BEACH frontage, power, water, Wi-Fi, sealed internal roads and dog-friendly. Sounds like an expensive real estate advert, right? Well, it’s actually the Coolum Beach Holiday Park! Division 9 Councillor Stephen Robinson said the council-run facility had undergone a $570,000 upgrade to provide a more pleasant experience for guests. “The Coolum Beach Holiday Park averages around 20,000 caravaners and campers per year from all over Australia and provides guests with direct access to the patrolled surf, making it one of the Sunshine Coast’s most popular camping and caravan destinations,” Cr Robinson said. “These important works have taken the park to a new level. They include installation of power, water and sullage points for grey water, drainage improvements and construction and sealing of the park’s internal roads. “This enables the park to better cater for today’s larger campervans and motorhomes in all weather conditions. “Coolum is one of two council-owned, dogfriendly family holiday parks on the Sunshine Coast. Bringing along your pet on holidays is now very popular, and guests can contact the park in advance and apply to have their dog accompany them during their stay.” As part of the project, 70 small sites in premium location closest to the beach which average 64sqm were converted to 46 larger sites averaging 100sqm each. The park now has 218 powered tourist caravan and camping sites and six villas. Manager Greg Howard said the upgrades had greatly improved the park’s functionality and comfort for guests. “We’re already situated in one of the most beautiful locations anywhere in Australia, and we now offer the best possible caravan and camping facilities for our guests,” he said. These upgrades were funded from the Sunshine Coast Holiday Parks’ capital budget and are in addition to the replacement and refurbishment of the three amenity buildings and a new camp kitchen, all in recent years. FAST FACTS • More than 10,000,000 site nights were spent in Queensland’s caravanning and camping sector in the year ending March 2014 • 90% of all site nights are in regional Australia • Queensland had the highest percentage of registered campervans in 2013 at 23.8% of all registered campervans • Queensland accounted for approximately 34% of the gross increase in registrations across Australia between 2012 and 2013 • The total number of registered RVs in Queensland reached 131,586 in 2013, up from 122,494 the previous year • There were 528,869 RVs registered in 2013.

Mayor Jamieson said he was enthusiastic about working with the Premier and her government to a d v an c e th e e co n o mi c a n d community objectives that have been set for Sunshine Coast. “In congratulating the Premier, I advised that as the third largest local government outside Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast Council had carved a clear platform for building prosperity in this region – with a strong focus on employment generation and creating a strong, resilient and inclusive community,” Mayor Jamieson said. “Many of the major projects that we have planned for the region are squarely focussed on achieving those objectives. “This Council has a balanced focus on employment and economic development that produces a real social dividend – more enduring employment for our residents, particularly for our young people and families; better facilities that support the needs of our residents as the region continues to grow; and greater household incomes so our residents can continue to enjoy the enviable lifestyle and our pristine environment. “These are objectives that the Sunshine Coast Council shares with the government and I have every confidence that by working together as a collaborative partnership, we can achieve great things for the region and assist Ms Palaszczuk’s team to deliver on its major policy commitments for Queensland. “I am enthusiastic about working with Ms Palaszczuk’s government to a d v an c e th e e co n o mi c a n d community objectives that have been set for the Sunshine Coast.” Mayor Jamieson said he had met with Ms Palaszczuk last year and was keen to personally update the Premier on some of the key plans and priorities for this region. He hopes the Premier and her Ministers will regularly visit the Sunshine Coast. “I look forward to working with Ms Palaszczuk and her team,” he said.

UPLIFTING ART: High-profile New York City artist Kelsey, pictured with a finished mural in NYC, is set to provide the Sunshine with its own set of wings. IN a first for Queensland, highprofile New York City artist Kelsey Montague has been commissioned by Sunshine Coast Council to create a large interactive art mural for all the community to enjoy. Community Programs Portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay said Kelsey Montague will visit the Sunshine Coast on February 28 to complete the beautiful #whatliftsyou set artwork of an ornate set of wings. “When the interactive mural is complete, the community can obtain a photo of themselves with a large pair of beautiful wings - just like singer Taylor Swift did recently in New York City. “This artwork is a great way to let the world know the arts and culture scene on the Sunshine Coast is very much alive.” Division 2 Councillor Tim Dwyer said on the day Kelsey is creating her #whatliftsyou artwork, council will hold an InstaMeet event from 3pm to 4pm on February 28 to allow keen Instagrammers, residents and visitors to collect a range of unique photos of the Digital Disruption exhibition in Caloundra Regional Gallery. When the Intagrammers arrive at the Gallery, they will be provided with a cheat sheet on Instagram handles and hashtags to use during the InstaMeet. People will meet back up at 4pm to upload their images while Kelsey is completing the #whatliftsyou artwork magical angel wings. “People can obtain photos of a six-legged, electric, walking, bubble-blowing robot, absurd and whimsical machines, animations, projections and more. “But if you aren’t a keen Instagrammer, or don’t even know what it is, that’s fine, as you can simply come along and view the innovative Digital Disruption exhibition and view Kelsey’s artwork. “The artwork will pop up across the Coast at various events and locations for people to have their photo and share with their Instagram and facebook friends and followers.” New York City artist Kelsey Montague said #whatliftsyou is a global campaign and she wants to see the wings in cities all over the world. “I want people to have the opportunity to join this really cool online community and share what inspires them in their life,” she said. “Most of my social media posts deal with art woven into the fabric of a person’s life. That is also why most of my commissioned work is on the street. I want people to stop and ‘step into’ one of my interactive pieces and become a living work of art for a moment. “I want to create community online. How cool is it to post a picture within a hashtag that literally has people from around the world all talking about the inspiration in their life. It’s cooler than I could have dreamed! “Each wing is unique and the images within are designed to represent the city they exist in. In the Sunshine Coast artwork, I will fill each set of wings with images that represent that specific community.” Visit council’s gallery website to find out more details.

I think that fishermen should be more careful in disposing of their fishing equipment if the line breaks. Two weeks before I found this, I also picked up a pile of fishing line with hook and sinker attached in the shallows. This was a dreadful sight and I hope that I do not have to witness it again. Fishing off the beach should be banned, as this is the type of thing that could happen - a child or dog (it was on the off-leash part of the beach) could easily have stepped on the hook. Dog owners have to pick up their dog’s mess; so should fishermen. MARG DUMBLE move from six-monthly to three-monthly accounts, to reduce the shock value, did nothing to allay costs. Quarterly accounts have been vastly reduced simply because I, as a single-person household, like many households, have become creative with water consumption, which you’ve probably investigated. We cannot avoid the outlandish daily infrastructure costs for water and sewerage. Then there’s GST! We are repeatedly paying daily for old infrastructure, installed long before Unitywater’s creation. By taking the responsibility out of the hands of local councils, yet another bureaucracy is benefitting from generous salary packages, none the least of which is yours! The old system on our council rates worked. Why fix it if it wasn’t broken, if not a for new taxing regime and jobs for the boys? E. ROWE Marcoola Extremist policies HORRIFYING DISCOVERY: Marg Dumble recently came across this bird tangled in fishing line in the shallows at Coolum. Shipshape conditions? In the Government’s fleet of ships, the battleship ‘SS Welfare’ has a new Captain. The Captains of ‘Team Australia’ and ‘The Budget’ remain. The tired old crews, after a near mutiny, remain unchanged. Last century’s navigation equipment and communication signals are still functioning. All Captains are hoping for smooth sailing when the hot air fills their ships’ sails and they steer through the choppy seas ahead. Mutineers have been subdued for now. The new Captain of ‘SS Welfare’ has previous experience of forceful dealings with boats and managing on water matters. He has promised to be “a strong Welfare services cop”. The ships’ manifestos remain unchanged; ship wrecks have been avoided (thus far). MARGARET WILKIE Peregian Beach Sinking argument The old adage applies: The pen is mightier than the Soord! PLeeeeze, Mr Soorley, stop playing the victim! Send me no more personal letters, pleading your case! I’ve muddied the waters! But your argument is sinking as fast as the Titanic. Your comments and public attack are unbecoming for an executive of your standing. No crocodile tears and defence mechanisms for Unitywater’s unpopularity! I speak for the disempowered and disenchanted, drowning in utility debts. Collecting a very generous Lord Mayor’s superannuation package from the richest local council in the nation, Brisbane City, your unconscionable collusion with Anna Bligh over your new lucrative job opportunity, puts all your loyalties in focus: collecting even more as CEO, from the blood and sweat of households and businesses in SE Qld, struggling with the rise and rise in the cost of living (a gift from Labor; a party with little fiscal intelligence). Unitywater was the brainchild of a desperate Anna Bligh, who drained the coffers, with few options to repay a phenomenal $1million daily interest on excessive borrowings for white elephants. It became an uber tax-collecting institution, one unprecedented in indirect taxing history. Similarly, electricity is fast becoming the next taxation rort, with its new daily supply charge! So you were handed a guaranteed $1,000-a-day salary as CEO of Unitywater, along with your team. The sitting ducks waded knee-deep in greywater in trepidation. So the changes began, with rising charges in swift succession: June 2013, water access at a flat $54.04, sewerage access a flat $132.93; water consumption $0.538/kL and State government bulk water at $1.610/kL changed. July 1, 2013, a new charge of 90% water consumption was introduced, classified as greywater/ sewerage, and water was raised to $0.644/kL. So, by July 2014, water and sewerage (as greywater), along with the State bulk water charge, made it $3.143/kL. A rise by September 2014 of 5% water and 13% bulk water, made the total cost $3.434/kL. Access for water and sewerage had risen to $2.103 a day. Taking into consideration over a year, access alone costs everyone over $720, apart from consumption and greywater. It takes 500 consumers to pay just your daily wage each day. How’s that paying off the wolf at the State’s door? Its Labor inventor lost power and deserted the State we’re in. Unitywater went from strength to strength, increasing charges periodically. The 90% of consumption classified as sewerage wasn’t created from facts but assumptions, replacing the old six-monthly sewerage charge, adding up to very expensive utility accounts. Fees and charges are simply euphemisms for taxes. This rose by any other name still smells like sewerage! The Coolum Advertiser, 19th February 2015, Page 6 Anyone who can proudly admit that they are pleased with the performance of this Far Right Regime in Canberra should bury their heads in shame! The “good government” saw its leader use the term “jobs holocaust”, which, in the light of the upcoming decade anniversaries of the liberation of Nazi Death Camps, is offensive to any survivors and their descendants. Secondly, news emerged that Brandis asked Professor Gillian Triggs to resign before she handed down her report that was damning of the treatment of asylum-seeker children in detention. This regime has been marked by gaffes from leaders and attempts to remove anybody who dares to query their extremist policies! What was that they said about a leopard not changing its spots? P. WYNN Coolum Beach Runners It appears to me that E. Rowe and P. Wynn have a great understanding of what our state and country needs. In regards to politics and policies, I read their reports on a regular basis, so why don’t they run in any electorate they can, as it appears they can run our great country? B. PEPERKAMP Coolum Beach Greedy politicians Clive Palmer appears to have gotten rid of the Newman-led LNP State Government, and he didn’t even have to win any seat to achieve his goal. Newman and his crew blew it with their out-of-touch arrogance and lost thousands of votes when they took those massive pay rises. They had LNP Ministers being paid outrageous base salaries five times greater than hardworking, fully qualified tradespeople and up to 10 times greater than basic wage earners. Politicians tell Joe Average to tighten their belt while they (politicians and bureaucrats) stick their snouts deeper into taxpayers’ pockets. Are Abbott, Hockey & Co. making the same out-of-touch mistakes at a federal level, and will they be next to be a one-term government? Mr and Mrs Joe Average, small business operators, and thousands of disillusioned voters are becoming extremely disappointed with all politicians. Is it any wonder we are now seeing more and more one-term governments being booted out of office? Voters need to do this every term until politicians come down to earth and get in touch with reality. Say: Bye, bye to snout-in-the-trough and out-of-touch politicians!! GEORGE HAMILTON Coolum Beach Managing waste I read in your article (12/2/15) that Noosa Council has appointed a Community Jury of 24 locals to investigate and recommend new ways for that council to “reduce and manage organic waste”. Contrast that with the approach of Sunshine Coast Regional Council when they recently “consulted” the community on the minimisation of its rubbish. From the responses I received from my submissions on this topic, their minds were already made up on what ratepayers can and can’t have in this region, before “consultation” began. 1. Kerbside clean-ups. No, no, no - we can’t have that! No consideration will be given to new ways for this to be costed and carried out. For example: SC Council joined in the garage sale trail day, encouraging ratepayers to register their garage sale on council’s website, then providing would-be buyers with a map to follow from one garbage sale to the next. Suggestion: Council organise a similar “footpath freebies” day. Shock, horror - council disapproves of footpath “scavenging”. The environmental slogan “Reduce, Recycle, Reuse” is Reduced by two-thirds when people are not allowed to display items they no longer want, to be Recycled to others who could Reuse them. At the end of one week, any leftover items could be collected on the normal garbage day for each area and those people (only) charged for that extra pick-up. If you don’t want to pay, then you can drag your stuff back inside before the next garbage day. 2. Green-lid bins cost $70 per annum charged to the householder’s rates bill, so the majority of people opt to not have one. Instead, they just regularly top up their general waste bin with their garden rubbish. These people have the advantage of having their garden waste collected weekly, compared to those who pay $70pa for theirs to be taken away fortnightly! Then there are the winter months when foliage doesn’t grow at the pace of the wetter summer months. I know I don’t put my green bin out from approximately April to October, but I still pay for its pickup for all those months. In other words, people who try to do the right thing are penalised by council. Suggestion: Treat green bins the same as yellow recycle bins; i.e. turn it into a cost-neutral business. Give everyone a green bin with a free fortnightly pick-up, with a resultant huge increase in garden waste recycled. Hire a large-scale contractor to turn it into an equally large-scale mulch business. I just got a “can’t be done” response from Councillor Robinson, who told me he has been howled down by the other councillors when he raised such suggestions once before. But I bet someone could run such a business at a profit, and maybe council could negotiate free mulch for their huge number of parks and garden for providing the product to mulch. As I said, SCRC really does not want to hear better ways to do things: their minds were made up before this topic went to the public for comment. Typical SCRC “consultation”: keep the people who care busy with paperwork rigmarole, then go ahead and do what has already been decided. Hands up: who’s for joining Noosa Council? O. BALL Point Arkwright RTI Revelations A concerned community group puts in a RTI (Right to Information) request regarding SC Council’s involvement with the Sekisui proposal at Yaroomba and, lo and behold, 52,000 pages of documentation are unearthed! (That’s a pile of paper stacked over 5m high!) What does this say? It says Council has squandered untold hours, resources, and ratepayers’ money on a proposal that should never see the light of the day … all with the aim that, when this proposal is submitted as a development application, it can avoid being subject to proper impact assessment. I hope Development Watch proceeds with the RTI (in some capacity) and also looks into consultant fees in the said topic. ARTHUR WATSON Nothing in return Plaudits to the council? Bob Stonehouse can’t be for real. Most people I know around here want the annual kerbside clean-ups returned. We pay rates and get nothing in return. As for the visual and odiferous pollution, ohh pleeaze don’t be so precious. And, as a personal gripe of mine, why can’t the council raise their dumb decibel limit so we can have some real music (bands) on Saturdays and Sundays? Is this really a tourist town or just a sunny retirement village with a beach? PS: I have lived in this area for 30 years; I’m not a blow-in. G. BLACK Coolum Beach Trust in police I am happy to see well-meaning and obviously compassionate community members acting as liaison between the police and the community. It is so important to have relationships that can foster trust and communication when people are at their most vulnerable. What is it, though, about Queensland police that they can’t do this themselves? Our police are there to protect us and keep us safe. Much of that task is accomplished through relationship. What has gone wrong with our relationship with our police force that has pre-empted trust and communication? Is it time to change the culture of the community-police relationship? How nice would it be to see our police as they are meant to be - our safety net and our protection? KAREN MORK Coolum Beach Boardwalk decline The wooden boardwalk at the south end of Coolum Beach appears to be dried out from lack of oiling. I guess, if it deteriorates more, some timbers might have to be replaced. I suppose the ratepayers in Coolum won’t mind paying extras on their rates to cover the extra cost this will probably incur. Hopefully someone else might be better informed than me on this subject?

ST ANDREW’S Anglican College is celebrating seven of its Year 12 students being awarded the RSL Youth Development Program grant. The grant recognises and rewards the efforts of high-achieving Queensland students, with 200 Queenslanders being awarded the grant this year in the categories of sport, academic and community. St Andrew’s students Isabella Freeman, Brodie Modini, Trevor Tunnington, Nic Porter and Campbell Guthrie all received grants through the sport category, whilst Danielle Van Os and Gabrielle Emery received their grants in the academic category. Danielle Van Os said she will be using her grant to take part in the Gap Medics program in Poland, where she will spend two weeks shadowing medics in Warsaw gaining invaluable pre-health education from European medical professionals as they diagnose and treat patients. “Taking part in the Gap Medics program will give me knowledge about the medical field before I start university, as well as give me an understanding of global health development which will help me in my studies and ultimately how I serve the community in the future.” Fellow student Gabrielle Emery will spend two weeks in July taking part in the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood, dubbed as the ultimate, international Olympic-style competition for performing artists. “Spending two weeks competing in the World Championships of Performing Arts will give me the opportunity to build on what I am learning at St Andrew’s, but also to learn more about the international scene and bring that knowledge back to the College,” said Gabrielle. The RSL Youth Development Program is offered through Bond University, and is awarded to students for academic and sporting achievements as well as community leadership.

Team registrations are now open for Cancer Council Queensland’s new Northern Sunshine Coast Relay For Life, set to be held October 3-4 at Coolum Football Club. Relay For Life is an 18-hour event involving teams of up to 15 people keeping a baton moving in a relaystyle walk or run overnight, in support of the one in two Queenslanders diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. More than 300 participants are expected to take part and walk to give hope for cancer survivors, hope for those who have lost loved ones, and hope for a cancer-free future. Cancer Council Queensland Relay For Life Coordinator, Tom Turner, encouraged locals to unite in the fight and get behind the inspirational event. “Each year the community bands together to fight back against cancer, and we are calling on locals to come together again in 2015, to show their support and strength for Queenslanders impacted by the disease,” Mr Turner said. “Community action truly makes a difference - 2014 Queensland Relay For Life events raised more than $4.2 million for vital cancer research, prevention programs and patient support services. “There are so many great ways to get involved in Relay For Life in 2015, from joining the committee, to registering a team, or even volunteering for a few hours - all you need is a bit of spare time and plenty of enthusiasm! “Getting involved might only seem like a small way to make an impact, but your contribution makes a lasting difference to locals touched by the disease.” Entry for Relay For Life is just $15 for Under 18s and $20 for adults, which includes a polo shirt and breakfast at the event. To register a team, volunteer or find out more, visit relayforlife.org.au or phone the Fundraising Hotline 1300 65 65 85. If you’d like to learn more about Northern Sunshine Coast Relay For Life, there will be an information evening held on Thursday, February 19 at 5.30pm at Coffee Club Coolum.

Photo courtesy: Dot Crane .FOLLOWING three incidences of turtle nest tampering this week, Council is urging residents to please leave the mesh covering turtle nests alone - it is essential in protecting nests from foxes. Environment Portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay said there are still around 35 nests to emerge on Coast beaches. “The mesh is pegged down and tagged with a TurtleCare label and phone number, so we’re unsure why people are removing it,” Cr McKay said. “The construction mesh prevents predation by foxes and dogs, while still allowing hatchlings to emerge naturally. The mesh is of a sufficient gauge that hatchlings can emerge easily. “There are only 500 nesting females in eastern Australia and the Sunshine Coast population continues to be vital to the long-term survival of this species. “One of the biggest threats to loggerhead hatchlings is the introduced European red fox and, to a lesser extent, from unrestrained dogs on nesting beaches.” It’s important that members of the public do not dig into turtle nests, and allow hatchlings to naturally emerge. If you see anyone tampering with a turtle nest, please report it to Council’s TurtleCare on 0437 559 067.

Nichols was also one of the standouts in the women’s QS6000 division, putting her sharp and precise brand of surfing to work at Manly Beach during a massive day of competition at the Hurley Australian Open of Surfing on Wednesday, February 11. “It’s great to win a WSL event even though it’s a Pro Junior,” said Nichols. “To take a win at this level is special to me.” Noosa’s Harry Bryant came close in his first-ever WSL Junior Tour final, fighting hard through a tough field of talented surfers but unable to match California’s Kanoa Igarashi in the final. “I’m really stoked to make the final it’s a great way to start my year,” Bryant said. “It’s hard to make the final and be that close to a win and not get it, but I’m not thinking about that too much I’m too happy right now.” SWEET VICTORY: Coolum’s Isabella Nichols and California’s Kanoa Igarashi win the Pro Junior division of the Hurley Australian Open of Surfing.

COOLUM HOOKERS FISHING CLUB Welcome to all our new members. Fish of the Month for February is mackerel/trevally, and our comp is this weekend, February 21, 22 and 23. Our weigh-in and BBQ is on Sunday the 23rd at the Coolum footy ground. All members are welcome, so come along for a catch-up. Our camp for the month of March is coming up quickly. If you’re interested to go, please email myself at [email protected] or contact Greg or Di Hastings on 5446 2708. We need to start taking bookings ASAP. Good luck and Happy Fishing, everyone! COOLUM BOARDRIDERS We will run our first round of the year on Sunday, February 22. Meet at the clubhouse at 6.30am. All surfers will have to be signed up to compete. Registration is done through the Surfing Queensland website - follow the links and the code required is 4573. More info with age divisions etc is up on the club Facebook page. The Club AGM will also run on the Sunday afternoon before presentations, with several positions we hope to fill. Congratulations to Isabella Nichols on her dominating win at the Hurly Australian Women’s Pro Junior. Isabella gave a competitive display far beyond her years, reinforcing what we have known for years. Noosa’s Harry Bryant made the final two in the Men’s Pro Junior, but could not GARDEN CLEAN-UP: Henry, John, Noelene, Jenny, Des and Doug working on the third and last trailer load at the Coolum Tennis Club’s recent working bee. find the waves in the final. A great result for Sunny Coast surfers. Congratulations to Simon Knox, now based on the Goldy, with a second-place finish at the Wandiyali Indiginous Classic at Newcastle. See everyone down there on the 22nd, but remember you must be financial to compete. 2015 sponsorship options are open for the year. Anyone interested should get in touch with a committee member. COOLUM TENNIS Following our first meeting with our new committee, the Coolum Tennis Club had a working bee on Saturday morning. Adam had already put up the new noticeboard. As well as being able to write up fixture and tournament matches, we will now have a list of jobs that need doing. As a suggestion from a member, jobs will be written up, and any tennis player who has the time and expertise can complete the job. This will lighten the load for the few willing workers who have been carrying the load, and involve more members. I would like to thank Doug Bosworth, Leon Nguyen, Henry Plint, Des and Annette Adsett, Noelene Cook, Arvid, Ian White, Joy Denton, Kerry Glover and the junior parent helpers, Trish Mc Waters and Rachael Willis. Thanks to these very hard workers, we removed three large trailer loads of garden rubbish as well as filling some bins. We have never achieved so much at a working bee before. Thanks again to the workers. At our committee meeting, we welcomed three new members, Leon Nguyen, Emma Wagstaff and John Gallagher. They are invaluable for fresh input into growing our club. By the time you read this, we should have new lights installed on the hard courts ready for the new-format night fixtures. Let me remind you that there will be play on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. The format will suit social players as well on both Monday and Thursday nights. If you are interested in joining in the nighttime tennis, please ring Adam on 0400 214 419 for more details. There is a notice at the Clubhouse giving details of formats and prices. This can be emailed out to you on request at [email protected] . Our other upcoming projects are a new computer system, a sandpit and a meeting room. All projects have been given the go-ahead and should be happening very soon. It was great to see the juniors back. Because the Noosa District does not start fixtures until next term, Andrew, with the help of Adam and Kurt, is running in-house fixtures for juniors on Friday night and Saturday morning. If you are interested, please ring Andrew on 0421 391 505. We are looking forward to a great year of tennis and we would especially like to welcome all our new members.
