the region that has stayed with him for decades. Today, Heath lives locally with his wife, two daughters and their much-loved Golden Retriever pup Lily, and feels fortunate to call this special part of the world home. His professional career has taken him around the globe. Heath spent more than 20 years in the United States working in luxury hospitality and sales, including a decade with the renowned Pebble Beach Resorts in California. It was an experience that shaped his belief that prolonged success is built on developing genuine relationships, trust and delivering exceptional client service. Heath’s own property journey here in Noosa began in the early 2000s with a unit purchase in Noosa International, giving him a personal appreciation for the lifestyle, communities and property that make the region so sought after. Today, with Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty, he combines that local connection with an international perspective. Away from work, Heath enjoys early morning rounds of golf, travelling, walking the beach with Lily and, most importantly, spending time with his family. For Heath, it’s a simple approach: work hard, look after people and relish in where we live.

Spending time in Portugal There is something beautiful and magical about Portugal – it’s little wonder that so many Brits choose to spend their retirement in this stunning country and so many of us from across the equator go to visit each year. Viking have a cruise that gives a taste of this stunning country, it’s food, wine, history, culture, beautiful scenery and stunning music. Imagine spending 10-days enjoying a cruise on one of Viking’s Longships as part of their Portugal River of Gold journey from Lisbon to Porto. Unpacking once and then taking a cruise down the Douro River through Portugal to touch on Spain before returning back to Porto on a roundtrip through history. Exploring Lisbon, Portugal’s lively capital, where winding streets lead to historic cathedrals and grand plazas before sailing the roundtrip from Porto, through the Douro River Valley, the world’s oldest demarcated wine region and a UNESCO Site, where rural quintas line the hillsides and touching on Spain with a visit to Salamanca, home to one of Iberia’s oldest universities, before returning to Porto to enjoy its iconic fortified wine, local dishes and soulful fado music. And it all starts in Lisbon – a city that has inspired explorers for centuries with its stunning setting at the Tagus River’s mouth. Its labyrinthine streets carry echoes of 16th-century navigators who sailed on the winds of the Age of Discovery. The city prospered greatly from its trade. And today’s streets are lined with the legacies of wealthy builders, including the Jerónimos Monastery and Belem Tower, stunning works that introduced Manueline architecture. Savoring local cuisine and port wine are favorite pastimes here. On any evening, the strains of fadospill from clubs in the historic Alfama District. Throughout Lisbon, fascinating monuments tell the city’s proud story. Along the riverfront, in Praça do Comercio, an equestrian statue at its center represents Portugal’s King Jose I, who capably rebuilt the city following the devastating 1755 earthquake. Among the most recognized of Lisbon’s monuments is the grand Monument to the Discoveries on the banks of the Tagus River, displaying statues of more than 30 contributors to exploration, whose bravery and spirit still shape the culture of this vibrant European capital. And then it’s on to Porto – to start and finish that trip down the Douro River – back in time in a way – at the very least, a very different country to our own. Porto holds a place of great traditional importance. The town lends its name to the port wine produced in the region and throughout the nation. Located along a rocky embankment, the city boasts picturesque neighborhoods, fashionable restaurants and lively markets.

TAG artists aid students By Jim Fagan The Tinbeerwah Art Group has given a $2000 boost to local charity Thursday Girls Noosa for its work in supporting families with school age children with needs like uniforms, learning aids, excursions and academic pursuits. Forty artists showed their talents with a selection of their work at the group’s annual show last weekend —something TAG has done since it was formed by Noosa artist the late Gwen Blair in 1994—with a percentage of the sales, raffles
and gold coin donations going to the charity. Champagne flowed and many paintings were sold at the Gala Opening night last Friday at a packed Tinbeerwah Hall. Guests included Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and Mayor Frank Wilkie who heard Thursday Girls vice chair Kim Adkins speak about the work of her charity that was started 17 years ago. Thanking TAG for its gift, Kim said every penny would be used for “our projects to help children in need. For many art is therapy and an exciting project we have is at a local school
which has a group of 20 students who are struggling. “It’s difficult to cope in our media-driven society, some have troubled home lives or anxiety about attending school, particularly since Covid-19. All these factors contribute to their distress. “The school chaplain reached out to us to organize a mural project on a blank school wall. This will be painted by these students under the guidance of an experienced art teacher and we are donating the $3900 fee. We love doing in-
novative projects and the school is abuzz with excitement.” TAG committee member Jan Cooke said the exhibition had on display acrylic, oil, water colour and pastel works with a wide range of styles, including realism and abstract. Winner of the Margaret Connolly Hangers Prize was Dave Gilbert who received a $100 gift voucher donated by Noosa Office Choice Tewantin and consolation prizewinner was Jeanne Williamson. She said TAG would like to thank everyone for their fantastic support and generosity.

Brisbane chamber concert is coming to the region Brisbane’s Ensemble Trivium brings together some of Queensland’s leading chamber musicians for a special concert series in Maleny, Pomona, Eudlo, Cleveland and Coolum this October and November, presented by Red Chair. Centred around flute, violin and viola, Ensemble Trivium is known for warm, engaging performances that bring together timeless masterpieces, contemporary works and forgotten gems. The program opens with Claude Debussy’s Sonata for flute, viola and harp, a luminous work that brings together delicate textures and quiet beauty. Jean Françaix’s String Trio follows with wit, elegance and charm, before American composer and multiple Grammy Award winner Caroline Shaw’s Limestone & Felt creates a magical interplay of playful pizzicatos and delicate, ancient-sounding harmonies. The concert concludes with Joseph Jongen’s Concert à cinq, a richly layered work for flute, string trio and harp that combines virtuosic writing with warmth and expressive depth. The ensemble is led by flautist Monika Koerner, a critically acclaimed musician and regular principal flute with Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra. Koerner has performed with leading Australian ensembles including Ensemble Q, Southern Cross Soloists and Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and has toured extensively throughout Europe, Taiwan and Australia. She is joined by violinist Anne Horton, a former member of the Australian String Quartet and Tankstream Quartet, violist Yoko Okayasu, former Principal Violist of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and guest artists cellist Alison Smith-O’Connell and harpist Lucy Reeves. Together, these musicians bring decades of performance experience from major Australian
(Supplied) 579086 01 and international orchestras and chamber ensembles to a program that moves effortlessly between the familiar and the unexpected. “This is a program that really shows what chamber music can do,” said Red Chair Director Angie Dunbavan. “There are beautiful, wellloved works alongside music that audiences may be hearing for the first time. Ensemble Trivium brings together an extraordinary group of musicians, and we’re delighted to share their work with audiences across South East Queensland.”

Presented by Red Chair, the tour continues a commitment to bringing high-quality live music experiences to regional communities, connecting audiences with some of Australia’s finest musicians. This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland. Jointly supported by Sunshine Coast Council’s Arts and Heritage Levy and the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) in partnership with the Queensland Government.
A new-look Sunday market is set to bring fresh life to Noosa Marina, with the waterfront precinct preparing for the relaunch of its markets on September 27. The Noosa Marina Sunday Markets will run from 8am to 2pm, offering locals and visitors a combination of handmade goods, food, live music and one of Noosa’s most recognisable riverfront views. Market-goers will be able to browse stalls featuring locally made art, jewellery, fashion, homewares, gifts and gourmet produce, with an emphasis on original and handcrafted products. But organisers say the setting will be just as important as what is being sold. The Marina provides sweeping views across the Noosa River, with passing boats and the changing river landscape providing a backdrop to the Sunday event. Sunshine Coast Music and Events Creative Director Lea Taylor said the markets were intended to highlight the Marina and its waterfront location. “We want to showcase Noosa Marina and the Noosa River as one of the most iconic and beautiful destinations on the Sunshine Coast,” she said. “Many people don’t realise how beautiful the Noosa River is from the Marina. “It’s a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee, browse quality local products, meet friends and simply take in the view.” The relaunch will also introduce families to the new Noosa Marina Treasure Hunt, which is designed as a permanent attraction at the precinct. Children can use a Treasure Map to search for seven hidden sea creatures around the Marina, with real-life pirates and mermaids joining the September 27 launch for treasure hunts and games. Food and entertainment will also feature, with live music and a range of options for breakfast, lunch and treats. The Marina can be reached by car, bus, bicycle, scooter or on foot, while the Noosa Ferry provides another option, with services travelling from Hastings Street and along the

Noosa don’t miss the opportunity to experience Tex Perkins and Matt Walker as they celebrate the release of one of their most personal and compelling recordings together.

The result is a warm, intimate collection of songs, rooted primarily in acoustic folk-blues with Tex’s familiar brand of storytelling’.

Great Moscow Circus show By Jacqueline Trewin The Great Moscow Circus’ all-new Extreme show brought magic to Noosa on Friday night, captivating audiences with breathtaking acrobatics, daring stunts and world-class performances. After last performing in Noosa in 2022, following COVID-related touring disruptions, the Great Moscow Circus has returned four years later, raising the bar with aerial artistry, high-flying acrobatics, daring stunts and comedy. “It’s the best Moscow Circus we’ve presented in the last 15 years, I reckon, and the performers we’ve had are the best ones we’ve had in a long time,” Marketing Manager Mark Edgely said. “I just love the talent, energy, new tricks, new acts, and the way it’s become like Cirque du Soleil, how it’s changed, the lighting, sound, the production.” For Mark, who also manages Prawn Star Mooloolaba with his wife Tanya, returning to Noosa was particularly special as he watched his daughter Maya perform as a solo aerialist. “I’m really proud of her. She’s only just turned 11 this week, a strong little girl who’s just so amazing, has a lot of mum in her, and a great little performer who’s learning all about entertainment,” he said. Mark said Maya began learning aerials about four to five years ago, alongside gymnastics and Varelia. The opening set a distinctly Russian tone, with performers in traditional costumes gathering around a bonfire as snow fell, before 34 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 September, 2026
breaking into folk dancing against a winter backdrop of Moscow’s iconic Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Internationally acclaimed Argentine juggler and comic performer Michel Cárdenas Rojas, a fifth-generation circus artist, proves he’s no Bozo, juggling six balls, rings and rolling pins before demanding louder applause with exaggerated gestures. The pace soon accelerates as the aerialists take to the air, climbing flowing silks, twisting, wrapping and dropping through a series of breathtaking suspended manoeuvres. Performing to Britney Spears’ Toxic, Maya captivates the crowd with her aerial routine, showcasing her years of training. An older aerialist follows, displaying remarkable strength, balance and agility high above the audience before rapidly twirling her way down to complete her performance. Ella of Tewantin said the aerialists were among the highlights of the show. “The show was spectacular. So much variety, and I was particularly amazed at the bravery of the youngest aerialist,” she said. The aerial artistry gives way to physical comedy as the trampoline performers bounce to dizzying heights, flipping backwards, striking comical poses mid-air and launching themselves diagonally in perfect sync. Laughter follows as Michel returns with a “horse” attached to him, transforming into a larger-than-life slapstick performer and bringing his own brand of comedy to the arena. The comedy gives way to another feat of
skill as a performer spins inside a giant hula hoop before later juggling as he moves, creating a mesmerising display of balance, timing and control. A hand-balancing acrobat takes the skill to another level, holding his body horizontally on one arm while gripping a cane atop a raised platform fitted with three upright hand-balancing canes. The spectacle continues high above the audience as a girl in a glittering leotard swings upside down in a trapeze-like position, with her foot around a rope, before rising high and spinning rapidly down to a soft landing. As if the crowd wasn’t already having enough fun, showgirls enter the audience for a lively game of volleyball with large beach balls, sending them back and forth between performers and spectators. The action continues as a young performer balances on a mini unicycle atop a tightrope, leaping over a flame before executing the splits while holding an umbrella. The mood takes a playful turn as a giant fluorescent slinky takes the audience back to the ’80s, swinging its “hips” to techno music and bringing a comical twist before AC/DC heralds the arrival of the motorbike riders. Suddenly, the roar of engines fills the arena. An adult and a young rider thrill the crowd with wheelies, a somersault and spectacular jumps, including one daring mid-air manoeuvre with the rider’s legs kicked sideways. Michel brings the audience back into the action, inviting three volunteers on stage for a
hilarious dance routine. One is dressed up to copy Michel’s moves to Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, while another dons a bunny costume for Gangnam Style. The comedy continues to Joe Cocker’s You Can Leave Your Hat On, before Michel arranges the volunteers on chairs in a square, gradually removing them until they remain seated in formation as though suspended in mid-air. The laughter eventually gives way to another display of trust and precision as two handto-hand acrobats defy gravity with remarkable strength, supporting each other in seemingly impossible positions with astonishing control. Akira of Black Mountain was particularly impressed by the duo. “Those two hand-to-hand acrobats dressed in maroon towards the end were just phenomenal. I was gobsmacked at how much strength and control they had. Incredible!” Akira said. Glamorous dancers in glittering leotards introduce the finale as BMX riders launch themselves over three large ramps, spinning, twisting and somersaulting through the air in a daring finish. Behind the spectacle is an international cast, with this season’s Great Moscow Circus bringing together acts from Argentina, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Germany, Brazil, Colombia, New Zealand and Australia. But, as the saying goes, ‘the show must go on’, with the Great Moscow Circus continuing its Noosa season until Sunday, October 4. For more information, log on to greatmoscowcircus.com.au

Bach ‘first’ for Oriana Choir By Erle Levey One of the most important works in the whole of the history of western music is coming to the Sunshine Coast. In a first for the acclaimed Oriana Choir, the ensemble will perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental St Matthew Passion on Sunday, 8 November. Running from 2pm to 4.30pm, the landmark performance will be held at Venue 114 in Bokarina. Under the baton of acclaimed conductor Kim Kirkman, this extraordinary performance featuring double chorus and double orchestra brings together the rich voices of Oriana Choir, the Sinfonia of St Andrews, a special appearance by the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir, and distinguished soloists Michelle Bull (soprano), Anne Fulton (alto), Liam Jackson (tenor), and Jason BarrySmith (bass). Bach’s great work will be sung in English, allowing audiences to experience the unfolding story and emotional power of the text with an immediacy rarely possible in its original German. The timing is especially significant as 2027 marks 300 years since the St Matthew Passion’s first performance in Leipzig in 1727 – three centuries of a masterpiece that has lost none of its extraordinary power to move, challenge and inspire. “It takes us on a huge emotional journey,’’ oriana artistic director Kim Kirkman said, “ ... the last days, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. “Even though St Matthew Passion tells a dramatic story, there are no surprises in the plot: Jesus is betrayed, he is convicted, and the hero of the story will die in the end. “However, because the plot is so well known, Bach can dwell on the emotions of the story. “The music pulls listeners into reflection, allowing them to delve deeply into the story’s emotions. “It’s a big piece in so many ways … it’s quite
Oriana Choir artistic director and conductor of Bach’s St Matthew Passion, Kim Kirkman. long and includes so many players. “A very challenging composition for the choristers and soloists.’’ For this, the Oriana Choir is divided into two and invites us to join in the remembrance of the telling of this story. Bach’s music serves as a radical challenge to our habits. It does not accommodate our restlessness. Instead, it invites us to slow down and listen. The first action sets up two themes. First, Jesus is preparing himself and his disciples for his death; and second, the Pharisees are plotting to arrest and kill Jesus. The Pharisees were an ancient group of Jews, written about in the Bible, who believed in obeying religious laws very carefully and separated themselves from the ordinary people. Previous artistic director and life member Fay Baker describes it as “a demanding work but magnificent.’’ St Matthew Passion can be compared with Handel’s Messiah as a supreme choral masterpiece.
“While Messiah is performed often, this is an opportunity to experience Bach’s work. “This is a very dramatic work. People should come to see this. “It’s so clever … he uses music to demonstrate an emotion. “This requires a massive thought process. What an experience it will be. “The telling of the story is the difference. “So many choirs sing it in German, but this time it will be in English so the choir and the audience understand it. “It’s only a few days in the life of Jesus but it’s critical to understand the story. “It’s just amazing. How did Bach do it? How did he write it all?’ American conductor, composer and music director Leonard Bernstein describes how the unexpected notes make you wonder what will happen next. Choir 1 is the disciples while Choir 2 is the commentators of the story.
Artistic director and conductor Kim Kirkman loves Bach. He has performed a lot of Bach in the past and used to be the conductor as well as a life member of the Bach Society of Queensland. “When I was 12 - that was in Cairns - I used to listen to Bach’s unaccompanied sonatas and partitas on violin. “I had two cassette tapes and used to listen to about a half an hour each every night for two years. “Being a viola player, we played the Bach cello suites and think of them as our own - so I have a big affinity for the cello as well as the violin.’’ While Oriana Choir has done Handel before, St Matthew Passion creates an independence for singers so they can become strong, and hold their own parts. “It’s quite challenging. We are doing eight parts. “When you can hold your part against seven other parts in an ensemble, and they’re all moving in different times and doing different things, you are working by yourself but with other people. “There’s a sense of development as a singer. The harmonic structure of Bach and the way you listen to harmony, it has its own language. “It takes you to a different place. It teaches you visually how to think aurally. “It’s the emotion that comes through … you can feel the passion. “The intensity that comes through. He’s trying to bring it to life, give colour to it.’’ For Kim Kirkman as a conductor, as a music director, and as an artist, he has always known about this work; how difficult it is - emotionally and musically. “I like a challenge. “You can hear Bach entering into it wholeheartedly … you just have to go with it, you just have to honour it.’’ Further information: https://www.oriana.org. au/

Willoughby and Bovalino are Club Champions By Julian Pitts Sam Willoughby and Maya Bovalino have both been crowned Noosa Tigers Senior Mens and Women’s Best and Fairest at our 2026 Presentstion night at the Villa Noosa last Saturday night. Both were runaway victories with Willoughby defeating Billy Shanks with teenager Rory McKenzie third whilst in the girls former Alice Springs girl Charlotte Rudd finished second with teenagers Yani Delaney Taylor and Ynez Harrop not far behind. Both Willoughby and Bovalino also took out the 2026 media award in what was a fun and very entertaining night. Willoughby has just had a sensational year in the middle for the Tigers. The hard as nails left footer and tackling machine was just a model of consistency the entire year and was also rewarded with a place in the QAFLs team of the year. And the pint sized Bovalino always stood out during Senior Womens games with her dash and elite kicking skills, one of the true influencers in our Senior Womens reaching the Grand Final this year.
Maya Bovalino. (Craig Slaney Photography) Cian Mallon took out the Reserves gong ahead of big powerhouse forward Finn Collisin whilst Colts skipper Jarred Moss comfortably won the colts count with the very popular Harry Bartlett finishing second.
Adam ‘Mica’ Micallef took out the prestigious ‘Doug Murray Award’ for best clubman of the year after his work as our efficient, smiling and outstanding volunteer bar man for 2026. One of the highlights of the night was the tribute to Mav Pettigrove on reaching 150 Senior club games this year which was all class and at times very amusing. Over 120 people packed the Villa Noosa function room for what really was just a great night night. The vibe in the room was fantastic with senior players Tait Niddrie and Kellie Barker presenting their respective teams and awards perfectly. All three men’s teams played QAFL finals for the first time since entering the competition back in 2021 and as mentioned earlier our young Women’s team made a Grand Final. Three of the top 5 finishes in the Senior Best and Fairests for both men and women were teenagers so the future of the Noosa Tigers looks great! A big thank you to Jenny Wood, Matt and Erin Green and Scott McKenzie for their work in organising the night, it really was a ripper! Go Tigers!
The record books will show that Noosa Lions were tamed by the Burleigh Heads Bulldogs following their 4-1 defeat on the Gold Coast last Saturday night. Despite the result, this was a historic game for Noosa. It was the first time the club had qualified for the play-offs with a possible promotion to FQPL 2 up for grabs. The previous weekend’s Grand Final exertions, clinching victory in the final moments of an exhausting 120-minute match proved decisive against Burleigh, who had an extra week to prepare for the game. Although hampered by injuries to key players, Coaches, Luke Becconsall and Michael Williams were positive in their approach to the game and proud of the ‘togetherness’ the squad had shown all season. The home side started brightly, with their wide players showing pace and skill to stretch the Noosa defence. Bulldogs by name, but more like yappy terriers, barking at the referee seeking yellow cards for every tackle, with dramatic rolls thrown in, it detracted from their obvious quality on the ball. Just as the Lions were finding their feet in the game, a Burleigh break down their left wing was finished with a fierce shot to give them the lead in the 23rd minute. Ten minutes later and Noosa were 2-0 down when a cross from the right wing deflected off ‘keeper and defender into the path of the Burleigh forward. As Burleigh swarmed forward looking to finish the game, Noosa showed their mettle and dug deep to withstand the pressure. With half-time approaching, a precise free kick from Ollie Blackmore was met by a towering jump and powerful header from Oli Williams into the bottom corner. Back in the game, Noosa finished the half on the front foot with Nico Jancevski shooting over from distance. Both teams had good chances early in the second half and Noosa would rue their missed opportunities when Burleigh made it 3-1 from the penalty spot. Chasing the game, but with tired legs, the task grew bigger when another fine run down the left wing led to Burleigh’s fourth goal. One of the substitutes, Asher Williams, coming on to create more history for Noosa, to play alongside his brother’s Jack and Oli, the first time since the legendary Dobinson brothers last played together. Whilst it was a disappointing defeat, it was a great experience for the team and an opportunity for the coaches and club to reflect on the season and to consider targets for next year. Promotion to FQPL 2, will need a whole club approach. Congratulations to all the players and coaches for a fine season – Double winners in FQPL 3. Friday, 25 September, 2026 NOOSA TODAY 41

Noosa clubbies qualify for Iron Series Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club will have two athletes lining up in the 2026/27 Shaw and Partners Iron Series after a strong weekend of racing at the series trials at Tugun Surf Life Saving Club. The trials attracted some of the best iron athletes from across Australia, with 106 men and 84 women contesting the event. Noosa was represented by seven athletes – Electra Outram, Finella Gibbs-Beale, Caitlin Brouckaert, Darcy Lewis, Will O’Connor, Trelise Chote and Zale Outram – who all raced strongly against a quality national field. Athletes first contested two rounds, with the top 60 men and top 40 women progressing to Saturday’s final race. The final determined the top 30 men and top 30 women who would continue racing on Sunday for positions in the
2026/27 Shaw and Partners Iron Series. Electra Outram progressed through to Saturday’s final and was involved in one of the weekend’s closest battles with Lana Rogers. The winner of Saturday’s point score received an early direct entry into the Iron Series, and the result came down to the final ski leg between Electra and Lana. In a thrilling sprint to the finish, Rogers narrowly edged out her rival Outram to secure the direct entry. Electra backed up again on Sunday, where the top five finishers in the first race would receive direct entry into the Iron Series. She produced another outstanding performance, finishing second and securing her place in the 2026/27 series. Her Noosa teammate Finella Gibbs-Beale
also progressed through to Saturday’s final and faced a demanding Sunday, needing to contest all three races to accumulate enough points to secure one of the final 15 positions available in the women’s series. Finella raced consistently across the six races over the weekend and finished ninth in the overall point score on Sunday, securing her place in the 2026/27 Shaw and Partners Iron Series. It will be Finella’s first year competing in the Iron Series, marking an exciting milestone for the Noosa athlete. Both Noosa teammates will now turn their attention to the opening round of the 2026/27 Shaw and Partners Iron Series, which will be held at Thirroul Surf Life Saving Club on November 14–15.
Masters compete at Tewantin tournament Six participants from New Zealand and one from Chile were among the 150 players who attended the annual Sunshine Coast Masters Tour (MT400) Tournament at the Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club from Friday 18 September to Monday 21 September. The tournament is open to players aged 30 plus, and features singles, doubles, and mixed doubles across multiple age groups. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) World Tennis Masters Tour comprises more than 500 tournaments in over 70 countries with over 30,000 participants worldwide. Tournament Director, Gail Bates, said, “Players at this Masters MT400 tournament welcomed the warm Noosa weather which assisted in getting through the events in a timely manner. Players continue to return to this tournament each year enjoying the friendly atmosphere and the 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 25 September, 2026

Two Noosa sailing clubs have returned from the Queensland Sailing Awards with major honours, highlighting the strength of the region’s sailing community. Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club sailing coordinator and senior instructor Samantha Hogerheyde was named Queensland Sailing Awards Instructor of the Year, while Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club took out Club of the Year in Category B. The awards were presented last week by Australian Sailing – Queensland. Hogerheyde was recognised for her leadership and work developing sailors and instructors at Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, where she has helped build sailing programs aimed at people of different ages and abilities. Her work has included making sailing programs accessible to newcomers while encouraging participants to remain involved with the club. The award citation praised Hogerheyde’s contribution to creating an inclusive sailing environment and strengthening the club’s sailing program. Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club was recognised after recording a 31 per cent increase in membership. The club has introduced new membership options and increased promotion and engagement, while also developing partnerships with other sailing clubs. Its Learn to Sail and Discover Sailing programs have been restructured, with lower entry costs and stronger pathways for young sailors. The changes have helped increase participation and improve youth retention, with greater involvement from parents and additional coaching opportunities. The club’s events calendar has also become an important part of its operation, generating about 30 per cent of its income. That revenue helps support sailing programs, facilities and equipment, as well as keeping memberships affordable. Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club has also invested in volunteer recruitment, training and recognition, while strengthening governance, financial controls, compliance and safety management. The two awards provide a significant boost for sailing in the Noosa region, recognising both the people developing the sport at grassroots level and the club structures supporting its future. For Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, Hogerheyde’s award acknowledges the importance of instructors in introducing new sailors to the sport and keeping them involved. For Lake Cootharaba, the Club of the Year award reflects a broader focus on membership growth, junior development, events and longterm sustainability.

Let’s hear it for the groms LIFE OF BRINE PHIL JARRATT philjarratt.com It’s not often that of two world championship events concluded last week on the other side of the Pacific, the groms would trump (bad word alert) the World Championship Tour pros, but that’s what happened, in my humble opinion. We’ll get to the Lexus Trestles Pro in due course but while the Aussies were getting bundled out in blustery onshore Lower Trestles in California, just down the map a few dictatorships at Surf City El Salvador our ISA World Juniors Irukandjis were rewriting the record books, claiming a historic 10th team gold medal, their third in a row, buoyed by a total of six individual medals, half of which were gold. This is impressive stuff from the under 16s and under 18s, but not totally unexpected. There is some history. After winning their first team gold medal in the second edition of the World Juniors in 2004, Australia went on a five-year winning streak from 2006 to 2010. One more victory followed in 2013, before a decade that saw them on the podium every year but one, yet never on top. That changed in 2024, when Dane Henry and Ziggy Aloha Mackenzie earned their World Junior titles to lead the team to success, and continued through 2025, when Ocean Lancaster claimed the under 16 title, and now once again in 2026 with three new World Junior Champions for Australia. The glory begins with Leihani Zoric, 13, the youngest-ever ISA under 18 champion. To quote the ISA report: “From the moment she arrived in El Salvador, Leihani Zoric had no doubt that she would return home with a gold medal in hand… the 13-year-old carried an air of absolute confidence into every heat, assured that the end result was already guaranteed. Not only did that dream come true, but the Indigenous Australian did it in style, posting the highest heat total of her division for the event in the final, an excellent 16.00…” Along with under 16 Girls winner Lucy Darragh, Zoric joins names like Stephanie Gilmore, Tyler Wright and Sally Fitzgibbons as one of nine Australian women to hold the title of ISA World Junior Champion, and Zoric is also the first Australian woman to win the under 18 title since Wright, the Olympian and two-time WSL World Champion, in 2010. As Leihani told ISA: “I actually got the wildcard to come here, I didn’t even really qualify, but I said to my mum and dad, ‘I’m going to win this. I’m going there to win the gold.’” After finishing with the under 16 bronze medal in 2025, NSW South Coaster Lucy Darragh returned in 2026 with a deep hunger to win, and the 16-year-old from Werri Beach carried strong form throughout the event all the way to the gold medal. The only surfer in the draw currently competing on the WSL Challenger Series, Darragh became the third Australian girl to win the under 16 title, following Sierra Kerr and Ziggy Aloha Mackenzie. Locana Cullen put all his fellow competitors into a giant combination situation just past the halfway mark of the under 16 Boys final. The
Leihani Zoric on her way to a world junior title in El Salvador. (ISA) 15-year-old from Sydney’s Northern Beaches turned the tricky, onshore conditions into an airshow, earning an excellent 16.44 heat total in the process, to cap off a brilliant effort all round from Team Irukandji. Meanwhile, in SoCal… Finals day was just another day at the office at the Lexus Pro at Lowers, which served up contestable but mainly messy surf for the occasion, but enough for little Erin Brooks to continue her world title run in spectacular fashion, albeit with a lot of apparent help from the bloke upstairs. You’d think that He’d be a bit preoccupied with the number of non-essential wars and natural disasters occurring all over the planet on an almost daily basis, but no, according to Erin’s post-heat interviews He’s completely fixated on helping her make surfing history with three WCT wins on the trot, two of them – Tahiti and Fiji – in the most challenging waves on tour. Sitting now at fifth in the rankings and fewer than a thousand points behind our Pickles in fourth, the Texas-born teenager who surfs for Canada and lives in Hawaii is not only in the world title conversation, she dominates it. And with just two post-season events and the final worth 50 per cent more points at Pipeline to decide it, you’d have to say that it’s Erin’s to lose. The same might be said about men’s winner, the Brazilian veteran Miguel Pupo, who also sits at four in the rankings after taking his second win of the season. Everyone loves Miggy, at nearly 35
Locano Cullen ripping his way to victory. (ISA) surfing his career best while urging on his more fancied brother Sammy, nine years his junior. Could Miggy really win a world title, and become the second oldest (after Kelly) to do so? Yes, he could, and with all the Aussie men out of contention, I hope he does. Vale Kenno A couple of respectful words about Robert Edward Kennerson, surfer, shaper, glasser, collector, postie, all-round good bloke who passed away
at Crescent Head at 83 a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t know Kenno well, and mainly through my friendship with Shane Stedman, who was no doubt warming a stool for him in the Heavenly Sports Bar, but every encounter was memorable and often hilarious. He was a true gem, and a damn fine surfer back in the day. Witness the Bob Weeks classic of him cruising in a North Narrabeen barrel in 1963. RIP, Kenno. You will be missed.

QUALITY BUYERS EYE NOOSA MARKET PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY THERE are some really capable buyers taking an interest in the Noosa property market at the moment. Jesse Stowers at Tom Offermann Real Estate has seen a very strong start to his auction campaign for a two-bedroom riverfront apartment at Noosaville. This comes after he sold a two-bedroom beachfront apartment in Noosa Heads recently for what is thought to be in excess of $10m. The mid-floor 8/25 Hastings St apartment sale to interstate buyers looks to be a record for a two-bedroom apartment in Tingirana. With 18 in the complex, Tingirana is noted for its 20-metre infinity edge pool, and beyond that the blue waters of Laguna Bay. The northerly aspect takes in First Point and Double Island as well as Noosa’s North Shore. 180-DEGREE RIVER VIEWS Quality buyers are making themselves known to Jesse Stowers at a two-bedroom, three-bathroom, one-car riverfront apartment in Noosaville. Set for auction on Saturday, 3 October, at 12pm, 4/2-4 William St saw what Jesse describes as “a phenomenal response’’ to the first open house. “It was a mix of local and interstate. “They were impressed by the river outlook. It’s right there. “One person said you could cast a fishing line into the river from the balcony. “There are only a handful with that direct river frontage and the northern orientation. The view is to the rivermouth.’’ The 168sq m apartment is one of nine in the Mariners Point complex - three per level. Apart from the outlook, those inspecting the apartment were impressed by the privacy and the easy access to Gympie Tce. The outlook is enhanced by an expansive alfresco terrace, edged in glass balustrading and wrapping around to the western side.

19 The Promontory, Noosa Waters: A four-bedroom, four-bathroom, two-car waterfront designer house, pool, jetty. Auction Wednesday, 30 September, at 12pm.
35 George St, Tewantin: 1.89ha zoned rural residential, 200m frontage. Auction Friday, 25 September, 11am. Slide-away doors blurr the lines between indoor and outdoor living. As well as the open-plan living and dining space, there is a large C-shaped kitchen with tawny terrazzo-topped silver grey cabinetry. Appliances include a Miele oven and cooktop plus two Fisher & Paykel dish drawers. There are two spacious bedrooms and one flexi space. All have built-in robes and ensuites. The semi open style ensuite bathroom with multiple built-in robes, has a clever design of a curved translucent glass shower with a door; the marble-topped single basin white cabinetry has a mirrored wall and a heater. In addition, there is a dedicated laundry; the single garage has a generous storeroom; and a Noosa Council Short Term letting approval (STA) is in place. “Finding an apartment on the riverfront in such a prestigious location is ultra-rare,“ Jesse said. “And to have such a generously-sized apartment, comfort in residence is guaranteed.“ EXCEPTIONAL DESIGN SETS BENCHMARK There are waterfront properties, and then there are properties that become part of the story of a suburb.

1/44 Park Rd, Noosa Heads: Four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car apartment. Auction Friday, 25 September, 1pm.
For Ray White Noosa’s David Conolly 19 The Promontory at Noosa Waters sits firmly in the second category. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom, two-car waterfront designer house with pool and jetty goes to auction Wednesday ay, 30 September, at 12pm. Set on 962sq m of prime north-facing land, the home offers 721sq m under roof and 469sq m of internal living, with a courtyards, water and sky. “Having spent many years working in the Noosa property market, I have had the opportunity to walk through some truly exceptional homes,’’ David said. “What makes this residence different is that it doesn’t try to follow a particular idea of what a luxury waterfront home should be. It does its own thing.’’ “Designed by Noosa’s acclaimed Frank Macchia, 19 The Promontory is a remarkable piece of design where materials, light, water and landscaping have been brought together with an extraordinary level of thought. “The use of off-form concrete, slate, terrazzo, hand-forged steel and richly stained timber gives
the home a presence that is difficult to replicate. “Ultimately, I think the appeal of 19 The Promontory comes down to individuality. “There are many beautiful homes in Noosa Waters. There are many excellent waterfront positions. But finding a property where the design has been so completely integrated with the land, the gardens and the water is considerably harder. “This isn’t a property that is going to appeal because it looks like everything else. Quite the opposite. “It has a very strong identity and that makes it such an interesting property to bring to the market. “For the right buyer, this isn’t simply about purchasing a waterfront home in Noosa Waters. It’s about acquiring something that has genuine design significance, an exceptional relationship with the water and a level of craftsmanship that would be extraordinarily difficult - and expensive to recreate today. “That’s what stands out to me when I walk through 19 The Promontory.’’ Here, sculptural peaks, hand-forged steel, offform concrete, slate, terrazzo and richly stained timbers create a distinctive modernist aesthetic.

BUSHLAND RETREAT RIGHT IN TOWN It is exceptional to get a property in Old Tewantin of this size and so close to the village as well as the ferry. James Callianiotis at Realcorp International is taking a 1.89ha property zoned rural residential at 35 George St to auction Friday, 25 September, at 11am. There is no other rural-residential of that size without a home on it in Tewantin-Noosa, James said. “It’s an extraordinary opportunity - zoned rural residential with an impressive 200-metre frontage and 93.96m depth. “North-facing and privately positioned among native bushland, the property offers exceptional peace, privacy and space. “There are no immediate neighbours and there is an abundance of birdlife as well as native wildlife enhancing its natural appeal.’’ The property comes with approved plans already in place by Tewantin architects, Blackwood Architecture & Design. Thoughtfully conceived in response to its
natural surroundings, the design has a central internal courtyard forming the heart of the proposed home. The residence encompasses just over 200sq m of living space beneath soaring eightmetre vaulted ceilings. There are three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, complemented by a separate office, TV/media room, expansive open-plan living and entertaining areas, store room and two-car carport. The vision extends beyond the principal residence, with the approved plans incorporating a separate 65sq m second dwelling, again distinguished by its impressive eight-metre raked ceiling. Designed to complement the main residence while offering its own sense of independence, it introduces valuable flexibility for guests, family, creative pursuits or private accommodation. An approved 20m by 9m shed, with an eight-metre raked ceiling, mezzanine level, and dedicated toilet and shower facilities, lends itself to housing boats, caravans and vehicles
to creating a substantial workshop, studio, storage facility or private collection. Considerable groundwork has already been undertaken, with an existing powered shed in place that has a concrete floor, electricity and water already established. Town water is connected, complemented by a working underground bore.

HALCYON DAYS COSSETTED IN NOOSA NATIONAL PARK; SUNSHINE BEACH ONE OF A KIND HALCYON days are here with stellar enticements, a triumph of flawless pedigree, supreme tranquility, bountiful natural beauty and the pinnacle of locations to reach for the stars, five… maybe six! Picture an irresistible dress circle address in Sunshine Beach and an avantgarde residence on a 1547m2 site, from renowned architect Tim Ditchfield. It is pitched perfectly yet is ostensibly cocooned within the forever verdant Noosa National Park, is mere minutes to sand, surf breaks and Hastings Street, similarly the vibrant cosmopolitan heart of Noosa Junction, and when it comes to boast-worthy eagle eye views, it is top of the world, and beyond all expectations. Equally breathtaking is how the vast blue sky and Coral Sea meld into one, stretching from Noosa River, Lake Weyba to Cooroy Mountain, sweeping to Coolum, Mooloolaba, Point Arkwright, Buderim and Caloundra. And it’s not just the dazzling water views. Expect an after dark coastal light show that extends to the hills beyond Montville and Flaxton, while close to home koalas in the nearby eucalypts visit from their habitats in the Noosa National Park. Easy to also be overwhelmed by the natural beauty surrounds of the National Park being the perfect backdrop at the end of the cul de sac, adding mystique to the residence’s understated street presence. Open the secure gate to obvious privacy, look around to an abundance of more green spaces and panoramic scenery. Push aside the French doors to definitive integrity, form and function in the inspired and prodigious north-facing split level living areas, with fireplace and custom seating. Banks of disappearing doors, louvres and picture windows on almost three lengthy sides encapsulate the views every which way. Similarly, the evocative yet sensual space has high VJ ceilings acting as a magnet for abundant sunlight to shimmer and shadow dance over the endless Tassie oak floors, whilst coalescing with expansive undercover terraces on the east and west sides. It suggests more options for entertaining whatever the season. Commensurate is the C-shaped granitetopped kitchen with shaker-style cabinetry including a semi-island breakfast bar. There’s a walk-in pantry, the splash back is adorned with mosaic tiles and appliances include top brands such as Neff, LG and Miele. The window opens to a servery for the terrace with integrated barbeque, and popular for lunches, those splashing around in the luminescent pool or enjoying a game of bocce on the lawn.

The two-car garage has storage plus bike and surfboard racks; and little kids will love the cubby/tree house on the fringe of the National Park “The concept of an elevated and openly engaged residence in harmony with its surrounds was a genius architectural design by Tim Ditchfield,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata. “It also aligns perfectly with the idyllic sub-tropical climate, in a form designed to open and close as needed to allow for free flow ventilation. It certainly is a place of retreat and recharge, and the deliberate restraint used throughout, creates a calming sense of composure from the initial entry, continuing throughout. “This address is sprinkled with sylvan magic. and living or investing in coveted Sunshine Beach where recent property sales speak for themselves, make this sizeable slice of paradise a tour de force.

New flooring, windows and doors sit alongside a beautifully appointed new kitchen, refined lighting, ceiling fans and bespoke window coverings. New skylights further draw daylight into the home, creating a sense of openness and calm across both levels.

The flow and separation of spaces in this townhouse offer great functionality for couples or young families while being in close proximity to the beach and shops. For those unfamiliar with the area, Sunshine Beach is incredibly popular and has seen a rich history of property growth performance. It also boasts some of the most jaw-dropping natural beauty with stunning beaches and serves as a gateway to the Noosa National Park with its many coves and surf breaks.

Little Cove. One of Noosa's most tightly held addresses, now home to a new architecturally designed residence where the beach sits steps from your door. Hastings Street is five minutes on foot. The National Park trails start at the doorstep. Step inside though, and all of it falls away. This is a home that's central without ever feeling exposed. Most prestige homes impress on sight. Fewer make you feel something the moment you arrive. Layered living spaces, framed green outlooks and natural light do that work here. Luxurious, never formal.

PRIVACY, PROPORTION AND POSSIBILITY TUCKED away in a peaceful, leafy pocket of Noosaville, 13 Jacksonia Place is the kind of home that immediately feels removed from the pace of everyday life. Surrounded by established bushland and positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, the substantial two-level residence delivers an appealing combination of privacy, generous proportions and family flexibility, all within easy reach of the Noosa River, schools, cafes, dining and the lifestyle attractions that make this part of the coast so sought after. Set on a fully fenced 640m² block, the four-bedroom home has been designed with separation in mind, offering multiple living spaces and room for family members to come together or retreat to their own corner of the home. Downstairs, a generous living and dining zone adjoins the kitchen and connects naturally with the covered alfresco entertaining area and swimming pool beyond. Three bedrooms, the main bathroom and separate powder room are also positioned on this level, while a dedicated media room provides valuable additional living space for movie nights, children, teenagers or relaxed family time. Upstairs is reserved for the parents, with the spacious master suite enjoying its own sense of privacy, complete with ensuite, balcony and peaceful outlooks across the surrounding greenery. A separate upstairs retreat and dedicated study or home office add another layer of versatility to an already generous floorplan. Outside, the covered alfresco area provides an easy transition from indoor living to the private backyard, where the in-ground swimming pool is framed by the home’s leafy setting. A double lock-up garage, separate shed and storage, solar panels and ducted air conditioning further enhance the home’s everyday practicality. Importantly, this is a property that can be thoroughly enjoyed as it stands. For buyers looking further ahead, there is also genuine opportunity. The home’s substantial proportions, flexible floorplan and desirable Noosaville position provide an excellent foundation for considered modernisation. Updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, interiors or outdoor areas could further elevate its contemporary appeal and potentially add meaningful value over time. It is that combination of an established home and future possibility that makes 13 Jacksonia Place particularly compelling. The location adds enormously to its appeal. Walking tracks lead towards the foreshores of Lake Doonella, while the Noosa River and Gympie Terrace are close by for morning walks, cycling, cafes, restaurants and weekends by the water. Families will also appreciate the convenience of St Teresa’s Catholic College and Noosaville State School within walking distance, while
Noosa’s beaches, National Park, shopping and renowned dining are all within easy reach. Real Corp International – Noosa Heads Realty agent James Callianiotis says the property presents an exciting opportunity for buyers wanting space and privacy without sacrificing the convenience of a central Noosaville lifestyle. “13 Jacksonia Place has a wonderful sense of space and seclusion, yet you are still incredibly connected to everything Noosaville and Noosa have to offer,” James said. “It is a substantial home that can be enjoyed immediately, with the added advantage of having the scale and flexibility to make
considered improvements over time. “For buyers looking around this price point, the combination of the position, 640m² block, multiple living areas, pool and genuine scope to further enhance the property makes this a particularly interesting opportunity.” Facts & Features Four generous bedrooms with built-in robes Private upper-level master suite with ensuite Balcony with peaceful bushland outlooks Separate upstairs retreat Dedicated study/home office Two bathrooms plus separate WC Multiple living areas including dedicated media room

HOME FOCUS
VISUAL MASTERPIECE, INSPIRED DESIGN AND OUTLOOK IF ever there was a property that perfectly embodies the essence of Sunshine Beach: its vibe, its lifestyle and its timeless allure; it is 47 Belmore Terrace. Tightly held by the same owners for 40 years, the original A-frame home perched on a sand dune, was creatively reimagined and extended, in collaboration with Bark Design Architects, to create a residence of distinction that truly makes an impact with its unique narrative, charisma, and inspired design. Across multiple levels covering approximately 361 square metres on a fenced 607m2 block; the residence comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple internal and external living spaces including a rooftop deck and atrium-style courtyard, galley kitchen, office on mezzanine, library, and full sized laundry opening to drying deck, workshop/storage/ cellar, single lock-up garage and single carport. Breathtaking, elevated ocean views are showcased from many rooms, including the main bedroom, kitchen, living, library, and both decks. Designed to maximise natural light, height, outlook and circulation of gentle sea
breezes, it is a veritable masterpiece of design. There is an extensive suite of features that boost aesthetic appeal and overall ambience, in particular the dining room with its timber shuttered A-frame hopper windows and soaring ceiling, retained from the original home, a respectful nod to the spirit of its time that works so well and is a stunning centrepiece in a home with much to admire. Other features of note include hardwood blackbutt flooring on upper levels, polished
concrete flooring on ground floor, ceiling fans throughout, abundant windows including clerestory windows, granite benches, generous storage, and solar power with 10kW battery and a 20amp EV charging point. The design provides both good separation and wonderful communal spaces to gather together and embrace the “joie de vivre” in comfort and style. At the very top of the home, under the rooftop deck, is the main bedroom and ensuite exclusively occupying the upper
level. All of the ground floor bedrooms have an integrated indoor/outdoor entry. The gardens are low maintenance, with little grass to mow, making it an easy house to lock-and-leave when away travelling. It is as simple as locking up and heading off to your destination of choice (if you can bear to leave this amazing home, and yes, you will miss it while you’re gone). Located in blue-chip Belmore Terrace just a short stroll to the beach (including off-leash dog beach), Surf Club, village shopping and dining, public transport, and Noosa National Park with its scenic walking trails to iconic beachside havens such as Alexandria Bay. You can avoid traffic congestion and parking woes; leaving the car parked securely at home. Keeping fit and active in the sunshine will be a pleasure! The owners purchased the original home in 1986, the renovations and additions were completed in 2003, and in 2026 they are offering it to the market for the very first time. This is a home that will resonate on many levels, with its seamless symphony of charm and light.
